Warm Springs, warned by HUD, tables housing plan Safer water, By Keith Chu The Bulletin

WASHINGTON — Faced with an ongoing investigation and the threat of federal fines, the Warm Springs Tribal Council has fired its chief financial officer and appar-

ently tabled a plan to take control of the troubled Warm Springs Housing Authority. Since 2003, the Housing Authority has been the subject of at least three federal audits, which revealed widespread misuse of federal grant funds

and squalid conditions in some tribal housing units. In late March, the U.S. Housing and Urban Development Department issued a warning letter, noting that the tribes failed to make progress on eight of 10 major violations of federal regulations flagged in

A Bend High class introduces students to pancreatic cancer cells, experimenting on their own DNA and more

but some will need a new part It’s called a thermal expansion tank; roughly two-thirds of Bend residences already have one By Lillian Mongeau The Bulletin

The city of Bend is in the early stages of a sixyear effort to install new water meters that feature remote reading and backflow prevention on all single-family residences. It’s free to water customers, because it is covered by $1.2 million in federal stimulus funds and about the same in regular city utility maintenance funds. But for some, there could be another charge of up to $200. To keep the water pressure in homes from building up due to the backflow device and causing hot water to spill out or burst a pipe, some residents may need to spend up to $200 of their own money to purchase and install a plumbing fixture called a thermal expansion tank. See Water / A5

New plumbing fixture The city of Bend will be installing new water meters with backflow assemblies at Bend residences and commercial properties. The installation may necessitate the addition of a thermal expansion tank for some properties.

Thermal expansion tank

The city will install new water meters and backflow assemblies. The backflow assembly keeps possibly contaminated water from flowing from the property back into the city’s water supply.

The expansion tank accommodates the increase in water pressure caused by heated water expanding in the line between the backflow assembly and the water heater. Owners are responsible for installing the expansion tank.

wo dozen high school students recently took long metal suction devices and squirted a series of liquids into plastic tubes that held their own DNA. These teenagers weren’t in a special science club or on a college campus. They are students in Laura CowinSugden’s biotechnology course at Bend High School. The procedure they were following read like something from a college science textbook, but the students knew exactly what they were doing. “We’re running a PCR, a preliminary chain reaction,” said Rhys Owens, 17. “It amplifies the

DNA and increases the amount.” Once the PCR is complete, “you put it in (the gel) and run electricity through it,” Kenzie Koepke, 16, Rhys’ lab partner, explained. She and Suzy Price, 18, the third lab partner, pulled down a rectangular box from a cupboard and pointed out the clear liquid, called gel, inside. Red and black wires — used to run the electricity through the gel — sprouted from the box. “Depending on the size and shape of the DNA, it will go different distances,” Kenzie said. The varied distances and densities of the bits of DNA allow students to compare the specific traits of plants, animals and, now, themselves. There’s just one problem. DNA is tiny. Really tiny.

And the best way to see it is by exposing it to ultraviolet rays of light. The only way to do that is with a high-tech piece of equipment called a transilluminator, which costs $12,000. Cowin-Sugden, who worked for several years in the biotech industry before becoming a science teacher, knew that Bend High did not have that kind of money in its budget — no matter how heartily it supported the new course she was creating. So when she heard about a new organization in town called Central Oregon Bioscience Industry Consortium — known as COBIC — last fall, she wasted no time in calling the group’s president, Tony Hnyp, and asking if he knew where she might find a transilluminator.

WASHINGTON — Weeks before the world had ever heard of the Deepwater Horizon oil rig, President Barack Obama stood in the Roosevelt Room of the White House poring over maps of oil drilling sites in the Gulf of Mexico, Alaska and elsewhere. Satisfied that he knew all he needed to know and confident that it was safe, he decided to propose expanded offshore drilling. “This is not a decision that I’ve made lightly,” he said when he unveiled his proposal on March 31. “Oil rigs today generally don’t cause spills,” he added two days later.

U.S. focuses on Afghan graft By Thom Shanker and Eric Schmitt New York Times News Service

The U.S. military intelligence network in Afghanistan, designed for identifying and tracking terrorists and insurgents, is increasingly focused on uncovering corruption that is rampant across Afghanistan’s government, security forces and contractors, according to senior American officials. Military intelligence officers in Afghanistan are scouring seized

documents and interrogating captured fighters and facilitators — but not just to learn about insurgent networks that plan attacks, plant roadside explosives and send out suicide bombers. They are also looking for insights on how to combat a widespread perversion of authority by Afghan power brokers, which senior officials describe as “a plague” on the American-backed effort to build an effective and competent government, and win

the support of the Afghan people. The United States and its NATO allies may find themselves following leads that point to the top levels of government, because even close family members of President Hamid Karzai have been accused of engaging in the drug trade and enriching themselves with lucrative business deals. American contractors are among those accused of wrongdoing, and some in the U.S. government have been known to look the other way

rather than upset Karzai. The new military anti-corruption effort is a joint operation with Afghan law enforcement and judicial authorities. But on Saturday, The New York Times reported that some in Afghanistan, including one of Karzai’s former top intelligence aides, complained that the Afghan president himself was increasingly mistrustful of the United States and had talked of cutting his own agreement with the Taliban.

Officer Les Munn, of Texarkana, Ark., stands at the front of a search boat Saturday near the edge of the Little Missouri River near Langley, Ark. The search for nearly two dozen people who disappeared after flash floods swept through a popular campground went from desperate to grim on Saturday, after teams that scoured miles of river and rugged wilderness found just two bodies. The last time someone was found alive was late Friday morning,

hours after a pre-dawn wall of water surprised sleeping campers at the Albert Pike Recreation Area, leaving them frantically trying to scramble up the steep terrain in the dark. At least six of the 18 people confirmed killed were young children, according to a list released by Gov. Mike Beebe’s office publicly identifying 15 of them. State police said Saturday evening that there were 22 people missing. — The Associated Press

Kyrgyzstan pleads for help amid waves of ethnic riots

By W.J. Hennigan Los Angeles Times

LOS ANGELES — Hunched over, her eyes fixed downward, Tanya Hart inches across the vast wing of the B-2 stealth bomber one small step at a time, looking for any nicks or hairline scratches in the freshly repainted surface. Even a tiny blemish could make the B-2 as visible on radar screens as a giant flying tin can. Hart, 50, is the last line of defense for what

Spirit Airlines pilots strike, stranding thousands

may be the world’s most expensive paint job. “This isn’t a job where you can afford to mess up,” said Hart, a “surface technician” for Northrop Grumman Corp., which built the bombers and is now overhauling them. Overhauling a stealth bomber, which must be done every seven years, costs $60 million, on average, and usually takes a year. The work is done at Northrop’s

45-acre complex in Palmdale, Calif., where hundreds of workers strip off the plane’s paint, panels, nuts and bolts, right down to the frame, before rebuilding it with new paint, parts and equipment. The 20 B-2s in service were built at a cost of $2.1 billion each, with many one-of-a-kind parts. Contributing to the high cost of an overhaul is the meticulous care that must be taken in restoring the bomber’s dark gray coating,

known as “advanced high-frequency material,” which is the key to keeping it nearly invisible to radar. Even so, the overhaul costs are a sore point with some military industry critics who have long called the B-2 a gold-plated boondoggle. “It’s the ultimate hangar queen,” said Winslow Wheeler, an analyst at the Center for Defense Information, a Pentagon watchdog group.

CHARMING, SUNNY

OSH, Kyrgyzstan — Ethnic riots wracked southern Kyrgyzstan on Saturday, forcing thousands of Uzbeks to flee as their homes were torched by roving mobs of Kyrgyz men. The interim government begged Russia for troops to stop the violence, but the Kremlin offered only humanitarian assistance. At least 77 people were reported killed and more than 1,000 wounded in the violence spreading across the impoverished Central Asian nation that hosts U.S. and Russian air bases. Much of its second-largest city, Osh, was on fire Saturday, and the sky overhead was black with smoke. Roving mobs of young Kyrgyz men armed with firearms and metal bars marched on minority Uzbek neighborhoods and set homes on fire, forcing thousands of Uzbeks to flee. Stores were looted, and the city was running out of food. Kyrgyzstan’s third straight day of rioting also engulfed another major southern city, Jalal-Abad, where a rampaging mob burned a university, besieged a police station and seized an armored vehicle and other weapons from a local military unit. “It’s a real war,” said local political leader Omurbek Suvanaliyev. “Everything is burning, and bodies are lying on the streets.” Those driven from their homes rushed toward the border with Uzbekistan, and an Associated Press reporter there saw the bodies of children trampled to death in the panicky stampede. Crowds of frightened women and children made flimsy bridges out of planks and ladders to cross the ditches marking the border. Interim President Roza Otunbayeva acknowledged that her government has lost control over Osh, a city of 250,000, even though it sent troops, armor and helicopters to quell the riots. Violence spread to the nearby city of Jalal-Abad later Saturday.

The Associated Press FORT LAUDERDALE, Fla. — A strike by Spirit Airlines pilots has shut down the discount carrier, stranding thousands of travelers. The walkout, which began Saturday, forced the airline to cancel its scheduled flights on Saturday and today. Its CEO said no talks were planned with picketing pilots. Spirit carries 16,680 passengers per day — about 1 percent of the U.S. total — mostly between the eastern U.S. and the Caribbean and Latin America. But its shutdown is causing major problems for its flyers. Spirit tickets are only good on a handful of other carriers, and only if there’s space on the flight. The airline said it was refunding fares for Saturday flights plus a $100 credit toward future flights. It was trying to get its passengers booked onto other airlines. People who needed to replace their Spirit tickets found the cost of same-day fares on other airlines was two to three times more than their tickets.

After skipping offshore drilling binge, U.S. to BP: Do Florida’s anger rises over oncoming oil better – fast By Damien Cave New York Times News Service

KEY LARGO, Fla. — When rigs first started drilling for oil off Louisiana’s coast in the 1940s, Floridians scanned their own shoreline, with its resorts and talcum-white beaches, and said, No thanks. Go ahead and drill, they told other states; we’ll stick with tourism. Now that invisible wall separating Florida from its neighbors has been breached. The spreading BP oil spill has already reached the Panhandle, and if it rides currents to the renowned reefs and fishing holes on both Florida coasts, the Sunshine State could become a vacation destination with the rules of a museum: Look, but don’t touch. Many Floridians, of course, say they are heartbroken for Louisiana, and they still reserve their most caustic criticism for BP and government regulators. But with oil continuing to gush from a well off Louisiana, Florida has grown angrier at its oil-friend-

Oil Continued from A1 “They are technologically very advanced. Even during Katrina, the spills didn’t come from the oil rigs, they came from the refineries onshore.” On April 20, the Deepwater Horizon rig exploded, setting off the largest oil spill in U.S. history. It drove Obama to freeze the proposal he’d just made. An in-depth review by McClatchy Newspapers reveals how Obama reached that initial decision to expand offshore drilling — and why he failed to get information that might have led him instead to delay or oppose it and perhaps even raise questions about the deep-water drilling that was already under way.

Trust in the system Obama did roll back some of the offshore drilling that the George W. Bush administration had approved on Bush’s last day in office. However, Obama never challenged the Bush era’s fundamental faith in the oil industry or its ability to clean up a massive spill. Instead, he embraced expanded offshore drilling, in part to win Republican support for broader legislation to curb climate change. “He deserved to be more skeptical,” said Stephen Hess, a veteran of four White Houses back to the Eisenhower administration and an expert on how presidents do their job. “They hadn’t thought through the various ramifications. They should have, obviously. But it didn’t seem obvious at the time.” “Not well thought through,” said Rick Steiner, a retired University of Alaska marine scientist. “If they had really done their job, they would have understood there was high risk here.” Indeed, Obama and his team overlooked some important points as they prepared to give the green light to more offshore oil drilling. Expanding the drilling was something he’d promised to do during his campaign, when gas prices topped $4 a gallon, and it was a lure he planned to use to win Republican votes for legislation aimed at curbing climate change. Among their oversights: • Obama thought that funneling information through White House “czars” such as energy and environment adviser Carol Browner would get him all the data he needed. • He failed to drill into the government bureaucracy to test that information. He didn’t, for example, ask about the Interior Department’s Minerals Management Service, which had prepared a report in 2000 on the dangers of deep-water drilling that proved to

ly neighbors. Gov. Charlie Crist said in an interview last week that “there’s a certain level of frustration” with the fact that Florida gets little if any financial benefit from offshore drilling, even though it shares the environmental risks. Florida has a lot to lose, even beyond tourism and fishing. Housing has become increasingly concentrated along the state’s 8,436 miles of shoreline. With property values already down by a third in many areas and unemployment around 12 percent, the state could see its economy darkened for a decade by the spill. Also vulnerable is the thirdlargest reef system in the world, which sits just offshore in the likely path of the loop current that, according to oceanographers, has already sent small blots of oil around Florida’s tip. Residents worry about losing not just their livelihood, but also their way of life. Gary Sands, a third-generation fisherman who works just past the

be eerily predictive of what happened in the Gulf. The MMS regulates offshore drilling. • He never talked to the Coast Guard about its 2002 oil-spill drill in the Gulf or to the man who ran it, Adm. Thad Allen, who later would oversee the response to the Deepwater Horizon spill. • He didn’t reach out to outside experts, such as the National Academy of Engineering, to question claims that deep-water drilling technology was dependable. Top Obama administration officials say that they did an exhaustive job marshaling information for more than a year, and that the president asked what he needed to ask when it arrived at his desk. Anyone, they said, would grow complacent about the safety of offshore drilling after decades without a major spill. “It’s really important to understand you have decades of nothing going wrong,” said one senior administration official, who spoke only on the condition of anonymity as a matter of White House policy. “The last time you saw a spill of this magnitude in the Gulf, it was off the coast of Mexico in 1979,” a second senior administration official said. “If something doesn’t happen since 1979, you begin to take your eye off of that thing.” For Obama, a former campaign adviser said, the decision to expand offshore drilling was born in the 2008 campaign, when gasoline prices were soaring and Republican rival Sen. John McCain of Arizona was scoring with his promise of more production — drill, baby, drill — to drive down prices. Obama also warmed to new offshore drilling as part of a bipartisan proposal in Congress, led by Sen. Lindsey Graham, R-S.C., to allow expanded drilling while pushing higher fuel efficiency. The president and his political aides looked at proposing expanded drilling as a way to win Republican support for a broader energy bill aimed at climate change. Interior Secretary Ken Salazar gathered information about oil drilling for a year, including public hearings in Alaska, California, Louisiana and New Jersey. More than 530,000 comments were collected. Browner was the West Wing aide responsible for taking Salazar’s recommendations and all viewpoints to Obama. She’s the assistant to the president for energy and climate change. She said she didn’t advocate choices inside the White House. “My job is to be an honest broker ... on behalf of the Cabinet agencies,” she said, “to ensure that they are able to present their best recommendations to the president and that he has all of the information he needs to make a decision.”

Tourists enjoy the beaches last week at John Pennekamp Coral Reef State Park in Key Largo, Fla. With oil gushing from a well off Louisiana, Florida has grown frustrated with its oil-friendly neighbors. Pilot House bar here in Key Largo, took a break from hammering together lobster traps to explain exactly what that means. Sands pointed to a pair of blond

Obama recently conceded that he was wrong to trust the oil companies. “Where I was wrong was in my belief that the oil companies had their act together when it came to worst-case scenarios,” he said. “Now, that wasn’t based on just my blind acceptance of their statements. Oil drilling has been going on in the Gulf, including deep water, for quite some time. And the record of accidents like this we hadn’t seen before.” He also laid some blame on the MMS. “Prior to this accident happening, I think there was a lack of anticipating what the worst-case scenarios would be. And that’s a problem,” he said. “And part of that problem was lodged in MMS and the way that that agency was structured. That was the agency in charge of providing permitting and making decisions in terms of where drilling could take place, but also in charge of enforcing the safety provisions.” Yet Obama didn’t ask about the MMS when he was weighing whether to expand drilling on the Outer Continental Shelf. While not asking about the MMS is potentially embarrassing in hindsight, presidential expert Hess said it was unrealistic to expect a president to know much about an otherwise obscure agency. “MMS is probably an agency that never crops up on the White House radar. It’s in the bowels of the bureaucracy,” Hess said. “No president pays equal attention to every piece of the bureaucracy.”

Outside advice? Some presidents like to reach outside official channels for unfiltered advice. Bill Clinton, for example, loved to call people late into the night. Obama didn’t seek such outside expertise until the spill, however — at least not to ask about oil drilling technology in deep water or oil-spill response plans. “Beyond routine meetings with ‘green group’ environmental organization CEOs and policy staff, I don’t think the administration reached out,” said Dianne Saenz, the communications director for Oceana, one of the environmental groups. “We did not know the specifics of the March 31 announcement on expanded offshore drilling areas before it was made.” Browner said Obama did reach out. “He’s met several times with representatives of the environmental community who would have raised this issue,” she said. “He also has met with various groups of business leaders who were interested in energy reform, some of whom would have raised this issue.

teens, sons of a fellow fisherman. “I’m 68, but these boys, they’ve got 30 years,” he said. “If it doesn’t come back for these boys, what’s going to happen?”

Inside the White House, aides say that they and their president did the best they could, given the context before the unprecedented accident. “The best piece of evidence we had was that there hadn’t been a problem for decades,” Browner said. “There are very few industries where you can probably look back over a several-decade period and not have a large-scale problem.” “Nobody expected the damned thing to blow up,” said Hess, the presidential scholar. “A lot of things don’t get that presidential attention because the president is busy and historically, statistically, it’s not apt to happen very often. “If somebody tells you something happens in Kandahar, you better challenge it if lives are at stake. But most things in the bureaucracy, you have some faith in the people you’ve asked to gather the information.”

Waves of crude oil reached the Alabama shoreline Saturday as the Obama administration announced it has given BP until the end of the weekend to devise a more aggressive strategy for collecting oil spilling into the Gulf of Mexico. In a letter released Saturday, Rear Adm. James Watson, the top Coast Guard official in the gulf, told BP officials that he was not satisfied with the company’s current containment plan, adding that “every effort must be expended to speed up the process.” At the same time, President Barack Obama tried to smooth diplomatic tensions over the disaster, reassuring British Prime Minister David Cameron that his anger toward the London-based BP would not affect relations between their countries. In a 30-minute telephone

The pair of messages underscored the political challenges for the administration in managing the worst oil spill in U.S. history. Initially, Obama was criticized for not being firm enough in his reaction to the April 20 explosion, which has dumped between 40 million and 109 million gallons of oil into the ocean. In recent weeks, Obama has inserted himself more forcefully, scheduling another visit to the region Monday.

Biotech Continued from A1 Hnyp suggested she call Bend Research, a local company that designs tablets and other compounds that allow medicines to be released into and absorbed by the body. In a stroke of luck, Bend Research had just retired an oldermodel transilluminator and still had the piece of equipment at its research site in Tumalo. “The timing was right,” said Trevor Wigle, vice president and general manager of manufacturing for Bend Research. “It was obvious that it was a worthwhile program and that we would want to stand behind it,” said Wigle. “In this case, it was a no-brainer.” Bend Research has operated in the area for 35 years and has long been committed to science and engineering education, Wigle said. “Everyone has been cutting,” he said, “but in our minds the one place we never cut is science and engineering education.”

“With things like this, you never know what might happen. Maybe it will make a difference in a couple kids’ lives, and they’ll cure cancer for us when we’re old and gray.” — Tony Hnyp, president, Central Oregon Bioscience Industry Consortium

This transilluminator, a piece of equipment that allows scientists to see DNA, was donated to Bend High School’s biotech program by Bend Research, a local biotech company.

Hands-on science The program at Bend High is currently the only high school course offered by Bend-La Pine Schools that is aimed specifically at teaching biotech skills like “splicing together genes, growing them and purifying out the proteins,” Cowin-Sugden said. “Students have made glowing bacteria, altered gene sequences to make them do things we want them to do and sequenced their own DNA.” Cowin-Sugden, one of 11 National Board Certified Teachers in the district, designed the course herself, and it was one of a handful of teacher-created courses that was added to the master course table last year, said Vicki Van Buren, Bend-La Pine’s chief academic officer. Now that it has been vetted and approved, any high school biology teacher could adopt the course and offer it to additional students. No other teachers plan to offer the course next year, said Van Buren, but it will continue to be offered at Bend High for any student who has already taken and passed biology and chemistry. Cowin-Sugden said she runs the class like a real lab, which means students are graded on

Tribes Continued from A1 The Warm Springs Housing Authority is an independent agency whose board members are appointed by the Warm Springs Tribal Council. Earlier this year, the tribes’ CEO Jody Calica had said he was working to take direct control of the housing authority to clean up the finances there. But in recent weeks, after he presented a bill to the council that would have done just that, council members decided to wait on the plan, according to Calica. “They weren’t ready to move until they saw a notice of intent (from HUD) saying they’re going to start imposing sanctions,” Calica said. HUD spokesman Lee Jones said the department is drafting a response to the housing authority’s failure to correct the many violations, but Jones didn’t know whether the response would include sanctions, or when it would be issued. The violations found in the 2009 report included the fact that 91 percent of housing authority rental units had health and safety violations, including no work-

ing smoke detector in 63 percent of the rental units, poor-quality work such as unsafe water heater installation, collapsing subfloors and deteriorating concrete walkways on brand-new homes in 42 percent of the units, and major maintenance issues, including fire damage, exposed wiring and electrical shorts in 64 percent of the units. That report also found that the tribes had not rectified some misuse of federal funds, such as staff and board members claiming travel expenses without receipts, dating back to 2003. Most recently, the tribes improperly accounted for $1.4 million in federal funds, according to HUD investigators. The tribes disputed that finding. Interim Warm Springs Housing Authority Executive Director Scott Moses said the authority has already made progress on all of the 10 violations that HUD identified. “We’ve already addressed them all,” Moses said. “I can’t tell you I’ve done 100 percent of whatever their concern was, but they’re being addressed.” Calica also replaced Warm Springs Chief Financial Officer Ray Potter, who had no formal

responsibility for the housing authority, although former housing authority Director Jeff Sanders and former board member Leroy Smith Sr. have said Potter oversaw at least some of the agency’s finances. Potter didn’t return a message at his house seeking comment. Moses said he wasn’t aware that Potter had been fired. Asked if removing Potter would improve the agency’s operations, Moses said: “If that were true, I guess you’d have to wait and see.” Moses, who was elected to the Tribal Council in April, said the council never voted on a measure to take control of the housing authority. Amid the housing authority’s safety problems, a major blaze destroyed a WSHA apartment complex last month. The fire, on May 9, started in a vacant apartment and eventually destroyed the Tenino Apartments complex, displacing four families who lived there. Warm Springs Fire and Rescue Chief Dan Martinez said the fire’s cause is still under investigation.

a tour of Bend Research’s lab facility. Jeff Breit, a research scientist who holds a doctorate in molecular and cellular pharmacology, told students that much of what they were learning in class is what he does for a living. He had the students check out a line of pancreatic cancer cells on one of the lab’s microscopes and then pointed out the powerful centrifuge they use to pull apart cells for research. They nodded with understanding as he talked about aqueous and organic liquids, and showed them the transilluminator that had replaced the one the students now used. “I’d gladly take any centrifuges you have,” Cowin-Sugden piped up. “You know,” she said with a laugh, “if you don’t like the color.” Breit didn’t have any extras, but he said later that he thought teachers like Cowin-Sugden could make all the difference when it came to inspiring kids to pursue science. “I was super early,” he said. “In fourth grade, I had the right teacher.”

and a number of retired scientists have recently joined COBIC in hopes of growing the bioscience industry in Central Oregon. “Everyone knows Central Oregon is great for aviation, great for alternative energy, but it’s a darn fine place for all sorts of high-tech things,” Hnyp said. One of COBIC’s goals is to increase work force training opportunities in Central Oregon, but it did not originally expect to hear from a high school teacher who was working on doing just that. So far, Cowin-Sugden is the only high school teacher who has contacted Hnyp, he said, but he hopes she isn’t the last. “I’d be very happy to have (other science teachers) get in touch with me to see if there are other equipment needs,” he said. “And I would challenge high-tech businesses to seek out high schools that might need equipment.” Hnyp can be contacted at 541-350-0202. Cowin-Sugden, Breit and Hnyp all said they hoped courses like this one could increase the number of local students who pursue

science careers in the future. “With things like this, you never know what might happen,” Hnyp said. “Maybe it will make a difference in a couple kids’ lives, and they’ll cure cancer for us when we’re old and gray.” Rachel Gilmer, 16, thinks she might be one of those students. Rachel is one of the only sophomores taking biotech this year. She said she hadn’t been particularly into science before high school, but now she loves it and has already signed up to take a microbiology course at Central Oregon Community College next year. “It’s pretty much everything wonderful in the world,” she said of biotechnology. “I mean, we made bacteria glow.

Teen solo sailor healthy, weary after 3 days adrift By Christopher Weber The Associated Press

THOUSAND OAKS, Calif. — A California teenager who spent three days adrift on the turbulent Indian Ocean described her ordeal as “crazy” as she started a long journey home aboard a French fishing boat that rescued her Saturday from her crippled sailboat. Abby Sunderland was bumped and bruised but otherwise healthy, her parents said after hearing from the 16-yearold in a 20-minute phone call to their home northwest of Los Angeles. “She sounded tired, a little bit small in her voice, but she was able to make jokes and she was looking forward to getting some sleep,” her mother, Marianne Sunderland, told reporters outside the family home. Her mother, who is close to giving birth to a boy, said her daughter joked about her ordeal affecting the baby and

Creative Utilities worker Shawn Struble prepares to install a radio sensor on a water meter outside Carrera Motors on Friday afternoon. The installation is part of an ongoing program to make all water meters in Bend readable remotely.

Water Continued from A1 “(The thermal expansion tank) should be installed at the exact time or before,” the backflow device is put in place, said Douglas Avery, owner of MacMillan Plumbing in Bend. “If the backflow device is installed prior to the expansion tank, there’s a real extreme possibility that the house is going to go under high pressure and a release valve could pop, or there could be a break.” The problem, Avery explained, is that whenever water is heated, it expands. That means each time someone takes a shower and the hot water heater kicks in, the water pressure in the home’s pipes rises. The city’s system operates at about 60 pounds of pressure, said Avery, who has been a plumber here for more than 30 years. “When your heater cooks, the pressure in your house will go from 60 pounds to close to 100 pounds,” Avery said. “That’s not something just to forget about.” Right now, the change in pressure means some of the hot water will be forced back out of a home’s pipes, into the water the rest of us use. The new backflow devices will prevent that, though. That is a good thing in terms of keeping the drinking water safe, but it could be a bad thing for a plumbing system if it doesn’t have either a thermal expansion tank or an older version of the same thing, called an air hammer. These devices provide extra space in an indoor plumbing system for expanded water to pool temporarily so that it does not force itself through the emergency relief valve in the hot water heater. When water does force itself through that valve, the pipes should be safe, but the valve needs to be replaced by a plumber.

Parts and plumbers Installing a thermal expansion tank is not hard with a little know-how, according to Ross Sisson, manager of Searing Electric and Plumbing in downtown Bend for seven years. Sisson said his store stocked two sizes of thermal expansion tanks, and the most common ones run $49.50. “I try to tactfully say to people, ‘It depends on your skill level,’” Sisson said. He added that his staff would happily explain the steps to any interested customer. “We can even sell them a pipe wrench if they need it,” he said. Sisson also keeps a stack of business cards for local plumbers such as Avery at the register, for anyone who feels more comfortable handing the job over to an expert. Though the cost can vary depending on the system, Avery said a ballpark figure for hiring him to install a new thermal expansion tank is about $150, including materials, but he said others may charge up to $200. Not every house in Bend is without such a tank. About eight years ago, the city began requiring backflow prevention devices on all new construction, which also necessitated a thermal expansion tank, according to Robert Mathias, Bend’s building division manager. Mathias said

just over 13,000 of Bend’s single- family residences were built in this time. According to census data, that’s close to two-thirds of all the residences in Bend. Rentals and houses that have been bought or sold in the last eight years should also be equipped with both devices. Anyone not sure about their own system can call the Permit Center of the city’s building division at 541388-5580 and ask to speak to a plan examiner or an inspector, Mathias said. The city’s project to install radio meters and backflow prevention devices on all of Bend’s residences began this year and should be complete sometime in 2016, said Rick Olson, Bend’s water conservation program manager. Letters are being sent to residents in advance of the new work being done on their homes. The letters notify water customers of the change and warn of the necessity for installing a thermal expansion tank at the same time. The meters will also be installed on commercial properties.

Safety first Although avoiding a hot water tank overflow due to thermal expansion may be the biggest concern for residents, it is a relatively small concern for the city compared with the possibility of something really bad getting into the water system. “Let’s say that you’re out washing your car and the hose is in the bucket of soapy water — or let’s say it’s a bucket of pesticides,” Olson said. “If a mainline break happens (lowering the pressure in the city system), everything in that bucket is going to end up in the mainline. There’s a lot of really dedicated folks who run a 24/7 operation to deliver a very high level of safe drinking water. If there is a backflow incident that puts something into the water that affects even one customer, that’s not acceptable.” Olson said the initial outlay, half of which is covered by a federal stimulus grant, is worthwhile because the radio meters will save the city money, and the backflow assemblies will keep the city’s water safe. The new meters could save the city close to $150,000 a year when the need for the contract with Creative Utilities, the company that currently provides the city with meter readers, is eliminated, according to Steven Vieira, the head of Bend’s safe drinking water program. The new meters will also save money by keeping city-owned vehicles off the road and by providing more accurate information that will allow the public works department to respond more efficiently to customer service requests, Olson said. City Councilor Jodie Barram said she thought the amount of money the city would save was well worth it to improve water safety and utility maintenance efficiency. She noted that Redmond already has such a system in place. “I’m excited to see (Bend) get up to speed,” she said. Lillian Mongeau can be reached at 541-617-7818 or at lmongeau@bendbulletin.com.

also talked about plans for the next school year. The young sailor continued to blog after being rescued more than 2,000 miles west of Australia two days after a wave broke the mast of her boat, Wild Eyes, satellite phone communication was lost and she set off emergency beacons. “Crazy is the word that really describes everything that has happened best,” she wrote Saturday morning from “a great big fishing boat headed I am not exactly sure where.” She will spend more than a week traveling to Reunion Island, a French territory east of Madagascar. “The long and the short of it is, well, one long wave, and one short mast,” she wrote. She dismissed criticism that she was too young to undertake an attempt to sail around the world by herself. “As for age, since when does age create gigantic waves and storms?” she wrote.

