HISTORY OF GOLF IN CENTRAL OREGON

Teeing off in Bend

WINDOW INTO THE PAST Golfers putt out on what was in 1928 the seventh hole at Bend Golf Club. Although the course opened in 1925 on a temporary nine, it wasn’t until 1927 when the permanent nine first hosted golfers. That nine is still in play today. This hole is now the 11th at Bend Golf and Country Club.

ot a single golfer could shoot better than Joe Hixon’s 10 over par.

But more important than the quality of play that day — May 3, 1925 — was that a proper game of golf was being played.

The opening that Sunday of what is today Bend Golf and Country Club made front-page news in The Bulletin (then known as The Bend Bulletin), even though the nine-hole layout was not the first Central Oregon golf course.

But while other courses came and went around the region in the 1920s and ’30s, the Bend club thrived. And unbeknownst to Hixon, the Bend lumberman who shot that 10-over-par 44, on that May day was born an industry that 87 years later is a cornerstone of life in Central Oregon.

The remainder of the 20th century would bring thousands more people to this region and dozens more golf courses, including some that would receive lofty national awards and host modern legends of professional golf.

While plenty has changed around it, the back nine of today’s Bend G&CC (known originally as Bend Golf Club) remains at its core the same tough golf course that befuddled members playing in knickerbockers on the far southern outskirts of what was still largely an Old West town. And the course, now thoroughly enveloped in a city of more than 80,000, still stands as a reminder of the region’s humble golf beginnings.

GOP race enters the delegate phase

TODAY’S WEATHER

The first phase of the 2012 Republican presidential campaign, ending with the 10 states that vote this week on Super Tuesday, has been about money and message.

The next several months will be about maps and math.

Having failed to secure the nomination in the first two months of voting, Mitt Romney is turning in earnest, his aides say, to the playbook of slow-but-sure delegate accumu-

Former Deschutes County Administrator Dave Kanner is questioning whether qualified managers might be scared away from the job after county commissioners voted 2-1 in August to fire him.

Commissioners narrowed the field of candidates from 50 to two a month ago, and the Sheriff’s Office began a background investigation on one of the candidates in mid-FebruKanner ary. The Sheriff’s Office is now investigating the second candidate, and interim County Administrator Erik Kropp said he expects the commissioners will decide whether to hire one of them in the next couple of weeks.

Commissioners met in closed-door sessions Monday and Tuesday to discuss the candidates but declined to comment. Kropp declined to say Friday whether both men are still finalists for the job.

Meanwhile, Kanner landed a job as city manager of Ashland and started the job Feb. 27. In an interview earlier in February, Kanner said the reasons some commissioners gave for his firing could deter qualified candidates from applying.

“I feel like an NFL head coach who won the Super Bowl and was then fired for not smiling enough during the victory parade,” Kanner said, referring to comments by a county commissioner who wanted him to be more positive.

lation written by none other than the man he wants to replace in the White House.

Like the team that engineered President Barack Obama’s victory in 2008, Romney’s lawyers and strategists say they have devised an approach to the second half of the campaign intended to ensure that he methodically amasses the 1,144 delegates necessary to win the nomination, staying ahead of his rivals in that count even if they win the popular vote in some states.

Health care’s cost: It’s all in the pricing

By Ezra Klein The Washington Post

There is a simple reason health care in America costs more than it does anywhere else: The prices are higher.

That may sound obvious.

But it is, in fact, key to understanding one of the most pressing problems facing our economy.

In 2009, Americans spent $7,960 per person on health care. The neighbors to the north in Canada spent $4,808.

The Germans spent $4,218.

The French, $3,978. If we had the per-person costs of any of those countries, America’s deficits would vanish. Workers would have much more money in their pockets. Our economy would grow more quickly, as our exports would be more competitive.

By Chris Cillizza and Aaron Blake The Washington Post

With 10 states awarding more than 400 delegates, March 6 is the day on the calendar that political junkies have had circled for months.

It’s the closest thing to a national primary day we’ll have before the GOP nominee for president is ultimately chosen.

As in a national election, not all of the 10 states voting this Tuesday are equally important. The larger the number of delegates up for grabs, the more important the state will be to the delegate math for the candidates.

That delegate reality makes Ohio the key Super Tuesday state. Not only does it award 66 delegates — the second-most of any state voting March 6 — but the Buckeye State will also be a central battleground in the fall presidential campaign. A win by Rick Santorum or Mitt Romney in Ohio then allows either one to make the case that he is the most electable candidate in a state that matters to the general election calculus.

Winning Ohio could make up for losing in a lot of other places. But what about the other states? A primer: Alaska: In the world of low turnout votes, the Alaska primary may take the cake. In the 2008 Republican caucuses, fewer than 14,000 people cast votes. Former Gov. Sarah Palin has (sort of) endorsed Newt Gingrich, but it’s not clear whether that’s a good or indifferent thing as it relates to the former House speaker’s chances in the Last Frontier.

Georgia: This is a must-win state for Gingrich. It’s his home state and by far his best chance to score a win on Super Tuesday. Polling suggests Gingrich is holding a steady though not insurmountable lead, though it remains to be seen whether his nonexistent performance in Michigan and Arizona will impact — in a negative way — his chances. If he loses Georgia, it’s hard to see how he can justify staying in the race.

Idaho: This may be the biggest battleground of the three caucus states holding contests.

Romney should do well here because the state is about onequarter Mormon, but Ron Paul has eyed the state as one he could win. (It was his best state in 2008; he took 24 percent in what was then a primary).

And Santorum and Gingrich have also visited the state in recent weeks. So there’s plenty of competition here.

Massachusetts: While Romney may have called Michigan his home state, this is where he was recently governor and where his more moderate politics make him a heavy favorite.

But keep in mind: He beat moderate favorite John McCain just 51 percent to 41 percent in Massachusetts on Super Tuesday 2008, so it’s not like this is a guaranteed blowout.

North Dakota: This is a caucus state and, as such, may give Paul a fighting chance. But Romney, who won the North Dakota caucuses in 2008, also has the backing of Sen. John Hoeven, the most popular Republican official here.

Ohio: The next big battleground in the GOP contest, Ohio seems to have all the demographic challenges of Michigan for Romney, but without the hometown ties. Recent polls show Santorum leading by double digits on average, so Romney has some work to do.

Oklahoma: This could be another competitive race up and down the ballot. It combines Santorum’s strength in the Midwest with Gingrich’s strength in the South, meaning both of those candidates may go for the victory. This isn’t a strong state for Romney, but he may be able to shoot the gap if Santorum and Gingrich split the conservative vote. All told, this could be one of the more interesting Super Tuesday contests.

Tennessee: The Volunteer State is often overlooked when analyzing key Super Tuesday states. It shouldn’t be. Tennessee will dole out 58 delegates — though the complicated allocation rules make it tough for any one candidate to amass a large majority of the

Born in 1988 with 14 contests, Super Tuesday originally highlighted moderate presidential candidates, especially from the South. More recently, the day became part of a rush by all states to hold their primaries as early as possible, to be relevant. The largest Super Tuesday to date was in 2008, with 23 states holding contests.

Who’s won what so far

Twelve states have voted, with more than 300 delegates at stake, though complicated procedures and nonbinding contests mean not all delegates have been apportioned yet. It’s important to note that, even after Tuesday, no one will have secured the 1,144 delegates needed for the nomination.

HAPPENINGS • President Barack Obama addresses the annual conference of the pro-Israel lobby AIPAC, a day before a crucial meeting with Israel’s prime minister in which Iran’s nuclear program is topic No. 1. A3 • Vladimir Putin is set to win an unprecedented third term in Russia’s presidential election. He could serve up to 2024, meaning he would be the dominant figure in post-Soviet politics for 24 of the 33 years since the collapse of communism. A7 • Vice President Joe Biden travels to Mexico and Honduras through Tuesday, where he will meet with Central American leaders.

IN HISTORY Highlights: In 1789, the Constitution of the United States went into effect as the first Federal Congress met in New York. (The lawmakers then adjourned for lack of a quorum.) In 1861, Abraham Lincoln was inaugurated as the 16th president.

In 1917, Montana Republican Jeannette Rankin took her seat as the first woman elected to the U.S. House of Representatives.

Ten years ago: The European Union ratified the Kyoto Protocol on global warming but failed to set pollutant-emission levels to meet the set targets.

Five years ago: Thomas Eagleton, who resigned as George McGovern’s running mate in 1972 after it was revealed he’d been hospitalized for depression, died in St. Louis at age 77.

One year ago: NASA launched its Glory satellite on what was to have been a three-year mission to analyze how airborne particles affect Earth’s climate; however, the rocket carrying Glory plummeted into the Pacific minutes after liftoff.

state’s delegates — and it may be the purest test of Southern strength on Super Tuesday, particularly since Gingrich has a home-state edge in Georgia. Polling suggests Tennessee is Santorum’s to lose.

Vermont: None of the other candidates will challenge Romney’s dominance here. It will be a bright spot for him Tuesday, but the question is whether he will have enough other bright spots for it to matter.

Virginia: This is the oddest contest of the day, because it pits Romney against Paul, oneon-one. No one else, current candidates and dropouts alike, qualified for the ballot. Assuming Paul doesn’t shock the world by actually competing with Romney — the two have been quite cozy lately — Romney should be able to lock up all of the state’s 49 delegates by winning the statewide vote and each congressional district.

WASHINGTON CAUCUSES

4th straight Romney win Bulletin wire reports Mitt Romney rolled to a double-digit victory in Washington state’s Republican presidential caucuses Saturday night, his fourth campaign triumph in a row and a fresh show of strength in the run-up to 10 Super Tuesday contests in all regions of the country.

Rick Santorum and Ron Paul battled for second place, while Newt Gingrich ran a distant fourth.

Romney’s West Coast victory came on the heels of twin primary triumphs over Santorum earlier in the week in hard-fought Michigan and lightly contested Arizona.

Kirby Wilbur, the chairman of the state Republican Party,

Mitt Romney ............36.7% Ron Paul ...................24.9% Rick Santorum .........24.3% Newt Gingrich ..........10.6% As of 9:30 p.m. Saturday

saw Romney’s strong numbers as a sign of the national party finally coalescing around him.

“I think it’s possible the party is starting to gel.”

Romney, Gingrich Santorum spent the day in Ohio, where Santorum touted his plan to improve the nation’s manufacturing base and said part of the effort must include a reduction in the number of children born out of wedlock.

While polls show him in a

close race with Romney in the state, it is not clear he can fully convert any success in the primary into delegate strength.

Ron Paul was in Washington state as the caucuses began, searching for his first victory of the campaign. Romney won the majority of votes in a wide swath of the state, with Paul and Santorum picking up pockets of counties mostly east of the Cascades.

It was a quirk in the campaign calendar that made Washington’s caucuses the relatively low-key event they were, sandwiched between a high-stakes clash between Romney and Santorum in Michigan and next-up primaries and caucuses in 10 states.

Across the South and Midwest, survivors emerged Saturday to find blue sky and splinters where homes once stood, cars flung into buildings and communications crippled after dozens of tornadoes chainsawed through a region of millions, leveling small towns along the way. Above, residents inspect the debris in Marysville, Ind. At least 38 people were killed in five states, but a 2-year-old girl was somehow found alive and alone in a field near her Indiana home.

Her family did not survive. A couple that fled their home for the safety of a restaurant basement made it, even after the storms threw a school bus into their makeshift shelter. Satur-

day was a day filled with such stories, told as emergency officials trudged with search dogs past knocked-down cellphone towers and ruined homes looking for survivors in rural Kentucky and Indiana, marking searched roads and homes with orange paint. President Barack Obama offered federal assistance, and Ohio Gov. John Kasich declared an emergency Saturday.

The National Weather Service told CNN that the tornado that swept through southern Indiana on Friday sustained winds between 166 and 200 mph, putting it in the top 2 percent of all tornadoes in terms of strength.

Mitt Romney, claiming his victory in Washington state while on the trail in Ohio, said in a statement the win meant voters there “do not want a Washington insider in the White House. They want a conservative businessman who understands the private sector and knows how to get the federal government out of the way.” Ohio is the biggest prize in the next contest on the primary calendar.

The Romney effort over the next several months is an echo of the campaign that Obama waged against Hillary Clinton four years ago. Having lost the delegate lead in February, Clinton struggled in vain to recapture it. In Texas, she defeated Obama by 51 percent to 47 percent but earned only four more delegates than he did.

Gidley said Santorum would compete effectively for delegates, but that the campaign did not have a designated staff

The Republican race for the rest of March after Tuesday will be waged in 13 primaries and caucuses. Should Romney and Santorum remain competitive with each other, they would likely end up roughly splitting the delegates as they did in Michigan, where Romney won 16 and Santorum 14, because party rules encourage awarding delegates proportionally, based on popular vote and by congressional district.

Gingrich and Paul also will likely snag some delegates.

Then come April and May, when Republican rules allow winner-take-all primaries — and when Santorum should have an opportunity to catch up in the delegate count. (Oregon’s primary is May 15.)

But even then, some of the more than 600 delegates at stake during those two months will be awarded to the winners of individual congressional districts. That makes it harder for a candidate like Santorum to make big jumps in delegate counts even if he wins the popular vote in some of the primaries.

“We’re going to get delegates out of every one of those states,” Beeson said. “There’s not a single state where he is going to make up enough ground.”

Gidley challenged that as-

sertion, saying Romney’s campaign has overestimated its success for months.

“They are assuming that they are going to be coronated as the nominee,” Gidley said.

“The problem is somewhere along the way, Rick Santorum happened.”

Taken together the contests Tuesday provide a rich mixture of regional and demographic constituencies that make it unlikely that any candidate can hope for a sweep, which means everyone has something important at stake.

Romney needs to emerge as the overall winner if he hopes to prove he is the genuine front-runner. Santorum wants to show that the GOP race is a two-person contest and that he has the political appeal to win.

Any candidate who wins a state Tuesday will try to claim some of the bragging rights. If Romney were to win a majority of the states, including Ohio, his campaign probably would argue that it is time for the others to begin to step aside.

On the other hand, said Republican pollster Whit Ayres, if Santorum wins Ohio, “I don’t know that he has to win a whole lot of other states to keep it going.”

To give teeth to the deterrent threat against Iran, Israel and its backers want Obama to stop urging restraint on Israel and to be more explicit about the circumstances under which the U.S. itself would carry out a strike. Israel’s supporters said they believed a majority of Americans would support an Israeli military strike against Iran. But polling data paints a murkier picture: While close to 50 percent of Americans say in several polls they would support Israel, a slightly larger number say they would stay neutral.

Continued from A1 On Tuesday, that strategy revolves around Virginia, where the failure of Rick Santorum and Newt Gingrich to appear on the ballot gives Romney a good chance of winning all of the state’s 49 delegates. He is also expected to pick up most of the 41 delegates in Massachusetts, where he served as governor.

By contrast, fierce efforts by Santorum to carry the popular vote in Ohio, even if successful, could win him just a few more delegates than Romney because they are allocated proportionally in that state. In addition, Santorum’s name will not appear as a choice in some districts in Ohio, further limiting his ability to win delegates.

Romney’s recent visits to Idaho and North Dakota — and an open letter to voters in Alaska — were designed to compete for every last out-ofthe-way delegate Tuesday and keep Santorum behind in that chase. It is a competition that could go deep into the spring and take the Republican field into delegate-rich but expensive and traditionally Democratic states like New York and California, where their efforts are unlikely to yield any return for the eventual nominee in the general election.

Rich Beeson, Romney’s political director, said of Santorum: “He has no states on Super Tuesday where he is going to do anything to cut the delegate lead. He is going to fall further and further behind. It becomes a mathematical battle as much as it is a political one, and the math just doesn’t add up for Santorum.”

Hogan Gidley, a senior strategist for Santorum, mocked Romney’s advisers, saying they were hunting for delegates because Romney’s message was failing to inspire voters.

“Nothing inspires this country like math — that’s ridiculous,” Gidley said. “The argument that math is on their side is uninspiring and laughable.”

person to track that process.

He said Santorum would have “a lot more opportunity to pick up more delegates” as the weeks went by.

The chase for every delegate after Tuesday is forcing Romney and his rivals to spread out in states small and large. It is draining their coffers — and those of the super PACs backing them — and it is forcing the campaigns to tap their most precious resource: the candidate’s time.

Last week, Romney skipped from Ohio to Idaho, North Dakota to Washington state before heading back to Ohio.

“I want to make sure we win, we win solidly in Idaho, that I get the delegates I need to go on and win the nomination,” Romney told a packed high school gymnasium in Idaho Falls on Thursday.

In Washington state on Thursday, Santorum accused Michigan’s Republican Party of “thuggery” for awarding a single extra delegate to Romney in that state’s contest.

If Romney’s strategy works, he will emerge from Super Tuesday with a delegate lead that is at least as large as it is today — roughly double, at last count.

New York Times News Service On the eve of a crucial visit to the White House by Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu of Israel, that country’s most powerful U.S. advocates are mounting an extraordinary public campaign to pressure President Barack Obama into hardening U.S. policy toward Iran over its nuclear program.

From the corridors of Congress to a gathering of nearly 14,000 U.S. Jews and other supporters of Israel here this weekend, Obama is being buffeted by demands that the United States be more aggressive toward Iran and more forthright in supporting Israel in its own confrontation with Tehran.

While defenders of Israel rally every year at the meeting of the pro-Israel lobbying group, the American Israel Public Affairs Committee, this year’s gathering has been supercharged by a convergence of electionyear politics, a deepening nuclear showdown and the often-fraught relationship between the president and the Israeli prime minister.

Obama and Netanyahu will both speak to the group, as will the three leading GOP presidential candidates, who will appear via satellite from the campaign trail on the morning of Super Tuesday. Republicans have seized on Iran’s nuclear ambitions to accuse Obama of being weak in backing a staunch ally and in confronting a bitter foe.

Golf Continued from A1

Roots

A

t least two other golf courses were operating in Central Oregon by 1924, but from the start, Bend Golf Club appeared to be different from its predecessors.

The club was organized by some of the elite in Bend, a rapidly growing lumber town with, according to the 1920 U.S. Census, a population of 5,414. Rival lumber mills Shevlin-Hixon Lumber Co. and Brooks-Scanlon Lumber Co. provided many of the jobs in town, and employees and executives of both mills became charter members of the new golf club.

The roster of the club’s 80 charter members — a list still on record at Bend G&CC — is filled with the forefathers of Bend, including Herb Allen, Harry Brooks and Dutch Stover, mill executives with Brooks-Scanlon, and Harry Miller, founder of Miller Lumber.

Ralph Hamilton, a prominent lawyer who would later became a circuit court judge, was a driving force in the creation of the golf club and was named the club’s first president.

In 1924, according to letters in the Bend G&CC archives, the prospective members began soliciting advice from other private clubs forming in the region — such as La Grande Country Club and Eugene Country Club (both of which are still in operation today) — on how to set up bylaws. And on Feb. 9, 1925, those bylaws were adopted and a board was elected.

remained remarkably stable. From 1930 to 1936, only six members of the private golf club resigned their memberships, according to Bend Golf and Country Club archives. Below is an original membership certificate, of the 13th member signed up.

Bend Golf Club — nearly 90 years old — was not the first • At least 2 courses beat it to the punch

By Zack Hall The Bulletin

Though Bend Golf and Country Club is by far the oldest existing course in Central Oregon, it was not the area’s first golf facility.

At least two golf courses were established here before May 3, 1925, the day golfers took their first swings at what was then known as Bend Golf Club.

According to the Sisters Country Historical Society, an affiliate of the Oregon Historical Society, a course opened in 1924 at the Hansen Resort not far from Camp Sherman in Jefferson County on land that the Lake Creek Lodge now occupies.

At roughly the same time, a nine-hole course named Central Oregon Golf Course opened for play on the Fred Stanley Ranch about nine miles north of Bend in the

community of Deschutes Junction, according to multiple sources, including the Deschutes County Historical Society. Deschutes Junction was a small town with a railroad depot.

And at least one other course predated the opening of Prineville Country Club in 1949. In 1931, short-lived Knickerbocker Public Golf Course — which was designed by W.G. Pringle, who was the superintendent of Rose City Links in Portland — opened just south of Sisters, according to the Sisters Country Historical Society.

An advertisement in the May 21, 1931, Bulletin touted 50-cent rounds at the Knickerbocker course, which was located “one mile east of Sisters on the Bend-Sisters Highway,” on pastureland across the highway from what is now the Lazy Z Ranch.

A tournament between employees of Bend’s rival lumber companies, Brooks-Scanlon and Shevlin-Hixon, was even

The Knickerbocker Public Golf Course opened in 1931 on pastureland about a mile east of Sisters. But like at least two of its Central Oregon predecessors, Knickerbocker was short-lived. It closed in 1933, according to the Sisters Country Historical Society. In this Bulletin ad from 1931, the green fees were just 50 cents.

Transfers Continued from A1 A student may transfer for any reason as long as he or she does so before freshman year. Students who transfer after they enter high school, meanwhile, may appeal the automatic sanction.

“Let’s face it. We’re in high school for four years to get an education. That’s the primary reason. We don’t want our member schools to become little regional all-star teams,” Welter said.

Lawmakers changed the transfer rules to increase academic choices for students and their parents. Rep. Jason Conger, R-Bend, supported the bill and wrote in an email that he understood OSAA was working to prevent “coach shopping.”

Still, Conger disagrees with the OSAA’s approach.

“Athletics are an important aspect of education and should not be viewed as distinct from academics and other school activities. … I believe that parents,

not the state, generally know what is best for their child and should be given greater flexibility to choose the education that will (be) the most suited to their child’s needs,” Conger wrote in an email.

Like Conger, Rep. John Huffman, R-The Dalles, voted for the bill, but he did so with reservations. Huffman and a number of colleagues were concerned about athletics. To Huffman, the OSAA’s decision to maintain its rules seems sensible.

“I didn’t want it to be a way for one district to be able to entice football or basketball players,” Huffman said.

Local athletic directors share Huffman’s view, said Mountain View High School Athletic Director Dave Hood.

The OSAA already has district athletic committees for every league across the state.

Composed of three local athletic directors, the committees hear eligibility appeals. If a director’s school is involved in the appeal, another AD fills in.

Locally, the committee hears a few dozen appeals each year

and tries to prevent unjust eligibility decisions, Hood said.

From the local committee, a student can appeal to OSAA’s executive board before heading to a mediator.

Transfers should be allowed for something outside an athlete’s control — like the availability of a certain academic program — but movement needs to be restricted, Hood said.

“Otherwise, the water gets very muddy when we have kids bouncing around. That’s crazy,” Hood said.

Brent Walsh, Redmond High School’s athletic director, heads the local athletic committee and supports the OSAA’s decision. He believes parents sometimes push their children to more successful athletic programs. Without the dual-agreement requirements, sports in Oregon could become a “free-for-all,” Walsh said.

“If they threw the rules out the window and said kids could go where they want, it would be crazy. It would be chaos.”

played at the Deschutes Junction course on March 1, 1925.

Among the golfers that day was Shevlin-Hixon executive Jack Herbert, according to the March 1925 issue of the Deschutes Pine Echoes, a newsletter published by BrooksScanlon. Herbert was already instrumental in the formation of Bend Golf Club and served as the club’s first secretary.

The other tournament participants were “a representative bunch of good lumbermen and rotten golfers, as you will admit,” wrote the author.

Brooks-Scanlon beat the Shevlin-Hixon team that day.

But apparently it wasn’t pretty.

“We have learned to recognize a pair of golf pants when we see them on the street, but we don’t understand the score keeping method; the language and terms used by golfers are strange to us and we have difficulty in keeping up with the conversation, although we will say as far as language goes we have heard most of the words before,” the newsletter reads. “In fact, you can watch a man hit his finger with a hammer and learn quite a lot of the words commonly used in golf.”

The frustrations of the game apparently have not changed, but the courses cer-

tainly have.

Anecdotal evidence suggests the original Central Oregon courses were no Augusta National.

The Hansen course was mowed primarily through the use of 250 sheep, according to the Sisters Country Historical Society.

The Bulletin wrote in March 1925 that Bend Golf Club “will be the first one permanently built with grass fairways and greens.”

Even the temporary course built around what is now the back nine at Bend Golf and Country Club represented an upgrade over the region’s existing courses, though the hastily built nine holes in Bend had no grass when it opened.

“These greens, however, will be of coarse sand, oiled, so that they will be more satisfactory than the greens on present courses in Central Oregon, constructed of the native Earth,” The Bulletin wrote.

Perhaps that is why those first Central Oregon courses were swept away into the dustbin of history while Bend Golf and Country Club continues to thrive nearly 90 years after the first ball was driven down a fairway there.

FORMING A CLUB Bend Golf Club began to take shape in 1924. And with little golf expertise in Central Oregon, the founding members of the club solicited advice from around the state, including Portland sporting goods store A.G. Spalding & Bros.

From previous page land was deeded in March 1925 from BrooksScanlon, which had logged the parcel in previous years, for just $250. An adjoining piece of property was sold to the club for $1,159. And it didn’t take long to develop a golf course.

Just days before the land was deeded to the golf club, members of the fledgling club made another important decision: They hired a professional to design the course.

“It seems you should have very little trouble in putting the thing over.”

— Walter Nash, manager, A.G. Spalding & Bros., June 25, 1924

he membership decided early to build a temporary nine holes around what would become the permanent nine (which is today’s back nine).

H. Chandler Egan — an Oregon resident, a well-known course architect and a legendary amateur golfer who won two U.S. Amateur Championships — is credited with co-designing the course. And Egan apparently did help sketch out the final plans, according to Bend G&CC records.

But little evidence exists showing that he ever spent much time in Bend.

Instead, the manager of A.G. Spalding & Bros. sporting goods store in Portland, Walter Nash — whom the members of Bend Golf Club sought out for advice — in March 1925 dispatched William Hanley to the booming lumber town, according to mail correspondence between Nash and the club still on file at Bend G&CC. “I feel positive he will make the trip to Bend and I can frankly say we can highly recommend him as a golf architect,” Nash wrote of Hanley to the Bend club members in a letter dated March 16, 1925.

Hanley, then the head pro at Portland’s Alderwood Country Club, was charged with laying out both nines and agreed to do it for $250 plus expenses. The Portland pro worked quickly, beginning to stake the fairways and greens the day after the land was deeded to the club, and by March 30 the layout was unveiled.

By 1929, the Bend club was full, with 125 members (the limit in the original bylaws), and was rapidly developing, with additions of a caddie house, a pro shop and other improvements.

BIG BUSINESS After its official formation in February 1925, Bend Golf Club quickly got to work building a golf course. Here, a Seattle-based distributor of lawn mowers makes its pitch about three weeks before Bend Golf Club’s temporary nine holes opened to members.

From previous page Originally, both nines would be par 34s and would play at more than 3,000 yards each, a relatively long golf course for the time. And Hanley’s plans called for conservation, not cutting down trees “unless absolutely necessary,” The Bulletin wrote.

As excitement in the community built, members — who initially paid $100 to join and $4.40 a month in dues (individual members now pay $348 a month) — got their first look at the new course in late April.

And the layout’s difficulty became clear early on.

“However,” wrote The Bulletin, “it is safe to predict that no scores under 45 will be made for the first few weeks that the course is used, and that the average local golfer, playing only his second season, will take 55 or more strokes for some time.”

W B China plans 11% rise in defense spending China said today it would boost its defense spending by 11.2 percent in 2012, the latest in a nearly two-decade string of double-digit increases.

Although the planned figure is less than last year’s 12.7 percent increase, China’s military leaders have said they are unhappy with recent moves by the Obama administration to increase the U.S. military presence in the Asia-Pacific region.

China’s official defense spending is the largest in the world after the United States, but actual spending, according to foreign defense experts, may be 50 percent higher, as China excludes outlays for its nuclear missile force and other programs.

Conflicting accounts of Quran burnings KABUL, Afghanistan — An investigation into the burning of Muslim holy books at a U.S. military base has found it was a mistake involving at least five Americans who may face a dis-

The conflicting accounts highlight rising tensions between the two countries despite apologies by President Barack Obama and other U.S. officials following the Feb. 20 discovery of charred Qurans and other religious literature in a burn pit at Bagram air base.

Noda was speaking to reporters at his official residence ahead of the anniversary of the March 11 disaster that killed nearly 20,000 and set off the worst nuclear crisis since Chernobyl.

rought in 1926 delayed the seeding of the permanent course at Bend Golf Club until 1927, and the course opened late that fall.

But even though it had no grass, the temporary course opened with plenty of fanfare and a tournament between top golfers from Bend and Redmond. (The Bend golfers won).

Nearly every club member played multiple rounds on the first day, The Bulletin reported, but most golfers struggled to handle the course’s curvy design. Though Hixon, the local lumberman, shot a 44, most players wrote down scores of 60 or more.

“While some members had thought previously that the course had not enough hazards to be interesting, this view was changed completely Sunday,” The Bulletin wrote in an account of the opening day.

“The greens were found

to be in excellent condition Sunday, although a little too fast,” the story continued.

“The fairways which have been rolled permitted the ball a longer roll than other dirt courses in Central Oregon, but not (as) long a roll as is possible on grass, so that the scores in the 40s and 50s were in reality nearly perfect golf.”

Despite its challenges, the course proved to be a hit with members. And while other attempts at golf courses faded back into the pastures from which they had sprouted, Bend Golf Club grew.

The club hired New York’s Sid Reid as its first head professional in summer 1925, and

pro John Gravon (pro from 1927 to 1929 and from 1931 to 1935) ushered in the permanent course.

By 1929, the Bend club was full, with 125 members (the limit in the original bylaws), and was rapidly developing with additions of a caddie house, a pro shop and other improvements.

The upgrades must have been attractive. From 1930 to 1936, during the Great Depression, only six members resigned their memberships, according to club records.

And the roots of golf in Central Oregon began to strengthen.

Limbaugh: ‘I sincerely apologize’ for insults Limbaugh

The Associated Press Conservative talk show host Rush Limbaugh apologized Saturday to a Georgetown University law student he had branded a “slut” and “prostitute” after Republicans criticized him and several advertisers left his program.

The student, Sandra Fluke, had testified to congressional Democrats in

support of their national health care policy that would compel her college to offer coverage for birth control.

“My choice of words was not the best, and in the attempt to be humorous, I created a national stir,” Limbaugh said on his website. “I sincerely apologize to Ms. Fluke for the insulting word choices.”

Attempts to reach Fluke were unsuccessful. Fluke had been invited to testify to a House committee about her school’s health care plan that does not include contraception. The issue has been much debated in the presidential race, but Limbaugh was defiant through Friday. He called the entire debate “absolutely absurd.”

Mikhail Metzel / The Associated Press

Administrator Continued from A1 “It’s absolutely ridiculous, but for the sake of my sanity, I have to assume that that is what the citizens of Deschutes County want and expect from the two commissioners who voted to fire me, and I will simply move on and take my next team to the Super Bowl,” Kanner said. “However, it is reasonable to question what kind of head coach would want to work for that kind of owner.”

Last time the county recruited a county administrator, the finalist, Kanner, was an Oregonian who had risen steadily through the ranks at cities and counties. This time, both finalists for the job have spent the past decade managing progressively smaller towns and divisions within local governments, overseeing fewer employees and less money than earlier in their careers.

Walter Munchheimer’s last job was as director of the financial management division of Palm Beach County, Fla., where he oversaw surplus computers and other county property, the collection of road impact fees, and management consultants. Michael Segrest was town manager of Moraga, Calif., where he managed roughly 30 employees and a $6 million budget for nearly two years before resigning in November 2010.

The typical candidate is a person on the upward trajectory of his or her career, according to a county recruitment brochure. Such a candidate would have “at least eight years of progressively responsible executive or management experience obtained at the senior level of a medium or large public or private organization, agency, or association,” county staff wrote.

So why didn’t the job attract more candidates on their way up in Oregon government?

Desirable Deschutes Deschutes is the most populous county east of the Cascades, and managing its government could be the pinnacle of an administrator’s career.

The county government has a budget of $267 million, and with roughly 850 employees, it’s one of the largest local employers. The “outdoor recreation capital of the state” is a great place to live, county staff wrote in the recruitment brochure, and the government is in decent financial shape despite the weak economy.

The pay for the job isn’t bad, either. County officials plan to offer the next administrator a base salary in the range of $120,000 to $150,000, according to the brochure.

People with experience in Oregon local government said there are plenty of candidates available to manage Oregon counties and cities.

However, they also said there

may be several reasons the candidate pool might be limited.

Weak real estate values and the retirement of many in the baby boomer generation means fewer seasoned administrators are willing to relocate and many are exiting the labor force.

