A custody battle over the science of autism Governor • Many physicians warn against the treatment a father approved, but a local court backs him backs UO ouster as fans rally

By Betsy Q. Cliff The Bulletin

Victor Probert, a 16-year-old who once lived in Central Oregon, is autistic. But his parents have fought over the best medical treatment for him.

Suzy Combs went along with the treatment plan for her son Victor Probert in the beginning.

Indeed, she was desperate to do anything to help the autistic boy live a more normal life.

But as time went on, she became increasingly doubtful the multiple supplements, prescription drugs and intravenous

treatments benefited him.

In doing research, she realized many of her concerns were supported by medical research, which suggested Victor’s regimen likely did no good and perhaps could cause harm.

Yet, unlike most parents who might simply change physicians, Combs has been court-ordered to follow the treatment plan she disagrees with.

Combs is divorced from Victor’s father, Randy Probert.

Probert has full custody of Victor, which allows him to make medical decisions for the boy.

Probert said he believes in Victor’s regimen.

The Deschutes County case illustrates the complex interplay of medical science and the legal system. While mainstream medicine favors Combs, experts said legal standards made it unlikely she would win custody or keep her son from his current treatment.

HOT ON THE TRAIL OF THE COLD CASES • The Deschutes County Sheriff’s Office has assembled a veteran team to solve the area’s unsolved crimes, starting with one almost four decades old UNSOLVED Central Oregon’s 18 cold cases and their corresponding agencies: Deschutes County Sheriff’s Office 541-447-6398

Bob Cosner takes notes while reviewing a missing-person case. Cosner, who retired from the Deschutes Couny Sheriff’s Office, is one of several volunteers working on a handful of cold cases. He said he had read the binder of information under his left elbow several times before — and it’s only the first of three holding information on the case. “I look to get a sense of all the people in the case before going back into interviewing.”

or the Deschutes County Sheriff’s Office, it all

started with Susan Wickersham.

She was a 17-year-old Bend High student, out for a drive in 1973. After dropping the car off with her mother at the Sage Room Restaurant next to the Tower Theatre, she waited for friends to pick her up. When they didn’t come, she walked away from the restaurant.

Susan Wickersham never came home. Several years later, her remains were found by a man looking for firewood near Deschutes River Woods.

Injuries to her skull showed she’d been shot in the head.

The case has never been solved.

That’s where the Sheriff’s Office cold case squad comes in. Formed in 2005, the squad consists of four retired law enforcement officials who volunteer about 20 hours each week poring over binders filled with information on unsolved crimes. And it’s Wickersham’s long-unsolved case that sparked the start of the cold case squad.

“She’s the primary reason, to look into that (case),” said Capt. Marc Mills, who was Wickersham’s classmate at Bend High.

There are a host of unsolved cases around Central Oregon, and the Deschutes County Sheriff’s Office is in charge of seven of them. All told, the region counts 18 unsolved mur-

ders or disappearances.

For Mills, the cold case squad is a way to show a commitment to these long-ago cases.

“Years ago, there was a comment made to the effect of Bend (and Deschutes County) having a number of unsolved type cases,” he said. “When you hear things like that, you need to start digging into the past to see exactly what’s going on. So we got serious about it.”

• Susan Wickersham: The unsolved crime that sparked the formation of the Deschutes cold case squad. Wickersham, then 17 and a Bend High student, disappeared July 11, 1973. She dropped off her mother’s car at the Sage Room Restaurant next to the Tower Theatre around 11:30 p.m. and was last seen walking in downtown Bend, perhaps on her way to the Deschutes River Woods area.

Wickersham’s remains were found three years later by a man looking for firewood on what is now the east side of U.S. Highway 97 near Deschutes River Woods. Her skull shows she had been shot once in the head.

There are cold case squads around the country. But the Sheriff’s Office has the only team in Central Oregon.

It’s a simple theory: a new set of eyes looking over an abundance of old case information just might see something others close to the case never spotted.

• Kitzhaber: Lariviere’s actions undermined state leadership, and the president’s own goals Bulletin staff and wire reports Gov. John Kitzhaber said Saturday that University of Oregon President Richard Lariviere has shown little regard for Oregon’s other universities and the State Board of Higher Education would be “fully justified” to oust him.

The governor’s announcement, issued in the form of a 750-word statement released by his office, came on the same day a group of mostly faculty members and administrators demonstrated at the main south gate of Autzen Stadium in Eugene to protest Lariviere’s likely dismissal.

Most in the group of a dozen or so protesters were holding picket signs, peacefully handing out fliers and wearing fedoras, Lariviere’s trademark headwear, as a sign of support for the ousted president before kickoff of the annual Civil War football game between Oregon and Oregon State.

The Oregon State Board of Higher Education last week informed the president his contract would not be renewed when it expires next summer. In his statement, Kitzhaber said a number of incidents have eroded the board’s trust in the president, including Lariviere’s decision to lobby the Legislature this year for increased independence for the university even after the board voted not to support his proposal.

What to blame for crazy Black Fridays

By Chris Hawley The Associated Press

NEW YORK — Pepper-sprayed customers, smash-and-grab looters and bloody scenes in the shopping aisles. How did Black Friday devolve into this?

A volatile mix of desperate retailers and cutthroat marketing has hyped the traditional post-Thanksgiving sales to increasingly frenzied levels. With stores opening earlier, bargain-obsessed shoppers often are sleep-deprived and short-tempered. Arriving in darkness, they also find themselves vulnerable to savvy parking-lot muggers.

Add in the online-coupon phenomenon, which feeds the psychological hunger for finding impossible bargains, and you’ve got a recipe for trouble.

“These are people who should know better and have enough stuff already,” said Theresa Williams, a marketing professor at Indiana University. “What’s going to be next year, everybody getting Tasered?”

As the weekend ended, there were signs that tensions had ratcheted up a notch or two across the country — often with violent results.

By Ann Gerhart

University of Maryland food science professor Martin Lo is working on separating tobacco proteins for beneficial uses in medicines and industrial products.

The Washington Post

Warning: The subject of this exploration will constrict your blood vessels, choke your windpipe and dispatch you to an early grave, 5 million of you a year. The most lucrative crop the Americas have ever seen, it kept the British at bay, kept the enslaved entrapped, kept Hollywood sexy. Until it didn’t anymore.

Stipulation: Deep bows to the great public health triumph of wrestling Big Tobacco to the mat and changing human behavior. Never before were millions persuaded to give up a highly pleasurable, relatively cheap habit because it was bad for them. And never since.

But: Tobacco itself refuses to die. It’s stubborn. It’s meant to grow here. The seeds are tiny as a flea and germinate like crazy. In less than a month, you can have a robust green crop that’s good for much more than smoking. You can grow vaccines in it. Extract protein from it. Make drugs from it.

Ten years after Maryland became the only state to use its tobacco settlement money to pay hundreds of farmers to quit growing the evil sot-weed, it’s turning out that tobacco has redemptive virtues. Nobody needed to bother exploiting them before; the stuff was so fabulously successful for 400 years as a vice. Even nicotine, the natural and highly addictive chemical in tobacco, has its benefits.

People smoked in part because a cigarette could calm you down and pep you up.

Now research studies are exploring exactly how nicotine may safely halt cognitive decline and help those with Alzheimer’s, Parkinson’s, depression, schizophrenia and attention problems. The pure nicotine in the smoking cessation patch used in these studies is extracted from an American product that American farmers know how to grow.

If you drive around Southern Maryland, you can still spy it. Amid the corn mazes and alpaca petting opportunities, the pick-your-own peppers and the thick crop of McMansions, there’ll be a couple acres of plants that look like soldiers — upright, sturdy, tall as a man, with bushy leaves bigger than the blade on a ceiling fan.

You’ll come upon a weathered barn, with some of its boards missing. But on closer examination, you’ll see the slats are opened with a precise symmetry. They let in the air that cures the tobacco hung on its stalks up in the rafters.

Inside the barn, the sheaves, as it has been said, feel like velvet and smell like money.

Slaves built the great tobacco fortunes of North Carolina and Virginia and worked the plantations of Southern Maryland. After emancipation, blacks and whites worked as sharecroppers and field laborers. It continued to flourish because of voracious demand.

World War I Gen. John J. Per-

shing pleaded from France in 1918: “You ask me what we need to win this war. I answer tobacco as much as bullets.”

Fifty years later, the lawsuits over the health hazards started.

Gary Hodge was finishing up a long stint as executive director of the Tri-County Council for Southern Maryland as then-Gov. Parris N. Glendening was thinking about what to do with Maryland’s share of the billions in tobacco money won through court settlements in the late 1990s.

Much-studied Tobacco is often called the white mouse of the plant world, and Nicotiana tabacum has been turned inside out for study. The first studies of nicotine, in which researchers watched how a chicken’s leg twitched when exposed to the drug, were conducted in the late 1800s. They led to the discovery — and naming — of nicotinic receptors in the

brain that play a key role in neurotransmitting.

The plant itself has relatively few genes, so it’s easy to manipulate to maximize any trait — low or high nicotine, faster maturity, slower burn rate, tougher leaves for finer cigar-wrapping.

It has a density of high-quality protein, and extracting, purifying and exploiting the value of that protein is where Hodge saw opportunity for Maryland growers. So a team of University of Maryland researchers also have been fooling with tobacco for the past several years.

Agronomist Robert Kratchovil grows a new varietal, hybridized for very low nicotine and very high protein and leaf mass, at a small test plot at the university’s Upper Marlboro farm. This tobacco is harvested several times a growing season, like spinach, and carted off to the university, where food science professor Martin Lo throws it into a

whirring grinding machine that resembles a giant blender.

He has experimented with when to harvest for highest protein content and what else might be done with the pulp.

Lo grew up in Taiwan, where, he says, tobacco smoke is used in some non-Western medical applications and where his grandparents always told him to finish his rice.

Both inform his quest for new benefits from tobacco. “My belief in science is that we have to be humble,” Lo says. “We only know a little. One development triggers a few new ideas that may lead to something else.”

So far, the project has identified industrial applications for the extracted protein, such as binding agents in paint. The cellulose could be dried and converted into biofuel.

Left over in the plant pulp are dozens of compounds.

One of them is solanesol, a precursor of coenzyme Q10, necessary for cell functioning.

CoQ10 declines, like nearly everything, with age, sending the middle-aged from the cardiologist to the drugstore. “One bottle at Costco is 32 or 33 dollars!” says Lo, who theorizes that the enzyme could be produced faster and cheaper from tobacco. He brews tea from the pulp, hunts for fermentation possibilities and looks “to use (the tobacco plant) down to the very last drop.”

In 2005, doctors in France performed the world’s first partial face transplant on a woman disfigured by a dog bite.

Ten years ago: Afghan factions opened power-sharing talks outside Bonn, Germany.

Five years ago: President George W. Bush, stopping over in Estonia en route to a NATO summit in Latvia and meetings in Jordan, intensified diplomatic efforts to quell rising violence in Iraq and Afghanistan.

One year ago: The State Department released a letter from its top lawyer to WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange, warning that an expected imminent release of classified cables would put “countless” lives at risk, threaten global counterterrorism operations and jeopardize U.S. relations with its allies.

T S Egypt braces for violence after death

NASA LAUNCHES A WHOPPER OF A ROVER — NEXT STOP, MARS A rover of “monster truck” proportions launched from Cape Canaveral, Fla., Saturday and zoomed toward Mars on an 8½-month, 354 million-mile journey, the biggest, best-equipped robot ever sent to explore another planet.

NASA’s six-wheeled, onearmed wonder, Curiosity (pictured below in a rendering) will reach Mars next summer and use its jackhammer drill, rock-zapping laser machine and other devices to search for evidence that Earth’s next-door neighbor might once have been home to the teeniest forms of life.

More than 13,000 invited guests jammed the Kennedy Space Center to witness NASA’s first launch to Mars in four years, and the first flight of a Martian rover in eight years. Mars fever gripped the crowd: NASA astrobiologist Pan Conrad, whose carbon compound-seeking instrument is on the rover, wore a bright blue, short-sleeve blouse emblazoned with rockets, planets and the words, “Next stop Mars!”

Bulletin wire reports CAIRO — The killing of an unarmed demonstrator by police threatened to stir up new protests here Saturday as Egypt’s military rulers and political parties braced for potential chaos surrounding the parliamentary elections scheduled to start Monday.

An outpouring of anger over the incident, in which a protester was run over by a police truck, added to fears that continued protests and violence would undermine the integrity of the vote, the first since the ouster of former President Hosni Mubarak nine months ago.

The incident took place at the end of a week of mounting protests across the country against Egypt’s interim military rulers, accused of threatening the revolution that brought down Mubarak by claiming permanent political powers and autonomy above a civilian government. The death recalled the event that set off the recent uprising, when the heavy-handed eviction of a small protest camp in Tahrir Square galvanized public anger against the military’s power grab.

Still scrambling to quiet the streets, Egypt’s military rulers met separately Saturday with two prominent civilian leaders, the former diplomats Mohamed ElBaradei and Amr Moussa, the state news agency reported. Both said only that they talked about addressing the crisis.

The Associated Press photos

Elsewhere Also, Saturday, three Americans who were studying at the American University here and had been arrested during a protest last Sunday had left Egypt headed for the U.S. In Morocco, a moderate Islamist party appeared Saturday to have won parliamentary elections, the second time in weeks that voters in the region have chosen Islamists in elections brought on by the Arab Spring.

That country’s Justice and Development Party won a plurality of the vote, the first under the country’s new constitution, drafted by King Mohammed VI in response to pro-democracy protests. If those results hold up, the king will be required to choose a prime minister from the party and the party will have the right to lead a coalition government.

TV attack ads aim at Obama early, and often New York Times News Service Inside the debate halls, the clash may be Republican versus Republican. But offstage, conservatives are mounting a unified and expensive air assault on President Barack Obama.

Less than a year before Election Day, presidential candidates and conservative action groups are already spending heavily on television

advertising aimed at casting Obama as a failure. They are employing aggressive and sometimes misleading tactics as they exchange fire with the White House and its allies in what is shaping up to be the most costly general election advertising war yet.

In the last six months, conservative groups like those affiliated with Karl Rove and the billionaire indus-

trialist Koch brothers, and, increasingly, Republican candidates themselves, have spent more than $13 million on advertisements carrying a negative message about Obama.

And it is only going to grow more intense. Total TV advertising spending on the 2012 cycle could top $3 billion, up from $2.1 billion four years ago, according to one estimate.

Pakistan sanctions NATO over lethal strikes Bulletin wire reports Pakistani officials said Saturday that NATO aircraft had killed at least 25 soldiers in strikes against two military posts at the northwestern border with Afghanistan, and the country’s supreme army commander called them unprovoked acts of aggression, in a new flash point between the U.S. and Pakistan.

The Pakistani government responded by ordering the CIA to vacate the drone operations it runs from Shamsi Air Base, in northern Pakistan, within 15 days. It also closed the two main NATO supply routes into Afghanistan, including the one at Torkham.

NATO forces receive roughly 40 percent of their supplies through that crossing, which runs through the Khyber Pass, and Pakistani officials gave no estimate for how long the routes might be shut down. A prolonged closure of Pakistan’s two Afghan border crossings could cause serious problems for the coalition.

A NATO spokesman said it was likely that allied airstrikes caused the Pakistani casualties, but he added that an investigation had been ordered to determine the cause.

In Washington, U.S. officials are weighing the implications on a relationship that took a sharp turn for the worse after a Navy SEAL commando raid killed Osama bin Laden in May, and that has deteriorated since then.

Gem Tanzanite & Diamond

Black Continued from A1 A woman has turned herself in to police after allegedly pepper-spraying 20 other customers at a Los Angeles-area Walmart on Thursday in what investigators said was an attempt to get at a crate of Xbox video game consoles. In Kinston, N.C., a security guard also pepper-sprayed customers seeking electronics before the start of a midnight sale.

In New York, crowds reportedly looted a clothing store.

At a Walmart near Phoenix, a man was bloodied while being subdued by a police officer on suspicion of shoplifting a video game. There was a shooting outside a store in San Leandro, Calif., shots fired at a mall in Fayetteville, N.C., and a stabbing outside a store in Sacramento, N.Y. “The difference this year is that instead of a nice sweater, you need a bulletproof vest and goggles,” said Betty Thomas, 52, who was shopping Saturday with her sisters and a niece in Raleigh, N.C. The wave of violence revived memories of the 2008 Black Friday stampede that killed an employee and put a pregnant woman in the hospital at a Walmart on New York’s Long Island.

Black Friday — named that because it puts retailers “in the black” — has become more intense as companies compete for customers in a weak economy, said Jacob Jacoby, an expert on consumer behavior at New York University.

The idea of luring in customers with a few “doorbuster” deals has long been a staple of the post-Thanksgiving sales.

But now stores are opening earlier, and those deals are getting more extreme, he said.

“There’s an awful lot of psychology going on here,” Jacoby said. “There’s the notion of scarcity — when something’s scarce it’s more valued. And a resource that can be very scarce is time: If you don’t get there in time, it’s going to be gone.”

There’s also a new factor, Williams said: the rise of coupon websites like Groupon and LivingSocial, the online

Find Your Dream Home In Real Estate equivalents of doorbusters that usually deliver a single, one-day offer with savings of up to 80 percent on museum tickets, photo portraits, yoga classes and the like. (This shopping season, the number of major retailers with mobile websites jumped 210 percent, and those with a mobile app leaped 278 percent, according to a study by consulting firm Acuity Group, which called 2011 the year mobile took off.)

The services encourage impulse buying and an obsession with bargains, Williams said, while also getting businesses hooked on quick infusions of customers. “The whole notion of getting a deal, that’s all we’ve seen for the last two years. … ‘How do we get their attention quickly? How do we create cash flow for today?’ ”

In Business • Move over, Groupon: Deal sites keep popping up locally, G1

To grab customers first, some stores opened late Thanksgiving Day, turning bargain-hunting from an early-morning activity into an all-night slog, said Ed Fox, a marketing professor at Southern Methodist University in Dallas. Midnight shopping puts everyone on edge and also makes shoppers targets for muggers, he said. In fact, robbery appeared to be the motive behind the shooting in San Leandro, about 15 miles east of San Francisco.

“There are so many hours now where people are shopping in the darkness that it provides cover for people who are going to try to steal or rob

those who are out in numbers,” Fox said.

The violence has prompted some analysts to wonder if the sales are worth it and what solutions might work. In a New York Times column, economist Robert Frank proposed slapping a 6 percent sales tax on purchases between 6 p.m. on Thanksgiving and 6 a.m. Friday in an attempt to stop the “arms race” of earlier and earlier sales. Small retailers, meanwhile, are pushing so-called Small Business Saturday to woo customers who are turned off by the Black Friday crush.

Next up is Cyber Monday, when online retailers put their wares on sale this week. But on Saturday, many shoppers said they still prefer buying at the big stores, despite the frenzy.

THE BULLETIN • SUNDAY, NOVEMBER 27, 2011

Autism Continued from A1 Autism is a serious developmental disorder that affects a child’s brain in the early years of life. An estimated one in 110 children in the United States develops the disorder, characterized by difficulties with social and communication skills.

Its exact causes are unknown, and no single treatment has been proved to work best.

Still, doctors around the country have criticized the type of treatment Victor is receiving. Dr. Kyle Steinman, medical director of the University of Washington’s Autism Center who was not involved in the case but was told about it by a reporter, called the order compelling Combs to follow that treatment “horrible.”

“For a mom to be ordered to do treatments that are not based in scientific evidence and that many doctors would say are inappropriate or dangerous” seems wrong, Steinman said.

Family law experts, however, said judges consider a number of factors in cases involving child custody and family law. Because Combs brought up her concerns in an effort to modify the existing order giving Probert custody, her burden of proof was much higher than it may have been otherwise, experts said.

“For the purposes of modification, there generally has to be a significant change in circumstances. Courts don’t modify just because (one parent believes) ‘I can do something better,’ ” said Leslie Harris, a family law professor at the University of Oregon.

A theoretical danger may not be enough, particularly for a modification, she said.

“Some judges say I really need to see that there is harm to the child before I’m going to change custody.”

In this case, Deschutes County Circuit Judge Stephen Tiktin, who adjudicated the case, said in an opinion he did not find evidence of harm that would compel him to modify the order. Tiktin said he had considered both sides and found “no showing that Victor does not continue to improve or that he is harmed in any way” by his physician’s care.

Tiktin declined to comment further on the case, he said through his judicial assistant, Mathew Farlow.

Combs said she is now concerned for her son’s health. She continues to take steps to try to halt Victor’s treatment, including filing multiple complaints against his physician with the Oregon Medical Board.

“It’s a mess,” Combs said. “It boggles my mind” that Tiktin did not find evidence of harm.

Probert, on the other hand, lauded Victor’s physician, Dr. John Green, who has an independent clinic in Oregon City.

“I believe in the man so much,” he said. “He’s so compassionate. … He’s all about helping these kids.”

The divorce Combs and Probert filed for divorce in 2003, and Tiktin had the case from the beginning.

Combs was living in Redmond at the time and Probert in Powell Butte, according to court documents. They were granted joint custody of their two sons, Victor, who is now 16, and his brother, 17.

Around the time of the divorce, according to court documents, both Combs and Probert started bringing Victor to see Green. They agreed on the treatment for him then, Combs said. In a note filed in court, Green praises the two for working together despite their divorce.

The divorce got ugly quickly. Each side accused the other of intimidation and abuse, according to court documents.

Both filed for sole custody of the boys.

At that time, around 2007, the treatment for Victor was still unquestioned by his parents. In fact, each parent used adherence to Green’s regimen as evidence of being the better parent.

In 2008, Probert was awarded custody of both boys, though Combs saw them regularly. Later that year, Probert notified the court that he lost his job and had begun to look for work out of the area.

In 2010, Probert found a job in Kennewick, Wash. Even with custody, he had to get permission from the court to move the boys. The older son at this point had stopped spending time with his father, and Probert petitioned to take only Victor with him.

“Randy is an extremely involved father,” said Linda Reed Haase, Probert’s lawyer.

“He was the one who understood the treatment better and who was better able to follow through with what treatments were ordered.”

Green testified at three hearings during the case and recommended Probert have custody, Haase said. It was in large part because of that support that Probert was granted it, she said.

Combs said she started to grow skeptical of Green’s treatments a couple of years ago, about the time Probert petitioned to take Victor to Kennewick. She didn’t like the numerous nutritional supplements Victor was taking and wanted to back off. For example, she said, Green was recently giving the boy between 2,000 and 3,000 milligrams of vitamin C per day, which Combs said caused Victor to have diarrhea, a potential side effect of too much of the vitamin, according to the National Institutes of Health.

The recommended daily intake for a boy of Victor’s age, according to the federal government, is between 63 and 75 milligrams per day.

She said she brought up her concerns in court. At this time, having run out of money, she was representing herself. She did not have an expert on her behalf or any outside support for her contention that Green’s treatment was not the best.

That can be a huge issue, said Krystal Callaway Jaime, the supervising attorney for the family protection clinic at the University of California, Davis, School of Law. To question a medical treatment, she said, “you are going to have to come in with a highly qualified medical expert … and you are going to have to hire someone.”

Typically, “that is going to be exorbitantly expensive,” Jaime said, but important. “That can make or break a case.”

According to court documents, Probert argued he was a more conscientious parent when it came to following treatment protocols. He also argued Kennewick had more resources than Central Oregon for children with developmental disorders.

He was successful. Victor moved to Kennewick in summer 2010 and kept seeing Green.

With Victor under Green’s care, Probert said, he’s seen “tremendous” improvement.

“We look forward to things now that we wouldn’t have been able to do without Dr. Green.” He cited the example of Victor’s now being able to make pancakes and clean up after himself.

Unproven methods Green is the only medical physician in Oregon listed as a clinician on the website of the Autism Research Institute, though there are a few Oregon naturopathic or chiropractic physicians also listed on the site. According to the website, physicians on the list have asked to be put there.

The Autism Research Institute supports looking at environmental factors that may

cause or exacerbate autism, a goal many find laudable.

Their way of approaching autism treatment is commonly referred to as DAN!, after the work done by some physicians became known as Defeat Autism Now! It has many supporters, both within the medical community and among parents of autistic children. Most notable, perhaps, is model Jenny McCarthy, who wrote a book about her experience.

But some clinicians associated with the group use treatments that many medical physicians find at best benign and at worst harmful.

That protocol “is based on theories concerning autism that are either entirely speculative or rely on ‘scientific data’ that has been entirely discredited,” Dr. Robert Rust, a professor of neurology and pediatrics at the University of Virginia, wrote in an email to Combs.

Dr. Bob Nickel, a developmental pediatrician at Oregon Health & Science University and member of the Oregon Commission on Autism Spectrum Disorder, agreed with Rust. Many of the therapies suggested to families, he said, come from anecdotal reports.

That may suggest an approach, Nickel said, but does not prove its validity. “You need to do the science. You need to do the clinical trials.

And that’s what’s been missing in the alternative therapies.”

For example, physician notes submitted to the court show Victor has taken gentamicin, an antibiotic. Typically, antibiotics are used to treat bacterial infections.

Though he declined to comment on the Probert case directly, citing patient privacy laws, Green said in an interview he uses antibiotics to treat an overgrowth of harmful bacteria sometimes found in the gut of an autistic child.

Dr. Peter Boehm, a pediatrician at Mosaic Medical who treats many autistic children in Central Oregon, said antibiotics have been used in autism treatment, “but without much evidence.”

According to medical records, Green has also suggested Victor take secretin, a hormone. Combs said Victor has taken it and that he had a bad reaction.

The hormone has been the subject of considerable research and, according to practice guidelines from the American Academy of Pediatrics, more than a dozen well-done studies have failed to demonstrate that it is an effective treatment for autism.

Green said most studies have shown secretin ineffective but that he still uses it because “the occasional child will show great improvements.”

On the whole, Green said mainstream medicine “in a way” didn’t get his approach.

“There is so much need for help (for autistic children), and there’s so few physicians that are willing to relearn biochemistry and nutrition and diet.”

The physician said he’s had success in treating many autistic children. “I have lots of kids that have no longer had a diagnosis of autism,” Green said.

“It bothers me that people are

heavy metals out of the body through urine. According to test results, Victor has had elevated levels of lead for several years.

That type of test has been heavily criticized as inaccurate by medical authorities.

The problem with the provoked urine test, said Dr. Sarah Present, a family physician who helped author Oregon’s lead guidelines, is that there are no standards for what would be considered an abnormally high lead level.

In other words, she said, there is no way to interpret a result. A patient will get a number back from the test, but it’s not clear what that number means or if it signifies a high enough level of lead to warrant chelation.

The American College of Medical Toxicology, an organization made up of physicians with expertise in testing for toxic elements, issued a statement in 2009 saying the provoked urine test “has not been scientifically validated, has no demonstrated benefit, and may be harmful when applied in the assessment and treatment of patients in whom there is a concern for metal poisoning.”

Instead, most authorities recommend a blood lead level test. When Victor underwent that test earlier this year, it showed he had a blood lead level of 2 micrograms per deciliter.

The national Centers for Disease Control and Prevention considers a level of 10 or higher elevated, and the Oregon Health Authority, the state’s health department, may recommend chelation at 20 to 25 micrograms of lead per deciliter or higher, said Barbara Zeal, a public health educator in the state’s lead program.

According to court documents, Green determined that, based on the results of Victor’s provoked urine test and several indirect measures of heavy metal toxicity, the boy would benefit from chelation.

willing to come to conclusions without seriously studying the issues.”

In court documents, Green defends his treatment of Victor. He said it would be best if he continued to care for him, without “the threat of further attack” by his mother.

The parents of three of Green’s other patients also submitted declarations to the court supporting his work. All said he had significantly improved their children’s symptoms, and two of the three attributed the abating of all symptoms of autism to Green’s treatment.

Probert, in his declaration, said the same thing about Victor. He and his ex-wife “have been particularly fortunate that Dr. Green agreed to treat Victor,” he wrote. “Victor has benefited tremendously from Dr. Green’s skills and treatments.”

About ‘chelation’ A cornerstone of Victor’s treatment is chelation, a medical process that removes heavy metals and some minerals from the body using chemicals that bind to the metals and allow them to be excreted, primarily through urine.

Chelation is typically done when someone is determined to have heavy metal poisoning. Indeed, in some cases, it can be lifesaving, and hospitals regularly stock chelating medications.

But some physicians said it has been used in autism without much evidence of benefit.

Because the treatment, like many medical interventions, presents some risk, these doctors contend it should not be done in autistic children. According to the National Institutes of Health, rare side effects include heart failure and permanent kidney damage.

Victor has been doing chelation treatments for at least as long as he has been seeing Green, about eight years, according to Combs and Probert.

According to medical records, the chelation is done to treat the toxic effects of an excess of lead in the boy’s body.

Whether Victor could benefit from chelation depends on whether he does, in fact, have too much lead in his body.

Here is where Green’s view diverges from the mainstream approach.

Green said he disagreed with the mainstream approach to lead testing because blood lead levels only show recent, not total lifetime, exposure. He also said he treats what he calls lead “toxicity,” which he distinguished from lead poisoning. “There’s no safe level of lead,” Green said.

“If you find lead in the system, it’s a problem.”

To test for lead toxicity, Green gave Victor a test called a provoked urine test, which uses a compound to flush

Oregon Continued from A1 Kitzhaber also pointed to pay raises that Lariviere approved for some faculty and administrators. They came, according to the governor, after an agreement with other university presidents not to hike pay during the current two-year budget cycle.

“His decision not only undermined the board, it undermined my own directive and the credibility of my administration with the other campuses that complied with the agreement,” Kitzhaber said in the statement.

Kitzhaber said Lariviere’s decision has created difficulty for other schools and has been a barrier to completing contract negotiations with faculty at Portland State University.

Lariviere has been the president since March 2009.

The board will meet Monday in Portland to formally vote to dismiss him.

Lariviere told students and faculty Tuesday he’d been informed his contract will not be renewed when it expires at the end of June. He blamed an “ongoing difference of opinion over the future of the UO.” Kitzhaber said the situation had nothing to do with a difference of opinion but was driven by Lariviere’s conduct.

Lariviere sees UO as Oregon’s flagship university, and he has lobbied for the school to be governed and funded in-

From previous page Mainstream physicians have been particularly disparaging about using this treatment in autistic children. Most say it carries risk without any benefit.

“It’s being applied in situations where there’s little to no evidence that it’s an appropriate treatment,” said Steinman, the University of Washington physician. “I would say it’s one of the (treatments) I most strongly caution families against.”

Rust, the University of Virginia doctor, called chelation “dangerous” and said it should not be used.

Nickel, the developmental pediatrician in Oregon, said he didn’t use it and cited the fact that children have died in the treatment.

Death can occur if the treatment pulls too much calcium out of the body, perhaps by using excessively strong chelating agents or incorrect dosing, according to the CDC. Calcium is essential for the regulation of all muscles, including the heart, and without it the heart can become fatally impaired.

In one case, an autistic boy in Pennsylvania died from the effects of chelation. The boy’s doctor, an investigation found, had likely mixed up the forms of a chelating drug to use, giving him the wrong one.

Green, according to medical records, has used a different chelating drug with Victor than the one used in that incident. The drug he uses, succimer, has been approved by the federal government to treat blood lead levels above 45 micrograms per deciliter.

It was not implicated in the deaths made public, though it does have a long list of potential side effects, including vomiting, diarrhea, loss of appetite, pain, fevers, headaches and elevated cholesterol.

The National Institutes of Health had planned to study chelation in autistic children but canceled the study in 2008.

