An Oregon tribute to a tsunami victim ends WesCom News Service

CRESCENT CITY, Calif.

— Today, Jon Weber will complete his tribute journey at the spot where his son Dustin was swept away by a tsunami surge one year ago.

“This was for him,” Weber said.

The journey started 400 miles north in Astoria, on Feb. 29, where Dustin Weber’s body was discovered weeks after the March 11, 2011, Jon Weber tsunami.

Jon Weber, of Bend, has been running and biking down the coast with Jeff Baker, a fellow Bend resident, accompanying him on a bicycle. Baker lost his son Jared in a motorcycle crash in 2003. Both Dustin and Jared were 25 when they died.

Weber and Baker left Brookings on Friday morning and arrived in Crescent City that afternoon. A group of people ran alongside Weber down U.S. Highway 101. Dan Nielsen, who traveled from Coos Bay for the occasion, ran the entire distance with him.

Weber, Baker and Rick Loeks, a friend of Weber’s who is also from Bend and has been driving down the coast with them, set out from Crescent City on bikes to Klamath, Calif., which is south of Crescent City.

Golf’s growth: a labor of love NEW COURSES

By Zack Hall • The Bulletin

L

egend has it that a group that included Prineville businessman Bob Hogan and Portland-area golf pros Ted Longworth, Eddie Hogan and George Junior, among others, sketched out a nine-hole golf course over some whiskey while fishing Ochoco Creek.

That golf course would be constructed on Bob Hogan’s land east of Prineville and become Central Oregon’s second permanent golf club: Prineville Golf and Country Club.

Like any creation myth, the truth is something of a mystery. (Most of the early records for Prineville’s first golf course were destroyed in the 1966 Ochoco Inn fire, says Zuanne Close-Neal, a Terrebonne resident whose family members were among the course’s founding golfers.)

But that’s what Jim Wilkinson was told by his father, Bill, who was the head pro at Juniper Golf Course in Redmond in the 1950s and at Prineville in the 1960s.

“They drew it out on a whiskey sack,” says Wilkinson, a 67-yearold local golf legend himself.

“That could have been, I have a feeling, because of the (Ochoco Creek) running right through there (where the course sits),” says Powell Butte’s Claudia Loveland, 67, whose father, Claude Hudspeth, and uncles Fred and John Hudspeth were instrumental in the development of the club. “They had a lot of good times out there, I think.”

No matter how it came to be, by 1949 Bend Golf Club finally had some company in Central Oregon.

See Golf / A4

Redmond’s Juniper Golf Club (pictured at top) and Prineville Golf and Country Club — the 1950-era additions to Central Oregon golf — were labors of love for their town’s residents.

Both courses were built primarily by volunteers.

FAMOUS FACES

Meanwhile, people famous in entertainment and sports found their way to the region.

Comedian Jack Benny played a round of golf in 1954 at Bend Golf and Country Club. His appearance was front-page news in The Bulletin (pictured below) and drew more than 100 spectators. In this photo, Bend’s Owen Panner (left) hands Benny a gift.

SALEM — When Facebook was confronted with the possibility of an unexpected tax hike, the company knew it needed friends in the state capital.

Before the February legislative session started, Facebook executives sent their public policy manager from Washington, D.C., to Salem to walk IN the Capitol halls, speaking with lawmakers.

SALEM They hired a local lobbyist.

And they doled out money to a handful of lawmakers.

It’s just the start of the social network giant’s participation in Oregon politics, and it paid off.

The bill the lawmakers backed ensures the company’s data center in Prineville will not be subjected to central assessment or taxed on intangible assets, such as the company’s brand, at least while protected under a rural enterprise zone agreement.

The measure sailed through both chambers, receiving unanimous approval.

Pentagon tries Walmart therapy to combat PTSD

By Gopal Ratnam and Michelle Fay Cortez Bloomberg News

WASHINGTON — No one knows better than Connie Chapman that almost 150 years since troops came home with “soldier’s heart” after the Civil War, the U.S. military is still struggling to identify and treat what’s now called PTSD. When the now-retired Army captain and her Washington National Guard unit returned from Iraq in 2005, she said they mustered on a racquetball court at Fort Lewis, south of Seattle, where mental health screeners shouted at them, “Are you suicidal? Do you have flashbacks?”

The Pentagon has a new, if odd-sounding, alternative: Walk through a Walmart store until your fears subside.

DID YOU HEAR?

The Associated Press

Coca-Cola Co. and PepsiCo Inc. are changing the way they make the caramel coloring used in their sodas as a result of a California law that mandates drinks containing a certain level of carcinogens come with a cancer warning label.

The companies said the changes will be expanded nationally to streamline their manufacturing processes.

They’ve already been made for drinks sold in California.

Coca-Cola and PepsiCo account for almost 90 percent of the soda market, according to industry tracker Beverage Digest. A representative for Dr Pepper Snapple Group Inc. said all its caramel coloring now meet the new California standard.

The American Beverage

Association, which represents the broader industry, said its member companies will continue to use caramel coloring in certain products but that adjustments were made to meet California’s new standard.

“Consumers will notice no difference in our products and have no reason at all for any health concerns,” the association said in a statement.

A representative for CocaCola, Diana Garza-Ciarlante, said the company directed its caramel suppliers to modify their manufacturing processes to reduce the levels of the chemical 4-methylimidazole, which can be formed during the cooking process and, as a result, may be found in trace amounts in many foods.

“While we believe that there

Pepsi and Coca-Cola are changing how they make an ingredient in their drinks to avoid being legally obliged to include a cancer warning label. It’s a manufacturing process that has changed, not the recipe of the drinks themselves — as was reported across the world recently.

is no public health risk that justifies any such change, we did ask our caramel suppliers to take this step so that our prod-

ucts would not be subject to the requirement of a scientifically unfounded warning,” GarzaCiarlante said in an email.

The Center for Science in the Public Interest, a consumer advocacy group, in February filed a petition with the Food and Drug Administration to ban the use of ammonia-sulfite caramel coloring.

A spokesman for the Food and Drug Administration said the petition is being reviewed.

But he noted that a consumer would have to drink more than 1,000 cans of soda a day to reach the doses administered that have shown links to cancer in rodents.

The American Beverage Association also noted that California added the coloring to its list of carcinogens with no studies showing that it causes cancer in humans.

By James Gorman and Christine Kenneally New York Times News Service

Thirty-two years ago, 9week old Azaria Chamberlain disappeared from a campsite in the Australian outback, and her mother’s claim that a dingo took the child caused a storm of public outrage and disbelief.

The saga reached far beyond Australia when it inspired “Cry in the Dark,” a 1988 movie starring Meryl Streep. And as popular culture transmuted tragedy into morbid comedy, a misquote from the movie, “A dingo ate my baby!” caught on, popping up in “Seinfeld,” “The Simpsons” and other shows.

The reason the whole story became so well known, of course, was that in reality it has remained unclear whether the dingo did it. And over the ensuing decades, the human drama and the figure of the dingo, Australia’s enigmatic wild dog, have become entangled. Like the wolf in America, the dingo is a symbol that may mean one thing to hunters or sheep ranchers and another to scientists and nature lovers.

Now the Chamberlain case, and dingoes themselves, are back in the spotlight. On Feb. 24, testimony ended in the fourth coroner’s inquest on Azaria’s death, and the office of the Northwest Territories coroner, which held the inquest, said a ruling would be handed down within the next two months. This time, the Chamberlain family hopes that the coroner will conclude, once and for all, that a dingo killed Azaria.

Lindy Chamberlain, Azaria’s mother, has struggled for years to get such a ruling.

She was originally convicted of killing her child and sent to prison. She was released after three years and acquitted only after Azaria’s jacket was found near a dingo den.

When Azaria disappeared, dingoes were thought to be shy of people, and with no known attacks on humans, it was hard to believe one had been aggressive enough to come into a campground and take a baby from a tent.

But in the past decade or so, there have been a number of reported attacks, some disputed, and one unarguable fatality.

Adrian Peace, an honorary associate professor of anthropology at the University of Queensland, who has studied the change in attitude toward dingoes, said, “The demonization of Mrs. Chamberlain has been replaced by the demonization of the dingo.”

Much of the change, Peace says, comes from public encounters with dingoes on Fraser Island, a nature reserve visited by hundreds of thousands of tourists yearly. Starting in the ‘90s, minor human-dingo incidents started worrying managers of the reserve, and in 2001 two dingoes killed a 9-year-old boy, Clinton Gage, and injured his brother.

“That was really the gamechanger,” Peace said.

There were calls for the ex-

Like the wolf in America, the dingo is a symbol that may mean different things to different groups. In some parts of Australia, dingoes are pests, but in other parts, they are protected. Their status can change with shifts in public opinion.

termination of dingoes on the island, which did not happen, but rangers kill any dingoes believed to pose a danger.

Dingoes are generally classified as a subspecies of wolf, Canis lupus dingo, although in the past they have been classified as a subspecies of dog and as a separate species. Physically, they resemble a generic, medium-size dog, about 40 pounds, usually tan-colored, with pricked ears and a bushy tail.

They do not have some of the physical signs of domestication found in many dog

breeds, like barking as adults.

They breed once a year, like wolves, and when undisturbed they have a stable pack structure topped by one male-female pair, the only ones in the pack that reproduce.

Dingoes came to Australia 3,500 to 5,000 years ago, probably with Asian seafarers and already at least partly domesticated. At the time, people had been on Australia for almost 50,000 years, without dogs.

The dingo quickly became an essential part of Aboriginal life and stories.

Europeans, who brought

sheep with them, did not share the Aboriginal affection for dingoes. They killed them as pests and built a 3,300-mile fence to keep them out of southeastern Australia. The result is a confusion in even the legal status of dingoes.

Whatever the outcome of the coroner’s inquest, and even as new science shows the ecological importance of dingoes, their populations are under some kind of pressure all over Australia.

Arian Wallach, at James Cook University in Queensland, said research has shown that dingoes, as top predators, are essential to preventing “breakouts of opportunistic species” like rabbits and feral cats and should be left alone as much as possible.

But even protected populations are controlled, she said, by shooting, trapping, poisoning — what Wallach calls “persecution.” Killing adults, she says, destroys pack structure and means the young are more likely to kill livestock or cause other problems. They are, she said, like “hooligans,” whereas in a traditional pack, “they’ll have jobs to do; they won’t be unemployed.”

The problem, Wallach said, is that from sheep country to Fraser Island to national parks, “every single population of dingoes that I know of in Australia is persecuted.”

Romney wins one, loses one Bulletin wire reports Rick Santorum won the Kansas caucuses in a rout Saturday and Republican presidential front-runner Mitt Romney countered in Wyoming, a weekend prelude to suddenly pivotal Southern primary showdowns in the week ahead.

“Things have an amazing way of working out,” Santorum told supporters in Missouri, where he traced his campaign through a series of highs and lows. He called his showing in Kansas a “comfortable win.”

Santorum’s victory extended his victories in Midwestern and Southern states, which began in Iowa and included Super Tuesday wins in Ten-

Wyoming and Kansas caucus results Mitt Romney won the dayslong Wyoming caucuses 44 percent to Rick Santorum’s 28 percent but lost Saturday’s Kansas caucuses 21 percent to Santorum’s 51 percent. The other candidates, Newt Gingrich and Ron Paul, barely broke double digits, with Gingrich under 1 percent in Wyoming. (Romney also won three much smaller and largely nonbinding caucus votes, in the U.S. territories of Guam, the Northern Mariana Islands and the U.S. Virgin Islands.)

Santorum picked up 33 of Kansas’ 40 delegates, cutting slightly into Romney’s overwhelming’s advantage. In Wyoming, Romney won seven of the 12 delegates, Santorum

three, Ron Paul one. Uncommitted also won one.

The day’s events unfolded as the candidates pointed toward Tuesday’s primaries in Alabama and Mississippi that loom as unexpectedly important. Polls show a close race in both states, particularly Alabama, where Romney, Gingrich and Santorum all added

Gingrich, struggling for survival in the race, can ill afford a loss in either Mississippi or Alabama. Romney is seeking a Southern breakthrough to demonstrate an ability to win the support of evangelical voters. Santorum hopes to knock Gingrich out of the race and finally emerge as Romney’s sole challenger from the right.

After primaries or caucuses in 26 states and territories, Romney leads with roughly 450 delegates, more than all his rivals combined. Santorum had roughly 200. A candidate must win 1,144 to clinch the Republican presidential nomination at the national convention in Tampa next August.

They waved the flags of opposition parties, in a kaleidoscopic swirl; wore white ribbons that said, “Russia demands change”; and chanted now-familiar refrains: “Russia without Putin!” and “Russia will be free!”

MINAMI-SOMA, Japan — The doctors and nurses at Futaba Hospital pleaded for help as a radioactive plume wafted over their hospital. They had been ordered out but had no vehicles to evacuate the hundreds of patients in their care.

After two days of waiting in the cold with no electricity, help finally came.

Nearly two dozen patients died in the chaotic, daylong odyssey that followed.

Japan’s government says only one person, an overworked employee at the Fukushima Dai-ichi nuclear power plant, died as a result of the worst nuclear disaster since Chernobyl. But one year later, details from a new report and interviews with local authorities show many more perished because of bad planning and miscommunication among government agencies.

In fact, if the calamities that unfolded on March 11, 2011,

But officials in several towns around Japan where nuclear plants are located say they are not confident their emergency plans would work any better than Fukushima’s. They say it could take months and require a complete re-examination of how to approach evacuations for significant improvements to be made.

The breakdown in Japan’s crisis response was most striking in the evacuation of Fukushima’s sick and elderly.

According to a 400-page report released last month by the Independent Fact-Finding Committee on the Fukushima Nuclear Accident — a panel of scholars, lawyers and industry experts — 784 patients were evacuated from six Fukushima hospitals within the 12-mile nogo area. Of 435 at Futaba Hospital and a related senior care center, 21 died either in buses en route to evacuation centers, or in the centers themselves, before they could be admitted to another medical facility.

were to be repeated today, hundreds of thousands of lives would still be at risk, according to mayors, hospital administrators and disaster response officials. They say little has been done to fix systemic planning shortfalls and communication problems among government agencies that compounded that day’s horrors.

“We have set a terrible precedent for the rest of the nation and for any town in the world where nuclear plants are located,” said Katsutaka Idokawa, the mayor of Futaba, one of two towns straddled by the devastated Fukushima facility. “I see this disaster as a meltdown of Japan itself.”

Akinori Kahata, a nuclear disaster management official at Japan’s Nuclear and Industrial Safety Agency, said the government was reviewing its contingency plans — extending the regulations to cover up to 18 miles from a nuclear plant — because of the problems with the Fukushima evacuation, particularly with hospital-

Hearing is Believing

New York Times News Service Barack Obama’s re-election campaign is beginning an intensified effort this week to build support among women, using the debate over the new health care law to amplify an appeal that already appears to be benefitting from partisan clashes over birth control and abortion.

On Monday, mailings will go out to 1 million women in more than a dozen battleground states in three separate versions for mothers, young women and older women, Democratic Party officials said.

And a new website will include links to video testimonials about the health care overhaul signed by Obama in 2010, including from a former critic who subsequently was diagnosed with breast cancer.

Through the month, ending with what the campaign’s headquarters has designated a “Women’s Week of Action,” campaign field offices will organize phone banks, campus activities, house parties and media events featuring local residents helped by the law, officials say.

end Golf Club was for the most part the only golf course in the region for nearly a quarter of a century before Prineville’s first course joined the local golf landscape in the form of six holes located just south of the Ochoco Highway on a hilly piece of Bob Hogan’s land.

Prineville Golf & Country Club would be brutally tough, with tabletop greens that would befuddle golfers (and still do) in a picturesque foothill setting a few miles east of downtown Prineville.

“We have plenty of seagulls down around Portland, but

never see any deer on our courses,” Longworth, then the head professional at Portland’s Waverley Country Club, told The Bulletin in reference to the Prineville course in July 1951.

And once the final three holes were completed by fall 1951, Prineville was on its way to becoming one of the “sportiest courses in Oregon,” Longworth added.

At the same time, Redmond businessman and scratch golfer Fred Sparks was making a push to realize his dream of a golf course in his hometown. After Sparks enlisted the help of a handful of other Redmond golfers, Juniper Golf Club opened on Memorial Day 1952 with a ceremonial drive by Sparks down the first

fairway. (Unlike Prineville, Juniper’s original layout no longer exists. Today’s relocated Juniper opened in 2005.)

Sparks was a force of nature. He was determined to turn a swath of unused former federal land near Redmond’s Roberts Field airport — land he leased from the city — into the golf course. He also converted three abandoned U.S. Air Force barracks into the course’s original clubhouse (which burned down in 1963).

Sparks led a team of 10 to 20 volunteers who, working on weekends in 1950 and 1951, would carve out the golf course. In a 1958 story in The Bulletin, Sparks estimated he put about 5,000 hours of work into building Juniper.

A time for tournaments

By Zack Hall The Bulletin

The 1950s gave birth to two annual golf tournaments in Central Oregon — tournaments that are still being played today.

The Mirror Pond Invitational was started in 1953 by the members of Bend Golf and Country Club, and from the beginning it attracted top amateurs from around the state.

And the (Fred) Hudspeth’s Invitational Pro-Am tournament, now known as the Prineville Invitational, started in 1955 at Prineville Golf & Country Club and drew the best club pros from around Oregon.

Both tournaments reached their pinnacle in popularity in the 1950s and ’60s.

“I always went, and a number of our players went, to the Hudspeth Invitational,” remembers Owen Panner, 87, a former Bend G&CC member who was considered among the best golfers in the region in the 1950s.

“It was a BIG deal,” adds Panner, a federal judge who now lives in Medford.

“We had local pros from all over Oregon, all of them

top-notch players. We had a lot of amateurs come. Fred (Hudspeth) put a lot into that.”

Also a big deal was the Mirror Pond Invitational, which was played over the July Fourth holiday and coincided with Bend’s popular water pageant.

“We had for the Fourth of July pageant (and the Mirror Pond Invitational), we had people from everywhere — out of state, The Dalles, Portland, everywhere — came for that,” Panner recalls. “It was a wonderful show in connection with the float parade that we had on the Deschutes River.”

The Hudspeth tournament was the brainchild of Fred Hudspeth, whose family owned Prineville’s Hudspeth Pine mill that was a force in Oregon’s lumber industry. He was also the brother-in-law of regional tire baron Les Schwab. “(Hudspeth) was a darn good golfer and the nicest guy,” says Bend’s Al Gray, 91, who was a Bend Golf Club member — and Hudspeth’s friend and lawyer. “He had deep pockets, but he was

a very down-to-earth and friendly person.”

At its peak in the late 1950s and 1960s, the pro-am drew hundreds of golfers who would tee off during the day at three separate shotgun start times.

Yet the tournament was at its core a down-home event.

“Margaret (Hudspeth, Fred’s wife) pretty much organized all of the food and those kind of details of the tournament,” says Powell Butte’s Claudia Loveland, 67, who is the daughter of Fred Hudspeth’s brother, Claude.

“The women of the golf club pretty much did all of the cooking. There was no chef out there, or even a cook. It was all volunteer and done by the members.

“People just loved to come because they knew that they were going to have sourdough pancakes one day and my mom’s (Ruth Hudspeth) biscuits another day for breakfast,” Loveland adds. “It was just a big, fun event — almost like a reunion, because you had people from all over the state coming in.”

— Reporter: 541-617-7868, zhall@bendbulletin.com

recalls Redmond’s Everett Reynolds, 88, who once served as Juniper’s superintendent. “Everybody liked Fred. But he was a little overbearing.”

Sparks’ enthusiasm helped get the job done.

Both golf courses — Prineville G&CC and Juniper — were labors of love by the residents of their communities, built largely by armies of local volunteers.

“Everybody in town picked rocks and moved dirt and all those sort of things to build the place, so it didn’t cost a whole lot,” says Redmond’s John Hodecker, 78, who is still a member at Juniper and whose father donated fertilizer and other items to the course.

Hands-on work by the members was not out of the ordinary at any of Central Oregon’s three golf clubs in the 1950s.

“Every spring we had a work weekend when we all brought our picks and shovels and axes and cleared back from the fairways the sagebrush,” recalls former Bend resident Owen Panner, who won 10 club championships at Bend Golf Club in the 1950s.

(Now 87, Panner lives in Medford, where he still serves as a federal judge.)

Al Gray, a 91-year-old retired lawyer and, since 1949, a member at Bend Golf and Country Club, recalls that a prominent Bend physician of the day, Bob Cutter, preferred the work over the golf.

“I think he longed to be a rancher or a farmer,” Gray remembers about Cutter. “He really didn’t play golf. But, boy, he put a lot of time in at work parties. He loved to run the equipment.”

And support from the well-to-do was part of the formula for the local golf courses’ development.

“Les Schwab (founder of the tire centers that bear his name) did a lot of little things, as well as Fred Hudspeth,

Redmond businessman Fred Sparks was the driving force in the creation of Juniper Golf Club, which opened in 1952.

In a 1958 Bulletin story recounting the building of Juniper, Sparks estimated that he put about 5,000 hours of work into the club’s creation.

ach of Central Oregon’s three golf clubs was the center of its members’ social world, longtime members say.

The Bend club swelled to nearly 200 members by the 1950s, according to BG&CC records. Prineville G&CC quickly grew to 100 members by 1950, and Juniper — Central Oregon’s only public course until Nine Peaks Golf Club (now Desert Peaks) opened as a six-hole course in Madras in 1958 — started with 72 members, according to Bulletin archives.

Members ranged from elite businessmen such as tire magnate Schwab in Prineville to millworkers at all three area courses. But most got along, members recall.

“No matter what their social standing, it was just a big family group,” Claudia Loveland says of the atmosphere at Prineville G&CC back in the day. “Everybody got along well together. They made it work and made it fun.”

While the clubs’ memberships consisted largely of the region’s most affluent residents, Panner says the clubs then were democratic regardless of a member’s socioeconomic status.

“In the days when I first came, Bend was a wonderful mixture,” Panner recalls. “We Continued next page

THROUGH THE 1960s

The region’s best golfers

By Zack Hall The Bulletin

Al Gray, 91, a member at Bend Golf and Country Club since 1949, is the longest-tenured member of any of Central Oregon’s three oldest clubs. Gray, a retired lawyer who still plays golf three times a week, has fond memories of the game in the 1950s and ’60s, including watching legendary golf pro Ben Hogan play Bend G&CC. Rob Kerr The Bulletin

From previous page had millworkers playing with the president of the big sawmill. Redmond, I think, was the same way.”

In the 1950s, little in remote Central Oregon resembled the area today.

Panner recalls Bend still being more Old West than modern midsize city. He remembers the town was home to two brothels and to slot machines, and that “the gambling ran wild.”

“The (police) officers knew what was going on, but they let it go,” Panner says. “It was a different world.”

Central Oregon was hardly a thriving metropolis at the middle of last century — Deschutes County had fewer than 22,000 residents in 1950, according to the U.S. Census,

and Crook County fewer than 9,000. But some big names in the entertainment and sports worlds found their way here, including famed comedian Jack Benny and golf legend Ben Hogan. Both played golf at Bend Golf Club.

“I swear, on the fourth hole (which is now No. 17), he (Hogan) hit a ball that sliced, then hooked,” Gray recalls of the day the golf icon played nine holes at Bend. “It was just a mile off the tee and in perfect condition. I will never forget how well he hit that ball.”

In the 1950s, Central Oregon’s golf clubs interacted often with one another. Homeand-away tournaments with each club were common.

Few golfers know the region’s golf courses as well as Wilkinson, considered by

many to be the best golfer this region has ever produced.

Wilkinson grew up playing the courses in Bend, Prineville and Redmond, and became the head pro at Prineville in the 1970s and at Bend Golf and Country Club in the 1980s.

All the area clubs built regionally strong reputations, recalls Wilkinson, a well-known teaching pro who currently works summers at Broken Top Club in Bend.

“The perfect look would be Bend, because it was all treelined fairways, and the holes didn’t border one another,” Wilkinson reflects. “But as far as difficulty, Prineville was harder. And Juniper was in between somewhere there.”

— Reporter: 541-617-7868, zhall@bendbulletin.com

With only 36,000 residents in Deschutes, Crook and Jefferson counties combined, Central Oregon circa 1950 was no metropolis.

Yet plenty of fine golf was being played in these parts in the 1950s and ’60s.

“A lot of great players come from Central Oregon,” says Jim Wilkinson, a 67year-old teaching pro who grew up in Redmond.

Wilkinson should know. A two-time junior college AllAmerica golfer at Central Oregon Community College in the 1960s and a Senior PGA Tour player in the 1990s, he is considered by many to be the best golfer this region has ever produced.

So who else was among the best?

One was Prineville’s George Beechler. A mortician by trade, Beechler won the 1955 Oregon Amateur Championship and reached the final of the United States Golf Association’s U.S. Senior Amateur Championship in 1965 and 1966 before moving to California in 1968.

“He (Beechler) was a great player — way, way better than people realize,” Wilkinson insists. “He is probably, other than myself, the best player who ever came out of Central Oregon.”

Owen Panner, a former University of Oklahoma golfer who moved to Bend in 1949, was considered among the elite players in the area while dominating Bend Golf Club with 10 consecutive club championships beginning in 1951.

Panner, 87 years old and still serving as a federal judge in Medford, played often through the ’50s, but he largely quit the game shortly thereafter. “My daughter one night at dinner said, ‘Dad, you’re not very popular out there,’ ” Panner recalls. He asked his daughter why she would say that. “She said, ‘Well, you’ve

just won too long.’ ” But Panner had plenty of scratch golfers among his competitors.

Prineville lumberman Fred Hudspeth and Madras’ Millard Porter, who won the 1962 Mirror Pond Invitational, frequently competed in the most important local tournaments, according to The Bulletin archives. The five Close brothers, all of whom were founding members of Prineville, often contended at the Hudspeth Invitational.

Redmond’s Everett Reynolds, who served as Juniper Golf Club’s superintendent for most of the 1960s, was a scratch golfer himself and multiple winner of Juniper’s club championship.

Bend’s Mike Currie, a

member of a prominent golfing family (younger brother Phil won the 1977 Pac-8 Conference championship for the University of Oregon), won two of his four Mirror Pond titles in the 1960s.

Earl Boothe might have been unique among Central Oregon’s scratch players and a symbol for Juniper Golf Club’s humble beginnings.

“He was one of those kind of guys that you didn’t want to get into a money game with,” recalls Reynolds, 88, who was a friend and frequent playing partner of Boothe’s. “He’d come in wearing bib overalls and looking like he didn’t know nothing. And then he’d go out and whip ya.”

Immigration falls; tensions don’t

Jon Weber, of Bend, left, is joined by Port of Brookings Harbor Director Ted Fitzgerald and other Brookings residents Friday morning as Weber nears the end of his tribute trek for his son, a victim of last year’s tsunami. Dustin Weber, who was 25, is pictured on his shirt.

Tribute Continued from A1 Weber said he will run the last few miles up Requa Hill to where Dustin had been living, then down to the beach where a wave swept him away.

The Tribute Run and Ride 2012 has been an emotional journey, the men said. They’re also fundraising to help underprivileged children do what they aspire to, such as sports or music. Both Dustin and Jared were athletes.

“The main objective is to keep them off the streets,” Weber said.

Weber decided to do something physically challenging to honor his son.

“Dustin was physical,” Weber said. “What could I do to pay tribute to Dustin? I could take his ashes home.”

Baker had heard about what happened to Dustin and recognized the pain of losing a child.

“Anytime anyone loses a

Facebook Continued from A1 The company was lured to Oregon, in part, by the tax break connected to Prineville’s enterprise zone. But last year, the Oregon Department of Revenue informed officials the facility could be assessed centrally, possibly leading to a hefty tax bill.

For a company worth billions, the campaign contribution tab leading up to the February session was minuscule: $10,000. But as Facebook continues to expand in the state, it’s an amount that is likely to increase.

“Facebook contributes to legislators throughout the country who support technology and innovation,” the company said in a statement. “We have a large physical presence in Oregon, and as a result we’ve worked to build strong relationships in the state.”

Only two Democrats currently make the list, CoSpeaker of the House Arnie Roblan, of Coos Bay, and House Democratic Leader Tina Kotek, of Portland.

Roblan received $1,500, and Kotek $1,000. (Their GOP counterparts, Co-Speaker Bruce Hanna, of Roseburg, and House Republican Leader

child, it’s really tough,” Baker said.

Weber said that while he’s lost close family members — his mother, brothers — “nothing compares to losing a child.

It’s heart-wrenching.”

“I was so proud of him,” Weber said, speaking about how Dustin had turned his life around from drugs. “He went through his struggles and pulled through.”

Weber’s mother died shortly after learning Dustin’s body had been found in Astoria.

Still, “Amazing things have happened since he’s been gone,” said Weber, who has brought along some of the ashes to leave in Klamath.

Walking around a park in Bend, Weber happened to meet the officer who picked Dustin’s body off the beach in Astoria — he was in town for search and rescue training. And, as Weber sat on that beach in Astoria, he saw a bald eagle — which he deems a sign

of good luck — and hasn’t seen one since.

When Baker, who knew Weber casually, heard he was putting together a tribute run, he decided, “I’d like to do something like that.”

He only started bicycle training in late December.

Baker, whose trek for his own son started just over the Oregon border in Washington, made it his mission to make it to the California border and then on to Klamath with Weber.

Reaching California, Baker said, was an emotional moment, as he had ridden the entire length of Oregon for his son.

Dustin was the only person killed by the tsunami in the United States. Today, Weber will reach the beach where the wave took his son away.

Donations for underprivileged children can be made to the Tribute Run accounts at U.S. Bank and Bank of the Cascades in Oregon.

Kevin Cameron, of Salem, also received contributions — $1,500 for Hanna and $1,000 for Cameron.) “(Facebook) did their homework. They worked with people, they wrote the bill well, and as a result there was not a lot of controversy with the legislation in February,” said Kotek, the Democratic leader. “It shows how you should work a bill before you come into session and shows the importance of annual sessions.”

Local lawmakers Rep. Mike McLane, R-Powell Butte, who pushed the legislation, benefited to the tune of $1,000, as did Sen. Chris Telfer, R-Bend, and Sen. Doug Whitsett, RKlamath Falls.

McLane said he pushed the legislation first and received the $1,000 later.

“I never talked to Facebook about any donations,” he said.

“That showed up, and I was grateful for the contribution.

At that point, I had already drafted the bill.”

In Oregon, there is no limit on campaign contributions.

The money helps lawmakers fuel their campaigns, pay for advertisements and help offset travel costs.

McLane said $1,000 is a nice bump, but to put it in

perspective, since the end of the last legislative session and the start of the February session, he had raised about $32,500.

“The (donation) didn’t change anything,” McLane said. “I did what I did to keep Oregon in the game with data centers … to keep construction ongoing in Prineville, and that’s the most important thing.”

Facebook officials also donated to two Republican lawmakers who held key committee assignments. Rep. Katie Eyre, of Hillsboro, and Rep. Matt Wand, of Troutdale, each received $1,000. The two lawmakers sit on the House Revenue Committee.

Other companies interested in the issue of central assessment donated along similar lines. For example, Comcast gave $10,000 this year, and Yahoo donated $7,500 in 2011.

For Facebook, there was a lot riding on the short session. “(It) was critical for Facebook and other data center operators with properties located in local enterprise zones in Oregon to have the clarity and certainty they need to do business here,” Facebook officials said in a statement.

PHOENIX — The impact of steep declines in the number of migrants illegally crossing the border with Mexico in recent years has rippled across Arizona and other border states, with federal and local law enforcement seeing big drops in crime related to illegal immigration.

In Arizona, federal agents have found far fewer drop houses, where smugglers stash border crossers. Police chiefs from Arizona cities say their crime rates are low and are falling, as are the numbers and costs of illegal immigrants coming through their jails.

Federal officials met with state and local police departments Tuesday and Wednesday at the Border Security Expo in the convention hall in downtown Phoenix.

They broadly agreed that the decrease in illegal crossers — down to about 340,000 migrants apprehended in 2011 from a peak of 1.1 million in 2005 — has brought a lighter workload for the police, but has also brought worrisome changes in the type of crimes they confront.

While they no longer see huge flows of illegal migrants heading for work in the United States, federal and local officials said, they now faced smaller numbers of more determined and potentially more dangerous crossers, including migrants carrying illegal drugs.

Sharp differences, even tension, arose between federal officials, who pointed to statistics and charts showing plummeting illegal entries as the border was reinforced over in the last five years, and some local officers, particularly sheriffs who patrol the open spaces of desert counties along the international line.

“We’ve got a lot of rural county, a lot of ranch families, and a lot of those people are living in fear every day,” said Rodney Rothrock, chief deputy sheriff of Cochise County, along Arizona’s southeastern border with Mexico.

In a bright hall next door to

the law enforcement conclave, dozens of technology vendors were offering the latest military-style tools to make the border even more secure. Contractors large and small displayed radar devices that can see through walls, thermal imaging cameras mounted on mobile masts that retract in seconds and unmanned drone boats to scout rivers too perilous for human navigation.

The face-off between state and federal officials started with an opening speech Tuesday by Arizona’s governor, Jan Brewer, who called federal border enforcement an “overarching outrage.” Brewer, a Republican, is leading Arizona’s legal fight against the Obama administration over a state law that would give the police new powers to arrest anyone suspected of being an illegal immigrant.

“No amount of distortion can hide the absolute truth,” she said, “For years, Washington has stood idly by, letting our borders grow more porous and more dangerous.”

Matthew Allen, the special agent in charge of investigations for Immigration and Customs Enforcement in the state, said 51 migrant smugglers’ drop houses were raided in Phoenix last year, down from a peak of 186 in 2008.

About 800 illegal migrants were arrested in those raids in 2011, compared with about 3,200 migrants in 2008.

The police chief of Mesa, just east of Phoenix, said the crime rate there was the lowest since the 1960s. The chief, Frank Milstead, said that only about 2 percent of 17,900 people arrested in Mesa last year were suspected of being here illegally. “The operational impact on our jails,” he said, “is minimal.”

