Health exchange hangs on fate of federal reform For RPA

By Markian Hawryluk

17% uninsured

The Bulletin

Oregon lawmakers have approved the plan for a statewide health insurance exchange that would fundamentally change the way coverage is sold to individuals and small businesses.

Yet the effort, OK’d last month, remains in a tenuous position as the U.S. Supreme

In 2010, Oregon had some 636,000 uninsured residents, nearly a fifth of the state’s population. The Health Insurance Exchange would assist both individuals buying insurance on their own and those working for small businesses purchase coverage.

For a breakdown of who’s currently covered and how, see A5.

the key pillars supporting Oregon’s exchange plan.

The exchange is designed

to be a central marketplace where individuals and small businesses can compare and purchase health plans from a variety of insurance companies. Individuals who don’t have coverage through their employers could access the exchange through a website, by phone or through an agent and get an apples-to-apples compari-

son of health plans.

Plans listed in the exchange would have to meet certain standards, assuring consumers they represent comprehensive coverage.

The individual insurance market has been fraught with plans that look like normal health plans but provide only limited benefits.

LET THE HUNT BEGIN!

Survey asks: Will locals support a transit tax?

The Bulletin

The Bulletin

A push for a new transit tax is coming to Central Oregon, but officials say it’s a ways off.

The Central Oregon Intergovernmental Council, which operates Cascades East Transit, is working on a plan to address future public transportation needs in Deschutes, Jefferson and Crook counties.

CET operates bus service from La Pine north to Madras and from Prineville west to Sisters. It also operates the fixed-route and Dial-A-Ride system in Bend that was formerly known as Bend Area Transit.

COIC conducted a recent survey that asked 800 residents their opinions on public transit, if they use it and whether they’d be willing to approve a ballot measure increasing taxes to support it.

COIC Transportation Planner Scott Aycock said the questions about a ballot measure were only included to “take the pulse� of residents.

The results are not yet available, he said. “There isn’t some impending ask for funding,� Aycock said. “Right now it’s way too early.

The earliest I could imagine (going to voters) would be November 2013. And even that might be rushing it.�

REDMOND — For Michael Bremont, the growth of charter schools in Oregon modeled after Redmond Proficiency Academy was about more than education: It also represented business opportunities for his consulting firm.

As the school’s founding director, Bremont got the highprofile job of leading the school when it opened in 2009. Then in March, faced with charges of sexually abusing a female Bremont student, he resigned.

While serving RPA as its director, Bremont was tied to a consulting firm that entered into five no-bid contracts with the school’s board. Records show that those contracts totaled $114,400 and were approved by the school’s board between January 2010 and July 2010. The school is overseen by the board of Personalized Learning Inc. Personalized Learning is a nonprofit created to provide oversight and leadership for the charter school. It’s also had a hand in exploring opportunities for similar charter schools to open elsewhere.

Payment for those contracts came in addition to Bremont’s $110,000-a-year salary as the school’s director.

In Chile’s high desert, clues to the universe

By Simon Romero New York Times News Service

LLANO DE CHAJNANTOR, Chile — Trucks stall on the road to this plateau 16,597 feet up in the Atacama Desert, where scientists are installing one of the world’s largest ground-based astronomical

projects.

Heads ache. Noses bleed.

Dizziness overcomes the researchers toiling in the shadow of the Licancabur volcano, in the country’s north. “Then there’s what we call ‘jelly legs,’ � said Diego Garcia-Appadoo, a Spanish

astronomer studying galaxy formation. “You feel shattered, as if you ran a marathon.�

Still, the same conditions that make the Atacama, Earth’s driest desert, so inhospitable make it beguiling for astronomy.

The report by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention that one in 88 American children have an autism spectrum disorder has stoked a debate about why the condition’s prevalence continues to rise.

The CDC said it was possible that the increase could be entirely attributed to better detection by teachers and doctors, while holding out the possibility of unknown environmental factors.

But the report, released last month, also appears to be serving as a lightning rod for those who question the legitimacy of a diagnosis whose estimated prevalence has nearly doubled since 2007.

How well do colleges teach?

• Assessments on student learning are lacking, but support grows for more data

by Richard Arum and Josipa Roksa, published last year. It was based on a study showing that more than one-third of students show no significant gain in critical thinking skills after four years of college.

By Richard Pérez-Peña

‘A work in progress’

New York Times News Service

How well does a college teach, and what do its students learn? Rankings based on the credentials of entering freshmen are not hard to find, but how can students, parents and policymakers assess how well a college builds on that foundation?

What information exists has often been hidden from public view. But that may be changing.

In the wake of the No Child Left Behind federal education law, students in elementary, middle and high schools take standardized tests whose results are made public, inviting anyone to assess, however imperfectly, a school’s performance. There is no comparable trove of public data for judging and comparing colleges.

Pieces of such a system may be taking shape, however, with several kinds of national assessments — including, most controversially, standardized tests — gaining traction in recent years. More than 1,000 colleges may be using at least one of them.

“There’s a real shift in attitudes under way,” said David Paris, executive director of the New Leadership Alliance for Student Learning and Accountability, a coalition of higher education groups. “We used to hear a lot more of, ‘The value of college can’t be measured,’ and now we hear more of, ‘Let’s talk about how we can measure.’ ” In January, the New Leadership Alliance released guidelines calling on colleges to sys-

tematically “gather evidence of student learning” — though not explicitly advocating standardized tests — and release the results. The report was endorsed by several major organizations of colleges and universities.

Advocates say the point is not to measure how each college’s students perform after four years, which depends heavily on the caliber of students it enrolls in the first place, but to see how much they improve along the way.

The concern is less about measuring knowledge of chemistry or literature than about harder-to-define skills like critical thinking and problem-solving.

What, and how, to test?

That vision still faces major obstacles. Colleges that use standardized tests vary widely in what they test, how and when. And many of them that use those tests or national surveys keep the results to themselves.

“I’d love for all the data to be public,” said Jennifer Carney, director of program evaluation at the Jack Kent Cooke Foundation, which conducts education research. But, she added, that would inevitably lead to some colleges manipulating the figures in pursuit of a higher standing, just as some

have done with existing ranking systems.

In the best-known college rankings, by U.S. News & World Report, up to 40 percent of a college’s score is based on its reputation among educators and its selectivity in admitting students. Other factors include several indirect indicators of what happens in classrooms, like student retention, graduation rates and class sizes, but no direct measures of learning.

Critics of standardized tests say they are too narrow and simplistic.

“I’m not sure any standardized test can effectively measure what students gain in problem-solving, or the ability to work collaboratively,” said Alice Gast, president of Lehigh University.

In 2008, the Consortium on Financing Higher Education, a group of some of the nation’s most prestigious colleges and universities — including all of the Ivy League — issued a lengthy manifesto saying that what its students learn becomes evident over decades and warning against a “focus on what is easily measured.”

Testing advocates have gained ammunition from books calling into question the quality of U.S. colleges, notably “Academically Adrift,”

But the concept of universal assessment got its biggest boost in 2006, from the findings of a commission appointed by Margaret Spellings, then the education secretary. The report said that learning “must be measured by institutions on a ‘value added’ basis that takes into account students’ academic baseline,” and that the results must be made available to everyone “to measure the relative effectiveness of different colleges and universities.”

That prompted talk that the federal government might mandate standardized testing, as it did for public schools with No Child Left Behind in 2001.

“That’s what gave this issue urgency,” said Christine Keller, executive director of the Voluntary System of Accountability, an alliance of more than 300 state colleges that was created in response to the Spellings Commission.

“No one wanted the government imposing a standard.”

Her group has approved three competing tests and asks public colleges to use them and post scores on the group’s website.

They are the ETS Proficiency Profile, from Educational Testing Service; the Collegiate Assessment of Academic Proficiency, produced by ACT; and the Collegiate Learning Assessment (used in the “Academically Adrift” study), from the Council for Aid to Education, a research group.

“These instruments are not without controversy,” Keller said. “It’s still very much a work in progress.”

Packing up, moving on — and selling the town

By Dan Frosch New York Times News Service

For years, Don Sammons was the biggest shot in Buford.

He owned everything. The gas station, the trading post, the cafe. Needed anything while passing through town? Sammons was the man to talk to.

In fact, he was the only man you could talk to, being the sole resident of Buford, all 10 acres of it, a windswept Wyoming outpost just off Interstate 80 between Cheyenne and Laramie.

Billing itself as the nation’s smallest town, unincorporated Buford went to auction Thursday after Sammons decided to move on after two decades of living here. The sale drew interest from people around the world who dreamed of owning a bucolic U.S. town on the edge of the frontier.

The auction itself lasted less than 15 minutes before a mysterious Vietnamese man offered a winning bid of $900,000 for Buford, which has been around since the mid-1800s and was once a railroad town with a population of about 2,000.

“People always ask me, ‘Didn’t you get lonely?’ ” he said.

“But there’s a big difference between being lonely and being alone. There are people in New York City, who have millions of people around them, and they might feel very lonely.”

In reality, Buford was not so lonely. More than a thousand people would stop by each day.

The pumps stayed open 24 hours, but by nightfall the traffic died down.

After work, Sammons would often stroll over to his house for dinner, before sitting on his porch, where the view of the mountains shooting up over the plains and the soft whisper from passing cars made the day’s end especially peaceful.

Recently, though, Sammons had started feeling his work here was done.

“I was kind of hoping my son might want to carry it on,” he said. “But he explained to me that it just isn’t his thing. And I certainly understand that.”

After two decades in Buford, Wyo., sole resident Don Sammons sold the town at auction for $900,000.

DID YOU HEAR? The new owner, a man from Ho Chi Minh City, had flown in from Vietnam for the auction. His broker, Rozetta Weston, said he wished to remain anonymous and was not available for comment. It was unclear what the man had in store for Buford.

U.S. defines ‘last chance’ for Iran talks China is

By David E. Sanger and Steven Erlanger New York Times News Service

WASHINGTON — The Obama administration and its European allies plan to open new negotiations with Iran by demanding the immediate closing and ultimate dismantling of a recently completed nuclear facility deep under a mountain, according to U.S. and European diplomats.

They are also calling for a halt in the production of uranium fuel that is considered just a few steps from bomb-grade, and the shipment of existing stockpiles of that fuel out of the country, the diplomats said.

That negotiating position will be the opening move in what President Barack Obama has called Iran’s “last chance”

to resolve its nuclear confrontation with the United Nations and the West diplomatically.

The hard-line approach would require the country’s military leadership to give up the Fordo enrichment plant outside the holy city of Qom, and with it a huge investment in the one facility that is most hardened against airstrikes.

How will Iran react?

While it is unclear whether the allies would accept anything less than closing and disassembling Fordo, government and outside experts say the terms may be especially difficult for Iran’s leaders to accept when they need to appear strong in the face of political infighting.

Still, Obama and his allies

are gambling that crushing sanctions and the threat of Israeli military action will bolster the arguments of those Iranians who say a negotiated settlement is far preferable to isolation and sanctions. Other experts fear the tough conditions being set could instead swing the debate in favor of Iran’s hard-liners.

“We have no idea how the Iranians will react,” one senior administration official said.

“We probably won’t know after the first meeting.” But the next round of oil sanctions, he noted, kicks in early this summer.

The bitter tension among competing factions inside Iran’s leadership, only some of it related to the nuclear issue, may explain the country’s continuing haggling about the venue of the talks, planned

for Friday. In recent days, Iran has changed its position and balked at holding them in Istanbul, demanding a move to what Tehran calls more neutral territory, like Iraq or China.

The shift has underscored doubts among Obama administration officials and their European negotiating partners about Iran’s readiness to negotiate seriously and to finally answer questions from international nuclear inspectors about its nuclear program’s “possible military dimensions.” Those questions are based in part on evidence that Iran may have worked on warhead designs and nuclear triggers.

What’s next?

The outcome of the talks — or their breakdown — could

well determine whether Washington will be able to quiet Israeli threats that it could take military action this year.

And if Iran rejects U.S. and European demands for immediately halting the most dangerous elements of the program, President Obama could face a crisis in the Persian Gulf by early summer, in the midst of his re-election bid.

“This may be the most complex negotiation I’ve ever seen the president enter,” one senior administration official said last week. “It’s got the Democrats and Republicans looking to score points, the Russians and the Chinese trying to water down the sanctions, the French pushing for harsher actions and the Israelis threatening to take the program out.”

U.S. to Syria: Don’t fool us

A group consisting largely of women cheers on Mitt Romney after his primary win in Wisconsin last week. Romney is starting to sharpen his appeal to female voters, acutely aware as he pivots towards the general election that he’ll need to narrow President Barack Obama’s commanding lead among that critical group to beat him.

Romney hones pitch to women

By Laurie Kellman The Associated Press

WASHINGTON — Mitt Romney is turning his attention to female voters.

And none too soon, say many Republican activists.

They expect Romney, as well as his popular wife, Ann, to make an explicit pitch to female voters on the economy and jobs, their top issues.

Whoever the eventual nominee, he “needs to start recognizing the power that women voters have,” said Rae Lynne Chornenky, president of the National Federation of Republican Women.

Romney, on pace to clinch the nomination in June if not earlier, acknowledges that the GOP faces a historical challenge in closing the advantage Democrats have with women. Like Obama, he sees pocketbook issues as the key to winning them.

“We have work to do to make sure we take our message to the women of America, so they understand how we’re going to get good jobs and we’re going to have a bright economic future for them and for their kids,” Romney said last week in Middleton, Wis.

By Friday, Obama was making the same argument at the White House, where he hosted a conference on women and the economy. He presented a full review of the administration’s achievements on equal pay and workplace flexibility as new unemployment numbers showed an uptick in job creation.

“When we talk about these issues that primarily impact women, we’ve got to realize they are not just women’s issues. They are family issues, they are economic issues, they are growth issues, they are issues about American competitiveness,” said Obama, using his office to cast himself as a defender of women. His Democratic allies are putting it more bluntly, accusing Republicans of waging a “war against women.”

Almost daily, the nation’s political discourse features some echo of this battle for women’s votes, whether from members of the House and Senate, the Democratic and Republican

Romney surrogates say his wife, Ann, will be important in helping the former Massachusetts governor appeal to female voters.

national committees or the presidential candidates.

On Thursday, Obama called for women to be accepted as members to the all-male Augusta National, home of the Masters golf tournament. Romney quickly followed his lead.

But the Republican’s challenge is stark.

Romney must overcome history, political math and the missteps of a party that picked a fight over one provision of Obama’s health care law and ended up on the defensive over access to birth control. Romney also has work to do with female voters after inconsistencies or misstatements on issues such as abortion.

Republicans have faced a “gender gap” since 1980, with women generally favoring Democratic candidates. A recent USA Today/Gallup poll found that gap lifts Obama to a lead across a dozen crucial states. The poll showed women favor Obama by 18 percentage points while men split about evenly between the two candidates. Taken together, that means women boost Obama to a 51-42 lead over Romney in those states.

There’s evidence that Romney may have a steeper climb among women than Arizona Sen. John McCain, the GOP nominee in 2008, faced. Washington Post/ABC News polls at roughly the same point in the political calendar show McCain was viewed favorably

by 47 percent of women at this time in 2008, while Romney currently stands at 30 percent favorable among women.

Romney is convinced women, like men, will vote chiefly on Obama’s stewardship of the nation’s finances, so he tried to stay focused on the economy during this year’s battle over contraception. But some of his surrogates led the effort to cast the law’s mandate for birth control coverage as a violation of religious freedom, considered a lost argument that left questions about the GOP’s commitment to preserving women’s rights.

The Republican National Committee is providing a model for any direct pitch Romney eventually makes to women. It has an extensive operation of surrogates and specific talking points that connect the party’s commitment to lower taxes and smaller government to the “kitchen table decisions” women make every day: fitting rising gas and college prices into family budgets, for example, or managing health care costs under Obama’s new law, or keeping government regulations from whittling the profit margins of the small businesses millions of them own.

But then there’s the way Romney handles questions about his message to women; conservative Republican women say he has work to do on that front. Virtually every time, Romney answers by invoking his wife of 43 years, and reports what’s she’s told him about what women want.

“She reports to me regularly that the issue women care about most is the economy, and getting good jobs for their kids and for themselves,” Romney said Wednesday. “They are concerned about gasoline prices, the cost of getting to and from work, taking their kids to school or to practice and so forth after school.

The U.S. warned Syria it won’t be able to deceive the world about compliance with a cease-fire that is just days away, as regime forces pounded more opposition strongholds Saturday in an apparent rush to crush resistance before troops must withdraw. Activists said more than 100 people were killed, including at least 87 civilians.

Syrian President Bashar Assad has accepted a cease-fire agreement brokered by international envoy Kofi Annan calling for government forces to withdraw from towns and villages by Tuesday, and for the regime and rebels to lay down their arms by 6 a.m. Thursday.

Saleh loyalists seize Yemen airport SANAA, Yemen — Loyalists of former Yemeni leader Ali Abdullah Saleh seized Sanaa International Airport, the country’s main one, Saturday as tanks and armored vehicles occupied the tarmac and forced authorities to cancel flights, a day after a military shake-up in which key commanders were fired.

The standoff highlighted the challenges facing the country’s new leader, who must balance a promise to purge ex-regime elements from the army with the lingering influence of his predecessor. At stake is the stability of the Arab world’s poorest country, where al-Qaida is poised to fill the vacuum.

detaining Tibetans in droves

By Edward Wong New York Times News Service

DHARAMSALA, India — Hundreds of Tibetans who attended an important Buddhist ceremony in January in India have been detained without charge by Chinese security officers on their return to Tibet, according to relatives and friends living in exile in India, international human rights groups and officials with the Tibetan exile government.

This is the first time Chinese authorities have detained large numbers of Tibetan pilgrims returning from the ceremony, held every year in northern India.

Many of the pilgrims are elderly and have been detained for more than two months in central Tibet.

The detainees are being interrogated and undergoing patriotic re-education classes, and have been ordered to denounce the Dalai Lama, who presided over the ceremony, known as the Kalachakra, say people who have researched the detentions. The detainees are being held at hotels, schools and military training centers or bases; some are being forced to pay for their lodging and meals.

Calls made Friday to the Beijing offices of the United Front Work Department, which helps oversee Tibet policy, and to the border affairs office of the Tibet Autonomous Region went unanswered.

5 shot in possible hate crimes New York Times News Service The authorities in Tulsa, Okla., were scrambling Saturday to find a man who they say opened fire on five people in four apparently random shootings a day before, killing three people and wounding two more.

The FBI has joined the investigation into the kill-

ings, which police say may have been hate crimes.

The police do not believe the victims knew one another, but the timing and proximity of the shootings on the city’s north side, all within miles of each other, have led them to believe the attacks are linked.

The two injured victims were expected to survive, officials

said.

Officials said the survivors had described the gunman as a white man who was driving a white pickup truck with its tailpipe hanging. All five victims were African-American.

Before these shootings, Tulsa had had 11 homicides since the beginning of the year, according to data.

In ways that seem familiar today, editors at The New York Times and elsewhere organized saturation coverage of the Titanic’s sinking on April 15, 1912, managing to cover what one authority calls “the first really, truly international news event where anyone anywhere in the world could pick up a newspaper and read about it.”

The Titanic story established “a full-speed-ahead, all-hands-on-deck kind of coverage,” as journalism educator Roy Peter Clark of the Poynter Institute put it, that has been repeated in countless disasters since. “There’s evidence that that goes back to this event.”

The coverage showcased the benefits — and dangers — of seizing a new, instantcommunication technology.

It established standards and new standard-bearers.

The story became a turning point for The New York Times.

Its coverage would distinguish it among the city’s 20 or so dailies, setting it on course to “secure claim to a position of preeminence ... among American newspapers that it would never relinquish,” wrote Daniel Allen Butler in his history, “Unsinkable: The Full Story of RMS Titanic.”

Broadcast news, too, got a strong push with this story.

David Sarnoff, a young Marconi operator, made a name for himself with days of nonstop updates from a storefront window in New York, drawing crowds so large the police had to keep order. It was the start of a pioneering radio career that saw Sarnoff become the long-serving head of NBC. The Titanic went down at a time when wireless, a technology that would become ubiquitous, was just taking hold — comparable to our adjustment today to Twitter and the like.

As the stricken ship’s messages were picked up, sometimes by amateurs with Marconi receivers, “you’d get these

Although Titanic news would remain on many front pages for weeks, it became a different story now.

There was coverage of the return of the dead. From Halifax, Nova Scotia, AP’s Frank Elser described the “rough coffins” stacked at the stern of a recovery ship.

Newspapers closely followed a U.S. Senate investigation, at which, among many others, some top editors were called to testify about how well or poorly the public had been informed. When the Senate inquiry turned to whether aid might have reached the Titanic sooner, it got an explosive assist from a news story.

There were suggestions that the ship Californian, which had stopped for the night because of the ice danger, might have been close enough to make a rescue; its captain waved the notion away. But a crew member, Ernest Gill, told The Boston American a devastating version of events: The Californian, its wireless turned off for the night, saw the Titanic’s repeated distress flares, and the captain was informed but took no action before going back to sleep. In the story, Gill estimated the ships were just 10 miles apart.

On seeing the story, the committee summoned Gill, and his testimony added another colossal what-if to the Titanic narrative that has endured for a century in poems, songs, plays, movies, right down to TV’s “Downton Abbey” today.

“It was the unthinkable tragedy,” said Heyer, the communications professor. “Every factor that played into the Titanic becoming a myth played into the news coverage.”

that a college consultant can help a family navigate complicated financial aid forms. That said, people can also do the work themselves.

Not all prison consultants are ex-cons. Some worked as prison guards or employ former prison officials. Others are lawyers. Their clean record is more of an asset than being able to brag about time behind bars, they say.

Many people hire consultants simply because they’re scared and want to know what to expect. The consultants teach prison etiquette. For example? “Never walk across a wet floor,” Mulholland advised, saying you might mess up the work of the prisoner manning the mop. And then he might kill you.

‘All-hands-on-deck’ story

Continuing coverage

VENTURA COUNTY, Calif. — Larry Levine runs a thriving business out of a gated apartment complex here, a setting that’s not at all bad for a home office considering some of the prison cells he’s lived in. But as he drops into his plush beige and white sectional couch to talk business, something is nagging at him.

The trouble is the new competition. All these guys are setting up shop, marketing themselves on the Internet, claiming they know the ropes and cutting into his market share.

To Levine, they’re a bunch of poseurs, with no street cred. After all, they’ve barely spent any time behind bars.

“Look at my résumé; I’ve got 10 years: high-security, medium, low,” said Levine, 50, who was in jail until 2007 on narcotics trafficking, counterfeiting and weapons charges. “These guys go in for a year and a half, maybe two. I’ve got more experience than all the rest of these guys combined.”

Levine is a prison consultant.

The business — which entails advising people who are facing jail time on how to prepare for life on the inside, deal with medical issues, transfer to other prisons and even reduce their sentences — has been around for decades. It enjoys a burst of publicity when a boldface name like Bernie Madoff or Michael Vick hires a consultant.

But the business is changing. Behind the scenes, the profession is attracting a new crop of ex-cons who believe they can put their experience to work, rather than have it burden them in a tough job market.

And more competition means rising tempers and flying accusations.

“This industry’s exploding,” mourned Levine, who operates two websites, American Prison Consultants and Wall Street Prison Consultants. He reached to a nearby coffee table and picked up a piece of paper listing the names of several dozen competitors and the length of their prison sentences. This is not a rap sheet; it’s market research.

The business, he said, is “becoming saturated with people who don’t know what they’re doing.”

He and his competitors (some of whom find his prison time equally unimpressive) walk a fine marketing

line, bragging about an extensive criminal record to attract customers. That can make it tough for potential clients to choose: How much incarceration time is enough? What kind of experience is right for the job — maximum security, solitary confinement, a knife fight?

William Mulholland, who founded the Real Prison Consultant in 2010, offers advice free, he said, so he can build credibility. There’s another reason: He’s not allowed to charge for his services. That’s because he remains under supervisory release and faces limitations on interacting with known felons, who could be among his clientele. He spent 21 years in prison for violent crimes; he’s been in gunfights, has beaten people with bats and sold drugs. He said he is building his brand for when he can begin charging in June 2013.

The Internet and social media certainly have given the business a boost, and the consultants are go-to guests on cable shows whenever a high-profile personality is indicted. The field includes Felony Prison Consultants, Executive Prison Consulting, The Real Prison Consultants, Faceless Prison Consultants, The Prison Coach, The Prison Doctor and others, around three dozen in all.

Their prices range widely; some charge by the hour, some by the service, from a few hundred dollars to tens of thousands per client, depending partly on the consultant’s experience and work required.

It’s not clear whether the number of customers is growing or just the number of people hanging out a shingle is.

The consultants’ websites promote a long list of services, including helping people petition to be sent to a jail nearer to home, getting them into a drugtreatment program that can reduce a sentence or transitioning them to a halfway house.

Do the consultants make a difference?

They certainly can, according to people who work in the criminal justice system. A sharp consultant, they say, can help with complicated paperwork, in much the same way

Wil

“In terms of news dissemination, the Titanic disaster can be seen as the beginning of what media guru Marshall McLuhan called the ‘global village,’ though he coined that term with 1960s satellite communication in mind,” said communications professor Paul Heyer, author of “Titanic Century: Media, Myth and the Making of a Cultural Icon.”

Stories poured forth — careful and factual or speculative and wrong.

“NO LIVES LOST,” a London headline reassured in the confusing early coverage. Reporters everywhere sought to localize the story — one paper even measuring the ship’s immensity by imagining it berthed on the town’s street grid. A Kentucky headline solemnly summed up: “Millionaire and Peasant, Shoulder to Shoulder, Go to Their Death ....”

Errol Somay, who oversaw a Library of Virginia exhibit of the universal coverage, said, “The thing that struck me was the news cycle — like 9/11: the coverage of the chaos of the event, then the human interest stories, then the fingerpointing — ‘We have to figure out whom to blame.’ ”

wireless operators that knew reporters and editors at newspapers, and they said, ‘Here’s what’s going on,’ ” historian Butler said in an interview.

“This was very much a social network — they were using dots and dashes rather than images over an LCD screen.”

And sometimes, the fragments of news, traveling lightning fast, got garbled.

That apparently explains some first-day reports of the ship being towed to Halifax with everyone safe. Amid the wireless chatter crackling across the airwaves, someone asked about the Titanic passengers’ safety — and the response somehow got confused with a message that another vessel was safely under tow. Butler traced the mix-up to “two fragments picked up by a wireless station in Massachusetts.”

Balancing speed with accuracy is, of course, a reporting lesson that persists, as do others that unfolded with the Titanic coverage — about finagling eyewitness accounts, about debunking dubious official claims, about championing the release of information.

This news story can be divided into three parts, answering three basic questions: At first, reporters simply tried to clarify the “what” — what had happened 400 miles off the Newfoundland coast; when survivors finally arrived in New York on the rescue ship Carpathia, the “how” could be gathered from eyewitnesses; and finally, as official and journalistic investigations examined the disaster, the public would start to learn the “why” that has enthralled us for 100 years.

New York Times News Service

NE

NEW YORK — A listless late shift dragged on that night in the newsroom of The Associated Press and, across town, at The New York Times.

Feet up on the AP city desk, an editor named Charles Crane read an H.G. Wells novel to while away the news-free night. “Telegraph instruments clicked desultorily,” he said later, “and occasionally one could hear the heartbeat of the clocks.”

At the Times, the managing editor, Carr Van Anda, had returned from his usual late supper to an office where a forgettable story about a political feud was being readied for the front page. A copy boy dozed.

In the midst of this somnolence at a little after midnight on April 15, 1912, no one knew that, 1,000 miles away, the “story of the century” was breaking — news that would change so many things, including news coverage itself.

At that moment, off the coast of Newfoundland, the Titanic was two hours from sinking.

For more than an hour, the great ocean liner had been sending out distress signals.

“CQD, CQD,” the coded Morse message repeated, then the now more familiar “SOS.” The urgent calls were picked up by other ships — some of which turned toward the Titanic’s reported location for rescue — and the signals reached onshore receiving stations of the relatively new Marconi wireless radio system.

There, each scrap of detail was eagerly snatched up, passed on, then passed on again.

In no time, the electrifying words reached New York. In the AP newsroom, Crane’s yawn became a gasp when a colleague burst in from an outer office waving a wire message from Canada: “Reported Titanic struck iceberg.”

Instantly, editors started contacting coastal receiving stations to glean whatever they knew, phoned the Titanic’s owners, cabled London for a list of passengers — who might now be doomed.

“We put out a ‘flash’ and the bare report of the crash,” Crane recalled years later in a recollection now kept in the AP Corporate Archive. That news story, stitching together the unthinkable bits of detail from wireless messages, went everywhere in seconds.

At the Times, the now wideawake copy boy stood by as Van Anda absorbed the oneparagraph wire dispatch: “CAPE RACE, Newfoundland, Sunday Night, April 14 (AP) — At 10:25 o’clock tonight the White Star Line steamship Titanic called ‘CQD’ to the Marconi station here, and reported having struck an iceberg. The steamer said that immediate assistance was required.”

The Times presses were already running for an early edition. The managing editor fired off assignments and began composing a new front page, trying to make sense of the silence that, according to wire updates, had followed the repeated distress calls.

Editors of many other papers would respond by “playing the story safe by printing the bulletins and writing stories that indicated that no great harm could come to the ‘unsinkable’ Titanic. Not Van Anda,” wrote Meyer Berger in a history of the Times.

“Cold reasoning told him she was gone. Paralyzing as the thought was, he acted on it.”

The great ship’s fate wouldn’t be confirmed for many hours.

White Star Line officials cast doubt on the seriousness of the accident when reporters from the AP, the Times and others called. But the Times city edition headlines anticipated the worst: “New Liner Titanic Hits an Iceberg; Sinking by the Bow at Midnight; Women Put Off in Lifeboats; Last Wireless at 12:27 a.m. Blurred”

SUNDAY, APRIL 8, 2012 • THE BULLETIN

Health care Continued from A1 The exchange would also allow individuals to see what tax credits or financial assistance might be available to help them pay for their coverage, and to enroll in their chosen plan on the spot.

Businesses with fewer than 50 employees could also use the exchange to provide a broad range of choices to their workers. Exchange developers are still trying to finalize what options will be available to small businesses, but have identified four scenarios.

Employers could choose a single plan for their employees, choose a single insurance company that offers a choice of several plans, choose a single level of coverage and allow employees to choose among different insurers, or to provide a set amount of money to employees and let them shop for insurance.

That flexibility appeals to small business owners such as Aelea Christofferson, owner of Sunriver-based ATL Communications and a member of the exchange’s board of directors. She became involved in the effort to build an exchange because she was frustrated with the onesize-fits-all options currently available.

“Everybody in my company has to take the same thing.

They have to have the same deductible. So we as a group actually vote at the beginning of the year, ‘How many people want this deductible versus this deductible?’ ” she said. “What the exchange will allow us to do, although I will continue to pay what I’ve been paying for my employees’ health insurance, they will be able to go to the Internet site and select what works best for them.”

If the fourth option is included, each worker at ATL Communications could potentially choose a different plan from a different insurer.

“What I think the exchange has the potential to do is act like a large employer’s HR department,” said Sabrina Corlette, a Georgetown University health policy professor who issued a report on Oregon’s exchange effort last month.

“It can consolidate the purchasing power of small businesses and individuals and act on their behalf to get the best deal.”

Autism Continued from A1 As one online commentator says, parents “want an ‘out’ for why little Johnny is a little hard to control.” Or, as another skeptic posted on the Web, “Just like how all of a sudden everyone had ADHD in the ’90s, now everyone has autism.”

The diagnosis criteria for autism spectrum disorders were broadened in the 1990s to encompass not just the most severely affected children, who might be intellectually disabled, nonverbal or prone to self-injury, but those with widely varying symptoms and intellectual abilities who shared a fundamental difficulty with social interaction. As a result, the makeup of the autism population has shifted: Only about a third of those identified by the CDC as autistic last month had an intellectual disability, compared with about half a decade ago.

Thomas Frazier, director of research at the Cleveland Clinic Center for Autism, has argued for diagnostic criteria that would continue to include individuals whose impairments might be considered milder. “Our world is such a social world,” he said. “I don’t care if you have a 150 IQ, if you have a social problem, that’s a real problem. You’re going to have problems getting along with your boss, with your spouse, with friends.”

But whether the diagnosis is now too broad is a subject of dispute even among mental health professionals. The group in charge of autism criteria for the new version of the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders has proposed changes that would exclude some who currently qualify, reducing the combination of behavioral traits through which the diagnosis can be reached from a mind-boggling 2,027 to 11, according to one estimate.

Biology, so far, does not hold the answers: There is no blood test or brain scan to diagnose autism. The condition has a large genetic component, and

But now those dollars and other policy changes contained in the federal health reform law are threatened by the Supreme Court review.

If judges decide to throw out the entire law, or even just the controversial provision requiring virtually all individuals to purchase insurance by 2014 or face a financial penalty, Oregon’s health insurance exchange efforts could crumble.

“Oregon has really struggled economically for a number of years, so the real key thing for us is that (the federal law) provided the development and startup funding, and the subsidies that are available to people,” said Rocky King, executive director of Oregon’s Health Insurance Exchange Corp. “The federal act really provided us the resources.”

If the law is struck down, the exchange would have to find new funding just to operate. The exchange was approved by the legislature, but is a non-government organization and receives no funding from the state.

In the long term, the exchange plans to finance its operations with an administrative fee charged to plans sold through the exchange.

The exchange aims to be self-sustaining within two years, but only if it can attract a bare minimum of 100,000 to 120,000 individuals, King said. The business plan approved by state lawmakers was based on a projection of some 280,000 individuals using the exchange within two years.

The federal tax credits and subsidies for lower-income individuals to buy health insurance will only be available through the exchange, which should drive many lower-income uninsured to the exchange early on. But developers are also counting on the individual mandate to bring higher-income uninsured to the exchange.

If the entire law is struck down, the exchange would likely lose both groups. Without subsidies, most of the lower-income groups wouldn’t be

has been linked to new mutations that distinguish affected individuals even from their parents. But thousands of different combinations of gene variants could contribute to the atypical brain development believed to be at the root of the condition, and the process of cataloging them and understanding their function has just begun.

“When you think about that one in 88, those ‘ones’ are all so different,” said Brett Abrahams, an autism researcher at Albert Einstein College of Medicine. “Two people can have the same mutation and be affected very differently in terms of severity. So it’s not clear how to define these subsets.”

Some parents bristle at the notion that their child’s autism diagnosis is a reflection of the culture’s tendency to pathologize natural variations in human behavior.

Difficulty in reading facial expressions, or knowing when to stop talking, or how to regulate emotions or adapt to changes in routine, while less visible than more classic autism symptoms, can nonetheless be profoundly impairing, they argue. Children with what is sometimes called “highfunctioning” autism or Asperger’s syndrome, for instance, are more likely to be bullied than those who are more visibly affected, a recent study found — precisely because they almost, but don’t quite, fit in.

In a blog entry, Christa Dahlstrom wrote of the “eye-rolling response” she often gets when mentioning her son’s autism by way of explaining his seeming rudeness: “The optimist in me wants to hear this as supportive — Let’s not pathologize differences! but the paranoid, parent-on-the-defensive in me hears it as dismissive.”

There are, Dahlstrom acknowledges, parents of children with autism whose challenges are far greater. And perhaps it stands to reason that at a time when government-financed services for such children are stretched thin, the question of who quali-

fies as autistic is growing more pointed. “ ‘You don’t get it; your kid is actually toilet trained,’ ” another mother told her once, Dahlstrom recalled. “And of course she was right. That was the end of the conversation.”

But Zoe Gross, 21, whose autism spectrum disorder was diagnosed at age 4, says masking it can take a steep toll. She has an elaborate flow chart to help herself leave her room in the morning (“Do you need a shower? If yes, do you have time for a shower?”). Already, she had to take a term off from Vassar, and without her diagnosis, she says, she would not be able to get the accommodations she needs to succeed when she goes back.

According to the CDC, what critics condemn as overdiagnosis is most likely the opposite. Twenty percent of the 8-year-olds the agency’s reviewers identified as having the traits of autism by reviewing their school and medical records had not received an actual diagnosis.

