A heavily oiled bird is rescued from the Gulf last summer.

GULFPORT, Miss. — The BP oil spill is 1 year old this week, the whole disaster having killed or injured 28 rig workers, thousands of birds and hundreds of marine animals, and spewed 200 million gallons of crude into the Gulf of Mexico over three months.

The disaster has helped to shine an intense spotlight on a Gulf already suffering from human encroachment, with a loss of coastal wetlands in recent decades in Louisiana the size of Rhode Island.

But from there, our understanding of just how bad the BP spill was, and is, gets ever murkier.

He, Patient No.1, thanked God for stem cell therapy Editor’s note: The first person to be treated using human embryonic stem cells has given the media his first detailed account since disclosing his carefully guarded identity. Timothy Atchison, of Chatom, Ala., says the therapy, often condemned on religious grounds, is part of God’s will.

By Rob Stein The Washington Post

CHATOM, Ala. — When Timothy Atchison regained consciousness, he was drenched in blood and pinned in his car on the side of a dark rural road.

“I was just pouring blood,” said the 21-year-old, who recoiled in pain when he tried to drag himself through a window of the vehicle. “I didn’t know if I was going to bleed to death or not.”

Then, Atchison realized his legs felt strangely huge — and completely numb. He was paralyzed from the chest down.

“I was just praying — asking

for forgiveness and thanking God for keeping me alive,” said Atchison, who was trapped at least an hour before rescuers freed him. “I said, ‘From here on out, I’m going to live for you and nothing else.’ I never got down after that. I figure that’s what must have kept me up — God keeping me up.”

That sense of destiny propelled Atchison when he faced another shock just seven days later: Doctors asked him to volunteer to be the first person to have an experimental drug made from human embryonic stem cells injected into his body.

tors’ union would put the county at risk of an unfair labor practice claim, Flaherty fired them anyway.

Together, the anecdotes suggest a singleminded man with a forceful personality.

That personality received considerable attention 10 years ago when two consultants conducted an in-depth study of Dugan’s office. According to notes that accompanied the study, the consultants described Flaherty as having an “in your face” political style — it’s “his way or no way.”

Since taking office as the county’s top law enforcement official, Flaherty’s aggressive leadership style has been on full display. He has replaced nearly a third of his deputies, has been hit by a multimillion-dollar lawsuit, and is now being investigated by the Oregon State Bar following a complaint questioning his ethics.

While his critics call Flaherty need-

lessly combative, over the top and obsessive, his supporters say his determination, focus and legal skills are just what Deschutes County needs.

Sharon Sheridan, a Flaherty neighbor, believes he has made waves simply by keeping his campaign promise to make changes in the office. “He’s overturning the apple cart,” she said. “I think that he’s getting in trouble because he’s actually wanting (prosecutors) to do their job.”

But others, like Mike Maier, a former Deschutes County administrator, were taken aback by Flaherty’s decision to launch a wide-ranging criminal investigation into the release of personal information about Flaherty’s new hires by Deschutes County Counsel Mark Pilliod. “I’ve never seen anything that bizarre in working with public agencies.”

In 2001, then-District Attorney Mike Dugan denied a request by Flaherty, his top deputy at the time, to handle a highprofile case. Flaherty suddenly quit and left his co-workers to take over his caseload, including a complex murder case just five weeks before it went to trial.

In 2007, county road officials gave the OK for Flaherty’s neighbor to line a road with boulders and no-parking signs to discourage loitering near a popular swimming hole. But when the officials decided to move the boulders a few feet back from the road to prevent motorists from hitting them, Flaherty fired off a three-page letter dismissing their concerns and expressing “dismay … confusion and frustration.”

ispatch records show that long before Patrick Flaherty became Deschutes County’s district attorney, his crime-fighting zeal found an outlet in the county’s 911 service district.

Since the beginning of 2006, he has made 293 calls for service to the district’s dispatch center. Of those, the vast majority concerned issues in his neighborhood, including 199 to report parking violations. Though the records do not specify, he likely called the nonemergency line. On a routine call about illegal parking, a 911 dispatcher would have referred him to a nonemergency line, says Rick Silbaugh, acting manager of the 911 center.

Flaherty’s calls amount to one per week, on average.

Most of them have to do with a swimming hole in his neighborhood.

Cuba put on a rousing military and civilian spectacle to mark the 50th anniversary of the Bay of Pigs attack of 1961, when Fidel Castro’s 2-year-old government routed an invasion force of some 1,200 exiles supported by the CIA. Thousands of soldiers high-stepped through sprawling Revolution Plaza as a military band played martial music beneath the gaze of an iconic image of Che Guevara, in the background.

only political organization recognized on the island, and most politicians are members. Cubans vote for municipal and national assemblies, which in turn elect senior leaders including the president.

Cubans are watching to see whether other changes emerge from the Congress — such as the end of a near-total ban on buying and selling private property, or details on promises to extend bank credits.

The reforms — or “updates,” as Castro apparently prefers — are the most ambitious in decades.

All told, the package represents the most significant move by Cuba toward a mixed economy since the revolution. Until now, the state employed about 85 percent of the workforce, and a state worker earned just $20 a month, on average, but got by with many government subsidies that Castro has suggested the country can no longer afford.

“An entirely new design of how the government should work is being created,” Andy Gomez, senior fellow at the University of Miami’s Institute of Cuba and Cuban-American Studies, said in a telephone interview. But, he added, “from the moment the reforms are approved, Raul has six months to a year to improve the basic needs of the Cuban people.

More food, basic shelter ... more jobs. ... And the question remains, will economic reforms, without political change, be enough for Cuban society to accept?”

The Federal Aviation Administration has suspended another air traffic controller allegedly caught sleeping on the job and is taking immediate steps to end the scheduling system responsible for putting sleepy controllers behind the microphone.

The FAA said a Miami-based controller who directs planes after they reach cruising altitude fell asleep early Saturday.

FAA Administrator Randy Babbitt said that as a result of the seventh instance this year when he has suspended a controller for allegedly sleeping on the job, he would end a scheduling system that often puts controllers back on the job after just eight hours off.

“We are taking important steps today that will make a real difference in fighting air traffic controller fatigue. But we know we will need to do more. This is just the beginning,” Babbitt said.

The sleeping controllers have been working the overnight shift, and until their dozing was discovered, at least 28 control facilities had just one controller

working that shift. Babbitt and Transportation Secretary Ray LaHood ordered a nationwide review of controller staffing, and an end to single-person staffing, last week.

“This is absolutely unacceptable,” LaHood said.

Although scheduling is fluid and flexible to meet the system’s demands, one of the most popular schedules is known as the 2-2-1.

Under it, a controller begins the workweek with two evening shifts, does a quick turnaround to a pair of day shifts and then does another quick turn before an overnight shift.

The FAA said that a preliminary review of air traffic tapes indicated the controller did not miss any calls from aircraft, and there was no operational impact.

Babbitt and LaHood were briefed on the incident early Saturday by David Grizzle, acting chief operating officer of the FAA’s Air Traffic Organization.

Grizzle assumed that acting role on Friday after his predecessor, Hank Krakowski, was forced to resign after a serious of recent embarrassments.

The Associated Press KAYAWA, Nigeria — Nigerians voted for president in an election Saturday many hoped would show Africa’s most populous nation could hold a credible poll without the violence and rigging that marred previous ones, though children cast ballots and party officials helped others press their inked fingers to paper.

Despite widespread security concerns after bombs hit a votecounting center and a polling station during last weekend’s legislative elections, voting in the oilrich country was largely peaceful Saturday, though a police officer was fatally shot in the volatile northeast.

“We seem to be witnessing a giant of Africa reforming itself and putting its house in order,” said former Botswana President Festus Mogae, who led the Commonwealth Observer Group.

U.S., allies seek refuge for Gadhafi, if he leaves

Please eat the food, Japan tells the wary

By Chico Harlan The Washington Post

By David E. Sanger and Eric Schmitt New York Times News Service

WASHINGTON — The Obama administration has begun seeking a country, likely in Africa, that might be willing to provide shelter to Moammar Gadhafi if he were forced out of Libya, even as a new wave of intelligence reports suggests that no rebel leader has emerged as a credible successor to the Libyan dictator.

The search has been conducted quietly by the United States and its allies, even though Gadhafi has shown defiance in recent days, parading through Tripoli’s streets and declaring that he has no intention of yielding to demands that he leave his country.

The effort is complicated by the likelihood that he would be indicted by the International Criminal Court in the Hague for the bombing of Pan Am 103 in 1988 and atrocities inside Moammar Libya. One possibility, accordGadhafi, ing to three administration ofshown on ficials, is to find a country that state TV in is not a signatory to the treaty March. A that requires countries to turn credible sucover anyone under indictment cessor for the for trial by the court, perhaps Libyan leader giving Gadhafi an incentive has not yet to abandon his stronghold in been found.

Tripoli.

The move by the United States to find a haven for Gadhafi may help explain how the White House is attempting to enforce President Barack Obama’s declaration that the Libyan leader must leave the country but without violating Obama’s refusal to put troops on the ground.

The U.N. Security Council has authorized military strikes to protect the Libyan population, but not to oust the country’s leadership. But Obama and the leaders of Britain and France, among others, have declared that to be their goals.

About half of the countries in Africa have not signed or ratified the Rome Statute, which requires nations to abide by commands from the international court. (The United States has also not ratified the statute, because of concerns about the potential indictment of its soldiers or intelligence agents.) Italy’s foreign minister, Franco Frattini, suggested late last month that several African countries could offer Gadhafi a haven, but he did not identify them.

Even though Gadhafi has had close business dealings with the leaders of countries like Chad, Mali and Zimbabwe, and there have been proGadhafi rallies elsewhere recently across the continent, it was unclear which, if any, nations were emerging as likely candidates to take in Gadhafi.

The African Union has been quietly sounding out potential hosts, but those negotiations have been closely guarded.

Rebels: We’re being armed BENGHAZI, Libya — Libyan rebels say they have begun receiving arms shipments from abroad, although there has been no independent confirmation of that.

The rebel military leader, Gen. Abdel Fattah Younes, on Saturday said in an interview with Al Arabiya, a satellite news channel, that his forces had received weapons supplies from unidentified nations that support their uprising.

Asked whether any arms shipments had arrived yet, a spokesman for the rebel military, Col. Ahmed Bani, smiled broadly, but then insisted, “I didn’t quite confirm it.”

On Thursday, however, the emir of Qatar, Sheik Hamad bin Khalifa al-Thani, told CNN that his country would provide weapons to the rebels and that deliveries of antitank weapons might already have reached them. Qatar, along with Italy and France, has already recognized the rebels as the legitimate government of Libya.

NATO runs short on weapons Less than a month into the Libyan conflict, NATO is running short of precision bombs, highlighting the limitations of Britain, France and other European countries in sustaining even a relatively small military action over an extended period of time, according to senior NATO and U.S. officials.

The shortage of European munitions, along with the limited number of aircraft available, has raised doubts among some officials about whether the U.S. can continue to avoid returning to the air campaign if Libyan leader Moammar Gadhafi hangs on to power for several more months.

Gang of 6’s plan for debt in peril before it exists

Chambliss had joined informally with Warner to host private tutorials for Senate colleagues of each party with experts like Ben Bernanke, the Federal Reserve chairman. Chambliss and Warner enlisted four senators from the commission majority to negotiate writing the recommendations into legislation. Besides Durbin, the others were Sen. Kent Conrad, the North Dakota Democrat who leads the Budget Committee, and Sens. Tom Coburn of Oklahoma and Michael Crapo of Idaho, both Republicans.

“As I said to a Republican recently,” Durbin said in an interview, “it’s like we’re on a long flight here and we’ve come so far there’s no turning back — we’ve got to land the plane.”

WASHINGTON — Days after President Barack Obama called for forming a bipartisan group in Congress to begin negotiating a $4 trillion debt-reduction package, the parties have not even agreed to its membership. Yet six senators — three Democrats, three Republicans — say they are nearing consensus on just such a plan.

Whether the so-called Gang of Six can actually deliver something when Congress returns from a recess in May could determine whether Democrats and Republicans can come together to resolve the nation’s fiscal problems before the 2012 elections.

The Associated Press Bowing to pressure from protests, Syria’s president promised Saturday to end nearly 50 years of emergency rule this week but coupled his concession with a stern warning — that further unrest will be considered sabotage.

The protest movement has

been steadily growing over the past four weeks, posing a serious challenge to the 40-year ruling dynasty of President Bashar Assad and his father before him. Assad acknowledged Saturday that Syrians have legitimate grievances.

Thousands still took to the streets before and after Assad’s speech.

Taliban sleeper agent kills 10 at Afghan base

By Solomon Moore The Associated Press

KABUL, Afghanistan — Like hundreds of thousands of Afghan men, he volunteered in the national army, ran drills in the mud, carried an automatic rifle and worked alongside coalition mentors struggling against a hard-core insurgency.

But he was not one of them.

On Saturday, he walked into a meeting of NATO trainers and Afghan troops at Forward Operating Base Gamberi in the eastern province of Laghman and detonated a vest of explosives hidden underneath his uniform.

Five NATO troopers, four Afghan soldiers and an interpreter were killed in the deadliest sleeper agent assault.

Four Afghan soldiers and three interpreters were wounded in Saturday’s attack.

The Taliban claimed respon-

sibility for the bombing and said the soldier was a sleeper agent who joined the army a month ago, a contention confirmed by an Afghan army official.

Attacks by insurgents donning uniforms are a relatively rare but recurrent problem as NATO and Afghan forces work more closely together. Afghanistan’s security forces are also ramping up recruitment of Afghan soldiers and policemen so they can take the lead in securing their nation by the end of 2014, adding more than 70,000 police and soldiers last year in an effort to reach 305,000 troopers by the end of this year.

Afghan security forces are supposed to be vetted by past employers or even village elders, but in a country where unemployment is about 35 percent, the literacy rate is about 28 percent and computerized record-keeping is a novelty, background checks are often rudimentary.

Clinton: S. Korea trade pact this year The Associated Press SEOUL — Secretary of State Hillary Clinton said today the Obama administration is determined to pass a free trade pact with South Korea this year and complete the largest such agreement for the U.S. since her husband was president.

Clinton told American and Korean business leaders the U.S. and its close ally already have one of the strongest trading relationships in the world, with nearly $88 billion in two-way commerce last year.

The $38.8 billion in U.S. exports supported some 230,000 American jobs, she said.

“But the truth is, we know we can do more if we can lower the barriers to trade between our countries,” Clinton said, claiming that tariff cuts in the agreement would lead to $11 billion in increased sales of American goods and a sharp jump in Korean economic growth.

She was on a brief stopover in South Korea to discuss trade and how to get North Korea

Syria vows to lift emergency law

TOKYO — Now offered at lunch at a Japanese government restaurant: a rich curry and rice, topped with Fukushima vegetables fresh from the nuclear-emergency zone.

When Sakuna restaurant, located inside a government ministry, opened for business Friday, politicians rushed in, filling a table of 12. Within minutes, waitresses presented the meals. Each curry dish was topped with two buttonsize cuts of carrot and broccoli, a few mushroom slivers and two silver-dollar slices of purple potato.

Cameras clicked, and politicians sampled their lunches and nodded their approval.

Prime Minister Naoto Kan has also been doing his part, urging people to eat food from the disaster-hit areas as a show of support.

So has Yukio Edano, the chief cabinet secretary, who went to a farmers market and ate a Fukushima strawberry. “Only safe pro-

duce is being distributed,” Edano said. “Please eat it.”

To be sure, no one is pretending that all Fukushima food is absolutely safe; many products from the nuclear zone are indeed contaminated. But the message from the government is that the Japanese should have faith in a monitoring system intended to keep cesium- and iodine-tainted products off the shelves.

Levels of radioactivity have risen sharply in seawater near a tsunami-crippled nuclear plant in northern Japan, signaling the possibility of new leaks at the facility, the government said Saturday. The announcement came after a magnitude-5.9 earthquake jolted Japan on Saturday morning, hours after the country’s nuclear safety agency ordered plant operators to beef up their quake preparedness systems to prevent a recurrence of the nuclear crisis.

FIRES IN TEXAS; STORMS ACROSS THE SOUTH

Survivors return to charred, leveled homes

Oil spill Continued from A1 Yet beaches along the northern Gulf attract billions in tourism dollars, the seafood industry supports thousands of families and the inshore waters act as a nursery for many species, some that only breed in the Gulf.

In the year since the disaster, BP has continued to manage the event, promising restoration and holding out that both the environment and peoples’ livelihoods will be made whole eventually.

Meanwhile, an army of federal and state agencies is on a fact-finding mission to tally the damage to natural resources and encourage BP to make restitution in a process that is growing by the day, with more than 30,000 samples collected and tens of thousands of other pieces of evidence involved.

It’s a process that has been successful with smaller spills in getting oil companies to pay without going to court.

But there are so many kinds of damage with the BP spill that hundreds of lawsuits have been filed. After all, NOAA’s Troy Baker in the assessment division said last week, “No one has faced a regionwide oil spill before. We have a regionwide set of impacts, from the ecology to human use of the Gulf.”

It’s that same process, however, that is creating a type of gag order on findings from the Gulf — keeping scientists who are contributing to the Natural Resource Damage Assessment quiet until all is settled, which could be years.

And that comes while other noted scientists are working for BP. The process is leaving those who live along the northern Gulf distrusting of government, optimistic about the beaches and this year’s crop of seafood, but leery that what lies below the surface of the Gulf in the water and on the sea floor will haunt them for decades and generations.

Big, fragile ecosystem The Gulf is big, 600,000 square miles. The oil spill amount has been likened to a football field cubed. The amount of dispersants used was 1.84 million gallons.

All was released into an ecosystem that is fragile and very diverse — from ancient, slow-growing coral reefs in the deep to thousands of square miles of shallow marshlands.

“There’s good evidence that a large part of the oil is degraded or diluted away,” said Dr. Joe Griffitt,

Arizona passes bill on birth certificates PHOENIX — Arizona, a state that has shown little reluctance in bucking the federal government, is again plowing controversial political ground, this time as its Legislature passed a bill to require President Barack Obama and other presidential candidates to prove their U.S. citizenship before their names can appear on the state’s ballot.

If Gov. Jan Brewer signs the proposal into law, Arizona would be the first state to pass such a requirement — potentially forcing a court to decide whether the president’s birth certificate is enough to prove he can legally run for re-election. Hawaii officials have certified Obama was born in that state, but so-called “birthers” have demanded more proof.

The Associated Press RALEIGH, N.C. — A brutal spring storm raged across North Carolina on Saturday, flattening businesses, flipping cars and destroying homes, leaving an unknown number of casualties from a system already blamed for killing 17 people in four states.

And in Texas, calmer winds gave firefighters a chance to get a handle on a few massive wildfires Saturday, so some residents returned to their homes — or what was left of them — in communities ravaged by the blazes.

Gary Glasscock, who owns a 300-acre ranch near Possum Kingdom Lake, found his ranch house and most trees destroyed in a fire that had grown to 45,000 acres Saturday after combining with another fire. In the popular recreation area about 120 miles west of Dallas, many resort homes were untouched by the flames while some mobile homes were left in ruins. At some houses, only the garages had burned.

Glasscock was sad to see the loss of the newly rebuilt ranch home that held special memories for his wife and three children.

“It’s just gray ash with a haze over it. It’s just like a ghost town.”

Despite firefighters’ progress to keep some blazes from spreading, 10 new fires broke out Saturday in East Texas.

The Southern storms began in Oklahoma on Thursday, then roared through Arkansas, Mississippi, Alabama and Georgia.

Officials in North Carolina said there were multiple storm fatalities, and they were working to confirm the exact number. Urban search and rescue teams were in two counties looking for residents who might be trapped in damaged buildings. In South Carolina, a church with six people inside collapsed after it was hit by a tornado, but somehow no one was injured.

Guillermo Villela, 34, said he saw two children at a Raleigh park trapped under fallen trees. “I see a lot of disaster. It’s bad.”

Pastor who burned Quran: I was duped The Gainesville, Fla., pastor who stoked violence in Afghanistan by burning a Quran in March produced a recording Saturday that he said proved he was deceived last September when he agreed to cancel plans to burn 200 Qurans.

Terry Jones played the recording — which he said was made Sept. 9 on his assistant’s iPhone — of a conversation he claimed was with Imam Muhammad Musri, a Florida Islamic leader. Just after he joined Jones to announce the canceled plans, Musri said Jones had backed down because of global pressure, not an alleged deal. On Saturday, Musri called the recording “a fake.”

aquatic toxicologist with the University of Southern Mississippi’s Gulf Coast Research Lab. “There are trillions and trillions of gallons of water in the Gulf.”

But for toxicology, that’s not the point. Having it in the breeding grounds at all during the spring and summer reproduction cycles last year could leave a lasting mark.

“While it was a dirty Gulf, there’s no way releasing that much oil and dispersant in the water is good for anybody,” he said.

But, looking back, Griffitt said, “for a long time the oil stayed in the middle of the Gulf; had it gone inland faster to the estuaries, it would have been much worse.”

Long-term impact, and mistrust Sorting out the long-term effects of the oil and dispersant will take time.

In a recently released study, scientists found the dispersant Corexit present in the water 200 miles from the wellhead as long as two months after the company stopped spraying it, which shows it existed longer than expected, Griffitt said.

USM’s Gulf Coast Research Lab has spent a lot of its own money to gather baseline and other information essential to long-term studies. And there’s no substantial money coming in, said Director Bill Hawkins.

Guidelines aren’t even out for how to apply for the $500 million BP set aside for long-term research. Gulf researchers are anxiously awaiting that.

“It’s the biggest pot of money available,” Griffitt said.

All the while, reports of turtles and dolphins dying in extraordinary numbers nine and 10 months after the spill leave the public worried and distrustful.

“If there’s a major negative coming out of this,” Hawkins said, “it’s the mistrust of government agencies and political bodies.”

He said NOAA has done a solid job of proving the seafood is safe to eat with outstanding scientists and the latest in equipment, but people don’t believe it.

Moby Solangi, director of the Institute for Marine Mammal Studies, attributes that mistrust to the way data is being whisked away for the court cases.

“Putting restrictions on independent work, then not having answers, makes people anxious.

“And if you’re going to fix things, you need to know what’s broke. We need a quicker response,” he said. “This waiting to the end to say ‘we think this

is what happened,’ people don’t want that. By then it’s too late to do anything.”

All told, BP says it has paid state and local governments more than $754 million and reimbursed the federal government for another $694 million.

Personal businesses have been considerably slower to collect their claims.

“The perception of oil is out there, even with the food,” said Matt McDonnell, Mississippi Coast Coliseum and Convention Center. “We still need a strong message that the food is safe and the beaches are clean.”

The government totals last year on wildlife killed or harmed include 1,149 sea turtles, 115 dol-

phins and whales, and more than 8,000 birds from 102 species.

Since these counts were tabulated, media reports indicate at least 181 dead turtles, most of them the endangered Kemp’s Ridley, have washed ashore and 190 additional dolphins, including 70 stillborn or infants.

Scientists estimate 50 times as many marine mammals die as are found washed ashore and five times as many turtles.

But in a report last week, while advocating for Gulf restoration and ranking the prospects for wetlands, Bluefin tuna and sea turtles “poor,” the National Wildlife Federation ranked the outlook for pelicans, dolphins and shrimp as “good.”

Depending on your sister’s age, she may be able to transfer the inherited funds to a special needs trust. The trust funds can then be used to supplement your sister’s needs that are not being covered by SSI and Medicaid. The Trust would need to be set up by a parent or by court order. If your sister did not qualify to set up such a trust, then the funds could be spent on assets for her benefit that are exempt under SSI and Medicaid, such as a home or vehicle.

If I have a revocable living trust, do I need a power of attorney?

Yes, although your successor trustee named in your revocable living trust can act on your behalf if you die or become incapacitated, that person can only deal with assets in your trust.

The power of attorney allows your agent or attorneyin-fact to deal with matters outside the trust such as communicating with government agencies, engaging in transactions on financial accounts that are not in the trust, and contracting to provide for your care and wellbeing. The power of attorney can be revoked at any time and it is automatically revoked at death. The same person can act as your successor trustee under your revocable living trust and your agent under your power of attorney.

The new Republican members of the House are off to a slow start in raising money for their re-election campaigns.

On average, the GOP freshmen raised $176,000 for their campaigns during the first quarter, according to federal disclosure reports. That compares with $287,000 raised by freshman Democrats in the first quarter of 2009 and $242,000 in 2007 — both years when the Democrats were coming off big gains and looking to hold on to new seats.

At the same time, the overall amount of money raised by House incumbents in the first quarter increased by 22 percent, to $63.9 million, compared with two years ago.

Loughner, who is being held on murder and other charges in the attack, began attending classes at the college in 2005, but was eventually kicked out because of behavior campus police considered disturbing. He was told to get a mental health evaluation or not return.

Media requests included questions about whether the college ever sought to get Loughner a mental health evaluation when he was a student or whether he had ever threatened to kill anyone on campus. The college either refused to answer questions or released short, prepared statements.

E-mails — dozens of which were redacted by the school, either totally or in part — show how the college also strived to safeguard its image in the face of national attention.

The idea of holding a campus news conference was dismissed

by Assistant Vice Chancellor for Marketing Rachelle Howell in an e-mail sent the morning of Jan. 9.

It may get worse.

You may not need surgery to make it better.

Ask your doctor about XIAFLEX®, the only nonsurgical, FDA-approved treatment for adults with Dupuytren’s contracture when a cord can be felt.

Call 1-877-XIAFLEX or visit MYXIAFLEX.com to find a hand specialist near you.

XIAFLEX® is a prescription medicine used to treat adults with Dupuytren’s contracture when a “cord” can be felt.

Over time, the thickening of this cord in your hand can cause one or more fingers to bend toward your palm, so that you cannot straighten them.

XIAFLEX should be injected into the cord by a healthcare provider who is experienced in injection procedures of the hand and treating people with Dupuytren’s contracture. XIAFLEX helps to break down the cord that is causing the finger to be bent.

Before receiving XIAFLEX, tell your healthcare provider if you have had an allergic reaction to a previous XIAFLEX injection, or have a bleeding problem or any other medical conditions.

Tell your healthcare provider about all the medicines you take, including prescription and non-prescription medicines, vitamins, and herbal supplements. Be sure to tell them if you use blood thinners such as aspirin, clopidogrel (Plavix®), prasugrel hydrochloride (Effient®), or warfarin sodium (Coumadin®).

If you have Dupuytren’s contracture, the rope-like cord you feel in the palm of your hand will continue to cause your fingers to bend toward your palm, and may worsen over time.

IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION XIAFLEX can cause serious side effects, including: • Tendon or ligament damage.

Receiving an injection of XIAFLEX may cause damage to a tendon or ligament in your hand and cause it to break or weaken. This could require surgery to fix the damaged

tendon or ligament. Call your healthcare provider right away if you have trouble bending your injected finger (towards the wrist) after the swelling goes down or you have problems using your treated hand after your follow-up visit.

• Nerve injury or other serious injury of the hand. Call your healthcare provider if you get numbness, tingling, or increased pain in your treated finger or hand after your injection or after your follow-up visit.

• Allergic reactions. Allergic reactions can happen in people who have received an injection of XIAFLEX because it contains foreign proteins.

Call your healthcare provider right away if you have any of these symptoms of an allergic reaction after an injection of XIAFLEX: hives; swollen face; breathing trouble; or chest pain.

Flaherty Continued from A1 “It seems to me to be a big waste of time and effort,” Maier said. “…

It just seems like someone has kind of lost their mind on it.”

Flaherty recently sat for a 45minute interview, accompanied by his chief deputy, Traci Anderson, and J. Pat Horton, a former Lane County district attorney who now works for Flaherty as a deputy prosecutor and a top adviser.

Becoming a lawyer The son of a millworker, Flaherty grew up in the St. Johns neighborhood of Portland. In his high school yearbook, the young Flaherty flashes the same soft smile he sometimes displays today, but there is no hint of the accomplished litigator or competitive political candidate he was to become. Flaherty didn’t play sports, he wasn’t named to the honor society, and he didn’t get involved in student government.

He graduated from Benson Polytechnic High School in 1974 and attended the University of Oregon in Eugene, where he majored in political science and joined the fraternity Sigma Chi. He obtained a bachelor’s degree in 1979 and went to the university’s law school, from which he graduated in 1985.

Flaherty wanted to become a lawyer so badly that he took the bar exam three times. He flunked in his first attempt, in Oregon. He passed on his second try, which happened in Hawaii, but says he wasn’t able to secure the three letters of recommendation from lawyers necessary in that state.

He was in a “difficult” divorce from a Hawaii woman whose father and cousin were lawyers. As a result, he said, some of the logical people could not serve as his references.

Moving back to Oregon in 1988, Flaherty worked as a court clerk in Clackamas County. He met an aggressive public defender there named Valerie Wright.

When he learned she’d attended Harvard College for her undergraduate degree, he made a lasting impression by mentioning he’d read a book by one of her former professors, John Rawls, called “A Theory of Justice.”

“I just thought he was a true person, a real person,” Wright recalled of meeting Flaherty.

“There was nothing phony about him.”

Within months, they were an item, and Wright learned Flaherty was a devoted fly fisherman. “The very first gift he gave me was a pair of waders,” she said.

Flaherty took the bar exam again and obtained his law license, only to realize that few jobs were available in environmental law, his first choice.

In 1989, the couple moved to Lincoln County, where they both took jobs as prosecutors. In 1990, they married, and in 1992, they accepted jobs with Dugan. Together, they raised Flaherty’s son from his earlier marriage.

After a short time, Wright left the office to work as a criminal defense attorney.

But Flaherty stayed, despite what he says was dissatisfaction with Dugan’s management.

“I remained, and I don’t regret that, because I did a lot of great work — and I’m back,” Flaherty said in a conference room last month, spreading his arms to indicate the DA’s office.

“Because this is what I want to do,” he added. “I want to serve, and I believe in justice and fighting crime and ensuring public safety.”

Last month, Flaherty canceled

a second interview. He did not respond to repeated e-mails and voice mails asking follow-up questions.

Respected in court Flaherty’s supporters and critics agree on one thing: He is an excellent trial lawyer.

Dan Glode, the former Lincoln County district attorney who gave Flaherty his first prosecuting job, called him “the kind of guy you could hand … a case, and it would be done well all the time. He was thorough, he was intelligent; his research was impeccable.”

Linda Snow served as Flaherty’s trial assistant from 1997 until he resigned in 2001. While she did not care for his management style, she respected his legal skills greatly. Flaherty displayed a “wonderful rapport” with victims and witnesses in court, she said, adding, “He was a powerful force in the courtroom, always very well prepared.”

On the strength of those talents, he climbed the ranks to become Dugan’s chief deputy, where he handled many of the office’s high-profile cases — such as his successful prosecution of Richard Coym, accused of 21 counts of rape and other sex crimes between 1991 and 1996.

One of Flaherty’s most celebrated cases was the 1995 conviction of Jack Crescenzi for the murder of his wife. It was a particularly difficult case to prosecute because no body was found.

“That is nothing but pure, unadulterated sweat when you put together a case like that,” recalled former Bend Police Chief Dave Malkin, who supported Flaherty in the campaign. “He’s one of the hardest-working prosecutors I’ve ever been around.”

‘No people skills’ But a team of consultants hired by the county and Dugan to look at the District Attorney’s Office in 2000 found that Flaherty’s success in the courtroom did not translate to effective management.

In all, the consultants interviewed more than 40 people, including prosecutors, other DA staffers, judges and law enforcement officials. The report released publicly in March of that year suggested that Dugan reorganize his office.

Privately, the consultants delivered a more pointed analysis of the office, according to notes from a series of private meetings with Dugan. The notes were obtained from the county under Oregon Public Records Law. The consultants blamed many of the office’s problems on Flaherty’s management style. The notes said that while Dugan carried a load of about 200 cases, Flaherty carried fewer than half that, “cherry-picking” the best cases and focusing on them to the exclusion of his management responsibilities, such as mentoring young prosecutors.

He “doesn’t run the show, (he) runs his desk,” the notes said.

They added that Flaherty’s manner of assigning cases to subordinates was at times viewed as “retribution by chief deputy” and that Flaherty made the job so stressful that some deputies were looking for work elsewhere.

According to the notes, people told the consultants that Flaherty has “no people skills” and “horrible political senses,” “runs roughshod,” uses “offensive language,” is “overbearing” and “rude,” and “talks down to staff.”

The District Attorney’s Office works closely with local law enforcement agencies, but the consultants found those relationships had been damaged by Flaherty’s style. “Patrick Flaherty has upset

C OV ER S T ORY all the agencies,” the notes said, adding that “Patrick’s demeanor/ personality with agency creates issues.”

Last spring, when Dugan spoke of the consultants’ findings during the campaign, Flaherty dismissed their work as an effort by Dugan to get rid of him. Flaherty said Dugan engineered the report because he did not approve of Flaherty’s push to get Deschutes County sheriff candidate Les Stiles elected in 2000.

The meeting notes were taken

by Dugan, but their accuracy was substantiated by one of the consultants, H. Robert Hamilton, a longtime state and county prosecutor who researched and wrote the report with Marla Rae, a former Oregon State Police official who now serves as chairwoman of the Oregon Fish and Wildlife Commission.

“The notes sound consistent with the discussions that I recall,” Hamilton said, after the sections on Flaherty were read to him over the phone.

Maier, the former Deschutes County administrator, attended the private briefings with Dugan and also vouched for the notes’ accuracy. “There were some real problems,” Maier recalled, adding that Flaherty “was in the eye of the storm.”

Snow, Flaherty’s former trial assistant, also said the notes are an accurate depiction. While she respected Flaherty as a lawyer, she said he had an explosive temper. She recalls him getting angry because a fellow lawyer changed the thermostat, or because he preferred a different-size manila folder. “He would swear at people to their face,” Snow said.

The notes of meetings with the consultants describe plans for Dugan to have a “Come to Jesus” meeting with Flaherty in August 2000. They laid out options in which Flaherty might leave voluntarily, be fired, or stay and improve at his job. Improvement, they observed, would “require personality transformation.” The notes do not clearly spell out what happened in the meeting, but Maier recalls Dugan intending to demote Flaherty.

Dugan declined to comment for this story.

In the end, Dugan let Flaherty keep his title but reduced his authority. Another prosecutor, Darryl Nakahira, was elevated to be Flaherty’s co-chief deputy.

Flaherty stayed, but according to Snow, “he was unhappy with the fact that his duties had been reduced.”

Flaherty was not long for the office, leaving in early April. At the time, he told The Bulletin he needed a break from the stress of prosecuting.

Last month, he said he actually left “for a number of reasons, but it can best be summarized and described as saying that I had philosophical difference with Mr. Dugan that came to a point where it was clear that they were irresolvable.”

Snow said that the night before Flaherty resigned, he called and told her his plans, explaining he was unhappy about his reduced responsibilities. He told her the “straw that broke the camel’s back” that made him leave concerned a murder case in which a 56-year-old Bend woman, Barbara Thomas, was shot to death, Snow recalled.

With Flaherty on vacation, Dugan assigned the high-profile case to Nakahira. Upon his return, Flaherty asked for the case, only to be denied.

He quit days later, leaving two of his former colleagues to start cold on a complex murder-byabuse case that was scheduled for trial in just five weeks. Lisa Lynn Stickney had been charged with

step up its patrols.

Mark Amberg, the former Deschutes County deputy counsel who worked with neighbors on the problem, described Flaherty’s approach as “very assertive.”

