Drug shortages grow, putting patients at risk

Over the past several months, as Bend-La Pine Schools grappled with how best to redefine middle-school boundaries, many parents became concerned about sending their children to Pilot Butte Middle School instead of Cascade Middle School.

They pointed to a private website’s middle-school rankings, lower test scores and higher

free-and-reduced lunch statistics to demonstrate what they saw as a worrisome difference between the schools. Dissatisfied parents said the process was rigged and unfair. They told district officials their kids would be at higher risk at Pilot Butte than at Cascade.

The boundary changes are complete, and like it or not some families who had expected to send their kids to Cascade next

Oh, goody! An Easter hunt

By Markian Hawryluk The Bulletin

When Bill Hunt tried earlier this year to refill his prescription for an asthma medication called Foradil, the pharmacist at Bi-Mart told him the pharmacy hadn’t received any shipments of the drug in months. Try Safeway, the pharmacist suggested, having heard someone was able to find it there.

The 42-year-old Bend man called eight additional pharmacies in the area, and nobody had any Foradil left.

“When they couldn’t get ahold of it, it was like, ‘Uh-oh, I’ve got a problem,’” Hunt said.

It turned out that the drug’s manufacturer, pharmaceutical giant Merck, was having trouble supplying the drug, reporting only that “supplies are depleted” to a national database of drug shortages. Fortunately, Hunt’s doctors were able to come up with an alternative asthma medication called Dulera.

“It works almost as well,” Hunt said. “I started using it when I got the flu. It didn’t clear things out as well as the Foradil would. When I’m feeling fine, I can’t tell any difference.”

National drug shortages The number of new drug shortages identified each year has been rising since 2007, reaching an all-time high in 2010. In most cases, however, manufacturers of the drugs did not report a reason why the medications were in short supply.

What happens when you have the right stuff at the wrong time?

Members of NASA’s astronaut corps have been asking just that, now that the space shuttle program is ending and their odds of flying anywhere good anytime soon are getting smaller.

The Endeavour is scheduled to launch this week, and the Atlantis is supposed to fly the last shuttle mission in June — and all the seats are spoken for.

“Morale is pretty low,” said Leroy Chiao, a former astronaut who now works for a company that wants to offer space flights for tourists. “This is a time of great uncertainty.”

Under President Barack Obama, NASA’s human spaceflight program has been curtailed. The Ares I and Constellation programs, which were meant to succeed the space shuttles and take astronauts to the moon, were canceled, and NASA is instead hiring outside companies to devise alternatives.

So when the Obama family heads to the Kennedy Space Center in Florida this week to sit with Gabrielle Giffords, the injured Arizona congresswoman, as she watches her husband, Capt. Mark Kelly of the Navy, take off for the International Space Station, it will be one of the last spectacles of its kind for a while. Over the next few years, U.S. astronauts will be competing for a handful of slots on the International Space Station, flying there on Russian Soyuz capsules.

Crews survey damage to a parking garage late Friday at Lambert Airport in St. Louis.

Officials surveying the damage Saturday documented damage to neighborhoods around St. Louis but seemed in awe that the tornado hadn’t seriously injured anyone.

“It almost feels like a little bit of divine intervention when you look at the devastation,” said Gov. Jay Nixon, who flew over the area

to survey the damage.

Some 750 homes in the St. Louis region were damaged, and less than 100 were uninhabitable, the governor said.

Cleanup swung into full gear Saturday. With the din of chain saws and pounding hammers in the background, homeowners sifted through wreckage, while crews scrambled to restore power to the 26,000 customers still without it.

DEBT NEGOTIATIONS

Biden emerges to lead deficit talks with Obama’s ‘full accord’

By Kate Andersen Brower Bloomberg News

WASHINGTON — Vice President Joe Biden might have struggled to stay awake when President Barack Obama spoke about his debt-reduction plan.

Still, when Obama needed someone to forge a deal with Congress, he summoned his second-in-command.

For Biden — who appeared to nod off for about 30 seconds during Obama’s April 13 speech on fiscal policy — the assignment to lead the debt talks with lawmakers was further evidence of how the president depends on him, especially when it comes to dealing with an increasingly hostile Congress.

Biden, who directed the White House campaign to reach an accord on this year’s budget and avoid a government shutdown, will now head negotiations between Republican and Democratic lawmakers to come up with a plan by the end of June for comprehensive debt reduction.

He has also been tapped to find votes in Congress to raise the U.S. debt limit, according to an administration official who asked for anonymity.

“He can do things; he has the president’s full accord,” Alan Simpson, co-chairman of the president’s debt commission, told reporters after an April 14 White House meeting with Obama, Biden and Erskine Bowles, the debt panel’s other leader.

Simpson, a former Republican senator from Wyoming, said one of the best decisions Obama made was asking Biden to be the “point person” on the deficit discussions.

Biden may be better known for his gaffes than his policy advice.

In March 2010, he audibly whispered an expletive in Obama’s ear at the signing of the healthcare law. During the 2008 election campaign, he introduced Obama to a crowd as “Barack America” and at a rally urged a wheelchair-bound Missouri legislator to “stand up” and take a bow.

His supporters insist that those who work with Biden, 68, take him seriously.

“Thinking people, the people you have to deal with in order to make the kind of things he’s made happen, they don’t think that Joe Biden’s a gaffe machine,” said longtime friend Ted Kaufman, who was appointed to Biden’s Senate seat from Delaware after the 2008 election. “Mitch McConnell doesn’t underestimate him.”

That’s what Obama is counting on in naming Biden to oversee the discussions on deficit reduction.

House and Senate leaders from both parties will pick members from their caucuses to take part in the talks, and Biden will host the first meeting with lawmakers on May 5 at Blair House.

In his April 13 speech Obama according to another person faoutlined his plan to reduce the miliar with the talks.

Iraqi Christians remain besieged at Easter McClatchy-Tribune News Service BAGHDAD — Iraqi Christians marked a restrained Easter weekend as fear of attacks kept many from openly celebrating their most sacred day of the year, and church officials urged them not to give up on the country.

At Our Lady of Salvation, where gunmen and suicide bombers killed 52 worshippers and guards last October, the church was tightly locked, guarded by Iraqi police who said the doors would be opened only moments before the Saturday evening mass.

“It’s more like a museum than a church,” said one of the police officers. He said they tried to

keep out those who were simply curious or, he implied, there to gather intelligence.

Only the arch and cross on the church roof were visible behind 10-foot high concrete walls like others that have turned most churches in Baghdad into miniature fortresses.

“Our churches have become like prisons,” says Monsignor Pious Casha, who arrived at Our Lady of Salvation during the siege moments after Iraqi special forces stormed the church. “The barbed wire and concrete are new. Yes, they protect the churches, but they make the worshippers spiritually constrained.”

Libyan rebels claim victory in besieged western city

Among royal wedding guests, Bahraini prince accused of brutal tactics

By Simon Denyer

LONDON — David Beckham, Elton John and Mr. Bean actor Rowan Atkinson will mingle with dozens of royal guests at Prince William and Kate Middleton’s wedding, according to an official guest list released Saturday that includes one uncomfortable presence — the Bahraini crown prince accused of a brutal crackdown on protesters.

St. James’s Palace also released the seating plan at Westminster Abbey, which showed that relatives of William’s mother Princess Diana are sitting across the aisle from the royal family, joining the Middletons in an exception to the traditional division of a church into a bride’s side and groom’s side.

There was no explanation of the seating arrangement, but the Spencers have not had a good relationship with the royal family, especially after Diana’s brother Charles Spencer attacked the royals during a speech at her 1997 funeral.

More than 46 foreign royals are seated behind the British royals. They include Bahrain’s Crown Prince Salman bin Hamad Al Khalifa, an invitation that could prove awkward in light of his government’s rough treatment of mainly Shiite prodemocracy protesters.

Some human rights campaigners have started to petition Foreign Secretary William Hague to revoke the invitation, saying the prince should not be allowed to attend the occasion.

At least 30 people have died in Bahrain since mid-February,

MISRATA, Libya — Libyan rebels said they had flushed more government soldiers from the besieged western city of Misrata on Saturday, consolidating their control after another day of heavy fighting marked by the first strike

by U.S.-armed Predator drones.

“We are winning. All of (Moammar Gadhafi’s) tanks and weapons have been seized inside Misrata,” said Mohamed Ali, a spokesman for the rebel city council.

Ali said he had earlier witnessed what appeared to have been the first Predator drone attack of the conflict, on the vegetable market on Tripoli Street, the main threemile avenue that divides the city, where a few of Gadhafi’s troops were still holed up and attacking.

NATO said a U.S. Predator drone destroyed a multiple-rocket launcher Saturday in the Misrata area that was being used against civilians. The Pentagon said an unmanned aircraft had carried out a strike Saturday, the first since the drones began flying missions in Libya on Thursday but did not say where.

Ali said there had also been a large NATO airstrike on a base used by Gadhafi’s troops at the African Souk, or market, south of the city, which appeared to have inflicted significant damage.

But even as some rebels claimed victory in the battle for Misrata, Ali said it was too early to celebrate, after a day in which 22 people died on the rebel side of the front line and 65 were wounded. “We lost too many people to celebrate anything,” he said.

At least 400 people have been killed in the city during the siege, according to doctors, and more than 1,000 are presumed dead.

Deputy Foreign Minister Khaled Kaim announced late Friday that Libya’s army had been unable to pacify Misrata because of NATO’s airstrikes and said it would now leave the job to local tribes who support Gadhafi and who, he said, are angry that their access to the port is being blocked by the rebels.

But rebels in Misrata said the government’s announcement seemed intended to mask the “collapse” of Gadhafi’s forces in the key western city, 131 miles east of Tripoli.

“Gadhafi’s forces ... know they have failed,” Ali said. “I think (Gadhafi) is trying to disguise his loss.”

Shelling of Misrata continued Saturday from government forces stationed south and southwest of the city. In the center, rebels were combing the city and clearing the streets, but they said that before leaving, Gadhafi’s forces had booby-trapped bodies, houses and cars.

U.S. yet to decide on arming rebels, envoy to U.N. says The U.S. is weighing “very carefully and deliberately” whether to provide weapons to rebels in Libya who have been fighting forces loyal to Moammar Gadhafi since February, Susan Rice, the ambassador to the United Nations, said.

Rice, in an interview on Bloomberg Television’s “Political Capitol with Al Hunt,” said the Obama administration for now is pursuing other measures to remove the Libyan leader from power, including further enforcing an arms embargo on the Gadhafi regime, and giving the rebels political and economic support.

“With the weapons that they have, the rebels are holding on,” Rice said Friday, referring to firefights in the besieged city of Misrata.

“It is natural and to be expected that it is going to take some time for them to be constituted into an effective fighting force.”

Rice’s interview, airing this weekend, came as Arizona Sen. John McCain, a Republican, said the U.S. and its allies must act to give the rebels greater financial and military support.

Syrian security forces fired on tens of thousands of mourners during funeral processions Saturday, killing several people.

More violence in Syria as mourners are fired on

By Anthony Shadid New York Times News Service

BEIRUT — Syrian security forces fired their weapons into crowds of mourners in at least three towns Saturday, as tens of thousands of people buried protesters who were killed a day earlier in the worst bloodshed since the Syrian uprising began last month. Human rights activists and witnesses said at least 11 people were killed on Saturday.

The death toll from the protests on Friday, one of the bloodiest days in the so-called Arab Spring, had risen by Saturday to 109 people, a number that activists said was likely to rise as more bodies were returned to their families. Another group said 114 people had been killed.

The government of President Bashar Assad has struggled to cope with the unrest, offering concessions that would have been startling at one time, while using violence against those who persist in demonstrations.

Though the revolt has drawn large numbers into the streets since it started on March 15, it has yet to achieve the critical mass of revolutions in Tunisia and Egypt. However, organizers say they believe the bloodshed may draw more people into the uprising’s fold.

Wissam Tarif, the executive director of Insan, a human rights group, said security forces fired live ammunition at mourners after they buried their dead. The funerals soon became protests, with calls for the fall of Assad,

who inherited power from his father, Hafez, in 2000. Such demands, uttered publicly, were once unheard of and serve as a marker of the degree to which outrage is overcoming fear in the repressive state.

Tarif said 11 people were killed in towns on the outskirts of Damascus, where some of the worst bloodshed was reported Friday: Douma, Barza, Maadamiah and Qabon. Others were reported killed in Azra, but activists had yet to confirm their names.

In Barza, a witness who wished to remain anonymous for fear of reprisal said that at least 1,000 mourners came under fire as they prepared to bury four men and two children, one 7 years old and the other 14.

including four who died while in official custody, and many wellknown activists and lawyers have been imprisoned.

Other foreign royals who are attending include those from Denmark, Norway, Spain, Saudi Arabia, Thailand and Morocco.

Only a handful of celebrities are invited, including the Beckhams, director Guy Ritchie, soul singer Joss Stone and Atkinson — a close friend of William’s father Prince Charles.

Although about 1,900 guests have been invited to the couple’s wedding ceremony at Westminster Abbey, half of them will sit in the section of the abbey where views of the altar are restricted, and they will have to rely upon video screens to follow the service.

Queen Elizabeth II and other royal family members will sit in the front row across the aisle from Middleton’s parents and brother James. They will be closest to the abbey’s sanctuary, where William and his bride will stand.

Foreign dignitaries, the Middletons’ family friends, British government and defense officials, families of British soldiers killed in Iraq and Afghanistan, William’s army colleagues, and people who work for William’s charities will be seated around the abbey.

Palace officials said that only crowned heads of states are traditionally invited to royal weddings, and that political leaders who are not from the 54-member Commonwealth of nations, such as President Barack Obama or French President Nicolas Sarkozy, weren’t sent invitations.

Exiles are shaping the world’s image of the Syrian revolt

By Anthony Shadid New York Times News Service

BEIRUT — On the bloodiest day of Syria’s uprising, Rami Nakhle’s fingers glided over the keyboard in a room silent save the news bulletins of Al-Jazeera but filled with the commotion on his computer screen.

As the events unfolded Friday, user names flashed and then faded on his screen. Twitter flickered with agitprop and trash talk. And Facebook glided past Gmail, Skype and a Google map, as Nakhle joined a coterie of Syrian expatriates, in exile like him, in fomenting, reporting and, most remarkably perhaps, even shaping the greatest challenge to four decades of the Assad family’s rule in Syria.

“Can you hear it?” Nakhle cried, as downloaded video captured protesters in the port of Banias calling for the government’s fall. “This is Syria, man!

Unbelievable.”

Unlike revolts in Egypt, Tunisia and even Libya, televised as they have been to the world, Syria’s revolt is distinguished by the power of a self-styled vanguard abroad to ferry out images and news that are anarchic and illuminating, if admittedly incomplete.

For weeks now, the small number of activists, spanning the Middle East, Europe and the U.S., have coordinated across every time zone except Hawaii and managed to smuggle hundreds of satellite and mobile phones, modems, laptops and cameras into Syria. There, compatriots elude surveillance with e-mailed software and upload five-minute videos overnight on dial-up connections.

Their work has ensured what was once impossible.

In 1982, Syria’s government managed to hide, for a time, its massacre of at least 10,000 people in the city of Hama in a brutal crackdown on an Islamist revolt. But on Saturday, the world could witness, in almost real time, the chants of anger and cries for the fallen as mourners around the country buried pro-

testers shot down by security forces the day before — and as Syrian forces renewed their violent crackdown, firing into the grieving crowds in several towns.

They have staggered the government of President Bashar Assad, forcing it to face the reality that it has almost entirely ceded the narrative of the revolt to its opponents at home and abroad.

The very essence of that narrative is contested, though. Few question the breadth of the uprising, though they differ on its depth. Cyberactivists abroad fashion slogans of national unity for a revolt that the government insists is inspired by militant Islamists. The voices of protesters smuggled abroad have drowned out the sentiments of the president’s supporters — from a prosperous elite to frightened minorities of Christians and others.

“The government’s paranoid style has become obvious,” said Joshua Landis, a professor of Middle East studies at the University of Oklahoma. “These activists have completely flipped the balance of power on the regime, and that’s all due to social media.”

Nakhle is part of a network that literally spans the globe, from a Syrian-American woman in Chicago who said she grew tired of simply watching Al-Jazeera to Ausama Monajed, a Damascus-born activist in London who drives with his Internet-enabled laptop open in the passenger seat, running speech-to-text software, and an iPhone merged with car speakers so he can stream broadcasts of Arab satellite networks.

Monajed estimates that just 18-20 people are engaged in helping coordinate and cover protests full time, though he boasts that he can find someone in his broader community to translate English to French at 4 a.m. and edit video in Arabic at 5 p.m. He has a contact in every Syrian province, who in turn have their networks of 10 people.

Once unthinkable, threat of default looms over U.S.

REVISITING THE SCENE OF A DISASTER

Haitians forced out of tents to homes just as precarious

By Randal C. Archibold New York Times News Service

PORT-AU-PRINCE, Haiti — The way Robert Darvin sees it, he is one of the lucky ones.

After being evicted from a tent camp a few months ago, he, his wife and their three children crammed into a rebuilt home the size of a small U-Haul trailer.

But at least a roof shelters their heads, even if a flimsy one that allows the rain to pour through.

“It is made of cheap cement,” Darvin said, pointing to fresh cracks in the walls. He sounded at once relieved at having found a place and fretful over what another earthquake or hurricane might do to it. “If you think too much about it, you lose your mind.”

More than half of the Haitians driven into tent cities and makeshift camps by the January 2010 earthquake have moved out of them, officially bringing down the displaced population to 680,000 from a peak of 1.5 million, according to the International Organization for Migration.

But what may seem like a clear sign of progress, officials warn, is also a cause of concern.

Very few of the people who left the camps — only 4.7 percent, by the group’s estimate — did so because their homes had been rebuilt or repaired. Instead, a vast majority appear to have been forced out through mass evic-

Marie Lucie Merigene, 15, hangs laundry in front of the plywood home she shares with her family in the Carrefour neighborhood of Port-au-Prince, Haiti.

Now, most of the former camp dwellers are doubled up in their friends’ or families’ homes, scattered at random in tents and improvised dwellings, or living in “precarious housing” that is dilapidated, damaged or partly collapsed, the organization says.

In some cases, the cinder blocks that were toppled by the quake are being cobbled together to

make walls again, only more unevenly and wobbly than before.

Only about 37 percent of the more than $5 billion pledged last year by foreign governments and international agencies has been disbursed to the Haitian government, the Haiti reconstruction fund, nongovernmental organizations or other entities, according to the United Nations.

Diplomats have complained of red tape in Haiti and the uncertain outcome of last year’s chaotic presidential election, which

was finally resolved when a popular singer, Michel Martelly, prevailed in a runoff in March.

He takes office in May and has pledged to speed things up.

Hundreds of camps have disappeared entirely; there are 1,061 now, down from a peak of 1,555 in July.

One of the more striking examples — a jumble of more than 300 tents and lean-tos perched precariously along the thin median of a six-lane road — was dismantled in January after officials found space nearby for transition shelters housing 180 families.

The plywood shelters, painted in a kaleidoscope of pastels in an industrial zone, are meant to be temporary, lasting three to five years. More than 100,000 such transition shelters were to be built in Haiti, but less than half of them have been finished, hung up largely by the slow pace of removing the rubble that still lines many streets, and by the difficulties in finding land and financing.

But even in this step up from a tent, residents do not rest easy.

“We have been relocated, yes, but the situation is the same,” said Michellange Bourdeau, 38.

“In the middle of the road, others could see us. But where we are now, no one can see us and come to help. We are the forgotten.”

U.S. ’veterans court’ weighed down by backlog

By Jerry Markon The Washington Post

WASHINGTON — In a cramped office building in Washington, sandwiched between a deli and a day care, a littleknown appeals court for veterans is struggling to work its way through hundreds of backlogged cases.

The court, created two decades ago to weigh disability claims rejected by the Department of Vet-

erans Affairs, is by many measures the nation’s busiest federal appellate court — and a symbol of the accumulating toll of prolonged war, both on soldiers and the bureaucracies created to serve them.

The caseload at the U.S. Court of Appeals for Veterans Claims has doubled in recent years, with the court deciding more than 600 cases per judge each year — far more than other federal appellate

courts. Judges are working nights and weekends but say they still have difficulty keeping pace.

Veterans whose claims had already spent years in the VA system often wait several more years for the court to rule on whether they will receive disability payments and free health care. Some have abandoned their appeals.

Others, including soldiers from as far back as World War II, have died before a decision was issued.

N B Skywalk’s grand views dragged low by suit GRAND CANYON WEST, Ariz. — Think of a Caribbean glass-bottomed boat hung out over the edge of the Grand Canyon and you have the idea behind the Skywalk, a modern, vertigoinducing moneymaker that is drawing hundreds of thousands of people annually onto the Hualapai Indians’ reservation to stare down beneath their feet at the distant canyon floor.

The Hualapai teamed up with a tour operator named David Jin in 2003 to create the Skywalk, which extends 70 feet beyond the canyon rim and provides unmatched views.

Before the Skywalk opened in 2007, 150,000 visitors in a good year would peer over the canyon

edge on Hualapai land or raft down the tribe’s portion of the Colorado. Last year, the number had more than quadrupled.

In exchange for the $30 million that Jin spent to build the Skywalk, he was to get a portion of the Skywalk profits over 25 years and a cut-rate price for the many tourists he brings to the site. He accuses the Hualapai of shortchanging him and has gone to court to press the matter.

The Hualapai accuse him of not fulfilling his end of the bargain by leaving ancillary parts of the project unfinished.

Pastor charged in gay custody case Federal authorities last week arrested and charged a Tennessee pastor with aiding in the

One veteran’s case lasted 14 years, seven at the appellate court, which considered three appeals in a repeating cycle lawyers dub “the hamster wheel.”

At least part of the blame, say advocates for the nation’s 23 million veterans, rests with the Obama administration, which has made veterans a priority yet has not submitted nominations to fill the court’s bench, where three of the nine seats are vacant.

Visitors can pay up to $73 to edge out onto the Skywalk and look down into the Grand Canyon.

“international parental kidnapping” of a girl who has been missing since late 2009 and is at the center of a lengthy custody battle between her two mothers — a onetime lesbian couple in a civil union who had a bitter falling-out after one became an evangelical Christian.

Lisa Miller, the girl’s biological mother and a newly fervent Baptist, was championed by conservatives for her efforts to shield her daughter from homosexuality. A Vermont court had granted her primary custody of the daughter, Isabella Ruth Mill-

er-Jenkins, after Miller split with her partner, Janet Jenkins, in 2003. But the court also declared Jenkins to be a legal parent with liberal visiting rights, and Miller, who had moved with the girl to Virginia, defied repeated orders to permit the visits.

The case took a turn in late 2009, as the Vermont family court, citing Miller’s noncompliance, shifted primary custody to Jenkins. Miller and Isabella, who is 9, disappeared. A warrant was issued for Miller’s arrest, and they have not been heard from since.

— From wire reports

WASHINGTON — The United States has never defaulted on its debt, and Democrats and Republicans say they don’t want it to happen now. But with partisan acrimony running at fever pitch, and Democrats and Republicans so far apart on how to tame the deficit, the unthinkable is suddenly being pondered.

The government now borrows about 42 cents of every dollar it spends. Imagine that one day soon, the borrowing slams up against the current debt limit ceiling of $14.3 trillion, and Congress fails to raise it. The damage would ripple across the entire economy, eventually affecting nearly every American, and rocking global markets in the process.

A default would come if the government actually failed to fulfill a financial obligation, including repaying a loan or interest on that loan. The government borrows mostly by selling bonds to individuals and governments, with a promise to pay back the amount of the bond in a certain time period and agreeing to pay regular interest on that bond in the meantime.

Among the first directly affected would likely be moneymarket funds holding government securities, banks that buy bonds directly from the Federal Reserve and resell them to consumers, including pension and

Gang Continued from A1 As months have gone by, the widely differing viewpoints of the senators — three Republicans, three Democrats — may have begun to meld.

“He has convinced me,” Durbin said recently. “This is serious, and if we don’t do something, and do it quickly, bad things can happen, in a hurry.”

Amid the earsplitting and hyper-partisan debate over debt, spending and deficits, the Gang of Six has been toiling quietly, aiming to present lawmakers next month with a middle course.

The group is working the way Washington had long been known to operate: a small collection of would-be dealmakers engaging in the political giveand-take necessary to craft an agreement with broad bipartisan appeal. But the rise of political polarization in recent years has made rare what was once routine legislative horse-trading. The six stand as something of an anomaly in today’s Washington. They might also represent the Capitol’s best hope for resolving one of the nation’s biggest long-term problems.

For now, the group’s deliberations are largely secret. But its proposals are expected to include changes in the government’s most costly programs — defense, the health care safety net and Social Security — as well as the closure of tax loopholes.

Members of the group say they do not expect their recommendations to calm the deficit debate, which got louder with President Barack Obama’s unveiling of his own plan and House approval of a GOP proposal that would dramatically change Medicare.

“Let me assure you, we’re going to make everybody mad with our approach — Democrats, Republicans, independents — because we’re touching every part of the problem,” one of the six, Sen. Mark Warner, D-Va., said in a recent CBS interview.

But the six senators do hope that over time, Congress may follow their approach. They have steered clear of public squabbling, even while each side bends the other to its point of view. The Democrats have accepted the need for spending cuts and reforms in entitlement programs. The Republicans have agreed that changes in tax policy must be included.

Already, the group’s three Republicans — Coburn, Sen. Saxby Chambliss of Georgia and Sen. Michael D. Crapo of Idaho — have endured barbs from their party’s conservative flank.

Grover Norquist, an anti-tax activist and head of Americans for Tax Reform, warned

mutual funds; and the foreign investor community, which holds nearly half of all Treasury securities.

If the U.S. starts missing interest or principal payments, borrowers would demand higher and higher rates on new bonds, as they did with Greece, Portugal and other heavily indebted nations. Who wants to keep loaning money to a deadbeat nation that can’t pay its bills?

At some point, the government would have to slash spending in other areas to make room for any further sales of Treasury bills and bonds. That could squeeze payments to federal contractors, and eventually even affect Social Security and other government benefit payments, as well as federal workers’ paychecks.

A default would likely trigger another financial panic like the one in 2008 and plunge an economy still reeling from high joblessness and a battered housing market back into recession.

Federal Reserve Chairman Ben Bernanke calls failure to raise the debt limit “a recovery-ending event.” U.S. stock markets would likely tank — devastating roughly half of U.S. households that own stocks, either individually or through 401(k) type retirement programs.

Eventually, the cost of most credit would rise — from business and consumer loans to home mortgages, auto financing and credit cards.

in a stern letter that support of a deal that included tax policy changes “would most likely be a violation of your Taxpayer Protection Pledge.” The pledge is a commitment his group asks Republicans to sign when they run for office.

But the three GOP senators said they would not be subdued.

“Our pledge is to protect taxpayers, not special interests,” Coburn, Chambliss and Crapo replied. “To do so, we must analyze every aspect of the federal budget, including the tax code.”

At the same time, the political left has taken shots at the three Democrats — Durbin, Warner and Sen. Kent Conrad of North Dakota.

Senate Democratic leader Harry Reid of Nevada has insisted that no changes to Social Security be on the table. The group apparently has ignored that plea, saying every facet of the deficit problem must be examined.

“Our hope and prayer is that then the people of goodwill from both parties will basically check their Democrat hat and check their Republican hat and say, ‘Let’s take this on,’” Warner said.

As the debate heated up recently, the six sequestered themselves for hours. They work without a chairman, away from the sting of their “tea party” and liberal wings, as they push toward an agreement.

Together, they constitute a representative swath of the Senate: Warner is a millionaire former telecommunications executive and one-time Virginia governor, now part of a new generation of senators. Brokering this deal could make the moderate Democrat a rising star.

Warner and Chambliss launched the Gang of Six, and they have visited each other’s states as they’ve taken their ideas on the road. Chambliss is friends with House Speaker John Boehner, R-Ohio, and his role as a member of the gang comes after years of criticism from Democrats for his 2002 campaign to oust former Democratic Sen. Max Cleland, in which he questioned whether the incumbent, a Vietnam War veteran and triple amputee, was committed to national security.

Durbin is among the group’s more liberal members. His work in the Gang of Six has reinforced his position as a party leader after being overshadowed at times by Sen. Charles Schumer of New York, the No. 3 Democrat.

Coburn, the sometimes prickly conservative known to colleagues as “Dr. No,” has little to lose: He has said this is his final term in the Senate. The same goes for Conrad, the fiscal guru and chairman of the Senate Budget Committee. Crapo is trusted

by Senate conservatives.

PLASTIC SURGERY QUESTION: I am interested in liposuction. Is ‘smart lipo’/laser lipo better than traditional liposuction? What credentials should I be looking for in my doctor if I was interested in this procedure?

ANSWER: Both of these types of liposuction utilize a special vacuum machine to remove fat. One utilizes a laser to help break up the fat and is followed by Adam Angeles, liposuction. No independent randomized controlled M.D. trials exist to show that one method is better than the other. The essential consideration in deciding who should do liposuction on your body is the surgeon doing the procedure, their experience and training. Companies who sell the laser liposuction machines are selling them to anyone who will pay for them. Consequently, many people doing these procedures have little to no surgical experience.

There are always risks to the procedure. Unless you are having a very small area liposuctioned, you should have it done in a certified facility. A well trained experienced surgeon is equipped to handle any unforseen problems, and they are forbidden by their society from doing this type of surgery in anything but a certified facility. Ask what their experience is and their training with this technique.

ANSWER: It is true that having an upper denture will decrease your ability to taste your food.

Covering of the palate will also have a negative impact on your olfactory senses as well, meaning you will not smell your food as well either.

With a decrease in taste and smell it is impossible to enjoy your food as much as before.

I’ve tried heartburn medications which help sometimes, but what can I do to prevent this problem?

grandparents, uncles & aunts have all had heart problems as early as their 40’s. I am a healthy person, exercise & eat well. Should I be worried enough to get a heart scan or am I too young? I am a 38 year old female. tomography scans show plaque within the coronary arteries. Recently, these tests have come Kevin Reuter, down markedly in price ($99.00 at St. Charles M.D. Medical Center) and they are quick and easy to complete. They are accurate and well-validated for diagnosing heart disease. In your situation, you really only have one risk factor for heart disease, that being family history. However, we know that genetics plays a large role in predicting individual disease burden and you would benefit, in my opinion, by having the test done. Even if your scan is completely negative, you still need to see your doctor at least yearly for annual exams and blood work as a negative EBT does not mean that you won’t develop heart disease in the future.

You will need yearly fasting blood work to check cholesterol and you will need to keep your blood pressure under tight control to help minimize your chance of heart attack and stroke. Maintaining a diet low in saturated fat and exercise are also very important for your cardiovascular health.

The good news is that technology now allows us to remove the palate from a denture. The placement of four to six implants can allow us to attach a denture to implants eliminating the need for a palate. The result is improved taste, smell and retention. It used to be that implants and a denture without a palate were out of reach for most people, but fortunately things change and it is now a possibility for everybody.

QUESTION: I have an upper denture and I hate it. I feel like I cant taste my food as well and it makes me gag.

Is there anything that can be done to improve this?

Gagging due to an upper denture is also a common problem.

ANSWER: Stress in our culture does not lend itself to good eating and digestion habits. Many ads on TV actually encourage us to “eat on the go”. From a Naturopathic perspective, heartKerie Raymond, burn may be due to not enough hydrochloric N.D. acid (HCl) in the stomach, as opposed to too much, which leaves food undigested in the stomach, leading to heartburn or GERD. A simple trial of HCl can help evaluate this.

Meanwhile, here are some simple rules for eating: Sit down and focus on eating without distractions. Chew your food well. Don’t drink water while eating, especially ice water (this dilutes the gastric acid). Don’t exercise or lay down after eating. Don’t eat late in the evening.