Another reason might be the decision by Commissioners Tammy Baney and Tony DeBone to fire Kanner in August, because potential candidates might be concerned about the stability of the job. Baney wanted Kanner to convey messages more positively; DeBone said Kanner did not do enough to boost employee morale.

Last month, commissioners and Kropp said only a few Oregonians with city and county government experience applied for the job.

County commissioners initiated a broad administrator search in October.

DeBone said he still believes it was “absolutely” a good idea to fire Kanner.

“I’m comfortable with the decisions we’ve made, and I’m moving forward,” DeBone said.

“Things are doing just fine.”

Commissioner Alan Unger, who voted to keep Kanner, said potential applicants consider many factors, such as whether a spouse would also be able to find a job.

“Some of it is the actions of a governing body like us,” Unger said.

The finalists The two finalists for the job each have nearly four decades of experience in local government.

Munchheimer held jobs as general manager of East Yolo Community Services District in California from 1980 to 1987; assistant county administrator of Escambia County, Fla., from 1994 to 1997; and deputy county manager of Fulton County, Ga., in 1998, according to a résumé provided by Deschutes County.

However, Munchheimer spent most of the past decade managing a division within the Palm Beach County Financial Management & Budget Department. He resigned in 2008 and has been looking for a job since.

“He may have looked at some budget-related stuff that had to do with his division,” Deanna MacDonald, special projects coordinator for the department, said in an interview last month. “But I wouldn’t say he prepared any budgets.”

Segrest was parks and recreation director for Boulder, Colo., from 1979 to 1990, then assistant city manager of Boulder from 1990 to 1993, according to his résumé. Segrest participated in preparation and management of a $148 million budget for the city, which had 900 employees.

From 1993 to 2000, Segrest worked as director of community resources for the city of Lakewood, Colo. He retired to spend time sailing, then took a

job as town manager of the resort community of Snowmass Village, Colo., from 2001 to 2006, according to published reports.

He resigned from that job to concentrate on his personal life and spent more time sailing before taking a job as town manager of Moraga, Calif., in 2009. Segrest resigned from that job in 2010.

Disadvantages There have been many local government administrator job openings and plenty of qualified candidates to fill them, according to people familiar with the job market. But the candidate pool could be decreasing for several reasons.

Roger Jordan is a retired city manager who worked in Sandy, Corvallis and Dallas. Jordan now serves as a “range rider” for the Oregon City County Managers Association, mentoring current administrators in Central and Southern Oregon.

“In the territory I represent, we’ve had a lot of turnover in the last couple of years,” Jordan said.

It’s normal, he said, to have some turnover in these jobs because city and county managers “serve at the pleasure of managers or councilors.”

“Often, when they change, they don’t see a match to the personalities, and so they choose to go a different way,” Jordan said.

Weak real estate values in many areas mean job candidates are faced with selling at a loss, Jordan said.

Former Bend City Manager Larry Patterson, who was terminated by a divided City Council in 2000 after a 14-year career with the city, also cited real estate values as an issue.

Patterson was interim city manager for Ashland until Kanner was hired.

“The ability to sell a house and buy a house, and not take significant losses, is definitely getting to be an issue,” Patterson said.

The retirement of many experienced managers in the baby boom generation is also shrinking this workforce.

Jennie Messmer, member services director for the League of Oregon Cities, helps local governments recruit new managers.

“We’ve been predicting for years that there will be a mass exodus of baby boomers retiring at some point, and I think with the (public pension) situation where it wasn’t very predictable for a while, people postponed that,” Messmer said.

“But I’m seeing a lot of retirements within cities right now.”

Jordan agreed.

“I think the biggest challenge we’ve seen in the last year is as the recession starts backing off, we’re seeing more and more people retire,” Jordan said.

However, Messmer said there’s no shortage of good candidates.

“There are really good midcareer candidates out there looking to move into positions,” Messmer said.

Termination Applicants might also be discouraged from applying if the last city or county manager was fired, Jordan said, although he also noted he is not familiar with Deschutes County’s recruiting situation.

“The one thing that does affect particularly local government is where the council terminates someone,” Jordan said. “If a manager is terminated and they’re looking for somebody else, we might know the manager and we might say that might not be a good place to go to because of the politics.

One of the things about city managers, Dave Kanner and everybody, is we know each other and talk to one another. … I’m not commenting on Deschutes County, but that can affect the pool of applicants.

I don’t know if that affected Deschutes County or not.”

Kanner’s five-year tenure at Deschutes County is not unusual for a top city or county manager, because he or she serves at the pleasure of elected councilors and commissioners who come and go with the election cycle.

Messmer said the firing of a previous city or county manager does not necessarily discourage people from applying, unless multiple employees left the agency involuntarily.

“The applicants are doing just as much research on the employer as the employer is doing on the applicants, if they’re serious about the job,” Messmer said.

Hardship fears fuel support for Putin

By Michael Schwirtz New York Times News Service

LYUBERTSY, Russia — It takes little more than a halfhour train ride from Moscow and a few hours walking the muddy streets of this raw, working-class suburb to get a sense of why Vladimir Putin will almost certainly win Russia’s presidential election today.

Muscovites call this “the rest of Russia.” There are no skyscrapers or 10-lane highways. Instead of heading to trendy sushi bars or coffee shops with free Wi-Fi after work, residents grab a greasy sausage and a beer from a kiosk as they head home, being careful to avoid the child-size potholes in the road.

Interviewed here in recent days, few said they were doing well. But for many here in Lyubertsy and other hardscrabble towns across Russia, any desire to live better is outweighed by a persistent fear of living worse. And there is no guarantee that things will remain on track without Putin at the helm.

“We will stay in one place or return to the old, terrifying days of the 1990s,” Lyudmila Kisilyova, a 60-year-old pensioner, said when asked what would happen if Putin lost the

election. “There is a huge difference today in comparison with those days. There was no work, there was nothing.

The stores were empty, and it was a terrifying time to live.

“I can’t say that everything is great today: Pensions are small, and we’re scared about the future of our children,” she said. “But life is better than in the 1990s.”

It is a sentiment that these days sounds alien in Moscow, where Putin has faced a challenge from a boisterous movement of urban elites whose ambitions and self-regard have outgrown the rigid confines of his rule.

Those elites are not Putin’s constituents, and he has done little to court them.

Rather, he seems keenly aware that his electoral success is linked less to a desire for progress than to a fear of backsliding.

Since announcing that he, not Russia’s current president, Dmitry Medvedev, would be running, he has repeatedly sought to remind Russians of the hardships they suffered in the years before he took power. “It is enough to take two or three incorrect steps, and all that came before could overcome us before we know it,” he has warned.

Health care Continued from A1 There are many possible explanations for why Americans pay so much more. It could be that Americans are sicker. Or that Americans go to the doctor more frequently. But health researchers have largely discarded these theories. As Gerard Anderson, Uwe Reinhardt, Peter Hussey and Varduhi Petrosyan put it in the title of their influential 2003 study on international health care costs, “it’s the prices, stupid.�

Dismissing other factors As it’s difficult to get good data on prices, that paper blamed prices largely by eliminating the other possible culprits. The authors considered, for instance, the idea that Americans were simply using more health care services but, on close inspection, found that Americans don’t see the doctor more often or stay longer in the hospital than residents of other countries. Quite the opposite, actually: Americans spend less time in the hospital than Germans and see the doctor less often than the Canadians. “The United States spends more on health care than any of the other OECD countries spend, without providing more services than the other countries do,� they concluded, referring to the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development, a treaty organization of mostly Western developed economies. “This suggests that the difference in spending is mostly attributable to higher prices of goods and services.�

On Friday, the International Federation of Health Plans, a global insurance trade association that includes more than 100 insurers in 25 countries, released more direct evidence. It surveyed its members on the prices paid for 23 medical services and products in different countries, asking after everything from a routine doctor’s visit to a dose of Lipitor to coronary bypass surgery. And in 22 of 23 cases, Americans are paying higher prices than residents of other developed countries. Usually, paying quite a bit more. (The exception is cataract surgery, which appears to be costlier in Switzerland, though cheaper everywhere else.)

Prices don’t explain all of

U.S.: $67,583 $10,000

20,000

the difference between America and other countries. But they do explain a big chunk of it. The question, of course, is why Americans pay such high prices — and why we haven’t done anything about it. “Other countries negotiate very aggressively with the providers and set rates that are much lower than we do,�

Anderson says. They do this in one of two ways. In countries like Canada and Britain, prices are set by the government.

In others, like Germany and Japan, they’re set by providers and insurers sitting in a room and coming to an agreement, with the government stepping in to set prices if they fail.

In the United States, Medicare and Medicaid negotiate prices on behalf of their tens of millions of members and, not coincidentally, purchase care at a substantial markdown from the commercial average.

But outside that, it’s a free-forall. Providers largely charge what they can, often offering different prices to different insurers and an even higher price to the uninsured.

Cost vs. care Health care is an unusual product in that it is difficult, and sometimes impossible, for the customer to say “no.�

In certain cases, the customer is unconscious or otherwise incapable of making decisions about care, and the decisions are made by providers whose mandate is to save lives rather than money.

In other cases, there is more time for loved ones to consider costs, but little emotional space to do so — no one wants to feel there was something more they could have done to save a parent or child. It is not like buying a television, where you can easily comparison shop and walk out of the store and even forgo the purchase entirely if it’s too expensive. “In my view, health is a business in the United States in quite a different way than it is elsewhere,� says Tom Sackville, a Briton who served in Margaret Thatcher’s government and now directs the IFHP. “It’s very much something people make money out of. There isn’t too much embarrassment about that compared to Europe and elsewhere.�

The result is that, unlike in other countries, sellers of health care services in America have considerable power

30,000

to set prices, and so they set them quite high. Two of the five most profitable industries in the United States — the pharmaceuticals industry and the medical device industry — sell health care. With margins of almost 20 percent, they beat out even the financial sector for sheer profitability.

The players sitting across the table from them — the health insurers — are not so profitable. In 2009, their profit margins were 2.2 percent. That’s a signal that the sellers have the upper hand over the buyers.

This is a good deal for residents of other countries, as our high spending makes medical innovations more profitable. “We end up with the benefits of your investment,� Sackville says. “You’re subsidizing the rest of the world by doing the front-end research.�

But many researchers are skeptical that this is an effective way to fund medical innovation. “We pay twice as much for brand-name drugs as most other industrialized countries,� Anderson says. “But the drug companies spend only 12 percent of their revenues on innovation. So, yes, some of that money goes to innovation, but only 12 percent of it.�

And others point out that you also need to account for the innovations and investments that our spending on health care is squeezing out. “There are opportunity costs,� says Reinhardt, an economist at Princeton. “The money we spend on health care is money we don’t spend educating our children or investing in infrastructure, scientific research and defense spending. So if what this means is we ultimately have overmedicalized, poorly educated Americans competing with China, that’s not a very good investment.�

What about ‘Obamacare’?

But as simple an explanation as “the prices are higher� is, it is a devilishly difficult problem to fix. Those prices, for one thing, mean profits for a large number of powerful and popular industries. For another, centralized bargaining cuts across the grain of America’s skepticism of government solutions. In the Medicare Prescription Drug Benefit, for instance, Congress expressly barred Medicare from negotiating the prices of drugs that it was paying for.

does little to directly address prices. It includes provisions forcing hospitals to publish their prices, which would bring more transparency to this issue, and it gives lawmakers more tools and more information they could use to address prices at some future date. The hope is that by gathering more data to find out which treatments truly work, the federal government will eventually be able to set prices based on the value of treatments, which would be easier than simply setting lower prices across-the-board. But this is, for the most part, a fight the bill ducked, which is part of the reason even the most committed defenders of “Obamacare� don’t think Americans will be paying anything like what they’re paying in other countries anytime soon. “There is so much inefficiency in our system that there’s a lot of low-hanging fruit we can deal with before we get into regulating people’s prices,� says Len Nichols, di-

(SBQIJD CZ 5IF 8BTIJOHUPO 1PTU

rector of the Center for Health Policy Research and Ethics at George Mason University. “Maybe after we’ve cut waste for 10 years, we’ll be ready to have a discussion over prices.�

And some economists warn that though high prices help explain why America spends so much more on health care than other countries, cutting prices is no cure-all if it doesn’t also cut the rate of growth. After all, if you drop prices by 20 percent, but health care spending still grows by 7 percent a year, you’ve wiped out the savings in three years.

Even so, Anderson says, “if I could change one thing in the United States to bring down total health expenditures, it would definitely be the prices.�

LOCAL BRIEFING Skier rescued near Wanoga A cross-country skier lost in the forest near Wanoga Sno-park on Friday evening was rescued

by Deschutes County Search and Rescue.

Kelly Hansen, 41, of Bend, was found about 3¾ miles east of the Wanoga Dog Ski Track area at 8:30 p.m., three hours after she had been reported missing.

Hansen had been skiing alone accompanied by her two dogs and became disoriented after skiing up and down Kiwa Butte. She was found in good condition.

She was towed on her skis back to Century Drive by a snowmobile.

2 arrested in Hwy. 97 pot bust Two Idaho residents were arrested near Crescent Friday afternoon when Oregon State Police discovered more than a pound of marijuana inside their pickup during a traffic stop.

Jason T. Brown, 31, of Star, Idaho, and Tammi L. Leuck, 36, of Boise, were lodged in the Klamath County Jail on charges of unlawful possession and delivery of marijuana, unlawful possession of a controlled substance, second-degree theft and unlawful possession of a firearm.

Two OSP troopers stopped a truck driven

by Brown shortly before 3 p.m. on U.S. Highway 97. Subsequent investigation led to the discovery of more than a pound of marijuana inside a suitcase, prescription pills, a handgun, and a laptop computer believed to be stolen.

The OSP estimated the value of the seized marijuana at $2,500.

Redmond Deaths put focus on teen crashes introduces weighted grades REDMOND ACCIDENT UNDER INVESTIGATION

By Ben Botkin The Bulletin

REDMOND — A 16-yearold student who died last month in a crash that also killed her 15-year-old passenger had had her driver’s license for less than four months. Under Oregon law, drivers younger than 18 generally may not have passengers under 20 years old with them during their first six months as license holders.

Tara Goad received her driver’s license on Oct. 20, according to Oregon Department of Motor Vehicles records. Goad and passenger Tirisa Tucker died on the morning of Feb. 6 while driving to school. Police say Goad, who was driving north on U.S.

Kyle Wattenburg, 15, of Sisters, steers the Skid Car during Saturday’s training program.

Highway 97, lost control and crossed the highway’s median into southbound traffic.

Goad was a junior at Redmond Proficiency Academy, and Tucker, a freshman, had recently transferred to Redmond High School. Both girls died at the scene.

Redmond Police Lt. Nathan Garibay said authorities are aware that Goad was not adhering to Oregon’s graduated license law at the time of the accident. He said the crash is still under investigation, however, and stressed that it could have been caused by a number of factors besides driver distraction, which is the phenomenon Oregon’s young-driver law was intended to address.

See Driver / B4

Graduated licenses save lives

The number of serious accidents involving 16-year-old drivers has dropped significantly since 2000, when the Oregon Legislature approved a law creating graduated drivers licenses. Serious accidents are those resulting in a severe injury or fatality.

Traction inaction

WASHINGTON — The most important vote this week was the Senate’s rejection Thursday of an amendment that would have allowed any employer to forgo the Obama administration’s rules for birth control coverage based on religious or moral objections.

By a 51-48 margin, the Senate voted down the Blunt Amendment, named after the member who introduced it, Sen. Roy Blunt, R-Mo. The White House policy requires employers to pay for birth control as part of employees’ health care plans, but allows religious organizations to opt out of the policy.

The administration initially exempted only churches and houses of worship, but expanded the exception to include religiously affiliated organizations, such as hospitals, charities and educational facilities.

Republicans maintained that a broader exemption was needed so that employers would not be required to violate their own beliefs. The 51-48 vote was along party lines, with three Democrats (Bob Casey, Pa., Joe Manchin, W.Va., and Bob Nelson, Neb.) joining the Republican minority. Maine Republican Olympia Snowe, who announced this week that she would not seek re-election, voted with the Democrats.

REDMOND — In an effort to encourage students to sign up for advanced courses, the Redmond School District is introducing a “weighted” grading system that recognizes that not all classes are created equal.

The system, which will affect students at Redmond and Ridgeview high schools, will reward students who receive high grades in tougher courses without punishing those who receive middling grades like B’s and C’s.

Other districts in Central Oregon use weighted grades already.

Without the change, educators say, students who want to preserve high grade point averages might avoid particularly rigorous classes. That concern is tied in part to scholarship programs, which take grade point averages into consideration when comparing students from different districts.

“We would see kids in their senior year that were competing to keep a four-point GPA not take a more rigorous class because of the fear of losing that four-point GPA,” said Tony Pupo, an assistant principal at Redmond High School. “This actually will encourage them to take those more rigorous courses.”

The Skid Car system uses a regular street vehicle mounted on a heavy frame. The instructor uses a hydraulic lift and a computer to raise the car, reducing traction on front tires, back tires, or both. The Skid Car can simulate driving on wet, icy or snowy roads while allowing drivers to gain experience and confidence in a safe, controlled environment.

• Skid Car program simulates slick road conditions for student drivers

By Scott Hammers The Bulletin

Summit High School student Reese Leland thought there was an outside chance he’d spend Saturday morning driving a Porsche. Instead, it was an old police car on an ungainly set of training wheels that served as classroom for Leland and two other young teen drivers learning how to drive in slick conditions.

Members of the High Desert Region of the Porsche Club of America are sponsoring 21 scholarships for local high school driver education students to take driving lessons with Michael Johnston, instructor with

the Deschutes County Skid Car program. The modified car can simulate the experience of driving on the iciest roads, allowing students to slip and spin on dry pavement.

The scholarships were raffled at high schools in Bend, Redmond and Sisters, said Porsche club member Mike Simmons, part of the club’s efforts to make regular automotive-related charitable donations.

Sisters High School student Kyle Wattenburg said getting a free lesson on Saturday was an “amazing” opportunity. Kyle and two other students spent an hour in the classroom with Johnston,

then three hours driving around a course laid out in a parking lot behind the Deschutes County Public Works building on Southeast 27th Street.

Bend High School student Alex Henry said he’d done a bit of ice-driving practice with his older brother earlier this winter, but he felt like he learned a lot more working with Johnston.

“I feel like when it’s snowing or icy, I’ll be able to drive a lot better without freaking out so much,” he said.

Reese agreed.

“I feel pretty confident,” he said.

See Skid Car / B5

Try your hand at the Skid Car Classes with Skid Car instructor Michael Johnston can be scheduled seven days a week.

Participants pay $70 for the 4-hour class, which includes 1 hour of classroom instruction and 3 hours of behindthe-wheel practice.

For information, contact Judy Sumners with Deschutes County at 541-385-1749.

Essentially, the change means the student who gets a B grade in an advanced course will get the same number of points to put toward a final gradepoint average as the student who gets an A on a basic-level course.

George Hegarty, an English teacher at Redmond High, said the change will provide the flexibility needed for risk-averse students to try an advanced course.

“What we’ve found is your skill is not as important as your passion for learning,” he said.

Weighted grades will apply only to Advanced Placement courses, International Baccalaureate courses and designated dual-credit courses, which provide college and high school credits simultaneously. Only dual-credit courses in core subject areas — language arts, math, social studies, science and foreign languages — are covered.

The change will kick in for students who will graduate in 2013, and it will be retroactive for all four years.

New stopping place L.A. Rawlings, who lives at Harney Holes, is preparing to put in a roadhouse to take care of the travel passing there.

Harney Holes is about 20 miles east of Millican’s ranch and a stopping place there will be an accommodation to a large number of people. It is on the old road to Hampton Valley, Pringle Flats and the Dry Lake country near Held.

Into this new territory many homesteaders are going, and in coming to Bend for supplies they have had to make a long day’s journey on account of there being no roadhouse at Harney Holes. The freighters of W.W. Brown also use this road and will not have to

camp out now.

Mr. Rawlings’ sister, Mrs. Cotton, arrived in Bend last week and was taken out to Harney Holes by Walter Taylor. She will conduct the roadhouse.

Irish will dance On Monday evening there will be a big ball at Linster’s Hall under the auspices of the local transplanted patriots of the Emerald Isle, in honor of St. Patrick’s day, which falls on Sunday.

The committee on arrange-

ments is composed of James Ryan, Mike McGrath and Barney O’Donnell. The floor committee comprises the following: Hugh O’Kane, Mike McGrath, Harry Manion, Joe Innes and Barney O’Donnell.

Full particulars concerning the dance will be announced later.

Fire loss of $12,500 Fire which was discovered at 12 o’clock Sunday night destroyed the H.H. Davies block on Wall Street and put three concerns out of business. The

total loss was approximately $12,500, with insurance of $3,900.

The following business houses were wiped out: W.C. Bradenhagen, clothing store, Clyde M. Corkett, candy and confectionery store and Homeseekers’ Land Co. The flames had gained great headway before they were discovered by Glenn Eyre about midnight. He gave the alarm by shooting his pistol and in a few moments the volunteer firemen were on hand.

Beer drinkers try “sit down” Forty sit-down strikers protesting the high cost of beer went on a water diet in Anton Grohar’s beer tavern today.

Their dissatisfied toast was “nickel beer or none.”

Anton said he was sorry, but the tavern owners association had upped the price to a dime, and a dime it will have to be.

So the sit-downers sat stolidly on the stools and waited for the association to change its mind. Meantime they drank water.

The sit-downers ate most of Anton’s pretzels and popcorn the first night of their siege. It might have been a total loss, but Anton is a power to be reckoned with and he has his talents.

He drew a glass of beer — regular 14-ounce size — slapped it on the bar, and stood off to admire. As 40 pairs of eyes watched greedily, he raised the glass to his lips and drained half of it. He smacked his lips and sighed: “Ah that’s good beer,” Anton exclaimed.

“I’ll give you a nickel for a glass like that, Tony,” offered Joseph (Smokey Joe) Seeley, strikers’ spokesman.

Anton shook his head.

“Well give us some water then.”

Anton grinned and served — water.

urday brings a glow of pride to us all. The competition was keen as is shown by the very narrow margin by which the Bend victory was achieved. To win under such circumstances is doubly satisfactory.

The creditable performance of the Lava Bear team in last year’s tournament and this year’s victory calls attention to the development of skiing as a winter sport in this vicinity.

Good ski courses lie almost at our door and at the Skyliner hill on Tumalo Creek there are ideal opportunities for jumping and slalom racing. When the road problems are settled the sport will attract many more than it does even now and we may expect the development of many more winning high school teams.

Congratulations to the high school team. And may we, here in the Bulletin office, take a little extra pleasure in Cliff Blann’s showing since he has been working in our circulation department for several years.

New queen escaped ’94 fire due to last minute illness

By Phil F. Brogan Heading the Deschutes Pioneer’s Association as queen in the coming year is an earlyday resident of the Silver Lake community who was born in a log cabin.

She is Isa Corum Freeman, who escaped the Silver Lake fire of 1894 because she developed a severe earache as the family team was being hitched for the trip to town. In that fire, worst in Oregon’s history, 43 persons died.

Mrs. Freeman was introduced as queen at the annual dinner and reunion of the Deschutes Pioneers at the Pine Forest Grange Hall here Saturday night. Present was a large crowd, with Claude Kelley, 1961 president, in charge.

Steve Steidl, named president for 1962, took over the gavel from Kelley.

In the House, the most important vote this week was one that didn’t take place. Speaker John Boehner, R-Ohio, once again opted not to bring a transportation bill to the House floor for a vote after failing to gain sufficient support for an 18-month extension.

Last month, Boehner backed off from calling for a vote on a fiveyear, $260 billion bill after some House Republicans expressed concerns about how to pay for it.

This week, he told reporters that he hadn’t been able to muster

much enthusiasm for the shorter extension, either. Some federal programs are set to expire on March 31, so stay tuned.

The House did vote on a resolution condemning Iran for its continued persecution, imprisonment and sentencing of Youcef Nadarkhani on the charge of apostasy.

Nadarkhani, a Christian pastor, has refused to recant his religion and is facing execution. The measure passed, 417-1, with only Rep. Lois Capps, D-Calif., voting against the measure.

dent of the association, was named Pioneer of the year.

Born in the Powell Butte community, he has spent most of his life at the Old Homestead in the upper Deschutes country, occupied by the family of the late W.P. Vandevert in 1892.

James Reed, Culver, whose wife served as Deschutes Pioneer queen this past year, was introduced as the pioneer present with the longest residence in the area. His residence dates to 1882.

Mrs. Freeman was born in a log cabin in the Silver Lake community in 1888, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Samuel G. Corum. She was married in 1908 to James L. Freeman. Mrs. Freeman is now the mother of six children. She is now a resident of Bend.

On the night of the Silver Lake tragedy, Christmas eve, 1894, Mrs. Freeman’s father had his team hitched to the buckboard ready for the trip into Silver Lake for the yule party. When he heard the little girl has a severe earache, he unhitched the team and the family remained home. They did not hear about the fire until the next day.

The Silver Lake tragedy of 1894 occurred when a hanging kerosene lamp was knocked over while a Christmas tree party was in progress. Flames quickly swept through the hall.

Santa a hostage somewhere in Bend Police are on the lookout for a missing person described as average height, 100 to 125 pounds, with white hair, a white beard and a jolly countenance, last seen wearing a red suit and black snowmobile boots.

That’s right, Virginia — Santa Claus has been kidnapped.

The life-sized Santa, which had been the centerpiece of a colorful front yard Christmas display, disappeared from the garage of a home at 2044 N.E. Wells Acres Road on Feb. 13, said Bend police Lt. Bob Glynn.

Glynn said some youngsters apparently entered the unlocked garage and made off with the right jolly old elf.

They were spotted by a neighbor as they carted St. Nick off along Wells Acres Road.

The witness told police he saw three or four youngsters, a mixture of boys and girls about junior high age. One of Santa’s gloves was found by a mailbox at the curb and the other was found further down the street at the intersection of Daggett Lane, “indicating their direction of travel,” Glynn said.

O N Wine institute toasts new facility

By Inka Bajandas

Student Debra Koehler, of Elkton, notes the color of a glass of wine during a wine tasting and pairing class at the Southern Oregon Wine Institute at Umpqua Community College.

The News-Review

WINCHESTER — Using their senses, Southern Oregon Wine Institute students tried to identify the variety of wine in the glasses in front of them.

Working their way through a cluster of long-stemmed glasses, the students took notes on the aroma, taste and appearance of each wine. After swirling, sniffing and tasting the samples, they reported back a creative array of scents.

Some of the aromas they picked up, like old milk, rotten banana, cooked cabbage and barnyard, didn’t sound particularly appetizing. Others, like green apple, bubble gum, vanilla, honey, mango, melon and jasmine, might appear on the label of a wine bottle.

“Any guesses?” the wine institute’s associate director, Dwayne Bershaw, eagerly asked after writing the students’ descriptions of each wine on a white board. Then he pulled the bottle out of its paper bag sheath, exposing the label.

The wine appreciation class was among the first held in the wine institute’s new headquarters, the $6.8 million Danny Lang Teaching, Learning and Event Center. Since construction was completed on Umpqua Community College’s newest building earlier this year, students learning about growing and making wine are no longer borrowing classroom space from other departments.

“It feels like we have a home now,” said SOWI student Amy Ashby, 35, of Roseburg, one of 60 students enrolled in the program.

Fellow student Caleb Krautz, 30, of Medford, said it’s been nice conducting tastings in a new classroom instead of a smelly chemistry classroom.

“There were aromas from all the chemicals in there,” he said. “It would desensitize us to certain smells.”

Students are also pleased the new building will provide more space to make wine and allow for traditional courses instead of just online ones starting in the fall.

Until now, wine institute students, which include many displaced workers and older nontraditional students, took classes online and came in on weekends or in the evenings for lab work in UCC’s chemistry classrooms. Students also learned at wineries.

The program offers a oneyear certificate and two-year

Michael Sullivan The News-Review

degree in viticulture and enology.

SOWI student Jeff Euchler, 45, of Roseburg, said he’s looking forward to taking more classes in the new building.

“It’s awesome. I’ve been waiting for this for a long time,” he said. “This way, we get to have face-to-face classes.

I’m a big fan of face-to-face.”

Euchler said he’s excited that he will get to help make the wine institute’s first batch of wine in the new facility.

SOWI Director Chris Lake recently moved with Bershaw into the building from the wine institute’s former headquarters on the far north end of the UCC campus.

“It’s fun, fun moving into a new house,” he said. “We had to crush grapes in the rain last year. We don’t have to do that this year. We’ll have a roof over our heads.”

Lake said he and Bershaw are still securing the funding and shopping around for the last of the equipment needed to produce wine. The equipment will include large tanks to hold the wine as it ferments.

Along with housing the wine institute, the center includes a kitchen and tasting room and has been touted

by UCC as a project that will benefit Douglas County economically by supporting the region’s wine industry. The college received $4.25 million in federal stimulus bonds to pay for the center. The rest of the funding was donated by businesses, Douglas County cities, organizations and community members. Sutherlin attorney Danny Lang, for whom the building is named, donated the first $800,000.

The U.S. Economic Development Administration invested $1.25 million in the wine center to help fledgling wineries. The funding will allow the wine center to rent space and equipment to winemakers who will bring in their own grapes to make wine.

Although she has experience making wine in New Zealand and California, Melonie Pierce, 35, of Umpqua, said enrolling in the wine institute is giving her more technical knowledge about the craft. She said she hopes to start a winery on 560 acres in Umpqua.

“I have to learn what I can so I can make it as a winemaker,” Pierce said.

It will be nice learning at UCC using the latest in winemaking equipment, she added.

She said it’s beneficial the building will offer the opportunity for newer winemakers to rent space to make their product. She expects Douglas County to become a premier wine growing region.

“This area just has so much potential of becoming worldfamous,” Pierce said.

Euchler worked in construction before he lost his job and decided to go back to school.

“I just figured this was the best choice because this place is basically the new Napa,” he said. “Just a job would be nice.”

Pierce said classes like the wine tasting class last week, which introduced students to wine from noted growing regions like Northern California, will help her become a better winemaker.

“We learn quite a lot about wines we would not usually try,” she said. “The more you smell and taste, the better you

Republicans gather for Dorchester Conference The Associated Press SEASIDE — Oregon Republicans are at the coast this weekend for their annual gathering, the Dorchester Conference at Seaside.

Dorchester dates to 1964, when it was initiated by Bob Packwood, later a U.S. senator.

Packwood was at the conference Friday night along with the last Republican governor of Oregon, Vic Atiyeh, who left office in 1987.

This year’s conference comes near the end of a legislative session that has turned contentious.

Toward the end of the week, the parties quarreled about the conference. Democrats urged Republican legislators to stick around in Salem to finish the session rather than letting it spill over into next week.

Hanna’s Democratic counterpart, Arnie Roblan of Coos Bay, missed Thursday’s opening night in New York City of a play his daughter wrote and produced.

At Seaside, the Republican co-speaker of the evenly divided House, Bruce Hanna of Roseburg, said his caucus wouldn’t be pressured by time limits “We’re pressured by the right kind of legislation to pass through this body, not some feel-good, look-good thing,” he said. “And if it takes an extra day, we’re going to get that job done.”

Lawmakers get a $123 per diem payment for every day they are in session, including weekends.

Much of the Dorchester conference is about rallying

the party. Rep. Greg Walden, the only Republican among the state’s seven members of Congress, vowed Saturday to help an offensive this year to win both the White House and the U.S. Senate.

But his half-hour speech wasn’t all a battle cry. He spoke about cyber-security concerns and work he is doing with Reps. Kurt Schrader and Peter DeFazio, both Democrats, to increase logging on federal land.

The conference will conduct a straw poll today in the presidential race.

Last year, Mitt Romney came in second, with 23 percent, to Mitch Daniels, the governor of Indiana, who took himself out of the race. Daniels got 30 percent. Sarah Palin got 18 percent.

get at recognizing (wines). You learn how a wine can vary in taste so much.”

Although it’s a tasting class, you won’t see the students getting tipsy, Pierce explained, pointing out a plastic “spit cup” on the table in front of her as she prepared to sample wines.

“Dwayne doesn’t let us drink in class,” she said. “Some of us are lightweights.”

Krautz said before he got a job in the tasting room at RoxyAnn Winery in Medford, he worked in construction. He said the transition meant he had a lot to learn.

“You read the crazy descriptions of wines,” Krautz said. “I would taste stuff and not have a clue.”

Taking classes through SOWI has made it easier to make recommendations to customers, he said.

