Obama’s Europe tour raises a question of how much the U.S. can afford to help

By Steven Thomma McClatchy-Tribune News Service

WARSAW, Poland — President Barack Obama wrapped up a European tour Saturday that amounted to a roving pep rally for the spread of democracy tempered by debts at home that might make it difficult to pay for much more than talk.

His four-country, six-day trek was designed to showcase the appeal of self-government, from a celebration of time-tested freedom in England, to a pledge from the U.S. and its allies to help fledgling democracies in North Africa, to a reassurance that the U.S. stands with Poland and sees its overthrow of Soviet oppression as a beacon to the world.

Yet his commitments did not add up to anything on the scale of the Marshall Plan that helped rebuild Europe after World War II. And he concluded with an appeal to folks back in the United States to support U.S. efforts overseas even as they focus on their own recession-drained pocketbooks and staggering government debt.

State of the unions: Married couples are now minorities

By Nigel Duara The Associated Press

PORTLAND — Three mornings a week, when Becky Leung gets ready for work, her boyfriend is just getting home from his overnight job. When her mother drops hints about her twin sister’s marriage, she laughs it off. And when she thinks about getting married herself, she worries first about her career.

Leung, 27, cohabits in a Portland townhome with her boyfriend but has no plans yet to wed — a reflection of the broader cultural shift in Oregon and the U.S. away from the traditional definition of what it means to be a household.

Numbers released before the weekend by the Census Bureau show married couples have found themselves in a new position: They’re no longer the majority.

Liquor fee, supposedly temporary, will last 2½ more years

Ray Perry, a former ODOT quality inspector, shows the poor patchwork of a sinkhole on the shoulder of U.S. Highway 97 in Bend. Portions of the roadway started going bad within five years of the Oregon Department of Transportation’s Bend Parkway project, just as other ODOT projects across the state have.

Ray Perry’s story

SALEM —

R

ay Perry, a former road quality inspector for

A watchdog from inside and out — but he, too, is under fire

the Oregon Department of Transportation, has for years told anyone who will listen that his

former employer doesn’t build roads that last.

Last year, Perry, of Bend, filed a federal lawsuit to prove it, claiming contractors engaged in shoddy construction on several ODOT projects in Central and Eastern Oregon. That lawsuit is pending.

Top ODOT officials deny Perry’s claims. But while he continues to fight in court, interviews and hundreds of documents obtained

by The Bulletin show that over the past decade, the department has cut corners on construction quality oversight even as numerous roads went bad before their time, including the Bend Parkway and Redmond reroute.

The pavement problems have cost the state tens of millions of dollars in repairs and made roads less safe for motorists. And of the ODOT officials quoted in documents discussing the problem, none point to studded tires or weather to explain the deterioration they’re seeing.

The records obtained by The Bulletin under Oregon Public Records Law and the federal Freedom of Information Act include dozens of reports prepared by government auditors to document interviews with consultants, contractors and employees of

ODOT as well as the Federal Highway Administration, which oversees federally funded ODOT projects. The documents also include e-mails by state and federal employees as well as federal and state audits or other reviews of ODOT quality control and oversight — including those done by the Office of Inspector General of the U.S. Department of Transportation.

The documents highlight lax enforcement and loopholes in ODOT’s quality control rules while overseeing road construction.

They also show a close relationship between the highway department and the industry groups that assist in securing highway funding, such as contractors and consultants.

When shown records of auditors’ interviews with federal and state employees, the former chairman of the Senate Transportation Committee, Rick Metsger, who is now a consultant, called them disturbing. “It seems like this isn’t an example of a disgruntled employee,” he said. “The documents you have indicate multiple concerns from multiple individuals. …

It appears that this could be a systemic problem.”

or years, Ray Perry was an ODOT quality inspector charged with making sure roadbeds and asphalt were put in correctly. More than two years ago, the Bend man appeared on local TV and elsewhere, contending that ODOT’s willingness to cut corners explains why Oregonians are seeing roads and bridges rut, pothole, crack and otherwise go bad well before their time.

His battle continues in court, with a federal lawsuit pending that accuses several construction companies of engaging in poor construction practices. His story has captured the attention of local state lawmakers, including Sen. Chris Telfer, RBend, Rep. Jason Conger, R-Bend, and Rep. Gene Whisnant, R-Sunriver. But one of his most explosive allegations — that quality tests appear to have been shredded by ODOT personnel instead of turning them in — has never been investigated by ODOT, though it was brought up more than a year ago.

Perry spent 23 years at ODOT, working on the front lines of road construction quality control. After repeatedly clashing with contractors and management over construction practices, Perry found himself the focus of investigations by the managers he’d accused of wrongdoing. He went out on stress leave and never came back.

When warnings don’t seem to work Experts say there will always be deaths when a strong tornado scores a direct hit on a heavily populated area. The question — for all disasters, not just twisters — has been how low casualty figures can go. “The goal of preparedness,” says one expert, “is to make that loss as minimal as possible.”

But, after the deadliest twister year since 1950, are steps to realizing this goal off the mark?

When the Oregon Liquor Control Commission approved a 50cent surcharge on state liquor in 2009, it was billed as a temporary fix for an ailing state budget.

But on Friday, the commissioners voted to extend the surcharge through 2013. They said they don’t think it’s fair but felt hamstrung by the fact that Gov. John Kitzhaber’s 2011-13 budget already includes the $29 million in revenue that the continued surcharge would generate.

“I continue to be very troubled by how we are essentially being put in a no-win situation in regards to the current surcharge.

It targets one specific industry,” Alex Duarte told fellow commissioners before voting in favor of extending the surcharge. “I do think we need a legislative solution to make these taxing mechanisms more fair to all stakeholders in Oregon.”

In Oregon, the state purchases the liquor and then contracts with agents, who sell it, then return the revenue. The state then reimburses agents with a percentage of the sales, and the agents use that money to pay rent, wages and other costs. The surcharge initially went into effect in April 2009 for a three-month period to help liquor agents recoup some of the money they lost when the Legislature trimmed compensation to help make up for a 2007-09 budget shortfall.

Then in June 2009, OLCC commissioners voted to extend the surcharge through June 30 of this year. That move was expected to provide about $27 million over two years, money that helped maintain OLCC’s budget. Additional revenue went to the state’s general fund during a difficult economic period.

Civil war averted for now in Yemen

A YEAR AT WAR

After combat, vets encounter unforeseen perils of coming home

By Ahmed al-Haj The Associated Press

SANAA, Yemen — Yemen’s embattled president and the country’s most powerful tribal leader agreed Saturday to end five days of gunbattles that killed 124 people and pushed the country’s political crisis closer to civil war.

The fighting between forces loyal to both men made the past week the deadliest since mass street protests for an end to President Ali Abdullah Saleh’s 33-year rule broke out three months ago. Although it could prevent bloodshed, the agreement will do little to solve the wider crisis, with Saleh rejecting efforts to negotiate his exit.

The week’s battles began when Saleh’s security forces attacked the home of Sheik Sadeq al-Ahmar, head of the powerful Hashid tribal confederation and an uneasy ally who abandoned the president and joined his opponents. Tribal fighters came to al-Ahmar’s defense and seized a number of government buildings in a Sanaa neighborhood .

The agreement late Saturday for both sides to withdraw followed steps by both sides to undermine the other, with al-Ahmar calling on security forces to desert the president and Yemeni authorities issuing an arrest warrant for the tribal leader.

Experts say the uprising’s future will be determined by the number of tribes and security forces that turn against Saleh.

Many already have, including the Hashid confederation, to which Saleh’s tribe belongs.

Next in security staff shake-up: Army leader likely next chair of joint chiefs New York Times News Service Gen. Martin Dempsey’s peers call him a “pentathlete,” the kind of post-Sept. 11 commander who not only knows the art of combat but is adept at marshaling the power of diplomacy, money, allied cooperation and information.

He will need all those skills if, as expected, President Barack Obama nominates him to be chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, a move that could come as early as Monday.

As the military’s highestranking officer Gen. Martin and a crucial Dempsey member of the president’s revampednational security team, Dempsey would face a complex and consequential set of challenges against the backdrop of both rapid change abroad and intensive political pressures at home: how fast to withdraw from Afghanistan, how to reshape the military and how to cope with an era of fiscal austerity.

If confirmed by the Senate, Dempsey, currently the Army chief, would become the president’s senior military adviser working alongside Leon Panetta, the CIA director, who is in line to become defense secretary in late June, and Gen. David Petraeus, who will take over from Panetta at the CIA. Officials said the high esteem Defense Secretary Robert Gates holds for Dempsey — a view shared by the departing chairman, Adm. Mike Mullen — was a significant factor in shaping Obama’s decision. The president initially favored Gen. James Cartwright, the current vice chairman, before questions of personnel management and command style pushed him out of the running.

Dempsey carries no visible political baggage and has no vocal critics across the armed forces.

Amr Nabil / The Associated Press

Passports in hand, Palestinian residents wait at Egypt’s Rafah border crossing on Saturday to step foot out of the Gaza Strip for the first time in four years.

Egypt lifts 4-year blockade, along with Gazans’ hopes Bulletin wire reports RAFAH CROSSING, Egypt — A few hundred Palestinians on Saturday became the first to cross the border into Egypt under newly eased rules that marked the first tangible dividend of the Arab uprisings for Palestinians.

Hundreds arrived here by the busload to pass through the permanently reopened border into Egypt, taking a step out of the Israeli blockade.

“I feel this is the start of freedom,” said Hasna el-Ryes, 45, one Gaza resident waiting to cross into Egypt so she could travel to visit sons studying in Britain.

“You can’t imagine how much we have suffered.”

While a gradual loosening of the border over the last year had allowed some to cross — including registered students or those seeking medical treatment — many of those making the trip Saturday said they felt a new stirring of hope at Egypt’s decision to stop enforcing Israel’s blockade of the Palestinian territory.

They cheered the decision as a humani-

tarian gesture to the 1.5 million Gaza residents but also as an important concession to make possible the reconciliation deal that Egypt brokered between the militant group Hamas, which rules in Gaza, and the moderate Fatah faction, which governs the West Bank. And they saluted the Egyptian revolution that brought about a new spirit of independence.

The Rafah border crossing has for years been a kind of geographic emblem of Egypt’s complicated relationship with Israel. For the Arab world, Egypt’s determination under President Hosni Mubarak to secure the border came to represent to its decision to put its partnership with Israel and the United States ahead of solidarity with its fellow Muslims languishing in Gaza.

In Israel, Rafah was a reminder of the superficial quality of its partnership with Mubarak, because while his security forces closed the surface crossing, Hamas and its Egyptian sympathizers continued to carry in weapons and goods through a not-so-secret network of tunnels.

Pvt. Johnnie Stevenson cleaned his truck one last time, scraping off the barnacle-like mud and pulling crushed water bottles from under seats. But deployment to Afghanistan was almost over, and his thoughts drifted elsewhere.

Was his pregnant fiancee ready to be a mother?

Facebook provided so few clues. Nor could it answer him this: Was he ready to be a father?

For a year, Stevenson and his colleagues had navigated minefields and ducked bullets, endured tedium inside barbed-wired outposts and stitched together the frayed seams of long-distance relationships.

But the final weeks in a war zone are often the most dangerous, as weary troops get sloppy or unfocused. Once they arrive home, alcohol abuse, traffic accidents and other measures of mayhem typically rise as they blow off steam.

Weeks later, as the joy of return subsides, deepseated emotional or psychological problems can begin to show.

“The hardest part for me is, I guess, not being on edge,” said Staff Sgt. Francisco Narewski, a father of three who just completed his second deployment. “I feel like I need to do something, like I need to go on mission or I need to check my soldiers. And I’m not.”

For the 1st Battalion, 87th Infantry out of Fort Drum, N.Y., which recently finished a yearlong tour, leaving Afghanistan proved as deadly as fighting in Afghanistan. In the first 11 months of deployment, the battalion lost two soldiers, both to roadside bombs. During the next month, it lost two more, neither in combat.

Just getting the battalion’s nearly 800 soldiers home was far from simple. It would take a month, along with dozens of helicopters, military cargo planes and commercial jets, to move them the 6,500 miles to Watertown, N.Y. On his final flight home, Stevenson, 20, fantasized about the freedoms he would soon taste again: texting, wearing blue jeans and T-shirts, taking his little brother to the zoo. Being alone.

His deployment had been a mixed bag. After getting into an argument with a higher-ranking soldier, he lost a rank. But he had also performed well under pressure. While driving his platoon leader on a mission last fall, his truck hit a powerful mine that blew off its rear end and flipped it over. Stevenson was the first out and helped the three other passengers, including his lieutenant, escape. He earned a Purple Heart after sustaining a back injury and a possible concussion.

As the plane approached New York, he was thinking about his next big challenge. Stevenson’s fiancee was pregnant, and he learned his child, due in August, was a boy. He has already bought an SAT prep book.

STATE LEGISLATURES

GOP tightening voting rules

By Lizette Alvarez New York Times News Service

MIAMI — Less than 18 months before the next presidential election, Republican-controlled statehouses around the country are rewriting voting laws to require photo identification at the polls, reduce the number of days of early voting or tighten registration rules.

Republican legislators say the new rules, which have advanced in 13 states in the past two months, offer a practical way to weed out fraudulent votes and preserve the integrity of the ballot box. Democrats say the changes have little to do with fraud prevention and more to do with placing obstacles in the way of possible Democratic voters, including young people and minorities.

Gov. Scott Walker of Wisconsin and Gov. Rick Perry of Texas signed laws last week that

would require each voter to show an official, valid photo ID to cast a ballot, joining Kansas and South Carolina. In Florida, which already had a photo law, Gov. Rick Scott signed a bill this month to tighten restrictions on third-party voter registration organizations — prompting the League of Women Voters to say it would cease registering voters in the state — and to shorten the number of early voting days. Twelve states now require photo identification to vote.

The battleground states of Ohio and Pennsylvania are among those moving ahead on voter ID bills, part of a trend that seems likely to intensify the kind of pitched partisan jousting over voting that has cropped up in recent presidential races.

Democrats, who point to scant evidence of voter-impersonation fraud, say the unified Re-

publican push for photo identification cards carries echoes of the Jim Crow laws — with their poll taxes and literacy tests — that inhibited black voters in the South from Reconstruction through the 1960s. Election experts say minorities, poor people and students — who tend to skew Democratic — are among those least likely to have valid driver’s licenses, the most prevalent form of identification.

Older people, another group less likely to have licenses, are swing voters.

Republicans argue that the requirements are commonplace. “If you have to show a picture ID to buy Sudafed, if you have to show a picture ID to get on an airplane, you should show a picture ID when you vote,” Gov. Nikki Haley said this month when she signed the bill into law in South Carolina, using a common refrain among Republicans.

Anarchist case shines light on FBI methods after 9/11

By Colin Moynihan and Scott Shane New York Times News Service

AUSTIN, Texas — A fat sheaf of FBI reports meticulously details the surveillance that counterterrorism agents directed at the onestory house in east Austin. For at least three years, they traced the license plates of cars parked out front, recorded the comings and goings of residents and guests and, in one case, speculated about a suspicious flat object spread out across the driveway.

“The content could not be determined from the street,” an agent observing from his car reported one day in 2005. “It had a large number of multi-colored blocks, with figures and/or lettering,” the report said, and “may be a sign that is to be used in an upcoming protest.” Actually, the item in question was more mundane.

“It was a quilt,” said Scott Crow, marveling over the papers at the dining table of his ramshackle home, where he lives with his wife, a housemate and a backyard menagerie that includes two goats, a dozen chickens and a turkey. “For a kids’ after-school program.”

Crow, 44, a self-described anarchist and veteran organizer of anticorporate demonstrations, is among dozens of political activists across the country known to have come under scrutiny from the FBI’s increased counterterrorism operations since the attacks of Sept. 11, 2001.

Other targets of bureau surveillance, which has been criticized by civil liberties groups and mildly faulted by the Justice Department’s inspector general, have included antiwar activists in Pittsburgh, animal rights advocates in Virginia and liberal Roman Catholics in Nebraska. When such investigations produce no criminal charges, their methods rarely come to light publicly.

But Crow, a lanky Texas native who works at a recycling center, is one of several Austin activists who asked the FBI for their files, citing the Freedom of Information Act. The 440 heavily-redacted pages he received, many bearing the rubric “Domestic Terrorism,” provide a revealing window on the efforts of the bureau, backed by other federal, state and local police agencies, to keep an eye on people it deems dangerous.

Monitoring Scott Crow In the case of Crow, who has been arrested a dozen times during demonstrations but has never been convicted of anything more serious than trespassing, the bureau wielded an impressive array of tools, the documents show.

The agents watched from their cars for hours at a time — Crow recalls one regular as “a fat guy in an SUV with the engine running and the air-conditioning on” — and watched gatherings at a bookstore and cafe. For roundthe-clock coverage, they attached a video camera to the phone pole across from his house.

Caleb Bryant Miller / New York Times News Service

Scott Crow, a self-described anarchist, with an FBI document he received under the Freedom of Information Act. For at least three years, counterterrorism agents monitored the comings and goings at Crow’s home in Austin, Texas.

They tracked Crow’s phone calls and e-mails and combed through his trash, identifying his bank and mortgage companies, which appear to have been served with subpoenas. They visited gun stores where he shopped for a rifle, noting dryly in one document that a vegan animal rights advocate like Crow made an unlikely hunter. (He says the weapon was for self-defense in a marginal neighborhood.)

They asked the Internal Revenue Service to examine his tax returns but backed off after an IRS employee suggested that Crow’s modest earnings would not impress a jury even if his returns were flawed. (He earns $32,000 a year at Ecology Action of Texas, he said.)

They infiltrated political meetings with undercover police officers and informers. Crow counts five supposed fellow activists who were reporting to the FBI.

‘It makes me laugh’ Crow seems alternately astonished, angered and flattered by the government’s attention. “I’ve had times of intense paranoia,” he said, especially when he discovered that some trusted allies were actually spies.

“But first, it makes me laugh,” he said. “It’s just a big farce that the government’s created such paper tigers. Al-Qaida and real terrorists are hard to find. We’re easy to find. It’s outrageous that they would spend so much money surveilling civil activists, and anarchists in particular, and equating our actions with al-Qaida.”

The investigation of political activists is an old story for the FBI, most infamously in the Cointel program, which scrutinized and sometimes harassed civil rights and antiwar advocates from the 1950s to the 1970s. Such activities were reined in after they were exposed by the Senate’s Church Committee, and FBI surveillance has been governed by an evolving set of guidelines set by attorneys general since 1976.

But the Oklahoma City bombing in 1995 demonstrated the lethal danger of domestic terrorism,

and after the Sept. 11 attacks, the FBI vowed never again to overlook terrorists hiding in plain sight.

The al-Qaida sleeper cells many Americans feared, though, turned out to be rare or nonexistent.

The result, said Michael German, a former FBI agent now at the American Civil Liberties Union, has been a zeal to investigate political activists who pose no realistic threat of terrorism. “You have a bunch of guys and women all over the country sent out to find terrorism. Fortunately, there isn’t a lot of terrorism in many communities,” German said. “So they end up pursuing people who are critical of the government.”

Complaints from the ACLU prompted the Justice Department’s inspector general to assess the FBI’s forays into domestic surveillance. The resulting report last September absolved the bureau of investigating dissenters based purely on their expression of political views. But the inspector general also found skimpy justification for some investigations, uncertainty about whether any federal crime was even plausible in others and a mislabeling of nonviolent civil disobedience as “terrorism.”

Asked about the surveillance of Crow, an FBI spokesman, Paul Bresson, said it would be “inappropriate” to discuss an individual case. But he said that investigations are conducted only after the bureau receives information about possible crimes.

Crow said he hoped the airing of FBI busywork might deter further efforts to keep watch over him. But “I still occasionally see people sitting in cars across the street,” he said. “I don’t think they’ve given up.”

W B NATO general hurt in Afghan bombing KABUL, Afghanistan — A Taliban suicide bomber infiltrated a heavily guarded governor’s compound in northern Afghanistan where top NATO and Afghan officials were meeting, killing several people there, including the highly regarded regional police commander, Gen. Daoud Daoud, Afghan officials said. The German commander of NATO’s force in the north, Gen. Markus Kneip, was among the wounded, German news reports said.

The Taliban claimed responsibility for the attack.

Daoud, who was born in 1969, was a former mujahedeen commander during the Soviet invasion, was seen by many as a stabilizing influence in the north, even as security has eroded in the region in the past few years.

Meanwhile, in Pakistan’s northwestern frontier, a suicide bomber targeted pro-government tribal elders Saturday, killing eight men, officials said, a day after Secretary of State Hillary Clinton during a visit here implored Pakistanis to take decisive steps to fight terrorism. A spokesman for the separate Pakistani Taliban claimed responsibility, saying the elders were targeted because they were helping the security forces.

North Korea frees detained Californian BEIJING — North Korea freed an American it held for a half year for reportedly proselytizing, handing him Saturday to a U.S. envoy who said Washington had not promised to provide aid in exchange for the man’s release.

The envoy, Robert King, accompanied Eddie Jun on a flight from the North Korean capital, Pyongyang, and told reporters after arriving in Beijing that Jun would be reunited with his family in the U.S. “within a day or two.”

Jun, a Korean-American from California who traveled to North Korea several times and had business interests there, was arrested in November, with the North’s official Korean Central News Agency saying he was accused of committing a serious crime.

Pyongyang didn’t provide details, but South Korean press reports say Jun was accused of spreading Christianity.

WASHING THE WALL BEFORE MEMORIAL DAY TO HONOR VIETNAM VETS With the Washington Monument in the background, members of the Boozefighters Motorcycle Club clean the Vietnam Veterans Memorial last week.

The weekly washing of the Wall, with its religious resonances, arose out of frustration. In 1998, dissatisfied with the job the National Park Service was doing and upset that bird droppings had filled in some of more than 58,000 engraved names, Jan Scruggs, of the Vietnam Veterans Memorial Fund (the group behind the memorial’s construction in 1982), took action. Scruggs handed 37 toothbrushes to visiting vets, who scrubbed the filth away.

A little more than a decade ago, the vets and the park service began working more closely together, and organized weekly cleanings began.

They expanded to the nearby Three Servicemen statue, the Vietnam Women’s Memorial and, on alternate weekend days, the Korean War Veterans Memorial.

U.S. role Continued from A1 For Obama, who has struggled at times to fashion a response to the Arab uprisings, this week’s trip suggested he had settled on a guiding principle, which he voiced at every stop: While the West cannot dictate events, it must facilitate them.

That applies to the United States, he said, even if it is burdened with fiscal deficits and a fragile economy. “Even at a time when we have fiscal constraints,” he said Saturday before flying home, “I want the American people to understand that we’ve got to leave room for us to continue our tradition of providing leadership when it comes to freedom, democracy, human rights,” he said.

His remarks came as he proposes to give $2 billion in aid to Egypt. He and allies also agreed at a summit in France to seek other aid to emerging democracies.

That money might come from the International Monetary Fund and perhaps from the European fund created to help countries such as Poland make the transition from communism to capitalism and democracy.

Yet his trip came as Europe, too, wrestles with debt, and Con-

gress is gearing up for a fight over whether to raise the legal limit for U.S. government borrowing.

“My sense is that he is making a direct appeal to Congress not to neuter the foreign assistance budget, particularly at a time when the transformation of (the Middle East and North Africa) is at stake,” said Heather Conley, director of the Europe program at the Center for Strategic and International Studies in Washington.

From Britain and France, Obama asked mainly for money to shore up the teetering economies of Egypt and Tunisia. But from Poland, the president sought something less tangible: inspiration, a kind of how-to manual from people who had taken a similar journey.

“It has gone through what so many countries want to now go through,” Obama said at a news conference with Prime Minister Donald Tusk. “Poland can play an extraordinary role precisely because they have they have traveled so far so rapidly over the last 25 years.”

Meeting with veterans of the Solidarity labor movement that first challenged authoritarian rule, he said they helped lead to the collapse of the Soviet Union and the rapid rise of freedom and democracy in Poland and Central

Europe. (Missing from the meeting: former Solidarity labor leader, Polish president and fellow Nobel Peace Prize winner Lech Walesa.

He refused to attend, calling it little more than a photo opportunity.)

“Poland’s story demonstrates how a proud and determined and enthusiastic people can overcome extraordinary challenges and build a democracy that represents the great strength and character of this nation, while now serving as an example for Europe and the world,” he said later.

As he did on previous stops in Britain and France, Obama reaffirmed the centrality of the transAtlantic alliance. The president’s Poland visit was also meant to reassure officials there that efforts to “reset” relations with Russia would not come at Poland’s expense.

On Friday, Russia drew closer to the U.S. in its position on Libya, with President Dmitri Medvedev saying that he wanted to play a role in easing out the Libyan leader, Moammar Gadhafi.

Obama announced Saturday that the United States has agreed to send F-16 fighter jets and C-130 cargo aircraft to train in Poland, a move Polish leadership welcomed as a sign of the U.S. commitment to defend Central and Eastern Europe. Obama earlier

canceled plans originally devised by the administration of President George W. Bush to deploy a missile defense system based partly in Poland. The system ostensibly was meant to guard against rogue nations such as Iran, but Russia saw it as provocative.

The lingering suspicions between Poland and Russia were on display outside the gates of the presidential palace, where a crowd of protestors held up large placards asserting a Russian role in the 2010 plane crash that killed President Lech Kaczynski, his wife, and many members of the Polish military and government establishment.

Just before he left Warsaw, Obama paid his respects at a memorial for the victims of that crash, lighting a candle and gazing silently at their names on a brushed metal wall in a cathedral.

Not all the visit was so highminded. In Poland, as in Ireland on Monday, Obama reached out to countries with large immigrant populations that constitute potent voting blocs in the U.S. “If you’ve lived in Chicago and you haven’t become a little bit Polish, then there’s something wrong with you,” he joked.

“(Quality) is just not there anymore. ...

Contractors get a … bonus, and three years later the highway falls apart. We should be getting 15 years of life from that pavement.”

Continued from previous page The Redmond project is just one of several that have failed well before their time.

Portions of the $113 million Bend Parkway project started going bad in just five years. Experts say U.S. Highway 97 is particularly vulnerable to weather and studded tires because of the frequency with which it freezes, thaws, then freezes again. Hicks, for example, called it “probably one of the worst highways in the country” in terms of climate.

Dick Nelson, a retired consultant who formerly was an ODOT district engineer based in Bend, doesn’t buy it. He said some portions of the new roadway started rutting while others didn’t — a clear sign that asphalt quality in some of the road sections was bad.

“If that’s studded tires, it should rut continuously, not intermittently,” he said, adding that the Parkway “within three or four years started to show signs of distress — way sooner than it should have.”

One of ODOT’s upper-level officials, Monte Grove, told auditors that doing a better job of ensuring quality would bring Oregon a “huge payoff in terms of cost.”

Grove is one of five regional managers statewide.

“We have a lot of pavement failure,” he said, according to notes of the conversation. “We spend a lot of money but don’t get the life out of our paving projects like we should.”

Grove cited five projects totaling $100 million that went bad prematurely, including a 2003 Pendleton project that had rutted “severely” after only a few years, not the 15 years it was designed for. Similarly, a 2005 La Grande project rapidly rutted “all the way through.” Meanwhile, one stretch of highway between Pleasant Valley and Durkee “has been repaved for the third time in 15 years.”

Paul Woodworth, a supervisor in Eastern Oregon, cited other examples. A contract to repave state Highway 78 between Burns and Crane using a type of pavement called “chip seal” failed when the contractor failed to add enough oil, or the inspector failed to catch the error, he said. “It cost us $1.5 million to redo the project,” he added.

Within a year of a laying down a chip seal south of Jordan Valley on U.S. Highway 95, cracks began to appear. ODOT officials could not pinpoint the cause but appeared to have blamed the contractor. The firm was not penalized, but “we decided to do the paving with our own forces the next year,” Woodworth said, according to the auditors’ notes.

In the Medford area alone, newly built sections of state highways 62 and 140 have gone bad almost immediately three times since 2007,

according to ODOT and Federal Highway Administration e-mails.

Another paving job near Medford, on state Highway 138 also went bad. On July 10, inspector Roy Siegel informed ODOT managers that the weight of a pickup truck was enough to cause large chunks to start flying off a freshly constructed section where a chip seal surface of gravel-like aggregate mixed with asphalt had been laid on existing pavement.

Siegel called the problem potentially “huge,” saying, “I’m not sure how to explain that a chip seal designed to protect and preserve a pavement may have inadvertently caused the underlying pavement to fail beyond repair.”

The problems are not limited to smaller or rural state highways. In late 2008, Oregon State University released a study of five “premature pavement failures” on Interstate 5 and Interstate 84, including ones where deep ruts appeared in projects before paving was even complete. The study’s findings suggested poor construction practices were a likely culprit.

The department has looked at pieces of the problem. It recently used a University of Washington professor to study several premature failures of one kind of pavement, called “open-graded,” that’s intended to decrease hydroplaning; the professor recommended ODOT stop using that kind of pavement.

ODOT is also paying a Montana State University professor about $130,000 to figure out the extent of a different problem — large cracks appearing in relatively new pavement — and search for an explanation.

A 2009 study by the American Association of State Highway and Transportation Officials and TRIP, a highway research group, found that bad roads lead to $335 in increased maintenance costs for the average vehicle.

John Glennon, a Kansas-based forensic crash expert who has worked for the California Highway Division and served as traffic safety manager for the Midwest Research Institute, said pavement problems such as rutting can also be dangerous — thanks to increased risk of hydroplaning as water pools in ruts a quarter-inch deep or more.

“A lot of times highway departments don’t want to talk about it,” he said. “Police will usually not even put down whether it is a factor (in an accident report). It’s downplayed a lot in the industry but I think it’s a lot bigger issue than people will admit.”

••• So, what is going wrong?

Garrett and Jeff Gower, a top ODOT official who oversees construction contracts and quality control, say the answer is nothing.

They say that with the number of projects done by ODOT, it’s natural that a few will go wrong. And they have not noticed any uptick in the number of problems.

But many ODOT employees believe that something has changed.

One group of ODOT employees told auditors that weather and studded tires clearly have nothing to do with the pavement failures they are seeing. Four quality assurance technicians said quality “is just not there anymore,” according to notes of the meeting.

“Contractors get a … bonus, and three years later the highway falls apart. We should be getting 15 years of life from that pavement,” they added.

ODOT quality technician Mark Sanger, of La Grande, said premature pavement failures are occurring “with greater frequency and usually on a freeway project; we’ll usually see signs of rutting within the next year,” he said in an interview. “And that should not be, just should not be.”

••• The possible culprits include: • Materials: Some employees point to a decline in the quality of gravel and asphalt used by ODOT. The four Eastern Oregon quality assurance inspectors quoted in auditors’ interview reports said they think ODOT is using a smaller size of gravel-like aggregate, one better suited for filling potholes than building highways.

Not only that, they said, but the quality of oil used in asphalt is down, and the state’s quality standards on the oil are too low. “They also said the quality of the oil in the mix is much lower than it used to be and usually only meets the minimum requirements. They say tests rarely fail because the standard is so low,” according to the auditors’ notes.

• Deadlines over quality: Karen Tatman, a longtime highway project manager and design engineer, told auditors that ODOT frequently sets unrealistic deadlines on projects and then bows to political pressure to get those projects done on time and within the estimated budget, even when problems and quality issues crop up.

Portraying every project as an on-time, on-budget success “is fiction and the main thing that suffers is project quality,” she said, according to the auditor’s notes.

“ODOT won’t and can’t admit this but it is the truth. ODOT will not show flexibility, corners get cut

and quality is diminished.”

• Outsourcing oversight: Sanger contends there is a direct link between the state’s quality problems and the department’s shift beginning in the 1990s to relying on road and bridge construction contractors to oversee themselves.

Construction companies now design their own asphalt mixes, selfcertify them as meeting quality standards, and either do their own quality testing out in the field or hire private labs to do it for them.

Gerri Mikkola, who holds a high-ranking quality assurance post at ODOT headquarters, told auditors she “doesn’t think ODOT does a good job of making sure that consultants meet their responsibilities. For example, we don’t withhold payment to consultants if they’re not delivering what they’re supposed to.”

Nathan Potter, a project manager who works with consultants in Region 1, told auditors that “consultants used to be evaluated and those evaluations directly impacted their next assignments as well as the release of retainage.

Now, they are not really.”

• ODOT’s central lab: Grove, the regional manager who oversees Eastern Oregon for ODOT, told auditors that he believes some of the quality problems may stem from an overworked and understaffed central pavement materials lab in Salem — the group that is supposed to oversee the quality of contractor’s asphalt mix designs and settle quality disputes with contractors.

Several former lab employees told The Bulletin that the biggest problem besides overwork has increasingly been pressure from lab managers to go easy on contractors.

Roger Wroblewski, a pavement engineer who retired two years ago, said, “We’re not watching anymore. We believe what they tell us. And I believe the roads are suffering because of that.”

• Staffing levels: Others cited a lack of construction inspectors and quality control inspectors to make sure the quality testing is done right. “There are times when you can go a whole day at a job site and not see an inspector. That’s really bad,” federal highway inspector Anthony Boesen told auditors.

• Testing delays: The failure to verify quality and quantity is so common that it can take a year just to get a project’s paperwork in order. That often entails directing

slowly shifts.

In one instance, Perry accused Kirkland of mishandling nuclear density gauges so they were likely out of calibration — meaning all their test results would be wrong.

In another, Perry accused Kirkland of falsifying a test result that attested to the proper calibration of a contractor’s nuclear gauge, which Kirkland denied.

His supervisors faulted Perry for bringing the complaint and opened up an investigation accusing Perry of violating testing protocol himself. The clash culminated in Perry going out on stress leave.

Since 2008, Perry has had mixed success in court — losing one workers’ compensation lawsuit over his stress claim, and settling a whistle-blower retaliation case.

But a third case, dormant for two years, was reinvigorated this April when a new set of lawyers retained

by Perry filed an amended suit in federal court accusing contractors of using fabricated tests and substandard work on ODOT’s watch.

Documents — such as performance reviews calling his work “outstanding” — and interviews portray Perry as very good at the technical aspects of his job and less so with the political ones.

In a 2006 deposition, Kirkland called Perry “an incredible resource with his ability to look at situations, to analyze them, to catch the details that 99% of the other people involved don’t see. … He can put it together, and go, ‘This is what’s going on.’ And he’s right.”

His former co-worker in Bend, Shane Wilhelm, called Perry “honest and professional.” Wilhelm says contractors and their hired quality technicians are constantly trying to circumvent Oregon’s quality control requirements, and Perry “knew all their tricks.”

Tony Mandich, a former quality inspector for ODOT, trained Perry. “Ray was a very good technician. He took the job seriously. …

He always did the job right,” Mandich said. But, he added of Perry, “He wasn’t politically astute, and he would rub people the wrong way. … He was fairly intense.”

Indeed, Mark Sanger, a former

fellow quality assurance tech, says Perry was known as a secretive man with an overblown sense of his own authority. Sanger said Perry was reputed to be so difficult that he wouldn’t even tell project managers whether their quality tests had passed or failed.

Roger Wroblewski, who until recently worked as an engineer in ODOT’s material laboratory in Salem, said that when Perry went public with his concerns about lax quality control and oversight, many of his co-workers supported him, even though it didn’t help his ODOT career.

“A lot of people were saying, ‘Well, he probably shouldn’t have opened his mouth — but he sure is telling the truth,’” Wroblewski recalled.

Garrett, the ODOT director, dismisses the concerns raised by Perry as bogus. He notes that an FBI investigation of Perry’s claims did not result in criminal charges, nor did a follow-up investigation by the Office of Inspector General. A two-week review of his claims by a junior auditor with the Secretary of State’s office found that Perry’s most inflammatory claims were not proven, though there were many problems with ODOT quality testing and paperwork.

Garrett said, “Let me be frank.

His allegations and innuendos just have not been substantiated.”

Garrett defends his decision to not investigate the allegation of shredding by pointing to a letter he wrote asking Perry to write a detailed report so he could arrange an outside investigation.

Perry, with his pending lawsuit, declined, saying he suspects ODOT would generate fake documentation if given a preview on his allegations.

Later, when Garrett was provided with photos showing the shreddings that had been reassembled

by Perry and his wife, he and his spokesman, Pat Cooney, said they would not investigate because the documents could have been generated by anyone.

In the last few months, as Perry’s federal lawsuit heats up again, ODOT has renewed an investigation it opened in 2007 into whether he followed protocol on a

quality test. The complaint will be submitted to a quality committee dominated by the same interests — contractors and consultants — with whom Perry has repeatedly clashed. Perry, who now works for a contractor himself, could be suspended from doing the work for which Kirkland and his other supervisors used to praise him.

Garrett denied any effort to use the complaint process as payback on Perry, saying it instead was intended to settle “outstanding issues.”

Perry, however, says, “I feel that (ODOT management) is retaliating against me.”