According to news reports, the NIH said there was “no clear evidence for direct benefit … and the study presents more than a minimal risk.”

Even some practitioners who have been associated with the Autism Research Institute — an oft-cited one is Harvard’s Dr. Martha Herbert — have distanced themselves from chelation. She told a Chicago newspaper in 2009: “I’m not defending chelation. … I will sue you if you say that.”

Changing situation Combs did not introduce all these doubts in court and did not use these experts. The outside evidence she did introduce was not mentioned until 2011, a full eight years after the divorce began.

“I complained about it, but I didn’t do very good questioning,” she said. “I didn’t know what type of questions to ask.”

In March of this year, she filed through attorney Dan Strausbaugh a motion to reopen the case to introduce evidence of the controversy

Monday vote A special public meeting of the State Board of Higher Education will be held in Portland on Monday to formally vote on the termination of University of Oregon President Richard Lariviere. The meeting begins at 3 p.m. in Room 515 of the Student Academic and Recreational Center at Portland State University, 1800 S.W. Sixth Ave.

Protesters wave picket signs in support of University of Oregon President Richard Lariviere outside of Saturday’s Oregon-Oregon State Civil War game at Autzen Stadium in Eugene. Signs read “Real Civil War: OUS (Oregon University System) stomps UO” and “Fired for pursuing excellence.”

dependently of the state’s other six public schools governed by the Oregon University System.

Kitzhaber said he personally supports considering some of Lariviere’s ideas but that there’s not enough support in state government to enact them. And he said an “orchestrated media blitz” from the UO community in response to Lariviere’s apparent ouster has made some people even more resistant to Lariviere’s ideas.

around Victor’s medical treatment.

In support of the motion, she filed her own affidavit, as did two independent physicians, Drs. Stephen Barrett and James Laidler. The physicians’ affidavits largely echo the concerns of other mainstream physicians, noting that chelation can have significant risk and that some of the supplements and medications may have side effects without much evidence of benefit in autism.

At the same time, Green also filed a declaration opposing the motion to reopen the case and defending his treatment.

He questioned the credentials of Combs’ two experts, neither of whom currently treat autistic children.

In considering whether to modify an existing custody order, judges will look for whether there has been a significant change in circumstance of the child’s situation, said Jaime, the UC Davis attorney.

In this case, she said, the child has had autism, the child was seeing the primary care physician, and “Mom was aware of all this stuff. So what’s changed?”

Had Combs brought her concerns into court in the initial custody hearing, said UO’s Harris, it might have been different. When parents are first divorcing and figuring out custody, “you are not going to be able to maintain the status quo definitionally. … It’s going to be easier to make an argument at the point of the initial change.”

Last May, Tiktin denied Combs’ motion. In an opinion, Tiktin said, “the court can find not one word in her entire declaration which even suggests that Victor is not doing well and is not benefiting from current treatment.”

Besides failing to find harm in Victor’s treatment protocol, Tiktin said he could not find evidence of how a change might improve the situation.

“There (is not) any suggestion that there is a better or more effective course of treatment or therapy which Victor could become engaged in and what that might be.”

He footnotes part of Green’s declaration in his decision, affirming that Probert is the best person to care for and make decisions about Victor’s treatment.

Combs said she does not know what she will do next.

She moved to Montana this summer, for her husband’s job, and now lives even farther from her son.

When Victor turns 18, she will need to go through another court battle for guardianship, she said, so she may wait for that.

Strausbaugh said some decisions in the hearing had largely been built on the assumption that Victor was getting appropriate treatment.

“The question became, what if the underlying assumption, what if that’s wrong?” he said. “That could change everything.”

“His responsibility to the Board of Higher Education and his contribution to the larger issues and success of

the entire system fall short,” Kitzhaber said. “Indeed, Dr. Lariviere’s actions have done damage to our vision for high-

er education and other institutions of higher learning and, ironically, have served to undercut his own aspirations for the University of Oregon.”

Protesters at Autzen Stadium on Saturday said Lariviere has been an outstanding leader for the school.

“We feel (terrible),” said Peter Keyes, an art professor and a member of UO’s Senate Executive Committee, while wearing a fedora and holding a protest sign. “We think … the best thing that’s happened at the U of O in 20 years is hav-

ing this guy as president. He’s innovative, he’s smart and he cares about the institution.”

Inside the stadium, large yellow signs hung from each corner of the stadium that read “I stand with the hat.” The Duck mascot was also wearing a fedora. And some protesters walked around the stadium handing out “We stand with the hat” fliers to the fans filing into Autzen.

The fliers give a bullet list of what has happened and what the group expects to happen next as well as some background information.

“The university was going into a really good direction under his leadership,” said Sara Hodges, a psychology professor at UO for 16 years. “We’re excited about the changes he’s made. He’s been a really excellent president for academics and concern for the state of Oregon.

“This has been done without any input from either faculty or students.”

Cases Continued from A1 • Angela Lynn Chan: Chan disappeared on March 27, 1989, after her husband, Bruce Chan, reported dropping her off at their Redmond home. Bruce Chan was on leave from his Camp Pendleton Marine Corps base in California for Easter, and the couple had been trap-shooting in an area near State Highway 126. Her yellow Datsun B-210 was found along the highway near Dry Canyon on March 29, 1989, with her purse and shoes inside. Chan was 29 at the time of her disappearance. She was never found.

• Ron Louis Nordstrom: Nordstrom was last seen June 9, 1999, when he left his home on Yucca Avenue in Redmond on his blue mountain bike. He was reported missing by family five days later. He hasn’t been seen since. Nordstrom was 46 at the time of his disappearance.

• Corwin Charles Osborn: On June 17, 2001, the 45-yearold left the Devils Lake Trailhead to hike the North, Middle and South Sister mountains. Osborn, of Bellevue, Wash., was last seen by a hiker who passed him on the

Squad Continued from A1 “They’ve got time to read all the reports, go back out and re-interview people who are still around,” Lt. Chad Davis said.

So every week, Art Johnson, Bob Cosner, Dan Anslinger and Pete Wanless walk through the doors of the Sheriff’s Office, cracking binders filled with old reports, calling long-forgotten witnesses and scouring old evidence for new leads.

There’s Wickersham, of course. Johnson is working that case right now. But there’s also Angela Chan, who disappeared in March 1989 after her husband dropped her off at their home in Redmond.

Her car was found along Oregon Highway 126 near Dry Canyon two days later, her purse and shoes still inside.

Anslinger reopened that case.

And there’s Ron Louis Nordstrom, whose disappearance Wanless is investigating.

Nordstrom was last seen in June 1999 when he rode away from his home in Redmond on a blue mountain bike. Reported missing by family five days later, he was never seen again.

Cosner is trying to figure out the disappearance of Gary Alan Larsen, who was last seen on Sept. 16, 2001, after breakfast with friends at Shari’s in Redmond. Larsen knew people from Madras to La Pine and associated with drug users. He drove a white 1995 Dodge pickup, and neither he nor the truck was ever found.

Search and rescue volunteers searched 150 miles of the wilderness in the week after Osborn disappeared, but found nothing.

• Gary Alan Larsen: Larsen, 28, was last seen by friends on Sept.

16, 2001, at Shari’s Restaurant in Redmond, where they were having breakfast after staying out all night, reportedly spending part of the evening at the Fireside Grille and Lounge.

At the time of his disappearance Larsen lived with his mother, worked for Hap Taylor & Sons Inc., now Knife River Corp., and was associated with known drug users. He drove a white 1995 Dodge pickup, license number XTN945. Neither Larsen nor the vehicle was ever found.

• Dee Marion McLemore: McLemore went missing in October 1989 after he departed the Sunriver airport in his 1984 Beechcraft Bonanza.

He was headed for Reno, Nev., and had some health problems at the time of the flight. Authorities believe his airplane crashed somewhere in Oregon, California or Nevada, but the wreckage has never been found.

“The primary thing is to bring closure to the family. And we don’t like to see someone running around (who got away with murder).”

squad members work on those, three other cases hang over them: Baby Doe, found decapitated in a garbage can near Ferguson’s Market in Terrebonne in May 1986; Corwin Osborn, a man who set off to hike the South, Middle and North Sisters in June 2001 and never returned; and Dee Marion McLemore, who left the Sunriver airport in 1989 headed for Reno in his Beechcraft Bonanza but never landed.

So the four members of the cold case squad work their way through documents, interviews and evidence, searching for clues.

Johnson is a retired federal Drug Enforcement Agency official. He was part of the original cold case squad that formed in 2005. He said federal law enforcement officials face a mandatory retirement at age 55, and it seemed a waste to not use his expertise and training to continue trying to solve crimes.

Johnson was paired with Anslinger, a retired police chief from Ketchikan, Alaska.

Part of the draw, of course, is to feel the camaraderie of being back in a law enforce-

Bend Police Department 541-322-2960 • Judy Reeder: Last seen Feb. 1, 1962, Reeder was a 17-year-old Bend High homecoming princess who parked her 1955 Ford sedan along Riverside Boulevard at 10 p.m. and was never seen alive again. Her body was found under the footbridge in 4 inches of water a day later by children playing in Drake Park. An autopsy revealed she had been struck in the head 13 times, possibly with a two-byfour, and evidence showed she was dragged to an area near the retaining wall of Mirror Pond.

• Mary Jo Templeton: On April 30, 1979, a Pacific Power and Light employee found a human thigh on the grate above the turbine at the north end of Mirror Pond. That thigh and additional body parts found by scuba teams in the next weeks were identified as those of Templeton, a waitress and hostess in Redmond and Bend.

Templeton last spoke to a friend on April 26, 1979, and the state medical examiner determined her body had been cut apart with a heavy knife. In 1988, the FBI’s violent crimes clearinghouse found that the dismemberment matched four murders in Missouri and two in Tennessee, all of which remain unsolved.

ment office. But there’s more to it.

“There’s that mentality. I like to see the bad guys go to jail,” Johnson said. “I want to see cases solved.”

Wanless worked as a Secret Service agent and retired as a captain from the Sheriff’s Office.

For the past few months he’s been going through three volumes on Nordstrom’s 1999 disappearance.

“A lot of the players are dead,” he said. “What I’m doing now is due diligence. We think he probably is dead, so I’m doing credit checks and Social Security checks and looking for any activity that would lead us to believe he might be alive.”

So far, he’s found nothing.

Eventually he’ll switch cases with Cosner, his partner, and add yet another set of eyes on the case. Cosner retired as a sergeant from the Sheriff’s Office after 23 years in law enforcement. The pair joined the cold case squad a few months ago.

“Maybe the other person will see something I missed,” Wanless said.

Investigations reopened The cold case squad doesn’t always agree with how the initial investigation took place.

“Sometimes it feels like somebody came to an immediate conclusion, and they focused so much on it that they lost sight” of other leads, Wanless said. “You can see that in a couple cases.”

But that’s easy to say now, Wanless noted, with the clarity of hindsight.

• Shannon Elizabeth Rishel: Rishel, 25, of Redmond, was reported missing by her boyfriend, Jeff Gilmore, on July 9, 1995. Gilmore told authorities they were driving on a dirt road near Rufus, surrounded by 800-foot cliffs, when his white Camaro became stuck. He said he fell asleep and when he awoke Rishel was gone.

Rishel’s clothing, purse and other personal items were found in the car, although she may have had a change of clothes with her.

• Danny Sweet: Sweet, 31, was reported missing on Jan. 2, 1993, by Mitchell residents who last saw him. His skeletal remains were found three years later by two antler hunters in a forested area eight miles northeast of Mount Vernon.

Portland Police Bureau 503-823-0446 • Katie Eggleston: Born and raised in Redmond, 22year-old Eggleston was last seen on Aug. 2, 1993, near Lloyd Center in northeast Portland. Her car was found in the mall parking lot by a security guard that night, unlocked with the keys in the ignition and Eggleston’s purse on the seat. She was never found.

“I think I hope that sometime we’ll get a break and we’ll actually find out who did it,” Johnson said.

For some cases, it might be a person arrested on a drug charge who has information.

In others, it could be a person who can no longer live with the pressure of keeping details from authorities. But Johnson said someone probably holds the details to one of the cases, and he wants to find that person.

“I truly believe there’s somebody out there who knows something.”

ACUPUNCTURE

QUESTION: Dr. Villano, as I age I have noticed hollowing around my eyes in addition to excess skin. What options are available to me?

QUESTION: I suffer from heartburn after every meal. I take over-the-counter antacids to help with indigestion but it doesn’t seem to be working.

With the holidays coming up, I don’t want to be miserable at the dinner table! What can Chinese Medicine do for my gastrointestinal difficulties?

ANSWER: For upper and lower eyelid hollowing there are several options. A Michael E. Villano, temporary option is a dermal iller such M.D. as Restylane or Juvederm to reill the area.

A more permanent option is fat grafting, often called fat transfer or lipstructure. In this procedure the facial plastic surgeon uses the patient’s own tissue to replace fat loss in the eyelid areas and restore a more youthful look. Oftentimes, a traditional blepharoplasty (eye surgery) is performed. While this may lead to a more refreshed look, a traditional blepharoplasty removes fat from the eye area, which I do not recommend for someone with eyelid hollowing.

MICHAEL E. VILLANO, M.D.

ANSWER: Unfortunately, the use (and often overuse) of antacid medication is being relied upon to help us digest our food. Our bodies are quite capable of this task when our systems are functioning properly. Acupuncture can help get the Qi (pronounced ‘chee’) flowing in the right direction! When the stomach qi is out of balance, heart burn or acid reflux occurs forcing things to move up instead of down. Stress is a major contributor to many digestive issues. Not only can acupuncture help rectify the qi, it will also aid in relaxing the body and bringing it back into balance. Generally it takes a few treatments to get satisfactory results and Chinese herbs may be prescribed to help facilitate the process. When we rely on medication to take over vital bodily functions, our bodies forget how to do it independently. With the help of Chinese medicine, the body is encouraged to remember how to get things moving in the right direction.

TAT T O O R E M O VA L

QUESTION: Does the Veterans Administration provide long-term care benefits for veterans?

To qualify for the Aid and Attendance benefit, your physician needs to establish that you require daily assistance by others for dressing, undressing, bathing, cooking, eating, putting on and removing prosthetics, leaving home, etc. You do not have to require assistance with all of these. There simply needs to be adequate medical evidence that you cannot function completely on your own.

There are some income limitations regarding eligibility, so contacting the VA for the most current information will help you make an informed decision. You may also call a retirement counselor at Touchmark: 541-383-1414.

ANSWER: Male pattern baldness is the most common type of hair loss in men and is related to your genes and male sex hormones.

Adam Angeles, When hair follicles shrink over time, they M.D. become shorter and thinner and eventually it stops producing hair. The gold standard for treatment is hair transplantation which is permanent. A new technologic breakthrough is now available (NeoGraft) that transplants single follicular units (single hairs) with no scarring, no downtime and natural looking permanent hair. The advantage of hair transplantation is that it is completely customizable. You can do a little or a lot in a single session. At Bend Plastic Surgery we offer NeoGraft technology and are currently performing hair restoration for both women and men.

energy of light. A laser is a device which is designed to produce one or more specific wavelengths of light. Tattoo ink is removed by using this specific wavelength of light which passes into the skin, but is absorbed by the ink. The rapid absorption of light energy causes the tattoo ink to break into tiny particles which can then be removed by the body’s natural filtering systems.

The RevLITE laser provides maximum tattoo removal while leaving the surrounding skin unharmed.

For patients who want to have their tattoos removed, The Enhancement Center offers superior results in treating even the most stubborn tattoos and multiple colors effectively and efficiently–with minimal risk of scarring, skin pigment changes or

discomfort.

Tattoo removal in the past often required surgery and/or skin grafts. These procedures were not only painful but often left patients scarred. The Enhancement Center offers the latest laser tattoo removal technology. Our laser tattoo removal treatment targets the ink while leaving healthy skin cells intact, therefore reducing scar tissue formation. You may have noticed the tattoo that was once bright, has faded over time. This is due to your body’s attempt to break down the ink. Laser tattoo removal significantly accelerates this process by blasting the ink into tiny particles making it easier for the body to remove and absorb.

A typical tattoo may take 6-10 treatments to remove. Factors that affect the number of treatments include color of tattoo, color of your skin, type of ink used, as well as the size and location of the tattoo.

Call us today for a consultation appointment to see if this procedure is right for you.

stop? I am worried that I will grind them away. My dentist made me a guard but I take it out while I’m sleeping without knowing.

ANSWER: Bruxism,

Kelley Mingus, D.M.D.

Grinding of your teeth is primarily a musculature problem with a neurological component. It can almost always be linked back to slight developmental problems as youngsters and is linked to the quality of the airway during our early developmental years. The results of these early developmental problems leave us with an imbalance within the muscles associated with our bite.

When our teeth come together the muscles that close our bite and the muscles that open our bite should be neutral. If they are not neutral, then a muscle imbalance, or a “muscle war” starts and results in bruxism.

Treatment can be in the form of a night guard if you are a mild grinder, only grind at night, and can tolerate an appliance while you sleep. If you don’t fit in this category then you need a different kind of treatment. Ideal treatment will stop your grinding and create harmony within your system. We treat moderate to severe bruxism by studying the muscles to determine the ideal position for your bite based on neutral muscles. The studies are very simple but involve sophisticated computer software and result in a very detailed understanding of why you grind. Once we have determined the problem, treatment is very predictable and usually results in the elimination of grinding.

Treatment should always focus on the problem and not just the symptom.

MORBID OBESITY & DIABETES

QUESTION: I sprained my ankle about 2 weeks ago. When can I start playing basketball again?

A NSWER : Current research has shown that Bariatric surgery including Gastric Bypass, Gastric Sleeve and Gastric Banding (LapBand) will improve, if not cure, Type II Thuy Hughes, Diabetes as well as other co-morbid conditions DO including hypertension and high cholesterol.

With Type II Diabetes the body does not produce enough insulin which is necessary for the body to use glucose or blood sugar for energy. As a result, blood glucose can build up in the blood where it can wreak havoc and cause multisystem complications. The complications of diabetes include heart disease, blindness, nerve and kidney damage. Traditional treatments for diabetes may not be enough to control the disease.

A 2004 study in the Journal of the American Medical Association (JAMA) showed that of 22,000 people who underwent Bariatric Surgery 76.8% of the people experienced complete resolution of their diabetes and it improved in 86% of the people.

PAIN MEDICINE QUESTION: I’m interested in spinal decompression or traction for my back pain. How do I know if it will help me?

ANSWER: Spinal decompression is a non-surgical, non-invasive treatment for acute or chronic back pain and pain and numbness radiating into the legs or arms.

Even patients who have previously had surgery and continue to have pain can potentially benefit from spinal decompression. Commonly treated conditions for spinal Sather Ekblad, decompression include: Low back pain, Sciatica (leg D.C. and foot pain/numbness), Post surgical patients with continued pain, Neck pain and arm/hand symptoms.

We offer spinal decompression alongside all of our other treatments and submit claims to insurance or offer reasonable cash prices per treatment, unlike other clinics which sell spinal decompression in packages with high pressure sales tactics. Many patients have been dealing with their pain for months or even years. As time progresses, this pain often becomes more persistent and may increase in intensity. Many of these cases are responsive only to decompression therapy.

or grinding of your teeth, is a very common problem. It is however a complex problem to completely understand.

Until recently, we were unable to prevent grinding and therefore were limited to treatment in the form of a night guard. Night guards can be effective at protecting your teeth if your grinding is just limited to night time grinding. Most people that suffer from bruxism are not limited to just night time grinding and actually have times during the day when they grind their teeth. The severity of bruxism can vary dramatically from one individual to another. Some cases are so severe that they can literally grind their teeth down to the gums.

ANSWER: There are 5 ESSENTIAL guidelines to avoid this.

Dr. Azure Karli Naturopathic Physician

2. Move your body first thing every am. You tend to burn more fat stores at that time of the day and you rev up your metabolism for the rest. Cardio is best, but anything will do. Shoot for 30 minutes. If you miss a day, divvy up the time for the rest of the week.

3. WATER. Drink half your weight in ounces every day.

4. Hormone balancing. Make sure your adrenal, thyroid, and reproductive hormones are on track. No sense working harder than needed to shed the pounds.

5. Nourish your spirit by taking it easy on yourself. Just stressing about weight gain will help you hold onto more weight!

Dawne Itnyre, 43, is greeted by her cat, Levi, while spending a portion of her day in a Bend shopping center parking lot Saturday afternoon. Itnyre, who lost her job in August, has been living out of her car the past couple of weeks.

— Dawne Itnyre, homeless veteran and mother of two

A Navy veteran, Itnyre has applied three times for a voucher that would get her and her sons into housing. The Department of Veterans Affairs has turned her down each time.

A Bend-area grocery store manager was struck and killed by an Amtrak train while chasing his dog during a duck hunting outing in southeast Washington.

The victim was identified as 47-yearold Steve Allison, of Powell Butte, who was a longtime manager at the Albertsons supermarket in northeast Bend. Company spokeswoman Lilia Rodriguez said the death was a tremendous loss for the Allison family and for Albertsons, where Allison had worked for more than 30 years.

Benton County, Wash., Sheriff’s Sgt. Bob Brockman says Allison was duck hunting with two friends early Friday morning about 10 miles east of Roosevelt, Wash. Witnesses told police Allison was trying to chase down his dog and stepped directly in front of the train.

Officials declined to speak about the specifics of Itnyre’s case, but in the view of the VA she is insufficiently homeless to qualify for a voucher. The program can’t arrest her slide toward homelessness — it can only rescue her once she’s already there.

Itnyre said she’s tried to make this point when she’s talked to VA caseworkers, but with little success.

“Every time, they ask, ‘Are you sleeping in a car, are you in an RV, or a tent in the woods?’ ” she said. “I have children; I’m trying to keep from getting to that point.”

Itnyre’s saga is the latest episode in a multimonth deterioration of relations between the VA and Central Oregon Veterans Outreach, a nonprofit that works closely with veterans in need.

COVO Executive Director Chuck Hemingway said the once-strong partnership has frayed in recent months, in part because of his growing frustration over the VA’s resistance to his efforts to get Itnyre qualified for a housing voucher.

As Hemingway tells it, the VA office in Portland recently directed its caseworkers in Central Oregon to cut off contact with COVO. Chris Anderson from the Portland VA office describes the directive differently. Anderson said he asked Hemingway to address any questions or concerns about VA operations to him, rather than burdening the already-busy local caseworkers.

New sawmill Machinery for a new sawmill which will be operated

by Sig Clark seven and a half miles southeast of Bend, only a short distance off the road to Burns, has been received in Bend from Blue Slide, Wash.

Mr. Clark says the plant will have a capacity of 50,000 feet a day but will not be run at first to cut more than

25,000 or 30,000. It will be located at first on the Wilson place adjoining W.J. McGillvray’s ranch, and first class lumber turned out as the timber in that territory is good. In connection with the sawmill a planer will also be operated, Mr. Clark says. He expects to furnish a large quantity of lumber to homesteaders in the Millican country as the mill will be the nearest one to that district. With good downhill roads, the lumber can also be hauled to Bend cheaply.

Mr. Clark expects to have the mill in operation within a short time.

Turning the city of Bend into a fully accessible town for people with disabilities might be put on hold for a little while.

Susan Duncan, Bend’s accessibility manager, quit her job last week to take a position with the engineering firm WHPacific, and officials are figuring out how to fill the vacancy.

Duncan gave her notice Nov. 14, and her last day was Friday. She said she planned to start at WHPacific on Monday, and that she’ll be doing similar work for the company.

“It’s just a great opportunity,” Duncan said.

“It’s a good time to be able to take all that I’ve done with the city and take it into the private sector.”

Oversaw much of 2 settlements The city hired Duncan in August 2009 to replace Linda Crossman, who resigned as Bend’s accessibility manager after holding the position for more than three years.

Duncan has presided over the city’s heavily scrutinized attempts to meet the demands of the Americans with Disability Act. Much of that work was spurred by two settlements the city entered into to meet ADA standards, including one with the U.S. Department of Justice and another with Disability Rights Oregon.

Last summer Duncan completed work on the Disability Rights Oregon settlement, which required the city to make sure all its bus stops were ADA compliant. That 2007 settlement was the result of a lawsuit filed by several Bend residents with disabilities who claimed the then-newly formed Bend Area Transit system was not accessible.

Duncan also oversaw the construction of hundreds of curb ramps throughout the city, something that was required under the 2004 Justice Department settlement.

Bend-La Pine, COCC win grants to help low-income students

By Patrick Cliff The Bulletin

Bend-La Pine Schools and Central Oregon Community College each won a state grant to help low-income students succeed in high school and college.

The programs focus on middle and high school students, according to Adrienne Enriquez, the state’s program manager for the Oregon Access Challenge Grant. COCC’s program will be aimed at Native American students, while Bend-La Pine’s will be centered on La Pine-area students.

“If we start planting seeds early on, that (college is) a possibility, that it can be afforded

… then it becomes a much greater possibility,” Enriquez said.

The grants are awarded by the state, but the money comes from the federal government. Oregon awarded about $900,000 in grants this year to 20 precollege program across the state, with Bend-La Pine and COCC the only Central Oregon-based organizations to win money this year.

COCC will match its nearly $55,000 grant with about $42,000, and that money will pay for a new early college program for Native American students from the college’s district.

Roosevelt is nearing equator on way south President Roosevelt neared the equator today on his journey to the Buenos Aires peace conference.

The cruiser Indianapolis, which is carrying him, and its escort, the cruiser Chester, late this evening will enter the equatorial regions, ruled by the mythical King Neptune.

Secret agents warned the president that the underwater monarch was preparing to summon him to appear before the royal court, always held as a ship crosses the equator, to explain “his gross negligence in failing to carry Maine and Vermont.”

The president as “Senior Pollywog” — one who has never been initiated when crossing the equator — posted a watch for Davy Jones, who was on the way with subpoenas. He will be sighted tonight.

The Indianapolis will stop and Davy Jones will come up over the bow with the official orders.

The orders will direct the president and his party to appear before King Neptune and his court, who will be enthroned on the Indianapolis’ quarter deck tomorrow.

The area owes much to pioneer Bend mill When Jim Hill pushed his Oregon Trunk rails into Bend 50 years ago this fall he provided the key with which to unlock the area’s vast timber resources.

Within three months — on January 3, 1912, to be exact — the first east-bound carload of lumber rumbled northward out of Bend. It had been cut at the Bend Company mill, located on the west side of the Deschutes just south of the present Tumalo Avenue bridge.

There were already a number of pioneer lumbermen on the scene when Hill, the “Empire Builder,” drove his golden spike in October, 1911. Among them was the late Clyde M. McKay, whose colorful career in Bend would span more than 40 years and cover an amazing variety of business and community activities.

McKay had first visited the Bend area about the turn of the century to survey the timber prospects for the Mueller interests of Iowa.

Early in 1912 he was back in Bend to take a major role in organization of the Bend Company. Along with much of the original Drake townsite, the company had acquired a struggling little sawmill. In April, McKay and the Bend Company, with an eye on Hill’s progress up the valley of the Deschutes, proceeded to enlarge the mill’s facilities and began operations with a daily cut of some 30,000 board feet.

Late in June the company has a new logging camp in operation two and a half miles upriver from Bend and by the time Hill arrived the mill was humming briskly.

That first load of lumber which rolled from Bend in January was destined for Hastings, Nebraska, where it was made into sashes and doors as a test of the possibili-

MORNING’S FIRST LIGHT John Hart captured this Deschutes River sunrise at the Dillon Falls Day Use Area. The photo, taken at 6:30 a.m. on Oct. 21, is the result of three exposures using the camera’s high dynamic range feature, which were then blended together with Photomatix software to get additional detail and color that would be lost with any single exposure. Hart used a Canon 5D Mark II camera and a Canon 24-70mm f/2.8L lens.

ties of the yellow pine of Central Oregon.

The test was successful.

The die was cast. Bend was destined to become a mill town.

In a few years disaster struck the Bend Company.

The mill was destroyed by fire in 1915. However, by then plans were well underway for two giants, Brooks-Scanlon and Shevlin-Hixon, to build plants at Bend.

The old Bend Company mill passed into history. Small by comparison with its successors, the mill had played its role in the development of the area’s chief industry.

The Bulletin provided a fitting epitaph when it wrote that the mill had “served to establish a market for Deschutes pine.”

25 YEARS AGO For the week ending Nov. 26, 1986

Magill Drug still prescribing cures When Lloyd Magill opened his drug store in downtown Bend 70 years ago he probably didn’t realize he was beginning what today could be considered almost as much a museum as a working pharmacy.

But that’s the way it has turned out. And that’s the way Roger Gunson, the pharmacist who bought Magill Drug, after its founder died, in 1966 plans to keep it.

Established in 1916 in the O’Kane Building, the store is the oldest retail business in Bend still operating out of its original location.

But it could also be considered a collector’s paradise, judging by Gunson’s large display of hand-blown glass bottles still containing the original ingredients Magill used circa 1920 in preparing remedies for man and beast.

Magill graduated in 1912 from the College of Pharmacy at Oregon Agricultural College, now Oregon State University. He came to Bend in 1913 according to his daughter Peggy Sawyer.

“In the early days,” recalls Sawyer, “people would come in for medicines for themselves, start talking with Daddy about a sick cow, and he’d make a preparation for it, too.”

Another artifact left over from the early days of the store is the giant, brass “Toledo NoSprings” scale that stands guard by the front door.

“That scale has been there as long as I can remember,” says Sawyer, who has lived in Bend all her life. “Many people grew up getting weighed on that scale, and now they are bringing their children.

But what customers don’t usually see — unless Gunson invites them down into

a storage room in the basement — is an archive of every prescription both Magill and Gunson have filled since the store opened.

“We’re into our second million,” says Gunson, adding that the first one — “I’ve forgotten what it was for” — was written on Nov. 16, 1916 by Dr. J.C. Vandevert, who practiced medicine in an office upstairs in the O’Kane Building.

Another office upstairs was rented by Dr. W.G. Manning, a dentist, who was Ma-

gill’s first customer.

“He came down to buy a 10cent cigar,” recalls Sawyer. “It was the first sale.” She says she still has the dime, locked away in a bank safety deposit box.

But locked away in the store’s basement, along with the boxes of old prescriptions, still more medicine bottles and factory-made preparations, is a can of “Dr. Fowlers Aphrodisiac Pills” Gunson keeps around as a “conversation piece”.

The small, red, oblong shaped pills resemble “Red Hots”, a cinnamon-flavored candy popular today.

“I don’t have any idea how many there are and I’ve never had them analyzed,” says Gunson, who added that he has been waiting since he bought the store for one of Bend’s older, red-hot lovers to ask for a supply.

“I’ve been kinda wanting for one of those guys to come in,” he says, “but maybe the pills didn’t work.”

SUNDAY, NOVEMBER 27, 2011 • THE BULLETIN

O N Memorial planned for massacred Chinese gold miners The Associated Press PORTLAND — It may be too late to seek justice for the 19th-century massacre of nearly three dozen Chinese gold miners by white frontiersmen, but one group of friends says it’s never too late to honor their memory.

The friends, who call themselves the Chinese Massacre Memorial Committee, plan to bring a monument to the Snake River cove where the gold miners were robbed and killed on May 25, 1887.

The killers were believed to be a gang of Oregon horse thieves, ranch hands and a 15-year-old schoolboy. They could have robbed the unarmed miners without killing them, said R. Gregory Nokes of West Linn, author of a book about the massacre and one of the friends working on the memorial.

“It was really a savage act of racial hatred,” Nokes told The Oregonian newspaper.