The sharpest increases appeared among Hispanic and black children, who historically have been less likely to receive an autism diagnosis.

In South Korea, a recent study found a prevalence rate of one in 38 children, and a study in England found autism at roughly the same rate — 1 percent — in adults as in children, implying that the condition, rather than becoming more prevalent, had gone unidentified previously.

Those numbers are, of course, dependent on the definition of autism — and the view of a diagnosis as desirable. For John Elder Robison, whose memoir “Look Me in the Eye” describes his diagnosis in middle age, the realization that his social awkwardness was related to his brain wiring rather than a character flaw proved liberating. “There’s a whole generation of people who grew up lonelier and more isolated and less able to function than they might have been if we had taken steps to integrate them

Corlette, who is evaluating health reform efforts in 10 states under a grant from the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation, said Oregon is ahead of the vast majority of states on implementing health reform, in part because state reform discussions preceded the federal health reform bill, known as the Affordable Care Act. That’s also allowed reform discussion to continue, absent the strife associated with the federal reform law.

But it was the federal Affordable Care Act that allowed Oregon to proceed with the exchange, she said.

“The Legislature on a number of occasions going back to 2006 tried to pass exchange legislation and legislation to expand insurance coverage, and the sticking point each and every time was the lack of financing,” Corlette said.

“The key reason that the effort was able to move forward in Oregon and a number of other states is that the ACA brings federal dollars to the table.”

Those dollars also come with strict deadlines that focused the attention of state lawmakers and reform advocates, she said.

Judicial review

able to afford to buy insurance on their own. And those who don’t currently buy insurance could continue to forgo coverage.

Even if only the mandate is struck down by the court, it could undermine the effort. In part, that’s because the health law also makes other regulatory changes in the individual insurance market. For one, starting in 2014, all individuals will be guaranteed coverage regardless of their health status or pre-existing conditions, and plans won’t be able to charge higher rates to lesshealthy individuals.

But even the Obama administration concedes those guarantees can’t stand without an individual mandate to purchase health insurance. Otherwise, individuals would simply wait until they are sick to purchase health coverage.

Washington state recently tried implementing guaranteed coverage without a mandate and drove virtually all health insurance plans out of the individual market. Exchange developers in Oregon are already projecting that premiums for individuals will jump when those with health problems that kept them from getting insurance flood the individual market. But without the insurance mandate bringing in lower-cost, healthy individuals to offset those highercost, sicker individuals, premiums could skyrocket.

According to state officials, about a third of people seeking individual health policies are rejected based on health status. Without the guaranteed coverage rule, those individuals wouldn’t be able to seek coverage through the exchange either.

The combination of losing the federal subsidies and the regulatory changes could make it impossible for the exchange to attract enough individuals to remain viable.

And that could send exchange officials back to the drawing board and the exchange plan back to the legislators.

“Our intent would be to make a series of recommendations and tell them what it would cost to move forward without the federal dollars, what legislative changes would be needed, and it would really be a decision on the part of the legislature and the governor what type of action they want to take,” King said.

into society,” he said.

Yet even parents who find the construct of autism useful in understanding and helping children others might call quirky say that in an ideal world, autism as a mental health diagnosis would not be necessary.

“The term has become so diffuse in the public mind that people start to see it as a fad,” said Emily Willingham, who is a co-editor of “The Thinking Person’s Guide to Autism.” “If we could identify individual needs based on specific gaps, instead of considering autism itself as a disorder, that would be preferable. We all have our gaps that need work.”

“But the reality is (Oregon is) already dealing with significant deficits.”

Work proceeds While King and those developing the exchange are keeping one eye on the Supreme Court, work is continuing to ensure the exchange can open without a hitch on Oct. 1, 2013.

Workgroups are now starting the task of setting the essential health benefits that all plans must provide and choosing benchmark plan that all plans will have to resemble.

They must also determine how to let people know about the exchange and its benefits.

The federal funding for operating the exchange does not allow funds to be used for marketing.

The exchange plans to publish grades for health plans, helping consumers choose plans that best suit their needs but also possibly driving individuals to better performing plans. Over time that could affect the quality of health care statewide.

“We have to have a value to using the exchange,” said Patrick O’Keefe, with the Cascade Insurance Center in Bend, and a member of the Consumer Advisory Committee for the exchange. “The captive audience are those people who are getting the tax credits and those subsidies, and anybody who is not eligible for those, why should they use the exchange? That’s the milliondollar question.”

In addition to attracting enough individuals to make the exchange financially viable, O’Keefe hopes that greater numbers will mean the exchange can have a bigger impact on the cost of health care in the state.

With enough individuals participating in the exchange, officials can go back to insurance companies and negotiate lower rates. And since insurance companies must offer the same plans outside of the exchange, it could have far-reaching effects on health premiums.

“Is it going to change the universe in the first few years?

I don’t think anybody thinks that’s going to happen,” he said. “Can it start in certain ways to bend the cost curve of health care? I think the exchange may have the ability to do that.”

The Associated Press ANCHORAGE, Alaska — A spring snowfall has broken the nearly 60-yearold seasonal snow record of Alaska’s largest city.

Inundated with nearly double the snow they’re used to, Anchorage residents have been expecting to see this season’s snowfall surpass the record of 132.6 inches set in the winter of 1954-55.

The 3.4 inches that fell by Saturday afternoon brings the total to 133.6 inches.

National Weather Service meteorologist Shaun Baines said forecasters don’t expect more than an inch of additional accumulation.

Before a dumping of wet snow Friday, none had fallen since mid-March, and the seasonal measure hovered at 129.4 inches, or nearly 11 feet. The halt gave residents a chance to clear their snow-laden roofs and city crews an opportunity to widen streets squeezed by mountains of snow.

Extreme weather has hit not only Alaska. It’s also struck the lower 48, where the first three months of 2012 has seen twice the normal number of tornadoes and one of the warmest winters on record.

NAVY JET CRASH

A ‘Good Friday miracle’ — but how?

By Zinie Chen Sampson and Michael Felberbaum The Associated Press

VIRGINIA BEACH, Va. — A 12ton Navy jet loaded with tons of fuel crashes in a spectacular fireball into a big apartment complex, scattering plane parts and wiping out some 40 units. How is it that everyone survived?

The mayor of Virginia Beach could only call it a “Good Friday miracle” and pilots marveled at how a failed training flight that engulfed buildings in flames managed to crash without killing anyone. The student pilot, his instructor and five on the ground were hurt, but all were out of the hospital by Saturday.

Investigators, witnesses and experts said multiple factors were at play: • Most of the F/A-18D jet’s fuel was dumped before the crash, causing

Bremont Continued from A1 The roots of Bremont’s consulting firm stretch back to October 2008, when paperwork for Jake Straib Management Consulting was filed with the Oregon secretary of state.

It listed three organizers and members: Bremont; Jon Bullock, now the interim director of RPA; and Shay Mikalson, who later became superintendent of the Redmond School District. Bremont was its registered agent, and the company still exists.

“Michael was the driving force behind the business and did the vast majority of the work, and he controlled the finances and operations,” Bullock said. “So my knowledge about the status of the company — I’m still in the process of learning about it.”

The month before the company started, the same trio of educators succeeded in getting the Redmond School District’s board to approve in September 2008 an application for the charter school to start. At the time, Bullock was principal of Redmond High School, and Mikalson and Bremont were assistant principals at the school.

Name’s origin Jake Straib doesn’t exist — at least not one associated with the company.

That name came about when the educators who started the company rearranged some of the initials of their children, forming the name “Jake Straib.”

“There’s no one named Jake Straib,” Bullock said.

In another twist, Bremont’s criminal case file indicates that he’s used “Adam Straib” as an alias, though it doesn’t reveal the circumstances.

An alias need not be a legal name. And it doesn’t appear from public records that Bremont has ever used Straib as a legal name.

Bremont’s education career spans back to 1996 in Oregon schools. Bremont’s name is on his college transcripts, a résumé and job application he sent to the Central Linn School District when applying for a job in 2002. He worked there until 2006 as a high school vice principal and principal.

After graduating in December 1995 from Bloomsburg University of Pennsylvania with a bachelor’s degree in special education, Bremont began his career the next month as a substitute teacher at Lake County School District in Southern Oregon. That brief job lasted until June 1996.

From there, he worked as a special education teacher at Sisters School District in the 1996-97 school year. In the fall of 1997, he returned to the Lake County School District, where he worked as a counselor and later as director of student services.

In 2002, Bremont moved to Central Linn School District, staying there until 2006 as both a high school vice principal and principal.

In 2006, Bremont came to Redmond High School, working as the assistant principal of instruction and curriculum.

There, he helped put proficiency-based learning opportunities in place for students.

That work led to an interest in opening a charter high school that would be entirely devoted to proficiency-based education. That model of education is tailored toward in-

less of an explosion.

• The Navy credited neighbors and citizens with pulling pilots away from the flames after they safely ejected.

• The plane crashed into the apartment complex’s empty courtyard, and two days before Easter in the middle of the day, most residents weren’t home.

“At the end of the day,” said Daniel Rose, a former Navy jet pilot, “I think it was a lot of fortuity. You look at this as a one-off and you still got to scratch your head.”

The F/A-18D Hornet suffered some sort of massive mechanical problem while soaring above Virginia Beach on Friday, sending it plunging into the Mayfair Mews apartment complex and taking out dozens of units.

dividual student needs, with courses that allow them to progress at their own pace after demonstrating proficiency in the material. Students also can develop classes and projects based on their individual strengths and interests.

Bremont, who left Redmond High in 2009 to become the first director of RPA, couldn’t be reached for comment.

Contract details Four of the five contracts centered on the efforts of Personalized Learning Inc. to start similar charter schools in two other districts: SalemKeizer and Tigard-Tualatin.

For the effort in the TigardTualatin district, there was a $19,000 contract for development services and a $24,700 contract for recruitment and training services the board approved in January 2010. That $43,700 amount was the bulk of the $56,000 planning grant for charter schools from the Oregon Department of Education.

At the same meeting at which the contracts were approved, Bremont had an answer ready when a board member — hearing of other possible new school sites — asked if there was too much growth too soon.

According to meeting minutes, Bremont said: “We get grant money and never have to open the school. It is for exploring the option to open a new charter school.”

Tigard-Tualatin school officials later rejected an application for the school to open, and the effort died.

Mikalson said his only involvement with the consulting company was in writing the grant for the Tigard-Tualatin effort.

He left the company as he moved into the superintendent post at the district in 2010.

“I haven’t been a part of it since,” he said.

Public records show that the company’s filings were amended in May 2010, taking Mikalson’s name off and leaving only Bremont and Bullock.

That same month, Mikalson was hired as interim superintendent at the school district.

The district is overseen by a board different from RPA’s board.

Bullock said he helped but described his role as minor compared with Bremont’s.

“I helped write the grants, and I provided advice when asked questions,” he said.

The Salem-Keizer effort was more successful.

That district’s board has accepted the charter application, though its opening date was pushed back a year to the fall of 2013 after Bremont’s arrest.

For the Salem-Keizer proposal, the board hired the Jake Straib firm in June 2010, signing off on a $23,000 contract for development services and a $24,700 contract for recruitment and training services for the new school.

Like the other two contracts, the payments came out of a $56,000 charter school planning grant from the Oregon Department of Education.

Patrick MacKelvie, president of RPA’s board, stressed that the money that went toward efforts to open new schools was taken from grants — not from the budget of the Redmond charter school.

State law doesn’t allow mixing funds from one charter school to help another one get its start, he said.

Bremont’s connection to the consulting firm wasn’t hidden

Tim Riley said.

The aviators on board likely did everything they could to mitigate damage on the ground; one pilot apparently waited until the last second to eject because he was found still strapped to his seat, said J.F. Joseph, a former airline pilot, retired Marine colonel and decorated Navy pilot who flew with the daredevil Blue Angels.

Investigators will work from the outside of the site toward the center to gather parts from the jet and examine them, as well as check out the flight data recorders, which had not yet been recovered, Harvey said. The investigation could take weeks, he said.

While many people weren’t home in the destroyed apartments, others nearby were going about their day and could only wonder how they avoided such a close call. The plane somehow missed them, in one case

from the board.

“For us, the face of that organization was pretty much always Michael,” MacKelvie said.

The fifth contract was directly tied to Redmond Proficiency Academy — not new school efforts. Jake Straib Management Consulting also got a $23,000 contract to provide charter school recruitment and training services directly to RPA — work that also was covered by a grant.

That contract came about due to the rapid growth of RPA, MacKelvie said, adding that because of the specialized proficiency-based education system, more time and effort is needed to recruit the right staff.

“It takes a special kind of teacher with training and sort of a different philosophy,” MacKelvie said.

‘Potential conflict’ The school’s board unanimously voted on the contracts in open, public meetings after hearing proposals for the contracts from Bremont, meeting minutes show.

The question of possible conflicts with having Bremont getting contracts for his business was acknowledged but not considered worrisome enough to avoid.

Board meeting minutes note that the board is aware of “any potential conflict between Michael Bremont, Director of RPA, and co-owner of Jake Straib Management Consultants and accepts that.”

Charter school conflict of interest policies recommended by the Oregon School Boards Association, by comparison, forbid school employees from using their position for “personal financial benefit,” extending that to relatives, household members and “any business with which the employee, household member or relative is associated.”

Those policies are based on Oregon’s conflict of interest laws for public officials, which include school employees.

“It was done in good faith,” MacKelvie said. “We were aware of the statutes.”

He said the nature of the firm’s work made it different from other professional services — like attorneys — that would have presented multiple options.

“With the situation, it was a little unique because there weren’t any other firms — at least that we were aware of — that could do that sort of development work,” he said.

Other documents echo that sentiment. For example, the charter school board reviewed a recommendation concerning the work on the Tigard-Tualatin School District proposal. That recommendation stated: “The recommendation for the use of JSM and the non-competitive process is that JSM consists of three partners (Jon Bullock, Shay Mikalson and Michael Bremont) who each possess extensive knowledge in the areas of school administration, charter school development, and proficiency-based practices.

Further, this same group — as individuals — successfully performed similar work for PLI in the development of RPA. There are no other consultants specializing in proficiency, the training of proficiency staff, or the hiring of proficiency staff.”

MacKelvie said the arrangement wasn’t hidden, with the board approving the contracts publicly and noting the conflict.

“We acknowledged that

conflict of interest,” he said. “It was all kind of out there.”

Asked about how Bremont’s consultant duties were separated from his director job, MacKelvie said: “Michael’s stance on it was always that the development of other schools was taking place away from RPA and outside of RPA time.”

Still, the ties between the consulting company and school were close. In 2009, for example, the school and consulting company shared the same mailbox address, business filings show.

How much work was devoted to consulting activities is difficult to pinpoint. Invoices that the company submitted to Personalized Learning list only the flat fee agreed to in contracts.

The billing records from the company don’t detail how many hours of work were involved.

“We never asked him for time sheets or anything of that level,” MacKelvie said.

Spending increase is sought to help end veterans’ homelessness B y Rob Hotakainen McClatchy Newspapers

WASHINGTON — Darren Spencer, a 39-year-old Army veteran from Tacoma, Wash., found himself homeless after losing his $15.45-an-hour job as a furniture mover a year ago. He takes pills for his depression and has trouble hearing. He has no car, and his unemployment benefits ran out in December.

But Spencer considers himself lucky on one count: Last August, he got a voucher from the federal government to help pay the $725 monthly rent for his apartment in Tacoma’s Hilltop neighborhood, where he lives with his 18-year-old son, Lamont.

“I still have a lot of stress, but that’s one thing I don’t have to stress about,” Spencer said. “It’s still hard, but at least now I have a place to stay.”

Spencer is among thousands of beneficiaries of a federal effort to end all homelessness among veterans by 2015. It’s a lofty goal as the nation gears up to accommodate another 1 million service members who are set to return home from war in the next five years.

To get the job done, President Barack Obama and the Veterans Affairs Department are thinking big, asking Congress to increase spending for veterans homeless programs by 33 percent next year, to $1.35 billion.

On Capitol Hill, Sen. Patty Murray, D-Wash., is the champion of the cause, making the issue a centerpiece of her tenure as the chair of the Senate Veterans’ Affairs Committee.

Last year, when some Republicans in the House proposed eliminating 10,000 vouchers as a way to save $75 million from the 2011 federal budget, Murray pushed to get the money reinstated. At the time, Republicans defended the plan by saying that many of the vouch-

ers weren’t being used.

According to the government’s latest count, 67,495 of the nation’s 22 million veterans were homeless last year.

That was a nearly 12 percent drop from a year earlier, when the government found 76,329 veterans in emergency shelters or living in their cars,

abandoned buildings or on the streets. If Congress approves the new funding request, VA Secretary Eric Shinseki told Congress last month, the number of homeless veterans will fall to 35,000 next year.

But Murray, the first woman to lead the Senate Veterans’ Affairs Committee, is

none too pleased with the VA’s performance in one key area: She says far too many female veterans are falling through the cracks. While the overall numbers have declined, the number of homeless female veterans more than doubled from 2006 to 2010, rising from 1,380 to 3,328.

Transit Continued from A1 It’s no secret local officials want to develop their own taxing base for public transit. Currently, the service is propped up with funds from local governments as well as state and federal grants. For instance, the city of Bend contributes more than $1 million to COIC as part of an agreement to merge BAT and CET. There are several options for funding transit in Oregon, with the most common being to form a transit or transportation district. There are about 10 of these in the state, with most relying on property taxes. Three districts get funds through a payroll tax.

While Aycock said no decisions have been made about the best possible funding source for the region, the COIC-commissioned survey focused on property taxes.

One question asked whether residents would be willing to support a tax of $25 per $100,000 of assessed value on their homes to keep current service levels. Another asked if they would be willing to spend $40 per $100,000 of assessed value if there was a “significant improvement” to public transportation services in the region.

Central Oregon hasn’t had much success with public transit taxes. Bend failed twice — in 2004 and 2008 — to get voters to approve funding measures for BAT. And with public agencies looking to voters to help with other budget strains — the city passed a $30 million road bond measure last year, and the Bend Park & Recreation District is now considering its own bond measure for special projects — there’s a question about how much people can handle.

Aycock, however, said public transit is an important component to the region’s future, and if a ballot measure campaign is managed properly, he believes the public would agree.

“Typically, you don’t develop a public service or public infrastructure that has to rely on discretionary funds every year,” Aycock said. “You try to find a way to develop a dedicated funding source so that it’s stable and so that staff can focus on delivering services and improving it rather than having to spend their time figuring out how to fund it.”

Spencer, who served six years in the military after he joined at age 18, said he’d been frustrated with the VA because he wanted more help with his mental health problems. And since he lost his unemployment benefits, Spencer said, he’s been relying on “the grace of God” to survive, along with

timely temporary jobs such as helping friends or acquaintances move.

With the housing voucher, “it’s been a big load off of my shoulders,” Spencer said. “And it just feels good to be able to say I have a place to stay, and my kid has a place to lay his head.”

WARNINGS FOR HUMANKIND IN POPE’S EASTER HOMILY

Pier Paolo Cito / The Associated Press

Pope Benedict XVI, carrying a tall, lit candle, ushered in Christianity’s most joyous celebration with an Easter vigil service Saturday night, but voiced fears that mankind is groping in darkness. “Life is stronger than death. Good is stronger than evil.

Love is stronger than hate. Truth is stronger than lies,” Benedict told the thousands of faithful packed into St. Peter’s Basilica.

But “the darkness that poses a real threat to mankind, after all, is the fact that he can see and investigate tangible material things but cannot see where the world is going or whence it comes, where our own life is going, what is good and what is evil.”

Benedict, who has made protection of the environment a theme of his papacy, made a reference to urban pollution in his homily. “Today we can illuminate our cities so brightly that the stars in the sky are no longer visible. Is this not an image of the problems caused by our version of enlightenment?” Except for the twinkle of camera flashes, the basilica was pitch-black.

“With regard to material things, our knowledge and our technical accomplishments are legion, but what reaches beyond, the things of God and the question of good, we can no longer identify,” Benedict added, saying that faith was the “true enlightenment.”

This morning, Benedict leads Easter Mass in St. Peter’s Square and then delivers a speech from the central balcony of the basilica, at the end of stamina-testing Holy Week appearances. The pope turns 85 on April 16.

Mexico’s own drilling plan sparks new worries in Gulf

By Tim Johnson McClatchy Newspapers

MEXICO CITY — Two years after the worst offshore oil spill in U.S. history, Mexico’s state oil company is about to test its hand at drilling at extraordinary depths in the Gulf of Mexico.

If all goes as planned, Petroleos de Mexico, known as Pemex, will deploy two stateof-the-art drilling platforms in May to an area just south of the maritime boundary with the United States. One rig will sink a well in 9,514 feet of water, while another will drill in 8,316 feet of water, then deeper into the substrata.

Pemex has no experience drilling at such depths. Mexico’s oil regulator is sounding alarm bells, saying the huge state oil concern is unprepared for a serious deepwater accident or spill. Critics say the company has sharply cut corners on insurance, remiss over potential sky-high liability.

Mexico’s plans come two years after the Deepwater Horizon catastrophe. On April 20, 2010, a semi-submersible rig that the British oil firm BP had contracted to drill a well known as Macondo exploded off the Louisiana coast, killing 11 workers and spewing 4.9 million barrels of oil in the nearly three months it took engineers to stop the spill.

BP has said the tab for the spill — including government fines, cleanup costs and compensation — could climb to $42 billion for the company and its contractors.

Pemex’s plans to sink even deeper offshore wells underscore Mexico’s pressing need to maintain sagging oil production — exports pay for onethird of government operating expenses — along with oil companies’ desire to leverage technology and drill at ever more challenging depths.

Carlos Morales, the chief of the Pemex exploration and production arm, which employs 50,000 people, voiced confidence that his company has the ability to sink wells in ultra-deep water.

“Pemex is ready to undertake the challenge and to do it safely,” Morales said in an interview in his 41st-floor office at Pemex headquarters in this capital city.

“You have to bear one thing in mind,” he said. “Pemex is the biggest operator in the Gulf — including everyone — both in production and in the number of rigs we operate.

We are operating more than 80 rigs offshore.”

The area where the two wells are to be sunk is some 30 miles south of the maritime boundary in the Gulf between Mexico and the United States.

Astronomy Continued from A1 Far from big cities, the Atacama has a dearth of light pollution. Its arid climate prevents radio signals from being absorbed by water droplets. The altitude, as high as the Himalaya base camps for climbers preparing to scale Mount Everest, places astronomers closer to the heavens.

Opened last October, the Atacama Large Millimeter/ submillimeter Array, known as ALMA, will have spread 66 radio antennas near the spine of the Andes by the time it is completed next year. Drawing more than $1 billion in funding mainly from the United States, European countries and Japan, ALMA will help the oxygen-deprived scientists flocking to this region to study the origins of the universe.

The project also strengthens Chile’s position in the vanguard of astronomy.

Observatories are already scattered throughout the Atacama, including the Cerro Paranal Observatory, where scientists discovered in 2010 the largest star observed to date, and the Cerro Tololo Inter-American Observatory, which was founded in 1961 and endured Chile’s tumult of revolution and counterrevolution in the 1970s.

But ALMA opens a new stage for astronomy in Chile, which is favored by international research organizations for the stability of its economy and legal system. Like other radio telescopes, ALMA does not detect optical light but radio waves, allowing researchers to study parts of the universe that are dark, like the clouds of cold gas from which stars are formed.

With ALMA, astronomers hope to see where the first galaxies were formed and perhaps even detect solar systems with the conditions to support life, like water-bearing planets.

But the scientists here express caution about their chances of finding life elsewhere in the universe, explaining that such definitive proof is likely to remain elusive.

“We won’t be able to see life, but perhaps signatures of life,” said Thijs de Graauw, a Dutch astronomer who is ALMA’s director.

Still, scientists believe ALMA will make transformational leaps possible in the understanding of the universe, enabling a hunt for so-called cold gas tracers, the ashes of exploded stars from a time about a few hundred million years after the Big Bang that astronomers call “cosmic dawn.”

ALMA’s construction, said Jesus Mosterin, a prominent Spanish philosopher who writes about the frontier between science and philosophy and who visited the observato-

Trucks idle on the road to this plateau 16,597 feet up in the Atacama Desert in Chile, where scientists are installing a vast astronomical project. With the observatory called ALMA, astronomers hope to see where the first galaxies were formed, and perhaps even detect solar systems with the conditions to support life.

Workers inspect the panel of an antenna before assembling it last month. ALMA houses about 500 researchers and other personnel in shipping containers converted into living quarters. Workers have daily shifts lasting up to 12 hours for eight days straight. Many toil through the night.

ry last year, is taking place at “the only time in history that windows into the universe are being thrown wide open.”

Ambitious projects Chile is not the only country luring big investments in astronomical projects. South Africa and Australia are competing to host an even bigger radio telescope, the Square Kilometer Array, which would be fully operational by 2024.

China has begun building its own large radio telescope in a craterlike setting in the southern province of Guizhou.

At the same time, the financial crisis in rich industrialized countries has raised concerns that funding for some ambitious astronomy projects could face constraints. In the United States, a congressional panel last year proposed killing NASA’s James Webb Space Telescope before a compromise spending plan saved the project.

“It would be very sad for humankind if we were so spiritually decadent to forgo the pleasures of consciousness and of knowledge,” said Mosterin, reflecting on the funding choices political leaders need to make. “These things make human beings a very interesting animal indeed.”

ALMA’s Operations Sup-

port Facility, an outpost built for the scientists here in the Atacama, offers a glimpse into the lengths to which people go for astronomical discoveries. From Chajnantor, where dust devils dance across the plain, and unusually extreme weather in recent months has included rains and sand storms, a dirt road runs to the facility past towering cactuses and herds of wild donkeys and vicuñas.

The facility, at an altitude of about 9,500 feet, houses about 500 researchers and other staff in shipping containers turned living quarters. In a system similar to that on offshore oil platforms, scientists have daily shifts lasting up to 12 hours for eight days straight. Many toil through the night. “Quiet Zone,” reads one sign in an area of containers for ALMA’s so-called day sleepers.

Supervisors enforce other rules, ensuring a work environment almost as austere as the surrounding Martian landscape. Alcohol is prohibited, and those found drinking after trips into San Pedro de Atacama, a town about 30 minutes away by car, must dry out at a security checkpoint before entering the futuristic complex.

In the control room, where astronomers spend hours

peering into screens displaying the array of antennas, some gallows humor prevails.

“We are well in the control room, the 17,” reads one message scribbled on a piece of roofing and posted on the wall after fire alarms went off by accident in 2011, sealing those inside the control room until they broke a door to escape.

(The note riffs on the 2010 mine accident and subsequent rescue of 33 miners in the Chilean desert, during which the trapped men sent a note to the surface saying, “We are well in the shelter, the 33.”)

Why here?

Developments elsewhere in Chile occasionally raise eyebrows here, like anti-government protests that have rocked remote regions of the country this year and spread in March to the nearby mining city of Calama.

“The protests are not directly a concern,” said de Graauw, ALMA’s director. “They are part of a democratic process, not a revolution.”

Still, it seems at times that the astronomers stationed here are as far removed from the world around them as the miners working beneath other parts of the Atacama.

English predominates as the observatory’s language, tying together scientists from dozens of countries.

A sense of awe still accompanies the installation of each new antenna. Two giant German-manufactured transporters, each with 28 tires and engines equivalent to two Formula 1 racing vehicles, are used to transport the antennas. Called Otto and Lore, they look like massive mechanized centipedes making their way across the arid landscape.

“There’s a quietness that comes to you at Chajnantor,” said Lutz Stenvers, a German engineer who came here in 2008 to lead a team from General Dynamics building the antennas. “I can see why this place was chosen.”

“If you’ve ever been down here on a day when it’s full, you know that it gets pretty darn crowded,” said Jen Collins, the sponsor donor development representative with the American Red Cross’ Oregon Mountain River Chapter. “We needed a place that could better accommodate our growth.”

The American Red Cross donation center in Bend will

move from Northeast Twin Knolls Road to a new building at 815 S.W. Bond St. in the Old Mill District later this month.

The chapter, which had been at the Twin Knolls Road location for about seven years, serves Deschutes, Crook and Jefferson counties.

Red Cross officials say the move is necessary to better accommodate the 200 to 300 donors who visit the office each week.

“The new office is designed to be a donor center,” Collins said. “The configuration is specifically designed for traffic flow and donor comfort.”

• Wet and wild fun at the Spring Fling, the ski resort’s season send-off

By Scott Hammers The Bulletin

Dripping wet, 18-year-old Nick Morgan posed for a photo with his dad on the edge of a large pool of slush at Hoodoo on Saturday afternoon, beaming in a large pair of mirrored goggles and an extremely small black and blue swimsuit.

“Speed is the trick,” observed John Morgan, who’d come up from Keizer with his son to watch him and others ski across the surface of the chilly pond, some with more success than other.

Nick Morgan shook his head, and pointed a finger toward his waist.

“No. Speedo.”

Saturday was the annual end-of-season celebration at the ski area on Santiam Pass — the Spring Fling — and with temperatures into the upper 40s, celebrants brought out the costumes. Competing alongside Nick Morgan and his Speedo were skiers in Mexican wrestling masks, lederhosen, Andrew Ritchie of Bend in his Spider-Man suit paired with a bunny head, and a man dressed as Bend’s dancing Little Caesars Lady.

“Nobody else is wearing

one,” Nick said, explaining his choice of attire. “I was gonna wear a gorilla suit, but I figured someone else would.”

Pond skimming was just one of several events at the Spring Fling, including a ski-bike race and the Ultracross, a race where teams of one snowboarder and one skier make timed runs through a gated course, with a time bonus for detouring across the skimming pond at the end.

Moving irrigation water by night may solve a surplus electricity problem that led the Bonneville Power Administration to stop wind power production last spring.

The federal agency is conducting a pilot project involving an irrigation district in an Idaho agricultural valley east of Boise. When it finds itself with excess power from hydropower dams and wind projects along the Columbia River Gorge, it notifies the Southwest Irrigation District, said BPA Spokesman Doug Johnson. The district responds by turning on electric pumps that pull water from the Snake River and recharge the area’s underground aquifer.

“As we see times that there is extra energy out there, we can call on them to do the pumping,” he said.

Surplus power often becomes a problem at night, when residential and business use sags. If the project succeeds, the model may expand to other irrigation districts around the Northwest, including some in Oregon, potentially consuming as much as 100 megawatts of excess electricity.

“That’s a pretty creative idea,” said Steve Johnson, manager of the Central Oregon Irrigation District.

However, Johnson noted, the only Central Oregon irrigation district that uses electric pumps to move water is the North Unit Irrigation District on the Crooked River.

The BPA’s calls to fire up the pumps usually come between 9 p.m. and 7 a.m., said Grant Wyatt, president of the Southwest Irrigation District near Burley, Idaho.

“It’s an off-peak power usage program is what it really is,” he said.

The district uses about 1.8 megawatts for pumping to recharge its aquifer, according to the BPA. In all, the BPA, which oversees dams on the Columbia and a massive power transmission system, is trying to balance a power portfolio of 4,000 megawatts of wind and 14,000 to 16,000 megawatts of hydropower around the Northwest.

To entice the district to try the experiment, the BPA is offering power at a 50 to 60 percent discount, Wyatt said. The district typically pays 5 cents per kilowatt hour to power its pumps, but is paying 2.5 cents per kilowatt hour for the pilot project.

Bend ice-making factory begins operations in April 1912 This feature is compiled by Don Hoiness from archived copies of The Bulletin at the Des Chutes Historical Museum.

100 YEARS AGO For the week ending April 7, 1912

Shaniko days now historic With the opening up of traffic to the west and south, Bend is rapidly realizing the fulfillment of the prophecy that, by reason of its location, it is destined to be the greatest distributing point in Central Oregon.

The pioneers, who were here in the days when Shaniko flourished, remember that when a merchant desired new goods he mailed an order to Portland, which with a bit of luck, reached there in the course of a week or ten days.

Barring washouts and similar pitfalls his goods arrived in Shaniko in another three or four days. From then on the matter of getting his canned tomatoes, calico and shoes lay in the lap of the little gods and in the temperament, rectitude and sobriety of his freighter. It might be a month and it might be three.

Now these conditions be-

long to an effete past. Stocks of sugar, salt, flour, oil and other staple commodities are being carried in the warehouse at Bend and when a merchant wished supplied of these things he gives his freighter an order and receives his goods within a week.

Recently a new wholesale industry has been added to the list — that of the distribution of packing house products. The Union Meat Co., of Portland, has established a branch house at Bend in charge of the Central Oregon Brokerage Co., a local concern which is acting as

distributing agent for a number of Portland wholesalers, composed of E.M. Lara and W.H. Coble.

A large stock of meats and lards is carried with the United Warehouse Co. at all times and the local and interior merchants are proving by their patronage that they are finding this innovation a great convenience.

The Central Oregon Brokerage Co. reports that it is making shipments to Burns, Silver Lake, Fort Rock, Fife, Powell Butte, Fremont and into the Prineville country and that the tonnage is constantly increasing.

Ice making will start this month Within three weeks ice making in Bend by the Central Oregon Ice and Cold Storage Co. will be started, according to R.G. Hall of the company.

The building here has been finished and machinery for the factory is arriving. As soon as everything can be installed the work of changing Deschutes river water into pure ice will be begun.

Mr. Hall said that the creamery will be in operation before the ice making factory is ready and will be turning out butter and other creamery products.

75 YEARS AGO For the week ending April 7, 1937

Pronghorns and hounds Nearly lost in the haze of unrecorded history is an account of an antelope hunt with hounds that occurred in Central Oregon about 50 years ago. From old timers there can occasionally be obtained sidelights on that hunt which indicate that it was a real thriller and of such importance that it should have been assigned a definite place in history of a region whose pages are replete with pioneer events — Indian raids, lost immigrant trains, hangings by vigilantes and range wars of such extent that the state legislature was called on to take action to stop the slaughter of stock.

The antelope hunt, according to the bits of information obtained by old timers from their fathers or from participants, occurred in those lush times when the interior plateau was abundantly covered with grass and the pronghorns ranged widely over a territory now included in Deschutes, Jefferson, Crook, Lake and Waco counties. So abundant were the pronghorns that General Howard, in crossing the region in early days, gave the name of Antelope Valley to the creek bottom where the town of Antelope was later founded.

Old timers say that antelope were especially abundant in the present Jefferson county region adjacent to the Deschutes and Crooked River. It was in that region, so the meager information obtained from the distant past indicates, that Oregon’s only antelope hunt with hounds was held, probably in the late seventies.

In Central Oregon at that time, there was a rancher with fine hounds, it appears. So great was the rancher’s pride in the hounds that he was confident that they could be used

in trailing pronghorns across the grass-covered plains. The news rapidly spread through the thinly populated midstate and ranchers came from afar — from the Ochoco bottom lands where Linn county people were founding a rangeland empire, from the antelope community and from the Camp Polk area.

Into the antelope country of the Culver basin trekked the hunters and hounds, as spectators watched from points of vantage.

Soon inquisitive pronghorns appeared on a grassy knoll and the dogs were unleashed.

Straight toward the flag tailed pronghorns sped the hounds, in full cry. It seemed for a time that they would surround and pull down the antelope before the little creatures suspected their apparent danger.

Suddenly the antelope wheeled, raced through the tall grass, left the yelping pack far behind and disappeared. Central Oregon’s first and only antelope hunt with hounds was history, but apparently the owner of the hounds was so disgusted with their showing that no attempt was made to record for posterity facts of that hunt.

50 YEARS AGO For the week ending April 7, 1962

Goat path from Alfalfa to Prineville Reservoir should be left alone, boys (Editorial) There is a goat path leading from Alfalfa to Prineville Reservoir.

We know this information is of little interest to the general public because only a few of us hardy souls have been over it.

But that particular goat path has been of some interest of late to a few people in Central Oregon.

It has been of interest to both Deschutes and Crook County Courts. They’ve been squabbling, but only slightly, over who said what to whom about improving which goat path.

It has been of interest in Prineville, where community leaders, or at least some community leaders, lose sleep at the thought of Bend people driving directly to the reservoir, instead of through Prineville.

It has been of interest to the Game Commission, which wants more people to take fish from the heavily planted reservoir nestled in the Crooked River Canyon.

