Our Ducks of old Past University of Oregon football players with Central Oregon ties reflect on their school’s shot at winning the national championship — long a team goal

By Mark Morical • The Bulletin n spring 2007, several former University of Oregon football players gathered for dinner at the home of longtime UO offensive line coach Steve Greatwood after an alumni golf tournament in Eugene.

Chip Kelly, then an offensive coordinator in his first year at Oregon, posed a question to the former players.

“Kelly asked us, ‘What do you think our goals should be at Oregon?’” recalled Bend’s John Nehl, a punter and backup quarterback

for the Ducks in the mid-1970s. “We said, ‘Beat the Beavers, the Dawgs (Washington Huskies), and get to the Rose Bowl.’ We looked at Coach Kelly and asked, ‘What do you think our goals should be?’ He said, ‘To win a national championship.’

“I almost swallowed my cigar.”

Now Oregon, with Kelly as head coach, is on the cusp of reaching that ambitious goal, as the Ducks are set to take on Auburn in the BCS National Championship Game in Glen-

dale, Ariz., on Monday night.

Nehl’s story is just one of many shared recently with The Bulletin by 16 former Oregon players with ties to Central Oregon.

Some of the players we tracked down were born and raised in Central Oregon, such as Nehl. Others moved to the area after their football careers, most notably Pro Football Hall of Famers Dan Fouts (Sisters) and Gary Zimmerman (Bend).

Nobody expects Uncle Sam to again cough up an extra $3.5 billion to plug gaps as Congress did in 2009.

As a result, “We’re going to be cutting the bejesus out of programs,” said one longtime lawmaker, Sen. Ginny Burdick, D-Portland.

Rep. Gene Whisnant, R-Sunriver, agrees.

“We’re going to have to do what we didn’t do last session,” he said. “The word is ‘cut.’”

More than any other continent, Africa is wracked by separatists. There are rebels on the Atlantic and on the Red Sea. There are clearly defined liberation movements and murderous groups known principally for their cruelty or greed. But these rebels share at least one thing: They direct their fire against weak states struggling to hold together disparate populations within boundaries drawn by 19th-century white colonialists.

That history is a prime reason Africa remains a continent of failed or failing states. And it helps explain why the world is now trying to stand behind southern Sudan as it votes, starting today, on cutting its ties to the government in Khartoum.

Voters are expected to approve independence, and if they do, South Sudan will become a rare exception in Africa — a state that is reorganizing its colonial-era borders. It might even set a precedent for others.

T S SHOOTING IN ARIZONA

Bloodshed Congresswoman shot, 6 killed puts focus on vitriol in politics Bulletin wire reports

By Carl Hulse and Kate Zernike New York Times News Service

WASHINGTON — The shooting of Rep. Gabrielle Giffords and others at a neighborhood meeting in Arizona on Saturday set off what is likely to be a wrenching debate over anger and violence in American politics.

While the exact motivations of the suspect in the shootings remained unclear, an Internet site tied to the man, Jared Lee Loughner, contained anti-government ramblings. And regardless of what led to the episode, it quickly focused attention on the degree to which inflammatory language, threats and implicit instigations to violence have become a steady undercurrent in the nation’s political culture.

Law enforcement officials said members of Congress reported 42 cases of threats or violence in the first three months of 2010, nearly three times the 15 cases reported during the same period a year earlier. Nearly all dealt with the health care bill, and Giffords was among the targets.

In the hours immediately after the shooting of Giffords, a Democrat, and others in a supermarket parking lot in Tucson, top Republicans from Speaker John Boehner to Gov. Jan Brewer of Arizona quickly condemned the violence.

“An attack on one who serves is an attack on all who serve,” Boehner said in a statement.

President Barack Obama and Oregon Rep. Greg Walden also were among those who issued statements. “I was horrified to learn of the despicable attack,” Walden’s read. “ ... This deplorable act marks a sad day for our country.”

The House was set to vote Wednesday on the new Republican majority’s proposal to repeal the health care law that had energized their supporters and ignited fierce opposition from the tea party movement. Rep. Eric Cantor of Virginia, the new majority leader, said Saturday the vote and other planned legislative activity would be postponed.

The legislation stirred strong feelings that flared at angry town hall meetings held by many Democratic lawmakers during the summer of 2007. And there has been a broader anger and suspicion rising about the government, its finances and its goals, with the discourse partially fueled by talk shows and Internet sites.

Giffords was also among a group of embattled Democratic House candidates who were featured on the website of Sarah Palin’s political action committee with cross hairs over their districts, a fact that disturbed Giffords at the time. The image with the gun sights is no longer on the website of Palin, who posted a statement saying “my sincere condolences are offered to (her) family.”

Democrats have also pointed out cases where Republican candidates seemed to raise the prospect of armed revolt. But Republicans have noted they too are subject to regular threats and abuse from the public and, during the health care fight, some suggested Democrats were trying to cut off responsible political opposition and paint themselves as victims.

Sensitive to the issue, tea party activists in Arizona said they quickly reviewed their membership lists when Loughner was identified as a suspect to check whether he was associated with them. They said they found no evidence he was.

But other tea party activists said it would be hard to separate the shooting in Tucson from the current ideological clash.

“The left is going to blame this on the tea party movement,” said Judson Phillips, the founder of Tea Party Nation, a social networking site for tea party activists. “While we need to take a moment to extend our sympathies to the families of those who died, we cannot allow the hard left to do what it tried to do in 1995 after the Oklahoma City bombing. Within the entire political spectrum, there are extremists. ... Violence of this nature should be decried by everyone and not used for political gain.”

TUCSON, Ariz. — A gunman unloaded a semiautomatic weapon outside a busy supermarket Saturday during a public gathering for Democratic Rep. Gabrielle Giffords, killing Arizona’s chief federal judge and five others in an attempted assassination that left Americans questioning whether divisive politics had pushed the suspect over the edge.

Democrats mount 2nd health care sales pitch

By Philip Rucker

The Washington Post

WASHINGTON — The debate over repealing the landmark health care overhaul offers Democrats something rare in politics: a do-over.

Democrats, who were widely perceived to have blown the political messaging over President Barack Obama’s signature law, are revving up for a campaign-style offensive in an attempt to get it right the second time around.

Party officials said they will also showcase regular folks who have benefited from the health care law — such as those under 26 who are now able to stay on their parents’ insurance plans and people with pre-existing conditions who can now get coverage — in local and national media to “put a face� on popular provisions. “It’s not often you get a second chance to make a first impression, but (Republicans) are giving that right to us,� Sen. Charles Schumer, D-N.Y., said in an interview. “Right now, people don’t realize all the good things in the bill.�

With the shooting of a congresswoman Saturday, the future of health care repeal and most other legislation early in the 112th Congress became unclear. House Republicans delayed their scheduled Wednesday repeal vote. Still, it remains high on Obama’s priority list. “What we can’t do is refight the battles of the past two years that distract us from the hard work of moving our economy forward,� Obama said in his weekly address.

Al-Sadr to Iraqis: U.S. subpoenas Resist ‘occupation’ WikiLeaks data from Twitter

By Aaron C. Davis

The Washington Post

NAJAF, Iraq — Anti-American Shiite cleric Muqtada al-Sadr told a cheering crowd of thousands here Saturday that even though his party had matured into a political force, his followers should remain committed to fiercely resisting the United States. “We say to the Iraq government: enough occupation and enough slavery. The occupation has to get out,� al-Sadr said. “We heard that the government has pledged to get the occupation out, and we are waiting for its promise.�

In his first speech since ending nearly four years of self-imposed exile in Iran, al-Sadr returned to the anti-American message that first shot him to prominence in 2003 as the most outspoken Shiite opponent of the U.S. occupation.

Al-Sadr vowed to support the new Iraqi government formed last month as long as it stayed focused and proved capable of improving Iraqi lives. “If it serves the people and provides security and safety and services, we are with it, not against it,� he said.

The cleric’s recent decision to support Prime Minister Nouri alMaliki for a second term ended eight months of political deadlock and allowed Maliki to name a government, creating the conditions for al-Sadr’s return.

Al-Sadr spoke from a 15-foot stage erected in the street outside the home of his father, the late Grand Ayatollah Mohammed Sadiq Sadr, who was assassinated in 1999 by loyalists of Saddam Hussein. Al-Sadr denounced violence against fellow Iraqis, specifically a string of recent assassinations of police officials and targeted bombings of Christians.

He called on his followers to “forget about the past and the con-

But he did not extend that sentiment to the roughly 48,000 U.S. troops still in the country. “Do not kill Iraqis but target the American forces,� he said. “The first and main goal for the Iraqi people is to get the occupation out.�

The document demand ordered Twitter to hand over private messages, billing information, telephone numbers, connection records and other data about accounts run by Assange and the others.

The Obama administration volunteered little new information about its criminal investigation against Assange and WikiLeaks after news of its subpoena leaked.

It was not immediately clear how the data being requested would be useful to investigators.

Twitter’s logs could reveal the Internet addresses that Assange and WikiLeaks supporters have used, which could help track their locations as they traveled around the world. The information also might identify others with official access to WikiLeaks’ account on Twitter who so far have escaped scrutiny.

There was also the matter of Sudan’s president, Omar Hassan al-Bashir, who was indicted by the International Criminal Court on genocide charges for atrocities in Darfur. He is also suspected of reviving old contacts with the brutal Lord’s Resistance Army in Uganda to destabilize southern Sudan. “Could it be that al-Bashir’s support for the LRA and other rebels has made countries exhausted� with him, wondered Maina Kiai, a Kenyan human rights advocate. “Or could it be self-interest among the neighbors hoping to cash in on a new, unformed state that has plenty of natural resources? “I do think the oil could be a major factor,� he added, especially for Kenya, Uganda and perhaps Congo. (There has been talk of one day building a new pipeline through Kenya and Uganda that could let the south’s oil exports bypass the north.)

Letting southern Sudan break free could also set a wide and unpredictable precedent — including for the Western Sahara, the Oga-

den region in Ethiopia, the Cabinda enclave in Angola, and Congo.

There is also Somaliland, the only functioning part of Somalia; it recently held elections followed by a peaceful transfer of power.

Michael Clough, who directed the Africa program at the Council on Foreign Relations in the 1990s, said he thought that the African Union did not play the same influential role it once did. He expects that local balances of power, more than anything else, will determine whether a putative state like Somaliland actually becomes independent.

When the union was founded in the 1960s, “there were a number of strong and articulate African leaders,� he said. “Today, I just don’t think there are many leaders left in Africa who have political/moral authority.�

In other words, maybe Africa is moving toward an understanding that smaller units can be better — that the Pandora’s box should have been cracked open long ago and the colonial-era borders adjusted to carve out smaller, more governable units.

Clark doesn’t buy it. “Africa doesn’t need a new map,� he said. “It needs new forms of leadership.

In particular, it needs leaders who use national resources to benefit all citizens.�

With that, Kiai agrees. In the end, the Kenyan human-rights advocate said, Africa’s problems are about governance and “the narrative of the state.� “No country becomes a nation without a common accepted narrative that goes beyond individuals,� he said. “Hence the U.S. and its Mayflower, Tea Party, the War of Independence, the Wild West stories. When there is a narrative that provides a sense of sharedness, then the sense of nationhood cements itself.�

By that standard, though, maybe an independent South Sudan won’t be a struggling nation-state either. True, it’s poor, even by African standards. Many children go to school under trees. Many local officials can’t read. But if it has anything, it is a sense of “sharedness� — of shared sacrifice and shared struggle. Maybe that means more than roads. Or oil.

back and forth across that line to graze their animals, and the Misseriya are now refusing to be categorized as northern or southern.

One of their areas, Abyei, is considered a likely flashpoint of any potential dispute over where to divide the country.

On Saturday, two rebel groups clashed with Southern Sudan’s military ahead of the region’s historic independence referendum, leaving at least nine dead. A top security chief said Saturday he suspected the groups were trying to depress voter turnout in some areas, though most analysts expect a peaceful vote.

Most Africa hands agree there was considerable international pressure on the African Union, the successor to the Organization of African Unity, to make southern Sudan an exception to the rule about preserving old borders. “Recognition is seen as a very, very bitter pill� at the union’s headquarters, said William Reno, a political scientist at Northwestern University. And Phil Clark, a lecturer in international politics at the School of Oriental and African Studies in London, said that until last year, “the AU mantra was that independence for the south would lead to further conflict.�

But the African Union, which needs the West to finance its peacekeeping missions, yielded in the face of enormous American and European support for the southern Sudanese — support rooted in perceptions that southerners have long been Christian victims of Muslim persecutors.

WASHINGTON — Investigative documents in the WikiLeaks probe spilled out into the public domain Saturday for the first time, pointing to the Obama administration’s determination to assemble a criminal case no matter how long it takes and how far afield authorities have to go.

Backed by a magistrate judge’s court order from Dec. 14, the newly disclosed documents sent to Twitter Inc. by the U.S. attorney’s office in Alexandria, Va., demand details about the accounts of WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange and Pfc. Bradley Manning, the Army intelligence analyst who’s in custody and suspected of supplying WikiLeaks with classified information.

The others whose Twitter accounts are targeted in the prosecutors’ demand are Birgitta Jonsdottir, an Icelandic parliamentarian and onetime WikiLeaks collaborator; Dutch hacker Rop Gonggrijp; and U.S. programmer Jacob Appelbaum. Gonggrijp and Appelbaum have worked with WikiLeaks in the past.

Justice Department spokesman Matt Miller declined comment on the disclosure in the case, which intensified following WikiLeaks’ latest round of revelations with the posting of classified State Department diplomatic cables. The next day, Nov. 29, Attorney General Eric Holder vowed that anyone found to have violated U.S. law in the leaks would be prosecuted.

Assange said the U.S. move amounted to harassment, and he pledged to fight it. “If the Iranian government was to attempt to coercively obtain this information from journalists and activists of foreign nations, human rights groups around the world would speak out,� he told The Associated Press in an e-mail.

Legal experts have said

one possible avenue for federal prosecutors would be to establish a conspiracy to steal classified information.

The demand by prosecutors sought information dating to Nov. 1, 2009, several months before an earlier WikiLeaks release.

Manning is in a maximum-security military brig at Quantico, Va., charged with leaking video of a 2007 U.S. Apache helicopter attack in Baghdad that killed a Reuters news photographer and his driver. WikiLeaks posted the video on its website in April of last year. Three months later, WikiLeaks posted some 90,000 leaked U.S. military records on the war in Afghanistan, including unreported incidents of Afghan civilian killings as well as covert operations against Taliban figures.

Continued from A1 In any case, it has already set off an agonizing debate, a halfcentury in coming, over the wisdom of trying to hold together the unwieldy colonial borders in the first place. Even though many of those frontiers carelessly sliced through rivers, lakes, mountains and ethnic groups, few of the leaders who shepherded Africa to independence a half-century ago wanted to tinker, because redrawing the map could be endless and contested. So, on May 25, 1963, when the Organization of African Unity was formed in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia, it immediately recognized the colonial-era borders.

In hindsight, it is clear the old boundaries often hurt prospects for state building. But back then, and even today for many Africans, the alternative of tiny ministates seemed even worse. “In 1963, the OAU did something very important: It sanctified the borders,� said Sadiq al-Mahdi, one of the grandfathers of Sudan’s politics, a vibrant man in his 70s whom I recently interviewed in a gazebo along the Nile near Khartoum, with bowls of dates at his fingertips. “But now this sanctification is gone,� he said. “The borders have been polluted. And to resort to self-determination to solve your problems will break up the Sudan, will break up Ethiopia, will break up Uganda, will break up all of Africa, because all African countries are made up of such heterogeneous elements.� “Pandora’s box is now open,� he declared.

Al-Mahdi is understandably grumpy. For starters, he was an architect of the most brutal phase of the north-south civil war in Sudan in the late 1980s, and is widely blamed for unleashing tribal militias against southern civilians, an accusation he denies. (The tactic was repeated in the last decade in Darfur in the west.)

Eventually, the southerners won. And now he, like many northern Sudanese, is as fearful and depressed as a patient about to undergo an amputation. If the southern third of Sudan is lopped off, with it goes most of Sudan’s oil. Even though much of that oil still must flow through the north in pipelines for export, northern Sudan is in for a rough patch, and al-Mahdi knows it.

But divorce will also be messy for the south. It’s not as if there is a knife-sharp cultural line where northern Sudan ends and the south begins. The British colonizers did draw an administrative border. But many communities, like the Misseriya nomads, drift

5 to watch this session Much of this Legislature’s success or failure will come down to these men

Gov. John Kitzhaber

Rep. Arnie Roblan

Rep. Bruce Hanna

Sen. Ted Ferrioli

Sen. Peter Courtney

(Democrat)

(D-Coos Bay)

(R-Roseburg)

(R-John Day)

(D-Salem)

In pursuing an unprecedented third term, former ER doctor Kitzhaber vowed to govern from the middle, but his narrow victory would have been impossible without the support of Oregon’s public employee unions.

How will he handle Oregon’s budget?

The top leader for the House Democrats, Roblan is known as a moderate with a calm demeanor.

The former high school principal will have his hands full trying to keep a divided Democratic caucus in line.

With Republicans firmly in the minority last session, Hanna, a bottling-company executive, was free to lob rhetorical grenades. How will he handle an even split of power in the House?

More so than Hanna, Ferrioli relished his role in the minority, taking visible glee in his efforts last session to score partisan points against the Democratic supermajority. How he’ll adjust to the new, more even balance of power remains to be seen.

This university professor was first elected in 2003, when the parties evenly split the Senate. This year, even without a power-sharing agreement, Courtney has handed over all or partial control of several committees and subcommittees to the GOP.

Legislature Continued from A1 Though lawmakers two years ago claimed credit for roughly $2 billion in program cuts, those were not cuts from the previous year’s budget levels. Rather, they were derived from a figure that state budget analysts said would be necessary to maintain the status quo.

This year, the cuts are expected to run deeper, with layoffs considered likely.

“Things are getting pretty well down to the bone,” said Lonn Hoklin, a spokesman for the state Department of Administrative Services. “And if you’re going to cut additionally, the chances are pretty good that there would be layoffs or there would be changes to some programs that would require eliminating positions.”

The $3.5 billion gap does not take into account cuts that the Legislature had to make since approving its last budget. If that is done, the hole drops to about $2.5 billion, Hoklin said.

Given expected income of about $14.8 billion in Lottery revenue as well as corporate and personal income taxes, it could mean roughly 15 percent cuts to agencies’ General Fund budgets.

New political climate Inheriting this situation will be a nearly evenly split Legislature, and an incoming governor who, though the Democrats’ nominee, often sounded to some like a Republican while campaigning around the state last year.

The question on many lips in Salem is simple: Will this seeming balance lead to consensus-driven decisions or gridlock?

In the House, after Republicans picked up six seats, a 30-30 division has led to a power-sharing agreement expected to lead to cospeakers — Rep. Bruce Hanna, R-Roseburg, and Rep. Arnie Roblan, D-Coos Bay — as well as co-chairmen and -chairwomen to run the committees that do most of the grunt work in writing bills.

In the Senate, Republicans picked up two seats and lost out on a third by only about 280 votes, meaning Democrats barely held on to a 16-14 majority. Pledging bipartisanship, Senate President Peter Courtney, D-Salem, has appointed Republicans to chair or co-chair four committees and subcommittees.

Of course, fleeting promises of bipartisanship are practically the rule as every Legislature begins.

So, how long will it last this time?

One potential clue will come Monday morning, when the House of Representatives is expected to vote on a set of rules to govern its day-to-day operations.

Negotiations over those rules were expected to last into the weekend, and it’s unclear whether the Republicans’ version, the

Democrats’ or some combination of the two will prevail.

Whisnant remains optimistic, citing the Democrats’ decision to elect Roblan, a moderate, as their top leader rather than former Speaker Dave Hunt, D-Clackamas, who had a reputation for partisanship and hardball tactics.

“I think that is an indication that the Democratic House members want to have someone who will work together with us,” he said. “I think Representative Hunt would have had problems doing that.”

Lawmakers of both parties say the budget and the economy will dominate the session. Those two issues, however, will inevitably spill over into other debates, including land use, crime and justice, and assorted regulations.

Should Oregon’s state-dominated land use laws be weakened to allow more local control over growth and development?

Should the Legislature, as it did last year, again postpone implementation of Measure 57, the 2008 voter-approved law increasing penalties on certain drug and property crimes?

Should Measure 73, the new drunken-driving and sex-offender sentencing law, also be postponed?

Burdick, who led the attempt to curb a controversial green-energy tax credit over the past two years, said that given the state of the budget, “everything is on the table.”

Programs previously spared budget scrutiny, such as a senior medical-expense tax deduction that’s far more generous than in most states, could be in line for cuts or reforms this year, she added.

“The positive thing about the times that we’re in is that it sometimes does force us into some decisions that maybe are not easy or popular,” she said.

The wild card in all this is John Kitzhaber, who, as governor, must sign off on the state budget as well as any new laws approved by legislators.

In his earlier stint as governor, from 1995 to 2003, he was dubbed “Dr. No” for his frequent vetoes of bills submitted by a heavily Republican Legislature. Republicans accused him of being unwilling to compromise.

How will he get along with the Legislature this time?

Whisnant likes what he’s hearing so far.

“I’ve heard some rumors that he’s really going to make some tough decisions, and that’s what we need,” he said.

Burdick, for her part, thinks Kitzhaber was good the first time around. But she thinks he’ll be better now — and even more willing to make tough decisions at the cost of his own popularity.

“He’s said a number of times that his goal is to end his term with zero political capital in the bank,” she said, “And I really believe him.”

Foreclosure Continued from A1 Here in Phoenix, foreclosures fell by more than a third in the same period, reflected in the severe drop in foreclosed homes being auctioned on the courthouse plaza.

“There’s no product, just nothing to buy,” complained Sean Waak, an agent for investors, during a recent auction.

If the slowdown continued through this month and into the spring, it could be a boost for the economy. Reducing foreclosures in a meaningful way would act to stabilize the housing market, real estate experts say, letting the administration patch up one of the economy’s most persistently troubled sectors. Fewer foreclosures means that buyers pay more for the ones that do come to market, which strengthens overall home prices and builds consumer confidence in housing.

“Anything that buys time, that reduces the supply of houses coming onto the market, is helpful,” said Karl Guntermann, a professor of real estate finance at Arizona State University.

It is not that borrowers have stopped defaulting on their mortgages. They are missing payments as frequently as ever, data shows. But the lenders are not beginning formal foreclosure proceedings or, when they are, do not complete them with an auction sale.

And in the most favorable outcome for distressed borrowers, some lenders are modifying loans so foreclosure becomes unnecessary.

The drop in foreclosures began in late September when some lenders were revealed to have been using so-called robo-signers to process thousands of foreclosures without verifying the accuracy of the data. As the investigations into the problems proceeded, the uncertainty caused many lenders to become more cautious.

Their foreclosure procedures, the banks have repeatedly said, are sound. But preliminary results of several of the investigations have indicated substantial problems. Coordinating many of the inquiries is the Financial Fraud Enforcement Task Force, established

by President Barack Obama.

“The administration is committed to taking appropriate action on these issues where wrongdoing has occurred,” said Melanie Roussell, an administration spokeswoman.

The diminished supply of foreclosed homes has already had an effect on prices at the auctions on the courthouse plaza in Phoenix, bidders said.

Houses change hands on the plaza with a minimum of ceremony. Three sets of trustees hired by the banks sit a few

Investigations into foreclosure practices

At least four major investigations are under way into how banks have processed home foreclosures. Several other, sometimes overlapping, investigations have been announced by the Federal Trade Commission, the Office of Thrift Supervision and the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation.

Additionally, three state attorneys general have recently filed court cases against lenders alleging deceptive practices. Ohio has sued GMAC, and Arizona and Nevada have separately sued Bank of America.

CURRENT INVESTIGATIONS • Attorneys general in all 50 states, into the entire process (expected to finish this spring). Worst possible result for the banks: criminal charges.

• Justice Department’s Executive Office for U.S. Trustees (oversees bankruptcies), into whether banks and their law firms are inflating the amounts they say they are due in Chapter 13 bankruptcies by homeowners.

Worst possible result for the banks: sued by the Justice Department.

• Federal Housing Administration, into whether banks are foreclosing on government-insured loans without first pursuing legally required options.

Preliminary results: Some banks have acted improperly; no official report is expected. Worst possible result for the banks: Lenders may be fined.

• Federal Reserve, with other agencies, into whether systemic weaknesses cause improper foreclosures. Preliminary results: Significant shortcomings in unspecified banks. Final report expected this month. Worst possible result for the banks: Lenders may be fined. feet apart, their backs to a statue of a naked family looking for all the world as if its members had just been cast out of their home.

The trustees call off properties in a monotone to bidders clustered around them. Winners must immediately hand over a $10,000 deposit.

Cameron Findlay, chief economist with the mortgage company LendingTree, said that the shifting behavior of lenders had helped change perceptions about the foreclosed. “Initially, society’s view was to run them out of the house,” he said.

That resulted in vacant and dilapidated homes, which blighted neighborhoods and drove potential buyers away. “People should be hopeful the modification programs work — for their own benefit,” Findlay said.

4 million vulnerable More than 4 million households are in serious default and vulnerable to losing their homes. Lenders maintain that cases of borrowers improperly foreclosed are extremely rare.

But the Federal Reserve, which is investigating lenders’ policies in conjunction with other banking regulators, has found significant weaknesses in risk management, quality control, auditing and compliance.

At the state level, there is a joint effort by all 50 state attorneys general, with the specific goal of changing the face of foreclosure in America by making it more difficult for lenders to act against homeowners. The effort, led by Iowa’s attorney general, Tom Miller, is in flux as several prominent attorneys general left office and their replacements decide wheth-

er to make foreclosure reform a priority.

There have been many attempts during the housing crash to stem the flow of foreclosures, only fitfully successful. Some experts think neither federal reforms nor any agreements brokered by the attorneys general will make much of a difference.

“Whether it is really true that there are millions of foreclosures that could be avoided if servicers were just more willing to do more modifications that make sense — meaning overall losses would be less than would otherwise be the case — is far from clear, and in fact highly unlikely,” said Tom Lawler, an economist.

Loan servicers are not set up to identify the true financial picture of each borrower having trouble, Lawler said, and cannot easily figure out who is likely to stop paying without a modification and who will keep sending a check every month.

The courthouse plaza bidders in Phoenix do not believe their livelihood is threatened. By the end of January, several bidders predicted, lenders would gear up and foreclosures would once again be abundant.

In the meantime, Tom Peltier watched unhappily as a house started at $68,000 and quickly spiraled up. He finally locked it in at $98,500. “That was about 20 grand more than I wanted to pay,” said Peltier, who planned to rent it to his sister as soon as he moved out the former owner.

Ducks Continued from A1 Most of these players’ college careers concluded long before Oregon’s rise to prominence in the past 20 or so years.

Zimmerman, an offensive lineman for the Ducks in the early 1980s, noted that if Oregon defeats Auburn to go 13-0, the 2010-11 Ducks will have won as many games in one season as Zimmerman’s Oregon teams won in his four seasons combined.

His final game for the Ducks was the infamous Toilet Bowl, a 0-0 tie with rival Oregon State in 1983.

“That’s kind of stuck with me,” said Zimmerman, who went on to win a Super Bowl with the Denver Broncos in 1998.

Now, Zimmerman, Nehl and other former Ducks who played when times in the UO program were “pretty dark,” according to Nehl, can revel in their old school playing under the brightest spotlight in college football.

“They’ve been teetering on it,” Zimmerman said. “They’ve been close. Chip has taken them to the next level.”

One former Duck from Central Oregon who played more recently had a hunch something special would happen shortly after Kelly took over as head coach.

Bend’s Morgan Flint was a walk-on place-kicker who last season, in his senior year, was awarded a scholarship by Kelly.

Flint made 16 of 19 field-goal attempts last season to help Oregon reach the 2010 Rose Bowl.

“To be honest with you, from the first spring when Coach Kelly took over, in that team meeting, you got the feeling that it was only a matter of time before we would be playing in the national championship,” Flint said.

Flint made one field goal in the Rose Bowl, which Oregon lost 26-17 to Ohio State.

Fouts, a star quarterback at Oregon in the early 1970s before a Hall of Fame NFL career with the San Diego Chargers, said the Ducks learned from last year’s experience at the Rose Bowl.

“I think this is a better team than last year’s Rose Bowl team — the maturity level they’ve shown to execute Kelly’s system and believe in it has been remarkable,” Fouts said. “A big part of a coach is having people believe in you and your system, and that’s evident.”

Darrel Aschbacher, who was born and raised in Prineville and lives there today, played on Oregon’s 1958 Rose Bowl team.

“When we went to the Rose Bowl, I didn’t think THAT was possible,” said Aschbacher, whose UO teams played their home games on campus at Hayward Field — Duck teams have played off campus at Autzen Stadium since 1967. “I never really thought about (Oregon going to the national championship) until this year.”

Aschbacher has waited more than 50 years for Oregon to reach the pinnacle of college football.

Some current Oregon assistant coaches have waited more than 20 years, including running-backs coach Steve Campbell (28th season), running-game coordinator Steve Greatwood (25th season), linebackers coach Don Pellum (23rd season), and defensive coordinator Nick Aliotti (20th season, third tenure). Many former Duck players from Central Oregon, guys who played for those coaches, are ecstatic to see them reach the national championship game.

“For me, it’s extra special,” said Scott Shepard, who played at Prineville’s Crook County High School and was an offensive lineman for the Ducks in the early 1980s. “Some guys on the staff were there when I was there: Greatwood, Aliotti, Campbell. They went through some lean times, and it’s neat to experience the chance of a lifetime. They really paid their dues when I played there, and we weren’t real good.”

Continued from previous page climaxed after the 1994 season by a berth in the Rose Bowl — the Ducks’ first Rose Bowl bid since Aschbacher’s team in 1958. After Brooks left Oregon for the NFL in 1995, Mike Bellotti took the helm and soon made the Ducks a fixture in the nation’s top 25 teams.

In 2001, Oregon was ranked ahead of Nebraska in the polls after the regular season but was left out of the BCS title game, which pitted the Cornhuskers against top-ranked Miami.

The Ducks’ only loss that year was a home setback to Stanford — but Nebraska had not even won its own conference. Oregon would go on to defeat Colorado in the Fiesta Bowl and finish No. 2 in the country behind Miami, which drubbed the Cornhuskers 37-14 in the Rose Bowl (which served as the BCS championship game that season).

Dan Weaver, a Redmond High School graduate and the starting center for the 2001 Ducks, is glad to see Oregon in the national championship game nine seasons later.

“I think it’s awesome,” Weaver said. “It seems like they’re finishing the business that we didn’t take care of. They’re doing what we were supposed to do.

“Yeah, we were pretty ticked off that Nebraska didn’t even win the Big 12 and was getting a chance to win the national championship,” Weaver continued. “It didn’t really make sense.”

Jed Weaver, Dan’s older brother and also from Redmond, was a starting tight end for the Ducks before going on to a sixyear NFL career.

Jed played on the 1998 UO team whose offense, featuring quarterback Akili Smith, was considered at the time one of the most prolific ever at Oregon.

But this season’s Duck offense — tops in the nation in scoring at 49.3 points per game and second in total offense at 537.5 yards per game — can easily claim that title.

“I used to brag with my brother that I was on the best Oregon team ever, and he used to say he was on the best offense, but neither of us have that anymore,” Dan Weaver said, laughing. “It’s great for the state, and for the Pac-10, to see somebody besides USC there. There was a hundred years’ worth of work to get to this point. This is an accumulation of all that.”

Roy Geiger, who has lived in Bend since 1989, was a placekicker and punter for Oregon in 1976 and 1977. He held the UO record for the longest field goal — a 57-yard boot at Washington State in 1977 — for 25 years.

Jared Siegel broke that record with a 59-yard field goal at UCLA in 2002, but Geiger’s kick still ranks as the second-longest in Oregon history.

In 1977, Geiger led the 2-9 Ducks in scoring with just 52 points. (For perspective, this season’s Oregon team is led in scoring by LaMichael James — with 132 points — and three other players have scored more than 52 points.)

“It’s like going from typewriters to computers, if you know what I mean,” said Geiger, referring to the Oregon teams then and now. “Trust me, I’ve been through both.”

Geiger also mentioned the significant upgrades in Oregon’s football facilities since his playing days.

“We had this (crappy) little weight room below the stadium,” he said of his time at UO. “Now I go there and I just want to camp out: spas, TV screens.

It’s like Disneyland for football players. It sells.”

No matter how many wins and losses they experienced during their time in Eugene, these former Duck players have more in common than their Central Oregon ties: They are thrilled to see Oregon playing for the national title.

Their pride in the UO football program has not dwindled over the years.

“People say, ‘You were a Duck,’” Fouts explains. “I say, ‘No, I AM a Duck.’ It’s never going to leave me — that’s why I live here.”

N B Study suggests family ties give big boost in college admissions A new study of admissions at 30 highly selective colleges found that legacy applicants get a big advantage over those with no family connections to the institution. According to the study, by Michael Hurwitz, a doctoral student at the Harvard Graduate School of Education, applicants to a parent’s alma mater had, on average, seven times the odds of admission of nonlegacy applicants. Those whose parents did graduate work there or who had a grandparent, sibling, uncle or aunt who attended the college were, by comparison, only twice as likely to be admitted.

Mullen: Military will self-review Adm. Mike Mullen is convening a National Defense University conference Monday that will open an intensive assessment by the military of its professional behavior. Mullen, likely the final chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff to have served in the Vietnam War, still carries the scars of how that polarizing era damaged the military and its relationship with the American people. As he enters his last year as the nation’s top-ranking officer, Mullen is voicing concerns that professionalism and ethical standards across the armed forces are being challenged by the longest period of sustained combat in the nation’s history.