Continued from A1 Telfer has dogged ODOT director Matt Garrett over the case since being told of Perry by Ben Westlund, who had supported Perry’s fight before dying last year. She sat in an ODOT office for a meeting between Garrett and Perry last year when Perry held up a plastic bag of shredded documents and Garrett appeared “very concerned,” Telfer said.

“Matt said he was going to give me a letter outlining the steps he was going to take,” Telfer said. “I have yet to receive that letter.”

Perry was one of the quality watchdogs the state uses to double-check tests run by contractors on asphalt and roadbed to make sure their methods and equipment are accurate.

More than two years after leaving the agency, he remains a voluble ODOT critic, calling management “way too cozy” with employees who don’t question shoddy work. But “if you try to buck that system and make the system go as written,” he said, “they’re not bashful about going after those individuals.”

Perry used to work for a likeminded supervisor, Reid Meritt, in Bend. A 2003 e-mail shows that Meritt complained after ODOT submitted a contract change order to accept substandard work on the Crooked River Bridge. He wrote that the move would encourage contractors to continue submitting substandard work to the state, and that “if we continue to choose not to require compliance with quality requirements of contracts (then) project quality will continue a diminishing trend.”

When Meritt transferred to another office, Perry was beaten out for his supervisor’s job by Dave Kirkland, a private-sector quality technician. The two soon faced off over a device: the nuclear density gauge that measures the density or compaction of substances like asphalt and the roadbeds that lie beneath. Asphalt needs to be dense enough that it lasts long but not so dense that it loses its flexibility as the ground beneath it

contractors to go back and take quality tests after the project is completed, said Bob Pappe, a top contract administration manager for ODOT. But quality checks are supposed to be done while the project is ongoing — otherwise they’re not of much value, said Charles Hughes, a national expert on pavement quality control.

“Significant disincentives need to be in place to keep contractors from skipping tests or getting results in late,” Kari Gines, a Portland-area ODOT quality assurance official, told ODOT auditors, according to a summary of the interview. “Right now they are a joke and a waste of time. They need to be huge to show ODOT is serious about enforcing the quality control requirements.”

• Cheating on tests: Boesen also pointed to a quality control system fraught with loopholes — one whose rules are often not enforced. He said the ODOT quality system double-checks contractors’ work so infrequently that it’s “vulnerable to contractors who fake tests.”

Documents show that five years ago, federal highway officials urged ODOT to change its testing certification program to require contractors to sign statements certifying the veracity of their results, as other states do. ODOT rejected the idea and instead merely requires a signature with no statement as to the document’s accuracy. Hughes said such a change would cost next to nothing and help ensure the integrity of testing.

Though ODOT officials say a signature is enough and no certification statement is necessary, e-mails obtained by The Bulletin show one case in which a contractor’s consultant signed a quality document that he felt was bogus.

Not only is the system vulnerable to cheating, but cheating may at times have been tolerated at lower levels of the agency. In 2007, when an ODOT quality inspector, Sue McDonald, e-mailed the top state quality official, Cole Mullis, that a contractor’s testing lab seemed to be submitting falsified test results on concrete used for a bridge in Portland, her immediate supervisor chimed in, e-mailing that “this has been an issue with them lately.”

In 2007, the White City office of ODOT stopped requiring any proof of quality control before paying contractors. A federal investigation and stern warning by the U.S. Department of Transportation’s Office of Inspector General put a stop to the practice.

And Gines, in a 2009 interview with auditors, said: “Lots of people are not doing quality control.

They fake tests. They do poor testing. It’s not hard to cheat on quality control. … They have to be watched 24/7.”

Serbs: Mladic in good health as he heads to The Hague

Gay marriage debate hits a crucial turn

By David Klepper The Associated Press

PROVIDENCE, R.I. — A flurry of activity in efforts to legally recognize gay relationships or ban same-sex marriage is reminding advocates that even though polls indicate growing acceptance, the debate is far from settled.

Rhode Island is pondering a proposal to allow civil unions, a compromise that arose after it became clear there weren’t enough votes for marriage. Min-

Bulletin wire reports BELGRADE, Serbia — Serbian officials vowed Saturday to track down all those who helped hide Ratko Mladic and other fugitives, but their prime interest now is to get the former Bosnian Serb general packed off to the war crimes tribunal in The Hague, which could happen Tuesday.

Bruno Vekaric, the deputy war crimes prosecutor here, said Mladic was in relatively good health, aware of his surroundings, talkative and even emotional, tearing up when talking about his children. “He understands everything,â€? Vekaric said in an interview. â€œâ€Ś My impression is that there is no problem for a trial.â€?

Mladic’s family and lawyers, he said, were exaggerating his health problems in order to delay extradition.

Mladic is expected to appeal the extradition order Monday, Vekaric said, with a threejudge panel likely to rule on the appeal by Tuesday. Security services will transfer Mladic to The Hague, he said, discreetly to avoid public demonstrations or violence. Serb authorities have stepped up security ahead of today’s nationalist rally opposing the extradition.

Liquor Continued from A1 The vote to extend the surcharge was originally to take place in May, but that was delayed, according to OLCC spokeswoman Christie Scott, after a representative from the distillery industry, Greg Sellers from Beam Global Spirits & Wine, presented testimony.

Sellers wouldn’t comment for this story. “He gave compelling testimony. It was very effective,�

Scott said. “The commissioners wanted to have time to ponder the points he had brought up, and that’s why they decided to postpone.�

According to the OLCC’s May 20 meeting minutes, Sellers presented information on what he perceived is an imbalance between the taxation of beer and liquor. For example, he told the commission, a case of beer is taxed at about 19 cents, while just the surcharge for a case of liquor costs $4.50.

He told commissioners in the meeting that the distillers didn’t challenge the surcharge in 2009 because the funds “would help the state, liquor agents and the restaurant industry to benefit from funding OLCC to maintain the current service levels,� and with the understanding the surcharge would be temporary.

The tax on beer — 8 cents per gallon — hasn’t increased since 1977. Only the Legislature can increase the beer tax.

During the Friday meeting, OLCC Executive Director Steve Pharo told the commissioners that the $29 million the surcharge will provide is important to the state. “That’s pretty substantial, and the state certainly needs the money,� Pharo said. “The market has held up very well under the surcharge we currently have in place.�

Chairman Philip Lang called the Friday meeting because of budget considerations. “The reason for the special meeting is that essentially the Ways and Means subcommittee in the Legislature has decided to hold our budget hostage until this was adopted,� he told the commissioners.

Commissioner Ron Roome, a local attorney with Karnopp Petersen LLP who has served on the OLCC since 2009, agreed with Duarte. “I’m mystified why we haven’t had a beer tax increase in Oregon for 30 years, and yet one portion of the industry is involved in this 50-cent surcharge,� he said. “It’s a difficult decision, but ultimately we need to support the governor and the governor’s budget.�

nesota lawmakers voted to put a constitutional marriage ban on the ballot, and the mayor of New York spoke out strongly in favor of same-sex marriage Thursday as talks continue in his state.

Gay marriage is allowed in five states and D.C. Several other states offer civil unions or, as Oregon does, domestic partnerships instead. Three states enacted civil unions this year.

The debate continues to rage in several other states.

Minnesota lawmakers voted

a week ago to put a constitutional prohibition against gay marriage on the 2012 ballot. Voters in 29 states have already added similar amendments, and gay marriage supporters hope to make Minnesota the first state to reject such an amendment. “It’s a changed debate in Minnesota and in the nation,� said Monica Meyer, executive director of OutFront Minnesota. “I’m hoping we can ride that sea change.

But we know we have a very big challenge in front of us.�

lifestyle and has plans to get married — eventually. “I think a lot of people make a mistake of saying, ‘I’ve got a good job, I’m stable, I’m ready to take the next step,’� Leung said. “You never know what happens down the road. That’s the whole purpose of dating. You’re not there to just have fun.�

The median age for first marriages has climbed steadily since the 1960s, when men got married at about 23 years old, and women at 20. Now, men are waiting until they’re 28, and women are holding off until 26. “Some of that is people coupling but not being married,�

Rynerson said. “There are not nearly as many people in their 20s who are married as in previous generations.�

The numbers support that, as the Census Bureau reported last year that opposite-sex unmarried couples living together jumped 13 percent from 2009 to 7.5 million.

People are also living longer, with an average life expectancy of 78 years, nearly a decade longer than in the 1960s.

To reflect the changing attitudes on marriage, the Census Bureau has broadened the definition of a family this year to include unmarried couples, such as same-sex partners, as well as foster children who are not related by blood or adoption.

And attitudes on marriage are changing, too. About 39 percent of Americans say marriage is becoming obsolete, according to a Pew Research Center study published in November, up from 28 percent in 1978.

Oregon is about average when it comes to the declining number

of households led by married couples and reflects the larger nationwide trend.

It’s also a state that represents much of the ups and downs of the 2000s: There was population growth during the decade from Hispanics, a decline in the state’s manufacturing sector and an economy in Central Oregon that was crushed by the crumbling housing market and the recession.

The state to buck the decliningmarriage trend is Utah, where 61 percent of households are led by married couples. On the opposite side of the spectrum is Louisiana, which has the second-lowest percent of married people heading households. Louisiana State University sociologist Troy Blanchard said rural and urban poverty plays a major role.

A decade ago, only six states and the District of Columbia were approaching the 2010 trend and had less than half of their households led by married couples.

Nationwide, Blanchard said, labor markets’ gender disparities are beginning to equal out, allowing more women into professions that had been closed to them for decades and pushing down the number of households led by married couples. “We’re far from stopping,�

Blanchard said. “Until we see that eradication of the gender barrier, I would anticipate (situations other than marriages) to get higher and higher.�

A firefighter searches for survivors in a devastated Joplin, Mo., neighborhood on Saturday. The numbers look increasingly bleak since last week’s monster tornado: The city has raised the death toll to 142, and state officials say 100 people are still missing. The tornado, packing 200 mph winds, was the deadliest since 1950.

Getting tornado death tolls to zero 5PSOBEP EFBUIT

By Henry Fountain New York Times News Service

Tornado experts had seen it all before: whole neighborhoods obliterated, big-box stores flattened, even a hospital badly damaged.

But what really shocked them about the powerful storm that struck Joplin, Mo., last week was the toll in lives: more than 125 and counting. “We thought we were done with the 100-dead tornadoes,� said Thomas Grazulis, a tornado historian in St. Johnsbury, Vt. “With warnings and Doppler radar, there was a lot of feeling that we were done with this stuff.�

Experts are not sure yet why the toll was so high. Forecasts were made and warnings were issued, and this was an area, in the heart of Tornado Alley, where people knew what to do to protect themselves. “But something didn’t work the way we’d like it to,� said Harold Brooks, a research meteorologist with the National Severe Storms Laboratory in Oklahoma.

Experts say there will always be deaths when a strong tornado scores a direct hit on a heavily populated area. The question — for all disasters, not just twisters — has been how low casualty figures can go. “The fundamental characteristic of a major disaster is that there is going to be loss,� said Dr. Irwin Redlener, a professor at the Mailman School of Public Health at Columbia University and director of the National Center for Disaster Preparedness. “The goal of preparedness is to make that loss as minimal as possible, to optimize survival.�

The most deaths During the 20th century, strides were made in optimizing survival from tornadoes. In the early part, yearly deaths from twisters in the U.S. averaged a little less than 2 per million of the population, or about 200 per year in the 1920s.

Beginning that decade, as awareness of the dangers increased and forecasting technologies were developed and improved, the death rate declined by an order of magnitude, reaching about 0.2 per million in the mid-1990s, or about 60 people per year.

Since then, Brooks said, it has leveled off, and while no one is certain why, researchers think the rise in mobile-home living is one reason. Lightly built and poorly anchored, mobile homes can be death traps in the extreme winds of a tornado.

This year, with more than 500 deaths already — including about 320 in an outbreak of several hundred tornadoes across Alabama and other states in late April — is an aberration, experts said, much like 1974, when there was a similar outbreak, and 1953, when strong tornadoes hit three cities: Waco, Texas; Flint, Mich.; and Worcester, Mass. All of last year, only 45 people died, and in 2009 the number was 21. The toll next year is expected to be more like those figures than this year’s.

Brooks said the timing of the storm last week — 5:30 p.m. on a Sunday — may have had something to do with the 100-plus deaths. He compared the Joplin event to a tornado that struck Oklahoma City in 1999 and killed about one-fourth as many people.

That twister hit after 7 p.m. on a Monday, when most people had settled in for the evening. “That’s not a bad time to get information to people,� Brooks said. But in Joplin, he added, “late Sunday afternoon, maybe there’s some issues with communication going on.�

Joplin was the fact that a high school graduation had occurred that afternoon, and more people were out and about. And many people ended up in large stores, which tornado warnings say should be avoided because of the strong risk of collapse.

Too many warnings?

While the tornado forecasting system works well, Brooks said, “we have to work on finding ways of communicating the messages better.� And there is the possibility of issuing so many alerts that people become inured to the danger. Jasper County, where Joplin is located, receives many tornado warnings every year. “We’ve had no evidence in the past that people were overwarned,� Brooks said, “but we don’t know what the threshold of that is.�

Beyond any improvements in forecasting and communication, getting even closer to zero deaths would require additional steps, said Stephen Flynn, president of the Center for National Policy, a Washington research group that studies preparedness issues. The destruction and deaths at the Joplin hospital, he said, pointed to one: replacing conventional windows with safety glass. “Are you going to do that for a raised-ranch house?� he said. “No. But for a hospital facility where people are vulnerable, yes. And is that a huge cost issue? No.�

But other efforts, like building community shelters for people in mobile-home parks or in areas with slab housing that lacks basements, can be costly.

Beyond that are other considerations. In the case of community shelters, Brooks said, “you need to make sure that the shelter is open when people need it, but make sure it’s not open all the time, where your neighborhood pervert can do something in it.� Potential liability issues have forced many communities to abandon the idea of group shelters, he said.

Individuals can always build shelters for themselves, and one of the truths about natural disasters is that afterward, many people rush to make safety precautions they had ignored before.

Grazulis said that no doubt some people would rebuild their homes and include storm shelters, which can cost about $5,000 or more. “But I bet Joplin will not be hit again for a hundred or a thousand years,� he said. “The people that build these shelters — generations are not going to have to use them.� Instead, the next disaster will happen elsewhere. “The next town that needs them,� Grazulis said, “has no idea it needs them.�

Unmarried Continued from A1 It’s a trend that’s been creeping along for decades, but in the 2010 census, married couples represent 48 percent of all households. That’s down from 52 percent in the last census and, for the first time in U.S. history, puts households led by married couples as a plurality. “I see a lot of people not having the typical 8-to-5 job, or couples where one person is employed and one isn’t. There’s other priorities before marriage,� Leung said.

The flip in the 2010 census happened in 32 states. In another seven states, less than 51 percent of households were helmed by married couples.

The reason, said Portland State University demographer Charles Rynerson, is twofold: The fast-growing older population is more likely to be divorced or widowed later in life, and 20somethings are putting off their nuptials for longer stretches. “People in their 20s are postponing marriage for many reasons, including money,� Rynerson said. “We also have an aging population, so there’s more people living alone.�

Fears of not being able to hang onto a job, a widening labor market for women and a shift away from having kids at a young age have all proved to be a disincentive for people in their 20s and early 30s to join the ranks of the married.

Leung is indicative of that trend. She’s got a marketing job in a trendy city, writes a personal blog on living a gluten-free

Q

I can’t wait for summer. I love to get out in the sun & tan. I’ve had Permanent Makeup applied to my eyebrows & wondered if it’s okay to tan my face?

UESTION:

A NSWER : We are all looking forward to warm weather & tan skin looks so good, BUT NO!!! Technically, Permanent Susan Gruber, Certified Permanent Cosmetics are considered permanent Cosmetic Professional because the color is implanted into the dermal layer of the skin & cannot be washed off. However, as with any tattoo, fading can & often does occur, requiring periodic maintenance, color re-enhancement or color re-freshing. Also as we age, the sun is not your friend. Check with any Dermatologist to assess the damage the sun can produce not only on our bodies but especially on our faces.

COSMETIC DENTISTRY QUESTION: My child sucks his thumb. I’m not sure if I should discourage it or should I try to replace his thumb with a pacifier?

ANSWER: Thanks for the great question. Thumb sucking is a developmentally harmful habit that is increasing in its prevalence. To understand why a child desires to suck his thumb requires some background into the developmental needs as well as the environmental impact.

The suckling reflex is initiated just prior to birth and serves Kelley Mingus, as a mechanism to provide nutrition to the baby. Proponents of breast feeding believe that the suckling reflex is enhanced D.M.D. when the child isn’t meeting their nutritional needs.

Regardless of the reason, a child with an enhanced suckling reflex will commonly get satisfaction from a digit, most commonly the thumb.

Sucking on the thumb can and will cause serious developmental growth problems in the face. The onset of these problems begin as soon as the thumb sucking starts but may not be revealed for years, although the damage is done. Prevention of the habit as soon as it starts is critical to avoiding growth problems later. The use of a pacifier can be an option in preventing thumb sucking. It must be noted that you cannot use just any pacifier. An orthopedic pacifier such as a “NUK” style is preferred. Some pacifiers will have the same effect as a thumb.

The results of thumb sucking can cause serious problems and have impacts that last far beyond the thumb sucking years. Thumb sucking will almost always have a negative impact on ones airway and can even be linked to sleep apnea resulting in life threatening conditions later in life. I would recommend prevention of thumb sucking with the use of an approved pacifier.

QUESTION: In an otherwise healthy individual, what causes the nose to drip when eating soup, out skiing, or bowing head to brush teeth or look down?

ANSWER: Rhinorrhea or nasal drip is caused most commonly by allergies or viruses. What you are describing is positional rhinorrhea which is somewhat rare. This can be caused Kevin Rueter, by a variety of things including excessive M.D. nose blowing, history of sinus surgery, trauma, or nasal mucosal defects which cause small amounts of cerebrospinal fluid to leak into the nasal passages. The fluid leakage becomes more pronounced with positional changes or changes in intracranial pressure, such as when you bend forward or exert yourself (skiing). I would suggest speaking with your primary care physician to discuss testing of the secretion with a Beta-2 transferrin test. A CT scan or MRI of the sinuses and facial bones is also indicated in this case.

Conservative treatments such as bed rest and less frequent nose blowing are recommended as well but, ultimately, referral to otolaryngology for surgical correction may be necessary.

QUESTION: How do lasers remove tattoo’s?

ANSWER: The RevLITE laser removes tattoo ink with the

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.

Becky Carter 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.

PHYSICAL THERAPY QUESTION: I would like to exercise more but am afraid to. It seems like every time I start an exercise program I hurt myself. I have some back and knee pain that always gets in the way, and yet if I don’t start exercising, people tell me it will just get worse.

ANSWER: Just starting a generic exercise program doesn’t work for everyone. Physical Therapy is a great way to get you started, safely. Your Allison Suran, physical therapists will thoroughly evaluate your PT, GCFP posture, strengths, weaknesses, tight muscles and movement patterns to determine what you might be doing that is causing your problem and interfering with your efforts for exercise.

Then, your physical therapist will prescribe very specific exercises for you. Your P.T. will help monitor your progress with what works, and sometimes what isn’t working, and guide you on a path to wellness so that you can engage in regular exercise that is invigorating and not causing more problems.

Physical Therapy is usually covered by your health insurance, and although your physical therapist can treat you without a physician’s order, most insurances require an order from your medical practitioner. This can include an MD, DO, Naturopathic Doctor (ND) (Nurse Practitioner (NP), or Chiropractor.

Marjon Faivre, L.Ac., Dipl. O.M.

Yes it can! We have many patients coming in for treatment of other conditions that list an autoimmune disorder as a secondary complaint.

They are often very surprised to find out that Chinese medicine can treat such conditions. The most commonly seen disorders are lupus, rheumatoid arthritis and fibromyalgia.

Due to the extremely complicated nature of these disorders, the sooner we are able to begin treatment the better the prognosis. Many of the patients coming in for treatment have often had the conditions for 10 or 20 years. Particularly with the aspect of the disease that affects the joints, regular acupuncture treatments are often able to stabilize the condition and therefore alleviate pain. With the use of herbal medicine, lifestyle and diet changes, we can fully address the disease and its underlying causes so that the flare-ups become less frequent and the severity of the pain decreases.

The frequency of treatments depends on how long you’ve had the disorder.

Due to its chronic nature, weekly treatments with herbal medicine for several months will likely be necessary. If you’ve been recently diagnosed, we may see results sooner than if it is chronic. With a growing number of people suffering from autoimmune disorders in our society, many are looking for alternative ways to feel better and once again be able to do the things that they enjoy.

Before adding the words “Bend city councilor” to his résumé, Scott Ramsay was a businessman. As such, he’s had his share of run-ins with the city.

Ramsay is a part owner of the Sun Mountain Fun Center on Bend’s north side. He also owns Casarama, a small antique and vintage furniture store on Northeast Division Street.

When he wanted to tear down a building next to Casarama and re-

develop it several years ago, he hit a snag. The city wanted him to build a concrete median in the roadway. It also wanted him to move a fire hydrant and gift some of his property as a setback for future road improvements.

Added together, Ramsay said the cost of all that work, including the fees, would have been close to $500,000. It was at that point, he said, he decided to abandon the project.

“I’ve gone through the process of remodels and business development

and found the process to be pretty difficult and quite daunting,” Ramsay said. “It was like a series of roadblocks that you had to face or jump over, and each time you had to jump over a roadblock, there was a fee.”

For this reason, he likes a new initiative the city has undertaken to try to revamp its image. It no longer wants to be perceived as an aloof naysayer or stodgy user of red tape. Instead, it wants to appear more friendly to businesses.

CARRYING ON A CULINARY TRADITION

By Lauren Dake The Bulletin

HOW TO CO N TAC T

SALEM — It was 1981 when Brenda Comini, not long out of college, was appointed to the Juvenile Services Commission in Crook County.

And she was on the commission as it morphed into the Youth Services Commission in 1989.

Thirty years later, Comini remains involved with what has now turned into the Commission on Children and Families.

And after this legislative session, the name and mission of the Oregon Commission on Children and Families, a state agency, could change again.

“Every legislative year is a new adventure,” said Comini, now the executive director of the agency’s Crook County branch.

This session, lawmakers are looking at doing away with the commission altogether and replacing it with an Early Learning Council that would target children through 5 years old and consolidate agencies in an effort to coordinate programs.

Abolishing the state agency has the regional commissions wondering what the future will look like. Deschutes County Commissioner Tammy Baney, who is on Gov. John Kitzhaber’s 27-member team working on the changes, is pushing hard to maintain the regional offices.

Baney said if she were reading the tea leaves, regional commission staffs would shrink and one executive director would be charged with overseeing several counties. Now, every county has its own branch. Funding comes from a variety of sources and varies for each regional office. In many cases, the bulk of funding comes from the state. Some counties also contribute, and the regional offices are able to pull in grants.

“It’s been so frustrating because our system in Deschutes County works really well,” Baney said. “There are other areas in the state where the commissions aren’t the same, and some elected officials don’t feel the same way we do.

Washington Week WASHINGTON — The House of Representatives passed a Defense Authorization bill Thursday, giving the Department of Defense the $553 billion it had requested for its budget for the fiscal year 2012. The measure also approved $119 billion for ongoing operations in Iraq and Afghanistan. The budget contains funding for tank upgrades and an increased outlay for Special Operations Forces.

President Obama has threatened to veto the bill because of language that limits the president’s ability to implement the START treaty, a nuclear arms control agreement between Russia and the U.S.

U.S. House • DEFENSE AUTHORIZATION BILL Passed 322-96 on Thursday.

Rep. Greg Walden, R .................................................................Yes Rep. Earl Blumenauer, D ............................................................No Rep. Peter DeFazio, D ................................................................No Rep. Kurt Schrader, D ................................................................No Rep. David Wu, D .......................................................................No

Both Oregon senators questioned the last-minute passage of the four-year extension to key provisions of the Patriot Act, which President Obama signed Thursday night (using an autopen) just minutes before it was set to expire.

Sen. Ron Wyden, D-Ore., who is a member of the Senate Intelligence Committee, spoke against the matter on the Senate floor during the curtailed debate on the measure.

“When the American people find out how their government has secretly interpreted the Patriot Act, they will be stunned and they will be angry. And they will be asking senators, ‘Did you know what this law actually permits?’ ‘Why didn’t you know before you voted on it?’ The fact is that anyone can read the plain text of the Patriot Act, and yet many members of Congress have no idea how the law is being secretly interpreted by the executive branch because that interpretation is classified,” he said.

“It’s almost as if there are two Patriot Acts, and many members of Congress haven’t even read the one that matters. Our constituents, of course, are totally in the dark. Members of the public have no access to the executive branch’s secret legal interpretations, so they have no idea what their government thinks this law means.”

Kevin Nguyen, of Vancouver, Wash., throws a snowball at his father Saturday at Timberline. Epic snowpacks in parts of Colorado, Utah, Wyoming, Montana, Idaho, Oregon and California are forcing many tourists to abandon the annual rites of launching their summer holidays with a camping trip. Others plan to take advantage of prolonged skiing and snowshoeing this strange spring.

Commission Continued from B1 “It makes for a hodgepodge of feelings around something locally we value a great deal.”

The commissions are often made up of a mix of volunteers and paid staff. Describing what the local commissions are charged with can sound vague: They target a community’s needs, raise money and start conversations. They serve as the community mobilizer among nonprofits, churches, the schools and business community. They also administer funds for the programs, such as Court Appointed Special Advocates.

“They are meant to be (the ones who start) the conversation that springs into action,” Baney said.

It’s easier to point to what they’ve accomplished. In Jefferson County, the commission helps fund the local afterschool kids club. It was also instrumental in establishing the county’s first relief nursery, which works to prevent child abuse and neglect.

In Deschutes County, Baney said the commission was behind starting Mary’s Place in Bend, a place where parents without custody of their children can visit them under supervision. It often serves people who have been victims of domestic violence.

And their missions change with the community.

In Crook County, which consistently has one of the highest unemployment rates in the state, Comini said the focus has changed with the recession, putting a stronger focus on issues surrounding poverty.

“The system has had to be somewhat fluid and deal with and address the issues for children and families for a particular time in our state,” Comini said. “Poverty didn’t use to be as big of an issue as it is now with our high unemployment rate.”

Rep. Tina Kotek, D-Portland, who is behind House Bill 3086, first put in her bill that local commission offices would be abolished by July 1, 2012. She’s working on an amendment that would remove that lan-

Washington Continued from B1 Sen. Jeff Merkley, D-Ore., released a statement after the extension passed, 72-23, criticizing the lack of public discussion. “America was founded upon the principles of liberty and freedom, and while we undoubtedly need to ensure our law enforcement and intelligence officers have the tools they need to keep us safe, we cannot sacrifice our Constitutional rights as American citizens,” he said. “I am outraged that the expiring provisions of the Patriot Act have been extended with little to no scrutiny and little opportunity for amendments or debate. These provisions give broad authority to access our personal information, including phone, e-mail, and library records, in secret, with virtually no checks or balances. The government won’t even tell the American people how it interprets these provisions, or whether it sees any limits on its authority at all.”

The House voted to extend the Patriot Act by a vote of 250 to 153.

Wyden also publicly announced that he was placing a hold on the Preventing Real Online Threats to Economic Creativity and Theft of Intellectual Property Act, known as PROTECT IP, blocking it from being considered. A hold is a mechanism by which a single senator can prevent the senate from acting on an issue or legislation. Wyden explained his action by saying, “I understand and agree with the goal of the legislation, to protect intellectual property and combat commerce in counterfeit goods, but I am not willing to muzzle speech and stifle innovation and economic growth to achieve this objective. At the expense of legitimate commerce, (PROTECT IP’s) prescription takes an overreaching approach to policing the Internet when a more balanced and targeted approach would be more effective. The collateral damage of this approach is speech, innovation and the very integrity of the Internet.

“The Internet represents the shipping lane of the 21st century.

It is increasingly in America’s economic interest to ensure that the Internet is a viable means for American innovation, commerce and the advancement of our ideals that empower people all around the world. By ceding control of the Internet to corporations through a private right of action, and to government agencies that do not sufficiently understand and value the Internet, PIPA represents a threat to our economic future and to our international objectives. Until the many issues that I and others have raised with this legislation are addressed, I will object to a unanimous consent request to proceed to the legislation.”

Kotek said she believes in the local commissions’ importance in engaging the community. The question will be how will they fit in with the Early Learning Council, which would be established

by Senate Bill 909.

“How does community engagement look different compared to what’s coming out of the learning council?” Kotek said.

“In some ways, it’s exciting for local commissions to reassess what they are doing and move forward.”

ty’s commission, about the focus on early childhood is the possibility of ignoring other responsibilities of the commission.

“Early childhood deserves the attention it’s getting,” she said.

“The concern I have is, I don’t want it to be at the expense of older children.”

There is only a month left in the legislative session. But there are still a lot of unknowns.

“I’m (mostly) happy at this moment,” Baney said. “At this late stage of the process, community engagement, that core piece of what the commission system provides, is still on the table.

What I can’t answer is what it will look like.”

Light plane makes emergency landing CORNELIUS — A light plane pilot told firefighters he made an emergency landing in a grassy field near Cornelius after his plane’s engine lost power.

He was unhurt.

Cornelius Fire Department spokesman Matt Johnston said the pilot reported that he was trying to reach a nearby air strip Friday afternoon but couldn’t make it.

Johnston says the Cessna 152 came to rest a few hundred feet from where it touched down.

The Oregonian says the plane was not significantly damaged. The pilot was not identified.

Cornelius is located west of Portland.

The Associated Press OREGON CITY — A prosecutor charged Friday that an Oregon City couple watched a growth over their infant daughter’s left eye balloon into a golf ball-sized bulge but didn’t seek medical treatment because that conflicted with their religious practices.

In her opening statement, prosecutor Christine Landers said the child’s father, Timothy Wyland, told a detective that “sometimes God heals, and sometimes God lets children die.”

Timothy and Rebecca Wyland are members of the Followers of Christ, a congregation that relies on faith healing. They were charged with first-degree criminal mistreatment after the growth over their daughter Alayna’s eye went untreated until a court ordered her taken to a doctor.

Defense lawyer John Neidig told the Circuit Court jury that the couple are loving parents who became victims of overzealous child welfare workers at the Oregon Department of Human Services. He says the couple believed the growth would shrink and then vanish as their daughter grew.

The little girl, now 1½ years old, has improved under courtordered medical treatment for a hemangioma, an abnormal buildup of blood vessels. She remains in state custody but lives with her parents.

Rick Bowmer / The Associated Press

Timothy and Rebecca Wyland arrive at the Clackamas County Courthouse on in Oregon City. The couple are on trial for criminal mistreatment charges over court-ordered medical treatment for their infant daughter.

Doctors who testified at juvenile court proceedings last year said she would have lost vision in the eye if the condition was left untreated.

The eye is still not properly set in its socket, Landers said.

The state criminal mistreatment statute says it is a crime when a parent “knowingly withholds necessary and adequate … medical attention” from a child, the Oregonian reports.

Clackamas County Sheriff’s Deputy Emile Burley testified Friday that he made a child welfare check at the family home on June 29, 2010, and instantly noticed a “large bulging area” on Alayna’s left eye “the size of a golf ball, maybe a little larger.”

Defense lawyer Neidig said the parents had been assured by family, friends and even strangers that the mass would eventually vanish. A relative had a

similar growth that went away, Neidig said.

In the past two years, Clackamas County has prosecuted two other couples from the same church whose children died from untreated ailments.

Jeff and Marci Beagley were convicted of criminally negligent homicide last year and sentenced to 16 months in prison after their 16-year-old son, Neil, died of complications from an untreated urinary tract blockage.

In 2009, the Beagleys’ daughter, Raylene Worthington, and her husband, Carl Brent Worthington, were acquitted of second-degree manslaughter in the death of their young daughter, Ava, who died in 2008 of bronchial pneumonia and a blood infection. Brent Worthington was convicted of the lesser charge of criminal mistreatment and sentenced to 60 days in jail.

In Southern Oregon, Ryan Sandler of the National Weather Service told the Medford Mail Tribune that for the Memorial Day weekend, he and his family are not going to venture much beyond their garage, where they’re preparing for a yard sale next week.

The weekend, he said, is going to be nasty — Saturday’s temperature, for example, was nearly 20 degrees below the normal high of 75.

“If you are going to be in a tent, it probably won’t be comfortable,” he said.

East of the Cascade Range, onion and potato farmers in the Klamath Basin are two to three weeks behind planting schedules, said Brian Charlton of Oregon State University extension center.

“It’s a pretty big deal,” Charlton said. “Anything that delays normal planting dates puts us at a disadvantage.”

PORTLAND — Oregonians began a holiday weekend Saturday with cold, wet weather in many parts of the state, minor flooding in the Portland metro area and large numbers of fields still too cold and wet to plant.

The late spring is still producing wintry weather at higher elevations. The State Police say seven people were injured Friday night in a crash during snowy conditions on U.S. 26 near Mount Hood.

The National Weather Service said Saturday the Columbia River is still at about flood stage in Portland and Vancouver, Wash., and will be for days. Flooding is expected in low-lying areas such as parking lots and recreation areas.

Upstream in The Dalles, the Chronicle reported that flooding in Riverfront Park, scheduled to open Saturday, would keep it closed for the weekend.

PORTLAND — Oregon’s high court says a crime victim’s right to be present at court hearings is so important that one man’s sentence must be thrown out and a judge must re-sentence him so his victim can be there.

The Oregonian reported a victim’s right to be told of critical criminal proceedings was guaranteed by a 1999 voter-approved amendment to the state constitution. Voters clarified a remedy in 2008, and lawmakers put that in state statute in 2009.

In the case decided Friday, Linda Barrett had asked to be informed of important hearings in the case of her estranged husband, Ivey Wayne Barrett, of Beaverton, who was charged with stalking her.

Ivey Barrett unexpectedly pleaded guilty to misdemeanor stalking and was sentenced at a hearing Linda Barrett had been told she didn’t need to attend.

She asked the judge to re-sentence him in her presence but the judge declined.

The state Supreme Court disagreed.

BEND, IN 1961 …

Police search hills for burgled beer 100 YEARS AGO For the week ending May 28, 1911 FOUR GRADUATE With Dr. Fletcher Homan, president of Willamette University, present to deliver the address to the graduating class, the commencement exercises of the high school were held last Wednesday evening at the church. The auditorium, decorated especially for the occasion, was filled to capacity, many persons standing, and the program was interesting.

The address of Dr. Homan was an able one. He spoke for the most part on the value of good humor and the philosophy of laughter, and showed that he practiced what he preached by relating a number of anecdotes that convulsed his hearers.

The four members of the graduating class occupied places on the rostrum and delivered orations in a creditable manner. All were highly complemented by Dr. Homan. Lyle Richardson’s subject was “immigration,” Steve Steidl spoke on “The Place of Play,” Bruce Deyarmond on “American Industrial Education” and Max Richardson on “The Call of the West.”

Following Dr. Homan’s address Principal Harrington delivered diplomas to the graduates, announced the roll of honor and said a few words of farewell.

MEMORIAL PROGRAM Honor was done veterans of the Civil War in Bend yesterday by the suspension of business and the holding of Memorial Day exercises. A program was given at the church after which the graves of the heroes of battle at the cemetery were decorated.

The address at the church was delivered by Rev. W. L. Wilson, and talks were made by several comrades.

The business houses all closed in the forenoon, and many of them were decorated with flags and bunting. The banks were closed all day and the post office observed Sunday hours. Patriotic music for the exercises was furnished by the band.

SPEAKS ON TEMPERANCE A representative Bend audience heard Mrs. Jackson Silbaugh of Seattle, a national Women’s Christian Temperance Union speaker, discuss the temperance question at the church last night. Mrs. Silbaugh showed herself to be a forceful and fluent speaker, making an impressive talk. In the course of her address she referred to the recent cleanup of Seattle which has been credited to the women voters of that city.

Business Continued from B1 Over the past year, the city has implemented or continued a number of programs, such as tenant relocation assistance, which makes it cheaper for businesses to expand or survive in a down economy.

It’s also been updating its development code to make it less cumbersome and confusing. It has undertaken a similar revision of its design standards and specifications for public infrastructure, like roads and curb ramps, to ensure consistency and clarity.

But what city officials point to most are two recent developments they hope will create more jobs in Bend, in part by marketing it as a good place to do business.

The first is a change to the Bend Economic Development Advisory Board, which was formed in 2009 in response to the city’s decision to dissolve its economic development department.

That board, created under the Economic Development for Central Oregon umbrella, was made up of local business people who advised the city on ways to bring jobs to the community.

While it will perform many of the same tasks, starting July 1 it will be made up of individuals appointed by the City Council and will report directly to that body.

The board also will operate as a sort of city-operated thermometer in the business community to find out what issues people might have and how those can be resolved.

The second development in the city’s plan is the recent hiring of former Jefferson County Community Development Director Jon Skidmore as its official business advocate.