ANSWER: Although your child certainly has plenty

Dr. Neil Wiater Orthodontist

The American Association of Orthodontists recommends a child get an evaluation from an Orthodontist around this time. A single panoramic x-ray, often provided as a courtesy in an initial visit, will reveal any missing or extra teeth.

The size, shape and timing of tooth development is obvious and the orthodontist can often predict how your child’s smile will develop over the next several years.

Often simple intervention can reshape and expand the dental arches making room for the teeth. Harmful habits can be broken. Simple treatment delivered at the right time can help avoid a complex problem from getting worse. Early evaluation makes that possible. Then again, you might just hear “looks great, come back and see us at about age 12.”

discharged, she’s going to need help at home. What are my choices?

many treatments will I need?

ANSWER: Electrolysis is a process whereby a tiny pre-sterilized, disposable probe is inserted into the hair follicle. The skin is not punctured or harmed.

During the treatment a slight amount of current is then applied through the probe coagulating the tissue in the follicle and the papilla, the hair’s blood supply, Tana Anderson which nourishes that hair. The dermal papilla at the Licensed bottom of each hair must be completely deactivated Electrologist so it can no longer sustain nourishment to the hair root. This process can be done on anyone no matter what skin tone, size of hair, color of hair, man, woman or child and even pregnant women.

An electrolysis program must be tailored to meet each individual client’s needs. Certain factors determine the number and length of each treatment, such as the number of hair follicles contained in the area of treatment, the sensitivity of the skin and previous methods of hair removal. If a client has been tweezing once a day or once a week, I would start them out coming once a week. if you tweeze a hair today, that hair will not be back in for about 6-8 weeks. That surprises most people because they think they are tweezing the same hair everyday.

That is why each client is set up on their own schedule to permanently eliminate unwanted hair.

ANSWER: Having surgery or being in the hospital

ANSWER: Yes – Posture makes a big difference on how your muscles feel.

Firstly, if the head is held forward of the torso, the neck and upper back muscles have to work hard to hold the head up. Try holding a bowling ball in your hand, with the arm stretched forward, and you will get an idea of the forces involved. This muscle activity causes fatigue and discomfort.

Zeyla Brandt, PT

Secondly, the position the neck ends up in when this position is held causes pinching of the little joints at the top of the neck.

This can ultimately lead to headaches and neck pain!

Thirdly, when one stands erect, the center of gravity is between the feet. If the head is held forward, the center of gravity is shifted ahead of the feet, and can result in a stumbling gait to try to maintain balance, as well as helping you correct problems you may already have.

QUESTION: I have never had acupuncture and am interested in trying it. Do I need to have a specific complaint in order to come in for an acupuncture treatment?

Answer: That is a great question, and the answer is absolutely not. Acupuncture is a wonderful way to support the body, relieve stress, promote relaxation, and keep the body healthy and balanced so illness does not manifest. Acupuncture supports Kym Garrett, the body’s innate desire to live in a state of L.Ac. homeostasis, or natural balance. Unfortunately, in our daily lives we often encounter both physical and emotional stressers and are exposed flu and cold virus’ that can bring our bodies out of balance, often resulting in illness. A simple acupuncture treatment can help our body to return to its natural state of balance and restore health. Acupuncture is naturally calming to the nervous system and therefore can promote a deep sense of relaxation, more restful sleep, and improved energy. Many first-time patients become regular patients once they realize how much healthier and more vibrant they feel with consistent acupuncture treatment. You do not need to get acupuncture on a weekly basis to experience its benefits.

Many patients come in every couple of weeks to every couple of months for a “tune-up” as we call it. Acupuncture is one of the few ways we can proactively treat our bodies in an effort to keep it healthy and balanced, therefore hopefully avoiding any future illness.

ELECTROLYSIS BY TANA ANDERSON www.electrolysisbytana.com

L A S E R H A I R R E M O VA L QUESTION: How does Laser Hair Removal work, and what is the difference between Lasers and Electrolysis?

A NSWER : Lasers are attracted to the melanin in the hair. The darker the hair, the easier the attraction. There are three different stages of hair growth that the body produces, Anagen, Telogen and Catagen stages. These three stages grow in cycles of approximately two week intervals, which creates a six week cycle of hair growth.

This is the reason that repeated treatments are necessary Ashley Chandler, to receive reduction in hair growth. Lasers are able to Aesthetician cover a very large area in a very short period of time, which is one of the main differences between Laser Hair Removal and Electrolysis. For example, Lasers will clear the underarm area in fifteen minutes, where it can take many hours for Electrolysis to clear the area.

Another main advantage of Laser Hair Removal is the comfort level for the client. Many clients are much more tolerant of Lasers than the needle method of Electrolysis. Another reason most clients choose Laser Hair Removal is because it is a faster form of hair removal, and ultimately less expensive.

Electrolysis does have its advantages too. Because Lasers are attracted to the Melanin in the Hair, lighter color hair (gray, white) are not as effective with Lasers. The darker the hair color, the more effective when it comes to Laser Hair Removal. Clients with lighter hair color, is when we recommend Electrolysis.

At The Enhancement Center we have been performing Laser Hair Removal to our clients for over eight years and are all Certified and trained Technicians.

Currently we are offering an introductory fifty percent off a Laser Hair Removal treatment. Please go to our website at www.enhancementcenterspa.com for details.

ANSWER: While nothing replaces the formal consultation, women and men Michael E. Villano, entering their forties usually show M.D. signs of midfacial descent, i.e. their cheeks start to sag. This is caused partly by gravity changes to the middle portion of the face and to a lesser degree, volume loss in the face.

Nonsurgical options include volume replacement which subjectively has shown to “lift” the midface slightly. This tends to work well with mild cases and can be performed by a variety of fillers. In more advanced stages, the endoscopic facelift, a surgical procedure, will restore the midface to a more youthful appearance.

MONTERREY, Mexico — The mayor of a Mexican town who survived two drug cartel assassination attempts has gotten his own “corrido,” a genre of Mexican folk song that in recent years has been more devoted to glorifying the exploits of drug traffickers than public servants.

But in a Mexico desperate for heroes, plain-talking Mayor Jaime Rodriguez Calderon seems made to order: The song dedicated to him is called “El Bronco,” or “The Unbroken One.” “I’m not one of these politicians who hides what they think.

I’m facing things that require you to have a strong character,” said the mayor of the town of Garcia, a suburb of the northern industrial hub of Monterrey.

The town of 50,000 is surrounded by mountains and ravaged by violence because two former allies — the Gulf and Zetas cartels — now fight a bloody turf war over the smuggling routes to the U.S. Rodriguez Calderon, who has the fit, stocky, no-nonsense bearing of the horseman he is, talks about his struggle against the cartels since he took office 18 months ago.

“I fired all the police, and then I began to close the businesses the cartels ran to finance themselves,” he told The Associated Press. “I began to impose order on the city ... and that got this gang angry, and they reacted.”

Unbroken, but not without feeling: He sometimes tears up, as he did when he attended the funeral of a 26-year-old bodyguard killed in the latest attack against him, a carefully planned assault in March in which about 40 gunmen in 15 vehicles opened fire on the mayor’s bulletproof SUV during a 20-minute shootout.

The young bodyguard is mentioned in the mayor’s “corrido” as “a loyal bodyguard and a great ally.”

“When I heard it (the song), I had conflicting feelings, because it suddenly made me remember an event that one wants to forget,” Rodriguez Calderon said.

But the song also gives him a boost, he said. “It pushes me to keep going.”

Rodriguez Calderon escaped unharmed from a similar attack Feb. 25. Three gunmen were killed that day in a shootout with his bodyguards.

A spokesman for public security in Nuevo Leon, the state where Garcia is located, agreed that Rodriguez Calderon’s police cleanup made him a target.

The spokesman, who requested anonymity because he was not authorized to speak on the subject, said it is common practice for public figures in Nuevo Leon, including police chiefs, mayors and the state governor, to use bulletproof vehicles and employ security detachments.

In a country where the violence seems endless — more than 34,000 people were killed in the first years of Mexico’s drug war — Rodrigo Garcia, the songwriter, found the mayor’s story “interesting and inspirational.”

“Here is a person who didn’t back down, who didn’t run,” Garcia said.

Socioeconomic differences The most marked difference between the schools is just that: socioeconomic status.

In March, about 29 percent of students at Cascade Middle School were signed up for freeand-reduced lunch, while 74 percent of Pilot Butte students were signed up for the federal program. The vast majority of both schools’ free-and-reduced lunch students are eligible for free lunch, meaning a fourperson family earned $28,665 per year or less. At Cascade, 85 percent of all eligible students get free lunch, as do 91 percent of those at Pilot Butte.

In the coming years, district officials expect boundary changes will drop Cascade’s impoverished population to below 20 percent and leave Pilot Butte slightly below 70 percent.

Test scores The schools also have slightly disparate test scores and state ratings.

Since the Oregon Report Card began in 2000, Cascade Middle School has received a mark of “satisfactory” seven times, while the school’s been rated “strong” or “outstanding” five times. In 2008-09 and 2009-10, the school’s been called “outstanding.”

Meanwhile, Pilot Butte Middle School has ranked “satisfactory” nine times and “strong” just once. Twice, it wasn’t rated.

In terms of adequate yearly progress, neither school met the requirements in 2009-10.

Cascade has met the requirements just twice and Pilot Butte just once since AYP’s inception in 2002.

In 2009-10, about 75 percent of Pilot Butte students met or exceeded state reading benchmarks. That same year, 91 percent of Cascade students did the same.

In math, 78 percent of Pilot Butte students met or exceeded state benchmarks, while more than 88 percent of Cascade students did the same.

The state also tracks students who nearly meet benchmarks.

Taking these students into consideration, 90 percent of Pilot Butte students are succeeding in math, and 92 percent are succeeding in reading. At Cascade, 96 percent are succeeding in math, and 97 percent are succeeding in reading.

“We do not see Pilot Butte as a low-performing school,” Van Buren said.

She pointed to eighth-grade performance on the Oregon Assessment of Knowledge and Skills. Twelve percent more Pilot Butte students meet or exceed OAKS reading benchmarks than their peers at schools with similar demographics. The margin in math is 7 percentage points.

“The single most effective and important variable is teacher effectiveness,” Van Buren said. “You could be at a school where there are no challenging demographics, and if you have a weak teacher or ineffective teachers a few years in a row, that has a negative cumulative effect on student performance.”

But according to a 2010 study by the National Center for Education Statistics, students at high-poverty schools are at some disadvantage. High-poverty schools are those in which at least 76 percent of students are eligible for free or reduced lunch, according to the study.

Low-poverty schools are those with eligibility rates below 26 percent. Those numbers are slightly more severe than at Pilot Butte and Cascade.

Teacher quality The study found teachers working in both elementary and secondary schools are less likely to have at least a master’s degree and professional certification than those in low-poverty schools. And about 22 percent of secondary teachers in high-poverty schools had fewer than three years’ teaching ex-

“Everybody wants the same thing for their children, regardless of their socioeconomic status.”

— Vicki Van Buren, chief academic officer, Bend-La Pine Schools perience, compared with 15 percent in low-poverty schools.

The Oregon report cards show more Pilot Butte teachers (74 percent) have master’s degrees than those at Cascade (70 percent). Cascade teachers have an average of 13 years in the classroom, while Pilot Butte teachers have about 11.5 years on the job.

Cascade Principal Stephanie Bennett, who was principal at Pilot Butte until this fall, said teachers at the two schools are similar.

“In some respects, I’ve never seen a harder working staff (than at Pilot Butte), just trying everything they could to get those kids’ test scores up, working late, late hours and very, very dedicated,” she said.

“I would not say in any way that the teaching is any different. In fact, we are trained identically in how we teach kids.”

But in schools with high levels of poverty and other problems, Van Buren said it’s important to ensure there’s a strong set of social services available.

In Bend-La Pine Schools, that includes, among other things, an active Family Access Network advocate and referrals to the nearby school-based health clinic at Ensworth Elementary.

“We’re working at trying to address those needs so that students don’t have to worry about those things when they come to school,” Van Buren said. “They can really focus on learning at school and not worry about, ‘Where’s my family sleeping tonight?’”

Meanwhile, the National Center for Education Statistics study found that violence occurred more frequently at schools with high poverty rates. In 38 percent of high-poverty public schools, 20 or more violent incidents took place in 2007-08. Only 15 percent of low-poverty public schools experienced that many incidents.

Safety Deschutes County 911 logs for the two middle schools show that since Sept. 1, police or fire officials have been dispatched to Cascade Middle School 45 times and to Pilot Butte Middle School 151 times. Most of those calls are likely unrelated to the schools. Many were for traffic stops or incidents that occurred outside school hours.

Of the calls to Pilot Butte, 40 were during school days for pertinent concerns. For example, police were dispatched to the school for possible drug offenses seven times, four times for possible harassment and four times for possible theft.

At Cascade, meanwhile, there were at least 12 calls during school days for pertinent concerns. For example, police were dispatched to the middle school three times for “juvenile problems,” and once each for other issues like possible weapons, assault and criminal mischief.

The Deschutes County 911 logs show only how often police have been dispatched, not whether calls are warranted.

They do not show whether a crime occurred or whether an arrest was made.

The schools appear evenly matched in other regards: Both Cascade and Pilot Butte had one automatic expulsion for a student bringing a weapon to school grounds. State report cards showed that Cascade’s attendance is more than 93 percent, while Pilot Butte’s hovers around 92 percent.

Bennett, Cascade’s principal, said she sees little difference in the two schools’ safety.

“They flow similar ways,” Bennett said. “I think that every single school I’ve been at I’ve seen bullying issues, I’ve seen drug issues, I’ve seen alcohol issues, and I’ve seen weapon issues. Those are the three or four things that we really worry about the most, and I’ve had them here and had them there. I don’t think there’s a difference (at Pilot Butte).”

Parent involvement Bennett and Pilot Butte Principal Michael Hecker, who previously led Cascade, agree that parental involvement and fundraising differ at the two schools.

“It is far more difficult to raise funds here than it is at Cascade,” Hecker said. “We’re not as likely to raise as much as Cascade would, but we’ll still shoot for big things and increase our parental involvement.”

Hecker said parental participation was much more widespread at Cascade, where a mass e-mail would produce many volunteers.

At Pilot Butte, getting parents involved requires a phone call or a personal e-mail.

“I think we have PTSO (parent-teacher-student organization) meetings that have 20 to 40 parents attending, and the most we had at Pilot Butte was 10,” Bennett said. “That was something I was always trying to work on.”

Angie Jackson, treasurer for Pilot Butte’s PTSO, says this year’s organization has been reorganizing and as a result hasn’t earned as much as in the past.

But she said the PTSO has raised about $3,000, primarily through the Giant Gallop, in which donors run up Pilot Butte, and through a pancake breakfast. The group plans to put on a talent show. Next year, the PTSO intends to put on an enchilada dinner and start running

family fun nights.

Teachers can apply for small grants for classroom programs, and the PTSO uses its budget to fund those. It also helps fund the school’s recognition weeks.

“That way it impacts as many kids as it can,” Jackson said.

At Cascade Middle School, PTSO President Charlotte Van Valkenburg said her organization has raised about $30,000 this year.

Most of that is raised through Cruisin’ for Cascade. The school also raises money with eScrip and other programs.

With the funds, the PTSO funds field trips, classroom supplies and an annual artist-in-residence program. This year the organization paid for new track and crosscountry uniforms. Van Valkenburg said she’s also hoping to buy 10 new laptop computers for use in classrooms.

“The school has several (computer) carts, but some are aging and not too functional, so it’s kind of nice to do some things that last, that will be around for five or six years,” she said.

‘Kids are kids’ To Bennett, the differences are in the little things: There are

hundreds more students in the Cascade cafeteria at lunchtime than in Pilot Butte’s. Cascade’s hallways are more crowded, and its traffic is worse before and after school.

Nevertheless, says Bennett, “the kids to me are very similar.

They have similar issues, we see them for similar things as far as discipline goes and counseling needs go. I think kids are kids in that respect.”

And Hecker thinks all kids, regardless of their backgrounds, are capable of doing high-quality work.

“I think if we just maintain and increase our expectations of what our students are capable of doing, which is a lot, they’ll continue to impress us,” he said.

“It’s not their economic status that’s really at play here. It’s talking about setting a tone for the building, and maintaining high expectations and good teaching practices.”

He said he welcomes parents visiting the school to see what it’s really all about.

“It’s a happy place to learn,” he said.

Astronauts Continued from A1 “We hope we will overcome this hurdle and continue to explore,” said Peggy Whitson, the head of NASA’s astronaut office, whose job includes selecting the astronauts who will fly each space mission. While people’s spirits are a little down, she said, “we’ll have to see — NASA has gone through different phases like this before.”

Specials!

Shrinking corps The current situation may not dampen the career aspirations of the elementary school set, but last year alone, 20 astronauts left NASA’s active-duty roster; today, 61 remain, down from a peak of about 150 in 2000. Back then, NASA was gearing up to staff the International Space Station and the shuttles that supplied it.

The shift has made a big difference to people like John Grunsfeld, the Dr. Fix-It of the Hubble Space Telescope, who has flown five missions for NASA. After his last flight, in May 2009, he asked Whitson about his chances of returning to space. “She was honest,” Grunsfeld said. “Slim to none.”

If Whitson had dangled even a small chance at a plum assignment, like commanding the International Space Station, “I probably would have stayed,” said Grunsfeld, 52. But she did not. So in January 2010, he left NASA to become deputy director of the Space Telescope Science Institute in Baltimore, which operates the Hubble.

Another astronaut for whom the new realities presented a problem was Capt. Scott Altman of the Navy, who has flown four missions for NASA. But at 6-foot-4, he does not fit into a Soyuz capsule.

After his last shuttle flight in 2009, Altman, 51, saw the writing on the wall. As he wrestled with the decision over whether to leave NASA, the Obama administration made the decision to scrap Constellation and Ares I. He announced last August that he would depart.

Leaving NASA “was the right decision,” Altman said, but “there are some regrets from time to time.” He now works for ASRC Research and Technology Solutions in Maryland, which does engineering work for NASA and other federal agencies.

NASA will still be hiring astronauts, though not people of Altman’s vintage. In the next year or two, as more people leave or retire, the agency will recruit a new class of six to 12 astronauts, Whitson said. If NASA decides to reduce tours of duty at the space station from six months to four, that would mean a need for even more astronauts.

“We briefed the entire office on what to expect,” said Whitson, who is herself an astronaut.

Other opportunities Meanwhile, opportunities for astronauts outside of NASA are small but growing.

Virgin Galactic, part of Richard Branson’s empire, is seeking three space pilots for its SpaceShipTwo rocket plane, which may begin space tourism trips next year. While SpaceShipTwo will take suborbital hops that provide only a few minutes of weightlessness, other companies — like Boeing and the Space Exploration Technologies Corp., better known as SpaceX — are developing spacecraft that will be able to fly to the International Space Station and elsewhere.

Garrett Reisman, who joined the astronaut corps in 1998, left NASA last month for SpaceX, which was founded by the Internet entrepreneur Elon Musk.

Reisman had logged more than three months in space and done work on the space station’s robotic arm.

“Being an astronaut is the coolest job ever,” said Reisman, 43. “It was very, very difficult to voluntarily leave.”

If Reisman had stayed at NASA, he would have had a chance to fly again, but he decided to move on. Now he is working on a rocket (the Falcon 9) and a spacecraft (the Dragon) that are meant to take passengers and cargo to the space station.

“It’s an engineer’s dream to design a spaceship,” he said. “To me, it seems like we’re on the verge of a golden age of spaceflight — that’s where I wanted to be.”

For every astronaut who quits NASA because of age or a lack of opportunity, there are any number of young people aspiring to fill their shoes.

The job is still as romantic as the standards are stringent. According to NASA’s website, as-

On-orbit footage from the film “Hubble 3D.” Curtailed opportunities at space flight are pushing NASA astronauts to seek other jobs. For instance John Grunsfeld, the Dr. Fix-It of the Hubble Space Telescope, who has flown five missions for NASA, left in January 2010 to become deputy director of the Space Telescope Science Institute in Baltimore, which operates the Hubble. tronaut candidates must be able to swim three lengths of a pool in a flight suit and tennis shoes; an advanced degree in science or math is a plus.

The requirements are even stricter for people who want to work in the space station: you must speak Russian, know robotics, be trained for spacewalks and be healthy enough to spend six months in space.

This formidable checklist has helped NASA nudge some astronauts aside. But it has not dulled anyone’s memories.

“Being in space is like being someplace magic,” said Col. Pamela Ann Melroy of the Air Force, the second female astronaut to command a shuttle mission. She left NASA in 2009, knowing there would be intense jockeying by astronauts seeking to command one of the few remaining flights.

“I didn’t really want to get into situation where I was hanging around hoping that I would get one of them,” she said.

Melroy is still wistful about the lost prospect of flying on the Ares I. “That would have been a hoot,” she said.

Shortages Continued from A1 Hunt is one of thousands of patients in the U.S. dealing with the impact of drug shortages.

But unlike Hunt, who found a viable substitute, many patients are facing limited supplies of critical, life-saving medications for which there are no alternatives.

“It’s terrible that patients with a curable disease can’t get the treatment that they need,” said Erin Fox, a pharmacist with Drug Information Services at the University of Utah. And it appears the trend is getting worse.

Fox, who has been tracking drug shortages at the university since 2001, said the number of shortages has risen each year since 2007. In 2010, she documented a record 211 new drug shortages, and if current trends continue, that number will be dwarfed this year. Through the first quarter of 2011, the listing includes 89 new shortages.

“That’s one a day. If you prorate it out, it’s like 360 shortages (for the year),” Fox said. “That rate is unsustainable. We are seeing an impact to patients right now. But if we move along at that pace, we are going to see a major impact.”

Concurrent disruptions Fox said the reasons behind the shortages are varied, and in nearly half the cases, manufacturers don’t disclose the source of the problem. At times, they may experience production issues in their plants or a shortfall in the supplies needed to produce the product. In some cases, manufacturers have made a strategic business decision to cease production of a product with a low profit margin. Even if there are other manufacturers of similar products, those companies may not be able to ramp up production in time to avoid shortages.

“There are not very many companies that make generic injectable drugs, and that’s what most of our shortages are,” Fox said. “Then when even one company has a glitch, we don’t have any resiliency in our supply chain to make up the difference.”

That’s what occurred with a number of chemotherapy agents currently in short supply. One large manufacturer, Teva Pharmaceuticals, shut down its production facility in Irvine, Calif., for what it thought would be a two-week duration in April 2010. The plant has yet to reopen, halting production of some 50 cancer drugs. To make matters worse, a second generic injectable manufacturer, Hospira, experienced manufacturing issues that cut its production of chemotherapy drugs as well.

“Both companies having problems at the same time really just made our total number of shortages just skyrocket for 2010,” Fox said. “We haven’t seen large numbers of chemotherapy drug shortages in the past 10 years until 2010. In 2010, we had 23 drugs that were in that chemotherapy category, and in 2011, we’ve already had 11.”

Of particular concern is the supply of the drug cytarabine, used to treat acute myeloid leukemia. Two of three companies producing the drug are experiencing production difficulties, and only Hospira is shipping the drug, albeit in limited supplies.

Earlier this month, Dr. Hagop Kantarjian, chairman of the leukemia department at the University of Texas M.D. Anderson Cancer Center in Houston, sent a letter to cancer doctors asking for reports on the impact of the shortage. Some 10,000 individuals in the U.S. are diagnosed with that form of leukemia each year, and cytarabine is the only effective way of treating the condition.

“Since its introduction to AML therapy in the 1970s, the cure rate has increased from zero percent to 40 to 50 percent,” Kantarjian wrote. “In simple terms, no cytarabine equals no cure.”

At Oregon Health & Science University, supplies of cytarabine got so low in February that at least one patient was not able to get treatment as scheduled.

“There really just isn’t an alternative to treat certain leukemia situations,” said Jennifer Zanon, supply chain and compliance operations manager for pharmacy services at OHSU. “It’s either that, or they can’t be treated effectively.”

Zanon said she deals with drug shortages on a daily basis and must often call around to other hospitals to see if they have any medication to spare.

But when national shortag-

Bill Hunt, of Bend, was put on an alternative asthma medication called Dulera, right, after he was unable to obtain Foradil, left. He says the new medication works almost as well as the old, but with drug shortages appearing to get worse, some patients are stuck with no viable substitutes. es occur, there may be none available.

“For a while, it was a lot of the anesthesia drugs that threatened us. Our anesthesiologists had to reduce some of the surgeries that we were doing,” she said.

The St. Charles Health System has faced similar difficulties, experiencing problems with four oncology drugs, including leucovorin, a drug used to minimize the damage of certain chemotherapy agents on healthy cells. Doctors at the St. Charles Cancer Center were able to substitute an alternative drug, but at double the cost.

The hospital has also recently experienced a shortfall of the commonly used anesthetic propofol.

“In order to conserve our supply, efforts have been made to ensure that it’s used only when absolutely necessary,” spokeswoman Lisa Goodman said.

Risk of errors But patient safety experts warn that substituting an alternative drug for one in short supply raises the potential for medication errors. Doctors and nurses may be unfamiliar with dosing of the new product or its particular contraindications or side effects.

In a 2010 survey of 1,800 health care practitioners by the Institute for Safe Medication Practices, 35 percent reported their facilities had experienced a “near miss” — a medication error that was caught before it caused any patient harm — during the past year due to a drug shortage. One in four providers reported actual errors, and one in five reported actual patient harm.

“We’ve had deaths that have happened because of shortages of drugs,” said Michael Cohen, president of the Institute. “We’ve had deaths where there’s been confusion about the proper use of the replacement drug.”

The Food and Drug Administration has been taking steps to address the shortages on a case-by-case basis, including allowing for the importation of drugs in short supply from other countries with good drug safety practices.

“But when you get it from another country, the labeling is different, even the vial label may be different. It could even be in a different language,” Cohen said.

“There are safety issues with that when we have to import, but they’re doing it because there’s an emergency. You can’t do without these drugs.”

Last year, the agency was able to mitigate shortages of some 40 drugs because manufacturers warned of impending shortfalls.

Although the FDA must keep such knowledge confidential, agency officials were able to suggest to manufacturers of similar products that they increase their production.

But drug companies aren’t required to tell the agency when they expect disruptions or if they decide to stop making a drug for business reasons. There is a requirement for advance notice from manufacturers of drugs deemed “medically necessary,” but the FDA has no authority to sanction companies that don’t provide the information.

In February, Sens. Amy Klobuchar, D-Minn., and Bob Casey, D-Penn., introduced the Preserving Access to Life-Saving Medications Act, which would require all pharmaceutical companies to give early notification of potential disruptions to the FDA, and require the agency to let the public know.

“Physicians, pharmacists and patients are currently among the last to know when an essential drug will no longer be available.

That’s not right,” Klobuchar said

in a statement on the bill. “This common-sense solution will help set up an early-warning system

so pharmacists and physicians can prepare in advance, and ensure that patients continue to re-

Medications that are sold in pharmacies to patients are less likely to experience shortages, mainly because non-injectable drugs are easier to make. There is more overlap between manufacturers of pills and tablets than for complex biological or injectable drugs. Fox estimates that less than 20 percent of the drugs on the shortage list are drugs typically sold through pharmacies for patients to take on their own.

Kyle Mills, a pharmacist with Bend Memorial Clinic, said he fields calls from clinic doctors, mainly primary care physicians, about twice a month for help with finding an alternative to a drug in short supply. If patients cannot fill a prescription at a pharmacy due to a shortage, both the pharmacist and the physician should be able to help.

“The first thing to do is to make sure the pharmacy has contacted the provider,” Mills said. “And I think it’s good for the patient to call the provider and follow up so that people understand it’s an issue affecting that patient.”

If an alternative drug is available, the doctor will have to write

a new prescription for the patient.

Pharmacists do not have the authority to make the switch on their own.

And patients should be prepared that alternatives may cost more. The FDA warned last week of a shortage of generic medications for attention deficit hyperactivity disorder. Patients taking generic versions of Adderall or Ritalin may face higher costs for the brand-name drug until the generic supply rebounds.

Hunt said he plans to stick with his Dulera prescription for the time being, even if the Foradil shortage is resolved. Although Dulera costs more, his insurance picks up more of the tab, lowering his out-of-pocket costs.

If there’s a silver lining to the dark cloud of drug shortages, it may be that patients forced into trying new therapies sometimes find those work better than their old drugs.

“It can be a good chance to reoptimize your therapy, to rethink everything,” said Fox, the Utah pharmacist. “That’s always nice to take that step sometimes and look at it, but there is a hassle factor.”

Area businesses given $90,000 in layoff relief

Examining each week of the 2011 Legislature from a Central Oregon perspective

State grant will match employee efficiency training dollar for dollar

Analysis

No easy wins for environmentalists

By Nick Budnick The Bulletin

SALEM — Instead of gearing up for Earth Day last week, environmental advocates in the Capitol were busy coping with the new-look 2011 Legislature.

With fewer legislative allies after the November elections, green groups are playing defense while trying to pick off small victories.

Two of those victories came last week, when a plasticbag ban and a revamped bottle bill were passed out of their respective committees Thursday. It’s unclear, however, whether the initiatives will survive and become law.

Overall, things could be worse, said Paul Dewey, executive director for the

The Bulletin

Eight area businesses last week were selected to receive nearly $90,000 in state grant funding to retrain workers and prevent layoffs.

Much of the money will pay for instruction in leadership and “lean” practices, which allow businesses to operate more efficiently.

Grant recipients were cho-

sen Wednesday by a regional Workforce Response Team, a state-authorized panel that helps keep businesses competitive and people employed. Companies receiving grants must match the subsidies on a dollarfor-dollar basis.

Wednesday’s biggest winner was Consolidated Pine, a Prineville wood moulding plant, which will receive $21,360.

Consolidated Pine will use the

money to teach its employees to operate more efficiently.

“It is safe to say that if their workforce does not become more efficient, the future of Consolidated Pine is in jeopardy,” said Kleve Kee, a business consultant working with Consolidated Pine. The company’s biggest competitors are in South America, where wages and other costs are lower, said Kee. See Grant / B6

“I guess I’m relieved that we’ve had as much success as we’ve had,” he said.

“What is disappointing to me is we’ve had to fight so many battles on things that I’m shocked could even see the light of day.”

Sen. Chris Telfer, R-Bend, said the 30-30 split between major parties in the House of Representatives has created a new dynamic, and environmental groups are having to temper their approach.

“What I’m seeing is less extreme bills, whether it be environmental or what,” she said. “We’re not seeing extreme right, we’re not seeing extreme left; we’re see a lot more moderation.”

A Redmond-area man was seriously injured Friday evening when he struck a mailbox while riding his motorcycle on the Cline Falls Highway, according to Oregon State Police.

Michael Lee Dyer, 48, was heading north about a mile south of Eagle Crest Resort at around 7:30 p.m. when he went off the edge of the road while negotiating a curve.

Fisher Jennings, 5 months, left, and Coltan Bizjak, 10 months, await the big moment at Bambini of Bend in the Great Cloth Diaper Change, an attempt to set a world record for the largest number of simultaneous cloth diaper changings.

A record change “The average newborn can go through 10 to 12 diapers a day.

When you think about that times how many babies there are and how many days there are, that adds up to a big, big number.”

Bend group takes part in global event with focus on cloth diapers

By Scott Hammers The Bulletin

I

t makes sense that Olive Jones would be trying for her first world record attempt when she’s just a few months old.

Dad Tim Jones had a spot in the Guinness Book of World Records for a few years in the late 1990s, as part of a group at the University of Maine that set the record for the largest group of people kissing.

Saturday, Tim, his wife, Elise Jones, and baby Olive were at Bambini of Bend as part of the Great Cloth Diaper Change, an attempt to set a record for the largest number of simultaneous

cloth diaper changes.

For Tim, it’s good to see his daughter following in his footsteps without calling too much attention to herself.