SIBA, Iraq — The Shatt al Arab, the river that flows from the biblical site of the Garden of Eden to the Persian Gulf, has turned into an environmental and economic disaster that Iraq’s newly democratic government is almost powerless to fix. Withered by decades of dictatorial mismanagement and then neglect, by drought and the thirst of Iraq’s neighbors, the river formed by the convergence of the Tigris and the Euphrates no longer has the strength to keep the sea at bay. The salt water of the gulf now pushes up the Faw peninsula. Last year, for the first time in memory, it extended beyond Basra, Iraq’s biggest port city, and even Qurna, where the two rivers meet. It has ravaged fresh-water fisheries, livestock, crops and groves of date palms that once made the area famous, forcing the migration of tens of thousands of farmers. In a land of hardship, resignation and deep faith, the disaster along the Shatt al Arab appears to some as the work of a higher power. “We can’t control what God does,” said Rashid Thajil Mutashar, the deputy director of water resources in Basra. But man has had a hand in the river’s decline. Turkey, Syria and Iran have all harnessed the headwaters that flow into the Tigris and Euphrates and ultimately into the Shatt al Arab, leaving Iraqi officials with little to do but plead for them to release more from their modern networks of dams. The environmental problem became particularly acute last year when Iran cut the flow entirely from the Karun River, which meets the Shatt south of Basra, for 10 months. The flow resumed after the winter rains, but at a fraction of earlier levels. The encroaching salt has so polluted supplies of drinking water that the government has scrambled to dig canals from the north that bypass the Shatt — Prime

Minister Nouri al-Maliki inaugurated one ahead of this year’s national election — and to truck in fresh water to much of the region. Anyone who can afford it avoids tap water, which is salty enough to leave spots on a glass when it dries. Mutashar said that Iraq’s acceptable level of salt in the Shatt’s fresh water was 1,500 parts per million; last year the level reached 12,000. Faris Jassim al-Imara, a chemist at the University of Basra’s Marine Science Center, said he recorded levels as high as 40,000 parts per million, as well as heavy metals and other pollutants flowing from the north and from Iran’s oil refinery at Abadan, where enormous pipes steadily discharge waste water. “It’s killing the river and the people,” he said. Here in Siba, across the river from Abadan, the salt water is slowly destroying agriculture, the primary source of income other than oil. Jalal Fakhir, who with his brothers farms a plot of land that has been in his family for decades, lost his grape vines, five apricot trees, and his entire crop of okra, cucumbers and eggplants. The new date palms he planted two years ago have died; the older ones have held on, but their branches are yellowing, while the annual crop of dates has become meager. Walking in his emaciated groves, he said, “This used to be paradise.”

Continued from A1 A medical team led by Nina Paynter of Brigham and Women’s Hospital in Boston collected 101 genetic variants that had been statistically linked to heart disease in various genome-scanning studies. But the variants turned out to have no value in forecasting disease among 19,000 women who had been followed for 12 years. The old-fashioned method of taking a family history was a better guide, Paynter reported this February in The Journal of the American Medical Association. In announcing on June 26, 2000, that the first draft of the human genome had been achieved, Clinton said it would “revolutionize the diagnosis, prevention and treatment of most, if not all, human diseases.” At a news conference, Francis Collins, then the director of the genome agency at the National Institutes of Health, said that genetic diagnosis of diseases would be accomplished in 10 years and that treatments would start to roll out perhaps five years after that. “Over the longer term, perhaps in another 15 or 20 years,” he added, “you will see a complete transformation in therapeutic medicine.”

‘Science, not medicine’ The pharmaceutical industry has spent billions of dollars to reap genomic secrets and is starting to bring several genome-guided drugs to market. While drug companies continue to pour huge amounts of money into genome research, it has become clear that the genetics of most diseases are more complex than anticipated and that it will take many more years before new treatments may be able to transform medicine. “Genomics is a way to do science, not medicine,” said Harold Varmus, president of the Memorial Sloan-Kettering

Cancer Center in New York, who in July will become the director of the National Cancer Institute. The last decade has brought a flood of discoveries of disease-causing mutations in the human genome. But with most diseases, the findings have explained only a small part of the risk of getting the disease. And many of the genetic variants linked to diseases, some scientists have begun to fear, could be statistical illusions. The Human Genome Project was started in 1989 with the goal of sequencing, or identifying, all 3 billion chemical units in the human genetic instruction set, finding the genetic roots of disease and then developing treatments. With the sequence in hand, the next step was to identify the genetic variants that increase the risk for common diseases like cancer and diabetes. It was far too expensive at that time to think of sequencing patients’ whole genomes. So the National Institutes of Health embraced the idea for a clever shortcut, that of looking just at sites on the genome where many people have a variant DNA unit. But that shortcut appears to have been less than successful. The theory behind the shortcut was that since the major diseases are common, so too would be the genetic variants that caused them. Natural selection keeps the human genome free of variants that damage health before children are grown, the theory held, but fails against variants that strike later in life, allowing them to become quite common. In 2002, the National Institutes of Health started a $138 million project called the HapMap to catalog the common variants in European, East Asian and African genomes. With the catalog in hand, the second stage was to see if any of the variants were more common in the patients with a given disease than in healthy people. These studies required large numbers of patients and cost several million dollars apiece. Nearly 400 of them had

THE BULLETIN • Sunday, June 13, 2010 A7 been completed by 2009. The upshot is that hundreds of common genetic variants have now been statistically linked with various diseases. But with most diseases, the common variants have turned out to explain just a fraction of the genetic risk. It now seems more likely that each common disease is mostly caused by large numbers of rare variants, ones too rare to have been cataloged by the HapMap.

Disease implications Defenders of the HapMap and genome-wide association studies say that the approach made sense because it is only now becoming cheap enough to look for rare variants, and that many common variants do have roles in diseases. At this point, some 850 sites on the genome, most of them near genes, have been implicated in common diseases, said Eric Lander, director of the Broad Institute in Cambridge, Mass., and a leader of the HapMap project. “So I feel strongly that the hypothesis has been vindicated,” he said. But most of the sites linked with

diseases are not in genes — the stretches of DNA that tell the cell to make proteins — and have no known biological function, leading some geneticists to suspect that the associations are spurious. Many of them may “stem from factors other than a true association with disease risk,” wrote Jon McClellan and Mary-Claire King, geneticists at the University of Washington, Seattle, in the April 16 issue of the journal Cell. The new switch among geneticists to seeing rare variants as the major cause of common disease is “a major paradigm shift in human genetics,” they wrote. The only way to find rare genetic variations is to sequence a person’s whole genome, or at least all of its gene-coding regions. That approach is now becoming feasible because the cost of sequencing has plummeted, from about $500 million for the first human genome completed in 2003 to costs of $5,000 to $10,000 that are expected next year.

Fire season rules take effect By Kate Ramsayer The Bulletin

Despite the recent cool and wet weather, more areas across the state are moving into fire season and imposing new regulations in certain districts. The Oregon Department of Forestry has announced that its fire season regulations start Tuesday in Klamath and Lake counties — the Central Oregon district started its fire season at the beginning of June. “It’s time to start thinking about taking extra care, making sure those debris piles are out,” said Kevin Benton, unit forester

with the agency’s Central Oregon district. “Otherwise, they’ll come back to haunt us.” For the forestry department, fire season means that on lands protected by the agency, which include state forests, private and county lands, anyone wanting to ignite an open burn has to get a special permit, Benton said, although campfires are allowed. In Deschutes County, to be consistent with regulations from the fire chiefs, all open burning is banned to help prevent escaping fires, Benton said. The U.S. Forest Service and

other agencies are getting ready for fire season as well, and starting guard school to train rookie firefighters on Monday, said Chris Hoff, interagency fire management officer. But based on measurements of the dryness and flammability of fuels, there’s not currently much danger of wildfires, he said. “Fire danger is low, and we don’t anticipate a whole lot happening through the month of June, based on the recent moisture and how green everything is,” Hoff said. Still, all the rain has also led to lots of grass, which means more

fuel for fires on the ground once it dries out. Although fire predictions for the summer have changed — earlier forecasts called for a dry spring — the current outlook calls for things to warm up and dry out in July and August, he said. “If things turn hot and dry, we can have a pretty active year,” Hoff said. “It won’t be early, it may be a little bit late, but it could be pretty active.” Kate Ramsayer can be reached at 541-617-7811 or kramsayer@bendbulletin.com.

Community weed-pulling event brings out volunteers across region By Scott Hammers The Bulletin

y 11 a.m. Saturday, Kailey Koomen had seen more than enough cheatgrass, knapweed and toadflax to last her a lifetime. Taking a break from yanking up weeds along the West Bend Trail near Summit High School in Bend, Kailey, 10, said the Let’s Pull Together community weed pull had been fun and informative,

but she was looking forward to calling it a day. “I’ve learned that cheatgrass grows a lot, because I’ve been pulling cheatgrass for a while,” said Kailey. Kailey’s grandmother, Janice Railton, 58, said the morning had been a productive start to the weekend for both of them. “It’s a great alternative to cartoons,” said Railton.

• RELEASING MONEY FROM THE OIL SPILL LIABILITY TRUST FUND

WASHINGTON — Lawmakers couldn’t schedule enough hearings and press conferences this week to voice their disapproval of everyone involved with the catastrophic oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico. For U.S. Sen. Ron Wyden, D-Ore., that’s entailed warning BP and drilling contractor Transocean not to hand out big dividends before they’ve paid their share of the cleanup costs. Sen. Jeff Merkley, D-Ore., meanwhile, traveled to Louisiana to see the damage for himself, along with Democratic Sens. Ben Cardin and Barbara Mikulski of Maryland and Republican David Vitter of Louisiana. Here’s how Oregon’s lawmakers voted last week.

Passed 410-0 on Thursday. The bill allows the president to release $100 million increments from the fund to continue cleanup operations for oil gushing from the Deepwater Horizon well in the Gulf of Mexico. Currently, the government is allowed to spend only $150 million annually from the fund, a figure that was projected to be used up in coming weeks. The U.S. Senate is working on a separate version of the bill.

U.S. House Passed 406-4 on Thursday. The bill would allow the FHA to charge higher monthly mortgage insurance premiums on loans it guarantees, which would generate about $300 million a month, while costing borrowers an average of $42 each month. It also gives the FHA more power not to reimburse lenders who don’t meet the agency’s underwriting standards or have high default rates. The bill now goes to the U.S. Senate.

The reward, for those who aren’t driven to pull weeds for the sake of pulling weeds, came at noon when volunteers wrapped up the day with a complimentary barbecue. See Weeds / B7

O B Heavy rain adds power to Columbia PORTLAND — Heavy spring rain has forced the Bonneville Power Administration to give away some surplus hydropower, reduce generation at other power plants and fill reservoirs for migrating fish. The late rain has challenged BPA managers, who were issuing warnings about summer water shortages just a month ago. Precipitation levels jumped to 700 percent of normal in some areas of the Snake River Basin and 170 to 200 percent of normal on the upper Willamette River. During the last few days, the 31 federally operated hydroelectric dams in the Northwest have been running full tilt, generating an average of 13,000 megawatts of electricity. The power boost is 144 percent of normal spring generation — the equivalent of adding four nuclear plants worth of electricity.

Eugene offers cleanup duty to pay back fines EUGENE — Fines from misdemeanors or traffic tickets can be paid off in Eugene by doing a little work for the city under a new program that will start in about a week. Some of the jobs to pay off

fines issued by the Eugene Municipal Court will include removing litter from downtown sidewalks and eliminating graffiti. City officials say up to five people will work downtown for three hours each weekday. Only people who are fined for offenses will be eligible for the community service. Nobody sentenced to jail will qualify. The program was approved after complaints about debris left on downtown sidewalks, including an e-mail from Eugene Mayor Kitty Piercy to other city officials.

New NW state director of housing selected ASTORIA — The Northwest Oregon Housing Authority in Warrenton has named a New Mexico man its new executive director after a national search. Todd Johnston is the housing program coordinator for the city of Albuquerque Housing Services, where he administers the federal rental assistance program for more than 4,000 households. He previously worked as a tenant programs coordinator for the British Columbia Housing Management Commission. He will take over the Oregon agency on July 16 from Carol Snell, who is retiring. — From wire reports

Michael Jackson acquitted in 2005 child molestation trial Lane County rejects The Associated Press Today is Sunday, June 13, the 164th day of 2010. There are 201 days left in the year. TODAY’S HIGHLIGHT IN HISTORY On June 13, 1966, the Supreme Court issued its landmark Miranda v. Arizona decision, ruling that criminal suspects had to be informed of their constitutional right to consult with an attorney and to remain silent before being questioned by police.

T O D AY IN HISTORY

FIVE YEARS AGO A jury in Santa Maria, Calif., acquitted Michael Jackson of molesting a 13-year-old cancer survivor at his Neverland ranch. The Supreme Court warned prosecutors to use care in striking minorities from juries, siding with black murder defendants in Texas and California who contended their juries had been unfairly stacked with whites. The Senate apologized for blocking anti-lynching legislation in the early 20th century, when mob violence against blacks was commonplace.

ON THIS DATE In 1886, King Ludwig II of Bavaria drowned in Lake Starnberg. In 1927, aviation hero Charles Lindbergh was honored with a ticker-tape parade in New York City. In 1935, James Braddock claimed the title of world heavyweight boxing champion from Max Baer in a 15-round fight in Long Island City, N.Y. “Becky Sharp,” the first movie photographed in “three-strip” Technicolor, opened in New York. In 1944, Germany began launching flying-bomb attacks against Britain during World War II. In 1957, the Mayflower II, a replica of the ship that brought the Pilgrims to America in 1620, arrived at Plymouth, Mass., after a nearly two-month journey from England. In 1967, President Lyndon B. Johnson nominated SolicitorGeneral Thurgood Marshall to become the first black justice on the U.S. Supreme Court. In 1971, The New York Times began publishing excerpts of the Pentagon Papers, a secret study of America’s involvement in Vietnam. In 1981, a scare occurred during a parade in London when a teenager fired six blank shots at Queen Elizabeth II. In 1983, the U.S. space probe Pioneer 10, launched in 1972, became the first spacecraft to leave the solar system as it crossed the orbit of Neptune. In 1996, the 81-day-old Freemen standoff ended as 16 remaining members of the antigovernment group surrendered to the FBI and left their Montana ranch.

EUGENE — Lane County elections officials have rejected a request from superintendent of public instruction candidate Ron Maurer to recount some Oregon primary ballots. The unofficial statewide tally gives incumbent Susan Castillo an outright majority of just over 50 percent, resulting in her re-election as state school superintendent. But Maurer, a Republican state representative from Grants Pass,

submitted a recount request Friday to check whether Castillo could benefit from possible irregularities in the ballot format on many Lane County ballots. Maurer said the way some ballots were printed could result in an indentation on the spot to be marked for Castillo if a “no” vote was cast on a countywide measure on the other side of the ballot. But Lane County officials said ballots had already been inspected by hand.

O Authorities widen search for missing Portland boy By Nigel Duara The Associated Press

Photos by Arkasha Stevenson / The Oregonian

Christina Schmidt finishes a project for her social studies/English class on June 3 in Portland. Last winter, the 15-year-old raised more than $16,000 to help fund a secondary school in Cambodia. Now, she and her 13-year-old brother have raised $2,000, which they’ll donate to Habitat for Humanity — they’ll be traveling with their family to build a house in Guatemala this month.

Portland teen raises money to build Cambodian school By Carolina Hidalgo The Oregonian

PORTLAND — On a tidy shelf in a bright turquoise bedroom in southwest Portland sits a framed certificate from the Cambodian Ministry of Education. It is written in Khmer, the official language of the Southeast Asian nation, except for a name: Christina Schmidt. The document, essentially a fancy thank-you note, was presented to the 15-year-old last winter in a tiny village about a day’s drive northwest of Phnom Penh after she helped raise more than $16,000 to build a secondary school in the impoverished country. “I feel like it’s part of my duty to give back and to help others who aren’t as lucky as I’ve been,” Christina said. Now, as she wraps up her freshman year at Lincoln High School, the teen with a passion for nonprofit work and a knack for raising money is preparing for her next project: a family Habitat for Humanity trip to Guatemala. She and her 13-yearold brother, Andrew, have raised $2,000 to put toward construction supplies. They will donate their time to build a house with the family that will live in it. Christina, sitting at her dining room table, traces her interest in humanitarian work to a 2007 family vacation to Vietnam and Laos that introduced her to life in developing countries. She got involved with Cambodia a few months later while considering what do the next year for her eighth-grade project, required of students at Arbor School of Arts & Sciences, the private school she attended in Tualatin. An e-mail from her dad held the answer. It contained a news article about a girl who raised thousands of dollars for Ameri-

Christina Schmidt, 15, says, “I feel like it’s part of my duty to give back and to help others who aren’t as lucky as I’ve been.” can Assistance for Cambodia, a nonprofit that builds schools. As soon as she read it, she rushed downstairs to her dad’s home office. “This is what I want to do,” she told him. “I want to do this.” Her excitement surprised her father, David Schmidt, a pulmonary specialist at Kaiser Sunnyside Medical Center. “I didn’t intend for her to do that exact project,” he said. “But she grabbed onto it kind of like grabbing a bull by the horns.” Before jumping in, Christina tracked down and pored over American Assistance for Cambodia’s tax records. “They use every single cent that they get so well,” she said. She also learned that if she could raise $13,000, it would be matched with $20,000 from the World Bank and Asian Development Bank — enough to build a school.

Next, Christina had to track down a professional to work with, a requirement of her school. She found a mentor in Kim Freed, former managing director of the Oregon Zoo Foundation, who had years of fundraising experience. Freed said she was nervous when she heard that Christina planned to raise $13,000 in nine months. “But I could tell by her determination and her energy that she was going to see it happen,” Freed said. “I was very much inspired by her.” Bernie Krisher, former Newsweek Tokyo bureau chief and founder of American Assistance for Cambodia, said schoolchildren often work together to raise money to build schools, but only a very few can accomplish the goal on their own. “They are very compassionate,” Krisher, who has corresponded with Christina by e-mail, said of children who devote time and money to advancing education around the world. “They’re going to contribute a great deal and learn a lot, and probably succeed in life.” Christina kicked off a 300-letter fundraising campaign and secured small grants from two foundations. Then, during her 2008 winter break, her family traveled to Cambodia on vacation, and Christina got the chance to visit an American Assistance school. Interacting with the students brought her project to a “whole other level,” she said. Christina and her father returned to Cambodia a year later to attend a dedication ceremony for the school she helped pay for: The Arbor School of Hope. In the end, she raised $16,235.14.

PORTLAND — The search for a missing 7-year-old Portland boy grew larger on Saturday as teams spent another day combing the hills and deep woods near a rural elementary school. Second-grader Kyron Horman disappeared on June 4 sometime after a science fair at Skyline Elementary School. Saturday was the ninth day searchers spent looking for him. “The search continues, and it expands to previously unsearched areas,” Capt. Monte Reiser of the Multnomah County Sheriff’s Office said at a news conference. He declined to say whether the expanded areas are contiguous with the two-mile radius around the school on which search teams have focused. Men and women in fluorescent-colored vests and T-shirts were seen on the roads and in the hills near the school on Saturday. After fielding multiple interview requests, Kyron’s family gave a statement Friday. His father and stepfather made emotional pleas for his return, with his mother and stepmother present. It was the family’s first public appearance since the boy’s disappearance. “That was very, very stressful for the family to come through,” said Capt. Mike Shults, who is serving as the sheriff’s office liaison to the family. The family also released a statement in response to email questions that described Kyron as fun-loving and quiet. The statement, read by Shults, said Kyron loves to fish, and hopes to be a police investigator when he grows up. Sgt. Diana Olsen, search and rescue coordinator for the sheriff’s office, said there were about 300 trained rescuers on the ground Saturday, about 100 more than were present during the week. Searchers got a break with the sunny weather, a change from the rain and chilly temperatures that had plagued them all week. Police have not changed the classification on Kyron’s dis-

appearance from a “missing endangered child,” but they haven’t ruled out a criminal investigation. Olsen said Saturday that search teams feel they’re making progress. “We know where he’s not,” Olsen said. “That means we’re getting closer to where he is.” Olsen said some areas are searched by teams with dogs, then searched by horseback and finally searched again by “grid searches,” the slow, methodical process of looking for clues or tracks. She added that the search has no fixed end date. “This is a large search area out here, and you’re talking about a 7year-old boy,” Olsen said. Olsen said the search is approaching the largest ever conducted by the county. Steve Rollins of Portland Mountain Rescue said searching for a missing person begins with containing the area when the disappearance is reported. Rescuers then turn to a “hasty team,” which does a quick search focused more on covering ground than examining the area. “When you think you’ve kind

of exhausted your hasty team, you turn to a grid search,” Rollins said. “They walk side by side, looking for any clue: footprints, a candy wrapper.” Rollins said his nonprofit search-and-rescue outfit has been called to assist with the search, but he hasn’t been directly involved. Rollins said he couldn’t comment directly on the search for Kyron, but said generally, by this late in the search, those preliminary options have been tried out. “When you get into these later stages, they’ve kind of exhausted those methods,” Rollins said.

Y E S T E R D AY

For the week ending June 12, 1910 END OF RAILS WILL BE HERE Bend is to be the end-of-therails terminus of the Oregon Trunk Railway. Such is the result of last week’s action in the Central Oregon railroad field. Such action was the temporary abandonment of construction work south of Bend and the cancellation of part of the contract let to H.C. Henry of Seattle. The step was brought about by the unsettled financial condition in the East, it being understood that the “closeness” of money necessitated some curtailment of construction activities. One important feature of this move will be the material hastening of the completion of work to Bend. From the outset, great difficulty has been experienced in securing nearly an adequate amount of labor, and now, with the operating distance cut in half the amount of available labor for the Madras-Bend stretch will be doubled, and the work rushed all the faster. While the official statements issued have spoken of the work as ceasing at Bend, it is now definitely known that the clearing and grading contact from this point south for 12 miles, let to Chew & Silke, will remain in force. The work lying between Bend and the lava is the heaviest encountered south of Madras. The contract calls for the completion of the grade only, and, according to those in authority, if further work south of the lava is postponed until the railroad reaches Bend, as seems probable, the rails will not be laid beyond this point. But all operations, both on the east and west line, will be conducted from here. It is understood that certain of the engineer’s and survey camps between here and Klamath Agency have been moved south, apparently to carry on the work of permanently locating the line toward California, while others have been withdrawn from the field. The work of clearing rightof-way, which had been commenced at several points south of Bend, has been abandoned for the present.

75 YEARS AGO For the week ending June 12, 1935 ARRANGING THE HEAVENS Not entirely satisfied with a majestic arch of futuristic design that will stretch across the river below the Drake Park footbridge, nor with the fountains of light that will illuminate the west bank of the mirror pond, the committee in charge of Bend’s 1935 water pageant, so we have been told, has arranged for an unusual celestial scene for the late evening of July 4. On that evening, a beautiful crescent and star will hang in the western skies. To the thousands massed along the east side of the mirror pond, from the bridge down past Drake Park point, the crescent and star will hang directly above the great arch, through which the gayly decorated floats will glide into the stream behind the royal barge holding the celebration queen and her attendants. It has taken no little work to arrange this celestial spectacle for the late evening of July 4, Walter G. Peak, chairman of the pag-

eant committee reports. On that evening, the crescent moon will be only four days old. Its starry companion will be lustrous Venus, also a crescent when viewed through a telescope. Brilliant Venus will be just a little north of the thin, new moon, about 4 degrees distant. Very careful calculations were required to arrange properly this extra show for the water pageant, crowning feature of the Fourth of July celebration, the committee in charge intimates. One day sooner and the moon and Venus would have been entirely too far apart. One day later and the crescent would be well up the evening sky, a bit too remote for the bright evening “star” to be unusual or spectacular. But when deep twilight comes to the Deschutes Basin on the evening of July 4 and thousands of people take their places along the banks of Bend’s picturesque mirror pond, the setting will be ideal — a crescent and star in the western heavens above a mighty arch thrown into relief through the use of subdued lights. Through this big arch will come the royal barge. There was no such beautiful setting as this, even for Cleopatra in those days when she dazzled the rulers of Rome as she drifted in queenly splendor down the Nile.

50 YEARS AGO For the week ending June 12, 1960 QUAKE AGAIN ROCKS CHILE A powerful earthquake rocked already devastated southern Chile again today. It fortunately was centered in a sparsely populated area. The Seismological Institute said the new sharp temblor was registered at grade 7 on the Richter scale. It centered at Puerto Eden in an interior area where few people live. Scientists said the earth shock was felt over a 430-mile strip between Puerto Aysen and Puerto Natales. SILVER LAKE-FORT ROCK AREA SOON TO HAVE PHONE SERVICE By Phil F. Brogan Isolated from the outside world for years, except by highway, residents of the Silver Lake and Fort Rock regions are soon to be directly connected with Bend by telephone. This was the good news received Tuesday by a group of 41 Bend Chamber of Commerce “tourists” on a day-long bus trip into northern Lake County, with stops at a number of the big ranches that are taking shape in the region once known as the “low desert.” Reclamation of the region is being made possible through the pumping of underground water to thousands of acres in the northern Great Basin embayment. Bonneville power for the pumping was supplied by the Midstate Electric Cooperative, with headquarters at La Pine. Highways came to the lands in the shadow of Fort Rock and the Silver Lake Valley first. Then came the Bonneville power lines. Now telephones for the region have been assured. Within a year, residents of the area, where alfalfa and fields of permanent pasture are green under the old rims in the region once flooded by an ice-age lake, will have telephones.

For the week ending June 12, 1985 FROM THE FARM TO THE SCREEN David Rufkahr spit out a bit of snuff and summed up his acting experience. “Nothing, nothing, nothing. Zero, zero, zero.” But that didn’t keep the Alfalfa hay and cattle farmer from being discovered, a la Lana Turner, by a San Francisco advertising agency last summer. He’s now the spokesman for Bartles & James Premium Wine Cooler. Rufkahr can be seen nightly as Frank Bartles, the fictional co-owner of the Bartles & James Wine Cooler Co., in 30-second spots for the fruit juice and white wine product of the Ernest and Julio Gallo Winery. Rufkahr said the road to stardom began in July when a Eugene-based scout for an advertising firm contacted the Bend Chamber of Commerce in search of farmers to audition for the commercials. Alfalfa farmer Kenny Meltenberger rounded up about 14 of his friends for the test shooting in his barnyard. “It was so hot you couldn’t spit,” Rufkahr recalled. “Kenny’s wife held the cue cards, and we all got up there and read ’em.” The tapes were sent to the agency, Ogilvy & Mather, along with about 700 other screen tests from across the country. Rufkahr said he “kind of forgot about it” until September when the agency called and invited him to San Francisco for more screen tests. “They said all expenses paid and $200 a day, and I said, ‘I’ll be there in the morning,’” Rufkahr said. “They told me it was down to 60 guys. When I got there, there was four of us; two from Illinois and one from Bartlesville, Oklahoma.” After a night of shooting, the two from Illinois were sent home. The next day, Rufkahr and Bill Davies, of Bartlesville, shot more test commercials before Davies was sent home. Rufkahr did a series of radio commercials about two months later while the search continued for the Ed Jaymes character. They found Dick Maugg, a building contractor down the road in Santa Rosa. “It’s kind of a Mutt and Jeff thing,” said Rufkahr, now a member of the Screen Actors Guild. “I’m short and squat, and he’s tall and skinny. He don’t ever say nothing. He’s supposed to be the silent partner.” Rufkahr’s twanging, Midwestern accent and deadpan style were just what the advertising agency was looking for. Ogilvy & Mather won numerous awards with the same common man approach in its Henry Weinhard’s commercials. Rufkahr also has signed a three-year contract, which could make him the Mrs. Olsen of wine coolers. The continuing theme of the commercials is that Bartles and Jaymes combined Bartles’ winery, Jaymes’ orchard and a second mortgage on Jaymes’ house to found their little company, which operates out of a white clapboard house. The two entrepreneurs, always struggling with supply problems, do their own commercials, ostensibly because of a lack of financing.

KANSAS CITY, Mo. — Nola Ochs never set out to break any records. She figured she’d just take a few college courses, give herself a little something to do. Yet there she was, three years ago, walking across the stage at Fort Hays State University and into the history books. At 95, she became the world’s oldest college graduate — a title she held onto until a 96-year-old man in Taiwan nabbed it from her last year. Well, here Nola goes again. Last month, with gobs of family members in the audience wearing gray T-shirts sporting her name and waving the American flags she requested, the great-grandmother of 15 got her master’s degree. Don’t forget, she’s 98 now. “For some reason, I really enjoy walking across that platform and receiving an award,” Ochs said last month in a telephone interview from her one-bedroom apartment on the fringe of the Fort Hays campus in western Kansas. “Maybe I’m a little vain — I don’t want to be, but maybe I am.” Of course, she’s joking. Those who know her say it’s not about vanity at all. “She’s the classic example of a person who learns for the love of learning,” said Kent Steward, a spokesman with Fort Hays State University. “She has just absolutely blossomed in this setting.” When her husband died in

1972, Ochs said she started preparing to die. She just figured with him gone, she’d be gone soon, too. But the grandma from Jetmore, Kan., was still around five years later when she decided to try a tennis course at Dodge City Community College. Being around the other students, teens barely one-fourth her age, Ochs got a feel for college life. So she kept taking classes. Enough for an associate’s degree, and then she left her farm in Jetmore and headed to Fort Hays for a bachelor’s. History professor Raymond Wilson had Ochs for a couple of undergrad classes and in the past three years was her adviser in graduate school. She does everything the other students do. The long papers, the 50-page mini-thesis, class presentations. “She’s one of the top graduate students we have,” Wilson said. “And it’s not like having a knowit-all in class or anything like that.

mouth, everyone listens.” Days before she received her undergraduate diploma in 2007, reporters quizzed the greatgrandmother on where she’d go from there. Settle back on the farm? Relax a little? Maybe, Ochs said, she’d be a storyteller on a cruise ship. Again, she was joking. Then a cruise line called and sent her and her granddaughter, who graduated from Fort Hays with her, on a cruise in the Caribbean. During the cruise, Ochs told stories of her life to vacationers. She laughed. “I tell people, ‘Eat your carrots. Eat your spinach. The 90s are great.’” So, we have to ask it again. After she gets her master’s in liberal studies with a history concentration, what’s next? “Oh, you won’t believe it,” Ochs said. “I’ve enrolled in a summer class. And a couple classes for the fall.” Weekly Arts & Entertainment Inside

Oregon’s quick budget cuts may take a little longer By Tim Fought The Associated Press

PORTLAND — When he announced on May 25 that Oregon’s state treasury was far short of the money it will need to meet payrolls and settle accounts, Gov. Ted Kulongoski said he’d take matters into his own hands, promising “swift and decisive action” to cut spending. But in the nearly three weeks since then, he’s run into thorny problems that may slow and muddy his decisions. Public employee unions balked at wage concessions. His own appointees handed him a stick of political dynamite — a recommendation to close three prisons. His fellow Democrats in the Legislature, with whom

he’s had some testy relations, plan to tweak the budget after the governor is finished. Then there’s Congress, not Kulongoski’s problem but a question mark for Oregon nevertheless. Across the country, states are waiting for the outcome of deliberations over whether Congress will extend some of the help it gave them last year in the stimulus package. In Oregon, the hope among Democrats in control of the Legislature is that congressional aid would stop the bleeding from a sizable portion of the $577 million in cuts Kulongoski plans to order, perhaps half or more. The most pressing of Kulongoski’s difficulties arose last week: what to do about the recommendation from his Depart-

The first engine to respond had an equipment problem that prevented it from spraying water on the fire, but the second unit to arrive was able to fight the fire, which was put out within about 40 minutes of when it was reported.

Man sentenced to 20 years in 1987 Portland cold case The Associated Press PORTLAND — A man who strangled a Portland woman 23 years ago has been sentenced to two decades in prison after a police cold case unit matched his DNA to the crime scene. The Oregonian reported that 67-year-old James Samuel Owens pleaded no contest last month to manslaughter in the death of Nancy Eileen Converse, who was 42 at the time. Her body was found in bed at

her apartment by a building superintendent in February 1987. Portland police detectives questioned more than 300 neighbors, friends and others, including Owens, but were unable to link him to the crime. The Portland Police Bureau Cold Case Unit began investigating in 2006, getting a DNA match. But they also had to track down old witnesses. Owens was sentenced Friday in Multnomah County Circuit Court.