The memorial committee plans to have a helicopter deliver the 4-by-5-foot granite monument to the cove for a ceremony commemorating the killings. It begins June 21. The monument will be engraved in English, Chinese and Nez Perce with the words: “Chinese Massacre Cove. Site of the 1887 massacre of as many as 34 Chinese gold miners. No one was held accountable.”

The brutal killers are believed to have hacked their victims with axes after they were dead. The crime was discovered when the mutilated bodies began showing up 65 miles downstream in Lewiston, Idaho.

“It was the most coldblooded, cowardly treachery I have ever heard tell of on this coast,” Judge Joseph K. Vincent, a 19th-century Idaho justice of the peace and U.S. commissioner, is quoted as saying in Nokes’ book. “Every one was shot and cut up and stripped and thrown in the river.”

The killers’ take probably amounted to 312 ounces of gold dust valued at roughly $5,000 at the 1887 rate of exchange of $16 per ounce, Nokes said. One of the robbers, 21-year-old J.T. Canfield, was delegated to sell the gold for money and probably ended up with all of it, he said.

Six Oregon men eventually faced murder charges in the massacre. Hiram Maynard, Hezekiah Hughes and a schoolboy named Robert McMillan, all of Wallowa County, were tried and found innocent in 1888. The ringleaders, Canfield, Homer LaRue and Bruce “Blue” Evans, fled Wallowa County and were never caught.

Another suspected conspirator, Frank E. Vaughan, turned state’s evidence and wasn’t charged, but a relative later said he “was guilty as sin.”

Canfield, who ended up with the Chinese gold, is believed to have spent 10 years in a Kansas prison for stealing mules. Afterward, he went to Texas, then owned a blacksmith shop in Glenns Ferry, Idaho, Nokes said. He may have achieved some local prominence, because at his death in 1929 at age 63, his tombstone was the biggest in the Glenns Rest Cemetery.

Among the layered tragedies of the massacre was the loss of the identities of the men who died. Only 11 names were left behind — among them Chea Ling, Kong Mun-kow, Ah Yow and Chea Lin-chung. But all the names had English spellings, leaving modern historians with no real idea who they were without the precise Chinese characters to go by.

Maggie Daley, 68, was former first lady of Chicago The Associated Press CHICAGO — Maggie Daley, the wife of former Chicago Mayor Richard M. Daley and a gracious promoter of the city’s cultural and educational programs, has died. She was 68.

The former Chi- FEATURED cago first lady, who OBITUARY had been diagnosed with breast cancer in 2002, died Thursday Daley night, famin 2009 ily spokeswoman Jacquelyn Heard told The Associated Press. Daley had been a reserved and dignified presence at her husband’s side during his 22 eventful years as mayor.

Heard said Daley was surrounded by her husband and children when she died just after 6 p.m. CDT. “The mayor and his family would like to thank the people of Chicago for the many kindnesses they’ve shown Mrs. Daley over the years, and they appreciate your prayers during this time,� Heard said.

When she first learned she had breast cancer in June 2002, Daley said she was shocked. “But you pick up and you move on. ‌ I’m not alone here. There are a lot of people who have experienced this,â€? Daley said in the weeks after the diagnosis.

Rahm Emanuel, who succeeded Richard M. Daley as mayor, said Chicago had “lost a warm and gracious first lady who contributed immeasurably to our city.� “While Mayor Daley served as the head of this city, Maggie was its heart,�

Emanuel said in a statement. “Of all her accomplishments, Maggie’s most treasured role was as a wife, mother, and grandmother.�

President Barack Obama, who is from Chicago, said in a statement that her efforts on behalf of the city’s children “live on as national models for how to create environments for children to learn and grow outside the classroom.�

The Daleys’ daughter, Lally, had moved up her wedding from New Year’s Eve to Nov. 17 so her mother could fully participate.

The former mayor said his wife had a difficult summer, and a longtime mayoral aide said she had suffered setbacks and was not getting around as much as she normally did. “Tonight, the state of Illinois lost a great treasure,�

Illinois Gov. Pat Quinn said in a statement released Thursday night. “Maggie Daley was a woman for all seasons who treated Chicago residents like family and served up hope and inspiration wherever she went.�

When Richard Daley was elected to his first term as Chicago’s mayor in 1989, he thanked his wife in his acceptance speech, calling her “the best campaigner in the family.� She was with him at the September 2010 news conference when he announced he wouldn’t seek another term. He left office in May 2011.

During his time in office, Richard Daley would routinely tear up when he spoke about his wife. They had met while he was campaigning for the Illinois Senate and were married in 1972. Eventually, their partnership became a steady force for the city during his at-times turbulent two decades at the helm of the nation’s third-largest city.

Continued from B1 As a part of that agreement, the city needs to make sure all its buildings, sidewalks and curb ramps are ADA compliant by 2014.

While the only work left to do is on curb ramps, there’s a lot of it. Of the 7,140 ramps built in the city after 1992 — the only ones required to be fixed — only 1,624 are compliant. And with only a couple of hundred thousand dollars budgeted each year for accessibility improvement, Duncan has said it could take decades to complete this work.

This has been a concern of some accessibility advocates. They say they’ve felt disregarded by the city and its seemingly lackadaisical approach to the ADA in the past.

While Duncan has helped bridge that divide over the past 27 months — much of it thanks to her strong push to

The program includes a weeklong “leadership symposium� on COCC’s Bend campus this summer. Students will stay in campus housing, eat at the dining hall and spend the week getting a feel for college life. Additionally, students will learn about college issues, including how to pay for a degree.

Roth said recruiting the students to COCC is not the program’s goal. “It’s kind of two things: one, increasing high school graduation rates ‌ then promoting college enrollment,â€?

Roth said.

I’m sorry to lose that connection that we have worked to develop at the city.�

Fulkerson sits on the Central Oregon Coalition for Access steering committee, and has a keen interest in whom the city hires. She said it’s disappointing to once again have to build a relationship with a new accessibility manager. “It’s a job that has always been in flux, which is a concern for advocates,� Fulkerson said. “We just don’t know what the next curveball will be.� — Reporter: 541-633-2160, ngrube@bendbulletin.com

La Pine High School. The program will be divided into three, two-week sessions, which are meant to introduce students from La Pine schools and Three Rivers School to high school and college.

During the program, staff from COCC and Oregon State University-Cascades will also speak about college issues.

La Pine High Principal Jay Mathisen said students will take math and reading classes, but he hopes they will also get a broad feel for the high school experience.

To that end, coaches and club leaders will visit the summer program. On Fridays, the program will introduce career options to the students.

Mathisen said the program should help students get off to a strong start in high school. “What we’re aiming to do is impact kids who may otherwise struggle when they start with those core areas, give them a little boost in summer to introduce them to high school-level work,� he said. — Reporter: 541-633-2161, pcliff@bendbulletin.com

Home Health and Hospice Care is comprised of many specialists whose common goal is to help the patient achieve the greatest possible level of health and comfort in the home.

With this goal come the added benefits of costs lower than hospital care, the opportunity to be at home in a familiar environment with friends and family, greater privacy, and the convenience of having the service come to the patient rather than the patient to the service.

In central and eastern Oregon, your Home Health and Hospice care team includes therapists who help with occupational, respiratory, speech and physical therapy, social workers who help with financial resources and counseling, nutritionists, physicians, nurses, home care aides, home infusion pharmacists, and home medical equipment suppliers.

Cash smuggler ordered to prison Jan. 23 The Associated Press MEDFORD — The leader of the U.S. branch of a defunct Islamic charity will have nearly two months of additional freedom before his nearly three-year prison term begins.

Pete Seda was convicted last year of helping smuggle $150,000 to Saudi Arabia. He

was sentenced in September, and a federal judge wrapped up his case this Seda week.

The Mail Tribune newspaper in Medford reported that Seda was ordered to report to federal prison in Sheridan by

Jan. 23. Court records show he’ll also be required to forfeit nearly $20,000 in bail money to help cover the costs of his publicly funded defense.

The delay before Seda’s prison term begins will give his lawyers more time to challenge his conviction and file a request that he be kept out of jail during his appeals.

Veterans

ically homeless,” defined as those who have been homeless for the last 365 days or experienced four distinct episodes of homelessness over the past three years. Fifty housing vouchers are available for the Bend area.

While Itnyre doesn’t fit the definition of chronically homeless used by the Portland VA office, Hemingway contends that office is interpreting the policy too narrowly. He said though the law might favor giving a voucher to a chronically homeless veteran over someone in Itnyre’s situation, the VA currently has more vouchers than applicants.

“It’s a policy matter they’re supposed to be able to waive based on facts and circumstances, but they’re applying it — in our argument — as though it’s a hard and fast rule embedded in statute somewhere,” he said.

For the past few weeks, Itnyre has been separated from her sons. The boys, ages 12 and 15, have been living at a friend’s home while she’s bounced from place to place.

“My youngest called the other day to ask if he could come home,” she said. “I just about cried. Buddy, we don’t have a home.”

Itnyre and her sons could qualify for family housing at the Bethlehem Inn, but moving in would require her to give up the family’s cat to abide with the shelter’s no-pets policy. Her son got the cat as a therapy animal, she said, and giving it away is a difficult decision to contemplate. She said VA caseworkers have suggested she move to Portland, where additional resources are

available for female veterans, but doing so comes with no guarantees of assistance and seems nearly impossible given her current circumstances.

“I feel like they’re kind of trying to force me out — ‘Let’s make you somebody else’s problem so we don’t have to deal with you,’ ” she said.

Continued from B1 Anderson said COVO has been an important partner for the VA, and he would like to continue working with the organization. He is attempting to arrange a meeting with COVO later this week to work out any disagreements, but so far, Hemingway has rejected the offer.

“COVO does a lot down there,” Anderson said. “They’re great folks. They provide a lot of services for veterans.”

Hemingway said COVO is more deeply immersed in the community than the VA’s caseworkers are, and that they’ll both be less effective if they’re not permitted to communicate at the local level. Running all communication through upper management is a waste of everybody’s time, he said.

“We know where the camps are and who is living in the motels at various times,” Hemingway said. “They come by our office and pick up clothing and camping gear, so we’re in constant contact with the veterans who are supposed to qualify for these services.... They want us to just provide the names to them and they take them over and we hear nothing more.”

National director to visit The nationwide director of the voucher program that Itnyre is attempting to qualify for is coming to Bend next month to try to sort out the differences between COVO and the Portland VA office.

Though Anderson said he couldn’t speak about Itnyre’s case or any other individual veteran, he said the vouchers are specifically for the “chron-

Problems upon problems Itnyre’s situation grew more complicated still Saturday.

Her mother, who had been working as a live-in caregiver for a woman in Bend, lost her job. She’ll be moving in temporarily with a friend, but could herself be homeless in a few weeks.

Combining Itnyre’s child support payments and her mother’s Social Security check brings the family slightly closer to being able to rent a place without assistance, but Itnyre said it’s still more than they can realistically afford.

Hemingway said the VA bureaucracy has done a poor job of getting vouchers to deserving veterans — the program was nearly rolled back a few years ago, he said, when Congress discovered many vouchers had not been distributed — and needs to learn how to move faster to help people like Itnyre.

“Getting her a voucher and a permanent, stable place to live is critical,” he said. “We’re not using her as a poster child; we’re advocating for her and every veteran individually, but it’s illustrative of some of the broader, systemic issues we’ve had to confront, and we shouldn’t have to deal with that.”

ADOPTING

KENNY • When the Gorman family set out to bring their soon-to-be-adopted child home from Haiti, they did not foresee the challenges they would encounter

Memorial has list of bricks The Bend Heroes Memorial now has a searchable list of the engraved bricks set out in the monument.

Bend Park & Recreation District’s website lists the brick inscriptions with their rows and sections so individual stones can be located. Two new rows of bricks have been added to the memorial since its completion. The lists will be updated to reflect the new engravings as they are added.

dopting from a Third World country

can be an exercise in patience in the best of situations. But throw in an unexpected, undiagnosed, potentially serious medical condition coupled with a total lack of control over the process, and the experience can seem excruciating.

Be a Santa to a senior Numerous regional businesses and agencies are working together to provide gifts and companionship to seniors who might not otherwise receive either this holiday season.

The “Be a Santa to a Senior” program has delivered 1.5 million gifts to needy seniors over the past seven years.

Here’s how it works: Through Dec. 16 Christmas trees will be in locations throughout the region with ornaments that have the first names only of seniors and their gift requests.

Shoppers can pick up an ornament, buy items on the list and return them unwrapped to the store with the ornament attached.

Here is a list of places you can find a tree: • Athletic Club of Bend, 61615 Athletic Club Drive, Bend • Bend Senior Center, 1600 S.E. Reed Market Road, Bend • Christmas at Collage, 339 S.W. Sixth St., Suite B, Redmond • Erickson’s Thriftway, 561 S.W. Fourth St., Madras • Fred Meyer, 61535 S. U.S. Highway 97, Bend.

• Home Instead Senior Care, 497 S.W. Century Drive, Bend • La Pine Senior Center, 16450 Victory Way, La Pine • Pioneer Memorial Hospital, 1201 N.E. Elm St., Prineville • Ray’s Food Place, 635 N.

A recent photo of Kenny Morose, the 2-year-old Haitian that Steve and Susan Gorman are trying to adopt. They wrote in an email accompanying this photo: “One of our friends who recently was in Haiti just sent this to us. It gives us great hope! He’s a doll worth waiting for!”

From left to right, Julia, Steve and Susan Gorman, with Kenny Morose, 2, center, at the orphanage in Croix-desBouquets, near Port-auPrince, Haiti.

They traveled to Haiti last July to meet Kenny, and soon discovered that he had an abnormally high white blood cell count; that increased their urgency in wanting to bring him home. They still have not been able to get Kenny home.

Bend residents Steve and Susan Gorman, both 45, had four children — Tim, 15, Julia, 13, and twins Nic and Annalee, 9 — when they decided they wanted to adopt another.

That was around the time of the January 2010 earthquake that ravaged Haiti, which influenced their decision to adopt from that country.

When they started the adoption process in May 2010, they were told it could take a couple of years.

So, when they first visited Haiti in July, to work on the immigration paperwork and meet Kenny Morose, the 2year-old boy they were set to adopt, they had no intention of bringing him home. But the Gormans immediately noticed that Kenny had a limp, didn’t run around like the other kids and swung one leg when he walked. They started to worry.

They took him to a hospital in Port-au-Prince. A Canadian medical team happened to be visiting and did a full workup — X-rays, blood tests, etc. — which showed that Kenny’s white blood cell count was about twice as high as it should have been, said Dr. Susan Gorman, a local gynecologist.

The thought was that Kenny might have a septic hip, which could require surgery, she said. Septic hip, according to the National Institutes of Health, is a bacterial infection, which, without prompt treatment, can leave permanent joint damage.

Then, the Gormans were told by the Canadian doctors that they also couldn’t rule out leukemia. (Since then, signs have pointed more to septic hip, the Gormans said.)

“Now what do we do?” they thought. “He’s not legally ours.”

Children play in an ice labyrinth at Patriarch’s Ponds in Moscow. Though snow covers much of the city in winter, Moscow is illuminated and alive with crowded sidewalks, packed theaters and bustling parks full of ice skaters.

Even in grip of winter, Moscow is having fun

By Rick Lyman New York Times News Service

They’re like mountain goats, these women. Skittering up, over and around the ice sheets and the snow slicks on every sidewalk in central Moscow, their spike-heeled boots somehow finding purchase on the sharp, crusty surface. Some of them are texting while they do it.

My wife and I are making our way slowly up Tverskaya, Moscow’s grand boulevard and main shopping drag. The traffic-choked street is so wide it cannot be crossed above ground, so every 100 yards or so subterranean passages, chockablock with stalls selling everything from lingonberry cakes to lingerie, bring you from one side of the boulevard to the other. Everywhere, it seems, we are moving too slowly. Young people in leather coats and wool caps zip around us, as do the hundreds of improbably elegant women in their gravity-defying boots scurrying without pause over jagged ice floes that force us to stop, consider and plot our ascent.

Moscow, in the grip of the cold, is not everyone’s idea of a perfect vacation. It is a difficult city in general — especially for pedestrians, those with no Russian and anyone put off by pushy crowds, confusing signage and surly ticket sellers. Winter just makes it worse. People are bundled up in furry cocoons. The sidewalks are largely uncleared. Still, for my wife and me, visiting our daughter, who was there for a semester abroad, it takes only a few hours to realize that present-day Moscow is also alive and energized, a city in the giddy grip of really enjoying itself.

It would be a stretch to say that Muscovites embrace the winter, but they come as close as human beings are able to outside a ski resort. Bitterly cold outside? No matter.

Snow piles atop snow piles? Life marches on. Restaurants are full. Sidewalks are crowded. Theaters and opera houses are packed. Parks are crisscrossed by people on ice skates along with those who are simply taking a leisurely stroll as though at the height of spring.

And there is one real plus to coming in the lowest of the low season. The main tourist sites — the museums, the cathedrals, the tourist markets — are uncrowded and relaxed. No long queues for tickets, even at the Hermitage in St. Petersburg. No waiting in line, behind a thick crowd, for a quick glimpse of Catherine the Great’s coronation dress.

Short days We arrived in Moscow well after dark, which was not saying much as there were only about six hours of true daylight each day we were there, the sky not brightening until around 9 a.m. and dipping into twilight by 3:30 p.m. We stayed at the Hotel National; the towers of the Kremlin glowed from beyond the Alexander Gardens, across the street.

See Moscow / C4

The saga begins They figured Kenny couldn’t get adequate medical care in Haiti. But to bring him home immediately they would need what’s called a humanitarian visa, which required a doctor’s statement that getting Kenny out of the country was a medical emergency.

SUNDAY, NOVEMBER 27, 2011 • THE BULLETIN

A & A

Daughter’s rejection adds to terminally ill man’s pain Dear Abby: I am married to the most wonderful husband and father a woman could ask for. He has been diagnosed with a terminal illness and may not have long to live.

Ever since I met “John,� he has searched for his daughter who was given up for adoption years ago. We recently found her. It took him some time to find the courage to send her a message, and when he did she rejected him. “Patty� met her birth mother a few years ago and decided to have contact only with her.

This has caused John so much pain that I sometimes cry myself to sleep at night. Our daughters were raised knowing they have an older sister.

They also know we found Patty and she doesn’t want to get to know us. I don’t know how to explain what’s happening without them thinking they’re not good enough.

My husband was raised in foster homes. He had no family, so family is the most important thing in the world to us, and he could die at any moment. I don’t know what I can do to ease the sadness or make his daughter see that she may not have another chance.

Abby, please help. — Blindsided in Bend

Dear Blindsided: I’ll try.

Write Patty a letter and tell her that her father loves her and searched for her for many years before he was able to locate her. Tell her that he is now terminally ill and would like to see her before he dies — and that it could be healing for both of them. Of course, it is her right to refuse.

As to what you should tell your daughters, explain that Patty’s reason for not wanting to meet them may be that her birth mother has poisoned her against the paternal branch of the family, and not to take it personally. It may very well be the truth.

Dear Abby: My identical twin sister “Gwen� and I were close our whole lives. She married

and had two children, while I stayed single. Because our lives took different directions, we have not been as close over the past couple of years because Gwen was busy raising her family.

She has recently gone through a divorce and is the primary caregiver of her children.

She doesn’t have a job. I feel like I’m walking on eggshells around her. She has threatened several times to kill herself, and she starts horrible arguments with our parents and me.

I have tried to help out and watch her kids when I could, but I have a full schedule and need to make time for my other relationships. After being threatened a couple of times, I finally stopped talking to her because I was tired of turning the other cheek to her outrageous, violent behavior.

I love my twin and miss our close relationship. I can understand the stress of being an unemployed, single mother of two, but I can’t continue putting up with the weekly arguments. Is there any hope we can be close again? Gwen was in counseling for a while.

What can I do to help resolve things without turning into a doormat again? — Mirror Image in South Carolina

Dear Mirror Image: Your sister’s violent outbursts and threats of suicide are indications that she is suffering from some significant emotional problems. Until and unless she gets more professional help, nothing you can do will “resolve things.� The best thing you and your family can do is encourage her to get more counseling and remain close enough to her to be sure her children are safe. — Write Dear Abby at www.DearAbby.com or P.O. Box 69440, Los Angeles, CA 90069.

Good feelings flow between you and a roommate or family member.

Tonight: Just for you.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) HHHH Throw a last-minute “leftovers party.� Many people still could be shuffling around who are not normally available. You, a sign who cares so much for people, delights in seeing everyone together on your turf. Tonight: Zero in on what you desire.

This year, focus on making your life more secure. You will see your efforts come back in multiples. A parent or older friend tends to be difficult. Try to understand what is really ailing him or her. Let go of a need to be so self-disciplined. If you are single, know that this status is your choice. If you are attached, you don’t always have to wear the pants.

THE BULLETIN • SUNDAY, NOVEMBER 27, 2011

Moscow Continued from C1 Luxurious and surprisingly small, the National is perhaps the city’s most historic top hotel. John Reed stayed there while covering the Bolshevik Revolution, and Lenin himself took up residence in Room 107 until grander digs were available in the Kremlin.

A quick drop of bags and a hurried consultation with the hotel’s chipper and efficient concierge staff for recommendations of a Georgian restaurant, and we were back in our winter coats and headed through the crowded subterranean passage to the Kremlin side of the boulevard.

The central part of the vast, sprawling city is defined by semicircular ring roads that arch around the Kremlin — the city’s heart — like crescent moons. The road just outside the National curves around the Kremlin and the old, adjoining Kitaygorod district. About a half mile up Tverskaya, at Pushkin Square, you hit the Boulevard Ring, and another half mile or more beyond, at the Tchaikovsky Concert Hall, the Garden Ring. Within those bands lie most of the city’s tourist destinations, top restaurants, major hotels and most popular theaters. It’s a vast area, though. The map says it’s 2,500 yards from the Kremlin to the Garden Ring along Tverskaya, although with winter’s chill and the clotted subterranean pedestrian tunnels, it feels a lot longer.

You enter Red Square through the Resurrection Gate, a pair of archways torn down during Stalin’s time but rebuilt in 1996. The gate perfectly frames the vast expanse, with the colorful onion domes of St. Basil’s Cathedral in the near distance.

A small protest was under way — we tried to read the signs and listen to the bullhorn speeches, but couldn’t figure out what it was about — and some of the protesters were handing out leaflets while others tried to sell incense sticks that could be used in any of the nearby churches.

A city aglow This heart of Moscow, in crisp winter air that seems to make the spotlights on the Kremlin towers shine with a hard clarity, is splendidly beautiful at night. While there are still drab boulevards and forbidding side streets, the main squares and thoroughfares are aglow with illumi-

If you go GETTING AROUND The key thing about visiting Moscow is to acquaint yourself early with the city’s amazing metro system. It can be crowded and brusque, but some of the stations are spectacularly beautiful, and it can take you to within walking distance of almost every major attraction.

Tickets are 28 rubles (about 90 cents at 30 rubles to the dollar) for a single ride or 265 rubles ($9) for a 10-ride ticket.

In St. Petersburg, most main sites are within easy walking distance, although it’s a long walk if you intend to venture across the Neva River to pay your respects at the grave of Peter the Great.

WHERE TO STAY As far as location goes, it’s hard to beat the historic Hotel National at the foot of

nated onion domes, commercial billboards and bright red stars still burning above the Kremlin’s towers.

But most astonishing was the sprawling ice-skating rink decorated with kiddie cartoons and balloon shapes that takes up a giant chunk of the square, smack between GUM’s central door and Lenin’s mausoleum. It was well into the evening on a very cold night, but there were still more than a hundred people making their way around the rink, mostly families with squealing children, and middle-aged couples keeping a tight grip on each other.

We passed by the ice rink several times during our week in Moscow. There was never a line and it was rarely crowded, but there were always at least a few families with children taking tentative laps in the shadow of the Kremlin walls.

We were among the few people walking through the Tverskaya Street (7-495-2587000; national.ru), Moscow’s main thoroughfare. That may be why Lenin chose to stay there until his quarters were ready inside the Kremlin, just across the street. If Stalin is your preference, you could also check out the Radisson Royal Hotel, on the Moscow River at Kutuzovsky Prospekt (7-495-221-5555; radisson. ru/royalhotel-moscow). It is inside one of the seven gothic skyscrapers Stalin built around the city. In St. Petersburg, the Renaissance Baltic Hotel (7812-380-4000; marriott.com/ hotels/fact-sheet/travel/ledbrrenaissance-st-petersburgbaltic-hotel) is on a side street near St. Isaac’s Cathedral and the Winter Palace, but just far enough off bustling Nevsky Prospekt to be calm and restful.

WHERE TO EAT Moscow now offers an array

frozen gardens on the Kremlin’s north side, past the somber Tomb of the Unknown Soldier, with its guards standing at attention inside glass booths safe from the elements, and up to the Old Arbat district. The Georgian restaurant, Genatsvale VIP, was a kind of theme-park affair dressed up to look like an old mill, with spinning wheels, log walls and a roaming accordion player.

Communication was difficult. The waitress, dressed in a sexy version of Georgian folk costume, offered little help. So we opted for the famous Georgian dishes we’d read about, a delicious chicken satsivi (cold chunks of white meat in a walnut sauce), some khachapuri (cheese-stuffed bread) and an assortment of grilled, skewered meats. It was very good.

But other tables seemed to be having much grander, happier feasts — huge platters of meats and salads and toast of dining choices, from trendy bistros to fast-food chains.

Cafe Pushkin (7-495-7390033; cafe-pushkin.ru/en) was instantly the city’s finest restaurant when it opened in 1999 in a Baroque mansion on the Boulevard Ring. While other restaurants may have eclipsed it in culinary terms, it is still a spectacularly beautiful place to have a meal, especially during the holidays. For a more countrified atmosphere, and spicier Georgian cuisine, there is Genatsvale VIP (7495-988-2656; en.restoran. ru/msk/detailed/restaurants/ genatsvale), just off the Arbat pedestrian mall. St. Petersburg has a wide variety of dining choices. We had an excellent Indian meal at Tandoor, across from the Admiralty Building (7-812-312-3886; en.restoran. ru/spb/detailed/restaurants/ tandoor).

after toast, sometimes with the kitchen staff scurrying out to serenade everyone.

This was also our first encounter with what we discovered to be a distinct Moscow character: the insistent coat check person. At many modest restaurants, and certainly at the top ones, customers are given no choice but to check their coats (it’s free, and tips are not expected). A dining room free of winter gear seems to be a sign of class, and the whole process becomes a little ceremony, a punctuation point between the cold world outside and the warmth within. It also provides a frame for that most frequent Russian winter activity: wrapping the scarf, putting the coat on, positioning the hat just so, checking to make sure your gloves are in the pocket.

St. Basil’s and beyond The next morning began with another walk across Red Square — and another protest beside the Resurrection Gate — before we dove into St. Basil’s. The interior is a labyrinth of chapels, one for each of its domes and spires.

We were pretty much left on our own to pick our way

through the maze. Outside of one school group, the place was empty.

It’s a brisk quarter-mile walk from there to the ticket booth at the foot of the Trinity Tower, the Kremlin’s main entrance for tourists. Those who, like us, intend to start with a visit to the Armory Chamber — the museum of the czars’ possessions, from Fabergé eggs to ornate carriages — were directed to yet another gate a few hundred more frigid yards away.

Walking across the cold,

deserted streets of the Kremlin was a lonely exercise, watched only by a handful of grim-faced guards in long wool coats, icy plumes of breath shooting from between compressed lips. In the fortress’s historic, central square, a few seconds of orientation were needed to distinguish the Cathedral of the Archangel from the Cathedral of the Assumption from the Cathedral of the Annunciation. But once we did, we were able to make our way through them in chronological order, a kind of mini-course in the development of Russian ecclesiastical architecture. Again, except for the middle-aged ladies perched on chairs to keep a steely eye on things, each place was ours.

In the early evening, we made our trek over to the Red October Chocolate Factory, a complex of art galleries and bars on an island in the river.

The hope was to get a glance at Moscow’s trendy side, but we apparently arrived too early, and made do with a couple of ridiculously expensive cocktails (no beer or wine, just cocktails on the menu) at a place near the huge, kitschy statue of Peter the Great atop a tall-masted ship.

PACIFIC NORTHWEST

Changes on the slopes should give skiers a lift

By Mark Yuasa The Seattle Times

James Hill / New York Times News Service

A newly married couple walk down a flight of stairs toward the Moscow River from the Cathedral of Christ the Saviour.

From previous page For dinner, we wandered back up Tverskaya to Kamergersky and found that sushi place where young people were slamming beer and sake surrounded by a dozen flat-screen monitors playing silent films of sea birds floating over beaches and estuaries, an homage to the Moscow Art Theater, just across the way, where Chekhov’s “Seagull” had its first big success in 1898.

Getting steamed By the third day, my feet raw from the long trudges across the snowy city, I was ready for a steam. My wife passed. The sexes are separated at Sanduny baths, and she didn’t want to go in alone. I had no such qualms, although I was the only one in my section of the baths who was not part of a group. After three attempts to find the right door into the complex, I was shown to my own vinyl sofa and given hangers for my clothes, a towel and some slippers (at an extra charge). A bottle of mineral water set me back the equivalent of $4.

Inside, men took turns pummeling one another with thick bundles of leafy birch branches soaked in water. I tried whipping myself with the things a few times — it’s supposed to make your skin feel great — but couldn’t quite get the angle right. Every now and then, one of the Russian men walked over to a giant steel door in the wall, opened it to reveal a glowing red inferno

SEATTLE — Once the snow arrives, Pacific Northwest skiers and snowboarders can look forward to a fun-filled winter.

While it may not rival last year’s huge face-lifts, including the Crystal Mountain gondola, the reopening of Snoqualmie’s Summit East or expansion of Paradise Basin at White Pass, there are still plenty of things to get excited about this season.

Oregon and slung in a giant ladle of water. By the time I left, the floor was strewn with leaves and debris, like a driveway after a storm.

Tourist essentials Once upon a time, the train trip to St. Petersburg was, for most tourists, an overnight one. Those trains still exist and have their nostalgic adherents.

But since 2009, with the inauguration of the high-speed Sapsan train, the trip can be made in four hours, making Peter the Great’s former capital an easy hit for travelers willing to fork over the $200 for a round trip. In a day and a half we were able to devote five hours to the Hermitage, have a terrific Indian meal at Tandoor and a beer at a faux British pub near one of the ice-choked canals, and spend a couple of hours meandering around the massive Gostiny Dvor department store on Nevsky Prospekt, all decked out for the holidays — without rushing or breaking a sweat.

Back in Moscow, desperate to buy some gifts before flying back to New York, we spent a bitterly cold Saturday picking our way through the sprawling Izmailovo flea market on the edge of that park. The crowds were thick, despite the weather. It’s a standard stop on the tourist circuit, the place to go for antiques, memorabilia from the Soviet era, fur hats and hundreds upon hundreds of painted wooden nesting dolls.

Despite the temperatures,

from mid-December to midJanuary it’s bustling with tobogganing, troika rides, folk arts, musical events, souvenir stalls, ice skating and dozens of images of Ded Moroz, or Grandfather Frost, the Russian version of Santa Claus, and his sidekick, the svelte Snegurochka, the snow maiden.

The idea is to get something authentically Russian, a bit of folk art perhaps, or a shard from history; certain stalls featured the flotsam from Russia’s past — old silver samovars, platters commemorating the latest Soviet congress, patriotic posters glorifying angry workers and happy cosmonauts.

My wife wanted to find some embroidered linens for her mother’s dining room table, and we went from booth to booth, inspecting the various designs as the bitter wind whipped around us and people made their way precariously up the market’s icy steps.