History Channel pulls miniseries on Kennedys A miniseries about John F. Kennedy’s presidency that was criticized over its historical accuracy before it was even filmed will not be shown on the History Channel. The series, called “The Kennedys,” was supposed to be the History Channel’s first major move into scripted programming, with a high-profile cast, wellknown producer Joel Surnow and a multimillion-dollar price tag. But on Friday, the channel said in a statement that this “dramatic interpretation” of the Kennedys’ story, which had been filmed and was being prepared for broadcast in the spring, “is not a fit for the History brand.”

Feds push back on flap over testing in Gulf oil spill probe NEW ORLEANS — Federal investigators are pushing back against criticism they aren’t doing enough to keep companies involved in the Gulf oil spill away from any hands-on role in the forensic analysis of a key piece of equipment that failed to keep crude from entering the sea.

Rep. Edward Markey sent a letter Friday to the director of the Bureau of Ocean Energy Management, Regulation and Enforcement detailing what he said are new concerns about conflicts of interest in the blowout preventer testing.

Markey’s letter said a Cameron International employee was allowed to operate components of the blowout preventer during the same week that an ocean energy bureau spokeswoman insisted company representatives are not involved in testing the 300-ton device. Markey’s concerns are similar to those expressed recently by the U.S. Chemical Safety Board.

However, the same spokeswoman, Melissa Schwartz, said Saturday the Cameron worker, Ray Fain, wasn’t doing testing of the blowout preventer, but rather was involved in flushing the pods to keep them from eroding, a procedure that is being done periodically and requires proprietary Cameron computer equipment and a technician to operate.

B Mexican police find 15 dead — 14 headless — in Acapulco ACAPULCO, Mexico — Police found the bodies of 15 men, 14 of them headless, on a street outside a shopping center in this Pacific coast resort area Saturday. The victims, all of whom appeared to be in their 20s, were discovered in an area not frequented by tourists.

Handwritten signs left with the bodies were signed by “El Chapo’s People” — a reference to the Sinaloa cartel, headed by drug lord Joaquin “El Chapo” Guzman — said Fernando Monreal Leyva, director of investigative police for Guerrero state, where Acapulco is located.

The narco-messages indicated the Sinaloa cartel killed them for trying to intrude on the gang’s turf and extort residents.

Mexico’s drug cartels have increasingly taken to beheading their victims in a grisly show of force, but Saturday’s discovery was the largest single group of decapitation victims found in recent years.

Ex-Nigerian president arrives in Ivory Coast amid crisis ABIDJAN, Ivory Coast — Former Nigerian President Olusegun Obasanjo made an unannounced visit to Ivory Coast late Saturday in an effort to help resolve the country’s deepening political crisis after several other West African leaders have failed to persuade the incumbent to cede power.

A reporter saw Obasanjo arrive at a luxury Abidjan hotel surrounded by bodyguards, but he declined to comment further on his plans.

The top U.N. envoy in Ivory Coast, Choi Youngjin, said Obasanjo was there to “discuss the post-electoral crisis.” The international community has said that Alassane Ouattara won the country’s election, but the incumbent president Laurent Gbagbo has refused for more than a month to concede defeat and step down.

Oregon’s road to the BCS national title game GAME 1, SEPT. 4 No. 11 Oregon . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 72 New Mexico . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 0 At Eugene In his first collegiate start, sophomore quarterback Darron Thomas passed for 220 yards and two touchdowns, and Kenjon Barner filled in nicely for LaMichael James as the Ducks opened the season with a nonconference romp at Autzen Stadium. James sat out the contest, fulfilling a one-game suspension, but Barner stepped in to score five touchdowns and rush for 147 yards as Oregon racked up a schoolrecord 720 yards in total offense. Cliff Harris returned two punts for touchdowns for the Ducks.

GAME 7, OCT. 21 No. 1 Oregon . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 60 UCLA. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .13 At Eugene In their first outing ever as a No. 1-ranked team (by the Associated Press), the Ducks demolished UCLA in a Thursday night game at Autzen Stadium. Darron Thomas passed for a careerhigh 308 yards and three touchdowns, and Remene Alston, a reserve running back, rushed for three scores to lead Oregon, which ended a string of losses by the nation’s AP top-ranked teams. Alabama had lost to South Carolina two weeks earlier, and Ohio State had lost to Wisconsin the previous Saturday.

GAME 2, SEPT. 11 No. 7 Oregon . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 48 Tennessee . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 13 At Knoxville, Tenn.

Oregon fell behind 13-3 before more than 102,000 at Neyland Stadium, but the Ducks, led by LaMichael James, rallied to score 45 unanswered points to drub the Volunteers of the Southeastern Conference. James, in his first action of the season, rushed for 134 yards, including a 72-yard touchdown run early in the second half to give Oregon its first lead at 2013. Cornerback Cliff Harris came up big again for the Ducks, returning an interception 76 yards for a third-quarter touchdown.

GAME 8, OCT. 30 No. 1 Oregon . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 53 No. 24 USC. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 32 At Los Angeles A wild seesaw game at Memorial Coliseum became a showcase for Oregon’s offense in the second half. After USC scored two touchdowns early in the third quarter to take a 32-29 lead, the Ducks scored the game’s final 24 points to secure a key Pac-10 victory. LaMichael James rushed for 239 yards and three touchdowns, and Darron Thomas passed for four touchdowns as Oregon turned a tense contest into a blowout. It was a career game for senior Duck wide receiver Jeff Maehl, who had 145 yards on eight catches, including three TDs.

GAME 3, SEPT. 18 No. 5 Oregon . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 69 Portland state . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 0 At Eugene LaMichael James bolted 66 yards for a touchdown in the game’s first minute, and the rout was on at Autzen Stadium. The sophomore tailback finished with 227 yards on just 14 carries, and the Ducks rushed for a school-record 528 yards in the nonconference victory. Darron Thomas passed only 18 times and completed nine, four of them for touchdowns. Two of his TD strikes went to senior wide receiver Jeff Maehl, both in the first quarter, as Oregon raced to a 21-0 lead in the game’s first five minutes.

GAME 4, SEPT. 25 No. 5 Oregon . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 42 Arizona State . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 31 At Tempe, Ariz.

On a sweltering night in the desert — the temperature at kickoff at Sun Devil Stadium was 100 degrees — Oregon came back from a 10point second-quarter deficit to win its Pac-10 Conference opener. Darron Thomas passed for 260 yards and two touchdowns, including a 54-yard TD toss to Josh Huff. Arizona State committed seven turnovers, two of which Oregon converted into instant touchdowns: a 39yard interception return by safety John Boyett in the first quarter, and a 32-yard fumble return by linebacker Boseko Lokombo in the third period.

GAME 9, NOV. 6 No. 1 Oregon . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 53 Washington . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .16 At Eugene The largest crowd ever at Autzen Stadium (60,017) saw Oregon return to form after being held scoreless in the opening quarter for the first time all season. LaMichael James ran for 121 yards and three touchdowns, and Darron Thomas passed for a score and ran for two more to lead the Ducks, who never trailed but were locked in a 3-3 tie until midway through the second period. Oregon endured a blow when backup quarterback Nate Costa, the holder on place-kick attempts, suffered a season-ending knee injury on a botched field-goal attempt.

GAME 10, NOV. 13 No. 1 Oregon . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .15 California . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .13 At Berkeley, Calif.

Cal was accused of — and later admitted to — faking injuries repeatedly in a successful effort to slow down Oregon’s fast-tempo offense.

Nevertheless, the Ducks managed to survive in their closest call of the season on the road at Memorial Stadium. An illegal-motion penalty against Cal kicker Giorgio Tavecchio negated his own field goal early in the fourth quarter, and he followed by missing from 29 yards, leaving Oregon with a 15-13 lead. The Ducks then chewed up the final 9 1⁄2 minutes of the game with an 18play, 65-yard drive.

GAME 5, OCT. 2 No. 4 Oregon . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 52 No. 9 Stanford . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 31 At Eugene The bubble appeared to be about to burst on the Ducks, who trailed 21-3 after one quarter against the Andrew Luck-led Cardinal. But Oregon surged back behind three touchdown passes by Darron Thomas to win the clash of Pac-10 co-leaders. LaMichael James ran for a career-best 257 yards and three touchdowns for the Ducks, capping the scoring with a 76yard TD sprint late in the fourth quarter. The Ducks outscored the Cardinal 28-0 in the second half in what would be Stanford’s only loss of the season.

GAME 11, NOV. 26 No. 1 Oregon . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 48 No. 20 Arizona . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 29 At Eugene The Ducks trailed at halftime for only the second time all season, 19-14. But Oregon dominated the second half, taking the lead for good on an 85-yard touchdown dash by Josh Huff early in the third period. Darron Thomas ran for one third-quarter touchdown and passed for another, and LaMichael James rushed for two fourthquarter TDs as the Ducks won going away to clinch at least a share of their second consecutive Pac-10 title. James finished with 126 rushing yards, and Huff gained 103 on just three carries.

GAME 6, OCT. 9 No. 3 Oregon . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 42 Washington State . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 23 At Pullman, Wash.

Oregon overcame the loss of both Kenjon Barner and Darron Thomas to keep its unbeaten streak alive. Barner was taken by ambulance from Martin Stadium to a local hospital after a scary collision as the Duck sophomore was returning a punt in the first quarter. Thomas, Oregon’s starting quarterback, left the game in the second quarter with a shoulder injury.

But LaMichael James and Nate Costa picked up the slack, James scoring three touchdowns — one on an 84-yard reception — and Costa filling in for Thomas and directing three scoring drives.

GAME 12, DEC. 4 No. 1 Oregon . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 37 Oregon State . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 20 At Corvallis In a Civil War game played before a Reser Stadium record crowd of 46,469, the outcome was much in doubt into the final period. But Kenjon Barner and LaMichael James ran for fourthquarter touchdowns to seal the win for Oregon and send the Ducks to the BCS title game.

James rushed for 134 yards, Barner for 133, and each scored two touchdowns. A key play in the game was Michael Clay’s 64-yard run on a fake punt from deep in Oregon territory in the third quarter. The Duck defense made four interceptions as Oregon beat the rival Beavers for the third year in a row.

Breaking down the game Running offense

16

Oregon: The Ducks’ running game is anchored

by RB LaMichael James, the first unanimous AllAmerican in Oregon history. He is the national leader in rushing (152.9 yards per game) and scoring average (12.0) while ranking seventh in all-purpose yards (168.1). He also leads the NCAA in overall rushing yards with 1,682, which ranks second on Oregon’s single-season list. His 22 touchdowns (21 rush/1 receiving) are a UO season record. Option B for the Ducks is also dangerous, as RB Kenjon Barner rushes for 6.5 yards per carry, better than James’ 6.0 average.

QB Darron Thomas is a threat to run as well out of the spread option, carrying 85 times for 563 yards (5.8 yards per carry). The Ducks lead the nation in scoring offense (49.3 points per game) and are fourth in rushing offense (303.8 yards per game).

Auburn: QB Cam Newton, the 2010 Heisman Trophy winner, is the team’s leading rusher with 1,409 yards on the season. Newton averages 5.8 yards per carry and has scored 20 rushing touchdowns. At 6-6, 250 pounds, he’s tough to bring down. Freshman RB Michael Dyer is the Tigers’ biggest threat other than Newton. Dyer rushed for 950 yards this season (5.9 ypc).

Auburn is ranked sixth in the nation in scoring offense (42.7 points per game) and rushing offense (287.2 yards per game).

Number of wins Oregon has when leading after halftime under head coach Chip Kelly. Kelly has never lost when leading at halftime at UO.

That’s tops in the Football Bowl Subdivision.

Passing offense

Number of times Oregon and Auburn have faced each other in football. Monday will be the first meeting between the programs.

Oregon: The Ducks are often thought of as a running team, but they were prolific through the air, as well, as QB Darron Thomas threw for 28 touchdowns, completing 60 percent of his passes. His favorite target is WR Jeff Maehl, who caught 68 passes, averaged 78.6 yards per game, and caught 12 touchdown passes. The running backs aren’t utilized much in the passing game, as James and Barner caught 13 and 11 passes this season, respectively.

Auburn: QB Cam Newton was as good through the air as he was on the ground, tossing 28 TDs and completing 67 percent of his passes. He spread the ball around a lot —four receivers had at least four TD catches. WR Darvin Adams (48 catches, 69.9 ypg) and WR Emory Blake (29 catches, 38.5 ypg) both had 7 TDs.

Defense Oregon: The Ducks give up just 18.4 points per game, and are one of the best in the nation in taking the ball away (second in the nation with 35 turnovers gained). Oregon goes deep into its roster on defense, with 26 players who have registered at least 10 tackles this season. LB Casey Matthews leads the team with 73 tackles, 8 1⁄2 for a loss. DT Brandon Bair leads the Ducks with 15 1 ⁄2 tackles for a loss. FS John Boyett and CB Cliff Harris both had five picks on the season. Harris had 20 passes defensed, while Boyett had 14. DE Kenny Rowe led the Ducks with six sacks.

Auburn: The Tigers’ defense is a late starter, as Auburn has trailed in eight of its 13 victories.

The Tigers are ranked 11th nationally in rushing defense (111.7 ypg), and held opponents to 19 of 78 on third-down conversions after the first half.

LB Josh Bynes led the team with 71 tackles, while DL Nick Fairley led the SEC with 21 tackles for a loss and 10 1⁄2 sacks. Bynes also led the team with three interceptions.

Special teams Oregon: PR Cliff Harris was an All-American as a returner, averaging 19.5 yards per punt return, and returning four of his 28 returns for touchdowns, with a long of 79. K Rob Beard was nine of 12 on field-goal attempts.

Auburn: KR Demond Washington averaged 25 yards per kick return this season, one of which went for a touchdown. K Wes Byrum was 15 of 20 on field goals.

Summit boys, Bend girls prevail in season opener

Dolphins’ Sparano receives two-year contract extension DAVIE, Fla. — The Miami Dolphins did damage control Saturday, holding an extraordinary news conference to announce a two-year contract extension for Tony Sparano — and to confess to mistakes in dealing with the team’s coaching situation.

“The Tony Sparano lines of communication should be handled differently,” general manager Jeff Ireland said.

“Now,” owner Stephen Ross said, “I would go about it a different way.”

Ross and Ireland flew cross-country for an interview Thursday with Stanford coach Jim Harbaugh, leaving Sparano in very public limbo.

Negotiations broke off, Harbaugh took a job with the San Francisco 49ers, and Ross decided to keep Sparano.

Ross said he had never interviewed a coach before and was naive to believe he could keep his meeting with Harbaugh secret.

“I never though it would be national news,” Ross said. “I realized after having read the papers the anguish I had put Tony through.”

While the press conference was awkward, everyone said all the right things, including Sparano regarding his week of uncertainty. He said it was difficult not only for him, but for his assistant coaches and players and their families.

“I had a lot of different emotions during the course of the week,” Sparano said. “Frustrations bubble over a little bit sometimes when there’s uncertainty. We’re in a happy place right now, and we’re going to do the best job we can to get things right.”

Mountain View’s Kate Puddy clears a gate while competing in the Central Oregon Ski League race Saturday on Mount Bachelor.

MOUNT BACHELOR — Competing in his first high school ski race, Summit senior Tyler Horton won the Central Oregon Ski League’s first giant slalom race of the season Saturday en route to leading the Storm boys to a team win as well.

Horton, who has plenty of race experience through Mt. Bachelor Sports Education Foundation, posted a two-run combined time of 2 minutes, 5.84 seconds on Mt. Bachelor’s Cliffhanger run, besting runner-up Ian Bistrow of Mountain View (2:08.13) and third-place finisher Keenan Seidel of Bend (2:09.67).

Doug Lyons (fourth, 2:10.54) and Tucker Shannon (sixth, 2:15.18) both posted top-10 finishes to help the Storm boys defeat runner-up Bend High. Summit recorded a combined team time of 6:32.87, compared with the Lava Bears’ 6:41.29.

Gabriel Rietmann paced the Sisters boys with an 11th-place finish (2:22.45) and Conor Smith posted the fastest Redmond boys time with a combined run of 2:37.68 In the girls GS race, Mountain View’s Kate Puddy won both the A and B runs Saturday, turning in a combined time of 2:10.49. Bend’s Ciara Timm placed second (2:12.15) and the Lava Bears’ Brooke Kelley finished third (2:13.83).

Bend High won the girls team event with a combined time of 6:40.28, beating runner-up Summit by more than 10 seconds.

“That first race of the season is always a shakedown cruise,” Lava Bear coach Greg Timm said.

“You get to see who performs at a high school race when your teammates are counting on you.”

Sarah Oller finished fifth in 2:14.85 to highlight the second-place Storm.

NOTEBOOK

Ready to rock Oregon continues to prepare for Monday’s title game, with cornerback and punt returner Cliff Harris leading the show

By Mark Morical The Bulletin

PHOENIX — Oregon cornerback Cliff Harris is taking some advice from an NBA champion as he prepares for the national title game.

Earlier this week, Harris and some other University of Oregon football players attended a game between the Phoenix Suns and the Los Angeles Lakers. Afterward, Harris had the chance to speak with Lakers star Kobe Bryant.

“He (Bryant) told me to fly under the radar just like a great white shark,” Harris said. “Eat up everything in front of you and keep on moving. That analogy stuck with me, and hearing it from the best, you just take heed to it. So that’s how I’m approaching it.”

Harris — a renowned quote magnet to the media — is more than just the creator of the catchphrase “The Natty,” in reference to the national championship.

Shootout goal lifts Red Wings to win over Canucks The Associated Press

VANCOUVER, British Columbia — Jiri Hudler scored the only goal of the shootout and the Detroit Red Wings beat the Vancouver Canucks 2-1 on Saturday night in a matchup of Western Conference powerhouses.

Johan Franzen tied it for Detroit on a power-play breakaway 42 seconds into the third period, and Hudler sent a low slap shot past Roberto Luongo’s blocker on the first shootout attempt.

Jimmy Howard, who made 34 saves through overtime, stopped Jeff Tambellini, Ryan Kesler and Daniel Sedin in the shootout for the Red Wings. Detroit snapped the Canucks’ eight-game winning streak.

Despite the loss, Vancouver remained atop the NHL standings with 60 points, one more than Detroit and three ahead of Eastern Conference-leading Philadelphia.

Daniel Sedin scored a second-period, power-play goal, and Luongo made 32 saves for the Canucks, who haven’t lost in regulation in 16 games (13-0-3) — dating to Dec. 5. Vancouver is 17-1-3 in its last 21 games, but two of the losses came against the Red Wings — including a 5-4 overtime decision in Detroit on Dec. 22.

Things were a lot tighter Saturday between the league’s top two scoring teams, perhaps because both clubs played Friday.

Washington roars back to beat OSU The Associated Press

Washington State tops Oregon

SEATTLE — Matthew Bryan-Amaning helped Washington run past Oregon State.

He knows it was all because of the Huskies’ defense.

Bryan-Amaning had 24 points and a career-high 15 rebounds and No. 23 Washington beat Oregon State 103-72 Saturday.

“Everyone looks at the way we have been scoring, and that’s because we run,” Bryan-Amaning said. “But the only reason we run is we get stops. Contest the shot, rebound and push it.”

Jared Cunningham led Oregon State (7-8, 2-2) with 21 points. Roberto Nelson had 15 points.

Washington (12-3) is 4-0 in the Pac-10 for the first time since winning its first six in 1984.

The Beavers led 37-28 in the first half, but Washington closed out the half with a 12-2 run.

Venoy Overton hit a runner as time expired to give Washington the lead. The Huskies still have not trailed at halftime this season.

“For him to go around about 10 dudes and make that floater, it was a momentum change,” Washington’s Isaiah Thomas said. “We took that into the second half.

“We’re the kind of team and when we’re down, we think we’re going to come back,” he added. “We feel like we can come back on any deficit.”

Magic extend win streak to nine, beat Mavericks The Associated Press

DALLAS — Dwight Howard and the Orlando Magic woke up from a sluggish first half in time to stretch the NBA’s longest current winning streak.

Howard had 23 points and 13 rebounds, and the Magic won their ninth straight with a 117-107 victory over the injury-depleted Dallas Mavericks on Saturday night.

Jason Richardson scored 20 points and Jameer Nelson had 16 for Orlando, which rallied from a 16-point, first-half deficit.

“We just started playing hard,” Howard said of his team’s 3726 fourth-quarter surge. “We’re trying to be consistent with the way we play. We’ve got to learn our lesson, that we can’t expect to play only half the game.”

Hedo Turkoglu contributed 13 points and a career-high 17 assists, and Gilbert Arenas had 14 points for the Magic.

DeShawn Stevenson scored a season-high 24 points for the Mavericks, who were without top scorer Dirk Nowitzki for his career-high seventh straight game with a sprained right knee.

Shawn Marion had 18 points and Jason Terry added 16 points and nine assists for Dallas, 2-5 during Nowitzki’s absence.

Ryan Anderson’s 3-pointer with 9:54 left gave Orlando the lead for good at 88-85, and the Magic used a 26-3 run capped by Turkoglu’s 20-footer with 4:26 remaining for a 108-88 advantage.

Orlando was on the second leg of a back-to-back, having beaten the Houston Rockets 110-95 at home on Friday night.

The Magic didn’t get to their hotel until early Saturday morning, and were outscored 28-19 in the first quarter.

GOLF ROUNDUP

Trio tied for lead at Tournament of Champions The Associated Press

Eric Risberg / The Associated Press

Robert Garrigus reacts after making an eagle putt on the 18th green during the third round of the Tournament of Champions golf tournament in Kapalua, Hawaii, on Saturday.

KAPALUA, Hawaii — Robert Garrigus recovered from an atrocious start Saturday by holing a 50-foot eagle putt on the 18th hole to join Steve Stricker and Jonathan Byrd in the lead at the Tournament of Champions.

In the notorious Kona wind — the toughest at Kapalua — Garrigus chunked a 4-iron into a hazard to open with double bogey and followed with a bogey to quickly fall out of the lead. By the end of the third round, he was back where he started.

The eagle gave Garrigus a 4-under 69 and gave him a good chance to become the first player since Tiger Woods in 2000 to win the season opener after winning the final event of the previous year.

Stricker turned an impossible lie into an unlikely birdie on the 12th hole, avoiding a loose piece of grass behind his ball in the bunker by hitting a 4-iron to 5 feet. It was part of five straight birdies that carried him to an 8-under 65, a score he didn’t think was possible in wind that makes the Plantation Course play at its longest.

Byrd, who has been around the lead all week, was steady as usual. He nearly holed a wedge on the 16th and settled for a tap-in birdie, but his pitch to the 18th was just long enough that it trickled down a slope and rolled 50 feet away. His two-putt par gave him a 67.

All three were at 18-under 201, three shots clear

of Carl Pettersson, who had a 71.

Three Americans atop the leaderboard at least improved the odds of ending a dubious streak at Kapalua, where international players have won the Tournament of Champions the last eight times.

Matt Kuchar had the lead at one point by making seven birdies in a nine-hole stretch, but he played even par over the final six holes for a 66 and wound up four shots out of the lead. U.S. Open champion Graeme McDowell shot a 68 as he continued to get used to mountain golf atop the Pacific Ocean. He was six shots behind, along with Bill Haas (69).

Garrigus looked as though he might not break the way he started. His caddie told him to slow down his swing, and a birdie on the third hole settled him down.

“I thought getting back to under par was going to be good for me,” Garrigus said. “That was a hell of a way to end the round.”

Stricker began making his move with a birdie on the ninth hole, but the 12th was his shot of the tournament.

“A do-or-die swing,” he said.

He had a grass divot left of his ball in the bunker, which was no problem. There was a 2-inch piece of grass behind the ball, and he called for a rules official to ask if he could move it, deep down knowing that he couldn’t. What he didn’t realize, however, was Stricker could not touch the grass piece at any

point in his swing.

From 178 yards into the wind, he hit 4-iron that he brought from the inside and picked the ball cleanly from the sand. It caught the left side of the green and settled 5 feet away.

“You hit a shot like that, you want to make the putt,” he said. “That was the topper.”

He kept right on going, making a super fast putt on the 13th, using his superb wedge game for easy birdie putts on the 14th and 15th, and ending with another good pitch to 3 feet on the 18th.

“I didn’t think an 8-under round was out there,” he said. “But as I got into a roll on the back side, I kept wanting more.”

In other games on Saturday: Two share lead at Africa Open EAST LONDON, South Africa — British Open champion Louis Oosthuizen bogeyed his last hole to fall into a tie for the lead of Africa Open with Markus Brier of Austria heading into the final round.

Oosthuizen had a 4-under 69 while Brier, who bogeyed the 16th, shot 70 as they finished the third round at 13-under 206, a stroke ahead of defending champion Charl Schwartzel and three others on a packed leaderboard at the European Tour event.

Twelve players were within three strokes of the leaders at 6,674-yard East London Golf Club.

SKIING ROUNDUP

Jets advance after beating Colts The Associated Press

AJ Mast / The Associated Press

New York Jets place kicker Nick Folk (2) reacts after kicking the game winning 32-yard field goal during the fourth quarter of Saturday’s game in Indianapolis. New York won 17-16.

Seahawks Continued from B1 The veteran quarterback threw two TD passes to tight end John Carlson in the first half and started the second half with a 38yard strike to Mike Williams to give Seattle a 31-20 lead.

Hasselbeck had fluid drained from his hip before the game — for the third time he said — and he might not have played if the procedure didn’t go well.

“Through all the tough stuff we had to go through the opportunity was still there for us to host a home playoff game against a

INDIANAPOLIS — Nothing personal, Peyton. Rex Ryan and the New York Jets finally got the madefor-TV ending they wanted — they beat you.

The bombastic Ryan got his victory over Manning when Nick Folk made a 32-yard field goal as time expired Saturday night, giving the Jets a 17-16 playoff victory against Indianapolis.

All week, Ryan turned this into a coach vs. quarterback matchup, referring to his 1-5 record against Manning as Jets coach and Ravens defensive coordinator. Instead, it came down to Folk becoming a hero.

“I’ll tell you what, it feels awesome because this is the playoffs and we’re moving on,” Ryan said.

With his main tormentor out of the way, Ryan and the Jets (12-5) head to New England for a third meeting with Tom Brady and Bill Belichick next Sunday; they split during the season, but the Patriots won 45-3 at Foxborough.

The Colts (10-7) beat the Jets for the AFC title a year ago. But both defending conference champs were eliminated from the playoffs Saturday. New Orleans, which beat Indy in last February’s Super Bowl, lost at Seattle.

It was a remarkable turn of emotions for the Colts, who thought they won it when Adam Vinatieri made a 50-yard field goal with 53 seconds to go.

But Antonio Cromartie returned the ensuing kickoff 47 yards and Mark Sanchez needed five plays to get the Jets into position for the winner.

“You know, he (Manning) is the best,” Ryan said, “and he almost did

really good team and I think we were all excited about it,” Hasselbeck said. “It was fun.”

The game wasn’t clinched, though, until Lynch provided a run that’ll be replayed in the Pacific Northwest for years. He took a second-down carry with less than four minutes to go and then the highlights began. He broke six tackles on his 67-yard run, tossing in a massive stiff arm that sent cornerback Tracy Porter to the turf and completed the longest scoring run of his career.

The win was the first in the playoffs for a team with a losing record.

“We respect the heck out of the

it to us again.”

Manning certainly had his chances.

He was 18 of 26 for 225 yards and one TD, and got Vinatieri, considered the best clutch kicker in league history, in position with an eightplay, 48-yard drive in the final 2½ minutes.

But he left 53 seconds on the clock for New York.

After Braylon Edwards made a leaping 18-yard catch to take New York to the Colts 14, Folk’s kick went right down the middle.

“It’s certainly disappointing tonight and that’s really all you think about tonight,” Manning said. “It’s disappointing with the way we lost tonight. Any time you lose on a lastsecond field goal, it certainly stings.”

LaDainian Tomlinson, considered washed-up by some before the season, carried 16 times for 82 yards and scored on two 1-yard runs.

“It’s emotional, exciting and all those things at once,” Tomlinson said. “We knew it was going to be a dogfight against a great team.”

The Colts actually helped the Jets’ winning drive by calling timeout with 29 seconds remaining and the ball at the Indianapolis 32. Sanchez hit Edwards on the next play, a high pass to the right sideline.

Folk trotted on and won it.

“We’ve got to tip our hat to our offense. It was unbelievable,” said Ryan. “I mean, we totally dominated the second half offensively. On defense, we had to hold serve. Against Peyton, you’re not going to stop him completely, but our guys played well enough to get it done and keep him out of the end zone. Our offense was just spectacular.”

Saints, but I think we felt something special all week and today, and we’ll see,” Hasselbeck said.

“It’s a good start for us.”

Lynch finished with 131 yards on 19 carries, the first Seattle back to top 100 yards all season.

Hasselbeck, Lynch and a strong performance by Seattle’s offense extended the Saints franchise misery to 0-4 in road playoff games.

The Saints were considered the second-best team in the conference behind the NFC Southwinning Falcons. Even though they lost to Tampa Bay in the season finale a week ago and were without running backs Pierre

Thomas and Chris Ivory, safety Malcolm Jenkins and linebacker Danny Clark, the Saints were favored by 10 points to advance.

Now they go home.

Brees, who completed a playoff-record 39 passes in 60 attempts for 404 yards and two TDs, still couldn’t match Hasselbeck and the Seahawks offense.

Brees led one final drive, hitting Devery Henderson on a 6-yard touchdown with 1:30 left to get within 41-36.

But DeShawn Wynn was stopped on the 2-point conversion, Garrett Hartley’s onside kick was recovered by Carlson and the Seahawks were home free.

For Cassel, wistfulness tempers joy

New York Times News Service

KANSAS CITY, Mo. — The uplifting story of the Chiefs’ rebirth is bittersweet for their quarterback, Matt Cassel. In his sixth year as a pro, Cassel led Kansas City to 10 regular-season victories, as many as it had in the previous three seasons combined, and a date today against the Baltimore Ravens in the first round of the NFL playoffs.

From worst in their division last season to first in 2010, the Chiefs’ turnaround in the AFC West is straight out of a Hollywood script. And therein lies the rub for Cassel, who will be making his first postseason Next up start since his senior year • AFC Wildat Chatsworth (Calif.) High Card game, School in 1999.

Baltimore Cassel’s success is rooted Ravens at in a passion for competition Kansas City and a dreamer’s persistence, characteristics he inherited Chiefs from his father, Greg, a Hol• When: lywood scriptwriter who Today, imbued in his four children 10 a.m. a love of sports and the outdoors.

• TV: CBS When Cassel was 14, his parents divorced. Cassel, his sister and their two brothers lived with their mother, Barbara, a set decorator, in the San Fernando Valley.

Greg Cassel struggled financially and was living alone in a mobile home in San Bernardino, Calif., when he died of natural causes in December 2008, at age 57.

For Cassel, his father’s death was a wound that began throbbing again after his wife, Lauren, gave birth to the couple’s first child in May. Bonding with their daughter, Quinn, has given Cassel a deeper appreciation of the parent-child connection.

“The thing I never got to do is say goodbye to my dad,” Cassel said after a practice last week.

“That’s something that troubles me. Because we didn’t spend a lot of time together the last few years, you always say, ‘What could I have done differently to help him?’”

There can be no editing the past, so Cassel consoles himself with this: He can write his own blockbuster script, in the name of his father.

Cassel passed for 3,116 yards and 27 touchdowns in the regular season and threw seven interceptions, down from 16 in 2009. His plus20 differential is the second best in the NFL behind the plus-32 of Tom Brady, Cassel’s mentor for four seasons with the New England Patriots.

Kansas City Chiefs quarterback Matt Cassel will lead the Chiefs against the Baltimore Ravens today at 10 a.m. ing. But do not be surprised if the Baltimore game turns on the arm of Cassel, who has watched enough tape of the 12-win Ravens to notice that in their four losses — at Cincinnati, New England and Atlanta, and against Pittsburgh — the defense, anchored by linebacker Ray Lewis, saw an average of 42 passes.

“Watching a defense like theirs,” Cassel said, “you’re thinking, gosh, these guys are really good. The more tape you watch, the more comfortable you get because every defense has a tendency. The fun part is finding that tendency and figuring out a way to exploit it. I love watching film. I love drawing up plays.”

Nobody outworks Cassel, 28, who received a parking spot only steps from the entrance to the Chiefs’ practice facility as a reward for outperforming his teammates in the off season conditioning program. Each Tuesday, technically the NFL’s day of rest, Cassel spends hours watching tape.

Cassel’s practice habits were shaped at Southern California, where he arrived amid much fanfare but spent five years sitting behind two Heisman Trophy winners, Carson Palmer and Matt Leinart. He threw 33 passes in four years.

“When there was really nothing to look forward to,” he said, “I loved to compete in the weight room, loved practice because that was my opportunity to compete.”

Drafted by the Patriots in the seventh round in 2005, Cassel became Brady’s shadow. He arrived at the facility to work out before the first scheduled activity of the day because that is what Brady did. Everything he knows about being a leader, he learned by watching Brady, who won three Super Bowls before Cassel’s arrival.

“He’d always yell at me and say you can’t

make the simple mistake,” Cassel recalled, “because how are you going to yell at your receivers, your running backs, your linemen for making simple mistakes if you’re making them?”

Once, Cassel said, he made the simple mistake of forgetting about a noon conference Brady had added to the schedule. When Cassel showed up on time for a 12:15 meeting, Brady glowered.

“He was furious,” Cassel said. “He asked me where I had been at 12 o’clock, and I remember saying: ‘Why didn’t you come get me? Because I was in the building, I was just eating lunch.’

And he said: ‘Because I’m not responsible for you. You have to be accountable for yourself.’”

Cassel was ready in 2008 when Brady suffered a season-ending knee injury in the Patriots’ opener against Kansas City. He led the Patriots to an 11-5 record while passing for 3,693 yards and 21 touchdowns, with 11 interceptions.

After the season, Cassel was traded to the Chiefs, who signed him to a six-year contract that can be worth more than $60 million. He arrived with Todd Haley, a first-year head coach who was fresh off a Super Bowl appearance as the offensive coordinator of the Cardinals.