A N A LY S I S ment of Corrections to close three of the state’s smaller, minimum-security prisons, set free nearly 1,000 inmates and cut about 230 state jobs. Because it would be widely unpopular, that’s not expected to happen. Kulongoski’s aides said last week he won’t allow it. But the rules that give Kulongoski the option to make only across-the-board cuts among agencies give the governor few alternatives other than to approach the Legislature for help with the corrections budget. There’s little room in that budget, say prison officials, to make a 9 percent cut and still keep 14 institutions open.

Help could come from the Emergency Board, a body of lawmakers empowered to make small budget decisions between sessions of the Legislature. Or it could come from the full Legislature, assembling itself for the second special session of the year and rearranging the budget after the governor has finished ordering cuts. It was the prospect of a special session only a few months before the November elections, and the specter of five rancorous and unproductive sessions in a budget crisis in 2002, that led Kulongoski in late May to say he was unwilling to risk legislative failure and partisan gridlock. “I have learned — and am convinced — that in a situation like this, that the best response

is swift and decisive action,” he said at the time. House Speaker Dave Hunt said last week “there clearly is going to be legislative action to ameliorate the worst of these cuts.” He and Senate President Peter Courtney have said that if there is a session, it will be brief, mainly to ratify an agreement reached beforehand. Either the governor or the Legislature can call a session. Last week, the Democrats beat back a Republican proposal for a session to begin soon. It appears decisions could start flowing about the end of June, the halfway point of the state’s two-year budget cycle. That’s when Kulongoski’s final cut list is due.

Hunt says he’d be shocked if Congress hasn’t given its answer to pleas from the states by then — even if the answer is just inaction. The Legislature still has money it can scare up to minimize cuts. Hunt released an estimate of about $173 million in various reserve and emergency funds, as well as savings from entities not covered by the governor’s order, including the Legislature itself. The Emergency Board is scheduled to meet Tuesday in Salem, but the prisons aren’t on its agenda. Spokesman Rem Nivens said Kulongoski wants to talk to the legislative leadership about timing. “He’s confident that they will be able to work this out,” Nivens said.

Kennedy’s first U.S. Senate campaign by unearthing news that the candidate had been expelled from Harvard for cheating on an exam as an undergraduate, died June 5 at his home in Jupiter, Fla., after a stroke. He was 84. Healy started as a copy boy in the Globe newsroom in the early 1940s and rose to become the paper’s executive editor — the No. 2 newsroom position. As executive editor from 1969 to 1979, Healy helped run the paper’s daily operation and served as a key adviser to the Taylor family, longtime owners of the Globe. He also spent many years writing a column, Political Circuit. In 1966, Healy was part of a Globe team that won the paper’s first Pulitzer Prize for public service, for its coverage of Boston municipal court Judge Francis X. Morrissey’s nomination to the federal bench.

Marvin, youngest of Isley Brothers, dies at 56 By Karen Hawkins The Associated Press

CHICAGO — Marvin Isley, the bass player who helped give R&B powerhouse the Isley Brothers their distinctive sound, has died at a Chicago hospital. He was 56. Isley died June 6 at an inpatient hospice at Weiss Memorial Hospital, according to hospital spokeswoman Catherine Gianaro. Isley stopped performing in 1996 after suffering complications from diabetes that included a stroke, high blood pressure, the loss of both legs and use of his left hand. He joined his brothers’ band in 1973. By that time, the Isley Brothers had established themselves with hits like 1959’s “Shout,” which sold more than 1 million records. Isley splintered off to form Isley-Jasper-Isley in the 1980s and returned to the Isley Brothers in the 1990s. The group was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 1992, and their career has spanned six decades. At one point, there were five Isley brothers in the group, including Marvin. Today, only Ronald Isley is touring full time after a three-year stint in federal prison for tax evasion. The group’s hits included “Twist and Shout,” later recorded by The Beatles, “Love the One You’re With,” and the Grammy-winning 1969 smash, “It’s Your Thing.”

Physicist Hinton chose China over atom bomb By William Grimes New York Times News Service

Joan Hinton, a physicist who worked on the Manhattan Project, which developed the atom bomb, but spent most of her life as a committed Maoist working on dairy farms in China, died Tuesday in Beijing. She was 88. The cause has not yet been determined, but she had an abdominal aneurysm, her son Bill Engst said. Hinton was recruited for the Manhattan Project in February 1944 while still a graduate student in physics at the University of Wisconsin. At the secret laboratory at Los Alamos, N.M., where she worked with Enrico Fermi, she was assigned to a team that built two reactors for testing enriched uranium and plutonium. When the first atom bomb was detonated near Alamogordo, N.M., on July 16, 1945, she and a colleague, riding a motorcycle, dodged Army jeep patrols and hid near a small hill about 25 miles from the blast point to witness the event. “We first felt the heat on our faces, then we saw what looked like a sea of light,” she told The South China Morning Post in 2008. “It was gradually sucked into an awful purple glow that went up and up into a mushroom cloud. It looked beautiful as it lit up the morning sun.” Hinton thought that the bomb would be used for a demonstration explosion to force a Japanese surrender. After the bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki, she became an outspoken peace activist. She sent the mayors of every major city in the United States a small glass case filled with glassified desert sand and a note asking

whether they wanted their cities to suffer the same fate. In 1948, alarmed at the emerging Cold War, she gave up physics and left the United States for China, then in the throes of a Communist revolution she wholeheartedly admired. “I did not want to spend my life figuring out how to kill people,” she told National Public Radio in 2002. “I wanted to figure out how to let people have a better life, not a worse life.” In China, she met her future husband, Erwin Engst, a Cornell-trained dairy-cattle expert, who went on to work on dairy farms as a breeder while she designed and built machinery. During the Cultural Revolution, they were editors and translators in Beijing. Hinton applied her scientific talents to perfecting a continuous-flow automatic milk pasteurizer and other machines. For the past 40 years, she worked on a dairy farm and an agricultural station outside Beijing, tending a herd of about 200 cows. Engst died in 2003. In addition to her son Bill, of Marlboro, N.J., she is survived by another son, Fred Engst, of Beijing; a daughter, Karen Engst, of Pau, France; and four grandchildren. During the McCarthy era, Hinton’s name surfaced as a possible spy and spiller of nuclear secrets after she spoke at a peace conference in Beijing. Rear Adm. Ellis Zacharias denounced her in a 1953 article for Real magazine titled “The Atom Spy Who Got Away.” There was never any evidence to show that Hinton passed secrets or did any work as a physicist in China.

Neurologist Plum advanced study of consciousness By Lawrence K. Altman New York Times News Service

Dr. Fred Plum, a neurologist whose pioneering research advanced the understanding of consciousness and the care of comatose patients and who helped coin the term “persistent vegetative state,” died Friday in Manhattan. He was 86. His death, at a hospice, was caused by an Alzheimer’s-like disease known as primary progressive aphasia, said his wife, Susan. Plum, who was treating former President Richard Nixon when he died in 1994, was a university professor and former chairman of the department of neurology at Weill Cornell Medical School and New York-Presbyterian Hospital. He lived in Manhattan. Plum’s immensely influential research improved the diagnosis and treatment of patients who lose consciousness from head injuries, strokes, metabolic disorders and drug overdoses. Dr. Joseph Fins, chief of medical ethics at the Cornell medical school, said Plum had “opened up a vista of understanding about how the brain works and how consciousness becomes disordered, raising the possibility that there might be something to do about it.” Plum and Dr. Byron Jennett, a neurosurgeon in Glasgow, coined the term “persistent vegetative state” in the 1970s; Plum alone coined the term “locked-in syndrome.” “In persistent vegetative state, patients look conscious but are unconscious,” said Dr. Jerome Posner, who was Plum’s professional partner for more than 40 years. “In the locked-in state, patients look unconscious but are conscious.” Cases of persistent veg-

etative state have become more common with the development of technology that keeps alive many people who would once have died. And the use of new technology has expanded the definition of the state. Using MRI scans, European researchers reported earlier this year that a 29year-old man who was mute and immobile in a vegetative state could communicate in response to simple questions. The new findings do not negate the concept of vegetative state, Posner said, but “it means that our diagnoses are not as accurate as we used to think they were.” Plum was an advocate for the right of terminally ill patients to determine their treatment and when that treatment should be stopped. “His passionate belief in the right of an individual to define his own quality of life and to die with dignity allowed him to see the treatment choices from the view of the patient, rather than as simply a challenge for the physician,” Susan Plum said. Plum argued for the use of living wills, so that if patients were unconscious or otherwise unable to communicate they could still ensure that their wishes concerning terminal care were carried out. In 1975, Plum was an expert witness in the widely publicized case of Karen Ann Quinlan, who had entered a vegetative state after consuming alcohol and Valium but who did not leave a directive about her care. (After a New Jersey court ruling, she was disconnected from a respirator and surprisingly lived until 1985.)

Mildred “Mickey” Klein August 27, 1933 - June 1, 2010

Mildred “Mickey” Klein, (76), died June 1, 2010, in Prineville, OR after making no concessions to a diagnosis of cancer. Born in Bend, OR on August 27, 1933, to George and Inez Roberts, she lived in Kinzua and Fossil before moving to Portland during WWII. She learned to fly a plane before she was old enough to drive. Formerly a working mother and successful business woman, she began as an Avon representative during the Kennedy era, then worked for Montgomery Wards for many years before moving on to the insurance industry. After retiring to Prineville in 1996, she followed her passion for the outdoors, trekking to Machu Picchu and the Peruvian Andes, riding with Mongolian horsemen in the Gobi Desert, helicopter skiing in Montana, and scuba diving in Hawaii. She was active in the Central Oregon Nordic Club and served for a time on the board of the Archaeological Society of Central Oregon. She volunteered as an archaeological site steward for the United States Forest Service. She found time to be a spinner, weaver, and was well known in Oregon machine knitting circles. She was also a self-taught desktop publisher; her annual calendars guided and entertained friends and family for many years.

Wilma Campbell, 76, of Bend, right, picks up two tumbleweeds, or Russian thistle, while working with others during a noxious weed cleanup operation by volunteers around a west Bend running trail Saturday morning.

Weeds Continued from B1 Sponsorships have allowed Howard to expand the barbecues into full-fledged parties, complete with live bands and door prizes to go with the free food and drink. If you want to get people out of the house to spend their Saturday digging in the dirt, you’ve got to offer them something extra, Howard said, and the barbecue seems to do the trick. “In Central Oregon, never underestimate the draw of free beer,” she said. Ruth Zdanowicz, a master gardener with the Oregon State University Extension Service, has helped with the event since the beginning, educating volunteers on the particulars of different invasive plants. Zdanowicz said many people don’t realize

that invasive plants aren’t just unsightly, they outcompete native plants, and can dramatically and rapidly alter an environment if not addressed. “Every time you displace a native wildflower, a native shrub that provides forage for wildlife or nectar for wild birds, you’re displacing an entire ecosystem,” she said. Tumbleweeds, more properly known as Russian thistle, are one of the most aggressive weeds currently found in Central Oregon. Their rapid growth and prolific seed production — a seed grows to a mature plant in just one season, producing up to 220,000 new seeds — makes Russian thistle all but impossible to stop, Zdanowicz said. The seeds can stay dormant in the soil for years, waiting for a chance to sprout when digging or some other disturbance

brings them to the surface. Crouching in the dust, Zdanowicz pointed to a collection of green shoots, a near meadow created by hundreds of tiny Russian thistle plants. By fall, many of them will be 2 and 3 feet high, she said, and ready to reproduce. Some will migrate west into the forest by attaching their seeds to the clothing of mountain bikers headed up to Phil’s Trail, she said, or east into the desert, the dried-out plants carried underneath passing cars or driven by the wind. “It can be kind of overwhelming,” Zdanowicz said. “But every little bit helps. You can start in your yard, your alley or your neighborhood block.” Julie McMullin, 39, brought her three children out to pull weeds with their Roots and Shoots community service club. While the club members’ interest level ebbed and flowed — some children dug for caterpillars among the grasses, while others bashed ants on the bike path with the back side of a shovel —

McMullin said she’s hopeful her kids would come away from the day with a new appreciation for the local landscape. “I’ve heard about noxious weeds forever, but I never had anyone to teach me,” she said. “Once the parents learn, we can do a better job as we’re just walking around. And the kids, this gets them thinking about these things while they’re still young.” Fighting back the weeds is an uphill battle, even with unlimited resources, and Let’s Pull Together is always on the lookout for new recruits. When a trio of spandex-clad cyclists pedaled past, waving and offering words of encouragement, Zdanowicz pounced. “See you out here next year pulling weeds! You think I’m kidding!” she shouted as the group headed west toward Tumalo Falls. “Never miss an opportunity to snag another volunteer.”

Cello is music to bears’ears

James Poulson / Daily Sitka (Alaska) Sentinel

Sitka Summer Music Festival cellist Armen Ksajikian plays for the resident bears last week at the Fortress of the Bears sanctuary in Sitka, Alaska. Ksajikian was inspired by the acoustics of the converted pulp mill clarifier tank and played a selection of music, including a composition by Hector Berlioz, for the bears. With Ksajikian is Les Kinnear, director of the bear sanctuary.

River of rogues A rafting adventure through the southwestern Oregon wilderness By John Gottberg Anderson For the Bulletin

MERLIN — here’s a riddle in the rafting world that goes something like this: How can you tell if your guide is lying? Answer: His lips are moving. When the guides at Rogue River Rafting Trips suggested to me that my multiday, 45-mile trip through the Southern Oregon wilderness would not involve camping — that on consecutive nights, I would have a private room with a bed and bath in a riverside fishing lodge — I might have been forgiven for doubting their word. They weren’t kidding. My three full days of whitewater rafting were adventuresome, to be sure, but they were no hardship. There were no tents to pitch, no sleeping bags to unfurl, precious few mosquitoes to swat and only a little poison oak to avoid. At the end of each day, my party of 12 (nine paying guests and three river guides) disembarked from our rubber vessels to relax in rustic lodges where home-cooked

The Flora Dell Falls make a charming lunch spot and swimming hole on the lower Rogue River, three miles above the Foster Bar takeout spot. Numerous waterfalls tumble into the Rogue during its entire length.

sion has awarded its 2010 ABC Awards to: • Atelier 6000 print studio and gallery. • Bend High School for Broadway 101. • Friends of the Bend Library. • Randy Johnson for Cascade Theatrical Company’s “La Cage Aux Folles” theatrical portrait photography. • Sean Meehan of Imagine Dance Company. • The Orchard District Neighborhood Association for Laurel Pocket Park. • Bob Wenger for the Pine Nursery off-leash dog trails. • Bend Heroes Foundation for the Bend Heroes Memorial. • Kristi Miller of COTV’s “Good Morning Central Oregon.” • Orvis National Casting Competition on the Orvis Bend Casting Course. The awards were presented at the June 2 Bend City Council meeting. — From staff reports

meals were prepared by capable chefs. For a group of travelers who were all middle-aged and older, this was ideal. Even the guides fit the profile: trip leader Zac Kauffman, the outdoor operations manager of Rogue River Rafting Trips, was the youngster at 45. His companions, Larry Koster and John Leistner, are 54 and 55, respectively. Each of the trio has logged a couple hundred trips on the Rogue River, by raft and by boat, since the 1980s. Experience, then, was not an issue. Veracity was. I was traveling the Rogue with rogues.

Morrison’s rogues Believe what you will. These are a few of the stories I heard from the crew: Koster, the graybeard of the group, is a part-time, solar-energy contractor in his hometown of Ashland. He told me that one of the crowning achievements of his career as a rafting guide was the day he was dubbed, in print, “a patent liar.” See Rogue / C4

Author of Spellman detective series to close tour in Sunriver By David Jasper The Bulletin

Long before she began writing her popular Spellman detective series — chronicling a dysfunctional family of sleuths who trust no one, and least of all, one another — author Lisa Lutz spent two years working in a private investigator’s office. “I worked for a P.I.,” the 40year-old author said by phone last week from her home in San Francisco, stressing that she wasn’t actually a detective herself. “I was the lowest on the totem pole at the office. When busi-

ness was slow, they sent me to the basement to shred files. I would read, of course, take the pictures. I used to have a photo of counterfeit watches that was framed on my wall for years. I don’t know where it is now. I should find out.” She may have been low on the totem pole when it came to investigative work, but when it comes to awards and best-seller lists, Edgar-award nominee Lutz has a great view. Her debut, “The Spellman Files,” was a New York Times best-seller, and Publishers Weekly calls the Spellman adventures “a series

that keeps getting better and better.” The comic novels are set in San Francisco and narrated by Isabel, a former wild child who’s now in her early 30s, working in the family business with her parents, Albert and Olivia, while she contends with her strong-willed little sister, Rae, and close-to-perfect brother, David. If her smarts can’t pull her through, her smart mouth may. Her fourth Spellman book, “The Spellmans Strike Again,” was published in March. See Spellman / C8

Lisa Lutz, author of the popular Spellman detective series, will visit Sunriver to promote the fourth installment.

Husband won’t step up in checkout controversy Dear Abby: I hope you can settle this. I was ahead of my husband — who was pushing the cart — in a grocery store. I found a checkout line that was less busy than the others and got in line. By the time my husband caught up with me, another man was standing behind me, so my husband stood behind him. I signaled my husband to go around the guy so we could unload the cart, but he felt that the guy behind me should go first. Abby, I did not race this guy to get there, and I felt my spouse could have said something like, “Excuse me, my wife is in front of you. Can I go around you?” I ended up giving the stranger (whose cart was full) my place and left the line to find another one, and I am peeved. Am I wrong? I was already in line, so I think that should have counted, even if my husband didn’t get there before the other guy. This has become a huge bone of contention. — Feet Hurt and Tired Dear F, H and T: Actually, I think you are wrong for expecting your husband to take the initiative when you could have done it. All you had to do was give the stranger a warm smile and say, “Excuse me, but the man behind you is my husband. Would you please let him in so we can check out and get the groceries paid for together?” Most people are courteous and would have agreed. Dear Abby: May I address an issue that seems like a no-brainer, but apparently is not? I work in an insurance agency handling financial services. I can’t believe how many people make appointments and don’t show up. Our agency offers excellent service — after-hours and on weekends, as well as weekday appointments. When an appointment is made, we take it seriously. We don’t cancel if it’s inconvenient or we get a “better offer.” We don’t work for free, but we can’t charge you if you don’t

TV picks for the week of June 13-19 By Chuck Barney Contra Costa Times

DEAR ABBY Don’t miss: show up. If you can’t make it, someone else could have your time slot. If you must cancel, please give us as much notice as possible. Let us know if you aren’t coming. Some courtesy is in order here. I don’t mind afterhours appointments, but I deeply resent being away from my family and having a client stand me up. Thank you for letting me get this point across for all insurance agency workers. — Ticked Off in Texas Dear Ticked Off: You’re welcome. The common courtesy you’re asking for should not be reserved for employees of insurance companies, but for everyone. Dear Abby: I started dating a guy eight months ago. I’ll call him Gordon. A few months back, he told me there is a woman living with him. I happen to be very much in love with Gordon. Now I’m confused about why he even started seeing me if he’s living with someone else. Gordon is 58 and I am 39. He swears he loves me. Am I being naive to believe there is a future for us? — Trusting in Findlay, Ohio Dear Trusting: Not necessarily. The woman could be a relative or a platonic friend who is sharing expenses. Ask Gordon if the three of you can have dinner together — perhaps at his place — and find out for yourself. Dear Abby is written by Abigail Van Buren, also known as Jeanne Phillips, and was founded by her mother, Pauline Phillips. Write Dear Abby at www.DearAbby .com or P.O. Box 69440, Los Angeles, CA 90069.

“TRUE BLOOD” — Season 3 of television’s wildest, weirdest drama series picks up right where we left off with Sookie (Anna Paquin) desperate to track down the kidnapped Bill (Stephen Moyer). Meanwhile, Andy (Chris Bauer) urges Jason (Ryan Kwanten) to keep his mouth shut about Eggs’ death, which has left poor, tortured Tara (Rutina Wesley) groggy with grief. The new season of “True Blood” also brings an infusion of new blood in the form of several additional characters, including some sexy werewolves. Can things get even crazier in Bon Temps? We can only hope. 9 tonight, HBO.

TONIGHT: Fans of Christina Aguilera can get a full blast of the pop idol as she headlines new episodes of “Behind the Music” and “Storytellers.” In

Song back from the grave thanks to ‘True Blood’ intro By Andrew Dansby Houston Chronicle

A TV show about vampires brought Jace Everett’s song back from the dead. “Bad Things” wasn’t even a single back in 2006 when Everett released his self-titled debut. Instead, the major label he’d signed with was pushing “That’s the Kind of Love I’m In,” a more radio-friendly song for contemporary country radio stations. That song made a little headway, but Everett’s run in the big leagues was short-lived. Then TV producer Alan Ball found “Bad Things” on iTunes. Now the song is a part of one of the most stylish intros for any active TV show, HBO’s “True Blood.” Everett’s growling voice slips through his brazenly carnal song like a predator. It’s paired with video clips — mostly of a sexual, religious and/or deathly nature — a consummate marriage of sound and visual. “It’s embarrassingly simple,” Everett says of his (and his song’s) sudden fame. “Alan Ball is an iTunes junkie. He discovered the song, and I won the lottery.” Lest Everett seem like a guy who hadn’t paid his dues, the Nashville resident (he was born in Indiana and grew up in Fort Worth) can talk on and on about the rotten jobs he worked over the years. Digging ditches, he says in his molasses-thick voice, wasn’t the worst of them by a long shot. “I feel safe saying that my time washing trucks had no redeeming value at all,” he says. Everett has worked since he was a kid, taking a break to try college, which didn’t work for him. “There was also the job cleaning bricks,” he continues. “You know, they tear down a building, there are people who want the bricks. But somebody’s gotta chip off all that mortar.” Music was always nearby for Everett, particularly in church. He thought he’d found his break

in 2005 when he was signed by Epic in Nashville. But he suggests “Jace Everett” was an album somebody else wanted him to make. Its sound, “Bad Things” being an exception, certainly sounds radio ready. The new “Red Revelations” is a monster album, full of dark songs, yet they’re fanged as often as brooding. And it made it without any outside interference. “Bad Things” was tacked on as a bonus track, but anyone drawn to that song will find a similar cunning mood. Everett’s band (including an ace guitarist in Dan Cohen, whom Everett calls “my partner in crime”) is present, and Austin-based guitarist/producer Chuck Prophet also does some playing and producing. The album better represents what Everett calls his touchstones, acts like Link Wray and Johnny Cash. It’s colored with roots-rock history without the window dressing that would get it tagged retro. It exists in that high-energy netherland that’s a little rootsy for rock and a little dangerous for country. “I think of those guys like Link and Cash as being timeless,” he says. “So I didn’t want to go for a retro thing but a timeless thing. Sorry, but modern country is the antithesis of timeless. Mostly I wanted a record I could be proud of.”

C4 Sunday, June 13, 2010 • THE BULLETIN

C OV ER S T ORY

Rogue Continued from C1 The author, he said, was Geoffrey Kent, founder of the wellknown Abercrombie & Kent travel company. Leistner spoke with pride of his career as an actor, which has taken him from the Oregon Shakespeare Festival to the Oregon Cabaret Theatre. He was once cast as the legendary singer-songwriter Woody Guthrie, whom he vaguely resembles, and he carries a guitar wherever he travels, making up songs about rafting adventures as he goes. More often than not, those lyrics stretch reality like saltwater taffy. Kauffman, a veteran Mount Ashland ski patroller, regaled with stories about blasting mountain cornices with dynamite on 90-second fuses. He also warned us of black bears living near the river that might interrupt our sleep, as they once did to a fellow guide who had cooked flank steak on a camping run. “The bear sniffed this guy as he slept,” Kauffman reported. “Another guide threw pebbles to wake the guide up but hit the bear instead, chasing him away.” When I met Kauffman on a Wednesday night in late May, I gave him the benefit of the doubt. He was, after all, offering his nine rafting guests a lesson in water safety and discussing the proper garb for warmth and flotation. On the eve of our departure, we had gathered for a fourcourse salmon dinner at Morrison’s Lodge, 16 miles west of Grants Pass near the small town of Merlin. Here we stayed for a night and left our vehicles safely parked during our river trip. A shuttle bus returned us to the lodge upon the completion of our voyage. A Rogue River landmark built in 1945, Morrison’s has been the pride of the Hanten family since 1964. The family scion today is 13-year-old Churchill Hanten Crean, to whom longtime general manager Lowell Pratt refers as “my boss.” Young Crean, whose mother and grandparents have died, lives with his father in Hawaii during the school year but spends each summer at Morrison’s. The resort is as much a gateway to the Rogue River wilderness as it is a destination in itself. While the principal rafting season runs from May to September, activity at the lodge lasts well beyond that time frame. From Labor Day through November, the prime pursuit is fishing. So renowned is the autumn run of “half-pounder” steelheads, unique to the Rogue and two Northern California rivers, that avid angler and famed Western writer Zane Grey spent several summers in the 1920s and ’30s in a small cabin on the Rogue’s banks. Runs of chinook and coho salmon frame the main steelhead season. And sturgeon thrive in these waters year-round. My private cabin at Morrison’s was rustic but more than comfortable, with kitchen facilities and a fireplace, as well as a flatscreen television and Internet access, things I wouldn’t see for the next several days. The main lodge, where gourmet meals are prepared by Swiss chef Bruno Jappert morning and night, also has a central sitting area where guests can find extensive literature and photographs, a registration area and a gift shop.

The wild section of the Rogue River narrows into a stark and dramatic gorge known as Mule Creek Canyon just downstream of the Marial Lodge. A combination of rocks and turbulence has earned this section a “Class IV,” or “extremely hazardous,” rating. nally designated in the Wild and Scenic Rivers Act of 1968 (there are now 156 in 42 states), the Rogue rises on the western slopes of Crater Lake National Park. It pours through a narrow gorge above Union Creek and runs 215 miles to the Pacific Ocean at Gold Beach. En route, the river drifts gently through the towns and farmlands of the Rogue Valley, from Medford to Grants Pass, before entering the rugged landscape along the northern edge of the Klamath Mountains. This was where we put in, just below the confluence of the Applegate River with the Rogue. We began with an easy 10 miles through the Hellgate Recreation Area, administered by the Bureau of Land Management. There were no major rapids here, merely a handful of riffles that carried us past the village of Galice. Kauffman briefly pulled off the river at the BLM’s Smullin Visitor Center at Rand National Historic Site, where rafters must register their trips. The site preserves a pioneer U.S. Forest Service station from the 1930s. At Grave Creek, where the road we initially followed disappeared over a hillside, we entered the “wild” section of the Rogue. Here, a parking area signaled the start of the 41-mile Rogue River National Recreation Trail, which would follow the river all the way to our takeout point at Foster Bar. Between May 15 and Oct. 15 each year, 120 daily special-use permits are issued for individual rafters on this section of the river. Just half of the permits are granted to those traveling with commercial outfitters. “They did it right when they enacted this system,” Koster said. “The system works. It would be a different world out here in the middle of summer without restrictions on the numbers of rafters.” It’s unlikely, for instance, that we would have seen as many deer as we saw grazing along the river. We may not have spotted the numbers of great blue herons, belted kingfishers or American dippers flitting along the banks. Almost certainly, we wouldn’t have spotted the black

If you understand how alpine ski runs are rated by difficulty, from green circle to black diamond, you’ll also get the gist of the accepted system for rating whitewater. Class I is the bunny hill of rafting, with small riffles, easy to navigate. Class II offers more dash and splash. The currents are stronger, the waves a little larger, but there’s no particular danger to rafters or kayakers. Class III is intermediate. Let your attention wander, and you could

Kauffman, who is 45, began rafting the river as a college freshman in 1984. bear that quietly drank from the river as we coasted past. Had not one of our party shouted — “Look, everybody, a bear!” — the carnivore might not have disappeared into the wildflowers before we could get our cameras out. But the blossoms themselves were a big attraction. In late May, they lined the shoreline wherever we looked. There were red columbine and Indian paintbrush, purple lupine and larkspur, azaleas, golden iris, fawn lilies and shooting stars. They painted a spectacular canvas that we could enjoy, in particular on this first day of rafting, when our only major obstacle was one that we portaged around: Rainie Falls. We beached our rafts at Black Bar Lodge, 20 miles downstream from the put-in. Built as a fishing lodge in the 1930s, it offered accommodation in rustic wooden cabins. The cabin walls provided homes to little brown bats that kept the mosquito population at bay. Their squeaks stopped at about the time the generators, which provided brief electricity, were turned off at 10 p.m. But the cabins had indoor plumbing and hot showers, and my rafting companions and I were able to warm up before a hearty lodge dinner and a welcome sleep.

Day 2: Rogue history Our second day on the river was one that brought history to life. We covered just 12 miles, far

Day 1: Flora and fauna Wild turkeys scampered across the broad riverside lawn at Morrison’s as we finished a hearty breakfast and walked down to the Rogue to load our rafts. Leistner soloed with oars in the gear boat, which carried our overnight bags and other essentials, while Kauffman and Koster took control of the two paddle rafts, rowing from the stern. Clad in wet suits and bright blue splash jackets (waterproof shells), wrapped in padded orange life jackets, we must have looked like living advertisements for the Denver Broncos. But we were glad for the warmth, as the temperature was in the 50s with periodic showers. Fortunately, the variable weather was not a deterrent to wildlife watching. We were barely on the river when ospreys and bald eagles made their appearance. The white-bellied ospreys swooped from their treetop nests and dove for young trout, plucking them from the stream as we watched in awe. Beyond, ragged-winged turkey vultures circled above the mixed forest of Douglas fir and incense cedar, flowering dogwood and Pacific madrone. One of the eight streams origi-

These rapids have big drops, bigger waves, turbulent holes and nasty undertows should you topple. Class V is expert territory, the double black diamond of the whitewater world. Put simply, mess up and you might die. Class VI is theoretically unnavigable. Just don’t go there. Take my word for it. — John Gottberg Anderson

fewer than the 20 we traveled on our first day out. But the weather was much more cooperative, with temperatures ranging into the 60s and fluffy clouds broken by spells of fractured sunlight. The Black Bar Lodge is the first of several lodges located along the largely inaccessible shoreline of the Rogue wilderness, and it serves as a window to the river’s intriguing history, as offered by the guides. Continued next page

C OV ER S T ORY From previous page Early French trappers dubbed the stream “La Riviere des Coquins” because they considered the native population to be scoundrels, or rogues (in French, “coquins”). The few thousand Takelma Indians who lived here in the mid-1800s were no match for white intruders. The native population was squelched in the brief Rogue River War of 1855-56, with the survivors marched north to what is now the Siletz Indian Reservation near Newport. A smattering of pioneer homesteaders soon found their way into the roadless wilderness. Among them was John Billings, who arrived with his native wife in 1868. By 1892, the Billingses and their 10 children were at home on their Rogue River Ranch, 11 miles downstream from Black Bar. Today, the ranch and its outbuildings constitute a national historic site — including a museum — that is maintained by the BLM and summer-resident caretakers. The fishing lodges followed. Black Bar was built in 1932. Its best-known owners were Bill and Sally Hull, who acquired it in 1960. Their son, Zach, was born that same year. River people still speak in hushed tones when they mention Zach Hull, widely considered the most skilled man ever to navigate the Rogue. He was 34 when he died in a 1995 construction accident. The Black Bar Lodge is owned today by his sister, Vanessa, and her husband, John James. Another famed river pilot was Glen Wooldridge (1896-1986), who began guiding the river in 1917 and is credited as being the first man to run it upstream. Long before others, Wooldridge saw the river’s recreational potential. He designed the style of drift boat widely used today by Rogue fishermen, and — in the days before environmental laws — actively blasted sections of the river to open it for easier passage. Wooldridge’s activities didn’t please all river residents. One in particular, a man named Jack Mahoney, is said to have had the rafting pioneer on his “hit list” in 1947. As Koster told the story, Mahoney had already shot and killed another pioneer fishing guide — Bob Fox, whose cabin still stands beside the river near Battle Bar — and was hiding behind rocks, waiting for Wooldridge to raft pass, when he heard helicopters approaching. Fearing they were coming after him, Mahoney took his own life. He wasn’t the only villain on the river. At Meadow Creek, a few miles downstream from Black Bar, a lone farmer named “Dutch Henry” once raised livestock and tended orchards. He was accused of murdering four men over a 10-year period in the 1870s, but each time was acquitted. Well into the 20th century, according to Kauffman, Rogue River mothers would quiet wayward children by threatening to send them upriver to spend the summer with Dutch Henry. We visited Bob Fox’s cabin soon after we had paddled through a tough set of rapids at Horseshoe Bar. We waved at Zane Grey’s cabin (now undergoing renovation) at Winkle Bar, roller-coastered over another series of rapids above China Bar, then pulled off the river to toss a few horseshoes at the Rogue River Ranch. The ranch is the only location in a 34-mile stretch to be accessible by road, albeit a gravel, backcountry byway. Our overnight stop was at the Marial Lodge, less than a mile further downstream.

