Knopp bolsters his party via PACs

Seventh St.

Deschutes County officials are talking with the city of Redmond about a proposal to turn the historic Evergreen Elementary School into a county facility.

The deal appeared to have died last summer when the county spent $1.4 million to purchase a bank-owned commercial building in Redmond to convert into offices. But it was resurrected earlier this year during a series of meetings between Redmond City Manager David Brandt, developer Tom Kemper and Deschutes County Commissioner Tammy Baney.

Kemper is a Portland investor and developer who co-founded the Portland real estate investment firm SKB, or ScanlanKemperBard Co. After leaving SKB, Kemper founded KemperCo. LLC in 2000.

Kemper sought an exclusive agreement with the city to redevelop Evergreen Elementary and possibly trade it for the county-owned commercial property, known as the Design Center, according to emails and other documents released to The Bulletin in response to a public records request.

Evergreen Elementary building

SALEM — Former lawmaker Tim Knopp has attacked the record of his opponent, Sen. Chris Telfer, in the state’s upper cham- Knopp ber, but that didn’t stop him from contributing $7,000 over the years to her efforts.

Knopp has a reputation for being a fundraising powerhouse.

His own personal political action committee, with the goal of Telfer unseating Telfer this May, has raised more than $100,000 since the start of last month. Telfer, by comparison, has raised about $33,400. But two of Knopp’s political action committees, or PACs, have long wielded influence in state and local politics.

When Rep. Mike McLane, R-Powell Butte, and Rep. Jason Conger, R-Bend, both announced they were endorsing Knopp, each cited the fact that Knopp helped them in their election efforts. And those two PACs have also infused Telfer’s campaign with contributions.

Knopp pointed out that he was not the sole decision maker when it came to campaign contributions, and most checks are cut for candidates who abide by certain principles.

The giant, centuries-old ponderosa pine at La Pine State Park — aptly named the “Big Tree” — is a “heritage tree,” meaning it’s a specimen that has deep roots in Oregon history. The state-funded group in charge of identifying and commemorating such trees is looking for help.

The local applicant need not be a certified tree expert, but he or she should have knowledge of trees and the state’s history, said Annie Von Domitz, chief community assets officer for Oregon Travel Experience.

“We are looking for people who can help us identify (heritage) trees,” she said.

Formerly the Oregon Travel Information Council, the state-funded Oregon Travel Experience maintains rest stops around the state and highway signs indicating where motorists can find food and gas. The tree committee has 13 to 15 members.

The Big Tree in La Pine is one of two in the area (the other is the Wheeler Elm out near Mitchell).

In Hollywood, the moment the good guys trace a hair, a bullet fragment or a fingerprint, it’s game over. The bad guy is locked up.

But the glamorized portrait is not so simple in real life.

Far from infallible, expert comparisons of hair, handwriting, marks made by firearms on bullets, and patterns such as bite marks and shoe and tire prints are in some ways unscientific and subject to human bias, a National Academy of Sciences panel chartered by Congress found. Other techniques, such as in bulletlead analysis and arson investigation, survived for decades despite poorly regulated practices and a lack of scientific method.

Even fingerprint identification is partly a subjective exercise that lacks research into the role of unconscious bias or even its error rate, the panel’s 328-page report said.

It’s an image reminiscent of the 9/11 terrorist attacks, with smoke rising skyward — but this site in Jersey City, N.J., with the 1970s Manhattan skyline as its backdrop, was home to another kind of disaster: illegal dumping. The fumes are pollution. Today, there’s a different skyline, and the land has been cleaned up (inset).

Earth Day, then and now

By Dina Cappiello The Associated Press

Today, Portland’s light-rail line zips past the spot where a now-defunct gas station advertised almost 40 years ago that it had run out of gas.

In Lake Charles, La., a polluted drainage ditch that once flowed with petrochemical waste teems with overgrown, wild plants today.

And in Jersey City, N.J., a smoking dump piled with twisted, rusty metal has disappeared (along with the twin towers of the World Trade Center in lower Manhattan that were its backdrop).

Forty years after the Environmental Protection Agency sent an army of nearly 100 photographers across the country to capture images at the dawn of environmental regulation, The Associated Press went back for Earth Day this year to see how things have changed. It is something the agency never got to do because the Documerica program, as it was called, died in 1978, the victim of budget cuts.

Photographers returned to more than a dozen of those locations in recent weeks. Of the 20,000 photos in the archive, a big chunk naturally focused on environmental issues.

Gone are the many obvious signs of pollution — clouds of smoke billowing from industrial chimneys, raw sewage flowing into rivers, garbage strewn over beaches and roadsides — that heightened environmental awareness in the 1970s, and led to the first Earth Day and the EPA’s creation in 1970. Such environmental consciousness caused Congress to pass almost unanimously some of the country’s bedrock environmental laws in the years that followed.

Today’s pollution problems aren’t as easy to see or photograph. Some in industry and politics question whether environmental regulation has gone too far and whether the risks are worth addressing, given their costs.

“To a certain extent, we are a victim of our own success,” said William Ruckelshaus, who headed the EPA when it came into existence under President Richard Nixon and was in charge during the Documerica project. “Right now, EPA is under sharp criticism partially because it is not as obvious to people that pollution problems exist and that we need to deal with them.”

Environmental laws that passed Congress so easily in Ruckelshaus’ day are now at the center of a partisan dispute. Dozens of bills have been introduced to limit environmental protections that critics say will lead to job losses and economic harm, and there are those who question what the majority of scientists accept — that the burning of fossil fuels is causing global warming.

In the 1970s, the first environmental regulations were just starting to take effect, with widespread support. Now, according to some officials in the oil and gas and electric utility industries, which are responsible for the bulk of emissions and would bear the greatest costs, the EPA has gone overboard with rules.

For instance, Documerica photographers captured a wave of coal-fired power plants under construction.

Republicans and the industry now say environmental regulations are partly to blame for shuttering some of the oldest

and dirtiest coal plants.

Last year, the EPA began a volunteer photography project called State of the Environment. More than 620 people have participated and submitted 1,800 photographs, but only a few are at the same sites as the 1970s project.

Images always have spurred environmental consciousness.

A 1980s satellite picture of the ozone hole helped lead to a ban on the chemicals in aerosol cans and refrigerants that were responsible. Underwater video of oil spewing into the Gulf of Mexico in 2010 opened the public’s eyes to the gravity of the largest offshore oil spill in U.S. history.

But a second Documerica project, with professional photographers, would be impossible today, given budget cuts facing the agency and wary industries barring access by photographers.

In an interview, EPA chief Lisa Jackson said she believes

people in the United States still want to protect the environment. A 2010 Pew Research Center survey showed that 57 percent of those questioned held a favorable view of the EPA, compared with a 1997 poll that showed 69 percent. A CNN/Opinion Research Corp. poll taken last year found that 71 percent of people surveyed said the government should continue to provide money to the EPA to enforce regulations to address global warming and other environmental issues.

“We are not done. We still have challenges we have to face,” Jackson said.

To begin living a little bit greener each day — especially today, in observance of the 42nd Earth Day — check out these Earthsaving tips.

• Look toward native vegetation and produce.

Whenever possible, eat locally to cut back on the pollution generated from transportation and to help support local farmers.

Visit your local farmers markets. Plant local plants to cut back on maintenance costs. For example, for those of us who live in a desert: Don’t plant a palm tree; instead plant a native plant that thrives in the environment with no extra watering required.

• When buying fish, the smaller, the better. It’s confusing to decide which fish to eat, healthwise and Earthwise. When in doubt, a simple rule is: Use the size of the fish as a guide, as big fish are usually high on the food chain and full of toxins, but their populations are plummeting, while the little guys are more … expendable. So, munch on sardines, herring and anchovies instead of swordfish, salmon or tuna steak.

• Love that microwave.

It uses about a third of a regular oven’s energy. Use a combination of cooking methods to save energy and time and still get good results. (Cook a potato until fork-tender in the microwave; make it crispy in a toaster oven.)

• Save a tree in the kitchen. Use cloth towels instead of paper towels, or choose a green brand.

• Go green when cleaning.

Use hot, soapy water, or a mixture of water and vinegar, to tackle most household cleanups. A gentler, safer hydrogen peroxide-based cleaner will kill bacteria. Most green brands label such products as “kitchen cleaner.”

• Calculate your carbon footprint. On the Web at calc.zerofootprint.net.

• It’s Earth Day, and this year may see the biggest celebration yet of the day that marked the birth of the environmental movement nearly 40 years ago, with more than 1 billion expected to participate worldwide, in ways big and small. (Stories at left)

IN HISTORY Highlights: In 1912, the U.S. Chamber of Commerce was born. In 1864, Congress authorized the phrase “In God We Trust” on U.S. coins. In 1952, an atomic test in Nevada became the first nuclear explosion shown on live television as a 31-kiloton bomb was dropped. In 1970, millions of Americans concerned about the environment observed the first Earth Day. In 1994, Richard Nixon, the 37th U.S. president, died at 81 in New York.

Ten years ago: Actor Robert Blake was charged with murder, solicitation of murder and conspiracy in the shooting death of his wife, Bonny Lee Bakley. (He was later acquitted but found liable in a civil trial.)

Five years ago: In the first round of the French presidential election, conservative Nicolas Sarkozy and Socialist rival Segolene Royal received enough votes to advance to a runoff. (Sarkozy, who is now up for re-election, later won that round.)

One year ago: Syrian security forces fired on protesters, killing at least 75 around the country, in a state crackdown that continues to this day. A3

T S Quiet in Syria as U.N. peeks in Bulletin wire reports BEIRUT — The U.N. Security Council unanimously approved increasing the number of cease-fire monitors in Syria on Saturday, and the battered Syrian city of Homs was calm for the first time in months as an advance team of those observers toured the city.

The observers’ foray into a chaotic crowd of people begging for help in Homs highlighted the risks faced by the team, protected only by blue

helmets and bulletproof vests.

After the vote, 300 more observers could be on their way.

Activists reported only sporadic gunfire, but no shelling, and said troops had pulled armored vehicles off the streets.

Two observers stayed behind in Homs to keep monitoring the city, after the rest of the team left Saturday evening.

The mission approved Saturday is meant to shore up a cease-fire that officially took effect 10 days ago, but has

failed to halt violence. U.N. chief Ban Ki-moon has accused President Bashar Assad of violating the truce; rebel fighters have also kept up attacks.

It’s the first time the Security Council authorized unarmed U.N. military observers to go into a conflict area. Saturday’s resolution gave Ban the final say on when to deploy them.

Western diplomats put the onus on Syria to make the mission work. The U.S. ambassador, Susan Rice, warned

that the U.S. would pursue sanctions if Assad doesn’t comply.

Under a preliminary agreement between the U.N. and the Syrian government, the enlarged mission will be able to walk and drive freely through the country. However, Syria has so far not agreed to a U.N. demand that observers use their own planes and helicopters, seen as a key to the mission’s success because it could reduce friction on the ground.

Syria TV via The Associated Press

Five unarmed U.N. truce monitors toured Homs, the battered city at the heart of the Syrian uprising, on foot Saturday. Activists said Homs, which has been battered by tank and mortar shells for weeks, was relatively calm during the visit.

Tax reform’s ‘base line’ problem

Bahrainis march west of the capital Saturday. Opposition groups said a protester died after clashes with security forces, amid claims that the government is cracking down on demonstrations ahead of the Bahrain Grand Prix auto race.

Death, Grand Prix shines spotlight back on Bahrain

By Souad Mekhennet New York Times News Service

MANAMA, Bahrain — After a night of clashes between anti-government demonstrators and the police, a protester was found dead Saturday near the capital, as Bahrain struggled to restore calm before an international auto race today.

Opposition groups blamed the police for the death.

Bahrain, a Sunni-ruled monarchy in the Persian Gulf, has beaten back persistent protests from the country’s Shiite majority for more than a year.

The protesters have intensified their actions in recent days, hoping to use the international attention focused on the country during the Formula One Grand Prix race to press their grievances.

The protester who died, Salah Abbas Habib Musa, 36, was a local leader of the antigovernment demonstrations and had taken part in one Friday afternoon, family members and colleagues said. His brother, Hussain Abbas Habib Musa, said that Musa had joined another protest Friday night in a village outside Manama, the capital.

An uncle of Musa said friends had told the family that his body had been found on the roof of a building and that it showed signs of beating.

Al Wefaq, the largest opposition group in the kingdom, said Musa had been among a group of protesters beaten by the police, and a spokesman for the group, Abdul Jalil Khalil Ebrahim, said, “He had been killed by the police.”

A security official who said he had seen the body said it had gunshot wounds, but a government spokesman, Abdulaziz Mubarak al-Khalifa, would not comment on the cause of death until an autopsy was completed.

The chief of public security, Maj. Gen. Tariq al-Hassan, said Musa’s body was found in Shakoura, on the outskirts of Manama. He said “the death was determined to have happened under suspicious circumstances.” The Interior Ministry said an investigation was under way.

Bahrain has had unrest since last year when opponents of the government tried to follow other Arab Spring revolts with their own. But the government

quashed the protests, backed by troops from Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates.

The United States, which bases its 5th Fleet in Bahrain, has been relatively subdued in its criticism of Bahrain’s leaders. Bahrain’s government says it has taken steps to address some complaints, including what some officials acknowledge is the brutality of the security forces.

Mariam Isa Ali Jawad, 33, Musa’s wife, said that her husband had been attending the daily protests and was one of the leaders in the Shakoura area.

Jawad said that although the government had accused his group of encouraging protesters to throw homemade bombs at the police, her husband was opposed to the use of violence. She said that he had been politically active and had spent five years in prison for his opposition activities.

Thousands of protesters, some hurling homemade bombs, clashed again Saturday with the police, who responded with tear gas. Other protesters carried banners calling for democracy.

On YouTube, minorities lead in popularity

By Hayley Tsukayama The Washington Post

Catch Kevin Wu’s latest comedy program on YouTube, and you may think he’s nothing more than a young Asian American talking to a camera in his bedroom. But almost each of his shows commands at least 2 million views — rivaling the nightly TV audiences of Jon Stewart and Stephen Colbert.

A disproportionate share of YouTube’s top personalities are minorities, a striking contrast to the most popular shows on mainstream television, where the stars are largely white.

These minority-produced, home-grown shows are drawing massive audiences — the top one has 5.2 million subscribers — enough to attract the attention of major advertisers.

On Wu’s videos, ads for Mazda and Toyota pop up.

Michelle Phan, a Vietnamese American beauty guru who ranks 20th among YouTube’s most popular channels, has

become a spokeswoman for Lancome. YouTube declined to reveal how much such producers earn, but it says hundreds of them make at least six figures annually.

“A lot of U.S. marketers are leaving minority audiences on the table,” said Seneca Mudd, the director of industry initiatives at the Interactive Advertising Bureau. “Advertisers would ignore that trend at their own peril.”

Among the 20 most-subscribed-to channels on YouTube, eight feature minorities. Most are Asian American. Many more black and Latino shows populate the top 50. These producers are also finding an audience that has been largely neglected by Hollywood. Nearly 80 percent of minorities regularly watch online videos, compared with less than 70 percent of whites, the Pew Internet & American Life Project says.

Wu, who ranks 11th among YouTube channels, said he

does not intentionally target Asian American issues. But those viewers more easily understand his jokes on dating, stereotypes and the generational clash between parents and kids, he said. “I just tell my stories honestly, and usually Asian Americans will relate to me because they say, ‘That’s how I am and with my parents,’ ” he said.

Added Phan: “If you look at mainstream media, there aren’t many Asian Americans. But it’s also shown non-Asians that they’re not that different from a girl with a different skin tone and a different background.”

Analysts say the trend of minority content on YouTube makes sense. Networks feel pressure to appeal to a broader audience, but Internet video can thrive by just targeting niches because the cost of producing a show is so low, said David Bushman, television curator for the Paley Center for Media.

How much does the federal government actually spend? About $830 billion more than you think.

That’s the conclusion of a recent Tax Policy Center study by Donald Marron and Eric Toder. They analyzed tax expenditures — the deductions, breaks and loopholes that clog the tax code and sorted them into two groups: “spending substitutes” and “tax policy design.”

The tax policy expenditures “represent broad choices in tax policy design but are not associated with any clear spending objective.” Marron and Toder cite the treatment of qualified retirement saving plans, which, for good or ill, nudges the tax code toward taxing consumption rather than savings.

Other expenditures, however, are simply government spending programs by another name. The mortgage-interest deduction, for example, is a spending substitute: It seeks to “subsidize identifiable activities” — homeownership in this case — and could eas-

ANALYSIS ily be designed as a spending program in which the government sends homeowners an annual check.

But although the looming expiration of the Bush tax cuts adds urgency to reform, they also stand in its way.

Because the ultimate purpose of the tax system is to fund the government, reform proposals generally target a certain revenue level. Usually, it’s the same level as the current code, or even a bit less. Veterans of past efforts generally advise against using tax reform as a vehicle for deficit reduction. Most say that for reform to succeed, it must be “revenue neutral.”

But the Bush tax cuts have created a “base line” problem.

The two parties can’t agree on a plan because they can’t agree on a common equation for how much revenue counts as “revenue neutral.”

Republicans work from a base line that includes a full extension of the Bush tax cuts. The Democrats’ base line assumes the expiration

of the tax cuts for families earning more than $250,000.

The Congressional Budget Office uses yet another base line, one that assumes that all of the Bush tax cuts will expire, because that’s what current law says will happen at the end of 2012. The difference in revenue between the Republican and the currentlaw scenario exceeds $4 trillion over 10 years.

So before we can even discuss what a new tax code should look like, we somehow need to resolve the most polarizing question in American politics: Should taxes be higher or lower?

It’s extremely unlikely that the two parties will come to an agreement on their own.

Luckily, they don’t have to. If they simply continue to disagree, at the end of this year the Bush tax cuts will expire, and two of the competing base lines will fade away, leaving only the CBO’s standing.

Forensics Continued from A1 “The forensic science system, encompassing both research and practice, has serious problems that can only be addressed by a national commitment to overhaul the current structure,” the panel concluded in 2009.

Now, Congress and the Obama administration are trying to regulate forensic science to help establish standards. Senate Judiciary Committee Chairman Patrick J. Leahy, D-Vt., and Commerce, Science and Transportation Committee Chairman John D. Rockefeller IV, D-W.Va., are weighing legislation that could subject techniques to greater scientific scrutiny and help establish their ranges of accuracy.

A Leahy bill would create a new office of forensic science in the Justice Department.

Rockefeller is preparing legislation to expand the role of the National Science Foundation and the National Institute of Standards and Technology in setting scientific standards and research goals.

The Obama administration is also looking to “strengthen the linkage between cutting-edge science … and the forensic tests used by law enforcement,” said Rick Weiss, spokesman for the White House Office of Science and Technology Policy.

Police and law enforcement agencies have rebuffed recommendations to remove crime labs from their control.

Since 2002, failures have been reported at about 30 federal, state and local crime labs serving the FBI, the Army and eight of the nation’s 20 largest cities.

Advances in DNA testing are exposing errors at unexpected rates. In November, researchers with the Urban Institute reported that new DNA testing appeared to clear convicted defendants in 16 percent of Virginia criminal convictions between 1973 and 1988 in which evidence was available for retesting.

A 2009 study of postconviction DNA exonerations — now up to 289 nationwide — found invalid testimony in more than half the cases.

“There are just too many related problems for this to be dealt with ad hoc,” said Brandon Garrett, a professor at the University of Virginia School of Law. More DNA testing alone is not the answer, experts say.

Biological evidence historically is collected in fewer than 20 percent of criminal cases.

Other questioned forensic techniques are used far more often, with mistakes harming defendants and crime victims whose true assailants remain at large.

The National Academy of Sciences report cited the lack of effective standards for examiners, laboratories and court testimony. It also criticized Justice Department agencies for a dearth of research into problems and for being “too wedded” to the status quo to be trusted to lead reforms.

“This is our generation’s sole opportunity” to get arguments out of the adversarial system and resolved through science, said Thomas Bohan, who was president of the American Academy of Fo-

rensic Sciences in 2010. “It’s a shame they couldn’t have done a good job 10 or 20 years ago.”

Arson investigation is an example of how research has dramatically improved practices.

Since 1990, the number of U.S. structure fires attributed to arson has dropped by half.

One reason is that scientific test burnings have disproved the notion that some burn marks could be caused only by liquid accelerants.

Meanwhile, scientific doubts have festered for decades with fingerprint examination.

While fingerprint analysis is one of the most valuable and frequently applied investigative tools, its accuracy has not been scientifically defined.

FBI examiners claimed until recently that they can match fingerprints to the exclusion of any other person in the world with 100 percent certainty using a method with an error rate essentially of zero. The academy report found that assertion was “not scientifically plausible” and had chilled research into error rates.

In 1999, a Justice Department official, Richard Rau, told a federal court that the department delayed such a study because of the legal ramifications. As recently as last year, Pennsylvania State University researcher Cedric Neumann was denied a department grant to determine potential fingerprint error rates using closed cases.

Neumann declined to comment for this article.

A person familiar with the episode blamed a polarized climate in the adversarial legal system, saying, “Few agencies in the forensic-science community want to be the first ones associated with an error rate.” The person spoke on the condition of anonymity to discuss sensitive federal research funding decisions.

Meanwhile, errors occur. In 2004, DNA for the first time exonerated a person convicted with a fingerprint match and, separately, the FBI made its first publicly acknowledged fingerprint misidentification.

Brandon Mayfield, a Portland lawyer, mistakenly was arrested in connection with the terrorist train bombings in Madrid that killed 191 people.

The FBI apologized.

Since then, the Justice Department has begun research to try to quantify how complete a fingerprint must be to properly declare a match; how different conditions may affect the reliability of examinations; whether computers can do such work; and how to present forensic testimony about probabilities to judges and juries. The FBI has also required “blind verification” of results by agents unfamiliar with initial examinations.

The bureau said that skilled analysts are extraordinarily accurate, at least when they know they are being tested. An FBI study with Noblis Corp. last year found that when 169 examiners compared thousands of fingerprints and decided there was enough information to declare a match or not, they were correct 99.8 percent of the time.

Still, the Mayfield case highlighted the need for research into real-world conditions. A 2006 study by a London-based scientist, Itiel Dror, asked experts to analyze fin-

gerprints that, unbeknownst to them, they had analyzed earlier in their careers. This time, however, examiners were given biasing statements, such as that a suspect had confessed or that a suspect was locked up at the time of the offense. In 16.6 percent of cases, examiners reversed earlier judgments.

Crime lab directors and prosecutors welcome calls for more money for research and to improve examiners and facilities. But with budgets tight at all levels, Washington has few other tools to prompt 350 state and local labs across the country to improve.

The fact that a technique has not been scientifically proven does not mean it does not work, defenders say, and mistakes can be handled traditionally through case-bycase appeals.

“In the real life of the criminal justice system, we need more resources for those who are on the front lines,” said Scott Burns, executive director of the National District Attorneys Association. Noting that prosecutors handle 20 million nontraffic cases a year, Burns said, “The sky isn’t falling, and we usually get it right.”

Pete Marone, director of the Virginia Department of Forensic Science and chairman of the Consortium of Forensic Science Organizations, urged Congress not to “reinvent the wheel” by abandoning all existing accreditation standards or groups such as the one he represents.

“Don’t judge forensic science today based on errors from 30 years ago,” Marone said. “What we need is someone setting a research agenda and direction. … We need leadership.”

The ‘CSI’ effect Popularized in fiction by Sherlock Holmes, hair comparison became an established forensic science by the 1950s.

Before modern-day DNA testing, hair analysis could, at its best, accurately narrow the pool of criminal suspects to a class or group or definitively rule out a person as a possible source.

But in practice, even before the “‘CSI’ effect” led jurors to expect scientific evidence at every trial, a claim of a hair match packed a powerful, dramatic punch in court.

The testimony, usually by a respected scientist working at a respected federal agency, allowed prosecutors to boil down ambiguous cases for jurors to a single, incriminating piece of human evidence left at the scene.

Forensic experts typically assessed the varying characteristics of a hair to determine whether the defendant might be a source. Some factors were visible to the naked eye, such as the length of the hair, its color and whether it was straight, kinky or curly. Others were visible under a microscope, such as the size, type and distribution of pigmentation, the alignment of scales or the thickness of layers in a given hair, or its diameter at various points.

Other judgments could be made. Was the hair animal or human? From the scalp, limbs or pubic area? Of a discernible race? Dyed, bleached or otherwise treated? Cut, forcibly removed or shed naturally?

But there is no consensus

among hair examiners about how many of these characteristics were needed to declare a match.

Flawed forensics Justice Department officials have known for years that flawed forensic work might have led to the convictions of potentially innocent people, but prosecutors failed to notify defendants or their attorneys even in many cases they knew were troubled.

Officials started reviewing the cases in the 1990s after reports that sloppy work by examiners at the FBI lab was producing unreliable forensic evidence in court trials. Instead of releasing those findings, they made them available only to the prosecutors in the affected cases, according to documents and interviews with dozens of officials.

In addition, the Justice Department reviewed only a limited number of cases and focused on the work of one scientist at the FBI lab, despite warnings that problems were far more widespread and could affect potentially thousands of cases in federal, state and local courts.

As a result, hundreds of defendants nationwide remain in prison or on parole for crimes that might merit exoneration, a retrial or a retesting of evidence using DNA because FBI hair and fiber experts may have misidentified them as suspects.

In one Texas case, Benjamin Herbert Boyle was executed in 1997, more than a year after the Justice Department began its review. Boyle would not have been eligible for the death penalty without the FBI’s flawed work, according to a prosecutor’s memo.

The case of a Maryland man serving a life sentence for a 1981 double killing is another in which federal and local law enforcement officials knew of forensic problems but never told the defendant. Attorneys

for the man, John Norman Huffington, say they learned of potentially exculpatory Justice Department findings from The Washington Post. They are seeking a new trial.

Justice Department officials said that they met their legal and constitutional obligations when they learned of specific errors, that they alerted pros-

ecutors and were not required to inform defendants directly.

The review was performed by a task force created during an inspector general’s investigation of misconduct at the FBI crime lab in the 1990s.

The inquiry took nine years, ending in 2004, records show, but the findings were never made public.

Romney plays hardball over ‘Hispanic problem’ Official vs. political trips:

By Steven Thomma McClatchy Newspapers

SCOTTSDALE, Ariz. — Mitt Romney has a “Hispanic problem.�

The presumptive Republican presidential nominee trails Democratic President Barack Obama among Hispanic voters by a margin of better than 2-1, a deficit large enough to cost him the presidency as it did John McCain four years ago.

Some of his problem comes with the Republican brand, some through his own tough talk on illegal immigration during the Republican primaries. Either way, Romney has to find a way to close the gap or lose. Among the options: a conservative version of immigration reform, an Hispanic running mate, and plenty of grassroots courting. “It’s the most important swing voter group in the country,� said Republican pollster Whit Ayres.

The numbers That’s because the country’s demographics are changing.

Republicans tend to win the majority of whites, but whites are shrinking as a percentage of the country while Hispanics surge.

Ayres noted that McCain in 2008 won the same percentage of the white vote as Ronald Reagan did in 1980. But whites represented 88 percent of the vote in 1980; the representation was 74 percent in 2008. Reagan won handily. McCain lost.

At the same time, Hispanics surpassed African Americans as the country’s largest minority, and their share of the vote grew, too.

Republicans fared well with George W. Bush, who spoke Spanish and backed immigration reform that would allow

Evergreen Continued from A1 Brandt said Friday the city has not signed a contract with Kemper.

On Wednesday, Interim County Administrator Erik Kropp would not say whether Kemper is still involved in the negotiations. “At this point, we’re working through the city,� Kropp said.

Commissioners Alan Unger and Tony DeBone said they did not know who Kemper was and were unaware that Baney and other officials were discussing a deal with him. “You’re telling me things I don’t know,� Unger said last week, when asked about Kemper’s proposal.

DeBone had a similar reaction. “I don’t know Tom Kemper, and I’m not privy to what you’re seeing now,� DeBone said.

However, Baney wrote in a Feb. 29 email to Kemper that she had just informed the other two commissioners and they supported the discussion. “I met with our board and they are open to the discussion,� Baney wrote.

DeBone and Unger said they were unaware of the decision to have Kropp, rather than county property and facilities director Susan Ross, deal with Kemper and Brandt.

DeBone and Brandt said last week that the city and the county are not in formal negotiations on a real estate deal for Evergreen or the Design Center, although DeBone said the county is in the process of determining the comparative costs to develop each site.

A Redmond service center County officials have discussed for years the idea of a consolidated Redmond service center for state and county departments that provide food stamps, mental health care, family planning and nutrition for low-income mothers and children. The county has a memorandum of understanding with the Department of Human Services that stated the county would “build and maintain a facility to open in 2012.�

Both the Design Center and Evergreen would need to be remodeled, and official statements suggest the fixes at Evergreen might be more expensive. Then-County Administrator Dave Kanner said last summer it would cost $1 million to $1.5 million to remodel the Design Center. Brandt said in January the city estimated it would cost $6 million to renovate the school.

a path to citizenship for illegal immigrants already in the country.

He took 44 percent of the Hispanic vote in 2004, helping him win a close re-election. By 2006, the Republican Party enjoyed its best standing ever, as 49 percent of Hispanics called themselves Democrats and 28 percent called themselves Republican, a 21-point deficit measured by the nonpartisan Pew Hispanic Center.

Then Republicans helped kill immigration reform. Amnesty, they called it. They cheered as Arizona adopted a get-tough law. By last December, 67 percent of Hispanics called themselves Democrats and 20 percent called themselves Republican, a 47-point deficit.

Romney jumped in during the primaries, eager to prove his conservative bona fides.

He ripped Gov. Rick Perry of Texas for supporting in-state tuition for the Texas children of illegal immigrants. He opposed a proposed Democratic immigration law, the DREAM Act, that would allow a path to citizenship for children of illegal immigrants after they attend college or serve in the U.S. military. He called for illegal immigrants to “self deport.�

By last week, he trailed Obama among Hispanic voters 67-27 in a new Pew Research Center survey. That’s worse for Romney than the 67-31 margin Obama took in 2008 against McCain.

Addressing the issue Romney isn’t deaf to the issue.

He appealed to Hispanics during a visit to Arizona on Friday, hoping their concern about the economy will trump other issues. The campaign circulated a graphic aimed at highlighting the impact of

School a white elephant?

Last year, as the Redmond School District prepared to sell Evergreen Elementary to the city, the school district’s operations director, Mike McIntosh, said its old boilers and other infrastructure were a drain on the district’s finances.

Evergreen was built in 1920.

The expense has proved daunting for the city, too. “Looking at our long term budget situation, I am having a hard time finding debt service for our portion ($200,000) for the next five years in any case,� Brandt wrote in a March 13 email to Kemper. It would cost the city $200,000 annually to pay for the renovation of the first floor, where City Hall would be located.

In an earlier email to Kemper, Brandt outlined other problems with Evergreen. “There is some sentimental community attachment for the gym, but keeping it is quite costly,� Brandt wrote. “As with the school building itself, there is a lot of sentiment that it should be saved but absolutely no public interest in putting tax money into it. So at the end of the day, without a lot of creativity, the building (both of them actually) is likely to end up a pile of bricks.�

Talks began in February Kemper and Brandt’s correspondence about Evergreen Elementary began Feb. 1, when Kemper emailed Brandt to suggest they drive over to look at an unspecified county building.

On Feb. 21, Kemper emailed Baney to pitch the idea of trading the Design Center for the second floor of Evergreen Elementary.

They had met recently at a housing project in Madras, and had a mutual acquaintance named Jon, Kemper wrote. Jon’s identity and relationship to Kemper and Baney was unclear, and Baney did not return calls for comment. “I am also a friend of Jon’s and actually a former partner of Bob Scanlon,â€? Kemper wrote. “I am talking with David Brandt at the City of Redmond to redo the Evergreen School building into the city offices. ‌ With further due diligence, the Design Center deal apparently is not the optimal solution for the (sic) providing office space for the county’s needs.â€?

Kemper proposed that he would purchase Evergreen from the city, develop it and transfer the second floor to the county, in exchange for the Design Center and an unspecified amount of cash. Kemper viewed the county’s Property

There are other possible routes, many of them applauded by Republican officials meeting in Arizona who signaled the party grew too harsh in its approach in recent years.

Some mentioned the appeal of Romney naming a running mate such as Sen. Marco Rubio, R-Fla., a Cuban American, or Gov. Susana Martinez of New Mexico, a Mexican American.

Several said they’d support a plan by Rubio to propose a conservative version of the DREAM Act that would al-

Not citizenship, but if they’ve been productive members of society, they should stay,� said Glen McCall, a representative to the Republican National Committee from South Carolina.

Democrats aren’t letting Romney have the argument. “If there is one thing that we are clear on,� said Juan Sepulveda, a senior adviser for Hispanic affairs at the Democratic National Committee, “it’s that Mitt Romney is on the wrong side of every Latino issue and that, on immigration, he would be the most extreme presidential candidate in modern history.�

and Facilities Department as an obstacle to the deal. “I am also aware of the county’s real estate person not being a proponent of the Evergreen option and this would have to be addressed in some manner,� Kemper wrote.

On Feb. 22, Baney wrote back to Kemper, saying she had a Feb. 24 meeting scheduled with Brandt. Later that day, she wrote to Kemper, “I had a great meeting with David today. I am open to the idea of looking more into the Evergreen site, but need to do more fact finding on my side.�

Brandt also emailed Kemper and wrote that Baney had assured him Ross, the county property and facilities director, would no longer be involved in the negotiations. “(Baney) understood the is-

sue with Susan Ross and would have you work directly with the Assistant County Administrator, who although he isn’t a real estate person, is a generally good guy,� Brandt wrote.

Baney wrote in a Feb. 29 email to Kemper, “I met with our Board, and we are open to the discussion.�

Later on the same day, Kemper emailed Baney to request a meeting. “Should we try to do dinner Tuesday, the 13th with Jon?�

Kemper wrote. “Let’s keep the dialogue going on Evergreen.�

On March 13, Brandt reported back to Kemper that he had just taken Kropp, the interim county administrator, on a tour of Evergreen Elementary. “The County seems genuinely interested in considering an alternative to the Design

blurry line, tricky math

New York Times News Service Mixing policy and politics, President Barack Obama is picking up the pace of his travel with that ultimate incumbent’s perk — unlimited use of Air Force One. The trips are mostly to about a dozen swing states that will decide the election and to two reliably Democratic states, New York and California, for campaign money.

And Obama is not the only frequent flier with a reelection agenda. Both Vice President Joe Biden and the first lady, Michelle Obama, are increasingly stumping around the country as the campaign seeks to repeat its fundraising success of 2008 and counter a building wave of GOP cash.

The trips yield a payoff not only in donations — collected at small-crowd, big-dollar events in the sumptuous homes of donors and at small-dollar, big-crowd rallies — but also in local headlines trumpeting Obama’s message of the day. Taken together, they raise the quadrennial question of how much of a president’s travel should be paid for by taxpayers and how much by his party. “It’s very opaque,� said Meredith McGehee, policy director of the Campaign Legal Center, a nonpartisan group. “You’re kind of left in the position of, ‘Trust us; we’re doing it right.’ �

Since Obama filed for reelection a year ago, he has taken 60 domestic trips, of which 26 included fundraisers, according to Mark Knoller, a White House corre-

spondent for CBS News who for years has compiled such data.

Knoller’s count shows that since Obama took office, his most frequent destinations besides Maryland, Virginia and Illinois, his home state, have been fundraising centers and swing states: New York (23 visits), Ohio (20), Florida (16), Pennsylvania (15), Michigan (11), California and North Carolina (10 each), Massachusetts (9), Wisconsin (8), Iowa and Nevada (7 each), and Colorado (6).

This week, Obama is scheduled to visit North Carolina, Iowa and Colorado for official addresses on student loans at three campuses, prime territory for his drive to motivate young voters.

Officials at the White House, the campaign headquarters and the Democratic National Committee declined to say how they decide which events are political and how much to reimburse the government.

That secrecy has a tradition dating at least to the late 1970s.