Stabb, Flaherty’s neighbor, said that considering the forceful style he witnessed on the Tetherow bridge problem, he’s not surprised that Flaherty’s approach in the office has alienated people.

“When he takes on something, he does it with vim and vigor and gusto, like he did with cleaning up the Tetherow Crossing problem,” Stabb said.

“I think he looks like a very serious fellow. Looking at him, probably you don’t imagine him cracking up. But he loves to laugh. ...

He enjoys comic relief.”

— Valerie Wright, Flaherty’s wife

shaking her baby to death. Stickney was found not guilty beyond a reasonable doubt.

High-profile attorney What happened next for Flaherty was not as difficult as it might seem, he said in the interview.

He joined his wife’s Bend law firm, and switched from prosecuting criminal defendants to representing them.

Though his role was different, he remained a high-profile attorney. In 2006, for instance, he defended Redmond police officer Robert Stratton, who was found guilty of pulling over and assaulting a motorist while off duty.

Flaherty also continued to fight crime, only in his spare time.

After moving to the outskirts of Redmond in 2005, he turned his attention to a group of outsiders who neighbors said had taken over the neighborhood swimming hole, near Tetherow Crossing Bridge.

Sheridan, Flaherty’s neighbor, said the spot became a place for “drunken brawls” and “drinking and drugging and screaming.”

Flaherty played a prominent role, spearheading a neighborhood watch group and lobbying county officials to set up a no-parking zone near the bridge and to permit barricades along the roadside to

• Nerve injury or other serious injury of the hand. Call your healthcare provider if you get numbness, tingling, or increased pain in your treated finger or hand after your injection or after your follow-up visit.

• Allergic Reactions. Allergic reactions can happen in people who take XIAFLEX because it contains foreign proteins.

Call your healthcare provider right away if you have any of these symptoms of an allergic reaction after an injection of XIAFLEX: • hives • swollen face • breathing trouble • chest pain What is XIAFLEX? XIAFLEX is a prescription medicine used to treat adults with Dupuytren’s contracture when a “cord” can be felt.

In people with Dupuytren’s contracture, there is thickening of the skin and tissue in the palm of your hand that is not normal.

Overtime, this thickened tissue can form a cord in your palm. This causes one or more of your fingers to bend toward the palm, so you cannot straighten them.

XIAFLEX should be injected into a cord by a healthcare provider who is skilled in injection procedures of the hand and treating people with Dupuytren’s contracture.

The proteins in XIAFLEX help to “break” the cord of tissue that is causing the finger to be bent.

It is not known if XIAFLEX is safe and effective in children under the age of 18.

discourage parking there.

County officials cooperated.

But when Ed Stabb, owner of the land near the swimming hole, lined the road with boulders, officials said he should push them a few feet back for fear that a motorist would hit them and potentially sue the county.

Stabb thought the county’s stance was reasonable. Flaherty, however, sent a letter dismissing the county’s concerns.

“Isn’t it true that only a driver committing a traffic violation … will ever have a problem with the boulders? In that event, the county doesn’t have to worry about liability, does it?” Flaherty wrote.

He and his neighbors succeeded in persuading the county to set up a no-parking zone around the bridge. They also persuaded the sheriff’s office to

The campaign, and firing of prosecutors During last year’s campaign, Flaherty said he’d make the District Attorney’s Office a more transparent, efficient organization, one that didn’t waste money on cases that didn’t merit prosecution.

Flaherty cultivated support among his fellow criminal defense lawyers, arguing that Dugan was using the threat of stiff mandatory minimum sentences to force defendants to plead guilty to crimes they didn’t commit.

He also won Republican support by accusing Dugan of playing politics by supporting two tax measures as well as campaigning for his wife, Judy Stiegler, then Bend’s Democratic state representative.

What should I tell my healthcare provider before starting treatment with XIAFLEX? XIAFLEX may not be right for you.

Before receiving XIAFLEX, tell your healthcare provider if you: • have had an allergic reaction to a previous XIAFLEX injection.

• have a bleeding problem.

• have any other medical conditions.

• are pregnant or plan to become pregnant. It is not known if XIAFLEX will harm your unborn baby.

• are breastfeeding. It is not known if XIAFLEX passes into your breast-milk. Talk to your healthcare provider about the best way to feed your baby if you receive XIAFLEX. Tell your healthcare provider about all the medicines you take, including prescription and non-prescription medicines, vitamins, and herbal supplements.

Especially tell your healthcare provider if you use: a blood thinner medicine such as aspirin, clopidogrel (PLAVIX®), prasugrel hydrochloride (EFFIENT®), or warfarin sodium (COUMADIN®).

If you are told to stop taking a blood thinner before your XIAFLEX injection, your healthcare provider should tell you when to restart the blood thinner.

How will I receive XIAFLEX? Your healthcare provider will inject XIAFLEX into the cord that is causing your finger to bend.

After an injection of XIAFLEX, your affected hand will be wrapped with a bandage. You should limit moving and using the treated finger after the injection.

Do not bend or straighten the fingers of the injected hand until your healthcare provider says it is okay. This will help prevent the medicine from leaking out of the cord.

Do not try to straighten the treated finger yourself.

Keep the injected hand elevated until bedtime.

Call your healthcare provider right away if you have: • signs of infection after your injection, such as fever, chills, increased redness, or swelling • numbness or tingling in the treated finger • trouble bending the injected finger after the swelling goes down Return to your healthcare provider’s office as directed on the day after your injection. During this first follow-up visit, if you still have the cord, your

healthcare provider may try to extend the treated finger to “break” the cord and try to straighten your finger.

Your healthcare provider will provide you with a splint to wear on the treated finger. Wear the splint as instructed by your healthcare provider at bedtime to keep your finger straight.

Do finger exercises each day, as instructed by your healthcare provider.

Follow your healthcare provider’s instructions about when you can start doing your normal activities with the injected hand.

What are the possible side effects of XIAFLEX? XIAFLEX can cause serious side effects. See “What is the most important information I should know about XIAFLEX?”.

Common side effects with XIAFLEX include: • swelling of the injection site or the hand • bleeding or bruising at the injection site • pain or tenderness of the injection site or the hand • swelling of the lymphnodes (glands) in the elbow or underarm • itching • breaks in the skin • redness or warmth of the skin • pain in the underarm These are not all of the possible side effects with XIAFLEX. Tell your healthcare provider about any side effect that bothers you or does not go away.

Call your doctor for medical advice about side effects. You may report side effects to the FDA at 1-800-FDA-1088.

General information about XIAFLEX Medicines are sometimes prescribed for purposes other than those listed here. This is a summary of the most important information about XIAFLEX. If you would like more information, talk to your healthcare provider. You can ask your healthcare provider for information about XIAFLEX that is written for health professionals.

THE BULLETIN • Sunday, April 17, 2011 A7

Continued from previous page “A criminal charge should never be filed against an individual unless it’s the right thing to do,” he said at a debate with Dugan at the Bend Public Library. “I will not misuse the power of the District Attorney’s Office.”

In late April, he wrote on his Facebook page that rumors that he would fire several prosecutors upon taking over as DA were nonsensical “fear-mongering.”

“Why would I hamper the functioning of the office?” he asked.

“Wouldn’t that be the dumbest thing I could do? And why would I think I knew who was functioning well and who wasn’t if I didn’t give all of the employees an opportunity to shine under new and competent leadership?”

Nevertheless, several current and former Dugan deputy prosecutors opposed him. For instance, Victoria Roe, who’d worked with Flaherty, wrote a letter to The Bulletin describing him as “combative, retaliatory and antagonistic.”

He won the May election handily, garnering more than 22,000 votes to Dugan’s 14,000.

The next month, prosecutors in the office moved to form a union.

In August, as the union was organizing, Flaherty notified Nakahira that he would be fired.

That fall, he indicated there would be more firings, causing Deschutes County Counsel Mark Pilliod to express concern in a letter to the state Department of

Justice, which represents elected district attorneys. He wrote that Flaherty was believed to be targeting, among others, Jody Vaughan and Brentley Foster — two assistant district attorneys who served as president and vice president of the new union, respectively — and expressed concern that the move would spark an unfair labor practice complaint, essentially for union-busting.

The DOJ sent Pilliod’s letter to Flaherty. Undeterred, he sent letters to Vaughan, Foster and two other deputies, Phil Duong and Mary Anderson, notifying them that they also would be fired.

Upon taking office, Flaherty immediately hired three men who’d supported him during the campaign: Thomas Howes, Dugan’s predecessor as district attorney; Les Stiles, a former Deschutes County sheriff; and Jerry Stone, a former Bend police lieutenant.

Last month, Flaherty’s wife, Wright, said he wants to surround himself with people who share his “sense of justice.”

And Stiles, a longtime friend of Flaherty, said the new DA is a believer in the teachings of Jim Collins, the business and leadership author who wrote the book “Good to Great.”

Collins’ teaching is all about having the right people in your organization — or “who do you have on the bus and what seat are they in on the bus,” Stiles said.

Even as Flaherty made chang-

es to the office, he launched a wide-ranging investigation of Pilliod, who had released personal telephone numbers and driver’s license information to The Bulletin in response to a public records request.

Though Pilliod called the release inadvertent, Flaherty said Oregon Public Records Law prohibits release of the information.

However, several legal experts disagree with this interpretation of the law. The specific statutes Flaherty said had been violated clearly permit officials to release personal information in the public interest.

Flaherty staffed his Pilliod probe with three prosecutors. He used subpoenas to compel testimony from nine county employees and unsuccessfully issued one to The Bulletin reporter who had requested the records. For reasons that are unclear, he also demanded all records requests submitted

by The Bulletin going back to 2002 as well as the county’s responses.

Besides that, he demanded more than 25,000 e-mails of current and former county employees.

In the end, he dropped the investigation in return for a letter from Pilliod expressing regret about the information release.

Meanwhile, on April 1, three of the fired prosecutors, Vaughan, Foster and Duong, sued the county and Flaherty for more than $22 million, saying they were fired because of their union activities.

Flaherty has failed to respond to questions about the suit or about reforms he plans for the office. He has not replied to several public records requests filed weeks ago.

Last month, however, Stiles, who’s since left the DA’s office, said Flaherty is looking at a variety of reforms such as dismissing cases that were improperly charged.

J. Brendon Alexander, a Bend criminal defense lawyer, said he’s already seen signs that local prosecutors are not as quick as they used to be in filing Measure 11 charges, which bear stiff mandatory minimum sentences. He hopes Flaherty will influence how his prosecutors work.

“He was stubborn but openminded,” Alexander said. “He believes in social justice.”

Deschutes County Commissioner Tammy Baney isn’t so sure.

She feels Flaherty’s prosecution of Pilliod was payback, and feels his changes to the office have been pursued in a costly, disrespectful and unproductive way.

She hopes Flaherty can learn lessons from his first few months.

But she’s not counting on it. “I don’t see a lot of humble leadership — and to me that’s huge,” she said. “I’m not sure that it’s in his character to change.”

Dispatch calls

used to discourage parking.

Flaherty reported him for trespassing, providing photos that led to his arrest. However, the District Attorney’s Office dropped the charges, apparently because the property in question wasn’t private.

“I didn’t do anything wrong,” said Papenhausen, who said Flaherty just doesn’t like people having fun. “He’s out there all the time ... with his binoculars. We just kind of laugh.”

Flaherty even confronted Papenhausen in person, with the two men yelling at one another, according to county 911 records.

Flaherty’s calls also included some false alarms.

At about 5:15 p.m. on May 9, 2007, Flaherty called to report public intoxication, saying that some men with a dog were on the bridge, one of the men drinking beer. According to the dispatch notes, the deputy who responded labeled Flaherty’s call “unfounded.” He reported that the man “isn’t drunk. Just old and enjoying himself. Drinking a Pepsi.”

At 4:36 p.m. on May 9, 2007, he reported a car illegally parked on the bridge, but it turned out to be some “people estimating a job for the county,” the responding deputy told dispatch.

Shortly past noon on June 29, 2007, he reported a car parked illegally. The sheriff’s deputy who arrived reported back that the vehicle’s occupants were “dealing with a sick child.”

At about 7:20 p.m. on July 9, 2008, he reported that a car had parked illegally before driving away, leaving an “intoxicated subject” at the river with some other people. The responding deputy reported back that “they are just swimming. None of the subjects are (intoxicated).”

Other times it was unclear what was going on.

At 4:46 p.m. on July 11, 2008, Flaherty called to report an illegally parked car. “Appears subject is drinking and driving. But cannot tell if it is beer or not. Big dark can.” The man and his companions “left quickly — seemed strange,” Flaherty added.

At 5:21 p.m. on March 30, 2009, he called to report a car that parked illegally then left. Flaherty “thinks they dumped something out of the trunk and dumped it on the southeast side of the bridge.

But not really sure if they dumped anything.”

Many times, his calls were ignored. For instance, at about 9:30 p.m. on July 4, 2006, and again 15 minutes later, he called to complain about fireworks near the bridge.

At 7:30 p.m. on April 28, 2007, Flaherty called to report that some people in a red pickup were parked after hours in a local park and were “taking limbs from trees.” The dispatcher wrote that Flaherty “is upset that (law enforcement) is not handling this situation.”

In all, officers and deputies were dispatched to the scene on about 125 of his 293 calls.

After illegal parking, his second most common type of call was to follow up on other calls. He did that 18 times. He also reported “suspicious circumstances” 16 times. He suspected people had been drinking and driving 13 times.

Since November, Flaherty has largely stopped calling the dispatch center.

The exception came at about 6

p.m. on Valentine’s Day, Feb. 14.

He called the dispatch center to report that two young men had “stumbled” past him and his wife as they left her law office. The men did not respond to Flaherty’s attempts to speak with him and instead got in their black Subaru wagon with skis on top. They pulled out of the building parking lot and parked in the apartment complex next door with their lights on. Flaherty said they seemed to be avoiding scrutiny.

“I think they’re — well, it’s suspicious, I’ll leave it at that,” he told the dispatcher, according to a recording of the call. There is no record of any arrest or contact with the two men by police officers, though an officer was dispatched to check the area.

Nelson, with the Sheriff’s Office, said that his agency welcomes calls for service. He said there is no such thing as too many calls if they are to report real problems. He de-

clined to comment on Flaherty’s call tally, but he said even reporting a small thing — like one illegally parked car — makes sense.

“If one little problem starts, all the other problems follow,” he said. “Instead of one car here and there, it’s going to be 15 cars.”

Silbaugh said the dispatch center does not track the number of calls a person makes — “unless we get someone using 911 for things that are not of an emergency nature.”

The number of calls Flaherty made came as a shock to Cheryl Howard, whom Bend police describe as one of the most active neighborhood watch volunteers in the city.

She said officers often appreciate calls because it gives them a reason to make contact with potential wrongdoers. But she said she would be surprised if she’s made more than a dozen calls for service in the last five years.

“It seems to me a little hyper-

vigilant,” she said of Flaherty’s frequent calls. “I mean, I can understand concern, but at what point does concern become excessive? ... I’m just kind of flabbergasted.”

Stabb, Flaherty’s neighbor, said the Sheriff’s Office had urged neighbors to call in any suspicious activity. He defended Flaherty’s calls as the natural thing to do to defend the neighborhood.

“Fundamentally, the people from the neighborhood are very happy and very supportive (of Flaherty), because he cleaned up an ugly drug problem here with his fairly strong-arm style,” Stabb said.

He said Flaherty isn’t a liberal, live-and-let-live type. “Some people tend to be a little bit more polarized, a law-and-order kind of thing,” he said.

Continued from A1 In 2006 and early 2007, the swimming hole was effectively taken over by a group whose members dealt drugs, fought and engaged in public indecency, according to neighbors and current and former county officials.

“In my view, they had very legitimate concerns about what was going on down there at Tetherow Crossing,” said former Deschutes County Deputy Counsel Mark Amberg, who worked on the county’s response to the problems. “There was a criminal element hanging out there.”

Ed Stabb, who owned the land closest to the swimming hole, said he frequently found syringes after people had left, likely indicating methamphetamine use.

Flaherty took a prominent role in the neighborhood’s response, proposing a no-parking zone, including signs and barricades to deter illegal parking. He pushed Deschutes County commissioners to support the idea — even providing photos of what he said was criminal activity.

Discouraging parking near the Tetherow Crossing Bridge was critical, Flaherty told the commissioners, according to minutes of the March 2007 meeting. That way, the only legal place to leave one’s vehicle would be at a park north of the bridge.

Those who liked to park on the bridge or nearby were often up to no good, Flaherty told commissioners, according to the minutes: “He’s not a sociologist and can’t explain why, but ... criminals want to be able to park on the bridge; they do not go across the bridge and park at the park or other places. They want to be close to their vehicles where they probably have their dope and music.”

In 2007 alone, Flaherty made 149 calls for service at the bridge, many for parking, trespassing and suspicious circumstances.

In August 2007, Flaherty sent a letter to county commissioners saying the no-parking zone had been “an unqualified and dramatic success!” While he’d described the swimming hole previously as a “crime zone,” he wrote that “There is currently no ‘crime zone’ at Tetherow Bridge.”

Today, neighbors and sheriff’s Lt. Shane Nelson agree that the measures Flaherty spearheaded have eliminated the problem.

But Flaherty has continued to call regularly. Following a sixmonth hiatus during his campaign for district attorney last year, he made 22 calls to the dispatch center in a 15-week period between June 5 and Oct. 26, records show.

Only four of his 293 calls led to arrests. Two were DUII arrests, and the others were for outstanding warrants. There have been no arrests since October 2007.

For instance, at about 6 p.m. on March 1, 2006, Flaherty reported “suspicious circumstances” in that a car had been parked near the bridge for two hours, and a woman in the car had urinated in public. A sheriff’s deputy who responded found that the woman was wanted on a misdemeanor warrant.

In 2007, Flaherty’s attention seemed to be focused on one man, Richard Lee Papenhausen, now 62. Papenhausen and Flaherty had clashed repeatedly, with Flaherty accusing the man of moving the 18-inch boulders the neighbors

husband, including about what drives him.

There’s also a lot about his personality that’s been obscured by the controversy, she said.

In photos, “I think he looks like a very serious fellow,” Valerie Wright said. “Looking at him, probably you don’t imagine him cracking up. But he loves to laugh. … He enjoys comic relief.”

She said Flaherty is a devoted gardener, cultivating tomatoes, lettuce, blueberries, raspberries and squash. He doesn’t use chemicals so that birds and insects aren’t harmed.

“He’s probably happiest with his elbows deep in Central Oregon dirt,” she said. “He looks at it as a pretty holistic type of endeavor. …

He loves nature.”

As for her husband’s bulldog personality and how he’s approached his new office, Wright puts it this way: “There are some people who understand that you may have an easier time if you don’t shake up the status quo,” she said. “And then there are other people who think we’re here to do the best job we can do.

“And if that means not making people comfortable initially, well, so be it,” she added. “Our job is to do the best that can be done, not just to make do and not ruffle any feathers.”

Stem cells Continued from A1 “We were just stunned,� said Atchison, who was with his mother and grandfather when researchers approached him. “We were like, ‘Woo, really?’ We were all just kind of in awe.�

Atchison, known to friends and family as T.J., described the events during an interview Tuesday with The Washington Post — his first detailed account since disclosing his carefully guarded identity to the media. Atchison’s story reveals provocative insights into one of the most closely watched medical experiments, including what some may see as an irony: that a treatment condemned on moral and religious grounds is viewed by the first person to pioneer the therapy, and his family, as part of God’s plan. “It wasn’t just luck or chance,� said Atchison, who thinks, six months after the treatment, that he may be feeling the first signs that the cells are helping him. “It was meant to be.�

Atchison, whose Sept. 25 crash occurred while visiting home during his second semester at the University of South Alabama College of Nursing, had heard about embryonic stem cells’ potentially revolutionary power to morph into almost any tissue in the body as well as their infamy because days-old embryos are destroyed to get them. “I didn’t know as much about it then as I know now. I did know that stem cells could be used to cure all kinds of things,� Atchison said, swiveling in his wheelchair, which like his car and many other belongings is the University of Alabama football team’s crimson. “I was thinking like 50 years down the road or something like that.�

Raised Baptist in a small town where the main road has more churches than fast-food restaurants, Atchison nonetheless has no moral qualms about launching the first U.S. government-sanctioned attempt to study a treatment using embryonic stem cells in people. The cells implanted into his spine were obtained from embryos being discarded at fertility clinics, he notes. “It’s not life. It’s not like they’re coming from an aborted fetus or anything like that. They were going to be thrown away,� he said. “Once they explained to me where the stem cells were coming from, once I learned that, I was OK with it.�

While undergoing surgeries and other treatments to repair his shattered spine, broken collar bone and pinky finger, and nearly severed ear at the University of Alabama Medical Center in Mobile immediately after the accident, Atchison was befriended by the pastor of a local Pentecostal church. When he found out the following week what Atchison had agreed to do, the pastor was uncertain how his community would respond. “I said, ‘This is not going to be popular with some people. You might face death threats. You don’t know what the reaction is going to be,’� said Troy Bailey of the Reynolds Holiness Church later in the day.

Bailey realized he had to sort out his own stance, given that some people who, like him, oppose abortion also consider embryonic stem cell research to be immoral.

But Bailey concluded that he too believed the experimental treatment is acceptable because of the way the cells were obtained.

Bailey announced his conclusion to his parish the Sunday after Atchison’s Oct. 8 procedure and invited his congregation to come to him with any objections. But he said he has never heard any complaints from anyone in town, which has rallied around Atchison and his family, including building a ramp around his mother’s house and laying a concrete walkway for his wheelchair.

If Atchison’s role in the research has not provoked any overt objections among his friends, family, neighbors and fellow churchgoers, the study that he began has prompted denunciations from critics who oppose the research on moral grounds as well as an intense debate among scientists, bioethicists and others who support the research.

Some worry that not enough basic studies and tests in animals were done before injecting cells into recently paralyzed patients.

Many worry the cells could be harmful, with the biggest dangers being that they will cause tumors or tortuous pain. Still others wonder whether patients who are still struggling to come to terms with their devastating injuries can make that kind of risky decision just two weeks after such trauma.

Many proponents fear that if something goes wrong — or even if the cells fail to show any sign of helping patients — it could be a major blow for the field at a time when federal funding for the research is under attack in court and in Congress.

Timothy Atchison, a 21-year-old nursing student from Chatom, Ala., injured his spinal cord at the T7 vertebra on Sept. 25, 2010, which paralyzed him from the chest down.

Doctors injected a drug made from stem cells into the site of Atchison’s injury in October 2010, hoping the cells would restore some function to his spine’s nerve pathways.

THE INJURY Nerve fibers in Atchison’s spinal cord were damaged, and the resulting inflammation killed vital cells called oligodendrocytes. One of the functions of these cells is insulating nerve fibers with myelin, a sheath that keeps the nervous system’s messages from getting interrupted the same way rubber coating keeps electrical wires from short-circuiting.

THE TREATMENT

David Bundy / For The Washington Post

Timothy Atchison sits with Lily, his year-old Yorkshire terrier, outside his home in Chatom, Ala. “It wasn’t just luck or chance,� said Atchison, who thinks, six months after his treatment, that he may be feeling the first signs that the stem cells are helping him.

Atchison dismissed such concerns and praised his care at the Shepherd Center in Atlanta, where he was transferred for rehabilitation. Shepherd is one of seven centers recruited by the Geron Corp. of Menlo Park, Calif., which is sponsoring the trial to test the cells on 10 patients.

Three days after arriving at Shepherd, doctors invited Atchison to undergo tests to see if he met the study’s strict criteria.

After the procedure, Atchison spent three months undergoing the center’s standard program, learning how to bathe, cook and care for himself. But he had to keep his involvement in the study secret, even when a friend in rehab wished aloud he could get stem cells so he could walk again. “I kind of wanted to tell him, ‘Hey, you know it could be closer than you think? Because it’s already happened,’� he said. “I just didn’t want him to feel upset about me getting it or anything like that.

I didn’t want him to think I was going to be able to walk because of this.�

And although his doctors have stressed that they gave him a very low dose primarily to look for any adverse side effects, Atchison believes the cells may already be helping him. In studies involving rats, partially paralyzed animals that received the cells regained the ability to move.

In recent weeks, after months of feeling or being able to move nothing below his chest, Atchison said he has begun to get some very slight sensation: He can feel relief when he lifts a bowling ball off his lap and discern discomfort when he pulls on hairs on some parts of his legs. He has also strengthened his abdomen. “That’s something that just happened recently. It’s just slowly progressed more and more,� he said, noting that rodents that received the cells did not start to regain movement until nine months after being treated.

Geron would not discuss Atchison’s case. The company is keeping the results of its tests on Atchison and other study subjects confidential for now. “It’s driving everybody crazy not to know,� said James Shepherd, who founded the Shepherd Center. “At this point, it’s way too early to have a feel if it’s going well or if he’s getting anything back.

The whole community and the patients in chairs are just curious and banging on doors and saying, ‘Tell us what’s happening.’�

Spinal cord injury experts stress that patients such as Atchison can regain some sensation and movement on their own, and that it is simply impossible to know whether the cells are helping based on a single subject. Advocates for spinal cord injury patients, while thrilled by the study, worry about raising false hope. “I caution people: Don’t expect miracles that these patients are going to automatically jump out of their wheelchairs and run all over the place,� said Daniel Heumann, who is on the board of the Christopher and Dana Reeve Foundation. (Atchison’s accident occurred on the birthday of Reeve, the actor who was paralyzed in a horseback riding accident and advocated for stem cell research.)

In the meantime, Atchison has learned to drive a car he can operate with his hands and has resumed turkey hunting and fishing. He plans to return to school in August. “I pray about it every night. I think I’ll be able to walk again. I think it will help me. I’ll keep riding my bike and exercising, and one day I’ll be able to walk again,� he said. “You want to let the stem cells see what they can do.�

Doctors injected 2 million cells made from human embryonic stem cells into Atchison’s spinal column at the site of the injury. These cells normally mature into oligodendrocytes, which may promote new growth of nerve fibers, replace lost myelin and restore some of the nervous system’s ability to communicate.

SALEM — A page handed Rep. Gene Whisnant a handwritten note during a House floor session this week.

The Republican lawmaker from Sunriver unfolded the paper. It read, “Are we getting closer?”

The message was from Jim Myron, a lobbyist for WaterWatch, a nonprofit that aims to protect Oregon’s rivers, who was asking the lawmaker about a bill that would renew the program aimed at protecting the water flow in the Deschutes River.

Whisnant declared early

On Wednesday, Central Oregon Community College’s board of directors approved the student government’s amended constitution. The ratification brought to an end a monthslong process that heightened tensions between college administrators and the Associated Students of Central Oregon Community College and resulted in at least $27,000 in student fees being paid to a local attorney and public relations consultant.

on in the session that ensuring the bill passes would be his priority.

The Deschutes Groundwater Mitigation Program is set to expire in 2014. Whisnant wants to keep the program in place indefinitely.

The goal of the program is to ensure that when water is pumped out of the basin, enough water is also being pumped back in to offset the use and maintain flows.

Whisnant said the program is working. He maintains it’s protecting the river and giving locals the certainty they need to grow their businesses and continue developing.

• ASCOCC expands its newsletter, Page B3 The contentious process, which stemmed from the lack of policy regarding student government’s existence, may be complete, but that doesn’t mean all is well on campus. Student support of the constitution was tepid at best, and ASCOCC members remain frustrated by

the student newspaper’s continued interest in their operations and, according to e-mails, the perceived lack of administrative support for the final product.

On April 6, nearly a month after the student government and COCC administrators came to an agreement, an e-mail exchange between ASCOCC attorney Greg Lynch and ASCOCC Marketing Coordinator Brenda Pierce demonstrates the student government’s continued frustration.

EVASIVE MANEUVERS

One hospitalized in Highway 97 crash One of two drivers involved in a crash on U.S. Highway 97 on Friday evening was hospitalized with life-threatening injuries, Bend police said.

Travis Paul Bellamy, 27, of Lexington, was eastbound on Grandview Avenue shortly before 5 p.m. when he entered the southbound lanes going the wrong direction.

Bellamy jumped the median, crossing into the northbound lanes of the highway, then jumped the median again and came back to the southbound lanes, where he was struck by a vehicle driven

by Dean Muir Kroh, 47, of Bend.

Bellamy had to be extricated from his vehicle before being taken to St. Charles Bend, while Kroh was not injured.

Bellamy was listed in critical condition as of Saturday night.

One lane of the highway was blocked for approximately two hours.

Man with shotgun arrested in Bend An armed man was taken into custody at a northeast Bend apartment complex by Bend Police on Friday afternoon.

Austin Michael Supica, 25, of Bend, was visiting a friend at the apartment complex when he armed himself with a shotgun and made remarks claiming people were “out to get him,” police said.

Troubled by Supica’s behavior, the residents of the apartment left and contacted police.

Police evacuated surrounding apartments and contacted Supica by phone.

He was arrested and jailed on a probation violation and on suspicion of being a felon in possession of a firearm.

Washington Week Just one week after Congress reached an 11thhour compromise that avoided a partial shutdown of federal agencies, Washington, D.C. remained a fractious place.

The Republican-dominated House on Friday approved a 2012 budget on a largely party-line vote, 235-193, mandating $5.8 trillion in cuts over the next 10 years. Republicans said the budget plan struck a blow for deficit reduction, while Democrats criticized its tax cuts for the wealthy and corporations, and its impact on Medicare. According to the Congressional Budget Office, the plan to restructure Medicare could lead to less benefits for the elderly at greater cost.

The fiscal blueprint was drafted by Rep. Paul D. Ryan, R-Wis., chairman of the Budget Committee. The vote represents the most ambitious effort yet by the new Republican majority in the House to demonstrate that it intends to aggressively rein in spending and shrink government. It doubles as a challenge to President Obama over which party is more determined to force a shift in the handling of federal dollars.

Here’s how Oregon’s lawmakers voted last week.

Continued from B1

Continued from B1 But environmental advocates have concerns. For instance, they don’t want the bill approved without looking at the quality of water being pumped back in.

The program is based on a study showing that the basin’s ground and surface water are connected, so when groundwater levels go down, so do river levels.

Nearly halfway through the legislative session, are they getting closer to an agreement?

“What we have tentatively agreed to with Representative Whisnant is: We would support to remove the sunset as long as we had assurances that some of the unresolved issues over the program are adequately addressed over time,” Myron said.

But addressing the concerns, Whisnant said, would put a big price tag on the program, which would kill the bill.

“This has increased water flow in the Deschutes River three times over,” he said. “Without this, the river would be in worse shape.”

This session he’s narrowed his focus to talking to lawmakers about three main things. The first is reform to the Public Employees Retirement System. On that topic, he’s urging lawmakers to limit the rate increase this biennium and to make the employee contribution optional rather than mandatory. He is also advocating for a change in legislation that would allow school districts to opt out of the state’s Oregon Education Benefits Board insurance.

And in light of the K-12 budget being passed by both the House and Senate this past week, Wilkinson is still hoping lawmakers agree to dip further into the Education Stability Fund to help fund schools.

Groundwork

Ahead

The Deschutes Water Mitigation Program started eight years ago when cities were facing a growth moratorium because of the amount of groundwater being pumped from the Deschutes River Basin.

The program is aimed at not only protecting the river’s flows but also giving cities and developers a sense of certainty that water will be available as the region grows. To drill a new well, cities or developers or anyone who uses a certain amount of water must buy or lease water rights, which often come from a farmer.

Patrick Griffiths, water resource coordinator with the city of Bend, told lawmakers this week that this is a “critical program to all the other things we’re doing in the basin.”

Griffiths said the region needs this program to work. It provides certainty not only for cities, but also for local businesses like breweries that would like to grow.

“We’re going to roll up our sleeves and continue to work with the (Water Resource) Department and any stakeholders willing to do that with us,” he said.

So far, the stakeholders have reached consensus on a few of the earlier sticking points. Initially, the bill would have eliminated a cap that would limit new pumping rights to 200 cubic feet per second. One cfs is about 450 gallons a minute. Whisnant said he has agreed to keep the cap in place.

Another change is a clause of the bill that would have allocated $2.5 million to the program. Tod Heisler, executive director of the Deschutes River Conservancy, which plays an important part in tracking the water rights, said earlier he was looking forward to having the funds to create new pumping rights.

But during a session in which lawmakers are battling over an

approximate $3.1 billion budget shortfall, Whisnant thought attaching a price tag to the bill would kill it.

Whisnant said he’s also agreed to add language to the bill that would ensure that the program is reviewed every five years to make certain the outcomes are good and, if not, allow for changes.

Now what?

Whisnant is worried what WaterWatch is pushing would end the bill, “and I don’t think that’s what anyone wants. This is a very important bill for Central Oregon.

We need this bill. Central Oregon needs this bill ... My role is to facilitate a good bill, good policy, that won’t cost the citizens of Oregon more money, but protect the safety of the river.”

But the environmental advocacy groups point out there is still time to come to a consensus before the program expires.

A fiscal impact statement has not been done on the bill.

Myron, on behalf of WaterWatch, said a 2009 report from the Water Resource Department pointed out concerns that his group would like to see addressed.

The current mitigation program, Myron said, has not been operating long enough to know what the long-term results will be.

One issue, he said, is what’s known as “zones of impact.”

“In other words, if you are drilling a well that is going to cause surface water impact in a particular area, do you mitigate in the same zone of impact or mitigate somewhere else in the basin?” he said.

The report also touches on the issue of water quality, which his group also wants to examine as part of continuing the mitigation

program. Depending on where the water is being taken out and what kind of water is being put back in, the temperature could be quite different. If cold water is being pumped out and warmer water is being put back in, that could detrimentally impact the river and fish.

The timing is also important, Myron said.

“When do you mitigate? Does it need to be mitigated bucket for bucket? At the same time? If you’re drawing water out for irrigation during June, July, August, do you mitigate somewhere in those same months or do you mitigate in other months in the year? ... We would like to see some long-term answers as part of this agreement,” Myron said.

“At least a commitment to try and resolve those questions.”

Myron said it’s not his group’s intent to kill the bill but instead nail down some assurances before giving it the rubber stamp.

He said there is time to get the bill right before the program is set to sunset.

Jonathan Manton, a lobbyist on behalf of Friends of the Metolius, said it doesn’t make sense to ignore the problems that have been identified.

“We’re concerned if we extend the sunset without addressing zone of impacts, we’re looking at negative impacts on the Metolius ... No one I’ve spoken with wants to see the mitigation program end,” he said.

But he told lawmakers, without addressing the issues, they would just be “kicking the ball down the road.”

Lawmakers are scheduled to tackle the bill in a work session this coming week.

Constitution Continued from B1 After an editorial appeared in The Broadside, the student newspaper, regarding ASCOCC’s constitution, Pierce asked Lynch and their public relations consultant, India Simmons: “Is it too much to ask that this administration show some, any, show of support for ASCOCC? They continue to look the other way when things like this come out.”

Pierce wrote in the e-mail that not opposing the editorial was akin to supporting it.

Lynch forwarded the exchange to President Jim Middleton, as well as COCC’s attorney, Ed Fitch, to ask for some support.

The Broadside has taken great interest in the issue.

Since ASCOCC lawyered up in October, it has written more than a dozen editorials and articles on the student government. ASCOCC members have routinely asked for corrections or retractions and expressed frustration with the paper’s focus.

‘Take a deep breath’ While the college hasn’t written any defense of the process or the student government in The Broadside, Dean of Student and Enrollment Services Alicia Moore said the administration is pleased with the work that has been done.

“The administration is absolutely supportive of student government, and their right to have that leadership capacity and opportunity,” she said.