Haley is known for his confrontational style, and Cassel spent a good part of the 2009 season playing Gomer Pyle to Haley’s Sgt. Vince Carter. High-decibel communication, Haley conceded, “goes a bit against Matt’s nature.”

But Cassel rose to the challenge. Asked when he had seen Cassel at his most fiery, Haley said, “Probably in my office.”

On Friday, the Chiefs lifted the curtain on their practice for 15 minutes, long enough for reporters to watch receiver Dwayne Bowe, who leads the team with 15 touchdown receptions, drop a couple of passes during a shortyardage goal-line drill.

Last season the Chiefs dropped a leaguehigh 49 passes, and every quarterback-turnedanalyst who came to town and watched Cassel’s throws litter the practice field told Haley that Cassel had to get meaner.

Cassel disagrees, explaining after Friday’s practice that he preferred “to be more uplifting” and saying, “I think I hold people accountable in different ways.”

On Dec. 8, Cassel had an emergency appendectomy. He sat out the Chiefs’ game at San Diego four days later, a 31-0 loss, but returned 11 days after his surgery to lead the Chiefs to a 27-13 victory at St. Louis.

He had six carries against the Rams, in a performance that receiver Chris Chambers labeled “gutsy.” Watching a teammate sacrifice his body for the team like that, Chambers said, “makes you want to make plays for him.”

Cassel knows his story reads like fiction. He said, “I’m always pinching myself.”

Lindsey Vonn celebrates after winning the women’s World Cup downhill in Altenmark-Zauchensee, Austria, Saturday.

Vonn takes women’s downhill for fourth victory of the season The Associated Press

A LT E N M A R K TZAUCHENSEE, Austria — Lindsey Vonn won a women’s downhill Saturday, earning her fourth victory of the season and moving within four victories of Anja Paerson’s record of 41 World Cup titles.

Vonn, the three-time defending overall champion, skied well off course in a sharp right turn but recovered to finish the 3-kilometer Kaelberloch course in 1 minute, 46.39 seconds.

Sweden’s Paerson placed second, 0.43 behind the American, to earn her first podium finish of the season.

It’s Vonn’s 20th career downhill title and 37th overall.

“It’s always great to win a race in Austria, it feels like a second home to me here,” said Vonn, who usually spends a month training in this region during the offseason.

Austria’s Anna Fenninger was 0.98 seconds back in third for her first top-3 finish in downhill, while World Cup leader Maria Riesch took fourth — another 0.07 back.

The German remained on top of the standings with 883 points, followed by Vonn with 747.

Vonn was the fastest starter but was not clean afterward.

“I almost ended up in the safety nets in the middle part,” she said. “I tried to forget about that and gain speed again in the next turn.

If you race aggressively, you can win much time on this course. ... my skis were really fast.”

Riesch was pleased with her performance after struggling with the course during the two days of training.

“It’s a shame to miss the podium by just 0.07, but I am very satisfied,” the German said. “I definitely did better today but made a mistake in the middle part. I lost speed and time there.”

The U.S. coaches and Vonn’s husband, Thomas, helped her prepare for the race during the course inspection.

“We always make a plan together, it gives me confidence going into the race,” she said.

“I’ve made a lot of mistakes this season, but I know I have to stay cool and avoid unnecessary risks.”

Paerson saw the first half of her season ruined by equipment troubles, but seems to have found the right set-up for the second part.

“The right feeling on the snow has always been key to the successes in my career,” she said. “If it doesn’t feel well, I can’t ski well.”

The Swede took a break around the start of the new

Featured Business of the Week: lunch dinner tasty

year to test new skis.

“From the first training here I felt that I was on the right way,” she said. “I even had the idea I could win today. Being on the podium is just what I wanted.”

Paerson, who started 17th, was ahead of Fenninger’s best time throughout. Her hopes of winning the downhill lasted for two racers, until Vonn sped down wearing bib 20.

A women’s World Cup super-G is scheduled for today in Altenmarkt-Zauchensee.

Also on Saturday: Ligety’s GS unbeaten streak ends ADELBODEN, Switzerland — Ted Ligety lost his unbeaten streak in World Cup giant slaloms, leaving Aksel Lund Svindal of Norway and Cyprien Richard of France to tie for the victory.

Svindal and Richard had a combined two-run time of 2 minutes, 25.28 seconds on the Kuonisbaergli course.

Thomas Fanara of France was 0.20 back in third.

Ligety led after the first run and was the last man to race with 0.66 in hand on the joint leaders, but he lost control midway through his run.

The American was seeking his fourth straight GS win, but crossed the line 3.65 seconds behind.

Richard got his first career World Cup win.

Richard and Fanara filled the podium places behind Ligety in the previous GS race at Alta Badia, Italy.

Pac-10 will show its superiority over SEC in BCS championship

By Bill Plaschke

Los Angeles Times

SCOTTSDALE, Ariz. — ar Eagle? War over.

Hide the hound’stooth, shelter the Swamp, vacate Death Valley, and hunker down between the hedges.

Hey, SEC football, board up your sweet home and turn down your Lynyrd Skynyrd and do it now, because you’re fixing to get punked by the Pac-10.

It’s happening here, Monday, in the Bowl Championship Series national title game, when Oregon will defeat Auburn in a long-awaited bout between conferences that have been circling each other for 22 years.

It will be close. It will be classic. Boundaries will be crossed.

Stereotypes will fall. The Pac10’s brains will overcome the SEC’s brawn. The Pac-10’s speed will race past the SEC’s swagger.

The Pac-10 will bring a heat that will wilt the SEC’s Heisman.

And, incidentally, if Pac-10 runner-up Stanford played Auburn, the same thing would happen, and you know it.

It’s about piercing perception. It’s about telling the truth.

It’s about time. These cultures haven’t clashed in a bowl game since 1989, when Washington crushed Florida in the 1989 Freedom Bowl. Since then, while the Pac-10 schools continue to beat each other into anonymity, the SEC powers have gotten fat on nonconference games against Louisiana trade schools and homecomings against Vanderbilt.

That the SEC has won six national titles in the 12 years since the origination of the BCS, while the Pac-10 has won only one, is indeed a convincing argument for the South. And this includes four consecutive SEC national titles before this season, making the SEC seemingly the best conference in college football.

Except for one thing. None of their six BCS title victories came against a Pac-10 school.

This was especially true in 2003, when Louisiana State and USC shared the championship. I attended the final game for both teams that year, and, like the oddsmakers, I would have rated USC at least a touchdown favorite if they had met for the title.

OK, I’m just being nice. The Trojans would have stomped them.

The two conferences and their supporters have been openly pining for each other since then, and now, finally, on a Pac-10 desert that is about as barren as the Auburn plains, they will meet.

“It’s an interesting argument,” said Lane Kiffin, the USC coach who coached at the SEC’s Tennessee last season. “In normal years, the SEC is stronger every year. This is the one year when it may have flopped.”

The SEC doesn’t have its usual depth this year; it’s 4-5 in bowl games with losses to Conference USA, the Big East and, gasp, the Big Ten. While the Pac10 only has four teams in bowl games, USC is on probation and every team plays nine conference games, one more than the

The University of Oregon football team warms up during practice Saturday at Pinnacle High School in Phoenix. Head coach Chip Kelly allowed the media to attend the first 15 minutes of practice. Loud music and light-hearted energy characterized the event.

Oregon Continued from D1 Harris, who uttered those words after Oregon defeated Arizona on Nov. 26 (“We’re looking at the Natty now”), is also a lockdown cornerback and a threat as a punt returner. He has returned four punts for touchdowns this season.

Oregon’s special teams could be a deciding factor on Monday night against Auburn.

“I feel like everybody on our special teams is important,” Harris said. “I’m not the only guy on special teams. The guys up front give me lanes, and create things for me to create things. Everybody is important. Special teams on our team is huge.”

Harris, a 5-foot-11-inch, 180pound sophomore from Fresno, Calif., averaged 19.5 yards per punt return this season.

Josh Huff, who will return kickoffs along with Kenjon Barner, averages 25.3 yards per kickoff return.

Perhaps the Ducks’ special teams will have a say in preventing the Southeastern Conference (SEC) from claiming a fifth straight national title.

“Everybody believes the SEC is better than the Pac-10 for some reason, I don’t know why,” Harris said. “But I don’t care for all that.

We’ll let our pads do the talking ... it’s going to be a battle.

“If the SEC thinks they’re going to just walk over us because they’re the SEC and we’re the Pac-10, then they’ve got another thing coming to them.”

Aside from his punt-returning talents, Harris has also made a name for himself at cornerback, with five interceptions this season.

Harris said he grew up dreaming of playing in the national championship game — and he specifically recalled the 2006 BCS title game, in which Texas quarterback Vince Young led the Longhorns to a thrilling 41-38 victory over USC. “When I was younger, I was watching the USC-Texas game with Vince Young and (USC running back) Reggie Bush,” Harris said. “I was like, ‘Man, I want to play in that game right there.’

Just the liveliness and the atmosphere, everybody going crazy.

It’s kind of surreal that I’m kind of living that game right now.”

Central Oregon fans enjoying Arizona Duck fans began descending on the Phoenix area in earnest Saturday, many of them coming from Central Oregon.

John Brenton, 65, of Redmond, arrived on Friday and had time for a round of golf on Saturday, a sunny day with high temperatures in the low 60s.

“It’s awesome down here,” Brenton said. “The weather was better than the golf, but it was pretty good. I can’t complain about playing golf in shorts and 60-degree weather. I saw the forecast was 36 (degrees) or something back in Bend.”

Brenton is staying with his daughter and son-in-law who live in Chandler, Ariz., near Phoenix.

Brenton became a Duck fan after his daughter attended the University of Oregon, and he has

Out to dinner in Scottsdale, Ariz., Friday night, Brenton was happy to see many Duck fans enjoying the lead-up to the biggest game in the history of Oregon football.

“There was a lot of Duck fans and Auburn fans coming and going,” Brenton said. “But I’ve seen a lot more Duck fans so far.”

Brenton, a board member of the Oregon Club of Central Oregon, said he plans to attend the UO Alumni Association’s Oregon Pep Rally in Old Town Scottsdale this evening.

Ducks continue practicing in Phoenix Loud music blared at Pinnacle High School in north Phoenix on Saturday as Oregon started its penultimate practice before the BCS National Championship Game. The first 15 minutes of the 1 1⁄2 -hour practice were open to the media.

In shorts and jerseys, the Ducks appeared loose, clapping in unison to different songs as they warmed up.

After practice, Oregon head coach Chip Kelly described it as a “normal Thursday practice,” meaning two days before the game.

“That’s kind of how our guys are on a Thursday,” Kelly said.

“We try to practice real hard early in the week, and then need to take them and get their legs back.

Their mindset today reminded me of what we’ve been like on the other 12 Thursdays.”

So many TV cameras and reporters surrounded Kelly after practice that at one point he had to announce that he was turning around so he would have room to do so.

He was asked if he has butterflies or nerves before a big game.

“No, just right now,” he said, getting laughs. “There’s a direct correlation between butterflies and microphones. Add ’em up.”

Oregon tight end David Paulson said he was finally starting to get excited for the game, now only one day away after a 35-day wait.

“But you don’t want to get excited too early,” Paulson said. “I think all of us are a little excited

and anxious to play on a big stage like this.”

The Oregon starter from Oregon One member of the Oregon offensive line, senior left tackle Bo Thran, is the only starter from the state of Oregon for the Ducks.

Thran, who played at Barlow High School in Gresham, is one of just 26 players from Oregon on the Ducks 117-man roster.

By contrast, the Ducks have 53 players from the state of California on their roster.

Thran said he did not have any allegiances to UO growing up, but the 6-foot-5-inch, 281pounder knew he wanted to play college football.

“I take a lot of pride in it — representing the state, being from Oregon, representing Oregon high school football,” Thran said.

“I just take a lot of pride in being from Oregon.”

Battle of the big men The matchup between Oregon’s undersized offensive line and Auburn’s hulkish defensive line — which includes Lombardi Trophy winner Nick Fairley — could be a key factor in the title game.

Zach Clayton, Auburn’s other defensive tackle, is almost just as much of a threat as Fairley, according to Oregon left guard Carson York.

“Fairley’s got more hardware on his mantle than our whole team,” York said. “I think the big problem is that his counterpart (Clayton) is about as good as anybody we’ve faced this year, too.

It’s not like we can leave him on an island and focus on Fairley.

Fairley doesn’t get the double team that other great defensive tackles get, because Clayton’s so good.

“That’s what makes it a tough assignment — they’re both really talented guys.”

York said teamwork is crucial in the zone blocking the Ducks employ to open up holes for LaMichael James and other ball carriers. Oregon leads the nation in scoring at 49.3 points per game and is ranked fourth in rushing yards per game, with 303.8.

“I know that I trust those guys

more than anybody else in my life,” York said of his line mates.

“That helps what we do. I don’t think any of us have any delusions that we’re exceptional athletes, but I think we believe in ourself as a unit.

“We’re some of the smallest offensive linemen in the Pac-10. But I think if I was 315 pounds, then I couldn’t do what I need to do for what we want to get done as an offense.”

Oregon right guard C.E. Kaiser agreed.

“We’re not 330 (pounds) or anything, but we have big hearts,” Kaiser said. “Our agility and speed all come into play. Even though we’re not the biggest offensive line, we can block pretty well.”

DEAL

SEC, so its tougher to survive.

And look what two of those four bowl teams have done, with Stanford whipping Virginia Tech and Washington upsetting Nebraska.

No matter what happens Monday, there will probably be two Pac-10 teams finishing the season ranked in the top four: Oregon and Stanford. That’s one more than the SEC, even though the Pac-10 has two fewer teams.

“You look at this year, SEC is not quite as strong, while the Pac-10 is the best it’s ever been, with one team in the national championship game and one team destroying everybody,” Kiffin said.

It’s always been closer than it looked. Since the formation of the Pac-10, the SEC leads only 54 in bowl games. In their last 21 meetings in the regular season, the Pac-10 leads, 12-9.

When it comes to turning out NFL players, at the start of this season, the SEC averaged 26 active pros per program and the Pac-10 averaged 22 pros, but the Pac-10 continually dominates the depth charts at the most important position — quarterback.

“The SEC is great on the front seven, so many teams have such great defensive players and linebackers, but out here it’s still the land of the quarterback,” Kiffin said.

The SEC also brags about having the best game environments, but that was before the emergence of Oregon’s Autzen Stadium. With the noise and proximity of fans, Autzen is now generally considered college football’s toughest venue.

I’ve been to most of the SEC joints, and none of them are filled with the same constant roar. And, sure, places such as Alabama and Florida and Tennessee are draped in tradition, but nowhere in the SEC can you find the history of the Coliseum, the majesty of the Rose Bowl or the beauty of Husky Stadium.

Then there’s the fans. OK, the SEC wins that one, now and forever. Their fans are far more nuts than Pac-10 fans. But is that a good thing? Kiffin talked about how his first spring game at Tennessee drew more fans — more than 50,000 — than Pete Carroll’s first real game at USC. “It’s just a different mindset,” Kiffin said. “Not bad, just different.”

Kiffin also talked about going to breakfast Saturday morning in El Segundo with his wife and children, a January day that would be filled with two NFL playoff games, one bowl game, and all sorts of BCS chatter, and guess what.

“Not one person said one thing to me about football,” he said. “I remember going to a brunch in Tennessee and talking so much football, I wasn’t even able to eat.”

Here’s guessing that Tuesday morning, fans throughout the SEC will not be able to eat, but for different reasons, as the conference of Gators and Tigers will have been paddled by a Duck.

Put that in your Waffle House and smoke it.

Thinning, burning and more urged near Sisters A range of tactics is needed to keep forest healthy, USFS says

Melissa Walker, 9, of Bend, holds on to her Australian shepherd, Jake, during the showmanship competition at the Deschutes County 4-H Dog Fun Match on Saturday at the Deschutes County Fair & Expo Center in Redmond. Melissa says she’s been training with Jake for about a year.

Just for fun (and helping hounds)

The 12,500-acre parcel of forestland south of Sisters, around the Three Creeks Lake recreation area, is a diverse area that calls for a range of treatments to improve forest health and help prevent the spread of large wildfires, according to a new proposal from the U.S. Forest Service.

As part of the Popper Project, the federal agency has proposed thinning out small trees, cutting down some larger trees that are infested with mistletoe, setting aside an area for firewood collection and igniting prescribed burns within roadless areas.

The agency is currently taking comments on the Popper Project proposal and will use them to draft an environmental planning document. The Popper Project will also be part of the Deschutes Skyline Collaborative Forest Landscape Restoration Program, and so will involve input from the new collaborative group.

WASHINGTON — Glitzy parties, new faces and a reading of the U.S. Constitution marked the first week of the 112th U.S. Congress. The real work in the U.S. House begins this week, while the U.S. Senate won’t begin considering new legislation until the last week of January.

In the meantime, Oregon’s U.S. senators each made a friendly wager with Alabama Sen. Jeff Sessions, a Republican, over the outcome of the BCS title game between the University of Oregon and Auburn University.

If Oregon wins, Sessions will wear a green and yellow tie and an Oregon lapel pin.

If Auburn wins, Sen. Ron Wyden, a Democrat, will wear a tie with Auburn’s blue and orange colors, while Sen. Jeff Merkley, also a Democrat, will wear an Auburn lapel pin.

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

raise funds for local 4-H dog groups.

Lisa Cooper, head of the Redmond-based “Dogs R Us” 4-H group, said local 4-H chapters have hosted the Dog Fun Match competitions for the last 10 years to raise money for supplies and equipment. Competitors of all abilities are welcome and pay $5 per event to enter. The next competition is scheduled for April.

Bachelor Kennel Club served as judges, scoring the dogs and their handlers, and quizzing young competitors on various aspects of canine anatomy and health.

Holly Baca, 13, of Redmond, showed her 4-year-old rat terrier, Carlos, in several events. Holly, who said she wants to be a veterinarian when she’s older, said the 4-H group has taught her a lot about animals.

“I do it just because I like animals. I like this dog,” she said.

“It’s different than school. You get to just hang out with friends and have fun.”

Holly’s mom, Tanya Baca, 39, said Carlos’ intensive training hasn’t necessarily made him a better-behaved dog outside of practicing and competing with Holly.

Ideas sought to improve Pine Nursery’s off-leash area

By Scott Hammers The Bulletin

The Bend Park & Recreation District is inviting the public to a meeting Wednesday to consider possible changes to the off-leash dog area at Pine Nursery Park.

Local residents will be able to share their ideas for the off-leash area with park district staff between 4:30 and 6 p.m. at the district office, located at 799 S.W. Columbia Street in Bend.

District Development Manager Norm Ziesmer said the 17-acre off-leash area was not part of the original plan for Pine Nursery Park, but has proven extremely popular and has since been added to the long-term master plan. Right now, the off-leash area is primarily dirt and native plants with a few trails winding through the property, but the park district is looking for suggestions about how to make the off-

leash area better.

Ziesmer said users of the offleash area have already suggested a number of amenities, including a turf area, a dog agility course and a pond where dogs could swim.

The existing trails are heavily used, he said, and are certain to remain in some form as the off-leash area develops.

In mid-December, the park district board approved a new version of the

master plan for Pine Nursery Park, which would reduce the size of the off-leash area to about 14 acres. The move drew some opposition from users of the off-leash area, but Ziesmer said there will be no reduction to the size of the off-leash area until future phases of the park are completed — possibly 10 to 25 years from now.

The park district has opened offleash areas at six parks around the area since 2009.

Juniper Elementary technology program honored

By Sheila G. Miller The Bulletin

Juniper Elementary’s technology magnet program has been named an Apple Exemplary Program for the 2010-11 school year.

According to a letter sent to Su-

perintendent Ron Wilkinson, the Apple Exemplary Program designation is for school programs that are “model implementations of Apple products and solutions.”

Juniper Elementary is one of four schools in Oregon to win the award,

and one of 40 nationwide.

The magnet program is in its sixth year; all students who attend Juniper Elementary participate in the magnet school’s specialized curriculum that makes technology a regular part of every

student’s education.

Principal Vicki Jenkins said Apple representatives visited the school, checking out several classrooms where students worked on projects involving technology.

LED fixtures give new distinction to landmark Lane County water tower

By Winston Ross

“These lights will change people’s perception about where they live.”

The (Eugene) Register-Guard

JUNCTION CITY — She was still Danuta Ryklo back then, and she’d only been on one date with the guy, sailing on Fern Ridge Lake. He asked her to meet him later that night, at the Scandinavian Festival in Junction City, beneath the town’s iconic water tower.

But Ryklo was new to Lane County at the time, and she lived in Veneta. She had no idea how to get to Junction City, much less find the water tower. He waited until midnight. She didn’t show.

It didn’t keep Robin Pfeiffer from proposing 12 days later, and the pair are happily married today, 16 years later. Even though she stood him up, Danuta Pfeiffer said the water tower still means something to her.

“It’s always had a special place in my heart,” she said.

And the next time someone proposes a late-night rendezvous there, not being able to find it will be a poor excuse.

Pfeiffer is part of Energize Junction City, a tourism-promoting group that has affixed a snazzy array of 22 LED fixtures on the tower. They put out a “hypnotic” array of color combinations, so varied that “you’d have to stand there for an hour to watch it repeat itself,” Pfeiffer said.

It’s 21st-century window dressing, and Pfeiffer and others are hoping the lights add some character to a town struggling to draw tourists, businesses and residents

— Danuta Pfeiffer, Junction City

Brian Davies / The (Eugene) Register-Guard

Residents of Junction City hope the newly illuminated water tower bearing the town’s name will help draw tourists. as the economy slowly rebounds, and Junction City transforms itself from a place that relied on RV sales and manufacturing to

something different.

“It’s a landmark in the city,” Pfeiffer said of the tower.

“These lights will change peo-

ple’s perception about where they live.”

The energy-efficient display uses less than 400 watts of power at full tilt, said John Swan of Conrich Electric LLC, the Eugene firm that installed the system.

However, it’s powerful enough to dress up the water tower in lights that could mirror any season.

“It’s like a living piece of art,” Swan said. “We’re basically painting with light, without any mess. You can’t take your eyes off it.”

It started with Christmas hues, but on New Year’s Eve, the beams were arranged to make the tower look like fireworks.

Halloween might be orange and black; the Fourth of July, red, white and blue.

On Sunday night, the colors were soft, their transitions a subtle fade from purple into blue, then white, green and yellow. The lights surround the circumference of the tower and the structure that supports it.

“There’s almost a limitless variety of light we can play with,” Pfeiffer said. “If the Ducks win on Monday, we’ll make it green.”

O Corvallis photographer points lens at fresh water

By Bennett Hall

The (Corvallis) Gazette-Times

CORVALLIS — Jeremy Monroe is too young to remember all those Jacques Cousteau TV specials that launched the undersea world into the popular consciousness in the 1960s. But he’s fully aware of the enduring impact they had on ocean conservation.

Now, through his own underwater video work, he wants to do the same thing for rivers, lakes and streams.

“A couple generations of marine biologists probably got the first bug in their head” from following Cousteau’s undersea adventures on television, Monroe said.

“In some ways, that’s kind of what we aspire to help build for freshwater — to help build a freshwater aesthetic and help build an appreciation for the beauty and importance of freshwater ecosystems.”

Monroe started using underwater photography — both still and video — during his graduate work in river ecology at Colorado State University. Part of his research focused on caddisfly and mayfly larvae, but when he searched for images of these aquatic invertebrates, most of what he found were fly-tying patterns.

It struck him that the public’s consciousness of freshwater life was largely limited to game fish, shaped by images of trophy bass, trout and salmon hoisted aloft by grinning anglers.

He decided to do something about it.

In 2004, two years after he finished grad school, Monroe launched Freshwaters Illustrat-

“My main motivation is there’s a whole lot to share and celebrate about rivers, wetlands, lakes and the people who are either working to understand them or conserve them.”

— Jeremy Monroe

ed, a nonprofit organization that seeks to educate people about the richness and complexity of the freshwater realm by letting them see it for themselves.

Supported by membership fees and grants, Monroe dons a wetsuit and snorkel mask, takes his cameras into rivers and streams, lakes and marshes and comes back with arresting images of life beneath the surface.

Aquatic ‘heavyweight’ He relocated from Colorado to Oregon in 2006, settling with his family in Mapleton. In 2008, they made the move to Corvallis, where they’ve found themselves in good company.

“OSU is a heavyweight when it comes to aquatic ecology,” Monroe said. “Between the university and the (government) agencies, there may be more aquatic biologists per capita in Corvallis than any other city in the U.S.” Freshwaters Illustrated’s first major video production, “RiverWebs” — a documentary on pioneering Japanese ecologist Shigeru Nakano — aired last year on PBS. Other projects include an educational video on river restoration for the Freshwater Trust, another on bull trout for the U.S. Fish & Wildlife Service and an upcoming episode

O B Grand jury clears officer in shooting

Higher ed board OKs summer tuition bump

PORTLAND — A Multnomah County grand jury has cleared Portland police officer Bradley Clark after he shot and wounded a suspect in December.

Clark and seven other officers found 34-year-old Marcus Lagozzino outside a Portland home. He had physically assaulted his parents, then armed himself with a machete and broke windows in the house.

The Multnomah County District Attorney’s Office says Lagozzino’s parents have filed a restraining order against him.

Lagozzino faces assault, harassment and menacing charges, all of which will be deferred pending mental health treatment.

Officers fired a stun gun and beanbag rounds at Lagozzino, none of which had any effect.

Clark, a four-year veteran of the police bureau, then fired four rounds from an AR-15 rifle, striking Lagozzino at least three times.

PORTLAND — The Oregon State Board of Higher Education has approved an average 7 percent increase in summer tuition and fees at the state’s seven universities.

Jay Kenton is vice chancellor for finance and administration for the Oregon University System.

He says the increases approved Friday generally reflect efforts by the universities to gradually bring their summer tuition up to the level of charges during the regular school year.

Tuition and fees for full-time Oregon students next summer will range from $1,584 at Eastern Oregon University in La Grande to $2,094 at Oregon State University in Corvallis.

The Oregonian says those costs are up between 0.2 percent and 12 percent at each campus.

However, they are on average 12 percent less than the costs per term during the regular school year.

Oak Grove shooting suspect still at large

Search and rescue dog headed to Westminster

OAK GROVE — The Clackamas County Sheriff’s Office says a suspect in a shooting at an Oak Grove mobile home remains at large, along with his driver.

Deputies responded to the home Friday night to find 47year-old Daniel Charles Johnson with multiple gunshot wounds.

He was in a hospital in stable condition Saturday.

They say the suspect, 21-yearold Michael A. Mazzi, knew the victim and didn’t get along with him. Mazzi allegedly showed up at Johnson’s home, got into a fight with him and then shot him before hopping into a car driven by 19-year-old Kady Lee Vaden.

Police say Vaden is a person of interest in the investigation.

Mazzi is also wanted on a burglary warrant issued last month.

KLAMATH FALLS — A Klamath Falls dog named Gideon is leading a double life. Certified when he was just a year old to join the Klamath County Search and Rescue Team, the dog owned by Marlene Palmer has helped out on several large searches.

Next month, Gideon and his owner will head to the Westminster Dog Show in New York City.

Gideon is a Beauceron, a French herding dog, and he won his first show competition at just 10 months of age.

Palmer says her dog is the No. 4 Beauceron in the country right now, so he has an opportunity to compete at Westminster. She tells KDRV it’s a once in a lifetime opportunity for both of them.

Freshwaters Illustrated also conducts workshops in underwater photography, training scientists to be better visual chroniclers of the subsurface realms they work in. Early next year, Monroe hopes to hire his first full-time employee to create an archive of stock images that can be used by scientists, educators and the media.

Like Jacques Cousteau before him, he hopes to change the popular image of an important but often invisible part of the world around us.

“My main motivation is there’s a whole lot to share and celebrate about rivers, wetlands, lakes and the people who are either working to understand them or conserve them,” Monroe said.

“It’s kind of this hidden beauty that’s at our feet. Water’s all around us in the Northwest, whether it’s a big river like the Willamette or a little stream like Oak Creek. And they’re just full of life.”

One-time Bend carpenter A new challenge: dives for riches instead in ’86 more young people 100 YEARS AGO For the week ending Jan. 8, 1911 RAILROAD WORK E.W. Monahan, superintendent of construction for Henry & McFee, the Oregon trunk contractors, was in Bend Tuesday, and announced that all bridge and trestle work beyond Crooked River is completed.

Work at the Crooked River bridge is being pushed, and it is the desire of the builders to have all work in and the concrete piers well set in order to receive the steel as soon as the track is laid to the river. The 1,500-foot trestle just south of the bridge will be completed this week.

That the track-laying machine will not be tied up by unfinished grades now seems certain. From Madras to a point three miles south of Redmond, the road bed is completed, with the exception of one heavy cut a mile south of Hillman. Between Bend and Redmond, stretches of the road bed are being completed every few days.

Joe Rock, who has charge of the work a mile south of the railroad crossing over the Pilot Butte canal, has all of the right-of-way cleared, and the grading work is progressing very rapidly. This is where the Y is to be located.

BUILD ON BOND STREET C.E. Myers and F.J. Wilkey recently bought lot 11, block 11, Bend, from the Bend Townsite Co. This property is on the west side of Bond street, opposite the Wenandy barn. J.B. Montague now has a force of men constructing a two-story building 24 x 60 feet, the lower floor of which will be used for a saloon. The building will be constructed as rapidly as possible as the owners desire to have it completed by February 1.

L.B. Baird has leased to J.R. Williams the lot adjoining the J.R. Williams saloon on Bond and Oregon streets. The Bend Construction Co. is now erecting for Mr. Williams a building 50 x 60 feet on this lot. It will be one story and arranged for a lodging house of 28 rooms. The contractors expect to finish their work within a month.

TO PLAY HANDBALL The Bend Athletic Association has installed the larger part of its gymnasium apparatus, and regular class work will begin tonight under the direction of A.R. Dorris.

The club will hold a meeting in its rooms over Linster’s Hall Friday night, at which time the matter of arranging various athletic teams will be taken up.

The handball tournament that starts tonight is open to all members of the association.

75 YEARS AGO For the week ending Jan. 8, 1936 ECLIPSE OF MOON SEEN AS OMEN IN ETHIOPIAN RITES Ethiopia’s celebration of its Christmas festival reached a wild

Y E S T E R D AY climax last night in a total eclipse of the moon — a fearful omen.

Residents huddled in knots in the streets, moaning, praying and yodeling wildly, joining the hyenas in the outskirts in howling for the return of the moon.

Through yesterday — Guna or hockey day — there were hockey tournaments, in some of which there were 200 men to a side. At the end of each game, there was a brawl in which the losers comported themselves by cracking their sticks over the victors’ skulls. Later, the teams joined in drowning their sorrows or celebrating their victories. Though the games were rough, they were gentle compared to those of old days, residents said.

Emperor Haile Selassie frowns on brutal sports as he is trying to modernize the country.

BIG KENWOOD JUNIPER IS FELLED BY MISTAKE When workers leveling the Kenwood school grounds preliminary to the planting of a lawn gathered around a big juniper tree on the grounds yesterday with axes, picks and shovels, an aroused neighborhood went into action, but the stately tree was down before the industrious workmen could be stopped.

The tree felled by the ground leveling crew yesterday was one of the finest on the school property, nearly 50 feet high, and people living near the school believed that it should be left on the grounds, as a scenic asset. Earlier, a protest had been made when several trees near the east corner of the Kenwood building were cut down.

People of the Kenwood community who saw the men chopping down the big juniper yesterday immediately called members of the school board and several of the directors hastily converged on the Kenwood property, but the tree was too far gone to halt the work.

J.D. Donovan, school board chairman, today said that no orders had been given to cut down the big juniper and that it had been felled through a misunderstanding.

It is estimated that the big tree, one of the few remaining on the Kenwood property, was 500 or 600 years old.

50 YEARS AGO For the week ending Jan. 8, 1961 WRONG DIRECTION FOR ‘FAREWELL BEND’ Right — or wrong: “Bend was called Farewell Bend by early travelers who rested there after the long and dreary trip across the arid wastes to the east, then reluctantly bade goodbye to the refreshing spot as they forded the sparkling Deschutes River, to forge on toward the Willamette Valley.”

This is the derivation of Bend’s pioneer name as given in a magazine of nationwide circulation.

It is nearly 100 percent wrong.

The name was not given by the pioneers who came across the

High Desert from the east, but by groups traveling north and south over the inland trail through the Deschutes country.

The stopping place for the north-south travel, or vice versa, was the old Farewell Bend Ranch, just south of the city limits of the present. At the ranch, the earlyday road swerved in from the sagebrush and juniper country to a low place on the Deschutes, where stock could be watered.

Northbound travel veered into the Crooked River country from the Farewell Bend Ranch — so it was farewell to a nice stopping place. Southbound travel, moving east of Lava Butte, also left the river.

Few parties of immigrants came across the High Desert to Farewell Bend. There is no evidence that they named the place.

One group, remnants of the Lost Train of 1845, was not certain of its trail, and was in no meed to assign place names.

Members of the wandering immigrants of 1853 camped here, but had no idea, when they headed south, that they were leaving the river. Actually, those lean immigrants came back to the Deschutes in the upriver region.

The first immigrants did not “forge on toward the Willamette” from the Farewell Bend of a later day. Jagged lava beds barred passage over the McKenzie. The Santiam divide was a wilderness not penetrated for years later.

Survivors of the Lost Wagon Train of 1845 moved north from Central Oregon for a crossing of the Deschutes at the Sherars Bridge site of later years. The immigrants of 1853 crossed the Deschutes to the south and made their way into Lane County via the Middle Fork.

It is too bad that John Y. Todd or John Sisemore of the old Farewell Bend Ranch did not leave a written account of the derivation of the name of the ranch.

That ranch, with the help of the U.S. Postal Department, which objected to “Farewell,” gave Bend its name.

25 YEARS AGO For the week ending Jan. 8, 1986 TREASURE LURES EX-BEND MAN Former Bend carpenter Don Deeks makes a living doing what most people dream about. He is a full-time treasure hunter, now based in Key West, Fla., and a successful one.