RAFTING OUTFITTERS

Photos by Barb Gonzalez / For The Bulletin

In the early morning hours outside Morrison’s Lodge, between Merlin and Galice, the Rogue River displays a serenity that belies the turbulent whitewater downstream. Rogue River Rafting Trips launch here. Billings Akesson, eldest daughter of the Rogue River Ranch founders, operated the lodge from the 1930s until 1967, when she was 73 years old. Since 1982, it has belonged to Pat and Lori Cameron, who raised a family here. Today, the lodge has a broad deck overlooking the Rogue and a dining room that serves hearty meals to the rafting, hiking and fishing groups who come to stay. On the night of my visit, the main course was short ribs in a tangy barbecue sauce.

Day 3: Whitewater adventure If the first two days of the river trip were tame by the standards of experienced river rafters, the third was a more definite challenge. This was the day we plunged through the Wild Rogue Wilderness Area, with 12 miles of severe rapids that included the Coffeepot in Mule Creek Canyon, Blossom Bar and the cataracts known as Devils Stairs, featuring one of the nastiest eddies on the entire stretch of wild-and-scenic river. Chilly waves splashed over the entire raft, soaking the crew from head to toe. I sat in the front of one boat and took the full sting of the water as we plunged over the rapids and catapulted between rocks. But I never lost the wide smile on my face. The run was exhilarating, but it was never frightening. For that, I credit the experience and confidence of the guides. Almost immediately upon leaving Marial, we found ourselves in stark and dramatic Mule Creek Canyon. Two partially submerged boulders, “The Jaws,” guard the right side of the entrance to this gorge, which in many places is no more than 20 feet wide. The river sweeps through a turbulent stretch of rapids called the Narrows, then surges into the Coffeepot, which bubbles and brews around the rocky outcroppings like a percolator. When the water is low, Kauffman said, a raft can bounce unpredictably between the walls and may spin in circles for minutes at a time. We encountered the river on the tail of heavy precipitation, so we were spit out fairly quickly. To our left, Stair Creek cascaded out of the wilderness as Stair Creek Falls. Of all the waterfalls we saw along the way, this was one of the two prettiest, along with Flora Dell Falls, where we stopped for lunch later

The Black Bar Lodge was one of the first fishing lodges on the Rogue River when it was built in 1932. Today, it provides accommodation in rustic wooden cabins ... that are also home to bats that limit the mosquito population. in the day. But tranquility soon gave way to more whitewater. Despite a name that suggests serenity — the “blossoms” are those of wild azaleas that flourish above the riverside rocks — Blossom Bar is considered the most hazardous of any Lower Rogue rapid. “The route requires much maneuvering to avoid serious wraps, flips and swims,” warns the official Rogue River float guide. Boaters must start at the far left side of the rapid, edge into a central eddy, pour through a line of rocks called “the Picket Fence,” and then, as the book describes, “play ‘dodge ’em’ through the rest of the rapid.” All three of our boats steered through the obstacle course and the ensuing Devils Stairs with grace and style. Ten miles later, and three miles after Flora Dell, we took out at Foster Bar. That’s six miles upriver from the village of Agness and 33 miles upriver of the Rogue’s mouth at Gold Beach. When we left the river, the day was warm and sunny. In three days, we had gone from wet suits to swimsuits. But less than a half hour later, we were on the backcountry Bear Camp Road, returning to Morrison’s.

ery Sunday in July and August. Fishing trips, based at Morrison’s, operate mid-September through mid-November. Kauffman said he conducts pre-arrival interviews by telephone with all fishing guests. “I find out how they fish, so we can completely customize our trip to the needs of the angler,” he said. “This helps me assign people to specific guides, each of whom has a different specialty, and to provide instruction if needed. “I let them know the steelhead run right past the resort ... and they can wet a line the same day they check in, without even going out on the boat.” The veteran river guide tried to convince me that I could cast a plug into the Rogue and, in no time, pull a river giant out on a hand-tied nymph. Of course, I didn’t believe a word of it. His lips were moving.

Retailers offer casual dresses to keep wedding costs down

S U D O K U Complete the grid so that every row, column and 3x3 box contains every digit from 1 to 9 inclusively.

By Whitney Friedlander Los Angeles Times

LOS ANGELES — There’s an adage that finding the perfect wedding dress is like finding a perfect partner: You want one that hugs your body, offers support, lifts you up and makes you feel beautiful. So wouldn’t it be great to get a dress from a brand that, like your future spouse, you trust to give you these things on an average Wednesday as well as on what’s supposed to be the most memorable day of your life? That seems to be the philosophy behind the slew of major mass-market retailers now offering bridal gowns. It was an idea popularized by J. Crew, which launched its Weddings and Parties collection in 2004 after noticing women were buying some dresses in multiples to use for bridesmaids or in white to use for themselves. The notion then grew to include Isaac Mizrahi’s Target dresses, Viktor & Rolf’s design for H&M and others. The trend seems to be exploding now, tapping today’s market of more budget-conscious brides with gowns from the Limited, Ann Taylor and, shipping out July 1, White House/Black Market. Next spring, bohemian brides-to-be will be able to sift through Anthropologie’s wedding gown selection, while discount divas with their eyes on luxury names can check out Vera Wang’s designs for David’s Bridal. And there are lines like BCBG Max Azria, which doesn’t have an official bridal line but has figured out why its loyal customers are fighting over the last off-white column strapless dress in their stores. The company has added to its website a “wedding shop” dedicated to its more formal dresses, including white ones that can pass for bridal gowns. “These gowns are completely specific to their brands,” says Heather Levine, fashion editor at wedding website TheKnot.com. A wedding gown from J. Crew “has the same vibe as any piece in the store,” she said. “These companies are creating designs in their own brand. You’re getting the same product from (these stores) as you would from your local salon boutique, but what it really comes down to is your style. If you want something really over the top and ornate, you’re not going to be shopping at these online retailers.” The mass-market phenomenon is more than just a case of brand loyalty. Brides spent an average of $1,134 on their gowns in 2009 (making this an estimated $1.7 billion annual industry), according to the more than 21,000 couples who answered TheKnot .com’s annual survey. Dresses from these mass-market retailers can go for less than half that.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY for Sunday, June 13, 2010: This year, honor your natural talents and abilities. You don’t need to overcompensate or offer too much in personal situations. You are building security emotionally and financially. Make strong investments. Trust your judgment. If you are single, others are drawn to you. Avoid power plays. Know when not to respond. If you are attached, the two of you might have to rebalance your bond. Listen to your significant other, not just the words but the feelings. CANCER cares. The Stars Show the Kind of Day You’ll Have: 5-Dynamic; 4-Positive; 3-Average; 2So-so; 1-Difficult ARIES (March 21-April 19) HHHH Keep plans low-key. A game of Scrabble might be as busy as you want to be. Others seek you out as you experience a relaxing moment. Don’t respond to another person insisting on controlling events. Tonight: Easy works. TAURUS (April 20-May 20) HHHHH Hang out with an older friend. Though you don’t forget this person, often he or she might feel that way. Choose a fun happening. News from a distance could be provocative. The trick will be not to allow it to invade your day and mood. Tonight: Do what you want! GEMINI (May 21-June 20) HHH An investment might be worthwhile, but not if you feel cramped and uptight financially. A partner or loved one becomes

more controlling than usual. Don’t play; walk away from the game. Tonight: Order in. CANCER (June 21-July 22) HHHH Your presence seems to add to any get-together. Though everyone appreciates an invitation, don’t be so responsive that you forgo your desires. Make yourself important, too. A happy Moon Child can make many more people happy than an unhappy one! Tonight: As you like. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) HHH Whether pursuing a private concern or off at the beach reading, you like the quietness. Someone or a situation could become difficult. Don’t personalize what this person is saying. Tonight: Stay low-key. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) HHHH Find your friends. Surround yourself with people who have similar interests. Don’t allow another’s attitude to prevent you from doing what you want to do. Sometimes you cave in to a child’s or loved one’s power play, as it is easier. Don’t right now. Tonight: Forget tomorrow; enjoy tonight. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) HHHH Ask for what you want. Take the lead at a barbecue or family get-together. Don’t let a personal judgment or situation get to you. Maintain a high profile wherever you are (preferably not at home). A change suits your needs. Tonight: A must appearance. SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) HHHH Think about all the people you always want to call but don’t. Stop. Form a list and start calling. As a result, your mind might drift to travel or perhaps going to visit a friend. Meanwhile,

make time for a movie or to relax. Tonight: Follow the music. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) HHHH How do you treat someone on his or her birthday? Do the same for a special person without needing his or her birthday as an excuse. Let this person know how special he or she is. The give-andtake of that interchange only adds to the power of your connection. Don’t get uptight about money or allow insecurity to infiltrate. Tonight: Celebrate the moment. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) HHH Your mood could rain on anyone’s parade. Knowing that, you might want to detach or do something to make yourself feel better. Often you push so hard to achieve results that you don’t nurture No. 1 - you. Establish a better pattern; it might change your life! Tonight: Your call. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) HHH You could be exhausted. A partner could prove to be demanding at the moment. Is it him, or is it you? Don’t worry about sharing so much right now. Make yourself a higher priority, without self-criticism. Release a situation you cannot control. Tonight: Choose something relaxing. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) HHHHH Spend fun time with a child or loved one, though you might need to cancel plans with a friend. Somehow, you often find yourself in situations where in order to do what you want you have to give up something else that is important. Work on incorporating the two in the future. Tonight: Acting like it is Friday night. © 2010 by King Features Syndicate

LONDON — Paris Hilton in tears on her way to jail, Jackie Kennedy Onassis sprinting from a determined paparazzo, the painter Edgar Degas exiting a pissoir — all are among sights on view in an intriguing, though patchy, exhibition at Tate Modern. “Exposed: Voyeurism, Surveillance and the Camera” makes a powerful point, though so thoroughly as to become tedious. Photography displays all manner of things we perhaps have no right to see: other people’s privacy, suffering and death. Intruding into private grief — or joy, or just ordinary unobserved existence — is one of the things that photographic media can do and others cannot, or not nearly so well. Indeed, the better photographs are often the more intrusive. Think how many of the renowned masterpieces of photography depend on snapping strangers, generally without their permission and possibly against their will. Great streetlife observers such as Henri Cartier-Bresson and Weegee (real name, Arthur H. Fellig), both featured in the show, took many of their masterpieces like that. Take, for example, Weegee’s shot of lovers canoodling at a 1940s cinema. It’s vivid social reportage, beautifully observed and composed, yet turns the viewer into a Peeping Tom. The same is true of Brassai’s brilliant glimpses into a Parisian brothel of the 1930s. The earliest photography was as studio-bound and almost as slow as painting. The hand-held, snapshot camera of the late 19th century made it easy to take pictures of all manner of fleeting sights, particularly those we aren’t supposed to see, such as the intimate life of the famous. The 21st-century obsession with the cult of celebrity is arguably the product of photography. Half the fascination of a modern celeb is that he or she can be caught off guard, in vulnerable moments, as Jackie and poor Paris all were in the photos cited above. The capturing of such images quickly shades into persecution and outright pursuit. The lens loves sights it would be difficult to stare at in real life without risking embarrassment, danger or even prosecution. It intrudes into the misery of strangers as readily as into their intimacy. Since the 19th century, down-and-outs have been as much a staple of documentary photography as winged cherubs are of Baroque tombs. Ben Shahn’s tramp asleep on a Bowery pavement in 1933 could, with a few changes of fashion detail, have been taken yesterday. In fact, the camera is a handy tool for snooping on just about anybody. In the 1930s and ’40s, Walker Evans surreptitiously took portraits of passengers on the subway. Describing himself as a “penitent spy,” he admitted

The show includes early specimens of those, hidden away in such unlikely spots as the heel of a shoe. Those images are wonderfully revealing, just because the subjects didn’t know they were being observed. On the other hand, he was right to feel guilty about taking them. How would you feel if you found your own face, caught in some private moment, on the wall of Tate Modern? To avoid that fate, many of us would run like Jackie.

COLLEGES AD: Texas looking at ‘all options’ AUSTIN, Texas — Texas is still “looking at all options” before deciding whether to stay in the crumbling Big 12 or move to another league, athletic director DeLoss Dodds said Saturday. Dodds spoke outside of his stadium suite before Saturday’s Texas-TCU baseball game, but declined further comment on what those options are. Dodds has said he wants to keep the Big 12 together. The Longhorns are considered the key to the league’s survival, particularly after it lost Nebraska (Big Ten) and Colorado (Pac-10) in a matter of two days this week. The Texas regents have scheduled a meeting Tuesday for “discussion and appropriate action regarding athletic conference membership.” An official at a Big 12 school with knowledge of the talks confirmed that Pac-10 commissioner Larry Scott was traveling to Texas and Oklahoma this weekend to present a case for Texas, Texas Tech, Oklahoma and Oklahoma State to join the Pac-10. The official requested anonymity because he was not authorized to speak publicly on the discussions. Pac-10 conference officials did meet Saturday with top University of Oklahoma officials, a spokesman for the university’s president said. Jay Doyle, a spokesman for Oklahoma President David Boren, said Boren and athletic director Joe Castiglione “had a very cordial and informative meeting” with Scott and deputy commissioner Kevin Weiberg. Texas A&M, which is reported to be considering a move to the Southeastern Conference, has not scheduled a regents meeting. — The Associated Press

Getting inside the gates The public can now play Pronghorn Club’s Nicklaus Course, part of a trend of members-only courses in Central Oregon becoming more accessible to golfers

entral Oregon has plenty of spectacular public golf options from which to choose. Still, curiosity is a natural thing. And more than a few public hacks, like myself, have wondered what the golf is like behind the gates of some of the area’s private facilities. Take Pronghorn Club’s (Jack) Nicklaus

Course, which opened with much national fanfare in 2004 to a relative few who could afford a membership. For the rest of us, the quality of the Golden Bear’s design was left to our

imagination. In large part because the recession has put a vise grip on golf courses of all kinds, curious golfers now have a chance to get a

look behind the gates. And no local private course has embraced an open policy more than Pronghorn, which now lists its Nicklaus Course as a resort course, which means the public can make a tee time on the once-exclusive Nicklaus track. And it is not going back to private, says Michael Marion, director of golf at Pronghorn. “From now on, we are full-blown resort,” Marion says. Pronghorn’s initial plan for the Nicklaus Course was to accept resort play once a resort was built on the property. But Pronghorn moved its targeted transition date up to this year, even though it has only opened its Residence Club and a full-sized resort is still on the drawing board. See Golf / D5

BELLINGHAM, Wash. — The Bend Elks won their third straight one-run decision on Saturday night, defeating the Bellingham Bells 4-3 in a West Coast League baseball game. The Elks (3-1, WCL) took the lead on the second batter of the night, as Brenden Kalfus hit a two-run home run. Bend High product Tommy Richards hit a sacrifice fly in the second inning to give Bend a 3-0 lead. The Elks tacked on an insurance run when Richards scored from third base on a wild pitch. That run came in handy, as Bellingham rallied for three runs over the final three innings in a comeback that fell just short. Jason Wilson started for the Elks and gave up four hits and no earned runs over six innings in earning the win. The two teams conclude their three-game series today at 2:05 p.m.

VANCOUVER, British Columbia — Rich Franklin used a devastating right hand to knock out Chuck Liddell at 4:55 of the first round in the main event of UFC 115 on Saturday night. It was a rough end to the fight, with Franklin saying afterward he thinks he suffered a broken left arm from a Liddell kick. With the final seconds ticking away in the opening round, Liddell had Franklin backed up against the fence. After Liddell missed with a punch, Franklin caught him with a right. When Liddell fell to the canvas, Franklin hit him with another blow. Liddell lay motionless for several minutes while support staff swarmed around him. Liddell, the former world light heavyweight champion was looking to put his career back on track. He’s lost five of his past six fights, four by knockout.

NBA FINALS: NOTEBOOK

S B

Horse racing • Rachel Alexandra is a winner as 4-year-old: Rachel Alexandra won for the first time as a 4-year-old, roaring to a 10½-length victory in the Fleur de Lis Handicap at Churchill Downs in Louisville, Ky. The Horse of the Year dominated a field of five fillies and mares Saturday. With Calvin Borel aboard, Rachel Alexandra pulled away down the stretch to easily win the Grade 2 race. Trainer Steve Asmussen and owner Jess Jackson say she is pointed for a run this fall in the Breeders’ Cup.

Auto racing • McClenathan gets No. 1 spot in Top Fuel qualifying: Cory McClenathan secured his fourth No. 1 qualifier of the season Saturday when his quickest-ever pass in NHRA history a day earlier wasn’t threatened as qualifying concluded at the 41st annual NHRA Supernationals in Englishtown, N.J. There were no changes in any of the other three categories either as Robert Hight (Funny Car), Mike Edwards (Pro Stock) and Michael Phillips (Pro Stock Motorcycle) remained on top of their respective qualifying categories at the 11th of 23 races in the 2010 NHRA Full Throttle Drag Racing Series. • Hamilton takes Canadian GP pole: McLaren’s Lewis Hamilton won the pole for the Canadian Grand Prix in Montreal, snapping Red Bull’s season-opening streak at seven. Hamilton, the winner two weeks ago in Turkey, took the top spot on his final lap Saturday in the third round of qualifying, edging Red Bull’s Mark Webber with a time of 1 minute, 15.105 seconds at 2.709-mile Circuit Gilles Villeneuve.

Soccer • Portland Timbers show new logo: The Portland Timbers put their new official logo on display Saturday as part of the countdown to the team’s inaugural Major League Soccer season. The new primary logo is a T-shaped ax on the team’s original crest. Team president Merritt Paulson says the Portland MLS logo symbolizes the move up to Major League Soccer while keeping reminders of the team’s Pacific Northwest heritage.

Basketball • Izzo yet to announce future plans: Tom Izzo either hasn’t decided where he’ll coach next season or he’s keeping it a secret. Izzo’s courtship by the Cleveland Cavaliers continued Saturday with no resolution — and no timetable for a decision. The 55-year-old Izzo did not announce if he’ll accept the Cavs’ offer and jump to the NBA or stay at Michigan State, where he has built one of college basketball’s sturdiest programs. Izzo is believed to be considering a five-year, $30 million contract from the Cavs, who are in the early stages of the most important offseason in franchise history. • Former UCLA coach Wooden buried in Los Angeles: Former UCLA basketball coach John Wooden, who led the Bruins to 10 NCAA championships and died on June 4, has been buried in Los Angeles. UCLA athletics spokesman Marc Dellins confirmed that Wooden was laid to rest Friday afternoon after a private ceremony for family and invited guests at Forest Lawn’s Old North Church in the Hollywood Hills. A public memorial for Wooden is scheduled for June 26 at UCLA’s Pauley Pavilion.

Cycling • Cancellara wins Tour of Switzerland prologue: Fabian Cancellara won the prologue of the Tour of Switzerland on Saturday, while Lance Armstrong finished far back in the start of his last race before the Tour de France. Cancellara, who won the Paris-Roubaix in April, finished the 4.7-mile time trial in 10 minutes, 21 seconds around the lakeside town of Lugano. On a muggy, overcast day with intermittent rain, Roman Kreuziger of the Czech Republic was a second behind the Swiss leader. Tony Martin of Germany was in third place, 3 seconds off Cancellara’s pace. • Contador wins sixth stage of Dauphine: Two-time Tour de France champion Alberto Contador won the toughest stage of the Criterium du Dauphine Libere after beating race leader Janez Brajkovic in a two-man sprint Saturday in L’alpe D’huez, France. Contador launched several attacks in the final ascent to L’Alpe D’Huez, but Brajkovic responded to all of them. With a strong headwind in the final section, the Spaniard stayed on Brajkovic’s wheel and overtook the Slovenian in the last 50 meters. Brajkovic, a member of Lance Armstrong’s RadioShack team, retained the overall lead, 1 minute, 41 seconds ahead of Contador. American Tejay Van Garderen was third overall, 2:41 back.

Tennis • Federer vs. Hewitt in Gerry Weber final: Roger Federer won his 29th consecutive match at this tournament, beating Germany’s Philipp Petzschner 7-6 (3), 6-4 Saturday to reach the final of the Gerry Weber Open against Lleyton Hewitt in Halle, Germany. Federer will go for his sixth title in this event today against Hewitt, who is seeded eighth and defeated Germany’s Benjamin Becker 6-7 (4), 7-6 (3), 6-2 to reach his first final of 2010. • Sharapova and Li to play for Birmingham title: Maria Sharapova beat American qualifier Alison Riske 6-2, 4-6, 6-1 to advance to the final of the grass-court Aegon Classic against familiar foe Li Na on Saturday in Birmingham, England. Top-seeded Li beat fourthseeded Aravane Rezai of France 6-1, 3-6, 6-3 in the other semifinal to return to the final for a second straight year. • Querrey, Fish make it all-American final in London: Americans Sam Querrey and Mardy Fish will meet in the final at Queen’s Club after contrasting wins on Saturday. The seventh-seeded Querrey reached his fourth final of the season by outlasting Rainer Schuettler of Germany 6-7 (9), 7-5, 6-3. Fish upset eighth-seeded Spaniard Feliciano Lopez in straight sets, 6-3, 6-4. — From wire reports

Both Rasheed Wallace and Kendrick Perkins have amassed six technical fouls so far in the playoffs, and their next one will earn an automatic one-game suspension. Both players are hottempered and known to rub referees the wrong way with complaints about calls. “Listen, I don’t want them to be less emotional. I want them to play their games, but also have some discipline,” Celtics coach Doc Rivers said. “That’s about all we can do.” Perkins tied for the league lead with 15 technical fouls in the regular season, then picked up six more in the first three rounds of the playoffs. He has so far avoided any in the finals. Wallace has been ejected 30 times in his career — the most since such records started being kept in 1992, according to STATS Inc. He entered the series against the Los Angeles Lakers with four technicals, and picked up his sixth on Thursday night. “Sheed is going to be all right. I’m pretty sure it’s not the first time he’s been in this situation, so he should know how to handle himself,” Perkins said. “I’m going to make sure I tell him that today, though, when I see him. When we get out on the court I’m going to remind him.” Rivers commended Perkins for keeping himself under control. “It’s clearly the new Perk. I hadn’t seen that side of him,” he said. “The good news is we know he can do it. And the bad news is now we know he can do it, we’re going to expect him to be one of those type of guys.” Lakers coach Phil Jackson said he won’t encourage his players to try to draw out another technical, even though it could cost the Celtics the services of a big man in a series where size has been crucial: The team that’s won the rebounding battle has won every game. “That’s not fair play. That’s not the way to play games,” Jackson said. “You can be provocative and get out there and act kind of like they do if you want to and get in people’s faces and do that. But that’s not the way I like to coach a team. That’s not what I consider positive coaching, and that’s what I like to think is the right way to do things.” Rivers wasn’t so sure. “I thought in the last game, even though they say they didn’t, I thought (with Pau) Gasol there was a lot of extra stuff going on,” Rivers said. “And they’re right, obviously, we put ourselves in this predicament with Perk, and I thought Perk did a great job of walking away.” Bryant’s body Kobe Bryant isn’t sure yet if he’ll be done with basketball for a while once the finals are over. Bryant has struggled with several injuries across the second half of the season, which could prevent him from playing for the United States in the world championships. “I don’t know,” Bryant said.

Boston center Rasheed Wallace, right, appeals to referee Scott Foster during the first quarter in Game 4 of the NBA finals against Los Angeles on Thursday in Boston. “I’ve got to take care of my body, so whatever shakes out of that shakes out of that.” Bryant said he hadn’t spoken to USA Basketball chairman Jerry Colangelo since early in the season, and didn’t discuss his summer plans with coach Mike Krzyzewski during a brief chat. Colangelo recently told the New York Post he’d heard Bryant may need knee surgery, which would make him unavailable this summer. Bryant was forced to miss the 2006 worlds for the same reason, but played two years ago on the U.S. team that won the gold medal in Beijing. He doesn’t have a timetable for deciding on this summer. The Americans will gather for training camp next month, and the worlds are from Aug. 28-Sept. 12 in Turkey. Celebrate, celebrate When Glen “Big Baby” Davis made a key basket in Game 4 of the NBA finals, he celebrated by walking back up court with his mouth open wide. Nate Robinson, a foot shorter and 110 pounds lighter, leaped on his back. At several moments during Boston’s 96-89 win, Celtics players stood in front of their bench and cheered their teammates on. That’s the kind of emotion Ron Artest of the Los Angeles Lakers likes — even though it came from his opponent. “It’s part of the game,” Artest said Saturday. “I think they’re like the last team left that plays like that. The NBA is slowly trying to not have that many antics or taunting or whatever you want to call it, but I grew up playing like that, so it’s kind of cool.” Davis had just scored on a follow of a missed shot by Tony Allen. He converted the three-point play to give Boston, which trailed by two points entering the fourth quarter, a 71-64 lead with 8:22 left. “The intensity was there and we made a good play at that time and we showed that emotion for that moment,” Davis said. “It’s good to be able to celebrate, but we still have to stay focused on

what we’re here for and what we want to accomplish, and that’s to win a championship.” Artest, an intense player best known for sparking a melee with Pistons fans by running into the stands after a fan threw something at him, said he’s toned down his emotional displays. “I don’t play like that anymore,” he said. “I get mentally drained if I get that emotional so I can’t get that emotional, not throughout the whole game, but it’s entertaining for the fans.” Fighting mad Rajon Rondo was livid last fall when he heard that Davis had broken his right thumb in a fight with a childhood friend the day before the season opener. Davis missed the first 27 games of the season. “I was very angry at ‘Baby,’ ” Rondo said before Boston practiced Saturday. “I called him. I just told him a couple of things that I can’t say right now on camera, so he knew I was very angry with him.” Boston went 22-5 before Davis returned. On Thursday night, he

was the key to Boston’s fourth quarter comeback. Davis told police that he had gotten into a fight with his “best friend since childhood,” early in the morning on Oct. 26. Police found him at 4 a.m. walking shirtless near a black SUV stopped in the middle of the road less than a quarter of a mile from his house. He had surgery the next day. “Sometimes you’ve got to make split decisions and sometimes you might not make the right decision,” Davis said Saturday. “Sometimes you might make the right decision, and it just didn’t go my way. I’m disappointed that I let my team down.” Has he changed since then? “He’s no different,” Rondo said. “I’m sure he probably won’t make that mistake again. But he’s still ‘Big Baby.’ ”

Rangers 4, Brewers 3 MILWAUKEE — Chris Ray saved his first game since 2007 by getting Prince Fielder to pop up after the Rangers bullpen nearly blew Scott Feldman’s six scoreless innings in Texas’ victory over Milwaukee. Ray came in with one out and the bases loaded for closer Neftali Feliz after Feliz allowed an RBI single to Rickie Weeks to make it 4-2. Ray got NL home run leader Corey Hart to hit into a run-scoring fielder’s choice before forcing Fielder to pop out to left field on a full count.

GOLF ROUNDUP

Garrigus takes lead at St. Jude The Associated Press

AP file

Phil Mickelson, right, and Tiger Woods will compete in the U.S. Open at Pebble Beach next weekend.

Pebble Beach has a short history of great champions By Doug Ferguson The Associated Press

The history of the U.S. Open at Pebble Beach is short. The memories are not. The course is famous for its sheer beauty, especially the seven holes in the middle that run along the rugged Pacific coastline, and the wall along the 18th fairway that stands between the great meeting of land and sea. Adding to its mystique is the Hall of Fame champions Pebble produces in the U.S. Open. The four winners collectively own 202 victories on the PGA Tour and 41 majors. “Great venues have great winners,” Geoff Ogilvy said. “Most members have it wrong. They think high scores validate their golf course. It’s great champions that validate a golf course, don’t you think? And they’ve all been great tournaments.” No doubt, they have been memorable. It starts in 1972 with Jack Nicklaus hitting 1-iron into the cool, ocean wind on the par-3 17th, the ball striking the pin and stopping a foot away for the birdie that gave him the second leg of the Grand Slam. Ten years later, with perhaps the most memorable shot of all, Tom Watson chipped in for birdie from behind the 17th green to deny Nicklaus a record fifth U.S. Open. Tom Kite chipped in on the par-3 seventh hole in the blustery, punishing conditions to win in 1992. And then there was Tiger Woods. Asked for his favorite memory from 2000, Woods settled on the 3-foot par he made on the final hole. Nothing really stands out from that week because so many shots were right where he was aiming. How else to explain a six-shot lead after 36 holes, a 10-shot lead going into the final round and a 15-shot victory that stands among the great feats in 150 years of the majors? “I didn’t do anything special that week,” Woods said. “Everything was just on.” Everything is up in the air going into the 110th U.S. Open, and the fifth at Pebble Beach, which starts June 17. Woods is No. 1 in the world, as he was 10 years ago coming into the U.S. Open on the Monterey Peninsula, but the similarities stop there. His image was shattered during the offseason when he was caught in a web of infidelity, and Woods has not looked the same since returning from a five-month layoff at the Masters and tying for fourth. For the first time in his career, he failed to finish consecutive tournaments — he missed the cut at Quail Hollow, then walked out in the final round of The Players Championship with a sore neck. The next day, he and swing coach Hank Haney ended six years together. The real measure of Woods might start at Pebble. It is a course where Woods feels comfortable, even though he last saw it eight years ago. It is where he became the first player in U.S. Open history to finish at double digits below par (12 under). “Places like Memorial, Pebble Beach, the Old Course ... his history is pretty good at those golf courses,” Paul Goydos said. “If he goes through all those uncompetitive, then you can ask that question.” In the bigger picture, Woods is four majors behind the record 18 won by Nicklaus. This is an important year with Pebble Beach and St. Andrews on the major rotation. Nicklaus still believes Woods will break his record, although he is curious about these next two months. “He basically won on those fairly easily through the years,” Nicklaus said. “If he has problems with those golf courses, sure, they won’t come around for a while. Maybe it might be tougher.”