Raymond Cobos, the sheriff of Luna County, 3,000 square miles of border scrublands and sierras next door in New Mexico, said his deputies now arrested an average of eight illegal immigrants a day, down from a daily average of about 300 three years ago.

Rothrock also acknowledged a new reality. In 2010,

he said, more than 300 illegal crossers detained by the Border Patrol were turned over to the Cochise County sheriff because they were wanted for crimes in the United States.

Last year, he said, the number of illegal crossers with open warrants was seven.

But he warned that Cochise deputies were beginning to encounter “a different type of illegal alien”: migrants alone or in small groups toting backpacks loaded with marijuana or methamphetamine.

Those migrants often plan to hand off the narcotics to a courier and return quickly to Mexico, he said.

“A lot of times they take the opportunity to help themselves to the citizens’ property,” Rothrock said.

Jeffrey Scott Kirkham, the police chief in Nogales, the busiest legal port of entry in Arizona, said his crime rate was very low, with two homicides in the last seven years.

But in an arrest that shocked Kirkham, a high school student recently found with nearly four pounds of heroin, worth an estimated $80,000, in his backpack.

Federal investigators also reported “an alarming increase” in attacks by migrants on border agents, according to James Turgal, the FBI’s special agent in charge in Arizona. In 2011, the agency opened investigations of nearly 500 assaults on federal officers along the Arizona border, from rockthrowing to shootings. That was more than four times the 117 assaults in 2008, he said.

Federal officials said they were confident that progress would continue, since handling fewer illegal migrants means they can devote more agents and surveillance equipment on stopping drug trafficking.

But even optimists urged caution. “The primary magnet that draws people across our border from Mexico is employment,” said Allen of Immigration and Customs Enforcement. “I think we all recognize that the real test for us is going to come when the economy turns around in a very significant way.”

SYRIA

With peace denied, talk of combat • Assad won’t meet with opposition groups; Western military help is now a serious option

By Karen DeYoung The Washington Post

The Obama administration and its allies and international partners have begun serious discussions about potential military involvement in Syria, even as they continue to press for nonviolent solutions to the carnage there.

With little progress made in the two weeks since 70 countries and global institutions pledged in Tunis to concentrate their efforts on humanitarian and diplomatic fronts, there is a growing willingness to consider additional options.

Possibilities include directly arming opposition forces, sending troops to guard a humanitarian corridor or “safe zone” for the rebels, or an air assault on Syrian air defenses, according to officials from the United States and other nations opposed to Syrian President Bashar Assad.

But the governments remain deeply divided over the scope of any intervention, how and when it would happen, and who would participate.

With Russia still opposed to

PTSD Continued from A1 But back to Chapman’s group. It was difficult for anyone to acknowledge suffering from post-traumatic stress disorder in so public a setting, said Chapman, 45, who later underwent four years of therapy for symptoms such as flashbacks from the incessant mortar and rocket attacks on the logistics base in Balad where she served.

The Pentagon still has “no consistent diagnosis, no consistent tools and different levels of professionals” working on solutions, Sen. Patty Murray, chairman of the Senate Veterans Affairs Committee, said in an interview.

In an effort to change that, the military says it’s trying to find cases sooner by embedding therapists in combat units and spending $40 million to study 20 treatments, some of which may work within weeks. Among them is a therapy that sends some troops on a 45-minute trip through a Walmart store.

Big-box retailers, movie theaters and restaurants are “often busy and noisy, and some people may be hidden behind things — and all those are perceived as dangerous” by warriors who dodged roadside bombs and watched buddies die in Iraq or Afghanistan, said Alan Peterson, director of a Pentagon-funded project at the University of Texas Health Science Center in San Antonio.

Doctors in the program sometimes recommend that soldiers confront their fears by visiting a Walmart location and staying until anxieties “fade away on their own,” Peterson said.

The South Texas Research Organizational Network Guiding Studies on Trauma and Resilience, or Strong Star, headed

by Peterson, is conducting the 20 studies on potential treatments. The program, begun in 2008, is aimed primarily at active-duty military personnel.

While the military brass realize that PTSD is “the signature wound” of the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan, “there’s a cultural issue within the Defense Department that makes it extremely difficult” to diagnose and treat troops, said Murray, D-Wash. “There’s a culture of ‘man up’ that continues to send signals to soldiers that a mental health diagnosis is not something they should own up to.”

“Frankly, we have not learned how to effectively deal with that, and we have to,” Defense Secretary Leon Panetta said at a Feb. 28 hearing of Murray’s committee.

The Army suspended the head of the Madigan Army Medical Center at Joint Base Lewis-McChord in Washington state last month in a dispute over whether PTSD diagnoses were being withheld.

A psychiatrist at the center had cautioned against “rubber-stamping” cases as PTSD, saying that a soldier diagnosed with the condition may receive

a United Nations mandate, many question the legitimacy of any military options under international law.

On Saturday, Syria launched a long-anticipated assault to crush the opposition in the rebellious north on Saturday, bombarding its main city with tank shells from all sides and clashing with rebel fighters struggling to hold back an invasion. Assad rejected any immediate negotiations with the opposition, striking a further blow to already staggering international efforts for talks to end to the conflict. Assad told U.N. envoy Kofi Annan that a political solution is impossible as long as “terrorist groups” threaten the country.

U.S. officials say their strategy remains focused on humanitarian aid and organizing the Syrian opposition. But hopes are fading that the opposition will provide a united front sufficient to merit international recognition, as happened in Libya, or that Assad can be persuaded to yield.

There is widespread agreement that the threat to re-

gional and international stability increases with each day that passes, as more civilians are killed in ever more brutal ways, with no progress toward a peaceful transition.

“The longer this goes on, the deeper the sectarian divisions, the higher the risks of longterm sectarian conflict, the higher the risk of extremist” involvement, Jeffrey Feltman, the State Department’s senior diplomat for the region, told Congress last week.

At the same Senate hearing, Gen. James Mattis, head of the U.S. Central Command, known as Centcom, said that the replacement of Assad with a democratic government would be “the biggest strategic setback” in 25 years for Iran, Assad’s other principal ally.

In broad terms, other options include establishment of an internationally protected “safe zone” along Turkey’s 500-mile border with Syria, where humanitarian and military aid would be assembled and opposition military forces organized, or a Libya-like air assault to destroy Syria’s formidable air defenses.

Does the label PTSD carry a stigma?

Some in the military have questioned whether the name “posttraumatic stress disorder,” designated by the American Psychiatric Association in 1980, carries its own stigma that discourages service members from seeking help and brands them as unstable.

Gen. Pete Chiarelli, who retired at the end of January as the Army’s vice chief of staff, said the designation should be changed to “post-traumatic stress injury.” For some people, “if you label them as having a disorder, somehow it makes it sound like it’s a pre-existing condition or that they’re a weaker person,” he said.

As an alternative to changing the name, the psychiatric association is considering creating a separate category for PTSD that results from combat stress, said John Oldham, the group’s president and chief of staff at the Menninger Clinic in Houston.

The new combat category may be included next year in the fifth edition of the association’s Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders, which is used to determine how patients are diagnosed and treated and what insurers will cover.

In addition to being used for those suffering the mental wounds of war, PTSD is a diagnosis for victims of rape or witnesses to murder. The condition follows events that cause intense fear and helplessness, and it can develop shortly after the event or take several years, according to the psychiatric association’s website.

The symptoms may include re-experiencing the traumatic event through nightmares, obsessive thoughts and flashbacks that may lead people to avoid situations or objects reminding them of the original events, according to the association. About 7.7 million Americans are affected by PTSD in a given year, according to the National Institutes of Health.

Not everyone is convinced that changing the name or reclassifying the illness for soldiers is even the first step toward dealing with inadequate treatment.

Labeling a mental illness a disorder sometimes is helpful, said Lisa Jaycox, a researcher at the Rand Corp. in Arlington, Va. In the case of depression, calling it a disorder has helped patients get treatment, because the designation changed the illness from “something that’s wrong with you to a medical problem that is treatable,” she said.

as much as $1.5 million during his or her lifetime and the costs could bankrupt the Army and Veterans Affairs Department, according to a memo from an Army ombudsman provided

by Murray’s office.

Treating a veteran for PTSD and related conditions costs an average of $8,300 in the first year and $4,200 in the second, according to a February report by the Congressional Budget Office.

The military has 88,817 cases of PTSD among active-duty personnel after more than a decade of wars, according to Peter Graves, a spokesman for the Defense Department’s Office of Health Affairs. An additional 223,609 veterans have been seen for the condition, according to the Department of Veterans Affairs.

About 21 percent of Iraq and Afghanistan veterans who sought medical treatment from 2004 to 2009 were diagnosed with PTSD, the Congressional Budget Office said in a February report. The Rand Corp. estimated in 2008 that 20 percent of those who served in the wars met the criteria for PTSD. Army suicides rose 80 per-

cent from 2004 to 2008 after the deployments to Iraq and Afghanistan, according to a report published in the journal Injury Prevention on a study by the U.S. Army Public Health Command.

A soldier with an amputated limb is seen as a hero, “but you see someone diagnosed with PTSD and say, ‘What’s wrong with them?’ ” said Chapman, the former Washington National Guard soldier, who went on to be trained as a therapist and is now a Seattle-based senior manager for a combatstress recovery program with the Wounded Warrior Project, a Jacksonville, Fla.-based advocacy group.

Visiting a Walmart or another crowded spot is part of a treatment for PTSD called prolonged exposure therapy that encourages a patient to recount traumatic events that cause flashbacks, Peterson of the Strong Star group said.

The benefits of 10 such therapeutic sessions within either two or eight weeks are being studied, and the early results suggest the treatments are so effective that some active-duty military personnel have been able to return to war zones, Peterson said. About 360 military personnel are getting the exposure therapy, he said.

Greg Rossiter, a spokesman for Wal-Mart of Bentonville, Ark., the world’s largest retailer, had no comment on the store visits as a treatment.

A second treatment called cognitive processing therapy is being tested with an additional 400 warriors.

In this approach, a therapist helps patients see how traumatic events have affected

Only the United States is seen as capable of organizing and sustaining the most extreme alternative: establishment of a no-fly zone or direct air protection. U.S. defense officials have said it would take weeks to prepare for any such move, and additional weeks to execute it. Large numbers of aircraft and personnel would need to be moved from other areas of operation.

A Security Council resolution is the gold standard for any intervention. But international lawyers have been reviewing other options. When Russia vetoed Security Council resolutions during the Korean War, the U.N. General Assembly determined it could circumvent a deadlocked council by a two-thirds vote.

NATO intervened without U.N. authorization in bombing Serbia during the 1999 Kosovo war, a conflict that pro-intervention lawmakers have cited as a template. Panetta said last week he thought NATO should take up the Syria issue, but on Saturday, a senior NATO official said that is unlikely.

their lives, such as constant self-blame for not having done more to save a fellow warrior on the battlefield. In later sessions, the therapist helps warriors understand such unhelpful thinking patterns and ways to challenge such self-doubt.

If larger studies validate the results of the therapies, which may take two more years, the military may be able to treat troops suffering from battlefield trauma within weeks after it manifests itself, Peterson said.

While treatments are improving, the “biggest issue is that a majority of service members and veterans don’t come to see us, and those who do come don’t complete care or drop out,” said Charles Hoge, a former psychiatrist at the Army’s Walter Reed Medical Center and author of the book, “Once a Warrior — Always a Warrior.”

The military is trying to attach mental health personnel to deployed units in an effort “to lower the bar to seek help,” according to Navy Capt. Paul Hammer.

“When you look at PTSD, what 10 years of war has taught people is you don’t go to war and come back unchanged,” said Hammer, director of the Pentagon’s Defense Centers of Excellence for Psychological Health and Traumatic Brain Injury. “If you did, you would be a sociopath. In some cases, people are affected deeply.”

The Pentagon is also running a “Real Warriors” campaign of television and Web ads featuring military personnel who have sought treatment for PTSD without damage to their military or post-retirement civilian careers.

The goal of the campaign is to show that “it takes courage to buck the trend and say, ‘Yes, I had a problem, and I sought treatment,’ ” Hammer said.

Michael Joseph carries his daughter to his re-enlistment ceremony aboard the USS Enterprise, docked in Norfolk, Va., on Thursday. The ship begins its final deployment today.

‘The Big E,’ a storied carrier, on final voyage

By Brock Vergakis The Associated Press

NORFOLK, Va. — When the makers of “Top Gun” were filming on board the USS Enterprise, they donated a set of black fuzzy dice to liven up the ship’s otherwise drab interior.

A quarter-century later, the dice will still be dangling inside the tower of “the Big E” as the world’s first nuclear-powered aircraft carrier sets sail on its final voyage today.

The trinket is a reminder of the ship’s storied 50-year history that includes action in several wars, a prominent role in the Cuban missile crisis and serving as a spotter ship for John Glenn’s historic orbit of the earth.

“To serve on this ship, certainly in this capacity, you certainly have to be a student of the ship’s history,” said Rear Adm. Walter Carter, commander of the Enterprise strike group.

“Fifty years of service, in our nation’s history, we’ve never had a warship in service that long.”

The Enterprise is the longest aircraft carrier in the U.S. fleet.

It is also the oldest, a distinction that brings pride as well as plenty of headaches for the ship’s more than 4,000 crew members. The ship is effectively a small city that frequently needs repairs because of its age. It was originally designed to last 25 years, but a major overhaul in 1979 and other improvements have extended its life.

The Enterprise is heading to the Middle East on its sevenmonth deployment, where it will be on standby in case of conflict with Iran or piracy threats off Somalia, among other things.

2 Palestinians killed in Israeli airstrikes schools throughout the area and Ben-Gurion University in Beer Sheva were closed because of the violence. Rosenfeld said police stepped up their presence in southern Israel.

The military claims more casualties were averted because Iron Dome missile defense batteries intercepted 90 percent of the rockets they targeted.

Israel and Gaza militants have frequently traded lowlevel fire since the 2009 war, but a flare-up of this intensity is rare.

Hamas has largely avoided direct attacks on Israel since the Jewish state conducted a bruising three-week war against the militant group in early 2009 that killed hundreds of Gazans and destroyed many Hamas facilities. But the Iranian-backed militant group has been smuggling increasingly sophisticated weapons into the seaside territory and Israel holds it responsible for all violence emanating from Gaza.

Israeli Foreign Minister Avigdor Lieberman told Israel Radio today there was no point in Israel’s launching another largescale offensive in Gaza unless it sets out to topple the Hamas regime. Lieberman wouldn’t say whether such an operation was planned but noted that the violence from Gaza was “unacceptable and we won’t reconcile ourselves to it.”

Brewster Kahle, founder of the Internet Archive, hopes to eventually collect 10 million items in the Richmond, Calif., warehouse of the Physical Archive of the Internet Archive. The warehouse has started taking in films as well.

Books Continued from A1 Destined for immortality one recent day were “American Indian Policy in the 20th Century,” “All New Crafts for Halloween,” “The Portable Faulkner,” “What to Do When Your Son or Daughter Divorces” and “Temptation’s Kiss,” a romance.

“We want to collect one copy of every book,” said Brewster Kahle, who has spent $3 million to buy and operate this repository situated just north of San Francisco. “You can never tell what is going to paint the portrait of a culture.”

A Silicon Valley entrepreneur who made his fortune selling a data-mining company to Amazon.com in 1999, Kahle founded and runs the Internet Archive, a nonprofit organization devoted to preserving webpages — 150 billion so far — and making texts more widely available.

But even though he started his archiving in the digital realm, he now wants to save physical texts, too.

“We must keep the past even as we’re inventing a new future,” he said. “If the Library of Alexandria had made a copy of every book and sent it to India or China, we’d have the other works of Aristotle, the other plays of Euripides.

One copy in one institution is not good enough.”

An idea is born Kahle had the idea for the physical archive while working on the Internet Archive, which has digitized 2 million books. With a deep dedication to traditional printing — one of his sons is named Caslon, after the 18th-century type designer — he abhorred the notion of throwing out a book once it had been scanned. The volume that yielded the digital copy was special.

And perhaps essential.

What if, for example, digitization improves and we need to copy the books again?

“Microfilm and microfiche were once a utopian vision of access to all information,” Kahle noted, “but it turned out we were very glad we kept the books.”

An obvious model for the repository is the Svalbard Global Seed Vault, which is buried in the Norwegian permafrost and holds 740,000 seed samples as a safety net for biodiversity. But the repository is also an outgrowth of notions that Kahle, 51, has had his entire career.

“There used to be all these different models of what the

Brewster Kahle is the founder of the Internet Archive. “We want to collect one copy of every book. You can never tell what is going to paint the portrait of a culture.”

Internet was going to be, and one of them was the great library that would offer universal access to all knowledge,” he said. “I’m still working on it.”

Kahle’s partners and suppliers in the effort, the Physical Archive of the Internet Archive, are very glad someone is saving the books — as long as it is not them.

The public library in Burlingame, 35 miles to the south, had a room full of bound periodicals stretching back decades.

“Only two people a month used it,” said Patricia Harding, the city librarian. “We needed to repurpose the space.”

Three hundred linear feet of Scientific American, Time, Vogue and other periodicals went off to the repository. The room became a computer lab.

“A lot of libraries are doing pretty drastic weeding,” said Judith Russell, the University of Florida’s dean of libraries, who is sending the archive duplicate scholarly volumes. “It’s very much more palatable to us and our faculty that books are being sent out to a useful purpose rather than just recycled.”

As the repository expands — from about 500,000 volumes today toward its goal of 10 million — so does its range. It has just started taking in films.

“Most films are as ephemeral as popcorn,” said Rick Prelinger, the Internet Archive’s movie expert. “But as time passes, the works we tried to junk often prove more interesting than the ones we chose to save.”

At Penn State University, librarians realized that most of their 16-millimeter films were never being checked out and that there was nowhere to store them properly. So the university sent 5,411 films here, including “Introducing the Mentally

Retarded” (1964), “We Have an Addict in the House” (1973) and “Ovulation and Egg Transport in the Rat” (1951).

“Otherwise they probably would have ended up in a landfill,” said William Bishop, Penn State’s director of media and technology support services.

The Geneva appearance is part of an NAACP strategy rooted in the 1940s and 1950s, when the group looked to the United Nations and the international community for support in its domestic battle for civil rights for blacks and against lynching.

“It was in 1947 that W.E.B. Du Bois delivered his speech and appealed to the world at the U.N.,” NAACP president Benjamin Todd Jealous said Thursday. “Now, like then, the principal concern is voting rights.

Not everyone appreciates Kahle’s vision. One of the first comments on the Internet Archive’s site after the project was announced in June came from a writer who said he did not want the archive to retain “any of my work in any form whatsoever.”

Even some librarians are unsure of the need for a repository beyond the Library of Congress.

“I think the probability of a massive loss of digital information, and thus the potential need to redigitize things, is lower than Brewster thinks,” said Michael Lesk, former chairman of the department of library and information science at Rutgers. But he conceded that “it’s not zero.”

If serious “1984”-style trouble does arrive, Lesk said, it might come as “all Internet information falls under the control of either governments or copyright owners.” But he made clear he thought that was unlikely.

Under a heated tent in the warehouse’s western corner the other day, Tracey Gutierres, a digital records specialist, worked on a new batch. If a volume has a bar code, she scans it to see if the title is already in the repository. If there is no bar code, she checks the International Standard Book Number on the copyright page. If the book is really old, she puts it aside for manual processing.

Supporters of the new laws say the action by the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People is a curious move, but one that isn’t likely to produce tangible results.

Since last year, 15 states have passed new voting laws; currently 38 states, including some of those 15, are weighing legislation to require people to show government-approved photo identification or provide proof of citizenship before casting their ballots.

Pushback

NA ACP to challenge state voting laws at U.N. McClatchy Newspapers WASHINGTON — Taking a page from its past, the NAACP will go before a United Nations panel in Switzerland this week to argue that new voting laws approved by some U.S. states violate civil and human rights by suppressing the votes of minorities and others.

A delegation from the civil rights organization will present its case in Geneva on Wednesday before the United Nations Human Rights Council, a body that normally addresses troubles in places such as Libya, Syria and the Ivory Coast.

Before the books make it the 150 feet to the shipping containers for storage, some will have to travel 12,000 miles to China. The Chinese, who are keen to build a digital library, will scan the books for themselves and the archive and then send them back. The digital texts will be available for the visually impaired and other legal purposes.

As word about the repository has spread, families are making their own donations.

Carmelle Anaya had no idea what to do with the 1,200 books her father, Eric Larson, left when he died. Then she heard about the project. “He’d be thrilled to think they would be archived so maybe someone could check them out a hundred years from now,” said Anaya, who lives in California’s Central Valley.

Her daughter Ashley designed a special bookplate.

Any readers across the centuries will know where the copies came from. “The books will live on,” Anaya said, “even if the people can’t.”

GAZA CITY, Gaza Strip — Israeli airstrikes killed a 12-year-old boy and a militant in the Gaza Strip early today while militants fired six rockets from Gaza into southern Israel, officials said, deepening the worst round of violence between the sides in more than a year.

The Israeli military said its aircraft targeted rocket launchers and Gaza health official Adham Abu Salmia confirmed witness reports of the Palestinian dead, as the exchanges of fire entered their third day.

Israeli police spokesman Micky Rosenfeld said the rocket fire caused no injuries or damage.

Israel has killed 17 Gazans in 18 airstrikes and Gaza militants have fired more than 110 rockets at Israel, seriously wounding a civilian, since the clashes erupted Friday with an Israeli air attack that killed the commander of a militant group.

Israel accused Zuhair alQaissi of plotting an infiltration attack into Israel from Egypt’s lawless Sinai peninsula, similar to the one they claim he orchestrated in August, which killed eight Israelis. His militant group, the Hamas-allied Popular Resistance Committees, has never taken responsibility for that raid.

The network of mountain bike trails taking shape in the desert east of Redmond is officially called the Northeast Redmond Trail Complex. But the nickname applied to the trail system is expected to be the name that will stick.

The Radlands.

Saturday, about 60 people gathered at the Radlands to chop through sagebrush and pry up rocks, building about a mile of trail and linking two trails that previously led only to dead ends.

Project manager Tom Holt said closing a complete loop for the first time was a significant milestone.

“Today is like the golden spike,” Holt said.

The Radlands project is a collaborative effort bringing together the Central Oregon Trails Alliance, the Redmond Area Parks and Recreation District, and corporate sponsors Trinity Bikes, REI and Altrec.com.

Volunteers have received additional assistance from local inmate work release crews and students at the Oregon National Guard Youth ChalleNGe school in Bend.

The trail system begins at the High Desert Sports Complex on Maple Avenue, home to the Smith Rock BMX racetrack.

Chicken roulade stuffed with hazelnuts and pears, a soufflé with goat cheese crisps, tournéed root vegetables, and pan-seared chicken with au jus.

All made to perfection. All made in just one hour.

That’s what Lyndsay Burginger, 20, has been practicing for the past six weeks: for that one hour, when Burginger will compete to be the American Culinary Federation’s Western region student chef of the year.

“I feel really proud that I’ll be able to compete and get our school’s name out there,” she said.

Burginger is a second-

year student at the Cascade Culinary Institute at Central Oregon Community College.

On Monday, she will compete in Reno, Nev., against three other students. Burginger is the first student from the culinary program to participate in a contest of this size.

“We’re nervous for her,” said Thor Erickson, chef instructor at the culinary in-

stitute. “But we’re not nervous because of her. We have complete faith in her skills.”

The competition challenges students to showcase their creativity as well as their culinary prowess. In one hour, students must create a dish with a three-pound chicken using their own recipes. Students are judged on competency, organization, technique, sanitation

and taste. The goal is to show mastery over as many cooking techniques as possible.

“The biggest thing will be just showing myself that I can do it,” Burginger said.

During the past five weeks, Burginger has been spending two days a week in the institute’s demonstration kitchen, perfecting her recipes with the help of instructors. Last week, she increased the number of practice runs to two to three times each day.

“I compare it to rehearsing for a play before opening night,” Erickson said. “It’s about repeating, refining and making the material your own.”

REDMOND — Demand for commercial land southwest of Redmond is expected to spike after Ridgeview High School opens in September. But new shops and fast food joints will have to wait more than a year as both the city of Redmond and Deschutes County work to rezone property.

Ridgeview, which is located at Southwest Canal Boulevard and Southwest Elkhorn Street, is surrounded by agricultural and residential land devoid of the amenities enjoyed by Redmond High School students. Redmond High sits near a strip mall, restaurants, gas stations and the Dry Canyon. It is also just a short walk from downtown.

Both city and county believe demand for commercial development will increase when Ridgeview fills with students and staff. At a meeting with county commissioners Thursday morning, city councilors directed staff members to work on a framework plan. The plan will look at potential development of land surrounding the school, which includes land within Redmond’s urban growth boundary and its urban reserve.

But students heading to Ridgeview in the fall shouldn’t expect to patronize nearby burger joints right away.

“Just (coming up with) the plan is going to be a yearlong process,” said Redmond Community Development Director Heather Richards.

Community chips in to build Grange Hall for $300 in 1912 This feature is compiled by Don Hoiness from archived copies of The Bulletin at the Des Chutes Historical Museum.

100 YEARS AGO For the week ending March 10, 1912

Grange hall to be built A hall which is intended to be the general meeting place for a large number of settlers northeast of Bend is being planned to be built at a point about six and a half miles from town.

The Grange which was organized recently is back of the movement, and already half enough funds has been raised.

The location decided on is an acre of the H.J. Overturf ranch at the northeast corner of the Pilot Butte ranch.

Mr. Overturf has made donation of the site, and the settlers of that community have already contributed about $125 in cash, with additional subscriptions for future payment. The Central Oregon Irrigation Co. has signified its intention to donate $75 or $100. The settlers expect to receive a hearty support from the Bend merchants and other business interests and to have the hall completed in a short time. Donation of building or other material will be welcomed.

The committee from the Grange which is in charge the plans consists of H.E. Stewart, W.G. Waugh, C.M. Bragg, Alonzo Moore and C.R. Lowe.

The people of the community are a committee of one to assist.

The building will be 30 x 50 feet in dimensions. There will be one large room, with several anterooms. The hall will be for the public benefit, for dances, socials meetings, etc. It will be of bungalow design and an attractive edifice. It is estimated that the cost will be $300.

The community is the most thickly populated section near Bend, and a large number of people will be benefitted.

The social life among the settlers is already being developed, and with a centrally located and suitable meeting place they will enjoy many pleasures of which they are now deprived.

(Note to readers: The Pine Forest Grange Hall is still in use today — 100 years later.)

May ship sheep here. Antelope men discuss plan of using railroad instead of driving animals The driving of sheep from this section to Redmond and Bend for the purpose of getting them to summer pasture in the Deschutes and Cascade National Forests may be abandoned this year.

The sheep will still be sent to the mountains, but it is planned to take them by train. The matter was discussed recently at a meeting of the wool growers at Antelope. H.J. O’Neill of the O.W.R & N. Co. quoted a rate of $14 a carload which would be an average of about 4 cents a head. If the plan is adopted the sheep would be driven to stations along the Deschutes and loaded.

Bend Garage Co. plans building Construction by the Bend Garage Co. of a modern sales and service plant, covering two lots on Wall street just south of the new federal building, has been announced by Walter G. Coombs. Work on the big building is to start in the immediate future and will be occupied about June 1.

The location and plans for the new building were recently approved by John Fuller, Chevrolet engineer who visited Bend. The big plant will hold the most modern sales and service facilities procurable.

In occupying its new home, the Bend Garage Co. this spring will be observing the 21st anniversary of its founding in Bend, by Coombs in 1916. For the past 14 years, the Bend Garage Co. has been in the Whittington and Vandevert building at the corner of Wall and Greenwood recently purchased from Dr. and Mrs. J.C. Vandevert by E.W. Williamson.

Plans for the new building are expected here this week.

Buick and Chevrolet cars will be handled by the company in its new location.

Central school brick salvaged Salvage work at the site of Central school, swept by fire last month, has been started under the direction of school officials. Thousands of bricks left undamaged in the fire are to be cleaned for use. Debris of the fire is to be piled and burned and the grounds cleaned up.

Brick salvaged from the wreckage may be used in the Kenwood gymnasium project, although the number needed will not be known until detailed specifications are received from the architect this week. In the mean time the school board decided not to sell any of the brick at present, but to wait until the school building program has been mapped out.

50 YEARS AGO For the week ending March 10, 1962

Musty old newspaper found, plan for railroad recalled Big news for Fort Rock in days gone by was recalled by a musty old newspaper uncovered while renovating an abandoned building here to serve once more as a store.

Splashed in big type on the front page of the July 17, 1926 “Central Oregon Press” was the story that the Public Utilities Commission had ordered the Union Pacific Railroad to build the cross state line from Crane to Crescent Lake.

If built, this line would have crossed the Harney Valley south of Burns, passed south of Wagontire Mountain, crossed the Christmas Lake and Fort

Rock valleys to reach Crescent Lake where it would join the just then completed Southern Pacific Cascade line.

Hopes ran high at Fort Rock for in those days the area was far removed from transportation.

Several Fort Rock people testified before ICC hearings and the case attracted regional and even national attention.

The late Henry M. Parks, who took an active part in favor of the line, had a copy of the published testimony which was the size of a mail order catalog. It would appear, judging from the testimony, that emotions were steamed up similar to the recent fight between Southern Pacific and Santa Fe for control of the Western Pacific. Testimony appeared then, too, from persons and organizations not too closely associated with the line.

While the hearings dragged on for a long time, it was actually the great depression which shattered Fort Rock’s hopes for a railroad.

Had the line been built, it would have been an operating department’s dream, for grades and curves were slight.

From the standpoint of on-line industries and local traffic the picture would have been bleak, judging from the look along the route today.

Sun bleached survey stakes from this proposed railroad can still be found in portions of the Fort Rock Valley today even though the locating party worked through here about 1909, much earlier than the hearings.

Weathered stakes lying flat on the desert sand, a yellowed newspaper found in the walls of an old building are the only tangible remains of Fort Rock’s ambitions.

History read from cabin walls (Editorial) One of our hobbies, in earlier years, was to read history from the walls of old homesteads in the High Desert, or in Northern Lake county where an arm of the Great Basin reaches into Oregon.

The history was in old papers, used as insulation for cabins in the land-rush days of long ago. Not only did the papers keep out the biting winds, but they served as wallpaper.

They were plastered on boards through use of flour paste.

Occasionally, the newspapers served as insulation between boards. These through the years withstood not only the weather, but the gnawing of rodents and the discoloration of the sun sifting through ceilings from which shingles had been blown.

25 YEARS AGO For the week ending March 10, 1987

Courthouse elevator has Crook County officials sky high Crook County dignitaries got high in Prineville Wednesday.

Three stories high anyway. The first elevator in the county went up, up and away Wednesday, carrying officials and others to the third floor of the Crook County courthouse.

“It works,” one woman said, smiling and looking slightly surprised after coming down from the brief ride.

Crook County Judge Dick Hopes and County Commissioner Frances Burgess also came down from their ride with broad smiles on their faces.

George McCart, a Prineville resident who gets around by wheelchair, cut the bright red ribbon strung across the first floor door to the elevator.

“I may go upstairs more often now”, said McCart, the owner of a Prineville drafting and design firm.

McCart said the only way he got to the upper floors of the courthouse before was by crawling up the steep stairs while someone else carried his chair.

A federal grant of $110,000 was matched by $40,000 from the county and construction began last fall.

Bend architect Tom McNab came up with a design for the elevator that would not detract from the beauty of the gray brick courthouse, built in 1909.

The last major renovation was done in 1941, a few months before Pearl Harbor, McNab said. At that time a boiler room was installed and other remodeling done.

McNab had to work out the design with officials at the state Historic Preservation Office. A plan that called for the outside of the elevator shaft — which is on the back end of the building — to be built of a gray brick closely resembling the exterior eventually was settled on.

Now County Counsel Greg Hendrix who headed the project said anyone can get to all parts of the courthouse easily.

Those who can’t walk or are too weak to climb the 45 steps to the third floor may use the elevator.

But Hoppes said he would use the elevator only if he gets too old or sick to climb the stairs.

Until then, “I will still take them two at a time to the third floor,” he said, smiling.

Medical Day Spas, the new Alternative to Plastic Surgery Actual Neck Lift Client of Enhancement Center Look at more of our clients online at enhancementcenterspa.com

Before

After Two days post procedure

Today, many men and women who want to look good for their age, without the risks and side effects of surgery, are leaning toward Medical Day Spas.

These Spa’s offer safe and wonderful alternatives to going into surgery for improving your appearance. The type of procedures the Medical Day Spa’s offer, are more affordable, less invasive, with little to no “Down time”, as with surgical procedures. The generation of Baby Boomers are choosing a more natural appearance, because surgery can leave you with the “Plastic” Hollywood style look, that is simply becoming passé. More men and women in their 40’s, 50’s and 60’s want to look refreshed, taking ten to fifteen years away from their appearance, enhancing who they are, rather than changing their natural look.

The Enhancement Center Medical Day Spa offers these type of procedures that are performed by a Physician, Registered Nurse, and Licensed, Certified, and experienced Laser Technicians. These type of procedures have become so popular, not only because of the economic affordability, but because of the opportunity to improve your looks, with little to no drugs involved.

The Enhancement Center Medical Day Spa is Bend’s First Medical Day Spa, established in 2000. For over twelve years, The Enhancement Center has been offering services such as Laser Skin Rejuvenation, Microdermabrasion, Laser Hair Removal, Laser Tattoo Removal, Vein Therapy, Neck, Face and Jowl Lifts, Cosmetic Injections, along with relaxing spa procedures such as: Body Massage, European Facials, Endermology, Pedicures and Manicures. The Enhancement Center has recently moved to a new, larger location above the Old Mill District on Upper Terrace.

Laser Skin Rejuvenation - This procedure involves a non-surgical laser, so the client can go immediately back to their lifestyle, without recovery time. The benefits of Laser Skin Rejuvenation are: the removal of sun damage, toning and tightening of the skin texture, calming redness, cellular rejuvenation, and increasing collagen production. This procedure can take between one to five treatments, and possibly some maintenance.