“If you’re part of the group, you’re doing it in anonymity, and you can be happy with that without the showboating,” he said.

Coming one day after Earth Day, the record-setting attempt included more than 400 groups of cloth-diapering parents around the world, all pulling off one diaper and putting on another at the same time. The organizers, the “Real Diaper Association,” predicted at least 10,000 changes.

Washington Week Congress began a two-week recess on April 18.

When it returns, it is expected to vote on whether to raise the country’s debt limit to allow more borrowing and deficit spending.

Currently, the debt limit is set at $14.3 trillion. But the country’s debt is expected to exceed the cap as soon as next month, potentially triggering a complicated fiscal mess if the limit is not raised.

In the past, the country’s debt limit was raised automatically. This year, however, House Republicans voted to require a separate vote on the debt limit.

According to news accounts, the vast majority of Republicans in the House of Representatives have individually expressed support for raising the debt limit.

However, they are expected to use the need for their approval to exert pressure on the Senate to agree to their budget proposal adopted April 15.

The House Republican budget would require deep cuts in Medicare, Medicaid and other programs. It also would renew tax cuts signed into law by then-President George W. Bush in 2003 and President Barack Obama last year. The tax cuts otherwise would expire. The highest tax rate on the wealthiest individuals and corporations would be cut from 35 to 25 percent.

Spain declares war on the U.S. in 1898 T O D AY IN HISTORY

The Associated Press Today is Easter Sunday, April 24, the 114th day of 2011. There are 251 days left in the year.

TODAY’S HIGHLIGHT IN HISTORY On April 24, 1961, in the wake of the failed Bay of Pigs invasion of Cuba, the White House issued a statement saying that President John F. Kennedy “bears sole responsibility for the events of the past few days.”

ONE YEAR AGO A dozen people were killed by a tornado system that bumped down in Louisiana before plowing into Mississippi and then Alabama. Etiquette expert Elizabeth Post (granddaughter-in-law of Emily Post) died in Naples, Fla., at 89.

ON THIS DATE In 1792, the national anthem of France, “La Marseillaise,” was composed by Captain Claude Joseph Rouget de Lisle.

In 1800, Congress approved a bill establishing the Library of Congress.

In 1898, Spain declared war on the United States. (The United States responded in kind the next day.)

In 1915, what’s widely regarded as the start of the Armenian genocide began as the Ottoman Empire rounded up Armenian political and cultural leaders in Constantinople.

In 1916, some 1,600 Irish nationalists launched the Easter Rising by seizing several key sites in Dublin. (The rising was put down by British forces almost a week later.)

In 1960, rioting erupted in Biloxi, Miss., after black protesters staging a “wade-in” at a whites-only beach were attacked by a crowd of hostile whites.

In 1970, the People’s Republic of China launched its first satellite, which kept transmitting a song, “The East is Red.” In 1980, the United States launched an unsuccessful attempt to free the American hostages in Iran, a mission that resulted in the deaths of eight U.S. servicemen.

TODAY’S BIRTHDAYS Film and drama critic Stanley Kauffmann is 95. Movie director-producer Richard Donner is 81. Actress Shirley MacLaine is 77. Actor-singer Michael Parks is 71. Actress-singer-director Barbra Streisand is 69. Chicago Mayor Richard M. Daley is 69. Country singer Richard Sterban (The Oak Ridge Boys) is 68. Rock musician Doug Clifford (Creedence Clearwater Revival) is 66. Actor Michael O’Keefe is 56. Rock musician David J (Bauhaus) is 54. Actor Glenn Morshower is 52.

Rock musician Billy Gould is 48. Actor-comedian Cedric the Entertainer is 47. Actor Djimon Hounsou is 47. Actress Melinda Clarke is 42. Latin pop singer Alejandro Fernandez is 40.

Country-rock musician Brad Morgan (Drive-By Truckers) is 40. Rock musician Brian Marshall (Creed; Alter Bridge) is 38. Actor Derek Luke is 37. Actor Eric Balfour is 34. Actress Rebecca Mader is 34. Country singer Rebecca Lynn Howard is 32. Country singer Danny Gokey is 31. Actor Austin Nichols is 31. Contemporary Christian musician Jasen Rauch (Red) is 30. Singer Kelly Clarkson is 29. Rock singer-musician Tyson Ritter (The All-American Rejects) is 27.

TEN YEARS AGO A New Zealand air force plane rescued four ailing Americans at an Antarctic research station.

FIVE YEARS AGO Terrorist bombings killed at least 23 people at a beach resort on Egypt’s Sinai Peninsula.

THOUGHT FOR TODAY “The door to the past is a strange door. It swings open and things pass through it, but they pass in one direction only.

No man can return across that threshold, though he can look down still and see the green light waver in the water weeds.”

— Loren Eiseley, American anthropologist (1907-1977)

Environment Continued from B1 Andrea Salinas of the Oregon Environmental Council said environmentalists have enjoyed some successes, such as a push to ban bisphenol-A from baby bottles and other children’s products. The measure recently won a bipartisan vote in the state Senate after failing in the 2009 session.

Some of the fiercest action has come over attempts to modify Oregon’s land use law, said Eric Stachon of the group 1000 Friends of Oregon.

“I think it’s been a challenging session for us,” he said.

The group’s priority was to kill four bills that would have curbed environmentalists’ ability to challenge the legality of land use decisions. As a key deadline passed last week, it appeared that all four bills had died. As a result, “I think we’re for the most part pleased with where things stand,” Stachon said.

Stachon’s and Dewey’s groups have clashed with several priority bills of Central Oregon’s legislative delegation.

Whisnant’s bill killed Rep. Gene Whisnant, R-Sunriver, had pushed for House Bill 3647, which would exempt the Sunriver Resort partnership from land use laws in its attempt to develop 925 homes in its Pine Forest tract. However, opposition — from south county residents as well as from environmentalists — helped kill the bill in the House Agricultural and Natural Resources Committee. Whisnant hopes to revive the idea, saying Sunriver could help pay for the area’s septic problems, but admits he faces an uphill battle.

Rep. John Huffman, R-The Dalles, is pushing HB 3595, which would allow counties to authorize large commercial solar facilities on farmland. Environmentalists claim it would remove state oversight and could take top Oregon farmland out of production. However, Huffman said it would only affect a few locations of “scrubland” in rural Oregon. On Thursday, the bill was voted out of a key committee in time for an April 21 deadline.

Telfer, meanwhile, is trying to shepherd into law Senate Bill 792, which would let regions designate land for jobs. Environmentalists have opposed the bill, saying it would allow these “employment” plots to be located anywhere, bypassing Oregon’s land use rules that focus growth into cities. Telfer said she’s been

working with an adviser to Gov. John Kitzhaber on what she feels will be an acceptable compromise. The bill was voted out of committee Thursday.

Besides land use, other hot zones of environmental strife include state forestry practices and endangered species protections.

Ivan Maluski, a lobbyist for the Oregon Sierra Club, said his group has battled bills in the House to make it easier to kill wolves and cougars, as well as others to step up logging in state forests, where environmentalists say habitat for rare species is under siege.

“We’ll see what happens on the Senate side, but definitely feel like it’s been tough sailing for environmental issues (in the House),” he said.

With the 2011 session far from over, people are watching to see how the “end game” plays out.

That’s the end-of-session period when bare-knuckle politics is used to force lawmakers’ priorities forward, and when even bills thought dead suddenly spring to life.

Huffman said that’s when the

differences between the Democratic-controlled Senate and the evenly split House will be brought into stark focus.

“I’m looking forward to it,” he said. “I think it’s going to be a fun end of the session.”

Dewey isn’t looking forward, knowing that fights he considered over could return.

“All of these things could be resurrected later on,” he said.

“I’m never comfortable until the end of the session.”

Whisnant has pushed to extend the program’s expiration date to 2029, only to run into environmentalists’ desire to plug what they say are loopholes detailed by a state study. The two sides are working on details of a compromise.

Myron is a longtime insurance agent who let his love of trout fishing lure him into an advocacy job with Oregon Trout, later becoming a top natural resources adviser to then-Gov. Ted Kulongoski.

He says his time on the inside of government has taught him a lot: “In this business, you have to work with everyone that’s involved in any particular bill, if you’re going to be successful in making any kind of progress.”

Central Oregon connections: Besides working on issues that are important to Central Oregon, such as the water mitigation program, Myron also has a decades-long attachment to the region. Since the late 1960s, he’s fished the Crooked River, and brought his sons there and to the middle Deschutes River when they were growing up.

He and his wife keep a second-home getaway east of Prineville. “It’s just 10 acres with a trailer spot,” he said, adding, “If I could have figured out a way to earn a living in Central Oregon, I probably would have moved over there a long time ago.”

Hobbies: “Reading and fishing and working.” Technically retired, he said his lobbying is an effort to “give back to the community.”

O Woman arrested in shooting death of Eugene policeman Officer was 12-year veteran; authorities search for motive The Associated Press PORTLAND — A woman has been arrested in the shooting death of Eugene traffic enforcement officer whose body was found slumped against a tire of a tractor-trailer rig in rush hour traffic.

The death Friday of Chris Kilcullen, 43, is the first of a Eugene Police Depar tment officer in the line of duty since 1934.

Cheryl D. Kidd Cheryl D. Kidd, 57, of Spr i ng f ield , was charged with aggravated murder and remained in the Lane County jail on Saturday without bail. A motive for the shooting was not immediately clear.

“I mean, I guess, he wasn’t a kid. He was a real good guy, and he loved his job.”

more about her,” Smith said. He said his department hadn’t yet found any relatives of Kidd in the area.

Kidd was cornered after the shooting at a dead-end Forest Service road near Lowell. She remained in the car for at least two hours until being coaxed from the vehicle and arrested without incident.

SALEM — After years of work to create an insurance exchange aimed at lowering health care costs for individuals and small businesses, the state Senate is finally preparing to vote on a carefully negotiated bill this week.

But the compromise, which passed a Senate committee unanimously with support from the insurance industry, has left consumer advocates disappointed.

The bill would prohibit the exchange from negotiating for lower rates and would allow health industry executives to serve on the

IN THE LEGISLATURE governing board.

“I think consumers and small businesses, who have been paying the prices for years and years, deserve better,” said Laura Etherton, a lobbyist for Oregon State Public Interest Research Group. The compromise is also opposed by unions, AARP, the Oregon Nurses Association and other groups.

Despite the criticism, the bill has powerful supporters who praise it

as a revolutionary leap for people who have trouble getting access to affordable health care. It’s aimed at small businesses that struggle to afford health insurance premiums for their workers and at people who are self-employed and can’t get access to coverage from an employer.

“This legislation will give more than 350,000 Oregonians access to quality, affordable health care and give Oregon small businesses the ability to provide coverage for their workers,” Gov. John Kitzhaber said after a state Senate committee approved the measure earlier this month.

Kilcullen was hired in 1998 and won employee of the month awards in May 2004 and June 2008 after conducting the most investigations, arrests, traffic citations and field interviews among Eugene police officers.

He moved to the traffic unit in 2005 and was a longtime member of the department’s crisis negotiation team.

Before becoming a police officer, Kilcullen was a radio DJ and worked in youth social services.

The father of two earned bachelor’s degrees in sociology and psychology.

Eugene Police Chief Pete Kerns on Saturday called Kilcullen’s career “remarkable” and said he had earned 85 commendations in his career, even from drivers he stopped.

“He saved many lives from suicide and other disasters,” as part of the department’s crisis negotiation team, Kerns said.

Officer Jim McBride said he served with Kilcullen for 12 years.

“If you were to rank (Eugene Police Department) officers from the nicest guys down, Chris Kilcullen was number one,” McBride said. “She got our best. That’s it.”

Jury sides with police Ship carrying lumber hits pier at paper mill in underwear case PORTLAND — A federal jury has sided with two Portland police officers who arrested a 47-year-old woman and took her to jail although she wasn’t wearing any underwear or pants.

Sherrie Sandau had sought as much as $750,000 in damages. Her lawyer told The Oregonian that she plans to appeal.

Jurors found the officers acted reasonably. The jury also found that police entry into the home without a warrant was justified in the 2005 case.

Sandau was arrested after confronting officers who responded to a complaint from a neighbor about a barking dog and other noise from Sandau’s home.

CLATSKANIE — The Coast Guard says a cargo vessel carrying lumber hit a pier and two barges at the Wauna Georgia Pacific paper mill near Clatskanie in northwest Oregon.

No injuries or pollution was reported after the Susaki Wing out of Panama struck the pier early Friday evening after losing propulsion.

One of the barges was pushed to shore by a tugboat because paper mill staff worried it might sink.

— From wire reports

Father of two, decorated officer

Suspect cornered The shooting occurred at about 4:30 p.m. when Kilcullen, a 12-year veteran, tried to stop the driver of a Buick Skylark.

The driver fled, and Kilcullen pursued the sedan into nearby Springfield. When cornered at a traffic light, the driver fired at least one shot from a handgun that struck Kilcullen, officials said. Police say he did not return fire.

Bobbie Clark, of Springfield, told KEZI-TV in Eugene that she watched the chase unfold and followed Kilcullen’s motorcycle.

When she arrived at the shooting site, she found Kilcullen shot.

“It is so sad. They work so hard, and it’s not fair,” Clark said. “I was hoping she’d be the one to run into something and not him.”

Springfield Police Chief Jerry Smith said his department was seeking search warrants for Kidd’s Springfield apartment and her car.

“We’re contacting neighbors, associates, trying to learn a little

In ’61, retiree procures gold from a log 100 YEARS AGO For the week ending April 23, 1911 CITY WILL BUY STREET SPRINKLER Purchase of a street sprinkler, improvement of the light situation and aid for the proposed woolen mill to be established here were the most important matters taken up by the City Council last night.

A committee of two was appointed to buy a street sprinkler and arrange for its operation.

It was decided to sprinkle Wall Street from Kentucky to beyond Linster’s Hall, Bond from Ohio to Greenwood, and Ohio, Minnesota and Oregon streets between Wall and Bond.

The street committee also recommended that a King road drag be purchased from the county, and that Greenwood and Koa avenues be bridged where the ditch crosses them. This was adopted.

General Manager J.M. Lawrence of The Bend Company offered to furnish the city with new 2400 candlepower light at $7.50 a light monthly. He will order and install one of these lights as a test before the council decides whether it will adopt it. “We want to give the town good lights,” said Mr. Lawrence, “and I believe this new light will be satisfactory.”

The council is anxious to assist in the establishment of a woolen mill here, and, the city having no charter yet, the city attorney was instructed to draw up an ordinance providing that a special fund be created to guarantee to the woolen mill company a sum equal to its annual city taxes for a period of years if the mill is built here. A special meeting of the council was called for 4 p.m. tomorrow to act on the ordinance.

At tomorrow’s special session, estimates of the probable cost of designing a sewer system for the municipality of Bend will be discussed. Mayor Coe urged such action saying the city ought to be ready to construct a sewer system as soon as it adopts a charter.

TRY BURNS ROAD A party consisting of Bend businessmen, accompanied by Hill railway representatives, leaves Bend in four or five automobiles Sunday for Burns. The entire trip will be made over the new Bend-Burns road.

The mission of the Bendites will be to formally tell the Burns people of the opening of the new road and to invite them to make this town their shipping point as soon as the railroad gets here.

Secretary Sawhill of the Commercial Club has written the Burns club what time the party will arrive there, and it is understood that the visitors will be well entertained. They will spend Monday in the Harney county seat and leave for home Tuesday morning.

75 YEARS AGO For the week ending April 23, 1936 JOHN WETLE COMPANY HOLDING OPEN HOUSE IN NEW HOME TONIGHT Housed in modern and enlarged quarters, the Wetle store, now a Central Oregon institution following more than a decade of rapidly expanding business in Bend, will be formally opened for business in its new home tomorrow, following an open house tonight. The open house will be from 8 to 9 o’clock tonight and the entire staff, including John Wetle, owner and manager, will be on hand to greet the visitors and show them through a store which, it is believed, will further increase Bend’s drawing power as the metropolis of the interior country.

In preparation for tonight’s open house, members of the store staff have been getting the enlarged store in order today, putting final touches on the large display windows, arranging new goods and rearranging things generally following three weeks of extensive renovation work during which the building was practically reconstructed.

Tonight’s open house will be for the purpose of enabling visitors to view the new quarters and merchandise, with no sales to be made, the management stresses.

Tomorrow morning the business, specializing in women’s and children’s goods, will be formally opened for business.

Visitors will find the Wetle store an entire new place of business, with twice the former space and with departments arranged in a different manner. The additional space makes possible a more advantageous display of ready-to-wear goods, and shopping will be made a joy, instead of a task, members of the store staff, all busy at their own counters these days, explain.

Although the Wetle store is to hold its formal opening tomorrow, this does not mean that the store was closed during the extensive renovation and modernization work. “Business as usual” was the motto of the firm these past three weeks, and patrons were served just as expeditiously as during the 13 years in the old and limited quarters.

SANTIAM PASS OPENING WINS FAVOR IN BEND Directors of the Bend Chamber of Commerce decided today to urge the state highway commission to open a cross-Cascade highway route via the Santiam Pass and the Clear Lake road to the McKenzie highway, rather than to seek immediate opening of McKenzie pass. The views of the Bend businessmen will be presented to the highway commission tomorrow at a special meeting in Portland.

50 YEARS AGO For the week ending April 23, 1961 PAUL HOSMER GETS GOLD OUT OF A LOG Paul Hosmer, editor of the Brooks-Scanlon Pine Echoes for 41 years until his recent retirement, got gold out of a log here Thursday night when he was guest of honor at a surprise dinner sponsored by his BrooksScanlon associates.

It was a dinner that made local history: There were no speeches.

At the end of the dinner, catered by the Pine Tavern and served in the basement quarters of the Elks Hall, Freeman Schultz, BrooksScanlon Inc., general manager, handed Hosmer a piece of a Deschutes pine, about 3 feet long and jagged on both ends.

Hosmer was invited to remove a knotty-appearing plug at one end of the limb. He did, and out came a gold wrist watch, bearing Hosmer’s name and figures showing that he entered the employ of Brooks-Scanlon Inc., on April 24, 1920, and officially ended his services on March 1, 1961.

Actually, Hosmer’s retirement is not 100 percent: He is still contributing editor to Pine Echoes, of which Joe L. Van Worker is now editor.

The dinner, attended by just short of 100 men from many parts of the state, was a real surprise for Hosmer. He had been invited to add his banjo music to that of an improvised orchestra composed of Hugh Amsberry, Earl Roarig, Joe Van Wormer and Scotty Low. Soon, Hosmer discovered he was providing music for his own party, at which John Hollern, president of Brooks-Scanlon Inc., from Minneapolis, Minn., was a special guest.

When Hosmer learned that there were to be no speeches, he made the rounds of the tables, visiting with old-timers, one of whom was J.D. (Doc) Donovan, who came here from Eugene for the dinner. On his rounds, Hosmer took time out to reminisce.

He recalled that his first employer here was The Shevlin-Hixon Company, not Brooks-Scanlon. He had entered the employ of Shevlin-Hixon in Minneapolis in 1912, then came to Bend when that firm started operations on the banks of the Deschutes.

After serving overseas in World War I, Hosmer returned to Bend and Shevlin-Hixon. One morning he recalled, he met John Keyes, first general manager of Brooks-Scanlon here.

“Why don’t you come across the river and join us?” Keyes suggested. Hosmer did, and he remained “across the river” for 41 years.

25 YEARS AGO For the week ending April 23, 1986 HOW MADRAS GOT ITS NAME When Madras celebrates its first 100 years on Feb. 14, 2011,

no one need wonder how it became known as “Madras.”

Buff Elementary School students in Margee Woods’ talented and gifted program resolved that controversy last week in a “How Madras Got Its Name” contest.

A total of 22 entries were judged independently by three judges: retired librarian Myrtis Lewis, former Madras-area school district library media specialist; Pete Carlson, head of the Madras High School English department; and Ted Viramonte, editor of the Madras Pioneer.

Kim Buslach took first place, followed by Jena Herzberg in second place and Ryan Grote in third. All are sixth-graders.

Runners-up were Margie DuRette, Joel Neilson and Jamie Sites.

Here is the winning entry: Around 1908 there were five families living here in Madras.

Their last names were McKnight, Applegate, Darby, Richardson and Anderson. They didn’t have a name for their small town, but they didn’t care too much. So they went on with their “daily deeds” and just called their town “Town,” or “City” or sometimes “Our Town.”

One day, the town council got together and decided they needed a post office. But their town couldn’t go by the name of “Town.”

So they got together to try to think of a good name. For days and days which turned into weeks and weeks, they tried to think up a name, but nothing came up. Although they did think up some wild and crazy names, they couldn’t agree. But somebody came up with the name of Madras.

“So what’s the point?” asked Mr. Applegate. “Well Madras has all of our names in it.” “Huh?” said a very puzzled Mrs. Darby.

“There’s an M for McKnight, A for Applegate, D for Darby, R for Richardson, A for Andrews” “But what about the S?” Sammy Andrews blurted out. “Don’t worry. I’m getting to that! Now, the problem is nobody’s last name in our town begins with S.” Then a voice came from outside of the group, “Wait just a minute!” The whole group turned to face the person. The new person said “My name is Mr. Stone, and I just arrived here from California. “So, if your name is Mr. Stone, we have our S,” our mystery person said.

“Thank goodness,” said a relieved Miss Richardson. “I was beginning to wonder if we would ever find a good name.”

“So, it’s agreed. Our town’s name is Madras.” And that’s the tale of how Madras got its name — Kim Buslach.

Keeper of Teacup Lake trail system set to retire

By Laurie Robinson The Oregonian

MOUNT HOOD — For eight winters, retiree Tom Webb, of Parkdale, has been getting up at 3 a.m. three times a week to groom the cross-country ski trails at Teacup Lake, a volunteer-run trail system on Mount Hood, through snow and sleet and drifts of night.

After he fires up the hulking, tracked machine at 5 a.m., the job usually takes about four hours — but can take up to 10, depending on how deep the snow is, how much it’s blowing and how many passes he has to make to create the parallel tracks that have drawn increasing numbers of nordic skiers to Teacup for years.

While the Teacup Lake Nordic Club pays Webb by the hour for the use of his machine, for the most part the money goes back into the machine, and he donates his labor, he says. “I’m just happy to break even.”

He’s seen blizzards lit up by his overhead lights, early morning alpenglow, cougar tracks and, recently, a mountain beaver.

At the end of this season, which will probably be sometime this month despite the nearly 7 feet of snow still at Teacup, Webb, 68, will call it quits and turn over the keys to a replacement driver.

Cross-country skiers sent a big snowy kiss his way on April

“It’s just about like having a dairy farm, except I don’t have to milk the Pisten Bully.”

— Tom Webb, groomer of Teacup Lake ski trails

15 with a thank-you cake and celebration at the warming cabin at Teacup.

“The guy has just put in so much love and time and effort,” says club president Paul Blackburn, who estimates that Webb has groomed 10,000 kilometers for the club. Aside from waking up at 3 a.m., the love expresses itself in little details such as fixing the machine when it breaks down with the thermometer at 5 degrees.

It also expresses itself in the thrice-weekly e-mails he sends members about conditions and grooming plans. The e-mails are so “lively and inviting and informative,” club board member Sue Seyl says: “‘Come on up, the snow’s great,’ or ‘It’s going to be a beautiful day. Don’t miss it today, bring your friends up.’”

Webb loves watching families bring small kids (“We even have a diaper-changing station at the cabin”), and the color and excitement of the high school races.

Webb started skiing with the Portland chapter of the Oregon Nordic Club in 1981 at a friend’s suggestion. At the time, Webb says, he was divorced, out of shape and a bit of a hermit. After retiring as a sheet metal worker, he moved from Banks to Parkdale.

The grooming at Teacup was less frequent then — the guy doing it lived in Scappoose — so Webb paid $12,000 for a used 1985 Pisten Bully, a snowcat with a 13-foot-wide blade and a Nordic track setter, and took over.

He likes skiing on the tracks that he puts heart and soul into, but even more, he says: “I like driving the machine. It’s fun for me.” When he’s skiing, he says, he thinks like a groomer; when he’s grooming, he thinks like a skier.

With bicycles and lawn mowers calling, trail use starts to drop off around March 1, Webb says, even though the amount of snowpack is substantial. It’s a contrast to this January, when Webb had to put pallets over bare places in the trail and bulldoze snow over it.

Even though he loved grooming, Webb wants to travel and will enjoy not being so tied down in the winter.

“It’s just about like having a dairy farm, except I don’t have to milk the Pisten Bully.”

VENTURA COUNTY, CALIF.

Faulty breathalyzers spur review of 100s of drunken-driving cases The Associated Press LOS ANGELES — Prosecutors in Ventura County will review nearly 300 drunken-driving cases because of problems with a type of breathalyzer used by agencies throughout the county since January.

“Out of an abundance of caution, we’ve suspended doing anything with cases involving these machines,” Deputy District Attorney Michael Frawley said last week.

Frawley said an unknown number of pending cases would be dropped. In 157 of the cases that will be reviewed, defendants have pleaded guilty or no contest.

“It stands to reason,” Frawley said, “that there will be some cases where this was the primary piece of evidence.”

But in many arrests, the handheld Alco-Sensor V was only a “preliminary screening device,” with other tests used to derive blood-alcohol readings, he said.

Defense attorney Darryl Genis said the problem with the devices, acquired with the aid of a state grant, was more systemic than acknowledged by county officials, who said erratic readings had been spotted in only a handful of machines.

‘Half-million on junk’ “They spent a half-million on a bunch of junk, basically,” said Genis, whose entire practice is DUI defense.

The St. Louis-based manufacturer, Intoximeters Inc., was closed Friday, and executives could not be reached for comment.

But in a letter to the Ventura County Sheriff’s Department, Chief Executive M. Rankine Forrester said that preliminary testing suggested a problem in the device’s mouthpiece, which, he said, will be redesigned and subjected to more rigorous testing.

Max Mathews, 84, father of computer music

By William Grimes New York Times News Service

Max Mathews, often called the father of computer music, died Thursday in San Francisco.

He was 84.

The cause was pneumonia, his son Vernon said.

Mathews wrote the first program to make it possible for a computer to synthesize sound and play it back. He also developed several generations of computer-music software and electronic instruments and devices.

He was an engineer at Bell Laboratories in Murray Hill, N.J., in 1957 when he wrote the first version of Music, a program that allowed an IBM 704 mainframe computer to play a 17-second composition of his own devising.

Because computers at the time were so slow, it would have taken an hour to synthesize the piece, so it had to be transferred to tape and then speeded up to the proper tempo. But the experiment proved that sound could be digitized, stored and retrieved.

“The timbres and notes were not inspiring,” Mathews told a conference on computer music at Indiana University in 1997, “but the technical breakthrough is still reverberating.”

At Bell, Mathews developed new generations of Music as well as Groove, the first computer system for live performance.

Music V led to such current programs as Csound, Cmix and MAX, a visual-programming language for music and multimedia originally written in the 1980s and named for Mathews.

The implications of Mathews’ early research reached popular audiences through the 1968 film “2001: A Space Odyssey,” in which the HAL 9000 computer sings “Daisy Bell (A Bicycle Built for Two)” as its cognitive functions are dismantled.

Hazel Dickens, 75, forceful voice of the working class

By Matt Schudel The Washington Post

Hazel Dickens, a troubadour of hard times whose raw, heartfelt songs about coal miners and the life of the downtrodden made her a revered figure in country and bluegrass music, died Friday at the Washington Home hospice in the District of Columbia. She was 75 and had complications from pneumonia.

Dickens, who grew up in a three-room shack in West Virginia’s coal country, was a forceful voice of the working class, singing with unguarded emotion of poverty, labor and loss.

She often appeared at union rallies and benefits for mine workers, and her plaintive singing was heard in the Oscar-winning documentary “Harlan County U.S.A.” (1976) and John Sayles’s 1987 coal-mining drama “Matewan.”

“She is one of the absolutely finest and most authentic singers we have,” music historian Charles Wolfe told The Washington Post in 2001.

“Her singing has not only that ‘high lonesome sound,’ but you can hear the pain and anguish and the anger in it.

It is absolutely heartfelt and sincere.”

Having supported herself since she was 16, Dickens brought a bracing real-world perspective to bluegrass songwriting and was among the first to address the plight of women in the workplace.

She and her onetime singing partner, Alice Gerrard, were identified with the burgeoning women’s movement of the 1960s with such songs as “Working Girl Blues” and “Don’t Put Her Down, You Helped Put Her There,” about a woman mistreated by men.

An autobiographical song Dickens wrote in the early 1980s, “Mama’s Hand,” about leaving a mining town with “one old paper bag full of hand-me-downs,” was named bluegrass song of the year in 1996, after it appeared on an album by the Lynn Morris Band.

Ms. Dickens released a handful of albums during her lifetime — including two with Gerrard and three solo efforts — but she became a favorite performer at folk and bluegrass festivals, and exerted a strong influence on such later singers as Alison Krauss, Emmylou Harris and the Judds.

According to Ken Irwin, a founder of Rounder Records, a tribute album is in preparation, with Dickens’ songs performed by such diverse artists as Harris, Elvis Costello, Linda Ronstadt, Mary Chapin Carpenter and Rosanne Cash. A new album of unreleased music by Dickens is also nearly complete.

Although she made her home in Washington for more than 40 years, Dickens always stayed true to the sound and spirit of the mountains of West Virginia.

Sony chairman credited with developing CDs dies

By Yuri Kageyama The Associated Press

TOKYO — Opera singer Norio Ohga complained about the quality of Sony tape recorders before he was hired by the company, developed the compact disc and championed its superior sound. Love of music steered the former Sony chairman’s career and in turn, he transformed the Japanese electronics maker into a global software and entertainment empire.

The company’s president and chairman from 1982 to 1995, Ohga died Saturday in Tokyo of multiple organ failure, Sony said. He was 81.

The flamboyant music connoisseur steered his work through his love of music. A former opera singer, Ohga insisted the CD be designed at 12 centimeters (4.8 inches) in diameter — or 75 minutes worth of music — to store Beethoven’s Ninth Symphony in its entirety.

From the start, Ohga recognized the potential of the CD’s superior sound quality. In the 1970s, when Ohga insisted CDs would eventually replace record albums, skeptics scoffed. Herbert von Karajan, Stevie Wonder and Herbie Hancock spoke up in defense of Sony’s digital sound.

Sony sold the world’s first CD in 1982, and CDs overtook LP record sales in Japan five years later. The specifications are still used today and fostered the devices developed since.

“It is no exaggeration to attribute Sony’s evolution beyond audio and video products into music, movies and game, and subsequent transformation into a global entertainment leader to Ohga-san’s foresight and vision,” Sony Corp. Chairman and Chief Executive Howard Stringer said Saturday, using the Japanese honorific.

Some decisions made during Ohga’s presidency, such as the $3.4 billion purchase of Hollywood studios Columbia Pictures, were criticized as unwise and costly at the time.

Norio Ohga, former president and chairman of Sony, holds a Sony Mini Disc in New York in 1991. Sony says Ohga, credited with developing the compact disc, died Saturday.

He was 81.

But Ohga’s focus on music, films and video games as a way to enrich the electronics business helped create Sony’s success in his era.

“We are always chasing after things that other companies won’t touch,” Ohga said in a 1998 interview with The Associated Press. “That is a big secret to our success.”

Shattering the stereotype of the staid Japanese executive, the debonair Ohga was never shy, his hair neatly slicked back, his boisterous manner exuding the fiery yet naive air of an artist. His persona added a touch of glamour to Sony’s image at a time when Japan had global ambitions.

An experienced pilot, Ohga at times flew the plane himself for business trips. A gourmet, he boasted about his roast beef. His hobby was cruising on his yacht.

Chairman of the Tokyo Philharmonic Orchestra since 1999, he continued to conduct there a few times a year. In 1993, he conducted the Metropolitan Opera Orchestra at Lincoln Center’s Avery Fisher Hall in a charity event funded by Sony.