Finally, she found what she wanted — a long, gorgeous red-and-cream tablecloth with an embroidered winter scene. The elderly woman in a flowery babushka who was working at the stall, and who periodically reached beneath the counter to warm her hands on an electric heater, grandly spread out the tablecloth and pointed to its many wonderful features.

To close the deal, she flipped over the tablecloth with a flourish and pointed to a small tag at the bottom corner. “Williams-Sonoma,” it said.

Providing access from the main base area to a ridge near the Heather Canyon lift’s upper terminal, Mt. Hood Meadows Ski Resort’s new Stadium Express Quad greatly improves access to the northern terrain and lifts.

It also will boost out-ofbase lift capacity, shorten lift-line queues in the base area and improve lift service for night operations.

More than $3.5 million was invested at the Mt. Bachelor Resort toward upgrades in all the lodges and work on existing highspeed lifts such as Skyliner, Northwest and Summit Express.

The new Umbrella Bar for Sunrise Lodge will seat up to 60 people in a heated, circular structure with removable glass walls and a retractable umbrella ceiling for sunny days.

Timberline Lodge & Ski Area invested more than $1.5 million in improvements to the Wy’east Day Lodge, with construction of a new mezzanine with seating for 140 people.

210-foot, moving carpet lift for “first-timers.”

“The newly enclosed lift will replace the existing magic carpet, and the original magic carpet is now where the old rope tow used to be off the plaza,” said Holly Lippert, public relations manager at The Summit.

At Alpental there’s a newly constructed 384-square-foot ski-patrol station near the top of the Armstrong Express Quad.

This facility lets guests interact with the patrol and learn more about backcountry safety.

Summit Central’s Silver Fir terrain will benefit from the regrading of Hog Wild Trail and construction of an enhanced connector trail, which links the Silver Fir and Golden Nugget trails.

“We did a lot of regrooming and regrading at Silver Fir for a more consistent pitch and widening of the connector trails,” Lippert said. “This will make it more intermediate friendly.”

The Mount Baker Ski Area has invested $3.5 million in the construction of a midmountain warming hut, which is expected to be open by mid-December.

Steeped in the traditions of 1920s-’30s Cascadian architecture, the new Raven’s Hut will provide indoor seating for 300.

Less than a year after opening an $8 million gondola, Crystal Mountain Resort continues to invest and expand with two retail shops, a new rental fleet, snow-making and more new gondola cabins.

Five new gondola cabins are set to arrive in early spring at a cost of $200,000, bringing the count up to 27 cabins. The gon-

dola cable can carry 36 cabins.

Idaho The Bogus Basin Mountain Recreation Area replaced its venerable Superior Chairlift with a $5 million high-speed Superior Express Quad that will move twice as many people twice as fast.

The Lookout Pass Ski Area completed a lodge addition, adding seating for 80 more guests, and added a large sun deck.

Schweitzer Mountain Resort constructed a 700-foot zip line, which will operate during the summer and winter seasons, weather permitting.

At Silver Mountain Resort they’ve created the Gold Pan Alley — a new children’s adventure trail — and expanded the gladed terrain in the basin served by Chair 3.

British Columbia Fernie Alpine Resort installed the Polar Peak Lift, giving the area 3,550 vertical feet of terrain. It adds an above-tree-line bowl-skiing experience with over 22 new runs and the experience of skiing off the summit of one of the highest peaks in the Lizard Range, Polar Peak.

At Whitewater Ski Resort the new Glory Ridge area boasts 18 marked gladed, treed and groomed runs of primarily intermediate and advanced/ expert terrain, increasing the total vertical drop to 2,044 feet.

The Associated Press LEWISTON, Maine — A Maine couple have proved that true love knows no age limits.

Eighty-eight-year-old Paul Walker married his longtime sweetheart, 87year-old Ann Thayer, in a rehabilitation center in front of a small group of family and friends on Tuesday.

Seated during the ceremony, the two leaned toward each other to kiss not just once but three times after being pronounced husband and wife at the Marshwood Center, where Walker is undergoing rehabilitation. “I don’t think I’ve seen a bride and groom kiss three times,� rehab center administrator Sheri Nadell told the Sun Journal newspaper after the ceremony.

Walker, of Lewiston, and Thayer, of Auburn, had been dating for 17 years after meeting at an Auburn church. Both have been married before. “I think it’s sweet,� said Yvonne Wilkinson, Walk-

er’s daughter-in-law. “I just don’t know why they waited so long.�

Afterward, Thayer said the two have been talking about the possibility of a honeymoon in Bermuda once Walker feels better.

Thayer said the idea of a wedding was broached with some gentle teasing at Central Maine Medical Center last week. “All those nurses said, ‘You’ve been together how long? Why didn’t you ever get married?’ Paul looked at me, ‘You want to do it?’ I said, ‘OK, well, when?’ ‘Right now,’ � she said. “We’ve had some beautiful years together.�

Illinois school drops Aramark for affordable organic meal program Chicago Tribune

CHICAGO — For lunch, Josh Rivera chose a plate of saffron rice, Jerusalem salad and a Greek-marinated kebab of freerange chicken raised without antibiotics.

“Last year, I used to get a burger and pizza, but they were really greasy,” the high school sophomore said. “This is a lot tastier than before.”

It’s astonishing enough that high schoolers would have something nice to say about their cafeteria, in this case the one at Niles North High School.

But these meals containing premium ingredients are provided free to low-income students or sold for $2.25 at most.

A fascinating experiment has been playing out in recent months in Niles Township High School District 219, where a student petition for better lunch, changing demographics and a willing school board led to a massive overhaul of the lunch program this year by a Chicago company called OrganicLife.

In August, the company took over operations from Aramark food services and began serving daily meals of sustainable, local and organic food to 4,700

students at Niles North and Niles West high schools in Skokie, Ill. It is presenting these meals under the supervision of the National School Lunch Program, which provides federal funding in exchange for meeting certain requirements.

OrganicLife co-founder Justin Rolls would not provide detailed financial information but says the company is making things work by cooking economically from scratch, buying high-quality items in bulk, boosting sales through tastier food and factoring in slimmer profits as part of the business plan. In its spring bid to the district, OrganicLife offered to deliver more healthful lunches for $1.24 per meal.

Since arriving, Rolls said, the company has significantly boosted lunch sales among the district’s low-income population to 85 percent, bringing in dependable reimbursements of $2.77 per meal from the federal government.

Laid out in seven stations, the cafeterias must offer seven to 10 complete lunches each day that can be served free or for 40 cents to about 1,200 low-income students under the National School Lunch Program. Others can buy the meal for $2.25 or pay extra for “a la carte” items or more elaborate lunches.

To chef Ann Cooper — who overhauled school lunch systems in Berkeley, Calif., and Boulder, Colo. — that kind of multi-tiered lunchroom menu has drawbacks. With a few exceptions, Cooper said, she presents the same complete meals to all kids regardless of income.

“I don’t want to criticize it,” she said, “but I worry that when you have some kids who can afford your more expensive lunches and you have other kids who can’t, you are creating a stigma around the free lunches and increasing the chasm between the haves and have-nots.”

Kenny Continued from C1 The Canadian doctors signed such a letter and the Gormans took it to the U.S. Embassy assuming they’d get the visa and bring Kenny home for medical care.

“We were so naïve,” Susan said.

To get the medical emergency visa, they would also need a guarantee from an American hospital that it would treat his illness for free.

Steve, a stay-at-home dad, and their daughter Julia, who had accompanied them on the trip, stayed in Haiti with hopes of moving forward the passport paperwork. Susan came home with a mission to track down a hospital that would provide Kenny’s medical care.

After repeated rejections she was growing dejected until a doctor from the children’s arm of the Los Angeles Orthopedic Hospital said he would accept Kenny.

Lacking finality in the paperwork required to bring Kenny home, Steve and Julia returned without him.

About two weeks later, in early August, Steve went back to Haiti alone, having been told the presidential dispensation for all adopted children had been signed. Steve understood that to mean that Kenny’s passport was ready. Steve packed for two days in Haiti and left full of optimism. Susan went to the L.A. hospital, waiting for Kenny to arrive “any minute.”

As soon as Steve reached Haiti, he realized what he was facing. Their Haitian attorney couldn’t be found. Nothing had been signed. For three weeks, Steve said he bounced between government agencies and court systems and the adoption officials. He even started down a different track to get Kenny out of the country: He tracked down the birth mother to get her signature — which was a thumbprint since she was illiterate — on a paper that would authorize Steve to take Kenny out of the country as a guardian while the adoption process continued. He said he kept hearing from various authorities that the paperwork would be ready in two days. Three weeks of hair-pulling runarounds later, Steve came home in early Sep-

Periodic updates from the family tend to start the same: “Still patiently waiting.”

Oct. 12, email from Susan: “We just heard today that Kenny’s paperwork is out of the Ministry of Justice and at immigration for his passport to be processed. It may be ready next week! We were told that the ministry has not been processing any paperwork for the last month because they were waiting for a new prime minister to be appointed. A new prime minister was finally approved last week. We are in much better spirits, knowing that something is moving along!”

Oct. 14, an email from the adoption agency to the Gormans explained a fluctuating political situation in Haiti

that might be to blame for the delays in the paperwork processing. In summary: After the election of the president earlier this year, the minister of justice resigned, leaving the prime minister filling in for that job in addition to his normal job.

The letter said it was possible that his double workload or the prime minister’s anticipated job changes could explain why he was not signing adoption paperwork.

Oct. 27, email from Susan: “We heard last Friday that the passport should be ready this week. Of course, the week is over. This last week, one of the moms from our group whom we travelled to Haiti with last July went with a group of people to do some volunteer work at the orphanage and check on the kids. She is a nurse practitioner. She did physicals on the kids and gave them some de-worming medicine. She called me this week and … said (Kenny) looked healthy and smiley. He has a good appetite. He is walking, but with a limp. He does not seem to be in pain. We were thankful that someone reliable has laid eyes on him and it sounds like he is doing okay. We are inching our way there.”

Nov. 10, email from Susan: “Yesterday the attorney in Haiti checked and said (Kenny’s passport) is still being “processed” in immigration.”

Nov. 11, in a phone conversation, Steve said the Haitian woman who was in charge of Haitian adoptions had been fired, which he considered good news, since she had not been helpful in any way.

But really, it’s just another piece of news.

“It’s day to day. It gets frus-

tember empty-handed, stressed and frustrated.

Committed The Gormans had briefly discussed whether they could manage this. But, “We bonded with him. We couldn’t just say we don’t want him,” Susan said. “We just made an emotional commitment that he’s part of the family.”

Steve added: “He’s my son and I need to get him home.”

But more clearly than words, they said, maybe the pictures could answer the question of why they hadn’t given up. They pointed to a digital photo frame that sits on their kitchen counter, and watched a slide show.

One photo taken last July at the orphanage in Croix-desBouquets, near Port-au-Prince, shows Steve, Susan, and Julia holding Kenny, a roundheaded, brown-eyed, chubbycheeked toddler. In another, Julia carries Kenny on her hip like a seasoned older sister, one arm protectively around him.

trating. Then there’s little signs of hope. Before we didn’t understand the process so we were more emotional on a daily basis,” he said. “It hurts when we don’t hear anything for a while but overall … I think we’re making progress in how we’re handling it emotionally. We’ve been up and so very down. Now, not getting any bad news is good.”

Perspective What the Gormans are going through is not unique to international adoptions. Of course, not all adoptive parents know their child has a health problem.

“When the child is identified, (adoptive parents) have a sense that ‘This is my child’ in this orphanage, that can visit but they can not extricate,” said Rebecca Sexton, the executive director of Christian Family Adoptions in Portland, who has worked in both international and domestic adoptions but is not involved with the Gormans’ adoption.

“On an emotional level, it’s really hard to be hands-off when you know the longer your child is in an orphanage the more risk they have” of not having nutritional or medical needs met, of being abused or becoming developmentally delayed.

Sexton said it’s really hard for adoptive parents because they have no control over the

ever-changing political situations in Third World countries.

Generally speaking, “The people in-country are doing their best, but they’re dealing with limited resources and a shifting political climate,” she said.

On the spectrum of all international adoptions, Haiti sits pretty far on the unstable side.

The political infrastructure is tenuous and there are scant humanitarian resources.

“Here’s the reality,” she said.

“Not everyone can tolerate that.

The kind of person who can has a lot of flexibility. I don’t say that lightly. We believe God is in control but not everyone can tolerate that.”

She has known of many families who didn’t proceed after learning what the process would entail, and what the risks could be.

“They have to have the capacity to withstand that much unknown,” Sexton said.

“They need a lot of emotional strength, resilience, to withstand those variables.”

But there’s a payback when it finally comes together, she said, which is what keeps adoptions going. “I think there’s that realization that you can’t change the whole world but you can change the world for that child. That is the hope, and a lot of people’s motivation.”

TENNIS Federer reaches 100th ATP final LONDON — Every time Roger Federer steps onto the court, another milestone seems to Federer be within grasp.

He seized another one Saturday, reaching his 100th career final by beating David Ferrer 7-5, 6-3 in the semifinals of the ATP World Tour Finals. Federer could add a few more today. He’s in position to win his 70th title overall and a record sixth at the season-ending tournament for the world’s top eight players.

“It’s obviously a special occasion for me,” said Federer, who will play Jo-Wilfried Tsonga in the final.

Tsonga beat Tomas Berdych of the Czech Republic 6-3, 7-5 in the late match, putting the sixth-seeded Frenchman into the final of this event for the first time, in only his second appearance.

“Roger is the best player for the moment indoors,” Tsonga said. “It’s going to be really special here, for my first final here. It’s going to be an amazing atmosphere on court, and I like that. ... I know it’s the last match (of the year) so I will give it everything.”

The victory over Ferrer sent Federer past Andy Murray to No. 3 in the year-end rankings, trailing No. 1 Novak Djokovic and Rafael Nadal.

at Autzen Stadium, it did serve the purpose.

Now the Ducks can move past the 38-35 loss to USC a week earlier — which dashed their national title hopes — and prepare to host UCLA in the inaugural Pac-12 Conference Championship Game on Friday night.

A win in that game will put Oregon in the Rose Bowl.

In case you were still watching and wondering, Alabama defeated Auburn 42-14 on Saturday.

Oregon traveled into Beaver territory on each of its first four possessions. The result? Just seven UO points — and a glimmer of hope for underdog OSU. But the Beaver offense, which had played so well a week earlier against Washington, was not able to do its part.

No matter how inspired the defensive effort, a punchless offense is a disastrous recipe against Oregon’s road-grader attack. If anything, the Beavers proved that in its 49-21 loss to the Ducks.

NBA deal makes it a merry Christmas for fans • Players, owners reach a tentative agreement to end the lockout, with the league to start play on Christmas

By Howard Beck New York Times News Service

NEW YORK — Six weary figures rose from their chairs early Saturday, their expressions telegraphing the conclusion to the NBA’s five-month labor crisis: Basketball is back in business,

Inside • The Blazers are still looking for a GM, D3

with a new labor deal that heavily favors the owners, despite some lastminute concessions.

The league wanted an overhaul of its $4 billion-a-year enterprise, and it got it, with a nearly $300 million annual reduction in player salaries and a matrix of new restrictions on contracts and team payrolls. The changes mean a $3 billion gain for the owners over the life of the 10-year deal.

Before finally agreeing to those sacrifices, the players’ negotiators won a handful of concessions that will allow the richest teams to keep spending on

players, ensuring a more competitive free-agent market.

A truncated schedule of 66 games — 16 fewer than usual — will begin on Christmas Day with three nationally televised games. For that, officials on both sides were grateful as they announced a resolution at 3:40 a.m. EST on the 149th day of the lockout, after a final 15-hour bargaining session at law offices in Manhattan.

S B Skiing • German captures GS at Aspen: Germany’s Viktoria Rebensburg darted in between the shadows, daring to charge on a demanding course with little margin for error. That go-forbroke mentality helped Rebensburg make up nearly a second on the final run to hold off Austria’s Elisabeth Goergl to win a World Cup giant slalom on Saturday in Colorado. It was Rebensburg’s fourth World Cup win in her career — all in this discipline. Julia Mancuso finished third to become the first American to wind up on the podium at this venue since 2004. But another streak lives on: No U.S. skier has won in Aspen since Tamara McKinney nearly three decades ago.

Rebensburg blazed through the course in a combined time of 2 minutes, 11.25 seconds, edging Goergl, the leader after the first run, by 0.33 seconds. Lindsey Vonn, who was well back in 21st place after the first run, zoomed down the twisting and bumpy course to wind up 12th, 1.74 seconds behind Rebensburg.

• Cuche wins World Cup downhill: Didier Cuche won the downhill season-opener Saturday, giving Switzerland a 1-2 finish in a World Cup race at Lake Louise, Alberta. The 37-year-old skier was timed in 1 minute, 47.28, matching his downhill victory at Lake Louise from two years ago. Beat Fuez was second in 1:47.34 and Hannes Reichelt of Austria was third in 1:47.36.

American Bode Miller finished ninth. A super-G is scheduled for today; Bend’s Tommy Ford is scheduled to compete.

Golf • McIlroy, McDowell still lead World Cup: Northern Ireland’s Rory McIlroy and Graeme McDowell shot an 8-under 64 in better-ball play Saturday for a two-stroke lead in the World Cup in China. McIlroy and McDowell had a 21-under 195 total on Mission Hills’ Blackstone Course.

Americans Gary Woodland and Matt Kuchar (63) were tied for second with Germany’s Alex Cejka and Martin Kaymer (61) and South Africa’s Charl Schwartzel and Louis Oosthuizen (61). The 28 teams will play an alternateshot round today.

• Korean in front in Australia: South Korea’s K.T. Kim shot a bogey-free 5-under 67 to take a one-stroke lead over American Bubba Watson into the final round of the Australian PGA. Kim, who played for the losing International side at the Presidents Cup at Royal Melbourne last week, had a 13-under 203 total on the Hyatt Regency

resort course. Watson, a U.S. Presidents Cup player, shot a 67.

Australia’s Aaron Baddeley was 10 under after a 67.

• South African leads at home: South Africa’s Hennie Otto shot a 7-under 65 to take a three-stroke lead after the third round of the South African Open.

Otto had seven birdies and an eagle to reach 14 under on the Jack Nicklaus-designed Serengeti course. Sweden’s Magnus Carlsson (66) was tied for second with South Africans Retief Goosen (71), Thomas Aiken (68) and Garth Mulroy (70).

Motor sports • Vettel wins record 15th pole at Brazilian GP: Formula One champion Sebastian Vettel set the record for most poles in a season, capturing his 15th at the Brazilian Grand Prix on Saturday to break Nigel Mansell’s 19-year record. Vettel finished in 1 minute, 11.918 seconds at the 2.6-mile Interlagos track. The 24-year-old German drew even with Mansell after winning his 14th pole at the Abu Dhabi GP two weeks ago. Vettel’s Red Bull teammate, Mark Webber, was second with a lap of 1:12.099.

Jenson Button of McLaren was third in 1:12.283.

Football • Vikings RB Peterson out: Minnesota Vikings running back Adrian Peterson has been ruled out of today’s game because of a sprained left ankle. The Vikings announced Saturday that Peterson had been downgraded on the injury report from doubtful to out and would not travel to Atlanta to play the Falcons.

Basketball • Okla. St. wins fist game since death of coaches: Oklahoma State beat Coppin State 59-35 on Saturday in its first game since a plane crash killed coach Kurt Budke, assistant coach Miranda Serna and two others. The Cowgirls celebrated the victory by standing arm in arm on the floor and singing university’s alma mater with the crowd. Interim coach Jim Littell and many of the players then pointed their index fingers toward the sky and went into the stands to hug Budke’s wife and parents, who attended the game and sat behind the home bench.

In the immediate wake of the Nov. 17 crash in Arkansas, Oklahoma State postponed home games last weekend against Grambling State and Texas-Arlington, but university officials decided to resume the Cowgirls’ schedule Saturday.

Oregon State defeats Towson in front of Obama

Pens top Canadiens, remain unbeaten since Crosby’s return

The Associated Press TOWSON, Md. — President Barack Obama watched brother-in-law Craig Robinson guide Oregon State to a 66-46 victory over Towson on Saturday.

The crowd inside Towson’s arena erupted in cheers as Obama and first lady Michelle Obama entered and shook fans’ hands as they made their way to courtside seats.

Daughters Malia and Sasha sat in the first row of the bleachers. Also attending were Obama’s mother-in-law, Marian Robinson, and Education Secretary Arne Duncan, a former professional basketball player and friend of Obama’s from Chicago.

Devon Collier scored 13 points for Oregon State (5-1), which bounced back from its first loss of the season Monday night against Vanderbilt. Jared Cunningham, Joe Burton and Roberto Nelson had 12 points apiece.

“When a Pac-12 team comes to a place like this, it’s a big game,” Robinson said. “Then, my relatives are here, so it’s even bigger. We needed an environment like this. It was a true road game.”

Towson dropped its home opener for the first time since 2005, falling to 0-5 under firstyear coach Pat Skerry. Marcus Damas had 18 points and 10 rebounds for the Tigers.

“It was a great atmosphere today for a college basketball game,” Towson coach Pat Skerry said. “Hopefully, that is something that could become the norm here at Towson University. We ran into a very talented, well-coached, ball-moving team in Oregon State. In the first half, they really seized control of things.”

Oregon State closed with a 12-2 run to take a 32-20 lead into the break. A layup by Collier increased the lead to 51-34 with 12 minutes remaining.

“We play in a conference that has really good fans so we like to get a lot of pressure,” Robinson said. “(Towson) is a good, fan-followed team. You know it’s going to be full when the president and first lady are here.”

Catching an Oregon State game has become a postThanksgiving tradition for the Obamas. Last year, Robinson and the Beavers came to Washington and defeated Howard. The year before that, Oregon State traveled east and scored a win against George Washington.

“This is my third time doing it and it’s always a great feeling having the president come to watch your game,” said Cunningham, Oregon State’s junior guard. “Other teams are always going to play their hardest because it’s on their home court. We did a good job tonight.”

At halftime, Obama was surrounded by the entire Towson football team, which was honored for winning the Colonial Athletic Association regular-season title. The team dispersed after coach Rob Ambrose jokingly threatened an impromptu practice.

Actor Bill Murray, whose son, Luke, is an assistant coach at Towson, also attended the game and spent several minutes talking with the Obamas.

He sat in the third row of the bleachers and posed for pictures with several fans.

The Associated Press MONTREAL — After losing Sidney Crosby for nearly a year, the Pittsburgh Penguins were happy to see another one of their stars recover quickly, and return very successfully, from a hit to the head.

Kris Letang came back with a bloodied and broken nose from a hit late in regulation to score 2:09 into overtime, giving Pittsburgh a 4-3 win over the Montreal Canadiens on Saturday night.

Letang scored his third goal after James Neal poked the puck free from Carey Price and the Penguins improved to 3-0-1 since Crosby returned to the lineup.

“It shows a lot of guts and we’re all happy that, first of all, he’s OK, and for him to respond like that it’s pretty amazing,” Crosby said.

Letang passed a concussion protocol after he had his nose broken on a hit by Max Pacioretty with 3:14 to go in the third.

“They were just happy to see me get back in the game,” Letang said. “They didn’t say much other than, ‘Let’s go!

Get one!’”

Price threw away his stick and defenseman Hal Gill, one of the Canadiens’ alternate captains, argued with referee Dan O’Rourke — to no avail — that his goalie had covered up the puck on the play.

“It’s really disappointing it ended that way,” Montreal coach Jacques Martin said.

Jordan Staal drew Pittsburgh even at 3 with 4:30 left in regulation. Staal drove in on Price after taking a pass from Evgeni Malkin and stickhandled to freeze the Montreal goalie before flipping a shot into the top left corner.

Crosby, who had three assists in Pittsburgh’s 6-3 win over Ottawa on Friday, got his eighth point in four games back from concussion-like symptoms that sidelined him for the better part of 11 months with an assist on Evgeni Malkin’s goal 21 seconds in.

Pascal Dupuis also scored for the Penguins. Marc-Andre Fleury stopped 24 shots.

Pacioretty and Erik Cole each had a goal and an assist, and Travis Moen scored an unassisted goal for Montreal, which lost in Philadelphia on Friday. Carey Price made 38 saves.

ROUNDUP

UNLV knocks off No. 1 North Carolina The Associated Press LAS VEGAS — UNLV had been playing under the radar after winning its first six games this season against non-ranked teams.

Not anymore.

Chace Stanback had a career-high 28 points and added 10 rebounds to help UNLV beat top-ranked North Carolina 90-80 on Saturday night in the championship game of the Las Vegas Invitational.

Mike Moser added 16 points and 18 rebounds, Oscar Bellfield had 16 points and nine rebounds, and Anthony Marshall finished with 13 points for the Rebels (7-0).

“I could tell on the bus on the way over and at shoot-around how focused we were,” said first-year UNLV coach Dave Rice. “North Carolina is so well coached. We expected to play really, really well. We felt we had a chance to be competitive. We have four seniors. We don’t want one game to define our program. We want to be judged on our consistency.”

P.J. Hairston and John Henson each had 15 points for North Carolina (5-1).

“Needless to say, we are extremely disappointed. I would like to congratulate coach Rice and his team,” North Carolina coach Roy Williams said. “They did a nice job. We could never get our focus offensively the entire game. What killed us, they got 20 points on offensive rebounds to our six.”

Dexter Strickland had 12 points and John Henson added 11 points and eight rebounds for the Tar Heels, who were out-rebounded 48-39.

“I was surprised that we didn’t rebound the basketball better,” Williams said. “I was surprised about a lot of things we didn’t do.

We have to guard the basketball better. We never did get the flow going. We have to be whole lot more patient.”

After North Carolina took a 42-38 halftime lead, UNLV opened the second half with a 14-0 run as the Tar Heels missed their first 10 shots. The Rebels built a 77-63 lead on Lopez’s basket off a rebound with 5:39 left.

Rebels fans stormed the Orleans Arena court after the victory.

NBA

Lockout may be nearly over, but Blazers still need a GM

By Anne M. Peterson The Associated Press

PORTLAND — Now that NBA owners and players have reached a tentative labor agreement, the Portland Trail Blazers need to resume their search for a general manager.

If the lockout-ending deal struck early Saturday in New York is formally approved by both sides, the league will play a 66-game season beginning Dec 25. Training camps and free agency would open on Dec. 9.

“Glad to be back!” Blazers forward LaMarcus Aldridge, the team’s play-

er representative, tweeted Saturday morning.

When it appeared that the lockout was dragging on, The Oregonian newspaper cited a source that said the team had suspended the search for a new GM to replace Rich Cho, who had served less than a year on the job when he was abruptly dismissed in May. College scouting director Chad Buchanan was named interim general manager and he led a team of front-office staff in conducting the team’s draft in June. However, he has been ruled out as Cho’s permanent

successor.

The Blazers did not immediately respond to requests for comment Saturday.

With the opening of free agency, the Blazers should also get a better idea of center Greg Oden’s future with the team. Portland offered the former No. 1 draft pick an $8.8 million qualifying offer to stay in Portland back on June 29.

That means the often-injured 7foot center is a restricted free agent.

The Blazers can match any offers that other teams make for him.

The 23-year-old Oden didn’t play

last season after microfracture surgery on his left knee. He missed his rookie season in 2007-08 after microfracture surgery on his right knee.

Two seasons ago he broke his left kneecap.

Because of his injuries, the former Ohio State star has played in only 82 games over parts of two seasons, averaging 9.4 points and 7.3 rebounds.

But before anything can be done from a personnel standpoint, a majority on each side must approve the labor agreement. The NBA, which owns the New Orleans Hornets, needs votes from 15 of 29 owners,

while the union needs a simple majority of its 430-plus members.

That process became a bit more complicated after the players dissolved the union Nov. 14. Now, they must drop their antitrust lawsuit in Minnesota and reform the union before voting on the deal.

Because the union disbanded, a new collective bargaining agreement can only be completed once the union has reformed. Drug testing and other issues still must be negotiated between the players and the league, which also must drop the lawsuit it filed in New York.

COLLEGE FOOTBALL ROUNDUP

COLLEGE FOOTBALL SCOREBOARD

Stanford tops Notre Dame, 28-14 The Associated Press STANFORD, Calif. — Andrew Luck walked back into the overcrowded home locker room at Stanford Stadium, greeted by hugs and handshakes and serenaded with a chant that suited him just perfectly.

“Macho, Macho man!” teammates bellowed, singing the lyrics to the Village People’s famous song. “I want to be a Macho man!”

Only one has earned that title on The Farm.

Luck set the school record for the most career touchdown passes and eclipsed his own single-season mark, throwing for 233 yards and four scores to lead fourth-ranked Stanford past No. 22 Notre Dame 28-14 in his home finale Saturday night.

Luck topped John Elway’s record of 77 touchdown passes and helped the Cardinal (11-1) build a 21-0 halftime lead. He has thrown for 80 touchdowns in three years, and 35 this season.

“There’s no player in America like Andrew Luck,” Stanford coach David Shaw said.

“Forget about the stats. Forget about the comparisons of other guys. It doesn’t matter.”

Luck of the Irish? Forget it.

Luck is on Stanford’s side.

The victory likely vaulted the Cardinal into consideration for an at-large BCS bowl bid for the second straight year — with the Fiesta Bowl among the leading possible destinations — but they probably will not play for a national championship this season.

“I think one loss, that’s great,” said Luck, who turned down a chance to be the NFL draft’s top pick this year.

“We’ve been on a 23-2 run for a while, I think it’s pretty impressive. We put ourselves in position to be in a good bowl game, and that’s what we wanted to do.”

Also on Saturday: No. 2 Alabama . . . . . . . . . . . . . 42 Auburn . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 14 AUBURN, Ala. — Trent Richardson rushed for a career-high 203 yards and AJ McCarron threw three firsthalf touchdown passes to lift Alabama. The Crimson Tide (11-1, 7-1 Southeastern Conference) now must wait and see if its resume is good enough to secure a shot at a second national title in three years. No. 3 Oklahoma State and No. 1 LSU have big games remaining.

NBA Continued from D1 “We look forward to opening on Christmas Day,” Adam Silver, the NBA’s deputy commissioner, said during the brief news conference. “We’re excited to bring NBA basketball back. That’s most important.”

A little more than two weeks ago, the talks appeared dead.

A federal mediator had intervened twice without success.

The league’s commissioner, David Stern, had tried threats and ultimatums before declaring negotiations over on Nov. 10.

Four days later, the players dissolved their union and filed a federal antitrust lawsuit.

Stern promptly forecast a “nuclear winter” for the league, amid widespread predictions that the 2011-12 season would be canceled.

The deal was finally forged by the possibility of a cancellation, the feared loss of billions of dollars to the league and its players, and, perhaps, by the uncertainty created by the looming legal battle.

The new agreement calls for a 50-50 split of basketballrelated revenues between the owners and the players, about $2 billion for each side in current terms. There is a possibility that the players can make as much as 51 percent or as little as 49 percent, depending on whether the league exceeds or falls short of projections. The players had been receiving 57 percent.

The loss of 16 regular-season games and the preseason cost the owners and players about $400 million for each group. The parties had already resolved the biggest issues, including the $300 million salary reduction, weeks ago, but were hung up on fairly minor details — mostly rules restricting the top-spending teams from add-

No. 6 Virginia Tech . . . . . . . . . 38 No. 24 Virginia . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 0 CHARLOTTESVILLE, Va. — Logan Thomas threw for two touchdowns and ran for one and David Wilson scored on two long runs in the second half as Virginia Tech shut out Virginia. The Hokies (11-1, 71 Atlantic Coast Conference) earned the league’s Coastal Division title and a rematch with No. 18 Clemson in next weekend’s ACC championship game in Charlotte.