Skidmore, who has also worked as a private development consultant and planner for Des-

75 YEARS AGO For the week ending May 28, 1936 MIRROR POND DISAPPEARS SWIFTLY HERE Bend’s scenic mirror pond, over which geese, swans and ducks cruised at dark last night, had disappeared at sunup this morning and over its huge basin, marked by mudflats, tule islands and rocks, swiftly flowed the Deschutes River, back in its ancient channel. The strange mudflats, looking very much as if a devastating flood had swept through town, attracted hundreds of people today as augmented crews worked to sink concrete piers for the Newport Avenue bridge.

The mirror pond was drained at the request of the bridge contractors, to expedite the work of constructing the piers. The pond will remain waterless, except for the natural flow of the river, for about five days. In the meantime committees arranging for the Fourth of July water pageant are making a survey of the mudflats and owners of homes bordering on the basin are taking the opportunity provided by low water to repair retaining walls and construct boat docks.

Out near the west bank of the river, the “Queen of the Deschutes,” one of the entries in the 1935 pageant was mired in the slimy mud and some bets were being offered that the showboat would remain in the bottom when the natural lake is refilled.

The draining of the mirror pond is of interest not only to Bend, but to much of the state, for the river is ripping through the mudflats in the basin here, discoloring the water. It is believed that the river will be muddy over its entire length between Bend and the Columbia River. Portland is especially interested in the emptying of the huge pond, for a Memorial Day excursion of anglers from that city to the lower Deschutes was planned.

These anglers are to be reminded that the Deschutes above Bend will be perfectly clear over the weekend.

Wildlife took the draining of the pond as a matter of course today and were obtaining an abundance of feed on the mudflats. Clyde and Lela and their four cygnets approached dangerously close to the swift current just above the Newport Avenue bridge early in the day but later retreated to the tules near the Tumalo Avenue bridge and found refuge in a cove among

“I’ve been on both sides of the counter, so I understand what the city’s needs are and I understand what a business’ needs are.

I’m looking for a way to say, ‘yes,’ rather than say, ‘no.’”

— Jon Skidmore, business advocate for city of Bend

chutes and Clackamas counties, will be paid $85,000 a year to act as an ombudsman with the business community and as a guide for those looking to become a part of it.

He’s already been meeting with people who do business with the city to try to find out what their concerns are with how things operate today. What he’s found so far are some frustrations with the city’s processes that can make moving forward with a business plan more difficult than it needs to be.

Part of his job, he said, is to see if there’s anything that can be done to “tweak” these processes to find an agreeable solution that works for both the city and the business person.

“I’ve been on both sides of the counter, so I understand what the city’s needs are and I understand what a business’ needs are,” Skidmore said. “I’m looking for a way to say, ‘yes,’ rather than say, ‘no.’”

One idea the city plans to look at is whether it should eliminate a nearly $1,000 fee for a pre-application meeting, in a which prospective builders or business people can meet with city officials to figure out what steps they need to take before moving ahead with their project.

the tule islands. Geese and ducks strolled back and forth across the mudflats, between the swift river and Drake Park.

Some fear was expressed by sportsmen that all the young trout placed in the mirror pond last season will go through the spillway.

The draining of the lake today recalled for old timers of Bend the days before the power dam was constructed, when the Deschutes coursed through its natural channel. In those days, the Bend pioneers report, willows grew down to the water edge and fish were plentiful in the deep pools.

50 YEARS AGO For the week ending May 28, 1961 ‘FIRST BABY’ NOW FRIENDLY 10-YEAR-OLD Remember the honors accorded the first baby born at St. Charles Memorial Hospital in Bend when it was opened 10 years ago?

He was Joe Emile Sandoz, who will be 10 years old on May 28. Joe, a fine looking boy with a friendly smile, lives with his parents, Mr. and Mrs. Emile Sandoz at Santiam Junction Resort, just west of the Cascade summit.

Joe has one brother, David, and two sisters Evelyn and Mabel.

Joe now weighs 90 pounds and is four feet 10 inches tall. He is a blue eyed blond.

Incidentally Joe makes a 54 mile round trip daily in attending school — and he has had a perfect attendance record for his first four years in school.

When Joe was born at St. Charles Memorial Hospital, he was the recipient of many gifts offered by Bend merchants, and also received other honors.

THERE’S BEER IN THEM THAR HILLS! There’s beer in them thar hills!

Bend police agreed today that this is undoubtedly true, but that the total cases that might be “prospected” has been reduced by six.

Half a dozen of 24 cases recently stolen from the Haines Distributing Co. in Bend have been recovered.

They were found buried in the Lava Butte area.

Investigating officers believe that the missing 18 cases are buried in other spots, ready for recovery at some future date.

Theft of the beer from the warehouse was a break and entry job, better known as burglary, a penitentiary offense.

A number of suspects in the beer theft case have been questioned.

Skidmore also wants to create a business license database that can be used to find out what sorts of industry clusters exist in Bend, and provide that and similar information that might be helpful to people looking to start, improve or expand their businesses.

“There’s a lot of information and services that the city has and it’s just coordinating those so the businesses can benefit,” he said.

“It’s not real difficult stuff. It’s just providing access to information.”

Bend’s Chamber of Commerce has gotten behind the city’s desire to improve its business image, and in a statement Executive Director Tim Casey said he hopes the addition of Skidmore will help remove barriers for businesses.

Tim Knopp, the executive vice president of the Central Oregon Builders Association, said it’s sad the city has even gotten to the point of needing to hire a business advocate. “There has to be more interest on the city’s part to make this stuff happen,” Knopp said. “We want businesses to come here. We want businesses to expand here.”

Ramsay, who ran for office on a pro-business platform, believes the city has turned a corner in its treatment of entrepreneurs.

When Bend and its economy were growing rapidly, he says, city officials “had an attitude that they didn’t have to make concessions or sway at all in their decision making process. They knew that if it didn’t work out for you, the next person in line would jump through that hoop.”

But when “the economy crashed, it kind of forced the city into dealing with it, knowing that they had to encourage people to come here and create jobs instead of dragging this out.”

25 YEARS AGO For the week ending May 28, 1986 PLANE TOUCHES DOWN ON HIGHWAY Traffic was light on the Cascades Lake Highway when Bruce Gilbert had engine trouble and it’s a lucky thing too — Gilbert was driving his Cessna 172 airplane.

Gilbert’s engine started “sputtering and running rough”, so he and his wife, June, scanned the forest below for a place to land.

“When we looked down and saw no cars on the highway, I landed on a straight section near Cultus Lake turnoff, and pulled as far off the road as possible.”

Gilbert said he didn’t have time to relish his successful landing because he had to jump out of the plane and help direct cars around the yellow 1968 Cessna.

Minutes later, a sheriff, an ambulance and a fire truck from La Pine arrived at the scene to escort the plane as it taxied about two miles down the center of the highway to a safe turnout.

Gilbert praised the emergency personnel who came to his aid and was very grateful to a family who came upon the stranded plane and gave his wife a ride to Sunriver. Gilbert stayed and waited for a mechanic to arrive.

Terry and Carol Virgin were fishing along the banks of the Deschutes when they looked up and saw the airplane and its escorts pull into the turnout, where they had parked their car.

“I knew he would expect me to be surprised, but I just walked up to the pilot and told him that people will do almost anything to come to this forest and fish,” said Virgin, an assistant recreation staff officer for the national forest.

Bob Bristow, a mechanic for Resort Air Inc., in Sunriver, said a fouled spark plug caused the problem.

John Sieberts, owner of Resort Air, arrived with new spark plugs. Because a Resort Air mechanic had worked on the plane, Sieberts insisted on flying it into Sunriver in case the plane had any more trouble.

At about 5 p.m., the Cascade Lakes Highway became an airstrip again. Sieberts roared the Cessna’s engines and took off, with the wing tips barely missing the limbs of the pine trees that lined the road.

The Gilberts’ ill-fated flight was scheduled to go from Creswell to Sunriver, where they planned to spend the weekend with friends.

School cuts out food waste, with help of hungry pig

By Sara Hottman (Klamath Falls) Herald and News

CHILOQUIN — Theodore’s favorite foods are apples, carrots and bread. He’ll eat egg shells and banana peels, but he really doesn’t like citrus peels.

Theodore’s tail predictably wags feverishly in anticipation of the food scraps that, with an unappetizing “sploosh,” are slopped into his dish.

Theodore is a potbellied pig at Sage Community School, a Klamath County School District charter school near Chiloquin.

He was born on the first day of school and moved in about two months ago, said school director Sandra Girdner.

Now he spends his days meandering around the school’s garden and being doted upon by students and teachers. But his real purpose — and favorite part of his day, kids said — is eating two buckets of lunch scraps each day, effectively eliminating the school’s food waste.

Abbey Peterson, 13, pitched the idea. Her family gives food scraps to their potbellied pigs, and she thought it would be a good way to take care of the lunch waste from the school’s 77 students, aged kindergarten to eighth grade.

Community donates She and Sam Ekstrom, 13, recruited donated materials from Grange Co-Op; Peterson’s dad built the pen; the Henley High School shop class built a shelter; and the charter school’s 4-H club painted it white with green trim.

Ekstrom and Edgar Ortega, 12, took the waste-reducing initiative a step further by building a compost pile next to Theodore’s pen.

The kids have their daily pig care routine down, Girdner said. Peterson taught the other kids how to care for Theodore.

Now they, with the help of some younger grades, take turns feeding the pig, cleaning the pen, and turning the compost.

“It helps (students) learn responsibility,” Girdner said.

“These four show leadership and responsibility to the younger kids. Then some of the younger kids see that leadership and responsibility and they think it’s cool and want to be in on it too.”

Steve Rutt, 66, inventor in early video animation New York Times News Service

Sculptor Stephen De Staebler dies at 78 New York Times News Service Stephen De Staebler, a sculptor whose fractured, dislocated human figures gave a modern voice and a sense of mystery to traditional realist forms, died on May 13 at his home in Berkeley, Calif. He was 78.

The cause was complications of cancer, said Jill Ringler, his studio archivist.

De Staebler found his medium when he met the pioneering ceramist Peter Voulkos at the University of California in the late 1950s. Impressed by the expressive possibilities of clay, he began making landscape-like floor works.

Steve Rutt, an engineer, inventor and artist whose early video animation system made images expand and contract and leap and dance, and in so doing helped propel the video-art revolution of the 1970s, died May 20 in Manhattan.

He was 66.

The cause was pancreatic cancer, said his daughter, Victoria Rutt.

With Bill Etra, Rutt developed the Rutt/Etra video synthesizer in 1972. An analog device that lets the user manipulate a video signal in real time, it offered a means of producing animated images and special effects long before the advent of digital video technology.

The device was used by some of the most notable video artists of the period, including Nam June Paik.

After meth crash, restaurateur starts over Drug addiction strips away Burrito Boy co-founder’s posh life

By Diane Dietz The (Eugene) Register-Guard

EUGENE — Three years ago, John Ramirez turned his back on everything he’d built.

Gone was the Burrito Boy restaurant chain that brought him wealth. Gone was the 2007 Mercedes he drove about town.

Gone was the house on tony Brookview Drive.

There was no more golfing with Lane County’s creme de la creme.

“I was a member of the Eugene Country Club, the Shadow Hills Country Club and the Springfield Country Club all at the same time. Imagine that. I was so spoiled,” Ramirez said.

But that was the least of what his methamphetamine addiction took from him.

Ramirez’s wife, Raquel, divorced him. He went eight months without seeing his four children, and now he can see them only for a couple of hours a week under supervision.

“I don’t wish him bad, but I don’t wish him any good either,” Raquel Ramirez said. “I guess I’m still a little bit bitter.”

John Ramirez had a spectacular fall — equal only to his spectacular rise 20 years ago. It’s a riches-to-rags story that has left people who have known the Ramirez family over the decades shaking their heads.

Now, John Ramirez is starting all over again, clean of drugs.

Grew up in East L.A. The story began 50 years ago in East Los Angeles, where John Ramirez grew up in an alcoholsoaked, violence-prone family.

Ramirez said his parents pushed their children to steal — for example, wearing coats to a grocery store and coming out with loaded pockets.

Drugs were plenty, John Ramirez said, and he used amphetamine and marijuana.

As a teenager, Ramirez dropped out of school and worked in the family construc-

tion business. In his mid-20s, he started his own construction firm, made money but spent some of it on cocaine.

Then he met Raquel Melendrez, who had no use for drugs or violence.

Raquel’s father was an alcoholic who she said beat her mother every week. When she left home she didn’t want any part of that chaotic life.

In 1991, when Raquel was pregnant with the couple’s first child, the pair loaded up a 1963 Impala and hit the freeway north.

“I wanted something better for my family, if I was going to have a family,” John Ramirez said.

Eugene felt right, he said. They stopped and stayed for good.

Ramirez said he was off drugs and focused on family and business.

They started Burrito Boy as a food cart near the Downtown Athletic Club. The couple named their venture after how their newborn son looked wrapped in a blanket: like a burrito. “It was so perfect,” John Ramirez said.

The couple pioneered street corner fresh Mex in Eugene, where the only other Mexican food was heavy, cheese-laden, sit-down restaurant fare.

The couple used Raquel’s name in all their dealings, so John’s past financial obligations wouldn’t catch up with them, a later court filing said.

The couple built their cart business steadily until 1993, then opened their first restaurant on River Road, where they found nearly explosive demand for taqueria fare.

“The first day we sold $160.

The second day it was $300. The next day it was $600, and it went up to $2,500 a day really fast,” John Ramirez remembers. “I remember sitting there hyperventilating and telling myself I can only do one (burrito) at a time.

It’s all I can do. I was just going, going, going.”

They made enough money that Raquel could stay home with their growing brood.

John Ramirez started new Burrito Boy restaurants. He launched as many as 20 over the years.

He sold most of them to inlaws, employees or friends. Some of the restaurants he sold became the Burrito Amigos chain

John Ramirez works in the kitchen at Burrito Bandito in the Gateway area of Springfield earlier this month.

Ramirez, who started the successful Burrito Boy chain with his wife, was banished from the business because of his methamphetamine addiction three years ago.

in Eugene and Springfield and Los Faroles in Springfield.

“He’s got pretty good ideas of what to do. Business is also a little bit of luck, and he’s pretty lucky,” said Cristobal Davalos, who eventually managed the Burrito Boy chain for the Ramirezes.

Business earns millions Ramirez got the big house, the status car, the private schools for his kids. Burrito Boy had gross receipts of $3.2 million in 2006, court records show.

But soon after the turn of the century, Ramirez was once again tempted by drugs. He started using on weekends at first, but it was years before his closest associates, including his wife, knew.

Davalos said the first clues — in about 2004 — that something was wrong were subtle.

“He was on top of everything.

He’s one of those guys who wants everything right. He was always checking the flavor. He was always tasting the food,” he said.

But Ramirez started losing a lot of weight.

He was high on meth — by snorting, smoking or injecting it — from 2004 to late 2010, he said.

“I did meth every day. I’d spend $2,000 a week on meth,” he said.

“I moved over here to get out of

it. Now that I was here, and making so much money, I didn’t really have to get out of it.”

John left his home and bought another house to live in. He maintained daily contact with his children, he said.

“I used to show up, but I wasn’t really there. When you’re high you’re high. I don’t care what anybody tells you. You’re not with your kids. You’re not with your family. Your mind’s off,” Ramirez said.

The drug use was hurting Burrito Boy, Raquel Ramirez said.

“There were days when the manager would call me and say, ‘We don’t have enough money to make payroll.’ I’m thinking what do you mean? What’s going on?”

In February 2008, she stepped in, fired John Ramirez “for drug use and unauthorized financial withdrawals” and began running the restaurants herself, according to court records.

John Ramirez spun off into a methamphetamine nightmare marked by jagged cycles of threats, restraining orders, arrests and jailings. He saw the inside of the Lane County Jail for the first time at age 47 and has been in and out of it 11 times since, according to jail records.

He was convicted once each of fourth-degree assault and methamphetamine possession. But most of the arrests were related to encounters with his wife.

By then, John Ramirez had a girlfriend, Shelley Lemke, and they were fighting, too. He filed for a restraining order against her, alleging: “She said her friends would tie me up and kill me when I sleep and then get my kids,” court records show.

Lemke filed a restraining order against Ramirez, alleging: “He told me he wanted to spend the rest of his life with me. He moved me in and now he tells me the locks have been changed.”

Chain given to wife In the divorce, the judge awarded all the Burrito Boy restaurants plus the name and the logo to Raquel. However, he required her to pay $600,000 to compensate John for his half of the business. The court allowed her to keep $300,000 of the $600,000 for child support up through the children’s 21st birthdays.

John Ramirez began his recovery from methamphetamine last July, upon release from six weeks in Lane County Jail.

He remembers telling his probation officer, “I’m a drug addict, and I want your help. I want off this.”

It took months, but the probation officer got Ramirez into the Emergence outpatient recovery program. Now he goes to meetings with his girlfriend three or four nights a week.

Living clean Ramirez said he’s free of meth.

“I’ve been 100 percent clean going on four months. But I’ve been clean, except for a couple times, since last July,” he said.

His probation officer, Larry Everson, agrees. “He is in compliance,” Everson said. “He’s doing well.”

Ramirez has passed urine analyses on a couple of Wednesdays, which is a court-ordered prerequisite for him to see his children the succeeding Saturday.

For $250,000, he bought a house in the country with a half-dozen acres. He financed the purchase by giving the property seller a promissory note for $210,000, according to Lane County records.

And he opened a burrito shop — Burrito Bandito — on Gateway Street in Springfield, across from the post office.

He feels his life is coming together, but he faces significant obstacles to business success.

Ramirez tried to use the Burrito Boy logo — a donkey — but altered it a little by putting a mustache on it. It was up for just two days before Raquel Ramirez’s lawyer made him take it down.

“He is not in any way allowed to refer to the Burrito Boy as his own,” she said.

Restaurant suppliers are still wary of Ramirez, Davalos said.

The Gateway restaurant isn’t finding the instant success that most of Ramirez’s earlier taquerias enjoyed. He’s scheduled to get his final Burrito Boy settlement check of $93,792 in July, and he’s trying to hold on until then.

“It’s getting better every day,” he said. “It started off with $150 a day. Now we’re doing $300. It’s not a whole lot. We need to have 600 or 700 bucks a day.”

OREGON ZOO Pete, in the foreground, munches on straw in his enclosure at the Oregon Zoo. The zoo’s longtime black rhino, Pete has a new counterpart, Zuri, whom the zoo hopes he will want to mate with.

Rhino romance heating up

By Katy Muldoon The Oregonian

PORTLAND — A massive steel gate slides open and through it slips Pete, 2,405 pounds of burnin’ love machine.

He lopes confidently toward floor-to-ceiling bars that separate animal enclosures, reaches his horn through and touches it to the pointy end of the Oregon Zoo’s most fetching newcomer, another black rhinoceros named Zuri. Her ropy tail swishes.

Fan yourself if you must because there’s likely more rhino romance on the way.

Pete and Zuri have been able to see one another from afar since she arrived in April on a breeding loan from Cleveland Metroparks Zoo; the two recently had their first chance to tap horns from side-by-side cages, as they did Thursday.

As each grows accustomed to the other’s leathery face, and if they seem calm and amenable, keepers soon will give the big beasts increasing access. They’ll get the run of the warren of enclosures inside the rhino barn and eventually roam the grassy outdoor exhibit space or wallow together in a muddy pit.

Previous mate died For Pete, that sort of “From Here to Eternity” moment has been a long time coming. His last mate, Miadi, died in 2005.

This time around, it’ll be one

of those May-December affairs.

Zuri, whose name is Swahili for “beautiful,” is 3 and hasn’t bred before. Pete, 24, is a grandfather yet remains spry.

The zoo tried to truck in a mate from Kansas City in 2008, but the effort ended disastrously when the animal died en route. This time, a FedEx cargo plane quickened the journey and Zuri arrived without incident. She remained in quarantine until last weekend.

After her brief interaction Thursday morning with Pete, she went on public display for the first time. Those who saw her in the outdoor yard witnessed one big-boned gal. At 2,623 pounds — 218 more than Pete — she’s all rough ridges and sinewy muscle.

“She’s nice and solid,” says animal curator Gilbert Gomez. “She’s got really good body condition.”

She snuffled through the damp grass, puffs of vapor rising from her snout as she fished for pieces of fruit keepers dropped.

She yanked small branches off trees, disposing of them down her gullet as easily as a gas-powered chipper makes quick work of yard debris.

Visitors will be able to tell the difference between Pete and Zuri by taking a close look at their horns. Pete has rubbed his top horn smooth and sometimes it carries blue paint from his enclosure’s steel bars. Zuri’s top horn is pointier and has two distinct ridges in front.

Plus, she’s plain prettier, in a

sort of prehistoric way.

Black rhinos aren’t actually black, but gray-brown. Zuri’s sides and flanks carry lighter color patterns that look like something like lichen.

Native to eastern and central Africa, the species is among the world’s most endangered. Habitat loss and poaching are blamed for its steep decline, from 65,000 animals in 1970 to fewer than 3,700 today.

68 in N. American zoos North American institutions belonging to the Association of Zoos and Aquariums hold 68 black rhinos, 37 males and 31 females. Six male and seven female calves have been born since 2006.

In the wild, rhinos are solitary except when they come together to mate.

In the past, the Oregon Zoo kept pairs together, but keepers later found the animals breed more successfully if males and females are separated, only sharing space periodically.

The first time these two head outside together, keepers will stand nearby with hoses, air horns and fire extinguishers — tools to distract the animals if they spar to the point of injury.

Gomez figures the two, eventually, will hit it off.

“She’s a great addition to our collection,” he says, “and breeding will help out the captive population.”

BABIES ON BOARDS

Research shows traditional method of swaddling infants, long used

by Warm Springs mothers, has many benefits

Chasing close encounters in a bear’s world

By Ted O’Callahan New York Times News Service

She gave a chuff and pulled up short, as surprised to see us as we were to see her. Her dense, fluffy fur was blond. I watched her square, expressive face very closely because this bear — maybe 300 pounds and 10 yards away — would be the one deciding how the encounter played out. An adrenaline-driven voice in my head said, “This could go badly.” But it was also telling me how incredibly thrilling it was to be so near this animal. Not being on top of the food chain certainly heightens one’s awareness.

We were four people and a dog tucked against a slope, partly hidden by waist-high grass. The bear looked and sniffed for almost a minute, trying to decide what she had come across. Then she pivoted onto a trail and moved away, choosing flight over fight. I was grateful for that; an older male might have stood his ground.

It was the second day of a bear-watching trip on Kodiak Island in Alaska, the largest landmass of the nearly 5,000-square-mile Kodiak Archipelago south of the mainland, and the exclusive home of the Kodiak bear. Our guides, Harry and Brigid Dodge, didn’t seem overly concerned about the close call; it was a young female bear, they explained later, maybe 3 or 4 years old, curious and scared, but with easy escape paths and no food cache to protect.

“If it had been a bigger male we would have been backing away,” Brigid said. “We wouldn’t have let him get that close.”

A female Kodiak bear wanders through grass on Kodiak Island in Alaska last year. Kodiak Island, the largest landmass of the nearly 5,000-squaremile Kodiak Archipelago, is the exclusive home of the Kodiak bear, a subspecies of brown bear and one of the largest in the world.

SPOTLIGHT Redmond properties make list of endangered historical places

Amy Suppah, 29, of Warm Springs, works on her baby board for her child, who is due in about four weeks. She performed some of the work with a sewing machine, but also did some stitching by hand to make the seams stronger and the craft more personal. She also made a hand-beaded decoration for the bow with horses, a rainbow and the baby’s last name.

By Heidi Hagemeier The Bulletin

WARM SPRINGS — or Warm Springs tribal elder Millie Colwash, women have always carried their infants in beadadorned baby boards.

Colwash’s grandmother rode a horse with infants in baby boards hanging off the saddle on both sides. Her mother, Colwash recalled, dug roots on the hillside with a baby board strapped to her back.

All eight of Colwash’s children slept in baby boards, graduating to larger sizes throughout their first year.

Now once a month Colwash, 74, helps expectant and new mothers make their own baby boards, also called cradle boards, in a two-day class at the Warm Springs Health and Wellness Center. She teaches young women who perhaps have never threaded a needle how to stitch the cushion, where to place the padding for appropriate support and how to lace the tiniest of babies into enclosures as snug as the womb.

“As far as I can remember, our ancestors have told us never, ever to abandon this,” Colwash said. “And we haven’t.”

The effort upholds tradition, but it also has new relevance in today’s world.

After centuries of eschewing the use of swaddles or boards, modern medicine is recognizing value in these practices.

Two Redmond properties were recently designated Most Endangered Places by the Historic Preservation League of Oregon.

One is the Petersen Rock Garden, a roadside museum and attraction at 7930 S.W. 77th St. The other is the Kirk Whited Farmstead, 2087 S.W. Helmholtz Way. Built in the 1930s and ’40s, the Petersen Rock Garden is notable for its unusual types of rocks and structures made from rocks across four acres. It made the list due to vandalism, theft and general need of maintenance.

The other property consists of a barn and home built by botanist Kirk Whited starting in 1907. The farmstead was recently included in Redmond’s expanded Urban Growth Boundary. According to a Preservation League news release, the property is for sale and at risk of demolition to make way for development.

Both properties were nominated by citizens and are on a list of 10 such places across the state. The Historic Preservation League of Oregon is an organization devoted to advocating for preservation of historic places.

Share stories about fatherly advice

These two baby boards are available for sale at The Museum at Warm Springs. The bow arching over where the infant’s head rests not only protects the baby but is decorated to provide entertainment. And modern themes are now often incorporated into baby boards, such as the fabric in the board at right depicting the lead character from the movie “Cars.”

‘Perfect’ husband may be hiding secret Dear Abby: My husband is gentle, romantic, strong, kind and considerate. He’s the “perfect 10.”

The problem is, I think he has an “afternoon delight.”

He’s home every night and tells me every day that he loves me. We have been married many years.

We’re young at heart, but not so young in years. I’m not asking for advice, because leaving him is not an option. The signs have been there, and I have proof. Our home life is good. I just want to understand why this has been going on.

Do some men need more than just marriage?

— For Better or Worse, Trenton, N.J. Dear Better or Worse: There is a name for men who need more than just marriage. They are called bachelors. Married men who stray are known as cheaters and adulterers. If your husband has someone on the side, then the surest way to find out why it’s happening is to inform him the jig is up, explain that you have proof, and demand an explanation.

Dear Abby: It has been a long time since I’ve told a man I’m interested in him or that I really like him. What advice could you give me to keep me from feeling like an idiot and saying the wrong thing?

He’s a special guy and I don’t want to screw this up.

— Nervous in Reading, Pa. Dear Nervous: Do it gradually.

Start out by describing the qualities he has that you find special — his sense of humor, his intellect, his style of dress, his wonderful manners, how kindly he treats others. Another time, tell him how much you enjoy his company, and how comfortable you feel with him because of the things you have in common. Tell him he looks wonderful if he makes the extra effort.

Paying compliments will get your message across. Unless he walks around with his head in a bucket, he’ll understand what you’re trying to convey. Trust me.

Dear Abby: My husband and I

DEAR ABBY recently found out that I am pregnant. We have decided to wait until I have completed my first trimester before telling family and friends.

We are friends with a couple who is having a difficult time getting pregnant, and we want to be sensitive to their feelings. We attend the same church and we plan on announcing our pregnancy in church. Do you think we should inform the couple privately? If so, what should we say?

— Friends in Texas Dear Friends: The thoughtful thing to do would be to approach the couple shortly before you make the public announcement and tell them that you will be announcing the pregnancy in church — but because you are so close, you thought they should know first.

Dear Abby: Three months ago, my boyfriend, “Doug,” gave me a promise ring. I was proud and happy to show it to everyone. But Doug’s parents, siblings and his three children don’t know he has given me the ring.

It feels odd that he’s keeping this milestone of our relationship a secret. He says it’s because he’s a private person and doesn’t tell his family about his personal life.

What do you think about this?

— Secretly Promised in Portland, Maine Dear Secretly Promised: I think Doug may not yet be ready to settle down. Or, he may have strained relationships with his family. Before this romance goes any further, you need to be very clear on exactly what Doug is “promising” because this scenario doesn’t ring true from where I’m sitting.

Tracing relics and Civil War echoes

By Neil Genzlinger

Iconic Civil War locations like Gettysburg will get their share of screen time in the coming months, but so will lesserknown stories and characters.

New York Times News Service

The big names — Fort Sumter, Gettysburg, Lee, Grant — are getting much of the focus during television’s Civil War spring and summer, as they always do when this pivotal conflict comes up. But to mark the 150th anniversary of the start of the war, the programming that resumes with a burst this weekend and continues over the next several months also has much smaller things on its mind: a child’s doll, an aging tintype, a faded letter. And it is those things, 19th-century artifacts elevated to new prominence by a 21st-century television trend, that provide some of the clearest reminders of what the war was really about and how it remains with us today.

Finding new ways to look at the war is, of course, a sort of Ken Burns effect — an effort to clear the bar that Burns set so high in 1990 with his miniseries “The Civil War.” Burns, for one, doesn’t think the form is dead.

“I think there are still stories to be told,” he said. “The Civil War is such a watershed moment, the watershed moment in the childhood of our country.”

Yes, there are limits on such documentaries — there’s only so much you can do with still photographs and diaries — but that doesn’t mean there can’t be innovation.

“It just forces us into new relationships with photographs, new relationships with voice, new relationships with narrative,” Burns said.

Several shows last month marked the anniversary of the shelling of Fort Sumter, which began the war in 1861. But the History channel has two big-ticket specials timed to Memorial Day: “Gettysburg,” on Monday, which

relates the story of that battle by telling, in graphic detail, the stories of eight participants, and “Lee & Grant,” on Tuesday. “Lee & Grant” sticks with the familiar template to illuminate the decisions of those two generals, who — evidence of the hazards of working this oft-visited territory — were recently given the same treatment by PBS’ “American Experience” series. But both History and PBS have also found a different path into the Civil War, via series they already had up and running.

‘With a little h’ It’s a genre that might be called detritus history: programs like “History Detectives,” “American Pickers” and “Pawn Stars” that focus on individual artifacts and their tales. This week History is showing themed episodes of “American Pickers” and “Pawn Stars” that concentrate on Civil War paraphernalia, and over the next several months “History Detectives,” an addictive series now in its ninth season, will offer several segments with Civil War roots. These programs often do a better job of remembering what the war was really about and pinpointing why it is still relevant

“A lot of people say Americans don’t like history, they don’t know anything about their history,” said Wes Cowan, one of the five “history detectives” (he is president of Cowan’s Auctions in Cincinnati) who hunt down the stories behind artifacts brought forward by viewers. “I would argue vehemently that that is not the case.

“They may not know the kind of college history that you and I got in our survey classes — the kind of broad-brush history that I like to refer to as history with a big H. But every family has some item in their house that connects their family to the broader events of American history. And I like to refer to that as history with a little h. The Civil War sword, the World War II scrapbook, the Coke bottle that Grandpa got when he started working at the Coke factory — those kinds of stories are what interest Americans.”

One such story, due for broadcast July 12, starts out as a simple records search but ends up going right to the heart of the ugliness of slavery and the emotions it engendered. A stamp collector, in a stash of materials he purchased, finds some letters, one from a

Union soldier to his brother inquiring about a commission, another from a comrade of that soldier informing the brother that his sibling had been wounded.

By the time the “History Detectives” folks run the tale down, they are not at Gettysburg or Antietam or one of the other marquee battles, but at Poison Springs, Ark., where in April 1864 a Union foraging expedition ran into Confederate forces. The Union troops included the 1st Kansas Colored Infantry, which had in it some former slaves. When the Confederates won the day, the white Union soldiers who were wounded were taken to a Confederate field hospital, but not the black troops.

“For the 1st Kansas Colored Infantry, the real nightmare began after the battle,” Mark Christ, a Civil War historian, says in the episode. “As the Confederates approached through the battlefield, they shot any wounded men that they saw. If you were an AfricanAmerican soldier, wounded, it’s very unlikely that you would have survived this battlefield.”

That, in a gruesome microcosm, drives home the consequences of an institution that labeled one race as property. The nation had to shed a part of itself that was indefensible on moral grounds, and doing so was going to be traumatic.

LUCKY Lucky is a sweet 7 year old Chihuahua that was brought to the shelter because his owners were sadly unable to continue to care for him. He is a very nice little guy that loves to go for walks or just play around at the house. Lucky has never been around other dogs or children before and will require an adult only home. If you think you have the perfect place for this little guy to call home then come by the shelter and adopt him today!

Harry and Brigid Dodge, left, own Kodiak Treks, a small outfitter specializing in low-impact bear-watching trips. Getting to their lodge from the town of Kodiak takes a 45-minute flight.

Two Kodiak bears wrestle on sedge flats on Alaska’s Kodiak Island. Male Kodiak bears are capable of growing to 11 feet tall and 1,200 pounds.

Bears Continued from C1 Still, a bear encounter like ours is something the Dodges try to avoid. As the owners of Kodiak Treks, a small outfitter specializing in low-impact bear-watching trips, the goal is to be a neutral, unseen presence — to see, as Brigid puts it, “bears respectfully in the wild.”

There are certainly other ways to watch bears in Alaska, from half-day bush-plane-based trips to packages that wrap bear viewing in with sport fishing or stays at high-end wilderness lodges. Some of the best-known bear watching spots are on the mainland just across the Shelikof Strait from Kodiak. During a strong salmon run, you’re all but guaranteed to see dozens of brown bears fishing side by side not more than 30 yards from you during the hour your ticket allows you and 39 other people onto a viewing platform.

But that wasn’t the sort of experience I was looking for.

The 45-minute flight from the town of Kodiak to the solar-powered lodge owned by Kodiak Treks on the southern end of the island would have been the highlight of most Alaska trips. The scale of the place — lush and green in the summer — starts to sink in from a few hundred feet up in the air. With clouds capping the mountains, we tracked the coastline and the bush pilot pointed out whales swimming the channels and a “ladder” where countless bears, following exactly the same route to climb a steep knife-edge ridge, had worn treads into the vegetation.

We landed in a cove on Uyak Bay where the photographer Kim Hubbard and I were greeted by the Dodges. Harry, wearing hip waders, provided piggyback rides over the gap between the plane’s pontoon and the beach. Brigid, blond Viking braids emerging from her knit cap, welcomed us as she wrangled their black Lab, Reuben, a squirming mass of eagerness even at 10 years old.

We were fed sandwiches and rhubarb cake and fitted with our own hip waders. Then we piled our gear into the Dodges’ 20-foot aluminum skiff and motored deeper into the bay. Uyak is the longest bay on Kodiak — a sliver of ocean that cuts more than 30 miles into the western side of the island. It runs so far inland that at its back there are views of the

Two-thirds of the 100mile-long island is a national wildlife refuge, and the human population of 13,000 is low enough that the bears face few natural threats or competition for food. interior mountains: sharp, snowcovered peaks forming a spine running most of the island’s 100mile length.

After nearly an hour of being sprayed and bounced by choppy seas, we pulled onto a headland and into bear country. As soon as we stepped out of the boat the signs were unmissable: paw prints in the mud, more through the forest, scat the size of hubcaps wherever we went.

Bear-adise Cut off from the mainland for the last 12,000 years, Kodiak Island is something close to paradise for bears. Two-thirds of the island is a national wildlife refuge, and the human population is low enough (around 13,000) that the bears face very few natural threats or competition for food. Such advantages have allowed Kodiak bears — a subspecies of brown bear — to become some of the largest in the world, with exceptional males capable of growing to 11 feet tall and 1,200 pounds.

The island also offers a special opportunity for observing such bears, at least for those willing to rough it. With few amenities and challenging terrain, Kodiak Treks does everything it can to immerse visitors into a bear’s world.

Previous to this trip I had spent a total of about 14 months in the Alaskan wilderness over the course of nine summers, primarily leading backpacking and sea kayaking expeditions for the National Outdoor Leadership School.

I’d seen wolves, moose, caribou and a few grizzly bears — all at a comfortable distance. To keep those distances comfortable I had learned to alert animals to my

presence by reflexively making noise whenever I came to a rise, entered brush or rounded a river bend.

But that’s the opposite of what Kodiak Treks wanted us to do.

The idea, as the Dodges explained while we explored a sedge flat on the bay’s northern shore, wasn’t to scare the bears away but to move through their habitat in a way that let them ignore us. So as we walked beaches, forded creeks and even bushwhacked through alders, we were as quiet and unobtrusive as possible. When we spotted a bear, often at a distance of 200 or 300 yards, we moved only as close as cover and a favorable wind allowed.

In nine years working in Alaska I had seen six bears. On my first day on Kodiak I saw nine.

By the time we returned to the boat, the bay had stilled. We crossed it to set up camp among some trees on a bluff — two tents and a small campfire. A short distance away, tucked out of sight, was a simple pit latrine, an open wooden frame with a toilet seat propped on top and a roll of toilet paper in a Ziploc bag. Reuben was served his kibble as we waited for the Coleman camp stove to boil water to rehydrate our freezedried pasta primavera. Although Kodiak never gets truly dark in the summer, it has extended sunsets, which lingered through our dessert of cookies and cocoa.