Ohga often compared leading a company to conducting an orchestra.

“Just as a conductor must work to bring out the best in the members of his orchestra, a company president must draw on the talents of the people in his organization,” Ohga said in a 1996 Sony publication.

Sony started amid the destruction and poverty after World War II and built itself on the popularity of transistor radios, the Walkman, the Trinitron TV, the CD — shaping the history of modern electronics.

Ohga had graduated from Tokyo National University of Fine Arts and Music in 1953 and Berlin University of the Arts in 1957.

He was set to pursue a career as a baritone opera singer when Sony co-founders Masaru Ibuka and Akio Morita, intrigued by his complaints about the sound quality of Sony tape recorders, recruited him to the company.

He was a Sony executive by his 30s, a rarity in a Japanese company. He was appointed president of CBS Sony Records in 1970, chairman of what later became Sony Corp. of America in 1988, and chief executive of Sony in 1989. He left the day-today business in about 2000.

NMLS 57716

Louise Isabel Massey Louise was born November 5, 1914, in the town of Massey, Pittsburg County, Oklahoma. Her father, Edmund N Massey, was 1/2 Choctaw Indian, and her mother, Hallie Pace, was part Cherokee. Louise was one of seven children: Juanita, Bob, Oliver, Fred, Mark and Hoyt. They farmed, grew cotton and vegetables and raised milk cows, pigs, and chickens. The Massey’s moved to Crowder, OK, where Louise walked with her brothers two miles to school. As a young girl, she sang in the church choir and showed an early gift for music. Her uncle, Fred Pace, a fiddler, taught Louise to chord on the piano and accompany him. She learned to play church hymns by ear. Before long, Louise was playing piano for two churches on Sunday mornings and for the silent movies on weekends.

Louise received a high school diploma in 1934, followed by a degree from Bacone Junior College in 1937. She received a Bachelor of Music Education degree from Oklahoma College for Women in 1939. She studied piano and classical voice and worked to support her education. Louise was the Music Director at Bacone before she joined the Navy in WWII, serving as a Wave. As a Wave, she toured with the Navy choir. Louise developed a beautiful soprano voice and sang opera as well as church hymns. She sang for First Lady Eleanor Roosevelt while at OCW. Louise became the soloist for the First Christian Church in Oklahoma City, and sang for Roy Rogers’ wedding.

After WWII, Louise took a job at the Bureau of Indian Affairs (BIA) headquarters in Chicago, IL. She visited the Warm Springs Indian Reservation in Oregon to sing at her younger brother, Mark Massey’s wedding in 1947. Soon after, she got a job teaching at the BIA’s reservation school. In later years, her students often reminded Louise how much they learned in her music class. Former student, Sam Colwash would sing the “Do Re Mi’s” to Louise whenever he met her in public places, much to “Miss Massey’s” delight.

Louise met Vernon Jackson, a Wasco Indian and a bowling buddy of her brother, Mark. They fell in love and married in 1949. She and Vern had four children between 1950 and 1954, when Louise and their family moved to Eugene, OR, so he could attend the University of Oregon. During the next four years, she raised her children and helped Vern complete his degree. After Vern’s graduation in 1958, the family moved to Madras, OR, where Louise resumed teaching at the BIA school in Warm Springs. Realizing that the BIA couldn’t provide reservation youth with a high quality education, she helped Vern and other Tribal leaders persuade the State of Oregon to assume that responsibility. In 1961, Louise became the first BIA teacher hired by Jefferson County School District 509J and continued to teach 3rd grade and music at Warm Springs Elementary. During the summer of 1962, she attended the U of O and earned her State Teaching Certificate.

Vern died suddenly in December, 1969, leaving her to raise the children by herself on a grade school teacher’s salary.

Mrs. Jackson was strict, set high standards and expected her children and students alike to meet them. She taught grade school and music at Warm Springs, Madras, and finally, Metolius schools, until she retired in 1977.

Louise always kept herself busy. She joined the First Christian Church congregations in Eugene, and Madras, OR, and sang in their choirs. Louise sang in Christmas and Easter pageants, her voice always clear and true. To supplement her teacher’s salary, Louise distributed Amway products. During her retirement years she enjoyed the company of the Warm Springs Community Fitness Groups, traveling with a Warm Springs exercise troupe of mostly seniors.

Louise was a staunch supporter of her husband, Vern’s career and extended that same support to her children’s endeavors. She had an outgoing personality and was a good conversationalist. Louise often was hostess to dignitaries who Vern courted to support his reservation development projects at Warm Springs. She would receive an afternoon call from Vern that the Governor or a Congressional representative would be joining the family for dinner and staying overnight. Louise was famous for her great coffee, homemade biscuits and jam, which she always seemed to be able to make at the drop of a hat.

Louise was a strong advocate of community service. She and Vern together were able to convince many of his business colleagues and government officials to donate their time and use their positions to help the people of Warm Springs.

Louise and Vern distributed gifts of food, clothing and other assistance throughout the Warm Springs Community in the 1950s and 1960s before the Tribe’s economic development boom.

Louise was a role model for many youngsters at Warm Springs. She encouraged all to dream big dreams, never say “I can’t”, to finish their education and go on to college. Former Oregon Governor Mark Hatfield appointed Louise to the first Governor’s Commission for Women which gave her a platform to advocate for Indian women and children’s rights.

One of Louise’s few flaws was her “lead foot” on the gas pedal. She was often ticketed by the local sheriff for speeding, sometimes on her way to church. Louise never threw anything away on purpose and, without realizing it herself, was probably one of the very first “recyclers”.

Louise passed away on Friday, March 25, 2011, at the age of 96. She was preceded in death by her husband, her parents and all of her siblings. She is survived by her children, Charles, Deborah, Anita and Mark, by her grandchildren, Kahseuss, Michael, Turina, Vernon, Aiyana, Kalliah and Halona, her great-grandchildren, Nieman, Jadyn and Warren, as well as numerous nieces, nephews and cousins scattered from Vermont and Virginia to Texas and California.

Funeral services were held on April 1, 2011. In lieu of flowers, her family requests that donations be made to support the Presbyterian Mission at Warm Springs, Oregon.

Continued from B1 They have already resolved to break their record again next year.

Of the 28 diaper-changers at Bambini of Bend, most pointed to the waste generated by the use of disposable diapers.

Miranda Crown said she didn’t feel good about the prospect of sending thousands of disposable diapers to the landfill when her son Sawyer was born. A lot of people told her she’d never be able to do it, but Crown said she’s found Bend to be a supportive place for the less than 10 percent of parents who choose cloth diapering.

“We don’t consider ourselves hard-core about everything, but that was just a nonnegotiable, and it’s worked out pretty well,” she said.

Jennifer Bizjak’s son Coultan is her second child to be brought up in cloth diapers. She said she was forced to use disposable diapers only once, on a camping trip, and was sufficiently shocked by the cost never to go back. Aside from an extra load of laundry a week, it’s been easy, she said.

Bambini owner Chelsea Tyler said the record attempt is a fun way of getting cloth diaper enthusiasts together and raising awareness of the environmental impact of disposable diapers. Diapers are believed to be second only behind food waste in terms of the volume of garbage sent to landfills in the United States, she said. But they don’t decompose nearly as quickly.

“The average newborn can go through 10 to 12 diapers a day,” Tyler said. “When you think about that times how many babies there are and how many days there are, that adds up to a big, big number.”

Continued from B1 Kee is affiliated with the Oregon Manufacturing Extension Partnership, a nonprofit consulting group that will provide lean manufacturing and other training for several of the grant recipients.

Another grant recipient is Sistech Manufacturing, a Bend high-tech company that makes circuit boards. Sistech will use the money to train employees to do military and medical-grade assembly work, said company Vice President Brad Kennedy.

“If our employees can’t get up to par, it could lead to termination,” he said. But had Sistech

The Bulletin was unable to view the full applications of companies seeking funding.

Grant requests were discussed and judged in an open meeting Wednesday. Following that meeting, The Bulletin requested the companies’ applications.

Officials with the Central Oregon Intergovernmental Council released the applications, but obscured the names and addresses of the companies making the requests.

Search for missing couple winds down The Associated Press BAKER CITY — An extensive search has failed to turn up any sign of a British Columbia couple who disappeared in Oregon on their way to Las Vegas.

Oregon State Police, Royal Canadian Mounted Police and other law enforcement agencies continue to look for Albert and Rita Chretien, of Penticton, although tips have dropped off, and the ground search has been scaled back.

The Oregonian reported ve-

hicles and aircraft have covered 3,000 miles of roads.

Pilots have peered into the Burnt and Snake rivers, looking for their van.

Following freeways exclusively, they could have driven through parts of Oregon, Idaho, Utah, Arizona and Nevada.

The couple were last seen March 19 stopping for gas in Baker City.

Police say the van may have left the road and come to rest out of sight.

Getting their chance to see

Riding to the rhythm of a dusty zydeco trail

By Shaila Dewan New York Times News Service

Alex Nelson, 12, helps his sister Scarlet Nelson, 8, play with a bucket of fake snow during a Science, Art, and Social Studies Club at the High Desert Museum last month.

High Desert Museum gives access to kids with disabilities

I had never noticed how closely the syncopated rhythm of zydeco music echoes the rollicking stumble of horses on rough terrain. But on a September afternoon in the piney woods of Evangeline Parish, in Louisiana’s Cajun country, with hundreds of dusty horseback riders moving down a narrow trail, the kinship was impossible to miss. As the horses followed a tractor towing a DJ and a zydeco-blaring sound system, they bucked and swayed in a cadence fit for the barroom floors of Lafayette, 70 miles away.

Eventually the riders — young and old, encumbered by cold beers or small children — reached a large clearing in the middle of the woods, which quickly filled with horses, flatbeds, wagons and buggies as the music continued to throb. People sold barbecue sandwiches and turkey legs from the backs of pickup trucks.

A group of women piled out of a wagon and serenely performed a line dance in the dust.

SPOTLIGHT

Nelson commented about how sweet her kids looked.

Fly-fishing trips to be auctioned

On the top of the beaver’s den climbed 6-year-old Maya, with her mother, Wendy Andrick, hovering close by, as most mothers do when their children could fall. With Maya, however, the risk is probably higher than average because she is mostly blind.

It’s unusually quiet and calm this morning at the museum, compared with what is typically a loud, chaotic and rowdy scene. Only three or four kids are vying for the slide or pretending to be birds in the giant nest in the “Whose Home?” area.

That’s because the museum is actually closed, and these kids have it all to themselves.

A better view With instigation from parents, the High Desert Museum has developed a monthly program called the Science, Art, and Social Studies Club, for kids ages 4 to 10 who have any disabilities. It’s held early in the morning before the museum opens. Sometimes the kids are allowed special privileges, such as touching the butterflies, which are generally off-limits, or watching the bobcat and lynx eat their breakfasts (chicken and mice).

It’s extraordinarily difficult for a child in a wheelchair, or a child who is blind, to get up close to the exhibits and interactive displays on a typical day at the museum when the place is packed with kids running, jumping and crowding each other.

Like many adults, the kids lack awareness that for some kids with

Scarlet’s health was normal until she had a stroke at 18 months old and developed cerebral palsy, Nelson explained.

High Desert Museum special programs The monthly Science, Art, and Social Studies Club generally fills up each week, and future sessions were almost full as of earlier this week.

Registration is required. Contact Susan Grasser, assistant curator of education programs, sgrasser@highdesertmuseum.org or 541-382-4754, ext. 329.

April 30: The theme is “The Bone Zone.” Almost everybody has bones. Birds, bears and bobcats do. What about you? Let’s look at the different types of bones and why our bones are important.

May 14: The theme is “Volcano Country.” A special focus on Volcano Country, a new, explosive, interactive exhibit.

All classes are 8:30 to 10 a.m. They are free to anyone, regardless of museum membership.

Classes will not be held over the summer but will resume in the fall.

The Deschutes River Conservancy at its upcoming fundraiser will auction off fly-fishing trips for a 40-mile section of the Deschutes River on Confederated Tribes of Warm Springs property that is normally off-limits.

The Tribes, which helped found the conservancy in 1996, granted the organization special access to the sacred stretch of water to help support the organization. The trips will launch Sept. 17.

These trips and other items will be auctioned off May 6 at the organization’s Tight Lines Auction and BBQ Dinner at Aspen Hall in Bend’s Shevlin Park.

The event starts at 5:30 p.m. Tickets cost $50 for individuals or $500 per table.

Brian O’Keefe of Catch Magazine will be the featured speaker.

Proxy bids are allowed in the auction, although bidders must call to register. Bidders may view merchandise and trips in advance on the Deschutes River Conservancy’s website.

The Deschutes River Conservancy is a nonprofit organization that works to improve streamflow and water quality in the basin.

Contact: www.deschutesriver.org or 541-3824077, ext. 10.

Volunteer Connect to hold forum Volunteer Connect is inviting the public to its annual service learning forum, where students share stories about learning through service projects. Students will share stories of projects in Heart of Oregon Corps, Seven Peaks School and Westside Village Magnet School.

The event will be held Thursday from 5:30 to 7:30 p.m. at Bend’s Community Center, 1036 N.E. Fifth St. Volunteer Connect is a Central Oregon nonprofit that connects volunteers with service opportunities. More information can be found at www.volunteerconnectnow.org.

Man with few friends doesn’t want more Dear Abby: I am a nice, charming, likable young man in my mid-20s. I have almost no friends.

I rarely see the ones I do have because they don’t live in my province. I can count the number of people I consider friends on one hand. I am close with my family, though none of them lives close enough to see regularly. I work from home, so there’s no one I come in contact with daily except my husband, whom I love dearly.

I know there are things I could do to meet more people and make friends, but I don’t really want to.

Maintaining friendships feels like more work than it’s worth to me. I don’t dislike people and I’m certainly not a snob. But when I have a conversation, it feels like I’m trying to be interesting for their sake and I don’t really care about them, and I wonder why they seem to care about me.

I’m not bitter or lonely, but I don’t think this is normal. Should I accept that this is who I am, or should I worry?

— Loner in Toronto Dear Loner: Excuse me, but there are contradictions in your letter. If you weren’t concerned that there was something to worry about, you wouldn’t have written to me. Now it’s time for you to talk to a counselor and take a deeper look at what’s really going on. My intuition tells me there may be issues you need to address.

Dear Abby: I was in a long-term relationship with a man who died recently. After his death I found out he had other girlfriends while he was with me. It turns out he was a con man who used women. I am stunned, sad, hurt, angry and feel like a fool.

When people who knew us as a couple see me, they ask about him. When I say he died, they respond by offering condolences over “my loss.” Should I thank them for their kindness and leave it at that, or should I tell them the truth about him so they won’t Self Referrals Welcome

Front-wheel drive, back-seat romps Former ’90s heartthrob Jason Priestley stars in new series ‘Call Me Fitz’

New York Times News Service

waste time feeling bad about his demise?

— Tricked in Richmond, Va. Dear Tricked: If it will make you feel better to vent, do it. However, if rehashing the unhappy details would make you feel worse, keep them to yourself.

Dear Abby: I have been dealing with an anxiety disorder I thought I had beaten. I hadn’t had an attack in years, until I found myself having one recently at the gym. I ran to the dressing room in tears to battle it out, and was practicing breathing deeply when I spotted something shiny in the far corner of the room. I immediately flashed on the “pennies from heaven” letters I have read in your column and, still crying, went to see what it was. As soon as I saw it was a penny, I felt calmer.

Abby, I haven’t lost anyone close who might have sent me a penny, but when I picked it up it had the year of my birth on it. I understood then it was intended for me, and my anxiety dissipated.

I’m confused, though. Is this something our guardian angels share amongst themselves, or did an unknown angel take pity on me?

— Jennifer in Ontario, Canada Dear Jennifer: The subject of guardian angels is a spiritual one — and very personal. I believe that some of us have guardian angels right here on Earth watching over us as well as those from above. And if one of them had a spare moment, it wouldn’t be atypical to help out someone in a (penny) pinch.

Like Rob Lowe before he materialized on “The West Wing” more than a decade ago, Jason Priestley has seemed to be the kind of fine-vintage pretty boy who might be ripe for resurrection. His era was the ’90s, when he reigned among the troubled affluent on “Beverly Hills 90210.” Since the 2000 conclusion of that series, in which he played the upright and pompadour-possessing Brandon Walsh, Priestley has made minor appearances on television — as a guest star on NBC’s “My Name Is Earl,” as a principal on the short-lived ABC series “Scoundrels” and Lifetime’s “Side Order of Life” — but he has been given nothing comparable to the vehicle he now has in the comedy “Call Me Fitz.”

A Canadian series that became enormously popular in its home country, “Call Me Fitz” will be shown here on DirecTV (beginning last Thursday), which is a shame because satellite television is hardly a chicken-in-every-pot delivery system. DirecTV’s Channel 101, where the series will appear, has become a tempting little

DirecTV Channel 101, Thursday nights at 9 Created and written by Sheri Elwood; Elwood, Teza Lawrence, Michael Souther and David MacLeod, executive producers. Produced by Amaze Film + Television and Entertainment One Cast: Jason Priestley (Richard Fitzpatrick), Ernie Grunwald (Larry), Peter MacNeill (Ken Fitzpatrick), Kathleen Munroe (Ali Devon), Tracy Dawson (Meghan Fitzpatrick), Brooke Nevin (Sonja Lester), Donavon Stinson (Josh McTaggart) and Gillian Ferrier (Kara)

minx begging us away from cable. It had the fourth and fifth seasons of “Friday Night Lights” before they appeared on NBC, and it signed on to provide a home to the legal thriller “Damages” last year, after the series was foolishly dropped by FX. With “Call Me Fitz,” DirecTV continues to demonstrate its sharp instincts.

Created by Sheri Elwood with a refreshingly original conceit, the series uses Priestley’s youthful soap-star persona to play on a collective wish that high school peaking and good looks can serve only as a gateway to dissipation. A sexaddicted, substance-abusing used-car salesman — Charlie Sheen without the capital — his Richard Fitzpatrick seems to throw in a back-seat tumble to close the deal with any woman hovering around the purchase of a Taurus. As it happens, most women who show up at his lot find this to be a more effective incentive than a loan with a reduced APR. Priestley arrives for the performance properly bleary eyed and bloated, and with a distinct affinity for playing a low-rent heartthrob. Fitz works at his father’s auto dealership, where he is paid largely in vitriol. Not long after landing a female customer in a coma during a test drive, an act for which he tries to cover up his complicity, Fitz finds a gratingly upbeat new colleague named Larry (Ernie Grunwald), who seems to know way too much about him. Larry is, in fact, not really a person at

all but rather the embodiment of Fitz’s conscience, a spirit force who has turned up to initiate a program of moral reform no matter how dim the prospects.

Judging from the first two episodes, “Call Me Fitz” seems trustworthy, which is to say that it does not seem likely to submit its title character to a radical rehabilitation. It stands in the vein of programming that commits itself more or less entirely to the disagreeable nature of the people in it.

“Call Me Fitz” takes at least one too-gross, too-graphic turn, which may or may not be a harbinger of future scenery. The show is in some respects a raunchier version of “Hung,” the HBO series that similarly seeks to degrade its male lead by appointing him as a salesman of sex and setting his debasement within the bleak context of the auto industry. The recessionary mood that pervades “Hung” is absent here; “Call Me Fitz” doesn’t tax its thinking mechanisms, a fact for which we are not ungrateful.

Instead it deftly draws a world in which sin and sexual charisma come at full new-model cost.

Tanner is a wonderful 7-year-old Hound mix that was surrendered to the shelter because his previous owner was having difficulties containing him. True to his breed Tanner loves to be outdoors and loves to run. Hounds are very scent driven and love to follow their nose, because of this they aren’t the most reliable dogs off leash. If you think that Tanner would fit into your home, come down and adopt this wonderful dog today!

Grammy Museum branching out to Mississippi site

By Emily Wagster Pettus The Associated Press

JACKSON, Miss. — A Grammy museum will be built in Mississippi, the hub of the Delta blues.

Bob Santelli, executive director of the Grammy Museum in Los Angeles, announced Thursday that the museum’s first branch outside California will be built in Cleveland, Miss.

“The state of Mississippi is the cradle of American music,” Santelli said.

He announced the project in Jackson during the annual meeting of the Mississippi Economic Council, a state chamber of commerce. He received a standing ovation from Gov. Haley Barbour and more than 1,000 business people.

Santelli said no timetable has been established for the new museum, which has an estimated cost of $10 million to $12 million.

Mississippi already has a Delta Blues Museum in Clarksdale and a B.B. King Museum in Indianola. Both are near Cleveland.

The state is also home of sev-

eral noted blues clubs, including Ground Zero in Clarksdale, which is co-owned by actor Morgan Freeman.

Over the last several years, Mississippi has been encouraging blues tourism by placing historical markers at juke joints and other sites that were pivotal to development of the genre.

The state is the birthplace of several Grammy winners, including gravelly voiced blues pianist Pinetop Perkins, who died at age 97 last month at his home in Austin, Texas. Perkins, whose real first name was Willie, grew up playing in clubs set among the Delta’s cotton fields.

The Grammy Mississippi museum will form a partnership with the Delta Music Institute at Delta State University in Cleveland, Santelli said.

C OV ER S T ORY

Zydeco Continued from C1 Young people sang and flirted and held up their beers with a “Wooo!”

The clearing was the halfway point of the Pineywoods Trail Ride, one of a circuit of zydeco trail rides that take place in the countryside around Lafayette and in many parts of Texas from Mardi Gras through early December. Exuberant, untouched by corporate sponsors and run by a close-knit network of people who price their beer at $2 a can, the rides are a traditional way to celebrate the cowboy culture of rural blacks or Creoles (commonly understood as a mixture of black with French, Spanish and/or Native American ancestry).

Gradual evolution Originally small affairs among relatives and neighbors, the rides have evolved over decades into organized events with a dedicated following, though they have remained largely unknown to outsiders. In recent years, trail rides have surged in popularity among rural youth, as zydeco musicians have incorporated strains of R&B and hip-hop, attracting a new generation for whom Creole is suddenly cool.

The Pineywoods ride, for which more than 2,000 people gathered over the course of three days, started and ended on a farm with an open-sided pavilion that, by the end, would be in a sorry shambles — its benches broken from the weight of people climbing up to get a look at the musicians, an industrial-size Dumpster outside overflowing with the detritus of revelry. It would be a huge, weird, milesfrom-nowhere party, one that I had fantasized about for nearly five years.

Seeking the trail In July 2006, when my friend Lisa D’Amour and I embarked on a long, music-seeking weekend with Lafayette as our base, all we knew about zydeco trail rides had been gleaned from an endearingly amateurish Louisiana music fan site: They existed, they took place regularly on Sundays somewhere in the area and to find one, you might try listening to the local Cajun radio program. There was no mention of the fact that the program was in French.

Neither a more extensive Internet search nor the local newspapers got us any further. But the more elusive zydeco trail rides seemed, the more important it became to find one, even if it meant wasting an entire day.

We began our search with an inquiry at Prejean’s, a Cajun restaurant in Lafayette with a stuffed alligator in the entry-

Stupid questions are not a rarity at Prejean’s, but our waiter was stumped. Finally, he suggested we take a half-hour drive to Lawtell, the home of iconic zydeco clubs like the Offshore Lounge.

Lafayette is a small city, and you don’t have to go far in any direction before things turn very country, as in gas-station boudin and music venues that are open only on Saturday mornings.

Travel south or east, and you will soon see signs for swamp tours; go north, toward Lawtell and Opelousas, and it’s scrub, forest and farms. We knew we had arrived when we saw a hand-painted sign: “Welcome

to Lawtell, Home of the Town and Country Riders.” We found an old store that sold bait and rusty key chains, but when we mentioned trail rides, the white man behind the counter gave us a blank look.

At another gas station, a black cashier was more helpful, pointing us to an inebriated man buying a Sunday morning case of beer, who kindly led us to a large shade tree where a man was shoeing a horse. Several other men were hanging around, one of whom wore a rodeo championship belt buckle as big as a chicken-fried steak. Lisa and I looked at each other and grinned.

These men, we soon learned, were not the Lawtell Town and Country Riders, now defunct,

but a different club, the Lawtell Low Riders. And yes, they could take us to a trail ride.

The riding clubs, we came to understand, are a fixture of life in Acadiana, the part of southern Louisiana named for the exiled French Canadians who settled it.

Here, even Mardi Gras is traditionally celebrated on horseback; the riders are masked. The clubs are a formalization of the loose confederacies that developed among rural African-Americans out of kinship, friendship or necessity. The rides themselves have their roots in country traditions like boucheries, or hog butcherings.

Nowadays the clubs form the organizational core of the zydeco trail rides, competing to attract the most riders and hire the best bands and DJs. Die-hard riders will bring their horses out every weekend, even if it means towing them across state lines, but most rides remain obscure to outsiders. Even a popular one like the Step-N-Strut, held in St. Landry Parish in early November, which has evolved into a multiday music festival that attracts thousands of people, is still not well known outside the circuit.

The clubs strive to set their rides apart — Pineywoods, for example, is known for using an actual trail instead of backcountry roads. But they do have certain things in common: Each begins and ends at a church, community center or private parcel of land, sometimes with a pavilion built for dancing.

Middle of nowhere Our new friend the horseshoe man, whose name was Paul Young, disappeared for a good while and returned with his family (son Paul and daughter Paula) and a trailer full of horses. First we followed him in one direction, seeing nothing but farmland and fishing holes. Then he turned around and went the other direction for an even longer ride. Later it was explained that he had changed plans after learning that the first ride had been canceled, but the detour gave Lisa and me ample time to consider what we were doing: following a bunch of men we had just met across two parishes to the middle of nowhere.

Just as a sense of doom was sinking in, we pulled off onto a dirt road, passed a chicken coop and saw three runaway horses with men in pursuit. A guy stationed at the gate collected $5 a

head as we passed.

The trail ride had already begun, so there was a scramble to saddle up the horses. Soon, we were headed down a country road at a fast clip. It was hot, and someone reached into a saddlebag and handed me a Coors Light, which bubbled over and spattered on the ground as I tried to drink and ride onehanded. (Note: Saddles are not equipped with cup holders.)

Soon we caught up to the other riders: at least a couple hundred people on horseback; a horsedrawn buggy with red wheels and black tufted upholstery; and a wagon or two loaded up with coolers and people. (One flatbed trailer carried a portable toilet.)

In the middle of it all was an old, slowly coasting yellow and white truck with a rabbit painted on the side, outfitted front and back with speakers, out of which issued the familiar canter of zydeco. Lisa and I were as awed as if we had unwittingly stumbled across Burning Man

while trekking in the Black Rock Desert.

We had spent the previous two days hearing music in the area, and had begun to grasp the differences between the two kinds of music that are essential to the identity of Acadiana.

Cajun music, a mournful back porch music of waltzes and fiddles, is still largely the province of white musicians. Zydeco, a more upbeat, catchy genre, is played mostly by blacks. It uses the accordion and washboard, more often called a scrubboard, and went mainstream in the mid-1980s with the help of the hit song “My Toot Toot” and the Dennis Quaid movie “The Big Easy.”

Perhaps because of the movie, many people associate zydeco with New Orleans. But zydeco is country music, created by Creole cowboys. The zydeco rides in Texas are a direct result of pollination by Louisiana Creoles, who went there to do seasonal farm work and brought the music along.

Much later, as my interest in trail rides grew keener, I called the owner of the yellow truck, Frank Malbrough Jr., at his home in Church Point, La. Malbrough, 79, is known as the Breadman because of his truck’s former service at a Bunny Bread bakery. He claims to have attended a ride every weekend of the season since 1985.

“Trail rides used to be a neighbor thing,” he said. “I got a horse, you got a horse — these guys worked on horseback in the rice harvesting. They started mixing with that horse on Sundays, then they would meet and ride in the woods and have a good time. Trail riding became a family affair.”

Finding a trail ride

Photos by Lee Celano / New York Times News Service

A trail rider greets visitors last fall during the Pineywoods Trail Ride event in Beaver, La. From previous page There is no telling, according to this history, when the first zydeco trail ride officially occurred. But the rides ended, as they do now, in music and dancing, at a church or on someone’s porch. The Breadman takes credit for the innovation of bringing the music along on the ride itself, first with a borrowed boombox and later with the Bread Truck, purchased in the mid-1980s.

Traditions After several hours of following the Bread Truck, we all returned to the farm where we started. Under the shelter of what seemed like a picnic pavilion at a public park, a zydeco band played through a late afternoon rainstorm, and everybody danced. The ride, and all that went with it, encapsulated everything we loved about Louisiana, whose most inviolable traditions are built around enjoyment and leisure; where proud strangers will lend you a horse and hand you a cold beer not because they have a reputation of hospitality to uphold but because it would be a blot on their honor if you did not have fun; and where things coalesce not because of anything you or I might recognize as organization, but according to their own internal logic. With a little luck we had been welcomed into an afternoon of unmediated Creole culture. This was the side of Louisiana that anthropologists love to study, but I love to visit.

Joe Fontenot, 65, was famous in his youth for riding a pet bull.

He can remember capturing wild horses by dropping from a tree onto their backs. On his farm, he raises horses, naked-neck chickens and the guinea hens he says make for better gumbo.

Driving from Lafayette late on a Friday evening last September, I found the Fontenot farm by following cardboard signs that pointed the way. Ever since that first ride, I had wanted to attend another, but had not really known where to start. When I searched Google for “zydeco trail ride,” I found a forum whose most recent post was two years old, some YouTube videos of trail rides past and a 1989 album by Boozoo Chavis, the zydeco star.

Frustrating as it may be to interested outsiders, riding clubs still rely primarily on a tried-andtrue advertising method: distributing fliers to trail riders at trail rides.

I made some calls and finally got in touch with Torry Lemelle, who runs the Step-N-Strut and whose husband, Dave, is the president of Border2Border, one of two main Louisiana riding club associations. She told me that the Pineywoods ride, held in Beaver, La., on Labor Day weekend, had been run by the Fontenot family for 25 years, and gave me a number to call. Ultimately, this led me to the farm’s gate, where I leaned out my car window and paid $20 for a weekend pass.

I had been delayed by a hurricane on the East Coast, so spent part of the evening nursing my disappointment that I had missed the free supper of cochon de lait — marinated suckling pig that had roasted all day in a metal box, or a “Cajun microwave,” as the Fontenots call it.

Live music At first, the feel was a lot like that of the 2006 ride — the farm, the dance pavilion (where at least seven varieties of Boone’s Farm wine were on offer), the RVs and horse trailers lining the grounds in a vast encampment.

There would be live bands all three nights, and I watched as the serious dancers took advantage of the one night when the floor would not be overcrowded.

A determined young woman

chomped her gum in time to JoJo Reed and the Happy Hill Band as she and her partner covered great swaths of dance floor, never pausing for breath.

On Saturday morning, adults hunched over domino games or tended to the ribs, gumbo or backbone stew they were cooking at their campsites, while children played and rode bareback.

But as cars and campers steadily poured into the grounds, an influx that would continue right up to the start of the main trail ride on Sunday, the place took on a different feel. At my first ride, I had noticed a lot of old-timers — “originals,” they call themselves — wearing, as Joe Fontenot did, pressed Western shirts and string ties.

But at the Pineywoods ride, as more and more young people crowded the grounds, I noticed cargo shorts and rubber-soled boots with brightly colored uppers, some with an accumulation of paper wristbands from previous rides threaded through the

pull straps in a display of trail ride status.

Virtually everyone wore Tshirts proclaiming their allegiance to a particular riding club: the No Limit Riders of Mamou, La., the Spare Time Riders of New Roads, the Hip Hop Ghetto Riders of Breaux Bridge. I counted upward of 50 riding clubs, though a few of them didn’t seem to bother with actual horses.

