Wyden’s idea for stimulus bonds: loved by states, but under attack

Dugan faces 1st contest in years

Program to pay for Hwy. 97 widening

Onetime deputy DA takes on former boss

WASHINGTON — In the dark economic days of early 2009, as lawmakers scrambled to assemble a bill to stimulate the U.S. economy, attention focused on unemployment benefits, infrastructure spending and tax cuts.

But a little-known bond program designed to make it easier for state and local governments to borrow money has led to nearly as much spending to date as every contract, grant and loan funded through the stimulus.

Municipal bond markets are the furthest thing from a cable-news talker, but with more than $90 billion in Build America Bonds issued over the past year, the program has quickly become a major way for states to pay for new roads, bridges and other infrastructure projects.

Unlike traditional bonds issued by states and local governments, which provide tax-free interest payments to investors, Build America Bonds are taxable. Instead, the federal government pays 35 percent of interest costs to the government that issues the bonds.

The program was championed in the U.S. Senate as far back as 2004

by Sen. Ron Wyden, D-Ore., and former Sen. Jim Talent, R-Mo. Now, when Wyden calls the bonds “the hottest thing in municipal finance,” as he’s wont to do, he’s right. In just a year, they’ve come to make up about 20 percent of state and local bond issues, according to the U.S. Treasury Department.

The bonds are the answer to a long-standing question, Wyden said: “The country is acutely aware that you cannot have big-league economy with little-league transportation growth. The question is, how do you find new revenue in a way that is politically acceptable?”

But critics have pointed out a number of problems stemming from the bond program.

The first contested race for Deschutes County district attorney in more than 15 years is heating up, with both candidates touting their experience in and out of the courtroom — and questioning each other’s ability to manage the county’s prosecutors.

Patrick Flaherty, an attorney with the Bend law firm of Wright, Van Handel & Flaherty who once served as chief deputy district attorney, is challenging his former • Meet the candidates, boss, District AtPage A9 torney Mike Dugan, in the May election.

Dugan says he’s looking for another term because he believes he’s done a good job, and has earned the respect of his staff, law enforcement officials and the community. Flaherty says he thinks Dugan, who was first elected in 1986, has been in office too long and has placed too much of his focus on politics and getting convictions.

Both men have worked as prosecutors and defense attorneys, and say they know what it takes to have success in the courtroom and run an efficient office.

ust more than 2 weeks old, Jaxon Mersereau already belongs to a group that has grown smaller in recent years — people born in Central Oregon.

The number of births decreased at every hospital in the region from 2008 to 2009, when both St. Charles Redmond and Mountain View Hospital in Madras saw 20 percent fewer newborns.

That number is more than four times Oregon’s statewide decline of nearly 4.5 percent in 2009, according to preliminary numbers.

And the regional trend appears to be continuing during the first three months of this year, when the number of births at area hospitals again dropped compared with January through March 2009.

The decrease is consistent with a nationwide drop in the birth rate in recent years for nearly all women of child-bearing age, according to numbers released this month by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. The national decline has been linked to the recession, with the Pew Research Center finding birth rates in 2008 dropped at a greater rate in states with the biggest decreases in per capita income.

But local health officials and an Oregon demographer who studies population trends believe other factors have played a significant role in lowering birth rates. Three major influences: long-term birth control methods, more women seeking higher education and generational birth trends.

‘Baby bust’

There are about 1.2 million lawyers in the U.S. They learned their craft at 200 American Bar Association-approved law schools, of which the top 20 or so are the most competitive, all with top-notch professors and students.

Goldman’s woes just the beginning for Wall Street’s

By Louise Story and Gretchen Morgenson New York Times News Service

For Goldman Sachs, it was a relatively small transaction. But for the bank — and the rest of Wall Street — the stakes couldn’t be higher.

Accusations that Goldman defrauded customers who bought investments tied to risky subprime mortgages have only just begun to reverberate through the financial world. The civil lawsuit filed against Goldman on Friday by the Securities and Exchange Commission seemed to confirm many Americans’ worst suspicions about Wall Street: that the game is rigged, the odds stacked in the banks’ favor. It is the first big case — but probably not the last, legal experts said — to delve into a Wall Street firm’s role in the mortgage fiasco.

It is a particularly sensitive time for Wall Street. Washington policymakers are hotly debating a sweeping overhaul of the nation’s financial regulations, and the news could embolden those seeking to rein in the banks. President Barack Obama on Saturday stepped up pressure for financial reform by accusing Republicans of “cynical and deceptive” attacks on the measure.

Gates: Iran strategy lacking

By David E. Sanger and Thom Shanker New York Times News Service

Defense Secretary Robert Gates has warned in a secret three-page memorandum to top White House officials that the United States does not have an effective long-range policy for dealing with Iran’s steady progress toward nuclear capability, according to government officials familiar with the document.

Several officials said the highly classified analysis, written in January to President Barack Obama’s national security adviser, Gen. James Jones, touched off an intense effort inside the Pentagon, the White House and the intelligence agencies to develop new options for Obama. They include a revised set of military alternatives, still under development, to be considered should diplomacy

In an interview Friday, Jones the memorandum also calls for declined to speak about the memo. new thinking about how the “The fact that we don’t announce United States might contain Iran’s

power if it decided to produce a weapon, and how to deal with the possibility that fuel or weapons could be obtained by one of the terrorist groups Iran has supported, which officials said they considered to be a less likely possibility.

Gates has never mentioned the memo in public, but a spokesman reiterated the defense secretary’s support for the president and his national security advisers.

Meanwhile, a senior administration official, pressed on the administration’s ambiguous phrases about how close the United States was willing to allow Iran’s program to proceed, described recently there was a line Iran would not be permitted to cross. The official said the U.S. would ensure that Iran would not “acquire a nuclear capability,” a step Tehran could get to well before it developed a sophisticated weapon.

Ahmadinejad calls on U.S. to disarm TEHRAN — Iran’s President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad on Saturday called for the destruction of all atomic weapons, starting with those in the U.S. arsenal, in a speech at a nuclear disarmament conference attended by representatives of 60 countries.

The two-day forum, titled “Nuclear energy for all, nuclear weapons for none,” came a week after the Nuclear Security Summit in Washington, to which the Islamic republic was not invited.

Ahmadinejad sent a letter to Obama last month, the White House confirmed Saturday, although neither the United States nor Iran disclosed details about what it said.

Fleeing drug violence, lots of Mexican families pour across border

NO END IN SIGHT FOR VOLCANO ASH IN ICELAND AND BEYOND

By James C. McKinley Jr. New York Times News Service

FORT HANCOCK, Texas — The giant rusty fence of metal bars along the border here, built in recent years to keep illegal immigrants from crossing into the United States, has a new nickname among local residents: Jurassic Park Gate, a nod to the barrier in a 1993 movie that kept dangerous dinosaurs at bay in a theme park.

On the other side, a brutal war between drug gangs has forced dozens of fearful families from the Mexican town of El Porvenir to come to the border seeking political asylum, and scores of other Mexicans have used special visas known as border-crossing cards to flee into the United States. They say drug gangs fighting for control of the trade have laid waste to their town, burning down houses and killing people in the street.

Americans are taking in their Mexican relatives, and the local schools have swelled with traumatized children, many of whom have witnessed gangland violence, school officials say.

The story of Fort Hancock, 57 miles southeast of El Paso on the Rio Grande, is echoed along the Texas border with Mexico, from Brownsville to El Paso. As the violence among drug gangs continues to spiral out of control in Mexico, more Mexican citizens are seeking refuge in the U.S. Here, about 2,000 people live in ramshackle trailer homes, weather-battered recreational vehicles and well-kept brick houses.

Seeking asylum Not everyone coming from El Porvenir is seeking asylum. Many Mexicans in towns along the river have special border-crossing cards, which let them cross for up to 30 days to do business and shop near the border. But some have used the visas to relocate their families temporarily to Fort Hancock and other small towns on the Texas side.

In El Paso alone, the police estimate that at least 30,000 Mexicans have moved across the border in the past two years because of the violence in Juarez and the river towns to the southeast. So many people have left El Porvenir and nearby Guadalupe Bravos that the two resemble ghost towns, former residents say.

People without access to visas, however, have been seeking asylum, even at the risk of being detained for months. In the early days of the conflict, the asylumseekers were mostly journalists, police officers and officials who had been threatened by organized crime. But now people with ordinary jobs are showing up at the border and saying they fear for their lives.

But few Mexicans are granted asylum. Over the past three federal fiscal years, immigration judges heard 9,317 requests across the country and granted only 183.

Southern Iceland’s Eyjafjallajokull (ay-yah-FYAH’-plah-yer-kuh-duhl) volcano sends ash into the air just before sunset Friday. Thick drifts of volcanic ash have blanketed parts of rural Iceland as a vast, invisible plume of grit drifted over Europe, emptying the skies of planes.

In Iceland, torrents of water have carried away chunks of ice the size of small houses. Sections of the country’s main ring road were wiped out by the flash

floods. More floods from melting waters are expected as long as the volcano keeps erupting.

And in 1821, the same volcano managed to erupt for more than a year.

Iceland, a nation of 320,000 people, sits on a large volcanic hot spot in the Atlantic’s mid-oceanic ridge and has a history of devastating eruptions. One of the worst was the 1783 eruption of the Laki volcano, which spewed a toxic cloud over Europe,

killing tens of thousands.

“The activity has been quite vigorous overnight, causing the eruption column to grow,” Icelandic geologist Magnus Tumi Gudmundsson said Saturday. “It’s the magma mixing with the water that creates the explosivity. Unfortunately, there doesn’t seem to be an end in sight.”

That’s raising concerns about longerterm damage to European, even global, air travel and trade. For story, see Page A4.

Toyota recalls 600,000 minivans WASHINGTON — As congressional investigators dig further into potential electronic problems in runaway Toyotas, the automaker is facing other safety concerns, recalling 600,000 Sienna minivans over rusting spare tire holders.

Toyota said its latest recall covered the 1998-2010 model year Siennas with two-wheeldrive that have been sold or registered in 20 cold-climate states and the District of Columbia. Oregon was not listed.

The recall came Friday as House investigators said they would hold another hearing in May to review possible electronic problems in runaway Toyotas. The Japanese automaker has recalled more than 8 million vehicles because of faulty accelerator pedals.

Hall has been jailed since Dec. 11, two days before his brigade with the Army’s 3rd Infantry Division out of Fort Stewart, Georgia, was scheduled to leave for Iraq.

An Army major signed off Friday on a plea deal for Hall to admit guilt and be discharged instead of face trial in Baghdad, as military lawyers requested. Had he lost at trial, Hall could have faced up to 15 years in jail.

Mine disaster shines light on lobbying More than 200 former congressional staff members, federal regulators and retired lawmakers are employed by the mining industry as lobbyists, consultants or senior executives, including dozens who work for coal companies with the worst safety records in the nation, a Washington Post analysis shows.

The revolving door has also brought industry officials into government as policy aides in Congress or officials of the Mine Safety and Health Administration, which enforces safety standards.

The movement between industry and government allows both to benefit from crucial expertise, but mining safety experts say it often has led to a regulatory system tilted toward coal company interests.

Such relationships have come under increased scrutiny after the West Virginia disaster, which killed 29 miners, and Toyota’s recent safety problems. Former regulators hired by the automaker limited the scope of federal probes and at least one vehicle recall, documents show.

Justices Sandra Day O’Connor and David Souter, shown in 2005, were nominated by Republican presidents and then drifted left.

But the contemporary Supreme Court nominee’s résumé yields so much valuable information, legal scholars say, that unexpected judicial decisions are much less likely.

SUPREME COURT

Why do newer appointees offer fewer surprises?

By Adam Liptak New York Times News Service

WASHINGTON — The last two justices to leave the Supreme Court, David Souter and Sandra Day O’Connor, were nominated

by Republican presidents and then drifted left. So did Justice John Paul Stevens, who most recently announced his retirement.

Those sorts of surprises are much less likely these days.

Call it the legacy of Justice Souter, who retired last year.

When President George H.W. Bush picked him in 1990, he was called a stealth candidate; liberal groups lined up to oppose him.

Upon his retirement, Souter was lauded by the left. He had voted, for instance, to allow public universities to consider race in admissions decisions and to preserve the core of the constitutional right to abortion identified in Roe v. Wade.

Since then, the mantra for the GOP has been: “No more Souters.”

It is not unusual for Supreme Court justices to disappoint their sponsors. President Dwight Eisenhower is said to have called his 1953 appointment of Chief Justice Earl Warren “the biggest damn fool mistake I ever made.”

But 1990 probably marked a turning point in the confirmation process. Indeed, the six justices appointed in the two decades since have performed largely as expected, probably thanks to increased scrutiny of more robust paper trails and less ideological drift.

Nominees’ backgrounds these days often include work for the executive branch in Washington and substantial service on a federal appeals court.

Souter’s résumé did not include those factors. Those of the three leading candidates to replace Stevens satisfy almost all of them.

When liberal groups analyzed Souter’s record as New Hampshire’s attorney general and as a justice on the state’s Supreme Court, they concluded that he was a hard-core conservative.

“Every brief, every opinion,” Eleanor Smeal, a leader of the feminist movement, said in testimony opposing the nomination, “takes a repressive and regressive approach to constitutional protections for women and minorities.”

But the materials that Smeal and others reviewed were not particularly pertinent to the Supreme Court’s docket, which is almost solely concerned with federal law.

O’Connor, who retired in 2006, also came to the Supreme Court from service on a state appeals court and so did not have an especially relevant judicial paper trail.

Souter had served for all of three months on the federal appeals court in Boston when he was nominated; all of the justices on the current Supreme Court have much more expansive records as former federal appeals court judges. And Souter had never served in executive branch of the federal government. “Republicans from outside D.C. have tended to move toward the left,” said Jeffrey Segal, who teaches political science at the State University of New York at Stony Brook.

On the other hand, all four members of the current court’s conservative wing — Chief Justice John Roberts and justices Antonin Scalia, Clarence Thomas and Samuel Alito — worked in Republican administrations and have shown no signs of leftward drift.

It is not clear, though, that the lessons learned by Republicans have also been taken in by Democrats. “There’s a real asymmetry,” said David Strauss, a law professor at the University of Chicago.

Military recruiting views may be No. 1 target for Kagan Four months after becoming dean of Harvard Law School, Elena Kagan sent an e-mail to students and faculty lamenting that military recruiters had arrived on campus in violation of the school’s anti-discrimination policy.

Elena But under Kagan government rules, she wrote, the entire university would jeopardize its federal aid unless the law school helped the recruiters, despite the armed forces’ ban on openly gay members.

“This action causes me deep distress,” Kagan wrote that morning in October 2003. “I abhor the military’s discriminatory recruitment policy.” It is, she said, “a profound wrong — a moral injustice of the first order.”

Her stance put Kagan wholly out of sync with the Supreme Court, which later ruled unanimously that the schools were wrong.

Four years later, Kagan is a leading candidate to succeed retiring Justice John Paul Stevens. Conservatives have signaled that if President Barack Obama nominates her, her stance on this issue dangles — like perhaps no other in her career — as ripe fruit.

“For someone who has been so guarded on so many issues, she used strikingly extreme rhetoric.

‘Moral injustice of the first order’ would seem fit for something like the Holocaust,” said Ed Whelan, president of the conservative Ethics and Public Policy Center.

Kagan did not comment.

— The Washington Post

“The Democratic groups, with the exception of choice, do not have a court-focused agenda at all.

The Republican groups do have a court focus — on affirmative action, abortion, school prayer, gun rights and property rights.”

The three leading candidates for Stevens’ seat — Judge Merrick Garland, Judge Diane Wood and Solicitor General Elena Kagan — all served in the Clinton administration in Washington.

To say that real surprises are unlikely is not the same as saying justices will not change over time.

Even federal appeals court judges seldom address constitutional questions unconstrained by Supreme Court precedent.

But Strauss, in a 2007 article in the Northwestern University Law Review, said that much of the talk about surprises is built on mistaken premises. Some presidents, he said, only care about competence and so cannot be surprised by a justice’s decisions. Others care about one set of issues and may be surprised about others, but only because they had not considered them. At bottom, Strauss wrote, “presidents who have an ideological agenda almost always get what they want on the issues they care about.”

WASHINGTON — The Obama administration is pressing forward with a plan to expand U.S. relations with Syria and enlist Damascus in the Middle East peace effort, despite alarm in Washington and abroad over charges that Syria is providing potent new weapons to Hezbollah militants in Lebanon.

Obama last year outlined plans to elevate ties to Syria as part of an effort to improve U.S. standing in the Arab world and advance IsraeliPalestinian talks. High-level contacts were severed in 2005, when the Bush administration recalled its ambassador amid charges that Syria was involved in the assassination of Lebanon’s former prime minister.

Trying to rebuild U.S.-Syrian contacts, a series of Obama administration officials have traveled to Damascus over the past year. Officials also have taken other steps toward closer engagement this year, including canceling a warning to Americans about traveling to Syria.

In February, the administration nominated career diplomat Robert Ford as the new U.S. ambassador. Ford’s nomination was approved by a Senate committee last week, but Republicans have raised questions about Syria’s actions as the nomination reaches the full Senate.

The White House is hoping that Ford will win Senate approval within days, and Senate Democratic leaders said Friday they are working with Republicans on an agreement that would let senators vote on the nomination.

But lawmakers expressed renewed concern after Israeli President Shimon Peres and Defense Minister Ehud Barak last week accused the Syrians of sending Scud missiles to Hezbollah, a move that would violate a U.N. resolution ending the 2006 Israeli war against the militant group in Lebanon.

Syria denied sending the missiles, but U.S. officials

joined the Israelis in voicing concern, warning that any Syrian arms transfers, by inviting Israeli retaliation, could put Lebanon at risk.

Scud missiles became best known after they were used by Saddam Hussein against Israel during the 1991 Persian Gulf War. The Scud is considered an inaccurate missile and was first fielded in the 1950s. Yet its range of several hundred miles means that if launched from southern Lebanon, it could strike even targets in southern Israel.

‘Diplomacy is not a gift’ David Schenker, a former Pentagon advisor at the Washington Institute for Near East Peace, said that despite Israel’s alarm, the Scuds would not greatly expand Hezbollah’s capabilities. The militant group already has a missile, the Iranian built Fatah 110, with superior capabilities, he said.

The Fatah 110 can be launched more quickly and is more accurate, he said. The impact of adding the Scud, he said, “is mostly psychological.”

Administration officials argue that, whatever their misgivings about the regime of Bashar Assad,

the United States is better off if it has an ambassador in Damascus to directly provide administration views.

“Diplomacy is not a gift,” a U.S. official said, speaking on condition of anonymity because of the political sensitivity. “We don’t accept the view that it’s better to be absent, so we can feel better about not telling them off.”

With Israel-Palestinian talks near a standstill, the Obama administration has been eyeing talks with Damascus as a possible route toward its plans for a comprehensive Mideast peace deal. Officials hope that, with sufficient inducements, they also might be able to unravel Damascus’ entanglement with Iran.

Air travel crisis deepens as world fears a wider impact 17,000-plus flights canceled in worst global disruption since 9/11 attacks

By Steven Erlanger and Jack Ewing New York Times News Service

PARIS — As an increasingly large part of European airspace was shut down for the third day Saturday and the towering fountain of ash from an Icelandic volcano showed no signs of letting up, questions about the long-term impact of the eruption were being raised in a continent trying to recover from recession.

With airports closed from Ireland to Ukraine, officials expressed hope that some air travel could resume today or possibly Monday, but the workings of Iceland’s volcano were too mysterious to make rational predictions about it. Winds pushed the particulate ash farther south and east Saturday, as far as northern Italy.

More than 17,000 flights were canceled Saturday, and travelers scrambled to find accommodation or land routes home during what is already the worst disruption in international air travel since the attacks of Sept. 11, 2001, when all air travel in and out of the United States was halted for three days.

While the closing of the airways has already laid waste to the immediate plans and business of industry, the arts and world leaders, the possibility that it could drag on for days if not weeks, is raising concerns about the longerterm consequences for public health, military operations and the world economy.

Economic damage

Few flights take off The scope of the flight restrictions surpassed any seen since World War II. European aviation authorities said Saturday that commercial flights had been grounded across northern and central Europe, including Austria, Belarus, Belgium, Croatia, the Czech Republic, Denmark, Estonia, Finland, most of France and Germany, Hungary, Ireland, northern Italy, the Netherlands, Norway, Poland, Romania, Serbia, Slovakia, Slovenia, Sweden, Switzerland, Ukraine and Britain. Only 5,000 of the region’s 22,000 regularly scheduled commercial flights took off Saturday, with today’s disruptions potentially worse.

cles are smaller than 10 microns, making them more dangerous because they can penetrate more deeply into the lungs, WHO said.

In Britain, where a layer of fine dust is already covering large areas of the country, the authorities are advising those with respiratory problems to stay indoors or wear masks out of doors. But experts said most people had no reason to be alarmed. “The bottom line,” said Dr. Ronald Crystal, chief of pulmonology at New York Presbyterian/Weill Cornell Hospital, “is there’s no long-term health effect from volcanic ash.”

The disaster is estimated to be costing airlines $200 million a day, but the economic damage will roll through to farms, retail establishments and nearly any other business that depends on air “We don’t cargo shipments. understand how Travel Fresh produce will spoil, and supermar- interconnected Europe’s three kets in Europe, used we are until you largest airports — to year-round supLondon Heathrow, plies, will begin to can’t do it any Frankfurt and Parrun out. is-Charles de Gaulle more.”

Chinese leader flies to Tibetan quake zone JIEGU, China — President Hu Jintao flew to the remote, mountainous Tibetan region devastated by an earthquake as the flow of rescue supplies picked up pace earlier today.

Hu flew from Beijing after cutting short an official trip to South America to deal with the disaster that killed nearly 1,500 people in western China.

The death toll stood at 1,484 people, said Zou Ming, head of disaster relief at the Ministry of Civil Affairs.

The exiled Dalai Lama said Saturday he’d like to visit the site, though he has never returned to China since he fled Tibet in 1959 after a failed uprising against Chinese rule.

Pope mum on scandal in latest foreign trip

U.S. IMPACT Industry officials said that U.S. carriers have had to shuffle their fleets to replace planes stranded in Europe but that there have been no cancellations of U.S. domestic flights. Once the skies clear, passengers trying to rebook — from the United States in particular — are likely to face long delays. As airlines have cut costs, they have also reduced capacity over the past two years, meaning there will be few spare seats when flights resume.

Travelers pack a train station in Paris as volcanic ash from an Icelandic volcano eruption kept jets grounded — and a rail strike complicated matters — on Saturday. according to Reuters, while journalists were being offered a bus ride to Brussels.

The volcano, meanwhile, continued to defy predictions. Clive Oppenheimer, a volcanologist at the University of Cambridge, said the average span of a volcanic eruption is a month or two. In the case of Iceland’s Eyjafjallajokull volcano, he said, scientists need to know more about how much molten rock is beneath it, but

VALLETTA, Malta — Pope Benedict XVI arrived in this Catholic nation on Saturday evening in his first foreign trip since a sexual abuse crisis began engulfing the Roman Catholic Church.

Benedict’s visit — commemorating the 1,950th anniversary of the shipwreck of St. Paul on Malta — comes at the most turbulent moment in Benedict’s 5-year-old papacy, as he struggles to manage a torrent of allegations that the church hierarchy did not move swiftly to discipline priests who sexually abused minors.

Benedict made no direct comments on the scandals.

Pakistan: Bombers kill 40 at refugee camp KACHA PUKA, Pakistan — Two burqa-clad suicide bombers attacked refugees from a Pakistani offensive against the Taliban, killing 41 lined up to register for food and other relief supplies. The victims were among around 200,000 people to have left the Orakzai region along

the Afghan border since the end of last year, when the Pakistan army began offensive ground and air operations against militants based in the remote, tribally administered region.

Polish remember fallen leaders, victims WARSAW, Poland — Some 100,000 Poles filled Warsaw’s biggest public square Saturday, joining together for a memorial and funeral Mass for the 96 people killed in a plane crash a week earlier.

The crowd in Warsaw’s Pilsudski Square waved whiteand-red Polish flags with black ribbons of mourning affixed to them. A massive white stage, a large cross in the center, was flanked by oversized photos of the dead, including President Lech Kaczynski.

On Sunday, a tradition-laden funeral will be held for Kaczynski and his wife, whose plane went down in heavy fog after clipping a birch tree on approach to Smolensk, Russia.

Airports in Poland remained closed Saturday. The thickening cloud of volcanic ash over Europe caused some world leaders — including President Barack Obama and the German, French and Canadian leaders — to cancel plans to attend today’s state funeral. Still, some European leaders said they would drive to Krakow.

North Korea denies role in ship’s sinking After weeks of silence, North Korea on Saturday denied any involvement in the mysterious sinking of a South Korean naval patrol boat in disputed waters.

The North’s state-run media criticized suggestions made by officials in Seoul that a North Korean torpedo struck the 1,200-ton Cheonan on March 26 as it cruised the tense sea border between North and South.

FINANCIAL REGULATION

GOP takes page from health debate A N A LY S I S

By Patrick O’Connor Bloomberg News

WASHINGTON — Senate Republicans are trying to reprise the strategy they used to oppose the health care overhaul as they work to block Democrats from rewriting the rules of Wall Street. They face more political risk this time.

Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell is pressing to keep fellow Republicans united in opposition to a proposal to regulate financial firms. His pitch: that the Democratic plan may lead to another U.S. government bailout of big banks.

Polls show Americans oppose the health care law President Barack Obama signed after the legislation was passed entirely by Democrats in Congress. Democrats are betting that reining in financial firms will give them an issue that will appeal to voters in this year’s midterm elections.

“There’s a big difference between this and health care,” said Stuart Rothenberg, publisher of the nonpartisan Rothenberg Political Report, which tracks congressional races.

‘Bailout bill’ Democrats are pushing to revamp financial regulations after the subprime mortgage meltdown and a credit crisis sent the economy into the deepest slump since the Great Depression. Legislation sponsored by Senate Banking Committee Chairman Christopher Dodd would create a consumer-protection bureau, set up a mechanism to enable the government to dismantle failed firms and ban proprietary trading at banks.

Republicans dubbed Dodd’s legislation “the bailout bill” because it

Goldman Continued from A1 The SEC’s action could also hit Wall Street where it really hurts: the wallet. It could prompt dozens of investor claims against Goldman and other Wall Street titans that devised and sold toxic mortgage investments.

On Saturday, several European banks that lost money in the deal said they were reviewing the matter. They could try to recoup the money from Goldman.

And it raises new questions about Goldman, the bank at the center of more concentric circles of economic and political power than any other on Wall Street.

Goldman — whose controversial success has leapt from the financial pages to the cover of Rolling Stone — has fiercely defended its actions before, during and after the financial crisis. On Friday, it called the SEC’s accusations “unfounded.”

Conflicting role Wall Street played a complex and, at times, seemingly conflicted role in the mortgage meltdown.

Goldman and others worked behind the scenes, bundling home loans into investments for sale to investors the world over. Even now, more than 18 months after Washington rescued the teetering financial system, no one knows for sure how much money was lost on those investments.

The public outcry against the bank bailouts was driven in part by suspicions that a heads-wewin, tails-you-lose ethos pervades the financial industry. To many, that Goldman and others are once again minting money — and paying big bonuses to their employees — is evidence that Wall Street got a sweet deal at taxpayers’ expense. The accusations against Goldman may only further those suspicions.

“The SEC suit against Goldman, if proven true, will confirm to people their suspicions about the total selfishness of these financial institutions,” said Steve Fraser, a Wall Street historian and author of “Wall Street: America’s Dream Palace.” “There’s nothing more damaging than that. This is way beyond recklessness. This is way beyond incompetence. This is cynical, selfish exploiting.”

On Friday, Goldman’s stock took a beating, falling 13 percent and wiping out more than $10 billion of the company’s market value. It was a possible sign that investors fear that the SEC complaint will damage Goldman’s reputation and its ability to keep its hands on so many sides of a trade — a practice that is immensely profitable for the firm.

It is unclear whether the SEC can prevail against Goldman.

Europe tackles its own reform efforts MADRID — European Union finance ministers are working on ways for the financial sector to cope with banks that run into trouble. One of the options they are looking at is having banks pay a fee toward a “resolution fund” that would help unwind banks as a last resort. EU Financial Services Commissioner Michel Barnier asked EU nations to adopt the “polluter pays” principle, telling them that banks should jointly pay the price of rescuing one of them by contributing to a fund.

The speed of some European regulation has already alarmed the United States. Treasury Secretary Timothy Geithner has complained that the 27-member EU was moving too fast to regulate hedge funds, warning that extra requirements for foreignbased funds could be a protectionist barrier that went against G-20 commitments for all regions to coordinate reforms.

— The Associated Press

grants the federal government authority to unravel institutions that threaten the financial system.

“The Dodd bill institutionalizes ‘Too Big to Fail’ and leaves taxpayers on a potentially unlimited string of bailouts,” Sen. John Cornyn, R-Texas, said.

The Senate bill would require financial institutions to raise $50 billion to dissolve failed firms. Federal regulators would use the money to unwind the companies without using taxpayer dollars. Legislation passed by the House last year includes a $150 billion fund.

McConnell, of Kentucky, says it amounts to a “permanent bailout fund” that would allow the government to pump unlimited taxpayer money into failing companies.

Obama has urged McConnell and other Republican and Democratic lawmakers to put aside partisan differences and finish the overhaul, though on Saturday, Obama accused McConnell of waging a “cynical and deceptive” attack against the Democrats’ efforts. The president, using McConnell’s title but not his name, suggested that the Senate Republican leader is being duplicitous,

The bank has long maintained that it puts its clients first and, in a letter in its latest annual report, reiterated that position. Goldman said that it never “bet against our clients” in its trades but rather was trying to hedge against other trading positions.

The transaction cited in the SEC complaint cost investors just more than $1 billion, relatively small by Wall Street standards.

Still, Wall Street analysts said Goldman and other banks, having navigated the financial crisis, might now face a new kind of risk: angry investors. Most major Wall Street banks also created collateralized debt obligations, which are at the heart of the Goldman case.

CDOs, which are essentially bundles of securities backed by mortgages or other debt securities, turned out to be among the most toxic investments ever devised.

“Any investor who bought these CDOs and lost a significant amount of money is probably looking at their investment and wanting to know: what were the details behind the sale?” said William Tanona, an analyst at Collins Stewart. “Will they contact the SEC and say, ‘Here’s the transaction we participated in, and we’d love to know who is on the other side of it?’”

The biggest victim among investors, the SEC complaint said, was the Royal Bank of Scotland, which inherited a loss of $841 million after it took over the Dutch bank ABN Amro. According to a person briefed on the matter, Royal Bank, now controlled by the British government, is studying the documents but is not yet ready to decide whether to take action to recoup money from Goldman.

The German bank IKB Deutsche Industriebank, as well as the German government, which in 2007 put up billions to prevent IKB from collapsing, still seemed to be sorting out who might have legal standing to pursue a possible claim.

Public battle ahead Goldman faces a dilemma in its response. Wall Street firms tend to settle cases like this one, but Goldman’s statement Friday indicated it intended to dig in its heels and fight, perhaps in part to discourage suits by investors.

But that strategy could set it up for a drawn-out, messy and public battle.

The SEC complaint named just one Goldman employee: Fabrice Tourre, a vice president in the bank’s mortgage operation who worked on the questionable transaction.

But securities lawyers say Tourre appears to be a small fish.

Federal investigators may try to gain his cooperation and extend their investigation to other Goldman employees. On Friday,

and said McConnell had met recently with top Wall Street executives to talk about “how to block progress” on the bill.

There is broad agreement between the parties that taxpayers should never again have to bail out financial institutions. But there is deep disagreement about the measure being drafted in the Senate.

Dodd, a Connecticut Democrat, said he’s not going to wait to strike a deal with Republicans. He criticized assertions that it isn’t a bipartisan bill, saying much of what’s in the legislation came from negotiations with Republicans. “We’re ready to go forward,” Dodd told reporters after meeting with Sen. Richard Shelby of Alabama, the ranking Republican on the Banking Committee. “If I have to go it alone, I’ll go it alone.”

Split public opinion The polling splits both ways for Republicans.

Almost seven of 10 respondents to a Bloomberg National Poll last month said they would like to see existing regulators oversee mortgage lending and credit cards

Tourre’s lawyer did not provide a comment on the complaint.

A big question is how far up this might go. The SEC said the deal in its complaint had been approved by a committee at Goldman called the Mortgage Capital Committee.

“It’s typical that they’d start with someone lower down on the chain and try to exert pressure on that person,” said Bradley Simon of Simon & Partners, a white-collar defense lawyer in New York.

“Is it really conceivable that no one else was involved in this?”

As the housing market began to fracture in 2007, senior Goldman executives began overseeing the mortgage department closely, according to four former Goldman Sachs employees, who spoke on the condition of anonymity because of the sensitivity of the matter.

Senior executives routinely visited the unit. Among them were David Viniar, the chief financial officer; Gary Cohn, the president; and Pablo Salame, a sales and trading executive, these former employees said. Even Goldman’s chief executive, Lloyd Blankfein, got involved.

A Goldman spokesman said Saturday the top executives were not involved in the approval process for Abacus, the deal cited by the SEC, and that their involvement with the mortgage department in 2007 was related to their desire to counterbalance the positive bets on housing the banks had already made.

Blankfein has already been questioned by a congressional commission about the toxic vehicles Goldman devised and sold, even as the bank realized the housing market was in trouble.

Recent public statements made by Blankfein seem to conflict with the account laid out by the SEC.

— the position held by most Republicans. Still, most said they hold an unfavorable view of both Wall Street and banks.

“Republicans are in a bit of a bind because they don’t want to be tied to Wall Street,” said J. Ann Selzer, president of Des Moines, Iowa-based Selzer & Co., which conducted the Bloomberg poll.

Republicans say Democrats are overreaching after pushing the health legislation through with no Republican support. “They feel emboldened by being able to jam through the health care bill, and so they feel like they’re going to jam this through,” Cornyn said.

While the GOP may have a tougher time winning voters over to its position on regulations, they may be making inroads in the financial industry. Employees of securities and investment firms gave Democrats 62 percent of their donations last year, the party’s largest share in a non-election year in the 20 years that data has been compiled by the Center for Responsive Politics. Some investors are favoring Republicans, though, according to Federal Election Commission records. From Dec. 12, after the House passed its version of the financial legislation, to Jan. 31, investors gave $630,400 in amounts of $5,000 or more to the Senate Republicans’ fundraising arm, compared with $412,600 to the Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee.

Even so, some Republicans are holding out hope for a compromise. Sen. Bob Corker, R-Tenn., said the problems in the Dodd bill were fixable. The argument that the legislation perpetuates big-bank bailouts is “a little overheated,” he said. “You can fix that in five minutes.”

Obama pushes to get health care law rolling New York Times News Service Mindful that the new health care law’s ability to slow rising medical costs will depend to a great extent on how it is put in effect, President Barack Obama is assembling a high-level team to carry out key elements of the overhaul and is considering moving faster than the law requires.