No. 7 Boise State . . . . . . . . . . . 36 Wyoming . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 14 BOISE, Idaho — Kellen Moore tossed three touchdown passes, including a 46-yarder on the final play of the first half, to lead Boise State. After getting off to a sluggish start, Moore and the Broncos (101, 5-1) rattled off 36 straight points to put the game away.

No. 10 USC . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 50 UCLA . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 0 LOS ANGELES — Matt Barkley passed for 423 yards and six touchdowns in his possible Coliseum farewell, Robert Woods set the conference’s single-season receptions record while catching 12 passes for 113 yards and two TDs, and Southern California (10-2, 7-2) finished its resurgent season with a demolition of Pac-12 title game-bound UCLA. No. 11 Michigan State. . . . . . . 31 Northwestern . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 17 EVANSTON, Ill. — Keshawn Martin returned a punt 57 yards for a touchdown just before halftime and Kirk Cousins threw two TD passes to B.J.

ship game.

No. 12 Oklahoma . . . . . . . . . . . 26 Iowa State . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 6 NORMAN, Okla. — Landry Jones threw for 256 yards, Blake Bell punched in two short touchdown runs and Oklahoma (9-2, 6-2 Big 12) set up a Bedlam showdown against Oklahoma State for the conference championship.

No. 13 Georgia . . . . . . . . . . . . . 31 No. 25 Georgia Tech . . . . . . . . 17 ATLANTA — Aaron Murray threw four touchdown passes and Georgia extended its domination over Georgia Tech. The Bulldogs (10-2) did not get caught looking past their state rival to next week’s return trip to Atlanta, when they will take a 10-game winning streak into the Southeastern Conference championship game against top-ranked LSU. No. 14 South Carolina. . . . . . . 34 No. 18 Clemson . . . . . . . . . . . . 13 COLUMBIA, S.C. — Connor Shaw threw for three touchdowns and ran for another to lead South Carolina to a 10win season for the first time in 27 years and its third straight victory against Clemson. The Gamecocks (10-2) choked off Clemson’s once-high scoring offense, holding the Tigers (9-3) to 153 yards and Atlantic Coast Conference passing leader Tajh Boyd to 83 yards through the air.

No. 15 Wisconsin. . . . . . . . . . . 45 No. 20 Penn State . . . . . . . . . . . 7 MADISON, Wis. — Montee Ball scored four more touchdowns in his pursuit of an NCAA record, powering Wisconsin to a spot in next week’s Big Ten championship game.

Ball has scored 34 touchdowns

ing players. With a 66-game schedule in reach, everyone finally resolved that those items were not worth sacrificing a season and alienating fans and sponsors.

“For myself, it’s great to be a part of this particular moment, in terms of giving our fans what it is that they so badly wanted and want to see,” said Derek Fisher, president of the players union.

Fisher did not smile as he said it, appearing more relieved than happy.

Billy Hunter, the longtime head of the players union, sat stoically next to him. No one on the players’ side praised the agreement.

League officials achieved their two broadest goals: reduced costs and a system that evens the playing field between the richest and poorest teams. The reduction in player salaries should offset the NBA’s reported $300 million in annual losses and provide a savings of about $3 billion over the 10-year agreement. Each side has an option to terminate the deal after six years. It addition to the significant pay cut for players, the deal includes shorter contracts, smaller raises and a more punitive tax system to rein in the top-spending teams.

“I think it will largely prevent the high-spending teams from competing in the freeagency market in a way that they have been able to in the past,” Silver said, adding, “We feel ultimately it will give fans in every community hope that their team can compete for championships.”

The New York Knicks generated an estimated $226 million in revenue last season, while the Milwaukee Bucks earned just $92 million, according to Forbes. The payroll gap is also striking, with the Mavericks spending nearly $90 million on

its roster and the Sacramento Kings $45 million. The league is developing a new revenuesharing plan to help boost small-market teams.

The average NBA salary is $5 million, with a minimum salary of about $500,000 and with stars making $15 million or more. Kobe Bryant of the Los Angeles Lakers earns a league-high $25 million.

Training camps will open Dec. 9. Unsigned players will be permitted to sign new contracts that day, setting up a chaotic two-week dash toward the 2011-12 season.

The three Christmas games are likely to be the ones that were already on the schedule: The Knicks will host the Boston Celtics to open the day, followed by an NBA Finals rematch, with the Miami Heat visiting the defending champion Dallas Mavericks. The Chicago Bulls will visit the Lakers in the finale.

The rest of the schedule will be reconstructed and released in the coming days. The season will begin eight weeks later than originally scheduled and will be extended into late April, pushing back the playoffs and the finals by a week.

Teams will have to play, on average, about two more games per month and sometimes on three consecutive nights — which has not been done since the lockout-shortened 1999 season. That season, the shortest in the modern era, is often regarded with an asterisk and was marked by sloppy play and out-of-shape players.

In the 2011-12 season, every team will play 48 in-conference games, just four fewer than normal. But teams will play only 18 out-of-conference games, meaning not every team will visit every city.

Negotiators must still settle a myriad of B-list issues, including drug testing, the age limit

this season for the Badgers (10-2, 6-2 Big Ten), the second-most in a single season in NCAA history. Barry Sanders holds the record, scoring 39 for Oklahoma State in 11 games in the 1988 season.

No. 17 Michigan . . . . . . . . . . . . 40 Ohio State . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 34 ANN ARBOR, Mich. — Denard Robinson accounted for five touchdowns and Michigan snapped a school-record, seven-game losing streak to its biggest rival. Robinson was 14 of 17 — completing 11 straight passes during one stretch — for 167 yards with TD passes to Kevin Koger, Junior Hemingway and Martavious Odoms for Michigan (10-2, 6-2 Big Ten).

No. 21 Baylor. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 66 Texas Tech. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 42 ARLINGTON, Texas — Nick Florence threw two long touchdown passes after Robert Griffin was knocked out of the game, and Baylor extended its winning streak to four games. The Bears (8-3, 5-3 Big 12) went on to a record victory without Griffin, whose Heisman Trophy chances were dealt a blow.

Washington. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 38 Washington State . . . . . . . . . . 21 SEATTLE — Keith Price threw three touchdown passes to become Washington’s alltime single-season leader in that category, the final one a 22-yard toss to Chris Polk, and Washington held off rival Washington State. The Huskies (7-5, 5-4 Pac-12) snapped a three-game losing streak and sent the Cougars (4-8, 27) into an offseason filled with questions.

Arizona. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 45 Louisiana-Lafayette . . . . . . . . 37 TUCSON, Ariz. — Nick Foles threw for 352 yards and three touchdowns in his final game for Arizona, and the Wildcats (4-8) held off Louisiana-Lafayette. Foles, whose status for the game had been uncertain because of bruised ribs, tied the school record for career (64) and single-season (31) touchdown passes.

Wesley . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 49 Linfield . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 34 DOVER, Del. — Quarterback Shane McSweeny powered Wesley to 42 consecutive second-half points to knock off Linfield in a second-round NCAA Division III playoff game.

THE GAME

No. 9 Oregon defeats Oregon State 49-21 • Ducks running back LaMichael James runs for 142 yards before being sidelined with an injury to his elbow

The Civil War, by the numbers A look at some of the numbers during Saturday’s Oregon-Oregon State game: 62: Number of rushing attempts by Oregon.

Oregon State had about one-third of that number, with 21 running plays. The Ducks ran 102 plays.

38: Number of first downs in the game by Oregon.

Oregon State had just 15, and only three in the first half.

9: Number of players who had at least one reception for Oregon State. Brandin Cooks and Joe Halahuni led the Beavers with five each.

4: Number of consecutive wins in the Civil War series for Oregon.

By Anne M. Peterson The Associated Press

EUGENE — It became clear that LaMichael James was not too badly hurt when he and Oregon teammate Kenjon Barner danced on the sidelines before the start of the fourth quarter.

The junior duo bopped to “Shout!” with the rest of the sellout crowd at Autzen Stadium as the Ducks cruised to a 49-21 victory over Oregon State in the Civil War rivalry game to clinch the Pac-12 North Division title and a spot in the league’s first championship game.

Earlier in the quarter, James — who ran for 142 yards and the game’s first touchdown — left with an injured left elbow.

“It’s good,” he said, vigorously flexing his elbow after the game. “I could’ve played.”

The demonstration was assurance that he would be ready come Friday night when Oregon (10-2, 8-1 Pac-12) hosts UCLA with a chance to win a third straight conference title and a spot in the Rose Bowl.

Quarterback Darron Thomas, who passed for 305 yards and four touchdowns, said a victory in the Civil War was one of the goals Oregon set at the start of the season. The Ducks (No. 9 AP, No. 10 BCS) have won the past four in the 115-game history of the rivalry.

“This was a big game for the team and we wanted to win it for Eugene,” Thomas said.

“The win wasn’t just for us, it was for the fans.”

For the second season in a row, the Beavers (3-9, 3-6) are not going to a bowl game.

James, a Heisman Trophy finalist last season, entered Saturday’s game as the nation’s top rusher with an average of 142.78 yards per game.

He was hurt midway through the third quarter when he was hit by Oregon State linebacker Tony Wilson and landed awkwardly on his left elbow.

The junior running back was already wearing a brace on his right elbow, which he dislocated on Oct. 6 against California. He missed two games because of that injury.

Ducks Continued from D1 So chances are that Oregon, which was No. 4 in the BCS standings going into the USC game (and is currently No. 10), never would have moved past No. 2 Alabama in the BCS even if the Ducks had beaten the Trojans.

But enough of the BCS would-haves and shouldhaves. Oregon (10-2, 8-1 Pac12) refused to sulk after having its admittedly slim national championship hopes snuffed out.

“Losses tend to stick with you and you have to sort of shake them off,” said Oregon offensive lineman Carson York. “Maybe this (the Civil War win) was a good way to sort of shake off whatever residual effect was left of that (USC) game. Charles Barkley always said he hates losing way more than he enjoys winning. It’s the same way with every competitor.”

What we saw on a partly sunny Saturday in Eugene was Duck football at its finest — after a slow start, of course.

For the third straight game, the Oregon offense sputtered in the first quarter, despite early interceptions by Michael Clay and Kiko Alonso.

Coach Chip Kelly’s brazen fourth-down philosophy backfired in the first quarter, as the Ducks went zero for three on fourth downs. The latest was a fourth-and-14 play, which resulted in an incomplete pass by quarterback Darron Thomas.

OSU’s Jovan Stevenson was left wide open early in the second quarter, and he caught a Sean Mannion pass and weaved through the Duck defense for a 58-yard touchdown that tied the game 7-7.

The Beavers were believin’

The University of Oregon bench, including Derrick Malone Jr. (22), reacts in the final moments of Saturday’s victory over Oregon State in Eugene during the annual Civil War game.

At left, Oregon running back LaMichael James breaks a tackle by Oregon State’s Scott Crichton. James rushed for 142 yards in the game.

Oregon looked as if it was making a strong bid for a spot in the BCS Championship Game until last weekend, when the Ducks fell to Southern California 38-35. But they bounced back easily against Oregon State.

Versatile Oregon freshman De’Anthony Thomas

— and the Ducks needed a spark on offense.

They got it — as they often have this season — from De’Anthony Thomas. A cut here, a spin there, and his 19yard run set up Darron Thomas’ 16-yard touchdown pass to tight end David Paulson. That put the Ducks ahead to stay.

“Our plan was to make them (the Beavers) defend the whole field, and that opens up the run game,” Kelly said.

Oregon’s uncharacteristically “long” touchdown drive of nine plays and 79 yards set the tone for the rest of the Civil War. A 39-yard run by LaMichael James, during which he broke two tackles and simply refused to go down, set up Darron Thomas’ 8-yard touchdown pass to De’Anthony Thomas and gave Oregon a 21-7 lead late in the first half.

“It took us a while to get into rhythm,” Kelly said. “But when we get into rhythm, it’s tough to stop.”

Kelly noted that the Ducks had 102 offensive snaps.

“That’s good, because it means I can make more bad (play) calls,” he said, smiling.

Thomas added a 16-yard touchdown pass to Kenjon Barner for a 28-7 halftime lead, and the Ducks were on their way to an easy win.

Darron Thomas completed 27 of 40 passes for 305 yards and four touchdowns, and Paulson was his favorite target.

Often left open in the flat, Paulson had eight receptions for 105 yards, both career highs.

“You can see how much confidence Darron has in (Paulson),” Kelly said. “Those guys have great chemistry.”

“Coach Kelly wanted us to get the ball in space and open up the run game,” Darron Thomas said.

rushed for 71 yards and had 10 catches for 86 yards and a score. Barner ran for 64 yards and a touchdown, and he also caught a scoring pass.

“I feel like we played real well,” said De’Anthony Thomas, who finished with 197 allpurpose yards. “I can’t wait to play next week. We’re gonna

Oregon should be heavily favored against UCLA; the two teams did not meet this year during the regular season.

“We’re excited we get a chance to represent the North (Division of the Pac-12),” Kelly said. “It’s kind of weird saying that.”

“It’s going to be fun,” Paulson added, looking ahead to the conference title game. “It’s one more chance to play in front of the home crowd. And it’s always fun to see someone new.”

play even better.”

Redshirt freshman Sean Mannion passed for 299 yards and three touchdowns for the Beavers. But Oregon State struggled on the ground with just 16 yards rushing, compared with Oregon’s 365.

James scored early on a 1yard run, becoming Oregon’s

all-time leading scorer with 324 points.

The Beavers tied it 7-7 when Jovan Stevenson grabbed a swing pass from Mannion and weaved his way downfield for a touchdown early in the second quarter.

“You get to play in a rivalry and after the first play, it’s just playing football,” Mannion said. “That’s all there is to it.”

Before the half, Oregon scored on Darron Thomas’ 16-yard pass to David Paulson and his 8-yard pass to De’Anthony Thomas.

Darron Thomas hit Barner for another 16-yard touchdown just before halftime to make it 28-7. Barner ran a yard for another score in the third quarter, and Thomas connected with freshman Colt Lyerla for a 39-yard touchdown early in the fourth period.

Mannion threw touchdown passes in the fourth quarter to Kevin Cummings (19 yards) and Brandin Cooks (23 yards).

Oregon State flanker James Rodgers did not suit up be-

cause of a left ankle injury. It was to be the final game of a college career with some great moments and a severe injury.

In the 2007 Civil War, Rodgers scored on a fly sweep in overtime to give the Beavers a 38-31 victory at Autzen Stadium. Oregon State has not defeated their in-state rival since then.

Rodgers was a fifth-year senior this season coming off a pair of knee operations.

Oregon linebacker Dewitt Stuckey (shoulder) and end Dion Jordan (ankle) both played against Oregon State after leaving with injuries against USC. Last weekend’s loss to USC at Autzen Stadium snapped a 21-game winning streak at home and a 19-game win streak in conference games for Oregon. The Ducks have not lost two straight at home since 2002.

“I felt like we shouldn’t have lost that game,” De’Anthony Thomas said. “But those things happen. Now we gotta get back and win the Pac-12 championship.”

Just as the Ducks were expected to beat the Beavers — they were 28-point favorites against a three-win Oregon State team — they will be expected to beat UCLA. If they take care of business like they did in the Civil War, they will earn that trip to Pasadena.

“It’s one of our goals checked off,” said Darron Thomas of the Civil War victory. “We’ve still got more to check off.”

THE BULLETIN • SUNDAY, NOVEMBER 27, 2011

T H E CI V I L WA R

Beavers Continued from D1 “As good a team as they are, it just would have been so important for us to do something (offensively) when we were doing that (stopping the Ducks defensively),” said an exhausted-looking Riley, surrounded by reporters in a small, drab room just outside the visitors’ locker room at Autzen. “We made a lot of good plays defensively and hung in there for a long time. But with no response from us offensively — as a matter of fact going backwards offensively — it really hurt us.”

In a way, it was a fitting end to a terrible season for Oregon State.

All year it seemed OSU would struggle with one phase of the game or another. The offense would play well, and the defense would struggle.

The passing game would click, but the running game would fizzle.

Saturday, the Beavers needed to play perfectly to even have a chance.

While it likely would not have mattered — the talent gap between Oregon and Oregon State is just too wide at the moment — at least the defense provided a spark.

Three early fourth-down stops kept OSU in the game, even though quarterback Sean Mannion was most accurate to those wearing green, throwing interceptions on two of his first seven throws. That helped the Ducks start their first three possessions in Beaver territory.

Oregon scored on its first possession. But with the Ducks hunting again on their next possession, the Beavers forced Darron Thomas to throw incomplete on fourth down to stop Oregon on OSU’s 38-yard line.

After Mannion’s second interception of the game, OSU’s defense stiffened again, forcing tight end David Paulson out of bounds just short of a first down on fourth down and 7.

On the Ducks’ next possession, the Beavers showed strong again. Safety Anthony Watkins dragged down De’Anthony Thomas for a 2-yard loss

Oregon State’s Jovan Stevenson runs on his way scoring on a 58-yard touchdown pass from Sean Mannion for the first Beaver score during Saturday’s Civil War game against Oregon in Eugene.

on a second-down reverse to stop what could have been a big gain. A play later, Rashaad Reynolds broke up Darron Thomas’ pass, and stifling coverage forced Thomas’ fourth-down throw to fall harmlessly to the turf.

“We definitely felt like we had some chances,” senior OSU tight end Joe Halahuni said. “Offensively, we didn’t execute the way we needed to.”

The early defensive effort finally paid off with 11:08 left before halftime. Mannion hit reserve Jovan Stevenson on a screen pass, and the sophomore running back outran the

Duck defense for a 58-yard touchdown that tied the score and sent the Beaver sideline into hysterics.

But the fervor would be short-lived.

Oregon answered with breathtaking speed, ending a 79-yard drive with a 16-yard Darron Thomas to Paulson touchdown pass with 8:05 left in the half.

The defense was beat, OSU’s offense was going nowhere, and it got ugly fast.

In all, the Beavers managed just three first downs in the first half.

And their 125 first-half yards were

paltry under any circumstance, but especially compared with Oregon’s 395 first-half yards.

No team can survive Oregon’s offense — which is best stopped by keeping it on the sideline — with just three first downs. Indeed, what was a promising start for the Beavers turned into a 28-7 landslide by halftime.

Mannion, who was constantly under siege by Oregon’s defense, seemed tentative and out of sync early. And though he finished with 299 yards and three touchdowns on 27-

of-44 passing, his first-half struggles did not help.

“It was a little bit of a slow start,” said Mannion.

Was he nervous?

“I don’t know if I would call it nerves,” the freshman quarterback said. “I’d call it excitement.”

Mannion will be the linchpin of OSU’s future.

But Saturday’s game showed just how wide the chasm is between the Beavers and the Ducks, who have now won the past four Civil Wars.

While the result was far from unexpected, it was a blunt-force ending to a traumatic 3-9 season for OSU — the Beavers’ worst record by percentage since 1996, when they went 2-9 in Jerry Pettibone’s final season as their head coach. Riley’s first Oregon State team went 3-8 in 1997.

“I thought we had improved enough to really compete in the ballgame today, so we were very disappointed with how that went,” Riley said.

It’s soul-searching time in Corvallis, and Riley knows it. Is the talent gap between Oregon and Oregon State as wide as Saturday’s score would suggest?

“I hope not,” Riley said. “I’m going to look at this thing real hard and try to be as realistic and try not to look at it too much with rose-colored glasses, I suppose.

“It’s a valid question, but I think we may not be that far off.”

The relentlessly optimistic Riley does see light at the end of the tunnel.

He sees enough to think it won’t always be like this in Corvallis.

“I like this team for the fact that they kept working,” Riley said. “It didn’t amount to much today, considering the result of the game, but the fact that they certainly have improved and kept a good attitude I think is a tribute to the group of seniors that we have. And I think that bodes well for the guys that are all coming back for this team.”

CIVIL WAR NOTEBOOK

Oregon State goes to war without star receiver Rodgers

By Mark Morical and Zack Hall The Bulletin

EUGENE — James Rodgers, Oregon State’s all-time receptions leader, did not play Saturday in the Beavers’ 49-21 Civil War loss to Oregon.

Rodgers suffered a sprained ankle on an attempted trick play last week against Washington, and he was considered a game-time decision in the week leading up to Civil War. He warmed up before the game, but OSU coach Mike Riley told the speedy Rodgers that “he didn’t look good.”

Riley and the trainers decided it was too risky to put the NFL prospect into the game.

That decision closed the college career of one of the most electric playmakers in OSU football history.

“It’s obviously tough,” Riley said, “but being his last game also it wouldn’t have been any good to put him at risk.

“I didn’t think it was wise to (play him).”

Rodgers was granted a fifth year of eligibility this season after suffering a knee injury at Arizona in the fifth game of the 2010 season.

The 5-foot-7 receiver from Richmond, Texas, ended his career with 222 catches for 2,578 yards and 19 touchdowns. His best season was as a junior in 2009, when he caught 91 passes for 1,034

yards and nine touchdowns, earning first-team all-Pac-10 honors.

UO dominating Civil War Oregon’s victory in the 115th Civil War on Saturday was its fourth straight in the series, and the Ducks have now won eight of the past nine Civil War meetings in Eugene.

Oregon State has not won the Civil War — the longestrunning college football rivalry west of the Rocky Mountains — since a 38-31 victory at Autzen Stadium in 2007.

Oregon kept Oregon State out of the Rose Bowl with a victory in 2008, and the Ducks defeated the Beavers again in 2009, when a Rose Bowl berth was on the line for both teams.

The Civil War rivalry is seemingly more important to the fans than to the players.

“I think it’s more for the fans,” said linebacker Michael Clay, a junior from San Jose, Calif., who led Oregon with 12 tackles Saturday. “For us, it’s just another game.”

Paulson has career game Oregon tight end David Paulson finished with eight catches for 105 yards against Oregon State, both career highs.

“It just so happened they kind of left the flat open,” Paulson said of the OSU defense.

“He’s a special player,” Kelly

said of Paulson, a senior from Auburn, Wash. “He doesn’t say anything. He doesn’t care if he ever gets the ball. He’s content to block.”

The reliable Paulson seemed to help quarterback Darron Thomas’ confidence. Thomas passed for 305 yards and four touchdowns.

“D.P.’s been one of the most consistent guys all year,” Thomas said. “He caught every ball I threw to him.”

major factor in what we did this season, or didn’t do,” Riley said.

But does he have the right backs in place?

“Yes, I really believe that,” Riley said.

$

OSU’s ground-game woes Oregon State was dreadful running the ball this season, averaging just 93.4 yards per game heading into Saturday’s Civil War, better than only Colorado this season in the Pac-12 Conference.

Against the Ducks, those struggles were on full display.

OSU rushed the ball 21 times for a net of just 16 yards, primarily relying on freshman Terron Ward (six carries, 31 yards) and Jovan Stevenson (five carries, 11 yards).

The net yardage includes ground lost when quarterback Sean Mannion was sacked six times, but finding a consistent running game will be a priority this offseason, according to Beavers head coach Mike Riley.

“We will be spending A LOT of time between now and spring ball talking about that very thing, because it was a

Always sunny at Autzen?

It was late November, but with temperatures touching 60 degrees and not a drop of rain, it sure didn’t feel like it Saturday.

The Oregon Sports Infor-

mation staff announced before the game that it was the first time that a Civil War played at Autzen Stadium had no rain in the forecast since the 1995 edition, a 12-10 Oregon win.

Learning from the recent past

A

few weeks ago I asked people over 70 to send me “Life Reports” — little essays in which they evaluate their own lives. A few thousand people have written in, and I’ve been posting an essay a day on my blog.

Born in the 1920s and 1930s, most of them learned work habits in an age of scarcity and then got to explore opportunities in an age of growth. Unlike later generations, many of the men went through a phase in which they did physical labor in a factory, even if later they went on to become professionals.

Many of the women were born with limited aspirations and only saw their horizons expanded with feminism. By middle age, people of both sexes were moving freely, assuming there would be a decent job wherever they settled.

Some of my correspondents were influenced by the social revolution of the ’60s.

Hugh Nazor writes, “My wife, who had quit college when we married, was bored with life and the roles of suburban housewife and mother. Her affair with my best friend was easy for me to understand. Having grown up in the repressive, conformist ’50s, those of us who had recently lost the trust of the younger generation by being ‘over 30’ felt cheated. We were of another era, and wanted more. After some time acting out and playing ‘Bob & Carol & Ted & Alice,’ my divorce was a foregone conclusion.”

Resilience is a central theme in these essays. I don’t think we remind young people enough that life is hard.

Bad things happen.

Gilda Zelin lost her husband. “The loneliness will never disappear. The intensity ebbs as the years go by. To take care of the cold, empty nights, I have substituted an electric mattress warmer and large pillow to hug and push into, to take the place of my beloved.”

Robert Roy writes, “I often revisit the birth of my firstborn, Greg, and thoughts of who he would become. I fast-forward to when he was 35 and the image of placing a mahogany box filled with his ashes in a grave along side my mother and father.”

“My faith survived a trial by fire,” Marguerite E. Moore writes. “My seven-year-old son was hit by a car.

Will he live? (Please God!) Will he regain consciousness? (Please God!) … I know how it feels to be totally vulnerable and to know God is the only being that can save my son. (He had five doctors, none of whom would look me in the eye.) I stormed heaven, begged, pleaded, swore and promised. He survived, and so did I. My faith is like a steel rod that goes through my core and the glue that holds me together.”

Most people give themselves higher grades for their professional lives than for their private lives. Almost everybody is satisfied with the contributions they made at work. The people who started family businesses seem especially happy.

At home, many give themselves mediocre grades. One workaholic describes the time his 6-year-old son brought a family portrait home from school. He wasn’t in it, but the dog and cat were.

The essays give a big warning about the perils of marrying young.

Some people found their beloved at 19 and have spent a blissful half-century with them. But many people married before they knew themselves and endured a lonely decade before divorcing. A vast majority of those people made a wiser choice the second time around.

When the writer has a happy marriage, the essay glows with contentment. Others somehow made it work.

“It wasn’t a love match for me, or for him for that matter,” a woman from New Jersey writes, “but we made a good family and did very well for the first decade or so and stayed together until he died at 81.”

I’ve probably overemphasized the pitfalls of their lives in this column — I’ll write more about the positive lessons in the next one. But many of the writers have integrated the ups and downs into an enveloping sense of gratitude.

Not a single one of these much-

ballyhooed initiatives is producing or saving a drop or a watt or a whiff of energy, but they have managed to burn through far more taxpayer money than the illfated Solyndra. An Energy Department report in 2008 estimated that the federal government had spent $172 billion since 1961 on basic research and the development of advanced energy technologies.

What does Washington have to show for these investments? And should the government even be in the business of promoting particular energy technologies?

Jobs are key in enterprise zone

“I

t’s all about job creation.� Those are the words of Bend Finance Director Sonia Andrews, discussing plans for an enterprise zone for part of Juniper

Ridge. Absolutely.

And that means the proposed enterprise zone is a good idea, but only if important safeguards are kept to keep that focus on jobs.

The city already has an enterprise zone covering 1,082 acres, mostly along Third Street and sections of northeast and southwest Bend. Established in 2010, it allows for a three- to five-year property tax break and can be expanded with approval from the state agency, Business Oregon.

Bend proposes to add 256 acres of Juniper Ridge, the city’s 1,500 acre real estate development in northeast Bend.

For existing businesses in that zone, the incentive would apply only to any expansion or new equipment.

That’s a critical point, given the goal of adding jobs.

Remember that enterprise zone requirements do contain important provisions.

The requirements do try to ensure that the jobs are indeed new to the region, not just moved from elsewhere in Central Oregon.

The requirements do have provisions that attempt to ensure the

jobs are family-wage jobs, not the kind of lower-wage positions so common in a service economy.

And the requirements do have clawback provisions that require payback of the breaks if the jobs are not created and retained.

With those safeguards, the enterprise zone would go a long way toward giving the region a better shot at attracting relocating or new businesses being wooed by other locations in the state and nation.

It’s become the norm for governments to encourage economic growth with such tax breaks. The deal Facebook made for its move to Prineville is a case in point. Jobs and development will go elsewhere if Bend doesn’t get into the act.

Bend taxpayers also have an extra interest in the success of Juniper Ridge, given the substantial investment the city has made there.

Economic troubles have stalled progress there, but the long-term potential that launched the project years ago remains.

If job creation can also spur a return on the city’s investment in Juniper Ridge, so much the better.

But the focus should remain on jobs above all else.

Mayors’ gun report not fully informed O regon should be on target in the effort to keep guns out of the hands of those who are barred by law from owning them, based on a recent study by the Mayors Against Illegal Guns organization. Oregon has all the tools available to do the reporting it should to the National Instant Criminal Background Check System, yet it has failed woefully in that effort — at least so far as the mayors are concerned. However, as is so often the case, that’s not the whole story.

NICS is the national clearinghouse for background checks of would-be gun purchasers, and as such it relies on the states for the information it contains. States are supposed to submit records of those whose psychiatric or substance abuse problems make them ineligible for gun ownership.

That’s been the law since the Brady Bill was approved in 1993, and the registry itself has been in operation since 1998.

According to the mayors’ report, Oregon should be among those states that do well reporting

drug and psychiatric records to the registry.

It has a state law in place requiring that it do so, for one thing. It was the first state to create a way for those denied guns to restore their right to own them, if possible, which is required by the federal law. And it has received three federal grants aimed directly at making record keeping and reporting easier.

So how many psychiatric records has Oregon actually reported? Three. That puts it squarely at the bottom of the report’s list.

Sounds bad? Ah, but there’s more to the tale. The national database officials already have access to nearly all of Oregon’s records, and have for years, says Terry O’Connell, who runs the state’s Law Enforcement Data System.

So is Oregon failing in its duty to report to the national database?

Yes, for now. Is the information required readily available to that national system? Yes, mostly. Too bad the mayors’ report didn’t look a bit deeper before it placed us in the bottom of the pack.

Bill good for Ochoco district

By Doug Breese s a lifelong resident of Crook County and patron of Ochoco Irrigation District, I support Rep. Greg Walden’s bill, HR 2060, the “Central Oregon Jobs and Water Security Act.�

My great-grandfather homesteaded in the Prineville area in 1885. I am a fourth generation rancher/farmer and my children and grandchildren are also involved in the day-to-day operations, resulting in the fifth and sixth generations of farmers in our community. Our ranch is located on the banks of Ochoco Creek, and we know the value and importance of streams both for sustaining life and jobs — including fish and wildlife — and recreation.

The district was formed in 1916 for the purpose of constructing Ochoco Dam and Reservoir to irrigate 20,000 acres of farmland. Before the Bowman Dam was built, the district struggled through frequent water shortages because of the unreliability of Ochoco Reservoir re-filling.

In the mid-1950s, the district’s manager — LaSalle Coles — along with Crook County judge A.R. Bowman, pursued the construction of Bowman Dam. Their tireless efforts to protect and better our community are remarkable. The primary project purposes of Bowman Dam were to provide certainty for local irrigators and flood control, with recreation and fish and wildlife as incidental benefits. Since the completion of Bowman Dam, an incredible fishery has existed above and below the dam. Today, the Crooked River is host to one of the finest redband trout fisheries in

A

IN MY VIEW The local community appreciates and understands the importance of our reservoirs, rivers and streams, as we believe that’s what makes our community unique. the state. Boating, fishing and recreating at Prineville Reservoir are also renowned statewide.