And last, it has been of interest to the Prineville Central Oregonian, which suspects a sinister plot by Bend people to assume prime use of the reservoir, shutting out its friendly Prineville neighbors to the east.

It all started when a Bulletin reporter picked up a rumor that the goat path would be improved. The reporter talked to Deschutes County Judge D.L. Penhollow. Yes, said Penhollow, the road might be improved in the future.

The goat path from Alfalfa to Prineville Reservoir is passable most of the year. When it isn’t fishermen can drive through Prineville and out Highway 27.

Most people will probably agree with us when we say, leave it that way. There are too many lakes west and south to worry about one more.

Besides, that will insure that the few of us who do fish at Prineville Reservoir will be able to do so without much competition.

Ralph Budd’s death at 75 takes another empire builder from the railroad scene Ralph Budd’s name possibly means little to the present generation, or to new arrivals to Central Oregon. But this was not true in the distant days when two great railroad systems were engaged in an epochal battle in the Deschutes Gorge.

Ralph Budd was chief engineer of one of the railroads, the Oregon Trunk. He became engineer for that line in 1909, shortly after the Battle of the Gorge had been joined. It was

Bend, very nearly made it. A four-year veteran of the event, Campbell slowed to a near crawl just inches from the back side of the pond, and sunk to her armpits. She vowed to give it another try.

“It’s just the most awesome feeling when you make it across,” Campbell said.

Campbell’s partner in the Ultracross, 25-year-old Preston McKinney of Bend, did even worse. McKinney rocketed across the pond at high speed only to dig in the edge of his snowboard, bounce off the snowbank at the edge of the pond and sink to the bottom.

Brushing the water out of his eyes, McKinney said it was all worthwhile.

“It’s just a blast,” he said. “I brought two kids up here from Texas. It’s their first time in the mountains. I had to show them what it’s all about.”

Trevor Braatz of Eugene, 36, said he was content to stay dry on the sidelines.

“It’s fun to watch ’em get soaked,” he said. “The crashes are the best part.”

Continued from B1 Oregon Adaptive Sports, an organization that provides ski lessons to individuals with physical disabilities, staged the Snowathalon, involving a loop around a Nordic trail, a snowshoe hike up the mountain, and a run through a gated course on skis or a snowboard.

With a Hoodoo season pass to be awarded to the champion pond skimmer — with extra points awarded for costumes and stylish crashes — the skimming contest brought out a few dozen competitors, along with an audience of a couple of hundred.

As each competitor headed down the slope, the crowd murmured, deliberating over whether the skiers were moving fast enough to clear the roughly 60-foot gap. Several blew up on impact, flipping over the tips of their skis to land headfirst in the icy water, while the luckier ones glided smoothly, carrying just enough speed to make it out the far end of the pond relatively dry.

Demolition starts at Shevlin Mill One of the three historic Shevlin-Hixon lumber mill buildings was demolished this morning as a small group of onlookers braved a steady rain to watch a salvage crew pull down the 70-year-old building.

Private security guards kept onlookers well away from the site as crewmen from Hap Taylor Construction Co. of Bend pulled down sections of the north building which once served as The Shevlin-Hixon Company’s box factory.

Brooks Resources Corp., owner of the buildings, ordered the buildings demolished to make way for future development.

The company announced in January that it wanted to tear down and burn the buildings.

The news triggered a community debate over whether it was possible to save the last remaining structures of the mill which played a key role in the early development of the community.

In a series of meetings before the Deschutes County Historical Landmarks Commission, Brooks officials said the buildings were a fire danger and too run down to be renovated. The company has spent nearly a decade trying to sell the buildings.

Opponents of the demolition tried to come up with ideas to save the buildings, such as turning them into a museum, movie theater complex or arts and crafts mall. But no one came forth with the money to pay for such projects.

Jim Bussard, vice president

— Reporter: 541-383-0387, shammers@bendbulletin.com

of the Brooks Resource Corp., said members of the Deschutes Historical Society had been allowed into the buildings in recent days to save a number of items such as old doors, light fixtures, fire bells and signs that urged mill workers to buy “Victory Bonds” during World War II. What is left of the old buildings will go to the salvage company or go up in flames at one of two burning sites that will be set up near the demolition site, said Bussard.

“I really don’t think there will be that much left to burn,” he said. “Most of the wood will be salvaged.”

Brooks, which will spend about $100,000 on the demolition, plans to have everything on the site removed except for the huge water tower on the southeast corner of the property.

The company intends to build a monument commemorating the Shevlin-Hixon lumber mill and its workers, Bussard said.

The monument plans call for a concrete pedestal covered with brick from the old powerhouse at the ShevlinHixon mill. A brass plaque will be mounted on the pedestal to explain some of the history of The Shevlin-Hixon Company.

Benches made from some of the timbers of the old buildings also will be placed at the monument site.

Week Continued from B1 The STOCK Act makes it illegal for members of Congress and their staffs to profit from nonpublic information learned through the course of their professional duties.

Obama asked Congress during his State of the Union address to send him such a bill. The president said he was proud to sign it, but that more needs to be done to “close the deficit of trust and limit the corrosive influence of money in politics.”

“The STOCK Act makes it clear that if members of Congress use nonpublic information to gain an unfair advantage in the market, then they are breaking the law. It creates new disclosure requirements and new measures of accountability and transparency for thousands of federal employees,” he said. “That is a good and necessary thing. We were sent here to serve the American people and look out for their interests — not to look out for our own interests.”

Obama also signed the Jumpstart Our Business Startups (JOBS) Act, which is designed to make it easier for private companies to hold initial public offerings and for small startups to raise investment capital, including through an online method called crowdfunding where many donors give small amounts.

“This bill represents exactly the kind of bipartisan action we should be taking in Washington to help our economy,” Obama said. “I’ve always said that the true engine of job creation in this country is the private sector, not the government. Our job is to help our companies grow and hire.”

Staff to urge keeping Waldo Lake boat ban EUGENE — The director of the Oregon Marine Board says the staff will recommend keeping a ban on gas-powered boats at Waldo Lake. The board is scheduled to hold a public hearing Tuesday in Springfield.

Marine Board Director Scott Brewen said the staff is still trying to figure out a future for seaplanes because the Oregon Aviation Board opposes banning them at Waldo.

Nearly 4,000 people have weighed in on the ban on internal combustion engines, nearly all of them supporting it.

The Marine Board is reassessing its bans on motorboats and seaplanes after a lawsuit claiming the ban is unnecessary and state board doesn’t control the lake.

Many hikers and kayakers say Waldo Lake is a haven that should be protected.

DA says deputy was justified in shooting SPRINGFIELD — The Lane County district attorney says a sheriff’s deputy was legally justified in shooting a woman who reached for a gun last week.

Jennifer Tucker, 31, admitted pulling out a .44-caliber revolver during a confrontation with the deputy east of Springfield.

She told an investigator she had been “stupid” to do it.

Deputy Jason Wilson shot Tucker four times, striking her in the neck, chest and hand.

She remains hospitalized and has not been charged with a crime for the incident April 2.

Squirrels saved from engine compartment TUALATIN — When Tanya Wood took her SUV to a mechanic’s shop, the chewed-up wiring was easy to explain — three baby squirrels were snuggled in a nest in the engine compartment.

Professional exterminators told her they needed to kill the squirrels but Wood decided to rescue them. She said hours earlier she’d seen a grown squirrel staring quizzically at her back home.

Wood and two of her Tualatin neighbors went to the mechanic’s shop, dug through the nest and found the three tiny squirrels.

They put them in a cardboard box and left it next to where Wood’s SUV was parked when the nest was likely built. Wood says a mother squirrel showed up minutes later and — one by one — ferried the babies from the box to a tree.

Retirement ends 100 years of family’s dental practice

The Associated Press PORTLAND — A man on trial for shooting at six Portland police officers, injuring two, shouldn’t face criminal consequences because he was seriously ill and had high levels of ammonia in his system, causing him to be confused and delirious, his lawyer argues.

The trial began Friday for 62-year-old Ralph Clyde Turner, charged with attempted aggravated murder.

Turner is seeking a verdict of not guilty or guilty except for insanity, and he hopes to be released under the supervision of state psychiatric officials.

Prosecutors said witnesses will show that Turner was lucid. He may have been sick, depressed, upset and impulsive, prosecutor Chris Ramras told jurors “but Mr. Turner wasn’t insane” when he opened fire on police in March 2011.

Three officers initially responded to a Portland du-

plex to check on Turner after a report that he was suicidal. As the officers approached the entrance, police say Turner shot through a metal security door. Later, according to authorities, he used the scope on a rifle to aim at other officers who responded.

Sgt. Reed Hunt was struck in the hand by shrapnel or metal fragments from the door. He has since retired. Officer Parik Singh was struck in the side of his lower abdomen. He has recovered and returned to work.

“It’s the action he (Turner) regrets most in his life,” defense attorney Bear WilnerNugent said.

Turner had always lived a peaceful life, his lawyer said, but he spent many years abusing alcohol and heroin. He has heart disease and liver problems, the latter of which led to a buildup of ammonia in his system.

A conviction for attempted aggravated murder would carry a minimum sentence of 10 years in prison.

ROSEBURG — When Roseburg dentist Dave Finlay retired in December, it was the end of a centurylong tradition.

“This is the first year in 100 years that there hasn’t been a Finlay dentist,” said James Finlay Jr., 66, of Glide, who practiced with his brother Dave, 61, until his own retirement five years ago.

Three generations of Finlays cleaned and fixed the teeth of Roseburg-area patients.

It began with Gilbert Finlay, a Battle Creek, Mich., native who moved to Roseburg in 1911.

He followed a man with whom he attended dental school in Chicago. He thought the man, R.M. Brumfield, to be highly respectable. As it turned out, Gilbert Finlay’s perception on that score was about as wrong as it could possibly be.

Ten years after Finlay relocated here, Brumfield became the central figure in one of the most sensational murder cases in Douglas County history. In 1921, Brumfield was convicted of killing a man from Myrtle Creek. Brumfield traded identification with him, placed him in his own car and set it on fire. He did all that in hopes of collecting life insurance.

“It really devastated my grandfather because he had thought so much of this man,” Dave Finlay said.

Brumfield may not have turned out to be the best reason to come to Douglas County, but the move worked out for the Finlay family anyway. Gilbert’s son, James Finlay Sr., joined the practice after serving in the Navy in World War II. Grandsons James Finlay Jr. and Dave Finlay joined their father after Gilbert Finlay retired.

Dave Finlay said going into business with his father and brother in 1978 was a wonderful way to be introduced to the field.

“I had the benefit of a lot of good advice and experience when I started out,” Finlay said.

For six years he worked with both his father and brother before the senior Finlay retired in 1984. Today, James Finlay Sr., 89, suffers from Alzheimer’s disease. He lives at Callahan Court Memory Care Community in Roseburg.

“I think we were very close,” Dave Finlay said of his relationship with his father. “He was never a man who talked very much, but the way that our minds worked was very similar.”

Now retired, Finlay is following in his father’s footsteps in another way.

Dudley, 2010 candidate for governor, is moving

Michael Sullivan / The News-Review

Recently retired dentist David Finlay stands in the office he formerly shared with his father and brother in Roseburg. When Finlay retired in December, it was the end of a centurylong tradition. Three generations of Finlays cleaned and fixed the teeth of Roseburg-area patients.

Elegant but simple walnut coffee and end tables in his living room attest to his skill at woodworking, a favorite hobby he learned from his father. He said one of the memories his father still retains is the ability to identify exotic pieces of wood.

The Finlays shared a love of sports, at which the elder Finlays showed significant talent.

James Finlay Sr. was an allstate basketball star for Roseburg High School and played for Oregon State University in 1941 until the war intervened.

Finlay Field, where the Roseburg High Indians play football, is named for Gilbert Finlay, who coached basketball, football and baseball teams at the high school.

James Finlay Jr. recalled that his grandfather was a small man, about 5 foot 6 inches tall. Family lore has it that Gilbert Finlay was so small that when he played football in high school, members of the offensive team used to lift him up and toss him over the line so he could gain a few yards.

Gilbert Finlay moved his office to the third floor of the Medical Arts Center in 1929, which is now the Professional Center on Southeast Oak and Main Streets.

New at that time, the center was the first building in town designed for medical and dental offices.

“Back then, nearly every doctor or dentist practiced in that building,” Dave Finlay said.

There was at least one Finlay dentist in that building from that year until Dave Finlay retired at the end of 2011. Neither of Dave Finlay’s grown children and none of his nieces and nephews has shown any interest in dentistry, he said, so when he retired he was the last of the line.

Dave Finlay said he has warm memories of himself as a boy visiting his dad and granddad in their office.

“Sometimes we would just go down there during the day, and I think to get us out of their hair, they would let us go into the laboratory area. My dad would turn on the Bunsen burner and give us some wax.

We’d make boats and different

things like that.”

Finlay said he had no plans as a young man to join the family business.

“I had never been pressured one way or another about going into dentistry,” Dave Finlay said.

In fact, he said, he was on his third major in college and not too enthusiastic about any of his options before an aunt in Bellevue, Wash., asked him whether he had ever considered becoming a dentist like his dad, a question that caused him to reconsider.

Fang, one of China’s best-known dissidents, inspired ’80s protests

By Michael Wi New York Times News Service

BEIJING — Fang Lizhi, whose advocacy of economic and democratic freedoms shaped China’s brief era of student dissent that ended with the 1989 Tiananmen Square protests and his exile, died Friday in Tucson, Ariz., his son, FEATURED Fang Ke, said OBITUARY Saturday.

Fang was 76. The cause of death was not known, his son said in a telephone interview.

A brilliant scientist — and in his early years a loyal member of the Communist Party — Fang had become China’s best-known dissident by the 1980s, his views shaped by persecution in China and exposure to Western political concepts abroad.

In early 1989, he published an open letter to China’s paramount leader, Deng Xiaoping, calling for the release of political prisoners. The letter helped galvanize a pro-democracy student movement that spring, peaking on June 4, when Chinese troops killed hundreds of student protesters among the masses occupying Tiananmen Square.

Fearing arrest, Fang sought refuge with his family at the U.S. Embassy in Beijing. President George H.W. Bush’s decision to grant him protection there provoked a yearlong diplomatic standoff with the Chinese that ended, after secret negotiations, with a decision by Chinese leaders in June 1990 to allow the family to leave China, ostensibly for medical treatment.

Fang later became a professor of physics at the University of Arizona in Tucson, where he taught and continued to speak out on human rights until his death.

“No words can express my grief,” wrote Wang Dan, who was imprisoned for four years for his leadership role in the Tiananmen protests. “Fang Lizhi has inspired the ’89 generation and has awakened the people’s yearning for human rights and democracy.”

Quickly flouted authority Fang’s willingness to test the boundaries of his eventual academic discipline, the physics of the universe, seemed foreshadowed even at an early age by his penchant for questioning authority.

Born in 1936 to a Hangzhou postal clerk and his wife, Fang entered the prestigious Beijing University as a youth and excelled in physics. According to a 1988 article in The Atlantic Monthly, he quickly flouted official norms, taking over a founding meeting of the university’s Communist Youth League and urging students

After leaving China, Fang Lizhi became a physics professor at the University of Arizona in Tucson, Ariz. Fang, whose speeches inspired student protesters in China throughout the 1980s, died Friday at 76.

to think independently instead of accepting party dogma on proper academic behavior.

He joined China’s Institute of Modern Physics after graduating in 1956, only to be expelled from the Communist Party a year later during Mao Zedong’s Anti-Rightist Campaign, a movement against intellectuals and others who were seen to have strayed from Communist principles.

His offense was writing an essay criticizing political interference in scientific research.

Fang was considered too valuable to allow party censure to affect his work, and he continued to rise in academia.

But when the Cultural Revolution began in 1966, he was again persecuted, first imprisoned and then sent to rural Anhui province to work with peasants. He carried with him but one book, on astrophysics, and his repeated readings of it led him to change his research focus from fundamental physics to cosmology.

Like most of the persecuted, Fang was rehabilitated after Mao’s death in 1976, and in Deng’s more open China he traveled to conferences abroad, earning a worldwide scientific reputation. But his exposure to foreign political concepts sharpened his doubts about the Communist system, and he began to write and lecture on its shortcomings.

Fang consistently reserved his sharpest criticism for his homeland.

“Human rights are fundamental privileges that people have from birth, such as the right to think and be educated, the right to marry, and so on.

But we Chinese consider those rights dangerous,” he said 26 years ago in a speech to students at Tongzhi University in Shanghai.

“If we are the democratic country we say we are, these rights should be stronger here than elsewhere. But at present they are nothing more than an abstract idea.”

Marian Louise Scott Mack October 29, 1936 – March 23, 2012 Marian Louise Scott Mack died peacefully on March 23, 2012. Marian was born in Portland, OR, on October 29, 1936, to Walter and Grace Kelley Scott. She attended high school at St. Mary’s Academy and graduated with a degree in general science from the University of Portland. After a year of post graduate training, Marian worked as a medical technologist in hospital laboratories for several years.

Marian met her husband, James Loren Mack, a fellow science student, at the University of Portland, and they were married in August 1959. Jim and Marian were married for 51 years, until Jim’s death in 2010. They moved to St. Louis, MO, Youngstown, OH, and Abilene, TX, before returning to Portland in 1963.

Jim and Marian had five children, and as her family grew, Marian became a stay at home wife and mother. When time permitted, she enjoyed painting, ceramics, furniture restoration and needlework.

Marian was also a talented seamstress and made many of her children’s clothes, with matching outfits for their dolls and Barbies. She was active in Camp Fire and a variety of efforts that supported her children’s school and extracurricular activities. As a lover of books and libraries, Marian volunteered for many years at the Holiday Park Hospital and Whitford Junior High School libraries. After her children were grown, she spent ten years as a volunteer with the Oregon Historical Society.

Marian and Jim retired in 1997 to their vacation home at Black Butte Ranch, and each winter found them on their annual RV trip to a variety of parks and casinos.

Marian is survived by her children: Kathy Cooney, Collett Schleiss, Derek (Katherine) Mack, and Jennie (Peter) Taschioglou. She is also survived by seven grandchildren. She was preceded in death by her husband; her daughter, Carey; and her brother, George J. Scott.

A private inurnment will be held at Willamette National Cemetery Columbarium in Portland. A memorial gathering will be from 2:00 pm to 4:00 pm on Sunday, April 29, 2012, at the Multnomah Athletic Club, 1849 SW Salmon St., Portland.

Remembrances may be made to the Dr. James L. and Marian Scott Mack Memorial Endowed Scholarship Fund at the University of Portland.

NORTHWEST NEWS

Washington legislator allowed to rejoin Republican caucus

By William Yardley New York Times News Service

SEATTLE — State Sen. Pam Roach has a volatile temper and a vital vote.

Since 1998, the senator from Auburn, a suburb of Seattle, has been warned and reprimanded frequently by her fellow Republicans for abusive behavior toward staff members and other senators. She described one Senate employee as “bipolar.� She once tried to lead a group of reporters to confront an employee who had complained about her.

(The employee was one of several who eventually left.) In 2009, she berated the senior Senate counsel, Mike Hoover, who had led an investigation of her conduct in 2003.

An anonymous staff member told Senate investigators in 2009: “It’s venom, the feeling that comes when she walks into the room.

Like she smells blood.�

In 2010, 20 years after Roach was first elected, Republicans removed her from their caucus. “It would be best to physically separate you from the caucus staff and from other Republican senators while we are working on the floor,� caucus leaders wrote to her that year.

The bipartisan Senate Facilities and Operations Committee also weighed in, prohibiting her from having contact with certain staff members, including Hoover.

Then came the budget coup of 2012.

On the afternoon of March 2, a Friday, a coalition formed by three Democrats and all 22 Repub-

lican senators, who usually make up the minority party, pulled a procedural move that allowed them to take control of the budget process with a one-vote majority.

One month later, with the coalition still clinging together, the Legislature is in special session, in a virtual stalemate over the budget.

And Roach is back in the Republican caucus.

On Feb. 29, as the coalition worked to secure support in the days before its procedural move, Republican leaders sent Roach a letter announcing that she had been reinstated “as a full and voting member, with access to the caucus room.�

But the leaders (whom Roach had previously accused of “persecuting� her) included a qualifier: “Please note that the protocol for staff contact remains unchanged.�

Two days later, the same leaders sent a hand-delivered one-sentence letter to Roach saying the caucus had “voted to remove all caucus sanctions against Senator Roach.�

That afternoon, with its one-vote majority secure, the coalition pulled its surprise procedural move to take over the budget.

This week, a lawyer for Hoover, whose conduct in the disputes with Roach had been defended several times over the years by staff colleagues and other senators, responded by sending a letter to the secretary of the Senate saying that removing the restrictions on Roach violated Senate rules.

The lawyer, Daniel Johnson, said his client was seeking a $1.75 million settlement agreement, in part because of an array of medical problems that he said were linked to dealing

with Roach for a decade.

After he learned that the restrictions had been lifted the day of the budget vote, according to the letter from Johnson, Hoover “believed he might be having a heart attack, and he sent an email to his wife telling her that he loved her and their sons because he wanted them to have a time/date-stamped message that his last thoughts were of them in case he died.�

Neither Hoover nor Johnson would comment. Republican leaders did not respond to requests for comment. (One recently underwent surgery.)

The Seattle Times reported this week that Roach said in an interview that her vote on the budget issue played a role in her being allowed to return to the caucus. “I had some things I wanted to have,� Roach told the paper. “And that occurred.�

But in an interview Friday, Roach, who has defiantly denied accusations against her and boasted to constituents that she is unafraid to break with party leaders, said there was no connection between her vote and her return to the caucus. “I think the Senate is going to call this guy’s bluff,� Roach said, referring to Hoover. She said caucus members voted her back in “because they wanted me back in.� “Some thought it was the fair thing to do,� Roach said. “Some thought it was a matter of equity. I have been treated pretty harshly.�

Sen. Don Benton, a Republican and one of her allies in the Senate, noted that Roach had been repeatedly re-elected with ease. He said the pressure on state lawmakers was intense and unique.

Ongoing repairs to the Interstate 5 Bridge will close the southbound span briefly this morning, before at least one more all-night closure later in the week.

Crews are working to fix two of the rollers that help guide the span’s massive counterweights up and down during a bridge lift, according to the Oregon Department of Transportation. The problem — the two rollers were coming loose from their track — surfaced during an inspection last month.

ODOT closed the bridge overnight last week to begin replacing them, but workers weren’t able to get all the old parts removed in time for the Friday-morning rush hour. “The priority for that day was just to get the bridge open on time,� ODOT spokeswoman Kimberly Dinwiddie said.

Today’s southbound closure will last from about 7 to 7:30 a.m., according to ODOT. Planners picked today because traffic is expected to be light on the Easter holiday morning, Dinwiddie said. The date for next week’s all-night closure has not been set yet.

ODOT hopes that’s enough to finish the $50,000 job and install the rollers, even if it’s taken longer than expected.

The bridge crosses the Columbia River and connects Portland with Vancouver, Wash.

The northbound side of the I-5 bridge will remain open.

Red Cross Continued from B1 The organization not only needs more room for donors, but also for blood processing and storage.

The new Southwest Bond Street location has about 1,000 more square feet than the current facility.

Tom Farley, the executive director of the local chapter of the Red Cross, believes the Old Mill location will attract more interest from the community, as the office will have higher visibility. The organization plans to place a large sign along Southwest Bond Street once the move is complete. “I think one of the rea-

sons the Old Mill is working so well commercially is because of its centrality in the community,� Farley said. “We’re hoping the office will be more user-friendly in that area, and that people will be able to access it better.�

Another issue that factored in the decision to move is the limited amount of parking at the Twin Knolls Road office.

Red Cross staff often have to park on the street so that patrons can park in the few spaces available.

Donors will still be able to give blood at the east-side location through April 27.

A grand opening of the Old Mill site will be held May 11 from 4 to 8 p.m.

Frank Strickler, 92: Longtime Washington lawyer who defended two of President Richard M. Nixon’s top aides, H.R. Haldeman and John Ehrlichman, during the Watergate trials of the 1970s. Strickler, a onetime federal prosecutor, joined one of his law partners, John Wilson, in defending two of the highest-ranking figures in the Watergate scandal. Died March 29 in Chevy Chase, Md., of heart disease.

Willis “Stanley� Klann (Stan) died at his home in Prineville on the evening of March 31st, 2012. He was 70 years old.

Stan was born to Veleria Angie Forman Klann and Willis Connet Klann on May 13, 1941 at the George Cornett house at 330 W. 1st Street in Prineville. He was the youngest of seven children. He and his family later moved to Madras where Stan attended and graduated from Madras High School in 1959.

Dennis “Denny� Lee Allen, a Prineville resident passed away on Sunday, April 1, 2012 at his home. He was 71 years of age.

A Memorial Brunch will be held at Denny’s home for all family and friends on Saturday, April 21, 2012, from 11:00 a.m. to 2:00 p.m.

Denny was born in Washington, Iowa on July 31, 1940 to Horace Malcolm and Catherine Lucille (Gallagher) Allen. He attended and graduated from San Rafael High School in 1958. He enlisted in the Navy and served on board the U.S.S. Midway. After serving in the military Denny went to work with his father at their family automotive business. In the early 60’s Denny started his own General Contracting business in Novato, California. Where, in 1962 he married his wife of 49 years; Terry Ann Brownlee on April 28.

They moved to Central Oregon in 1978 and Denny went to work for Brian’s Cabinets of Bend for many years as their foreman. In 2005 he retired and they moved to Prineville. Denny was a member of the Meadow Lakes Men’s Club, an avid golfer who loved to golf all year long. He enjoyed the outdoors, especially fishing, camping, family barbeques and the music of Jimmy Buffet. Denny’s biggest joy was spending time with his wife, children and their families. His family and friends remember him as a man of integrity, strength, and incredible work ethics. Denny was a kindhearted, loving and patient man, and will be immensely missed by his wife, children, family and friends.

He is survived by his wife, Terry Ann Allen of Prineville; sons, Michael Allen and his wife, Gabrielle of Denver, Colorado, John Allen and his wife, Krista of Klamath Falls, Oregon.

Daughters, Julie Allen of Bend, Oregon, Melissa (Allen) Curry and her husband, Donovan of Pocatello, Idaho, and former son-in-law Don Barbour. Seven grandchildren, Emily Allen, Elisa Allen, Jessica Steimer, Austin Parker, Fisher Curry, Sean Allen and Leslie Allen. Two greatgrandsons, Easton Steimer and Madden Steimer. Denny was preceded in death by his parents, Horace and Catherine Allen.

In lieu of flowers the family would greatly appreciate memorial contributions in Denny’s name to Pioneer Memorial Hospice at 1201 Ne Elm St., Prineville, Oregon 97754, the American Cancer Society at 2350 Oakmount Way, Suite 200, Eugene, Oregon 97401 or the charity of your choice.

The family would like to thank Dr. Braich and Dr. Pinnick, their nurses and the wonderful staff at BMC that contributed so much to Denny’s care.

After graduation, Stan spent four years in the Air Force while stationed at Riverside, California, serving as a refrigeration technician. After his Air Force service, Stan attended Central Oregon Community College and received an Associates degree in forestry. He worked for the United States Forest Service as a forestry technician.

In 1968, Stan met Edna Alicia Dent at a New Year’s Eve party and they were married on August 9th of that year in Redmond, Oregon. Stan and Edna made their first home at Bear Springs Ranger Station near Mount Hood. Their daughter, Kalleen Rene, was born to them while they lived there in 1973.

In 1976, the family moved to Prineville for a job transfer with the Forest Service. They bought six and a half acres of bare pasture land on the east side of Prineville. Later that year, their son, Eric August was born. In 1979, Michael Brian was born, thus completing their family of five.

Stan was a carpenter, mechanic and farmer and was always busy building something or working on something. On what was once a barren field, Stan built a garage, large barn and in 1989 he finished the family’s large traditional style farm house. It was always his goal to provide for his family, which he did well.

In 2000, Stan retired from the Forest Service after 32 years of service. In his retirement he enjoyed hunting, camping, hiking, building things, and working around the family farm. He also enjoyed spending time with his family and five grandchildren. Stan’s grandchildren are 8th generation Oregonians. His great-great-great grandfather was John Turley Crooks of Millersburg, Oregon. Stan’s great-great grandfather was Aaron Harlan Crooks, one of the first white settlers in Central Oregon.

Crooks moved to the north slopes of Grizzly Mountain in 1870.

Stan is survived by his wife of 43 years, Edna Klann; his sister Wilda and her husband, Ronald Bryant of Redmond; his sister, Evelyn Menges, of LaGrande; his daughter, Kalleen and her husband, Martin Stoddard of Corvallis and their three children, Amelia, Andy and Adam; his son, Eric Klann and his wife Sarah and their two children, Eleanor and Emmett of Redmond; and his son, Michael Klann.

A memorial service will be held at the family home on Saturday, July 14th, 2012. Stan’s ashes are planned to be scattered in the Ochoco National Forest at his request, upon the ultra top secret “Elk Slayer Ridge�. We love you, Dad and we miss you very much. Thank you for all that you have done for us. We look forward to hiking with you again someday in Paradise.

He was preceded in death by his parents, and 3 siblings.

WATERFOWL REFUGE

Drought exacerbates cholera

Continued from B1 In testing the pilot project, the BPA is trying to avoid the pickle it found itself in last year. Heavy rains in the spring and early summer pushed up water levels along the Columbia River and its tributaries.

Channeling the water through spillways at dams along the river creates conditions harmful to salmon and other fish, so the BPA opted to run more water through the power-producing turbines.

TULELAKE, Calif. — Dave Mauser walked the edge of a mudflat, peering underneath the dried brown rushes where one coot after another had gone to hide and then die.

“Now the coots are getting the worst of it,” said Mauser, head biologist on the Lower Klamath National Wildlife Refuge, the nation’s first large marshland preserved for waterfowl habitat. “Prior to that it was the snow geese and the white-fronted geese.”

Standing in line for scarce water behind both endangered fish and agriculture, Lower Klamath Lake has watched one marsh after another dry up in recent years. Now migratory geese, ducks and other waterfowl that come here by the millions, following the Pacific Flyway, are so closely packed together that an outbreak of avian cholera has killed more than 10,000 birds, mostly pintail ducks, Ross’ geese, snow geese and now coots.

First reported in the United States in the 1940s, the disease is not new to the refuge. Bald eagles that congregate here in winter depend on the deadly bacteria to provide them easy food. But what is different about this year is that only half the refuge’s 31,000 acres of marsh are flooded, creating perfect conditions for a broader kill-off.

Lying on the east side of the Cascade Range along the Oregon-California border, the shallow lakes and marshes of the Upper Klamath Basin were once known as the Everglades of the West, providing a place to rest and eat for untold millions of birds on the Pacific Flyway.

More than 260 species — ruddy ducks, cinnamon teal, whitefaced ibis, sandhill cranes, white pelicans, snowy egrets and bald eagles — pass through in the spring. Some stay the summer to breed, but most fly north to nest in the Arctic, returning here in the fall. Some spend the winter, and others continue south to California’s Central Valley and the Salton Sea. The historic refuge got its origins after wildlife photographer William Finley wrote a story for Atlantic Monthly about market hunters wiping out white egrets

Sandhill cranes feed on the Lower Klamath National Wildlife Refuge near Tulelake, Calif. The refuge is a major stop for migrating waterfowl on the Pacific Flyway, drawing some 2 million birds.

and grebes here for feathers to decorate ladies’ hats.

President Theodore Roosevelt, an avid bird hunter and amateur taxidermist in his youth, signed the executive order creating Lower Klamath in 1908. It was the second of 55 refuges he would create, but the first to offer a large area of land for habitat.

In the 1950s the refuge would see 5 million to 7 million birds annually. Now numbers have dropped to about 2 million, primarily due to the loss of nesting habitat in the far north.

But it still “may be the most important real estate for migratory birds in North America,” said refuge manager Ron Cole.

Water woes The problem is that it is at the end of a long line for water, legally and literally. When it comes to water in the West, first in time is first in right.

Three years earlier, in 1905, Congress created the Klamath Reclamation Project, which created a vast complex of pumps and canals that drained lakes and marshes and fed water to farmlands. The refuge started receiving water from the project in the 1940s, when a tunnel was cut to pump excess water out of Tule Lake, the end of the line for the water running through the irrigation project.

Tule Lake remained the primary source of the refuge’s water until 2006, when farmers lost a subsidized electric rate that made it cheap to pump water. Now most of the water for the refuge comes from the Klamath River, through the Ady Canal.

No matter the source, the refuge does not get water until the fish and the farms are satisfied. The last full delivery was in 2006.

“It worked well for decades,” said Cole, until more water had to be allocated to the river for endangered salmon, and to Upper Klamath Lake for endangered suckers.

Now it is the refuge that suffers from drought.

Small piles of white feathers and bones covered with dried red flesh dot the matted rushes and mudflats, all that is left after bald eagles and other predators fed on the goose carcasses. Some of the coots with their black heads and round slate-gray bodies were sprawled in the mud, unable to reach the shelter of the rushes before lying down to die.

Research indicates the disease spreads bird-to-bird, and outbreaks occur in cold months when birds are packed close together. Volunteers in airboats have picked up 3,500 dead birds and brought them to the incinerator to limit the spread of the bacteria. But with so many of the birds managing to hide before they die, most will never be found. About half the infected birds survive to spread the bacteria. Birds can die so quickly they fall out of the sky.

Record rains in March allowed the U.S. Bureau of Reclamation to start delivering all the water the refuge could take through the Ady Canal, but that will only be enough to flood 4,000 acres more before it runs out, said Cole. Prospects for this summer are not looking good.

Faced with a glut of power from its dams, the BPA ordered wind projects along the Gorge to shut down. The decision prevented wind projects from producing power for about two months and prompted complaints by wind power companies to federal energy managers. The BPA earlier this year proposed a plan to compensate wind power producers for reducing their output. Now it’s also trying the pilot pumping project.

trict has been trying to recharge its aquifer, which is down about 40 to 50 feet from where it was 50 years ago, Wyatt said. The district supplies farmers who grow sugar beets, potatoes, grains and other crops on 95,000 acres.

Using BPA’s excess power to recharge the aquifer could solve the BPA’s and the district’s problems, Wyatt said.

“If they don’t have a use for it, it is just wasted.”

A new community park is springing up around the sign that welcomes drivers to Boring, on state Highway 212 southeast of Portland. Named for Civil War veteran William H. Boring, this quiet town has fought a name-identity battle since it was founded in 1903; civic promoters have suggested the slogan, “Boring: An Exciting Place to Call Home.”

Madras mural raises money for 2 groups A large and colorful mural displaying about 100 hand-painted fish will be unveiled at the Madras Aquatic Center (MAC) right before the summer season.

For now, the approximately 26-foot-long mural is serving as a fundraiser.

Central Oregon Artists for Hope, a group of community artists and Madras High School art students, worked on the mural to help benefit the MAC and Court Appointed Special Advocates (CASA).

CASA is an organization dedicated to represent the best interests of abused and neglected children in court.

The groups involved are soliciting sponsorship for each handpainted fish.

A replica of a fish will be given upon a minimum donation of $35. Those who donate will also be entered in a raffle for a chance to win $500.

All proceeds will benefit the aquatic center and CASA. Donations also can be made the MAC’s front desk.

For more information, contact Anita Goodwin at anitagoodwin@gmail .com, or call the MAC at 541-475-4253.

About 300 people live in Bliss, Idaho, a Snake River Gorge community west of Twin Falls. Founded by David Bliss in 1881, its charms attract many writers and artists — among them architect Frank Lloyd Wright, who designed Teater’s Knoll, a home and art studio overlooking the river, in 1952. It is now on the National Register of Historic Places.

Much of the information in this story, by the way, comes from the book “Oregon Geographic Names,” published by the Oregon Historical Society Press, and from the website HistoryLink.org, an online encyclopedia of Washington state history.

When astronauts John Young and Charles Duke landed on the moon’s surface as part of the Apollo 16 mission 40 years ago, they transmitted video footage from their trips exploring the lunar highlands region back to Earth using Jerry Russell’s steerable S-band antenna.

Russell’s antenna was used on every Apollo mission that touched down on the moon — including the one where Neil Armstrong took mankind’s first steps on its surface.