The president has tapped Pete Rouse, one of his closest White House advisers, to oversee what one insider described as an “elaborate implementation plan.” And he pressed NancyAnn DeParle, who directed the legislative effort and has long experience in the health sector, to shelve her plans to leave; she will instead manage construc-

Kathleen Sebelius, the secretary of health and human services, has assumed a higher-profile role. Sebelius can expand successful ideas nationwide without Congress’ permission.

Obama, whose legacy will be shaped less by the law’s passage than by how well it works, has begun marshaling what is “essentially the biggest transformation of government since World War II,” said David Cutler, a Harvard economist who was Obama’s chief campaign adviser on health policy.

Part of the drop in birth rates may be due to the “baby bust,” or a decadelong period between the mid-’60s and the mid-’70s when people had fewer children than the decade before, considered the baby boom.

That means a smaller pool of people — children of baby busters — are now of child-bearing age.

Births

declined between 2 and 3 percent.

But those numbers may be much higher in Central Oregon because of the downturn in the economy, Rynerson said.

“If you look at the number of births in Central Oregon counties in the mid-2000s, it was just soaring unbelievably,” Rynerson said.

“That might be partly due to the kind of people that were moving there. Since there were lots of jobs in construction, that would bring lots of young families.”

Young families with higher incomes are more likely to have children, while those encountering rocky financial times might hold off, he said.

“So that may be why your drop is greater than the statewide decline,” Rynerson said.

Continued from A1

Birth control When asked why the number of births is dropping at St. Charles Bend, Kristina Krabill gives a three-letter response: “IUD.” Krabill, the nurse manager of the hospital’s Family Birthing Center, said many of the physicians she works with are implanting intrauterine devices at an increasing rate.

“People are getting IUDs; it’s been wildly popular,” Krabill said.

“The ob-gyns love it because it is very safe, and their patients don’t forget to take the pill or forget the patch or the ring.”

National studies have shown that 2 percent of all women in the United States who use birth control have IUDs. The plastic devices, marketed under the brand name Mirena, are inserted into the uterus. They release a small amount of the hormone estrogen into the system and prevent pregnancy for up to five years. The device is 99 percent effective at preventing pregnancy, according to the Mirena Web site.

Implanon is another long-term birth control device that may be affecting birth rates in Central Oregon, said family practitioner Dr. Gary Plant of Madras.

Plant is a member of Mountain View Hospital’s Obstetrics Committee, which includes doctors from his practice, the Madras Medical Group, as well as from the Warm Springs Health and Wellness Center.

Representatives from Warm Springs could not be reached for comment, but Plant said physicians on the reservation started offering Implanon to its patients at no cost in the past few years.

The device is inserted under the skin of the arm and also releases a hormone that prevents pregnancy.

While Plant’s practice has seen a 10 to 12 percent drop in the number of obstetrics patients in the last year, he said the Warm Springs clinic has experienced a 25 percent decline, according to numbers provided to the Mountain View Obstetrics Committee.

“So they have beautifully dem-

Last year, for his first Supreme Court nominee, Obama chose Sonia Sotomayor, a Yale Law grad with an up-by-the-bootstraps life story.

What will guide his decision this time?

Insiders think that Solicitor General Elena Kagan, a Harvard Law alum and former dean there, is Obama’s most likely pick. She’s well respected, with top credentials. She survived the confirmation process to her current post.

She’s not been a judge, so she has no rulings to attack. Her stance supporting indefinite detention of terrorism suspects might help make her more palatable to Republican senators.

Most other names on Obama’s list also studied law at Harvard or Yale, but not all: • Homeland Security Secretary Janet Napolitano, a former Arizona governor and attorney general, earned her J.D. from the University of Virginia (No. 10).

• Diane Wood, a federal appeals judge for the 7th Circuit, earned her law degree from the University of Texas at Austin (No. 15).

• Leah Ward Sears, former chief justice of the Georgia Supreme Court, earned her law degree from Emory (No. 22) and a Master of Laws from the University of Virginia.

The White House declined to comment on this topic.

Sheldon Goldman, a political science professor at the University of Massachusetts at Amherst and an expert on the federal judiciary, doesn’t consider the Yale-Harvard predominance on the high court a problem.

“One would expect the top legal minds of the country to have gone to the very best law schools,” Goldman said. He called the concentration of justices from Harvard and Yale, as opposed to other top law schools, “somewhat of a coincidence.”

“I can’t buy that a Harvard or a Yale is so parochial that the people

Demographics Charles Rynerson has been studying people for more than a quarter of a century.

Rynerson is a demographic analyst at the Portland State Population Research Center who studies myriad areas, including school enrollment, labor force and housing growth, and population trends, including birth rates.

Rynerson said three main factors contribute to changes in birth rates: the number of adults of child-bearing age, how old those adults are and their “fertility rate,” or how many children they actually have. The fertility rate, in turn, is affected by factors like education level and the state of the economy, he said.

Part of the drop in birth rates may be due to the “baby bust,” or a decadelong period between the mid-’60s and the mid-’70s when people had fewer children than the decade before, considered the baby boom.

coming out have a narrow vision,” he said. “If that were the case, we wouldn’t have such a sharply polarized Supreme Court.”

However, Jonathan Turley, a liberal law scholar at George Washington University (No. 20), disagrees. Turley said the nearexclusive reliance on Harvard and Yale law grads is “perfectly absurd. ... You’re voiding a wide array of interesting and potentially brilliant nominees. It’s like insisting you’re only going to read books by two authors.”

Turley calls the culture of the current court “remarkably inbred.

You’re taking justices from the same small educational pools, and those justices are reinforcing that same limited population pool in the selection of their clerks. There are certain dangers in small population pools. They tend to replicate the same types of thinking.

“More importantly, the United States has the deepest pool of lawyers and judges in the world. We have a remarkable number of extraordinary law schools,” he said.

Justice Antonin Scalia infamously told American University law students last year that one of his best clerks was Jeff Sutton, now a federal appellate judge, but that Scalia never would have chosen Sutton because he’d studied law at Ohio State (No. 34). Scalia inherited Sutton when another justice retired.

Alan Michaels, the dean of Ohio State’s Moritz College of Law, earned a bachelor’s degree from Harvard and a law degree from Columbia. He suggested that expanding the selection pools for clerks to the high court could make a difference over time in the institutional diversity of lawyers who later find a path to the Supreme Court.

However, Michaels said he doesn’t think that institutional diversity should trump other considerations about the mix on the high court. He said gender, race, ethnicity and diversity of practice are key.

However, “being at Ohio State for 15 years, the best students we have are the equals of the top students I encountered at Harvard and Columbia,” he said. “It’s easy to use the institutions as a proxy,” he said of the top-rated Ivy League schools. “It’s safe.”

Looking beyond those schools may require more effort, he said, but it’s worthwhile.

That means a smaller pool of people — children of baby busters — are now of child-bearing age, Rynerson said. And more of them are making life choices that aren’t necessarily kid-friendly.

“It has a lot to do with education levels,” Rynerson said. “People don’t get married as young as they used to because they get more education than they used to.”

He noted that the CDC report issued this month shows only one group of women — aged 40 to 44 — experienced an increased birth rate of 4 percent.

“And if you don’t start (a family) as early, on average, you are likely to have fewer children,” Rynerson said.

For people younger than 30, the CDC report showed birth rates

Travis and Carly Mersereau didn’t worry about the economy when they decided to have Jaxon.

“The economy did not factor into our decision to get pregnant, however, it did affect our decision as to when to get engaged,” Carly wrote in an e-mail shortly after Jaxon’s birth. “We waited until Travis was secure with his new job in Bend, which happened in April 2008. We got engaged April 19, 2008.”

But they have ratcheted up their fiscal discipline since Carly became pregnant. She decided to leave her job to take care of Jaxon full time, so the loss of an income, coupled with Jaxon’s birth, has meant some changes in their lives.

“It is an economic strain, but we have made certain cuts to our budget to make it work,” Carly wrote.

“We eat out maybe four times a month now, as opposed to 10 before we were pregnant. We have cut most non-essential subscriptions, HBO and entertainment.

We still have Netflix but we don’t go to the Old Mill to watch movies as much.”

The couple plans to have more children in the future — “at least two, but no more than three,” Carly wrote.

For the next few years, though, they plan to “have some quality time with just Jaxon.”

TEA PARTY POLL

‘The system is broken’ New York Times News Service The latest New York Times/ CBS News poll looks at the 18 percent of Americans who consider themselves supporters of the tea party movement.

On the whole, the supporters dislike President Barack Obama and Congress, and say that the government in Washington cannot be trusted. Most say that the country is seriously off course, and that all members of Congress should be replaced, yet most say the country does not need a third party.

The nationwide telephone poll, of 1,580 adults, was conducted April 5 through 12. For the purposes of analysis, tea party supporters were oversampled, for a total of 881, and then weighted to their proper proportion in the poll.

The following quotes were obtained in interviews with respondents after the poll was completed.

• Richard Gilbert, 72, retired Air Force officer and teacher, Aiken, S.C., independent: “Our system is bad. Every congressman and -woman should step down, and we should start over. I don’t have respect for any congressperson, Republican or Democrat.

The system is broken. I think Obama has potential, but we don’t want to be like Europe.”

• Richard Harris, 61, truck driver, St. Petersburg, Fla., independent: “I’m an extreme conservative.

Government should do the military and the roads, and just about nothing else. They foul everything up if they do. The private sector always does things better.”

BRAWLS ENSUE AS WHITE SUPREMACIST RALLY DRAWS COUNTER-PROTEST A white supremacist group rallied against illegal immigration on Saturday in downtown Los Angeles as hundreds of counter-protesters gathered to shout them down in a tense standoff that included arrests, thrown rocks and police in riot gear.

Police officers stood between the white supremacists and counter-demonstrators on the south lawn of Los Angeles’ City Hall, where about 50 members of the Detroit-based National Socialist Movement waved American flags and swastika banners for about an hour.

Five people, all of them counter-protesters, were arrested.

The neo-Nazi group had obtained a permit for its demonstration earlier in the week. But much of the white supremacists’ words were drowned out by such chants as “Hey hey, ho ho, Nazi scum have got to go” from the larger crowd of about 500 counter-protesters.

Voters’ immigration concerns spin British campaign

Bonds Continued from A1 Those include high underwriting fees, investors profiting from states selling their bonds too cheaply, and the potential that the program could encourage debtridden states to borrow even more for projects they can’t afford.

Many of those problems are real, according to several financial industry experts and a Treasury analysis released earlier this month, but they’re symptoms of states that didn’t understand how to deal with the new bonds at first, not a fundamental problem with the program.

“The reality is, in my opinion, that the problems we’ve seen so far are problems of implementation almost to a one,” said Chris Mier, managing director and head of the analytical services division at Loop Capital Markets, a financial services firm in Chicago.

Essentially, states that issued the bonds soon after the program was created last spring overpaid to borrow under the program because they didn’t understand the market, and investors were wary of the new bonds, Mier said.

One result: reports that investors who bought early Build America Bonds issues then resold, or flipped, the bonds for a quick profit. Bloomberg News reported Thursday that the New Jersey pension fund earned $2.6 million since last spring by flipping the bonds, in one case earning money at the expense of the New Jersey Turnpike Authority.

The top Republican on the Senate Finance Committee, Chuck Grassley of Iowa, has been sharply critical of the underwriting fees paid by states to the Wall Street firms and other banks that underwrite the bonds. That fee goes to firms for structuring and marketing bond sales. In response to a query by Grassley, Goldman Sachs revealed last month it earned $54 million in underwriting fees on $34 billion of Build America Bond sales.

An April 2 Treasury study found that fees started much higher than for traditional municipal bonds — more than 30 percent higher in July — but have gradually fallen to nearly equal traditional bond fees.

In the future, factors “such as improved certainty in the BABs market and increased investor familiarity, could continue to lower underwriting fees in the coming months,” the Treasury report said.

Grassley couldn’t be reached for comment this week. His spokeswoman, Jill Gerber, said he still has concerns about the underwriting fees, which were about a quarter of a percent higher for Build America Bonds than for tax-exempt bonds, according to the Treasury Department.

Local bond projects The state of Oregon announced Monday that it would sell nearly $540 million of Build America Bonds to fund a slate of transportation projects, including the widening of U.S. Highway 97 south of Bend.

The state Treasurer’s Office estimated using the bonds saved the state $56 million in financing costs compared with tax-exempt bonds. State Treasurer spokesman James Sinks said underwriting fees on the bonds were about $6 per $1,000, which is comparable to fees for tax-exempt bonds

and similar to rates nationally, according to the U.S. Treasury Department.

In February, Bend issued almost $3.3 million in Recovery Zone Build America Bonds, to fund curb ramps and other accessibility improvements. Those bonds pay an even higher subsidy to local governments: 45 percent of interest costs.

At the time, the city announced the bonds would save $516,000 over the 15-year life of the bonds.

But that number was based on the amount of the interest subsidy, not borrowing costs compared with traditional tax-exempt bonds, said city Finance Director Sonia Andrews. She said the city did save money using Build America Bonds, but closer to 0.5 percent of interest costs, not 45 percent.

President Barack Obama’s administration has proposed extending the program, with a lower interest subsidy of 28 percent to state and local governments. The House recently passed a bill that scales the subsidy back to 30 percent of interest costs. Neither proposal has moved forward in the Senate.

“I don’t know many instances where an experimental program is so successful that a White House proposes literally after a matter of months making it permanent,” Wyden said.

LONDON — Few people in the working-class neighborhood of Barking seem willing to proclaim unalloyed enthusiasm for the ultra-right-wing British Nationalist Party. But get past “hello” in any conversation and their feelings come spilling out.

“I’m not a racist, but they’re letting so many of them in,” com-

plained Bill Greed, 66, speaking of foreigners. “They come and sign on for benefits. A lot of the children in schools don’t even speak English.”

The BNP? “I agree with what they’re saying, but not with how they go about it,” Greed said.

As they prepare for the national election May 6, Britons everywhere identify immigration as one of their biggest concerns.

But in few places is the issue so urgent, or the electoral choices so stark, as in the borough of Barking and Dagenham, on the eastern edge of London. With little support for the Tory or Liberal Democratic parties here, the race is between the unpopular ruling Labour Party and an emboldened BNP capitalizing on its rival’s weaknesses.

Once Barking and Dagenham

were white, blue-collar bastions.

Now 35 percent of the residents are from ethnic minorities, up from 5 percent 10 years ago. Unemployment stands at 8 percent.

The BNP says it stands for many things, but chief among them is an implacable belief that Britain belongs to indigenous white Britons.

Until a judge struck down the provision last month, the party had a whites-only membership policy.

DA

— Cherie Travis, Chicago Animal Care and Control

Continued from A1 Dugan, 58, went to high school in Klamath Falls, graduated from the University of Oregon and attended law school at Lewis & Clark College. He worked as a deputy district attorney in Baker County for about two years before taking a similar position in Deschutes County in 1978.

Before he was elected district attorney, Dugan worked in a private firm for about four years in the mid-1980s.

Flaherty, 53, grew up in the Portland area, and received his undergraduate and law degrees at the University of Oregon. He worked as a judicial clerk in Clackamas County and as a prosecutor in Lincoln County before Dugan hired him to work at the Deschutes County District Attorney’s Office in 1992.

In 1995, Dugan promoted Flaherty to chief deputy district attorney. He left the office in 2001 to join his wife, attorney Valerie Wright, in a private law firm.

On the campaign trail, Flaherty said he’s been telling voters he has a clear understanding of what it takes to be a good district attorney.

He said one of his top concerns with Dugan’s work is his advocacy for political issues and candidates. He said he’s been upset to see Dugan on the campaign trail for his wife, state Rep. Judy Stiegler, DBend, and speaking out publicly in support of Measures 66 and 67, the tax measures approved by voters in January.

“It’s a nonpartisan office, and that seems to be lost on the district attorney and on others that don’t appreciate the fact that it’s nonpartisan,” Flaherty said. “The DA represents all of us. The DA’s function is to seek justice, not to go out and campaign for tax measures like 66 and 67.”

But Dugan said political advocacy is one of the key roles of the district attorney — and added that he plans to continue to support his wife in her political endeavors.

“The DA is elected,” he said.

“We are in a position where we have to take on critical issues and help the community understand public safety issues.”

Dugan said he believes the district attorney should also be an active campaigner for local initiatives, which he said he has done in the past. He said he pushed hard to start the KIDS Center, which provides evaluations and treatment for victims

Wayward cat gets free 1,300-mile flight home from Chicago The Associated Press CHICAGO — No one knows how a tabby cat named Charles traveled the 1,300 miles from his New Mexico home to Chicago, but he’s set for a complimentary flight home on American Airlines in a carrier donated by an Albuquerque business.

Charles disappeared about eight months ago while his owner was out of town and a friend was caring for him.

“Oh, I was crushed, and I found out while I was away volunteering with Habitat for Humanity, and I was so upset because I was in New Orleans so there was nothing I could do,” said Robin Alex, of Albuquerque.

Then earlier this week, Alex received a call telling her Chicago Animal Care and Control had picked up her wandering cat as a stray. Staffers reached out to Alex after finding that Charles had a tracking microchip embedded between his shoulder blades, said the agency’s executive director, Cherie Travis.

Charles the cat, top, traveled 1,300 miles from his home in New Mexico to Chicago, where he was picked up as a stray.

The Associated Press

But Alex said she could not afford the round-trip ticket to Chicago to bring Charles home, so she was afraid he might be euthanized.

Enter fellow Albuquerque resident Lucien Sims. Sims said he has a tabby cat who strongly resembles Charles, and was moved when his mother sent him an online story about Alex and her pet.

Most importantly, Sims was on his way to Chicago on Thursday for a wedding, so he said he would go to the shelter, pick up Charles and bring him back to New Mexico.

Sims has made all the arrangements for Charles’ return, including getting a company to donate a cat carrier and American Airlines to waive the cat’s travel fee.

Travis said Charles is definitely ready for his next adventure.

“He’s in good condition,” she said. “He needs a good brushing.

He’s got a little bit of a cold — a little bit of an upper respiratory infection — but otherwise he’s in great condition.”

Deschutes County district attorney PATRICK FLAHERTY

MIKE DUGAN

Age: 58 Residence: Bend Family: Married, two children, one stepdaughter, four grandchildren Employment: Deschutes County district attorney of child abuse.

He’s also proud of other programs that have started or grown during his time as district attorney, including the Safe Schools Alliance and specialty courts that offer mental health, domestic violence and drug treatment to defendants who meet certain criteria.

As district attorney, Dugan takes on at least a couple of cases each year. An avid hunter, he often opts to handle wildlife-related cases and is also on a rotation with some of his deputies who handle homicides. “(The DA’s involvement) is important in terms of those cases, because I think once everybody understands who the prosecutor in the office is on a particular kind of case, the defense attorneys understand, the defendant understands, we’re not just shotgunning,” Dugan said.

Flaherty said he thinks the district attorney should be in the courtroom more than Dugan, both to try cases and to observe and provide support for the 18 attorneys on his staff.

He said a recent investigation by the Oregon Department of Justice is evidence that there are problems in the office.

“I think there’s some very fine prosecutors in the office, and I feel badly for them that they’re in a toxic environment. That’s the way I would describe it,” Flaherty said.

Dugan confirmed that he requested an investigation in 2009, but said he would not discuss specifics because it was personnelrelated. He said one attorney left the office because she was upset with a supervisor in the office, but Dugan said the measure has been resolved.

“That’s not how I ran the office, not how we prosecute cases, not how the teams are made here,” he said. “It’s water under the bridge.

It happened on my watch, there’s no question about that, but we’ve addressed the issue.”

Dugan said he believes his staff respects and enjoys working with him. He said that kind of a working relationship could be a problem for Flaherty, who didn’t always get along with other attorneys and law enforcement officers when he was a prosecutor.

In 2000, the county paid for an outside agency to conduct an audit of the district attorney’s office.

Dugan said the evaluation turned up several negative comments about Flaherty, including that he sometimes assigned cases in a “retaliatory manner” — in other words, would give less desirable cases to people with whom he’d had disagreements or didn’t like.

“He was a good trial lawyer,” Dugan said. “But being a member of the staff is more than just being a good trial lawyer. You also have to get along with people. He was abrasive to the police agencies.

Most of the police agencies didn’t

give him very high marks.”

Flaherty said he believes the audit was an attempt to dig up material that would get him removed from the office because of disagreements with Dugan over endorsements in a race for Deschutes County sheriff. He said he butted heads with some attorneys and police officers but was generally well-liked.

“Were there people in the office in that review that say, ‘Oh, I don’t like him, he’s this, he’s that’? Sure, undoubtedly,” Flaherty said. “Am I capable of, did I provide leadership for attorneys in the office?

Yes.” Both candidates said they want to look for ways to make the office operate more efficiently, and to improve relationships with people and agencies around the community.

Flaherty said he believes it’s important to take a hard look at what kind of charges the district attorney’s office files. In many cases, he said, felony charges aren’t always necessary, and can often result in cases taking longer and costing more money for attorneys and the court system at large.

“When you overcharge cases, that creates an inefficiency,” he said. “It costs a lot of money at a number of different levels.”

In addition, Flaherty said he’d look at scaling back the number of prosecutors assigned to cases and would give his attorneys more flexibility to make decisions on cases without having to wait for the approval of their supervisors or the district attorney.

But Dugan said he believes people are satisfied with his track record, and drastic changes aren’t needed.

“I think the bottom line is I’ve been working for the community for 23 years,” he said. “I protect the community as best I can. I believe I have an office that’s not broken. It doesn’t need to be fixed.

I’m always open to new ideas, but it’s not broken.”

WASHINGTON — Back in town after two weeks on vacation, lawmakers in both houses of Congress resolved their differences over another extension of unemployment benefits and short-term health care subsidies. Off the U.S. Senate floor, meanwhile, key lawmakers continued to hash out a way to advance a bill to overhaul regulation of the financial industry.

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

U.S. Senate • EXTENDING UNEMPLOYMENT BENEFITS Passed 59-38 on Thursday.

The $18 billion bill extends unemployment benefits through June 2 and provides money retroactively to people whose benefits expired two weeks ago.

The bill also temporarily extends subsidies for unemployed people on short-term COBRA health insurance benefits and delays a 21 percent cut in Medicare payments to doctors.

President Obama signed the measure on Thursday.

Sen. Jeff Merkley, D ........Yes Sen. Ron Wyden, D .........Yes

• OPPOSING THE CONCEPT OF A VALUE-ADDED TAX Passed 85-13 on Thursday.

The measure, which was voted on as an amendment to the unemployment extension bill, attacks the idea of the tax as “a massive tax increase that will cripple families on fixed income and only further push back America’s economic recovery.” The resolution, sponsored by Sen. John McCain, R-Ariz., received a vote as part of an agreement to allow a vote on the unemployment extension measure. A yes vote is opposing a value-added tax.

Sen. Jeff Merkley, D ........Yes Sen. Ron Wyden, D .........Yes

U.S. House • EXTENDING UNEMPLOYMENT BENEFITS Passed 289-112 on Thursday.

The $18 billion bill extends unemployment benefits through June 2 and provides money retroactively to people whose benefits expired two weeks ago.

The bill also temporarily extends subsidies for unemployed people on short-term COBRA health insurance benefits and delays a 21 percent cut in Medicare payments to doctors.

Rep. Greg Walden, R .......Yes Rep. Earl Blumenauer, D..Yes Rep. Peter DeFazio, D ......Yes Rep. Kurt Schrader, D ......Yes Rep. David Wu, D ............Yes

The secret to becoming a professional street-chalk artist is mostly in showing up, according to Ann DiSalvo.

The Ashland artist said she got her start at a few small festivals in Grants Pass, and it snowballed. One invitation led to another, and before long, people were offering to pay her to draw on streets and sidewalks.

“I just keep saying yes when people ask me,” she said.

Chalk art is only one part of the Bend Spring Festival: three days of food, music and more in the small commercial district at NorthWest Crossing. Artists spent much of the day Saturday drawing murals in the middle of NorthWest Crossing Drive, competing for a $750 grand prize that will be announced today.

Kierstynn Snyder, 11, said she was more impressed by DiSalvo’s work than any of the other chalk art.

“I think her artwork is really cool. It doesn’t smear into the pavement. It just stands out,” said Kierstynn. “It’s cool.”

Oregon rancher John O’Keeffe knows the damage juniper trees can do.

“In the 40 years I’ve been ranching, I’ve seen lots of basically bare hillsides turn into juniper forests,” he said.

And when the junipers take over, they crowd out grasses and sagebrush — making the land unusable for both livestock and wildlife.

The goal is to improve habitat for sage grouse. Last month, the Fish and Wildlife Service determined that although the chickenlike birds meet the requirements for listing under the Endangered Species Act, there are other species that take priority for now.

The agreement, which could bring about $2 million to Oregon, is “one aspect of what we’re trying to do for the sage grouse, in light of the fact that it is now a candidate species,” said Chris Tollefson, a spokesman for the Fish and Wildlife Service. “This is really an unprecedented commitment on the part of NRCS to really work on behalf of sage grouse conservation.”

Landowners can sign up to participate in the sage grouse initiative through Friday by contacting their local Department of Agriculture service center.

La Pine man hurt in dirt bike crash

Motorcyclist injured southeast of Bend

A La Pine man was injured Saturday afternoon when he crashed his off-road motorcycle at the Rosland OHV play area.

Darrell Goddard, 27, went off a jump on his motorcycle and crashed while trying to avoid an ATV near his landing area at around 3 p.m. He was wearing a helmet and shin guards, and was conscious and breathing when Deschutes County sheriff’s deputies arrived.

La Pine Rural Fire Protection District medics transported Goddard to the fire station, where he was picked up by helicopter and taken to St. Charles Bend.

A Washington man was hospitalized Saturday afternoon following a motorcycle crash at the East Fort Rock OHV trail system.

Jeff Elmendorf, 22, from Enumclaw, Wash., struck an unidentified object in the trail and was thrown from his motorcycle at around 1:15 p.m.

Bend Fire Department medics responded to the crash about 25 miles southeast of Bend, and treated Elmendorf for nonlifethreatening injuries.

Elmendorf was evacuated from the trail system on a Forest Service ATV and taken to St. Charles Bend.

Portland police union chief weighs options PORTLAND — The president of the Portland police union says he is weighing his options after two road-rage incidents and mounting criticism, including concerns by the police commissioner and the union board.

The executive board of the Portland Police Association held an emergency meeting Friday to discuss the future of Sgt. Scott Westerman, who is under internal investigation for the road-rage incidents just two days apart.

Some Portland officers are pushing for a recall. Others want him to resign or take a leave of absence.

Portland Police Commissioner Dan Saltzman, who has recommended that Westerman under-

N R

go anger management counseling, said Friday he thought the union president’s effectiveness “has been diminished.�

The 43-year-old Westerman has apologized for the incidents.

Man gets 6 years in rape of teen girl ASTORIA — A Seaside man has been sentenced to more than six years in prison after being convicted of raping a 13-year-old girl when she was intoxicated.

Prosecutors said 30-year-old Ryan Sonny Stricklan found the victim wandering in Seaside alone last May, drunk and despondent.

The victim said Stricklan took her down to the beach, where he raped her and left her by herself, still intoxicated. — From wire reports

Paul Revere begins his ride in 1775 Today is Sunday, April 18, the 108th day of 2010. There are 257 days left in the year.

TODAY’S HIGHLIGHT IN HISTORY On April 18, 1775, Paul Revere began his famous ride from Charlestown to Lexington, Mass., warning American colonists that the British were coming.

ON THIS DATE In 1906, a devastating earthquake struck San Francisco, followed by raging fires; estimates of the final death toll ranged between 3,000 and 6,000.

In 1910, suffragists showed up at the U.S. Capitol with half a million signatures on petitions demanding that women receive the right to vote.

In 1934, the first laundromat (called a “washateria�) opened, in Fort Worth, Texas.

In 1942, an air squadron from the USS Hornet led by Lt. Col. James H. Doolittle raided Tokyo and other Japanese cities.

In 1945, famed American war correspondent Ernie Pyle, 44, was killed by Japanese gunfire on the Pacific island of Ie Shima off Okinawa.

In 1946, the League of Nations went out of business.

In 1949, the Republic of Ireland was proclaimed.

In 1978, the Senate approved the Panama Canal Treaty, providing for the complete turnover of control of the waterway to Panama on the last day of 1999.

In 1980, the independent nation of Zimbabwe, formerly Zimbabwe Rhodesia, came into being.

T O D AY I N H I S T O R Y In 1983, 63 people, including 17 Americans, were killed at the U.S. Embassy in Beirut, Lebanon, by a suicide bomber.

TEN YEARS AGO In a defeat for the United States, a United Nations commission in Geneva voted 22-18 against censuring China’s human rights record.

Robert L. Yates Jr. was arrested in Spokane, Wash., and charged with murdering a teenage prostitute. (Yates later confessed to killing 13 people and was sentenced to 408 years in prison; he was subsequently convicted of two other killings and sentenced to death.)

In his first game back following a 12-game suspension for making disparaging remarks about minorities, gays and immigrants, Atlanta’s John Rocker pitched a scoreless ninth inning in a 4-3, 12-inning victory over Philadelphia.

FIVE YEARS AGO Cardinals meeting at the Vatican failed to select a successor to Pope John Paul II in their first round of voting. Lance Armstrong announced he was retiring after the upcoming Tour de France (however, he came out of retirement three years later).

Defending champion Catherine Ndereba of Kenya became the first woman to win a fourth Boston Marathon, and Ethiopia’s Hailu Negussie won the men’s race. (Marathon grand marshal Jacqueline Gareau was given the

chance to re-create her actual victory in the 1980 race, supposedly won by hoaxster Rosie Ruiz; Gareau ran the last 100 yards of the course and broke a tape at the finish line.)

ONE YEAR AGO President Barack Obama offered a spirit of cooperation to America’s hemispheric neighbors at the Summit of the Americas in Port-of-Spain, Trinidad.

The White House said President Barack Obama was “deeply disappointed� at news Iran had convicted American journalist Roxana Saberi of spying for the United States and sentenced her to eight years in prison. (Saberi was released on appeal the following month.)

Emma Hendrickson, a 100year-old great-great-grandmother from Morris Plains, N.J., became the oldest competitor in the history of the United States Bowling Congress Women’s Championships, rolling a 115, 97 and 106 for a 318 series during team competition at the National Bowling Stadium in Reno.

O Urban farming in Portland gives comedian quite a kick Comedian Timmy Williams and wife Kristin are photographed in March with some of their laying hens in Portland. One of the newest urban farmers in the area, Williams, 28, is one-fifth of The Whitest Kids U’Know, a New Yorkbased comedy troupe he joined as a college student in 2001.

By Peter Ames Carlin The Oreg onian

PORTLAND — Timmy Williams has a glass-front chicken brooder in one corner of his living room and a rabbit in a cage in another. The guest room is dominated by a table full of just-sprouted lettuce, broccoli, spinach and kale soaking up grow-light. And the fridge in the step-in kitchen holds his own home-brewed ginger beer, along with a freshly made pumpkin pie. He’s particularly proud of the pie.

“I’m trying to prove,” Williams says, “that you can be bad-ass AND bake.”

Which is funny. And explains why the shelf by the TV includes at least one boxed set of DVDs with Williams’ picture on its cover.

The newest urban farmer in Rose City is also a TV star. Williams, 28, is one-fifth of The Whitest Kids U’Know, a New Yorkbased comedy troupe he joined as a college student in 2001.

The group is still together, and Williams will soon rejoin his mates to write and shoot their show’s fifth season. But he won’t be away for long: Portland’s relaxed pace, and the balance between funky oddities, cosmopolitan culture and the balm of nature, won him and his wife, Kristin, 30, over for good. “We want to grow our own food, raise our own animals and make stuff on our own. We’ve already made our own cheese, our own pickles and pizza dough.”

Along the way, he’s making himself into what may be an entirely new breed.

“I want to be a comedianfarmer.”

Growing plans Sitting at his small kitchen table, a glass of homemade ginger beer in one hand and a frequently ringing cell phone in the other, Williams describes his plans with a kind of electric enthusiasm. His cheeks flush with excitement, his already-boyish voice climbs to keep up with his excitement.

Forget the intricacies of showbiz for a moment and tune in to what’s really cool: the secondhand chicken coop outside that will house the four growing hens (all named for the other Whitest Kids, despite the obvious gender discrepancy).

Soon, the ragged back lawn in their Rose City bungalow will be plowed under to make room for lines of lettuce, broccoli and other leafy greens that will prepare the land for subsequent seasons of potatoes, carrots, cucumbers and who knows what all.

If they can turn their ordinarysized backyard (about a tenth of an acre, Williams estimates) into a mini-farm productive enough to feed themselves, Williams and Kristin will head further from town for a larger spread where they can produce crops large

Ross William Hamilton The Oregonian

“I’m trying to prove that you can be bad-ass AND bake.”

— Timmy Williams, The Whitest Kids U’Know enough to send to market.

“And I keep thinking about building a stage, too. In the summer, we could have outdoor comedy festivals!”

Meanwhile, Timmy and Kristin — she’s training to be an electrician — are already eager adopters of the do-it-yourself life. Kristin makes her own pickles. Their pizza is entirely handmade, from the dough to the cheese. Nothing TV glam about that.

But then again, when Williams went to Hollywood last month to help his troupe-mates present a trophy at the Independent Spirit Awards, he ended up in the hospital — no DIY here — felled by a fired-up appendix. Too sick to stand onstage, he spent the show in the front row. Just beyond the grasp of the spotlights and not unhappy to be there, it seems.

Comedy creation Everything comes with a context, and for Williams a lot of it stems from his childhood in South Dakota, where his dad sold used cars and his mom worked as a teacher. The oldest of six kids, Williams studied English for a year at a small Catholic university, then in the late summer of 2001 transferred to Brooklyn College in New York to pursue his deepening interest in film and writing.

Williams had been in school for a week or two when he learned, in the middle of a class lecture one Tuesday morning, that the entire university would shut down for the foreseeable future. It was Sept. 11, just after 9 a.m. The safest place to go after the twin towers were struck, everyone agreed,

was back to their rooms.

Williams’ dorm was in Brooklyn Heights, just across the East River from the World Trade Center. Other kids were in the hall, Williams introduced himself, and after a few hours learned he had something in common with the four guys around him. They all were comedy fans toying with the idea of starting their own performance troupe. In the shadow of a nightmare, a bright idea emerged.

The Whitest Kids U’Know was formed.

First no one cared, but the crew kept writing, and soon drew a regular crowd to weekly performances at a downtown nightclub.

A manager came onboard after another year or two, and then another agent who helped broker their step toward television. Eventually they sold a pilot to the Fuse channel, which aired their first few dozen shows. Later, they moved up to their current home on IFC. Now Williams enjoys getting to know his neighbors, most of whom are retired, some since before Williams was born. Consider the 90-year-old guy down the street. Williams loves that guy.

“He has an amazing garden.”