His days are spent diving in the Atlantic Ocean and bringing up the precious cargo of the 17th-century Spanish galleon, the “Nuestra Senora De Atocha.”

By the end of March, he could be $100,000 richer because of his work.

Deeks works for celebrated treasure hunter Mel Fisher, the adventurer whose exploits made the headlines last year when he found the ship off the Florida coastline about 40 miles west of Key West.

Fisher had searched for 16 years before he found the rotting re-

mains of the ship.

Deeks, whose parents live in Bend, is now faced with a problem: what to do with his share of the treasure.

He says that he is entitled to one-half of one percent of the proceeds, and its a case of “keep or sell.”

Deeks began diving as a sport and hobby when he was an 11-year-old living with his family in Southern California.

He moved to Oregon with his parents in 1980, and worked as a carpenter for a Bend building contractor until joining the Diving Institute of Technology in Seattle in 1983. After graduating, he moved to Fort Lauderdale to work on underwater construction projects.

But he soon found another interest: treasure diving.

“I thought that treasure diving would be more fun than building bridges and laying underwater pipes,” he said.

Once he heard Fisher had found the main pile of the wreck of the “Atocha” and needed divers, Deeks took along his résumé and moved in.

When Fisher found the wreck, sunk in 1622, he offered 50 percent of the find to the U.S. government in return for salvage rights, but according to Deeks, the government wanted all of it. Fisher then took the case to the Supreme Court and won.

“The first estimate of the value of the find was about $400 million,” said Deeks. “But we’ve found a lot of uncut emeralds, and the manifests from Spain showed no emeralds. It looks like the officers aboard were smuggling emeralds.”

Don estimates that about $200 million worth of the treasure has been brought up from the ocean floor so far.

The “Atocha” carried about 200 crewmen and passengers, most of the latter rich landlords returning home to Spain from Havana aboard the well-armed vessel. Deeks said the ship carried at least 15 bronze cannons, which have been found on the ocean floor, along with some 250,000 pieces of eight and 500-odd pieces of silver bullion, each weighing about 80 pounds.

The treasure cargo was returning to Spain to help finance the aspirations of young King Phillip IV, who was waging wars around the world. Its loss changed history, Deeks said.

“Sharks are one worry, but we’re inside a reef and there’s only a few,” Deeks said. “Nobody’s been attacked. The biggest problem is getting excited with a find and using up your air.”

Deeks is now vacationing in Bend with his parents.

in nursing homes

By Matt Sedensky

The Associated Press

SARASOTA, Fla. — Adam Martin doesn’t fit in here. No one else in this nursing home wears Air Jordans. No one else has stacks of music videos by 2Pac and Jay-Z. No one else is just 26.

It’s no longer unusual to find a nursing home resident who is decades younger than his neighbor: About one in seven people now living in such facilities in the U.S. is under 65. But the growing phenomenon presents a host of challenges for nursing homes, while patients like Martin face staggering isolation.

“It’s just a depressing place to live,” Martin says. “I’m stuck here. You don’t have no privacy at all. People die around you all the time. It starts to really get depressing because all you’re seeing is negative, negative, negative.”

The number of under-65 nursing home residents has risen about 22 percent in the past eight years to about 203,000, according to an analysis of statistics from the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services. That number has climbed as mental health facilities close and medical advances keep people alive after they’ve suffered traumatic injuries. Still, the overall percentage of nursing home residents 30 and younger is less than 1 percent.

‘Lonely here’ Martin was left a quadriplegic when he was accidentally shot in the neck last year by his stepbrother. He spent weeks hospitalized before being released to a different nursing home and eventually ended up in his current residence, the Sarasota Health and Rehabilitation Center. There are other residents who are well short of retirement age, but he is the youngest.

The yellow calendar on the wall of Martin’s small end-ofthe-hall room advertises activities such as arts and crafts. In the small common room down the hall, a worker draws a bingo ball and intones, “I-16. I-onesix.” As Martin maneuvers his motorized wheelchair through the hallway, most of those he passes have white hair and wrinkled skin.

“It’s lonely here,” Martin says, as a single tear drips from his right eye.

Martin exchanges muted hellos with older residents as he travels down the hall to smoke outside. His entire daily routine, from showering to eating to enjoying a cigarette, is dictated by the schedules of those on whom he relies for help.

He usually wakes up late, then waits for an aide to shower him, dress him and return him to his wheelchair. He watches

Adam Martin, left, works with physical therapist Wes Bower at the Sarasota Health and Rehabilitation Center. Martin is 26, but younger patients are less of a rarity in U.S. nursing homes.

TV, goes to therapy five days a week and waits most days for his friend to bring him meals.

He mostly keeps to himself, engaging in infrequent and superficial conversations with his elders.

Martin’s parents are unable to care for him at home. His father is a truck driver who is constantly on the road, and his stepmother is sick with lupus.

Medicaid pays his bills; it could take a lawsuit for him to get care outside a nursing home.

Generational friction Advocates who help young patients find alternatives to nursing homes say people are often surprised to learn there are so many in the facilities. About 15 percent of nursing home residents are under 65.

“When I tell people I try to get kids out of nursing homes, they have no idea,” says Katie Chandler, a social worker for the nonprofit Georgia Advocacy Office.

The same generational tensions that exist outside nursing homes are inside them as well, and are sometimes exacerbated by the often close confines.

Older residents complain about loud music and visitors, younger residents complain about living with someone with dementia or being served creamed spinach. Many nursing homes try to house younger residents together, though in many cases their small numbers make that difficult.

For young people who find themselves newly disabled, the psychological and social needs are often even more challenging than their physical demands.

That presents a challenge for nursing homes that are used to serving people near the ends of their lives.

Delta fish numbers continue to languish in California

By Mike Taugher

Contra Costa Times

WALNUT CREEK, Calif. — Delta fish continued to languish at very depressed levels in 2010, according to the latest numbers from the California Department of Fish and Game.

A key annual survey performed each fall showed the Delta smelt population continues to hover at a level some biologists believe is near extinction, while year-old striped bass, a popular sport fish, dropped to a record low.

Not all the news for Delta fish is bad though. Salmon returns this year have been the strongest in a couple of years, leading to optimism that anglers may get more than the paltry eight-day fishing season commercial fishermen got in off California in 2010 — a season that followed two years of unprecedented closures.

Meanwhile, the water supply picture is also one of good news and bad news, while plans to find a long-term solution to the Delta’s problems await a new state administration and a pivotal scientific analysis expected in the next month or two.

The Sierra snowpack is about double the average at this early stage. But ongoing La Niña conditions — defined by colder-thannormal sea temperatures in the equatorial Pacific — can lead to drier winters later in the year, particularly in Southern California.

Questions remain And while new environmental restrictions on pumping water out of the Delta have had only minor to moderate effects on pumping rates to date — despite the loud claims from politicians and national media figures to the contrary — the new restrictions could have a more substantial effect if 2011 becomes a wet year.

“I think the water is there. The question is going to be, ‘Are we going to be able to pump it?’” said Laura King Moon, assistant general manager for the State Water Contractors, which represents the Metropolitan Water District of Southern California and other customers of massive state-owned pumps in the Delta.

The fall index for Delta smelt rose to 29 in 2010, one year after dipping to an all-time low of 17.

Baby striped bass fell to 43, a record low.

Those fish, longfin smelt and threadfin shad, all plummeted in about 2002 and caused alarm a few years later when it was clear they were not rebounding.

The decline set off calls for new restrictions on Delta water pumping, which increased about the same time the fish populations dropped.

The Delta and San Francisco Bay form the largest estuary on the West Coast, and the Delta also is a key source of irrigation and drinking water for about twothirds of the state.

Salmon, unlike smelt and other imperiled Delta fish, migrate through the Delta and spend much of their lives in rivers and in the ocean. “(Salmon returns) are substantially up, but with the caveat that the return in 2009 was the lowest ever observed,” said Mike O’Farrell, a fisheries biologist at the National Marine Fisheries Service in Santa Cruz. “We are happy about that.”

The reason for their rebound is that when the adult salmon that returned this fall were babies in 2008, they migrated out of the Bay into the best feeding conditions in the Pacific Ocean in 25 to 30 years, said Bill Peterson, an oceanographer for the national fisheries service in Oregon.

Cold water in the northern Pacific that year encouraged currents that brought plenty of food to the California coast.

Salmon collapse On the other hand, the shocking collapse in 2007 of the Sacramento River’s fall-run chinook salmon — the backbone of California’s commercial salmon fishery for more than a century — was largely due to extremely poor ocean conditions in 2005, when those fish migrated out to sea, Peterson said.

The summer of 2005 was “one of the worst ocean conditions we’ve ever had,” he said.

But, Peterson added, the health of California’s salmon population is not entirely dependent on natural fluctuations in the ocean.

Scientists have said that a string of very good years in the ocean masked deteriorating conditions in the Delta, and when ocean conditions flipped and food was scarce, the salmon population took a stunning downturn.

“It’s largely ocean, but I remind people it’s not all ocean. There are two parts to the story,” Peterson said.

Meanwhile, the Bay Delta Conservation Plan would build a new set of tunnels at a cost of more than $12 billion beneath the Delta to eliminate the disruptions caused by massive pumps in the south Delta. It would also create a new wetlands restoration program.

Analyses done so far have

led government biologists to argue that the plan might harm fish rather than help them, a conclusion that could doom the project.

Complicating matters is the fact that big farm districts that would provide significant financing for the plan want at least as much wa-

ter as they have been getting and guarantees that water will continue to flow.

If they drop out of the plan, the effort could implode because it shifts costs to other agencies that could, in turn, find the increased costs make their share uneconomical.

“(Salmon returns) are substantially up, but with the caveat that the return in 2009 was the lowest ever observed.”

Bertil Nelson, of Bend, passed away Thursday. He was 94. A celebration of Bertil's life will be held at 2 p.m. today, at the home of Bertil & Ivis Nelson.

Bertil was born Aug. 24, 1916, in Bend to Knute and Anna Nelson.

He was born in the family's farmhouse on Nelson Bertil Nelson Road, which was named for the family.

Bertil and his twin sister, Betty, were the second set of twins born in the area, prior to the formation of Deschutes County.

Bertil graduated from Bend High School in 1934. He married Ivis Anderson on Feb. 11, 1941.

Bertil worked for many years as a timber faller for Brooks-Scanlon. Aside from a short stint working in the gold mines in Alaska, Bertil's life and work stayed very close to home. In 1947, he and Ivis began a farming operation, raising potatoes, hay and dairy cattle. With their son and daughter-in-law, they owned and operated Nelson Potatoes. In 1972, he retired from the dairy operation and took up full-time fishing for fun. After his retirement, Bertil enjoyed turning and baling hay, assisting with potato processing and other farm operations.

Bertil is survived by his wife of nearly 70 years, Ivis; his son, Gary, and daughter-inlaw, Carolee, of Bend; granddaughter, Lynnette Konop and her husband, Patrick, of Redmond; and great-grandchildren Ryan and Molly Konop, of Redmond.

Harries gave warning of NYC’s 1975 fiscal crisis New York Times News Service

Brenton Harries, the Standard & Poor’s president whose public alarm over New York’s ballooning debt foreshadowed the city’s 1975 fiscal crisis, died Dec. 26 in Poinciana, Fla., where he had retired. He was 82.

On April 2, 1975, Standard & Poor’s suspended its A rating, the third-highest, of New York City bonds, which meant that the agency no longer considered them a good investment. It was a stunning vote of no confidence, in contrast to the continued optimism of Moody’s, the other major rating agency, and city officials denounced it.

“We watched the animosity, distrust and suspicion building between the banks and the city, and the numbers — the numbers were just too big,” Harries later recalled.

“We became convinced that the banks might take a walk.

We decided that the situation had reached a point where default on a note issue or a failure to make a bond interest payment could be more real than imagined.”

Gen. Vang Pao fought Communists for CIA Charismatic leader later revered among Hmong in the U.S.

By Douglas Martin

New York Times News Service

Vang Pao, a charismatic Laotian general who commanded a secret army of his mountain people in a long, losing campaign against Communist insurgents, then achieved almost kinglike status as their leader-in-exile in the United States, died Thursday in Clovis, Calif. He was 81.

His death was confirmed by Michael Bailey, a spokesman for the Clovis Community Medical Center.

Vang Pao was a general in the official Laotian Army, the chief of a secret army financed by the Central Intelligence Agency and the undisputed leader of the varied factions of his people, the Hmong. Tens of thousands of them followed him in his flight to Thailand after the Communist victory in 1975. Later, in the United States, he was so revered that some of his people believed he had supernatural powers.

“He is like the earth and the sky,” Houa Thao, a Hmong refugee, said in an interview with The Fresno Bee in 2007.

That year, Vang Pao was charged with plotting to provide $10 million in arms to anti-government forces in Laos in a conspiracy of such dimensions that U.S. prosecutors compared it to the Sept. 11 terrorist attacks.

The charges were dropped two years later.

Even before President Dwight D. Eisenhower’s vow in 1960 that Laos must not fall to the Communists, the country was immersed in bloody conflict. Its importance grew immensely during the Vietnam War, when most of the Ho Chi Minh Trail, the serpentine route that North Vietnam used to funnel supplies southward, ran through Laotian territory.

The U.S. wanted to interdict the supply route, rescue pilots shot down over Laos and aid anti-Communist forces in a continuing civil war, but was hampered in doing so publicly because Laos was officially neutral, so the CIA recruited Vang Pao for the job. At the time, he held the highest rank ever achieved by a Hmong in the Royal Laotian Army, major general.

The Hmong are a tribe in the fog-shrouded mountains separating Laos from southern China, and they were natural allies for the CIA because of their enmity toward Laotian lowlanders to the south, who dominated the Communist leadership.

Vang Pao quickly organized

7,000 guerrillas, then steadily increased the force to 39,000, leading them in many successful battles, often against daunting odds. William Colby, CIA director in the mid-1970s, called him “the biggest hero of the Vietnam War.” Lionel Rosenblatt, president emeritus of Refugees International, in an interview with The New York Times Magazine in 2008, put it more bluntly, saying Vang Pao’s Hmong were put “into this meat grinder, mostly to save U.S. soldiers from fighting and dying there.”

Congressional committees discussed the war in secret sessions at the time it was being fought, and the press uncovered significant details. But the U.S. government did not officially recognize the Hmong’s contribution until 1997, when the Clinton administration authorized a plaque at Arlington National Cemetery saying that the valor of Vang Pao’s troops would never be forgotten.

Vang Pao was born in December 1929 in a village in northeast Laos, had six years of sporadic schooling and worked as an interpreter for French colonial forces fighting the Japanese in World War II. He became a sergeant in the French colonial

army, and, in 1954, an officer in the army of the newly independent Laos.

When the CIA approached him in 1960, he was already fighting Laotian Communists.

The next year, he would also fight Communists from Vietnam after they had crossed the Laotian border. The Timesin 1971 said that the CIA did not command the general’s army at any level, because his pride and temper would have never permitted it.

The general led troops into combat personally, suffered serious wounds and was known to declare: “If we die, we die together. Nobody will be left behind.” About 35,000 Hmong died in battle.

Vang Pao was also skilled at uniting the 18 clans of Hmong.

One technique was to marry women from different tribes, as multiple marriages were permitted in Laos. He had to divorce all but one of his five wives when he went to the U.S. in 1975, settling on a ranch in Montana.

His son Chu Vang told The Bee in 2007 that Vang Pao had fathered more than 20 children and had more than 40 grandchildren. Complete information about survivors was not available.

David Trager, judge in Crown Heights case New York Times News Service

NEW YORK — David Trager, a federal judge in Brooklyn whose rulings were pivotal in a racially charged case in Crown Heights and in the first civil suit to challenge the Bush administration’s practice of sending terrorism suspects to countries that employ torture, died Wednesday at his home in Brooklyn. He was 73.

The cause was pancreatic cancer, his wife, Roberta Weisbrod, said.

After three decades as a lawyer, state investigation commissioner, federal prosecutor and law school professor and dean, Trager was named to the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District by President Bill Clinton in 1993. After assuming senior status in 2006, Trager worked full time until recently. The district encompasses Brooklyn, Queens, Staten Island, and Nassau and Suffolk counties.

Vang Pao, center, a Laotian general who achieved almost kinglike status among Hmong refugees in the U.S., died Thursday in Clovis, Calif., at 81.

Trager, a Republican known for political independence, was U.S. attorney for the Eastern District from 1974 to 1978. He was also a professor at Brooklyn Law School for 17 years and, for a decade, its dean. From 1983 to 1990, he headed the State Commission of Investigation, and in the 1980s he advised New York mayors on judicial appointments and helped to revise the City Charter.

But he was perhaps best known as the judge in the trial of two black men, Lemrick Nelson Jr. and Charles Price, who were convicted in 1997 of civil rights violations for their roles in the kill-

ing of a Hasidic scholar, Yankel Rosenbaum, in 1991 on a night of mob violence in Crown Heights.

The verdict appeared to close a wrenching case that had exemplified troubled race relations in New York. But an appeals court overturned it in 2002, saying that Trager, in trying to seat a racially and religiously balanced jury, had improperly manipulated the panel’s composition. The court said he had erred in a well-intended desire to be fair and to avoid a polarizing verdict, but had violated constitutional trial guarantees.

Nelson was retried and again convicted; Price entered a guilty plea.

Hummingbird pair faces winter in chilly La Grande

By Bill Rautenstrauch The La Grande Observer

LA GRANDE — Here’s a story about a couple of hummingbirds who didn’t get while the getting was good.

Now they’re the most unusual of living creatures. Deep in the winter — the time when sensible feathered bipeds of their ilk have flown to more hospitable places — the two male representatives of the species Anna’s Hummingbirds are living very close to Ronnie Allen’s home in La Grande.

In recent days, the tiny critters have endured temperatures near zero. Allen worries over them constantly, watching out a back

window each morning to see if they return to the feeder he keeps for them. They keep coming back. Allen is optimistic his little charges will survive the winter.

“If they can live through fivedegree temperatures like they have, I think they’ll make it,” he said.

Anna’s Hummingbirds, named for Anna Massena, the Duchess of Rivoli, are native to America’s west coast, from southern Canada to northern Baja California, and inland to Arizona.

They live in wooded and shrubby areas and mountain meadows. They get their nourishment from the nectar of

flowers, from tree sap and from insects.

Though they live mainly along the Pacific Coast, they are showing up in inland regions in the Pacific Northwest in increasing numbers these days.

Trent Bray, a local bird expert, said Anna’s Hummingbirds sometimes get carried to these regions by the wind. Other times they show up simply because they’ve decided to fly and explore new lands.

“They come in micro-migrations. I call them a pioneer species. It’s probably built into them to try and go new places,” Bray said.

and hopes to buy more through fundraising efforts.

In the past, Apple handed out Distinguished School Awards, which were for schools that had an initiative to create a ratio of one computer to every student.

“They realized, looking at programs around the nation, that there are lots of great things happening that are not that oneon-one (ratio),” Jenkins said.

“When we designed our magnet program, we purposely were not looking at one-on-one, because we wanted to look at that collaboration piece (among students).”

Scott McDonald, Juniper Elementary’s instructional teaching coach, said Apple was impressed by the support system available to the school’s teachers.

“Many of their exemplary awards go to schools that have purchasing power and do really make a choice to stay up with the latest gadgets,” McDonald said. “The reason they liked us is we’re committed to the teach-

er support and having kids collaborate.”

McDonald spends half his day visiting different classrooms throughout the school, teaching or co-teaching lessons that involve technology and helping teachers with any technology issues they may have.

“There’s an excitement when kids are learning with technology,” McDonald said. “My favorite part is definitely working with the kids with technology and knowing that it’s one of the highlights of their day and mine.”

Apple will present the award at a school board meeting in the coming months.

“We’re excited because this recognition is really a reflection of the hard work and dedication of our teachers over the last five years since we began our magnet,” Jenkins said.

Holly Baca, 13, of Redmond, answers questions from judge Kelli Eldridge while her rat terrier Carlos yawns on Saturday at the Deschutes County 4-H Dog Fun Match.

Match Continued from C1 “He’s great at school, at practice,” Tanya Baca said. “It’s just like children, they’re great at school; at home, ehhh.”

Melissa Walker, 9, of Bend, said she’s been working with Jake, a 3-year-old Australian shepherd, for about a year. He’s getting better — Jake can now

Sisters Continued from C1 That restoration program, which could receive as much as $10 million from the federal Department of Agriculture to treat 100,000 acres over the next decade, was developed by The Nature Conservancy, the Central Oregon Intergovernmental Council and others. Anyone can join the collaborative group, which is designed to advise the Forest Service on landscape-scale forest treatment projects.

The Popper Project was originally smaller in scope, said Brian Tandy, silviculturist with the Sisters Ranger District, and was designed just to reduce the risk of fire around the popular Three Creeks recreation spot. But then the agency expanded the area, which now borders the proposed Skyline Community Forest.

In some areas, he said, the agency is proposing to do typical thinning treatments to cut out small trees and mow shrubs from overcrowded forest stands. Around communities, treatments would be designed to help prevent wildfires from damaging homes and property.

But there are other issues in the Popper area as well, he said.

“In this area, there’s a fairly good chunk of the ponderosa pine areas infected with dwarf mistletoe, which presents some challenges,” Tandy said.

Mistletoe is a parasitic plant that slowly causes the tree to deterio-

sit still for a full minute, Melissa said, a significant accomplishment for a dog who likes to run — but still needs more practice if they’re going to be ready for the 4-H Fair in August.

Mt. Bachelor Kennel Club volunteer Leilani Farrier, 54, of Redmond, said showing dogs can nearly take over your life. When she got her first Rottweiler nearly 30 years ago, she signed up for an obedience class only because she

wanted a well-behaved pet — but then, her trainer suggested she enter her dog in a local competition.

“I wasn’t planning on showing until she told me to go to a show and see how it goes, and I got three blue ribbons,” Farrier recalled. “I was hooked, and I’ve been doing it ever since.”

rate. And when it gets in the canopy of big trees, it basically rains seeds down on the smaller trees, spreading the infection, he said.

“If you get it in the overstory of trees ... , the trees coming up don’t have a chance,” he said.

The Forest Service has proposed three different ways to deal with mistletoe-infested stands, Tandy said.

In stands where there are fewer than three large trees — wider than 21 inches — per acre, the plan would be to kill the trees but leave them standing for wildlife habitat. Stands where there are 15 or more large trees are considered old-growth, Tandy said. In those stands, the big trees would be left standing but crews could cut out some of the smaller trees or shrubs or set prescribed fires.

In mistletoe-infected stands with between four and 14 large trees, however, the agency is proposing to kill some of those big trees for wildlife habitat, but also allow loggers to cut down and remove the remaining big trees.

In most other projects in the Deschutes National Forest, logging crews can only cut trees smaller than 21 inches.

But doing so will help get rid of some of the mistletoe as well as provide timber, Tandy said.

“We’ve got an industry that we need to have in place that helps us do this work,” he said. “There are some options here that can meet long-term objectives and still support the industry.”

The Popper proposal also includes setting prescribed burns in

a roadless area between the Three Sisters Wilderness — where wildfires frequently start — and the developed area to the east, where fires can spread toward Sisters, Tandy said.

No roads would be built, he said, but crews would try to use topographical features like rock outcroppings to provide fuel breaks and wait for the perfect weather conditions to contain the fire.

“It’s sort of a tricky business because there are no good, solid places to start the fire and burn it off,” he said. “You almost have to have ideal conditions to pull it off.”

The Forest Service is also proposing to set aside 1,400 acres along Forest Road 16 for firewood cutting, and cut the white fir out of some areas to replant with ponderosa pine.

Amy Waltz, a fire ecologist with The Nature Conservancy and on the staff of the collaborative program, said the new Collaborative Forest Landscape Restoration group is also working on finding how it can best provide input to the Forest Service for the project.

But early discussions about the Popper area mean that a lot of the group’s big goals, like restoring a more natural habitat and reducing potential wildfire fuels, are already in place, she said.

“The things that the Forest Service wants to do there, and the collaborative wants to see done, both fit,” she said.

Juniper Continued from C1 “They were really impressed with what we were doing,” Jenkins said.

In the fall, one of those representatives, Steve Nelson, told Jenkins he wanted to nominate her school for the award but first wanted to see classes in action again.

With the designation, Jenkins said she expects her teachers to receive invitations to workshops on using technology in the classroom, and also thinks her school will be a site for teachers and administrators from around the state to visit for inspiration.

Juniper has 556 students. The school has about 200 laptops and 30 other Macintosh computers it uses in a lab, as well as about 30 iPods that individual teachers have written grants to buy. In addition, the school has 12 interactive white boards

1970s tax cuts a grim legacy for California

By Adam Nagourney

New York Times News Service

LOS ANGELES — The last time Jerry Brown was governor of California, voters passed Proposition 13, drastically slashing local property taxes and constraining lawmakers from raising any other taxes. Brown first fought the proposition but then executed it with gusto and sent billions of dollars from the state to school districts and counties to help offset the lost revenues.

That may be a decision that Brown has come to regret, as his career has come full circle and taken him back to Sacramento 33 years later to confront yet another budget crisis.

As much as Proposition 13 signaled a national revolt against taxes that reverberates to this day, its actual legacy in California — not just the proposition itself, but the way Brown and the Legislature responded to it — has emerged as a major obstacle to the new governor as he confronts what is probably the worst fiscal crisis in this state’s history.

The measure cut off a major source of revenue by capping property taxes at 1 percent of valuation and required a two-thirds vote by the Legislature to raise taxes. And because it cut property tax collections by local government by nearly two-thirds, the state, initially at Brown’s behest, took on more and more costly responsibilities for financing schools, welfare and other services that were once the responsibilities of local governments. An estimated 70 percent of the taxes collected by the state now goes to local governments.

On Monday, Brown will propose a fiscal rescue plan to deal with the state’s budget crisis that aides said would propose shifting back to local governments many of the programs that the state took over. In effect, it is an about-face from what Brown did the first time he was governor.

And then, to give local governments the ability to pay for the programs in the short term, Brown will also propose that vot-

Aides say Gov. Jerry Brown will put forth a fiscal rescue plan that will propose shifting back to local governments many of the programs that the state took over as a result of Proposition 13 in the 1970s. ers approve an initiative to temporarily extend $10 billion worth of taxes, due to expire later this year.

More fundamental, Brown is also likely to call for local governments to be given greater authority to raise taxes on their own to pay for those programs in the future; right now, they are limited

by Proposition 13 and other state initiatives.

Brown is not the only governor struggling to find new approaches to budgeting in the hope of addressing the shattering effects the recession has had on state governments. But the crisis in California stands out because of its severity, complexity and size.

Brown is facing a budget shortfall of $28.5 billion.

Local officials across the state have been bracing for the impact of shifting the programs back to them, which some said could force tough decisions about whether to cut programs, like schools and public safety, or raise taxes.

Others said that Brown was not going far enough and that the time had come to confront Proposition 13 head-on by, for example, lifting the property tax cap on commercial properties.

“The Proposition 13 debate needs to happen; we’ve just got to be honest,” Los Angeles Mayor Antonio Villaraigosa said. “At a time of a financial crisis as great as any the state has faced in modern times, the time is now to address the inequity of Prop 13 that allows large corporate interests to get a windfall meant for homeowners. We are not funding government. We are just decimating government and the services it provides.”

But Jon Coupal, president of the Howard Jarvis Taxpayers Association, which was founded by one of the authors of Proposition 13, said Brown would be making a huge mistake if he followed Villaraigosa’s advice.

“Since this organization exists to defend Prop 13, we do the gut check every couple of years, and every year it’s the same thing,” he said. “If it were on the ballot today, it would pass by the same 66 percent margin that it did in 1978.

Jerry knows that. Jerry’s not stupid. He’s a very bright guy. If he is going to go for tax increases, it’s not going to be by messing with Proposition 13. He knows as well as everyone else knows that it’s the third rail of California politics.”

Rustic retreats

Professors to discuss ‘American character’ Free public event will explore individualism vs. volunteerism

A single rustic cabin, shrouded in snow at La Pine State Park, continues to welcome winter visitors. Log lodges such as this one, 13 feet square, have two full-size beds, a table with chairs, electric heat and lights, but no indoor plumbing or kitchen facilities.

State park cabins give visitors year-round options for camping in comfort

PRINEVILLE RESERVOIR — From the front porch of my log cabin at Prineville Reservoir State Park, I could see filtered sunlight reflecting off the frozen fringes of the meandering lake.

I could see a red-tailed hawk soaring low over the snow-speckled foothills of the Maury Mountains. I could see more than a dozen mule deer huddled together in a juniper grove above the lakeshore.

But I could not see another human NORTHWEST being. And that was just fine with me.

TR AVE L During the summer season, the 75 deluxe and rustic cabins in 13 OrNext week: egon state parks are booked weeks Mexico’s Yucatan — and sometimes months — in advance. They provide a modest level of Peninsula comfort to park visitors who may not mind sharing bathhouse facilities, but who would skip tent camping for a padded mattress and a solid roof over their heads.

In winter, these cabins see relatively few visitors. Although vacation periods, including the recently concluded Christmas-New Year holidays, may be heavily booked, the times between are quiet. As most parks have fewer than a half-dozen cabins — some of them with private baths and partial kitchens, others with no more than two beds and a table — it isn’t hard to find isolation if you look for it.

In Central Oregon, three parks have cabins. La Pine State Park has the greatest number, with 10 cabins — five of them rustic, five of the deluxe variety — rising above the January snow overlooking the Deschutes River.

See Cabins / D4

A pair of deluxe cabins nestle amid juniper trees and sagebrush in The Cove Palisades State Park, on Lake Billy Chinook near Culver.

Each cabin has a covered deck and a picnic table beside an outdoor grill, where many patrons cook meals.

On Tuesday, two Southern Oregon University professors will visit the Bend Public Library for a discussion about two concepts they say hold special significance in the lives of Americans: individualism and volunteerism.

Professors Prakash Chenjeri and Daniel Morris are calling their talk “The American Character: The Power of Individualism and Volunteerism” (see “If you go”).

The program is part of Oregon Humanities’ (formerly the Oregon Council for the Humanities) “ConPrakash versation Project: A new ChautauChenjeri qua.” In it, Morris and Chenjeri ask whether individualism — that idea of the importance of self-reliance — is perhaps at odds with the spirit of volunteerism.

It’s a free, public conversation, one they’ve conducted previously in Southern Oregon. The two say they highlight the writings of Daniel Morris Alexis de Tocqueville, the 19thcentury French thinker and author of “Democracy in America,” and issues that concern folks today.

Another author that the two will reference is Robert Putnam, whose 1995 book “Bowling Alone” derives its title from the fact that fewer Americans are participating in bowling leagues.

“He goes on to show research that fewer numbers of Americans are participating in a number of ... service organizations,” Morris says.

Adds Chenjeri, “There could be a number of reasons. One is population explosion, perhaps the economic stresses and strains.”

Built in 1870 on Oregon’s westernmost point, the Cape Blanco lighthouse is a focus of Cape Blanco State Park north of Port Orford.

The park has four rustic cabins and eight miles of trails that wind along the tops of bluffs overlooking the Pacific Ocean.

Governor-elect John Kitzhaber, impressed by the singing of 12-year-old Katie Bullock on a YouTube video, chose the Redmond girl to perform the national anthem for his inauguration in Salem on Monday.

Katie is a student at Elton Gregory Middle School.

The Youth Choir of Central Oregon also will perform. The choir, a nonprofit choral group of more than 125 kindergarten through 12th-grade students, will sing eight songs during and after the ceremony. Choir members come from Deschutes, Jefferson and Crook counties.

A lonely holiday for divorced man Dear Abby: I divorced two years ago, after 40 years of marriage.

The divorce papers read “irreconcilable differences.” I made up my mind that I wouldn’t bad-mouth my ex-wife, would use her name when speaking of her, and would rebuild my personal and social life as quickly as possible.

Last year, I dated half a dozen widows. Without fail, during the course of the date, these lovely ladies would raise the subject of the death of their husbands. These women were beyond tears, but the pain in their eyes was evident.

I heard stories about how they took care of a beloved husband while he was dying of cancer, or an unexplained sudden death and the anguish of trying to wake him from his eternal sleep.

Christmas has just passed, and it has been a long time since I have felt so alone. I went to the clubhouse in our community for dinner, but all my friends were either away for the holidays or entertaining friends and family and I couldn’t intrude.

While I listened to these widows, I have seen steely eyes soften and even heard them laugh. What an ego booster it has been for me.

What I need now is some of my own medicine. I hope one day I’ll find someone who doesn’t need a handsome Jack, a good golfer or a sugar daddy. Until then, I’ll just have to be a ...

Lonesome George Dear Lonesome George: Because you’re a good listener, please listen to me. It’s time to become more involved in life. Enroll in adult education classes, learn to paint, take a writing class or an acting class or get some computer training.

DEAR ABBY

make new friends — and one of them may have a friend who’s perfect for you.

Dear Abby: My lifelong friend from childhood wonders why I am avoiding her. Now that I am in my 80s, the unfairness of a lie from our past is still plaguing me.

Seventy-five years ago, at a Sunday school picnic, I saw “Mary Ann’s” mother take something from another woman’s purse. As she looked around, she caught my eye and an ugly expression came over her face. Days later, Mary Ann told me people in our church were being told that I was a thief.

Not having the maturity to handle the enormous falsehood, and knowing it wasn’t true, I chose to ignore it. But it didn’t go away. It followed me all my life.

I learned later that Mary Ann’s mother had a habit of stealing from homes where she worked as a practical nurse. Losing my reputation because of this woman’s weakness made the lie all the more painful, and I so want to be cleared at least in my friend’s eyes.

But do I want to hurt my friend in revealing her mother’s responsibility in switching the blame for HER theft? Please help.

— In Lingering Pain, Graham, Wash.

Dear In Pain: Write Mary Ann a letter and tell her exactly what you have told me. I’m sure she knows her mother’s character very well, and it will come as no shock to her.

Then the two of you should decide together how her mother’s slander of you should be handled. If she’s your friend, she’ll help you.