I also heard, between bands, the DJs play something I hadn’t heard at the earlier ride: the occasional hip-hop track (Lil Boosie, a Baton Rouge rapper, was a favorite). In fact, several attendees credited the surge in popularity of the rides to zydeco musicians like Brian Jack and Chris Ardoin, who have given the music a more contemporary feel. On Saturday night, Brian Jack would pack the pavilion, getting a loud cheer when he asked, “How many cowgirls you got out there?”

I met Arloe Fontenot, a 32year-old member of the extended

Zydeco trail rides take place primarily in Louisiana and Texas.

Two of the biggest zydeco trail ride associations in Louisiana, which serve as umbrella groups for the clubs, are the Border2Border Trail Ride Association and the Rainbow Trail Ride Association, both of which include Texas rides on their calendars.

Their 2011 schedules are posted at billpicketttrail riders.com/Border2BorderTrail-Ride-Assoc.html and marcsobers.com/trailride _schedule.html. There are a lot of TBAs on those schedules, but I found updated information for rides in the next couple of months at zydecoevents .com/trailriders.html.

In Louisiana, the ride itself is held on Sunday; in Texas, it is often on Saturday with a rodeo on Sunday (and Louisiana folk will tell you that the food is not as good).

If you do not have a horse, you can ride on a wagon; often at least one of these belongs to the ride organizers. Let them know you are a first-timer.

Fontenot clan, whose members, many of whom have green eyes, range in appearance from fair to dark. “When we were young, we fell into a middle ground in terms of race,” Arloe said. He added, good-naturedly, “Now everyone wants to be Creole, meaning everyone wants to have some freaking boots on and play zydeco in their car and go to one trail ride and call themselves Creole.” This yearning apparently applies to whites as well — I noticed a more racially diverse crowd than I had in 2006, when Lisa and I were the only nonblacks in attendance.

Chris Ardoin & NuStep perform for trail riders at the Pineywoods Trail Ride event last fall in Beaver, La.

People dance after the Pineywoods Trail Ride event last fall in Beaver, La. Riders, told me that all any newcomer needs is “the boots, the belt, the spurs and the trail rider shirt,” adding, “They can make their own.”

From a food truck, I bought a dozen tamales, made by Fontenot’s sister-in-law and served with saltine crackers and hot sauce, for $8. As I strolled the grounds, I met mail carriers and pipe fitters, a man called Mule who made extra money shoeing horses, and a bank teller named Angela Deculus, who patiently taught me the basic zydeco dance step. Zydeco dancers swear this step is all you need to know, but I have learned it countless times, only to be bootscooted right off the floor. Figuring out what people are doing with their feet when they zydeco is like trying to determine whether all of a horse’s hooves leave the ground as it gallops.

But I still love to watch, especially the people who grew up dancing in this music-steeped

culture. The older couples meld as if they had been specially machined to perform in unison; the younger couples clasp hands as they move one way, only to drop them on the return with inimitable insouciance. You can almost see the church halls, the linoleum floors, the lessons from grandpa, the generations that precede each particular dance — see the music moving through the blood. These dancers zydeco the way they sit a horse.

First, let’s get this straight: It’s Catherine with a C, not Kate with a K. That’s how the young woman who becomes HRH Princess William of Wales on Friday prefers to be addressed.

Which tells you something about her style even if you haven’t joined the throngs already dissecting her outfits or rushing to copy them: She’s a proper sort.

Her fashion aesthetic, if you need a label, leans toward what Huffington Post’s royal expert, Yvonne Yorke, calls “modern Sloane Ranger.�

William’s mother, the late Princess Diana, was an archetypal Sloane Ranger when she joined Great Britain’s royal family in the early 1980s.

It’s essentially Brit prep, with key pieces such as fitted blazers, riding boots, country tweeds and discreet jewelry, worn with a fresh face and glossy hair.

Fashion insiders who think royal closets should be more creative — including the wildly colorful British designer Vivienne Westwood — have suggested Middleton dresses too conservatively.

Houston-based public relations executive Maggi Jones, who’s from Great Britain, also finds Middleton’s style “achingly appropriate.� “She’s wearing the uniform,� Jones noted. “She’s a perfect clotheshorse — tall, thin, with beautiful skin and wonderful hair. I’m sure she’s not wanting to stand out or draw bad media, but I hope she’ll be more adventurous

later. She could revitalize the U.K. fashion industry.�

Yorke, who last weekend identified little-known British designer Sophie Cranston as the likely designer of Middleton’s wedding gown, likes what she sees. “Catherine has, in general, quite classic tastes which will serve her well as a member of the royal family,� Yorke said in a phone interview. “You don’t want to be looking back at photos in 10 or 20 years and going, ‘What was I thinking?’ So it’s good that she stays away from overly trendy styles. “Looking ladylike never goes out of style. The key for any royal is to dress appropriately for the event, not be a fashion trend-setter.�

The Easter Sunday quandary: Can you wear jeans to church?

By Kristi L. Gustafson Albany Times Union

ALBANY, N.Y. — I had to attend a wake recently. After getting out of work later than anticipated, I didn’t have time to go home to change before heading to Schenectady, N.Y. I’d worn jeans, heels and a sweater to work that day — fine for a Friday at the newspaper, but not great for a funeral home.

My only other option was to not attend, and I didn’t want to do that, so I drove over hoping I wouldn’t be disrespecting my friend and her family by not wearing “proper” clothing.

Turns out, I wasn’t the only one going casual. Granted, jeans were far from the attire of choice, but a few other denimclad legs were seen throughout the room.

Then, there was church that weekend. At least 40 percent of the Palm Sunday congregation sported jeans. Based on years past, I expect the trend to continue for today’s Easter services. “Sunday best” is no longer in most peoples’ vocabulary. We’re a society of comfort (think about the number of people you see out and about in their PJ bottoms on any given weekend), and we don’t make formal dress a priority. In fact, in many cases, the idea of dressing up

doesn’t even seem relevant, or important.

Several area clergymen and women agree. After I posted this topic on my Times Union blog (http://blog.timesunion. com/kristi), area ministers came on to say they appreciate all parishioners and that just as God does not judge, neither do they. They went on to say that you’ll still see people all dolled up, but jeans and sneakers are not out of the question for many — especially if the attendee is younger.

This is especially prevalent with my generation, and those who are younger. We’ve been taught to execute our independence and express ourselves.

We were taught to do our own thing and set our own path.

Oftentimes, this “I set my own rules” attitude is illustrated through fashion.

Baby boomers and those who are part of the Greatest Generation remember a time when a woman wearing pants in church was shameful, so they’re less likely to dress down for services. Granted, that’s based on casual observation, but I’ve yet to see someone my parents’ or grandparents’ age rockin’ dungarees at church.

Personally, I don’t see this slide in church clothes as a big

deal. With the declining membership and attendance at parishes across the country, I look at it as “they’re showing up (and not texting while the priest is delivering his homily), so who cares if they’re sporting Levis and Reeboks?”

The Fiance didn’t agree (nor did nearly half of the 120plus commenters on the post).

His theory is that if you’re old enough to not get carded when you buy a bottle of wine, there’s no reason you can’t 1) own a pair of dress pants and 2) pull those suckers out of the closet, press them and put them on for church once a week.

Jeans at church is sloppy, he argues, and a sign of how our society has all but given up when it comes to appearance at more formalized events. (I’ll give him the last part.)

Since he always seems to think I’m dressed appropriately, I tried strengthening my case by sharing that I wore jeans to the wake on Friday, despite having several closets’ worth of clothes. Let’s just say that did not help my argument, nor did he try to make me feel better about my funeral-home fashion choice.

As long as he doesn’t start telling strangers at church his opinion, we’re all good.

From pagan origin, the richly symbolic bunny hopped into secular mythology

By Karen D’Souza San Jose Mercury News

Once again, just as it happens each Easter, here comes Peter Cottontail.

But even as the animated flick “Hop” jumps up the boxoffice rankings and tykes all over the nation get ready to scramble for the beloved annual tradition of the Easter egg hunt, we take a moment to ask: What exactly does the Easter Bunny have to do with the resurrection of Christ? (Not so much.) And why does the bunny hide eggs anyway?

As Bugs might say, What’s up, Doc? Although the true origins of the Easter Bunny may remain lost in the mists of time, many point to the springtime celebrations of 13th-century Germany. One of the deities worshipped was Eostre, the goddess of spring and the dawn who has been portrayed as a comely maiden carrying a basket filled with dyed-red eggs and a pair of cuddly little baby hares.

Over time, some say, the goddess got lost — but the bunny and the eggs stuck.

“It’s really a lovely tradition,” says Scot Guenter, professor of American studies at San Jose State. “The bunny symbolizes fecundity, and the eggs represent the cycle of life.”

In fact, these customs may go even further back in antiquity.

Some say giving eggs in spring might trace back to the Persians and that the bunny first popped up in Celtic lore. The bottom line is that when our little children are hunting around in the

“We go to church, and the celebration of Christ’s resurrection is at the center of our holiday, and then we go home and hunt for chocolate eggs.

There’s no conflict there. It’s all about the wonder of spring, life is a gift, and all of it points to God.” — Janet Giddings, professor of theology at Santa Clara University grass, they may be harkening back to pagan fertility rituals.

So how did these ancient rites get woven into the fabric of a Christian holiday commemorating the rebirth of Christ?

“As the church moved around the globe, it assimilated a lot of the local culture,” says Guenter.

“It’s a way of getting your system accepted. You build on what was there before.”

Indeed, there’s no contradiction in blending religious holidays with secular customs, the sacred and the sugary, scholars say. In fact, it’s the eclectic nature of global culture that feeds the human experience.

“People say ‘pagan’ as if it were pejorative, but it’s not.

That’s the beauty of Catholicism. In the long trajectory of history, we pick up a little of this and a little of that,” says Janet

Giddings, professor of theology at Santa Clara University. “We go to church, and the celebration of Christ’s resurrection is at the center of our holiday, and then we go home and hunt for chocolate eggs. There’s no conflict there. It’s all about the wonder of spring, life is a gift, and all of it points to God.” Many believe the long-eared legend was imported to America in the 1700s when German immigrants settled in Pennsylvania Dutch country. Back in those days, children even left out carrots for the bunny in case he got hungry from all that hopping.

The fame of the fluffy fellow grew over the years. The ritual became part of who we are and how we define ourselves as Americans. In a nation of immigrants from vastly divergent cultures, the function of such unifying rituals can’t be overstated.

“That’s part of the strength of American culture — it’s a smorgasbord,” says Guenter.

“Over time these rituals hold us together as a community; they give us a sense of order and structure as a people. Now the Easter Bunny belongs to everybody.”

Like Santa Claus, another secular figure who pops up prominently during a religious holiday, the famed rabbit is now a beloved aspect of spring for many Americans.

Many factors influence which traditions remain with us and which die out over time. Our collective mythology is constantly adapting to the needs of our time.

BY JACQUELINE BIGAR HAPPY BIRTHDAY for Sunday, April 24, 2011: This year, curb a tendency to be obstinate. This trait could prevent you from creating more of what you want and achieving greater success. You often will be in the spotlight, with others taking their cues from you. Community and/or work could be a major platform for leadership. If you are single, you could meet someone from work or while networking. Use care, as this person might not be emotionally available. If you are attached, the two of you benefit from time alone. AQUARIUS makes a good friend, but you will butt heads.

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) HHHH Look at what is going on in your immediate circle. Join in as an important adventure or project materializes. As usual, when dealing with many people, there are some conflicts. Refuse to partake in the squabbles. Look at the happiness of being together.

Tonight: And the party goes on.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) HHHH You are full of energy and vitality. As a result, you can take a stand or assume the lead. The bottom line remains that others respect your views and where you are coming from. Listen to news.

Wipe away preordained thinking.

Tonight: A must appearance.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) HHHHH Break from your routine, whether it is physically, emotionally

or intellectually. Choose to have a new experience. Sometimes we get into ruts where we cannot move either forward or backward. The unexpected colors events. Tonight: Continue sampling other styles.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) HHHH Work as a duo; play as a duo — though you might choose a different person to play with.

What you need is variety in your life — all one way or the other most likely won’t work. Open up to possibilities. Start smiling. Tonight: Dinner for two — naturally!

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) HHHH You might want to rethink a matter in a different vein. Your ability to understand others and get to the bottom of an issue is valued.

Others come to you for help. You also might want to learn how to say “no.” Tonight: Carrying on again?

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) HHH Work on the quality of your life, incorporating a friend, loved one or partner into it more often.

Don’t be a stick in the mud. Let go and enjoy a fun situation, perhaps with a child or loved one. Give up a little of your work ethic, and put in more frolicking. Tonight: Act as if it is the beginning of the weekend.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) HHHHH Sometimes mischief nearly becomes your middle name.

You can be very conventional as a sign; however, much encourages you to act out or be more fun.

Others will delight in seeing your inner child emerge. Tonight: Live as if there is no tomorrow.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) HHH Work with a family member

or roommate. You know you cannot see eye to eye all the time. Make it OK to not feel at ease as you talk through an issue. Mutual respect will ease the hard moments.

Tonight: Go for a walk, a good meal or any other relaxing activity.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) HHHH Communicate your feelings, even if you might find it a touch difficult to express them. This discomfort actually is normal. What appears to be a wild idea could bloom into a lot more. Tonight: Make the most of the moment.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) HHH Use your innate wisdom well with finances. An unexpected event or insight could cause some unnecessary spending.

On the other hand, if you can afford to be whimsical, go for it.

A gift or token of affection makes a big hit. Tonight: Your treat.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) HHH Whatever you do appears to gain approval from those you value. On the other hand, wild impulsiveness could be fun, yet it might not be appropriate. Know when enough is enough. A caring gesture touches a close friend or loved one. Tonight: As you like it.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) HHH Know when you need to pull back and let others dominate.

In fact, what you might desire is some time to yourself. Make it OK to ask for just that and nothing else. You will discover the power of R and R, if you let it happen! Tonight: Make it easy. © 2011 by King Features Syndicate

kicked off, the museum held a special opening celebration for members. Andrick called ahead to see what that would be like: Would it be crowded? She wanted Maya to have a good experience. Whitelaw knew it would be a crazy, crowded, busy night in the exhibit.

“Not the best time for Maya.

But, you know,” Whitelaw recalls saying, “I bet you’re not the only one in that situation. What would be a good experience for you? We started talking about an exclusive, after-hours time to see the butterflies. And (Andrick) said, ‘I have a friend who would like to come, too.’ And that’s how this all started.”

Science, Art, and Social Studies Club is funded through the regular museum budget, but the museum is seeking sponsors and donors to help expand the free program so more people can join it.

She said the museum also is searching for more experts in special education who can help the museum better reach kids with various disabilities. Many kids are nonverbal, she said. Currently, museum officials work mostly with parents to determine what would best benefit the kids.

Susan Grasser, assistant curator of education programs at the High Desert Museum, lets Abigayle Hamer, 7, pet Speedy the turtle while discussing how animals hibernate during winter at a science club meeting last month.

Maya Andrick, 6, who is visually impaired, applies a generous layer of peanut butter to a pine cone while making a bird feeder during a Science, Art, and Social Studies Club class last month.

Museum Continued from C1 She’s very intelligent, and can read and spell with her DynaVox, a touch-screen tablet device that is meant to help her communicate. But when her brain tells her arms or legs to move, the muscles don’t follow the brain’s orders.

‘Scary seizure’ Nelson believes the stroke happened after Scarlet contracted E. coli from undercooked hamburger. Her flulike symptoms built up over a couple of weeks. Then, during a visit with family in Redmond, Nelson decided something was seriously wrong and took her to Redmond’s emergency room. Hours of tests concluded it was probably hemolytic-uremic syndrome (which often comes from E. coli) or leukemia. Scarlet was rushed by ambulance to the hospital in Bend. There, “she had a huge, scary seizure. That was probably the stroke,” Nelson said.

“I felt like I was in the fog of war for a few years after that

happened. I feel like I’m waking up after a few years.”

What she hadn’t realized during that traumatic time was that her son Alex, who was 7, was going through the same experience.

“He had incredible sadness and stress,” she said.

“All our energies and efforts have gone into making sure she lived through such a tragedy,” Nelson said. “That took years before we knew if she’d survive.

(Alex) kind of had to raise himself a little bit. He really got to the point where he felt like he was alone. We really have to go out of our way to adjust our focus back to Alex. It’s not fair for all the focus in the family to go to her.”

That’s another reason she’s so excited about this special science program at the museum.

Siblings are invited. Alex is interested in birds of prey and all animals. He’s looking forward to turning 13 so he can volunteer at the museum. So he’s crazy about the program, Nelson said. “We get to get up close when they bring out the animals.” Alex feels like he’s getting a perk, for once, by having a disabled sibling, she said.

A challenge Andrick, the mother of Maya, who is legally blind and has mild cerebral palsy resulting from a premature birth at 26 weeks, said the museum is challenging for kids like Maya, who is tiny and fragile.

Maya had her first of four surgeries to save her vision when she weighed only 3 pounds. She can see just a little bit out of one eye and has no peripheral vision.

“It’s stressful when it’s a regular day. I leave pretty quickly after (science club). With the general public ... I get frustrated if I’m there too long. It’s hard. I’m in su-

per-protective mode just for basic safety. Kids are flying around in there. I have to bodyguard Maya or she gets knocked over.”

Maya is a science fanatic, Andrick said. “She loves seeing the mammals. That’s hard to do unless it’s in science club.”

The science club, for kids and their families, includes a circle time, touchable artifacts, scientific experiments and art projects.

Each month’s theme varies, ranging from hibernation to volcanoes. At “Happenin’ Hibernation” in March, about 10 kids, including Scarlet and Maya, scattered around a classroom while parents helped them handle “fake snow” and dishes of bird seed. They decorated pictures of bears with white or brown grains that looked like coffee grounds and salt.

The class leader allowed kids to touch Speedy the turtle. She brought out a screech owl named William for the kids to see up close. Maya was just inches from the owl, close enough to feel the wind from the owl’s wings.

On other days, kids got to help with butterfly releases, said Dana Whitelaw, the museum’s vice president of programs. The small group of kids got to carry the emerging butterflies, as they came out of their chrysalises, and launch them in the exhibit.

The science club program started last November after a conversation between Whitelaw and Andrick.

Down 23 points in the second half, Portland rallies to top Dallas and even the series at 2-2

SOCCER Donovan scores twice as L.A. tops Portland in MLS CARSON, Calif. — Landon Donovan scored his first two goals of the season and added an assist to help the Los Angeles Galaxy beat the Portland Timbers 3-0 on Saturday night in Major League Soccer.

Donovan returned to the lineup following a three-game absence because of a knee injury.

Chad Barrett had a goal and an assist for Los Angeles. The Galaxy (4-1-3) have won two straight and are unbeaten in their last five games.

The Galaxy scored twice in the first 8 minutes. Donovan fed Barrett in the fourth minute, then converted a penalty kick moments later. Donovan finished a header from close range in the second half.

The Timbers (2-3-1) snapped a two-game winning streak and remain winless in four road games.

Portland actually outshot the Galaxy 13-11 in the game, but could not find the back of the net. The Timbers had 13 shots, six of them on goal, while L.A. had 11 shots, seven on goal.

The fouls were also relatively even, as Portland was called for 14, and the Galaxy were whistled for 17.

Colombian designated player Diego Chará made his MLS debut for Portland in the game.

Troy Perkins started in goal for Portland and allowed all three scores.

The Timbers had their best opportunity to score in the first half when Mamadou Danso headed a Jack Jewsbury free kick, but L.A. goalie Donovan Ricketts made the save.

The Timbers tried to get some offense going late in the proceedings, as Kenny Cooper chipped the ball on goal in the 71st minute. That shot was turned aside by Ricketts, who kept the clean sheet.

PORTLAND — Brandon Roy’s season had been fraught with uncertainty, first over the stability of his knees, then over his diminished role with the team.

All those doubts melted away on Saturday when he led the Portland Trail Blazers to one of the greatest comebacks in NBA playoff history.

With 39.2 seconds left, Roy made a go-ahead bank shot that gave the Trail Blazers a stunning 84-82 comeback victory over the Dallas Mavericks — and evened their first-round playoff series at two games apiece.

Roy finished with 24 points — 18 in the fourth quarter alone — as the Blazers erased a 23-point deficit. Portland became the third NBA team in the shot clock era to win a playoff game when trailing by 18 points or more heading into the fourth quarter.

Summit senior Alexander Needham clears the final hurdle during the boys 110-meter hurdles race at the Summit Invitational on Saturday. Needham won the event.

Summit takes boys, girls titles at own invite Bulletin staff report At this rate, Summit high jumper Lucinda Howard may clear 6 feet by the end of the season.

The Storm junior won the Summit Invitational on Saturday with a mark of 5 feet, 6 inches, a new school record. Howard, who before this season had never gone higher than 5-0, now has the best high school girls mark in the state.

“She’s the best high jumper I’ve had as a high school coach,” said Summit coach Dave Turnbull, who is in his 10th year as the Storm’s head coach.

Howard’s victory helped the Summit girls post a dominating win in the 15team event. Summit’s 194.5 points were more than 100 points better than secondplace Redmond (91.5 points).

The Storm boys also won the Sum-

mit Invitational, amassing 203 points as Redmond placed second (133) and Sisters finished third (52).

Keelin Moehl added a victory in the girls 800, registering a winning time of 2 minutes, 23.54 seconds Ashley Maton contributed a win in the 1,500 and freshman Mary Hadley Schoderbek raced to first in the 3,000.

Cam Newton understands exactly what is at stake here, and precisely what question the Carolina Panthers must answer before making him the No. 1 overall pick in Thursday’s NFL draft.

If Carolina general manager Marty Hurney and head coach Ron Rivera believe the star quarterback from Auburn can make the fundamental transformation from running the spread offense in college to the more traditional schemes of the NFL, then they’ll stake their future to the charismatic, but still somewhat raw 21-year-old quarterback. If not, then it’ll be someone else, perhaps

Blaine Gabbert of Missouri or lower down in the draft with Ryan Mallett of Arkansas, two other quarterbacks who operated from the spread offense and are now about to make the quantum leap from playing in a relatively simple, yet wide-open system to the NFL’s version of quantum physics.

PRINEVILLE — The Crook County Cowboys are finally swinging the bat up to their potential.

The Cowboys routed Roosevelt High of Portland 22-0 and 10-0 on Saturday in a pair of Class 4A Special District 1 baseball games. Crook County, which clinched a No. 1 seed for the 4A state play-in round with its wins, banged out 27 hits in just nine at-bats Saturday. The Cowboys (6-0 SD1, 7-8 overall) ended both games after five innings due to the 10-run mercy rule.

“The last three or four games we’ve really been swinging well again,” Crook County coach Terry Larimer said about his squad, which recorded 23 hits Friday night in a 17-15 loss to Mountain View. “We started the year out strong but had a little lull there in the middle of the season.”

The Cowboys jumped all over the Roughriders in the opener, scoring nine runs in their first at-bat. Dayton Stafford and Clay McCarty each had two doubles in the first game, and Cody Pfau recorded a triple and a double for Crook County, which posted 20 hits as a team. Stafford ended the first game with six runs batted in. Max Benton earned the win on the mound for the Cowboys, allowing just four hits in five innings.

In the second game, Cowboy pitcher Cody Buss held Roosevelt to three hits while Crook County’s offense, led by McCarty (two RBIs) and Stafford (two RBIs), scored five runs in the first inning and another five in the fourth and fifth to end the game early.

The Cowboys host Mazama of Klamath Falls on Tuesday in a 4A nonconference doubleheader.

Auburn quarterback Cameron Newton could be the No. 1 overall pick by the Carolina Panthers in the upcoming NFL draft.

S B Baseball • Rangers closer Feliz on DL: Texas Rangers closer Neftali Feliz has been put on the 15-day disabled list because of right shoulder inflammation. The move was made before the Rangers played Kansas City on Saturday. The move is retroactive to Thursday, the day after the right-hander last pitched. Feliz has five saves in five chances this season and a 1.08 ERA in eight appearances. Opponents have hit only .138 against him.

Basketball • Two suspended in Hawks-Magic series: The NBA suspended Atlanta’s Zaza Pachulia and Orlando’s Jason Richardson for Game 4 of an increasingly testy Eastern Conference playoff series after their altercation in the closing minutes of the third game. Pachulia will sit out Sunday night’s game for head-butting Richardson and fighting. The Magic player was suspended for shoving Pachulia in the face and fighting. Both also will forfeit one game’s pay.

Football • Police: WR Marshall stabbed by wife: Authorities said the wife of Brandon Marshall stabbed the Miami Dolphins wide receiver with a kitchen knife, and his agent said Saturday that the player was recovering. Michi Nogami-Marshall, 26, was arrested Friday evening and charged with aggravated battery with a deadly weapon.

According to the Broward County Sheriff’s Office arrest report, Nogami-Marshall told officers she was defending herself. Marshall had earlier told officers he slipped and fell onto a broken glass vase, but the officers noted that evidence at the couple’s home didn’t substantiate that claim.

Tennis • Wozniacki and Goerges reach final: Top-ranked Caroline Wozniacki beat Agnieszka Radwanska 7-5, 6-3 to advance to the final of the Porsche Grand Prix in Germany on Saturday and a shot at her fourth title of the year. For the title and the Porsche sports car that goes with it, Wozniacki will play Julia Goerges, who upset last year’s runner-up, Sam Stosur, 6-4, 3-6, 7-5 to play for her second career WTA title. Wozniacki fell behind by a break but rallied with her powerful groundstrokes to overcome Radwanska in the first set. The Dane needed seven match points over two games to close out the Pole. Goerges blew a 4-2 lead in the final set but broke the fifthseeded Stosur’s serve to win after 2 hours, 16 minutes and become the first German

in the Stuttgart final since Anke Huber in 1996.

• Nadal to face Ferrer in Barcelona: Rafael Nadal and fellow Spaniard David Ferrer will meet in their second final in two weeks at the Barcelona Open in Spain.

Both cruised through their semifinals Saturday, Nadal beating the only non-Spaniard in the last four, Ivan Dodig of Croatia 6-3, 6-2, and Ferrer topping Nicolas Almagro 63, 6-4. Nadal won his 28th straight match in Barcelona, including five straight titles from 2005-09. He missed last year because of injury. He defeated Ferrer in the Barcelona finals of 2008 and 2009, and in last weekend’s final of the Monte Carlo Masters.

Nadal leads their career series 12-4. “I like to look at stats that favor me,” Nadal said.

“But every game is different and David is having a great beginning to the year.”

Auto racing • Edwards wins Nashville 300: Carl Edwards claimed his fifth career victory at Nashville Superspeedway, holding off Kyle Busch to win the Nationwide Series’ Nashville 300 on Saturday. Edwards’ victory kept Busch from pulling off the first double at the track. Busch had dominated in winning the Trucks Series race Friday night.

Edwards led 148 of the 225 laps Saturday and took the lead for good on lap 191, passing Busch and opening up a slight lead and weaving past a slower car on the final lap. Brad Keselowski, a two-time winner in Nashville, finished third, edging polesitter Joey Logano in fourth, and Ricky Stenhouse Jr. in fifth.

Football • Lightning lose: The High Desert Lightning, a semiprofessional tackle football team based in Central Oregon, lost its season opener to the Portland Raiders, 15-0, on Saturday night at Sisters High School.

The Lightning fell in the Pacific Football League game despite allowing just one touchdown on defense.

Horse racing • Derby Kitten wins Lexington Stakes: Derby Kitten roared to victory in the $200,000 Lexington Stakes in Kentucky, surging past the leaders deep in the stretch to romp in the rain at Keeneland. The 3year-old colt bided his time before jockey Julien Leparoux perfectly timed a late-race push, allowing Derby Kitten to beat Prime Cut by 1½ lengths. Silver Medallion, who could have qualified for next month’s Kentucky Derby with a victory, stalked the pace but faded to fourth.

Beavers’ win streak ends at 11 Ducks take finale vs. Arizona From wire reports CORVALLIS — The Oregon State baseball team’s 11-game win streak came to an end Saturday afternoon in a pitcher’s duel as the thirdranked Beavers dropped a 2-0 decision to Washington State in front of a season-best 3,041 fans Saturday afternoon at Goss Stadium.

Josh Osich (5-1) threw 6 1⁄3 innings against the Cougars Saturday, scattering eight hits and two runs with eight strikeouts. The lefty was bested by Washington State starter James Wise, who held the Beavers (29-8 overall, 10-2 Pac-10) off the scoreboard during his 7 2⁄3 innings. He allowed just three hits, walked five and struck out four to improve to 4-4 this season.

Osich’s first run allowed came in the third inning when Derek Jones singled through the right side.

The Cougars scored their second and final run in the sixth when Jay Ponciano reached first on an infield single to Kavin Keyes at third, narrowly beating the throw.

Paris Shewey picked up his seventh save of the season for the Cougars, who improved to 15-19 overall and 3-12 in Pac-10 play. Shewey allowed a hit in the ninth but got Tyler Smith to ground out for a game-ending double play.

Brett Jacobs and Jason Monda both had two hits to pace the Cougars, who had nine overall on the day.

Oregon State plays at Portland Tuesday at 3 p.m.

From wire reports EUGENE — Oregon clinched its first Pac-10 series win of the season, scoring six runs in the game’s first four innings as the Ducks recorded a 7-3 victory over No. 23 Arizona on Saturday afternoon at PK Park.

The Ducks (21-17, 4-8), who have played nine games in the last 11 days, finished that stretch with a 6-3 record. The Wildcats (24-15, 6-9) have now lost two consecutive conference series.

The Ducks had a 6-2 lead after four innings, while the Oregon pitchers were backed stellar defense for the entire game.

In the win, Alex Keudell (5-3) tossed 5 2⁄3 innings, allowing three runs while scattering

seven hits, walking three and striking out three.

Scott McGough finished the game and earned his fourth save of the season — including his second of the week — holding Arizona scoreless over 31⁄3 innings.

Once again, Oregon used five true freshmen in the starting lineup with designated hitter Ryon Healy leading Oregon with a three-forthree performance, two RBIs and two extrabase hits.

Danny Pulfer was two-for-three for UO with three runs scored, recording his team-leading 14th multiple-hit game of the season, while Aaron Jones went two for four and drove in two runs.

The Ducks host Portland at 6 p.m. Wednesday.

American League roundup

National League roundup

• Red Sox 5, Angels 0: ANAHEIM, Calif.

— Daisuke Matsuzaka allowed one hit and struck out nine over eight innings, Kevin Youkilis homered and Boston won its fourth straight. Matsuzaka (2-2) allowed only four baserunners, none of which got past second base. The only hit off the right-hander came with one out in the second — a vicious line drive back to the box by Alberto Callaspo that deflected off Matsuzaka’s glove to shortstop Jed Lowrie. Callaspo just beat Lowrie’s throw to first.

• Tigers 9, White Sox 0: DETROIT — Brad Penny had a no-hit bid broken up on an infield single in the sixth and the Tigers scored five in the fifth inning in their eighth straight win over the White Sox. Penny (1-2) pitched seven innings, allowing a hit and walking two.

• Yankees 15, Orioles 3: BALTIMORE — Alex Rodriguez hit a milestone grand slam and drove in six runs, CC Sabathia earned his first win of the season and New York pounded the Orioles. It was his 22nd career slam, pushing him past Manny Ramirez into second place on the career list behind only Lou Gehrig (23).

• Twins 10, Indians 3: MINNEAPOLIS — Justin Morneau had a big two-run single in his return from a five-game absence and Minnesota broke out of a season-long offensive slump against Cleveland.

Brian Duensing (2-0) gave up one run on five hits in seven innings.

• Rays 6, Blue Jays 4: TORONTO — Ben Zobrist hit a three-run home run, David Price went eightplus innings and Tampa Bay beat the Blue Jays.

Johnny Damon also went deep for the Rays, who snapped a two-game skid.

• Rangers 3, Royals 1: ARLINGTON, Texas — Alexi Ogando allowed only one run pitching into the seventh inning, Michael Young extended his hitting streak to 13 games and Texas beat Kansas City.