And when Portland beckons, he explores the hot spots everyone talks about. Voodoo Doughnut, the Bagdad Theater, Powell’s Books and more. Williams appears in local comedy shows when someone asks, and most often he prefers to take the bus into town, saving money and gas, even as he’s tracking the odd characters and absorbing their thoughts and sometimes unexpected actions.

“It’s definitely a quirky town,” he says.

Treasury officers allegedly reimbursed for free meals The Associated Press PORTLAND — A newspaper investigation has found that Oregon Treasury officials are reimbursed for free meals provided by investment firms during their travels to manage the $67 billion state investment program.

The Oregonian reported that free meals are standard fare and typically held at famous restaurants for Treasury officials who oversee the way investment companies manage Oregon’s pension, accident insurance and common school funds.

But the newspaper said it found plenty of examples of double dipping on meals. It said one Treasury investment officer claimed $756 for meals on a five-day trip despite a free dinner at a sumptuous five-star hotel in Vienna, along with other free meals at expensive restaurants.

Last September, Sam Green attended the annual meeting of Apax Partners in Vienna, Austria. The night before the meeting, Apax bought dinner for a group of investors at the sumptuous, five-star Hotel Imperial.

The next day, Apax provided breakfast and lunch between business presentations at Vienna’s Albertina Museum.

In the evening, the investment firm laid on cocktails and dinner at one of the city’s masterpieces of baroque architecture, the Palais Daun-Kinsky.

All those meals were free.

Yet the newspaper said that Green’s expense form shows he claimed a meal allowance for every meal on the five-day trip, including those on his business-class flights to and from the meeting. The cost to taxpayers: $756.

Green did not respond to questions about his travel, including whether he attended any of the meals.

On Oct. 12, John Hershey attended Alinda Infrastructure’s annual meeting, where the investment manager hosted dinner at New York’s Cafe at Le

Cirque. When Hershey returned to Oregon, he claimed the $35.50 meal per diem covering that dinner.

Hershey didn’t respond to written questions from The Oregonian, and Treasury refused to confirm his attendance at the dinner.

Investment officers often claim meal allowances on trips from the moment they leave their front door until the moment they return. On multi-day trips, they add up fast.

On a 16-day trip to Seoul, Hong Kong and Sydney last November, investment officer Andy Hayes claimed $2,300 for meal allowances. That covered every meal on the trip, though Treasury records show he was to attend multiple meetings and a conference where meals were provided, not to mention meals provided on several flights.

State investment officers were paid on average a little less than $200,000 last year. They logged some 500,000 air miles in 2009 on trips to monitor the state portfolio, including visits to investment fund managers, annual and advisory board meetings for private partnerships, and investment-related conferences and seminars.

At the request of Treasury officials, The Oregonian submitted detailed factual statements regarding investment officers’ trips.

The agency didn’t contest the accuracy of any of the statements, instead saying it had decided not to provide responses.

Railway touts this part of Oregon in 1910 booklet 100 YEARS AGO For the week ending April 17, 1910

Doug Duran / Contra Costa Times

Cyndi and Doug Gray, of Livermore, Calif., recently purchased a beachfront condominium in Manzanillo, Mexico, where they eventually plan to live much of the year after retiring. They are part of a growing trend of people who plan on spending part of the year in Mexico as an affordable place to live after retirement.

‘SILVER SURGE’

More baby boomers expected to spend golden years in Mexico

By Kathleen Kirkwood Contra Costa Times

WALNUT CREEK, Calif. — Brad Billingsley could have been waiting for his tee time at an Arizona golf course.

Instead, the former Lafayette, Calif., resident and his wife, Linda, were in a lagoon off Cabo San Lucas, Mexico, snapping photos of gray whales bobbing next to their small charter boat.

“Every day, it’s an adventure here,” Brad Billingsley said. “It’s added 20 years to my life.”

Brad, 62, and Linda Billingsley, 61, are among the “silver surge” of baby boomers seeking alternative retirement nests in Mexico, according to a recent report by the International Community Foundation.

It’s not certain how many U.S. retirees are living in Mexico — a 2004 study puts the number between 500,000 and 600,000 — but the foundation and other researchers say an increase is likely as more boomers settle into their golden years and find Mexico an affordable alternative. Almost half the retirees living in coastal areas are getting by comfortably on less than $1,000 per month, said the report.

The Billingsleys had seriously considered a retirement community with a golf course in central Arizona. But they lacked the enthusiasm for fairway living that seemed to consume retirees there.

“Their entire lives were involved with golf,” Brad Billingsley said.

In 2007, the couple became expatriates and settled into a $300,000, two-bedroom beachfront condominium in Rosarito Beach, in Baja California.

They’ve made the most of their retirement dollars, Brad Billingsley said. The cost of living — from groceries to health care — is low in their beachfront town, and there’s plenty to do.

The couple lived in California’s Bay Area for 60 years, much of it in Walnut Creek and Lafayette.

Sometimes they miss their old haunts, especially bookstores, Brad Billingsley said. But like most expatriates surveyed in the foundation’s report, they return often to the U.S. The Billingsleys

make a trip across the border to San Diego every few weeks.

Affordability, quality of life, weather and proximity to the U.S. were top reasons retirees chose Mexico, according to the foundation report, which surveyed 842 expatriates about their experiences.

“After the market crash of 2008, we wanted to better understand what was going on with retirees in Mexico,” said Richard Kiy, president and chief executive officer of the foundation, a Southern California-based nonprofit. In an 88-question survey of retirees 50 and older, the foundation found that expatriates had weathered the economic storm well.

The foundation’s 17-page report, released in March, deals with demographics and day-to-day basics such as public safety concerns and household expenses of retirees in Mexico’s coastal areas such as Cancun, Rosarito Beach and Rocky Point.

A weakening American economy, U.S. State Department travel alerts and worries about the H1N1 virus have hurt tourist travel numbers to Mexico over the past year, but the country still remains an attractive haven for retirees, said Anne McEnany, co-author of the foundation’s report and the foundation’s senior adviser for environment and conservation.

Reports of narcotics-related violence, especially in border cities such as Tijuana and Nogales, initially gave many retirees the jitters, McEnany said. But that anxiety fades after they’ve settled into their new homes, she said.

“I’m really saddened to see coverage of (Mexican) crime in the media,” said Doug Gray, 60, a retired fire captain from the East Bay. He and his wife, Cyndi, who live in Livermore, recently purchased a condominium in Manzanillo, a port city between Puerto Vallarta and Acapulco. They say they feel as safe — if not safer — walking around the mercados and boulevards as they did in Livermore.

“We really love the pace,” Cyndi Gray said. “It’s a slower pace, and you can sit down there and get into the groove. I can unplug.”

BEND’S NEW AIRPORT PUT INTO USE TODAY Bend’s new airport, on The Dalles-California highway north of town, was used for the first time today when Lawrence J. Sohler, local pilot, brought his ship down to a perfect landing on one of the new runways.

Sohler, accompanied by Phil F. Brogan of The Bulletin staff, used only a portion of the shorter runway in landing the first airplane ever “put down” on the new field and took off from this same runway without using the remainder of the cleared space.

Sohler’s comment following two successful landings on the municipal airport was that the field is perfect. He has announced that he is to transfer his base from Knott Field to the airport and will take passengers aloft from the new field next Sunday.

One of the first to greet Sohler when he landed was William L. Van Allen, who was on his way to Prineville and drove to the field when he saw the plane coming down.

50 YEARS AGO For the week ending April 17, 1960 COURTS SHOULD HAND OUT STIFF SENTENCES TO THOSE WHO FAKE ‘BOMBS’ ON AIRPLANES (Editorial) The days of practical jokes about planting bombs on airliners are just about over.

The reason: You’ll probably spend some time in jail if you are caught. And you might have to cough up a $1.000 fine.

The FBI and the airlines are finally getting tough.

They’ve arrested six persons in the past seven days for “joking” that bombs had been planted on airliners.

All face possible one-year prison sentences and $1,000 fines if convicted.

Convict a few of these happy people and this “joking” will stop.

75 YEARS AGO

ity in a good many years. In fact, we do not remember ever to have heard of elk being seen hereabouts. Lieutenant Phil Sheridan, of the Pacific railroad survey party in 1855, killed an elk in the Sisters section and signs of elk have been found south of Sisters, toward Broken Top and in the Squaw Creek basin, but none over this way.

It is a fair guess that the cows of this group are the animals that were brought over from the Ochoco last summer and liberated up near Todd Lake.

They ranged over that country and toward Sparks Lake all through the season and apparently came down to the Deschutes as winter came on, instead of working over the summit and into the Willamette or McKenzie woods as do the elk found in the summer on the west slope of the Three Sisters.

It will be interesting to see if these elk continue to live east of the summit. If they do, they may develop into one more attraction for this Bend area.

A research study with a pharmaceutical company evaluating the safety and effects of an investigational drug for Type 2 Diabetes is being conducted.

G.N. GETS INTO BOOSTING GAME The first gun has been fired in the campaign of Central Oregon publicity by the Great Northern railroad. A splendid folder titled “Opening Up Central Oregon” has just been published by Louis Hill’s road, 75,000 copies of which are now being put in the hands of the land hungry and the home and investment seeker in every corner of America. The pamphlet is the forerunner of a far larger booklet on Central Oregon to be published by the Great Northern, which is now in preparation.

The advance booklet describes Central Oregon in detail, setting forth with merited enthusiasm the advantages it offers the settler, with particular reference to the homestead and “dry land” openings, while irrigation, lumbering and manufacturing possibilities are strongly outlined.

Some introductory extracts illustrate the general trend of the publication: The building of the Oregon Trunk Railway over 200 miles down the valley of the Deschutes River in Central Oregon is opening up to settlement practically the largest area of undeveloped territory remaining in the Pacific Northwest.

Interior Oregon is today what eastern Washington was 25 years ago, and it has potentially the same possibilities of wealth that the rich fruit and grain growing sections of Washington, lying in the Columbia River Basin, and Big Bend country has.

It is estimated by lumbermen that 18 billion feet of timber can be brought to Bend on downhill grades. A large dam will be constructed 1½ miles south of the town on the Deschutes River, forming a large mill pond covering 145 acres or more. This will give room for five sawmills cutting approximately 1 million feet of lumber daily. Two-hundred-fifty-thousand horsepower can be provided from the Deschutes River in the immediate vicinity of Bend.

The leaflet is handsomely executed in two colors. An excellent map shows the new railroad from the Columbia extending to Bend as a terminus.

The Bend school is one of the most taking illustrations while a number of Deschutes Valley views and settlers’ letters make this as fine a publicity production as any issued in Oregon.

It is understood that the Bend Commercial Club will receive a large number of copies for advantageous distribution.

The last two arrests were typical.

In Columbus, Ohio, FBI agents arrested Julius Radwanski for allegedly telling an airline clerk his suitcase was heavy because it had a bomb in it.

Radwanski’s bag was searched, but no bomb was found. His Columbus to Pittsburgh flight was delayed 32 minutes.

In San Francisco, William Grant was seeing his wife off on a San Francisco to Los Angeles flight. He asked a ticket agent about taking out an insurance policy for his wife.

The agent told him his wife would have to sign it. The agent said Grant then commented “Well, I guess the bomb won’t do any good then.”

That flight was held up 33 minutes while Mrs. Grant and her luggage were searched.

Said Grant, “What’s the matter? Can’t you guys take a joke?”

25 YEARS AGO For the week ending April 17, 1985 SISTERS EIGHTH-GRADERS TAKE ON MEXICO Culture shock became more than a tired cliche for 10 Sisters Spanish students and their chaperones last week.

The students flew to Mexico City and then took a bus to Taxco and Acapulco over spring break.

Janis Quiros, Sisters Spanish and language arts teacher, led the group of students with her husband, David Quiros, and district employee June Eidenburger.

The trip was “a real learning experience and eye-opener because the culture in Mexico is so

different from the United States and Sisters,” Quiros said.

Quiros planned the trip to allow her eighth-grade Spanish students to practice their new language.

“I didn’t realize what a growing experience it would be,” she said. “The kids were in awe the entire trip.”

Crystal Gess most remembers the sunny beaches of Acapulco. “It was crunchy,” she said. “I loved Mexico City, all the vendors.”

Missy April said she felt sorry for the many beggars in the streets.

“Living there wouldn’t be too much fun,” she said. “Mexico City is too big; there are too many people.”

Eric Vande Weg didn’t like Mexico City. “It wasn’t someplace I’d like to live,” he said. “I have never liked cities. It was too much of a rat race ... too busy.”

“The Mexican people were really nice, friendly,” Nicole Nicholes said. “When you walked down the street, they were respectful. I thought they would be mean; that’s what I had heard.”

Mexico City was not her favorite part of the tour, Nicholes said. “The air was thick in Mexico City. The pollution covered the sun. The air didn’t smell good. It smelled like sulphur and garbage. We got a lot of sun in Taxco.”

Stephanie Shehan said men and boys in Acapulco “stared at me.” They touched her blond hair.

“Mexico is nice but dirty,” said John Boardman.

Quiros said she probably wouldn’t take students back to Mexico City again. She’s considering going straight to the Mexican beaches or Spain next year.

“Mexico City is a little dangerous, and the kids weren’t aware of the danger.”

But Quiros will guide another tour if students have the interest.

Dispute threatens Colorado’s rafters Rafters and property owners had an uneasy truce, but it’s evaporating in the face of legislation that would boost rafters’ rights

By Dan Frosch New York Times News Service

GUNNISON, Colo. — For years, Mark Schumacher has guided white-water rafts up and down the Taylor, a swiftmoving river that cuts through the canyons and cliffs outside Gunnison.

So when a wealthy developer who had bought a swath of nearby ranchland told local rafting outfitters last year that they could no longer float through his property, Schumacher was aghast.

“Locals have been running this river since the ’40s,” he said, “and here was this guy who was going to use every legal means to shut us down.”

Now, the dispute over the Taylor is reviving an old battle in Colorado, long a mecca for white-water rafting. At issue are the state’s water and property laws, which say that while the water in local rivers and streams is public, the beds and banks belong to whoever owns the adjacent land.

But Colorado’s rules for rafters and other boaters have always been vague. A coalition of ranchers, developers and property owners cites a 1979 state Supreme Court decision that found rafters needed permission to float through private land or face criminal trespassing charges.

‘Unlimited rights’?

Commercial rafting outfitters like Schumacher, however, point to a subsequent state statute that allows rafters to float through private property without the threat of criminal trespass charges provided their boats do not touch anything other than water. The issue of civil trespass charges, however, remains unsettled, opening the door to the dispute in Gunnison.

“The problem is that they want unlimited rights,” Dick Bratton, a lawyer for the developer, Lewis Shaw II, said of commercial rafting companies. “We’re saying they need to modify this and take into consideration the landowner’s rights also.”

Among Shaw’s concerns, Bratton said, is a fear that rafters will interfere with the fishing he wants to offer as an incentive for people who are thinking of buying lots and building homes on his land.

Until recently, an uneasy truce existed between rafters and landowners. But that truce quickly disintegrated this year over a bill introduced in the legislature that would bolster rafters’ rights to float through private property.

The proposal — introduced

by Rep. Kathleen Curry, an unaffiliated legislator from Gunnison — would allow commercial rafting companies to continue to operate on certain stretches of Colorado’s rivers without risk of civil or criminal trespassing charges.

It would also allow rafts to make incidental contact with riverbeds and banks on private land as long as no one got out of the craft except in an emergency.

“We’ve got an established floating industry that is a major economic driver in our state,” Curry said. “The revenue asso-

ciated with this business brings in over $140 million a year. It’s important that we find a way for both the floating industry and the property owners to coexist.”

The state House of Representatives passed the bill, but a groundswell of opposition has risen from landowners who fear it will erode personal property rights and allow rafters to use what the opponents consider is their land without permission.

“If somebody has an implied invite onto private property, you have a whole host of liability concerns added to the equation,” said Shawn Martini, spokesman for the Colorado Farm Bureau, which opposes the legislation.

Lee Spann, a cattle rancher whose land abuts a number of Colorado rivers, worried that expanding access for rafters would limit his ability to protect his property and would disrupt his private fishing business.

“Until now, we’ve had virtually no problems,” Spann said.

“They come and talk to me and say, ‘We’d like to float through.’

I say, ‘Fine, as long as you stay off the bank and stay off the bottom.’”

The Colorado River Outfitters Association, which comprises more than 50 rafting companies, says commercial rafters are always careful to respect any private property they pass through. Barring rafters from a stretch of river merely because it flows through private property would devastate the rafting industry, said Duke Bradford, a past chairman of the group.

Legal wrangling According to the rafting association, 16 Western states clearly allow rafters to float freely through private property without the threat of trespassing charges. In Colorado and North Dakota, the association says, the laws are less clear.

“You would wipe us off the map,” Bradford said. “Every river we run has private land. Rivers belong to the public. People don’t want them privatized.”

A state Senate committee decided last month that the issue needed further study, and Curry said she was reworking the bill in the hope it would be reconsidered.

Both sides, meanwhile, have submitted numerous potential ballot measures that would either expand or restrict access to rivers. If enough signatures are gathered, some measures will be put to Colorado voters in November.

With the start of rafting season less than a month away, the conflict on the Taylor shows no signs of waning. Bratton, the lawyer, said Shaw had offered a proposal that would tie the number of rafts allowed to float through his property to how high the river was running. But the rafting companies rejected the offer as inflexible. At the prompting of Gov. Bill Ritter, a Democrat, both sides agreed to attend a mediation session next week.

Still, Schumacher says he is as uncertain about where he will guide his rafts as he is about the fate of his business.

“At some point,” he said, “you have to put your foot down and clarify that we have the right to float.”

A bumper sticker available at Mark Schumacher’s business, Three Rivers Resort & Outfitting in Almont, Colo., advocates passage of pro-rafting legislation. Now both sides of the rafting debate have submitted numerous ballot measures, reviving an old argument between the state’s rafters and property owners.

Guyford Stever, a presidential science adviser, helped form NASA

By Patricia Sullivan The Washington Post

WASHINGTON — H. Guyford Stever, 93, the top science adviser to two presidents who also led the oversight committee that redesigned the space shuttle’s booster rockets after the Challenger disaster, died April 9 in Gaithersburg, Md. The cause was adult failure to thrive.

As chief scientist at the U.S. Air Force, Stever helped establish NASA in the late 1950s, and he was a key player in the nation’s space program a generation later.

After the space shuttle Challenger exploded in 1986, killing all seven crew members, Stever was appointed by the National Research Council to lead the 10-member panel of experts who served as independent watchdogs over the rebuilding of the shuttle’s booster rockets. It was a technically complex and politically sensitive job.

His leadership in that successful endeavor, as well as others, helped earn him the National Medal of Science in 1991 and the National Science Board’s prestigious Vannevar Bush Award in 1997. The latter award described him as “a voice of reason, wisdom and insight — our sage of science.”

He has also been described as a conscientious shepherd of the American scientific community, who advanced basic research and helped preserve government funding for it.

Stever’s work in science started long before the United States entered space. Horton Guyford Stever was born Oct. 24, 1916, in Corning, N.Y., and was orphaned as a boy. He graduated on schol-

“Science and technology have to prove their worth to public and government leaders. People are not anti-science, but they are asking lots more questions about it.”

— Guyford Stever, predicting a rising concern about chemicals arship from Colgate University in Hamilton, N.Y., and received a doctorate in physics from the California Institute of Technology in 1941.

He contributed to seminal research on radar during World War II and developed international cooperation among scientists in radar and guided-missile development, working in Europe to evaluate how far the Germans had progressed in radar technology.

After the war, he became a professor at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, then took leave to be chief scientist at the Air Force in 1957. A month after the Soviet Union sent the Sputnik satellite into orbit, Stever was asked to lead the National Advisory Committee for Aeronautics’ special committee on space technology, which aimed to coordinate federal, educational and private entities to develop an American space program.

The panel became known as the Stever Committee.

He became president of the Carnegie Institute of Technology in Pittsburgh in 1965, and two years later led its merger with the Mellon Institute of Research, becoming Carnegie Mellon University.

He led the school until 1972, when he became director of the

National Science Foundation and also science adviser to President Richard Nixon. Nixon abolished the White House Office of Science and Technology three years later, but when Congress re-established it in 1976, President Gerald Ford asked Stever to return to lead it.

In 1976, Stever told the trade publication Chemical Week that he predicted that the problem of toxic chemicals in the environment would continue to grow and that the public would increasingly ask hard questions of the scientific establishment.

“Science and technology have to prove their worth to public and government leaders,” he said.

“People are not anti-science, but they are asking lots more questions about it.”

Cuban activist Carlos Franqui dies at 89

By Danica Coto The Associated Press

SAN JUAN, Puerto Rico — Cuban writer and political activist Carlos Franqui, an important figure in the Cuban revolution who later became one of the most outspoken critics of Fidel Castro, has died.

He was 89.

Franqui died late Thursday in Puerto Rico after a brief hospitalization for bronchial and heart problems, according to family friend Andres Candelario.

The son of a poor farmer, Franqui entered leftist movements as a youth, joined and left the Communist Party and became a journalist who eventually joined Castro’s rebellion against Fulgencio Batista.

He edited the movement newspaper “Revolucion” before and after Castro’s insurgents defeated Batista, but increasingly clashed with hardliners who were restricting cultural and political dissent.

Franqui moved abroad in 1963 and openly broke with the communist government in 1968 when he denounced the Soviet invasion of Czechoslovakia.

“For him, the experience of having helped build a revolution that destroyed his country was extraordinarily bitter,” Candelario said. “He was immensely affected by having forced a system that in the end he had to confront and fight against.”

In a 2006 interview with the Mexican magazine “Letras Libres,” Franqui said he had rejected Fidel Castro’s offer to be a military commander and later a minister.

“What I wanted to create was a cultural revolution, not a bureaucratic one, and invite the whole world to get to know Cuba and its Revolution,” he said.

In the end, he said he decided that freedom of expression was incompatible with revolutionary thought: “Culture is liberty, and the revolution is the negation of liberty.”

Yachats no longer hungry for groceries

By Winston Ross The (Eugene) Register-Guard

Ryan Brennecke / The Bulletin

Holden Korish, 7, and his sister Ari Korish, 5, lean in to take a closer look at what Tina Myers was painting on the face of Mac Hamlin, 6, during the Bend Spring Festival on Saturday.

Sheriff Continued from B1 Clark said he’s shepherded the department through tough economic times without sacrificing services to the public. The 66year-old was a lieutenant in the U.S. Army during the Vietnam War, and the leadership skills he learned during that time, combined with experience in law enforcement and his business background have helped him in his tenure as sheriff, he said.

“I tend to emphasize the financial side (as my strongest suit) because that’s what is consuming us right now,” Clark said. “But I think my strongest qualities are my leadership qualities that I bring to the organization.”

Clark said he’s worked to replace money cut from the budget with grants. He renegotiated a contract with Jefferson County jail to lower the bed rental rates, and went through the budget line by line, cutting where possible.

“What we could cut, we did cut,” he said. “We don’t spend money we don’t have. We have to have a balanced budget.”

The Sheriff’s Office general fund budget is about $4 million.

On the Crook County sheriff patrol cars, a slogan reads: People serving people. That, Clark said, is indicative of the feeling in the office.

“Without relationships, you can’t be successful,” Clark said. “What we teach here to our deputies and office staff is relationships are primary. We have to treat people the way we want to be treated. Our logo is people serving people, usually it’s protect and serve, but it’s a small community. And we view ourselves simply as people serving other people in the community.”

The reason Clark wants to continue as sheriff, he said, is simple: He loves his job.

“I was raised in a farming family; no one retired,” he said. “We worked until we couldn’t work anymore. I suppose that’s my philosophy. I don’t know how much longer I’ll be here. If my health continues to be good, and I continue to like what I’m doing and the community wants me, I’m going to continue to serve.”

If elected again, Clark said that at the end of his next term,

Road closures for Bend Spring Festival

“That old store had a whole row full of Styrofoam coolers. Now it has stuff you might actually want to buy.”

— Ron Brean, mayor Bend developer bought it in 2007 — and then shuttered it at the beginning of this year.

People in Yachats banded together immediately after the store closed to get groceries to residents who couldn’t drive to nearby Waldport, Brean noted, setting up a hot line for those who needed help. But there was never much doubt that something would come along to take Clark’s place, he said.

C&K is a family-owned company based in Brookings that operates Ray’s Food Place, Shop Smart and Price Less Foods

stores. The Yachats store is its 60th, CEO Doug Nidiffer said.

C&K had most of the inventory and equipment it installed in the Yachats store in stock already. So most of the work — after a lease was negotiated with the property owner — had to do with refurbishing and figuring out how to stock the shelves.

“It mirrors what we do in other markets, but it’s a small store in terms of the footprint size and square footage,” Nidiffer said.

“There’s a little less selection, so we try to pick the best-selling items from our bigger stores.”

Vendor Jason Quade said he’d been able to attract a fair bit of attention to his mobile bicycle repair business with a custom cruiser bike he’d built.

YACHATS — There is once again a place to buy groceries in Yachats. A gleaming revamp of the once-shuttered Clark’s Market has swung open its doors under the banner of C&K Market.

The best part, says Mayor Ron Brean, is that the new store is way better than the old one, which closed a little over three months ago.

“They went in and gutted it, put new floors down, cleaned it up, new fixtures,” Brean said.

“It’s stocked with stuff. That old store had a whole row full of Styrofoam coolers. Now it has stuff you might actually want to buy.”

Forgive Brean for laying it on a little thick. He’s more proud of how quickly a critical problem got solved than he is critical of the old shop, which served loyal customers for 30 years before a

he would like to look back on the past four years and be able to say he made substantial progress toward giving the city a new jail.

The attributes Clark said he has are similar to what Hensley said he brings to the table. And Hensley disputes both Clark’s fiscal strategies and his relationshipbuilding skills.

Hensley, 54, worked as Clark’s undersheriff for eight years. He said he would be more accessible as sheriff, with his door always open. Having moved to Crook County when he was 15 years old, he understands the needs of the community, he said. And he agrees with Clark that the department needs someone good with numbers, but he said, he’s the man to rein in spending and maintain services.

“There are savings in my opinion, money being spent where I could personally save the county lots of money,” he said. “Things are being bought that aren’t necessary.”

Hensley said unnecessary expenditures in the Sheriff’s Office range from employees getting a free lunch to other nonessential purchases.

“If you’re in town, you buy your own lunch. You don’t have to buy lunch for people within the office and say it’s a lunch meeting,” Hensley said.

“Over the years in my career, I’ve seen where other sheriff’s offices in the state ... typically drive older patrol vehicles,” he said.

“They don’t go out and buy a new patrol vehicle when there is nothing wrong with their own.”

Clark said the office replaces patrol vehicles every two to four years and typically keeps them until they have at least 150,000 miles on them. The working lunches, Clark said, often make sense and are cheaper than paying an employee in overtime to stay after work.

Hensley, who has three children and four grandchildren, said his years in the county have resulted in an excellent relationship with the county’s department heads.

“When a problem comes up, you work together,” he said.

In 2007, a former Crook County sheriff’s deputy claimed during a staff meeting that Clark threatened to fire any employee who ran against him in an upcoming elec-

skies would hold for the rest of the day.

“You take your chances,” said Minor, 40. “Spring in Bend, you know, we could wake up to snow tomorrow.”

The festival continues today from 11 a.m. until 4 p.m.

tion. Clark was found not guilty on charges of official misconduct and undue influence.

Hensley has worked in the Crook County Community Corrections Department for about two years.

“I’m a firm believer I can really help the citizens of Crook County get the best possible services they can receive in a more fiscally responsible manner,” Hensley said.

“All I want to do is be the best sheriff I can be for them and go from there. It’s been an honor to have served Crook County citizens well over 27 years, and I’m looking forward to serving as sheriff if that’s what the voters decide.”

Continued from B1 The Natural Resource Conservation Service will reach out to landowners, Tollefson said, and provide funds and guidance for landowners for efforts like restoring habitat, or trying different grazing techniques to give sage grouse more room during mating season.

The federal agency has offices in almost every county, and a big part of its job is to work with landowners to help improve habitat conditions, said Jeremy Maestas, Redmond-based state habitat biologist for the Natural Resource Conservation Service.

“We’re real excited about this, and we’ve had a lot of

interest,” Maestas said about the sage grouse project.

The goal is to treat 53,000 acres of sage grouse habitat — many of it around the sage grouse strutting grounds called leks — in the next three years, he said.

And much of the work involves getting rid of juniper trees that have grown in due to a lack of fire, sucking up water and pushing out native sagebrush and other plants.

“It doesn’t take many trees for suitable grouse habitat to become unsuitable,” Maestas said.

The projects could also improve water quality in areas as Self Referrals Welcome

well, and allow grasses that livestock like to munch on to grow.

“What’s good for cows is good for grouse, and we’re trying to demonstrate there’s a balance,” he said.

A pelican spreads its wings near a small flock of buffleheads in the Link River. Though ungainly in appearance, the American white pelican has an adult wingspan of 8 feet or more and can migrate for long distances.

ern Oregon city.

From the shores of Upper Klamath Lake, the state’s largest inland body of water, to marshy Tule Lake on the California border, this great bird is king of the wetlands. Whether gliding low over irrigation channels in search of small fish, or paddling through lake waters with its strong webbed feet, the pelican cuts a fine profile across the Klamath Basin region.

The pelican is but one of more than 350 species of distinctive birds that makes its home here, or that visits for extended periods on annual migrations. Indeed, the Klamath Basin is a paradise for bird-watchers.

Stretching well over 80 miles, from the forested peaks of the Cascades to the Modoc badlands of the Great Basin, it embraces abundant grasslands, flourishing marshlands and juniper woods.

The Last Band Standing series that begins Thursday at Boondocks Bar & Grill in Bend will feature bands. And they’ll battle against each other in hopes of winning audience votes, and ultimately a lucrative first-place prize.

But Jennifer Meyer, marketing specialist for Combined Communications in Bend and the driving force behind Last Band Standing, doesn’t like to call the event a battle of the bands.

“I get protective of (calling it a) ‘battle of the bands’ versus ‘Last Band Standing’ because a battle of the bands has this underlying competition perception right when you say it,” she said. “When you’re dealing with art, in most cases, artists don’t want to compete.

“When we started Last Band Standing five years ago, we chose the name (because) we wanted everyone to know that it wasn’t necessarily just a competition, but a showcase of local talent,” she said.

Next week: Unique Oregon hotels Lower Klamath National Wildlife Refuge was the nation’s first waterfowl sanctuary. Established in 1908 by President Theodore Roosevelt, the nearly 47,000-acre refuge sprawls on both sides of the Oregon-California border about a dozen miles south of Klamath Falls. Today, it is just one of numerous refuges — including Upper Klamath, Klamath Marsh, Bear Valley, Tule Lake and Clear Lake — that punctuates the farmland of Southern Oregon.

Marriage is about sharing love, not finding fault Dear Abby: It saddens me when I hear women complain that men don’t do their fair share around the home. When a woman says, “He didn’t put the toilet seat down,” I want to ask, “Did you put it back up for him?” When a woman says, “He didn’t pick up his dishes,” I want to ask, “Did you clean up the oil spot your car left in the garage?” When a woman says, “He left his clothes on the floor,” I want to ask, “Did you dump the unpaid bills on his desk?”

I believe marriage is a personal relationship between two loving people, not an opportunity to complain to others about perceived abuses.

During the 40 years my husband and I have been married, we both worked and managed to raise three productive members of society. We have a tacit agreement. Each of us does absolutely everything possible to keep the home running smoothly, never tallying and setting up balance sheets. Out of love, each of us does whatever improves our common good, and both of us find reason for daily surprises as we receive in kind from the other.

— Jo in Phoenix Dear Jo: You and your husband are fortunate to have found each other, and you have obviously worked out a formula for a lasting and meaningful marriage. You should bottle it!

Dear Abby: My stepmother allowed me to live in one of her properties for very low rent, which was a great gift. I will soon be searching for a home to buy, and this is where I have a problem.

My stepsister, “Diana,” is a real estate agent who has been hit with hard times in this economy.

Naturally, my stepmom would like me to hire her daughter, but Diana is lazy, uncommitted and unfamiliar with the area in which I want to buy.

I have another agent in mind who specializes in homes in my area, who can recommend neighborhoods and show me as many

DEAR ABBY houses as needed. I don’t want to disappoint my stepmother if I don’t hire her daughter. What should I do?

— In a Bind in Tennessee Dear In a Bind: Hire the real estate agent you have in mind. And if your stepmother brings up the subject, tell her that you did so because the person is more familiar with the area in which you want to live. However, do not tell her that you consider her daughter to be lazy and uncommitted because I guarantee she will take it personally.

Dear Abby: My grandfather died recently, and I missed some school because I went to his funeral out of state. When people ask me where I went and I tell them, they ask if I’m going to be OK and say how sorry they are.

They all act like they expect me to break down and start crying any second.

The problem is, I didn’t really know my grandfather that well.

He lived across the country, and the few times I got to visit him I can honestly say I didn’t really like him — if you’re even allowed to say that about a grandparent.

How am I supposed to tell these people that I am not broken up about him dying, and I’m not going to burst into tears any time soon?

— Not Crying in Iowa Dear Not Crying: It is not necessary to say that to anyone to whom you aren’t close. All you need to say is, “Thank you for offering your sympathy. It was nice of you to do that.” Then change the subject by asking the person what he or she has been doing.

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

On the tube: Music, fashion and romance

By Chuck Barney Contra Costa Times

“Academy of Country Music Awards” 8 tonight, CBS What happens in Vegas stays in Vegas — unless you nab an Academy of Country Music Award. Then, it gets aired all over the country in a fancy gala hosted by Reba McEntire. Performers include Lady Antebellum, Carrie Underwood, Kenny Chesney and Tim McGraw.

“Beauty and the Briefcase” 8 tonight, ABC Family Hilary Duff (“Lizzie McGuire”) returns to series TV in “Beauty and the Briefcase.”

She’s a journalist working on a story about careers and romance. The assignment requires her to go undercover in the corporate world and find true love.

“Earth Days” 9 p.m. Monday, OPB “Earth Days,” the latest installment of “American Experience,” traces the origins of the modern environmental movement, including the first Earth Day in 1970.

Among those interviewed: former Secretary of the Interior Stewart Udall and Earth Day organizer Denis Hayes.

“Romantically Challenged” 9:32 p.m. Monday, ABC Another TV vet, Alyssa Milano, returns to prime time in “Romantically Challenged.”

She plays a recently divorced lawyer and mom who re-enters the dating scene. Just one problem: She hasn’t dated since Clinton was in office.

“Glee” 9 p.m. Tuesday, Fox Madonna fans will get a kick of out the latest episode of “Glee,” which finds the girl singers being disrespected

by the boys. As a remedy, Mr. Shuester looks to Madonna and her musical message of equality and confidence. Among the featured songs: “Like a Prayer,” “Express Yourself” and “Like a Virgin.”

“Idol Gives Back” 8 p.m. Wednesday, Fox “American Idol” once again opens its heart — and its wallet — to the needy with the show’s fundraising special, “Idol Gives Back.” Alicia Keys, Carrie Underwood, the Black Eyed Peas, Annie Lennox and Jeff Beck headline the talent list.