Laser Tattoo Removal - This latest technol-

ogy is safe and amazing way to remove unwanted tattoos, or to revise tattoos. This laser is amazingly fast, and will remove or resolve unwanted tattoo’s in 3-10 treatments.

Vascular Laser Treatment - This Laser addresses the blood vessels, small spider veins, rosacea, redness, and skin rejuvenation.

There can be some swelling and possible bruising with this procedure, that can usually be covered with make- up. This procedure literally “erases” veins in the face, and usually only requires one to two treatments, for long term results.

Laser Hair Removal - Body Hair can be quickly and easily removed with the newest technology in Laser Hair Removal systems.

Men are choosing to remove back hair, sculpture chest, shoulders, and facial/neck hair. Women are removing unwanted hair on bikini line (basic), French (high cut) and Brazilian (everything), under arms, facial hair, arms and legs. These procedures do take repeated treatments, an average of six to ten, and some maintenance is involved. The newest Lasers are five times faster than the first

and second generation lasers, so they have become much more affordable for a series of treatments. Small areas previously could take 30-45 minutes to clear, and now can be cleared in less than 15 minutes.

Face, Neck and Jowl lifts - These lifts are performed as minor surgical procedures, like removal of a large mole. Still no drugs are used other than numbing. This procedure is performed in the office, without anesthesia, and takes approximately an hour. This is a one-time procedure with results that can last for years.

Cosmetic Injections - Many different types of injections are used for the softening or removal of fine lines and wrinkles, filling the lips, plumping the skin, enhancement of the cheekbones. No recovery time is involved, but as with any injection, some swelling or bruising can occur.

Our staff desires to offer our clients a unique opportunity to improve their appearance, in a safe, affordable, and friendly atmosphere.

O N Man arrested in Congress mail threats • About 100 envelopes held white powder The Associated Press PORTLAND — A 39-yearold man charged in connection with threatening letters containing white powder that were sent to members of Congress and some media organizations was arrested Friday.

Investigators said Christopher Lee Carlson was indicted on two criminal counts arising out of an investigation into the mailing of about 100 envelopes

containing white powder.

The letters, postmarked in Portland, so far have all tested negative for toxic substances, the U.S. Attorney’s Office in Portland said.

A federal grand jury indictment returned Friday in Portland charged Carlson, described as being from the Portland-Vancouver, Wash., area.

The U.S. Capitol Police said in a statement that Carlson

was arrested at a home in the Portland area.

Carlson was charged with one count of mailing a threatening communication to a member of Congress. House Speaker John Boehner, ROhio, was referenced by name.

The second count charged the man with mailing a letter threatening to use a biological weapon to a U.S. senator. Sen. Barbara Mikulski, D-Md., was referenced in that count.

Carlson is expected to be arraigned Monday.

Investigators have recovered more than 100 letters addressed to U.S. senators and representatives. The Seattle office of Sen. Patty Murray, D-Wash., said it also received one.

“Threatening letters — whether hoax or real — are serious concerns that federal law enforcement agencies will aggressively pursue,” said Greg Fowler, special agent in charge of the FBI in Oregon.

Murray’s office did not immediately return a call for comment Friday night.

Some letters were sent to district offices of the Congress members.

The FBI, U.S. Capitol Police and the U.S. Postal Inspection Service all participated in the investigation.

The letters, which came to light in late February, told the recipients that there is a “10 percent chance you have just been exposed to a lethal pathogen.”

The letters bore a return address from “The MIB.” The listed Portland return address didn’t exist.

For female veterans, art serves as a bridge

By Ryan Imondi The News-Review

ROSEBURG — Donice Smith’s Army camouflage fatigues contrasted with vivid art as she walked through the Umpqua Valley Arts Center.

But when Smith walked into a gallery in the west wing, she blended right in.

Smith, who has been an active-duty soldier for 32 years, sat with six other women who had worn the same fatigues.

Two other women stood at the front of the class to teach them about calligraphy.

For three hours once a month, a handful of Douglas County’s female veterans gather at the arts center in Roseburg. Since November, they have learned about jewelry making, book designs and storytelling.

The classes are a partnership between the Umpqua Valley Arts Association and the Roseburg Veterans Affairs Medical Center to bring together women with similar experiences and challenges.

“It’s a place where women veterans can find an outlet to emotionally express themselves,” Smith said.

The VA estimates it serves 26,000 female veterans in Oregon, including more than 1,200 in Douglas County.

The manager of women’s programs at the Roseburg VA, Marcia Hall, said female veterans are more likely to report feeling isolated than their male counterparts.

“Less than 1 percent of the population (is) veterans, and less of that are women. They feel that they are in a different reality,” she said.

Hall said it’s not uncommon for female veterans to hide their military experiences. Sometimes people assume they’re the wife, sister or daughter of a man who served, rather than one who served, she said.

“The more isolated people are, the more negative activities they’re going to participate in,” she said. “The major consensus is that it leads to depression, anxiety and lower self-esteem.”

Hall contacted the arts association last summer about organizing classes that would be fun and allow female veterans to interact.

One of the veterans taking the classes, Kim Lamoureux, said the classes allow women with military backgrounds to meet outside male-dominated veterans groups.

“There’s a certain camaraderie of being a woman vet

“What we have is a shared experience, and you could swap stories and talk about things that civilians wouldn’t understand.

When men are around, you would feel on the outside a little bit.”

— Barbara Strickland, veteran and VA volunteer

and being with others. We find out that there’s other women veterans out there,” she said.

Smith, who has served as a combat medic and field instructor, said she loves being a soldier. But women in the military are perceived differently than men, she said.

“There’s a mind-set out there where people think it is still a man’s world. There are people who don’t believe there should be women in uniform,” she said.

Barbara Strickland, a veteran who served during the 1960s and now volunteers at the VA, attended the first class in November and was struck by an atmosphere that was unfamiliar, but pleasant.

“What we have is a shared experience, and you could swap stories and talk about things that civilians wouldn’t understand,” she said. “When men are around, you would feel on the outside a little bit.”

Arts Association Director Kathy Henderson said she liked Hall’s idea immediately.

“They’ve been put in this battle scenario and now they have to step back into the role of a female in our society,” she said. “All of a sudden, the soldier has to be put away.”

Classes will be held until at least October. Hall said she hopes the VA will continue supporting the classes.

Henderson said the program fits well with the arts center’s mission of fostering a rich, art-centric environment throughout the county.

The association already teaches art in schools and community workshops. Henderson said it wasn’t difficult to find artists to teach classes.

Some veterans have enrolled in other classes at the arts center. Hall said she hoped that would be one result of the VA-sponsored classes.

“They form friendships and bond with each other,” she said. “It’s about making their lives richer.”

ASTORIA — Coast Guard rescue helicopters have found a debris field, an oil sheen and a damaged lifeboat, but no sign of four people who disappeared on a fishing vessel off the Washington state coast.

The Coast Guard searched for the four people in the water near Seaview, Wash., on Saturday.

An emergency beacon led rescuers to the debris field about 17 miles west of Leadbetter Point near Willapa Bay at about 3:45 a.m. on Saturday.

The distress signal came from the 62-foot fishing vessel Lady Cecelia, which has a home port in Warrenton.

Coast Guard Petty Officer Shawn Eggert says the Coast Guard spoke with the ship’s owner, who says there were four people aboard.

Police: No charges for ‘serial stalker’ PORTLAND — Police say they don’t have enough evidence to prosecute a man with restraining orders from eight people who was accused of running his former boss off the road and holding her against her will with a gun.

Nicholas Librande, 35, faced a ninth restraining order after the incident in Salem last month.

The Washington County District Attorney’s Office says Librande exhibited “behavior that would alarm most people.”

Librande has restraining orders in Multnomah, Marion, Polk, Linn and Washington counties.

PORTLAND — Deputies following a semitrailer on Interstate Highway 5 issued 163 citations in two days in a sting operation designed to target aggressive drivers.

The Washington County Sheriff’s Office made 216 stops on a seven-mile stretch of highway while following an Oregon Department of Transportation semi.

Sgt. Tim Tennenbaum of the sheriff’s office says the most common infractions were unsafe lane changes and speeding.

Man on roadside struck, killed by car

Jose Gustavo Castillo Robles was walking on the roadside when he was struck and killed.

Police say the 58-year-old Robles was wearing dark clothes and may have been intoxicated.

The driver of the car that struck him, 44-year-old Andrew Barnard, was not injured in the crash.

YAKIMA — Washington opened a public auction online Thursday of its staterun liquor stores, beginning the process of privatizing a booze industry the state has tightly controlled since the end of Prohibition.

Within hours, more than 30 bidders had entered the fray. Nearly a dozen offered to buy rights to all of the stores, though most bid on individual store locations.

The minimum bid: $1,000.

Venturing into store ownership isn’t without its risks, given the current upheaval in the state’s liquor industry. Big-box stores will be entering the market for the first time under the voter-approved initiative kicking the state out of the business, and two lawsuits seeking to overturn the measure could derail efforts to implement it June 1.

Successful bidders also still must negotiate a lease — the state doesn’t own the properties the stores are on — apply and qualify for a retail liquor license and stock their stores.

But Washington officials said state stores that carry more than 1,400 products, including locally produced wine and spirits, could be a golden chance for entrepreneurs looking to serve a niche market.

The state’s spirits industry is growing, with more than 20 distillers producing gin, whiskey and vodkas distilled from Washington wheat or potatoes. Washington wineries now top 700.

“It’s just something we really think we could make work, and we have the opportunity now.

We’ll be looking to get in on the auction.� — Bob Enloe, a retired sales manager for Hood River Distillers

State stores also carry leading brands of everything from cognac to rum. “Our customers here in the state of Washington have grown to experience a very diverse portfolio of spirit products, and that portfolio won’t be available by the general big-box stores,� said Pat McLaughlin, director of business enterprise for the Washington Liquor Control Board. “This is a unique opportunity.�

Nearly 20 states control the retail or wholesale liquor business. Some, such as Iowa and West Virginia, have relinquished partial control in recent years, but Washington would be the first to abandon the liquor business entirely.

Voters, anticipating lower prices with private industry, required the state to dismantle its liquor business when they approved Initiative 1183 last fall in what was the costliest initiative campaign in state history.

Backed by membership warehouse giant Costco, the measure allows stores larger than 10,000 square feet to sell liquor, and smaller stores could only be allowed if there are no other outlets in a trade area.

The exception to that rule is Washington’s 167 state-run and 163 contract liquor stores.

Contract stores, which are run by private individuals, will be allowed to continue to operate. The state-run stores are the subject of the auction, with successful bidders winning the

exclusive right for a liquor store at that location. In addition, the license would be exempt from approval requirements of local officials, as is usually the case.

The auction ends April 19.

Successful bidders also will have the opportunity to purchase the state’s leftover stock.

Bob Enloe, 63, of Shoreline, Wash., intends to be one of those bidders.

A retired sales manager for Hood River Distillers of Hood River, Enloe, didn’t plan on going back to work, but he and his partner — also from the liquor business — didn’t want to pass up this opportunity. “It’s just something we really think we could make work, and we have the opportunity now,�

Enloe said. “We’ll be looking to get in on the auction.�

Grocery stores that sell liquor typically sell only about 300 products, McLaughlin said, and those tend to be the best-selling brands offered at lower prices. To compete, smaller stores will have to offer unique products.

The $1,000 minimum bid was high enough to weed out those who weren’t serious but low enough to attract enough qualified bidders, McLaughlin said. He declined to comment on how high the bids could go. “The reality is that we expect the true market value to be higher than that,� he said. “The market will take the bid where it belongs.�

In the early 1990s, West Vir-

ginia privatized the retail side of its liquor business, auctioning off the rights to sell liquor for 10 years. Bids averaged $220,000 each, bringing the state a total of $15.3 million. Most were bought

by Rite-Aid Corp. and Southland Corp., which operated 7-Eleven convenience stores.

But those outlets were the only stores allowed to sell liquor, said Steve Schmitt of the National Alcohol Beverage Control Association, the national group representing alcohol control states.

That won’t be the case in Washington, where more than 1,000 entities, including Target and large beverage retailer BevMo!, have already applied to sell liquor beginning June 1. “The reality is there’s a new competitive landscape. The big-box stores are entering a market where they haven’t been before,� Schmitt said. “The fact that you’re going to have that many more entities involved in the sale of product, I think, would keep the value of (state) stores probably somewhat limited.�

Opponents of the initiative have filed suit in court, arguing that it violates state rules requiring initiatives to address only one subject because it includes a provision for public safety funding. A judge has scheduled a hearing for March 19 to determine whether voters would have approved the initiative without the provision.

McLaughlin said he expects to see interest from both individual entrepreneurs and big businesses that might bid to buy them all. He also said preference will go to bids that save the state the most money, which could include an offer to employ current workers in state stores.

‘Lipstick Killer’ maintained innocence

By Douglas Martin New York Times News Service

William Heirens, the notorious “Lipstick Killer� who in 1946 confessed to three horrific murders in Chicago and FEATURED then spent the OBITUARY rest of his life — more than 65 years — in prison despite questions about his guilt, was found dead Monday in the Dixon Correctional Center in Dixon, Ill. He was 83.

He was pronounced dead at the University of Illinois at Chicago Medical Center, where an autopsy was performed, the Cook County Medical Examiner’s Office said. No cause of death was given, although he was known to have had diabetes.

Heirens’ notoriety stemmed from the separate killings of two women, Josephine Ross and Frances Brown, in 1945.

At the scene of the second murder, that of Brown, who had been shot and stabbed, someone had used lipstick to scrawl on a wall: “For heaven’s sake catch me before I kill more. I cannot control myself.�

The reports of a “lipstick killer� terrified Chicago as the press took note of other unsolved murders of women.

Then, about two weeks after the Brown murder, on Jan. 7, 1946, a 6-year-old girl named Suzanne Degnan was discovered missing from her bedroom at her North Side home.

A ladder was found outside the window. The police later determined that the killer had strangled her and taken the body to the basement of a nearby building, where it was dismembered. Her head, a ribbon still in her hair, was found in a sewer; other body parts were found scattered about the neighborhood.

The newspapers called the killing the crime of the century, and though the police questioned a parade of suspects, there was no arrest.

Almost six months later, Heirens, then 17, was apprehended at the scene of a burglary in the neighborhood. The police charged him with the girl’s murder after determining that his fingerprints were on a $20,000 ransom note that had been left behind at her home.

While he was in custody, The Chicago Tribune, citing what it called “unimpeachable sources,� reported that Heirens had confessed to the Degnan murder. Four other

LEFT: Heirens in 2002 at Dixon Correctional Center in Illinois. The “Lipstick Killer� died Monday at 83.

Chicago newspapers followed suit with articles based on The Tribune’s.

Heirens, who said he was beaten and given “truth serum� in jail, disputed the accounts, saying he was about to sign a confession in exchange for one life term but rebelled at “being forced to lie to save myself.�

Prosecutors then charged him with the two earlier murders, saying they had incriminating physical evidence, including crime-scene fingerprints and handwriting analysis. Offered a plea bargain in which he would agree to three consecutive life terms, he accepted.

Later he said he had done so only to avoid a death sentence if he had gone to trial. “I confessed to live,� he said.

When he did confess, his memory seemed ragged. Time after time during the plea bargaining, prosecutors brought up details from The Tribune article, which he then incorporated into his testimony.

Heirens recanted his confession soon afterward and maintained his innocence for the rest of his life while being denied parole or clemency numerous times. He questioned the validity of the fingerprints and other physical evidence, as have public interest lawyers who supported him.

In one clemency petition in 2002, his lawyers from the Northwestern University Center on Wrongful Convictions alleged more “prosecutorial misconduct, incompetent defense counsel, unprecedented prejudicial pretrial publicity, junk science, probably false confessions and mistaken eyewitness identification — than any other case we have studied.�

But others could not ignore his explicit admissions of guilt, even if he retracted them. “He is the yardstick by which all evil is judged,� Thomas Epach, a Chicago police official, said at his 2002 clemency hearing.

Suzanne Degnan’s family has fought all efforts to release him.

William George Heirens was born on Nov. 15, 1928, in Evanston, Ill. His father’s flower business failed, and the family teetered on the edge of poverty. In interviews, Heirens said he had burglarized houses to relieve the tension he felt at home from his parents’ frequent fights. He did not try to sell the things he stole, he said.

He was placed in two Ro-

man Catholic youth detention centers. At the second, he proved to be an excellent student. He skipped his senior year of high school and was admitted to the University of Chicago at 16. He had planned to major in engineering.

In interviews, Heirens said his mother had led him to believe that sex was dirty. When he kissed a girl, he said, he would burst into tears and vomit. He said one reason he broke into houses was to play with women’s underwear.

In the burglary in which he was arrested, the police testified that he had aimed a gun at an officer and twice pulled the trigger, but that the weapon misfired. He was additionally convicted of assault with the intention of killing a police officer.

After Heirens went to jail, his parents and brother changed their names to Hill.

He left no known survivors.

Heirens became the first prisoner in Illinois to earn a degree from a four-year college.

He also managed the prison garden factory and set up several education programs.

In recent years, his diabetes damaged his eyesight, and he used a wheelchair. He told The New York Times in 2002 that he had learned that prison friendships were fleeting. “Most of them, you hear for a little while, and then they kind of fade out,� he said. “Usually when they get out, they try to forget they were ever in.�

WOLVES

Facebook ‘friend’ request Imnaha pack blamed in cow attacks exposes man’s other wife

The Associated Press JOSEPH — A pack of wolves in Eastern Oregon that has drawn the ire of ranchers has been blamed for injuries to three cows, one of which was euthanized.

The Oregon Department of Fish and Wildlife said the cows found Thursday suffered hundreds of bite wounds that the department attributes to wolf bites.

One of the cow’s calves is missing. The attacks took place in private land east of Joseph, Ore., called Threebuck Canyon. The area is regularly used by the Eastern Oregon Imnaha wolf pack.

The department said in a report released Saturday that the Imnaha pack is to blame, adding fuel to the debate over the wolves’ future.

The Oregon Court of Appeals last year temporarily blocked the state from carrying out a kill order on two wolves from the Imnaha pack in northeastern Oregon. Judges ruled that conservation groups had a good chance of succeeding with a legal claim that state protections for endangered species overruled the wolf management plan, which allows wolves to be killed to reduce livestock attacks.

In the just-concluded Legis-

Washington creates website to report sightings YAKIMA, Wash. — People who think they’ve seen a wolf, heard one howl or found other evidence of wolves in Washington have a new place to share their story: a website to document wolf activity and help state wildlife officials manage the species.

The Washington Department of Fish and Wildlife will use citizen reports to help locate new wolf packs and pups in the spring and summer and capture and fit wolves with radio collars to monitor their movements, said Donny Martorello, the agency’s carnivore section manager.

“Our state’s wolf-management efforts depend on knowing how many wolves are here, where they are, and where they’re going,” Martorello said

lative session, a bill that would allow state officials to kill two wolves from the pack passed the House but died in the Senate without a vote.

Proponents of the measure argued that killing wolves that develop a taste for cattle or sheep is in the long-term best interest of wolves and people

in a statement Friday. “By filing reports on wolf activities, the public can help us direct our monitoring efforts.”

State wildlife officials have been working since 2007 to determine how best to recover wolves in their historic territory and ultimately delist them from endangered species protections, while reducing and managing wolf conflicts with livestock and humans.

Wolves migrated to Washington from Idaho, Oregon and British Columbia, though they are listed as endangered throughout Washington under state law and as endangered in the western two-thirds of the state under federal law.

Currently, five wolf packs have been documented in the

who want to see their population expand.

Conservation groups disagree. They say that by providing a loophole for killing wolves, any wolf-kill bill would create a precedent for getting around state protection for any species that gets in the way of logging, ranching,

Chef

“In high school I found that I really loved cooking,” says Cascade Culinary Institute student Lyndsay Burginger. “And then I just threw myself into it.” If she wins Monday’s contest, she’ll qualify for a national competition in Orlando, Fla., in July.

Continued from B1 Burginger plans to make four separate items during the competition, using difficult techniques such as a tournée cut for her root vegetable dish, which involves trimming the vegetables into oblong shapes. She will be using Oregon ingredients for almost everything, utilizing locally grown hazelnuts and pears, goat cheese made by Tumalo Farms, and spirits made by Clear Creek Distillery.

If Burginger wins, she will qualify for the national competition in Orlando, Fla., in July, where she has the chance to win $1,000 and the prestige of being ACF’s student of the year.

“It’s her excitement for the industry that I think qualifies her,” said Gene Fritz, executive chef and director of the Cascade Culinary Institute.

“They could see that she was committed to it from early on.

When they see her, they see a rising star.”

Originally from San Diego, Burginger moved to Bend five years ago. She attended Bend High School, and was in the ProStart culinary program there.

“In high school I found that I really loved cooking,” Burgin-

state, all in eastern Washington.

Three reside in the northeast corner, with one in north-central Washington’s Methow Valley and the fifth in the Teanaway Valley of Kittitas County.

Wolves have been sighted in the Blue Mountains, where they are believed to be crossing between Washington and Oregon.

A wolf management plan approved late last year requires 15 successful breeding pairs for three consecutive years to remove endangered species protections. Four breeding pairs would be required in eastern Washington, the North Cascades and the South Cascades or Northwest coast, as well as three other pairs anywhere in the state.

The most famous member of the pack, OR-7, achieved celebrity status by wandering hundreds of miles from Eastern Oregon and into Northern California looking for a mate.

Another member of the pack, OR-9, was killed in Idaho last month by a hunter.

Burginger will obtain her degree in restaurant management at the end of this year, and will then take an internship in Orlando at a Walt Disney World resort. Her instructors, who describe her as a motivated student who excels in all her classes, are expecting great things from the young chef.

Food, Home & Garden In AT HOME Every Tuesday

TACOMA, Wash. — Here’s a recipe for trouble: A woman you left three years ago but remain married to gets a recommendation from Facebook to “friend” a woman she doesn’t know. Unbeknownst to her, you married the mystery woman after changing your name.

Wife No. 1 clicks on the link. The mystery woman’s profile photo shows you and her in nice clothes standing next to a wedding cake.

Wife No. 1 then calls your mother.

Oh, boy.

It allegedly happened to a Pierce County, Wash., corrections officer, who now is on unpaid administrative leave after prosecutors charged him with bigamy Thursday.

Alan O’Neill, 41, has been summoned to court March 22 to answer the felony charge.

O’Neill, previously known as Alan Fulk, has worked as a Pierce County corrections officer for five years, sheriff’s spokesman Ed Troyer said.

Efforts to reach him for comment were unsuccessful.

According to charging documents, Fulk married his first wife in 2001. He reportedly moved out eight years later, but neither he nor she filed for divorce, the records show.

In December he petitioned to change his last name to O’Neill, the charging documents state. Later that month, he married his second wife.

Prosecutor Mark Lindquist said Wife No. 1 recently found out about

Wife No. 2 when Facebook — thinking the two women might want to share a friendship because of their connection to O’Neill — recommended she “friend” the other woman.

Wife No. 1 then placed her call to the defendant’s mother, Lindquist said.

“An hour later the defendant arrived at (Wife No. 1’s) apartment, and she asked him several times if they were divorced,” court records show.

“The defendant said, ‘No, we are still married.’ ” O’Neill then allegedly told Wife No. 1 not to tell anybody about his dual marriages, that he would fix it, the documents state.

Not fixed.

Wife No. 1 apparently alerted authorities, who used records from the Auditor’s Office and district court to suss out O’Neill’s alleged duplicity, court records show.

“It’s not the crime of the century, but it is a crime,” Lindquist said.

Volunteers work on trails at the Northeast Redmond Trail Complex — informally known as the Radlands — near the High Desert Sports Complex in Redmond on Saturday.

Radlands Continued from B1 Although the area east of Redmond is relatively flat, trail builders look for ways to make the most of the terrain, finding ups and downs by cutting switchbacks into the low rocky spines that crisscross the desert.

Chris Dodson from COTA said building through boulder fields and over rock slabs is time-consuming and physically difficult, but makes for a better riding experience.

“It’s just to make it more interesting,” Dodson said. “It’s not always the easiest way to build a trail, but it’s the most fun for everybody.”

Dodson said he expects the Radlands may be too hot and dusty for summertime riding, but sees the area getting plenty of use during the cooler parts of the year.

Mountain bikers looking to ride once rain and snow move into higher-elevation areas have historically had limited options, he said, mostly the Horse Ridge system east

of Bend and the Cline Butte trails near Eagle Crest.

Holt said he expects the Radlands will have two complete loop trails built by June 1, both built slightly wider than most of the trails in the area to accommodate beginning riders.

The next work party is scheduled for April 7. Anyone interested in volunteering can contact COTA, Trinity Bikes, or Redmond Area Parks and Recreation District for details.

also would’ve required them to “take all actions necessary and proper” to draw an additional 100,000 acre-feet of water for use in agriculture.

Key lawmakers and the governor’s office negotiated extensively on the measure, but Republicans said they gave up because the offerings from Democrats wouldn’t go far enough.

“We were asked to compromise to a point where we did not believe the bill actually accomplished its goal,” Rep. Matt Wingard, R-Wilsonville,

said this week. “So we held our ground.”

Doug Moore, director of the Oregon League of Conservation Voters, said it was the bill’s proponents who were inflexible.

Conservation groups worry that the Republican bill would not have prevented Columbia water withdrawals during low-flow periods, when migrating salmon depend on having sufficient water in the river. They also say legislation isn’t needed, noting that Oregon already is using excess

water to recharge an aquifer in Eastern Oregon.

“If they want to have a discussion about storing excess winter water, that’s a great conversation to have. Let’s have it,” Moore said. “But we can’t be just unilaterally making a decision and not having a discussion with everyone at the table.”

In 2006, Washington passed a bill that appropriated $200 million to improve water conservation, storage and wateruse agreements in the Columbia River basin.

Habitat seeks volunteers The Habitat for Humanity reclamation team is deconstructing the old Oregon State Police building on Jamison Road in Bend.

According to a press release, it’s a “win-win-win for the community, saving the taxpayers approximately $40,000, keeping 50,000 cubic feet of material out of our landfill and earning Bend Area Habitat for Humanity an estimated $10,000.”

Volunteers are needed and will be working from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. weekdays through project completion, which is expected to be at the end of April.

An art lover pauses in front of Mark Rothko’s “No. 8,” a 1949 painting created as the artist’s work was evolving toward his signature multiform style. Forty-five of the expressionist’s canvases, including “No. 14,” below, will be displayed at the Portland Art Museum through May 27.

S E E I N G ‘RED’ IN PORTLAND • Artist Mark Rothko is celebrated on stage and in a museum retrospective

By John Gottberg Anderson For the Bulletin

PORTLAND — Mark Rothko wasn’t born in the United States, but the artist was an American original.

From his birth in Russian Latvia in 1903 until he took his own life in New York in 1970, the abstract expressionist became nearly as well known for his unique and colorful oil paintings as he did for his similarly colorful and single-minded personality.

Born Marcus Rothkowitz, he

NORTHWEST TRAVEL Next week: Taking flight in greater Seattle moved with his family to Portland at the age of 10, took his first art classes at the Portland Art Museum and graduated from Lincoln High School in 1921. He then accepted a scholarship to Yale University and moved to the East Coast, where he became a U.S. citizen in 1938 and legally changed his name two

years later, fearful of Nazi-era anti-Semitism.

Rothko never returned to Oregon to live. Indeed, his family never understood his starving-artist lifestyle. But his first one-man show, of sketches and watercolors, was presented at the Portland Art Museum in 1933. So it is fitting that the same museum is now presenting a retrospective of the full body of Rothko’s work, a century after his Portland youth.

Nancy Noble’s interest in genealogy was piqued when her mother-in-law died and left behind a neatly organized trunk full of greeting cards, newspaper clippings, wedding announcements and other records she had been collecting for decades.

“It took years for us to make sense of it all and to put it all together,” Noble said as she looked back on the moment that started a hobby she’d eventually turn into a postretirement career. “We got the disease by looking into our own family’s history, and now (we) want to do it for everybody.”

Noble, 67, is now one of two Central Oregon residents who are registered with the Association of Professional Genealogists, a national organization that keeps track of people who research family histories for a fee, and one of only 35 professional genealogists in the state.

Later this month, she plans to share information about what she calls “little known or little used resources” for people who’ve hit a roadblock while researching their family history (see “If you go”).

Catching the bug Six million Americans watched a Feb. 3 episode of “Who Do You Think You Are” on which actors Martin Sheen and Emilio Estevez tracked their family history though parts of Spain and Ireland. That program was the second-most watched television show during the evening’s 8 p.m. time slot, according to the ratings tracking website ZAP2it.com, and beat perennial favorites like “Shark Tank” and “Kitchen Nightmares” to claim this honor.

Ancestry.com, which has helped produce this show’s third season, boasts more than 24,500 followers on its Twitter account and has more than 10 times that many followers on its Facebook page. And while this website claims to be the most popular genealogy website, a quick Google search will tell you it’s certainly not the only one out there.

Bill Bernardy, a professional genealogist who launched a business called Front Porch Genealogy in 2010, said the popularity of Ancestry.com and “Who Do You Think You Are?” reflects a growing interest in genealogy.

“Working on your family history has its own sense of satisfaction,” said Bernardy, 60, who did a presentation about his family history in high school but didn’t pick up the hobby again until about six years ago. “It’s like playing a game, working on a puzzle or something like that.”

A & A

Offering your place in line is thoughtful thing to do Dear Abby: Whenever I see a pregnant woman or an elderly person in line behind me who seems uncomfortable or tired, I always want to let them go ahead of me. Is this regarded as a nice gesture, or does it make them feel pathetic and helpless? I do it with the best intentions, but I don’t want to offend anyone. — Rachel in Tennessee Dear Rachel: It’s regarded as a thoughtful gesture. If someone feels that your deference is offensive, then he or she is free to refuse your generous offer.

And if that happens — which I doubt will happen frequently — do not blame yourself for having extended the courtesy.

Dear Abby: I work in a hospital, and I’m sick and tired of people “bombing� us with their perfume/cologne at levels as suffocating as tear gas. Many patients here have breathing difficulties such as emphysema, COPD and asthma. Please have some consideration for your fellow man and stop at one squirt if you must use it at all. If we can smell you before we see you, or if we are still suffering from the perfumeinduced migraine you caused long after you’re gone, then you used WAY TOO MUCH. — Had Enough in Birmingham, Ala. Dear Had Enough: You’re absolutely right. When it comes to fragrances, more isn’t better — a little dab will do ya. Applying too much is not only offensive, but actually can make some well people sick and sick people sicker.

And this is true not only in hospitals, but also in elevators, offices and gyms.

Dear Abby: You printed a letter from me on Sept. 26, 2011. It was signed “Looking for a Date — in the Future.�

Thank you for printing it, and I’d like to give you an update on my life.

I now realize that men have been approaching me quite frequently, but instead of showing outright interest and

Learn to deal with others directly.

You often feel as if others do not hear you or take you seriously, especially in groups. One-on-one conversations prove to be more effective. Your unique vision and tendency to detach from situations might be hard for others to comprehend. They will need to ask questions at times. If you are single, someone quite different walks into your life. Learn and grow with this person, as he or she will with you. If you are attached, the two of you grow together because of a mutual decision surrounding a seminar, travel or a new person in your lives. SCORPIO encourages your mind to dream.

The Stars Show the Kind of Day You’ll Have: 5-Dynamic; 4-Positive; 3-Average; 2-So-so; 1-Difficult ARIES (March 21-April 19) HHHH Defer to others. Don’t forget that a loved one also wants some of your time. You could feel pressured by others who desire and need to be with you. Make an adjustment, if need be. You have enough energy to do nearly everything you want to do.

Tonight: Dinner for two.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) HHHH Others come forward and let you know what they want.

Options, invitations and different types of scenarios make your decision difficult. Follow your heart.

Your energy will increase, and you might be able to do more. Tonight: Go along with suggestions.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) HHH A nice, easy pace works. You could be overly tired and wondering if you can continue as you have been. You already know the answer.

Indulge key family members today.

Note how full of energy you are.

Discuss a personal matter. Tonight: Squeeze in a walk.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) HHHHH You might feel far away from your problems at the moment.

How nice! Stop and enjoy yourself to the max. You have a great time wherever you are and nearly whoever you are with. Follow your heart, and everyone will be happy. Tonight: Return a call before making a decision.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) HHH You might be happiest close to home. You have been pushed and prodded, but now it is your turn.

Pressure builds between you and a loved one. If you don’t have to be right,

TODAY DEAR ABBY asking me for a date, they ask me to “hang out� or if I’m coming over to their place — as if they’re confirming plans we never made. Because of this I have been on a few dates that I didn’t realize WERE dates until after the fact.

But I have also been on several real dates with one particular man I’m now seeing exclusively. When I saw him, I actually took the first step and introduced myself to him instead of waiting for him to notice and approach me. I’m so glad I did because although I always hoped that soul mates exist, I was hesitant to believe that “you just know.� But I do!

Better yet, he does, too. He’s the kindest, most thoughtful, respectful man I have ever met, and I know I’m lucky to have found him.

I feel silly and disappointed in myself for having gotten married before without feeling this way, but I’m happily learning from my mistake. I hope you’ll print this so it will give others hope when it feels like there is no hope to be had.

Thanks again, Abby. — Happy Reader in Triangle, Va. Dear Happy Reader: You were sweet to write and give me an update. Not all my readers do, and it’s always nice to read about happy endings.

After reviewing your letter and looking back at the first one you wrote, I’m reminded that sometimes things happen when they’re meant to and not before. In other words, you thought men weren’t interested in you, but the truth was you weren’t ready for them to be. I wish you and your special someone a happy future together. — Write Dear Abby at www.DearAbby.com or P.O. Box 69440, Los Angeles, CA 90069.