In 1958, the U.S. government entered into a contract — a promise — with the district. The government agreed to construct Bowman Dam and the needed facilities for the Crooked River Project. The government also agreed that the project would store all available water, while maintaining requirements for flood control and a minimum release of 10 cubic feet per second for fisheries. In turn, the district agreed to operate, maintain, and repay its share of construction, as well as put the water to beneficial use. Today water users range from less than one acre to larger producing farms and ranches, providing water for everything from gardens, 4-H projects and local parks to larger producers of food.

I am a firm believer in “a deal is a deal,� and to date the promises made by the contract have been upheld. The district’s water users continue to repay their share of the project’s construction costs, and — since the completion of the

dam 50 years ago — the district has had a reliable water supply from Bowman Dam, even in some of the worst of droughts.

Besidesthedistrict’ssustainability, HR 2060 will create the flexibility and certainty needed to jump start the local economy. With unemployment the highest in the state, our local farms and businesses need to know that their livelihoods will not be jeopardized or compromised as a result of a lack of water.

As HR 2060 is currently written, local farmers will continue to irrigate the same lands and at the same rate as they have done for the last 50 years. With the certainty of new water supplies, Prineville will be able to attract new businesses. The Crooked River will continue to benefit from the releases of water for irrigation and flood control as well as the new instream release.

One only needs to visit with district staff and local officials to understand the dedication and unprecedented amount of time and financial resources already contributed to improving our local fisheries and environment. The local community appreciates and understands the importance of our reservoirs, rivers and streams, as we believe that’s what makes our community unique.

As a longtime community member and supporter, my family recognizes the many benefits of agriculture and improving our rivers and streams. We proudly support Rep. Walden’s legislation and encourage you to do the same. We truly believe it is a win for the environment as well as the community. — Doug Breese lives in Prineville.

With visa program lagging, U.S. fails to help at-risk Iraqi allies LARNACA, Cyprus — alam Hamrani is safe — for now.

My Iraqi fixer and friend endured two years in a Baghdad jail.

His crime: helping American troops nab Shiite militants who were killing his Sunni neighbors. He was finally freed and escaped with his family to Greek Cyprus.

Our reunion in Larnaca was emotional and full of laughter. But Salam’s story is a sad tale of U.S. failures and betrayals in Iraq.

A Shiite whose uncle was hung by Saddam Hussein, Salam was thrilled when U.S. troops ousted the dictator.

As Iraq collapsed into civil war, he was furious when the militant Shiite Mahdi army moved into his mixed neighborhood and started killing Sunnis.

So he started tipping U.S. officers

S

in his district about the worst of these killers.

When U.S. troops withdrew, family members of one of these thugs got friends in the Iraqi army to arrest Salam, along with his two sons.

A Shiite army general who was chummy with the killer’s mother and sister made sure Salam stayed in prison.

Although U.S. civilian and military officials made enquiries — at my urging — and these may have saved Salam’s life, they were unable to expedite his freedom. Finally, after two years, an honest judge — at great risk to his own life — freed Salam, as there was no evidence against him.

But his Mahdi army enemies, who had murdered his brother while he was in jail, made death threats against him. And — under Iraqi Prime Min-

TRUDY RUBIN ister Nouri al-Maliki — Mahdi army militiamen who killed Iraqis and U.S. troops are being let out of prison.

So Salam sold his property and his wife’s jewelry, packed up his family, including his 1-year-old granddaughter, and fled via Syria to Turkey. From Turkey, smugglers took the family in a small boat on a treacherous sea journey to Turkish Cyprus. The family gave baby Fatima a sleeping pill to keep her quiet.

They walked for hours in the dark in order to cross the Turkish-Greek Cypriot border, hushing Fatima’s cries as they passed Turkish policemen. Then they requested asylum.

They are waiting to hear from the Greek Cypriot Interior Ministry whether they will get refugee status that will enable them to stay on the island.

Congress established a Special Immigrant Visa program in 2008 to help Iraqis who are endangered because they helped us. The program promised to grant 25,000 primary visas over five years — with more visas for family members.

Less than 3,500 have been issued so far. And just when those visas are most needed — with all U.S. troops set to leave by the end of this year — the program has been frozen by new security requirements.

Only 10 applicants were admitted in August, 40 in September, and 98 in October; a backlog of thousands is still waiting. Iraqis who have completed the SIV process are being told

they must wait eight to nine more months, even though many are under death threat.

I’m getting email from Iraqi interpreters who have had to leave U.S. military bases that are closing, and are moving from house to house lest they be murdered. In eight to nine months, those interpreters may well be dead.

Top U.S. officials tell me they are focused on the Iraqi visa issue, and yet — despite all their protestations — little is moving. They refuse to consider the one act that might save Iraqis under death threat: an emergency airlift.

This failure to act is a blot on America’s honor, a betrayal of Iraqis who risked their lives to help us.

Salam, at least, is safe — for now. — Trudy Rubin is a columnist for the Philadelphia Inquirer.

C Romney is GOP’s bitter medicine N

ominating Mitt Romney is sort of like taking grandma’s castor oil. Republicans are dreading the thought of downing their unpleasant-tasting medicine but worry that sooner or later they will have to.

By any logical political calculus, the former Massachusetts governor is an ideal presidential candidate.

Ramrod straight, fit and well-educated, he knows all sorts of facts and figures and comes across like a cinematic chief executive.

At any other time, an informed technocrat like Romney would seem a dream candidate. Yet in the run-up to this election, the people are completely turned off by Washington’s so-called experts, such as Energy Secretary Steven Chu, Treasury Secretary Timothy Geithner, Attorney General Eric Holder and — increasingly — Barack Obama himself.

As a former governor and presidential candidate, Romney has been fully vetted. In these racy times, Mormonism is viewed as more a guarantee of a candidate’s past probity than a political liability. So there is little chance in late October 2012 that a blonde accuser will appear out of Romney’s past, or that the New York Times will uncover a long-ago DUI charge.

The calculating Republican establishment believes Romney has enough crossover appeal to independents to beat a shaky Obama. It still has nightmares of Tea Party senatorial candidates Sharron Angle and

VICTOR DAVIS HANSON Christine O’Donnell, whose 2010 primary victories led to inept campaigns and Republican losses in the general elections in Nevada and Delaware.

Although conservatives dub Romney a flip-flopper — for changing positions on abortion, gun control and health care — the base knew all about those old reversals in 2008, when it nonetheless praised Romney as the only conservative alternative to maverick moderate John McCain.

Apparently the party has moved to the right since then. Tea partiers worry that, once in office, a moderate President Romney would prove a reach-out centrist — spending borrowed money like George W. Bush did on No Child Left Behind or the Medicare prescription drug benefit, thereby ruining for good the nowsuspect Republican brand of fiscal sobriety.

The result of those worries is that Romney has become the process-ofelimination candidate. The Hamletlike governor of Indiana, Mitch Daniels, hemmed and hawed and bowed out — as most knew he would. The charismatic and controversial Rudy Giuliani and Sarah Palin decided they were making too much money to go through another nasty political race.

If finger-pointing magnate Donald Trump was going to bet a campaign on Obama’s reluctance to disclose official documents, he would have done better to demand the release of the president’s secret college transcripts and medical records rather than his birth certificate. In the debates, the audiences liked what former Sen. Rick Santorum had to say, regretting only that it came out of the mouth of Rick Santorum.

Rep. Michele Bachmann once soared as the anti-Romney and then crashed when 90 percent of her statements seemed courageous and inspired, but 10 percent sounded kind of weird.

Then came the most promising anti-Romney alternative, job-creating Texas Gov. Rick Perry. He looked as presidential as Romney but immediately proved even more wooden in the debates. His “brainfreeze” moments were made worse by occasional goofy explanations that seemed most un-Texan.

New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie and Florida Sen. Marco Rubio were always crowd favorites, and they’re certainly hard-charging conservatives. Yet at some point, both realized that their scant years in office were — in theory — comparable to the thin resume of Obama when he entered the presidency clueless.

Rep. Ron Paul’s shrill talk on fiscal sobriety is as refreshing as his 1930s isolationist foreign policy is creepy.

Former Utah Gov. Jon Huntsman is

a sort of weak Romney doppelganger, raising the same paradox that money, looks, polish and moderation this year are cause for suspicion, not reassurance.

Many like businessman Herman Cain’s straight-talking pragmatism.

Yet more are worried that he might not know that China is a nuclear power, or that we recently joined the British and French in bombing Libya. By now, former Speaker of the House Newt Gingrich knows almost everything about everything.

But lots of Newt’s original — and now abandoned — positions were as liberal as Romney’s. Not all that long ago, he seemed as brilliant and glib — and recklessly self-destructive — as his contemporary and antagonist, Bill Clinton.

To beat an ever-more-vulnerable Obama, Republicans keep coming back to someone who resembles a Romney, with strengths in just those areas where Obama is so demonstrably weak: prior executive experience as a governor, success in and intimacy with the private sector, a past fully vetted, and an unambiguous belief in the exceptional history and future of the United States.

In short, if Republicans are happy in theory that Mitt Romney could probably beat Obama, they seem just as unhappy in fact that first they have to nominate him.

The bygone era of the scholar-athlete

By Charles Lane The Washington Post

I

f you watch college football or basketball on television, chances are you’ve seen the ad: a men’s tennis player strokes a forehand, then morphs into a construction engineer in a hard hat. As a woman emerges from water-polo practice, her swimsuit changes into photojournalist togs.

“There are over 400,000 NCAA student-athletes,” a voice intones, “and just about all of us will be going pro in something other than sports.”

In other words: For all the expensive hoopla over football and men’s basketball — and for all their scandals — the NCAA wants you to know that most student-athletes compete in joyful obscurity and really are scholars as well as jocks.

So how come the University of Maryland is about to dump eight intercollegiate athletic teams, including men’s tennis and women’s water polo?

Despite the televised exploits of Terrapin football and men’s basketball, the athletic department at College Park has run millions of dollars in deficits for five years.

Something had to give, so university President Wallace Loh accepted a commission’s recommendation to cut the teams. Together with administrative savings, this should reduce the athletic budget by about $5 million next year.

What we have here is a case study in the true priorities of big NCAA member institutions. Some teams on the chopping block are bastions of the student-athlete ideal at College

Park. Except for men’s tennis, they have some of the Maryland athletic program’s highest graduation rates — 90 percent for men’s cross-country and track, according to an October NCAA report.

Fewer than half of the Maryland men’s basketball players and fewer than 60 percent of football players graduate, embarrassing a university that prides itself on high academic standards.

But these are “revenue sports;” their income — much of it from TV — subsidizes all the other sports.

Alumni love them, too.

So they were spared, even though

they also account for the vast bulk of the athletic department’s costs, in the form of the football team’s 85 scholarships, head football Coach Randy Edsall’s $2 million salary and men’s basketball Coach Mark Turgeon’s $1.9 million annual pay.

Yet revenue from men’s basketball and football has been declining for years, mirroring the teams’ declining win-loss records — which is the main reason for the cutbacks to the likes of track and water polo.

An alternative strategy might be to reduce the “revenue” programs to a more human scale — say, the lower-budget approach of the academi-

cally excellent schools, such as the Naval Academy and Bucknell, that participate in the Patriot League.

There’s no law that says Maryland, or any other school, has to play in the Atlantic Coast Conference.

In accepting the cuts, Loh acknowledged that “the current business model of intercollegiate athletics nationwide is inequitable and unsustainable.” He promised to “work with the ACC, the NCAA … to reset the balance between academics and big-time athletics in higher education.”

Meanwhile, however, Loh has been urging expansion of the ACC because of the potential “positive financial impact on every member school due to anticipated increases in television revenue.” See you at the Final Four!

The closest that anyone at College Park came to thinking outside this box was the university Senate executive committee’s mild observation that “the criteria used in selecting the teams for discontinuation did not specifically consider the academic achievements of the students.” Now that’s speaking truth to power.

The ideal of the scholar-athlete is an ancient and beautiful cultural norm, inherited from the Greeks and epitomized in our time by such people as Byron White and Alan Page, football heroes who went on to become justices of the U.S. and Minnesota Supreme Courts, respectively.

Alas, your tickets to college football and basketball no longer underwrite that ideal.

Khmer Rouge victims deserve their day in court

By Michael Abramowitz and Mark Sarna The Washington Post

PHNOM PENH, Cambodia — few hours outside of Cambodia’s capital, Taing Kim, a delicate woman who spent several years as a nun, lives in a gray concrete house in a quiet village amid a sea of rice paddies. She makes her living by farming and selling firewood. She was married in 1980 but says her husband left her when he learned of her past.

Taing Kim, 58, is one of thousands of victims who have filed to be heard in the trial of three of the surviving leaders of the Khmer Rouge — the murderous party in power from 1975 to 1979 that tried forcibly to create an agrarian utopia in Cambodia, and killed some 1.7 million people along the way.

Nuon Chea, the No. 2 leader in the Pol Pot regime; Khieu Samphan, the former head of state; and Ieng Sary, who was foreign minister, face charges of crimes against humanity, genocide and war crimes.

When the Extraordinary Chambers in the Courts of Cambodia be-

A

gan opening statements Monday, it marked the first time the international community has held senior leaders of the Khmer Rouge to account for the system of torture, starvation, forced marriage and execution they created for people like Taing Kim. The chambers are a hybrid court of Cambodian and international judges, established by a treaty between the Cambodian government and the United Nations. The trial will constitute one of the most significant international legal cases since 1946, when the Nazi high command was tried at Nuremberg and sentenced in less than a year.

These days, the gears of international justice grind more slowly.

Great power rivalries and ambivalence have shielded the Khmer Rouge from accountability for three decades. Parties that were ambivalent, or outright hostile, at various junctures include China, the Khmer Rouge’s strongest international patron, and the current government in Phnom Penh. After Vietnam invaded Cambodia in 1978, the United States supported the Khmer Rouge diplomatically because of Cold War

politics. In the 1990s, after Cambodia held U.N.-sponsored elections, Washington became one of the driving forces behind creation of the tribunal.

Along the way, many key perpetrators have died, including Pol Pot — the Khmer Rouge leader deposed in 1979 by Vietnamese forces. Since the tribunal began its work in 2006, it has had only one trial, that of Commander “Duch,” who headed the detention facility Tuol Sleng, where “confessions” were extracted from thousands before they were murdered in the fields outside the city.

Duch was convicted last year.

The tribunal’s proceedings have been marked by unusual politicking, including charges of corruption, judicial misconduct, government interference and leaks of confidential information. Such maneuverings probably account for the cynicism we found among ordinary Cambodians.

Taing Kim said she felt “hopeless” about the court. Her story of being raped by Khmer Rouge soldiers while working at a forced labor camp is one of thousands of survivor

testimonies collected by the Documentation Center of Cambodia and provided as evidence to the tribunal.

Fueling the suspicion have been the Cambodian government’s efforts to shut down more cases, even though prosecutors have identified other suspects who should be tried. Many fear the octogenarian defendants will die before justice is served, or that donor nations will tire of the slow pace and cost of justice — roughly $150 million so far.

Finally, we are tantalizingly close to an official reckoning for the slaughter in Cambodia, by sheer numbers one of the worst cases of state-sponsored mass murder since the Holocaust. Victims like Taing Kim should have their day in court, and many young people are only now learning details of the horrors that took place in their country years ago. That improves the chances that such atrocities will be deterred in the future.

A casualty on the home front

By Jodi Jones Smith Special to The Washington Post

E

merging into the sunlight, I’m leaving for work in Winchester, Va., in my Army combat uniform. Coffee sloshes from my cup onto my bag; my patrol cap is in my hand, not on my head as it should be. I’m a wreck. A woman I don’t know, a bit older than me, smiles. She looks as if she’s about to say, “Thank you for your service,” to which I’m never sure how to respond.

Six months ago I was in Baghdad, serving as operations chief of the Gulf Region District of the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers. Our unit oversees infrastructure rebuilding — a beautiful and expensive endeavor managing construction of schools, roads, hospitals and other big-ticket items.

I was someone else six months ago, in charge of force protection, intelligence, security and combat movement across Iraq.

Then my older son, Nicholas, a charismatic and passionate 21-year-old in his third year of college, shot himself during my last week in theater.

Our unit suffered five fatalities during our year in Iraq. One individual was killed by a sniper’s single shot to the head. One person, also named Nicholas, was lost to a vehicle-borne suicide bomb. During my tenure, I learned how to receive such calls and to inform our commander. I had to be direct and calm and succinctly present the information he needed.

Once I was a fast-tracking young lieutenant. After commanding my cadet battalion, I received a regular Army commission in 1988 and went to Fort Hood, Texas. I led two engineer platoons and served as an executive officer. When I became pregnant with Nick shortly after arriving at Fort Hood, my husband and I decided I should finish the remaining three years of my active-duty service obligation and then become a stay-at-home mom; I didn’t think I could be a good officer and a good mother at the same time. In 1993, Nick’s brother, Jake, was born. While raising them, I served for years in the reserves and then inactive reserves. More than two years after resigning my commission, I re-entered the service. Nick was in college, and Jake was nearly grown.

Six months ago, I had neither calm nor poise when I received the call from the emergency room physician. Our phone numbers had Virginia area codes, so the doctor didn’t know he was calling Iraq. When the unfamiliar number popped up, I thought it must be a wrong number.

“This is Major Smith. How may I help you?”

“Jodi Smith?”

“Yes.” “This is Dr. so-and-so, at Riverside Hospital in Newport News, Virginia,” he said. “Are you the mother of Nicholas Smith?”

“Yes.” He verified my son’s birth date.

Then he told me my son had been brought in with “very serious injuries.”

He said Nick had suffered a gunshot wound to the head.

I asked if Nick was alive, and the doctor let out his breath and said, “He is right now.”

It’s true that in these circumstances you feel the blood rush to your core and your hands and feet get cold. They get cold when I think about it now. I dropped the phone and started making sounds that were part words, part shrieks. Within 30 minutes, before the chaplain had even arrived, I was headed out to begin the journey home. First I flew to Kuwait, then to Washington and finally to Newport News, where my precious boy lay in a coma.

He died the next day, about 25 hours after I arrived. None of this was the journey’s end I expected. Based on the circumstances and evidence, the police think Nick intended a suicide gesture. He succeeded, and now I am the ghost.

I am especially touched now when strangers approach and thank me for my service, though I might stumble on my reply. Sometimes I tear up. In every case, I wish I could hug them and say, “You are welcome.” Then I would look into their eyes and say that losing a child is heart-rending, but that losing one while serving in harm’s way, while protecting others, carries a unique anguish.

I now better grasp the price of freedom. I was far away when Nick went through that dark night. I wonder what others experience, what pains flare up or what they know to savor, when they are thanked for their service. We can honor those sacrifices by cherishing the gifts they bring — cherish those we hold dear, treasure our families and thank God for our blessings.

“The Drop”

by Michael Connelly (Little, Brown & Co., 388 pgs., $27.99)

By Janet Maslin New York Times News Service

Andrea Bruce / New York Times News Service

Research librarian Kamal Yunis oversees what is formally called the American Corner at the Baghdad University library in Iraq.

‘Baghdad reads’ • The Arabic adage is seeming less applicable to Iraqis in the wake of U.S. occupation

By Tim Arango New York Times News Service

BAGHDAD — n a nook of the library at Baghdad University, sturdy histories of the American Revolution and the Vietnam War line up next to Alexis de Tocqueville and John Updike.

Paperbacks from Tom Clancy and Michael Connelly, even Judy Blume, dangle guilty pleasures. And, as if to close the loop on Americana, baseball makes a token appearance with a copy of “Farm Team,” a novel about a boy who builds a ball field in a cow pasture.

Yet, the readers never come.

On a recent morning, this section was empty, as it is most days. As far as Kamal Yunis — a research librarian who oversees what is formally called the American Corner — can tell, no student has ever opened one of the books. The collection was assembled by the U.S. Embassy here and is an example, writ small, of the sort of cultural programs — “soft power,” in the diplomatic nomenclature — that the State Department will emphasize after the last troops leave. Even in this arena of cultural and educational links, U.S. diplomats say they hope to gain leverage over Iran — whose political influence here is vast and likely to grow after the departure of the U.S. military — by steering more students and academics toward U.S. ideas and, hopefully, more

opportunities to study in the United States.

Like nearly every U.S. pursuit here, a battle of ideas will be difficult to win given deep suspicions toward the U.S. and the shattered civil society that is only slowly re-emerging.

Iraq’s losses from war, tyranny and sanctions can be tabulated in physical terms, in lives and property, and in soulful shades, in identity and peace of mind.

Less momentously, on the same ledger, sit the cultural losses of reading and academic striving.

“In our society, there is a great disconnect between people and books,” Yunis said, explaining the absence of students in the American Corner.

“They are not used to reading in Arabic, much less English.”

‘Scholarly pursuits’ It was not always so. A famous and old Arabic phrase, “Cairo writes, Beirut publishes and Baghdad reads,” evokes the literary culture that flourished here before it was snuffed out by a government that left little space for individual expression and, eventually, little money for scholarly pursuits.

Over the summer, the Minis-

try of Culture held a book fair in a drab industrial park in the center of the city, its first since the 1980s. Book publishers arrived from around the Middle East, some old enough to remember when Baghdad was a beacon of Arab intellectualism.

‘We are all bookworms’ “I’m looking for distributors all over Iraq,” said Wafic Wehbi, the chief executive of Madarek, a publisher based in Beirut, in an interview at the book fair.

He said his best-seller at the fair was a book called “Against Sectarianism.”

Most literary commerce is conducted on Fridays by booksellers clustered around Muntanabbi Street in the capital’s old district. “That’s like the big library of Iraq,” said Besma Nejim, browsing English titles at the book fair. Despite the impact the war has had on Iraq’s learned classes, she said, “we are all bookworms.”

The embassy’s book collection is part of a hub established here — this one at Baghdad University opened last year — and at other universities around the country, intended to allow students to browse

Florida beach-bum/detective Thorn’s 12th book an insightful look at grief “Dead Last”

by James W. Hall (Minotaur 304 pgs., $25.99)

By Oline H. Cogdill Sun Sentinel

The newspaper obituary isn’t just the announcement of a person’s death and service schedule. Obits often are homages to a life well-lived, an insightful look at a person and the impact he or she had on their world.

But in the intriguing “Dead Last,” the obit becomes a sinister weapon that takes aim at Thorn, James W. Hall’s perennial Key Largo beach bum.

Thorn has never been the most sociable of characters — content to eke out a living tying fishing flies, enjoying “the wayward scent of wilderness” and becoming involved with one nefarious crime after another.

But the death of Rusty Stabler, his wife of one month, throws Thorn into grief-fueled rage of which he has little control.

Nearly suicidal, Thorn starts burning everything he owns — clothes, furniture, mementoes. The bonfire “cleansing” is in full force when Buddha Hilton, the 19-year-old sheriff of Starkville, Okla., shows up at Thorn’s Key Largo house.

Michaela Stabler, a high-profile lawyer who was Buddha’s adoptive mother and Rusty’s aunt, was murdered in her bed in Starkville. Rusty’s newspaper obituary was next to the body.

Buddha has little use for Thorn and both are out of their comfort zones in the urban jungle of Miami. But they

make a credible detective team as they investigate whether the growing pattern of murders is a ploy to boost ratings for a failing TV show.

Hall always has made it easy to want to get lost with Thorn as he wanders Florida and this 12th outing continues those high standards. “Dead Last” works as an exciting detective novel but also provides an insightful look at grief, at rising above pain and proves that adage about when one door shuts, another opens.

“Dead Last’s” solid story and characters who continue to grow show why Hall, who retired in 2009 as a literature professor at Florida International University, ranks at the top echelon of Florida mystery writers.

carefully selected books about America, and to find information about studying in the United States. Posters entice students with idealistic visions of a multicultural society, with one depicting a Muslim member of the Yale band performing at a basketball game.

The reality, however, is that students are put off by the byzantine visa process — not to mention rigid security checks recently put in place that have drastically reduced the numbers of Iraqis allowed to travel to the United States.

“We always alert people that there is an opportunity to study in the United States,” Yunis said. Many consider the possibility, he said, but find the process too difficult. Instead, he said, many go to Ukraine.

Diplomats, and some Iraqi officials, believe that sending more students to study in the U.S. would help counter Iranian influence here by helping to rebuild the educated, Westernoriented middle class that was decimated by Iraq’s traumas of wars and sanctions.

“If you take 500 students from high school and ask who wants to go to the U.S. and who wants to go to Iran, all would say they want to go to the U.S.,” said Adnan al-Zurufi, the governor of Najaf. Al-Zurufi, who holds U.S. citizenship, added, “Iranians don’t have anything to give people because they don’t have democracy.”

Michael Connelly begins “The Drop” as if it’s a work already in progress. Maybe that’s because there is always a Connelly project in progress, or so it seems.

His crowded schedule is not always beneficial to his fiction. But “The Drop” is one of those Harry Bosch books that starts with a bang and stays strong all the way through.

Harry, the character to whom Connelly most faithfully returns, has been around so long that his career with the Los Angeles Police Department truly is nearing its end.

There have been quasi escapes for him before, but now the clock is really ticking. So when “The Drop” throws him an open 1989 sex-related murder case, Harry jumps at it. And when the accused, Clayton Pell, turns out to have been only 8 when a 19-yearold named Lily Price was murdered, his pulse truly quickens. This looks like a mistake. And if the DNA evidence from another killing wound up in Pell’s file, that might give Harry two mysteries to solve, not one.

Away we go.

Once “The Drop” picks up full momentum, this book hurtles toward a dramatic search, a big switcheroo, a frame-up, a betrayal and a case of mistaken identity — the neat tricks familiar from many of Connelly’s other stories.

Also figuring in “The Drop” is Harry’s teenage daughter, Maddie, who came to live with him not long ago. Every time Maddie tells her dad that she’s staying out late or going to the mall, there is reason to worry — not for her safety, but for the book’s integrity. But the Maddie of “The Drop” is no victim. She’s a smart girl who can take care of herself.

Energy Continued from F1 Some economists, executives and financiers — as well as Energy Secretary Steven Chu — argue that the government must play a role because certain technologies have nonfinancial benefits, such as producing fewer greenhouse gas emissions or easing U.S. reliance on foreign oil. The semiconductor industry is often held up as a model of how government money can help build a new type of economy.

But others argue that the history of government attempts to reach for the holy grail of new energy technology — a history that features both political parties — is not inspiring. “We’re making very large bets, and the decisions seem to be more grounded in politics and geography than in engineering and science,” said Michael Graetz, a professor at Columbia Law School and the author of “The End of Energy.”

Clinch River Breeder Reactor In 1971, President Richard Nixon set a goal of building an experimental nuclear power plant. The Clinch River reactor was supposed to be a sort of perpetual motion machine, producing power as well as plutonium that could be used in other plants.

Private utilities agreed to kick in $175 million, less than half of the $400 million that the Atomic Energy Commission estimated it would cost to build. As expenses ballooned, the government covered all the overruns. The project was criticized by activists and scientists worried about the risk of nuclear weapons proliferation. Cheap uranium undercut it.

After President Ronald Reagan was elected, Clinch River survived the first round of his spending cuts, in part out of deference to Senate Majority Leader Howard Baker, R-Tenn., a strong supporter of the reactor, which was in his home state. But finally, in 1983, with the Congressional Budget Office saying the cost might exceed $4 billion, Congress terminated the program.

Blueprints had been drawn up, modeling done, components ordered and some ground cleared, but the reactor was never built. The price tag for the federal government: $1.7 billion ($3.9 billion in today’s dollars).

Synthetic Fuels Corporation President Jimmy Carter called it the “keystone” of U.S. energy policy; Congress authorized $17 billion for it to act as a sort of investment bank, funding projects that would turn plentiful U.S. coal and shale into oil and gas. Carter set a goal of producing 2 million barrels a day of “synfuels” by 1990.

Not quite. A handful of coal and auto companies tapped the new funds to build a facility that was intended to produce 50,000 barrels a day, the first of what was supposed to be a network of synfuel plants, many on federal lands. But after oil prices leveled off, then fell, in the early 1980s, the project was not economically sound, even with government help. The private partners pulled out.

Congress ousted the corporation’s president in 1983 after the entity was accused of handing out money for political reasons. In 1986, the corporation closed down. It had spent $2 billion (more than $4 billion in today’s dollars).

This sort of industrial policy fell out of favor in the Reagan era and into the 1990s, but then it returned, as fears of climate change spawned new “clean energy” ideas.

Hydrogen-powered car President George W. Bush had his own pet projects. In his 2003 State of the Union address, he called for “a new national commitment” to work toward hydrogen-powered vehicles so that “our scientists and engineers will overcome obstacles to taking these cars from laboratory to showroom.”

But on the road to the showroom, the hydrogen car made a wrong turn. From 2004 through 2008, the federal government poured $1.2 billion into hydrogen vehicle projects; the Government Accountability Office noted that about a quarter of that money went to “congressionally directed projects” outside the

offs have come in the small stuff, such as testing the use of magnesium alloys to make lightweight car batteries more efficient or developing ballasts that make compact fluorescent bulbs more efficient.

Still others say that the nearly $40 billion paid out by the federal government so far to subsidize corn-based ethanol is a success story; ethanol has displaced more than half a million barrels a day of petroleum. But that benefit must be weighed against whether ethanol has driven up corn prices, along with evidence that it may be worse than oil from a greenhouse gas perspective.

Fueling innovation

initiative’s original research and development scope. Visitors to General Motors outside Detroit could drive a vehicle powered by hydrogen, but the technology was costly, and there was no infrastructure to support the vehicles. They died in development.

Clean coal The “clean coal” movement has been no more successful.

Politicians on both sides of the aisle have sought to put money into efforts that would make coal more appealing by taking its greenhouse emissions and burying them. After a carbon-capture project in Alaska burned through $117 million during the 1990s, Republican lawmakers tried to give the moribund project another $125 million in 2005.

Just this year, the utility AEP, one of the nation’s largest emitters of carbon dioxide, abandoned a pilot project because it was too expensive — even though the Energy Department was willing to kick in $334 million, half the expected cost. A North Dakota project was shelved last December despite a $100 million federal grant.

Bush launched what was supposed to be a $1 billion project to separate carbon dioxide from the emissions of a coal power plant in Illinois and bury the gas underground. Several years later, cost estimates have climbed, the project has been scaled back — and it still hasn’t broken ground.

‘Success’ stories Despite this track record and the recent Solyndra failure, Energy Secretary Chu remains undeterred. Citing examples from Civil War-era railroads to airplanes to semiconductors, he has defended government’s role in funding new technologies and promising companies.

“Americans have always led by looking ahead. Even in the midst of the Civil War, when our country was under incredible stress, we planned for the future,” Chu said in September. “President Lincoln signed the Pacific Railway Act of 1862, which authorized generous public financing for two private companies — Union Pacific Railroad Company and Central Pacific Railroad Company — to lower the investor risk in building railroads in unsettled territories. In 1869, the first Transcontinental Railroad was completed at Promontory Summit, Utah, revolutionizing transport in this country and opening up a world of possibilities for industry.”

Enter Stanford University professor Richard White, a historian of the American West who wrote “Railroaded: The Transcontinentals and the Making of Modern America.”

“I admire Steven Chu a great deal, but his knowledge of the Pacific Railway Act unfortunately appears to be about equal to my knowledge of high-energy physics,” White said in an interview. He said the legislation produced a disaster far larger than the lifeless factory that Solyndra

has left behind.

White said that Union Pacific and Central Pacific became two of the most hated corporations in the West, spawning political opposition wherever they went. Within 10 years of giving them land grants and loan guarantees, the federal government reversed its policy and eventually sued to recover its investment. The litigation dragged on into the 20th century.