“The Office” 9 p.m. Thursday, NBC It’s another crazy day at “The Office,” where Andy (Ed Helms) goes all out to make Secretary’s Day oh so special for Erin (Ellie Kemper). But the plan could blow up in his face when Michael opens his big mouth about Andy’s past relationship with Angela.

“Party Down” 10:30 p.m. Friday, Starz Jane Lynch (“Glee”) may have departed, but the critically acclaimed cult sitcom “Party Down” still packs plenty of punch as it follows a hapless Hollywood catering crew. Joining the cast for Season 2 is Megan Mullally (“Will & Grace”).

“Doctor Who” 9 p.m. Saturday, BBC America “The new season of “Doctor Who” continues with its new doc (Matt Smith). Now comes a visit to the distant future — a time when the Earth is abandoned and some citizens are living

aboard a starship in space, looking for a new home.

“You Don’t Know Jack” 9 p.m. Saturday, HBO It’s not often that iconic actor Al Pacino graces the small screen in a made-for-TV movie. The man who won an Emmy for his riveting performance in “Angels in America,” returns to pay cable in this chilling film about Dr. Jack Kevorkian, one of the most divisive public figures of the 1990s. Directed by Barry Levinson, “Jack” is an absorbing character study of a man who provoked controversy — and sensational headlines — for his crusade to help patients end their lives via assisted suicide. Joining Pacino is the cast are Susan Sarandon, Brenda Vaccaro and John Goodman.

Klamath Falls Continued from C1 A system of backcountry roads makes it easy for Klamath-area visitors to explore the wildlife refuges. Klamath Falls makes an ideal base, as it is centrally located among the refuges. The city of 21,000 people has numerous inexpensive lodgings and restaurants, so a Klamath weekend can be a budget bargain, especially if your purpose is hiking and photography, perhaps with an additional canoe paddle through the marshes to get closer to some of the bird life.

Around town When I visited the Klamath Basin, I first took time to explore the town of Klamath Falls before heading out into the refuges. And yes, there are “falls” ... although Central Oregon visitors shouldn’t expect to see anything on the level of Dillon or Benham falls.

The falls at Klamath are little more than whitewater rapids.

They cascade below a small PacifiCorp hydroelectric dam on the milelong Link River, which flows from Upper Klamath Lake into Lake Ewauna. The best place to view them is from a riverside trail between Moore Park, on Upper Klamath, and the Favell Museum, on the west side of downtown.

The Favell is a worthy highlight of a visit to Klamath Falls. It’s not a particularly large museum, but its collections of Western art and American Indian artifacts are world-class. Within the wagon wheel-shaped building are 60,000 mounted spearpoints and arrowheads (one of them chipped from a Nevada fire opal), colorful clothing and intricate basketry from various Great Basin and Northwest Coast tribes.

The exhibits of Americana include original paintings by Charles M. Russell (“The Scouts,” 1902) and Edgar S. Paxson (“Bound for Buffalo Country,” 1899) as well as dozens of other paintings and bronze sculptures. Wood carvings

by Jerry Dollar and miniature dioramas by Ray Anderson encourage second looks.

The Favell is one of three museums in downtown Klamath Falls. And that doesn’t include the exhibit of “Pelicans on Parade” at the city’s new South Portal Visitor Center, a block south of the Favell Museum on Riverside Drive. Sixteen identical winged sculptures by avian artisan Stefan Savides have been painted by local artists with Southern Oregon scenes.

They are being auctioned to benefit Klamath environmental and educational groups.

Savides has also sculpted a large bronze pelican that stands near Veterans Memorial Park, on the shore of Lake Ewauna (pronounced eh-WA-na) at the edge of downtown, across the Link River mouth from the Favell Museum. A large lumber mill once dominated the north shore of this lake, which has now been taken over by bird life and strong-armed athletes. Flocks of white-fronted geese and American coots cluster around the Jim Kerr Crew House on the lakeshore of the urban park.

Exploring ‘Linkville’ When Klamath Falls was founded in 1867, it was known as “Linkville.” It retained that name for a quarter-century and was a key U.S. Army base during the Modoc War of 1872-73. Few buildings remain from that era, but downtown retains a unique architectural flair.

An “Old Town Tour Guide” brochure published by the local tourist office is a good basis for a one-mile walk along Main Street. Start opposite Veterans Park at the Baldwin Hotel, built in 1906 by a tinsmith and hardware store owner who became

Thousands of Ross’s and snow geese form an island in Lower Klamath National Wildlife Refuge in the shadow of Mount Hebron. Established by President Theodore Roosevelt in 1908, Lower Klamath was the nation’s first reserve set aside specifically for waterfowl. a senator. I peered through the windows to see the historic displays, but this museum is open only during the summer season.

The modern Klamath County Courthouse and classical Courthouse Annex face each other across Main Street between Third and Fourth streets. The Beaux Arts-style City Hall is a couple of blocks south, on Fifth Street. Also of special note are the stunning Art Deco-style 1930 First Interstate Bank Building at 601 Main St.; the Italian Renaissance-style 1927 Williams Building at 724 Main St.; the Gothic Revival-style 1929 Oregon Bank Building at 905 Main St.; and the Egyptian Revival-style 1929 Balsiger Ford Building at Main and Esplanade streets.

But the most memorable building in downtown Klamath Falls is the Ross Ragland Theater, a block and a half north of Main Street at 218 N. Seventh St. Built as the Esquire Theatre in 1940 in pure Art Deco style, its threetiered tower rises high over a marquee that announces visits by professional artists.

At the east end of downtown is the Klamath County Museum.

Built as a National Guard armory in 1935, the building now houses one of the better local historical museums in the Pacific Northwest. A new interactive forestry exhibit, emphasizing shared recreational and industrial use, is a highlight. Also unforgettable are magazine illustrations of Modoc Indian leader Captain Jack and his 19th-century war against the U.S. cavalry, and numerous antique wagons from the early days of motorized transportation.

Kingsley Field, on the south side of Klamath Falls, is notable as a training base for pilots flying the F-15 Eagle. The Oregon Air National Guard’s 173rd Fighter Wing shares the field with SkyWest Airlines, whose commercial flights connect Klamath with San Francisco and Portland. Casual visitors are not welcome at Kingsley Field, but the F-15s and their trailing roars can be seen high in the Klamath skies on numerous occasions almost every day.

Back to the birds Personally, I get more thrill from watching birds in flight than I do from airplanes. So it was with anticipation and delight that I set out one morning on the Klamath Basin Birding Trail with Jim Carpenter, an environmental consultant and wetlands restoration expert who helped to establish the trail.

The Klamath Basin Birding Trail runs south from Diamond Lake through Klamath County, and into two adjacent California counties. In all, it travels about 300 miles of road and features 47 separate birding sites. On this particular morning, Carpenter and I focused on two large refuges just south of Stateline Road, the Lower Klamath and Tule Lake preserves.

“Water is the defining issue of our times,” Carpenter told me.

“Our hope is that, in the Klamath Basin, we can set up a model for collaboration between farmers and environmentalists that can be exported.”

The Klamath Basin, he explained, once had wetlands much larger than what can be seen today. Beginning about 1905, ranchers pumped water from the wetlands to irrigate their crops and livestock pastures, eventually reducing the area covered by water to almost 20 percent of its original extent. The reclamation of these lands for agricultural development took a serious toll on wildlife habitat.

Today, however, the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service has been able to integrate sustainable agriculture with habitat protection through what it calls “walking wetlands.” This unique crop-rotation program alternately floods farmland and dries adjacent marshes, which quickly become extremely fertile without the use of fertilizers or chemicals. This is an integral part of what we saw in Lower Klamath and Tule Lake.

“The farming community is really starting to embrace sustainability and other essentials of the environmental movement,” Carpenter said. “In recent years,

the adversarial relationship has largely dissipated.”

In both refuges, we saw thousands of snow geese gathered in the waters of the shallow lakes.

We saw mergansers and canvasbacks, buffleheads and teals, grebes and egrets.

Downtown Klamath Falls spreads along the north shore of Lake Ewauna. Established in 1867 and originally known as “Linkville,” Klamath Falls is the largest city in south central Oregon, with a population of about 21,000.

From previous page Twice, ringneck pheasants flushed from among the bulrushes. A kestrel and a large redtailed hawk swooped in search of prey. Red-winged blackbirds whistled, and marsh wrens tittered in the reeds.

“We have one of the most fantastic natural environments in the world,” Carpenter said.

“Eighty percent of the Pacific Flyway comes right over these refuges. At times, there are millions of birds on these lakes. It’s a gift from God. You just can’t make that happen.”

Carpenter and his wife, Stephanie, have a home on the Link River just below its outlet from Upper Klamath Lake. As “Birding & Boating” outfitters, they offer lodging in their sailboat or a nearby boathouse, as well as kayak rentals and guided fishing trips. And they make bird-watching a priority, especially in the spring, when mating grebes engage in their remarkable courtship dance, racing side by side across the water’s surface.

U p p e r K la m a t h L a k e Rather than returning to Bend via U.S. Highway 97, the most direct route from Klamath Falls, I took the long way around Upper Klamath Lake. Lakeshore Drive leads west across the Link River to Oregon state Highway 140, passing the Running Y Ranch Resort and the Rocky Point community. From here, the well-kept West Side Road branches north, past Upper Klamath National Wildlife Refuge, to Fort Klamath, the southern entrance to Crater Lake National Park.

The Running Y was built by Jeld-Wen in 1998 as a Pronghorn-style residential resort, with a golf course designed by Arnold Palmer. Covering 3,600 acres, the Running Y offers canoeing on the lake, riding from a central stables and skating at an ice arena, and it bills itself as the only destination resort in Southern Oregon. There are 83 rooms in a handsome lodge built on a ridge overlooking the golf course and wetlands.

When I stopped in for a bite of lunch, however, I learned that the resort has closed its fine-dining Ranch House restaurant, and a resort employee told me there were no plans to reopen it in 2010. That severely limits meal options for lodge guests, who must now plan to drive the halfdozen miles back to Klamath Falls for most of their dining.

Farther up the lakeshore is the Rocky Point Resort, which strikes me as an ideal waystation for bird-watchers. Motorboats, sailboats, canoes and kayaks are available for rent, for as little as $20 an hour or $50 per day. Miles of marshy channels fringe the rustic resort, which has a variety of cabins and guest rooms along with a restaurant open weekends until Memorial Day weekend, then five days a week in summer.

Because the west side of Upper Klamath Lake rests at the foot of 8,036-foot Pelican Butte, nature

The Art Deco tower atop Klamath Falls’ Ross Ragland Theater towers above a marquee announcing visits by internationally known musicians and actors. Originally the Esquire Theater, the structure was designed and built in 1940 by architect William B. David.

A pair of American white pelicans rest on a reef in the middle of the Link River, just below its outflow from Upper Klamath Lake.

Pelicans feed primarily on fish, though the carnivores have been known to make a meal of the helpless offspring of other waterfowl.

Moser said the Lonesome Duck, popularly known as a trout-fishing resort, actually draws higher numbers of birders until late May, when the fishing season begins in earnest.

“Spring is a great time for birding,” Moser told me. “Things got started with the warm spell we had a few weeks ago. This morning I saw a lark sparrow and a Lincoln’s sparrow. While I was eating lunch, I saw a bald eagle fly low over the river with a small animal in its talons. Up on the Wood River, near Fort

lovers find this an area where Cascade Mountain and Klamath Basin species intermingle. I saw two bald eagles sitting in ponderosa pines at Rocky Point, and on past occasions I’ve even had to slow my car as a black bear crossed West Side Road ahead of me.

An expert on birding around the north end of Upper Klamath

Lake, near Fort Klamath and down to Modoc Point, is Marshal Moser. A wildlife ecologist on the staff of the Lonesome Duck Resort, on the Williamson River near Chiloquin, Moser has been granted special permission by the Nature Conservancy to take visitors into a private refuge between Upper Klamath and Agency Lakes.

Klamath, if you can catch that during spring migration, it’s one of the best places in the entire Klamath Basin.”

That sounds wonderful, but can I see a pelican there?

WILLS/PROBATE/ESTATE

REAL ESTATE I understand there is a new law that is supposed to help distressed property owners to sell their property for less than what is owed on the mortgage loan and avoid foreclosure and liability for the balance owed on the mortgage. We have several rental properties that are “upside down.” Will this new law help us get out of our financial mess?

Probably not. The Home Affordable Foreclosure Alternatives program (known as HAFA) went into effect on April 5, 2010.

HAFA is intended to help distressed homeowners sell their homes to avoid foreclosure, even if the sales price is not enough to pay off their existing mortgage loans. HAFA offers financial incentives to lenders to cooperate with homeowners in accommodating a “short sale” of their property and to forgive the balance owing on the mortgage loan. There are a number of eligibility requirements a property owner must satisfy to take advantage of HAFA. One requirement is that HAFA only applies to a property that is the borrower’s principal residence. It therefore would not apply to commercial or investment properties such as your rentals.

ELDER LAW Four years ago, my mother’s grandson took her to her bank and had her write a check for him for $23,000 made out to cash. He used it for a down payment on his house. I knew nothing about it then. Now my 90 year old mother is in assisted living and has only Social Security to live on and my sister and I are using our retirement savings to support her there. The grandson refuses to repay the “loan” and mom doesn’t want to upset anyone to pursue this. Is there any way to retrieve this money to help pay for mom’s expenses so my sister and I don’t go broke helping her?

Lisa Bertalan Yes. This is the classic scenario of financial elder abuse.

Attorney at Law I urge you and your sister to petition the Court to be appointed your mother’s conservator and then pursue a Hendrix, Brinch & civil action for recovery of the funds under the Oregon Bertalan, L.L.P. Elder Abuse Prevention Act. I also suggest you call the local ATTORNEYS AT LAW Elder Abuse Hotline run by the Office of Seniors and Persons with Disabilities to report the abuse. The transfer of funds is 716 NW Harriman St. problematic as it may disqualify your mother from receiving Bend, OR 97701 Medicaid assistance to pay for her care once her other funds run out or if her income is insufficient to pay for such care.

Should single women stock up on Chanel No. 5?

While researching the season’s newest scents — shown in the accompanying photos — I came across a story in The New York Daily News that said women who wear Chanel No. 5 have better luck with men than women who don’t wear the classic scent.

And that one in 10 women reported meeting the man of her dreams while wearing Chanel No. 5.

The story went on to list the scents with the most man-attracting power, the world’s sexiest scents, based on a 2009 poll of 3,000 women for Superdrug, a British fragrance retailer.

Besides Chanel No. 5, the Top 10 include, in order: Be Delicious by DKNY; Ghost by Ghost; Eternity for Women by Calvin Klein; Hugo Woman by Hugo; Classique by Jean Paul Gaultier; Cool Water by Davidoff; Angel by Thierry Mugler; Anais Anais by Cacharel and Obsession by Calvin Klein.

I’ve dabbled with two of these perfumes — Chanel No. 5 (it was a gift); and Anais Anais, a college favorite.

I am saddened to report that neither got me any attention from men. I am sometimes sensitive to smells. I gave up Chanel No. 5 because it made me feel queasy. I gave up Anais Anais after about a year for the same reason — although I like it on other people.

That’s when I started thinking: Maybe it’s not so much the scent of perfume that attracts men to women.

Maybe it’s the way women feel and carry themselves when they’re wearing the perfume.

Etiquette: Helping with the door B y Nara Schoenberg Chicago Tribune

Who opens the door for whom?

Even if your mom told you — and you actually paid attention — the old rules are evolving. Sue Fox, author of “Etiquette for Dummies,” offers advice for the modern era.

Scenario No. 1: The standard door M a n and woman: Traditionally, the man would open the door for the woman, and that’s still fine to do, but no longer widely expected. Today, the one who arrives at the door first opens it and holds it open for the other person — regardless of gender.

Man and man: Again, the person who arrives first opens the door and holds it, unless one of the men happens to be elderly or his arms are full of packages.

Woman and woman: Same as man-man.

Man who insists on opening the door for a woman: The woman may think the courtesy is dated, but it’s still a courtesy. She should say “thank-you.”

Elderly person and younger adult: The more capable person opens the door.

Boss and employee: Rank does apply here. Junior executives open doors for senior executives. If your boss happens to reach for the door ahead of you, be gracious, don’t fight over who gets to open door and remember to say “thank-you.”

Scenario No. 2: The revolving door Man and woman: Traditionally, a man would let the woman enter a moving door first, enter

the section behind her, and push to keep the door moving. If the revolving door wasn’t moving, he would enter first and push.

Today, whoever arrives first enters first and pushes. If a door is heavy, the man may want to go first and push for the woman.

But it’s fine for women to go first.

Man and man: Whoever arrives first goes first. If you arrive together, the man who is younger would let the elder man go first, unless the elder man needed assistance with the door.

Woman and woman: Whoever arrives first goes first. If one of the women is elderly and needs assistance, the younger woman goes first to push the door.

Adult and child: The adult goes first.

Boss and employee: The higher-ranking person enters first.

Celebrate 63 years of marriage!

Married April 16, 1947 in a civil ceremony at the Bend Courthouse, they stayed in Bend and raised their twins, Ron of Bend, and Ronda of Anchorage, AK.

When it comes to attracting our future soulmates, it may be more about how perfume makes us feel than the scent itself.

Kay Caccamo, who is 40 and lives in Canton, Mich., wears Happy by Clinique when she goes out in the evenings. It makes her feel polished. “If I’m going to get dressed up, it’s part of your accessories,” she said.

Jill Wright, 45, of Wixom, Mich., discovered her signature scent, Innocence by Chloe, during a 1998 trip to France with girlfriends.

“One of the girls on our trip wore it, and I smelled it and was, ‘Oh, I love that. Tell me the name.’

And we went to the Sephora on the Champs-Elysees. It reminds me of the trip. We did so much, we went to Giverny. I went down to Nice. So I think when I put it on, it kind of takes me back.”

She loves Innocence so much that she stocked up on the perfume after it was discontinued.

She has about 1½ bottles left.

“I was wearing it, and then I met my husband,” she said.

“Sometimes I’ll wear it, and he’ll say, ‘Oh, that reminds me of when we were dating.’”

Maybe that’s the real magic of perfume — that its scent makes us feel special, that it reminds us of happy times.

And there’s a certain confidence that comes from feeling special. Men I know find confident women attractive.

Women in rock

Female rockers know fashion is part of the Empowerment entertainment is good, but

By Elana Ashanti Jefferson The Denver Post

After taking in the feathered bangs, leather jeans, polyester lapels, “knock me down” platforms and array of gold lame in the ’70sera biopic “The Runaways,” viewers are more likely to experience a fashion flashback.

The film, based on a book by one-time Joan Jett sidekick Cheri Currie, illustrates the then-budding romance between fashion and image in rock ’n’ roll — a relationship that became so intense that today’s pop rockers are as much about product placement as they are about radio play.

“Nowadays, there would be a lot of people having a lot of input into how (artists) dress,” said Carol Beadle. Speaking last week from Los Angeles, the costume designer for “The Runaways” added that the style most characterized by the band, considered hard rock’s first significant allgirl group, was the same glossand-glam look of that era’s other teen idols — think Alice Cooper, David Bowie, Aerosmith and, especially apropos, Suzi Quatro.

“Fashion-wise, I don’t know that (The Runaways) made a big impact,” said Beadle, who cut her teeth selling vintage clothes before going to fashion school and then stumbling into music-video styling. Her triumphs include award-winning videos for Marilyn Manson’s “Beautiful People” and The Killers’ “Mr. Brightside.”

For her, the grand achievement of the film was finding enough vintage clothing to outfit an array of glammed-up characters. There were about 160 costume changes for the five-girl band alone. Her inspirations were the music rags and teen magazines of that era.

The Runaways’ look was a cog in the wheel of a fashion-music machine that became most powerful in the 1980s, according to pop-culture historian Scott Stoddart.

Before Madonna The group inhabited a precarious time in fashion (and social) history, he said, speaking from New York’s Fashion Institute of Technology. They came before cocktail culture and youth rebellion; during disco and gypsy rock; and before Madonna crawled across our screens in a lace bustier.

“Now you see a Beyoncé putting on a dress to set herself up as a movie star,” said Stoddart, dean of the school of liberal arts at the fashion school. The Runaways — both the band and the film — are finding an audience now because they harken back to a time when commercialism had not yet swallowed mainstream music.

Today, rockers from the A-list to the neighborhood garage bands are all too aware of how fashion shapes image and audience.

“I wouldn’t be taken seriously in Dockers and a pullover,” said Karen Cuda. The Denver-based rocker who plays with the metal band Nashville Pussy spent years on the Denver music scene, most prominently as part of camped-up throwback rock trio Hemi Cuda.

Go-to pieces With Nashville Pussy, Cuda travels about nine months of the year. Keeping up the look of a hard-rock goddess means recirculating the same high-impact fashions from a single suitcase.

Long, layered necklaces dripping with skull and bullet charms, a fur shrug, leather pants and pink Doc Martens are among her go-to pieces.

“Fashion is part of the entertainment,” said Cuda, 34. “I like fuzzy, shiny things,” she said.

“And I spend a lot of money on eyelashes.”

Kyle Simmons, 21, of Denver’s Speakeasy Tiger, views fashion as part of a band’s total package.

“I love to be sexy and hard-core at the same time, kind of untouchable,” she said. “When people pay $35, they don’t want to see you in what you wear to the grocery store.”

Brandi Shigley, 34, is the face of the Denver electro-pop band b.sous. Shigley, who graduated from sewing and selling B. Shigley Handbags to launching Fashion Denver, a company devoted to promoting Colorado design talent, plucks her looks from the local fashion pool. Her personal style touchstones range from Pippi Longstocking to Cyndi Lauper.

“I love to wear really short things that are fun and playful ... lots of color and hair accessories,” she said. “That’s who I am in real life.”

rock ‘n’ roll is their thing

By Ricardo Baca The Denver Post

The Runaways were unquestionably influential in introducing the idea of women playing rock ’n’ roll to a mass audience. The gals knew how to get the crowds going.

But more than 30 years after that all-female group broke up, are we surprised there aren’t more women in rock bands? As portrayed in the film “The Runaways,” the quartet looked like the start of something big.

“I don’t know that I’m surprised about that,” Kitty Vincent, singer for Denver rock act Le Divorce, said last week. “I’d like to see more of us out there, but rock ’n’ roll has always been a male-dominated field.

It’s something that women are slowly and strongly infiltrating. And there are way more of us women in Denver bands than there were 10 years ago, so that’s a good sign.”

Girls Rock camps empower tweens “Women in rock” has become something of a buzz phrase in this post-riot-girl age when many American cities offer Girls Rock camps meant to empower girls through education, songwriting and performance. Denver artist Brandi Shigley was approached by Girls Rock Denver last summer to perform with her band, called b.sous, at a benefit for the nonprofit. Being a part of that process had an undeniable impact on her.

“When I went to the actual Girls Rock concert, I was in tears seeing these young girls shine on stage and have so much fun,” said Shigley, also the president of Fashion Denver. “It’s an empowering organization, and when you’re ages 7 to 11 and have some fun role models showing you that you can do it, that’s huge.

Besides my mom and music class, it would have been fun to have somebody from an outside source come in and show me how to rock.”

When Shigley isn’t working with fabric, she’s working with music. Her b.sous is a retro-pop outfit that, armed with songs such as “Yes It’s True, I Love You” and “Cuteness Overload,” is a precious creation. Her band is an ode to 1960s French pop that benefits from Shigley’s coy lead vocals and playful carnival melodies.

She says she owes as much to Aileen Quinn (who played the titular character in the film musical “Annie”) as she does Blondie singer Deborah Harry, but her biggest female musical influence was her adoptive mother.

“The way my mom bonded with me throughout my childhood was by playing these cool folk songs on her acoustic guitar,” Shigley remembered. “She would sing me lullabies and fun little Irish songs. It was huge.”

Some Denver musicians define themselves musically via their femininity, while others tend to stray from talking about gender when it comes to their rock ’n’ roll lifestyle.

Karen Cuda is possibly the hardest-rocking woman to call Colorado home. Cuda has been playing with the Atlanta-based rock band Nashville Pussy for years now. And while the band’s fans might notice she and guitarist Ruyter Suys’ sexy outfits and sweaty skin, it’s all about the playing.

Chicks who rock “Sure, that stuff gets mentioned,” Cuda said recently while on a nine-week tour.

“But it’s more about the women in the band playing their (butts) off. It’s not about us being chicks — it’s about chicks who can rock.”

Denver musician Kyle Simmons has grown into a chick who rocks, but she started out as more of a singer-songwriter — a performer who got so tired of surprising venue operators and audiences (by her apparently incongruous name/gender) that she named her first act A Girl Named Kyle. Now Simmons rocks out as the

Denver rocker Kyle Simmons, of Speakeasy Tiger, started out in the band A Girl Named Kyle.

“And as I’ve grown older, I’ve realized that being a female in the industry is a special thing.” frontwoman for electro-rock act Speakeasy Tiger, which has eight Warped Tour dates lined up for June and July.

“For me, I’ve always wanted to play with the boys,” Simmons said. “I never wanted being a female to pull me down at all. And as I’ve grown older, I’ve realized that being a female in the industry is a special thing.

“We’re in an industry that’s ruled by the boys. There are 10 times more bands that are all boys and led by boy lead singers, and booked by boy booking agents and guided by boy managers. I wanted to show people that I can be just as harsh and loud and aggressive and in-yourface as the boys.”

Would Simmons mind if, while playing the Warped Tour this summer, she lured a few more fans over to her stage because fans were tired of the dude-heavy lineup at the festival?

“That’d be great, and I really hope it gives us an advantage there,” she said.

Early influences Many of these lady rockers mentioned names like Patti Smith and Janis Joplin as inspirations. Le Divorce’s Vincent said that Joan Jett of the Runaways has always been a large part of her world, and that she plans on seeing the biopic on the band.

“My band members don’t see me as their girl singer,” Vincent said. “They see me as a band member. Sure, there are people out there who see us as a band with a girl singer. But we don’t genderize what we do.”

Band Continued from C1 In that respect, she’s correct.

The winner of Last Band Standing is set to receive a prize package worth about $30,000, including a 15-passenger van ideal for going on tour, plus a deal with Topsecret Records in Eugene, a Gibson-brand guitar, and other gear and goods from Rockstar Energy Drink and Eugene’s Ninkasi Brewing. (Ninkasi, Rockstar and Gibson are the event’s major sponsors.)

There are prizes for second, third and fourth place, too. But it’s likely the lure of the tour van that attracted nearly 100 entries in three weeks from artists across the Pacific Northwest, about 75 percent of whom are from Central Oregon, Meyer said. A total of 38 were chosen to compete in Last Band Standing, including several of the region’s best and most popular acts.

Event organizers chose the final 38 using criteria such as quality of songs and lyrics, range of styles, overall presentation and look, location, and what Meyer called “emerging,” which means a young, up-and-coming band scored higher than, say, a band that’s been slogging it out in local bars for 20 years.

So Last Band Standing is a showcase of local talent, but it’s also a competition. And the goal of the event is to help whoever comes out on top.

“Is it a battle? Sure. But really, we have to go through some sort of process because of the prize,” Meyer said. “We want to launch somebody out of Central Oregon that needs help, and with the network of partners that we have, we’re able to do that.”

Beginning at 8 p.m. Thursday, the 38 bands will perform in groups of four and five every Thursday night at Boondocks for eight weeks. After each round, the audience will vote on its favorite act of the night, and that act will move on to the semifinals, to be held June 17 and 24.

“We want to launch somebody out of Central Oregon that needs help, and with the network of partners that we have, we’re able to do that.”

— Jennifer Meyer, marketing specialist for Combined Communications in Bend

To ensure Last Band Standing is more than just a popularity contest, Meyer and her partners will also have the option to hand out wild cards to bands that they believe deserve to move on, but that don’t garner the most votes on a given night.

“I wanted to put a series of events together that all artists could get behind, so that’s where we decided to reserve the right to ‘wild card’ somebody through if we feel they meet the criteria,” Meyer said. “So it means that the band doesn’t necessarily have to be the most popular, it just means they have to have talent.”

Right now, Meyer plans for 12 bands to compete in the semifinals, which means she’s holding four wild cards, although she noted that the rules can change. The finals are scheduled for July 1.

Last Band Standing was started several years ago by the popular music festival Lollapalooza, and Meyer started a local version five years ago when she worked in Eugene. Last year, she expanded the event into Medford, and this year, it kicks off in Boise, Idaho and Bend.

Meyer is originally from California, a self-described “backstage music kid” who grew up in show business. Last year, she decided to leave Eugene to get out of corporate radio and get back to a sunnier climate. Once she arrived in Central Oregon, she was impressed by the amount

of local musical talent that lives here, she said.

Working for Combined — which owns the Clear 101.7, The Twins 98.3 and The Mountain 99.7 radio stations, among other media — has given her an opportunity to do what she loves, as well as the freedom to put time into an event like Last Band Standing, she said.

“Once you get music in your blood, it’s really hard to shake it off,” she said. “I want to protect the integrity of the artists and how they view this showcase. I want people to know that we are doing this for the music.”

BY JACQUELINE BIGAR HAPPY BIRTHDAY for Sunday, April 18, 2010: This year, plunge into the unknown. You won’t always be able to firm up agreements or conversations. Learn to build your inner strength and selfconfidence. No matter what, you will land on your feet like a cat with nine lives. Communication needs to be worked on. Don’t buy a new car or computer this year, if possible. If you are single, check out a new person with care. Someone you hook up with might be fascinating but unavailable. Proceed with care. If you are attached, the two of you learn to relish your time alone together! GEMINI is always fun.

The Stars Show the Kind of Day You’ll Have: 5-Dynamic; 4-Positive; 3-Average; 2So-so; 1-Difficult ARIES (March 21-April 19) HHHH A talk might make you feel as if you never had a recent conversation. Give the situation space. If the matter is very important, in the future remember to write down agreements.

Make plans with a dear friend, who at times can be flaky.

Tonight: Think “tomorrow.”

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) HHH You might be feeling a little put out financially, yet you don’t want to disappoint someone you really care about. Only you can decide how much flex you might have in this situation.

Tonight: Visit with a friend, even if it’s just by phone.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) HHHHH You might notice an undercurrent. Your ruler went retrograde in the wee hours. Use care with conversations. Note what doesn’t work, and consider how you could have prevented the problem. Respond to a family member’s gesture. Tonight: Whatever makes you smile.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) HH You could be nervous or restless. Ask a friend or loved one to take a drive with you.

Some of you might simply enjoy going to the gym or being distracted at the movies. Tonight: Return a long-distance call.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) HHHHH Stay on course, even if a friend might change his or her mind. On the other hand, plans easily could change. Sometimes you have a very sturdy vision of what needs to happen. Right now, opt to flex. Tonight: Try not to put someone on a pedestal.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) HHHHH You might be right that someone isn’t intentionally being difficult. Could the base of the problem be a misunderstanding? If this situation has not happened yet, it probably will in the near future.

Tonight: Count on a late night.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) HHHHH Detaching and seeing the big picture might be more trying than you anticipated. How about letting the whole issue go, and going off to the theater?

Entertain your mind to detach.

Your creativity will flourish.

Tonight: So much energy.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) HHHH You might wonder why you are pursuing the present course.

If need be, pull back and think about what you want. You also need to honor your needs. You are an all-or-nothing sign. Are you giving too much of yourself away?

Tonight: Togetherness works.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) HHHH Shake your head about others all you want. Those around you could have a flaky attack anywhere from now to the next few weeks. Realize that you might not have as much control over these people as you would like! Tonight: Follow the music.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) HHH You could be wobbling trying to find your grounding.

If you are looking to others for stability, forget it. A call or visit could overwhelm you. Try not to react defensively. Tonight: Get a head start on tomorrow.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) HHHH Realize the impact you have both on a child and a loved one. You might be willing to take a risk. Your best bet is to nix this idea. The results could be bad, and then the problem could keep amplifying. Tonight: Be carefree. Forget about tomorrow.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) HHHH You might feel that someone is pushing too hard without justification. Know when to stop reacting. You simply might be seeing weaknesses that previously were masked. Tonight: Visit with an older relative. © 2010 by King Features Syndicate

Jack Kirby’s heroes in waiting

Artwork by Jack Kirby titled “Roxie/ Bad Guys” created in the 1980s that has never been distributed. A partnership between Ruby-Spears Productions founders, Joe Ruby and Ken Spears, and Sid and Marty Krofft, is planning to revive unseen Kirby characters in as many media as possible.

By Dave Itzkoff New York Times News Service

The characteristics of a Jack Kirby illustration are easily distinguished: extravagantly costumed heroes and nefarious villains locked in titanic struggles; foreshortened fists, feet and muscles that seem to pop off the page; intricately detailed settings meant to conjure the ancient past or suggest the distant future.

His style made Kirby a soughtafter talent at DC Comics, now a piece of the Time Warner empire, and at Marvel Comics, a recent acquisition of the Walt Disney Co. At Marvel in particular, he played a crucial role in creating superheroes like the Fantastic Four, the Hulk and the X-Men — work that is now at the center of a property dispute between the heirs of Kirby, who died in 1994, and Marvel and Disney.

Those same signature design elements are also vividly on display in hundreds of illustrations for never-produced cartoon shows and toy lines that Kirby created in the 1980s for the animation studio Ruby-Spears Productions — work that, thus far, does not belong to any of the media conglomerates and that has been seen by few people.

Now, a partnership between that studio’s founders, Joe Ruby and Ken Spears, and Sid and Marty Krofft, the longtime children’s entertainment producers (“H.R. Pufnstuf,” “Land of the Lost”), is planning to revive these unseen Kirby characters in as many forms as possible.

It’s a proposition that faces challenges as the studios scour the landscape for the next comic book or cartoon character they can transform into a franchise, but also one that has piqued the interest of some powerful Hollywood players. “I love comic books, but this is a treasure,” said Ariel Emanuel, the chief executive of the William Morris Endeavor Entertainment agency, who is representing these Kirby works for Ruby-Spears and the Kroffts. “It’s like a boat sank at the bottom of the ocean, and all of a sudden you’ve uncovered it.”

Kirby started working for California’s animation studios in the late 1970s after becoming disillusioned with comic-book companies in New York that he said he felt did not give him fair payment or credit for his creations. After a stint with HannaBarbera, he was hired by RubySpears in 1980, first to design characters and backgrounds for its Saturday morning action series “Thundarr the Barbarian,” then to draw presentation boards for new projects.

“Many times, he didn’t have enough to do, or there weren’t enough assignments,” Spears said.

“He was such a prolific guy that he would, on his own, just start sketching out some thoughts.”

Among the far-flung, unrealized projects that Kirby helped create or contributed to were “Roxie’s Raiders,” an Indiana Jones-style serial about a female adventurer and her allies; “Golden Shield,” about an ancient Mayan hero seeking to save Earth

From left: Sid Krofft, Marty Krofft, Joe Ruby and Ken Spears are surrounded by artwork by Jack Kirby in Los Angeles on March 17. in the apocalyptic year 2012; and “The Gargoids,” about scientists who gain superpowers after being infected by an alien virus.