• Athletics 9, Mariners 1: SEATTLE — Coco Crisp broke Oakland’s 20-inning scoreless streak with an RBI double, Cliff Pennington and Kevin Kouzmanoff both later hit his first home run of the season and the Athletics’ offense woke up in a big win. Oakland’s Trevor Cahill (3-0) pitched six innings, giving up just one run and seven hits to the Mariners.

• Cubs 10, Rangers 8: CHICAGO — Jeff Baker hit a tiebreaking two-run double in the eighth inning and Chicago got a banner day from the top of their lineup. Starlin Castro, Darwin Barney and Marlon Byrd combined for nine hits, six RBIs and four runs as Chicago roughed up Ted Lilly in his return to Wrigley Field.

• Mets 6, Diamondbacks 4: NEW YORK — Jason Bay homered and drove in three runs, Ike Davis went deep for the third straight game and the Mets held off the Diamondbacks for their third straight win. Dillon Gee (2-0) went six innings and allowed two earned runs.

• Braves 5, Giants 2: SAN FRANCISCO — Tim Hudson outdueled Tim Lincecum and came within one out of his first complete game this year, leadoff man Martin Prado drove in Atlanta’s first three runs and the Braves secured just their third series win of the season.

• Reds 5, Cardinals 3: ST. LOUIS — Miguel Cairo hit a two-out, two-run, go-ahead single in the eighth inning to lift Cincinnati past St. Louis. A throwing error by Cardinals third baseman David Freese led to three unearned runs in the eighth.

• Pirates 7, Nationals 2: PITTSBURGH — Andrew McCutchen scored three runs, stole two bases and singled to spark a five-run first inning for Pittsburgh. Lyle Overbay had two hits and two RBIs to help the Pirates end a three-game losing skid, and Jose Tabata and Ronny Cedeno had two hits each.

• Rockies 3, Marlins 1: MIAMI — Jason Hammel pitched a season-high 6 2⁄3 innings and bunted home a run to give Colorado’s sputtering offense a boost. The NL West-leading Rockies snapped Florida’s four-game winning streak and improved to 8-2 on the road.

• Astros 9, Brewers 6: MILWAUKEE — Humberto Quintero hit a two-out, two-run double in the 10th inning to lift Houston. Quintero’s big hit off Sean Green (0-1) came the inning after he couldn’t tag Ryan Braun quickly enough in a play at the plate that completed Milwaukee’s rally from a three-run deficit.

• Phillies 4, Padres 2: SAN DIEGO — Ryan Howard hit a two-run, opposite-field double to left field with two outs in the 11th inning and Philadelphia beat San Diego.

PREP ROUNDUP

Storm get key league win in boys lacrosse Bulletin staff report BURNS — Needing a win to stay atop the High Desert League standings, Summit High rallied from a 10-8 deficit in the fourth quarter to defeat Harney County 15-12 in boys lacrosse Saturday.

Willy Ross led the Storm offense with four goals, two of which came in the fourth quarter. Quinn Burket added three goals for Summit, which is 3-0 in league play and 6-3 overall.

Bend High also is undefeated in the High Desert League with a 4-0 record.

“We didn’t really play well until the fourth quarter,” Storm coach John Lauerman said.

“There was a lot of unforced errors. But we picked it up in the fourth.”

Ross, Zach Colton and Glen Sherman all scored twice in the final period against Harney County, which fell to 4-2 in league games.

The Storm conclude their HDL schedule next week with games against Redmond and Bend. Summit is on the road against the Panthers on Wednesday before hosting the Lava Bears on Friday in a match that could decide the league title.

Blazers

N H L P L AYO F F R O U N D U P

Continued from D1 “I’ve been in some pretty good zones before,” the three-time All-Star said. “But nothing like tonight.”

After the victory, Roy was swallowed by the embrace of several of his teammates.

“It still just doesn’t feel real yet,” he said. “It was just an unbelievable game and comeback. With everything I’ve been through this season, they just all came into that moment there on the court when guys we’re grabbing and cheering me on. It was real special.”

Trailing 67-44 in the third quarter, the Blazers closed the gap to 77-70 after Roy’s step-back jumper.

Jason Terry answered with a three-pointer but then Roy drove down the lane and finished to narrow it to 80-74 with 2:32 to go.

LaMarcus Aldridge added a turnaround jumper.

Roy traded baskets with Shawn Marion before making a threepointer and a free throw with 1:06 left to tie it at 82.

After Roy’s go-ahead jumper from out front banked in, the Mavericks missed two threepoint tries, the first from Jason Kidd and the second from Terry as time ran out. Roy defended Terry on the final shot.

Dirk Nowitzki had 20 points to lead the Mavericks. Terry finished with 13 off the bench.

Aldridge finished with 18 points for the Blazers, while Gerald Wallace had 10 points and 11 rebounds.

“When people ask me what did I do in the fourth quarter, I’ll tell them ‘I stood in the corner and watched The Brandon Roy Show,’ ” Wallace said.

The series now heads back to Dallas for Game 5 on Monday.

“Did we let up? I think we let up, yeah. There isn’t any question,” Mavericks coach Rick Carlisle said.

The Blazers started slow, going zero-for-four from the floor with two turnovers, and finished the first quarter shooting just 25 percent (four for 16). Dallas capitalized on the pace, taking a 22-13 lead early in the second quarter after Terry’s jumper.

Aldridge didn’t score for the Blazers until a pair of free throws at the 7:36 mark of the second quarter.

While successfully defending Aldridge, Portland’s top scorer, the Mavericks were spreading their scoring around better than they had in the previous three games, and extended the lead to 33-23 on Tyson Chandler’s layup.

Tempers flared with 3:21 left in the first half when Aldridge and Chandler got into a shoving match under the Blazers’ basket, resulting in a technical for each.

The scuffle seemed to bring the fans — and the Blazers themselves — back into the game, albeit temporarily. Portland closed to 37-35 at the break after Wesley Matthews’ layup and a pair for free throws from Aldridge.

Kings beat Sharks 3-1 to avoid elimination The Associated Press

Rick Bowmer / The Associated Press

Portland’s Brandon Roy (7) takes a charge from Dallas point guard Jose Juan Barea (11) while LaMarcus Aldridge (12) looks on in the first half of Game 4 of a first-round playoff series Saturday in Portland.

Matthews led the Blazers with 25 points in Portland’s 97-92 victory in Game 3 on Thursday night, which drew the Blazers within 2-1 into best-of-seven series.

The Mavericks did not go to the free-throw line in the first half, while the Blazers went 12-for-12.

Kidd’s high-arcing threepointer game the Mavs a 48-37 lead in the third quarter and the Rose Garden crowd fell quiet.

It touched off a 16-4 run by the Mavs capped by Peja Stojakovic’s three-pointer to make it 64-41.

The Blazers missed their first 15 shots from the floor in the third.

“You can always, after the fact, talk about what you could have done or should have done,” Nowitzki said. “You can go a million ways about it, and afterward you’re a lot smarter, but that doesn’t help anybody right now.

We all have to take it and stay positive.”

Roy embarked on his turnaround when he had 16 points in Portland’s Game 3 — after grousing to a reporter in frustration after going scoreless in Game 2. The comments seemed to polarize fans, but Roy said overwhelming encouragement from friends and family — including a text from Charles Barkley — led him to the breakthrough.

The three-time All-Star has played off the bench since his

surgery in January, and has at times had trouble adjusting to his diminished role.

Carlisle insisted Roy’s emergence in the playoffs didn’t throw the Mavericks.

“We’ve been saying all series that we’ve been game planning for him like he’s an All-Star,” the coach said. “He’s had two of those nights now, so we’ll continue to do that. He got on a roll in the fourth and made some things happen. I’m going to take the blame for a lot of that. There are different things defensively we could have done.”

The Mavs opened the playoffs with an 89-81 victory. Nowitzki had 28 points — 18 in the fourth quarter alone — and 10 rebounds.

The 7-foot veteran had 33 points in Dallas’ 101-89 win in Game 2.

Overall against Dallas, the Blazers have a 48-18 advantage at home in the regular season, and they’re 8-1 in playoff games.

Dallas is 2-1 when it opened 2-0 in 15 previous best-of-7 series. The exception was the 2006 NBA Finals when the Miami Heat defeated the Mavericks in six games. The Heat were just the third team to claim a championship after trailing 0-2.

The last time Dallas and Portland met in the playoffs was 2003.

The Mavs claimed the first three games before the Blazers won the next three. The Mavericks took the deciding game in Dallas.

SAN JOSE, Calif. — Jonathan Quick used his pads, glove and just about every other part of his equipment and body to make sure the Los Angeles Kings would hold onto this big lead and stay alive in their playoff series against San Jose.

Quick made a Los Angeles playoff-record 51 saves and Kyle Clifford and Wayne Simmonds teamed up for a pair of first-period goals to lead the Kings to a 3-1 victory over the Sharks in Game 5 on Saturday night.

“That’s a lot of shots, a lot of saves,” defenseman Matt Greene said. “He played huge for us. He’s been doing it all year for us. It’s not a one-time thing. He’s been stealing games for us to get us into this situation. He did it again tonight.”

Dustin Penner added his first goal in more than a month in a big first period for the Kings, who cut San Jose’s series lead to 3-2 by bouncing back after a pair of home losses put them on the brink of elimination.

The Sharks outshot the Kings 52-22 but failed to end the third all-California playoff series in NHL history at home. San Jose will try to wrap up the series in Game 6 on Monday night in Los Angeles, where the Sharks won twice, including a comeback from 4-0 down in Game 3.

“If we were expecting another miracle, it won’t happen,” coach Todd McLellan said. “We’ve used our mulligan up. It’s not going to happen again.”

The Kings knocked out Antti Niemi with three goals on their first four shots in the first 8:42 of the game and didn’t fall apart after that as they did in Game 3 at home.

Los Angeles took a 4-0 lead with a goal in the opening minute of the second period to knock out Niemi. But San Jose scored five goals in the second period to tie it and then became just the fourth team ever to overcome a four-goal deficit and win a playoff game when Devin Setoguchi

Los Angeles Kings left wing Kyle Clifford (13) celebrates after scoring against San Jose Sharks goalie Antti Niemi (31) during the first period in Game 5 of a first-round playoff series in San Jose, Calif., Saturday. scored in overtime.

Quick made sure the Sharks never got rolling in this game, stopping all 19 shots in the first period and standing tall after Patrick Marleau woke up the crowd when he poked a rebound early in the second.

The top-seeded Capitals won the series 4-1, the first time they have finished off a team in fewer than seven games since 1998.

Green scored on a power play in the first period but later left the game after taking a puck off the helmet. Ovechkin scored his third goal of the series in the second period, and Semin tallied in the third.

The Penguins, who lead the series 3-2, will get a second chance to advance Monday night at Tampa Bay. Simon Gagne and Pavel Kubina both scored their first two goals of the series, captain Vincent Lecavalier added his second of the series, and Martin St. Louis had two assists for the Lightning, who set a franchise record for goals in a road playoff game and handed the Penguins their worst home playoff loss.

Grizzlies surprise Spurs again, now lead series 2-1 The Associated Press MEMPHIS, Tenn. — Zach Randolph is known for being a beast in the paint. Now his feathery touch from outside helped the Memphis Grizzlies keep making history.

Even though it’s not the shot anyone expected — except the big power forward.

Randolph scored 25 points, including a clinching three-pointer with 41.9 seconds left, and the Memphis Grizzlies beat the San Antonio Spurs 91-88 Saturday night for the franchise’s first playoff victory on its home court.

“One would probably think that you’d like Zach to shoot the three rather than continue to lay it in against you, so it was a heck of a shot and part of the playoffs is about making shots,” Spurs coach Gregg Popovich said.

Shane Battier passed the ball to Randolph and said later he wished he could take credit for the busted play.

“I think there was a collective holding of the breath at the Forum when that shot was in the air, and it went through,” Battier said. “It was one of those moments where it’s like: ‘No, no, no, no, no, yes. Yes.” These Grizzlies have been busy this postseason at the Spurs’ expense. They opened this series with their first playoff win, and now the No. 8 seed has a 2-1 lead over the Western

Conference’s best team during the regular season. Memphis is trying to become just the fourth team to knock off the top-seeded team.

Game 4 is Monday night in Memphis.

Marc Gasol scored 17 points, Mike Conley had 14 and O.J. Mayo had 10 off the bench for Memphis.

Manu Ginobili led the Spurs with 23 points. Tony Parker had 16, Tim Duncan 13 and George Hill 11.

The Spurs only led early and never by more than one, the last time at 12-11. They fell behind by as much as 15 before managing to tie it up twice in the final 8:06, the last at 80 on a Ginobili free throw.

Parker’s reverse layup pulled the Spurs within 88-86 with 1:04 left. The Grizzlies took a timeout, and Randolph looked for an option with the shot clock ticking down, then he put up the 3-pointer over Duncan’s outstretched arm.

The ball fell in with 41.9 seconds left for a 91-86 lead that sparked fans to chant his nickname “Z-Bo, Z-Bo.” “It was five seconds on the shot clock,” Randolph said. “I had a little space to see it, so I just shot the shot. It went in, but that’s the shot I work on and I practice every day shooting so it felt good when it left my hand.”

Duncan said he didn’t think

that Randolph would try that shot so late in the game.

“I leaned back and tried to make sure that there wasn’t a quick big-to-big roll, but he hit a three from that range. It was a great shot,” Duncan said.

Also on Saturday: Pacers . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 89 Bulls . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 84 INDIANAPOLIS — Danny Granger scored 24 points and the Pacers avoided elimination by holding off a furious rally to beat the Bulls.

The Bulls still lead the series 3-1 and will have a chance to close it out at home Tuesday.

Carlos Boozer missed a threepoint attempt that could have tied the game with a second remaining.

Indiana never trailed and finally broke through after losing the first three games by a combined 15 points.

Thunder . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 97 Nuggets . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 94 DENVER — Serge Ibaka tied his career high with 22 points and sparked the Thunder’s win over the Nuggets that gave them a 3-0 lead in their best-of-seven playoff series.

Ibaka, a second-year pro from the Congo who led the league with 198 blocks during the regular season, gave the Thunder a third dimension on offense to go with All-Stars Kevin Durant (26 points) and Russell Westbrook (23).

Draft Continued from D1 Newton knows.

“Obviously, everybody knows that Cam has been in a spread offense, and I have been trying to work as much as possible on trying to be fluid in coming from under center, with the three-step game, the five-step, also the seven-step drop,” Newton said. “I’ve been working day and night in the film room, on the chalkboard, or on the field throwing rocks.”

Newton is intent on proving to the skeptics — and there are plenty of them out there — that he won’t fall victim to the trend of “spread” quarterbacks failing to make the transition to the pros. But he’ll be fighting history along the way, because the list of quarterback busts in recent years is long and expensive, and includes names such as Alex Smith of the 49ers, J.P. Losman of the Bills, Vince Young of the Titans, JaMarcus Russell of the Raiders, Matt Leinart of the Cardinals and Pat White of the Dolphins.

Like Newton, many of them came from college programs that employed offenses in which the quarterbacks operated primarily from the shotgun formation. These schemes are designed to spread the field by lining up multiple receivers to open up the passing lanes, and even create more space for running backs by forcing the defense to spread apart.

The NFL has adopted some elements of the college version of the spread offense, and you’re seeing far more multiple-receiver sets now than ever before.

But even so, the NFL’s offenses remain somewhat more conservative, and many teams — including the Jets — still employ a run-first approach.

Factor in the complicated schemes on both offense and defense in the NFL, and these incredibly intricate nuances require a pro quarterback to know far more about all aspects of the game in order to become an elite performer.

“The thing you worry about these guys coming into the NFL is the mental part of it,” former NFL quarterback Boomer Esiason said. “With Cam Newton (at Auburn), they’re yelling out a number from the sideline, and then they run the play. You can’t come out in base formations in the NFL and just run the play.”

Esiason thinks Gabbert may be the more NFL-ready quarterback, even though he, too, played in the spread at Missouri.

“You look at Blaine Gabbert, who had a 42 (out of 50) on the Wonderlic (intelligence) test,” said Esiason, a WFAN radio host and NFL analyst for CBS. “You have to look at whose learning curve is going to develop first.”

As a measure of how complicated it is for a quarterback to go from college to the pros, Esiason recalls his early days with the Bengals in 1984.

“One of the great things is (former Bengals coach) Sam Wyche expected me to learn the entire offense, signaling, audibles, everything,” Esiason said.

“You have to be able to walk into the room and have 52 guys believe in you. I’m sure guys like (former teammate) Cris Collinsworth thought I was an idiot.”

But Esiason developed into an NFL MVP and led the Bengals to the Super Bowl after the 1988 season.

Collinsworth, an NBC analyst, now sees many of today’s young quarterbacks attempting to make the difficult transition to the NFL — with mixed results.

And he remains highly skeptical about Newton’s chances.

“I just have a ton of questions,” Collinsworth said. “We’re talking about the No. 1 overall pick in the draft. He does have off-the-field issues at Florida and Auburn. Accuracy issues showed up a little bit. He never called plays or made adjustments at the line of scrimmage at Auburn.”

A somewhat similar debate involving a quarterback who came from the spread offense surfaced in 2006, when it was Alex Smith vs. Aaron Rodgers.

Smith starred in Urban Meyer’s wide-open offense at Utah, and Rodgers was somewhat less productive under Jeff Tedford at California. The 49ers settled on Smith and took him No. 1 overall; Rodgers nearly slid out of the first round before being taken by the Packers at No. 24.

But Smith wound up being a colossal disappointment for the 49ers, and Rodgers is now the reigning Super Bowl championship quarterback.

It’s just another example of the difficulty in projecting quarterbacks who play in the more wide-open college game.

“I think that is a hard position to evaluate more and more

Top 10 QBs in NFL draft 1. Cam Newton, Auburn, 6-feet-5, 248 pounds: As a true freshman he backed up Tim Tebow at Florida. In the first game of his sophomore year, he suffered an ankle injury and opted for a medical redshirt year. He went on to lead Blinn Junior College in Texas and Auburn to national championships.

2. Blaine Gabbert, Missouri, 6-4, 234: He was a two-year starter for the Tigers. He is considered the best pocket passer in the draft, but has a three-quarters to sidearm delivery.

3. Ryan Mallett, Arkansas, 6-6, 247: He is not very athletic in the pocket and is slow. However, he has a lively arm and can throw the ball 80 yards.

4. Jake Locker, Washington, 6-2, 231: He is extremely athletic, but has accuracy issues. He likely would have been the top quarterback taken if he’d come out last season.

5. Andy Dalton, TCU, 6-2, 215: He had a 42-7 record as a starter for the Horned Frogs. He was the two-time Mountain West Conference player of the year.

6. Colin Kaepernick, Nevada, 6-5, 233: He dazzled the nation in a stirring 34-31 victory over Boise State last season. He is the only player in NCAA history to amass 10,000 yards passing and 4,000 yards rushing.

7. Christian Ponder, Florida State, 6-2, 229: His father, David, played for the Seminoles in the early 1980s.

He had a 22-13 record as a starter.

8. Pat Devlin, Delaware; 6-3, 225: Started his college career at Penn State before transferring to Delaware. He posted a 17-8 record with the Blue Hens.

9. Greg McElroy, Alabama, 6-2, 220: He guided the Crimson Tide to a BCS title as a junior. He scored a 43 on the Wonderlic test at the NFL scouting combine.

10. Tyrod Taylor, Virginia Tech, 6-1;, 217: He had a 34-8 record as a starter for the Hokies. He’s a little short, but has a lively arm.

On the fringe: Scott Tolzein, Wisconsin; Ben Chappell, Indiana; Jerrod Johnson, Texas A&M; T.J. Yates, North Carolina; Ricky Stanzi, Iowa; Nathan Enderle, Idaho; Justin Roper, Montana; Zack Eskridge, Midwestern State; Mike Hartline, Kentucky; and Josh Portis, California (Pa.).

NOTABLE • The NFL likes quarterbacks who don’t commit turnovers, so the NFL is going to like Blaine Gabbert. The Missouri quarterback threw only 18 interceptions in 933 career passes — an average of one every 52 throws. In addition, Jerrod Johnson set a Texas A&M record by throwing 242 consecutive passes without an interception in 2009. Other such streaks of note were 157 consecutive passes by Pat Devlin, 127 by Andy Dalton and 116 by Greg McElroy.

• NFL teams looking for mobile quarterbacks will have plenty to choose from. Colin Kaepernick rushed for 4,112 yards in his career and Cam Newton rushed for 1,473 yards last season. Also, Josh Nesbitt (Georgia Tech) rushed 2,806 career yards, Ricky Dobbs (Navy) for 2,665, Tyrod Taylor 2,196, Jake Locker 1,939, Jeremiah Masoli (Mississippi) 1,930 and Andy Dalton 1,611.

— From wire reports

because most colleges now run the spread offense,” said Giants general manager Jerry Reese, a former quarterback at Tennessee-Martin. “Really, it is a different animal than what we do in the NFL. But you just have to see what the skill set is.”

Gabbert thinks he has the skill set to make the transition.

“We’re in the shotgun (in college) about 98 percent of the time, so that’s what I’ve been working on and focusing on,” Gabbert said. “It’s an extremely important process to work on, and I’ve done a great job so far and haven’t seen a problem with it.”

Gabbert finds out Thursday just how great a job he has done convincing some NFL team he’s worth the investment. Same with Newton. And every other quarterback about to make the biggest athletic transition of their lives.

GOLF ROUNDUP

Donald still leads Heritage, one round away from No. 1 The Associated Press HILTON HEAD ISLAND, S.C. — Luke Donald was more concerned about who was behind him at The Heritage than what’s ahead should he win today.

Donald shot a 1-under 70 on Saturday to take a one-stroke leader over defending champion Jim Furyk after three rounds at Harbour Town Golf Links. A victory would vault the third-ranked Donald to No. 1. Donald knows if thinks too much about that, he’ll lose sight of the stellar field trying to chase him down.

“I think there’s a bunch of people behind us that have a good chance, too, so I don’t count anyone else out,” he said. “It should be a good battle out there.”

It usually is with Donald and Furyk.

Furyk, the American ranked 13th in the world, used a par save from the bunker on the 72nd hole to win the Tour Championship by a stroke over Donald last year and claim the $10 million FedEx Cup bonus.

Donald came right back the next week, beating Furyk 1-up in Ryder Cup singles in Europe’s victory.

“I got a little revenge,” he said.

This time the prize for Donald would be two-fold: His first season with multiple wins on the PGA Tour and the elevation to No. 1 in the world.

There were seven of the world’s top 20 players here this week, a field strong enough to push Donald past the idle No. 1 Martin Kaymer and No. 2 Lee Westwood.

Westwood would take the top spot with a win at the Indonesian Masters, where he holds a fivestroke lead, should Donald falter.

The two Englishmen exchanged messages about their play.

“Yeah, he sent me a message yesterday just saying, ‘Good playing,’ and I sent one back,” Donald said. “We’re obviously Ryder Cup partners and we’re friends off the course. We never wish bad on each other.”

Donald let a few early nerves show through by hitting his approach to par-5 second hole out of bounds left, leading to a doublebogey 7 that dropped him from the lead.

But Donald steeled himself with two solid par saves on the third and fourth holes when his iron play was shaky. He was in the rough in front of a trap on par4 third, yet chipped it up to 6 feet for the par.

Then, Donald was well right of the green on the par-3 fourth.

WHAT’S IN IT FOR

YOU?

Stephen Morton / The Associated Press

Luke Donald drives the ball down the 18th fairway from the tee during the third round of The Heritage golf tournament in Hilton Head Island, S.C., Saturday. Donald finished the day 11 under par for the day and in the lead going into today’s final round.

Again, he saved himself with the short game, chipping inside of 2 feet.

Donald regained his momentum on the par-5 fifth with a 12 footer for birdie.

“Those up-and-downs and keeping some momentum going where I wasn’t going completely backwards was big for me,” Donald said.

Brendon de Jonge (66) and Scott Verplank (67) were two shots behind at 9 under. Masters runner-up Jason Day (71), Ricky Barnes (67) and Tommy Gainey (67) were 8 under.

Furyk held the lead for much of the back nine at Harbour Town Golf Links, but bogeyed the closing lighthouse hole for a 69 to drop back.

Donald, who won the Match Play Championship and was fourth at the Masters, called on the steady, focused style that made him one of the world’s best to move back to the top with birdies on the fifth and seventh holes.

Donald’s put his approach on the 16th hole to 3 feet for his final birdie to reach 11 under.

Furyk had his chance to hold on to a share of the lead, but sent his second shot on the 18th hole into a bunker behind the green, and could not make the 16-footer for par after blasting out.

Furyk and Donald will be paired in the final group today for what sets up as a fabulous finish

in what might be the final Heritage. A PGA Tour fixture since 1969, the tournament is without a title sponsor, which tour and event leaders say is essential for returning in 2012.

Both have become Harbour Town masters, combining for 14 rounds in the 60s over the past three tournaments.

“I think I’m there, I’m in position and when I play well I feel like this golf course really suits my game,” Furyk said.

Also on Saturday: Levi, Fergus combine for 60 SAVANNAH, Ga. — Wayne Levi and Keith Fergus shot a 12under 60 in better-ball play for a share of the second-round lead with Peter Senior and Sandy Lyle in the Champions Tour’s Legends of Golf.

Senior and Lyle combined for a 61 to match Levi and Fergus at 20under 124 at The Club at Savannah Harbor.

The teams of Kenny PerryScott Hoch (62) and Tom Kite-Gil Morgan (63) were tied for third at 19 under.

a five-stroke lead in the Indonesian Masters, shooting his second straight 6-under 66 in the Asian Tour event.

Westwood can reclaim the No. 1 ranking from Martin Kaymer with a victory if Luke Donald fails to win The Heritage. Westwood had a 16-under 200 total at Royale Jakarta. Thailand’s Thitiphun Chuayprakong (69) and South Korea’s Park Hyun-bin (70) were tied for second.

Belgian leads China Open CHENGDU, China — Belgium’s Nicolas Colsaerts eagled the first hole and went on to shoot a 6-under 66 to take a one-stroke lead after the third round of the China Open. Colsaerts had an 18-under 198 total on the Luxehills International course. South Korea’s Han Chang-won (65) was second in the event sanctioned by the European Tour, China Golf Association and OneAsia Tour.

JOHN COSTA

The trouble with Flaherty

For 6 states, regulating greenhouse gas is a matter for the courts, but the Supreme Court thinks it’s the EPA’s job.

I

t must be hard being District Attorney Patrick Flaherty.

Imagine seeing enemies at every turn who, through no provocation or fault of your own, are ready to strike.

With evil lurking, there is no time for compromise or communication.

Opponents must be crushed.

So, fire the ungrateful workers, reward political cronies, besmirch county officials, drag the ingrates before a grand jury and insult the state Bar. If that doesn’t work, trash the sanctity of the grand jury process itself.

And if that fails, blame the newspaper — in this case The Bulletin — for your troubles.

And all over what?

In the grand scheme of things, little or nothing.

Leaving aside the union movement he has prompted in the District Attorney’s office and the multimillion-dollar wrongful dismissal lawsuit he has dumped in the taxpayers’ lap, just consider the latest explosion from Flaherty.

After he was elected, but before he took office, the district attorney-elect made it known that the services of several existing prosecutors would no longer be required.

This came despite his seeming commitment during the campaign to give everyone a chance to work with him.

In any case, Flaherty set out to fill those spots with his own hires, which, as The Bulletin acknowledged, was perfectly his right.

In fact, The Bulletin editorially recommended — something Flaherty and his supporters conveniently forget — that the county not recognize the union and give the new DA a chance to work with the employees.

But when he began to fill these and other positions, The Bulletin wanted to know the qualifications of the new public workers.

So we asked the county for any information it had on the hires, which is something news organizations do every day all across the nation. In Oregon, as in most states, it is a privilege granted by law.

Why? We taxpayers employ these public workers.

What we are looking for in their backgrounds is any information related to their capacity to do the job we pay them for. We are not looking for personal material unrelated to work.

When Deschutes County gave us the information we requested, it released phone numbers, addresses and drivers’ license numbers that could have been legitimately redacted.

That set off Flaherty, who subpoenaed our reporter and county officials to a grand jury, cost the county and The Bulletin thousands of dollars, and in the end received a letter of regret from County Attorney Mark Pilliod. I should add Flaherty secured $100 in costs from Pilliod.

Then an anonymous complaint was filed against Flaherty with the Bar, alleging that the district attorney used the grand jury process to settle a personal score — and off we went again.

This time it’s The Bulletin or one of its “agents” who lurked behind the complaint, leading the Bar by the nose.

How else, Flaherty asked, would we have known about the complaint before he had been notified?

Well, sir, you could have called and asked.

I would have been happy to inform you that we have a Salem reporter who regularly checks with the Bar and other such agencies for filings and has been doing so long before you became the district attorney.

I would also have informed you that we have phone numbers, e-mail and other addresses for prosecutors, police officials and myriad other public workers, given to us by them for contact on important stories.

And not in the 14 years that I have been editor have we published that information.

But even if you had called, there is one thing I can’t explain.

I can’t for the life of me explain how a person in your position breaks the seal of confidentiality that is supposed to surround grand jury proceedings and declares, as you did this week, that in your estimation the jurors thought Pilliod broke the law, even though they did not formally accuse him.

That’s below the dignity of the job the voters gave you.

John Costa is editor-in-chief of The Bulletin.

A

separation on power

By Adam Liptak New York Times News Service

“We urge this court to keep the federal courts open to states exercising their historic power to protect their land and their citizens from air pollution emitted in other states.”

WASHINGTON — A lawsuit by six states and New York City to force major power companies to reduce greenhouse gas emissions was met with seemingly unanimous skepticism from the justices last week during arguments at the Supreme Court.

No one questioned the basic premise of the suit — that greenhouse gas emissions contribute to global warming. But there was essentially no support for the states’ position that courts are the proper forums in

— Barbara Underwood, New York solicitor general

which to regulate the problem.

See Emissions / F6

“Asking a court to set standards for emissions sounds like the kind of thing that EPA does. The relief you’re seeking seems to me to set up a district judge, who does not have the resources, the expertise, as a kind of superEPA.” — Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg

BETSY MCCOOL GORDON BLACK JOHN COSTA RICHARD COE

Chairwoman Publisher Editor-in-chief Editor of Editorials

Water district has soggy logic

R

ecording a public meeting is not the kind of thing Oregonians normally find disruptive. And when recording a public meeting becomes an issue, it’s usually a signal

something else is up. It became an issue recently for the Deschutes Valley Water District. Doug Lofting, a Madras businessman active in county economic development, asked to record the water district board’s meetings.

The response from attorney David Glenn, advising the water district, was that it’s up to the presiding officer. That individual has the authority to keep order and impose reasonable restrictions for the efficient and orderly conduct of a meeting, Glenn wrote in an e-mail.

The dispute over recordings seems to have then died but the dispute is, indeed, more of a symptom than a cause. The issue is really the cost of water.

The Deschutes Valley Water District has been steadily supplying water to Jefferson County residents since 1919. It doesn’t suffer from lack of water. It has enough water rights for the next 20 plus years — unless population growth just explodes. And the district is in solid financial shape.

The district has two different water rates for customers. Most customers pay about one-third of a cent per gallon, at least for the first 700 cubic feet. Bottling companies — and only bottling companies — pay more.

Earth2o and Opal Springs both pay 1 cent a gallon.

Earth2o asked the district board to reduce its rate so it could compete better against other bottlers who don’t pay so much for water. Economic Development of Central Oregon also asked the board to consider a reduced rate so Jefferson County would be attractive to bottlers that might want to build plants there.

Edson Pugh, the district’s general manager, recommended a compromise — that water bottlers continue paying the same rate for the first $100,000 or so and get a discounted

rate for more than that. The proposal died.

The difference in rate was first adopted by the district in 1989. Pugh, the water district’s general manager, said the idea at the time was that water bottling companies pay more because they take a resource out of the county.