“There weren’t any missions flown without it,” said Russell, an 83-yearold aerospace and telecommunications engineer who moved to Bend when he retired in 1992. “They didn’t have any other communication systems between the Earth and the moon.”

History of flight When he was in high school, Russell spent his summers working at a carpet factory that had been re-engineered during World War II to make large canvas banners bearing a Red Cross that marked where the American forces set up their field hospitals so the facilities would not be bombed.

He also taught himself how to fly during this time and in 1946 joined the Army Air Corps — a predecessor to the U.S. Air Force — where he spent three years at its Alaskan Air Command. He then studied aeronautical engineering at the Northrop Institute of Technology in California and spent three years designing various light aircraft and helicopter parts.

After this string of companies, Russell worked for North American Aviation, where he helped design preflight checkout systems and sensors for the X-15, a rocket-powered aircraft that reached the outer edges of space in the early 1960s and continues to be the world’s fastest winged aircraft.

He then took a job working with Dalmo-Victor company in 1961 and helped its engineers design radar antennas that were used on planes and submarines to detect and track enemy nuclear missile attacks.

USSR Cosmonaut Yuri Gagarin became the first person to orbit the Earth that same year.

Odd names in Oregon

John Gottberg Anderson / For The Bulletin

From the summit of Steptoe Butte in southeastern Washington’s Palouse Hills, a variety of small farming communities may be discerned among the furrowed fields. Among them is Dusty, population 12; it’s the hometown of Wylie Gustafson, leader of an internationally popular country-music group called Wylie & the Wild West.

I recall that when my late father, who worked in corporate sales, traveled on business around Oregon in the 1960s, he’d occasionally send a postcard home from some offthe-beaten-track location. One such place was Remote, both in name and in proximity.

Nestled in the heart of the Coast Range between Roseburg and Coquille, Remote’s post office was established in 1887.

Jerry Russell holds up a model of a lunar module used as part of the Apollo space program. It comes complete with the antenna he developed while working as an engineer on the program more than 40 years ago.

SUNDAY, APRIL 8, 2012 • THE BULLETIN

A & A

Veteran can’t find words to acknowledge public thanks Dear Abby: My husband served in Vietnam and proudly wears a Vietnam veteran insignia on his jacket or cap everywhere he goes. People approach him all the time and thank him for his service, which is wonderful. The big question is, how should he respond? He isn’t quite sure what to say back to them — “You’re welcome�? “It was my honor to serve�? “Thank you for caring�?

I’m not sure of the right response, either. So I told my husband I’d ask you. What’s the proper thing to say when someone is kind enough to take a minute and say thanks? — Vet’s Wife in Phoenix Dear Vet’s Wife: I’m sure being thanked for his service in Vietnam is music to your husband’s ears. When members of the military returned from Vietnam, many of them were treated with hostility. A proper response when someone thanks him for his service would be any of those you offered, or a simple, “Thanks for saying that. I appreciate it.�

Dear Abby: My husband and I have dear friends who live in another country. They also have a vacation home in a very nice part of the U.S. They have often invited us to use their vacation place while they’re away, since it stands empty 11 months of the year.

I have hesitated in the past because I know we would use utilities and it would be of some expense to them. They are insistent that they will not let us pay for the use.

We would love to spend some time there. Is there anything we could do to show our appreciation without paying them? — Appreciative, But ...

Dear Appreciative: Yes. After spending time in their vacation home, write a letter thanking them and describing the experience. Consider sending them an album of photographs you took during your vacation

DEAR ABBY there, or buy a gift for their vacation home. That way you will have repaid them without “paying� them.

Dear Abby: My little sister is almost 12. She has been having a lot of behavior problems.

I thought it was the stupid videos she watches that made her act like that, but she’s getting worse.

One night, her mood was terrible and I noticed she was texting. So while she slept I took her cellphone and started reading the messages. Her texts were about her being a skank, drunk, sexually active, depressed, cutting herself and moving away soon. No one in the family knows or would ever allow this.

I feel the right thing to do is to tell our parents, but I don’t want to make the situation worse. Her behavior and attitude stress us out, and her “friends� are the wrong crowd for her. I know it was bad for me to invade her privacy, but something needs to be done.

What can I do? — Sister Who Cares in Texas Dear Caring Sister: Tell your parents what you have learned.

Your sister’s behavior problems and angry or depressed mood must have been noticed by them as well as you. Ask them not to reveal that you looked at the messages, but to insist on some answers from her until they get to the bottom of what’s happening.

If even half of what your sister is writing and receiving is true, she is headed for serious trouble and is overdue for an intervention.

To My Christian Readers: Happy Easter, one and all! — Write Dear Abby at www.DearAbby.com or P.O. Box 69440, Los Angeles, CA 90069.

MONDAY

Horoscope: Happy Birthday for Sunday, April 8, 2012

By Jacqueline Bigar This year you enjoy relating closely to an individual at work or in your personal life. When events do not permit this closeness, you will find situations and people to be superficial. If you are single, you alternate between close encounters and alienation. Don’t worry; you will stabilize. If you are attached, the two of you love being close. You also enjoy mini-vacations together.

SCORPIO wants it his or her way.

The Stars Show the Kind of Day You’ll Have: 5-Dynamic; 4-Positive; 3-Average; 2-So-so; 1-Difficult ARIES (March 21-April 19) HHHH Realign your thinking, and agreement between you and another person becomes possible.

Do not underestimate your competitiveness. Sometimes others have difficulty dealing with this trait.

Know when not to vie for first place.

Tonight: Out for dinner.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) HHHH You are strong-willed, like a Bull. Others might figuratively put their hands on their hips as they try to get away from this mindset. See the humor in this situation, and flex.

You and everyone else will have a better time as a result. Tonight: Go along for the ride.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) HHHH You see a power play, the manipulation and the end results.

Your judgment might be a bit strong.

At the present point, say little, but feel free to derail the games that others seem to be playing. Tonight: Think “now,� not “tomorrow.�

CANCER (June 21-July 22) HHHHH You cannot explain your fondness for life. You seem almost childlike, as you look at a flower, a loved one or whatever is in front of you. Many people admire this ability to look at an object or person as if it were the first time. Tonight: Teach a loved one about this same newness.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) HHH Stay settled, and do not get into the fray. Be direct with a friend you see every day. He or she may want this feedback. Once you clear up this matter, you’ll note a new levity between the two of you. Enjoy this change. Tonight: Home will be your palace.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) HHHH You might not want to

admit that how you phrase a wish could determine whether it will be granted. Others might be into their control games. Go off and find someone who is not dependent on the need to have power. Tonight: Go to a favorite spot.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) HHH Be aware of the costs of heading in a certain direction. You could find a family member vested in doing his or her thing. Try to help this person lighten up. Go off together and create what you both determine to be a good time.

Tonight: Indulge a little.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) HHHHH You work well with someone’s challenges. You are not threatened by this person. You’ll find that communication is flowing.

Others let you know how much they appreciate you. Tonight: Your personality reveals many options.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) HHH Take time just for you, especially if you haven’t recently. A close friend wants you to join him or her. Be flattered by this person’s manipulation, and say “yes.� Taking a much-needed break is important in order to function at the level you want. Tonight: Visit on the phone or over dinner with a special person.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) HHHHH If you opt to go to a ballgame, you can run, cheer and boo. Either way, you’ll let go of a lot of tension. Choose a stress-buster that allows you to hang with favorite friends or loved ones. Tonight: Fun follows you.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) HHH While others gleefully get into their Sunday, you’ll go off to handle a responsibility. The real question is: Can you infuse some lightness and humor into this situation? Share this predicament with someone who helps you laugh. Tonight: Think about taking tomorrow off.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) HHHHH Keep reaching out for more information or a different perspective. You might have a very unique style of opening up to a new vision. Some of you might hop in your car for a drive. Others might put on music or go for a walk.

Tonight: Accept an invitation to a different type of place. Š 2011 by King Features Syndicate

THE BULLETIN • SUNDAY, APRIL 8, 2012

Small planes once arrived at the remote Wagontire airport, on U.S. Highway 395 between Burns and Lakeview, and taxied across the road to refill their gas tanks while the pilot relaxed in the cafe and motel, which are now closed. The hamlet got its name from a wagon tire once found in the nearby desert; some say it was all that remained from a wagon train attacked

by Indians.

The resort town of Soap Lake takes its name from the “slick” quality of its waters and the sudsy appearance of natural foam that washes up on its shore. Visitors soak in the mineralrich waters and muds of this Eastern Washington lake, which lies at the southern end of the Grand Coulee that extends north from the Tri-Cities.

Names Contin ued from C1 It’s been closed now for years. The rerouting of state Highway 42 has left the settlement several hundred yards from any major route. Only a couple of old farmhouses and an abandoned shop keep it from being a ghost town.

When pioneer resident John Roberson opened a general store in 1902 halfway between Grants Pass and Cave Junction, some folks wondered how he might get enough business to make a living. Roberson dubbed his shop the “Wonder Store.” Within a year, Wonder had a post office; by the time of World War I, the little community had a railway station and a school that also hosted church services on Sundays.

A few dozen residents remain today.

There’s no riddle as to how Riddle got its name: It was named for the William Riddle family, which built a homestead on Cow Creek in 1851. A rich deposit of nickel was discovered nearby in 1865, and this mine operated continually until 1987. The population of this small town, 20 miles south of Roseburg, has stayed just over 1,100 since then.

Drain, located about halfway between Eugene and Roseburg, is of similar size and origin. Named for Charles Drain, who founded the town as a railhead in 1871, Drain has built its economy around the wood-products industry.

Pass Creek Covered Bridge, now preserved within a city park, flanks an Umpqua River tributary. At flood times, townspeople have sometimes wished they could pull the plug on the stream in order to drain Drain.

The word “nimrod” has two meanings. Traditionally, a nimrod was a mighty hunter.

In more contemporary usage, a “nimrod” is a foolish or slowwitted person. Odds are that the founders of Nimrod, a village on the McKenzie River 35 miles east of Eugene, had the former definition in mind.

Only about 200 people live in Nimrod, which was established at the start of the 1900s; it’s a popular center for fishing. And the community of Rainbow, just up state Highway 126, takes its name from the rainbow trout that thrive in McKenzie waters.

Home Sweet Home Names like Sweet Home, Sublimity and Bliss may sound as manufactured as some modern homes, but they’ve all carried those monikers for over a century.

Sweet Home, a half hour’s drive southeast of Albany on U.S. Highway 20, was named in 1893 when Buckhead and Mossville merged. Located on the original Santiam Wagon Road that connected the Willamette Valley with Camp

Polk (now Sisters), it is a logging and hydroelectric center of about 9,000 people.

The state’s most highly acclaimed country-music festival, the Oregon Jamboree, is held in Sweet Home in early August. More than 13,000 music lovers camp on the concert grounds, beside the Weddle Covered Bridge, to see such performers as Kenny Chesney, Faith Hill, Brad Paisley and Carrie Underwood.

Sublimity, whose 2,500 citizens live 20 miles east of Salem, dates its heritage to 1887, when the first Roman Catholic parish was established.

Two years later, St. Boniface Church was completed. The steeple of this historic woodframe building rises 110 feet above the surrounding fields.

By contrast, the name of Happy Valley might be indeed be ascribed to overzealous developers. Incorporated only in 1965, the southeast Portland bedroom suburb now has a population of about 15,000, and climbing fast.

If you want to visit a place where you’ll feel welcome, you might travel to Welcome, Wash., near the Canadian border northeast of Bellingham, or to Cozy Nook or Opportunity, also in Washington.

But if you’re in search of never-ending joy, head for Bliss, Idaho, a village of about 300 people beside the Snake River Gorge west of Twin Falls. A railroad town founded in 1881

by David Bliss, this High Desert location has brought bliss to many visitors and residents.

Even famed architect Frank Lloyd Wright was smitten by its charms; in 1952, he designed a home and art studio overlooking the Snake. Teater’s Knoll — after artist Archie Teater, who commissioned the work — is now on the National Register of Historic Places.

The Zigzag Mountain Store is one of a handful of prominent buildings in tiny Zigzag, on the Zigzag River west of Mount Hood. In 1845, a pioneer traveler wrote this about his travails: “The manner of descending is to turn directly to the right, go zigzag for about 100 yards, then turn short round, and go zigzag until you come under the place where you started from.”

The Pass Creek Bridge, which crosses an Umpqua River tributary in the small town of Drain, is preserved within a city park. Some people chuckle about the name of this community, located halfway between Eugene and Roseburg, but it was named in 1871 for Charles Drain, who founded the town as a key rail junction.

ter gold was discovered. “It is said its gold ore was so rich, nuggets would literally fall out of the rock,” claims the website Ghosttowns.com. Aerial tramways climbed the steep terrain; miles of underground shafts honeycombed off deep canyons. Many original buildings remain standing today.

Likewise, no one presently lives in Wagontire, on U.S. Highway 395 between Burns and Lakeview. The store and cafe, motel and gas station are waiting for a buyer. At one time, small planes arriving at the overgrown airstrip could taxi across the highway to fill their gas tanks while the pilot and passengers filled up their own tanks in the cafe. The name came from a wagon tire once found in the nearby desert; misty-eyed romantics may suggest it came from a wagon train attacked by Indians, but no one really knows.

Nonpareil, eight miles east of Sutherlin, shared its name — French for “unparalleled” or “without equal” — with a mercury mine that operated from the late 1860s until 1932. At its height, the town had a school and a dance hall; 20 years ago it still had a store and gas station. Now those are gone, too, and a couple of hundred scattered residents are hoping they won’t be severely impacted by the dregs of arsenic that was used in the mining process,

and now has filtered into their landscape. The state Department of Environmental Quality is on top of it.

One of my favorite Oregon town names is Zigzag, on U.S. Highway 26 west of Mount Hood. In 1845, a pioneer traveler described his journey down a Sandy River tributary in these words: “The manner of descending is to turn directly to the right, go zigzag for about 100 yards, then turn short round, and go zigzag until you come under the place where you started from; then to the right, and so on, until you reach the base.” The name stuck.

No one seems to have determined the level of talent in Talent, in Southern Oregon between Medford and Ashland. Keno, southwest of Klamath Falls, was named by its first postmaster for his bird dog, not for a casino game.

And Sixes, near Cape Blanco on the southwestern Oregon Coast, has nothing to do with rolling dice; it is a corruption of a native tribal word.

The name of Mist conjures the frequent atmospheric conditions in the Nehalem Valley northwest of Portland. Burnt Woods, west of Corvallis, was named for the scorched traces of past forest fires when it was established in 1919. And Deadwood, between Florence and Eugene, took its name from

Ghosts of the past Look up the word “greenhorn,” and you’ll see that it refers to a newcomer who is unaware of local ways, or to a naive and gullible person. I guess I’m a greenhorn. I’m willing to believe that the highest incorporated city in Oregon has an official population of zero.

Greenhorn is an old goldmining town at 6,300 feet elevation in the Blue Mountains west of Baker City. First prospected in the 1860s, it was incorporated in 1903 and a network of streets was laid out the following year. It had a steady population until World War II brought an end to gold mining.

Today, there are seven houses that are presumably maintained as vacation homes, as no one lives there permanently.

Another gold-mining boom town was Cornucopia (Roman for “horn of plenty”). Today a rustic lodge draws outdoors lovers into the southern Wallowa Mountains, north of Halfway. But a town was platted here in 1886, two years af-

timber snags on the banks of its namesake creek.

Lookingglass, nine miles west of Roseburg, was named in 1846 by a surveyor who poetically stated that the valley’s green grass reflected light almost as well as a mirror. It must not have been raining.

The Lookingglass Store, built around 1875, is still the hub for a community of 850, which was once a major stop on a stage and freight route between the Umpqua Valley and the Oregon Coast.

Washington ABCs Battle Ground, a town of 18,000 north of Vancouver, Wash., is named for a battle that never was. In 1855, Capt.

William Strong, commander of nearby Fort Vancouver, attempted to round up the friendly Klickitat tribe to appease area settlers, who were nervous they would join an

uprising by the Yakama tribe.

Strong talked them into returning to the fort peacefully.

The field where the captain parleyed with the Klickitats became known as Strong’s Battle Ground; it was first settled in 1886.

While both Oregon and Washington have a Beaver — both of them along the coast on U.S. Highway 101 — the Washington village has a bigger claim to fame. Its average annual rainfall is one of the highest in the country at 121 inches.

Concrete, east of Mount Vernon, got its name in 1908 when two cement companies on opposite sides of the Skagit River merged into a single town. Apart from numerous historic churches and other buildings, this town of 700 is known as the setting for author Tobias Wolff’s “This Boy’s Life,” a novel that was made into a 1993 feature film starring Leonardo DiCaprio and Robert De Niro.

Southeastern Washington’s Palouse Hills have plenty of great names, like Hay and Steptoe. My favorite is Dusty, population 12. Yet it’s the hometown of Wylie Gustafson, leader of the internationally popular musical group Wylie & the Wild West, which has just returned from a tour of Russia. The group has performed everywhere from the Kennedy Center to the Grand Ole Opry.

In New Zealand: a man, a van, a plan

By Seth Kugel

Renting a room on wheels

New York Times News Service

Early on a chilly March morning, my iPhone alarm clock sounded. I extracted myself from deep within a navy blue comforter, sat up and opened the door. I had momentarily forgotten where I was.

Oh, right. I gazed out at Lake Taupo, a sprawling lake on New Zealand’s North Island. Ducks gliding along just offshore were an invigorating sight. So were the mountains that rose behind them, and the predawn periwinkle and orange sky beyond.

It was my third night in a camper van, a miniaturized recreational vehicle — mine was about the size of a plumber’s van — that is New Zealand’s mobile lodging of choice.

I stripped the bedsheets, rearranged the cushions, flipped around a few boards, and voila: two comfy benches and one breakfast table. Out came the Weet-Bix cereal from the cupboard. I threw some boerewors sausage and scrambled eggs on the stove. After doing the dishes in the sink, I was off to my next destination.

A way of life Camper-vanning is a way of life, or at least a way of leisure, in New Zealand, a beautiful country that begs to be hiked and climbed and camped in.

And so it perfectly pairs with the camper van, which gets you about as close to the outdoors as you can be, short of a tent. And unlike the RV, which Americans tend to regard as the gas-guzzling trademark of peripatetic retirees, camper vans are everywhere, used

by Kiwis of all stripes. One person I talked to even called them “trendy.”

Mine wasn’t trendy. I had rented the cheapest one I could find: a boxy 2006 Volkswagen leased by Backpacker (backpackercampervans.org) for 64 New Zealand dollars a

From previous page Iconically named George, Wash. — does anyone ever just call it “George”? — is a relatively new town, incorporated in 1957. Because the commercial centers of Quincy and Moses Lake were both a long drive for farmers, the Bureau of Land Management offered 339 acres to build a town to support the economy. The only bid was submitted by pharmacist Charlie Brown. He invested his own money to build the town, which he named to honor the first American president. George is well-known for its nearby Gorge Amphitheater, sometimes called “the Gorge at George.”

Grand Mound, south of Olympia, was founded and named in 1851 for the intriguing, domelike mounds of the adjacent Mima Prairie. These strange natural features are as much as 6 feet high and 150 feet across.

When Dorothy told the Wizard of Oz, “There’s no place like home,” she didn’t have Home, Wash., in mind.

Although this town on Puget Sound’s Key Peninsula, near Tacoma, is now mainly a community of beach houses, at the beginning of the 20th century it was a model utopian community of anarchists. Established in 1896, the Mutual Home Association apportioned land to members who agreed to its an-

Camper vans are everywhere in New Zealand. Why so popular?

• They are smaller, cooler and more fuel-efficient than your grandparents’ RV. • They save you money on hotels (and time booking them).

• They allow you to cook your own meals, saving money and allowing you to take advantage of local produce and meats.

• They are surprisingly comfortable to sleep in.

They’re also catching on in the western United States. Jucy, a New Zealand company, began operating in Los Angeles, San Francisco and Las Vegas on March 1 (jucyrentals.com; from $63 a night, minimum five-night rental). Other companies include Lost Campers (lostcampersusa .com) and Escape (escapecampervans.com), which offers hand-painted vans.

day ($52 at 1.22 New Zealand dollars to the U.S. dollar), tax and fees and a basic insurance policy included. Though I felt pangs of jealousy for the super-cool pricier rentals, which offer a slicker look and jazzy colors, the Backpacker was perfect for my purposes.

It was also a big money saver. The only catch is gas mileage — gas is about 8.50 New Zealand dollars a gallon, and my Backpacker camper van got me about 17 miles per gallon. But you save pretty much everywhere else. Most obviously: no hotel rooms needed.

Camper vanners have a choice between staying at an inexpensive “holiday park,” which average around 20 dollars per person per night to use with showers, bathrooms, kitchens (unnecessary) and a power source, or braving it on their own by “freedom camping,” the legally sanctioned act of staying on public land.

You also save on food. I

managed quite well over four days with 60 dollars’ worth of groceries, and ate only one meal out. Add stops for flat whites (New Zealand’s answer to the latte), an occasional snack and a cheap bottle of domestic shiraz, and my food and beverage costs over four days and nights came to under 100 Kiwi bucks.

On the road Crossing the Coromandel Peninsula, on the east side of the North Island, along the 309 Road, I stopped at what has become a bit of a tourist attraction — the ramshackle trailer home of Stuart, a dairy farmer who happens to own 48 semiwild pigs. As soon as I pulled up, dozens of them appeared and practically stampeded toward my vehicle. They were friendly and enjoyed a tickle on the tummy, but I suspected they had figured out that camper vans have kitchens. I fed them from my overstock of

archist ideals, and who otherwise were uncomfortable with mainstream society. But when President William McKinley was assassinated by an anarchist in 1901, the community came under severe scrutiny.

It persisted until 1919, when it dissolved.

More quirky names Humptulips, located where the Humptulips River flows out of the Olympic Mountains into Hood Canal, takes its name from a Chehalis Indian word whose meaning isn’t clear. It is safe to say, however, that it is not a base of opera-

tions for an order of assassin monkeys, no matter what idiosyncratic author Tom Robbins may have written in his 1971 novel, “Another Roadside Attraction.”

Index, east of Everett on the North Fork of the Skykomish River, was named after 5,991foot Mount Index, a prominent landmark three miles south of the town. Located near Stevens Pass in the north Cascades, the town of fewer than 200 people is a major climbing destination.

Relief, on the Snake River just east of the Tri-Cities, was named by early settlers who

Weet-Bix. The west side of the peninsula features a winding shore and rocky beaches and old mining towns like Thames and Coromandel; the east side is best known for its beautiful stretches of sand, including Hot Water Beach, where geothermically heated water rises to just below the surface of the sand. That creates an odd phenomenon during low tide: Dozens of adults revert to their sand-castle-building childhood, digging holes with spades to create temporary hot tubs.

My final stop in the Coromandel was Te Whanganui-AHei (Cathedral Cove) Marine Reserve, where well-marked paths wind through the woods to a series of beaches and coves, none so lovely as Cathedral Cove itself, a big halfmoon with hills rising from behind the sand, and a sphinxlike rock at the edge of the water. I had it all to myself.

read the journals of the Lewis and Clark Expedition. Clark had repeatedly complained about mosquitoes, “so noumerous and tormenting as to render it imposseable for a man to continue. … The torments of those Missquetors … induced me to deturmine to proceed on to a more eliagiable Spot on higher ground and we established a suitable camp we named ‘Reliefe.’ ” Smokey Point, whose former boundaries are now incorporated within Arlington and Marysville, got its name from a 1950s restaurant. The Smokey Point Cafe, long since gone, was noted for the plume of smoke produced by its outdoor barbecue.

The resort town of Soap Lake takes its name from the “slick” quality of its waters and the sudsy appearance of natural foam that washes up on its shore. Native tribes soaked here long before white pioneers arrived, but by the start of the 20th century, the mineral-rich waters and muds of the eastern Washington

The Forgotten World But the camper van really shined on the Forgotten World Highway, where I headed after Taupo. I picked up a map of the highway at an i-SITE, New Zealand’s efficient and convenient tourist information and booking centers that range from small cabins to large complexes (I had had a much-needed shower for 5 dollars at the one in Rotorua). I could not help stopping at just about all its suggestions, including the quirky town of Whangamomona, which declared its ersatz independence from New Zealand in 1989 and celebrates every other January with the election of a president. (It’s all quite tonguein-cheek: A goat and a poodle

lake had led to its development as a health resort. It contains 23 diverse elements as well as icthyol, an organic residue effective against infections and abrasions.

Finally, Washington has Vader, just off Interstate 5 south of Chehalis. Whenever I drive near this town of 600, I expect to hear actor James Earl Jones aspirating heavily.

Forgive me: I’m a “Star Wars” fan. But Darth Vader wasn’t around when the community was named for longtime German resident Martin Vader in 1913.

Vader’s original name, when it incorporated in 1906, was the much-more-commonplace Little Falls. But the Northern Pacific Railroad already had a Little Falls on its line in Minnesota, so it

have both served.)

But the best spot was a sixmile detour to Ohura, a little town verging on ghost status — none of the storefronts in the three-block downtown had operating businesses on the Friday morning I visited. Its museum, in what used to be a hardware store, is active — as long as you can track down someone to open it up for you.

A local resident pointed me to Charley Hedges, whose house was up a long driveway right along the main street. What he didn’t tell me is that Charley and his Maori wife, Janet, would invite me into their house first and offer me coffee, biscuits and clever quips about the small-town life they have led since moving to Ohura from the city of Hamilton, the North Island’s third-biggest.

The museum is full of mysterious and intriguing and marvelous stuff culled, Janet said, from local families and businesses, often as they left town or shut down. A 1954 local phone directory hung from a crank-phone obviously several decades older; a collection of old farm machinery included an enormous contraption Charley told me was a chaff cutter, a device for cutting straw. “A big machine for a little job,” he said.

By the time I left, it was midafternoon, so I rushed through the rest of the highway. But I couldn’t help stopping at a stunning view across green hills from a spot called the Tahora Saddle. I pulled the camper van into the small lookout area — a perfect spot for a picnic. I hopped into the back, and whipped up a salad with what ingredients I had left — spinach leaves, avocado, slices of Asian pear and broccoli. I sliced the last hunk of cheddar cheese into slices, broke out the crackers, brought them outside and basked in the sun — and in the glory of my camper van — as I ate.

demanded a change. Today, a sign above the door of the town’s early Masonic hall continues to declare its chapter to be that of “Little Falls.”

Martin Vader himself could not accept the honor of having his name was bestowed upon the town. He quickly packed up, moved to Florida and never returned.

Meanwhile, a century later, the little town of Vader persists. There may not be a lot to do here, but at least it’s not Boring.

America: single and loving it New York Times News Service The trend is huge, says Eric Klinenberg, the New York University sociology professor and author of the new book “Going Solo.� In 1950, 22 percent of U.S. adults were single.

Now that number is almost 50 percent. One in seven adults lives alone.

Elizabeth Weil, the author of a new book on marriage, “No Cheating, No Dying,� asked the professor to help decode the singles boom: how solo living is exploding and becoming less stigmatized, how it’s a privilege as well as a liability, how at certain points in modern lives, living alone may very well be the more desirable state.

When Thoreau talked Q: about going solo, to his cabin on Walden Pond, he spoke in pretty splashy terms about a place where he’d have not just his own bathroom but his own “sun and moon and stars.� Is living alone the ultimate luxury?

I don’t know if it’s the ultimate luxury, but what we’ve learned in the last 50 years is that people will live

sign about our collective priorities and mental health?

For decades social scientists have been worrying that our social connections are fraying, that we’ve become a society of lonely narcissists. I’m not convinced.

It seems to me that those critics are often nostalgic.

Still, the fantasy used A: Q: to be that we’d escape the family for a collective — a kibbutz or a commune. Now the fantasy is that we’ll escape that family to our own onebedroom. Why? I don’t think that’s the fantasy. My point is that, unlike 50 years ago, today we cycle in and out of different living arrangements: We live alone, then we live with a partner, we live alone again, we shack up with someone again.

At certain points in modern lives, living alone is the more desirable state.

For young professionals, it’s a sign of success and a mark of distinction, a way to gain freedom and experience the anonymity that can make city life so exhilarating. For someone who’s recently divorced, it’s a way to reassert control over your life and maybe become less lonely. A bad marriage can make a person feel more isolated than being single.

She is an avid gardener.

She and her husband were members of the Czech club in Portland.

She has lived in Central Oregon for seven years.

Many of your subjects Q: are really critical of the institution of marriage. One calls it a bore. Which maybe it is, though couldn’t that charge just as easily be leveled at the single life?

Personally, I don’t subscribe to that belief. I believe that there are certain things you can only learn about yourself if you’re living intimately with another person. But you could also say the same of living alone.

A:

we’ve become more free and adventurous and we’d rather choose to seek out others instead of having those others sitting in sweat pants on the couch?

It’s too early to say, but I came away feeling it’s the latter. We haven’t become so self-absorbed that we don’t care about other people.

What’s shifted is that we’ve learned we have to know how to take care of ourselves.

A:

Donald Winnicott, the Q: psychoanalyst, believed that a child’s ability to be alone was built on a secure attachment to another person, often a mother, and that without such a bond “the capacity to be alone cannot develop.�

What’s going to happen to the next generation? Will the pendulum swing? Will people start to cling?

We used to be concerned about declining communities, social isolation and negligent parents. Today we’re concerned about overconnection, constant stimulation and helicopter parents.

There’s a new skirmish in the generation wars, the fight about whether post-boomers are selfish, moneygrubbing fame seekers — the “Me�

Generation — or confident, group-oriented volunteers — the “We� Generation.

The latest salvo comes from Jean Twenge, a psychologist at San Diego State University and author of “Generation Me and the Narcissism Epidemic.� She’s still critical of her own generation, the Generation Xers born between 1962 and 1981, and the Millennials born after that.

In research published this month in the Journal of Personality and Social Psychology, Twenge found that, over the last 40 years, young people have become increasingly focused on money and fame while caring less about politics, their communities or the environment. Her team based its conclusions on analyses of surveys taken by 9 million high school seniors and college freshmen. “I think it’s potentially problematic to have this generational decline in civic engagement and community involvement, and that’s because these are the bedrock

of a society,� Twenge said.

But Michael Hais and Morley Winograd, both 69, authors of “Millennial Momentum: How a New Generation Is Remaking America,� take a more favorable view of the younger generations and were quick to find fault with Twenge’s study.

They said old-fashioned wording of the questions may have underestimated modern students’ interest in the environment and community improvement. Hais said surveys that focus on actions rather than attitudes show Millennials “are actually a very participatory generation.�

Twenge downplays survey results showing increased volunteerism because many high schools now require it.

Hais and Winograd concede that’s true, but say the volunteering continues into college and young adulthood. But they’re not so high on Gen Xers, whom Winograd described as mistrusting and skeptical of both younger and older generations.

Russell

Jerry Russell looks through a series of sketches and photographs he keeps in his Bend home that feature the steerable S-band antenna he designed for the Apollo space program so it could transmit signals from the Earth to the moon.

Continued from C1 In 1962, President John F. Kennedy responded to Gagarin’s achievement with his “We choose the moon” speech and a space race pitting the world’s two superpowers against each other hit its stride.

“It was really fortunate,” Russell said as he looked back on his rapidly developing career as an aeronautics engineer and the historic events that surrounded it. “I just happened to hit all of those things at the right time.”

or away from the sun.

Solving these two problems involved enclosing part of the assembly in a beryllium oxide coating that protected its circuitry and running a series of 24-karat-gold wires that carried heat to its outer frame in the cold vacuum of outer space.

“They would sometimes call me in the middle of the night,” Russell said, adding that he often had to rush out of bed to handle questions that came up at certain points during the manufacturing and design process.

What made the project more complicated, he said, was that he often had to travel between Dalmo-Victor’s main office in Belmont, Calif., to Boeing’s space laboratory in the Seattle area and a Farmingdale, N.Y., facility where Grumman Aircraft built the lunar modules.

Russell and his team built 20 steerable S-band antennas and sold them for a contract price of about $1 million — an amount that, adjusted for inflation, would come to about $7.25 million today. The devices functioned perfectly when they went into outer space.

“I didn’t have anything to do necessarily (with the space flights) unless they had a problem, and we didn’t have any problems,” Russell said, seeming to regret the fact that his project went off without a hitch. “It was actually a little boring.”

Mission accomplished The final Apollo mission, Apollo 17, returned its astronauts safely to the Earth’s surface on Dec. 7, 1972, after giving them a chance to spend three days exploring the lunar highlands one last time. No human being has set foot on the moon since then.

After the 1975 ApolloSoyuz mission — when an American space craft linked up with a Russian spacecraft — NASA switched from sending modules attached to the top of a Saturn V rocket as its means of getting astronauts into space to using airplane-like space shuttles that could land on their own. The shuttles made 135 missions — including Challenger and Columbia disasters — be-

fore this program ended in August.

Russell also moved on, designing a low-light video camera it later used on B-1 bombing missions for Dalmo-Victor before he left the firm in 1974 to pursue another engineering job. In 1978, he patented an adjustable shoulder pad that helped television cameramen carry their equipment and went on to design several other pieces of camera equipment and parts for reconnaissance systems used on military helicopters and planes.

He raised five children — three daughters and two sons, one of whom became an engineer — and moved to Bend in 1992 because he and his second wife — Georgette Russell, a professional figure skater who died last summer — explored Oregon on their vacations and decided it was where they wanted to retire.

Even though a lot has happened in the past 40 years, building the steerable S-band antenna used on the Apollo missions remains the top item featured in the “Accomplishments” section of Russell’s résumé.

He wishes he could have grabbed more than a handful of pictures and technical drawings to commemorate his work, but also said, “I was so damn busy I didn’t have a lot of time to do that.”

A spare Apollo lunar module on display at the Smithsonian’s Air and Space Museum has a working copy of the steerable S-band antenna attached to its roof and is there on public display for anybody willing to make a trip to Washington, D.C. Checking out the other antennas and Apollo lunar modules might be a little bit more difficult, Russell said.

“They’re somewhere on the moon,” he said.

At the end of each mission to the moon’s surface, the Apollo astronauts would fly their lunar module back up to the command module, climb into this Earth-bound ship, and let the rig that served as their base of operations while exploring the moon crash back down to its surface.

The National Aeronautics and Space Administration — which worked closely with the military and North American Aviation on the X-15 project — responded to this pledge with its Apollo program, a series of 18 manned and unmanned space flights from 1963 to 1972.

During the last six of these missions, a team of two astronauts would land on the moon’s surface using a lunar module that served as a base of operations while they studied the moon’s surface, collected rocks and did other research to help people learn more about space.

Russell’s antenna was attached to the top of each lunar module used by the Apollo program. The titanium and steel device was about the size of a drafting table, weighed 18 pounds and sticks out like a sore thumb in most pictures taken of the spacecraft in its travels.

“We used a slide rule to design this thing,” Russell said of the antenna, which was built by an eight-man engineering team he supervised as part of his work with the Dalmo-Victor company. “It was a weirdlooking turkey, but it worked very well.”

Another team of DalmoVictor engineers built a black antenna that carried signals between the lunar modules and their command modules, he said, which orbited the moon and were responsible for getting astronauts back to Earth.

Russell said the antenna featured a special motorized assembly that kept it pointed to one of several radio receivers on the Earth’s surface that the space program used to keep track of its astronauts while the moon rotated on its axis and revolved around the planet.

“The astronauts would get so busy when they were out on the surface of the moon that they didn’t need to steer the antenna around,” Russell said as he explained the assembly’s biggest advantage.

But while developing a system capable of carrying a signal from the moon to the earth while both bodies spun around in different directions and different speeds may seem like a challenge, Russell said his team’s biggest problem was making sure the antenna and its intricate, spinning parts could survive temperatures that swung from -279.4 degrees to 242.6 degrees Fahrenheit as the moon spun toward

Playing (online) with their hearts • Virtual gaming venues can also be matchmaking sites

Britney Hilbun and Stephen Monahan met through the online game Words With Friends and are now newly engaged. The Scrabblelike game, accessible on smartphones, boasts about 20 million players worldwide.

By Marc Ramirez The Dallas Morning News

DALLAS — The words didn’t come easy in the first moments of their courtship.

And even when they did, Stephen Monahan and Britney Hilbun were holding out for the big score.