And Middleton agreed.

“I think everyone needs to just take a deep breath, I’ve been trying to say look forward rather than look back,” he said. “We can put a lot of energy into analyzing and justifying or blaming, and the most important thing is looking forward. I think we all need to recognize that not everyone agrees with everything the college does or the newspaper does or the student government does, and part of that interplay of response and criticism is part of what public life is. ... We don’t see our role as defending The Broadside or the students.”

Attorney hired The issue started in October, when ASCOCC hired Lynch to represent the group in negotiating the constitution changes with the college. COCC has had a student government since at least the 1950s and a student fee that ASCOCC oversees since 1993, but no formal policy was ever put in place.

ASCOCC spent at least $18,000 in attorneys fees and nearly $9,000 for a public relations specialist, paid for out of student fees.

The amended constitution features several oversight committees, and an increase in the minimum grade-point average for ASCOCC officers, as well as an increase in the number of credits ASCOCC members must take each term. Officers will now have three-year term limits, although current ASCOCC council members who have served three years will be allowed to serve one more.

When the amended constitution was released in March, students were given the opportunity to recommend the constitution to the board for approval.

According to a news release, 284 students voted in favor of recommending the ASCOCC constitution to the board, 64 voted not to recommend it,

and one student provided no answer. In all, 349 students — representing a mere 5 percent of the student body — voted on whether to recommend the constitution. Enrollment reports show that 7,061 students took at least one credit course in the fall.

Vote promotion Pierce isn’t pleased by the low turnout and believes a lack of advertising is to blame for so few voters.

“There wasn’t a lot of information that was put up around campus. I saw one banner,” she said. “A flier went around on campus, too. So we were disappointed with the level of turnout, and we had hoped there would have been more after all the work that went into it. We’d hoped that the actual election had more advertising.”

Moore said the college did a great deal to promote the vote. The college sent a direct e-mail to all COCC students, placed an announcement in the students’ electronic newsletter and posted the vote to an online course management program, which all students must access during the first two weeks of a new term. She said the college also conducted general advertising of the election as well.

“I believe we did an extensive job promoting this election,” she said, noting that many students may have been indifferent because the election didn’t involve voting for new officers.

When ASCOCC first brought its new constitution to the students in 2010, Pierce said about three times more students voted than did in this latest election.

“It was an awful lot of work that was put into it, and it just seemed like there would have been more at the end,” Pierce said. “We spent all this time and we finally got to the final product, here it is for students, and we weren’t included on the advertising campaign.”

A moot process?

ASCOCC Legislative Coordinator Terry Link is pleased the election was successful, but worries few students knew about the process. That low voter turnout, he said, could in some people’s minds make moot the process ASCOCC and administrators went through.

“I’m personally disappointed there weren’t more students involved or aware of the process,” he said.

Moore doesn’t think the low turnout should make students question the work put in by ASCOCC and college staff in the process.

“I don’t think that should shed any doubt on the quality of product we have,” she said.

“Our constitution aligns similarly to constitutions from not only across the state but across the country. ... It’s a good product, and I don’t think the poor voter turnout should reflect negatively on it.”

Now that the constitution has been ratified by the board, Moore said a working group will meet with ASCOCC to ensure they’re aware of all fiscal policies and practices. Next year, an advisory committee will work to define its roles, then develop the roles of the budget committee.

“There are a lot of follow-up pieces that will take place with the advisory committee next year,” Moore said.

ASSOCIATED STUDENTS OF COCC

A ‘two newspaper’ campus College’s student government expands its newsletter into a newsmagazine

By Sheila G. Miller The Bulletin

In the wake of strained relations between Central Oregon Community College’s student newspaper and student government, the Associated Students of COCC has tweaked its monthly newsletter, turning it into a twicemonthly newsmagazine that sells advertising and produces content by student reporters.

The reconfigured Voice, which was launched during the 2009-10 school year, will help turn COCC and the Oregon State UniversityCascades Campus into a “twonewspaper town,” according to an ASCOCC news release.

It will feature 11 student staffers, and its tagline has changed from “The Voice of ASCOCC” to “The Voice of COCC Students.”

ASCOCC Marketing Coordinator Brenda Pierce said the newsletter format was not enough to provide all the club and ASCOCC information.

“We quickly realized (a newsletter) was not going to cut it,” she said.

In February, Pierce put out the call for reporters, and the first bimonthly newsmagazine came out Wednesday.

It cost about $1,200 to produce 500 copies of Wednesday’s edition. In addition, reporters each make $200 a month for two stories in each issue. The Voice will have a publication board and is currently funded within ASCOCC’s budget. ASCOCC doles out student fees to clubs and programs around the 7,000-student campus, and next year The Voice is expected to be an independent item in that budget.

In the April 10 edition of The Voice, Pierce wrote in a foreword that ASCOCC has expanded The Voice to allow students to express views in a second publication on campus. In its first issue as an expanded newsmagazine, The Voice did not publish any editorials.

“COCC is thriving more than ever with new students, new buildings and new campuses.

We need a publication with the strength to meet those demands,” Pierce wrote. “The Voice is expanding in order to incorporate the views of students.”

Pierce said ASCOCC didn’t convert The Voice to a news publication in an effort to compete with the campus newspaper, The Broadside.

“I don’t think we’re competing with The Broadside. It covers activities after they’ve happened on campus, and the main reason we started The Voice over a year ago was so we would have something that allowed clubs and programs to advertise for free,” she said.

Not in response And she insisted The Voice wasn’t ramped up because of The Broadside’s many articles and editorials on the student government this year.

“Absolutely not. If we wanted to do that, we wouldn’t have started The Voice in February of last year,” Pierce said. “It is a different direction we’re taking with the magazine.”

The Broadside publishes at least 25 issues per year and has a circulation of about 2,500. It relies on advertising sales to pay for part of its production, while it also receives funds from ASCOCC. Broadside Editor-in-Chief Kir-

steen Wolf said The Voice has a place.

“The Broadside can only cover clubs and programs in a limited way, and so I think The Voice as a publication, as a newsletter, is valuable,” she said. “I think it’s entered into a different kind of arena, and we’re talking about a government-run publication.

That’s something that, I’m not sure, but I think it hasn’t crossed their minds that there could be ethical complications.”

Funding questions Wolf also worries about the expense of the publication.

“Is this a priority for students, that the government gets good press?” she asked.

“I think a lot of opposing voices can be voiced in The Broadside,” Wolf continued. “We’re perfectly capable of publishing a letter to the editor that disagrees with us. That’s the place for it. I do question The Voice and think it’s something that should be looked into.”

Wolf is not the only one questioning publications; e-mails show ASCOCC members have questioned The Broadside’s funding and fairness over the past six months.

In October, e-mails between ASCOCC members and their public relations consultant, India Simmons, show the student government was interested in more information about how The Broadside spent its $38,000 in student fees.

“In the last couple of years, we have approved a dollar amount for the year and have not received any further information.

We want to know that what is approved is being spent in the areas it is approved for,” Pierce wrote in an e-mail to Simmons, noting The Broadside often runs out of money during spring term and asks for more.

To that end, Pierce wrote up a memo and sent it to Simmons for input. The memo asked The Broadside staff for details on

Then in November, ASCOCC’s legislative coordinator, Terry Link, e-mailed Student Activities Coordinator Taran Underdal about the legality of cutting funding to The Broadside. Underdal wrote that a couple of students had asked in an ASCOCC meeting about the idea of withdrawing student fee funding from the college newspaper, but that it likely wouldn’t work.

“It does not appear that there is a means for students to vote to eliminate funding for a student organization, nor does the College advise that ASCOCC consider such action,” Underdal wrote.

“The Broadside is a long-standing student organization and was provided a budget for the 20102011 academic year based on a decision by last year’s student government; this commitment needs to be honored.”

Link forwarded Underdal’s response to ASCOCC attorney Greg Lynch and Simmons with comments.

tails on a new salaried position, Link wrote an e-mail to Lynch, Pierce and Simmons suggesting the student government create an amendment that would require all clubs receiving funding from ASCOCC to be as transparent with its funds as ASCOCC was expected to be. And by Feb. 6, the group had begun considering a new version of The Voice, with Pierce sending a rough draft of the plan to Link and Simmons for review. The rough draft was not included in e-mails provided to The Bulletin.

Pierce approached Student Life Director Gordon Price about writing a supporting statement for The Voice; in an e-mail, Price demurred.

“I do have some concerns as to the current direction of the Voice, which is different than what it came up as originally,” he wrote.

But Pierce said she’s gotten good feedback on the newsmagazine, and on Thursday only had about 50 copies remaining.

Groups threaten suit over Sandy River hatchery Conservationists say facility threatens waterway’s already thin wild fish runs

By Scott Learn The Oregonian

SANDY — A 59-year-old hatchery 20 miles from downtown Portland has jumped to the center of the Northwest’s salmon debate, with fish advocates saying the hatchery threatens the Sandy River’s thin runs of wild fish.

The Sandy Hatchery is part of a sprawling Northwest hatchery system that aims to compensate for damage to fish runs from dams in the Columbia River basin, where taxpayers and fishing license holders pay upward of $80 million a year to support hatcheries.

In Oregon alone, 32 hatcheries released nearly 39 million juvenile salmon and steelhead last year, a torrent of fish that supplies commercial fishermen and sports anglers when adults return from the ocean.

After more than three decades of hatchery debate, Pacific Rivers Council and the Native Fish Society upped the ante this week by singling out the Sandy Hatchery.

The groups filed a 60-day notice of intent to sue the Oregon Department of Fish and Wildlife and the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration over the hatchery’s impacts on wild fish and delays in reviewing those impacts.

NOAA already says it will accelerate review of the hatchery at Oregon’s request, making it the first to get full scrutiny under updated standards.

The Sandy River is a prime spot to recover wild runs listed under the Endangered Species Act and to make sure the latest science on hatcheries gets applied, said John Kober, Pacific Rivers Council’s executive director.

2 dams removed Since 2007, two dams have come down in the Sandy basin, including the Marmot Dam on the Sandy’s main stem, giving fish free passage to some 100 miles of streams.

Ratepayers in the city of Portland, which dammed a Sandy tributary, the Bull Run River, to create the city’s drinking water reservoirs, are helping pay for $100 million of ongoing Sandy River restoration.

“We’ve addressed a lot of issues on the Sandy,” Kober says.

“If we address hatcheries, we can recover wild fish and get them off the endangered species list.”

By using eggs from wild fish, hatcheries helped keep wild Snake River sockeye and chinook populations in northeast Oregon going when their numbers dipped dangerously low.

But without proper safe-

guards, returning hatchery fish can “stray” to wild spawning grounds and breed with wild fish, weakening productivity, numerous studies indicate.

They also compete with wild fish for food and space.

In 2009, a scientific review group for NOAA concluded that hatchery fish have lower survival rates and are less successful reproducing than wild fish.

Natural spawning of hatchery fish “clearly poses genetic risk to natural populations,” the group said, as fish fed by humans and raised absent predators bypass the rigors of natural selection.

Fish and Wildlife officials have improved Sandy Hatchery to reduce those impacts. The hatchery produced 1 million smolts in 2010, including coho, spring chinook and steelhead.

They now mix wild fish into much of the hatchery stock, in part to reduce genetic harm if the fish do stray. They reduced releases of spring chinook, the species most likely to stray.

Attuning fish They built an “acclimation pond” to try to better attune hatchery fish to their home base. This spring they’re putting traps at strategic points in the Sandy River to keep hatchery fish away from wild spawning grounds.

Oregon has moved aggressively on hatchery reforms, said Liz Hamilton, executive director of the Northwest Sportfishing Industry Association.

“Some people really do know how to snatch defeat from the jaws of victory,” Hamilton said.

“Is this really the best place for us all to have a battle?”

The Sandy River’s fishing guides see the hatchery’s results firsthand. They also help frame the debate.

Jack Glass, 55, has guided on the Sandy for 28 years, catching spring chinook but mostly focusing on hard-fighting winter steelhead.

Glass’ fear: Pressure on the hatchery, combined with tighter budgets, will further reduce releases and cut fishing even more. Given limited habitat, he says, the wild fish “won’t return in sustainable numbers that would allow any kind of harvest fishery.”

“We’re OK with catch and release of wild fish, but we want to have the opportunity to retain a few hatchery fish — that drives the industry,” Glass says.

Anglers are required to release wild fish. Within limits, they can keep hatchery fish — distinguished by a clipped adipose fin.

Study: Young Oregonians voted big time in 2010 The Associated Press PORTLAND — An academic study says Oregon had the nation’s highest turnout rate of voters under 30 years old last year, The Oregonian newspaper reports.

Since those voters skew Democratic, their relatively high turnout could have played a role in limiting Democratic losses in Oregon last year, the paper said.

The study came from the Center for Information & Research on Civic Learning and Engagement at Tufts University.

It calculated that 35.7 percent of the eligible voters younger than 30 in Oregon participated in last November’s elections, compared with 24 percent nationally.

The center said that exit polling showed younger voters nationally favored Democratic congressional candidates while older voters sided with Republicans.

Oregon’s turnout among eligible voters 30 and older was 61 percent, almost 10 percentage points above the

national average.

Oregon, which votes by mail, has long had one of the highest voter participation rates in the nation, and activist groups have stepped up voter registration efforts among young people.

Henry Kraemer of The Bus Project, a progressive group that works to register and organize young people, said the gap in turnout in Oregon between younger and older voters has narrowed significantly.

In 2006, he told The Oregonian, the gap in voting among the two age groups was about 10 percentage points greater than it was in 2010.

The Oregon Student Association and Our Oregon have also increased registration efforts among young people.

Republicans made major gains throughout the country in the last election but did less well in Oregon. They did pick up eight legislative seats but did not win any additional congressional seats. Democrat John Kitzhaber won by just 1.5 percentage points over Republican Chris Dudley.

Condon tries to woo retirees in1986 100 YEARS AGO For the week ending April 16, 1911 BEND COMPANY BEGINS WORK Thursday night A.O. Hunter arrived from Portland to take up active work here as head of the real estate department of the new Bend Company.

“We are not in a hurry to sell anything,” said Mr. Hunter yesterday. “On the contrary, we are content to go slow. Why? Just because we feel that in a way we’re losing money on what we sell now — It’ll be worth so much more in a few months. However, the chief reason I came in at once is to give local people first chance at everything.”

Mr. Hunter says the new company will inaugurate a vigorous publicity campaign. It is the intention to issue much advertising matter and to keep Bend in the public eye.

“We’ve cut prices considerably,” said Mr. Hunter. “In fact, a cut of probably $200,000 has been made from the total price of lots in Bend and our additions as scheduled by Frank Robertson, manager of the old Townsite Company.”

The progress made with the Bend-Burns road came in for a share of enthusiastic comment on the part of both Mr. Hunter and Mr. McKay. Both are agreed that the centering of this big Harney County importing and exporting business here, in addition to that which inevitably will come from the enormous territory to the south, will add a wonderful impetus to Bend’s development.

“Being terminus will help Bend immeasurably, bringing to it a tremendous business,” said Mr. Hunter. “But what is even more important is the character of the men now financially interested in the town. The fact that two of the largest timber companies operating in Central Oregon have a big interest in Bend alone is enough to assure a great future.”

DEPOT OF STONE That Bend is to have a stone railway depot constructed with the native brown or pink stone is now practically assured. The dimensions of the building will be 30 feet by 90 feet, a ticket office separating commodious men’s and women’s waiting rooms and a baggage and express room being at one end and a covered platform approach at the other. Chief Engineer Budd states such a structure will be erected provided the local stone meets requirements.

A team tract probably will be constructed immediately west of the depot, for loading and unloading cars directly from and into wagons. On the east, the depot platform will face the main track east of which will be a passing track upon which will be constructed the forwarding warehouse of the Jones Warehouse Company, almost opposite to the depot. The dimensions of this building probably will be 200 feet by 50 feet.

75 YEARS AGO For the week ending April 16, 1936 FIND MUMMY OF PRINCESS Cairo, Egypt — The well-preserved body of an Egyptian princess, who is estimated to have lived more than 2,000 years before King Tut Ankh-Amen, has been discovered in the Giza pyramids, Professor Selim Hassan announced today.

The body was covered with gold. The princess was believed to have died about 3,600 B.C., and to have been the daughter of Pharaoh Chephren, builder of the second highest pyramid.

The body was intact. It was plastered with gold ornaments.

The mud of the Nile had seeped into the tomb, covered the body and preserved it through the thousands of years. The face and jaw were especially well preserved.

The body of the princess was reclining sideways. Around the neck were three threads of gold. Another gold necklace with two gold weights was found on the ground, apparently having dropped from the body. The headdress was of plain gold with streamers of copper and gold. A bracelet of thin gold was on each arm and a girdle of copper covered with gold leaf around the waist.

Despite its excellent condition, the mummy was extremely fragile and was being handled with the utmost caution. The find was considered the most important since the discovery of Tut Ankh-Amen, whose mummy was 3,250 years old. Chephren was the brother of Cheops, builder of the great pyramid, and succeeded him. Herodotus records that during the reigns of the two brothers, the Egyptians suffered miserably so that they could build the vast pyramids, which were to be the kings’ tombs.

Cheops closed the temples

Y E S T E R D AY and made all the Egyptians labor on his monument, working in relays of 100,000 men every three months. He even sacrificed the honor of his daughter to get money. The princess built herself a small pyramid of stones given to her by her lovers.

YOUNG SKIERS INVITED TO MT. HOOD TOURNAMENT Bert Hagen and Herbert Francis, members of the Lava Bear ski team that took first places at the recent junior tournament at Mount Hood, are two of a group of 10 Oregon high school boys invited by the Portland Winter Sports association. The Bend boys have been asked to compete in downhill racing.

The invitation to the young Skyliners was submitted by the Portland Winter Sports association through Jere Gillis, Skyliner president.

50 YEARS AGO For the week ending April 16, 1961 LIBRARY HAS TIMELY CIVIL WAR DISPLAY There’s a special display at the Deschutes County Library that is of timely significance. Why? One hundred years ago today, the Confederate soldiers opened fire on Fort Sumter. Two days later, Major Robert Anderson’s determined Federal contingent defending the fort was forced to surrender to General P.G.T. Beauregard. It was a black day for the North. The South was in the saddle. With the news of the attack and surrender, the country received President Lincoln’s proclamation calling for 75,000 volunteers and summoning Congress to meet on the Fourth of July. That long and tragic struggle, the War Between the States, was on.

On April 8, President Jefferson Davis had called for 20,000 Confederate volunteers, and the day following President Lincoln’s proclamation he asked for 34,000.

The stories of the battles, the jubilation, the heartbreak, are for the history books. The war was over on April 26, 1865, but small independent forces were in the field for a short time afterward. Final blow to the South was the capture of Jefferson Davis on May 10, 1865.

All through the South, and in the North as well, the centennial of the Civil War is being observed. It is not a victory celebration. It is a memorial to the grief of both sides of the divided house. The South has never conceded defeat.

In some places in the South today, the Confederate flag will be hoisted, one would guess. And collectors will count their Confederate money. And Southerners will drink mint juleps.

In Bend, library patrons will take a look at a case in the Benson Wing. Treasured volumes may be examined with permission from the main desk. Guns from the Mitchell collection, given to the library by an early-day Presbyterian minister, are on display.

One which closely resembles the bayonets in an accompanying picture of the Battle of Gettysburg, July 30, 1863, bears a tag reading: “Made in US Arsenal Harper’s Ferry, Virginia, 1844 and 1845 — .58 Cal. Muzzle Loading.”

Among the old books featured in the display are “The Grant and Lee Edition of the Battles of the Civil War” and Harper’s “Pictorial History of the Great Rebellion.”

Library staff members are

working the Civil War material into bibliographic form. Gun fanciers are being asked for help identifying the various firearms in the Mitchell collection, some of which go back to the days of the fur traders. And perhaps the collection, and the particular significance of today, will inspire library patrons to delve into the archives and make a study of the Civil War. North and South alike still take pride in the exploits of such heroes as General U.S. Grant and his valiant, but sometimes rag-tag troops, and of General Robert E. Lee and his magnificent Virginia fighting machine.

25 YEARS AGO For the week ending April 16, 1986 CONDON SEEKS NEW RESIDENTS Wanted: A few good Los Angeles-area residents to live in a small Eastern Oregon town that offers safe streets, country hospitality, and a slower pace of life.

Despite a sagging farm economy that has left numerous vacant houses, the merchants of Condon think their tiny community 130 miles east of Portland has a lot to offer, especially for retired people who may want to get away from the hustle and bustle.

So they spent $100 for an ad in the Sunday Los Angeles Times real estate section.

“Upbeat eastern Oregon community is looking for a few good residents. Safety, inexpensive housing, good schools and services, recreation opportunities,” the ad said. “For information call city recorder, Condon, Oregon.

City Recorder Bonnie P. Sagers, who also serves as municipal judge, city administrator, city budget officer, treasurer and plan-

ning director, said her telephone number was given because she is Condon’s only full-time public employee. She is also vice president of the Chamber of Commerce, which placed the ad.

Condon lies in the middle of north-central Oregon wheat, barley and cattle country. It has a population of 720, down from the 783 in the 1980 census. Despite its small population, it is the largest town in 1,223-square-mile Gilliam County, which has only 1,900 people. The town has a halfmillion-dollar state grant to build new sidewalks, sewer lines and a face-lift. Once the work is done, Condon will have everything a person could want, said Sager.

“We have two grocery stores,” she said. “We have a hardware store. A Sears catalog outlet, a drug store and a couple of dry goods stores.” There is a golf course, a park, good hunting and fishing nearby, and cable television.”

She also said the town is “a safe, safe place to live.”

Mac Spinchfield, editor of the Times Journal, said the town is interested in retired residents because it wouldn’t have to develop extensive new services. But others are welcome, too.

“The reason we went to Southern California is because some folks from there recently moved here. We figured there were probably more looking for the same kind of opportunity” said the editor, who helped develop the ad.

Sagers said, “We’ve had several calls about the ad from the Los Angeles area, people who were curious about the ad. I don’t know anybody who has bought yet.”

By Dennis McLellan Los Angeles Times

Violet Cowden never lost her love of flying, a passion born when she was a young girl envying the hawks soaring above her family’s South Dakota farm in the 1920s.

When she was a young firstgrade teacher learning to fly out of an airfield in Spearfish, S.D., in the early 1940s, her students always knew when she had been flying because she was so happy.

Her love of flying only increased when she joined the Women Airforce Service Pilots (WASP) during World War II. And although her career as a pilot ended after her wartime service, her enthusiasm for flying never let up.

Indeed, Cowden gleefully copiloted a World War II-era P-51 Mustang with dual controls and flew from San Bernardino to Orange County last year when she was 93.

As she put it in a 2010 documentary about her life in the sky: “I always say the worst thing about flying is coming back to earth. That’s the hardest thing for me. I would stay up, I would — but you do run out of gas.”

Cowden, a former president of the WASP veterans organization whose experiences and indomitable spirit inspired later generations of female pilots, died April 10 of congestive heart failure at Hoag Memorial Hospital Presbyterian in Newport Beach, Calif., said her daughter, Kim Ruiz. She was 94.

Cowden was 26 when she earned her WASP silver wings in 1943.

“I joined because of love for the country,” she told the Los Angeles Times in 1993, “and I thought maybe I could contribute something to the war effort.”

Of the 25,000 women who applied for the WASP training program, 1,830 were accepted and

1,074 graduated.

As civilian pilots under contract to the military, the WASP fliers freed up male pilots for combat missions.

Members ferried pursuit aircraft (fighters), bombers and transport planes from factories to military bases and points of embarkation within the United States — and performed other duties, such as towing targets for anti-aircraft gunnery practice and flying as engineering test pilots.

Cowden flew 19 different types of aircraft, including fighters.

The P-51 Mustang was her favorite, she said in the 1993 Times interview.

Once, she recalled, she got a P-51 up to more than 400 mph when she raced a Navy pilot from Columbus, Ohio, to Newark, N.J. “I just stayed ahead of him all the way,” she said.

Cowden also delivered the first P-51 to the Tuskegee Airmen, the nation’s first black military air unit.

The dangerous work of the WASP — 38 pilots died during training and on active duty — wasn’t always appreciated.

“I landed an AT-6 in Kansas City,” Cowden recalled in a 2010 interview with The Orange County Register.

“The commanding officer at the field heard that a woman had flown it in and wouldn’t accept it. I just ignored it. That’s all you can do.”

Cowden later figured she logged enough miles to have flown around the world 55 times during her wartime service.

One of the saddest days of her life, she said in the 1993 Times interview, was when the WASP was deactivated in December 1944.

“The war was winding down, and the men were coming back and wanted their jobs back,” she said. “I felt a lot of resentment.”

We thought of you with love today on your 58th birthday. We thought about you yesterday and the days before that too. You’re forever in our hearts ... for nothing loved is ever lost and you were loved so much.

Happy Birthday Connie!

Love Mom, Lynn, Nancy, Michael, Richard, Stephen, Maynard Jr., Starla, Dad, Panzy, Jim, Jacob, Ryan and grandchildren; Skyler, Tarrak, Cheyenne, Austin and Parker

Carol Lee Masoner September 28, 1935 - April 5, 2011 Carol Lee Masoner, age 75, mother and grandmother, died suddenly at their home in Terrebonne, OR on April 5, 2011.

Carol was born on September 28, 1935 in Three Lakes, WI to the late Leonard Clark Stoneking and Cecil Weeks. She attended Three Lakes High School, graduating in 1953. After high school, Carol attended college in Kansas City, KS, receiving a degree in Medical Technology. While working in Kansas City, Carol met Morgan E. Masoner. They were married on September 3, 1960.

In 1963, Carol and Morgan adopted a baby girl. They moved to Los Angeles, where she gave birth to three sons, worked and raised her family. In December, 1974, Carol became a single mother of four young children with the passing of her husband, Morgan. Carol took on the hardships of being a single mother, while working to support and raise her family. She relocated to Three Lakes, WI, only to return to Southern California a year later.

With her children grown, Carol retired in 1991 after working for 20 years at Pomona Valley Hospital in Pomona, CA. She traveled for a while, eventually settling in Terrebonne, OR, where she lived for 19 years until her passing. Carol continued to work into her 70s as a traveling Medical Technologist, working in such places as Kemmerer, WY, Portola, CA and Dutch Harbor, AK. Carol loved to travel, traveling all over the United States and abroad to such countries as Germany, New Zealand and Fiji. But her true love was Australia. She traveled to Australia as many as six times, sometimes for months at a time.

Some of Carol’s greatest accomplishments were being a certified Medical Technologist for over 50 years. She loved to read and collect magnets and postcards from her many travels. She also loved to research her families genealogy.

Carol is preceded in death by her sister, Velma Stoneking; brother, Harry Stoneking; and son, Roy Thomas Masoner. She is survived by her brothers Jim and Doug Stoneking of Reedsport and Aloha, OR; sister, Sally Corriveau of Medford, OR; and sister Cecila Metzger of Chicago, IL; daughter and son-in-law Kristy and Darin Glinski of Oxnard, CA; son and daughter-in-law David and Amanda Masoner of Salem, OR; son and daughter-in-law Mike and Karen Masoner of Virginia Beach, VA; and eight grandchildren, Nick, Mason, Devon, Morgan, Alivia, Bailey, Brooke, and Jacob.

As per Carol’s wishes, she is to be cremated. A celebration of her life is being scheduled for sometime in August, 2011. Please sign the online guestbook at www.redmondmemorial.com

Billy Bang, 63, violinist moved by Vietnam War

By Steve Smith New York Times News Service

Billy Bang, a violinist whose gritty, expressive and spirited playing earned admiration in contemporary jazz circles, died Monday at his home in Harlem.

He was 63.

The cause was complications of lung cancer, said Jean-Pierre Leduc, his friend and agent.

Prominent as a bandleader and a sideman throughout the 1980s and ’90s, Bang achieved his most success with the 2001 album “Vietnam: The Aftermath,” which featured music inspired by his time serving in the Army during the Vietnam War, played with peers who had also served. The album — and a 2005 sequel, “Vietnam: Reflections,” which included Vietnamese musicians — in turn inspired “Redemption Song,” a 2008 documentary film about him.

Born William Vincent Walker in Mobile, Ala., on Sept. 20, 1947, Bang moved with his mother to Harlem as an infant. He studied violin in school and took up drums and flute independently.

He briefly attended the exclusive Stockbridge prep school in Massachusetts with no music curriculum, then dropped out, moved to the Bronx and was drafted into the Army and sent to Vietnam.

After a struggle with alcohol and drugs on his return to America in the late 1960s, which he recounted in his liner notes for “Vietnam: The Aftermath,” Bang identified the free-jazz scene created by players like John Coltrane and Ornette Coleman as a means for addressing issues of race and social justice. Taking up the violin again, he studied with the prominent avant-garde jazz violinist Leroy Jenkins, and became immersed in the 1970s downtown loft-jazz ferment.

Bill’s time on this earth ended peacefully on April 11, 2011, after living for 14 years with Parkinson’s Disease, managing it with determination, grace and his trademark sense of humor. Bill was born in Portland, Oregon on December 5, 1935, and, by his telling, mastered the Portland Metro bus system by age five riding from northeast Portland to the waterfront where his father worked. His family soon moved to Banks, Oregon, where Bill spent his youth with brothers, Jack and Jim, milking cows and having more fun in his high school years than his mother would have cared to admit. He graduated from Banks High School in 1954 and left for Corvallis where he attended Oregon State University, graduating in 1960 with a degree in civil and forestry engineering.

Bill married Donna Long in 1955, and worked for her father in the logging business for several years before starting the first of his many entrepreneurial ventures. Armed with his professional civil engineering and land surveyor licenses, he and three partners started Green Empire, an engineering company in Corvallis. In 1969, Bill and his family moved to Redmond, Oregon, where he teamed up with Jim Bussard and formed Century West Engineering. During the next 13 years at Century West, Bill was instrumental in the development of the Redmond Airport Master Plan as well as engineering and construction management of Black Butte Ranch. During this time, Bill and Donna raised four children; Steve, Mike, Amy and Jay, and enjoyed many life experiences and travel adventures together.

Fueled by a burning desire to bring his vision of a resort to life, Bill worked tirelessly to create Eagle Crest Resort, succeeding in 1985, at a time when the economy was struggling. Most people scoffed at his idea to build such a large resort, especially a resort featuring timeshare. Under Bill’s amazing leadership and with the support of JELD-WEN, Eagle Crest became the first of many resort communities that Bill took from the drawing board to reality. On a recent drive through Eagle Crest on a beautiful sunny day, Bill remarked, “That was a fine job.” I think we would all agree.

Bill and Karen were married on January 6, 1986, on a sailboat in the San Diego harbor. Karen’s most treasured gift from Bill is their two children, Mark and Kari. Bill taught Karen to sail and to pilot their twinengine boat on many boating trips in the San Juan Islands and Canadian Gulf Islands. He shared so much knowledge with Mark and Kari about trees, the forest, crabbing and taught them what a shrimp really looks like before it is on the store shelf. They both graduated from Bill’s “dinghy operating school” with flying colors.

As Bill’s disease progressed, he made it a priority to travel, and together the family experienced Greece, Argentina, the Galapagos Islands, the Panama Canal, the beaches of Costa Rica, and many beautiful places on his last trip to New Zealand and Australia. Even more than the activities and adventures, however, Bill shared life lessons with his children. They treasure those lessons the most.

Besides enjoying his family and the challenges of entrepreneurial life, Bill liked to sail, run, ski, golf, watch sports, and travel. He was also an excellent pilot and loved to fly. Bill enjoyed good food, good wine, good friends, sharing stories and pulling his famous “one-liners”.

Bill passed away peacefully the morning of April 11, 2011, at the Hospice House in Bend surrounded by his loving family. He is survived by his wife, Karen Smith, son, Steven Lyche (Shannon) in Prineville, Oregon, son, Michael Lyche (Peggy) in Redmond, Oregon, daughter, Amy Lyche Moor (Tim) in Redmond, Oregon, son, Jay Lyche (Julie) in Bend, Oregon, son, Mark Lyche in Eugene, Oregon and daughter, Kari Lyche in Boulder, Colorado; brothers, Jack Lyche in Coos Bay, Oregon, and Jim Lyche, in Forest Grove, Oregon. In addition, he leaves nine grandchildren and six great-grandchildren behind to continue his legacy. We were blessed to have him in our lives.

The family would like to thank the caregivers at Cougar Springs Memory Care for their compassionate care, friendship and hard work; the nurses at St. Charles Hospital in Redmond for their respect and assistance as Bill started his final walk in Room 303, and to nurses and staff at the Partners In Care Hospice House for giving Bill dignity and guiding the family as he completed his journey in Suite 3. According to ancient wisdom, 3 is a complete cycle unto itself. It is past, present and future; birth, life and death.

A celebration of Bill’s life will be held on Monday, April 18th, at 3:33 p.m. at the Eagle Crest Conference Center, Eagle Crest Resort, Redmond, Oregon.

Fall freeze results in dead fruit trees for Oregon farmers

By Samantha Tipler T he E ast Oregonian

MILTON-FREEWATER — Last week, crop consultant Dennis Burks saw one Milton-Freewater area orchard come into bloom.

It is a welcome sight this time of year, but it didn’t last long.

As the temperatures rose, the flowers wilted. Even at just 70 degrees, Burks said, the petals crumpled as soon as he touched them.

The cause of such fragile flowers? Cold weather last fall and winter. Specifically a deep freeze Nov. 23, when temperatures dipped to minus 12 and minus 15 degrees.

“I’ve been farming for 25 years, and in 25 years I have not seen anything like this,” said Burks, who also consults for Blue Mountain Growers.

This week, the Umatilla County commissioners declared a state of emergency for fruit growers in the Milton-Freewater area.

The U.S. Department of Agriculture’s Farm Service Agency and Extension Service predicted high crop losses this year — as much as 80 percent loss for cherries, 40 percent loss for prunes and plums, and 30 percent loss for apples and wine grapes.

State of emergency The commissioners are asking the governor also to declare a state of emergency.

That declaration will help growers apply for government relief.

The Farm Service Agency also is helping orchards with the tree assistance program. It will help growers pay for replacing entire orchards killed by the cold.

“People will — not if, will — lose their livelihood over this,” Burks said.

The closest situation he knew of was in 1955, when his grandfather saw a minus 20 degree November freeze that killed every tree in the valley.

The 2010 freeze also is killing trees, but Burks and orchardists

in the area only are realizing it now.

As it comes time for the trees to bloom, they are watching closely. Those with few buds, or no buds, are in the danger zone.

Some have only small green leaves beginning to grow.

Others have no leaves at all.

Those are the ones that may not have made it.

Only by cutting into the tree can Burks find out. Brown wood means the tree is dead. Green wood means it is alive.

Stump orchards Burks and other growers cut into trees until they found the live green wood. Often this is only a foot or so above the ground.

Orchards are becoming rows of skinny stumps.

From those stumps, new shoots can eventually turn into branches. But those new branches won’t produce fruit for four or five years, Burks said.

In even worse situations, growers have to uproot the whole orchard and start anew.

“I lost two (apple) orchards — Galas and Fujis,” he said. “Every tree in the orchard is dead.”

Burks realized this earlier on, about a month ago. He ordered new trees right away and will replant one orchard next week.

Other growers weren’t so lucky. With all the trees killed, Burks said nurseries are backordered for three seasons.

The Nov. 23 freeze killed so many trees because it was early in the year, and it was well below freezing.

Temperatures ranged from zero to minus 15.

“That’s extreme,” Burks said.