A White House spokesman, Eric Schultz, said, “As in other administrations, we follow all rules and regulations to ensure that the DNC or other relevant political committee pays what is required.�

Rhino poaching threatens S. Africa’s game farms

By Franz Wild Bloomberg News

JOHANNESBURG — Barry Lok grimaced as he gazed at the rotting carcass of his rhino bull, Kruger, lying under a tree on his farm northwest of Johannesburg. His heart had been pierced by a poacher’s bullet and his horn, worth its weight in gold, sawn off to be sent to Asia.

Kruger’s slaying spells more than the loss of a beast Lok loved for its “prehistoric beauty.� Lok, like private rhino owners including Nicky Oppenheimer, the richest South African, must now either pay heavily for more security or sell livestock and contribute to the species’ demise.

Rhino poachers in South Africa, home to about 90 percent of the world’s population of the endangered animals, are increasingly targeting private game owners as the level of rhino killing rises toward a record. Demand is rising in China and Vietnam, where rhino horn powder is believed to cure cancer. Last year 125 rhinos were poached from private farms in South Africa, a 52 percent increase from 2010. “If we’re going to keep them here we’re going to have to protect them,� Lok, the 54-year old founder of chip-board company William Tell Holdings, said in an interview at his 5,000acre farm. “Bluntly, you’d have to sell the rhinos to pay for it.

That’s not sustainable.�

The farmers need rhinos to

Last year 125 white rhinos, like those pictured here, were poached from private farms in South Africa, a 52 percent increase over 2010.

run their hunting and game viewing businesses, which can charge a premium if their properties boast the so-called big five: rhinos, elephants, buffaloes, lions and leopards.

Some, like Lok, breed the animals for sale to ranchers.

By targeting rhinos, poachers are endangering conservation efforts while also threatening South Africa’s billion-dollar wildlife ranching industry. A 1970s law that gave farmers in the country ownership of wildlife on their land has led to the tripling of animal populations, according to Wildlife Ranching South Africa, a Pretoria, South Africa industry organization.

Revenue at game farms has risen by an average of 20 percent a year over the last 15 years. More than 10,000 pri-

vate game farms now cover about 50.7 million acres, according to the official journal of Wildlife Ranching South Africa. That’s almost three times the land of government conservation areas.

The fear of future attacks has driven Lok to hire four guards at a cost of 40,000 rand ($5,114) a month in salaries, training and equipment. “The rhino is worth more dead than alive,� said Pelham Jones, head of the Private Rhino Owners Association, which represents most of the country’s 400 rhino ranchers.

White and black rhinos were brought back from the brink of extinction in South Africa in the 1960s to a stable population of close to 20,000.

IMF’s bid for funds is just a part of Europe’s struggle

By Martin Crutsinger and Christopher S. Rugaber

ANALYSIS

The Associated Press

WASHINGTON — When the International Monetary Fund meets, its top goal will be as simple as it is difficult: Get member nations to pledge many more billions in aid — in case the IMF needs to rescue more European economies.

Yet even success would hardly inspire confidence in Europe’s economy. It is, by all accounts, already in recession.

And slowing economies elsewhere — from China to Brazil to India — may reduce the exports the continent needs to grow. European nations need faster growth to help lighten their debt loads.

All that is out of the IMF’s control — whether or not it receives pledges of further aid. “The extra IMF resources will serve as a backstop that will provide reassurance to financial markets,� said David Wyss, former chief economist at Standard & Poor’s. “But it doesn’t address the issue of how you get growth started in countries that are in deep recessions.�

What makes stronger growth so hard to achieve is that Europe’s most troubled

economies are under orders to cut — not boost — spending.

That’s part of the fiscal austerity deal under which many European Union members must curb spending to help combat the continent’s debt crisis.

The IMF’s policy meetings Saturday in Washington focused on the more immediate task of raising more money.

Its sister lending agency, the World Bank, also held policy meetings.

The IMF’s managing director, Christine Lagarde, has scaled back her target for how much more aid the IMF needs member countries to contribute. The 188-nation IMF already has about $385 billion it can lend to troubled countries.

In January, Lagarde had mentioned seeking up to $500 billion more in commitments.

Last week, she said less money might be needed because of stronger global growth. She didn’t specify a figure. But she said Thursday that she’s received about $320 billion in pledges and is seeking more.

Japan has said it’s prepared to contribute $60 billion. And three European countries that

don’t use the euro — Denmark, Norway and Sweden — pledged a combined $26 billion. The 17 euro countries already said in December that they would send an extra $200 billion to the Washington-based fund.

Pressure on the IMF to support the most ailing economies could escalate. Investors are demanding higher interest rates to buy Spanish and Italian debt. Those increased borrowing costs for Spain and Italy have renewed fears that Europe’s crisis could worsen after weeks of relative calm.

The United States has declined to provide more funding for the IMF. Congress would likely resist it. And the administration wants Europe to provide most of the additional lending resources.

U.S. Treasury Secretary Timothy Geithner noted this week that the Federal Reserve and other central banks have made it easier for European banks to get U.S. dollars to provide loans. Many banks lend in dollars because so much trade and investment is denominated in the U.S. currency. “Europe is a rich continent,� Geithner said at the Brookings Institution. “It has to play the dominant financial role.�

white rhinos, which can weigh more than two metric tons.

The rise in killings dates to 2009, when South Africa imposed a moratorium on the domestic trade in horns to match an international trading ban, according to the Johannesburg-based Endangered Wildlife Trust, a non-profit organization. Until then horns and their products could be traded locally. “The ban actually becomes the cause of the problem rather than the solution,� said Michael T’Sas Rolfes, an environmental economist who is advising the Department of Environmental Affairs on a study into lifting the ban. It “is a disaster, because the price skyrocketed and it attracted organized crime.�

The number of rhinos poached so far this year is already double the total killed illegally in the eight years until 2007, according to government figures. Standing at 181 as of last week, it probably will hit a record this year. A rhino is poached in South Africa about every 18 hours, according to the Florida-based International Rhino Foundation, a non-profit organization.

For now, private owners face the stark choice of protecting their rhinos or losing them to poachers. “Game farming has turned into a war,� said Lok, lamenting the loss of a “paradise� he created to enjoy with his wife and three sons. “How can you protect them in the face of such demand?�

Trees Continued from A1 The committee’s budget is about $4,000 a year, with most of the money spent on $300 anodized aluminum plaques for heritage trees.

Started in 1995, the committee has accumulated a list of 60 heritage trees around the state. Most are in and around Portland and the Willamette Valley, but there are a couple on the coast, as well as Eastern and Southern Oregon.

The list has two trees in Central Oregon: the Big Tree, a ponderosa pine at La Pine State Park; and the Wheeler Elm, an elm tree near Mitchell.

Adding a committee member from Central Oregon — it hasn’t had one from this area for years — could increase the number of local trees on the list, said Jennifer Karps, who coordinates tree planting programs for Portland and chairs the committee.

In designating heritage trees, the committee doesn’t look for the biggest or the bushiest specimens, but rather, those with the deepest roots in the state’s

W B Russians protest NATO plans for city MOSCOW — Nationalist and leftist groups marched on Saturday in a central Russian city to protest a proposal by NATO to set up a transit hub for goods shipped to and from Afghanistan.

NATO is in talks with Russia to establish the site for shipping items like armored cars or medical equipment through Ulyanovsk, a city about 500 miles southeast of Moscow that is best known as Lenin’s birthplace.

The Russian government, concerned about instability in Afghanistan, supports the idea. But protests in Ulyanovsk began last month and have drawn some of the opposition leaders who rose to prominence during protests in Moscow last winter. While they are unlikely to thwart the plans, the protests pose a new quandary for Prime Minister Vladimir Putin, who is not usually on the defensive when it comes to standing up to NATO.

Obama finds fault with both Sudans President Barack Obama urged Sudan and South Sudan to end their fighting and begin negotiations to settle the intensifying conflict between the newly

The committee added three trees this year, including a clone of the Trysting Tree on the Oregon State University campus in Corvallis. Lovers would meet under the broad branches of the original gray poplar, which was cut down in 1987 because of disease. The tree is hailed in a 1908 poem.

separated countries edging toward full-scale war in a dispute over sharing oil revenue.

In a video message recorded in the White House and released late Friday, Obama put part of the onus on the government of Sudan, which he said “must stop its military actions, including aerial bombardments.� He said the heated words between the countries had raised the risk of war at a time when neither side can afford continued conflict.

Obama did not let South Sudan off the hook either. “Likewise, the government of South Sudan must end its support for armed groups inside Sudan, and it must cease its military actions across the border,�

Obama said.

Uncertainty after Chavez’s 7-day silence CARACAS, Venezuela — President Hugo Chavez has been out of sight for a week, speaking only through Twitter messages and written statements while undergoing cancer treatment in Cuba.

“There is reasonable suspicion to believe that Mexican and USA laws have been violated.”

— Wal-Mart’s lead investigator, in a confidential report about its Mexican stores

Wal-Mart silenced vast bribery case

By David Barstow New York Times News Service

MEXICO CITY — In September 2005, a senior WalMart lawyer received an alarming email from a former executive at the company’s largest foreign subsidiary, Wal-Mart de Mexico. In the email and follow-up conversations, the former executive described how Wal-Mart de Mexico had orchestrated a campaign of bribery to win market dominance. In its rush to build stores, he said, the company had paid bribes to obtain permits in virtually every corner of the country.

The former executive gave names, dates and bribe amounts. He knew so much, he explained, because for years he had been the lawyer in charge of obtaining construction permits for WalMart de Mexico.

Wal-Mart dispatched investigators to Mexico City, and within days they unearthed evidence of widespread bribery. They found a paper trail of hundreds of suspect payments totaling more than $24 million. They also found documents showing that Wal-Mart de Mexico’s top executives not only knew about the payments, but had taken steps to conceal them from Wal-Mart’s headquarters in Bentonville, Ark. In a confidential report to his superiors, Wal-Mart’s lead investigator, a former FBI special agent, summed up their initial findings this way: “There is reasonable suspicion to believe that Mexican and USA laws have been violated.”

The lead investigator recommended that Wal-Mart expand the investigation. Instead, an examination by The New York Times found, WalMart’s leaders shut it down.

Kept in the dark Neither American nor Mexican law enforcement officials were notified. None of WalMart de Mexico’s leaders were disciplined. Indeed, its chief executive, Eduardo CastroWright, identified by the former executive as the driving force behind years of bribery, was promoted to vice chairman of Wal-Mart in 2008. Until this article, the allegations and Wal-Mart’s investigation had never been publicly disclosed.

But the Times’ examination uncovered a prolonged struggle at the highest levels of WalMart, a struggle that pitted the company’s much publicized commitment to the highest moral and ethical standards against its relentless pursuit of growth.

Under fire from labor critics, worried about press leaks and facing a sagging stock price, Wal-Mart’s leaders rec-

Knopp Continued from A1 Campaign records show that over the years, notable politicians across the state and locally, including Tony DeBone and Tammy Baney, have also benefited from Knopp’s fundraising.

Now that he’s running for office again, Knopp said, he’s distanced himself from the two PACs, called the Reagan PAC and Central Oregonians for Affordable Housing PAC, and focused efforts on the PAC aimed solely at electing him state senator.

Knopp founded the Reagan PAC in 2010. The goal, he said, was to unite people around President Ronald Reagan’s principles of “limited government and expanded freedom.”

After watching small businesses come “under attack in 2009,” he started the PAC to help more Republicans get elected. Since then, the PAC has contributed about $200,000 to a slew of candidates.

It contributed more than $16,000 to Conger. It gave more than $1,000 to both Reps. Gene Whisnant, R-Sunriver, and McLane, and since its creation more than $3,000 to Telfer.

Knopp credits his fundraising success to simply being willing to ask for donations.

“You have to talk to a lot of people, and I think my success has come down to calling people and talking to them face to face,” he said.

It’s also easier to ask for

Josh Haner / New York Times News Service

A family shops at a Walmart store in Mexico City. Wal-Mart de Mexico, the big-box giant’s operation south of the border, was the chain’s brightest success story; today, one in five Walmarts is located in Mexico. But, confronted with evidence of widespread corruption here, top Wal-Mart executives focused more on damage control than on rooting out wrongdoing, a media investigation has found.

ognized that the allegations could have devastating consequences, documents and interviews show. So, it appears, top Wal-Mart executives focused more on damage control than on rooting out wrongdoing.

In one meeting where the bribery case was discussed, H. Lee Scott, then Wal-Mart’s chief executive, rebuked internal investigators for being overly aggressive. Days later, records show, Wal-Mart’s top lawyer arranged to ship the internal investigators’ files on the case to Mexico City. Primary responsibility for the investigation was then given to the general counsel of WalMart de Mexico — a remarkable choice since the same general counsel was alleged to have authorized bribes.

The general counsel promptly exonerated his fellow WalMart de Mexico executives.

When Wal-Mart’s director of corporate investigations — a former top FBI official — read the general counsel’s report, his appraisal was scathing.

“Truly lacking,” he wrote in an email to his boss.

The report was nonetheless accepted by Wal-Mart’s leaders as the last word on the matter.

In December, after learning of the Times’ reporting in Mexico, Wal-Mart informed the Justice Department that it had begun an internal investigation into possible violations of the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act, a federal law that makes it a crime for American corporations and their subsidiaries to bribe foreign officials. WalMart said the company had learned of possible problems with how it obtained permits, but stressed that the issues were limited to “discrete” cases.

“We do not believe that these matters will have a material adverse effect on our business,” the company said in

donations for a PAC than for a specific candidate, he said.

With both the Reagan PAC and the Central Oregonians for Affordable Housing PAC, it’s easier to raise money for a “cause” than it is for his personal PAC, geared toward the sole purpose of getting him elected. The Central Oregonians for Affordable Housing PAC has similar goals of the Reagan PAC and is affiliated with the Central Oregon Builders Association, where Knopp is the executive vice president.

The Central Oregonians for Affordable Housing PAC has contributed about $75,000 to candidates since 2010.

Since then, it’s doled out $8,000 to Whisnant, $5,000 to McLane, $3,700 to Telfer and $1,000 to Conger.

Knopp said that since he’s decided to run for election, he’s distanced himself from the two PACs and is no longer the one who signs the checks.

That duty falls to his longtime friend and colleague at COBA, Andy High.

Knopp discredits the idea that by maintaining the PACs he’s kept his hand in the political game, all but ensuring support if he were to run again. “I really didn’t make a decision until late February of this year to run and had to file on the deadline of March 6,” he said.

He said that when people asked months before if he had plans to run for office, he would have answered no.

“That’s how quickly things

a filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

But the Times’ examination found credible evidence that bribery played a persistent and significant role in Wal-Mart’s rapid growth in Mexico, where Wal-Mart now employs 209,000 people, making it the country’s largest private employer.

A Wal-Mart spokesman confirmed that the company’s Mexico operations — and its handling of the 2005 case — were now a major focus of its inquiry.

“If these allegations are true, it is not a reflection of who we are or what we stand for,” the spokesman, David Tovar, said.

“We are deeply concerned by these allegations and are working aggressively to determine what happened.”

The investigation The Times obtained hundreds of internal company documents — as well as thousands of government documents related to permit requests — tracing the evolution of Wal-Mart’s 2005 Mexico investigation. The Times conducted extensive interviews with participants in WalMart’s investigation. The company documents show WalMart’s leadership immediately recognized the seriousness of the allegations. Working in secrecy, a small group of executives, including several current members of Wal-Mart’s senior management, kept close tabs on the inquiry.

The Times laid out this article’s findings to Wal-Mart weeks ago. The company said it shared the findings with many of the executives named here, including Scott, now on Wal-Mart’s board, and Castro-Wright, who is retiring in July. Both men declined to comment, Tovar said.

In the meantime, Tovar said,

change in the political process,” he said.

Political action committees have long been part of the machine. But it’s much more common now for people to raise money in an effort to help members in their party get elected, rather than simply raising it to get yourself elected, said Oregon State University political science professor and political analyst Bill Lunch.

The power to raise funds quickly also helps a member “gain influence within their caucus,” and that’s increased over the years, Lunch said.

The other big change was the U.S. Supreme Court decision in the Citizens United case that ruled corporations and unions are persons under the Constitution and can therefore contribute any amount to political campaigns. But in Oregon politics, it’s long been the case that there are no limits on campaign contributions or expenditures, as in other states.

Lunch said the evidence is thin that campaign contributions equal political sway when it comes to casting votes on legislation.

“Lots of people have a suspicion that under the table, there must be a quid pro quo for large contributions,” he said.

“It’s not unreasonable to think that because it does happen, but most of the time it’s not the case. (But) it’s exceedingly difficult … to know.”

Wal-Mart is taking steps in Mexico to strengthen compliance with the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act. “We do not and will not tolerate noncompliance with FCPA anywhere or at any level of the company,” he said.

The Times’ examination included more than 15 hours of interviews with the former executive, Sergio Cicero Zapata, who resigned from Wal-Mart de Mexico in 2004 after nearly a decade in the company’s real estate department.

In the interviews, Cicero recounted how he had helped organize years of payoffs. He described personally dispatching two trusted outside lawyers to deliver envelopes of cash to government officials. They targeted mayors and city council members, obscure urban planners, low-level bureaucrats who issued permits — anyone with the power to thwart WalMart’s growth. The bribes, he said, bought zoning approvals, reductions in environmental impact fees and the allegiance of neighborhood leaders.

He called it working “the dark side of the moon.”

Congress confronts a rising cyber threat growing problem mean that solutions are a long way off.

Chief among the disputes is the role of the government in protecting the private sector.

The U.S. Chamber of Commerce and other business groups oppose requiring cybersecurity standards.

Rules imposed by Washington would increase their costs without reducing their risks, they say.

Obama administration officials and security experts say companies that operate power plants, communication systems, chemical facilities and more should have to meet performance standards to prove they can withstand attacks or recover quickly from them.

The rift echoes the heated debate in Washington over the scope of government and whether new regulations hamper private businesses.

Homeland Security Secretary Janet Napolitano said Friday that without standards for critical industries, there will be gaps that U.S. adversaries can exploit.

“That system, which is mostly in private hands, needs to all come up to a certain baseline level,” she said.

The Associated Press The mysterious caller claimed to be from Microsoft and offered step-by-step instructions to repair damage from a software virus. The electric power companies weren’t falling for it.

The caller, who was never traced or identified, helpfully instructed the companies to enable specific features in their computers that actually would have created a trapdoor in their networks. That vulnerability would have allowed hackers to shut down a plant and thrown thousands of customers into the dark.

The power employees hung up on the caller and ignored the advice.

The incident from February, documented by one of the government’s emergency cyber-response teams, shows the persistent threat of electronic attacks and intrusions that could disrupt the country’s most critical industries.

This week, the House will consider legislation to better defend these and other corporate networks from foreign governments, cybercriminals and terrorist groups. But deep divisions over how best to handle the

Edwards’ lawyers to follow the trail of secret payments

A VOLCANO SPITS AND SPUTTERS, AND MEXICO CITY PREPARES Streetlights illuminate Xalitzintla, Mexico, as the looming volcano spews lava, ash and steam in the town’s shadows Saturday.

Even a large eruption of the 17,886-foot cone of Popocatepetl is unlikely to do more than dump ash on nearby Mexico City, one of the world’s largest metro areas. But the grit could play havoc with the busy airport, and tens of thousands of people in the farming villages on its flanks could be forced to flee. And authorities prepared evacuation routes, ambulances and shelters in the event of a bigger explosion.

Popo, as it’s known, has put out small eruptions of ash almost daily since a round of eruptive activity began in 1994. A week ago, the eruptions started growing larger.

The Associated Press GREENSBORO, N.C. — Defense lawyers for John Edwards will argue at his trial that much of the nearly $1 million in secret payments at issue in the criminal case against their client were actually siphoned off by a trusted aide to build an expansive dream home.

The former aide, Andrew Young, is potentially the prosecution’s most important witness: He was once so loyal to Edwards he falsely claimed paternity of the baby fathered by his married boss in an attempt to avoid a sex scandal.

Young’s testimony, along with a cache of voice mails he received from Edwards,

Best course for Iran talks? Take it slow, experts say

By Roy Gutman McClatchy Newspapers

ISTANBUL, Turkey — After 15 months of rising tensions and fears of military confrontation, the foreign policy chief of the European Union sat down for dinner April 13 with the personal representative of Iran’s supreme leader, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, at the Iranian consulate, not far from Istanbul’s Grand Bazaar.

In the course of three hours, they deliberately avoided the topic that had drawn them to Istanbul: Iran’s nuclear fuel program, which major powers, Iran’s Arab neighbors and Israel fear could open the way to Iran acquiring atomic weapons.

Instead, Catherine Ashton, representing six major powers and the European Union, and Saeed Jalili, representing Iran, spoke about their hometowns, religion, the Arab Spring, democracy and the role of women, said an EU diplomat, who wasn’t authorized to discuss the details of the private meeting publicly and spoke on condition of anonymity.

The icebreaker at the private residence of the Iranian consul led one day later to the most serious and businesslike meeting in recent memory between Iran and the other countries, in which the sides agreed to pursue a “comprehensive negotiated solution” to one of the world’s most vexing security problems at another round of talks next month.

Whether a deal comes off, ending a 10-year-long international standoff with Iran, depends on whether both sides can put aside their historical complaints against each other and focus instead on immediate, concrete confidence-building steps, according to experts in and out of government.

Is Iran willing to suspend its enrichment program, which has produced a stockpile of more than 100 kilograms of fissile material at 20 percent purity, a level pure enough for nuclear reactors but still well below what’s needed for a nuclear weapon? Is the Obama administration, in the midst of a presidential election campaign, willing to delay implementing unilateral sanctions set to go into effect in late in June? And is Europe, whose ban on buying Iranian oil kicks in July 1?

Israel: elephant in the room One of the key actors in the drama, Israel, is not at the table. Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has threatened to launch a military attack on Iran’s nuclear program if the West can’t bring the Islamic Republic to heel. Netanyahu already has called the scheduling of new talks in Baghdad for May 23 a “freebie” that allowed Iran five additional weeks to enrich uranium.

“They are the elephant in the parlor,” said Mark Hibbs a Berlin-based scholar with the Carnegie Endowment for International Peace. “Everyone sitting at the table will be aware that if we don’t have an outcome that looks like a roadmap that can inspire

confidence, we’re courting an Israeli attack on Iran and the likelihood of a war in the region.”

President Barack Obama has hinted he’s ready to delay sanctions if there’s progress, saying that Iran is about to face extremely tough sanctions “if they don’t take advantage of these talks.” He added, “I hope they do.”

Overcoming suspicion Looking past the suspicion that history creates will be a vexing problem, said a European diplomat — speaking on condition of anonymity because of the sensitivity of the talks — who is well informed about the nuclear talks but whose country is not at the table. “It’s a damning picture,” he said.

Hibbs said he believes the issue can be dealt with successfully. “Clever people in the room could devise a way of dealing with past activities,” he said. “There are a number of cases where the IAEA has gone into countries and has been able to reconstruct the history of complex nuclear programs and previously undeclared activities. Then it’s gone into those countries and verified that things are as they should be.” The two examples he mentioned were Brazil and South Africa, both of which at one time had nuclear weapons programs.

The European diplomat said the negotiators really have no choice. “Either they will be clever and wise and judicious, and test the waters, see what avenues they can take, or they will be driven into a dead end,” he said, referring to the six major powers.

Likely to happen Hibbs said he thinks that the six global powers — China, Russia, Great Britain, France, Germany and the United States — will recognize explicitly that Iran has the right to enrich uranium under the 1968 Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty. In return, Iran will agree to international monitoring and procedures intended to make sure it’s not building a bomb.

But that agreement may never satisfy Israel, because “at the end of the day, Iran will be able to enrich uranium” and will retain the nuclear know-how useful for building a bomb “should Iran decide to go that route,” Hibbs said.

“These are assets which cannot be taken away from Iran.”

Iran’s history of hiding its nuclear weapons programs will play into that equation.

The International Atomic Energy Agency has found evidence that Iran had a nuclear weapons program until 2003, a case it laid out in an annex to its November 2011 report on Iran’s noncompliance with the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty.

Adding to that is the fact that Iran concealed for 18 years, until 1982, the existence of a plant to enrich uranium, something that it was obligated to disclose under the nonproliferation treaty.

will be vital to making the government’s case that the Democrat masterminded the effort to hide his pregnant mistress as he sought the White House in 2008.

Destroying Young’s credibility with the jury, therefore, will be essential for the defense team’s strategy.

Opening arguments are set for Monday, with the trial expected to last at least six weeks. Edwards, 58, has pleaded not guilty to six criminal counts related to campaign finance violations. The indictment filed by the U.S. Justice Department last year recounts more than $933,000 in unreported payments from two campaign donors.

LOCAL BRIEFING Shevlin Park fire held to 2 acres Fire crews will return to Shevlin Park today to check on a small wildfire found there Saturday afternoon.

Ben Duda of the Oregon Department of Forestry said the fire in the far southwest corner of the park was first reported around 1:15 p.m.

Crews from the Bend Fire Department, ODF and the Deschutes National Forest were sent to the park and contained the fire to approximately 2 acres.

The fire is believed to have been caused by a smoldering brush pile left behind following fuels reduction work performed earlier in the week.

Duda said crews were heading home for the night around 8 p.m. Saturday but would return early today to extinguish any remaining hot spots in the deep duff.

SALEM — Sen. Bruce Starr, R-Hillsboro, spent more campaign dollars early on than he would have liked, made summer plans he’ll likely have to break and promised clients he would have more time after May 15.

That’s when he thought he was facing Brad Avakian in the race for Oregon Labor Commissioner in the spring primary.

Last month, when the secretary of state announced that the nonpartisan race would be held in November rather than in

ELECTION: OREGON LABOR COMMISSIONER Inside • Bios of Starr and Avakian, B2 May, as in years past, Starr said he had to rework his campaign and life strategy.

“What irritates me the most is not the political ramifications. I think those are clear,” Starr said. “But it’s the personal impact on me, myself, my family and my business.”

Both candidates thought the race would be settled after the May ballot.

But Secretary of State Kate Brown cited a change in a 2009 law as the reason for changing the race to November.

Starr accused Brown’s office of misinterpreting the law in a way that would favor his opponent. The race is nonpartisan, but Starr is a Republican.

Avakian, who is the current labor commissioner, served in the state Legislature as a Democrat. Starr filed a lawsuit to change the date, but was unsuccessful.

• Girl Scouts build a garden to provide fresh food to center

By Scott Hammers The Bulletin

WASHINGTON WEEK WASHINGTON — On Monday, while millions of Americans were scrambling to file their federal tax returns, the Senate Democrats tried to initiate discussion of the Buffett Rule.

Mentioned by President Barack Obama during his State of the Union address, the Buffett Rule takes its name from billionaire financier Warren Buffett, who stated publicly that he thinks it is wrong that his secretary pays a higher tax rate than he does. Obama proposed the Buffett Rule, which would require that anyone with an adjusted gross income of $1 million or more annually pay an effective tax rate of at least 30 percent. Following an extended media campaign by the White House, Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid, D-Nev., tried to bring the matter to the Senate floor, but Republicans moved to block it.

Within a few months, a diner at Bend’s Community Center could be enjoying a meal made possible by two eighth-graders.

Audrey Parks and Brooke Bennett have spent the past several months putting together plans for a chicken coop and vegetable garden to provide fresh food to the community center and earn the Girl Scouts Silver Award. Saturday, assisted by friends and family, they finished their work and planted their first seeds.

was a bonus.

“We’d actually scheduled it before spring break, but the land wasn’t ready,” Brooke

said. “Which actually worked better, because it would have been snowing, which would have been miserable.”

For starters, the girls plan to raise carrots, beans, squash, peas and beets, with additional crops rotated in as their plants come to maturity.

Community center director Taffy Gleason said eggs and vegetables raised by the girls will be a welcome addition to the menu.

While local gardeners and others donate some food, the community center buys roughly 60 percent of its food. Every week, the kitchen goes through hundreds of heads of lettuce and about 40 pounds of tomatoes, Gleason said.

“We do 2,000 meals a week, and we always have a fresh salad bar, so you can imagine how much produce we go through,” she said.

WALDO LAKE

Planes may be getting landing limits

By Dylan J. Darling The Bulletin

When they return to Waldo Lake, seaplanes may have to have a permit aboard.

The Oregon Marine Board voted earlier this month to retain a ban on gas motors on the lake. But the board also lifted a ban on seaplanes, reasoning that they were a matter for the Oregon State Aviation Board.

The Aviation Board is now considering a number of Waldo Lake regulations, from permits to restrictions on the times and locations seaplanes may land. These will be the topic of a stakeholders meeting, likely next week in either Salem or Portland, said Mitch Swecker, Aviation Board director.

“We’ll be discussing whether there is common ground and whether we can reach it,” he said.

Swecker said the stakeholders negotiating at the meeting may include the Sierra Club, the Columbia Seaplane Pilots Association and the Marine Board. The Marine Board will finalize the lifting of the seaplane ban early next month with the secretary of state, said Marine Board Director Scott Brewen.

Issuing permits would also be a way to address concerns raised by environmental groups like the Sierra Club, which believe seaplanes might spread invasive species that cling to their bottoms, said Swecker. To receive a permit, a plane would have to go through an invasive species inspection.

Permits also would tell officials how many seaplanes — also referred as float planes by state agencies — are landing on Waldo Lake.

Before the Marine Board made the controversial vote to ban gas boat motors and seaplanes in 2010, the Aviation Board estimates 20 to 30 planes landed on the lake per year.

100 YEARS AGO For the week ending April 21, 1912

Why not smile?

Why should a Bend man smile?

Because: Substantial, permanent brick and stone

buildings costing more than $70,000 have been built within the last month, are under construction or will be commenced within a month.

Because: There is more home-building, more attractive residences being erected here, than in any town of Bend’s size in Oregon.

Because: Two first class railroads are operating in Bend, and Bend has the best warehouse and terminal facilities of any town east of the Cascades.

Because: The distributing

business of Bend is growing every day, making this the most important railroad point in the interior.

Because: Bend has a brick yard with modern machinery and an inexhaustible supply of splendid clay, which can supply cheaply the best of building materials for a large city.

Because: Bend has a creamery making a permanent market for all farmers of this territory for their milk and cream and giving the most valuable kind of impetus to

agricultural development.

Because: Bend has the only ice plant in the interior, ensuring the town the best to be had in this line and meaning that money from other towns will come here for the Bend made product.

Also, there are many, many other reasons why Bend boosters should smile.

These are just a few — if your neighbor looks glum, remind him that the next year will see even more smile-makers than have the past twelve months.

Something new in kicks Did you ever see a property owner who made a kick because his taxes were too low? There are some people at Redmond, it seems, who take things this way, according to the Spokesman. This grievance is that the county assessor and the board of equalization have made it appear that Redmond has made no progress in real estate valuation during the past two years.

Labor Continued from B1 The thought is that more Republican voters will vote in the primary, while Democrats will turn out to vote in November because of the presidential election.

The labor commissioner is charged with overseeing the state’s Bureau of Labor and Industries.

The state senator runs his own public affairs consulting company. Avakian, the incumbent, was a former civil rights attorney who also served in both the House and Senate.

Starr, who grew up on his parent’s farm outside of Hillsboro, said his background as a small business owner sets him apart from his opponent.

The job, he said, is about working with small business owners to ensure they have a “partner in the bureau.”

“I think it’s important to be proactive. I’ve traveled the state from one end to the other.

The incumbent is certainly not out doing that,” Starr said.

“I’ve been meeting with businessmen and women, asking them what they need to grow and thrive and prosper.”

Avakian said his first four years in the position have been

Paulina Lake is still covered with ice, but some good catches are being made through the stratified snow, ice and slush, Caleb Williamson and Herb Lassiter reported today on their return from the mountain lake. Both got their limits. They counted 15 cars parked near the snow line on their return.

Anglers going into the lake over the week end still face a 2½ mile hike to Paulina, the Bend fishermen said.

Hatchery to be operated in Bend W.B. Hutchens, for seven years operator of the Central Oregon hatchery of Redmond has purchased the Bend Woolen Mill building and will open a branch of his hatchery here Saturday. Hutchens announced purchase of the building from Arthur Stipe of the Bend Furniture company today, Remodeling work is now under way at the plant, on the north highway.

Hutchens plans to install equipment for hatching about 30,000 eggs here this season, possibly enlarging the plant later in the year. Custom hatching of chicks, will be done here, while turkey hatching will continue at the Redmond plant, with none in Bend at present.

A feature of the Bend plant will be a number of brooder rooms to care for baby chicks.

For a number of years Hutchens has considered operating a plant in Bend, he stated today. He considers the woolen mill building, with its thick walls and high ceiling, ideal for hatchery work. Hutchens uses only Central Oregon eggs — both chickens and turkeys — in his hatchery operations, finding them much more dependable than eggs shipped in from other districts. The Redmond plant has a capacity of 82,000 eggs this season.

The Bend Woolen Mill building has been used as a warehouse by the Bend Furniture company in recent years.

It has been many years since it was used as a woolen mill.

‘Hosmer Lake’ proposal made A proposal has been submitted to the Oregon Geographic Names Board that the name of Mud Lake, located abut a mile southeast of Elk Lake, be renamed Hosmer Lake, in honor of the late Paul Hosmer of Bend.

The proposal has been made by Harold H. Keil, associate editor of The Timberman, Portland. Phil F. Brogan, Bend, chairman of the Geographic Names Board, administered by the Oregon Historical, said formal consideration of the proposed name change would take place at the June meeting of the board in Astoria.

Final approval, however, must come from the U.S. Board on Geographic Names, Washington, D.C. Last year, the Board at its meeting in Portland received a proposal that Mud Lake be known as Lake Salar, for the Atlantic salmon, Salmo salar.

The board rejected the proposal. Mud Lake several years ago was stocked with Atlantic salmon, but Board members

On Thursday, the House of Representatives passed the Small Business Tax Cut Act, which would give businesses with fewer than 500 employees a 20 percent tax break. The legislation, introduced by House Majority Leader Eric Cantor, R-Va., is designed to give small businesses a tax break so they can use the extra capital to hire more employees. Democrats criticized the bill as being so broadly worded that the $47 billion in tax benefits would apply to many wealthy business owners who didn’t need it. Eighteen Democrats joined the 217 Republicans

held that it may not always be an Atlantic salmon lake.

The proposal that the lake be renamed in honor of Paul Hosmer has received strong support in Central Oregon.

Strongly backing the proposal are officials of Brooks-Scanlon, Inc. Hosmer edited that firm’s publication, Pine Echos, for 41 years.

“Paul took a great deal of interest in the recent Mud Lake rehabilitation project, first the lake eradication and then the planting of Atlantic Salmon,” Keil noted. He added: “Paul Hosmer’s long years of active interest in the recreation development of Central Oregon deserves honoring, and re-naming the lake would be a most appropriate means of perpetuating his name.

charmed crowds at Portland Zoo. Berry has been besieged with offers for the pair, including at least $30,000 from Hollywood animal dealer Louis Goebel.

Portlanders hope to buy Belle, baby The people of Portland, their hearts stolen by Belle and her new baby elephant, moved today to save the pair from animal dealers by buying them for the city.

A drive was launched to raise $30,000 within two weeks to purchase Belle and her three-day-old son.

That is the amount of time granted to the city under an option concluded here Monday between City Commissioner Ormand Bean and Belle’s owner, Morgan Berry of Seattle.

“Belle and her baby have won their way into the hearts of Portland people,” Bean said as he signed the agreement.

He said some businessmen immediately responded with pledges.

If elected, Starr said, his biggest goal will be working to ensure that small businesses do well.

“I understand the challenges ... when a bureaucrat in Portland or in Salem comes up with a new idea and ultimately it cascades into a new regulation or another form that a business owner has to fill out,” Starr said.

Avakian, who ran in the Democratic congressional primary race for the 1st Congressional District which Suzanne Bonamici won, said he wants to finish some of the projects he’s started in his first term.

One of those, he said, is leveling the wage disparity between men and women.

Avakian said he’s coupled with the Oregon Council on Civil Rights and hopes to roll out a program that will educate willing employers how to self-audit and ensure that they are paying employees equal wages for equal work.

“The only way to solve this problem is not through enforcement, but to work cooperatively to change the culture of their business,” Avakian said of wage gaps between men and women.

Beams from mill are being recycled

Pickard vote on bill angers constituent

The huge beams that supported the Shevlin-Hixon lumber mill buildings in Bend for more than 70 years are being “recycled” for use in new construction.