Chu has also argued that the government should help ramp up manufacturing. He says that while the internal-combustion engine was invented in Germany, Henry Ford mastered the assembly line and made the United States the world leader in automaking.

However, historians note, Ford did not receive government assistance.

Some experts also question the semiconductor example, in which the government purportedly created an industry through military purchases.

Jack Spencer, a nuclear power and energy expert at the Heritage Foundation, said that the Pentagon supported the semi-

conductor industry because it wanted “to kill people better through innovation, but its goal wasn’t to create commercial enterprises.”

Moreover, he added, if the broader marketplace hasn’t created enough incentives for a new technology such as solar or wind energy to thrive, then loan guarantees or grants will only postpone the death of a company.

But Chu isn’t the only one who thinks the government has a role to play.

Research investments David Eaglesham, chief technology officer at First Solar, a leading maker of thin-film solar panels, says government funding for basic research during the 1990s kept the company alive when it comprised about “10 guys working in Toledo.” He said the Energy Department’s National Renewable Energy Laboratory funded “pretty much everything” when it came to technology, but “at low levels.”

Many policy experts say some of government’s biggest energy investment pay-

Energy innovation is simply different from innovation in other industries, argue Edward Steinfeld and Jason Lee of the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. In electronics and information technology, they note in an unpublished article, the end products are cheap, consumers buy new ones every few months or years, and much of the value is captured by the front-end designer rather than the manufacturer. (Think Apple.)

Energy technologies, however, “are more expensive by several orders of magnitude, and they have much longer life cycles,” they say. “A solar panel is expected to last 20 to 25 years. Moreover, for many of these technologies, including thin-film solar, the key knowledge lies not just in upstream design, but also in learning how to produce inexpensively at high volume.”

Essentially, Steinfeld and Lee conclude, “to pull off energy innovation successfully, you need scale.”

And, of course, you also need to keep innovating. As First Solar’s Eaglesham says, “there’s never the last word in technology.” Doing all this requires massive sums of money — and an acceptance of the inevitability of frequent failure.

That could be a tough sell in Washington, given the downfall of Solyndra and the unsteady status of some other recipients of Energy Department assistance. Massachusetts-based Beacon Power, maker of a nifty and effective — but unprofitable — method of using flywheels for electricity storage, filed for bankruptcy Oct. 30. Ener1, a maker of lithium-ion batteries and a recipient of an Energy Department grant, was delisted

by Nasdaq on Oct. 28 because of its low stock price.

Perhaps the federal government is, as former Obama economic adviser Lawrence Summers put it, “a crappy VC,” or venture capitalist.

Or perhaps it should stick to funding basic research. But if more recipients of Energy Department loan guarantees falter, they will become part of a long, if undistinguished, history of failure.

Deal sites keep popping up • Web-based companies start discount services like Groupon for Central Oregon businesses

By Jordan Novet The Bulletin

Daily deal websites Groupon and LivingSocial have caught the national spotlight, but they’ve virtually ignored Bend and Central Oregon. In the past year, a half-dozen local companies have stepped in and begun offering coupons for restaurants and other businesses.

While the business models vary, deal sites generally partner with companies to sell products, services and packages at discounts sometimes exceeding 50 percent.

The sites split revenues with the companies they work with.

Some experts, at least nationally, question whether the concept will even survive if it doesn’t yield

a financial benefit to the businesses that offer the coupons.

In just a year’s time, the number of options for buying the Web-based coupons for Central Oregon businesses has multiplied.

This time last year, two companies offered such deals: ZingDealz and DoLocalDeals.

SocialEatia, GearTribe and Fox Squad Deals have joined the two.

Another site, DealBend, popped up late last year and this month merged with ZingDealz.

Groupon and LivingSocial have not started offering Central Oregonspecific deals, although LivingSocial is looking for “local marketing consultants” before starting operations in Bend, according to an email from the company.

Google runs an online deal website of its own, and it has been rolling out in American cities. Enter a Bend ZIP code to sign up for local deals, and Google will say it will send offers to you “when we launch in your area,” not if.

Latin economy set to weather global decline

MIAMI — In the past few years, analysts say, you could draw a line at Panama and say that economies north of that imaginary boundary were struggling and those to the south were doing well.

With a few exceptions, one popular analysis still holds up: Countries linked to the faltering U.S. economy, such as Mexico and those in Central America and the Caribbean, have shown slower growth, and commodity-rich countries whose trade is tied to Asia, especially China, have outpaced their northern neighbors.

“The European crisis will end badly, and there will be some impact but not as much” as the old days when a global slowdown would push the region into a downward spiral, said Victor Manuel Rocha, former U.S. ambassador to Bolivia and now a senior international business advisor in the Miami office of Foley & Lardner.

“What happens in China is more important to Brazil than what happens in Europe,” Rocha said.

Latin America also is better prepared to handle an economic storm than it was in 2008.

The

cash-and-carry house • Cash-strapped Americans are becoming homeowners by buying houses that need to be relocated

By Kate Murphy New York Times News Service

T

he house was just $1. The catch?

A delivery charge of nearly $22,000.

Still, Julie and Randy Olson decided it was worth it. In 2007, they had bought 120 acres of farmland in Brook Park, Minn., only to see the value of their property plummet, along with their hopes of ever getting a construction loan to build a house.

And while the 4,200-square-foot wood-frame house they bought for a buck had been slated for demolition, it was solid, Julie Olson said, with “tight pine lumber and tongue-and-groove construction.”

Julie Olson, 45, a game warden for the Minnesota Department of Natural Resources, had heard about the house from a colleague who had listed it for public auction, to make way for a wildlife refuge. And the Olsons, it turned out, were the only bidders.

But they are not the only ones to recognize that what might seem wildly impractical — picking up a house and moving it somewhere else — can, in fact, be the most practical thing to do when money is tight.

In recent years, more cash-strapped Americans have been doing just that: realizing the dream of home ownership on the cheap, by buying land and then hauling in inexpensive (or free) houses that would have otherwise been torn down.

Julio and Maria Gomez run the Doral, Fla.based Innovair Corp., which exports air-conditioning equipment to Latin America. Despite Venezuela’s tattered trade ties, the country remains an important trading partner for the southern Florida business. “They continue to surprise us,” Julio Gomez said. “There’s still a lot of money in the country.”

MERIT BADGES, FOR ADULTS!

Job hunters, boast your credentials via digital badges E-badge prototypes Digital badges, like these, are currently in the prototype stage.

Koren Shadmi New York Times News Service

By Anne Eisenberg New York Times News Service

Cloth and metal badges have long been worn by Boy Scouts, soldiers and others to show off their accomplishments.

Now the John D. and Catherine T. MacArthur Foundation is putting millions of dollars into a competition to spur interest in a new type of badge — one that people can display not on their clothing but on a website, blog or Facebook page while they are looking for a job.

The badges will not replace rèsumès or transcripts, but they may be a convenient supplement, putting the spotlight on skills that do not necessarily show up in traditional documents — highly specialized computer knowledge, say, or skills learned in the military, in online courses or in afterschool programs at museums or libraries.

‘Millionaire Monks’ shutter doors • Wisconsin abbey sells LaserMonks business, disbands

By Annysa Johnson Milwaukee Journal Sentinel

MILWAUKEE — They were dubbed the Millionaire Monks, a small monastic community in rural Wisconsin feted around the world for its wildly successful Internet business selling laser printer inks and toners.

As recently as 2009, the Cistercian Abbey of Our Lady of Spring Bank was projecting annual sales of $3.5 million for its for-profit business, LaserMonks Inc. And their prior and chief executive officer, Father Bernard McCoy, was talking expansion — of both the company and the abbey.

Today, the monks’ 15,000square-foot home on 500 acres in Sparta, Wis., is all but empty. They sold off their belongings — everything from furniture and farm equipment to religious artifacts — at an auction last month. And they have put much of their land and buildings up for sale.

LaserMonks ceased operating in the spring, though the abbey has since sold its name and customer list to a California firm. And the monks have gone their separate ways. McCoy, who was touted as the LaserMonks’ marketing genius, is now in Ireland, overseeing a community of nuns, according to a family member. Both she and the monks’ lawyer said they did not know how to reach him.

Attorney Kevin Roop, of La Crosse, Wis., who represents the abbey, blames increased competition and the downturn in the economy for the liquidation of LaserMonks; and the dissolution of the abbey on the business failure and a dwindling interest in monastic life.

But the monks have a history of failed or attempted business ventures. And now their seemingly sudden change of fortune has raised questions about their business acumen and some say less-than-spartan lifestyle. “It’s very troubling,� said Terry Nelson, of Minneapolis, a former Trappist novice who writes about monastic communities on a blog he calls Abbey Roads. “A year ago he (McCoy) was talking about growing vocations, building a new church. ... And then it’s just gone? How can a monastery just disappear?�

The details are not entirely clear, but one significant factor appears to be the abbey’s debt. Since 2006, the monks have used their property as collateral to secure $3.1 million in mortgages, including a $1.4 million loan from the Valley of Our Lady Inc., a nearby community of Cistercian nuns, according to records on file with the Monroe County Register of Deeds.

The nuns’ superior did not return a telephone call seeking comment. But Bryan Simon-

Stricter rules considered for wine labels

By Michael Doyle McClatchy-Tribune News Service

WASHINGTON — Read the label on that bottle of wine chilling in the fridge. It might get edited, if federal regulators step in.

Wine labels would add new “serving facts,� under one proposal. Major allergens would be listed, under another.

And, in a third proposal that worries major U.S. winemakers in the vineyard-rich state of California, regulators could impose stricter definitions on label terms such as “estate,� “reserve� and “vineyard.�

Makes sense, some say. “‘Estate’ should only be used on bottles if the fruit is in fact grown, produced and cellared on the property it claims,� Arroyo Grande, Calif., resident Jackie Ross said in a comment to the government on the proposal. “It is otherwise misleading to consumers and takes away from the charm of these

hard-working wineries.�

Ross is one of dozens of individuals to weigh in on the label definitions, through comments submitted to the Alcohol and Tobacco Tax and Trade Bureau. The Treasury Department agency first floated the notion of tighter wine label definitions last November.

What they’ll do next, and when, is uncertain. “It’s a trial balloon,� said Wendell Lee, general counsel of the Wine Institute, an advocacy group for the California wine industry, of the label proposal. “They threw this idea out there to see what people were thinking.�

But stricter definitions, Lee noted, are not the only potential changes coming to wine labels, nor are they necessarily the most controversial.

Since at least 2007, federal wine-label regulators have been considering whether to require “serving facts� con-

cerning fat, calories, carbohydrates and protein. This still-pending proposal leaves a sour taste with many. “Consumers already receive adequate information on the identity of wine,� the Family Winemakers of California cautioned in public comments, adding that “extensive and costly laboratory testing and relabeling requirements will undermine industry growth and dampen product innovation.�

Certain label phrases already are closely defined.

An “estate bottled� wine, for instance, must come from grapes crushed and fermented, and juice bottled, all “in a continuous process� on the winery premises.

Regulators, though, do not currently define the standalone term “estate.� It can be used more freely on labels, as can other undefined terms such as “reserve,� “bottle aged� and “select harvest.�

Father Bernard McCoy, right, walks with another man outside the Cistercian Abbey of Our Lady of Spring Bank in Sparta, Wis., in 2009. The abbey and the 40 acres that it sits on are now listed for sale at $2.6 million.

son, vice president of Stoddard, Wis.-based River Bank, which loaned the abbey nearly $1.8 million over that time, said the notes were new loans and refinancings of existing mortgages and lines of credit opened for the monks’ business and living expenses over the years, and that a portion of the debt has been paid.

Simonson and Roop declined to say how much the abbey still owes. But the banker said the monks have never defaulted on a loan and that he doesn’t expect them to do so now. “I hold the abbey in the highest regard,� Simonson said. “They have a very viable exit strategy, and we do not expect to incur any losses.�

The shuttering of the abbey appears to be the end of a nearly century-old com-

munity of monks, founded on the shores of Oconomowoc Lake, that moved to Sparta in the 1980s to better fulfill their lives of prayer and contemplation, according to a news story at the time. The new abbey, now listed for sale at $2.6 million, was built to accommodate nearly 20 monks.

The abbey struck what many saw as black gold, bringing in as much as $4.5 million a year by 2008 with marketing that stressed the monks’ simple life of prayer and a promise to give a portion of the profits to charity. At one point, McCoy said it was giving $125,000 a year to charitable causes.

McCoy also repeatedly identified himself as founder or executive director the Torchlight Foundation, which has been called a nonprofit organization to benefit the abbey’s ALWAYS STIRRING UP SOMETHING GOOD Serving Central Oregon Since 1975

charitable interests and a program to finance curricula that teaches youths about social entrepreneurism. Neither the state of Wisconsin nor the Internal Revenue Service lists an organization by that name as a nonprofit or tax-exempt entity. However, it could be registered as a nonprofit in another state.

Just when the business began to falter is not clear. Caniglia, who with Griffith now operates an online popcorn business for a Tucson, Ariz., order of Benedictine nuns, said LaserMonks was profitable when they left about nine months ago. Holly Grady, executive director of the Sparta Area Chamber of Commerce, said that the company struggled for the past two years, but that McCoy was optimistic about its future as recently as January. She was surprised, she said, when the business closed last spring.

One former postulant of the abbey, who asked not to be identified because it would hurt his placement with another community, blamed its demise on a “life out of balance.� “The Benedictine way is all about balance. But this had become too many outside trips, late-night outings and dinners with benefactors,� he said. “People believed they had millions in the bank, but I think they were robbing Peter to pay Paul.�

SUNDAY, NOVEMBER 27, 2011 • THE BULLETIN

Moving Continued from G1 Many of these houses come from used-house lots, the domestic equivalent of used-car lots, where one can choose from a surprisingly wide range of styles, whether quaint shingled cottages or multistory houses.

There are no hard figures on how many homes are acquired this way, but while sales of stationary houses have been declining, sales of the peripatetic variety appear to be increasing.

Owners of used-house lots, particularly in the Pacific Northwest, on the Gulf and East coasts and in the Upper Midwest, said their sales had increased as much as 60 percent over the last three years.

Warren Davie, the owner of Davie Shoring, a structural mover with a used-house lot in Kenner, La., outside of New Orleans, said his business has increased 50 percent since 2008.

“It seems like we’re even busier when the economy is bad,” Davie said. “People are looking for a way to save on demolition and dump fees on one end and save on building costs on the other end.”

Depending on a home’s size, its condition and how far it has to be moved, the cost can range from $15,000 to $60,000.

That’s about 40 to 60 percent of what it would cost to build the same structure from scratch, said Joshua Wendland, president of Milbank House Movers Inc., in Milbank, S.D., which sells and transports houses within a 500-mile radius. For the last three years, Wendland said, his business has increased

Groupon Continued from G1 The founders of ZingDealz and DoLocalDeals, the first two deal sites to start operating in Bend, said that when they launched last year, people flocked in great numbers to sign up for daily emails.

Going forward, however, the market segment might struggle to grow further, as consumer demand and business interest change.

Matthew Hall, owner of DoLocalDeals, said businesses have come back for more after running a deal on his site.

“When you break it down, … at our rates, what we charge, it’s actually a very effective form of advertising,” he said.

Hall said his business has been profitable almost from its beginning in November 2010.

He said his company strives to be a “business advocate,” rather than attempt to set up a deal that puts a company at a disadvantage.

“One of the things we try and do is … we don’t want to rerun (companies’ deals) too frequently,” Hall said. “It starts to degrade their image if they’re rerun so many times.”

The happy medium is usually once per quarter for any given business, Hall said.

In September, Michael Bolling, who started ZingDealz in September 2010, rolled out a new approach he called Zing 2.0, which provides lower discounts to consumers and a loyalty program.

The idea is to be more sustainable from the perspective of businesses ZingDealz partners with. The approach takes less money from businesses and encourages consumers to go back again and again, Bolling said.

Groupon and other companies that sell half-price deals, he said, have enabled “this culture of spoiled customers” who are unfazed by, for example, a 25-percent-off deal.

Bolling’s model could take

William Widmer / New York Times News Service

Workers with the Davie Shoring company, which sells and transports houses, moves a house to a new location in Ponchatoula, La. Sara Jorde / New York Times News Service

Randy and Julie Olson stand in front of the home they purchased for $1. They had it delivered to their property in Brook Park, Minn., for nearly $22,000.

Buyers include developers who want the houses for rental income while they wait for financing to build larger projects and farmers flush with cash from high crop prices, who are upgrading their residences or providing housing for laborers.

Natural-gas companies are also buying houses for workers who can’t find lodging in sparsely populated drilling regions like North and South Dakota.

But Davie, who is on the board of the International Association of Structural Movers, the industry’s trade group, said most buyers were “hardworking people who don’t want to go into serious debt to own a home and are willing to put a little sweat equity into

the project.”

The Olsons fit that profile.

In addition to the $21,500 they paid to move their house 30 miles, they plan to spend another $100,000 renovating it themselves.

“It’s hard work, but it’s going to be beautiful,” said Randy Olson, 48, a cattle farmer.

Cheryl Moore, 52, and her husband, Kenneth, 48, of Houston are also rolling up their sleeves. The couple, quality assurance employees at an oil-rig services company, have been working on a 1,200square-foot Victorian-style house since August, when they moved it 130 miles from Houston to their property in Nacogdoches, Texas Cheryl Moore found the house on the website of a local structural mover who got it from a developer who had wanted to tear it down to build a snow-cone stand. The cost,

some adjustment for shoppers.

“Eventually, customers are going to have to come around to the fact that 50 percent is great, but it’s not going to be around forever,” he said.

“You’re going to do it once, maybe twice. It’s never going to be a monthly thing.”

Bolling believes still more deal sites will crop up. But over time, as people grow less interested in paying in advance for deals, the market will probably narrow down to one or two sites offering daily deals, he said.

The deal-site company GearTribe sees room for sustainability and a unique identity by focusing on just one market, outdoor goods and services, said Gale Evans, the company’s vice president of marketing.

The site started running deals in Bend and other American regions in August. Those outside the targeted geographical regions can find and buy different deals on the website, too.

The company SocialEatia also strives to keep a distinct identity, although it’s not purely a deal site. The site, socialeatia.com, popped up earlier this year to manage restaurants’ Facebook and Twitter messages and post them on its own website, too. In the past few months, though, SocialEatia has been experimenting with deals, said Evan Julber, SocialEatia’s CEO. On Friday his company was offering two coupons for Pisano’s Pizza in Bend.

Despite the expansion of the deal-site concept in Bend, it’s unclear if the business model will continue to grow. Groupon itself has its doubts. “… This is a new market which we only created in late 2008 and which has operated at a substantial scale for only a limited period of time,” the company wrote in a document it filed this month with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission.

“Given the limited history, it is difficult to predict whether

this market will continue to grow or whether it can be maintained.”

And not every industry has been receptive to the concept.

Earlier this year, the Oregon Board of Chiropractic Examiners considered changing a rule to allow its licensees to split fees, which would allow Groupon-type arrangements.

Splitting fees amounts to unprofessional conduct, according to the Oregon Administrative Rules.

In July, the board declined to change the rule. Portland chiropractor Arnold Strasser testified against the change before the board, saying, “In my opinion, offering discounted services in a fee-splitting arrangement with companies such as Groupon undermines our credibility,” according to a board news release.

Still, several businesses of other types in Bend have run at least one deal campaign; among the clients are restaurants, hair salons, spas and at least one dentist.

Some business owners locally — and nationally — have run deals and later decided they didn’t come out ahead.

Giving a half-off discount might bring in many new customers, but business owners might never see those customers again, and relinquishing more than half of the usual revenue might not always be a wise move.

Between June 2009 and August 2010, a management professor at Rice University in Houston, Utpal Dholakia, surveyed 150 businesses that had run Groupon deals and found that 32 percent lost money.

In Bend, David Friedman, publisher of the direct-mail advertising booklet Smart Shopper, agrees with the idea that the segment doing business in Bend will shrink. One — whichever has the most subscribers — will win out in the end, he said.

Meanwhile, Friedman said his business continues to be profitable — unlike, for example, Groupon, which has never

about 15 percent annually.

These days, he added, “If the weather is good, we move up to six houses a week.”

Who’s moving houses?

with shipping, was $47,500.

She and her husband plan to invest another $100,000 to put on a new roof and add two bedrooms and 2½ bathrooms, work they will do themselves to save money.

“It’s a great deal,” she said, “considering to build a house like this would cost us around $500,000.”

Moving a house is, in theory, relatively simple.

If it is on a pier-and-beam foundation, structural movers slide steel beams under the ground floor to lift it; if the house is on a concrete slab, the mover uses a jackhammer to create tunnels where support beams can be inserted.

Then the house is raised on jacks, dollies are maneuvered beneath it, and the beams supporting the house are lowered onto the dollies, which have an integrated hydraulic suspension system that adjusts to the road, so that no part of the house is unduly stressed on the way.

“The equipment has improved by leaps and bounds

in the past three to five years,” said Keith Settle, president of Northwest Structural Moving, in the Portland area, which has seen its business increase 25 percent annually since 2007.

Last year, Settle invested $250,000 in a system that uses self-propelled dollies, instead of the kind that are hitched to a trailer truck. It operates by remote control, so he can walk alongside a house while it’s being moved, making adjustments as it travels over uneven terrain.

Inevitably, it’s a process that prompts spectators to reach for their cellphones to snap pictures. But as Edgar Dodson, secretary and treasurer of Dodson House Moving, in San Antonio, noted, “We move along at about 15 to 20 mph, so they’ve got to take the picture pretty quick.”

When it’s your own house, the sight can be disconcerting.

“It’s kind of freaky to watch your house coming down the road,” said Steve Moon, 41, a lieutenant with the fire department in Cannon Beach.

ended a year with a profit since its start in 2008, according to SEC documents.

Julber, of SocialEatia, said he and his colleagues have also seen Groupon’s financials.

“Groupon is not profitable,” he said. “So I think … the success of that marketing model of vouchers is still unknown.”

Friedman doubts the dealsite concept is the best deal for companies.

“I see the whole concept as nonsustainable, and in my view it’s not a good marketing tool for businesses,” he said.

G3

Moon paid $25,000 to move a two-story house 10 blocks, and $10,000 of that, he said, “was to deal with the wires.”

(Utilities charge hefty fees to lower or raise their wires so a house can pass.)

But the house itself, a solid cedar A-frame structure he now rents out, was free. It came to him serendipitously last year. The owners called his unit to do a so-called controlled-burn demolition, so they could build something new, and he offered to take it off their hands.

“When I saw it,” he said, “I was like, ‘Holy cow, there’s nothing wrong with this place.’”

Jennifer Davis, 38, a mediator in Everett, Wash., and her husband, Craig, a policeman, also 38, bought a 1,500square-foot cottage in 2008 as a vacation home for a quarter-acre they owned on Hat Island. The local structural mover who sold the house to them charged $65,000, which included transporting it by barge across Puget Sound and then building a short bridge to span the last 100 yards, where the water was too shallow for the barge to pass.

Despite the obstacles, the damage caused by the move was limited to a few easy-torepair hairline cracks. And Jennifer Davis estimates that they saved about 40 percent of what it would have cost to build a house.

But the best part, she said, is “it’s a 1950s rambler with all kinds of details, like scalloped trim in the kitchen and a wonderful pink bathroom, that you don’t find in new construction.”

And “we saved it from a landfill.”

G5

Here’s a look at how three important Latin American trading partners are expected to fare

Continued from G1 “This time around, China itself looks more likely to suffer a significant slowdown,” with its own debt and manufacturing bottlenecks as contributing factors, said Lord Mark Malloch-Brown, former British minister of state and chairman of the global affairs practice at FTI Consulting.

Economic problems in the United States and Europe may be as profound as 2008, he said. “It’s a much more tricky and difficult global situation.”

But offsetting that, MallochBrown said, is the “tremendous addition of domestic demand” in Latin America.

With more people entering the middle class and increasing consumption, Latin economies have more of a cushion to sustain themselves during a rough patch.

Indeed, purveyors of luxury goods have found a favorable market in recent years.

Miami-based Porsche Latin America, which has 42 dealerships that cover 26 countries, is expanding and has seen substantial growth this year in its three biggest markets: Brazil, Mexico and Chile.

Porsche expects to add four or five dealerships in the region in 2012, said Matthias Brueck, chief executive of the regional office. It also will enter the Honduran market this year and Bolivia next year.

But that doesn’t mean there aren’t problems in some countries from escalating inflation to investor jitters to rampant violence by drug cartels in the case of Mexico.

Malloch-Brown said it is

Badges Continued from G1 “The badges can give kids credit for the extraordinary things they are learning outside of school,” as well as being a symbol of lifelong learning for adults, said Connie Yowell, director of education grant-making at the MacArthur Foundation in Chicago.

Prospective employers could click on an e-badge awarded for prowess in Javascript, for example, and see detailed supporting information, including who issued the badge, the criteria and even samples of the work that led to the award.

“The badges are another way to tell the story of who you are and what you know,” Yowell said.

“What people are learning in school is often not connected to the world of work,” she said. “Badges can fill that gap.

They can be a kind of glue to connect informal and formal learning in and out of school.”

If valued, they might also inspire students to accomplish new tasks.

To create prototypes of these alternative credentials, MacArthur has started a “Badges for Lifelong Learning” competition that will culminate in March, when the foundation will award a total

COLOMBIA Colombia is expected to see a record level of exports and foreign direct investment this year as the nation continues to burnish its image as an increasingly safe and strategic place to do business.

The free trade agreement with the U.S. alone is expected to boost annual revenue by $30 billion a year and create 300,000 new jobs in this Andean nation, as tariffs on more than 80 percent of all exports and imports between the two nations are phased out.

Colombia’s exports to Europe have always been minimal — about 3 percent — so it’s not expecting to get hit by the crisis.

But there could be side effects. “The European crisis affects the whole world, and it could have a big impact in the United States by hampering its recovery,” said Carlos Eduardo Botero, president of Inexmoda, an industry association that studies Colombian textile and fashion exports.

Colombia’s fashion and textile exports grew

15 percent last year and represent 10 percent of all manufactured exports, 20 percent of all employment and 5 percent of all exports, Botero said.

But as Colombia’s peso has appreciated almost 40 percent in the past five years and labor costs have increased, the country is losing its ability to compete on price alone, he said.

Brazil is being flooded by inexpensive Chinese exports. Colombia has seen a steady stream of cheap Chinese clothing, Botero said. About 30 percent of all textiles and clothes sold inside the country are Chinese contraband that often comes in through Panama, he said. “The government needs more controls.”

Ronald Bakalarz, the chairman of Stanton, Colombia’s largest shoe manufacturer, is also feeling the impact of Chinese competition.

While a Colombian laborer might cost about $500 a month, China labor costs can be as low as $80 to $120 a month.

government has labored to keep inflation in check.

Inflation reached a sixyear high of 7.31 percent in September.

It’s been something of a balancing act for Brazil, too. While the strong real is inspiring Brazilians to make shopping pilgrimages abroad — including to the U.S. — it also makes Brazilian manufactured exports less competitive on the world market.

China’s huge appetite for Brazilian iron ore and soybeans helped push Brazil’s exports to China to nearly $31 billion in 2010 but commodities and basic products represented 84 percent of what China bought from Brazil.

“Brazil for all its difficulties, though its sheer size and firepower, will continue to do well,” said Lord Mark MallochBrown, former prime minister of state and chairman of the global affairs practice at FTI Consulting.

BRAZIL Brazil continues to be Latin America’s darling, with vast mineral wealth, food crops that feed hungry Asians, a growing middle class and recent deep-water oil discoveries. The upcoming 2014 World Cup and 2016 Olympics have spurred a slew of infrastructure projects.

Last month, nearly 200 Floridians participated in a trade mission to Brazil organized by Enterprise Florida and led by Gov. Rick Scott. President Barack Obama’s March trip to Brazil also highlighted the growing economic importance of Latin America’s largest economy and the need to give it more attention. China shot past the United States as Brazil’s main trading partner in 2009, occupying a position the U.S. had held since the 1930s.

But after brisk growth in 2010, some economists now peg Brazil’s economic growth for 2011 at 3.2 percent, and the

VENEZUELA As Venezuela gears up for presidential elections in October 2012, the state is ramping up public spending in what should be a defacto stimulus for the private sector. The government’s centerpiece is a program to build more than 135,000 homes by the end of next year. It claims 25 percent of the construction has been carried out by the private sector.

Venezuela’s Central Bank also says the country is on target to see growth of 5 percent and inflation of about 20 to 22 percent.

But many in the nation of 27.6 million say government control over and meddling in the private sector is spooking investors and making it hard for companies to survive. Fedecamaras, the nation’s largest business group, says government price controls have led to a scarcity of raw materials for the construction sector. It predicts the country will likely fall short of its building goals.

The new “Fair Price” law, in theory, will allow a government board to determine a

company’s cost structure, sales price and profit margin, said Jorge Roig, Fedecamaras’ first vice president.

“While it may provide the illusion of price controls,” he said, “the economy is going to impose itself. The pent-up costs will lead to more scarcity of products and rationing, and that has to be one of the government’s biggest fears during an election year.”

Venezuelan Vice President Elias Jaua said the law is “fundamental to protect workers’ purchasing power” and keep the private sector from trying to “blackmail” consumers.

With all the internal problems, the private sector has not been too focused on its ability to compete in the region or abroad, Roig said.

“We have our own crisis, which makes the European crisis almost irrelevant to us,” he said.

Even so, he said, the government has ruined the relationship with the nation’s two biggest trading partners: The United States and Colombia. China has displaced Colombia as the No. 2 trading partner.

possible trade and investment will pick up in Mexico in 2012 — “if there is some quieting of the level of insecurity and violence.”

Argentina seems to be a study in contradictions. Despite economic growth that is expected to be among the

highest in Latin America this year and President Cristina Fernandez de Kirchner’s overwhelming victory in last month’s election, analysts aren’t particularly sanguine about the Argentine economy.

While Fernandez recently raised the minimum wage

by 25 percent and increased welfare payouts, Argentina hasn’t made payments on its foreign debt since it defaulted in 2001.

It also faces mounting inflation, steady capital flight and a widening budget deficit. “I think we’re seeing the begin-

ning of a major economic crisis in Argentina,” Rocha said.

The United Nations’ Economic Commission for Latin America and the Caribbean is now predicting economic growth of 4.4 percent for the region this year, down from an earlier estimate of 4.7 per-

cent. It predicted in late summer that the value of regional exports would grow by 27 percent. Despite global uncertainty, Rocha said, “Latin America is about to experience the best decade (2010-19) in 50 years.

Why? The game is now in the emerging economies.”

of $2 million to several dozen winners, Yowell said.

In addition, the federal departments of Education and Veterans Affairs will jointly award $25,000 for the best badge concept and prototype that serves veterans seeking jobs.

In preparation for the contest, MacArthur has also given $1 million to the nonprofit Mozilla Foundation to develop a common standard or protocol for the badges.

Developers will use this protocol so that their badges will work across the Web on various platforms, no matter which organization is awarding them, just as email works across the Internet regardless of the particular program used, said Mark Surman, executive director of the Mozilla Foundation in Mountain View, Calif.

“People will be able to take courses at a dozen places, and then put the badges from these different places on their website,” he said.

The badges can be verified in several ways. For instance, a badge can include a verification link that makes it possible to check with the issuer about authenticity and status, should the badge have an expiration date.

The Mozilla Foundation supports the development of free software that can be used throughout the Web. It

owns Mozilla Corp., creator of Firefox, the open source Internet browser.