Horoscope: Happy Birthday for Sunday, March 11, 2012

By Jacqueline Bigar

C3

you’ll discover that you might have a better time together and develop a closer bond. Tonight: At home.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) HHHH Have a conversation, and establish a new beginning where it will make a difference. You could be overwhelmed by everything that you have to do. Start asking a friend or two to pitch in. You could be surprised by the outcome. Tonight: Talk is cheap.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) HHH You sometimes lose that carefree manner that draws in many people. Look within and at the situation to see why you are triggering a negative reaction from loved ones. Indulge yourself more than usual. Tonight: Take some much-needed personal time.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) HHHH You attract many people just by being yourself. Many of the invitations and calls you receive come from a place of caring. You will not need to deal with another person’s neediness as much as you have. Your mood is contagious; let others catch it. Tonight: Where the action is.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) HH Minimize a problem rather than make it bigger. You have a tendency to overdo it, in many different ways.

A little self-discipline would feel good right now. Try not to release your frustrations. Tonight: Get some extra R and R. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) HHHHH Zero in on what is important, and understand where you are going. Your sense of humor comes out when you reach out to friends. Take off and be adventuresome, but do not allow anyone to put a damper on the moment. Tonight: Speak your mind.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) HHH You handle responsibilities well. Unfortunately, you need to use today to fulfill certain obligations.

You will, and you will feel better as a result. You might be overwhelmed by someone’s efforts to draw you in.

Tonight: Only where you want to be.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) HHHHH Use your imagination or be an armchair traveler if you cannot take off. Calls come in with ideas, suggestions and invitations. Pick and choose what you want according to how you feel. You cannot change another’s mood — only he or she can. Tonight: Follow the music. Š 2011 by King Features Syndicate

THE BULLETIN • SUNDAY, MARCH 11, 2012

Rothko Continued from C1 Continuing through May 27, the exhibition of 45 canvases traces the artist’s career from early figurative works to the colorful abstracts for which he eventually became best known.

Simultaneously, through March 18, Portland Center Stage is presenting the Tony Award-winning play “Red.” The one-act, 90-minute, twoactor play focuses on the relationship between Rothko and a young apprentice in the late 1950s. Various other musical events are scheduled in the city through the term of the exhibition.

Several downtown Portland hotels are offering art packages. When I visited early this month, I stayed at the boutique Hotel Lucia, whose “Rothko in Retrospect” package (starting at $199) includes two tickets to the exhibition (normally $15 apiece), a $20 gift certificate for the museum gift shop and cafe, a $10-per-ticket discount to the stage play (reducing the cost to $54 or $59 depending on seat location), and a “Red on the Rocks” cocktail specially created by the hotel bar.

In addition, the Heathman Hotel offers an ongoing Museum Package (from $284) that includes tickets and a continental breakfast. And the Mark Spencer Hotel’s Theatre & Arts Package (from $129) offers tickets to both the art museum and Portland Center Stage with continental breakfast included.

Born Marcus Rothkowitz in Russian Latvia, Mark Rothko painted this self-portrait in 1936, two years before he changed his name. “The fact that one usually begins with drawing is already academic,” he wrote. “We start with color.”

The Gerding Theater, home of Portland Center Stage, occupies a converted 1891 National Guard armory. Rebuilt to top sustainability standards and opened in 2006, the 599-seat theater has won wide acclaim for its LEED-certified architecture.

Portland Art Museum “The (evolution) of a painter’s work … will be toward clarity,” Rothko said in 1952.

An artist will progress, he said, “toward the elimination of all obstacles between the painter and the idea, between the idea and the observer.”

That theme may be applied to the current show at the art museum. Joining a group of about 30 art lovers on a midday tour of the exhibit, led by husband-and-wife docents, I was taken on a chronological journey through the career of a man who lived through many ups and downs, personal as well as professional, but emerged in the 1950s and ’60s as an expressionist painter on or above the scale of Jackson Pollock and Willem DeKooning.

Here’s what I learned from the docents: The earliest of the paintings — made in 1926, when Rothko was a 23-year-old college dropout — is a still life in the style of Cezanne. A 1927 seashore suggests a familiarity with Gauguin, while the nudes of 1933’s “Bathers, or Beach Scene” reflect the work of his mentor, Milton Avery.

In the late 1930s, like many artists of the era, Rothko was employed by the Works Progress Administration to provide art in the restoration of public buildings. During this period, he created what became known as his “Subway Scenes,” which merged the surrealism and cubism of such European painters as Picasso, Dali and Miró with abstract art.

In the 1940s, Rothko’s evolving work shows a fascination with Greco-Roman and Judaeo-Christian mythology. He produced numerous paintings that brought Jungian symbolism and psychological content into oils and watercolors.

By the end of the 1940s, the artist had become more focused on color than on figures. He launched into an

“Entrance to Subway,” merging abstract art with surrealism and cubism, was painted in 1938 when Mark Rothko was employed by the Works Progress Administration. The government agency commissioned work for the restoration of public buildings.

intellectual exploration of how many different shades of red, blue or black he might be able to differentiate. “The fact that one usually begins with drawing is already academic,” he had written in 1936.

“We start with color.”

For the last two decades of his career, Rothko’s work developed into his signature multiform style that made him famous. Large canvases of rectangular boxes, often one within the next, feature strong contrasting (yet complementary) colors. Indistinct boundaries create an optical flicker.

“When Rothko was asked what his paintings were about,” said one of my docent guides, “he said, ‘The subject of the painting is the painting itself.’ ” Rothko urged viewers to stand as close to the canvases as possible, without touching them. “He wanted the viewer to have nothing but color in his peripheral vision,” said a docent, “so that they might find themselves within the painting itself.”

Rothko’s health declined rapidly after he suffered an aortic aneurism in 1968, and his second marriage dissolved. Suffering depression,

he took his life in February 1970.

But what became perhaps his most famous work, the Rothko Chapel in Houston, didn’t open until a year after his death. Its walls display 14 paintings, all in subtle shades of black. “It was supposed to be about the passion of Christ,” a docent said. “That was an interesting position for a Jewish painter.”

All of the Portland Art Museum’s permanent exhibits — including its Asian collections and its presentations of modern Northwest art — continue on display throughout the Rothko exhibition. But another fascinating exhibit, also extending through May 27, runs simultaneously on the floor above.

“Three Fragments of a Lost Tale” features the creations — sculpture, photography, music and animated film — of multitalented California artist John Frame, who has spent the past five years

at work on a life work, “The Tale of the Crippled Boy.” The exhibit is worth a long look.

Portland Center Stage The Portland Center Stage production of “Red,” at the Gerding Theater, brings out the crusty edge of Rothko’s personality.

Playwright John Logan’s production was first presented in London in December 2009, then moved in the spring of 2010 to Broadway, where it won six Tony Awards, including Best Play.

It opened in Portland on Feb. 21.

The story focuses on the relationship between Rothko, played by Daniel Benzali, and his youthful apprentice, portrayed by Patrick Alparone.

The biopic drama takes place over two years in the late 1950s, as Rothko sets to work in his New York studio painting a series of large canvases on commission for a swanky new Manhattan restaurant,

the Four Seasons.

Self-consumed, Rothko takes on an assistant, known only as Ken, whom he teaches to mix the paints, construct the stretchers and lay heavy undercoats of red on the canvases.

Over the course of the 90minute play, we learn about Rothko’s creative process and his theories of art. Ken, who is at first intimidated by his mentor, gradually comes to question both, challenging the artist’s decision to take on such an unabashedly commercial project as the restaurant panels.

“There is only one thing I fear in life,” Rothko says.

“One day, the black will swallow the red.”

Although “Red” is scheduled to run for only one more week, Portland Center Stage has an impressive schedule of productions continuing through the spring. The fablelike tale of “Shakespeare’s Amazing Cymbeline” runs through April 8. Tolstoy’s “Anna Karenina” is scheduled April 3 to 29, followed by a pair of musical productions — “Black Pearl Sings!” (April 24 to June 17) and “It Ain’t Nothin’ but the Blues” (May 22 to June 24).

The Gerding Theater, home of Portland Center Stage, opened in 2006 in the former Portland Armory. Built in 1891 as a National Guard bastion, it was adapted for use as

a center for the performing arts and sporting events until the Great Depression era, when a fire marshal declared it unsafe. But no funds were made available for its renovation, and for decades before and after its 1968 purchase by the Blitz-Weinhard corporation, it remained a neglected relic.

In 2002, as the city of Portland continued its Pearl District redevelopment work, developer Bob Gerding won the backing of City Hall to rebuild the Armory according to the utmost sustainability standards. The result was a 599-seat theater that has been acclaimed from coast to coast. No other building on the National Register of Historic Places has won the U.S. Green Building Council’s highest certification level, LEED Platinum.

Food and drink Central Oregonians are often pleased to discover that the Deschutes Brewery’s Portland pub is located directly across Northwest Davis Street from the theater. A spacious room that features elaborate wood carvings by Sisters chainsaw artist J. Chester Armstrong, the pub features the full roster of outstanding Deschutes beers and a menu of comfort food to match that of the downtown Bend restaurant.

For fine dining before (or after) the theater, my choice is Bluehour, a short threeblock walk away. The flagship restaurant of local arts patron Bruce Carey, Bluehour has a new star chef, Thomas Boyce, who has taken the menu away from the Mediterranean-influenced cuisine of his predecessor, Kenny Giambalvo.

Maybe it’s time to give all-inclusive resorts a try

From previous page Wolfgang Puck’s chef de cuisine at his famed Beverly Hills roost, Spago. He tempted my dining companion and me with a terrine of Korean-style octopus, crispy confit lamb salad with chanterelle mushrooms, pan-roasted ling cod and braised beef short ribs with a parsnip puree.

Nearer to the Portland Art Museum is Grüner. Chef-owner Chris Israel, a longtime former colleague of Carey’s, now emphasizes the hearty cuisine and unique wines of Germany and central Europe. His menu ranges from a charcuterie plate, featuring housemade rabbit mortadella and venison terrine, to sauteed calves’ liver and pan-fried trout with a horseradish beurre blanc.

Two of my favorite breakfast-lunch spots are on the east side of downtown Portland.

Mother’s Bistro & Bar offers wonderful comfort food at most times of day, while the Bijou Cafe serves tasty and creative meals at affordable prices.

Back at the Hotel Lucia after the presentation of “Red,” I was pleased to conclude my Mark Rothko visit with the hotel bar’s specially designed cocktail, “Red on the Rocks.” It’s a complicated mix, but oh, so tasty: equal parts cherry liqueur and Campari are layered around bourbon and vermouth, with muddled sugar, bitters, orange slices and a cherry garnish.

Rothko was famed for his multiform, abstract expressionism. I think the same words could be used to describe the cocktail invented in his honor.

N.Y. performance artist inspired by grandparents

By David Colman New York Times News Service

NEW YORK — A surprising number of people harbor a secret fondness for their grandparents — or at least for their grandparents’ things, that is. Whether it is Granddad’s old leather box for his collars or Grandma’s battered alligator handbag, the attraction is usually the same: The object represents a time when men and women dressed and lived with greater dignity and elegance than Mom (in mom jeans) or Dad (in dad jeans) do. Some grandparents had grandeur.

Then again, some did not.

“Not my grandparents!” the artist Ryan McNamara exclaimed, collapsing in laughter at the thought. McNamara, who has emerged as the clown prince of the flourishing performance-art scene, was raised in Arizona not far from his grandparents, and they loomed large, if not grand, in his childhood.

“They were kind of zany people,” said McNamara, 32, whose latest show of participatory tomfoolery opened last weekend at the Elizabeth Dee Gallery in Chelsea. “They lived in one of those retirement communities, but they got kicked out for having all these tchotchkes out and being so gaudy and loud. They had a manufactured home you can put on the back of a truck and move, so throughout their life they just kept moving farther and farther into the desert. They would have this beautiful desert land, and they would put these ceramic leprechauns everywhere.”

The yard was only the beginning. It is difficult to imagine two people who were prouder of their distant heritage — which, should it not be

perfectly clear, was Irish.

Martha McNamara, his paternal grandmother, “was a big lady, a real big lady,” McNamara said. “On St. Patrick’s Day, she would wear this huge green St. Patrick’s bonnet and deliver shamrocks to my homeroom teachers. It embarrassed the hell out of me until I realized it was the coolest thing in the world. Her craziness is a real reason I am an artist.”

McNamara has one green item: a pair of green cowboy boots, given to him by his grandfather Bill, who more than held his own in the green department.

“He decided at some point — I think in his 40s — that he was going to wear green every day, head to toe,” the artist said.

On St. Patrick’s Day, McNamara is planning a greenthemed party. It won’t exactly be a shamrock to Ireland but a valentine to his grandparents and what might be called their outsider performance art.

Living alone can prepare Letting kids have a say people for later marriage in purchasing decisions

By Janice D’Arcy

By Kristi Gustafson Barlette Albany Times Union

Living alone is good.

That’s the word from author, and sociology professor, Eric Klinenberg.

For his book, “Going Solo,” Klinenberg interviewed more than 300 people who live alone and looked at the good — and the better — of this lifestyle choice for young adults.

As someone who lived on her own for more than 10 years, I know there’s more to be gained than being able to walk around in a bath towel after showering.

Being roommate-less made me stronger, and more mature, shaping me as an adult and setting me up for life with a partner.

When I first moved into my house, I slept with all the windows locked, as well as the bedroom door. I had a hammer next to my bed.

And living alone was teaching me I didn’t need anyone else to fight my battles, either.

When the heating company accidently cleaned my furnace — to the tune of nearly $200 — instead of maintaining my air conditioning, they insisted I would be charged because, well, someone had to pay for the work.

Instead of turning to my parents, I had a lengthy debate with the manager, and then the owner of the company. The situation was re-

solved, with the $200 staying in my account.

Living alone means you are your own advocate. Being assertive and independent aren’t options, but necessities — even in the long term. We’ve all heard of older adults who, after losing a spouse, can’t function. They don’t know how to access the shared checking account, or where the fuse box is located, because they went right from their parents’ home to being married and never had to operate on their own.

I’d become independent to the point I worried I was someone so set in her wakeearly, shun-dirty-dishes-inthe-sink ways, that when the next stage of life came along, I’d be more impossible to live with than “that” roommate on reality TV. Instead, these alone years gave me time to discover who I was, and acted as a step in my development.

The Husband and I didn’t live together until we were married. We are two fully formed adults joining to make a single, balanced relationship — one where the skills formed over years of living alone taught us to be able to work together.

Although, the next time I need to duke it out with the cable or heating company, I’m leaving it to him.

But that will be a matter of convenience, not ability.

The Washington Post

A new marketing study suggests that parents include their children in a wide range of buying decisions, including where to eat, where to shop and where to go for vacation. We consult kids so much that researchers called their report “Generation Collaboration.”

For the study, Connecticut-based branding firm the Family Room surveyed about 1,300 parents and 750 kids.

When asked about their general decision-making style, 64 percent of parents said they make the final decision but seek kids’ input, 42 percent said they discuss decisions with kids and 27 percent said they provide kids with options and then let them decide.

Meanwhile, 20 percent said they take the “because I said so” approach and 10 percent said they were the polar opposite, regularly allowing kids to make decisions on their own.

The survey also found that parents overwhelmingly asked kids’ opinions, regardless of age, about products they planned to buy for the kids or whole family.

And about half of parents sought their kids’ opinions about products the parents bought for themselves.

Overall, the majority of parents said their child plays a role in buying decisions, restaurant choice and where the family should shop. The most collaboration: dinner purchases. The least: cars. Still, 15 percent of parents of 15- to 17-yearolds reported consulting on that one.

When asked why, the vast majority of parents said the top reason for such collaboration was “to teach my child that his/her opinion matters.”

Some parents said that consulting their child made the buying process easier, that their child had a strong opinion or that their child was more knowledgeable about the product.

SUNDAY, MARCH 11, 2012 • THE BULLETIN Professional genealogist Bill Bernardy looks through a book he made of his family’s lineage in his home office in Bend. Bernardy is one of 35 Oregon residents registered with the Association of Professional Genealogists.

Ryan Brennecke The Bulletin

Continued from C1 Bernardy has traced his family tree back to ancestors who settled near Lake Michigan during the 1840s and from there to southwest Germany. During the final leg of his journey, Bernardy said he ran across a distant cousin who was working on her own family history and hit a roadblock.

“She didn’t know what happened to this one brother who went to America,” he said, adding that while the woman didn’t know what happened to her relative who emigrated to this country in the 1800s, she had done extensive research on the branches of her family that stayed in Germany.

Bernardy said he traded notes with the German woman and was able to extend his family tree back five generations in Europe.

Though they’ve only communicated with each other online, Bernardy said he and his cousin have since made plans to meet in person later this year.

Tricks of the trade Bernardy said a person who has spent a few years working on a family tree might want to take a look at someone else’s history. This is when a hobbyist might start thinking about making genealogy a career and registering with the Association of Professional Genealogists.

Rob Kerr / The Bulletin

Nancy Noble said she traced her own genealogy to a relative who fought in the Revolutionary War and even has a copy of a discharge document signed by President Washington. She was spending Tuesday at the Bend Genealogical Society Research Library with some colleagues.

“Most people who do genealogy (on a professional basis) are self-taught and have lots of experience,” he said, adding that some professional genealogists further bolster their careers by taking special classes or obtaining a genealogical certification.

Bernardy said most people who are interested in putting together a family tree can find the information or contacts they need over the Internet through genealogy websites like Ancestry.com.

But not everything is available online, said Noble, who added that sometimes the answers can be in places one never would have thought to look.

Noble recalled how she was able to track down records from when her husband’s great-great-grandmother was committed to an Oregon mental institution in 1899.

The century-old documents provided information about the clothes she was wearing and who came to visit her in the hospital in addition to information about her medical condition and treatment regimen.

She said if they hit a road block, people should also keep their eyes open for lesser-known public documents like FBI files, prison records, coroner’s inquests and the delayed birth records that were issued to people when the Social Security system was started. Records from private mortuaries and gravestone companies also help because they might shed light on who paid for someone’s final arrangements, she said.

“Every piece of these records will give you a tiny germ of information that could help you carry on to the next piece of your investigation,” Noble said as she talked about some of the information she plans to cover during her presentation to the genealogical society.

A tricky business: child actors tackling big themes Lazhar,” like those in “Ponette,” bear heavy emotional burdens. Within the first few minutes two students witness the aftermath of a teacher’s suicide.

Arguably it’s this very gap — between impressionable naivete and the extremity of the story — that gives child performances their power.

As audience surrogates they offer an artificially heightened sense of point of view, seeing everything new, with untutored intensity.

The appeal of child actors is deceptively straightforward: They embody innocence or the shock of its loss.

But the danger of overacting is ever present, as is the possibility that a child expected to act naturally may seem more stilted than an adult. Audiences can be sensitive about children cast in fraught situations and suspicious of sentimental ploys, no matter how noble the directorial intent.

Films with serious-minded preoccupations and a need for challenging performances might seem the most vulnerable to such hazards.

And yet many children have left indelible impressions in art-house classics from “The 400 Blows” and “The Bicycle Thief” to the countryside dramas of Abbas Kiarostami.

The youth of the actors, often nonprofessionals, combined with their characters’ outsize plights tend to win the audience’s sympathies, even as the stories address experiences beyond the ken of the performers.

But for directors and actors, what are the attractions and challenges of films like “The Kid With a Bike,” opening Friday, about an orphan obsessed with re-establishing contact with his father; or “Monsieur Lazhar,” opening April 13, about students dealing with their teacher’s death?

As the brothers Jean-Pierre and Luc Dardenne, directors of “The Kid With a Bike,” see it, young actors bring a thrilling element of the unknown. Jean-Pierre, speaking from the Dardennes’ office in Liege, Belgium, said: “When a child without acting experience is on set — and this is not meant in any kind of derogatory way — he brings a presence like an animal, a cat. He is there.” The Dardennes, Cannes-honored high priests of realism, have made several films centering on parent-child relationships, beginning in 1996 with “La Promesse,” featuring an untested Jeremie Renier.

Audiences can be sensitive about children cast in fraught situations and suspicious of sentimental ploys.

Film directors like Jean-Pierre, left, and Luc Dardenne elicit focused performances from child actors in films with serious, adult-minded preoccupations.

For the kid, Cyril, of the aptly named “Kid With a Bike,” the Dardennes cast the 13-year-old Thomas Doret.

Preparation was crucial — 45 days of rehearsal, in this case — and it helped that Doret was a fast learner with good instincts. “You had to give enough but not lay it on too

thick,” he said from his home in Liege, recalling a demanding scene in which Cyril apologizes to his foster mom (Cecile De France).

For younger child actors it can seem amazing that they are performing at all. One of the best examples remains the star of the 1996 French drama “Ponette”: Victoire Thivisol, at all of 4, played the title role, a girl whose mother dies in a car crash. This moonlighting kindergartener won a prize at the Venice Film Festival, even as her director, Jacques Doillon, fended off criticism by noting that a

child therapist was on set. In practice the challenges were rather basic.

“I didn’t know how to read,” Thivisol, 20, said by

phone from Paris, remembering the experience as pleasant. (For one thing, she said, it was “way better than school.”) “I had someone who was coaching me, saying the text out loud, and that was the way I learned my lines.”

Footage from the set shows her switching in and out of character, startlingly aware of what she’s doing.

Thivisol now studies acting in Paris and marvels at her precocious feat.

“That’s what I’m working to get back — the kid,” she said. “When you are acting as a kid, you just do the thing. Now you start thinking about, ‘OK, if I do like this, the spectator will perceive it like that,’ and you get a mess in your head. You have to work. I wish I could act like I was on ‘Ponette.’”

Then there is the natural charisma of child performers, often as distracting as it is beneficial.

The cute factor The Canadian director Philippe Falardeau took special care not to be distracted by cuteness when casting the youngsters who play sixthgraders in “Monsieur Lazhar,” which was nominated for the Oscar for best foreignlanguage film this year. “I take a lot of time in the audition process,” said Falardeau, who built on his experience directing a 10-year-old in “It’s Not Me, I Swear!” (2008). “I like to close my eyes and listen to them,” he said, explaining that he wanted to “believe that it’s a real kid talking in a real situation.”

The children in “Monsieur

Not infrequently experience itself is a central theme.

In the annals of child-centered cinema Volker Schloendorff’s “Tin Drum,” the 1979 adaptation of Guenter Grass’ novel, remains indelible with its portrayal of a boy in postwar Germany. The child’s arrested development and demonic drum playing stand as symbolic reminder of a past that cannot be forgotten.

Reached in Berlin, the Swiss-born actor David Bennent, who at 12 played the boy, remembered how his father, the actor Heinz Bennent, read Grass’ novel to him. “When I had a question, I asked, and he answered it without any fear,” said Bennent, who is touring Europe in a production of “Long Day’s Journey Into Night.” “If you have a very tense parent who hides everything from their kids, who hides the love, or says, ‘Please, not in front of the child,’ then for the child, it becomes very difficult.”

Despite the film’s topics Schloendorff preserved “a light rhythm” on the set, Bennent said, nurturing a sense of play in the young actor.

For young would-be stars the experience of working with such formidable talents as Schloendorff, the Dardennes and Doillon opens up creative horizons at an intimidatingly young age.

“I’m not going to mince words: I’d like to work with Spielberg,” Doret said. “I love ‘ET.’”

Local Special Olympians race the day away • About 30 area athletes are among hundreds at Mount Bachelor for the Oregon Winter State Games

By Amanda Miles The Bulletin

MOUNT BACHELOR — Rain Teeman can run like the wind.

And, perhaps even more impressive, he can do it in snowshoes.

Teeman was one of about 200 participants from across the state who converged on Mt. Bachelor ski area Saturday to compete in the 2012 Special Olympics Oregon Winter State Games for snow sports. About 30 of those Special Olympians are members of the High Desert chapter, made up of Deschutes and Crook counties.

Competition in alpine skiing, cross-country skiing, snowboarding and snowshoeing began Saturday

— Friday was a practice day — and concludes today with events starting at 9 a.m.

“I think I did good,” Teeman said of his performance Saturday, which was a beginning of sorts for the 21-year-old Redmond resident. He said he participated in Special Olympics before when he was younger but doesn’t remember doing so or even which sport he participated in.

But he made some new memories on Saturday with a busy day of racing in the 400 meters, the 400-meter relay and the 200 meters.

“I got tired on my 400 because it’s a long race,” observed Teeman, who did walk for part of that event.

ISTANBUL — Ashton Eaton, a rising American multi-event star from Central Oregon, set a world record in the seven-event heptathlon Saturday at the 2012 IAAF World Indoor Championships in Athletics.

Eaton, 24 and a graduate of Bend’s Mountain View High School, dominated the twoday competition from start to finish, capping it with an overwhelming 1,000-meter win. He broke the record he set last year by 77 points with a total of 6,645, clinching gold and the record to earn $90,000.

“I was good, fit and healthy,” Eaton said. “If all things went well, I knew I would be able to do it.”

Eaton will likely compete for decathlon gold at the London Olympics in August.

“If I keep training, the way I am making improvements, it should be a good outdoor season,” he said.

Eaton took an early lead Friday, setting a personal best of 26 feet, 9¼ inches in the long jump. He also won the 60 meters, the 60-meter hurdles and the pole vault, making up for third-place finishes in the shot put and high jump.

CHIETI, Italy — Bend’s Chris Horner took the overall lead after the fourth stage of the Tirreno-Adriatico race Saturday.

The 40-year-old Horner holds a sevensecond lead over Roman Kreuziger of the Czech Republic, with Cameron Meyer of Australian third.

Peter Sagan of Slovakia used a late burst to win the grueling fourth stage of the weeklong event. He clocked a marathon-like 7 hours, 24 minutes, 50 seconds over the 156-mile leg from Amelia to Chieti.

Horner, who rides for the RadioShack-Nissan team, was fifth.

“The legs are good, so certainly I have a shot at winning,” Horner said.

The fifth stage today features two difficult climbs and another uphill finish following a 122-mile route from Martinsicuro to Prati di Tivo. The race ends Tuesday with a 5.78mile individual time trial in San Benedetto del Tronto on the Adriatic coast.

Bob Rannow, a pro at Sandpines Golf Links in Florence, leads the 36-hole tournament after firing a 2-under 70. Three Portlandarea golfers — Jason Wood, John Delong and Scott Hval — each shot 72 to lead the tournament’s amateur division. Prineville Golf Club’s Tom MacDonald and Kah-NeeTa’s Chuck Schmidt are tied for 12th place after carding 80s. The Coca-Cola Spring Pro-Am, the Oregon PGA’s 2012 season opener, concludes today.

Track & field • Ducks claim indoor crown again: Wins by Brianne Theisen and English Gardner and a solid all-around team performance led the Oregon women to their third consecutive NCAA Indoor Track & Field championship Saturday in Nampa, Idaho. Theisen won the pentathlon for the third consecutive year, Gardner took the 60 meters and the Ducks also scored points in the mile, 400 meters and 3,000 meters in tallying 49 points. Kansas was second with 30 points, followed by LSU with 27 and Texas with 25. The Ducks joined Louisiana State as the only schools to have won three NCAA indoor titles in a row; the Tigers accomplished that in 2002-04 and 1993-97.

Baseball • Ducks divide Showcase games: Oklahoma pitchers Jonathan Gray and Jordan John combined to strike out 14 Oregon batters, and the Ducks stranded the potential tying run on third base in each of the last two innings as the Sooners won 3-2 Saturday night in a Nike College Showcase game at PK Park in Eugene.

Earlier Saturday, the Ducks blasted West Virginia 12-0 as Aaron Jones hit a grand slam, Ryan Hambright belted a three-run homer, and Kyle Garlick was four for four to back the shutout pitching of Jeff Gold.

The game was shortened to eight innings because of a 10-run rule. Oregon (11-3) is scheduled to play its final game in the Showcase today at 3 p.m. against Connecticut at PK Park.

• Beavers win one, lose one: Connecticut’s L.J. Mazzilli broke a tie with a two-run homer in the seventh inning and the Huskies beat Oregon State 6-3 Saturday night in a Nike College Showcase game at Goss Stadium in Corvallis. Earlier Saturday, OSU defeated Illinois 8-2 as starting pitcher Dan Child struck out nine and allowed one run on five hits over 8 1⁄3 innings. Michael Conforto and Dylan Davis each drove in three runs for the Beavers, who capitalized on four walks and four hit batters. Oregon State (11-5) plays its final game in the Showcase today at 11 a.m. against Oklahoma at Goss Stadium.

Hirscher of Austria, who finished third, by 92 points with one race remaining next week in Schladming, Austria. With a victory worth 100 points, Ligety must win the final race and hope Hirscher doesn’t score points. Ligety built on his commanding first-run lead to finish in an aggregate time of 2 minutes, 22.47 seconds to beat second-place Alexis Pinturault of France by 1.61. Hirscher was 2.03 behind.

Bend’s Tommy Ford finished in 17th place.

• Hoefl-Riesch wins slalom: Maria Hoefl-Riesch of Germany won a World Cup slalom on Saturday in Are, Sweden, while overall champion Lindsey Vonn skied out during her second run. HoeflRiesch edged Veronika Zuzulova of Slovakia by just one hundredth of a second. Canadian Marie-Michele Gagnon was third.

American 16-year-old Mikaela Shiffrin tied for ninth.

• Canadian dies after skicross crash: Canada and the action-sports world endured their second tragedy in two months Saturday with the death of skicross racer Nik Zoricic, who suffered head injuries after crashing into the nets on the side of the course near the final jump of a race in Switzerland. Ski authorities called it a “freak accident,” much the same way they labeled the fatal accident of Canadian freestyle skier Sarah Burke, who crashed during halfpipe training two months to the day before Zoricic’s accident.

• Zirkle retakes Iditarod lead: Aliy Zirkle was once held up as being the Iditarod’s best chance for becoming the sled dog race’s first female champion in two decades, and the 41-year-old musher’s time may finally have come. With roughly two-thirds of the nearly 1,000-mile race across Alaska left to go Saturday, Zirkle, of Two Rivers, held a strong lead thanks to strategy that put a checkpoint between herself and her competitors.

Cycling • De Gendt wins Paris-Nice stage: Thomas De Gendt of Belgium won the seventh stage of the Paris-Nice race in a breakaway Saturday in France, and Bradley Wiggins of Britain kept the overall lead.

American Levi Leipheimer tumbled from third place overall after losing time in the third of his three crashes on the day. The race finishes today with a time trial from Nice to Col d’Eze.

Motor sports • Stenhouse gets Nationwide win: Defending Nationwide champion Ricky Stenhouse Jr. led the final 54 laps at Las Vegas Motor Speedway on Saturday for his first victory of the season. Stenhouse had a strong car all day and dominated the end of the 200-mile race, pulling away from Mark Martin on a pair of restarts on the 1.5-mile tri-oval in the desert. Polesitter Elliott Sadler rallied to finish third after a lengthy mid-race pit stop to fix a vibration.

Danica Patrick was 12th in the first race at LVMS since IndyCar star Dan Wheldon was killed in a fiery crash last fall.

• Lucas leads Top Fuel: Morgan Lucas raced to the No. 1 qualifying position in Top Fuel Saturday in the NHRA Gatornationals in Gainesville, Fla., with a 3.766-second pass at 321.88 mph. Cruz Pedregon topped the Funny Car field, Allen Johnson took the top spot in Pro Stock, and two-time Gatornationals champ Eddie Krawiec had the quickest pass in Pro Stock Motorcycle history.

Richard Lipski / The Associated Press

Portland Trail Blazers’ Gerald Wallace (3) goes up for a shot against the Washington Wizards’ Nick Young during the second half of Saturday’s game in Washington.

Aldridge’s 30 lead Blazers past Wizards The Associated Press WASHINGTON — The Portland Trail Blazers have had trouble on the road all season and were coming off one of the low points the previous night. They got a muchneeded win against one of the league’s worst teams.

LaMarcus Aldridge had 30 points and 10 rebounds as the Trail Blazers beat the Washington Wizards 110-99 on Saturday night to end a four-game road losing streak.

Portland’s skid included the first two games of their current seven-game road trip, including a 104-86 defeat at Boston on Friday night.

“Whenever you lose, especially the way we lost, we’re blessed to have an opportunity to come back the next night,” said Portland’s Jamal Crawford, who scored 23 points. “Usually if you lose a game like last night, you sit on it for two or three days with the schedule the way it is.”

Aldridge shot 12 for 15 from the floor and six for six from the free-throw line, topping 20 points for the third straight game.

“I was just locked in tonight,” Aldridge said. “I just felt good.”

Raymond Felton added 21 points — 10 in the fourth quarter — as the Trail Blazers improved to 6-14 on the road, compared with 14-7 at home.

John Wall had 25 points and eight assists, JaVale McGee scored 15 points and Chris Singleton added 12 for Washington.

The Wizards were coming off a 106-101 win against the Los Angeles Lakers on Wednesday but again failed to start a winning streak. Washington has only won consecutive games only once this season.

“We couldn’t get stops together when we needed to,” Wizards coach Randy Wittman said. “We’ve got to become more committed defensively as a group. You’ve got to be able in that fourth quarter to put two, three, four stops in a row together to get over that hump, and I didn’t think we could do that tonight.”

CLASS 4A BOYS STATE TOURNAMENT

PREP SCOREBOARD

Sisters takes fifth place after a close 42-39 loss to Seaside

By Robert Husseman The Bulletin

CORVALLIS — When guard Tim Hernandez made a three-pointer with five seconds remaining, it was Sisters’ first made field goal in nearly 16 minutes.

Seaside took advantage of the Outlaws’ long dry spell from the field, outscoring them 14-9 in the fourth quarter en route to a 42-39 victory Saturday in the third-place game of the Class 4A boys basketball state tournament at Gill Coliseum.

The Outlaws (24-5 overall) beat No. 1 seed North Valley in Thursday’s quarterfinals but ended their season with two straight defeats, to Phoenix in semifinal play and then to the Seagulls of Seaside.

“I’m really proud of the guys,” Sisters coach Rand Runco said after Saturday’s defeat, which left his team to settle for fifth place in the eight-team tournament.

“We worked so hard and there were some tough teams this year.”

John Erickson led the Outlaws in the finale with 15 points and a team-high four rebounds. Chase Goff also contributed 10 points, and Eli Harrison had seven points and three assists.

Seaside and Sisters played at a slow pace and kept each other close at hand.