Though none of these series made it past the planning stages, Kirby was glad to have gainful employment, health insurance for himself and his family and a job where he felt he was respected.

“He’d walk in, and all the young animators would fuss over him and salute him,” said Mark Evanier, the author of “Kirby: King of Comics” and a television writer who has worked for RubySpears and the Kroffts. “It was fun for him to go in there, whereas in the past, when he’d gone to a comic-book company’s offices, it was a contentious atmosphere and a lot of emotional baggage.”

Kirby’s characters For more than two decades, the work that Kirby created for RubySpears — an estimated 600 production boards — remained boxed up and unseen while the studio was unsure what to do with it.

“I’m going, ‘Joe, why don’t we just take this stuff and give it away?’” Spears said. But Ruby, he said, was “absolutely insistent” that “someday, someplace, somebody’s going to want this stuff.”

Last fall, Ruby and Spears brought the properties to the Kroffts, who have begun adapting their vintage television shows into feature films, and who also saw potential in the Kirby material.

“This is a 20-year business for somebody,” Marty Krofft said.

Unlike the work that Kirby did for Marvel Comics — whose ownership may be decided by a lawsuit filed last month against Marvel and Disney by the artists’ heirs, who seek the copyrights to many of his lucrative Marvel characters — the control of his animation art is more clear-cut.

During his time with RubySpears, Kirby was employed under a work-for-hire agreement, which means that his work is the property of the studio. Marc Toberoff, a copyright lawyer representing the Kirbys in their suit against Marvel and Disney, said that he reviewed Kirby’s agreement with Ruby-Spears and that he believed any art produced under it was work for hire.

This affords Ruby-Spears and the Kroffts a wide berth to turn their Kirby properties into movies, television shows, comics, videos games and more — all of which they intend to pursue.

They will face steep competi-

tion in a marketplace already saturated with established (and notso-established) comics characters that major media companies have spent years snapping up for their own development purposes. Compared with decades-old

franchises like Batman, Superman and Captain America (the last of which Kirby created with Joe Simon), unknown properties like Roxie’s Raiders and Golden Shield have only Kirby’s pedigree to distinguish them.

For Emanuel, that is more than enough to get behind this cache of rediscovered material.

“You can’t go wrong,” he said.

“Just close your eyes and throw a dart. And I only saw 5 percent of it.”

BASKETBALL Missouri coach not coming to Oregon Missouri men’s basketball coach Mike Anderson will remain in his current job and will not take over the head job at Oregon, according to a report at ESPN.com.

Oregon had sought permission to discuss its vacancy with Anderson on Thursday. The Ducks have been in search of a coach since firing Ernie Kent after the season.

Anderson had just signed a new seven-year contract with Missouri last year and makes about $1.5 million a year.

Hard-luck Blazers try to find some playoff magic vs. Suns

By Bob Baum The Associated Press

PHOENIX — Even without Brandon Roy, the Portland Trail Blazers could be no pushover for Phoenix. No team in the NBA has been better at disrupting the free-flowing offense of the Suns this season.

In three games against the Blazers, two of them won by Portland, the Suns averaged 98 points, a dozen below Phoenix’s league-best season average of 110.2.

BASEBALL

“I think overall they’re the best defensive team in the league,” Suns coach Alvin Gentry said. “If you look at the way they play and how they disrupt what you’re trying to do offensively, they do a great job.

They’re real active, they play a real physical game.

They almost put you in a situation where you’ve got to grind out the game.”

The favored Suns say they are taking nothing for granted as they prepare for tonight’s Game 1 of their first-round playoff series.

No-hitter, 20-inning game on Saturday A 20-inning game would usually be the most newsworthy event on a normal day in Major League Baseball. But not this Saturday.

Ubaldo Jimenez forever put his stamp on Colorado Rockies history Saturday night, throwing the franchise’s first no-hitter in a 4-0 victory over the Braves in Atlanta. He finished with 128 pitches, 72 strikes, his night ending with a bear hug from Todd Helton after Brian McCann grounded out to second base on a 1-2 count.

He was effectively wild.

Through his first 83 pitches, he had more balls (42) than strikes (41). It wasn’t until he fanned pinch-hitter Eric Hinske in the eighth inning that he had more strikeouts (seven) than walks (six).

Beginning in the sixth inning, Jimenez threw exclusively from the stretch. He felt like he had better command.

“That was domination,” Atlanta’s Chipper Jones said.

“Only one ball came close to falling.”

Also on Saturday, the New York Mets outlasted the St. Louis Cardinals, 2-1, in 20 innings. Jose Reyes gave the Mets the lead in the top of the 20th with a sacrifice fly.

Neither team scored until the 19th inning. Francisco Rodriguez (1-0) got the win despite yielding the tying run in the 19th and starter Mike Pelfrey finished for his first career save in a game that included 19 pitchers and lasted 6 hours, 53 minutes.

Utilityman Joe Mather (0-1) took the loss after giving up both runs.

It was the longest game in the majors since Colorado beat San Diego 2-1 in 22 innings on April 17, 2008. It was the longest scoreless game in the majors since the Los Angeles Dodgers and Montreal Expos went 21 innings without a run on Aug. 23, 1989, according to STATS LLC.

Summit sweeps with pair of rallies Storm come back late to take two games from Mountain View Bulletin staff report

Mountain View’s Kylie Durre is greeted by teammate Whitney Bigby (14) after scoring against Summit in the fourth inning of the first game of a doubleheader Saturday at Summit High School.

Storm, Cougs split IMC doubleheader Summit and Mountain View combine for 30 runs in twin bill Bulletin staff report The hits just kept coming for Summit on Saturday in the Storm’s home softball doubleheader against Mountain View.

Summit, which entered Saturday’s series tied for fourth in the Intermountain Conference with Crook County, split the two games with the Cougars to move to 4-5 in league play, grabbing sole possession of fourth in the process. Mountain View remains in third place in the IMC after Saturday’s split.

The Storm (6-5 overall) won the opener 10-6 in large part because of their 16 hits. Mountain View (5-4 IMC, 8-6 overall) took the second game 9-5.

After topping the Cougars 11-9 in eight innings Thursday, Summit again came out on the offensive in game one, taking a 5-1 lead after the first inning. The Storm pounded out seven hits in the first, all singles.

Summit’s Mariah Defoe (4) connects with a pitch for a base hit during the second inning of the first game of a doubleheader against Mountain View Saturday.

The Storm saw the Cougars’ seventh-inning victory — and raised them one.

Two days after letting a 2-0 lead get away in the last inning for a 32 loss at Mountain View, Summit beat the Cougars twice Saturday with late rallies, scoring the winning run in its last turn at bat in both games.

The Storm swept the Intermountain Conference baseball doubleheader by scores of 8-7 and 6-5.

“Crazy series,” said Storm coach C.J. Colt after Saturday’s two dramatic finishes. “Every game came down to a walk-off hit.”

On Thursday, Zach Johnson’s two-run double in the bottom of the seventh inning won it for Mountain View. On Saturday at Summit, it was the Storm’s turn.

In the opener, Mountain View starter Alex Robinett struck out five batters over five innings of two-hit pitching as the Cougars built a 7-0 lead.

But Summit found an opening against Mountain View’s relief pitching, scoring four runs in the sixth inning and then four more in the seventh to win it. Konner Reddick stroked a two-out single to center field to bring Brennan Rooks racing home from second base. Rooks beat the throw to the plate and slid in safely with the winning run.

Reddick was three for four and Cody Absalon two for four in the first game for Summit. Johnson and Andrew Hester had two hits apiece for Mountain View.

In the second game, the Cougars led by scores of 1-0, 2-1, 3-2 and 52 before the Storm plated three runs in the bottom of the sixth for a 5-5 tie. The big hits in the inning were a two-out, two-run single by Kevin Hamann — Summit’s No. 9 batter — and Tyler Hasenoehrl’s game-tying RBI single.

FOOTBALL

NFL draft is ready to go prime time In a made-for-TV move, part of the draft will be broadcast on Thursday and Friday before ending on Saturday

By Dave Anderson New York Times News Service

No longer pro football’s off-season daytime soap opera, the NFL draft will have its premiere as a two-night primetime special this year. Under the elegant gold stage curtain of Radio City Music Hall, the 32 franchises will select more than 200 rookies over three days. Few will be instant starters, some will make the team. Many will disappear

during training camp.

Radio City is not a new location. The draft was there the past four years but always began on a Saturday. This time, the first round will start at 4:30 p.m. PDT on Thursday on ESPN and on the NFL Network, with sound effects supplied mostly, and loudly, by a rare species known as draftniks, usually clothed in team jerseys and admitted free — the best free event in sports’ era of high finance.

The second and third rounds of this 75th draft will be Friday night, and the remaining four rounds will begin Saturday morning.

Except for the television lights and enough computerized equipment to stock a Radio Shack, the draft hasn’t really changed.

S B Winter sports Bend’s Wadsworth to lead Canadian cross-country: Longtime Bend resident Justin Wadsworth has been named head coach of the Canadian national cross-country ski team, according to Cross Country Canada. CCC, the national governing body for cross-country skiing in Canada, reported Friday on its Web site (cccski.com) that the 41-year-old Wadsworth has replaced Inge Braten as coach of the Canadian cross-county team. Braten reportedly returned to his home in Norway after completing a one-year contract to lead the Canadian team through the 2010 Winter Olympics. Wadsworth, a three-time U.S. Olympic cross-country skier, is the husband of two-time Canadian Olympic medalist Beckie Scott.

Track and field • Eaton wins two sprints to help Ducks beat UCLA: Oregon’s Ashton Eaton, a senior from Bend, placed first in both the 100 meters (10.52 seconds) and the 200 meters (21.03 seconds) to help the Ducks defeat UCLA 92-71 in a men’s dual track meet Saturday at Hayward Field in Eugene.

Cycling • Contador takes lead in Vuelta de Castilla and Leon: Alberto Contador won the fourth stage of the Vuelta de Castilla and Leon and took the overall lead on Saturday in Ponferrada, Spain. The Astana rider completed the 9.4mile time trial around Ponferrada in 20 minutes, 30 seconds. He finished 33 seconds faster than Janez Brajkovic.

Igor Anton was third, 54 seconds back. Two-time Tour de France winner Contador took the overall lead from Anton, turning a 13-second overall deficit before the stage into a 41-second advantage.

• Volcano forces cyclists to miss Dutch race: Several top cyclists will miss today’s Amstel Gold race in the Netherlands because of the volcanic ash cloud disrupting flights across Europe. Alejandro Valverde, Carlos Sastre and Bradley Wiggins are unable to race because their flights to the Netherlands have been canceled. The withdrawals are a further blow to the one-day classic after Lance Armstrong and Fabian Cancellara decided not to race.

Power earns third straight IRL pole

By John Marshall The Associated Press

LONG BEACH, Calif. — Another race, another pole for Will Power.

The way he’s driving, another win could be just around the corner.

Powering his way through a bumpy, tight-turned course that left drivers breathless, Power earned his third straight Indy Racing League pole at the Grand Prix of Long Beach on Saturday.

A two-time winner already this season, Power bounced and burned rubber his way around the 11-turn, 1.968-mile temporary street course through downtown Long Beach in 1 minute, 9.3185 seconds to finish just ahead of Ryan Hunter-Reay.

Power has made it look so easy,

AUTO RACING: IRL his opponents are wondering if they’re ever going to catch him.

“He got a very good opportunity and he’s obviously a very good race car driver,” said Andretti Autosport’s Tony Kanaan, who qualified sixth. “When things are going your way, it goes your way. He’s been impressing everybody. He’s the guy we wake up every morning wondering how we’re going to beat him.”

What a ride it’s been for Power.

The 29-year-old Australian wedged his way in at Team Penske last season while Helio Castroneves went through his tax evasion case, driving well enough the team

gave him five more races. Power finished in the top 10 in every race, but a practice crash in Sonoma left him with a broken back and an uncertain future.

Impressed by Power’s prowess, Team Penske gave him a full-time ride for this season.

Tentative with his car’s setup as a part timer last year, Power has been more assertive in telling his crew what changes to make and the results have been remarkable.

Power won a soggy opener in Sao Paulo, Brazil, then made it two for two at St. Petersburg, taking the checkers after earning the pole.

Summit boys tennis player takes top spot at Jesuit invite Paxton Deuel leads Class 5A Storm to third-place finish in the tourney that featured some of Class 6A’s top teams Bulletin staff report BEAVERTON — Summit sophomore Paxton Deuel defeated the defending tournament champion Saturday to take first place in No. 1 singles at the Jesuit Invitational boys tennis tournament.

The eight-team field for the two-day event at Tualatin Hills Tennis Center featured some of the strongest teams in the state, including reigning Class 6A state champion and tournament host Jesuit.

Deuel secured his title with a 6-3, 6-1 victory over Jesuit’s Nick Biggi, who placed first in the Jesuit tournament last year as a freshman after defeating Deuel in the semifinal round.

“That was the best I’ve ever seen Paxton play,” said Summit coach Josh Cordell of Saturday’s final. “He really controlled the match.”

Deuel’s victory over Biggi gave the Storm standout a 30 record for the weekend and marked the only loss of the entire tournament for Jesuit. The Crusaders placed first in the team scoring with 70 points.

Class 6A Lincoln of Portland was a distant second with 25.5 points, and Summit, the reigning Class 5A state champion, was third with 22 points.

Rounding out the scoring were Class 6A teams Grant (21.5 points), West Linn (14.5), South Salem (14.5) and Southridge (13.5), and reigning Class 4A/3A/2A/1A state champion Oregon Episcopal (11).

“This is definitely the toughest tournament of the regular season,” said Cordell. “We were hoping for top four (team finish), so finishing third, we’re happy with that.”

Also placing for Summit were Conor Hegewald, third in No. 2 singles with a record of 2-1; Alec Virc, third in No. 4 singles (2-1); and Tanner Wise and Wes Franco, third in No. 4 doubles (2-1).

NASCAR finishes becoming unpredictable?

By Stephen Hawkins The Associated Press

FORT WORTH, Texas — Double-file restarts and the chance for multiple attempts at green-white-checkered finishes are certainly changing the end of NASCAR races and laterace strategy.

Or is it even strategy anymore?

“It’s a crapshoot,” Kyle Busch said.

Going into today’s race at Texas Motor Speedway, four of the seven Cup races this season have already gone to NASCAR’s version of overtime with extra laps. Two of those included multiple restarts after the scheduled final lap.

“It has really made finishes less predictable,” four-time defending Sprint Cup champion Jimmie Johnson said. “I don’t know if there really even is a strategy now. It’s more what the masses do.”

The problem this weekend could be getting the race started with rain in the forecast for today. Cup practice was canceled because of rain Saturday, a day after Tony Stewart earned his first pole in five years for what will be his 400th career start.

When Busch pulled onto pit road last weekend at Phoenix International Raceway during another late caution, the only thing that could thwart his dominating run, he got four tires. So did Johnson, with crew chief Chad Knaus figuring the odds were good that there would be more than one try for a green-white-checkered finish.

“It’s definitely a gamble, for sure. We knew who we were racing. We were racing the 48 car,” said Busch, whose two-second lead over Johnson with three laps left was wiped out by the caution.

Except six cars that took only two tires beat Johnson and Busch out of the pits, then only one restart was needed. Johnson moved up to third in that final two-lap shootout, while Busch remained eighth.

“Luckily, it was only a green-white-checkered and not four to go,” said Ryan Newman, who snapped a 77-race winning streak by leading the last two laps. “I’m pretty sure that we wouldn’t have made it to the checkered if it was (more than one restart).”

Had there been another caution, there

Kyle Busch’s drive for 5 in a row at Texas delayed FORT WORTH, Texas — Kyle Busch’s drive for five at Texas Motor Speedway has been delayed by rain.

The wet weather and more showers in the forecast led to Saturday’s postponement of the Nationwide race at the 1½-mile Texas track.

Busch is trying to join Jack Ingram and Dale Earnhardt as the only drivers to win five straight races in NASCAR’s second-tier series at the same track. Busch swept both Nationwide races at Texas in 2008 and again in 2009.

The race was rescheduled for tonight after the Sprint Cup race earlier in the day.

Weather still could be an issue Sunday, when there is a good chance of more rain.

— The Associated Press could have been up to two more greenwhite-checkered attempts since NASCAR before this season increased the number of possible retries to three. That would have put Johnson and Busch back into contention for a victory.

If Busch and Johnson had come out of the pits still in front, the No. 18 Toyota and No. 48 Chevrolet would have restarted side-byside with the double-file system implemented midway through last season.

Adding to those changes already in place, the spoiler effect is likely to come into play in Texas.

Even though the rear spoiler replaced the wing on the back of the cars two weeks ago, the biggest change at smaller tracks was the more traditional look.

The spoiler had minimal impact on racing at the 0.526-mile Martinsville track or even the mile-long Phoenix International Raceway. But that could be much different at the 1½-mile high-banked Texas track that is one of the Cup circuit’s fastest.

“I’m hoping it will be a little different so we get an opportunity to shake things up and maybe take advantage of the change,” Carl

Edwards said.

The only three-time winner at Texas, Edwards hasn’t won a race anywhere since the 2008 season finale.

“I think no matter what happens here, there’s going to be a verdict on the spoiler,” Jeff Burton said. “If we have a great race, if we have a poor race, there’s going to be a determination that the spoiler was really good or the spoiler was really bad.”

But Burton, the only other multiple winner at Texas (1997 and 2007), was quick to caution that it will take some time for “all the teams to get tuned into” the change.

“If we have a good race here, I think that’s a good sign, honestly,” he said. “If we have a bad race here, it doesn’t necessarily mean that it’s bad. ... We kind of just need to run the race and see how the race goes and then make a determination after that.”

Three years ago, NASCAR phased in a new race car that replaced the spoiler with a wing, and the Car of Tomorrow has been used full time since 2008. The wings were taken off last month after several tests, the first with drivers (only four) on the track coming at Texas in January before an open test at Charlotte last month.

“Everybody has to keep in mind, it’s just like when we came out with the CoT car initially in the first place, it’s an adjustment phase,” Stewart said.

Jeff Gordon has gone 36 races — the equivalent of a full season — since his last victory at Texas a year ago that ended a 47race winless streak. It was his only win in 18 starts at Texas, where he has the only two last-place finishes of his 588 career starts.

Homestead is the only active track where he hasn’t won.

Gordon was the runner-up at Phoenix last week and third at Martinsville the race before that, leading on the final restarts in overtime in both.

“It’s been frustrating for sure,” he said. “At the same time, it’s encouraging that we’re putting ourselves in that position to be able to go out there and possibly win. I think we are heading in the right direction to get ourselves wins and that’s what I’m excited the most about. “

Johnson, Hornish back in Texas after fall mishap

By Schuyler Dixon The Associated Press

FORT WORTH, Texas — Jimmie Johnson smiled when he realized Sam Hornish Jr. was in front of him on the outside of the first two rows for today’s Sprint Cup race in Texas.

The four-time defending series champion wasn’t quite as amused the last time he was bumper to

bumper with Hornish at Texas Motor Speedway. That was last fall, when their wreck on the third lap sent Johnson to the garage for more than an hour and took a huge chunk out of his seemingly insurmountable points lead.

It worked out fine for Johnson, who won the next week to all but wrap up his unprecedented run of Sprint Cup crowns. He got over

the wreck, too, later taking back some criticism when he realized the crash wasn’t Hornish’s fault.

Perhaps the outlook is brightening for Hornish, too. The IndyCar Series’ only three-time champion still hasn’t come close to winning on NASCAR’s top circuit, but Hornish is coming off consecutive career-best qualifying runs early in his third full

season. He has the No. 2 spot behind Tony Stewart, with Greg Biffle and Johnson on the second row.

“I feel like I’ve learned the tracks enough now and I’ve got a pretty good idea of where I need to be and what the car needs to be like,” Hornish said. “I’m just able to express it a little easier than I was a year ago.”

VANCOUVER, British Columbia — This time Vancouver goalie Roberto Luongo’s sprawling save attempt sunk the Canucks instead of rescuing them.

Anze Kopitar’s power-play shot 7:28 into overtime was knocked in by Luongo as the Los Angeles Kings overcame a two-goal deficit to beat the Canucks 3-2 on Saturday night, tying the Western Conference series at a game apiece.

With the Canucks penalized for too many men after a sloppy line change, Kopitar got his own rebound in close and fired a quick shot that Luongo stopped. But after diving to knock a puck off the line in Vancouver’s Game 1 overtime win, this time when Luongo spun back the puck hit the end of his stick and went in.

“He made the save,” said Kopitar, who also set up the tying goal. “The puck was in the air and he was reaching back. It hit his knob and went in.”

The overtime penalty came after a Kings player shot the puck toward the bench and it hit a player as he was coming off the ice amid a crowd of Canucks near the gate. It took a little more than a minute to convert it as Los Angeles improved to four for nine on the power play in the series.

“Surprised? I don’t know,” Kopitar said. “I saw they had a couple too many on the ice.

I don’t know it that’s the call you make in the OT, but we certainly don’t care. We got it, we capitalized on it and we split the series.”

Not surprisingly, Canucks coach Alain Vigneault disagreed with the penalty.

“It was the wrong call,” he said. “You are allowed 5 feet and the rule is the player coming on the ice cannot play the puck. While, yeah that puck touched one of our players, it touched Kevin Bieksa trying to get off the ice because he was cut. We’ve got two referees that got red stripes on their sweaters. They should make the call if they think it’s a penalty and not the linesman.”

Fredrik Modin and Wayne Simmonds scored 35 seconds apart midway through the second period to tie it for the Kings, who will host Game 3 on Monday night.

“To be able to get a split, to play in this building and deal with the emotion of playing in Canada, it was a real good, solid team effort,” Kings coach Terry Murray said. “The young guys played well. They played like veterans for me.”

Jonathan Quick overcame a soft early goal — and two on the first four shots — to finish with 24 saves for his first win in 10 starts dating to March 22.

“You want it back but you can’t do anything about it at that point,” Quick said about Mikael Samuelsson’s skipping 35-foot shot, which eluded him to give the Canucks a 2-0 lead just 9:49 in. “As soon as they drop the puck again you completely forget about it because it’s a still a two-goal game, you’re still in it and there’s still a lot of hockey to play. The team responded.”

Jonathan Hayward / The Associated Press

From right, Los Angeles’ Wayne Simmonds celebrates his second-period goal against Vancouver with teammates Anze Kopitar and Justin Williams in the NHL Western Conference playoff game at GM Place in Vancouver, Canada, on Saturday.

Steve Bernier, on a power play, also scored in the first period, and Luongo finished with 29 saves as the Canucks gave the Kings’ power play, which ranked seventh in the regular season and was two for three in Game 1, six chances.

“You give a team six penalties they’re going to capitalize, said Ryan Kesler, who had two assists. “We’ve got to figure it out and stay out of the box.

Modin scored on the Kings’ fourth power play and, after Quick made a couple good saves on a scramble, Canucks defenseman Sami Salo tripped to create a 3-on-1 break, with Kopitar feeding across to Simmonds for a quick shot to tie it.

NBA SCOREBOARD

Nuggets jump to early lead in series, beat Jazz The Associated Press DENVER — Carmelo Anthony scored a playoff career-high 42 points and J.R. Smith’s fourth-quarter flurry of three-pointers helped the Denver Nuggets beat the Utah Jazz 126-113 on Saturday night in Game 1 of the playoff series.

Anthony, whose previous playoff high was 41 points against Dallas in the second round last year, benefited from the absence of Jazz forward Andrei Kirilenko, who reinjured his strained left calf in practice Thursday and won’t play in the series.

Although Carlos Boozer (rib) returned to Utah’s lineup and scored 19 points, the Jazz lost center Mehmet Okur, who aggravated his left Achilles’ tendon injury in the first half, and C.J. Miles also missed some time because of nausea after colliding with Chauncey Billups in the second half.

Game 2 is Monday night in Denver.

Miles returned to start the fourth quarter but quickly went to the bench with five fouls. He scored 17 points but none after his free throws gave the Jazz a 54-53 lead with 40 seconds left in the first half.

Kenyon Martin pulled down 12 rebounds in 34 minutes — the most he’s played since missing 18 games because of a balky left knee during the stretch run when coach George Karl was undergoing throat cancer treatment.

This time, Nuggets acting coach Adrian Dantley didn’t mind Smith’s flurry of fourth-quarter three-point attempts.

Smith, who drew Dantley’s ire for firing up four three-pointers in the final two minutes of a blowout win over Memphis in the regular season home finale, sank three straight threes to break open a 90-90 game and give Denver a 99-93 lead.

A fourth shot hit the front of the iron, but Smith grabbed the long rebound himself and sliced through the lane for a finger-roll bucket that put the Nuggets ahead 101-93.

Smith, who finished with 20 points, sank another three to make it 111-100 and all but bury the Jazz.

The Nuggets took an 88-86 lead into the fourth quarter after Anthony sank a long three-pointer following a big block by Chris Andersen on Deron Williams.

Then, Smith took over, giving Dantley, the Hall of Fame forward, a win in his postseason coaching debut.

“I went over to George’s house yesterday.

He said, ‘Just go out and have fun.’ That was it,” Dantley said before tip-off. “No strategy for the team — set a couple of plays, but that was it.”

Karl recently completed his six-week treatment of radiation and chemotherapy and hopes to return to the bench later in the playoffs if the Nuggets can advance.

Blazers Continued from D1 After all, Portland was without Roy — and his 21.5 points per game — when the Blazers won in Phoenix 108-101 on Feb. 10.

Roy underwent surgery on Friday to repair a torn meniscus in his right knee. He has been ruled out for this series but might be back if Portland advances to the second round.

Suns players tend to dismiss the two losses to Portland as occurring before the team hit its stride. Phoenix won the last matchup 93-87 at home on March 21, part of the Suns’ 14-2 run to end the regular season.

This is not, Steve Nash points out, the high-flying Phoenix team of the Mike D’Antoni era.

The Suns still can score in a hurry, but this team is better equipped when the pace slows down, as it usually does in the playoffs.

“We’re not the same team we used to be,” Nash said after practice on Saturday. “We used to be an explosive offensive team in the open floor and we relied on that. We relied on three-point shots in transition. Now we can win in different ways. We’re deeper, we have better size, we’re better defensively. Adding some of those elements to our team has given us an opportunity to win ball games in different ways.”

Phoenix lost some of that size when 7-foot center Robin Lopez went down with a back injury.

He has started light workouts but will not play in the series.

The Suns, winners of eight straight at home, rely on a rhythm and tempo that the Blazers will try to disrupt by clogging the middle to stop Amare

“They’re whole philosophy is if you can beat us shooting jump shots, then have at it,” Gentry said.

Probably no one in the league is better at making jump shots than the Suns, particularly from long range. Phoenix was the runaway league leader in threepoint shooting, making 41.2 percent of its attempts.

“We’re going to have to make shots,” Gentry said. “If we make shots, we’ll be fine.”

The player who made the most threes for Phoenix is Channing Frye with 172. He had made 20 in his first four years in the NBA and spent the past two years on the Portland bench.

“I just knew I wanted to be an elite shooter,” he said, “and I knew I could do that with just work and the opportunity and the effort and the system. Here I came and here I am now.”

It’s well documented that the Blazers have had plenty of practice at regrouping following the loss of important players.

Center Greg Oden went down with a fractured left patella in early December and center Joel Przybilla re-ruptured a right patella tendon in early March. Roy missed 17 games with various ailments.

The fact that Portland still won 50 games makes Nate McMillan the NBA coach of the year, as far as Gentry is concerned.

“They’re a really tough-minded group,” Gentry said. “I think they just reflect what Nate was when he played.”

Depth has allowed the Trail Blazers to survive.

“We’ve had some guys that are capable to step in and play and win games and put us in the position that we’re in now with all the injuries we’ve had,” McMillan said, “and we’ll have to do it again.”

Rudy Fernandez will start in place of Roy. Phoenix will focus much of its defense on versatile, 6-foot-11 LaMarcus Aldridge, the team’s second-leading scorer at 17.9 points per game. But Aldridge believes it will be others who provide the added offense needed in Roy’s absence.

“I don’t think people realize that when Brandon was out, I wasn’t really shooting that much more,” he said. “It’s just guys taking advantage of the opportunity, Rudy (Fernandez) and (Jerryd) Bayless. I think those

guys will get more shots.”

Portland got another scare when Marcus Camby twisted an ankle in practice on Friday.

McMillan said Camby “should be OK” for today’s game.

Does the Blazers coach ever just shake his head and wonder when will this end?

“No, we’re kind of numb to this now,” he said. “So many things have happened to us and we’ve had to play through this all season long, so we’ll be ready to play tomorrow.”

GOLF ROUNDUP

COLLEGE BASEBALL

Furyk emerges as leader

Ducks take series over No. 1 Bruins

Golfer pulls away from 10-player tie for first place The Associated Press HILTON HEAD ISLAND, S.C. — Jim Furyk says he’s done putting pressure on himself.

That’s good, because about two dozen players plan to give the sixth-ranked Furyk all he can handle in the final round of the Verizon Heritage.

Furyk shot a 4-under 67 on Saturday to reach 11 under, good for a one-stroke lead over Brian Davis (66) at Harbour Town Golf Links.

At other times in his career, Furyk might’ve obsessed about success and driven himself nuts if he didn’t follow a third-round lead with a victory.

Now, less than a month away from 40 — and with a victory earlier this season at the Transitions Championship that ended a nearly three-year drought — Furyk is content to focus on what’s good about his game instead of what’s not.

“I felt like I had to be perfect and I had to hit every shot just right. I put undue pressure on myself,” Furyk said. “And I’m finding myself now going out there and enjoying that back nine, getting in the heat of battle.”

That was apparent Saturday when Furyk shook off a slow start while chasers who started the round behind him moved past.

Nick O’Hern, who teed off five hours ahead of the final group, gave an early indication of Saturday’s free-for-all with a 64 that put him atop the leaderboard before 36-hole leaders Furyk, Charles Howell III and Greg Owen were done with lunch.

“By the time I teed off I was in about fourth place, then I played a couple of holes and I was already dropping,” Furyk said.

At 2:45 p.m., 10 players were tied for first, all on a course where Brian Gay set tournament records in 2009 with a 10-shot victory and 20-under score.

When Baird asked where the leaders were and was told he was

Almost, Briny, almost.

Two strokes behind Furyk were two-time Verizon champ Boo Weekley (68), Stephen Ames (65), Briny Baird (66), Ricky Barnes (66), Luke Donald (67), Woody Austin (67) and Heath Slocum (67).

Right behind them at Harbour Golf Links was a group that included Camilo Villegas (67) and 2006 winner Aaron Baddeley.

In all, 23 players were within five strokes.

“Tomorrow, it’s go out and shoot as low as you can and not take your foot off the gas pedal,” said Davis, who’s never finished higher than second on the PGA Tour.

Slocum, a hunting and fishing buddy of Boo Weekley, looked as if he would finish the day in front as he came to Harbour Town’s 18th hole. But he sent his approach shot into a steep-faced bunker behind the green and could not get out on his first try.

He settled for a double-bogey 6 — his second straight at the

hole bordering Calibogue Sound — and a prime chase spot today.

“I’m due for a birdie tomorrow,” Slocum said of the finishing hole.

Furyk appeared as if he didn’t have the stuff to keep up with just one birdie on the front side where players traditionally make runs. He picked up the pace on the back nine, chipping in for birdie from about 40 feet away on the 11th and making a 25-foot birdie putt two holes later.

“I got off to a slow start with my ball striking today,” Furyk said. “Really made some good up and downs, kept myself in the game. Then probably down the stretch, it’s probably the best I’ve hit it all week.”

Furyk could’ve used that game last week, where he missed the cut at the Masters for just the second time in 14 appearances. He made sure to get a bit of work in on the Augusta National range that’s paying off at Harbour Town.

Davis hadn’t shot a round lower than 70 since February. Here, the Englishman posted his third straight score in the 60s to stay in the mix.

“It’s just a different feel this week, so bunched and it’s going to give guys probably three or four shots back tomorrow a great chance,” he said.

Also on Saturday: Langer up one at Pro-Am LUTZ, Fla. — Bernhard Langer shot a 5-under 66 to take a one-stroke lead over Mark O’Meara and Mike Reid in the Outback Steakhouse Pro-Am. Langer, the German star who won the Allianz Championship in February in Boca Raton for his ninth Champions Tour title, had a 9-under 133 total at TPC Tampa Bay. O’Meara shot a 69, and Reid had a 68.

South Korean seeks win in China SUZHOU, China — South Korea’s Y.E. Yang shot a bogey-free 4-under 68 to take a one-stroke lead into the final round of the China Open.

Yang had a 14-under 202 total at Jinji Lake Golf Club. Finland’s Mikko Ilonen (68) and Wales’ Jamie Donaldson (69) were tied for second in the event sanctioned by the European and OneAsia tours.

TENNIS ROUNDUP

Charleston final set between Zvonareva, Stosur The Associated Press CHARLESTON, S.C. — Topseeded Caroline Wozniacki retired from her semifinal match against Vera Zvonareva at the Family Circle Cup on Saturday after injuring her right ankle.

The Danish player was trailing 2-4 in the first set when she slid for a drop shot and her foot caught on the clay surface. She was assisted to her chair and got her ankle taped.

To cheers from the crowd, Wozniacki returned to the court at Daniel Island. But after Zvonareva held to go up 5-2, Wozniacki double-faulted at 15-15 and retired. Wozniacki was looking for her second straight tournament win, after a victory last week at Ponte Verde Beach, Fla. In today’s final, Zvonareva meets Samantha Stosur of Australia, who defeated Daniela Hantuchova of Slovakia 6-3, 7-6 (2).

Wozniacki, who was limping and had her ankle taped as she met with reporters, said she will have an MRI today. She said she heard a snap and felt pain while trying to run down the ball.

“I was surprised that I could stand on my leg, which was very positive, actually,” she said.

“But as soon as I was moving to the sides, it was impossible, so I couldn’t play.”

Wozniacki suffered a similar injury to her left ankle at Amelia Island two years ago that kept her away from tennis about three weeks. She was asked if she will play the French Open, which starts the last week of May. “Well, I certainly hope so. As it looks right now, it’s not too bad,” Wozniacki said.

Zvonareva missed the claycourt season last year after injuring her right ankle in a Family Circle Cup match.

“It’s great to be in the finals, but it’s not great to be in the finals this way,” said Zvonareva, ranked 22nd. “I don’t wish anyone to be in that situation because last year it was very difficult for me.”

A runner-up in Charleston two

Nadal, seeded second, will play sixth-seeded Fernando Verdasco in an all-Spanish final today. Verdasco defeated top-seeded Novak Djokovic 6-2, 6-2 in the other semifinal, depriving the Serb of a chance to avenge his defeat to Nadal in last year’s final.

Schiavone wins Barcelona Open BARCELONA, Spain — Topseeded Francesca Schiavone beat Italian compatriot Roberta Vinci 6-1, 6-1 to win the Barcelona Ladies Open.