‘Game’ on: more real than reality TV

By Jon Caramanica

New York Times News Service

During its first three seasons “The Game,” the dramedy about professional football players and the women who barely tolerate them, overflowed with cameos by black celebrities. There were singers like Musiq, rappers like Soulja Boy, athletes like Chad Ochocinco and more. Robin Givens and Rick Fox played themselves in recurring roles. These appearances added verisimilitude to a series already steeped in it. Few shows on television were as specific to their moment as “The Game.”

In the Season 4 premiere, Tuesday on BET, the surrounding culture has changed a bit. Near the end of the episode, Tasha Mack (Wendy Raquel Robinson) gets a shock when meeting one of her boyfriend’s exes: Sheree Whitfield of “The Real Housewives of Atlanta,” playing herself.

It’s timely casting, and also a bit of a wink. “The Game,” which had its premiere in 2006 — before the “Housewives” explosion, before every other football player and 1990s R&B star had dating shows — was, until its cancellation by the CW network in 2009, an inadvertent precursor to the boom in reality television about the semi-famous. Its demi-monde was the behindthe-scenes universe of modern celebrities, and its best material about the embarrassments that lay therein, giving the show a ripped-from-the-headlines quality. Now, 20 months after its Season 3 finale on CW, “The Game” is returning to a world that, in a sense, it set the stage for.

“One of our bigger competitors is reality TV,” said Mara Brock Akil, the show’s creator and an

Sewing & Vacuum Center

“I’ve never been in an experience where everybody wanted so bad for it to work. We were more than colleagues, we were literally a family trying to imprint its fingerprint in society and show the world that we’re here.”

— Hosea Chanchez, quarterback Malik Wright on “The Game” executive producer along with her husband, Salim, who added that the show was mindful of the changing times: “The digital age, YouTube, reality TV — everything is now, in the moment, in the second.”

But no matter how au courant the show was, it was never a ratings success on CW, with an audience hovering in the range of 2 million. Rumors of cancellation plagued its third season, leading to a viral campaign to save it, featuring all of the show’s main actors, and to Mara Akil’s attempt to reconceive it from a half-hour to an hourlong drama more in keeping with the direction the network was moving in.

“I’ve never been in an experience where everybody wanted so bad for it to work,” said Hosea Chanchez, who plays the manchild lothario quarterback Malik Wright. “We were more than colleagues, we were literally a family trying to imprint its fingerprint in society and show the world that we’re here.”

None of it worked, though, and “The Game” was left in limbo.

Though Chanchez filmed roles in three movies, he said: “I felt like I had a death in the family, to be honest with you. For me, it was more of a deep depression I sunk into.”

A few weeks after the can-

cellation was official, the Akils were approached by BET, looking to expand its original programming.

“I thought, ‘Duh, we can do something about this,’” said Loretha Jones, BET’s president for original programming. BET was already showing reruns of “The Game,” with great success. “We had bigger numbers for our runs of the shows than the CW ever got,” Jones said.

A deal was not quick in the making though. BET had no significant track record in original programming, and the show’s owner, CBS Paramount Network Television, was skeptical. “They did not know us to be a producer of original series at the level they produced the show,” Jones said.

Nevertheless BET was able to secure the license, giving “The Game” a second chance.

The cast was reunited, but some sacrifices had to be made.

“We are doing scripted at a price point that is better than other networks do reality,” Jones said. For the Akils that meant changes.

They now shoot out of sequence, for efficiency; have a slimmer writing staff, drawn from the original team; and have moved production to Atlanta from Los Angeles, for tax breaks. (Atlanta is also a hub for black celebrity life. Being there, Salim Akil said,

B e st Brands, Selectio n & Servi ce

allowed the cast “to experience their celebrity in full bloom.”)

But these adjustments were small compared to the ones the Akils had envisioned when trying to reimagine the show as an hourlong drama. No amount of tweaking could have turned the show’s cast members into moody, misbehaving teenagers or moody, misbehaving vampires.

Or make them white. Scripted shows with predominantly black casts are virtually nonexistent on contemporary network TV. Apart from the slate of TBS comedies under Tyler Perry’s umbrella, they’re hard to find on cable too.

“Are we that insignificant and don’t matter, and it’s OK that we’re disappearing from the screens?”

Robinson asked.

Chanchez, who recalled watching diverse black characters on network shows while growing up, said: “I’m saddened for the generation of young black men that come behind me. TV exposes you to a world outside your own. I knew about complex relationships because of ‘Martin.’ I learned there were black doctors because of ‘The Cosby Show.’”

For now, then, there’s “The Game,” a happily heretical and saucy show that has always joyfully poked at racial orthodoxies.

Kennedy portraits offer study in control

By Stephanie Merry The Washington Post

WASHINGTON — Fifty years later, the Kennedy family mystique persists. That much is clear when paying a visit to a new exhibition of family portraits by famed fashion photographer Richard Avedon.

Museumgoers gush over Jackie’s timeless glamour in satin Givenchy, coo at images of little Caroline’s sweet smile and still marvel at the 35th president’s rugged, stately demeanor. Baby boomer discussions of where people were when they heard the news no doubt ensue shortly after.

But the tiny show of nine photographs at the National Museum of American History, “The Kennedys 50 Years Ago,” does more than reminisce about the seemingly irresistible spell of Camelot, which was an illusion, after all. The images on display offer a study of power and control, a look at whether the man behind the camera or the one posing in front is running the show.

Between John F. Kennedy’s 1960 election and his inauguration the following January, Avedon visited what would become the first family in Florida to capture photos for Harper’s Bazaar and Look Magazine. Avedon, who died in 2004, was no stranger to powerful subjects in various realms. His prolific career included portraits of the Chicago Seven, Ronald Reagan, Audrey Hepburn, Salvador Dali and the Beatles.

Most revealing is the one Avedon contact sheet that’s on display — a chance to see what the photographer saw, and where there’s a wider range of emotions on display. Another shot captures Kennedy reaching carefully down to John-John, whom Jackie holds in her arms, while a different frame finds the president caught off-guard, smiling

It may be Caroline Kennedy who steals the show in the Washington exhibit. with eyes scrunched shut.

But for all of Kennedy’s effort, it may be Caroline who steals the show. One iconic shot, brilliantly framed by Avedon, stands out among the rest. The 3-year-old occupies the middle of the photo in a frilly white dress. She stands beside her father, who is all but out of frame with the exception of a glimpse of his suit and his right hand, which reaches down, resting gently on her shoulder.

C OV ER S T ORY

Cabins Continued from D1 Prineville Reservoir has a trio of deluxe cabins high on a bluff above its main campground, with three more under construction and projected to be open by Memorial Day. Another three deluxe cabins are at The Cove Palisades, nestled above the picturesque shore of canyon-enclosed Lake Billy Chinook near Culver.

Of the baker’s-dozen Oregon state parks with cabins, four are off U.S. Highway 101 on the Pacific coast. Three more sets of park cabins are in the Portland-Salem area, with another three in the northeastern part of the state.

Just the basics If you’re considering a stay, here’s what you might want to know: Rustic cabins have minimal furnishings — two double beds (or a double and a single), a table and chairs, electric heat and lighting. Most of them are 13 feet square. Deluxe cabins are a little bit deeper and have five- or sixfoot porches, some of them covered. You’ll need to bring your own bedding or sleeping bag, as the cabins have futon-style mattresses only.

Deluxe cabins are better suited for longer stays, as they have rudimentary kitchen facilities — a refrigerator, sometimes full-size, and a microwave oven — plus full bathrooms and more bed space.

Including bunks and a futon sofa, they can sleep five or six.

Some also have TVs, although you can’t expect reception; the camp host may have VCRs and movies for rent.

You’ll need to bring your own groceries, utensils and cookware.

Outdoor barbecue grills, fire pits and picnic tables may be seasonally practical. Only at La Pine and Stub Stewart parks are a couple of cabins set aside as pet-friendly ($10 extra by reservation).

Cabins may be rented as many as 11 months ahead, but no fewer than two days in advance. Rates vary ever-so-slightly between parks, with deluxe cabins priced between $56 and $82 and rustic cabins $36 to $43. Lower prices are in effect between October and April.

The first Oregon State Park cabins were built by the Civilian Conservation Corps in 1930 at Silver Falls State Park, Oregon’s largest and oldest state park.

These four rustic one-room cabins are within the main 100-site campground. Ten newer, tworoom rustic cabins — half of them handicapped-accessible — were built in the late 1990s on a loop beside the South Fork of Silver Creek. All share bathhouse and shower facilities.

State park cabin construction has accelerated in recent years.

In addition to the three now under construction at Prineville Reservoir, 10 are being built at Fort Stevens State Park near Astoria, while cabins at Cape

Even though it’s on the side of a hill, this deluxe cabin at Prineville Reservoir State Park has a long paved ramp that makes it accessible to handicapped visitors. Prineville has three of these cabins, with three more under construction and due for May completion.

A herd of mule deer huddles in a juniper grove above the lakeshore at Prineville Reservoir State Park. Deer, raptors and other wildlife proliferates in the park during the winter months, when the number of visitors is significantly reduced.

Lookout State Park near Tillamook are being increased from three to six. All are scheduled for completion in May. “That’s what the public wants,” said Sheri Miller, call-center manager for the parks’ Reservations Northwest division. “The way people are camping has changed dramatically. We are looking at what their needs are now.”

Complementing the cabins are a popular system of yurts — heated, domed tents with plywood floors and lockable wooden doors. These may be found at 18 parks, 14 of them on the coast, for rates between $35 and $41.

(Umpqua Lighthouse State Park also has a half-dozen deluxe yurts for $56 to $76.)

Willamette Valley region Silver Falls, a 40-minute drive east from Salem, is a great place to experience the cabin system at any time of year.

The biggest attraction at Silver Falls is the park’s system of trails. More than 24 miles of hiking trails and a four-mile bike path weave through the reserve’s 9,000-plus acres of fir-and-cedar forests, meadows and canyons.

The 8.7-mile Canyon Trail winds along Silver Creek and its 10 waterfalls, including impressive South Falls (177 feet high) and remote Double Falls (178 feet).

The trail actually passes behind four of the falls, where ferns and mosses grow prolifically in the misty spray.

The only Oregon state park with more cabins than Silver Falls is the state’s newest. When it opened in 2007, L.L. “Stub” Stewart State Park was the first new full-service park to open in Oregon in three decades. Located 31 miles west of Portland between Banks and Vernonia, it features miles of hiking and biking trails through rolling former timberland.

Stewart Park has 12 one-room

Deluxe cabins also have full bathrooms; rustic cabins must share a campground’s bathhouse.

cabins and three two-room cabins, all of them rustic despite their new construction. But they are more spacious than rustic cabins at other parks — 16 feet square rather than 13, plus a sixfoot porch. The two-room cabins are 16 feet by 24 feet.

Midway between Portland and Salem is the Champoeg State Heritage Area. The site of Oregon’s first territorial capital has six rustic cabins on the south bank of the Willamette River, sharing bathhouse facilities with a good-size campground.

In summer, interpretive tours of the original 1850s town site operate from a visitor center and museum; numerous trails beckon hikers and bicyclists.

A colorful wall of rocks rises above Prineville Reservoir, 16 miles southeast of Prineville on the Crooked River. Jasper, agate and other rocks are plentiful in this high-desert landscape, which sees throngs of water-sports lovers in summer but is a quiet oasis in winter.

Oregon coast On the Pacific coast, four state parks have cabins, and a fifth will join the list by Memorial Day. Beginning in the south, Alfred A. Loeb State Park, 10 miles northeast of Brookings on the Chetco River Road, has three rustic cabins in a 200-year-old laurel (myrtlewood) grove.

Oregon Trail wagon ruts are still visible at Farewell Bend State Recreation Area, on a Snake River reservoir directly opposite Idaho. Those who stay at two rustic cabins can learn about the region’s history by hiking trails and reading interpretive signage.

The Pioneer Mother Cabin is a landmark building at the Champoeg State Heritage Area, commemorating Oregon’s first territorial capital east of Newberg. Nearby, six rustic cabins stand on the south bank of the Willamette River. through old-growth forest to the end of Cape Lookout, offering great views of Cape Kiwanda to the south and Cape Meares to the north.

At Fort Stevens State Park, west of Astoria and just south of the mouth of the Columbia River, 10 deluxe cabins are under construction in the south campground. Nearby, the 1906 wreck of the Peter Iredale, buried in the beach sands, is a main attraction in what was a prime military installation from the Civil War through World War II. The 3,700-acre park encloses three freshwater lakes, 15 miles of trails and several wartime gunnery displays.

Northeastern Oregon In the northeast region of Oregon, there are rustic park cabins at Emigrant Springs State Heritage Site, 26 miles southeast of Pendleton off Interstate 84; Farewell Bend State Recreation Area, four miles from Huntington, also off I-84; and Unity Lake State Recreation Area, near Unity on state Highway 245 between Baker City and John Day. Nestled in old-growth pine forest, Emigrant Springs was once a popular stop for Oregon Trail travelers at the summit of the Blue Mountains. Visitors can explore Oregon Trail interpretive sites by foot in summer, by ski or snowmobile in winter. The park has six rustic one-room cabins, each sleeping five, and a “totem cabin” duplex with bunk beds on both sides.

Farewell Bend spreads along the upper reaches of Brownlee Reservoir, directly across the Snake River from Idaho. It was here that Oregon Trail emigrants left the river for their final push to Oregon City. Trail ruts may still be seen nearby, and numerous plaques describe the site’s historic significance. Those who stay at the park’s pair of rustic cabins also enjoy water sports on

the adjacent reservoir.

Unity Lake has two rustic cabins on a quiet reservoir surrounded by juniper and sagebrush. A High Desert oasis on the Burnt River, the park is a good place to enjoy water sports or to stay a couple of nights during a visit to the pioneer community of Union.

Central Oregon Last week, I paid visits to all three sets of state-park cabins within an easy hour’s drive of Bend.

At The Cove Palisades, I found the trio of deluxe cabins to be occupied by families enjoying a holiday-weekend respite. Although the paved road into the adjacent marina and campground was gated and locked for the season — only reserved guests may pass through — I parked outside, next to the serpentine reservoir, and walked a few hundred yards for a glimpse of the site.

The cabins sat just above the lakeshore, looking upon both sides of a submerged canyon famous for its bald-eagle population. Two children played outside, enjoying the last days of their school vacation under the watchful eyes of their parents.

Although there was no snow at The Cove, at least two feet covered the ground at La Pine State Park, east of U.S. Highway 97 between Sunriver and La Pine.

The 5½-mile road to the cabins was well-plowed, but side roads — including the track to the “Big Tree” (Oregon’s largest ponderosa pine, 29 feet around) — were closed for the season.

Nonetheless, I was impressed by the wintry scene. Five rustic cabins and five deluxe ones stood on opposite sides of the park hosts’ trailers — two couples live here all winter — and a big log meeting hall. In front of one of the larger cabins stood a sturdy snow cave, the handiwork of Christmas visitors, I was told.

Still, my favorite was my over-

night oasis at Prineville Reservoir. To get there, I had traveled 16 miles southeast, through ranch country, from downtown Prineville, turning off state Highway 380 on Juniper Canyon Road. The road rose steadily before dropping to Antelope Creek and the reservoir, which extends for 18 southwest-flowing miles behind Prineville Dam on the Crooked River.

During the prime May-toOctober, occupancy is high at 67 sites in the primary campground and 30 more at Juniper Point, 2½ miles by car (or 1¾ by foot). There is moorage for 32 boats, a fishing pier and fishcleaning station, swimming and volleyball facilities, and much more.

But I still think I prefer the winter. When I tire of gazing upon the wonderful scenery and local wildlife, I can hike and rockhound for jasper and agates in nearby outcroppings. If I prefer — and, in evening, I do — I can settle back on the cozy sofa in my heated cabin and read or write, without the disturbance of television or noisy neighbors.

It’s a little touch of paradise … for a mere $60 a night.

THE BULLETIN • Sunday, January 9, 2011 D5

During the summer season, the 75 deluxe and rustic cabins in 13 Oregon state parks are booked weeks — and sometimes months — in advance. … In winter, these cabins see relatively few visitors. … As most parks have fewer than a half-dozen cabins — some of them with private baths and partial kitchens, others with no more than two beds and a table — it isn’t hard to find isolation if you look for it.

Apparently big boys do cry, but is it a normal behavior?

By John Schwartz

New York Times News Service

Rep. John Boehner officially became the new speaker of the House of Representatives last week. While the Ohio Republican is not a universally recognized figure, people tend to know two things about him. The first is that his skin has an oddly orangeish tinge, which some have attributed to quality time with tanning products. Boehner denies artificially enhancing his hue, and on “60 Minutes” recently, responding to the orangeness issue even brought him to tears.

That is the other thing people know about Boehner. He cries, and with a frequency some find unsettling. Much has been made of this. Fun has been had at his expense.

But there are those who suggest that this great nation and its pundits should give the guy a break.

“I think it is ridiculous and insensitive,” said Dan Rather, the former anchor of CBS News and a man who has been known to shed a public tear. “And I certainly don’t agree with him about lots of things.”

In the interests of full disclosure, your correspondent has, in recent years, become something of a weeper himself. Things that have made me cry in the last year or so, in no particular order, include: • The ending of “The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-Time.”

• “Desperadoes Waiting for a Train,” especially the Jerry Jeff Walker version.

• Eighth-grade graduation for my youngest child.

• “King Lear.” When I saw it a few decades ago, it was grand and very sad. Now that I have aging parents and children whose own mortality is all too real, a 2008 performance on a New Jersey stage felt like a different play entirely. I lost it.

• The “It gets better” videos intended to reassure gay teens, except for the one by President Barack Obama, which is inspiring, but, you know, a little lame.

With Boehner’s tears in the news, and my own very much on my mind, I sought out psychologists who study emotions to find out if the waterworks of middle age should be thought of as weird.

While medical crises like a stroke can tear down the retaining walls that keep our emotions from spilling out, they said, many men find that by their 40s they are simply more likely to be moved to tears than at any time since childhood’s skinned knees.

“Crying is a normal response to many different kinds of emotional situations,” said Randolph Cornelius, the chair of the psychology department at Vassar College.

“There is no need to seek therapy for the sake of a few tears.”

Cornelius has studied the sub-

Character Continued from D1 Even the time it takes for people to assemble could play a role, which leads to the flip side of the discussion, American individualism, says Morris. “If it goes overboard, it can detract from that volunteer side of our social engagement ... being somewhat a loner and not participating

New York Times News Service

Speaker of the House John Boehner, R-Ohio, sheds some tears on “60 Minutes.” Boehner cries with a frequency some find unsettling. ject for 30 years and said each of us has a different propensity to cry. “As some men get older, they find it easier to let their guard down and cry in the presence of others.” This, he said, includes himself, “a relatively high-frequency-crying kind of guy.”

“I can’t tell whether my lower threshold is due to getting older or simply feeling it’s OK to cry because I consider it a very healthy reaction to both the horrors and joys of the world,” he said.

Another expert, Jonathan Rottenberg at the University of South Florida, cited research in an e-mail interview that suggests “people generally have a greater capability for complex, mixed emotional states in adulthood.” Babies, he said, “cry out of simple motives to attract a caregiver when they are alone, hungry or in pain.” But adults cloud up while happy or angry, or when overcome by bittersweet blends like nostalgia.

Tears of authenticity Which brings us back to Rather, who said it was time to let men have a good cry, and without regret. “Like many American boys and men, I was taught big boys don’t cry,” he said, but our ancestors knew better. “In ancient Greek culture, men were allowed their emotions,” he said. In works like “The Odyssey,” “it was very common for men to show their emotions — it was considered even part of the heroic character and personality.”

Crying, he said, is “genuine.

It’s authentic.” And, Rather said gravely, “We live in a society where authenticity is very hard to come by.”

He said that until he was “well past my 40s,” he could not remember crying in public aside from his parent’s funerals. Since then the tears have come with greater frequency — whether on national television, as when he broke down on David Letterman’s show soon after the 9/11 attacks or during speeches, when he often asks for a moment of silence to remember

in democracy, really, or civic organizations.”

However, there are still volunteer-minded Americans, Chenjeri notes, suggesting the cause plays a role.

“People still seem very involved, doing things and volunteering for all kinds of activities, whether it is participating during a national disaster or coming together to help out a community member. But, on the other hand,

U.S. troops around the world and at risk.

At the time of the Letterman appearance, Rather recalled, he had been reporting the tragic story nonstop, “laser-beam focused on the work at hand,” with little sleep and no chance to decompress. Sitting as a guest on the program, he said, “I stepped out of my role as anchor and journalist” and the emotions “slipped up on me.”

And, he asks today, so what?

“That was pure, unadulterated grief,” Rather recalled. “There’s no apologizing for grief.”

Blubbering, then, is nothing to be ashamed of — even though we may still feel a little shamefaced about it. Robert Krulwich, the journalist and co-host of “Radiolab” on NPR, said that he was recently moved to tears in the office, while watching a video of college performers doing a work of interpretive dance based on a beloved segment from his program, “Goat on a Cow.” Seeing someone else transpose the piece so successfully into a different medium caught him utterly by surprise. “Something broke inside me,” he said. “I don’t understand it. It was beautiful, really beautiful, in a completely new way. And it was so wonderful I started to cry.”

It was at that moment, in midcascade, that a delegation of NPR brass stopped by Krulwich’s desk to say hello.

“As they approached my cubicle, I rotated so they couldn’t see me,” he said, and pressed the phone to his ear. “I pretended to be writing,” and waved them off so that they would not see his tear-streaked face.

“Unfortunately, I did not have a utensil,” he recalled, so “I was taking notes the way Marcel Marceau might have been taking notes,” scribbling nothing with nothing and hoping the visitors would not notice. After an uncomfortable moment, they moved on.

Today, he sounds proud of those tears and any others: “I think it’s part of the emotional vocabulary of being alive.”

BY JACQUELINE BIGAR

HAPPY BIRTHDAY for Sunday, Jan. 9, 2011: This year, focus on your day-to-day life. You often find yourself involved with neighbors and siblings. Let your emotional centering emerge with interpersonal communication.

Work could be demanding, leaving you to wonder why you work so hard. You have little choice.

If you are single, someone you meet through work will be stern.

Avoid that person. Summer heats up your prospects. If you are attached, communicate rather than hold back. Break patterns.

PISCES likes to gab with you.

The Stars Show the Kind of Day You’ll Have: 5-Dynamic; 4-Positive; 3-Average; 2-So-so; 1-Difficult ARIES (March 21-April 19) HHH You could walk into the day full of ideas, but you won’t find others willing to run with them. As a result, you might not have a choice. You will have to organize and carry out any plan that is near and dear to your heart.

Tonight: To the wee hours.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) HHHHH No one has the capability of seeing into the window of possibilities like you do. However, you must drop any rigidity in order to take this walk.

Events unfurl. You might be on the way to hitting a home run.

Tonight: Only where the fun is.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) HHHH A special person in your life sees more than you do. The

reason is simple. This person doesn’t live in your shoes, so he or she can’t see the situation with a broader focus. The time has come to defer a little more. Tonight: How about a romantic dinner?

CANCER (June 21-July 22) HHHHH Others clearly have their own agenda. The only mistake you might make is to try to interfere.

Situations are as they are.

Recognize that you cannot control anyone. Internalize that thought.

Then you will feel free. Tonight: Go along with a pleasing invitation.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) HHHHH Your efforts do make a difference. Your ability to think through problems and come up with viable answers, especially with a partner, explains why so many people need to speak to you. Tonight: Make special time for that special person in your life.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) HHHHH Defer to others, knowing full well you might have to anyway.

The choice is whether to have a power play or not. An invitation or fun moment involving a child needs to be enjoyed to the max. Tonight: Loving the people in your life.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) HHH Take some time just for you.

Refresh your energy and allow yourself to do what interests you.

Perhaps you will invite a child or loved one to join in, but remember that this day is also for you.

Tonight: Start thinking “Monday.”

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) HHHHH Your words have an almost magical impact on

others. Try it. A child or loved one does whatever is necessary to come in closer and spend quality time with you. Recognize an innate uptightness. Tonight: Naughty and nice work.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) HHH You might be looking at a heavy investment involving property or a family matter. Looking at an investment isn’t the same as acting on one. Be careful — this particular investment might be unusually slow to come to fruition. Tonight: Happy at home.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) HHHHH Make that extra effort.

Realize that although you might speak the same language as another person, your frame of reference is much different. Listen to what is being said by another person, then confirm what you think you heard. Tonight: Hang out.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) HHHH Your instincts remain on target regarding a financial issue.

However convincing another person might be is a totally different issue. Prepare to go your own way, by yourself, if you choose this path. Tonight: A treat doesn’t need to break the bank.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) HHHHH Your ability to change others’ opinions comes out in a discussion with friends. A partner might not be as supportive as you might like.

In eco-jeans, the green becomes harder to spot

By Alexandra Zissu

New York Times News Service

consumption by a third. The resulting product, called Better Cotton, won’t likely show up in Levi’s clothing until spring 2012 and will be blended with conventional cotton at first. But the goal is to use it in everything the company makes.

“We want to shift the way cotton is grown around the world,” Kobori said. “All cotton can be grown this way.”

Two years ago, when going green was red-hot in the fashion industry, there were plenty of organic jeans to choose from.

Brands including Levi’s, Banana Republic, Genetic Denim, 7 For All Mankind, Earnest Sewn, Aristocrat, Loomstate, Del Forte and JBrand offered at least one pair made with some amount of organic cotton, which is grown without environmentally threatening chemicals (according to Drying out the Sustainable Cotton Project, a Shoppers not interested in nonprofit organization, conven- delayed gratification can buy tional cotton consumes 25 per- Levi’s new Water<Less jeans, cent of the world’s chemical pes- which sell at retail for $50 to ticides and fertilizers). $130, starting this month.

and Eileen Fisher’s chic-and-tidy line — boot, skinny, straight or “jeggings” for $158 to $168 — are appropriately versatile.

On New York’s Lower East Side, the eco boutique Kaight sells versions by Linda Loudermilk, Prairie Underground, Good Society and a few discontinued lines, each for less than $200. Organic cotton stretches, said Kaight’s owner, Kate McGregor, so she suggests buying one size smaller than usual.

But the process of greening jeans contains enough shades of gray that many companies think it’s best just to remain quiet on the topic.

“With marketing, especially with fashion, you have to be careful not to push the concept,” Gregory said. “It still has to be about the fashion of the garment.

With food it is different — you’re consuming it, that’s about quality. When it comes to clothing it’s, ‘I know it might be bad for the environment, but it makes my derriere look perfect.’”

Sara Krulwich / New York Times News Service

Several lines of organic jeans are displayed at Kaight in New York. While some smaller lines of organic jeans were crushed by the recession and crowded market, water use, dye impact and fair trade have become issues for companies still producing organic jeans.

T-10952 filed by the Deschutes River Conservancy (700 NW Hill St., Bend, OR 97701) proposes a change in place of use and a change in character of use under Certificates 85384, 85385, and 85390 to instream use. Certificate 85384 allows the use of 0.15 Cubic Foot per Second (CFS) (priority date 1880) from Whychus Creek, tributary to the Deschutes River, in T15S, R10E, Sec 21, W.M., for Irrigation in T15S, R10E, Sec 10, W.M.

JOHN COSTA

What Oregon needs from Kitzhaber T

he future of the state rests on the personality of one man.

Whether the incoming governor is John the Old, the king of vetoes and prince of single-mindedness, or John the New, the man who won election in November singing pragmatic and bipartisan tunes, will likely determine whether the state progresses or sinks deeper into a dysfunctional hole.

Even the atheists among us should get down on a knee and pray that John Kitzhaber, a former two-term governor, meant it when he declared that he will be the latter in this reincarnation as the state’s leader.

This week, the serious business of coping with the crisis we confront begins with the opening of the annual session of the state Legislature.

The word enormous doesn’t do justice to the challenges faced by the Legislature and Governor-elect Kitzhaber, who will be inaugurated Monday.

There are many components, but the simplest way to wrap them up is this: Oregon faces a deficit of $3.5 billion, or more, and is required to balance the budget.

Even that makes the problem seem easy, a simple arithmetic test that requires more subtraction than we are used to, but doesn’t suggest any fundamental change in what the government is comfortable doing.

Oh my, is that ever wrong.

The per capita income of the state was dropping long before the current economic turmoil. It continues to drop.

The numbers of private workers have been decreasing as the numbers of public workers have been increasing.

The structural requirements of the government are outstripping our ability to afford them.

The current and legacy costs of the public workforce are ballooning at the same time that wages and benefits of the private workforce are declining.

Even with a recovery, the projected tax revenue cannot pay for all the state wants now to do.

And Oregon has a reputation as a state not friendly to business.

All this has been known for a long while.

What is new is that Salem has changed.

Republicans are in the resurgence, erasing the super majorities that Democrats held in both Houses and all but dividing the Legislature in half.

That effectively takes new taxes off the table. And with the charge card — state borrowing — full, time-honored budget sleight of hand is off the table.

The state government needs to downsize, and there are going to be losers. The problem is not simply arithmetic. It is setting priorities and triaging state functions. It is asking the citizens to accept fewer services, and public workers to accept less compensation.

And it is asking politicians to resist the lobbyists and established interests of status quo and to accept sacrifice, however painful.

It is government reorganization at the ultimate level.

Kitzhaber couldn’t have predicted the composition of the future Legislature during the fall campaign, but he acknowledged the problems and said he had solutions. Just as importantly, he said he had the experience and personality to straddle divisions and forge solutions.

In interviews with The Bulletin, he said the education system of the state needed reform.

He said a unified K-16 system would be a goal, with objective ways established to measure performance.

He said the capital gains tax of the state could be reduced to assist the state economy.

And he said he was the person who could most effectively take on the public employees’ unions that dominate the Democratic Party and get the pay and benefit concessions without which we won’t recover.

That all sounds good.

But the question remains: Can a very intelligent man with a huge ego and prickly personality pull together a divided Legislature for the greater good of the state?

The evidence is mixed.

His record when he was governor suggests no. But Republicans who have known him for a long while point out that as a legislator, Kitzhaber was approachable and pragmatic.

We endorsed his opponent, Chris Dudley, during the general election, deciding that even the chance of an uncompromising resident of the governor’s mansion was not worth the risk with the clock running out on the state.

I hope we were wrong.

Five myths about bullying

By Susan M. Swearer The Washington Post

From schoolyards to workplaces and now in cyberspace, it seems that bullies are everywhere. New efforts to stop them and to help victims cope — such as the It Gets Better campaign — are gaining attention and popularity, but are they the best ways to protect kids and others from the worst forms of bullying? For them to have a fighting chance, let’s first dispense with a few popular fallacies about getting picked on.

1. Most bullying now happens online Cyber-bullying has received enormous attention since the 2006 suicide of Megan Meier, an eighth-grader who was bullied on MySpace. The suicide of Rutgers freshman Tyler Clementi — who jumped off the George Washington Bridge near Manhattan in September after his roommate streamed video of a sexual encounter between Clementi and another male student online — also grabbed headlines.

As tragic as they are, these high-profile cases should not distract from more traditional — and more prevalent — forms of bullying. Whether battling rumors about their sexual orientation, enduring criticism of their clothes or getting pushed around at recess, kids are bullied offline all the time. While it’s hard to stereotype bullying behavior in every school in every town in America, experts agree that at least 25 percent of students across the nation are bullied in traditional ways: hit, shoved, kicked, gossiped about, intimidated or excluded

from social groups.

In a recent survey of more than 40,000 U.S. high school students conducted by the Josephson Institute, which focuses on ethics, 47 percent said they were bullied in the past year. But, according to the 2007 book “Cyber Bullying,” as few as 10 percent of bullying victims are cyber-bullied. Meanwhile, a study of fifth, eighth and 11th graders in Colorado that same year found that they were more likely to be bullied verbally or physically than online.

Accounting rule bares big money

W

e’re normally reluctant to venture into the world of accountants and actuaries. What they do can be exceptionally complicated, after all. But we’ll make an

exception for GASB 45, which is (besides an awful acronym) an invaluable tool for taxpayers who like to know how governments spend their money.

GASB 45 refers to the Governmental Accounting Standards Board Statement No. 45, which has changed the way government agencies account for and report what are known as post-employment benefits other than pensions (OPEB). That will be the most tedious sentence in this editorial. We promise.

Most Oregonians know by now that PERS, the pension plan enjoyed by public employees, is both expensive and prone to occasional funding crises. What many may not know is that public employees enjoy post-retirement benefits other than PERS, including access to the very same medical and dental plans enjoyed by working public employees. This widespread public ignorance is driven, in part, by the way government agencies have accounted for (or not accounted for) the long-term costs created by such benefits.

Take, for instance, the Bend Park and Recreation District and the city of Bend, which GASB 45 has cast in very different lights.

On Tuesday, district officials presented the park board with an audited financial statement for fiscal year 2009-2010. This financial statement is the first to implement GASB 45, and the results give taxpayers no cause for concern.

Under state law, local governments must give early retirees an opportunity to remain on their health plans until they’re eligible for Medicare at age 65. Governments may require retirees to pay the full premiums of such coverage, however, and that’s what the park district does, according to finance director Lindsey Lombard.

Even when they pay full premiums themselves, though, early retirees receive an “implicit subsidy” from taxpayers. Retirees tend to use medical services more than younger people, after all, so including them in a group plan drives up costs for everybody.

Because retirees don’t cover the cost of this increase even when they pay the full plan premium, their coverage is subsidized. GASB 45 requires employers to calculate and report current and future OPEB costs and — notably — the extent to which future obligations are funded.

The price tag, by the way, is intended to reflect the budget burden of future retirees (today’s employees) as well as current retirees. Today’s employees are earning that retirement benefit now, even though they won’t receive it until their working days are finished. Kind of like a pension. The big difference, though, is that neither the park district nor most governments set money aside for post-retirement health benefits in advance, as

they do for PERS. Instead, they cover the costs on a “pay as you go” basis.