Theirs was a relationship hatched online, in the virtual world of a game called Words With Friends. Matched when they hit the game’s “random opponent” button, months passed before the two — who lived 160 miles apart — even met in person.

Now the two are engaged and living in Tyler, Texas, 90 miles east of Dallas.

“It’s kind of funny to think, in retrospect,” Monahan said.

“If either of us had waited a second later, we may not have ever been paired up.”

Cautious courtships Look around you: People everywhere are buried in smartphones or computer monitors, making their latest move in multiplayer games like Words With Friends, which has 20 million players worldwide.

Others, less visible, are in front of home consoles, lost in fantasy or in conflict-based games with others across the Internet.

Few, if any, go into these games looking for love. But the ability to “chat” within the contests can spur flirtations much like those in a bar, sporting event, arts festival or any other setting where you might meet an intriguing stranger.

Such relationships will become more commonplace, some believe, as social media redefine our interactions.

“This is probably one of the biggest shifts in the last decade — the integration of online activities and connections into our social lives,” said

Tom Fox Dallas Morning News

T.L. Taylor, founding member of the Center for Network Culture at the IT University of Copenhagen.

While online dating sites let potential couples pre-gauge compatibility, online gaming, with its fictitious user names, lacks that initial openness.

“Gaming contexts involve more anonymity and fantasy than online dating sites, which have pressures for honesty and accuracy in self-presentation,” said communications professor Jennifer Gibbs of Rutgers University, who has studied the phenomenon.

Courtships, then, proceed cautiously. Chats beget email exchanges that further reveal character, then Facebook friendships that display one’s social circles and livelihoods, and, finally, video chats that verify appearances gleaned from already-shared photos — all before real-life contact occurs.

A tale of two gamers Monahan, 28, and Hilbun, 25, know the story. Itching for

a game of Words With Friends in early 2010, Monahan, a news editor who lived 70 miles north of Dallas in Gainesville, Texas, hit the random-opponent button. About the same time, Hilbun, a counselor in Tyler, did the same thing.

A few games indicated they were fairly evenly matched.

They began an in-game chat and realized they lived just three hours apart. Of all the word game joints in the world, she had clicked into his.

“We found out we had a lot in common,” Monahan said.

“We made each other laugh.”

Communication intensified; eventually they traded visits.

On Christmas Day, he gave her an elaborate five-step gift, peaking with a ring and a photo of a doctored Words With Friends board. The words spelled out: “BRITNEY WILL YOU MARRY ME.” “When you try to wrap your head around it, it’s kind of unbelievable that we had to push ‘random’ at the same moment,” Hilbun said.

Fairy tales weave their spell on 21st-century audiences

By Terrence Rafferty

On the big screen ...

“Mirror Mirror” works hard to let the audience know that it’s aware of its own silliness.

Although the story is set in a vaguely medieval fairy-tale kingdom, the tone is cheerfully, unapologetically anachronistic.

And the story has been altered to reflect more contemporary notions about the roles of men and women. Snow White is a much more can-do kind of princess than the passive heroine of yore, and this Prince Charming is quite a bit less masterful. He can’t stop Snow from saving him, when he believes that he should be saving her. “It’s been focus-grouped,” he protests, to no avail.

... and the small screen The TV series “Grimm” and “Once Upon a Time” are, surprisingly, more thoughtful than any of the recent fairy-tale movies have dared to be.

“Grimm,” on NBC, is mostly a horror show, in which a Portland detective tracks down and vanquishes a beast of the week.

The monsters, all with German names, pass for human; only

Can texting, online chats and email replace actual interaction? Jeff Gavin, a psychology professor at Britain’s University of Bath, told The Guardian in 2010 that other factors can bridge the shortfall.

People ask more questions online and give more intimate answers, he said, compensating for the lack of facial expressions.

Gavin also contributed to a 2005 study about dating sites, which found men were more committed to relationships started online than women, possibly because the initial anonymity let them “express their emotions more readily than in real life.”

It’s men who dominate socalled MMOGs, or massively multiplayer online games, which allow competitors worldwide to join the same game in real time with live conversation.

“They’re the perfect melting pot for two players from across the globe to find one another,” Pennsylvania-based writer

Josh Loomis wrote in The Escapist in March 2009. “Which is exactly what happened to me.”

Loomis joined a team, or guild, of other online players in the role-playing game World of Warcraft and struck up a conversation with a woman who lived in Canada. They’ve now been married for nearly three years.

“I still think that forming relationships online is quite viable,” he said by email. “Meeting someone through a common interest provides solid, fertile ground for feelings to grow, and the relative protection of distance and a measure of anonymity can shield one from emotional backlash.”

The game of love Taylor touched on the freedoms that MMOGs allow in her 2006 book “Play Between Worlds: Exploring Online Game Culture.”

Fairy tales can come true, the old song goes; it can happen to you if you’re young at heart.

Whether one believes this hopeful sentiment, there’s no doubt that fairy tales have, for the past couple of years — and into the foreseeable future — been coming pretty regularly to screens both big and small.

“Mirror Mirror,” a zippy new version of the Snow White story, has arrived in movie theaters, and yet another retelling, “Snow White and the Huntsman,” is threatened for later this year. “Hansel and Gretel: Witch Hunters” looms on the horizon too, scheduled for early 2013.

Games online, as they do on kitchen tables, front lawns and ballparks, become a showcase for skill, imagination and playfulness.

“It’s not just chatting, it’s playing together, whether that’s collaborating on a quest or competing in a friendly word game,” Taylor said. “There’s something pretty compelling about getting to know another person by playing with them.”

That’s true, said Paul Bettner, co-founder of Words With Friends developer Newtoy, based in McKinney and now known as Zynga With Friends.

“The game is sitting there between you as an excuse to socialize,” said Bettner, who met his wife on MySpace. “It can turn into something deeper.”

He’s seen it play out more than a few times.

Megan Lawless, for example, a Chicago marketing associate, is now married to her former random opponent, Jasper Jasperse — never mind that he lived in the Netherlands.

While Lawless wasn’t keen on dating someone 4,000 miles away, Jasperse finally coaxed her into letting him visit in February 2010. She told a close friend where and when they were meeting, just in case.

Everything clicked. A few months later, she went to Europe, and he whisked her to Paris, where he proposed. He moved to the U.S. last spring, and they married in July. Jasperse wore Scrabble-themed cufflinks for the wedding.

AUGUSTA, Ga. — he Masters began for Phil Mickelson earlier than anyone else, while most were wolfing down scrambled eggs in the clubhouse or still fast asleep in their beds. Slipping on a green jacket in the harsh early morning light, he headed to the first hole to cheer on the ceremonial tee shots of players whose names are etched into the very fabric of the game.

His tee time wasn’t for another six hours, but the thought of watching Arnold Palmer, Jack Nicklaus and Gary Player together again lured him out of a warm bed.

Perhaps it’s only fitting, then, that he’s in the place he’s in now: a shot off the lead in the Masters after a brilliant back nine as good as any the Big Three played in their prime; 18 holes away from making a little history of his own with a fourth green jacket in a tournament that means so much.

The Masters that began so early for Mickelson will end late, in the soft evening light Sunday as the shadows from the giant pines spread across Augusta National. It’s a special time that Mickelson relishes, a time when all the senses are sharpened and the hardest thing to do is to control the surging adrenaline.

CHARLESTON, S.C. — In a farmhouse in the village of Durham Lead outside Melbourne, Australia, a single U.S. dollar bill is framed and proudly displayed.

Judy Tegart Dalton has kept that dollar for nearly 42 years, one small memento in the great battle for women’s rights.

Dalton, now 74, was a member of the Original Nine, a group of women who defied the tennis establishment in 1970 and started their own tour.

They agreed to symbolic $1 contracts on Sept. 23, 1970, and commemorated the innovation with a black-and-white photograph of eight of the nine — joined

by the promoter Gladys Heldman — smiling broadly as they held up dollar bills.

Almost 42 years later, the Original Nine were reunited here Friday night and honored as part of the 40th anniversary of the Family Circle Cup on nearby Daniel Island, the longest-running tournament on the women’s tour.

It was the first time all nine — Billie Jean King, Rosie Casals, Peaches Bartkowicz, Julie Heldman, Kerry Melville Reid, Kristy Pigeon, Nancy Richey, Valerie Ziegenfuss and Dalton — had been together since 1986, and only the second time since that tournament in Houston in 1970.

Bucks beat Trail Blazers

Coyotes claim first crown in division

The Associated Press MILWAUKEE — Beno Udrih scored a season-high 21 points, Brandon Jennings also added 21, and the Milwaukee Bucks beat the Portland Trail Blazers 116-94 on Saturday night to tighten the race for the final playoff berth in the Eastern Conference.

Ersan Ilyasova chipped in 20 points for Milwaukee, which moved within a halfgame of idle New York with its fourth straight victory. The Bucks are .500 (28-28) for the first time since they were 2-2 on Jan. 2.

LaMarcus Aldridge finished with 21 points for Portland, which lost 116-87 to Milwaukee on March 20 — its worst home loss of the season.

Wesley Matthews added 14 points for the Trail Blazers, who were hoping to win consecutive road games for the first time this season.

The Bucks shot 50 percent (47 of 94) from the field and were 12 of 25 (48 percent) from three-point range.

Milwaukee outscored Portland 30-11 in the final quarter, and scored 19 of the first 24 points of the period.

Jennings dribbled the ball between his legs and swished a three-pointer in front of Raymond Felton for a 99-88 lead with 6:34 to play.

Jennings then delivered two assists that led to dunks

by Larry Sanders for a 10388 lead with 4:06 remaining.

Sanders finished with a season-high 14 points.

The lead was 105-88 after Jennings sank two free throws with 3:40 left. He had 12 points in the period.

A victory for the Trail Blazers would have given them their first three-game winning streak since starting the season 3-0. But they missed 11 of their first 13 shots of the final quarter and never recovered.

Portland led 63-54 at halftime, but Milwaukee held an 86-83 advantage after the third quarter. A three-pointer

by Mike Dunleavy gave the Bucks an 84-83 edge, their first

The Associated Press MINNEAPOLIS — The Phoenix Coyotes have reached heights they’ve never seen before going back to their days in hockey-mad Canada, let alone their new era in the desert.

The Minnesota Wild have sunk to a depth that has become all too familiar in the “State of Hockey.”

Taylor Pyatt scored two goals and Mike Smith made 23 saves to help the Phoenix Coyotes clinch the first division championship in franchise history with a 4-1 victory over the Minnesota Wild on Saturday night.

Mikkel Boedker and Radim Vrbata also scored and Michal Rozsival added two assists for the Coyotes (42-27-13), who won the final five games of the regular season to leapfrog Los Angeles and San Jose for the Pacific Division title.

The Coyotes had never won a division dating back to their inception as the Winnipeg Jets in 1979-80.

“For the first one in franchise history it’s obviously significant,” coach Dave Tippett said. “I really give the players a ton of credit.

They worked hard, sometimes not under the most ideal of circumstances.

They’ve hung in there and they are a great group willing to work hard, willing to pay the price to win.”

The Redmond boys placed second in large part because of their field events. Jacob Crivellone won the shot put (53-07 1⁄2), Gabriel Giacci took first in the discus (134-01) and Cody Simpson topped the field in the triple jump (42-04).

In the girls competition, Summit used its distance depth to cruise to victory with 235 points. Sisters placed second with 89.5 points.

For Sisters, Zoe Falk won the long jump with a leap of 16-07 3⁄4, and Sara Small took top honors in the pole vault

— she is the reigning Class 4A state champion in the event — with a mark of 11-08, breaking her own school record.

Brianna Yeakey paced the Redmond girls, winning the javelin with a toss of 105-10, while La Pine’s Ashley Agenbroad led the Hawks with victory in the discus (107-09).

Madras, Culver and Gilchrist also competed in the meet, which featured teams from Class 1A to 6A. Laura Sullivan was the top White Buffalo finisher Saturday, taking second in the girls high jump to Summit’s Howard. The Bulldogs’ Lori Sandy placed third in the girls triple jump to pace Culver and Paige Kooker highlighted the Grizzlies’ day with a third-place finish in the girls discus.

“We had great representation of Central Oregon teams, which is what we wanted,” Sisters coach Charlie Kanzig said. “It’s great for all the local teams, from Gilchrist to Redmond, to be able to compete together and have it work.”

Peter Hanson reacts after making a birdie putt on the 17th hole during the third round of the Masters Saturday in Augusta, Ga.

Hanson holds off Mickelson’s charge PGA TOUR: THE MASTERS

By Doug Ferguson The Associated Press

AUGUSTA, Ga. — Phil Mickelson raised the putter in his right hand and slammed down his left fist to celebrate a 20-foot eagle putt that shook Augusta National with the loudest roar on a day filled with them.

Peter Hanson knew what was going on behind him without looking Saturday. He also knew exactly what he had to do.

The 34-year-old Swede, playing in only his second Masters, answered by making four birdies over the last five holes for a 7-under 65, the lowest score of the tournament, to take a one-shot lead into the final round.

“I’m standing in the middle of the fairway and I feel him breathing down my neck a little bit,” Hanson said.

He followed with an approach into 2 feet for birdie, a 15-foot putt from the fringe on the 15th, a 30-foot birdie putt over the ridge on the 17th and one last birdie at the 18th with a shot that stopped inside 3 feet from the cup.

What a finish — and it’s all just beginning.

The advantage going into today belongs to Mickelson, a three-time Masters champion who thrilled the sun-baked crowd with some magical shots. Mickelson shot 30 on the back nine, including a birdie on the par-5 15th when he played a full flop shot with a 64-degree wedge — no one even thinks about hitting a shot like that — to 4 feet.

He wound up with a 66 and was in the final group at the Masters for the fourth time in the last nine years. Mickelson won the last three times he was in that spot, and today he faces a Swede whom he trounced in the Ryder Cup two years ago in Wales.

Hanson, who has never been closer than seven shots going into the final day at any major, was at 9-under 207.

Mickelson gave the leaderboard some star power when so many others faded or, in the case of Tiger Woods, never came close to getting there. Woods now has gone 26 consecutive holes on the back nine at Augusta without a birdie. He had to settle for a 72 and was 12 shots behind,

Masters Continued from D1 A time when champions are crowned.

“I love it here and I love nothing more than being in the last group on Sunday at the Masters,” Mickelson said.

“It’s the greatest thing in professional golf.”

How he got there this time around could become part of golf lore one day, just like the exploits of Palmer, Nicklaus and Co. This was a tournament where a resurgent Tiger Woods and rising superstar Rory McIlroy were supposed to duel it out on the weekend, a Masters where Woods would either cement his claim to greatness or McIlroy would be acclaimed the next great one.

Mickelson was an afterthought, mostly overlooked despite his history of success here. But now they’re the ones with the early tee times, playing for nothing but pride unless half the field ahead of them pulls out with food poisoning.

Mickelson, meanwhile, goes out in the final group with Peter Hanson with the green jacket squarely in his sights.

“You have a chance, and that’s what we all want, is that opportunity,” he said.

“Sometimes it works out and that’s great, and sometimes it doesn’t. But you still had that opportunity, and that’s what we play and practice for.”

If it does work out, it will take plenty of patience, the kind Mickelson showed on Thursday when he stood at 4-

his largest 54-hole deficit ever at the Masters.

But he wasn’t alone.

U.S. Open champion Rory McIlroy, who started the day one shot out of the lead, made double bogey from the trees on the first hole and it only got worse from there. He had three 6s on his card and went out in 42, finishing with a 77 that left him 10 shots behind. He played with Sergio Garcia, who shot 75. Neither made a birdie until No. 12, and they hugged each other on the green to celebrate.

Fred Couples, at 52 the oldest player atop the leaderboard going into the weekend at Augusta, bogeyed his first two holes and tried to stay in the game. He wound up with a 75 and was seven shots behind.

A win would give Mickelson his fourth green jacket, same as Woods and Arnold Palmer.

But this is far from a two-man race.

Former British Open champion Louis Oosthuizen rode his sweet swing to a 69 and was only two shots behind. Bubba Watson birdied the last hole for a 70 and was three shots back, followed by Matt Kuchar, who joined Mickelson as the first players in 13 years to birdie the 18th hole each of the first three rounds.

The group at 4-under 212 included Lee Westwood (72) and Padraig Harrington, who shot 68 and summed up what awaits today.

“It’s not the player that plays the most consistent that wins at the Masters. The player who plays probably some of the most exciting golf wins at the Masters,” Harrington said. “You only have to look at the way Phil has won some of his majors. You’ve got to take on golf shots.

Fortune favors the brave at times here.”

And to think Mickelson almost lost this Masters on the opening day.

With a lost ball and a triple bogey on the 10th hole, he was 4-over par through 12 holes on Thursday and hitting the ball in places even he had never seen at Augusta. Only his short game saved him that day, and he escaped with a 74.

over-par after spending several minutes tromping through the woods left of the 10th fairway looking for a ball that may remain lost forever. He had to force himself to resist getting it back in big chunks, knowing that there was still a lot of golf to be played and still a lot of birdies to be had on a soft Augusta National course.

He shot 74 the first day, then followed it with a 68 on Friday.

On Saturday he was trying to patiently string together par after par before a birdie on the same 10th hole seemed to spark something inside. He would go on to eagle the 13th hole and make three more birdies, including a final one on the 18th hole to get to 8-under, a shot behind Hanson.

For good measure, he threw in a shot that only Mickelson could hit — a flopper with a full swing of a 64-degree wedge from behind the 15th green with the green sloping away and water in play. Somehow, some way, it trickled to rest just 5 feet from the hole for birdie.

Nothing out of the ordinary.

Phil being Phil.

“It wasn’t the safest shot,” he admitted afterward.

Though Hanson — a Swede whom Mickelson thrashed in a 2010 Ryder Cup singles match — is largely unheralded, he managed to beat Mickelson’s 66 by a shot Saturday.

And even without Woods and McIlroy there are a lot of names within striking distance, including Bubba Watson, Hunter Mahan and Lee Westwood. Mickelson will have to earn this one, as he did

in 2010 when a signature shot — an iron off the pine straw between two trees to within a few feet on No. 13 — helped him win his third Masters.

His career still lacks the pedigree of a U.S. or British Open title, but another green jacket would give him five major championships, the most of any active player other than Woods. More importantly, it would tie him with Woods and Palmer with four Masters wins, two behind Nicklaus.

That’s not what was on Mickelson’s mind when he got up early Thursday to watch the ceremonial tee shot that opens the Masters each year.

He has played in 19 of these — the first as an amateur in 1991 — but has never seen the opening that helps make the Masters so different from other tournaments. With the next-to-last tee time of the day, he figured it was the perfect time to get up early and watch the former greats try to hit the fairway.

Yes, he probably threw off his first-day schedule, may have lost a few hours of sleep.

Not many players would do it, but Mickelson steps to his own beat. It’s the kind of thing that endears him to fans as a kind of anti-Woods, always ready to sign an autograph and almost always with a grin.

Who knows, there may come a day many years in the future when Lefty is one of those starters himself. Knowing Mickelson, he’s probably already pictured himself doing just that.

Right now, though, there’s another Masters to win.

Continued from D1 They sat down Friday afternoon to re-create that photograph — Julie Heldman in place of her mother, Gladys — smiling as they held up dollar bills once again. But maybe they should have been holding million-dollar checks instead. That is what today’s players can earn because of the Original Nine.

“We had no idea that this little dollar would turn into millions,” Casals said Saturday.

Not that they realized the effect of what they were doing at the time or what those dollars meant. Dalton is the only one who still has her dollar from 1970.

“For us, it was making a living,” said Heldman, the No. 5 player in the world in 1969, whose mother, Gladys, put together the Virginia Slims Invitational of Houston and ran a 19-tournament tour with $309,000 in prize money in 1971.

“It was being able to say that I am a woman athlete and this is what I do,” Heldman said.

“There was a couple of the top men tennis players said, ‘You’re taking money away from us if you want some of the prize money, because we’re breadwinners.’ Well, what were we?

Toast winners?”

No, but they were largely on their own. With no women’s tour, they had to play the same tournaments as men while earning a fraction of what the men were paid.

And the tiny purses came grudgingly.

“There was a tournament that, say, had $10,000 for the men and $1,500 for the women,” Richey said.

“You’re talking about a huge disparity.”

So the nine women rebelled, boycotting a tournament where they were told that they would be paid one-eighth or less of what the men were competing for.

Instead, they signed those $1 contracts to play a small women’s tournament in Houston in late September.

The original photo taken more than 40 years ago of the Original Nine female tennis players. Top row from left to right: Valerie Ziegenfuss, Billie Jean King, Nancy Richey, Peaches Bartkowicz, Kristy Pigeon. Bottom row from left to right: Judy Tegart Dalton, Kerry Melville Reid, Rosie Casals and Gladys Heldman.

“We cut ourselves off from the USTA because they said if you do that you’re going to be suspended,” said Richey, 69, the winner of two Grand Slam singles titles and sister of Cliff Richey, a former No. 1 men’s player. “So we didn’t have anyplace to go. We didn’t have anyplace to play.

But we didn’t have much, anyway. To me, it wasn’t that big a gamble.”

The two Australians in the Original Nine, Dalton and Reid, were suspended by their tennis association and were forbidden to play in tournaments in their homeland.

Meanwhile, the U.S. Lawn Tennis Association, which had refused to start a tour for women before the boycott, reversed course and decided to run a tour to compete with the Virginia Slims tour. It was not until 1973 that King forged a merger and the Women’s Tennis Association was born.

This year, tournament purses on the women’s tour will total $96 million.

“That’s why women’s tennis really stands out among all female sports,” said Serena Williams, who is playing in the Family Circle Cup, which concludes today.

“Because these nine ladies took a stand and said, ‘We want this, and we want

this to happen for us and for our tour.’ And now look at us. I think we’re the premier sport for all females.”

The effect of what they did was felt beyond tennis. As the WTA chief executive, Stacey Allaster, said Friday night during the dinner honoring the Original Nine: “Not only did you give little girls the dream to play professional tennis, you gave little girls the dream they could be CEOs of companies. So thank you.”

Their actions took place during the heyday of the women’s movement in the early 1970s.

“I think we came in at a very unique time in history for women making statements,” said Casals, 63, who won nine Grand Slam doubles titles and three mixeddoubles titles. “I always say, since then things have been boring for women.”

JOHN COSTA

COMMENTARY

Oregon’s court crunch

I

t’s an election year. Right around the corner is the May primary.

The ballots will be mailed April 27 and counted May 15.

It’s a prelude — a very important one — for the general election in November, which is headlined by a contest for president of the United States.

But in the meantime, there are decisions to be made in a number of important races and issues.

Many of the candidates and advocates have been visiting the editorial board of The Bulletin, seeking endorsements from the newspaper.

One group has been particularly striking.

It’s composed of the candidates for local judge, the state Court of Appeals, and the state Supreme Court.

As you could guess, they are all very experienced lawyers and, as we discovered, all very qualified and fine individuals.

Endorsing is not going to be easy.

In fact, we have yet to interview one who we thought couldn’t do the job.

While they have different backgrounds and brought different perspectives to their candidacies, they expressed a revealing set of concerns on a troubling set of challenges.

At the heart of their worries is that the public could lose faith in the court system if we don’t invest in what is a bedrock of our democracy.

Granted, this could be interpreted as mere self service, because the solution, in many ways, is simply a greater financial investment in the courts.

Critics of this view could respond, “Get in line. We need more money in the public schools, health care and social service.”

That may well be true, but if the public loses faith in the fairness, efficiency and effectiveness of the courts and the law, I’m afraid that all the money put into the schools, health care and social service systems may seem quite irrelevant some day.

The candidates concerns varied.

Some worried about the declining number of jury trials. The system, one candidate feared, will lose validity and support the more the public is excluded.

Even when there is a jury trial, according to one candidate, the process is elongated by any number of shortcomings, including the state employee furlough days that shut the courts down on Fridays.

Another candidate pointed to challenges with the civil calendar.

Many people who have reason to be in court, this person observed, touch the civil, not the criminal, side of the system.

They would like to prevail, but what many of them, including businesses, want most is a reasonably quick and certain decision.

Supreme Court Chief Justice Paul De Muniz has pointed out that the number of civil cases is declining.

But not necessarily for the right reasons. Cost of litigation and delay in getting to trial are among them.

Tragically, many people, one of the candidates said, who have good reason to proceed are simply throwing in the towel.

Some of the problem is, to be honest, of the participants’ own making.

As one candidate observed, there isn’t a lawyer worth his billing rate who doesn’t know how to slow a case to a crawl.

There are some bright spots.

The Legislature has authorized — but not yet approved the funds for — an expansion of the Court of Appeals. And a system of expedited trials was approved by De Muniz.

Those are great steps but don’t answer the larger concerns of the system as a whole.

Systematic efficiencies go a long way, but in the end, it comes down to investment.

Do we as a society think the court system and what it does are so important that we must address these challenges comprehensively?

After all, there is only so much efficiency that can be squeezed out of any system before the gears begin to grind.

It’s a good question that is perhaps best asked of the state Legislature.

The incredible

shrinking

childhood

• Girls are experiencing puberty at a younger age, prompting some to think this is the ‘new normal’

By Elizabeth Weil • New York Times Magazine

O

ne day last year when her daughter Ainsley was 9, Tracee Sioux pulled her out of her elementary school in Fort Collins, Colo., and drove her an hour south, to Longmont, in hopes of finding a satisfying reason that Ainsley began growing pubic hair at age 6.

Ainsley was the tallest child in her third-grade class. She had a thick, enviable ponytail and big feet. The curves of her Levi’s matched her mother’s.

“How was your day?” Tracee asked Ainsley as she climbed in the car.

“Pretty good.”

“What did you do at a recess?”

“I played on the slide with my friends.”

Ainsley wiggled out of her pink parka and looked in her backpack for her Harry Potter book. Over the past three years, Tracee had taken Ainsley to see several doctors. They ordered blood tests and bone-age X-rays and turned up nothing unusual. “The doctors always come back with these blank looks on their faces, and then they start redefining what normal is,” Tracee said as we drove

down Interstate 25. “And I always just sit there thinking, What are you talking about, normal?

Who gets pubic hair in first grade?”

Fed up with mainstream physicians, Tracee began pursuing less conventional options. She tried giving Ainsley diindolylmethane, a supplement that may or may not help a body balance its hormones. She also started “The Girl Revolution” blog, with a mission to “revolutionize the way we think about, treat and raise girls,” and the accompanying TGR Body line of sunscreens and lotions marketed to tweens and described by Tracee as “natural, organic, craptastic-free products” containing “no estrogens, phytoestrogens, endocrine disrupters.”

None of this stopped Ainsley’s body from maturing ahead of its time. That afternoon, Tracee and Ainsley visited the office of Jared Allomong, an applied kinesiologist. Applied kinesiology is a “healing art” sort of like chiropractic. Practitioners test muscle strength in order to diagnose health problems.

“So, what brings you here today?” Allomong asked. Tracee stroked Ainsley’s arm and said, wistfully, “Precocious puberty.”

Allomong nodded. “What are the symptoms?”

“Pubic hair, armpit hair, a few pimples around the nose. Some budding.” Tracee gestured with her hands, implying breasts. “The emotional stuff is getting worse, too. Ainsley’s been getting super upset about little things, crying, and she doesn’t know why. I think she’s cycling with me.”

Ainsley closed her eyes, as if to shut out the embarrassment.

“Have you seen Western doctors for this?”

Allomong asked.

Tracee laughed. “Yes, many,” she said.

“None suggested any course of action. They left us hanging.” She repeated what she told me in the car: “They seem to have changed the definition of ‘normal.”’

Allomong nodded and took notes, asking Tracee detailed questions about her birth-control history and validating her worst fears by mentioning the “extremely high levels” of estrogen-mimicking chemicals in the food and water supply.

Mostly pluses to Bend police checking stats

B

end Police Chief Jeff Sale is proposing to bring more numbers in to fight crime. Not more officers on the street. He wants statistics.

For less than the price of two patrol officers already in his budget, Sale wants to hire one analyst and give that person the hardware and software to crunch community crime data.

The basic idea is simple. Count where and when and what types of crime occur. Add in other information. Target and shape resources to meet crime and prevent it.

Of course, the department and individual officers already have their own knowledge. And it’s not that the department has never tabulated data before. Sale wants a much more focused effort.

He is right that the department can’t just respond to more calls for service by requesting money for more officers. The city of Bend is predicting its revenue to increase slowly over the next five years.

The new data also might upend some assumptions. It might enable Bend police to accelerate enforcement. It would enable Bend police

to better tie into similar databases from other law enforcement agencies and departments.

That’s one point councilors stressed during Wednesday night’s meeting. They urged Bend Police to ensure whatever computer system and software Bend police choose can share.

Numbers can, indeed, be powerful weapons. Careful counting, analysis and setting of objectives may work some law enforcement wonders.

Numbers can also be a trap. Human beings are the actors behind the data. And human beings don’t always behave predictably. Robert McNamara, the former Secretary of Defense, was one notable adherent to such metrics. Their power and their flaws haunted him.

In the same way for Bend, previous criminal behavior may not dictate future behavior. We can learn from the numbers but must see their shortcomings.

Best-practices lists carry some risks C hoosing Wisely is the name of the latest effort to tell doctors how to do their jobs. This week a group led by the American Board of Internal Medicine launched a campaign to get doctors to cut back on 45 tests and procedures it says don’t help patients.

That comes on top of earlier efforts from the Preventive Services Task Force, the American College of Physicians and the National Priorities Partnership, among others.

They are part of the movement to establish “best practices� or, as President Obama has said, to “figure out what works and what doesn’t� in health care.

It’s a laudable goal. Unfortunately, it’s unattainable, and the risk is that doctors and patients could lose control of health care decisions.

The effort seeks to address an important problem: the overuse of medical tests and treatments that are expensive, unnecessary and sometimes even harmful to patients.

But the idea rests on a fallacy: the notion that there is a right answer that is applicable to all patients.

As Drs. Pamela Hartzband and Jerome Groopman wrote recently for The Wall Street Journal, “You

cannot pick up a newspaper, turn on the TV or surf the Internet without encountering conflicting reports about various tests and treatments. Medical experts disagree about many issues, often dramatically.�

The doctors, who are on the faculty of the Harvard Medical School and the Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center in Boston, point out that two sets of doctors can disagree about treatment even while looking at the same data.

Patients, also, differ greatly about what treatment they want, even while looking at the same expert opinions. Some are “maximalists� who want every treatment, the doctors say, while others are “minimalists� who want far less. “Much of medicine exists in a gray zone,� they write, “where there is not one right answer.�

That said, it appears clear that some tests and procedures are overprescribed, and that current payment incentives don’t help. To the extent that best-practices efforts focus on educating doctors, they have the potential to be helpful. But if they cross over into coercion or payment decisions, they can interfere with the communication and shared judgment that is at the heart of the doctor/patient relationship.

Send in the clowns, and cheese

O

ur question for today is: What lessons can be learned from the current scandal involving the 2010 Western Regions Conference of the General Services Administration’s Public Buildings Service?

I know you’re all excited, but don’t everybody talk at once.

Honestly, this is a fascinating story.

Not much in the way of sex, but there is a clairvoyant and a clown. Plus quite a bit of cheese.

The GSA is a very large agency with the not-always-glamorous mission of providing support services for the federal bureaucracy, some involving the management of public buildings. Every two years, about 300 of the higher-ranking people in the western half of the country have a conference to open lines of communication and improve teamwork.

In 2010, the organizers chose the theme “A Showcase of World-Class Talent,� which, of course, suggested going to Las Vegas and employing a professional mind-reader and clown as entertainers. The four-day gathering wound up costing more than $820,000, some of it for $4-a-piece shrimp and an “American Artisanal Cheese Display� at the M Resort Spa Casino.

My immediate reaction was that people planning a conference that involves use of taxpayer money should try to avoid staging it in a venue that includes the word “resort� or “spa� or “casino,� let alone all three. However, experts from the business world have assured me that a lot of really serious meeting-type activity goes on at places that sound as if they would be far more appropriate for a family reunion or extramarital affair. Until now, I had no idea how much communications and teamwork get improved in Las Vegas and Disney World.

Still, there is a general agreement that this particular event was over

GAIL COLLINS the top, particularly after the GSA inspector general found that the administrator in charge of planning the conference instructed his minions to make it “over the top.�

Among the most notable excesses was $6,325 worth of commemorative coins in velvet boxes, which would be the equivalent of topping off a government holiday party with the distribution of silver-plated fruitcakes.

There was much, much more, including the fact that GSA employees spent so much time visiting Las Vegas on “scouting trips,� planning meetings and preplanning planning meetings that you had to wonder if they were angling for residency status. Then there is the question of why the organizers felt they needed to spend $1,840 on “vests.� Why sushi rolls for 300 people cost $7,000.

I will refrain from pointing out that there were much worse GSA stories during the Bush administration, one involving the Jack Abramoff lobbying scandal. But I’m not going there because, really, that’s all in the past.

In the present, the Republican chairman of the House Transportation and Infrastructure Committee announced plans to hold hearings on clown-and-cheesegate. The chairman, Rep. John Mica of Florida, did acknowledge that no one in the administration had tried to impede the inspector general’s work or keep the results quiet. Perhaps he was thinking back on Lurita Doan, the Bush GSA head, who claimed that attempts to examine contracts for fraud and waste were “eroding the health of the organization� and compared

the auditors to terrorists.

Once again, moving on. Honest.

You are probably wondering how the Obama administration reacted to all these developments. It is safe to say that any president would have been seriously displeased at the news that 300 federal building managers had blown almost a million dollars on four days of cocktail parties, although maybe Warren Harding would have wanted to know why he wasn’t invited.

As soon as the inspector general issued his report, Martha Johnson, the head of the GSA, canned two top agency officials, then resigned herself. One of the now-departed deputies was overseeing a project that involves turning Washington’s Old Post Office Pavilion over to Donald Trump for a luxury hotel. There is no word on whether the uproar might derail the plan, but, personally, I can respond with equanimity to the idea of disappointing Donald Trump about virtually anything.

The Obama administration has actually had its agency chiefs reviewing the money spent on conferences since last fall, and claims it has already saved $280 million. Minus, I guess, $822,751.

The State Department said it has figured out how to hold most of its conferences in government facilities rather than hotels, and that’s my take-away thought. If the GSA party animals had done their team-building in a federal office, I’ll bet there would have been a lot fewer shrimp and commemorative coins. They should have been able to find a spot, what with being the people whose job is managing government buildings.

Honest to gosh, you’d think they just wanted to hang out at a resort casino spa. — Gail Collins is a columnist for The New York Times.

An indoor ice skating rink for Bend is not a foolish expense

By Stephany Brandt would like to second the opinion of Maralyn Thoma voiced March 25: Bend needs an indoor ice rink, not another outdoor rink. I have spent the last 13 years working in the ice skating industry in positions from skating instructor to rink IN MY manager to Zamboni driver, and I have seen the pitfalls and longterm costs associated with outdoor rinks. Though it is a “romantic� idea to skate outdoors, the environmental and economic feasibility of an outdoor rink in Bend is no longer doable.

An outdoor rink, even tented, can only feasibly run from November to April in this climate, and that is being generous. The temperatures and sun intensity we see in Bend make it very difficult and costly to keep an ice sheet cold beyond this narrow op-

I

erational window.

I have worked ice maintenance at our local outdoor rinks, and the manpower costs alone to maintain a small outdoor ice sheet are much more than an indoor sheet four times its size. For example, resurfacing an VIEW indoor NHL-sized ice sheet in the morning takes an employee around 30 minutes maximum (including filling the Zamboni with water.)

Resurfacing an uncovered, outdoor rink one-fourth the size after an inch of snow has fallen can sometimes take 2 hours or more. This is not taking into account the actual energy costs of keeping an outdoor sheet at a consistent temperature, despite the fluctuations of the environment around it.

Every time the outdoor temperature changes by even a degree, the com-

pressors have to work overtime to keep the sheet cold, and that costs energy and money.

Though a fully indoor rink would have a higher initial cost, the longterm costs to operate the rink would be far less than an outdoor or tented rink of equal size. Thanks to modern technology, you can build a state-of-the-art indoor facility that can control even the most minute temperature changes with efficiency, minimizing your daily operational expenses.