“It’s abnormal for November.

Usually, it doesn’t get below zero in November.”

That early in the year, many trees have not gone dormant yet, leaving them vulnerable.

A flower-killing freeze will affect an orchard for one season of crops, while a tree-killing freeze will affect the orchard for four to five years.

Bend brothers fight for kings on the path to chess success

By David Jasper The Bulletin

A collection of glass floats at the Jennifer Sears Glass Art Studio shows the range of colors that drop-in students can add to their own creations.

By John Gottberg Anderson • For The Bulletin

o watch Kelly Howard at work is to behold an artist with an innate understanding of light and color — of form, design and texture.

Shortly after they began playing chess with their father a few years ago, Bend brothers Ethan and Trevor Allison got serious about competition.

Today, they’re climbing the competitive ranks in the state.

According to father Rex Allison, who was a serious player in college, the siblings began attending the Bend Chess Club’s weekly meetings two years ago and started competing in tournaments about a year ago.

“Ethan, as soon as he learned the game, I just knew he had that knack. Trevor is a good player; Ethan just has that natural ability,” he says.

They’re two of seven Allison siblings. Their sister Hannah, 14, competes in spelling bees, spending several hours per day practicing, according to Allison. In addition to chess, the two brothers like carpentry and tending to their 4-H animals.

Ethan, 11, also likes to target shoot and plays guitar and cello. Trevor, 10, wants to be a pilot when he grows up.

The two like chess because it’s competitive and requires skill, not size.

“They use computer programs to get better; they like the competition,” Allison said.

The co-owner of the Lincoln City Glass Center employs the ancient science of glass blowing to craft

items ranging from vases, bowls and goblets to whimsical glass sculptures and hanging ornaments.

A graduate of the Art Institute of Chicago, Howard offers her finished glass for sale in the Volta Gallery, across the street from the Jennifer Sears Glass Art Studio. Yet the opportunity to watch her work truly makes her craft come to life. Anyone who can start with a formless blob of superheated glass at the end of a steel pipe and somehow shape it into a thing of great beauty must truly be a wizard.

But Howard is more than that. She is also a teacher. She and her studio colleagues love to share their passion for glass with any and all who venture into the Sears Studio, which is located directly beside U.S. Highway 101 on the south side of Lincoln City.

Students of all ages, from NORTHWEST elementary school students TR AVE L to senior citizens, are invited to share in the experience.

In 2 weeks: They don leather gloves and California’s Big Sur coast goggles, and then are guided through the creative process, which requires only curiosity and interest, a certain amount of dexterity and a willingness to briefly endure the scorching heat of the furnaces.

The cost of the glass-blowing lessons varies, depending on what you are making. Floats and paperweights start at $65, and you get to keep the final product!

Waiting to exhale Visitors most frequently choose to make colorful sea floats. These fragile orbs mimic the traditional fishing-net floats of erstwhile Japanese fishermen.

This was the process, as I learned it from Howard: See Lincoln City / C4

A fist-sized glob of molten glass is rolled upon chips of colored metal and stone before it is returned to the furnace for additional melting. Students at the Sears Studio may choose from among more than a dozen bright colors in designing their works of art.

Ethan Allison, 11, contemplates his next move while playing his brother Trevor, 10, in a game of chess earlier this month at Aspen Ridge Retirement Community in Bend.

SPOTLIGHT Author to address child-rearing Best-selling author and psychologist Michael Thompson will discuss “How to Raise Responsible Children” at 6:30 p.m. April 25 at the Tower Theatre in downtown Bend. Thompson authored “Raising Cain: Protecting the Emotional Life of Boys” and “Best Friends/Worst Enemies: Understanding the Social Lives of Children.”

In this presentation, Thompson will mix anecdotal and clinical experience with research on the outcomes of different parenting styles. Thompson will offer a warm-hearted recipe for providing children with an internal foundation for moral behavior, according to organizers of the Cascades Academy Education Series.

Thompson is a consultant, author and psychologist specializing in children and families. He has worked in more than 500 schools across the United States, as well as in international schools in Central America, Europe and Asia.

Tickets cost $10 and are available at www.tower theatre.org or the box office.

Mom won’t stop Fantasy series calls for attentiveness her gym workout, Game of Thrones despite wailing baby

By Ginia Bellafante

New York Times News Service

Dear Abby: A member of my gym brings her newborn in with her every morning. She sets the carrier down next to her treadmill, puts in her earplugs and runs. The baby usually cries on and off, but today he cried nonstop during my entire 20-minute workout. It drove me crazy.

I’m a mom, too. A crying baby, especially a newborn, is heartbreaking. This woman never stops to see why her little one is crying or to console him. This situation doesn’t seem to bother the other gym members. Should I talk to her and risk a hostile response, or speak to the gym manager?

— Heavy-Hearted Gym Bunny in Riverview, Fla. Dear Gym Bunny: Talk to the manager. The crying infant may not bother the other gym members, but it bothers you.

The woman isn’t stopping her workout to see what may be wrong because with her earbuds in she can’t hear the child, which doesn’t make her a candidate for mother of the year.

She’s causing a distraction and an inconvenience to you, so speak up.

Dear Abby: I have been married to my high school sweetheart, “Don,” for 10 years. I love him dearly. We were very young when we married, and at the time he said he didn’t want kids.

I didn’t give it much thought because back then we weren’t ready to start a family. Now, Don still doesn’t want kids — but I do.

He says if children are that important to me, I should leave him and find someone who does want to be a parent. Of course, I don’t want just any man’s baby. I want his baby.

DEAR ABBY won’t agree to counseling. I can’t picture myself starting over with another man or going my whole life without being a mother.

— Unfulfilled in Louisville Dear Unfulfilled: Your husband has given you fair warning. You now have an important choice to make. Because having a child is so important to you, my advice is to start “picturing” yourself with another husband, and do it in enough time that you won’t be racing your biological clock.

Dear Abby: My partner has been diagnosed with Alzheimer’s.

As time goes on, I know I will lose him more and more. How do I do this and allow him to keep his dignity? Life comes full circle, and I understand that. How do you start the long goodbye?

— Lost in Phoenix Dear Lost: The first thing you need to do is contact the Alzheimer’s Association. The toll-free phone number is 800-272-3900, and the website is alz.org.

You and your partner should also make certain that his wishes for end-of-life care are clearly stated in writing, so that when the time comes, they will be respected. Then take each day as it comes.

Dear Abby is written by Abigail Van Buren, also known as Jeanne Phillips, and was founded by her mother, Pauline Phillips. Write Dear Abby at www.DearAbby .com or P.O. Box 69440, Los Angeles, CA 90069.

With the amount of money apparently spent on “Game of Thrones,” the fantasy epic set in a quasi-medieval somewhereland beginning tonight on HBO, a show like “Mad Men” might have the financing to continue into the second term of a Malia Obama presidency. “Game of Thrones” is a cast-of-at-leastmany-hundreds production, with sweeping “Braveheart” shots of warrior hordes.

Keeping track of the principals alone feels as though it requires the focused memory of someone who can play bridge at a Warren Buffett level of adeptness. In a sense, the series, which will span 10 episodes, ought to come with a warning like, “If you can’t count cards, please return to reruns of ‘Sex and the City.’”

Shot largely on location in the fields and hills of Northern Ireland and Malta, “Game of Thrones” is green and ripe and good-looking.

Here the term green carries double meaning as both visual descriptive and allegory.

Embedded in the narrative is a vague global-warming horror story. Rival dynasties vie for control over the Seven Kingdoms of Westeros — a territory where summers are measured in years, not months, and where winters can extend for decades.

How did this come to pass?

We are in the universe of dwarfs, armor, wenches, braids, loincloth. The strange temperatures clearly are not the fault of a reliance on inefficient HVAC systems.

Given the bizarre climate of

the landmass at the center of the bloody disputes, you have to wonder what all the fuss is about. We are not talking about Palm Beach.

The bigger question, though, is: What is “Game of Thrones” doing on HBO? The series claims as one of its executive producers the screenwriter and best-selling author David Benioff, whose excellent script for Spike Lee’s post-9/11 meditation, “25th Hour,” did not suggest a writer with Middle-Earth proclivities. Five years ago, however, Benioff began reading George R.R. Martin’s series of books, “A Song of Ice and Fire,” fell in love and sought to adapt “Game of Thrones,” one of the installments.

The show has been elaborately made to the point that producers turned to a professional at something called the Language Creation Society to design a vocabulary for the savage Dothraki nomads who provide some of the more PlayboyTV-style plot points and who are

forced to speak in subtitles. Like “The Tudors” and “The Borgias” on Showtime and the “Spartacus” series on Starz, “Game of Thrones,” is a costume-drama sexual hopscotch, even if it is more sophisticated than its predecessors. It says something about current American attitudes toward sex that with the exception of the lurid and awful “Californication,” nearly all eroticism on television is past tense.

The true perversion, though, is the sense you get that all of this illicitness has been tossed in as a little something for the ladies, out of a justifiable fear, perhaps, that no woman alive would watch otherwise.

Since the arrival of “The Sopranos” more than a decade ago, HBO has distinguished itself as a corporate auteur committed to examining the way that institutions are made and how

they are upheld or fall apart: the Mafia, municipal government (“The Wire”), the Roman empire (“Rome”), the American West (“Deadwood”), religious fundamentalism (“Big Love”).

When the network ventures away from its instincts for realworld sociology, as it has with the vampire saga “True Blood,” things start to feel cheap, and we feel as though we have been placed in the hands of cheaters.

“Game of Thrones” serves up a lot of confusion in the name of no larger or really relevant idea beyond sketchily fleshed-out notions that war is ugly, families are insidious and power is hot.

If you are not averse to the Dungeons & Dragons aesthetic, the series might be worth the effort.

If you are nearly anyone else, you will hunger for HBO to get back to the business of languages for which we already have a dictionary.

THE KING’S SPEECH (PG-13) 6

True to its mission, Comedy Central is still strong at 20

By Brian Stelter New York Times News Service

On television, the laughter is coming from every direction.

Yet Comedy Central, which turned 20 years old on April Fool’s Day, has arguably never been more relevant. The latenight tag team of Jon Stewart and Stephen Colbert makes news almost every week, the creators of “South Park” are cracking up Broadway and the channel’s newest star, Daniel Tosh, is drawing more than 4 million viewers some nights.

The channel just patted itself and its competitors on the back with the Comedy Awards, which were televised April 10 on Comedy Central and on several other channels owned

by Viacom.

Comedy Central’s endurance is the result of talent-spotting and demographic marketing.

“We have never wanted to be all comedy to all people,” said the channel’s president, Michele Ganeless. Doug Herzog, who oversees Comedy Central and two other channels owned

by Viacom, said, “Everybody’s doing some comedy, but nobody’s doing exactly what we’re doing.”

The bull’s-eye for Com-

edy Central is the audience of males ages 18 to 34. Any younger, and the beer and car advertisers would be off target.

Any older, and there are a dozen other channels advertisers could choose.

To date, almost every one of the channel’s successes has been the equivalent of a stand-up act: what Ganeless calls “singular point-of-view comedy.”

“It’s taking a talent like Jon Stewart or Stephen Colbert or Daniel Tosh or Sarah Silverman, and giving them a platform to do their thing,” she said. The animated show “South Park” is similar, she said, because it comes from two best friends, Matt Stone and Trey Parker.

Comedy Central’s forays into other formats, like sitcoms and reality shows, have mostly failed, with the notable exceptions of “Reno 911!,” a satire of “COPS” that ended in 2009, and “The Sarah Silverman Program,” a scripted take on the comedian’s life, which ended last year. Ganeless said, “We’ll continue to try to find the right narrative shows for us, and if we find a reality show that’s the right fit, we’ll do that.”

C OV ER S T ORY

Even on a cool, brisk day, children and their parents love flying kites at the D River State Recreation Site in the heart of Lincoln City. The town’s beaches stretch for 7½ miles from north to south — from Cascade Head, a distant right in this photo, all the way to Siletz Bay.

Andrew Kogel of the Jennifer Sears Glass Art Studio shows a walk-in student how to gather glass from a furnace, where the molten glass has been created with silica sand and other ingredients in a crucible. The steel pipe must be constantly turned to keep viscous glass from dripping off.

Lincoln City Continued from C1 Silica sand and other lesser ingredients, contained in a crucible, are melted together in a furnace that is heated to more than 1,000 degrees Fahrenheit. I gathered molten glass from the furnace at the end of a 5-foot-long steel pipe, which I turned slowly but constantly to keep the viscous substance from dripping back into the furnace.

Still twirling the pipe, I removed the fist-sized glob from the furnace’s “glory hole” and rolled it onto fractured bits of colored stone, which was quickly absorbed into the glass by reheating. After I again removed the ball from the furnace, I was handed a pair of large tweezers to twist the glass into swirl patterns.

After additional reheating to further meld the colors, I took my project to a polished steel surface known as a “marver.” I rolled the still-viscous glass upon this surface to balance its design, then placed it into a block, or mold, to define its ultimate shape.

Only now did the actual blowing begin. Much like a trumpet player, I blew into the pipe, gently at first, then with greater force.

As I did so, a bubble of air inside the glass ball slowly expanded.

When it reached its optimal size, my instructor clipped the neck of the ball with shears, at the edge of the pipe.

The final step was “annealing.”

This is a process by which glass is slowly cooled overnight in a temperature-controlled kiln to assure its strength and durability.

I now have a brilliant glass float, streaked with marine colors of blue, green and white, in an honored position in the corner of my desk. It’s about 6 inches across and weighs about a pound and a half. I was able to pick it up at the studio as I left Lincoln City the morning after my lesson. Those who are unable to do so can arrange to have their seaside souvenir mailed.

tober and Memorial Day, Lincoln City places more than 2,000 hand-crafted glass floats just above the high-tide mark, where beachcombers can find them and exult in their discoveries. Finders, keepers.

Glass orbs once regularly washed up on Oregon’s beaches, flotsam from Japanese fishing boats that used the hollow balls to float their nets. Shades of green and blue, the blown-glass floats were carried by currents across the Pacific. They appeared in sizes large and small, from 2 feet in diameter down to 2 inches. Collectors treasured their finds.

Today, international fishing vessels mainly use buoyant plastic in place of glass, and glass floats not in private homes are rarely seen outside of nautically oriented antique shops or museums, such as the North Lincoln County Historical Museum.

But Lincoln City, beginning in late 1999, began a tourism promotion that returned blown-glass floats to its beaches. Conceived two years earlier as a means of welcoming the new millennium, the project planted the colorful, signed and numbered floats, designed by local glass artists, on 7½ miles of Pacific shore. Tourists from around the world were delighted.

Now the “Finders Keepers” promotion is a part of life in Lincoln City. By Memorial Day 2011, the

city will have placed 2,011 new floats on its beaches, from Roads End to Cutler City, to tempt visitors. When a float is recovered, it may be registered by number with a phone call to the Lincoln City Visitor and Convention Bureau, which will respond by sending a certificate of authenticity and information about the designing artist.

Lodging options More unusual art is always on display at the Historic Anchor Inn, where I parked my bags for two nights during my glass-blowing visit to Lincoln City.

Built in 1946 as the Taft Heights Motor Court, it is one of the oldest existing accommodations on the Oregon coast. But after Kip and Kandi Ward bought the motel five years ago, they converted it into a memorable travel bargain.

“When we got it, it was dilapidated,” said Kip Ward, a former restaurateur and employmentagency owner. “I don’t know how it once was, but I know how I would have liked it to have been.

It had good bones, but it needed a lot of work.”

To that end, the Wards — for lack of a better word — “funkified” the establishment. Abandoned boats and maritime memorabilia adorn the exterior. In the fully licensed restaurant, which opened earlier this month for

Sea floats If you’re not feeling creative, there’s another way to get yourself a glass float: Take a walk on the beach.

Every year between mid-Oc-

A student artist “tweezes” a globule of glass, twisting it into swirl patterns with a pair of large tweezers. Leather gloves and goggles are essential garb in the Sears Art Studio, but students otherwise require only curiosity, interest, dexterity and a willingness to work beside super-heated furnaces.

A finely crafted exotic fish is typical of many of the works that artist Kelly Howard exhibits in Lincoln City’s Volta Gallery. A graduate of the Art Institute of Chicago, Howard creates her work at the Jennifer Sears Glass Art Studio, where she also instructs students of all ages in her chosen art.

pasta dinners, the walls and ceilings are covered with ship models, nautical flags and historical photos. Guest rooms, many of them two-room suites, are decorated like quirky libraries or art galleries.

Another fine choice for lodging in Lincoln City is the Inn at Spanish Head, a short distance north of the Anchor Inn. Every one of its 120 guest suites has been designed with oceanfront floor-to-ceiling windows, and the sunset views are nothing short of spectacular. The same is true of Fathoms Restaurant & Bar on the 10th (penthouse) floor of the resort hotel.

Lincoln City sprawls for miles along the central Oregon coast, from Roads End at its northern extreme to Cutler City, on Siletz Bay in the south. In fact, the town of 10,500 was five separate communities until 1965, when Oceanlake, Delake, Nelscott, Taft and Cutler City incorporated as a single community.

At its heart is the D River, touted as the world’s shortest river, which flows from freshwater Devils Lake northeast of the city center. Here, beside the river-crossing bridge, a beachside recreation site is a favorite destination for kite fliers, who take advantage of brisk coastal winds and the presence of a nearby kite-specialty shop.

A couple of miles north of the river is the Chinook Winds Casino Resort, the Central Coast’s entertainment center. The hotel has 227 rooms of various sizes; the gaming floor is the largest of any Oregon Coast casino; and the resort has its own 18-hole golf course and a large concert facility.

On my recent visit, I was fortunate to see 85-year-old blues maestro B.B. King perform. Famed country star Loretta Lynn has two

shows scheduled in August.

Where to eat The casino’s dining facilities are also excellent. Five separate restaurants serve meals around the clock.

Strong demonstrated his skills in an iron chef-style competition at the Culinary Center in Lincoln City, defeating three other outstanding Oregon chefs for first place in a charity event. Then he returned to the hotel to show off for appreciative diners.

Lincoln City is fortunate to have several fine restaurants. Two others are the Bay House Restaurant, at the south end of town, and the Blackfish Café, close to the center.

At the Bay House, any doubts that I may have had about the skill of 26-year-old chef Sean McCart, a rising star in Oregon’s culinary universe, were washed away with

my first course. It was pan-fried soft-shell crab, presented with a blood-orange, hazelnut and frisée salad. Together with a plate of ahi tartare, it was all I required for a superb dinner.

Blackfish chef-owner Rob Pounding has been well known to area diners for a quarter-century, first at the Salishan Lodge for 14 years, and since 1999 at his own little restaurant in downtown Lincoln City. His duck breast, grilled in blackberries and port wine, served with a sage-and-walnut risotto, has few rivals.

Two fine choices for breakfast or lunch are at opposite ends of town. In Taft, the Beach Dog Inn shows its allegiance to the canine species with doggy photos and décor throughout. The omelets are unforgettable. Just north of Lincoln City, the Otis Café has just as many fans of the two-legged variety who crave the great burgers.

AUSTIN, Texas — So, are you breathlessly making plans to attend the wedding of Britain’s Prince William and Kate Middleton on April 29?

Me neither. Wasn’t invited.

Don’t have an elaborate enough hat. But I must admit that hearing so much about Britain this month makes me want to make a return visit with my husband.

You can’t beat London — and other United Kingdom destinations, as well — for a romantic vacation.

It’s not Paris, of course, but Britain has all those castles, parks and gardens; all that historic grandeur. There’s even something elegantly appealing about its stodginess.

What, you don’t have a significant other with whom to share such a trip? Well, heck: Go it alone. Britain’s full of romantic people with excellent British accents.

Here are 10 possible components of a romantic British sojourn fit for a future king and queen.

1. Read up. Frommer’s travel books just launched an ebook ($6.99) that includes a bike trek following the couple’s courtship, a shopping trip of Kate’s favorite places to browse and much more. Find it at frommers .com/go/royalebook/.

2. Visit Westminster Abbey on a day the royals aren’t using it. “I was at Westminster Abbey, you know,” you can tell your friends and let them assume what they’d like. (It’s also

where Sir Isaac Newton, Geoffrey Chaucer and Charles Darwin are buried). Learn more at westminster-abbey.org.

3. Stand on ceremony. A tad weary of the Changing of the Guard, are we? Much more mysterious is the Ceremony of the Keys at the Tower of London, which over the years housed many a royal spouse.

Every night at 9:53 p.m., the chief yeoman warden emerges wearing his exceedingly fine Tudor outfit and locks up with great fanfare. It’s free, but you need a reservation to get in: hrp .org.uk/TowerOfLondon/Whats On/ceremonyofthekeys.aspx.

4. Say it with flowers. Want a highly romantic floral display?

The peerless Kew Gardens are just a quick 10-mile tube ride from downtown London. You’ll love the 300 acres of flowers, rainforest, treetops tour and, through May, a special Easter display. Wear sturdy walking shoes; this is a full afternoon of strolling.

5. Visit a castle. There are tons of castles in Britain, including the usual suspects Balmoral, Buckingham, Windsor, Edinburgh. But let’s pick a particularly showy one off the beaten path.

Drive (on the wrong side of the road) up to Bangor in North Wales’ County Gwynedd, bordered by the Irish Sea and Snowdonia National Park. In this majestic setting you’ll find Penrhyn Castle, a breathtaking 19th-century neo-Norman castle whose furnishings include a 1-ton slate bed made for Queen Victoria

and some awesome gardens.

Learn more at penrhyn-castle .wales.info/.

6. Cuddle with your sweetie on the London Eye, the big Ferris wheel on the banks of the Thames. Every relationship has its ups and downs; may as well enjoy yours. On a clear day you can see 25 miles, which the royal couple would remind you is 40 kilometers.

7. Club-hop like a royal. I’m told William and Kate like to enjoy a glass of this and that at Boujis, 43 Thurloe St. in South Kensington; or in Mayfair, Mahiki at 1 Dover St. or Whisky Mist at 35 Hertford St. 8. Go strolling in the park.

My own favorite is St. James Park near Buckingham Palace, the oldest royal park in London, where you can write a romantic poem while admiring the flowers and birds.

9. Never too many flowers.

If you’re in London May 2428, you must attend one of the queen’s favorite events, the Royal Horticultural Society’s Chelsea Flower Show. Tickets for various events at various prices at theticketfactory.com.

10. Get a room. Splurge and book a romantic stay at one of London’s finest hotels.

The May Fair Hotel’s Royal Wedding Afternoon Tea Package includes three nights at the hotel, full English breakfast daily, royal afternoon tea and a pair of Darlington Crystal royal wedding champagne flutes with which to toast the happy event.

It’s available through May 1 starting at £850.

Stacy Morrison knew the moment her marriage was over.

In 2004, she and her husband, Chris Shannon, were dealing with a new baby, new house and Morrison’s new, demanding job as editor of Redbook magazine. Shannon made his frustration crystal clear when he said, “I’m done with this.� “I panicked, and cried and cried,� Morrison says. “We agreed that we would try and work on it.�

They never said for how long, though.

When she later tried to hold a conversation with her husband, she realized he wasn’t listening. “I said to him, ‘If we’re trying, can you at least participate?’ And he said, ‘I’m not trying. I’m waiting for you to be done trying.’ That’s the day I said, ‘OK, the marriage is over.’ �

Shannon moved out 2½ months later. The divorce was final in 2007.

Morrison, the author of “Falling Apart in One Piece: One Optimist’s Journey Through the Hell of Divorce�

(Simon & Schuster, $26), says her life has changed drastically since then. She resigned from her magazine job to take care of her ailing parents, who are now deceased. She and her ex-husband are navigating the world of co-parenting their son, Zack, now 7½.

And she’s fallen in love again.

She and her boyfriend, whom she prefers not to name, have

been together three years. No wedding bells yet, but Zack’s pushing for it, she says.

Morrison’s ex-husband has a key to the Brooklyn apartment she shares with her boyfriend, and he’s there at least two nights a week to hang out with Zack and put him to bed. “Our relationship has continued to change as we’ve been apart,� Morrison says. “It’s been a long, slow letting-go process.�

These days, Morrison makes a living as a freelance writer and editorial consultant, while she keeps up her website for the book, www.fallingapartin onepiece.com. The book was released in paperback this month.

Morrison discusses the ups and downs of breaking up: Your book talks about heartbreak, anger, grief and the end of a dream. How did you find the will to write about all that?

I wrote the book because I was truly blown away by how hard everything was. To have your life partner look at you and say “I’m done� instantly makes you question everything about yourself and the life you live, and your ability to make good decisions. We’re kind of wired to think that bad things happen because we mess up.

The whole journey of my divorce was letting go of that and realizing that with life, it just is. ...

The lessons that I learned have been such a relief. I walk more calmly in my life. I trust myself much more, and I’m less afraid of change, heartache, disaster.

You name it, I expect it — but not in a pessimistic way.

What did you want after your divorce?

A:

At first I thought I wanted answers. Why is this happening? Why is he leaving me? But what I really wanted was peace, clarity, to let go and to not have my divorce be the thing that defined me.

Did you ever feel like a complete failure?

Oh, sure. You’re kind of dazed in general feelings of suckitude. There’s really no avoiding it. ... The way that I got that clarity about peace was self-preservation. There are a lot of feelings going on — guilt, incredible rage. You feel hate, which is a terrible thing to feel.

You feel frightened.

You talk about being on a mission to feel successful in your divorce. Have you achieved that?

I say my divorce is the best thing that ever happened to me. You just sort of feel victorious when you get through something hard without creating more damage. I figured out how to honor and respect Chris’ experience, thinking, “Wow, he really feels like he needs to get out of this marriage.� This was his story. It just was affecting me. You go into a marriage together, but it turns out a partnership isn’t really a partnership. That’s Chapter Two. But you can let go with grace, even if your partner is kicking, screaming and fighting. Choose the high road.

How does it feel to be in love again?

I’m still in a bit of a shock.

Having a very serious and committed relationship after divorce might make you feel like you’re walking on egg shells.

Q: A:

Q: A:

Q: A:

But ... it feels really good. It’s been a magical experience, like breathing for the first time. That was such a thrill to not feel like damaged goods. I do not feel like damaged goods. It’s made me a stronger, smarter, more compassionate me.

Why do you encourage your readers to be vulnerable and open with their partners through their divorce?

When a tree is being buffeted by the wind, the trees that survive are the ones that bend. The ones that are brittle and hard, they snap.

We’re built to be resilient, but our culture falls in love with being powerful. There is weakness in resilience, but there is also the power to snap back.

My divorce brought me to my knees, but I came out with a strong, quiet strength.

How did you come up with the title?

I came to my knees, survived and didn’t fall into a million little pieces. I want to bring hope to people, not just for divorce, but everything in life. It’s about giving over to the hurt, loss and the grief, but it doesn’t have to blow you into pieces.

After going through something you never saw coming, what can you say you now know for sure?

Life is hard. Life is good.

These two truths are unrelated. And we, poor little humans, constantly try to make the connection. You have to live your life by your own internal pilot of knowing where you’re supposed to be and to accept the good and bad.

Continued from C1 “They enjoy playing with adults. They’re home-schooled, and they play with a group of adults (in the chess club). They compete with them. (The adults) are not just, ‘Oh, there’s the kids; we have to take it easy on them.’

They actually compete with these guys. I think they really enjoy that.”

Once he realized Ethan’s talent, Allison contacted a friend he played chess with in college who had a champion chess player for a son.

“I called him up and said, ‘Chris ... what do I do?’ He said, ‘Get him involved with the local chess club.’ ” Allison searched online and found the Central Oregon Chess Club’s website, www.bendchess .com. Club director Paul Motta, acknowledged by club members The Bulletin spoke to as its best player, has been coaching Ethan for about five months.

When the Allisons began showing up, “I could see that (Ethan) had a lot of possibility,” says Motta, who began competing in tournaments in 1971 at age 13. “Ethan has progressed pretty well, similar to the pace that I did in 1971. It took me about a year to get really good. He’s kind of on pace. He’s already beating most of the guys at the club.”

Those other club members have also been helping Ethan and Trevor with their play, says Allison.

In February, the brothers took part in their first Chess for Success Regional Tournament in Redmond. Ethan placed first in the fifth-grade division; Trevor tied for second in the K-4 division.

Those strong finishes led to a March invitation for the two to compete at the 2011 State Championships in Portland. Ethan finished second out of about 80 fifthgraders. Though Trevor didn’t place in the top 20, “just making it the state tournament was an accomplishment and helped him gain some experience for next year,” says Allison, a retired school psychologist.

The first weekend of April, they headed to Seaside to attend the Oregon Scholastic Chess Federation Tournament for the first time. They each competed in the blitz category, a speed form of chess in which each player has just five minutes to complete the

game. Ethan placed first overall in his division, and Trevor tied for first in his, but lost the tiebreaker.

The next day, they attended the Chess for Success, City of Portland Championships, an open scholastic tournament for kids in kindergarten through eighth grade. Ethan finished second, and Trevor tied for fifth, both among the few elementary students to finish in the top five places.

“I give credit to all the guys (in the Central Oregon club),” says Allison. “There have been a lot of nights where I’ve gone, ‘Man, they’re getting beat again.’ But, really, they’ve helped them out a lot.”

Trevor says the game is difficult, and that he still has a lot to learn from the folks at Central Oregon Chess Club.

Asked if he likes playing against his older brother, Trevor replied, “No. He’s a lot better.”

“Trevor’s come a long way this year,” says his father. “Trevor is really starting to play at a much higher level than he was.”

Addressing Trevor, Allison says, “You can agree or disagree: The better you get, the more you win and the funner it becomes.”

“Yeah,” agreed Trevor, who says he recommends chess to other kids.

Ethan says the idea of fighting for the king is partly what draws

him to play chess.

He’s been able to win matches against most of the regulars at the Central Oregon club.

But not coach Motta. “Not yet,” Ethan says.

“The student hasn’t beaten the teacher yet,” Motta says later, “but he’s good enough to. He could do it.”

Last year, when they attended the Scripps National Spelling Bee where sister Hannah competed, Ethan was able to get in on a few chess games.

“We showed up, and being country bumpkins from Bend, Oregon, in the middle of innercity Washington, D.C., decided to see if we could get Ethan a game,” says Allison. “One of the players, who’s pretty well-known, played Ethan six games. What was his name, Ethan?”

“Body Count,” Ethan replies.

“Body Count,” repeats his father. “That’s because the bodies just kind of fell all around him. ... We learned lots of interesting words, and saw lots of interesting people on lots of interesting chemicals. But it was a really interesting time.”

Ethan won a couple of those matches against Body Count.

And can he beat his father now?

“Ethan is better than I am,” says Allison. “That’s why I sought out Paul (Motta), to try and help him get beyond what I can teach him. Trevor is not yet at that level, but he’s on a glide path. I imagine in a year or so, he’ll beat me. You always want your kids to be better than you.”

BY JACQUELINE BIGAR HAPPY BIRTHDAY for Sunday, April 17, 2011: This year, you have the ability to relate to many people. The issue becomes your boundaries.

You might wonder how much is too much. When do you say no?

You will find the correct balance because of the intensity with which you eye this issue. If you are single, you can see the full dimension of this struggle when relating, even at the early stages.

If you are attached, sometimes you might be resentful, as you give too much of yourself. Other times you feel guilty for not giving enough. Know that this swing back and forth will become smaller and smaller. LIBRA is a people person and easygoing.

Tonight: Remember yourself, too.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) HHHHH You might be juggling people, ideas and plans. Consider the possibility of canceling something. You could go from frenzied to happily relating. Those around you will appreciate an easier attitude. Tonight: Hang out.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) HHHH Many people will be off with their own concerns. Getting certain errands accomplished and feeling good about yourself both can happen, if you plan.

Electronic medical records poised Study argues culture to cut costs, improve patient care trumps biology when languages develop

By Bruce Japsen Chicago Tribune

CHICAGO — Jennifer Gomez sat at her doctor’s office after her appointment, waiting for a handwritten prescription. Minutes later, her doctor wondered why Gomez was still in the office.

What the 20-year-old Loyola University Chicago student didn’t know was that not only had the prescription been sent to the pharmacy, it also was ready to be filled.

“The prescription was at my pharmacy before I even walked out of the office, because everything is computerized,” Gomez said of her experience at a clinic run by NorthShore University HealthSystem. “I was surprised, expecting to wait.”

Gomez is among the first patients to experience the benefits of electronic medical records, as the nation’s health care industry moves from paper files to computerized records. The momentum is expected to pick up this year as federal stimulus money to help with the transition is starting to arrive at doctor offices and hospitals across the U.S. Already, hundreds of hospital operators nationwide, including the largest ones in the Chicago area such as NorthShore, have entered the digital age, allowing patients to access e-mail alerts to remind them of appointments, request medical test results or easily connect with insurance companies, pharmacies and other key players of the health care system.

Industry observers project the digitizing of medical records could save the nation’s health care system hundreds of millions of dollars because it would reduce or eliminate redundant testing and the occurrence of errors in patients’ files, among other benefits.

“If you are an emergency room doctor and you are trying to figure out what to do next, an electronic medical record may prevent you from having to do another” test, Dave Seaman, chief executive of Pronger Smith Medical Care, said of expensive procedures such as MRIs and other diagnostic imaging that can cost hundreds or thousands of dollars.

About 90 percent of the medical care providers at Pronger Smith, which has more than 60 doctors, physician’s assistants and nurse practitioners in Tinley Park and Blue Island and handles about 50,000 patients each year, have implemented electronic medical records, Seaman said.

As more health care systems adopt electronic records, consumers also should benefit from the efficient sharing of medical information.

“Most physicians will tell you that if you give me your prescriptions that you are on and show me your lab tests, that tells a pretty good snapshot of a patient,” Seaman said. “(Without electronic records), you’d have all these lab test

which it purchased in 1999, “went live for an additional cost of approximately $5 million,” NorthShore said.

In 2009, Congress passed and President Barack Obama signed into law the Health Information Technology for Economic and Clinical Health Act, which was part of the American Reinvestment and Recovery Act. The legislation aims to provide more than $20 billion to get doctors and hospitals to use electronic medical records, computerized prescription systems and other health information technology.

Doctors for the first time are eligible to begin getting more than $40,000 in extra Medicare payments this year if they upgrade their health information technology. If doctors can’t demonstrate the “meaningful use” of certified electronic health record system by 2015, they face reduced Medicare payments, federal health officials say.

In Illinois, the state received more than $18 million in federal stimulus dollars to support a statewide health information exchange that will allow medical care pro-

viders to share data electronically in a collaborative, secure system, Gov. Pat Quinn’s office said. That, analysts say, should eliminate another hurdle that doctors have said prevented their practices from buying a system: the fear it might not work with a system made by another company.

The financial support is paying off, the nation’s top health official said.

“In the last two years, the share of primary care providers using a basic electronic health record has gone from under 20 percent to nearly 30 percent,” Kathleen Sebelius, secretary of Health and Human Services, told hospitals and health systems in February at the Health Information and Management Systems Society annual meeting in Orlando, Fla. “When President Obama came into office, only two in 10 doctors ... used even a basic electronic health record system. Over the last two years, we’ve created unprecedented momentum behind health information technology.”

Challenges are expected to remain for smaller and solo doctor offices, analysts say.

“The initial startup and transition is difficult,” said Dr. Stephen Sproul, a family physician at Advocate Lutheran General Hospital in Park Ridge.

“You have to learn a whole new way of documenting your patient care and managing your patient interactions, and that change is difficult,” Sproul said. “You start to see a light at the end of the tunnel after about a year. Physicians have to be patient, but they will see results.”