Failing to pay for post-employment benefits in advance creates an unfunded liability, which in the park district’s case was just over $420,000 as of July 1, 2009. This amounts to 8 percent of covered payroll, which is, relatively speaking, very modest. The numbers would look very different if the district handled post-retirement benefits in the way that, say, Bend does.

The city, unlike the park district, pays the premiums of many retirees until they reach 65. To qualify, retirees have to meet a number of criteria, including at least 15 years of continuous employment with Bend.

Those who do will have their premiums paid between the ages 62 and 65, or 60 and 65 for retirees covered by police and fire contracts. The medical insurance for a retiree under the city’s co-pay plan is just over $765, according to Janice Grady, Bend’s human resources manager. Firefighters have moved to a high-deductible plan with a slightly different post-retirement subsidy.

Thus, while park district retirees enjoy only an implicit subsidy, city of Bend employees enjoy both implicit and explicit subsidies. Even so, the city isn’t setting money aside to cover future obligations. As a result, the city’s unfunded actuarial liability for other post-employment benefits was almost $19 million on July 1, 2007, according to the city’s 2009 financial statement. That represents more than 59 percent of covered payroll.

Since then the number has continued to grow. According to recent calculations, the unfunded actuarial liability is $22.8 million, says finance director Sonia Andrews. The city is exploring ways to reduce this liability, and one option is to set up a fund that would help pay future costs with investment income.

But the city has taken at least one cost-containment step already. Beginning this year, according to Grady, new employees won’t be promised a city-paid retiree insurance benefit — except those represented by the city’s unions, that is.

Despite their complexity, rules like GASB 45 aren’t intended to confuse people. Rather, they’re intended to inform taxpayers about the ways governments spend their money. And informed taxpayers are more likely to ask difficult policy questions like the following: Why can’t the city follow the park district’s example when it comes to retiree health benefits; and why would any taxpayer give more money to Bend until it gets its benefits spending under control?

How WikiLeaks supports tyrants WASHINGTON — s the latest diplomatic WikiLeaks trickle down from the headlines to remote parts of the world, we can begin examining their effect.

Take Zimbabwe, whose fragility makes it an instructive test case. This is a nation liberated, looted, and then ground to dust by a single man: Robert Mugabe. Elections in 2008 were stolen by Mugabe’s ruling party, but produced an uneasy coalition government, with opposition leader Morgan Tsvangirai as prime minister. Zimbabwe is now simultaneously attempting to write a new constitution, control periodic outbreaks of Mugabe’s brutality and prepare for new elections that may take place later this year.

Into this volatile situation comes, of all people, Julian Assange — not generally recognized as an expert on the politics of southern Africa. His recent leaks exposed the name of a member of the ruling party who talked about its internal divisions with an American official. In another secret cable, then-U.S. Ambassador Christopher Dell provided a frank assessment of Tsvangirai as a “brave, committed man,” who is also a “flawed figure,” prone to indecision and “questionable judgment in selecting those around him.” Another cable detailed a secret meeting between Western officials and Tsvangirai in which he supported continued economic sanctions to pressure Mugabe, even though Tsvangirai needed to publicly oppose sanctions for political reasons.

A few of the revelations nicked Mugabe and his family, revealing their ties to the blood diamond trade. But most of the disclosures have eased the life of the dictator. The ruling party is now hunting for traitors, based on information from the leaks. Party-controlled media have played up Ameri-

A

MICHAEL GERSON can criticisms of Tsvangirai, even while accusing the opposition of being American puppets. And the Mugabeappointed attorney general has named a commission to consider legal action, perhaps including charges against Tsvangirai. “The WikiLeaks appear to show,” says the attorney general, ominously, “a treasonous collusion between local Zimbabweans and the aggressive international world, particularly the United States.”

Those who enthuse that information should always be free — like oxygen and butterflies — should consider the situation in Harare, where the breaking of confidences has strengthened a despot. Secrecy is often the precondition for political opposition in an oppressive society. And secrecy can also be a necessary protection for honesty. The quality of disclosures in the confessional would be diminished if confessions were posted on YouTube. What ruling-party figure in Zimbabwe will now quietly talk to U.S. officials about the inevitable transition beyond Mugabe?

In this case, hacker anarchism is more of a pose than a principle. Assange’s activism is not directed at revealing the secrets of the United Nations or of journalistic organizations. It is guided by antipathy for America. The United States, in Assange’s view, is an “authoritarian conspiracy” that should be crippled by disrupting its flow of information. It doesn’t matter if American methods are martial or diplomatic,

since its purposes are inherently imperialistic and colonial. In this belief, Assange counts at least one strong supporter. Mugabe not only shares it; it is the main message of his propaganda.

There are many problems with an ideology that turns European antiAmericans and African dictators into co-belligerents. The root of its failure, however, is a limited and simplistic view of colonialism. Mugabe and his cronies constitute a kind of colonial power — what Richard Just of The New Republic calls “internal colonialism.”

They occupy a nation for their own benefit, treating opposition in much the same way that old colonial elites once did. “Is it a consolation,” Just asks, “for the victims that their oppression does not come from the West?”

One unintended consequence of recent diplomatic leaks has been to highlight the role of American diplomats such as Dell. In the cables, he is exposed as an insightful and principled public servant — realistic in assessing both friends and opponents and deeply committed to the freedom of Zimbabweans. Here is no cynic, playing some subtle imperial game. “Mugabe and his henchmen are like bullies everywhere,” Dell writes in one cable, “if they can intimidate you, they will. But they’re not used to someone standing up to them and fighting back.” Mugabe once told Dell to “go to hell” — a serious honor for any free man or woman.

On some occasions, foreign policy involves a binary, moral choice. Assange has chosen the side of Mugabe, apparently without regret. He has provided ammunition to a tyrant as surely as if he were an arms dealer. And he calls America an enemy of democracy.

Congress is back, and so are symbolism and stagnation T GAIL

hey’re back! As has been frequently noted, the first day of a new Congress is very much like the first day of school. Except for the part where it’s on TV and the fate of the largest economy on the planet hangs in the balance.

But when the 112th Congress opened on Wednesday, you definitely had a lot of excited new faces. The House of Representatives is flooded with freshmen, some of whom will embark upon a career of service that will allow them to remain in office for the next 20 years without ever impinging on our consciousness a single time.

Others are pretty clearly gunning to become household names, like Rep. Allen West, a Republican from Florida, who began his Congressional career by picking, for his top aide, a radio talk show host known for her colorful gift of gab. (“If ballots don’t work, bullets will.”)

Her employment was very brief, very stormy, and filled with questions about whether it was really a good idea to suggest that illegal immigrants be hanged and sent home in a box. Looking back

on the episode, West assured a Fox interviewer, “I didn’t learn anything from it.”

The House on Wednesday was all about change, change, change, beginning, of course, with the new speaker. “Be it providence or destiny, a man of uniquely American values has been called,” intoned Rep. Jeb Hensarling of Texas in a nominating speech for John Boehner.

“He has lived the American dream and will protect it for our posterity.”

No no no, Rep. Hensarling! You do not want to talk about John Boehner and the American dream, because he will start to cry and we’ll never get through this.

Sure enough, Boehner pulled out a handkerchief. But decorum was maintained.

Boehner began his tenure by promising more transparency, “a free exchange of ideas,” the chance to offer amendments on the floor and “open debate.” Also, of course, there would be lots of budget-cutting, and sponsors of bills are going to have to show how to pay for them.

His speech was noninflammatory, in keeping with his new role as a guy

COLLINS

who everyone is beginning, in desperation, to tag as a potential bridge-builder.

As Politico recently reported, Boehner hopes to model himself after Nicholas Longworth, a powerful speaker from the 1920s who also came from Ohio.

Longworth is best remembered for having an office building named after him, and definitely not at all remembered for allowing a free exchange of ideas and open debate. But at least Boehner’s not promising to be like Ronald Reagan.

After the reform rules are approved, the House will move on to the Republicans’ first order of business, repeal of the health care reform law. The new rules would, in theory, require that the sponsors explain how to replace the $100 billion that the Congressional Bud-

get Office says the law will save over the next 10 years. But this one does not have to be paid for, because the new majority feels the Congressional Budget Office is wrong. Anyhow, they won the election.

Also, there will be no amendments.

I’m willing to cut the new leadership a little slack. If you’re going to bring up a wildly partisan and totally symbolic bill, there really isn’t any point in fooling around with cost estimates and opposition amendments. It would be like putting up warning signs for the wolves before you shoot them from a small plane.

Let’s wait to see what the new House majority does on its much-vaunted promise to immediately cut $100 billion — or up to 30 percent — of discretionary domestic spending this very year.

Although, House aides told The Times’s Jackie Calmes, maybe you should make that $50 billion. Whatever.

Boehner has definitely gotten the ball rolling by cutting Congress’s own budget by 2.6 percent.

Meanwhile, over in the Senate, the thought of change was also in the air.

“They say you can never step in the same

river twice,” said Majority Leader Harry Reid, who went on to assure his listeners that it was also not possible to step in the same Senate twice.

There was lots of discussion of reform in the Senate, too, and the chamber jumped into a vigorous debate on Democratic proposals to change the rules. The plan would decimate several venerable traditions, like the one that allows one senator to bring all progress on a bill or a nomination to a screeching halt without having to reveal his or her identity.

Everybody is now going home for two weeks to think about it.

This sort of change can only be made on the first day of business, but fortunately, Reid has invoked a special rule that allows him to keep the chamber at opening day until the end of the month.

This is something that happens only in the United States Senate and early episodes of “Star Trek.” We are waiting to see if the senators continue to age while time stands still.

O Capitol sophistry spurs tea party anger I

n classical Athens, public life became dominated by clever and smart-sounding sophists. These mellifluous “really wise guys” made money and gained influence by their rhetorical boasts to “prove” the most amazing “thinkery” that belied common sense.

We are living in a new age of sophism — but without a modern equivalent of Socrates to remind the public just how silly our highly credentialed and privileged new rhetoricians can often sound.

Take California, which is struggling with a near-record wet and snowy winter. Flooding spreads in the lowlands; snow piles up in the Sierras.

In February 2009, Nobel Laureate and Energy Secretary Steven Chu pontificated without evidence that California farms would dry up and blow away, inasmuch as 90 percent of the annual Sierra snowpack would disappear. Yet long-term studies of the central Sierra snowpack show average snow levels unchanged over the last 90 years. Many California farms are drying up — but from government’s, not nature’s, irrigation cutoffs.

England is freezing and snowy. But that’s odd, since global warming experts assured that the end of English snow was on the horizon. Australia is now flooding — despite predictions that its impending new droughts meant it could not sustain its present

VICTOR DAVIS HANSON population. The New York Times just published an op-ed assuring the public that the current record cold and snow are proof of global warming. In theory, they could be, but one wonders: What, then, would record winter heat and drought prove?

In response to these unexpected symptoms of blizzards and deluges, climate physicians offer changing diagnoses. “Global change” has superseded “global warming.” After these radically cold winters, the next replacement appears to be “climate chaos.” Yet if next December is neither too hot nor too cold, expect to hear about the doldrum dangers of “climate calm.”

In 2009, brilliant economists in the Obama administration — Peter Orszag, Larry Summers and Christina Romer — assured us that record trillion-plus budget deficits were critical to prevent stalled growth and 10 percent unemployment. For nearly two years we have experienced both, but now with an addition $3 trillion in national debt.

All three have quietly either returned to academia or Wall Street.

There is also a new generation of young, sophistic bloggers who offer their wisdom from the New YorkWashington corridor. They are usually graduates of America’s elite colleges and navigate in an upscale urban landscape. One, the Washington Post’s 26year-old Ezra Klein, recently scoffed to his readers that a bothersome U.S. Constitution was “100 years old” and had “no binding power on anything.”

One constant here is equating wisdom with a certificate of graduation from a prestigious school. If, in the fashion of the sophist Protagoras, one writes that record cold proves record heat, or that record borrowing and printing money will create jobs and sustained economic growth, or that a 223-year-old Constitution is 100 years old and largely irrelevant, then credibility can be claimed only in the title or the credentials — but not the logic — of the writer.

America is huge and diverse, but the world of our credentialed experts is quite small, warped and monotonous — circumscribed largely by the prestigious university and an office in the incestuous Washington-New York corridor. There are plenty of prizes, honors and degrees among our policy setters and experts, but very little experience in running a business in Oklahoma, raising a large family in Kansas, or working on an assembly line in Michigan, a military base in Texas, a boat in

Alaska or a ranch in Idaho.

In classical sophistic fashion, rhetoric is never far from personal profit. Multimillionaire Al Gore convinced the governments of the Western world that they were facing a global-warming Armageddon, then hired out his services to address the hysteria that he helped create.

How many climate Cassandras have well-funded research positions predicated on grants and subsidies that depend on convincing the pubic and government of impending disasters that they then can be hired to monitor and address? Are there no green antitrust laws? In contrast, how many of our climate theorists run irrigated farms and energy-intensive businesses at the mercy of new regulations that emanate from distant theorizing?

The public might have better believed the deficit nostrums of former budget director Peter Orszag had he not retired after less than two years on the job to position himself for a multimillion-dollar billet at Citigroup — itself a recent recipient of some $25 billion in government bailout funds.

Are we to wonder why an angry, grassroots tea party spread — or why it was instantly derided by our experts and technocrats as ill-informed or worse?

Victor Davis Hanson is a classicist and historian at the Hoover Institution, Stanford University.

Income inequality is making the world sick J NICHOLAS ohn Steinbeck observed that “a sad soul can kill you quicker, far quicker, than a germ.”

That insight, now confirmed by epidemiological studies, is worth bearing in mind at a time of such polarizing inequality that the wealthiest 1 percent of Americans possess a greater collective net worth than the bottom 90 percent.

There’s growing evidence that the toll of our stunning inequality is not just economic but also is a melancholy of the soul. The upshot appears to be high rates of violent crime, high narcotics use, high teenage birthrates and even high rates of heart disease.

That’s the argument of an important book by two distinguished British epidemiologists, Richard Wilkinson and Kate Pickett. They argue that gross inequality tears at the human psyche, creating anxiety, distrust and an array of mental and physical ailments — and they cite mountains of data to support their argument.

“If you fail to avoid high inequality, you will need more prisons and more police,” they assert. “You will have to deal with higher rates of mental illness, drug abuse and every other kind of problem.” They explore these issues in their book, “The Spirit Level: Why Greater Equality Makes Societies Stronger.”

The heart of their argument is that humans are social animals and that in highly unequal societies those at the

KRISTOF

bottom suffer from a range of pathologies. For example, a long-term study of British civil servants found that messengers, doormen and others with low status were much more likely to die of heart disease, suicide and some cancers and had substantially worse overall health.

There’s similar evidence from other primates. For example, macaque monkeys are also highly social animals, and scientists put them in cages and taught them how to push a lever so that they could get cocaine. Those at the bottom of the monkey hierarchy took much more cocaine than high-status monkeys.

Other experiments found that lowstatus monkeys suffered physical problems, including atherosclerosis in their arteries and an increase in abdominal fat. And as with monkeys, so with humans. Researchers have found that when people become unemployed or suffer economic setbacks, they gain weight. One 12-year study of American men found that when their income slipped, they gained an average of 5.5 pounds.

The correlation is strong around the

world between countries with greater inequality and greater drug use. Paradoxically, countries with more relaxed narcotics laws, like the Netherlands, have relatively low domestic drug use — perhaps because they are more egalitarian.

Wilkinson and Pickett crunch the numbers and show that the same relationship holds true for a range of social problems. Among rich countries, those that are more unequal appear to have more mental illness, infant mortality, obesity, high school dropouts, teenage births, homicides, and so on.

They find the same thing is true among the 50 American states. More unequal states, like Mississippi and Louisiana, do poorly by these social measures. More equal states, like New Hampshire and Minnesota, do far better.

So why is inequality so harmful?

“The Spirit Level” suggests that inequality undermines social trust and community life, corroding societies as a whole. It also suggests that humans, as social beings, become stressed when they find themselves at the bottom of a hierarchy.

That stress leads to biological changes, such as the release of the hormone cortisol, and to the accumulation of abdominal fat (perhaps an evolutionary adaptation in preparation for starvation ahead?). The result is physical ailments like heart disease, and social ailments like violent crime, mutual dis-

trust, self-destructive behaviors and persistent poverty. Another result is the establishment of alternative systems in which one can win respect and acquire self-esteem, such as gangs.

Granted, humans are not all equal in ability: There will always be some who are more wealthy — and others who constitute the bottom. But inequality does not have to be as harsh, oppressive and polarized as it is in America today. Germany and Japan have attained modern, efficient economies with far less inequality than we have — and far fewer social problems. Likewise, the gap between rich and poor fell during the Clinton administration, according to data cited in “The Spirit Level,” even though that was a period of economic vigor.

“Inequality is divisive, and even small differences seem to make an important difference,” Wilkinson and Pickett note. They suggest that it is not just the poor who benefit from the social cohesion that comes with equality, but the entire society.

So as we debate national policy in 2011 — from the estate tax to unemployment insurance to early childhood education — let’s push to reduce the stunning levels of inequality in America today. These inequities seem profoundly unhealthy, for us and for our nation’s soul.

U

DAVID BROOKS The best way to measure government is not by volume, but by what you might call the Achievement Test. Does a given policy arouse energy, foster skills, spur social mobility and help people transform their lives? Over the years, America has benefited from policies that passed this test, like the Homestead Act and the GI Bill. Occasionally, the U.S. government has initiated programs that failed it. The welfare policies of the 1960s gave people money without asking for work and personal responsibility in return, and these had to be replaced. The welfare reforms of the 1990s involved big and intrusive government, but they did the job because they were in line with American values, linking effort to reward.

Over the past few decades, Americans have waged political war as if all that matters is the amount of money going into federal coffers. The fights have been about “cutting government” or “raising revenue.” But amid this season of distraction the entire society suffered a loss of values and almost nobody noticed until it was too late.

Both business and government started favoring consumption and short-term

comfort and neglecting investment and long-term growth.

This hasn’t been a case of government corrupting capitalism or vice versa. The two have worked hand-in-hand.

The government has erected a welfare state that, as Matthew Continetti of The Weekly Standard has pointed out, spends vast amounts on consumption (Medicare, Medicaid, Social Security, interest on the debt) and much less on investment (education, research, infrastructure), while pushing the costs on future generations. Meanwhile, the private sector has encouraged a huge increase in personal debt to fuel a consumption bubble. The geniuses flock to finance, not industry.

If we’re going to reverse this tide, it might be useful to put the Achievement Test back at the center of politics. This would help focus the national mind on the fundamental challenge: moving from a consumption-dominated economy oriented around satisfying immediate needs toward a more balanced investment and consumption economy. It might also cut through the gridlocked trench warfare between big-government liberals and small-government conservatives.

Reframing the argument around achievement wouldn’t end partisan division. Democrats and Republicans differ on what makes an economy productive. But it would allow for horse-trading.

As part of the budget process, Republicans could champion the things

Economy, not taxes, made rich disappear

A

daffy Wall Street Journal editorial about the “vanishing millionaires” of Oregon lit a spark in a fairly humorless week. It offers the usual boilerplate about the rich fleeing to tax-friendlier provinces because their state raised taxes, but this time with a great visual: “One-quarter of the rich tax filers seem to have gone missing.”

Where did they go? You picture the millionaires riding the rails to Idaho, their hobo bundles weighted with gold bars. Or a new dust-bowl-type migration of BMWs loaded up with Birkin handbags and granny, all headed to Nevada.

Or Portland liberals erecting a guillotine in Pioneer Courthouse Square and sending the millionaires to the next world.

Now, I appreciate that state tax policy plays a role in attracting businesses and high-income taxpayers. But the Journal presents no evidence of a stampede out of Oregon after the 2009 tax raise.

(Thanks, guys, for all those numbers, but actually they don’t make your case.)

“The state expected 38,000 Oregonians to pay the higher tax,” the Journal states, “but only 28,000 did.” The 10,000

(Oregon’s) 10,000 “missing” taxpayers probably did move — to a lower income level that’s not high enough to activate the new tax.

they believe will enhance productivity and mobility. Many of these will mean making sure people have the incentives to take risks and the freedom to adjust to foreign competition: a flatter, simpler tax code with lower corporate rates, a smaller debt burden, predictable regulations, affordable entitlements.

Democrats could champion the things they believe will enhance productivity and mobility. Many of these will mean making sure everybody has the tools to compete: early childhood education, infrastructure programs to create jobs, immigration policies that recruit talent, incentives for energy innovation.

The two agendas sit in tension, but they are not contradictory. The exciting thing about this moment is that everything is on the table. Thousands of policy proposals are floating around, thanks to the various deficit commissions and policy entrepreneurs. As the parties argue about the debt limit and the rest, it should be possible to take items from both and ram them into a package that cuts consumption spending in order to make investment spending more affordable.

How big will the resulting government be? That is a secondary issue. If a policy enhances achievement, we should be for that thing. If it displaces investment, we should be skeptical of it.

Quality, not quantity, matters most.

“missing” taxpayers probably did move — to a lower income level that’s not high enough to activate the new tax. In case you didn’t notice, there was an economic recession going on.

In a study titled “Dear Wall Street Journal: No Need to File a Missing Persons Report,” the Institute on Taxation and Economic Policy noted the unexpected rise in the number of taxpayers earning under $100,000. It’s possible that lower-earning peasants rushed into Oregon as the earls took flight, but then again, wouldn’t a lousy economy be a better explanation for fewer rich people?

In noting Oregon’s new income tax rates on high earners, the Journal ominously adds, “Only New York City’s rate is higher.” Yeah, and all those empty apartments on Park Avenue are now filled with squatters and their Sterno cans.

The Journal contends that what happened in Oregon is “an instant replay” of what happened in Maryland in 2008, after the legislature passed a millionaire’s tax (which has just expired). “There, roughly one-third of the state’s millionaire households vanished from the tax rolls after rates went up.”

Did they really go poof? Or did the financial collapse of 2008 turn many million-dollar incomes into less-thanmillion-dollar incomes? Stock market crashes tend to do that.

More than one right-leaning think tank has called Rhode Island a “tax hell.” This is something of an exaggeration. (“Tax purgatory” might be more like it.) In any case, critics of Rhode Island tax policies often include the cheesy claim that 8,200 taxpayers fled the Ocean State from 2005 to 2006, before the recession hit.

The less picturesque truth is that the Bush tax cuts and the doubling of the child tax credit had freed many middleclass Americans of any income-tax liability. They didn’t necessarily go anywhere — they just stopped paying what little federal income taxes they were paying before.

From 2005 to 2006, nearly 2 million Americans left the federal income tax rolls. Where did they all flee to, Mars?

A Tax Foundation report notes that 2008 was a record year for nonpayers of the federal income tax — that is, those who got back every dollar withheld from their paychecks. “Nonpaying status used to be a sure sign of poverty or near-poverty,” Scott Hodge writes, “but Congress and the president have changed the tax laws to pull much of the middle class into the growing pool of non-payers.”

Sure, anyone can spin a yarn about millionaire refugees lining up at the state border after a tax was raised. It’s easy. All you have to do is ignore the economy.

New public policies must pass Achievement Test nless something big and unexpected happens, 2011 will be consumed by a debate over the size of government. Republicans will launch a critique of big government as part of their effort to cut spending.

Democrats will surge to the barricades to defend federal programs.

This debate will be contentious, but I hope it’s not rude to mention that it will be largely beside the point. National destinies are not shaped by what percentage of GDP federal spending consumes. They are shaped by the character and behavior of citizens. The crucial issue is not whether the federal government takes up 19 percent or 23 percent of national income. The crucial question is: How does government influence how people live?

There have been cases when big government has encouraged virtuous behavior (in the United States during World War II), and cases when big government has encouraged self-indulgence and irresponsibility (modern Greece). There have been cases when small government was accompanied by enterprise and development, and cases when small government has led to lawlessness, corruption and distrust.

The size of government doesn’t tell you what you need to know; the social and moral content of government action does. The budgeteers and the technicians may not like it, but it’s the values inculcated by policies that matter most.

Sanitized edition of ‘Huck Finn’ does disservice to Twain classic

By Michiko Kakutani

New York Times News Service

“All modern American literature,” Ernest Hemingway wrote, “comes from one book by Mark Twain called ‘Huckleberry Finn.’”

Being an iconic classic, however, hasn’t protected “Adventures of Huckleberry Finn” from being banned, bowdlerized and bleeped. It hasn’t protected the novel from being cleaned up, updated and “improved.”

A new effort to sanitize “Huckleberry Finn” comes from Alan Gribben, a professor of English at Auburn University, at Montgomery, Ala., who has produced a new edition of Twain’s novel that replaces the word “nigger” with “slave.” Nigger, which appears in the book more than 200 times, was a common racial epithet in the antebellum South, used by Twain as part of his characters’ vernacular speech and as a reflection of mid-19thcentury social attitudes along the Mississippi River.

Gribben has said he worried that the N-word had resulted in the novel falling off reading lists, and that he thought his edition would be welcomed by schoolteachers and university instructors who wanted to spare “the reader from a racial slur that never seems to lose its vitriol.”

Never mind that today nigger is used by many rappers, who have reclaimed the word from its ugly past. Never mind that attaching the epithet slave to the character Jim — who has run away in a bid for freedom — effectively labels him as property, as the very thing he is trying to escape.

Controversies over “Huckleberry Finn” occur with predictable regularity. In 2009, just before Barack Obama’s inauguration, a high school teacher named John Foley wrote a guest column in The Seattle Post-Intelligencer in which he asserted that “Huckleberry Finn,” “To Kill a Mockingbird” and “Of Mice and Men,” don’t belong on the curriculum anymore. “The time has arrived

to update the literature we use in high school classrooms,” he wrote. “Barack Obama is president-elect of the United States, and novels that use the ‘N-word’ repeatedly need to go.”

Haven’t we learned by now that removing books from the curriculum just deprives children of exposure to classic works of literature? Worse, it relieves teachers of the fundamental responsibility of putting such books in context — of helping students understand that “Huckleberry Finn” actually stands as a powerful indictment of slavery (with Nigger Jim its most noble character), of using its contested language as an opportunity to explore the painful complexities of race relations in this country. To censor or redact books on school reading lists is a form of denial: shutting the door on harsh historical realities — whitewashing them or pretending they do not exist.

Gribben’s effort to update “Huckleberry Finn” (published in an edition with “The Adventures of Tom Sawyer” by NewSouth Books), like Foley’s assertion that it’s an old book and “we’re ready for new,” ratifies the narcissistic contemporary belief that art should be inoffensive and accessible; that books, plays and poetry from other times and places should somehow be made to conform to today’s democratic ideals. It’s like the politically correct efforts in the ’80s to exile great authors like Conrad and Melville from the canon because their work does not feature enough women or projects colonialist attitudes.

Authors’ original texts should be sacrosanct intellectual property, whether a book is a classic or not. Tampering with a writer’s words underscores both editors’ extraordinary hubris and a cavalier attitude embraced by more and more people in this day of mash-ups, sampling and digital books — the attitude that all texts are fungible, that read-

ers are entitled to alter as they please, that the very idea of authorship is old-fashioned.

Efforts to sanitize classic literature have a long, undistinguished history. Everything from Chaucer’s “Canterbury Tales” to Roald Dahl’s “Charlie and the Chocolate Factory” have been challenged or have suffered at the hands of uptight editors.

There have even been purified versions of the Bible (all that sex and violence!). Sometimes the urge to expurgate (if not outright ban) comes from the right, evangelicals and conservatives, worried about blasphemy, profane language and sexual innuendo. Fundamentalist groups, for instance, have tried to have dictionaries banned because of definitions offered for words like hot, tail, ball and nuts.

In other cases the drive to sanitize comes from the left, eager to impose its own multicultural, feminist world views and worried about offending religious or ethnic groups. Michael Radford’s 2004 film version of “The Merchant of Venice” (starring Al Pacino) revised the play to elide potentially offensive material, serving up a nicer, more sympathetic Shylock and blunting tough questions about

anti-Semitism. More absurdly, a British theater company in 2002 changed the title of its production of “The Hunchback of Notre Dame” to “The Bellringer of Notre Dame.”

Euphemisms are sometimes pushed on writers by their publishers. Rinehart & Company persuaded Norman Mailer to use “fug” in his 1948 novel “The Naked and the Dead” instead of the F-word. Mailer later said the incident caused him “great embarrassment” because Tallulah Bankhead’s press agent supposedly planted a story in the papers that went, “Oh, hello, you’re Norman Mailer. You’re the young man that doesn’t know how to spell.”

Some years later Ballantine Books published an expurgated version of “Fahrenheit 451,” Ray Bradbury’s celebrated sciencefiction classic about book banning, in which words like “hell” and “abortion” were deleted; it was reportedly 13 years before Bradbury became aware of the changes and demanded that the original version be restored.

The language police are staging a comeback. Not just with an expurgated “Huckleberry Finn” but with political efforts to clamp down on objectionable language.

Last year The Boston Globe reported that California lawmakers first voted for, then tabled a resolution declaring a No Cuss Week, that South Carolina had debated a sweeping anti-profanity bill, and that conservative groups like the Parents Television Council have complained about vulgarities creeping into family-hour shows on network television.

But while James O’Connor, author of the book “Cuss Control,” argues that people can and should find word substitutions, even his own website grants Rhett Butler a “poetic license” exemption in “Gone With the Wind.”

“Frankly, my dear, I don’t give a hoot”? Now that’s damnable.

Burlesque queen Gypsy Rose Lee in the raw “American Rose: A Nation Laid Bare: The Life and Times of Gypsy Rose Lee”

by Karen Abbott (Random House, 422 pgs,, $26)

By Melissa Anderson Newsday

Though it calls itself “Burlesque,” the onstage antics in the squeaky-clean Cher-Christina Aguilera diva smackdown would hardly be recognizable to Gypsy Rose Lee, the burlesque queen and striptease artist who had to do some unspeakable things in her climb to the top.

But, as Karen Abbott shows in her enthralling biography, even “Gypsy” — the smash 1959 Broadway musical based on Lee’s 1957 memoirs — presents a fastidiously edited version of the performer’s life, leaving out sordid, seedy details. The show “is not only (Lee’s) monument but her surest chance for monumental revisionism,” she writes.

Abbott, the author of “Sin in the Second City,” about a famed whorehouse in early 20th century Chicago, sets out to fill in the blanks and debunk the self-created myths about the “most private public figure of her time,” though she admits that “trying to discov-

er Gypsy the person, as opposed to Gypsy the persona, became the sort of detective story herself could have written.” (In addition to the novels “The G-String Murders” and “Mother Finds a Body” and her memoir, Lee, who had no formal education, wrote several New Yorker articles and a play, “The Naked Genius.”)

To illuminate not just Lee but the history of vaudeville, burlesque and New York City in the 1920s and ’30s, Abbott has chosen an unconventional structure, hopscotching nonchronologically between 1911 and 1970, the years of Lee’s birth and death. Beginning and ending “American Rose” with Lee’s performance at the 1940 World’s Fair, Abbott creates a brainy striptease similar to the one her subject may have performed: uncovering doozies in one chapter about Lee’s outrageous life, followed in the next by the less salacious (but always captivating) details about how New York City’s Minsky brothers, who played a crucial role in Lee’s stardom, built their burlesque empire.

Most of those doozies somehow involve the world’s most monstrous stage mother: Rose Thompson Hovick, of whom Morton Minsky declared, her

“river did not run to the sea.” As children, Lee and her younger sister, actress June Havoc, were known, respectively, as Rose Louise and Baby June (later, Dainty June) on the vaudeville circuit; Mother acknowledged only Baby’s talent. Rose, Abbott writes, “raised her daughters as if they were two grizzled generals preparing for war — with men, with her, with each other.”

The Rose depicted here makes the leather-lunged tyrant embodied on stage and screen by Ethel Merman, Rosalind Russell and Patti LuPone look like Carol Brady. After June suffers a nervous breakdown at age 12 from nonstop work, Rose insists she get right back onstage. Mother was, literally, a murderer (killing once, and most likely twice, but never convicted of a crime) and a master manipulator (she played sick mind games not just with her daughters but with numerous women whom Abbott refers to as Rose’s “lesbian harem”).

But Rose is also, as Abbott details in a series of fascinating, sometimes queasy-making episodes, the love of thrice-married Gypsy Rose Lee’s life: “Theirs is a primal connection that Gypsy is incapable of severing, paral-

lel to love and just as deep but rotten at its root.”

Mama realizes her supposedly talentless firstborn is her meal ticket after Lee starts making a name for herself on the burlesque circuit in the early ‘30s.

Rose would anonymously send Gypsy flowers with cards addressed to “My Queen” and “Stageland’s Loveliest,” always signing them from “a secret admirer.” Mama’s constant presence was referenced in Gypsy’s famous quip, after her arrest for an “indecent performance”: “I wasn’t naked. I was completely covered by a blue spotlight. Just ask my mother, who is always with me.”

Rose and Gypsy, Abbott writes, were “keepers of each other’s secrets, hoarders of a devastating currency they couldn’t afford to trade.” After Rose died in 1954, Gypsy may have been free of her mother’s psychic pull, but she continued to follow her advice: “Just find a good story and stick with it.”

Rising star Ginsberg strikes again “The Neighbors Are Watching”

by Debra Ginsberg (Crown, 336 pgs., $23.99)

By Joy Tipping

The Dallas Morning News

Debra Ginsberg is one of those novelists for whom I’ve happily become a literary evangelist: I’ve given her books to friends, I write about them every chance I get, and I enjoy vicarious thrills when I see them getting rave reviews.

Her last book, the deliciously twisty “The Grift,” was a 2008 New York Times notable book, and her first novel, 2006’s “Blind Submission,” remains my all-time favorite fictional take on the publishing industry. Ginsberg has also written a couple of dynamite memoirs.

With her latest, “The Neighbors Are Watching,” I find myself asking once again: This woman is not yet a superstar because ... ? Her gifts for on-the-button characterization and wry observation get stronger with each novel, and “Neighbors” offers the kind of reading that’ll keep you up all night — and then have you gazing at your own neighbors with perhaps a tad more interest than usual the next morning.