Surman’s group tested an early version of the badge system this spring at the School of Webcraft at Peer to Peer University, an online school offering free courses organized by peers, said Erin Knight, who works on the badge project for the Mozilla Foundation.

Students in the pilot program were awarded badges in Javascript, HTML, teamwork, collaboration and other areas.

Many organizations, including NASA, Intel and the Corporation for Public Broadcasting, are collaborating with MacArthur in the competition, providing information about their programs and activities that could be the basis for badge awards, said Cathy Davidson, a professor at Duke University and co-administra-

tor of the competition.

NASA, for example, has educational programs in robotics for young people that might be suitable content for badges.

Designers have until Jan. 12 to submit their ideas for badge prototypes. Design winners will be paired with content providers to compete for the final awards, Davidson said.

Independent of the MacArthur contest, one company, TopCoder, in Glastonbury, Conn., has been awarding its own version of digital badges for several years. It holds online programming competitions that offer cash rewards, said Mike Lydon, its chief technology officer. Many of the programs become commercial products that are sold or licensed to customers like IBM. TopCoder competitors who do not win cash awards can still obtain a useful credential,

Lydon said — a digital emblem that, when clicked on, gives statistics about their prowess relative to others. Competitors use screen names that let them preserve their anonymity but also share scores with prospective employers when the scores are ones they are proud of.

It is an extremely helpful badge to include in job searches, Lydon said.

“Rather than saying ‘look me up,’” he said, “people have this transportable widget at their website.”

Veloster a great car prone to bad first impressions

Power steering issues originate in column

By Paul Brand (Minneapolis) Star Tribune

We have a 2008 Chevrolet Malibu with Q : a four-cylinder engine and

By Warren Brown Special to The Washington Post

First impressions can be horribly wrong. I thought the 2012 Hyundai Veloster was the silliest subcompact hatchback I had ever seen or driven. It looked like a hot sports car but drove like something considerably less. The driver’s side, with one long entry door, gave the impression of a coupe. The passenger side had a coupe-like appearance, too.

But take a closer look.

There is a hidden rear side door on the passenger side, a stealth door that easily accommodates two full-size adult bodies, assuming they find the exterior handle, sneakily installed in the door’s top-left corner.

And then there was the name, “Veloster,” which sounded like something composed by a grade-schooler REVIEW not at all interested in poetry. But deeper research yielded information that it was thought up by a Hyundai marketing team, a name aimed at youthful consumers skilled in Twitter literacy, a combination of “velocity” and “roadster.”

What about velocity? With a 1.6-liter gasoline-direct-injection four-cylinder engine (138 horsepower, 123 foot-pounds of torque), the Veloster has relatively little, certainly less than its slick pocket-rocket styling would imply.

Is it a roadster? You might think so if you’ve never driven a roadster. But no, it’s not that, either.

Simply put, the front-wheeldrive Veloster is what it is: a hatchback, perhaps one of the hottest, best-looking, most practical, common-sense hatchbacks ever built. It is the motorized equivalent of a beautiful woman, or a handsome man, who gets where she or he is going on looks until everyone realizes that she or he actually has brains.

It’s a pity. First impressions often are last impressions, especially when people are being

automatic transmission, and less than 35,000 miles. Two months ago, the intermediate steering shaft was replaced because of a noise under the car. A few days later, the steering wheel would turn quickly to the right and I would have to turn it quickly to the left before it would go back to center.

I took it back to the garage, and they adjusted or reset a sensor. On the way home after leaving the garage, it did the same thing. Was there a recall for this problem?

I believe your vehicle is fitted with electronic power steering. The system incorporates a position sensor, torque sensor, motor and

Hyundai

The 2012 Hyundai Veloster is perhaps one of the hottest, best-looking, most practical, commonsense hatchbacks ever built.

2012 Hyundai Veloster Base price: $17,300 As tested: $22,300 Type: Front-engine, frontwheel-drive hatchback with three doors.

Engine: 16-valve gasolinedirect-injection 1.6-liter four-cylinder engine with variable valve timing. A six-speed manual gearbox is standard; a six-speed automatic that also can be operated manually is optional.

Mileage: Manual gets 28 mpg city, 40 mpg highway

asked to part with money, in this case a base price of $17,300.

Most “be-backs,” in automotive retail parlance, tend not to come back.

Getting to know and truly value the Veloster requires getting beneath its hot looks and Twitter-type name. It is epiphany as gradualism, which can be frustrating because it takes time.

Consider those two passenger-side doors. I offered three friends a ride. The first one jumped into the front passenger seat, as is her wont. The other two, not amused by the first passenger’s obvious sense of entitlement, ordered her to get out “so that we can at least push the front seat forward and get into the back.”

To which the front passenger replied, without budging: “You don’t have to do that. Use the rear door.”

There followed a flurry of increasingly ill-tempered questions from the would-be rear passengers: “What back door?” “Where’s the (expletive) handle?” “How the (expletive) do I use this thing?”

With civil explanations — from me, because the front passenger had stopped talking — the rear door was opened and the irate rear-seat guests got in and calmed down. One said a few miles into our drive: “Hey, this is cool. There’s good room back here. It’s really nice.”

To which the front-seat rider pointedly said nothing.

To which the other rear-

seat passenger uttered an icy “Yeah.”

No one talked much until, shortly before I dropped the rear-seat couple at their destination, one of them queried: “I thought this thing was a sports car? Why does it drive like an economy car?”

“Because it is an economy car,” I said. “It has a tiny fourcylinder engine. But it’s zippy for what it is.”

There was a grunt in response. The rear-seat couple disembarked a few blocks later.

The front-seat passenger maintained her icy silence, opening her mouth only to dismiss the former back-seat couple with a single nasty word.

I now understand the Veloster. Sex sells, even when you are trying to sell a hatchback.

The Veloster is sexy. It’s also very practical in terms of rearseat passenger ingress and egress, and in terms of cargo capacity.

What confuses me is the collective notion of people: three friends one minute, one enemy vs. two friends the next, bound by a kind of icy detente in their remaining moments together.

Sales of midsize cars shrink as buyers go smaller The Associated Press DETROIT — You can’t drive far in the U.S. without seeing a Toyota Camry, Honda Accord or Ford Fusion.

Midsize sedans have been America’s favorite cars for decades. That’s changing. More people are choosing small cars like the Chevrolet Cruze and even smaller ones like the Honda Fit because they’re worried about gas prices and car payments. There’s another reason, too: Small cars are no longer the cramped econoboxes of the 1980s and 1990s, and

they have many of the same features as larger cars.

Compact cars will outsell midsize ones as early as this year, forecasts J.D. Power and Associates, a marketing information firm. That hasn’t happened in at least two decades.

Just five years ago, automakers sold nearly 250,000 more midsize cars than compact cars in the U.S. Gas was cheaper then, and automakers had fewer small models to sell.

But by 2015, J.D. Power expects compact and subcompact cars to command 20 percent of

sales, while midsize cars will account for just 14 percent.

This fall, Toyota released a new version that increases fuel economy to 35 miles per gallon and sells for even less than the old model. But it’s facing tough competition from smaller cars such as the Hyundai Elantra, which gets 40 mpg and costs $5,000 less. Elantra sales surged 46 percent to 161,000 through October, while Camry sales fell 9 percent to 251,000.

One reason companies are racing to improve their small car offerings is an upcoming

increase in fuel efficiency standards. Carmakers have agreed to double the average fuel economy of their fleets to 54.5 miles per gallon by 2025. Companies will have to meet that goal with more efficient gas engines, hybrid technology and other methods. But they’ll also meet it by selling more small cars.

power control module. In short, the two sensors monitor position, direction and amount of torque applied to turn the steering wheel and electronically command the motor to provide the appropriate amount of assist.

The first step in diagnosing any power steering problem would be GM’s scan tool to check for fault codes relating to the power steering. My database pulled up a service bulletin addressing a loss of power steering assist due to electrical issues in the steering column assembly. This bulletin, number 10183 and dated July 2010, extends coverage on this problem for a total of 10 years or 100,000 miles.

Q: Has Jennifer Nettles been approached to play Janis Joplin in a biopic?

Five, including English. “I can get by in Spanish, Italian, Russian, and Swahili,” says the Jeopardy! host, 71. “But don’t expect much in Hawaiian and Welsh.”

She’s such a legendary character!” Next up, Nettles returns as host of the CMA Country Christmas

“The tree, food cooking, mulled wine, cinnamon.”

What’s your favorite meal from childhood?

I grew up Italian-American in New Jersey, and we made Sunday gravy—what most people would call marinara sauce—with meatballs and sausage.

I have to place all the adulation and admiration on a scale, and on the other side put all those who have been hating me for many years.

Yes. Things like that have happened. Perfumed notes.

Q: My brother gave me a gift that seemed familiar … then it dawned on me: I had given him that very present last year. I was so upset. Is it ever okay to regift?

ILLUSTRATION: GRAFILU

—Penny G., Los Angeles

A: Your brother made a mortifying faux pas, but his intentions were good, and he clearly thought this was something you’d want. (You probably did, if you liked it enough to give to someone, right?) As a general rule, though, there’s nothing wrong with regifting.

“I’m 100 percent for regifting, as long as you follow certain rules,” says Patricia Rossi, author of Everyday Etiquette: How to Navigate 101 Common and Uncommon Social Situations.

“Always rewrap the gift beautifully and add a new card.

Remove any tags that could indicate you received it as a present. Never regift in the same social circle. If you received something from a coworker, regift to someone you don’t work with. Don’t pass on anything that looks even remotely used. And make sure it’s something the recipient will actually like.” I’d add a final rule: Check the value of the item.

Important Safety Information About PRISTIQ Suicidality and Antidepressant Drugs Antidepressants increased the risk compared to placebo of suicidal thinking and behavior (suicidality) in children, teens, and young adults.

Depression and certain other psychiatric disorders are themselves associated with increases in the risk of suicide. Patients of all ages who are started on antidepressant therapy or when the dose is changed should be monitored appropriately and observed closely for clinical worsening, suicidality, or unusual changes in behavior such as becoming agitated, irritable, hostile, aggressive, impulsive, or restless. Should these occur, report them to a doctor. PRISTIQ is not approved for use in children under 18.

People taking MAOIs should not take PRISTIQ. Tell your healthcare professional about all prescription and over-the-counter medications you are taking or plan to take, including: medicines to treat migraines or psychiatric disorders, to avoid a potentially life-threatening condition; and aspirin, NSAID pain relievers, or blood thinners because they may increase the risk of bleeding.

PRISTIQ may cause or make some conditions worse, so tell your healthcare professional about all your medical conditions, including: • High blood pressure, which should be controlled before you start taking PRISTIQ and monitored regularly • Heart problems, high cholesterol or triglyceride levels or a history of stroke, glaucoma or increased eye pressure, kidney or liver problems, low sodium levels in your blood • Have or had bleeding problems • Have or had depression, suicidal thoughts or behavior • Mania, bipolar disorder, or seizures or convulsions • If nursing, pregnant, or plan to become pregnant Discontinuation symptoms may occur when stopping or reducing PRISTIQ, so talk to your healthcare professional before stopping or changing your dose of PRISTIQ. Until you see how PRISTIQ affects you, be careful driving a car or operating machinery. Avoid drinking alcohol while taking PRISTIQ. Side effects when taking PRISTIQ 50 mg may include nausea, dizziness, sweating, constipation, and decreased appetite.

1. Antidepressant medicines may increase suicidal thoughts or actions in some children, teenagers, and young adults within the first few months of treatment.

2. Depression and other serious mental illnesses are the most important causes of suicidal thoughts and actions. Some people may have a particularly high risk of having suicidal thoughts or actions. These include people who have (or have a family history of) bipolar illness (also called manic-depressive illness) or suicidal thoughts or actions.

3. How can I watch for and try to prevent suicidal thoughts and actions in myself or a family member?

• Pay close attention to any changes, especially sudden changes, in mood, behaviors, thoughts, or feelings. This is very important when an antidepressant medicine is started or when the dose is changed.

• Call the healthcare provider right away to report new or sudden changes in mood, behavior, thoughts, or feelings.

• Keep all follow-up visits with the healthcare provider as scheduled. Call the healthcare provider between visits as needed, especially if you have concerns about symptoms.

Call a healthcare provider right away if you or your family member has any of the following symptoms, especially if they are new, worse, or worry you: • acting on dangerous impulses • thoughts about suicide or dying • feeling very agitated or restless • trouble sleeping (insomnia) • an extreme increase in activity and talking • attempts to commit suicide (mania) • new or worse depression • acting aggressive, being angry or violent • panic attacks • other unusual changes in behavior or mood • new or worse anxiety What else do I need to know about antidepressant medicines?

• Never stop an antidepressant medicine without first talking to a healthcare provider.

Stopping an antidepressant medicine suddenly can cause other symptoms.

• Antidepressants are medicines used to treat depression and other illnesses. It is important to discuss all the risks of treating depression and also the risks of not treating it. Patients and their families or other caregivers should discuss all treatment choices with the healthcare provider, not just the use of antidepressants.

• Antidepressant medicines have other side effects. Talk to the healthcare provider about the side effects of the medicine prescribed for you or your family member.

• Antidepressant medicines can interact with other medicines. Know all of the medicines that you or your family member takes. Keep a list of all medicines to show the healthcare provider. Do not start new medicines without first checking with your healthcare provider.

• Not all antidepressant medicines prescribed for children are FDA approved for use in children. Talk to your child’s healthcare provider for more information.

Important Information about Pristiq Read the patient information that comes with Pristiq before you take Pristiq and each time you refill your prescription. There may be new information. If you have questions, ask your healthcare provider. This information does not take the place of talking with your healthcare provider about your medical condition or treatment.

What is Pristiq?

• Pristiq is a prescription medicine used to treat depression. Pristiq belongs to a class of medicines known as SNRIs (or serotonin-norepinephrine reuptake inhibitors).

• Pristiq is not approved for use in children and adolescents.

Who should not take Pristiq?

Do not take Pristiq if you: • are allergic to desvenlafaxine, venlafaxine or any of the ingredients in Pristiq.

• currently take, or have taken within the last 14 days, any medicine known as an MAOI. Taking an MAOI with certain other medicines, including Pristiq, can cause serious or even life-threatening side effects. Also, you must wait at least 7 days after you stop taking Pristiq before you take any MAOI. What should I tell my healthcare provider before taking Pristiq?

Tell your healthcare provider about all your medical conditions, including if you: • have high blood pressure • have or had seizures or convulsions • have heart problems • have mania or bipolar disorder • have high cholesterol or high triglycerides • have low sodium levels in your blood • history of stroke • are pregnant or plan to become pregnant.

• have glaucoma • are breastfeeding. Pristiq can pass into your • have kidney problems breast milk and may harm your baby. Talk • have liver problems with your healthcare provider about the best • have or had bleeding problems way to feed your baby if you take Pristiq.

Serotonin syndrome or neuroleptic malignant syndrome (NMS)-like reactions Rare, but potentially life-threatening, conditions called serotonin syndrome or Neuroleptic Malignant Syndrome (NMS)-like reactions can happen when medicines such as Pristiq are taken with certain other medicines. Serotonin syndrome or NMS-like reactions can cause serious changes in how your brain, muscles, heart and blood vessels, and digestive system work.

Especially tell your healthcare provider if you take the following: • medicines to treat migraine headaches known as triptans Based on PI LAB-045230 PQP00597C

© 2011 Pfizer Inc. All rights reserved.

• St. John’s Wort psychotic, or thought disorders, including • MAOIs (including linezolid, tricyclics, lithium, selective serotonin an antibiotic) reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs), or serotonin • tryptophan supplements norepinephrine reuptake inhibitors • silbutramine (SNRIs), antipsychotic drugs, or other • tramadol dopamine antagonists, such as • medicines used to treat mood, anxiety, metoclopramide Ask your healthcare provider if you are not sure whether you are taking any of these medicines. Before you take Pristiq with any of these medicines, talk to your healthcare provider about serotonin syndrome. See “What are the possible side effects of Pristiq?”

Pristiq contains the medicine desvenlafaxine. Do not take Pristiq with other medicines containing venlafaxine or desvenlafaxine.

Switching from other antidepressants Side effects from discontinuing antidepressant medication have occurred when patients switched from other antidepressants, including venlafaxine, to Pristiq. Your doctor may gradually reduce the dose of your initial antidepressant medication to help reduce these side effects.

What should I avoid while taking Pristiq?

• Do not drive a car or operate machinery until you know how Pristiq affects you.

• Avoid drinking alcohol while taking Pristiq.

What are the possible side effects of Pristiq?

Pristiq can cause serious side effects, including: • See the beginning of this page.

• Serotonin syndrome or neuroleptic malignant syndrome (NMS)-like reactions. See “What should I tell my healthcare provider before taking Pristiq?”

Your healthcare provider should monitor your blood pressure before and while you are taking Pristiq. If you have high blood pressure, it should be controlled before you start taking Pristiq.

• Abnormal bleeding or bruising. Pristiq and other SNRIs/SSRIs may cause you to have an increased chance of bleeding. Taking aspirin, NSAIDs (non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs), or blood thinners may add to this risk. Tell your healthcare provider right away about any unusual bleeding or bruising.

• Glaucoma (increased eye pressure) • Increased cholesterol and triglyceride levels in your blood • Symptoms when stopping Pristiq (discontinuation symptoms).

Symptoms of this may include headache, difficulty concentrating, memory changes, confusion, weakness, and unsteadiness on your feet.

If not treated, severe low sodium levels could be fatal.

LEND H A HAND It’s been a brutal year, but this holiday season, you can help fellow Americans get back on their feet. Here’s how.

doubt about it, 2011 has been tough: floods, wildfires, a longO No standing war, and a cratered economy that has taken a toll on all

of us. Our domestic needs are so immense, experts have even coined a term for that what-can-I-do feeling: compassion fatigue. But the editors of PARADE believe Americans still want to help—if they know what needs to be done. That’s why, on this first Sunday of the holiday season, we’re spotlighting some folks and causes that could use a boost. In this Giving Issue, we tell you how $10 can keep a family warm; how to bring peace of mind to tornadoravaged Joplin, Mo.; even how to make an Olympic hopeful’s dreams come true. And if you’re short on cash but want to pitch in, we have a few ideas for you, too. Americans’ needs won’t end when the holiday season is over, but we hope this issue puts us one step closer to making 2012 a better year for all of us.

HELP A NEEDY FAMILY MEET THEIR MORTGAGE

Imagine struggling to keep a roof over your family’s head while caring for a gravely ill child. Scott and Debbie Gout of Deltona, Fla., had two sons born with a rare disease (mitochondrial encephalopathy) that prevents the body from converting food and oxygen into energy. Their first son, Christopher, died just before his fifth birthday. Their second son, Matthew, 8, continues to battle the disease every day. Debbie left her job in 2004 to become a full-time caregiver, and the couple eventually took out a second mortgage. Now, with limited income and the collapse of the housing market in Florida, they are in danger of losing their home as well as their other son. Each year, the Gradient Gives Back Community Outreach Program assists families in financial straits by paying their mortgage or lease for a full 12 months; in the case of the Gouts, financial counselor Gabriel Burgos will also provide free service for life. PARADE readers can donate to the Gradient Gives Back Foundation, which oversees the program, to help the Gouts and, hopefully, other qualified families. // To learn more, go to gradientgivesback.com

3 Act Now to Stop a New HIV/AIDS Crisis

P Andrew Eichstadt, 3, and his three siblings are among the children served by the Kelly SUN pantry in Portland.

2 Feed Hungry Children in Oregon It’s not a place most people equate with

hunger, but according to Feeding America’s 2011 Meal Gap study, Oregon has the nation’s highest rate of “child food insecurity.” About 252,000 kids—or nearly 30 percent of the state’s youth— aren’t sure where their next meal is coming from, and 13 percent have at

least one unemployed parent. The Oregon Food Bank Network has distributed 1 million food boxes to families so far this year—a 12 percent increase over 2010.

The Kelly SUN pantry in Portland provides food to nearly 60 families each month, including that of 3-year-

old Andrew Eichstadt. “My husband and I both work full-time, but we make minimum wage, and some months it’s either pay our bills or buy food,” says his mom, Nichole. Feeding one child for 10 days (30 meals) requires only $10. // To learn more, go to oregonfood bank.org

Here are some disturbing statistics: AIDS is now the third leading cause of death among African-American women in their 30s and 40s, and the number of new infections among gay and bisexual black men under 30 increased 48 percent between 2006 and 2009 (the latest U.S. figures available). This epidemic’s epicenter falls in the South, where poverty and lack of affordable health care are thwarting education, testing, and treatment. Patrick Packer, executive director of the Southern AIDS Coalition, says that the 16 southern states and the District of Columbia account for nearly half of the country’s new infections. His organization is out to “save one community of young people at a time,” but it needs your help. First up: Columbia, S.C., located in Richland County, which Packer says has one of the nation’s highest concentrations of HIV/AIDS cases and has taken ongoing hits to health care funding. The coalition plans to screen 5,000 atrisk youth and find proper care for those who test positive. “If we can turn the tide in Columbia,” he says, “we can do it anywhere.”// To learn more, go to southernaidscoalition.org

Establish a New Lounge For Wounded Vets at Fort Belvoir, Va. When Walter Reed Army Medical Center closed on Aug. 27 after 102 years, its Hooah Lounge— a popular gathering place for Iraq and

Afghanistan vets— closed, too. (The term “Hooah” or “Oorah” is a military expression of enthusiastic agreement; the acronym associated with it, HUA, stands for Heard, Understood, Acknowledged.)

Operation Homefront DC Metro, a nonprofit support group for soldiers and their families in the D.C. area, is building a bigger and better Hooah

Lounge adjacent to DeWitt Army Community Hospital in Fort Belvoir, Va., where many post– 9/11 vets are now treated. The cost of getting this new refuge for recovering veterans up and running is $10,000.

REFOREST SACRED LANDS IN NEW MEXICO

The Las Conchas wildfire, which began June 26 when a tree fell on a power line, was the largest in New Mexico’s history, destroying 156,000 acres. Among the hardest hit was the Native American Tewa tribe of Santa Clara Pueblo. Although their village escaped damage, about 17,000 acres—or 80 percent—of their forestland were scorched. “That canyon is our church, our heritage, and our life,” says Walter Dasheno, governor of Santa Clara Pueblo, who has partnered with the New Mexico Community Foundation to launch a “We Will Heal” reforestation program. Every gift of $5 covers the cost of planting and nurturing one seedling. “My hope is that one day our descendants will be able to point to the new trees and say, ‘My grandpa or grandma planted that,’” says Dasheno. // To learn more, go to nmcf.org

Come to the Rescue of Two Flooded Communities in Kentucky

Kayjay and Warren Camp, Ky., two former coal mining communities in the Appalachian Mountains, were nearly swept away by a flash flood that hit before dawn on June 20. Kayjay resident Buck Golden saw a mobile home float by his porch while wading through waist-deep water in his house. A neighbor eventually helped rescue Buck and his 4-year-old daughter, Mackenzie, but another person living nearby died, according to the Lexington HeraldLeader. To help these impoverished communities get over a disaster that received little media attention or relief, local authorities have established a long-term recovery committee through the Christian Appalachian Project. Mike Mitchell, the area’s emergency management director, says the goals are to repair homes, rebuild a park, replace lost vehicles, and fund counseling for children still trying to get over the nightmare of that night. // To learn more, go to christianapp.org

Keep a Home Warm This Winter The U.S. Department of Energy projects that average household heating costs could increase by up to 8 percent this winter, and those charges will be extracted from family budgets already stretched thin in a cold economy. The National Fuel Funds Network (NFFN) is a nonprofit

whose members distribute more than $100 million in utility assistance each year. Among the grateful: Claudia Ramirez of Hamilton, N.J., along with her husband and two children.

After his trucking business slowed down earlier this year, the family fell two months behind on their gas bill; the help they received allowed them to avoid compounding debt. This winter is shaping up to be a challenging one for the NFFN, as federal energy assistance may be reduced by as much as 30 percent. Just $10 provides one day of heat for someone in need; $70 covers an entire week. // To learn more, go to nationalfuelfunds.org

Fantastic Hot Air Balloon Ride

Build Safe Rooms in Joplin Schools On May 22, an EF5 tornado destroyed Joplin, Mo. “When it hit, it was like everything exploded,” Daniel Fluharty told the Joplin Globe. He had just arrived for work at Pizza Hut and sur-

schools sustained more than $150 million in damage and some were reduced to rubble. As part of the rebuilding effort, Huff is raising $10 million to construct safe rooms in each of the district’s 19 schools; the rooms would provide sturdy shelter for students and teachers should the skies explode again. Every donation buys concrete and steel—and a little peace of mind. // To learn more, go to joplinschools.org

CHANGE KIDS’ LIVES—AND A CITY’S IMAGE

Earlier this year, Forbes magazine named Stockton, Calif., America’s Most Miserable City, a distinction that City Manager Bob Deis likened to “bayonetting the wounded.”

But there’s a bright spot amid the town’s crippling foreclosure crisis and 15.4 percent unemployment: Despite a reduced police force, violent crime has gone down 10 percent. A chief reason is Operation Peacekeeper, a program that targets youth gang violence. Its six outreach workers counsel and mentor more than 12,000 kids (ages 10 to 18) every year and reward them with field trips outside the urban area. “When your neighborhood is filled with violence, you have no frame of reference,” says program coordinator Ralph Womack. “These trips change lives by changing their world.” The economic downturn has caused field trip funds to dry up. But you can help: All donations from PARADE readers will be used exclusively for backpacking, fishing, kayaking, and other adventures. // To learn more, go to stocktongov.com/peacekeepers continued on page 17

Foods with a low glycemic index are slower to raise blood glucose. Less refined foods tend to have lower glycemic indexes. That’s one of the reasons doctors recommend eating fruits, vegetables, and whole grains and avoiding foods with a high glycemic index, like soda or bagels.

Dr.Oz’s Transformation Nation: Million Dollar You

SMART MOVE OF THE WEEK

The first step in any weight-loss plan is to measure your body mass index (BMI), the ratio of your height to your weight. Ideally, it should be between 18.5 and 25. Hard-core athletes and pregnant women will have higher BMIs, so it’s a ballpark figure that should be discussed with your doctor. A healthy BMI reduces the risk of heart disease, cancer, and diabetes.

Calculate your BMI and sign up for Transformation Nation at doctoroz.com. And tomorrow see more exclusive video tips on BMI and weight loss at Parade.com.

10 Adopt a Team for the Olympic Games Next July, hundreds of athletes will travel to London as part of the U.S. Olympic Team. But unlike those of most competing nations, our athletes are supported by an organization, the U.S. Olympic Committee (USOC), that receives no federal funding. Keeping up with the government-backed squads of China, Russia, and Australia, among others, can be a formidable challenge, financial and otherwise. Consider Erica McLain: The 2010 national champion in the women’s triple jump, she suffered a serious injury earlier this year that could have ended her career. Undaunted, she worked her way back into competition, but still owes more than $160,000 in medical bills and struggles to get by. To help competitors like Erica realize their dreams, PARADE readers can be a part of a new Adopta-Team program in partnership with the USOC. Next summer, when one of our athletes is up on the podium, you can honestly say, “I helped get her there.” // To learn more, go to teamusa.org/AdoptATeam

Ask Marilyn

By Marilyn vos Savant

I know that Earth’s geographical poles experience a six-month period of sunlight, followed by a six-month period of darkness.

How does this compare with the amount of light received at the equator?

—Jennifer Chin, via email

Over the course of a year, all locations on the planet, including the equator, accumulate virtually the same number of daylight hours. However, in contrast with the poles, with their extreme winters and summers, the equator has no seasons at all, at least as far as sunlight is concerned. If you live on top of it, you’ll see about 12 hours of daylight every single day, all year round.

Put Your Best Foot Forward Are your toenails thick and discolored?

Embarrassed about showing your feet in public?

You’re not alone. Millions of people are concerned about the appearance of their toenails.

Is it true that if water is 100 percent pure, it will not conduct electricity?

—Jim Sampson, Pasadena, Calif.

3 out of 4 people who used Dr. Paul’s Piggy Paste saw an improvement in their toenail appearance.

Yes. Totally demineralized water with no gaseous impurities is used in various specialized industrial applications for that very reason, among others. You won’t find it on supermarket shelves (it’s not good for human consumption or cooking), and even if you had a jug of it, just opening it would allow carbon dioxide (in the air) to dissolve in the water, making it conductive. Add a bit of salt and the electrical conductivity will be greatly increased.

Linda’s Tips

Fresh Off the Cob Actress Linda Evans dishes from her new memoir, Recipes for Life.

cle

Food has never let me down. In the early ’80s, we shot a scene for Dynasty where Joan [Collins] and I had to fight in a lily pond. During lunch, I was bundled up and shivering like a drowned rat, so I asked my assistant to get me something to eat. She came back with this warm plate of corn pudding. I was in heaven!

I ate two more helpings and finally asked our caterers for the recipe. This dish is so wonderful and gooey, with the corn, the cheese, and the chiles.

Your mouth is in so many different worlds at once.

You collect the things you like, so I have about nine corn pudding recipes, but when I tried this one, wow, I knew it was a winner. I started ted cooking in my 20s, and nd for me it is just puree joy. I’m 69 and still cooking!

I STARTED COOKING IN MY 20s, AND FOR ME IT IS JUST PURE JOY.”

P“For an even

cheesier taste, mix in some cheddar.”

P“If corn is out of season, swap in the frozen kind.”

P“Pair the pudding “ with a spinach salad and roasted chicken for dinner.”

Dynasty Corn Pudding 4 oz (1 stick) unsalted butter, melted, plus additional for greasing 3 cups fresh corn kernels (from 4 to 5 ears) 2 eggs 1 cup sour cream 9 oz Monterey Jack or pepper Jack cheese, cut into ½-inch cubes ½ cup cornmeal 1 (4-oz) can whole green chiles, drained, patted dry, and cut into ½-inch pieces ½ tsp salt

½ cup grated Parmesan cheese (I prefer Parmigiano-Reggiano)

1. Preheat oven to 350°F. Generously butter a 2-quart rectangular casserole dish.

2. In a blender or food processor, puree 1 cup corn kernels with melted butter and eggs.

3. In a large bowl, combine all remaining ingredients except Parmesan.

Add pureed corn and mix well. Pour into casserole

dish, sprinkle with Parmesan, and bake for 30 minutes, or until puffed and golden.

Cook’s note: If the top isn’t browned but the pudding looks set, place it under a preheated broiler for a couple of minutes, until golden spots appear. Keep an eye on it so it doesn’t burn.

Give the Bose® Wave® music system. It is a delight to give as well as receive – because once received, it keeps right on giving.

In the living room, it delivers all the pleasures of lifelike sound from a system that easily fits on a shelf. In the kitchen, it barely takes up any counter space, yet adds enjoyment to family gatherings and evening cleanup. In the bedroom, it creates a soothing ambiance at night and, with a gradually rising alarm, gently ushers in the day.

Watch their face when they turn it on. Murray Hill of Postmedia News Service says, “Everyone is astonished at the sound… you can hear every nuance.” And they can use that sound to bring new life to all their music. There’s a built-in CD player and FM/AM tuner, plus it comes with a slim, credit card-style remote that conveniently operates every feature. Give it with the optional Multi-CD Changer to let them play their music for hours uninterrupted. Or with the optional Connect Kit that lets them hear their iPod® or iPhone® like never before. Their iPod or iPhone automatically charges while they listen.

Risk-free trial. Simply choose from three designer colors: Titanium Silver, Graphite Gray or Platinum White. And use our 30-day, risk-free trial to make sure the sound is everything we claim.