Eldon Barker, chairman of the district board of directors, told The Madras Pioneer that he is more concerned about the district’s other water users than water bottling companies.

He said he talked to as many as 100 people and they all told him not to cut the rates for water bottlers.

The issue is not simply about rates.

It’s about economic development.

Earth2o could relocate most of its bulk water business to Portland, for instance, and pay a fraction of what it is paying now for water. And EDCO has had zero success trying to attract other bottling companies to Jefferson County because they can pay much less for water somewhere else. Jefferson County doesn’t want to try to attract jobs?

The price of water has been an issue in the May election for the district’s board. A new board may see it differently. But one way the district could get a picture from its customers on what they want for the future is to put the question to an advisory vote on a Jefferson County ballot. It wouldn’t cost much to do that — it only cost the district $836 to have its board election on the May 2009 ballot.

The district would get clear direction on whether its customers believe the pricing policy holds water.

The special math of PERS

T

here must be some special logic that only state employees can understand.

The annual report of the benefits of Oregon’s state retirement system — yes, there is such a thing — says the $125 million in income tax paid in 2010 by plan beneficiaries is another benefit to Oregon’s economy.

But wait a minute. Oregon does collect $125 million in income taxes from employees in the Public Employee Retirement System. But it also pays some PERS members — those who have qualified service before 1995 — extra to compensate them for paying state income taxes. The net effect is: They don’t pay income taxes.

So is it right for the state to count that entire $125 million as a benefit, when Oregonians are paying

some PERS members for it? Doesn’t that at least deserve an asterisk and explanation?

We asked PERS about it.

“The State does not pay any income tax on behalf of any retirees,” wrote David Crosley, a spokesman for PERS, in an e-mail. “That being said, some member benefits were increased to compensate for the taxation of member benefits.” He went on to provide some helpful legal history.

He didn’t answer our question about how much of the $125 million is paid.

PERS does have obvious benefits to its members and Oregon’s economy. With all of the criticisms of PERS, it’s certainly worthwhile to remind people about them. It’s not worthwhile, though, to elevate an extra cost Oregonians pay to a benefit.

My Nickel’s Worth Wrong priorities Barry Bonds became another professional athlete who, we discover, has apparently used performance-enhancing drugs, but we couldn’t get him on that so we got him by a different route. Yet, we demand our athletes be stronger, run faster, hit more home runs, score more baskets, throw more touchdowns.

Just whose business is it if a gladiator wants to use drugs to better his place in the meat market? Absolutely no one’s!

After all, if the investment bankers and the other high-finance types who created our current economic crisis are not personally responsible, why is Barry Bonds (or Pete Rose, for that matter)? Ah, maybe it is because the gladiator is more visible and is therefore supposed to be an example to the public.

But the people responsible for trillions of dollars in losses are not visible and therefore need not be an example, or in any way responsible for the damage they cause. Somebody must be kidding! Where in the world are our priorities and values?

Bill 3560 would reimburse ranchers for losses due to wolf predation. We don’t want your money. We want the right to protect our livestock. The wolf, like the coyote, should be treated as a predator.

Regarding “risks of the game and costs of goods sold,” our death losses so far this year include 11 cows, which won’t raise a calf to sell this fall, 15 calves lost to weather or calving problems, and a bull that can’t breed. These losses total $41,000. Mountain lions and coyotes will kill a few more, and Mother Nature will take her turn. Five head were killed by lightning last year.

A bull was shot by bow hunters and died a slow death.

So, Mr. Valenti, I think I have the risks and costs covered, don’t you? If I were in the food business, I would have a backup generator. I have backup bulls. My cattle compete with international imports. Beef cattle receive zero government support. I operate four government grazing leases. If you were to spend the summer with me caring for the land, I doubt you would call me subsidized.

Ranchers and wolves

A good economy

Responding to W.L. Valenti’s letter in the April 11 edition, wolves were thrust upon us by the federal government. We had no vote. The livestock industry is stuck with dealing with them. The killing of livestock is only part of the problem. Wolves disrupt the behavior, breeding cycles and weight gains of livestock — be it cattle or sheep. The result is lost revenue.

In my opinion there are four elements for maintaining a viable economy for the common good: 1. Jobs that pay a living wage and produce products or provide services that sustain the common good and are competitive in the world market.

2. Employees who have a good work ethic, integrity, the ability to learn and to think logically.

3. Employers, entrepreneurs and unions that have the common good in mind while assuring safe workplaces, living wages, well-trained employees and an environment of respect and empowerment while earning a fair profit.

These goals can only be accomplished by these entities working together as a team.

4. A government that oversees and encourages the application of the above with a minimal amount of direct interference in how it is accomplished.

The application of the principle of subsidiarity is critical.

The two common denominators that can destroy any of the above four elements are greed and selfishness. The opposites of these, the virtues of generosity and unselfishness, are caught not taught from role models such as parents, teachers and sports, entertainment and media personalities. These two virtues, once caught, attain much of their resolve during difficult times through the acceptance of a higher power.

This is possibly one of the reasons that our Founding Fathers from the very beginning expressed their trust in God our creator in the Declaration of Independence. Today I’m afraid our Founding Fathers would not be politically correct.

In the end, what we need are ways to store alternative energy

By Fred Allehof Bulletin guest columnist

O

ne might conclude from my letter that I am a conservative obstructionist on the subject of alternative energy. Not true. I agree we must find a way to meet our energy needs without the use of fossil fuels, and conservation is an important step in this direction.

IN MY My concern is over solar and wind installations that claim to be cost-effective but in fact save money only if Uncle Sam finances them.

The “politically correct” propaganda leads President Obama, politicians and the public to think more solar and wind energy is the key to energy independence, thus hindering rather than helping our search for alternative energy.

Solar energy is a good source of energy, but only when the sun shines. Wind energy is a good source only when the wind blows. Until we find a practical, economical way to store energy, these sources won’t be viable for wide-scale ap-

plication. Such technical and financially feasible technology currently does not exist.

As an example of current technology, and to simplify the issue, let’s make some assumptions about an investor-owned electric utility. Suppose it has only two customers, each using 1,000 kilowatt hours of power per month V I E W at 10 cents per kwh, thus providing the utility $200 each month. For each customer, the utility spends $45 for fuel costs and $45 for fixed costs (building, operating and maintaining generating plants, transmission lines, etc.) for a total of $180.

Utility profit then is $20 per month.

Next, assume one customer installs solar panels capable of producing 1,000 kwh of energy each month. Further assume he uses 500 kwh for daytime use and sells the other 500 to the utility for 10 cents per kwh.

At night he buys back 500 kilowatt hours for use when there is no sun. He breaks even and owes the utility nothing

— erroneously termed “going off grid.”

The utility now has only $100 coming in, but $45 in fuel costs going out, and a full $90 for fixed costs for a total of $135.

Thus it goes from a $20 profit to a $35 loss. To regain the $20 profit, it could raise the second customer’s rate from 10 to 15.5 cents per kwh. Whatever the approach, someone is hurt financially as costs escalate.

The utility is undoubtedly happy with relatively few home solar installations because the state, to sooth environmental hysteria, mandates that a certain percentage of their generation be from alternative energy. It’s cheaper for the customer to pay for alternative generation than for the utility to do so. But wouldn’t the utility be forced to rethink rate structure if half of its customers went “off the grid”?

Next, let’s assume both customers went off the grid. The utility then takes in nothing, but still has fixed costs to supply customer needs at night. They then lose $90 a month. Losses are actu-

ally greater as they must store energy from customers for later use to meet nighttime needs.

In short, large-scale solar won’t work unless we find a viable way to store the energy. Until we do, we spin our wheels.

Let’s proceed on facts, not glamorized small-scale solar installations.

As for conservation and alternative energy resources: More insulation, efficient appliances, etc., are only part of the solution. Coal is abundant and cheap, but we must find ways to control harmful emissions. Nuclear is feasible, but we need ways to control or dispose of hazardous waste and cut costs and time involved in the permit process to build plants. Geothermal is cost-effective and feasible if tests preclude the possibility of resulting minor earthquakes. Hydro is feasible if there is a way to protect fish.

Government subsidies would be better spent solving nagging problems with proven and large-generation technologies than with chasing minor contributing generation schemes.

Finally, consider the effects of these “politically correct” imposed edicts: Low-flow toilets: People often must flush twice. A water savings?

Use of corn to make ethanol as gas additive: corn prices raised; uses as much energy to create as is realized. Suspected to detract from engine performance and may be harmful to older engines.

Sensible?

Solar and wind energy: cost-effective IF by government subsidy; results in escalating electric rates. Economic good sense?

These are but a few of the more “politically correct” environmental, timber, fish and wildlife restrictions of questionable content and result. I encourage reasoned and logical folks to consider that the term “political correctness” is little more than the pied piper of well-intentioned but illogical groups trying to lead the masses over the cliff to higher costs and less freedom. Think about it.

THE BULLETIN • Sunday, April 24, 2011 F3

O The wealthy have become targets L

ast week, President Obama reversed course once again and now wants to raise taxes on the “rich” making above $250,000 per year.

Obama is in dire need of additional revenue after proposing a $3.8 trillion 2011 budget — containing the largest deficit in U.S. history at an estimated $1.6 trillion. Yet his latest share-the-wealth proposals make little sense.

Obama never distinguishes between the super-rich and the well-off. At one point in justification, the president scoffed, “I don’t need another tax cut, Warren Buffett doesn’t need another tax cut.”

But Warren Buffett, unlike the building contractor or family dentist, is the world’s third-richest man, worth nearly $50 billion. And Obama is probably the most privileged person on the planet, with all of his expenses covered — from a nice free mansion at 1600 Pennsylvania Ave. to a huge private jet.

The rich and the poor are not separated across an impenetrable barrier.

The president’s $250,000 line in the sand is actually quite fluid. Most of those who make incomes above it did not do so 10 years ago — and they won’t, on average, 10 years hence. The income of well-off professionals and small-business people fluctuates widely as they ascend, peak and descend in earnings — given factors like health, age, and uncertainty in

If the president wishes to raise revenue, he might first close loopholes.

VICTOR DAVIS HANSON employment and business. It would be more accurate to say that raising taxes on the better-off is a sort of punishment for those who break into the top brackets for a few short years and try to be careful to save what they make and not spend what they don’t.

The super-rich pay in taxes a far smaller percentage of their income than do the well-off. An array of blue-chip tax lawyers and Byzantine write-offs — and paying at the capital gains rates rather than the income tax rates — allows the Buffetts of the world to praise higher taxes while they connive to pay at lower rates than most others. The IRS, for example, reported that the 400 richest Americans paid only 17 percent in federal income tax. A corporation like General Electric — run by Obama pal Jeffrey Immelt — paid no taxes at all on its $14.2 billion in worldwide profits.

Nearly half of American households pay absolutely nothing in federal income tax. For them, the once-dreaded April 15 tax day is more a welcome time of tax

credits, rebates and refunds. In February 2011, American households received more than $2.3 trillion in direct government support, more than was collected during those 28 days by the Treasury in personal taxes. In contrast, the nowdemonized top 5 percent account for almost 60 percent of all federal income tax revenue — a higher percentage than anywhere else in the Western world.

Until recently, falling revenue has not been the prime cause of these serial national deficits. In fact, the Treasury took in an all-time high of nearly $2.6 trillion in 2007. Unfortunately, wild spending has skyrocketed well above the pace of both inflation and annual revenue increases. Such profligacy ensures that even with a growing economy, increased tax revenues never match out-of-control spending.

If the president wishes to raise revenue, he might first close loopholes. That would ensure that those who owe taxes actually pay them. He could start with his own Cabinet. Treasury Secretary Timothy Geithner, who oversees the IRS, at one point did not pay his Social

Security and Medicare taxes and took improper write-offs. Attorney General Eric Holder, the nation’s top law enforcement official, did not pay long-overdue property taxes on a house he co-owned until recently chided to do so by the media. The husband of Labor Secretary Hilda Solis had overdue tax liens on property that went back 16 years. Cabinet nominee Tom Daschle withdrew from consideration due to past unpaid taxes.

So before raising taxes, the president might first urge the super-rich to pay their taxes at the income tax, rather than capital gains, rate. Next, he could remind his own Cabinet officers to pay all the taxes they owe. Then, he should offer to pay more of the first family’s costs when they jet to luxury spots like Martha’s Vineyard, Costa del Sol or Vail.

And finally, he might ask the nearly 50 percent of Americans who now pay no income tax to pay at least 5 percent of their income in federal taxes — to ensure that they see their government as a taker as well as a giver.

Do all that and we would have more money — and the president would be less likely to declare, “I don’t need another tax cut.”

MAUREEN DOWD was ordered to undergo “humiliating” body searches.

The second time the Anchorage Democrat was told to undergo the pat-down in mid-February, returning to Juneau after getting medical treatment in Seattle, she refused. She rented a car, drove three hours into British Columbia, took a plane from Vancouver to the small town of Prince Rupert and then got on a ferry for a two-day trip to Juneau.

Her fellow lawmakers in the Last Frontier, where people have to travel by air quite a bit, passed a bill she cosponsored pushing the TSA to rethink its methods because “no one should have to sacrifice their dignity in order to travel.”

Cissna, 69, who said the aggressive pat-down also stirred unpleasant memories of a teenage molestation, said she has gotten more than a thousand letters. The Alaska Legislature has asked the U.S. Senate to hold hearings.

“I don’t have a huge war against TSA,” she said Monday. “I have a huge war against government that isn’t looking carefully enough at the people that it serves.”

She asserted that the system does not seem smartly tailored to focus on dangerous people rather than “good, lawabiding people.” So kids, seniors and

those with disabilities, joint replacements and other medical conditions — things they already feel embarrassed about — end up getting harassed.

“Not only breast cancer veterans like myself,” she said, “but people who’ve had colostomies, any kind of alteration to their bodies that makes them look not absolutely 100 percent normal. And it is assaultive.”

One of my relatives, a distinguished federal official, recently sent a letter of complaint to the TSA about her experience submitting to a body search at Washington’s Reagan airport after the scanner reflected the shadow of the ostomy bag she wears on her abdomen.

Fearing that would happen, she had printed out the notification card on the TSA website, as she wrote, “so as to

“still elected to land.” Airport manager Marshall Reece said, “I got over 50 years’ flying, three tours in Vietnam, 23,000 hours.

“I can assure you I have never seen such a reckless disregard for human life in my life.”

Inhofe offered various explanations: He thought he had “unlimited” use of the airport space, landed to the side of workers, and is only being criticized because an airport official he didn’t name “hates” him.

One entity that doesn’t hate him is the FAA, which had every reason to ground him and take action for what might be considered, to quote its safety manual, “deliberate, willful violations which involve gross negligence, recklessness, recidivism” — Inhofe had two previous accidents, both very minor — “or flagrant disregard of” FAA rules.

Instead, Inhofe submitted evidence that he’d gone for remedial training, the equivalent of traffic school.

Unlike senators, who don’t have to say they’re sorry and play by different rules, Krakowski stepped up, setting a land record for speed — less than a month between public outrage and packing it in. We should name an airport after him.

discreetly inform the TSA agent of my medical condition. The agent would not even look at the card. ... The screening agent then did a hand search of my groin, breasts, under the waistband of my slacks and around my ostomy bag. ... Does having an ileostomy now make you a terrorist suspect?”

She has been rethinking how long she wants to work for the government in a job that requires a lot of air travel and says she would consider joining a class-action lawsuit against the TSA. John Pistole, the TSA chief and 26year veteran of the FBI, said he called Tom Sawyer, a 61-year-old bladder cancer survivor who had his urostomy bag dislodged, and urine spilled on him, after a rough TSA search in Detroit last November.

“I asked him to come in and provide some personal perspective that could be used in training to give greater sensitivity,” said Pistole, who flew Sawyer from Lansing, Mich., to Washington.

He said the TSA is trying to move past a “one-size-fits-all” program and implement a “a risk-based, intelligencedriven process” by the end of the year that would have more refined targeting.

If passengers are willing to share the same information they give to airline frequent-flier programs, he said, maybe someday they will be able to “keep their jacket on and their laptop in their briefcase and hang on to that unfinished bottle of water.

“I’d like to get to the point,” he said wistfully, “where most people could leave their shoes on.”

Air traffic snoozers risk ‘sky-hopping’ wake-up call

By Margaret Carlson Bloomberg News

WASHINGTON — ome mistakes are such doozies, with consequences so serious, that the only honorable thing for the perpetrator to do is own up, resign and make amends. In Washington, that rarely happens.

There may be as many as 6,600 mislabeled or unmarked graves at Arlington National Cemetery, and the closest thing to accountability so far is that two cemetery officials were allowed to retire. Bankers who threw the economy into a meltdown remain Too Big to Resign. Invade a country based on faulty rationales, then bungle the occupation? George W. Bush bestowed the Presidential Medal of Freedom on three architects of the war in Iraq.

No wonder voters are angry: Nobody’s ever wrong. Nobody’s ever sorry.

Then last week, someone was. Henry Krakowski, chief of the Federal Aviation Administration’s Air Traffic Organization, resigned after a string of frightening instances of air traffic controllers asleep at the switch — literally.

Krakowski, a Boeing 737 captain and former vice president of United Airlines in charge of safety who did aerobatic stunts on the side, was in charge of the country’s 15,000 controllers.

In January and again in April, a

S

controller at Seattle’s King County International Airport dozed off a total of three times, twice during the same shift. At Reno-Tahoe International Airport in Nevada, an airborne ambulance with a sick patient on board circled the runway for 16 minutes while a controller got his 40 winks.

The lapse that embarrassed the FAA the most occurred at Ronald Reagan Washington National Airport, 20 minutes from the Capitol. As the most frequent of fliers, members of Congress were outraged that two jets had to land on their own when they couldn’t rouse anyone.

There are a lot of officials at fault for the Rip Van Winkles in front of blinking radar screens, all the way up to Transportation Secretary Ray LaHood.

Pitifully, LaHood called for extending from eight to nine hours the minimum time between shifts, a gesture unlikely to make much of a difference.

At 27 airports, instead of one controller on the night shift, the FAA says there will now be two.

The one fix that could make a difference immediately is managing the inevitable fatigue of the late shift. Firefighters, emergency room doctors and others burning the midnight oil rest during their time on duty. In some European countries, air traffic controllers get a quiet room with a cot.

Earlier this year, a working group of officials from the FAA and the National Air Traffic Controllers Association looked at research by the Air Force, NASA and sleep experts and recommended that controllers be allowed to take naps while colleagues covered for them. They were ignored. When it came up again during the recent trouble, LaHood shot it down: “On my watch, controllers will not be paid to take naps.”

If Krakowski offers a class in accountability, there’s a senator who probably should attend.

Thanks to a Freedom of Information Act request by the website smokinggun.com, we learned last week the grisly details of a reckless, unauthorized landing by Oklahoma Republican Sen. James Inhofe last October at a Texas airport near his vacation house on South Padre Island.

Flying his own Cessna, Inhofe chose to disregard the giant X marking the runway as closed. He sent workers running for their lives as he “skyhopped” over them and six vehicles.

One was reportedly hit by debris, others felt the “backwash of the propeller” and still another, according to a supervisor, almost “wet his britches” he was so scared.

A senator wants to land where a senator wants to land. According to the FAA report, Inhofe noticed the X, but

U.S. needed the warning WASHINGTON — hank you, Standard & Poor’s.

The rating agency’s warning about the possibility it may downgrade the credit rating of the United States is a welcome wake-up call.

Another one. A few weeks back, Pimco, the world’s biggest bond fund, said it was eliminating its holdings of U.S. government debt.

Then the International Monetary Fund lectured the United States in a tone that sounded more suited to a teetering Third World country than the fund’s largest shareholder. A “credible strategy” to stabilize the U.S. national debt is “urgently needed,” the IMF warned.

Now comes Standard & Poor’s to lower its assessment of U.S. Treasury securities from “stable” to “negative” — meaning at least a one-in-three chance the U.S. debt rating could be lowered within two years.

It cited a “material risk” that there could be no agreement on how to deal with medium- and long-term budget issues by 2013. If nothing happens by then, “this would in our view render the U.S. fiscal profile meaningfully weaker than that of peer ‘AAA’ sovereigns,” S&P said.

In other words, our greatest intangible asset — the fact that the United States is viewed as the world’s safest investment — could evaporate. Pffft.Interest rates would rise. The economy would tank.

The higher cost of servicing the debt and the accompanying collapse of tax revenues would make it that much harder to escape this decidedly unvirtuous circle.

Truth is, you don’t have to be in the ratings business to see how difficult it will be for the United States to avoid this fate.

The dysfunctionality of the political system is evident to any casual newspaper reader.

In fact, you might wonder why anyone ought to listen to one of the very culprits who helped produce the current economic mess — and whether S&P is engaged in a bit of corporate butt-covering. As it happens, the S&P assessment arrived on the heels of a congressional report finding that inflated, and then suddenly downgraded, ratings of mortgage-backed securities by S&P and Moody’s triggered the financial crisis.

An S&P employee quoted by the Senate Permanent Subcommittee on Investigations likened the deteriorating mortgage market to “watching a hurricane ... moving up the coast slowly toward us.” That was in March 2007, even as the agency continued to issue AAA ratings for mortgage-backed securities, judging them as safe, ha ha, as government bonds.

The hurricane analogy applies equally well to the U.S. fiscal picture. The storm is gathering, although no one knows whether it will hit suddenly, with Category 5 force, or whether there will be time for an orderly evacuation once the first drops start to fall.

Which is why I’m thankful to S&P. The more shake-’em-up warnings that could prod the political system into action, the better. From the point of view of the Obama administration, you don’t want the financial markets overreacting to the news and therefore making economic matters worse — hence Treasury Secretary Timothy Geithner’s round of interviews saying that S&P was overly gloomy about the prospects for political agreement. At the same time, as long as the markets remain reasonably calm, as appears to be the case, the administration is happy to have the political classes riled up. Problem is, the administration has different messages for the two audiences, but only a single microphone.

As S&P noted, although the president and congressional Republicans agree on the need for debt reduction and are generally in the same numerical neighborhood, they are miles apart on how to achieve this.

Therefore, S&P said, “We believe there is a significant risk that congressional negotiations could result in no agreement on a medium-term fiscal strategy until after the fall 2012 congressional and presidential elections.” In such a case, the first budget that could include serious fiscal measures would be for the 2014 fiscal year, the report concluded, “and we believe a delay beyond that time is possible.”

It tends to take a looming crisis for politicians to take unpleasant — and politically risky — steps. The challenge of dealing with the debt is that no one knows whether there will be enough time between the moment politicians are ready to act and the point at which the situation unravels.

The potential contribution of Standard & Poor’s warning is that observing this phenomenon creates the potential to change it.

Stripped of dignity at the airports WASHINGTON — young computer programmer on his way to a pheasant-hunting trip last November offered a cri de coeur about government groping.

“If you touch my junk,” he told the TSA agent at the San Diego airport just before he abandoned his trip, “I’ll have you arrested.”

It’s hard to feel safe in the skies when you have to worry not only about terrorists but our own air-traffic controllers conking out, watching movies and making boneheaded mistakes. A controller’s error Monday evening put Michelle Obama’s plane frighteningly close to a 200-ton military cargo jet.

Ever since the Thanksgiving rebellion over intrusive new pat-downs that some have dubbed “gate-rape,” Americans have been debating security requirements versus privacy rights.

Consternation crackled again last week when a Kentucky couple posted video of their 6-year-old daughter being given the deep probe by a female TSA agent in New Orleans.

“We felt that it was inappropriate,” the girl’s mother, Selena Drexel, told ABC News. “You know, we struggle to teach our child to protect themselves, to say ‘No, it’s not OK for folks to touch me in this way, in these areas.’ Yet, here we are saying, ‘Well, it’s OK for these people.’ ” Alaska state Rep. Sharon Cissna has become a heroine for many women with breast cancer since she spoke out about the “twisted policy” of having the “invasive, probing hands of a stranger” on her, after scanners twice showed the scars from her mastectomy and she

Dedicated to her work Now 57, Clark looks and acts far younger than her years. Gone is the wavy hairdo that was analyzed almost daily during the nine-month Simpson trial. In its place is a sleek brown bob.

Instead of the stress and chain smoking are an easy smile and a warm demeanor that belies the bulldog nature she demonstrated in her attempts to convict Simpson in the murders of his ex-wife Nicole Brown Simpson and her friend Ronald Goldman in 1994.

“Rachel’s attitude is probably me. She’s compulsive, obsessive, dedicated and driven. I think I’m that kind of hockey puck,” Clark said, bursting into a laugh.

Clark never intended to incorporate so much of herself into her lead character, but after writing draft after draft of various books and showing them to friends and agents, she was confronted with the criticism that Rachel Knight, who works the same job as Clark did in the L.A. D.A.’s special trials unit, was an unreal “cream puff.”

Unintended echoes The specific scenarios and characters in the book are entirely fictional, Clark says. Still, her personal legal experience lends the plots and personalities legitimacy and provides intriguing insights into the inner workings of the judicial system and the importance of personal relationships in getting things done.

There are unintentional echoes of the Simpson trial in “Guilt by Association.” The murder in the book has sexual undertones, and there’s an air of racism to the rape, which involves members of Latino and white supremacist gangs.

“There are certain umbrella truths that are ever present in trials not just in L.A. but across the country,” Clark said. “Does race factor in? Sure. Gender bias?

Absolutely. In my opinion, gender bias is a bigger problem than race.”

Clark speaks from experience.

Showing the same dedication to writing that she demonstrated with trial work, Clark spent years experimenting. Decades of reading murder-mysteries was little preparation for the trial and error of fiction writing as she switched between the firstand third-person points of view and worked with various plots, only to finally find the voice and story line for “Guilt by Association” — the first of a two-book deal with Little, Brown’s Mulholland Books imprint. The follow-up, tentatively titled “Guilt

by Degrees,” will be out next spring.

“The writing process probably could have been easier than I made it,” she said of writing the novel. “But you know, that’s not my way. I’ve heard many authors say that they put in five to six hours a day and then knock off for the day. That didn’t work for me.

I needed to write nonstop until I got to the end. So I plunked myself down in front of the computer every single day and stayed there for as long as possible — sometimes 10 hours at a stretch, till I was cross-eyed and my shoulders were permanently wedged up against my ears. It’s kind of a kamikaze approach to writing, but it helped to keep me inside the story and the characters.”

LOS ANGELES — It’s telling that the title of Marcia Clark’s murder-mystery debut is smaller than her name on the novel’s cover. Clark is best known as the lead prosecutor in the media circus known as the O.J. Simpson murder trial. She’s less recognized as an author, even though her 1998 book about the case, “Without a Doubt,” spent nine weeks on the New York Times best-seller list.

Co-writing a book about one of the most notorious trials of the last century “didn’t have much leeway. I had a story that had to be told, and the facts were there,” Clark said.

Penning “Guilt by Association,” out April 20, was a lot easier and more “joyful” for the former Los Angeles deputy district attorney, who resigned in 1997 and now does court-appointed appellate work and appears as a special correspondent for “Entertainment Tonight.”

She’s been working on her debut novel since 2006.

Most best-selling authors would agree: One chart-topping book is no guarantee that the follow-up will do as well, especially when the genre is as radically different as it is with “Guilt by Association.” The story follows fictional L.A. Deputy D.A. Rachel Knight as she attempts to solve the murder of a colleague and the rape of a Pacific Palisades high school student. It’s “a beach read,” according to Clark.

Knight is a sassy, single, middle-aged brunette — an underpaid workaholic who believes in justice but disdains authority. Jaded and occasionally self-indulgent, she’s more than a little like Clark.

“There’s a lot of me in there,” admitted Clark, laughing between sips of iced tea at the Millennium Biltmore Hotel, where her literary alter ego resides in the novel. “A lot of the bad stuff.”

She was the first woman to serve in the special trials unit in the L.A. District Attorney’s Office in the ’90s. Contrary to public perception, Clark said she never experienced gender bias from Simpson attorney Johnnie Cochran or Judge Lance Ito during the trial.

But she added that women who are in the limelight, as she was, tend to get scrutinized in a way that men don’t.

“Looks are always considered a fair topic for comment in a way they never are for men. On a behavioral level, I think women are often in a lose-lose position: Don’t show emotion and you’re too tough. … Show emotion and you’re a wimpy ‘girl,’ not strong enough to handle the gig. Although I think we’re making strides to get out of those binds, it’s going to take awhile before women are judged with a fair measuring stick.”

Lawyering isn’t typically known for eloquently written legal briefs, but Clark said part of the reason she became a lawyer was that she loved to write.

Even 16 years after O.J. Simpson was acquitted, Clark said she still thinks about the case every day.

“I think about a lot of my old cases. Not just that one,” Clark said. “There’s so much sadness.

Handling those kinds of cases where loved ones were murdered and you’re dealing with the victims, their lives are forever changed no matter what you do.

There’s no amount of justice that can take away the hurt or pain they go through. You live it with them and carry some part of it with you. You never get away from that.”

3. “Unbroken” by Laura Hillenbrand (Random House)

The sexual appetites of her father, Henry VIII, the sexual politics of her mother, Anne Boleyn, the politics of succession and the success of Protestantism gave Elizabeth Tudor a throne, but her own shrewdness, prudent intelligence and political savvy made her a queen for the ages.

Elizabeth I’s story has been retold and romanticized in hundreds of novels, biographies and films, but in “Elizabeth I” Margaret George, a Wisconsin native and bestselling author, has found a way to refresh Elizabeth’s story, breathing new life into this iconic historical figure.

Set in the last 25 years of Elizabeth’s reign, the novel is actually a tale of two formidable women, Elizabeth and her second cousin, Lettice Knollys. The women are a study in contrasts, and switching between each woman’s firstperson narrative makes the characterization that emerges of Elizabeth I even more fascinating and poignant.

Both women were born of a Boleyn, Elizabeth to Anne, Henry VIII’s second wife, and Lettice to Catherine Carey, the daughter of the other Boleyn sister, Mary. Despite being relatives, the women were no longer friends since Elizabeth exiled Lettice from court for secretly marrying one of Elizabeth’s favorite statesmen, Robert Dudley, the Earl of Leicester.

Whereas Elizabeth only “uses lust as a bait,” living up to her title of the Virgin Queen, Lettice beds many men, including Shakespeare, for political purpose and personal pleasure.

While Lettice manipulates, cajoles and plots with Machiavellian flair to keep her son, the Earl of Essex, in court, Elizabeth is portrayed as an aging monarch, a woman who must find color from a “rouge pot, not from the blood

pulsing just beneath.”

George explores the last two decades of Elizabeth’s life as a “journey to wisdom and disillusion.”

George is rigorous in her research and in her presentation of the minutiae of the period.

Elizabeth’s final years are documented meticulously down to the intimate details of her menopause and her consternation when presented with a flushing toilet for the first time.

George leaves no detail unexamined, but toward the middle of the novel I wished she had. I wished for a swifter pace, for characters to do more and report less, for a plot shaped to build suspense. I wished for more novel and less biography.

In the end, though, George gives readers an uncommon portrait of an uncommon woman, a monarch of complicated paradoxes and unswerving principles.

She took “England as her spouse,” making her virginity “a visible sacrifice” that bound her to her subjects, allowing her to keep the most powerful men in her kingdom at her side as equals. Constricted in the tight corsets of an age, Elizabeth managed to loosen the stays enough to build an empire with one “mistress and no master.”

‘Little brat’ Ramona After losing her mother, author finds secular path through grief still evokes delight Real kids identify with Beverly Cleary’s characters

“The Long Goodbye: A Memoir”

by Meghan O’Rourke (Riverhead, 307 pgs., $25.95)

By Carolyn Kellogg Los Angeles Times

By David L. Ulin L os Angeles Times

CARMEL VALLEY, Calif. — Ramona Quimby is everywhere. She’s outside the front door of Beverly Cleary’s retirement community apartment, on a poster that proclaims: “Libraries are forever!” She’s on a sideboard in the living room, in the form of a life-size bust, hair wild and face cut into the shape of a grin.