Neither team led by more than six points all afternoon. The Outlaws finished the game shooting 48.1 percent from the field (13-27) and made 10 of 11 free throws. But they were outrebounded 2214 for the game, grabbing just two offensive boards.

“Not scoring was a problem, but the biggie was them on the (offensive) boards,” Runco said. “We forced them to miss a lot of stuff. In a tight game, a possession game like that, you just can’t get beat on the boards.”

Sisters didn’t score its first basket, on a jumper by Erickson, until the 4:19 mark of the first quarter, but the SkyEm League champions made baskets on six consecutive possessions to take a 15-12 lead. Seaside countered with seven points on its first three possessions of the second quarter, but a Harrison jumper gave the Outlaws a 22-21 lead at intermission.

Seagulls guard Charles Hawes made a three-pointer on Seaside’s first possession of the third quarter, giving his team a 24-22 lead. An Erickson three-pointer

and a Goff basket on Sisters’ first two possessions swung the lead back to the Outlaws.

But after that, Sisters would not make another jump shot until Hernandez’s last-gasp three.

“We couldn’t get the ball down low in the second half,” Goff said. “We went in a drought. We couldn’t really get out of it.”

While the Outlaws made nine free throws in the ensuing 15 minutes, Seaside methodically chipped at their unstable lead. With 1:43 remaining, Bryan Boswell fouled Seagulls forward Eddie Soller in the act of shooting. Soller sank both free throws on his way to a teamhigh 14 points, and Aaron Chesnut made five of six free throws in the final 44 seconds of the game.

Goff and other Outlaws left the postgame locker room with wet eyes. The ultimate mission may have gone unfulfilled, but Sisters did not leave Gill Coliseum empty-handed.

“A fifth-place trophy means a lot for our community,” Goff said. “We did the best we could.”

CLASS 5A GIRLS STATE TOURNAMENT

Bend falls to West Albany, but gets first trophy in girls hoops

By Beau Eastes The Bulletin

EUGENE — Facing its second future NCAA Division-I forward in as many days, Bend High fell to West Albany 4028 in the Class 5A state girls basketball third-place game Saturday.

The result at the University of Oregon’s Matthew Knight Arena left Bend in fifth place for the eight-team championship tournament.

The Lava Bears (20-7), who on Wednesday defeated Hermiston in the quarterfinal round, lost to top-ranked Springfield and its all-world forward Mercedes Russell on Friday before falling to the Bulldogs on Saturday. Bend made school history this season by advancing to the state semifinals for the first time and taking home the Lava Bears’ first girls basketball state trophy.

“This will sting for a while,” Bend coach Todd Ervin said about his team’s loss in the third-place game. “But eventually these girls are going to look back at what they’ve done and be extremely proud of everything they’ve accomplished.”

Junior point guard Heidi Froelich led the Lava Bears on Saturday with nine points and two steals, while junior for-

Buffs Continued from D1 A No. 1 seed entering the tournament and the No. 1 team in the state based on the Oregon School Activities Association’s rankings, Madras had serious state title aspirations. But the White Buffaloes found the positives in a fourth-place finish.

“The (season) that they went through? Unbelievable,” Madras head coach Rory Oster said. “(Overcoming) adversity is what I’m proud of.

They could’ve packed it up and went home — all they were talking about was state title, state title.

“I think our seniors, Rosey (Suppah) and Abby especially, decided that we were going out on top.”

Scott shook off early foul trouble Saturday to score 24 points on eight-of-17 shoot-

Cougars Continued from D1 Blake Bosch, another senior, added 10 points, seven rebounds and two blocks, and junior Mitch Modin, the Cougars’ top returner next season, contributed 10 points, four rebounds and two blocks.

State title contenders entering the tournament — the Cougars were the Oregon School Activities Association’s topranked 5A team at the end of the regular season — the Intermountain Conference champions fell to Milwaukie 69-63 on Thursday but rebounded to defeat Churchill 56-50 on Friday before holding off Silverton on Saturday morning.

“Obviously you want to be playing in the finals,” Reid said. “But I think we showed our mental toughness these

ward Mekayla Isaak added eight points, four rebounds and three blocks. Senior Ally McConnell, in her final high school game, recorded six points and five rebounds for Bend. The Bears held West Albany to its fifth-lowest point total of the season, but they could not overcome their own offensive mishaps. Bend High trailed 12-0 before it scored its first basket, and for the game the Lava Bears made just 11 of their 44 shot attempts (25 percent).

“Defensively, we play hard all the time and that keeps us in games,” said Ervin, who has guided Bend to the state tournament twice in his three seasons as head coach. “But what we’ve learned here is that, to really compete with the elite teams, offensively we’ve got to do more.”

Led by 6-foot-3-inch senior post Samantha Siegner, who has signed to play basketball at Oregon State University next year, the Bulldogs (22-6) jumped to a 22-7 lead that Bend never could overcome. Siegner scored a game-high 17 points and grabbed seven rebounds while anchoring a 2-3 zone defense that caused the Lava Bears so many problems.

Bend played well defensively — the

Bulldogs hit just 10 of their 35 field-goal attempts (28.6 percent) — but the champions of the Mid-Willamette Conference converted 20 of their 23 free-throw attempts. Siegner was especially effective from the foul line, hitting 11 of 12 tries.

Even as they struggled shooting, the Lava Bears gave West Albany a late scare when they went on a 10-4 run in the fourth quarter to narrow the Bulldogs’ lead to nine points, 36-27, with three minutes left. But West Albany, which lost in the state finals a year ago, composed itself and outscored Bend 4-1 the rest of the game.

“It’s good to see where the program is going,” said McConnell, who also started on the Lava Bears’ 2010 state tourney team. “Since my freshman year it’s completely changed. … I just hope they keep it going.”

NOTES: West Albany outrebounded Bend High 33-28. … The Lava Bears went just four of nine from the free-throw line Saturday. … Neither team shot well from the three-point line. Bend ended the afternoon two of 15 from behind the arc, and West Albany went zero of 11.

ing. She also grabbed seven rebounds and recorded three steals. Stacona had scored just nine points in the first two tournament games combined but exploded against the Vikings for 16 points, five steals and four assists.

“I finally started to play my game this last game,” Stacona said.

Madras struggled out of the gate as Mazama took a 32-24 halftime lead. The Vikings outrebounded the White Buffaloes 17-13 and hit three three-pointers on five attempts. Madras made just one three-pointer on nine attempts and shot a chilly 38.1 percent (eight of 21) to Mazama’s 48 percent (12 of 25).

The White Buffaloes forced tougher shots for the Vikings while picking up their own offense in the third quarter.

Stacona hit two three-pointers in the period, including

the go-ahead basket with five seconds remaining to give Madras a 41-40 lead.

Mazama guard Shaylee Totten hit a three-pointer with 7:29 remaining in the fourth quarter to put the Vikings back in front, but Mazama scored just one point over the next 3:45. Madras never led by more than four points in the final minutes but sealed the victory with two free throws

by Stacona with 10.8 seconds remaining.

“That’s what Madras basketball is,” Oster said, “when they put 16 minutes like that together.”

Karena Foust scored a team-high 13 points for Mazama (24-7), the No. 2 team from the Skyline Conference.

The White Buffaloes finished their season with a 25-3 overall record.

NOTES: Madras and Maza-

last two games. Down the stretch in both games it came down to who was toughest.”

“Coaches talk about the ‘it’ factor all the time,” he added.

“Well, we’ve got a bunch of guys who get ‘it.’”

The Cougars (22-6 overall) shot lights out early, going 14 of 21 (66.7 percent) from the field in the first half. Reid scored 12 points before the break, including back-to-back threepointers that helped Mountain View take a 16-9 lead at the end of the first quarter.

Trailing 30-17 at halftime, the Foxes (22-6) made a bit of a run in the third period, outscoring Mountain View 14-11 to pull within 10 points, 4131. The Cougars hit 11 of 13 free throws in fourth quarter, though, to end their season on a two-game winning streak.

“We’ve got a couple of good

basketball players,” Mountain View coach Craig Reid said.

“But for the most part we’ve got a special group of very competitive kids.”

NOTES: The tournament concluded Craig Reid’s fouryear run coaching his son, James, the Cougars’ starting point guard for the past three seasons. “It was really special,” Craig Reid said about his son’s senior year, which ended with a 2-1 record at the state tournament. “To coach a kid that represented the program and expectations we try to teach, it was phenomenal. … I can’t tell you how proud of him I am.” … Junior guard Zach Gengler led Silverton with 19 points. …

Mountain View dominated the boards, outrebounding Silverton 33-14.

ma met in a nonleague game nearly three months ago, as the White Buffaloes took a 54-45 decision from the Vikings on Dec. 9 at Madras. … The win over Mazama marked the second year in a row that Madras won a Saturday trophy game at state. At last year’s 4A tourney, the White Buffaloes beat Henley, also of Klamath Falls, 44-30 for third place.

GOLF ROUNDUP

Watson shoots 67, holds three-shot lead at Doral The Associated Press DORAL, Fla. — Rory McIlroy thought he might have a chance at 59. Tiger Woods opened with three straight birdies and made a charge of his own. None of this bothered Bubba Watson, who figured he could go just as low Saturday at the Cadillac Championship.

All the noise about McIlroy and Woods soon disappeared when Watson started eagle-birdie. And even when Justin Rose ran off four straight birdies to catch him, Watson responded with a style of golf only he plays. He plunked a man in the gallery on one hole and regained the lead with a birdie. His target on another hole was a man in an orange shirt, and he hit that one to tap-in range for another birdie.

When his wild day ended with what Watson called his best shot of the day — “I chipped a low bullet 7-iron” — on the 18th for a routine par on a hole that makes him nervous, he had a 5-under 67 and a three-shot lead.

If the past two days were not enough evidence, Watson likes to play golf his way.

He has never had a swing coach since his late father showed him the fundamentals at age 10. He once jokingly said he shouldn’t take advice from anyone who couldn’t beat him. And when asked if his caddie helps him out, Watson replied, “He’s not very good. That’s why he’s a caddie.”

Now he’s one round away from his first World Golf Championship.

Watson was at 17-under 199, three shots clear of PGA champion Keegan Bradley (66) and Justin Rose, who lost out on playing with Watson for the fourth straight day when he three-putted the 18th from long range and had to settle for a 69.

As for McIlroy, Woods?

They were eight shots

behind on a Blue Monster course that is yielding plenty of birdies in moderate wind, but where it’s tough to catch a guy with a pink driver who belts it where few others can.

The only other player within five shots of the lead was Peter Hanson of Sweden, who nearly holed a bunker shot from a downhill lie on the 18th and shot 69.

Only once did Watson worry that his shot might go too far.

Having survived a turbulent stretch at Doral — he lost a four-shot lead over Rose in three holes — Watson’s lead was back to three shots when he was in a fairway bunker on the 16th, just over 100 yards away. He tried to blast a 64-degree wedge, caught too much of the ball, and saw it sail over the green toward a pond Watson didn’t know was there.

It hit a tower, dropped to the side, and Watson escaped with bogey. He followed with another wild tee shot on the 17th, though he managed to save par with a good pitch from the front of the green.

And on a closing hole he called “ridiculous,” he had an easy two-putt par.

No one is ready to concede victory to Watson, even Rose, who has seen enough of his action the last three days. They had a better-ball score of 59 on Friday, and 60 on Saturday.

“Three back, it’s a lot to Bubba on this golf course,” Rose said. “But at least there’s not a lot of guys ahead of you. There’s only one guy at 17 under, and the rest of the pack is right there, so it doesn’t take much.”

Also on Saturday: McNeill fires 67 for lead RIO GRANDE, Puerto Rico — George McNeill shot a 5-under 67 to take a one-stroke lead over Henrik Stenson and Kevin Stadler into the final round of the Puerto Rico Open.

Ashton Eaton crosses the finish line to win the men’s heptathlon during the IAAF World Indoor Championships in Athletics Saturday in Istanbul, Turkey.

Eaton Continued from D1 And there was no stopping him in the 1,000, when he knew another world record was on the line.

“Every 200 meters, I would look at the clock and I was thinking, ‘Geez, I’m kind of falling off pace. Pick it up.

Pick it up.’ It’s hard when you’re running by yourself,” Eaton said. “You don’t have that person to chase. But I was chasing a record.”

Despite his record-setting form, it was Eaton’s first world title.

Eaton’s performance highlighted an all-American day in Istanbul. Shortly after Eaton set the world record, Justin Gatlin earned his first gold medal since serving a four-year doping suspension, and Sanya Richards-Ross won the 400 meters by a wide margin.

Gatlin’s fear of fading into obscurity disappeared in a sprint for gold at the world indoor championships. He chased down Nesta Carter to win the 60 meters in 6.46 seconds — 0.08 seconds better than his Jamaican rival.

“It feels like I am reborn again,” said Gatlin, insisting he would be gunning for the

London Olympics at age 30, eight years after winning the 100 title at the 2004 Athens Games.

Richards-Ross won in 50.79 seconds, beating Russian Aleksandra Fedoriva by 0.97 seconds.

Her gold medal held special significance considering her husband is cornerback Aaron Ross, who plays for the Super Bowl-winning New York Giants.

“Just realized.... My hubby and I are both World Champs in a matter of weeks!!!,” Richards-Ross wrote on Twitter.

Gatlin rallied after Carter had a fast start.

“I just went and grabbed him and passed him,” Gatlin said.

After his suspension ended in mid-2010, Gatlin worked off the pounds and got the spring back in his sprint.

“The name of the game is relevancy. One of my biggest fears was to be ignored,” Gatlin said.

No more.

Gatlin was suspended after testing positive for excessive testosterone in 2006. In 2003, he won his first world indoor title with the same time.

“So it was a rebirth,” he said, less than five months before the London Games.

High Desert Special Olympian Mary Stevens crosses the finish line as the winner of a 50-meter snowshoe race during the Special Olympics Oregon Winter State Games on Saturday at Mount Bachelor.

“I like competing like that. I like it a lot because I like faster people than me, because it … reminds me of my old friends back in Eugene.”

Olympics Continued from D1 “My lungs were about to collapse on me in the middle of it, but I just kept on going until the end.”

When Teeman runs, though, he is steady, powerful and fluid, appearing almost as though he is neither wearing snowshoes nor running on snow.

He earned a silver medal in his division in the 400 earlier in the day. When competition resumed after a lunch break, he cruised as the anchor leg of one of the High Desert chapter’s relay teams and capped his day by finishing second in his heat of the 200.

“I like those ones,” Teeman said of the 100 and 200 distances. “They’re a lot easier on me and they’re a lot faster for me.”

In Teeman’s 200 heat, he waged a spirited battle with Alexander Aguas, a Special Olympian from the Eugene/ Springfield chapter. Aguas took an early lead and held it to the finish, but Teeman pushed him from close behind all the way to the line.

“I like competing like that,” Teeman said. “I like it a lot because I like faster people than me, because it … reminds me of my old friends back in Eugene.”

One of Teeman’s High Desert teammates, 30-year-old Kristel Wieglenda, of Bend, competed in snowshoeing in 2011 but switched over to cross-country skiing this year.

“It was time to switch back to cross-country skiing,” Wieglenda said.

She thought she did “pretty good” on Saturday in her events. Not even a fall during one of her races fazed her.

“You just keep on going,”

— High Desert Special Olympian Rain Teeman, on taking part in Saturday’s competition

she explained of what to do after getting back up.

Up on the alpine slopes, High Desert snowboarder Tiffany Reynolds, 24 and of Bend, picked up a gold medal

in her beginners division of the super G. Her twin sister, Tanisha, took second.

Tiffany Reynolds said that last year, her sister beat her.

(Actually, she noted later, in

2011, Tanisha beat her twice, while Tiffany won once.)

“So it’s my turn to beat her,” noted Tiffany Reynolds, who said she is older than her twin by a minute.

While Tiffany Reynolds squares off against her sister again today, perhaps Teeman will get another chance at Aguas in the 100-meter snowshoe.

Or maybe even someone faster than Aguas.

Said Teeman of racing against quicker competitors: “Yeah, it pushes me to my limit.”

MEN’S COLLEGE BASKETBALL ROUNDUP

MEN’S COLLEGE BASKETBALL: PAC-12 CHAMPIONSHIP

Missouri tops Baylor in Big 12 Colorado edges Arizona for NCAA berth

By Beth Harris The Associated Press KANSAS CITY, Mo. — It seemed as if everybody was rooting against Missouri, the school that nearly brought the Big 12 to ruin, and you can be sure coach Frank Haith and the rest of the Tigers heard them.

They made sure to leave a lasting impression on their way to the SEC. Kim English capped a phenomenal conference tournament with 19 points, Phil Pressey added 15 points and eight assists, and the fifthranked Tigers beat No. 12 Baylor 90-75 on Saturday night to win their second championship in the past four years.

“Obviously, it’s special. To win championships is just special,” Haith said. “We didn’t win the regular-season championship, but we won a conference tournament championship.”

English wound up 29 of 40 from the field in a virtuoso performance in Kansas City, and was named the tournament’s most valuable player. Michael Dixon added 17 points for the Tigers (304), while Ricardo Ratliffe and Marcus Denmon finished with 15 each.

“Kim’s play was unbelievable all weekend,” Denmon said. “He really carried us.”

Missouri’s decision to leave for the Southeastern Conference after this season drew outrage from fans of opposing teams, and all the fans from nine other schools that flocked to the Sprint Center seemed to be rooting hard against the school from just down Interstate 70.

Thousands of fans clad in black and gold in turn booed interim Big 12 commissioner Chuck Neinas when he gave away the trophy, and chants of “SEC! SEC!” arose in the closing minutes.

Perry Jones III led Baylor (27-7) with 16 points and 11 rebounds.

In other conference tourney games on Saturday: No. 4 North Carolina. . . . . . . .69 North Carolina State . . . . . . .67 ATLANTA — Kendall Marshall banked in a shot

No. 17 Florida State . . . . . . . .62 No. 6 Duke . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .59 ATLANTA — Florida State lost a 10-point lead in the second half before recovering to beat Duke and reach the second ACC tournament championship game in the program’s history.

NHL ROUNDUP

Semin’s late heroics lift Capitals past Bruins, 4-3 The Associated Press BOSTON — Alexander Semin had a goal and set up Jay Beagle’s go-ahead score to lift the Washington Capitals to a 4-3 win over the Boston Bruins on Saturday.

It was the second straight win for the Capitals after a three-game winless streak (0-2-1).

Washington moved two points ahead of Winnipeg into sole possession of eighth place in the Eastern Conference.

Washington also trails Florida by one point in the Southeast Division.

Brooks Laich and Matt Hendricks also scored, and Tomas Vokoun stopped 30 shots for the Capitals.

Brad Marchand, Milan Lucic and Johnny Boychuk scored for Boston, which failed to post its first threegame winning streak since late December. Tim Thomas, playing in his eighth consecutive game, made 26 saves.

The Associated Press

LOS ANGELES — Snubbed by the NCAA selection committee last year, then picked to finish next-to-last as a new member of the Pac-12, Colorado had all kinds of grudges going into its matchup against league powerhouse Arizona.

Freshman Spencer Dinwiddie scored 14 points, Carlon Brown added 13, and the Buffaloes won 53-51 in the league’s tournament final Saturday to earn the school’s first NCAA tournament bid since 2003.

“If you believe in destiny, you believe in the Colorado Buffaloes because it was meant to be for us,” coach Tad Boyle said.

The Buffaloes (23-11) became the first No. 6 seed to win the tournament title since Southern California in 2009 by winning four games in four days, the first time Colorado has done that in the program’s 111-year history. The Buffs, who left the Big 12 after last season,

were playing in their first tourney final since 1990, when they lost to Oklahoma for the Big Eight championship.

A year ago, Boyle hosted six seniors in his living room for the NCAA selection show. The Buffs never got called, though.

“It was the hardest day. We got shut out.

That inspired us,” said Boyle, whose current team dedicated the title game to last year’s seniors. “This team wasn’t going to be denied.”

The Buffs left the door open in the closing seconds, though. Nate Tomlinson turned the ball over and Austin Dufault missed two free throws.

“It would have been nice if we could end the game a little bit smoother,” Dufault said.

“If I could have knocked down a couple free throws or caught that pass. But we went down to the other end. Once again, we just dug in defensively and got a stop.”

Kyle Fogg scored 14 points for Arizona (23-11).

JOHN COSTA

Keep an open mind

I

n an otherwise excellent response to a Bulletin editorial, an “In My View” writer this week prefaced his response with this broad brush introduction.

“Once again a Bulletin editorial has distilled a complex natural resource conservation issue down to a simple grade-school mathematical equation to justify the paper’s ultra-conservative perspective on social and economic issues.”

Again, the body of the response was a very well thought-out critique of one of our editorials questioning the cost benefits of fish recovery.

The criticism was by a fish biologist, clearly a man who knows what he is talking about.

So why the gratuitous and wholly unnecessary insult?

After all, this scientist acknowledged the issue is a complex one.

And, of course, he cited facts to support his position, which was a valid one, but just one The Bulletin has doubts about.

So, what are the facts that support his view that The Bulletin is ultraconservative on economic and social issues?

In a phone call, he said his view was based on our near-categorical endorsement of Republican candidates for office, and that his liberal friends share the same view of The Bulletin.

If you went back and did a count of partisan races, our endorsements would favor Republicans, but not as absolutely as the writer assumes.

Also, most of The Bulletin’s endorsements focus on local offices with little or no partisan flavor. It’s all but certain that some of our non-partisan endorsees vote Democrat and liberal at election time.

But what really is curious is that this fellow calls the newspaper ultraconservative on social and economic issues.

That got me to thinking.

What facts are in evidence?

No doubt we have argued for restrained government spending. And we have consistently challenged the costs and benefits of government-dictated or underwritten environmental efforts. The rush to ethanol and the Business Energy Tax Credit are two examples that come to mind.

Similarly, we have been a longtime critic of the PERS program, which nearly everyone — Democrat as well as Republican — now acknowledges is a drag on government.

And, of course, we endorsed George W. Bush for president, which is a cardinal sin for many.

There are other positions of course, but these are a few that one side of the political spectrum can’t forgive.

But, as I asked the “In My View” writer, what about the issues that suggest another or more “complex,” to use one of his words, view?

Editorially, The Bulletin continues to be pro-civil union and pro-choice.

It has also argued for a path to citizenship for illegal immigrants and has never met a school bond it hasn’t endorsed. By the acknowledgement of the leaders of higher education, The Bulletin has been in the forefront of support of our universities, as well as singularly important in the founding of the branch campus of Oregon State University in Bend.

And, to the utter dismay of its conservative critics, The Bulletin has argued for a state sales tax, and the use of some state tax money for a rainy day fund. Those stances don’t suggest a rigid ideological organization.

Speaking to a community organization a few years ago, one of my listeners declared that I was the only tax and spend conservative he had ever met.

In any case, The Bulletin is not the only media institution labeled by readers, whether they are conservative or liberal. The regrettable political world we inhabit these days demands absolute agreement, which discourages listening to the other side.

The New York Times and The Wall Street Journal are seen as categorically liberal or conservative by many readers. That’s a shame.

They are fine publications, clearly with different points of view, but often with surprising and informative deviations that defy their political labels.

You just have to keep an open mind to appreciate them.

COMMENTARY

According to Pakistani data, a single drone strike in 2007 killed a single militant. In 2010, the strikes killed 423.

Rick Loomis / Los Angeles TImes

The Predator drone has proven to be an effective weapon that offers both real-time surveillance and offensive firepower for troops on the ground.

The ‘secret’ war

By Pir Zubair Shah • Foreign Policy

“We don’t even sit together to chat anymore,” the Taliban fighter told me, his voice hoarse as he combed his beard with his fingers. We were talking in a safe house in Peshawar as the fighter and one of his comrades sketched a picture of life on the run in the borderlands of Waziristan. The deadly American drones buzzing overhead, the two men said, had changed everything for al-Qaida and its local allies.

Oregon needs transparency in health reforms

G

ov. John Kitzhaber hopes his new health reform will deliver better health care at lower cost. But in the crusade to reach those goals, it looks like the

public will be shut out when critical decisions are made.

Kitzhaber signed Senate Bill 1580 on March 2. It will launch coordinated care organizations, or CCOs, to provide care to Oregon Health Plan members in a region.

CCOs work like this: They get a fixed budget from the state. They must hit health goals set by the state. They have flexibility in how they actually provide care.

The Oregon Health Authority has now released hundreds of pages of draft rules that explain in greater detail how CCOs will work.

There are, in fact, requirements that CCOs release performance data to the public.

But the issue that was left vague is how much the public will be able to have access to the CCOs meetings in which decisions are made.

The draft rules say only that a CCO must “describe how it will assure transparency in governance.�

On its face, that means each CCO comes up with its own plan.

That’s a recipe for ensuring the public doesn’t get to know what’s

going on.

Karynn Fish, a spokeswoman for the Oregon Health Authority, said the language is a placeholder that urges transparency and gives CCOs flexibility. But Oregon has a public meetings law that requires that the public’s business gets done in public. Why are we granting a de facto exemption for CCOs? They will be spending public money. They are doing the public’s business. They are providing public health care. The public should be allowed in.

One of the longstanding problems in figuring out why health care costs keep going up or in improving care has been the lack of transparency. Oregon’s “reform� continues in that tradition.

Under the old system, when the state was making decisions about the Oregon Health Plan, it was done in a public process with public meetings. In this move to reform health care, Oregon also moves to exclude the public.

Proposed ban on school logos is wrong

I

t’s not hard to see why the word squaw or savage is offensive. But chief or brave? How about fighting Irish, or Celtics, or Highlanders?

What about the cowboys?

The Oregon Board of Education is considering a proposal to require Oregon schools to eliminate all Native American mascots and logos.

That would be a mistake.

The proposal asserts the “harmful impacts of racial stereotyping of sports mascots in the social identity development and self-esteem of Native American young people.â€? It claims that “research findings link the use of Native American symbols as mascots, logos and team names and the detrimental effect on the achievement, education, selfconcept, and self-esteem of Native American students ‌â€?

We have no argument with the need to remove truly offensive names as mascots or any other use.

The problem is in defining what is offensive.

This proposal would declare offensive all uses of Native American references. That goes too far.

Words like chief and brave and warrior speak to admirable qualities of courage, strength and leadership. Many would see them as honoring Native Americans.

Indeed, at least one proponent

of the ban would exempt tribal schools: the Chemawa Indian School’s Braves and the Siletz Valley School’s Warriors. Apparently the words are only offensive if a non-Indian school uses them.

Clearly, what is offensive is open to interpretation, which is the problem with such a blanket ban.

We like the example of Roseburg, where the high school mascot is the Indians. The school consulted with the Cow Creek Band of Umpqua Tribe of Indians and eliminated its warrior logo and other imagery to satisfy concerns, according to a report in The Oregonian. But they are still the Indians.

The newspaper quoted tribe spokesperson Susan Ferris, who praised the cooperation between the school and tribe, and expressed concerns about the state getting involved. She worried such a ruling “doesn’t provide for the considered thoughtfulness that would create solid change.�

In some communities, mascot names are part of the community fabric, and changing them would have social as well as financial consequences. Those who find them offensive should work with local officials to express their concerns. Let Roseburg’s example be a model and keep statewide rulings out of the picture.

Keep trapping off public lands

By Celeste LaMosse he front page story on Feb. 20 in The Bulletin, “Caution urged among spate of trapped dogs,� both saddened and enraged me. The accompanying tutorial on how to free your dog from a trap was gruesome and horrifying. Readers are IN MY being urged to carry industrial strength wire cutters on them during walks with their dogs on public lands. What’s next?

Trapping is outmoded and barbaric. The fact that the veterinarian had difficulty handling her own dog when it was caught in the trap, due to its extreme pain, is evidence enough that trapping is cruel. The traps must be checked every two days. Imagine the suffering of any creature stuck in a trap. Is wearing a fur coat or having fur trimmings on clothing articles worth inflicting such monstrous, hideous suffering on an animal?

When I read through the instructions on freeing a dog from a trap, I shuddered. Do I have to carry these instructions with me whenever I walk my dog on public lands? I doubt very much I would either have the physical strength or be in a calm enough state of mind to attempt the rather complex maneuvers it takes to free a hysterical, biting, screaming animal from a trap, especially if it was my own dog.

That brings to mind another

T

point. I am constantly reading posts on Craigslist for lost pets, often dogs lost while hiking. How many of these have ended up languishing in a trap somewhere? Do you really think a trapper is going to attempt to free any pet it finds caught in a trap?

The article stated VIEW wild animals are often shot with a gun, if they aren’t dead already from cold, predation or loss of blood. Any pet caught in a trap is going to be crazed with pain, making even freeing it very difficult without being bitten. Surely a trapper is going to be upset that his trap was “wasted� with a pet, won’t take a chance on being bitten and is just going to shoot the animal.

Do you really think the trapper is going to try to locate the owner of the pet caught in the trap, or take it to a vet? Nope, it goes in a shallow grave or dump.

Traps don’t just catch the fur bearing animals they are intended for. They also capture birds, small rodents, cats, etc. — all “junk� nuisances to the trapper.

And God forbid the family who is hiking the public lands with children. It doesn’t take much imagination to envision the scene of a small child who steps or stumbles into a trap with its traumatic consequences.

I would love to hear the explanations from the trappers themselves

When I read through the instructions on freeing a dog from a trap, I shuddered. Do I have to carry these instructions with me whenever I walk my dog on public lands? on why they continue this practice.

Fur sales are on the decline.

Surely they aren’t catching enough bobcats and lynx to be making this an especially profitable sideline. Once again, trapping is an outmoded and barbaric practice that serves only the vanity of a handful of unenlightened, thoughtless people.

Trappers are fond of saying traps don’t really “hurt� the animal, that the animal is most bothered by being confined and unable to escape.

I think the dog owners who experienced this with their pets firsthand would beg to differ.

I don’t want trapping on public lands. I myself will spring and destroy any traps I find while hiking, consequences be damned.

Please think twice before buying fur. Even farm raised fur animals suffer enormously. With all the technology out there, we don’t need fur anymore to stay warm. — Celeste LaMosse lives in Bend.

It’s time to cast a responsible vote and throw the bums out

By Carroll F. Asbell re we entitled to vote? I believe the overwhelming response would be “yes,� however I would also believe that there would be copious disagreement with current federal and state laws that determine a qualified voter.

IN MY The spectrum of opinion might range from the idea that everyone should be allowed to vote or the call for much tighter restrictions on who should be qualified to vote. If our founding fathers were asked, the answer is evident, as the eligible voters would be limited to landholders and few others.

The vote would be withheld from the masses considered lacking the abilities to cast an informed, responsible vote.

My question is much narrower: Do all the current legally qualified voters deserve the right to vote?

The Concise Oxford English Dic-

A

tionary defines “deserve� as a verb, meaning “do something or show qualities worthy of (a reward or punishment as appropriate).�

If the right to vote is one of the most precious rewards of American citizenship, isn’t the responsibility to cast an informed, responsible VIEW vote an obligation worthy of consideration? Voter trends, demographics, ethnicity, religion, education, income and any identifiable facets of all voter groups have been studied, analyzed, dissected and categorized with incessant zeal to determine how voters can be swayed to cast their ballots in favor of some referendum or political machinator. How do we stack up? Have we improved our system by widening the voting rolls? Let us consider.

We collectively demonstrate an emotional acceptance of half truths, lies, damn lies and destructive nega-

tive presentations, no matter how thinly masked as fact or by what source as long as it fits our ignorant precepts and bolsters our self interests. We approve of the Congress by less than 12 percent yet fail miserably at ousting the entrenched politicians.

Leadership, honor, patriotism, duty, pride and self-sacrifice are seldomused terms almost gone from our lexicon, and are only associated sparingly with our military, and can never be uttered in the same breath with our ĂŠminence grise. Our political ranks are filled from top to bottom with mediocre, self-aggrandizing clans scrambling upon each other to maintain the fiction that they alone are worthy of your support in maintaining our republic for your benefit.

Half of the population receives some form of government largess, half pay no taxes, the greatest financial burden fall on a minute number

that are pilloried for being successful and are admonished for “not doing their fair share� — never quantified, but just “more.�

Class warfare is openly espoused from the very top of the political anthill and envy has been replaced by “occupy� hate and thuggery replete with progressive sanction and protection. Is there still a hardworking silent majority to awaken and restore our solidarity as a proud nation or have the scales tilted in favor of the government-addicted generations of public employees, unions and dependant dead-weight drones our system has produced?

The entrenched establishment, addicted by the aphrodisiac of power, whipsaws the emotional zealots of both stripes thus keeping any hope of achieving a common goal at bay. Until we break the cycle of caroming from left to right, propelled by the same entrenched establishment charlatans,

we have no chance of breaking free of the destructive spiral of distrust that exists.

We have no cohesive leaders and no decisive direction we can agree upon — thus we are a wandering tribe of disgruntled and self-indulgent losers destined to pass from the field of world leadership and economic stability. Think Rome or Greece.

The blueprint for our democracy was drafted sound and capable of being successfully and fairly sustained when spearheaded by reagents with the qualities we once held dear — leadership, honor, patriotism, duty, pride and self-sacrifice. Until we conclusively turn out the power-addicted perpetual failures we have employed for the past decades, we will never regain our self-reliance and faith in our fellow citizens. Vote responsibly; throw your favored bums out! — Carroll F. Asbell lives in Prineville.

Sick and tired of the Middle East A

mericans — left, right, Democrats and Republicans — are all sick of thankless nationbuilding in the Middle East. Yet democratization was not our first choice, but rather a last resort after prior failures.

The United States had long ago supplied Afghan insurgents, who expelled the Soviets after a decade of fighting. Then we left. The country descended into even worse medievalism under the Taliban. So after removing the Taliban, who had hosted the perpetrators of 9/11, we promised in 2001 to stay on.

We won the first Gulf War in 1991.

Then most of our forces left the region. The result was the mass murder of the Iraqi Kurds and Shiites, 12 years of no-fly zones, and a failed oil-for-food embargo of Saddam’s Iraq. So after removing Saddam in 2003, we tried to leave behind something better.