“You have to learn a whole new way of documenting your patient care and managing your patient interactions, and that change is difficult. You start to see a light at the end of the tunnel after about a year. Physicians have to be patient, but they will see results.”

— Dr. Stephen Sproul, family physician, Advocate Lutheran General Hospital results, and you would have them in 50 to 100 sheets of paper, if the patient even had them.”

The shift to electronic medical records has been in the works for years, but obstacles such as the cost of digitizing files and concerns about patient privacy have held back many hospitals and physician practices.

A key hurdle has been the doctors themselves. The physician community is highly fragmented, numbering in the hundreds of thousands, with more than 60 percent of office-based physicians in a single or small practice of four doctors or fewer, according to the American Medical Association.

So coordinating implementation has been a battle.

These doctors also have been concerned about the affordability of information systems, which can cost tens of thousands of dollars for a small practice. The doctors also worry whether the systems will work and whether they can communicate with other computerized medical systems.

NorthShore digitally connected health records to three of its Illinois hospitals in Evanston, Glenview and Highland Park, along with its medical group offices, in 2003 at a cost of $35 million. In 2009, its hospital in Skokie, Ill.,

LOS ANGELES — Are the rules of language encoded in our genes, or are they primarily shaped by the speaker’s cultural context?

Leading linguistic thinkers have argued that our brains are hard-wired for languages to follow certain sets of rules.

But a team of scientists is challenging that premise in a study published online Wednesday in the journal Nature.

The team used biological tools to construct evolutionary trees for four language families and found that each of the families followed its own idiosyncratic structural rules, a sign that humans’ language choices are driven by culture rather than innate preferences.

The authors say their findings contradict the “universal rules” of Joseph Greenberg, who said languages tended to choose certain patterns over others.

“Culture trumps the innate structure of the human mind,” said study co-author Russell Gray, an evolutionary psychologist at the University of Auckland in New Zealand.

“We need to take much more seriously the role of cultural factors in changing language diversity.”

But many linguists challenged the study’s conclusions and said that, in any event, they did not contradict Greenberg’s ideas.

For decades, linguists have studied the diverse structures of languages with the idea that there are underlying principles all languages follow — principles that many presumed were programmed into our brains.

Greenberg statistically analyzed a multitude of languages and identified a universal list of ordering relationships within them. For example, if a language puts verbs before objects (as in the English “eat bagels”), it also will put prepositions before nouns (“in school”). But if it puts verbs after objects, it will have postpositions instead (as Hindi does).

es followed such rules as they evolved, Gray’s team built four family trees. One was based on 82 Indo-European languages (including Spanish, English and Hindi), another was based on 400 Austronesian (including Indonesian and Hawaiian), a third analyzed 34 Uto-Aztecan (including Hopi and Yaqui) and a fourth included 73 Bantu (as well as two Bantoid) languages.

Theoretically, if a language changed its verb ordering, for instance, its preposition ordering would switch too. But the data showed that this didn’t happen consistently.

Gray’s team also looked at eight of Greenberg’s ordering categories and mapped how they were related within each language family. If Greenberg had been right, they said, the four language families would share similar relationships between these categories.

Instead, the researchers found that while there were strong correlations within families, there were few similarities across them.

However, many linguists criticized the study for misunderstanding the foundational linguistics theories it claimed to contradict.

“There are many logically possible word orders that languages could choose, and don’t,” UC Davis psychologist and typologist John Hawkins said. And since the study doesn’t consider other factors that contribute to language development, he said, it “leaves you with a somewhat unsatisfactory taste.”

Blazers drop playoff opener to Mavs

By Stephen Hawkins The Associated Press

Tony Gutierrez / The Associated Press

Portland Trail Blazers forward LaMarcus Aldridge, left, posts up against Dallas’ Tyson Chandler in the second half Saturday.

DALLAS — Dirk Nowitzki knows how to take over a game when the Dallas Mavericks need him the most, and Jason Kidd can still make some big shots.

Nowitzki scored 18 of his 28 points in the fourth quarter and the 38-year-old Kidd had a playoff career-best six three-pointers among his 24 points as Dallas defeated the Portland Trail Blazers 89-81 Saturday night in Game 1 of their first-round Western Conference series.

“Just really kept on plugging,” Nowitzki said. “I’ve got to keep going. The team told me to keep attacking and things will start happening.”

Even though Nowitzki struggled from the field most of the night, making only seven of 20 shots, he came through when the Mavericks needed him most. Nowitzki scored 12 consecutive points in the game-turning spurt in the closing minutes when Dallas tied the game and eventually went ahead to stay. In the opener of his 11th consecutive postseason appearance with the Mavs, he made all 13 of his free throws — all in the fourth quarter.

La Pine boys triumph in own invitational Summit girls take top spot in meet featuring 10 teams

Bulletin staff report

Bulletin staff report LA PINE — Some things are best left to Chance.

Trailing Summit by 10 meters when he took the baton for the final leg of the boys 1,600-meter relay Saturday at the La Pine Invitational, the Inside Hawks’ Chance • La Pine Link outkicked Invitational Summit’s Gage results, Jeffries to give Page D5 the Hawks a pho to -f i n i s h victory.

La Pine edged out the Storm by less than a second, 3 minutes, 51.43 seconds to 3:52.11. The long relay victory sealed the team title for the Hawks, who bested runnerup Summit 166-161. The Storm split up their teams Saturday, sending some athletes to La Pine and others to the Crater Classic in Central Point. Redmond, which also had athletes at the Barlow Relays in Gresham on Saturday, placed third in the boys standings with 109 points at the 10-team invitational.

The Hawk boys team posted multiple victories Saturday. Jeremy Desrosiers won the long jump, Spencer Wilson took first in the 400, Josh Hayes was victorious in the shot put, Travis Harrison posted the best throw in the discus and Deion Mock ended the day with top honors in the pole vault.

La Pine also won the 400 relay, finishing in 45.16 seconds.

“We’re definitely going to go under 45 seconds,” La Pine coach Gary Slater said about his short relay.

CENTRAL POINT — Competing against new district rivals Ashland and Eagle Point for the first time this season, Central Oregon schools Summit, Mountain View and Bend made quite the first impression Saturday at the Crater Classic boys and girls track meet.

The Summit boys won the 20-team competition with 94.5 points, besting a host of Class 6A schools in North Medford (75 points), Roseburg (62), South Medford (59) and Grants Pass (59). Bend High placed seventh overall in the boys standings with 44 points, the second-best mark of any 5A team, and Mountain View finished 10th with 31.5 points.

Roseburg took first in the girls competition with 90.5 points, with Mountain View nipping the four-time defending state champion Storm for runner-up honors, 76.575. Bend High placed 10th in the girls standings with 18.5 points.

With a win in the boys meet and a third-place finish in the girls competition, Summit, which also sent athletes to the La Pine Invitational on Saturday, took home the combinedteam champion trophy as well.

The Cougar girls started the day on the track with a win in the 400-meter relay (49.93 seconds) and ended competition with a victory in the 1,600 relay (4:02.79). Both times set new 5A-best marks for this season.

“It was a big day,” Mountain View assistant coach Tate Metcalf said. “That first relay (the 400) set the tone for the rest of the day.”

As leagues in other sports are supersizing, NHL is downsizing

Buffalo’s Nathan Gerbe skates into the Philadelphia zone, spinning 270 degrees, stopping on a dime, then backhands home the goal that clinches a playoff berth for the Sabres.

Tampa Bay’s Martin St. Louis intercepts a Carolina pass in his own zone and in the same motion banks a perfect breakaway feed off the boards to Vincent Lecavalier, creating the goal that ends the Hurricanes’ postseason hopes and, in effect, puts the Rangers in the playoffs.

Montreal’s Brian Gionta scores both goals as the Canadiens steal their first-round series opener from the Bruins, 2-0, in Boston.

What do the principal characters in each of

these pivotal NHL moments of the last week and a half have in common? In a league where the average player is 6-foot-1, they are short.

Gerbe is 5-5. St. Louis is 5-8. Gionta is 5-7.

Small NHL players have undergone something of a revival since the 2004-05 lockout, when the league decided to strictly enforce rules against hooking, holding and other forms of obstruction, and legalized the long two-line pass.

Tampa Bay’s Vincent Lecavalier (4) celebrates a goal with teammates Martin St. Louis, center, and Brett Clark earlier this month.

St. Louis is only 5-foot-8, and is one of a growing number of short players who are succeeding in the NHL.

Tenni s • U.S. trails Germany in Fed Cup playoff: The United States is on the verge of being relegated from the World Group for the first time after losing both singles matches to Germany in the Fed Cup playoffs on Saturday in Stuttgart, Germany. Andrea Petkovic defeated 18-yearold Christina McHale 6-3, 6-4 in the opening singles, and Julia Goerges edged 19-year-old Melanie Oudin 6-2, 7-6 (5) to lead Germany within a point of securing victory in the best-of-five tie.

The Americans, who have won the competition a record 17 times, have never been relegated. The United States was Fed Cup runner-up in the last two years, losing both times to Italy.

• Nadal reaches 7th straight Monte Carlo final: Six-time defending champion Rafael Nadal reached the Monte Carlo Masters final with a 6-4, 2-6, 6-1 victory over Andy Murray Saturday in Monaco. Murray needed a cortisone shot in his right arm before the match. Nadal will play fourth-seeded David Ferrer in today’s all-Spanish final. Ferrer defeated seventh-seeded Jurgen Melzer of Austria 6-3, 6-2 to advance to his second Masters title match. He lost his first in Rome to Nadal last year. “It is a fantastic victory for me against a very difficult opponent,” Nadal said. “Start the clay-court season being in the final is very good for me.”

The top-ranked Nadal had to work for nearly three hours against Murray. He won for the 36th straight time at this clay-court event but dropped a set at the tournament for the first time since the 2009 final against Novak Djokovic.

Cycling • Contador wins Castilla time trial: Alberto Contador won the Vuelta de Castilla and Leon time trial on Saturday in Spain. The Tour de France champion completed the seven-mile course in 13 minutes, 42 seconds. He edged Saxo Bank-SunGuard teammate Richie Porte by one second and new overall leader Xavier Tondo of Movistar by two seconds. Contador came in as a three-time winner looking to defend his title. But he had a pair of tire punctures in two of the first three legs, including near the end of Friday’s mountaintop finish, to drop out of contention.

Hockey • Anaheim’s Ryan suspended two games: The NHL suspended Anaheim left winger Bobby Ryan for two games Saturday for stomping on Predators defenseman Jonathon Blum’s foot, meaning one-third of the Ducks’ top line will miss Games 3 and 4 in Nashville. Ryan was caught by TV cameras using his left foot to step on Blum’s skate while they battled for the puck against the boards with 3:25 left in Anaheim’s 5-3 victory Friday night to even the opening playoff series.

Ryan clinched the win with an empty-net goal in the final minute.

Gymnastics • Alabama wins women’s gymnastics team title: Alabama won the team title Saturday at the NCAA women’s gymnastics championships in Cleveland. The Crimson Tide (197.65) edged defending national champion UCLA (197.375) for first place in the event at Cleveland State’s Wolstein Center. It was Alabama’s fifth crown and its first since 2002.

Basketball • Shaq out for Boston’s playoff opener: Shaquille O’Neal will miss the Boston Celtics’ playoff opener against the New York Knicks tonight with a right calf injury.

General manager Danny Ainge made the announcement during practice Saturday and said “we don’t know when he’ll be ready.” Game 2 of the best-of-seven Eastern Conference series is in Boston on Tuesday night.

Blazers Continued from D1 Soon after Portland had its largest lead of six points, the Mavericks got back within 72-70 when Nowitzki made two free throws with 4:49 left.

After Kidd rebounded a Miller miss, Nowitzki got fouled and hit two more free throws to tie the game.

Miller then scored with a finger-roll, but Nowitzki hit a threepointer from the right corner to put the Mavs ahead to stay with 3:40 left.

“The most important shot of the game,” coach Rick Carlisle said. “That really energized our building and energized our team. ... He stayed with it, and when we talk about the importance of persistence on our team, he was a great example of that tonight because it wasn’t going great necessarily the whole game.”

Dallas, the No. 3 Western Conference seed, survived in Game 1 against a feisty bunch of Trail Blazers who have become a chic pick for a first-round playoff upset. Partly because the Mavericks have been knocked out in the first round three of the last four years since taking a 2-0 lead in the 2006 NBA Finals.

Game 2 is Tuesday night in Dallas.

LaMarcus Aldridge had 27 points for Portland and Andre Miller had 18.

Nowitzki made two more free throws after he was fouled hard and was rubbing his left elbow.

Aldridge then had a scooping shot before Nowitzki spun between two defenders at the free-throw line and made the shot while being fouled. His free throw made it 80-76.

The 38-year-old Kidd, in his 122nd playoff game over 15 NBA postseasons, was nine of 14 shooting. He also had four assists and two steals. His high-scoring game during the regular season was 21 points against the Los Angeles Lakers in mid-January.

“They want me to be aggressive,” Kidd said. “We all know that Dirk and Jet (Jason Terry) are offensive guys and they put the ball up. But in the playoffs you have to have other guys step up and score and I know that our opponents are going to give me that jump shot and I have to be able to knock it down.”

Portland built its lead to 72-66 when Brandon Roy turned and saw Nicolas Batum charging along the baseline and passed him the ball for an easy dunk.

“We just had to stay solid down the stretch and we didn’t,” Aldridge said. “But when you have a chance to win it always makes you feel better.”

Dallas Mavericks forward Dirk Nowitzki (41) goes to the basket as Portland’s Nicolas Batum (88) and Gerald Wallace, right, defend in the second half of Saturday’s playoff game in Dallas. came during a span when Dallas missed 10 consecutive field goals over a stretch of nearly 11 minutes after building a 10-point lead. Kidd’s jumper with 5:28 left in the game ended that miserable spurt before Nowitzki took over.

“Dirk came alive,” Portland center Marcus Camby said. “We know we let one get away, but we can’t let this one linger.”

Aldridge got off to a fast start with 11 points in the first 7 1⁄2 minutes of the game in his hometown. That included eight points in a span of less than two minutes that he bookended with a pair of alley-oop dunks from Marcus Camby to put the Blazers up 15-14.

A long three-pointer by Terry put the Mavericks up 33-26.

Portland cut the gap to 35-33 on Batum’s bounce pass through the

lane to Miller for a basket.

A putback dunk by Brendan Haywood ignited a half-ending 12-4 run. That was the first of seven straight points for Dallas before Aldridge had another high-flying dunk with three minutes left in the half — this one on a pass from Miller — for his first basket since his early scoring flurry.

After Portland scored the first six points of the second half, cutting the gap to 47-43, Kidd hit consecutive three-pointers. Kidd ended up with the ball after missing another from beyond the arc, then got the ball to Shawn Marion for a 16-footer. Less than two minutes later, Kidd hit another long jumper for a 57-47 lead.

It was a much different performance for Kidd than two weeks ago in Portland, when he

was scoreless while missing all six of his shots — five of them three-pointers — before getting a couple of games off to rest for the postseason.

“Spectacular,” Carlisle said.

“We had some guys that didn’t play their best games, but Jason Kidd played the game of the year to this point. Every shot he made, every play he made was absolutely essential for us. His leadership is something you can’t quantify.”

Notes: Portland has lost 14 of its last 16 road playoff games. ...

After Rudy Fernandez opened Portland’s scoring in the second quarter with a three-pointer for a 25-23 lead, Peja Stojakovic hit consecutive threes for Dallas.

The second one hit the front rim and bounced high in the air before falling through the hoop.

Howard’s 46 not enough; Hawks stun Magic The Associated Press ORLANDO, Fla. — The Atlanta Hawks’ dominance over the Orlando Magic this year is not just a regular-season phenomenon.

For now, it also includes the postseason.

Joe Johnson scored 25 points, Jamal Crawford finished with 23 and Atlanta beat Orlando 103-93 in Game 1 of their playoff series on Saturday, overcoming a monster night by Dwight Howard.

Atlanta was eliminated by Orlando in last year’s playoffs in the most lopsided four-game sweep in NBA history, but this one was much different. The Hawks led by as many as 18 points while running multiple bodies at Howard all night, and the rest of the Magic failed to step up.

“It’s a seven-game series and anything can happen,” Hawks coach Larry Drew said. “All I wanted us to come in here and do is play hard and maintain our composure. ... I could tell our guys were ready for tonight’s game.”

Howard tied a career high with 46 points, to go along with 19 rebounds. Jameer Nelson had 27 points but no other Orlando player reached double figures.

The Hawks had five players with at least 13 points, earning their fourth straight victory against the Magic and erasing the sting of a six-game losing streak to close the regular season. Al Horford scored 16, Josh Smith had 15 points and eight rebounds and Kirk Hinrich added 13 points.

Game 2 of the best-of-seven series is Tuesday night in Orlando.

Atlanta Hawks’ Jason Collins, left, Al Horford (obscured), back center, and Josh Smith (5) surround Orlando Magic’s Dwight Howard (12) as he goes up for a shot during the second half of Game 1 of a first-round NBA playoff basketball series in Orlando, Fla., Saturday. Collins was called for a foul on the play. times this year and we won three of them. We’re a confident group. I think the last six games of the season people kinda looked down on us because we lost all six. But now we have a plan. It’s coming to fruition and we just have to go out and play together.”

After shooting a dismal 36 percent in the first quarter, the Hawks connected on 30 of their final 52 attempts from the field.

They also shot six of 14 from the three-point line.

“No question it’s different (from last year),” Horford said.

“We’re a different team this year. This year we feel much more confident.”

Magic coach Stan Van Gundy said Atlanta’s strong shooting was too much to overcome and will be the focus of his adjustments going forward, along with reducing turnovers. The Magic had 18 giveaways that led

to 21 Atlanta points.

The Hawks were in control throughout. They carried an 8571 lead into the final period and caught a break when Howard was whistled for his fifth foul with 10:58 to play.

But even with Howard playing less aggressively underneath on defense, Orlando put together a 10-1 run that cut it to 92-83 with 4:40 left.

Howard banked in a hook shot with under two minutes remaining to make it 98-90. But a steal by Smith and three-pointer by Crawford put the Magic back into scramble mode and Atlanta was able to play keepaway the rest of the game.

Howard went 16 for 23 from the field and 14 of 22 from the free-throw line, but he also had eight turnovers. Howard and Nelson combined for 26 of Orlando’s 34 field goals.

Howard scored the Magic’s

first 12 points of the game and had 31 in the first half. His fellow starters and reserve Ryan Anderson combined to miss their first 10 field-goal attempts.

Hedo Turkoglu finally broke the scoring drought for Howard’s teammates with a free throw at the 1:20 mark in the first quarter.

Also on Saturday: Heat . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 97 76ers . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 89 MIAMI — Chris Bosh scored 25 points and grabbed 12 rebounds, LeBron James finished with 21 points and 14 rebounds, and Miami held off a huge Philadelphia rally to beat the 76ers in Game 1 of their Eastern Conference quarterfinal series.

Dwyane Wade scored 17 for Miami, five of those points coming in the final 1:34.

Philadelphia held the Heat scoreless for 4:37 of the fourth quarter and scored 12 straight points to close to 88-87, but never got the lead in the final minutes. Thaddeus Young had 20 points and 11 rebounds for the 76ers, while Jrue Holiday added 19 and Elton Brand finished with 17.

Bulls . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 104 Pacers . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 99 CHICAGO — Derrick Rose scored 39 points, Kyle Korver nailed the go-ahead three-pointer and the top-seeded Bulls rallied from a late 10-point deficit to beat the Pacers in their playoff opener.

Trailing 98-88 late in the game, the Bulls outscored Indiana 16-1 over the final 3:38.

Rose scored seven during that run, including a threepoint play and a floater that tied it at 99 with 1:27 left. He then hit Korver with a crosscourt pass for a three that gave the Bulls their first lead at 102-99 with 48 seconds remaining.

SAN JOSE, Calif. — The talk before Game 2 centered on how much Los Angeles was missing in the middle of the ice. Drew Doughty and Jonathan Quick showed the Kings still had plenty of pieces left even without two of the team’s top centers.

Doughty had two goals and two assists, Quick made 34 saves and the Kings beat the San Jose Sharks 4-0 in Game 2 on Saturday night to even the first-round series at one game apiece.

“We had a lot of adversity before this game with two of our top centers out,” Doughty said. “I guess a lot of people didn’t think we had a chance tonight. I guess we showed those people wrong.

We played a hard, solid team game. That’s what wins you playoff games.”

Jack Johnson and Kyle Clifford also scored for the Kings, who bounced back from an overtime loss in Game 1 despite being without injured Anze Kopitar and suspended Jarret Stoll.

The Sharks took too many undisciplined penalties and were unable to generate many good offensive chances against Quick, drawing the ire of their usually supportive fans who booed the home team sporadically throughout the game. Antti Niemi allowed the four goals on 23 shots to lose for the first time in four postseason starts at the Shark Tank.

“Overall our battle-level just wasn’t that high tonight,” forward Ryane Clowe said. “They really played a pretty desperate game tonight. We didn’t have a lot of hunger around the net.”

Game 3 is Tuesday night in Los Angeles.

The Kings came into the game reeling a bit, having lost the opener 3-2 and then having Stoll suspended for a hit from behind on Sharks defenseman Ian White in Game 1.

But Joe Thornton and the rest of the Sharks were unable to take advantage, and San Jose was shut out in the playoffs for the first time since an overtime loss at Colorado in Game 3 of the first round to Craig Anderson and the Avalanche last season.

“They were a much more competitive team than we were tonight,” coach Todd McLellan said.

“When you are along the boards you have to compete as hard as they do. We weren’t the better team tonight.”

Quick did a good job stopping the initial shots by San Jose and gave the Sharks few rebound opportunities. The shutout by Quick was the first in the postseason for the Kings since Felix Potvin beat Colorado 1-0 in Game 5 of the first round in 2002 and the sixth in franchise history.

“We had a big effort from everyone in the locker room,” Quick said. “At the end of the day, it’s just one win. We need three more to move on. We’re looking forward to Game 3 and look-

In other games on Saturday: Canadiens . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 3 Bruins . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 1 BOSTON — Michael Cammalleri and Mathieu Darche scored in the first 2:20 of the game, and Carey Price stopped 34 shots to lead Montreal to a victory over Boston and give the Canadiens a 2-0 lead in the first-round playoff series.

Boston has never, in 26 tries, won a playoff series after losing the first two games.

Hockey Continued from D1 One consequence of those changes was an increase in high-speed collisions and reported concussions. But a happier outcome was greater space and freedom to create, for players of all sizes.

“I probably wouldn’t have been drafted as high as I was if they hadn’t changed the rules,” Chicago’s Patrick Kane said at this year’s NHL All-Star Game.

Kane, whose 5-10 official listing is probably exaggerated by an inch or two, was the No. 1 overall pick in the 2007 entry draft. He has become a Blackhawks star, status he cemented by scoring the Stanley Cup-winning goal in Game 6 in overtime last June.

“The rules changed, and it became a more offensive game,” Kane said. “Smaller guys are starting to play.”

Smaller players are making a bigger splash these days, it seems, but hockey has always had a place for less-than-gargantuan athletes. As Patrick Swayze said 25 years ago in the film “Youngblood,” a fictional account of junior hockey, “Thank God there’s a sport for middle-sized white boys.”

Hockey rosters are not as overwhelmingly white as they were in 1986. But many of them are still middle-size and small — even as athletes in sports like basketball, baseball and especially football have grown steadily larger.

Small players have starred in hockey since the 1920s heyday of Aurel Joliat and King Clancy, who at 5-7 were not really all that small for that era.

Ted Lindsay, at 5-8, scored and elbowed and brawled his way to 379 goals and 1,808 penalty minutes over 17 seasons.

And no player has won more Stanley Cups than Henri Richard, the 5-7 Canadiens captain known as the Pocket Rocket, who won 11.

“It doesn’t matter what size a player is,” Richard said. “He can be any size, big or small, as long as he is not afraid. I was never afraid. That’s the thing I’ve always said if a player is small. If you’re not afraid, you can play anywhere.”

More recently, the 5-6 Theo Fleury scored 455 goals and won a Stanley Cup and gold medals in international play over a 15-season NHL career.

Although the careers of current small stars like St. Louis, 35, and Gionta, 32, predate the lockout by several seasons, as do those of players like Scott Gomez, Steve Sullivan and Danny Briere, the list of smaller guys making a splash has indeed grown since 2005.

Gerbe shone in the Sabres’ stretch run in which they overtook the Hurricanes and the Rangers to secure the seventh playoff spot in the East, scoring six goals in seven games

from March 13 to 26 before adding a two-goal performance in the clincher against Philadelphia on April 8.

Gerbe scored that spinning backhand goal moments after the Flyers’ Daniel Carcillo condescendingly patted him on the head.

“I’ve heard it since Day 1 in my life — I’ve lived with it, I’ve rolled with it,” Gerbe told reporters before the game. “There are a lot of small players in the league. I’m no different than anyone else.”

Brendan Shanahan, an NHL vice president who helped formulate the rules as a player during the lockout, said he had seen the game change sharply since then.

“I’m just really pleased at the way NHL players have reacted and responded to the new rules that promote skill and speed and entertainment,” Shanahan said.

“But also kids are excelling in the league now who were 13 or 14 years old when we came up with these new rules. You can see that in their development years they weren’t spending them with a guy 30 pounds heavier hooking and holding them and clutching and grabbing them. These young players coming into the game doing things at such a high speed with so much skill, it’s nice to see it hasn’t just helped the NHL — it’s also helped at the grass-roots level.”

Before the lockout, the NHL had a long flirtation with supersizing. In the early 1990s, the league’s top line was the Flyers’ pile-driving Legion of Doom: Eric Lindros at 6-4, John LeClair at 6-3 and Mikael Renberg at 6-2.

The buzzword in those days was power forward, a term borrowed from basketball but meaning something quite different: a big, muscular center or wing who ran opponents into the boards or flattened them in open ice first, and scored goals later.

Nowadays, height does not matter. But Rangers coach John Tortorella scratched the 5-7 forward Mats Zuccarello for Friday’s Game 2 of their series with Washington because he was “not sure” that Zuccarello could handle “the size and overall consistency of playoff hockey.”

Tortorella said he would not rule out returning to Zuccarello.

This season, Tortorella likened Zuccarello to St. Louis, whom he coached when Tampa Bay won the Stanley Cup in 2004.

“I don’t differentiate from playing before and playing now,” Tortorella said of the rule changes.

“It’s just hard to get to those small guys, especially with the quickness that both of them have.”

He continued, sounding much the same theme as Richard.

“The two that I have had, St. Louis and Zucc, they’re not afraid anyway,” Tortorella said. “The guy in Tampa, he had the heart of a lion.”

AUTO RACING: NASCAR

GOLF ROUNDUP

Bayne learns it’s not so easy Rookie Steele takes since his Daytona 500 victory lead at Texas Open The Associated Press

By Paul Newberry The Associated Press

TALLADEGA, Ala. — Trevor Bayne has yukked it up with Ellen and chatted with the vice president.

One thing he hasn’t done is come close to repeating his stunning win in the Daytona 500.

Talk about a reality check.

“I wouldn’t say I’m disappointed,” the 20-year-old Bayne said Saturday, having just crawled from his car after a strong qualifying run at Talladega Superspeedway. “Sure, the standard got raised for us a little bit when we won our second race in the Cup series and our first Daytona 500.

But this year is normal for any new driver coming into a series.”

Indeed, since winning NASCAR’s Super Bowl, he’s turned in a string of finishes that are more in line with someone of his age and experience.

Bayne hasn’t finished higher than 17th in six races since Daytona, but this might be the week for another strong finish. Talladega is NASCAR’s other restrictor-plate track, leading to the same sort of tandem racing he adapted to so well in the season opener.

On Saturday, he was at it again, leading late in the Nationwide race until a late pass by Kyle Busch and a crash on the last lap brought out a finishing yellow. Bayne wound up sixth.

Now, it’s on to the big one.

“I’ve been looking forward to this race for a while now,” Bayne said. “This is fun for me. You’ve kind of got to think through it, be smart with it. It’s a little bit different style of race. There’s not the high intensity, even though you’re running 200 mph hooked to another car. It’s still not the adrenaline rush to me that you get at most other races. You can be more calm, think through things.

It’s a little easier.”

Nothing has been easy for Bayne since Daytona.

The following week, he wrecked at Phoenix and finished 40th. There were a string of three straight finishes in the 30s before he improved to 17th at Texas last weekend.

Bayne is more confident about his chances at Talladega, which is a little longer and wider than Daytona but essentially the same trioval layout, with the same style of two-by-two racing. He’ll start 11th in the Aaron’s 499, the best qualifying effort of his young career, and shouldn’t have any problem finding drivers willing to work with him.

“We’ve got a really good shot here at Talladega, as good as any,” Bayne said. “Our superspeedway program is really good. We’ve got an awesome car.”

It’s not the same machine he had at Daytona; that one is now on display in the track museum.

His new Ford looks different, too, switching to a red-and-yellow paint scheme instead of the throwback Woods Brothers design that was on the car in the season opener.

Four-time Cup champion Jeff Gordon teamed up with Bayne at Daytona, feeling perfectly comfortable leading the way with the kid pushing him from behind, or vice versa when it was time to swap.

“If that scenario pops up again, I’d be thrilled to work with him,

Rainier Ehrhardt / The Associated Press

NASCAR driver Trevor Bayne, right, signs an autograph for a fan during practice for the Aaron’s 499 Sprint Cup series auto race, Friday in Talledega, Ala.

ROUNDUP

Gordon leads Hendrick sweep at Talladega TALLADEGA, Ala. — Jeff Gordon won his 70th career pole to lead a Hendrick Motorsports sweep of the top four spots at Talladega Superspeedway.

Gordon turned a two-lap average of 178.248 mph Saturday for the Aaron’s 499.

He broke a tie for third place on the career list with Cale Yarborough and trails only Richard Petty (123) and David Pearson (113).

Jimmie Johnson begins on the outside of the front row after a qualifying effort of 177.844, followed by Mark Martin (177.807) and Dale Earnhardt Jr. (177.765). The first non-Hendrick starter will be Paul Menard (177.702) of Richard Childress Racing.

Also on Saturday: Kyle Busch tops field in Nationwide race TALLADEGA, Ala. — Kyle Busch won under a yellow flag in a wild finish, taking the Nationwide race at Talladega Superspeedway when the last of 10 crashes sent Mike Wallace’s car flipping upside down.

Busch captured his fourth win in seven Nationwide races — and 47th of his career — on a day when tandem racing produced a series-record 56 lead changes, 11 cautions and two red flags to clean up all the debris.

Even Busch got caught up in the mayhem. He spun out in the biggest crash of the day, a 21-car melee just 28 laps from the scheduled finish of the Aaron’s 312.

Busch drove his battered Toyota onto pit road and figured he was done for the day.

Instead, his crew patched up the damage, yanked off the whether it’s being the pusher or being pushed,” Gordon said. “He did a great job in Daytona. He looks like he’s doing a great job here. He’s got a fast race car as well.”

Gordon’s preference is to stick with his Hendrick Motorsports

pieces they couldn’t fix and sent him back onto the track without losing a lap.

Power on the pole again at Long Beach LONG BEACH, Calif. — Points leader Will Power earned the pole at the Grand Prix of Long Beach, edging defending champion Ryan Hunter-Reay to go three for three on poles this season in IndyCar. Mike Conway, who missed most of last season after a horrific crash at the Indianapolis 500, qualified third and Oriol Servia was fourth.

Vettel takes pole for Chinese GP SHANGHAI — Red Bull driver Sebastian Vettel has claimed pole position for the Formula One Chinese Grand Prix. Vettel earned his third straight pole to start the season, holding an impressive seven-tenths of a second margin over McLaren’s Jenson Button, who qualified ahead of his teammate Lewis Hamilton.

John Force first in Funny Car qualifying CONCORD, N.C. — John Force closed in on the one major NHRA record that he doesn’t hold, taking his 136th career No. 1 qualifier in the NHRA Four-Wide Nationals at zMAX Dragway. Force, the 15-time and defending NHRA Full Throttle Series champion, moved around teammate Robert Hight with a 4.056-second pass at 315.19 mph. Force is just two shy of Pro Stock star Warren Johnson’s record of 138. In Top Fuel, Del Worsham earned the spot with a trackrecord 3.780-second pass at 325.77 mph. In Pro Stock, Jason Line, from Mooresville, N.C., was the top qualifier.

— The Assoc ia ted Press teammates, which is not a bad option. They were dominant during qualifying, becoming only the third team in NASCAR history to sweep the top four spots for a Cup race.

Gordon claimed the 70th pole of his career, with Jimmie Johnson,

Mark Martin and Dale Earnhardt Jr. taking the next three positions.

If nothing else, the Hendrick cars will be lined up perfectly at the start to pair off with each other — Gordon with Martin, Johnson with Earnhardt.

For those who complain that these sort of tag teams aren’t real racing, well, get used to it.

“Let’s get through Talladega with the two-car draft and see what happens. It’s wide here.

There’s a lot of room to race. You might be surprised at how exciting this two-car draft will be,” Gordon said. “It’s different, yeah.

It’s unique, yeah. But it’s here to stay. Sorry. Like it or not, it’s not going anywhere.”

Bayne obviously doesn’t mind tag teaming, though he knows he set an impossible standard at Daytona, something he has no chance of living up to in the short term.

“I’d have to win ’em all. Obviously, we haven’t done that,” he said, breaking into a big smile.

“But that win, I wouldn’t trade it for any of this. It’s just been a little bit of a struggle because this is tough.”

And to think, he made it look so easy at Daytona.

“There’s so much talent out here,” Bayne marveled. “You look around, even when you’re running 20th, and you’ve still got past champions and race winners all around you, guys I’ve looked up to my whole life. There’s no slouches out here.”

Bayne is not even considered a Sprint Cup rookie, choosing to run for the championship in the Nationwide Series. That will allow to contend for the Cup rookie of the year award in 2012.

But he’s picked up a couple of extra races, adding Martinsville and the all-star event at Charlotte to his original 17-race schedule with Wood Brothers.

In the meantime, all those guys he beat at Daytona have been getting a little payback.

“They’re just teaching me a lesson,” Bayne said, “that it’s not always going to be that easy.”

SAN ANTONIO — PGA Tour rookie Brendan Steele birdied Nos. 17 and 18 for a 4-under 68 on Saturday, grabbing sole possession of the Texas Open lead after beginning the day tied with a whopping six other players for the top spot.

The 28-year-old Californian put his third shot within 15 feet on the par-5 18th, then sunk the putt for his sixth birdie — offsetting a pair of bogeys.

“I decided to play it a little more conservative and laid it up, and it paid off,” Steele said of the birdie to end his round.

That late surge was enough for a one-stroke lead over another up-and-comer, secondyear PGA Tour pro Cameron Tringale, who led by two after 16 holes but hooked his tee shot on No. 18 into the deep rough — almost reaching a creek. He recovered on the approach, only to miss a 13-foot putt and settle for a 4-under 68.

“I drove it left. I figured if I hit a good drive ... I’d be able to look at it in two, so I just swung hard,” said Tringale, who played at Georgia Tech and now lives in Las Vegas.

“I laid up to a pretty good yardage and then just misjudged the wind, really,” he said. “Came up short, which was a bad mistake, given all the room behind the hole.”

Third-round winds were calmer but still blew to nearly 30 mph at times, after strong gusts Friday saw the field struggle to a second-round scoring average of 75.289, the highest on Tour since the first-round of the 2008 British Open. Strong winds are forecast once again during today’s final round.