Hap Taylor, owner of the salvage company that is tearing down the Shevlin-Hixon buildings, said lumber mills Prineville and Cottage Grove purchased most of the timbers and will resell them after running them thorough their sawmills.

“It’s more or less an experiment for them, but they say those timbers are from oldgrowth Douglas fir trees and are better wood than anything the mills can get these days,” said Taylor. “Our problem is getting all the metal (nails) out of the beams before they run them through their saws.

Taylor’s crew two weeks ago demolished one of the three Shevlin-Hixon buildings that had been standing when the mill closed in 1950.

The crew has begun demolishing the second of the three buildings, and Taylor predicted Tuesday that everything at the site near Colorado Avenue will be leveled in about three weeks.

“It’s going really well,” said Taylor, whose crews also tore down the old St. Charles Hospital in downtown Bend.

Freshman state Rep. Bob Pickard, R-Bend, cast a key vote to move a mandatory seat-belt bill one step closer to law this week, then quickly learned the political price of his vote.

“Some fellow called this morning and said he was immediately going to start a movement to recall me from the legislature,” said Pickard.

Legislators who support the bill say that mandatory seat-belt use will reduce injuries and thus cut medical cost.

Opponents say the law would infringe on the constitutional rights of motorists.

Pickard said he is not swayed by the constitutional argument.

“The statement that I like is that death is the greatest inhibitor of personal freedoms,” said Pickard.

Search suspended for man who fell off ship PORTLAND — The U.S. Coast Guard has suspended an air and sea search for a man who fell off a ship into the Columbia River entrance on the Oregon-Washington border early Saturday morning.

The man, who was not identified by authorities, was not wearing a life jacket. Searchers recovered a yellow hard hat he was seen wearing and a life ring thrown in the water after him.

The Matisse, a 591-foot bulk carrier, reported the man missing just before 1 a.m. on Saturday.

The Coast Guard suspended the search at 7:30 a.m.

2 state inmates have chicken pox SALEM — The Oregon Corrections Department says two inmates at the state penitentiary have chicken pox.

Spokeswoman Michelle Dodson said Friday they have not needed outside treatment.

She says the Corrections Department has worked with the Oregon Public Health Division on treatment and control measures.

The penitentiary in Salem is a maximum security prison housing about 2,100 inmates.

Hydrant crash spews water into street KEIZER — Keizer police say a vehicle crashed into a fire hydrant Friday, causing hundreds of gallons of water per minute to spew into the street.

Police think the 57-year-old driver crashed because of a medical condition.

Traffic on River Road was shut down for an hour while crews worked to clear the water and accompanying mud.

More hearings ahead on fatal sinking WARRENTON — The U.S. Coast Guard plans more hearings later this spring into the sinking of the fishing vessel Lady Cecelia. It disappeared March 10 off the coast of southern Washington, and four people died.

The Coast Guard held four days of hearings this week at Camp Rilea in Warrenton, hearing from members of the family, the ship’s owner, maintenance workers, inspectors and others. It plans to resume in May or June.

Testimony dealt with the size of the catch aboard the vessel and its seaworthiness.

The Lady Cecelia sank as it was returning with a haul that family members and nearby skippers estimated could be 70,000 pounds of fish.

Bomb squad probes object in wrecked car SILVERTON — A state police bomb squad investigated what officers called a suspicious object in a wrecked car near Silverton Thursday morning.

The police didn’t describe the object specifically, saying that its appearance raised the possibility that it could be dangerous, and the bomb squad took steps from a distance to “render it safe.”

The police said 21-year-old Ivan Shubin of Turner was driving a car that left the road and hit a utility pole on Oregon 213 about 6:45 a.m.

The police said he was hospitalized and expected to live.

Teen jogger reports attempted abduction O’BRIEN — A teenage jogger in Southern Oregon has told authorities she escaped after a struggle with a man who tried to abduct her.

The Josephine County sheriff’s office says the 15year-old victim reported she had stopped at a bridge Thursday evening, and a man wearing a ski mask stopped a black van, grabbed her and tried to force her into the vehicle.

The teenager is from O’Brien, a town north of the California border and told deputies the van had California license plates.

Gratitude pie • Ashland woman bakes, gives away a pie every day — just to say thanks

By Buffy Pollock The Mail Tribune

MEDFORD — Pressing the edges of a thick, homemade pie crust into a pan one morning in March was simply a matter of routine for Karen Amarotico — her daily routine, in fact.

Sliced apples awaited peeling for pie No. 342 as the aromas of chocolate and crust wafted from pie No. 341, bubbling to perfection inside Amarotico’s hot oven.

On a yearlong mission to express gratitude and kindness to others through her baking, Amarotico made a pie each day from April 7, 2011, to April 7 this year and gave them away to someone nice.

Today’s crumb-top apple pie is bound for a longtime friend Amarotico wants to thank for always being kind. The chocolate-cookie-dough-pie crust concoction will go to a cousin as thanks for fond childhood memories and a dance at a recent reunion.

Amarotico, who baked her first pie at the ripe old age of 10, says the idea popped into her mind in the middle of the night. Wanting to find a way to show gratitude to others, the Ashland resident started with the notion of writing thankyou notes to people in her life. When her first heartfelt note garnered no response, she was dismayed, then soon distracted.

“I was trying to think of something I could do, but nothing really jumped out at me,” Amarotico recalls.

“Then a friend of ours asked if I would be on a list to make dinner for this friend whose husband was having surgery.

“I said, ‘Of course. Does she like quiche?’ So I go to bed thinking, ‘OK, I’m making a quiche for so-and-so, and I still need an idea for my gratitude project.’ ” Amarotico’s idea, combining her love of baking, helping others and storytelling, arrived just after midnight.

“At 2 in the morning, I sat up in bed and thought, ‘I could make pies!’ Of course,

Karen Amarotico of Ashland holds a ready-to-deliver chocolatechip pie. Amarotico baked a pie every day for a year.

I wake up the next morning, and I’m afraid to tell anybody because I think I might be insane,” she says with a laugh.

“So I called a friend and said, ‘Could you please have coffee with me? I need you to talk me out of something.’ ” That friend, Debbie Pool of Ashland, refused to talk Amarotico out of baking and telling great stories — two things she says her friend excels at doing.

As a result, Amarotico began her quest April 7, 2011, and has been blogging about it at www.pieadaygiveaway.com ever since.

Amarotico has given pies to family and friends as far away as Florida, as well as to local friends and many strangers.

On a vacation to Mexico last year, she even took no-bake and stovetop-friendly ingredients so she wouldn’t miss a day.

“I had all these big bags, and no one said a word when I went through customs!” says Amarotico, a graduate of the Culinary Institute of America.

Only one pie has been refused, by an elderly woman who a friend said was facing hard times. Even that lone rejection was part of her story, Amarotico says, pointing out that the pie did not go uneaten thanks to a hungry Salvation Army volunteer singing carols outside Bi-Mart.

Doing what she loves most and blogging about the experi-

ence for others to enjoy, Amarotico has amassed nearly 20,000 visits to her blog.

Her daughter, Alexandra Amarotico, couldn’t think of a blog more suited to her mother’s baking and generous nature.

“I cannot think of a day that I’ve known her where she didn’t give something away, reach out a hand to others or volunteer her time, her craft or her ear to a friend or a member of our community,” says the daughter.

Pool, the friend who refused to talk Amarotico out of baking 365 pastries, says she looks forward to her friend’s blogs each day.

“She’s really a very genuinely nice person,” says Pool.

“We’ve been friends for a number of years, and I’ve really enjoyed reading about all the people she knows. She’s very active in our community.

“This was really the right thing for her to do. It’s hard for her to not run into people who know about the pie project now. Everyone says, ‘Oh, you’re the pie lady!’ ” One of her pies garnered a thank-you note that stated: “Thank you for being unusually kind.”

“I just had to think, ‘You know, it’s too bad that it’s unusual!’ ” Amarotico says. “We don’t have all that long with the people we care about, and we all leave the planet sooner than we’d like. So why not be unusually kind?”

6 in 10 high school grads go to college The Associated Press PORTLAND — For the first time, Oregon education officials have hard data about how many high school seniors go on to higher education, and it shows the state is well below its goal of 80 percent.

Statistics from the nonprofit National Student Clearinghouse show that Oregon high schools send about 60 percent of graduates to college, The Oregonian reported Tuesday.

The paper said the state paid the nonprofit to provide records on every 2009 graduate who had enrolled in a college or university by 2010.

In the past, education officials have depended on self-reporting by seniors to find out how many were going to college.

The new stats show that even some of Oregon’s strongest school districts are falling short of the college goal.

For example, in Sherwood, a middle-class town with a reputation for strong schools, just 71 percent of 2009 grads tried community college or university, the figures show.

But more than 90 percent of seniors report they

are headed for college, said Rebecca Barton, Sherwood High’s college and career coordinator, who said she was perplexed by the finding.

She and others at the school drive home the importance of college.

“This is what we are: We are a college-minded community,” Barton said.

Gov. John Kitzhaber and the Legislature have embraced a “40-40-20” target: 40 percent of Oregonians earning bachelor’s degrees, 40 percent with a community college credential, whether an associate’s degree or industry certification, and 20 percent with a high school diploma.

Educators said, though, that cuts in state aid may drive down those rates.

In Gladstone, a blue-collar town where 13 percent of adults hold four-year degrees and nearly 40 percent of students classify as low-income, 74 percent of 2009 graduates enrolled in college.

The high rate is driven in part by the district’s alliance with Clackamas Community College that includes helping students earn lots of inexpensive community college credits.

But, said Principal Stu Evans, “We had a huge reduction last year, and we had to cut way back.”

Outage left thousands in Eugene without power The Associated Press EUGENE — A Eugene utility spokesman blames “a catastrophic equipment failure” for an outage that left about 8,000 customers without power.

A large circuit breaker at a Eugene Water & Electric substation exploded Wednesday. Crews had to shut down that substation and another to make repairs. Along with that, says spokesman Joe Harwood, a glitch caused a third substation to crash.

Customers noticed lights were flickering about 8:30 a.m., and the outage was

widespread an hour later. Traffic signals started malfunctioning, and officers started directing traffic. There were no reports of crashes.

Most customers were back online by noon.

Police close I-84, take man into custody after chase, standoff The Associated Press PORTLAND — Oregon State Police say they’ve arrested a Kelso, Wash., man after a high-speed chase and hours-long standoff along Interstate 84 east of The Dalles that closed a stretch of the highway for several hours.

They say a pickup truck sought after an earlier hit and run raced off at speeds approaching 100 mph when they tried to stop it Thursday.

Troopers deflated one of the truck’s tires with a spike strip and it stopped briefly, then took off for another nine miles.

Lt. Gregg Hastings says the male driver refused to come out after the truck finally stopped so the freeway was closed at about 9:30 a.m. A negotiator and state police SWAT team responded. After another three hours, the SWAT team chased the driver from the truck with a chemical agent and the highway was reopened.

David Clay Jennings of Kelso was arrested for investigation of hit and run, reckless driving and attempting to elude.

T W California schools harness sunshine to cut energy costs

By Bob Pool Los Angeles Times

LOS ANGELES — To plug in to solar energy, you need photovoltaic cells, controllers, inverters, combiner boxes and plenty of copper wiring.

Oh yes — and a compass.

Workers at Valencia High School found that out when they installed solar power arrays facing the wrong way.

The 4,815-panel project is just one of an increasing number of solar arrays springing up on campuses across the state as financially strapped school systems try to save billions in electricity costs. But tapping into the sun can be trickier than it looks, schools are discovering.

At Valencia High, a subcontractor apparently misread plans when bolting down some panels.

“They used a crane to pick them up and do a 180-degree spin,” explained Gail Pinsker, spokeswoman for the William S. Hart Union High School District. “They were aimed wrong.”

The repair job was free. So is the 7.3-megawatt system being installed by PsomasFMG. In exchange for use of the equipment, the Hart district is obligated to buy electricity from the private company, at a discounted rate, for 20 years.

After that, the company will remove the panels or extend the agreement. The equipment’s typical lifespan is 25 years, said Paul Mikos, executive vice president of the firm.

Such buyback deals, incentive programs, zero-interest

loans and direct purchases can save school systems as much as 85 percent of their electricity costs.

Finding a good spot to put huge solar arrays can be a challenge; California’s Division of the State Architect has to approve and oversee all installations.

When the Huntington Beach City School District teamed up with Chevron Energy Solutions to power nine campuses, many assumed the photovoltaic panels would be unobtrusively mounted on classroom roofs.

But the roof of the 78-yearold Dwyer Middle School wasn’t strong enough to hold them. When it wasn’t feasible to place the panels over the faculty parking lot, it was decided to plant them on the school’s front lawn. Students reacted swiftly.

“Get off our grass!” pupils chanted at protests last year.

Plans called for the construction of panels on the lawn where eighth-graders traditionally hold their culmination ceremonies.

The 12-foot-tall districtowned arrays, paid for by solar initiatives and federal bonds, were eventually built “with a split in the middle” where commencements can take place, said Principal Morgan Smith. Although some still find the panels unattractive, the installation “has not been a conversation this year” among students, he said.

The photovoltaic panels placed behind the Sonoma home where Nancie Ligon

Workers install solar panels in the parking lot of Taft High School in Woodland Hills, Calif.

California schools are turning to solar in hopes of saving billions statewide on energy.

and her husband, James, have lived for 34 years are certainly a conversation-starter, however. They and other neighbors say the ground-level arrays on land owned by the Sonoma Valley Unified School District are eyesores that were erected with insufficient notice and input from area residents.

“When one sees the size, scope and unsightliness of the solar farms, you quickly understand why the district was so secretive about these installations,” James Ligon wrote in a letter to the Sonoma Valley Sun. District Deputy Supt. Justin Frese refuted charges that the district was secretive. Residents were notified of the project, and voters in 2010 approved a $40 million general obligation bond that earmarked funds for the project. The district will also plant landscape screening when the solar installation is finished next month.

At the San Ramon Unified School District, which used federal bonds to place panels at five schools, there were disruptions last year at one cam-

pus during the construction.

But the district has decided to expand the program to a sixth campus, spokesman Terry Koehne said.

Los Angeles school leaders are also buying their own solar panels for 52 campuses and seven other district facilities.

They hope to save $112 million over the next 20 years with the 21-megawatt system.

Seventeen schools have received solar arrays so far.

The district is financing its $146-million program through a combination of local bond money and cash from its 2008 settlement with the Los Angeles Department of Water and Power of a lawsuit that alleged schools were overcharged for electricity for nearly two decades.

Los Angeles school officials have hired five private companies to provide and install equipment, said Shannon Haber, a spokeswoman for the district’s facilities department.

At Taft High School in Woodland Hills, Chevron Energy Solutions is putting 168 panels over the front faculty parking lot.

“This is very well-designed,” said Principal Delia Estrada, whose office window overlooks the work.

Health education teacher Bridget Brownell hinted that parking spots beneath the photovoltaic panels will be popular. Woodland Hills has the distinction of having recorded the hottest temperature ever in Los Angeles County: 119 degrees.

“The shade is an added bonus,” Brownell said.

Senior Sara Gedalia, 18, said the solar installation gives the high school a more modern look. Classmate Noah Segal wasn’t so sure.

“It kind of takes away from the look of Taft,” said Segal, also 18. “Maybe they should have gone on the roof.”

The Associated Press PORTLAND — Improved salmon stocks from the Klamath and Sacramento rivers in Oregon mean a longer fishing season near the Washington border.

The Oregon Fish and Wildlife Commission on Friday set its 2012 ocean salmon and halibut seasons.

The regulations must be approved by the National Marine Fishery Service and the U.S. Secretary of Commerce.

From Leadbetter Point, Wash., to Cape Falcon in Oregon, a smaller Chinook season will open on June 9 with an 8,000-fish catch limit, ending June 23, when the full coho and Chinook begins and lasts until the end of September.

The commission also approved a 9 percent increase in the halibut quota.

Venerable yacht club shaken by deaths in race

By Norimitsu Onishi

The Low Speed Chase lies on its side on the rocks of the Farallon Islands off the coast of San Francisco on April 14. In the worst yacht racing accident in Northern California in three decades, five sailing crew members were killed when the boat crashed onto the rocks during a race around the islands.

New York Times News Service

BELVEDERE, Calif. — Mourners had left behind flowers and cards at the entrance of the San Francisco Yacht Club, whose name and founding year, 1869, are engraved in the pavement. They were reminders that in the long history of the yacht club, the oldest on the West Coast, last weekend’s deaths amounted to its greatest tragedy.

The Low Speed Chase, a sailboat from the club here, crashed onto rocks during a regatta April 14 while racing around the Farallones, a group of uninhabited islands about 28 miles west of San Francisco. In the worst yacht racing accident in Northern California in three decades, only three of the boat’s eight crew members survived.

The accident has resonated in sailing circles in the Bay Area, where yacht clubs are a fabric of many communities and sailing, many say, is a way of life.

“It’s a very tightly knit community, so every sailor and racer in the Bay Area is going to take stock of what happened,” Ed Lynch, a director at the club, said as well-wishers greeted him outside the club building, which faces a cove with a view of the San Francisco skyline. “It’s going to be rough. It’s going to take time to get over this.”

Forty-nine boats from the Bay Area’s yacht clubs participated in Saturday’s race, which had been held annually since 1907 without incident, Lynch said. Departing from inside the Bay, passing under the Golden Gate Bridge, the boats went out 28 miles toward the Farallon Islands. Before returning, the teams had to

Brant Ward San Francisco Chronicle

engage in the race’s most difficult maneuver as their boats skirted one of the islands, keeping a distance that kept them safe from the craggy shore but would not cost them precious time.

Most races take place inside the Bay where conditions are less harsh and unpredictable than in the Pacific. Ocean races, like last weekend’s, were usually reserved for more experienced sailors.

According to survivors and other participants in the race, large swells swept over the Low Speed Chase before 3 p.m. near the island, sending all but one crew member overboard, Lynch said.

“They’re volcanic islands,” he said, “so they’re not surrounded by beaches but by rugged, rocky shores covered with moss and seaweed. It makes it difficult to pull yourself out of the water.”

The conditions that morning were described as average. But David Britt, who was participating in the race for the third time and belongs to another club, said the seas grew rougher than in the previous two years.

Britt’s crew members gave the Farallones a wide berth as they navigated his boat, Split Water, around the island.

“We probably were maybe three times further off shore than we had been before, and we wouldn’t have wanted to be in any closer, I can tell you that,” he said.

Britt was in a group of boats just ahead of a group that included Low Speed Chase.

“We kept looking back to see where they were after we had rounded and headed back to the city, and I didn’t see anything for a while, just one or two of the boats that stopped to coordinate the rescue,” he said.

A few days after the accident, sea lions and seals could be seen surrounding the wreck of the Low Speed Chase on the Farallon Islands.

Its owner, James Bradford, 41, was one of the three survivors, the authorities said.

Three of the five victims were associated with the San Francisco Yacht Club, including Marc Kasanin, Jordan Fromm, and Alan Cahill, Lynch said.

“Marc and Jordan grew up in this club,” he said.

Robert Griswold, another director at the club, said, “I’m not sure we know the full impact of the tragedy yet.”

Chuck Colson, Nixon’s ‘hatchet man,’ later became an evangelist Michael Dobbs Special to The Washington Post.

WASHINGTON — Charles Colson, the Republican political operative who boasted he would “walk over my own FEATUR ED grandmother�

OBITUARY to ensure the re-election of President Richard Nixon and went on to found a worldwide prison fellowship ministry after his conversion to evangelical Christianity, died Saturday at Inova Fairfax (Va.) Hospital.

He was 80.

The death, after a brain hemorrhage earlier this month, was confirmed by a family spokeswoman, Michelle Farmer. Colson was a resident of Naples, Fla., but maintained an apartment in the Leesburg, Va., area.

Colson’s reputation as a “dirty tricks artist� overshadowed his achievements as a darkly brilliant political strategist. He had helped lay the groundwork for the Nixon landslide of November 1972 by appealing to disgruntled Democrats and bluecollar minority voters.

A self-described “hatchet man� for Nixon, Colson compiled the notorious “enemies list� of politicians, journalists and activists perceived as threats to the White House.

And most fatefully, he helped orchestrate illegal activities to discredit former Pentagon official Daniel Ellsberg, who was suspected of leaking a topsecret history of the Vietnam War to The New York Times and The Washington Post.

The targeting of Ellsberg — rather than Colson’s peripheral involvement in the growing Watergate break-in scandal — led to his conviction for obstruction of justice. In the midst of this crisis, Colson said he underwent a profound religious transformation in August 1973.

Acting against the advice of his lawyers, Colson pleaded guilty to obstruction of justice, a step that he depicted as “a price I had to pay to complete the shedding of my old life and to be free to live the new.�

Released from prison on parole in January 1975, after seven months in a minimumsecurity facility, Colson became a leading voice in the evangelical movement and advocate for prison reform.

The need for such work, he said, was drawn from what he called his frightening experience in confinement. Prison, he said, was filled with embittered prisoners who contemplated escape and revenge at every turn. “He transferred his huge drive, intellect and maniacal energy from the service of Richard Nixon to the service of Jesus Christ,� said his biographer, Jonathan Aitken, a former British government minister who endured a similar journey of political disgrace and personal redemption following a 1999 conviction for perjury.

Colson’s autobiography, “Born Again,� first published in 1976, sold millions of copies over the years. In 1993, he was awarded the prestigious Templeton Prize, worth more than $1 million, which is given each year to the person who has done the most to advance the cause of religion.

Outwardly, Colson remained recognizably the same person before and after his conversion.

Even toward the end of his life, he retained the same amused expression in his heavily wrinkled face.

His crumpled look, fondness for blazers and striped ties, and talent for incisive repartee gave him the appearance of an overgrown New England prepschool boy, but also masked one of the traits he shared with Nixon: an outsider self-image.

Born Oct. 16, 1931, in Boston, Charles Wendell Colson was the only child of Wendell Colson and Inez “Dizzy� Colson.

Hard work and upward striving were central to the family ethic. His father got a job at the Securities and Exchange Commission by attending law school at night, which in turn made it possible to send their son Chuck to prep school in Cambridge.

The Associated Press file photo

Charles Colson, shown here in 1973, was convicted for obstruction of justice. He died Saturday at 80.

Although he was educated alongside the children of New England’s elite, the young Charles Colson took delight in defying convention. He claimed he refused a full scholarship to Harvard, a decision an admissions officer told him no one had ever made before. He went to Brown University, where he became a champion debater and leader of the Young Republicans, and later earned a law degree from George Washington University.

In June 1953, immediately after graduating with distinction from Brown, Colson joined the Marine Corps and married Nancy Billings. They divorced in 1963, leaving her with custody of the two younger children, Christian and Emily. The eldest child, Wendell, stayed with Colson.

In 1964, Colson married Patricia Ann Hughes, a secretary on the staff of Leverett Saltonstall, the senior senator for Massachusetts. Besides his wife, survivors include his three children and five grandchildren.

A moderate Republican, Saltonstall gave Colson his first big break in politics, hiring the young lawyer as his administrative assistant in 1956. Working for Saltonstall provided Colson with opportunities to meet then-vice president Nixon.

In an oral history interview for the Nixon library, Colson said he was impressed by Nixon’s conservative ideals and “wonderful mind.� “I was dazzled by the man,� he said.

Nixon viewed Colson as “fresh blood� and invited him to join the 1968 campaign. Colson moved to the White House after Nixon’s election victory as special counsel to the president and a counterweight to the “Berlin Wall� of H.R. Haldeman and John Ehrlichman.

Colson’s primary job was to form ties with outside groups, going around the mainstream media to assemble a “new populist majority,� but Nixon came to rely on the former Marine captain to cut through the bureaucracy and get things done. “I was the loose cannon,�

Colson recalled, adding that the president “would give me things to do, and Haldeman would never know it. He was threatened.�

In his autobiography, “The Ends of Power,� Haldeman wrote that Colson “encouraged the dark impulses in Nixon’s mind and acted on those impulses instead of ignoring them and letting them die.� Former press secretary Ron Ziegler complained that Colson “would take an off-thecuff Nixon instruction literally and implement it.�

Colson was proud of his reputation for political ruthlessness, summed up by a Green Beret slogan that he affixed to the den of his McLean, Va., house: “When you’ve got ’em by the balls, their hearts and minds will follow.�

In his August 2007 Nixon library interview, Colson recalled that Nixon once described him as the son he never had, and added, “I felt the same emotional bond with him.� “There were other times I brought out the dark side of Nixon,� he acknowledged. “You did not have to work very hard to bring it out. It was always close to the surface. ...

His first reaction was to fight back, to get even with people.�

But he insisted that Haldeman and others shared the blame. “What (Nixon) needed was people who would give him a more measured reaction.�

Teacher strikes in 3 districts may signal hard times ahead

By James Mayer The Oregonian

Labor disputes have embroiled teachers and their school districts at three east Multnomah County school systems this spring.

Parkrose now appears to have settled, though the details are still to be worked out. Gresham-Barlow faces a strike on Wednesday, and Reynolds may not be far behind.

The crisis in the three districts may be a sign of more hard times to come for the state’s embattled school systems, which are struggling to balance their budgets amid declining taxpayer support without completely alienating their workforce.

Parkrose Superintendent Karen Fischer Gray said she doesn’t think there’s anything unique about the east county districts. “In times of less revenue, bargaining becomes more difficult.�

But union leaders say these three districts have taken particularly hard positions. They say the districts are using the financial crisis as a means to gain more control over teacher time and to limit teacher rights. “What we’re seeing is overly aggressive proposals,� said Susan Crumpton, an Oregon Education Association consultant working with the unions in all three districts.

The districts, meanwhile, argue that the financial hole they find themselves in is real, and that the

teachers must sacrifice for the long-term good of the district.

Increasing salaries — and maintaining planning time — would mean layoffs and larger classes, they say.

That argument largely fails to impress teachers. Unions historically have preferred layoffs to salary freezes or pay cuts, on the theory that lost jobs may come back, but the money never does.

According to the Oregon Education Association, there are 146 K-12 districts with teacher contracts that expired in 2011.

Of these, 25 are still unsettled.

In addition to the three east county districts, the only other district to have declared an impasse and filed final offers — the last stop before a strike — is Jackson County School District 9 in Eagle Point. There are 85 districts whose teacher contracts expire June 30 this year.

The Portland contract, settled a year ago, provides for step increases, which are based on experience and education.

Tigard-Tualatin’s contract, which also settled last year, maintains step increases and a small cost-of-living increase in the second year of the contract.

For many teachers, the emotional trigger for the disputes is the workload changes sought by the districts.

The districts seek to save money by increasing instruction time, or giving administrators authority to reduce preparation time. In GreshamBarlow, the district has sought to remove language calling for consultation with teachers before changing workloads.

Volunteers move a hoop house to cover a raised planter box Saturday while helping eighth-graders Brooke Bennett and Audrey Parks earn their Girl Scout Silver Awards.

Garden Continued from B1 The girls, both from Bend, identified the community center as a worthy recipient of their food early on. After meeting with Gleason, they applied for — and were awarded — a $1,000 grant for materials from Deschutes County; met with city councilors to make sure their project met city code; and recruited volunteers with the skills to help them.

Audrey said it was intimidating reaching out to adults they didn’t know at first, but they found nearly everyone receptive to their plans. “Calling people, that was a really, really big thing,� she said.

Cabinetmaker turned chicken coop specialist Duane Schiedler volun-

teered to help the girls construct the coop and two large raised beds. Saturday, Schiedler spent the morning helping build two hoop houses, plastic tents strung on hoops of PVC pipe that protect plants from cold weather. The hoop houses, Brooke said, should allow them to extend their growing season to nearly eight months.

Bill Hull, the owner of the property where the garden and coop were built, only met Audrey and Brooke a short time ago. A volunteer cook at the community center, Hull was approached by Gleason about donating a piece of the lot where he’s building a home on Northwest 15th Street for the girls’ project. “They just needed a spot and I had a space, that’s all it is,�

Hull said. “I want to encourage the girls. They’ve got a really great project going here.� — Reporter: 541-383-0387, shammers@bendbulletin.com

The World

COOS BAY — Battling waves in a kayak is a delicate balance between safety and thrill — but it’s all worth the effort, if you know what you’re doing.

Sea kayaker John Schlesinger has been hitting the ocean for about 15 years. He got hooked after he first paddled a sit-on-top in Monterey Bay during a family vacation.

“I just thought, ‘This is fun,’ ” he said, adding that he’s always enjoyed solitary sports like cycling. “I didn’t take lessons for probably five to eight years. I got myself in some trouble, lost my boat at sea, then I started taking lessons and I got more excited about it.”

He learned the hard way, and wouldn’t recommend that method.

“The best info I can give is get good instruction,” he said.

“Because I had a lot of bad habits to break.”

The sea is a powerful beast, and one the semiretired Schlesinger enjoys taming as often he can. But he takes caution before heading out, and constantly adjusts to the ocean

Waldo Lake Continued from B1 Officials with the Federal Aviation Administration, the National Transportation Safety Board and the Marine Board said their agencies didn’t track the number of seaplanes using Waldo before the ban. Most of the seaplanes using the lake would have flown in uncontrolled airspace, taking off from and returning to places where their pilots don’t have to file flight plans, Swecker said.

The Marine Board’s ban on gas boat motors is intended to protect the water in Waldo Lake, the second-clearest in the state after Crater Lake.

Concerns include gasoline and oil spills. These are amplified by the amount of aviation fuel carried by a seaplane.

“I would like to see float planes restricted from Waldo

while riding waves and ducking in and out of cliffs.

“I’m not fearless on the water, but you can’t be scared either,” he said. “There’s so much power out there.

“It’s risk management that we have to do all the time. I have to think about it all the time.”

A few weeks ago, he checked his cellphone around noon, seeing if he could head out for some fun in the afternoon. He pulled up information on ocean swells, tides and wind — all important information to consider before slipping into your kayak.

“Listen to weather reports,” he said, adding that wind speed and direction is an important factor. “The average person can’t go more than four knots.”

Sea kayakers should wear the right equipment — cold suits, helmets and personal flotation devices are standard, potentially life-saving items.

Also helpful are ear plugs and a whistle — ear plugs protect your inner ear from the cold water, which can interfere with your equilibrium and permanently damage your hearing, and a whistle can signal

to others when bad weather leads to poor visibility.

“If I’m teaching, they’re going to get an earful of safety all the time,” Schlesinger said.

“They’re not going to be in my class if they’re not wearing a PFD.” He also recommends kayaking with others, carrying a radio, a flashing light and plenty of water.

“Because hyperthermia is just as bad as hypothermia,” he said.

He’s heard all the horror stories, and has seen his share of them. He told of a friend who got tipped over onto a rock after a rogue wave sneaked up on his group. Companions were able to save him, but it was another lesson learned.

“Fun is the first part of why people want to go kayaking, but fun is getting to come back,” Schlesinger said.

The enjoyment he gets on the ocean far outweighs the risks. He’s an adrenaline junkie, but he seeks thrills with caution. When waves are just right, he loves riding them, as well as sitting back and witnessing the power.

“I like playing around

Lake as well,” said Brewen, the Marine Board director. “The more restrictions the better.”

Although he was glad the Marine Board upheld the gas motor boat ban, Doug Heiken, conservation and restoration coordinator for Oregon Wild, said he also wants seaplanes banned. The environmental group joined with the Sierra Club in leading an email campaign in support of the ban. “(The bans) are reasonable restrictions to protect such a special place,” he said.

The Aviation Board, however, says seaplane pilots argue they simply use aircraft to access the lake, just as most visitors use cars.

The Columbia Seaplane Pilots Association, which promotes the aircraft in Oregon and Idaho, filed an appeal to the Marine Board’s ban in October 2011 along with groups

calling for a removal of the gas motor boat ban. The appeal is still in the courts, and the group hasn’t determined yet whether to remain involved, said Aron Faegre, its president. A Portland architect and seaplane pilot, Faegre said the group is not waiting to see what the Aviation Board will do next. He said the group is willing to adjust to restrictions.

“We love the lake for all the reasons everyone else does,” he said. “We are prepared to fit in any way we can.”

While it doesn’t have data on how many seaplanes land at Waldo Lake, the NTSB does keep records of seaplane crashes. Of the 400 seaplane crashes recorded nationwide over the last decade, seven were in Oregon — two into water and five into the ground.

rocks and the foamy stuff and backwash,” he said. “And the splashing waves — it’s amazing to be that close to it from the water. You can watch the foamy stuff just explode.”

John Schlesinger has been sea kayaking for about 15 years. Safety is key while kayaking on the ocean.

Benjamin Brayfield The World

Schlesinger said. “But I like the ocean environment more.”

And it’s not about how far he can paddle, like those who kayak across the ocean for days on end, just for the challenge.

“I don’t see the fun in that,” Schlesinger said. “You’re just looking at open ocean.”

He’s drawn to explorations

closer to shore — cliffs, hidden beaches, arches, wildlife — nature that’s difficult for land-lovers to see.

“There are some amazing things,” he said. “(From the road), you don’t see the gray whale and her calf. And they were within 50 feet of us. It was just amazing.”

Urban evolution

• Rediscovering Eugene through its downtown markets

By John Gottberg Anderson • For the Bulletin EUGENE — When I was growing up in Eugene in the 1960s, the city’s downtown wore a very different face than it does today.

There was no Fifth Street Market, no Hult Center. There were no wineries, precious few fine-dining restaurants, and the once-luxurious Eugene Hotel was two decades from being converted to a senior residential tower.

The “E” on the side of Skinner Butte, often repainted in high school colors by teenagers, looked directly south over the Heilig Theatre marquee, which was suspended across Willamette Street near Sixth Avenue.

While the Heilig holds many motion-picture memories for me, it was the McDonald Theatre, a few blocks down Willamette, that was my outpost for Saturday double features.

Unlike the Heilig, which was leveled in 1973 during a frenzy of urban renewal, the McDonald (built in 1925) was saved from the wrecking ball. It is now one of Eugene’s most popular venues for concerts, film festivals and community events.

There wasn’t much time to mourn the Heilig before construction began on the $18.5 million Hult Center for the Performing Arts. In fact, two full downtown Eugene blocks — both sides of Willamette between Sixth and

Seventh avenues — were razed to make room for the Hult and the adjacent 12-story, $15.5 million Hilton hotel and conference center.

Groundbreaking was in 1979. Three years later it opened with a concert by jazz singer Lena Horne. Today the Hult is home to seven professional arts companies in theater, dance and music, and hosts more than 700 performances a year in its 2,455-seat Silva Concert Hall and 498-seat Soreng Theater.

It is the cultural heart of Eugene, its towering glass lobby facing a pedestrian terrace where once the Heilig mar-

But while the commercial heart of the city has shifted away from downtown, mainly to shopping centers at Valley River and Oakway centers, there remains in Eugene a charming urban shopping complex that anchors such historic blocks as remain in this city of 156,000, Oregon’s secondlargest after Portland.

The Fifth Street Public Market, three blocks from the Hult between Pearl and High streets, opened in 1976 as a small marketplace where counterculture crafts people and farmers rented booth space for $2 a day.

Big top Bend? Performer plans the Central Oregon Circus Center

By David Jasper The Bulletin

Circus arts expert Brandon Huston can already spin fire and walk on stilts: Now he’s figuring out how to juggle two enterprises.

Huston owns and operates The Spinsterz (www.thespinsterz.com), through which he sells items such as glowing hula hoops, juggling balls, stilts and something called fire nunchucks.

Proficient himself at using the things he sells, Huston now wants to teach what he knows through the Central Oregon Circus Center.

“I want to give back to Bend. I feel this community has treated me really well since I’ve been here. And I see the possibility here of having a circus center. I have a lot of friends with kids, and they’re like, ‘Our kids need something else to do — they need more things to keep them out of trouble.’ Which I understand. So I’m very excited to, hopefully, offer that to them.”

Huston says how he got started in the circus arts is “always the million-dollar question.”

“It might be from buying

some juggling sticks at a (Grateful) Dead show when I was 13. Maybe (it was) starting juggling when I was 9,” he says over tea at Townshend’s Bend Teahouse. “I was picking up different props throughout the years and finding out this is something I really like to do. I’m good at it. I enjoy teaching it, and it’s turned into my passion over the years.”

The 31-year-old from Jackson, Wyo., came to Bend four years ago after spending stretches in Portland and Guatemala.