The book is set amid the backdrop of the deadly 2007 wildfires that forced evacuation of half a million San Diego residents. A pregnant 17-year-old, Diana Jones, shows up on her father’s doorstep not long before the conflagration.

Diana’s mere existence comes as a surprise to Joe’s wife, Allison, and it doesn’t help that he has refused to indulge Allison’s desire to have a child.

Diana takes up with a neighbor boy named Kevin, son of Dorothy Werner. Dorothy, heavily involved in the neighborhood association, takes her duties as watchmeerkat far too seriously, seeing things that she shouldn’t with alarming regularity.

Kevin, it’s implied, has bad-boy tendencies. As Allison, a teacher, ponders, “She couldn’t understand how Dick and Dorothy Werner maintained their holierthan-thou attitude considering they’d raised that kid, Kevin. Just naming a kid Kevin was asking for trouble.

Allison knew from experience that the Kevins in her class were always going to be troublemakers.”

That kind of illogical but all-too-common thinking permeates “Neighbors,” making it both hilarious and cautionary. When Diana disappears after the wildfire evacuations, leaving her newborn infant behind, secrets and suspicions come boiling to the surface, threatening to scald everyone in their wake.

Was she murdered? Did she run away? Everyone’s a suspect.

If there is any literary justice, Ginsberg soon will be a huge star. This might be your last chance to say, “I knew her when.”

He will, in “The Meowmorphosis” by Kafka and Coleridge Cook, coming in May from Quirk Books.

literary works available in the public domain.

Since the original hit the bestseller list, Quirk has published a steady stream of literary mash-ups: “Android Karenina,” “Sense and Sensibility and Sea Monsters” and “Pride and Prejudice and Zombies: Dawn of the Dreadfuls.” In March, it will release Part 3 of the Pride-PrejudiceZombies series, “Pride and Prejudice and Zombies: Dreadfully

Ever After,” with a zombifying Mr. Darcy on the cover. (Horrors!

Not Darcy!).

Other publishers, including Grand Central Publishing, have gotten in on the mash-up action. Seth Grahame-Smith, who penned the zombie part of “Pride and Prejudice and Zombies,” wrote “Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter” for Grand Central, giving American history a supernatural twist. Both it and “Pride and

Prejudice and Zombies” are said to be headed to the big screen.

But — Kafka? “Gregor Samsa is a humble young man who supports his unemployed parents and teenage sister by working as a traveling fabric salesman,” the publisher’s catalog promises. It continues: “But his life goes strangely wrong in the very first sentence of ‘The Meowmorphosis,’ when he wakes up late for work and discovers that he has inexplicably became an adorable kitten.

His family must admit that yes, their son is now OMG so cute —

but what good is cute when there are bills to pay? How can Gregor be so selfish as to devote his attention to a ball of yarn? And how dare he jump out the bedroom window to wander through Kafka’s literary landscape? Never before has a cat’s tale been so poignant, strange and horrifyingly funny.”

Will his father throw apples at Gregor the kitten? Will cute kitten Gregor meet as tragic an end as Gregor the creepy cockroach did in Kafka’s “The Metamorphosis”? “The Meowmorphosis” promises the answers.

Swedish authors stoke fire Larsson ignited ‘Three Seconds’

by Anders Roslund and Borge Hellstrom, translated

by Kari Dickson (Silver Oak, 489 pgs., $24.95)

By Janet Maslin

New York Times News Service

This is the sound of music, for those who publish mystery novels these days: “He accelerated after Slussen, along Stadsgardskajen, then braked and turned off just before Danvikstull bridge and the municipal boundary with Nacka.

Down Tegelviksgatan and then left into Alsnogatan to the barrier that blocked the only road up to Danviksberget.”

In other words: Sweden. Even better, it’s Stockholm, aka the place where Stieg Larsson lived, died and somehow managed to write his blockbuster Millennium trilogy along the way. The passage is from “Three Seconds,” which is not the first book written by the odd-couple team of Anders Roslund (journalist) and Borge Hellstrom (ex-criminal). But “Three Seconds” is the first Roslund and Hellstrom book that has been wishfully packaged to suggest that “The Girl With the Dragon Tattoo” has a second cousin.

“Three Seconds” spent the

better part of a year on Swedish best-seller lists. Its authors won a prize — the Swedish Academy of Crime Writers’ Award for Swedish Crime Novel of the Year — that has also been awarded to Larsson and Henning Mankell. They know how to deliver the kind of stilted, world-weary verbosity that somehow quickens the pulses of this genre’s readers. Even better, they are on a firstname basis with the Seven Dwarfs of Scandinavian Noir: Guilty, Moody, Broody, Mopey, Kinky, Dreary and Anything-but-Bashful.

Roslund and Hellstrom know better than to make “Three Seconds” short, no matter what kind of brevity its title describes. So this is a nearly 500-page book with a many-faceted plot, and the authors are in no hurry to bring their story into focus. They begin with a kind of party exhortation: “Eat, drink, and throw up.”

Those are the instructions given to drug mules who have ingested small rubber parcels of amphetamines and have successfully transported them into Sweden

from Poland.

There’s a nugget of social criticism at the heart of this plot idea.

The Polish mafia’s plan to expand into Sweden involves supplying drugs to Swedish prisons, e u ph e m i s t ic a l l y referred to as “the closed market” in this story. A scheme like this necessarily involves two Swedish authorities: the police and the Prison and Probation Service.

The book ascribes malfeasance to both sides, saying that “the Police Service has for many years used criminals as covert human intelligence sources,” that the police conceal and deny this process, and that prison authorities quietly condone it. “If prisoners were not high on chemical substances,” the authors write in an afterword, “the Prison and Probation Service would be forced to improve skills and competence at a cost that we, society, would not be prepared to pay.”

That brings us to Paula, the mysterious character who appears in the book’s violent opening. Paula is one of the drug

mules on the Poland-to-Sweden route. Paula is the code name for a man, Piet Hoffman. And Piet is a Swedish police infiltrator whose dealings with top-level Polish gangsters have put him in an exceedingly dangerous situation. He is also a bona fide excon, since the police believe that it takes a real criminal to impersonate one.

The drug deal turns violent. A second Swedish police informant is killed by the mobsters. Piet escapes and is on the run. To add to his troubles, he is saddled with the trumped-up criminal record that the police created for him, so that he appears to be a much more dangerous character than he actually is. And Piet, though a stereotypically devoted family man, knows that he is headed for prison. So he concocts the elaborate scheme that is at the heart of “Three Seconds” and which eventually makes this a nail-biter of a book.

Most of this plan’s particulars are too clever to be given away here. But as a sample, consider Piet’s use of tulips. Just before he’s scheduled to report to prison, he buys fresh, tightly closed tulips. He warms them until they open. He inserts a packet of amphetamines inside each flower. He then cools the flow-

ers at exactly the temperature that will keep them shut for 24 hours, by which time they will be on the desk of a prison official, ostensibly as a gift from local businessmen.

Fans of the genre are more apt to appreciate the devilishness of such plot details than the tiresome, vaguely ungrammatical character development that comes with them. There are too many bloody times when “Three Seconds” bogs down this way.

Perhaps something is lost in translation.

Certainly something will be lost on those who, in reading “Three Seconds,” are entering the authors’ Ewert Grens series in midstream. Grens is Piet’s main antagonist in “Three Seconds” and is presented as a bleakly eccentric character with a heart-rending back story.

Grens is in deep mourning for his wife, who spent much of her life in a nursing home after being accidentally run over by her husband. Grens is obsessed with a vintage Swedish pop singer who means more to him than she will to you. He is a loner who lies on the floor a lot. But he has the aura of a beloved curmudgeon, and he is liable to be back in other halfdecent Millennium knockoffs along the lines of this one.

When the Rockefellers went shopping, culture was for sale ”America’s Medicis”

by Suzanne Loebl (Harper, 429 pgs., $34.99)

By Philip Boroff Bloomberg News

NEW YORK — If you love to shop, it helps to be a Rockefeller.

“America’s Medicis: The Rockefellers and Their Astonishing Cultural Legacy” is an absorbing book about buying and building, decorating and redecorating, commissioning and donating.

The heirs of oil baron John D. Rockefeller had money, taste and a philanthropic tradition.

“America’s artistic landscape would be totally different were it not for the Rockefellers,” writes author Suzanne Loebl.

This largely admiring account doesn’t delve into the environmental legacy of the oil that enriched the family. And Loebl makes only passing reference to “the unscrupulous development of a highly profitable oil monopoly” that “mesmerized Senior” — John D. Rockefeller.

She focuses on the role the Rockefellers played in creating the Museum of Modern Art, Lincoln Center for the Performing Arts and the Asia Society, among other endeavors.

The book starts with John D.

Rockefeller Jr., a shy boy with psychosomatic ills who was a star student at Brown. More than a dozen social-science courses helped instill in him a social conscience. He found he disliked working in the family business and focused on philanthropy.

Even his prime commercial venture aimed high.

He built Manhattan’s Rockefeller Center at great risk during the Depression, spending about $50 million of his savings.

— the equivalent to about $800 million today. The project was initially dismissed by architec-

ture critics but deemed a marvel once finished. It also made the family money.

Junior funded construction of Riverside Church, a Gothic cathedral completed in Morningside Heights in 1930. A devout and decisive man, he gave competing architects all of four weeks to come up with a floor plan. His donations to the cathedral exceeded $32 million ($421 million today).

He completed the atmospheric Cloisters in upper Manhattan in 1938, creating out of large chunks of imported medieval architecture a handsome setting for the Unicorn Tapestries, among other treasures. And in 1952, he left the place a $10 million trust fund

(the equivalent of $83 million today). Germain Bazin, a former director of the Louvre, called it “the crowning achievement of American museology.”

Junior’s wife, Abby, was a pioneering contemporary-art collector who helped start New York’s Museum of Modern Art. She hired its first director, a 27year-old scholar named Alfred Barr.

If you weren’t aware of the Rockefeller imprint on Manhattan, the book is something of a revelation. But in chronicling several generations, it’s less successful at bringing to life these latter-day Medicis than the institutions they created and endowed.

Say goodbye to life on Earth “A Is for Armageddon”

by Richard Horne (Harper, 272 pgs., $19.99)

By Nick Owchar

Los Angeles Times

After reading Richard Horne’s “A Is for Armageddon,” there’s an obvious question to ask post-New Year’s (besides how to get rid of a doozy of a hangover): Why bother making any resolutions?

Life on Earth could end tomorrow — or today, for that matter — thanks to any of a gallery of horrors served up by the universe or produced by ourselves. So, do I really need to worry about dropping 15 pounds or quitting smoking this year? Just 10 minutes with this book are guaranteed to make a paranoiac out of the calmest person in the room.

Horne organizes his book using a chart titled “Periodic Catastrophic,” inspired by the periodic table of the elements: Here the abbreviations refer to crises in the Earth’s past and possibly its future. “Ic,” for instance, refers to the Ice Age, “Fa” for famine, “Rw” for religious warfare and “Ai” for artificial intelligence (“when your computer becomes aware that it’s infuriated with you”).

This is no sober tome like last year’s “The Atlas of the Real World” (Thames & Hudson) with its computer-generated maps of global consumption and explanations written in a grim, we’re-all-gonnadie-soon typeface. Instead, Horne gives us an Armageddon that’s vivid and flashy with hip characterizations and humor that’s the equivalent of the comic relief in a Shakespearean tragedy.

If humanity must leave the Earth, for instance, where to?

Horne suggests Mars, “the only planet in the solar system that we can turn into an extension of Earth. Think of Mars as a kind of space shed at the end of the garden.”

There’s just one thing to do.

“Let’s laugh in the face of extinction,” Horne writes, “and hope that Death has forgotten to pencil Judgment Day on his To Do list.”

Crafting the custom library

By Penelope Green

New York Times News Service

It took Thatcher Wine a year to amass 2,000 well-preserved white vellum and cream-colored leather-bound books for a “gentleman’s library” in the Northern California estate of a private equity manager. Perfectly matched sets of books bound in antique vellum, a pale leather made from goat or sheepskin, are an elusive quarry, especially if they all have to be in English, said Wine, a former Internet entrepreneur who now creates custom book collections and decorative “book solutions,” as he puts it, in his Boulder, Colo., warehouse.

“German is easy — it’s easy to find a complete set of vellum Goethe in the original German,” he said. But Wine had to search long and hard to find clean copies of authors like Thackeray, Galsworthy and Conrad. For this client was after more than pretty bindings: He wanted the option of being able to read his books.

The young Upper East Side clients of Jenny Fischbach, a design partner at Cullman & Kravis Inc., the tony Manhattan decorating firm, were similarly inclined — they wanted literary classics mixed with art books for a silver-inflected art library. So Wine chose works by Kate Chopin, Jane Austen and Robert Browning and wrapped them in matte silver paper, to match the silver hardware in the room.

Not all of Wine’s clients, who include hotel designers and high-end builders, are so fastidious about content. For the spa in Philippe Starck’s Icon Brickell, the icy glass condo tower in Miami, he was asked to wrap 1,500 books in blank white paper, without titles, to provide a “textural accent” to the space. He chose mass-market hardcovers that flood the used book outlets — titles by John Grisham and Danielle Steel, or biographies of Michael Jackson, he said — because they are cheap, clean and a nice, generous size. For another Starck project, in Dallas, Wine used black paper to wrap the 2,000 vintage books he picked for their “distressed edges,” so they could be displayed backward.

Book lovers, you can exhale.

The printed, bound book has been given a stay of execution by an unlikely source: the design community. In this Kindle-andiPad age, architects, builders and designers are still making spaces with shelves — lots and lots of shelves — and turning to companies like Wines’ Juniper Books for help filling them up.

Jeffrey Colle, a builder of vast Hamptons estates that mimic turn-of-the-century designs, wouldn’t think of omitting a library from one of his creations. A

Bullying Continued from F1

2. Bullies are bullies and victims are victims Actually, it is common for kids who are bullied at home by an older sibling or abused by a parent to become bullies themselves at school. Domestic violence and bullying feed each other.

Researchers have found that elementary school bullies are more likely than non-bullies to have witnessed domestic violence during their preschool years. According to a 2007 study of bullying in Japan, South Africa and the United States, 72 percent of children who were physically abused by their parents became bullies, victim of bullies or both.

But taking out their frustrations on kids at school doesn’t help bullies. Researchers have found that bullies who are bullied themselves have higher rates of depression, anxiety, anger and low self-esteem than kids who are only bullies, only victims or who are not involved in bullying at all.

3. Bullying ends when you grow up Bullying is negative, mean, repetitive behavior that occurs in a relationship characterized by an imbalance of power. It can happen in a middle school — but it can also happen in an office. According to the Journal of Management Studies, nearly 50 percent of American workers have experienced or witnessed bullying in the workplace, even if they did not recognize it as such.

In that study, more than 400 workers in the United States completed an online survey about negative workplace behaviors. They were told that bullying occurs when an individual experiences “at least two negative acts, week-

Thatcher Wine, who owns Juniper Books, at his warehouse in Boulder, Colo., on Dec. 2. Wine creates customized libraries for collectors and commercial clients.

16,800-square-foot Shingle-style house on 42 acres in Water Mill, N.Y., comes with a $29.995 million price tag and a library Colle had built from French chalked quarter-sawn oak; with about 150 feet of shelf space, there is room for more than 1,000 books. It’s up to the buyer or their decorator to fill that space, said Colle, who has collaborated with Bennett Weinstock, a Philadelphia decorator known for his English interiors, on some of his libraries. Weinstock still shops in London to find just the right leather-bound look, he said. “Some people will insist that they be in English, because they want them to look as if they could read the books,” Weinstock said. “Others don’t care what language the books are in as long as the bindings are beautiful.”

The old practice of buying yards of leather-bound law journals or Swedish medical texts for an instant library is out of favor.

“I don’t think you should have law journals unless one of you is actually a lawyer,” Weinstock said.

Instead, some designers are finding ever more elaborate ways to tweak books their clients already own. Peter Pennoyer, a New York architect, is designing wooden boxes that look like perfectly bound books — “in sort of a tomato-soup-with-cream color,” he said — to contain an unruly looking collection of literary classics owned by a client.

“A book,” he pointed out, “is a meaningful, sensory experience.

If we buy her all new Trollope, then she’s suddenly looking at a volume that’s foreign, that doesn’t smell right or have the typeface that’s familiar. If she doesn’t have the memory of having read the book, it’s not going to mean the same thing. My thought is to elevate all these mismatched bindings and put them in these containers, so it all looks uniform and pretty, but the client can keep the books she’s loved for decades.”

ly or more often, for six or more months in situations where targets find it difficult to defend against and stop abuse.” The workers reported verbal abuse (threatening, intimidating, critical and humiliating comments), physical abuse (throwing a paperweight, shoving, pushing, slapping) and sexual abuse (unwanted sexual advances and sexual assault).

Columnist Dan Savage’s It Gets Better campaign is a worthy effort to convince bullied adolescents that their lives will improve. However, anti-bullying programs and legislation focused on schools should — and probably will at some point — extend to adults in the workplace. According to the sponsors of the Healthy Workplace Bill, 80 percent of workplace bullying is legal — and 72 percent of bullies outrank their targets.

4. Bullying is a major cause of suicide According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, suicide is the third-leading cause of death for 15- to 24-year-olds, behind traffic accidents and homicide. And while individuals who are bullied are at increased risk for self-harm, it’s too simplistic to blame the deaths of victims solely on bullying.

According to the CDC, risk factors for suicide include a family history of suicide, depression or other mental illness, alcohol or drug abuse, a personal loss, easy access to firearms and medication, exposure to the suicidal behavior of others, and isolation.

Bullying can be a trigger for suicide, but other underlying factors are usually involved. Interpreting a teen-ager’s suicide as a reaction to bullying ignores the complex emotional problems that American youth face. To understand the complexity of suicidal behavior, we need to look beyond one factor.

Other designers say their clients are asking for more personalized content: color-coordinated regional histories, for example, or Western-themed titles with punchy, early 20th-century jackets.

“I don’t think anyone says blatantly, ‘I don’t care’ anymore,” said Fischbach of Cullman & Kravis. “There are always parameters, even if it’s what I jokingly call the typical intellectual collector’s library.”

Alexa Hampton, the New York decorator, remembers her father, Mark Hampton, buying “masses of random, leather-bound books to assemble libraries,” she said.

“But the people I work for don’t want books just as backdrop or theater, which they did 20 years ago. Now they want books they actually might read.”

Two weeks ago, Alexa Hampton and a foreign client for whom she is decorating an Upper East Side pied-a-terre spent a morning at the Strand, picking out histories and antique sports books for a dining room, and contemporary fiction and biographies for the bedroom. “When people are reading less,” Hampton said, “you think more people would say, ‘Just fill it with books and make it pretty.’ Instead, they are very involved.”

It’s not always practical to haul the client off to a bookstore, however. Jenny McKibben, who runs the book-by-the-foot business at the Strand — which now accounts for 5 percent of the store’s sales, she said — takes mostly phone and Internet orders. Designers at the Rockwell Group asked for Rat Pack biographies, gambling and other “Sin City themes,” she said, more than 1,000 books to spread about the 110,000-square-foot casino and 2,995 rooms of the Cosmopolitan of Las Vegas, the new casino resort there. The designers of the new Bowlmor, a bowling alley-nightclub on West 43rd

5. We can end bullying Can we? The debate rages on.

In 2008, a study of school bullying-prevention programs over nearly 25 years found that they changed attitudes and perceptions about bullying, but not bullying behavior. This isn’t great news. Victims of bullying don’t want to know more about bullying — they want it to stop.

Nonetheless, when schools collect data about bullying and intervene when they observe it, they can change the culture that supports the behavior. Programs such as Steps to Respect, Second Step, Bully-Proofing Your School and the Olweus Bullying Prevention Program have proved particularly promising. A 2009 study in the Journal of Educational Psychology found that Steps to Respect — whose website says it “teaches elementary students to recognize, refuse, and report bullying, be assertive, and build friendships” — reduced bullying by 31 percent in some schools in Washington state. Parent training, increased playground supervision, effective disciplinary methods, home-and-school communication, classroom management and the use of training videos have also been associated with reductions in bullying.

No program can end bullying in every community, and no program has eliminated 100 percent of bullying behaviors. However, when awareness of bullying becomes as much a part of school culture as reverence for athletics or glee club, we’ll have a shot at finally stopping it.

Susan M. Swearer, an associate professor of school psychology at the University of Nebraska at Lincoln, is the co-author of “Bullying Prevention and Intervention: Realistic Strategies for Schools” and the co-director of the Bullying Research Network.

Street in Manhattan, envisioned the place as a TriBeCa loft — minimal and modern — and asked for a collection “that was young, fun and hip.” McKibben said she procured “100 feet of brightly colored books on music, film, cars, games, retro-themed fun topics, NYC-themed topics, wine and spirits, architecture, modern art and design, contemporary fiction and, of course, bowling.”

For a massive beach house in South Carolina decorated by Fischbach, Wine interviewed the clients at length to gauge their appetites in sports, fiction, politics and religion. He asked Fischbach about their art — Robert Motherwell, Rothko, Agnes Martin — so he could find monographs of the artists. He researched the area, too, and prescribed a mix of regional histories.

“I think I’m pretty good at extrapolating tastes from a small amount of information,” said Wine, who created a collection of 4,000 books, packed them up in boxes labeled by room and topic — contemporary mysteries, for example, for the front hall — and sent them off to the house to be unpacked and styled by Fischbach.

As she put it: “Architects build so many shelves into new construction — it adds warmth and their aesthetic stamp. Thatcher is a necessity at this point in these large homes,” she said, ticking off five projects on which she and Wine have collaborated. “I couldn’t pull off filling these miles of bookshelves without him.” For his work, Wine charges from $80 to $350 a foot. The rare vellum is more pricey, at about $750 a foot; the Northern California library he did for the private equity manager cost about $80,000, he said.

In the custom book business, you might call Wine a designer label and the Strand, ready-to-wear.

The Maryland-based Wonder Book, then, with its 54,000square-foot warehouse, represents the mass market. Chuck Roberts, its amiable owner, said he gets requests from developers, set designers, decorators needing 1,000 books for a holiday deadline, even wedding planners.

“We’ve had a great year — it’s broken all records,” Roberts said, noting that his book-by-the-foot business now represents almost 20 percent of his total sales.

For Tolstoy and Russia, still no happy ending

By Ellen Barry and Sophia Kishkovsky

New York Times News Service

MOSCOW — A couple of months ago one of Russia’s elder statesmen set out on a paradoxical mission: to rehabilitate one of the most beloved figures in Russian history, Tolstoy.

This would have seemed unnecessary in 2010, a century after the author’s death. But last year Russians wrestled over Tolstoy much as they did when he was alive. Intellectuals accused the Russian Orthodox Church of blacklisting a national hero. The church accused Tolstoy of helping speed the rise of the Bolsheviks. The melodrama of his last days, when he fled his family estate to take up the life of an ascetic, was revived in all its pulpy detail, like some kind of earlystage reality television.

And in a country that rarely passes up a public celebration, the anniversary of his death, on Nov. 20, 1910, was not commemorated by noisy galas or government-financed cinematic blockbusters. Officially speaking, it was barely noted at all.

With this in mind, Sergei Stepashin, a former prime minister here, sat down to write to the head of the Russian Orthodox Church, which has become an arbiter of politics and culture. In painstakingly diplomatic language, acknowledging “the particular sensitivity” of “this delicate theme,” Stepashin asked forgiveness on behalf of Tolstoy, who was excommunicated 110 years ago.

Ambivalence toward Tolstoy is new in Russia.

The Soviets planted him at the top of their literary pantheon, largely because of the radical philosophy he preached amid the early rumblings of the October Revolution. The publication of “War and Peace” and “Anna Karenina” made Tolstoy so famous that one contemporary described him as Russia’s second czar. He used that position to rail against the church, as well as the police, the army, meat eating, private property and all forms of violence.

Lenin loved Tolstoy’s “pentup hatred.” He anointed him “the mirror of the Russian

Revolution,” ignoring his pacifism and belief in God. As the 50th anniversary of his death approached, the Central Committee of the Communist Party began preparing two years in advance, so a monument would be ready for unveiling.

For the centennial, in a Russia wary of utopian thought, there was nothing of the kind.

By contrast, Chekhov received lavish official tributes in 2010 for his 150th birthday, including a birthplace visit from President Dmitry Medvedev.

None of this came as a surprise to Vladimir Tolstoy, Tolstoy’s great-great-grandson, who oversees the museum at Yasnaya Polyana, the author’s estate.

Tolstoy, 48, has the slender, avid look of a professional intellectual, but his last name has called on him to wade into politics. He worked on one of Prime Minister Vladimir Putin’s presidential campaigns and does favors for area officials when they need “the authority or prestige of Tolstoy,” as he put it.

Ten years ago he asked the church to revisit the 1901 ruling that excommunicated his great-great-grandfather.

He received no answer. Although his efforts have not ended — a visitor to Yasnaya Polyana recalled a banquet table laid out in the orchard for the local bishop — Tolstoy said he was not hopeful.

Aside from a reception held by the minister of culture, the anniversary transpired with “a conscious ignoring of Tolstoy,” he said.

“Any power tries to adapt great people to its needs,” he added. “The current authorities don’t adapt him, or they are not clever enough. Maybe they are so self-confident they don’t think they need to.”

It was a relief when Stepashin joined the effort. The men met about 15 years ago, when Stepashin, then director of the Federal Security Service, presented Tolstoy with sheaves of family letters pulled out of Soviet intelligence files. Stepashin, who recalls staying up two nights as a 10-year-old so that he could finish Tolstoy’s novel “Resurrection,” shared the sense that the writer was getting short shrift.

2011 OUTLOOK

JOHN STEARNS

Would-be buyers face even more hurdles on home front

Hard times bring new perspective

S

acrifice, perseverance, acceptance, optimism.

They’re words that came to mind after meeting Cary and Connie Lowe at their Bend store, The Produce Patch, last week.

They’re selling everything in the store — a combination natural-foods grocery and indoor fruit and vegetable stand — and closing their business’s home of three-plus years. Everything’s 40 percent off and proceeds from the inventory will be, as Cary said, their bank account until they reopen as a seasonal produce stand in early May. Their upbeat, move-on attitude after such a rough ride lately is refreshing.

Cary, 44, greets customers as they walk through the door, asks how they’re doing and reminds them of the storewide discount. The Lowes don’t seem bitter, but wiser. They’re more focused on living and working within the reality of the times, doing more with less and grateful for what they have as a family.

Cary tries to focus on his grandma’s advice from her memory of the Depression, “Don’t let it steal your joy.”

Ironically, the Lowes are coming full circle. They ran a produce stand in south Bend from 1997 until they expanded into a grocery format in a permanent location. That was fall 2007, pre-recession, pre-implosion of real estate and Bend’s economy. Business was good and responding to requests, they sought to offer year-round eats for their customers, many of whom were connected with real estate and construction.

They loved their new digs at Southeast Second Street and Willow Lane.

They were out of the weather, had a restroom and heat in winter.

“This was kind of a dream come true,” said Connie, 40.

The first few months were great, “then January (2008), it was dead,” she said. The great decline had begun, then worsened and it never abated.

Their landlord worked with them, they pared living expenses, tried everything to keep the store except lower food quality. Factors that also hurt included more people seemingly choosing to eat cheap, rather than well in hard times, as Cary said, and an out-of-sight, outof-mind location. Some people also perceived that moving indoors somehow meant food was less fresh than if it were bought at a produce stand, Connie said.

“We didn’t change, we just moved indoors,” she said.

They had to give up a lot of stuff — things like new vehicles, tractors, etc.

— to keep the store open, but found they didn’t need the stuff, Cary said.

They now pay cash for personal and business items when they buy them, rather than use credit cards.

“It’s like living … how our grandparents lived after the Depression,” Connie said. If you don’t have the money for it, don’t buy it, she said. “That’s what we’re trying to teach our kids, too.”

For the many local businesses struggling in these times, when the recession is technically over but not its effects, Cary also encouraged people to shop at their favorite mom and pop stores. “If you like some local businesses, support them,” he said. They need the business.

Some people’s perception that everything’s cheaper at big-box stores isn’t accurate, Connie said. Cary noted items in their store that are equal or cheaper.

Also, quality is key to the couple. That includes produce Cary buys from farms in the Northwest and the all-natural grocery products. For health reasons, Connie’s determined to have her family “eat as natural as possible” and strives to offer that option for customers.

When The Produce Stand reopens, it will offer the same fresh produce and some grocery items, and also may carry locally raised, frozen meat such as pork, lamb and beef. The location is yet to be determined. Connie likes south Bend.

Cary is open to more alternatives.

“We just want to stick out like a sore thumb,” he said.

As painful as it’s been lately, one gets the sense they’re wiser and stronger.

Cary tells people it’s better to have loved something (the store, in this case) and lost it, than not to have loved at all.

The couple can survive on a seasonal business, Connie said. “… We like Bend too much to leave.”

SUNRIVER — rom his garage-sized shop across the Deschutes River from Crosswater golf course, Mark Platin worked on a half dozen or so banjos last week.

He builds fewer now than his company, Wildwood Banjo Co., produced in its heyday.

In the 1970s and ’80s, Wildwood

turned out 30 to 35 banjos a month, and in the ’90s, the company’s nine employees cranked out 500 to 600 electric guitar bodies a month from a 7,000-squarefoot factory in Arcata, Calif.

High-volume production may have been good for business, but not for Platin. It drained him, he said.

So a few years ago, Platin, 62, sold

“We decided to really make the quality of our life (our priority),” he said.

“We’d been in Arcata for 30 years. We wanted to try something new. “(I decided) to downsize the banjo business and go back to how I started, making really good instruments at an affordable price.”

None of the 14 musical instrument manufacturers listed by the state Employment Department appears to make banjos, although for several, it’s hard to tell what they make. The 2007 Economic Census lists 18 in the category, but it does not break them down by instrument.

Wildwood banjos generate rave reviews on some Web-based discussion forums, such as those on banjohangout.org, and Rick Havern, a tenor banjo player from Bend, said he knows a person who won’t play anything else. “I have played some of his banjos, and every one I have played I liked,” Havern said.

CHICAGO — The drumbeat from the housing community was loud and clear in 2010: There was never a better time to buy a home.

For most of the past 12 months, home prices tumbled, mortgage rates ticked downward, and the inventory of available traditional and distressed homes was plentiful.

But would-be buyers, even if they were able to overcome job worries, found that the hurdles to obtain a loan were formidable.

They remained on the sidelines, and housing analysts opined that if the broader economy improved and unemployment fell, pent-up demand would be unleashed, credit guidelines would ease and home sales would improve.

As the new year begins, that guarded optimism has turned into uncertainty, thanks to a combination of rising mortgage rates, tighter underwriting guidelines and sweeping government regulation. As a result, it’s unlikely to get any easier and may, in fact, get much more difficult to buy a home in 2011.

“From a credit standpoint, I tend to think we’re toward the bottom of that cycle,” said Bob Walters, chief economist for Quicken Loans Inc. “The bad news is, I don’t think it’s going to get a lot better in 2011. You’ll hear a lot more noise pressuring the industry to ease guidelines, and you’ll hear from the industry that we don’t want a redo of what’s happened.”

Risky practices Looming large over the mortgage market are provisions of the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act that have yet to be finalized.

Among them is a requirement that mortgage lenders maintain some “skin” in the game on the mortgages they originate by holding at least 5 percent of the credit risk rather than bundling the loans and selling them off entirely.

The goal is to discourage a repeat of risky past practices, but the legislation makes an exception to the risk-retention standard for what is labeled a “qualified residential mortgage.” It is the still-unspecified definition of what’s become the industry’s latest acronym to digest, QRM, that has lenders in an uproar.

If a very strict definition is applied by regulators, and a final rule isn’t expected until the spring, it could become more difficult, and more costly, for homebuyers to secure mortgage financing.

Quit the business, keep the land: farmers and leasing

By Nancy Bartley The Seattle Times

SEATTLE — After 70-some years and four generations of milking cows in Washington’s Snohomish Valley, the Bartelheimers were the latest in a long list of dairy families who have called it quits. But the long, low barns had been empty for less than a week last month when the cows came home again.

Today, the dairy is in operation as one of four rented locations Jeremy and Jerald Visser are using to expand their herd. The Bartelheimers sold off 750 mature cows, some to the Vissers, and leased the dairy to the family. As a result, the Bartelheimers paid off debt and made their mortgage payments, and owner Dale Bartelheimer, 73, was able to retire.

It’s tough to make a living in the dairy business these days, but those who find economical ways to grow

have a better chance of surviving, said Ned Zaugg, Washington State University Extension’s dairy expert.

The Vissers — son Jeremy and father Jerald — believe the arrangement will be beneficial by giving them a place to expand their herd (and therefore potential profit) without the costs of land ownership.

Most Washington dairies are family-operated, many by people such as the Bartelheimers and Vissers, who have been in the business for generations. But the high cost of feed and the low price of milk mean the familyowned dairy is a dying breed.

When Zaugg came to the Northwest in 1993, Snohomish and Skagit counties each had more than 100 dairies. Strict state environmental rules were implemented in 1997. Now there are about 25 in each, he said.

“It is a crisis,” he said.

Dairy Continued from G1 Dairy farms also affect nearby towns, he said. Depending on the economy, every 100 cows represent $1 million to $2 million in income to surrounding communities, Zaugg said. Towns near a dairy often are small and have benefited from the dairy families’ involvement for years.

Niche dating sites fill consumer demand to help narrow the field From vegetarians to virgins, there’s a site to cater to any need

By Stephanie Rosenbloom

New York Times News Service

Whom do you want to date?

A bookworm? A beauty queen?

A virgin? A vegan? Whatever you’re seeking, chances are there’s a niche dating site for you.

Yes, even you, mustache fetishists (see StachePassions.com).

Singles on major sites like Match.com and Lavalife.com have long been able to narrow their searches for potential matches, based on their preferences for height, weight, smoking habits and other personal details. But in an age when consumers can customize their sneakers, their sweaters, even the writing on their M&Ms, is it any wonder they want even more control when it comes to cyber dating?