“I’ll pour wines, and they tell me what they like best,” Krautz said, “and I can tell them what wines they’d like in the future.”

Can collector finds grenade instead SWEET HOME — Authorities say a man looking for cans behind the grandstands at Sweet Home High School came across a grenade instead.

An Oregon State Police bomb squad detonated it Friday and judged from the small explosion that it was likely a training device, not a live grenade.

Local police reported that the man who found it pulled it out of the dirt and laid it on the ground. When members of the bomb squad arrived, they dug a hole and reburied it, with a detonation cord wrapped around.

Police said it appeared the grenade had been in the ground a long time, and they weren’t sure how it got there.

Hiker dies after fall at Silver Falls park SALEM — The Oregon State Police say a 56-year-old hiker has died after slipping and falling about 100 feet at Silver Falls State Park.

The police identified him as Daniel Frank Bonham of Woodburn. Family members say he was a frequent visitor to the park.

He was reported overdue late Friday after a day hike, and park rangers found his body early Saturday. Officers said they delayed recovering the body until morning because of the difficult terrain, snow and ice, and darkness.

Man pleads guilty in tiki torch attack HILLSBORO — A 28year-old Sherwood man who grabbed an unlit tiki torch from a couple’s backyard and

attacked the sleeping residents with it has pleaded guilty to second-degree assault.

Matthew Zamora was sentenced Thursday to nearly six years in prison.

As the couple awoke to the sight of a scantily clad Zamora swinging the torch at them, the man grabbed a handgun he keeps next to his bed. Washington County sheriff’s officers say Zamora knocked it from his hand, causing it to fire into a wall.

The woman then grabbed a shotgun she keeps on her side of the bed and ordered Zamora out of the house in Aloha, west of Portland.

When arrested, Zamora reportedly was wearing only underwear, socks and a neck bandanna. Officers say he appeared to be under the influence of drugs.

Couple arraigned in attempted murder ONTARIO — An Eastern Oregon couple have been arraigned on attempted murder charges in the shooting of the father of their grandchild.

Malheur County District Attorney Dan Norris said police had previously been involved in custody disputes involving the child 19-yearold Ramon Fry was leaving at the couple’s home Wednesday after a visitation.

The accused are 61-yearold Lester Earl Reger and 50year-old Erlene Kay Reger of Ontario. He was held Thursday on $500,000 bond. She was released on $50,000 bail.

Fry, from Garden Valley, Idaho, was hospitalized and expected to survive. Norris said he was shot in the back of the head and in the abdomen.

Fry had been in a relationship with the couple’s daughter.

The soldiers, collectively known as Easy Company, participated in the June 6, 1944, invasion of Normandy, parachuted into Holland for the disastrous Operation Market Garden, and fought through frostbite and German artillery in the Battle of the Bulge.

At 6 feet, 220 pounds, he had been a two-sport varsity athlete for the University of California at Los Angeles before he became an Army officer in 1943. He was a catcher

Garibay said it may take a couple of weeks before the investigation wraps up, and answers may be elusive even then. “We may never know exactly what led up to the loss of control,� he said. “It’s just a terrible tragedy that these two young ladies lost their lives.�

Restricted driving The crash highlights a 2000 Oregon law that imposes restrictions for new drivers younger than 18 and gradually increases the level of freedom they have behind the wheel. The law created what’s called a graduated driver’s license.

During the first six months, drivers younger than 18 may have no passengers younger than 20 except for immediate family members. During the ensuing six-month period, such drivers may not have more than three passengers younger than 20 unless they are immediate family members.

The law also allows passengers younger than 20 if the driver’s adult or legal guardian is in the vehicle.

Oregon’s law was part of a nationwide trend that caught on in the 1990s in an effort to decrease accidents involving young drivers, said David House, a spokesman with the Oregon DMV. “You can’t carpool under these restrictions,� House said. “The reason for that is that’s what teens were doing and they were distracting each other and getting into crashes.�

The graduated driver’s license also dictates when young drivers may be on the road. During the first 12 months of driving, people under 18 may not drive between midnight and 5 a.m.

Exceptions are allowed only if the driving is related to work, school activities for which no transportation is provided, or the teen is accompanied by a licensed driver at least 25 years old.

Statistics show that serious accidents involving drivers younger than 18 dropped after the law was enacted 12 years ago.

In 1998, Oregon had 1,196 crashes with a fatality or serious injury that involved a 16-year-old driver. In 2000, the first year the law was in place, there were 898 such crashes, a 24.9 percent drop, according to Oregon Department of Transportation statistics. Since then, the crashes have generally trended downward each year, hitting a low of 450 in 2009, according to ODOT. A similar drop also was seen for 17-year-old drivers, going from 1,494 accidents with fatalities or serious injuries in 1998 to 1,201 in 2000, a 19.8 percent drop, according to ODOT. In 2009, there were 796 crashes with 17-year-old drivers, ODOT said.

Of those figures, the fatalities and injuries apply to either the drivers or others involved in the accidents.

Enforcing the law Teens who don’t follow the law can face a fine of $260, according to Oregon State Police. If the driver already has two traffic convictions or accidents, the DMV can put a three-month restriction in place that allows teens to drive only to and from work. Further violations can lead to a suspension of driving privileges.

OSP Sgt. David MacKenzie said violating the graduated license law is not a primary offense because officers cannot profile and pull over drivers based solely on their age. That means police usually don’t find out unless they pull a driver over for something else. “In our office, we don’t tend to get that many violations of the law,� he said.

Bend Police Sgt. John Carlon said his indications — after checking with a patrol officer — are that violations happen, but not frequently.

Out of hundreds of traffic stops a month, a Bend patrol officer estimated discovering that violation about five times a year, Carlon said. — Reporter: 541-977-7185, bbotkin@bendbulletin.com

Through years of care, Tsunami debris diffusing en route troubled parrot recovers

Yender said that so far, no debris confirmed to be from the tsunamis has landed in the U.S., including large buoys suspected to be from Japanese oyster farms found in Alaska last year. The buoys would have had to travel faster than currents to get to Alaska at that time if they were set loose by the March 11 tsunamis.

Similar buoys have washed ashore in Alaska and the U.S. West Coast before the tsunami, she said.

Yender said there is little chance of debris being contaminated by radiation. The debris came from a large swath of Japan’s northeastern coast, not only near the damaged nuclear power plant in Fukushima. Further, it was dragged out to sea with the tsunamis, not while meltdowns occurred at the Fukushima plant.

Maximenko said the dispersion of the debris makes it more difficult to track but no less hazardous.

“In many cases it’s not density that matters, it’s total amount,” he said. “For example, if there’s a current flowing around Midway island, that island would collect debris like a trawl moving across the ocean. It will collect all the debris on its way.”

BATTLE GROUND, Wash.

— “I’m a bad bird! I’m a bad bird! I’m a bad bird!”

Doc the parrot’s deep-voiced self-assessment bounced off the walls of Brenda Wilson’s home seconds after he bit his new owner on the finger. She had unknowingly committed the cardinal sin in his world. She had threatened his “baby bell.”

Wilson looked past Doc’s harsh indictment on that day a decade ago. Sure, he ripped out his feathers, attempted to slit his own throat with his beak and talked ceaselessly in the dark — all remnants of a rough upbringing — but he was not a bad bird, she reasoned. He needed love.

Ten years later, people who met Doc in those tumultuous early days marvel at his transformation from a turbulent, anxiety-ridden bird to a calmer one with excellent diction and counting skills, buoyed by years of watching “Sesame Street.” They marvel, too, at Wilson’s patience and compassion for an animal many others would have discarded.

The amazing thing, Wilson’s friends and family agree, is that what she has done for Doc she has done for hundreds of wayward animals, a quality that led one friend to liken her to St. Francis of Assisi, the patron saint of animals. She cared for them even as she raised her two children, now grown, and worked as a home health care nurse.

“I look back and think, ‘How in the heck did I do all that? How did I take care all of those critters?’ ” Wilson said this week, while sitting on her living room sofa.

Doc arrived from Vancouver, Wash., at Brenda Wilson’s door the same way most of the other 100 or so parrots she rescued in the 2000s did: its owner could no longer care for it.

Unlike most pets, parrots are a decades-long commitment and may outlive their owners.

Wilson’s ability to care for unwanted animals became so well-known in Clark County through word of mouth that parrot cages lined her living room and other previously open spaces in her home in Venersborg, a rural area outside Battle Ground. Even in a room full of castaways, Doc’s appearance raised alarms.

He reeked of smoke, his sticky feathers felt tarred and he plucked them incessantly.

His feathers’ texture, in particular, made Wilson question whether he had been exposed through the air to illegal drugs.

He was abnormally attached to

Grades Continued from B1 That means the weighted grading system will apply to all advanced courses taken during their entire tenure in high school.

Affected courses will be graded on a five-point scale instead of a traditional four-point scale. In this system, an A grade will garner five points, a B four points, a C three points and a D two points. An F is worth zero points.

Those points will then be factored into to the student’s overall grade-point average, which will include both advanced courses and traditional courses graded on a four-point scale.

With the traditional fourpoint system, an A is worth four points, a B three points, a C two points and a D one point. An F is worth nothing.

The weighted grades also will be factored in when calculating class rank.

Getting there Making the switch to a weighted grading system wasn’t quick. Beginning last year, an eight-member committee of Redmond High School staff and parents researched the issue and looked at grading systems in place elsewhere.

One parent involved in the effort is Barbara Veale Smith, whose son, Conor Smith, is a junior in Redmond’s IB program.

In looking at the system without weighted grades, she said, an A in a rigorous course that involved a great deal of work earned a student

a silver bell in his cage, which he often clutched in his beak.

Doctors at VCA East Mill Plain Animal Hospital treated Doc in 2002 for feather-plucking, a condition often caused by nutritional deficiencies or environmental causes. Blood work performed on him came back negative for any more serious maladies, said Dr. Alayson Phelps, a veterinarian and medical director at the animal hospital. “(Birds) are busy and they’re very smart,” Phelps said. “If they’re kept in a state that’s not ideal, it causes them to start picking and self-mutilating.”

Doctors considered putting Doc, then 3 years old, on antidepressants, Wilson recalled.

The times he did not pick his feathers or bite his toenails, he hollered at the top of his lungs.

“You’d be having a conversation talking over this ‘arrrrrgh arrrrrrgh arrrrrgh,’ ” neighbor Jacqueline Freeman said. Freeman left Wilson’s house wondering how she put up with the bird’s screaming.

The thought of giving Doc away never crossed Wilson’s mind.

“Anything people are not able to take care of, she has a gift to take care of it and love it 100 percent,” her daughter, Jennifer, said.

Wilson peeked into Doc’s white cage, 3 feet high and 2 feet wide, Wednesday afternoon and implored him to talk.

Silence.

Doc is generally loquacious, Wilson said. He talks with her, as well as the three other parrots Colby, Angel and Panama, who call her living room home. He also counts to 10 with Count Von Count while watching “Sesame Street” and laughs uproariously at “America’s Funniest Home Videos.”

Through the years, Wilson passed her love of animals to her children and also the 22 children who participated in her day care program. That was the easy part.

The hard part?

Learning to let go of the animals and allow others to care for them, such as Bob Dawson’s Macaw and Amazon Sanctuary in the small town of Carnation, east of Seattle. She gave most of her birds to the sanctuary, after years of ill health after a vehicle accidentally rolled over her in a parking lot plus a bout with thyroid cancer.

Even as she recovers her health she instinctively puts her animals first.

Why? “Comfort, I guess,” Wilson said. “I just enjoy being with them. I always have since I was a kid.”

as many points toward his grade-point average as an A in a standard course.

“As I started to listen to parents, I thought, ‘That doesn’t seem quite right,’ ” she said, adding that some parents and students had opted out of the advanced program to avoid taking a hit to the students’ grade-point averages.

“I was hearing parents say they weren’t going to have their children in the program because they weren’t getting credit for the hard work they were doing,” she said.

Smith said the change helps level the playing field while also encouraging students and parents to participate in challenging courses and programs.

John Albrecht, a counselor at Redmond High, echoed that.

He said the weighted grading system will serve as an equalizer that balances the concerns about grade-point averages with the opportunities that advanced courses offer.

“There’s now a system in place that recognizes the rigor,” he said.

Other districts Other Central Oregon school districts use a five-point scale to create weighted grades.

Jefferson County School District and Sisters School District have weighted grades for AP courses.

Bend-La Pine Schools uses the system for AP and IB courses. The district also has weighted grading for 300-level and 400-level college classes in math, science, English, social studies and world language.

HONOLULU — Refrigerators, TVs and other debris dragged into sea when a massive earthquake hit Japan last March, causing tsunamis as high as 130 feet to crash ashore, could show up in remote atolls north of Hawaii as soon as this winter, with other pieces reaching parts of the West Coast in 2013 and 2014, experts say.

Debris from the tsunami initially formed a thick mass in the ocean of Japan’s northeastern coast. But ocean currents have dispersed the pieces so they’re now estimated to spread out some 3,000 miles halfway across the Pacific.

The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration said Tuesday the first bits of tsunami debris are estimated to make landfall this winter on small atolls northwest of the main Hawaiian Islands. Other pieces are expected to reach the coasts of Oregon, Washington state, Alaska and Canada between March 2013 and March 2014.

Skid Car Continued from B1 The skid car is a policestyle Chevrolet Caprice with small wheels that spin like those on a shopping cart mounted to outriggers jutting from all four corners. A hydraulic system controlled by the instructor lifts the car up onto the small wheels, causing the tires to lose traction and making the car slide.

Porsche club president Tim Hagner took the course with some of his fellow club members last year.

“It was great. I recommend it to anyone. You’re never too old to learn. I’m a car guy, I’ve had a driver’s license for

A Japanese home floats in the Pacific Ocean in this March 13, 2011, photo. Scientists believe 1 million to 2 million tons of debris — lumber and other construction material, fishing boats and other fragments of coastal towns — are being carried across the Pacific and may reach Hawaii, Alaska, Oregon and Washington.

Yender, said agency workers were boarding Coast Guard flights that patrol the archipelago. NOAA also asked scientists stationed at Midway and other atolls to look for the debris.

In September, a Russian training ship spotted a refrigerator, a television set and other appliances west of Hawaii. By now, the debris has likely drifted so far apart that only one object can be seen at a time, said Nikolai Maximenko, a Univer-

sity of Hawaii researcher and ocean currents expert.

Most items likely sank not far from Japan’s eastern coast.

One million to 2 million tons of debris remain in the ocean, but only 1 to 5 percent of that could reach American and Canadian shorelines, Maximenko said. The tsunamis that followed the magnitude-9 earthquake generated 20 million to 25 million tons of debris, including what was left on land.

a lot of years, and I have some experience driving race cars in the past, but you can still learn,” he said. “That car they put you in with the outriggers is really neat. It forces you to pay attention and develop some skills.”

Johnston said while drivers of all ages can benefit from the course, teens who haven’t yet developed bad habits often make the best students.

Johnston, a retired Deschutes County Sheriff’s Office deputy who teaches driving at the Oregon State Police Academy on the side, said bad habits tend to take over when a driver goes into a slide and begins to panic.

“The first thing everyone wants to do is stomp on the brake pedal if something goes

wrong,” he said. “That’s absolutely the wrong thing to do.”

Kyle’s mother, Debora Wattenburg, said she was thrilled her son won a lesson with Johnston, especially with him turning 16 and getting ready to get his driver’s license soon.

“This is just absolutely perfect, because his birthday is next month, and my confidence is just through the roof now,” Wattenburg said. “We’re very, very grateful.”

In Pacific Northwest, mudslides take toll

By William Yardley New York Times News Service

EVERETT, Wash. — As commutes go, the 59-minute train trip from this suburb into downtown Seattle can be pretty sweet. The tracks, first laid in 1873, swerve between the scenic eastern edge of Puget Sound and the steep bluffs increasingly covered with houses overlooking the water.

“And this time of year,” said Steve Pratt, a regular rider, “the sunsets are great.”

When you can see the sun, that is.

As Pratt knows, this time of year it often rains — a lot.

And those pretty bluffs get wet — really wet. Eventually, all that water changes the alluvial soil from relatively stable to completely sodden. It also transforms Pratt and his fellow passengers. Instead of train riders, they become bus riders.

Sometimes those bluffs become so saturated that they collapse, sending earth, trees and more down onto the tracks.

That halts passenger train service and forces Pratt and his

fellow passengers to transfer to express buses, to once again endure (and mostly shrug off) a topographical drama less spectacular but far more common than the potentially deadly earthquakes, avalanches and tsunamis that loom in anxious minds across the Pacific Northwest: mudslides.

“It’s kind of a pain because you never know until you get over here whether it’s going to go or not,” Pratt said, standing near the train platform at the Everett station just after getting off the No. 510 bus on an evening when a slide had closed the tracks. “But it’s just part of living in Puget Sound.”

Mudslides are a threat from the Appalachians to the Andes, but a few parts of western Washington are particularly vulnerable. According to engineering studies, at one point or another over the past 80 years, pretty much the entire 20-mile stretch of track between Everett and Elliott Bay in Seattle has been covered by a mudslide — or a landslide, as they are technically (but not colloquially) called. And train

tracks are just one victim.

Danger above and below Last week, the day a slide closed the tracks, another one took out a house beside the water in Stanwood, north of Everett. The owner was in Mexico at the time and no one was hurt. But the slide demonstrated another peril: Sometimes houses most at risk are not on top of cliffs but at the bottom, steps from the water.

The sound is dotted with slivers of beachfront property where tiny private developments have sprung up over time, sometimes consisting of a single street with houses squeezed onto subdivided lots. Often there are only a few dozen feet of buildable land between the water and the massive slopes that descend to it. The land is precious, and sometimes precarious.

“More and more people live in places that would not have been regarded as good places to be before,” said Tim Walsh, the chief hazard geologist for the Washington Department of Natural Resources.

This month, as a second consecutive La Niña winter brings heavy rain, the department is trying out an online mapping tool that, using data from the National Weather Service, tries to gauge the rainfall saturation of certain areas of western Washington.

The software does not attempt to predict which hillsides will collapse — that would be a far more complicated and expensive prospect, involving ground sensors and telemetry — but the state hopes it can at least alert local emergency managers to potential risks.

High economic cost Walsh said that mudslides rarely get as much attention as other disaster threats, but that “excluding earthquakes in California, they probably are the largest or maybe secondlargest cause of natural disaster economic losses.”

He noted that damage from mudslides, including houses and buildings destroyed, rail lines and roadways damaged, is often categorized as flood damage by the Federal Emer-

gency Management Agency, even when there is no traditional flood. That can mask the true costs of mudslides.

“For most people, it’s not covered by insurance, and so when you get hit by one of these it’s a 100 percent loss,” Walsh said. “They’re potentially covered by flood insurance, but most people don’t have flood insurance.”

Last year, the Seattle-Everett route had nearly 100 slides, the most in at least 20 years, according to Gus Melonas,

a spokesman for Burlington Northern Santa Fe, which owns the tracks. No one was hurt, and this year the number of slides has been relatively small, at least so far.

Melonas said that of the 32,000 miles of track the railroad maintains in 28 states and two Canadian provinces, the Seattle-Everett route experiences by far the most slides.

“We all know that this is a rainforest area in which we live,” he said. “This just goes with the territory out here.”

HECETA HEAD — inter rain doesn’t fall on the Oregon Coast; it blows horizontally and with force. Spruce-shrouded headlands, emerald-green under the summer sun, disappear behind curtains of swirling mist.

Gulls cluster on beaches, their wings tucked tight to their bodies, their backs turned from the squall. Even hardy sea lions seek haven in deep caverns.

It was in seasons such as this, in the centuries before modern navigational systems, that the lighthouse keeper earned his pay. The beam that glared seaward from his Fresnel lens, sitting high atop the coastal stronghold, was no less than a beacon of survival for mariners. Accompanied by the tower’s haunting foghorn, the light warned of treacherous currents and jagged rocks unseen on stormy, moonless nights and on days when clouds bridged the gap between

Next week: Portland’s tribute to Mark Rothko the sea and the heavens.

Heceta Head was the most significant marine hazard between Newport and Winchester Bay. Charted in 1775 by Spanish explorer Don Bruno de Heceta, its isolated lighthouse was built between 1892 and 1894. It remained a remote outpost until the 1930s, when U.S. Highway 101 was extended down the length of the Oregon Coast.

Located about halfway between Florence and Yachats, the Heceta Head Lighthouse was fully automated in 1963. As the Oregon Parks and Recreation Department assumed management, modern technology replaced a kerosene lamp with a 1,000-watt bulb and brought the era of the true light keeper to an end. Parks and Rec is now engaged in a major face-lift of the scaffold-bedecked building.

The original keeper’s house was turned over to the U.S. Forest Service in 1963. After it was placed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1978, its government landlords began to think that it would make a dandy bed-and-breakfast inn.

Heceta Lighthouse Bed & Breakfast was born in 1995. Seventeen years later, it remains in the administrative hands of the same innkeeping family. When Mike and Carol Korgan retired from everyday responsibilities, they turned the B&B over to their daughter and son-in-law, Michelle and Steven Bursey, who continue to operate it today.

It’s a charming inn, its six guest rooms atop a narrow, circular wooden staircase offering bedside views of crashing surf, coastal forest or the nearby lighthouse.

A decadent seven-course breakfast is served each morning, and evenings inspire some guests to sit around a roaring fireplace and swap stories with new friends.

Many authors also teach writing. But not Brian Doyle.

“Teaching’s exhausting, I think. I don’t do that.

I have nothing to teach anybody. I’m not wise,” he says.

Perhaps that’s why Doyle, who’s known for Doyle his humor, plans to call his upcoming Jefferson County Reads writing workshop “A Not-Workshop with Brian Doyle During Which We Will Play with Starts and Seeds of Stories for Sheer Entertainment.”

The March 17 workshop is limited to 18 participants, but it’s just one of the offerings the Jefferson County Library has lined up for its annual community reading event, all of which surround Doyle’s novel, “Mink River” (see “If you go”).

While he doesn’t teach, Doyle does help writers as editor of the University of Portland’s Portland Magazine.

“Being an editor is fun.

Basically, it’s a storycatching job, right?” he says. “It’s story catching and story shaping,” he says. “And I do it for a university, which is a whole teeming village of ideas and creativity.”

Doyle’s written 12 books, among them essay collections, poetry collections and nonfiction, including “The Grail,” his account of his pursuit of the best pinot noir wine in the world.

“That was a fun project,” he says, chuckling.

His book about the human heart, “The Wet Engine,” will be reprinted this spring. Last fall saw the publication of his first collection of short stories, “Bin Laden’s Bald Spot.”

“Mink River,” published in October 2010 by Oregon State University Press, marked his debut as a novelist.

SUNDAY, MARCH 4, 2012 • THE BULLETIN

A & A

A year into her retirement, widow seeks new purpose Dear Abby: I am a 64-yearold healthy widow with no children. I retired a year ago after a successful 42-year career. I am financially sound.

I couldn’t wait to retire because my job was demanding, and toward the end it had become extremely stressful.

About two months into retirement — and after taking a few trips — I began feeling worthless and guilty for being nonproductive. I tried a part-time job, but it wasn’t my thing.

I’m now considering another part-time job, volunteering or returning to school. I have always wanted to further my education and get a graduate degree, but I don’t know if I’m too old to meet the demands.

I feel like I lost my identity when I stopped working.

I know it had to end one day, but I still have a lot of energy and want to engage in some activity that will revive my self-worth.

At this point, I don’t know what that will be. Your thoughts and guidance would be greatly appreciated. — Searching for “Me� in Texas Dear Searching: Not everyone ages at the same rate.

Some people wear out faster than others do. Today, for various reasons — not all of them financial — many seniors choose to remain in the business world. Their work ethic and experience are valuable assets.

If you think a graduate degree would be challenging and would help you in a new career, then by all means, go for it.

When people tell me they are thinking of retiring, I always ask, “And what will you be retiring TO?� because I am convinced that retiring to “nothing� is neither physically nor emotionally healthy for individuals who are used to being active.

Dear Abby: I bought my

DEAR A B B Y aunt, uncle and two teenage cousins gift cards from an online retailer a year and a half ago. I checked with them in advance to see if this might be something they’d use. Six months ago, I noticed in my order history that only one of the cards had been redeemed.

I hate to see the money go to waste.

Should I call my relatives?

If I do, what do I say? It’s possible they just haven’t gotten around to using the cards.

Should I reprint the cards and send them with a reminder note? (Maybe the cards were lost?) Should I send my relatives a check and use the cards myself? Chalk it up to a loss? That one kills me!

I suppose if I hadn’t seen the order history, I would never have known whether the cards had been used. What do you think I should do? — Conflicted in Connecticut Dear Conflicted: Use the direct approach. Contact your relatives and tell them that while reviewing your account history, you noticed that three of the four gift cards you sent have not been used.

Ask if they would like to have them printed out again, if by chance they were lost — or if they would prefer you send them a check for the value of the cards.

To contact them isn’t rude, and it shouldn’t be awkward.

In fact, it may be appreciated.

Dear Abby: My wife says I am always wrong. Is she right? — Tongue in My Cheek Dear Cheek: Not this time.

Even a stopped clock is right twice a day. — Write Dear Abby at www.DearAbby.com or P.O. Box 69440, Los Angeles, CA 90069.

Horoscope: Happy Birthday for Sunday, March 4, 2012

By Jacqueline Bigar This year you see moments of negativity, but understand that they will pass. Have confidence and trust yourself. Remain creative, open and willing to give 110 percent. You might be amazed by how well situations work out with the abovementioned recipe.

Curb a tendency to overindulge.

If you are single, it will be your choice to maintain that status. If you are attached, the two of you need to detach to get to the root of your issues before you can share.

Communication will excel as a result. LEO is proud but fun!

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) HHHH Use the daylight hours to make calls and catch up on news.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) HHHH You cannot get past the moment, as a roommate or partner might have said or done something that has caused a bit of disappointment. Take a deep breath and pursue a favorite pastime.

Get past an immediate problem.

Tonight: Let someone treat you.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) HHH Use the morning for whatever pleases you. Some of you might be into reading the Sunday paper; others just might like to sleep in. No matter what, extremes

earmark your day. Someone you would like to chat with is not in the mood. Tonight: All smiles. Enjoy the one you are with.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) HHHH Emphasize the positives in your life. Sometimes you push a little too hard, even when you are just socializing. You could be surprised by another person’s willingness to pitch in. Meet others early. Tonight: Think “tomorrow.�

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) HHH You cannot get around a certain responsibility, and maybe you don’t want to. Whether you are doing something with a child or parent, you feel centered and happy. Late afternoon, make plans or join friends. Tonight: Pretend it is Friday night.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) HHHH Make a call to a friend or relative you rarely speak to. You might be a little concerned by information that is left out. If need be, ask. Get together with an older friend or relative in the afternoon.

Tonight: Think “workweek.�

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) HHHH Others enjoy relating on a one-on-one level with you. You might wonder how to help another person open up. Perhaps you need to take the first step. Surround yourself with music this afternoon.

Tonight: Where your mind can wander the most.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) HHHH You might want to schedule some get-together time with a friend. Before you know it, you have so many invitations that you do not know which way to turn.

Socialize to your heart’s content.

The best solution might be to bring everyone together. Tonight: Include your favorite person.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) HHH Sleep in and do whatever you want. It also is OK to work out, jog to the gym or meet a friend for a long brunch. Do not do anything that you do not want to. Tonight: Be with a favorite person, or people.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) HHHHH You simply want to enjoy yourself or flirt with a friend.

Your imagination could create quite a party. Relax, yet be spontaneous.

Lighthouse

B&B guests enjoy a gourmet sevencourse breakfast on fine china each morning.

The meals require a full two hours to eat.

Continued from C1

The Lady in Gray But even as guests began to flock to the inn, strange things were happening.

Doors opened and closed of their own accord. Workmen’s tools went missing and were found in other rooms. In particular, an elderly woman in a long dress was seen vanishing through doors in a gray mist.

Historical research revealed that in the 1890s, the young daughter of an assistant lightkeeper had drowned in the estuary, where Cape Creek flows into the Pacific below the lighthouse, or in the ocean surf itself. The victim’s mother, whose name was Rue, never recovered from the tragedy. She blamed herself for the girl’s death and took her own life. Some say she continues to search for her daughter to this day.

Whether they call her Rue or the “Lady in Gray,” modern bed-and-breakfast guests have shared many stories about meetings with this benign spirit. Many of them have recorded their experiences in guest books placed in the common room for shared reading.

One recent guest commented on a January encounter in the inn’s kitchen. He and his girlfriend had just returned from a dinner in Yachats, he wrote, closing and locking the door behind them. As he waited for her to make a quick trip upstairs to their room, he was greeted by one of the inn’s resident cats. The feline walked to the door as if asking to be let out.

As the guest watched, the doorknob appeared to turn by itself. The door opened, allowing the cat to depart, then reclosed. Not surprisingly, he wrote, his girlfriend didn’t believe the story — until the same thing happened again, this time in front of them both, as the cat came back inside. “I had chicken skin for hours after that!” he confessed.

with heavy cream, and concluded with a slice of a fruit tart with powdered sugar. We also had blueberry toast and a peach frappe, along with a thick crab cake that preceded eggs en croute with grilled English bangers.

Heceta’s breakfasts have become so well-known, operators Carol Korgan and Michelle Bursey have published a 192-page “Lighthouse Breakfast Cookbook” featuring most of the elements of their eight rotating morning menus.

And Bursey is the executive chef of her own restaurant, Ona, in Yachats, 12 miles north up Highway 101.

Nightly except Tuesday, and for lunch on weekends, she serves a European-influenced menu that emphasizes seafood (I loved my stuffed Dover sole) but doesn’t exclude steak, chicken and pasta dishes.

Sea Lion Caves

A room at the inn Rue did not make an appearance when my traveling companion and I visited Heceta Head last week. Except for some curious latenight knocking from a wall adjacent to the Mariner’s Room, where we stayed — a wall beyond which there was no other bedroom, by the way — our stay was not disturbed by any ghostly specter.

Instead, we enjoyed a thoroughly delightful, if extremely damp, stay.

The seaward window of our room glanced south along the Devil’s Elbow, a small but treacherous promontory that frames Cape Creek Beach opposite Heceta Head. Through the mist, we could see large waves rolling off the tumultuous Pacific. Beside the beach, few cars were stopped in the usually busy parking area for Heceta Head State Park, discouraged, no doubt, by the inclement weather.

But everything was bright and sunny within the Mariner’s Room. A dwarf-sized sculpture of an ancient mariner stood waist-high beneath the windows. A colorful quilt covered the queen bed, with its carved headboard. Furnishings were simple, but we had our own bathroom and Internet access; and who needed a television, with this view?

The inn is the focus of a one-acre plot of grass and

garden, surrounded by a white picket fence. At its northeast corner, a gift shop and interpretive center stand at the foot of a quarter-mile uphill trail to the lighthouse.

The much-photographed lighthouse sits on the western flank of 1,000-foot-high Heceta Head, 205 feet above the ocean. The light that normally radiates from its 56foot tower, which can be seen 21 miles from land, is rated the strongest on the Oregon Coast. Christopher Reynolds of The Los Angeles Times told me recently that “the sight of that beam cutting through the mist” is one of the things that makes Heceta Head “one of my favorite lodgings on the whole West Coast.”

Through 2011, tours of the lighthouse — including a climb of the tower to its antique Fresnel lens — were

offered March to October and by appointment. For now, however, visitors must be content to view it from the outside, through a chainlink fence. Restoration work is scheduled to continue through the summer of 2013.

Lighthouse dining A long dining table, with room enough for 16 guests, dominates the main floor of the inn. Surrounding the table are antique sideboards and other furnishings, including a handsome upright piano and acoustic guitar that seem to call musicians to perform.

Two hand-crafted fireplaces, one of them in an adjacent parlor with the guest books and other reading material, provide warmth on chilly evenings.

Barely a mile south of Heceta Head, along U.S. Highway 101, are the world-famous Sea Lion Caves. “World-famous” is a grossly overused adjective, but here it is no exaggeration. The Sea Lion Caves comprise the planet’s largest network of marine grottoes, an interlocking system climaxed by a massive cavern — the height of a 12story building, the length of a football field — that is typically inhabited by 200 Steller sea lions.

In all the world, this is the only known location where sea lions make their homes on a continental mainland rather than on a rocky off-

shore island. Discovered in 1880 by a local seaman who purchased the land from the state seven years later, it remained family-owned for four decades — at a time when the state of Oregon paid a bounty for slaughtered sea lions — and was preserved in its natural state until new owners developed a public trail and stairway into the caves in 1932.