TV & M

Come Sundays, DVRs runneth over TV SPOTLIGHT

By Brian Stelter New York Times News Service

Like a lot of television fans, Kelly Foster had a problem last Sunday. Too much TV — and not enough time to watch it or hard drive space to record it all.

So it was a two-DVR day for Foster, 46, an event producer in New York. The digital video recorder in her living room recorded “The Good Wife� on CBS, while she watched the broadcasts of “Nurse Jackie� on Showtime and “Girls� on HBO; meanwhile, the DVR in her bedroom backed up “Oprah’s Next Chapter� on OWN and “Mad Men� on AMC. By Thursday, she still hadn’t caught up with “Mad Men.� And she’s practically dreading “Veep,� an HBO sitcom that premieres today. “Obviously the various networks think this is the best time to capture the viewers’ attention, and Sunday nights are really the only night I watch ‘appointment’ TV,� she said. “But at some point it’s just too much!�

These are the predicaments of “the 43 percent,� the proportion of households in the United States with DVRs: minor and silly-sounding, yes, but frustrating for viewers who feel they have to assemble their own menu of time-shifted TV. Right now Sundays are the hardest to piece together. The pileup of must-see shows on Sunday seems to have hit a breaking point this spring, with the return of “Mad Men,� the return of “Game of Thrones� to HBO, and the start of “Girls� and “Veep.� On the same evening, there are the new dramas “GCB� on ABC and “The Client List� on Lifetime, among others.

“That whirring sound you’re hearing in the background is your DVR crashing,� the media trade magazine Adweek declared in a recent article.

Sure enough, complaints about too much of a good thing popped up on the Web last weekend, as viewers contemplated which shows to save and which to sacrifice. Even the best DVRs typically allow only two shows to be recorded at the same time.

And dramas like “Mad Men� regularly run a few minutes past the top of the hour, creating havoc with DVR programming. Some viewers wind up watching their third- or fourthstring show via cable’s videoon-demand feature or Hulu, the online streaming website.

(Those services can be frustrating, however, because episodes sometimes don’t appear for hours or days after their original telecasts.)

Cable and broadcast programmers take the end of the weekend so seriously because the percentage of households watching television is higher on Sunday night than any other night of the week. So the potential audience for new and returning shows is bigger than on other nights.

HBO helped to form the Sunday night strategy with shows like “The Sopranos� over a decade ago. (That network already had a Saturday night film franchise, so it wanted to seize the second half of the weekend by adding an original show.)

Now even low-rated cable channels like OWN, run by Oprah Winfrey, try to stake out Sunday night turf. Winfrey’s show “Oprah’s Next Chapter� has gained traction on Sundays at 9, though the audience size varies from week to week.

EDITOR’S NOTES:

River River is a 1-1/2 year old female Australian Cattle dog mix that was surrendered for adoption because her owner was moving and unfortunately could not take her along. River will need a patient person who will help build her confidence and continue her socialization. She loves everyone and would love to find that forever home to be spoiled in. Come down to the shelter today and adopt River!

SUNDAY, APRIL 22, 2012 • THE BULLETIN

A & A

Woman seeking decent guy should heed friend Dear Abby: “Melody� has been my best friend since we were in the fourth grade. (We’re now in our 30s.) Over the past few years, Melody’s life has changed. She separated from her husband, lives alone and shares custody of their three children.

She started dating almost immediately after her separation, going out with almost anyone who showed her a little attention. She’s now involved with a man who told her he’s bisexual and has never taken her out on a date. (Still, he never hesitates to call and ask her to clean his bathroom or cook him a meal.) She’s always crying on my shoulder because she ends up with losers, yet the picture she has on her profile on all the dating sites shows her in a skimpy bikini.

One evening Melody asked me why she can’t attract a “decent man.� I told her she needs to love herself before she can be loved. I also said she should consider changing her profile picture. She became angry and hasn’t spoken to me since.

As a friend I felt it was my responsibility to tell her the truth.

I want to help get her life back on track in a positive way. Was I wrong to be honest with her? — Had Her Best Interests at Heart

Dear Had: Your straight answer clearly wasn’t what your friend wanted to hear, but you did the right thing by being honest with her. In light of the length of your friendship, call and offer her an apology “if I hurt your feelings.� Let’s hope that once she cools off, she’ll appreciate that you said something important. Because of the way she’s advertising herself on her profile, it’s little wonder the men she’s attracting are looking for nothing more than two headlights and a tan. Yipes!

Dear Abby: When I was 25 I placed a baby girl for adoption.

I made a decision I thought was best for her and for me. I am 50

DEAR ABBY now and still believe I made the right decision.

Last year she searched for and found me. I answered all her questions and eventually met with her and her parents.

By all accounts she has a wonderful family and had a great childhood. We have stayed in touch through email.

She wanted to meet my family, but I put her off for months.

Eventually I gave in, and she met some of my siblings and their families. She and her “cousins� get along well and stay in touch.

Abby, I feel nothing toward this girl. There is no maternal attachment. I did my job as a good mother and made sure she had the home I could not give her. If I never see her again it wouldn’t bother me.

I have looked online for other women who feel as I do, but all I find are women in constant pain and sorrow over a child they gave up. I can’t be the only woman who feels this way.

I just need to know I’m not a cold-hearted freak. — Fine with My Decision

Dear Fine: You are not a coldhearted freak. You’re a woman who never bonded with her baby. Please stop beating yourself up for not feeling something for a person who is a virtual stranger. When I hear from other women who read this letter and who feel as you do — please notice I didn’t say “if� I hear from them — I will share their thoughts with you. You have not been able to find a group online because they are not looking for support from others. — Write Dear Abby at www.DearAbby.com or P.O. Box 69440, Los Angeles, CA 90069.

Horoscope: Happy birthday for Sunday, April 22, 2012

By Jacqueline Bigar This year you could meet someone you believe to be your soul mate.

You certainly will enjoy this person.

Make no decisions at first, even if you are single. If you are attached, be careful not to become too meoriented. After all, it takes two to have a relationship. Make a point of sharing, listening and being with your significant other. Let him or her steal the stage, too. Unexpected insights often head down your path.

Learn to integrate them into your life. ARIES can be most disruptive to your life.

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 Your instincts will give you insight into what to do to please a touchy family member. The cost of doing this could be an issue.

Nevertheless, you’ll find a way to create much more of what you both want. You radiate excitement.

Tonight: As you like it.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) HHHHH You have magic on your side, as you can pull white rabbits out of a black hat. Just make sure you want that which you create.

Many opportunities surround the moment. If you are not prepared to choose, don’t. Tonight: Beam in what you want.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) HHH Others wonder and perhaps worry about you. They question what you are up to. You could feel burdened by a decision and need more time. Your instincts will guide you in the proper direction. Tonight: Go with a surprise.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) HHHHH If you are with friends and loved ones, you could have a nearly perfect day. Make plans.

Invite this close group over for a barbecue or fun get-together. Not only will you like what happens, you will love the process as well.

Tonight: Surprises follow you.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) HHHH A partner or close family member manages to build your ego even more. This person’s compliments put you on top of the world. Be spontaneous when making plans. You hear surprising news, and you will need to determine whether it is gossip or valid. Tonight: Enjoying all the attention and people.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) HHHHH You feel as if a muse

is riding on your shoulder. Your creativity surges, and with it comes your willingness to take risks.

You suddenly see many paths to the same end. You wonder why a partner or loved one has not pushed you toward a different path. Tonight: Let your imagination come into play.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) HHHH Deal with a situation involving a partner or loved one.

If you do not have a necessary discussion with this person, there will be more of an issue. You could be stunned by what you hear.

Recognize where this newness is coming from. Tonight: Dinner for two.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) HHHH You often allow others to make the first move. You will do this today and be pleased by their choices. Let the moment continue and don’t interfere. Let go of a need to have control. You’ll get a second and third wind. Tonight: See what is offered first.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) HHHH Whatever you choose to do you do with vigor and spirit. Others like your energy and want you to pitch in. Express your good nature, but also know when to say “no.�

Laughter surrounds a child or new friend. Tonight: Give some thought to tomorrow.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) HHHHH You have a lot vested in communicating better, especially with one particular person. You are direct and know what you want.

Someone’s vagueness could be irritating. You are coming from a grounded point of view. Tonight: The unexpected could run riot.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) HHHH Be aware of others’ expectations, yet know that you don’t have to fulfill them.

A discussion in an important relationship might be in order. You’ll come to the core issue between you. If you cannot resolve your differences, accept them. Tonight: Hang out at home.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) HHHHH You might have had a dream last night that could be impacting your day. If you can remember what happened, write it down. Your actions might be more tied to your subconscious than you realize. Just be open to an insight, perhaps from someone else. Tonight: Return calls; catch up on news.

THE BULLETIN • SUNDAY, APRIL 22, 2012

An open courtyard at the heart of the Fifth Street Public Market surrounds a central fountain that is a popular seating area on sunny days. The marketplace has 20 retail stores and seven restaurants and cafes, along with another seven business offices.

Eugene Continued from C1 It occupied a building where a chicken-processing plant had previously stood.

“The plant was built back in the prewar era,” longtime market owner Brian Obie told me. “This was also in the days before modern refrigeration.

Poultry would be unloaded from delivery docks on Fifth Avenue, then stored in cages on the roof while they awaited their fate.”

Under the entrepreneurial direction of Obie, a longtime area businessman and former Eugene mayor, the fledgling market grew. The Europeanflavored market expanded into an adjacent feed-and-seed store. Eventually it grew to occupy half of a city block facing Fifth Avenue, with additional parking on the rear side of the block. Increasingly upscale retailers came and went, notably Eugene born-and-bred Nike.

And in homage to the condemned birds, the market adopted as its logo a rooster whose likeness may still be discerned from the top of the complex’s landmark tower to the center of a small fountain in its courtyard.

The most significant addition to the market may have been the Marché Restaurant, established by Stephanie Pearl Kimmel in 1997. A Paris-educated chef, Kimmel had first earned national recognition at the Excelsior Cafe, where she pioneered farm-to-table cuisine just off the University of Oregon campus beginning in 1972. She sold the Excelsior, which has just celebrated its 40th anniversary, in 1993.

But after an extended period traveling, working as the culinary director of the King Estate winery, and producing a popular food series for the PBS television network, she found herself ready for a return to the restaurant business.

Dining at Marché The Marché (French for “market”) Cafe opened in December 1997, and the fullservice Marché Restaurant followed in September 1998. It has become widely regarded as one of the finest restaurants in the Pacific Northwest, earning Kimmel a James Beard nomination as the region’s best chef.

She followed up the restaurant’s success by opening Marché Provisions, also in the Fifth Street Public Market, in late 2006. The European-style emporium boasts an artisan bakery, a specialty wine and food shop, cheese and charcuterie counters, house-made ice cream and pizza stands, and enough culinary gift items to establish itself as the “go-to” marketplace for upper Willa-

Room 324 at the Inn at the 5th is called the “umbrella room” for its singular decor, a repeating motif of red umbrellas. The hotel’s 70 rooms come in 21 configurations, many of them with individual designs.

Stephanie Pearl Kimmel, the Paris-educated founder and executive chef of Marché Restaurant, has been nominated for a James Beard Award as the best chef in the Pacific Northwest. “We use traditional techniques,” said Kimmel, “but we tweak tradition to create something delicious.”

mette Valley food lovers.

A world food court occupies a second-floor space in the Fifth Street Market, directly above Marché Provisions.

Other retail outlets in the complex include upscale boutiques and gift shops, international imports and specialty stores.

There’s also an elegant day spa, the Gervais Salon, and a spacious tasting room for LaVelle Vineyards.

But my attention was turned to Marché, where an outstanding dinner highlighted by a nested butter-lettuce salad with a soft-boiled egg, and a braised lamb shoulder with roasted fennel, convinced me that this restaurant is the No. 1 dining destination in Lane County. It was so good — with prices far from outrageous, at $22 to $28 for entrees — that my traveling companion and I later returned for breakfast.

“Our driving philosophy is to give a sense of ‘terroir,’ of the unique flavor produced right here in the Eugene area,” Kimmel said. “We use traditional techniques, but we tweak tradition to create something delicious.”

Inn at the 5th The newest addition to the Fifth Street Public Market is

a 70-room boutique hotel that opened its doors on Feb. 1.

Its first guest, fittingly, was Nike founder and University of Oregon benefactor Phil Knight; Nike held the northwest corner of the marketplace for 20 years. But when the athletic-wear manufacturer relocated its retail store to Oakway Center in 2008, it opened the way for redevelopment — and the birth of the $14 million Inn at the 5th.

“It was really 20 years in the making,” Obie said of the hotel. “We had integrated a boutique hotel concept into the Fifth Street Market plans a long time before Nike moved.”

Unlike most luxury hotels, which build a restaurant, spa and other elements into their initial design, the Inn at the 5th was faced with a different quandary. Eugene’s TBG Architects & Planners had to build over and around the preexisting businesses, disturbing their retail commerce as little as possible.

The result is impressive, a five-story hotel that may be the finest in the Willamette Valley outside of the Portland metropolis.

The Inn’s 70 rooms (rates start at $209 nightly) come in 21 different configurations, many of them with individual designs. One room, for instance, is created around a Bach Festival theme, honoring Eugene’s annual summer classical music festival. Another features African art from the Swahili import shop in the adjoining market. Yet a third boasts a repeating motif of red umbrellas, fitting for a community that usually gets more than 50 inches of rain a year.

A container of red-striped guest umbrellas also rests beside the door to the hotel lobby, where guests are greeted by parking valets and bellhops.

New arrivals check in at one of two concierge desks, located near a casual fireside seating area beneath colorful fused-glass fixtures created

by Sisters artist Susie Zeitner.

guest floors are butler closets.

Each room of the hotel has its own discreet cabinet for roomservice deliveries; guests clad only in bathrobes need not open doors to unknown attendants. “We put a lot of thought into the guest experience,” Obie said. “We set out to build a very special boutique hotel.”

On the ground floor, the hotel opens directly into the Gervais Salon, which offers everything from deluxe pedicures to full-body massages. Nearby, across a patio courtyard, the LaVelle Winery treats hotel guests to free tastings daily at 5 p.m. Chamber music and theatrical performances are planned for summer. Marché is a few steps away, opposite the main hotel entrance.

Saturday Market On weekends, the Fifth Street Public Market is not the only downtown Eugene market worth perusing. Many visitors to this college town find the weekly Saturday Market to be at least as compelling.

If Eugene has a reputation as a last refuge for hippiedom — and it does — the Satur-

day Market is a major reason.

Open 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. every Saturday from April through mid-November, rain or shine, this open-air crafts market fills up two civic park blocks with dozens of makeshift booths whose artisans sell everything from A (acid-etched jewelry) to Z (paintings inspired by Zen Buddhism).

You may encounter Jan Bullock, whose baskets are woven from ponderosa-pine needles.

Or Phil Dietz, whose “spirit rocks” are engraved with traditional Native American petroglyphs. Richard Houle designs juggling sticks from recycled rubber. Cathy Coulson-Keegan offers silk prayer flags and wall hangings.

Thurman Scheumack creates handmade brooms and walking sticks with unique carved handles.

Clothing runs the gamut

from tie-dye to batik, patchwork to hemp. There are painters of complicated Celtic motifs and Tibetan mandalas, fortune tellers and balloon twisters, artisans in leather, metal and wood. There are individuals who make scented candles, infused soap and sacred talismans. It seems as if half of the creations carry a theme that may be spiritual, fantastical or just plain quirky.

Musicians also perform on an hourly schedule in the heart of the market. As I passed through, a solo artist sang something nasal about being too drunk.

Eugene Saturday Market Greg Cross / The Bulletin

From previous page Blues and “retro pop” were promised later in the day, along with something called “acoustadelic gypsyhooplamojobop metafablemedicine.” I didn’t stay to get a translation.

‘Weirder than Portland’ Through the throngs that frequent the weekly market are other visitors who freelance their wares. An elderly, dreadlocked man, pulling a plastic wagon, hawked copies of what he calls “the world’s best joke book,” bound between pieces of cardboard; the jokes were not funny. A pair of face-painted “zombies” railed on about the nation’s corporate structure.

More than a dozen food purveyors huddled in a food court, serving helpings of Mexican, Thai, Indian and Afghani cuisine along with vegetarian choices, pizza, smoothies and espresso. But the true “foodies” cross Eighth Avenue to the semi-weekly Farmers Market in that block.

The Farmers Market is open

at 9 a.m. That allows shoppers an hour to collect fresh fruits and colorful vegetables, from chanterelle mushrooms to Thai basil to stalks of spring garlic, before wading into the tie-dyed masses across the street.

But even here, among the salt-of-the-earth merchants, there were eccentrics. One couple wandered through with a noisy Patagonian conure bird squawking from the man’s shoulder. Across Oak Street, on a corner by the county courthouse, Ron Paul supporters gathered around a half-dozen balloons strung to a statue of Wayne Morse. The late senator would have been amused.

“I think Eugene is even weirder than Portland,” said my traveling companion.

I don’t remember it being so strange in the 1960s. But by the end of that decade, if I recall correctly, I myself was listening to the Grateful Dead and growing my hair much too long.

If you go

MAZATLAN, Mexico — Mexico might seem a strange place to lose your heart.

But when you’re young enough, that first encounter with our southern neighbor’s warmth and charm — the smell of roasting corn drifting from the sidewalk vendor’s grill, the red and pink flowers drooping over adobe walls, vegetables piled high on tarps laid over the ground and women in multicolored shawls carrying jars on their heads — changed my 8-year-old world view forever.

Mexico does that to people. Last year more than 15 million Americans crossed the border, searching for the perfect beach or shopping for handmade crafts.

Some were touring Mayan ruins; others simply were going to work. But with the U.S. State Department’s recent travel advisories warning about the drug cartels and the continued violence, even I, an admitted addict, was worried.

Was Mexico safe? I needed to see for myself, so I booked a week in Mazatlan, in the state of Sinaloa on the Pacific Ocean’s golden beaches. Though I timed my trip to coincide with the city’s “Day of the Dead” revelries, the trip was less of a vacation and more of a mission. Were the headlines coming from Mexico telling the whole story? The only way to find out was to talk to people who live there.

Where is it most dangerous to be, and what can travelers do to stay safe?

Can visitors to Mazatlan count on security if they book a hotel in the “Golden Zone” (Zona Rosa), the beachside district with hotels, restaurants and beach facilities developed specifically to accommodate visitors? Would the same rules of caution that you or I follow when we travel to cities around the world be enough to avoid trouble here?

FLIGHTS

Feeling safe, but alert Waiting in the airport lounge I found myself sitting next to Kurt Miller, a jolly 50-something man from Oregon who laughed when he heard my question. “That’s what all my friends want to know,” he said. “But we don’t know anyone who’s had any kind of problems. We love our house and we’ve got great neighbors. Here, take a look,” he added, pulling out his computer to show me photos of his house in the El Cid Marina and snaps of him on his bicycle, posing on Mazatlan’s beachfront walk.

I’m glad I came to see for myself. This port city’s sandy beaches are broad and clean, the water is warm and the surf rolls slowly up on the sand curling into tiny waves gentle enough for kids to play in. Changing into beachwear for a stroll along the Malecon — the sea wall — was near the top of my list. Drifting out to deep water was next.

I spent a day exploring the historic downtown area, a square-mile area adjacent to the shore, where enterprising Americans and Mexicans have invested both money and time, re-

Fly on Alaska Airlines through Mexico City or directly from the West Coast. Mazatlan’s airport is 40 minutes from the historic beach district.

storing the colonial structures still standing after 150 years.

Newly planted trees and flower gardens shade parks and benches. Artists and artisans have opened studios and set up shop in ground floor spaces.

After wandering through the Plaza Machado, sneaking looks into private courtyards, I peaked into the recently restored Teatro de Angela Peralta (you may know it as the Opera House), where Handel’s “Messiah” was playing. In the ballet studio next door, 21 teenage girls and one boy in toe shoes were at the bar, practicing their routines. As the pianist banged out a tune, the maestro herself — stern and imposing — went from one to the next, raising a leg higher there and arching an arm back here. The scene spoke of a tranquil lifestyle.

But it didn’t mean I had forgotten to stay alert.

Whether I’m traveling in Paris, Buenos Aires or New York City, I don’t walk out alone at night or look for fun in seedy joints. I stay in busy, welllit neighborhoods and leave at the first whiff of drugs. And when I investigated the details surrounding some of the recent crimes in Mazatlan, the facts suggested that some victims had been careless.

ies rotting in acid-filled barrels.

Market economics at work, pure and simple.

Where to go If you go, remember to visit the Fish Market, where Mazatlan’s signature shrimps — caught in the early morning and sold before noon — are heaped in ice-filled buckets next to Pacific lobsters and crabs. During the season, from September through January, shrimp dishes top the restaurant menus.

Wandering through the Zocalo (the old-town square) gardens, we walked around the bandstand, snapped photos and had our shoes shined by a man with a step-stool, polish and brushes. After touring the newly painted Cathedral — decorated as only Mexicans can — we crossed the street to the open-air Central Market, still housed in the original 19th century iron arcade. You can buy everything there, from fabrics, straw hats and kitchen ware to vegetables, fruits, slabs of beef, and whole chickens

A sense of outrage “It’s safe here in the Zona Rosa,” said Ruben Salazar, a waiter at the El Cid Marina Hotel, one of a dozen people I interviewed. “But Sinaloa is famous for its mountains, where anybody can hide. I wouldn’t go there. I live 20 minutes away and I drive to work at 5 o’clock in the morning. The road is empty, but I’ve never had trouble.”

Miller, part of a large American community here, was also reassuring. But he couldn’t change my sense of outrage.

It’s drug users in the United States who’ve created Mexico’s crime wave. It’s the drug users on our side of the border that continue to fuel the drug cartel murders.

“I don’t know why people here don’t get it,” said Ashley, the hardworking 24-year old who cut my hair the day before I left. She smiled, remembering a long-ago vacation in Ensenada. “It’s all our fault. We’re just stupid,” she told me, stabbing at another piece of hair.

She was right, of course. If the demand for drugs stopped tomorrow, the cartels would vanish. Not in a day, but soon.

hanging by the feet.

When I had the chance, I asked people if they felt safe.

“I have to live,” said Salazar, shrugging his shoulders. “I have an 8-year-old son. He plays baseball and I take him two nights a week and to tournaments. We don’t worry.”

Of the many people I met, it was the Alvaros, a retired Mexican couple from Guadalajara — staying in their own condominium near my room in the El Cid Marina Hotel — who said it best. “Yes, safety is a concern for some,” said Jose Alvaro.

“But not when you visit a place like this where people are on vacation. But the criminals are bad for business and I hope the government kills them all. You shouldn’t worry. Gangsters want to avoid the police.”

It was minutes before the wedding, and the planner left nothing to chance. The reception hall, a plank-floored farmhouse in the Santa Barbara, Calif., wine country, had been decorated in peonies.

The dinner menu, rendered in calligraphy, promised wild mushroom tortellini and halibut with verjus. In a field outside, a photographer and videographer stood at the ready, near a ceremonial canopy draped in velvet and the aisle strewn with guinea feathers.

The only thing missing were guests. But that’s exactly what Carey and Brian Provost had planned. “I wanted the dress, the vows, the flowers and the pictures,� said Carey Provost, 36, who took the unconventional step of turning the couple’s elopement into a blowout. “But when you have guests, we felt like it ends up being more for them, not for the bride and groom. We wanted it to be for us.�

An extravagant elopement might strike some as a contradiction. Isn’t the whole point of eloping to steer clear of the Wedding Industrial Complex, to keep things simple and cheap?

But elopements are no longer confined to black-sheep members of the family who skulk off to a Las Vegas chapel because Mom and Dad do not approve. With the cost of a 200-guest wedding spiraling upward, and many people getting married (and remarried) at ages when they no longer feel a need to be the stars of their Big Day, couples are now considering a table for two as a civilized alternative to 12 months of planning hell.

More for me Still, they want the day to be special. This is particularly true in an era when wedding blogs and Facebook photos have made nuptials a public spectacle. Why shell out for another rubber chicken dinner for Aunt Beatrice from Tuscaloosa, Ala., when what really matters are the luscious photos capturing the style and pageantry, which can be “liked� and “pinned� by users of social media sites?

It is a way to have your wedding cake and eat it, too. “It was almost like a glorified photo shoot for the two of us,� said Provost, who lives with her husband in San Antonio. “We got to spend the whole day together, just the two of us, which almost made it more meaningful.

There wasn’t a distant cousin or mother or girlfriend there adding stress.�

The impulse to avoid stress is often the starting point. A year ago, Celia Tombalakian, a global marketing director for a medical devices compa-

“I wanted the dress, the vows, the flowers and the pictures,� says Carey Provost, 36, of her blowout elopement with Brian Provost. “But when you have guests, we felt like it ends up being more for them, not for the bride and groom. We wanted it to be for us.�

ny in New York, found herself mired in planning for a traditional ceremony at the University Club with her fiance, David Shafer, a 37-year-old plastic surgeon. “The details kept snowballing,� Tombalakian, 40, said. “Finally we thought: Why are we buying into this? We have been sucked into the machine.

Let’s just do our own thing.�

They decided to run off to Las Vegas — in high style. “I didn’t want it to be a drive-through, Britney Spears kind of thing,� Tombalakian said. “How do you get the best of both worlds?�

The answer: Arrange an elopement with all the production values of a fairy-tale wedding. The couple hired a wedding planner, Andrea Eppolito, who booked them a corner suite of the Cosmopolitan hotel, with a wraparound balcony overlooking the Bellagio Fountains. She found the location, a private garden located on a nearby lake, hired Your Beauty Call — a company that provides hairstyling and makeup for celebrities like Kim Kardashian and Paris Hilton — to style Tombalakian. And she reserved them a window table at the Eiffel Tower Restaurant, which served a miniature three-layer cake for two. “We felt like guests at our own wedding,� Tombalakian said. “We were driving around that morning, saying, ‘Isn’t it amazing how nothing can go wrong?’ �

While an extravaganza like that is never going to be cheap, a ceremony for two invariably saves money over a ceremony for 200 (consider the catering costs alone). And in this economy, savings mat-

ter, said Jen Campbell, who runs Green Wedding Shoes, a wedding blog that has featured several ambitious elopements. “For a couple fresh out of school, paying for a large wedding probably isn’t possible without considerable support from their parents,� she said.

Still, fancy elopements, or “private ceremonies,� as wedding professionals sometimes call them, can cost $10,000 to $100,000. (By contrast, the average wedding costs $26,000, according to a recent study by Brides magazine.)

Less about money But for older couples, particularly busy professionals, money is not always the only consideration. For them, priorities have often shifted. “Clients getting married in their 20s say, ‘I want to be in front of 200, I want to be a princess bride,’ � said Lisa Vorce, a wedding planner in Los Angeles.

Brides over 30 are past the stage in life where they demand that their wedding day be the definitive day of their life — part family reunion, part college reunion, with a dash of royal wedding mixed in, she added. “They just want a special

thing with their significant other,� Vorce said. “It’s kind of like this glorified honeymoon.�

To fill that market, hotels and resorts in wedding-friendly locales like the Napa Valley or the Caribbean offer elopement packages coordinated by a fulltime wedding consultant.

And the more spectacular the setting, the better. Whereas eloping couples in the past may have limited themselves to recording the event for a personal scrapbook by taking a few snapshots with a disposable camera, many now hire top photographers, knowing in advance that the photos will at the very least find a public audience on Facebook, if not on wedding blogs.

To be considered for such blogs, however, design matters.

That means styling an elopement as ambitiously as any other wedding.

Shalini Saycocie, an art producer for a New York advertising agency, was planning to elope with her fiance, Chad Carbone, for a more intimate experience. She was inspired to create a mountaintop fairy tale of their own after seeing sumptuous photos of the Provost ceremony on the blog Style Me Pretty. She enlisted a planner in Eagle, Colo., Frosted Pink Weddings, to arrange a ceremony at Devil’s Thumb Ranch in the Rockies last December.

After a private ceremony, which was held next to a fireplace covered in hyacinths, the couple retreated to an outdoor ice rink just as the sun was setting. There, James Christianson, a prominent wedding photographer, snapped away as Carbone, wearing a 1920sstyle ball gown and a vintage beaver wrap, circled the ice with her new husband, against a backdrop of snow-dusted mountain peaks. Afterward, they set off sparklers and posed some more for the camera. The photos ran on Ruffled, another popular wedding blog, a few months later. “The visual aspects were especially important for me, since our family wasn’t there with us,� Carbone explained. “I wanted someone else to be the eyes for our friends and family.�

Circus Continued from C1 “I was in Guatemala … and it was time to move someplace else in my life,” he explains. “I thought about all the places I wanted to move, and Bend felt good, it felt right to come down here. And it’s been great since I’ve been here. Love it. I teach snowboarding up on the mountain in the winter.”

For the past five years, he’s been selling his Spinsterz wares at music festivals and events like the Oregon Country Fair.

“I’ve lived in Bend for four years, and I’ve actually never spent a summer here, because I’m usually on the road from May till October or so,” Huston says. “It’s fun and exciting, and incredibly tiring. It takes a lot of work.”

The Central Oregon Circus Center will provide kids and adults instruction in hooping, juggling, stilt walking, bellydancing, fire spinning (somewhat like baton twirling, if the baton was on fire), fire dancing, static trapeze (a fixed trapeze on which acrobats perform while dangling, but not swinging), slacklining (a bouncier alternative to the tightrope), aerial silks (acrobatics performed while hanging from special fabrics) and a whole lot more.

vance in 2009 to 21 or 22 weeks in 2011. (Average round-trip fares rose to about $1,500 last year from $1,100 in 2009; this year’s outlook is no better.)

To boost your savings, take the least expensive route to Europe you can find. Then concentrate on getting to your ultimate stop cheaply.

“I look into the cheapest fare into a hub like Berlin,” said George Hobica, founder of Airfarewatchdog.com, which scours the Web for bargains.

“Then I figure it out from there.”

He said this may involve taking the train or flying a budget carrier like easyJet or Ryanair to the final destination. Spanish airports like Madrid tend to be cheaper than London or Paris, he said. Dublin and Shannon also tend to be cheaper jumping-off points.

Caribbean in winter Last year’s sweet spot: 11 or 12 weeksIn 2009 and 2010, the cheapest airfares went to procrastinators who purchased tickets just two weeks in advance at a saving of about 8 percent. But last year, the pattern took a sudden shift, with the cheapest tickets bought much further ahead.

“Certainly you’ll want to start shopping plenty early to get a gauge on pricing,” said Seaney of FareCompare, who recommended hunting for airfare as early as three months in advance, especially for hot spots like Costa Rica and outof-the-way islands, which lack the airline competition that tends to keep prices in check.

Business or first-class to Asia Last year’s sweet spot: 23 to 24 weeks While the majority of premium travel is purchased by business travelers booking within six weeks of departure, leisure travelers with the flexibility to buy well in advance have been able to find bargains. Travelers paid about $3,113, or about 20 percent less than average, when buying premium tickets

Outside magazine and other publications, Huston expects the business will also offer partner acrobatics and yoga, as well as “AcroYoga,” which combines acrobatics and yoga.

“My business has been going well,” Huston says. “I’m in a place where I feel like I can take on another project and very much want to make this about community … besides learning and taking classes.

It’s my intention to have a once-a-month circus showcase there that will host local talent as well as out-of-town performers that I can bring in.”

Huston has already secured a warehouse space off of Reed Market Road on Bend’s east side, and will teach circus camps through the Bend Park & Recreation District this summer.

To get Central Oregon Circus Center off the ground, he’s launched an $8,000 fundraising effort through Kickstarter, a crowd-funding website. The deadline for pledges is May 9, and Huston hopes to have the center open by mid-June.

“That’s very optimistic,” he admits.

As of last week, it had 30 backers and had raised $2,854. (You can see the page and a video about the center at http://tinyurl.com/7h68j2v (or Google “Central Oregon Circus Center”).

to Asia 23 or 24 weeks ahead last year.

A good time to take advantage of low business-class rates is during peak vacation times like summer or the winter holidays. While coach class quickly fills up with leisure travelers, the cushy seats at the front of the plane can be empty. Rather than give those seats away as upgrades, airlines often try to fill them with sales, according to Joe Brancatelli, publisher of the travel website JoeSentMe. com, which alerts members to such sales.

When is the best time to book that flight? It’s one of the most fraught decisions travelers face, as ticket prices often fluctuate right up to departure time.

Recent fare analysis by the Airlines Reporting Corp. seems to challenge the conventional wisdom that the earlier you book, the less expensive your fare will be. In January, the corporation, which processes ticket transactions for airlines and travel agencies, reported that over the past four years passengers paid the lowest price for domestic flights when buying just about six weeks in advance.

To determine if that six-week sweet spot would hold true for international routes, I asked the company to analyze fares for several trips, like a summer vacation to Europe and a winter escape in the Caribbean.

Not only did the six-week period fail to stand up, but the findings indicate that the window for booking the cheapest ticket for these trips has increased over the past three years; in some cases it’s up to 24 weeks.

“Consumers have been getting the best prices a bit further out year over year,” said Chuck Thackston, managing director of data and analytics at the Airlines Reporting Corp.

Sure, it’s possible that if travelers pull back on spending, airlines will be forced to cut prices, allowing travelers to nab a cheap summer flight to, say, Barcelona, as little as three weeks out.

“If they don’t see bookings materialize the way they’d like, they will put the route on sale,” said Henry Harteveldt, a travel industry analyst.

But Harteveldt and other travel watchers agree that booking well in advance is a safe bet. So far this year, airlines have raised rates three times, said Rick Seaney, chief executive of Farecompare.com, which tracks ticket prices.

“I think pricing is going to be crazy,” particularly this summer, he said.

So if you place stock in historical trends, the message is clear: Act now.

For guidance, here are the booking windows during which passengers paid the lowest price for flights to popular vacation destinations last year, based on data from the Airlines Reporting Corp.

General tips Beyond historical trends, there are also some useful online tools that can help you evaluate fares. For example, Bing.com offers a Price Predictor that uses algorithms to determine how likely a fare is to rise or fall during the next seven days. It applies to flights from more than 250 cities in the United States and to top domestic destinations and major hubs in Europe.

If you decide to wait in the hopes of a price drop, sign up for fare alerts offered by practically every travel site, from American Airlines to Travelzoo. Yapta.com, another price-tracking service, alerts travelers when the price of their plane tickets drop after purchase, allowing travelers to request an airline voucher for the price difference.

For the cheapest dates to fly, go to Itasoftware.com, which allows you to scan an entire month’s worth of fares. To buy, you must go to the airline’s website or online agencies like Travelocity.

Finally, buying two oneway fares on separate airlines can be cheaper than the best round-trip price. Kayak.com calls such tickets “hacker fares.” A recent search on the site for a flight from Boston to San Juan, Puerto Rico, turned up a fare of $313 on Delta to San Juan, returning on US Airways, compared with $349 round trip on US Airways alone.

LOS ANGELES TIMES SUNDAY CROSSWORD

works means the project will only be funded if at least $8,000 is pledged by the May 9 deadline. Anything less, and Huston and the center get nothing.

“It’s an expensive project to start,” Huston says. “Insurance is expensive. Not as expensive as a gymnastics studio, but it’s definitely up there.

“I will be able to fund a good part of it myself,” he adds, “but it will start incredibly slowly that way. Which is fine; building up from the ground up is a great way to do it. But if I get this (Kickstarter) funding … to buy the mats, and the aerial equipment and the mirrors and everything, that’ll help make it go quicker.”

He’s already sold his touring van, has a yurt for sale and is otherwise “doing whatever I can,” Huston says. “I’m very excited to spend the summer here, and do all the things that Bend has to offer.”

“Circus arts are a great thing for both body and mind,” Huston later said in an email. “They teach you how to be disciplined, help you stay fit, help you have greater selfesteem and … encourage a noncompetitive and collaborative approach to life. … Circus arts are super fun and they are not a solo sport, they bring everyone into the joy through showcases, performance and training. “ — Reporter: 541-383-0349, djasper@bendbulletin.com

More than one way to build a pillow fort • But some pros offer a few pointers

By Matt Richtel New York Times News Service

Janet Foster, a Columbia University architectural historian, is well-versed in the nuances of the Dutch-American farmhouse, the slope of a Queen Anne, the hue of a Downingesque cottage.