“There’s going to be good shots that don’t end up good and bad shots that end up worse,” Steele said.

Another rookie and Californian, Kevin Chappell (70) and 30-year-old Brandt Snedeker (70) were tied for third at 5 under.

Steele began his round tied

for first at 3 under with Chappell, Snedeker, Geoff Ogilvy, Rich Beem, Kevin Sutherland and Charley Hoffman. The seven-way tie was the most crowded leaderboard on the PGA Tour in a decade. Seven players tied after 36 holes hadn’t been seen on the tour since the 1977 Westchester. The record was an eight-way tie at the 2001 Greater Hartford Open.

Tied for fifth at 4 under are Charles Howell III, defending Texas Open champion Adam Scott (70) and Pat Perez, who tied the mark for Saturday’s best round with a 5-under 67.

Also shooting 67 was Swedenborn Fredrik Jacobson, who finished second to Scott here last year. He is tied for tenth.

Also on Saturday: Cook fires 65 on Champions LUTZ, Fla. — John Cook shot a 6-under 65 to take a one-stroke lead at the Outback Steakhouse Pro-Am. Cook sits at 11-under, one ahead of Russ Cochran. The first-day leader shot a 3-under 68. Jay Don Blake is third, three strokes back.

Cook used accuracy to climb the leaderboard, as he hit 13 of 14 fairways in regulation and birdied four of the back nine holes, including three straight from 12 to 14. He missed a chance at a birdie on 18 when his eight-foot putt came up inches short.

McIlroy still leads in Malaysia KUALA LUMPUR, Malaysia — Rory McIlroy birdied his final hole to take a two-stroke lead in the rain-plagued Malaysian Open.

Overcoming his recent finalround collapse at the Masters, Northern Ireland’s McIlroy moved to 12-under par after nine holes of the third round.

Only a dozen players completed their third round after rain and lightning disrupted hours of play at the Kuala Lumpur Golf and Country Club for the second straight day. Frenchman Gregory Bourdy and Italian teenager Matteo Manasserro were tied for second.

DAVID BROOKS

Ultimate spoiler alert

P

resident Barack Obama and Paul Ryan are two of the smartest, most admirable and most genial men in Washington. It is sad, although not strange, that in today’s Washington they have never had a serious private conversation. The president has never invited Ryan over even for lunch.

As a result, both men are misinformed about the other, and both have developed a cold contempt for the other’s position.

Obama believes Ryan wants to take America back to what he sees as the savage capitalism of the 1920s (or even the 1760s). Ryan believes Obama wants to turn America into a declining European welfare state.

If they met, would they resolve their differences? No, but they would understand them better. Paul Ryan believes five things Barack Obama does not. First, he believes that aging populations, expensive new health care technologies and the extravagant political promises have made the current welfare state model unsustainable. Fundamental reform is necessary or the whole thing will collapse, here and in Europe.

Second, he believes that seniors and the middle class cannot be excused from the benefit cuts that will have to be imposed to rebalance these systems. Third, he believes that health care costs will not be brought under control until consumers take responsibility for their decisions and providers have market-based incentives to reduce prices.

Fourth, he believes that tax increases should not be part of these reforms because the economic costs outweigh the gains. Fifth, he does not believe government can nurture growth and reduce wage stagnation with targeted investments.

Obama, meanwhile, does not believe the current welfare arrangements are structurally unsustainable. They have to be adjusted, but not fundamentally altered. He does not believe the seniors and members of the middle class have to suffer significantly in the course of these adjustments. The approach he outlined Wednesday mostly shields these groups from cuts.

Obama does not believe in relying on market mechanisms to reduce health care costs. Instead, he would rely mostly on a board of technical experts, who would be given power to force their recommendations upon Congress.

Obama believes that tax increases on the rich have to be part of a fiscal package. His approach claims to contain $3 in cuts for every $1 in taxes, but if you count these things the way a normal person would, it’s closer to one to one. Finally, Obama believes that government investments in research and infrastructure nurture broad-based prosperity.

Personally, I agree with Ryan on items one through three and with Obama on items four and five, and I think an acceptable package could be put together to reconcile these views. But I do not believe there is any chance this will happen in the current climate. What’s going to happen is this: We’re going to raise the debt ceiling in a way that fudges the issues. Then we’re going to have an election featuring these rival viewpoints, and Obama will win easily.

It doesn’t take a genius to see that Obama is very likely to be re-elected. Every few years, Republicans try to reform the welfare delivery systems to make them more market-like. Every few years, voters, even Republican voters, reject this.

The situation today is slightly less hostile to these ideas, but not much.

The president, meanwhile, hit the political sweet spot with his speech this week. He made a sincere call to reduce debt, which will please independents, but he did not specify any tough choices. He called for defense cuts and asked the Pentagon to find some. He called for a reduction in tax credits but didn’t point to any that should actually go.

The president is not being cynical about this. He genuinely does believe that seniors and the middle class can be spared from any shared sacrifice.

The coming age of permanent austerity will be terrible for those conventional Democrats and Republicans who propose policies that could pass only if the other party ceased to exist. But it will be a moment of opportunity for us Hamiltonians, who believe, with Ryan, in market mechanisms to allocate resources and control costs and also, with Obama, in government’s ability to selectively nurture prosperity.

The right choice for our students

W

hen Bend parents send their children to school, there’s an unwritten promise that the school district will make the right choices to help students reach

their potential. State cuts mean the district must meet that goal with $15 million less for the 2011-2012 school year. That’s after the district shaves the budget gap by taking $3.6 million from its reserves.

Where will the rest of the cuts be?

And more importantly: Does the district make the right choices?

The district outlined some of the planned cuts for us. Superintendent Ron Wilkinson is scheduled to present a more final budget on April 26.

About $5 million could be saved if the district reaches agreements on no compensation increases and no costof-living increases for all employees.

That includes continuing the seven fewer days for teachers and 10 fewer days for most administrators that the district is operating under now.

Another $1.2 million comes from getting employee groups to agree to no advancement increases for additional experience and education.

Let’s be clear about the $6.2 million in savings from those two changes. It is not a reduction in existing compensation. It’s a stop on increases.

Another $1.85 million will be saved through elimination of positions serving special education and disadvantaged students. They were funded by temporary federal stimulus dollars.

There’s $400,000 in professional development money that could be cut subject to agreement by employee groups.

Holding off on some new technology and science textbooks saves $1.45 million.

That still leaves the district about $5 million short. It’s looking at a combination of cutting eight administrative positions, a number of classified support positions and other options.

One place the district plans to save another $1.2 million is by switching to a new schedule at the high schools and cutting some 20 teachers.

“I can’t find any scenario where we can avoid cutting at least 20 teachers at the high school” level, Wilkinson said.

No other options? Really?

We managed to come up with some.

First, Wilkinson’s.

The district says the switch to a seven-period daily schedule for the 2011-12 year has two main benefits: It saves money and keeps class sizes small. Hopefully, changing schedules frequently is also the best for students, because for many students the new plan will be their third schedule in three years.

This school year, Bend, Mountain View and Summit high schools essentially use a block schedule. They have met each day in four, 90-minute classes each semester. Under Wilkinson’s change, those three move to a sevenperiod semester schedule with all classes each school day. La Pine High

When people talk about education policy, what we hear again and again is “Put children first” or “Let’s do what’s best for students.” Let’s do it. is on a trimester schedule and will also make the switch. Marshall High School’s schedule does not change.

The switch should keep high school class sizes at about 35 students per class.

“That 20 to 22 teachers (laid off) at the high school level is probably the minimum reduction in teachers, that’s a best-case scenario,” Wilkinson told The Bulletin. “So if we have to look at a worst-case scenario and go higher, if teachers stayed on their current schedules it would just become overwhelming how many kids some teachers would face in a week.”

OK. We are going to presume there is a good educational reason Bend schools now has those 20 high school teachers. Might then the right choice be one that keeps them? Why not ask students and parents? Do you believe it would be in the best interest of the students that rather than lay off or eliminate teachers, staff takes a pay cut to keep them?

The total staff salary for all Bend schools employees for the 2011-12 school year is $64,480,000. That would mean a 1.86 percent cut in salary would save $1.2 million and the 20 teachers could be saved, as well.

The total staff salary for all Bend schools teachers for 2011-12 is $40,220,000. It would be about a 3 percent cut in salary for just teachers to save the 20 teachers.

We picked salary, but the same sort of cut could be aimed at benefits or some combination of the two.

Any cut in compensation is bad for morale. It’s bad for retention. It’s bad for recruitment. It also takes the district’s unions to agree to it.

But isn’t it the right choice?

When people talk about education policy, what we hear again and again is “Put children first” or “Let’s do what’s best for students.”

Let’s do it.

Cutting 20 teachers is not the only scenario. It’s hard to argue it’s the best scenario for students. Call the district.

Ask questions. Tell them what you think.

The number is 541-355-1000. You will have a much better chance of getting a person on the phone if you wait until Monday.

My Nickel’s Worth No secession Each issue of the Economist, which covers the world, has at least six or eight countries at war, in revolution, economic distress or with racial genocide. (The April cover says “Islam and the Arab Revolutions.”) Lo and behold, this issue has an article about Arizona wanting to split — a new state called “Baja Arizona.” Some character calling himself a Democrat is initiating it.

He should be drummed out of the party — and the country!

I seem to recall at one time Baja California having similar desires. Bits of Oregon and Washington wanted to join British Columbia to form “Cascadia,” according to the same article. Last fall I met an old friend back East, and he supported a move to have Vermont secede from the U.S. Do any of these eggheads realize what they are proposing? Have they, like I, watched Ken Burns’ “Civil War,” with its 620,000 dead and generations of economic distress? Imagine shooting fellow Arizonans if they tried to enter “your” state. Imagine long lines of trucks, with your food or your products to be sold, not daring to cross state lines.

Imagine no tourist business! Some bloodshed would be inevitable. Don’t laugh — that’s how it all begins. I ask myself, is this really America I’m reading about? Is this the same country I grew up in, struggled through the Great Depression in, spent three years in the Air Force defending in World War II? What will I read about next — the demise of America? Will these cowards (for that is what they are, in my eyes) succeed in doing what Nazi

Germany failed to do in World War II? Is this my America?

Russell Williams Sisters

Illegal immigrants Regarding the article titled “Senate advances immigrant tuition bill” in the Local section of the March 30 edition of the Bulletin: The recent passage of legislation in the Oregon Senate that would allow illegal immigrants to pay in-state tuition rates at state universities seems to fly in the face of logic. Even in the best of financial times, to allow people who are here illegally to attend government-funded institutions, or receive government services or benefits, is questionable at best. To provide them with benefits which supersede those of legal U.S. citizens, in this case students from other states who would pay the higher out-of-state tuition while the illegal immigrants receive the benefit of the greatly reduced in-state tuition, is truly mind-boggling!

The quote by Sen. Suzanne Bonamici, D-Portland — “I’m not willing to deny them an education because of a decision their parents made over which they had no control” — is so far in left field as to be absurd. You would not be denying them an education, you would simply be putting the needs of legal citizens ahead of those of illegal immigrants — is that so hard to fathom?

At a time when deep cuts are being made to critical expenditures (health, public safety, education, etc.) at the federal, state and local levels, I can’t believe that this issue would even be

up for discussion, let alone passed by a state government body.

Just my nickel’s worth.

Jeffrey Olander Bend

Don’t side with polluters Good for the U.S. Senate for rejecting attempts to undercut the Environmental Protection Agency’s efforts to curb the vast amount of carbon pollution spewed every day from power plants, oil refineries and factories. The EPA is trying to do the job Congress and the public asked it to do, limit pollutants like carbon dioxide and methane.

The Clean Air Act, the law that gives EPA the tools to reduce pollution, was enacted to protect public health and welfare. Historically, it has had strong bipartisan support. Carbon emissions are a threat to human health because they lead to a “greenhouse effect” on the planet that increases warming.

Warming temperatures will bring more heat strokes, respiratory diseases and vector-borne diseases, scientists and health care providers agree.

For 40 years, the Clean Air Act has protected human health, cut pollution and spurred innovative pollution-reduction technologies.

I only hope that the members of Congress who are siding with polluter interests, which have spent half a billion dollars campaigning against limits to air pollution in a few years alone, will pull their heads out of the sand so they can see the huge economic, environmental and public health benefits of the Clean Air Act.

We must change our state government or risk staying poor

By Nancy Tomlin Bulletin guest columnist

C

ontrary to Michael Funke, in his letter of March 26, there is no “right” to a job, let alone a goodpaying job. A job is something you have when you agree with an employer as to the work you will do and how much you will be paid for that work.

In the private sector, the I N M Y employer hires employees to produce a product or perform a service. The employer then sells that product or service for the best price buyers are willing to pay. What the employer pays the employee is heavily dependent upon how much the employer gets from the buyer. Funke can lament this all he wants, but if the employer can’t sell the product or service for enough to cover pay and benefits, the employee can’t get paid as much as they want. Even unionized workers are restrained in how much they ask for in pay and benefits or they run the risk of putting the employer out of business.

In the public sector, the employer — the government — has a monopoly.

There is only one government, and it can’t go out of business. Thus, public sector employees don’t have the same restraints on pay and benefits as private sector employees have. The government workers say government should raise taxes to pay for their pay V I E W and benefits. Well, Oregonians have reached their limit — they have no more money. Indeed, they need to pay less tax for less government so they can build their businesses.

Funke and folks like him think they can demand whatever wage they consider fair. It isn’t a matter of “fair.” It’s a matter of how much buyers are willing to pay for goods and services and how much citizens can pay in taxes.

Statewide, the recession has driven down incomes, thereby lowering state income tax revenues. The state has less money to give to local governments; property values are down, impacting

property tax revenues. So let’s be real clear: There is no more money!

Funke talks about how good things were from 1950 to 1980 and how strong unions were. Back then, Europe and Asia were rebuilding after the destruction of World War II. America was economically supreme, but our supremacy couldn’t last once those countries were back on their feet and competing against us. During those golden economic times, the unions demanded more and more until they drove industries into the ground or overseas (steel, ship-building, autos, mining and manufacturing).

Funke also ignores the role played by government’s involvement in more and more of the economy. Starting in the 1960s, we have seen ever more regulatory burdens on our economy. Health care regulation, environmental regulation, worker safety rules, ADA, land use laws, clean energy mandates, all sound good when proposed; but all add more and more burden on the economy. Some actually did some good; for most, the

costs far outweigh the benefits. Example: The city of Bend is paying a fortune to modify curb ramps, many a mere fraction of an inch from the required standard. Example: all the money the city has spent on Juniper Ridge — a great idea for a private developer, but not a city government.

Another example: The Portland metro area has wasted billions of dollars in gas tax revenue on a light rail system that carries less than 5 percent of the commuter traffic.

Yet another example: Oregon politicians have chased industry after industry hoping to strike it rich: high-tech Silicon Forest, biotechnology at OHSU, green energy, movie-making, you name it. If there is a glamorous idea out there, our politicians chase after it with tax breaks and then tax the rest of us to make up the difference.

Still more: Oregon has rigorous environmental and land use regulations.

Our income tax is second-highest in the country. Look what this has done

to our industries, our communities and to our citizens. We always are first into a recession and last out of a recession.

Statewide, and especially in Central Oregon, our unemployment rate has been several percentage points above the national average for years.

Finally, taxing the rich doesn’t work — they either modify their taxable income with charitable giving and other “loopholes” created by politicians or they just leave the state. Take every dollar the rich have, it still would not be enough to pay for all of the so-called “vital needs” people claim we have.

Oregonians will suffer until we change the way we run our state and its economy. We need to reduce or eliminate regulations, lower our taxes, and greatly reduce the size of government at all levels. Or, we can continue to do business the way we have for the last 40 years and stay poor. Anyone need a ride to the food bank?

O Fantasy seems preferable to reality P

resident Barack Obama just gave a belated but stern warning about escalating debt — a few weeks after he presented a 2011 budget with a $1.6 trillion annual deficit, the largest shortfall in American history. Congressional Republicans are now crowing about reducing Obama’s red ink by forcing some $38 billion in cuts. Such supposed slashing means America will borrow just $1,562 billion this year rather than the scheduled full $1,600 billion.

The administration expects that someone will have enough money to float our $4 billion- to $5 billion-a-day loans — either foreigners such as the Chinese, whom we are accustomed to lecturing about their illiberal habits, or our own wealthy, whom Obama so often chides and threatens with higher taxes. Meanwhile, shrill critics of the modest cuts claim that the elderly, poor, sick and helpless will be cast adrift if their government dares to trim its massive borrowing by about 3 percent — or just about 1 percent of this year’s projected $3.7 trillion budget.

Obama borrowed more in the month of February alone ($223 billion) than did the spendthrift George W. Bush during the entire 2007 budgetary year ($163 billion). Obama recently asserted that not authorizing a vast new national debt ceiling would be partisan recklessness.

VICTOR DAVIS HANSON He should know. In 2006, then-Sen. Barack Obama voted not to extend the debt ceiling when he railed against outof-control government spending under the Bush administration. But then, the annual deficit was one-fifth of what it is today. Apparently President Obama lives in an alternate universe from the one Sen. Obama used to inhabit.

Gas is heading toward $4 a gallon nationwide — and might reach $5 by Labor Day. The world price for a barrel of oil is well over $100 — and climbing.

In response, Obama praised Brazil for developing a vast new offshore oil field and promised that the United States would readily buy the oil it produces.

The Obama administration has made it clear that such messy drilling is for others. So, much of Alaska, the American West and our coastal waters will remain off-limits. The logic is that Americans can borrow to buy oil from foreign nations that will drill in their fragile tundra, offshore seas and natural preserves. Apparently the White

House has not much concern about where we are going to get the cash, or how others are going to recover oil offshore more cleanly than we would.

Instead of a detailed plan for tapping more gas, oil, coal, tar sands and oil shale, we still hear infantile chants about “wind, solar and millions of new green jobs.” But solar panels and windmills are not up to fueling the nation’s 250 million passenger cars and trucks anytime soon.

The president announced that he would support the Libyan rebels. He pointed to United Nations and Arab League authorizations to establish a no-fly zone and stop the killing of Moammar Gadhafi’s opponents. Helping the rebels win means using force to remove Gadhafi. Yet regime change is a mission that we insist is not our goal and would not be authorized by the international bodies to which we subordinate ourselves.

In truth, the Obama administration intervened without knowing who or what the Libyan rebels were, apparently on the theory that they were close to winning and seemed a far better option than Gadhafi. The first premise proved wrong; the second could be true but is still subject to debate. So we took a breather and just quit military operations, hoping the Libyan mess would just go away in the same way that bad

dictators voluntary left Egypt and Tunisia.

The government is no longer supposed to use hurtful vocabulary like “war on terror,” “Islamic terrorism” or “jihadist.” But some unnamed groups are still apparently trying to kill us.

Otherwise, why would the White House keep the demonized Guantánamo Bay facility open? And for what purpose, and against whom, are we still employing the once-hated military tribunals, renditions and preventative detention?

Fantasy apparently seems preferable to reality. In our new dream world, borrowed money need not be paid back.

Cars run on nasty gas that is produced in faraway places. Mean dictators should flee when told to leave. And radical Muslims are not really trying to kill us.

Like children, we turn on any spoilsport parent who nags us to stop borrowing, cut entitlements and government spending, start drilling and building power plants, get real about dictators in the Middle East, and keep vigilant against radical Islamic terrorists.

So we will keep dreaming until creditors, oil exporters, enemies or terrorists wake us up.

MAUREEN DOWD called out anyone. I was too busy trying to ingratiate myself with the doctors, nurses and orderlies, irrationally hoping that they’d treat my brother better if they liked us.

Commenting on the new report on hospital errors, CNN’s senior medical correspondent, Elizabeth Cohen, instructed viewers to “ask doctors and nurses to wash their hands” if they haven’t.

“They sometimes will actually give you a hard time, believe it or not,” she said, “and they say, ‘My gloves are on.

I’m clean.’ ‘Well, I didn’t see you put those gloves on. What if you put those on with dirty hands?’ ” I called Cohen, the author of “The Empowered Patient,” to ask her the best way to confront those taking care of you or family members. She said that you have to get over the “waiter spitting in your soup scenario,” that the medical professionals will somehow avenge themselves, by giving less attention, if you insult them.

“There are all sorts of reasons we default to being quiet,” she said. “It is general etiquette not to correct another adult, especially when this is their profession. But when the consequences are so grave, you have to summon up your courage.” You could say that you are a germaphobe, she suggested, and ask if

they could please just indulge you.

Dr. Peter Pronovost of Johns Hopkins has been able to prove in a national program that you can curb infections and reduce mortality rates in ICUs by adhering to checklists, creating accountability and fostering a culture in which patients, their families and even nurses and residents feel freer to challenge doctors.

“There’s no doubt that it’s really difficult to question physicians,” Pronovost says. “It’s hard even for me when my wife or my kids are ill. Many clinicians aren’t the most welcoming. They give verbal or nonverbal clues to say, ‘Hey, I have the answer.’ We just need to change the culture. The patient really is the North Star.”

I decided to work up my courage to give orders to unmindful doctors by starting with another group that has you at their mercy: cabdrivers.

They, too, can imperil our lives by being heedless. Their constant yammering on cellphones can be just as dangerous as drunken driving, whether the calls are on handheld or hands-free devices.

M

TRUDY RUBIN land, and U.S. Special Forces have shredded its midlevel command structure. The problem is political: Our troops can clear the Taliban, but the Afghan forces we’re training can’t hold the terrain, and President Hamid Karzai’s corrupt government can’t (or won’t) build up the country. In a phone interview, West said: “When you put more Americans in there, there is progress. But what difference (will) it make when the Americans aren’t there?”

As for a solution, however, West offers only three pages at the end of a 300-page volume, confirming that it’s easier to describe the problem than come up with a comprehensive answer.

His plan in a nutshell: Cut back on expensive efforts to build up Afghanistan’s economic and democratic institutions.

Focus mainly on building Afghan security forces. Remove half of our 100,000 troops, and transition most of the rest into a tough adviser corps that embeds with and trains the Afghan army, backed by a large U.S. air presence. Then let the Afghans do their own fighting against the Taliban. Of course, the Afghan ar-

my’s high illiteracy and attrition rates have undercut previous U.S. training efforts.

West says he believes the Afghan army can still be shaped up, pointing to the 2010 battle for Marja, where U.S. Special Forces and a Marine support team embedded with an Afghan battalion and helped that unit fight well.

However, he says, to replicate this success story would require a dedicated U.S. Army and Marine adviser corps that pulled “the best officers from conventional battalions.” Service commanders have been reluctant to do this, or to reward those officers who have served as advisers. Moreover, these advisers might be required for years until Afghan forces “are as fierce in battle as the Taliban.”

Do we really believe the Afghan army could achieve this level? Gen. David Petraeus has long argued it will find its legs only after the security situation is more stable, contending that if we leave too soon it might crumble altogether.

West concedes that — as U.S. combat troops exit — larger sections of the countryside are likely to fall under Taliban control. This is already happening in Nuristan and Kunar provinces, where U.S. outposts have been shut down.

He says Kabul, and other large cities, wouldn’t fall to the Taliban: If the jihadis massed for attack, they could be stopped

by U.S. air power. I wonder how supply lines to the cities would be maintained if the Taliban controlled the outlying ar-

W

eas. Unless there is some kind of political deal with the Taliban, this scenario does not seem real.

Indeed, Karzai and U.S. officials now say there are preliminary talks with the Taliban about negotiations. But West dismisses the current prospects for such talks (for reasons I agree with).

“Negotiations ratify strength on the battlefield, not the other way around,” he writes. “Under current circumstances, negotiations do not offer … a safe way out of Afghanistan.”

So the Bing West formula is basically a gamble: that we can shape up the Afghan army, against all odds, even as our combat troops head for the exit.

His formula doesn’t differ that much from what I’m hearing from administration sources, who want Afghan troops to take on more responsibility soonest — and hope talks with the Taliban will splinter its leadership and persuade some of them to make deals.

Obama will have to decide soon between these bad choices: Leave most combat troops for another year, buying more time to weaken (or bargain with) the Taliban; or pull them sooner and pray that the Afghans can manage.

Neither choice looks promising. Like everyone else, I’m still looking for the magic option that doesn’t risk a Taliban takeover and a new civil war.

of Orthopaedic Surgeons and the Orthopaedic Trauma Association have started a campaign against distracted driving. “Orthopedists would do very well, thank you,” she wrote, “without the business generated by the 307,369 crashes that have occurred so far this year.”

The other day, I finally asked a driver who was absorbed in animated conversation to hang up. But on my next cab ride when the same thing happened, I lost my nerve. I had read that Alec Baldwin was, not surprisingly, a master at demanding that cabdrivers get off their phones. I called and asked for some pointers.

“I tell them to shut off the radio, get off the phone and post their license, because very often the man driving the cab is not the guy on the license,” he said. “If you get in a cab you don’t feel comfortable in, get out of that cab.”

I told Baldwin that I would start giving orders, when necessary, to cabdrivers and clinicians, even though I feared their wrath.

Exit from Afghanistan may be a gamble ost analysts — of all political persuasions — have concluded the U.S. strategy in Afghanistan isn’t working — and costs too much to be sustained much longer. Yet no one has produced a formula for a speedy exit that doesn’t risk chaos — or worse.

This leaves us stuck. President Obama has pledged to start pulling U.S. troops out of Afghanistan this summer, with an eye toward withdrawing most forces by 2014. But, in talks with U.S. and Afghan leaders and experts, I’ve yet to hear an exit plan that doesn’t risk returning Afghanistan to civil war and/or Taliban domination, while further destabilizing nuclear-armed Pakistan next door.

So I turned with interest to a muchtouted book by military analyst Bing West with a promising title: “The Wrong War: Grit, Strategy, and the Way Out of Afghanistan.”

West is a Marine combat veteran who served as assistant secretary of defense in the Reagan administration. Unlike so many armchair military pundits, this 70year-old embedded with dozens of frontline U.S. units in southern and eastern Afghanistan, humping up mountains and enduring firefights and dysentery.

He writes in gripping prose about the heroic, but often thwarted, efforts of U.S. soldiers.

West says he believes our counterinsurgency strategy is failing, even though a surge of U.S. troops has pushed the Taliban back from its southern heart-

Pray, hope and prepare for Arab democracy hen I was in Cairo during the Egyptian uprising, I wanted to change hotels one day to be closer to the action and called the Marriott to see if it had any openings. The young-sounding Egyptian woman who spoke with me from the reservations department offered me a room and then asked: “Do you have a corporate rate?” I said, “I don’t know. I work for The New York Times.” There was a silence on the phone for a few moments, and then she said: “Can I ask you something?” Sure.

“Are we going to be OK? I’m worried.”

I made a mental note of that conversation because she sounded like a modern person, the kind of young woman who would have been in Tahrir Square. We’re just now beginning to see what may have been gnawing at her — in Egypt and elsewhere.

Let’s start with the structure of the Arab state. Think about the 1989 democracy wave in Europe. In Europe, virtually every state was like Germany, a homogenous nation, except Yugoslavia. The Arab world is exactly the opposite. There, virtually every state is like Yugoslavia — except Egypt, Tunisia and Morocco.

That is to say, in Europe, when the iron fist of communism was removed, the big, largely homogenous states, with traditions of civil society, were able to move relatively quickly and stably to more self-government — except Yugoslavia, a multiethnic, multireligious country that exploded into pieces.

In the Arab world, almost all these countries are Yugoslavia-like assemblages of ethnic, religious and tribal groups put together by colonial powers — except Egypt, Tunisia and Morocco, which have big homogeneous majorities. So when you take the lid off these countries, you potentially unleash not civil society but civil war.

That is why, for now, the relatively peaceful Arab democracy revolutions are probably over. They have happened in the two countries where they were most able to happen because the whole society in Tunisia and Egypt could pull together as a family and oust the evil “dad” — the dictator. From here forward, we have to hope for “Arab evolutions” or we’re going to get Arab civil wars. The states most promising for evolution are Morocco and Jordan, where you have respected kings who, if they choose, could lead gradual transitions to a constitutional monarchy.

Syria, Libya, Yemen and Bahrain, countries fractured by tribal, ethnic and religious divisions, would have been ideal for gradual evolution to democracy, but it is probably too late now. The initial instinct of their leaders was to crush demonstrators, and blood has flowed. In these countries, there are now so many pent-up grievances between religious communities and tribes — some of which richly benefited from their dictatorships while others were brutalized by them — that even if the iron fist of authoritarianism is somehow lifted, civil strife could easily trample democratic hopes.

Could anything prevent this? Yes, extraordinary leadership that insists on burying the past, not being buried by it.

The Arab world desperately needs its versions of South Africa’s Nelson Mandela and F.W. de Klerk — giants from opposing communities who rise above tribal or Sunni-Shiite hatreds to forge a new social compact. The Arab publics have surprised us in a heroic way. Now we need some Arab leaders to surprise us with bravery and vision. That has been so lacking for so long.

Another option is that an outside power comes in, as America did in Iraq, and as the European Union did in Eastern Europe, to referee or coach a democratic transition between the distrustful communities in these fractured states. But I don’t see anyone signing up for that job.

Absent those alternatives, you get what you got. Autocrats in Syria, Yemen, Libya and Bahrain shooting their rebels on the tribal logic of “rule or die.” Meaning: Either my sect or tribe is in power or I’m dead.

Make no mistake where my heart lies.

I still believe this Arab democracy movement was inevitable, necessary and built on a deep and authentic human quest for freedom, dignity and justice. But without extraordinary leadership, the Arab transitions are going to be much harder than in Eastern Europe. Pray for Germanys. Hope for South Africas. Prepare for Yugoslavias.

Giving doctors orders? It can be done WASHINGTON — hen my brother went into the hospital with pneumonia, he quickly contracted four other infections in the intensive care unit.

Anguished, I asked a young doctor why this was happening. Wearing a white lab coat and blue tie, he did a show-and-tell. He leaned over Michael and let his tie brush my sedated brother’s hospital gown.

“It could be anything,” he said. “It could be my tie spreading germs.”

I was dumbfounded. “Then why do you wear a tie?” I asked. He shrugged and left for rounds.

Michael died in that ICU. A couple of years later, I read reports about how neckties and lab coats worn by doctors and clinical workers were suspected as carriers of deadly germs. Infections kill 100,000 patients in hospitals and other clinics in the U.S. every year.

A 2004 study of New York City doctors and clinicians discovered that their ties were contagious with at least one type of infectious microbe. Four years ago, the British National Health System initiated a “bare below the elbow” dress code barring ties, lab coats, jewelry on the hands and wrists, and long fingernails.

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention says that health care workers, even doctors and nurses, have a “poor” record of obeying hand-washing rules.

A report in the April issue of Health Affairs indicated that one out of every three people suffers a mistake during a hospital stay.

I saw infractions of the rules in the ICU where Michael died, but I never

Why has “War Horse” broken out in such a big way? The story resonates now more than when it was written, perhaps because of the era we live in. “In 1982 the only war in Britain was the Cold War,” Morpurgo said. “But times have changed in the last 15 to 20 years. War does seem to be endemic. When it’s possible to do it, we seem to do it. It never ceases to amaze me that we fall into that trap again and again.”

TRADE

LONDON — Before it was made into a hit West End play, before it was bound for Broadway, before it was set to be Steven Spielberg’s next big movie, “War Horse” was a slim, powerful children’s book about a young man and his beloved horse on the front lines of World War I. Published in 1982, the book was a “huge nonevent” at the time, according to its author, Michael Morpurgo; it drew better reviews than his earlier works but relatively little sales. It was nominated for a big national prize, which it did not win. Morpurgo, transported to the ceremony in a limousine, found that the car had mysteriously dematerialized during the evening; he left by subway.

Undaunted, he kept writing and publishing, sometimes two or three books a year (he has now written more than 120), and his reputation grew. From 2003 to 2005 Morpurgo was Britain’s third children’s laureate (a post similar to that of poet laureate, but for children’s literature), an honor befitting someone who had become one of the country’s best loved and most visible children’s authors. But while many of his books were hits, “War Horse” seemed destined for noble semiobscurity. “If sales ever reached 1,500 copies a year, I would be surprised,” Morpurgo said.

But that all changed in 2007, when a dramatic version of “War Horse” opened at the National Theater. Starring, as the horses, life-size puppets created by the Handspring Puppet Co. of South Africa, the play was a huge, emotional triumph, leaving audiences wrung out and weeping. It transferred to the West End, where it is still selling out. It opened Thursday at Lincoln Center Theater in New York. And in December the film version, directed by Spielberg and starring the British actors Jeremy Irvine, Benedict Cumberbatch and Emily Watson (and a cast of real horses) is set to open in the United States.

The cause of all this excitement is 67 years old, acutely modest and delightfully chatty, able to turn almost any observation into an entertaining anecdote.

Dressed the other day in a beret, rumpled Nantucket-red pants and a matching Nantucket-red safaristyle jacket (equally rumpled), he seemed alternately thrilled, surprised and amused by what had befallen a book he wrote so many years, and so many books, ago.

He had his doubts about whether “War Horse” would work onstage. When he first heard of the plans to use puppets, he said, he thought it sounded disastrous, “like a joke.” But he calmed down when he saw the result: life-size puppets that move, whinny, startle and nuzzle so much like real horses, they seem to be fully realized characters.

Morpurgo’s novels, set all around the world, tend to focus on some favorite themes: humans’ extraordinary bond with animals, children’s courage in adversity, and the power and

pacifism, is written from the point of view of Joey the horse.

It was inspired, in part, by a series of conversations Morpurgo had had years ago in his village, Iddesleigh, in Devon, with an elderly man who had served in a cavalry unit in World War I. “He told me with tears in his eyes that the only person he could talk to there — and he called this horse a person — was his horse,” Morpurgo said. From the Imperial War Museum, Morpurgo learned that between 1 million and 2 million British horses had been sent to the front lines in the first World War, and that only 65,000 or so had come back. He resolved to write about them but struggled to find the right voice.

Then one evening he was at the farm he and his wife run in Devon, where poor children come to work with animals.

(There are now three in Britain, and one in Vermont.) He was passing through the stable yard when he saw one of the children, a troubled boy who had a bad stutter and had not uttered a word in school in two years, standing head to head with a horse.

“He started talking,” Morpurgo recalled. “And he was talking to the horse, and his voice was flowing. It was simply unlocked.

And as I listened to this his boy telling the horse everything he’d done on the farm that day, I suddenly had the idea that of course the horse didn’t understand every word, but that she knew it was important for her to stand there and be there for this child.”

That became Joey’s role in “War Horse” — observer and witness as much as protagonist.

Morpurgo’s books have been set in jungles, on islands and in communities torn up by the Arab-Israeli conflict and by the 2004 tsunami. His most recent book, “Shadow,” tells the story of an Afghan boy who flees to Britain, only to be put in a detention center as he fights to stay in the country. One of Morpurgo’s many campaigns has been to end the practice of incarcerating children in such centers.

He is in demand as a speaker and an advocate for, among other things, libraries, literacy and the rights of children. But it may well be that “War Horse” is his defining piece of work.

“All this should have happened 30 years ago,” he said recently. “It’s all come at completely the wrong time. But better late than never — although I don’t think my wife thinks so, sometimes.”

Andrew Testa / New York Times News Service

Michael Morpurgo’s 1982 book “War Horse” has risen from semi-obscurity to become a hit play that is now about to open in New York and is also set to be a Steven Spielberg film.