The 1961 completion of an elevator, dropping 200 feet, greatly increased the cavern’s accessibility for handicapped and elderly visitors.

Today, visitors to Sea Lion Caves pay their admission at a large gift shop, then take a short walk outdoors to the elevator.

New trend: With this ring, I thee weld

By Aimee Tjader

Tess Haun is under the watchful eye of Steven Vincent as she and fiance Jake Nyberg, back, create their own wedding rings at Vincent’s studio in Mineapolis on Feb. 4.

(Minneapolis) Star Tribune

MINNEAPOLIS — In the back of a historic Warehouse District loft, Tess Haun took a seat at a distressed wooden workbench, lowered an Optivisor over her eyes and fired up an oxy-propane welding torch. Her palladium wedding band took on an intense fiery glow. Nearby, Haun’s fiance, Jake Nyberg, ran a metal ingot through a rolling mill until he achieved a delicate ribbon of silver to insert into his wedding ring.

Couples like Haun and Nyberg are taking do-it-yourself weddings — and their commitment — to a new level by making their own rings in daylong workshops led by master goldsmiths.

“I was about to buy a massproduced ring, and I’m so glad I didn’t,” Nyberg said, holding up his ring to admire his work.

“This is so much more original and unique, and it’s awesome to say we’re wearing a work of art that we created.”

Haun and Nyberg signed up for “The Art of Love Workshop,” a new offering by longtime Minneapolis goldsmith Stephen Vincent. Other couples have similar opportunities nationwide, and the trend is growing.

Goldsmith Sam Abbay operates a one-man shop in New York’s Financial District and his “New York Wedding Ring” workshop has been filled since he began offering it four years ago.

“People want their rings to be important and emotional and individual,” Abbay said.

“Some people will make it important by spending a lot of money, but that’s obviously not the only way.”

Abbay recently tutored a Minneapolis woman, a selfproclaimed “avid do-it-yourselfer” whose boyfriend surprised her with a romantic proposal on a sunny December morning in Central Park.

He told her they’d be making her ring together the next day.

Kristen Olson, 28, and her fiance, Steve Scherping, 31, spent the next two days designing and creating Olson’s blue sapphire platinum ring.

Abbay walked the couple through each step of hammering, sawing, sanding, welding and polishing. Jewelry-making is a difficult but, thankfully, forgiving craft, Olson said, so their small mistakes were easy to fix with patience and a steady hand.

“It’s a one-of-a-kind ring with tiny imperfections that

only Steve or I would ever be able to notice, but they remind us of the wonderful weekend we spent making it together,” Olson said, adding that they are planning a return trip to New York to make their wedding bands.

The Wedding Ring Experience, which now has nine locations, including New York, Las Vegas, Chicago and headquarters in San Diego, held 340 workshops nationwide last year, up from 160 in 2007, said Lewis Barnes, owner of the Wedding Ring Experience in the United States.

And while the Experience has no plans to expand to Minnesota, in addition to the “Art of Love Workshop” in the Warehouse District, couples also can make their own rings at Metal Heart Jewelry in northeast Minneapolis.

Metalsmith and jeweler

Kirk Sklar has been teaching the occasional couple at Metal Heart to make their own wedding rings for five years.

Some couples sign up for his classes to etch their fingerprints on each other’s rings, a simple process that takes 30 minutes. Others want to set their own diamonds, a tedious task that can take several days to learn, whereas at other wedding ring workshops, the stone setting is left to the professionals.

“Every project really reflects the personality of the couple,” Sklar said. “It makes a very meaningful piece of jewelry ... far beyond what you could purchase in a jewelry case somewhere.”

Three rings Darren DeBerg worked at Metal Heart for about six weeks to make three rings: one for the woman he married, Claire DeBerg, one for himself and one for Claire’s 9-year-old daughter, which he presented to her during an adoption ceremony at the cou-

ple’s wedding.

“It’s quite a gift to receive something that is truly handmade,” Claire said. “My ring is quintessential Darren — thoughtful, creative and all wrapped into this poignant symbol of love.”

The cost of making your own rings varies with the amount of time needed to complete the process and with the choice of metal, a rapidly changing variable. Vincent’s “Art of Love Workshop” costs $850 for eight hours of workshop time, plus the cost of the rings, which currently range from $240 for a women’s stainless steel ring to $2,370 for a men’s platinum band. Sklar says a conservative set of 14-karat gold rings made at his workshop will cost about $600.

It’s in the details For Vincent, the special details that couples think about when creating their own rings are emblematic of his philosophies and working methods.

As a goldsmith trained in Italy, Germany and California, Vincent has created jewelry for 35 years. His storefront location in the Warehouse District is filled with his work (the upstairs doubles as his workshop and home).

Over the years, Vincent’s customers have asked to watch as their jewelry was being made, and he’s given tours of his workshop. He’s taught dozens of apprentices and has always wanted to open a jewelry-making school.

So when he was diagnosed with Stage 4 head and neck cancer a few years ago, he decided to close his store in Gaviidae, downsize and get back to his roots. Vincent celebrated one year cancer-free in December by launching the

“Art of Love Workshop.”

Just before Valentine’s Day, Vincent’s second clients, Haun and Nyberg, kept busy learning the tools of the trade in what can only be described as a Santa’s workshop of jewelry-making with wall-towall Old- and New-World equipment, soft music playing in the background and candles burning.

With an occasional visit from Charlie, Vincent’s three-legged Chinese crested hairless dog, and a break for a romantic lunch, the couple created one-of-akind rings to exchange on their wedding day: Haun’s simple palladium band on which Vincent will inlay 27 diamonds and Nyberg’s stainless steel band with a silver inlay.

“I didn’t know how to do anything delicate at the beginning of the day, and now I’m making a ring,” Nyberg said, towering over his workbench at 6 feet 4. The couple are already thinking about coming back to make anniversary rings. “I mean, with all the banging, bending and buffing,” he said while holding up his ring, “this definitely feels more permanent.”

Discovering fairytale villages in the Caucasus Mountains B y Tiffany Kary Bloomberg News

Among Europe’s highest peaks lies a region wedged between Chechnya and Dagestan that tourism has not yet discovered.

Horses run wild through fields of irises in Tusheti, Georgia. Stars have an intensity unknown to city eyes, and the jingle of a sheep bell competes only with the rush of distant streams. Damp stone homes and rounds of home-brewed brandy welcome you at trail’s end.

The one treacherous dirt road here is lined with old Soviet electric towers stripped of their copper wire decades ago.

Yet so desirable is this peaceful enclave of the Caucasus among the cognoscenti that a U.S. diplomat has a helicopter landing pad for his modest summer retreat.

Tusheti’s isolation makes it a wonder for the adventurous traveler. My husband and I took a two-week trip through Georgia last June that included a 700-year-old monastery, a vicious sheepdog and some surprisingly good wine. After our plans to hike the better-known Caucasus region of Svaneti were derailed, we tried Tusheti on the advice of some Israeli travelers. It turned out to be the highlight of the trip.

We first spent a few days exploring Tbilisi, Europe’s most eastern capital. Ornate wooden balconies of the old town are steps away from sleek wine shops. Designer stores include Ermenegildo Zegna. First Class Attire sells expensive remakes of traditional Georgian greatcoats, bullet pockets included.

Betsy’s, a boutique hotel with antique rugs, overlooks the city and made a comfortable home base, for around $175 a night.

Svaneti to Tusheti On our second day, bad weather stopped a planned flight to Svaneti, a mountainous region between Ossetia and Abkhazia whose slate towers and pristine peaks are the pride of Georgia. Luckily, two other travelers had also been thrown off plan, and we negotiated a $100, three-hour taxi drive for the four of us to Kazbegi’s 14th-century moun-

Doyle Continued from C1 “It’s an Oregon novel. It’s a novel soaked with Oregonness,” he explains.

“But you know, it turns out … people in Oregon are interested in it partly because it’s … a town. It’s about a town. I think that, interestingly, people who are not living on the coast, or people who are not in Oregon, are interested in the book because it’s about ‘townness’ as well; about how you’re kind of holding hands against the dark, you’re staying in the game, you pay attention to one another.”

Set in a fictional coastal town named Neawanaka, “Mink River” sets a number of characters in motion.

Among them, according to OSU Press, are “a 12-year-old boy who incurs a horrific bicycle accident and is rescued by a bear; the boy’s grandfather, Worried Man, who embarks on a dangerous mission to track down the source of

taintop monastery.

You’ll need at least one night’s stay to make the ninehour round-trip hike to the monastery and the glacier beyond. Our welcoming but dingy homestay was a bargain at $15 a night. The hostess, Nazi (pronounced “nassee”) Chkareuli, cooked incredible kasha, meatballs and frothy scrambled eggs.

Be forewarned: Huge sheepdogs are common throughout Georgia. We lost one of our new travel companions halfway to the mountain when a dog bit his leg and he had to fly to Germany for rabies shots.

Get immunized before you go.

After a short return to Tbilisi, we arranged a three-day trek through a local specialist, Wild Georgia. From the capital, it takes at least eight hours to reach Tusheti, with a nervejangling, five-hour finale over a glacial mountain pass.

The road into the mountains had just become passable that day, on June 15, and it’s not advisable to go before then. The pass was still washed away in places, and as we wound through 6-foot-high corridors of glacier, twisted wire crosses marked many roadside deaths along the hairpin switchbacks.

Tusheti’s Shenako village is a fairyland cluster of 20 slate homes in a valley so dense with buttercups that the yellow still stains my hiking boots.

The air is thick with butterflies, and there’s not a power line or Soviet relic in sight. The homes, made with jigsaw slate stones and scale-like roofs, all have hand-carved wooden balconies.

The downside is no electricity and sometimes no showers or indoor toilets. Our homestay hosts provided a true Georgian feast, including 10 rounds of toasts with homemade wine and side-splitting anecdotes about Dagestanis and cows, translated by our guide, Irma Tchvritidz.

Enjoying the Georgian way of life would have been impossible without Irma, a 28year-old medical student who speaks fluent English and grew up in Shenako. A local contact is invaluable when encountering a mysterious jumble of stones that women are forbid-

time; a philosophizing crow that speaks English; and a policeman who is addicted to opera.”

Library Journal compared its subject matter to that of Sherwood Anderson’s “Winesburg, Ohio.” And while at a glance you might expect coastal dwellers to be particularly interested, Boyle says it’s the small-town thing that draws in readers from all over.

“It seems to me that there’s a lot more interest in it because everybody lives in a town. I mean, nobody lives in the city of Portland. Everybody lives in a little corner. You live a little village inside the city.

“It clearly must be the same in Bend or Madras or anywhere else. You live in your little eightblock village,” he says.

Doyle says readers have told him, “ ‘Boy, it’s a hopeful book.’ ” “So much of modern literature is not. It’s neurotic and depressing and despairing,” he says. “In this book, a lot of tough things happen. It’s down

den to approach. It was a khati, or pre-Christian shrine, Irma explained.

The next day we set out early on an all-day hike through subalpine forests and tall, slim slate defensive towers said to be about 600 years old. You could easily spend five days in Tusheti, hiking or horseback riding among villages, and when we reached Dartlo, we wished we had planned a longer trip.

Our dinner included satsivi, a delicate chicken in walnut sauce, chased with rounds of a local brandy called chacha.

That, a solar-powered hot shower, beautiful mountain views and a comfortable bed would have made Dartlo the perfect base for other day hikes.

The birthplace of wine The next morning we made the five-hour descent from Tusheti and drove on to Tsinandali, in Georgia’s wine region, where we got our first earthy, mineral taste of the area’s wine aged in kvevri, or clay vessels.

The nearby reconstructed Chavchavadze estate of Georgia’s old royal family is a must-see. Its lavish drawing rooms and ancient sumak rugs show the mix of Western and Eastern influence in Georgia’s culture. A stylish wine bar and new luxury hotel by the Silk Road Group are a sign of things to come.

An hour and a half away, Sighnaghi is a recently rebuilt hub for the Kakheti region, which archeologists believe to be the birthplace of wine, first cultivated 8,000 years ago. Its comfortable Hotel Carpets House has rooms for only $57 a night, and a tasting at Pheasant’s Tears winery, around $8, included a delicious smooth, peppery Shavkapito. Red wines are often called black here, from the dark saperavi grape, and Sighnaghi, with its charming restaurants and handicrafts, may not be far behind Tuscan towns like Montalcino.

U.S. and European Union citizens and many others can stay in Georgia for as long as 360 days without a visa. Two disputed territories, Abkhazia and South Ossetia, are no-go zones, but Georgia is otherwise safe and easy to navigate.

on the coast, the old things are failing, the old economic models are failing, people are scratching for money.” But in “Mink River” people pull together and survive.

After having tackled a big book with big themes, Doyle has written another novel— a “thin novel.”

“I’m fascinated by novels,” he says. “I wanted to write a thin novel after writing a big novel, just to see what it would be like. You know, to kind of take one idea and take it out for a walk, rather than lots and lots of ideas.”

Just don’t tell him that thin novels are called “novellas,” as one friend did. “(That) sounds like a disease,” he says. “ ‘Oh, he has a case of ‘novella.’ ” Now he’s ready to tackle, alongside his editing duties, another big, sprawling novel.

“It’s not that I’m prolific; it’s just that I’m curious and I type fast,” Doyle says.

Outlaws outlast White Buffs in all-Central Oregon affair • Sisters earns a trip to the state quarterfinals with a 53-40 win over Madras

By Robert Husseman Germany’s Viktoria Rebensburg celebrates after winning an alpine ski women’s World Cup giant slalom Saturday.

Olympic champ wins giant slalom OFTERSCHWANG, Germany — Olympic champion Viktoria Rebensburg of Germany won her second straight World Cup giant slalom on Saturday, while overall leader Lindsey Vonn had a blazing final run to finish second.

Rebensburg’s consecutive wins in two days put her in a good position to retain her giant slalom title. Vonn was sixth after the first run but produced the fastest second heat to finish 0.26 seconds behind the German.

“This is only my third career giant slalom podium. I’m really proud of the way I skied the second run,” Vonn said.

Tina Maze of Slovenia finished third and trails Vonn in the overall by 494 points. A win is worth 100 points.

Vonn trailed Rebensburg 1.68 seconds after the first run in sunny, mild weather and a softening course. But the American came back to post her best giant slalom result this season after winning the opening race in October in Soelden, Austria.

“I had problems on the first run, I hit my goggles on a gate and could not see and struggled just to make it to the bottom,” Vonn said.

The second run was set by U.S. coach Roland Pfeifer and was about 10 seconds shorter than the first heat.

The Bulletin

SISTERS — The crowd at Saturday night’s Class 4A state playoff matchup between Sisters and Madras was reminiscent of college basketball: Loud, persistent, and wedged tightly into bleacher seats at Sisters High School.

After the Outlaws defeated the White Buffaloes, 53-40, the Sisters student section rushed the court at the final buzzer, in keeping with the spirit. The Outlaws had punched their ticket to the Class 4A boys basketball state tournament at Gill Coliseum in Corvallis, which begins Thursday.

John Erickson led all scorers with 18 points, and Eli Harrison added 13 points and six rebounds for the Outlaws. Sisters hit 15 of 17 free throws in the fourth quarter to ice the victory.

“The kids stayed steady and they handled adversity,” Sisters coach Rand Runco said. “We knew it was going to be a good game.”

Madras guards Bobby Ahern and Edward Zacarias were all the Outlaws could handle in the first quarter.

Ahern scored the White Buffaloes’ first eight points en route to a teamhigh 17, and Zacarias scored 10 of his 13 points in quick succession.

Madras held an 18-15 lead after eight minutes with the tempo on its side.

“We were playing at a pace that was better for them than us,” Runco said. “We tried to slow them down a little bit.”

The White Buffaloes stopped scoring in bunches, but Sisters’ shooting woes remained. Chase Goff scored all four of the Outlaws’ second-quarter points as Madras held a 24-19 lead at intermission.

In the Sisters locker room, Runco “ripped us,” according to senior guard John Erickson.

“He said we took too many threes,” said Erickson. “He said, if we want to win, we’ve got to get to the hoop and shoot foul shots.”

Cougars move on • Mountain View defeats Wilson 63-56 behind 34 points from senior James Reid

By Beau Eastes The Bulletin

James Reid scored a gamehigh 34 points and Blake Bosch nailed two late free throws as Mountain View held off a surprisingly pesky Wilson squad 63-56 Saturday night to advance to the Class 5A boys basketball state quarterfinals for the fifth time in six years.

The Cougars (20-5), a No. 1 seed in the 5A state playoffs, shot 55.2 percent on their home floor (16 of 29) and outrebounded the visiting Trojans 25-17. With his team clinging to a 59-56 lead with 11 seconds left in the game, Bosch hit a pair of free throws to seal the victory and set up a 5A quarterfinal contest against Milwaukie on Thursday at the University of Oregon’s Matthew Knight Arena.

“Getting to the state tournament is tough,” said Mountain View coach Craig Reid. “Unless you’ve played there or

coached there, I don’t think people realize just how difficult it is. I’m just so proud of these kids for carrying on the tradition (at Mountain View of going to state).”

With his team trailing 10-6 late in the first quarter, James Reid, Craig’s son, took over.

The younger Reid, a threeyear starter at point guard who has now guided three consecutive teams to the state tournament, scored 12 consecutive points to spark a 17-0 Mountain View run. Wilson (6-19) clawed its way back into the game after trailing by as many as 15 points — the Portland Interscholastic League team was down 57-56 with less a minute left in the fourth quarter. But Reid played well down the stretch, too, scoring 11 points in the final period.

The 6-foot-3-inch Reid went nine of 13 from the field Saturday, including five of eight from beyond the three-point line.

Bulletin staff report MILWAUKIE — Blitzed by Milwaukie’s 26-point second quarter, Bend High found itself in a hole too deep to escape.

The host Mustangs sank five three-point baskets in the second period to build a 41-20 halftime lead Saturday night en route to a 78-51 win over the turnover-plagued Lava Bears in a Class 5A boys basketball playoff game.

The loss ended the season for Bend (14-9), which was bidding to return to the 5A championship tournament, where last season the Lava Bears reached the semifinal round. Instead, Milwaukie (18-8) will advance to the eight-team state tourney, which gets under way Thursday at Matthew Knight Arena in Eugene.

Bounty: ‘Inmates governing themselves’

By Greg Bishop New York Times News Service

Mountain View’s Mitch Modin (13) goes up for a layup in the lane over a Wilson defender during the first half at Mountain View High School on Saturday in Bend.

Before each of his 187 National Football League games, Trevor Pryce said, informal, off-the-cuff offers of money to be paid for important plays circulated through the locker room.

“Five hundred for a puntreturn touchdown,” someone would say, and one teammate, or five, would jump to match the offer.

“Four hundred if you make a big hit on the kickoff,” someone else would shout.

To special-teams players, those at the bottom of the NFL pay scale, that money was significant, in some cases as much as or more than their weekly paycheck.

Maple Leafs beat Canadiens in coach’s debut The Associated Press MONTREAL — Mikhail Grabovski broke a long goal drought to give Randy Carlyle a victory in his first game behind Toronto’s bench.

After failing to score in 14 games, Grabovski had two goals in the third period to help the Maple Leafs beat the Montreal Canadiens 3-1 on Saturday night.

The Maple Leafs fired Ron Wilson on Friday night and hired Carlyle, the former Toronto defenseman who was fired by Anaheim in December.

“I was a little nervous, a little butterflies, but I didn’t make too many mistakes, I thought,” Carlyle said. “It’s different when you haven’t been behind a bench for three months and it’s a new team, but we got through it. The assistants did a great job.”

Matt Frattin also scored and Jonas

NHL ROUNDUP Gustavsson made 21 saves to help Toronto end a six-game winless streak and win for only the second time in 12 games.

Erik Cole scored for Montreal.

“We still have a chance to make the playoffs, we’re trying to get points,” Grabovski said.

MEN’S COLLEGE BASKETBALL

S B

Baseball • Beavers get past Saint Louis: Oregon State scored the go-ahead runs in the sixth inning when Tyler Smith’s fly to left field was lost in the sun for a two-run triple, and the Beavers defeated Saint Louis 6-5 Saturday at Surprise Stadium in Surprise, Ariz. Cole Baylis started on the mound for OSU and lasted just 15 pitches, including three walks. He was relieved by Taylor Starr, who gave up six hits and three runs over five innings and was credited with the win. Dylan Davis stroked three hits, including two doubles, for the Beavers. Tony Bryant, the fifth Oregon State pitcher of the game, allowed two runs in the ninth inning but was able to strand the potential tying run on second base to record his second save of the season.

The Beavers (7-4) play their final game of the Coca-Cola Classic today at 10 a.m. PST against Northern Illinois.

• Oregon beats Long Beach State in 13 innings: Pinch hitter Kyle Garlick singled to left field to drive home Vernell Warren as the Oregon baseball team took out Long Beach State 3-2 in 13 innings on Saturday night in Eugene. Warren finished the night hitting two for two. The two teams will complete their series today at noon at PK Park.

• Maybin, Padres agree to 5-year deal: Outfielder Cameron Maybin and the San Diego Padres have agreed to a $25 million, five-year contract. The 24year-old Maybin was acquired in November 2010 from the Marlins for two relief pitchers.

He was selected the team’s most valuable player in 2011 after he hit .264 with nine homers and 40 RBIs and stole 40 bases in a career-high 137 games. Maybin’s deal marks the first time the Padres have signed one of their own players to a long-term contract since December 2007, when they locked up Jake Peavy.

• Cespedes, Athletics complete $36M, 4-year deal: The Oakland Athletics and Cuban outfielder Yoenis Cespedes have finalized their $36 million, four-year deal. The A’s made the announcement Saturday. The 26-year-old Cespedes will be placed on the 40-man roster after the A’s moved third baseman Scott Sizemore to the 60-day disabled list with a tear in his left knee that will sideline him for the season. Cespedes played in Cuba’s top league for eight seasons before defecting in 2011.

He starred for Cuba in the 2009 World Baseball Classic, hitting .458 with two home runs and five RBIs in six games.

Boxing • Klitschko retains WBA-IBF heavyweight titles: Wladimir Klitschko stopped French challenger Jean-Marc Mormeck in the fourth round of a one-sided fight to retain the WBA and IBF heavyweight titles Saturday night in Duesseldorf, Germany. The Ukrainian put down Mormeck with a left-right combination, followed by a short left. Mormeck beat the count but looked wobbly and referee Luis Pabon stopped the fight. Klitschko floored Mormeck in the second and completely dominated the much smaller challenger.

Tennis • Federer edges Murray to win Dubai Championships: Roger Federer edged Andy Murray 7-5, 6-4 Saturday to win his fifth Dubai Championships title.

The second-seeded Federer, who didn’t drop a set all week, broke Murray to go up 6-5 and clinched the first set when the third-seeded Briton hit a forehand wide. The two players traded breaks early in the second set before Federer broke decisively to make it 5-4. Murray saved one match point before the Swiss star hit a forehand winner into the corner for the win.

• Isner falls to Anderson: Kevin Anderson took out Andy Roddick on Friday night, then bounced John Isner from the Delray Beach International Tennis Championships on Saturday night in Florida. Anderson beat Isner 7-5, 7-6 (4) and will face qualifier Marinko Matosevic of Australia in the final today.

• Ferrer defends title at Mexican Open: Top-seeded David Ferrer easily defended his title at the Mexican Open on Saturday in Acapulco, Mexico, beating fellow Spaniard Fernando Verdasco 6-1, 6-2 in the final.

The sixth-ranked Ferrer won his second title in as many weeks, following his victory last Sunday at the Copa Claro event in Buenos Aires. In the women’s event, Sara Errani defeated fellow Ital-

ian Flavia Pennetta 5-7, 7-6 (2), 6-0 to win her third WTA title.

Starks’ big second half paces Beavs

Gymnastics • Leyva, Wieber win American Cup: Reigning world champion Jordyn Wieber captured her third straight American Cup at Madison Square Garden on Saturday, finishing with a score of 61.032 to beat teammate Aly Raisman by two-tenths of a point in the first major prep for the London Games. Yet it was Gabrielle Douglas who stole the spotlight. Competing as an alternate, making her ineligible for the all-around title, Douglas outperformed her more celebrated teammates, putting up a combined score of 61.299 points, nearly two-tenths ahead of Wieber. American Danell Leyva roared back from a slow start to win the men’s event, surging from fourth to first in the final rotation with a thrilling high bar performance. Leyva finished with a score of 90.664, just ahead of Ukraine’s Mykola Kuksenkov.

Motor sports • IndyCar dismisses talk of Texas boycott: IndyCar CEO Randy Bernard said there has been no talk of a driver boycott at Texas Motor Speedway, and the series will race there as planned this season. A report two weeks ago indicated the drivers were discussing boycotting the race over concerns about the fencing at Texas. Twotime Indianapolis 500 winner Dan Wheldon was killed in an October crash when his head hit a post in the fence at Las Vegas Motor Speedway. The fence at Texas is constructed the same way as the fence at Las Vegas, with the posts inside the mesh wiring. Texas president Eddie Gossage said Speedway Motorsports Inc. engineers are confident that is the best construction.

Football • Saints put franchise tag on quarterback Brees: The New Orleans Saints have placed the franchise tag on Drew Brees — giving them exclusive negotiating rights with the Pro Bowl quarterback for the next year. Brees has been involved in lengthy contract talks with the Saints and, without the tag, could have negotiated with other teams as a free agent.

• Former Giants RB, coach Webster dies: Alex Webster, the star running back for the New York Giants who later coached the team for four years, has died.

He was 80. Webster died at a hospital in Florida on Saturday.

Webster played for New York from 1955-64 and was the head coach from 1969-1973. He is fifth on the franchise list with 4,638 yards rushing and also ran for 39 touchdowns. Team coowner John Mara calls Webster “one of the all-time great Giants,” and says he will be missed.

Winter sports • Kroell wins downhill for second straight World Cup victory: Klaus Kroell of Austria won a World Cup downhill Saturday for his second straight victory on the Olympic course in Kvitfjell, Norway, and the lead in the event standings. Kroell shared a superG victory with Beat Feuz of Switzerland on Friday, but was alone atop the podium after finishing in 1 minute, 45.76 seconds. Kjetil Jansrud of Norway was 0.02 seconds behind, followed by Aksel Lund Svindal of Norway, who trailed the winner by 0.48.

• Fredricks of U.S. wins speedskating World Cup 500: Tucker Fredricks of the United States won the 500 meters Saturday at the speedskating World Cup in Heerenveen, Netherlands, to stretch his lead at the top of the event standings. Fredricks finished in 35.71 seconds, shaving more than six-tenths of a second off the time that left him in 19th place in Friday’s 500. Michel Mulder of the Netherlands was second and Joji Kato of Japan was third.

• Vito, Hight win halfpipe snowboarding: Olympians Louie Vito and Elena Hight won halfpipe snowboarding events Saturday in Mammoth Mountain, Calif., in the final stop of the U.S. Snowboarding Grand Prix. Vito, of Sandy, Utah, posted a score of 98.20 to edge Greg Bretz (95.00) and win his second straight series title. Luke Mitrani was third with a 90.00.

Kaitlyn Farrington, of Sun Valley, Idaho, finished second (87.40) in the women’s event, but edged Hight (92.80) for the season crown.

Utah’s Blake Wilkinson (25) watches Oregon’s Carlos Emory dunk during the second half of Saturday’s game in Eugene. Oregon won 94-48.

Oregon hits 15 threes in 94-48 rout of Utah Th e Associated Press EUGENE — Oregon’s Ducks got their bye. Now they have their sights set on something bigger.

Behind 21 points from Devoe Joseph and a three-point barrage that didn’t end until Oregon had made 15, the Ducks ended their regular season with a 94-48 rout of visiting Utah Saturday.

Carlos Emory also scored a careerhigh 19 and E.J. Singler recorded 12 points and 10 rebounds for the Ducks (22-8, 13-5 Pac-12), who locked up third place in the conference and secured a bye in the first round of the Pac-12 tournament. It will be a week they hope will end with a berth in the NCAA tournament.

“We reached one of our goals in locking up third and not playing on Wednesday, so now we have to take care of what we can do in the tournament,” said Joseph, a Pac-12 player of the year candidate, who played in the NCAA tournament as a freshman at Minnesota in 2009.

“We definitely have the talent to do it and the motivation,” Joseph said.

“That’s the main thing. When you have that motivation and that desire, that you really want to make that run to get to the postseason, that takes over everything.”

Jason Washburn scored 26 to lead the Utes (6-24, 3-15), who went 0-12 on the road this season, concluding with their worst loss in school history.

This one got ugly for Utah quickly as the Ducks went up 34-2 in the first 13 minutes of the game.

Oregon was lights out from the field during that stretch, making 12 of its

PAC-12 ROUNDUP first 15 shots, including six for six from the three-point line.

“We were just making plays for each other and playing unselfishly,” said Oregon’s Garrett Sim, who had 13 points.

“It seemed like they were always leaving someone open and we were finding that guy. We did a great job of playing together.”

The Utes couldn’t have started much worse. They went one for 13 (.077) from the floor in the first 13:29 before Anthony Odunis made a jumper with 6:31 left in the first half to spark a short 10-6 run to make it 40-12.

But Oregon finished off the half with three-pointers on four straight possessions to take a 52-14 lead into halftime.

“We just played really well,” Oregon coach Dana Altman said. “It was a good game for us. We played well offensively, and I thought our activity defensively was pretty good. We couldn’t have shot it much better in that first half.”

In other games on Saturday: Washington State . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 43 USC. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 38 LOS ANGELES — Brock Motum scored 16 of his 27 points in the second half and Washington State withstood a late rally to beat Southern California.

UCLA . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 75 Washington. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 69 LOS ANGELES — Lazeric Jones scored 20 points, twice hitting goahead baskets in the final 8:39, and UCLA defeated Washington to prevent the Huskies from clinching the Pac-12 regular-season title outright.

The Associated Press CORVALLIS — Craig Robinson thinks his Oregon State Beavers are peaking at the right time.

“I couldn’t be happier right now,” the Beavers’ fourth-year coach said after his team clinched only its second winning season since Gary Payton was the point guard in the 1989-90 season with an 83-69 win over Colorado on Saturday. “I’ve been saying all year how much fun it is to coach these guys.”

Ahmad Starks had all 18 of his points during an electrifying second half performance to lead the Beavers in the final game of the regular season for both teams.

Roberto Nelson added 16 points and Jared Cunningham had 15 for the Beavers (17-13, 7-11 Pac-12). Oregon State will be seeded either eighth or ninth in the Pac-12 tournament and will face Washington State in the first game.

Askia Booker had 15 points and Andre Roberson added 14 points and nine rebounds for the Buffaloes, whose hopes for the fourth seed and corresponding first-round bye were dashed. The Buffs (19-11, 11-7) need one more win to achieve back-to-back 20win seasons for the first time in school history. Colorado has lost three of its past four, including 90-81 Thursday night to Oregon.

“We are playing right now like the world owes us something,” Colorado coach Tad Boyle said. “The world does not owe us anything.”

Starks, a 5-foot-9 sophomore point guard from Chicago, scored 11 straight points during a stretch early in the second half as the Beavers extended a one-point lead to more than 20.

Oregon State’s last winning season came in 2004-05, and before that in 1989-90, when Payton led them to the NCAA tournament.

The Beavers snapped a five-game losing streak on Thursday, cruising to a 77-67 win over Utah. Colorado won easily, 82-60, when the two teams met Feb. 2 in Boulder.

On Saturday, it was the Beavers who were dominant. Oregon State controlled much of the first half, leading by as many as eight points. Austin Dufault converted a layup and Booker knocked in a long three-pointer just before halftime to cut the lead to 30-27.

The Buffs scored the first basket of the half to cut the lead to one, but then the potent Beavers offense took over.

Oregon State’s Ahmad Starks shoots a layup as Colorado’s Spencer Dinwiddie defends in the second half of Saturday’s game in Corvallis.

North Carolina wins ACC regular-season title The Associated Press DURHAM, N.C. — Kendall Marshall felt dissed by Duke.

The Blue Devils played the highlights of their last-second win over North Carolina on the video scoreboard and Marshall didn’t like it, so he brought his Tar Heels into a quick huddle.

“I told my teammates I thought that was disrespectful, and we need to go out here and prove a point,” Marshall said.

Did they ever.

North Carolina never trailed in an 88-70 rout of No. 4 Duke on Saturday night, claiming the Atlantic Coast Conference regular-season title behind 20 points and 10 assists from its motivated point guard.

“It left a bad taste in our mouths,” Marshall said, “and we wanted to be able to come out and play well today.”