The Dodges offer three- and five-day trips, which can either be heavy on the camping or not.

They speak with every potential client to make sure the physical challenge, low-impact approach and uncertainties of wildlife viewing are all well understood. “We haven’t ever had a trip where

people didn’t see bears,” Brigid said. “You never know when it might happen. We don’t want to give people the impression that this is the Garden of Eden and we are bear whisperers.”

The lodge and three guest cottages, while not luxurious (there is no running water), are cozy and allow visitors access to a homemade sauna, which is a simple shed with a stove, a large bench and a galvanized metal tub for bathing. Meals are simple and include ingredients gathered from the wild or from the Dodges’ garden. That might mean fiddlehead fern tempura or salmonberry syrup for pancakes.

Our second day began with a slippery walk across kelp-covered rocks along the shoreline. Passing

a bank eroded by storms, Brigid pointed out something protruding from the exposed earth: a very weathered human skull and a jawbone not far away. Kodiak has been inhabited for over 7,500 years and there are countless unstudied archaeological sites on the island.

Centuries ago, Harry explained, salmon runs turned this area into a seasonal fishing camp. It was apparently busier then; in three days with the Dodges we didn’t see another person.

From the rocky shore, we followed a stream inland. Enormous stands of cow parsnip crowded the narrow bear trails, and their succulent stems broke as we moved through, releasing a pleasingly verdant stink. Merlins and

song sparrows flew past. We spotted a northern hawk owl silent in a snag. Sitka black-tailed deer crossed nearby river bars. A goldeneye duck with chicks circled a pond. With mountains climbing straight out of the water and eagles all around, it was almost preposterously majestic.

We settled onto a meadowy hillside for a lunch of apples and ham and cheese sandwiches that Brigid made crunchier with freshly gathered fiddlehead ferns. At the base of the meadow, a merganser and three chicks paddled past in a shallow creek. Then an eagle, which had apparently also been observing this domestic tableau from the bank, flapped twice and lunged.

A fresh fiddlehead fern, ham and cheese sandwich at Harry and Brigid Dodge’s camp on Kodiak Island. mussel beds accented with brightgreen sea lettuce, enjoying views of the mountains rising from the near and far shores.

Brigid agreed to stay with Reuben in the boat until the tide returned while the rest of us trudged to shore and settled on a treed hillside that would hide us from bears and the periodic rain showers.

By 9 o’clock or so we had spotted five bears that Harry identified as young adults (somewhere between 3 and 5 years old) on the flats. They were 300 or 400 yards

away, but the view was open. We spent the next five hours watching them.

It was like observing toddlers.

They randomly galloped across the flat chasing each other. They wrestled. Two seemed to be facing off to do battle until they dramatically collapsed into competing naps. Much of it was what gets edited out of wildlife documentaries, but actually being there, getting stiff from squatting on a tussock to witness little moments, let us see what it is to be a bear.

A Kodiak bear wakes from a nap on Kodiak Island. To avoid confrontations with such big males, who will generally stand their ground, bear-watching groups approach only as close as wind and cover allow.

From previous page The chicks submerged, but it was too shallow. The eagle held a little bird in one talon as it flew toward the far wooded shoreline.

The merganser and remaining chicks made a dash for deeper water. In just seconds, and without a pause, the family was one smaller.

The uncertainties of life in the wild showed up in other ways, too.

For all the bears we did see, there were probably many more that we passed unaware. As we finished lunch, what we had believed to be two logs on a gravel bar got up and wandered away. We spent the next few hours making our way along the periphery of the gravel bar taking our cues from the logs turned bears — moving when they did and settling in when they flopped down for a rest.

Close encounter By late afternoon we were ready to start back toward camp.

Retracing our route up the sloping meadow into the forest, we dropped onto a large sedge flat on our way to the shoreline. The new grass makes for nutritious, easy grazing, so it is popular with the bears, but it grows so tall that it can be hard to tell who is on the flat with you. Which is why we were startled when a blond head popped about 150 yards away — our first sighting of the young bear. We managed to get within 50 yards from her without being spotted. Tucking the camera tripod among alder branches to give it cover, we waited for her to pop her head up again.

Reuben usually napped during these prolonged periods of stillness, but a casual pet from Brigid set his tail wagging. She laid a calming hand on him that only increased the speed and vigor of the wags. I was sure that the thwacking of his tail, not to mention the hoarse coughs he started to make, would scare the bear off, but Brigid said that for some reason bears accept his presence the way they do the birds, deer and

The Kodiak Treks lodge provides cozy, though far from luxurious, accommodations to bear watchers. Guests have access to a sauna and metal tub for bathing but no running water. other animals.

Nonetheless, we decided not to push things. Leaving the young bear to the sedge flat, we found a small track along the edge of the woods, intending to get out of her sight to arc around and get back to the shore. But as we paused for a moment to check on her, she headed for our trail. We tucked ourselves against the hill, giving her the open ground, but within minutes there she was — just 10 yards away — nothing but grass between us.

The change in the Dodges’ demeanor underscored that there would be no “pause” button if things went wrong. They remained calm but became visibly more alert, whispering with each other and us as they assessed, made plans and contingencies.

In that instance, the young bear moved on, easing the tension, but blocking our planned route along the beach back to camp.

It was when we were figuring out an alternate path, our bodies starting to relax again, that a new bear emerged from a creek bed 200 yards away. Even to novice eyes, it was obvious from his battle-worn gait, the size of the shoulder hump and the sharp blockiness of his head that this was one of those big males that would stand his ground. The young fe-

If you go TRIPS FOR REAL CUB SCOUTS Flights from Anchorage to the city of Kodiak take about an hour. There are many flights each day, but extended weather delays are common, so it is good to build flexibility into any itinerary. It is also possible to reach the island through the Alaska State Ferry (dot.state.ak.us) from Homer or Whittier, though it is a nine-and-a-half-hour trip.

BEAR WATCHING Kodiak Treks (kodiaktreks.com) runs bear-viewing trips from June through mid-September. Salmon runs, which generally occur in Uyak Bay on Kodiak from July to September, typically offer the best chance to see the most bears in one area. Rates are $350 per person per night (singles are $375 a night).

Other bear-watching outfits to consider include Munsey’s Bear Camp (munseysbearcamp.com), which offers a lodge that supports boat-based excursions that typically combine sport-fishing and bear viewing.

A number of air taxi companies based in the town of Kodiak offer half-day bear-viewing trips. The Kodiak National Wildlife Refuge (kodiak.fws.gov) is also planning a bear-viewing platform on the O’Malley River for 2011 that could host 150 people over the summer.

male had seemed huge to me; this one was three times her size — a 900-pound male bear by Harry’s murmured estimate.

We didn’t move. As a safeguard against chance encounters going wrong, Harry carries a field-worn .338 Winchester rifle. Both he and Brigid also carry fireworks; they say that the combination of noise and flash can be more effective at scaring off an aggressive bear than a warning shot from a gun.

That said, the Dodges noted that they have never had to use either while guiding clients. They believe that the keys to safe viewing are being able to assess the size and attitude of a bear quickly and then to respond correctly to the many variables of a given situation.

In this case, we remained still and quiet, but the old bear stopped.

He stretched his neck, extended his nose straight into the air, and, with uncanny certainty, turned to look directly at us, apparently pinpointing our location by smell. He didn’t seem pleased.

The next thing we knew, he was heading off in the same direction that the young blond bear had taken. Facing the possibility of being pinned between the bears, with the young bear ahead of us and the older bear behind, we retreated uphill into the forest and began moving overland toward camp.

We hiked steadily for about 15 minutes, before finding a way down to the beach, where we fell into a single-file line. After the closeness of the tall grass and the thickets, the openness of the shoreline was a relief. At a waterfall we stopped to fill our bottles, gladly gulping down the cold snowmelt. Seeming to acknowledge the change, Brigid said, “It’s a different world. That is where they do what they do.”

On the morning of our third and

last full day in the wilderness, we moved slowly as we took down the tent. Though tired from long days, we were reluctant to leave.

We would be back at the lodge by midafternoon, and the next morning the Dodges would take us by boat to the outport of Larsen Bay to catch the mail plane, the first leg of our journey home. Lingering made us late.

Often being 10 minutes behind schedule doesn’t mean much, but we could actually see the tide ebbing as we apologized for not heeding Harry’s request to be at the boat by 7:30 a.m. We were only partway across the bay when it became too shallow to go farther.

We jumped out to push the skiff over a last skin of water, but the boat settled into the mud.

Rather than bemoan our plight, Harry set up the camp stove on the stern seat and prepared tea and oatmeal. Arctic terns and kittiwakes dive-bombed the shallows at the center of the nearly empty bay. We breakfasted surrounded by miles of mud flats and purple

An anesthetized cat, strapped down and with a heart monitor attached to her tongue, is about to undergo spaying at the Washington Humane Society’s CatNiPP clinic, which catches, spays/neuters and releases feral cats. Supporters of the program say it’s more humane than taking strays to shelters, where many will be euthanized, but the program has its detractors, too.

The feral debate: Do alley cats live a good life?

By Justin Jouvenal The Washington Post

WASHINGTON — The lowly alley cat has long been considered a hissing, stinking, brawling fur ball of trouble — something to round up and send to the pound before it fights with your house cat, leaves droppings in your flowers or tears apart your trash.

But a change has come to cities across the nation that might surprise anyone who has been kept awake by the yowling of an alley cat: A small army of volunteers is trapping feral felines, sterilizing them and returning them to the very alleys they came from.

The “Trap-Neuter-Return” approach has gone from an underground movement in the 1990s to an increasingly popular method of managing the nation’s feral cat population. Across the country, there are about 260 TNR programs, advocates say. Those who support it say it’s more humane than taking strays to shelters where most will be euthanized.

And that has touched off a cat fight.

Feline lover is pitted against feline lover. Veterinarians are divided. At least one major donor to animal welfare groups is withholding money. And the feral cats have a high-powered advocacy group spending millions to argue for TNR on their behalf.

The disagreement turns on a slippery question: Does the alley cat live a good life?

The Humane Society of the United States, the ASPCA and other supporters say the nation’s estimated 50 million to 150 million feral felines often live healthy lives. They also say TNR has added benefits: After a cat colony is sterilized, nuisance behaviors such as fighting and yowling are reduced, and the feral population stabilizes. Feral cats can keep rats in check, too.

Skeptics, including People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals and some veterinarians, argue the life of an alley cat is rarely pleasant. In many cases, they say it’s actually more humane to euthanize cats, rather than condemn them to a harsh life on the streets.

To make matters more complicated, TNR is the latest flashpoint in a long-running dispute between bird people and cat folks. Many wild bird groups blame feral cats for killing huge numbers of birds.

A researcher at the National Zoo’s Migratory Bird Center was charged with animal cruelty for allegedly poisoning stray cats here this month.

Rewarding work Marc Selinger, a volunteer who runs the cat-rescue group Rock Creek Cats, spent a recent weekend literally herding cats.

He trapped the feral felines at an industrial park in suburban Maryland and then drove into Washington for the monthly TNR clinic sponsored by the Washington Humane Society’s CatNiPP program.

“Trapping feral cats is not exactly glamorous work,” said Selinger, who says he’s trapped about 400 cats in five years. “But when you do it, you can really improve their lives. ... When I see their faces, I can’t not help them.”

Selinger refused to say exactly

JUMBLE SOLUTION IS ON C8

By Jacqueline Bigar Happy birthday for Sunday, May 29, 2011: This year, a lot happens quite quickly, and you often might feel that you don’t have the control you desire.

You can only control your reaction, no one else’s. Give up any thought of manipulation or power over others. If you are attached, you gain from being together more often. If you are single, a friendship could become more. Be careful, and don’t decide out of the blue that this is the one. TAURUS makes an excellent healer.

The Stars Show the Kind of Day You’ll Have: 5-Dynamic; 4-Positive; 3-Average; 2-So-so; 1-Difficult ARIES (March 21-April 19) HHH You finally know that there is a change coming. My dear Ram, you have been on quite a roll.

Stay centered. Don’t allow another person’s derogatory comments to get to you. This person’s criticism has more to do with his or her own issues. Tonight: Take another look at a parent or older relative. Your perspective is changing.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) HHHHH Finally, you are rejuvenated, feeling as if the world really is your oyster. Whether off at an artistic or musical production makes little difference — your mind takes off for its private never-never land.

Slowly but surely, you are clearing out any biased thinking. Tonight: So what if tomorrow is Monday?

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) HHH Know when to take your own advice and keep mum. The less said at the moment, the better off you will be. Investigate different options,

though you might not want to let others know just yet. A partnership is changing before your very eyes.

Tonight: Make it a duo.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) HHHHH You might feel somewhat pressured by circumstances.

Nevertheless, you are coming up with answers and solutions. A partner or loved one appears to be transforming in front of you. Make the experience exciting; get to know him or her again.

Tonight: Where the action is.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) HHHH No sign knows as clearly as yours what it means to be in the limelight. Laugh and relax with the company of friends, perhaps a coworker or two, and one very special person. Try to toss a little more responsibility on others. Tonight: A force to be dealt with.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) HHHHH Whether at a picnic, on the phone or watching a movie, a statement catches your attention, forcing you to think. What you might witness is a bias in your thinking.

The more you become aware of this issue, the better the opportunity to give up your blinders. Tonight: Opt for a very new experience.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) HHHHH Work directly with others, especially a partner or loved one.

How you expose yourself to different ideas makes little difference but permits more understanding and flexibility. One-on-one relating also helps you evolve to a more spiritual and caring level. Tonight: Go with a last-minute change.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) HHHHH Defer to others and

understand your limits, and perhaps verbalize them if need be. People rarely will walk on you if they understand your boundaries and your personal direction. Communication could take on a different tone as a result. Tonight: Go along with another person’s suggestion.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) HHHH Your easygoing pace could make a big difference, especially as you will encounter various different personalities during your travels. You might want to spend more time with family at a quiet, well-loved retreat.

Be aware of your spending. Tonight: Relax in a favorite fashion.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) HHHH You might want to revamp certain ideas that involve a loved one and/or a friend. You could choose to head in a new direction, if possible.

Please notice someone trying to encourage you to take a leap of faith.

Why not? Tonight: Enjoy the moment.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) HHHHH How you handle someone and the choices you make could be rather distinctive. You might want to be left alone, but to what avail?

Open up to new possibilities as you frequently request others to do.

Tonight: Easy night at home.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) HHHHH Speak your mind with the full expectation of being heard and appreciated. Sometimes someone pushes you way beyond your limits. You need to let others know when they have reached this point.

Otherwise, they won’t know. If this is the case, feel free to say “no.”

Tonight: Hang out with friends. © 2010 by King Features Syndicate

Kate LoBue cuddles a frightened feral kitten that was trapped and brought into the Washington Humane Society’s CatNiPP clinic. The kitten will be put up for adoption rather than released. where his recent catch came from — he feared someone might poison the cats or they might end up in a shelter.

As the clinic bustled around him, veterinary technicians, some clad in paw-print T-shirts, prepped the cats for surgeries at two stations. In a separate, glassenclosed theater, three veterinarians in full scrubs bent over catsize operating tables performing sterilizations.

A technician jabbed two of Selinger’s cats — a gray male with tiger strips and a black female — with syringes full of anesthetic.

The cats were then vaccinated for rabies and distemper.

“He’s scrappy — he’s only got a half a tail,” a tech said of the gray cat.

Once in the operating room, a clothespin-like sensor was clipped onto the female cat’s tongue, which measured her oxygen intake and heart rate. She was stretched out on a gurney and her splayed legs were restrained as if she was on a medieval rack.

As the sensor beeped, a veterinarian finished surgery in about 10 minutes. The male cat’s surgery was less involved — it only took two minutes. Both were a success; the cats’ ears were notched to show they had been sterilized.

The process was repeated again and again throughout the day — a total of 35 cats were neutered in a matter of hours. Last year, the clinic sterilized about 1,300 cats; 5,300 cats have been neutered since the program opened in 2007, officials said.

The clinic might not have come about if it were not for Becky Robinson of Arlington, Va., and the feral colony she stumbled upon in an alley on her way to dinner one night in 1990.

“They were these three, beautiful black-and-white tuxedos,” Robinson recalled. “I wanted to help them.”

Robinson, who was aware of trap-neuter-return programs in Europe, trapped the cats, got a veterinarian to sterilize them and then returned them to the alley.

Her name got around and she began helping other people trap and sterilize feral cats, locally and nationally.

Her efforts grew into Alley Cat Allies, a nonprofit organization that has been instrumental in pushing TNR. Allies has a $5.2 million budget and high-profile celebrity supporters including actress Portia de Rossi and comedian Paula Poundstone.

‘A slow kill’ Like Selinger and Robinson, Dana Madalon has a long record of working on cat-related causes, but she’s no supporter of TNR. The animal rights activist has spent 15 years volunteering in local shelters, organizing charity balls for animal causes, fostering cats and conducting pet-adoption counseling. She is also the president of the board of directors of the Sauk County Humane Society in Wisconsin, where her hometown is located.

Madalon, who sold a government contracting firm two years ago, said she has donated $50,000 to $80,000 a year to animal organizations. But she said she’s curtailed her giving to Washington Humane Society and the Animal Welfare League of Arlington. She said they do great work, but their support of TNR caused her to close her checkbook.

“The TNR folks are doing what’s right for them, not for the cats,” Madalon said. “If you really love an animal, you will do everything you can to ease suffering in its life. The life of a feral cat is a slow kill.”

She is supported by some veterinarians and what might seem an unlikely ally: PETA. PETA describes the life of a feral cat as harsh and supports TNR only under extremely limited circumstances: A cat colony must be isolated from roads, people, wildlife and be in a temperate climate.

PETA president and co-founder Ingrid Newkirk said practicing TNR in Washington amounts to “trap-neuter-abandonment.”

“(Baby boards are) a traditional method for dealing with some modern issues.”

Baby boards Continued from C1 Researchers say baby boards can calm colic and encourage longer periods of sleep, said Elizabeth Johnson, a registered nurse and the community health supervisor for the Confederated Tribes of Warm Springs. Used properly, they reduce the risk of Sudden Infant Death Syndrome, also known as SIDS. Health officials here teach women that the boards are a safe place to put an infant if they need to walk away and calm down.

And they may even help combat childhood obesity, Johnson said, by giving mothers an option to calm fussy babies instead of a bottle of formula.

“It’s a traditional method for dealing with some modern issues,” Johnson said.

For the women who gathered recently at the Warm Springs Center to construct their own, the boards are as essential a tool of motherhood as lotion and diapers.

“Unless she gets out of her blanket, she sleeps all night,” said Shyrelle Hurtado, who swaddles her 9-month-old girl and was working on her first board. “It provides a lot of comfort.”

While the women use sewing machines for the project, Col-

wash insists they do a portion of the stitching by hand.

“It gives them more meaning,” she said. “Then they can say, ‘I did this.’”

A longtime practice Johnson, a Warm Springs tribal member, slept in a baby board.

So did her children.

“That’s the way it’s been,” she said. “You’re going to have a baby, you need a board.”

Baby boards were essential when the tribes lived over a vast territory, allowing women to be on the move yet close to their children. Johnson and Colwash remember seeing women ride on horses with the board hooked to the saddle horn.

The type of baby board generally used by the three tribes of the Warm Springs Reservation traditionally had a band near the top that the woman would strap around her head to carry the infant.

For centuries, most cultures either swaddled infants or placed them in their own style of baby boards. But the practice fell out of favor among European cultures in the 1700s, according to an account in the medical journal Pediatrics, as doctors of the day believed the constraints prevented children from becoming strong.

While most Native American tribes traditionally made some form of baby board, some have since abandoned the practice.

Sisiley Scott, the maternal health coordinator for the Confederated Tribes, said she asked Colwash to teach her to make the boards to help other women. But when she was elected Miss Warm Springs and traveled to the Miss Indian World competition, she demonstrated the skill for the traditional talent category.

“Out of 25 women there, I was the only one who made a baby board,” Scott said. “A lot of people didn’t even know what they were for.”

Health benefits Over the last few decades, however, the concept behind swaddling and baby boards has been making a comeback, according to Pediatrics, the journal of the American Academy of Pediatrics.

The journal in 2007 did a review of research on swaddling.

It found that swaddled babies, with or without boards, startled less and therefore slept longer.

Babies that cried excessively were more likely to be calmed by swaddling than by massage.

And those swaddled and placed on their backs for sleep had a reduced risk of SIDS. Placing children in baby boards to sleep, Johnson said, also eliminates some of the other factors that doctors warn increase the risk of a SIDS death, like excessive bedding or stuffed animals in the crib.

The Pediatrics review also said no evidence exists suggesting that swaddling children affects their attainment of developmental milestones. The assessment did note that babies swaddled incorrectly could suffer from hip problems or with too many layers become too hot.

And placing swaddled babies on their stomachs increases the SIDS risk.

One of the most significant concerns for baby boards, Johnson said, is to make sure the mothers still always use car seats. She said health staff show a video at the start of the baby board class to underscore that point.

While the journal noted that swaddling is on the rise in Europe and the U.S. — the American Academy of Pediatrics says in a tip sheet that newborns can be swaddled from 12 to 20 hours

Colwash extolled other board benefits that come more from traditional lore than medical journals.

She was taught that the extra support under the knees and at the small of the back helps babies have better posture in later life, she said. Also, she added, mothers have long rubbed the legs of their children while in baby boards to prevent them from being bowlegged or having pigeon toes.

“The baby’s arms have to be perfect and legs have to be perfect,” she said. “It aligns all those things.”

There is a right way to both design a baby board and place a child in it, Colwash said.

The child lies on a mattresslike pillow with arms and legs on the side. Cloth or leather panels attached to the board lace up in the middle, keeping the limbs firmly but not too tightly in place.

At the top, another strip of cloth encircles the spot where the head rests. A bow of wood circles over the top and acts as both a roll bar and a place to

Making it their own Today the baby boards are a tradition continued with modern touches.

Johnson said they encourage women to use them through the first year, going through three sizes of boards. The children late in their first year usually use them only for sleeping. Yet she estimated the average use by mothers is about six months.

“It kind of fits the same timelines as when you stop nursing or wean from the bottle,” she said.

The women personalize the boards, as well. While the Warm Springs tribal government provides the materials for the baby board-making class, Hurtado, 27, brought her own blue fabric adorned with whales as well as ribbon in lavender, blue and white.

“I really love the ocean,” she said.

Taya Battistella looks as if a giant weight has been lifted from her, even if this is just a meeting over coffee.

The 31-year-old golf pro from Bend has always been friendly, funny and warm.

She still is, but now she seems at peace, too.

No wonder. For the first time since she finished her college golf career at Portland State University in 2003, Battistella has a place to call home.

GAINESVILLE, Fla. — Oregon lost to Florida for the second straight day in an NCAA college softball super regional, falling 7-0 to end the Ducks’ postseason run.

After losing 9-1 on Friday, the Ducks (42-16) needed to win a pair of games Saturday to advance to the College World Series. But the Gators (52-10) stymied the Oregon offense for the second straight day to take the bestof-three series.

Oregon managed just four hits in the game — all singles — while committing three errors in the field.

The Gators banged out eight hits, while Hannah Rogers pitched the completegame shutout.

EUGENE — Oregon won its second straight game over No. 6ranked Oregon State, taking a 41 victory Saturday at PK Park to lift the Ducks to their first series victory in the Civil War since UO baseball returned in 2009.

Aaron Jones knocked in three runs for the Ducks (32-26-1, 1016 Pac-10), who limited the Beavers to just one run and five hits for the second time in as many days. Jones delivered a double with the bases loaded in the third inning to provide the difference in the game.

INDIANAPOLIS — When Alex Tagliani leads the 33-car field into the first turn of the Indianapolis 500, he’ll be tugging along a century’s worth of triumphs, thrills and tragedy.

But in this, the 100th anniversary of America’s most famous race, the focus is clearly on the future.

The IndyCar series is showing signs of emerging from 15 years of irrelevance, a period of darkness that began with an open-wheel war between two feuding series and ended with a peace agreement hardly anyone noticed. The sport that produced such giants as A.J. Foyt, Mario Andretti and Rick Mears found itself relegated to niche status.

Athletes at the highest level of college sports could receive money for personal expenses as part of their scholarship packages if a trial balloon floated by the Big Ten becomes reality.

The idea of offering additional funding to cover an NCAA Division I athlete’s full cost of attendance — the money above and beyond just what’s paid to the university — has been a long time coming, advocates for student-athlete welfare say.

But still to be answered is how a plan could be implemented without inviting abuses, whether schools could come up with the extra funding and comply with Title IX and whether it would create a greater divide between the haves and have-nots in college athletics.

S B Cycling • Zabriskie wins fifth U.S. pro cycling time trial: David Zabriskie has won the U.S. pro cycling time trial championship for a fifth time. Zabriskie won Saturday’s title by 31 seconds, completing the 20.7-mile course in Greenville, S.C., in 40 minutes, 23.5 seconds. He won four titles in a row from 2006 to 2009 before sitting out 2010. Last year’s winner, Taylor Phinney, finished 50 seconds back in seventh place.

• Contador on verge of second Giro victory: Alberto Contador closed in on his second Giro d’Italia title Saturday in Sestriere, Italy, comfortably keeping his lead during a next-to-last stage won by Vasili Kiryienka of Belarus after a solo breakaway. Contador finished eighth to maintain his lead of 5:18 over second-place Michele Scarponi in the overall standings. Vincenzo Nibali is third, 6:14 behind. It will take a mishap for the Spaniard or a massive effort by Italians Scarponi or Nibali in the 19.5-mile individual time trial around the streets of Milan today to prevent Contador from winning.

Soccer • Messi’s Barcelona beats Manchester United 3-1 in final: Barcelona and Lionel Messi put their places among football’s all-time greats beyond all doubt Saturday as the Argentina striker scored one goal and created another in a 3-1 Champions League final win over Manchester United in Wembley, England. Barcelona dominated possession with trademark one-touch passing but, with Wayne Rooney having equalized Pedro Rodriguez’s first-half opener, could not force the crucial breakthrough until the Argentina striker conjured a 54th-minute solo strike from the edge of the area.

Lacrosse • Defense, goaltending sends Maryland past Duke: Niko Amato made 13 saves to anchor a suffocating defense and unseeded Maryland beat fifth-seeded Duke 9-4 on Saturday to reach the NCAA men’s lacrosse title game.

The Terps will play four-time champion Virginia in the finals Monday. Steele Stanwick had three goals and two assists, leading the seventh-seeded Cavaliers to a 14-8 victory over sixth-seeded Denver.

B asketb all • LeBron ‘gracious, humbled’ by Jordan comparison: Scottie Pippen said LeBron James may be basketball’s greatest player ever. Among those who disagree: LeBron James. The Miami Heat forward provided his reaction to Pippen’s comparison between James and Michael Jordan on Saturday, essentially saying he was flattered by the sentiment but simply does not believe he’s done enough to merit mention among the game’s highest echelon. “I’m not better than Jordan,” James said.

Auto racing • Vettel secures pole position at Monaco GP: Formula One championship leader Sebastian Vettel secured his fifth pole of the season after posting the fastest time in Saturday’s crash-marred qualifying session at the Monaco Grand Prix. Vettel’s fast lap of 1 minute, 13.556 seconds gave Red Bull its sixth straight pole, ahead of McLaren’s Jenson Button and Vettel’s teammate Mark Webber. Webber took the pole at last week’s Spanish Grand Prix, while Vettel took the previous four poles and already leads McLaren’s Lewis Hamilton overall by 41 points.

American League roundup

National League roundup

• Blue Jays 9, White Sox 8: TORONTO — Corey Patterson hit a game-ending homer in the 14th inning, Jose Bautista connected for his major league-leading 20th home run and Toronto beat the Chicago White Sox. Patterson, who tied a career high with five hits, led off the 14th with a drive to right off Gavin Floyd (5-5) for his third of the season. It was the fourth game-winning homer of his career.

• Indians 7, Rays 3: ST. PETERSBURG, Fla. — Shelley Duncan and Orlando Cabrera each had two RBIs, Carlos Carrasco pitched six solid innings and the Indians beat the Rays. Duncan, who was pinch-hitting, and Cabrera both had two-run singles during the eighth to put Cleveland ahead 7-2.

• Rangers 10, Royals 1: ARLINGTON, Texas — Mitch Moreland, Mike Napoli and Endy Chavez hit consecutive homers to match a club record and back Matt Harrison’s five-hit shutout pitching over six innings as the Rangers beat the Royals. Three straight Rangers homered for the fifth time in club history. It hadn’t happened since April 25, 2004, when Laynce Nix, Rod Barajas and Adrian Gonzalez went deep against Seattle.

• Twins 1, Angels 0: MINNEAPOLIS — Danny Valencia hit a bases-loaded single in the bottom of the 10th inning, lifting the Twins to a victory over Los Angeles after spot starter Anthony Swarzak held the Angels hitless into the eighth. Swarzak, a late fill-in on the mound for Francisco Liriano, gave up a one-out double in the eighth to Peter Bourjos for the Angels’ first hit. Liriano, who pitched a nohitter May 3, was scratched the day before because of shoulder soreness.

• Athletics 4, Orioles 2: OAKLAND, Calif. — Coco Crisp had two hits and drove in the go-ahead run to help Oakland beat Baltimore. Mark Ellis hit a home run and Josh Willingham and Kevin Kouzmanoff also drove in runs for the A’s, who have won four of their last five following a season-high six-game losing streak.

• Pirates 10, Cubs 0: CHICAGO — Paul Maholm pitched a three-hitter for his first victory in a month, Ronny Cedeno, Lyle Overbay, Chris Snyder and Andrew McCutchen each homered and Pittsburgh routed the Chicago Cubs 10-0. Maholm (2-7) got his third career shutout in a place he’s always pitched well. Maholm is 8-2 in 15 career starts against the Cubs, including 6-2 in 11 starts at Wrigley Field.

• Padres 2, Nationals 1: WASHINGTON — Tim Stauffer pitched seven innings for his first win of the season, Blake Tekotte had the first two hits of his major league career and the Padres beat the Nationals. Stauffer (1-3) limited the Nationals to four hits and a run — a seventh-inning homer by Laynce Nix — to win for the first time in 11 starts.

He struck out four and walked four.

• Brewers 3, Giants 2: MILWAUKEE — Pinchhitter Jonathan Lucroy’s bases-loaded suicide squeeze scored Ryan Braun with one out in the ninth, lifting the Brewers over the Giants. Lucroy’s well-executed bunt was out of the reach of pitcher Guillermo Mota. Braun easily scored and Lucroy began pumping his fists halfway down the line.

• Diamondbacks 11, Astros 3: HOUSTON — Zach Duke allowed three hits over seven innings and hit a three-run homer in his first game of the season, leading the Diamondbacks to a victory over the Astros. Duke’s first home run in seven major league seasons came in the Diamondbacks’ four-run fourth inning, a shot over the left field fence off Bud Norris (2-4).

• Phillies 5, Mets 2: NEW YORK — Ryan Howard hit a tiebreaking double in the eighth inning and Cole Hamels finally beat a familiar nemesis, pitching the Phillies past the slumping Mets.

Hamels (7-2) struck out a season-high 10 and walked none over seven innings to win his third straight outing and improve to 3-9 in 15 career games against the Mets. The left-hander had lost five consecutive starts against them.

• Rockies 15, Cardinals 4: DENVER — Chris Iannetta homered twice and drove in a career-high six runs and Juan Nicasio pitched seven solid innings in his major league debut as the Rockies routed the Cardinals. The hard-throwing Nicasio (10) surrendered just six hits and one unearned run after being recalled from Double-A Tulsa to make a spot start.

• Braves 7, Reds 6: ATLANTA — Chipper Jones’ single in the 12th inning drove in Jordan Schafer to give the Braves a win over the weary Reds. Brian McCann had four hits, including two homers.

Freddie Freeman also homered for Atlanta.

• Marlins 6, Dodgers 1: LOS ANGELES — Greg Dobbs and pinch-hitter Wes Helms each drove in two runs, Gaby Sanchez doubled twice and scored twice, and Florida beat the Los Angeles Dodgers. In the middle of the fifth inning, smoke started billowing toward the field from behind the upper deck seats on the first base side, the result of a small fire in a contained storage area. The entire area was evacuated, and fans climbed the steps to the top of the ballpark to get themselves relocated.

Note: Saturday’s Boston Red Sox at Detroit Tigers baseball game was postponed due to rain and will be made up today at 4:05 p.m. Also, Saturday’s game between the Seattle Mariners and New York Yankees was not completed by The Bulletin’s deadline. Results from those games will be in Monday’s Bulletin.

Older players, diminished performance: What to do?

Rising star Phinney hopes to improve sport’s image in U.S.

By Ronald Blum The Associated Press

NEW YORK — You’re overseeing a stellar work staff that’s maybe a little past its prime.

The boss is complaining that performance is off and says the old guard must go. A little gray now, they once were your top employees. They’ve given their professional lives to the company.

But someone needs to take on the challenge of managing them out. So congratulations, Joe Girardi, it’s your job.

From his dugout perch, the New York Yankees skipper has seen Jorge Posada flail away at the plate, he’s watched Derek Jeter hit dozens of routine grounders.

It all raises an age-old question: What’s the best way to handle stars when they near the end?

Mike Schmidt, he retired the day he made a key error. Cal Ripken Jr., he went gracefully.

Brett Favre, not so much.

It’s a business To Linda Hill, these breakups are not limited to the sports world. She’s the Wallace Brett Donham professor of business administration at Harvard Business School and sees similarities when corporate boards part with long-serving chief executives.

“Usually we don’t tell people, particularly superstars — because we’re too dependent on them for the business, whatever it is — we don’t tell them that frankly people don’t see them as credible as they were before,” she said.

“And so you hope that they figure it out for themselves, because it’s a difficult conversation. And then you spring it on them and you often do it in a way that doesn’t allow them to maintain their dignity,” she said.

While CEOs usually stay sharp into their 60s, the drop-off in baseball players most often occurs in the mid-to-late 30s.

Jeter, who turns 37 next month, is right on schedule. Posada, 40 in August, has outperformed most catchers his age.

It doesn’t figure to get any easier for them.

Jeter’s decline over the last 1½ seasons and the ruckus caused

by Girardi’s decision to drop Posada to ninth in the batting order point to prickly times ahead.

Starting with Jeter and Posada, but then expanding the discussion to all established stars, Girardi says they deserve an added degree of communication when lineup shifts are contemplated.

“Especially if you have veterans in certain cities, just because it just might be a little bit more of shock for them,” he said.

“But I try to give all my players warning, show them respect, talk to them before I make moves, so when they look at it, they’re not shocked or someone runs and puts a microphone in their face and they haven’t seen that it’s happened yet.”

Leaving with grace Mike Hargrove managed three teams over 16 seasons and guided Ripken through his final two seasons with Baltimore. Hargrove thought back two decades, to when he was an up-and-coming coach on the Cleveland Indians and John McNamara gave him some advice.

“When you get a manager’s job, one thing you’ve got to remember: ‘Never let a star fall on you,’” Hargrove recalled his boss telling him. “Said that to me a thousand times.”

Ripken often batted seventh in his last season, waved to the adoring Orioles fans a final time and headed to the Hall of Fame.

“The more people can make those choices themselves, opt in or opt out of jobs and giving them graceful exits into a different role — a role, for example, that might appear to have high status but maybe doesn’t pay as much — is usually a good way to get people to make the transition,” said Peter Cappelli, George W. Taylor professor of management at The Wharton School of the University of Pennsylvania.

Cappelli is the director of Wharton’s Center for Human Resources and co-author of “Managing the Older Worker: How to Prepare for the New Organizational Order.”

The New York Yankees’ Jorge Posada, right, watches from the bench during the first inning of a baseball game against the Tampa Bay Rays earlier this month. Posada, 39, has had a stellar career with the Yankees but has struggled this year.

“The more people can make those choices themselves, opt in or opt out of jobs and giving them graceful exits into a different role — a role, for example, that might appear to have high status but maybe doesn’t pay as much — is usually a good way to get people to make the transition.”

spect and acknowledgment,” he said. “The one thing that’s different is that now, at least in the corporate world, almost nobody makes it to retirement age.

In the modern corporate world, people take buyouts before then, they move, they do something different.”

Nolan Ryan went on to own a team, Don Mattingly became a manager, and Magic Johnson and Troy Aikman wound up as broadcasters. But most players who leave their games are gone for good.

In a sport that venerates its greats, baseball managers have no tougher task than easing the best of the best through their final years, from the seasons when they were the fulcrum of the franchise through the inevitable decline that leads to retirement.

changed.

In New York, someone wrote this about a couple of baseball All-Stars: “These statistics become a sad requiem, especially when a fellow remembers those two as they were once not long ago — crowd-pleasing operatives whose brand of instant magic could lift an entire ballclub. ...

But now their value has shrunk.”

No, that wasn’t a reference to Jeter and Posada. It was New York Times columnist Arthur Daley referring to Mickey Mantle and Willie Mays in 1967.

“There is a tendency to want to hold onto people who’ve been productive for far too long,” said Canice Prendergast, professor of economics at the University of Chicago Booth School of Business. “The danger is sometimes that things tail off, and we don’t understand that.”