You can also get more skating use on a full-sized indoor rink during a year-round schedule. Ice skating is an especially nice way to escape the summer heat, and most rinks I’ve frequented use their summer schedule as a time to introduce new skaters to the sport so they can join fall hockey and figure skating programs at full speed.

From an instructor’s viewpoint, it’s absolutely heart-breaking to teach skaters each winter and then never see them come back because they’ve lost interest over the ice-free summer.

Currently, skaters who want to pursue greater hockey or figure skating goals must commute to Portland or beyond to get the ice time they need to stay competitive. The sad reality is that you need to train year-round in both sports, and if you cannot get the ice time, you will never be able to compete with those who can.

At a year-round rink, we would be able to actually build hockey and figure skating programs to their full potential. With proper design and planning we could also introduce shorttrack speed skating and curling, both of which could be immensely popular in Bend. This is long-term income the

rink will need to survive.

At the indoor rink I started at, the popularity of hockey alone kept ice time at a premium throughout the year.

We had teams ranging from youth to Junior-B, to college and city-league, needing practice time every day. Any smart rink manager knows that great hockey programs are the lifeblood of a profitable rink. With proper schedule management and program building, we could have an indoor rink that is literally in demand all hours of the day.

An indoor rink would not only serve the Bend community immensely, it would save us money in the long term and would be able to financially support itself in a much shorter time frame. I ask everyone to consider this option, because another outdoor rink is a foolish expense. — Stephany Brandt lives in Bend.

Freedom or fairness in 2012 2

012 should prove to be an ideological election about the economy. Not all campaigns are so clear cut. Sometimes moderate Republicans raise taxes (like George H.W. Bush did); at other times, pragmatic Democrats cut spending (like Bill Clinton did).

But this year, Mitt Romney, the likely Republican nominee, will run an ideological campaign calling for smaller government and fewer taxes against an equally ideological President Obama, who wants more government and higher taxes. In this divided red state/blue state era, the supporters of each candidate demand no less and will have a clear choice.

This year’s campaign sloganeering will remind us of all the classic American arguments: Was it New Deal big government or World War II-inspired entrepreneurialism that truly ended the Great Depression?

Were we better off under Ronald Reagan’s or Bill Clinton’s economic policies? Was it unfettered Wall Street greed or Freddie Mac and Fannie Mae government corruption that caused the 2008 financial meltdown? And which model better served its people: America’s or the European Union’s?

Romney will make the implicit case that his prior success in the private sector and his free enterprise

VICTOR DAVIS HANSON know-how will bring Americans more personal freedom and prosperity — even if the upsurge may result in more inequality.

If we simplify or cut tax rates, slash federal spending, pay down the debt, prune away regulations and push ahead with far more fossil fuel development, Romney will argue that employment will improve and that those with money now on the sidelines will get back into the game. The economy will supposedly expand, more wealth will circulate and greater revenue from taxes will be collected. Whether someone ends up with more money than someone else won’t be as important as the fact that those in the middle and on the bottom will be better off than they are now.

President Obama will decry “trickle down economics” and counter with an appeal to equality.

He revealed his own views about fairness in April 2008. When asked about raising the tax rates on capital gains, Senator Obama replied that he would indeed raise taxes for “purposes of fairness” alone — even if such hikes led to less aggregate revenue for all.

In the last four years, Obama has made it clear exactly what he meant.

Almost half of Americans pay no income taxes, and more people than ever are on food stamps. Government is larger than ever, and more rules regulate business. The president pushed through a takeover of health care that may prove to be the greatest federal entitlement since Social Security. He has borrowed $5 trillion in less than four years in an effort to fund more social services - a gargantuan debt that he believes will require more taxes on the top brackets to pay back.

Obama editorializes about “fat cat” bankers, “corporate jet owners,” those who junket to the Super Bowl or Las Vegas, and those selfish Americans who should take a time out from profiteering, or who do not know when they have already made quite enough money. He believes that Americans are not doing well because a few on top are doing too well — as the 1 percent shear the other 99 percent of the flock below in a zero-sum economy. Only more noble and competent technocratic officials can ensure that unfettered businesses spread rather than hoard their profits.

Romney will counter that if farmers do not have to worry about new “green” regulations, if oil men can drill on more federal lands, if busi-

nessmen know their taxes won’t go up, if financiers believe they should make rather than apologize for profits, then more Americans will find work, more oil found will mean cheaper gas for all and business people will win a greater share abroad of the world’s trade and commerce.

These are the ancient arguments that once pitted the liberty of the American Revolution against the egalitarianism of the French, the statist visions of John Maynard Keynes against the individualism of Friedrich Hayek, and the tragic admission that we cannot be truly free if we are all forced to end up roughly equal versus the idealism that if we are all roughly equal then we are at last truly free.

In blunter terms, Romney’s message is that, if you have the money to drive a nice Kia, what do you care if a sleek Mercedes whizzes by?

Obama’s answer, in contrast, is that you should care, because the guy in the Mercedes probably took something from you.

The election will hinge upon how many people who can’t afford a Kia now believe that they might be able to under Romney — and who could care less about the other guy in the Mercedes.

Los Angeles Times

A

few days ago, on a tranquil spring afternoon, I hugged my only son, holding back tears because he hates sappy stuff like that, and watched him go off to war. With luck, we’ll be together again around Christmas. I had hoped that I might see him sooner, but the mid-tour leaves that he and his soldiers had been promised got canceled amid Pentagon budget cutbacks.

My sorrow was tempered by great pride as we traded goodbyes. He is a born leader. During recess, he was always the kid who organized the games. In high school, he played back-up quarterback. Now, at 25, he is a powerfully built, self-assured infantry first lieutenant who has breezed through some of the Army’s most rigorous training, including Airborne and Air Assault schools.

“Don’t worry,” he tells me. “I’ll be fine.”

I want so much to believe him.

Yet given the vagaries of modern combat, I know that my son’s rank and extensive preparation offer no guarantee of his safety in Afghanistan or wherever else he may end up.

He volunteered for this, I tell myself.

This is what he’s long wanted to do despite my efforts to persuade him otherwise. And it is his life.

None of that, however, assuages my concern for his well-being — nor, for that matter, my disdain for those who speak blithely of America’s need to prolong a costly and questionable approach to foreign policy without understanding the true impact on the warriors and their families, who shoulder the weight of that policy.

I thought about that when the story broke of Robert Bales, the Army staff sergeant accused of horrifically gunning down 17 civilians in Afghanistan. Bales has served under two commanders in chief without combat experience, and the vast majority of members of Congress who funded the two wars to which Bales was sent have themselves never heard a shot fired in war.

Mitt Romney, meanwhile, routinely vows that if elected, he will beef up defense spending so that “we” can continue to project freedom and democracy abroad. We? I am irked by his use of the collective pronoun, considering that neither he nor any of his five sons have ever been in the military.

Bales was on his fourth overseas deployment when he purportedly went on a homicidal rampage. No one at this point can say definitively to what extent, if any, his alleged actions were influenced by his combat record. But there is no denying reports that he was dismayed at having to go to Afghanistan after he’d already done three tours in Iraq.

Likewise, there is no denying the

reason why tens of thousands of other soldiers, Marines, sailors and airmen have had to go back again and again: because there simply are not enough of them to sustain the ambitions of tough-talking politicians, Republican and Democrat, who seem only too happy to pick fights and then let other people’s kids throw the punches.

Would upping defense spending, as Romney proposes, reduce the frequency of multiple deployments?

Perhaps. But heaving more money at the problem misses the point. It’s not just about how many people serve. It’s about who serves. And those who are serving in America’s all-volunteer military are typically not the children of the politicians who occupy the national stage.

About one in five current members of Congress is a veteran, but less than 1 percent of their offspring are. There are some notable exceptions, of course. One of John McCain’s sons was a Marine in Iraq.

Vice President Joe Biden’s son, Bo, put in a stint as an Army lawyer in Baghdad. Those who enlist today, though, are more likely to hail from a hardscrabble strata of society far distant from the halls of power.

Certainly those who join the military today know what they’re getting into — or should. Nobody’s twisting their arms. Some, including my solidly middle-class son, are motivated to join for patriotic reasons, or because they, like him, naively believe that getting shot at sounds like grand adventure. But I suspect that most enlistees, including Robert Bales, sign up also because getting shot at it means a steady paycheck in a down economy.

McClatchy-Tribune News Service

GARRETT PARK, Md. — s the 2012 Major League Baseball season opens, the game appears to be in good shape. The last eight seasons have produced the eight highest attendance totals in Major League history despite the economic downturn, which began in 2008. Forbes magazine reported that because of local television contracts the average value of 30 clubs increased 16 percent over the winter and reached a record $605 million per team. And yet, despite the financial records, there is plenty of evidence that, while financially successful, baseball is no longer America’s favorite sport.

Baseball no longer tugs at America’s heartstrings as it once did. Young people play the game less and less; and Major League Baseball has done little to encourage the young, beginning with the fact that most World Series games begin when smaller kids are in bed.

Baseball’s management and owners have become entirely corporate.

A

For their part, while the players may be great performers on the field, they are for the most part a lackluster lot off the diamond, either in their commitment to spreading the gospel of their sport or in their ability to connect to fans via their own personalities. Even spring training has become big business, rather than the informal prelude to the season of years past.

Baseball is sorely missing an element of fun and spontaneity, without which its appeal — despite its bulging revenues —treads on shaky ground. Today’s baseball badly needs what the great iconoclast Bill Veeck once brought to the game on a daily basis, the ability to connect deeply and personally with those who make the game possible — the players and the fans.

In the annals of baseball history, nobody was more creative, charismatic and controversial than Veeck. He was born into baseball in 1914. His sportswriter father became president of the Chicago Cubs when Bill was 4, and America’s pastime quickly became his lifelong passion.

In his first job, with the Cubs, he revamped Wrigley Field and, among other things, planted the ivy on the brick outfield walls. As a four-time Major League team owner Veeck was truly a transformational figure. He was a prime mover in the racial integration of the game, both on the field and in the front office — the first to integrate the American League when he signed Larry Doby to the Indians in 1947, just weeks after Jackie Robinson debuted with the Brooklyn Dodgers.

His innate understanding of what was right extended to his treatment of fans. Veeck made a habit of sitting in the cheap seats with his patrons; acting on their gripes, spontaneously picking a fan at random and dedicating a special night to him or her, he made coming to the ballpark pure fun. And Veeck thought nothing of lobbing verbal challenges at baseball’s establishment.

Nonconformist, visionary and showman extraordinaire, Veeck delighted in being everyman’s owner and demonstrated this with simple acts of piety, like standing outside the ballpark and thanking fans for

T

coming to the game. How stunning — and how appealing —would it be to find any baseball owner, or any player for that matter, doing this today.

Veeck’s combination of financial creativity and marketing genius was unlike anything else in the history of sports and drew in so many fans that he set records for ballpark attendance. When he died in 1986, former Detroit Tiger slugger Hank Greenberg, Veeck’s close friend and business partner, eulogized him, saying: “Bill brought baseball into the 20th century. Before Bill, baseball was just winning or losing. But he made it fun to be at the ballpark.”

But that was then, this is now and Veeck’s whimsical “exploding scoreboard” has been replaced with Jumbotrons bellowing commercials and over-amped recorded music between innings that try, and dismally fail, to be entertaining.

Baseball needs a maverick for the 21st century. Baseball needs another Bill Veeck!

— Paul Dickson is author of “Bill Veeck: Baseball’s Greatest Maverick.”

— Tom Friedman is a columnist for The New York Times.

— Victor Davis Hanson is a classicist and historian at the Hoover Institution, Stanford University.

The sons of Mitt Romney don’t have such concerns. Regardless of their patriotism, they each had many options beyond the military, thanks in no small measure to family money. The oldest helps run a private-equity firm. The youngest develops real estate in San Diego. Two other of Romney’s sons also work in property development or finance.

The fifth is a physician. They often appear en masse at photo opportunities celebrating Dad’s latest primary victory. Meanwhile, far from public view, other bands of brothers and sisters — soon to include my son — hunker down in faraway lands, sweating out mortar barrages and hoping not to set off improvised explosive devices.

I remind myself that statistics are on my side: Hundreds of thousands of other parents have gone through the emotional hell that my wife and I now face, and most of their kids came back OK. Still, I’m not sure how I’ll cope in the coming months. Will my heart race every time I hear a car stop outside the house, worrying that it has brought an Army casualty notification team? Should I try to keep abreast of developments overseas, worrying myself sick? Or should I purposely avoid the news in this paper and on TV, pretending all is well, that my son is OK, even if days have passed without a word from him?

One thing, though, I do know: My fears are something that neither Mitt Romney nor Barack Obama — nor most of this nation’s leaders — can ever fully comprehend.

Baseball could use a shot of Bill Veeck zaniness

By Paul Dickson

A Middle East twofer here is so much going on in the Middle East today, it’s impossible to capture it all with one opinion. So here are two for the price of one.

O P IN IO N ONE: Haaretz, the Israeli newspaper, reported last week that the imprisoned Palestinian leader Marwan Barghouti “released an unusual statement from his cell. He called on his people to start a popular uprising against Israel, to stop negotiations and security coordination and to boycott ((Israel)). Barghouti recommended that his people choose nonviolent opposition.” Barghouti, as Haaretz notes, “is the most authentic leader Fatah has produced, and he can lead his people to an agreement. … If Israel had wanted an agreement with the Palestinians it would have released him from prison by now.”

I had gotten to know Barghouti before his five life sentences for involvement in killing Israelis. His call for nonviolent resistance is noteworthy and the latest in a series of appeals to and by Palestinians — coming from all over — to summon their own “Arab Awakening,” but do it nonviolently, with civil disobedience or boycotts of Israel, Israeli settlements or Israeli products.

I can certainly see the efficacy of nonviolent resistance by Palestinians to the Israeli occupation of the West Bank — on one condition: They accompany any boycotts, sit-ins or hunger strikes with a detailed map of the final two-state settlement they are seeking. Just calling for “an end to occupation” won’t cut it.

Palestinians need to accompany every boycott, hunger strike or rock they throw at Israel with a map delineating how, for peace, they would accept getting back 95 percent of the West Bank and all Arab neighborhoods of East Jerusalem and would swap the other 5 percent for land inside pre-1967 Israel.

Such an arrangement would allow some 75 percent of the Jewish settlers to remain in the West Bank, while still giving Palestinians 100 percent of the land back.

By Palestinians engaging in nonviolent civil disobedience in the West Bank with one hand and carrying a map of a reasonable two-state settlement in the other, they will be adopting the only strategy that will end the Israeli occupation: Making Israelis feel morally insecure but strategically secure. The Iron Law of the peace process is that whoever makes the Israeli silent majority feel morally insecure about occupation but strategically secure in Israel wins.

Unabated, disruptive Palestinian civil disobedience in the West Bank, coupled with a map delineating a deal most Israelis would buy, is precisely what would make Israelis feel morally insecure but strategically secure and revive the Israeli peace camp. It is the only Palestinian strategy Prime Minister Bibi Netanyahu fears, but it is one that he is sure Palestinians would never adopt. He thinks it’s not in their culture. Will they surprise him?

OPINION TWO: One of the most hackneyed cliches about the Middle East today is that the Arab Awakening, because it was not focused on the Israel-Palestinian issue, only proves that this conflict was not that important. Rather, it is argued, the focus should be on Iran 24/7. The fact is, the Arab Awakening has made an Israeli-Palestinian peace settlement more urgent than ever for two reasons. First, it is now clear that Arab autocracies are being replaced with Islamist/populist parties. And, in Egypt, it is already clear that a key issue in the election will be the peace treaty with Israel. In this context, if Palestinian-Israeli violence erupts in the West Bank, there will be no firewall — the role played by former President Hosni Mubarak — to stop the flames from spreading directly to the Egyptian street.

Moreover, with the rise of Islamists in Tunisia, Libya, Egypt and Syria, Israelis and Palestinians have a greater incentive than ever to create an alternative model in the West Bank — a Singapore — to show that they, together, can give birth to a Palestinian state where Arab Muslims and Christians, men and women, can thrive in a secular, but religiously respectful, freemarket, democratic context, next to a Jewish state.

One reason the Arab world has stagnated while Asia has thrived is that the Arabs had no good local models to follow. Fostering such a model would be a huge, long-term asset for Israel and help to shape the world around it.

Charlotte Rogan, in front of her home in Westport, Conn., is on the verge of literary success with a critically praised debut novel, “The Lifeboat,” a tale she began crafting more than a decade ago.

Before fame, many years of quiet toil

By Julie Bosman New York Times News Service

WESTPORT, Conn.

— Charlotte Rogan does not have the impeccable resume of the typical precocious and talked-about writer. She has not attended the Iowa Writers’ Workshop, or lived in Brooklyn, or been chosen as one of “5 Under 35”— or under any age, for that matter.

Yet she is on the verge of literary success with a critically praised debut novel, “The Lifeboat,” a harrowing tale that Rogan began shaping more than a decade ago while she was living in Dallas raising her three children, a set of triplets, who are now in college. More than two years ago, Rogan pulled the manuscript out of a drawer, practically on a whim, and sent it to an agent, who put it in the hands of an editor at Little, Brown and Company.

A few months after her 57th birthday, Rogan signed her first book contract.

“It was unreal,” she said, drinking tea on a recent afternoon at the home here that she shares with her husband, Kevin Rogan. “I had no expectations. I do like the sense that it’s so surprising.”

“The Lifeboat” begins with an unnerving premise: in the opening pages, the narrator, a 22-year-old newlywed — and widow — named Grace Winter tells how she is on trial for her life for an event that unfolded during 21 days on a lifeboat, full of castaways stranded after the sinking of a luxury liner in the Atlantic Ocean.

The novel, published April 3

by Reagan Arthur Books, an imprint of Little, Brown, is already riding a wave of heady praise and early reviews. It carries sparkling blurbs by Emma Donoghue, the author of “Room,” and Hilary Mantel, the author of “Wolf Hall.”

Booksellers have predicted that it will become a hit among book club members, those prized word-of-mouth readers who have helped make best sellers out of novels like “The Help” and “The Paris Wife.”

Writing in The Guardian, Justine Jordan called it “a terrific debut novel,” a “fascinating portrait of a determined, free-thinking young woman, and an inquiry into the puzzle of personality.”

Writing in secret For Rogan, tall and chipper with sandy blond hair, her surprising success comes after more than 25 years of writing novels in secret, usually while her husband was at work and her triplets were at school.

Fiction was not a driving interest of hers when she was an undergraduate at Princeton in the early 1970s, where she was more captivated by architecture and engineering than anything else.

That changed around 1987, when Rogan signed up for a creative writing course at City College. For a novice, it was a crash course in discipline, in the grind of producing new

“The Lifeboat” steers clear of cannibalism, but it explores the same deeply chilling questions of survival, strength, life and death when trapped with a group of strangers after a shipwreck.

For her research, Rogan read several nonfiction accounts of seafaring. And writing about sailing came naturally, thanks to her memories from a childhood partly spent in Chicago, where she frequently joined her parents and siblings for weekend sails on Lake Michigan. Her job, she recalled, “was to stay out of the way and not fall overboard.” (Not all of her characters in “The work every week, and in fac- Lifeboat” would follow that ing rejection. advice.)

Rogan said. “There were times Dudley and Stephens, was when just the writing of it was especially intriguing. Dudley enough.” and Stephens were two starving castaways who, stranded on a lifeboat for weeks with Weekly Arts & little food, decided to kill and Entertainment In devour one of the other passengers. They were rescued four days later and later convicted of murder, establishing the principle that killing another person to save one’s own Every Friday life was not a valid defense.

A generation ago, young horror fans had to “read up” to adult authors such as Stephen King. Now novelists such as Barry Lyga are tailoring gore for a teen audience.

In “I Hunt Killers,” Lyga attempts one of the more daring concepts in recent years by a young-adult author. His multiple-murder mystery focuses on the son of a notorious serial killer who is forced to confront his fears that he will follow in his dad’s footsteps and must also reconcile his attraction to grisly deaths.

This extreme and utterly alluring narrative about nature versus nurture opens with the discovery of a naked woman’s body in a field on the outskirts of town. Seventeen-year-old Jazz Dent is observing the investigation from afar using a pair of binoculars he received as a gift from his dad before he was locked up — after committing 123 murders over a span of 21 years — for consecutive life sentences.

Jazz’s upbringing was alarmingly unusual. Raised on a steady diet of murder, he “had witnessed crime scenes the way the cops wished they could — from the criminal’s point of view.” The “trophies” in the Dent household included a lipstick, an iPod, a driver’s license and other mementos stashed in the basement rather than displayed on the mantle. Jazz’s brain felt “like a slasher movie.”

In real life, such a child would likely be institutionalized, universally reviled, or relocated and renamed to protect him. That isn’t the case in “I Hunt Killers,” which requires a leap of faith that Jazz has emerged from such an upbringing compassionate enough to have not only a best friend but also a girlfriend and the town sheriff as a surrogate father. Without these characters, however, Jazz would be too much of an anomalous freak. His knowledge of torture techniques alone would be too off-putting.

“I Hunt Killers” is not for the faint of heart. It’s clear from the book’s many grisly details that Lyga has done extensive research into the psychology and techniques of the serial murderer, and

he uses that knowledge liberally. The story is peppered with recalled bits of wisdom imparted from the man Jazz called Dad and the public knew as Butcher Billy.

At age 9, Jazz learned how to use quicklime to dissolve body parts. At 11, he was taught how to duplicate keys.

It’s unclear at what age he witnessed alternative uses for Drano, but all of this unseemly knowledge comes in handy when Jazz suspects the woman found in the field was the victim of a serial killer. When he shares his suspicion with the sheriff, however, he’s brushed off — until yet another dead body shows up in the otherwise sleepy town of Lobo’s Nod. Jazz thinks that if he helps catch the killer it might mean he isn’t one himself.

Whenever he finds himself fantasizing about murder, he repeats the mantra: “People matter. People are real. I will never kill.” Still, he isn’t entirely convinced.

Lyga does a good job of addressing the many questions and bizarre scenarios that are bound to arise in such an outrageous tale. Jazz is often asked why he didn’t stop his father, whom he describes as “a charismatic dragon who taught his child that society’s rules didn’t apply to him.”

Lobo’s Nod is often visited by victims’ families as well as serial killer groupies, both of whom seek out Jazz. Sometimes Jazz is able to chase visitors away. Other times, his grandmother, whom he’s been living with since his dad was locked up four years earlier, handles that. Jazz’s mother went missing long ago. It’s unclear whether she was murdered and, if she was, by whom.

That answer is likely to arrive in the second book of this creepily inventive page turner, and possibly on TV. “I Hunt Killers” has been optioned by Warner Bros. TV.

Frank Langella tells all Literary life of the in ‘Dropped Names’ TITANIC 100TH ANNIVERSARY

‘unsinkable ship’

By Nick Owchar Los Angeles Times

The best stories write themselves. That’s what authors often say. And the disaster of the RMS Titanic in April 1912 is one of these, so rich in perspectives and human interest — the social classes aboard, the elegance and technology of the ship, the disaster and missed chances to avert it — that the story seems to unfold with all the doom and precision of a Greek tragedy.

Michael Davie explores all the angles in his “Titanic: The Death and Life of a Legend” (Vintage), a 1986 book reissued for the centennial of the ship’s sinking on its maiden voyage.

Davie retrieves simple context that’s been lost (“People these days are inclined to think that the Titanic was a freak, a huge ship of unique size and luxury.

This misunderstanding underrates the scale of the enterprise.”) and tackles the myths in the disaster’s aftermath.

The same is true of Daniel Allen Butler’s “Unsinkable: The Full Story of the RMS Titanic” (Da Capo) and Deborah Hopkinson’s “Titanic: Voices from the Disaster” (Scholastic), both of which apply novelistic turns as they tell the story. (In Hopkinson’s case, her book is aimed at young readers, ages 8 to 12.)

It’s easy to forget — now that ships have water slides, rock-climbing walls and other amusement park frills — just how extraordinary the Titanic’s design truly was. But our sense of wonder is easily restored by the coffee-table-size “Titanic: The Tragedy That Shook the World — One Century Later” (Life Books). Here are photos of the stunning palatial public and private rooms and detailed, cutaway diagrams showing ev-

erything from the library to the squash racquet court.

John Welshman takes this idea of the Titanic-as-microcosm for “Titanic: The Last Night of a Small Town” (Oxford University Press), which examines the experiences of individual passengers because, he says, “all aspects of society were on the ship, rich or poor, male or female, old or young, generous or selfish.”

The word “selfish” comes up quite often in referring to J. Bruce Ismay, the Titanic’s owner, who was hounded until his death in 1937 because he jumped into a lifeboat with women and children. Frances Wilson’s “How to Survive the Titanic: Or, the Sinking of J. Bruce Ismay” (HarperPerennial) chronicles his life as an outcast.

Though Titanic drama seems tied to nonfiction, fiction writers haven’t resisted approaching it.

A realistic, canonical treatment is given by Beryl Bainbridge in a reissue of “Every Man for Himself” (Europa Editions), which follows the experiences aboard of J.P. Morgan’s nephew; much stronger elements of fantasy are part of Jack Steel’s thriller “The Titanic Secret” (Gallery) and William Seil’s “The Further Adventures of Sherlock Holmes: The Titanic Tragedy” (Titan Books), which finds the 19th century’s greatest detective aboard the ocean liner.

If you can read only one book, however, let it be “Titanic: First Accounts” (Penguin), in which editor Tim Maltin gathers classic inquiries and early testimonies from survivors. It is a stunning record of firsthand stories and early reports.

The book is full of anecdotes as chilling to read today as the North Atlantic waters were on that fateful night.

“Dropped Names: Famous Men and Women as I Knew Them”

by Frank Langella (Harper, 356 pgs., $25.99)

Emotions careen out of control in memoir “Burn Down the Ground”

by Kambri Crews (Villard, 352 pgs., $25)

By Linda Winer Newsday

Much has been written about Frank Langella’s voice — a sonorous, plummy seducer that suggests both sophistication and unnerving ambiguity.

So we shouldn’t be surprised, perhaps, that the actor writes with a voice just as distinctive and sure of itself in “Dropped Names: Famous Men and Women as I Knew Them.” What’s likely to surprise, however, is the content of this memoir — a gossipy, candid and occasionally creepy succession of brief, addictively entertaining chapters about intimate encounters (often sexual) with famous people (both genders, he implies, and all dead) through 50 years in theater and film.

If America had an old-time classical theater, Langella would be up there with the master thespians, a grand and gutsy performer of serious — if sometimes self-serious — majesty and an appetite for tasty slabs of scenery. At 74, he has three Tony Awards and much less hair than the beautiful escapee from Bayonne, N.J., who romanced late ’70s Broadway as a matinee idol in a Dracula cape.

It makes sense that the people who attracted him have been the glamorous, oversized stars of a style that few, alas, will soon remember.

By Joy Tipping The Dallas Morning News

Frank Langella, who has won three Tony Awards, has written a memoir, “Dropped Names: Famous Men and Women as I Knew Them.”

F. Kennedy laugh so hard at Noel Coward’s one-liners that the president pounded the table and begged him “to wait while he caught his breath.”

But the stories destined to make news, or at least raise eyebrows, come from less liberated times, when “famous older men in the closet had secret evenings to which all the young meat in New York was invited.” There also was the exclusive “private time” in Antigua and the Cape with Jackie Kennedy before she became an Onassis.

She was just nine years his senior, a rarity for the dash-

ing fellow recounting his lust, often consummated, for much — really, for the time, much — older women. There was Rita Hayworth, 56 to his 34, on location in Mexico.

Yvonne de Carlo, 52 to his 36, “treated me like a pretty girl in the backseat of a convertible on a hot summer night.”

Brooke Astor, at 95, was “still vital, still available.”

In 2001, there were nights with Elizabeth Taylor after her divorce from Larry Fortensky. Langella, in one of his less invasive memories of that relationship, describes her as “a small, sweet woman who wanted a man to be with her, protect her, and fill a void as deep as the deepest ocean.”

Around this time, late in the book, one wishes Langella had stopped a few chapters earlier. By the end, his nasty charm turns cruel and his revelations about others feel too private. Until then, however, sex scenes have the passionate mystery of the wind-on-the-curtain shots in the old movies he grew up adoring. And when he drops names, they bounce.

Kambri Crews’ debut memoir, “Burn Down the Ground,” places her firmly in the company of family-dysfunction specialists such as Augusten Burroughs, Jeannette Walls and, especially, Mary Karr, whose 1995 bestseller “The Liars’ Club” set the bar for tales of dirt-poor Southeast Texas upbringings.

The biting humor of “Burn Down the Ground,” along with the author’s smooth, natural storytelling, reflect her adult years — she’s been an actress, owns her own PR and production company, and is the comedy booker for 92YTribeca. She knows how to take even the most dire material and wring out of it a rueful chuckle.

The book’s title refers to the tradition of burning the brush and deadwood on long-neglected land: You have to destroy the past to give birth to something new. It’s an action, both literal and metaphorical, that her family takes repeatedly.

Crews’ childhood careens from near-normalcy and happiness, as when her parents scrape together a few hundred dollars to buy her a horse, to unimaginable deprivation: When the family’s house trailer is repossessed, the horse has to vacate its tin shack so the family can move in.

Jim Abbott: a one-handed pitcher’s finest moments “Imperfect: An Improbable Life”

by Jim Abbott and Tim Brown (Ballantine, 288 pgs., $26)

By Chris Erskine Los Angeles Times

Like so many young men, Jim Abbott grew up wanting to fit in with everybody else while simultaneously wishing to be celebrated for being uncommonly adept at something/anything. In Abbott’s case, he was adept at baseball, a game difficult enough with two hands. Abbott was born with just one. This is his story, of dreaming of being twice as good with half the tools.

If this whole notion seems a little pat, give Abbott a chance.

For the former Angel’s new book, “Imperfect,” is an uncommonly compelling coming-of-age story. In an era of crooks and thugs, this very human memoir may do for baseball what “The Blind Side” did for football’s big-lug linemen.

Abbott’s back story: He was born without a right hand to struggling young parents who had the good sense to love him but not coddle him. His father, who had an impressive high school sports career of his own, repeatedly spun the boy around and pushed him back to playgrounds full of taunting schoolmates.

It was on those playgrounds that Abbott would prove himself just as able — and often more capable — than the others. A screaming “cut” fastball and prodigious poise would make him a prep sensation and then an All-American at the University of Michigan.

The story of his life, from sandlot oddity to gold-medal Olympian to Major League sensation after being drafted by the Angels, is told against the backdrop of a no-hitter Abbott threw for the Yankees in 1993. Details of his upbringing and ensuing career are sandwiched between chapters on the Yankee Stadium triumph.

This is not the first time such a device has been used. Few things in life build with the ghostly drama of a no-hitter,

the fans and teammates rallying around the Man of the Moment, each pitch more important than the last.

But what really elevates “Imperfect” is Abbott’s realization, once he turns pro, of the impact he is having off the field.

That missing hand — the thing that tormented him as a child, the thing he tucked in a pocket so that he looked like everyone else — becomes part of his arsenal as well. As Abbott’s star rises, so does his role as champion to disabled youngsters.

“I didn’t see them coming, not in the numbers they did,” he writes. “They were shy and beautiful, and they were loud and funny, and they were, like me, somehow imperfectly built. And, like me, they had parents nearby, parents who willed themselves to believe that this accident of circumstance or nature was not a life sentence, and that the spirits inside these tiny bodies were greater than the sums of their hands and feet.”

Where this book really sings is in these moments, when the kids think Abbott is inspiring them when it is often the other way around, all of it deftly handled by co-writer Brown, whose big league storytelling skills are evident throughout.

Abbott’s eventual career slide, which takes him to New York, Chicago and Milwaukee and last-ditch minor league stints in Winston-Salem, N.C., and Birmingham, Ala., is also chronicled here.

In reverse of a no-hitter, where success builds, each failure of a declining player seems to beget another failure. Free of major injury, Abbott sees his fastball desert him, and it is as if the strapping pitcher has been cursed all over again. Did too many cutters take their toll on his arm? Did too much time in the weight room rob it of its natural snap?

No one knows. As Abbott realizes, the hitters’ bats will tell you when it’s time to go, and they did.

Baseball junkies will take delight in Abbott’s reaction to George Steinbrenner’s claim that, while with the Yankees, Abbott hurt his performance by spending too much time visiting kids. Abbott scoffs at the notion, noting that those interactions were primarily done on days when he wasn’t pitching.

There is also some good inside-baseball stuff on Abbott’s super agent, Scott Boras. Abbott, who is unfailingly appreciative to all those who helped him along his journey, has a more bittersweet opinion of the in-your-grill agent.

Dodgers Manager Don Mattingly is in here a bit, as the Yankees’ rock-solid first baseman during the no-hitter, and Angels’ PR guru Tim Mead gets plenty of props as the conduit between Abbott and the youngsters who needed him.

Also coming in for praise is sports psychologist Harvey Dorfman, who has no patience for Abbott when he slips into moments of self-pity toward the end of his career.

Life is full of curveballs, in baseball and out. Life is challenging enough when you seem to have all the tools. Abbott reminds us that no one really has all the tools, or all the breaks. And this bighearted memoir makes a winning argument that the only way to handle misfortune, as novelist Cormac McCarthy is fond of noting, is to treat it as the peculiar and propelling gift it can be.

Novel a classic mix of Tyler’s themes “The Beginner’s Goodbye”

by Anne Tyle (Alfred A. Knopf, 208 pgs., $24.95)

By Mary McNamara Los Angeles Times

When you pick up a novel

by Anne Tyler, you can expect certain things. It will be set in Baltimore. It will follow families populated by out-of-step characters ranging from the slightly odd to the wildly eccentric, whose actions, or non-actions, are motivated by a need for love and tangible sense of self; this need is sometimes conscious, sometimes not.

It will have a provocative, often seemingly contradictory title — “The Accidental Tourist,” “Saint Maybe,” “The Amateur Marriage,” “Breathing Lessons.” It will be a pleasure to read.

“The Beginner’s Goodbye,” Tyler’s 19th novel, features all of these things and more — there is a ghost — and less; just over 200 pages, it is, both in literal weight and narrative complexity, lighter than most of the Tyler canon. Which should not be construed as “less,” at least not in the pejorative sense of the word.

In many ways, “Goodbye” feels like the center slice of an Anne Tyler novel, a distillation. The plodding horse/eccentric main character here is Aaron Woolcott, whom Tyler has endowed with symbolism both physical and professional.

Aaron works at the vanity press his great-grandfather established, publishing, among other things, a series of books aimed at beginners: “The Beginner’s Guide to Wine,” “The Beginner’s Book of Dog Training.”

Hence this book’s title, and hence its almost novella-like nature, at least in comparison with Tyler’s other works, which often span decades and generations. “The Beginner’s Goodbye” confines itself to months, specifically the months following the death of Aaron’s wife, Dorothy.

The two are in the middle of an ordinary marital moment when a tree falls on the house, inflicting wounds on Dorothy from which she eventually dies and wounds on Aaron from which he eventually learns how to live.

Continued from F1 After about 20 minutes, he asked Ainsley to lie on a table.

There he performed a lengthy physical exam that involved testing the strength in Ainsley’s arms and legs while she held small glass vials filled with compounds like cortisol, estrogen and sugar. (Kinesiologists believe that weak muscles indicate illness, and that a patient’s muscles will test as weaker when he is holding a substance that contributes to health problems.)

Finally, he asked Ainsley to sit up. “It doesn’t test like it’s her own estrogens,” Allomong reported to Tracee, meaning he didn’t think Ainsley’s ovaries were producing too many hormones on their own.

“I think it’s xeno-estrogens, from the environment,” he explained. “And I think it’s stress and insulin and sugar.”

“You can’t be more specific?” Tracee asked, pleading.

“Like tell me what crap in my house I can get rid of?” Allomong shook his head.

On the ride back to Fort Collins, Tracee tried to cheer herself up thinking about the teenage suffering that Ainsley would avoid. “You know, I was one of those flat-chested girls at age 14, reading, ‘Are You There God? It’s Me, Margaret,’ just praying to get my period. Ainsley won’t have to go through that! When she gets her period, we’re going to have a big old party. And then I’m going to go in the bathroom and cry.”