Schiavone broke the defending champion five times and

saved all three break chances in the final.

U.S. Open playoffs start today NEW YORK — Tennis players ranging in age from 14 to 61 will be taking a shot at making it to the Grand Slam stage when the U.S. Open national playoffs start.

The first of 16 sectional tournaments begins at the USTA Billie Jean King National Tennis Center today. Eventually, one man and one woman will get a wild-card entry into the U.S. Open qualifying tournament in August.

Mic Smith / The Associated Press

Samantha Stosur waves to the crowd after defeating Daniela Hantuchova 6-3, 7-6 (2) in a semifinal match at the Family Circle Cup tennis tournament in Charleston, S.C., Saturday. years ago, she said she spoke briefly with Wozniacki at the net.

“I told her to take care about it and, you know, I have some experience with that and if she needs some advice,” she said. “I think she needs to relax a little bit right now because it’s difficult too — there are so many things going through your mind.”

Stosur, ranked No. 11, battled back after falling behind 5-2 in the second set. She said she wasn’t thinking about a threeset match.

“Once I hold to go to 5-3, then break, it’s anyone’s match again,” said Stosur, who fired eight aces, including one during the secondset tiebreaker.

“I’ve been getting close this year,” said Stosur, who reached the semifinals at Indian Wells earlier this year. “I’ve had pretty consistent results and been playing well, so I think I’m kind of getting rewarded for doing that week in, week out.”

From wire reports LOS ANGELES — Oregon scored an 8-4 victory over No. 1-ranked UCLA in the second contest of a three-game set Saturday afternoon before 1,320 at Steele Field at Jackie Robinson Stadium.

Oregon (23-11, 6-5) received a strong effort from righthander Justin LaTempa (3-2), who recorded his third victory of the season as the Ducks’ starter. LaTempa limited UCLA to three runs (two earned) and three hits in 6 1⁄3 innings, notching three strikeouts and no walks.

Bruins’ right-hander Trevor Bauer (5-2) absorbed the loss, surrendering eight runs (six earned) and 12 hits in seven innings. Bauer recorded five strikeouts and one walk.

The Ducks were led at the plate by center fielder Curtis Raulinitis, who went two-forfour with one homer, one triple and a game-high four RBIs. Second baseman Danny Pulfer

and third baseman J.J. Altobelli each went two-for-four with two runs and one RBI for Oregon.

UCLA left fielder Cody Keefer went two-for-three with a team-high three RBIs. Oregon assumed a 1-0 lead in the top of the first on a two-out home run by Pulfer.

The Ducks claimed a 3-0 advantage with two runs in the second inning. After designated hitter Ryan Hambright reached on a two-out fielding error, Altobelli singled on a bunt. A triple to right field by Raulinaitis scored Hambright and Altobelli.

Oregon extended its advantage to 8-1, scoring four runs in the sixth inning and one more in the seventh. A two-run homer to right field by Raulinitis in the sixth inning pushed the Ducks’ lead to 7-1.

UCLA and Oregon conclude their three-game series at Jackie Robinson Stadium today.

Game time is noon.

Beavers suffer loss to Cardinal in extra innings From wire reports CORVALLIS — Colin Walsh’s two-run home run in the 10th inning sent the 18thranked Oregon State baseball team to a 5-3 loss Saturday afternoon at Goss Stadium.

Walsh’s two-run shot came off OSU reliever Tyler Waldron and snapped a 3-3 tie. It sent Waldron to 3-3 on the year and dropped the Beavers to 20-10 on the year and 3-5 in Pacific10 Conference play.

Stanford’s Alex Pracher picked up the win after keeping the Beavers off the board in the 10th. He came on in relief in the ninth and worked two full innings for the win. He improved to 5-2 on the year.

Oregon State scored first when Stefen Romero hit a three-run home run to center in the third. It was his eighth home run of the season, and scored Adalberto Santos and Dylan Jones.

Stanford got on the board with two runs in the fifth

when Walsh tripled home two.

The Cardinal tied the game in the seventh when Tyler Gaffney was put out on a 4-3 groundout.

Tanner Robles started for the Beavers and finished with his fifth quality start of the season.

He worked 7 1⁄3 innings, scattering eight hits and three runs while striking out four. He did not get a decision.

Stanford starter Jordan Pries also went 7 1⁄3 innings. He allowed six hits and three runs while striking out seven.

Jones led the Beavers with two hits.

Oregon State and Stanford play the final game of the series today at 12:30 p.m. PDT. Note that the start time has been moved to 12:30 from 1 p.m. due to Stanford’s travel schedule.

Right-hander Sam Gaviglio will make his second start of the season for the Beavers. He is 1-0 this season and has an earned run average of 2.00.

2010 NFL draft: Player capsules Defense Notable defensive and special teams players in the NFL draft, grouped by projected NFL positions:

Offense Notable offensive players in the NFL draft, grouped by projected NFL positions:

DEFENSIVE ENDS

QUARTERBACK

Position outlook: With passing now the preferred way to move the ball, teams need to stop it any way they can. One way is with the sort of pass rushers who force changes in offensive game plans.

• Derrick Morgan, 6-3, 266, Georgia Tech, junior: Smart, 4-3 style end who can stop the run and be a crafty pass rusher. May not work out as an OLB in a 3-4.

• Jason Pierre-Paul, 6-5, 270, South Florida, junior: A bit tall for a DE, he might be stood up easily by blockers.

Better at pursuit than holding the point against the run. Nice burst off the ball on pass rush. Just one season of major college ball after two JUCO years.

• Brandon Graham, 6-1, 268, Michigan: Despite lack of ideal height, Graham’s a disruptive force with nice speed off the edge and good athleticism and field smarts.

• Everson Griffen, 6-3, 273, Southern Cal, junior: Fast for such a big guy, he’s quick off the snap, but does his best work in confined areas.

• Carlos Dunlap, 6-6, 277, Florida, junior: Can play in either scheme due to combination of size and speed.

Motivation a concern, as is a DUI arrest.

Position Outlook: There’s no easy choice here for teams looking for the franchise QB. Injuries and coaching systems in college all cause plenty of drawbacks.

• Sam Bradford, 6-foot-4, 236 pounds, Oklahoma, junior: His wellknown shoulder injury may not keep him from being the first QB taken.

Or first player selected overall. Very accurate on the kinds of short and medium throws currently in fashion.

Quick release, but not totally over the top. Occasionally will hold ball too long.

• Jimmy Clausen, 6-3, 222, Notre Dame, junior: Three-year starter in a pro-style system with a quick delivery, but less than ideal deep ball arm strength.

• Colt McCoy, 6-1, 216, Texas: Good decision maker with a less than elite arm. Excellent short-pass accuracy, but deep balls need work. Nimble on his feet. A leader and a winner.

• Tim Tebow, 6-3, 236, Florida: A central question of the 2010 NFL draft: which team is willing to take Florida’s linebacker-sized, powerrunning quarterback with the slow release and lack of experience in a pro-style system? No questions about his leadership.

• Tony Pike, 6-6, 223, Cincinnati: Prototypical size, lit it up in college, what’s not to like? Well, one reason he’s so good on short passing is that was the system at Cincinnati. Plenty of injury history, too.

DEFENSIVE TACKLES Position outlook: Getting to the QB isn’t just a job for ends. Teams that can draw double teams in the middle are a step ahead — and it doesn’t hurt to be able to stuff the run, either.

• Ndamukong Suh, 6-4, 307, Nebraska: Could fit in either a 3-4 or 4-3, thanks to sun-blotting size and plenty of quickness and strength.

Projects as both a pass rusher and a run disrupter. Slight injury history.

• Gerald McCoy, 6-4, 295, Oklahoma, junior: A great fit in a 4-3, where he can wreak havoc with his speed and athleticism. A potential nightmare for blockers in years to come.

• Jared Odrick, 6-5, 304, Penn State: Has ability to play either front, but needs some coaching in pass rush.

• D’Anthony Smith, 6-2, 304, Louisiana Tech: Big and athletic, not what you want to hear if it’s your job to block him. He’s also durable and athletic, but can be pushed around versus the run.

• Brian Price, 6-1, 303, UCLA, junior: Powerful, but a bit short. Good pass rush moves, but not great in pursuit or moving side to side.

• Tyson Alualu, 6-3, 295, California: A tweener, perhaps, for a DE. He’s got hands and pass-rush moves, but size leaves him between 3-4 and 4-3 desirability.

LINEBACKERS Position outlook: One of the few thin defensive positions in this draft, there’s still a couple gems for teams that choose wisely for their scheme and personnel.

Inside Linebackers • Rolando McClain, 6-3, 254, Alabama, junior: Has great ability, and leadership ability. His toughness and strength serve him well against the run and on blitzes, but man coverage may be a liability. Smart player who can read route progressions well in zone coverage.

• Brandon Spikes, 6-3, 249, Florida:

Draft Continued from D1 At each of the 32 tables, a team representative is connected by telephone to its main office, where the personnel gurus, coaches and scouts hope to outsmart the other 31 teams. The rep is told the player’s name and passes it to league officials.

In its early years, the draft wandered through two dozen hotels in Philadelphia, New York, Chicago, Milwaukee, Washington and Pittsburgh. Bert Bell, the Eagles’ owner, had persuaded other club owners that the league, then dominated by the Bears, the Packers and the Giants, would never survive unless each of its teams had an even chance of bidding for that year’s best college players.

At the original 1936 draft, held at the Ritz-Carlton in Philadelphia, players were often selected based on newspaper or magazine clippings. Jay Berwanger, the Heisman-winning back from the University of Chicago, was chosen first by the Eagles. He demanded $1,000 a game. When Bell offered $150, Berwanger was traded to the Bears, but he chose to enter the business world.

In those hotel ballrooms, the tables were close, prompting Art Rooney, the Steelers’ boss, to caution his coach and aides.

“Don’t argue about a player around the other teams’ coaches,”

Dave Weaver / The Associated Press

Nebraska’s Ndamukong Suh will likely be one of the top defensive players taken in the NFL draft.

Strong and intense, he’s an excellent run stopper who needs to show more as a blitzer. Can make plays in coverage, despite lack of elite speed.

• Sean Lee, 6-2, 236, Penn State: Good size, and quick reads help him overcome lack of top-end speed and agility that may hamper him in man coverage. Injury concerns after missing 2008 due to torn knee ligaments.

Outside Linebackers • Sean Weatherspoon, 6-1, 239, Missouri: Sharp player versus both run and pass, his combination of speed and size helps him defend against either. Not always quick to diagnose, however.

• Sergio Kindle, 6-3, 250, Texas: Played two years at DE for Longhorns, but projects as an OLB in a 3-4.

Perhaps best suited to blitzes and run pursuit.

• Ricky Sapp, 6-4, 252, Clemson: Edge rusher who could also be a DE, especially if he can get some bulk on that frame without losing any of his excellent athleticism.

• Jerry Hughes, 6-2, 255, TCU: Nimble and quick, he played DE in college, so pass coverage will need work. Had nice combine.

Accomplished pass rusher.

• Dekoda Watson, 6-1, 240, Florida State: Fast, versatile player with experience playing inside and outside.

Good instincts, but technique needs refinement.

DEFENSIVE BACKS Position outlook: Want to win games in the NFL? Stop other teams’ passing attacks. That starts here, with a few excellent prospects in Joe Haden, Earl Thomas and Eric Berry.

Cornerbacks • Joe Haden, 5-11, 193, Florida, junior: Smooth, fluid runner with excellent ball skills. Good but not great in run support. Can return kicks.

• Kyle Wilson, 5-10, 194, Boise State: Great field vision in secondary and on punt returns. Plenty of athleticism, but not a lot of size.

• Devin McCourty, 5-11, 193, Rutgers: Savvy player with good

he said. “If they hear you, they’ll pick him before we can.”

After Bell was elected the commissioner in 1946, he supervised the draft meetings. His son Upton, once a front-office executive with the Colts and the Patriots and now a radio commentator in Boston, remembers his father sitting at one end of a hotel ballroom.

“He’d announce a team and a player like a carnival barker,” Upton said. “Then he’d chalk the names on a blackboard.”

If a team was out of players it had read or heard about, it hurried through its newspaper or magazine clippings. When the Giants’ turn came up in the 27th round in 1953 at the Bellevue-Stratford in Philadelphia, the owner Wellington Mara happened to notice The Pittsburgh Courier’s list of the nation’s best African-American players.

“We’ll take Roosevelt Brown, tackle, Morgan State,” Mara announced.

As a starter for 13 seasons, Brown was all-NFL eight times, helped the Giants reach six championship games, went to the Pro Football Hall of Fame and was selected as one of the two offensive tackles on the NFL’s 75th-anniversary team in 1995.

When the draft settled in New York hotels in the ’60s, there was no room for spectators, just a few pro football writers, but a stranger occasionally appeared. At the Essex House in 1972, a small man in

balance and strong work ethic. Ball skills could be better.

• Kareem Jackson, 5-10, 196 Alabama, junior: Cerebral player with skills to hang with speedy WRs. Confident and aggressive, gets to the ball. Some issues with durability and occasional overaggressiveness. Might fit nicely in a cover-2.

• Jerome Murphy, 6-0, 196, South Florida: Solid, aggressive cornerback whose style may fit a cover-2 better.

Two-year starter.

• Donovan Warren, 5-11, 193, Michigan, junior: Versatile defensive back who can play at the corner or safety, he’s not a pure speedster, island-type cover cornerback.

Excellent in run support.

• Patrick Robinson, 5-11, 190, Florida State: Good pure speed and aggressiveness for a cover-2 scheme, but not particularly quick. Raw technique.

Safety • Eric Berry, 6-0, 211, Tennessee, junior: Hard, physical player who seems to see what’s happening on the field before anyone else does. Smart player with good leadership abilities.

Had shoulder surgery after 2008 season.

• Earl Thomas, 5-10, 208, Texas, junior: Fast and willing to fill holes in the running game; size and strength may be drawbacks in the NFL. Might work out as a cornerback.

• Taylor Mays, 6-3, 230, Southern Cal: Plenty of physical tools, but doesn’t always take proper angles and can be overaggressive, which will lead to whiffs.

SPECIALISTS Kicker • Leigh Tiffin, 6-1, 209, Alabama: Made 86 percent of field goals, including some pressure kicks. Might not be a kickoffs guy, but shows 50yard range and accuracy to boot.

Punter • Zoltan Mesko, 6-4, 204, Michigan: Four-year starter with a 44.5-yard average in 2009. Excellent at dropping ball inside the 20. Big and athletic, he’s carried on fakes, too.

a raincoat leaned against the ballroom wall. Dustin Hoffman.

In 1979, three or four dozen fans in a corner of the Starlight Roof of the Waldorf-Astoria erupted in boos when the Giants used their first-round choice to draft Phil Simms, an unheralded quarterback from little Morehead State.

Not even broadcast on radio, the draft was the last newspaper story. The day of the draft, fans all over the country phoned local newspaper sports departments to learn their favorite team’s choices.

But in 1980, a new cable network, ESPN, was covering Super Bowl XIV when Val Pinchbeck, the NFL’s vice president for television, approached the crew.

“What can you guys do during our off-season?” Pinchbeck asked. “We’d like to do the draft,” said Chet Simmons, the ESPN president.

Three months later, ESPN did it, with George Grande as the announcer, Joe Thomas as the expert, and Paul Zimmerman of Sports Illustrated as the analyst.

During that Super Bowl conversation, Commissioner Pete Rozelle asked Simmons, “You think anybody would really want to watch the draft?” Millions did, and three decades later, it’s in prime time.

When the draft moved to the Marriott Marquis in 1986, the draftniks had room in the balcony to howl and hoot. When it moved to the Theater at Madison Square Garden in 1995, they had even

OFFENSIVE LINE Position Outlook: One of the few deep positions on the offensive side of the ball, there may not be an easy early pick such as a Joe Thomas or Jason Smith, but there are plenty of strong prospects.

• Russell Okung, 6-5, 307, Oklahoma State, junior: Big and long-armed, he’s nimble on his feet and shows the always appreciated “mean streak” in running game.

• Anthony Davis, 6-5, 323, Rutgers, junior: Mammoth but nimble. Yep, he looks like a left tackle, though Davis may be a notch below some of the elite LT prospects in years past, it’s not a very big notch. Weight issues.

• Bryan Bulaga, 6-5, 314, Iowa, junior: Comes from a program that always seems to have OLs ready to play in NFL. Lack of truly elite physical qualities means speed rushers can be troublesome at times.

• Trent Williams, 6-5, 315, Oklahoma: Projects as an RT, especially in the run game, where he can be a bulldozer.

Might have to add some size.

• Mike Iupati, 6-5, 331, Idaho, junior: Huge interior line prospect with strength and some agility. Not all that fast, and English is not native language. Key to college program’s improvement.

• Maurkice Pouncey, Florida, 6-4, 304, junior: Quick out of his center’s crouch despite his size; can also play guard. Sharp feel for the game. Had labrum surgery before last season.

• Bruce Campbell, 6-6, 314, Maryland, junior: Physical specimen of an LT prospect whose biggest drawback is a demonstrated lack of durability. Tools and technique will tempt some team into making a move, and had excellent workouts.

• Rodger Saffold, 6-4, 316, Indiana:

more room. And at Radio City now, all those team jerseys may offend a grand showplace created for the well dressed, but the draft is in prime time, baby.

Paul Battaglia / The Associated Press

California tailback Jahvid Best suffered a season-ending concussion but still figures to be one of the top running backs selected.

Three-year starter at left tackle, but may need to move inside. Smooth in pass protection, needs to work on pulling and other run techniques.

RUNNING BACK Position Outlook: There’s not a flawless prospect in the bunch, but many have much to recommend them.

Spiller and Best were highlight-reel staples, McKnight and Mathews are reliable, and Tate had a strong combine.

• C.J. Spiller, 5-11, 196, Clemson: Spiller is more of a game-breaker than a workhorse type of back. Lack of size means he won’t be grinding out 30-carry games in December, but rare speed and acceleration should make him a threat to score any time he gets the ball.

• Ryan Mathews, 6-0, 218, Fresno State, junior: Productive, hard runner with a good burst through the hole.

Not experienced in passing game and durability is a bit of a concern. A possible future workhorse. Led nation in rushing per game, 150.7 yards.

• Jahvid Best, 5-10, 199, California, junior: Near-weekly highlight producer, unfortunately including a concussion in November. A major threat due to absurd acceleration and speed; not a grinder. Concussion history is always a concern, of course.

• Joe McKnight, 5-11, 198, Southern Cal, junior: Elusive, but shows some good power for his size. Good vision and patience. Injuries and bulk are concerns.

• Ben Tate, 5-11, 220, Auburn: Tough, one-cut bowling ball type willing to lower the shoulder into helpless defenders. Not an outside runner.

WIDE RECEIVER Position outlook: A thin group this year means second-round talent might start coming off the board early for teams who have taken care of defensive needs.

• Dez Bryant, 6-2, 225, Oklahoma State, junior: Physically gifted, with all the size and speed position requires. Maturity issues will give

teams pause. Missed 10 games in 2009 for lying to NCAA. • Demaryius Thomas, 6-3, 244, Georgia Tech, junior: Good size, speed and athletic ability, but routes are a bit of a mess. Nice hands and ability to make plays on the ball.

Scored well on Wonderlic.

• Golden Tate, 5-10, 199, Notre Dame, junior: Excellent route runner and playmaker who lacks elite size or speed. Good hands.

• Arrelious Benn, 6-1, 219, Illinois, junior: Big and fast, he needs some coaching on routes. Good hands, excellent after-catch skills.

• Dezmon Briscoe, 6-2, 207, Kansas: Inconsistent, but the hands and size are there. Good after the catch, despite lack of serious speed.

TIGHT END Position outlook: The lack of options for elite pass catchers will push tight ends into the arms of hard-up teams earlier than otherwise might have happened.

• Jermaine Gresham, 6-5, 261, Oklahoma, junior: October surgery to repair torn cartilage in his right knee is the biggest concern for Gresham, an elite prospect with the speed to stretch defenses. Blocking is a work in progress.

• Aaron Hernandez, 6-2, 245, Florida: Good hands and body control in passing game, along with nice speed.

A touch undersized, and blocking seems more suited for H-back.

• Dennis Pitta, 6-4, 245, BYU: A receiving tight end with nice athleticism and good route running.

Not experienced as a down blocker at all. Also is 25 years old.

• Rob Gronkowski, 6-6, 264, Arizona, junior: Big, tons of athleticism, good hands — and he’s an able blocker.

Health concerns could cause teams to take a pass after he missed 2009 and three games in 2008.

DAVID BRODER

Is another GOP upset in the cards this year?

BOSTON — efore there was a Scott Brown, amazing the political world by capturing Ted Kennedy’s old Senate seat, there was a Charles Baker Jr., challenging the Democratic grip on Beacon Hill by announcing that he would try to deny Barack Obama’s favorite governor, Deval Patrick, a second term.

Baker, a 53-year-old Harvard grad, was no run-of-the-mill candidate. His GOP credentials were established during the years that he worked as the budget chief for former Republican Govs. William Weld and Paul Cellucci, and his business background was augmented by his more recent service as CEO of Harvard Pilgrim Health Care, the second largest insurer in the commonwealth.

But on the day he entered the race last July, Baker said he supported abortion rights and same-sex marriage. “My brother’s gay, and he’s married, and he lives in Massachusetts, so I’m for it. Is that straight enough?” he told The Boston Globe.

In case the message was missed, Baker later chose as his running mate for lieutenant governor a veteran state senator, Richard Tisei, who is openly gay.

Even more surprising, perhaps, was the back story on the Patrick-Baker relationship. Four years ago, when Patrick won over establishment Democratic opponents on his way to becoming Massachusetts’ first black governor, he sounded out Baker about becoming his running mate on what would have been a cross-party ticket. Baker said no, but later agreed to serve on Patrick’s budgetary transition team.

All this happened before Brown won the special Senate election after Kennedy’s death, raising the stakes in the gubernatorial election and catapulting Baker into prominence.

In an interview last week, Baker said he sensed the potential for the perpetually outnumbered Massachusetts Republicans, who hold only five of 40 state Senate seats, to forge a “new coalition of reformers,” drawing support from independents and disaffected Democrats.

But the path ahead for him is filled with obstacles. In the Republican primary, he faces businessman Christy Mihos, who ran for governor four years ago as an independent, and in the fall he may have to share votes with Timothy Cahill, twice elected as state treasurer on the Democratic ticket but now running against Patrick as an anti-tax independent.

Baker outraised all the other candidates in the first reporting period of the year, drawing on his support in the insurance community, and has signaled that he will fight to control the tax issue — vowing to try to roll back a 1.25 percent sales tax increase enacted by Patrick and the Democratic Legislature last year in an effort to soften the impact of the recession on schools and social services.

In the interview, Baker said his “disappointment” with Patrick began when the governor signed deficit budgets in his first two years, even before the recession hit. Now things look much grimmer.

On tax-collection day this year, Boston newspapers reported that the lower house of the Legislature had passed a budget cutting state aid to localities and schools by 4 percent, while approving for the first time legislation creating two gambling casinos and adding racetrack slot machines, in hopes they will produce millions in new revenue.

That same day, Sarah Palin was whipping up the anti-tax crowds at a tea party rally on Boston Common. Baker did not attend but as he campaigned across the state, he reminded his audiences that he had quoted George H.W. Bush’s fateful pledge, “Read my lips. No new taxes.”

In an earlier interview, Patrick told me he believed Massachusetts voters would reward him for taking a “balanced” approach to the fiscal crisis his state, like most others, has been facing — trying to minimize both tax hikes and spending cuts. Meantime, he has begun criticizing Baker for his ties to the health insurance industry, whose premium increases are causing problems for Massachusetts’ pioneering effort at universal health coverage.

A Baker victory would signal that Brown’s upset win was not a fluke. But he rightly said, “I’m still an underdog.”

Can garbage be

green & clean?

Europe burns its trash for inexpensive energy, but some in the U.S. are fighting for ‘zero waste’

By Elisabeth Rosenthal New York Times News Service

HORSHOLM, Denmark — The lawyers and engineers who dwell in an elegant enclave here are at peace with the hulking neighbor just over the back fence: a vast energy plant that burns thousands of tons of household garbage and industrial waste, round the clock.

Far cleaner than conventional incinerators, this new type of plant converts local trash into heat and electricity. Dozens of filters catch pollutants, from mercury to dioxin, that would have emerged from its smokestack only a decade ago.

In that time, such plants have become both the mainstay of garbage disposal and a crucial fuel source across Denmark, from wealthy exurbs like Horsholm to Copenhagen’s downtown area.

Their use has not only

reduced the country’s energy costs and reliance on oil and gas but also benefited the environment, diminishing the use of landfills and cutting carbon dioxide emissions. The plants run so cleanly that many times more dioxin is now released from home fireplaces and backyard barbecues than from incineration.

With all these innovations, Denmark now regards garbage as a clean alternative fuel rather than a smelly, unsightly problem. And the incinerators, known as waste-to-energy plants, have acquired considerable cachet as communities like Horsholm vie to have them built.

A squall erupts for wind farm I

t boggles the mind to think of a move last month by the Federal Aviation Administration and the U.S. Air Force to block con-

struction of the Shepherds Flat Wind Farm along the Columbia River near Arlington. It was a last-minute move that should have been made months, if not years, ago.

The Shepherds Flat project would be the largest wind power project in the United States, some 338 turbines in all. Its developer, Caithness Energy, will put the farm in Gilliam County, and construction of the project will bring more than 700 jobs to the area.

According to the FAA’s “notice of presumed hazard,” issued last month, the project would “seriously impair the ability of the Department of Defense to detect, monitor and safely conduct air operations in this region.” That’s because the turbines can reflect radar signals and create blind spots that erase planes from radar screens. The turbine blades themselves also can change radar signals as the blades speed up and slow down.

These may well be far more than minor little difficulties, but surely the Air Force and FAA have known about them for some time. In fact, according to Caithness, the Air Force has known about the project for at least three years. The FAA has known about it longer than that. It’s difficult to understand why the two

While we question the public subsidies attached to projects like Shepherds Flat, energy developers who act in good faith deserve better treatment than Caithness has received. didn’t raise the red flag far earlier, before Caithness had spent so much time and money.

So far efforts by Sens. Ron Wyden and Jeff Merkley to resolve the matter have failed, though they continue.

Among possible solutions are remodeled turbines and upgraded radar systems. The system at Fossil, which the Shepherds Flat project would affect, is 50 years old.

While we question the public subsidies attached to projects like Shepherds Flat, energy developers who act in good faith deserve better treatment than Caithness has received.

Yes on Measure 69 B

allot Measure 69 is the second of two mind-numbing constitutional amendments referred to the May ballot by the 2009 Legislature. Unlike the first, Measure 68, this one deserves support.

Measure 68 is objectionable largely because it would tinker unnecessarily with Oregon’s method of funding the construction of local schools.

Facilities are now paid for primarily with local bond issues. The measure would allow legislators to put a big chunk of the bill on the state’s credit card.

Measure 69 pertains to the construction of educational facilities, too. There’s a theme here. But this measure focuses on facilities used by community colleges and public universities, and it leaves the state’s role largely intact. Meanwhile, the ways in which it would change the constitution make sense.

The constitution allows colleges and universities to finance such projects through the use of general obligation bonds, which are known for their relatively low interest. Measure 69 would change two parts of the constitution dealing with such bonds. The most meaningful change would give colleges and universities explicit authority to spend bond money not only on new facilities,

which they may do now, but also on existing facilities. Sometimes it’s easier to buy a building than to build a brand new one.

Such authority could save the Oregon Institute of Technology (OIT) millions, said college President Christopher Maples. OIT would like to consolidate its four campuses in the Portland area, but building a new facility would cost roughly twice as much as buying an existing building. Without the authority to use general obligation bonds, however, the school would have to use certificates of participation, which carry a higher interest rate. Over the 30year life of the loan, that could cost OIT an extra $2 million. The school would have to pass along that cost, said Maples, and students would inevitably pay some of it.

The measure also would make a few minor technical changes. These concern such things as allowable sources of matching funds for general obligation bonds. These tweaks are either innocuous or positive and, in any case, far less meaningful than the flexibility the measure would provide. If buying an existing building is cheaper than building a new one, colleges and universities should be allowed to buy with lowcost bonds.

My Nickel’s Worth The angry right Is anyone besides me appalled at the tone of civil discourse in this country?

There is name-calling, vile accusations such as “Traitor,” “Nazi,” “fascist” or “communist” and in-your-face screaming and yelling. Increasing the volume does not lend credence to the truth.

The extreme right wants freedom preserved with little government interference. One Republican calls another “not Republican enough.” One conservative says his brand of conservatism is more pure than another’s. It seems that all Republicans and liberals do is attack each other.

Rep. John Lewis, who marched in Selma with Dr. Martin Luther King, was called the “N” word. Rep. Bart Stupak was called a “baby killer.”

What have we become? A mob!

In this increasingly polarized environment we seem to have also lost our compassion for others. Many people are old, sick, financially devastated, unemployed or homeless. These are people who need a social safety net.

Who speaks for them? Yet all I hear is “get rid of Social Security, Medicare, Medicaid and unemployment benefits” — all the so-called entitlements.

These are a wise investment for most people.

I am a Christian and have been a registered nurse for 42 years. I believe in people helping people and government “of, by and for the people.” Yes,

that means government helping and protecting people. I believe it’s what Jesus would do.

Let’s stop the escalating demagoguery. Let’s work together for the benefit of everyone, with charity for all. Is that too much to ask? I think not!

Leave the goat alone If the billy goat out in Dry Canyon had a say, I bet he’d describe ideal goat habitat as being free of wildlife “managers” who throw nets over him, blindfold him to make the assault less stressful (give me a break) and punch holes in his ears with sharp objects. And doubtless all the most stylish goats are sporting radio collars this season.

Seems to me he was managing just fine before ODFW decided to impose its notion of what was in his best interests.

Disgusted with our leaders Americans are disgusted and angry with leadership’s continued personal and party-first self-serving deceptive tactics and catering to the rich and powerful through legalized bribery.

Politicians commonly operate above the law because we’ve allowed them to keep us apathetic and divided from a misconception of powerlessness,

partisan tactics and bribery: using pork to state and local voters in order to ensure re-election. Meanwhile, the country as a whole disintegrates, leading to impoverishment for all.

The simple and easy way to avoid widespread chaos and personal disaster is realizing we are all going to go down together regardless of party loyalty or special interests if we don’t start seeing the larger picture, realize both conservative and liberal views in moderation complement one another, and work for the country as a whole.

Leadership, though self-serving, will respond to fear of not being re-elected when receiving enough contacts from constituents. Otherwise, non-action by the common citizen will require far greater cost and effort in the future merely to survive.

Jail space The Deschutes County jail isn’t big enough. The sheriff proposes raising taxes (i.e., a bond) to build a new and bigger one.

There’s a brand new jail in Jefferson County that is sitting empty for lack of prisoners.

A little love for the country’s income-tax superstars T

he Internal Revenue Service needs to get way better at marketing.

Somehow the government tax collectors have let the country get locked into the idea that April 15 is a day of sorrow and misery, the culmination of the dreaded filing of the income tax form.

But, in fact, most people who file get money back. (Cue the horns and balloons.)

And according to one much, muchquoted study by the Tax Policy Center, 47 percent of American households didn’t have to pay one cent of income tax for 2009. (Marching bands, confetti.)

Thanks to the tax credits in President Obama’s stimulus plan and other programs aimed at helping working families, couples with two kids making up to $50,000 were generally off the hook this year.

Naturally, anti-tax groups held rallies to thank the president for doing so much to reduce the burden on the half of the country least able to pay. Not. “We need to cut taxes so that our families can keep more of what they

earn and produce and our mom-andpops then, our small businesses, can reinvest according to our own priorities,” said Sarah Palin, at a Tea Party, antitax rally in Boston on Wednesday. This was the most coherent thing she had to say about taxation, although there was quite a bit of “Drill, baby, drill!”

According to the Gallup polls, 45 percent of tea party supporters have incomes under $50,000. According to a New York Times/CBS News poll, Tea Party activists are virtually the only segment of the population in which a majority feels its tax burden is unfair.

Clearly, these are not the kind of folks who would cancel their anti-tax rallies just on account of not being taxed.

“We’re here to take our country back,” said a former Missouri House speaker at a tea party rally at the state capitol, where nobody appeared to be grateful for the good news about the bottom 47 percent at all.

Let us stop for a minute and consider this “take our country back” mantra.

Some people believe it is the cry of angry white men who don’t like seeing a

GAIL COLLINS lot of blacks, women and gay people in positions of power. I prefer a less depressing explanation, which is that all this yearning for the golden days of yore has less to do with Washington than with the fact that so many of the Tea Partyists appear to be in late middle age. I think they just want to go back to the country that existed when they were 28 and looked really good in tight-fitting jeans. Which is no longer the case.

But we digress. About that 47 percent figure. Even the Tax Policy Center, which came up with it, doesn’t seem all that thrilled with the attention it’s getting.

“That viral number,” sighed Bob Williams, a senior fellow at the center. He is worried that the country is getting

the impression that the bottom 47 percent is not paying anything for government services. But there are, of course, a lot of other taxes, particularly the big whoppers that are taken out of paychecks to pay for Social Security and Medicare, the programs everybody seems to like.

“This is looking only at income tax,” Williams said. “If we toss in payroll tax, only 13 percent are exempt from both — almost all low-income elderly.”

Clearly, we need a THANKS, GOVERNMENT!!!! parade of low-income elderly.

And shouldn’t there be better signage on paychecks? Nobody reads the fine print that shows how their gross pay shriveled into the take-home. Maybe the I.R.S. could stick in a big red box saying ZERO INCOME TAXES whenever appropriate.

While we’re at it, we could celebrate the top earners, who pay the bulk of the taxes, thanks to their having the bulk of the money. We don’t need to shed tears for them. The after-tax income of the top 1 percent more than tripled

since 1979, while the bottom-dwellers barely moved an inch.

Still, good job, wealthy people! You worked hard, played by the rules and the nation appreciates your support for the national defense, highways, meat inspection and national parks.

When President Obama gives a domestic policy speech, there’s usually a cleaning woman who has no health insurance or a laid-off firefighter invited to come onstage. But maybe he could give a hug to a corporate lawyer who pulled down $3 million and gave half of it back.

There’s no reason not to show the top taxpayers a little love. Paying a lot of taxes should be a badge of honor. It proves you made it into the league of big money-makers, not to mention the fact that you’re supporting the upkeep of the Grand Canyon. If the I.R.S. had been doing its marketing properly, little kids would dream of growing up to become really big taxpayers.

O Iraq outrage waned with Bush S

ix years ago, the conventional wisdom was that Ayad Allawi, then prime minister of the appointed Iraqi Interim Government, was a puppet of the United States.

Last month, though, the Allawi-led Iraqiya alliance won, by a narrow margin, more parliamentary seats than any other coalition in national elections and he may become the country’s next prime minister.