U.S. OPEN For now, the more tangible rival is Phil Mickelson, who brings as much hope as he does scar tissue to the U.S. Open. Mickelson is a three-time winner at the Pebble Beach National Pro-Am, and it was at Pebble Beach in the 1992 U.S. Open that he turned pro. He opened with a 68 that year, only to follow with an 81 to miss the cut. It’s about like his career, filled with up and downs, the changes sometimes swift and with little notice. Mickelson is trending upward at the moment, and he comes to Pebble Beach as the only player capable of the Grand Slam this year. His inspirational victory at the Masters, where wife Amy showed up for the first time since being diagnosed with breast cancer a year ago, allowed him to break out of the pack behind Woods with his fourth major, the most of active players besides Woods. Mickelson might trade them all for a U.S. Open, the major that is haunting him. A year ago at Bethpage Black, in his final tournament before a break to cope with his wife’s cancer, Mickelson was poised to capture the U.S. Open until missing short putts over the final four holes. He could not catch Lucas Glover, and wound up a runner-up for a record fifth time. From Pinehurst to Shinnecock to Winged Foot, all he has to show for the U.S. Open is a silver medal. “It’s my national open,” Mickelson said. “Growing up here, that’s a special event for me. I really want to give myself the best opportunity in the U.S. Open. I had a good chance last year — a couple of years I’ve had great chances and haven’t really come through — and it’s the one event that I’d love to win. “With this tournament being at Pebble ... I feel like there’s a good opportunity there.” He typically plays the week before a U.S. Open to get into the flow of competition. This year, Mickelson took the week off and is spending time at Pebble developing a strategy. Depending on how Woods fares, Mickelson could go to No. 1 in the world for the first time by finishing as high as second. A victory would allow him to join some elite company — Woods, Nicklaus, Arnold Palmer — as the only players in the last 50 years to win the first two legs of the Grand Slam. This is the 50-year anniversary of what some consider one of the best U.S. Opens ever, a convergence of three great golfers when Palmer held off aging Ben Hogan and Nicklaus, a 20-year-old amateur, in 1960 at Cherry Hills. Such a scenario is possible at Pebble Beach. Watson is 60 and was given a special exemption, making him the only player to compete in every U.S. Open at Pebble Beach. It was only 11 months ago that he came within an 8-foot putt of winning the British Open at Turnberry, and no one is ruling him out. Anything is possible at Pebble Beach, a course that has been magical when the U.S. Open comes to town. The course is nearly 200 yards longer than it was 10 years ago, most of that length coming on the ninth and 10th that run along the ocean, and on the 13th hole. At 7,040 yards, it is the shortest U.S. Open course since 2004 at Shinnecock Hills. Length isn’t usually the problem. It’s the wind off the ocean. “It’s one you can play in many different conditions,” said Nicklaus, who has often said that Pebble Beach is where he would go if he could only play one more round of golf. “It requires not only golfing skills, but discipline. You’ve got to be in control. You never know what’s going to happen.”

MEMPHIS, Tenn. — Robert Garrigus is taking inspiration for his own game from his beloved Chicago Blackhawks. “I figured ... if the Blackhawks can win the Stanley Cup, I can win a PGA Tour event,” Garrigus said. “I kept thinking about the Blackhawks all day.” It sure worked Saturday. Still recovering from a bout of food poisoning, Garrigus got hot with his putter and shot a 4under 66 to break out of a pack and grab a two-stroke lead after three rounds at a steamy St. Jude Classic. It’s the first time the 32-yearold pro has led a PGA Tour event by himself, and he surged to the top with four birdies and an eagle against two bogeys to reach 11-under 199. Garrigus said he usually looks at leaderboards too much. “I took a peek on No. 11, saw that I was right there near the lead or maybe birdied to take the lead or something like that. I just put it out of my head,” Garrigus said. “After that, I really didn’t look. I didn’t know what anybody was doing behind me. I was just concentrating on my game, which I should probably do tomorrow. Swede Robert Karlsson, who shot a 68, is within striking distance of becoming the first European to win this event — the tour’s third oldest dating to 1958. He chipped in from 24 feet on No. 18 to stay close. “My game I’m trying to get around. I’m very, very happy with it. I played well,” Karlsson said. Englishman Lee Westwood, ranked No. 3, had led or had a share of the lead after the first two rounds. He had four bogeys and finished with a 71 that left him tied with Heath Slocum (66) at 8 under. He headed almost immediately to the putting green for more practice on his stroke. “I’m only three back so any-

Golf Continued from D1 Golfers can now play a round at Pronghorn’s Nicklaus Course with a simple call to the clubhouse and $175, plus an $80 forecaddie fee. And this summer, Oregon residents booking as part of a foursome can tee off between 3 p.m. and 3:30 p.m. and get dinner for $99 per golfer. “Up until now, it was tough to get into the gate,” says Marion, adding that Pronghorn’s Fazio Course is still reserved for members only. “Now we have changed our whole culture to where not only can you get into the gate, it’s with wide-open arms.” Pronghorn is not alone. Tetherow, which opened as a private course in southwest Bend in 2008, is now semi-private and has been taking tee times from the public for more than a year. In practice, there are few truly exclusive facilities left in Central Oregon. Courses such as Bend’s Awbrey Glen Golf Club and Broken Top Club, which are both member-owned, are now easier for the public to play, albeit in a limited fashion. “Everybody is certainly rolling out the welcome mat, whether it be public or private,” says Andy Heinly, general manager of Broken Top. “How does that look for each place? It looks a little different. “Every club needs more revenue. Every club needs new members. You are seeing pricing that you have not seen before, and you are seeing opportunities (to play) that you have not seen be-

With temperatures in the 90s and a heat index over 100 degrees, golfers turned Saturday into a race to the top of the leaderboard in this last tuneup for the U.S. Open. Westwood was the biggest name among the seven who had a share of the lead at some point until Garrigus’ putter got hot. Garrigus has never finished better than a tie for third. He’s done that twice before in the 2007 Frys.com and again at the 2008 Turning Stone Resort Championship. He has made just three of seven cuts this year and came to Memphis recovering from food poisoning so intense he had to withdraw from

fore. Everybody is looking to be creative.” Private golf courses in the past have generally been limited to play by members, guests of members, or members of certain other private clubs. But the term “guest” just isn’t what it used to be. Private facilities in Central Oregon are locked in a competition to get more golfers. The goal is to attract more members. But more golfers also means more immediate revenue for the clubs, and that means being a little less choosy about who gets to play. Broken Top, for instance, offers for between $75 and $125 a reciprocal rate to Athletic Club of Bend members and a guestcard program that allows certain nonmembers to play Broken Top. But being chummy with a Broken Top member is not necessarily a requirement. “Can you call our number and book a tee time? No,” Heinly says. “But does that mean we haven’t thrown out our net (to attract new members) very broad? No, we have. There are multiple opportunities for people to come out and visit Broken Top as a potential preview for membership.” Awbrey Glen has taken a similar approach. On the website www.golfnow. com, Awbrey Glen has been offering two tee times each afternoon, at 1:30 and 2:30, for $80 per player. The offer is available to anybody with a laptop and a credit card. Imagine trying to book those tee times as a nonmember in, say, 2005, when the economy and the golf industry here were

Alexis Thompson, yet to lose a match, teamed with Jessica Korda to beat Danielle McVeigh and Leona Maguire 3 and 1 in the afternoon foursomes.

booming. Awbrey Glen could soon be adding two more times during weekday afternoons through the website, says Tim Fraley, head pro at the northwest Bend course. “We are trying to create a little extra revenue in the afternoons when it is dead,” says Fraley. “We are not trying to put it in times when members are going to be (playing) or around events. “We’ve got new greens, so we have to get people out playing. It’s important as a marketing thing. You get new people exposed and they talk about it.” Awbrey Glen, The Club at Brasada Canyons in Powell Butte, Broken Top, Pronghorn and Tetherow are all part of the Central Oregon Golf Trail website, www. centraloregongolftrail.com. The website, which was constructed by a coalition of 15 public and private golf facilities in Central Oregon, allows golfers to book tee times through a concierge service, among other services. In other words, the gates that have been shut tight for most golf-

ers are now showing a sliver of daylight. For a price, golfers can now play world-class greens and fairways at Pronghorn. It is a treat, if a golfer can afford it. But it’s a treat few of us have had the opportunity to enjoy. “I go around and I meet a lot of people in town, and a lot of times they recognize me or they see my Pronghorn shirt,” Marion says. “And it is amazing how many pretty avid golfers have never played here.” If and when the economy fully recovers, some of those gates will likely close again. But there is little stopping us now from getting a peek inside.

AU TO R AC I N G : N A S C A R S P R I N T C U P

Ford is looking for an overdue breakthrough By Will Graves The Associated Press

BROOKLYN, Mich. — Greg Biffle spent some time at Ford headquarters on Thursday, taking each of the resilient automaker’s newest toys out for a spin. The veteran NASCAR driver, while admittedly a little biased toward the company whose name is splashed across the grille of his No. 16 Roush Fenway Racing car, was impressed. “They are building such great products while the other companies are trying to get back at it,” Biffle said. “I wish we could hold our end of the bargain up. We are carrying that banner out here.” They’re just not carrying it to Victory Lane. A Ford car hasn’t taken the checkered flag in a Cup race since Jamie McMurray won at Talladega last fall. It’ll take some doing to end the drought during today’s 400-miler at Michigan, where only one of the 12 Ford drivers to make the field qualified in the top 10 behind pole sitter Kurt Busch. Ford’s struggles on the track play in stark contrast to the resurgence the company has found in the showroom, where the only one of America’s Big Three automakers to not take any federal bailout money is thriving. May sales were up 22 percent over the same month in 2009, according to Ford — the sixth straight month the company saw at least a 20-percent jump in year-over-year sales. The mood in Detroit is considerably brighter than it was a year ago. The same can’t be said in the garages of Ford’s two top Cup teams, Roush Fenway and Richard Petty Motorsports. Though RFR drivers Matt Kenseth (fourth), Carl Edwards

(ninth) and Greg Biffle (10th) find themselves in the top 10 in points with 12 races remaining before the cutoff for the Chase, they’re not exactly optimistic about catching up with Joe Gibbs Racing’s Toyotas or Hendrick Motorsports’ Chevrolets anytime soon. “We seem to be a ways off more times than not,” Kenseth said. “You do want to pass all those guys, but right now I would be happy if we were the same and able to race them.” Sometimes they do. Sometimes they don’t. A Ford car has led just 410 of a possible 2,413 laps this season, well behind each of the series’ other three manufacturers. There’s hope that help is on the way with the arrival and maturation of the new FR9 engines. The motors, designed by Roush Yates Engines, have slowly been phased in over the last eight months and will be in all eight of the RFR and RPM cars today. RFR owner Jack Roush says the new FR9 engine is “marginally better” than the previous spec engine Ford drivers have used, and the onus is on teams to start coming through. “You say what is wrong with the Fords? The teams aren’t getting it done,” said Roush, who has won 11 times at Michigan’s two-mile oval, tied for most all-time. Regardless, Roush — who started working for Ford after graduating from college in 1964 — believes the end of the winless streak is near. For inspiration he needs only to look at how the auto industry and his adopted state have tried to bounce back from near collapse. “Detroit is on the rebound,” he said. “Ford certainly has turned the corner.”

Logano continues to dominate at Kentucky The Associated Press SPARTA, Ky. — Joey Logano became the first Nationwide Series driver to win three consecutive races at the same track when starting from the pole as he held off Carl Edwards to win the Meijer 300 at Kentucky Speedway on Saturday night. “This probably feels better than any other win I’ve ever had,” Logano said after his seventh career series win. “It’s cool for Kentucky. I would’ve never thought two-for-two, now it’s three-for-three, I’m pretty stoked about that.”

Logano had to beat the rain, which was rapidly moving into the area, and Edwards to pick up his first Nationwide victory of the season at the 1.5-mile trioval track. “I used to come here about once every three weeks when we were testing, I probably ran a million laps here,” Logano said. “I said, ‘Man if I ever get to race here I’ll be pretty good.’ I guess hard work pays off.” Points leader Brad Keselowski, who started 25th, finished third, while Brendan Gaughan finished fourth.

COLLEGE SPORTS

NCAA could make harsh penalties the new norm By Michael Marot The Associated Press

INDIANAPOLIS — The NCAA is finally backing up its tough talk. By penalizing Southern California’s football program with the loss of 30 scholarships and a two-year postseason ban, the committee on infractions sent a clear message to programs and coaches willing to win at any cost: Learn from the Trojans’ mistakes or face a stiff penalty. “The real issue here is if you have high-profile players, your enforcement staff has to monitor those students at a higher level,” committee chairman Paul Dee said. “So high-profile players demand high-profile compliance.” Some were surprised the NCAA relinquished the kinder, gentler image it had under the late president Myles Brand and reverted to a more old-school approach in deciding the Southern Cal case. Until Thursday, no Football Bowl Subdivision school had been prohibited from postseason play since Alabama completed its two-year bowl ban in 2003, and no team has been given a television ban since 1996. The Trojans nearly got both. Those who follow the NCAA’s moves closely should have seen this coming. In the big-money sports world, critics increasingly labeled the NCAA as too soft on rule-breakers. So in October 2008, the committee on infractions recommended imposing postseason and TV bans — punishments that were never scrubbed from the books. “Some time ago, we moved away from television bans because we felt that impacted sister institutions rather than the guilty party,” Division I vice president David Berst said then. “It believed there were other ways to impose penalties that were just as meaningful. Now, the committee be-

lieves it may be appropriate.” Other recommendations from two years ago included publicly naming staff members involved in infractions cases, eliminating the reward for cooperation with NCAA investigators and imposing fines. Since then, NCAA spokeswoman Stacey Osburn said, the recommendations have been sent to schools for comment. The Board of Directors has not acted on those recommendations. It still didn’t stop the infractions committee from punishing Southern Cal. Neither Berst nor other fulltime NCAA employees were available Friday to discuss whether the latest decision could signal a new trend in how the NCAA deals with violations. But Thursday’s report went far beyond typical infractions announcements. Dee acknowledged publicly the committee had considered imposing a television ban on the Trojans — a rare departure for an organization that doesn’t like discussing what could have happened. And although Reggie Bush and O.J. Mayo were not identified by name in the public report, they were singled out as a Heisman Trophy candidate and a one-anddone player. Names or identifying characteristics of individuals are traditionally excluded in the report. Why the change? “It was included in part to show how prominent the individuals were in relationship to the university,” Dee explained. The committee went even further. Among some of the overlooked penalties, Southern Cal must dissociate itself from Bush and Mayo and keep some of the Trojans’ most prominent fans, such as actor Will Ferrell, off the sidelines — a tough hit in a glitzy town. Southern Cal officials thought

the sanctions went too far. “I take the same stance as our university,” new Trojans football coach Lane Kiffin said. “There is some guilt, but the punishment is too severe.” Coaches had better get used to it. • The New York Times reported last month that the NCAA is looking into the academic history of former Kentucky guard Eric Bledsoe. The school claims Bledsoe passed an extensive review process by the NCAA, and Bledsoe is now headed to the NBA after one college season. Kentucky has won more basketball games than any other Division I program, and Wildcats coach John Calipari has twice had to vacate Final Four appearances at other schools. • Michigan has an August hearing in front of the infractions committee for five major infractions in the football program. The Wolverines have already admitted to making mistakes and have self-imposed some penalties, hoping the NCAA doesn’t hit them any harder. Michigan has won more football games than any other Division I school. • Oklahoma officials said last month they had shared phone records with the NCAA showing former assistant coach Oronde Taliaferro made contact with Jeffrey Hausinger, a Tampa, Fla.-based financial representative who reportedly wired $3,000 to former Sooners center Keith

“Tiny” Gallon and his mother. The NCAA has issued a statement indicating Gallon had not complied with its requests for cooperation. Southern Cal’s case was different. The Trojans had two prominent athletes in the two biggest money-making sports receiving impermissible benefits, so there was little doubt Southern Cal would get hit hard. “We try to impose penalties in most cases that deal directly with the institution,” Dee said. “To be sure, some of the penalties are punitive. ... The committee believed this was a very serious case and dealt very seriously with the sanctions that were imposed.” The message to other schools is simple: Follow the rules, especially when it comes to big-time players. “I think what you have to consider is that if somebody was a fourth-round draft pick, none of this would have happened,” Dee said. “We want all those people involved that could cause a violation, create a violation or make a violation to understand that whenever someone breaks a rule, that it (a ban) can be imposed.”

Texas A&M repeats as NCAA champion for men, women By Anne M. Peterson The Associated Press

EUGENE — Before last year, Texas A&M had never won an NCAA team title. Now, the Aggies can boast back-to-back championships for both their men and women. The men wrapped up the NCAA outdoor track and field championships Saturday with a crucial victory in the 1,600-meter relay and held off Florida to repeat, while the women were boosted by a 1-2 finish in the 200 meters. “This is big for our program,” coach Pat Henry said. “It shows consistency in what we’re doing and that’s the most important thing. If we had been second today or third today, I’d still have been pleased because it shows a level of consistency.” Texas A&M had never won a team title before last year’s championships in Fayetteville, Ark. They were the first school since 1990 to win both outdoor championships. “It definitely means a lot,” said senior sprinter Porscha Lucas, who won the 200-meter dash. “I’m so proud of my girls.” The Aggie men finished with 55 points, followed by Florida with 54 and host Oregon with 45. The Gators came close to unseating the defending champions in the meet’s final field event, the long jump, but Christian Taylor fell to fourth and the Gators came up short on points. Texas A&M’s all-junior team of Tran Howell, Bryan Miller, Demetrius Pinder and Tabarie Henry bested runner-up Mississippi State and thirdplace Florida in the 1,600 with a time of 3 minutes, 0.89 seconds. Again, the Gators fell just short. The women finished with 72 total points, followed by Oregon with 57 and Florida with 40. The first two days of the meet were marred by heavy downpours and chilly temperatures. The sun finally broke on Friday, but on Saturday morning the fog lingered for all but the final

events. The Texas A&M women opened the day with a victory in the 400 relay. The men did not fare as well in the event with a dropped baton and Florida won in 39.04 seconds with running back Jeff Demps on the final leg. Demps won the 100-meter title on Friday. Florida’s Charlotte Browning won the women’s 1,500 meters in 4 minutes, 15.84 seconds, adding to her victory in the event at this year’s NCAA indoor championships. Virginia Tech’s Queen Harrison, who won the 400-meter hurdles on Friday, won the 100meter hurdles in 12.67 seconds, becoming the first woman to win both hurdles events at the championships. Bridget Franek, of Penn State, won the 3,000meter steeplechase in 9 minutes, 38.86 seconds. Northern Arizona’s David McNeil won the 5,000 meters in 13 minutes, 44.81 seconds, and Andrew Riley of Illinois won the 110-meter hurdles in 13.45 seconds. Marquise Goodwin of Texas won the long jump with a leap of 26 feet, 9 inches. Lucas won the 200-meter title in 22.83 seconds, followed by teammate Jeneba Tarmoh in 22.92. Kentucky’s Rondel Sorillo won on the men’s side in 20.36. Oregon’s women won the 1,600 relay in 3:28.54. Blessing Okagbare, of Texas El-Paso, won the women’s long jump in 22 feet, 3½ inches and Evelien Dekkers, of Florida, won the javelin with a throw of 193 feet, 6 inches. Henry is in his sixth year with Texas A&M after coming over from LSU. He won 27 NCAA team championships while coaching the LSU men and women, including 15 outdoor titles. “You can’t come in here and say, ‘This is going to happen.’ You come in here and say ‘We gotta make it happen.’ That’s what we tried to do today,” he said.

Eaton misses finals in long jump Bulletin staff report EUGENE — After becoming the first collegiate athlete to win three consecutive NCAA decathlon titles on Friday, an exhausted Ashton Eaton had little energy left to compete in the long jump on the final day of the NCAA Outdoor Track & Field Championships at Hayward Field Saturday. Eaton, a University of Oregon senior from Bend, completed just one jump in the preliminar-

ies — 23 feet, 8.75 inches — and it was not enough to reach the finals. He passed on his two remaining jumps. Eaton said his legs were not 100 percent after two long days of competition in the 10-event decathlon. “People who don’t do (multievents), it’s hard to explain how you feel after a multi, but I was doing what I did to keep my body safe and try to maximize my effort,” Eaton said. “Obviously I’m upset that I couldn’t jump farther,

but that was what I could do.” Marquise Goodwin, of Texas, won the long jump with a mark of 26-9. On Friday, Eaton set the NCAA meet record, Pac-10 record and UO school record in the decathlon. He helped the Oregon men’s team to a third-place team finish behind winner Texas A&M and second-place Florida. “It’s good to be respected as one of the best teams in the country,” Eaton said.

NCAA Continued from D1 Incidentally, Wheating was part of that sweep at the 2008 Olympic Trials, in which he finished second to qualify for the Beijing Olympics. “The trials were cool because it was all new, and the Pac-10 (sweep of the 1,500 in 2009) was awesome because we’re all friends, and this one is a combination of both,” Wheating said. “We have a national meet and two of my good friends.” Wheating went out slow, letting his teammates do much of the work at the front of the race. Acosta led much of the race, then Centrowitz brought Wheating into the final stretch as he rounded the turn. Down the last 50 meters the three Oregon athletes seemed to find each other at the front. “Coming down the last 100, I was trying to pull whatever I had left out of the tank,” Wheating said. Acosta called it “one of the best races in Oregon history.” But he said he was worried about leading the race early with such a slow pace. “With two laps to go, I was just waiting for someone else to take it,” said Acosta, a junior. “I didn’t want to be the sitting duck. With 200 to go, I just dug in deep. That last 100, I was able to slingshot off the turn.” Acosta said he could feel the hometown crowd “lift him up” as he came down the home stretch. With an attendance of 45,847 over four days, it was

Rodeo Continued from D1 Despite the fact that both Havens and Gray compete against one another, they say they work as a team. They travel together and they support each other. “We didn’t really like each other before 2006, well, we didn’t really know each other,” joked Havens. “We were both trying to make the finals … and we needed to enter as many rodeos as we could and so we decide, ‘Let’s just enter together.’ We were both competing for the same spot.” “It turns out we were kind of unstoppable,” added Gray. “We basically just won everything, well either first or second.” Gray is currently ranked No. 1 in the PRCA bareback riding world standings and was first in the Sisters Rodeo bareback riding event as of Saturday evening. Havens is ranked No. 11 in the world in bareback riding and was eighth at Sisters as of Saturday evening. Havens and Gray almost always travel with Culver rodeo star Bobby Mote and Nebraska cowboy Steven Dent. Mote is a threetime PRCA bareback riding world champion and is currently ranked eighth in the bareback riding world standings. Dent is ranked No. 3. These cowboys are all trying to win the same event, but instead of letting the competition get to them, they work together. “We try to win everything everywhere we go between the four of us,” said Havens. “My mom always said, ‘If you are going to do it, then try to win all the time. You don’t have to be nice to other kids.’ So as a group that’s how we operate.” The average PRCA contestant travels to dozens of rodeos each year, and sometimes as many as a hundred or more. “I drove 40 hours straight just to get here,” said Gray, who traveled from his second home in Texas. “We have a rodeo in Canada on Wednesday and then another one on Friday in Utah,” noted Havens. “We usually do between 70 and 100 rodeos a year.”

For these rodeo hounds, bareback riding is their livelihood. Havens supports his wife and 1year-old son on his circuit income. Bareback riders who place in the top 15, according to Gray, win between $70,000 to $200,000 a year. “Now that’s not all profit,” said Gray. “It cost about $50,000 just to travel all year long: fuel, hotels, flights, entry fees — just the whole ball of wax. That’s why the four of us travel together.” Bareback riders rarely stop. Though they admit that perhaps the hardest part is the travel, they say the actual riding isn’t easy. “The (career) lifespan of a bareback rider is (age) 35 to 40. Some guys don’t get out of their 20s,” said Gray. “A 15-year career is a long career in our event.” In the world of rodeo and bareback riding, age is relative. Retirement may come as early as

30. Through all the years along the way, riders stay young, they love the lifestyle, they love having roots around the nation and a family at every rodeo. “You make enough friends doing what we do,” says bareback rider Tilden Hooper, 22, of Catherage, Texas, “that you kind of have a home just about everywhere you go.” “Rodeo is hard, but it’s fun,” says Gray. “We love to do it.” Katie Brauns can be reached at 541-383-0393 or kbrauns@ bendbulletin.com.

WORLD CUP ROUNDUP

Dempsey’s goal gives U.S. 1-1 tie By Ronald Blum The Associated Press

RUSTENBURG, South Africa — England’s players couldn’t get off the field fast enough. The Americans lingered to savor the night. They walked to the end of Royal Bafokeng Stadium where thousands of red, white and blue-clad fans were waving the Stars and Stripes and cheering their heads off. Try convincing the U.S. team and its fans there wasn’t a winner in the 1-1 draw with mighty England. “We’ll take more out of a draw than they will,” said U.S. goalkeeper Tim Howard, the man of the match. “They’re going to feel like they should have won the game.” Facing the Three Lions in the World Cup for the first time in 60 years, the United States rallied and then hung on for an instant boost in confidence that they could advance to the second round. Clint Dempsey became only the second American to score in two World Cups, getting the tying goal in the 40th minute on a blunder by goalkeeper Robert Green. Howard made six saves, withstanding a second-half barrage by Wayne Rooney and his celebrated teammates. “I think a lot of us came off the field satisfied with this result, but maybe a little disappointed we didn’t get more out of the game,” U.S. star Landon Donovan said. Steven Gerrard put England ahead in the fourth minute, blowing past Ricardo Clark to beat Howard from short range. Dempsey tied it when Green fumbled his 25-yard shot that skipped off the ground twice, yet another mistake in a long line by English goalkeepers. “Mentally we’re strong enough to get over it and as a goalkeeper these things happen,” Green told Sky TV. “You prepare yourself for not letting it affect you.” Anticipation had built for six months for the much-hyped game, the first competitive meeting between the nations

Showdown Continued from D1 E-GK, if you’re writing this down in your baseball scorebook. Green’s blunder will be remembered as long as Bill Buckner’s immortal misplay of a grounder is remembered in Boston — going on 24 years this October. Green muffed a simple shot by Clint Dempsey in the 40th minute, allowing the United States to catch England. Both nations came out of the first match with a point, which gives both breathing room in their subsequent matches with Slovenia and Algeria. Now the hard part begins for the Hands Nation. It has to retain its focus and its energy, which of course everybody knows, while preparing for the matches with Slovenia next Friday and Algeria the week after. The United States has been known to get way up for big matches and then look bad against strapping defenders from Eastern Europe or fleet players from less powerful nations. After the match with Mother England loomed portentously for months, the United States acquitted itself admirably Saturday after a defensive lapse that allowed Stephen Gerrard to slip inside in the fourth minute and poke home an easy goal, no fault of Howard. Oh, yes, and the United States has a lifetime record of one victory and one draw against England in the World Cup, going back to 1950. That 1-0 victory in Brazil was shocking; this 1-1 draw was well within possibilities, given the slow but steady improvement of the U.S. team through the national federation, Major League Soccer and the necessary upgrading in Europe. In fact, the United States was every bit as composed as the land that invented footy. Late in the second half — when the Americans used to cough up matches — they completed eight or nine consecutive touches while moving forward. There were entire World Cup matches in 1990, 1998 and 2006 when the team could not complete eight touches total for the entire match, or so it seemed. Under Coach Bob Bradley, the team is slowly maturing. The players knew what to do in the second half even after Wayne Rooney shifted into a higher gear.

He was since rupturing a knee tendon down for awhile, grimaced sev- in the last World Cup qualifier eral times when play resumed on Oct. 14. Forward Jozy Alti-

dore, back from a sprained ankle, nearly put the U.S. ahead in the 65th minute, but Green got a hand on his angled shot and it deflected off the corner of the goal. “A little unlucky,” the 20-yearold said after his World Cup debut. With each save late in the game, louder chants of “U-S-A!” erupted from Sam’s Army and American Outlaws, groups who made the long and expensive trip from home to sit among the vuvuzela-blowing fans on a cool night in the Southern Hemisphere. The crowd of 38,646 included Vice President Joe Biden, who visited the U.S. locker room before kickoff. Some players skipped his greetings. “I was getting taped,” captain

Carlos Bocanegra said. England must try to regroup as it seeks its first major title since winning the World Cup at home in 1966. The U.S., trying to rebound from a first-round elimination four years ago, got a boost as it heads into firstround games against Slovenia on Friday and Algeria on June 23. While not a shocking win to match 1950, the U.S. earned a huge single point in its quest to reach the second round for the first time since 2002. Both sides started out tentative and nervous. England broke on top when Heskey took Glen Johnson’s throwin and sent a through ball to Gerrard. Clark couldn’t catch Gerrard and he flicked it past Howard for his 17th goal in 82 appearances. It continued a troublesome pattern for the Americans, who fell behind in three of their last four qualifiers before coming back for a draw or win. “The funny thing is, we talk about, you know, don’t concede early,” Bocanegra said. “And man, it’s been our trademark lately, conceding early.” Dempsey, who become a key player for Fulham in England, scored on a play very similar to the goal by Croatia’s Niko Kranjcar that went in off Scott Carson’s arm and helped eliminate England from qualifying from the 2008 European Championship. Dempsey took several touches, spun around Gerrard and hit a dipping left-footed shot. The ball hit the field twice, glanced off Green’s right hand and went into the net for Dempsey’s 19th goal in 63 national team games. Dempsey, who also scored against Ghana as the U.S. was eliminated in 2006, matched Brian McBride in 1998 and 2002 as the only American to score in two World Cups. “At the last second, it moved a little bit,” Dempsey said. “These balls move so much, you just hit them on goal, you have a chance. It’s one of those goals you always say, ‘Why can’t I get one like that?’ ”

Argentina hangs on to beat Nigeria The Associated Press JOHANNESBURG — Even though Lionel Messi baffled Nigeria’s defenders, Argentina still had to sweat out Diego Maradona’s first World Cup victory as a coach. Gabriel Heinze scored on a diving header in the sixth minute, the only one of seven shots on goal Argentina converted in its 1-0 win Saturday. Heinze took advantage of weak defense to power in his header from 12 yards off Juan Sebastian Veron’s corner kick. After that, it was nothing but missed chances for Albiceleste. “The team made good moves, but we ended up suffering. That’s the law of soccer,” Maradona said. “Thank God we won the game. “To begin a World Cup in winning fashion gives you a certain sense of calmness. The only thing that concerns me is that we won a big game.” The Nigerians struggled for much of the match to contain Messi, and striker Gonzalo Higuain also failed to convert three good chances. Critics say he rarely plays well for his country, but Messi — FIFA’s World Player of the Year — posed a threat to the Nigerians all day. “I felt comfortable,” Messi said. “We knew that Argentina had to show its class and I think we did.” Also on Saturday: South Korea. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 2 Greece . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 0 PORT ELIZABETH, South Africa — Lee Jung-soo and Park Ji-sung each scored and South Korea eased to a win over lackluster Greece. Lee tapped in a free kick from short range in the seventh minute and Park Ji-sung doubled the lead in the 52nd with a slick solo goal.