Starting early In the late 1980s, Marcia Herman-Giddens, then a physician’s associate in the pediatric department of the Duke University Medical Center, started noticing that an awful lot of 8- and 9-year-olds in her clinic had sprouted pubic hair and breasts. The medical wisdom, at that time, based on a landmark 1960 study of institutionalized British children, was that puberty began, on average, for girls at age 11. But that was not what HermanGiddens was seeing. So she started collecting data, eventually leading a study with the American Academy of Pediatrics that sampled 17,000 girls, finding that among white girls, the average age of breast budding was 9.96. Among black girls, it was 8.87.

When Herman-Giddens published these numbers, in 1997 in Pediatrics, she set off a social and endocrinological firestorm. Along with medical professionals, mothers, worried about their daughters, flocked to Herman-Giddens’ slide shows, gasping as she flashed images of possible culprits: obesity, processed foods, plastics.

Meanwhile, doctors wrote letters to journals criticizing the sample in Herman-Giddens’ study. (She collected data from girls at physicians’ offices, leaving her open to the accusation that it wasn’t random.) Was the age of puberty really dropping? Parents said yes. Leading pediatric endocrinologists said no. The stalemate lasted a dozen years.

Then in August 2010, the conflict seemed to resolve. Wellrespected researchers at three big institutions — Cincinnati Children’s Hospital, Kaiser

Permanente of Northern California and Mount Sinai School of Medicine in New York — published another study in Pediatrics, finding that by age 7, 10 percent of white girls, 23 percent of black girls, 15 percent of Hispanic girls and 2 percent of Asian girls had started developing breasts.

Now most researchers seem to agree on one thing: Breast budding in girls is starting earlier. The debate has shifted to what this means. Puberty, in girls, involves three events: the growth of breasts, the growth of pubic hair and a first period.

Typically the changes unfold in that order, and the process takes about two years. But the data show a confounding pattern.

While studies have shown that the average age of breast budding has fallen significantly since the 1970s, the average age of first period has remained fairly constant, dropping to only 12.5 from 12.8 years.

Theories abound So why are so many girls with no medical disorder growing breasts early? Doctors don’t know exactly why, but they have identified several contributing factors.

Girls who are overweight are more likely to enter puberty early than thinner girls, and the ties between obesity and puberty start at a very young age. Body mass index and pubertal timing are associated at age 5, age 3, even age 9 months.

This fact has shifted pediatric endocrinologists away from what used to be known as the critical-weight theory of puberty — the idea that once a girl’s body reaches a certain mass, puberty inevitably starts — to a critical-fat theory of puberty. Researchers now believe that fat tissue, not poundage, sets off a feedback loop that can cause a body to mature.

As Robert Lustig, a professor of clinical pediatrics at the University of California, San Francisco’s Benioff Children’s Hospital, explains, fatter girls have higher levels of the hormone leptin, which can lead to early puberty, which leads to higher estrogen levels, which leads to greater insulin resistance, causing girls to have yet more fat tissue, more leptin and more estrogen.

In addition, animal studies show that the exposure to some environmental chemicals can cause bodies to mature early.

Of particular concern are endocrine-disrupters, like “xenoestrogens” or estrogen mimics.

These compounds behave like steroid hormones and can alter puberty timing.

Family stress can disrupt puberty timing as well. Girls who from an early age grow up in homes without their biological fathers are twice as likely to go into puberty younger as girls who grow up with both parents. Some studies show that the presence of a stepfather in the house also correlates with early puberty.

Social problems don’t just increase the risk for early puberty; early puberty increases the risk for social problems as well. We know that girls who develop ahead of their peers tend to have lower self-esteem, more depression and more eating disorders. They start

drinking and lose their virginity sooner. They have more sexual partners and more sexually transmitted diseases.

Researchers know there’s a relationship between pubertal timing and depression, but they don’t know exactly how that relationship works. One theory is that going through puberty early, relative to other kinds of cognitive development, causes changes in the brain that make it more susceptible to depression. Julia Graber, associate chairwoman of psychology at the University of Florida, offers a broader hypothesis, perhaps the best understanding of the puberty-depression connection we have for now.

“It may be that early maturers do not have as much time as other girls to accomplish the developmental tasks of childhood. They face new challenges while everybody else is still dealing with the usual development of childhood. This might be causing them to make less successful transitions into adolescence and beyond.”

Over the past year, I talked to mothers who tried to forestall their daughters’ puberty in many different ways. Some trained with them for 5-kilometer runs (exercise is one of the few interventions known to help prevent early puberty); others trimmed milk and meat containing hormones from their daughters’ diets. Yet sooner rather than later, most threw up their hands.

Adding to the anxiety is the fact that we know so little about how early puberty works. A few researchers, including Lustig, are even beginning to wonder if many of those girls with early breast growth are in puberty at all. True puberty starts in the brain, he explains, with the production of gonadotropin-releasing hormone, or GnRH. “There is no puberty without GnRH,” Lustig told me. GnRH trips the pituitary, which signals the ovaries. The ovaries then produce estrogen, and the estrogen causes the breasts to grow. But as Lustig points out, the estrogen that is causing that growth in young girls may have a different origin. It may come from the girls’ fat tissue or from an environmental source.

“I know they can’t change the fact that their daughter started developing early, but they can change what happens downstream.”

— Louise Greenspan, pediatric endocrinologist at Kaiser Permanente in San Francisco

“And if that estrogen didn’t start with GnRH, it’s not puberty, end of story,” Lustig says.

The possibility that these early “normal” girls are reacting to estrogens that aren’t coming from their ovaries is compelling. Part of the comfort is that a girl who is not yet in puberty may not have developed an adolescent brain.

This means she would not yet feel the acute tug of her own sexual urges. She would not seek thrills and risk. Still, the idea that there are enough toxins or fat cells in a child’s body to cause breast development is hardly consoling.

Besides, some of the psychosocial problems of early puberty derive from what’s happening inside a girl’s body; others, from how people react to her.

“If a girl is 10 and she looks 15, it doesn’t make any difference if her pituitary is turned on or if something else caused her breast growth,” says Frank Biro, lead author of the August 2010 Pediatrics paper and director of adolescent medicine at Cincinnati Children’s Hospital.

“She looks like a middle adolescent. People are going to treat her that way. Maybe she’s not interested in reciprocal sex, but she might be pressured into sex nonetheless, and her social skills will be those of a 10-year-old.”

Support and care So what are families of early bloomers to do? Doctors urge parents to focus on their daughters’ emotional and physical health rather than on stopping or slowing development. In this way, the concept of a new normal is not just a brushoff but an encouragement to support a girl

who is vulnerable.

“I know they can’t change the fact that their daughter started developing early, but they can change what happens downstream,” Louise Greenspan, a pediatric endocrinologist at Kaiser Permanente in San Francisco and a co-author of the August 2010 Pediatrics paper, told me. Parents can keep their daughters active and at healthy body weights. They can treat them the age they are, not the age they look. “Most of the psychological issues associated with early puberty are related to risk-taking behaviors,” Greenspan continued, and parents can mitigate those.

“I know it sounds corny and old-fashioned, but if you’re in a supportive family environment, where you are eating family meals and reading books together, you actually do have control.”

In Fort Collins, Tracee tried to stay focused on the positive. At one point during my visit, she disappeared into her basement, the headquarters for her company, TGR Body, and returned with a pink hatbox filled with chemical-free samples of Peppermint Pimple Popper and Bad Hair Day Miracle Powder.

“I just want to be part of the solution,” Tracee said, rubbing a sample of silver hair-streaking gel on my wrist. “I’m so tired of running away. I need to have something Ainsley is moving toward.”

Patience and perspective may be the greatest palliatives. “The thing with puberty is that everybody is going to go through it at some point,” another mother told me. Three years ago this woman was installing small trash cans in her third-grade girl’s school bathroom stalls so that her daughter could discreetly throw away menstrual pads.

But now that daughter is 12, in the sixth grade; her body seems less strange. “I feel so much better, and so does she.

By another two or three years down the road, all the other girls will have caught up.”

Eluding a barrage of spam texts

Amazon a corporate scrooge?

JOBLESS IN CENTRAL OREGON

By Eric A. Taub New York Times News Service

“Do you need up to $1,300 today?” I was recently asked. Except for perhaps Mark Zuckerberg, who doesn’t?

Unfortunately this question wasn’t asked by a friend; rather, it came to me in a spam text on my cellphone.

The offer was for a “payday loan,” a type of highinterest cash advance that many states have banned.

And that wasn’t the only thing about the message that was questionable from a legal perspective.

Spam text messages, like spam emails, are illegal to send to consumers who haven’t actually asked for them. Under the federal Can-Spam Act, companies must follow certain guidelines when sending bulk commercial electronic messages, whether they’re emails or texts.

In January, CTIA, the wireless industry’s trade association, wrote to the Federal Communications Commission complaining about a recent onslaught of political spam texts, from both major parties. And following the links in some spam texts can ensnare you in scam subscriptions that show up on your phone bill, or even infect your phone with malicious software.

Spam text messages are easy for businesses and charlatans to generate.

They’re not tapped out by individuals using mobile phones, but often come from computers, using programs that send out texts to every conceivable telephone number, automatically.

To do so, they send an email using a phone number and the mobile service’s texting address.

For example, to send a text message from a computer to a Verizon mobile subscriber, you would take the phone number and append @vtxt.com. AT&T, Sprint, T-Mobile and others have their own similar text message addresses.

If you are signed up to receive texts from a legitimate company and decide you no longer want them, you can typically unsubscribe by texting “stop” back to the sender. But to spammers, this is often just a signal that your number is valid.

Tips for the unemployed Remain active while not working by volunteering, attending school and informational interviews.

As part of your job search:

When applying for a job:

At the job interview:

Tell family, friends and people you meet that you’re looking for work; search the Web daily; have your résumé ready; deliver your résumé to businesses where you want to work.

Submit a résumé along with the company’s standard application; follow up on applications; keep phone messages brief and professional.

Be on time, look the interviewer in the eye and shake hands firmly but briefly; ask questions and show enthusiasm; answer questions directly and truthfully; have driver’s license, Social Security card and birth certificate. Thank the interviewer for his or her time, through a note or phone call.

California’s money fish is squid • Conservationists want to put limits on catch, which fishermen say will cripple their cash flow

By Tony Barboza Los Angeles Times

LOS ANGELES — As the sun sets over the ocean, the six crewmen on the Cape Blanco are starting a long night’s work off the far side of Santa Catalina Island, putting on orange slickers and hard hats to fish for the milky white mollusks that have become California’s most valuable catch.

Below the gentle waves off the side of the boat swims an immense school of market squid.

Capt. Nick Jurlin, pacing impatiently with a cigarette dangling from his mouth, is eager to pull in as much of it as possible.

Five nights a week, the third-generation fisherman from San Pedro steps into a pair of rubber boots and hunts for squid along the Southern California coast. The 50-year-old with spiky blond hair and wraparound sunglasses looks the part of a man who’s wrestled with nets in the salty air since he was a teenager.

Autumn fog shrouds Santa Catalina Island as Capt. Nick Jurlin’s squid boat slips past to join around 10 other fishing boats where they know they can find squid.

Jurlin says a bill moving through California legislature to further protect sardines, anchovies, herring and market squid, which would cripple the fishing fleet.

profit officials say it can be difficult to find someone at Amazon to even talk with them. Other business leaders say they’re hard-pressed to name examples of Amazon playing a significant role on broader public issues.

And while Amazon’s logo smile appears on billions of boxes that criss-cross the globe, neither that smile nor its name can be seen on a single building at its sprawling new campus in Seattle’s South Lake Union area. The company won’t even acknowledge how many employees it has in the area.

Squid

MillerCoors’ sweet hopes for sour beer

Continued from G1 On a night like this, the 90-foot steel vessel can bring in as much as $50,000 worth of the seafood so popular worldwide that all but a fraction is shipped overseas to be served as calamari.

But for the Cape Blanco and dozens of squid fishing boats working out of ports like San Pedro and Monterey, the boom is an uncertain one. Doubts are emerging about how long one of California’s last remaining money fish will stay bountiful.

By Eric Gorski The Denver Post

The catch Though Jurlin and his crew are four hours from shore tonight, they are not alone.

Rocking in the waves around them are a dozen other purse seiners beginning the same ritual: encircling the darting mass of tentacled, hot dog-sized sea creatures with huge nets that will be cinched up like the drawstring of a purse.

A flotilla of smaller boats assists by following the swarms and coaxing them to the surface with 30,000-watt lanterns that light up the ocean with an otherworldly green and white glow.

On Jurlin’s signal, a deckhand swings a hefty metal bar above his head and slams it into a pelican hook, freeing a clunky metal skiff that plunges into the water and rumbles away, its motor filling the night air with exhaust.

Each man takes his position on the Cape Blanco’s deck, working among strained cables and ropes as thick as fire hoses. A hydraulic winch whirs, engines roar and propellers gurgle as a tangle of black netting, yellow floats and steel rings tumble into the water off the back of the boat. The skiff tows it all in a wide circle around the squid, trapping the school.

Most of the world’s market squid is harvested from California’s shallow waters, where they gather in enormous schools each year to mate, deposit their eggs on the seafloor and die.

Cold ocean conditions have drawn them in such numbers lately that fishermen have handily caught their 118,000-ton limit — enough to fill 60 Olympic-sized swimming pools — and the state has shut them down early two years running. Surging demand in China, Japan, Mexico and Europe has boosted prices and launched a fishing frenzy worth more than $70 million a year.

The good times have drawn the attention of conservationists, who fear such abundant catches are threatening the foundation of a delicate marine food web. Groups like Oceana and Audubon California are pushing for new protections for squid, sardines, anchovies, herring and other small, schooling prey known as “forage fish.�

A bill moving its way through the California Legislature would require the state to leave more small fish in the water for seabirds, whales, dolphins and other natural predators to feed on.

Those like Jurlin, whose families have fished these waters for generations, say a smaller catch could be crippling.

Boat Captain Nick Jurlin’s crew with squid sliding down their chute into the hold as they make the round trip from San Pedro, Calif., to the west side of Santa Catalina Island on the Cape Blanco.

Some of the 70 tons of squid lie in Jurlin’s hold. Ocean conditions have attracted thousands of squid to California’s shallow waters. Fishermen have handily caught their 118,000-ton limit.

Deckhand Seth Adler gathers fishing net In the fog.

All in a day’s pay During the squid season, Jurlin pushes off each afternoon from Terminal Island, where a few other purse seiners dock along a waterfront of weedy and abandoned lots where street names — Sardine, Cannery and Wharf — reflect a fish-packing industry that is largely gone.

He follows the squid from the Channel Islands to San Diego, setting out net after net and returning before dawn the next morning.

Tonight he motors along the backside of Catalina as his crewmen eat spaghetti and watch baseball in the galley.

Many, like Jurlin, are the sons or grandsons of fishermen.

It isn’t long before they bring in their first net.

Frigid water falls in sheets from the net as it is pulled through a giant hydraulic pulley towering above the deck.

The men pile it into a slippery mound, slowly corralling the squid closer to the boat.

Whether stacking rings or piloting the skiff, each crewman is dedicated to a single task. There is no conversation.

It is dangerous, straining work and they focus with intense precision.

By the time Jurlin and several deckhands reach over the side of the boat to gather the last bunches of loose net, their bright slickers are drizzled with black ink from the squid.

Fishing for squid can

be good money, but it is unpredictable.

The boat’s owner, Tri Marine Fish Co., takes half the earnings, and the crew divides the rest. For a good night’s work, deckhands can earn well over $1,000 and the captain and engineer even more.

On a bad night, they might catch enough to cover fuel.

In the off-season, the fishermen sew up nets, make repairs and paint the boats — without pay. A few months of the year, they make a little money fishing for sardines.

But without squid, there are no big paychecks.

‘Rape and pillage’?

Squid fishing exploded in the 1990s when worldwide demand jumped. Over the last decade, the California Department of Fish and Game has kept the fishery in check with catch limits, a ban on weekend fishing and a cap on the number of squid boats.

Squid come and go in cycles, streaming to shore when waters are cold and vanishing during warm El NiĂąo periods.

And they live just a year, making it difficult for scientists to assess the health of their population. Conservation groups, in saying current limits are too permissive, point to research saying those huge fluctuations make small species like squid particularly vulnerable to collapse.

The industry says Cali-

fornia’s regulations already guard against overfishing and don’t need to be changed.

Standing at the helm in the dark, Jurlin studies a glowing grid of navigation screens and electronic fish finders.

He sips coffee and watches for diving birds and sea lions — nature’s squid detectors. He talks to himself to stay awake and keeps a running dialogue on the radio with friendly boats to gather intelligence on fishing spots.

Like many fishermen here, Jurlin is a descendant of immigrants, born into the profession.

His grandfather was an illegal immigrant from Croatia who jumped ship in Canada and made his way to San Pedro to fish almost a century ago. Jurlin’s father fished, and his grandmothers and mother packed tuna back when the San Pedro waterfront was alive with canneries.

Jurlin started working on Alaskan salmon vessels as a teenager and bought his first boat when he was 21.

Over the past 30 years, he and his wife have raised two daughters, bought a condo in downtown Long Beach and a second home in Arizona.

Squid has paid for it all.

He has staked his future on being able to continue. When the first squid upswing hit 16 years ago, he bought his own seiner. During this boom he put his two sons-in-law aboard to learn the profession. “We’ve been hitting it pretty good, but it’s sustainable,� he said. “We get a bad rap from the environmentalists.

They’ll tell us there’s no fish, and we’ll come out here and see incredible amounts. They say we want to rape and pillage the ocean. But this is our livelihood.�

As is so often the case lately, Jurlin and his crew are catching so much squid so quickly that it strains buyers in San Pedro, who can only fit so much in their freezers.

So tonight, each vessel can load up with just 70 tons before returning to the docks, where workers will pump the squid ashore and slop it into plastic-lined boxes.

Forklifts will wheel it into warehouse-sized blast freezers, where it will be prepared for shipment to Asia. From there, it will be processed and shipped around the world, some back to restaurants in California.

It’s just before midnight when the captain of a fellow squid boat, the Ferrigno Boy, radios to report he has caught too much. Could the Cape Blanco suck up the surplus? “Okey-dokey,� Jurlin responds, setting down the radio. “That’s it. Another day in paradise.�

GOLDEN, Colo. — In a corner of the Coors empire, in what used to be a storage room for bags of malt, a group of brewers is experimenting with beer that never will be advertised during the Super Bowl.

Look closely at an oak barrel, and you’ll notice a sticker from the Belgian brewer Cantillon, a source of inspiration. The humming sound is from exhaust fans partly responsible for bringing Coors Light to the masses.

The beers slowly aging in the barrels are funky second cousins to the Silver Bullet — part of a wave of mouth-puckering yet drinkable sour beers capturing the interest of craft brewers and drinkers.

Consumers are about to get their first taste of the efforts at AC Golden, the MillerCoors craft beer incubator best known for Colorado Native lager.

Limited quantities of three sours — an apricot, cherry and peach — will be available in 750-ml bottles exclusively at Mile High Wine and Spirits in Lakewood later this month for about $21.99 each. “The biggest reason we are doing this is we like to drink these,� said AC Golden brewer Troy Casey, 28, part of a younger generation of Colorado brewers.

The brewery acquired its first barrels three years ago and kept its work quiet — one reason it became known as the Hidden Barrel Project. “... Probably the biggest reason was that we didn’t know if we were going to make a drinkable product,� said Casey.

Sours encompass a family of beers, fermented with unpredictable wild yeast and bacteria, that are expensive and time-consuming to brew.

The Boulder-based Brewers Association recognizes 13 variations of Americanstyle sours. A whiff of a sour beer inspires descriptions such as barnyard, funky, horsey — and, yes, baby vomit.

And this is supposed taste good? Yes, that is the point, Casey said: to create enjoyable sours.

To brew the Apricot, AC Golden starts by fermenting a “base beer� in stainless steel tanks — a lowalcohol neutral beer Casey likens to a blank canvas.

Next, the beer is moved into the barrels.

The brewers then add the co-conspirators: multiple strains of the wild yeast brettanoymces and various Lactobacillus, an acidifying bacteria that produces the sour character.

After eight to 10 months in the oak, brewers shovel in 120 pounds of Palisade apricots per oak barrel, displacing a lot of beer.

About three months later, what emerges is a super-dry, slightly hazy, balanced not overwhelmingly fruity beer that is only 5.5 percent alcohol by volume, very drinkable for being so complex.

Spam

Amazon

Continued from G1 And if you’re not on an unlimited texting plan, you’ve now paid for two texts: the one received and the request you sent to cancel.

“You can always filter out emails,” said Jason Devitt, chief executive of Mr. Number, a company in Palo Alto, Calif., that markets a mobile app to stop spam texts. “The problem is that anyone in the world can make your phone ring or display a text, if they have your phone number.”

Continued from G1 When the Puget Sound Business Journal named Amazon founder and Chief Executive Jeff Bezos “Executive of the Year,” he was a no-show at a January 2011 luncheon to honor him.

Larry Dohrs, vice president of Newground Social Investment, a Seattlebased firm that is pushing Amazon to disclose more information about its political spending, said Amazon’s leaders “have a tendency to want to consider themselves a startup in a garage, when in fact they’re not a startup in a garage anymore.”

“They’re really quite a mature and influential player. And with maturity and influence comes responsibility,” Dohrs said.

Jan Drago, a former member of both the Seattle City Council and the Metropolitan King County Council, was blunter.

“I think it’s fair to suggest that they take a bigger role in the civic life of their home.”

In a city noted for its bigtime philanthropy, Amazon has been a small-time donor.

Use your carrier’s tools To stop spam texts, there are several basic steps to take, regardless of which mobile carrier you use.

First, you can report the spam to the carrier. If you’re an AT&T, T-Mobile or Verizon subscriber, copy the text and send it to SPAM (7726). You’ll then receive another text asking for the sender’s phone number. Neither message will incur a charge.

A spate of apps are available for Android phones that offer enhanced spam-text blocking features; a few are mentioned below. (Because of Apple’s restrictions on developers, similar apps are not available for the iPhone.)

For those who don’t want to download an app or are using an iPhone, the carriers offer various spam-blocking services.

AT&T: Unlike its competitors, AT&T charges customers who want to selectively control text messages. For $4.99 a month, customers can subscribe to its Smart Limits for Wireless service, which is primarily intended to control your children’s use of text messaging.

With Smart Limits you can designate up to 30 numbers to block, and designate how many texts can be sent. If you’re not using an iPhone, you can also set times of day during which texts can be received.

Sprint: To stop texts, Sprint customers can text various commands to 9999. The range of options is wide. For example, customers can block all messages from one Internet domain, like example.com, by texting “block @ example. com.” Specific email addresses can be blocked by texting “block” followed by the address, while text senders who use numeric short codes can be stopped by texting “block” and then the code.

Similarly, customers can create a list of email addresses from which they’d like to receive messages by substituting “allow” for “block.”

A complete list of Sprint commands can be found at bit.ly/xL1USV. T-Mobile: T-Mobile subscribers can block all text messages at no charge, but cannot selectively block texts from specific senders — with one exception.

If spammers are using PCs to send text messages, users can block specific ones based on content. To do so, you use the email and Text Tools tab on the T-Mobile website to set up filters that look for specific words in the “from,” “to,” and “subject” fields.

Verizon: The nation’s largest carrier offers perhaps the most extensive palette of spam-blocking tools, and does so at no charge.

Verizon customers can block unwanted messages from individual cellphone numbers as well as email addresses by using the company’s Spam Controls tools, found in the Verizon Safeguards area of its website (see bit.ly/y0aBLV).

Up to 15 email addresses and Internet domains, plus five phone numbers, can be blocked from sending text, picture or video messages. All blocks expire after 90 days but can be reinstituted by revisiting the Spam Controls page.

Use a nickname Both AT&T and Verizon allow customers to create an account nickname; users can then give this nickname to friends and block all text messages sent to their regular mobile number.

For example, if you’re an AT&T customer and you create the nickname “hatespam,” your friends would text you at hatespam@txt.att.net. A Verizon customer who created that name would have friends text her at hatespam@vtxt.com.

The downside: your texting friends will need to know both your mobile nickname and your mobile carrier.

It’s ‘unusual’ Though Amazon is a Fortune 500 company, you won’t find the company’s name on the rosters of major donors to such venerable local nonprofits as the Alliance for Education, Seattle Art Museum and United Way. The Seattle Times also found no record of significant Amazon donations to the Seattle Symphony, Washington’s Special Olympics, YMCA of Greater Seattle or Forterra, a prominent conservation group formerly called the Cascade Land Conservancy.

Jan Levy, executive director of Leadership Tomorrow, which teaches civic leadership skills, says that while some Amazon employees have gone through her training program, they told her they covered their own costs.

“That’s unusual. Most large corporations pay for their participants’ tuition,” she said. “My colleagues in the nonprofit community have made similar comments about Amazon — they’re noticeably absent from civic involvement.”

Since 2009, Amazon has helped some 80 writers groups in the U.S., including 19 in the Puget Sound region, with grants of about $25,000, and it gave the University of Washington $51,000 over a three-year period.

But critics note that Amazon’s support of writers groups coincides with the growth of its publishing business.

And besides, they say, these are small sums for a company with a cash pile of $5 billion and more than $1,500 in sales every second.

Bezos declined repeated requests for interviews for this story, and Amazon did not make other executives available.

After last summer’s annual shareholder meeting, where Drago, the former city and county council member, quizzed Bezos about his company’s community involvement, he made clear that he believes Amazon can do the most good by doing good business.

“Our core business activities are probably the most important thing we do to contribute, as well as our employment in the area,” Bezos said.

In a 2010 interview with PBS’ Charlie Rose, Bezos expressed doubt that philanthropy was the best way to solve social problems.

“I’m convinced that in many cases, for-profit models improve the world more than philanthropy models, if they can be made to work.”

He noted that Amazon’s e-book reader, the Kindle, might be seen as a lowcost, efficient way to distribute books worldwide to the underserved.

Vulcan Real Estate commissioned three aluminum sculptures by University of Washington professor Jamie Walker, including “Beacon,” for a plaza at the Amazon campus in Seattle. Foot traffic in South Lake Union has skyrocketed since the campus opened.

Meet Bezos In many ways, Amazon’s culture is shaped by Bezos’ beliefs and background.

Bezos, 48, grew up in a family that valued self-reliance. His father fled Cuba as a boy. And Jeff Bezos spent his childhood summers laying pipe, vaccinating cattle and fixing windmills on his grandfather’s South Texas ranch.

In 1994, he was working for a New York City hedge fund when he learned about the rapid growth in Internet use and quit his well-paying job to start Amazon in a small Bellevue house. Under a then-new U.S. Supreme Court ruling, online retailers don’t have to collect sales taxes in states where they lack a physical presence, so Washington’s small population appealed to him.

“He wanted a majority of his customers to not have to pay sales tax,” said early Amazon investor Nick Hanauer, co-founder of Seattle venturecapital firm Second Avenue Partners.

In 2010, Bezos contributed $100,000 to help defeat Initiative 1098, which sought to impose a state income tax on Washington’s wealthiest residents.

“There’s almost nothing I could have predicted with more precision than that Jeff would hate the idea,” said Hanauer, an advocate for I1098. “He’s a libertarian, and I am not.”

Unlike Amazon, Bezos and family members have begun to make large, high-profile personal donations.

Bezos, who ranks 13th on Forbes’ list of the wealthiest Americans, donated $10 million in August for an innovation center at Seattle’s Museum of History & Industry, followed by $15 million in December to his alma mater to establish the Bezos Center for Neural Circuit Dynamics at the Princeton Neuroscience Institute.

Two years earlier, the Bezos Family Foundation, his parents’ nonprofit, pledged $10 million to the Fred Hutchinson Cancer Research Center.

Amazon, by contrast, makes its philanthropic mark not by giving cash, but by “letting charities use its technology to raise money,” said Stacy Palmer, editor of the Chronicle of Philanthropy.

In 2001, within days of the Sept. 11 attacks, Amazon set aside space on its home page for customers to make Red Cross Donations. In total, the company says, customers have donated more than $35 million to global relief programs since then.

“That’s helpful, but it’s not the same things as a company making lots of grants,” Palmer said. “Charities need a mix of things.”

She compares Bezos to the late Apple co-founder Steve Jobs.

“It’s not just that Steve Jobs didn’t publicly give away money. But also, some of the comments he made suggested he was skeptical of philanthropy,” Palmer said. “He saw Apple’s products as improving society and making a difference. And it’s only now (that Jobs is gone) that Apple is offering matching grants.”

Less than a mile from Amazon’s headquarters lies one of the world’s largest philanthropic organizations: the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation.

Microsoft co-founder and Chairman Bill Gates, who was criticized early on for not being involved in the community, is outspoken these days on the notion that companies benefit if they make giving back to society part of their mission. Not only is it a great way to stand out and be noticed, he says, but it also helps in hiring talented workers.

“People today — especially young people — want to work for organizations they feel good about,” Gates said last year at an event organized by the United Way. But Gates’ philosophy isn’t shared by all. Paul Schervish, director of Boston College’s Center on Wealth and Philanthropy, says much of today’s corporate philanthropy is mere marketing — so common that it doesn’t help a

company stand out.

“Philanthropy for a corporation is not necessarily the most moral or important thing to do with your time, talent and treasure,” Schervish said.

He says that people running companies can show their moral standing in other ways, such as behaving responsibly toward employees, customers and suppliers, paying taxes and complying with laws.

But increasingly, Amazon has come under fire in many of those areas.

Branded a tax bully by critics, Amazon faces political battles around the country over its efforts to avoid collecting sales taxes on purchases made on its website — a key competitive edge against bricks-and-mortar retailers.

Since 2008, more than a dozen states, including California, New York, Illinois and Texas, have enacted or considered laws to end tax-free sales online. Amazon fought back with lawsuits or threats of shutting down warehouses, but it has begun to cut deals with states to start collecting those taxes.

Amazon also received a public-relations black eye over conditions at some of its warehouses, which employ thousands of blue-collar workers.

A Pennsylvania newspaper found that ambulances were parked outside an Allentownarea warehouse last summer, waiting to take away workers who wilted in the 100-degreeplus temperatures inside.

And it caused something of a furor when the company offered a $5 holiday discount to shoppers who used its mobile app to scan products in local stores and then buy them from Amazon instead. Sen. Olympia Snowe, R-Maine, denounced the December promotion as “an attack on Main Street businesses.”

Dohrs, of Newground Social Investment, argues that Amazon could provoke a backlash by customers and even some employees if it doesn’t change its ways.

“When you get big, you run the risk of being arrogant.

And boy, everybody loves bringing down the arrogant guy,” Dohrs said.

Evidence of a backlash might already be emerging. Working Washington, a new coalition founded by the Service Employees International Union, has launched a months-long campaign to draw public scrutiny to the company’s labor practices and tax policies.

Activists appeared recently at a Seattle Design Review Board meeting where officials discussed Amazon’s proposal for new office buildings.

“The more they’re talked about as a model for the future of Seattle, we have a responsibility to say, ‘What does that actually mean for the people who work for them and the places where they do business?’” said Sage Wilson, a Working Washington spokesman.

In 2009, the construction

of Amazon’s South Lake Union headquarters was considered a pivotal event in Seattle’s history. Amazon not only would change the physical face of the neighborhood, said then-Mayor Greg Nickels, but it also represented a new economic hope for the city in the midst of the Great Recession.

The official groundbreaking ceremony, on a bright April morning, drew the mayor and the governor. Notably missing were Bezos or any other Amazon executives.

It wasn’t the first or last time that people in the community would be left wondering: Where is Amazon?

“I’m not aware of what Amazon does in the community.

It’s not a name that comes up often in the nonprofit organizations I’m involved with,” said University of Washington regent Sally Jewell, chief executive of Kent, Wash.-based outdoor-gear retailer REI.

What Amazon’s doing Recently the company has been seen taking some steps toward greater involvement in its hometown.

In January, Amazon pledged to establish two, $1 million endowed professorships at UW to help the computer-science department lure a pair of “superstars” in machine learning, and Bezos “personally spent time with them” in Seattle, Lazowska told the Seattle Times last week. He said the deal evaporates if the two professors don’t come to UW. In the past year — as The Seattle Times began looking into its charitable giving and shortly after Drago questioned Bezos at the company’s annual shareholder meeting — Amazon reached out to more than 30 local nonprofits, offering volunteers, in-kind donations and small, often unsolicited, cash contributions.

Amazon gave between $1,000 and $10,000 to a wide array of local nonprofits, from the Pike Place Market Foundation to the Rainier Valley Food Bank.

“It was kind of out of the blue,” said Jennifer Watkins, public-relations manager at Seattle Children’s Theatre, which received $2,500 from Amazon in September. “Our development department had written to Amazon asking for support and was denied. So when this showed up, everyone was pleasantly surprised.”

Last August, the company chipped in $10,000 to sponsor the South Lake Union Block Party, a fundraiser for two local charities, YouthCare and FareStart. Amazon representatives handed out fliers under a tent to recruit technology workers, touting the company’s “beautiful, ecoconscious, dog-friendly campus” and data-driven culture.

“We all knew they were there, but you didn’t see people from Amazon at meetings about community issues” until recently, said Joncas, of the Downtown Seattle Association. “They were busy just doing business.”

Archery business on target

• Film ‘The Hunger Games’ popularizes bow-wielding sport

By Tiffany Hsu Los Angeles Times

LOS ANGELES — Archery had long been relegated to the realm of men in tights, apples atop heads and junior high summer camp.

Then came “The Hunger Games.”

The hit young-adult trilogy debuted in 2008, starring a heroine in a post-apocalyptic future who wields a bow and arrow to survive in gladiator-style contests. Key to the plots are several of Katniss Everdeen’s dramatic shots and the increasingly advanced designs of her bows and arrows (including explosive shafts), as well as the rebellious symbolism of her archery skills.

The highly anticipated film adaptation has broken the record for first-day advanced ticket sales set earlier by teen favorite “The Twilight Saga: Eclipse.”

The archery industry is among the beneficiaries of “Hunger Games” mania, attracting new fans such as Aldrin Gamos, 23, of Northridge, Calif.

“In our world, archery isn’t something you’d really need day to day,” Gamos said, “but

Workforce Co n tinued from G1 Last year, the overall unemployment rate was 9.4 percent.

But 19 percent of youth ages 16 to 24 were unemployed, said Carolyn Eagan, regional economist for the Oregon Employment Department, compared to about 11 percent in 2007.

Guy Tauer, another regional economist for the Employment Department, said the 16-to-24 age group has higher unemployment and has lost more employment than other age groups.

“It’s one of the groups that has suffered the greatest,” he said. “Looking at hiring data and total employment, the younger you are the worse the recession has impacted you.”

Overall private sector employment fell 9.6 percent from the first quarter of 2008 over the first quarter 2011, Tauer said. But employment dropped 46 percent for the 14-to-18 age group, 20.4 percent for 19to-21-year-olds and by 14.7 percent in the 22-to-24 group.

He noted that those 55 and older saw slight gains in total employment.

Older workers are hanging onto their jobs longer and delaying retirement, he said, which doesn’t provide opportunities for youth.

“It’s an employer’s market,” he said. “They can pick the most skilled and experienced, (putting) people that don’t have much work experience at a disadvantage.”

Citing the Bureau of Labor and Statistics, Tauer said in 2011, Oregon had the seventhhighest percent of unemployed teens in the country.

According to the article “Vanishing work among U.S. teens 2000-’10 ... ,” prepared by the Center for Labor Market Studies at Northeastern University, the nation’s teens experienced more job losses

the way it’s described in the books made it sound so cool.”

Gamos usually spends his recreational time playing video games or in front of his computer, but is now so enamored with the “Hunger Games” books that he’s orga-

nizing his friends for a group visit to a shooting range in Los Angeles.

“Before, I knew that it had existed,” he said of archery, “but had no interest at all.”

Ranges that used to attract just a handful of hobbyists are

than any other age group over the past decade, followed by young adults ages 20 to 24.

In 2000, teens were more than twice as likely to have a job than ages 65 to 69, but by June 2010, the employment likelihood for the two age groups was nearly even.

“The more teens work in their teenaged years, the more they will work in their early to mid-20s,” the article stated.

“Reduced teen work experience will lower their employment as young adults.”

In Oregon, young adults have access to federally and private funded programs that provide job training and work.