The secular Allawi successfully campaigned on the message of curbing religious interference in government — countering the often-argued charge that the U.S. has created a radical Islamic republic in Iraq.

Indeed, as we look back at our years in Iraq, almost all of what once passed for conventional wisdom has been proven wrong.

Yes, there is still terrorist violence in Iraq — especially recently as the leadership of the country’s next government remains in doubt. And, yes, there are still around 130,000 American soldiers in Iraq. But in the first three months of 2010, the number of American soldiers killed in Iraq was about equal to those murdered in Fresno, Calif.

Meanwhile, Iraq’s democracy has for some time now proven itself independent from the U.S. — and that old antiwar accusations that we entered the war to control Iraqi oil were false.

VICTOR DAVIS HANSON Last June, the representative Iraqi government held its first oil auction — featuring transparent negotiations in which no American oil company was awarded an oil concession.

Instead, Chinese, Russian, British, French and other national oil consortia were given the awards. These were legitimate contracts, too — not the sweetheart deals Saddam Hussein used to make with other governments in exchange for international political cover.

After the U.S. removed the monstrous Saddam, many argued that we were only empowering neighboring Iran — and thus that the U.S. and the region were better off when he was in power. Putting aside the morality of playing one dictatorship off against another, has theocratic Iran really benefited from the emergence of a constitutional democracy in Iraq?

Currently, the Iranian theocracy is far more unpopular among Iranians than the Iraqi democracy is among

Iraqis. Ending Saddam Hussein’s reign in the short-term might have been welcome to the ruling Iranian mullahs, but a nearby functioning secular constitutional state — with a Shiite majority — is becoming its worst nightmare.

Millions of restless Iranians must now wonder, “If Iraqi Shiites can talk freely on television, why can’t we?”

Given Iraq’s progress these last years, it’s hard to find anyone who still argues — as the current troika now directing U.S. foreign policy, President Barack Obama, Vice President Joseph Biden and Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, once did — that President Bush’s 2007 troop surge was a mistake.

To a then-Sen. Clinton, the surge’s purported success required a “suspension of disbelief.” But, as we now know, the surge saved Iraq and provided a blueprint of sorts for operations in Afghanistan.

Finally, there was the assertion that anti-war protests were all genuinely based on opposition to the American presence in Iraq rather than fueled, in large part, by partisan politics. But since January 2009, when Obama was sworn into office, there have been almost no anti-war demonstrations against the still-sizable American presence there. Popular demonstrations in the U.S. now oppose excessive government, not the war.

And Hollywood has ceased making its usual, unpopular anti-war movies like “In the Valley of Elah,” “Redacted,” “The Kingdom,” “Rendition,” “Lions for Lambs” and “Home of the Brave.”

Many on the left no longer oppose the Bush-Petraeus plan of slow, graduated withdrawal from Iraq, as this strategy is now sanctioned by President Obama. In the words of Vice President Biden, Iraq may well become one of the Obama administration’s “greatest achievements.”

It’s true that many original supporters of the three-week removal of Saddam Hussein underestimated the ordeal of establishing a constitutional state in his absence. But it’s also evident that many who damned the war did so mainly to embarrass then-President George Bush.

We see all of this mostly in hindsight. Dire assertions about Iraq did not come to pass. Anti-war passion cooled once war-critic Barack Obama was no longer a presidential candidate but became president — and commander-in-chief.

And, most importantly, a successful democracy finally did arise after the fall of Saddam.

New York Times News Service

N

ancy Pelosi, at lunch, was making the point that this latest recession was not a typical cyclical downturn.

“This is a different creature,” she said, “and it demands that we see it in a different way.”

The evidence is stark. More than 44 percent of unemployed Americans have been out of work for six months or longer, the highest rate since World War II. Perhaps more chilling is a new analysis by the Pew Economic Policy Group that found that nearly a quarter of the nation’s 15 million unemployed workers have been jobless for a year or more.

Everything in Washington is a heavy lift. The successful struggle to pass last year’s stimulus package fended off an even worse economic disaster, and the Democrats have managed to enact their health care initiative. But the biggest threat to the health of the economy — corrosive, intractable, demoralizing unemployment — is still with us. And the deficit zealots, growing in strength, would do nothing to counter this scourge.

Pelosi acknowledged that “there is always a calibration” between concerns about deficit reduction and the spending that is necessary to substantially reduce unemployment. But she believes there are several fronts on which Congress and the Obama administration can — in fact, must — still move forward: on infrastructure and green energy initiatives, for example, and assistance to states hobbled with fiscal crises of their own.

The crippling nature of the joblessness that has moved through the society like a devastating virus has gotten neither the attention nor the response that it warrants. One of the more striking findings

of the Pew study was that a college education has not been much of a defense against long-term unemployment.

“Twenty-one percent of unemployed workers with a bachelor’s degree have been without work for a year or longer,” the report found, “compared to 27 percent of unemployed high school graduates and 23 percent of unemployed high school dropouts.”

Whole segments of the U.S. population are being left behind, even as economists are touting modest improvements in some categories of economic data, like the creation of 162,000 jobs in March.

Jobless workers who are 55 or older are having a brutal time of it. Thirty percent have been jobless for a year or more.

Blue-collar workers are suffering through a crisis characterized as a “depression” by the Center for Labor Market Studies at Northeastern University in Boston. Blue-collar job losses during the Great Recession surpassed 5.5 million, and many of those jobs will never be seen again. This disastrous situation will not be corrected, as analysts at the center have noted, “by a modest recovery of the U.S. economy over the next few years.”

We need to pay less attention to the tea party yahoos and more attention to the very real suffering of individuals and families trapped in an employment crisis that is unprecedented in the postDepression era. I’ve been in inner-city neighborhoods where residents will tell you that hardly anyone at all is working at a regular job.

The recession only worsened an employment picture that was already bleak. In a speech at the Harvard Kennedy School last week, the AFL-CIO President Richard Trumka spoke movingly about Americans “trying to hold on to a good job in a grim game of mu-

sical chairs where every time the music stopped, there were fewer good jobs and more people trying to get and keep one.”

More than eight million jobs vanished during the recession, a period during which three million new jobs would have been needed to keep up with the growth of the population. “That’s 11 million missing jobs,” said Trumka.

Right now there is no plan that can even remotely be expected to result in job creation strong enough to rescue the hard-core groups being left behind. These include: long-term unemployed workers who are older; blue-collar workers of all ages; and younger people in the big cities, in the rust belt and in rural areas who are jobless and not well educated.

It is not possible to put together a thriving, self-sustaining economy while

S

DAVID BROOKS swing for the home run and sometimes end up striking out. They make more daring acquisitions, shift into new fields and abruptly change strategies.

Jim Collins, the author of “Good to Great” and “How the Mighty Fall,” celebrates a different sort of leader. He’s found that many of the reliably successful leaders combine “extreme personal humility with intense professional will.”

Alongside the boardroom lion model of leadership, you can imagine a humblehound model. The humble-hound leader thinks less about her mental strengths than about her weaknesses. She knows her performance slips when she has to handle more than one problem at a time, so she turns off her phone and e-mail while making decisions. She knows she has a bias for caution, so she writes a memo advocating the more daring option before writing another advocating the most safe. She knows she is bad at prediction, so she follows Peter Drucker’s old advice: After each decision, she

writes a memo about what she expects to happen. Nine months later, she’ll read it to discover how far off she was.

In short, she spends a lot of time on metacognition — thinking about her thinking — and then building external scaffolding devices to compensate for her weaknesses.

She believes we only progress through a series of regulated errors. Every move is a partial failure, to be corrected by the next one. Even walking involves shifting your weight off-balance and then compensating with the next step.

She knows the world is too complex and irregular to be known, so life is about navigating uncertainty. She understands she is too quick to grasp at pseudo-objective models and confident projections that give the illusion of control. She has to remember George Eliot’s image — that life is like playing chess with chessmen who each have thoughts and feelings and motives of their own. It is complex beyond reckoning.

She spends more time seeing than analyzing. Analytic skills differ modestly from person to person, but perceptual skills vary enormously. Anybody can analyze, but the valuable people can pick out the impermanent but crucial elements of a moment or effectively grasp a context. This sort of perception takes modesty; strong personalities distort the

T

information field around them. This sort of understanding also takes patience. As the Japanese say, don’t just study a topic.

Get used to it. Live in it for a while.

Because of her limitations, she tries to construct thinking teams. In one study, groups and individuals were given a complicated card game called the Wason selection task. Seventy-five percent of the groups solved it, but only 14 percent of individuals did.

She tries not to fall for the seductions that Collins says mark failing organizations: the belief that one magic move will change everything; the faith in perpetual restructuring; the tendency to replace questions with statements at meetings.

In the journal In Character, the Washington Post theater critic Peter Marks has an essay on the ethos of the stagehands who work behind the scenes. Being out when the applause is ringing doesn’t feel important to them. The important things are the communal work, the contribution to the whole production and the esprit de corps. The humble hound is a stagehand who happens to give more public presentations than most.

If this leadership style were more widely admired, the country could have spared itself a ton of grief.

so many are being left out. As Trumka noted, “President Obama’s economic recovery program has done a lot of good for working people — creating or saving more than two million jobs. But the reality is that two million jobs is just 18 percent of the hole in our labor market.”

Pelosi spoke about “jobs creation” with a tone of urgency and commitment and seemed undeterred by the fact that a big new jobs bill seems hardly feasible in the current political environment.

“You can do smaller pieces,” she said.

“You can break the task up into segments, into discrete pieces of legislation. If size is a problem, we should not let it be an obstacle.”

Bob Herbert is a columnist for The New York Times.

‘Humble hound’ leaders are dogged and successful ome leaders are boardroom lions.

They are superconfident, forceful and charismatic. They call for relentless transformational change.

The New York Times’ Sunday Business section this week had an interview with Andrew Cosslett, the chief executive of InterContinental Hotels Group, who seems to fit this general model. “I’ve always been very positive and confident,” he told Adam Bryant in the Corner Office column. “I can talk about changing things for the better, even if I don’t know what it is we’re going to change. I’ll just say we’re going over there somewhere.

And I don’t quite know what that looks like, but it’s going to be fantastic.”

Cosslett went on to talk about the skills that have helped him succeed: “I’m very sensitive to how people are thinking and feeling at any given moment. That’s really helpful in business, because you pick things up very fast.” He added, “I’ve always had a slightly maverick side that actually stood me in great stead.”

We can all point to successful leaders who display this kind of self-confidence.

It’s the sort of self-assurance that nearly every politician tries to present.

Yet much research suggests that extremely self-confident leaders can also be risky. Cosslett’s record is good, but charismatic CEOs often produce volatile company performances. These leaders

The idealist approach in Afghanistan here are many differences between Iraq and Afghanistan, but they do resemble each other in one critical way. In both countries, the “bad guys,” the violent jihadists, are losing. And in both countries, it still is not clear if the “good guys” will really turn out to be good.

And the big question the Obama team is facing in both countries is: Should we care? Should we care if these countries are run by decent leaders or by drugdealing, oil-stealing extras from “The Sopranos” — as long as we can just get out? At this stage, alas, we have to care — and here’s why.

I’ve read a lot of analyses lately criticizing President Barack Obama and Vice President Joe Biden for coming down so hard on Afghan President Hamid Karzai’s corruption. Karzai’s the best we’ve got, goes the argument.

He’s helped us in our primary objective of degrading al-Qaida and done good things, like opening schools for girls.

Sure, he stole his election, but he is still more popular than anyone else in Afghanistan and would have won anyway.

(Then why did he have to steal it? Never mind.)

This line echoes the realist arguments during the cold war as to why we had to support various tyrants. What mattered inside their countries was not important, the argument went. What mattered is where they lined up outside in our great struggle against Soviet Communism.

The Bush team took this kind of “neorealist” approach to Afghanistan. It had no desire to do state-building there. Once Karzai was installed, President Bush ignored the corruption of Karzai and his cronies. All the Bush team wanted was for Karzai to hold the country together so the U.S. could use it as a base to go after al-Qaida in Afghanistan and Pakistan. Frankly, this low-key approach made a lot of sense to me because I never thought Afghanistan was that important.

But, unfortunately, the Karzai government became so rotten and incapable of delivering services that many Afghans turned back to the Taliban.

So the Obama team came with a new strategy: We have to defeat the Taliban in Afghanistan if we are going to keep al-Qaida in check there and in Pakistan — and the only way to do that is by clearing them out of the towns and installing decent Afghan police, judges and bureaucrats — i.e., good governance — in the Taliban’s wake. Obama’s view is that, to some degree, idealism is the new realism in Afghanistan: To protect our hard-core interests, to achieve even our limited goals of quashing al-Qaida and its allies, we have to do something that looks very idealistic — deliver better governance for Afghans.

I still wish we had opted for a less intrusive alternative; I’m still skeptical about the whole thing. But I understand the logic of the Obama strategy and, given that logic, he was right to chastise Karzai — even publicly. If decent governance is the key to our strategy, it is important that Afghans see and hear where we stand on these issues. Otherwise, where will they find the courage to stand up for better governance? We need to bring along the whole society.

Never forget, the Karzai regime’s misgovernance is the reason we’re having to surge anew in Afghanistan. Karzai is both the cause and the beneficiary of the surge. I’m sure the surge will beat the bad guys, but if the “good guys” are no better, it will all be for naught.

In the Cold War, all that mattered was whether a country was allied with us. What matters in Obama’s war in Afghanistan is whether the Afghan people are allied with their own government and each other. Only then can we get out and leave behind something stable, decent and self-sustaining.

So, while Obama came to office looking at both Iraq and Afghanistan as places where we need to be focused more on protecting our interests than promoting our ideals, he’s finding himself, now in office, having to promote a more idealist approach to both. The world will be a better place if it works, but it will require constant vigilance. When Karzai tries to gut an independent election commission, that matters. When the Iraqi prime minister, Nouri al-Maliki, refuses to accept a vote count certified by the U.N. that puts him in second place, that matters.

As I have said before, friends don’t let friends drive drunk — especially when we’re still in the backseat alongside an infant named Democracy.

The Great Depression brought tales of high-profile gangsters who became “public enemies” — John Dillinger, Bonnie and Clyde, “Baby Face” Nelson. The perceptive “Infamous” centers on George “Machine Gun” Kelly and his ambitious wife, Kathryn, whom author Ace Atkins describes as being “footnotes” in history books; their one big score “relegated to faded headlines.”

In his fourth historical mystery, Atkins paints an evocative portrait of criminal who was, at best, a slacker and not a particularly good gangster. Without glamorizing the Kellys, Atkins’ “Infamous” delivers an insightful look at ambition, the seduction of fame, the beginnings of the FBI’s power and a multitiered society of criminals.

Gary Calamar and Phil Gallo relive the ‘Record Store Days’

By August Brown Los Angeles Times

LOS ANGELES — Picture a time when new technologies are threatening the livelihood of performing musicians. Music business titans are scrambling to adapt to the decentralization of distribution. Skeptics say it was all better back when music was an intimate transaction between artist and fan, instead of a fleeting bit of consumption.

The year is 1924. The new technology is the vinyl album, and the new retail concept — as seen by one particular forwardthinking San Francisco piano dealer — is the record store. the sense that a record store is “That was a time when people an unusual convergence of capthought records were really bad italism and counterculture, one for musicians,” said Gary Cala- that deeply shaped who Calamar, the co-author of “Record mar and Gallo (a music journalStore Days: From Vinyl to Digi- ist who has contributed to the tal and Back Again,” a new his- Los Angeles Times and Variety) tory of (and unashamedly geeky are today. “To this day, the first paean to) the culture of the re- stop I make in any new town is cord store. “People were just to the weird local record store,” getting used to electricity, and Calamar said. “It’s how I get my many artists resented the pres- bearings.

“Record Store Days” isn’t a “Record Store Days” is also a memoir, but it is charged with story of corporate capitalism’s

perks and perils, documenting the rise and fall of mega-chain retailers such as Tower and their major label partners, whose neglect of independent stores cut off a major artery of word-of-mouth fan support. On one level, Calamar sees his role as a music supervisor as something akin to that of the surly store clerk of his youth — a trusted intermediary between a morass of music and a curious fan. But as 2009’s biggest story in music proved, television and the Internet might not be enough to fill that gap. Sometimes fans need a place to go.

“Michael Jackson was the first major death of a musician where people didn’t have record stores,” Gallo said.

Calamar agreed. He shook his head at the thought. “I worked in Licorice Pizza when John Lennon was killed,” he said. “I had the day off but I came in anyway because people needed a place to mourn.”

roads and on smooth black tops; smell a parched farm gone to seed; taste the soup made of bits and pieces in shanty towns, and feel the grit and desperation of these make-shift places.

“Infamous” follows the Kellys’ three-months in the spotlight — from the kidnapping of wealthy Oklahoma oilman Charles Urschel in July 1933 to their inevitable capture. Blending meticulously researched fact with fiction, Atkins shows an intimate portrait of the easily manipulated George and the scheming Kathryn.

Although he could shoot, “Machine Gun” never killed anyone.

His nickname, according to Atkins, was given to him by his wife, who thought it would look good in the headlines.

The best historicals are a mirror to contemporary society, and Atkins smoothly and subtly shows how the economic crisis of the Great Depression blend into our current financial situation.

“Infamous” ranks high on my list of top mysteries of the year.

Is It The Juniper?

Clear One, Medicare & most other insurances accepted

Each spring, fall and summer trees release pollen. This is when pollen allergy takes its toll on us. The job of pollen is to fertilize other plants, but quite often pollen winds up entering our noses and throats, making our lives difficult if not simply miserable.

Interestingly, plants with bright colored flowers usually don’t bother pollen allergy sufferers. It is the plain looking trees and plants that cause the greatest allergy symptoms. Here in Central Oregon, Juniper, Mountain Cedar and Pine are significantly problematic.

Juniper and Cedar pollen cause asthma, hayfever, and allergic conjunctivitis usually starting in late February or March and lasting until April or May. Often people develop contact skin reactions with hives or itchy rashes in early February. These pollens have been observed to travel great distances of 200 km according to wind patterns.

Juniper may be unique in causing allergic rhinitis in patients who have no other sensitivities. It has further been observed that after a couple of years of moderate exposure, even the least allergic person will develop a Juniper allergy.

Symptoms Include: • Sneezing often accompanied by a runny or clogged nose.

• Coughing or a postnasal drip.

• Itching eyes, nose, and throat.

• Allergic shiners (dark circles under the eyes cause by increased blood flow near the sinuses).

• Watery, itchy, inflamed eyes.

• Mental dullness and fatigue.

The right care can make the difference between suffering and feeling better.

By visiting an experienced allergist, you can expect an accurate diagnosis, a comprehensive treatment plan that works and educational information.

Dobbs to find a mysterious nurse who traded love letters during World War I with their late son Michael, a mapmaker serving in France where he was declared missing in action in 1916. His body has been recently found; when Dobbs looks over the autopsy reports, she realizes immediately that young Clifton died not from German bombs but from a deliberate blow to the head.

Dobbs searches both for the nurse Clifton loved and the person who killed him. Her urgency increases when the elderly Cliftons are brutally attacked. The motivations behind the attacks involve both the possibility of gaining control of a California land stake and a blend of smoldering class tensions and revenge.

As a P.I., Dobbs never throws a punch or packs a rod. She talks, listens, reads and thinks. While engaging enough, this book’s mystery plot doesn’t rise to the intensity of its predecessor, “Among the Mad,” a gripping tale of terrorism and mental illness.

The new book compensates with a rich focus on changes in Dobbs’s life.

He now gets commissioned to photograph interesting people in interesting spaces for Vogue and the New York Times Magazine, among others. Last fall, he worked on an ad campaign for Nike where he documented athletes in their homes and hometowns, and most recently he shot the spring-summer Cole Haan campaign.

The photographer features the Cole Haan campaign on his Web site along with his noncommercial work. The Cole Haan images feel a bit cleaner than most of the photos he takes exclusively for the blog, but they still have the trademark Selby vibe. His interior shots tend to focus on people and details, not entire rooms, and the photographer clearly revels in studied messiness.

“After reading the book, I think you get a feeling of what I’m into,” he said. “Creative chaos and collage.”

Maisie Dobbs, the brave, insightful and compassionate heroine of Jacqueline Winspear’s mystery series, has a lock on the hearts of readers as well as the men who would be her suitors. Winspear’s new novel about a kind “psychologist and investigator” in 1930s Britain spends as much energy on Dobbs and her circle of friends as it does on the mystery she solves, but doesn’t suffer for doing so.

The daughter of a former produce seller, Dobbs has come up in the world, thanks to her thirst for education and the patronage of Lady Rowan. She served as a nurse in France during World War I, where both she and her love, a doctor named Simon, were wounded; Simon would later die.

The Great War both haunts Dobbs and drives her business, as many of her cases have had roots in it.

Highlights from that shoot include a collection of black-andwhite skeleton suits hanging on a wall, an old fashioned Ouija board and an R-rated picture of Mickey and Minnie Mouse.

Although he continues to photograph little-known people, the homes he profiles in his book include the very-well-knowns.

Among the 33 homes featured in “The Selby Is in Your Place,” you’ll find a dreamy ramshackle house in Laurel Canyon that belongs to a shaggy musician and a film director, as well as pictures of Karl Lagerfeld in his Paris studio, model Helena Christensen in her West Village apartment, and even Barneys creative chief Simon Doonan and designer Jonathan Adler’s fastidiously art-directed “shag pad” in New York City.

During the last couple of years, Selby’s personal project

about his girlfriend’s illness is powerful and heart-wrenching.

It’s also a good way to show how some of the tools were — or could have been — used to deal with that sad situation.

The other powerful tool Merrill gets into is how he “encodes” information before dealing with it.

We all process information differently, but Merrill’s methods, borne of the adaptive behaviors he developed from his learning disorder, fit perfectly with this new way of functioning. It may not work for everyone but for those of us in the business of pushing pixels, it’s a great way to start thinking about doing things better.

Don’t be deceived by the charming watercolor illustrations or the childlike handwritten questionnaires sprinkled throughout Todd Selby’s new book, “The Selby Is in Your Place.” When it comes to photographing interiors, Selby has standards.

He’s not specifically interested in expensive decor or clean architectural lines (although you’ll find both in his book). He’s looking for people who outfit their homes with a point of view.

When Selby is in your place, your record collection is noted, the books on your shelves are documented, and the artful way you arrange your flea market treasures is celebrated.

“It’s very specific what I’m looking for and it’s nothing formulaic,” the photographer said.

“It’s really about style.”

Selby started shooting homes in June 2008. Working as a celebrity portrait photographer since 2001, he found he preferred profiling subjects in spaces that were meaningful to them — Dolly Parton in Dollywood, Jeff Koons in his studio. In 2007, the London Guardian asked him to photograph Tom Wolfe in his Upper East Side apartment, where the writer lives among a collection of portraits of himself. Selby was disappointed when the publication ran the obvious shot of the famous writer in his famous white suit, and it included none of his pictures of Wolfe’s stuff, including a pristine white hat on a stand, a signed print of an elegantly dressed monkey and an enormous vase of beige flowers.

In response, Selby started a Web site called TheSelby.com to publish photos that capture his subjects through the things they have collected and the way those things are arranged in the home.

Most of Selby’s early pictures were of individuals most people

With his rock star good looks and glitzy resume (Charles Schwab, Google, EMI Music), you’d immediately presume that Douglas Merrill has got it all together; a hip dude for whom everything comes easy. And you’d be wrong.

First of all, he’s dyslexic and has had to struggle to learn and develop adaptive behaviors to get through life. He survived and thrived.

And later, after he’d managed to wriggle his way up the corporate ladder, he lost a beloved young life partner to cancer.

But neither of these items is in the forefront of this smart and useful little tome, though both inform nearly every page.

Merrill’s purported goal with this book is to show how he uses fairly simple online tools — most provided by his former employer, the ubiquitous Google — to do business and carry on with his life. He does that quite well, actually, and even though it’s a fairly subjective view, he’s objective enough to point out alternatives for different tasks and needs. Sometimes, in fact, he wholeheartedly endorses nonGoogle products. I’m not making this up.

After I first got a Gmail ac-

count when it was new, back in those days when you had to have an invitation, I immediately discovered that it was a great “place” to upload big files, and park and retrieve ’em later. In fact, I stored plenty of large work samples — audio, video, print and multimedia — as attachments, to simply transfer and ease submission to prospective employers when I found myself “seeking new opportunities.”

Similarly, Merrill writes expansively about tools like Google Documents and how they can be used collaboratively between and among employees and others.

While it’s not a perfect replacement for dedicated word processors like Microsoft’s venerable Word, it’s a decent enough substitute so that your content can live in the clouds (or on a server in Mountain View, Calif.) and you can work on it whenever you feel like it online.

Merrill also gives tips for sharing calendars, organizing files and using search. That’s the key, he says. Don’t bother organizing your files and folders. Just tag them with key words that you use for search terms to find on your computer, in the clouds or wherever. That’s the Google way.

Search and index everything. But Merrill ably explains how to do it and, more importantly, how it works, so it’s replicable and scalable for a variety of endeavors and applications.

“Incinerators are really the devil. Once you build a waste-to-energy plant, you then have to feed it. Our priority is pushing for zero waste.”

Garbage Continued from F1 Denmark now has 29 such plants, serving 98 municipalities in a country of 5.5 million people, and 10 more are planned or under construction. Across Europe, there are about 400 plants, with Denmark, Germany and the Netherlands leaders in expanding them and building new ones.

By contrast, no new waste-toenergy plants are being planned or built in the United States, the Environmental Protection Agency says — even though the federal government and 24 states now classify waste that is burned this way for energy as a renewable fuel, in many cases eligible for subsidies. There are only 87 trash-burning power plants in the United States, a country of more than 300 million people, and almost all were built at least 15 years ago.

Instead, distant landfills remain the end for most of the nation’s trash. New York City alone sends 10,500 tons of residential waste each day to landfills in places like Ohio and South Carolina.

“Europe has gotten out ahead with this newest technology,” said Ian Bowles, a former Clinton administration official who is now the Massachusetts state secretary of energy.

Still, Bowles said that as America’s current landfills topped out and pressure to reduce heat-trapping gases grew, Massachusetts and some other states were “actively considering” new waste-to-energy proposals; several existing plants are being expanded. He said he expected resistance all the same in a place where even a wind turbine sets off protests.

Why Americans are reluctant Matt Hale, director of the Office of Resource Conservation and Recovery of the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, said the reasons that waste-toenergy plants had not caught on nationally were the relative abundance of cheap landfills in a large country, opposition from state officials who feared the plants could undercut recycling programs and a “negative public perception.” In the United States, individual states and municipalities generally decide what method to use to get rid of their waste.

Still, a 2009 study by the EPA and North Carolina State University scientists came down strongly in favor of waste-to-energy plants over landfills as the most environmentally friendly destination for urban waste that cannot be recycled. Embracing the technology would not only reduce greenhouse gas emissions and local pollution but also yield copious electricity, it said.

Yet powerful environmental groups have fought the concept passionately. “Incinerators are really the devil,” said Laura Haight, a senior environmental associate with the New York Public Interest Research Group.

Investing in garbage as a green resource is simply perverse when governments should be mandating recycling, she said. “Once you build a wasteto-energy plant, you then have to feed it. Our priority is pushing for zero waste.”

The group has vigorously opposed building a plant in New York City.

Acceptance in Denmark Attitudes could hardly be more different in Denmark, where plants are placed in the communities they serve, no matter how affluent, so that the heat of burning garbage can be efficiently piped into homes.

Planners take pains to separate residential traffic from trucks delivering garbage, and some of the newest plants are encased in elaborate outer shells that resemble sculptures.

“New buyers are usually OK with the plant,” said Hans Rast, president of the homeowners’ association in Horsholm. “What they like is that they look out and see the forest,” he said. (The living rooms in this enclave of town houses face fields and trees, while the plant is roughly some 400 yards over a back fence that borders the homes’ carports).

SILENT NEIGHBOR A small waste-to-energy plant, which converts local trash into heat and electricity, is visible from a backyard in Horsholm, Denmark. “Constituents like it because it decreases heating costs and raises home values,” said Horsholm mayor Morten Slotved. “I’d like another furnace.”

The lower heating costs don’t hurt, either. Eighty percent of Horsholm’s heat and 20 percent of its electricity come from burning trash.

Many countries that are expanding waste-to-energy capacity, like Denmark and Germany, typically also have the highest recycling rates; only the material that cannot be recycled is burned.

Waste-to-energy plants do involve large upfront expenditures, and tight credit can be a big deterrent. Harrisburg, Pa., has been flirting with bankruptcy because of a $300 million loan it took to reopen and refit an old public incinerator with the new technology.

But hauling trash is expensive, too. New York City paid $307 million last year to export more than 4 million tons of waste, mostly to landfills in distant states, Post said. Although the city is trying to move more of its trash by train or barge, much of it travels by truck, with heavy fuel emissions.

In 2009, a small portion of the city’s trash was processed at two 1990-vintage waste-toenergy plants in Newark, N.J., and Hempstead, N.Y., owned by a private company, Covanta.

The city pays $65 a ton for the service — the cheapest available way for New York City to get rid of its trash. Sending garbage to landfills is more expensive: The city’s costliest current method is to haul waste by rail to a landfill in Virginia.

While new, state-of-the-art landfills do collect the methane that emanates from rotting garbage to make electricity, they churn out roughly twice as much climate-warming gas as wasteto-energy plants do for the units of power they produce, the 2009 EPA study found. Methane, the primary warming gas emitted by landfills, is about 20 times more potent than carbon dioxide, the gas released by burning garbage.

The study also concluded that waste-to-energy plants produced lower levels of pollutants than the best landfills did, but nine times the energy. Although new landfills are lined to prevent

leaks of toxic substances and often capture methane, the process is highly inefficient, the study noted.

Spurring technology In Europe, environmental laws have hastened the development of waste-to-energy programs.

The European Union severely restricts the creation of new landfill sites, and its nations already have binding commitments to reduce their carbon dioxide emissions by 2012 under the international pact known as the Kyoto Protocol, which was never ratified by the United States.

Garbage cannot easily be placed out of sight, out of mind in Europe’s smaller, densely populated countries, as it so often is in the United States. Many of the 87 waste-to-energy plants in the United States are in densely populated areas like Long Island and Cape Cod. While these plants are generally two decades old, many have been progressively retrofitted with new pollution filters, though few produce both heat and power like the newest Danish versions.

In Horsholm only 4 percent of waste now goes to landfills, and

1 percent (chemicals, paints and some electronic equipment) is consigned to “special disposal” in places like secure storage vaults in an abandoned salt mine in Germany. Sixty-one percent of the town’s waste is recycled and 34 percent is incinerated at waste-toenergy plants.

From a pollution perspective, today’s energy-generating incinerators have little in common with the smoke-belching models of the past. They have arrays of newly developed filters and scrubbers to capture the offending chemicals — hydrochloric acid, sulfur dioxide, nitrogen oxides, dioxins, furans and heavy metals — as well as small particulates.

Emissions from the plants in all categories have been reduced to just 10 to 20 percent of levels allowed under the European Union’s strict environmental standards for air and water discharges.

At the end of the incineration process, the extracted acids, heavy metals and gypsum are sold for use in manufacturing or construction. Small amounts of highly concentrated toxic substances, forming a paste, are shipped to one of two warehouses for highly hazardous materials, in the Norwegian fjords and in a

“The hazardous elements are concentrated and handled with care rather than dispersed as they would be in a landfill,” said Ivar Green-Paulsen, general manager of the Vestforbraending plant in Copenhagen, the country’s largest.

Waste to energy In Denmark, local governments run trash collection as well as the incinerators and recycling centers, and laws and financial incentives ensure that recyclable materials are not burned. (In the United States most waste-to-energy plants are private ventures.)

Communities may drop recyclable waste at recycling centers free of charge, but must pay to have garbage incinerated.

At Vestforbraending, trucks stop on scales for weighing and payment before dumping their contents. The trash is randomly searched for recyclable material,

with heavy fines for offenders.

The homeowners’ association in Horsholm has raised what Rast, its president, called “minor issues” with the plant, like a bright light on the chimney that shone into some bedrooms and occasional truck noise. But mostly, he said, it is a respected silent neighbor, producing no noticeable odors.

The plant, owned by five adjacent communities, has even proven popular in a conservative region with Denmark’s highest per-capita income. Morten Slotved, 40, Horsholm’s mayor, is trying to expand it. “Constituents like it because it decreases heating costs and raises home values,” he said with a smile. “I’d like another furnace.”

B U S I N E SS IN BRIEF Toyota discounts may keep for months Toyota Motor Corp. may maintain elevated U.S. discounts for months to draw buyers as the world’s biggest carmaker battles to recover its reputation for quality, according to industry analysts who track pricing and incentives.

Toyota began offering nointerest loans and discount leases on most models in early March, extending them this month. Toyota hasn’t said if the program will continue through May. “With what we can gather today, they’re going to have to continue this level of spending until 2011 models start to come in a meaningful way,” said Jesse Toprak, vice president of industry trends at forecaster TrueCar.com. “That could mean until about August.”

The discounts fueled a 41 percent U.S. sales gain for Toyota last month.

On retail’s coattails, hotels up incentives Free breakfasts don’t cut it anymore. The nation’s hotels, still in the grip of the downturn, are borrowing sales strategies from retailers — think private sales and limited-time bargains — to woo guests.

Hotels around the globe are relying on as many as five or more tactics to lure guests, according to a survey released last month by Cornell Nanyang Institute of Hospitality Management. Among the most popular tactics used by hotel managers are room discounts, extra night’s stays and value-added packages that include spa treatments, parking and meals.

Hotel guests who get in on these special sales can save as much as 60 percent on rooms, proprietors say.

30-year loan rate slips After rising for a month, the average interest rate offered for a 30-year fixed-rate home loan fell to 5.07 percent last week from 5.21 percent the week before, Freddie Mac says.

The retreat tracked the movement of the yield on the 10-year Treasury note, which shot up in late March and then spiked to 3.99 percent early last week before falling back a bit.

The 10-year T-note was yielding 3.85 percent on Thursday.

Real estate in Deschutes County continues to bounce along the bottom, according to a quarterly analysis of monthly data released in the March Bratton Report.

Sheree MacRitchie, president of the Central Oregon Association of Realtors, said that’s a good thing, as she believes it might prove to potential buyers who have been holding out in hopes of further price declines that the market has found its floor.

“Lots of people have been afraid (to buy), but we are at the bottom and starting to scramble up,” MacRitchie said.

In March, the median sales price for a single-family home in Bend was $199,000, up close to 5 percent from the February median sales price of $190,000.

On a quarterly basis, the $199,000 median March sales price was down close to 3 percent from the December 2009 median sales price of $205,000.

Since December 2008, the median sales price of a singlefamily home in Bend has hovered around $200,000, the report shows, notching a high of $233,000 in January 2009 and a low of $189,000 in January 2010.

The Bratton Report is compiled by the Bend-based Bratton Appraisal Group. It does not include sales data for townhomes, condominiums, manufactured homes or homes on an acre or more.