On the way out

Medical matters

When a player has spent his entire career with a single team, as Ripken did, the burden multiplies. Add in a trove in titles, and it becomes close to unprecedented.

Jeter, Posada and teammate Mariano Rivera are in a select group of sustained success, among just 11 major leaguers who have been with only one club, played at least 15 seasons and won three or more World Series championships.

The others?

Lou Gehrig, Bill Dickey, Frankie Crosetti, Mickey Mantle, Whitey Ford and Bernie Williams of the Yankees, Stan Musial of the St. Louis Cardinals and Jim Palmer of the Orioles.

Among those who have appeared on the ballot, all but Crosetti are in the Hall of Fame.

Staying with one team through an entire career has become rare.

Some of sports’ biggest stars have switched sides, with Favre leaving the Green Bay Packers, Johnny Unitas departing the Baltimore Colts, Emmitt Smith moving on from the Dallas Cowboys and Bobby Orr exiting the Boston Bruins. The New York Knicks traded Patrick Ewing after 15 years.

When Favre was 35, the Packers drafted quarterback Aaron Rodgers in 2005. Favre retired after the 2007 season, then wanted to come back, but by that time the Packers had moved on after 16 seasons. Coach Mike McCarthy said he held six hours of what he called “brutally honest” conversations with the player in August 2008. Within two days, Favre was traded to the New York Jets.

Fans and media are quick to point out a decline and push for immediate change. Modern media, such as 24-hour talk radio, cable television and Twitter have sped up the news cycle.

But, to some extent, nothing has

New York Mets medical director Dr. David Altchek said the erosion of ability is inevitable, mostly because it takes longer to bounce back from a strenuous activity.

“Sports are traumatic. Every time they swing the bat that hard, particularly when they swing and miss, there’s trauma to their forearm muscles, their shoulder muscles, their abdominal muscles, their intercostal muscles, and those have to recover,” he said.

Dr. Anders Cohen, chief of neurosurgery and spine surgery at The Brooklyn Hospital Center, said it’s not the reflexes that decline.

“The brain reaction in milliseconds to a stimuli is pretty close — it’s not 100 percent but it’s still in the 90s,” he said. “The brain recognizes it, and then the body says do it, but the body itself doesn’t quite respond or get to the peak point it did at a young age. All of a sudden, he doesn’t get around on the fastball like he used to.”

In the late 1990s, some baseball players seemed to defy time, maintaining power strokes and fastballs into their 40s. With the start of drug testing with penalties in 2004, the norm has returned.

“Certainly, the ability to work out longer while on steroids may be a factor,” said Dr. Gary Wadler, former chairman of the committee that determines the banned substances list for the World Anti-Doping Agency. “Ultimately, we all age, and with aging, physiological functions decay or decline.”

Change is inevitable Tommy Lasorda, the Hall of Fame manager who led the Los Angeles Dodgers for 22 years, said accepting that decline all comes down to preparing vet-

eran players for change.

“You’ve got to treat them for what they’ve contributed and you’ve got to really be able to communicate with them,” he said.

“I can remember a time when one of my outfielders came in to me and he asked me, ‘Why aren’t I playing?’ I could have very easily have said, ‘Well, I don’t think you’re good enough to play.’ Now what am I doing when I tell him that? I’m knocking him down.

I’m taking his confidence away from him, right?

“So I say to him: ‘Look, have you ever seen a stage play in New York? Well, there’s always a standby there, and if anything happens to the star, this guy’s got to do the job,’ ” Lasorda recalled.

But as a player gets up in age, self-doubt increases, even for players accustomed to success.

“For these guys, the only thing they’ve done in their adult lives is play baseball,” Hargrove said.

“So anytime it looks like the door may be closing on you, it’s as scary as anything else, and leads to all kinds of emotions and problems.”

And they’re not ready to leave the big-league life, with its riches and perks.

Complicating the matter for managers, sometimes, are owners who depend on the aging stars to help sell tickets, even if they no longer are productive.

“You still may be the reason why people are coming to the game, even though you’re not the one that’s doing the hitting anymore,” said Hill, the Harvard professor. “Then maybe you’re still worth some money — seriously, for some period of time.

“Once the public realizes you’re not worth seeing, then I suppose then your contribution goes down and you’re not being paid for that part of it either, or you shouldn’t be,” she said. “That may be a fair exchange. It’s sort of the equivalent to the star who has had three bad movies.”

GOLF ROUNDUP

TENNIS: FRENCH OPEN

Djokovic, Sharapova, Nadal all advance in Paris

By Howard Fendrich The Associated Press

LM Otero / The Associated Press

Ryan Palmer signs autographs after finishing the third round of the Byron Nelson Championship golf tournament on Saturday in Irving, Texas. Palmer is in first place heading to today’s final round.

Palmer battles wind, maintains Nelson lead The Associated Press IRVING, Texas — Ryan Palmer sat down after finishing his third round and put his head down on the table. He was exhausted — and still leading — after a 3-over 73 on a gusty day at the Byron Nelson Championship.

The Texas native who made the cut only once in his first seven appearances at Lord Byron’s tournament, took a one-stroke lead over Sergio Garcia into the final round after surviving a sunsoaked but brutal day for scoring Saturday at TPC Four Seasons.

“We chalked it up as a hard day of golf,” Palmer said. “If you had told me Thursday I was going to have a one-shot lead, I would have called you a liar and said whatever. But my bad round is out of the way, I think, and I still lead by one.”

Even with two bogeys the last three holes, Palmer finished a stroke ahead of playing partner Garcia after the two started the day tied.

Garcia shot a 74 while also making bogeys at the 16th and 18th holes, where he missed makable putts.

“It was definitely hard. At the same time I have to say I got nothing out of my round,” Garcia said. “I could not shoot one shot higher than I did. So if you look at it that way, and I’m only one shot behind Ryan, and I have tomorrow, I think it’s pretty positive.”

The last three holes at TPC Four Seasons played into the

Battistella Continued from D1 “It’s the first time in my life where I can say, ‘OK, I can be here and I am not moving anywhere,’ ” says Battistella. “I can get a job without thinking, ‘How am I going to quit the job in like five months?’

“It’s kind of nice, and kind of refreshing.”

Battistella — who won or shared three Class 4A state girls individual golf titles at Bend High School from 1996 to 1998 — had stayed from any long-term housing commitments as she took up residence at places that best served her golf game at the moment.

Battistella has lived in so many places since college that she really has lived nowhere. She has taken up residence in Beverly, Mass.,; Coral Springs, Fla.,; Bellingham, Wash.,; and Palm Springs, Calif.

— not to mention Portland and Bend.

“I think I lived in like 11 different houses in Portland, in a grand total of maybe four years (there),” Battistella says. “I didn’t live really anywhere. It was more like I had a different home every week for about seven years.”

More than those cities, though, her home was on the road. She played for three seasons (2007-09) on the Duramed Futures Tour, the LPGA’s main development tour that takes golfers throughout the eastern half of the United States and beyond. And when not on that tour, Battistella darted around the globe to play in professional tournaments as far away as China since she turned pro in 2004.

She even played twice on the LPGA Tour, qualifying for the Canadian Women’s Open Championship in both 2006 and 2009 after winning Canadian Women’s Tour events in those seasons.

Battistella’s entire adult life has

wind, sustained all day at 25 mph with gusts near 40.

“Obviously the scores show how hard it was,” Palmer said.

“Bad, hard day, that is for sure.

I hit it pretty good I felt, but it’s hard to hit some of these tee balls... Just a hard round of golf.”

Conditions are expected to be similar for the final round today.

Only eight of 74 players shot under par Saturday, and there were no bogey-free rounds. The best round was a 67 by Arjun Atwal that tied him with Ryuji Imada (70) for third place at 3 under.

“Par’s really good on every hole, and I’m just lucky to shoot 67,” Atwal said after his round with six birdies and three bogeys. “You catch the wrong gust and you could be in serious trouble.”

Garcia missed a 5-foot par putt on the 535-yard 16th hole, where Palmer also bogeyed after missing the fairway with his tee shot.

Palmer, who is letting caddie James Edmondson call the shots this week, missed the fairway again at No. 18 and two-putted from 27 feet once he got on the green. Garcia hit his drive way right and still had a chance to convert an 8½-foot par-saver that would have put him back in a share for the lead.

Garcia began the week with an infected fingernail on his left ring finger that forced him to withdraw from a British Open qualifier after just five holes. He

didn’t have any practice rounds at TPC Four Seasons before opening with consecutive 66s.

Also on Saturday: Two tied at Senior PGA LOUISVILLE, Ky. — Hale Irwin overcame a four-shot deficit to grab the lead, then frittered it away with a double bogey on the last hole to drop into a tie with Kiyoshi Murota in the Senior PGA Championship. Seeking a victory that would make him the oldest winner of a senior major and oldest Champions Tour winner, Irwin — who will be 66 on Friday — shot a 2-under 70 that could have been better if not for the finish.

Donald, teen share BMW lead VIRGINIA WATER, England — Luke Donald birdied two of his last three holes for a 1-over 72 and a share of the lead at the BMW PGA Championship with Italian teenager Matteo Manassero. Donald had two double bogeys and a bogey on the front nine, then made four birdies on a bogey-free back nine to match Manassero at 5-under 208 on Wentworth’s historic West Course. Manassero also had a 72.

Young shoots 66 in Brazil RIO DE JANEIRO — Heather Bowie Young shot a 6-under 66 in rainy conditions to take a twostroke lead over Suzann Pettersen and Lindsey Wright in the LPGA Tour’s 36-hole Brazil Cup. Young had eight birdies and two bogeys at Itanhanga Golf Club in the 30-player exhibition event.

been traveling from tournament to tournament on a relatively modest budget.

“It’s not really a sustainable lifestyle,” Battistella says. “I appreciate every day that I am not on tour. It’s been a really easy transition.”

With her suitcases stowed away, Battistella can now look forward to her new life.

She spent much of the last year at Portland State taking prerequisite classes for physical therapy school, which she hopes to attend in fall 2012.

Her plan is to help golfers with golf injuries by becoming a physical therapist, with the added benefit of being able to share insights from her background as a golf pro.

Battistella has plenty experience with both golf and injury, having fought a nagging back since college, she says.

“I have a pretty unique perspective,” says Battistella, adding that issues with swing mechanics early in her career caused her back troubles. “I’m pretty excited about physical therapy AND golf.

I think that has a lot of potential.”

Currently, Battistella has a job as an assistant at Rebound Physical Therapy in Bend, and she is taking more physical therapy-related classes at Central Oregon Community College.

And she is starting to give lessons at River’s Edge Golf Course in Bend. (Battistella earned her LPGA teaching credential in 2009.)

“I was thinking I would teach, like all washed-up golfers do,” Battistella jokes.

Her first effort to combine golf and physical therapy begins on June 13 with an eight-week “boot camp” for women aimed at helping them break 100.

The program, she explains, will integrate golf-specific exercises with more traditional golf instruc-

tions by combining Rebound sessions with on-course work with Battistella and River’s Edge head pro Troy Eckberg.

The cost to attend the class is $175.

Putting Battistella’s golf expertise together with physical therapy training makes sense to Marcus Ainsworth, a physical therapist at Rebound who will be helping with the boot camp program.

“She understands the golf swing, obviously, because she is a pretty good golfer,” Ainsworth says. “She can take that understanding of golf-swing mechanics related to performance on the course, and apply physical therapy knowledge for rehabbing back pain and reducing the likelihood of back pain, that sort of thing. I think it could be very valuable.”

And playing competitive golf in the future? That is less certain for Battistella.

“With school and everything else, I’m not really tournamentready like I would like to be,” Battistella says. “If I did it, I would do it more for fun.”

The prospect of not being prepared to play well “would be hard for me,” she says.

“I have time to figure that out,” she adds, “but right now I’m focusing on trying to get through my school stuff.”

Professional golf is a life Battistella has, for the most part, left behind. Sure, she misses the competition, she says.

But the lifestyle?

“Not really,” says Battistella, who’s parents still live in Central Oregon. “I’m pretty excited to be where I’m at in my life right now.

“Moving to Bend, I’m starting to feel grounded for the first time … EVER.” Zack Hall can be reached at 541-617-7868 or at zhall@ bendbulletin.com.

PARIS — What was shaping up as a struggle for Novak Djokovic at the French Open suddenly turned into something of a stroll.

Tied at a set apiece with bighitting 2009 U.S. Open champion Juan Martin del Potro when play was suspended because of darkness a night earlier, Djokovic quickly faced two break points Saturday. He saved those, then broke del Potro in the next game, and that was pretty much that.

“If he serves well, he can beat anybody, really,” Djokovic said.

“I went (into) the match a bit more nervous than usual.”

If that’s so, it didn’t really show. Djokovic completed a 6-3, 3-6, 6-3, 6-2 victory in the third round, pushing his 2011 record to 40-0 and stretching his winning streak to 42 matches overall, including two Davis Cup matches in December.

“He was much better than me,” said the 25th-seeded del Potro, a semifinalist in Paris two years ago. “He has everything; everything perfect. He has very good movement. He’s very fast. He’s improved his serve. He’s beating all the players very, very easy, and I’m one more victim of his game.”

Djokovic’s 42-match run is tied for the third-longest by a man in the Open era, which began in 1968; Guillermo Vilas won 46 in a row in 1977. And Djokovic tied for the secondbest start to a season, matching McEnroe’s 42-0 in 1984.

As it happens, the 24-yearold Serb ran into McEnroe at Roland Garros on Saturday, and they chatted. Asked whether McEnroe was one of his favorite players, Djokovic replied with a smile: “Nothing against his age, but it’s just that I was still quite young when he stopped playing.”

McEnroe said recently he finds Djokovic’s streak more impressive than his own, because of the current depth in men’s tennis, and because it in-

Maria Sharapova returns against Chan Yung-Jan in her third-round match at the French Open tennis tournament in Roland Garros stadium in Paris, Saturday.

Sharapova won in two sets 6-2, 6-3. cludes a Grand Slam title — at January’s Australian Open, which was played at season’s end in 1984.

Djokovic, who will be in action for a third straight day today when he faces No. 13 Richard Gasquet of France, said a third major championship — and first at the French Open — takes priority over any other possible goal at the moment. If he gets to the final, he’ll take over the No. 1 ranking from Rafael Nadal.

Djokovic is 4-0 this year against Nadal, including wins in two clay-court tournament finals this month, and some have speculated those results chipped away at the Spaniard’s self-belief. Nadal felt much better about himself and his game after reaching the fourth round by beating Croatian qualifier Antonio Veic 6-1, 6-3, 6-0.

“Solutions don’t come from heaven. I mean, you can’t change everything in one day.

And you know what? I had not forgotten how to play tennis for a week, but I played better today,” said Nadal, who was pushed to five sets in the first

round.

He’s 41-1 in his French Open career and bidding to tie Bjorn Borg’s mark of six titles at the clay-court Grand Slam tournament.

The man Nadal beat for trophy No. 5 in last year’s final, Robin Soderling, also reached the fourth round, as did three-time Grand Slam runner-up Andy Murray, No. 15 Viktor Troicki, No. 18 Gilles Simon, and unseeded Ivan Ljubicic, who eliminated No. 16 Fernando Verdasco 6-3, 7-6 (6), 64 and meets Nadal on Monday.

“There is no question that his confidence is shaken,” Ljubicic said about Nadal. “You see him in the locker room. He’s saying it.

He’s not hiding it.”

No. 4 Murray got past Michael Berrer of Germany 6-2, 6-3, 6-2 despite badly twisting his right ankle while chasing a drop shot in the second set, then said he wasn’t sure if he could play his next match.

Twenty-eight of the 32 players still around in both fields are from Europe. That includes three Russian women who won Saturday: No. 7 Maria Sharapova, No. 25 Maria Kirilenko and unseeded Ekaterina Makarova.

Also advancing: No. 4 Victoria Azarenka of Belarus, No. 6 Li Na of China, No. 12 Agnieszka Radwanska of Poland, and No. 15 Andrea Petkovic of Germany.

Kirilenko put together a 6-1, 61 victory that abruptly ended the surprising run of 114th-ranked Arantxa Rus of the Netherlands, who stunned No. 2 Kim Clijsters in the second round by taking 11 of the last 12 games.

Sharapova also needed a big comeback to win her previous match — she claimed the final 11 games after trailing a 17-yearold wild-card entry — but faced no such trouble in beating Chan Yung-jan of Taiwan 6-2, 6-3.

AUTO RACING: NASCAR

Penske’s two-car team is an enigma Brad Keselowski and Kurt Busch try to find consistency in Sprint Cup season

Kenseth passes Edwards to win Nationwide race

By Jenna Fryer The Associated Press

CONCORD, N.C. — To hear Kurt Busch talk, his race team is struggling mightily and maybe some behind-the-scenes changes will save the season.

Then there’s Brad Keselowski, excited about three weeks of progress that have him enjoying his best stretch yet in NASCAR’s elite Sprint Cup Series.

That’s the enigma that is Penske Racing right now. Keselowski will start the Coca-Cola 600 from the pole, while defending race winner Busch will go off 26th in today’s race.

Keselowski doesn’t sugarcoat things, and readily admits the NASCAR side of Penske’s motorsports operation has areas that need improvement. But he does it thoughtfully and with an eagerness that good things are coming.

Busch is quite the opposite.

He’s beyond being hopeful, and his assessments and outlook both seem dreary. He’s also angry with the media for harping on his in-race radio communications, which have gone from maniacal rants to near despondency over the last month.

It’s created the good cop-bad cop perception, even though both drivers want the same thing.

“He definitely has a different approach,” Keselowski said.

“To be honest, if he didn’t have that approach, I probably would adopt it because you keep trying different things until you get what you want. I spent all last year being quiet and not

Civil War Continued from D1 Oregon has now won three consecutive games, while Oregon State (38-16, 17-9) has lost four games in a row and back-toback Pac-10 series.

Oregon State also fell out of the Pac-10 lead Saturday, as UCLA defeated Arizona State to improve to 18-8 with one game left.

If Oregon State wins and UCLA loses, the two teams would finish with identical 18-9 conference records and would share the Pac-10 title.

Pay Continued from D1 NCAA President Mark Emmert and commissioners of the six BCS conferences have said increasing the value of an athletic scholarship merits study. NCAA spokesman Erik Christianson said no conference or school could offer the beefed-up scholarships independently. A change in Division I bylaws would be required, he said, and no formal proposal has been submitted.

“The devil is going to be in the details,” Atlantic Coast Conference commissioner John Swofford said.

Big Ten commissioner Jim Delany brought up the issue at his league’s recent spring meetings, and it will be addressed again when Emmert hosts 50 Division I presidents and chancellors and other athletic administrators during an August retreat.

Commissioners for other BCS conference said their leagues will talk about it as well.

A formal proposal for NCAA membership consideration could still be three to four years out, said Chad Hawley, Big Ten associate commissioner for compliance.

“We were just trying to get a conversation started,” Hawley said, “and I think we succeeded.”

Athletic scholarships currently cover tuition, fees, room, board and books. Not covered are transportation, clothing, laundry, entertainment and incidentals.

Proponents of the enhanced athletic scholarships point out that some academic scholarships cover full cost of attendance and that athletes deserve the same, especially in light of the money and exposure they bring to their schools.

The idea isn’t new — athletes received $15 a month in “laundry money” until 1972 — but Swofford said it has come to the fore-

Brad Keselowski jokes with a NASCAR official before practice Saturday in Concord, N.C. He is on the pole for today’s CocaCola 600.

CONCORD, N.C. — Matt Kenseth passed Roush Fenway Racing teammate Carl Edwards with two laps to go and hung on to win Saturday’s Nationwide Series race at Charlotte Motor Speedway.

Kenseth and Edwards exchanged the lead with five laps left in the 300-mile race, but Edwards couldn’t counter Kenseth’s final pass on the inside.

Kenseth was filling in for Trevor Bayne, who has been sidelined with an inflammatory condition, in the No. 16 Ford.

Edwards, who was running low on fuel, hung on to finish second. Fellow Sprint Cup regular Kyle Busch was third, failing to tie Mark Martin (49) for the most wins in the Nationwide Series.

saying, ‘Hey, this car is really, really bad’ to the media. But they were really, really bad.

“At the same time, Kurt was running well and I didn’t have a leg to stand on with that. This year, obviously my cars have gotten better. Kurt has had his struggles. But it’s somewhat refreshing to have someone that can speak up have a voice, have the credibility of being a past champion and past winner and those around him perhaps listen more intently.”

Busch apparently does make things happen behind the scenes.

His radio tirade at Richmond earlier this month was epic, and the fallout led to some serious organizational meetings that Busch believed would spur some changes. Less than two weeks later, technical director Tom German left the organization in what the team said was a long-planned opportunity to attend an elite graduate program at MIT. “There were people that had good things to say about him

and people that had bad things to say about him,” Keselowski said of German. “Either way, the change there has opened doors that would have never opened before. The jury is still out whether that’s good or bad.”

It’s such a far cry from Roger Penske’s esteemed IndyCar operation, which will attempt to win its 16th Indianapolis 500 today. Will Power, who will start from the second row, has two wins this season and leads the points standings.

Teammates Helio Castroneves and Ryan Briscoe have struggled at times this season and this month at Indy, and Briscoe will race in a backup today.

Back in NASCAR, the two Penske teams have been all over the map.

Busch opened the season as the driver to beat at Daytona, winning two exhibition races leading into the season-opener. Top-10 finishes in the first four races made him the points leader for two weeks, but he

hasn’t had a top-10 since and has dropped to eighth in the standings.

Keselowski, meanwhile, seems to be finding a groove.

He’s had a miserable start to the season, but has honed in on something since running 33rd and 36th at Talladega and Richmond. He responded to some critical comments Busch made about not having teammates who can outrun him with a third at Darlington, a 13th at Dover, and then he raced his way into the All-Star race last week by finishing second in the Sprint Showdown.

“You go through spikes and then you have your plateaus, some are high and some are low. It’s really hard,” Keselowski said.

The Ducks got the big inning in the third after Oregon State starter Josh Osich retired six straight. KC Serna led off the inning with a single, and J.J. Altobelli’s one-out bunt single put runners on the corners after an OSU error. Osich walked Danny Pulfer to load the bases and retired Andrew Mendenhall before Jones’ at-bat pushed Oregon ahead 3-1.

Oregon starter Christian Jones earned the win, improving to 72 on the season and beating the Beavers for the second time this season. Jones held the Beavers to one run on five hits and six

walks while striking out five in 5 1 ⁄3 innings of action.

Junior right-hander Scott McGough, who already posted a win earlier in the week in relief at Portland, finished the game for Jones. McGough recorded his fifth save of the season, shutting out Oregon State and holding the Beavers without a hit while issuing just one walk for the final 3 2⁄3 innings.

Osich (6-4) lasted five innings in the start, allowing three runs on four hits and two walks while striking out five.

As Scott Schultz relieved Osich in the bottom of the sixth, Aaron

Jones led things off with a single to right and moved to second on a Ryon Healy sacrifice. Stefan Sabol then drove in Oregon’s fourth run with a single to left.

Oregon State scored its only run in the third inning, as Brian Stamps sliced a two-out triple down the left-field line that scored Ryan Barnes from first base.

Aaron Jones led Oregon with a two-for-four performance, while Pulfer’s single in the fifth extended his hitting streak to 13 games.

The final game of the series, and the regular season, is set for today at 1 p.m.

front recently because coaches’ salaries have skyrocketed and the NCAA and conferences have negotiated huge television contracts. Add in a couple of years of scandal, with USC getting penalized and Ohio State under investigation for improper benefits to football players, and the urgency of the conversation has turned up a notch.

One of the biggest questions is just how much extra money should be tacked on to a scholarship package?

Under federal financial-aid guidelines, each institution is required to estimate full cost of attendance. The numbers are wide ranging. For example, Indiana University figures a nonresident student needs $4,044 to cover his or her costs after tuition, fees, room and board are paid. At Arkansas, the estimate is $2,128.

Conference commissioners and athletic directors will have to decide whether to use a uniform dollar amount or whether to allow the amount estimated by each school. The rub is that if School A provides more money for discretionary spending than School B, School A could have a recruiting advantage.

The ACC’s Swofford said there also will be a debate about who should be entitled to the extra money.

“I know some would like to look at it in terms of revenueproducing sports and athletes that participate in those sports only,” he said. “Whether it could be addressed in that way, I don’t know.”

The argument that football and men’s basketball players are the ones who should receive extra money because their sports are the ones that produce the most revenue won’t stand up in court, said Minneapolis-based attorney Rayla Allison. She specializes in issues involving Title IX, the federal law that bans sex discrimination in schools.

“If they only implement it with the gender that’s favored — men — they’re setting themselves up for liability,” Allison said. “I don’t think any administrator would want to do that.”

So far, the discussion has focused on athletes in the socalled head-count sports. Those sports require athletes on scholarship to receive a 100-percent grant-in-aid.

There are a combined 98 scholarships in the men’s head-count sports — football and basketball.

There are 47 on the women’s side — basketball, gymnastics, tennis and volleyball.

Hawley said if each of those 145 scholarships were funded equally, the gender-equity standard would be met.

What about athletes in the so-called “equivalency” sports, where partial scholarships can be awarded?

If $3,000 were established as the amount necessary to cover the full cost of attendance, would an athlete on a 50-percent scholarship be entitled to $1,500?

Probably yes, according to Hawley, as long as the athlete’s school chooses to fund his or her sport to the maximum allowable.

Not to be forgotten, Hawley said, is that Delany’s proposal doesn’t make full-cost-of-attendance scholarships mandatory.

Schools that have the means to offer them can do so. Schools that don’t won’t.

For those 145 full scholarships in the head-count sports — and using $3,000 as the per-athlete figure — it would cost an athletic department an extra $435,000 to pay them.

That figure would be considerably less, of course, at schools that don’t field football teams.

One of those schools is mid-major Creighton in Omaha, Neb. Its athletic director, Bruce Rasmussen, said he’s against increasing the size of scholarships. NCAA rules allow qualifying athletes to

receive need-based aid, and lowincome student-athletes can receive up to $5,500 in federal Pell Grant money. Athletes also have the option to work in the summer and even during the school year.

“Kids aren’t as hard up as they’d like you to believe they are,” Rasmussen said.

No one expects the enhanced scholarships to serve as a barrier between athletes and agents who offer goodies to athletes who promise to become clients.

“It’s somewhat foolish to think that increasing the value of a scholarship is going to change the actions of people doing things in a dishonest way,” Arkansas athletic director Jeff Long said.

“We’re still going to have boosters ... that may work outside the lines regardless.

“For me, I think the discussion should center around the needs of the student-athlete and if indeed there are resources available to increase those scholarships.”

Ernie Chambers of Omaha, a former Nebraska state senator who since the 1970s has advocated for paying college athletes, said he’s excited about the prospect of increasing the value of scholarships.

Chambers drew national headlines in 2003 when he sponsored a bill, eventually signed into law, that requires the University of Nebraska-Lincoln to pay its athletes an unspecified amount if the legislatures in four other states with institutions in Nebraska’s conference pass the same law.

Chambers said his law is symbolic, and he never expected it to be activated because of conflicts with NCAA rules. He said he’s heartened that Delany and others agree with his premise that athletes deserve something extra.

“It has not been proposed by someone in this guy’s position before,” he said. “The thought is the father to the deed. Once discussion is under way, it will become reality.”

Continued from D1 Heck, there were even empty seats at the Brickyard, a sight no one could have envisioned a couple of decades ago.

“There was almost a lost generation,” Andretti moaned. “There were those 15 years where things were precarious, at best.”

Now, there’s a semblance of hope. Two new manufacturers will enter the series in 2012, powering a futuristic new machine.

The field for this year’s 500 is undoubtedly deeper and more talented than it has been since the glory days. Sponsorships are up, attendance is improving and an energetic new leader seems willing to try anything that might bring more attention to the sport.

In a sense, today’s race can be seen as a jumping-off point to a new era (and, no, we’re not talking about the giant orange ramp set up on the infield for a Hot Wheels promotional stunt before the green flag waves).

“I’m proud of the series for what we’ve done, for all the hard work we’ve put in,” said Danica Patrick, who has just one win in her career but remains the only driver widely known outside of IndyCar circles.

Of course, the fact that everyone is wondering whether Patrick will bolt to a more profitable gig in NASCAR next year shows the checkered flag remains in the distance. No matter what happens, there’s still plenty of work to be done.

A third of the field is composed of part-time drivers, most of whom are doing Indy-only deals and hope it leads to something bigger.

Look at Dan Wheldon, a former race winner who should be in the prime of his career. He was squeezed out of his last job, and this is the only sure thing on his schedule in 2011. Look at Townsend Bell, who has finished as high as fifth at Indy and will start from the inside of the second row. Asked what’s on his schedule for the rest of the year, he replied, “Well, there’s Christmas. And New Year’s, I guess.”

Good line, but not good for IndyCar. “I stopped many years ago trying to rationalize or problemsolve the racing industry,” Bell said. “I’m resigned to the fact that if I just go out and win the damn race, everything else will probably take care of itself.”

Randy Bernard, who was brought in from the Professional Bull Riders series to bring some pizazz to IndyCar, has certainly shown he’s willing to shake thing up. One of his changes — doublefile restarts, which are used in NASCAR — has drawn the ire of the drivers. They see them as impractical with the high-speed, open-wheel machines, which can’t go banging into each other like the good ol’ boys.

Tagliani, the surprising polewinner, was one of the most outspoken critics. He fears that today’s race could turn into a gruesome crashfest. He even went so far as to raise the possibility of debris flying into the stands and injuring someone in the massive crowd of more than 200,000.

“I don’t want to be responsible for that,” the Canadian said. “If our wheels touch while we’re racing side-by-side, all of a sudden cars are going to be flipping.”

IndyCar officials have promised extra sweeping in the corners during caution periods to provide a wider racing groove, but they appear unwilling to back off from the double-file concept. If nothing else, it has given people something to talk about, which might have been the main purpose all along.

“It’s brought a lot of new controversy and attention to the sport, in a good and positive way,” Bernard said.

There are other positive signs: • Tagliani was part-owner of a

financially challenged team that appeared on the verge of folding before the season. Then it was bought by Sam Schmidt, a former racer who became a car owner after a 2000 crash left him a quadriplegic. The joyful celebration between Tags and his wheelchair-bound boss when the No. 77 car stunningly captured the pole will remain one of the most heart-warming memories of this May, no matter who wins the race.

• Helio Castroneves will make another attempt at his record-tying fourth win. He struggled in qualifying, managing only the 16th-best speed, but look for him to make a quick charge through the field. He’ll likely be joined by others starting farther back than expected, such as defending champ Dario Franchitti (ninth) and Ryan Briscoe (26th). “I think those guys will be up front pretty quickly,” said Will Power, another of the favorites.

• Patrick could be making her final start at the 500 if, as most people expect, she moves full time to stock cars in 2012. While coy about her future, she denied a report that a tentative NASCAR deal was already in place and insisted she has not made a final decision.

“We’re very far from the finish line on any of that,” she said.

Patrick has always run strong at Indy, most notably her fourthplace finish as a rookie in 2005, but don’t look for any DanicaMania this year. Her Andretti Autosport team has struggled all month to get up to speed. In fact, two of the team’s four regulars didn’t even qualify on bump day, leading to a deal that put Ryan Hunter-Reay in a car Bruno Junqueira actually qualified for rival A.J. Foyt Racing.

Hunter-Reay, it turns out, might have a better chance in the No. 41 car than he would’ve had slipping into the field in an underpowered Andretti machine.

He was faster than any of his actual teammates in the final practice session Friday.

As for Schmidt, he’s reveled all week in the attention that goes with putting a car on the pole, especially one that beat out powerhouse organizations run by Roger Penske and Chip Ganassi.

Considering the personal side to the story, the team’s qualifying run is even more inspiring.

“I do it because this is my passion,” Schmidt said. “But if it gets a lot of people out of bed, gets ’em active, gets ’em in shape, gets ’em back to work so they can be an active part of society, that’s what it’s all about.”

Although Schmidt’s team has shown it can produce a fast car, a 200-lap race is more than pure speed. There’s reliability. There’s strategy. There’s pit stops.

“It comes down to the total package,” two-time winner Franchitti said. “You’ve got to be flawless. Every year, it’s the same thing: To win this thing, you’ve got to be flawless. It’s very unusual to make a mistake and come back from it.”

Which is why, despite the closeness of the field and the surprising strength shown by smaller teams in qualifying, the winner likely will be wearing the Penske (Castroneves, Briscoe and Power) or Ganassi (Franchitti and Scott Dixon) colors.

“Part of me wants to say the winner will come from outside of those guys,” said Tony Kanaan, who’s one of those outsiders. “But I know what they’re capable of. I know Dario. I know Scott Dixon.

And Helio, you can’t count Helio out. Helio running from behind is something else. I would say it will be between those two teams, unfortunately for me.”

Veteran Mavericks bonded by pursuit of their first title

Canucks ready for Bruins as Stanley Cup finals loom

By Jaime Aron The Associated Press

DALLAS — Dirk Nowitzki and Jason Kidd are at the point in their careers where the only thing they care about is winning a championship.

Luckily for them, their teammates feel the same way.

From Shawn Marion to Jason Terry, Tyson Chandler to Brendan Haywood, Peja Stojakovic to DeShawn Stevenson, the Dallas Mavericks are a collection of guys who’ve played at least 10 seasons and made tens of millions of dollars without winning a title. Their willingness to accept whatever playing time and other individual stats they pile up is a major reason Dallas is in the NBA finals.

“This is a bunch of veterans who want to play and are unselfish,” Nowitzki said. “I think that’s what makes this group special, I mean, everybody sacrificing for each other and we just want to win. It’s been Next up fun to play with • NBA Finals, these guys all Dallas season long, Mavericks at so hopefully Miami Heat we can have a great series.”

• When: The finals Tuesday, are an inter6 p.m. esting clash in • TV: ABC team-building formulas.

The Miami Heat have three main stars — Dwyane Wade, and the pals he lured last summer, LeBron James and Chris Bosh — plus the best role players they could afford with the remaining room under the salary cap.

Dallas was built to be deep and versatile. The Mavs knew Nowitzki would be the main option every night, with Kidd guiding the offense, but the No. 2 scorer and other roles would depend on matchups or who had the hot hand.

That kind of uncertainty is unusual for playoff teams. Guys like knowing what to expect. That’s why it was a struggle making it work at times last year, and why it’s so important everyone has completely bought into the team concept this year.

“It’s been an ebb-and-flow type of thing,” coach Rick Carlisle said. “In the playoffs, we’ve gotten some traction. But again, we’re never quite sure who are going to be our top three or four scorers. And often times we’re going to need six guys scoring seven or more points.”

It wasn’t always easy, even for the guys who dealt with Carlisle’s ever-changing rotation last year.

Haywood signed a lucrative contract last summer to be the starter, lost his job to Chandler and was so uncomfortable as a backup that he was suspended for a game in November. In December, he got the dreaded DNPcoach’s decision, with several more in the months that followed.

But in the playoffs, he’s done everything a backup big man should.

Stevenson also has been in and out of the lineup. A defensive specialist and three-point shooter, he starts each half, then gives way to Terry. Having that instant offense from the bench has been a huge

Position-by-position matchups for the NBA finals A position-by-position look at the matchups in the NBA finals between the Miami Heat and the Dallas Mavericks:

CENTER Joel Anthony vs. Tyson Chandler. Chandler receives plenty of credit for giving the Mavericks an interior defensive presence they long lacked, and he can score some, too: He had 14 points and 17 rebounds in a Nov. 27 victory over Miami. Anthony can give the Heat a boost with a timely offensive rebound or blocked shot, but he provides next to nothing offensively. Miami’s best lineup probably has Chris Bosh and Udonis Haslem playing together up front. Edge: Mavericks.

POWER FORWARD Chris Bosh vs. Dirk Nowitzki. Nowitzki is having as good a postseason as anyone, scoring 28.4 points per game and shooting nearly 52 percent from the field. He had two 40-point games in the Western Conference finals and now has the chance to make amends for a low point in his career, when he shot only 39 percent in the Mavs’ six-game loss to Miami in 2006. Bosh occasionally found it tough understanding his role as the No. 3 behind LeBron James and Dwyane Wade but has it figured out now. He’s coming off an excellent East finals, averaging 23.2 points to earn a shot against his hometown team. Edge: Mavericks.

SMALL FORWARD LeBron James vs. Shawn Marion. Quickly swept aside in his lone finals appearance, James has done everything it takes to give himself another shot, from clutch three-pointers to timely defensive stops against the opponents’ top offensive player. The Heat know that if they keep it close, James can win it for them. The versatile Marion’s insertion into the starting lineup allowed the Mavericks to overcome the season-ending loss of Caron Butler in January, and he even delivered 26 points in the series-clinching victory over Oklahoma City in the last round. Edge: Heat.