A raft of niche sites is offering the precision they crave.

A handful of them, like BlackSingles and JDate, have been around for a few years.

But now that broad-brush dating sites have saturated the market, niche players are growing ever more plentiful and popular, according to major market research firms that monitor the dating industry.

Here’s a smattering of what’s out there, be it new, intriguing, weird or all three.

Alikewise.com: You can’t judge a book by its cover, but you can tell a lot about a person by looking at their books. At least, that’s the idea behind this dating site that went live last summer. On this site, members with screen names befitting bibliophiles — BookBender, InkSmudge, LostinTheStacks — peruse lists and images of one another’s favorite page-turners. Take, for instance, the 45-year-old man from Los Angeles who relished “Into the Wild” by Jon Krakauer. “I can relate to the wanderlust portrayed in this book,” he wrote on his profile page, “as well as the integration of soul with pristine nature.”

Members can click on the image of a book to see others who enjoyed it. They can also receive alerts when a book they love is mentioned by another member.

The hope, of course, is that if two people fall for the same tome, they just might fall for each other, too. Subscriptions: free.

Cupidtino.com: “Are you a Mac or a PC?” There is only one answer on this nascent dating site for Apple product enthusiasts. The site’s founders contend that Apple fans tend to have creative professions, a similar sense of style and an appetite for technology. As they put it, “We believe these are enough fundamental reasons for two people to meet and fall in love.” To join the site — which echoes the clandestine minimalism of Apple advertisements but is not affiliated with the company — you must

tion. They began leasing other properties — one in Whatcom County and now two in Snohomish, and expanded the herd from 140 to 3,000 today.

With a bigger herd comes increased responsibilities and risks, Visser said: “I can’t afford to make mistakes.”

The year 2009 was the worst for the dairy industry, he said.

That’s when milk prices dropped to their lowest, $11.76 for about 12 gallons, while the price of feed remained high. Local dairies were paid $14.20 for the same amount of milk in 2005, and the rate today is about $15, Visser said.

Feed prices are high for several reasons. Prime locally grown hay is shipped to lucrative markets overseas, Bartelheimer said.

That makes available hay more expensive. Alfalfa, corn and soybeans are all part of a cow’s diet, and corn prices are high now, too, Visser said, because it’s in demand for ethanol.

“Unfortunately for a lot of agriculture, when one does well, another pays the penalty,” Zaugg

Housing Continued from G1 “People have some very different ideas of how to define this,” said Michael Fratantoni, vice president of research and economics at the Mortgage Bankers Association. “Some would say if it doesn’t have a 30 percent down payment, it’s not a QRM. For a first-time homebuyer, that would really be eye-opening. It definitely has the potential to turn the market upside down.

“This could dramatically tighten underwriting much more than what the lenders have already done. It’s going to make it even tougher to work through the (housing) overhang.”

Wells Fargo has told regulators it supports exempting mortgages with a 30 percent down payment. Community banks worry such a strict definition would curtail home mortgage lending.

“If you have to have 30 percent down, the American dream would become the American fantasy,” said Nick Parisi, a senior vice president at Standard Bank and Trust Co. in Hickory Hills, Ill.

WeWaited.com: Not every dating site is like OnlineBootyCall .com. Rather, there are dating sites like WeWaited.com, for virgins seeking other virgins. Don’t get any ideas: The site says it conducts background checks on would-be members to ensure they’re virgins. Now, there is only one way to confirm that — and it doesn’t involve a database.

Even so, the site’s founders, Leticia and Jose Colin, explain on their Web page that the screenings performed on prospective users reveal whether they have lied about their personal history (are they married or have they ever been arrested?). If that’s the case, the assumption is that the candidates have not been truthful about their virginity either. Subscriptions: $5 a month; $29.95 a year.

DateHarvardSq.com: When this site — the brainchild of two Harvard Business School graduates, Beri Meric and Philipp Triebel — went live a few months ago, it appeared to be a highbrow take on the likes of SugarDaddie.com. Heterosexual women who did not graduate from Harvard could pay to date men who had. Yet the site, which is not associated with the university, has since begun allowing other singles — Harvard

Members can then pick the matches, if any, they care to study further. Subscriptions: free for Harvard students and alumni; $19.99 to $39.99 for others. (The site’s founders are also creating IvyDate.com for other universities.)

BeautifulPeople.com: This dating pool for the genetically blessed came under fire this year when it ousted some 5,000 members for packing on the pounds during Christmastime. The site has a “strict ban on ugly people,” and issued a news release this month saying the cuts were made after many members posted photographs of themselves looking plump in the weeks after Thanksgiving.

“Letting fatties roam the site is a direct threat to our business model,” the site’s founder, Robert Hintze, said in a statement. If you can resist eggnog and want to apply for membership, you can submit photos, which will be voted on by existing members.

Subscriptions: $25 a month.

SeniorPeopleMeet.com: This dating site for the AARP set is aimed at one of the fastest-growing demographics in online dating. The number of seniors using the Internet in general increased to 17.5 million in November 2009, up from 11.3 million users in November 2004, according to Nielsen Media. Dating sites for seniors essentially resemble other singles sites, though members typically post fewer lingerie shots. Subscriptions: $13.95 to $19.95 a month.

VeggieDate.org: Dating sites for vegetarians abound: VeggieConnection.com, VeggieRomance.com, VeggieFishing.com, SingleVegetarians.com, Vegetarian-Dating.net, VegConnect.com, to name a few. VeggieDate.org is one of the oldest and its members’ diets run the gamut from vegan to “almost veg.” Subscriptions: $9.95 for three months; $19.95 for one year; $69.95 for lifetime membership.

planning to make farmstead cheese, and he bought 42 calves from the herd his father sold.

Bartelheimer says he knows it will take time to make money in the cheese business and that he’ll have to find another job in the interim.

Additional regulation on mortgage bankers will mean a thinning of their ranks, weeding out the unscrupulous players. But it also will lessen consumers’ ability to comparisonshop widely for the best home mortgage product.

“That means less competition, and generally, less competition is not good for the consumer,” said Quicken’s Walters. “It might mean that your interest rate over time is a little higher. A less competitive industry has to work less hard.”

Tighter lending requirements already have steered 40 percent of buyers to secure Federal Housing Administration-backed loans, which carry their own set of fees. FHAbacked loans are exempt from the Dodd-Frank provision.

Another new wrinkle to the mortgage market is that beginning in March, Freddie Mac will raise fees for mortgages sold to Freddie that carry higher loan-to-value ratios.

Fannie Mae in late December announced its own series of considerable loan-level price adjustments, effective April 1, for mortgages with greater than a 60 percent loanto-value that will apply even to consumers with credit scores above 700.

Loan fees aren’t the only item going up: So is the cost of money itself. The average rate on 30-year, fixed-rate mortgages has been below 5 percent since early May, but economists predict those days are nearing an end.

General guidance on mortgage rates for a 30-year, fixedrate mortgage call for them to stay under 6 percent for the year, likely falling somewhere between 4.75 percent and 5.5 percent. Still, that could be a jolt to buyers on the sidelines who watched rates drop to as low as 4.2 percent in the fall.

Fed in watch mode

Debit fee caps may cut profit on credit cards

By Peter Eichenbaum Bloomberg News

By Neil Irwin

The Washington Post

After a tumultuous 2010, what is on tap for Ben Bernanke and the Federal Reserve in 2011? A lot of watching, a good bit of waiting and some preemptive efforts to help steer the United States away from economic risks it could face in the coming years.

The Fed is in the process of buying $600 billion in Treasury bonds under a much-debated program announced in November that is meant to prop up growth. Amid new signs the economic outlook is improving, it is now likely that the Fed will allow the bond-purchase program to continue through its scheduled expiration in June but will not make purchases after that.

“There is a lot of inertia in this policy,” said Peter Hooper, chief economist at Deutsche Bank Securities. “It would take a pretty big break in the data one way or the other for them to either end the program early or extend it beyond June.”

With policy in a holding pattern, Chairman Bernanke and the Fed will be occupied in other ways: primarily monitoring the economy, trying to gauge whether it is recovering and determining what role the Fed’s actions played in any improvement. And they will be on the watch for emerging risks that could undermine the path of steady growth — the most obvious possibilities being further financial troubles in Europe or a failure of the U.S. government to put its own finances on a sustainable footing.

A key Bernanke lieutenant, Fed Vice Chairman Janet Yellen, said in a recent speech that if a credible deficit-reduction plan is not developed, financial markets could force the issue by demanding higher interest rates for lending money to the U.S. government.

“The sooner we start addressing the longer-term budget problem, the less wrenching the adjustment will have to be and the more control we — rather than market forces or international creditors — will have over the timing, size and composition of the necessary adjustments,” Yellen said Dec. 1 in New York.

Economic data have taken a more positive tone in recent weeks. The Institute for Supply Management said Wednesday that its December index of activity at nonmanufacturing businesses showed the strongest pace of growth at such firms since 2006, a surprisingly strong rise in the index to 57.1, from 55.

And the payroll processing firm ADP said private firms added 297,000 jobs in December, triple the number economists had forecast.

It’s long been known that December sales of fragrances can make or break the entire year.

Indeed, a perfume’s annual performance can be determined by purchases not only the week before Christmas but those of the morning of the 25th, said Karen Grant, vice president for beauty at the NPD Group, a market research firm.

So which new fragrances won over crowds in 2010? The leading women’s contenders that had their debuts last year, according to NPD, were Gucci Guilty, which is blingily packaged and smells fruity enough to eat; and Chanel’s Chance Eau Tendre, a sweet-floral sequel to the original Chance. Men favored Bleu de Chanel and Ralph Lauren’s Big Pony collection of four fragrances in vivid numbered bottles.

Final annual tallies from NPD won’t be available until later this month. However, Grant dared to hope for “at least a flat year,” which would be an improvement, she said, considering that “fragrance has pretty much been in decline, except for a few years with celebrity fragrances” since 2001.

Still, a designer fragrance remains a quintessential holiday gift because it’s seen as a way to bestow an affordable whiff of luxury from top-tier brands. Introduced this fall, Bleu de Chanel was not only a top Christmas seller for Bloomingdale’s, but the chain’s biggest men’s fragrance premiere ever, said Howard Kreitzman, its vice president for cosmetics and fragrances.

Often a fragrance beckons to a certain age demographic, but Bleu stands out for its “very, very broad base of appeal,” Kreitzman said, adding “You can give it to a teenage son and you can give it to your dad.”

Other men’s holiday hits for Bloomingdale’s included Marc

Jacobs’ Bang and Bulgari Man. For women, Gucci Guilty, Giorgio Armani’s Acqua di Gioia and Yves Saint Laurent’s Belle d’Opium sold briskly.

Gone, however, are the days when one blockbuster fragrance could dominate the landscape, as when consumers were transfixed by Christian Dior’s Poison in the 1980s or Yves Saint Laurent’s Opium in the ’70s.

“Everyone tried to wear these fragrances,” said Bettina O’Neill, the vice president for cosmetics and fragrances at Barneys New York. “But eventually you realize you can’t carry it off.”

A saturated market has also helped put an end to the behemoth fragrances of old. Every single year since 2000, there have been more fragrances put out into the world than in the two decades from 1970 to 1989, according to NPD. It used to be enough to attach a celebrity to a scent to get a hit (See Sean John’s Unforgivable for men from 2006), but now “you have to do more with them, more marketing, more novelty packaging to gain traction and visibility,” said Grant of NPD. Not even Beyoncé Heat was in the Top 20 for women’s fragrances in department stores, she said.

These days, plenty of fragrance lovers want to express their individuality with hard-tofind scents, O’Neill said.

“People are more educated, and women especially don’t want to smell like everyone else,” she said.

The women’s scents at Barneys that did well over the holidays included Byredo Parfums’ M/Mink ($195 for 100 milliliters), which has notes of patchouli leaf, clover honey and dark amber.

Two men’s scents that were not 2010 releases also performed well, O’Neill said: the Italian brand Bois 1920’s Classic ($180 for 100 milliliters), and the California brand Gendarme’s original cologne ($75 for 4 ounces). All in all, she said, their fra-

grance sales have bounced back from the dire days of 2009.

And despite costing $300 for 100 milliliters, a new Frederic Malle, Portrait of a Lady, with notes of spices and Turkish rose essence, sold well at Barneys and Aedes de Venustas, the perfume boutique in Manhattan, where Robert Gerstner, an owner, stocks hard-to-find fragrances as a way to thumb his nose at mass-market perfumes.

“We are individuals; we want to discover things,” Gerstner said, noting that the signature house scent ($185 for 3.4 ounces) did well this holiday, along with a pomegranate eau de cologne from the 400-yearold Santa Maria Novella ($110 for 3.3 ounces). “And then we are willing to pay money if the quality is there.”

Karen Dubin, the director of Sniffapalooza, which stages events for fragrance enthusiasts, predicts that ambrox, a musky, ambery molecule, found in M/Mink and Le Labo’s Another 13, will be the “new go-to ingredient” in niche fragrance.

Dubin, whose organization has hundreds of thousands of members worldwide, also thinks powdery scents are due for a comeback — led by Love, Chloe, by the French fashion house, which contains what she called “a dusty veil” from the ingredient heliotrope.

“I love the whole concept of smelling like vintage cosmetics and makeup, a sort of sweet powder smell,” Dubin enthused about Love, Chloe, which is sold exclusively at Saks Fifth Avenue until February.

For those who want to secure something exclusive to put under next year’s tree: ThreeASFOUR, a fragrance curated by the Parisian boutique Colette in 2005 and named for the fashion house, will be brought back by Aedes de Venustas this summer in a slightly tweaked formulation containing three elements of the original: vetiver, ginger and iris. Only 1,000 bottles will be available to start.

NEW YORK — A plan to slash debit card transaction fees also may wipe out some of the $38 billion that lenders collect on credit cards as merchants steer customers toward less costly forms of payment.

The threat stems from the Federal Reserve’s proposal to cap “swipe” fees, or interchange, at a flat 12 cents for each debit transaction, replacing a formula that averages 1 percent of the purchase.

The cap must be in place by July 21 to comply with the Dodd-Frank legislation that overhauled the financial industry last year. Credit card interchange fees, which average about 2 percent, remain untouched.

That means a $1,000 television set bought with a credit card would cost a retailer a $20 fee, compared with 12 cents for a debit card. The disparity may tempt merchants to offer discounts for debit, diverting business from credit cards issued by American Express, JPMorgan Chase, Bank of America and Citigroup.

“It’s a lot more effective now to steer to debit,” said Moshe Orenbuch, a Credit Suisse Group analyst, in an interview.

“You’ve massively opened up that gap on larger-ticket purchases.”

Visa and MasterCard, which set interchange fees and pass the money to cardissuing banks, tumbled more than 10 percent after the proposed rules were made public Dec. 16, based on investor concern that the caps will damage their business model.

The payments industry has escaped attempts to regulate credit card interchange, saying banks need the fees to compensate them for the risk of lending money. Congress recognized that difference in deciding not to include limits on credit card fees in DoddFrank, said Sen. Dick Durbin, the Illinois Democrat who pushed for the debit caps.

“Interchange fees on all of these transactions, credit and debit, need to be carefully scrutinized,” said Durbin, the majority whip “There is terrible abuse taking place today at the expense of retailers and consumers.”

The debit limits, which the Fed may decide to alter after a public comment period ends Feb. 22, will create “market forces” that benefit consumers and merchants, said Brian Dodge, a spokesman

Think Stock

The Federal Reserve’s proposal to cap debit card “swipe” fees to a flat 12 cents may steer consumers away from using their credit cards. for the Retail Industry Leaders Association.

“Merchants will do everything in their power to take advantage of these new flexibilities,” said Dodge, who represents companies including Wal-Mart Stores, Home Depot and Target. “They’ll have an opportunity to do things that they’ve never been able to do before.”

The risk may be most acute for New York-based American Express, the biggest credit-card issuer by purchases, whose fees are among the highest in the industry. AmEx, which processes transactions on its own network, charged retailers an average 2.56 percent of the purchase price in the third quarter, company documents show. AmEx doesn’t issue debit cards.

Christine Elliott, an AmEx spokeswoman, declined to comment.

One risk for merchants who try to persuade AmEx cardholders to use other payment methods is that they’ll alienate some of their highest-spending customers.

“They do so at their own peril,” said Kenneth Clayton, senior vice president of the American Bankers Association, which represents the biggest U.S. lenders. “Merchants that try to push customers in a direction they don’t want to go risk losing those customers.”

Shawn Miles, group head of global public policy at MasterCard, said there isn’t much evidence that merchants will pass along savings to consumers in the form of discounts.

“Merchants can offer discounts right now for cash, and I don’t see anyone offering a discount for cash on that $1,000 TV today,” Miles said in an interview. As for Visa, the company is confident in its “ability to compete, win and grow in the payments marketplace,” said Will Valentine, a spokesman for the San Francisco-based company.

Replica maker a model of Obama’s export strategy

By Ronald D. White

Los Angeles Times

Irfan Khan / Los Angeles Times

Rosie Gil works on a model of a plane at Pacific Miniatures, a company in Fullerton, Calif., which builds intricately detailed models of sophisticated military or commercial planes.

LOS ANGELES — Pacific Miniatures, of Fullerton, Calif., has been manufacturing precision scale model aircraft for almost 65 years. But lately, it’s become a prime example for the Obama administration’s National Export Initiative, which seeks to double U.S. exports in the next five years.

The company’s products, which also include authentic scaleddown replicas of ground vehicles and satellites, are far removed from anything a parent might buy at a hobby shop along with a tube of airplane glue. Pacific Miniature models, which range from desktop size to several feet in length, have been used by customers to unveil new aircraft designs, entice prospective buyers and commemorate billion-dollar business deals.

“Our customers include airframe manufacturers such as Boeing, Bombardier and Airbus, aircraft leasing companies and the military,” Chief Executive Fred Ouweleen said. “Sometimes, the models are as important to a deal, if not more so, than the real aircraft.”

For the Export-Import Bank of the United States, the important point is where those models are sold; Pacific Miniatures exports 30 percent of its products. The nation’s trade deficit would shrink if more U.S. businesses recognized that “95 percent of the world’s customers live outside of the U.S,” said bank Chairman Fred Hochberg, who visited Southern California recently to tour Pacific Miniatures’ operations and highlight the agency’s exporting programs.

The bank, which is the federal government’s primary export

promotion arm, authorized a record $24.5 billion in export financing for U.S. businesses for the fiscal year that ended Sept.

30. The agency’s efforts include direct loans for companies that have had difficulty getting bank financing.

A ‘guarantee’ For Pacific Miniatures, the bank’s help has come in the form of peace of mind. The company has used export credit insurance from the bank since 2005 to ensure that it gets paid.

“If our customer defaults, we would get to make an insurance claim and get reimbursed,” Ouweleen said. “So far, the ExportImport Bank has insured 30 percent of our shipments. The costs are very reasonable. We’ve never had to use it, but it’s nice to know we have it.”

Through September, the nation’s trade deficit was $379 billion, up 40 percent compared with the same period last year. Hochberg said at least part of the problem was myopia among U.S. businesses that fail to seek customers beyond U.S. shores.

“If there is one thing we can pass along,” Hochberg said, “it’s that people exaggerate the risk of exporting. ‘What if I don’t get paid?’ We wipe that off the table. I can’t guarantee this with a U.S. customer, but I can guarantee that you will be paid if you make a deal with the foreign customer.”

Although Pacific Miniatures has a strong record of exports, it isn’t exactly a typical small business: Its customers are many of the biggest names in aviation.

In October, for example, Boeing Co. contracted with Pacific Miniatures to build a 0-scale model

of its 747-400F. The teacup version of the flying freighter is now on display in Air China Cargo’s main lobby in Beijing. During the summer, Pacific Miniatures’ one-quarter-scale models of the unmanned A160T Hummingbird helicopter were displayed at the 2010 Farnborough International Air Show in England.

Ouweleen bought Pacific Miniatures in 1986. Pacific Miniatures’ models are so well-regarded by aviation buffs and collectors that they can regularly be found on eBay. In August, one of about 20 of the 1/100-scale models of the Concorde supersonic jet the company made in 2002 sold on eBay for $1,181, more than four times the original $250 price.

“I wouldn’t recommend our models as an investment,” Ouweleen quipped, “but that sure beats the stock market.”

Cadillac is reportedly studying new models

By David Welch Bloomberg News

SOUTHFIELD, Mich. — Cadillac, General Motors’s luxury brand, is studying seven new model concepts to lure new buyers and build on the fastest sales growth among premium carmakers, two people familiar with the plans said.

The brand has looked at a small sport-utility vehicle, a large flagship sedan, a subcompact car to rival BMW’s Mini Cooper, and a Cadillac version of the Chevrolet Traverse and Buick Enclave SUVs, said the people, who didn’t want to be named because the plans are private.

Cadillac is studying the models after sales rose 35 percent last year, topping all luxury automakers, led by the SRX sportutility vehicle and the CTS coupe. The brand is seeking to ease reliance on those models, which accounted for 66 percent of its deliveries, and lower the age of its average buyer from 62.

“They understand Cadillac can’t thrive as a one-car and one-SUV brand,” said Jim Hall, principal of 2953 Analytics Inc., a consulting firm in Birmingham, Mich. “They need more product to survive.”

Sedan and compact The brand is introducing two models next year, a larger XTS sedan and a compact car. Cadillac also sells the Escalade large SUV and the STS and DTS sedans, all of which have become a smaller portion of its sales.

The STS and DTS may go out of production in June of this year, according to a forecast by Lexington, Mass., research firm IHS Automotive.

Toyota’s Lexus was the U.S. luxury sales leader last year, with 229,329 deliveries, compared with Cadillac’s 146,925.

Cadillac also trails Daimler AG’s Mercedes-Benz and Volkswagen AG’s Audi, which both sell eight models or more.

Cadillac will first look to add to high-volume luxury models, then move onto more specialized categories, said Don Butler, the brand’s U.S. marketing vice president. Butler declined to comment on internal discussions about new vehicles.

“We have got to get the core

Mark Platin works on a banjo peg head in his shop near Sunriver on Thursday. After the movie “Deliverance” popularized the song “Dueling Banjos” in 1972, “banjos enjoyed this huge, huge surge,” Platin says.

“They understand Cadillac can’t thrive as a one-car and one-SUV brand. They need more product to survive.”

Andy Tullis The Bulletin

— Jim Hall, 2953 Analytics Inc. consulting firm covered with a compact, a midsized luxury car, a mid-sized crossover SUV and a large car,” Butler said in an interview.

“That’s 85 percent to 90 percent of the luxury market right there.

After that, we will look at opportunities for specialty vehicles.”

Hybrid plans dropped At last year’s Detroit auto show, then-Vice Chairman Bob Lutz said Cadillac would make a version of the Chevrolet Volt plug-in hybrid called the Converj. That plan was soon dropped, people familiar with the matter said.

Cadillac will gain sales volume with models that already are planned, Butler said. Cadillac should pick up buyers once the brand starts selling the small car that will take on the BMW 3Series and the Audi A4, he said.

The company hasn’t decided whether to make the small SUV or the subcompact, the people familiar with the matter said. The large SUV, which would use the Chevrolet Traverse’s chassis and frame, is likely to be built, one person said. The models would go on sale about the middle of the decade, the people said.

Cadillac also is revamping its marketing to attract younger, more affluent consumers. The average Cadillac buyer makes $118,000 a year, about $60,000 less than Audi and BMW customers and $73,000 less than Mercedes owners, according to data compiled by Strategic Vision Inc., a market research firm in San Diego.

The average Cadillac buyer, at 62 years old, is younger only than the average customer of Ford Motor Co.’s Lincoln brand at 64, according to Strategic Vision. The typical Audi buyer is 48 years old, and the average for BMW is 50.

Banjo Continued from G1 Many call the five-string banjo America’s instrument, according to a National Park Service educational lesson plan, but its origins reach back to Senegal, Mali and other locations in Africa.

In his “Notes on the State of Virginia,” Thomas Jefferson described the slaves at Monticello playing “the banjar, which they brought … from Africa,” according to the lesson plan, which features the Appomattox Court House National Historical Park.

The park, located in Virginia, contains the birthplace of Joel Sweeney, the first documented white banjo player, and the man called, “in essence, the Elvis Presley of the 1840s,” by author Bob Carlin in his 2007 book, “The Birth of the Banjo: Joel Walker Sweeney and Early Minstrelsy.”

Sweeney “introduced mainstream America to a music (and musical instrument) which had its roots in the transplanted black culture of the southern slave,” according to a description of the book.

Over the years, the popularity of the banjo has fluctuated along with popular culture. Platin has survived through several business cycles in his nearly 38 years of banjo making.

When the song “Dueling Banjos,” from the 1972 movie “Deliverance,” became popular, Platin

with famed guitar maker Ren Ferguson, he said, and a job at the Dobro Guitar Co. in Long Beach, Calif.

But Platin still didn’t consider instrument making as a career.

He traveled north to Arcata to attend graduate school at Humboldt State University and took a job with an instrument repair company to earn some money.

Recording artists Art Rosenbaum and John Burke bought Platin-made banjos when they traveled through town on their way to a recording session in Berkeley.

They played them on the recording and appeared with them on the album cover.

“All of a sudden, I’m in business,” Platin said. “It was never anything I thought about or wanted to do. “It was one of those tipping points that happen.”

As the business developed, he carved out his niche, he said, by recreating a tuba-phone tone ring, the metal piece on the body of the banjo, originally developed by banjo makers at The Vega Co. Today, Wildwood makes five open-back models and three bluegrass, priced online between around $1,400 to more than $3,500 depending on the model and design.

Platin, who also takes custom orders, builds the banjos out of hard maple or American black walnut and black ebony and fills the inlays with pearl and abalone.

Platin is Wildwood’s only em-

said, it emptied every store of every banjo.

“Banjos enjoyed this huge, huge surge,” he said.

The more bluegrass music caught on, the more banjos sold, and when Platin gets a call from customers seeking a long-neck banjo, the type developed for Pete Seeger, he can usually guess their age range.

“All these baby boomers cut their teeth on this early folk music (from artists like) Pete Seeger, The Weavers and the Kingston Trio,” he said. “These guys were all playing long-neck, open-back banjos.”

Platin, too, enjoys playing an open-back, or traditional, banjo, one of two main types, the other being the bluegrass banjo, which has a resonator covering the back.

The resonator reflects the sound to the front of the instrument, toward the audience, giving it more sound.

Bluegrass banjos are “meant to compete with five other instruments playing in a bluegrass band,” Platin said, where an open back, which can be played alone or accompanied by a guitar, produces a warmer, mellower sound.

It was a search for a quality open-back banjo that led Platin into making them.

He became interested in the music while taking an American ethnomusicology course at California State University, Northridge. His search for a banjo led to an informal apprenticeship

ployee, although a contractor in California he’s worked with for 20 years finishes the instruments.

Wildwood Banjos may be made in a one-man shop, but Platin uses modern manufacturing machines, such as a computerized mill, and retained some production-line features, such as separate work stations for making the rims.

Downsizing has given him time to experiment, allowing him to create what he calls the Exotic Wood series, made from African woods, wenge and bubinga. They give the banjos’ sound a different quality. None of the wood is endangered, he said.

To make them all wood, Platin replaced the ivoroid plastic edging he uses in his other banjos with wood.

“I’m at a point in my life, finally … that I can afford to play with this stuff and have some fun with it,” he said.

Platin and his wife — their children no longer live at home — have settled into life in Central Oregon. A skier and snowboarder, Platin enjoys the mountains and recreation, and he said the music community in the area is great.

“This place is incredible,” he said, “and it’s beautiful, and it’s not California.

“I can’t think of anywhere else I’d rather be.”

Nissan’s all-electric Leaf is a real-deal automobile

Worst memories of a career mechanic

By Warren Brown

Q:

Special to The Washington Post

The outside temperature was 27 degrees Fahrenheit. The air on this clear, moonlit night looked ice blue. It was the tail end of the Christmas shopping season. The stores were open late.

I could feel Mary Anne’s anxiety.

“It works in the cold?” she said.

I assured her that the 2011 Nissan Leaf SL, arguably the first all-electric car that is a bona fide, reasonably afR E V I E W fordable automobile, replete with nearly all the things American consumers have come to expect in and of automobiles, operated just fine in extreme temperatures, cold or hot.

“Heat,” Mary Anne ordered.

My wife is fond of one-word commands, the result of decades of teaching elementary-school children.

I turned on the Leaf SL’s heater, adjusting the cabin temperature to 73 degrees. Immediately, the Leaf SL’s electronic range monitor, on the panel directly behind the steering wheel, changed to indicate 65 miles of driving range, 12 miles less than a previously displayed distance of 77 miles.

Mary Anne’s nervousness increased. She suggested we turn back home, park the Leaf and take an available car with a traditional gasoline engine.

I insisted that we stay the course in the Leaf SL. “What if we run out of power?

How do we get back home?” she said.

Therein resides the promise and problem of all-electric vehicles. They make perfect sense for the kind of driving 90 percent of us do every day — round trips to work, shopping centers, school,

McClatchy-Tribune News Service

What was the most embarrassing mistake you’ve made when fixing a car? And the most difficult? I figure if you’re honest about these things, I could trust your advice more fully.

Fair enough. I’ve made plenty of screw-ups fixing cars and giving advice, so this shouldn’t be too difficult.

The one that sticks out most is the tuneup I did at about age 13 on the car belonging to my mother’s best friend. I was fairly good at removing and repairing Volkswagen engines and transmissions as they received pretty rough treatment propelling the family dune buggy, but was less experienced with other vehicle makes. The tuneup was on a Ford vehicle that used tapered seat, or gasketless, spark plugs. I didn’t realize these were fussier about installation tightness than the gasketed plugs I was familiar with. Long story short, the lady returned a few weeks later, irate, with the engine making a very loud noise and running rough, thanks to one of the spark plugs falling out. “Snug plus a little more” — Dad’s words — apparently wasn’t tight enough for this type of spark plug.

A close-contender embarrassment was shortly after beginning my first mechanic’s job in a gas station, running the shop solo. I was just out of high school and in over my head, having convinced the station owner I could fix whatever came in the door.

Hanging on by my fingernails, and under great pressure to sell more repair work from the fuel islands, I took great pride in my first big sale: a valve job, tuneup, brake job and other work on a very nice lady’s VW Beetle. After successfully completing the work, I proudly brought the re-

Nissan via The Washington Post

The 2011 Nissan Leaf SL is a real automobile, and makes sense as an everyday commuter vehicle.

2011 Nissan Leaf SL

Base price: $35,240, including $700 for an optional quick-charge port and an $820 destination fee. Please note that the recommended AeroVironment home-charge station, approximately $2,220 at this writing, is sold separately.

Type: Compact, front-wheel-drive all-electric sedan/hatchback (four side doors and a rear hatch).

Engine: There is no engine or transmission. There is, instead, a 48-module lithium-ion battery pack powering an 80-kilowatt alternating-current synchronous electric motor moving the front drive wheels. Gasolineequivalent output is 107 horsepower and 207 foot-pounds of torque.

Mileage: The Environmental Protection Agency gives the Nissan Leaf the gasoline-vehicle equivalent of 106 miles per gallon in the city and 92 miles per gallon on the highway. But those numbers are misleading. It’s best to use the miles-to-zero power range monitor when driving the Leaf. medical appointments and houses of worship. Many of those trips are 40 miles or less.

The Leaf, available as the base SV and the upgraded SL driven for this column, is the first all-electric car with a lithium-ion battery pack, much like the battery packs in laptop computers. Lithiumion batteries are lighter and hold more power than the comparably sized nickel-metal-hydride batteries used in most available electric vehicles and gas-electric hybrids.

Fully charged, the Leaf’s 48 lithium-ion battery modules, snugly located beneath the car’s floor boards, offer a 100-mile range.

Range, as indicated by the winter’s tale described herein, is affected by temperature, often negatively. The use of power-needy devices such as heaters and air conditioners has a similar effect.

But even in extreme temperatures and with power-consumption devices in use, most routine commuter round trips in a Leaf

can be completed without worry.

Fully recharging the car’s battery modules using ordinary house current — 115 to 120 volts — would take 20 hours. That means most Leaf buyers will wind up spending $2,200 to install a rapidcharge home charging station designed for Nissan by AeroVironment of Monrovia, Calif., which reduces the Leaf’s charge time to three to eight hours, depending on the charge at time of hookup.

All that might seem an unwelcome hassle to the cheap-fuelspoiled gas-and-go crowd. Allelectric cars are not appealing to, nor are they ideal for, everybody.

The Leaf, for example, is not the car for a one-car family, unless that family has a daily round-trip commuting routine of about 60 miles, or less — to allay any hint of range anxiety.

But I really like this little car. So does Mary Anne, who warmed up to it considerably after safely returning from our late winter’s night shopping trip. It’s not perfect. But it’s a darn good turn of the wheel in the right direction.

pair order and personal check to the station owner, beaming from ear to ear. He replied by launching from his chair, loudly bellowing the lady’s name, followed by, “That (expletive) has been bouncing checks here for years, and this one is ten times the size of the others!”

After receiving the returned check, I spent the next two days, without pay, camped on her door step, waiting for her to appear and asking her to make the check good. Things worked out, but I knew this job wasn’t for me.

My most difficult task was one given to me the very first day at my subsequent job as an apprentice technician at the local Chevy dealership. I was ordered to replace the engine of a huge flat-bed truck that was too large to bring inside or lift in the air. It was pouring cats and dogs, and I worked outside, alone and miserable, trying my best not to cry or quit. The truck was in terrible condition, held together with baling wire and duct tape, making the engine replacement far more of a challenge than it normally would have been.

I welded broken brackets, repaired burnt and dangling wires, renewed the engine and surfaced two days later, over time and over budget, but having produced a solid vehicle. Head down, I awaited judgment. The elderly and very gruff service dispatcher received the keys from me and grunted. Then he broke a hint of a smile and said, “OK, kid. I lost money on my bet and this job, but you’re a keeper.”