Tyler Zeller had 19 points and 10 rebounds, and Harrison Barnes added 16 points for the Tar Heels (27-4, 14-2).

For the second straight year, they rolled in a winner-takeall season finale with the ACC tournament’s top seed — and possibly one in the NCAA tournament, too — on the line.

North Carolina shot 54.5

TOP 25 ROUNDUP percent, built a 45-28 rebounding advantage and sent Duke to its deepest halftime deficit ever at Cameron Indoor Stadium — 24 points.

Also on Saturday: No. 2 Syracuse . . . . . . . . . . . . .58 No. 19 Louisville . . . . . . . . . . . .49 SYRACUSE, N.Y. — Brandon Triche scored 18 points, Kris Joseph added 11 in the final home game of his career, and Syracuse beat Louisville.

Illinois State. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .65 No. 15 Wichita State. . . . . . . . .64 ST. LOUIS — Tyler Brown scored 25 points, including two free throws with 6.4 seconds left, and Illinois State advanced to the final of the Missouri Valley Conference tournament.

Cougars Continued from D1 “We get to state so often, it’s just sort of expected,” said James Reid, who also recorded seven rebounds and four assists in the Cougars’ playoff victory. “But it’s not easy.”

Wilson senior Xzavier Thompson came off the bench to lead the Trojans with 23 points and three steals.

Thompson, one of the quickest guards Mountain View has faced all season, was electric in the second quarter, scoring 13 points to keep Wilson within 10 points of the Cougars, 38-28, at halftime.

The Trojans made things interesting in the second half with its half-court trap defense — the Cougars won in spite of 20 turnovers — but Mountain View hit eight of 10 free throws in the

“It’s a great feeling,” said Cougar wing Mitch Modin, who scored eight points and recorded a game-high four steals, about returning to Eugene. “It all came down to defense.”

Mountain View is back in the state tournament for the third consecutive season, but the Cougars roll into Matt Court looking to prove last year’s 0-2 finish at UO was an anomaly.

“Last year we were happy to be there,” James Reid said. “This year is all business. We’re going to Eugene expecting to win all three games.”

Outlaws Continued from D1 The Outlaws’ offensive aggression translated to a 34-16 secondhalf advantage and advanced foul trouble for the White Buffaloes. Sisters effectively kept Madras away from the offensive glass in the second half, allowing just two secondchance opportunities for the White Buffaloes.

Mountain View’s John Carroll (24) eyes the basket in the lane over Wilson defender Philip Blatt (10) at Mountain View High School on Saturday in Bend.

Bounties Continued from D1 Pryce once paid a Denver Broncos teammate $1,000 for forcing a fumble on a kickoff.

The system worked, Pryce said, so the players who made such plays also collected from their teammates.

He remembered some who carried a pencil and paper with them before games.

“It’s pretty much standard operating procedure,” said Pryce, who is now retired. “It made our special teams better. I know dudes who doubled their salary from it. Trust me, it happens in some form in any locker room. It’s like a democracy, the inmates governing themselves.”

On Friday, the NFL released the results of its investigation of the New Orleans Saints, who the league said from 2009 to 2011 used a bounty system, paying cash to players who injured opponents. This system was mainly financed by Saints players, which struck Pryce as normal, but it also included detailed record keep-

ing, which Pryce found strange, a level beyond what he understood as the common practice, because “that says the organization was in on it,” Pryce said.

In 14 NFL seasons, with three teams, Pryce said he never witnessed a teammate get paid to injure an opponent. Pryce said he never heard of any bounty systems, either, at least not one that he took seriously.

“It is said, yes, knock his helmet off, get an extra $10,000,” Pryce said. “Or $100,000 if a guy gets carted off the field. That stuff is all said in jest, in a tongue-in-cheek way. It’s like betting on the sun not coming up.

“It’s not like the Saints are playing against Holy Trinity College. They’re playing against other NFL players. I don’t think teams really mean it that way. Now, a big hit is different. Getting rewarded for a big hit, they do that in college. You get a sticker on your helmet.”

For 10 seasons with two teams, linebacker Bart Scott prided himself on playing physical defense. When Baltimore played Seattle, Scott said

Continued from D1 Junior Cody Connell led Bend with 15 points, all on three-pointers. The Lava Bears made eight three-pointers in the game — as did Milwaukie — but they made only 12 two-point goals and were just three of seven from the freethrow line.

Bend also committed 23 turnovers.

The Mustangs, champions of the Northwest Oregon Conference, were led by 6-foot-3 senior wing Kenyan Middleton, who made four three-pointers as part of his game-high 25 points.

Milwaukie also got 17 points

the scouting report reinforced that the Ravens needed to hit star running back Shaun Alexander, hit him hard, because the report said Alexander avoided contact. The New York Giants, Scott said, intended to hit New England Patriots quarterback Tom Brady in the Super Bowl.

Those intentions, Scott argued, are no different from the so-called bounties offered by the Saints.

“You can’t just read the words, you have to know the intent,” Scott said. “Knocking someone out doesn’t mean you’re doing something dirty.

It’s no different than when the Detroit Pistons played Michael Jordan and every time he went to the hole, they were physical with him. No one was literally trying to hurt him.

“To a certain extent, the league could investigate every team and find the same exact stuff.”

The NFL, Scott said, overreacted to the word “bounty.” He said the evidence, if the Saints had purposely injured their opponents, would be on film. If a defensive player wanted to hurt an offensive player, Scott said,

“Our shot selection was horrendous,” Madras coach Allen Hair said. “If you have nobody down there rebounding, you’d better make it count. We just took bad shots.”

Goff and Tim Hernandez added 10 points apiece for the Outlaws.

Six-foot-eight senior forward Bryan Boswell led Sisters with eight rebounds and three blocked shots.

The White Buffaloes finish their season with an 18-7 overall record,

including two losses to the Outlaws.

Madras was the Class 4A Tri-Valley Conference champion.

“It’s hard for me to keep a dry face,” Hair said. “Bobby, Ed (and the seniors) have been around for my entire career. I just feel for them.”

Sisters will play North Valley of Grants Pass on Thursday in the 4A state quarterfinal round.

apiece from Michone Hopkins and C.J. Hubbard.

“We knew they were gonna be athletic, and that they would probably sit in a zone (defense), which they did,” said Bend assistant coach Chris Scott. “They really took away the interior.”

Still, the Lava Bears made a third-quarter surge, outscoring the Mustangs 21-12 in the period to get within 12 points, 53-41.

But Milwaukie, which had won eight in a row and 14 of its previous 15 games, regained command in the fourth quarter. The Mustangs iced the victory from the foul line, converting 11 of 12 free throws in the final eight minutes.

Scott called Bend’s high turn-

over total “uncharacteristic.”

“We knew we had to take care of the ball,” he said. “We’d done a pretty good job of that all year.”

Like Milwaukie, Bend came into the playoff round with some momentum. The Bears’ only three losses since the end of December were to rival and Intermountain Conference champion Mountain View. And they had beaten Ashland 51-48 in a play-in game to reach the state postseason.

Milwaukie was the No. 4 seed and Bend No. 5 in their half of the 16-team playoff bracket.

Senior J.C. Grim scored 12 points for Bend, the only other Lava Bear to finish in double digits.

“it’s not hard to do.” But such malicious intention, Scott added, would be obvious, in a blow to the back of the head, or a dive at an opponent’s knees.

Scott is a defensive player, as was Pryce, which in part explains their vantage points on the issue. Scott made his early mark on special teams, where, he said, the Ravens’ veterans often collected pools of money, a few hundred dollars, a few thousand, to motivate younger players. Sometimes, Scott said, young players would use that money to buy shoes.

In 2006, as the Ravens prepared for the Saints, Scott and Reggie Bush got into a back-and-forth. Scott said then he would put some “hot sauce” on his next Bush tackle. When he did tackle Bush in the Ravens’ victory, Bush limped to the locker room and later accused Scott of taking a cheap shot.

“That wasn’t intentional,” Scott said now. “Bush was the most elusive player in the league. You’re just trying to tackle him, period.”

Other NFL players, on Twitter and in other forums, expressed similar thoughts. Some, like Pittsburgh Steelers safety Ryan Clark, suggested that whoever cooperated with the NFL investigation “should be ashamed.”

Pryce understood the outcry, even though he believed the Saints’ transgressions mattered less, ultimately, than the videotape scandal that engulfed the Patriots during the 2007 season. Because of the increased emphasis and awareness on player safety, Pryce said, the league had to “overreact.”

He said the NFL would make an example of the Saints, the way it made an example of the Patriots, who lost a first-round draft pick and paid $750,000 in fines for the so-called Spygate scandal.

Scott did not disagree, but added: “Nothing will change, man. They can get rid of every defensive coordinator, every defensive coach, in the league.

It’s still football. If you hit someone legally, and they can’t play as well, or at all, that’s what you want. That’s what being physical is all about.”

MAJOR LEAGUE BASEBALL COMMENTARY

Love scores 42 points as T’wolves roll past Blazers The Associated Press PORTLAND — While there was certainly some pride at play in the way Kevin Love attacked the team he grew up watching, more than anything he just wanted the Timberwolves to win one against the Portland Trail Blazers.

Love, who grew up just south of the Rose Garden in Lake Oswego, had a season-high 42 points along with 10 rebounds in Minnesota’s 122-110 victory over the Blazers on Saturday night. The victory snapped the Timberwolves’ 16-game losing streak to Portland.

“It’s my hometown team.

I’ve always been a big fan, so in some ways it means a lot,” he said. “But more than anything we wanted to stop that 16-game losing streak.”

The Timberwolves had not defeated the Blazers since a 9493 victory at home on March 25, 2007. They hadn’t won in Portland since Dec. 7, 2005, a string of 11 straight games.

Love was a sophomore in high school that year.

“We made it to the state championship that year and lost,” recalled Love, who finished Saturday night just one shy of his career-best 43 points scored at Denver on Dec. 18, 2010.

Former Blazers swingman Martell Webster added 21 points and eight rebounds for the Timberwolves (19-19), who led by as many as 16 points and snapped a two-game losing streak.

Gerald Wallace had 25 points and 14 rebounds for the Blazers (18-19), who have lost nine of their past 13 games.

Nicolas Batum finished with 29 points.

“You’re always concerned when you’re in the process of a three-game losing streak, you’re under .500 and you’re out of the playoff run,” Wallace said. “You can pick any one as a cause of concern.”

Blazers All-Star LaMarcus

Portland Trail Blazers forward LaMarcus Aldridge, left, posts up on Minnesota Timberwolves forward Kevin Love during the first quarter of Saturday night’s game in Portland.

Aldridge, who was averaging 22.1 points and 8.3 rebounds going into the game, was held to 14 points and seven boards before fouling out with just under five minutes left in the fourth quarter.

The Timberwolves jumped on Portland from the start, going up 20-12 on Love’s threepointer and extending it to 3117 on Webster’s three.

Portland climbed back in it in the second when Aldridge’s hook shot narrowed the margin to 40-36. The Blazers squeezed it to 47-46 after Wallace’s jam, then took the lead with Nicolas Batum’s three-pointer.

Portland held a narrow lead until Love’s three-pointer made it 61-60 at the half.

Love hit another three near the end of the third quarter to put Minnesota in front 81-73.

Both Aldridge and center Joel Przybilla, who was playing in his second game with the Blazers after signing with the team as a free agent last week, got into foul trouble.

Portland’s 9-2 run pulled the team within 84-82 to start the fourth quarter, then tied it on Elliot Williams’ dunk.

But it was short-lived, and Minnesota went up 99-86 on Derrick Williams’ basket and free throw with 7:41 left. The Blazers never posed much of a challenge the rest of the way.

The Blazers locker room was somber after the game.

“We should all be frustrated,” said Jamal Crawford,

I

’m the first to acknowledge that I am not a baseball purist, so I find it a bit comical when people argue against the latest act of expansion for the Major League Baseball playoffs on the basis that it somehow taints the sanctity of the game.

Major League Baseball and the players’ union agreed on Friday to expand its playoff system from eight to 10 teams. The new format adds one more wild card to the mix in each league.

Those teams that don’t win a division would be the Nos. 4 and 5 seeds and meet in a playoff while the three division winners would be awarded a first-round bye.

The wild-card round would be only one game for the right to advance to a fivegame series against a division winner.

I’m all for it.

I don’t see how adding another wild card for a onegame playoff diminishes the 162-game regular season any more than having playoffs already has.

If you want to protect the sanctity of the regular season, then go back to the way it was before the first playoff expansion in 1969.

Have a regular-season winner in the National and American leagues and let them go directly to the World Series.

But we love our playoffs, and as much as people like to complain about an expansion, I can’t think of one instance when the excitement would not be enhanced with the changes.

It’s hard to argue that each past playoff expansion has not been good for the game and good for more fans.

Critics always point out how certain memorable regular-season finishes would not have mattered if a new playoff system had been in place.

The hot example against this expansion is to say that last season’s final-day collapse of the Boston Red Sox and Atlanta Braves, coupled with the comebacks of the St. Louis Cardinals and Tampa Bay Rays, would not have mattered because those teams would have just moved to the new wild-card game.

That can’t be denied.

But something not pointed out: We don’t know what kind of end-of-season magic might happen in the race for the final spots of the new format.

History shows that after each of the previous two expansions, the overall excitement surrounding the game — particularly down the stretch — has increased.

Think back to all the complaints when MLB split the leagues into three divisions and added a wild-card team to the playoffs in 1995.

The arguments against

were basically the same as now.

None of them rang true.

The end of the regular season only got better as more teams stayed in the hunt for that additional playoff spot.

The very argument being used concerning the last day of the 2011 regular season would not have played out had there been no previous expansion.

The fact is that for every great moment in baseball that someone says would not have happened because of playoff expansion, I can find a moment that happened precisely because of that expansion.

The Phillies’ epic 1980 NLCS against the Houston Astros, when the final four games were decided in extra innings, never happens if baseball did not have its first playoff expansion.

The Phillies would have actually missed the playoffs in 1980 under the previous rules.

The classic 2004 American League Championship Series when the Boston Red Sox rallied from a 3-0 deficit to beat the New York Yankees would not have happened had Boston not made the playoffs as a wild card.

We don’t yet know what kind of memories will spring from a new playoff format placing increased importance on winning a division.

Imagine the increased pressure and intensity that will be created if two division rivals go into the last series of the season knowing that each game could mean the difference between getting a bye as the division winner or having to play a one-game crap-shoot as a wild card.

Some argue that a onegame playoff would not be fair because a wild card with a considerably worse record could advance because of one good day.

I respond, so what?

A wild card is intended only to be a second life. That in itself is reward enough for not getting the job done during the regular season and winning a division.

Wild-card teams should not be rewarded the same way as division winners to start the playoffs.

It’s really not fair to compare adding two more teams and two more games to the MLB playoffs to the watereddown playoffs of the NBA and NHL. More teams (16) make the playoffs than miss (14) in both of those leagues. So, yes, you will get teams with losing records that make the playoffs.

In baseball, we’re talking 10 out of 30 teams, with two ultimately being around for only one more game. It will be virtually impossible to have a .500 team make the playoffs.

And even if they do, the playoffs will still be exciting.

Patrick back in Phoenix after Daytona wrecks

McIlroy leads Honda Classic, eyes No. 1 world ranking

By John Marshall The Associated Press

AVONDALE, Ariz. — Danica Patrick was threefor-three at Daytona: three races, three wrecks.

Yeah, it was a tough trip, but at least she got something out of it.

“One of the biggest things I came away from Daytona with was learning how to crash,” she said.

It sounded like a joke, but Patrick was serious.

The former IndyCar star is still getting a feel for stock cars and part of that learning curve is learning what to do during a crash.

She got plenty of practice at Daytona.

It started with a hard crash late in the qualifying race for the Daytona 500, when Patrick spun and slammed into a wall. She was criticized after an in-car camera showed her let go of the steering wheel, but that settled down quickly after it became clear that’s how she was taught to react to an imminent wreck.

Patrick bounced back to become the first woman to earn the pole in a Nationwide race since Shawna Robinson in 1994. The excitement of that didn’t carry over to the race; she spun into the wall when JR Motorsports teammate Cole Whitt nudged her rear bumper. Patrick returned to the race and finished 38th.

Her first run at the Daytona 500 didn’t go any better.

After waiting nearly two days with the rest of the drivers for the weather to clear, Patrick was caught up in a big wreck on the second lap of the race after Elliott Sadler turned Jimmie Johnson. She returned to the track later in the race and finished 38th.

Disappointing? Sure it was, but Patrick’s first full season driving stock cars is going to be filled with lessons, not all of them easy.

“I think it’s important for me to sometimes get the other perspective where things don’t always go perfect,” Patrick said. “Those are the times you have the ability to learn the most and mature the most. That’s kind of what I take from Daytona.”

Back in her hometown, Patrick finished 21st in Saturday’s Nationwide race at Phoenix International Raceway and is not running in today’s Sprint Cup race.

Fennig’s second Jimmy Fennig had not been a crew chief for long when he helped Bobby Allison to his final win at the Daytona 500 in 1988.

Twenty-five years later, Fennig was back on Victory Lane at NASCAR’s biggest race, leading Roush Fenway’s Matt Kenseth to his second Daytona 500 victory.

Yep, after all the changes in NASCAR, the 59-year-old Fennig’s still got it.

“It think that’s amazing,” Kenseth said. “I think it’s harder to do for a crew chief

Sadler ends Nationwide winless drought AVONDALE, Ariz. — Elliott Sadler took the lead after a late caution and held on down the stretch to win his first Nationwide race in 14 years at Phoenix International Raceway on Saturday.

A former full-time driver in the Sprint Cup series, Sadler started eighth and didn’t get near the lead until the end of the race. He passed Brad Keselowski after a caution with 33 laps left and wasn’t really challenged on the way to his sixth career Nationwide win.

Keselowski finished second and defending series champion Ricky Stenhouse Jr. was third.

Kevin Harvick led the most laps, but finished fifth behind Austin Dillon after pit strategy at the last caution backfired.

— The Associated Press

than a driver to keep his performance at that level for that long. There are so many different rules and so much more technology that is introduced. The cars change, the setups change, the theories change, the aerodynamics change. Jimmy just adapts to the changes and still wins.”

Fennig has led Roush Fenway cars to 32 wins during his career and helped guide the team to its second Sprint Cup championship in 2004 as crew chief for Kurt Busch.

Not long after his second Daytona 500 win as a crew chief, Fennig was already looking to move on.

“We live with these race cars,” he said. “Bobby and Matt’s wins were both enjoyable. But the big thing is, you have to make sure you are prepared for the next race — every time. It’s nice to celebrate something like that, but you don’t have time for a lot of that in this business.”

Slick PIR Drivers were impressed by the grip at PIR during the fall race after the mile oval was reconfigured and repaved over the summer.

They’re not finding it so good the second go-round.

Numerous drivers bobbled through their practice and qualifying sessions, particularly around turns 1 and 2.

Ryan Newman had to go to a backup car after hitting the wall in practice on Friday before qualifying sixth on Saturday, and Mike Bliss also had trouble, blowing out a tire while trying to gather his loose car coming out of turn 4.

“Yesterday, the track had a lot of grip,” said Juan Pablo Montoya. “I really don’t understand why the track is so bad right now.”

By Doug Ferguson The Associated Press

PALM BEACH GARDENS, Fla. — Tiger Woods finished his round before the leaders made the turn Saturday in the Honda Classic, only this time, thousands of fans didn’t head for the parking lot.

They went looking for the kid who already looks the part as golf’s next star.

U.S. Open champion Rory McIlroy put on quite a show at PGA National.

From mangled rough right of the 11th fairway, he measured up a 7-iron from 181 yards and figured it was worth the risk to take on the water in front of the green. The ball cleared the hazard by no more than a yard, and McIlroy seized on the moment by holing a 50-foot birdie from the back of the fringe.

Two par saves were equally important on the back nine, and a birdie from the front bunker on the par-5 18th gave him a 4-under 66, matching the low round of a windy afternoon and giving him a twoshot lead.

That left the 22-year-old from Northern Ireland one round away from becoming the second-youngest player behind Woods to reach No. 1 in the world. He would have to win the Honda Classic to replace Luke Donald atop the ranking.

“I definitely feel like I need to put it out of my mind tomorrow,” McIlroy said.

“I need to focus on just trying to win this golf tournament. It might be a little difficult.”

McIlroy was in a similar spot last week when he reached the final of the Match Play Championship, knowing a win would make him No. 1. Only this time, there is more than Hunter Mahan in his way.

McIlroy, at 11-under 199, had a twoshot lead over 22-year-old rookie Harris English (66) and 43-year-old Tom Gillis (69). Seven players were within five shots of the lead, a group that includes PGA champion Keegan Bradley and Masters champion Charl Schwartzel.

The difference from last week?

“I wasn’t standing up 2 up on the first tee in the final,” McIlroy said, smiling.

He also realizes that it’s important not to take a match-play mentality into stroke play, especially with an early start because of approaching storms, with birdies

and bogeys around every corner.

Even so, McIlroy is getting accustomed to the pressure, and the scrutiny. Thousands of fans lining every fairway and surrounding every green were cheering him on, and one fan even asked him on the 17th tee what kind of shampoo he uses on those curly brown locks.

“When you get yourself into positions in tournaments like his, it’s not just the golf you have to deal with,” McIlroy said.

“It’s everything else that goes on outside that. That’s something I feel like I’m a lot more comfortable with. I feel like a better player all around.”

Woods finally made a few putts, but not nearly enough to keep pace with everyone else. He went the last 11 holes without a birdie and had to settle for a 69, leaving him nine shots behind.

“I was close to putting a low one up there today,” Woods said. “I felt like it could be had, I could make a run and post 5-under par for the day or something like that and get myself within reach. Right now, Rory is playing some great golf.”

English, who won on the Nationwide Tour last year while still an amateur, made a 10-foot par save on the 17th and finished with a 66. He will be in the final group, a rare occasion when McIlroy will be playing with someone his own age with a tournament on the line.

They will be joined by Gillis, a journeyman who turned pro a year after McIlroy and English were born. Gillis had the lead to himself on the back nine until a bogey on the par-3 15th. He had a 69.

“It’s nice to have the lead going into tomorrow,” he said. “I have to try to focus on what I’ve been trying to do all week, which is hit fairways and hit greens and stay in the present, and not think about everything that could happen.

“I’ve just got to go out there and try to put a good number on the board.”

Bradley had a 68 and was in the group at 7-under 203 with Brian Harman (69) and Justin Rose (71). Schwartzel wasted a good start with a double bogey on the 11th hole, but still had a 67 and was five shots behind.

Growing MIT conference looks at stats in sports

By Jimmy Golen The Associated Press

BOSTON — The baseball box score should be completely retooled. Postseason experience has no value in the NBA playoffs. And sports leagues should give the No. 1 draft pick to the team that wins the most — after it’s mathematically eliminated.

These are some of the theories thrown around this weekend at a Boston convention center, where self-proclaimed stat geeks have come to the MIT Sloan Sports Analytics Conference with ideas to change the games — and the numbers to back them up. What started as a fringe on-campus gathering has grown into a convention with some of the biggest names, and biggest ideas, in sports.

The discussions in a spacious and packed ballroom covered new ways to evaluate players and teams in all major sports, with appearances from Dallas Mavericks owner Mark Cuban, comedian Drew Carey, who owns the Seattle Sounders of Major League Soccer, and the godfather of sports statistics: Bill James.

Changing box scores?

In a discussion called “Box Score Rebooted,” James argued for a new format that would include more advanced metrics than the outdated and overvalued batting average and pitching wins. Since baseball itself is unlikely to change a format that’s remained largely the same for more than a century, he called upon the statisticians in the room to come up with a better one.

“If we create an alternative scoring system on a more rational basis and we publish the data, within a couple of years there’s going to be a time when the Cy Young winner is different,” he said.

John Thorn, an official historian for Major League Baseball, acknowledged the sport is slow to change, but he noted the game-winning RBI was adopted — and then abandoned — so it can be done.

“Introducing a new statistic rocks our world in an unpleasant way,” he said.

The statistical revolution in sports began in many ways with James’ self-published and mimeographed newsletter and hit the mainstream with Michael Lewis’ book “Moneyball,” which was made into an Oscar-nominated movie starring Brad Pitt. The conference began in 2007 with a one-day affair attracting 175 people to MIT’s campus and has grown to two days and 2,200 people in a downtown Boston convention center.

At the conference Among them are about 700 students from 170 institutions, many of them looking for facetime with the general managers and team stats gurus who stock panels like “Baseball Analytics” (as well as football, hockey, basketball, soccer, ticketing, coaching and fantasy sports analytics). Also attending were representatives from 73 professional teams in all four major sports and soccer, both in the U.S. and England, including co-chairs Daryl Morey, the general manager of the Houston Rockets, and Jessica Gelman, a vice president of the Kraft Sports Group, which owns the New England Patriots.

Toronto Maple Leafs general manager Brian Burke played the contrarian, dismissing the Moneyball trend on Friday by saying, “Stats are like a lamppost to a drunk: useful for support but not illumination.”

“Have a parade, get a ring, and then write a book,” he said, noting that the Oakland Athletics, on whom “Moneyball” was based, have won just one playoff series since 1990. “Nobody has ever won a championship with Moneyball. I can prove a player is a statistical twin of a player who is twice the player he is, because of the other things that he brings.”

But elsewhere in the convention hall, graduate students and other statistical experts crunched their numbers and gave presentations they hoped would change the way sports works.

Other fixes One researcher argued that there are 13 positions in bas-

ketball, not five — everything from ball-handler to paintprotector — and provided graphics that showed the NBA champion Dallas Mavericks had most of them covered (and the last-place Minnesota Timberwolves were riddled with redundancies).

Another argued that the PGA Tour shouldn’t promote any golfers from Q-school; several attacked the inefficiencies in ticket pricing; concussion expert Chris Nowinski argued for a hit count on young football and soccer players to mirror the pitch count that limits how much little league pitchers can throw.

Two presenters examined the costs and benefits of teams “tanking” to get a better draft pick. Adam Gold, a Missouri grad student, argued teams should be ranked for draft order based on how they perform after they’re eliminated.

This would encourage them to give their best effort at the end of the season, providing fans

with the honest competition they paid for and maintaining the integrity of the playoff race. (It could also, detractors noted, lead some teams to just begin tanking earlier.)

“We should never have to consider that a loss can be more beneficial than a win,” he said.

Carey, “The Price is Right” host and Sounders co-owner, sat in on the “Franchises in Transition” panel and said he does everything he can to make hit team fan-friendly — even allowing the fans to vote on whether the general manager should be fired. The approach has helped — the Sounders have set an attendance record in each of their three seasons in MLS — but his team benefited from a little bit of luck.

“The guy that owned the basketball team moved to Oklahoma City. That helped us a lot,” he said. “It was like meeting a hot girl that had an abusive boyfriend.”

JOHN COSTA

Read about Ike

A

s a presidential election nears, there is a book you should read.

It’s “Eisenhower, In War and Peace,”

by Jean Edward Smith.

If you are sickened by American politics today, this book by the author of biographies of John Marshall, FDR and Ulysses Grant describes a different time.

It is not going to change our political climate.

What it will do is remind you that there were great issues at hand in the 1950s and that a president largely made good decisions, though he made mistakes as well. Along the way, he secured the support of the Democratic leadership — House Speaker Sam Rayburn and Senate Majority Leader Lyndon Johnson — when he opposed the communist witch hunting and isolationist elements of his own Republican Party.

Can you imagine that happening today?

It’s part of our contemporary conceit to believe that we are facing uniquely difficult problems, that the political parties are captives of their radical wings, that money is the language that talks, and that the media has a destructive impact on the body politic.

Looking back at the 1950s, the decade of Eisenhower’s presidency, it is tempting to recall a languorous period of peace and prosperity where the major challenge was keeping track of which elderly white man was in which Cabinet post or judgeship.

That’s a pretty self-serving view.

After World War II, Eisenhower became president of Columbia, putting that great university on a firm financial footing and defending academic and speech freedom against those who opposed having communist speakers on the campus.

Clearly, Eisenhower assumed the presidency with enormous goodwill.

He led the Allies to victory over the Nazis in Western Europe and moved into the White House with the enormous advantage of an already secure larger-than-life legacy.

He defied the Cold War Pentagon, which argued for massive support, including nuclear weapons, for the French in Vietnam, the South Koreans against the North Koreans and Chinese, and the Nationalist Chinese against the Communist Chinese.

He sized the military to a reduced but sustainable base, ended the Korean War and opened discussions with the Soviet Union over weapons reductions.

He sided with a Muslim country in the Mideast — Egypt — and against three historic allies — Great Britain, France and Israel — during the Suez crisis. Domestically, he launched the interstate highway system and supported the St. Lawrence Seaway at the same time that he balanced the budget.

His administration increased the minimum wage — in inflation-adjusted dollars it is actually lower today — and added investments in health care and education.

As most history readers know, he appointed fellow Republicans and civil rights advocates Earl Warren as chief justice and William Brennan as associate justice of the Supreme Court, and filled district and appellate courts in the South with like-minded judges.

After the Warren Court unanimously rejected the separate but equal treatment of blacks, he sent the 101st Airborne to Little Rock, Ark., to protect black children going to newly integrated schools.

Eisenhower also had his downsides.

He allowed the CIA to destabilize governments, including Iran’s, for which the author believes we are still paying a price for.

No question he aided the downfall of red-baiting Joe McCarthy, but one of his great regrets was that, during his first campaign for the White House, he didn’t fully and forcefully defend his wartime boss, Army Chief of Staff George C. Marshall, a target of McCarthy.

When he left the White House in 1960, he had virtually the same stratospheric favorability ratings he enjoyed for most of his eight years in office.

One political writer, Smith writes, said there was only one thing in the country more popular than Ike. Baseball.

It is refreshing to know that was once possible, and not so long ago.

broken justice

• Former Harvard professor gives a scathing review of the U.S. justice system in book

By Leon Neyfakh • The Boston Globe

T

he book was written in a hurry. It had to be, because William Stuntz was dying, and the story he wanted to tell was long and complicated. It would be the Harvard Law School professor’s final major work, a sweeping indictment of the system he had been studying for 25 years.

Stuntz was 49 when he found out he had stage four colon cancer. For the remaining three years of his life, he worked on the book whenever he could: in his office at Harvard; at his family’s home in Belmont; even at the Massachusetts General Hospital Cancer Center, where he would sit with his laptop in the infusion chair and type. Stuntz passed up pain medication so he could think more clearly. In the final days, after he entered hospice care, he had his assistant mail him a draft of his manuscript so he could go over any last minute changes.

What drove Stuntz to finish the book — even as he continued teaching classes and trying to spend as much time as he could with his wife and three children

— was a belief that something had gone fundamentally awry in America. Stuntz, an evangelical Christian and an avowed conservative, wanted people to grasp the profundity of the crisis he had observed — how, over the past 50 years, our criminal justice system had been transformed into an unfair, amoral bureaucracy — one that had given up on the very idea of justice.

Stuntz submitted his completed manuscript to his editor at Harvard University Press in January 2011, about three months before he died at age 52. “The Collapse of American Criminal Justice” was published the following fall. In it, Stuntz describes how America’s incarceration rate came to be the highest in the industrial world; how the country’s young black males came to bear the brunt of its increasingly harsh penal code; and how jury trials became so rare that more than 95 percent of people sent to prison never had their guilt or innocence deliberated in court.

E Uphold standards at school dances

The Bulletin

ance style and attire at school dances are issues that seem never to go away.

The most recent discussion was prompted by par-

ents and a student who brought their concerns to the Bend-La Pine School Board in early February.

Photos posted on Facebook had left them shocked at the scanty attire of some students attending Mountain View High School’s South Seas dance. They also raised questions about freak dancing, or grinding, and how rules against them are being enforced.

Not well enough, according to those who find the atmosphere and behavior at the dances disturbing.

Too well, according to those who say attendance has fallen because of too firm enforcement of rules.

The issue is not limited to South Seas or to Mountain View. La Pine Principal Jay Mathisen told The Bulletin that dancing became far more sexually suggestive sometime in the last five years, requiring staff and chaperones to walk the dance floor to control it. Administrators struggle to find the right balance that preserves the tradition of school dances in the face of behavior that some find inappropriate.

At South Seas, a beach-themed dance, scanty clothing is blamed for encouraging troubling behavior. According to student Jade Markum, who spoke to the school board, the way students dress may affect the way they behave.