She’s also done a little design work herself.

Consider Foster’s DrapeDrawstring Roof, circa 1992. Its signature architectural feature involved tying the drawstring from her drapes to the corner of a blanket. Then she laid the blanket over the edges of walls made of pillows, creating the roof of a pillow fort designed for her two young sons.

“When you pull the cord, the blanket door rises,” Foster explained. “When it was up, we played ‘day.’ When it was down, we played ‘night.’ ” And then her voice started to trail off.

“I’m tearing up,” she said.

“You never know when you’re going to build your last fort.”

Given that my two children are mere toddlers, I’m not worried yet about the last-fort problem. I’m still working on figuring out how to build a half-decent one, what with my severe deficit in engineering skills. I’m expert in the field of collapse.

So I reached out to Foster and other architectural experts for help with constructing the perfect pillow-and-blanket structure.

But my search for practical counsel unearthed something else, too. I discovered some tears, an enthusiasm I didn’t quite anticipate and, in the end, something unexpected. I won’t look at a pillow fort in quite the same way again.

The Seattle architect and blogger Andrew van Leeuwen stumbled upon the emotional resonance of forts when he wrote a lighthearted posting about them several years ago.

Traffic soared.

“It overwhelmed the server, and we had to shut the post down,” he said, laughing.

Memories of my earliest forts are hard to conjure up. I do remember the feelings, though: Huddled in a cave made of cushions and sheets with my younger sister, we conspired to figure out how to create windows and doors in our private space. We often brought in a guest — our cat, Frisky — but the scratch marks on our forearms attested to her interest in being excluded.

I’ve also talked to lots of friends and acquaintances about forts, and heard the same warm feelings about an almost universal childhood activity, one often shared with parents.

Cost: Zero. Rules: Few. Comfort of a cave: High. Cleanup: Well, there’s that.

But the chief reason for the primal drive to build forts? Simple, the architects said. We all like space that fits us.

For super-fast fort construction, architect Bob Borson — playing cards with his daughter Kate, 7 — recommends an umbrella.

“Little kids don’t have permanent control over their spaces,” said Foster, the associate director for urban planning and historic preservation at Columbia.

“They can make a little space.

It’s about having their space, taking control of it. Fundamentally, that’s what architecture is all about.”

Fond memories My own fond memories prompted me to propose building a fort with my son Milo about a year ago, when he was approaching 3. He wanted a rocket ship. I pulled the cushion off our love seat and propped it over the top of a chair, creating about a 2-foot cave between the cushion and the seat.

We huddled inside, my legs dangling out. I pretended to hit a few buttons on the rocket ship’s computerized control panel.

Beep, beep, beep, I said.

“Beep, beep, beep,” he repeated. “We’re here. Let’s go!” And off he ran into the other room to the distant planet we had landed upon, me in tow.

The makeshift structure wasn’t quite holding his interest.

Was he too young for this game?

Or were my skills lacking?

“The first thing you do is test the building materials,” in-

structed Michael Lepech, 32.

He’s an assistant professor of civil and environmental engineering at Stanford University, an expert in bendable concrete, a winner of sand-castle-making contests and someone who does not build his pillow forts just any which way.

He makes them with his nephews, William, 8, and An-

drew, 5, first going around the house gathering materials, separating heavy from light. That way, he said, they can learn about and follow the most basic design principle: heavy stuff on the bottom, the lightest on the top.

“We also get to talk about tension and compression,” he said, although he avoids technical terms. “We talk about pushing and pulling.”

His big innovation is using blankets to wrap two large cushions so that they create a large wall panel that can stand on its edge. In fact, he creates several such panels. Then he uses another blanket or sheet to attach adjoining panels, in effect connecting the walls of the fort.

Lepech impressed his nephews with a tent that reached 8 feet high, tall enough for them to stand a toy basketball hoop inside. He added that he focuses on construction, not architecture, since he prefers to let the boys come up with ideas.

“I never initiate,” he said.

“The last thing I want to do is push my stuff at them.”

It was at this point in the reporting that the misgivings kicked in. Not about my obvious technical deficiencies.

About my motivations. Who is this fort-building exercise for anyway? Our children? Or us?

Structural tips I got more structural counsel and some armchair psychology from Bob Borson, 44, an architect in Dallas who frequently builds forts with his 7-year-old daughter, Kate.

His tips: Use sheets for the roof, since they’re lighter than blankets. Couches are a great anchor. Pinch the edge of a sheet between the back of the couch and the wall, add pillow walls in front of the couch, and then you can instantly create a roof by pulling the sheet over them.

As a bonus, he said, his daughter, sitting on the ground in front of the couch, puts her

stuffed animals on its seat. Who doesn’t want more shelf space?

And umbrellas are great, Borson said, for super-fast fort construction. Just throw a sheet or blanket over the top of a big golf umbrella — or two, if you have them — and you’re all set.

Borson loves huddling in the fort with his daughter.

“You tell secrets in forts,” he said. “They’re private. You’re sharing something.”

Of course, she loves having her own pint-size space, too.

My nephew Zachary, 7, is a hard-core fort builder and has specific design ideas.

There’s been a fort in his room for the past two months or, as he says, “like every second of my life.”

“The easiest way to do it is with a desk,” he said in a tone that suggested he was wondering whether his uncle had been born in a cave. “You know the hole where your chair goes?

You make a hallway in front of the hole and you climb inside and, voila, you have a party.”

By party, he means, he crawls into it and reads by himself. And he has very strong ideas about why he does that.

“Because Mel comes into my room and takes my books and whacks me on the knee with them.”

Mel is Melina, his toddler sister, who he said constantly interrupts him. Sometimes, he said, he’ll invite her into the fort, “but not when she’s in that mood.”

Not the parents, though.

I heard that elsewhere.

No parents inside, said Benjamin Lopez-Ikeda. He’s now 17, and forts are largely behind him. But until a few years ago, he and his cousins regularly built forts. They hid their Nerf guns inside. They ate chocolate in secret.

They also followed their own architectural muse, rather than asking for advice from his aunt, Margaret Ikeda, who along with her husband runs a design and architecture firm in Berkeley, Calif.

“We just did it our way, and our way was the right way, and it always turned out right,” Benjamin said, adding of the adults: “I guess we didn’t need them.”

Storm beat 6A powers at Bend Invite

PREP TRACK & FIELD

MLB Pitcher perfect for White Sox SEATTLE — For only a few seconds Saturday, Philip Humber’s perfect game bid was out of his hands.

“Go get it,” Humber said as catcher A.J. Pierzynski chased down an errant slider that Seattle pinch-hitter Brendan Ryan was ruled to have swung at. “Throw him out.”

As soon as Pierzynski retreated and completed his throw to first base to complete the 27th consecutive out, the latest chapter in Humber’s amazing ascent was completed.

Just 15 months after Humber had to earn his way onto the Chicago White Sox’s 2011 opening-day roster, Humber threw the 21st perfect game in major league history with an efficient 4-0 victory over the Mariners.

Despite protests by Ryan over home plate umpire Brian Runge’s call, Chicago players poured onto the field to mob Humber.

“I don’t know what Philip Humber is doing in this list,” Humber said of the list of pitchers who have thrown perfect games, including former White Sox teammate Mark Buehrle. “I have no idea what my name is doing there. But I’m thankful it’s there.”

Humber didn’t throw three balls to any batter until he ran up a 3-0 count to Michael Saunders to start the ninth, then came back to strike him out on a 3-2 slider.

“My wife (Kristan) is nine months pregnant, and I was making sure she didn’t give birth when I was pitching,” said Humber. “Lot of friends, people need to share this moment with because a lot of them helped me along the way.”

Bulletin staff report Summit High cemented its status as a top contender for the girls Class 5A state tennis title this season, winning the Bend Invitational on Saturday with consecutive wins over Class 6A heavyweights Central Catholic and Jesuit, both of Portland.

“I think we definitely left our mark on the 5A and 6A ranks,” said the Storm’s first-year coach, Ryan Cruz.

“This is a very big confidence booster for our girls.”

Summit, which finished the two-day tournament 4-0, defeated Central Catholic 5-3 in the semifinals before topping Jesuit 6-2 in the championship final at Bend’s Juniper Park. The Storm won three of four singles matches and three of four doubles matches to knock off Jesuit, a program that has claimed 12 state titles over the last two decades.

“I don’t know the last time Jesuit lost a team match,” said Cruz, who took over a team that tied for second at state last season. “They’ve been pretty dominant the last 20 years. It was nice to see them handed a secondplace trophy.”

Haley Younger and Lindsey Brodeck won their No. 1 and No. 2 singles matches

PREP GIRLS TENNIS against Jesuit, and Summit cruised from there. Hannah Shephard and Morgan DeMeyer paced the Storm in doubles play with a 6-2, 6-3 victory in the No. 1 doubles match.

“That’s the best I’ve ever seen Hannah play doubles,” Cruz said. “And Morgan was solid and steady all day.”

Redmond ended the tournament 3-1 after defeating Bend (6-2) and Crescent Valley (5-3) on Saturday to win the consolation bracket.

“We were tested against Crescent Valley,” Panthers coach Nathan Saito said. “It was a great way to end the weekend.”

Crook County rebounded from a 0-2 record Friday to split its two matches Saturday. The Cowgirls defeated Lebanon 6-2 in the consolation bracket before falling to Tualatin 6-2 to conclude their tournament.

Bend High and Mountain View both dropped two matches Saturday to end the invitational 1-3. The host Lava Bears lost to Ashland 4-4 in sets after their defeat to Redmond, while Mountain View fell short against Sherwood and Corvallis.

Bulletin staff report LA PINE — La Pine track and field coach Gary Slater was refreshingly honest in assessing his boys team’s performance Saturday at their own invitational meet.

“We kind of crushed ’em,” Slater said. “This meet is usually good to us.”

The Hawks scored 206.33 points Saturday at the 11-team La Pine Invitational, easily besting Summit’s junior varsity (142 points) and Lost River (69.5 points) in the boys team standings. Accounting for other Central Oregon boys teams, Redmond’s JV placed fourth (58.33 points), Culver finished seventh (34), and Gilchrist took eighth (30).

Summit’s junior varsity won the nine-team girls meet with 186 points.

“We like to use this to see where we’re at and how things add up when we put it all on the table,” Slater said. “We told the kids at the beginning of the week we wanted to try to win this thing.”

Hawk junior Jeremy Desrosiers had a phenomenal meet, winning the 200-meter sprint with a personal-record time of 22.78 seconds in addition to taking first in the long jump with a mark of 20 feet, 9 inches.

Jim Maciariello stands at home plate in Fenway Park West in a photo taken April 12. The baseball field is a one-third-scale replica of the real Fenway Park in Boston that Maciariello created on his property near Drain, south of Eugene.

DRAIN — Unlike in the movie “Field of Dreams,” no voice whispered to Jim Maciariello, “If you build it, he will come.”

But just as in the 1989 classic baseball movie starring Kevin Costner, the story of Maciariello’s homemade ballpark does come with similar storylines: Fathers and sons. Fenway Park. History. And a rural dreamer not afraid to think outside the batter’s box.

The Boston Red Sox’s Fenway Park,

which has a role in the movie, rose to life the same week that the Titanic sunk to its death.

The first game at Fenway was played 100 years ago Friday. For perspective on how long ago 1912 was, consider that President John F. Kennedy’s grandfather threw out the first pitch.

The park has endured two world wars, the Depression, and proposals to replace it. It is now the oldest venue of any professional sports team in America.

Fry struck out six batters and walked two en route to his first career shutout. Ryan Dunn and Tyler Smith each had three hits for the Beavers (25-12 overall, 7-7 Pac12), who managed only two hits in Friday’s 4-0 loss in the opener of the three-game series. Dunn drove in the game’s first run with a double in the third inning, and he hit his fifth home run of the season in the sixth. Nick Vander Tuig was the losing pitcher for UCLA (26-9, 11-6), allowing eight hits and three runs in 5 1/3 innings. The series concludes today with a game starting at 1:05 p.m.

• WSU upends No. 8 Oregon: Washington State rallied for six runs in the eighth inning to overcome a 3-2 deficit and beat Oregon 8-3 Saturday at PK Park in Eugene, evening the Pac-12 Conference series at a game apiece. Designated hitter Adam Nelubowich delivered the tying and go-ahead runs for the Cougars with a double to deep center field. Washington State (19-16 overall, 6-7 Pac-12) scored six runs in the eighth on just three hits and an Oregon error. Brett Hambright was three for three and Brett Thomas added two hits for the Ducks (27-11, 11-6). Tommy Richards, WSU’s senior second baseman from Bend, was hitless in four turns at bat but scored a run for the winners. The three-game series concludes today starting at noon.

Castro said before Saturday’s game against the Cincinnati Reds that he’s “happy it’s over.” He says the allegations made it tough to play every day. Cook County prosecutors said Friday they would not file charges. State’s attorney spokeswoman Sally Daly said police and prosecutors reviewing the case found insufficient evidence to charge the 21-year-old player.

NBA ROUNDUP

Blazers lose fifth straight Th e Associated Press MEMPHIS, Tenn. — The Memphis Grizzlies are continuing their winning ways headed into the postseason, even if the recent performances aren’t exactly stellar.

The Grizzlies almost let a 12-point lead evaporate in the final four minutes before holding on for their fourth straight victory, defeating the Portland Trail Blazers 93-89 on Saturday night.

Rudy Gay scored 21 points and had a key block in the final seconds to preserve the Memphis victory as the Trail Blazers scored 10 straight points down the stretch. Gay, who was nine of 16 from the field, turned away Wesley Matthews’ three-point attempt with about five seconds left to seal the win and send the short-handed Trail Blazers to their fifth straight loss.

It marked the second straight night Memphis has struggled against a sub-.500 team. The Grizzlies had to battle in the fourth quarter Friday night before winning 85-80 at Charlotte.

“Sometimes, we play to the level of our opponents,” said Memphis center Marc Gasol, who had 12 points. “If we play a good team, we play a lot better. If we play the not-so-good teams, we play to their level.

That’s a part of the process of getting better and being a good team. At least, we get up at the end and realize that we’ve actually got to win.”

O.J. Mayo scored 14 points for Memphis, Marreese Speights had 13 points and 11 rebounds and Dante Cunningham finished with 12 points.

“Right now, we’re just trying to continue to build and get better for these playoff runs,” Cunningham said.

“Just trying to sharpen all our tools and make sure everything is right going into the playoffs.”

J.J. Hickson had 23 points and 13 rebounds to lead Portland, while Jamal Crawford had 21 points despite going five of 13 from the field, part of the Trail Blazers’ 37 percent shooting for the game. Matthews had 16 points and Luke Babbitt added 10.

fourth-year forward out of North Carolina State. He entered the game averaging 14.4 points and 7.9 rebounds in the 14 games since he was signed off waivers by the Blazers on March 21.

“I thought J.J. had a great night, especially on the boards,” Portland coach Kaleb Canales said. “He ended up with seven offensive rebounds. J.J. has been terrific for us, and we are excited to have him.”

The win kept Memphis’ hopes alive to try to reach the fourth seed in the Western Conference that would mean homecourt advantage in the first round. The Grizzlies moved within a half-game of the idle Los Angeles Clippers, who hold the fourth spot.

Memphis dominated inside

holding a 58-32 advantage in the paint, and seemed in control until a final Portland burst late in the fourth quarter.

Hickson scored seven early points in the fourth, part of a 10-2 run that pulled Portland within 83-77 with about seven minutes left.

Memphis coach Lionel Hollins responded by putting his starters back in the game.

The Grizzlies rebuilt the lead to double digits as Gay scored inside and Gasol had two baskets.

Still, the Trail Blazers pushed back with 10 straight points and trailed 91-89 with 10.1 seconds left and they had the ball.

But after Gay blocked Matthews’ three-point attempt with about five seconds remaining, Mayo hit two free

throws with 3.2 seconds left for the final margin.

A llmendinger to start on pole at Kansas The Associated Press KANSAS CITY, Kan. — A.J. Allmendinger rolled off the track and hopped out of his car, convinced that he’d put together a decent qualifying run but expecting to start somewhere in the top 15 today.

Turns out he’ll be starting up front.

Allmendinger captured his second career Sprint Cup pole Saturday, turning a lap of 175.993 mph in his Penske Racing Dodge to knock Kevin Harvick off the top spot.

Joey Logano had the third fastest time but will start at the rear after changing engines during practice Friday.

It was the first pole for Allmendinger since 2010 at Phoenix. He nearly had the pole last month at Bristol but was edged out by Greg Biffle by a thousandth of a second.

“I didn’t think the lap was amazing. I thought it was OK,” said Allmendinger, who learned his lap time from crew chief Todd Gordon moments later and couldn’t help but smile.

“I was kind of shocked by it,” he said. “Everybody has been working hard. We’re getting closer — we’re not where we want to be at.”

Logano went off first in qualifying and posted a lap of 175.724 mph, then watched as car after car failed to touch his time. It wasn’t until Harvick turned a lap of 175.747 that Logano was finally bumped.

“We’ll shotgun the field,” Logano said. “It’s like the old short-track days. Didn’t they pay you more if you started at the back and you passed them all?

“I’ll have to talk to NASCAR about that.”

Denny Hamlin posted the fourth-fastest lap, followed

by Mark Martin and Martin Truex Jr. Dale Earnhardt Jr. qualified seventh for Hendrick Motorsports, which is trying to end a 13-race drought

Johnson qualified 15th after going sideways in Turns 1 and 2. He managed to recover down the back stretch and put together a solid second lap, but the bobble through the corner may have cost him a chance for his second consecutive top-10 qualifying run.

“An eventful 1 and 2,” said Johnson, a two-time winner at Kansas. “We know we got an awesome race car. I just hope we don’t hurt ourselves too bad here.”

Local favorite Clint Bowyer — who is from Emporia, Kan., and raced on the dirt track at nearby Lakeside Speedway — qualified eighth. Kasey Kahne was ninth and Sam Hornish Jr. was 10th.

Hornish was among 11 cars that had to make the field on time. The full-time Nationwide driver will be making his first Sprint Cup start since Pocono last June.

Also on Saturday: Vettel gets first pole of season SAKHIR, Bahrain — Twotime world champion Sebastian Vettel claimed pole position for the first time this season at the Bahrain Grand Prix, where security remains tight amid expectations of anti-government protests.

Vettel, whose best finish this year was second place at the season-opening Australian Grand Prix, clocked 1 minute, 32.422 seconds in his Red Bull. That was 0.98 seconds faster than championship leader Lewis Hamilton of McLaren. Demonstrators have called for the race to be canceled until the ruling Sunni dynasty enacts reforms.

PREP ROUNDUP

Gilchrest’s Sydney Longbotham, right, clears a hurdle on the way to the finish line of the girls 100 meter hurdles during the La Pine invitational track and field meet on Saturday at La Pine High School.

Bend boys track takes Crater title

Joe Kline / The Bulletin

La Pine Continued from D1 Desrosiers also ran on La Pine’s 400and 1,600-meter relay teams, both of which placed first Saturday.

“That’s the first time he’s ever gone under 23 seconds,” Slater said about Desrosiers, who has won all five 200-meter races he has entered this season. “And he helped our (400-meter relay) post a PR (for this season).”

Colton George added wins for La Pine in the 110- and 300-meter hurdles, Travis Harrison took first in the shot put and discus, and Dylan Seay recorded victories in the pole vault and triple jump.

Distant runner Alan Nielsen led the Summit JV with wins in the 1,500 and 3,000, while Kyle Belanger paced the Culver boys with victories in the 400 and

800. Class 1A Gilchrist more than held its own against its bigger-school competitors in the boys meet as Zane Anderson took second in the shot put, Trinton Koch finished third in the 300 hurdles, Dillon Link placed third in the discus, and the Grizzlies’ 1,600-meter relay squad turned in a runner-up performance.

The Storm’s second unit stole the show at the girls meet — Summit’s varsity competed at the Oregon Relays in Eugene this weekend — as the JV squad produced 26 top-five finishes. Teammates Allie Bowlin and Emma Su tied for first in the 800, Mercedes Mingus won the javelin, Jade Danek took first in the high jump, and Ashley Needham bested the competition in the pole vault to lead the Storm.

While Summit won the girls meet going away with 186 points, runner-up La Pine (94 points) and fifth-place Gilchrist

(71) both had strong days. Hawk freshman McKenna Boen won the 300 hurdles and took second in the 100 hurdles, Holli Glenn was runner-up in the high jump, and Ashley Agenbroad and Brittaney Searcy went 1-3 in the discus for La Pine.

Sydney Longbotham and Brenna Gravitt highlighted the day for the Grizzlies. Longbotham, a sophomore, won the 100 hurdles and took fifth in the 200, while Gravitt, a senior, took first in the shot put, second in the 100 and fourth in the 200. Gilchrist also placed third in the girls 400-meter relay in 53.26 seconds, the fastest 1A time so far this season.

Lori Sandy paced the Culver girls, who finished seventh, with a win in the triple jump. Kala Tucker led the Redmond JV with a third-place effort in the triple jump.

Bu lletin staff report CENTRAL POINT — J.C. Grim won the high jump and triple jump, Danny Verdieck took first in the 110-meter hurdles and second in the 300 hurdles, and Joel Johnson captured first place in the pole vault Saturday as the Bend High boys won the 20-team Crater Classic track and field meet on Saturday.

The Lava Bears scored a meet-best 83.5 points to edge out host Crater (78 points), North Medford (67), and crosstown rival Mountain View (65), who placed second, third and fourth, respectively.

Hidden Valley won the girls meet with 75 points, narrowly defeating runner-up Crater (69 points) and third-place Mountain View (67).

“To win a big meet like this, you have to have kids win events,” Bend coach Matt Craven said. “And we won events.”

Grim, a senior, was a pointscoring machine Saturday, placing third in the javelin and fourth in the long jump in addition to his two victories in the jumps. He cleared 6 feet, 6 inches in the high jump, a two-inch personal record, and went 44-11 1/2 in the triple jump, another PR, on a surprisingly warm spring day at Crater High.

Mitch Modin was the man of the day for the Cougars.

He won the long jump with a mark of 21-07 1/2, took second to Grim on misses in the high jump (6-06) and placed fourth in the 300 hurdles. Modin also ran a 50-second split while anchoring Mountain View’s 1,600-meter relay, helping the Cougars take second in 3:28.87.

Dimitri Dillard placed second in the long jump to Modin, Blake Bosch finished third in the high jump, and Hayden Czmowski finished third in the discus for the Mountain View boys.

In the girls competition, Cougar junior Anna Roshak won the shot put and recorded a runner-up finish in the discus to lead Mountain View, which ended the day just eight points out of first place.

The Cougars’ 400-meter relay squad of Macaulay Wilson, Krysta Kroeger, Tash Anderson and Brian Bolster also won their race.

Bend senior Jessica Wolfe led the Lava Bear girls, who finished ninth, with a thirdplace effort in the 3,000. Additionally, Bend High teammates Emily Geddes and Tesla Wright placed third and fourth in the pole vault.

In other prep events Saturday: TRACK AND F I E L D Storm wins combined team title at Oregon Relays EUGENE — Summit won the combined boys and girls team championship at the Oregon Relays for the second time in three years, topping Washington’s Gig Harbor High at the 36-team, two-day invitational meet. The Storm boys took first in both the 1,600-meter relay (3 minutes, 25.99 seconds) and the sprint medley event (3:38.64) and placed second in the distance medley (10:31.52). Michael Wilson led the boys team with a victory in the 300 hurdles (39.55) and a third-place finish in the 400 (50.15). Additionally, Matthew Maton took first in the freshman 3,000.

On the girls side, Ashley Maton won the 800 (2:16.57) and teammates Sarah Taylor and Lucinda Howard tied for second in the high jump. Piper McDonald placed fourth in the freshman 3,000 for the Storm, while Megan Fristoe was fifth in the 3,000 for Summit.

Cowboys fourth, Cowgirls sixth at Prefontaine Invite COOS BAY — Hunter Bourland’s victory in the long jump contributed to Crook County’s fourth-place boys finish at the Prefontaine Rotary Invitational. Bourland won the long jump with a mark of 20 feet, 10 1/2 inches, and he also ran a leg on the Cowboys’ 400-meter relay team that placed second.

The Crook County girls placed sixth. Marshfield won both the boys and girls team titles. In addition to Bourland’s victory,

the Cowboys finished third in the boys 1,600-meter relay, Grayson Munn took third in the 3,000, and Chance Sutfin placed third in the shot put. On the girls side, Kelley Thurman was the runner-up in the 3,000.

NHL PLAYOFF ROUNDUP

Blues knock Sharks from playoffs

Eric Gay / The Associated Press

Ben Curtis hits his drive on the 12th hole during the third round of the Texas Open, Saturday in San Antonio.

Curtis maintains lead in Texas as final round looms The Associated Press SAN ANTONIO — Ben Curtis is still ahead at the Texas Open, leaving him just one round from his first PGA Tour victory since 2006 in what has been his most humbling year as a pro.

But a pack of mostly nonwinners could make redemption difficult.

Curtis finally made his first stumbles at the Texas Open — once holding up a group playing six holes back when hacking the ball into the neighboring fairway was his only escape from under a tree — but his 1-over 73 was enough to stay atop the leaderboard at 9 under Saturday.

Matt Every was grateful to end a long day in the same position where he started — three strokes behind the former British Open champion. Every shot a 73 after waking early to finish his suspended second round, but it’s his course-record 63 from Thursday that still has him in contention.

Mayakoba winner John Huh (67), Seung-Yui Noh (68) and Charlie Wi (71) were five strokes back at 4 under.

Aside from Huh, no one within five strokes of Curtis has won on the tour. Despite six years passing since his last victory, Curtis said he knows how to handle the final round: Simply worry about himself.

“In the past when I’ve played in these circumstances, that’s what I did: I just focused on my game and if at the end of 18 holes it’s good enough to win, great,” Curtis said. “If not, I have to shake the guy’s hand that won and move forward.”

The Texas Open is only the fourth PGA Tour stop this year for Curtis, whose tournament invitations are no longer a sure thing after his status plummeted near the bottom rungs of the tour.

Curtis preserved his lead despite two double bogeys, including a wayward drive on the par-5 8th that left the 2003 British Open champion hitting twice from the adjacent fairway. Curtis said he and his caddie decided there was no other choice after his tee shot veered left and landed under a mesquite tree, surrounded by cactus and with no clear path back toward the hole.

“We were joking that we were on the second hole for 50 minutes today,” Curtis said.

Curtis has some history on his side: Since 2000, eight third-round leaders at the Texas Open have held on to win.

Every called his round “scrappy” after he started the week with a course record at TPC San Antonio, where he showed up just two weeks removed from ditching his swing instructor and a new laid-back stance on practice — which sometimes means not practicing at all.

He had three bogeys Saturday but was saved by a couple birdies, including a 10-footer

GOLF ROUNDUP set up by a dead-on tee shot on the par-3 3rd.

“Overall, not bad,” Every said. “I have a chance to win.”

Matt Kuchar, the tournament’s top-ranked player at No. 15, pulled back into contention with a 67 that was only marred by a bogey on the par4 11th when the wind rolled his approach off the green to 21 feet on the fringe.

“I put myself in position,” Kuchar said. “Maybe a long shot, but at least a chance.”

Kuchar was tied for sixth at 3 under along with Greg Chalmers (69), Brian Gay (71), Cameron Tringale (76) and David Mathis (77).

Mathis’ tumble was particularly swift. After starting the day two strokes off the lead, Mathis sank three birdies and walked to No. 15 in third place. But he bogeyed the hole and then made matters worse on the par-3 16th when his tee shot sailing into a crowded grandstand of ducking spectators.

In other Saturday games: Miyazato wins LPGA Tour event KAPOLEI, Hawaii — Japan’s Ai Miyazato won the LPGA LOTTE Championship for her eighth career LPGA Tour title, birdieing three of the last six holes for a 2-under 70 and a four-stroke victory.

Miyazato finished at 12-under 276 at wind-swept Ko Olina.

She opened with rounds of 71, 65 and 70 to take a threestroke lead in the final round.

Meena Lee, tied for the lead after a birdie on No. 15, had a 70 to tie for second with Azahara Munoz at 8 under. Munoz finished with a 70.

Two groups lead Legends SAVANNAH, Ga. — David Frost and Michael Allen birdied nine of the first 13 holes and combined for a 9-under 63 for a share of the secondround lead with Tom Purtzer and Brad Bryant in the Legends of Golf. Bryant and Allen had a 65 to match Frost and Allen at 19 under at The Club at Savannah Harbor.

Grace up three shots in Belgium TIANJIN, China — South Africa’s Branden Grace shot an 8-under 64 to take a threeshot lead over defending champion Nicolas Colsaerts of Belgium after the third round of the China Open. The 23year-old Grace had an 18-under 198 total at Binhai Lake.

Colsearts shot a 66.

Westwood on top at 13 under JAKARTA, Indonesia — Defending champion Lee Westwood birdied two of the first four holes to open a four-stroke lead at 13 under in the Indonesian Masters before lightning and rain halted the third round. Myanmar’s Zaw Moe was second at 9 under, also through four holes at Royale Jakarta Golf Club when play in the Asian Tour event was suspended.

The Associated Press ST. LOUIS — The St. Louis Blues were 6-7 when coach Ken Hitchcock came aboard.

They’ve been among the NHL’s best ever since.

Jamie Langenbrunner and David Perron scored in a 45second span in the third period, and the Blues woke up in time to put away the San Jose Sharks 3-1 and wrap up their first-round series Saturday night.

“It was a frustrating two periods, obviously we wanted to come out and jump to the lead. We had to push them out of the game,” Langenbrunner said. “We just stuck with it.”

Joe Thornton scored in the final minute of the second period for San Jose, and the Sharks were seemingly in control before the flurry that ended their season.

“We competed hard, we just came up on the short end of the stick this time,” Thornton said. “Hats off to the Blues, they played great, but it’s a terrible feeling right now.”

Brian Elliott made 26 saves, and Andy McDonald ended all doubt with an empty-net goal in the final minute. St. Louis, the No. 2 seed in the Western Conference, won a playoff series for the first time in a decade against a franchise that reached the conference finals the previous two years. Before this series, St. Louis hadn’t won a playoff game in eight years.

“The fans have been waiting a long time and have been

Fenway Continued from D1 Only some of which explains why Maciariello, 58, and son Ben, 31, decided to build a one-third-scale version of Fenway Park on pop’s 60 acres just west of this Douglas County town about 40 miles southwest of Eugene.

Jim Maciariello’s father grew up in Boston. Jim, a longtime Red Sox fan, has more than a little of that gofor-it zaniness of the movie’s corn-farming lead character, Ray Kinsella, played by Costner. And Ben is the Oregon governor of the Red Sox Nation fan club.

So, the two have the Sox thing going. But there are tens of thousands of Red Sox fans who root ardently for the team but don’t spend $7,000 building — and then grooming the field of — a miniature Fenway Park. (Though YouTube suggests the Maciariellos are not alone.)

“At first, it was just going to be an outfield fence for a Wiffle ball game at a Fourth of July picnic,” says Jim. That was summer 2005.

Three weeks later, when the first Wiffle ball fluttered toward home plate on July 4, batters, indeed, had a fence to swing for.

But nurtured by the soggy Oregon winter that followed, father and son dreamed bigger.

“Dad, why not build a scaled-down Fenway?” Ben asked.

Jim didn’t need much persuading.

“Baseball,” he says, “is about kids and fun and remembering your favorite players. Baseball is time-

St. Louis Blues David Backes, left, and Alex Pietrangelo celebrate their 3-1 win over the San Jose Sharks Saturday in St. Louis. The Blues won the series 4-1.

very patient,” said defenseman Barret Jackman, the lone holdover from the last playoff team in 2004. “It’s nice to give them a little taste of what’s to come.”

The Blues seemed a step slow most of the way in front of a sellout crowd waving white rally towels before tying it with their checking line, and getting the go-ahead goal from their top line. They were the first team to come from behind after two periods to win in the series.

“We didn’t want to go back there, obviously,” Perron said.

“Knowing we didn’t want to go back there obviously made it that much bigger.”

The lightning strike rally began when Antti Niemi couldn’t handle Scott Nichol’s bouncing shot from just

less. And Fenway is the oldest park in America. So, we thought: ‘How cool would it be to have our family and friends trying to hit balls over the Green Monster?’”

They would build the famed, 37-foot-high wall in left field (a little over 12 feet in Drain), complete with Fenway’s trademark scoreboard.

Not only that, but the oddshape “triangle” in the center-field wall and “Pesky’s Pole” in right field. (The foul-ball marker was named for ex-Portlander Johnny Pesky, a Red Sox player from the 1940s and 1950s who had a propensity for hitting home runs just inside the pole.)

“We wanted it to look authentic,” says Jim, president of Riverbend Engineering Inc., a consulting firm he operates out of his home, which sits a quarter mile from the field.

For most of June 2006, he and Ben worked 12 hours a day and made more runs to the home improvement store than the Red Sox scored, per game, en route to winning the 2004 World Series.

They used oriented strand board — similar to plywood — for the stadium wall, anchoring it with 4-by-4s and strengthening it with angled 2-by-4s.

Beyond that, they enclosed the entire park with a 3-foot fence, and they put in a backstop and dugouts, all done in Fenway-green paint.

That done, they rototilled the field, smoothed it out, planted grass, carved out base paths in dirt and, of course, added the final touch: chalked lines. No grandstands — yet.

across the blue line and Langenbrunner tapped it home at 11:16, the first point of the series for both Nichol and Langenbrunner.

Perron deflected Alex Pietrangelo’s floater from the point on the next shot, and Elliott made the lead stand with a handful of nice saves the rest of the way. Pietrangelo aimed for the stick, not the net, on the go-ahead goal.

Also on Saturday: Senators. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 2 Rangers . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 0 NEW YORK — Craig Anderson stopped 41 shots to make Jason Spezza’s firstperiod goal stand up, and Ottawa pushed top-seeded New York to the brink of elimination with a victory in Game 5.

You see it through the trees for the first time and it thrills you the way seeing a whale thrills you. In giant letters, on the back of the Green Monster: “Fenway West.”

The field sits on a shelf among rolling hills and trees, far more intriguing than intruding, its low scale and green paint working well with the surroundings.

Fenway West is 121 feet to right and 103 to left. Jim and Ben placed left field due east of home plate to exploit winds out of the west; better, of course, for righties to poke homers.

Who plays Wiffle ball here?

Family. Friends. A few high school and American Legion baseball teams looking for some fun.

“The kids loved the history and the significance of all the detail,” says North Douglas High baseball coach Jeff Davis, whose team played there last spring.

Capitals . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 4 Bruins. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 3 BOSTON — Troy Brouwer scored on a power play with 1:27 left, giving Washington the victory and moving defending champion Boston a loss away from elimination.

The Capitals can wrap up the best-of-seven series at home today.

Panthers. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 3 Devils . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 0 SUNRISE, Fla. — Kris Versteeg scored a goal and set up another, Jose Theodore made 30 saves for his second playoff shutout, and Florida beat New Jersey to move a win away from its first series win in 16 years. Martin Brodeur made 30 saves for New Jersey, which hosts a win-or-else Game 6 on Tuesday night. If necessary, Game 7 is at Florida on Thursday night.

Blackhawks. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 2 Coyotes . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 1 GLENDALE, Ariz. — Jonathan Toews scored 2:44 into overtime and Chicago staved off elimination with a victory over Phoenix. The Blackhawks came up with a tying goal in the third period for the fourth time in the series, though this one came a little earlier than the others with Nick Leddy scoring midway through the period. Chicago will have a chance to even the series in Game 6 on Monday night in Chicago.

But, no, unlike in “Field of Dreams,” the cars have never lined up bumper to bumper on Highway 38.

And, no, in relation to the movie’s “If you build it, he will come” line — often misquoted as “they” will come — Jim’s father has never walked out of the Douglas firs for a game of catch with his son at Fenway West.

But recently, as Jim threw pitches to his son, Ben, in the ballpark the two of them built, you were reminded of a truth that has lasted like Fenway itself: Baseball is, indeed, timeless. And, in its innocence, it till connects people to life’s deeper things.

JOHN COSTA

Telfer and Knopp are different

A

t the risk of appearing painfully obvious, Chris Telfer is not Tim Knopp.