In the last 10 years the United States has spent more than $1 trillion and has lost thousands of American lives in Iraq and Afghanistan. Both places seem far better off than when ruled by the Taliban and Saddam Hussein — at least for a while longer.

Yet the Iraqis now bear Americans little good will. They seem friendlier to Iran and Syria than to their liberators. In Afghanistan, riots continue over mistaken burning of some defaced Korans, despite serial American apologies.

VICTOR DAVIS HANSON How about the choice of bombing the bad guys and then just staying clear? We just did that to the terrorist-friendly Gadhafi dictatorship in Libya. But now that Gadhafi is gone, there is chaos. Islamic gangs torture and execute black Africans who supported the deposed regime, according to press reports. British World War II cemeteries that were honored during 70 years of Libyan kings and dictators could not survive six months of a “free” Libya. In Benghazi, gangs just ransacked and defaced the monuments of the British war dead.

Not having boots on the ground may ensure that endless chaos will consume the hope of a calm post-Gadhafi Libya. That was also true of Somalia and Lebanon after American troops were attacked and abruptly left.

How about another option of aid and words of encouragement only?

We have urged Egyptian reform, under both George W. Bush and now Barack Obama. When protestors forced the removal of dictator Hosni Mubarak, the United States approved. It even appears likely that we will keep sending Egypt significant annual subsidies of more than $1.5 billion — as we have for more

than 30 years. Yet anti-American Islamists are now the dominant force in Egyptian politics. American aid workers were recently arrested and threatened with trial by new Egyptian reformers.

Still another American choice would be not to nation-build, bomb, or even get near a Middle Eastern country — as is the case with Iran and Syria. The United States has not had diplomatic relations with Iran since the Shah left in 1979. Until the Obama administration desperately tried to re-establish contacts with the Bashar al-Assad regime in Syria by appointing a new ambassador, there had been nearly six years of estrangement.

Yet Iran is nearing its goal of obtaining a nuclear weapon both to threaten Israel and to bully other oil-exporting regimes of the Persian Gulf. The Syrian government is now butchering thousands of its own citizens with impunity.

A final option would be to return to the old policy of re-establishing friendly relationships with Middle East dictatorships regardless of their internal politics — and then keeping mum about their excesses.

We did that with Pakistan, which has both received billions in U.S. aid and produced a nuclear bomb.

Yet it is hard to imagine a more antiAmerican country than nuclear Pakistan, without which the Taliban could not kill Americans so easily in Afghanistan.

The United States once saved the Kuwaiti regime after it was swallowed up by Saddam Hussein. We have enjoyed strong ties with the Saudi monarchy as well. Neither country seems especially friendly to the U.S. It is still a crime to publicly practice Christianity in Saudi Arabia. Fifteen of the 19 mass-murdering hijackers of 9/11 were Saudis. Oil in the Middle East costs less than $5 a barrel to produce; it now sells for over $100, largely due to the policies of our allies and OPEC members.

Let us review the various American policy options for the Middle East over the last few decades.

Military assistance or punitive intervention without follow-up mostly failed. The verdict on far more costly nation-building is still out.

Trying to help popular insurgents topple unpopular dictators does not guarantee anything better. Propping up dictators with military aid is both odious and counterproductive.

Keeping clear of maniacal regimes leads to either nuclear acquisition or genocide — or 16 acres of rubble in Manhattan.

What have we learned? Tribalism, oil and Islamic fundamentalism are a bad mix that leave Americans sick and tired of the Middle East — both when they get in it and when they try to stay out of it.

Los Angeles Times

A

few years ago I bought a cookbook titled “Kill It and Grill It” for my boyfriend, a Yale grad who hunted and fished.

Admittedly, I offered the gift ironically. I’d been drawn to it by its cover photo of ’70s rocker Ted Nugent and his wife, Shemane, each clad in a denim vest and clutching a rifle and knife, respectively. As a native of rural Michigan, I saw the image as both funny and dismaying. They kind of look like families I grew up with, I thought. But who buys a cookbook with a gun on it?

And yet, thumbing through it at home, I found passages that were eerily similar to the books and articles on local food I was beginning to read with regularity. On Page 121, I found something that could have been written by Michael Pollan. “The closer we can get to eating fruit from the tree, meat off the hoof, or vegetables from the ground, the better,” wrote Shemane in the 2002 book.

Shemane also warns that, in analyzing food ingredients: “If you can’t pronounce it, chances are it is not real food.” Sound familiar? Pollan’s Food Rule No. 7, formulated nearly a decade later, advises us, “Avoid food products containing ingredients a third-grader cannot pronounce.”

It would be easy to dismiss this overlap as little more than a missed opportunity for a reality show: A boar-hunting battle between Nugent and Pollan, or a cook-off between Alice Waters and Shemane. There

is plenty on which ardent pro-gun supporters and the marquee names advocating for local and sustainable food do not agree. And yet, maybe that’s precisely the point.

One reason those imagined contests are funny is that we tend to think that taking food seriously is the exclusive domain of those who are affluent, well educated and — let’s be honest — liberal. These assumptions are made by all sides, whether it’s Alice Waters insisting that some people don’t eat well because they prefer “to buy Nikes, two pairs,” or Sarah Palin tweeting that Michelle Obama’s efforts to make school food healthier represent a “nanny state run amok!”

Both comments are painfully far removed from the reality of most Americans’ lives. I know this not from my daily life as a writer in New York but because, in 2009 and 2010, I worked — and ate and lived — undercover researching America’s food system for a book. I made use of food banks alongside indigenous Mexicans I met in California fields, shared lunch breaks with single moms on my shift at a Michigan Wal-Mart, ate with my fellow kitchen workers at a New York City Applebee’s. If there’s one thing I learned, it’s that Palin and Waters are missing a very important fact: Many (and I would guess most) Americans care quite a lot about their food and health. The problem is that many of them find it incredibly difficult, because of time and money and access, to do much to improve the quality of what they eat.

It was Patti Good, a Kmart cashier

from a declining Detroit suburb, who drove that point home for me. I was interviewing people who receive federal food assistance and participate in a matching-funds program called Double Up Food Bucks at the city’s Eastern Market, a bustling retail and wholesale farmers market spread across five massive sheds that have stood there for 150 years. Patti had driven 13 miles to get an extra $20 worth of produce. “You can’t afford stuff like that all the time,” she said of oranges, adding that last year, with Double Up’s help, she’d been able to afford a real splurge: a pineapple.

Eastern Market is a bright spot in Detroit’s food landscape. City residents there have only about 1.6 square feet of grocery store per person; industry metrics consider 3 feet per person to be necessary to facilitate a sufficient food supply.

Nationwide, 23.5 million Americans live in “food deserts” — neighborhoods with insufficient grocery

The Washington Post

P

resident Obama boasted at a United Auto Workers conference last week that General Motors was back in business, producing cutting-edge vehicles like the plug-in electric Chevrolet Volt. He even promised to buy one when his time in office ends “five years from now.”

Whoops! Just three days later, GM announced that it would suspend Volt production for five weeks this spring, idling 1,300 workers at a Hamtramck, Mich., factory.

Alas, Obama’s endorsements notwithstanding, there’s not much of a market for this little bitty car, at least not at the price of almost $32,000 — after a $7,500 federal tax rebate.

GM fell 2,300 units short of its sales target (10,000) for 2011. It is not on pace to hit 2012’s goal of 45,000 units.

So much for Obama’s goal of 1 million all-electrics and plug-ins on the road by 2015.

A123 Systems, a maker of electriccar batteries that has received $374 million in state and federal loans, announced 125 layoffs last fall. The cause: problems at its main customer, Fisker Automotive, which builds expensive plug-in electric cars. Fisker

got a half-billion in loans from the Energy Department, though the money was recently frozen because of the company’s failure to meet production targets.

These events confirm the wasteful folly of allocating capital according to the dictates of politicians, such as when Sen. Charles Schumer, D-N.Y., declared in November 2008: “A business model based on gas — a gasguzzling past — is unacceptable. We need a business model based on cars of the future, and we already know what that future is: the plug-in hybrid electric car.”

The electric vehicle flop also illuminates a point about science — or the politics of science.

Democrats and liberals are fond of calling their conservative and Republican adversaries “anti-science.”

To the extent that the right espouses “creation science,” or disputes established facts about environmental degradation, it’s an appropriate label.

But progressives’ fascination with electric cars and other alternativeenergy schemes reflects their own refusal to face the practical limitations of alternative energy — limitations that themselves reflect stubborn scientific facts.

Stubborn Scientific Fact No. 1:

Petroleum packs a lot of energy per unit of volume. (Each liter contains 34 megajoules.) Consequently, gasoline makes a cheap, portable and convenient motor fuel.

By contrast, even state-of-the-art batteries deliver far less energy than gas, in a far bigger package. A Volt can go 35 miles on a single charge of its 435-pound battery. This sounds like a big deal until you realize that a gas-engine Chevy Cruze gets 42 miles per gallon — and costs half as much as a Volt.

It costs a fortune to pump, refine and ship crude oil. Yet even accounting for all that, gas-powered cars are a better value than electric vehicles and will be for some time. Gas savings on the Volt would take nine years at $5 per gallon to offset its higher price over the Cruze, an Edmunds. com analysis found last month.

Gas consumption creates “negative externalities” — instability in the Middle East, carbon emissions — not fully reflected in its price. But another fact about electric vehicles is that their juice comes from the fossil-fuelburning grid in the first place.

Oh, and how are you supposed to resell your electric vehicle once you’ve driven it five years and the battery is depleted?

T

Advocates insist that the government should help them crank up mass production of electric vehicles.

Once economies of scale kick in, they argue, electric vehicles can compete.

Four decades after the 1973 oil crisis, this logic is wearing thin. Any company that figured out how to build a practical mass-market electric car would be swimming in cash.

That no one has done so suggests we are bumping up against the limits of nature, not just politics or economics.

Certainly the many hundreds of millions of dollars that the U.S. government, GM and GM’s competitors have poured into the effort might have been better spent on more plausible energy-efficiency efforts, such as advanced internal combustion engines.

Instead, Big Government and Big Business have focused on the Volt, the Fisker Karma or the Tesla Roadster, none of which is remotely affordable for the “99 percent” of Americans.

And yet in his 2013 budget, Obama proposes to boost the tax credit for electric vehicle buyers to $10,000.

What’s “progressive” about that, I’ll never understand.

stores. The traditional explanation for food deserts is that there is insufficient demand for groceries in some neighborhoods, but Patti made me wonder if this isn’t a semantic hiccup.

People everywhere have to eat; there is always demand for food, just as there is always demand for water. The challenge isn’t that people don’t want fresh food; rather, it’s how to get it to them at affordable prices. Supermarkets are one way, though their absence in communities, one expert told me, is an example of a “market failure.” Eastern Market offers another — and one, I noticed, that kept prices competitive by nixing the middleman.

Between Patti and the Nugents, I’ve lost any patience for the idea that caring about food is elitist; that’s just culture war posturing. Now, when people spout off about foodie pretensions or the poor’s misplaced priorities, I tell them about Patti, or I urge them to read the first few pages of “Kill It and Grill It.” “It is good to know exactly where one’s food comes from,” writes Ted. “We sure as hell wouldn’t waste good hunger or any one of our much anticipated family mealtimes on fast food or junk food.”

So is Nugent a foodie? Given the term’s liberal, urban connotations, I doubt it. But the ideas he shares with the people who are offer a reminder that good food is something on which most Americans already agree.

Electric vehicle is a road trip to fantasy land

By Charles Lane

Israel’s best friend he only question I have when it comes to President Barack Obama and Israel is whether he is the most pro-Israel president in history or just one of the most.

Why? Because the question of whether Israel has the need and the right to pre-emptively attack Iran as it develops a nuclear potential is one of the most hotly contested issues on the world stage today. It is also an issue fraught with danger for Israel and U.S. Jews, neither of whom want to be accused of dragging America into a war, especially one that could weaken an already frail world economy.

In that context, Obama, in his interview with The Atlantic’s Jeffrey Goldberg and in his address to AIPAC, the pro-Israel lobby, offered the greatest support for Israel that any president could at this time: He redefined the Iran issue. He said — rightly — that it was not simply about Israel’s security, but about U.S. national security and global security.

Obama did this by making clear that allowing Iran to develop nuclear weapons and then “containing” it — the way the U.S. contained the Soviet Union — was not a viable option, because if Iran acquires a nuclear bomb, all the states around it would seek to acquire one as well. This would not only lead to a nuclear Middle East, but it would prompt other countries to hedge their commitments to the global Nuclear Nonproliferation Treaty. The global nuclear black market would then come alive and we would see the dawning of a more dangerous world.

“Preventing Iran from getting a nuclear weapon isn’t just in the interest of Israel, it is profoundly in the security interests of the United States,” the president told The Atlantic. “If Iran gets a nuclear weapon, this would run completely contrary to my policies of nonproliferation.

“The risks of an Iranian nuclear weapon falling into the hands of terrorist organizations are profound. It would also provide Iran the additional capability to sponsor and protect its proxies in carrying out terrorist attacks, because they are less fearful of retaliation. … If Iran gets a nuclear weapon, I won’t name the countries, but there are probably four or five countries in the Middle East who say, ‘We are going to start a program, and we will have nuclear weapons.’ And at that point, the prospect for miscalculation in a region that has that many tensions and fissures is profound. You essentially then duplicate the challenges of India and Pakistan fivefold or tenfold.”

In sum, the president added, “The dangers of an Iran getting nuclear weapons that then leads to a free-forall in the Middle East is something that I think would be very dangerous for the world.”

Every Israeli and friend of Israel should be thankful to the president for framing the Iran issue this way. It is important strategically for Israel, because it makes clear that dealing with the Iranian nuclear threat was not Israel’s problem alone. And it is important politically, because this decision about whether to attack Iran is coinciding with the U.S. election.

The last thing Israel or U.S. friends of Israel — Jewish and Christian — want is to give their enemies a chance to claim that Israel is using its political clout to embroil America in a war that is not in its interest.

That could easily happen because backing for Israel today has never been more politicized. In recent years, Republicans have tried to make support for Israel a wedge issue that would enable them to garner a higher percentage of Jewish votes and campaign contributions, which traditionally have swung overwhelmingly Democratic.

As such, no one should want domestic electoral politics mixed up with the Iran decision, which is why it was so important that the president redefined the Iran problem as a global proliferation threat and grounded his decision-making in American realism, not politics.

Reports from the AIPAC convention this week indicated that those advocating military action were getting the loudest cheers. I’d invite all those cheering to think about all the unintended and unanticipated consequences of the Iraq war or Israel’s 1982 invasion of Lebanon. That’s not a reason for paralysis. It’s a reason to heed Obama’s call to give diplomacy and biting sanctions a chance to work, while keeping the threat of force on the table.

I respect that this is a deadly serious issue for Israel — which has the right to act on its own — but Obama has built a solid strategic and political case for letting America take the lead.

Putin’s rise in Russia “The Man Without a Face: The Unlikely Rise of Vladimir Putin”

by Masha Gessen (Riverhead, $27.95)

By Oline H. Cogdill Sun Sentinel (Florida)

By Leon Lazaroff Bloomberg News

More than 300 hostages — half of them children — were killed in a Beslan schoolhouse in 2004, following a firefight between their Chechen captors and Russian troops. Ten days later, President Vladimir Putin announced a sweeping overhaul of Russia’s political system.

He declared that regional governors as well as the mayor of Moscow would be appointed by the president rather than elected. Members of the lower house of parliament would also be appointed. Political parties would have to re-register, making it all but impossible to get on a ballot without Kremlin approval.

The upshot of the changes was to undermine — if not obliterate — the quasi-functioning democracy that had taken root in Russia since the Soviet Union collapsed in 1991, writes Moscow-based journalist Masha Gessen in her engrossing and insightful book, “The Man Without a Face: The Unlikely Rise of Vladimir Putin.” From then on, the president would be the only directly elected federallevel public official.

On Sunday, after consolidating his power through eight years as president and four as prime minister, Putin was returned to the presidency with about 64 percent of the vote. Having convinced his fellow lawmakers to increase the length of the presidential term to six years, Putin could head his country until 2024.

Gessen sees Putin as a man driven by control and vengeance, not ideology. When he was first elected president in 2000, he said his aim was “strengthening vertical power,” and Gessen shows that he has attained his goal.

The heartbreaking massacre at the Beslan schoolhouse is only one of a series of ghastly and, Gessen argues, suspicious events that enabled Putin to use fear to consolidate his hold on Russian society.

In 1999, just after Putin left the secret police to become prime minister, a series of explosions leveled entire apartment houses in several Russian cities. And in 2002, there was the three-day-long hostagetaking at Moscow’s Dubrovka theater, which left 129 dead.

Gessen manages to reconstruct these formerly opaque chapters in recent Russian history. She is not so reckless as to allege that Putin was somehow behind these events. She does charge, however, that “once the hostage-takings occurred, the government task forces acting under Putin’s direct supervision did everything to ensure that the crises ended as horrifyingly as possible — to justify continued warfare in Chechnya and further crackdowns on the media and the

Moscow-based journalist Masha Gessen reconstructs formerly opaque chapters in recent Russian history in “The Man Without a Face: The Unlikely Rise of Vladimir Putin.”

opposition in Russia.”

By imprisoning one-time oil baron Mikhail Khodorkovsky and harassing fund manager William Browder, founder of Hermitage Capital Management, Putin made crystal clear that independence and criticism had its limits. (Sergei Magnitsky, a Browder lawyer who alleged a government attempt to defraud Hermitage, died in prison in 2009.

A Kremlin human-rights committee said last year that he was probably beaten to death.)

Sprinkled through the book are other stories of intimidation and murder. The lawmaker Sergei Yushenkov was shot dead in broad daylight while investigating the theater siege, dissident agent Alexander Litvinenko was murdered in London by radiation poisoning and Yuri Shchekochikhin, an outspoken politician who had also been investigating the theater siege, died after ingesting an “unknown toxin.”

Gessen doesn’t see these events as random or uncon-

nected. “Putin’s Russia,” she writes, “is a country where political rivals and vocal critics are often killed, and at least sometimes the order comes directly from the president’s office.”

Gessen came of age in the late 1980s as Mikhail Gorbachev’s glasnost, or openness, spawned groups of “informals” where people would talk about politics and social issues.

Those were heady times.

While Russia was convulsing, Putin was a KGB functionary stationed in East Germany. In January 1990, he watched a crowd storm the Stasi building in Dresden.

Putin told his biographer that he phoned the Russian military representatives, only to be told nothing could be done until they heard from Moscow, but that “Moscow is silent.”

“I realized that the Soviet Union was ill,” he said. “It was a fatal illness called paralysis.

A paralysis of power.”

He felt abandoned, Gessen says. When he returned to Leningrad, the people he “and his colleagues had kept in check and in fear — the dissidents, the almost-dissidents and the friends of friends of dissidents — now acted as if they owned the city.”

Putin spent much of the 1990s as a rising government official, first in St. Petersburg and later in Moscow, resenting the surge of the new democrats almost as much as Russia’s loss of world power and prestige.

Recalling the tone Putin set early in his presidency, Gessen observes that “Soviet instincts, it seemed, kicked in all over the country, and the Soviet Union was instantly restored in spirit.”

Each of Randy Wayne White’s novels about Marion “Doc” Ford contains a science lesson that, rather than stops the plot, becomes an integral part of these action-packed tales.

While readers will indeed learn something about the environment in White’s novels, these tutorials reinforce Ford’s background as a marine biologist who is a committed ecologist and counterbalance his secret life as a government agent.

Ford’s double persona again becomes central to the story in “Chasing Midnight,” the 19th novel in this series set in Sanibel Island, Fla. Here, the ecology lesson is about sturgeons who are overfished for the caviar they can supply to connoisseurs.

White’s vivid descriptions about how the sturgeons are fished and their eggs harvested, as well as the dealings on the black market, are enough to make anyone want to avoid caviar. That is even if you could afford the expensive little fish eggs.

But “Chasing Midnight” isn’t a textbook, it is a gripping thriller with lots of gadgets, international intrigue and secret spy stuff — all of which White fans have come to expect from the Ford novels.

Ford and his hippie best friend Tomlinson wrangle an invitation to a Russian entrepreneur’s exclusive party on his yacht docked near a pri-

vate island located near Sanibel Island. Ford knows the Russian is heavily involved in black market caviar. The party guests also include a group of vocal “eco-activists” and the Russian’s three most powerful and wealthy rivals who have traveled from Iran, Turkey and China. His brag that a sturgeon is caged beneath the yacht piques Ford’s interest.

Suspecting there may be even more illegal activities stashed underwater, Ford dives under for a close-up look. He surfaces to find the island’s power out, the entire island’s communications jammed and a man with a gun looking for him.

Did the rivalry between the three men erupt? Or have the unfriendly activists turned terrorist and, if they did, was Tomlinson involved? Ford also wonders if he is the target because of his “shadow life” as an NSA associate.

White keeps the action taut, even when Ford is forced to spend a long time water bound. Whether on land or in the water, Ford goes into survivor mode, becoming an island MacGyver, cobbling together tools that will help him until he can contact the outside world. If he can.

The heart of the series continues to be the Odd Couple friendship between straight and narrow Ford, and Tomlinson, “an unrepentant hipster who reeked of patchouli oil and enlightenment.”

As with the other novels in this series, “Chasing Midnight” delivers a primer on Florida’s beauty, history and natural resources.

Couple haunted by mistakes of youth “The Lost Daughter”

by Lucy Ferriss (Penguin, $15)

By Amanda St. Amand St. Louis Post-Dispatch

If all the bad choices people made as teenagers returned to haunt them as adults, the world would be filled with fearful and guilt-ridden people. Most people get away with those bad choices with few repercussions, but in Lucy Ferriss’ novel “The Lost Daughter,” they come back big for Brooke O’Connor.

Brooke lives in Connecticut with her husband, Sean, who is from a big Irish-Catholic family. But Brooke and Sean have only one child, a daughter named Meghan, which sets them apart from Sean’s brothers and their evergrowing families. Brooke is determined not to have another child. She tells Sean it’s because of her difficult pregnancy with Meghan, but the truth is it’s because of the

unplanned pregnancy and delivery she went through in high school with her longtime boyfriend, Alex.

The baby was stillborn — or so the young couple told themselves. But Alex, now divorced after losing his young son to illness, returns to Hartford, meets with Meghan and tells her he is determined to do the right thing. He thinks he killed their newborn baby, and he wants to confess to what happened.

As the author introduces a smart young teenager named Nadja, it becomes clear that there was no death: Nadja is the daughter that Brooke delivered at that motel.

As a couple, Brooke and Sean are believable because they know so much about each other, yet both also harbor secrets with the power to damage their marriage. And Ferriss, to her credit, sheds much light on the struggles in their partnership as well as the strengths.

In ‘Embrace,’ there are similarities to ‘Twilight Saga’ “Embrace: A Novel”

by Jessica Shirvington (Sourcebooks Fire, $16.99)

By Susan Carpenter Los Angeles Times

If angels are the new vampires, then “Embrace” is a worthy follow-up to “The Twilight Saga.” The kickoff to a new young adult series from debut author Jessica Shirvington has many of the same strengths — and flaws — as the Stephenie Meyer blockbuster with a heroine who doesn’t understand her own strengths and becomes entangled in a complicated, steamy, love triangle.

“Embrace” opens on the eve of Violet’s 17th birthday — a bittersweet occasion that overlaps with the anniversary

of her mother’s death. Violet knew her mom had died in childbirth. What she didn’t understand was that her mother knew she would die and had prepared a gift and a cryptic, premonitory letter for Violet to open 17 years later, warning her of a “big decision” and encouraging her to “believe in the unbelievable” and “choose with (her) heart.”

Violet, it soon becomes clear, is an angel of exceptional power. She just needs to embrace that destiny to realize it fully. And to do that, she must literally jump off a cliff.

Unbeknown to Violet, her pairing with the self-defense expert with whom

she was training, and falling in love, for two years wasn’t accidental. The ridiculously gorgeous Lincoln had sought her out to complete a partnership deigned by the angels’ ruling body, the Seraphim. Lincoln hadn’t told Violet they were destined to be angel partners — or that consummating their attraction for each other was forbidden. She finds out by accident, and, as a result, becomes angry at Lincoln for his betrayal.

Violet’s anger toward Lincoln is relentless but tinged with desire. It’s also overblown since his reasons for secrecy were reasonable. This romantic meltdown is a critical plot point that propels Violet into the arms

of another desirable male who may not be good for her, but it also reveals the fatal flaw of “Embrace” — that Violet, who tells the story from her perspective, is somewhat unlikable.

Shirvington has a terrific story to tell, and she does a great job of slowly unspooling a complicated plot involving angels at war, but her writing style lacks grace. There’s quite a bit of scantily clad clubbing and some sexual content in “Embrace,” but the descriptions are mostly PG. There are also some fairly grisly murder scenes.

“Embrace” isn’t without its issues, but it’s an interesting enough story that many readers will want to continue with the next installment to see how the intriguing love triangle evolves.

SUNDAY, MARCH 11, 2012 • THE BULLETIN

Drones Continued from F1 Making matters still more difficult, the targets are in one of the world’s most inaccessible areas, one that has traditionally been out of bounds for outsiders and where the state of Pakistan has nominal or no governing authority.

Although the drone campaign has become the linchpin of the Obama administration’s counterterrorism strategy in Central Asia — and one it is increasingly exporting to places such as Yemen and the Horn of Africa — we know virtually nothing about it.

‘A noise in the air’ The evening of June 18, 2004, was a sweltering one in South Waziristan, and the 27year-old local Taliban leader, Nek Muhammad Wazir, had decided to eat dinner in the courtyard of his house in the village of Kari Kot, along with his two brothers and two bodyguards. Muhammad’s satellite phone rang, and he picked it up. Moments later, a missile streaked through the compound and exploded, killing all five men.

At the time, no one in the Pakistani public or media knew that it was a drone. The government would say nothing, and everyone else attributed Muhammad’s killing either to a Pakistani military operation — after all, soldiers had gone looking for him without success on six occasions — or to the work of U.S. forces across the border in Afghanistan.

A Taliban fighter who was within earshot of the explosion told me later that the militants were totally taken by surprise.

“There was a noise in the air before, and then we heard the explosion,” he recalled. The villagers, however, supplied the explanation: They collected the fragments of the missile, on which was printed in black, “Made in USA.” Then, in late 2005, a similarly mysterious explosion killed Abu Hamza Rabia, a high-ranking Egyptian member of al-Qaida, outside North Waziristan’s capital city, Miram Shah. President Pervez Musharraf refused to explain what had happened, saying only that he was “200 percent” sure Rabia was dead.

But a local reporter named Hayatullah Khan, who lived in the next village over from where Rabia was killed, had gone to the site to sift through the rubble. Amid the debris were pieces of a Hellfire missile. He took pictures, which swiftly appeared in newspapers around the world.

The photographs directly contradicted the statements of Musharraf’s government, which had variously claimed that Pakistani forces killed Rabia or that the militants blew themselves up by accident.

The following month, Khan was abducted by gunmen. His body was found six months later near the Afghan border with handcuffs on his wrists; he had been shot in the back, apparently while trying to escape. When I visited his family in North Waziristan a year later, Khan’s brother told me he blamed the ISI. In January 2006, shortly after Khan’s disappearance, I got an early-morning phone call at my home in Islamabad from a colleague at Newsday, where I was then working as a fixer and bureau manager.

There had been another drone strike in the Bajaur tribal area, he told me; could I go investigate? I picked up a friend who worked for the BBC and drove north to Bajaur to see my first drone strike. It would be the first newspaper story to appear under my own byline — and my first experience covering the drone war.

As we drove into Damadola, a farming village sprawled across a wide valley, I spotted the bodies of a cow and a calf, splayed out underneath a tree with their eyes wide open.

Nearby were the fresh ruins of three houses.

The drone’s presumed target had been Osama bin Laden’s deputy, Ayman al-Zawahiri, who had been rumored to be in the area. I arrived on the scene ahead of most other reporters, and the families of the victims took me to see their newly dug graves. “All those killed, including women and children, are from this village,” a villager told me as he showed me the burial site. “There were no foreigners here.”

Then I noticed something odd: Although I counted 13 graves, the locals would only tell me the names of seven

women and children who had been killed. When it came to the men, they were silent.

Later, a Pakistani official told me foreigners had indeed been present, including Zawahiri, though he had left some time before the missile hit. Drones were not yet common, but the fugitive al-Qaida No. 2 had long since become accustomed to moving quickly from place to place.

Accomplishments It was in September 2006 that I heard a drone for the first time, flying over the mudwalled village of Ali Khel, a couple of miles west of Miram Shah.

It was a hot summer night, too hot in the house of the building-contractor friend with whom I was staying, so I had gone out to sleep in the open along with several laborers who worked for him. The men were telling me about their travels in Afghanistan, how they would cross the border to fight for the Taliban and then return after a week or two to North Waziristan to work and make some money. Then I heard the buzzing, far above our heads — like a bee, but heavier and unceasing, drifting in and out of earshot. The laborers said nothing.

On the other side of the Tochi River, in the village of Khatai, lived a famous Taliban commander whom the Pakistani military had once tried to kill. The operation had been a debacle; the military lost at least two senior officers, and hundreds of soldiers found themselves besieged not only

by Taliban fighters but by the local villagers.

But the small, lethal machine flying far overhead had accomplished what the Pakistani soldiers could not. “Nowadays he doesn’t live here all the time,” my host that night said as he pointed toward the commander’s nearby compound. “There are drones in the air now.”

Taliban fighters speaking a Waziri dialect of Pashto call the drones bhungana — “the one that produces a bee-like sound.” Their local adversaries call them ababeel — the name of a bird mentioned in the Quran, sent by God to defend the holy city of Mecca from an invading army by hurling small stones from its mouth.

Over the several days I spent in Ali Khel I became accustomed to their sound. It was there all the time. During the day it was mostly absorbed into the hum of daily life, but in the calm of the night the buzzing was all you heard.

This kind of reporting trip, risky as it was, had become increasingly necessary, given the cagey and outright confusing response by the Pakistani government to the escalating air war over its territory.

When news of the early attacks got out, officials were evasive, suggesting that the militants had been killed while making explosives in their compounds. Then, after a drone strike took out a madrasa in the Bajaur tribal area in October 2006, killing more than 80 people, the government claimed that Pakistani bombers had done the job.

Militants responded that November with a suicide bombing of a military barracks in the Dargai area of Malakand district, killing 42 soldiers and wounding dozens more.

The government learned its lesson, retreating back into ambiguity. From that moment on, only the residents of the areas targeted by the drones would have a clear understanding of what was happening — but those areas were mostly beyond the reach of the media.

From home to war zone If the conduct of the drone war is mysterious, the terrain over which it is fought is not, at least to me — I have known it all my life. I was born in South Waziristan, to parents from two different Pashtun tribes, in a town that had been famous in the British colonial era for its gun and knife factories. My ancestors had come from Afghanistan as preachers, and I had taken my first steps as a child in the Afghan city of Khost, just across the border, where my maternal grandfather lived.

After graduating from university in Islamabad in 2001, I had returned to the tribal regions to prepare for my civil service exam. As unthinkable as it seems now, it was then the most peaceful, tranquil place I knew, and I spent my evenings in Bajaur studying with a college professor in preparation for a career in Pakistan’s for-

Drone strikes in Pakistan have erupted into a heated debate — and rising tensions — between U.S. and Pakistani officials.

eign service. During the days I would travel with my uncle, a government irrigation engineer, to villages in the area, meeting the residents and elders.

As the media poured into Afghanistan and Pakistan after the 9/11 attacks, someone with my background and Englishlanguage skills was suddenly very much in demand, and I got my first job in Newsday’s Islamabad bureau. On my trips back to Waziristan, I saw the landscape of my childhood transforming into a war zone. By 2004, people I had known there in my youth were on all sides of the region’s worsening conflict, in the Taliban and al-Qaida, as well as the Pakistani military and intelligence services.

The Taliban started adapting. The militants had come to realize that the increasingly effective drone strikes made them look weak, and they began getting rid of the evidence as fast as they could. After every attack they would cordon off the area and remove the bodies of the dead, making it difficult to verify who and how many people had been killed.

Going to the site of a drone attack became a futile exercise.

I made my last visit to Waziristan in June 2007. People there knew I worked for an American newspaper; fearing for my safety, my family discouraged me from going.

The military was turning away representatives of foreign news organizations, and the Taliban had grown increasingly paranoid — a fact I learned the hard way a year later.

It was a hot, sunny day in July 2008, and I had set out from Peshawar with a photographer to report on the Taliban in the Mohmand tribal area, where the group had taken over a series of marble quarries.

After meeting up with a local guide, we arrived in the village of Ziarat and headed toward the local Taliban checkpoint.

We had dressed in the traditional salwar kameez and had worn hats in an effort to blend in. My photographer was from Karachi, though, and I worried that his presence would mark us as outsiders. I asked him to stay near the car while I ventured out to the checkpoint, where I interviewed a contractor working in the mines. As I was about to finish my interview, I saw my photographer approaching, so I wrapped up the conversation and hustled him back to the car.

But it was too late. A bearded man shouted at us — he had seen the photographer’s camera bag.

We were escorted away from the main road in our car.

The Taliban held us in a prison in the base of a mountain, guarded by young volunteers from a nearby village. When we arrived, all our belongings, including our cellphones and money, were confiscated. But we were treated well — better, at any rate, than the prisoners we saw chained up in the neighboring rooms.

In the evening two Taliban came to our room. “Who is the Waziristani?” one of them asked. I said it was me, and I followed them into a half-destroyed room elsewhere in the compound.

“Tell us who really you are,” one of them said. They looked through the contacts in my cellphone, demanding to know why they included the commander of the Frontier Corps, the regional U.S.-trained paramilitary force the Taliban were fighting. The questioning went on for three days. I told them I was a reporter. My Waziristan connections were of some help, but they posed a risk, too: I knew the local Taliban had recently attacked my family’s village in the nearby district of Tank, killing more than a dozen of my relatives. I didn’t want them to know that I knew.