Green’s goalie gaffe one of the worst in England’s soccer history RUSTENBURG, South Africa — There have been dreadful errors by England goalkeepers before, but Robert Green’s mistake on Saturday was arguably the worst ever by an England goalkeeper. There seemed little danger as Clint Dempsey shot at goal from 25 yards. The strike was not especially ferocious, and seemed to be headed straight for Green. The West Ham United goalkeeper got behind it, but the ball glanced off his gloves and spun behind him as he desperately grasped after it. So an England lead became 1-1, and two points were dropped. Green is the latest in a string of recent England goalkeepers to make costly errors. When the likes of Bert Williams, Gordon Banks, Ray Clemence and Peter Shilton were playing, England was justifiably proud of its goalkeeping

The Hands Theory never looked less loopy than in this match. Howard is one of the great American keepers of this generation, following Tony Meola (once a baseball prospect), Brad Friedel (who could have been a walk-on for UCLA basketball) and Kasey Keller, who has the gait and hands of a middle infielder. American athletes do, in fact, learn to catch and toss a ball at an early age. And sometimes they are discovered by the soccer dragnet, turned around to face the rest of the field, and taught the derringdo mechanics of the trade. Howard plays for Everton in England’s Premier League. All the marauders in the white shirts recognized him in his Day-Glo orange outfit — looking like a comic-book action hero, Capitan Naranjo, or something. After being helpless on the early infiltration, Howard was kicked in the chest by Emile Heskey, an acquaintance from England, and he took a long time to recover. In the second half, Howard smothered a screamer straight at him by Heskey in the 52nd min-

tradition. There were errors — notably Peter Bonetti diving over Franz Beckenbauer’s shot in the 1970 World Cup quarterfinal against West Germany, or Shilton similarly misjudging Jan Domarski’s shot as Poland prevented England from qualifying for the 1974 World Cup — but the mistakes seem to have become increasingly frequent. First to suffer the recent curse was Paul Robinson, who took a swing at a Gary Neville backpass in England’s Euro 2008 qualifier in Zagreb, and was defeated by a bobble, gifting Croatia a 2-0 win. Croatia was the beneficiary again in the return the following year as Scott Carson allowed a Niko Kranjcar drive to skip over his hands and into the net. That gave Croatia a 1-0 lead and they went on to win, 3-2, eliminating England from the tournament. — From wire reports

ute. Sometimes he punched the ball away, showing proper concern over the swerves of the new and suspect ball introduced to this World Cup, no doubt for marketing and sales purposes in months to come. But Howard was quite good enough to send his teammates down the other way. They came away with a tie because of the ghastly flub by Green, who looked like an alternate choice by the English coach, Fabio Capello, and played like one. There is no explanation for the way Green fumbled Dempsey’s mild left-footed bouncer. The ball skipped twice and then, clang, bounced right off Green’s hands into the goal. Dempsey, being kind, said Green probably should have saved the shot. The English fans, and history, will not be so kind. Now Capello has to revive England. The World Cup is full of shaky first matches by good teams. This first round has many surprises ahead. But for now, the No-Hands Nation has 1 point, and so does the Hands Nation.

The aforementioned Trust Deed covers property (the "Property") described as: LOT 27 IN BLOCK ZZ OF DESCHUTES RIVER WOODS, DESCHUTES COUNTY, OREGON. Also commonly described as: 18866 Shoshone Rd., Bend, OR 97702. The tax parcel number(s) are: 112828. The undersigned hereby certifies that she/he has no knowledge of any assignments of the Trust Deed by the Trustee or by the Beneficiary or any appointments of a Successor Trustee other than the appointment of JEFFREY C. GARDNER, as Successor Trustee as recorded in the property records of the county in which the Property described above is situated. Further, the undersigned certifies that no action has been instituted to recover the debt, or any part thereof, now remaining secured by the Trust Deed. Or, if such action has been instituted, it has been dismissed except as permitted by ORS 86.735(4). The name and address of Successor Trustee are as follows: Jeffrey C. Gardner, Successor Trustee, Ball Janik LLP, 101 SW Main Street, Suite 1100, Portland, Oregon 97204-3219. The Trust Deed is not a "Residential Trust Deed", as defined in ORS 86.705(3), thus the requirements of Chapter 19, Section 20, Oregon Laws 2008, and Chapter 864 [S.B. 628], Oregon Laws 2009, do not apply. DEFAULT BY GRANTOR: There are continuing and uncured defaults by the Grantor that, based on the provisions of the Trust Deed, authorize the foreclosure of the Trust Deed and the sale of the Property described above, which uncured and continuing defaults include but are not necessarily limited to the following: 1. Grantor's failure to pay to Beneficiary, when and in the full amounts due, monthly installments as set forth on the Note secured by said Trust Deed. Three monthly installments in the approximate amount of $293.95, which includes principal and interest, are currently due. Late charges through and including March 24, 2010 total $14.02. Interest due as of (i.e., through and including) March 24, 2010 is in the amount of $426.78 and continues to accrue at the rate of 9.75% per annum. On account of Borrower's continuing and uncured defaults, and pursuant to the express terms of the Note secured by said Trust Deed, effective from and after February 17, 2010, the fully floating interest rate applicable to Loan 6081732 was increased to the default interest rate applicable to the Loan. ALL AMOUNTS are now due and payable along with all costs and fees associated with this foreclosure. 2. As to the defaults which do not involve payment of money to the Beneficiary of your Trust Deed, you must cure each such default. Listed below are the defaults which do not involve payment of money to the Beneficiary of your Trust Deed. Opposite each such listed default is a brief description of the action necessary to cure the default and a description of the documentation necessary to show that the default has been cured. The list does not exhaust all possible other defaults; any and all defaults identified by Beneficiary or the Successor Trustee that are not listed below must also be cured. OTHER DEFAULT/ Description of Action Required to Cure and Documentation Necessary to Show Cure: Non-Payment of Taxes and/or Assessments/ Deliver to Successor Trustee written proof that all taxes and assessments against the Real Property are paid current. TOTAL UNCURED MONETARY (PAYMENT) DEFAULT: By reason of said uncured and continuing defaults, the Beneficiary has accelerated and declared all sums owing on the obligation secured by the Trust Deed and the Property immediately due and payable. The sums due and payable being the following: Unpaid principal amount owing pursuant to the Obligations, as of March 24, 2010: $70,398.44; Unpaid interest owing pursuant to the Obligations as of March 24, 2010: $426.78; Accrued and unpaid fees, costs and collection expenses to March 24, 2010: $14.02; TOTAL DUE: $70,839.24.

JOHN COSTA

Top 2 vote deserves a 2nd chance in Oregon

A Harvard president was vilified when he hypothesized in 2005 that biology helps men dominate the highest echelons of math and science. New evidence may prove he had a point.

The gender factor

n Tuesday, voters in California said this of the state election system: “Enough is enough.” Their state is collapsing under the weight of two forces seemingly out of the reach of the ballot box: a government that can no longer afford itself and a political culture that can no longer solve problems. That’s a lethal mix, as we in Oregon are discovering. So voters there approved Proposition 14, which establishes an open primary system. Simply defined, voters in California will now be able to vote for any candidate regardless of party affiliation in a primary. The two top vote-getters then run against each other in the general election. This is a solution to a problem based on a premise. The problem that voters see is the control of the electoral process by the most partisan members of the big political parties. This, as the argument goes, forces candidates to take extreme positions to win their party primaries, which makes it difficult to get elected in the general election or, if elected, to move to the center or compromise on issues when in office. The solution is the open primary, whose premise is that candidates will not be forced to appeal to the extreme corners of their parties because voters across the full political spectrum will be voting for anyone on the ballot. In other words, the candidates won’t necessarily be captives of the ideological die-hards. Will it work? Who knows, but it is a serious enough threat to the status quo that this approach is opposed by the established political structure wherever it surfaces. And, as The New York Times reported Thursday, “one probable impact was an increase in litigation; both major parties suggested that they were weighing how to stop the implementation of Proposition 14 before its scheduled start in 2011.” It makes you wonder whether the major parties have vested interests in the meltdown. The same can be said in Oregon. The open primary idea has been put forward in this state and defeated soundly with the major parties’ leaderships leading the attack in one of their very few bipartisan efforts. Former Secretary of State Phil Keisling led the charge in 2008 to secure enough petition signatures to get the idea on the ballot. Despite being trounced, it was endorsed by two former secretaries of state, the other being Norma Paulus, as well as former Gov. John Kitzhaber. It’s worth trying again. This is a very different political year from 2008. It is very hard to look at the state of the state now and not believe that the way political power is distributed has at least something to do with the free fall Oregon has been in for the past two years. Yes, there is a horrible recession, but even with a recovery, Gov. Ted Kulongoski has said recently, the state faces years of huge deficits. To his credit, the governor, a Democrat, has said the state has to cut across the board, which is all he can do legally. The response: defiance from the core of his own party, which is made up of unions representing the public workers whose pay and benefits constitute an enormous part of the problem. And the horrible pain of this recession comes a decade after the last recession, when experts then said the state was building a structure it could not afford in the best of times and would be brutal to reduce when the next hard time hit. And here we are. What was needed then and is needed more now remains nearly impossible to accomplish. The idea of tax reform to break away from our income tax dependence and stop the wild revenue gyrations is the third rail to the right and Republicans. The idea of government and regulatory reform aimed at living within our means and encouraging private job creation is the third rail to the left and Democrats. It is absurd to separate this decadeslong impasse from the politicians that our election system has produced. We can keep the same system and hope it produces new results. Or we can change it and try new approaches. Doesn’t seem like a hard choice, does it? John Costa is editor in chief of The Bulletin.

By John Tierney New York Times News Service

he House of Representatives has passed what I like to think of as Larry’s Law. The official title of this legislation is Fulfilling the Potential of Women in Academic Science and Engineering Act, but nothing did more to empower its advocates than the controversy over a speech by Larry Summers when he was president of Har- C O M M E vard University. This proposed law, if passed by the Senate, would require the White House science adviser to oversee regular “workshops to enhance gender equity.” At the workshops, to be attended by researchers who receive federal money and by the heads of science and engineering departments at universities, participants would be given before-and-after “attitudinal surveys” and would take part in “interactive discussions or other

activities that increase the awareness of the existence of gender bias.” I’m all in favor of women fulfilling their potential in science, but I feel compelled, at the risk of being shipped off to one of these workshops, to ask a couple of questions: 1. Would it be safe during the “interactive discussions” N T A R Y for someone to mention the new evidence supporting Summers’ controversial hypothesis about differences in the sexes’ aptitude for math and science? 2. How could these workshops reconcile the “existence of gender bias” with careful studies that show that female scientists fare as well as, if not better than, their male counterparts in receiving academic promotions and research grants?

The Bulletin AN INDEPENDENT NEWSPAPER

BETSY MCCOOL GORDON BLACK JOHN COSTA ERIK LUKENS

Chairwoman Publisher Editor-in-chief Editor of Editorials

The sudden turnaround O

utgoing Gov. Ted Kulongoski now argues forcefully that the Legislature must reform government, proving that political careers, like misspent lives, can produce

deathbed conversions. Imagine where Oregon might be now if Kulongoski had committed — truly committed — eight years ago to making state government affordable and sustainable. The governor has had moments of genuine leadership. In 2003, he approved a slate of reforms to the state’s Public Employees Retirement System (PERS). By doing so, Kulongoski infuriated many of the public workers who constituted his core consituency. He also impressed virtually everyone else with his courage. But then, having exerted himself so mightily, he hibernated. Since those early, promising days, Kulongoski’s most notable achievement has been the catastrophic expansion of the Business Energy Tax Credit (BETC), which will continue to plague the state’s general fund for years. According to the recently released revenue report — the one that predicted a $577 million shortfall — Kulongoski’s BETC bubble “has left the state with a substantial amount of credits that will serve to reduce revenues into the future.” Worse still, “Because the credits can be redeemed, sold, or held, it is somewhat unclear when the credits will be claimed.” Given the inevitable effect of this uncertainty upon the state’s famously volatile tax system, the Legislature’s anemic attempt to rein in the program during its February session continues to amaze us. So, too, does the governor’s failure to demand fiscal restraint back then, when it would have meant something. Because the governor has done so little for so long, because his conversion comes as he’s preparing to step out the door, and because the recommendations of his government reform panel will fall on his successor’s shoulders, it’s all too easy to dismiss what he has to say. But you know what? Lame duck or not, the governor’s absolutely right. When he announced the creation of his reform cabinet last year, Kulongoski acknowledged that the state, for a variety of reasons, “cannot sustain the level of services necessary to ensure the education, health and safety of our citizens.” Something — or many somethings — must give, including, he says, government labor costs, which include not only salary, but also retirement (PERS) and health care. As you might imagine, public employee unions aren’t celebrating the last-second resurrection of the Ted Kulongoski of 2003. Meanwhile, with the announcement this week of state agency budget cuts, the partisan cauldron that is Salem has begun to boil. Democratic leaders, including the governor, are crossing their fingers and hoping for just one more round of federal bailout

Perhaps more than ever, Oregon will need adults in the Governor’s Office and in the Legislature next year. The task of reforming government will require leaders to grasp every imaginable third rail, from the lavish health benefits enjoyed by state workers to the increasingly expensive array of services demanded by many taxpayers. money. Presumably, the first step in fixing the state’s problems is landing a big check that will allow us to ignore them a little longer. Not to be outdone, Republican leaders are demanding a special session to ameliorate cuts to education, public safety and human services (in other words, everything), possibly with a liberal application of budgetary fairy dust. Are these people really ready for — or capable of conducting — an adult discussion about government reform? Are lawmakers willing to control the cost of government services? Are they willing to eliminate functions (liquor sales, for instance) that properly belong to the private sector? Are they ready to outgrow — finally — the assumption that businesses have a limitless capacity to absorb costly mandates and regulations? And are they prepared to acknowledge the hopeless mess that is Oregon’s revenue structure and make a unified and good-faith effort to sell a revenue-neutral sales tax to skeptical voters? Such questions — the list is nearly limitless — are not rhetorical. Perhaps more than ever, Oregon will need adults in the Governor’s Office and in the Legislature next year. The task of reforming government will require leaders to grasp every imaginable third rail, from the lavish health benefits enjoyed by state workers to the increasingly expensive array of services demanded by many taxpayers. All of this, of course, begins with voters. They need to recognize that government services aren’t free, notwithstanding the great efforts policymakers often take to hide their true cost. They should recognize, too, that they’ll get the government they elect — and that by failing to vote they give that choice to everyone else.

Top court empowers rich candidates

‘C

areer politicians in Sacramento and Washington, D.C., be warned; you now face your worst nightmare!” said Meg Whitman, at her victory speech in California last week. Whitman, as the world now knows, is the former chief executive of eBay who won the Republican gubernatorial nomination by spending $71 million of her own money. She has said that she is prepared to spend $150 million to win the general election and the right to run a semibankrupt state with an intransigent Legislature. The people of California may be hoping that if she wins, she’ll just pay off their deficit. As a resident of New York City, which has had a billionaire chief executive for some time, I would like to say: Don’t hold your breath. Meanwhile, Carly Fiorina, a fellow former CEO, snagged the party’s Senate nomination by spending several million dollars of her fortune on lastminute ads. She was running against a well-thought-of former elected official who wasn’t particularly wealthy and was crushed, crushed, crushed. As the crowd celebrated the dual victories, while Twittering mercilessly about Whitman’s cash bar, the gubernatorial nominee explained that the worst nightmare for status quo lawmakers was of “two businesswomen from the real world who know how to create jobs, balance budgets and get things done.” This is not actually the case. For career politicians, the worst nightmare would be a businessperson from the real world with a billion dollars and an open checkbook. We have been entertaining ourselves with theories about how this election year is going to be all about voter an-

GAIL COLLINS ger. Or Washington insiders. Or health care. Or TARP. But, really, it’s going to be about money. Gobs of cash falling on campaigns like tar balls on a beach. Besides the rich “self-funders,” we have loony attack ads from mysterious well-heeled groups with names like Friends of Puppies. (A recent ad in Alabama attacking a gubernatorial candidate for supporting the teaching of evolution was financed by the True Republican PAC, whose big donor was actually the state teachers union.) The fear of a billion-dollar Freddy Krueger or Friends of Puppies terrifies normal elected officials into compulsively piling up campaign donations to protect them from a big-money tornado. Whenever we try to come up with a system that will even the playing field, the Supreme Court calls foul. Arizona has a clean elections law that rewards candidates who promise not to take money from special interests. Just this week, the court told Arizona that the state couldn’t distribute matching funds under the program because it might violate the First Amendment rights of one fringe candidate named Buz who refused to take part in the system. Back in the days of the Good John McCain, Congress prohibited corporations from running ad campaigns during the election season that were aimed at influencing a race. In January, the Roberts court, in a

burst of creative overreaching, ruled 5 to 4 that corporations have the same free speech rights as people and knocked out Good John McCain’s law. Right now, people in Congress are trying to find a fix for that one. They’re focusing on transparency, which is something people always claim to like. “If you want to run a nasty negative ad, the public should have the right to know who you really are,” said Chuck Schumer, the Senate sponsor of the painfully named Democracy Is Strengthened by Casting Light On Spending in Elections Act. Under the bill, a theoretical ad would not only say it was paid for by Friends of Puppies but also that the top Friends of Puppies donors were BP, Goldman Sachs, AIG and Halliburton. The bill is scheduled to go to the floor of the House soon, but it has gotten heavy artillery from the Republican leadership, as well as groups of all stripes that don’t want to reveal their big donors. “When someone like Schumer wants to know who’s paying for an ad — let’s be honest. They’re taking names,” said Bruce Josten of the United States Chamber of Commerce. Rep. Chris Van Hollen of Maryland, one of the House sponsors, expects the bill to pass his chamber with at least scattered Republican support. But the Senate is another matter. Schumer says some Republicans have expressed sympathy for the idea, but no one has volunteered to come on board. None of the John McCains have been heard from on this one. Maybe they’re in Arizona, communing with Buz. Gail Collins is a columnist for The New York Times.

Local governments must address problems by thinking big By Troy Reinhart

IN MY VIEW

Bulletin guest columnist

here has been considerable conversation recently concerning the role of government and at what levels it should be funded. Most business owners would say government’s role is to provide services citizens cannot provide for themselves, and it should be funded in a cost-effective manner. As we start the budget planning process, the city of Bend has an excellent opportunity to reinvent local government. Our reinvention is critical if our community is to grow and prosper. Business as usual is not working. We cannot continue to trim around the edges of a budget plan while looking for ways to raise fees and taxes. That is traditional government thinking; we can do much better. The Bend Chamber of Commerce and I believe we must think boldly and outside the box. Innovation is what leads good companies to greatness, and separates mediocrity from excellence. But this path requires courage and a willingness to be honest and open to new

ways of thinking. For example, here are tenets which we believe could be used to help measure the success of each policy, program or administrative decision moving forward: • Does it create private sector family wage jobs? • Does it provide equal or better services at a comparable or lower cost? • Is it a necessary function of government, and how does it rate on a priority scale? So, who should be at the table for this discussion in innovation? Bend has an incredible pool of talent in this department — critical thinkers who have dedicated their lives to making their businesses better. And it is not just business owners we need, but individual taxpayers as well. Different perspectives coming together to solve a common problem will lead to the future success of our community. All journeys must begin with a first

step, and we have developed a first draft of ideas to spark conversation. While the list is intended to stimulate discussion, we must make a concerted effort to move forward, have open and honest discussions, and action must then be taken. We need to check our baggage at the door and agree to not become defensive, protective or obstinate as we put the community before our own biases. 1. Can the private sector help us become more efficient? How much money could be saved by privatizing services such as the Bend water system, sewer system and emergency services (ambulance service)? Can the Public Works Department be improved through outsourcing? 2. Can our local government agencies help each other? Consolidation of services within the city of Bend, Deschutes County, Bend Park & Recreation District and BendLa Pine Schools would stop duplications and pool valuable resources. Can the city of Bend and the Bend park district be merged? 3. Can Bend City Council remove

roadblocks to growth? The City Council needs a timetable, a deadline to identify and eliminate regulations and processes that unnecessarily inhibit business and job development. Should we let sun-setting taxes expire without renewal (i.e. downtown urban renewal)? 4. Can we regulate a balance between public and private? A city charter incorporated cap on the level of public sector employment spending versus private sector employment earnings. 5. Do our tax districts still make sense? Taxing districts must be reviewed to determine if they are self-supporting and can continue as stand-alone entities. 6. Does our city need to be a property owner and developer? All excess property should be sold to the private sector. Juniper Ridge should be sold to a developer as industrial property to reduce city costs and future expenditures, while ensuring the project remains consistent with the Juniper Ridge master plan.

This list is not comprehensive, but it is a credible start intended to ignite serious discussions about the role of government. Over the last 20 years, the growth of private sector jobs has trailed that of government jobs. If the state of Oregon and our local community are going to survive and prosper, it is essential we turn that around. As was said in a recent political campaign spot: “We don’t need more taxes, we need more taxpayers.” Our vision to prosperity should include a partnership between the city and the private sector. A bold plan of government job conversion to the private sector, overall efficiencies, and bringing an end to overregulation can help make that a reality. The definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results. We need to break that cycle, tap into our strengths in innovation, and lead our citizens to a more prosperous future. Troy Reinhart is president of the Bend Chamber of Commerce.

O Turkey shifts toward Islamist allies A

Turkish Islamic group — the “Humanitarian Relief Foundation,” often associated by Western intelligence agencies with terrorist sponsorship — orchestrated the recent Gaza flotilla. It was hoping for the sort of violent, well-publicized confrontation with the Israeli navy that later followed. Turkish Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan immediately issued veiled threats to Israel. He then badgered the United States, Turkey’s NATO patron ally, to condemn the Israeli interdiction. While the world piled on in its criticism of Israel, there was also a sort of stunned silence over the actions of Turkey, without whose help the blockaderunning flotilla would never have left a Turkish port. Erdogan’s hysterics emphasized the Islamic transformation of a once secular Turkey that has been going on for well over a decade. In 2003, Turkey forbade passage to U.S. troops in their efforts to remove Saddam Hussein from Iraq. State-run Turkish television instead aired virulent anti-American dramas, like “Valley of the Wolves,” in which our soldiers appear as little more than blood-crazed killers who dismember poor Iraqi civilians. Lately, Turkey has reached out to Iran and Syria. Both habitually sponsor Mideast terrorist groups and have aided anti-American insurgents in Iraq. Turkey and Brazil recently offered to monitor Iran’s nuclear program, sidestepping

VICTOR DAVIS HANSON American and European efforts to step up sanctions to stop Teheran’s plans for a bomb. Erdogan’s anti-Israel attacks often match those of his newfound friends, Iran’s Mahmoud Ahmadinejad and Hezbollah’s Hasan Nasrallah. Former Turkish Prime Minister Necmettin Erbakan, remember, once blamed the Jews for starting the Crusades, and for instigating World War I to create Israel. He also described them as a “disease” that needed to be eradicated. What is behind the Turkish metamorphosis from a staunch U.S. ally, NATO member and quasi-European state into a sponsor of Hamas, ally of theocratic Iran and fellow traveler with terroristsponsoring Syria? The Cold War is over. Turkey no longer guards the southeastern flank of Europe from the advance of Soviet communism, lessening its importance within NATO. Its Anatolian Muslim population grows, while more secular European and Aegean Turks have lost influence. Turkey senses a growing distance between Tel Aviv and Washington, and thus an opportunity to step into the gulf

to unite Muslims against Israel and win influence in the Arab world. Erdogan clearly identifies more with the old transnational Ottoman sultanate than with Kemal Ataturk’s modern, secular and Western nation-state. Indeed, he has bragged that he is a grandson of the Ottomans and announced that Turkey’s new goal was to restore the might of the Ottoman Empire. And so, like the theocratic Ottomans of old, Erdogan’s Islamic Turkey fancies itself a window on the West, absorbing technology and expertise from Europe and the United States in order to empower and unite the more spiritually pure Muslims across national boundaries. Of course, Turkey tolerates no criticism about its own violations of human rights in suppressing its Kurdish population. It lectures Israel about occupied land but is silent about its sponsorship of the Turkish absorption of much of Greek Cyprus. It laments a divided Jerusalem but says nothing about the segregation of Nicosia. Erdogan often accuses Israel of human rights violations, but to this day no Turkish government has ever acknowledged culpability for the genocide of the Armenians. Far from it: Not long ago, Erdogan threatened to deport Armenians from Turkish soil. Where and how does all this end? Turkey’s new ambitions and ethnic and religious chauvinism are antithetical to its NATO membership. The United States should not be treaty-bound to

defend a de facto ally of Iran or Syria, which are both eager to obtain nuclear weapons. European countries foresaw the problem when they denied Turkey membership in the now fragile European Union, fearful that Anatolian Islamists would have unfettered transit across European borders. In response, the United States should make contingency plans to relocate from its huge Air Force base at Incirlik — a facility that Turkey has in the past threatened to close. We should brace for new troubles in the Aegean region and Cyprus, as a bankrupt and often anti-American Greece is now alienated from both the United States and northern Europe — and yet increasingly vulnerable to a return of Ottoman regional ambitions. Just as the Shah of Iran’s pro-Western, secular transformation failed and led to the Ayatollah Khomeini’s anti-Western Islamic revolution, we are seeing something similar in Erdogan’s efforts to turn Ataturk’s Turkey back into the theocratic sultanate that ran the Eastern Mediterranean for more than three centuries. If Erdogan is intent on a suicidal reinvention of Turkey into a pale imitation of Ottoman hegemony, we can at least take steps to ensure that it will be his mess — and none of our own.

last week detailed what has happened in Memphis, where most residents are black. It said the city epitomizes “how rising unemployment and growing foreclosures in the recession have combined to destroy black wealth and income and erase two decades of slow progress.” The median income of black homeowners in Memphis has dropped to a level below that of 1990. It’s impossible to overstate the threat that this crisis of unemployment poses to the well-being of the United States. With so many people out of work and so much of the rest of the population deeply in debt, where is the spending going to come from to power a true economic recovery? The deficit hawks are forecasting Armageddon, but how is anyone going to get a handle on the federal deficits if we don’t get millions of people back to work and paying taxes? Some inner-city neighborhoods, where joblessness is off the charts, are becoming islands of despair. Rural communities and Rust Belt cities and towns are experiencing their own economic nightmares. There is no plan that I can see to get us out of this fix. Drastic cuts in government spending would only compound the crisis. State and local governments, for example, are shedding workers as we speak. Policymakers have acted as if they are unaware of the magnitude of this crisis. They have behaved as though somehow, through some economic magic perhaps, or the power of prayer, this ocean of joblessness will just disappear. That’s a pipe dream. Even if we somehow experienced a sudden, extraordinary surge in job growth (which no one is expecting), it would take a very long time just to get

back to the level of employment that we had when the recession started in late 2007. Heidi Shierholz, an economist with the Economic Policy Institute, addressed this. “In the boom of the late 1990s,” she said, “the fastest year of employment growth was 2.6 percent, in 1998. If, in the event we have that extremely strong level of growth from here on out, we would still not get down to pre-recession unemployment rates until January 2015.” For all the money that has been spent so far, the Obama administration and Congress have not made the kinds of investments that would put large numbers of Americans back to work and lead to robust economic growth. What is needed are the same things that have been needed all along: a vast program

DAVID BROOKS Studying the humanities will give you a familiarity with the language of emotion. In an information economy, many people have the ability to produce a technical innovation: a new MP3 player. Very few people have the ability to create a great brand: the iPod. Branding involves the location and arousal of affection, and you can’t do it unless you are conversant in the language of romance. Studying the humanities will give you a wealth of analogies. People think by comparison — Iraq is either like Vietnam or Bosnia; your boss is like Narcissus or Solon. People who have a wealth of analogies in their minds can think more precisely than those with few analogies. If you go through college without reading Thucydides, Herodotus and Gibbon, you’ll have been cheated out of a great repertoire of comparisons. Finally, and most importantly, studying the humanities helps you befriend The Big Shaggy.

Let me try to explain. Over the past century or so, people have built various systems to help them understand human behavior: economics, political science, game theory and evolutionary psychology. These systems are useful in many circumstances. But none completely explains behavior because, deep down, people have passions and drives that don’t lend themselves to systemic modeling. They have yearnings and fears that reside in an inner beast you could call The Big Shaggy. You can see The Big Shaggy at work when a governor of South Carolina suddenly chucks it all for a love voyage south of the equator, or when a smart, philosophical congressman from Indiana risks everything for an in-office affair. You can see The Big Shaggy at work when self-destructive overconfidence overtakes oil engineers in the Gulf, when go-go enthusiasm intoxicates investment bankers or when distrust grips politics. Those are the destructive sides of The Big Shaggy. But this tender beast is also responsible for the mysterious but fierce determination that drives Kobe Bryant, the graceful bemusement the Detroit Tigers pitcher Armando Galarraga showed when his perfect game slipped away, the selfless courage soldiers in Afghanistan show when they risk death for buddies

or a family they may never see again. Technical knowledge stops at the outer edge. If you spend your life riding the links of the Internet, you probably won’t get too far into The Big Shaggy either, because the fast, effortless prose of blogging (and journalism) lacks the heft to get you deep below. But over the centuries, there have been rare and strange people who possessed the skill of taking the upheavals of thought that emanate from The Big Shaggy and representing them in the form of story, music, myth, painting, liturgy, architecture, sculpture, landscape and speech. It’s probably dangerous to enter exclusively into this realm and risk being caught in a cloister, removed from the market and its accountability. But doesn’t it make sense to spend some time in the company of these languages — learning to feel different emotions, rehearsing different passions, experiencing different sacred rituals and learning to see in different ways? Few of us are hewers of wood. We navigate social environments. If you’re dumb about The Big Shaggy, you’ll probably get eaten by it. David Brooks is a columnist for The New York Times.

of infrastructure repair and renewal; an enormous national investment in clean energy aimed at transforming the way we develop and use energy in this country; and a transformation of the public schools to guarantee every child a firstrate education in a first-rate facility. This would be a staggeringly expensive and difficult undertaking and would entail a great deal of shared sacrifice. (It would also require an end to our insane waste of resources on mindless and endless warfare.) The benefits over the long term would be enormous. Bold and effective leadership would have put us on this road to a sustainable future. Instead, we’re approaching a dead end. Bob Herbert is a columnist for The New York Times.

Humanities cultivate depth of understanding hen the going gets tough, the tough take accounting. When the job market worsens, many students figure they can’t indulge in an English or a history major. They have to study something that will lead directly to a job. So it is almost inevitable that over the next few years, as labor markets struggle, the humanities will continue their long slide. There already has been a nearly 50 percent drop in the portion of liberal arts majors over the past generation, and that trend is bound to accelerate. Once the stars of university life, humanities now play bit roles when prospective students take their college tours. The labs are more glamorous than the libraries. But allow me to pause for a moment and throw another sandbag on the levy of those trying to resist this tide. Let me stand up for the history, English and art classes. Studying the humanities improves your ability to read and write. No matter what you do in life, you will have a huge advantage if you can read a paragraph and discern its meaning (a rarer talent than you might suppose). You will have enormous power if you are the person in the office who can write a clear and concise memo.