She told The Bulletin: “When you dress inappropriately you al-

Whatever the fate of South Seas (at Mountain View High School), we think many taxpayers would be disturbed by the photos brought to the school board. Students, parents and taxpayers should be able to expect a higher standard at school events. most have it in your mind to act inappropriately.�

In late February, the group returned to tell the school board of its satisfaction with the response of Mountain View Principal Katie Legacy, who is consulting students, parents and staff to explore the future of South Seas. She told The Bulletin that criticism from opposite sides of the argument has “made me wonder if this dance has run its course.�

Whatever the fate of South Seas, we think many taxpayers would be disturbed by the photos brought to the school board.

Students, parents and taxpayers should be able to expect a higher standard at school events.

Kyle Thompson paid a high price in war

K

yle Thompson, of La Pine, has done something most of us never will. He’s earned the Bronze Star, a medal awarded to a member of the U.S. military who “distinguishes himself/herself on or after 7 December 1941 by heroic or meritorious achievement or service, not involving participation in aerial flight.�

Moreover, Thompson’s medal was given for valor during two firefights in Afghanistan.

In both cases Thompson was on patrol. One time he and his group met five enemy fighters and both sides began firing. In what the citation with his medal calls “withering� enemy fire, Thompson led the patrol on a low crawl to safety for just under the length of an NFL football field, end zones included. That was in July of 2010.

Then, in late October that same year, and while on patrol, Thompson and his group were ambushed. Again Thompson worked to get his group to safety, this time by holding the enemy at bay while the Americans got away.

Meanwhile, Thompson was

wounded twice in Afghanistan and was awarded two Purple Hearts as a result. The first came when his vehicle hit an IED, an improvised explosive device.

The second ended his fighting career. Only four days after the Oct. 21 incident for which he was awarded the Bronze Star, Thompson was again caught in an IED explosion. One man lost his legs and an arm, while Thompson lost an eye and several teeth and broke his jaw.

Thompson, who is back in the U.S., received his Bronze Star last week. He is still recovering from his wounds and faces several surgeries in the months ahead. After he receives a medical discharge, he hopes to attend Central Oregon Community College.

Thompson fought in a war that, while not particularly popular, has raised none of the animosity the Vietnam conflict caused 40 years ago. That’s good. He is a young man who went to war on principle and who paid a darned high price as a result.

He earned his honors; he’s also earned the respect of his hometown community.

My Nickel’s Worth Lock up your medicines I am part of an all-volunteer nonprofit organization that gives drug prevention talks in our local middle and high schools. The Meth Action Coalition isn’t just about meth — we talk about alcohol, cigarettes and all drugs of abuse.

While most young people have never heard of Lipitor, Prozac, Atenolol or Celebrex, I continually am amazed that nearly every child, in every classroom, raises his or her hand when I ask, “Who knows what Oxycontin is?� What they don’t know, however, and what we attempt to teach them, is that Oxycontin is the closest to thing to heroin one can find in a bottle. And heroin, my fellow citizens, is all over the streets of Bend. People are overdosing on it in numbers that have yet to be published specific to Central Oregon.

Parents: Lock up your medicines.

Maybe your children aren’t interested, but their friends may be. It’s all about pills these days, and experimentation, even by a “good� kid, can lead one down a life-altering, if not deadly, path.

A different Congress I recently listened to the Republican debate in Arizona. They really can scare one. The only one who isn’t ready to start another war if he gets in is Ron Paul; in fact, he makes the most sense.

They all give us these great stories of what they are going to do for us if they get to be president. Well, let me tell you, if they get a Congress like the one our present president has they won’t be able to keep any of those promises. This Congress

blocks everything President Obama puts forth, even programs they themselves were in favor of before the last election — just because no matter who it hurts, they wanted to make him a one-term president.

I must say, I do blame the Democrats for the fiasco of that body if they didn’t get out to vote midterm to give him a Congress he could work with. I am 90 years old and one of the most important times of my life is when I can go out and vote. I have never missed a national election. If our president had gotten a Congress that would have worked with him, we would be out of the hole and halfway up the mountain by now.

So this time, fellow Dems, let’s put our President Obama back in office and give him a Congress he can work with.

‘Trickle-down austerity’ It is both laughable and pathetic how easily The Bulletin promotes growth for growth’s sake, not truly considering the long-term effect of Facebook and Apple’s moves into Prineville. But to be fair, it is not just the local municipalities and press in Oregon who so easily jump on the business-at-any-cost bandwagon.

The Bulletin’s recent front-page article about an Ohio department store moving because a town just 5 miles away offered them a free building, free land, and free taxes — all taxpayer money — is just reminiscent of what is happening all over the country. Under the guise of incentives, townships sell their financial souls to corporations (Wal-Mart, Intel, Nike) who could very well pay their fair share to invest in their towns and cities.

You espouse a 15-year tax exemp-

tion as some great triumph yet, for more than 50 blue collar jobs, Crook County is the big loser and Facebook/ Apple the huge winners. In Portland, where Intel writes legislation on its behalf for tax breaks in the hundreds of millions of dollars, we see the constant budget struggles for social services because government allows corporations to bleed the people dry.

The press says nothing because of its pro-business stance and advertising dollars, and the people go along for the ride, not challenging their local and state legislators.

Wake up, people! This is not economic development; it is trickledown austerity, making places like Prineville financial hostages. This is shock economics playing itself out around the world.

Pipeline decision baffling The cost of gas is predicted to reach $5 per gallon this summer. The Middle East continues to be unstable. The unemployment rate remains high as families are struggling to meet their day-to-day expenses. So, I do not understand the rationale behind President Obama’s decision to reject the Keystone Pipeline project.

Besides bringing 830,000 barrels of crude oil from Canada to points in Oklahoma and Texas, it would have produced 20,000 direct jobs and 100,000 indirect jobs. The route was carefully planned to avoid crossing a sensitive aquifer. So what is the problem? Obama chose to reject the pipeline proposal, as he said that he needed more time to study it. The application has been with the State Department since 2008! I am truly baffled by his decision.

Standing up in concern for the U.S. and the direction it’s going

By William L. Logan am a 70-year-old Vietnam-era U.S. Army retired veteran. I don’t normally write letters to the editor, but I would like to express my opinion about the direction this nation seems to be headed.

As a young lad in IN MY school, we learned arithmetic, science, English and penmanship. Those basics led America to land on the moon and place robotic rovers on Mars. Most old people of my generation remember what it is like to use an outhouse in the middle of the winter, telephone party lines, 11-cent a gallon gasoline, a five-cent Babe Ruth bar, milk delivery and iceboxes.

We won World War II and fought in Korea and Vietnam. My generation can quote the Pledge of Alle-

I

giance, recite “The Star Spangled Banner,� stand and remove our hat, cover our heart when the U.S. flag marches by in a parade. We wore the uniform of the United States military with pride and lost many friends.

We can often be seen with tears in our eyes as the national VIEW anthem is played. We didn’t fight for the United Socialist States of America. We fought for American freedom. We veterans have lived what most have only read in history books and we will never apologize to anyone for our heroic actions.

We took oaths to defend the Constitution of the United States against all enemies, foreign and domestic. There is no expiration of that oath, and I will continue to defend this nation until I die. There are liberal progres-

sives who want to destroy this nation in the name of “social justice.� They won’t rest until this nation becomes a socialist state. If our founding fathers could see the slow deterioration of this country, they would be turning in their graves. President Obama is in way over his head in many areas, especially foreign policy.

On Feb. 13, 2012, according to Reuters, Obama proposed $800 million in aid for Arab Spring nations while maintaining military aid of $1.3 billion to Egypt, despite Egypt targeting American democracy activists.

Has Obama lost his ever-loving mind? Trudy Rubin, a columnist for the Philadelphia Inquirer wrote an op-ed in The Bulletin (Feb. 13) stating, “How far the United States, and democracy, have fallen in Egypt.�

Rubin goes on to say, “What’s as-

tonishing is that Egypt’s generals seem unconcerned about provoking Washington, even though Egypt’s economy is in the tank and it needs U.S. support to get international loans. The $1.3 billion in aid looks like the only leverage that Washington still retains in Cairo.�

Mr. Obama, I just returned from Dakar, Senegal; Guinea-Bissau; Banjul, Gambia; and Freetown, Sierra Leone in West Africa. People in those countries are in dire need of aid.

Those countries have no running water, no sanitation facilities, no pollution controls, very little electricity, no infrastructure to support transportation, and the airports, seaports and rail lines are literally crumbling.

If you want to help people in need, direct those funds where they are

needed using nonprofit organizations. Not to Islamic dictators in the Arab Spring countries who will ultimately pocket the money while thumbing their nose at us.

With such examples of foreign policy, clearly Obama is in over his head. One must wonder where his religious ideology is coming from. Is he a Christian and supports people in dire need, as he maintains, or is he a Muslim supporting the Muslim Brotherhood with our tax dollars?

When you vote this November, please think. Can we afford another four years of Cloward and Piven and Sal Alinski socialist economics? In 2008, you voted for President Obama to prove that you weren’t racist. This year, please vote for someone else to prove you’re not stupid. — William L. Logan lives in Bend.

History is always repeating itself T

he European Union and the United Nations, as well as globalization and advanced technology, were all supposed to trump age-old cultural, geographical and national differences and bring people together.

But for all the high-tech veneer of the 21st century, the world still looks a lot like it did during the last hundred years and well before that.

After the Greek financial meltdown and the emergence of German financial dominance, Europe once more obsesses over the so-called German problem. Should Europeans admire the industry of the German people, or fear that such competency and drive — as in 1870, 1914 and 1939 — will eventually translate into German political and military supremacy? The division of Germany, the common Soviet threat, the NATO alliance, the European Union and German war guilt for the last half-century all repressed German singularity.

But the first two realities have disappeared. The latter three soon might. Once again, no one quite knows how to deal with German exceptionalism. Apparently, the borders and the currency of Germany change, but the unrivaled work ethic and productivity of the German people do not.

Examine the violence of the world today more than a decade after 9/11.

VICTOR DAVIS HANSON Much of it is still in the Middle East in general, and concerns Islam in particular. The protests of the Arab Spring may well turn into the repression of the Arab Autumn. Syria is aflame. Bombs go off almost daily in Afghanistan, Iraq and Pakistan.

Rockets are poised in Gaza and Lebanon. Iran either threatens to get a bomb or to use it once they get it.

Fascism, communism, Baathism, Pan-Arabism, Pan-Islamism and various dictators come and go. But the tribal nature of the Middle East and the unease of Islam with other religions, with a modernizing world and with a rival West somehow seem to remain the same — whether at Lepanto in the 16th century or at the Strait of Hormuz in the 21st century.

There are autocrats in Russia again. From the czars to the Soviet communists to Vladimir Putin’s cronies, there is something about constitutional government or liberal rule that bothers Mother Russia. The more that progressive outsiders seek to lecture or reform Russians, the more likely they are to bristle and push back with left-wing or rightwing nationalist strongmen. At pres-

ent, we do not know whether there will be a Czar Vladimir, Comrade Putin or Putin Inc. in charge, but we fear it does not matter much.

For centuries, Christianity often fought Islam in the mountainous, war-torn crossroads of the Balkans.

And from the assassination of Archduke Ferdinand to the ethnic cleansing campaign of Slobodan Milosevic, the Balkans remain Europe’s powder keg. Now with rioting and unrest in Athens, a financial earthquake that started in tiny Balkan Greece is shaking up some 500 million people in the European Union.

America is not exempt from such stereotyping. Every so often Americans reluctantly get involved abroad, grandly seek to remake the world in our image, become frustrated that we cannot, then start to disengage and disarm, retreat home and promise to stay there — before starting the cycle over.

After World War I, World War II, Korea, Vietnam and, more recently, our wars in the Middle East, we said “never again” — only to lecture others and, in schizophrenic fashion, intervene once more. At times, Woodrow Wilson, Franklin Roosevelt, Lyndon Johnson and George W. Bush all thought they could make the world safe for democracy. Calvin Coolidge, Jimmy Carter and Barack Obama assumed we had neither the money nor the virtue to try.

New cure-all ideologies and organizations likewise have come and gone. Fascism, communism, socialism and the Keynesian redistributive state all promised a sort of new, better man. But mostly they ended up bringing neither peace nor prosperity.

In response to all this depressing predictability, technocratic elites still dream up international solutions.

The League of Nations was a noble idea that proved to be an irrelevant hothouse. No one still believes the pretentious United Nations is much more than a collective debating society. The non-democratic European Union is going the way of the past megalomaniac and failed dreams of Charlemagne, Napoleon and Hitler of one united European continent, one system, one ideology.

What, then, are we left with? Only the humility that human nature does not change much.

That unpleasant fact means that about all we can do is to keep muddling through, stay vigilant, and hope for the best while preparing for the worst. For all the problems of national pride, democracy, free markets, alliances and military preparedness, the alternatives seem far worse.

An out-of-it guy confronts in-with-it style

By Kevin Horrigan St. Louis Post-Dispatch

S

o I woke up Monday morning feeling pretty fashion-forward.

I’d made my quadrennial trip to the mall on Sunday to buy shirts.

On Monday I put on a new shirt and fairly new shoes. There were no holes in the socks or khakis.

I had it going on.

Then I saw Page 1 of the Monday New York Times, and I realized I had blown it — I hadn’t bought any accessories. Stephanie Clifford reported: “The male models walking the runway at New York Fashion Week shows this month wore, among other adornments, scarves that could double as blankets; belts, pocket squares and fur neckwear; caps and handbags; feather necklaces; and metal cuffs.”

Now I don’t regard a belt as an accessory, nor even a cap and a wool scarf on a cold day. But fur neckwear? Handbags? Metal cuffs?

When you’re not being arrested?

This was a bitter reminder of how far out of it I’ve always been.

Be honest: I’m not alone. I don’t work in an industry in which guys are noted for their fashion sense.

But even outside of the newspaper, I don’t see many guys wearing fur neckwear or carrying a handbag. It could be argued that I don’t go to the right places, but I don’t even know where the right places are.

But somebody is buying this stuff.

Spending on men’s apparel and accessories is booming, Clifford reported, with sales up 8 percent last

year. Spending on accessories was up 14 percent in the second half of 2011 to about $6 billion.

Six. Billion.

Dollars.

On accessories.

“To get traditional women’s accessories to appeal to men, some designers are giving them manly names and styles,” Clifford writes.

“That’s not really a bracelet; it’s wristwear. And that’s not a purse, nor the dreaded murse (man purse), but a holdall.

“It doesn’t look like you borrowed it from your girlfriend,” Nicolas Travis, 24, a business school student who runs the blog Style Flavors, said of the manned-up styles he prefers. “A little bit more bling, and you run the risk of it looking a bit more feminine.”

Memo to cops: Next time you arrest a guy, slap the wristwear on him.

I checked out Travis’ blog. He writes, “We are allergic to bull — , and that speaks for itself.”

Yes, it certainly does. So does, “We try hard at Style Flavors to be kick-ass and in-the-know” and “Rock on.”

He writes that he recently lost his passport, and replacing it was a pain, so he’s recommending the gray leather Damir Doma men’s Buzko Passport Holder. How this will keep you from losing your passport he does not say, but perhaps losing it again won’t bother you as much because you’ve also lost a $229.39 passport holder.

The passport holder will pair up nicely with the Dries Van Noten

Valerio Mezzanotti / New York Times News Service

A male model shows off a scarf, one of many new fashion accessories for men, including handbags, feather necklaces and metal cuffs.

Hand Painted Leather Wallet. Travis writes that it has a “natural rustic vibe.” It costs $249.82. I like that it’s not $249 or $249.99, but a more rustic $249.82.

Here’s what I don’t understand because I’m such a fashion rube: You’re going to stick your passport and your wallet in a pocket (or purse). What do you care what they look like?

Apparently wristwear is huge.

“Bracelets are really hot right now,” a fashion trend guy told Clifford. But the bracelets have to look manly.

For example, a company called

Miansai makes a “retro-inspired” model out of “military-grade woven cord (sourced from an American company that supplies the U.S. Coast Guard)” that looks like you’ve wrapped a piece of squiggly phone cord around your wrist. It costs $105, but the J.Crew website is sold out.

Here’s the part of the description I like best: “This bracelet adds a rugged utilitarian touch to whatever else you’re wearing.”

Sure, it’s completely useless, but it adds a “rugged utilitarian touch.”

From a company called Diesel, you can get leather cuffs studded with metal. “It’s leather; it’s hardware; it’s a military aesthetic,” the firm’s marketing director told Clifford.

Here’s an idea: Put on this bracelet, fly to Afghanistan, find a Marine humping a pack and ask him how he likes your military aesthetic.

Clifford reports that the accessories trend originated in Italy and Japan “where men throw on silky scarves or pile on bracelets and berets with nonchalance.”

Guys see this on fashion blogs, or they see TV shows like “Boardwalk Empire,” where “the cool characters dress with panache,” and they latch on to the styles as a way to be “edgy” and “on the fringe.”

Well, sure. Your edgy, fringe-y guys spend a lot of time watching TV. And who wouldn’t want to look like Steve Buscemi, the star of “Boardwalk Empire”? My own look is modeled on Steve Buscemi in “Fargo.”

Welfare reform in the 1990s really did work

By Peter H. Schuck and Ron Haskins For The Los Angeles Times

T

he primary election campaign has intensified a justified concern about inequality in America: People at the top are rising much faster than everyone else. Even lowincome Americans consider relatively high levels of inequality acceptable if they have a decent opportunity to improve their condition. But because they may work fewer hours and at stagnant wages, their gains are very limited.

Among the poor, surprisingly, never-married mothers have gained the most in recent decades. Their story shows the best way to reduce poverty and inequality: by encouraging individuals to work more and by supplementing their earnings with tax credits, child-care subsidies and other benefits for low-income working parents.

Until the mid-1990s, never-married mothers seldom worked outside the home, had poverty rates of over 60 percent and were at least five times more likely than marriedcouple families to be poor. Then in 1996, congressional Republicans and President Bill Clinton collaborated on a welfare reform law requiring adults on welfare, including

never-married mothers, to work.

When Clinton signed the law, many of his strongest political supporters reviled him for entering into “a pact with the devil.” They predicted that poor women and their children deprived of welfare would die in the streets. Any employment gains, they insisted, would vanish in the first economic downturn.

The data refute these dire predictions. In fact, according to Census Bureau data, between 1996 and 2000, the percentage of never-married mothers in jobs increased by about a third (to 66 percent), while the poverty rate for these mothers and their children declined by about a third (to 40 percent). For the poorest of the poor, this large an improvement based on their own efforts was unprecedented. Since then, two recessions have reduced these gains somewhat; their employment rate is down to 58.7 percent (still better than for women generally) and their poverty rate is up to 49.3 percent.

Yet even in the worst recession since the Depression, more are employed and they are less poor than they were before the 1996 law.

The reasons for this policy success are clear, suggesting some lessons for the future. The 1996 law created

strong incentives, both positive and negative, for the most uneducated, untrained and unpromising welfare recipients to join the workforce. As shown by their high employment rates, poor mothers responded to these incentives even more resourcefully than most policymakers had expected despite their often chaotic domestic circumstances. The federal law meshed well with many experimental state and local welfare-towork programs, helping states pay for job search and readiness, health insurance, child care and other vital work support services.

Most politicians did not cave in to the intentionally inflammatory “dying in the streets” rhetoric; instead, they figured that the program could hardly be worse than the status quo of welfare dependency and that many of the poorest of the poor would end up better off.

Both Congress and the states resisted the temptation to cut and run once the recipients’ situations improved; the governments largely maintained their efforts over time, mindful of how fragile these gains could be. Knowing the failures of many earlier welfare-to-work programs designed to reduce welfare dependency, government tried

something new and stuck with it.

Even today, virtually every state still runs a strong welfare-to-work program, in part because the programs are relatively inexpensive.

The gains from the 1996 welfare reform and other work-related subsidies are certainly no cause for smugness. Even after 15 years, the law’s incentives have not yet lifted all mothers and their children out of poverty — not by a long shot. After all, many who have benefited from the program are stuck in low-wage jobs, and others still don’t work at all. Many are so disabled that no program or personal desire to work will enable them to hold decently paying jobs.

Entrenched, multi-generational poverty is arguably America’s greatest domestic enemy today. Our first priority should be figuring out how to reduce it permanently by increasing work and human capital among the poor. Welfare reform shows what is possible. This is not only just; it is also the only enduring way to reduce poverty and inequality.

There be dragons I

n medieval times, areas known to be dangerous or uncharted were often labeled on maps with the warning: “Beware, here be dragons.” That is surely how mapmakers would be labeling the whole Middle East today.

After the onset of the Arab awakenings, it was reasonable to be, at worst, agnostic and, at best, hopeful about the prospect of these countries making the difficult transition from autocracy to democracy. But recently, looking honestly at the region, one has to conclude that the prospects for stable transitions to democracy anytime soon are dimming. It is too early to give up hope, but it is not too early to start worrying.

Lord knows it is not because of the bravery of the Arab youth, and many ordinary citizens, who set off these awakenings, in search of dignity, justice and freedom. No, it is because the staying power and mendacity of the entrenched old guards and old ideas in these countries is much deeper than most people realize, and the frailty or absence of democratic institutions, traditions and examples much greater.

“There is a saying that inside every fat man is a thin man dying to get out,” notes Michael Mandelbaum, the foreign policy expert at Johns Hopkins School of Advanced International Studies. “We also tend to believe that inside every autocracy is a democracy dying to get out, but that might not be true in the Middle East.”

It was true in Eastern Europe in 1989, added Mandelbaum, but there are two big differences between Eastern Europe and the Middle East.

Many Eastern European countries had a recent liberal past to fall back on — after the artificially imposed Soviet communism was removed. And Eastern Europe also had a compelling model and magnet for free-market democracy right next door: the European Union. Most of the Arab-Muslim world has neither, so when the iron lid of autocracy comes off they fall back, not on liberalism, but Islamism, sectarianism, tribalism or military rule.

To be sure, we have to remember how long it took America to build its own liberal political order and what freaks that has made us today. Almost four years ago, we elected a black man, whose name was Barack, whose grandfather was a Muslim, to lead us out of our worst economic crisis in a century. We’re now considering replacing him with a Mormon, and it all seems totally normal. But that normality took more than 200 years and a civil war to develop.

The Arabs and Afghans are in their first decade. You see in Syria how quickly the regime turned the democracy push there into a sectarian war.

As Peter Harling and Sarah Birke, experts on the Middle East who have been in Syria, wrote in a recent essay: “Rather than reform, the regime’s default setting has been to push society to the brink. As soon as protests started … state media showed staged footage of arms being found in a mosque in Daraa, the southern city where protests first broke out, and warned that a sit-in in Homs … was an attempt to erect a mini-caliphate. This manipulation of Syrians meant the regime was confident that the threat of civil war would force citizens and outside players alike to agree on preserving the existing power structure as the only bulwark against collapse.”

You see the same kind of manipulation of emotions in Afghanistan.

U.S. troops accidentally burned some Qurans, and President Barack Obama apologized. Afghans nevertheless went on a weeklong rampage, killing innocent Americans in response — and no Afghan leader, even our allies, dared to stand up and say: “Wait, this is wrong. Every week in Pakistan, Afghanistan and Iraq, Muslim suicide bombers kill other Muslims — holy people created in the image of God — and there’s barely a peep. Yet the accidental burning of holy books

by Americans sparks outbursts and killings. What does our reaction say about us?” They need to have that conversation.

The Arab/Muslim awakening phase is over. Now we are deep into the counter-revolutionary phase, as the dead hands of the past try to strangle the future. I am ready to consider any ideas of how we in the West can help the forces of democracy and decency win.

But, ultimately, this is their fight. They have to own it, and I just hope it doesn’t end with extremists going all the way and the moderates just going away.

The boyhood home of Ernest Hemingway in Oak Park, Ill., is on the market for $525,000.

Hemingway’s boyhood home is on the market

By Ted Gregory Chicago Tribune

CHICAGO — In the world of legacies, Oak Park, Ill., has a couple of biggies.

The brilliant, scandalous architect Frank Lloyd Wright spent the first 20 years of his career there, leaving the western suburb with the world’s largest collection of buildings he designed.

Then there’s the brilliant, scandalous writer Ernest Hemingway, who was born in Oak Park and spent nearly his first 20 years there, writing his earliest pieces, gaining an appreciation for nature and dreaming of worldly adventures.

Frank Lloyd Wright’s home and studio is a popular tourist attraction that draws 80,000 visitors a year.

Hemingway’s boyhood home is essentially a three-flat that officially was put up for sale last week after an effort to convert it into “an international community center” unraveled.

That development may be nothing more than another example of an anemic economy, or it may shed light on precisely where the literary giant and Nobel Prize winner stacks up, at least locally, against Wright, who some say shifted the course of 20th-century architecture.

“It was a great plan,” said John Berry, chairman of the Ernest Hemingway Foundation of Oak Park, which owns the slate-blue, three-story stucco home. “But it was a bad market for raising money.”

Changing hands Designed in part by Hemingway’s mother, Grace, the 4,200-square-foot home has been something of a living monument since at least 1974, when the Historical Society of Oak Park and River Forest placed a plaque in the front yard. The last Hemingway to live in the home, Grace, vacated it in 1936, eight years after her husband committed suicide in their second-floor bedroom.

The next owners carved it into three apartments, and that’s the way it stayed. In 2001 the Hemingway Foundation borrowed $420,000 and, aided by a $100,000 gift from the village of Oak Park, bought the home for $520,000, Berry said.

Eight years later, the foundation and Dominican University in River Forest agreed on a $1.5 million plan to transform it into “a unique and dynamic cultural center to educate citizens of the world for the 21st century,” according to a plan developed by Dominican.

That vision included rebuilding the home’s original first-floor “music room,” removed years ago, and using it for displays, performances, “salons and conversations.”

The second and third floors were to serve as “a residential retreat for scholars and artists.”

The agreement between the university and foundation, signed July 1, 2009, called for

Dominican to lease and maintain the property for two years while fundraising grew. If all went well, the university would buy the home and continue working with the Hemingway Foundation on its use.

But the plan, undertaken in the middle of the worst economic downturn since the Great Depression, failed to gain momentum.

“We had a lot of great conversations,” said Amy McCormack, Dominican senior vice president of finance and administration. “We certainly had a good team, (and) we had a lot of interest in the concept.”

Funding the concept, however, was another story. Hemingway’s descendants offered no financial support, Berry said.

After getting a state grant that helped pay for a new roof, the fundraising group decided against appealing to Illinois for financial support.

The economic climate dashed their dreams. So when the loan came due in the summer, the foundation persuaded bankers to grant an extension for a few months, then officially placed the home for sale at an asking price of $525,000.

Since then, traffic has been brisk, said Steve Scheuring, listing agent for the home.

“We live with this Hemingway thing all the time,” added Scheuring, a fourth-generation Oak Park resident. “And, so far the Hemingway thing is very nice.”

But, Scheuring added, the handful of prospective buyers he has shown the house to “weren’t interested in buying it for the Hemingway thing. I think they’re interested in buying it for the square footage and they’re interested in buying it because it’s a really cool house.”

History can be cruel, but so can the real estate market. The Hemingway house, where he lived from age 7 to 17, would appear to be a bargain even with the depressed real estate market, which raises another question: How do you determine the value of the place where one of America’s most influential writer penned his first stories?

Wright and Hemingway Also lurking in the background is the intangible reality that, at least in Oak Park, Hemingway’s reputation stands in the shadow of the famous architect, who left his unmistakable imprint on the streets.

Rachel Weaver, co-owner of The Book Table in the village’s downtown, said Hemingway’s Oak Park roots are often overshadowed by Wright’s visual presence.

“Certainly Frank Lloyd Wright is a bigger tourist draw,” Weaver said. “Visually, his presence permeates Oak Park more than Hemingway.

When you have so many great Frank Lloyd Wright homes to go and see, it’s the more obvious attraction.”

The local Hemingway foundation, however, has restored the writer’s Oak Park birthplace, which is open to the public. The foundation also runs the Ernest Hemingway Museum, an intriguing mix of Hemingway artifacts and related memorabilia, a few blocks from the birthplace Berry said the architect’s and the writer’s legacies both “draw well, but built environments tend to draw bigger crowds than the written word that must be read and absorbed. For architects, the buildings are the work, they are visible and tactile; it’s different for writers.

It’s not about the building. It’s about the writing.”

Some of the writing Hemingway composed in the house likely was done in an area on the third-floor that faces south, Hemingway’s room until he graduated from high school and left for a reporting job at the Kansas City Star.

Hemingway’s persona certainly fueled his popularity and probably explains why Kathy Fitzgerald, who lived on the first floor of the Hemingway home from 1977 until November 2010, recalled “lots of interesting people would stop by” over the years.

“Giant tour buses” were an occasional sight, she said, as were individuals — many from other countries — who simply wanted to walk inside the place.

“The Wright Choice” Sales • Service Family Owned Since 1967

You don’t have to be Italian to appreciate Tom Santopietro’s “The Godfather Effect,” but it sure doesn’t hurt.

Especially since Santopietro’s hybrid of memoir and Hollywood history is all about la famiglia — both the reallife Italian clan he grew up with in his hometown of Waterbury, Conn., and the Corleones, novelist Mario Puzo’s fictional mob family that loved one another to death in “The Godfather.”

Santopietro, whose previous works include “Considering Doris Day” and “Sinatra in Hollywood,” here explores how the Oscar-winning film “The Godfather,” which turns 40 this year, and its two sequels not only revolutionized the Hollywood portrayal of Italians but also helped him understand and gain an appreciation of his own Italian heritage.

Not that Santopietro was raised in an atmosphere even remotely close to that of Michael Corleone. Santopietro’s mother, Nancy Edge Parker, who was of English descent, and his physician father, Olindo Oreste Santopietro, were among the Waterbury country club set. Santopietro was educated in private schools but learned little about his Italian heritage, despite having grandparents who came to America from Southern Italy. It wasn’t until seeing the first 10 minutes of “The Godfather Part II” (1974), Santopietro writes, and seeing young Vito Corleone arriving at Ellis Island, that he finally made a connection to the similar journey his grandparents made roughly 70 years earlier.

Unlike previous Hollywood incarnations of Italian mobsters — such as 1932’s “Scarface” starring Jewish actor Paul Muni — “The Godfather,” Santopietro explains, struck a chord because it was the first film about Italian mobsters made by Italians.

Amid the violence, Sicil-

ian culture also takes center stage, from the lavish wedding that opens “The Godfather” to the scene where Clemenza teaches Michael how to make sauce. Even signature phrases (“I’m gonna make him an offer he can’t refuse”; “Leave the gun. Take the cannoli”) have become part of American vernacular.

Santopietro also unreels the behind-the-scenes drama on the “Godfather” films, starting with the rift between director Francis Ford Coppola and Paramount execs over casting Marlon Brando as Don Vito Corleone (the studio insisted on a screen test). Burt Lancaster, Anthony Quinn, even Danny Thomas sought the role, but Brando got it, helped in no small part by stuffing tissues into his mouth to nail Corleone’s speech pattern.

Frank Sinatra also makes an appearance in the book. He was not enamored of Johnny Fontane, the thinly disguised version of the singer that appears in Puzo’s book and in the film. When Sinatra met the author, he threatened to tear his head off. While such anecdotes are slickly told, it’s too bad Santopietro didn’t add fresh insights from Coppola or others who worked on the film rather than relying on previously published material.

In the end, it’s the personal moments, such as Santopietro taking his aging dad to revisit the field where he played baseball as a child, that are most rewarding. The films make up the shell of “The Godfather Effect,” but it’s the connections with family that give it a center as sweet as cannoli cream.

‘ENEMIES: A HISTORY OF THE FBI’

Book offers a harsh indictment of federal agency “Enemies: A History of the FBI”

by Tim Weiner (Random House, $30)

Each week, the FBI sends reporters an email of “top ten news stories” that it hopes will hit the headlines. The press releases usually highlight crooks nabbed, terrorism plots foiled and convictions notched up by the straight-shooting, gang-busting agents from the world’s most famous law enforcement agency.

It’s doubtful any of the cases the FBI likes to publicize made it into Tim Weiner’s absorb- ging, blackmail and break-ins ing “Enemies: A History of were mainstays of FBI investhe FBI.” It is a scathing in- tigations.

The sordid story starts in 1908, when the Justice Department set up an investigative unit to help track suspected subversives. New laws banned anarchists from living in the United States. By 1917, when President Woodrow Wilson warned that terrorists and anarchists were the “gravest threats against our national peace and safety,” the bureau had begun rounding up radicals, wiretapping conversations and opening mail.