The Heart of Oregon Corps, the umbrella organization that operates five different programs, aims to link youth in the tricounty area with community service, economic and educational advancement opportunities, said Amy Mentuck, director of development for The Heart of Oregon Corps.

“The decline in the job market leads to greater competition,” Mentuck said. “Young people without job skills, training or professional experience are competing with an older population they have not traditionally competed for jobs against before.”

Mentuck said applications to the five Heart of Oregon Corps programs have doubled in the past five years, reaching about 650 applicants last year.

Slots were available for only about half, she said.

Not only are many young job seekers being crowded out by older workers, she said, but the Central Oregon economy has suffered disproportional job losses in industries that typically employ young workers such as lodging, food services, retail and entry level administrative.

After filling out about 20 applications and completing four interviews, Lederer said

he was selected to work for The Heart of Oregon Corps’ Clean Energy Service Corps Program. According to The Heart of Oregon Corps’ website, youth ages 18 to 24 gain work experience, get training and develop skills in weatherization and green building by spending three to four days per week alongside construction professionals and community volunteers. They also earn $2,775 for college or a technical training institute with successful completion of the program, along with a $250 living stipend per week, Mentuck said.

For Lederer, the struggles didn’t stop when he found a job through the program. While he managed to save up a little money living with his parents, and received a grant through the program, it wasn’t enough to cover his bills, go back to school and pay rent. Lederer said he put the money toward paying off student loans and other debts instead of rent.

“I owned a Toyota with a canopy so I lived in the back of my truck for about four months while I worked for (the corps) and went to (Central Oregon Community College),” he said.

After participating in Heart of Oregon Corps programs, Lederer said he was able to save up enough money to rent a home with some friends and has been able to pursue his de-

“It’s about being optimistic, staying persistent and being resilient,” he said. “There’s a lot of people going through rough times. I feel lucky and grateful for the things I do have.”

Brandon Kone, 22, also found work through the Clean Energy Service Corps Program.

When Kone moved to Bend in early 2011, he struggled to find work for about three months.

“In this day and age, it’s harder to meet face to face with an employer because applications are online,” he said, “which makes it harder to stand out with your application.”

Kone said he applied for about 25 jobs over the threemonth period. He said he heard back from about a quarter of the employers, but they could only offer him a few

bow and arrow, as did aliens in “Avatar” and characters in lesser successes inspired by Greek mythology: “The Lightning Thief,” “The Immortals” and “Clash of the Titans.”

And coming up: Pixar’s animated “Brave” and comicbased “Avengers,” both of which have main characters who are archers.

“The movie industry has definitely had an impact on us,” said Joe Kim, owner of HiTech Archery in Fullerton, Calif. “It seems like Hollywood is very intrigued these days with the bow and arrow.”

Archery ranges like Kim’s, which would feel like a warehouse if not for the massive stuffed and mounted bison and deer heads, are busier than ever. Cypress, Calif., resident Mary Robbins, 19, was there practicing this week with her father, who introduced her to the sport.

“Lately, all my friends seem to be asking me how to shoot, how to get into archery,” she said. “It’s just kind of strange that, even though I’ve been shooting for a year and a half, all of a sudden now everyone’s starting to get interested.”

hours a week, which wasn’t enough for him to support himself. To cover his car payment and insurance during his search, Kone also had to move back in to his parents’ Bend home.

“It’s usually the low-skill jobs that are most available,” he said. “It was frustrating having ambition and a good work ethic (because) it’s hard to find jobs that will reward your effort and evolve your skills.”

Without the program, Kone said he wouldn’t have been able to afford the certification or training he needed to land a full-time job in the clean energy building field, weatherizing and building energy efficient homes — an industry he’s passionate about.

After completing one term in the program, he found work at a Bend alternative-construction company. Now in his second term, Kone is earning money as a crew leader to

help pay for school. He plans to return to full-time work and complete his degree in archeology after the The Heart of Oregon Corps program ends.

“Normally, attendance fluctuates throughout the year, with fewer people in the colder months,” said Gary Spiers, president of the Pasadena, Calif., club, which has used the same outdoor range near the Rose Bowl since 1935. “There would have been empty spots.

“But this year, there’s been consistently high interest. We’ve had to turn people away.”

Sales of archery equipment have increased more than 20 percent in the past year, according to figures provided by the Archery Trade Association, and at the group’s annual show in January there were 20 percent more exhibitors. Representatives of major athletic companies, including clothier Under Armour, were spotted perusing the show.

VOLKSWAGEN TOUAREG TDI

It’s pretty, but is it worth it?

Elevation can allow for lower octane mance, driveability and fuel economy.

By Mark Phelan

By Paul Brand

Detroit Free Press

Star Tribune (Minneapolis)

The 2012 Volkswagen Touareg TDI is a fine $52,355 luxury SUV that raises the question: Why on Earth is Volkswagen selling a $52,355 SUV? That’s less of a head-scratcher in Europe than America.

Many Europeans — especially Germans — think of VW as a premium brand, a clear step up from the likes of Chevrolet, Ford, Honda, R E V I E W Hyundai and Toyota.

By contrast, most Americans expect Volkswagens to be inexpensive, if not downright cheap. That’s why the company just introduced less-expensive versions of its Jetta and Passat sedans here.

The Touareg team at VW headquarters in Germany must not have gotten the memo about cutting costs, slashing prices and competing with Chevy, Ford, Honda and Toyota. The diesel Touareg TDI Lux I tested was clearly developed, built and equipped to compete with luxury SUVs like the BMW X3, Cadillac SRX, Infiniti FX, Lexus RX, Lincoln MKX and MercedesBenz ML. The Touareg is a very nice vehicle, but pitting the VW badge against the BMW roundel, Cadillac wreath and crest or Mercedes star is bringing a knife to a gunfight.

Moreover, VW already has a luxury brand: Audi. The Q5 is a terrific small luxury SUV. It’d be even better with the Touareg TDI’s powerful and fuel-efficient 3.0-liter V-6 diesel.

Despite that, the Touareg TDI has some strong selling points. Its 7,710-pound towing capacity is more than double what the X3, SRX, Terrain, FX, RX and MKX offer.

The Touareg has more passenger and cargo space than the Audi, BMW, Cadillac, GMC and Infiniti. Its EPA fuel economy rating of 19 mpg in the city, 28 on the highway and 22 in combined driving beats all but the Mercedes ML350 Bluetec diesel.

If you can get your head around paying Mercedes-level money for a Volkswagen,

McClatchy-Tribune News Service

The 2012 Volkswagen Touareg TDI was clearly developed, built and equipped to compete with luxury SUVs.

2012 Volkswagen Touareg TDI Lux Base price: $$43,375 (gas); $46,875 (diesel); $61,110 (hybrid) As tested: $52,355 (diesel) Type: All-wheel drive fivepassenger, five-door SUV Engine: 3.0-liter, 24-valve, DOHC, narrow-angle V-6 with FSI direct injection; 280 hp, 265 lbs/ft of torque Mileage: 19 mpg city, 28 mpg highway

there’s plenty to like about the Touareg TDI: fuel economy, looks, interior fit and finish, and handling.

The 2012 Touareg is all new. It’s lighter and sportier than its predecessor, which was VW’s first real SUV. For the second generation, VW dispensed with the gear required for extreme off-roading. The Touareg shed up to 350 pounds, depending on the model.

The 2012 Touareg is bigger and has more interior room than its predecessor. All Touaregs have full-time all-

wheel drive.

Prices for the 2012 Touareg start at $43,375 for a base model with a 280-horsepower 3.6-liter V-6 and eight-speed automatic transmission.

Diesel models have a turbocharged 225-horsepower 3.0liter V-6 and the same gearbox. Prices start at $46,875.

VW also is offering a hybrid Touareg for the first time. It has a 380-horsepower powertrain that combines a 3.0-liter supercharged V-6, nickelmetal hydride batteries and an electric motor.

The hybrid system is essentially the one in the Porsche Panamera luxury car and Cayenne SUV. Porsche developed the hybrid system for itself, VW and Audi. That helps explain the Touareg hybrid’s eye-watering $61,110 base price. All prices exclude destination charges.

I tested a Touareg TDI Lux that cost $52,355. Its features included a touch screen to control the navigation, audio and other systems and good voicerecognition for Bluetooth hands-free phones. It lacked blind spot alert and a backup camera, features you might expect above $50,000.

How to wring last miles out of truck I bought a 2002 GMC Q: Sierra 2500 HD two years ago at 150,000 miles. It now has 190,000 miles with no problems. What maintenance steps should I be concerned with at this point?

— Chris Poston It sounds like your truck has had good maintenance and prudent use to be so trouble-free. If not done previously to your knowledge, I’d look into flushing and renewing brake, power steering and transmission fluids and engine coolant; renewing rear and front differential fluids; and inspecting engine, transmission and exhaust system mounts. These fluids are often neglected and, along with rubber parts, can’t be expected to last forever. Front suspension and steering parts such as shock absorbers, ball joints, the idler arm and tie rod ends may also be getting loose or sloppy, affecting tire wear and crisp handling.

At this mileage, it’s reasonable to expect some issues on the horizon. If the Sierra is equipped with the 6.0-liter gasoline engine, you may someday encounter leaking intake manifold gaskets or coolant, which could leak externally or into crankcase. A valve job and timing-chain re-

A:

trip in Montana, I noticed their regular is 85.5 octane and their next level up is 88 octane with 10 percent ethanol. I used a half-tank of 85.5 and noticed no difference, but after reading the owner’s manual about 87 or better, I used the 88 octane for as long as I was in Montana. Why does Montana rate theirs at 85.5, and would it have made a difference in the long run if I used that rating?

As I said in a recent column, a key measure of octane is the fuel’s resistance to pre-ignition or detonation.

In other words, higher-octane fuels require more heat and pressure to ignite. At higher elevations, air is less dense, meaning fewer air molecules per cubic foot of air that is drawn into an engine. Less dense air effectively lowers the compression ratio of the engine, meaning the cylinder will develop less heat and pressure during the compression cycle. That means a lower-octane fuel can be used without pre-ignition and/or detonation.

The Montana Weights and Measures Bureau has this to say: “While the minimum antiknock rating in Montana is 85.5 for regular unleaded fuel, that is not necessarily what is found. Due primarily to competition and/or multiple suppliers of refined products, regular unleaded gasoline found in western and northeastern Montana usually has an octane rating of around 87.0. Central and southern Montana’s fuel octane rating is generally found to be between 85.5 and 86.0.”

Since your vehicle apparently operated well on the lower-octane fuel at those altitudes — no worries. Today’s computer-controlled engine management systems will adjust fuel-air mixture and ignition timing to safely operate on a variety of octane ratings.

And remember this axiom: Operate your vehicle on the lowest-octane fuel that provides good perfor-

placement will likely be needed some time down the road; it’s best if all are done together at the same time. Keep driving until any of these become an issue.

Sierras of this vintage equipped with the 6.6-liter diesel engine are known for some problems with the fuel injectors. Regular fuel filter replacement and an occasional dose of Sea Foam additive will help keep the injectors happy.

The standard-duty 4L60E transmission is known for a few issues at high mileage, including valve body wear, which causes jarring shifts between first and second gears.

This activates the “check engine” light with trouble code P1870; it’s moderately inexpensive to repair. Reaction sun shell failure, meaning no reverse, second or fourth gear, is another possible issue and requires transmission overhaul. Drive it until something breaks. The more robust 4L80E transmission should last as long as the rest of the truck.

I’m a fan of vehicles with high mileage for their age.

Odd are these are highway miles, and they’re by far the easiest on a vehicle. Loafing along mile after mile in fourth

gear sure beats the constant shifting, potholes and starts and stops a city vehicle encounters. Let’s see if you can hit 300,000 without too much trouble.

I have a 2007 Buick LaQ: Crosse CXL. The door locks cycle off and on at different times. Also, I may lock the car and when I come back to it the doors may be unlocked.

Do you have any suggestions?

— C. Underwood The best way to diagnose this is to connect a professional-grade scan tool and observe the body control module inputs, particularly those of the door lock switches and lock cylinder switches, for erratic activity. It will certainly be difficult to not to blink or nod off at the wrong time, as the fault occurs intermittently.

Possible aids include wiggling keys slightly in the locks, and gently massaging the door panel switches.

If no input activity is seen but the door locks continue cycling, another ploy is to temporarily unplug the remote control door lock receiver. If the symptoms subside, this part may be faulty.

The Touareg has a wide stance and sleek profile. The new model’s longer wheelbase provides good legroom and a useful 32.1 cubic feet of luggage space behind the rear seat. The interior is quiet and trimmed in attractive materials.

The electrically assisted power steering is precise and provides good feedback. The suspension cushions rough surfaces and holds the Touareg secure on winding roads. The SUV is maneuverable and fun to drive, though less sporty than the X3 or Q5.

The turbodiesel generates 406 pound-feet of torque from just 1,750 rpm for prompt acceleration. The diesel is only slightly louder than a gasoline engine. The eight-speed automatic transmission shifts quickly and smoothly.

The 2012 is a huge improvement from its overweight, over-priced predecessor, and an able competitor to several midsize luxury SUVs. Whether that makes it an under-the-radar stealth fighter or the right product from the wrong brand may depend on what you think the VW badge is worth.

dome light came on while I was driving, and now it does not turn off. It does not turn off with the headlights or with the manual on/off switch, and it does not dim after a few seconds upon leaving the car. It finally turns off after about 10 minutes of leaving the car parked. What could be wrong?

The body control module, or BCM, has extensive self-diagnostic capability that a scan tool can read as fault codes. Check for codes from the door-ajar switches or the smart junction box.

Right now, the interior lights are finally being turned off by the battery-saver function.

A:

I have a 1998 Honda Q: Civic with 47,600 miles. When I straighten the steering wheel after making a left-hand turn I occasionally hear a “ping.” Is this a cable in the steering column?

What is the problem, and how much would it cost to have repaired? I’m now unemployed, so I’ve put off having this checked out.

The most likely cause of a “ping” or “clunk” in the steering/suspension is a worn component such as a strut bushing, control arm bushing, ball joint, steering rod end or upper strut bearing. A loose steering rack or a worn U-joint in the steering column might cause noise when straightening the steering wheel. There are no structural cables in the steering system.

There’s no way to know what’s causing the noise or the potential cost of repair without having the steering and suspension checked by a professional. I’d suggest making an appointment at a reputable tire shop or a dealer for an inspection and estimate. This could be a safety problem, so don’t put this off.

What is the most important information I should know about ADVAIR DISKUS? ADVAIR DISKUS can cause serious side effects, including: 1. People with asthma who take long-acting beta 2 -adrenergic agonist (LABA) medicines, such as salmeterol (one of the medicines in ADVAIR DISKUS), have an increased risk of death from asthma problems. It is not known whether fluticasone propionate, the other medicine in ADVAIR DISKUS, reduces the risk of death from asthma problems seen with salmeterol. 𰁴𰀁𰀁𰀁Call your healthcare provider if breathing problems worsen over time while using ADVAIR DISKUS. You may need different treatment. 𰁴𰀁 Get emergency medical care if: - breathing problems worsen quickly and - you use your rescue inhaler medicine, but it does not relieve your breathing problems.

2. ADVAIR DISKUS should be used only if your healthcare provider decides that your asthma is not well controlled with a long-term asthma control medicine, such as inhaled corticosteroids.

3. When your asthma is well controlled, your healthcare provider may tell you to stop taking ADVAIR DISKUS. Your healthcare provider will decide if you can stop ADVAIR DISKUS without loss of asthma control. Your healthcare provider may prescribe a different asthma control medicine for you, such as an inhaled corticosteroid.

4. Children and adolescents who take LABA medicines may have an increased risk of being hospitalized for asthma problems.

What is ADVAIR DISKUS? 𰁴𰀁𰀁𰀢 𰀥𰀷𰀢𰀪𰀳𰀁 𰀥𰀪𰀴𰀬𰀶𰀴𰀁 𰁄𰁐𰁎𰁃𰁊𰁏𰁆𰁔𰀁 𰁂𰁏𰀁 𰁊𰁏𰁉𰁂𰁍𰁆𰁅𰀁 𰁄𰁐𰁓𰁕𰁊𰁄𰁐𰁔𰁕𰁆𰁓𰁐𰁊𰁅𰀁 𰁎𰁆𰁅𰁊𰁄𰁊𰁏𰁆𰀍𰀁 fluticasone propionate (the same medicine found in FLOVENT®), and a LABA medicine, salmeterol (the same medicine found in SEREVENT®).

- Inhaled corticosteroids help to decrease inflammation in the lungs. Inflammation in the lungs can lead to asthma symptoms.

- LABA medicines are used in people with asthma and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). LABA medicines help the muscles around the airways in your lungs stay relaxed to prevent symptoms, such as wheezing and shortness of breath.

These symptoms can happen when the muscles around the airways tighten. This makes it hard to breathe. In severe cases, wheezing can stop your breathing and cause death if not treated right away. 𰁴𰀁𰀁𰀢 𰀥𰀷𰀢𰀪𰀳𰀁𰀥𰀪𰀴𰀬𰀶𰀴𰀁𰁊𰁔𰀁𰁖𰁔𰁆𰁅𰀁𰁇𰁐𰁓𰀁𰁂𰁔𰁕𰁉𰁎𰁂𰀁𰁂𰁏𰁅𰀁𰀤𰀰𰀱𰀥𰀁𰁂𰁔𰀁𰁇𰁐𰁍𰁍𰁐𰁘𰁔𰀛𰀁 Asthma ADVAIR DISKUS is used to control symptoms of asthma and to prevent symptoms such as wheezing in adults and children aged 4 years and older.

ADVAIR DISKUS contains salmeterol (the same medicine found in SEREVENT). LABA medicines, such as salmeterol, increase the risk of death from asthma problems.

ADVAIR DISKUS is not for adults and children with asthma who are well controlled with an asthma control medicine, such as a low to medium dose of an inhaled corticosteroid medicine.

COPD COPD is a chronic lung disease that includes chronic bronchitis, emphysema, or both. ADVAIR DISKUS 250/50 is used long term, 2 times each day to help improve lung function for better breathing in adults with COPD. ADVAIR DISKUS 250/50 has been shown to decrease the number of flare-ups and worsening of COPD symptoms (exacerbations).

What’s your Sunday kind of love?

Slipstream is on your own label, Redwing Records. Why did you put it out yourself?

Because I can! I have a pretty solid base of fans.

I like the control, and this way if we’re messing up, money, entertainment, and more at least it’s our own fault. I used to say I didn’t want to talk weasel [deal with the business end].

But I’m really WHEN JANIS driving my career.

You made it a point to cut out drinking a while ago.

I thought I had to live that partying lifestyle in order to be authentic, but in fact if you keep it up too long, all you’re going to be is sloppy or dead. I recently had my 25th anniversary of sobriety. I was one of the lucky ones. Seeing Whitney Houston pass away, and Amy Winehouse—everyone smiled at her “Rehab” song, but for me it was heartbreaking to hear her sing that because it just looked like she was on a slippery slope.

We’ve been together seven years now. He’s great, but that’s all I can say. You know, [it’s like] the Sippie Wallace song that goes, “Don’t advertise your man.”

Your red hair and its streak are one of your signatures. Is it natural?

The silver-white streak is natural. I was 24 [when it came in] and you can sort of see it on album covers.

By 1981 it was expanding and my red was fading, so I started dyeing my hair [around the streak]. No one else in my family has it. I’ve been told it means you’ve been kissed by an angel.

Do you like touring?

I love it. But when I went through a lot of loss [Raitt’s parents died in 2004 and 2005, and she lost a brother to a long battle with cancer], I took a hiatus. I’m just watching the pace, keeping a nice balance. If my memory serves me well, I’ve already made it. [laughs] How do you get comfortable on the road?

Our tour bus becomes a second home. Email really helps me stay in touch with friends and save my voice.

But I have to remember to get off the laptop and onto the yoga mat.

Blessings COUNTING HER

How do you keep going when your perfect life has been shattered?

In an excerpt from her new memoir, plane crash survivor Stephanie Nielson recounts how unshakable faith, and her family’s abiding love, gave her strength on the long road back.

n the summer of 2008, Stephanie Nielson, 27, was married to the man of her dreams, raising four beautiful children in Mesa, Ariz., and putting out a popular blog devoted to her life as a wife, mother, and Mormon. The NieNie Dialogues attracted millions of followers and— with its tasteful craft projects and decorating ideas—the attention of the editors of marthastewart.com. But all that would come crashing down—literally—on Aug. 16, when the small plane carrying Stephanie, her husband, Christian, and a friend, pilot Doug Kinneard, hurtled to the ground in St. Johns, Ariz., and exploded in a ball of flame. Kinneard died; Christian was burned over 40 percent of his body; and Stephanie, trapped in the backseat, suffered burns over 80 percent of hers.

Airlifted to the Arizona Burn Center in Phoenix, Stephanie spent 11 weeks in a medically induced coma as doctors worked desperately to keep her alive. Christian recovered nearby; the couple’s children—Nicholas, Oliver, Jane, and Claire, ranging in age from nearly 2 to 6—were cared for by two of Stephanie’s sisters, Courtney and Lucy, in Provo, Utah. That November, Stephanie finally awoke to the voices of her mother and her sister Page. This is her story, in her own words.

her close-knit family, which includes eight siblings. Despite constant, excruciating pain, she started physical therapy, while enduring endless surgeries to help heal her burned skin.

One day in late November, with a nurse at each arm and a physical therapist to hold my clumsy, swollen feet, I finally stood. The nurses helped me rock back and forth on the edge of the bed and eventually got me to my feet, which were wrapped in bandages and so swollen I looked like a clown. My feet seemed like they weren’t even attached to my body, as if a wire had been disconnected and the signal had been lost. I could not get them to obey.

But there I was, standing—for the first time in almost four months. The nurses then helped me into a wheelchair to take me on my first trip to the physical therapy room. Every joint screamed. When I complained about the wheelchair, the nurse

gently pointed out that if I learned to walk I wouldn’t have to ride.

I nodded and smiled, but seethed inside. Really? I wanted to pull her hair.

WHILE STEPHANIE was progressing physically, emotionally she still faced huge hurdles. Her physician made it clear that one condition of her discharge was that she look at herself in a mirror. But she simply couldn’t do it. One late night in December, Christian came into her room with a hand mirror and gently urged her to look.

word settled heavy on my chest.

I took another deep breath.

Maybe it wasn’t so bad, I thought.

I’m overreacting. Determined, I picked up the mirror again. It was bad. My cheeks were covered with bloody scabs. Half of my left ear was burned completely off.

My face scared me; it would scare anyone. I could never let my children see this. How could they ever love me? My sisters would have to keep my children forever. I would need to be put away somewhere, away from human contact, for the rest of my life.

I knew the world didn’t accept people like me. People were relentlessly critical and rude, or sickeningly condescending. I never wanted to be seen again. Then I tipped the mirror up. My green eyes looked back at me, and hope rippled through my soul.

These were the green eyes I had inherited from my father, with golden flecks that Christian loved. I caught my breath. I saw God in my eyes. I saw reassurance. I even saw a glimpse of triumph. I was still me. Those eyes were mine. The life I saw in them came from God, and that gave me hope for the life of my body.

STILL, STEPHANIE dreaded letting her children see her. In fact, she so stubbornly refused that one day her husband and sisters simply showed up at the hospital with the kids, insisting that Stephanie let them into her room. Oliver, who was almost 4, went first and seemed unfazed.

I took a deep breath and turned the mirror over. I started at my bandaged chest and worked my way up. My neck looked like the skin on Christian smiled. “You’re doing my arms, scarred and blotchy. I kept great, Steph.” He nodded encourgoing. I looked at my chin, then my agingly, and then went to bring lips. Could those be my lips? They Jane in. She was so excited she let were huge.

y body was covered in bandages. My fingernails were black. My burned lips were so swollen I could see them in my peripheral vision. I hadn’t seen my husband in almost four months.

I had been on the brink of death, flatlining twice in the helicopter on the way to the hospital and a few more times once I’d arrived. I’d been in such critical condition that the doctors performed my first operation in my own bed. Moving me to the OR was too risky.

I had been in surgery as often as my body would allow—every few days to harvest and graft new skin.

Second- and third-degree burns covered most of my body. The burned skin was dead and would rot or harbor dangerous infection if it, and the damaged tissue underneath, wasn’t completely scraped away. It was a moment’s consolation to learn that the doctors had paused before they took the knife to my face, before they carved away the tissue that had defined my facial features, before they scraped my beauty away.

I slept restlessly for the next few days, drifting in and out of consciousness. Each time I woke, silent and immobile, I stared at the ceiling and asked myself: How could this have happened to me? Will I ever move again? What’s going to happen to my family?

Scattered images flashed through my mind. A wall of orange flames.

The pungent smell of burning skin mixed with jet fuel. People shouting above the dull roar of fire. Dark black smoke, and a leaf above me in the sky.

CLAIRE SPOKE to her mother from the hall; Nicholas had fallen asleep. Once they left, Stephanie was alone with her thoughts.

My nurse hung up pictures Claire and Jane had drawn. In one, Jane and I were holding hands. In another, Claire and I played in a garden of yellow daisies. I stared at those happy pictures, but they broke my heart. I asked the nurse to take them down.

The mother in those pictures didn’t exist anymore.

Her eyes were glued to the floor.

“I’m sorry I’m different, Jane,” I said. “I know I don’t look the same, but I promise I’m still your mom. I’ll get better, I’m going to look better. And I still love you so much. I really miss you.”

I stared at the top of her red head and watched the rapid rise and fall of her little chest. She was on the brink of tears, too.

“Janie, will you look at Mommy?”

Finally she looked up, but at Christian. “Can I go now?” she asked.

Christian nodded and hugged her. He turned to me as she walked out of the room. “I love you, Steph,” he whispered.

Out in the hall, we overheard Jane say, “Claire, don’t go in there.” I gasped. It was that bad— I had scared my own baby girl.

Hoppy Easter!

The hosts of MSNBC’s BC’s Morning Joe on bountiful egg hunts,, bunny love, and ... Śmigus Dyngus?

Joe Scarborough: All of my childhood memories of Easter center on going to church. The Easter Bunny got short shrift compared with Santa. We were taught that from Good Friday to Easter morning was a holy weekend.

Mika Brzezinski: I remember the Easter masses more than any other. I loved the message of hope and renewal. It’s my favorite holiday. We always had an Easter egg hunt with real eggs. And one year, the rabbit we kept in our backyard had eight baby bunnies.

Joe: We did not have farm animals running around the suburbs of Atlanta. After church, we would go out to eat at a steak house and then spend the rest of the afternoon together.

One year we tried to

teach my mother golf, which was a disaster because no one in my family is very good.

Mika: My mother made traditional Polish dishes like cabbage, and we’d have a huge ham, a turkey, and often wild game that my brother shot. The table was decorated with my grandmother’s painted eggs, china, and silver from Czechoslovakia.

We also celebrated Polish Easter Monday,

called migus Dyngus.

Part of the tradition calls for dousing people with water. I was woken by my father dumping a bucket of cold water on me. Then he’d bring the hose into the house and spray everybody. I’ve never seen my parents completely lose it except on Easter Monday.

Joe: Now that I have kids of my own, we go heavy on the Easter egg hunts.

When we lived in Pensacola, Florida, we would

invite hundreds of kids over, and I’d jam myself into a giant Easter Bunny outfit. It would be 90 degrees and I would sweat buckets. I’d almost pass out by the end.

Mika: My girls are teens, so I will be the pathetic yearning mother this year who misses having babies. I will make them do an egg hunt whether they like it or not. I’m going to hold o on to every last bit of them being young.

A And I try to instill tthe concept of Lent, gi giving up something and d then celebrating it.

It’s a fabulous challenge for children, particularly these days. Whether you celebrate religiously or not, I urge everyone to try giving up something for Lent.

Joe: I don’t give up anything for Lent. I’m Baptist—we just keep sinning and ask for forgiveness.

Tune in to Morning Joe on MSNBC, weekdays from 6 to 9 a.m.

Ideally, we’d get all of the vitamins we need from the foods we eat, but few of us actually do. That’s where multivitamins come in. Choose one that supplies 100 percent of your daily allowance, and avoid megadosing. If you’re postmenopausal or a man, you can skip the iron. You may also want to take 600 milligrams of calcium (for strong bones), 400 milligrams of magnesium, and 1,000 IU of vitamin D3. For video health tips from Dr. Oz, go to Parade.com/oz.

Ask Marilyn

By Marilyn vos Savant I have an outdoor extension cord with a tag that reads, “Do not connect more than three of these cords together.”

Why? —John Stratton, Baltimore

The connection may create a fire hazard. (Electrical resistance increases with the length of the cord. If the cord was not designed to carry power that distance, the connected cords may overheat and catch fire.)

If a cord has no tag at all, avoid connecting it to any other cord.

Indoors, interconnected extension cords or power strips, called “daisy chains,” present a more serious fire hazard.

People are often unaware of the dangers of even basic interlinking arrangements, which can violate the National Electrical Code. The solution is frequently simple: Buy a longer cord or a larger power strip.

Blessings | from page 9 health improved, she found the courage to return to her blog and was buoyed by how much support she found there. She was determined to rebuild her relationship with her children. One day, when they’d all been home for a week, she decided to read to them.

“Claire, let ’s read Stuart Little,” I suggested. Claire ran to her backpack and pulled out the book.

“You’re going to read, Mom?” Ollie asked as he climbed onto the couch next to me.

Jane wandered in, too.

“What are you reading?” she asked Claire.

“Stuart Little,” I answered.

“It’s about a cute little mouse, Jane. I think you’d like it.”

She shrugged and sat down on the floor by Nicholas.

“Nicholas, you want to read with us?” Nicholas shook his head and looked back at his toys. “ ‘When Mrs. Frederick C. Little’s second son arrived, everyone noticed he was not much bigger than a mouse,’ ” I began, and Jane looked up. “ ‘The truth of the matter was, the baby looked very much like a mouse in every way.’ ” Claire giggled. “Look how cute he is with a little hat and shoes.” It was more than Jane could resist. She climbed up on the couch next to Claire. When Jane said something about the doctor examining Stuart Little, even Nicholas climbed on the couch, next to Oliver, so he could see the illustrations, too.

I was sharing the couch with all four of my children. I wanted this moment to last forever.

Hoping nothing would break the spell, I read one chapter after another. When we finished

chapter four and Jane said, “Oh, Mom, one more chapter.

Pleeeeease,” I was thrilled.

“Another chapter? I’d like nothing better.”

WITH HER family now reunited emotionally, Stephanie looked forward to one more challenge. By the one-year anniversary of the crash, she hoped to have hiked the Y Mountain in the Wasatch range, which has a huge white Y on its face for BYU; Stephanie had climbed it since childhood. On Aug. 15, the day before the anniversary, she was ready.

We pulled up to the parking lot at the base of the trail and turned to our children in the backseat. “We’re here! Are you guys ready?” We all tumbled out of the car, gathering water bottles and tying shoes.

“Mommy, who are all those people?” asked Jane, pointing at a crowd gathered at the trailhead. It did seem strange; the trail usually wasn’t this crowded.

Then I noticed that people were holding balloons and wearing i nienie T-shirts [which had been sold at a fund-raiser for her]. Could they all be here for me? I was astonished to see the faces of some 200 strangers.

Forty-five minutes later, I set out on the trail surrounded

by Christian and my children, parents, brothers, sisters, nieces, and nephews. The smell of dirt and sagebrush was subtle and earthy. And the scent carried the memories of a lifetime of climbing. During my practice runs, I’d gone only as far as the fifth of the 12 switchbacks, but each 12 • April 8, 2012

Indications and Usage: Victoza® (liraglutide [rDNA origin] injection) is an injectable prescription medicine that may improve blood sugar (glucose) in adults with type 2 diabetes when used along with diet and exercise.

Victoza® is not recommended as the first medication to treat diabetes. Victoza® is not insulin and has not been studied in combination with insulin. Victoza® is not for people with type 1 diabetes or people with diabetic ketoacidosis. It is not known if Victoza® is safe and effective in children. Victoza® is not recommended for use in children.

Important Safety Information: In animal studies, Victoza® caused thyroid tumors—including thyroid cancer— in some rats and mice. It is not known whether Victoza® causes thyroid tumors or a type of thyroid cancer called medullary thyroid cancer (MTC) in people which may be fatal if not detected and treated early. Do not use Victoza® if you or any of your family members have a history of MTC or if you have Multiple Endocrine Neoplasia syndrome type 2 (MEN 2). While taking Victoza®, tell your doctor if you get a lump or swelling in your neck, hoarseness, trouble swallowing, or shortness of breath. These may be symptoms of thyroid cancer.

Inflammation of the pancreas (pancreatitis) may be severe and lead to death. Before taking Victoza®, tell your doctor if you have had pancreatitis, gallstones, a history of alcoholism, or high blood triglyceride levels since these medical conditions make you more likely to get pancreatitis.

Stop taking Victoza® and call your doctor right away if you have pain in your stomach area that is severe and will not go away, occurs with or without vomiting, or is felt going from your stomach area through to your back. These may be symptoms of pancreatitis.

Before using Victoza®, tell your doctor about all the medicines you take, especially

sulfonylurea medicines or insulin, as taking them with Victoza® may affect how each medicine works.

Also tell your doctor if you are allergic to any of the ingredients in Victoza®; have severe stomach problems such as slowed emptying of your stomach (gastroparesis) or problems with digesting food; have or have had kidney or liver problems; have any other medical conditions; are pregnant or plan to become pregnant. Tell your doctor if you are breastfeeding or plan to breastfeed. It is unknown if Victoza® will harm your unborn baby or if Victoza® passes into your breast milk.

Your risk for getting hypoglycemia, or low blood sugar, is higher if you take Victoza® with another medicine that can cause low blood sugar, such as a sulfonylurea. The dose of your sulfonylurea medicine may need to be lowered while taking Victoza®.

Victoza® may cause nausea, vomiting, or diarrhea leading to dehydration, which may cause kidney failure. This can happen in people who have never had kidney problems before. Drinking plenty of fluids may reduce your chance of dehydration.

The most common side effects with Victoza® include headache, nausea, and diarrhea.

Nausea is most common when first starting Victoza®, but decreases over time in most people. Immune system-related reactions, including hives, were more common in people treated with Victoza® compared to people treated with other diabetes drugs in medical studies.

Please see Brief Summary of Important Patient Information on next page.

new turn was like greeting an old friend. Every rock and scrub oak seemed familiar and welcoming, as though they were as glad to have me back as I was to be there.

The mountain curves outward just before the trail opens up at the base of the giant cement Y. When I rounded that final curve, family, friends, and strangers cheered.

I held my arms out wide.

“Thank you!” I shouted. “I made it!” Everyone released balloons into the sky. I hugged Christian and my mom and dad and Claire and Jane and anyone who was near enough to be hugged.

I made it!

STEPHANIE CONTINUED to undergo surgeries to stretch her skin, and in the fall of 2011 she had more joyous news to report: She was pregnant.

The accident took so much, in just an instant, but over these last three years, I feel like I have, slowly but surely, reclaimed from the wreckage everything that truly matters. Being a mother is at the top of the list.

I undergo regular checkups to make sure my stomach is stretching properly, and so far, so good. It’s been challenging to wean myself off the chronic pain medications that make life normal for me, and, just like my pregnancies before the accident, I have been severely nauseated.

But all the discomfort is worth it. I cannot wait to welcome our child into this beautiful world.

Today, the improved Acoustic Wave® music system II builds on our more than 40 years of industry-leading innovation to deliver even better sound. This is the best-performing all-in-one music system we’ve ever made, with sound that rivals large and complicated stereos. There’s no stack of equipment. No tangle of wires. Just all-in-one convenience and lifelike sound. 𰀍𰃛𰁩𰂘𰃊 𰁌𰁩𰃌𰃌𰁩𰃀𰃊 𰃃𰂜𰃕𰂘𰁠𰃊 𰃌𰂅𰀾𰂘𰃊 𰂈𰃌𰃃𰃊 𰀾𰃜𰀾𰃀𰁠𰂇𰃜𰂈𰂘𰂘𰂈𰂘𰁽𰃊 𰂫𰃀𰁩𰁠𰁩𰁖𰁩𰃃𰃃𰂜𰃀𰂰 With recently developed Bose® technologies, our engineers were able to make the acclaimed sound even more natural.