Tumor scare left a scar — and gratitude y doctor’s call came early last month just as I was completing a column noting that 41 percent of Americans get cancer. That statistic felt as remote as a puff of cloud in the stratosphere — until my physician, Gary Raizes, gently began to break the news to me that I had a tumor in my right kidney. The result was a grim monthlong whirlwind of doctor visits, medical tests and furrowed brows. The doctors agreed that the odds were 10 percent that my tumor was benign, 90 percent that it was malignant. I had no option: Surgery was essential. My built-in optimism was shaken when I read that five-year survival rates for kidney cancer are less than 50 percent. Ten days ago, I had a three-hour operation. I lost 10 percent of my right kidney, along with a tumor a bit more than an inch long. Afterward, I felt as if I’d been hit by a truck, and I gained a 6-inch scar. And, boy, did I feel lucky! The main reason that kidney cancers are so deadly is that they are typically discovered late. My tumor was discovered early only by accident, through a CT scan ordered for another reason entirely. I confess that I had been committing thought crimes against the physician who ordered the scan, Mark Fialk, wondering if it was an example of out-of-control testing — and now I felt that Fialk might have saved my life. But I also felt lucky in another way. This is trite but also so, so true: A brush with mortality turns out to be the best way to appreciate how blue the sky is, how sensuous grass feels underfoot, how melodious kids’ voices are. Even teenagers’ voices. A friend and colleague, David Sanger, who conquered cancer a decade ago, says, “No matter how bad a day you’re having, you say to yourself: ‘I’ve had worse.’ ” Floyd Norris, a friend in The New York Times’ business section, is now undergoing radiation treatment for cancer after surgery on his face and neck. He wrote on his blog: “It is not fun, but it has been inspiring. In a way, I am happier about my life than at any time I can remember.” I don’t mean to wax lyrical about the joys of tumors. But maybe the most elusive possession is contentment with what we have. There’s no better way to attain that than to glimpse our mortality. My surgeon, Douglas Scherr, said that his patients frequently derive additional satisfaction from life after a cancer diagnosis, and at least for a time are more focused on what feels more important — like families. In contrast, none of us want this for an epitaph: “He sweated many weekends at the office, ignoring his family but earning a huge bonus.” As regular readers know, I’ve written frequently about suspected links between chemicals and health. In my own case, I can’t help wondering if there might not be a connection as well. I grew up on a sheep and cherry farm in Oregon, and as a kid I helped mix the pesticides in the sprayer. Dogs on the farm have often died from cancer, and some have had unusual kidney cysts and deformities. Could the orchard pesticides perhaps have some impact on kidneys? Nobody knows. After four days in the hospital, I spent a week recovering at home from the surgery. As I was finishing up this column, the pathologist’s report on my tumor finally came back. Scherr told me that my tumor turned out to be an oncocytoma, which is benign. Astonishingly, against all odds and expectations, I hadn’t had cancer after all. So today I have an impressive scar, a bit less kidney, a big bellyache, and far more appreciation for the glory of life. My hope is that when you put this column down, you’ll think about what you can do to reduce the risk of getting an ominous doctor’s call like mine last month: Stop smoking and avoid secondhand smoke. Slather on sunscreen and avoid tanning salons. Avoid charred meats. Check yourself over for lumps, changes or irregularities, whether in breasts or testicles or skin, and consult a doctor if you have doubts. Try to microwave food in glass or ceramic containers rather than plastic. Toss out plastic food containers that are marked 3, 6 or 7 at the bottom (unless they say “BPA-free”). Buy a radon detector to check radon levels around your house. And, believe me, it’s never too early — cancer or no cancer — to start appreciating our wondrous world, instead of disparaging its imperfections.

Economy demands a more active Obama I know the president has a lot on his mind, but the No. 1 problem facing the U.S. continues to fester, and that problem is unemployment. The jobs report for May was grim. President Barack Obama tried to put the best face on it, but it was undeniably bad news, which is why the stock markets tanked. The private sector created just 41,000 jobs in May, a dismal performance. The government hired 411,000 workers to help with the census, but those jobs are temporary and will vanish in a few months. Unemployment is crushing families and stifling the prospects of young people. Given that reality, President Obama’s take on the May numbers seemed oddly out of touch. “This report,” he said, “is a sign that our economy is getting stronger by the day.” The economy is sick, and all efforts to revive it that do not directly confront the staggering levels of joblessness are doomed. Even the meager job growth in the private sector last month was composed mostly of temporary work. Lawrence Mishel, the president of the Economic Policy Institute, had the right take when he said, “These new data do not present a picture of a healthy private sector and offer nothing even closely resembling the job growth we need to dig us out of a very deep hole.” More than 15 million Americans are out of work, and nearly half have been jobless for six months or longer. New college graduates are having a terrible time finding work, and many are taking jobs that require only a high school education. Teachers are facing the worst employment market since the Depression. Entire communities are going under. A remarkable article in The Times

Contra Costa Times

By Tish Wells

OAKLAND, Calif. — In the mind of cartoonist Daniel Clowes, the modern egoist is a balding, middle-aged schlub named Wilson. Lonely and self-loathing, Wilson, the subject — and title — of Clowes’ latest graphic novel, hangs around the coffee shops on Oakland’s Grand Avenue, verbally sucker-punching strangers with whom he instigates onesided conversations. He is rude, neurotic and opinionated. Yet you can’t help but like the guy because he is also honest, funny and desperate to better his circumstances. “Wilson” (Drawn and Quarterly, $21.95) is the latest in a cartooning career built around antagonistic protagonists who operate on a somewhat higher level of consciousness — and pay the price. Among such memorable Clowes characters are David Boring, the passionless, self-alienating antihero, and Enid Coleslaw, the angst-ridden, morbid teen in “Ghost World,” the seminal graphic novel that became a cult film and earned Clowes an Oscar nomination for best adapted screenplay. “I find malcontents to be amusing,” Clowes says on a recent morning in his Oakland backyard. He lives on a treelined block with his wife, Erika, 6-year-old son, Charles, and emotionally needy beagle, Ella. “I have a lot of friends who are cranky complainers, and I guess I have a high tolerance for that.” Given the cartoonist’s predilection for dark characters, you’d expect him to be the biggest grouch of all. Sorry to disappoint. The picture of poise and Midwestern manners (he was born and raised in Chicago), Clowes, 49, is beyond nice. Tall and slender with light blue eyes, he is warm and inquisitive, and he remembers the names of fans who wrote him 20 years ago. Clowes, an illustrator for the New Yorker, is traditional in other ways, too. At a time when print is down and young cartoonists are turning to the Web, Clowes still draws everything by hand — “I’ll never type in a URL to look at comics,” he says — and he was so shaken when Cody’s Books closed in Berkeley, Calif., that he relates it to how a Catholic would feel if the only church in town shut its doors. Clowes spends much of his time in local spots. Most of “Wilson” came to life at Jennie’s Cafe on Grand Avenue. After his father’s death, Wilson realizes how alone he is in the world. So he forces a reunion of himself, his ex-wife and the teenage daughter he never knew he had. The three don’t exactly hit it off, but you can’t help but root for Wilson. Here is a cynical loner who counts his dog as his only friend. Yet he desperately wants human connection. Even if he has to manufacture it. “Wilson has a noble struggle,” Clowes says. “He is trying to get something bigger out of his life. He’s expecting other people to live up to his vision of how things

Graphic novelist Daniel Clowes, at his home in Oakland, Calif., has a new book titled “Wilson.” The plot features a character who hangs around the coffee shops on Oakland’s Grand Avenue. should be, and they don’t.” Clowes and Wilson share more than a ZIP code. It was in a suburban Chicago hospital that Clowes came up with Wilson two years ago. His father was dying of lung cancer, and, like Wilson, Clowes was by his dad’s side. To pass the time, Clowes doodled dozens of comic strips — mostly stick figures and dialogue balloons — until Wilson popped into his head. “By the end of the week, I felt like I knew this character,” says Clowes, who calls Wilson an exaggerated version of himself. “You’re always looking for a character who can take you on an adventure rather than forcing them to go somewhere. He was like a real guy. I feel like I’ve seen him walk by while sitting at the cafes on Grand Avenue. He might be an ex hipster. Maybe he dropped out of Cal.” The graphic novel is arranged in single-page strips with punch lines (usually delivered by Wilson at someone else’s expense). Clowes drew Wilson in multiple styles that play off each other: Sometimes he’s a realistic man with back hair and a beer gut. Other times he’s squat and cartoonish with dots for eyes. “I wanted each strip to have its own presence and integrity and subtle, tonal shifts,” he explains. “They are like one-page jokes, but the punch line is almost tragic. Sometimes it’s not a punch line. It’s almost the opposite of one.” Clowes attended the Pratt Institute in New York and graduated in 1984. He began his career

as an underground cartoonist with the detective comic book “Lloyd Llewellyn.” In 1989, he created his seminal series “Eightball,” which cemented his role as a leader in the comics world. He is the only cartoonist to have won the Eisner, Ignatz and Harvey awards, top honors in the world of comics, as well as the Oscar nomination. Clowes moved from Brooklyn to Berkeley in 1992, settling in Oakland in 2000. He found a new fan base in 2001 when he and director Terry Zwigoff adapted “Ghost World” into a movie starring Thora Birch and Scarlett Johansson. In 2006, Clowes and Zwigoff collaborated on “Art School Confidential,” also based on a Clowes comic and starring John Malkovich and Jim Broadbent. His next project, “Megolomania,” is an animated teen film directed by Michel Gondry. Actors Seth Rogen and Steve Buscemi will supply the voices. Even though Clowes is hardly the Hollywood type, he enjoys collaborative screenwriting as a break from his own solitary work. Not that Clowes minds working alone. But the best advice he ever got about cartooning came from artist and illustrator Robert Crumb, who told him to take an occasional hiatus from cartooning. “He told me that you hit 50 and realize you’re talking to yourself and you’re nuts,” Clowes says. “So he said to find something else and get away from cartooning for a while. That way when you come back to it you can really appreciate it.”

Leo Tolstoy’s “Anna Karenina” has had a futuristic steampunk makeover in “Android Karenina.” The latest literary mash-up takes Tolstoy’s classic novel of love and adultery in Russian high society and stuffs it full of robots, wormholes, spaceships and time travel. Ben H. Winters, known for “Sense and Sensibility and Sea-Monsters” — a collaboration with Jane Austen — takes on the massive task of converting a thousand pages of a Russian literary masterpiece into a svelte science fiction action novel only half that long. Winters says, “The main concern was to preserve the two love stories that between Anna and (her lover) Vronsky, and that between Levin and Kitty — we had to abridge the book, and in abridging it, I had to make sure we kept everything relating to the love stories.” Here the Russians are all served by their android companions, who are often closer to them than their families. The androids play integral parts in society. Tragedy ensues when the robots are withdrawn to be reprogrammed in one of the many threads that

run through “Android Karenina.” While “Anna Karenina” was based in the 1870s Russian society, “Android Karenina” has overtones of Jules Verne, Isaac Asimov, Philip K. Dick and the 1927 German expressionist science fiction film “Metropolis.” Consider this: “Directly behind (Anna), hovering like a storm cloud over the fountain’s swirling waters, was what could only be described as a terrible undulating nothingness: a greyblack hole in the fabric of the atmosphere, wavering in the air above the fountain, and pulling, pulling Anna Karenina in towards itself.” Winters says he first read “Anna Karenina” in college. “It’s a bear, it’s a wonderful book.” He says that Tolstoy was “in no way a thriller writer. ... I wanted to bring Tolstoy’s book to life in a new way. And to have a book that would be satisfying in and of itself even if you didn’t have to read the original.” The book deviates greatly from the classic but stays true to its lovers and plot. There is a good deal of foreshadowing that you don’t notice until the last hundred pages. Winters hopes that readers will stick with it. “I tried to make the end of it worth the trip.”

Try out these 10 hot summer reads By Tom Beer • Newsday

THE BULLETIN • Sunday, June 13, 2010 F5

Limbaugh bio fails to uncover anything revealing, insightful “Rush Limbaugh: An Army of One” by Zev Chafets (Sentinel, 229 pgs., $25.95)

By Christopher Ave St. Louis Post-Dispatch

OK, class, school’s (almost) out and the summer reading season has begun. The syllabus: 10 books that are beach-blanket-ready, whether you’re reading them on the printed page or a digital screen. Let the reading begin. “The Summer We Read Gatsby” by Danielle Ganek This one has all the ingredients: a pair of yin-and-yang half sisters, an inherited cottage in Sout ha mpton and a shared obsession with F. ScottFitzgerald’s great Jazz Age novel. Throw in some Gatsbyesque parties, ex-boyfriends, artists and real estate agents, and you’ve got required beach reading for the Hamptons set — and the rest of us. (Viking, available now)

“How Did You Get This Number” by Sloane Crosley Crosley’s first book, a collection of humorous essays entitled, “I Was Told There’d Be Cake,” chronicled her life as a well-connected, occasionally hapless book publicist adrift in Manhattan. HBO is developing a pilot — hey, it worked for Candace Bushnell and Jonathan Ames — and now Crosley offers a second volume of her distinctive, delicious wit. (Riverhead, Tuesday)

“Cum Laude” by Cecily von Ziegesar Move over, Blair and Serena — here comes Shipley Gilbert, a privileged blond freshman at Dexter College in small-town Maine, and one of the protagonists in this first “adult” novel from the “Gossip Girl” scribe. We’ll miss the filthyrich Upper East Side milieu of the YA series, but we’re certain these college kids will generate some juicy scandals Down East. Can the CW series be far behind? (Hyperion, available now)

“Spies of the Balkans” by Alan Furst Part-time Sag Harborite Furst is back with the latest in his string of atmospheric and addictive World War II spy stories, this one set in the Macedonian port city of Salonika, where Greek forces are at war with the Italian occupation forces in neighboring Albania, and policeman Costa Zannis finds himself caught up in international intrigue. (Random House, Tuesday)

“Everything Lovely, Effortless, Safe” by Jenny Hollowell This first novel about an aspiring actress in Hollywood, a former evangelical, has already garnered comparisons to Joan Didion, Nathanael West and Lorrie Moore. Hollowell grew up a Jehovah’s Witness and now works as an advertising producer, where she has auditioned actors for commercials. (Henry Holt, available now)

“The Thousand Autumns of Jacob De Zoet” by David Mitchell Those looking for the summer’s big historical novel, look no further: The two-time Booker Award finalist has delivered the tale of a young clerk with the Dutch East Indies Company who, in 1799, is posted to a manmade island in Nagasaki Harbor. Political intrigue and cross-cultural romance ensue. (Random House, June 29)

Rush Limbaugh is one of America’s most polarizing figures. Perched at the intersection of politics and entertainment, shunned by most of the nation’s cultural elites but revered by millions, the bombastic Cape Girardeau, Mo., native is worthy of study. And yet, not much serious, nonpartisan biographical work has been done on Limbaugh. So he was a natural subject for author Zev Chafets, a former newspaper columnist who wrote a piece on the radio host for the New York Times Sunday Magazine. Although Limbaugh was wary at first, Chafets eventually persuaded him to agree to a series of interviews and e-mail exchanges. Such material allows the author to quote Limbaugh at some length on various issues. And Chafets uses extensive excerpts from Limbaugh’s radio show to illustrate how he uses hyperbole, satire and confidence in a bedrock conservative belief in limited government to make his points. But despite such access, Chafets’ book is far from the serious, detailed biography that Limbaugh’s stature so clearly deserves. Chafets begins by taking the reader on a quick trip to Cape Girardeau, unnecessarily inserting himself into the narrative from the start. In chats with Limbaugh’s younger brother, David, and boyhood friend Frank Kinder, brother of Missouri Lt. Gov.

Peter Kinder, Chafets gathers only a fleeting portrait of his subject’s early life. He wastes space on such unrevealing quotes as this one from Frank Kinder: “We more or less grew up in each other’s houses.” On driving to Cape Girardeau from St. Louis, the author allows that the farmland “offers no temptation to stop or sightsee,” and he shares his surprise to find Tennessee Williams on the town’s Wall of Fame: “I had no idea Tennessee Williams was from Missouri.” It is the kind of “drive-by journalism” that Limbaugh so often derides. The book moves ahead in similar fashion, tracing Limbaugh’s indifferent academic progress and his obsession with radio. We meet “Big Rush,” Limbaugh’s father, who is presented as vaguely disappointed. Although we are told that pleasing his father remains a driving force in Limbaugh’s life, we get little idea of why. We learn that as a radio professional, Limbaugh bounced around several disc jockey jobs before settling on political talk as a format. It seemed a natural fit. But why did he choose politics? The answer isn’t clear, at least not in this narrative. We trace Limbaugh’s rise, his clash with Bill Clinton and the emergence of his “Ditto-head” army of followers. We hear that theatrical voice vilifying liber-

als, welfare recipients and, in a bit Limbaugh later apologized for, AIDS patients. And we learn about his loss of hearing and his addiction to prescription painkillers — but only what Limbaugh has already publicly acknowledged. And, of course, we find Limbaugh thriving under the Barack Obama presidency, thrilling his listeners with his “I hope he fails” routine among others. Chafets offers little analysis of Limbaugh’s success, nor does he get particularly revealing thoughts from his subject. “Limbaugh had been concerned about Obama’s view of America for a long time,” Chafets writes. “From his perspective, he was right to be.” Well, yes, I imagine he was. Whatever you think of his views or his style, Rush Limbaugh is a tremendously influential leader of millions of culturally conservative listeners, if not the Republican Party. His life and career deserve a rigorous review. Unfortunately, Chafets provides more of an expanded magazine article than a serious biography.

“As Husbands Go” by Susan Isaacs Best known for “Compromising Positions” and “Shining Through,” Isaacs has a new novel — part suspense, part satire — about a Long Island florist and mother whose world is turned upside down when her “ideal” plastic-surgeon husband is found murdered in the Upper East Side apartment of an escort. (Scribner, July 6)

“Layover in Dubai” by Dan Fesperman Fesperman, author of “The Arms Maker of Berlin” and “The Prisoner of Guantanamo,” sets his new thriller in that strange urban oasis known as Dubai, the gleaming highrise Persian Gulf city. There, a visiting corporate auditor and a local detective try to solve the murder of an American after a wild night on the town. (Knopf, July 13)

“Super Sad True Love Story” by Gary Shteyngart If you think America’s on the wrong track now, wait till you read the new novel from Gary Shteyngart (“The Russian Debutante’s Handbook,” “Absurdistan”). The America of the not-so-distant future is hopelessly in debt to China, ruled by the Bipartisan Party and dominated by megacorporations. Against this comically dystopian backdrop, Shteyngart presents the romance of middle-aged Lenny Abramov and 20-something Eunice Park. (Random House, July 27).

“I Curse the River of Time” by Per Petterson From the Norwegian author of the international bestseller “Out Stealing Horses” comes a melancholy novel, set in 1989, about a Norwegian communist who seeks a new lease on life as he goes through a divorce, learns that his mother has cancer and communism is collapsing in Europe. Sure, the subject matter sounds bleak, but Petterson fans — and curious newcomers — will snap it up. (Graywolf, Aug. 3)

F6 Sunday, June 13, 2010 • THE BULLETIN

Gender Continued from F1 Each of these questions is complicated enough to warrant a column, so I’ll take them one at a time, starting this week with the issue of sex differences. When Summers raised the issue to fellow economists and other researchers at a conference in 2005, his hypothesis was caricatured in the press as a revival of the old notion that “girls can’t do math.” But Summers said no such thing. He acknowledged that there were many talented female scientists and discussed ways to eliminate the social barriers they faced. Yet even if all these social factors were eliminated, he hypothesized, the science faculty composition at an elite school like Harvard might still be skewed by a biological factor: the greater variability observed among men in intelligence test scores and various traits. Men and women might, on average, have equal mathematical ability, but there could still be disproportionately more men with very low or very high scores. These extremes often don’t matter much because relatively few people are involved, leaving the bulk of men and women clustered around the middle. But a tenured physicist at a leading university, Summers suggested, might well need skills and traits found in only one person in 10,000: the top 0.01 percent of the population, a tiny group that would presumably include more men because it’s at the extreme right tail of the distribution curve. “I would like nothing better than to be proved wrong,” Summers told the economists, expressing the hope that gender imbalances could be rectified simply by eliminating social barriers. But he added, “My guess is that there are some very deep forces here that are going to be with us for a long time.” Summers was pilloried for even suggesting the idea, and the critics took up his challenge to refute the hypothesis. Some have claimed he was proven wrong by recent reports of girls closing the gender gap on math scores in the United States and other countries. But even if those reports

(which have been disputed) are accurate, they involve closing the gap only for average math scores — not for the extreme scores that Summers was discussing. Some scientists and advocates for gender equity have argued that the remaining gender gap in extreme scores is rapidly shrinking and will disappear. It was called “largely an artifact of changeable sociocultural factors” last year by two researchers at the University of Wisconsin, Janet Hyde and Janet Mertz. They noted evidence of the gap narrowing and concluded, “Thus, there is every reason to believe that it will continue to narrow in the future.” But some of the evidence for the disappearing gender gap involved standardized tests that aren’t sufficiently difficult to make fine distinctions among the brighter students. These tests, like the annual ones required in American public schools, are limited by what’s called the ceiling effect: If you’re measuring people in a room with a 6-foot ceiling, you can’t distinguish among the ones taller than 6 feet. Now a team of psychologists at Duke University has looked at the results of tests with more headroom. In an article in a forthcoming issue of the journal Intelligence, they analyze the test scores of students in the United States who took college admissions tests while they were still in the seventh grade. As part of an annual talent search since 1981, the SAT and ACT tests have been given to more than 1.6 mil-

lion gifted seventh-graders, with roughly equal numbers of boys and girls participating. The Duke researchers — Jonathan Wai, Megan Cacchio, Martha Putallaz and Matthew Makel — focused on the extreme right tail of the distribution curve: people ranking in the top 0.01 percent of the general population, which for a seventh-grader means scoring above 700 on the SAT math test. In the early 1980s, there were 13 boys for every girl in that group, but by 1991 the gender gap had narrowed to four to one, presumably because of sociocultural factors like encouragement and math instruction offered to girls. Since then, however, the math gender gap hasn’t narrowed, despite the continuing programs to encourage girls. The Duke researchers report that there are still four boys for every girl at the extreme right tail of the scores for the SAT math test. The boygirl ratio has also remained fairly constant, at about three to one, at the right tail of the ACT tests of both math and science reasoning. Among the 19 seventh-graders who got a perfect score on the ACT science test in the past two decades, 18 were boys. Meanwhile, the seventh-grade girls outnumbered the boys at the right tail of tests measuring verbal reasoning and writing ability. The Duke researchers report in Intelligence, “Our data clearly show that there are sex differences in cognitive abilities in the extreme right tail, with some favoring males and some favor-

ing females.” The researchers say it’s impossible to predict how long these math and science gender gaps will last. But given the gaps’ stability for two decades, the researchers conclude, “Thus, sex differences in abilities in the extreme right tail should not be dismissed as no longer part of the explanation for the dearth of women in math-intensive fields of science.” Other studies have shown that these differences in extreme test scores correlate with later achievements in science and academia. Even when you consider only members of an elite group like the top percentile of the seventh-graders on the SAT math test, someone at the 99.9 level is more likely than someone at the 99.1 level to get a doctorate in science or to win tenure at a top university. Of course, a high score on a test is hardly the only factor important for a successful career in science, and no one claims that the right-tail disparity is the sole reason for the relatively low number of female professors in math-oriented sciences. There are other potentially more important explanations, both biological and cultural, including possible social bias against women. But before we accept Congress’ proclamation of bias, before we start re-educating scientists at workshops, it’s worth taking a hard look at the evidence of bias against female scientists. That will be the subject of another column.

Mosley’s new series resumes, but lacks fire “Known to Evil” by Walter Mosley (Riverhead, 326 pgs., $25.95)

By Dan DeLuca The Philadelphia Inquirer

Walter Mosley has left Easy Rawlins in the past in Los Angeles and moved east to modern-day New York with Leonid Trotter McGill. “LT” is a trained-boxer private detective with a criminal past and a jaundiced eye. He’s a middle-aged, African-American, contemporary Chandleresque tough guy with a thoushalt-not-kill-but-may-happilybeat-thine-adversary-to-a-pulp moral code. He’s a short, stocky, balding, guilt-ridden, hot-tempered detective with a soft heart who is locked in a loveless marriage with a cold Scandinavian beauty even more disloyal than he, and he’s raising three children, only one of them his own. A trusted fixer for powerful Manhattan elites and sworn enemy to many a member of law enforcement, the well-read son of a communist father who renamed himself Tolstoy, McGill occupies a dubiously obtained office suite in a gleaming Manhattan skyscraper. But he does his dirty work down in the streets, where he’s simultaneously trying to serve his clients, protect his family, and right his own past wrongs. “Known to Evil” is the second in a sequence that could be as fruitful as Mosley’s Easy Rawlins series, which began in post-World War II L.A. with “Devil in a Blue Dress” (1990). McGill first appeared last year in “The Long Fall.” “Known to Evil” enriches McGill’s character by filling out details of his sordid past only hinted at in the first book. The prime reason for reading Mosley is his protagonists’ authoritative, compelling narrative voice. McGill is in his 50s, and he’s lived a rich, shady life as a black man in America. Not telling the truth is a key part of

his business. And he’s engaging when recalling his mysteriously aphoristic childhood conversations with the wayward father who home-schooled him on Hegel, Marx and Bakunin. McGill is a likable, if deeply flawed, companion. And that’s a good thing, because “Known to Evil” is packed with far too much plot. The main thread, which has several complications of its own, concerns shadowy powerbroker Alphonse Rinaldi, who hires McGill to find a missing young woman for reasons that are unclear, but brings our hero into satisfying conflict with various coldblooded types. There are several subplots. One involves McGill trying to do right by an innocent man named Ron Sharkey who “was a metaphor for well over twenty years of criminal activity on my part,” and is now a downward-spiraling junkie. On top of that, there’s a particularly unbelievable conflict with the obnoxious building manager who has inexplicably won the heart of McGill’s true love, the beautiful Aura. Mosley is skilled at keeping all these balls in air, and the pages turning. But some of the story lines are too glib and wrapped up too easily, particularly the one concerning his children. McGill’s hit-man pal Hush is a bit too similar to Mouse, Rawlins’ murderous friend. Reading two McGill mysteries back-to-back began to feel like too much of a good thing. I don’t know that I would recommend spending that much concentrated time with Mosley’s new franchise. The author has published 36 books since 1990 and works a little too fast for his own good. However, checking back to visit McGill once a year or so — the rate at which a new book will likely appear, judging by Mosley’s track record — seems like a perfectly agreeable proposition.

Leaving Oregon after 66, 67? Citing tax measures, a handful of businesses may be (quietly) considering it, but the fallout remains unclear

B U S I N E SS IN BRIEF

By David Holley The Bulletin

30-year loan rates hit yearly low point Rates on 30-year fixed mortgages fell last week to the lowest level of the year and were barely shy of the all-time low. Mortgage finance company Freddie Mac says the average rate sank to 4.72 percent, down from 4.79 percent the week before. It was just above the record of 4.71 set in December. Though mortgage rates are at attractive levels, the housing market hasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t benefited. The number of customers applying for a mortgage to purchase a property fell to the lowest level in 13 years last week and was down 35 percent from a month ago, according to the Mortgage Bankers Association. Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a sign the market is struggling without a tax credit of up to $8,000 for first-time buyers, which expired at the end of April.

About a half-dozen businesses have contacted Idahoâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Department of Commerce during the past two months to discuss the possibility of moving from Oregon. Six may not be the mass exodus opponents to Measures 66 and 67 â&#x20AC;&#x201D; the Oregon tax hikes on businesses and higherincome taxpayers voters approved in January â&#x20AC;&#x201D; warned of. But some worry the

fallout from the measures is still coming, saying business owners will move companies out of Oregon or change residency to a state with lower personal tax rates. Even for business owners who stay in Oregon, there is less incentive to grow their businesses because of the measures, said Wes Price, a certified public accountant with Harrigan Price Fronk & Co. LLP in Bend. If someone has an idea, he or she will take it to another state, Price said.

â&#x20AC;&#x153;It doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t happen immediately,â&#x20AC;? Price said about the impact of the higher taxes. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It happens â&#x20AC;Ś over time.â&#x20AC;? Steve Greer said numerous customers at his accountancy firm asked him to compare the cost of doing business in a different state. He said owners may not move their businesses because itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s expensive, but they may switch personal residencies to avoid increased income taxes. Business ownersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; objections to the tax hikes remain primarily anecdotal, however, because most wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t go public with complaints about the impact of the measures or curiosity about leaving the state.

Familiar names popping up as IPOs Most investors think of initial public offerings as chances to buy shares in young, hot and often obscure companies for the first time. But the IPOs that have been announced in the past five weeks include some familiar companies, such as Toys R Us and the firm that created the Nielsen TV ratings. One reason for these deja vu IPOs is that the private equity firms that bought many well-known companies and took them private over the past decade are now trying to cash out. Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s happening due to legislation that would raise the income tax rate on private equity firms. If their owners sell these companies now, they will keep more of the profit than they would if they waited and sold them next year. â&#x20AC;&#x201D; From wire reports

Tour of homes on

Realtor Megan Power leaves a house she had just shown on her real estate bike tour in Bend earlier this month.

2 wheels â&#x20AC;&#x153;Buying a house is such a huge purchase. ... In a car, you zip by, run in to see a house and then zip away, where on a bike, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a little slower and you get to soak it in.â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Megan Power, broker with Coldwell Banker Morris Real Estate in Bend

By Andrew Moore The Bulletin

everal years ago, Megan Power moved to Bend from Indiana to indulge in the regionâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s recreational opportunities and earned a real estate license in order to have the flexibility to enjoy them. Last year, the avid bicyclist hit upon a way to marry her passion for the sport with her profession and began asking her clients if they would rather tour homes by bike than by car. As she thought at the time, and now believes profoundly, tour-

A cable television commercial for the Redondo Beach, Calif., restaurant Eat at Joeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s features high-definition video, a cast of 40 and a catchy jingle that will leave you humming. Particularly enthusiastic about the slick new ad was Alex Jordan, the restaurateur who decided to take the plunge into television advertising after meeting a couple who were starting their own ad agency. They wrote and produced the 30-second spot for $5,000, and they helped him broker a deal to deliver it to 300,000 homes for $1 every time it ran. In a still-tough economy, hard times in advertising and media have led to a surprising bonanza for small businesses seeking to market themselves. Across all media, the cost of developing marketing campaigns, creating ads and placing them is down â&#x20AC;&#x201D; making marketing more affordable than itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s ever been.

NEW YORK â&#x20AC;&#x201D; They say that bad things come in threes, and in the past decade investors have seen two market bubbles burst. Now more than a few money-managers believe a third downturn is in the making â&#x20AC;&#x201D; in bonds. And just as the previous losses were made worse by investors rushing headlong into assets that showed signs of overheating, bond prices are being inflated by investors pouring cash in at record rates. Yet unlike the technologyand credit-fueled bubbles which resulted from eager buyers chasing returns, this latest bubble is forming in part because frightened investors want to minimize risk and avoid further losses. After the fall of technology stocks in 2000 and the crisis of 2008, many investors shunned stocks and headed for the perceived safety of fixed income. But that stampede into bonds, coupled with chang-

es in the economy, imperils investors with losses in longer-term bond funds. Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s because interest rates will likely rise in coming years from a base of almost zero today. Higher rates slam bond values. But investors mostly only know what theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve seen in the past 25 years, which for the most part has been a period of steadily declining interest rates and rising bond prices.