Enter J. Edgar Hoover, who would serve as the FBI’s imperious director for nearly five decades. Inevitably, Weiner weaves his tale around Hoover’s endless obsessions and hates, and his disdain for the Bill of Rights. Early on, in 1920, determined to crush a “Communist conspiracy,” Hoover presided over the so-called Palmer Raids that netted up to 10,000 people without warrants or due process, the biggest mass arrests in U.S. history. Most suspects ultimately were released.

But the pattern was set.

The bureau began spying on thousands of suspected radicals, burgling their offices and homes, intercepting their mail and tapping their phones at Hoover’s whim. No one was immune, including members of Congress. By the 1930s, bug-

‘A shambles’ Hoover died in his bed in 1972, and Congress belatedly imposed oversight and reforms on the FBI. Yet the bureau barely changed. Scores of Soviet spies were unmasked in the mid-1980s, including a senior FBI agent, Robert Hanssen, and Aldrich Ames, a senior CIA officer. They had sold Moscow a catastrophic collection of national security secrets. Weiner’s assessment of the breach is perhaps his most pitiless.

The traitors thrived for so long because U.S. counterintelligence “had become a shambles,” he writes. “The FBI and the CIA had not been on speaking terms for most of the past 40 years. The sniping and the silences between them did more harm to American national security than the Soviets.”

The last few decades largely follow the headlines, including FBI errors prior to the 1993 World Trade Tower attack, the Oklahoma City bombing, and other fiascoes. When al-Qaida emerges in force, Weiner finds senior FBI and CIA counterterrorism specialists “too busy making war on one another” to focus on Osama bin Laden until it is too late. Sadly, one is given little reason to assume the FBI will do better in the future.

Hoover in control

Witness to where food starts

By Carolyn Kellogg

By Bob Drogin

F5

Readers curious about food have been able to deepen their knowledge exponentially over the last decade. They know how bad fast food is (thanks to Eric Schlosser), understand the complexities of food production (thanks to Michael Pollan), and know how hard it is to work in a kitchen (thanks to Bill Bryson). There are shelves upon shelves of books about how, why and what we eat by restaurateurs, farmers, chefs and even moonlighting novelists.

Add to the mix Tracie McMillan, who found employment at the bottom of our nation’s food chain and wrote about it in “The American Way of Eating: Undercover at Walmart, Applebee’s, Farm Fields and the Dinner Table.”

It’s like a foodie version of Barbara Ehrenreich’s “Nickel and Dimed: On (Not) Getting by in America.” McMillan is an award-winning journalist whose work has focused on poverty.

Field research A white woman in her 30s with a college degree, McMillan is an unusual figure looking for work in the fields of California’s Central Valley. When asked, she makes vague allusions to wanting to leave problems behind, be outside and stay away from people. But it takes her a while to be in the position of asking for a job.

‘Look of Love’ has a strong story line “The Look of Love”

by Mary Jane Clark (Morrow, $24.99)

By Oline H. Cogdill Sun Sentinel (Florida)

The amateur sleuth subgenre continues to prove that these lighter stories don’t have to be lightweight, thanks to authors who deliver clever plots while giving a glimpse of myriad occupations. This more personal type of mystery is filled with nonprofessional detectives — cooks, shoppers, bookstore owners — allowing the possibility that anyone can be a sleuth.

Mary Jane Clark’s tales about Piper Donovan, a wedding-cake baker and aspiring actress, fits well with the amateur sleuth’s transformation. “The Look of Love” has the right ingredients for an entertaining, involving plot. The second novel in this series works well as a story about an appealing young woman at the crossroads of her life, a look at the vagaries of families and a peek at the lifestyles of the wealthy.

Piper’s new career as a wedding cake baker may get a boost when she’s invited to an all-expenses-paid stay at an exclusive spa in Los Angeles. While she’s in L.A., Piper is hoping to squeeze in an audition or two. In return, Piper has to make the wedding cake for Jillian Abernathy, director of the spa owned by her father. But Jillian may never walk down the aisle because someone seems determined to sabotage her wedding by attacking people close to her.

A breezy plot and realistic characters elevate “The Look of Love.”

many people might be on a crew, and basic local geography,” she writes. Though she wields vast knowledge about the conditions faced by agricultural workers, she serves as an everywoman, an understandable lens on an unseen world.

In this way, the book is vital. She has the writing skills to bear witness, the research background to provide context, and the courage to take on the task. It is a constructed challenge: For each effort — farms in California, Wal-Marts in Michigan, Applebee’s in New York — she serves a two-month stint. She begins her project with a month’s savings, and when her car’s radiator fails, or a check amount is less than expected, like many other Americans she taps a credit card to make ends meet.

Each section begins by outlining how much she earned producing food and how much she spent on what she ate. In the fields, she spent 25 percent of her $10,588 annualized salary; at Wal-Mart, 17.2 percent of $11,487; at Applebee’s, 13.5 percent of $12,845. What those numbers don’t reveal is how much she depended on the kindness of strangers.

McMillan gets hired to pick grapes, sort peaches and harvest garlic. She lands her first job with the help of a sympathetic neighbor, who brings her along when the work is scarce in a mini-business of selling breakfast to other workers (McMillan provides the soda). Acquaintances share surplus food from the fields. A woman unloads a bounty from the throwaway bins at Trader Joe’s, including bread that a ravenous McMillan devours. A Michigan landlord stocks the kitchen and rewards on-time rent with pizza; in two houses where she rents rooms, the landlords regularly feed her home-cooked meals.

Not quite clear

The fact that these actions are recorded but seem to go unrewarded by her — even after McMillan returns to her “real” life — becomes one of the increasingly uncomfortable elements of the book.

These are, after all, the types of families for whom it makes sense to displace a teenage son from his bedroom for the $300 McMillan will pay that month; how can she rapturously write of the seafood soup without offering to stock the fridge once in a while?

Perhaps these transactions happened but were too intimate to be recorded.

This is the other element that is missing: intimacy.

McMillan is excellent at describing the surface of things — where to stand to sort justpicked peaches, how many training videos a new WalMart staffer will watch — but more often than not, she omits the feel of things. If her muscles hurt after that first day in the fields, if she was bored stocking shelves all night, we don’t know it.

Instead, we get a rhapsodic detailing of urban gardening in contemporary Detroit, which feels off the point but fits into her larger ends of imagining healthier eating solutions for all Americans, even those who are poor. Similarly, her history of supermarkets, which have always made profits off processed, packaged food, seems to be

What’s just plain weird is how little we read of her own eating habits; what we see doesn’t adhere to the healthful eating she advocates. One kitchen is too gross, one too busy; she must cook in others, but she doesn’t write it up. She compares prices between tomatoes at a Wal-Mart and a local grocery store, but she doesn’t explain what she cooks with them. Once she can eat for free at Applebee’s, she does. I’m no food saint, but I want to shake her for drinking soda everywhere she goes.

And when she sees men in the fields with camp stoves cooking hot midday meals, she mentions offhandedly that she buys sandwiches instead. This seems to be the core of her project, exploring how poor people who bring us food can eat healthfully; here are people doing so, but the how and what of it go unexplored.

The U.S. food system is large and complex, and McMillan’s efforts to tell macro and micro stories never cohere into a complete picture.

What she can give us that no one else can is her experience on the line. Tragically, that includes a sexual assault that happened, she writes, after the celebration of her last night at Applebee’s, where she had enjoyed the work (it was not a work colleague). Related in less than two pages, that experience may explain some of McMillan’s unwillingness to get too close, to reveal too much about what she was feeling during the project.

There is some insight here, about danger and vulnerability, about power and poverty, about what it takes to feed ourselves in a way that is good from the inside-out and top to bottom. But I’m not entirely sure what it is; McMillan isn’t either.

THE BULLETIN • SUNDAY, MARCH 4, 2012

Justice Continued from F1 At the heart of the book is Stuntz’s surprising argument about how we reached this point: that well-intentioned Supreme Court rulings meant to protect defendants from unfair and discriminatory police practices combined with the harsh laws passed in response to the crime wave of the 1960s and ’70s to produce a system that is merciless, destructive, and above all, unjust.

Concern about the prison population is usually a liberal issue, but Stuntz, who favored small government, opposed abortion, and made no secret of voting Republican, was driven in his academic work by a sense of concern for the disenfranchised and the poor that would have struck many members of his party as unforgivably left-wing. It is precisely because Stuntz was such a peculiar political animal that his book — which has been praised in outlets as politically diverse as the Nation and the National Review, and has been endorsed by the likes of Richard Posner and former Supreme Court Justice John Paul Stevens — is now being described by legal scholars as a work of potentially huge influence.

“Bill’s not of the typical knee-jerk lefty camp,” said Carol Steiker, one of Stuntz’s colleagues at Harvard Law School, and one of a group of friends he deputized before his death to help steer the book through publication in his absence. “And he’s willing to say what non-knee-jerk lefties want most to be said, which is that … crime is a terrible thing, and it’s something we should want to have as little of as possible. But he’s also saying there are prices we should not be willing to pay, and that as a society we should be ashamed to be paying, in the service of that laudable goal.”

Though the early critical reception for the book has been enthusiastic, ideas for major social change typically grow as their authors promote, defend, and develop them over time. Without Stuntz alive to speak for it, it remains to be seen how the book’s legacy will grow. And although it seems like a deeply pessimistic work — more a grim diagnosis of what has gone wrong than a plan for how to fix it — the colleagues who have vowed to spread his ideas believe it has arrived at a moment when, thanks to historically low crime rates and budget crunches in the prison system, reform seems more possible than it has in years.

2.3 million in jail In 2010, the most recent year for which the Justice Department has figures available, there were an estimated 2.3 million adults in jail or prison in the United States. That means nearly 1 in 100 American adults are behind bars, an incarceration rate more than five times higher than it was 40 years ago. The numbers for African-Americans are even more grave: According to the Sentencing Project, a Washington think tank, a third of all black males born today will serve time at some point in their lives.

The debate over what these numbers mean has tended to break down along a neat political fault-line, with liberals blaming unfair drug laws, racist prosecutors, and excessively harsh “three strikes” sentencing guidelines, and law-and-order conservatives pointing to the nation’s falling crime rate as evidence that whatever our justice system is doing is actually working quite well.

Instead of pointing the finger one way or the other, Stuntz decided to look at the entire “political economy” of the justice system, as he called it: the prosecutors who charge people with crimes, the attorneys who defend them, the courts that determine who is allowed to do what, and the legislators who craft the laws in the first place. Stuntz’s approach grew out of his experience as a student, and later a professor, at the University of Virginia School of Law, which

“This isn’t a call to arms as much as an explanation. It’s a plea for an understanding of a history, and a strong suggestion of how that history should inform our dismantling of a system that isn’t working.”

— Daniel Richman, a professor at Columbia Law School

was a hotbed for a movement within the legal academy known as “law and economics,” whose proponents believe laws should be assessed not just on principle and precedent, but on what kind of behaviors they incentivize in the real world.

Applying this approach to the mass incarceration problem, Stuntz concluded that the single most important development in the recent history of American criminal justice was the so-called rights revolution ushered in by Earl Warren’s Supreme Court during the 1960s. Through a series of landmark rulings, including Miranda v. Arizona, the Warren Court had instituted a set of procedural mandates that sought to protect defendants from abusive and unfair prosecution tactics. Evidence collected through illegal search and seizure became inadmissible in court.

Police officers were required to inform suspects of their rights before arresting them.

Defendants who couldn’t afford a lawyer were to be provided one by the state. The rulings were hailed by the left as major victories in the fight for civil rights, and condemned by right-wing critics who thought they made it harder to catch and convict criminals.

But as Stuntz saw it, the Warren Court’s reforms had another, far less obvious effect: They created new incentives that changed the way defense lawyers and prosecutors did their jobs.

Stuntz described it as a chain reaction, set off by the fact that the court had focused all its efforts on procedure, and had failed to impose any substantive limits on what legislators could criminalize and the punishments they could impose.

The result was that defense attorneys — especially overworked public defenders — realized they could score easy victories for their clients by getting charges dismissed on procedural grounds; legislators, in turn, reacted by criminalizing a much broader range of activities and imposing harsh minimum sentencing requirements, which prosecutors could use as leverage to win guilty pleas.

As criminal justice became a clash of mandates and bureaucratic rules, it became untethered from what was once its basic function: separating the guilty from the innocent and delivering fair punishment to those who deserved it.

Today, most criminal cases are resolved without any verdict on a defendant’s guilt in a courtroom, but instead through a sort of procedural crossfire. In effect, those rights that the Warren Court gave defendants have become bargaining chips, to be traded away by defense attorneys in exchange for shorter sentences.

“He suggested that the question of guilt or innocence had been lost in the shuffle,” said Yale Kamisar, professor emeritus at the University of Michigan Law School, who is considered the intellectual godfather of the Warren Court’s rulings. “The way the system worked, it wasn’t really the dominant thing anymore.”

An idealized vision In his book, Stuntz conjures an idealized vision of America’s past — a time when criminal defendants, at least in the North, could expect their fates to be determined in open court, by a jury of their peers, rather than negotiated in a plea bargain behind closed doors.

In those days, Stuntz writes, criminal justice was essentially local: Police officers patrolled the neighborhoods in which they lived, and criminal cases were decided by juries composed of people who could be expected to treat defendants with a degree of empathy.

Under the current system, justice is essentially administered by prosecutors, who have

Weekly Arts & Entertainment Every Friday In

every incentive to threaten defendants with the harshest possible sentence — and indirectly driven by politicians, who court the favor of voters by passing more and tougher laws.

The practical result, Stuntz writes, is that the criminal justice system is now anything but local, and mostly indifferent to the people whose lives are most directly affected by it. Poor minorities who live in the urban neighborhoods with the most crime are living under laws passed to please middle-class voters who live elsewhere, and processed by a system built to force a guilty plea rather than determine whether they actually deserve to go to prison.

That imbalance is at the center of Stuntz’s book, and it reads as a wake-up call to Americans under the illusion that our justice system still centers around the jury trials promised in the Constitution. But in arguing that fair-minded and consistent procedure is not, in itself, enough to guarantee just outcomes, Stuntz was also issuing a profound challenge to his own profession.

“It is the lawyer’s conceit to believe, on some level, that if you can get the procedure to be perfect, that will ensure that the results will be perfect,” said Joseph Hoffmann, a professor at the Indiana University Maurer School of Law, who has known Stuntz since the two of them clerked together on the Supreme Court. “It’s the way most lawyers look at the world. … They would say procedural justice is how you get to substantive justice.”

Stuntz believed one needed only to look at the extraordinary racial disparity in America’s prisons to know that notion was wrong. And it was this belief that caused him to take a position that truly distinguished him from his fellow conservatives: that America’s higher courts shouldn’t just restrict themselves to procedural doctrine, but should think instead about the substance and the effects of laws, and be willing to strike them down if they are not enforced fairly.

Many legal thinkers would regard an approach so focused on outcomes as naive, even dangerous, leaving us open to the whims of activist judges.

But in a system that took justice seriously as a goal, Stuntz argued, American courts would act more aggressively

than even the liberal Warren Court did to ensure that the laws they help enforce were used for good, and were applied equally to everyone.

Thinking pragmatically Over the course of his career, both at Virginia and Harvard, Stuntz’s work helped reshape the field of criminal procedure by compelling his colleagues — even those who disagreed with him about how much responsibility the Warren Court deserves for the current state of criminal justice — to think about laws less abstractly and more pragmatically, and to see them as levers in a complex system whose unintended consequences can outweigh their intended ones. Stuntz’s contributions to the field were the subject of a two-day conference at Harvard Law School shortly before he died, and earlier this year, a book of essays exploring his legacy was published by Cambridge University Press.

For all his passion on the subject, and influence in the legal academy, Stuntz’s book left one question largely unanswered: What should be done? Indeed, though the book includes several practical proposals about what should change — Stuntz believed there should be more police officers stationed in dangerous neighborhoods, for instance, and that more funding should be spent on hiring public defenders — the famously modest professor did not presume to know how to roll back the pernicious chain of events he observed.

“The last thing he would ever think was that people would read his book, put it down, and march off knowing precisely what the next move should be,” said Daniel Richman, a professor at Columbia Law School who helped with the book’s publication. “This isn’t a call to arms as much as an explanation. It’s a plea for an understanding of a history, and a strong suggestion of how that history should inform our dismantling of a system that isn’t working.”

Stuntz wanted to show that there was nothing inevitable about our present circumstances — that what has gone wrong in our criminal justice system is the result of decisions and miscalculations that can be identified and understood.

That doesn’t mean they can be easily annulled, of course, but it does provide hope that change is possible.

“His turn to history is not just a matter of telling a story, but of reminding us that even those who would, at least initially, think that he’s naive, are too caught up in their own historical moments,” said Richman.

“And that the world doesn’t have to be the way it seems.”

Eavesdropper at the center of gripping tale “By Blood”

by Ellen Ullman (Farrar, Straus & Giroux, $27)

By Carolyn Kellogg Los Angeles Times

“By Blood,” a literary inquiry into identity and legacy, is a gripping mystery — remarkable, considering that little more happens than a man eavesdrops on a woman’s therapy sessions taking place next door.

That man is a professor who has been placed on leave for possible improprieties with a student. He’s decamped to San Francisco and rented a dismal apartment and tiny office — it’s there that he begins listening to sessions of a particular patient.

“I did not cause her any harm,” he tells us in the book’s first line, a defensive dissimulation. Of course he’s hiding something — what exactly has he done?

The unnamed professor is beset by terrible thoughts; he imagines them as crows, descending on him with shrieking obsession. Now on the graying side of middle age, he carries a family history of madness and suicide, and his own depression, only glancingly understood, sometimes verges on the dangerously unwell. He’s familiar with psychiatric treatment, so he swiftly recognizes, and criticizes, the therapy he overhears.

“I was certain I had come in on her therapy at just the right moment, one of those mysterious fulcrum points: a pure, Aristotelian shift in the plot wherein the therapeutic story of the patient’s life was about to turn,” he says.

That patient, whom he comes to think of as his own, is at first looking for a break from her parents; he wants this too and latches on to her story. When she learns she’s adopted, he becomes even more obsessed with her. As the patient embarks on a quest to know who she is — which comes with startling revelation after startling revelation — she becomes an unwitting surrogate for the voyeuristic professor.

This is, yes, a little creepy.

It is creepy that he leaves his light off and holds his body excruciatingly still so as not to

give any hint that his office is occupied. It is creepy that he is titillated by her graphic tales of lesbian sex, that listening to her becomes his psychic balm, that when he decides to intercede in her search for her birth mother, he lies so easily and so well.

This is San Francisco in 1974, and though another person might be liberated and inspired, the professor sees only a world shot through with anxiety and chaos. The Zodiac Killer is on the loose, the war in Vietnam is collapsing, destitute men lurk on the sidewalks, and his apartment in North Beach is gray, rundown and literally at the end of the streetcar line.

With his erudition, vaguely adolescent, inappropriate sexual yearnings and formal, antique language, the professor is like a beaten Humbert Humbert, finally caught, 15 years later. He observes, he obsesses, he skulks.

The lobby of his office building is a respite of whiteness, clean and polished, with cherub decor — arriving, it’s as if he enters heaven. When a guard there begins dogging him, suspicions arise. Did he actually rent that office, or has he not told us the truth — is his very presence illicit?

Ellen Ullman is a careful stylist; her professor’s voice is unique, precise, articulate and has a poetic eye for detail. Yet that voice bleeds: When the patient tells the story of learning about her adoption from her reluctant mother, or the therapist reveals her own history, or a tape recorder plays a voice from afar, it’s still there.

That is not necessarily a bad thing — the storytelling is compelling and propulsive.

BROKEN TRUST IN GOD’S COUNTRY

Community is forgiving in ‘Amish Madoff’ case

By Diana B. Henriques New York Times News Service

SUGARCREEK, Ohio — This village is as sweet as its name. Main Street climbs gently from a tidy railroad crossing, past a few gift shops to the simple brick First Mennonite Church.

Beyond the hamlet lie the farms and buggy-traveled lanes of the eastern Ohio Amish country, one of the largest clusters of Amish and Mennonite settlements in the nation. Craft markets, furniture shops and restaurants dot the county roads. Those businesses carry the names — Yoder, Miller, Troyer, Beachy — that fill entire chapters of the slim local telephone book.

This postcard from a gentler and simpler America is about as unlikely a place imaginable for the news that broke in September: One of Sugarcreek’s own, a prominent member of what some people here call the Plain Community, was under arrest, accused by federal prosecutors of running a Ponzi scheme that betrayed his neighbors’ trust and wiped out more than $16 million of their savings.

The news media made the obvious comparisons.

Prices are at all-time highs for this time of year in Oregon, and they’re still rising.

The price for regular unleaded at a selection of Bend-area gas stations averaged $3.94 per gallon Thursday, according to data from AAA of Oregon, which tracks the price of gasoline at stations across the area.

Anyone filling up a 15-gallon tank of gas today will spend nearly $6 more than they did as recently as Feb. 20.

But how much higher will prices go?

Some fuel analysts say the state could see $4.25 per gallon gas this spring. In Central Oregon, away from the interstate routes much of the state’s fuel is shipped on, prices could shoot higher, possibly near $4.35, said Marie Dodds, AAA of Oregon spokeswoman.

Angelina Francisco, 11, of El Dorado Hills, Calif., prepares to purchase herself a new ukulele at Nicholson Music in Folsom, Calif. Francisco taught herself how to play the instrument from YouTube videos.

SACRAMENTO, Calif.

— The unassuming ukulele has gone viral. No longer are the instruments seen as a frivolous novelty. They are popping up all over YouTube — and being strummed in chart-topping hits.

As a result, music stores are having a hard time keeping up with demand for the fourstring instruments.

“Within the past year we’ve doubled our sales of ukuleles,” said John Sandoval, manager at Nicholson Music in Folsom, Calif.

Two years ago, Sandoval said, it was normal to sell two or three ukuleles. This year, he is selling that many in a day.

The instrument has been popularized by such artists as Eddie Vedder, Bruno Mars and actress-singer Zooey

Deschanel. And 35-year-old ukulele virtuoso Jake Shimabukuro has led the charge on YouTube, with his rendition of George Harrison’s “While My Guitar Gently Weeps” tallying 9 million views.

The uke’s status has climbed so high that future generations likely will encounter it for the first time in a school setting — as part of a music class or club.

At Golden Valley Charter School in Sacramento, the ukulele has been part of music instruction for the past two years, as part of its choral singing program.

“You can’t help but smile when you hear a ukulele,” said Deborah Lenny, principal of the charter school.

The instruments range in price from $35 for an entry model to handmade Hawaiian instruments that fetch $1,300.

Amish Continued from G1 The elderly defendant, Monroe Beachy, had been a respected financial figure in his community for decades — just like Bernard Madoff, the master swindler.

As in the Madoff case, Beachy’s seemingly successful investment firm employed several members of his family.

He, too, first attracted clients who shared his religious faith.

And he, too, was accused of defrauding charities, congregations, even his own relatives.

Predictably, headlines have branded Beachy “the Amish Bernie Madoff,� although he is presumed innocent as he heads to trial next month.

But the most intriguing aspect of Monroe Beachy’s story is how different it seems from Bernie Madoff’s — and from almost every other story with a “Ponzi scheme� headline over the years.

While victims of Madoff’s fraud, like most Ponzi victims, condemned their accused betrayer in court as a monster, many of Beachy’s investors have said in court that it is more important to forgive him than to recover their money.

While the Madoff case and others like it have inevitably created conflict between longtime investors fighting to keep their fictional profits and more recent investors trying to recover lost principal, some Beachy investors urged that their own share of his estate should be given to those in greater need.

And while Madoff’s wife and sons instantly became social pariahs in New York City, Beachy’s wife and children remain at his farmstead here, living peacefully with their neighbors.

But like the Madoff case, the Beachy case has left an indelible mark on the nation’s bankruptcy record.

It became the forum for a rare bankruptcy court battle over religious freedom, with Beachy’s Amish and Mennonite creditors insisting that the court’s way of dealing with his downfall could not be squared with their faith or with his. “Monroe Beachy in his time of distress breached the trust of his fellow Amish and Mennonites� by entering an “environment of coercion and selfprotection in the bankruptcy court,� a group of church elders told the judge, urging him to put the case into the hands of the church where it belonged.

That would accomplish three worthy goals, they said.

It would allow a less expensive, more advantageous financial workout “based on Christian principles of love and care for the poor and needy.� It would create a setting in which “Biblical forgiveness and restoration can be found between Monroe Beachy� and those he is accused of betraying. And it would repair “the tarnished testimony and integrity of the Plain Community.�

The rise The Beachy name is not only common in Sugarcreek but also notable in the history of the Plain Community, which encompasses a number of Amish and Mennonite sects. One is known as the Beachy Amish, a splinter sect formed in the late 1920s and named for a founding bishop, Moses Beachy.

Monroe Beachy, in his late 70s, is married and has five adult children, three sons and two daughters, all living in the Sugarcreek area.

He and his wife, Alma, and their daughters live in a tidy home on a 60-acre farm near the muddy verge of Township Road 162, barely wide enough for two cars to pass. The twostory house next door, which he built for his family in 1988, is now a son’s home. Monroe Beachy does not drive a car; his only vehicle is a horsedrawn buggy, valued at $3,300, including the horse.

Under oath at a creditor meeting in August 2010, he described his background. He has an eighth-grade education, he said, and attended a few high school classes. As an adult, he took some tax-preparation courses with H&R Block. With an associate, he formed an informal partnership, A&M Investments, in the mid-1980s to operate an H&R

A section of the Amish community in Surgarcreek, Ohio, where Monroe Beachy, a respected financial figure, is accused of running a Ponzi scheme. Many of Beachy’s investors have said in court that it is more important to forgive him than to recover their money.

A woman works in a gift shop in downtown Surgarcreek, where Monroe Beachy had been a respected financial figure in the prominent Amish community for decades.

Block franchise, but the partnership was dissolved in 2000 and the franchise was sold.

Thereafter, Beachy retained sole control of A&M Investments but also set up his own business, Payrolls & More, which processed paychecks for small businesses.

He was clearly a trusted community figure. He served for 15 years as treasurer of the Amish Helping Fund, a nonprofit that collects money from the Plain Community and uses it to provide mortgages for the purchase of farms and homes in that community. He kept the group’s records in a separate fireproof file box at his modest office at 122 W. Main St., across from the First Mennonite Church.

His A&M Investments eventually took in about $33 million, paying investors a fixed return that was better than they could get at the bank.

He kept a share of their interest earnings as his fee. He assured those who asked that he invested in only very low-risk government bonds, regulators said in court filings.

In a modest way, Beachy helped the local economy, making undocumented loans on a handshake to the owners of a bakery and a popular noodle company, who paid him back when they could.

He invested cash for dozens of businesses — a general store, several furniture makers, two concrete companies, an electric supply company and at least one large Amish-style restaurant.

Word spread about his safe, steady returns. Parents encouraged their children to practice thrift by opening A&M accounts, too. By spring 2010, he was mailing his simple one-page, sevenline statements to almost 2,700 investors, largely Amish and Mennonite, in more than two dozen states from Alaska to Arkansas.

Then, on June 30, 2010, it all came crashing down.

The fall That day, Beachy abruptly filed for bankruptcy, declaring liabilities of $33.2 million and assets of just $17.9 million. Two of the region’s small newspapers reported that there was a note on the door of A&M’s darkened office: “Due to an investigation A&M Investments is closed.�

One of the papers, followed more closely by the Amish community, reported receiving a statement in which Beachy disclosed the bankruptcy filing and said: “I deeply regret the concerns caused in our community and the shortfall in A&M’s investments. I took this action to ensure that account holders are treated as fairly as possible.�

The first creditor meeting was held that August, in the

banquet hall of the Carlisle Inn in nearby Walnut Creek, one of the few places within reach that could accommodate the estimated 600 people who attended.

Under questioning by the bankruptcy trustee, Beachy explained that some “bad investments were made� and had gone sour, wiping out roughly half of his investors’ savings. He said these losses were in dot-com stocks and other stocks related to the Internet.

What about his assurances that he invested only in safe government bonds? “If we misled anyone, we did not do it on purpose,� he told one investor who questioned him. He said he had relied on recommendations from several advisers, including a broker in New York named Paul Chironis, and had failed to cut losses and seek advice many years ago, when the losses occurred.

The court-appointed bankruptcy trustee, Anne Piero Silagy, pressed Beachy about when he had decided to file for bankruptcy. “When the subpoena was issued,� he said.

When the trustee opened the floor to questions, a man named Ryan Miller asked Beachy the obvious follow-up question: What subpoena? “A subpoena from the Securities and Exchange Commission.�

Miller persisted. “For what?� “To examine the bank accounts,� Beachy said.

Lawyers with the Chicago office of the SEC would not disclose what drew their attention to Beachy or why they served him with the subpoena that prompted his hasty bankruptcy filing. But by September 2010, the government’s concerns were emerging in court filings.

Daniel McDermott, the Justice Department’s U.S. trustee for northern Ohio, asserted in one document that Beachy had been insolvent at least since December 2001 and probably as early as 1998, when his handwritten ledger showed his portfolio’s market value as $23.6 million, while investors were owed $26.6 million.

Beachy hid these losses from his clients and continued to accept new cash, McDermott said.

Moreover, the ledgers for two entire years — from January 1999 to December 2000, a period that included the bursting of the dot-com bubble — were missing, without explanation, according to McDermott. Investigators believed A&M Investments had been a Ponzi scheme, he reported.

The portrait of Beachy’s financial career sketched out in a civil lawsuit filed by the SEC last February contrasted

sharply with the homespun biography he gave creditors six months earlier.

In July 1987, according to regulators, Beachy had passed the qualifying exam for a Series 6 securities license from Finra, the securities industry’s self-regulatory group. The license entitled him to sell mutual funds and variable annuities. Finra’s records show he was licensed through H.D. Vest Investment Services of Irvine, Texas, a national network of independent brokers and tax advisers that was acquired by Wells Fargo in 2001 and sold by the bank last year.

In 1998, according to court records, Beachy was among a handful of investors who paid $1.8 million to become preferred shareholders in W.J. Nolan & Co., a tiny brokerage firm in New York City. At the time, the firm was already in serious trouble with its regulators, and in October 2001 it closed its doors.

The preferred shareholders sued in state court in New York to recover their investment. In response, the firm sued two of its former brokers, contending that they had been responsible for misleading the preferred shareholders. One of those brokers was Chironis, the broker Beachy said had advised him in his disastrous foray into technology stocks.

In a telephone interview last week, Chironis denied that he had misled the preferred shareholders and said he did not feel that he had any responsibility for the losses Beachy incurred on those shares, or on any other investment he made over the years. “He was always in control of his own accounts,�

Chironis said.

The W.J. Nolan litigation was settled out of court in 2004, the same year Beachy terminated his Series 6 registration with Finra. But Beachy did not terminate his relationship with Chironis, according to regulators. Beachy said at the creditor meeting in 2010 that not breaking his ties to the broker was “another mistake� he regretted.

In April 2010, less than three months before Beachy received the subpoena, the SEC filed an administrative case accusing Chironis of defrauding the Sisters of Charity, an order of mostly elderly nuns in the Bronx in New York City. In January 2011, he was barred from the securities industry after he settled the SEC case without admitting any wrongdoing and agreed to pay $350,000 to the nuns. Regulators would not say if their interest in Beachy grew out of the Chironis case.

The hit More than a dozen churches, church building funds, fellowships and ministries lost money in Beachy’s downfall. One family’s losses included the emergency savings relied upon by its daughter and son-in-law, serving as missionaries in Central America.

Many A&M accounts were small by Wall Street standards but were crucial in a community whose citizens may have religious scruples against drawing Social Security benefits.

The anxiety and confusion of many elderly investors is evident in the handwritten notes in the bankruptcy court docket.

“Greetings in the Name of Jesus!” one 76-year-old widow in the Miller clan wrote. “I had (($))4,327.80 in A&M Investments with Monroe Beachy. And I would like to tell you that I need it very badly.” She described her current ailments, osteoarthritis and diabetes, and concluded: “I hope and pray you can send me my money back. I need it. Thank you kindly.”

Within weeks of Beachy’s bankruptcy, religious leaders were working on a proposal to handle the settlement of claims outside the court process, using the cash remaining in the estate, as well as donations from Amish and Mennonite communities nationwide.

In a document submitted to the court, the ad hoc committee organizing the effort explained the Plain Community’s feelings about the bankruptcy.

“Bankruptcy is morally abhorrent and is not consistent with the values we hold,” the committee said.

“It is a dishonorable discharge of debts.”