SHOOTING GUARD Dwyane Wade vs. DeShawn Stevenson. Wade wrecked Dallas’ first finals appearance, averaging 34.7 points and winning MVP honors as the Heat rallied from 2-0 down to win the series. He scored 42, 36, 43 and 36 points in the final four games. As unpopular as “The Decision” might have made James, Wade could hear the loudest boos when the series shifts to Texas.

Stevenson is a good defender and will hit an occasional three-pointer, but the Mavericks will have one of their reserves in here when they need to get anything done offensively. Edge: Heat.

POINT GUARD Mike Bibby vs. Jason Kidd. Nearly was the point guard matchup in the 2002 finals, but Bibby’s Sacramento Kings lost Game 7 of the West finals to a Lakers team that went on to sweep Kidd’s New Jersey Nets. Bibby rarely has been a factor since joining the Heat during the season and lacks the speed to take advantage of the 38-year-old Kidd, who has perhaps lost a step on offense but has played terrific defense to give himself a third attempt at a ring. He has guarded Kobe Bryant and the much-taller Kevin Durant at times, and might get a crack at Wade in big spots in this series.

Edge: Mavericks.

RESERVES

get that prize, that’s all that matters. ... This is definitely amazing what we’re seeing right now.”

Carlisle has been forced to make so many changes because his preseason plan went into the shredder.

Second-year guard Roddy Beaubois was supposed to provide the speed and athleticism this aging group sorely needed, but he broke his foot playing for the French national team last summer and wasn’t ready until February. He tried living up to ridiculously high expectations and wound up losing confidence. Carlisle stuck with him through 26 straight starts, then benched him for the season finale. He got hurt in that game and hasn’t played a minute this postseason.

Then there’s the sad story of Caron Butler.

Acquired at the trade deadline in 2010, along with Haywood and Stevenson, Butler was supposed to be the second scoring option most nights and a top defender — and he was, until tearing a tendon in his right knee on Jan. 1.

Losing two expected starters, Carlisle’s trial-and-error with his starting lineup seemed as if he was picking it from a hat sometimes. Sasha Pavlovic started six games while playing under 10-day contracts. Brian Cardinal started four games and fourthstring center Alex Ajinca started twice before getting traded.

A younger team might have buckled.

But these veterans have taken it in stride, and made the most of it.

At season’s end, Dallas had 57 wins and the No. 3 seed in the Western Conference. Team president Donnie Nelson didn’t get a single vote for executive of the year, but he and team owner Mark Cuban are much more interested in the prize the club is still chasing.

“I like the team,” Nowitzki said.

“I think we’re deep and we can play all sorts of styles. So, we’ll see what happens.”

The Associated Press

Mario Chalmers, Mike Miller, Udonis Haslem, James Jones, Zydrunas Ilgauskas and Juwan Howard vs. Jason Terry, J.J. Barea, Peja Stojakovic and Brendan Haywood. With Miller and Haslem healthy after battling injuries most of the season, the Heat can put their best possible lineup on the floor at the most important time. Haslem defended Nowitzki well in 2006 and will get opportunities again. But the Mavericks can surround their All-Star with plenty of perimeter shooting off their bench by going to Terry or Stojakovic, and Barea’s penetration is a good change of pace from Kidd. Haywood provides a solid backup in the middle to Chandler. Edge: Mavericks.

COACHES Erik Spoelstra vs. Rick Carlisle. Few coaches had tougher jobs than Spoelstra, who many thought wouldn’t be around at the finish even if the Heat were. But team president Pat Riley believes in him and so do the Heat’s superstars, whom Spoelstra built into one of the league’s best defensive squads. Carlisle brought a similar defensive-minded approach to a team that was previously offense first, and his calm demeanor here will be an upgrade over Avery Johnson, who lost his cool while the Mavs were losing control of the series five years ago. Edge: Even.

— The Associated Press boost for the Mavericks.

Marion is a four-time All-Star who became a backup for the first time in his career when he joined the Mavericks last season.

This season, he went through several stretches of flopping between reserve and starter.

He became a starter for good in late March and has had some big games in the postseason, especially the last round against

Oklahoma City.

“There’s a point in everybody’s career where you’ve got to make certain sacrifices if you really want to get to that ultimate goal,” Marion said.

“Sometimes you’ve got to do certain things you probably don’t want to do, or make changes you’ve never done in your whole career just to make something work. At the end, when you can

JOHN COS TA

Perilous times, timid politicians

I

t was the obvious but excellent question.

If you have to pick one issue as the most important, the guest wondered, what would it be?

It came from a listener at Crosswater on Tuesday, where Gordon Black, publisher of The Bulletin, and I were luncheon speakers at a meeting of the Men’s Club of Sunriver at Crosswater.

The club had asked us to come talk about the state of journalism in general, and The Bulletin in particular.

Black surveyed the state of the business, The Bulletin and its parent company, Western Communications.

I focused on news and editorial.

Given what I do, I guess I shouldn’t have been surprised by the question.

It’s a topic that the editorial board of the newspaper talks about every day.

But I think I blew the answer.

I referenced the obvious. The most immediate question, I said, is how Oregon is going to balance its budget, as it is required to do under the state constitution.

That’s no easy task, given the $3.5 billion hole the state is in.

And it’s clearly a very immediate concern, but not, on reflection, the one I worry about the most.

In some way or another the Legislature and the governor will create a balanced budget, as they are required to do.

They have no choice.

But the much more important issue, and perhaps the most important issue Oregon faces, is the manner in which they do it.

And so far, the manner in which they are approaching it does not suggest — how can I say it — either much vision or backbone.

If you didn’t already know that we are in the worst economic downturn in nearly a century, you could never tell by the current sights and sounds from Salem.

The sacred cows are squealing, the tax crowd is trying to slip in new taxes without calling them taxes, and we even have one powerful legislator threatening to hold up elements of health care reform if the soil in his district is not declared the official state dirt. I kid you not.

Many years ago, the late conservative pundit, William F. Buckley Jr., said that we would get much better policy results for the nation if we substituted the first 535 individuals in the Boston phone directory for the 535 elected members of Congress.

There may be more merit in that than his critics at the time allowed. Using one of Oregon’s city directories, it might even be worth a try in Salem.

It wasn’t supposed to be this way.

One candidate after another for state office visited The Bulletin’s editorial board last fall.

If they shared only one view, it was this: The economic downturn clearly plays a huge role in the whopping deficit the state now faces, but it isn’t the only factor. The state has built a governmental edifice that even a recovered economy cannot afford and — oh by the way — the income of Oregon’s private sector workers has been declining for a decade.

Increasing costs and decreasing income tax revenue are not a sustainable model, office seekers said in the fall.

It was about time, they harrumphed, for the state to think and act boldly, to reduce unsustainable costs, to pick a very few key priorities for investment.

That should have formed the answer to the luncheon questioner.

The single most important question is whether, if ever, the elected leaders of this state can define new priorities and reshape public purpose to achieve them.

With just two weeks to go in the legislative session, the answer so far, I regret to say, is that perilous times and timid politicians are not a healthy mix. * * *

Just a short note to remind everyone that tomorrow is Memorial Day. Please try to give a thought or two to those who have given their lives in service to the country, or who are risking their lives today.

It’s the least you can do.

But some at the universities are working to change that

he last four presidents of the United States each attended a highly selective college. All nine Supreme Court justices did, too, as did the chief executives of General Electric (Dartmouth), Goldman Sachs (Harvard), WalMart (Georgia Tech), Exxon Mobil (Texas) and Google (Michigan).

Like it or not, these colleges have outsize influence on American society. So their admissions policies don’t just matter to high school seniors; they’re a matter of national interest.

More than seven years ago, a 44-year-old political scientist named Anthony Marx became the president of Amherst College, in western Massachusetts, and set out to change its admissions policies.

Marx argued that elite colleges were neither as good nor as meritocratic as they could be, because they mostly overlooked lower-income students.

For all of the other ways that top colleges had become diverse, their student bodies remained shockingly affluent. At the University of Michigan, more entering freshmen in 2003 came from families earning at least $200,000 a year than

came from the entire bottom half of the income distribution. At some private colleges, the numbers were even more extreme.

In his 2003 inaugural address, Marx — quoting from a speech President John F. Kennedy had given at Amherst — asked, “What good is a private college unless it is serving a great national purpose?”

Last Sunday, Marx presided over his final Amherst graduation. This summer, he will become head of the New York Public Library. And he can point to some impressive successes at Amherst.

Hospital tax hike is good for state

O

regon’s hospital tax should be increased to keep low-income Oregonians insured.

It’s a tax many Oregon hospitals support, including St.

Charles. Oregon currently has a tax on the state’s two dozen larger hospitals, including St. Charles Bend.

The tax is at 2.3 percent of net revenue. The legislative proposal would raise it to 4 percent, bringing in about $660 million.

The money generated by the tax has been going to provide health care to about 60,000 of the state’s low income adults.

The need for the tax increase comes in because Gov. John Kitzhaber is trying to save state money for other purposes and put pressure on the Oregon health care system to use its money more efficiently. His budget reduces the state contribution to Medicaid, which provides the health care for low-income Oregonians. Kitzhaber’s budget cuts Medicaid by 19 percent for 2011-13.

The proposed increase in the hospital tax hike raises enough money to keep the decrease at 11.5 percent, instead.

Every $1 raised by the hospital tax is a good deal for Oregon. For every $1 raised, the state gets $1.60 from the federal government for Medicaid.

The hospital system as a whole gets the $1 back in reimbursements.

The remaining 60 cents helps cover other Medicaid costs.

State Rep. Tim Freeman, R-Roseburg, has asserted that somehow the proposed increase is not “a tax on the people.”

That is misleading.

The money to pay the extra 60 cents may be coming from the federal government. But the federal government’s money is tax money. People pay those taxes.

Every $1 raised by the hospital tax is a good deal for Oregon. For every $1 raised, the state gets $1.60 from the federal government for Medicaid.

Oregonians may also feel the impact from Kitzhaber’s 11.5 percent decrease in Medicaid funding.

Unless health providers can find ways to save that money, providers must eat those decreases in funding or pass them along to people who are on private/commercial health insurance.

The burden of saving that money can be spread around. Medicaid patients make up from 10 percent to 15 percent of patients of most hospitals in Oregon, said Bruce Goldberg, director of the Oregon Health Authority. So hospitals, for instance, do not need to find ways to save 11.5 percent on costs but maybe 1 percent on costs on their patients as a whole.

Jim Diegel, the President and CEO of St. Charles Health System, says St. Charles must find those savings. It’s the right thing to do for the uninsured.

And when Oregonians know it keeps low income people insured and perhaps out of the emergency room, Oregonians with private health insurance may not mind if they must pay 1 percent more.

Redmond teachers should take school district’s offer

R

edmond teachers spoke at Wednesday night’s school board meeting about their concerns for the district’s 2011-12 budget.

The teachers face a difficult challenge. They have been asked to do more for no more in compensation. But we hope they support the district’s contract proposal and don’t look instead to cut more school days for Redmond students.

The district has an $8 million shortfall. The latest contract proposal for teachers would keep all staff salaries where they are with no cost-ofliving increases. The district would also keep the same school calendar as this year, which was a cut of six days.

The district would also not reimburse teachers for education. The district has already been through rounds of teacher cuts, increasing the workload for the teachers that remain.

Teachers speaking Wednesday night told of how the district’s cuts had been a struggle for them. One

teacher suggested there might be savings for the district in contracting out for some services, such as lawn maintenance and cleaning, that are now performed by the district.

That is something worth investigating, but it also is a way of suggesting somebody else in the district loses a job.

Another teacher, Renee Hamilton, suggested that the advantage of cutting school days over trimming salaries is that more people feel the impact. That may help put more pressure on people to change the way the state funds education.

Of course, cutting school days rather than trimming salaries also has a direct short-term impact on the education of Redmond students.

The union representing classified employees — that includes janitors and secretaries — has tentatively agreed to the district’s contract proposal. The district’s teachers should, as well.

My Nickel’s Worth Not faster I thought idiots who made rules and wrote editorials lived on the other side of the Cascades, not here in Central Oregon. The Bulletin editor who wishes “all speed” to the idea of increasing highway speeds should get on U.S. Highway 20, head east, and keep on going.

The influx of California drivers moving to Central Oregon has already raised the speed limit from 55 mph to 70 mph to match the California limit all by itself.

The signs on Central Oregon highways still read 55 mph, and that limit should be enforced, but fewer patrolmen are on duty. If the limit is raised, especially on U.S. Highway 97, I can guarantee from current and past experience, that accidents will increase, and more people will die, especially in winter when black ice is on the road.

What good is there to save transit time by going faster, when traffic slows and stops at accident scenes?

Gary Will La Pine

The needs of the people I would like to remind Maralyn Thoma, “Eating the rich” May 16, that the Bush tax cuts for the wealthy were for personal income, not corporate.

The corporations have their own tax breaks and bailouts. The corporations are firing people and getting bonuses

because their profit margins have gone up. So, unless the wealthy are hiring more personal help at their homes, they are not creating new jobs. If the wealthy were at all concerned about ordinary people, the CEOs, CFOs and other higher-ups would take pay cuts, freeze bonuses and pay their employees an actual living wage plus benefits, such as they give themselves.

We do have a spending problem, but it is at the government level, where the needs of the people are not the first consideration. If they cared about the people, education would not be the first program gutted.

Too much for gas The following are the musings of an 85-year-old lifetime Democrat who is tired of paying an ever increasing price for gasoline, pouring millions of dollars into the pockets of the oil barons.

The continuing creep of the price of gas I fail to relate to the price of oil.

First of all, in the U.S. the oil companies own very few fields. They are leased. And you can believe they are not increasing the rents they pay as they raise the price of oil.

But you can believe they will raise the price of gasoline until they reach their target of $5 per gallon.

The probable answer is for the government to give the user an incentive to conserve fuel, thus bringing the oil

companies to their senses — to give the user of fuel the incentive to not use as much fuel short of paying $5 per gallon. This can be done by reducing the highway allowable speed as we did during World War II. Reduce the speed on roads to 50 mph.

Then if the oil companies continue to raise the price of gas, lower the highway speed until the oil companies stop raising the price of gas. During World War II, the maximum speed limit was 35 mph and we survived quite well.

Another thing that would help is to restrict the students driving to school.

School buses go near the homes of most of the students who drive.

Ernest M. De Corte Redmond

Paid by taxpayers Here we go again: another multimillion dollar project for Bend. I have yet to see an article on the Watson Drive sewer improvements project. This area has not had any breakage of the sewer lines, so why are we doing this? Is it another one of those pet projects?

During our one-and-only neighborhood meeting, we were told this project is already paid for with our monthly sewer bill, we must have been paying for this for years and didn’t even know it.

What else is in the works for Bend taxpayers?

St. Charles needs time to make deep Medicaid cuts

By Todd Taylor Bulletin guest columnist

T

here is no doubt that the state’s budget is in crisis.

The proposed reductions to the Oregon Health Authority and to the Oregon Health Plan (OHP) account for $698 million out of the $735 million of cuts required from all 100-plus agencies and departments I N M Y of state government. In other words, the Oregon Health Authority, which oversees and pays for the state’s Medicaid program known as the Oregon Health Plan, is bearing 95 percent of the reductions (sometimes referred to as savings by the state) required of all state agencies.

If this proposal is approved, we will see at least a 19 percent reduction in our reimbursement from OHP in the first year of the biennium and an additional 15 percent reduction in the second year

for a total of 34 percent in year two. For St. Charles Health System, this equates to a total reduction of more than $30 million over the next two years.

Cuts of this magnitude are unprecedented in Oregon and will leave us no choice but to reduce key health care programs, which could result in reductions in our staff, wages V I E W and benefits and other expenditures all of which will negatively impact the physical and economic health of our community. As one of the largest employers in the region, we know how important it is that we continue to provide competitive wages and health insurance benefits not only because of the impact on our caregivers but also because of the part we play in supporting our local economy.

In addition, the Legislature is considering changing the way Type A and B

hospitals are reimbursed. These small and rural hospitals, which include the St. Charles facilities in Redmond and Prineville, provide critical services to our rural communities. If they can no longer qualify for favorable critical access or sole community reimbursement status we will be forced to evaluate the viability of keeping the doors of these smaller hospitals open. Although this is a harsh statement, it is a reality.

If these reductions are approved, physicians who are not required to treat Medicaid patients may decide to opt out of the program. The loss of these community physicians will create an immediate access problem for Medicaid patients, who must now turn to our emergency rooms and other community safety net clinics that are already at capacity for non-urgent care. Our emergency departments, which are one of the most expensive places to treat a patient, will be overwhelmed

by the non-urgent care needs of the OHP population.

At St. Charles, we are diligently working on a plan to restructure the way health care is delivered in Central Oregon that we believe will lower costs while simultaneously improving the care we provide and the health of our community.

We have made tangible steps in the build out of this new system, and we believe wholeheartedly in the importance of health care reform throughout the state and nation — we simply need more time to ensure its success at the local level.

We, along with other Oregon hospitals and health systems, are more than willing to do our part to help balance the budget and transform health care delivery, but the proposed reductions in state funding to the health system are extreme, highly inequitable and will have severe consequences on our ability to provide care to the patients who need it most.

Community hospitals play a crucial role in the health and vitality of our small towns — one that I would argue is just as important as education, safety, transportation and other state funded programs.

It seems that we should all do our part to help the state solve its budget crisis.

We hope our legislators will look closely at this proposed budget and understand the potential consequences of placing such a high percentage of the necessary cuts on the Oregon Health Authority and the Oregon Health Plan while not asking for shared sacrifice across all agencies within state government. We hope our community partners will speak up and let our legislators know they are asking our community hospitals to shoulder a burden that is simply too great.

Todd Taylor is the chairman of the board of directors for St. Charles Health System.

O Back to the pre-American world I

s America’s preeminent world role over?

That’s what a recent New Yorker essay, based on interviews with presidential advisers, claimed. It characterized the new Obama foreign-relations style as “leading from behind” — given the supposed inevitable American decline and growing unpopularity. The president is said to agree with pundits such as Fareed Zakaria and Tom Friedman, who have often outlined the parameters of what the post-American world would look like.

But if American abrogates its preeminent leadership position of the last 65 years, wouldn’t the world look a lot like it did in the pre-American days of the 1930s? Then, a Depression-era United States was just one of many powers and reluctant to assert leadership abroad.

Eighty years ago, a newly Westernized and anti-democratic Japanese powerhouse, in the fashion of today’s rising China, was carving out uncontested Asian spheres of influence. An oil-, rubber- and iron-hungry imperial Japan claimed it needed more natural resources to fuel its industrial revolution, and so spread an authoritarian Asian co-prosperity sphere of influence as an alternative to alliance with an economically depressed and psychologically withdrawn America.

Most Americans then were tired anyway of overseas commitments. Our ancestors felt that their considerable sacrifices in World War I either had

VICTOR DAVIS HANSON gone unappreciated or had solved little — not unlike the way we are becoming exhausted by Afghanistan, Iraq and now Libya.

A newly confident, united and ascendant Germany was growing angry at other European countries. It nursed a long list of financial grievances over feeling used and abused. Sound familiar? A weak Britain and France had almost no confidence in their own declining militaries — sort of like the sad spectacle of their impotence in Libya that we have witnessed over the last two months.

Much-vaunted international institutions, like the bankrupt League of Nations, were about as effective in the role of world watchdogs as the corrupt United Nations is today. Europe and America were emerging from the nightmare of financial insolvency.

The so-called international community cared as much in the 1930s about rising, aggressive totalitarian states in Germany, Italy, Japan and Russia as it does today about ascendant China or Iran. Millions of Jews, then as now, heard crazy threats of their annihila-

tion, and desperately — and in vain — looked to the protection of the United States.

In other words, the post-American world could look a lot like the rather terrifying pre-American version of seven decades past. Why in the world would we wish to return to it?

The declinists insist we have no choice. Globalization has spread power. America has depleted its resources, both natural and financial. And our prior leadership abroad is something worthy of apology rather than pride anyway. Think of receding postcolonial Britain around 1946 as our model, not the confident, rising postwar United States of Harry Truman and Dwight D. Eisenhower.

But decline is always a choice, not an inevitable fate. America’s known fossil-fuel reserves — natural gas, oil, coal, shale, tar-sands — are larger than ever. The problem is not finding more energy but marshaling the will to use the vast new sources of energy we have recently discovered.

Our military is not just larger than the alternatives, but vastly larger and ever more lethal. Given the enormous size and productivity of the U.S. economy, we have the means — but not yet the will — to rapidly pay down our huge debt. In a world short on food, America is the world’s greatest agricultural producer.

Other industrialized populations age and decline; ours is still growing. Amer-

ica is widely criticized abroad even as it remains by far the favored destination of global immigrants. Diverse religious practice is still vibrant in the United States. Elsewhere, it is fossilized in Europe, nonexistent in China, and intolerant in the Middle East.

While riots, strikes or revolutions sweep southern Europe and the Middle East, the United States remains stable and quiet — despite far greater racial, ethnic and religious diversity. Globalization is still mostly a phenomenon of American innovation and originality to be licensed and outsourced abroad.

There have been plenty of thugs who threatened their neighbors over the last 30 years. Saddam Hussein, Slobodan Milosevic, Manuel Noriega and the Taliban were all deposed from rule only by American power. The “lost” war in Iraq resulted in a democratic and, for now, still viable government in place of genocide. Afghanistan is depressing, but the medieval Taliban still have remained out of power for nearly a decade.

In short, the old pre-American world was as unstable and dangerous as would be a new post-American update.

But both retrenchments were choices that an unsure and depressed United States made — not symptoms, then or now, of inherent weakness or inevitable decline.

I

MICHAEL GERSON — wrote the decision.

Court conservatives raised a number of practical concerns. Was this really the least intrusive method to achieve the goal? Should more recent progress in California have made its way into the court’s calculation? Why should people who haven’t directly suffered injustice benefit from the court’s remedy?

The weightiest argument, however, came from Justice Antonin Scalia.

He objects to judges adopting the role of politicians. He apparently does not object to judges adopting the hyperbole and snark of political columnists.

Scalia’s dissent — employing the words “radical,” “absurd,” “outrageous” and “travesty” in the first three paragraphs — cries out for a less excitable editor.

But he raises a serious matter of political philosophy. “Structural injunctions,” such as the one issued by the federal panel, turn “judges into long-term administrators of complex social institutions such as schools, prisons and police departments.” Courts are pushed beyond their competence, making choices naturally informed by political bias. The abdication of public officials, in Scalia’s view, does not automatically transfer their role to the judiciary. In-

competence alone is not an excuse for intervention. If a state’s foster care system is ill-designed — or a city’s public school system is persistently dysfunctional — should judges be able to impose specific reforms?

The proper legal response seems to be: It depends. In his dissent, Justice Samuel Alito says that “undesirable prison conditions that do not violate the Constitution are beyond the federal courts’ reach.” Which implies that unconstitutional conditions would be within the federal courts’ purview. This is the central dispute in the California case.

Justice Kennedy believes that extreme overcrowding leads to inevitable violations of the Eighth Amendment forbidding cruel and unusual punishment.

Conservatives on the court believe conditions in California prisons are “undesirable” but not broadly unconstitutional. Presumably, the systematic denial

ancestor Fulmouth Kearney, a shoemaker who immigrated to Ohio in 1850, the president suddenly seems more rooted in an ethnic working-class persona that even his critics can recognize.

On the streets and at the pub in Moneygall (still smelling of fresh paint) and again at his big speech in Dublin when he offered the Gaelic version of “Yes We Can” — “Is Feidir Linn” — Obama was transformed. He dropped his diffident debutante act. He liberally offered all the Irish charm, wit and warmth that he had lacked in working-class bars and neighborhoods when he lost primaries to Hillary in New Hampshire, Pennsylvania, Ohio and Indiana in 2008.

In Buckingham Palace in London, Obama would get to see a copy of “Uncle Tom’s Cabin” given to Queen Victoria in 1852. And in Dublin, the president talked about the challenges of being a brash young African-American politician trying to get ahead in a hidebound white Irish-controlled city.

With Gael force gusts that gave new meaning to the Irish toast, “May the wind be always at your back,” the cherished Son of Eire looked beyond what the eye could see at the throng of adoring Irish, his new instant family, and he drank in that mother’s milk. President Obama, happy at last.

of adequate nutrition by a state prison system — resulting in the starvation of some prisoners — would be unconstitutional and require some sort of “structural injunction.”

This disagreement should not, however, distract attention from the true offenders in this case. California politicians have been complicit in the erosion of their own authority. They have approved mandatory minimum sentences and “three-strikes” measures — without building enough cells, hiring enough staff or holding low-risk offenders accountable in more creative ways than incarceration.

The result was predictable. As Kennedy reported in his ruling: “Because of a shortage of treatment beds, suicidal inmates may be held for prolonged periods in telephone-booth sized cages without toilets. A psychiatric expert reported observing an inmate who had been held in such a cage for nearly 24 hours, standing in a pool of his own urine, unresponsive and nearly catatonic. Prison officials explained they had ‘no place to put him.’”

At the end of his dissent, Alito warns that a large prisoner release in California might lead to a “grim roster of victims.”

Of course, nearly all prisoners are eventually released after serving their time.

We are only debating the pace. And it is absurd and outrageous to treat them like animals while hoping they return to us as responsible citizens.

Don’t be a stranger to Ireland, Mr. President I MAUREEN

DUBLIN — t’s the next morning.

Swaddled in the afterglow, the Irish are trying to figure out: Was it true love or merely a one-day stand?

Not even a whole night, after all, since Barry O’Bama ran off after the ecstatic love fest, muttering some incredible excuse about a volcanic ash cloud from Iceland.

The tall, dark stranger who bewitched an island didn’t say when he’d be calling again to help out with Ireland’s $100 billion debt.

The American president was back in the arms of the Special Relationship. He even proposed a deeper commitment with David Cameron, calling it the Essential Relationship.

But the ordinarily laconic lad had looked really happy while he was here, hadn’t he?

As JFK and Bill Clinton discovered before him, Irish love is all-encompassing, a mother’s milk for needy politicians.

Taoiseach Enda Kenny was so enamored of the president that he offered an odd homage, a near-carbon copy of the opening of Obama’s victory acceptance speech in Grant Park in Chicago in 2008, changing the word “America” to “Ireland” and “founders” to “ancestors”: “If there’s anyone out there who still doubts that Ireland is a place where all things are possible, who still wonders if the dream of our ancestors is alive … today

DOWD

is your answer.”

The Irish thought they had their dream man when Obama drained a pint of the black stuff in Moneygall. For Barry, who drinks little and watches his calories a lot, that was the equivalent of a keg stand.

(One survey estimated that his sudsmustache picture taken at Ollie Hayes’ pub in Money-all, as his cashing-in hometown is now known, is worth about $200 million to Guinness.)

The next night, lonely and back to passing time with cooking shows and reruns of “Friends,” the Irish watched jealously as Barack enjoyed a more upscale repast with the queen, washing down sole and watercress with Veuve Clicquot Ponsardin, Vintage Rich 2002.

They couldn’t help but be secretly gleeful that their events went off without a hitch, whereas the band at the British state dinner missed its cue and ended up playing “God Save the Queen” while the confused president was still toasting and the queen was staring stonily ahead.

In Ireland, all had been ebullient. Bar-

ry O’ kissed and hugged with abandon, totally out of character for him. He waved a hurling stick and playfully threatened to bring it back to paddle congressional foes. He cuddled babies, kissed grannies and chatted up a mom who was home making spaghetti when her daughter thrust a cellphone at the president.

He basked in the glow of adoring distant relatives in Moneygall, like “longlost” eighth cousin Henry Healy whom the president dubbed Henry the Eighth, and a crowd of 25,000 Dubliners, many young and all thrilled, in College Green.

The Irish warmed to their new native son’s flattery — “this little country that inspires the biggest things” — even though some privately doubted his sweet nothing that “your best days are still ahead.”

Funnily enough, Obama had to take a foreign trip to seem less foreign to Americans. Even though he did a best-selling memoir about his roots, he has had a persistent and puzzling problem coming across as rooted.

A surprising number of Americans still find the president exotic and existentially detached, falsely believing he’s either a Muslim or foreign born. Just before his trip, he gave in to the demands of Donald Trump and other birthers to release his long-form birth certificate.

But with American reporters swarming Moneygall to examine and show off the long-form birth records of Obama’s

Lessons from Tahrir Square CAIRO — eing back in Cairo reminds me that there are two parties in this region that have been untouched by the Arab Spring: the Israelis and the Palestinians. Too bad, because when it comes to ossified, unimaginative, oxygen-deprived governments, the Israelis and Palestinians are right up there with pre-revolutionary Egypt and Tunisia.

I mean, is there anything less relevant than the prime minister of Israel going to the U.S. Congress for applause and the leader of the Palestinians going to the U.N. — instead of to each other?

Both could actually learn something from Tahrir Square. To the Palestinians I would say: You believe the Israelis are stiffing you because they think they have you in a box. If you resort to violence, they will brand you terrorists.

And if you don’t resort to violence, the Israelis will just pocket the peace and quiet and build more settlements. Your dilemma is how to move Israel in a way that won’t blow up in your face or require total surrender.

You have to start with the iron law of Israeli-Arab peace: Whichever party has the Israeli silent majority on its side wins. Anwar Sadat brought the Israeli majority over to his side when he went to Israel, and he got everything he wanted. Yasir Arafat momentarily did the same with the Oslo peace accords.

How could Palestinians do that again today? I can tell you how not to do it.

Having the U.N. General Assembly pass a resolution recognizing an independent Palestinian state will only rally Israelis around Prime Minister Bibi Netanyahu, giving him another excuse not to talk.

May I suggest a Tahrir Square alternative? Announce that every Friday from today forward will be “Peace Day,” and have thousands of West Bank Palestinians march nonviolently to Jerusalem, carrying two things — an olive branch in one hand and a sign in Hebrew and Arabic in the other. The sign should say: “Two states for two peoples. We, the Palestinian people, offer the Jewish people a two-state solution based on the 1967 borders — with mutually agreed adjustments — including Jerusalem, where the Arabs will control their neighborhoods and the Jews theirs.”

If Palestinians peacefully march to Jerusalem by the thousands every Friday with a clear peace message, it would become a global news event.

Every network in the world would be there. Trust me, it would stimulate a real peace debate within Israel — especially if Palestinians invited youth delegations from around the Arab world to join the marches, carrying the Saudi peace initiative in Hebrew and Arabic.

Israeli Jews and Arabs should be invited to march as well.

Crazy, I know. Bibi is reading this and laughing: “The Palestinians will never do that. They could never get Hamas to adopt nonviolence. It’s not who the Palestinians are.”

That is exactly what Mubarak said about the Egyptian people: “They are not capable of being anything but what they are: docile and willing to eat whatever low expectations I feed them.” But then Egyptians surprised him. How about you, Palestinians, especially Hamas? Do you have any surprise in you? Is Bibi right about you, or not?

As for Bibi, his Tahrir lesson is obvious: Sir, you are well on your way to becoming the Hosni Mubarak of the peace process. The time to make big decisions in life is when you have all the leverage on your side. For 30 years, Mubarak had all the leverage on his side to gradually move Egypt toward democracy — and he never used it.

Then, when Mubarak’s people rose up, he tried to do it all in six days. But it was too late. No one believed him. So his tenure ended in ruin.

It may be that Israeli and Palestinian leaders are incapable of surprising anyone anymore, in which case the logic on the ground will prevail: Israel will gradually absorb the whole West Bank, so, together with Israel proper, a Jewish minority will be ruling over an Arab majority. Israel’s enemies will refer to it as “the Jewish apartheid state.”

America, Israel’s only true friend, will find itself having to defend an Israel whose policies it does not believe in and whose leaders it does not respect — and the tensions between the U.S. and Israel displayed in Washington last week will seem quaint by comparison.

A clear invitation for judicial activism WASHINGTON — t is a question that merits its own Federalist Paper: When the legislature consistently fails in a fundamental duty, should the courts step in to provide a remedy?

That the state of California has failed to run a humane prison system is beyond dispute. About 143,000 prisoners are packed into a system designed to hold 80,000. Overcrowding results in unrest, poor sanitation and untreated illness. It is also beyond serious dispute that California’s Legislature, despite more than a decade of prodding by the courts, has not adequately addressed these problems.

Prison overcrowding exposes a democratic disability: Some states are unwilling to provide reasonable services to a group toward which the public is profoundly unsympathetic. So in 1996, Congress passed the Prison Litigation Reform Act, giving federal courts oversight over dysfunctional state systems. The law allows for caps on prison populations if there is no reasonable alternative.

This combination — an incorrigibly irresponsible state legislature and a federal legislative mandate — was an engraved invitation to judicial activism.

And federal courts did not refuse. A panel of three federal judges ordered in 2009 the California prison system to reduce its population to 137.5 percent of capacity.

Absent other reforms, this would eventually require the release of 37,000 prisoners. A divided Supreme Court upheld the ruling of the panel. Justice Anthony Kennedy — a Californian with a longterm concern about prison conditions

Tom Hanks greets the crowd with Oprah Winfrey during the taping of “Surprise Oprah! A Farewell Spectacular” at the United Center in Chicago. Oprah’s Book Club earned accolades — and spawned a few controversies — since its inception in 1996.

Club spawned literary stars and controversies

2. “The Dukan Diet” by Dr. Pierre Dukan (Crown)

By Carolyn Kellogg

3. “Does the Noise in My Head Bother You?” by Steven Tyler with David Dalton (Ecco)

For some, a book club means Chardonnay, gossip and some bookish conversation. For Oprah Winfrey, it’s meant making bestsellers and, as she said last week, “the biggest controversy in our 25 years.”

As her broadcast television show comes to a close, Winfrey welcomed the reason for that controversy — the not-truthful memoirist James Frey — onto two full shows of her final 10, putting her once-vital Book Club back at the center of the national discussion.

Oprah’s Book Club launched quietly in 1996, and a nod soon became a sure shot to the best-seller list and a windfall for publishing as a whole.

“It’s the ultimate book club; it’s very broad and very deep,” Jonathan Galassi, president and publisher of the prestigious publishing house Farrar, Straus & Giroux, said in a telephone interview. “It’s been a wonderful enhancement to publishing fiction.”

In the club’s heyday, Winfrey selected about 10 books a year — she’s remembered for choosing family-focused novels but was equally supportive of challenging literary fiction. She would announce the much-anticipated next book on the air, give viewers a few months to buy and read it, then have the author appear on her show in a book-club-discussion setting.

No one in publishing had expected Winfrey’s impact on their industry’s bottom line after the media maven energized an enthusiastic and dedicated group of readers.

Los Angeles-based author Janet Fitch was a virtual unknown when her book “White Oleander” was selected for Winfrey’s club in 1999; the selection helped sell 720,000 copies before the author even appeared on the show.

“I’d spent basically 20 years just living a writer’s life,” Fitch said recently in Los Angeles.

She’d never considered that her book, which features a difficult mother and a daughter left to the foster-care system, might find a wide readership. “Oprah said it would go over a million by the time it was all over, and it was true.”

Hollywood also jumped to attention — film rights to Fitch’s novel were sold on the sidewalk outside of Book Soup in West Hollywood, and Michelle Pfeiffer starred in the movie version. Other books that made it to screen after being selected by Winfrey include Andre Dubus III’s “The House of Sand and Fog,” Jane Hamilton’s “A Map of the World” and Bernhard Schlink’s “The Reader.”

The Book Club had the power not only to make literary stars but also to create a national furor, as it did in 2006 when it turned out that Winfrey’s fall 2005 pick, Frey’s addiction and recovery memoir “A Million Little Pieces,” was more fiction than fact. At first, Frey protested his case on Larry King’s CNN talk show, during which Winfrey expressed her support; later, a visibly upset Winfrey brought Frey back onto her show. “It is difficult for me to

Corsi (WND Books) 10. “A Place of Yes” by Bethenny Frankel with Eve Adamson (Touchstone) 11. “Area 51” by Annie Jacobsen (Little, Brown) 12. “20 Years Younger” by Bob Greene (Little, Brown) 13. “Unbroken” by Laura Hillenbrand (Random House) 14. “The Psychopath Test” by Jon Ronson (Riverhead)

talk to you because I really feel duped,” she said.

“It was a difficult experience, but at this point, I’m happy with the way it has all worked out,” Frey told the Los Angeles Times in an email. “It absolutely made me more of a public figure. And it exposed my work to much wider audiences than they would have had otherwise, for which I am deeply thankful.”

Her televised lashing of Frey has weighed on Winfrey’s conscience — she apologized to the author in 2009 — and by bringing him back on her show, she offered them both a chance for reconciliation and redemption. It was a very Oprah thing to do.

Although most authors’ experiences with the talk-show queen were less fraught, they were equally life-changing.

Winfrey often championed challenging work from literary figures such as Toni Morrison and Maya Angelou. She enticed the media-shy author Cormac McCarthy onto her show to talk about his dystopic novel “The Road,” a 2007 selection.

Jonathan Franzen was one of those literary writers. When his book “The Corrections” was a 2001 pick, he expressed ambivalence about the selection — which was widely perceived to be a critique of Winfrey’s dedicated army of readers.