Finally, Abdul Wali, the local Taliban leader, arrived and, satisfied that we were who we

said we were, ordered our release. They had to be vigilant, he told us.

“People come here under the guise of journalists and photographers, and they either take pictures of our locations and pass them on to the authorities or drop a SIM (card) to facilitate a drone strike,” he said. “You never know who is a reporter and who is a spy.”

Not-so-secret war Among Waziristan’s residents, “I will drone you” has by now entered the vocabulary of day-to-day conversation as a morbid joke. The mysterious machines buzzing far overhead have become part of the local folklore.

“I am looking for you like a drone, my love,” goes a romantic Pashto verse I’ve often heard the locals recite. “You have become Osama; no one knows your whereabouts.”

But it was only when WikiLeaks released its cache of U.S. State Department cables beginning in late 2010 that Pakistanis learned just how complicit their government has been in the drone campaign.

A February 2008 cable from the embassy in Islamabad reported that Pakistan’s Army chief, Gen. Ashfaq Parvez Kayani, met with the U.S. Centcom commander, Adm. William Fallon, and asked the U.S. military for “continuous Predator coverage of the conflict area” in South Waziristan, where the Pakistani Army was fighting

the militants at the time.

“Kayani knows full well that the strikes have been precise (creating few civilian casualties) and targeted primarily at foreign fighters” in Waziristan, asserted a February 2009 cable signed by Anne Patterson, then the U.S. ambassador.

In an August 2008 meeting with Patterson, Prime Minister Yousuf Raza Gilani — the same man who, after Navy SEALs dropped into Pakistan to raid bin Laden’s compound last year, warned that “Pakistan reserves the right to retaliate with full force” — gave Patterson his go-ahead for a drone campaign in Pakistan’s tribal regions.

“I don’t care if they do it as long as they get the right people,” he told her, according to a U.S. cable. “We’ll protest in the National Assembly and then ignore it.”

Eventually, the disclosures prompted a response: In March of last year, Pakistani Maj. Gen. Ghayur Mehmood, the commander in North Waziristan, appeared before reporters in Miram Shah and told them, “Myths and rumors about U.S. Predator strikes and the casualty figures are many, but it’s a reality that many of those being killed in these strikes are hard-core elements, a sizable number of them foreigners. Yes, there are a few civilian casualties in such precision strikes, but a majority of those eliminated are terrorists, including foreign terrorist elements.”

It was an unusually candid public statement on the drone strikes from a high-ranking Pakistani official. Mehmood also provided something else that had until then been missing: official numbers. According to the government’s figures, he said, 164 drone strikes had taken place since 2007, killing 964 terrorists: 793 locals and 171 foreigners.

The dead included Arabs, Chechens, Filipinos, Moroccans, Tajiks, and Uzbeks. The figures also confirmed the dramatic escalation of the drone war. In 2007, the government said, a single drone strike had killed a single militant. In 2010, the strikes had killed 423.

Some such admission was

F5

probably inevitable; the revelations in the WikiLeaks cables and Pakistan’s obvious inability to stop the attacks put the government in a position where it had to say something.

Arguing that the drones were killing real terrorists was the best option available.

But it was also an acknowledgment of defeat: The secret war has become a lot less secret. At first, the tribal areas of Pakistan had seemed to present the perfect testing ground for a remote-controlled military strategy.

But even as the Obama administration was increasingly embracing the drones as an alternative to the boots-onthe-ground military actions it inherited from its predecessor, its secret war was becoming as much a political liability as a precision weapon.

As the strikes have continued, they have given rise to a narrative that explains away the country’s worsening radicalization and extremist violence as a product of the drones.

In reality, the country’s worsening anti-Americanism is driven more by the portrayal of the drones in the Pakistani media, which paints them as a scourge targeting innocent civilians, than by the drones themselves. Few Pakistanis have actually visited the tribal areas or even know much about them. Until the United States and Pakistan come clean about the program, though, it is an image that will persist, worsening the frictions within Pakistan’s already divided society and between the United States and Pakistan.

That’s too bad, because in reality Pakistanis are deeply torn about the drones. For every anti-American rant they inspire — the recent meteoric rise of Imran Khan, the cricketer turned politician, owes a great deal to his strong opposition to the drone strikes — there is also a recognition that these strikes from the sky have their purpose.

Resale rip-off • Investigation: Fla. regulators failed to address onslaught of timeshare resale schemes

By Jordan Novet The Bulletin

wenty-six years ago, Doc and Connie Hatfield invited 14 ranching families to their 32,000-acre Brothers ranch and established a cooperative to get more antibiotic-free beef into the hands of consumers.

Having met with supermarket owners in Portland and Salem, the Hatfields had learned that they weren’t interested in carrying a small amount of beef for a fraction of the year. They wanted a yearround supply. Thus the formation of the cooperative, which has been known as Oregon Country Beef and Country Natural Beef.

Today the cooperative has 70 ranch families producing beef sold in Whole Foods Market locations, Newport Avenue Market and other stores in 12 states.

The Hatfields won the High Des-

ert Museum’s Kerr Award in 2001 for their positive impact on the region’s culture or natural resources and an Oregon Governor’s Gold Award in 2007.

Last year the cooperative passed the 25-year mark. Ranchers gathered at the Hatfield ranch, where it all started, to celebrate the achievement.

“They changed the industry countrywide,” said Zhaohui Wu, an associate professor of business at Oregon State University, speaking of Country Natural Beef. “Over 25 years, they have (gotten) the biggest in this niche industry, natural beef.

When they started, nobody was doing that.”

BEER MADNESS

Craft brew finds welcoming atmosphere in Denver

By Dan Frosch New York Times News Service

DENVER — Each time Scott Witsoe opens up his one-man brewery in a drab industrial park near downtown, he gets a rush of euphoria, a sensation quickly eclipsed by panic.

“I feel like I’m in dream mode,” said Witsoe, 37, a Seattle-transplant who started the Wit’s End Brewing Co. in September after being laid off from his job at a mixed-martial-arts clothing company. “I also always worry, ‘Is anyone going to come in?’ Fortunately, they are.”

Not only are people frequenting Witsoe’s establishment, they are flocking to the other breweries sprouting up around Denver, which are transforming forgotten neighborhoods into hip hangouts and luring largely young residents to try their hand at the brewing business.

As more Americans crave artisanal alternatives to Miller and Budweiser, the craft brewing industry — made up of independent brewers specializing in smaller batches of uniquely flavored beer — has exploded around the country over the past

few years. According to the Brewers Association, a national trade group based in Boulder, Colo., there were nearly 2,000 craft breweries operating last year, the most since the late 1800s. Craft sales grew by 15 percent in the first six months of 2011, compared with the same period in 2010.

Beer is poured from a tap at the Denver Beer Company in Denver. Quirky state alcohol laws, a storied brewing culture and a patchwork of well-carved neighborhoods have created ideal conditions for startup breweries in Denver.

They called a California man with dementia and got him to spend hundreds.

They called a Washington woman, drowsy on pain pills and dying of cancer, and charged thousands.

They called a desperate Kentucky man who couldn’t say no, and took his life savings.

Every day in Florida, teams of telemarketers dial around the clock from behind blacked-out windows in strip malls and office buildings across the state.

They introduce their company and make a promise: For an up-front fee, they can do what most timeshare owners find impossible — sell an unwanted timeshare. They have buyers waiting on the other line, they say, or pitch advertising methods that guarantee a sale.

Owners desperate to get rid of yearly maintenance fees trust strangers calling from Florida. And get nothing in return.

Timeshare resale schemes have quietly become the most rampant form of consumer fraud in Florida, affecting people across the United States and in some foreign countries. The state Attorney General’s Office received 964 complaints against Florida timeshare resale companies in 2008. Then 2,929 in 2009.

Then 12,257 in 2010.

Last year, even with a dip in calls, Florida’s fraud hotline fielded more complaints about timeshare resale companies than the next four categories of consumer complaints combined.

The Tampa Bay Times reviewed thousands of those complaints and spent six months investigating timeshare resale companies and the state’s attempts to stop their abuses. Despite an avalanche of allegations, Florida regulators and law enforcement agencies at every level have failed to take basic steps to protect consumers and curb fraud: • State rules ban people convicted of certain crimes from getting licensed to run telemarketing companies or work for them, including timeshare resale. But until last summer regulators did not run background checks on most applicants. Instead, the Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services took their word that they had no criminal history.

•The department repeatedly renewed licenses for timeshare resale companies that had been fined for breaking state rules and, in some cases, accused of fraud by dozens of customers.

• When timeshare companies break the rules, the Attorney General’s Office avoids criminal prosecutions in favor of settlement agreements that let companies stay in business and do not require owners to admit wrongdoing. The agreements have recouped about $6 million, a fraction of the money victims have lost.

• Despite more than 2,600 complaints against timeshare companies in Pinellas and Hillsborough counties, many of them alleging criminal fraud, police agencies here have not built a single case.

That leaves federal agencies to chase far more cases than they can possibly handle.

Timeshare resale is a legitimate business. For a fee, companies agree to advertise an owner’s timeshare in publications or on their websites.

THE BULLETIN • SUNDAY, MARCH 11, 2012

M

Timeshare Continued from G1 Buyers and sellers are on their own to actually strike a deal and transfer the timeshare’s deed.

As with any advertising, the product does not have to sell for the fees to be legitimate.

Experts say salesmen commit fraud, though, when they falsely suggest they have a buyer ready to make an offer, or overstate their company’s advertising reach.

In one of the few criminal cases brought against a timeshare resale company, a federal judge sentenced Jennifer Kirk to 15 years in prison in January. According to U.S. attorneys, Kirk ran a network of Florida companies that made $30 million in two years by promising owners quick sales but doing no real advertising.

Scores of Florida companies suspected of doing the same thing are unlikely to face similar scrutiny.

Spokeswomen for Attorney General Pam Bondi and Agriculture Commissioner Adam Putnam said their agencies do everything they can to curb resale fraud. “We do the best we can with the resources we have,�

Putnam spokeswoman Liz Compton said. “We recognize the weaknesses and try to correct them as we can.�

Bondi spokeswoman Jennifer Meale defended settlements as the best way to quickly get money back for consumers.

Lawsuits and criminal prosecutions can be costly and take months or years to complete.

Bondi’s biggest achievement in the fight against resale fraud, Meale said, is a new bill that would require timeshare resale companies to be more forthright about their advertising methods. Bondi announced the bill in October, after months of records requests from the Times and three days before a scheduled interview with the paper.

Meanwhile, customer complaints continue.

Even timeshare resale company owners concede that their industry is rife with fraud. Those who agreed to speak to the Times said their companies are legitimate and that they have been tarred by a handful of bad players.

When asked to explain the repeated customer complaints against their own companies, the owners blamed individual employees who broke the rules. Chris Mazzone, former president of Timeshare Registry International in Dunedin, said complaints can also be the result of misunderstandings. “We’re salespeople. We paint a picture,� said Mazzone, 50, whose company had more than 150 complaints registered with the state in 2010 and 2011. “There is a difference between painting a picture and lying.�

Tips to avoid trouble Timeshare resale companies sell you advertising. Beware of any company that promises a quick sale or suggests a buyer is already lined up. Avoid companies that call unsolicited. Well-promoted timeshare resale websites generate their own business.

And verify where the company will advertise your timeshare. If you can’t easily find the company’s website with a Google search, no one else can either.

How to sell your timeshare A few will broker your timeshare, which means no up-front fees. The company gets paid a percentage when you get paid.

There are also do-it-yourself options. Try Redweek.com, an eBaystyle website that charges about $59.99 a year to advertise your timeshare.

If none of that works, some companies, including Timeshare Cure, will agree to take your timeshare — for a fee.

Since timeshares entered the American vacation market in the 1970s, millions of Americans have been swayed by the standard sales pitch: Buy a week at a resort for life, and you’ll never have to worry about vacation costs rising with inflation.

For almost as long as timeshares have been sold in America, though, owners have struggled to resell them.

Timeshares make poor investments. Their initial prices are inflated by marketing costs and their values usually plummet after purchase.

Annual maintenance fees, which cover upkeep, can spiral into the thousands of dollars.

The resale market is so poor, you can find timeshares for sale on Craigslist and eBay for $1. Owners are just looking for someone to take over the maintenance fees. Some owners even end up paying someone to take their timeshares. “Without a secondary market,� an industry representative once told the Orlando Business Journal, “timeshare ownership is a trap from which there is no exit.�

spends nearly $500 a year on maintenance fees.

The man said his name was James Gibson. He worked for Meridian Media Group.

According to Kidd, Gibson said he had a client interested in buying her Las Vegas timeshare.

The catch: Gibson needed $1,474 in advertising fees.

Kidd questioned the man.

She lives on a fixed income, she told him, and rarely uses her credit card. She said the man assured her she’d have her check from the sale of her timeshare before her credit card bill was due.

When Kidd was transferred to another employee to pay her bill, she was warned that there was no guarantee of a sale.

But she said Gibson told her that was just a formality. I’m a good Christian, he told her, Kidd says. You can trust me.

Her timeshare never sold.

When Kidd called back, Gibson wouldn’t take her calls, she said.

Kidd’s allegations are among nearly 25,000 complaints against timeshare resale companies filed with the state Attorney General’s Office since 2008.

Many of the victims are elderly. Some are desperate to get rid of their timeshares and the annual maintenance fees they can no longer afford. In their desperation, many agree to pay more to advertise their timeshares than the units are worth.

Jack Willick was an 87year-old retired Los Angeles police officer with dementia.

In January 2010, Willick’s daughter noticed a strange $899 charge on his bank account from a company she’d never heard of — Pro Player Timeshare Resale.

Susan Cox lost more than $10,000. The Richland, Wash., woman is dying of bone cancer and said she was under the influence of painkillers when the phone rang.

Then there is Charles Wetherell.

The 84-year-old retired chemical engineer nearly wiped out his life savings trying to sell his five timeshares.

From 2006 to 2011, according to his family, Wetherell spent more than $200,000 on timeshare resale companies, most of them in Florida.

Wetherell’s wife, Grace, has dementia and lives in a nursing home. They have a grown son with Down syndrome they had hoped to provide for in their will. Their other children did not realize until early 2011 what their father had done.

Wetherell’s daughter says her father now only has enough money to get through the next year. “They were preying on a man who, for whatever reason, thought he was doing what he was supposed to do,�

Kathy Kaufling said. “I’d like to see them prosecuted to the nth degree.�

Wetherell didn’t want to be interviewed for this story.

While Kaufling was at her father’s Louisville, Ky., home early last year helping him sort through his finances, she noticed that the phone rang incessantly. He was still getting four calls an hour from timeshare resale companies trying to get his business.

She changed his number, over his protests. No one ever called about buying one of his timeshares.

Thousands of victims

Failure to regulate

One night in March 2011 a man in a small, windowless office building in Clearwater dialed the phone. In Greenville, N.C., a 68-year-old retired nurse and grandmother named Rosey Kidd picked up.

Kidd owns a timeshare in Las Vegas she rarely uses. She

In Florida, professionals who use the phone to solicit business must first get a license from the state Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services.

of certain crimes, including felonies, and lesser crimes involving theft or “moral turpitude.� The rules also require the agency to deny a license to anyone who lies about a criminal record.

But for years, until summer 2011, the department only “spot-checked� applicants, according to department spokeswoman Liz Compton. Even now, the agency only checks for convictions in Florida, a practice that saves money but fails to prevent felons from soliciting over the phone.

In 2006, James Gibson applied for his first telemarketing license in Florida. Gibson, then 34, wrote that he lived in Clearwater and had never been convicted of a felony.

State regulators took his word for it.

Over the next five years, Gibson applied to renew his $50 license annually. Each year he marked “NO� when asked if he had ever been convicted of a felony. State regulators repeatedly approved his license application, even after he began racking up complaints from customers who told the Attorney General’s Office he lied to get their money.

A simple background check by state regulators would have revealed that Gibson had a string of felony convictions in Washington and Oregon. Instead, they never knew about his out-of-state history.

Gibson’s first felony conviction was for attempted kidnapping in 1990, according to Oregon state records. He was convicted of seven more felonies in the next six years. .

Not a priority While state agencies have struggled to handle the thousands of timeshare resale complaints flowing into their offices since 2008, local law enforcement agencies in the Tampa Bay area have basically ignored the dozens of local companies generating complaints.

In 2009, two former Pro Player Timeshare Resale employees — Louis Curto and Maia Ciesluk — opened C&C Timeshare Resale in St. Pete Beach.

Within months, two customers had called St. Pete Beach police and accused the company’s telemarketers of taking money for promised sales that never came through.

An officer visited C&C’s office, a small red building with reflective windows on Blind Pass Road. C&C employees gave the officer a sample contract, which stated that customers were buying advertising with no guarantee of sale, St. Pete Beach police Detective Sean McAuley said.

The officer told the upset customers that their complaints were not criminal matters. If they thought they had been ripped off, they needed to sue in civil court.

The response is typical of local law enforcement agencies, which often do not want to invest time and resources pursuing difficult fraud cases.

Just because a company gets a signed contract does not mean it has not committed a crime, however.

Bruce Reppert, assistant U.S. attorney in the Southern District of Illinois, has sent several people connected to

Florida timeshare resale companies to prison. If the contract does not match the sales pitch, Reppert said, a crime has occurred. “I think there’s a misunderstanding as to what constitutes a crime sometimes,� he said. “A lot of telemarketers think they can very carefully word scripts so that, when parsed, they can say what they tell consumers is not technically false.�

The Times asked more than a dozen police agencies in Hillsborough and Pinellas counties if they had pursued a timeshare resale fraud case in recent years. All said no.

Pinellas County Sheriff’s Office spokeswoman Cecilia Barreda and Clearwater public safety spokeswoman Beth Watts said their agencies usually forward complaints to the Department of Agriculture. St. Petersburg police Sgt. Kevin Smith said his department relies on other agencies to lead such investigations.

Orlando police once had a similar policy. Timeshare resale complaints were forwarded to the attorney general until late 2010, when Orlando Sgt. Amy Ameye realized that none of the complaints were resulting in arrests. Some of the companies had been fined, Ameye said, but that wasn’t enough. “They’re more than willing to pay the fines because they make so much damn money,� Ameye said.

Closing up shop The storm may have passed for timeshare resale.

Complaints peaked in 2010 at 12,257, then dropped to 8,700 last year.

Experts say scams are cyclical. After a few years, consumers get wary and stop taking calls. But without changes in policy at both the state and local levels, there is nothing to prevent a different scheme from spreading as far and as fast as timeshare resale scams.

Most of the local companies the Times reviewed have closed. Chris Mazzone says he shuttered Timeshare Registry International in 2009 because the market dried up. He noted that many of his peers kept selling, even though they knew clients would probably never sell their timeshares. “It just became ugly,�

Mazzone said. “I didn’t see myself staying in the business with the lack of integrity in it. My conscience wouldn’t allow it.�

Mazzone now runs a company that schedules appointments for home security system installations from the same Dunedin office.

Nekenja Franklin is also using his old office for a new business. He declined to comment for this story, other than to say Pro Player Timeshare Resale is closed. His new company, U.S. Digest, sells magazine subscriptions.

Gibson works for Resort Property Depot in St. Petersburg, according to state licensing records.

Gibson previously worked for Clearwater’s Meridian Media Group.

In December, Meridian Media moved out of its office. Employees loaded telephones, chairs and other office equipment into trucks.

They took down several plaques from the wall just inside the office’s heavily tinted doors. The plaques honored the company’s “Star of the Month.�

One name stuck out, because it was repeated, month after month: James Gibson.

Curbing laptop squatters • Coffee shops try to strike a balance with Wi-Fi users

Coffee shops, like Cafe Jumping Bean, vary in their approach to dealing with people who work from their cafes. A new technology from Sony could allow those owners to charge people for plugging in devices to electrical outlets.

By Jonathan Bullington Chicago Tribune

CHICAGO — It’s about noon on a Tuesday and Nina Simms is 3½ hours into the workday, her eyes shifting from her laptop only long enough to take a sip from her water glass, which sits next to an empty coffee cup. When the 28-year-old Evanston, Ill., graduate student is done, she won’t punch out at a time clock; instead, she’ll leave her neighborhood coffee shop.

Laptop users like Simms are increasingly soaking up wireless Internet connections and electrical outlets at their local coffee shops, along with their lattes. Their presence creates a delicate challenge for some owners who want to keep a welcoming atmosphere but also maintain the type of customer turnover necessary to run a profitable business.

Some coffee shop owners try to strike a balance by providing free Wi-Fi connections in two-hour windows, requiring patrons to make a purchase to receive the Wi-Fi password. In some high traffic Starbucks locations in New York City, managers have resorted to blocking access to

Beef Continued from G1 Last year the academic publisher Routledge released a book by Wu and Portland State University Professor Mellie Pullman that contains a case study on the evolution of the cooperative, whose end products have no hormones or artificial ingredients.

The case study, which Wu, Pullman and a graduate student produced in 2010, has caught the attention of beef-industry analysts and some state media outlets, said Wu. Having studied the company’s organizational structure, supply chain and competition, the professors are now using the case study as a teaching tool. They’re asking students to figure out how to further develop the company, Wu said.

Over the years, the cooperative has expanded, faced conflicts, changed leadership and made tweaks to reflect higherthan-ever feeder-cattle prices.

Now its success has given birth to a legacy and model for other agricultural producers to consider.

Doc Hatfield has pancreatic cancer. He believes he’s in his last weeks of life, he said in a phone interview on Thursday.

But one thing that hasn’t changed after all these years for the company he and his wife started is the availability of the group’s beef at Bend’s Newport Avenue Market.

Weekly phone calls It was Connie Hatfield who, in 1986, strolled into the west Bend store and sold the meat manager at the time on some of the new cooperative’s products — leaner, hormone- and antibiotic-free beef that could appeal to customers.

The idea came to her after talking to a Bend fitness gym manager, who said his members should eat healthier beef, which was sometimes available from Argentina.

In the cooperative’s first two years, the ranches had just three to 10 head of cattle available each week, Connie Hatfield said.

“I’d be out there, walking around and researching stores that might be good and want our product,” she recalled. “I’d sit there at 5 in the afternoon and watch the customers and kind of get a feel. I’d buy an apple and ask who was the owner. And then I would make an appointment with them and go in and talk to them.”

She described the cooperative’s style of operations and promised transparency regarding profit goals. If store owners weren’t keen on listening to the pitch and instead asked for bottom-line numbers, she knew the pairing wouldn’t be ideal, she said.

Considerable growth in demand came in 1990, after a Japanese restaurant chain asked for 60 head of cattle per

electrical outlets, the idea being that laptop users will pick up and leave when their batteries run dry.

Panera Bread locations around Chicago and the suburbs limit customers to 30 minutes of W-Fi access daily during the lunch rush, employees at several locations said, and have done so for the last couple of years.

Sony is even developing an electrical outlet that can read a user’s identity and set limits on electricity use, essentially allowing businesses to charge people for charging their devices.

He started limiting access in late 2007 after receiving complaints from crucial lunch-crowd customers who couldn’t find a seat among laptop users. When some people called him “nuts,” he worried the decision would kill his 18-year-old business. Instead, the move proved fruitful — revenue increased easily by 30 percent, he said.

“I was amazed,” Delgado said. “The weekend policy worked like a charm. ... People

Listen to the ranchers W a t c h a vid e o t h a t s h o w s C o u n tr y N a t u r al B e e f r a n c h e r s t alkin g a b o u t t h e c o m p a n y a t h t t p ://media.oregonstate.edu/index.php/ show/country_natural_beef?id=0_roc6gu7x

week, according to a history of the company on its website.

And in 1994, Whole Foods began stocking the ranchers’ beef.

From the company’s earliest days, the cooperative’s leaders have required each ranching family to visit with customers in stores at least two days a year. Dressing the part — donning a cowboy hat and boots — is part of the deal.

The tradition is still in place, even if it might not bring more sales right away.

“One rancher remarked, ‘Marketing events represent a loss of time and money to members for whom ranching is a full-time job,’” the case study states. “‘I drove 200 miles yesterday, spent six hours at one store, got up this morning to do it again here, and I’ll drive home tonight.

“But when it’s all said and done, it’s important each one of us get to know our customers, share stories, and let ’em know what goes into the product, what their choice in selecting our beef means to ranchers and the land.”

Even today, the cooperative’s website features short profiles of the ranchers, complete with photos of cowboys on horseback or standing against a split-rail fence.

Forging connections between consumers and ranchers paid off in 2008, following a labor dispute between Whole Foods, one of Country Natural Beef’s biggest customers, and Beef Northwest, which fattens up Country Natural Beef calves in Boardman with cooked potatoes, alfalfa and corn before they’re slaughtered.

Whole Foods, a publicly traded Texas company that carries Country Natural Beef in 92 American stores, had asked Country Natural Beef to stop sending cattle to Beef Northwest because Beef Northwest did not want to let employees join a union. But customers petitioned Whole Foods to keep carrying the beef, according to the case study.

Were it not for the petitions, Wu said, the issue could have caused Whole Foods to drop Country Natural Beef.

The rancher visits fostered the customer loyalty, he said.

“That’s really because a lot of the die-hard customers know the ranchers, because they go there,” he said.

Leadership change In 2009, after Doc Hatfield was diagnosed with pancreatic cancer, he and his wife passed on their marketing leadership to Stacy Davies,

a Frenchglen rancher who worked for the Hatfields in the 1980s and joined the cooperative about 15 years ago.

Davies is more focused on the bottom line than the Hatfields, according to the company case study. The Hatfields, by contrast, emphasized building and maintaining relationships.

Since the leadership change, which happened after a vote of everyone in every rancher family, Davies said, supply and demand issues have become more prominent than ever.

Feeder-cattle futures have hit all-time highs this year.

And some rancher families have left the Country Natural Beef network since 2009, when the count was at 120, Davies said.

The group has lost about 50 families, he said.

Some left to take advantage of higher prices and make more money without meeting Country Natural Beef production and slaughter standards, Davies said.

“The things that we ask our ranchers to do are above and beyond,” Davies said. “Our ranchers do a lot of things that are in addition to what a commodity producer would do, and the extra things that we ask

were hanging out. Now we have space for people to eat.”

In fact, he’s mulling eliminating Wi-Fi access.

But John Kim, one of two brothers behind The Brothers K Coffeehouse in Evanston, Ill., a popular cafe for Simms and other laptop squatters, doesn’t see the point of charging for or blocking Internet access.

“If it gets to that point of business where you’re watching to that minuscule a detail, you’re missing the point of a coffeehouse,” Kim said. “I love it, as long as I have space for it, which is generally the case.”

In fact, he placed plug multi-

them to do … . As the market shot higher than what our co-op was producing, some ranchers chose to take the higher money rather than the stability (of consistent payments).”

To make up for cattle lost with the departing ranching families, and to keep meeting demand, Davies said the company began buying cattle that weren’t originally meant for Country Natural Beef from ranchers inside and outside the network.

Randy Hall, who has been Newport Avenue Market’s meat manager since 2005, said the product’s quality has been consistently high.

The question for him is whether Country Natural Beef will be able to keep a level supply of beef flowing into the store, as big clients such as Whole Foods continue to expand.

ident of Telework Research Network, a research firm that focuses on work conducted outside of the office. Today’s coffee shops hark back to the marketplaces of medieval times, she said, where groups of entrepreneurs can gather and make business connections.

“The coffee shop is the next chamber of commerce,” she said.

Though one would think of the bustle of a neighborhood coffee shop as a distraction, the occasional grinding noise of coffee beans or the political debate at a nearby table actually allows some laptop users to better concentrate on work.

“I like having activity that is not personally relevant to me,” Simms said. “It’s not too quiet, but not too distracting.”

Simms spends four to five hours every weekday and some weekends working from Brothers K, and typically buys just a latte and a bagel.

“It usually takes three hours to finish a drink and any space constraints usually don’t exist then,” she said.

try Natural Beef to continue for at least another 25 years.

Doc Hatfield, too, was confident of the health of the cooperative and the levelling out of the feeder-cattle futures.

“The … commodity market won’t stay high forever,” he said. “Anytime you have a business that has stress, why, it will change, and the basic tenor of the business is solid and working.”

His wife agreed.

“It will just chug forward,” she said. “It won’t go away.”

Doc Hatfield is less sure about his own future. In a phone conversation on Thursday, he said he was fading away.

Wu said his students have all

kinds of ideas to make Country Natural Beef more sustainable.

Some students have said the company should have more store customers. Others thought the company could start selling beef online. Or the company could ask its ranchers to feed grass to its cattle.

But he acknowledged the company’s success and pioneering practices.

“They did really, really well,” he said. “Now what?”

Promoting other businesses Connie Hatfield has gotten involved with an academic task force called Agriculture of the Middle, which seeks to promote midsized agriculture businesses. She’s helped Washington-based flour producer The Shepherd’s Grain develop a cooperative structure similar to Country Natural Beef, she said.

“It’s just this small, little movement that we feel is a real wonderful opportunity for those farmers and ranchers that want to do this,” she said of Agriculture of the Middle.

Davies said he expects Coun-

MEMORIAL

In our effort to provide dental care to children in Deschutes County who can’t afford it, the Kemple Memorial Children’s Dental Clinic wishes to thank the following dentists for their volunteered services in February.

Dentists who provided services in their own office, February 2012 Dr. Scott Anderson Dr. Susan Armstrong Dr. Scot Burgess Dr. David Cauble Dr. Karen Coe Dr. Blake Drew Dr. David Dunscomb Dr. Greg Everson Dr. Matt Falkenstein Dr. Phillippe Freeman Dr. Rex Gibson Dr. David Gobeille Dr. Ben Grieb Dr. Brad Hester Dr. Dennis Holly Dr. Brad Johnson Dr. Jeff Johnson Dr. Mark Keener Dr. Emine Loxley

pliers at each electrical outlet, and installed a counter along two windows where laptop users can post up to enjoy the view. He thinks the time may come when he and his brother have to start encouraging laptop users to move along. For now, he plans to upgrade the Wi-Fi system with a faster Internet connection.

“I view this as a place where anyone and everyone can come,” he said. “Until we’re full a lot, it won’t be an issue.”

For laptop workers, coffee shops offer a form of social interaction more commonly found in a traditional office environment, and rarely afforded in one’s living room or home office.

According to a December 2010 survey of 1,000 people by the nonprofit global human resources association WorldatWork, 34 percent of U.S. respondents said they worked from a cafe or restaurant in the past month, up from 23 percent in 2008.

“We’re social animals.

We like to have other people around,” said Kate Lister, pres-

Dr. Ginny Murtague Dr. Dean Nyquist Dr. Casey O’Neil Dr. Michael Olin Dr. Zack Porter Dr. Catherine Quas Dr. Daniel Radatti Dr. Brian Rosenzweig Dr. Mehdi Salari Dr. Anne Scott Dr. Ken Shirtcliff Dr. Marika Stone Dr. Steven Schwam Dr. Jeff Timm Dr. Andrew Timm Dr. Ryan Timm Dr. Steve Timm Dr. Peter Yonan

At the Kemple Memorial Children’s Dental Clinic, our mission is to improve the health and well-being of children in Deschutes County by facilitating urgent dental services for children (K-12) whose families cannot access basic dental care.

G5

Breweries Co n tinued from G1 Riding the crest of the craft beer craze, cities like Portland, San Francisco and Seattle have cast themselves as havens for brewery lovers, and smaller communities like Fort Collins and Boulder have been central to Colorado’s prominence.

But perhaps no place is this trend more evident than in Denver, where quirky state alcohol laws, a storied brewing culture and a patchwork of well-carved neighborhoods have created ideal conditions for startup breweries.

“It’s going gangbusters right now,” said Ed Sealover, who covers the beer industry for The Denver Business Journal. “There’s such an intensely local focus in beer culture, which is something we’re seeing in Denver. People here want to go to their neighborhood brewery, so long as the beer is good.”

According to the Colorado Brewers Guild, there are currently 18 breweries in Denver, up from eight breweries five years ago. Fifteen more breweries are in the planning stages, the guild said.

“We work a boatload of hours, but we’re working for ourselves,” said Tim Myers, who opened the Strange Brewing Co. in 2010 in an old medical marijuana growing warehouse.

At the time, Myers and his business partner, John Fletcher, had been laid off from information technology jobs at The Rocky Mountain News, which is now defunct. Both home brewers, they drafted a business plan, drained their 401(k) accounts and invested thousands of dollars in equipment and remodeling.

“Our labor is now our reward,” Myers said on a recent night, as he poured a laven-

Beer industry experts point to Colorado’s alcohol laws — some of which are vestiges of the Prohibition era — as crucial to the success of breweries here.

Colorado is one of a small number of states that allow

convenience stores to sell only low-alcohol beer (maximum 3.2 percent by weight). Supermarket chains like Safeway and King Soopers are permitted to sell full-strength beer at a single branch statewide.

This allows independent liquor stores — who happily sell full-strength craft beer from local breweries — to thrive.

Denver brewers can also haul kegs of their latest pale ales,

coffee stouts and other creations to a seemingly endless selection of city bars to serve on tap.

“Any way we can think of to sell beer, we’re allowed to do that in Colorado,” said Patrick Crawford, 29, who quit his job as a Lockheed Martin engineer to open the Denver Beer Co. with his business partner last August.

market and convenience store their product in their tasting industries to change the laws rooms without having to offer have been defeated in the Col- food, which sharply cuts costs orado Legislature. for fledgling brewers, leaving “If you have a quality prod- them time to concentrate on uct and you have another beer making.

Carpool lane can be yours, for a price

By Josie Garthwaite New York Times News Service

The businessman at the front of the early boarding line for your last flight may have gotten there without enduring 100,000 miles sardined into Row 34. Quite possibly, his privileged frequent-flier status was a credit card perk — or even bought outright.

Lately, that concept of putting a price on convenience has been adapted as a way to manage traffic congestion. Going beyond the existing model of rewarding commuters who fill the empty seats in their cars, these programs offer access to lanes once reserved for high-occupancy vehicles.

In short, the HOV lane is making way for the High Occupancy Toll lane.