And Tim Knopp is not Chris Telfer.

That simplistic distinction is important because these two very competent and experienced politicians are running against each other in the May primary.

It’s fair to say that few, if any, learned political observers predicted that former legislator Knopp, now the executive vice president of the Central Oregon Builders Association, would challenge Telfer, the incumbent Republican senator from Central Oregon.

Or that Knopp’s challenge, which could impact the political calculus in the state Legislature, would draw the support of two Republican representatives: Mike McLane of Powell Butte and Jason Conger of Bend.

Why, after all, would a political party jeopardize incumbency, not to mention spending a lot of money knocking off a sitting senator — unless there is some profound political division between the two?

So far, the accusations and claims of the two are not very informative.

Knopp says Telfer committed the cardinal sin of supporting a statewide vote challenging the permanence of the state’s tax kicker.

Telfer’s supporters say that’s an interesting accusation coming from the one-time prince of referenda.

Telfer’s camp suggests Knopp is a shill for the building industry. Knopp’s fans say Telfer was once a real Democrat and is now a virtual one.

This back and forth ranges across redistricting, job creation, support for the Oregon State University’s expansion in Central Oregon, etc., etc.

In the end, each candidate comes to represent the sum of all pejoratives. And voters are expected to sift through the slings and cast a vote.

That’s not fair to the voters, and it is not fair to the candidates.

Turning the discussion toward what each believes is the role of government elicits a better sense of what each holds to be true. It’s apparent that there are differences. Some are matters of degree, but others are more profound.

Telfer sees the role of government as “enabler.” Whether it is through tax structure, education or protection of citizens, she believes government’s role is to “enable people to be self sufficient.”

It’s a positive view of government.

Perhaps it’s just a matter of tone, but Knopp’s view of the role of government is more restrictive.

Government, he said, “should only be doing that which the private sector can’t do efficiently.”

Telfer does not argue that the government should do everything any more than Knopp is arguing that it should do nothing. Both agree that the government has a role in critical services for, in Knopp’s words, “people who don’t have the means,” or, in Telfer’s words, “people who are disabled.”

But they have different priorities.

To Telfer, the most important function of government is public education, “pre-k through college.” However, she supports extensive reforms. “We have a long way to go,” she adds.

“Public safety,” she believes, “is doing the best it can with the budget it has.”

Knopp believes the top priority of government is public safety. He refers positively to public education but also believes in “options,” such as “private schools, home schools, secular or religious.”

A supporter of charter schools, he believes parents should have more choice. They both think government should be friendlier to business, and they both prefer a more limited role for government in health care and social services.

All the campaign attacks aside, they are both good candidates with similar instincts but different emphasis.

Taxation may be the clearest portal through which to view these two good pubic servants. Knopp sees profligacy; Telfer sees inefficiency. Telfer would comb the budget to make sure every dime the government gets is used well.

Knopp would prefer fewer dimes.

At least that is my impression.

Hope it helps.

IN PURSUIT OF

Lyndon Johnson

• Over 40 years, Robert Caro has made it his mission to research and understand the 36th president

By Charles McGrath • The New York Times

R

obert Caro probably knows more about power, political power especially, than anyone who has never had some.

He has never run for any sort of office himself and would probably have lost if he had. He’s a shy,

soft-spoken man with old–fashioned manners and an old-fashioned New York accent (he says “toime” instead of “time” and “foine” instead of fine), so self-conscious that talking about himself makes him squint a little. The idea of power, or of powerful people, seems to repel him as much as it fascinates.

And yet Caro has spent virtually his whole adult life studying power and what can be done with it, first in the case of Robert Moses, the great developer and urban planner, and then in the case of Lyndon Johnson, whose biography he has been writing for close to 40 years.

Caro can tell you exactly how Moses heedlessly rammed the Cross Bronx Expressway through a middle-class neighborhood, displacing thousands of families, and exactly how Johnson stole the Texas Senate election of 1948, winning by 87 spurious votes. These stories still fill him with outrage but also with something like wonder, the two emotions that sustain him in what amounts to a solitary, Dickensian occupation with long hours and few holidays.

Caro is the last of the 19thcentury biographers, the kind who believe that the life of a great or powerful man deserves not just a slim volume, or even a fat one, but a whole shelf full. He dresses every day in a jacket and tie and reports to a 22nd-floor office in a nondescript building near Columbus Circle, where his neighbors are lawyers or investment firms.

His office looks as if it belongs to the kind of CPA who still uses ledgers and a handcranked adding machine.

There are an old wooden desk, wooden file cabinets and a maroon leather couch that never gets sat on. Here Caro writes the old-fashioned way: in longhand, on large legal pads.

Caro began “The Years of Lyndon Johnson,” his multivolume biography of the 36th president, in 1976, not long after finishing “The Power Broker,” his immense, Pulitzer Prize-winning biography of Moses. Caro figured he could do Johnson’s life in three volumes, which would take him six years or so. Next month, a fourth installment, “The Passage of Power,” will appear 10 years after the last, “Master of the Senate,” which came out 12 years after its predecessor, “Means of Ascent,” which in turn was published 8 years after the first book, “The Path to Power.”

These are not ordinary-size volumes, either. “Means of Ascent,” at 500 pages or so, is the comparative shrimp of the bunch.

Put the public first, not Apple

C

rook County gave Facebook and Apple special tax treatment for bringing needed jobs and construction. But the agreement with Apple shows what may

be a troubling, widespread practice in Oregon of giving companies special treatment when it comes to public records.

Assistant County Counsel Eric Blaine told us the county agreed to contact Apple first when the county gets a public records request involving the company. The company can then submit an opinion about whether a record should be released.

We imagine such opinions would be meditations on the word “no.�

Why does Apple get that privilege? Blaine said Apple asked for it.

It’s embedded in the contract.

Is that the county’s typical policy? Blaine said it is uncommon.

Facebook may have a similar deal.

Blaine did not know off the top of his head.

Attorneys and officials at Business Oregon — the state agency that tries to recruit and keep business in the state — say it’s not at all unusual for companies to have language about how records requests will be handled.

If they are similar to the agreement with Apple, that is not good news.

The agreement with Apple says Apple may mark any materials submitted to the Crook County or Prineville as “PROPRIETARY� or “CONFIDENTIAL.� If a request is made for such material, Apple must be notified within two business days. Apple has 10 business days to decide to challenge or appeal the release, the agreement says. Apple will pay all the costs for the defense.

And under the agreement, Crook County and Prineville agree to co-

operate in fighting “any challenge or appeal to a court order, subpoena, public records request, or other applicable law� requiring the release.

Why would the county agree upfront to take Apple’s side? Isn’t it supposed to represent the interests of county residents first?

Oregon’s law put the public’s right to know first and makes narrow exceptions. The agreement with Apple puts Apple first.

We are as pleased as anyone that Apple decided to locate a data center in Crook County. There’s nothing illegal about consulting with an affected company about a public records request. And a company certainly has a right to protect its products and trade secrets. The public, though, does have a right to know things such as impacts on health or how Apple is living up to its commitments to the community.

Under the agreement, if it comes to a fight over what is secret, it will be the Crook County public v. one of the richest companies in the world — with local government in its corner. Who do you think is going to win?

We called the elected leaders of Crook County to ask what they think. County Judge Mike McCabe did not call us back. County Commissioner Ken Fahlgren did not call us back. County Commissioner Seth Crawford did not call us back.

Maybe they were checking with Apple first.

Out-of-state companies shouldn’t be ruled out

K

eep it local. It’s the slogan of campaigns for buying from local businesses and debates about school control. In Oregon, it was also part of the argument for the reform to the Oregon Health Plan the Legislature passed.

It turns out that control of the Oregon Health Plan may not be so local. Two national health care organizations are maneuvering to serve Medicaid patients in Oregon under the new law. And that’s got some Oregon legislators concerned.

But if the out-of-state organizations can deliver on the program’s requirements, they should not be excluded.

Gov. John Kitzhaber made it a priority to change how Oregon serves Medicaid patients.

Under the reform, networks of health care providers will agree to work together to provide Medicaid coverage to a community. The providers join to form “coordinated care organizations� or CCOs.

CCOs get a budget. They have to meet targets set by the state. The hope is they can coordinate to meet the goals of better health, better care and lower costs.

CCOs would also be local.

The Oregon Health Authority says: “CCOs will be local.� “Coordinated care organizations will be local organizations,� added Bruce Goldberg, director of the Oregon Health Authority, recently in a speech to the City Club of Portland, according to The Oregonian.

Centene Corporation of Missouri and United Healthcare of Minnesota have both submitted letters of intent to operate as CCOs in Oregon.

The primary goals of the reform are the so-called triple aim of better health, better care and lower costs.

If it’s a company from Missouri or Minnesota that can do that best for an Oregon community, it doesn’t matter what state they are from.

My Nickel’s Worth Weight loss pills do work Zero evidence for claim These days it seems like Bulletin writer Anne Aurand can’t survive 30 days without launching another salvo aimed directly at the nutritional supplement industry.

Her latest bash piece, titled “Study: Weight loss pills are futile,� enlisted the support of Melinda Manore, who supposedly is some kind of expert authority of everything having to do with weight loss.

Both Aurand and Manore are trying to convince readers of the same old shopworn nonsense that weight loss pills are ineffective, unregulated and cause side effects that may be as bad as “strokes and heart problems.�

What they’re not telling you is that not only do they work very well, but their manufacturers are bound by the FDA’s regulations called Good Manufacturing Practices (GMPs).

As for that side effects scare tactic, if any of those were remotely possible, not only does the FDA demand full disclosure, but it has the authority to enforce a recall.

Apparently, Aurand and Manore have never watched one episode of the nationally televised Dr. Oz show, in which he has repeatedly stated to his viewers that weight loss supplements are safe and effective. Otherwise that ridiculous article would never have appeared in The Bulletin. Shame on Aurand for writing such a pile of baloney.

She should know better than to take unwarranted cheap shots against an entire industry without first documenting hard facts to back them up.

On April 4th, a letter by Dick Beal titled “Multiple systems of justice� described the case of U.S. soldier Sgt. Robert Bales “who shot up Afghanistan civilians� (i.e., murdered 17 men, women, children).

Beal describes the clamor to try and execute Bales quickly, despite “his having suffered a traumatic brain injury.�

While the role of that injury remains uncertain, the clamor to quickly “execute� Bales came from Afghans outraged over the senseless slaughter. Imagine the justifiable anger here had the victims been Americans.

Beal then contrasts this case to that of Army Maj. Nidal Malik Hasan, the Muslim killer of 13 soldiers at Fort Hood in Texas. Hasan has not yet been tried though the horrific killings took place in November 2009. It is certainly valid to express concern about that delay.

Both cases are being handled in the military justice system, and Hasan’s lead attorney, a lieutenant colonel, has said the delay was necessitated for adequate pre-trial preparation.

According to Wikipedia, the court martial will begin June 12, 2012. No date has been set for the trial of Sgt. Bales.

Regardless, at the end of his letter, Beal claims that “Since Hasan is Muslim, Obama will see to it he never stands trial.� This is an outrageous statement backed by zero evidence. The pace of each investigation is dictated by those in the military. If Obama had directed that Hasan never come to trial, it would have been leaked.

Such a baseless charge does not

deserve the print space it occupies.

A riverbank transformed Over the past 15 years, the banks of the Deschutes River through the Old Mill District have seen a dramatic transformation — and I am not talking about the development of retail stores, restaurants, offices and entertainment venues. Rather, I am referring to the actual riverbank itself. Prior to the development of the Old Mill District as we now know it, the 90-year or so operation of the sawmills along this stretch of river decimated its banks.

Although those businesses were vital to the early development of Bend, such destruction would not be condoned today. Fast forward to the present: The river banks are alive with vegetation, waterfowl, upland birds, other wildlife and the river has improved fish habitat and water quality.

It can never again be as it was prior to the sawmills, but it is once again beautiful. The transformation was made possible by the forethought of Bill Smith, whose development emphasized and capitalized on the natural and restored beauty of the Deschutes River. There were some who criticized how this was accomplished — but all one has to do is look at the variety of “life� along this stretch of the river to appreciate what has transpired.

So, as spring approaches and you again begin to paddle, float and play along this stretch of the Deschutes, look around and make sure you say thank you to Bill.

Dreams of utopia leave individual freedom in tatters

By Alfred R. Ferguson resident Barack Obama’s justification for another four years to complete his destruction of our nation will be backed by a huge propaganda war-chest, money raked in from constant campaigning IN MY (taxpayer-funded). He has raised tons of cash campaigning (instead of governing), plus payoffs from future “Solyndras� lined up for their contributors’ reward — of taxpayers’ dollars — from Obama.

And let us not forget the contributions of the “Hollywood Left,� so concerned for women’s dignity and Christian values, like “comedian� Bill Mahr.

From him, that funny little man, a million bucks.

And the soup-of-the-day Obama proposes to serve us? Fairness! Oh yes!

We want a huge helping! But what’s in it? Don’t ask. (Like Obamacare, we’ll

P

be told later by some edict of his imperial majesty’s “executive order� or “executive discretion.�) Just shut up.

Suck it up. Be respectful. For we are to be transformed into “the fairness societyâ€? by ‌ what is he again? One of the greatest U. S. presidents?

VIEW Who created him, this radical Marxist transformer/ideologue? They don’t allow us to follow the “money trail� (“sealed� records). But they can’t stop us from following the “idea trail.� All we need is our library card. (Until they control us completely.)

The “idea trail� leads to the leftist/liberal/Marxist dream of forging a golden “fairness� utopia out of the base metals of human nature — Marxist alchemy (magical chemistry distilled from magical thinking) intoxicating to George Soros, the “Hollywood elite� and other delusional trolls hooked on

the narcotic of delusion — the ruinous political idealism of utopianism.

Utopian notions in practice invariably end in dictatorial rule over individual freedom: in extermination of individuals refusing to dissolve themselves into the mass. Why don’t our utopian believers go to Cuba, or North Korea, or to Venezuela where the tyrannical bureaucratic anthill of each utopian paradise of “fairness� sets the “fair� price of everything but determines the value of nothing?

Only free individuals in the free market of a free society can determine value, by individual choice, compounded many times. Consequently nothing of value is to be had in such places — except for luxury imports available only to the “elite� that Obama seems to admire.

Eminent entomologist (insect specialist) Edward Wilson says of Marxist

utopianism, “right idea; wrong species� (right for ants; wrong for humans).

If Obama gets another four years to further “transform� our nation, “The fate of America and of the Western nations, including Israel, will be left in the hands of a man with a lifelong hostility to Western Values and Western Ideals,� said Thomas Sowell.

And let’s not forget Obama’s own words recently: “After my election I [will] have more flexibility� concerning his weakening of America’s military defense.

After rendering our nation vulnerable to enemies, “flexible� Obama, apparently repelled by the principles of America’s founding, can bury us even deeper in his labyrinthine leftist bureaucrat-ruled anthill from hell with countless agencies empowered to make rules, enforce rules, judge whether rules have been broken, and

mete out punishments: the antithesis of our Constitutional liberty; the opposite of our founders’ intended safeguards against tyrannical oppression ‌ fundamentally “transformingâ€? the relationship of the individual to the state.

Classical liberalism, once-upon-atime a noble political philosophy, has now morphed into a diseased secular religion obliterating common sense, reason, rationality and the wisdom distilled from empiric experience — all of which once formed the basis of yesteryear’s classical liberal philosophy to which Martin Luther King was devoted.

To know the content of today’s liberalism, examine the content of Obama’s character. But today’s liberals find that difficult. They stumble over the superficial color of the man’s skin. — Alfred R. Ferguson lives in Bend.

When administrations implode A

dministration meltdowns are hardly novel. In almost every presidency there comes a moment when sheer chaos takes hold, whether self-induced or as a result of an outside crisis.

Vietnam had effectively destroyed Lyndon Johnson by 1967. Watergate unraveled the Richard Nixon administration, as the disgraced president resigned in the face of certain impeachment. Gerald Ford could not whip inflation and was not re-elected. One-termer Jimmy Carter was undone by the Iranian hostage crisis and skyrocketing oil prices.

For a time, it seemed that Ronald Reagan’s second term might not survive the Iran-Contra scandal. George H.W. Bush could not be re-elected after he broke his promise not to raise taxes and Ross Perot entered the 1992 race. The popular Bill Clinton was impeached over the Monica Lewinsky affair and limped out of office tainted. The insurgency in Iraq and the fallout from Hurricane Katrina crashed for good the once-high poll ratings of George W. Bush.

The Obama administration over the last month has seemed on the verge of one of these presidential meltdowns.

An open mic caught the president promising Russian President Dmitry Medvedev that he would be more flexible after the election — as if Obama might grant concessions that would be unpalatable if known to the general public before November. That embarrassment followed

VICTOR DAVIS HANSON an earlier hot-mic put-down of Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu last year.

The president also unwisely attacked the Supreme Court as it deliberated the constitutionality of Obamacare. He needlessly referred to the justices as “unelected” and wrongly claimed that that they had little precedent to overturn laws that dealt with commerce. The gaffe about the court and its history was doubly embarrassing because Obama has often reminded the public that he used to teach constitutional law.

Democrats unwisely went after the Catholic Church and religious conservatives on the grounds that they did not support federal subsidies for contraceptives and abortioninducing drugs. Another gratuitous scrap soon escalated into an unnecessary fight with Catholic bishops.

To widen the controversy further, Vice President Joe Biden and Democratic National Committee Chairwoman Debbie Wasserman Schultz alleged that the contraceptive fight was part of a wider Republican “war on women.”

But that new psychodrama also blew up in the administration’s face when a zealous Democratic consultant, Hilary Rosen, claimed that Ann Romney, wife of presumptive Re-

publican presidential nominee Mitt Romney, had “never worked a day in her life.” In fact, the affable Mrs. Romney had raised five children and had survived both multiple sclerosis and breast cancer.

That silly offensive got worse when, at almost the same time, news leaked that women working at the Obama White House, on average, made 18 percent less than their male counterparts there. Meanwhile, 11 Secret Service agents assigned to the president’s trip to Colombia were sent home for soliciting prostitutes -and then haggling over the cost. Not long before, the General Services Administration was caught wasting hundreds of thousands of dollars on a junket in Las Vegas -- leading to the resignation of the GSA administrator, a political appointee.

Then there was the aftermath of the Trayvon Martin shooting. After Obama’s disastrous 2009 commentary about the detention of Harvard professor Henry Louis Gates -- when the president alleged that police acted “stupidly” — he might have been wise to keep quiet about another explosive racial controversy. Instead, he foolishly plunged in with a puzzling comment that if he had a son, he would have looked like the deceased Trayvon Martin. That editorializing served no purpose except to remind the nation of the racial tensions simmering around the shooting.

The president also went after the rich with the “Buffett Rule,” which would ensure that millionaires like

his friend Warren Buffett paid at least 30 percent in income taxes.

But Obama and his wife Michelle paid just over 20 percent in federal taxes on the $790,000 they earned in 2011. And even if the bill passed, the Obama Treasury would only get new revenue amounting to less than half of 1 percent of what it borrows every year.

The effect of all these unnecessary missteps was to make the Obama administration appear inept — at precisely the time Republicans were unifying around Romney and ending their long, suicidal primary fights.

Some polls even showed Romney suddenly ahead in the presidential race.

So why is the president rashly picking these stupid fights?

Apparently his team wishes to divert attention from generally bleak economic news. The economy still suffers from a dramatic spike in gas prices, chronically high 8 percent plus unemployment, sluggish growth, and serial $1 trillion annual deficits that have sent the debt soaring to $16 trillion.

These perfect storms often either destroy presidents or turn them into unpopular lame ducks. Obama should learn from the fates of his predecessors: There are enough forces in the world to destroy a presidency without needlessly creating more on his own.

Bloomberg News

T

he multipronged attack carried out by a Taliban faction in Afghanistan last weekend, including sustained raids in the capital’s diplomatic quarter and on Parliament, was meant, the New York Times reported, to “undermine confidence in NATO and Afghan military gains.”

Well, mission accomplished, as they say. Although Afghan security forces, with help from NATO, eventually ended the assault, the Taliban’s ability to penetrate Kabul, which has been advertised as Afghanistan’s safest city, suggests a certain tenuousness to the overall security situation.

And the attacks raise an overarching worry: that the Obama administration, which is increasingly focused on withdrawing from Afghanistan, is acting according to an arbitrary timetable rather than conditions on the ground — which is to say, whether or not the Taliban is actually losing. In doing so, they seem to be avoiding the hardest questions.

By this September, the administration plans to withdraw the remaining 23,000 troops that were part of the “surge” ordered in 2009.

A complete withdrawal is planned by 2014. The American people, we have been told, are tired of spending money and lives on the conflict formerly known as “the good war.”

But what will they think in 2015, if broad stretches of southern and east-

ern Afghanistan have once again come under Taliban control?

The ability of the American military and intelligence community to monitor these areas will be enhanced, especially compared with the pre-Sept. 11 era. The administration plans to continue using drone strikes and small groups of special forces to fight terrorism there. But what if that isn’t enough to keep alQaida — which has been devastated, but not destroyed — from once again using these regions to train and to execute plots?

What will Americans think when they learn that many of Afghanistan’s women have been forced back under the burqa, and girls have been forced from schools built with U.S. tax dollars? Why, they may ask, did we waste so many lives and so much money in a conflict we decided we couldn’t win? Why did we stay in Afghanistan for so long without a coherent strategy?

I asked a senior U.S. military official to explain how we’ve reached the moment, after 10 years of war, when it seems plausible that the Taliban could one day rule the very same parts of Afghanistan they dominated before.

He proposed a modest counterfactual: Imagine, he said, if Western leaders had announced in December 2009 that the surge would come to an end not according to a predetermined timetable but only when the Taliban had been defeated. Such steadfastness could have caused the

Taliban to quickly collapse.

Now, of course, the United States is encouraging negotiations with the group it once sought to destroy.

The Obama administration’s goals seem muddled even to the people who fund the war. Last week, I visited Rep. Mike Rogers, a Michigan Republican and the chairman of the House Intelligence Committee. “The policy in Afghanistan is confusing to me, and if it’s confusing to me, who does this every day, it’s got to be confusing to someone whose primary responsibility is to raise their family and go to work,” he said.

I asked Rogers what, specifically, he found so confusing. His answer was pleasantly clear-cut. “The administration is talking about negotiating with the very people we’ve

“things that people want,” says Earl Devaney, a former inspector general at the Interior Department.

He should know: In 2008, he was the first official to reveal recent misconduct at the Minerals Management Service, where employees were found to be sleeping with oil and gas industry executives, using drugs at parties with them and accepting gifts from companies that contracted with the government.

The real aim of contracting services is ultimately neither to make money nor to spend it, but to achieve a greater good. “It’s watering down the culture of public service,” says Light, the NYU professor.

Legislators have vowed to get to the root of the problem. But Light worries that the over-the-top aspects of the latest GSA scandal could overshadow the congressional proceedings.

“We never fixed the core problems before because they’re boring,” Light says. “It’s much more fun to haul in the clown in front of the Homeland Security and Government Affairs Committee and ask, ‘So, what did you do for your $8,000?’”

been trying to discredit for 10 years,” he said. “We’ve been trying to gain the support of people who are scared to death of the Taliban, and now they’re scared to death that we’re trying to bring the Taliban back.”

Rogers, a former Army officer whose brother is a two-star general, doesn’t think it’s too late to inflict a strategic defeat on the Taliban. But he argues that this isn’t a goal shared by the Obama administration. “We were winning on the ground. I was one of the few who came out in favor of the president’s surge. Yes, people say we’ve been there for 10 years, but it’s really been only since 2009.

The surge is the real date. We had good intel then that the Taliban commanders were losing the fire in the belly. We saw what was happening, but guess what? We brought them back to life — we said we were leaving, we don’t care what the circumstances are. It’s a well-known idea that you never go to war thinking that you can’t win.”

The administration has been hinting lately that vital U.S. interests are no longer at stake in Afghanistan.

At the moment, when al-Qaida is mostly based in Pakistan, a putative American ally, this argument has some merit. But Rogers argues that premature withdrawal from Afghanistan could mean that parts of it are eventually reconstituted as terrorist safe havens.

Bureaucrats gone wild? It’s not that surprising

By Suzy Khimm The Washington Post

WASHINGTON — ree nights at the Ritz-Carlton, wine-braised short ribs, takehome swag — you could imagine all this being par for the course for an annual bash at Google, Exxon Mobil or another major corporation. When General Services Administration employees enjoyed such perks on the taxpayer’s dime, however, it became a huge scandal.

But it shouldn’t come as a surprise that some government employees have embraced the freewheeling ways of the private sector.

The business of government has become big business, as Washington has moved from providing direct services to the public to doling out private contracts.

It’s a transformation that’s happened over many decades — one intended to streamline the government by limiting the size of the federal workforce, boosting private industry’s role and introducing innovations from the private sector.

“Government should be citizencentered, results-oriented and, wherever possible, market-based,” said George W. Bush during his 2000 presidential campaign, and

F

he attempted to follow through in office.

But in certain pockets of the federal government, the push for private-sector efficiency has been eclipsed by a gross imitation of private-sector excess.

This month, top officials at the GSA resigned after a regional office spent more than $800,000 on a single conference in Las Vegas — an event that included the services of a mind reader and a clown. The irony of the scandal is that it came from an agency whose very purpose centers on handing out government contracts. In the process of giving out the government’s money, some GSA employees didn’t think twice about spending it on themselves.

The size of the executive branch has remained close to 2 million workers since the end of the Vietnam War, with a low of about 1.78 million in 2000 and a high of 2.25 million in 1985, according to the Office of Personnel Management.

But during that same period, “the federal budget has exploded, and things we deliver has expanded exponentially,” says Paul Light, a professor at New York University who has written a book on the subject.

Rather than hiring more work-

ers or using existing ones to carry out new federal activities directly — the way the government used to produce dentures for veterans, as Light recalls — Uncle Sam has instead doled out the money through the private sector.

This has created not only a proliferation of government contractors — private-sector employees who sometimes work side by side with federal workers — but also government contracts to arrange for all that spending. Amid this transformation, the GSA has become one of the government’s most important middlemen: It’s responsible for helping other agencies buy the goods and services they need, overseeing $66 billion in annual federal spending and government property worth $500 billion. As its former chief of staff John Phelps explained in a 2006 speech, “GSA may be the biggest federal agency you never heard of.”

The GSA essentially sits on a big pile of government money that private companies bid for, putting the unassuming Bartlebys of the world in constant contact with its Gordon Gekkos.

These types of problems often surface at agencies that have

Take one for the country I

had to catch a train in Washington, D.C., last week. The paved street in the traffic circle around Union Station was in such poor condition that I felt as though I was on a roller coaster.

I traveled on the Amtrak Acela, our sorry excuse for a fast train, on which I had so many dropped calls on my cellphone that you’d have thought I was on a remote desert island, not traveling from Washington to New York City. When I got back to Union Station, the escalator in the parking garage was broken. Maybe you’ve gotten used to all this and have stopped noticing. I haven’t. Our country needs a renewal.

And that is why I still hope Michael Bloomberg will reconsider running for president as an independent candidate, if only to participate in the presidential debates and give our two-party system the shock it needs.

President Barack Obama has significant achievements to his record. He has done a solid job stemming the economic crisis he inherited and a good job managing national security and initiating important reforms — from health care to auto mileage standards.

But with Europe in peril, China and America wobbling, the Arab world in turmoil, energy prices spiraling and the climate changing, we are facing some real storms ahead. We need to weatherproof our American house — and fast — in order to ensure that America remains a rock of stability for the world. To do that, we’ll have to make some big, hard decisions soon — and to do that successfully will require presidential leadership in the next four years of the highest caliber.

This election has to be about those hard choices, smart investments and shared sacrifices — how we set our economy on a clear-cut path of nearterm, job-growing improvements in infrastructure and education and on a long-term pathway to serious fiscal, tax and entitlement reform. The next president has to have a mandate to do all of this.

But, today, neither party is generating that mandate — talking seriously enough about the taxes that will have to be raised or the entitlement spending that will have to be cut to put us on sustainable footing, let alone offering an inspired vision of American renewal that might motivate such sacrifice.

That’s why I still believe that the national debate would benefit from the entrance of a substantial independent candidate — like the straight-talking, socially moderate and fiscally conservative Bloomberg — who could challenge, and maybe even improve, both major-party presidential candidates by speaking honestly about what is needed to restore the foundations of America’s global leadership before we implode.

Mitt Romney can’t do that because of his ludicrous opposition to any tax hikes. Obama, who has a plan to cut, tax and invest — albeit insufficiently — could lead, but, for now, he seems preoccupied with some rather uninspiring small ball, preferring proposals like “the Buffett tax” over comprehensive tax reform that would lower all rates, eliminate deductions and raise more revenue.

Sebastian Mallaby, a global economy expert, was right when he wrote in The Financial Times last week that the rich should pay higher taxes, but “a clever campaign gambit is a poor substitute for a serious proposal. By focusing his rhetoric on the Buffett tax, Obama is fumbling his best chance to win a mandate for intelligent reform — reform, moreover, that ought to be the centerpiece of a second term.”

Bloomberg doesn’t have to win to succeed — or even stay in the race to the very end. Simply by running, participating in the debates and doing respectably in the polls — 15 to 20 percent — he could change the dynamic of the election and, most importantly, the course of the next administration, no matter who heads it. By running on important issues and offering sensible programs for addressing them — and showing that he had the support of the growing number of Americans who describe themselves as independents — he would compel the two candidates to gravitate toward some of his positions as Election Day neared. And, by taking part in the televised debates, he could impose a dose of reality on the election that would otherwise be missing. Congress would have to take note.

Ken Lubas / Los Angeles Times / MCT

Former journalist Edward Humes won the Pulitzer Prize in 1989. He has written 11 nonfiction books, including “Garbology: Our Dirty Love Affair With Trash.”

Author enjoys digging through the rubbish Actually, I’m writing A: a very different story: the biography of Jess Jack-

By Jon Thurber Los Angeles Times

Edward Humes is a man of eclectic storytelling tastes.

A former journalist awarded a Pulitzer Prize in 1989 for a series of stories he wrote for the Orange County Register on the military establishment in Southern California, Humes has written 11 nonfiction books on subjects including how the GI Bill transformed the American Dream, Southern justice and the Dixie Mafia, and the juvenile justice system in Los Angeles County.

His latest book, “Garbology: Our Dirty Love Affair With Trash” (Avery: 278 pgs., $27) covers a subject that most of us take for granted: the world of garbage. We caught up with Humes and asked him about his writing process and the dirty business of trash.

How do you pick your Q : subjects? Why trash, why now?

The subjects vary, but A: there is a common thread: each has a strong narrative attached to it, and the possibility of immersing in a world apart.

Delving deep inside the Los Angeles juvenile court and exploring the secret life of trash were vastly different experiences, but each in their own way yielded fascinating, revealing, sometimes horrifying, other times uplifting characters and stories.

“Garbology” completes a trilogy of environmental books that began with the ecological heroes of “Eco Barons,” followed by the business sustainability revolution chronicled in “Force of Nature.”

During both projects, waste surfaced again and again as the core issue behind our toughest environmental, energy, climate and economic problems. It’s the biggest thing we make, and it’s connected to everything.

All you have to do is go to Puente Hills and stand atop the state’s biggest man-made structure, a mountain of garbage 500 feet tall, with a plateau at top that could swallow Dodger Stadium, parking lot and all, and you know there’s got to be a better way of dealing with our garbage.

What were the most surQ: prising things you found about trash in America or the world in writing the book?

America’s biggest export is trash — the scrap paper and metal we throw away. The Chinese buy it, make products out of it, sell

them back to us at enormous profit, and we turn it into trash again. America, the country that once made things for the world, is now China’s trash compactor.

The average American community spends more on waste management than fire protection, libraries, parks and recreation and textbooks.

Things are much worse than the official stats suggest.

The EPA, which publishes our annual “trash bible” of municipal waste statistics, uses an outdated method that vastly underestimates our waste and overestimates our recycling.

What can we learn Q: about ourselves from our trash?

If you could sit down A: with a year in the life of your waste bins dumped on your front lawn, you’d be shocked by the size of the mound: 1.3 tons, on average.

That’s 50 percent more waste than your Danish counterpart makes, and nearly three times as much as the average Japanese citizen.

Did your family’s buyQ: ing, consuming/trash habits change during the course of the book?

Absolutely. My family has tried to cut down on waste by refusing the trashiest stuff (plastic shopping bags, excessive packaging, non-recyclable products, disposables) and repurposing or recycling the rest. It’s a start. Bea Johnson of Mill Valley is one of the characters in “Garbology”; she chronicles her family’s efforts in her ZeroWasteHome blog (www.zerowastehome. blogspot.com). Their non-recyclable trash is down to one mason jar-full a year; their modified shopping habits have cut their household budget 40 percent.

Wiley Cash delivers a lyrical, poignant debut that melds crime fiction with Southern gothic for an emotional story about two brothers.

In the mode of John Hart, Tom Franklin and early Pat Conroy, “A Land More Kind Than Home” explores the power of forgiveness, the strength of family bonds and how religion can be misused to seduce and dominate.

Taking its title from Thomas Wolfe’s classic “You Can’t Go Home Again,” Cash’s novel draws its strength from believable characters and a realistic story. Three characters alternate narrating “A Land More Kind Than Home,” set in Marshall, “a little speck of a town” in western North Carolina: Jess Hall, a 9-yearold boy compassionately protective of his older autistic brother, Christopher; Adelaide Lyle, the town’s midwife; and Clem Barefield, the sheriff haunted by his own family tragedy.

The three are bonded not only by geography but by the evil that slyly yet forcefully slithers into the community.

Religion means a lot to Adelaide, who receives great comfort from her church. But

she can no longer abide the River Road Church of Christ in Signs Following since minister Carson Chambliss came. “Now-yellow newspapers” cover the windows so no one can see in. An overall “blackness … had taken over the church” in the form of the charismatic Carson. His fiery services advocate snake handling and ask people to drink poison to show their faith.

When an elderly woman’s death during a service is covered up by Carson and his minions, Adelaide insists that the children be taught at her home rather than be exposed to Carson. But the death of a mute child during a faithhealing service divides the church-goers as Barefield investigates, and the boy’s father demands justice — and violent revenge.

Cash skillfully illustrates the past’s influence on the present and how religion can be manipulated by an unscrupulous conman. At the same time, Cash respects religion and the solace it brings.

The distinct personality of each of the three narrators strongly shines. Each has a strong moral compass but none are judgmental or unforgiving, even when characters are guilty of the most vile actions.

“A Land More Kind Than Home” heralds a new talent at the beginning of what should be a promising career.

A vivid look at finance “Clawback”

by Mike Cooper (Viking, $26.95)

By Oline H. Cogdill

Johnson Continued from F1 “The Path to Power” is almost 900 pages long; “Master of the Senate” is close to 1,200, or nearly as long as the previous two combined.

If you try to read or reread them all in just a couple weeks, as I foolishly did not long ago, you find yourself reluctant to put them down but also worried that your eyeballs may fall out.

Sun Sentinel (Florida)

The long biography

Financial thrillers — once the least interesting category of mysteries — now flourish, thanks to vivid storytelling and an economic downturn that shows how high the stakes can be.

Mike Cooper’s fresh approach in “Clawback” mixes high-octane action with the details of banking and money management for a solid plot.

Silas Cade is a former black ops soldier who now works as a consultant, forcing sleazy investment managers to give back millions to managers who are a little less sleazy. Silas makes sure those former Masters of the Universe, as Tom Wolfe called them, are no longer on top of the world.

Silas has his own definition of clawback— “a term of art, referring to the mandatory return of compensation paid on a deal that later goes bad. Sometimes the claw is literal.”

Silas has just finished retrieving $10 million for a hedge fund manager when his client is murdered. But this may not be the first money manager killed. Wall Street mogul Quint Ganderson claims that several other managers — each with a history of losing money — have been murdered and he hires Silas to ferret out the assassin. Clara Dawson, a financial blogger looking for a big story, joins Silas’ investigation.

In the end, “Clawback’s” tense plot offers good payback.

The new book, an excerpt of which recently ran in The New Yorker, is 736 pages long and covers only about six years. It begins in 1958, with Johnson, so famously decisive and a man of action, dithering as he decides whether or not to run in the 1960 presidential election.