His scheduled appearance on the show was canceled. Winfrey suddenly dropped her selections to as few as two a year. She began to bypass contemporary fiction for classics by Steinbeck and Tolstoy — long-dead authors who couldn’t make a fuss. Publishers

NEW YORK — Four kids would probably seem like plenty to most people, but for Melissa Fay Greene they were the starter set. Greene’s charming memoir, “No Biking in the House Without a Helmet” (Sarah Crichton Books/Farrar, Straus & Giroux, $26), recounts her adventures as she and her husband added to their biological family five adopted children: one Romany boy from a Bulgarian orphanage and four Ethiopians who had lost their parents to AIDS. It wasn’t always easy, she acknowledges during a visit to New York from her home in Atlanta, but creating this new family was a joyful, transformative experience.

Q.

You’re known for serious nonfiction like “Praying for Sheetrock,” based on reporting and research. What prompted this very personal memoir?

I felt very sheepish about it. I always say to writing students, “Don’t write memoirs. Learn something about the world; feel curious about lives outside your own.”

But writers are storytellers, and you go where the good stories are. It didn’t escape my attention that we had all kinds of amazing stories piling up underfoot in our family. Parenting the first four was marvelous and surprising, full of hilarity and tears, and the five other children brought these incredible stories with them.

“Freedom” by Jonathan Franzen and “White Oleander” by Janet Fitch made it onto the Book Club list. The selection in 1999 helped sell 720,000 more copies of Fitch’s novel. realized that a vital literary force had left them, cold.

Franzen, like Frey, has been welcomed back into Winfrey’s club fold. In September 2010, she announced with some fanfare that Franzen’s new novel, “Freedom” — his first since “The Corrections” — would kick off the club of her final broadcast season. And Franzen — gingerly and apologetically — appeared on the show in December.

“It was very brilliant invention; it worked beautifully,” says FGS’s Galassi. Yet now, “like any established institution, it doesn’t have quite the same freshness, the excitement factor as when it first happened.”

Maybe Winfrey will be able to rekindle that excitement at her new cable network, OWN — but the future of the book club is uncertain. According to a source on the Oprah Winfrey Network, there are no firm plans for a new club, but Winfrey has expressed interest in continuing it after her current series is over.

side of myself was a relief, and there were all these funny and wonderful stories about the culture clash going on as my younger children adapted to America.

For the Ethiopian kids, the shock was softened because Atlanta has an Ethiopian population of close to 20,000; they weren’t the only ones who had bridged this amazing divide, leaving an African world of poverty and coming to a very diverse American world of freedom and plenty.

Q.

Your biological children encouraged the adoptions, but were there moments when they felt jealous or neglected?

My very hardest time was Lily being so thrown by Jesse’s arrival.

She was 7, she’d been my spoiled baby, and then she was displaced. She was so sad and confused, and that was really, really hard. Now, from the perspective of Lily being 18, she’s fabulous, and she ended up being the linchpin of the family. She went from being the youngest of four biological white children to being the oldest of six kids at home, and the only one of the biological kids. She was the entree for the others into America; she was their first guide: “This is cool, and this is not cool. This is tasty, that’s not tasty.”

A.

Q. A.

Now that your youngest is 13, are you finally able to look forward to an empty nest?

Not always, but there are times. … We’ve got five kids at home, and sometimes on a Saturday night there are 20 teenagers sleeping over. Sometimes I think it would be nice to wake up on Sunday morning and have the house look like it did when we went to bed!

Q.

Your longtime readers may be surprised by how funny the book is. Was that a surprise to you?

No, that was totally natural: I’d been reining it in for 20 years! Releasing that

Thriller resurrects Jack the Ripper

A former geek offers hope Alexandra Robbins has a clear view of high school stereotypes

By Judith Newman

“Now You See Me”

by S.J. Bolton (Minotaur, 416 pgs., $25.99)

By Oline H. Cogdill Sun Sentinel (Florida)

The fascination with Jack the Ripper, who terrorized London’s Whitechapel area beginning in 1888, never seems to wane. For more than 120 years, facts and myths about the deranged killer have melded until even Ripperists find separating reality from fiction difficult.

Jack the Ripper, who was never caught, has spawned a plethora of nonfiction books about who he might have been and just as many novels that use those crimes as a background.

While S.J. Bolton uses the Ripper legend in her excellent fourth thriller, this British author succeeds in ways that many authors have not. In “Now You See Me,” Bolton parallels Jack the Ripper’s crimes with the string of insidious gang rapes of young girls in some of South London’s poorest neighborhoods. Bolton delicately weaves these contemporary crimes throughout the plot, illustrating that the new victims felt as powerless and invisible as did the prostitutes that Ripper preyed on.

But “Now You See Me” also works as a complex psychological tale about a young woman rebuilding her life, trying to find her identity and come to terms with her past.

Det. Constable Lacey Flint has just finished interviewing a teenage rape victim when she finds a woman left to die on the young cop’s car on the anniversary of the Ripper’s first reported killing.

The connection to Jack the Ripper is obvious, especially when a journalist receives a letter similar to what Scotland Yard received in 1888. Lacey is a Ripper expert and she is assigned to help a task force that is frustrated by the increasing violence. While trying to solve the crimes, Lacey also begins to worry about her own fractured past becoming public when she notices an unusual pattern to the murders.

Although “Now You See Me” deals with the violence that Jack the Ripper rained down on London, Bolton is careful to concentrate more on the plot’s psychological aspects. “Now You See Me” is a cerebral thriller that avoids cliches. Each twist and turn is unpredictable as are the fully drawn characters’ actions.

Bolton’s other three novels have explored the chilling emotions that seethe beneath the surface of small British villages. The urban setting of “Now You See Me” expands Bolton’s noir storytelling.

THE BULLETIN • Sunday, May 29, 2011 F5

New York Times News Service

A few years ago I wrote an article about Rosie O’Donnell that made her mad. She told a gossip columnist I must have been “that nerdy Jewish kid in high school who ran the AV club.” The columnist called me for a reaction, and I had to correct O’Donnell. Actually, I was the president of the Herpetology Society.

“Ooh, herpetology!” says Alexandra Robbins, as we downed pancakes at the Crosby Street Hotel in SoHo, both of us seriously underdressed. “You mean, like, reptiles? That must have been interesting. Look what snakes did for Britney Spears.”

True, but I wasn’t tonguekissing them on MTV. I just liked them a lot, and when I brought my boa, Julius Squeezer, to school with me, it wasn’t because I was goth.

But my point — and Robbins’, in her latest book, “The Geeks Shall Inherit the Earth: Popularity, Quirk Theory and Why Outsiders Thrive After High School” (Hyperion) — is that I survived the teasing and lack of popularity to make a pretty good life. And so did she. And so, her book tells us, do many of the more interesting people on Earth.

At 34, Robbins looks not much older than the teenagers she writes about in books like “Pledged” and “The Overachievers”; her hair is pulled back in a no-nonsense ponytail and she is wearing minimal makeup, considering she just returned from a taping of “Today.”

Robbins has built her career giving voice and shape to the lives of teenagers — not the glossy simulacrums of Nick at Nite or the Disney Channel, but the living, breathing kind who worry not just about hair and shoes and romance (though there’s plenty of that), but about families, siblings, their futures. In her latest book, she follows the lives of high school archetypes — like the Loner, the New Girl, the Nerd and the Band Geek — plus one Popular Bitch, the Paris Hilton of her upstate New York high school.

Their stories beautifully demonstrate things we know intrinsically: that being popular is not always the same as being liked, that high school is more rigid and conformist than the military, and that the people who are excluded and bullied for their offbeat

passions and refusal to conform are often the ones who are embraced and lauded for those very qualities in college and beyond — what Robbins has dubbed Quirk Theory.

Doc Holliday legend is retold from beginning “Doc”

by Mary Doria Russell (Random House, 416 pgs., $26)

By Chris Foran Milwaukee Journal Sentinel

School popularity As anyone who’s seen movies like “Heathers” knows, the social agonies of high school are nothing new. But the Internet has magnified those feelings of alienation for the oddballs. Partly it’s the relentless exposure to celebrity culture, to images of perfection and roaring success with little discernible talent. (Hello, Kardashians.) But it goes beyond issues of appearance.

“Facebook is now the online cafeteria,” Robbins says. “It’s this public space, largely unsupervised, and it mirrors the cafeteria dynamic where you walk in and have to find a place to belong. At school, you have to pick a table. Well, on Facebook you not only have to pick a table, you have to pick who’s at your table and who’s not. And then kids feel they have to be publicists for themselves, maintaining their photos and status. It’s exhausting.”

Also exhausting is the care and feeding of popularity, which Robbins has discovered is not so much about being liked (some popular teenagers are liked, many are not) as about being known. “Popularity is a combination of visibility, influence and recognizability,” she says. “If you’re someone who engages in studying or practicing violin, these are not activities that put you in front of the student body. So these kids aren’t in the popular crowd, but it doesn’t say anything other than the fact that their talents are not visible.”

In other words, the president of the chess club may have more real friends than the cheerleader, but still be considered unpopular.

Robbins comes by her affinity for geeks honestly. She grew up in Bethesda, Md., in a family of teachers, an ultra-serious student, she says, in body suits, flannel shirts and Adidas slides with white socks.

She was a “floater,” one of those who didn’t have one set group of friends, but got along with many different kinds of people. At least, that’s what she thought until recently — when a former classmate wrote her a note, congratulating Robbins for how unrecognizable and good she looks now (“I was all, ‘Uh, thanks?’”) and apologizing profusely for how everyone made fun of her.

“I read her note and was like, ‘What?’ Because I didn’t know people made fun of me. And I liked this girl! I was on her soc-

Alexandra Robbins, author of “The Geeks Shall Inherit the Earth,” has built a career giving voice and shape to the lives of teenagers. cer team.” Robbins let six months go by before she worked up the nerve to ask what her classmates had thought of her. The classmate wrote back: “Well, you were a dork … you were on the public speaking team, and in student government and on the newspaper. You had power and we didn’t.

I guess I’d call you a power dork.”

“And I thought, ‘Well, OK: power dork. I’ll take it.’ Though I would have been mortified at the time.”

‘Power Dork’ The Power Dork made good, as many do. She first gained attention as an editorial assistant at The New Yorker where, in the course of researching her first book, “Secrets of the Tomb” (about the Skull and Bones secret society at her alma mater, Yale), she unearthed George Bush’s school transcript and SAT scores. The editors were so dubious that their lowly assistant had managed to do this that they sent the veteran political writer Jane Mayer in to check what she had found. Robbins proved correct, and Mayer became her mentor. Robbins, in turn, became Mayer’s sometime baby sitter.

Robbins met her husband, a lawyer for the military, while they were students at Yale. They bonded over their mutual love of “The Muppet Show” (she had a green Chevy Malibu named Kermit) and “Star Wars” — they walked the aisle to the “Star Wars” theme and still keep, in the foyer of their

Washington-area home, a giant cardboard Yoda nailed to the wall in an elegant frame.

When not actively working on a book, Robbins has turned those hours she logged in her high school public speaking club into a lucrative lecturing career, and now tells anxious young people and their parents exactly how and why they should stop grade-grubbing and worrying about what parties they’re invited to.

At the end of a lecture I attended at School of the Future in Manhattan, there were teary questions from parents about their unpopular children, and there were kids who asked, in a variety of ways, “Will I be OK?” Robbins has many deeply comforting words for these teenagers; and one story speaks in particular to those who’ve been right there with the high school outcasts. It’s about an experiment performed by the late-19th-century French naturalist Jean-Henri Fabre on caterpillars that were hard-wired to follow each other in a long head-to-tail line.

“Fabre set them up in such a way that they were following each other around the rim of a flowerpot — with their favorite food only inches away,” Robbins says. “For seven days they followed each other around until they died of starvation and exhaustion. They couldn’t see how a simple deviation from the path would get them to the food they needed right away.”

Geeks are many things, Robbins suggests. But one thing they aren’t are caterpillars.

It seems we can’t get enough of Doc Holliday.

A central figure in one of American history’s most retold events — the gunfight at the O.K. Corral — John Henry Holliday has been a key character in dozens of movies and television shows, along with scores of novels, since his death in 1887 of consumption at the age of 36.

“Doc,” Mary Doria Russell’s new Western, is an engrossing portrait of a legend before he becomes a legend. Russell builds on aggressive research into the times and its more colorful characters to create a believable world that, while enriching those other, more familiar Wild West tales, stands solidly on its own.

“Doc” is very much Holliday’s story, but Russell does a terrific job of giving shape to supporting players in the drama. Holliday’s lover/common-law wife Kate is a smart, volatile woman, whose reversal of fortune has left her in permanent survivor mode. The Earp brothers, particularly Morgan and James, manage to be on the right side of the law without dismissing the charms of the alternative.

And their brother, Wyatt, is a by-the-books deputy for whom life’s early tragedies have strengthened his resolve.

Although “Doc” threatens now and again to become a mystery novel, its real appeal is in watching its characters, especially Wyatt and Doc, as their personas are forged in the heat of a changing West.

Fantasy writer pushes language to new frontier “Embassytown”

by China Mieville (Del Rey, 368 pgs., $26)

Leave it to China Mieville, the British creator of fantasy, science fiction and the weird, to write a provocative novel about language, in which a central human character is a living Simile in an alien tongue, and in which thousands of sentient creatures may die because of the way a phrase is pronounced — or isn’t pronounced.

Mieville, whose earlier books include the Hugo Award-winning “The City & The City,” deposits readers in Embassytown, a human enclave on the distant planet Arieka. The book’s narrator, Av-

Elite Continued from F1 More than 22 percent of students now receive federal Pell Grants (a rough approximation of how many are in the bottom half of the nation’s income distribution). In 2005, only 13 percent did. Over the same period, other elite colleges have also been doing more to recruit low- and middle-income students, and they have made some progress.

It is tempting, then, to point to all these changes and proclaim that elite higher education is at long last a meritocracy. But Marx doesn’t buy it. If anything, he worries, the progress has the potential to distract people from how troubling the situation remains.

When we spoke recently, he mentioned a Georgetown University study of the class of 2010 at the country’s 193 most selective colleges. As entering freshmen, only 15 percent of students came from the bottom half of the income distribution. Sixty-seven percent came from the highestearning fourth of the distribution. These statistics mean that on many campuses, affluent students outnumber middle-class students.

“We claim to be part of the American dream and of a system based on merit and opportunity and talent,” Marx said. “Yet if at the top places, two-thirds of the students come from the top quartile and only 5 percent come from the bottom quartile, then we are actually part of the problem of the growing economic divide rather than part of the solution.”

The Amherst model I think Amherst has created a model for attracting talented low- and middle-income students that other colleges can copy. It borrows, in part, from the University of California, which is by far the most economically diverse top university system in the country. But before we get to the details, I want to address a question that often comes up in this discussion: Does more economic diversity necessarily mean lower admissions standards?

No, it does not.

The truth is that many of the most capable low- and middle-income students attend community colleges or less selective fouryear colleges close to their home.

Doing so makes them less likely to graduate from college at all, research has shown. Incredibly, only 44 percent of low-income students with high standardized test scores attend a four-year college, according to a Century Foundation report — compared with about 50 percent of high-income students who have average test scores.

“The extent of wasted human capital,” wrote the report’s authors, Anthony Carnevale and Jeff Strohl, “is phenomenal.”

This comparison understates the problem, too, because SAT scores are hardly a pure measure of merit. Well-off students often receive SAT coaching and take the test more than once, Marx notes, and top colleges reward them for doing both. Colleges also reward students for overseas travel and elaborate communityservice projects. “Colleges don’t recognize, in the same way, if you work at the neighborhood 7-Eleven to support your family,” he added.

Several years ago, William Bowen, a former president of Princeton, and two other researchers found that top colleges gave no admissions advantage to low-income students, despite claims to the contrary. Children of alumni received an advantage.

ice Benner Cho, describes her childhood’s first encounter with a native Host: “The Host came forward with its swaying grace, in complicated articulation. It looked at me, I think: I think the constellation of forking skin that was its lustreless eyes regarded me. It extended and re-clenched a limb.”

Mieville does this so well in his world-building: He gives readers just enough information to imagine the otherworldly.

“Embassytown” is the most engrossing book I’ve read this year, and the latest evidence that brilliant, challenging, rewarding writing of the highest order is just as likely to be found in the section labeled Science Fiction as the one marked Literature.

Minorities (except Asians) and athletes received an even bigger advantage. But all else equal, a low-income applicant was no more likely to get in than a highincome applicant with the same SAT score. It’s pretty hard to call that meritocracy.

Amherst has shown that building a better meritocracy is possible, by doing, as Marx says, “everything we can think of.”

The effort starts with financial aid. The college has devoted more of its resources to aid, even if the dining halls don’t end up being as fancy as those at rival colleges. Outright grants have replaced most loans, not just for poor students but for middle-class ones. The college has started a scholarship for low-income foreign students, who don’t qualify for Pell Grants. And Amherst officials visit high schools they had never visited before to spread the word.

The college has also started using its transfer program mostly to admit community college students. This step may be the single easiest way for a college to become more meritocratic.

It’s one reason the University of California campuses in Berkeley, Los Angeles and San Diego are so much more diverse than other top colleges.

Many community colleges have horrifically high dropout rates, but the students who succeed there are often inspiring. They include war veterans, single parents and immigrants who have managed to overcome the odds. At Amherst this year, 62 percent of transfer students came from a community college.

National interest Finally, Marx said Amherst does put a thumb on the scale to give poor students more credit for a given SAT score. Not everyone will love that policy. “Spots at these places are precious,” he notes. But I find it tough to argue that a 1300 score for most graduates of Phillips Exeter Academy — or most children of Amherst alumni — is as impressive as a 1250 for someone from McDowell County, W.Va., or the South Bronx.

The result of these changes is that Amherst has a much higher share of low-income students than almost any other elite college. By itself, of course, Amherst is not big enough to influence the U.S. economy. But its policies could affect the economy if more colleges adopted them.

The United States no longer leads the world in educational attainment partly because so few low-income students — and surprisingly few middle-income students — graduate from four-year colleges. Getting more of these students into the best colleges would make a difference. Many higher-income students would still graduate from college, even if they went to a less elite one.

A more educated population, in turn, would probably lift economic growth.

The Amherst model does cost money. And it would be difficult to maintain if Congress cuts the Pell budget, as some members have proposed. But when you add everything up, I think the model isn’t only the fairest one and the right one for the economy. It’s also the best one for the colleges themselves. Attracting the best of the best — not just the best of the affluent — and letting them learn from one another is the whole point of a place like Amherst.

“We did this for educational reasons,” Marx said. “We aim to be the most diverse college in the country — and the most selective.”

A father’s daughter and ‘secret’ child tell their tale “Silver Sparrow”

by Tayari Jones (Algonquin Books, 352 pgs., $19.95)

By Mike Fischer Milwaukee Journal Sentinel

It may not match “Call me Ishmael,” but one could do worse than opening a novel with “My father, James Witherspoon, is a bigamist.”

That’s how Tayari Jones begins “Silver Sparrow,” her third novel, which chronicles two African-American families in Jones’ native Atlanta.

James may be the common denominator joining those families together, but “Silver Sparrow” belongs to his two daughters, born four months apart in 1969.

The illegitimate Dana is older and gets to tell her story first, but she is second in almost every other way as she grows up in the shadows with her mother, Gwen.

James may visit them once a week for dinner. And James clearly loves Dana, contributing toward her education from his earnings as a chauffeur and worrying that the punk she dates in high school will leave her high and dry.

But despite his nominal presence in her life, James is

largely absent, and it takes its toll on Dana’s self-esteem. She and her mother spy on James’ legitimate family, pining for what they do not have — even as they recognize that they “lived in a world where you could never want what you wanted out in the open.”

Beautiful and smart, Dana reaches her teen years fueled by increasing insecurity and resentment that she is playing second fiddle to her sister Chaurisse, who has no idea Dana even exists — let alone any notion of the sacrifices Dana and Gwen make to preserve Chaurisse’s blissful ignorance.

Chaurisse gets her turn in the novel’s second half. More secure than Dana, she speaks in a lighter and bouncier voice, and her often wise and goodnatured humor contrasts starkly with Dana’s unpredictable moods.

“My mother,” Chaurisse tells us, “could be anyone’s mother — as medium as my father, but a bit on the plump side. If you saw them walking down the street, if you noticed them at all, you would think the two of them might produce invisible children.”

Chaurisse is much too funny to ever be invisible, but she knows

she is average and largely accepts it; comfortably middle class, she can afford to.

Her world revolves around her mother’s in-home beauty salon and parents whose love for her goes unquestioned.

As the sisters’ creator, Jones herself has tried to be a good parent, scrupulously dividing the pages and attention she gives her offspring.

Chaurisse is more rounded and accessible, making her easier to understand and like.

But Dana’s forbidden and inexpressible desires make her

secrecy inevitable while giving her good reason for acting out as she does — even when that means stalking her sister, which sets in motion the inevitable collision between James’ two carefully separated worlds. Dana is harder to know, but she isn’t underwritten.

I can’t say the same for Jones’ male characters; the most important of whom get evenhanded treatment but nevertheless remain on the thin side. Even James is more of a plot device than a person, confirming Gwen’s observation that “a man is just a man, and that’s all we have to work with.”

Jones’ women, on the other hand, are all drawn well, from the sisters and their mothers to minor characters such as the sisters’ dying grandmother and Gwen’s wisecracking friend, Willie Mae. The exchanges between mothers and daughters are often moving and always ring true.

Despite an overly tidy plot, so does the novel as a whole.

Jones gives us permission to love all of its women, though they are flawed and often refuse to love each other. That’s a recipe for great book club discussions, and I wouldn’t be surprised to see “Silver Sparrow” featured in many.

Paul Reiser writes about ‘Familyhood’ “Familyhood”

by Paul Reiser (Hyperion, 236 pgs., $25.99)

By Chris Erskine Los Angeles Times

I was so ready to dismiss this little book as the musings of a sitcom quipster with not much to add to the national discourse — when, during one of those insufferably long children’s birthday parties, another dad began to rant about many of the same things that Paul Reiser does in “Familyhood.”

Sure enough, Reiser digs deeper than expected for some very relatable observations in this follow-up to his best-selling books “Couplehood” and “Babyhood.”

It seems to take a while for Reiser to hit his stride. Early on, I didn’t really trust his glibness or sitcom sensibilities. That’s because we still know him best from television, primarily “Mad About You” and the short-lived “Paul Reiser Show.” As a performer, Reiser’s particular gift seems to give words a percus-

sive emphasis, almost a rim shot.

They are reactive, these jabs, to the other people in the show.

In his writing, it takes a while to hear that voice again, to find the beats of his sentences. But if you like Reiser the comic, you’re likely to enjoy Reiser the writer.

That personal connection is important, for he’s covering some pretty familiar ground in this collection of 22 essays: his struggles with technology, his two sons going off to camp.

Point of view is everything with

Reiser, not to mention an eye for the little things in a father’s life.

Reiser doesn’t so much pick the right word as accentuate the right emotion. In any case, good writing has a way of letting us feel a little less alone in the world. It validates some of our dreams and dissatisfactions, makes us nod along, knowing we have an ally.

Reiser has done that here, hitting fatherhood on the head with a sweet, personal little book brimming with wit and understanding.

As workers age, when and how to step aside?

By Nelson D. Schwartz New York Times News Service

As the managing partner of a top Los Angeles law firm, Norman Levine is no stranger to what might be called the Posada problem.

Nothing, he said, is as tough as telling fellow partners that their best days are behind them.

“I’ve always joked that I wish I could have these conversations by phone,” Levine said. “If someone wants to stay and you don’t want them to, that’s the hardest. It’s like going to your parents and telling them they can’t handle their affairs anymore.”

If anyone doubts the sensitivity of the task, consider the case of Jorge Posada, the once-formidable New York Yankee who at the ripe old age of 39 found himself demoted in the starting lineup, unable to consistently do the one thing a designated hitter does — hit. When he got the news earlier this month, he walked into manager Joe Girardi’s office an hour before the game and announced he wasn’t going to play.

A group of about 20 construction workers wearing the recognizable yellow safety vests from the Facebook data center project normally gathers after work at the Cinnabar on Third Street in downtown Prineville; on Thursday, the gathering was down to five electricians: from left, Ralph Jones, Erin Davis, Jon Nelson, Doug Ollar and Jeff Fowlds, along with Cinnabar server Kristina Martin. “The people of Prineville have been very accommodating,” Fowlds says.

But the painful encounter between coach and lagging star — Posada apologized the next day — is one that is taking place with increasing frequency in the wood-paneled aeries of law firms, banks and other elite professions, industry insiders said.

“All the rules have changed,” said a longtime executive recruiter, Richard Stein of Caldwell Partners in New York. “In a market that’s become extremely lean and mean, these individuals who have tended to be the senior statesmen of their day are sometimes the first to go.”

It can happen at any age, of course, but it’s an especially delicate issue in an era when many workers stay on after they turn 66, when they qualify for full Social Security benefits.

Even as old notions of professional courtesy and obligation erode, so too has the quiet acceptance of traditional, mandatory retirement ages.

For bigger sales, restaurants go mini

By Leslie Patton Bloomberg News

CHICAGO — Mini-size me.

American restaurants infamous for dishing out a day’s worth of calories in a single meal are selling cheaper, trimmed-down portions to snag calorie-conscious customers.

“The small is always just a little bit too much,” said Jill Glascott, 40, polishing off a Snickers candy-bar Mini Blizzard at a Dairy Queen in Chicago last week with her two children. With the 7-ounce mini, “you don’t feel as guilty,” she said.

Dairy Queen promoted the baby Blizzards last month, giving diners about half the calories of the small 12-ounce size.

And in March, Starbucks unveiled the “petite” line of mini cupcakes, whoopie pies and

lemon squares for $1.50 each; the junior lemon square has 120 calories, compared with 490 for Starbucks’ lemon pound cake.

Downsized desserts make diners feel better about tacking a treat onto a full meal, and restaurants can make more money

off them by charging higher prices, said Michael Keller, chief brand officer at Minneapolisbased Dairy Queen.

“Consumers are willing to pay a little bit of a premium for the mini Blizzard,” Keller said.

“That has helped our operators protect their margins.”

Surging ingredient costs are putting those restaurant margins under increasing pressure.

World food prices rose to almost a record in April as grain costs advanced, leading to price hikes for basics like eggs, meat and sugar.

Why won’t they lend?

Wells Fargo bankers answer criticism over small-business loans it. By the same token, sometimes the lenders look at applications that score high but have some serious problem.

By Robb Mandelbaum New York Times News Service

Back in the darkest days of the economic crisis, few people had anything good to say about the nation’s biggest banks, least of all small-business owners.

The big banks took federal bailout money, if in some cases reluctantly, and then faced accusations of being stingy with all of that capital.

Even some business owners with long-standing banking relationships reported difficulty getting new loans. Others claimed their banks had dropped them altogether.

Among the institutions that took criticism was Wells Fargo, the fourth-largest American bank and the biggest lender to small businesses. But Marc Bernstein and Douglas Case, the bank’s two top executives for small-business lending, say the criticism was misplaced.

In 2010, the bank made $14.9 billion in new loans to small companies — “just shy,” as Case put it, of a $16 billion goal for the year but more than the $14.5 billion it lent in 2009. In the first quarter of this year, the bank lent $3.7 billion, a 27 percent increase over the first quarter of 2010.

Wells Fargo, like many banks, defines a small business as any company with less than $20 million in annual revenue. Said Bernstein, “Wells Fargo historically has put an awful lot of focus on lending to the smallest businesses. That’s why we’re the largest lender in loans under $100,000.”

Bernstein and Case spoke recently about lending through the economic crisis and maintaining the bank’s ties with struggling and angry customers. This is a condensed version of the conversation.

Q:

Why has it been so difficult to approve loans?

Bernstein: First of all, a lot of businesses entered the recession with a great deal of debt. There was a 33 percent increase in the small-business loan balances nationally, between 2005 and 2008.

Now that had grown slowly for years, but all of a sudden banks really went hog wild in terms of loaning to small businesses. Then, in some industries we saw sales fall as much as 30 percent.

Now, imagine that small-business owner: They’re carrying much more debt than they’ve ever had, sales fall 30 percent, they have negative cash flow, they’re drawing down their reserves.

It is highly likely they’re not going to survive another six months or 12 months in a scenario like that, and that’s the sort of thing we were dealing with at the height of the Great Recession. There were people coming to try and borrow more, who already had no visible means of being able to pay their existing debt.

Q:

In the past, you have emphasized the consumer debt some of these business owners were carrying.

Bernstein: We saw that in what I call the bubble markets — Phoenix, Las Vegas, Southern California, Florida — a lot of small-business owners borrowed against their house to do whatever. Sometimes to expand their business, sometimes to do what other consumers did, to buy boats and other things. So when the real estate market collapsed, those people were in a very precarious situation as well.

Q:

Marc Bernstein, left, and Douglas Case, Wells Fargo’s top two executives for smallbusiness lending.

Q:

What happened to them?

Bernstein: Well, many businesses have closed in the Great Recession, and many bank loans to small businesses were charged off. The good news is that increasingly the small-business owners who have survived are having an easier and easier time paying their debts.

Q:

How much of the Wells Fargo small-business loan portfolio had to be charged off?

Bernstein: From what I see from industry statistics, substantially less than our competitors. If you look at Bank of America’s quarterly earning statements, you’ll see that their charge-off rates got quite high for a while.

Q:

Bank of America’s chief executive called his smallbusiness portfolio a “disaster.”

Was yours?

Bernstein: Not in my mind.

Without meaning to criticize one of our fellow banks, our loan losses never got anywhere near, never approached even the neighborhood that Bank of America reported.

“We intend and expect loans to increase, but how much will depend on the economy. That’s one of the things that surprised us last year: The economy did not recover quite as quickly as we’d hoped, and loan demand didn’t recover quite as quickly as we hoped.”

— Marc Bernstein

Q:

Did you set a lending goal for this year?

Bernstein: We intend and expect loans to increase, but how much will depend on the economy.

That’s one of the things that surprised us last year: The economy did not recover quite as quickly as we’d hoped, and loan demand didn’t recover quite as quickly as we hoped.

Q:

How is your approval process different now than it was, say, a year ago?

Bernstein: I can tell you how it’s been different from two or three years ago. We use credit scoring — Wells Fargo was the pioneer in the United States in using credit scoring for small business, and it was a way to help us make more small-business loans than we were able to make before.

But we have lenders looking at more decisions than we’ve ever had lenders look at before. It’s worth the time for a lender to save applications that the scorecard says are not quite good enough, people who maybe didn’t pass the cutoff score, but are not far from

How does credit scoring work?

Bernstein: Credit scores are developed by looking at thousands of actual experiences where lenders made loans and determining what characteristics of the applicant predicted their likelihood of default. You look at 50 or 70 characteristics or more of an applicant — variables related to credit history, and also aspects of the business itself — and then you mathematically determine how does each of those contribute to the likelihood of going to loss.

Q:

How often does an application that gets a second look end up getting approved?

Bernstein: That’s proprietary, but often enough that it’s worth our while to do it, and it’s a lot of people’s time.

Q:

The financial industry market researchers Greenwich Associates surveyed small-business borrowers and found that the biggest banks not only failed to keep ties to small borrowers, they often actively severed them.

Do you think Wells Fargo has to re-establish trust with the smallbusiness marketplace?

Case: We never retreated from small business. And not to talk about competitors, but if you look at different approaches to small business, some came and went, and came back again, or will need to come back again. We’ve always been dedicated to this space, and this customer segment.

Bernstein: We are cognizant that the situation was ripe for people to feel like we weren’t serving them, and we tried to do whatever we could reasonably do to help our customers — and be very conscious of the fact even the customers we were calling to collect were often good people having tough times.

Q:

Do you understand why so many small-business owners seem to feel big banks got a bailout and then did nothing to help small businesses?

Bernstein: A lot of people who frankly are not very good credit risks and who want a loan, I can understand their frustration.

But Wells Fargo has been committed to small-business lending for a quite a while now, and we know here that we don’t help our customers, our communities or shareholders by declining a good loan.

Q:

We get a lot of comments from readers who feel they have been mistreated by their banks, and some of them name Wells Fargo.

Bernstein: That’s hard to understand, because we’re definitely doing more small-business lending than other banks.

Case: We’re doing everything we can to say yes to every single loan that’s possibly approvable.

Where Buyers And Sellers Meet 1000’s Of Ads Every Day

HONG KONG — China ranks first among 22 emerging Asian economies as the country most likely to maintain steady and rapid growth over the next five years, according to the Bloomberg Economic Momentum Index for Developing Asia.

China scored 76.2 percent in a ranking of 16 areas including economic competition, education level, urban migration, high-technology exports and inflation that measure a country’s ability to continue delivering high growth. India was second with a score of 64.1 percent and Vietnam third at 61.9 percent. East Timor was last at 25.3 percent.

The index suggests China and India’s economic surge is durable and will likely continue to drive global growth as the United States, Europe and Japan lag.

Gross domestic product in each of the top three Asian countries in the index expanded at least 5.4 percent a quarter on average throughout 2008 and 2009 while the U.S., the eurozone and Japan fell into recession.

“China has a proven track record, as they have maintained superior growth for a long time,” said Dariusz Kowalczyk, senior economist at Credit Agricole in Hong Kong.

In particular, the Chinese government “demonstrated their ability to manage the global crisis.”

In the past 30 years, China’s economy has expanded on average by 10 percent a year.

Criminal record? Good luck job hunting

By Erica Goode New York Times News Service

Convicted of robbing a video store in California in 1997, Ayanna Spikes decided to change the trajectory of her life. In 14 years, she has had no further brushes with the law.

The eight months she spent in prison, she said, were “the best thing that ever happened to me,” persuading her to pursue training in medical administration and complete coursework for a degree in psychology at the University of California, Berkeley. At 38, she is a far different person from the confused young woman who strayed into crime, she says.

But employers, initially impressed by her credentials, grow leery when they learn her history through criminal background checks. She has been turned down for more than a dozen jobs since finishing college in 2010.

The pool of Americans seeking jobs includes more people with criminal histories than ever before, a legacy in part of stiffer sentencing and increased enforcement for nonviolent crimes like drug offenses, criminal justice experts said. And each year, more than 700,000 people are released from state and federal prisons, a total that is expected to grow as states try to reduce the fiscal burden of their overcrowded penal institutions.

Almost 65 million Americans have some type of criminal record, either for an arrest or a conviction, according to a recent report by the National Employment Law Project, whose policy co-director, Maurice Emsellem, says that the figure is probably an underestimate.

Some, like Spikes, have left their criminal pasts far behind.

Others were convicted of minor offenses or of crimes that appear to have little relevance to the jobs they are seeking.

Employers once had to physically search court records to uncover the background of people they were considering hiring. But the Internet and the proliferation

Potential employers are impressed by Ayanna Spikes’ credentials until they learn that she served time in prison.

Websites like ScreenStaff.com are among the tools making it easier to learn in today’s hiring environment whether job applicants have criminal pasts. of screening companies that perform background checks have made digging into a job applicant’s history both easy and inexpensive for prospective employers.

In a 2010 survey by the Society for Human Resources Management, almost 90 percent of the companies surveyed, most of them large employers, said they conducted criminal background checks on some or all job candidates.

“We’re spending a tremendous amount of money incarcerating people and then creating a system where it’s almost impossible for

them to find gainful employment,” said Adam Klein, an employment lawyer with Outten & Golden in New York, a firm that has represented plaintiffs in class-action lawsuits against employers over criminal checks.

Many companies, advocates say, screen out anyone who has a hint of criminal activity in his or her background, in violation of government guidelines that demand that employers take into account the severity of an offense, the length of time that has passed and its relevance to the job in question. In some cases, they note, people have been turned away because of arrests that never resulted in convictions.

“I understand the employers’ response that, ‘We don’t want murderers working for us,’” Klein said. “What if you just have minor events, like arrests for drug use in college, speeding tickets, DWIs?” Employers argue that they already use common sense when they evaluate a candidate’s background and take steps to ensure that they are being fair.

“Advocacy groups are kind of saying that this is the day and age of the sign that says, ‘Convicts need not apply,’” said Rod Fliegel, a lawyer at Littler Mendelson, an employment law firm. “But in my experience, that would be taking the exception and presenting it as the rule.”

Fliegel and other lawyers representing companies said that employers were caught in a bind; they can also be sued if they fail to screen an employee who later harms someone. Some types of jobs — in the securities industry, for example — require that candidates be free of convictions for certain crimes. And when applicants are abundant and jobs are scarce, some employers say that they should be able to choose candidates who carry no legal baggage.

There is no federal law that prohibits discrimination against people with criminal records. But the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission has set guidelines on how employers can use

such records. Because African Americans, Hispanics and other minorities have higher rates of criminal convictions, a blanket policy that screens out anyone with a criminal history will discriminate against these groups, the commission says, and is unlawful under Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964.

The EEOC has been a plaintiff in several lawsuits over background checks, and the guidelines have led to a raft of lawsuits against companies under Title VII — at least seven are working their way through the courts.

Several new studies by criminologists are providing an encouraging picture of actual risks posed to employers by those whose crimes lie well in the past.