The dangerous strait between Washington Island and the point of Wisconsin’s peninsula is strewn with shipwrecks and believed to be haunted with the souls of lost sailors and overconfident swimmers. French settlers to the area named the place “Porte des Morts,” or Death’s Door.

Set in Door County, Wis., even the title of Brian Freeman’s “The Bone House” conjures images of exposed skeletons, decayed bodies and death.

“Painted over with thick coats of bitterness and bile,” Harris and Nettie Bone’s house looms at the end of a lonely rural lane on Kangaroo Lake.

The house’s fiery destruction smolders at the center of this scorching suspense novel that will have extra appeal for readers who have spent time wandering the “candle shops and cafes” of the peninsula.

Everything in the story has a connection to the life and death of Glory Fischer, the only survivor of the Bone house fire. Hiding in the barn, feeding a stray, 10-year-old Glory witnesses Nettie Bone and her sons burned to death.

Six years later, on a Florida beach, Glory is murdered.

The Bone house fire, like the novel’s plot, is “unpredictable” and “twisting,” its unanswered questions and lingering secrets affecting the lives of the novel’s ensemble of compelling characters.

Mark Bradley and his wife, Hilary, moved from the suburbs of Chicago to Washington Island “for a quieter life.”

Recently dismissed from his teaching job after an accusation of sleeping with a student, Bradley is being smothered by a caul of suspicion and anger.

Cab Bolton, the detective

who trails the investigation from Florida to Wisconsin, is perceived as a “spoiled beach bum” with a celebrity mother and a comfortable trust fund.

Instead he’s a flawed man using his wealth to keep the world at a distance. Each character has a detailed backstory, and although I liked Bolton’s GQ style and his cynical sensibilities, I thought his backstory (about the death of his wife) distracted from the main plot powering the suspense.

Fans of Freeman’s Jonathan Stride series set in Duluth already know that the relationship between person and place is a hallmark of Freeman’s writing.

This stand-alone is no exception. The “ship-ina-bottle world” of Door County’s landscape, the raw beauty of the Lake Michigan coast, the remoteness of harbor towns like Fish Creek (despite being “choked with tourists in August”) are all captured beautifully, and, more importantly, mirror the emotional lives of the characters. The Bradleys, for example, like their house on Washington Island, are “cut off from civilization, isolated and empty.”

In the end, “The Bone House” more than lives up to its evocative title, and I’d like to see Freeman visit Death’s Door again.

‘Species Seekers’ delves Ex-St. Louis Cardinal Bill White into history of discovery connects in memoir ‘Uppity’

Short on characters In covering such a vast sweep of natural history, Conniff gives

Plenty of anecdotes

short shrift to many of the individual characters and their exploits. There is frustratingly little, for instance, about Charles Darwin’s voyage on the HMS Beagle. But what Conniff does include is well worth reading, including an excellent analysis of the interaction between Alfred Russel Wallace (whom Conniff calls the greatest field biologist of the 19th century) and Darwin in developing a theory of evolution.

Whereas Darwin spent years collecting his thoughts about how species adapted and changed over time in response to their environments, Wallace came to many of the same conclusions in a burst of inspiration. In 1858, collecting specimens in the Spice Islands near Papua New Guinea, Wallace was forced to his bed with a bout of malaria. He spent the time reflecting on what he had observed in the field and, he later wrote, it “suddenly flashed upon me … in every generation the inferior would inevitably be killed off and the superior would remain — that is the fittest would survive.”

Wallace quickly sketched out his ideas about how the survival of the fittest over time would cause the extinction of some species at the same time new ones emerged. When finished, he sent his ideas off to Darwin, with whom he had developed a correspondence.

Darwin was deeply shaken on receiving Wallace’s treatise.

“All my originality,” he lamented in a note to a colleague, “whatever it may amount to, will be smashed.” Instead, his scientific friends moved swiftly to set up a joint presentation of the two men’s ideas before London’s prestigious Linnean Society. In their introduction, Darwin’s colleagues made clear that while the two men had “independently and unknown to one another, conceived the same very ingenious theory,” Darwin, they let it be known, was the deeper thinker, the true theoretician who had first come to the ideas and devel-

Conniff’s book is filled with rogues and heroes, and their overlapping explorations make for entertaining reading. The socalled Long expedition of 1819, the first government-sponsored exploration of the American West to include trained naturalists on the team, began mapping the tributaries of the Mississippi and Missouri rivers before starting overland to the Rockies.

Thomas Say, one of America’s most skilled zoologists, led the expedition’s scientific mission, and it wasn’t always easy to convince his companions of the worth of his endeavors. At one point, bringing what he believed to be a new species of deer back to camp, he was forced to sketch it quickly before his hungry fellow explorers butchered it. He had wanted to take it back intact.

Still, he “was able to introduce America to some of its most iconic animals, among them, the coyote, the swift fox, the great plains wolf, the lazuli bunting and the orange-crowned larkspur.”

Say often found, however, that he had been beaten to the discovery of Western species “by a brilliant crackpot” named Constantine Rafinesque, who was everything Say despised in an amateur naturalist. He was slapdash and had little formal training, but he possessed a zeal for discovering and naming new species, and on more than one occasion Say carefully described what he believed to be something entirely new only to discover that Rafinesque had dashed off a far inferior report of the species previously.

In the end, the anecdotes Conniff tells, though often fragmented, are more effective than the narrative connecting them. Still, the stories are more than enough to make this ambitious book well worth reading. It’s easy to think that the great discoveries have all been made, that the 18th- and 19th-century naturalists, by arriving at the party first, got all the goodies.

But Conniff dispels that notion. “(E)ven today,” he writes, “with the total of known species pushing 2 million, new species continue to turn up almost everywhere, at times much closer than most of us care to contemplate.” And with an estimated 50 million more species yet to be discovered, he says, “we still live in the great age of discovery.”

Author presents IRS agents in a complex, humorous light “The Pale King”

by David Foster Wallace (Little, Brown, 548 pgs., $27.99)

By Sam Thielman Newsday

There are two or three deeply compelling reasons not to read David Foster Wallace’s “The Pale King.”

First, it’s about life among agents of the Internal Revenue Service, and boredom is one of its primary themes. Second, it’s unfinished — Wallace’s editor and friend Michael Pietsch constructed it from thousands of pages of notes and drafts recovered from the writer’s home after he died in 2008. Third (or perhaps 2a), since the author’s finished writing is already so maddeningly hard to read, tackling this incomplete novel is a little like doing a Saturday crossword puzzle to which only the “Down” clues are available.

When you actually sit down with the thing, though, none of this matters. “The Pale King” represents Wallace’s effort, through humor, digression and old-fashioned character study, to present IRS agents — soulless bureaucrats, in the mind of the American taxpayer — as not merely souled, but complexly so. He succeeds, profoundly, and the rest of the book’s intellectual content is

gravy. Yes, parts are difficult, but “boring” never comes into it. And it’s very, very funny.

Wallace embodied all kinds of improbabilities. His second novel, “Infinite Jest” (1996), was a vast 1,104 pages, every one of them a smoke-coming-out-ofthe-ears tug-of-war between the reader and the author — and it became a best-seller. He filled his theory-laden prose with humor of every description, high and low. His journalism was arguably as accomplished as his fiction. He was well-liked by his students at Pomona College (where he taught English) and the prickliest of fellow writers.

(Richard Katz, a character in Jonathan Franzen’s “Freedom,” is in part a memorial tribute to him.) Three years ago in September, Wallace, after a lifetime of battling depression, hanged himself.

“The Pale King” follows the lives of several IRS auditors who work together in Illinois in the 1980s, among them Claude Sylvanshine, a “fact psychic” whose daily life is peppered with bits of unknowable personal trivia about the people around him that enter his mind unbidden; Lane A. Dean, Jr., who joins the IRS to support his infant son and wife, whom he married despite reservations;

and a tremendously disagreeable twerp named “David Foster Wallace.”

The “Wallace” character presented to the reader is a small, catty brat who is very much into himself. But this Wallace (the anti-Wallace, as the writer was, by all accounts, a nice guy) is at his witty best when making uncharitable observations about fellow IRS employees. He’s also a gentle poke at the reader’s own self-regard, especially when Wallace (the real one) confronts us with a story that gives a bird’s-eye view of one character’s complicated, difficult life after “Wallace” (twerp) has belittled him.

Ultimately, it’s the digressions that really stick with you. A philosophical exchange among at least three men in a stalled elevator contains some of the book’s best and most trenchant observations; another section follows in perfect detail the conflicting desires that tear apart a young evangelical who has gotten his girlfriend pregnant.

Wallace possessed an astonishing ability to mimic trains of thought with prose — here, though, he’s using that gift to explore the limits of boredom, beyond which, he suggests, lies peace — if we can grapple with it long enough.

ball management didn’t send young black players to Northern cities. White had, of course, witnessed racism in Ohio, but the brand he saw in the South seared him, and he writes powerfully of its impact on him.

His skills made his stay in the minors short; in 1956, he was in New York City playing for the Giants and learning from Willie Mays.

White did a two-year stint in the Army and, when he rejoined the Giants, they were in San Francisco and Orlando Cepeda owned White’s position, first base. Waiting in the minors was Willie McCovey. Surely, that’s the greatest collection ever of first basemen in one organization.

White saw the writing on the wall and asked for a trade.

Giants general manager Chub Feeney, not used to players — particularly black ones — advising him on personnel moves, traded him to St. Louis.

White writes: “At the time, St. Louis was the worst city in the league for black players.

We couldn’t stay at white hotels there, and couldn’t eat in the white restaurants.”

A few paragraphs later, though, White says, “Eventually it would turn out to be one of the best moves in my life.”

White’s hitting blossomed under the tutelage of Cardinal coach Harry Walker. He devel-

As prehistoric cave drawings attest, humans have been fascinated by other species since earliest times. But it wasn’t until the 18th century that a comprehensive, science-based system for identifying and classifying them was developed. For that we can thank Carl Linnaeus, a Swedish botanist and physician, who first devised a pyramid of categories — including kingdom, class, order, genus and species — into which all life forms could fit.

Linnaeus’ “Systema Naturae,” published in 1735, got many things wrong, but it was still revolutionary. As Richard Conniff writes in “The Species Seekers: Heroes, Fools and the Mad Pursuit of Life on Earth,” the “ability to distinguish one species from another and to sort out the relationships among species was … a critical advance for understanding life on earth.” It also, he writes, inspired a great age of discovery, in which a new type of naturalist traveled the globe in search of previously unidentified life forms. In the course of collecting and cataloguing plant and animal species, humans “stumbled from the security of a world centered on our species, created for our comfort and salvation, to a world in which we are one of many species.”

The 18th- and 19th-century naturalists at the center of this highly readable book were often arrogant adventure seekers, desirous of the status that came with putting their names on previously undiscovered species.

But even though they were rarely driven by pure science, many of them were intensely interested in getting things right and in understanding how species fit into their ecosystems.

Though Linnaeus fervently believed that God was responsible for the creation of each and every species, his disciples inevitably began to question that notion. Fossils suggested an array of species that no longer existed (although, as Conniff notes, Thomas Jefferson was convinced that mammoths probably still roamed the vast, largely unexplored West). The questions of the 18th-century naturalists led to new ways of thinking, and to a rejection of long-held assumptions about the natural world.

This in turn led to the 19th century’s theory of evolution.

Bill White’s memoir is like one of his line drives — solid and direct.

White, who played eight seasons for the Cardinals, spends no time rhapsodizing about the game. Even if he had liked Fay Vincent, which he did not, White never would have been included in the former commissioner’s oral history, “We Would Have Played the Game For Nothing.”

White approached the game as a job and believes he was a better player for it.

In “Uppity,” he writes: “Being analytical, and emotionally detached, I was never nervous in the batter’s box or on the field.

I gave a 100 percent effort, and if I didn’t get some kind of emotional high when I did well, on the flip side I wasn’t emotionally battered when I failed.”

White no doubt picked up some of that attitude from his mother and grandmother, who valued academics over sports.

Grandma, standing 4 feet 11 inches tall, dominated White’s extended family, which in the late 1930s migrated from the Florida Panhandle to Warren, Ohio, where the men found work in the steel mills.

White excelled in the classroom, enough to be offered a scholarship to Columbia University. Instead, he enrolled at nearby Hiram College because of its fine pre-med program.

White played enough baseball to earn a tryout with the New York Giants, and though his mother probably never forgave him for leaving college behind, White signed a contract for $2,500.

White’s first minor league stop was in Danville, Va., where he was the only black player in the Carolina League. Years later, White would wonder why base-

oped lasting friendships with the likes of Bob Gibson, and he began taking a leadership role on racial issues.

Though St. Louis was not without its racial faults (White needed the help of general manager Bing Devine and public relations executive Al Fleishman to buy a house), White directs real ill will toward St. Petersburg, Fla., where the Cardinals trained.

Black players could not stay at the team’s hotel, the Vinoy Park, and could not eat in most restaurants. White blew up when the St. Pete Chamber of Commerce invited all of the white players, including those who hadn’t even made the team, but none of the black players to an annual breakfast.

White told an Associated Press reporter how he felt, and the story went nationwide. A newspaper in East St. Louis suggested a boycott of beer produced by the team’s owner, Anheuser-Busch.

Because of the public pressure, the Cardinals moved out of the Vinoy Park, and the Chamber of Commerce invited the black players to the breakfast. White declined the invitation.

Most of the rest of White’s book moves to New York City, where White joined Phil Rizzuto in calling Yankee games, and where he served five years as president of the National League.

His view of Vincent, under whom he served, and the baseball’s owners is gimlet-eyed. His take on the owners really did not change from his playing days.

“I realized early on that to them any individual player was just a piece of meat,” White wrote of his playing days. “They would keep you on as long as you were useful, but the minute you weren’t, you’d be gone — and it wouldn’t matter what you had done in the past, or if you had a sick child at home, or if you were broke and had nowhere to go.”

White’s book is a must-read for Cardinals fans, particularly those of a certain age. But his story of grit and integrity in the face of adversity deserves a much wider audience.

oped them most thoroughly. The 1858 presentation caused surprisingly little stir. As Conniff notes, “The society’s president went home muttering about the lack of any ‘striking discoveries’ that year. And so began the greatest revolution in the history of science.”

Wars Continued from F1 Simply to defend core national security interests, the Western allies might have been better off this time concentrating on threats in North Korea, Pakistan or Yemen. (After the United States invaded Iraq, Condoleezza Rice reportedly warned President George W. Bush about Darfur: “I don’t think you can invade another Muslim country during this administration, even for the best of reasons.”) If Western strategists saw a more complex interest in furthering the democratic impulses of the Arab revolutions, Libya still may not have seemed of paramount importance compared with, say, Egypt or Tunisia.

But what seemingly counted most in Libya was that civilians in Benghazi might, as Obama said last month, “suffer a massacre that would have reverberated across the region and stained the conscience of the world.”

DARFUR

A woman stands in front of her makeshift home in an area for new arrivals at the ZamZam internally displaced people’s camp outside El Fasher, the administrative capital of North Darfur, in 2008. More than 200,000 people have died in Darfur and 2.5 million have fled to refugee camps since 2003. The United Nations, along with an African Union peacekeeping unit, tried to stave off the violence.

Taking sides

Good intentions This raises the first inevitable problem: Since the goal is the defense of humanity, and there are humans facing violence in many places, how do you intervene in one spot and not another without drawing accusations of hypocrisy? After all, horrific mass atrocities happen all over the world; there are other countries that have endured worse slaughter than Libya without eliciting Western interventions. As the writer David Rieff has noted, during debates about rescue in the Balkans in the 1990s, skeptics would say, “I’ll see your Bosnia, and raise you one East Timor.”

Obama has rightly said that the duty to rescue endures, even though “America cannot use our military wherever repression occurs.” Yet this offers only the beginning of an answer. Why strike in Libya but not do more for Congo, or Ivory Coast (where up to 1 million people have fled post-election violence), or Bahrain, for that matter, where the United States has largely stood behind the monarchy as it crushes peaceful protesters? Moreover, other critics will inevitably ask, if the threat to innocent human life in Libya was so great that it justified emergency violations of national sovereignty, then why settle for half-measures such as a no-fly zone?

A major reason for limiting the number of interventions — and for giving each intervention a limited mission — stems from a second classic problem: Western democratic leaders have powerful political incentives to do humanitarianism on the cheap. Sarkozy, spectacularly unpopular at home and facing a presidential election next year, may score political gains for his leadership, but there is more for politicians to lose if the intervention goes badly than there is to gain if it goes well. Whatever credit President Bill Clinton might have gotten from the American public for saving untold thousands of Somalis, he retreated fast after 18 U.S. troops were killed in Mogadishu in October 1993. And particularly after the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan, there is scant French, British or American public appetite for more military adventures in Muslim lands.

Indeed, the very success of a humanitarian intervention can undermine its rationale and public support. If Clinton had swiftly

Residents of the Shiite Muslim village of Malkiya, Bahrain, react and throw stones as riot police and tanks move into their town in March. While NATO and Western allies concentrate on Libya, many question why the conflict in Bahrain has gotten little attention. sent troops to Rwanda in 1994 and stemmed the genocide, critics might have accused him of overreacting. White House official Dennis Ross reportedly said that the allies acted in Libya to prevent a “Srebrenica on steroids,” claiming that 100,000 people might have been slaughtered in Benghazi.

But since those kinds of gruesome headlines have been forestalled, all anyone can see are the problems of an ongoing war. And once a one-sided slaughter becomes a two-sided war, it is easier for butchers to try to imply a moral equivalence — as when Serbian leader Slobodan Milosevic complained that NATO leaders were the real war criminals for bombing Belgrade in 1999.

Escalating conflicts The result is a third recurring quandary: Humanitarian interventions tend to use limited means, while flirting with maximalist goals.

In Bosnia before 1995, Britain, France, Canada and the Netherlands sent U.N. troops, but these governments were more worried about the safety of their own soldiers than about protecting Bosnian civilians. The United Nations declared Sarajevo, Srebrenica and four other Bosnian towns to be “safe areas” but did not provide forces that could defend them — paving the way for the extermination of 7,000 Bosnians at Srebrenica in July 1995.

In Rwanda in 1994, the genocidal government killed 10 Belgian U.N. peacekeepers, driving the United Nations to pull out

most of its troops — even while Rwandans sought shelter at U.N. posts.

In Kosovo in 1999, Clinton refused to commit ground troops, relying only on air power even as Milosevic’s forces unleashed fresh assaults on the Kosovars on the ground. And in Darfur in 2004, the African Union sent a small peacekeeping force, which was overwhelmed by the scale of the problem and later had to be reinforced by the United Nations.

This leads to a fourth perennial problem: Humanitarian wars, like all wars, tend to escalate. In Libya, the shared original objective might have been to protect civilians, not to overthrow the regime, but what if Moammar Gadhafi retaliates against outside intervention with terrorism or by killing more civilians, after the U.N. Security Council has approved action precisely because he was killing civilians?

What if the civil war drags on for years, as such conflicts usually do? Reluctant Western allies and the Arab League could be pulled even deeper into Libya.

Such a wider war points to a final dilemma: Because outsiders are wary of sending in ground forces, they find themselves relying on locals willing to fight.

In Rwanda, the genocide of the Tutsi minority was stopped not by the international community but by the Tutsi rebels of the Rwandan Patriotic Front.

The Bosnian government army, although hobbled by a U.N. arms embargo, fought hard against the Serb nationalist onslaught.

There is no such thing as a neutral intervention, one that solely protects civilians without taking sides. In Libya, Sarkozy’s government has recognized the rebels as the “legitimate representatives” of the people, while Obama has said that Gadhafi should go. Western and Arab leaders will probably find themselves facing calls to train and arm the rebels or oust Gadhafi, and Obama has already stated that he has neither ruled in nor ruled out providing military assistance to the rebels.

But a local army or rebel group will not always be a champion of human rights. In 1971, to resist Pakistani atrocities against Pakistan’s Bengali population, India trained and armed Bengali guerrillas, who used child soldiers as young as 10. And today, Secretary of State Hillary Clinton has said that “we’re still getting to know” the Libyan opposition leaders.

Sarkozy, Cameron and Obama have acted on principle in Libya.

If Benghazi had gone down in history as another Srebrenica, they would surely have regretted it, much as President Clinton now regrets not acting in Rwanda. Their problem now is that virtue is not its own political reward, even if the war goes well — and especially if the war goes badly.

Gary J. Bass is a professor of public and international affairs at Princeton University’s Woodrow Wilson School. He is the author of “Freedom’s Battle: The Origins of Humanitarian Intervention” and “Stay the Hand of Vengeance: The Politics of War Crimes Tribunals.”

The protagonist at the center of the young adult novel “Akata Witch” lives in many worlds.

She is, in the truest sense, African-American: Nigerian by ancestry, American by birth. Born in New York, she moved to West Africa with her parents and brothers when she was 9.

But Sunny Nwazue is also albino, with skin the color of “sour milk” and “hazel eyes that look like God ran out of the right color.” Complicating matters further, she’s a witch.

It’s these intriguing and frequently at-odds attributes that drive the action in the latest novel from Chicago-area author Nnedi Okorafor, a Nebula Award nominee who was born in the U.S. to Nigerian immigrant parents and has spent much time in the West African country. In an increasingly globalized world, Okorafor’s outsider perspective offers a refreshing Afro take on the popular coming-of-age fantasy genre.

Sunny does not know she has mystical abilities when she first moves to Nigeria. Like a lot of tween girls her age, she just knows she feels awkward and out of place. She is routinely taunted not only for her ghostly skin color but for her origins.

She’s an “Akata,” her schoolmates tease, using a pejorative

West African term for foreignborn blacks.

Outcasts tend to find their way toward others who also don’t fit in, and Sunny is no exception.

She befriends a boy named Orlu who came to her defense after a particularly unpleasant altercation with a classmate. Through Orlu, she then befriends Chichi, a mischief-maker of a girl who senses Sunny may be a “leopard person.”

Leopard people are gifted with mystical abilities, or magic.

They value learning and prize individualism, unlike “lamb” people who care only about money and material goods.

Most leopard people come from magical families, including Chichi, Orlu and another boy Sunny befriends named Sasha, whose parents sent him to Nigeria from New York as punishment for inappropriate use of his “juju” powers. Sunny, however, is a rare “free agent” — “a random of nature, a result of mixed-up and confused spiritual genetics.” Her mother is a devout Catholic who doesn’t seem to appreciate magic.

The book is similar in theme to many other coming-of-age fantasies, but the details are distinctly African, the language unrushed and elegant. “Akata Witch” is a much-needed addition to the many titles featuring Caucasian protagonists — one that will appeal to readers who are interested in foreign cultures, tradition and beliefs, or those who live between cultures themselves.

Reflections L

ooking back on the nearly six years I’ve lived in Bend and worked as business editor, my head spins at the events that have unfolded here.

The real estate market was on fire when I arrived in July 2005. My wife and I rushed to buy a house we liked before it was nabbed in what was then a seller’s market and before the price rose.

Resort properties sold as fast as they became available. A sample headline in 2005: “203 resort lots sold in weekend.”

We had a weekly feature each Saturday called “What’s Going Up” detailing buildings rising seemingly everywhere.

We suspended the feature when the economy tanked and projects were hard to find. It now runs intermittently. We replaced the feature last July with one we called “Who’s Hiring” when jobs were scarce. It ran once. How times changed.

In the mid-2000s, jobs were prevalent.

Employers struggled to find workers.

The annual unemployment rate in Deschutes County was 4.6 percent in 2006. A headline in July 2006 read, “Understaffed businesses in Bend getting desperate.” One cut operating hours because it couldn’t attract enough help.

Fast forward to December 2009 when 700 people lined up for jobs at the new Olive Garden restaurant in Bend.

Area jobless rates have improved recently, but still remain in the teens.

In fall 2007, just before the official start of the recession in December and as real estate prices were dropping, but before red alerts were sounding, my wife and I moved to a neighborhood we loved from the time we first saw it. Big yards, quiet streets, perfect for our then 1-year-old son as he would grow up. It was a lot of money, but with the equity we had from prior real estate deals, we put enough down to make it work. After all, how far could prices drop?

By 2008, of course, Central Oregon’s economy was diving as the housing bubble burst and this idyllic location proved as prone to the crash as any other.

When I started this column in January 2009 in the depths of the recession, I reflected on the resiliency of downtown. Despite the recent closures of the high-profile Merenda, Deep and Volo restaurants, downtown was anything but boarded up. It was difficult to be optimistic then in winter’s grip, but The Oxford Hotel and Putnam Pointe apartment complex were under construction downtown, hinting at new life to come.

With the economy falling and unemployment rising, a longtime business owner provided an optimistic long-term view and noted most people still had jobs. He was, as I noted then, trying to keep the economic landscape in perspective. Others I spoke with downtown also weren’t panicked. The headline I put on that first column, “Downtown Bend: Trying to keep it all in perspective.”

Downtown has had its share of closures, but just as many openings. The trend of healthy occupancy was holding through last quarter, 93 percent among retail and restaurant locations.

Then, visiting Prineville in July 2009 to see how people were coping with the state’s highest unemployment rate, I was impressed at people’s determination and faith in better times ahead.

Six months later, Facebook announced plans to build its first data center in the city, putting Prineville on the world map. Construction jobs brought some much-needed relief.

The recession proved the vulnerability of an economy too dependent on real estate and construction.

But there are impressive efforts under way in Bend to diversify the economy, especially through tech industries.

Smart people are planning, creating and building new devices, software, companies and, importantly, connections that I believe will bear significant fruit over time. Tourism is improving as Central Oregon maintains its appeal and marketers exploit its attributes in creative ways. Myriad companies are hiring and expanding, as noted here last Sunday in the story, “Signs of life.” By no means a recovery, but by no means paralysis.

As my son and I prepare to join my wife in Wichita, Kan., where she is working at her dream legal job, I leave with a sense of sadness from a place full of memorable experiences and, most importantly, wonderful people. While we sell our house at a steep loss, I try to maintain the perspective I referenced here in 2009. We’re still above water on our mortgage, my wife has a good job and while I’ll be looking for work, we’ll be OK. So will Bend.

Farewell.

Central Oregonians recognized for 100 years of farming Kenny Read, of Culver, owner of the only certified Century Farm in Central Oregon still in continual family ownership, shared stories about his farming heritage from his home originally built as a stagecoach stop in 1864. The windmill in the background was installed in 1900 — two years after Read’s ancestors bought the property — to pump well water for cattle.

Read said the windmill still works.

The Bulletin

enny Read’s great-grandfather, Perry Read, came to Central Oregon for adventure as a scout for the U.S. cavalry in the 1850s, later serving as a sheriff in the days when the job sometimes entailed hunting down and hanging cattle rustlers and horse thieves, before he finally settled down in Culver, where the Read family has been ranching since 1898.

“The house was built in 1864 as a stagecoach stop,” Read said, adding that the family continued to operate the stagecoach stop for several years after they bought the property in 1898.

Every generation since then has lived in the same house, which Read said, has been remodeled over the years and upgraded with indoor plumbing and electrical wiring, kitchen appliances and other modern amenities.

The Read family runs one of three certified Century Farms in Central Oregon: two in Jefferson County and one in Crook County. The Read farm, however, is the only certified Century Farm in Central Oregon currently owned by the same family that founded it.

“I’m sure there are others in Central Oregon that have been in the same family for 100 years, or are getting close, and we want to get the word out to get them to come in and start the process of getting certified as Century Farms,” said Sharon Leighty, coordinator of the Oregon Century Farm and Ranch Program.

UNIVERSAL CITY, Calif. — Kermit the Frog, perched on a log inside a soundstage here a few weeks ago, was pouring on the charm. None of those smart-mouthed, skewering asides. No prickly dismissals of Miss Piggy’s unwanted love.

The Green One was simply strumming his banjo in a digitally engineered rainstorm, crooning the words of his dreamy signature song — “someday we’ll find it, the rainbow connection “ — as if his professional life depended on it.

And it just might.

It is probably too much to say that the Muppets — those wacky, witty, hand-operated anarchists of mid-1970s comedy — are down to their last shot at show-business glory. But they are certainly long overdue for the kind of hit that gets a 56year-old frog’s calls returned in this town.

For some people, it could well be a great time to buy.

But as too many struggling borrowers now realize, the cost of owning a home is hardly limited to paying the mortgage. There is a host of other checkbook-sapping details — both recognizable and unexpected — that can get overlooked in the excitement of buying a house, especially if it’s your first.

Ultimately, those things might mean the difference between home sweet home and foreclosure.

“It is extremely important to explain to all buyers, but especially first-time buyers, that there are additional expenses other than their monthly mortgage payment,” said Philadelphia-area real estate agent John Duffy.

Just because a lender has qualified you for a certain size mortgage doesn’t mean you have to spend that much on a house, Duffy said his agents caution buyers.

Get the PITI down pat “There will be additional, unforeseen costs, such as repairs, decorating, improvements, utilities and the like,” Duffy said.

“We like to tell them that we want them to enjoy their new home and not be house-poor.”

Vending technology you cannot shake down

By Joyce Smith McClatchy-Tribune News Service

KANSAS CITY, Mo. — Vending machines are getting a lot smarter — and tougher to shake down.

Machines equipped with wireless, Web-based monitoring systems are not only helping the $20 billion American vending industry sell more products, they’re also helping to stop thieves.

“It’s an old industry with more of a new start, so to say,” said Mark Brenner, a Kansas City-area franchisee for Fresh Healthy Vending.

The technology couldn’t come at a better time.

The recession and the huge unemployment numbers in 2009 resulted in the biggest one-year drop in vending sales to just under $20 billion from $22 billion in 2008, according to Automatic Merchandiser’s 2010 State of the Vending Industry Report.

Henson’s Muppets have not had a major box-office hit in 32 years. That was “The Muppet Movie,” which took in $65 million for the Associated Film Distribution company in 1979, or about $197 million in today’s currency. The next five Mup-

pets pictures, which were increasingly uneven, together had less in total domestic ticket sales than “Toy Story 3” collected in its first five days. (As Kermit might say, “Sheesh.”)

Life-size Hot Wheels to attract older boys

By Stuart Elliott New York Times News Service

An unusual promotion planned for the Indianapolis 500 is based on the saying that the only difference between men and boys is the size of their toys.

Mattel is joining forces with an IndyCar sponsor, the Izod apparel brand owned by the Phillips-Van Heusen Corp., for a promotion to be centered on a life-size version of the V-Drop track set, sold as part of the Mattel Hot Wheel line of die-cast toys. A member of Team Hot Wheels — a crew of stunt drivers — will try on May 29 to break the current world record for a distance jump in a four-wheeled vehicle (302 feet) by speeding in a life-sized yellow race car down a ramp that resembles the track included with the set.

And just as the V-Drop track set is meant to be hung from a child’s bedroom door, a door 10 stories high, or 100 feet tall, will be built in the infield of the Indianapolis Motor Speedway.

The promotion — formally called Izod Presents Hot Wheels Fearless at the 500 — is an example of what is known as experiential marketing, which seeks to bring brands to life in tangible ways. The goal is to discover new methods to disseminate product pitches because consumers are more able than ever to avoid traditional types of advertising.

This strategy is underlined by the unofficial theme of the promotion, “Hot Wheels for Real,” which is also the name of a sweepstakes that will give away prizes like a trip to the Indianapolis 500.

Among other examples of experiential marketing are temporary retail outlets, called pop-up stores; stage shows presented by Good Housekeeping magazine, under the title “Shine On,” which benefit the National Women’s History Museum; and the recruitment of consumers as brand ambassadors, evangelizing for favorite products.

In this instance, Mattel is seeking to expand the market for Hot Wheels by stimulating interest among men ages 18 to 34. Currently, the toys are aimed at boys ages 3 to 8; men in their 30s or older often rediscover the toys when they have children or develop an interest in collectibles.

“It’s an audience that once had a great connection with Hot Wheels,” said Simon Waldron, vice president of marketing for

Hot Wheels at Mattel in El Segundo, Calif.

Until now, “we haven’t served up a good enough reason for them to re-engage with the brand,” he added.

Other Hot promos “It’s all about evolving Hot Wheels,” Waldron said, both for the toys along with expanding into areas that would interest the intended target audience, like clothing, video games and online gaming.

The promotion will be accompanied by a presence in social media like the Hot Wheels and Izod Facebook pages; content on the Hot Wheels website; and the appearance of Hot Wheels in an advertorial for Izod in magazines like GQ. There are also plans for a 30-minute Hot Wheels television show, to appear after the ABC coverage of the Indianapolis 500.

Mattel is working on the promotion with Bandito Brothers, a production company in Culver City, Calif., and Mistress, a creative agency in Los Angeles.

“What Mattel wants is for Hot Wheels to be relevant to boys of all ages,” said Damien Eley, a partner and creative director at Mistress. One way to achieve that, he added, is to “offer a connection with action sports and car culture.”

“When you pick up a Hot Wheels car, there’s a combination of imagination and reality,” Eley said.

And because Hot Wheels cars are built on a 1:64 scale, “in theory, they could be made for real,” he added, which led to the idea of “imagining everything on a life-sized scale.”

Izod’s involvement came through its status as the title sponsor of the IndyCar Series, including the Indianapolis 500.

“We both go after a common target audience of young men, next-gen males, as we refer to them,” said Mike Kelly, executive vice president for the marketing group at Phillips-Van Heusen in New York. “As kids, we all played with Hot Wheels,” he added, so bringing up the brand to a teenager or 20-something “takes you back to happy moments as a kid.”

Five Guys bites into In-N-Out territory

Los Angeles Times

LOS ANGELES — Jessica Gueghlein never used to give it a second thought when she wanted a good hamburger — she headed to In-N-Out, a drive-thru icon of Southern California car culture.

But her affections have strayed. Lately she’s been hitting an East Coast upstart aggressively expanding in California — Five Guys Burgers and Fries.

“We chose this over In-NOut,” said Gueghlein, chowing down with family members at the Five Guys in Valencia, Calif., which opened in January. She liked the fresh, flavorful burgers and hand-cut fries at Five Guys — as well as the novelty of trying something new. “It’s the fourth time we’ve been here since they opened.”

Five Guys executives insist they’re not out to complete with In-N-Out, which started in Baldwin Park, Calif., in 1948.

“We’re not hurting them,” said Five Guys spokeswoman Molly Catalano, “but we’re glad that people are open to having another option.”

But the two chains are clearly going after some of the same customers.

“They will definitely be a competitor to In-N-Out,” said Steve West, restaurant industry analyst for Stifel Nicolaus & Co. in St. Louis. “The prices are comparable, and the product is comparable.”

Like In-N-Out, Five Guys’ menu is focused on single and double hamburgers and cheeseburgers, along with hand-cut fries. And like In-N-Out, Five Guys restaurants are red and white, with perky employees in red-and-white uniforms.

Coming on strong The privately held chain, which has 770 locations in the U.S. and Canada, began moving into California two years ago with a handful of shops in Orange County and the Inland Empire.

Now there are 27 locations in the state, but Five Guys has sold the rights to open 200 more in Southern California alone — nearly double the number operated here by In-N-Out. But to really make inroads here, Five Guys will have to get past a major hurdle: the intense loyalty of In-N-Out customers.

“They’re going to probably take market share from In-NOut,” West said. “Will they supplant In-N-Out? I don’t think so. ... In-N-Out is so cultish in Southern California, it’s going to be hard to break that habit.”

Rafael Bernardino, 50, an attorney who was lunching at a San Fernando Valley In-N-Out on a recent afternoon, has been eating In-N-Out burgers nearly all his life.

The privately held chain has 770 locations in the U.S. and Canada. Five Guys has sold the rights to open 200 more in Southern California. said Bernardino, who had ordered a Double-Double, fries and a Coke. “My mom loves it. My dad loves it.”