One passage in the document called for Beachy’s clients to seek reconciliation with him. Forgiving a brother does not require shielding him from his fate, it said. But extending charity “to those harmed, and to those that have done the harm is our testimony to the world of love and forgiveness.”

Wayne Wengerd, the committee chairman, said last week that he had known the effort “was a long shot — but it was important to provide a testimony to the world and to our own people about what we stand for.” He added: “We were willing to sacrifice to live out those teachings. The teachings are more important than money.”

The committee also sent out a letter of apology from Beachy: “Hello: At A&M Investments our aim was to provide a decent rate of interest and for a number of years it worked. However some investments in stocks and bonds should not have been made and when they went bad I should have asked for advice from other people and the church. Instead I kept this to myself and went on hoping to recover at least some of the loss.

But then we were forced to shut down at a low point in the economy and the loss is large. I am really sorry for this.”

He concluded: “I have made a confession to God and the church and feel I have been forgiven. I hope you can forgive me too.”

For the Amish plan to be put into action, the bankruptcy court would have had to dismiss Beachy’s case and turn back the clock to the moment before his filing. Only then could his dealings with creditors follow a different path.

The committee’s vigorous campaign to have the Beachy case dismissed, based on the First Amendment’s religious freedom protections and the Religious Freedom Restoration Act of 1993, won wide support. More than 2,300 creditors filed form letters with the court endorsing the plan.

There may have been some practical reasons for that. The public’s fascination with the charm of the Amish is the bedrock of the tourist economy here, and the Sugarcreek scandal

Andrew Spear / New York Times News Service

A horse and buggy travel though downtown Surgarcreek, where Monroe Beachy had been a respected financial figure in the Amish community before he filed for bankruptcy in June 2010.

was an ugly scar on that landscape. A solution emphasizing fundamental Amish values might well neutralize any damage that the Beachy case inflicted on the Amish image.

But the campaign’s intensity left some non-Amish creditors feeling uncomfortable. One grandmother recalled attending a meeting at which supporters insisted on a “standing vote,” not a secret ballot. She opposed the plan, she said, but she remained seated because she felt intimidated at having her position exposed publicly.

No such qualms afflicted the SEC legal staff, the U.S. Trustee’s office and the bankruptcy trustee. In court, they all stood firmly against the alternative plan. It would lack judicial oversight and protections against mismanagement or unequal treatment, they argued. And it could well be unconstitutionally unfair to a small minority of non-Amish creditors, who would be steered out of court and into a religious forum tacitly endorsed by the government.

Last March, Federal Bankruptcy Judge Russ Kendig in Canton, in the federal courthouse closest to Sugarcreek, ruled that “delegating insolvency proceedings to a religious body” would be unconstitutional.

Given the high constitutional hurdle, the judge said,

Beachy simply had not “met his burden” for showing why his case should be dismissed after it had started moving through the court. Once “the rock begins to roll,” he concluded, something much stronger than a change of mind is required to stop it.

Moving forward No part of this story contrasts as sharply with the real Bernie Madoff case as what happened next.

In the Madoff bankruptcy, virtually every adverse ruling has been appealed by the losing side, as have disputed decisions in countless other highprofile bankruptcy cases. But when the Amish leaders lost their passionate plea, rooted in their deeply held religious beliefs, they simply sent the judge a letter.

“We are agreed among ourselves to accept your ruling as the will of Almighty God in this matter,” they wrote, after thanking him for considering their point of view so carefully. “If there is anything which we can do as members of the Amish-Mennonite community to facilitate the bankruptcy process and help bring it to a speedy conclusion please do not hesitate to contact any member” of the committee.

On Sept. 15, 2011, more than a year after Monroe Beachy closed his office and made

his fateful trip to bankruptcy court, federal prosecutors held a press conference in Cleveland to announce that he had been indicted on mail fraud charges arising from a “scheme to defraud” that they said dated back to 1990.

He is scheduled to go to trial next month in Youngstown. If convicted, he faces a possible jail term of up to 20 years. His court-appointed defender, a prominent Youngstown criminal defense lawyer, J. Gerald Ingram, did not respond to messages seeking comment on the case.

The bankruptcy case in Canton, meanwhile, is moving forward. The trustee, Silagy, is optimistic that up to 50 cents on the dollar ultimately can be returned to investors, according to her lawyer, Bruce Schrader. Some creditors have filed letters with the court expressing frustration with the delay, but he said that only about 400 creditor claims, out of 2,600, have not been pursued in court.

The criminal trial, scheduled to open March 19, will no doubt generate new headlines in Sugarcreek — which would much rather tell the world the sort of news it had last month: The village will soon install one of the world’s largest cuckoo clocks.

Mayor Clayton Weller of Sugarcreek says he hopes the trial will not cause renewed rancor. “I personally feel that the people are accepting what has happened,” he said. “They are understanding, and most of them are forgiving.”

But as the church fathers see it, something of lasting importance was tried in Sugarcreek.

“A hundred years from now, what will be the difference about how much money we had here?” asked Emery Miller, a village resident and a proponent of the alternative plan, at the first creditors meeting. “But a hundred years from now, there will be a difference in how we responded to this from our moral being, from a moral level — the choices we made to forgive or not to forgive.”

SUNDAY, MARCH 4, 2012 • THE BULLETIN

Ukulele Continued from G1 The soprano ukulele is the smallest and most popular of the four varieties. Ukuleles increase in size from there — concert models, then larger tenors and finally the baritones.

People now are buying the higher-priced models, said Chris Teresi, president of Northridge Music in Citrus Heights.

“The dollars spent on ukuleles are going up,” Teresi said.

“People are coming back and buying better models than the beginner ones.”

Teresi said the average purchase a few years ago for a ukulele was $80 to $100. Now it hovers between $200 and $400.

Internationally, the number of ukuleles sold jumped 16 percent last year, said Scott Robertson, spokesman for the National Association of Music Merchants, while retail sales figures increased by 26 percent last year.

That fact is not lost on instrument makers, Robertson said. “At the most recent NAMM show, we saw many more music companies coming out with ukuleles,” Robertson said. “Taylor Guitars came out with its first ukulele,

Gas Continued from G1 Price markups are all but guaranteed to hit the meat, produce and fish products that line the aisles of Newport Avenue Market in Bend — though not for another month or two, owner Rudy Dory said, because food prices tend to lag a bit behind transportation costs.

Long-haul truck companies, like Prineville-based Central Oregon Truck Company, are first to feel the effects of rising prices. Company President Cale Pearson spent $310,000 in January to fill his 185 commercial trucks with diesel fuel. Each 25-cent increase in the cost of diesel adds about $77,500 per month to his overhead costs. He said his business can’t survive shouldering the increase alone.

“It’s just a huge cost,” he said, adding, “We can’t eat that.”

So trucking companies like his offset fuel price increases with a surcharge, tacked on to the normal cost of shipping. A fuel charge, essentially, forces business owners like Dory to absorb the increase.

Gasoline last crossed the $4 per-gallon threshold in 2008.

That year, in an effort to control shipping costs, Dory eliminated one of his three weekly truck shipments from wholesalers. He’s yet to restore the third trip, and doesn’t know if he will. It was a better move than marking up prices or laying off some of his 70 workers at the grocery, he said.

But cutting another truck shipment isn’t an option this year. If gas prices continue on their expected rise, Dory wants to look everywhere other than his workforce to keep profits up.

That leaves price increases as the only option on the table to offset shipping hikes.

“We try to hold the line as long as we possibly can before we do that,” Dory said.

It’s a two-fold problem: On one hand, shipping costs force prices up. At the same time, consumers are putting more of their paychecks into gasoline.

“That’s money coming out of the customer. If gas costs

and ukuleles were much more present at this show than we’ve ever seen before.”

The instrument received its most profound artistic expression on the Hawaiian Islands, although it hails from the Portuguese islands of Madeira.

One of its greatest appeals

is that playing it is easy for the novice.

“The fact that the instrument only has four strings means that you can play a lot of chords with just one finger — so from a learning standpoint, it’s an easy instrument,” Sandoval said.

Noted jazz guitarist Ross Hammond recently bought one and instantly grew fond of the ease in moving from one chord to another.

“On the uke, chords are laid out in a small area,” he said. “It’s like having the most amount of chords in the small-

Depending on the route freight takes to get to Central Oregon, shipping goods by train could lead to significant cost savings for local businesses, said Jon Stark, manager of Redmond Economic Development, a branch of Economic Development for Central Oregon.

Deschutes County leaders have met with state transportation officials for several years to explore the possibility of expanded rail service, Stark said.

He called the potential for more rail freight “a critical component” of the region’s long-term economic vision, noting that a more established commercial rail service would give businesses an alternative to long-haul trucking.

But the infrastructure in place today isn’t adequate for a major expansion in rail freight volume. The biggest problem, said Gary Farnsworth, Central Oregon area manager for the Oregon Department of Transportation, is that some of the rail tunnels between Bend and the east-west connection are too small for double-stacking — a practice in which two freight containers are stacked on top of each other. Doublestacking is standard practice on many of the country’s railways, boosting efficiency by doubling the amount of cargo a train can move.

Unless the tunnels can be renovated to accommodate double-stacking, most businesses will continue to rely on long-haul trucking, said Farnsworth, and will bear the burden of gas price increases on their shoulders alone.

Shades of 2008 Bend’s $3.94 average per gallon price was higher than the state average of $3.90. The national average was $3.72.

Dodds with AAA said the agency is predicting statewide averages to top out around $4.25 this spring, the season when gas prices traditionally start rising.

Several national and global factors are driving the oil price surge: A fire at a large BP refinery in Washington state two weeks ago shut down production there, pushing West Coast oil inventory down and prices up, Dodds said.

The refinery provides an estimated 20 percent of Oregon’s gasoline, and has not been restarted, pending an investigation into the fire. Tension between the U.S. and oil-rich Iran has also inflated prices, as well as rising demand for fuel in emerging countries like China and India.

“Prices are up significantly from just a week ago,” Dodds said. The current fuel market conditions “are similar to 2008, when prices peaked at $4.29 in Oregon.”

But there’s one key difference between the current increase and the rise four years ago. Statewide, prices held fairly steady in the first two months of 2008, going up just 5.3 percent — from $3.07 a gallon on Jan. 1 to $3.25 on Feb. 26, according to 2008 AAA data. The big jump took place between March and May, with prices peaking in June.

This year, the jump is happening earlier. The price of a regular gallon of gas rose from $3.39 on Jan. 3, to $3.90 on Feb. 28 — a 15.3 percent jump.

Dodds said AAA expects prices to level off around April.

But she added that some fuel analysts disagree, predicting $5 per gallon gas this summer.

“AAA is trying to be a voice of reason,” Dodds said. “At this point, we don’t see ($5 per gallon) in the cards.”

If the next few months of 2012 look anything like spring 2008, though, businesses like Round Butte Seed Growers will have to raise prices, tack on new fees or cut back on inventory.

The Culver-based seed company sells lawn and specialty grass seed, fertilizer, wildflowers and bird feed in Bend, Prineville, Culver and northern Lake County. The company will also fertilize large pasture fields, for a fee.

Spurred by several years of declining sales, and taking a note from trucking companies, Round Butte last year started charging its own fuel surcharge on fertilization service, manager Britt Spaulding said.

More than any single factor, the cost to ship lawn and garden materials from across the country drives the prices of his supplies once they hit the shelves. And the fuel surcharge, passed to him from the trucking companies, will have to be passed on once more to the customer.

“Fuel adds pretty significantly to the cost of the item,” Spaulding said. “When you’re shipping something from Minnesota or South Dakota, the freight bill is already going to be $4,000 to $5,000 a load.

So if you’re getting a 10 to 20 percent (fuel surcharge) jump, you’re talking about $500 to $1,000” in additional costs.

The cost of shipping items in by truck has some development advocates hoping to expand volume on Burlington Northern Santa Fe’s rail line, which runs through Central Oregon and reaches an eastwest connection adjacent

LOS ANGELES — Independent restaurants, which were hit especially hard by the recession, are still having a tough time.

Overall, Americans ate out 60.6 billion times last year, according to the research company NPD Group. That’s down from 62.7 billion in 2008.

But of the 2.1 billion fewer visits, 2 billion were to independent establishments, NPD said.

Instead, consumers patronized the larger restaurant chains, which added 4,511 units since 2009. In comparison, more than 7,000 independent eateries closed since the fall of 2008.

Last year alone, visits to chain restaurants were up 1 percent, while meals at stand-alone businesses slumped 4 percent.

“Bubble wrap is made out of petroleum. Pallet wrap is made out of petroleum. All these prices are skyrocketing,” he said. “So much of my business is petroleum-based.”

High gas prices “are going to impact the customer, because they’re going to have to pay higher prices,” he said.

“Central Oregon could become truck-dependent for its freight,” Farnsworth said.

“That’s a bit of a nerve-wracking concept.”

And it’s just the dilemma Central Oregon Strapping Supply finds itself in today.

The company ships packing materials, like boxes, biodegradable packing peanuts, bubble and foam wrap, across the region from its office in east Bend. They’re materials the company gets shipped in from across the Northwest, owner Gary Dolezal said.

est amount of space.”

The instrument’s popularity has risen so steadily that at Nicholson Music, Sandoval now leads a ukulele clinic every Saturday afternoon. On a recent Saturday, 20 players gathered to take part, with ages ranging from preteens to senior citizens.

One of those was Angelina Francisco, an 11-year-old who taught herself how to play the popular tune “Honey Baby” on the ukulele by watching a YouTube how-to video.

“I first saw the ukulele when my cousin brought a ukulele to a party,” Francisco said. “He played it, and I liked it.”

Golden Valley Charter School’s Lenny also attended the ukulele clinic. The instrument roster at the school now includes six ukuleles and hosts a ukulele club with 15 students.

Such efforts mirror those in Canada. Since the early 1960s, generations of Canadian children have learned their first musical concepts on the ukulele.

In Lenny’s estimation, the ukulele offers a fruitful portal into music as an analog experience in a digital society.

“We want our students to have real instruments in their hands and not have them learn music digitally,” she said.

Exquisite, expensive and economical • Mercedes’ turbocharged diesel engine builds on fuel economy with luxurious style

By Warren Brown Special to The Washington Post

Conventional wisdom says people wealthy enough to buy luxury cars don’t care about the cost of fuel.

Conventional wisdom is wrong. Nowadays, even members of the One Percent are counting miles per gallon.

Luxury car manufacturers, as a result, are trying to deliver better fuel economy without harming the essential nature of their exotic machines. That essence is excess — more power, performance, better handling, REVIEW superior build quality, better safety technology and more standard amenities than can be found in less-expensive automobiles.

It is a contradictory pursuit that makes perfect sense in today’s marketplace. Buyers of luxury cars aren’t asking for less power, according to engineers and sales executives at Mercedes-Benz, Lamborghini, McLaren Automotive and Bentley — four companies I spoke to for this week’s column.

Those buyers instead are demanding oomph absent penalty — especially desirable in a time of rising fuel prices and globally increasing taxes on mobile-source pollution.

Manufacturers are using a variety of technologies to solve the power-economy paradox. Among them are a growing reliance on aluminum, high-strength but lightweight steels, and carbon fiber and other composite materials.

The aim is to reduce weight and thereby limit the work and fuel consumed in moving a load.

Older technologies — such as turbocharging, using exhaust driven impellers to pull more air into combustion chambers to get a bigger bang per unit of fuel burned — are being revisited with remarkable results. Consider this week’s subject, the 2012 Mercedes-Benz S350 BlueTEC 4Matic sedan, a born-again

diesel member of MercedesBenz’s premium S-Class line.

There have been MercedesBenz turbo-diesels before, first introduced by the company in 1977. But none like this.

Diesel engines generally get 30 percent more miles per gallon than their gasoline counterparts. Turbocharged diesel engines, such as the one in the S350 4Matic, improve on that performance by directly injecting diesel mist into the combustion chamber for a better air-fuel mixture.

The results will impress anyone who loves driving.

Here is a large, fully dressed, all-wheel-drive luxury sedan that moves from 0 to 60 mph in seven seconds, yet delivers 17 to 25 miles per gallon in the city and 25 to 37 miles per gallon on the highway.

Mileage is affected by multiple factors, including driving styles and road conditions. But those are fairly decent numbers for a large, high-performance luxury sedan.

You fall in love with the sheer movement of this one.

All of that torque, most easily described as an engine’s twisting power, gives you a powerful launch from “start.”

Once you’re under way, cruising is a breeze with a sevenspeed automatic transmission deftly managing the gear changes.

The S350 4Matic is luxury defined. It has every imaginable amenity and safety technology, including automatic distance monitoring between your car and the one in front of you and Mercedes-Benz’s patented “Pre-SAFE” predictive protection system to hold you in your seat and otherwise cushion you in the event of a crash.

The S350 4Matic has a healthy exhaust note, the way the tailpipes sound when pushing on the accelerator.

But more pleasing is the constant purr of its turbo-diesel 3-liter V-6 engine (240 horsepower, 455 foot-pounds of torque) when moving along the highway.

Mercedes-Benz via The Washington Post

The 2012 Mercedes-Benz S350 BlueTEC 4Matic is a front-engine luxury performance sedan with all-wheel drive. It gets top marks in ride, acceleration and handling, although it might lack the edge desired by some BMW and practically all McLaren aficionados.

2012 MercedesBenz S350 BlueTEC 4Matic Base price: $92,550 As tested: $108,605 Type: The 2012 MercedesBenz S350 4Matic is a front-engine, midsize/large luxury performance sedan with all-wheel drive and unitized-body construction.

Engine: A 3-liter, 24valve, direct-injection, turbocharged diesel V-6 (240 horsepower, 455 foot-pounds of torque) is standard. It’s linked to a seven-speed automatic transmission that also can be shifted manually.

Mileage: 16 mpg city, 32 mpg highway

It’s a stink-free drive, too.

There’s no smoke, no discernible discharge of diesel particulate matter. The car requires ultra-low-sulfur diesel fuel, which translates to a sulfur content of 15 parts per million. The fuel is now available at most service stations nationwide.

The kicker is what Mercedes-Benz does with burned fuel gases in the S350 4Matic’s exhaust stream before those gases reach the car’s catalytic converter.

Short trips are trouble — no matter your car’s age

By Paul Brand Star Tribune (Minneapolis)

My wife’s co-worker Q: lives about two blocks from the office. Her older Jeep Cherokee has starting problems that may be battery-related. I suspect it cranks slowly, even though the battery is newer. Batteries can wear out after just a few years, so I think the charging system should be tested. Her son thinks new spark plugs would help.

I also suggested that those short trips can shorten the life of the exhaust system and require more oil changes. I know there are all sorts of opinions on short trips, so is there really a good rule of thumb?

It’s sort of a good-newsA: bad-news scenario. The good news is that modern engine technology, materials, manufacturing and electronic fuel and spark management have made engines more efficient during warm-up. There’s much less rich fuel-air mixture and unburned fuel going through the cylinders as the engine warms up, so fouled spark plugs, oil contamination and drivability problems are fewer. And of course, cold starts are quicker and cleaner.

Now, the bad news. There is still considerable condensation in the engine and exhaust system when starting a cold engine. This contributes to oil contamination and exhaust system corrosion. Frequent cold starts without a full

warm-up can also contribute to carbon deposits on valves, pistons, rings and combustion chambers. Frequent cold starts and short trips may not keep the battery fully charged, thus leading to shorter battery life. Remember, starting batteries do not like to be left not fully charged. The sulfate buildup on the battery plates can permanently harden and reduce cranking capacity.

So, some things change while others stay the same. In this case, I still recommend at least 30 minutes of driving at full operating temperature at least once per week to evaporate moisture, minimize deposits and keep the battery fully charged. Also, consider cold weather operation as “severe service” and change the oil and filter more frequently, perhaps every 2,500 to 3,500 miles.

I have a 2004 Subaru Q: Outback with minor head gasket leaks for the past year or so. During a month or so, I add maybe 2 tablespoons of antifreeze mix. It has never overheated and the drips on the floor appear minor. What damage can occur to the engine if I delay in replacing the gaskets?

Can I use a stop-leak additive?

Besides allowing the coolant to drop to a dangerous A: level and overheating the engine, what you should be concerned about is coolant leaking into the combustion chambers,

causing oil dilution, corrosion to aluminum pistons and serious lubrication problems.

But, from your description, it looks like the head gaskets are leaking externally, not internally. Other than the loss of coolant and mess on the garage floor, no engine damage will occur. I’ve had good success with minor leaks with Zecol’s Mendtite and Gunk’s Solder Seal, stop-leak additives you can find in auto-parts stores. You might be amazed at the results.

Motoring note: After reading about the hard-shifting Montana in a recent column, Maj. Fred Dietze shared his experience. “I had the exact problem with a Pontiac Aztek with the same engine and transmission. A reputable transmission shop replaced the transmission at 110,000 miles, but the same problems immediately occurred. They replaced the transmission a second time — same problems again. This time they traced wiring and discovered a frayed wire harness, replaced the frayed harness and the third transmission worked like a charm. So, have a shop check the wiring harness.”

Thanks for the tip — and for the reminder to look for the simple fixes first.

It is a complicated business. It’s expensive. But no one who makes and sells cars for a living truly believed that providing a high-performance luxury sedan with maximum fuel economy and ultra-low emissions would be easy — or cheap.

When you wrote about why bicyclists should ride with traffic (and not against it), you neglected to mention the main reason: decreased impact speed in an accident.

For example, if you’re riding a bike at 15 mph and you’re struck head-on by a car traveling at 35 mph, you’re exposed to a 50 mph (35 plus 15) impact.

But if you’re struck from behind, you get a 20 mph (35 minus 15) impact.

—Ned Radich, Fresno, Calif.

Many readers wrote to express the same idea, but it’s not quite correct. First, the main reason that all types of vehicles (including bikes) travel in the same direction is not decreased impact speed in an accident. It’s the avoidance of accidents in the first place. That’s a basic rule for any kind of traffic.

Then there’s this physics error: In a head-on collision, the sum of the vehicles’ speeds does not equal the force of the impact. This is a common misconception, sometimes propagated by news reports. Say two identical cars are traveling at 50 mph and they collide headon. Each car sustains a 50 mph impact, not a 100 mph impact.

A cyclist will fare much worse than a motorist in nearly all collisions, of course, but the first one you describe, a headon collision between a 15 mph bike and a 35 mph car, will not deliver a 50 mph impact to either party.

1 Why do I wake up in the morning with gunk in my eyes?

That crusty stuff is actually just dried tears.

Your tear glands are constantly watering your eyes to flush out irritants. “While you’re awake, the act of blinking wipes tears away before they can build up,” says Jason Edward Karo, M.D., an ophthalmologist in Charlotte, N.C. “But when your eyes are closed at night, the dried tears accumulate inside the corners.”

Why do I get goose bumps during scary movies?

Goose bumps are produced by piloerection, a reflex that contracts the muscles around the base of each hair follicle, causing the hair to stand up (and small bumps to emerge), says Zoe Draelos, M.D., a consulting professor of dermatology at Duke University.

Back when humans were hairier, piloerection had two benefits: It helped keep us warm by trapping heated

Why do my fingers and toes wrinkle in the water?

Here’s the leading hypothesis: The top layer of

your skin absorbs more water than the layers beneath, increasing its surface area, says Richard Scher, M.D., professor emeritus of dermatology at Columbia University.

Since the newly baggy skin is still attached to the nonbloated layers, it bunches up, causing a prunelike effect. Fingers and toes are especially prone because of their thicker shell of dead keratin, an absorbent protein on the skin’s outer layer.

Why can’t I stop biting my nails?

Casual nibbling may have evolved as a type of selfgrooming, like when an animal bites or scrapes down its claws, says Monnica Williams, Ph.D., assistant professor of psychology at the University of Louisville.

It may also be a soothing ritual for when you’re stressed, similar to sucking your thumb. But some people take this habit too far, gnawing away until their nail beds are painful or bleeding. If you’re overchomping, says Williams, seek the help of a doctor or cognitive behavioral therapist to help you break the habit.

4 Why does it seem as if mosquitoes find me more delectable than other people?

It doesn’t just seem that way. The bloodsuckers are drawn to a tasty dinner by a variety of signals, including heat, carbon dioxide, movement, and the smell of skin secretions like lactic acid. One study even found that mosquitoes tend to prefer people who have recently downed a beer. No one knows what precise combination mosquitoes find the most irresistible, but if you seem to be their meal of choice, wear repellent and pass on the brew.

Why do men get more hair in some places and less in others as they get older?

The “George Costanza effect” is a common sign of aging. It’s caused by dihydrotestosterone (or DHT), a sex hormone to which some men are genetically predisposed to become sensitive, according to Spencer Kobren, founder of the American Hair Loss Association.

When that sensitivity develops, the hormone often causes the hair follicles on the head to shrink and follicles elsewhere, like on the back or in the ears or nasal passages, to become stimulated.

What are hiccups, exactly, and how can I stop them?

A hiccup is an involuntary contraction of the diaphragm and the muscles between your ribs. Any

8 Why does my nose run when it’s cold outside?

Your nose helps perform a kind of climate control by heating and humidifying the air that you inhale so that it better matches the moist, warm conditions inside your lungs. Glands in your nose produce secretions that add moisture, and blood vessels in your nose dilate to warm the incoming air, acting like miniature radiators.

When you breathe super-frigid air, those phenomena are amplified, leading to runniness, says Andrew P. Lane, M.D., director of the Johns Hopkins Sinus Center. There are two reasons why: Cold air tends to be drier, which causes the glands in your nose to produce more secretions. Second, when you exhale warm, moist air out into the cold world, some of the moisture condenses into droplets of water, which collect at the tip of the nose and add to the drip.

EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE

air close to the skin, and in scary situations, it made us look bigger and more threatening (like a spooked cat puffing up its fur).

Watching a horror flick in an air-conditioned theater provides the perfect setup for piloerection: You’re not only frightened, you’re also probably freezing.

short-term hiccupping is called a “bout” and is usually the result of overeating or drinking carbonated beverages (other causes include sudden excitement, stress, or too much alcohol). Traditional

remedies for bouts include holding your breath, sipping cold water, gargling, swallowing a teaspoon of dry sugar, gently pressing on your eyeballs, or leaning forward to compress your chest. If your hiccups last more than 48 hours, see a physician. An underlying medical problem, such as gastritis (inflammation of the stomach lining), might be causing them.

What causes bad breath?

Typically, the culprit is your tongue—or, to be more specific, the white film that builds up on your tongue while you sleep, says Ken Yaegaki, Ph.D., D.D.S., head of the Nippon University Department of Oral Health.

Yaegaki estimates that 60 percent of halitosis cases can be attributed to badsmelling sulfuric compounds produced by this layer of microorganisms

and dead cells. The solution: Try regularly brushing your tongue, back to front, using a soft-bristled toothbrush.

Why do I lose so much hair when I shampoo?

Most people lose 100 to 150 strands each day; the longer the strands, the more dramatic their appearance when you find them on your brush or in the drain.

(And if you don’t brush or wash your hair every day,

11 Why do I cry when I chop onions?

According to Harold McGee, author of On Food and Cooking: The Science and Lore of the Kitchen, these tears are caused by the release of a chemical called a lacrimator (which sounds like a supervillain but is actually from the Latin verb “to cry”).

When you slice into an onion, the chemical is expelled into the air, and once it reaches your eyes and nose, it breaks down into irritating compounds that attack the nerve endings there, says McGee. Your eyes produce tears (and, likewise, your nose may run) to rinse away these compounds.

To reduce the effect, try prechilling onions in ice water for 30 to 60 minutes; this will slow the enzymatic reaction that releases the lacrimator, and that means fewer of the offending molecules circulating in the air and fewer tears.

the loss will seem greater on days when you do.) If you think you’re losing an excessive amount—you’re no longer able to style your hair as you normally would, for example—then see your doctor. You’re most likely developing run-of-the-mill pattern baldness (which can affect both men and women), but there could be an underlying medical condition, like lupus or a thyroid disorder, at play.

12

Why do I huff and puff climbing stairs when I can easily run a mile on a treadmill?

As anyone who’s used a rolling suitcase knows, it’s a lot easier to pull a heavy object along a flat surface than it is to pick one up.

When you run on a treadmill, you’re barely lifting any of your body weight up and down. Walking up a typical 45-degree staircase, on the other hand, requires you to move 70 percent of your body weight against gravity, says Joseph Signorile, Ph.D., professor of exercise physiology at the University of Miami and author of Bending the Aging Curve.

13

What is earwax?

And why do we need it?

Earwax is made up of moisturizing oils, infectionfighting enzymes, and dead skin, says Jordan S. Josephson, M.D., an ear, nose, and throat specialist at Lenox Hill Hospital in New York City. And though the substance may be unsavory, he argues that most of the time, we should let our earwax be. “When you try to remove it using Q-tips or your finger, the result is like packing a musket: You keep pushing the earwax in deeper, where it gets stuck and hardens,” says Josephson.

Instead, clean your ears while showering by gently

tugging the lobes, which straightens the ear canal and allows water to wash away excess wax.

Why do fingernails grow faster than toenails?

We know that fingernails grow about three times as fast as toenails and that the fingernails of your dominant hand grow more rapidly than those of your nondominant hand, says Nia Terezakis, M.D., clinical professor of dermatology at Tulane School of Medicine.

What we don’t know for sure is why. The most accepted theory is that since you use your fingers more than your toes (and your strong hand more than your weak one), the faster nail growth might result from the body’s attempt to repair whichever parts are undergoing the most “trauma” (from activities like pecking out texts or digging for car keys).

Why do people ache more as they get older?

The older you are, the more likely you are to develop arthritis. The Arthritis Foundation estimates that 27 million Americans suffer from the most common form, osteoarthritis, which is caused when cartilage— the connective tissue that cushions our joints— begins to break down.

Without this protective padding, bones can rub together, causing stiffness and pain. Older adults are also more likely to develop a condition called bursitis, in which the bursa—the fluid-filled sacs that reduce friction where tendons slide over bones—become inflamed. The good news?

Increasing your activity level may make the symptoms milder (and help you feel better).

16 Why is it impossible to tickle yourself?

The answer lies within the brain’s cerebellum, which helps to monitor body movement.

Scientists from University College in London found that the cerebellum can predict how self-administered touches will feel and alerts other tickle-sensitive areas of the brain.

Since a truly successful tickle requires an element of surprise, this early-warning system makes self-tickling an exercise in futility.

Frequent nighttime trips to the bathroom, embarrassing leaks and the inconvenience of constantly searching for rest rooms in public – for years, I struggled with bladder control problems. After trying expensive medications with horrible side effects, ineffective exercises and undignified pads and diapers, I was ready to resign myself to a life of bladder leaks, isolation and depression. But then I tried BetterWOMAN. When I first saw the ad for BetterWOMAN, I was skeptical. So many products claim they can set you free from leaks, frequency and worry, only to deliver disappointment. When I finally tried BetterWOMAN, I found that it actually works! It changed my life. Even my friends have noticed that I’m a new person. And because it’s all natural, I can enjoy the results without the worry of dangerous side effects. Thanks to BetterWOMAN, I finally fought bladder control problems and I won!

percent of people who suffer cardiac arrest outside a hospital survive.

cine at the University of Arizona. Bystanders take action in only about a third of cardiac arrest cases, so the American Heart Association has launched an initiative to teach 911 dispatchers how to coach people through the process.

A dispatcher should

ask whether the person is conscious and whether he or she is breathing normally. If the answer to both is no, the dispatcher can help a bystander start CPR, often within 60 seconds.

A IF YOU SEE AN ADULT WHO HAS COLLAPSED: • First check her breathing. Is she gasping or breathing shallowly?

• If so, stack the heels of your palms on the victim’s chest (see diagram) and pump hard and fast.

• Try humming the Bee Gees’ “Stayin’ Alive” as you go—if you press down on every beat, you’ll reach the ideal speed, about 100 pumps per minute.

For adults, this method is at least as effective as the old “two breaths to every 30 pumps” technique. (Children and drowning victims still benefit from mouth-tomouth along with compressions.)

My mother ran a cooking school in our Toronto home, so my brothers and I were exposed to a lot of good food growing up. While other kids we knew were eating macaroni and cheese or hot dogs, my brothers and I were weaned on quiche and pâté.

One dish she made all the time was this tart, using whatever fruit was fresh and in season. I could always find one of these tarts sitting on the kitchen counter; she also taught it to her students, who were often neighboring moms and dads.

When I was in college, I asked my mother for the recipe, and I’ve been baking it ever since. Whether made from pears, peaches, or plums, this tart has a lovely vanilla-and-fruit scent that fills the house as it bakes.

It’s comforting, simple, and versatile. I make it because it reminds me of home.