Called “redemption research,” the studies find that the risk that an ex-offender will be re-arrested decreases substantially over time, eventually becoming indistinguishable from that of someone of the same age with no record.

For first-time offenders, this point of “redemption” is reached seven to 10 years after a conviction.

For older first offenders, it comes significantly earlier. For some crimes and for offenders with multiple prior convictions, redemption takes considerably longer.

The studies have been cited in some lawsuits over criminal background checks. Taken collectively, they indicate that “it is no longer accurate to say that individuals with criminal records are always a higher risk than individuals without a criminal record,” said Shawn Bushway, an associate professor of criminal justice at the University at Albany, one of several researchers who have conducted redemption studies.

Spikes, who is still searching for a job, said she hoped she would eventually find an employer who could overlook her background.

“I’ve been told that I’m the kind of person that can pick myself up, dust myself off and give it a go again. What’s most important to me is that the story has somewhat of a happy ending.”

Mini Continued from G1 Dairy Queen, which also debuted a smaller milkshake this month, expects its ice cream costs to jump more than 10 percent this year.

Shrinking the snacks lets restaurateurs sell for less without sacrificing profitability, said Diane Swonk, chief economist at Mesirow Financial in Chicago.

“At the end of the day, they’re unable to pass on the increases to consumers as higher prices, so they’re downsizing meals,” she said.

Restaurants are following the lead of foodmakers, who debuted the concept about seven years ago at supermarkets, selling 100-calorie snack packs of Oreos and Chips Ahoy cookies, says Todd Hooper, a restaurant strategist at Kurt Salmon in New York. A few years later, PepsiCo copied with 100-calorie Cheetos and Doritos.

Snacks of that size may help put fat-wary customers at ease as they scan menus for an afternoon bite, especially now that more chains are revealing calorie counts on display cases in an effort to be more transparent.

Many restaurants serve entrees that clock in at 2,000 calories — or about an entire day’s recommended intake — so mini-foods can help balance out the bill of fare, said Dennis Lombardi, executive vice president at restaurant consultant WD Partners in Dublin, Ohio.

McDonald’s, which hawks several 700-calorie burgers, is also experimenting with how to scale back. The world’s biggest restaurant chain is testing $1.99 chicken bites at some sites in Detroit and has promoted Angus snack wraps, about half the size of the deluxe burger of the same name, to lure diners during mid-afternoon downtimes.

Serving less hearty helpings may turn off customers who still want big meals.

Supersized nation More than 70 million Americans weigh in as obese, according to federal data. “American society has become ‘obesogenic,’ characterized by environments that promote increased food intake, nonhealthful foods” — read: fast-food restaurants — “and physical inactivity,” according to the website for the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.

“Especially in the U.S., unlike other countries, consumers have gotten used to ‘super-size me,’” Mesirow’s Swonk says.

There’s also the risk that snack-sated diners will spend less as they trade down to cheaper mini-sizes.

Still, some restaurants may sell it as a chance to sample new menu items, Hooper says, which may generate sales gains and repeat visits.

“If you can get a mini, it’s not just the financial risk is down, but the risk of the meal being (dissatisfying) is reduced,” he said. “It allows you to get out of your rut.”

Perhaps in reflection of that view, challenges to mandatory retirement ages, which typically range from 62 to 70, have been cropping up more often, according to Poll and other experts. Traditionally, partners were considered employers, and thus not protected by the federal Age Discrimination in Employment Act. But a 2007 settlement between the EEOC and the law firm of Sidley Austin undermined that notion, with the EEOC successfully arguing that 32 older partners who had been demoted lacked a say in the management of the firm, and thus could be considered employees.

And last year, the EEOC filed suit against the firm of Kelley, Drye & Warren in New York, arguing that it acted illegally when it forced a partner, Eugene D’Ablemont, to give up his equity stake when he turned 70 and cut his bonus to $25,000 from $75,000.

The agency termed the suit “a wake-up call for law firms” and specifically cited the firm’s mandatory retirement age.

The firm has since dropped the forced-retirement rule, but the case of D’Ablemont, an employment lawyer who specializes in defending management in labor disputes, is pending. Kelley Drye is fighting back hard, illustrating the dangers in going public with age discrimination complaints. The firm countered in court filings that D’Ablemont’s billable hours had been falling precipitously, adding that he engaged in “objectionable behavior inconsistent with the expectations of a Kelley Drye partner.” D’Ablemont declined to comment, as did Kelley Drye, but legal experts say another victory by the EEOC could open the floodgates to many more such suits.

In the meantime — like Posada, whose not-so-subtle hint came when Girardi dropped him to No. 9 in the lineup, from No. 2 — older partners find themselves on the lookout for signals like a cut in the annual bonus. Despite the anemic economy, that’s often enough to do the trick.

“Some of these lawyers have egos the likes of which you can’t imagine,” Poll said. “The partners get offended, and that’s what the firm wants. The message is loud and clear — if it’s not, they’ll stick around, because there’s nowhere to go.”

On Wall Street, firms like Goldman don’t have a mandatory retirement age, but there are other ways of easing people out, like “de-partnering,” when partners

The best way to stave off that situation, said Poll, is to maintain deep relationships with clients.

“Very few people are so skilled that they can’t be replaced by a younger, more current practitioner,” he said. “You’ve got to be so connected to important clients that the firm is going to fear your departure.”

Levine and other law firm bosses are quick to point out that a fall-off in performance isn’t always a matter of age. Some partners at his firm, Greenberg Glusker, are still going strong in their 70s, while much younger partners have occasionally had to be told they have lost their edge.

But chief executives still have a habit of hanging on, said Jeffrey Sonnenfeld, a professor at the Yale School of Management and the author of a book on the subject, “The Hero’s Farewell.” Sonnenfeld has even developed a taxonomy to describe how different executives handle the challenge of going into the sunset.

The monarchs stamp out rivals and remain on the throne until they die or are forced out, while the ambassadors become senior statesmen, attending the economic forum at Davos, Switzerland, and similar affairs. Generals leave under pressure and spend their days plotting a Napoleonic return to power. Finally, there are the governors, who go on to do something else, like philanthropy or public service.

Rupert Murdoch at Fox and Sumner Redstone at Viacom are quintessential monarchs, but Andrew Grove has became an ambassador for Intel, Sonnenfeld said. Steve Jobs is a general at Apple, and Hank Paulson, formerly of Goldman Sachs, emerged as a governor with his tenure as Treasury secretary under President George W. Bush.

Arthur Russ, a Buffalo lawyer who turned 68 this year, said: “I think 65 is the new 45. You end up at 65 and you do have enough money to retire, but you’ve been doing this your whole life. I enjoyed practicing law.”

Continued from G1 As roughly 44 million baby boomers hit retirement age over the next decade, the problem of how and when to leave a certain profession is becoming a hot-button issue, said Robert Gordon, a professor of economics at Northwestern University. Many older workers have had to put off retirement because of stock market losses during the recent deep recession. And while unemployment among older workers is lower than the national average at 6.2 percent, it’s up sharply from three years ago, when it stood at 2.9 percent.

Some jobs will always have age restrictions — police officers, firefighters, surgeons and the like.

And in corporate America, mandatory retirement ages for senior management face less resistance, thanks in part to generous incentives to leave early that are perfectly legal. What’s more, federal law permits age limits for the top brass who set corporate policy.

are quietly dropped from the top ranks.

It is an especially tough issue in the legal profession. There is no mandatory retirement age for federal judges — one remains on the bench at 103 — and solo practitioners often work into their 70s and 80s. Senior partners at big law firms, on the other hand, frequently feel the heat much sooner.

“It’s a huge issue with law firms amid the downturn,” said Jonathan Ben-Asher, an employment lawyer in New York. “Partners may be eased out or chucked out, but in my experience, it is much harder for older partners to maintain their position if their billable hours decline. They’re not given the same courtesies or deference there was in years past because there is less money to go around.”

While Levine, the law partner from Los Angeles, always breaks the news in person, sometimes the message isn’t even delivered faceto-face. One New York real estate lawyer learned by letter that he was to lose his equity share in the partnership where he had worked for nearly 20 years, but had the option of staying on with a salary cut of 10 percent and a limited contract that would have to be renewed by the firm every 18 months.

“I was surprised and hurt,” said the lawyer, who insisted on anonymity because he still practices law and occasionally works with his old firm. “You couldn’t go out and tell people you were fired.

And it’s hard to move on when you’re 50 or 60.” Strong relationships with clients helped him land a new job at a larger firm, he said, calling that “pretty good evidence I didn’t need a drool cup.”

Edward Poll, a Los Angeles consultant who works with law firms on improving the bottom line, recalled the case of a partner told of his fate by an office manager after his computer password no longer worked.

Prineville Continued from G1 “There’s a group of electricians working on the Facebook data center who come in just about every day for lunch wearing those yellow vests,” Jeff Anderson said.

Anderson grew up in the Willamette Valley but moved to Central Oregon in the 1970s. He worked steadily in the construction industry until the housing market crashed. Crook County’s unemployment rate skyrocketed from 7.8 percent in January 2008 to a range of 15 to 19 percent — the highest in the state for the past three years, according to Oregon Employment Department reports.

Finding a home in Prineville “We’ve got 107 (electricians) and 10 material handlers working on the Facebook project,” said Jeff Fowlds, one of the $35per-hour electricians working for Rosendin Electric, headquartered in San Jose, Calif. (In addition to contracting the electrical work on the Facebook job, Rosendin also has offices in Hillsboro, where the company is the electrical contractor for an expansion of Intel, and in Boardman, in northeast Oregon, where the company is wiring a project for Amazon.com, he said.)

Fowlds, who lives near Sunriver, said that while Rosendin and some of the other Facebook contractors are based outside of Central Oregon, he and a majority of the union workers “are Central Oregon guys.”

“Construction workers are not always well received in the towns we work in, but the people of Prineville have been very accommodating,” Fowlds said. “This is kind of a piece of Americana. The people are genuine and friendly.”

In stores throughout the community, business owners and others expressed their appreciation in kind for the construction crews.

“I think the Facebook workers have been very positive for the city of Prineville,” said Jim Lane, owner of Prineville Men’s Wear on Main Street. “Many of the electricians, plumbers, tinsmiths and some of the computer engineers are renting houses and apartments.” Many of those properties — some foreclosed — have been vacant since the recession.

“They are buying work clothes in here, everything from overalls to jeans, shirts, boots, hats and coats,” he said, which has helped take up some of the slack from declining sales due to the loss of construction workers, loggers and lumber mill workers in recent years.

“The timber industry has always had its highs and lows, and people who live here and stay in that line of work ride the highs and lows. They are used to it,” Lane said.

However, he said, construction of the data center is raising hopes that other companies will follow Facebook’s lead and build data centers or set up related high-tech businesses, which Lane said he believes will help stabilize Prineville’s economy. On Thursday, city officials said they are talking with other technology companies about building in Prineville.

“Facebook started something, and I hope Google or somebody comes along behind them,” Lane said. “It has been good, and the potential for something down the road may be even greater.”

Ripple effect Tom Azdill, a foreman at FabTech Industrial Fabrication and Powder Coating in Prineville, said in the 25 years he’s lived here, the combination of the closing of lumber mills, the move of Les

“Construction workers are not always well received in the towns we work in, but the people of Prineville have been very accommodating.

This is kind of a piece of Americana. The people are genuine and friendly.”

In the past year and a half, more than 1,400 construction workers have been issued the yellow vests that Prineville’s business community has been all too happy to see around town. Somewhere around 300 of those workers have been working at the Facebook data center site, on Tom McCall Road, every day during the past 16 months, according to the site manager, Ken Patchett. “Wherever we go in this community, people tell us we (have) helped,” he says.

“First and foremost, the work we’ve done for Facebook allowed us to double our staff from three employees to six employees.”

Many of the Facebook contractors are renting properties that have for years been vacant. Samantha Kline, owner of the Perfect For “U” appliance and furniture store in Prineville, says the drop in housing prices and the glut of foreclosed homes have improved her business in the past year. “On some of these foreclosed houses, they’re having to replace stoves, refrigerators, dishwashers and everything because people stripped them,” she says.

Schwab Tire Centers from Prineville to Bend, and the collapse of the housing market and construction industry has left a legacy of empty houses.

“If you drive around, you look and see ‘for sale’ signs everywhere,” Azdill said. “If you look around, it appears there’s an empty house in every block.”

Fortunately for Azdill, however, business is booming at Fab-Tech due in part to orders for metal fabrication work for the Facebook data center, he said.

At Perfect For “U” appliance and furniture store in Prineville, owner Samantha Kline said that with the high unemployment rates, she’s noticed customers are more conservative with their purchases, buying less expensive home furnishings and more often opting for low-end items instead of top-of-the-line washing machines, refrigerators, sofas or dining room sets.

During the past year or so, however, Kline said she’s noticed that with the drop in housing prices and the glut of foreclosed homes, more young families who once lived in apartments now can afford to buy homes. And some are

buying furniture they need to fill up all the rooms.

“On some of these foreclosed houses, they’re having to replace stoves, refrigerators, dishwashers and everything because people stripped them,” Kline said.

Facebook has also purchased appliances from Kline. When data center officials asked her about furnishing its lunch room, she directed them to Grizzly Mountain Custom Juniper Furniture and Cabinets, a Prinevillebased business that landed the

Since December 2009, more than 1,400 construction workers in a variety of trades — cement finishers, block layers, carpenters, plumbers, electricians — have completed the mandatory orientation and safety training program and been issued the yellow vests the business community associates with Prineville employees, said Ken Patchett, site manager for the Facebook data center.

Out of that 1,400, he said, the number working on the site daily has averaged between 250 and 300 during the past 16 months.

“The economy around here has been really bad, with the highest unemployment rate in the entire state, but wherever we go in this community, people tell us we helped bridge that gap — that without Facebook it would have been much worse,” said Patchett, who left a job with Google and moved from Hood River to Prineville for the Facebook job.

Patchett said he’s proud that Facebook made a commitment to contract as much manufacturing work as possible with local companies such as Grizzly Mountain, Fab-Tech and Pro-Line Fabrication, also a metal fabrication company.

Fab-Tech is owned by Robert Powell, who grew up on an 80acre farm in the nearby town of Mitchell, population 170. He graduated in a class of eight at Mitchell High School in 1991 and went on to found Fab-Tech in 1999.

Powell said orders from

Facebook have helped propel the growth of his business this past year. “First and foremost, the work we’ve done for Facebook allowed us to double our staff from three employees to six employees,” said Powell, who owns the company with his wife, Renee. The shop is located about two blocks south of the Facebook data center on Tom McCall Road.

Powell said Fab-Tech’s sales have grown 40 percent during the past year, due largely to Facebook orders to build and supply products such as steel handrails, ladders, walkways, racks, generator platforms, flashings and ornamental work, including a large metal planter box for a giant ponderosa pine tree.

“We also built some stainless steel kitchen tables, sliding doors, computer carts, keyboard panels and thousands of pieces of different forms of steel paneling,” he said. “We built 872 pieces of one style of paneling alone.”

contract to make juniper tables and benches.

At Prineville’s City Center Motel, manager Cyndi Hull said Facebook’s construction crews gave the motel a big boost during the normally slow winter months by renting 14 of the motel’s 20 rooms.

“It really helps having so many of them here. We get mostly electricians and concrete workers here,” Hull said, adding that some of the tradesmen live in the Willamette Valley. Most rent motel rooms by the week or month to get a discount rate, even though they go home on the weekends.

“Some of them have been staying here so long they are like family now,” Hull said.

ness has benefited from orders to fabricate structural steel for Facebook’s power substation, as well as racks, trays, hangers for electrical wiring and conduit.

Pettyjohn, a former rodeo bull rider and team roper, said he got his start in the metal fabricating business 20 years ago building truck flatbeds, bumpers and trailers out of a farm shop in Powell Butte. With the growth in business four years ago, he built his current shop along Tom McCall Road, which turned out to be serendipitous.

“In addition to the work we’ve gotten directly from Facebook, we’ve built a lot of flatbeds and bumpers for the construction workers who drive by our shop every day,” Pettyjohn said.

“Most of the guys working there are getting union wages,” he said, “so they are doing pretty good.

They have money to spend.”

An Italian renaissance in the U.S. How to work around a quick-to-fail battery

By Towle Tompkins New York Times News Service

For fans of Italian cars — those with positive recollections, anyway — the high-profile introduction of the Fiat 500 to the United States this year holds the promise of a long-awaited brand revival.

But for the 500 to be a genuine success, paving the way for a full line of European driver’s cars to follow, its appeal would have to be more durable than a pretty face and an atR E V I E W tractive body.

My quest to plumb the 500’s inner beauty recently took me on a long drive that included stops in Naples, Verona, Florence, Rome and Venice.

Like the 500, these cities have Italian antecedents with American appeal. The route from Naples, Maine, to Verona, N.J., to Florence, S.C., to Rome, Ga., to Venice, Fla., also included a stop in Alexandria — Virginia, that is — to sample Fiat 500s from the postwar generation.

On overseas business trips I have admired the 21st-century 500 — a reincarnation of the diminutive 1957-75 Cinquecento — squirting around cities like Berlin and Stockholm. So when Fiat offered an initial allocation of American 500s on its U.S. website last year, I put a $500 deposit on a Prima Edizione model and snagged No. 172 before the run of 500 cars sold out in 100 minutes.

The Prima Edizione is an offshoot of the $17,500 Sport model, dressed up with a black-painted roof and beltline, special badges and seat trim, a numbered dashboard plaque and a power sunroof. Including a $500 destination charge, my car, in a rich shade of red, cost $20,350.

Days after it arrived in March, with my GPS unit, E-ZPass, hotel reservations and printout from bedbugregistry.com in hand, I took off from Naples, Maine, a charming lakeside town of 4,000.

Q:

My question has to do with our 2005 Acura RL and 2008 Acura TL. When we travel and leave one or both cars parked in our garage or in a long-term parking lot, we always return to find the car with a dead battery. The dealership said there is nothing we can do about this because the battery has to power the car’s computer even when the car isn’t in use.

Does this mean we will always return to a dead battery after leaving the car for a few days?

Typical “parasitic losses” — current flow with everything turned off — from modern vehicle electronics are in the 50-milliamp range or less, meaning a fully charged battery should hold its charge well enough to start the engine after sitting for several weeks.

Have the battery properly charged, then test its load and/ or capacitance to determine its condition. Modern fuel-injected engines tend to start so quickly that a weak battery may be difficult to identify in daily driving.

I suspect you’ll find that in both batteries the ability to hold a charge and to deliver high starting amperage is compromised.

Testing both cars for excess parasitic losses might identify a problem, and new batteries might eliminate the issue for several years. In the short run, the quick fix is to install a master electrical switch or simply disconnect the battery while the vehicle is parked for any significant length of time. This is a cheap antitheft system as well.

Granted, the engine management system will have to relearn its fuel curve and idle characteristics, and you’ll have to reset all the presets on the stereo and HVAC system, but at least you’ll know the car will start when you return.

Chip Litherland / New York Times News Service

A 2,123-mile test drive through Venice, Fla., and other American cities with Old World namesakes showcases the character and reliability of one American Fiat model, the Prima Edizione Fiat 500.

2012 Fiat 500 Price: Starting at $15,500 As tested: $20,350 Type: Front-engine, front-wheeldrive subcompact hatchback in various models Engine: 1.4-liter DOHC 16-valve MultiAir inline four-cylinder Mileage: To be determined; estimated 38 mpg highway Source: Fiat 500 USA

are hilly; to keep the 101-horsepower engine charging along, I had to shift the 5-speed often, but the car proved as poised as George Clooney sailing Lake Como.

I arrived in Verona, a township of about 13,000 some 20 miles west of Manhattan. Filling the tank with 9.5 gallons of premium and doing some long division, I found that the 364-mile first leg of the trip yielded 38.3 mpg, right on the EPA highway estimate of 38.

Next up, Dante’s autobahn — the New Jersey Turnpike, where

treacherous merges and construction projects large enough to be seen from outer space were made all the more entertaining by an afternoon of ark-building rain. But the Fiat was absolutely composed: precise steering, no hydroplaning and brakes that grabbed more aggressively than Tony Soprano at the Bada Bing.

My arrival in the Washington area coincided with the evening rush hour, where a cascading rain added to the usual chaos. Fortunately, the GPS unit’s Catherine Zeta-Jones (so I imagined) routed me through suburban neighborhoods to my Virginia hotel.

This 221-mile segment returned 32.5 mpg. The day’s tally: 585 miles, nine states and the disintegration of my temporary cardboard license plate.

The 1.4-liter Fiat 500 has a charmingly optimistic 140-mph speedometer. The back seat can accept passengers ranging in size from infants to Tom Cruise, but average adults will find it sausage-casing tight. The rest of the

trip took me through four more states; one day was mostly the interstate between Florence and Atlanta, a refined freeway whose only drawback was the grooved pavement — the tires dug into the rain grooves and tossed the car back and forth.

Driving 2,123 miles through 13 states showcased the Fiat 500’s character and solidity. I love the thick leather-with-red-stitching steering wheel. The driver-side mirror has a useful blind-spot reflector. The sliding shade for the sunroof is welcome. And the golfball-size chrome gearshift knob is quite slick even if it doesn’t rival the snick-snick precision of a Mazda Miata.

So does the 2012 Fiat 500 possess the character of the original or exude any special Italianness?

Well, no and no. It’s definitely not an idiosyncratic Italian car from the 1960s. But it proudly wears its reliability and craftsmanship like an Armani suit. The public admires it, and the fun-to-drive meter reads 11.

Q:

Our 2010 Toyota Camry V-6 has a noisy engine.

For the first several miles, it sounds like old-fashioned lifter clatter. The noise is most noticeable under light acceleration, and it goes away when the engine reaches operating temperature. The Toyota dealer says the noise is normal. Is it?

Probably. Fuel injectors in today’s high-pressure fuel-injection systems — particularly in newer, direct-injection systems — tend to make an audible clicking sound, particularly when the engine is started cold, because of the extra fuel delivered, and under acceleration. The easiest way to determine where the clicking is coming from is to use an automotive stethoscope to “listen” to the injectors and valve train.

Unfortunately, getting access to these requires a fair amount of disassembly.

A:

Q:

There seems to be a movement back to four-cylinder engines with turbochargers. Do factory-installed turbochargers shorten engine life?

I sure hope not. The last three vehicles we’ve owned have been turbocharged VW Passats. We traded our ’05 with 140,000 miles for an ’07 with 63,000 miles. And our youngest son drove a hopped-up turbo Jetta for well over 100,000 miles. No engine or turbo problems.

With today’s better-quality lubricants — especially synthetic motor oils — along with watercooled turbochargers, reliability isn’t a problem.

by Chris Licht, nonfiction, $23

The hard-driving cocreator of MSNBC’s Morning Joe was unprepared for the pain, fear, and helplessness he felt after suffering a brain hemorrhage.

But as he details in this candid, thoughtful book, it was the life-affirming lessons he took from the debilitating event that stunned him the most.

lphonso harris remembers the frigid night in korea when he

tried to save the life of his buddy, a New Jersey soldier he knew only as Eisenhardt. “I put him under my jacket to keep him warm and tried to stop egf the bleeding. He kept saying, ‘I’m gonna die,’ and that ate me up because he had a 4-month-old daughter he had never seen.” Harris promised that if he made it home, he’d find Eisenhardt’s wife and daughter and tell them how he died. Those were the preInternet days, though, and Harris was unable to locate them. It wasn’t until 60 years later that he made good on his vow. Jennifer Bowen, a reporter from the Belleville NewsDemocrat in Illinois, heard Harris’s story and tracked down Eisenhardt’s daughter, Bea Harrison, in Pennsylvania. “It overwhelmed me that there was someone who knew my dad,” Harrison recalls. On May 3, the two finally met. “I told Bea her father was a good man doing a dangerous job,” Harris, 81, says. “Everybody in the company liked him.” At the end of the visit, he told her: “I’ve waited 60 years, but it feels so good to do what I said I would.”

Q Someone in my town Q: who was a casual (but, w I thought, sort of good) acquaintance unfriended a me on Facebook. I have m no idea why. I see her n at a lot of events. Should a I say something? Do I now introduce her as my n ““unfriend”?

—Ann — F., Ridgefield, Conn.

WHERE TO GET IT

7-MINUTE SOLUTION

DO A QUICKIE CAR WASH AT HOME Robert Sinclair of AAA on getting professional-looking results in your own driveway

Pick a shady spot. Sunlight will dry any soap suds onto your car, which will force you to do a lot of extra rinsing.

1

Rinse before you rub. Use a hose to wash off surface grime, beginning on the roof and working your way down. Don’t rub with a cloth—the dirt will scratch the finish.

2

Choose the right soap. Avoid using dishwashing liquid or laundry detergent: Both have grease cutters that can strip the car’s finish.

Use soap made specifically for cars.

3

Start at the top. Fill two buckets, one with sudsy water and one with plain water for rinsing. Soap up a good-quality sponge or microfiber cloth. Starting with the roof, wash, then rinse, one section at a time.

4

Dry it yourself. Use a microfiber cloth to dry your car—letting it air-dry will leave unsightly streaks.

5

A: Ah, Facebook, the grand A sscience experiment of human interaction. It would be tempting to confront your “unfriend,” but this is the perfect opportunity for benign, Zen-like silence. There are three possible scenarios, and keeping mum works for all of them. If she changed your status by mistake, she’ll figure it out, since Facebook will be nagging her to refriend you every two seconds. If she is semi-sane but has some issue with you, she will be relieved to avoid a confrontation. Finally, if she has a narcissistic personality disorder, she will be incredibly irritated that you haven’t noticed— which, let’s face it, would be the most fun of all. And you will know, because she will find ways to bring up her Facebook page in every conversation. But whatever the case, look at this as amounting to one less person whose tedious status reports (“Having sushi tonight!”) you’ll have to read.

RAY ROMANO, ANDRE BRAUGHER, AND SCOTT BAKULA TAKE THEIR SHOTS AT MIDLIFE—FROM COLONOSCOPIES TO SPOUSAL MISCOMMUNICATION

R

ay romano is on fire! he’s playing hoops after PARADE’s photo shoot in Los Angeles and landing every skyhook and jump shot with a swish. Not that his castmates from Men of a Certain Age are very impressed. “Hey, careful of your back, Ray,” Scott Bakula, 56, teases. “Yeah,” says Andre Braugher, 48, “we don’t want you to tweak anything.” Romano, 53, puts down the ball. “You’re probably right,” he says with a smirk. “I should go check my blood pressure.”

Who’d have thought the guys from Everybody Loves Raymond, Quantum Leap, and Homicide: Life on the Street would reinvent themselves as poster boys for the midlife set? On Men of a Certain Age, a drama (with laughs) now in its second season (TNT, Wednesdays, 10 p.m. ET), the three actors play old college friends balancing the joys—and joint problems—of middle age. What makes the show so MEN OF A CERTAIN AGE Costars Bakula, Braugher, special is the voice it gives to topand Romano (opposite, from ics rarely discussed by men, on TV left) do some male bonding.

“When women get together, or off: relationships, insecurities, job they’re all, ‘How are the kids?’ ” woes. … Joe (Romano) is a divorced Romano says. “Men just go, ‘Did you see the game?’ ” dad and party-store owner who can’t shake his dream of playing pro golf.

Owen (Braugher) is a married car-dealership manager forever overshadowed by his father. Terry (Bakula) is the rakish single actor who never quite gets his big break. “Three guys reluctantly facing up to the realities of grown-up life” is how Bakula puts it.

Off camera, the trio bonds in a way that would feel familiar to fans of the show. Once Romano catches his breath, they gather around a table to talk about work, male friendships, and a midlife-crisis moment that turned into a real pain in the … Well, keep reading.

PARADE: Watching Men of a Certain Age, you start to wonder if being

an adult male is all it’s cracked up to be.

ROMANO: Being

a man our age isn’t always fun, and it isn’t always good.

That’s all we’re showing. Men have known it for thousands of years.

We’re just putting it on TV. The unglamorous side of things.

BRAUGHER: The aches and pains.

You guys all look great. How do you feel personally about the passing of the years?

BRAUGHER: I

love my geezerhood.

Time only flows in one direction, as far as we know. You have to go with it, because these are the only times we’ve got.

These are the good times. No, I do not look as good as I did at 26, but guess what? I’m not 26.

ROMANO: I think I have more of a degree of dread—you’re not even 50 yet, Andre. I do the numbers in my head and go, “I can’t believe this is happening.”

BAKULA: Aging is a state of mind.

Happily, because we all have young kids, that keeps us young.

[Bakula and actress Chelsea Field were together for 14 years before marrying two years ago. They have two sons, and Bakula has two older children from a previous marriage.

Braugher and actress Ami Brabson have been wed for 19 years and have three sons. Ray and Anna Romano have been married for 23 years and have four children.] Maybe I’m kidding myself, but it’s a trick that works for me.

BRAUGHER: You’re not kidding yourself. You just have to be careful. A couple of years ago, I came home and my kids were playing basketball. I jumped out of the car and started playing.

Next thing I knew, I had a fractured ankle.

THE DINER THINGS IN LIFE “This show looks at the good, the bad, and the ugly in relationships,” says Bakula.

Sounds like a moment plucked from the show. How much of Men of a Certain Age is drawn from your own lives?

ROMANO: Unfortunately, there’s a

lot of me in my character. On Raymond, we wrote what we knew, but we sitcomized it, so things came out in a bigger, broader way. That’s not saying I’m playing myself here. I’m not.

But things definitely come up.

BRAUGHER: Like being invisible.

ROMANO: Yeah, we did a little run on the show about the fact that there’s an entire generation of women for whom guys like us don’t exist. I’ll be at a stoplight next to a woman in another car.

In the old days, I might have gotten at least a slightly illicit glance back. But now it’s as if they’re seeing their grandpa. You’re completely invisible to them.

Imagine if you weren’t famous!

ROMANO: Yeah, at

least give me that! I don’t even get “Oh, that’s the old guy from TV.” You’ve all been with your wives a long time. Any relationship advice for readers?

BRAUGHER: Obey.

BAKULA: Communicate

and obey.

ROMANO: Well, if I can get more

specific, it’s great in our business if only one person is needy and craves attention. I’m lucky my wife is not a narcissist and is so far removed continued on page 10

ROMANO: Try telling that to my wife. It’s true you don’t see a lot of male-friendship shows.

There’s Entourage, but those guys are living in such a different world, with money and movie stars. We’re more like Oldtourage.

Q: Can muscle really “turn into” fat?

A: No. What actually happens is that your muscle fibers can grow smaller while your fat cells grow larger.

Using your muscles makes the fibers grow; if you stop working out, they shrink. Similarly, your body’s fat cells can change in size depending on how much fat each one stores.

—Carl Foster, Ph.D., professor of exercise and sports science at the University of Wisconsin– La Crosse, past president of the American College of Sports Medicine

Stadium or concert arena “Look for a deli that serves fresh sandwiches—try turkey or grilled chicken on whole wheat,” Upton says. Compared to a typical ballpark hot dog, your city’s signature dish might also be a wise choice. For example, the crab cake sandwich in Baltimore, the spicy tuna “Ichiroll” in Seattle, and the steamed bun and Thai vegetable salad in San Francisco are all home runs.

out very badly. Headlines are often involved. Above the fold.

My overwrought nature came into full bloom when I was about 8 years old. I started grilling my mother about heaven, a state of boring bliss she assured me would last forever. The key word here: For-evvvvvv-er.

“What will we do there all day?”

I asked.

“We won’t have to do anything,” Mom said as she stood at the sink

and washed dishes. “It’s heaven.

We’ll just relax.”

“Relax? All day long?”

“You’ll love it,” she said, pausing to stare out the window. “We’ll be together. With no housework.”

“Well, how will we find each other?”

“People will be giving directions,” Mom said, her voice starting to rise.

“What people?”

“Angels, Connie. Angels will

yo in the right direction.” point you “So I’m going to be all alo alone when I get there?”

“Of course not,” she said, patting our dog’s head. “Shilo will be waiting for you.”

“Shilo’s going to die?”

That pretty much sealed it for me. Life was a long road of uncertainty, and it would b be my full-time job, with no benefits benefits, to worry for all of you people who w think all those bumps and po potholes are going to be somebo somebody else’s destiny.

Now I don’t want to make this a gende gender issue, but I would like to point ou out that a Gallup poll last year repo reported that stress and worry decline for men after age 50.

What of the women, you ask?

The p poll included this whopper of an ad addendum: Women suffer greater stress, worry, and sadness than me men—at all ages.

Cons Consider me not even close to stunned. Exhibit A: My marriage.

Nobody is more willfully oblivious to life’s sneaky turns than my husband. Happy, happy, that guy.

Likes to rub it in, too.

“Why do you worry?” he always asks me.

“I’m doing it for both of us,” I always reply. “Honey,” I add.

By Marilyn vos Savant Can an aftershock be more intense than the original earthquake?

Yes. In those cases, earlier quakes would be redefined as “foreshocks.” The earthquake with the largest magnitude is called the “main shock.” Later quakes are “aftershocks.”

When it comes to human papillomavirus (HPV), females are only half the equation. There are 30 to 40 types of HPV that will affect an estimated 75% to 80% of males and females in their lifetime. For most, HPV clears on its own. But, for others who don’t clear certain types, HPV could cause cervical cancer in females and other types of HPV could cause genital warts in both males and females.

And there’s no way to predict who will or won’t clear the virus.

GARDASIL is the only HPV vaccine that helps protect against 4 types of HPV. In girls and young women ages 9 to 26, GARDASIL helps protect against 2 types of HPV that cause about 75% of cervical cancer cases, and 2 more types that cause 90% of genital warts cases. In boys and young men ages 9 to 26, GARDASIL helps protect against 90% of genital warts cases.

GARDASIL may not fully protect everyone, nor will it protect against diseases caused by other HPV types or against diseases not caused by HPV. GARDASIL does not prevent all types of cervical cancer, so it’s important for women to continue routine cervical cancer screenings.

IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION Anyone who is allergic to the ingredients of GARDASIL, including those severely allergic to yeast, should not receive the vaccine. GARDASIL is not for women who are pregnant.

The side effects include pain, swelling, itching, bruising, and redness at the injection site, headache, fever, nausea, dizziness, vomiting, and fainting. Fainting can happen after getting GARDASIL. Sometimes people who faint can fall and hurt themselves. For this reason, your child’s health care professional may ask your child to sit or lie down for 15 minutes after he or she gets GARDASIL. Some people who faint might shake or become stiff. This may require evaluation or treatment by your child’s health care professional.

Only a doctor or health care professional can decide if GARDASIL is right for your child.

You are encouraged to report negative side effects of prescription drugs to the FDA. Visit www.fda.gov/medwatch or call 1-800-FDA-1088. Please read the Patient Information on the next page and discuss it with your child’s doctor or health care professional.

ROMANO: Or saddle sores.

BRAUGHER: The only thing my wife talked me out of was, I had bought a one-man tent and a sleeping bag, and she said, “Absolutely not. You’re not sleeping by the side of the road or in campsites. You have a credit card—use it.”

My kids are going to feel the same way about me. And my wife still won’t sleep with me, but, hey, I’ve adapted.

When I was growing up, my parents would make us kids pretend we had glue stuck to our bums to keep us at the dinner table. Whoever stayed put the longest was crowned the winner for the night. Now I do the same thing with my children, a 3-year-old and an 8-year-old. Kids, at least boys, are always jumping up and down. But on taco

Chicken Tacos 1 cup brown rice 2 cups chicken broth 1 can black beans 1 onion, sliced into thin strips 3 Tbsp extra-virgin olive oil 4 chicken breasts, cut into strips 1 package taco seasoning 8 flour tortillas (6–7 inches) 1 cup shredded lettuce 1 cup shredded cheese 1 fresh avocado, sliced

1. Cook rice according to package directions, using chicken broth, not water. Heat beans on low.

2. Sauté onion in olive oil on medium-low, about 10 minutes.

3. Add chicken; cook on medium until meat is cooked through.

For last 2 minutes, brown on high. Mix 2–3 Tbsp taco seasoning with a little hot water; add to chicken. Simmer on low, 1 minute, stirring until mixed.

4. Heat oven to 250°F. Wrap tortillas in foil. Place in oven 15 minutes before dinner to warm.

5. Serve chicken, rice, beans, lettuce, cheese, and avocado in small bowls. Other add-ins to try: scallions, tomatoes, red onions.

nights, mine usually sit still because they love creating their own meals. I’ve always fed my kids what I feed the adults, so they’re good eaters. But setting up a taco bar gives them some choice in what goes on their plate. I find they actually try more foods as a result. Plus, it’s a way of giving them an activity—and I get a break while they serve themselves!

P “To save yourself time, make the chicken the night before and warm it a few minutes before you’re ready to eat.”

P “It’s hard to get vegetables into kids’ meals, so sometimes I add in chopped string beans or broccoli left over from the day before.”

P “For little kids, prepare the taco, roll it up, and stick a toothpick in to hold it together. Otherwise, you’ll have a crying mess—‘My taco fell apart!’ ”