The book then describes his loss to Kennedy on the first ballot at the Democratic convention and takes him through the miserable, humiliating years of his vice presidency before devoting almost half its length to the 47 days between Kennedy’s assassination in November 1963 (Caro’s account, told from Johnson’s point of view, is the most riveting ever) and the State of the Union address the following January — a period during which Johnson seizes the reins of power and, in breathtakingly short order, sets in motion much of the Great Society legislation.

In other words, Caro’s pace has slowed so that he is now spending more time writing the years of Lyndon Johnson than Johnson spent living them, and he isn’t close to being done yet.

We have still to read about the election of 1964, the Bobby Baker and Walter Jenkins scandals, Vietnam and the decision not to run for a second term.

The Johnson whom most of us remember (and many of us marched in the streets against) — the stubborn, scowling Johnson, with the big jowls, the drooping elephant ears and the gallbladder scar — is only just coming into view.

Johnson, who all along predicted an early end for himself, died at 64. Caro is already 76, in excellent health after a scary bout with pancreatitis in 2004.

He says that the reason “The Passage of Power” took so long is that he was at the same time re-searching the rest of the story, and that he can wrap it all up, with reasonable dispatch, in just one more volume.

That’s what he said the last time, after finishing “Master of the Senate.” (He also thought he could finish “The Power Broker” in nine months or so. It took him seven years, during which he and his wife, Ina, went broke.)

Robert Gottlieb, who signed up Caro to do “The Years of Lyndon Johnson” when he was editor in chief of Knopf and has continued to edit all of Caro’s books, even after officially leaving the company (he also excerpted Volume 2 at The New Yorker when he was editor in chief there).

Not long ago, he said he told Caro: “Let’s look at this situation actuarially.

I’m now 80, and you are 75.

The actuarial odds are that if you take however many more years you’re going to take, I’m not going to be here.” Gottlieb added, “The truth is, Bob doesn’t really need me, but he thinks he does.”

‘Cloudland’ is a step forward for crime fiction “Cloudland”

by Joseph Olshan (Minotaur Books, $24.99)

By Oline H. Cogdill Sun Sentinel (Florida)

The effect of violence on small communities continues to be one of the most provocative themes for mystery fiction. Joseph Olshan expands that plot device for an in-depth character study of a woman who is emotionally stagnant because of her inability to forgive those she loves.

Olshan, best known for his non-genre fiction such as “The Conversation” and “Clara’s Heart,” makes a bold and quite effective foray into crime fiction in “Cloudland.” Using the hunt for a serial killer as his foundation, Olshan’s sturdy plot builds on his believable characters. Olshan’s greatest risk — and his most persuasive — is creating a lead character who is unlikable yet also intriguing enough to make readers want to delve into “Cloudland.”

While she calls a small Vermont town home, Catherine Winslow’s community is even more insular — the isolated Cloudland Road where only three families live. Catherine is pulled into the search for a serial killer after she finds the frozen body of a missing nurse during a walk in an orchard near her house. Catherine becomes the sounding board for her neighbor Anthony Waite, a forensic psychiatrist assisting the police in the investigation of the killer who has been striking in the upper valley region of Vermont and New Hampshire. “Cloudland” makes striking parallels between the methodical police investigation and the chaos that rules in the neighbors’ homes.

Although Catherine turns her back on people, Olshan’s empathetic shaping of this character makes her hard to forget. And the author also often lightens the tone of “Cloudland” with quite a few household tips that also move along the plot.

The good and the bad Robert Caro knows Johnson’s good side and his bad: how he became the youngest Senate majority leader in history and how, by whispering one thing in the ears of the Southern senators and another in Northern ears, he got the Civil Rights Act of 1957 through a Congress that had squelched every civil rights bill since 1875; how he fudged his war record and earned himself a medal by doing nothing more than taking a single plane ride; how, while vice president during the Cuban missile crisis, his hawkishness scared the daylights out of President Kennedy and his brother Robert.

Caro has learned about

Cecil Stoughton / The White House via The Associated Press

President Lyndon Johnson, with his wife Lady Bird at his side, tries to console Jacqueline Kennedy moments after he was administered the oath of office in the cabin of the presidential plane on Nov. 22, 1963.

Johnson’s rages, his ruthlessness, his lies, his bribes, his insecurities, his wheedling, his groveling, his bluster, his sycophancy, his charm, his kindness, his streak of compassion, his friends, his enemies, his girlfriends, his gofers and bagmen, his table manners, his drinking habits, even his nickname for his penis: not Johnson, but Jumbo.

This kind of knowledge does not come easily or cheaply. Caro has taken so long with Johnson that his agent, Lynn Nesbit, no longer remembers how many times she has renegotiated his contract; his publishing house has had two editors in chief, and no one there worries much about his deadlines any longer.

The books come along when they come along. “I’m not a charity case,” Caro pointed out to me last month when I remarked on how Knopf had stuck by him all these years.

It’s true that the Johnson volumes have been glowingly reviewed (“The Path to Power” and “Means of Ascent” both won the National Book Critics Circle Award and “Master of the Senate” won the Pulitzer Prize and the National Book Award) and that each of them has been a best-seller, but it’s also true that they turn up so infrequently that Caro can hardly be thought of as a brand name.

“Are the books profitable?”

Sonny Mehta, Knopf’s current head, who took over the Johnson project — enthusiastically — after Gottlieb’s departure in 1987, said last month. He paused for a moment. “They will be,” he answered finally, “because there is nothing like them.”

Gottlieb is more philosophical. “So what if at the end of 45 years it turns out we lost money by one kind of accounting?” he said. “Think of what he has given us, what he has added.

How do you weigh that?”

‘What I want to do’ The two Bobs, Gottlieb and Caro, have an odd editorial relationship, almost as contentious as it is mutually admiring. They still debate, for example, or pretend to, how many words Gottlieb cut from “The Power Broker.”

It was 350,000 — or the equivalent of two or three fullsize books — and Caro still regrets nearly every one. “There were things cut out of ‘The Power Broker’ that should not have been cut out,” he said to me sadly one day, showing me his personal copy of the book, dog-eared and broken-backed, filled with underlining and corrections written in between the lines. Caro is a little like Balzac, who kept fussing over his books even after they were published.

Gottlieb and Caro also have slightly different accounts of how the Johnson project came about in the first place.

Caro’s original contract called for him to write a biography of Fiorello LaGuardia, the former New York City mayor, after finishing Moses.

Gottlieb says that in 1974, when Caro came in to talk about that project, he told him: “It’s a mistake. There were two gods in my house in the ’30s and ’40s: FDR and LaGuardia.

But LaGuardia is a dead end, an anomaly. He doesn’t come from anything, and nothing followed from him. I think you should write about Lyndon Johnson.”

Turning to me and shaking his head he added: “You have to understand, I knew nothing about Lyndon Johnson and didn’t care about Lyndon Johnson, and it never crossed my mind until that moment that was what Bob should do.

It was one of the inexplicable great moments because it came out of nowhere.”

Caro says that he had already made up his mind that Johnson, who had only recently died, should be his next subject, partly because he didn’t want to write about New York again, but he listened quietly to Gottlieb.

“I always felt that I increased my advance by a substantial amount by just sitting there not saying ‘That’s what I want to do,’ ” he told me.

Gottlieb and Caro argue about length, but they also argue about prose, even about punctuation.

“You know that insane old expression, ‘The quality of his defect is the defect of his quality,’ or something like that?”

Gottlieb asked me. “That’s really true of Bob. What makes him such a genius of research and reliability is that everything is of exactly the same importance to him. The smallest thing is as consequential as the biggest. A semicolon matters as much as, I don’t know, whether Johnson was gay. But unfortunately, when it comes to English, I have those tendencies, too, and we could go to war over a semicolon.

That’s as important to me as who voted for what law.”

Their worst battle was over the second Johnson volume, “Means of Ascent,” which is largely about the stolen Senate election of 1948. Gottlieb encouraged Caro to tell this story at length because he was fascinated by the details of local politics, but he objected, as some reviewers did, to Caro’s characterization of Johnson’s opponent in that election, Coke Stevenson, a former Texas governor, who is painted in almost heroic terms. “We went mano a mano, chin to chin, nose to nose, I so disapproved of his idealization of Coke Stevenson,” Gottlieb said. “We just about killed each other.”

The editing of the most recent book went much more smoothly, Gottlieb said, explaining: “We both behaved better, and we really had a terrific time — maybe the first time we actually enjoyed the process. He could say, ‘I know you don’t want all this,’ and I could say, ‘How interesting that you know that!’ I think we have evolved, to the extent that we’re evolvable.”

He laughed and added: “How do these things happen?

You just start in the belief that it’s all worth it, and before you know it, it’s 500 years later and you’re doing the notes on the 43rd volume.”

“There was never a plan,” Caro said to me, explaining how he had become a historian and biographer. “There was just a series of mistakes.”

Early writer Caro was born in October 1935 and grew up on Central Park West at 94th Street. His father, a businessman, spoke Yiddish as well as English, but he didn’t speak either very often. He was “very silent,” Caro said, and became more so after Caro’s mother died, after a long illness, when he was 12.

“It was an unusual household in that I didn’t want to be there too much,” he said, adding that though he is fond of his younger sibling, Michael, now a retired real estate manager, they don’t have the kind of relationship that most brothers

do. Caro spent as much time as he could at the Horace Mann School (it was his mother’s deathbed wish that he should go there) or else on a bench in Central Park with a book.

He was always writing, and even then he wrote long. His sixth-grade essays dwarfed everyone else’s. His senior thesis at Princeton — on existentialism in Hemingway — was so long, he was told, that the college’s English department subsequently instituted a rule limiting the number of pages a senior could turn in.

Caro said he now thinks that Princeton, which he chose because of its parties, was one of his mistakes, and that he should have gone to Harvard.

Princeton in the mid-’50s was hardly known for being hospitable toward Jews, and though Caro says he did not personally suffer from anti-Semitism, he saw plenty of students who did. “The way I thought of it, I wasn’t at Princeton,” he said. “I was at the newspaper and the literary magazine.”

He had a sports column, “Ivy Inklings,” at The Daily Princetonian, where he eventually became managing editor. (The top editor, until he flunked out, was R. W. Apple Jr., later to become a legendary New York Times reporter.) He also wrote short stories, or rather, not so short ones. One of them, about a boy who gets his girlfriend pregnant, took up almost an entire issue of The Princeton Tiger, a humor and literary magazine.

It was also at Princeton that Caro met his wife, Ina, who would also become the only assistant and researcher he has ever trusted. She was 16 at the time, a high-school student from nearby Trenton, doubledating at a Hillel mixer. She spotted Caro, very good-looking to judge from photographs taken around that time, across the room and announced to her best friend, “That’s the boy I’m going to marry.” Three years later, she did, dropping out of college against her parents’ wishes, and though she went on to finish her degree, get another one (in medieval European history) and write a couple of books of her own, she has to an extent remarkable by today’s standards devoted her life to his. At the lowest point during the writing of ”The Power Broker,” when Caro had run out of money and was close to despair about being able to finish, she sold their house in suburban Long Island, moved the family (the Caros have a son, Chase, who is now in the information-technology business) to an apartment in the Bronx and took a job teaching school to keep him going.

“That was a bad time, a very bad time,” Caro recalled.

“I always felt that the most important thing was for Bob to be able to write,” Ina said.

“Things like houses and money never meant much to me. I think they meant more to our dog,” she told me one morning in their big Upper West Side apartment, adding: “But I never thought this would be all he’d write about. I’ve always wanted him to finish a novel.”

Even now, she went on, it’s hard for her to accept that Johnson will probably turn out to be the great work of their lives together. “You never think about dying,” she said.

“You always think there’s going to be time.”

In order to marry, Caro needed a job. The Times offered him one as a copyboy for a salary that he now recalls as “something like $37.50 a week.”

The New Brunswick Daily Home News and Sunday Times offered him $52 a week to be a reporter, and Caro took it. Another mistake, except that it led to an early lesson in power politics.

The paper’s chief political writer was on leave to work for the Democratic Party in Middlesex County during an election. When he became ill, Caro took his place. He wrote speeches and did public relations for one of the party bosses.

Uncovering secrets

From previous page On Election Day he rode around with this man to the polling places, and at one point they came upon the police loading some black people into a patrol wagon.

“One of the cops explained that the black poll watchers had been giving them some trouble, but they had it under control,” Caro recalled. “I still think about it. It wasn’t the roughness of the police that made such an impression. It was the — meekness isn’t the right word — the acceptance of those people of what was happening. I just wanted to get out of that car, and as soon as he stopped, I did. He never called me again. He must have known how I felt.”

the vicious negative campaign Johnson waged against Coke Stevenson. But then a volume later, describing Johnson’s championing of civil rights legislation, he seems to warm to his subject all over again.

In many ways, Caro’s notion of character is a romantic, idealistic one, and what fuels the books is disappointment and right-eousness, almost like that of a lover betrayed.

If there’s a downside to his method, it’s that anyone’s life, even yours or mine, described in Caro-esque detail, could take on epic, romantic proportions. The difference is that our lives would be epics of what it’s like not to have power, but the language would probably be the same.

Author and biographer Robert Caro is an obsessive researcher, spending nearly four decades on the life of Lyndon Johnson.

His newest in the groundbreaking series, “The Passage of Power,” will be published next month.

a word except in newspapers.

Moreover, he was broke, hardly in a position to turn his back on the biggest payday of his life so far, but alone among New Yorker contributors at the time, he dared to become a Bartleby and turn his powerlessness into a point of principle.

Caro now says that Shawn agreed to restore all the changes he cared most deeply about, but the magazine version nevertheless differs from the original and changes Caro’s punctuation and paragraphing.

The New Yorker series is a very readable redaction of the original — and without sacrificing much essential information, easier on the attention span than the book, which requires an immense time commitment — but for better or worse, it’s not as full-throated as the original.

Whitworth, undaunted, excerpted the first volume of the Johnson biography in The Atlantic after he became editor there in 1980.

Researching and rewriting It’s not writing that takes Caro so long but, rather, rewriting. In college he was such a quick and facile writer, and so speedy a typist, that one of his teachers, the critic R.P. Blackmur, once told him that he would never achieve anything until he learned to “stop thinking with his fingers,” and Caro actually tries to slow himself down these days.

He doesn’t start typing — on an old Smith Corona Electra 210, not a computer — until he has finished four or five handwritten drafts. And then he rewrites the typescript. When I visited him one day in early December, he was correcting the page proofs of “The Passage of Power” the way Proust used to correct proofs: scratching out, writing in between the lines, pasting in additional sheets of inserts.

Caro is an equally obsessive researcher. Gottlieb likes to point to a passage fairly early in “The Power Broker” describing Moses’ parents one morning in their lodge at Camp Madison, a fresh-air charity they established for poor city kids, picking up The Times and reading that their son had been fined $22,000 for improprieties in a land takeover. “Oh, he never earned a dollar in his life, and now we’ll have to pay this,” Bella Moses says.

“How do you know that?”

Gottlieb asked Caro. Caro explained that he tried to talk to all of the social workers who had worked at Camp Madison, and in the process he found one who had delivered the Moseses’ paper. “It was as if I had asked him, ‘How do you know it’s raining out?’” Gottlieb told me, and he added: “When ‘The Power Broker’ came out, other writers were amazed. No one had ever seen anything like it.

It was a monument not to industry, because lots of people have industry, but to something else. I don’t even know what to call it.”

He has spent literally several

years at the Johnson Library, in Austin, Tex., painstakingly going through the red buckram boxes that contain Johnson’s papers, and he has been the first researcher to open some of the most revealing files there.

“Over and over again, I’ve found crucial things that nobody knew about,” he said.

“There’s always original stuff if you look hard enough.” He added that he tried to keep in mind something that his managing editor at Newsday, Alan Hathway, a crusty old newspaper-man once told him, after pointing out that Caro was the only Ivy Leaguer who ever amounted to anything: “Turn every goddamn page.”

Caro thought that the 1948 Senate election would take up a single chapter or so in his Senate volume. Instead, it takes up most of a book of its own, what is now Volume 2.

Johnson advocates used to say that “no one will ever know” whether that election was stolen. Caro knows, because he uncovered a handwritten memoir by Luis Salas, an election boss and party henchman, giving the details of how he falsified the records.

The Senate book, Volume 3, begins with a 100-page history of the Senate, starting with Calhoun and Webster, because Caro felt that to understand the Senate you needed to see it in its great period. It includes minibiographies of Hubert Humphrey and Richard Russell Jr., the longtime Senate leader of the South, and ends with a detailed, almost vote-by-vote account of the passage of the Civil Rights Act of 1957.

The installments keep ballooning, in other words, developing subplots and storieswithin-the-story, in a way that reflects Caro’s own process of discovery. He is looking ahead to Volume 5 and to Vietnam, which is foreshadowed in the new book by Johnson’s hawkish impatience during the Cuban missile crisis.

One day, when I was visiting, he pulled out a thick file of notes he had written, including transcripts, about the weekly Tuesday cabinet meetings Johnson had with Dean Rusk, Robert McNamara, Earle Wheeler and Walt Rostow, at which the question of whether to escalate was frequently discussed. “Look at this stuff,” Caro said to me. “It’s unbelievable!”

Mixed feelings Caro now finds Johnson more fascinating than ever, he told me, and added: “It’s not a question of liking or disliking him. I’m trying to explain how political power worked in America in the second half of the 20th century, and here’s a guy who understood power and used it in a way that no one ever had. In the getting of that power he’s ruthless — ruthless to a degree that surprised even me, who thought he knew something about ruthlessness.

But he also means it when he

says that all his life he wanted to help poor people and people of color, and you see him using the ruthlessness, the savagery for wonderful ends. Does his character ever change? No. Are my feelings about Johnson mixed?

They’ve always been mixed.”

On a corkboard covering the wall beside Caro’s desk, he keeps an outline, pinned up on legal-size sheets, of “The Years of Lyndon Johnson.” It’s not a classic outline, with indentations and numbered headings and subheadings, but a maze of sentences and paragraphs and notes to himself.

These days, part of the top row is gone: the empty spaces are where the pages mapping the new book used to be. But there are several rows left to go, and 13 additional pages that won’t fit on the wall until yet more come down. Somewhere on those sheets, already written, is the very last line of “The Years of Lyndon Johnson,” whatever volume that turns out to be. I begged him more than once, but Caro wouldn’t tell me what that line says.

Caro has no shortage of plans for what to do next, after he finishes with Johnson, and he has already picked out a topic, though he won’t reveal what it is.

He also told me he could imagine writing a biography of Al Smith, the New York governor and 1928 presidential candidate.

But it’s also possible that at some level he doesn’t really want to be done — that without entirely intending to, he’s eking Johnson out — because whenever a biographer finishes, burying his subject, he dies a little death, too. Caro is a great student of Gibbon, and he must be familiar with what Gibbon wrote in his house at Lausanne, Switzerland, in 1787, after completing his “Decline and Fall of the Roman Empire”: “I will not dissemble the first emotions of joy on the recovery of my freedom, and perhaps the establishment of my fame. But my pride was soon humbled, and a sober melancholy was spread over my mind by the idea that I had taken an everlasting leave of an old and agreeable companion, and that, whatsoever might be the future fate of my history, the life of the historian must be short and precarious.”

Oregon cattle drives record agriculture sales

Bend’s Carrera to motor into Medford • Dealership brings cars, service to its southern Oregon customers

By Jordan Novet The Bulletin

Carrera Motors of Bend is expanding beyond its longtime market of Central Oregon and into Southern Oregon.

On May 1, the dealer of Audis, BMWs, Porsches and Volkswagens will open a used-car dealership and service and rental operation along the Crater Lake Highway in north Medford, near other dealerships.

To house its new Medford facility, Carrera is remodeling an existing 30,000-squarefoot building on a 4-acre lot.

“It has plenty of pavement,” said John Younger, general manager of the Medford dealership. “That’s one of the reasons we decided to be there.”

More importantly, Carrera has sold plenty of cars to people from Southern Oregon, but those customers don’t necessarily have a consistent service partner in Jackson and Josephine counties.

“A lot of the customers like to buy here from Carrera Motors, but they wish they had a service option there in Medford,” Younger said. “That was the main reason for looking into the move. The more we looked, the more we realized we could do more on the sales end, too.

Central Oregon Livestock Auction owner Trent Stewart, surveying cattle in 2009, has seen an increased demand for cattle, which was Oregon’s top-selling commodity last year, according to estimates.

• State gross agriculture sales in the billions are a bumper crop for Oregon, counties

By Jordan Novet The Bulletin

T

hroughout Oregon, agriculture sales have made more than a resurgence in the past two years. Last year, according to new estimates, the state’s gross agriculture sales set a new record: $5.9 billion.

The growth wasn’t limited to the top producers, such as nursery crop-heavy Marion County and wheat-rich Umatilla County.

Central Oregon’s three counties also have seen sales jump. Crook and Jefferson counties had record sales last year, and Deschutes County’s grew, too, with cattle driving much of the increase throughout the region.

Across the state, the numbers bode well for Oregon farmers and ranchers, who in 2009 saw the lowest gross sales numbers since 1966. Estimates for 2011 included commercial fishing sales for the first time, but even without them, last year’s sales would have set a record, according to the Oregon State University Extension Service.

A number of factors could explain the growth, including the ballooning price of feeder-cattle futures, drought conditions in other states and even foreign exchange rates.

Still, even though sales made records, not all agriculture workers enjoyed greater profits.

“You won’t find many Oregon industries that can say they grew by 19 percent last year,” Katy Coba, director of the Oregon Department of Agriculture, said earlier this month in a news release.

While Central Oregon’s economy has diversified over the years, the region continues to host plenty of farming and ranching activity.

According to Oregon Employment Department estimates, an average of 1,800 people worked in agriculture in Central Oregon last year. That’s almost 1 percent of the region’s population as of 2010, according to U.S. Census data.

And this year, some industry employees and analysts are happy with the latest results,

at least in this part of the state.

“I’m astonished at the levels that we’re selling beef at,” said Trent Stewart, who owns Central Oregon Livestock Auction Inc. in Madras.

At the same time, even though sales numbers are high, ranchers aren’t making more money, as fuel and fertilizer prices and other costs become more expensive, said Tim Deboodt, staff chairman of the Oregon State University Extension Service office in Prineville.

‘NEW FACTORY YORK’

• Harley-Davidson aims for efficiency at expense of jobs Milwaukee Journal Sentinel

YORK, Pa. — For a look at what’s to come for Harley-Davidson Inc., the best place to start is the company’s largest motorcycle factory, where change has been described as “leaning into a hurricane.”

Where 41 buildings once stood on 232 acres, there’s now an enormous vacant lot.

Gone are about half of the 2,300 jobs that, for decades, supported families in this blue-collar town.

BOARDMAN — A new link in the world’s future energy supply could soon be built here on the Columbia River, and it would have nothing to do with the vast acres of wind turbines or the mammoth hydroelectric dams that give this region’s power sources one of the cleanest carbon footprints in the nation.

Instead, Boardman is pursuing one of the oldest and dirtiest of fossil fuels: coal. The question is not whether to use it to produce new energy but whether to make what some say would be tainted new profits.

Even as coal-fired power plants are being phased out in Oregon and Washington, Boardman, an agribusiness outpost across the river from vineyards owned by the Columbia Crest winery and where the Department of Energy recently awarded $25 million to an innovative biofuel producer, is among at least half a dozen ports in the region weighing whether to ship millions of tons of coal to Asia from the Powder River Basin of Wyoming and Montana.

If all of the projects were built, as much as 150 million tons of coal per year could be exported from the Northwest, nearly 50 percent more than the nation’s entire coal export output last year.

There’s no going back to what this factory used to represent,” said York General Manager Ed Magee, who once managed the now-closed Capitol Drive plant in Milwaukee.

York’s new factory, housed in one building, is much smaller than the old sprawling campus patched together over decades. But this year it will assemble more bikes than were built in the old system two years ago.

By Nicole Laporte New York Times News Service

LOS ANGELES — Twentyfive or so years ago, Wendy Haldeman, a nurse and lactation consultant, was standing in a Toys R Us parking lot when a female acquaintance ran up, yanked up her own shirt and cried out, in reference to one of her exposed breasts: “What is this on my nipple?�

Of such strange encounters, business plans are born.

Today, Haldeman and her business partner, Corky Harvey, are the founders and coowners of the Pump Station and Nurtury, a breast-feeding resource center and baby boutique in Santa Monica, Calif.

Their service has managed to survive in an industry that has become dominated by megastores like Target and Babies R Us and online retailers like Diapers.com.

Besides the ease of online shopping, Diapers.com offers 24-hour delivery at no shipping cost. And Target has started carrying more specialized baby care items like breast pumps and nursing bras — products that had long been the purview of stores like the Pump Station.

But the Pump Station survives by offering a service that is not in danger of being coopted by giants anytime soon: assistance and education for nursing mothers. Other businesses around the country with a similar theme include the Upper Breast Side in Manhattan, DayOne in the San Francisco area and Isis Parenting in the Boston area.

Haldeman leads a monthly breast-feeding class that is consistently sold out; she packs 30 breast-feeding consultations into her five-day workweek. Harvey, who teaches a baby care class, has a similar schedule.

Over the past decade, as baby products have ballooned into a $9.8 billion industry, stores like the Pump Station have become more than just resource centers for nursing mothers. With an avalanche of baby care items on the market — how to decide between the Binky Most Like Mother Latex Pacifier and an Ortho-Pro Pacifier? — many parents are bewildered. And the Internet itself can be cluttered with conflicting information on sleep training and other baby care methods.

When mothers turn to the Pump Station, they are often seeking a path through the chaos, along with products approved by a trusted source. “When someone is sitting here going, ‘Oh my God, there are 20,000 bottles out there,’ we can tell them, ‘But this bottle is going to be fabulous and will allow Dad to feed the baby and you to go back to work,’� said Cheryl Petran, the Pump Station’s chief operating officer and a former buyer for Target and Montgomery Ward.

A shopper at the Pump Station and Nurtury, a breast-feeding resource center and baby shop, in Santa Monica, Calif. The small but growing niche of the baby-care industry offers not only the latest products, but also education and camaraderie.

Wendy Haldeman, a nurse and lactation consultant, teaches a breast-feeding class at the Pump Station and Nurtury.

“If you’re coming here instead of going to a pharmacy or going online, you’re coming because you want an opinion.� — Felina Rakowski-Gallagher, owner of Upper Breast Side in Manhattan

she said, “you’re coming because you want an opinion.�

The Pump Station has commodified its owners’ tastes into a list of “Corky and Wendy’s Top 25 Recommended Baby Care Products.� The items, including the Skip Hop diaper bag and the Munchkin Fresh Food Feeder — can be bought in the store or on the website. “We do the research; we check it out,� Haldeman says. “Is this a good product? Is it safe? Is it ethical? Is it good for moms and babies? And then we’ll bring it in.�

Customers are willing to pay more for this Good Housekeeping-like stamp of approval, Petran says. “Pricing isn’t much of an issue� at the Pump Station, she says, even though many items can be found for less on sites like Amazon.com.

The store offers a community environment of moms interacting with other moms.

(On any day, there may be a stroller jam of women in commiseration as they browse for organic swaddling blankets.)

Such an environment has

helped the Pump Station expand locally in a shifting economy. A branch opened recently in Westlake Village; there is also a location in Hollywood. “Hundreds of years ago, you sat by the campfire and talked about breast-feeding. You had that support, that community,�

Petran says. “You just don’t have that anymore. So moms come here, and it is the proverbial campfire, where you can talk and share. ‘Am I doing this right? Am I not doing this right?’ That’s a part you’re not going to get sitting in an aisle at Target.�

An increase in breast-feeding rates has also helped business. According to the most recent information available from the federal Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, 75 percent of babies in the United States were breastfed at birth in 2008, compared with 70 percent in 2000. Nursing is particularly popular with the Pump Station’s biggest demographic: white, college-educated women older than 30.

Demand was even high in 1986, when Haldeman and Harvey began renting breast pumps out of their houses and consulting with new mothers about how to breast-feed.

When their husbands became tired of panicked women knocking on their doors at 2 a.m. with nursing questions, they moved to a 200-squarefoot office. “We had 50 breast pumps to

rent,� Haldeman said. “We were open part time; we had a part-time secretary.

And in three years, we were renting 1,000 pumps� at a time. As the business grew, “Moms said, ‘Wouldn’t it be great if you had nursing bras?’� Haldeman recalls. “So we said, ‘OK.’ We started bringing in nursing bras.

Then they said, ‘Wouldn’t it be great if you had some baby clothes?’ “As women made requests, we kept trying to meet their needs. That’s what we’ve always done, to this day.�

And what about the woman in the parking lot from all those years ago?

Haldeman says she politely suggested that they go sit in the woman’s car so she could examine her. “My daughters were with me,� Haldeman said, laughing. “They were just horrified.�

GREEN ISLAND — At Ecovative Designs, business is mushrooming. Literally.

The 5-year-old company, which developed an environmentally friendly technique that uses mushroom fungus to make insulation and packaging material, is growing into larger manufacturing facilities off Cohoes Avenue.

On Thursday, company founder Eban Bayer was given an award by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency for a natural product that he hopes one day will replace much of the fossil-fuel plastics used by industry.

The biodegradable material is already used in packaging by such companies as Dell Computers, Crate and Barrel and footwear maker Puma, which is also working with the company to develop a biodegradable shoe soles and flip-flops.

Under a partnership with Fortune 500 company Sealed Air, privately-held Evocative soon will announce details of a plan to build a plant under license “somewhere in the Southwest,� said Bayer. “That is all I can say for now.�

The company had about 20 workers a year ago, and now has 42. It outgrew its original 9,000-square-foot manufacturing plant and two months ago expanded into another 25,000 square feet that will allow production to increase by a factor of ten, said Bayer. “Our revenues are now in the millions, and are growing faster than our staffing. We are where plastics were 50 years ago,� he said, producing a piece of mushroom-based material from this pocket that he said is being tested for use in wind turbine blades.

The relative strength of the material depends on the type of mushroom used to grow it, he said.

And the company will continue to look for ways that mushrooms can replace plastics. “We only have about 1.7 billion years of mushroom evolution still to explore,� said company mycologist Sue Van Hook. “This is the coolest idea that I have ever seen,� said EPA Commissioner Judith Enck, as she presented Bayer with an EPA Environmental Quality Award for the company’s packaging product, called EcoCradle. “This is amazing, pioneering work.�

She said that as a young environmental activist, more than two decades ago, she was part of a campaign to convince McDonald’s to end the use of polystyrene plastic foam containers for its burgers. Polystyrene is a possible human carcinogen that remains in widespread use, said Enck, and most of it winds up with landfills, where it does not break down.

In contrast, the biodegradable packing material can be chopped up by consumers and spread over gardens as a compost. Made of a mix of agricultural wastes like corn stalks and mixed with a slurry of mushroom fungus, the material is placed into molds, where the fungus consumes the plant wastes. The material is air dried and later baked, using green hydropower from the Green Island Power Authority.

Ready for use in less than a week, the material will decompose in about 90 days in a compost pile, Bayer said.

Bayer said the company is encouraging new ways to the use material. It has provided several hundred “do-it-yourself� kits through its website that people have used to “growing their own products, like bike helmets or doll furniture,� he said.

Harley Continued from G1 York is a model of efficiency that Harley wants to replicate at all of its factories, including Menomonee Falls, Wis., and Tomahawk, Wis., where the new manufacturing system will eliminate several hundred jobs but will lower costs and make the plants more responsive to changes in the motorcycle marketplace.

The York transformation is the most tangible manifestation so far of Chief Executive Officer Keith Wandell’s strategy for putting Milwaukeebased Harley-Davidson on a path to sustained profitability.

Hired from Johnson Controls Inc. in 2009, Wandell has said that over time, Harley management gave away the keys to the company, leading to runaway costs and York’s patchwork 41-building campus.

Naomi Weaver fits a seat on a motorcycle at a Harley-Davidson plant in York, Pa., in 2005. The site implemented a new manufacturing system that turned their 41-building campus into a ghost town, saving the company dollars but also eliminated half of the workforce.

In Milwaukee The “New Factory York” is now about two years ahead of the Wisconsin plants in implementing Harley’s new manufacturing system. Changes are coming to Wisconsin this spring with labor contracts that went into effect April 1, giving the company more flexibility with the workforce.

The Milwaukee contracts — similar to York’s — include higher health care contributions from workers and a seven-year wage freeze, although there is the possibility of pay raises. They also call for the use of seasonal, or “casual,” employees who are not entitled to medical or retirement benefits and receive less pay for the same work done by regular employees.

Casual employees in Milwaukee, while still unionized, are paid about $16.80 to $26 per hour, depending on their job description. Pay for fulltime workers ranges from about $30.50 to $38 per hour; workers recalled from layoff sometimes come back at a second-tier, lower wage.

Currently, all union employees are paid at or above their wage scale, according to Harley, which says the jobs are among the best-paying positions in manufacturing in York and Milwaukee.

Agriculture Continued from G1 Deboodt’s understanding of local ranching finances jibes with Crook County rancher Dale Landrus’ experience.

“All of our input costs are escalated so much that there’s just not any more left than when cattle were cheap,” said Landrus, who raises cows, calves and other animals on 320 acres in Powell Butte.

Of Oregon’s 36 counties, 24 posted gross sales increases in 2010 and in 2011.

In Central Oregon, Crook County led the way in sales growth between 2009 and 2011, with a 59 percent jump, up to $46.2 million. Of that total, about $24.4 million — more than half — came from cattle.

Statewide, on average, cattle made up 15 percent of total gross agriculture sales, besting all other crops and animal products, including grain, hay and nuts.

It’s not much of a surprise for Oregon ranchers, who have seen cattle come in as the best-selling commodity almost every year for the past 35 years.

The rise in beef prices nationally and feeder-cattle futures in commodity markets probably had some effect.

“I do know that beef prices are the best they’ve been in a long time,” said Bart Eleveld, Oregon State University Extension Service economist. “In

Carrera Continued from G1 Carrera’s expansion into Medford marks its first additional facility in its 30 years of existence.

In choosing Medford, Carrera is joining a city with a considerable car-sales industry. Lithia Motors — the nation’s ninth-largest dealership group, according to the trade publication Automotive News — has its headquarters in Medford.

Younger said Carrera wants to capitalize on Lithia’s efforts to direct car shoppers to the Crater Lake Highway, by way

The York factory now has about 270 casual employees supplementing the reduced full-time workforce.

“We get to be the poster child for change,” Magee said.

“I didn’t want my resume to say I impacted 1,000 families.

That is tough to go home with.

But this factory now has a future, along with the rest of its suppliers, and it didn’t have that before.”

The changes are especially evident because of the demolished buildings where Harley once made motorcycle parts that now are outsourced to other companies. But they’re also dramatic inside the newer 650,000-square-foot factory that was formerly used just to assemble Harley’s Softail motorcycles.

Where partially assembled bikes once crawled along a conveyor belt with overhead hooks, and parts were stacked to the ceiling, there’s now a production line with more than 100 robotic smart carts traveling on five rows of thin magnetic tape.

The factory’s 62 job classifications have been slashed to five, and the number of salaried positions has been cut in half to 150 people.

Blue-collar employees now work in teams of six to 14

a given number of cattle, you can get a huge jump in sales just due to prices.”

Indeed, the price of cattle per head has been on the uptick in Central Oregon counties and statewide at least since 2009.

For example, in Crook County, the price per head grew nearly 72 percent from 2009 to 2011, according to the extension data, increasing from $210.30 to $361.64.

The cost increased about 62 percent in Deschutes County, to $410, and the average cost per head around the state grew around 30 percent, to $452.81.

Those numbers sounded low to Stewart, the auction owner. The steer cattle he has been selling in the past few years weigh at least 500 pounds each and average $1.25 a pound. The cost, then, might exceed $625 per head.

It’s difficult to determine to what degree cattle prices are affecting cattle sales, because the state’s cattle category com-

of Lithia advertisements.

At its new facility, Carrera will sell used cars from European manufacturers, including Jaguars, Range Rovers and Ferraris, on top of the German brands it sells new in Bend.

“We’re going to sell a lot of late-model stuff that’s not necessarily new, but close to new,” said Younger, who was general manager of Bend’s Smolich Motors for a decade before joining Carrera.