Since October, a program created to improve traffic flow in restricted-use lanes around Atlanta has made it possible for solitary motorists to buy their way into the express lane; carpools of three or more, eligible alternative-fuel vehicles, motorcycles and an expanded fleet of buses can still scoot in free. Payment is made using an electronic transponder, and under what the Georgia Trans-

portation Department calls value pricing, tolls increase as traffic in the restricted lane builds. The rate can vary from 1 cent to 90 cents a mile.

The goal of the program, logically, is to keep traffic in the restricted lane moving at a reliable pace. Still, it did not have the intended effect of improving commutes along the 15.5mile stretch of Interstate 85 in Gwinnett and DeKalb Counties — at least, not at first.

“Before this was put in, we didn’t have daily gridlock,” said Howard Rodgers, who commutes from his Lawrenceville home, in Gwinnett County.

He has found plenty of support for his view. Within a month of the HOT lane’s opening, Rodgers and a coalition of local groups had gathered thousands of signatures on a petition calling on state and county authorities to stop or suspend the program immediately.

The source of his displeasure: “The time it takes me to get home, and the time away from my family,” Rodgers said. Driving in the free lanes, he said, the 45-mile trip home from work during rush hour

had doubled to a 90-minute or even two-hour grind since the conversion. He credits the petition drive for the state’s decision to delay a second lane-access project.

The shake-up of who gets to use express lanes, and at what price, extends beyond Atlanta.

California air-quality regulators ended single-occupant HOV privileges for many types of hybrids last summer, revising the list of eligible vehicles to exclude older, conventional hybrids like the Toyota Prius in favor of plug-in hybrids and battery-electric cars. Likewise, the rules controlling lane access for drivers of hybrids in Virginia will change in July.

Like Atlanta, which secured a $110 million Transportation Department grant in 2008 for congestion reduction projects, cities including Dallas, Denver, Houston and Los Angeles have completed or are now converting carpool lanes to high-occupancy toll lanes with federal support. In December, Virginia secured a $20 million federal grant for a HOT lane project in the works for Interstate 95. The project, with a projected cost of more than $940 million, will con-

nect with HOT lanes already under construction on the Capital Beltway.

Nicknamed Lexus lanes in the 1990s by critics who pointed out that many drivers would not be able to afford the privilege, HOT lanes are rarely introduced without some opposition. The debate over how to unclog U.S. highways pits free-market fixes — pricing schemes based on travel demands at specific times of day — against government incentives that restrict roadways as a carrot for desirable behaviors like carpooling or driving a less polluting car.

On I-85 in Atlanta, motorists left the new toll lane virtually vacant for the first few days. Gov. Nathan Deal soon stepped in, slashing the maximum charge for traveling the full length of the corridor at peak travel times to $3.05, from $5.50, after less than a week of operation. And he asked federal authorities to allow two-person carpools to drive free in the toll lane. The Federal Highway Administration decided to maintain the three-person carpool requirement for HOT lane funds, however, writing in November that

it was still too early to evaluate the program’s effectiveness.

The old system was far from ideal. According to the Georgia Department of Transportation, morning travel speeds in the two-person carpool lane peaked at 36 mph in 2005-06.

In 2009, the lane picked up to 45 mph at the height of the morning commute. But the state attributed the increase to

A lovable Rogue with personality

By Peter Couture and Lyra Solochek Tampa Bay Times

It’s understandable if the Nissan Rogue gets overlooked in the crowded market for compact crossovers.

We’d say that it’s even overshadowed by its Nissan stablemates, the larger Murano SUV and the funky-styled Juke. Still, the Rogue deserves recognition.

Ap p earance: Lyra thinks the Rogue looks like a junior Murano.

It’s sleek, with simple lines and just enough bling to give it a sporty appearance: chrome grille and trim, optional 18-inch aluminum-alloy wheels and a huge hatchtop spoiler. Some may find the Rogue REVIEW boring when compared with the competition, especially its fellow imports, but Peter likes its almost station wagonlike look and appreciates that the design hasn’t been overworked.

Performance: The Rogue is agile and fun to drive, and it handles more like a car than an SUV (it’s based on the Sentra sedan). The 2.5-liter, 170-horsepower four-cylinder (there is no V-6 option) is matched with Nissan’s Continuously Variable Transmission (CVT), which can be loud on acceleration, and drones.

(There is a sport mode that gives you higher revs, but don’t expect a real performance gain.) The speed-sensitive electronic power steering gives just the right amount of assist. The ride is stable and comfortable, which is what you want in a crossover.

Interior: Like the exterior, the Rogue’s five-passenger interior is simple and attractive, with quality materials (including the plastics) and soft-touch surfaces. Our tes-

The salesman went on and on about how great this was, but I was so absorbed in the whole transaction I didn’t listen as carefully as I should have. I get it that I just select “auto” and it seems to know what I want, but how does it know all this?

The Nissan Rogue, a competitor to the Honda CR-V, Ford Escape, Toyota RAV4 and a host of other small crossover utility wagons, is agile and fun to drive, handling more like a car than an SUV.

2012 Nissan Rogue SV Base price: $21,840 As tested: $29,290 Type: Compact crossover Engine: 2.5-liter 4-cylinder, Xtronic Continuously Variable Transmission with sport mode, FWD; horsepower: 170 at 6,000 rpm; torque: 175 poundfeet at 4,400 rpm Mileage: 23 mpg city, 28 mpg highway The Rogue’s five-passenger interior is simple and attractive, with quality materials and soft-touch surfaces.

ter, the SV trim, came with the premium option package that adds appearance and electronic goodies such as xenon headlights, fog lights, leather seats and a Bose audio system. The center console is minimalist, with a navigation screen that’s on the too-small side at 4.3 inches. But there’s a backup camera, which you’ll

find handy because the rear visibility isn’t great. As part of the option package, there’s also an “Around View” monitor (new for 2012) that gives you a 360-degree bird’s-eye view, a feature we’ve seen in Nissan’s luxury Infiniti brand. There’s also USB,

Some power steering noise expected in older models

By Paul Brand (Minneapolis) Star Tribune

My 2001 Acura MDX Q: has served me very well over the past 125,000 miles.

For the past few months, the power steering makes an annoying groaning noise for the first few minutes after starting it up cold, but then it’s thankfully quiet. The noise lasts longer in cold weather before disappearing. The dealer says it needs a new power steering pump, which was replaced only 18 months ago. The local mechanic says that the noise would continue and not fade away if the problem is the pump. So far the O-ring and hoses have been replaced and the filter/screen has been cleaned out. None of these repairs has made any difference in the noise.

A:

Service information for this model indicates that some power steering pump noise for 2 or 3 minutes after startup is normal. I agree. If the power steering operates normally at startup with no binding, hesitation or loss of assist, I would suggest adding a power steering fluid conditioner or SeaFoam Trans-Tune to the power steering fluid. Unless the 18-month-old pump is still under warranty or there’s an issue with power steering function, I’d be inclined to live with this on an 11-year-old vehicle.

I own a 2009 Hyundai Q: Santa Fe with just 9,000 miles on it. When I start the engine, I cannot shift it out of park unless I shut the engine off and start over — then it

The dealer told me to turn both the steering wheel and the ignition key clockwise at the same time. I am 84 and can still do this, but it’s very hard. There should be a simpler way.

Actually, this shouldn’t A: be an issue at all. Regarding the first problem — not being able to shift out of park — make sure you’re firmly pushing the brake pedal as you attempt to shift. The brake/shift interlock solenoid must release the shift lever from the park position. I found information on a recall for the brake light switch on the 2007 model year Santa Fe. If this switch — activated by the brake pedal — is faulty, it could affect not only the brake/shift interlock but the brake lights, cruise control and electronic stability control system. Have your dealer check the adjustment and function of the brake light switch.

The difficulty turning the key is somewhat normal if the steering wheel is in a turned position and leaning on the locking pin. By unloading the steering wheel to release

pressure on the pin, the ignition switch operates freely.

Try parking with the steering wheel perfectly straight.

When I first start my Q: 2008 Buick Lucerne, it runs rough for 10 to 25 seconds, then smooths out. After running it, turning it off and immediately restarting it, it is OK. After letting it sit for a few minutes and starting it, it has the same problem. The dealer ran some tests but could not find the problem. They felt it was a carbon buildup or a bad batch of gas. They ran some carbon cleaner through it, checked the injectors and also put some cleaner in the gas tank. I ran one tank of gas through it, and it still does the same thing.

Did the dealer run a fuel A: pressure leak-down test?

If not, that’s the next thing to check. If fuel pressure falls off quickly after shutting down the engine, check for a leaking fuel pressure regulator or check valve in the fuel pump assembly or — more likely — fuel leaking into the cylinders from weepy fuel injectors. It’s also possible a faulty coolant temperature sensor could cause this symptom by operating the engine too rich when starting at less than full operating temperature. A scan tool can monitor coolant temperature sensor voltage to determine if it is an accurate signal.

Bluetooth and voice command. The perforated leather seats comfortable and can be heated, with good bolstering.

But Lyra thought the front seats sat too high, even at the lowest setting. Peter liked the position, saying it made the crossover feel larger. Cargo

space isn’t class-leading. Lyra couldn’t fit all her groceries in the cargo area. Folding the rear seats, which have a release that’s easy enough for a child to operate, brings 57.9 cubic feet of space, which is augmented by the folding front passenger seat for long items.

Safety features: Airbags and curtains, vehicle dynamic control, traction control, ABS, energy-absorbing steering column, side-door beams, front and rear crumple zones Options worth considering: Bose audio system, leather seats, navigation, moonroof, 18-inch alloy wheels.

The bottom line: We found the Rogue enjoyable to drive.

Even with only 4 cylinders, it has adequate pep and personality. The negative is the transmission. If cargo room isn’t a priority, this crossover is worth your consideration.

afternoon, and it’s 81 degrees outside. You feel warm, so you press “Auto” and select 70 degrees. This tells the climate control module everything it needs to know. Cabin cooling will be needed, so the air conditioning compressor is engaged. Cool air will be gently discharged from the driver and passenger side panel vents because the air feels best directed towards the face, torso and arms.

Information from the other vehicle systems indicate there is a passenger in the front seat, you are traveling south and sunload at this time of day on the passenger window will be strong, so your passenger receives a little extra cooling.

The next morning, it’s a new situation with the same auto setting at 70 degrees.

Heat is delivered to the floor vents, which feels better than hot air blowing toward your face, and a gradual transition from heating to cooling and discharge location occurs as the day progresses. Pretty amazing.

Q: Kirsten Dunst has directed some short films.

Will she direct anything else soon? —Thomas Salvador, Davison, Mich.

A: While Dunst, 29,

enjoyed her forays behind the camera (for 2007’s Welcome and 2010’s Bastard) and would like to direct again, she’s waiting for the right project to come along. She’ll next star in the comedy Bachelorette, the sci-fi romance Upside Down, and a film adaptation of Jack Kerouac’s On the Road.

P Phoebe Cates, Judge Reinhold

Times at Ridgemont High again. What are Phoebe Cates and Judge Reinhold up to now? —G. L., Staten Island, N.Y.

A: Reinhold, 54, continues to act and has a film in the works called Comics Open alongside Paul Rodriguez. The 48-year-old Cates, who

last appeared onscreen in 2001’s The Anniversary Party, is focusing on Blue Tree, the New York City boutique she opened in 2005, and raising her two children with husband Kevin Kline. She’s also created a line of jewelry with her sister and designed a private dining room for Sfoglia restaurant, near her Manhattan home.

Q: Why hasn’t Eddie Murphy ever hosted Saturday Night Live?

—James Scully, Tampa

A: He has—twice—just

not in a while. In 1982, while still on SNL, he replaced his 48 Hrs. costar Nick Nolte, who canceled at the last minute; he also hosted in ’84 after leaving the show.

P Eddie Murphy

I was a dad, too much time on my hands was a dangerous thing. Now when I pull the plug, it’s all about my [almost 5-year-old] daughter, not about me. Whatever she likes doing is what we’re doing.

Do you have any bad food indulgences? My nastiest secret pleasure is the mac and cheese at Popeyes or the Colonel [KFC]. If I get it, I hide the package.

What would you have been if you weren’t a chef?

Probably a failed, knucklehead criminal. The restaurant business taught me the really important lessons of my life, like showing up on time and respecting the people you work with.

What do you think of Paula Deen’s diabetes news?

I feel bad for her. But I would have made different decisions.

P Pawn Stars’ Chumlee

Q: On Pawn Stars, how do the Harrisons know so much about the items coming into their store?

And does Chumlee dumb himself down for the cameras? —G. Stein, Teterboro, N.J.

A: “I’m a book nerd

and I read about history for fun, so I tend to know a little bit about everything,” says Rick Harrison, one of the owners of the family shop featured on the History channel’s reality series.

“I read up on batteries recently!” As for bumbling employee Chumlee, “he has his moments of ridiculousness,” Harrison admits, “but also sparks of genius.”

Since the Girl Scouts were founded 100 years ago this week, generations of girls have promised to

serve God and their country and to help people at all times. Things have changed mightily since that inaugural troop of 18 girls was formed in Georgia, with founder Juliette Gordon Low proclaiming, “I’ve got something for the girls of Savannah, and all of America, and the world,

and we’re going to start it tonight!” Today, there are even troops in detention centers. Long gone are the proficiency badges for dairy maid, telegraphist, and laundress. Now scouts can earn badges in technology, engineering, moviemaking, financial literacy, and Web design.

“We listened to the girls,

Even the cookies have come a long way. When troops started selling homemade sugar cookies in 1917, they cost 15 cents a dozen. In 1935, commercial bakers took over, first producing sandwich cookies and later Thin Mints. These days, over 200 million boxes are sold annually in nearly a dozen varieties. To celebrate their centennial, the scouts have introduced Savannah Smiles, a limited-distribution lemon cookie. Sweet news for the troops!

Manner Up! Modern etiquette made easy

Q: My next-door neighbor has a habit of dropping by my house unannounced—and staying! I like her, but I find this behavior pretty intrusive. How can I let her know without offending her?

Don’t leave your shiny surfaces to fend for themselves.

ILLUSTRATION: GRAFILU

—Name withheld, St. Paul, Minn.

A: Since you really can’t tell your neighbor not to come over without hurting her feelings, it’s time for a little white lie. Tell her there’s a lot going on at your house that you haven’t been able to get to—helping the kids with homework, going over the household budget with your husband, planning a family trip, and whatever else you can dream up. Say that unfortunately, you have to forgo certain pleasures that distract you from getting it all done. Pleasures like her company. Boy, do you love to see her! But can she just call first? Because right now you feel panicky about all the stuff on your plate. If she continues to drop by, say, “Oh, gosh, I have to do X. Let me call you when I’m finished, okay?” Then you can call or not, but at least you’ve established some guidelines.

The story is nearly as old as the New World. white mozzarella. When the queen told Esposito how much she liked it, he named the combo for her. Today, pizza Margherita is known around the world.

Coming to America A few years later, in 1897, Gennaro Lombardi opened a grocery store and bakery on Spring Street in New York’s Little Italy. To make the most of the oven’s heat after the morning loaves were done, he baked flattened bread dough topped with crushed tomatoes and sold each pie for five cents. They were such a hit that in 1905 Lombardi opened America’s first licensed pizzeria. Like Lombardi’s, many of the old-time pizzerias that still thrive in the Northeast started the same way, as

The Pie’s Humble Origins Although humans’ appetite for yummy, hot flatbread dates back at least 12,000 years, pizza didn’t start taking shape until Spanish explorers brought tomatoes from the Americas to Europe. At first, chefs worried that the exotic red fruits were poisonous—and prudes thought them sinful because their flesh felt human. But cooks in southern Italy weren’t so timid.

They figured out that squashing a few ripe ones on flatbread before baking made something wonderful.

Pizza got a big boost in 1889 when Neapolitan baker Raffaele Esposito presented Queen Margherita of Italy with a pie in the colors of the Italian flag: red tomatoes with green basil and

AMERICA’S BEST SLICES Like barbecue, pizza has multiple personalities. Some of the country’s best pies (like the legendary white clam pizza at Frank Pepe Pizzeria Napoletana in New Haven, Conn.) barely resemble the basic tomatoand-cheese combo. At the Portland Pie Company in Portland, Maine, you can indulge in lobster pizza; at Big Lou’s in San Antonio, you can try barbecued brisket as a topping. Those who grew up with thin-crust slices on the Atlantic City Boardwalk might not even recognize Chicago’s deep-dish variety!

Of the countless pizza styles, a few stand out as American classics. Here are PARADE’s top five (as well as their foremost practitioners); see page 10 for an honor roll of great pizza places across the country.

Old Forge Old

Ea Eateries in and around this suburb a of Scranton, Pa., o specialize in pies that sport a thick crust topped with red sauce and mild cheese.

Two to try: Salerno’s Cafe in Old Forge, Pa.; Victory Pig in Wyoming, Pa.

Northeast Southern New England, New York, and New Jersey host some of the country’s most beloved pizzerias, known for pies with a Neapolitan flavor: thin crust with a puffy collar and oven-charred zest.

Three to try: The original Patsy’s in New York City’s East Harlem; Carminuccio’s in Newtown, Conn.; DeLorenzo’s in Trenton, N.J.

St. Louis Thin crust and creamy provell cheese h ((a blend bl d off cheddar, h dd S Swiss, i and provolone) define this city’s signature pizza; it’s portioned out in small, square cuts that fit in one hand—so you can hold a schooner of beer in the other.

Franchises and Freezers Pizza entered the mainstream in the late ’40s. Americans were taking an interest in exotic food of all kinds, and soldiers who’d been to Italy came back with a taste for what they had seen and sampled.

By 1953, pizza had become familiar enough that Dean Martin scored a big hit with his song “That’s Amore,” featuring the line “When the moon hits your eye like a big pizza pie, that’s amore.”

Going out for pizza was akin to meeting up for burgers, a happy eating ritual savored by baby boomers as they grew up.

In those days, nearly all pizza was served in no-frills, paper-napkin restaurants. People saw pizza as an inexpensive meal for those times when you couldn’t be bothered to cook or dress up for dinner. You could even bring the pie home for a

Prior to the war, most Americans hadn’t even heard of pizza. It was foreign food, a novelty dish found only in Italian neighborhoods. Even at Roseland, which catered to an Italian-American clientele, pizza was a bit mysterious at first.

rec-room feast in front of the TV. Frozen pizza first appeared in grocery stores in the 1950s, but it hit its stride in 1962, when Rose Totino branched out from her successful Minneapolis pizzeria to make fully dressed frozen pies that could be heated up and served in a hurry. Suddenly, pizza became the most convenient one-dish meal imaginable. The growth of home delivery, which put Domino’s on the map, made it even more so.

Truffle Oil, Anyone?

Starting in the 1970s, American pizza was reborn, as the once humble ethnic fare morphed into a culinary sensation. The rise in status began in Berkeley, Calif., at Chez Panisse, where chef Alice Waters elevated pizza’s reputation by deep-sixing plain-Jane ingredients like preshredded cheese and canned tomato sauce in favor of artisanal goat cheese and local produce. In Beverly Hills, at his Spago restaurant, Wolfgang Puck topped pizzas with caviar and smoked salmon.

Of course, neighborhood pizzerias and national chains continued to serve the more familiar mozzarella-laden pies.

Chow for Now In recent years, another pizza renaissance has unfolded around the country—a return to oldworld roots. Traditional woodfired, brick-floor ovens are popping up everywhere, and many pizzerias now import their ovens, along with their flour and toppings, from Italy. The dedicated pizzaiolo (pizza maker) creates pies to the exacting standards of the Associazione Verace Pizza Napoletana (VPN), an organization that certifies pizza is being made the true Neapolitan way.

VPN-certified pizzerias use only

fresh, unprocessed ingredients and hand-kneaded dough to produce thin-crust pies no wider than 13.8 inches. Other chefs go in the opposite direction, defying tradition to include crazy new toppings, even making pizzas for breakfast (sausage and eggs) or dessert (peanut butter cream on a chocolate chip cookie crust).

Of the quick-serve suppers people eat out, only burgers are more popular; more than 65,000 U.S. restaurants are classified as pizzerias, whether down-toearth corner joints or cuttingedge culinary shrines at which epicurean pilgrims wait in line for an hour or more. Pizza today can be anything you want it to be, from a belt buster stacked with cheese and meat to a low-fat version loaded with vegetables.

There are so many options, and each style has its defenders and detractors; in fact, when it comes to pizza, there’s only one thing we all have in common: We love it.

That’s amore, indeed.

“Eat Yourself Skinny!”

35-year old mother of 2 reveals how she lost 105 lbs & finally won the battle over her weight after a lifetime of yo-yo dieting

BEFORE For the first time in my life, I can finally fit into a single-digit size – better yet, a size 8! That’s a huge victory for me because even as a teen, I had to wear a size 10 or 12.

I was always told ‘You’d be so pretty if only you lost the weight.’ Because of my size, I never really enjoyed shopping, dating, taking pictures with my friends or any of the typical teenage girl stuff. After getting married and giving birth to my two children, the weight continued to pile on until I reached my all-time high of 266 pounds. Like many women, I’ve tried everything under the sun to lose weight – diet pills, pre-packaged meals, supplements, calorie counting, liquid diets… and the list goes on. Every once in a while, I’d actually lose a couple pounds, but then I’d AFTER end up gaining the weight right back – and some extra pounds on top of it! Tired of yo-yo dieting and frustrated with my results, I pretty much resigned myself to being a size 24. And with two young daughters, a husband and a full-time job as an accountant, it wasn’t like I had the time to make any drastic changes to my lifestyle.

could lose weight simply by sprinkling it on all your meals and snacks. It definitely sounded too good to be true, but I just couldn’t get it out of my mind. I could continue to eat what I normally eat and still lose weight without counting a single point or calorie or adding an exercise program to my already hectic schedule. But before I fell for another marketing gimmick, I decided to do a little research for myself.

The best part about this whole journey has been that I haven’t had to make any changes to my lifestyle. I still go out to my favorite restaurants with my husband. And I can eat whatever my family is having – whether it’s pancakes on the weekends or chicken nuggets from the drive-through on those hectic weeknights. I simply sprinkle my SENSA®, and I’m good to go! It really doesn’t get any easier.

I discovered that SENSA® is actually the result of over 25 years of research and testing by a practicing neurologist named Dr. Alan Hirsch.

His extensive studies focus on the link between your sense of smell and taste and the affect they can have on weight-loss. When sprinkled on food, SENSA® works with your senses to trigger your body’s natural hunger control switch, so you feel full faster, eat less… and ultimately, lose weight. What sounded like magic was actually proven effective in one of the largest clinical studies ever conducted on a non-prescription weight-loss system. In a 6 month clinical study, 1,436 men and women lost an average of 30.5 pounds without changing their diet or exercise routines; all they did was sprinkle SENSA® on everything they ate.

I’m proud to say that I’ve now lost 105 pounds with SENSA®.* That’s almost a whole person!

Thanks to SENSA®, I can finally play with my kids, take the stairs, go shopping, eat out and feel healthy and fit for the first time in my life.

SENSA® worked for me, and it can work for you, too. Claim your 30-day FREE trial just like I did where the only thing you have to lose… is YOUR unwanted pounds!

I decided the only way to know if SENSA® would really work for me was to try it for myself.

stop dieting and try SENSA® – the first clinically

LOOK SEXY, FEEL YOUNGER

THE SENSA® BREAKTHROUGH

I ordered SENSA® and followed the simple directions – I began sprinkling it on all my meals and snacks, and the effect was almost immediate. On my third day using SENSA®, I had spaghetti with meat sauce for dinner – my all-time favorite meal – and I felt perfectly full from eating just half of my plate of pasta.

Normally, I would have gone back for seconds!

I lost 2 pounds in the first week, and 7 ½ pounds that very first month. As the weeks and months went on, the pounds continued to fall off. What was once a ‘muffin top’ began to transform into an hourglass figure. I began to enjoy shopping for new clothes and wearing styles that showed off my new body. And I no longer felt the urge to hide whenever a photo was being taken!

After trying and failing at so many diet programs, I was hesitant to start again and try something different. I remembered seeing an infomercial for a new product called SENSA® that claimed you

I was so motivated by my results that I even started jogging and eventually ran two 10K races.

This from the girl who used to avoid running the mile in high school P.E.!

But my wake-up call finally came when I flew out to California for a family vacation and could barely fit into the airplane seat. Reality hit me like a ton of bricks. I was larger than I had ever been and I knew then and there that I had to do something about my body – if not for myself, then at least for my family.

Legal Notice

If You Bought a TV, Monitor, or Notebook Computer That Contained a Flat Panel Screen Lawsuits and Settlements Could Affect You. There are lawsuits involving the price of thin film transistor liquid crystal display (“TFT-LCD”) Flat Panels purchased indirectly from the Defendants. “Indirectly” means that you purchased the TFT-LCD Flat Panel from someone other than the manufacturer of the Flat Panel.

Settlements have been reached with seven Defendants (Chimei Innolux Corp.; Chunghwa Picture Tubes Ltd.; Epson Imaging Devices Corp.; HannStar Display Corp.; Hitachi Displays, Ltd.; Samsung Electronics Co., Ltd.; and Sharp Corp.). Three Defendants (AU Optronics Corp.; LG Display Co. Ltd.; Toshiba Corp.; and their U.S. affiliates) have not agreed to settle so the lawsuits continue against them.

What are the lawsuits about?

The lawsuits claim that the Defendants conspired to fix, raise, maintain or stabilize prices of TFT-LCD Flat Panels resulting in overcharges to consumers who bought products containing the panels. The litigation is asking for money and an order to stop the Defendants’ alleged behavior that is the subject of these lawsuits. The Defendants deny Plaintiffs’ allegations or that indirect purchasers suffered any overcharge. The Court has not decided who is right.

Who is included in the lawsuits?

The case is proceeding to recover money for consumers in 24 states and the District of Columbia and governmental entities in eight states, and for nationwide injunctive relief to stop the Defendants’ alleged behavior.

Statewide Damages Classes: Generally, include any person or business that indirectly purchased TFT-LCD panels incorporated in TVs, monitors and/or notebook computers from one or more of the Defendants or Quanta Display Inc., from 1999 to 2006, for their own use and not for resale, while residing in the 24 states or DC. The purchase must have been made in the same state where the person or business resided. The specific class definitions, including exceptions to Class membership, are available at www.LCDclass.com.

The 24 states are: AZ, AR, CA, FL, HI, IA, KS, ME, MA, MI, MN, MS, MO, NV, NM, NY, NC, ND, RI, SD, TN, VT, WV and WI. Nationwide Class: Includes any person or business that indirectly purchased in the U.S., TFT-LCD panels incorporated in TVs, monitors and/or notebook computers, from one or more of the Defendants or Quanta Display Inc., between 1999 and the present, for their own use and not for resale, and reside in the U.S. as of the date of this notice.

Attorneys General Actions: The Attorneys General of AR, CA, FL, MI, MO, NY, WV and WI are participating in these Settlements to resolve related claims arising from the same allegations as asserted in the class actions: (1) on behalf of state residents under the doctrine of parens patriae, which allows a state to bring a lawsuit on behalf of its citizens, and/or for governmental entities; and (2) for civil penalties.

For More Information:

What do the Settlements provide?

There are seven Settlements, totaling $538,555,647, being presented to the Court for approval. Any interest earned will be added to the Settlement Fund. The Settlement Fund will be used to pay individual and business consumers in the 24 states and DC, and governmental entity consumers in the eight states. Some Settling Defendants also are paying civil penalties to the Attorneys General. More details are in Settlement Agreements and other documents available at www.LCDclass.com. The cost to administer the Settlements, as well as attorneys’ fees, costs and expenses, and payments to the Class Representatives, will come out of the Settlement Fund. In the future, Plaintiffs’ counsel will request attorneys’ fees not to exceed one-third of the Settlement Fund, plus reimbursement of costs and expenses. The attorneys also may ask the Court to permit the use of money from the Settlement Fund to help finance the ongoing litigation.

The Settling Defendants have agreed not to engage in conduct that is at issue in these lawsuits and will establish (or maintain) a program to educate their employees about complying with the law, and will cooperate with the Plaintiffs in their ongoing litigation against the Non-Settling Defendants.

How can I get a payment?

No money will be distributed yet. Plaintiffs’ counsel will pursue the lawsuits against the Non-Settling Defendants. All funds received in this case will be distributed together at the conclusion of the lawsuits or as ordered by the Court. You will need to file a valid claim to receive a payment. Notice about the claims process will be made available at a later date. If you want to receive notice about the claims process or future settlements you should register at www.LCDclass.com.

What are my rights?

If you do nothing, your rights will be affected. If you do not want to be legally bound by the lawsuits, you must exclude yourself from the Classes or the Attorneys General Actions. The deadline to exclude yourself is April 13, 2012. If you do not exclude yourself you will not be able to sue the Defendants for any claim relating to the lawsuits. If you reside outside of the 24 states or DC you will retain any right you have to sue the Defendants for monetary relief.

The Court will hold a hearing on May 18, 2012 to consider whether to approve the Settlements. If you stay in the Classes, you may object to the Settlements by April 13, 2012. You or your own lawyer may appear and speak at the hearing at your own expense. Any request for exclusion or objection must be mailed to: LCD Class, P.O. Box 8025, Faribault, MN 55021-9425.

Ask Marilyn

By Marilyn vos Savant

My mother and I went shopping at a clothing store where a sale was in progress: Buy three items and get a fourth one (the least expensive) free. To take advantage of the sale, we decided to combine our purchases. Mine cost $39.75 and $34.75. My mother’s cost $36.25 and $27.50. So the total was $110.75, the cost of the three most expensive items. How much does each of us owe?

—Jill Vandermeulen, Birmingham, Ala.

If there hadn’t been a sale, the purchase would have totaled $138.25. You would have owed $74.50, or about 54 percent of the value. Due to the sale, the total was $110.75, but your share of the value remains the same. That figure (54 percent of $110.75) is about $59.81. Your mother’s share (46 percent) is about $50.94.

StayHealthy Thyroid Cancer: Why Is It on the Rise?

New diagnoses have shot up over the past decade. Here’s what you need to know.

PHOTO: SONY PICTURES TELEVISION

While new cases of some cancers— including breast, lung, and prostate— are leveling off, cancer of the thyroid (an endocrine gland in the neck) is spiking; diagnoses rose a whopping 173 percent between 2002 and 2012, making thyroid cancer one of the fastest-growing types in the U.S. “Better screening and detection may explain part of the increase,” says Robert Smallridge, M.D., chairman of the division of endocrinology at the Mayo Clinic in Jacksonville, Fla. “Still, research suggests other factors must be at play.”

One of the few known causes of thyroid cancer is radiation, and some experts believe

excess exposure may be behind the increase. Smallridge is less certain. “The most common radiation sources, such as dental X-rays and

recommends always asking your doctor whether an X-ray or a CT scan is truly necessary. He also advises wearing a thyroid collar (a small lead bib that deflects radiation) before dental X-rays. (Some evidence suggests these collars compromise mammography results, so they’re typically not recommended for breast screenings; talk to your radiologist if

Food Fight!

Should sugar be regulated? Morning Joe’s Mika Brzezinski and Joe Scarborough spar over what role the government should play in our diet.

MIKA: We have a huge problem

in our country when it comes to processed foods, sugar, and high-fructose corn syrup. Unless they’re regulated, we’re going to continue on a downward spiral toward obesity and bad health. I think the government should step in. One way to do that is to put a tax on soda.

JOE: Mika’s vision of the nanny state is so overreaching. She is obsessed with telling people what to eat, what to drink, how to live their lives. And to a small-government conservative

like myself, that’s offensive.

The fact is, most people don’t want the federal government involved in their bedrooms or in their refrigerators.

MIKA: The amount of sugar our kids ingest is absolutely insane.

If America’s parents were educated on what it does to their children’s teeth and bodies, they would be horrified.

JOE: I’m sure that Mika was raised in the woods and ate tree bark, but I grew up in a middleclass family, and most of my breakfasts were Cap’n Crunch,

Froot Loops, or Lucky Charms.

I was healthy and slender because I led an active life, just like most of us a generation ago.

My grandmother poured sugar into Tune in to just about everyMorning Joe on MSNBC, thing, and she weekdays lived to be 93. from 6 a.m. to 9 a.m.

Instead of focusing on telling people what to eat, t, we need to focus on encouraging kids to get up off the couch and go

outside to play. I think most Americans have changed a lot of their bad habits over the past decade. That’s why I don’t think the federal government needs to aggressively step in and dictate what people eat.

MIKA: Joe’s diet is awful.

JOE: You should see how healthy I am! Look, Mika preaches a great sermon, but when she goes home at night, she probably has Cap’n Crunch’s Crunch Berries and Cocoa Krispies. Am I not telling the truth?

MIKA: No, you’re not.

JOE: Mika’s diet is healthy and well rounded—if you’re a rabbit.

Sometimes when we’re having lunch, I look at the leaves and twigs that she’s eating and I don’t know how she does it.

MIKA: My guilty pleasure is the popovers at BLT Steak. I eat a lot of those.

JOE: Mine is a super bacon cheddar bagel with cream cheese from Bagelheads in Pensacola, Florida.

MIKA: I will say that Joe has really cut back over the past year on the calories and sugar he eats.

JOE: Mika and I have had an influence on each other’s diet.

I have severely cut back on calories. And she has relaxed a bit. Sometimes she will actually put four or fivve leaves on her plate plate. Really, though, she iis eating a little bit more, which I think is important.

Everything in moderation.

Pancakes to Flip Over Author Janet Evanovich fondly recalls her grandmother’s Danish specialty

My grandparents emigrated from Denmark to this country, and my grandmother brought her recipe for aebleskivers [round, AEEEEEEEB puffy pancakes] with her. It is close to 100 years old.

When I was a little girl, we would all get together every Sunday at my grandparents’ house in Metuchen, N.J., and my grandmother would make us aebleskivers. The big dining room table would be set for us with white linen.

Mountains of aebleskivers dusted with powdered sugar would come out of the kitchen on platters.

We’d put out extra sugar in bowls for dipping.

After you’ve eaten half of one, you mash the rest of it in the sugar. Why? We’re Danish, for crying out loud! It’s all about butter and sugar.