Larry Wallace, a mortgage broker with True North Mortgage in Bend, takes a different view of the city’s low median price, believing it has been artificially depressed by the government’s tax-credit incentives.

Banking’s ‘public option’ The Bank of North Dakota might offer unique lessons for a regulatory overhaul

The Associated Press file photo

Facebook has struggled between expanding profits and protecting user privacy.

By Jake Grovum Stateline.org

As Congress returns to writing a bill overhauling regulation of the banking industry, some states are pondering homegrown solutions to the credit crisis. And for inspiration, they’re looking to a place that is far away from Wall Street in more ways than one: North Dakota.

North Dakota operates the country’s only state-run bank. The Bank of North Dakota makes loans to businesses and to other banks, and has come to be seen both in and out of the state as a beacon of economic stability and financial independence. Then there’s the revenue: The bank has turned over $350 million in profits to North Dakota’s general fund since 1997.

But despite the interest and the bank’s success, the question other states are trying to answer is whether the model — and the benefits — are exportable.

Facebook’s latest fracas Users tout privacy even as the Web site may bargain it away in a hunt for profits

By Rob Pegoraro The Washington Post

The signs of a new season surround us: Flowers are blooming, trees are budding and another Facebook privacy fracas is brewing.

The last event kicked off in March, when the popular social network posted a note on its blog about “working with some partner Web sites that we pre-approve to offer a more personalized expe-

rience” at those sites.

This possible change didn’t exactly get a charitable read in reactions like “Facebook’s Plan to Automatically Share Your Data With Sites You Never Signed Up For,” and “Facebook Planning to Give Away Your Data to ‘Partners.’”

How bad could things get for the 400 million-plus Facebook users when this test begins a few months from now?

The potential downside seems obvious. You’ll see that some random site knows who your Facebook friends are and fret about other once-private information Facebook might be leaking.

But what will you be able to do when so much of your life is tied up there?

t was like flogging before execution.

That’s how Terry Cochran, former president and CEO of The Dallesbased Columbia River Bank, described the period between when regulators ordered the bank to raise its capital early last year and its shutdown in January. With about $1.1 billion in assets, it was the largest of four Oregon banks closed so far.

“It was harassment,” said Cochran, who lives in Bend.

He painted a picture of Federal Deposit Insurance Corp. regulators seemingly more inclined to hinder the bank than help it pull itself up. That’s not to say, in hindsight, that the bank wouldn’t have made some different lending decisions.

“I can’t say government caused all our problems ... but once we were in trouble, we sure didn’t get much help,” he said.

Looking back, the bank had too high of a concentration in real estate development in Bend and, to a slightly lesser extent, Vancouver, Wash. Money loaned to about 30 large real estate developers proved problematic because as they couldn’t sell homes or make bank payments, appraised values on their property also plummeted, forcing loan charge-offs that continued as each subsequent appraisal came in lower. Bank capital eroded.

The bank wasn’t lending to “marginal, fly-by-night contractors,” Cochran said.

“When the economy collapsed, most of them collapsed with it.”

Cochran, who joined the then young and much smaller bank as CEO in 1981, when it was also operating under an order to raise capital, steered the bank through times similar to now, when contractors were out of business, but when interest rates were sky-high. He borrowed money from his mother, and passed the hat among board members and private shareholders to raise the necessary money. The bank then hummed along for the next 20 years, and Cochran retired in 2001 at age 56. But in fall 2008, with the bank needing capital and just months before the FDIC order, the board asked Cochran to try and repeat what he had done nearly 30 years earlier.

While he found regulators helpful then, he said he found the opposite in Act II. He said the bank was prevented from selling branches to raise money, buried in regulatory paperwork, saw its FDIC insurance premiums soar from $272,000 in 2007 to $849,000 in ‘08 and to about $6 million in ‘09, and was prevented from doing things that would have improved its profitability. The bank also was being shopped and Cochran believes it could have sold, but he said the FDIC’s posture with troubled banks has “destroyed the merger and acquisition market.”

Nobody will buy a troubled bank when they can wait until it’s shut down and let the FDIC guarantee large chunks of the bank’s loans, meaning there’s much less risk for the buyer, Cochran said.

After the FDIC was appointed receiver of the bank, Tacoma, Wash.-based Columbia State Bank emerged the winning bidder among four banks. The deal was done at an estimated cost to the FDIC insurance fund of $172.5 million.

Cochran said Columbia River Bank could have survived had it gotten money from the Troubled Asset Relief Program, which the bank sought in 2008 and was rejected. The bank also had two investors willing to invest $30 million if it got $30 million in TARP funds, yet the bank would have been OK with TARP only, he said. But the Treasury didn’t give TARP money to banks that needed it, he said.

FDIC spokesman Greg Hernandez, who couldn’t address specifics about Cochran’s complaints, said the FDIC and bank agreed on a road map to follow when the bank got its order last year to improve operations. “The FDIC doesn’t want to see any bank failures,” he said.

“But in this case, the FDIC did everything it could for this particular institution” and when it’s clear a bank can’t meet regulators’ criteria, the end concern is protecting depositors, he said. The bank was put on the FDIC’s troubled list in November 2008 and not closed until Jan. 22, 2010.

“That alone says a lot,” Hernandez said.

As for how banks are treated, Hernandez said FDIC “examinations have a protocol that’s followed” by statute, and banks are treated the same. As for a bank’s perceptions about that, “I can’t comment on how they would see it.”

Cochran said the bank could have easily operated at least another year, perhaps time enough for the economy and bank’s capital position to improve. When asked by regulators the evening of Jan. 22 what caused the bank’s failure, he cited the usual broader economic problems, but told them, “There’s no need for us to fail.”

After iPad, rivals offer hybrid hand-helds

By Ashlee Vance and Nick Bilton New York Times News Service

Just as Apple’s iPhone shook up a complacent cell phone industry, the company’s iPad is provoking PC makers — and non-PC makers — to fight back with new devices.

Google — a search and advertising company — is soon expected to begin selling its version of a slate computer, like Apple’s iPad, while Nokia — the world’s biggest cell phone maker — is planning to enter the digital book market through a slate-cum-e-reader as well.

Microsoft, the maker of computer software, is flirting with the idea of selling its own version of a slate, joining traditional computer companies like Hewlett-Packard that have already committed to such products.

In part, these companies are feeling the pressure to respond to the iPad, which went on sale April 3. But their decisions to develop the hybrid products also demonstrate their desire to expand their core businesses, and to experiment with varying kinds of business models and technologies.

For consumers, it could all be good, as more companies offer their version of the slate, a new breed of consumer electronics, in a design free-for-all. The products, which will generally cost less than $600, provide different, and in some cases unusual, features that reflect the companies’ visions of what matters most to people.

“We’re living in extremely exciting times right now,” said Olli-Pekka Kallasvuo, the chief executive of Nokia. “It’s quite challenging to define what industry we are in because everything is changing.”

Historically, Microsoft has been the biggest champion of tablet computers, which let people scrawl on a computer screen with a stylus just as they would on paper. And over the last few

The 5-inch tablet by Dell, left, and the new slate device by Hewlett-Packard. Google, Microsoft, Nokia and HP, among other companies, are developing products that show a desire to expand beyond their respective core businesses and compete with the Apple iPad in the hybrid hand-held market. years, the big makers of personal computers, like HP and Dell, have taken Microsoft’s software and built such tablets. But their devices have been similar, and limited in what they offer. The software, based on Microsoft Windows, never seemed flexible enough to fit a variety of mobile computers.

Now there is much more software and hardware available to build low-cost, capable, hand-held devices, called slates, that are thinner, lighter and typically omit physical keyboards altogether.

Apple, Google and Nokia all have their own software platforms, with Intel, Nvidia, Qualcomm, Broadcom and Marvell rushing to provide the chips for this next wave of products.

Meanwhile, Microsoft is considering building its own slate hard-

ware to try to offer as cohesive a package as Apple and the other competitors.

Apple says it sold more than 450,000 iPads in the first few days after the device was available. Consumers were drawn to Apple’s cachet and the fresh approach to computing that the iPad represents, with its elevation of a touch screen and entertainment over a keyboard and productivity.

But commentators and consumers have also been talking about what the iPad lacks — for example, a camera and the ability to display much of the Web’s entertainment content, like videos, if presented in the Flash format.

The iPad has also been criticized for its inability to allow users to multitask, but the company announced last week that it will

have that ability in the fall. Another drawback to the iPad is that it relies on a cell phone chip, with less horsepower than a computer chip.

HP’s version of the iPad is expected to be released by midyear.

Notably, it will have a camera, as well as ports for add-on devices, like a mouse. It also will, the company says in a promotional video, “run the complete Internet,” including videos and other entertainment.

Phil McKinney, the chief technology officer in HP’s personal systems group, said in a recent interview that the company had been working on its tablet for five years. It delayed releasing the product, he said, until the price could be lower.

partment has been trickling out online videos of the device.

This kind of early marketing is a change for HP, which rarely talks about yet-to-be released products.

McKinney, however, said HP has felt little pressure from Apple’s early move and will release its slate when it is ready.

Acer, Dell and Lenovo all have slates in the works as well. But Apple may face the biggest risk from the offerings of nontraditional computer makers.

Google, for example, has been working with several hardware manufacturers to push its Android software, which was originally designed for mobile phones and is a direct competitor to Apple’s iPhone operating system. The company also hopes to make its own apps marketplace available for new slate-like devices.

But Google is going one step further, exploring the idea of building its own slate, an ereader that would function like a computer.

Eric Schmidt, chief executive of Google, told friends at a recent party in Los Angeles about the new device, which would exclusively run the Android operating system.

People with direct knowledge of the project — who did not want to be named because they said they were unauthorized to speak publicly about the device — said the company has been experimenting in “stealth mode” with a few publishers to explore delivery of books, magazines and other content on a tablet.

HP is also working on a slate that would run the Android system; this has been nicknamed “the half-pint,” because it measures about 6 inches diagonally, smaller than the iPad.

Tapping into added savings

By Gregory Karp McClatchy-Tribune News Service

If the recession has you feeling more tapped out, use less out of your tap.

Reducing water use is a nice way to feel green, especially as Earth Day approaches its 40th anniversary Thursday, and it can keep some cash in your pocket.

The average American household uses 260 gallons of water a day. Potential savings from a few free and cheap actions total hundreds of dollars per year.

Here are some of the best, and some unusual, ways to save money on water, indoors and out.

• Milk-jug your toilet: Fill a half-gallon plastic milk jug with water and affix the cap. Flush the toilet and place the jug in the tank, away from moving parts.

This will save half a gallon per flush. Use pebbles or sand in the bottom of the jug if it doesn’t stay put. Toilets use more water than anything else in a house, accounting for nearly 30 percent of indoor water use, according to the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency.

• Think “on and off”: Continuous flow uses more water than intermittent use. Turn the faucet on and off while brushing teeth, shaving, scrubbing kitchen pans and soaping the car.

• Use less: It’s obvious, but shorter showers and running the dishwasher and clothes washer only when full helps.

• Let your grass grow: Use a higher wheel setting on your lawn mower — 3 inches or more.

Taller grass retains moisture better, requiring less watering. And it inhibits weed growth, saving money on weed-killer.

• Fix leaks: It’s a no-brainer to fix leaky faucets, but your toilet might be leaking without you knowing and wasting 200 gallons a day, or about 50 flushes worth. Place a drop of dark food coloring in the tank. If it reaches the bowl within 15 minutes, you have a leak worth fixing.

• Get WaterSense: The EPA has a relatively new program called WaterSense for labeling plumbing fixtures certified to save water, about 20 percent on average. It’s similar to the EnergyStar label for products that use electricity efficiently. The label goes on water-efficient models of such fixtures as toilets, sink faucets and showerheads. Learn

THE BULLETIN • Sunday, April 18, 2010 G3

Bank Continued from G1 “I still have my doubts that it will be,” Bank of North Dakota President and CEO Eric Hardmeyer said. “It’s important that they look at the model and understand what works for us might not work for them.”

Bills intended to create similar state-run banks or study the idea are being discussed in Hawaii, Illinois, Massachusetts, Virginia and Washington state. Five more states have contacted the Bismarck-based bank in hopes of learning more about how the bank’s 168 employees straddle the line between public benefit and private enterprise.

The North Dakota model has been evolving since the day the bank’s doors opened in 1919 with $2 million in capital. Originally intended to help farmers by increasing access to farm loans, the bank now operates with more than $270 million in capital and has branched out to many other kinds of financing. It provides residential and student loans and also operates as a banker’s bank, providing funds to private-sector lenders that choose to keep an account.

A normal bank?

Thinkstock

The average American household uses 260 gallons of water a day.

Potential savings from a few free and cheap actions total hundreds of dollars per year. more at epa.gov/watersense.

• Don’t rinse dishes: You don’t need to rinse dishes before loading them in the dishwasher. Not rinsing could save 6,500 gallons of water per year.

• Use sink disposal sparingly: Using the garbage disposal requires a lot of water. Instead, put food waste in a compost pile, which reduces the need for fertilizer.

• Water smart outdoors: Water in the cool morning to reduce evaporation and aim sprinklers at plants. Use drip hoses where appropriate.

• Do the math: Some appliances, notably a new clothes washer,

will not pay for themselves in water savings alone. But combined with electricity savings, you might save $135 a year over a decade-old washer, says Consumer Reports. Add in such tax incentives as cash for appliance clunkers (see energysavers.gov) and incentives from states and utilities and you can get your money back quickly.

One circumstance where you should use as much tap water as possible? For drinking. It’s a far better choice than bottled water for your wallet and the environment. Keep a gallon in the refrigerator rather than running the faucet until water gets cold.

Despite its growth, there’s no secret to the way the bank operates, Hardmeyer said. In many ways, it’s like a normal bank.

Day-to-day operations are headed by an executive committee that consists of Hardmeyer and the heads of lending, banking, accounting, student loans, human resources and information technology. The bank’s finances are regularly scoured by external auditors, who are procured through the state auditor’s

office in a bidding process.

But there are some ways the Bank of North Dakota is unlike a normal bank. Deposits aren’t backed by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation. Rather, they’re backed by the full faith and credit of the state.

What’s more, the bank’s top leaders are picked and overseen by the governor, the attorney general and the agriculture commissioner — all elected officials who make up the North Dakota Industrial Commission. To minimize the possibility of political meddling, the bank publishes annual and quarterly reports detailing its finances.

Driven by economics What’s driving interest nationally isn’t the bank’s organizational structure or its storied history.

It’s economics. North Dakota currently has the nation’s lowest unemployment rate at 4.1 percent.

The state’s budget is running a surplus — something almost unheard of in a time of historic budget deficits in most capitals.

And the bank’s profits help pad that surplus. In today’s climate, just one of those reasons might be enough to fuel a push for a state-run bank. But for those advocating the idea in other states, the benefits are obvious.

“Where’s the downside?” asked Virg Bernero, the Democratic mayor of Lansing, Mich., who’s running for governor. In his campaign, Bernero has proposed starting a state-run bank to jump-start lending to businesses and job creation. “We have some good things bubbling up throughout Michigan, and we have some great, successful businesses. But they’re having a hell of a time because of the banks.”

Still, North Dakota’s economy is unusual compared to the rest

your life. The six-week workshop and the book “Living a Healthy Life with Chronic Conditions” costs only $10.

Continued from G1 Through April 30, first-time homebuyers qualify for an $8,000 tax credit and existing homeowners who buy a new home can qualify for a $6,500 tax credit.

“People think the median price has a tendency to represent the whole market but … we have two markets, the low-end market for people who qualify for the tax credits and the high-end market where an $8,000 tax credit is really inconsequential,” Wallace said. “One (market) is very active and one is dead.”

Of the 144 single-family homes in Bend sold in March, 62.5 percent of them sold for $250,000 or less. On a quarterly basis, more than 67 percent of single-family homes in Bend sold for $250,000 or less.

“Nobody’s bought anything in the upper end, so in the whole market the price fell, only because of all the activity in the lower range,” Wallace said.

Wallace thinks the median sales price will rise after the taxcredit program ends April 30.

In Redmond, the median sales price for a single-family residence rose in March to $127,000 from $126,000 in February, an increase of less than 1 percent.

On a quarterly basis, the Redmond median sales price dropped from $137,000 in December, or a decrease of more than 7 percent.

According to the report, Redmond’s median sales price has hovered around $130,000 since October, with a December high of $137,000 and a low of $120,000 in January.

In other areas of the county, median sales prices rose slightly from the fourth quarter of 2009 to the first quarter of 2010.

In Sisters, the median sales price rose to $296,000 from

$280,000, an increase of 5.7 percent. In Sunriver, the median sales price rose to $455,000 from $402,000, an increase of 13.2 percent. In La Pine, the median sales price rose to $121,000 from $91,000, an increase of 33 percent.

In Jefferson County and Crooked River Ranch, the median sales price rose to $87,000 from $80,000, an increase of 8.8 percent. In Crook County, the median sales price fell to $95,000 from $110,000, a decrease of 13.6 percent.

On a quarterly basis, sales numbers were mixed.

In Bend, 353 homes sold in the first quarter of 2010 compared with 513 sold in the final quarter of 2009, a decrease of 31.2 percent. On a yearly basis, 353 Bend homes sold in the first quarter of 2010, which was up 54.2 percent from the 229 homes sold in the first quarter of 2009.

MacRitchie again cited the tax credits for the boost in sales. She said she has not heard much talk from Realtors about lobbying Congress to extend the tax credits again. They were originally slated to expire Nov. 30 but were extended.

However, MacRitchie said she feels confident the market will be able to keep the momentum the tax credits gave it and believes home values will rise, despite the number of foreclosures that are likely to enter the market.

There were 1,090 notices of default filed in Deschutes County in the first quarter of 2010, the most ever on a quarterly basis.

“Those are going to help buyers for sure,” MacRitchie said. “It increases our inventory, but many of those sales have multiple offers, so there is a real positiveness out there that we didn’t have two years ago.”

of the country, and certainly compared with Michigan, where the unemployment rate stands at 14.1 percent. North Dakota’s economy is based on agriculture and natural resources, not a manufacturing industry that’s been pummeled by the recession and globalization.

“It is true that North Dakota enjoys a billion-dollar budget surplus,” Republican State Sen. Tom George, who also is running for governor in Michigan, said in a March statement on the Senate floor. “But this is not because it has a state-chartered bank. It is because it has a strong economy based on agriculture, not manufacturing.”

The idea of starting state-run banks doesn’t sit well with many private banks, either. Chris Cole, senior vice president and senior regulatory counsel at Independent Community Bankers of America, said lending to small businesses is making a comeback and has been keeping up with demand from qualified applicants.

Further, he cautions that launching a state-run bank in an economically complex state would bring its own set of problems such as having to choose between investing in one industry versus another. “There’s just no reason for the government to get into the business of banking.”

Still, some states seem interested. Last week, the Hawaii House approved a resolution asking the state to study the possibility of establishing a state-run bank there.

Democrat Marcus Oshiro, who chairs the finance committee, called a state-run bank a “reasonable public option” to spur development and hold state funds.

“The states have been impacted by the Wall Street bailout and fallout,” he said. “This is the perfect opportunity for states to be at the cutting edge.”

Analysis: Immigrants earning high wages

By Julia Preston New York Times News Service

ST. LOUIS — After a career as a corporate executive with her name in brass on the office door, Amparo Kollman-Moore, an immigrant from Colombia, likes to drive a Jaguar and shop at Saks.

“It was a good life,” she said, “a really good ride.”

As a member of this city’s economic elite, Kollman-Moore is not unusual among immigrants who live in St. Louis. According to a new analysis of census data, more than half of the working immigrants in this metropolitan area hold higher-paying white-collar jobs — as professionals, technicians or administrators — rather than lower-paying blue-collar and service jobs.

Among American cities, St. Louis is not an exception, the data show. In 14 of the 25 largest metropolitan areas, including Boston, New York and San Francisco, more immigrants are employed in white-collar occupations than in lower-wage work like construction, manufacturing or cleaning.

The data belie a common perception in the nation’s hard-fought debate over immigration that the surge in immigration in the last two decades has overwhelmed the United States with low-wage foreign laborers.

Over all, the analysis showed, the 25 million immigrants who live in the country’s largest metropolitan areas (about two-thirds of all immigrants in the country) are nearly evenly distributed across the job and income spectrum.

“The United States is getting a more varied and economically important flow of immigrants than the public seems to realize,” said David Dyssegaard Kallick, director for immigration research at the Fiscal Policy Institute, a nonpartisan group in New York that conducted the data analysis

Facebook Continued from G1 As Sherry Turkle, a sociologist at Massachusetts Institute of Technology, said in an e-mail Thursday: “There is a sense of the ‘investment’ in Facebook being so great that one is beholden to it. … This is not empowering.”

(Before I go further, a few disclaimers: Washington Post Co. Chairman and Chief Executive Donald Graham sits on Facebook’s board of directors; Facebook’s chief privacy officer, Chris Kelly, who resigned to run for political office, is a friend of mine from college; and many Post staffers, myself included, use public Facebook pages to connect with readers.)

The upside isn’t quite as clear.

In a recent phone interview, Facebook spokesman Barry Schnitt and Product Director Bret Taylor said the Palo Alto, Calif., company wanted to expand its utility. In this experiment, Facebook would build on its Facebook Connect system (in which people can sign into sites such as the Post’s with their Facebook accounts) to help other companies greet Facebook users with a taste of its social network.

For example, Taylor suggested that if a Facebook friend posted a link to a song on his wall and you clicked over to the record label’s site, the label could tell you which Facebook pals liked the song.

This test would come with limits. You’d have to be logged in to Facebook in the same browser to get any such personalized welcome elsewhere, less than 10

Sandy Tsai, 59, business owner and immigrant, center, visits one of her factories in St. Louis. In 14 of the 25 largest metropolitan areas, more immigrants are employed in white-collar occupations than in lower-wage work, according to a new analysis of census data. for The New York Times.

The findings are significant because Americans’ views of immigration are based largely on the work immigrants do, new research shows.

“Americans, whether they are rich or poor, are much more in favor of high-skilled immigrants,” said Jens Hainmueller, a political scientist at MIT and co-author of a survey on attitudes toward immigration with Michael Hiscox, professor of government at Har-

vard. The survey of 1,600 adults, which examined the reasons for anti-immigration sentiment in the United States, was published in February in American Political Science Review.

Americans are inclined to welcome upper-tier immigrants, believing they contribute to economic growth without burdening public services, the study found.

More than 60 percent of Americans are opposed to allowing more low-skilled foreign laborers,

regarding them as more likely to be a drag on the economy.

Those kinds of views, in turn, have informed recent efforts by Congress to remake the immigration system. A measure unveiled last month by Sen. Lindsey Graham, R-S.C., and Sen. Charles Schumer D-N.Y., aims to reshape the legal system to give priority to high-skilled, high-earning immigrants, offering narrower channels for low-wage workers.

Yet, while visa bottlenecks per-

sites would be invited into the program at first, and each of them would have to let you easily opt out (after which each would have to delete any data Facebook had shared about you). Facebook would also provide a universal opt-out for the entire program.

To its credit, Facebook hasn’t tried to spring this change on people. Beyond that blog post, it has invited users to comment on proposed changes to its privacy policy and “statement of rights and responsibilities” — then provided a marked-up version of each showing text that has been removed and added, a step few other sites bother to take.

of the way living in a big city affords some enforced anonymity.

Some might have learned to think like publicists on Facebook.

They dial back how much information they post, they only write status updates that beg for publicity (think of all the political manifestos you’ve seen), or they create second accounts for their work identities (an action Facebook’s user agreement prohibits).

only shares some of his profile information with everyone.”)

But even if all of those theories are true, changing the rules to share people’s information without advance permission crosses a line. If the benefits of this openness are as obvious as Facebook suggests, this new option should sell itself to the same people who let Google’s computers read their Gmail, then publicize their pastimes on Foursquare. And if this experiment is as limited as Facebook suggests, the company won’t forgo much revenue if it eases off on its launch.

In the meantime, I’ll stay on the site — as a journalist, it’s implausible not to. But it would help to see some sign that this company will go to the mat to defend its users’ rights, even if that means jeopardizing its profits. It’s not too late for Facebook to pick a fight with China, is it?

Small percentage changes settings The reaction to that prior disclosure could indicate how worked up people really are about the changes. The relevant part of the new privacy policy, “Information You Share With Third Parties,” had drawn only 211 comments early Thursday.

More important, consider what’s happened since Facebook made far more user data public by default in December. According to Schnitt, 33.9 percent of Facebook users had changed their privacy settings one way or another, even though the site required all of them to confirm, decline or edit its suggested options. Since then, 50 million more people have joined Facebook.

You can’t chalk all of that up to audience obliviousness.

Perhaps Facebook users have decided that with so many people on the site, their own data gets lost in the collective noise — sort

Do Facebook users not want privacy?

Or maybe Facebook’s executives are correct in assuming that people don’t want as much privacy online, as founder Mark Zuckerberg said in January.

(He did not say that privacy was dead, nor does he seem to think that; his own Facebook profile informs strangers that “Mark

sist for high-skilled immigrants, on the whole, the census data show, the current system has brought a range of foreign workers across skill and income levels.

The analysis suggests, moreover, that the immigrants played a central role in the cycle of the economic growth of cities over the last two decades.

Cities with thriving immigrant populations tended to be those that prospered the most.

“Economic growth in urban

areas has been clearly connected with an increase in immigrants’ share of the local labor force,” Kallick said.

The analysis showed the growing cities were not the ones, like St. Louis, that drew primarily high-earning foreigners. In fact, the St. Louis area had one of the slowest-growing economies.

Rather, the fastest economic growth between 1990 and 2008 was in cities like Atlanta, Denver and Phoenix that received large influxes of immigrants with a mix of occupations.

The figures on jobs and earnings of immigrants in American cities are based on an analysis by the Fiscal Policy Institute of census data for the 25 largest metropolitan areas from 1990 to 2008. The data from 2008 are the most current in-depth census statistics on immigrants’ places of residence and earnings; they also include the first year of the severe recession. The analysis includes legal and illegal immigrants and naturalized citizens.

Immigrants from China have also prospered here as entrepreneurs, creating jobs for other immigrants. Sandy Tsai, 59, said she and her husband chose St. Louis to start a business because they noticed it was in the middle of the country. Now their company, Baily, makes egg rolls, noodles and fortune cookies in three local factories that distribute to thousands of Chinese restaurants nationwide. Tsai said her employees ranged from egg-roll makers earning $8 an hour to laboratory researchers with advanced degrees in food science.

“It’s a good group, a good combination,” Tsai said. But despite the hard times in St. Louis, lowwage workers have not always been easy to find, she said, and her business expansion was slowed because of it.

At 8 years, a choice: Spend on a new car or do maintenance?

By Paul Brand Minneapolis Star Tribune

Q:

I bought my 2002 Buick LeSabre new, and it’s probably the best car I’ve ever owned.

It now has more than 100,000 miles on it, and I plan to keep it and use it as my main car.

Should I start replacing things like spark plugs, spark plug wires or shocks? All are original; nothing has been changed. I’ve always lived by “if it ain’t broke, don’t fix it.”

I’ve always lived by “take care of it, and it will last.”

Which one of us is right and which is lucky?

Your LeSabre has given you great service for the first eight years, but now you’ve got two choices: Sell it now before you spend any money, or invest in major maintenance. The 100,000mile service schedule in my Alldata automotive database calls for replacing the air filter, cabin filter, transmission fluid and filter, spark plugs and, because it’s been eight years, engine coolant.

Anticipate new shocks or struts, battery, exhaust system and muffler, brakes and tires as well.

A:

Q:

I have a 1989 VW Fox that seems to run hot. The car has 205,000 miles on it, and I enjoy driving it. The temperature gauge runs close to “hot,” even though I’ve replaced the fan and temperature sensor, which both seem to work. A mechanic told me that the thermostat is in the radiator and is working properly.

I read in your column that the cooling system must be “burped” when it is refilled. Could air be trapped in the system?

Possibly, but typical symptoms of this are large fluctuations in the temp gauge caused by air reaching the water pump impeller and momentarily stalling coolant flow. On your Fox, you can bleed the cooling system by removing the thermal time switch mounted on the top of the coolant hose junction block on the spark-plug side of the engine while the engine is cold. Slowly add coolant until it escapes from the opening, then reinstall the switch.

A:

But before you get too far into this, check the actual coolant operating temperature with either a scan tool reading the temperature sensor or an infrared temperature gun aimed at the upper radiator outlet on the engine. If the thermostat is opening properly, this should read roughly 200 to 220 degrees. By the way, the thermostat’s housing is on the bottom of the water pump.

If operating temperatures are stable but higher than normal, use the infrared gun to check coolant temperature as it works its way through the radiator. Sediment might be restricting coolant flow through some of the core tubes toward the bottom of the radiator. Removing and having the radiator professionally cleaned — or replaced — would help this.

And finally, make sure the radiator fan is mounted correctly to force air through the radiator and that the A/C condenser and radiator are clean and free of debris.

Q:

I have a 2005 Chevy Tahoe that has developed a whining sound under the hood. At times the whine will abate somewhat and then will be noticeably profound, especially when starting the engine and when reaching 35 to 40 miles per hour. Also, I noticed the Tahoe has a transmission fluid leak when parked on a steep incline. Is it possible that this may cause the whine?

Yes, if the transmission fluid is low. Keep the fluid level topped up and see if the whine goes away. Other items to check are the belt-driven accessories — alternator, water pump, power steering pump, A/C compressor and idler pulley — and the serpentine belt itself. A mechanic’s stethoscope could help pinpoint the culprit.

Korean auto brands find their own styles

By Phil Patton New York Times News Service

With savvy marketing to value-driven consumers, Kia and Hyundai have been reporting big sales gains in a sluggish market. Simultaneously, the Korean automakers have been honing their own signature styles — a point reinforced by new models introduced at the New York auto show this month — and are becoming visually desirable rivals to Japanese, American and even German brands.

Not long ago, few would have given any Kia a second look. But the 2011 Optima was “undoubtedly the star of the show,” Eric Galina wrote on the Web site of Car Design News. The Optima and another redesigned Kia that made its debut in New York, the 2011 Sportage crossover, expand

on a look already on the streets in the form of the small Forte sedan, the sporty Forte Koup and the jaunty Soul.

After years of turning out generic knockoffs of Japanese best-sellers, Kia began its design awakening in 2006 when it hired Peter Schreyer, a German who had been Audi’s head designer, as its design director.

The state of Hyundai design was represented at the show by two versions of its midsize Sonata, a hybrid and the turbo 2.0T, and by the high-end Equus.

The Sonata uses a design language that Hyundai calls “fluid sculpture.” Hyundai’s executive vice president for design, Suk Geun Oh, has promised that the company’s designs will be not simple, but provocative and aggressive.

General Motors

The 2010 Buick LaCrosse CXS with HiPer Strut suspension shows that the taxpayers’ investment in General Motors was a good one.

Buick LaCrosse: Our tax investment in GM is safe

By Warren Brown Special to The Washington Post

WASHINGTON — When a company drops nearly $4 billion and sees that loss as a sign of a brighter future, you know it’s been traveling a rough road.

That’s what General Motors did last week amid the usual derisive laughter, jokes and taxpayer moaning about how “we’ll never get our money back” from the $50 bilR E V I E W lion federal bailout of GM. But I’m a taxpayer who has been looking at GM differently.

To wit: What is the company doing in the essential business of its business, the business of designing, developing, manufacturing, and selling cars and trucks?

GM, after all, is an automotive company, something it forgot for too long, from the 1970s through the 1990s. And by forgetting, it squandered a legacy built car after beautiful car, with innovation to boot, during its pre- and postWorld War II heydays.

For the past three years, through the brutal pummeling of GM executives on Capitol Hill as they sought government handouts, and through GM’s blitzkrieg bankruptcy, I’ve been paying close attention to what the company and its people have been doing in the business of their business. In that, I found reason for belief in a GM that will be a profitable, attractive, innovative force in the global autoServing Central Oregon Since 1946

CREATIVE LIGHTING 541-382-0968 635 SE BUSINESS WAY • BEND, OR 97702

2010 Buick LaCrosse CXS Base price: $33,015 As tested: $36,000 Type: Front-engine, frontwheel-drive midsize luxury family sedan Engine: 3.6-liter, doubleoverhead-cam, 24-valve engine linked to an electronically controlled six-speed transmission.

Mileage: 17 mpg city, 26 mpg highway mobile industry.

Consider, for example, this week’s subject car, the 2010 Buick LaCrosse CXS with HiPer Strut suspension.

When the LaCrosse car line was introduced in 2005, it was a welcome improvement over what GM had been doing with its North American Buick brand, a repository of automotive mediocrity. The 2005 Buick LaCrosse was exceptionally well made and outfitted with a pretty interior.

But there was something about its ovoid exterior styling, workaday 3-liter and 3.8-liter V-6 engines, and less-than-impressive handling that were decidedly Michigan Mainstream.

The old GM, embracing the notion that some progress is better than none, would have been satisfied with that. The new GM isn’t.

Within the space of four years, GM has upgraded the Buick LaCrosse, as evidenced by the beauty and road performance of the CXS with HiPer Strut suspension, a full-size luxury family sedan that goes on sale in May. Starting at $33,015, it beats any comparably priced car from BMW, Lexus or Infiniti in terms of overall value, quality, comfort, safety and performance. Please don’t argue with me on this point until you’ve driven all of the cited brands side by side.

What pleases me about the new GM is its increasing attention to detail, as evidenced by the suspension innovation on the new CXS. The value of HiPer Strut (High Performance Strut), a front-suspension component, is best described by what it prevents the driver from feeling. That sudden, jerky twisting of the steering wheel as the car traverses bumps and potholes is nearly gone, depending on the severity of the road’s imperfection.

You often hear the term “torque steer” in discussions of the front-end behavior of frontwheel-drive cars upon acceleration. It refers to the often directionally aberrant behavior of front wheels that are being asked to do two things at once under the stress of acceleration: steer and drive. The LaCrosse CXS’s HiPer Strut technology greatly reduces torque steer.

In the end, what we have is a car that drives so well, you want ALWAYS STIRRING UP SOMETHING GOOD

to keep on driving it, as I did. If you drive it once, you’ll want to buy it. And that is the point, isn’t it? This one is going to sell.

From what I’ve seen of the new GM behind the scenes, GM is going to repeat that performance with a raft of other cars — the Chevrolet Cruze, Buick Regal and Cadillac CTS-V, among others. It is how we as U.S. taxpayers will get our money back from GM. I firmly believe we can count on a return.

The bottom line Ride, acceleration and handling: Excellent ride and acceleration.

Handling is best in class. See for yourself. Drive it.

Head-turning quotient: It easily beats anything from Lexus inside and out. Let’s put them side by side on some mild, azure day and compare. Again, see for yourself.

Capacities: Seats for five. Maximum cargo capacity is 13 cubic feet. Fuel capacity is 18.4 gallons of recommended regular unleaded.

Safety: Standard equipment includes four-wheel disc brakes (ventilated front, solid rear), emergency braking assistance, electronic stability and traction control, side and head air bags.