While Carrera’s business in Medford will primarily be retail in nature, it still sounds good to local economic-development officials.

people and have more responsibility for making their own decisions. One team, led by an hourly wage worker, implemented 124 changes that saved the company $100,000 a year and made the work area safer.

“All of those ideas were there before. We just did not have a mechanism to capture and implement them,” Magee said.

‘Bittersweet’ The team leader, 17-year employee Kim Avila, eliminated her own job as a result of the changes.

“It was very bittersweet, but it had to be done,” Avila said.

She was given a leadership position in another area of the plant and is making changes there.

Teams have to look at the business aspect of their decisions rather than the personal aspect, Avila said.

“Sometimes that gets very hard. But decisions affect everybody corporate-wide,” she said.

The first few months of the York transformation were filled with angst as people lost their jobs, casual employees were brought in, and the plant scrapped old ways of doing things.

“I called it ‘leaning into the

prises beef cows, bulls, calves and other animals, Eleveld said.

In any case, Stewart said demand is high primarily because the dollar has been weak, compared with other currencies, and exports are way up.

“They can buy the very best meat in the world right here,” Stewart said. “… They can buy it for 50 cents on the dollar.

That’s probably the biggest demand factor.”

In Crook and Deschutes counties, 37 percent of revenues resulted from the sale of alfalfa hay and other hay last year.

Demand and prices for hay in Central and Eastern Oregon spiked last year, partly because of crop damage in the southwestern United States, according to The Bulletin’s archives.

The extension data show $11.7 million in gross sales from alfalfa hay alone in Crook County last year, up from $7.7 million two years earlier.

Jefferson County farmers appear to have taken a different tack in 2011, as they often have, with vegetable and garden seed at the top of its sales list. Of its total sales — $70.6 million — 20 percent involved vegetable and garden seed.

Wheat also took a fifth of sales in Jefferson County.

The new Carrera location will have between 12 and 15 employees.

“They are, by their nature, very skilled jobs,” said Ron Fox, executive director of Medford-based Southern Oregon Regional Economic Development Inc. “There’s a reason I don’t lift the hood of my car.”

What’s more, the opening of the Carrera dealership will translate to a roughly $500,000 investment and bring service for Audis and other cars, which currently isn’t available in the area, Fox said.

hurricane,’” said Magee, who spent 15 years in the U.S. Marine Corps, leaving as a lieutenant colonel before getting a master’s degree in business from Duke University and coming to Harley-Davidson in 2004.

Harley shut down the old York operations, razed the buildings, opened the new factory, and made motorcycles at the same time — all in about a two-year period starting in 2009.

Employees were building bikes while construction was going on around them.

“We were about five feet ahead of the runaway train,” Magee said.

The thousands of changes are centered on advanced manufacturing methods used at Toyota Motor Co., Caterpillar Inc., and other companies held in high regard for their quality and efficiencies.

Harley’s bikes are now designed with the assembly process in mind so that different models can be built on the same line. Changes in York will be replicated in Menomonee Falls and Tomahawk — although they won’t involve building demolition.

The company wants one system for all of its plants, where production can quickly

be ramped up or throttled back as needed. Altogether, it expects to save hundreds of millions of dollars as a result of the changes.

Harley tried making changes before, in fits and starts, but nothing lasted.

“People said it was just another ‘flavor of the day.’

But we had to get it right this time because it was getting replicated through our entire system,” Magee said. “This is not just a York story. It’s about all of Harley-Davidson’s manufacturing.”

The company was prepared to close its factories in York, Menomonee Falls and Tomahawk if the labor unions had not agreed to contract concessions that resulted in job losses, the wage freeze and reduced benefits. It was ready to build a new factory in Kentucky if the York workforce had not agreed to a seven-year deal that saved 1,000 jobs but cut just as many.

Without pressure, you don’t get change, Magee said.

Is it better?

The York plant was once known as the “angry factory” because people were ticked off about the labor contract and the loss of jobs. There was a strike in 2007, and two years later employees grudgingly accepted concessions to save the plant.

Not everyone agrees the transformation has resulted in a better workplace, including some union members and union leadership in York, Menomonee Falls and Tomahawk.

They say the company has taken a “cookie cutter” approach to manufacturing, and that hourly paid workers are empowered to make changes only when it’s convenient for management.

“I think the partnership days are gone,” said Scott Parr, an assistant district director for the International Association of Machinists and Aerospace Workers in Milwaukee. “I can’t see it helping the company’s efficiency and productivity when morale is going to be down the toilet.”

Some workers say they miss

the old days when there was a sense of rugged individualism in the plants and the company cared more about keeping people employed in tough times.

“This whole company used to be family. It’s not that way anymore,” said Brian Zarilla, a 23-year York employee.

Some say they remain worried about losing their jobs before they can retire in a few years.

“The biggest problem is the fear,” said Tom Santone, directing business representative for the International Association of Machinists and Aerospace Workers in York. “It’s hard to go to work, being afraid to say anything to management, because they’re going to come after you.”

Some employees even say they’re afraid to report injuries because they could get reprimanded or fired.

And small things bug them — such as the reading of the company vision statement, aloud, at meetings. It’s just too corporate for their way of thinking.

“The feeling of pride is gone.

The men and women who work in that plant now, for the most part, can’t wait until they get the hell out of there. They just don’t treat people like adults,” Santone said.

Change is messy, but the overhaul of the manufacturing system is necessary, according to Harley.

“If we had not made adjustments, a lot more people would lose their jobs because the company would not be strong enough for the long haul,” said spokeswoman Maripat Blankenheim.

A certain amount of anxiety is to be expected as changes are rolled out in Wisconsin, said Magee, who was in Milwaukee when the company announced it was closing the Capitol Drive plant in 2010.

But from the top down, he said, management is committed to following through with the new system.

“There’s no ‘mission accomplished’ banner in this factory,” Magee said, because the work is never finished. “We are just a little further down the road than anybody else.”

Chris Yurgelonis, center, assistant director at the public library in Ridgwood, N.J., demonstrates an e-reader to Diana Hock, left, and Ann Spalckhaver. The Ridgewood library and others have begun to lend e-readers as well as e-books, but restrictions from publishers are making the process harder.

E-books: Easier to borrow, just be prepared to wait

By Alan Finder New York Times News Service

How to borrow an e-book Here are some guidelines on how to borrow books for the most popular devices: Amazon’s Kindle, which was made available for library books last September; Barnes & Noble’s Nook; the Sony and Kobo e-readers; and tablets, laptops, PCs and smartphones.

Amazon Kindle: If you don’t already have an Amazon account, you must create one on the website. Then go to your library’s website and find the e-book listings. When you select an e-book to borrow, choose the Kindle format of the book. Click to check out.

Select “get for Kindle,” which will redirect you to the public library loan page on Amazon. com. From the “deliver to” menu, select “your Kindle.”

Choose “get library book,” and it will be sent via Wi-Fi to your e-reader. (Caution: Some publishers require that certain e-books be transferred with a cable from a PC to a Kindle, even if Wi-Fi is available.)

Nook, Sony and Kobo: On a Web browser, search for Adobe Digital Editions on Adobe’s website. Once on the site, click on the “download now” link to get the software that works with these readers.

Click “launch” to begin the installation; when you see the setup assistant, click “continue.” Click on the link for an Adobe ID online. A new browser will open; click on “create an Adobe account” and fill in the required information.

Once your account is created, close the browser and return to Adobe Digital Editions.

Enter your new Adobe ID and password and click to activate the software.

It is possible to download ebooks from a library directly to some e-readers via Wi-Fi. For others, digital books must first be downloaded to a computer and then to an e-reader via a USB cable.

While the publishers may be wary, consumers have taken to e-readers and tablets with astonishing enthusiasm.

Three years ago, 2 percent of American adults owned an e-reader, according to the Pew Internet and American Life Project, and only a few had a tablet. By January, in the latest Pew survey, 28 percent of adults said they owned an ereader or a tablet, or both.

“If this product doesn’t go through here, it’s going to go through Canada or the Gulf of somewhere else,” he said.

On Thursday, Sen. Ron Wyden, D-Ore., held a town hall-style meeting at Riverside High School in Boardman, which has a population of about 3,000. Not one of the more than 100 people in attendance asked about coal. Twice the senator encouraged the group to ask him about energy issues.

In an interview afterward, Wyden, who is in line to be the ranking Democrat on the Senate Energy and Natural Resources Committee next year, said it would be premature for him to judge the Boardman project. But, noting that the country’s recent surge in oil and gas production had made it a net energy exporter for the first time in six decades, he said coal should be included in a broader debate over forming “a national energy export policy.”

Just outside Boardman, on a plateau surrounded by wind turbines and cattle ranches, a coal-fired power plant is still in operation, but not for much longer. Under pressure from the public, Portland General Electric, which owns the plant, has announced that it will shut it down by 2020. It is the only coal-fired plant still operating in Oregon.

The planned shutdown frustrated local residents who have been grateful for its cheap power and the jobs it provides.

Many blame outside groups for the shutdown — and they presume protesters eventually will appear here to fight the coal export facility.

“It won’t be from within,” said Chet Phillips, the mayor of Boardman.

better, you don’t have to go there to return it. Books vanish from your device when they are due. And you can get access to a library’s e-books from myriad devices, including e-readers, tablets and smartphones.

You do have to learn one of the two basic systems. One is for Amazon’s Kindle, which works directly through Amazon.com and is the easier of the two. The other requires you to download software from the Adobe website, and works for other e-readers.

Some people find the software unwieldy, as well as difficult to download initially, librarians say. But it is manageable.

for Adobe Digital Editions.

Connect your Nook or other e-reader to your computer via USB cable. A screen will say “device setup assistant.” Click “authorize device.” A message will confirm the device has been authorized. Click “finished.”

You are now ready to go to the e-books section of your library’s website. You must select the EPUB format of a book, which uses the Adobe software; a cable is required to transfer an e-book from your computer to your e-reader. iPad: Apple’s iPads and many other tablets and smartphones have apps for both the Kindle’s e-book software and for the Adobe Digital Editions software used by the Nook.

The vast majority of libraries use a software system called Overdrive to host their e-book collections. Browsing on most of these sites is similar to shopping on an online retailer’s site, and checking out a library’s e-book is also similar. Remember to select the appropriate format — Kindle or EPUB for Adobe Digital Editions — before adding a book to your cart.

Libraries are permitted to lend each digital book only one at a time, under licensing agreements, which is a prime reason for the long waiting lists on highly popular ebooks.

Affairs for the Environmental Protection Agency in Seattle, wrote to the Army Corps of Engineers this month. “Consider, for example, the cumulative impacts to human health and the environment from increases in greenhouse gas emissions, rail traffic, mining activity on public lands and the transport of ozone, particulate matter, and mercury from Asia to the United States.” The latter refers to pollution from coal-fired plants in Asia potentially reaching the West Coast.

The Boardman proposal is considerably smaller than those in Longview and Bellingham, and its supporters say it would include unique environmental precautions. Open coal cars would be sprayed with a dust suppressant before leaving the Powder River Basin. Once in Boardman, trains would be offloaded in an enclosed area that is ventilated by filtered vacuums.

The coal would be stored in warehouses, then transported on enclosed conveyor belts to covered barges on the river.

Many miles west, closer to the mouth of the Columbia, it would be transported again on a closed conveyor belt to a larger oceangoing ship.

“We’re trying to move this project forward the Oregon way,” added Smith, who is also a Republican state lawmaker.

“That’s being conscious of the environment and recognizing the need for economic development.”

Gary Neal, the general manager of the Port of Morrow, noted that Ambre Energy expected to create at least 25 jobs, it had not asked for any tax incentives and it had promised to donate 10 cents to the public school system for every ton of coal exported, which could mean up to $800,000. Neal said the project would bring about $2 million in additional revenue to the port, which currently brings in about $33 million.

Neal said the project one day could be even bigger than the current plans. Ambre has the rights to a much larger piece of land that is next to the same rail spur, though it has no plans now to develop it.

The port handles about 60 trains a year, bringing a variety of commodities. The coal facility would add about 10 times that, or 600 more trains, Neal said.

As a technical matter, it’s remarkably easy to borrow an e-book from your local library.

But not if you want to take out the best-selling biography of Steven P. Jobs, the hero of the Internet age who helped lure tens of millions of people to personal computers, tablets and other digital devices.

The publisher of the Jobs biography, Simon & Schuster, does not sell digital books to libraries. Five of the six major publishers of trade books either refuse to make new ebooks available to libraries or have pulled back significantly over the last year on how easily or how often those books can be circulated.

And complaints are rampant about lengthy waiting lists for best-sellers and other popular e-books from the publishers that are willing to sell to libraries.

Want to borrow “The Help,” the novel by Kathryn Stockett? On New Jersey’s state e-book consortium, 375 people were waiting for a copy recently. At the New York Public Library’s website, 193 members had put a hold on a digital edition of Stieg Larsson’s trilogy, which begins with “The Girl With the Dragon Tattoo.”

How about the immensely popular novel “Fifty Shades of Grey” by E.L. James? Thirty-three people were waiting for the e-book on the Seattle Public Library’s site.

“We hear a lot of frustration,” said Christopher Platt, the director of collections and circulation operations at the New York Public Library.

“It’s rational. We don’t expect our readers to understand the complexities of the publishing industry.”

These complexities may only increase with the announcement recently that the Justice Department had filed a civil antitrust action against major book publishers and Apple, accusing the companies of colluding in 2010 to raise the prices of e-books.

In the meantime, though, if you can find the e-book you want in the library, it’s easy to check it out. You can browse a library’s digital holdings from the comfort of your living room at any time. You don’t have to go to the library to borrow a book, and even

Continued from G1 “There’s no doubt the nation’s moving in a direction of renewable energy,” said Greg Smith, who runs an economic development firm near here that has been working for Ambre Energy, the Australianowned coal company behind the Boardman project and one in Washington.

“But until the world fully develops those alternatives, we still have to have economic development.”

Coal companies have been seeking port access in the region for well over a year, and they have had many setbacks. They were rejected outright by the Port of Tacoma, Wash., and they have met strong resistance in the Washington cities of Longview and Bellingham.

But with the appetite for coal still strong in Asia, and with the Powder River Basin holding far more coal than it can sell domestically, companies have continued to seek outlets and increasingly expanded their list of potential sites into less populated and more conservative areas, promising jobs and tax revenue.

They have been welcomed in Boardman, whose port — formally called the Port of Morrow — is just one piece of a rare combination of transportation assets for a place so small. Highways, a main freight rail line and a major waterway converge here as they do in Portland and Seattle. Yet the city’s remote location also means it has little congestion, and little of the opposition that has risen up in other areas.

“The more business the better, as far as I’m concerned,” said Leroy Quimby, the production manager for Oregon Hay Products, a federally approved hay fumigation warehouse that would be just a few hundred feet from the coal facility proposed here.

“And I don’t think there will be any environmental impact anyway.”

Conservationists disagree. They say exporting coal will simply export greenhouse gases while also threatening air quality in the Northwest, particularly in places near rail lines. They have recently broadened their appeal, arguing that the federal government should review the different proposals as a whole for their potential environmental impact, in part because they would drastically increase coal-car rail traffic through a range of pristine areas, including bird refuges and habitat for endangered salmon.

Jan Hasselman, a lawyer in Seattle for Earthjustice, a nonprofit environmental law firm, said, “For us, the real question for the region is not do we or don’t we build in Boardman, but whether we become the coal exporting hub of North America.”

The government is also asking questions; at least four of the projects, including the one here in Boardman, would require permits from the Army Corps of Engineers.

“All of these projects — and others like them — would have several similar impacts,” Kate Kelly, the director of the Office of Ecosystems, Tribal and Public

Emissions might explain chugging

By Brad Bergholdt McClatchy-Tribune News Service

I have begun to have a problem with my Q: 2001 Escape with the V-6 engine. It starts fine in the morning and runs OK for a few miles then begins chugging and loping when I come to a stop. It also hesitates to take off, but then drives OK again after I get to higher speeds. Any ideas of what could be the cause before I make a service appointment?

— Karen There are many reasons for an engine to idle rough or hesitate on acceleration, but most of them would occur at all times. Your comment that the engine runs fine for a short time before acting up leads me to focus on the EGR system. This is an emission control strategy that allows a small quantity of Exhaust Gasses to be Recirculated through the engine a second time. Adding a small, carefully regulated quantity of exhaust to the incoming air-fuel charge reduces combustion temperature, and the formation of NOx, a nasty emission compound.

I wrote about this a while back regarding a GM vehicle, but have since heard of quite a few other makes and models of vehicles encountering similar issues.

Many but not all vehicles have EGR. Some, like yours, use a vacuum-oper-

The Chevrolet Malibu Eco boasts a new design and better fuel economy.

Mild hybrid system is key to new Eco model

By Jayne Williams McClatchy-Tribune News Service

Chevrolet’s best-selling car, the midsize Malibu sedan, gets a complete makeover for 2013, and one of the four models has already gone on sale — the fuel-saving Eco version.

An already great car has gotten even better with the redesign, and the boost in fuel economy couldn’t come at a better time.

While the Eco REVIEW model is available now, the other three trim levels will go into production in late summer — the base LS, the midlevel LT and the top-of-the-line LTZ. The Eco comes with General Motors’ new eAssist system, also available in the Buick Regal and LaCrosse. It’s considered a mild hybrid, using a 115-volt lithium-ion battery pack to power a 15-horsepower electric motor built into the car’s six-speed automatic transmission.

Most of the car’s power comes from the Ecotec 2.4-liter cylinder gasoline engine, which has 182 horsepower.

The electric motor is intended primarily to boost acceleration at highway speeds, giving the car the feel of a V-6.

EPA ratings are 25 mpg city/37 highway, compared with 22 city/33 highway for the gasoline-only 2012 Malibu with a similar four-cylinder engine.

The eAssist system isn’t able to do all of the things some full hybrids can accomplish, such as propel the car on battery power alone for extended distances. But the limited hybrid system doesn’t add a lot of weight (65 pounds in this case) or require lots of extra space for the hybrid components.

As with other hybrids, though, the Malibu has automatic start/stop that cuts off the gasoline engine when the vehicle stops and/or idles, which helps conserve fuel.

It also has regenerative braking, which transforms forward momentum into energy when brakes are applied to help recharge the lithium-ion battery pack (in the trunk). The battery also is used to power accessories when the engine is in autostop mode.

Fuel economy is better in hybrid versions of the Hyundai Sonata (35 city /40 highway), Ford Fusion (41 city/36 highway) and Camry (43 city/39 highway), particularly in city driving. And the slightly pricier Volkswagen Passat diesel has better fuel economy (30/40) without any hybrid equipment.

The new Malibu is roomier than the model it replaces — the cabin has 4 more cubic feet of space, and the trunk is now 14.3 cubic feet, up one

2013 Chevrolet Malibu Eco Base price: $25,235 As tested: $29,380 Type: Front-engine, frontwheel-drive midsize family sedan Engine: Ecotec 2.4 DOHC 182-hp 4-cylinder with direct injection and Variable Valve Timing; six-speed automatic with overdrive; eAssist technology with 15 kW electric motor generator Mileage: 25 mpg city, 37 mpg highway

from the 2012 model.

Sporting a Crystal Red Tintcoat exterior, my Malibu Eco was eye-catching, with a wide, athletic stance and bold exterior. Some of its features are borrowed from the current Corvette and Camaro, GM says.

The integrated rear spoiler, active grille shutters and underbody panels also make the Malibu very aerodynamic, which helps increase fuel economy, as do the lowrolling-resistance tires. They were mounted on attractive sculpted, five-spoke, 17-inch aluminum wheels.

With a 15.8-gallon fuel tank, the Malibu Eco theoretically could go up to 550 miles between trips to the filling station. Of course, driving habits figure into the individual driver’s average.

An Eco gauge on the car’s driver-information system monitors and responds to the driver’s style and encourages fuel-saving changes. I achieved 28.4 mpg, according to the driver information system, while averaging 32.1 mph. I didn’t use the Eco gauge to try to improve my driving habits, though, and I only traveled short distances near home.

The cruise control — located on the tilt/telescopic steering wheel — can help improve fuel economy, especially on long trips, and was one of the easiest I have used.

Malibu’s cockpit area was striking, comfortable and user-friendly, with power/adjustable heated bucket seats with lumbar support; wood trim on the armrests, console, dash and steering wheel; and an easy-to-use seven-inch color touch screen for the MyLink radio and hands-free phone.

Ambient ice-blue lighting around the dash and extending to the door panels reflected off the chrome trim, giving a “jukebox” appearance, which I really liked.

The Pioneer Premium audio system with nine speakers and 250-watt amplifier

provided great sound, and was easy to use with the MyLink screen. The display features graphics specific to the genre — an acoustic guitar for country music, a microphone for talk radio, and so forth.

Voice control allows simple commands using a button on the steering wheel for phone calls or music from the radio, including satellite; portable sources, including Stitcher SmartRadio; or Internet via Pandora. The possibilities are mind boggling — for a boomer, at least.

The Gracenote feature identifies artist name, genre and cover art, and allows the operator to use artist nicknames, such as “Fab Four” or “The Boss” to find music.

Chevrolet always includes OnStar, automatic crash response and turn-by-turn navigation. OnStar also includes vehicle diagnostics, with a monthly email report with the results of hundreds of checks of the engine, transmission, brakes and other systems.

Standard safety features include eight air bags, including knee air bags for the driver and front passenger, and front and rear head-curtain air bags. Also on the list: electronic stability control with traction control, four-wheel antilock disc brakes with electronic brake-force distribution and brake assist, and child locks on the rear doors and windows.

Also included are battery rundown protection, a theftdeterrent system, tire-pressure monitoring and repair kit, power door locks with extended-range remote keyless entry, daytime running lights, halogen headlights, and heated/power outside mirrors.

The cabin has several storage cubbies, including a lighted one hidden behind the touch screen and one in front of the driver’s left knee.

My tester came with two of the four available Malibu options packages included as standard equipment in the Eco model’s price.

One was the Power Convenience Package, which brought an eight-way power driver’s seat with lumbar control, backup-camera system, remote start, auto-dimming rearview mirror, and universal garage door opener.

The other was the Premium Audio Package, which added the nine-speaker Pioneer audio system with high-output amplifier, fog lights, and leather-wrapped shifter knob and steering wheel.

Total sticker price for my tester was $29,380, including the special paint, Cocoa Fashion Trim on the steering wheel, shifter knob, armrests and door panels, and freight.

Malibu’s cockpit area was striking, comfortable and user-friendly, with power/adjustable heated bucket seats with lumbar support; wood trim on the armrests, console, dash and steering wheel; and an easy-to-use seven-inch color touch screen for the MyLink radio and hands-free phone.

ated EGR valve and others use a purely electric EGR, which isn’t prone to the problem I’ll mention.

EGR is not supposed to occur when the engine is cold, or when idling. If so, engine roughness such as you described may occur. Since your Escape runs well when the engine is cold, it appears the computer controlled electric solenoid (valve) controlling the EGR valve is functioning normally. What I believe may be happening is the control solenoid’s vent filter has become restricted, which causes the EGR valve to linger open when the engine returns to idle. This is a serviceable and inexpensive part, located beneath a removable black plastic cap which snaps on to the top of the EGR control solenoid.

Unsnapping the cap reveals a removable foam thimble, which can be either cleaned or replaced. Try removing the filter and drive the Escape for a short time without it to see if this corrects your idle loping/ roughness symptom.

On other vehicles with a less obvious vent filter location, or perhaps a non-serviceable integrated filter, one can

temporarily disconnect and plug the vacuum hose leading to the EGR valve. Its location, along with that of the control solenoid, should be indicated on the under-hood emission control information label — if EGR isn’t mentioned, the vehicle likely does not have one. Try driving the vehicle for a few minutes to check for a difference in performance.

If it markedly improves, an EGR fault exists. If the check engine light illuminates, don’t worry; it’ll go out within a day or two and the stored trouble code will self-erase in about two weeks. Long-term disconnection of the EGR is not advised as it is illegal, increases emissions and may lead to engine-damaging detonation, or spark knock.

I should add that an engine that idles rough cold or hot may be the result of an EGR valve that does not fully close.

The cause is often a build-up of carbon on the valve seat.

Rough running while under way can result from a faulty EGR position or exhaust pressure sensor.

You killed me.’ And she said, ‘I’m working it out.’” Denny returned in late 2008 as a tumor-induced hallucination; fans still swoon over his and Izzie’s doomed love story. “Let’s just say I know when they’re showing reruns,” laughs Morgan, who’s now starring as a ’50s Miami hotelier in Magic City (Starz, Fridays, 10 p.m.

It’s better to go today.

Why? The wind will hinder your flight from B to A more than it will assist your flight from A to B. Today, the roundtrip would take two hours.

Full House It starts innocently enough. A chafing dish here, a set of coffee mugs there. The next thing you know, you’re buried under an avalanche of things you no longer want. If you feel possessed by your possessions, we’re here to help. By Anna Quindlen COVER AND INSIDE ILLUSTRATIONS BY ROZ CHAST

I have a lot of stuff. I bet you do, too. Sofas, beds, bureaus, bookshelves.

Dishes, bowls, candlesticks, serving trays. Easy chairs, folding chairs, wicker chairs. Lots and lots of chairs.

I didn’t have all this stuff when I was young and single. None of us did. It was a big deal to have blinds and coffee mugs. Many of the guys I knew didn’t; they’d tack a sheet over the bedroom window, drink from Styrofoam. My first apartment was pretty typical; I had a small uncomfortable sleeper sofa, a bentwood rocker, a coffee table that was actually a trunk—didn’t everyone in 1976?—and a set of bookshelves.

In the bedroom I had a chest of drawers and a desk that was too low for an adult, at which I would hunch over my old manual Smith Corona typewriter, my knees contorted beneath. I had swapped the twin bed of my girlhood for a double bed, which some children nowadays, raised on queen-size beds, can scarcely imagine. I was proud of that double bed. Many of my friends had futons.

But then we got married and we got carafes, chafing dishes, and china. We bought matching love seats for the living room. The acquisition of stuff began.

One day I peered inside my closet and realized it looked like it belonged to a woman with multiple personality disorder. The bohemian look, the sharp suits, the frilly dresses. Those days are behind me, and I finally know whom I’m dressing: a person who has 18 pairs of black pants.

It wasn’t always like this, was it? At some point desire and need became untethered in our lives, and shopping became a competitive sport. It was generally agreed in our family that my grandmother Quindlen was a worldclass shopper, but for her, there was always an object to the hunt: a Hitchcock chair, a pair of Naturalizer pumps. Sometimes I feel as though credit cards have helped us concentrate on quantity, not quality. Plastic is magical, as though the bill will never come due.

What do we notice when we drive down the highways of our youth and measure what’s changed? There are the big-box stores, the home emporiums,

the fast-food places, but the weirdest addition are those storage facilities that loom, bunkerlike, windowless. When we were kids, storage was the basement and attic, an army trunk, atop a broken chair. When my grown children got their own places, they went shopping in the top and bottom stories of my own home. My husband says that when you go to their apartments, it’s like a walk down memory lane—that little table we never really found a place for, the coffee mugs that take both of us right back to the era when there was scarcely time for coffee because someone always needed a glass of milk or a story read. My husband has never cared much about stuff himself. Here’s what he needs: a comfortable chair in which to read and watch TV. Sharp knives. A bottle opener. A pillow that, like the Goldilocks story, is neither too soft nor too hard.

There was a period when I believed stuff meant something. I thought that if you had matching side chairs and a sofa that harmonized and some beautiful lamps to light them, you would have a home, that elegance signaled happiness. I fooled myself into thinking that House Beautiful should be subtitled Life Wonderful. I don’t know why I thought this, since the home in which I grew up, the oldest of five, was always pretty topsy-turvy, the dining room table turned into a fort with blankets, the chunk-chunk sound of someone jumping on the bed upstairs. Statisticians say our houses are almost twice as large, on average, as they were 40 years ago, but we all understand that that doesn’t mean the people inside are any more content. Now that I’m nearing 60, I understand the truth about possessions, that they mean or prove or solve nothing. Stuff is not salvation.

My friend Susan is my role model in this regard. She and her husband and their three boys have somehow forgone crazed consumerism. They get honey from their bees, eggs from their chickens, venison the way you do out in the country, where hunting trumps the supermarket. Susan and her many sisters have swap meets in which they shop around among one another’s clothing. On Christmas several years ago, her youngest, Willem, was permitted, in his family’s fashion, to open one gift on Christmas eve. The next morning, when he saw his stack of presents under the tree, he said, “But I What to do with the stuff already have one.” that’s not worth saving That’s how I feel, too. For years I acquired stuff, and after a certain SELL IT! point, I can’t say when, I realized Where: eBay and the “for sale” I didn’t really care about most of section on Craigslist it. If there was a fire, what would What: Hot-ticket items on eBay I save? We all used to say it was include cameras, computers, collectibles, jewelry, and newthe photo albums, but with digital with-tags clothing. If you don’t want photography we all have our to bother with crating and shipping, pictures on our computers. My start local and use Craigslist, where cookbooks are well thumbed, but furniture, baby gear, power tools, I know the best recipes by heart and sports equipment do well.

now, and the bad recipes I’ve either discarded or adapted.

There’s a porcelain bird I gave my mother the Christmas before she died, which she owned for less than a month, and which I’ve wrapped carefully in tissue and taken with me from the small apartment to the bigger apartment to the first house to the bigger house. There are the letters my kids write each year to Santa Claus, even now that they no longer watch me seal them in envelopes and address them to S. Claus, North Pole, 99705 (which is really the zip code of North Pole, Alaska, not the real North Pole).

But in case of disaster I’d probably just grab a few old family photos and the Labradors. I’d be wearing the watch and the rings my husband gave me for the big birthdays. I haven’t removed my wedding ring since the day he put it on me and the priest blessed it. I’d miss the rest, but I wouldn’t mourn it.

(Except for the Christmas ornaments, I guess. My entire family is pretty attached to the Christmas ornaments.)

Here’s what it comes down to, really: There is now so much stuff in my head.

Memories and lessons learned have taken the place of possessions. Over the stove is the sampler I see while I’m poaching eggs or poking a fork into the pot roast: “Work like you don’t need the money. Love like you’ve never been hurt. Dance like no one’s looking.” But I suppose it could vanish, too. That’s a lesson I’ve learned by heart, over time, when I wasn’t distracted by acquisition.

When I fall back into the old ways, I remember Willem saying on Christmas morning, “But I already have one.”

That’s my new mantra, and it applies to almost everything. I already have one. I bet you do, too.

TRASH IT! Where: The curb What: Items that are stained, broken, or irreparably damaged belong here, along with unwanted mementos that are meaningful to no one but you (like that Little League trophy from 1978).

Says Walsh, “Sometimes one man’s trash is really another man’s trash.”

Where: Yard sale What: Furniture, power tools, lawn mowers, toys, sports equipment, and bicycles typically move briskly— though you won’t get much for them. Clothing especially tends to

go for a pittance. Think of a yard sale as a way to have neighbors pay you modestly for the favor of hauling away your stuff rather than as a moneymaking venture, suggests professional organizer Peter Walsh, author of It’s All Too Much.

To avoid potential embarrassment, label each with a sticky note listing the date you received it and the name of the giver, Walsh suggests. Also, check the packaging carefully for personal notes or gift tags.

Where: Freecycle.org and the “free” section on Craigslist What: Nearly everything (prescription drugs are an exception) can be disposed of greenly through these sites; computers, appliances, furniture, and children’s play equipment—like swing sets and trampolines—are the most in demand. —Hilary Sterne

Don’t let mounds of paper pile up when you have so many digital storage options, says organizational expert Mary Carlomagno, author of Give It Up! My Year of Learning to Live Better With Less. If you really like something—an article, a recipe, a how-to—use websites like Delicious, Instapaper, or Pinterest to virtually hold on to it.

2. Paper copies of paid bills “If you need to prove you paid for something, there’s the Internet, there’s the bank,” Carlomagno says. “Don’t toss documents you obviously need—leases, licenses, things like that—but the Macy’s bills from 1985? Those can go.”

3. VHS tapes, cassette tapes, or old video games News flash: VCRs won’t be making a comeback—and neither will boomboxes or prehistoric game consoles. If there’s something you really cherish—a wedding video, a favorite mixtape—digitize it; services like iMemories.com (VHS or film) and Southtree.com (audio) can do the job for about $15 apiece.

4. Home gym equipment Even if you and your family work out often, you probably still have little-used exercise gear (like a rowing machine or some infomercial contraption) lurking in a closet or basement. Ditch anything you haven’t touched in the past year— that goes for yoga mats, workout clothes, and water bottles, too.

5. Worn-out linens Throw away threadbare towels and mismatched bed linens in favor of a few well-made items.

Erin Rooney Doland offers this simple equation in her book Unclutter Your Life in One Week: Add up the people in your house plus the number of guest bedrooms and multiply by two. That’s how many towels and washcloths you need. Have two sets of sheets per bed—and don’t forget the air mattress or sofa bed.

6. Old hair accessories Is your bathroom cabinet overflowing with hair dryers, irons,

j

hot combs, and rollers? “Unless you use it daily or weekly, toss it,� says Jill Pollack, host of HGTV Canada’s Consumed.

7. Outdated cell phones People hoard old phones for fear of putting their private info at risk; Pollack advises recycling them instead, either through a charity like Cell Phones for Soldiers or a big-box store like Home Depot or Best Buy.

8. Extra coat hangers “For the love of all things environmental, collect and return them to your dry cleaner,� says Pollack.

9. Reminders of past hobbies Your interests change over time, but the things connected to them—that old set of golf clubs, the guitar you never learned to play—tend to linger. Hand these items off to friends or relatives who can put them to better use, Carlomagno suggests.

10. Single-use kitchen gadgets Unless you chow down on grapefruit every morning and host monthly crab feasts, you can dispose of the grapefruit knives and crab mallets; opt for multipurpose tools instead. The exception? “If you use something for holiday baking or cooking, it’s worth keeping around,� says Pollack. So the Christmas-tree cookie cutters get a pass, but everything else goes. —Alex McDaniel

Answers (a) 0; (b) 1. Washing your car at home creates a toxic brew of oil, gasoline, and detergent that enters storm drains and flows directly into rivers, lakes, and streams. Most professional car washes use recycled water and drain their H2O into a sewer system, so the sludge gets treated before reentering nature. Many also use 60 percent less water than DIY jobs.

For big bashes, buying a keg and serving beer in reusable cups creates the least waste, says Terri Bennett, author of Do Your Part. Aluminum is the next-best choice—it’s lightweight and easily recycled, landing back on shelves in 60 days or less. Glass, while also recyclable, is heavier, which means more fuel is needed to transport it.

(a) 0; (b) 1; (c) 2. Canned salmon comes mainly from wild Alaskan waters; many salmon from other U.S. states are considered endangered or threatened. And “Atlantic” usually means “farmed,” a process that critics assert uses chemicals and unsustainable fishing practices.

use half the energy and one-sixth less water than doing dishes by hand, according to a study by the University of Bonn in Germany.

And research by Consumer Reports found that prerinsing can waste up to 6,000 gallons of water per household each year. (a) 1; (b) 0. Every year, Americans produce millions of tons of leaf and grass clippings; some end up in landfills.

Bright Green. The planet’s health is on your radar, but it’s not always your top priority. Want to take your good intentions a step further? For better gas mileage, use cruise control whenever possible and remove unnecessary weight from the trunk. Install low-flow showerheads and toilets in your bathroom.

And buy power strips you can easily switch off when appliances are not in use.

(a) 0; (b) 1; (c) 2. Flushing pills can send them into waterways, says Davidson.

Recycling the container is a good move, but it’s best to return medications to your pharmacist, who will dispose of them properly. Next Saturday, April 28, the U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration is sponsoring its National Prescription Drug Take-Back Day. To find collection sites near you, go to dea.gov.

Fluorescent Green. For an environmental expert like you, it is easy being green.

So share your knowledge.

Launch a reusable lunch box campaign at your kid’s school in which you ask parents to replace plastic baggies and forks with washable Tupperware and cutlery. Or start a neighborhood carpool for weekend errands—like a trip to the farmers’ market.

Start small—for instance, by replacing just five regular lightbulbs with low-energy bulbs. When you shop, look for products with minimal packaging (read: less waste), and try to shave one minute off your daily shower—you’ll save up to 1,000 gallons of water each year.