Attitudes worthy of a toast S

tarting a business in this ailing economy takes courage, conviction and cash. Underscore that list when the business is in Bendâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s uber-competitive restaurant industry, where turnover is all too common. But itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s people like Corey Donovan and Amy Christiansen, James Orsillo and Peter Keenan â&#x20AC;&#x201D; all planning or running new restaurants â&#x20AC;&#x201D; who demonstrate the kind of enthusiasm and entrepreneurship that gives one encouragement about Bend and the broader local economy. Multiply their determination among countless people like them across the country and you have an antidote to a national funk. They represent small-business people who want to make a difference, who believe strongly in themselves and what they offer. Theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re out to make things better, not wait for things to get better. As theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re at it, theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re employing more than 60 part- and full-time people among them in an economy that needs jobs. Ten positions here, 20 there â&#x20AC;&#x201D; they add up. Donovan, 27, and Christiansen, 30, engaged to be married, are, as Christiansen said, pouring their â&#x20AC;&#x153;heart and soulâ&#x20AC;? into their new French restaurant, Tart, which they plan to open later this month in the former 28 restaurant site downtown. They want to do their part to re-energize a city center they love. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a dream come true,â&#x20AC;? Donovan said of owning his first dining establishment. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a place where he can apply his education in the culinary arts and business with his industry experience, most recently running Pastini Pastaria in the Old Mill District, in his own venture. Christiansen, who also owns a pharmacy in Prineville, said she and Donovan know what it takes to run a business. Theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re realistic about costs and forecasts and know they must run a tight ship. For Donovan, thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s no better feeling than pleasing customers, which the couple envision doing regularly with their culinary creations. The food will be global in reach, with something for everyone, he said. The French part is â&#x20AC;&#x153;really the attention to detail and the integrity of the food,â&#x20AC;? Christiansen said. In the St. Clair Place lobby outside the restaurant, they also plan to offer coffees, pastries and quiches in the mornings, and wines, cheeses and meats in the evenings, beginning about a month after Tart opens. Keenan, 33, general manager of the Northwest Urban Grill that opened June 3 on Industrial Way, brings the same determination to a spot that most recently housed the River Mill Grill and, before that, Fireside red. He knows the space well. He co-owned Fireside red, which opened in February 2008 before the economy crashed, costing him everything when the restaurant closed in May 2009. He didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t give up, and others believed in his abilities. Called by the owners of Northwest Urban Grill to rekindle an appealing space overlooking the Deschutes River and Old Mill District, Keenan is determined that modern Pacific Northwest cuisine and good service are a winning combination. Everybody can say it, â&#x20AC;&#x153;but you have to be able to deliver on that â&#x20AC;Ś consistently.â&#x20AC;? The restaurant will buy everything it can â&#x20AC;&#x201D; vegetables, meats, wines â&#x20AC;&#x201D; from Oregon and other Northwest vendors, trying to do its part, he said, to help the local and regional economy. It hired locals to rebuild booths, others to improve the restaurantâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s expansive deck and about 30 others to staff the facility. And then thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the money customers spend. It trickles down through the staff and the wider economy, which â&#x20AC;&#x153;is why it is important to get out there and support your local restaurants,â&#x20AC;? he said. Finally, thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Orsillo, 42, owner of Amaliaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Mexican restaurant downtown. He opened the eatery in late March to return to work after early retirement from the semiconductor engineering business, to help downtown and connect with the local community in a way his technology business didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t allow. Heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s having fun, said sales the first two months were better than expected and believes in Bend and its downtown. He thinks this summer will be a turning point for Bend, when business returns to more normal summertime levels. The kind of optimism and determination Orsillo and others reflect is contagious. Hereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s hoping it spreads.

Little iPhone game’s success forces big players to adjust “The success of Apple’s devices is the biggest source of concern in our packaged-software business.” — Haruhiro Tsujimoto, of Capcom, Japan’s fifth-largest game maker By Pavel Alpeyev Bloomberg News

TOKYO — The runaway success of an iPhone game created by two brothers on a laptop is pressuring Japanese video-game makers such as Square Enix Holdings and Capcom to reboot their strategies and appeal to mainstream players. New York-based Lima Sky struck gold with “Doodle Jump,” a game downloaded 4.7 million times from Apple’s iTunes Store. It’s now in the top 10 paid applications for the trio of Apple products: iPhone, iPad and iPod Touch. Making hit games for Apple’s mobile devices has proven difficult for major Japanese publishers, which typically devote millions of dollars, large creative teams and several years to develop games. Square Enix has no entries in Apple’s top 100, while Capcom’s 99-cent quiz game ranks 98th. Activision Blizzard, the world’s largest video-game publisher, has two. “The success of Apple’s devices is the biggest source of concern in our packaged-software business,” Haruhiro Tsujimoto, president of Capcom, Japan’s fifth-largest game maker, said in an interview. “Demand for the iPhone has spread to the casual user demographic, a trend likely to be amplified with iPad’s release, making it a gaming platform in its own right and a market that cannot be ignored.” The top-selling paid application in the iTunes Store is the 99-cent “Angry Birds” by Rovio Mobile Ltd., a Helsinki-based developer with 17 employees. Igor Pusenjak, 34, created “Doodle Jump” while teaching part-time at Parsons The New School for Design in New York. His brother, Marko, 32, handled programming on a laptop. They formed Lima Sky in 2008 and released the game in April 2009. The title, in which players guide a four-legged creature up an endless series of platforms, was the most-downloaded paid application in the United States in April and topped paid game rankings in January, according to Utrecht, Netherlands-based market re-

searcher Distimo. “We started working on the iPhone apps in our spare time — nights and weekends,” Igor Pusenjak said in an e-mail. His two-man company has “practically no overhead and the ability to quickly adjust to any changes in the marketplace.” By comparison, Activision, of Santa Monica, Calif., had 7,000 employees on Dec. 31. Capcom employs about 3,550 people and Square Enix about 3,338. Activision ranked No. 2 in the

iTunes chart with its $2.99 “Guitar Hero” and No. 38 with its $9.99 “Call of Duty: World at War: Zombies II.” The company, which recorded $4.28 billion in revenue last year, first developed the titles for the PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360. Major publishers need to focus on quality and “deeper game play” to compete against smaller rivals, said Karthik Bala, who heads Activision’s Vicarious Visions studio in Albany, N.Y.

Builders rush to finish homes before deadline

Continued from G1 At the same time, as smaller businesses test the advertising waters, they’re providing muchneeded work for start-up production companies and graphics artist, and filling space at TV stations, on billboards and in other media that would otherwise go unsold. Bill Burnett and Debrah Lemattre, an entertainment industry couple struggling through a slow period, shot the Eat at Joe’s spot with a digital camera and edited it at home. They set up all the shots in one day and cast it with actors willing to work for free. Verizon Communications, eager for advertisers on its FiOS TV service, which is sent through telephone lines to subscribing households, charged a buck a pop.

By Kathleen M. Howley Bloomberg News

‘More for less’ According to the American Association of Advertising Agencies, a typical 30-second television commercial costs about $130,000 to make. “Eat at Joe’s,” with 20 shots and 40 actors, would have cost about $200,000 several years ago, Burnett estimated. But the economic downturn has made the process cheaper at every turn. Producers will work for less, advertisers are charging less, and businesses — burned by the recession but needing to reach out to new customers — are paying less. Nationwide last year, the average cost to air a 30-second ad on a network-affiliated TV station in a major media market was $921, down from $1,109 the year before, according to Nielsen Co. Spots on cable stations, always significantly cheaper than networks, were also down, experts said. As a result, many mom-andpop businesses can afford a level of advertising that was previously beyond their reach. Some are embracing the opportunity, hoping that visibility on TV, billboards and the Internet will help them re-

Bonds Continued from G1 Moreover, the flood of cash cascading into bond funds forces managers to buy securities in a low-rate environment. When rates move higher and the value of their bond holdings slides, many fund investors are likely to head for the exits — further baking in losses as managers are forced to sell to meet redemptions. “It’s fallacious reasoning that you can’t lose money in bonds,” said James Swanson, chief investment strategist at MFS Investment Management. “Even Treasurys lost some of their principal during the first half of 1987.”

Safe — relatively But investors seem oblivious to the danger, in part perhaps because bond funds have not suffered such large losses in recent years. From 1985 through 2009, bond fund returns, on average, dipped into negative territory just three times, with losses of 4.7 percent in 1994, 1.2 percent in 1999 and a 7.8 percent decline in 2008, according to investment researcher Morningstar Inc. U.S. stock funds, by contrast, had six losing years, including tumbles of 12 percent in 2001, 23 percent in 2002 and 39 percent in 2008. “People are conditioned to push the ‘fixed-income’ button (in times of trouble) because for nearly 30 years you didn’t have to do anything to make money,” said Bill Eigen, manager of JPMorgan Strategic Income Opportunities Fund, a bond fund with a flexible, go-anywhere approach. Those smaller losses were enticing for investors reeling from 2008’s heavy shelling. In 2009, bond funds saw a record $375 billion of new money come in, ending the year with $2.2 trillion in assets, according to the Investment Company Institute. By contrast, domestic stock funds saw $40 billion go out the door, ending the year with $3.7 trillion in assets. Many investors may be surprised to hear that bond funds could be so vulnerable, in part because if one holds a bond to maturity the full principal is returned. Not so with bond funds, which typically don’t hold bonds to maturity. A long-term bond fund, for example, needs to keep its average holding maturity several years out, in part to keep yields up, so it cycles through bonds. Fund flows also play a part — managers often need to buy and sell securities depending on the cash going in and out of the fund. Interest-rate increases may be many months away, but at that

Debrah Lemattre is using a Canon 5D camera to film. cover from tough times. “Smaller clients can definitely get more for less now,” said Michael Knott, senior vice president and media director for West Coast operations of the advertising agency Draftfcb. “There’s more of a willingness of vendors to work with you … offering lower rates and more value for your money.” Jordan said the TV ad — his first — boosted business at the diner by about 10 percent. It worked so well, he said, that he’s planning to expand the commercial’s reach by showing it on the larger Time Warner Cable system starting this month, paying $5 to $15 per showing depending on the time of day. “I was a little nervous,” Jordan said. “I didn’t want it to be cheesy. But it turned out really well.” Nationwide, the cost of producing a TV spot dropped about 5 percent in 2008, the most recent year for which the American Association of Advertising Agencies

point bond-fund managers could have trouble as demand for lower-yielding securities becomes scarce and prices fall. Compounding the problem is that many investors don’t remember when bond funds did lose money for a prolonged period. “A multiyear move of rising interest rates is an environment that most people haven’t seen before,” said Tom Atteberry, co-manager of FPA New Income Fund. The last time rates rose over several years was three decades ago. From June 1977, when the rate on 10-year Treasurys was 7.33 percent, rates climbed steadily, peaking at 15.32 percent in September 1981. And as rates rose, bond funds suffered. Long-term bond funds were on average down 0.7 percent in 1977, lost 1.2 percent in both 1978 and 1979 and 3.9 percent in 1980, according to Morningstar. Each year’s loss was relatively small, but the losing streak lasted for four years. It was a similar story in 1994, when 10-year Treasury yields jumped to 7.81 percent from 5.77 percent.

Losing money It’s not just about rising rates. If — or when — inflation pressures build, even bond funds posting modest gains will end up losing money in real terms. One reason people have flocked to bond funds is fear. Even the cumulative bond-fund losses of the late 1970s don’t compare with what investors have suffered at the hands of stock funds in recent years, with three double-digit losses in the past decade alone. Investors may have decided that potential small losses in bond funds are preferable to a major hit from stocks. JPMorgan’s Eigen, for one, is keeping his fund on the safe side. The portfolio’s average duration — its sensitivity to interest-rate fluctuations — is about seven months, and half of the $9 billion fund is in cash. Eigen said investors underestimate the risks in all medium- to long-term bond classes, with the possible exception of high-yield bonds. High-yield bond returns will remain attractive enough — nowadays they yield about 7 percent to 8 percent more than Treasurys — that their prices should hold up, he said. “That’s not the case with any other (bond) asset class.” Investors determined to avoid stocks in a volatile market should invest in shorter-term bond funds — perhaps with five-year durations — that can at least keep pace with inflation, and wait out uncertainty in the economy and the markets, Atteberry said. Once stability returns, stocks could shine in a higher-rate environment.

has figures. The reduction was largely the result of decreases in the length of time used for shooting and the salaries paid to the director, actors and producers. The advertising market is beginning to recover after a profound slump last year, but experts say it will be some time before prices hit boom-time levels — if they ever do. As banks, automakers and large retailers reduced their marketing budgets or went out of business during the economic downturn, media companies began to intensify efforts to sell ads to smaller businesses.

Beyond TV Billboard operators offered better placement and promotional rates, while TV stations and cable operators sent salesmen to meet with local businesses that rarely advertised. Newspapers lowered their prices for ads, and

graphic designers offered websites for less. Even television networks reached out to smaller businesses, helping them hone pitches to be aired on affiliated stations. The billboard business has always been dominated by local advertisers, but now smaller players are getting into the act, said Jeff Golimowski, communications director of the Outdoor Advertising Association of America. “We’re really starting to see increases in the amount of small businesses that are using outdoor advertising,” he said. For Jordan at Eat at Joe’s, increased advertising — at lower prices — has been key to his efforts to recover from a big slump during the downturn. “Newspapers and everybody else has been willing to give you deals because fewer people are advertising,” he said. “If you’ve got the money, you can get the deals.”

BOSTON — Construction crews for LGI Homes begin work at 4 a.m., pouring concrete slabs for houses before the heat of a Texas day. They don’t stop until 6 p.m. and usually work six days a week. Builders such as LGI Homes are on a tight deadline to finish houses by the end of June so purchasers can get a federal tax credit of as much as $8,000. Buyers had to sign a contract by April 30 and must complete the transaction by July 1 to qualify. That’s speeding up a construction process that for some builders can take five to six months. “We have people we need to get closed by the end of the month,” said Eric Lipar, 39, chief executive officer of Conroe, Texas-based LGI Homes. “There is a sense of urgency.” On Thursday, Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid proposed a three-month deadline extension amid concern that a rush of buyers created too big of a backlog. New-home contracts rose 30 percent in March and 15 percent in April, the biggest two-month gain in records dating to 1963, according to the Commerce Department. About a third of the April signings were for homes under construction, and a quarter were for those that weren’t started. Waiting to see if a new home

will be finished by the credit deadline can be nerve-racking for buyers, said Charlie Li, a civil engineer in Kansas City, Mo., who is purchasing a property in the nearby suburb of Overland Park, Kansas. Li drives by the building site every day after work. The fourbedroom house probably will be finished in two weeks, he said. “We’re under the gun, because you never know if the weather will impact the schedule.

Mortgage lenders usually require the document before closing on a loan. Builders are snapping up workers to make the deadline. The jobless rate in the construction industry dropped to 20 percent in May from a high of 27 percent in February.

Price, the CPA, said in an e-mail that companies consider their plans “… extraordinarily private and they will simply disappear if they decide to move forward. The votes on these two measures (have) done that. They are also nervous that the very active union movement going on in this state will target them if they go public with anything.” Without actual numbers and business owners giving their stories, it’s just people “bad-mouthing Oregon’s business environment,” said Scott Moore, communications director of Our Oregon, a nonprofit that supports Measures 66 and 67 and lobbies on behalf of multiple groups, including “charitable, social welfare organizations,” according to tax filings. “The simple fact is that the only people bad-mouthing Oregon’s business environment — the only people creating the perception that Oregon is anti-business — are the opponents of 66 and 67,” Moore wrote in an e-mail. He said various groups, including AOI and media’s editorial and news writers, “are all creating a toxic business environment by spreading these false rumors.”

Commercial vs. personal income

If all $600,000 had been taxed at 11 percent, the joint filers would have paid $66,000 in taxes. With the actual prorated method, they pay $60,074. (Before Measure 66, the joint filers would have paid $53,574.) For individual filers, the tax rates are the same, but the income levels are halved Source: Department of Revenue

company — money that is separate from the owner’s income — is taxed at the same rate as his or her personal salary. Say a business owner pays every bill and still has $300,000 in income. That owner might pay him- or herself $150,000 while leaving another $150,000 for capital investments in the company. Though that business owner isn’t directly benefiting from the second $150,000 because it will eventually be used for business investment, the owner is still paying taxes on it, Greer said. The money was taxed in the same way before 66 passed, Greer said, but the higher tax rates have a larger impact on investments. “This tax falls very heavily on small businesses,” he said. For a business that has less overall income, it’s an even harder hit, Price said. The amount business owners keep for capital investments — known as retained earnings — is the principal method by which small-business owners repay debt. “Anybody who is making $150,000 in a business ain’t rich,” Price said. “I’m sorry, they’re not.”

As for murmurs that the measures caused the tax climate in Oregon to drastically worsen, a study that took the measures into consideration shows a relatively small drop in Oregon’s ranking. The Tax Foundation, a Washington, D.C.based organization that monitors fiscal and tax activities, ranked Oregon with the 14th-best overall business tax climate in fiscal year 2010, four spots ahead of Idaho. In 2009, Oregon ranked ninth. But numbers like those depend on which study. On a website Idaho’s Department of Commerce created to recruit businesses away from states with higher taxes, it ranks Oregon as having the 33rdlowest corporate tax index and Idaho as 17th-lowest. Idaho is getting bites based on its attempt at scooping up other states’ unhappy businesses. Besides the six or so from Oregon talking about moving to the state, Bibiana Nertney, administrator for marketing and communication at Idaho’s Department of Commerce, said another six are thinking of coming from Washington. She cites the overall down economy. “I think everybody’s doing

Moving away

Market recap

Precious metals Metal

One Oregon business, Toledo-based Next Generation Arms, has moved from Oregon because of the politics of the state. President Nathan Roads told talk radio host Lars Larson that Measures 66 and 67 pushed him to move the business to Northern Idaho. Rather than noting the increased tax rates, Roads said he didn’t like that the measures, passed in 2010, were retroactive to tax year 2009. But he also moved Next Generation Arms, a manufacturer of AR-15 semi-automatic rifles, out of the state because of other Oregon practices “restricting personal freedom,” such as a potential law that could require him to get a license to home-school his children, land use issues and “Obamacare.” “Oregon has been leading the way in socialized medicine,” Roads said. — David Holley, The Bulletin

Politics pushed one Oregon business to leave

Moore, from Our Oregon, said that issue would only impact a few owners. He said the Legislative Revenue Office told his organization that 93 percent of small businesses would not be impacted by Measure 66. He said the office told Our Oregon only 2.2 percent of small-business owners make most of their profits from their businesses and take home enough

to be impacted by the measure. “And yes, that would even include those small-business owners who are hanging on to some profits in order to save it for future investments,” he said in an e-mail. Barb Campbell, co-owner of Wabi Sabi, a new store in downtown Bend, said she supported Measures 66 and 67 because of her belief in the importance of the state’s education system, one expected beneficiary of the more than $700 million expected to be raised by the tax increases. She said her business, an S-corporation, paid a $150 minimum tax. “We as a society have decided that we are going to educate all of the children,” she said. “When we start paying for it, we start whining and pinching pennies.” Businesses that aren’t taxed like Campbell’s, known as C-corporations, were open to a host of tax increases under Measure 67. Unlike S-corporations, C-corporations do submit tax forms and owners — rather, officers and shareholders — are paid salaries that are taxed like anyone else. Measure 67 made it so C-corporation businesses pay the higher of two taxes: either a prorated minimum tax based on the company’s Oregon sales or a tax rate based on the company’s taxable income. Before Measure 67, all C-corporations were charged a $10 minimum; after 67, there was a change to a prorated tax of 0.001 percent of total sales, with a minimum of $150 for corporations with less than $500,000 in sales. The second tax, based on overall taxable income, rose with Measure 67 from 6.6 percent to 7.9 percent for 2009 and 2010 for businesses that make more than $250,000. It will drop to 7.6 percent during 2011 and 2012, and then drop back to 6.6 percent after for businesses that earn more than $250,000 but less than $10 million. Keith Dodge, another Bendbased CPA, said his clients have only asked about switching registration through the Secretary of State’s Office from being a C-corporation to becoming an Scorporation to avoid the Measure 67 taxes. He said Measure 67’s primary impact is on C-corprations with a high volume of sales and a low profit margin, such as grocery stores. A store might not have to pay the taxable income rate because its profits were so low, but it would still pay the minimum tax, Dodge said. If a grocery store had $10 million in sales, but only $100,000 in profit, the $10,000 minimum tax ($10 million times 0.001) is a pretty large portion of its profit, he said. The CPAs said the minimum tax

If you have joint filers with, say, $600,000 in taxable income, that income would be taxed like this: • The first $6,100 is taxed at 5 percent. • The taxable income between $6,100 and $15,200 is taxed at 7 percent. • The taxable income between $15,200 and $250,000 is taxed at 9 percent. • The taxable income between $250,000 and $500,000 is taxed at 10.8 percent. • The taxable income above $500,000 is taxed at 11 percent.

But both accountants said the tax hikes created a legitimate concern among business owners, particularly small-business owners. Measure 66 was touted as solely an increase on personal income tax, but Greer said it was a hard knock for business owners who operate some S-corporations, LLCs or private partnerships — entities that are taxed by passing taxable income through to the business owners or shareholders. Tax forms aren’t turned in for the businesses themselves. An owner of that type of business uses sales profits to pay expenses such as employee salaries, rent and inventory — that money isn’t taxed. The remainder of the profits goes to the business owner as a salary or can be kept for future investments. Greer said that money is taxed as if it’s regular personal income. An owner of an S-corporation business also pays a minimum corporate tax of $150, while a sole proprietorship doesn’t have to pay any minimum fee. For an individual filer paying taxes from 2009 through 2011, Measure 66 raised taxes on personal income between $125,000 and $250,000 from 9 percent to 10.8 percent. For income exceeding $250,000, the tax jumps to 11 percent. Income ranges are twice those amounts ($500,000 instead of $250,000) for joint filers. Greer said Measure 66 created a tax on the owner’s business because any money an owner sets aside for future investment in the

“The simple fact is that the only people bad-mouthing Oregon’s business environment — the only people creating the perception that Oregon is anti-business — are the opponents of 66 and 67.”

‘Bad-mouthing’

— Roger Lee, EDCO’s executive director. (He would not divulge names without permission from business owners.)

Measure 66 doesn’t actually tax all of high earners’ income at 11 percent. All Oregon taxes work on a graduated scale. While previously all income above $15,200 had been taxed at 9 percent, Measure 66 added two additional tax brackets.

Continued from G1 Both Price and Greer said they would ask business owners to talk for this story, but neither responded with an owner’s name by news deadlines. Nor did Roger Lee, executive director of Economic Development for Central Oregon, who said EDCO is keeping a tally of companies that “have adjusted their plans, moved out of state, or have plans to relocate” because of Oregon’s business climate. Lee said he could not divulge names without permission from the business owners. Another group, Associated Oregon Industries, started a website to gather names of business owners considering relocation. JL Wilson, vice president of government affairs for AOI, said in an e-mail that he doesn’t have sufficient quantitative data, adding AOI is trying to collect it but has found it difficult to do so.

Measure 66: Taxing gradually

Continued from G1 With competition fierce, Realtors usually find a way to differentiate themselves, said Kathy Ragsdale, CEO of the Central Oregon Association of Realtors. Some Realtors might specialize in certain types of property, such as land or luxury homes. Others, like Power, find a way to connect with or attract a different breed of buyer. “Any way that each of the brokers can make themselves stand out is to their benefit, so that sounds like part of Megan’s branding,” Ragsdale said. “The other thing (with Power) is it ties in with the outdoor philosophy of Central Oregon, so that’s a perfect fit.” A number of Realtors across the country organize real estate bike tours. But to Ragsdale’s knowledge, Power is the only one in Bend who does so. An Aug. 22, 2008, Wall Street Journal article on real estate bike tours said that as developers and communities put more focus on placing shops and offices closer to residential centers to reduce commutes, more people are choosing bicycles to get around. Thearticle quoted U.S. On the Web Census data www.rideto that showed realestate.com 623,039 people commuted to work by bicycle in 2006 and that the number grew 28 percent from 2000 to 2006. Power does own a car and has clients who prefer driving to see homes. But she said many of her clients do seek her out because of the bike aspect. She said that she’ll take clients on bike tours at any time of the year. Bend resident Dana Reiter joined Power’s June 5 tour. Reiter said that because of the economy, she and her husband can now afford to relocate to Bend’s west side, and Power’s tour seemed like a great way to see the area’s different neighborhoods. “It’s a pretty cool idea,” Reiter said. “It definitely gives you a chance to see what neighborhoods are like from a different perspective. Sometimes neighborhoods can be noisy or busy, but you don’t notice when you are driving around.” Reiter also liked the tour because it was “greener.” The homes Power showed were close together and driving would have been a waste of gas, Reiter said. Because the homes were in a relatively small area, the ride wasn’t strenuous, she added. Ben Gordon wasn’t on the tour but used Power as his agent when he and his fiancee bought a home last year. They often went on rides with Power, said Gordon, who found it a more thrilling way to shop for a home. “When you get to a place by car, you don’t feel as invigorated as when you arrive by bike and are probably less excited about what you are going to see,” Gordon said. “There’s something about getting some exercise, pumping some blood through your veins and letting your mind settle from whatever it was you were last doing. It enables you to think more clearly about the decision you are going to make.” Power’s next bike tour will be Saturday, July 10. For information on the tour, call Power at 541-383-4354.

S D Sweet salvo from Seoul By Warren Brown Special to The Washington Post

PHILADELPHIA — Let us speak of things often unspoken — and, when spoken, carefully whispered — in the politically correct world of automobiles. This has to do with ethnic and national pride, lingering anger over past wrongs done by one side or another, and, from a historical perspective, the kind of raw hatred that long has proved fertile ground for war and death and centuries of political conflict. Specifically, it has to do with Japanese coR E V I E W lonial rule of Korea, in which Koreans were brutally treated as inferiors, from 1910 through 1945. Understanding that history, retold in whispered conversations, often over dinner and drinks after an automobile show or conference, is the best way to comprehend what is happening today between Japanese and South Korean automobile manufacturers. The underlying truth: There is a war going on. The once-slighted Koreans are determined to win it. In the logic of this Asian car conflict, neither the Europeans nor the North Americans are Korea’s enemies. Be it hubris or not, the Koreans believe they easily could beat the car companies of the West, many of them weighted down by costly labor contracts and, by Korean standards, a still too-slow, too-timid approach toward automotive development and design. What the Korean car executives will say on the record is that their primary targets are the Japanese car companies — Toyota, Honda, Nissan and the rest. On the record, they will explain their target priorities in seemingly logical terms of global market positioning. Japan’s Toyota, for example, is the world’s top car company in measurements of sales and market share. Off the record, something else comes out, as it did in a Hyundai new-vehicle presentation here and

Old cars may burn oil, but smoke’s a concern By Paul Brand (Minneapolis) Star Tribune

I have a pair of ’99 Cadillac DeVilles with about 166,000 miles on them that go through oil like crazy. I have to add oil twice a week. One of the cars smells like burning oil, and the other pushes whitish-gray smoky stuff out of the exhaust when I start it up that finally goes away after a few minutes. Is any of this normal? What should I do? Higher-than-normal oil consumption from wear and tear isn’t unusual for these 4.8-liter V-6 engines with more than 150,000 miles. The real question: Does this reduce the serviceability or reliability of the vehicles? If not, it’s probably not worth the cost of repairing them. But it is worth trying to decarbonize the combustion chambers to remove deposits that may be causing the piston rings to stick and not properly seal the combustion chambers. My Alldata automotive database pulled up GM service bulletin 02-06-01-009C dated October 2003 that outlines a professional procedure that introduces a special product into the cylinders to remove carbon deposits, along with tips for cleaning and decarbonizing the throttle body, positive crankcase ventilation system, idle air control and exhaust gas recirculation system. You could also try a doit-yourself version of this by introducing a decarbonizing product such as SeaFoam Motor Tune-Up through the induction system with the engine running to soften and melt away carbon deposits, then clean the other components with an aerosol carb/brake cleaner.

Hyundai Motor Co.

The 2011 Hyundai Sonata Limited, a four-cylinder family sedan, draws praise for its excellent ride and a look that beats everything in its class.

2011 Hyundai Sonata Limited Base price: $25, 295 ($19,195 for base GLS model) As tested: $28,150 Type: Front-engine, frontwheel-drive, midsize/large family sedan Engine: 2.4-liter, directgasoline-injected, 16-valve, normally aspirated four-cylinder (turbocharged four-cylinder and gas-electric hybrid models available in the future); mated to a six-speed transmission Mileage: Combined city/ highway average of 35 mpg on the West Coast. A paraphrased summation of those passionately expressed comments, words that will never be spoken publicly, amounts to this: We’re going to show the Japanese that we can build cars better than them. Take a careful look at this week’s subject automobile, the 2011 Hyundai Sonata Limited. In terms of exterior and interior styling, overall safety, efficient road performance,

and the level and quality of standard amenities offered, it beats the Toyota Camry, Honda Accord and Nissan Altima. It could very well eclipse sales of the Chevrolet Malibu and block continued sales growth of the Ford Fusion. The 2011 Sonata is, simply stated, one heck of a fine, fuel-efficient, attractively priced automobile. It will take sales from somebody, if not everybody. Even the Sonata’s paint job is special. We’re talking 14 coats, including an electromagnetic primer process that draws paint into the deepest crevices of the automobile. I drove the new Sonata from Philadelphia to Virginia, where I picked up my wife and continued deep into Virginia’s Shenandoah Valley. Mary Anne has a way of “feeling” cars before she actually pays attention to them. “Lexus?” she asked. “No,” I said. “Infiniti?” she queried. “Unh-unh,” I mumbled. “What?” she demanded. “Hyundai,” I said. “You mean Hyundai Genesis?” (That’s Hyundai’s luxury model.)

“I mean Hyundai Sonata,” and the car’s cabin fell silent. A shock of another sort silenced conversation when we stopped at a Virginia gas station after having driven nearly 350 miles since my leaving Philadelphia. “You must’ve filled up on your way home,” Mary Anne said. “I didn’t,” I said. “You’re lying,” she said. “I’m not,” I countered. “What kind of engine?” “Four cylinders, 198 horsepower.” “Daannggg!” she exclaimed, her native Texas drawl rising to the fore.

The bottom line All rival car manufacturers should keep an eye on the new Sonata’s performance in the marketplace. Hyundai’s underlying drive to beat the Japanese at their own game could upset everybody. Ride, acceleration and handling: Excellent marks in all three. It’s hard to believe this is a biggish four-cylinder family sedan. Head-turning quotient: Tops! It beats everything in its class.

The whitish-gray smoke is a bit more of a concern. It may be raw fuel that has collected in the combustion chambers from a leaky injector or fuel pressure regulator. But it could also be vaporized coolant that collected in the cylinders from a head gasket or intake manifold gasket leak, which would be a more serious issue. I’d be inclined to try the DIY cleaning process first.

I have a 2008 Buick LaCrosse with 19,000 miles. Since Day One, the car has used about a quart of oil every 2,000 miles. The dealer says a quart of oil every 2,000 miles is acceptable. Is that true? Yes, but consuming a quart of oil per 2,000 miles is the upper end of “normal” oil consumption. Think of it this way: If each cylinder burned one drop of oil per combustion stroke, the engine would burn a quart of oil roughly every four miles. GM addressed oil consumption on a number of its 20052008 3.8-liter V-6 engines in service bulletin 05-06-01-035A, dated October 2007. According to the bulletin, oil consumption in excess of one quart per 2,000 miles may be caused by the retaining rings not holding the exhaust valve seal in place. Replacement valve seals, if necessary, would be a warranty repair.