Five Guys, based in Lorton, Va., outside Washington, D.C., was founded in 1986 in nearby Arlington by five brothers in the Murrell family. They opened five of the restaurants and then started franchising, according to company spokeswoman Molly Catalano. Last year, the privately held chain had sales of $721 million, she said.

In-N-Out, now based in Irvine, Calif., was founded in 1948 by Harry and Esther Snyder and has about 250 locations. The privately held chain does not give out sales figures, but trade publication Restaurants and Institutions estimated that in 2008 it took in about $466 million.

In-N-Out Executive Vice President Carl Van Fleet said the company was not planning to make changes to meet the Five Guys expansion.

“We’ve been focusing on the same thing for 62 years,” Van Fleet said. “Freshness, quality and cleanliness in our restaurants. We’re just going to continue doing what we do.”

There are key differences between the two chains. In-N-Out’s menu items are generally less expensive — the chain is most popular with young men ages 18 to 24 with an income of less than $70,000 a year, according to NPD. By contrast, Five Guys patrons are generally 25 to 50 years old, with an income of more than $100,000.

In-N-Out locations are famous for their busy drive-through lines, with uniformed attendants sometimes going from car to car to take orders. Five Guys restaurants do not have drive-thrus,

and most of the locations are in shopping malls.

Both chains are growing, but In-N-Out is expanding much more conservatively. With 200 locations in California and about 50 more in other Western states, In-N-Out plans to open eight new restaurants in the DallasFort Worth area by the end of this year.

In Southern California, Five Guys could settle into a niche between In-N-Out and more expensive, smaller burger chains such as the Counter, Umami Burger and Habit Burger Grill, said Bonnie Riggs, restaurant industry analyst for NPD Group.

“In-N-Out is a step above other fast-food hamburger places,” Riggs said. “Now with Five Guys entering the market, that becomes a competitive step over In-N-Out.” By pricing its product higher and offering bigger burgers and a larger dining room than chains like In-N-Out, Five Guys is trying to capitalize on an important re-

cent trend in the restaurant business — the growth of midlevel eateries that are more expensive than fast food but cheaper than fancy restaurants.

These “fast casual” chains — whose ranks include Chipotle and Panera — grew even as other restaurants suffered during the economic downturn. Experts in the field ascribe this to customers seeking high-quality food at moderate prices.

With touches such as a bulletin board posted with the names of farms that provided the day’s potatoes, and options like spicy Cajun fries, hot dogs and small grilled cheese sandwiches meant for children, Five Guys is hoping to capitalize on that trend, spokeswoman Catalano said.

At dinner on a recent weeknight in Valencia, Dave and Terry Kasparian sampled their first Five Guys burgers. Terry had a single hamburger with mushrooms, lettuce and other fixings, while Dave tried the double. They shared the chain’s signature (huge) order of fries, served boardwalk-style in a big paper cup.

“In-N-Out’s got competition now,” Dave Kasparian said.

“The only thing missing is the drive-thru.”

Farms Continued from G1 Since there’s never been a certified Century Farm in Deschutes County, Leighty said she’s hoping one of the county’s longtime farm or ranch families will come forward and submit an application.

Only farms that have been owned and operated by the same family continuously for 100 years qualify for Century Farm certification. There are also a few farm and ranches around the state that have been in the same family ownership for 150 years and are certified as Sesquicentennial Farms, but none in Central Oregon, Leighty said.

Leighty, who grew up on a Century Farm in the Willamette Valley, said the Century Farm program provides a valuable historical record of Oregon’s agricultural and Western roots.

“Going through the certification process causes dialogue between generations. It often takes a couple of years to document the history of the farm and family ownership,” Leighty said. “It is important to get together and have these discussions while the older generation is still around to share their stories.”

She said there are no tax breaks or other benefits for obtaining a Century Farm certification.

“The whole intention of the program is to preserve Oregon’s agriculture history and create an awareness for future generations,” Leighty said, adding that about 98 percent of Oregon farms are family owned.

Kenny Read said his wife, Dianna, started researching information in 1998 to get their land certified as a Century Farm in 2000.

Read said even though the family farm is in Jefferson County, his wife had to travel to The Dalles to look up historical documents from the old-time Wasco County. In the late-1800s, the county covered nearly all of the land east of the Cascades between The Dalles on the north and Klamath Falls on the south, and as far east as Joseph.

Read said his great-grandfather was involved as a scout and later as a sheriff in a number of skirmishes with Indian tribes, but in the family stories, such events were taken in stride as part of the pioneer life.

One of the reasons so few farms and ranches survive in the same family for 100 years is because of changes in weather patterns, wild fluctuations in crop prices and technological advances that have combined to expand farm sizes and shrink the number of farms, Read said.

In the mid- to late-1800s and early 1900s, when, according to Kenny Read and the stories passed down in his family through the generations, Central Oregon weather was much rainier than it is today and 50 families homesteaded within five miles of the Read farm southeast of Culver. They raised everything from wheat to beans, corn, alfalfa, hops, tree fruit and vegetables

Home Continued from G1 Through the loan-qualifying process, some buyers, especially first-timers, become aware of the concept of spending only a certain percentage of their income on what is called PITI — principal, interest, taxes and insurance — “maybe 33 percent of income,” said Jerome Scarpello, of Leo Mortgage in Ambler, Pa. The reason that percentage isn’t higher is that other expenses will be incurred with homeownership, he said.

“Of course, there are some folks who really need to be taught this,” Scarpello said, recounting a story he heard of borrowers who brought their electric bill to the bank when paying their mortgage.

“They were surprised to learn,” he said, “the mortgage did not include electric, as their rental payment had.”

The “T” in PITI — taxes — can be extraordinarily expensive, depending on where you live. If you buy into a condo complex or a new-home development, you will have to factor in monthly homeowners association fees, as well.

PITI and association fees are fixed costs, for the most part, although homeowners insurance rates and taxes can rise. Mortgage interest can change, too, if you don’t have a fixed-rate loan.

“I generally estimate high,” said Jeff Block, of Prudential Fox & Roach in Philadelphia, “because I feel it is really important for buyers to have a conservative estimate and a detailed understanding of what their costs will be.”

without irrigation.

Each homestead that lured farmers and ranchers to Central Oregon 100 years ago or more was originally 160 acres, and schools were plotted out by the government to be 12 miles apart.

That distance was about as far as people could travel by horseback or wagon to get to school in the morning and get home in time to get their chores done before dark, Read said.

Sharon Leighty, statewide program coordinator for the Oregon Century Farm and Ranch Program, runs the statewide Oregon Century Farm and Ranch Program from her office in the Bend Chamber of Commerce building, but her phone number and e-mail are linked to the official headquarters of the program at the Oregon Farm Bureau’s Agricultural Education Foundation in Salem.

Farm transitions By the 1920s and 1930s, during what was known as the Dust Bowl era, the weather patterns changed and it was so dry that homesteaders had to switch from row crops to grass or dryland wheat, Read said. Those crops didn’t yield enough income from 160 acres to support a family, so most of the homesteaders in Central Oregon sold their land and moved on to greener pastures, or to jobs in town, he explained.

During that period, Read’s grandfather, James Perry Read, bought 1,800 acres of land for $18 per acre, which Read said was $6 per acre more than the $12 the government was offering to buy back the homesteads to establish public rangelands.

“My grandfather plowed with horses,” Read said. “He wouldn’t have anything to do with machinery on the farm, so it was a big surprise when he ordered a Model T Ford. It came in a box, and he had to put it together with the help of the salesman in Redmond.

“One of the funny family stories was about the day grandpa drove home in his Model T,” Read said.

After a short driving lesson, the car salesman turned the steering wheel over to Read’s grandfather to drive home, but when he pulled up in front of the family home, instead of stepping on the clutch and pulling on the brake, Read said his grandfather “pulled back on the steering wheel and yelled, ‘Whoa!’”

Of course the Model T wasn’t programmed with voice recognition, so the car kept rolling right through the picket fence before grandpa Read finally got the Model T stopped.

After witnessing that incident, grandpa Read’s wife, Bell, who taught school in the one-room Culver schoolhouse 200 yards away, made up her mind that she would never drive one of those contraptions, and never did, Read said.

James Perry Read was the first in the family to drive an automobile and had the foresight and financial prowess to buy up 1,800 acres to keep the family farm going when most of the other 50 neighboring homesteaders moved on.

However, when it came to switching from horse-drawn farming to farming with tractors and other machinery, James Perry Read wouldn’t have anything to do with that, so his son, Read’s father, James Hershel Read, took it on himself to switch to mechanical farming equipment, which kept the Read farm

It’s not just the mortgage Among expenses to factor into a home-buying decision: •Utilities: Heat, electricity, water and sewer, trash, phone, cable, Internet and cellphones.

•Food/entertainment: Dining in and out, movies, hobbies.

•Children: Day care, tuition, lunch money, supplies, clothing, sports gear.

•Health costs: Braces, eyeglasses, medicine.

•Debt: Credit-card payments, car/student loans.

•Maintenance/repairs/decor: Furnishings and appliances, landscaping, snow removal.

•Job expenses: Transportation (gas or transit), auto maintenance.

Bruce Hahn, president of the grass-roots American Homeowners Association in Arlington, Va., said home listings typically include historic costs for utilities, condo fees, and taxes, “so it should not be hard for buyers to anticipate how much extra cash flow they’ll need to cover them.”

If that information isn’t provided, Hahn said, buyers should use all other possible means to determine or estimate them in advance.

A cautionary tale He urged buyers to set aside a “rainy-day fund” for unanticipated major expenses, such as a broken heat pump or air conditioner or a roof leak. “Homeowners’ insurance plans often have

competitive.

The family’s farm lineage originated with Perry and Lilly Mae Read, and continued with James Perry and Bell Read, James Hershel and Velma Read, and to Kenny and Dianne Read.

Adaptation key “Our family has been farming here for four generations, and in order to survive, each generation had to diverge from the way things had always been done,” Read said.

“If I had to point to a key to surviving in agriculture, I guess it would be that everybody needs to realize they don’t need to do it like granddad or great-granddad did it,” Read said. “Keep their ideals and work ethic, but get rid of the old habits, the old ways of doing things. You can’t survive in today’s world if you continue that attitude.”

Change is essential, even though the transitions typically create some friction between father and son, and it was no different for Kenny Read and his father, James Hershel Read.

Kenny Read said it caused some disagreement initially when he wanted to shift from the Hereford breed of cattle his father favored and worked so hard to build up, to Black Angus, which Kenny Read saw as the breed of the future some 20 years ago.

“When I took over in 1991, it was a Hereford ranch. Dad and I had planted grass and converted most of the dryland wheat to rangeland. We were in the commercial cattle business.”

With the wild swings in commercial cattle prices, Read said the family was having a tough time making ends meet with a commercial Hereford cattle herd.

“We could only run so many cows on 1,800 acres, so we had to make the cows worth more,” Read said.

Read said the family had just one Black Angus bull when he started the transition around 1991 from a commercial Hereford herd to a registered Black Angus operation. The ranch switched from a commercial

lots of gaps, so there are many things they don’t cover.”

For example, Hahn said, he was glad his homeowners’ insurance included flood coverage “when our basement stairwell drain was clogged with leaves and water backed up in our basement.”

However, “our insurance agent explained that flooding is what happens when the river rises, but what we had was ‘seepage,’” which the homeowners policy did not cover.

As Hahn cautioned, you need to be intimately familiar with deductibles as well as coverage limits, so your annual premium will likely be much higher than the state average when you finish crafting your policy.

You certainly can shop around for the best rates, and, in many cases, save money on the premium with a policy that covers your automobiles as well as your house.

But you should also allow for simultaneous unanticipated expenses, such as a car transmission failure and a fridge on the fritz. If you are living on the economic edge, enough of these disasters can push you over it.

“We believe that $10,000 in liquid savings (a money-market account or the like) that can be turned into cash anytime with very little risk of capital loss is not too much,” Hahn said.

Hahn’s group doesn’t advise using credit cards to meet emergency expenses, because their interest rates are high compared to what savings accounts pay today.

“It is better,” he said, “to liquidate a savings account that is only paying 1 percent to pay for emergency costs than put them on a credit card and pay 15 percent.”

cattle operation primarily raising cattle for beef, to primarily raising registered Black Angus breeding stock to sell to other ranchers.

“My father disowned me for a while, but eventually he accepted it,” Read said.

When Read started that transition, Hereford cattle were the dominant breed across Oregon and nationwide. Today, that has changed and Black Angus cattle are the dominant breed, in part because feedlots and meatpackers pay a premium price for Black Angus cattle.

During his years running the ranch, Kenny Read, 57, has implemented computerized breeding records and uses embryo transfers and artificial insemination to maximize breeding efficiency and improve the bloodlines of the family’s cattle.

The advantage of using embryo transplants and artificial insemination is the ability to make more improvements to a cattle herd in five years than was possible with natural breeding and sire selection programs carried out over a lifetime, Read said.

In addition to the 1,800 acres of dryland range where his cattle graze, Kenny grows genetically modified feed corn and other crops on 380 acres of irrigated farmland that he and his father purchased after water became available from Wickiup and Haystack reservoirs. The reservoirs were completed in the 1940s.

Read also has done away with the traditional cattle drives and

roping and branding methods used in the past. He has developed a cattle-friendly system where instead of herding his cattle, they are trained to follow him into environmentally friendly curved cattle chutes where calves are branded and vaccinated as yearlings, and the bulls are loaded into trucks when they’re sold.

As his son, James, 30, and daughter, Nicole, 22, prepare to take on bigger roles in running the ranch, Read has already taken the next step into the future by installing GPS systems to ensure precise amounts of fertilizers and pesticides are applied to his crops, with no overlap or waste.

That saves money by reducing the amount of costly chemicals that are applied, and is also good for the environment, he said.

Read’s oldest daughter, Amanda, 32, lives in Bend, and helps maximize farm income from commodities markets.

Today, tight financing — difficulty getting farm and ranch production loans, financing to acquire land and new equipment, or loans for the younger generation to buy out the older generation — is one of the biggest impediments facing family farmers and ranchers, Read said.

Other century farms The two other Central Oregon farms certified by the state as Century Farms include the Slayton/Graffenberger farm in Crook County, certified as a Century Farm in 1970; and the Edward Bolter farm in Jefferson County, certified as a Century Farm in 1985, according to Leighty.

According to documents provided by Leighty, the first Century Farm certified in Central Oregon was 160 acres purchased

by Samuel Ransom Slayton in 1869. Slayton historically raised cattle, horses, hay, grain, alfalfa, a vegetable garden and tree fruits on the farm near Prineville. The farm had grown to 431 acres by the time Maybel Slayton Graffenberger of Prineville, granddaughter of Samuel, and her husband, A. R. Graffenberger, took over the farm in the 1940s.

The Slayton/Graffenberger farm has since been sold outside of the family, to Harold Thun, who was listed as the owner as far back as 1993, and in 2010 Thun sold it to Christian Radabaugh, according to Steve Lent, assistant director of the Bowman Museum in Prineville.

The second Century Farm

certified in Central Oregon was established in 1879 by Edward G. Bolter near Madras, but that farm also is no longer in the same family ownership.

According to Jarold Ramsey, chairman of the Jefferson County Historical Society, Bolter sold the ranch to Ron Ochs sometime after 1985, and Ochs recently sold it to Robert Pamplin, who is an owner of the Portland Tribune newspaper and several other businesses around the state.

Oregon’s Century Farm program was founded in 1958 to establish a record of Century Farms in preparation for the Oregon Centennial Celebration of statehood in 1959. Leighty said the program is jointly supported by the Oregon Farm Bureau’s Agricultural Education Foundation and the Oregon Department of Agriculture.

While the Read farm near Culver appears to be the only certified Century Farm currently under the same family ownership and operation, Leighty said a few others, including the Priday Ranch north of Madras and the Breese Ranch near Prineville, may qualify as Century Farms.

But they can’t be certified unless the owners submit applications with records documenting the historical ownership.

Annan Priday said Pamplin also bought his family’s original ranch site at the base of Cow Canyon that dated back to the 1870s, but Priday never applied for Century Farm certification prior to selling that oldest portion of the ranch, and he said he has no real interest in pursuing a Century Farm certification for other areas of the 25,000-acre Priday Ranch.

John Breese said the portion of the Breese Ranch where he operates has been in family operation since the 1870s, but he has “never given much thought” to applying for a Century Farm certification.

The Agricultural Education Foundation announced a partnership Thursday with Oregon State University Library, which will take over the management and storage of Century Farm records, and provide online access.

Muppets Continued from G1 The oddball gang hasn’t had a regular TV gig in two decades.

A 2005 effort to revive the characters sputtered as they were lobbed between divisions of the Walt Disney Co., and a new TV series died in the planning stages. In 2008, a resuscitation effort built largely around retail offerings suffered from the recession and from inexperience — Disney inexplicably reassigned the Muppets to an events team responsible for organizing movie premieres.

But Disney is giving another chance to Kermit, Miss Piggy, Fozzie Bear, Gonzo, Dr. Teeth, the Swedish Chef, Beaker and those balcony blowhards, Statler and Waldorf. This time, there is no talk of new tie-in theme park rides, TV specials, elaborate lines of related merchandise or the other trappings of a companywide franchise. This time, it all boils down to making a hit movie.

Scheduled for release at Thanksgiving, a marquee position on Hollywood’s calendar, “The Muppets” hopes to reboot the property by doubling down on signature attributes: irreverent, even biting humor; catchy song-and-dance numbers; and chaotic, unexpected story lines that can ricochet from dancing chickens to standup comedians to pigs in space. (The film will be up against “Arthur Christmas,” an animated movie from Sony about Santa’s high-tech operations at the North Pole.)

“You have to walk a careful line between respectful and reverential,” said Leslie Stern, a Disney stalwart who has been given oversight for rejuvenating the Muppets characters. “Make it feel contemporary, but do it in a way that preserves what made these characters so engaging and endearing in the first place.”

Certain rules of Muppetdom were forgotten or bent too often over time, people behind the new film say. One is that the characters play best when they are playing themselves. Flops like “The Muppet Christmas Carol” and “Muppet Treasure Island” put the critters into classic tales, losing the verve that came from the TV series and the first movie — in which Rowlf the piano-playing dog was just a piano-playing dog, and audiences loved it.

Made for adults

By Henson’s design, the Muppets are supposed to live in the

Vending Continued from G1 Some operators have responded by increasing prices. But many have resorted to technology to keep a tighter control on inventory, saving unnecessary trips to stock machines and stopping theft from inside or outside sources.

One company that’s turned to technology is Treat America Food Services, a Merriam, Kan.based vending and dining service management company with $52 million in annual vending sales. It is using a system designed by Cantaloupe Systems Inc. in many of its snack and beverage vending machines in businesses, colleges and hospitals.

Cantaloupe Systems was founded in California in 2002 by two engineers, one a secondgeneration vending professional.

Its “Seed” technology lets off-site vending machine owners know exactly how much product and how much money — to the number of dimes, nickels, quarters

made do with Ruth Buzzi’s mugging or Charles Aznavour’s whispering in French the phone number of a Paris garbage dump to an adoring Miss Piggy.

Keeping the inspiration alive

J. Emilio Flores / New York Times News Service

Todd Lieberman, left, and David Hoberman, producers of the upcoming film, “The Muppets,” in Brentwood, Calif., on March 20. real world, steadfastly believe that they are alive and — this is a biggie — play to an adult audience. He was so insistent that his non-“Sesame Street” stars embody a grownup personality and tone that he gave this title to the 1975 pilot that would introduce them: “The Muppet Show: Sex and Violence.”

“People started to forget that the Muppets were never designed as children’s entertainment,” said Todd Lieberman, a producer of the new film. (Kermit, created in 1955, is the only character that appeared regularly on both “Sesame Street” and “The Muppet Show.”)

Keeping all that in mind, Disney, which has owned the Muppets since 2004, assembled an unusual creative team known for cheeky, offbeat humor. Nick Stoller and Jason Segel, whose experience largely comes from R-rated comedies like “Forgetting Sarah Marshall” and “Get Him to the Greek,” wrote the screenplay. The director is James Bobin, a movie first-timer whose television writing and directing credits include the HBO series “Flight of the Conchords” and “Da Ali G Show.”

The film, with a budget of just under $50 million, follows a small-town couple (Amy Adams and Segel) as they take a young Muppet named Walter — a new creation — to Los Angeles. They are on a hunt for the famous Muppet Studios, largely because the iPhone-toting Walter hasn’t

quite sorted out his identity.

After finding the studio, they go on a tour — Alan Arkin plays the cranky guide — and find the place “rundown and for the most part abandoned,” Lieberman said. (Sound familiar?) But Kermit & Co. decide to fix all that by reuniting the gang, Blues Brothers-style, for an old-fashioned variety show fundraiser that saves the studio from a villain named Tex Richman, played by Chris Cooper, who thinks he can smell oil under the famous Muppet Theater.

Filming of a big song-anddance number shut down Hollywood Boulevard for two days.

The movie eventually involves at least 100 Muppet characters and as many hip cameos as Stoller and Segel could fit into the script.

In an outpouring of good will, some of Hollywood’s brightest young stars have lined up behind reviving the Muppets with a film that is, appropriately, about reviving the Muppets. Over the last several months, Ricky Gervais, Emily Blunt, Zach Galifianakis, Jack Black and two dozen or so peers have flocked to rented stages on the Universal Studios lot for roles.

“Pretty much the best day of my entire life,” said Blunt, who, in a reprisal of her character in “The Devil Wears Prada,” plays an assistant to Miss Piggy, who

is the editrix of “Vogue Paris.”

“Everyone who was on that set just walked away giddy,” Blunt added. “It was like touching your childhood.”

Like a lot of aging people in Hollywood, the Muppets were pretty much sitting on a shelf at Disney when Segel visited the studio in 2008 to talk about projects after his full-frontal moment in “Forgetting Sarah Marshall.”

Segel suggested a Muppet movie, and Disney was open-minded.

Stoller signed on to a team that includes Lieberman and his business partner David Hoberman, perhaps best known lately as producers behind “The Fighter.”

Adams, a star of that film, joined “The Muppets” one night over dinner, Lieberman said.

“As it turned out, nostalgia for the brand went way beyond our little circle,” he said of the unusual wave of interest that eventually swept celebrity after celebrity into the project. In a single scene, Whoopi Goldberg, James Carville, Neil Patrick Harris, Judd Hirsch and Selena Gomez all make cameos, according to producers.

“This is the first Muppet production of any size that is really being spearheaded by fans instead of hard-core Muppet professionals,” said Lisa Henson, Jim Henson’s daughter and chief executive of the Henson Co..

Her father, who died in 1990, often worked with stars of less wattage. For human accompaniment, his creations sometimes

and dollar bills — are in one of their machines, minute by minute.

As a result, owners know when to make a trip back to a machine to restock the Sprite or snack mix, when they should devote another row to Snickers, and when a ham sandwich is past its shelf life. The system also can text or e-mail owners to alert them when a machine door is opened up after hours.

The tiny Seed device can be installed on top of a vending machine, sending signals back to the vending company via a cellular network. The average cost per machine is $150 annually.

“We got it for operational efficiencies,” said Jim Mitchell, president-vending division for Treat America. “But it’s as if we have security in front of the machine 24 hours a day.”

The systems seem to be working. For example, a customer in Phoenix was alerted when one of its school vending machine doors was opened after hours. It notified police, who caught the two culprits in the act. The own-

er even told police how much money was in the machine right before the break-in. A New Orleans client saw several employees quit once the security system was installed.

Brenner uses a performance monitoring program developed

by USA Technologies in Mal-

vern, Pa. He considers the technology a good investment now that area gas prices are edging closer to $4 a gallon.

“So you’re using less gas, going out there only when you need to as opposed to just making a trip hoping the vending machine has been used,” Brenner said.

But the musical numbers, sight gags and very unexpected moments — what to make of Rita Moreno and a dancing Muppet brutally slamming each other around the stage? — worked its way into the psyche of a generation. By Stoller’s reckoning, the Muppets stand alongside Woody Allen, “Saturday Night Live” and “The Simpsons” as pillars of contemporary comic style.

“Muppets are the gateway drug for comedy writers,” said Stoller, who is in his mid-30s and recalls becoming addicted at an early age to the random capers, the vaudevillian flair and the mean old men who, from a perch in the balcony, were the show’s interlocutors.

Given that generational influence, it is all the more puzzling that the Muppets became a diminishing presence even as newly invented creatures who seemed to share their spirit — like Shrek, from DreamWorks Animation — took center stage.

At a time when prebranded characters are Hollywood’s treasured assets, how were the Muppets allowed to slip into such a state?

Kermit’s fortunes started to fade with a bungled sale after Henson’s death. Disney had been on the verge of buying the Jim Henson Co. But Henson’s heirs — after a period of trying, with mixed success, to run the Muppets themselves — ultimately made a richer deal with the German media company EM.TV and Merchandising.

EM.TV, which paid $680 million for the characters, would later have financial problems, and in 2003 sold the Muppets back to the Henson children for $78 million. The family later sold the Muppets to Disney while retaining the rights to other Henson creations like the Fraggles. (Sesame Workshop owns “Sesame Street” and related characters.)

At that point, Disney started its cycle of on-again, off-again efforts to put the Muppets back to work.

Speaking by telephone in February, Lisa Henson noted that the Muppets had been handled well enough to get them through a half-dozen films — no mean feat. Disney declined to discuss its previous labors, but Stern said it was pleased with the success of several viral videos made in recent years to keep a pilot light on for the franchise, particularly one where the characters perform Queen’s “Bohemian Rhapsody.”

Indeed, the popularity of that video, which has been viewed almost 20 million times on YouTube since late 2009, was a reason that Disney had confidence that the Muppets — half marionettes, half puppets — hadn’t lost relevance in an age of computer animation.

Henson has no connection to the new film, though many old Muppet hands are working on it.

(After being reminded that Muppets believe they are living beings, not puppets, Segel decided to delete a scene in which Walter, yearning to become a Muppet, practices as a ventriloquist’s dummy.) But Henson said the family, at long last, likes the direction Disney is going.

“We hoped they would be willing to make a really expensive, major-movie-star Muppet movie,” she said.

Hoberman, the producer, is likely to disagree with “expensive,” but he does concede that “The Muppets” has been made to have the kind of big, sprawling vibe that can create new fans and draw back older ones. “We are aware of the responsibility here,” he said. “We are appealing to everyone, young and old.”

Amenities meant to boost Spotty automatic Smart car’s appeal in U.S. wipers frustrate some drivers

By Warren Brown Special to The Washington Post

It is a matter of acquired taste, which means it is not for everyone. But it is catching on, with nearly 1.3 million models having been sold worldwide since its inception in 1998, including 40,000 sold in the United States since its introduction here in 2008.

To the point: The Smart Fortwo is not an American car. It is the motorR E V I E W ized progeny of a mind-set that is very un-American, a car conceived by people who have made peace with suffering, who have accepted the reality of limits, who understand that “fun to drive” often means having something to drive in the first place.

That it is catching on at all in America, a country in which the concept of limits has long been anathema, means some Americans are beginning to see the world as it is — a place in which people fight and die over natural resources such as oil and water, in which “getting there” often means walking many miles, in which buying a car is possible only after presenting proof of legal access to a spot in which to park it.

All of that is a hard sell in the United States, a land of what remains the cheapest gasoline in the developed world, a landscape of broad and seemingly endless highways, a place where car ownership is considered the birthright of 16-year-olds . . . and where “small” and “loser” frequently share close company in the mind of the American retail consumer.

How, then, to attract the American buyer to an automobile so foreign in concept and design?

Germany’s Daimler AG, maker of Mercedes-Benz and Smart automobiles, is trying to do it by Americanizing Smart.

It is an odd exercise, as represented by the 2011 Smart Fortwo Passion Coupe driven for this column.

The 2011 Smart Fortwo Passion Coupe, a rear-engine micro-car designed for use in congested city areas, is a genuine curiosity on wheels. Still, the concept is gaining traction on U.S. roads.

2011 Smart Fortwo Passion Coupe Price: The base price on the 2011 Smart Fortwo Passion Coupe is $14,690. Estimated dealer’s invoice price is $13,500. Price as tested is $15,985. Estimated dealer’s price as tested is $14,200. Compare with Honda Fit, Ford Fiesta and Hyundai Accent.

Type: The Smart Fortwo Passion Coupe is a rear-engine, rear-wheeldrive micro-car designed for use in congested urban areas.

Engine/transmission: The standard engine is a Mitsubishimade 1-liter, 12-valve, inline threecylinder job with variable valve lift and timing (70 horsepower, 68 footpounds of torque). It is mated to a five-speed transmission that can be ment, a premium sound system as an option along with onboard navigation. Electronic infotainment possibilities are many.

Power locks and window controls are standard, as are many safety devices, such as knee-bolster, side and head air bags.

Bask in spring sun with a droptop under $35,000

By Larry Printz The Virginian-Pilot

Spring is in the air, and with it comes warm days, cool nights and great times. And how better to enjoy it than with a new convertible?

But there’s an old saying in the car business: When the top goes down, the price goes up. True enough; most well-equipped droptops start at 40 grand or more.

Given the weak economy, that seems spendy. But don’t despair.

Stylish ways to catch some rays can be had for less than $35,000.

• Chevrolet Camaro: Base price $29,150. It’s been almost a decade since Chevy fielded a Camaro convertible, but it was worth the wait. Beneath its retro sheetmetal lies a potent 312horsepower V6 and six-speed manual transmission that’s better than you might expect, not to mention very fuel-efficient.

• Chrysler 200: Base price $26,445. Most convertibles are stingy when it comes to backseat space — if they even have one at all. That’s not the case with the 200. Unless you have a tight budget, skip the underachieving 173horsepower four-cylinder engine; opt for the new 283-hp 3.6-liter V6 instead.

• Mitsubishi Eclipse Spyder: Base price $27,999. While Mitsubishi has been eclipsed by larger Japanese automakers, the Eclipse still offers something others don’t: a droptop sports coupe. The base car has a 162horsepower four-cylinder, while the GT gets a 265-hp V6. Both models start under $35,000 — a steal considering their sporty

I drove a rental car this past week that had automatic windshield wipers. I didn’t realize this at first and thought the intermittent wipers were acting crazy, but figured out they were sweeping the windshield automatically. How do they do this? Is this on all new cars? Can I update my car to do this?

—Paulette Sacco This is a controversial subject as folks seem to either love or hate this feature.

Rain-sensing wipers have been around, more so on luxury vehicles, for about fifteen years, and have recently trickled down to mainstream cars and light trucks.

The most common approach for detecting rain is to use an optical sensor, which is mounted to the inside of the windshield near the rear view mirror. The sensor projects infrared light into the windshield at a 45 degree angle. If the glass is dry, most of the light is reflected back to a sensor right next to the emitter. When rain droplets form on the windshield, the projected light becomes scattered, and less is reflected back to the sensor.

Complaints of odd windshield wiper performance or improvements in sweep frequency can be traced to waxes, car wash rinse chemicals or windshield treatments applied to the glass that change the typical formation of droplets. If undesirable sweeping occurs, try cleaning the outside area of the windshield adjacent to the sensor with rubbing alcohol or something similar to restore normal droplet size.

Sensing rain is one part of the system. The other is skillful interpretation of the sensor information and human-friendly wiper execution. Getting used to the control methods can take some practice and patience. Some systems allow a rain sensitivity adjustment, a greatly appreciated feature;

manners and scarcity.

• Ford Mustang: Base price $27,145. This is a four-wheeled American icon, and it shows its heritage. It’s attractively priced, looks good with the top up or down, and the 305-horsepower V6 has plenty of power on tap to keep things interesting. Better yet, this pony returns 31 mpg on the highway, proving you can look a gift horse in the mouth — provided it’s a Mustang.

• Mazda MX-5 Miata: Base price $23,110. Mazda’s Miata recalls an earlier era, albeit one filled with lightweight, affordable roadsters. Unlike its forebears, the Miata is reliable. It’s a good thing, given its classic looks have been marred by a newly revised grille. Looks aside, the Miata’s a hoot to drive, has good luggage space and is easy on gas. It’s a bargain.

• Mini Cooper: Base price $26,050. Yes, the Cooper has been around a while. Yes, it’s still cute enough to name. And yes, it still has exceptional design, solid build quality and an amazingly fun driving experience. It handles so well. A 121-horsepower four is standard. For those who love fast living, the Cooper S offers 60 additional horses, but the price jumps $3,000.

• Volkswagen Eos: Base price $32,940. The 2012 Eos is about to arrive in VW showrooms, but the essentials remain unchanged.

This hardtop convertible’s roof can be opened partially to form a sunroof. VW’s familiar turbocharged 2.0-liter four produces 200 horsepower. One big change: a dual-clutch transmission is available for the first time.

operated automatically or manually.

Mileage: You get 33 miles per gallon in the city and 41 mpg on the highway.

Bottom line: Strictly a city car in the United States.

Capacities: It seats two people and carries 7.8 cubic feet of cargo. Fuel capacity is 8.7 gallons. Premium gasoline is required, because the engine is designed to operate at peak combustion in order to lower tailpipe emissions.

Safety: Standard equipment includes front disc and rear drum brakes; four-wheel anti-lock brake protection; electronic brake-force distribution; high-strength steel roll cage for crash protection; eight air bags, including knee, side and head bags; and electronic stability and traction control.

But loving this one requires acceptance of a worldview beyond U.S borders. It’s tiny, just 8.8 feet long. That’s great for parking in super-congested cities such as Rome, and it makes practical sense in teeming U.S. metropolises such as New York.

But most American consumers don’t buy cars to park them.

Daily, they are fed hours of television commercials showing happy motorists zooming off into the sunset. In the Passion Coupe, you won’t zoom anywhere.

Zooming, in this one, is not an option. The car comes standard with a 1-liter in-line three-cylinder gasoline engine (70 horsepower, 68 foot-pounds of torque).

The good thing is that almost all other cars on American roads zoom around you, leaving you blessedly alone.

Shifting gears in the rearwheel-drive Passion Coupe requires patience — an appreciation of the poetic elegance of the slower things in life. The car is equipped with a five-speed automated manual transmission, which, in this case, means it works grudgingly as both a manual and an automatic.

But although loving this car is difficult, it is not impossible. You eventually grow accustomed to its quirks and make certain adjustments on your end. You become a compassionate part of much of the rest of the motorized world.

some function only in the intermittent or low-speed setting, requiring drivers to manually select high speed. Some systems react to changes in vehicle speed, leaving you to wonder if demons have taken charge of the wipers. Speed-sensitive wipers utilize shared vehicle information through a vehicle’s CAN, or controller area network, to vary wiper speed in conjunction with vehicle speed.

Occasional complaints with rain and speed-sensing wipers are phantom wiper sweeps at startup, excessive sweeps that aren’t adjustable, or the perception that the wipers are just goofy.

I was fortunate to spend a recent week driving a new Audi A8, a magnificent car equipped with rain-sensing wipers along with an abundance of other techie features. It took almost a full day of rainy driving to appreciate how the wipers were trying to be helpful before I bought into the well-executed system. I also wondered if an aftermarket kit might be available for my lower-tech vehicles at home. I found a product, Rain Tracker, that impressed me enough to order one. The unit runs $90 and also contains an auto-headlight feature. Hydreon, the maker, promises simple DIY installation information but cautions the auto headlight hookup is best left to a pro. I’ll try out both features and report back with the results.

Windshield wipers have come a long way since the first wiper, patented by Mary Anderson, began service in 1903.