Most important, she’s on the bookshelf in Cleary’s neat, spare bedroom, along with the author’s other books, 40 or so of them, the work of half a century. Asked which is her favorite character, the 95-year-old doesn’t hesitate. “Well, it must be Ramona,” she says in a low, matterof-fact voice. “She was just a little brat in ‘Henry Huggins.’ She was sort of an accident because it occurred to me that all the children appeared to be only children. So I tossed in this little sister, and at that moment, a neighbor called out to another neighbor who happened to be named Ramona. So I just named this little girl Ramona. And she kept growing in the Henry books. And my editor said she would like a whole book about Ramona, and I was thinking about it myself.”

There’s a sense of both serendipity and tenacity to such an anecdote, two qualities that define Cleary as well. For many years, she has been an icon — not just of children’s literature but also of American literature, the writer who changed everything with the publication of “Henry Huggins,” her first novel for middle readers, in 1950.

In the decades since, she has been a Newbery Medal and Honor winner; she’s a recipient of the National Medal of Arts and has been declared a living legend by the Library of Congress. Ramona has become the mascot for Drop Everything and Read Day, which takes place in libraries and schools each year on Cleary’s birthday, April 12. Later this month, she will receive the Robert Kirsch Award, presented each year to a writer in the American West for lifetime achievement, at the Los Angeles Times Book Prizes.

Yet talking with Cleary, it’s impossible not to connect the writer with the child she once was. Sitting in a comfortable corner chair in her living room, wearing blue pants and a blue sweater, eyes wide behind big glasses, she exudes an air of, if not innocence exactly, then wonder, a delight with the world. “If I don’t enjoy what I’m writing,” she says simply, “I put it in the wastebasket. Because if I don’t enjoy writing it, why would anybody enjoy reading it?”

A little later in the conversation, she elaborates: “I’ve had an exceptionally happy career.”

In the beginning That exceptionally happy career has its roots in Cleary’s early life. Born in 1916 in rural Oregon, she was labeled a problem reader in first grade after her family moved to Portland — the result,

she insists, of her first-grade Reader, an “incredibly stupid” book. By the time she reached sixth grade, however, she was already thinking she might want to be a writer.

“We were assigned to write an essay about a favorite book character,” Cleary recalls, “and I wrote an essay that included a number of favorite characters, and the teacher said that when I grew up I should write children’s books. So I put that in the back of my mind.”

Later, as a children’s librarian in Yakima, Wash., in 1939 and 1940, she had another aha moment, when “a little boy faced me rather ferociously across the circulation desk and said: ‘Where are the books about kids like us?’ ” All these years later, Cleary laughs, remembering this as a flashpoint in her life. “He had me there,” she goes on, “because there weren’t any. The only one I could find was called ‘Honk the Moose’ by Phil Stong, but it was about farm boys. It wasn’t about town kids. And so I put that in the back of my mind as well.”

What this suggests is a certain single-mindedness, a strength of purpose. But even more essential is Cleary’s identification with younger readers, who she felt were not being served. “Cleary’s unerring sense of the inner lives of children, not to mention animals, continues to speak to kids today,” Susan Patron, former youth services librarian at the Los Angeles Public Library and the author of the Newbery Medalwinning middle-grade novel “The Higher Power of Lucky,” says in an e-mail. “She showed me that the inner life of any child, the dynamics of family and pets, can be captured as rich, comic, fascinating, poignant, and meaningful.”

‘I wanted to write’ For Cleary, the motivation was simple: “I wanted to write,” she says, “about ordinary American children. The books I grew up with and found in the library … so many children lived in England and had nannies and pony carts, and I just wanted grubby neighborhood kids.”

This is the secret of Henry Huggins, who — along with Ramona; her big sister, Beezus; and the other residents of Portland’s Klickitat Street — centers so many of Cleary’s books: that in their stories, generations of children have seen themselves. “They’re full of humor, they’re full of heart,” points out Sharon Hearn, who

for 25 years has owned the Los Angeles’ store Children’s Book World. “The emotional life of children doesn’t really change, and she has always addressed that with great skill.”

For all that children may not be fundamentally different, the world has changed since Cleary began writing, becoming a harsher, less forgiving place. “I can remember walking to the park,” she says, “and the neighborhood library, and nobody worried about me. And I once had a letter from a girl who said she was stunned that Ramona could go to the park alone.”

Yet her books continue to resonate. Partly, it’s the example she has set, the authors she has influenced, those who write what Hearn calls “slice-of-life books.”

Without Cleary, there’d probably be no Judy Blume; no Barbara Park, whose Junie B. Jones seems a direct descendant of Ramona; no Megan McDonald, author of the “Judy Moody” series; nor even, Patron suggests, Jeff Kinney’s “Diary of a Wimpy Kid.” What all these authors do is bring a low-key realism to the territory of childhood, highlighting the dramas, large and small, of daily life. “I remember a sentence from an English class in college,” Cleary says, “that the proper subject of the novel is universal human experience. And that’s stayed with me all those years.”

Such an aesthetic marks even her most unexpected writings — “Ribsy,” for instance, which unfolds from the perspective of Henry Huggins’ dog, or “The Mouse and the Motorcycle” (and its two sequels), in which the hero is a sentient mouse. These are departures for Cleary, although she argues that they too come directly out of the everyday.

Although she stopped writing after 1999’s “Ramona’s World” — “I thought there was a time when you should just stop,” is how she puts it. “Some writers dribble on …” — her work reflects such an engagement, in which stories help us navigate the world. “One little girl,” she says, recalling a letter from a reader, “said there were five children in her family so you know how hard it is to get the television set, she said, so I just move in my room and read and it’s like having my own little television set in my head.”

Sitting in her living room, looking at the bust of her beloved Ramona, Cleary cannot help but smile.

To face death without the architecture of belief may be devastating, but when endured by gifted writers, it results in a potent genre: the memoir of loss. There was Joan Didion’s “The Year of Magical Thinking,” about the death of her husband, which won the National Book Award for nonfiction in 2005 and was later made into a stage play; this year Joyce Carol Oates published her own memoir, “A Widow’s Story.” Literature like this may be one of our best hopes for a secular reckoning with grief.

Add to the canon the talented young writer Meghan O’Rourke, who was 32 when her 55-year-old mother died of cancer in 2008. Her memoir, “The Long Goodbye,” chronicles her caretaking and sorrow.

O’Rourke grew up in a happy home, with married, affectionate parents. The family — which included her two younger brothers and well-loved dogs — lived in Brooklyn and often spent summers in Vermont. There is an idyllic charm to it all, and O’Rourke evokes one of those summer nights in the book’s opening pages, establishing a bulwark of life fully lived against the sickness and death that follows.

Her mother died at home, wasted by illness — 2½ years earlier she’d been diagnosed with advanced colorectal cancer. There was no cause, other than her terrible luck.

O’Rourke’s parents, both educators, had moved to Connecticut after decades in New York City, where O’Rourke herself lived and worked as an editor at Slate. After the diagnosis, O’Rourke commuted regularly to spend time with, then help, her mother.

“As it was happening, my mother’s decline did not seem inevitable,” she writes. “My mind kept holding out the promise of more time.”

If this sounds familiar, like the first stage of Kübler-Ross’ five stages of grief (denial, anger, bargaining, depression, acceptance), O’Rourke might agree, but she’d likely take issue with your assumptions. Those stages, she says, are all mixed together, as contemporary research shows. What’s more, Kübler-Ross used them to describe the emotions of the dying, not of those who are left behind.

As if following this template of mixedup emotions rather than a chronological structure, the book is fractured and cyclical, moving among doctors’ appointments, childhood holidays, bad news phone calls, a shopping trip, hospice and back again. The path of the book itself seems to be driven by O’Rourke’s unpredictable tide of grief.

During the 30 months of her mother’s illness and the year that followed, O’Rourke married — coincidentally, when her mother was in remission — had her own health scare, divorced, quit her job, went away to writers’ retreats, struck up a longdistance affair, found some friendships impossible to maintain, rekindled a romance with her high school boyfriend and taught college writing classes.

Those events, however, never take center stage.

Instead, the focus remains on her mother, on trying to care for her and on O’Rourke’s wrestling with grief. The effect of her circuitous storytelling is that her mother remains present in the text even as we know she is dead: She’s as present for the reader as she must be for the children and husband who lost her.

“After my mother’s death, I felt the lack of rituals to shape and support my loss,” O’Rourke writes. “I found myself envying my Jewish friends the practice of saying Kaddish, with its ceremonious designation of time each day devoted to remember

the lost person.”

Raised in a secular household, O’Rourke longs for ritual and for explanation that she sees in communities of faith.

She can’t quite accept that her mother is gone; she doesn’t entirely believe it. Yet even though she writes that she senses her mother — in the wind, as a voice, in a peaceful moment — she reveals that others locate her elsewhere.

Without a clear belief system, she’s left with small handfuls of incoherent, hopeful contradiction.

It’s not the most satisfying aspect of the book, but it does not feel untrue.

O’Rourke finds some solace in books.

She uses them to find different kinds of understanding, to give voice to her pain and shape to her frustrations. Her long list of further reading includes Shakespeare, poetry and analytical works looking at dying and grief. What she finds is that in 21st-century America, grief has become “the last taboo.” She wants to display her grief so she might be given a berth of kindness, rather than the daily shove and rush of New York City. In her life, some friends can’t comprehend how her world has shifted, while she makes deep new bonds with others who do. She wants to talk about her sadness past the time when those discussions are, in her community, acceptable.

“I kept thinking, ‘I just want somewhere to put my grief,’ ” she writes. “I was imagining a vessel for it. … I had the sense that if I could chant, or rend my clothes, or tear my hair, I could, in effect, create that vessel in the world.”

She has succeeded, for this book becomes that vessel. It’s a secular ceremony, one that memorializes the mother’s best aspects, her daughter’s effort to be present throughout her decline and the terrible, common burden of being the person who continues to live.

Writer follows the trail Heartfelt tale has serious themes of ‘Little House’ books ‘ONE WAS A SOLDIER’

“One Was a Soldier”

by Julia Spencer-Fleming (Minotaur, 336 pgs., $24.99)

By Jane Henderson St. Louis Post-Dispatch

ST. LOUIS — Wendy McClure is a “Little House on the Prairie” fanatic.

She’s not the kind of fan who loves Michael Landon’s dimples or Laura and Nellie’s mud fight in the TV series. She’s also not the kind who dredges up quotes to promote libertarianism. Nor does she home-school or read New Pioneer magazine for survivalist tips.

McClure is the old-fashioned “Little House” devotee: She read all of the books as a girl and loved them.

“I think it’s because the descriptions were so vivid and also something about the point of view — there’s immediate identification,” McClure says from her home in Chicago. Her love of the “Little House” books led to a road trip, a sunbonnet collection and a new book, “The Wilder Life.”

“I can’t believe I get to spend all day talking about Laura Ingalls Wilder,” she said recently, beginning her fifth interview of that day.

McClure collected at least six bonnets herself while traveling to “Little House” sites in Missouri, Wisconsin, South Dakota, Minnesota, Iowa, Kansas and New York. During her trips, she waded in Plum Creek, watched pageants and Laura look-alike contests and beheld Pa Ingalls’ real fiddle in Mansfield, Mo. McClure read the nine-book series in the 1970s and early ’80s and thought the “Little House” stories were “almost as self-contained and mystical as Narnia or Oz,” she writes in “The Wilder Life.”

Except that the hardscrabble pioneer life was better, McClure continues, “because unlike those wholly fictional realms, the ‘Laura World,’ as I’d come to think of it, was a little more permeable. It shared space with the actual past, so things from it could make their way into my world, where I could look for them everywhere.”

Now 40 and a senior editor at the children’s book publisher Albert Whitman & Co., McClure knows Laura World wasn’t all it was cracked up to be: Cooking with salt pork and making candy using syrup and snow just isn’t as yummy as it seems in the novels.

Although her devotion is directed toward the Depressionera books, McClure is also up on modern academic debates over

how Laura’s daughter Rose edited (even rewrote) her mother’s work and knows why the women are now evoked as heroines by some conservative politicians.

Rose Wilder Lane was the only surviving child of Laura and Almanzo Wilder. Born in the Dakota Territory in 1886, she was young when the family gave up on their farm after years of bad luck and illness. In 1894, they moved to Missouri, which was promoted as the Land of the Big Red Apple.

In fact, Almanzo Wilder found land in Mansfield that had apple trees and the family bought it using a hundred-dollar bill as down payment. There, the couple worked hard and gradually built a fairly modern home at Rocky Ridge Farm. He and Laura lived in Mansfield for the rest of their lives. (Laura Ingalls Wilder died in 1957 at age 90; Almanzo died in ’49 at age 92; Rose died in 1968 at 81.)

Laura Ingalls Wilder wrote farm columns for the Missouri Ruralist starting in 1911 and, after losses in the stock market crash, published her first novel in 1932.

The success of the children’s book, “Little House in the Big Woods,” and its sequels finally earned Laura and Almanzo a more comfortable living. According to publisher HarperCollins, its books connected to the series have sold more than 60 million copies in 20 languages.

Although most of the novels were based on Laura’s childhood and her restless father’s frequent moves through other states, she wrote all of them in Missouri. She started writing them after age 60, and in 1954 a story in the PostDispatch quoted the 87-year-old author as saying, “I live by myself and do my own work. These years are very pleasant with good health, good friends and kind neighbors all around me.”

The 1954 article ends by saying Wilder “is intensely interested in current events, politics and the economics of the nation.”

Her best-known book, “Little House on the Prairie,” features excitement in every chapter, with Indians, panthers, wolves, wildfire and malaria all portrayed as threats the settlers survive. At the end of the exciting story, the U.S. government is blamed for kicking the Ingallses off Indian territory (the Indians were shipped off, too).

The Mansfield home has about 35,000 annual visitors.

“Little House” fans (of both the books and TV series) make the pilgrimage from at least 20 countries every year, according the Greg Goss, assistant to the Wilder association’s director.

“People just still identify with Laura’s story,” he said by phone.

“They are here to pay homage.”

During her own trip, McClure admired the Ozark scenery and a nice display of Rose’s artifacts from her travels around the world: Lane even reported on the Vietnam War while in her 70s.

In “The Wilder Life,” McClure scoffs at overly sentimental “Little House” plaques about the simple things in life.

She writes that she can see that Rose’s troubled relationship with her mother made the farm’s Rock House a “Little House in the Complicated Family Dynamic.”

Throughout her record of her Wilder travels, McClure recounts her feelings trying to merge her love of the books with the real-life places and history. While trying to learn more primitive skills, she runs into survivalists, and usually stays mum about her disinterest in faith-based passion for the stories.

McClure’s “Little House” quest comes off as both universal and personal. Like millions of other readers (generally women), McClure fantasizes about homesteads that look just as charming as Garth Williams’ pictures for the books.

But unlike most fans, she also has read hundreds of pages on the Wilders and knows their history. “The Wilder Life” is a bit of a mash-up of Wilder biography, travel journal and author observations.

Travels to Laura World, McClure says, didn’t diminish how she felt about the books. And she learned something as a writer: “You always imagine these other writers living these beautiful lives. In reality, great books are born in all kinds of places.”

By Oline H. Cogdill (South Florida) Sun Sentinel

A hallmark of Julia SpencerFleming’s engrossing novels about Rev. Clare Fergusson is how a flawed person of faith maneuvers in contemporary society. Being a religious person is not synonymous with perfection, as Clare, an Episcopalian priest, shows time and again.

Clare, last seen in 2008’s “I Shall Not Want,” makes a most welcomed return in “One Was a Soldier,” the seventh novel in this series. Known for enfolding tough society issues in her intelligent plots, Spencer-Fleming explores the problems of soldiers returning to civilian life, including how female soldiers deal with deployment. While the subject is

member of the support group is killed, Clare pushes Russ to investigate the death as a homicide, even though the clues point to a suicide. The victim’s past in the Army suggests that the former solider may have been targeted.

“One Was a Soldier” skillfully illustrates the difficulties a soldier may have in trying to settle back into a previous life. Spencer-Fleming makes each character three-dimensional as she treats each’s service in Iraq with respect and concern. SpencerFleming also sensitively shows how addiction can overwhelm a person, especially one who isn’t the stererotypical skid-row addict. As Clare tries to come to terms with her addiction to pills and alcohol, she worries that she’s “not strong enough. ... that loving (Russ) and God won’t be enough to keep (her) afloat.”

Although Spencer-Fleming’s last novel was three years ago, “One Was a Soldier” is one of her best and most heartfelt in this superior series.

serious — and the author deftly handles this with sensitivity and sophistication — Spencer-Fleming never forgets she is writing crime fiction, not a dissertation.

“One Was a Soldier” is a briskly paced mystery accented by realistic, fully formed characters and solid twists and surprises.

In “One Was a Soldier,” Clare returns to her duties as the priest at St. Alban’s in Millers Kill, N.Y., and to police chief Russ Van Alstyne, her not so-secret lover. But adjustment isn’t easy and she can’t shake the 18 months she spent flying helicopters in Iraq. Clare’s drinking has spiraled and, on the quiet, she’s popping the pills left from her Army medical kit.

Clare finds some solace in a support group for other returning soldiers, although anonymity isn’t possible since all the members are from the same small town and have known each other for years. When a

ADMISSION:

Emissions Continued from F1 Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg, for instance, told a lawyer for the states (California, Connecticut, Iowa, New York, Rhode Island and Vermont) that the job was better suited to regulators at the Environmental Protection Agency.

“Asking a court to set standards for emissions sounds like the kind of thing that EPA does,” Ginsburg said. “The relief you’re seeking seems to me to set up a district judge, who does not have the resources, the expertise, as a kind of super-EPA. “Do we ignore the fact that the EPA is there and that it is regulating in this area?” she asked.

The New York solicitor general, Barbara Underwood, acknowledged that “this is a very peculiar moment in time for this case to arrive in this court.” But she said the Supreme Court should not block the suit until promised regulations from the federal agency are actually in place.

“A lot can happen to delay or derail the fulfillment of a promise,” Underwood said, perhaps referring to the political controversy surrounding such regulations.

When the lawsuit was filed in 2004, the EPA under the Bush administration took the view that the Clean Air Act did not permit it to issue regulations addressing climate change and that it would be unwise to do so in any event.

The suit said the courts should step in to protect the states from a “public nuisance” created by the defendants, five power companies collectively responsible for a quarter of carbon-dioxide emissions by utilities in the nation. Judge Loretta Preska of U.S. District Court in Manhattan dismissed the suit, saying the “bal-

ancing of economic, environmental, foreign policy and national security interests involved” was a task “consigned to the political branches, not the judiciary.”

In 2009, more than three years after an appeal from Preska’s decision was argued, a twojudge panel of the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit, in New York, reversed her decision and allowed the case to proceed.

The panel originally included Judge Sonia Sotomayor, but the decision was not issued until after her elevation to the Supreme Court. Sotomayor has recused herself from the case at the Supreme Court.

Since the suit was filed, the legal and political landscapes have changed. In 2007, the Supreme Court ruled that the EPA had the authority to regulate some emissions and was required to do so unless it had a scientific basis for its refusal. In the wake of that decision and following a change in administrations, the agency has issued regulations concerning emissions from cars and is at work on others controlling industrial emissions.

The justices on Tuesday did not seem inclined to accept Underwood’s suggestion that they not dismiss her clients’ suit until regulations are in place.

Instead, they seemed receptive to arguments that the suit was too sprawling and intrusive, and they spent much of the argument debating the right ground on which to rule against the states.

Neal Katyal, the acting U.S. solicitor general, argued in support of the defendants.

“In the 222 years that this court has been sitting, it has never heard a case with so many potential perpetrators and so many potential victims,” Katyal said at the start of his argument.

Chief Justice John Roberts Jr. later asked Underwood for a counterexample, but she could not supply one.

Justice Elena Kagan questioned the plaintiff’s “public nuisance” theory, one sometimes used to stop, say, utilities from dumping pollution into rivers.

“One factory emitting discharge into one stream,” Kagan said of such suits. “They don’t involve these kinds of national, international policy issues of the kind that this case does. I mean, there’s a huge gap, a chasm between the precedents you have and this case, isn’t there?”

Underwood resisted, but not very much. “I don’t know if I would call it a chasm,” she said, “but there’s a large distance between them.”

Peter Keisler, representing the defendants, said the theory behind the lawsuit was flawed.

“To classify climate change as a tort,” Keisler said, “would trigger a massive shift of institutional authority away from the politically accountable branches and to the courts, which we think would be inconsistent with separation of powers.”

Underwood countered that at least one branch of the government had to be ready to act.

“We urge this court,” she said, “to keep the federal courts open to states exercising their historic power to protect their land and their citizens from air pollution emitted in other states.”

But Roberts seemed to capture his colleagues’ mood in sketching out his own hesitation about the suit.

“The whole problem of dealing with global warming is that there are costs and benefits on both sides, and you have to determine how much you want to readjust the world economy,” he said. “That’s a pretty big burden to impose on a district court judge.”

Help for inventors who want to actually make stuff

LEGISLATURE’S COST INCREASES LEAVE A MARK

Contractors seek relief; others ready to offer it

By Jenna Wortham New York Times News Service

Plenty of people want to build a popular website and become the next Mark Zuckerberg. But some technology entrepreneurs have a more old-fashioned goal: They want to make something you can hold in your hand.

Like, actual stuff.

This can be risky territory, since making a physical product often requires a big upfront investment, and the smallest setback can wipe out profits. But inventors are getting around the hurdles — in part by using the Web to find backers and buyers.

They are also thinking small, as in smaller products and accessories that require less capital and are relatively easy to make and distribute.

Dave Petrillo and David Jackson, for example, friends and mechanical engineers from Pennington, N.J., had an idea for beanshaped steel shells that go into a cup of coffee and quickly cool it to a drinkable temperature, then keep it warm longer. The shells contain a heat-absorbing gel.

The two men spent nine months fine-tuning the design for the beans, which they called Coffee Joulies. Then they scraped together $3,000 and built 100 prototypes by hand in Petrillo’s parents’ basement.

Efforts in Salem to alleviate recent burden on small-time operations

By Ed Merriman The Bulletin

A sign painted on the tailgate of Kris Bales’ pickup says “Angry with government — Headlights on.” It’s a reflection of his anger about skyrocketing licensing, bonding and insurance costs Oregon lawmakers have imposed on building contractors.

“I want to get the word out about the real-life consequences of House Bill 3242,” said Bales, owner of Bales Construction of Bend.

Oregon lawmakers passed the 66-page bill in June 2007 when the construction industry was flying high and he was doing more than $2 million a year in business, but the fee hikes didn’t hit until this year, when the construction industry statewide remains depressed and Bales’ business is down 85 percent to around $300,000 a year.

IN THE With construction companies in Bend and LEGISLATURE across the state closing their doors, Bales said this is a bad time to nearly triple state-mandated licensing fees, workers compensation insurance, bonding and liability insurance costs for building contractors.

“I had no idea this was coming down the pike,” Bales said after learning about the higher fees and insurance costs taking effect when contractors renew their licenses this year. For Bales, it hit April 13.

State Rep. Jason Conger, R-Bend, said he has been looking into the increased costs imposed under HB 3242 since he was contacted recently by Bales, the Central Oregon Builders Association and others.

Kris Bales works on a swinging shop door Thursday. Bales, owner Bales Construction Inc. in Bend, said that because construction work is scarce, building contractors can’t afford a tripling of state-mandated fee, bonding and insurance costs, increases that are taking effect this year.

At right, Bales shuffles through some paperwork. “I had no idea this was coming down the pike,” he said; the changes hit Bales earlier this month.

New York Times News Service

“Just for the privilege of being a general contractor in the state of Oregon, it now would cost me $9,020 more per year or $752 more per month for exactly the same work I was doing prior to April of 2011.”

Dan Provost has co-invented the Glif, which acts as a kickstand for the iPhone, and the Cosmonaut, a marker-shaped stylus for the iPad. “We didn’t have any experience with bringing a commercial product to market,” Provost says. “But we are approaching a new method of product development.”

STAGING YOUR HOME FOR SALE

Seek every edge in this market

By Paul Gores Milwaukee Journal Sentinel

MILWAUKEE — In today’s supercompetitive real estate market, any little edge to help potential buyers envision themselves in the house you’re trying to sell can make a difference.

That’s why Milwaukee-area Realtor Beth Jaworski winced recently when she showed a client a house that the owner apparently hadn’t considered “depersonalizing” when he put it up for sale.

“It was clearly a hunter’s house,” she said. “It had the deer heads.

And it had guns and camouflage.

The average person, if they’re not a hunter, that is not a turn-on.

That’s a turnoff.”

But it’s not just the hunting tro-

phies that need to be packed away to make a home more appealing, real estate professionals say.

There are key steps — besides putting a realistic, post-housing bubble asking price on the property — that can make a house stand out amid an immense inventory of “for sale” signs.

“Keep in mind that the buyer has a lot of choices in today’s market,” said Colleen Sprague, co-owner/ broker with Firefly Real Estate in Wauwatosa, Wis. “It’s most likely the shiny apple that’s going to get picked. It’s the same with houses.

It’s to a seller’s benefit to make their house shine. It absolutely is.”

How do you make it shine?

Direct-sales fashion can turn homes into high-end boutiques

Steps to take before you put it up for sale To compete in this tough housing market, according to the pros, you must:

By Doris Hajewski Milwaukee Journal Sentinel

• Set a realistic price.

• Remove wallpaper and then paint with warm, neutral colors.

• Eliminate pet odors.

• Reduce clutter.

• Clean thoroughly all parts of the house, including the carpet. If the carpet is in poor condition but covers wood floors, pull it up and refinish the floors.

Can’t sell it? Sell from it

Thinkstock

• “Depersonalize” the house of unique colors, displays of collections and hobbies, and family pictures so buyers can envision themselves moving in.

• Make sure there are at least 10 high-quality photos of the interior and exterior on your agent’s website.

MILWAUKEE — Cookies shaped like dresses and little potted plants are part of the pampering that women who shop with Sheila Schmitz-Lammers sometimes get — along with fashion advice and personal service.

All of this happens at Schmitz-Lammers’ Elm Grove, Wis., condo, which four times a year turns into a showroom for Worth Collection, a line of highend clothing that is sold to an elite clientele.

It’s a highly personal selling proposition that goes on all over the U.S., through word-of-mouth connections at the country club, the Junior League and char-

ity organizations, but is mostly invisible to ordinary folks who equate shopping with a trip to the store or a session online.

“It’s exclusive. You’re in the know,” said Anne Brouwer, a senior partner at McMillan/ Doolittle, a Chicago retail consulting firm.

It’s also pricey, although not as high as runway designer clothing. Along with Worth, the direct-to-consumer women’s brands sold in this area include Doncaster, Carlisle, and Etcetera. A pair of Worth pants goes for about $300. Etcetera skirts and pants run $165 to $195. Like any products sold in homes, they aren’t typically marked down.

That’s a big plus for the companies in a world where shoppers are obsessed with getting a deal. The manufacturers also don’t have any expense for storefronts and marketing campaigns, Brouwer noted.

Why is the head of Zappos smiling?

By Motoko Rich New York Times News Service

HENDERSON, Nev. — Tony Hsieh, chief executive of Zappos .com, the online shoe and clothing retailer, was sitting in an office he rarely uses at the company’s headquarters here, recollecting the high and low points of his childhood. He had just finished putting a roomful of corporate managers through the same exercise, and now it was Hsieh’s turn.

After pondering for a long moment, Hsieh, who sold Zappos to Amazon.com for more than $1 billion in 2009 and whose book, “Delivering Happiness: A Path to Profits, Passion and Purpose,” spent 27 weeks on the New York Times best-seller list last year, identified the high as a Halloween night in middle school, when a group of trick-or-treating friends ended up at his family’s home.

The low point: missing the last dance of eighth grade because he was taking an SAT test the following morning. “I remember being pretty disappointed,” he recalled.

Hsieh, 37, seems in some ways to have spent his career trying to re-create that Halloween night while salving the wounds left by that missed dance. So there he was on a balmy midwinter night, hosting a party at his suburban Las Vegas home for a group of managers and would-be entrepreneurs who had paid $4,000 each to be marinated in Zappos’ wacky, free-to-be-me ethos for the company’s two-day Culture Boot Camp. Hsieh circulated discreetly in a Zappos hoodie sweatshirt, jeans and black Donald J. Pliner slip-ons, wandering among the living room, with its enormous flat-panel television and custombuilt scooter rack, a room done up like a hookah bar, and the back patio, where a shimmering pool was surrounded by Miami Beachstyle beds.

The Zappos ‘tribe’ The festivities were in keeping with Hsieh’s ongoing campaign to build his community, or, as he frequently writes in his book, his “tribe.” In the Zappos offices, costume parades are commonplace, as employees wind among cubicles plastered with posters and mementos that give the headquarters a teenage aesthetic. Zappos recruits talk breathlessly of the Fourth of July barbecues and New Year’s Eve parties that Hsieh hosts every year at his home.

And although he lives alone, assorted friends, business associates and people he’s met on book tours keep his five guest rooms in heavy use.

Unlike fellow Harvardian Mark Zuckerberg, Hsieh (pronounced shay) is not yet a household name, even among the legions of customers who delight in Zappos’ large selection, free shipping and free returns. There is not yet a movie cribbing his rise to dot-com success. But he has become a celebrity in entrepreneurial circles, having sold his first company, LinkExchange, to Microsoft for $265 million when he was just 24, and for turning Zappos into the largest seller of shoes online.

His profile is also growing: He appeared as a judge on “Celebrity Apprentice” two years ago; he has

Hsieh, who said he prefers Grey Goose and soda, noted that the diet didn’t stipulate the size of those glasses. “I have been trying to find every loophole possible,” he said.

Business savvy

New York Times News Service

Tony Hsieh’s book, “Delivering Happiness: A Path to Profits, Passion and Purpose,” spent 27 weeks on the New York Times best-seller list last year.

1.8 million followers on Twitter (One recent post: “Swam in Silverton mermaid aquarium on my birthday! Wore costume b/c they don’t allow birthday suits.”); and his book appeals to a broad swath of teachers, students, parents and even dating gurus who see in it a broader message of self-improvement. The Culture Boot Camp drew a mix of entrepreneurs and managers eager to meet Hsieh, including the head of retail operations for the Marine Corps and a church youth-group consultant.

Now, Hsieh is hoping to spread his vision to downtown Las Vegas, where Zappos recently announced it would be moving its headquarters to the former City Hall. In an unglitzy area of the city rarely seen by casino-bound tourists, Hsieh envisions, among other things, a zipline connecting bars, clubs and the Zappos offices.

Reading “Delivering Happiness,” one could get the impression of Hsieh as a gung-ho Michael Scott type (if he actually motivated his employees on “The Office”). He misquotes from his favorite movie, “Pretty Woman” (“I was living the fairy tale,” his version of “I want the fairy tale”), describes elaborate office pranks and urges companies to “make WOW a verb.”

Yet in person, Hsieh, who has close-cropped black hair, speaks quietly and with little inflection.

In a group, he calls little attention

to himself and often lingers on the sidelines. “He draws energy from people,” said Alfred Lin, a Harvard classmate of Hsieh’s who was Zappos’ chief financial officer until last year. “But he’s not an overtly ‘Hey, I’m the center of the party kind of guy.’ ” At times, Hsieh comes across as an alien who has studied human beings in order to live among them. That can intimidate those who are not accustomed to his watchful style. “I have been in job interviews with him where you are expecting more, and it can be awkward silences,” said Ned Farra, who manages relationships with other websites for Zappos.

“He is not afraid of it. It is almost like he is testing you.”

Hsieh said that he deliberately surrounds himself with people who are more outgoing than he is, in part to draw himself out. On the night of the party at his home, Hsieh introduced Antonia Dodge, a “personality assessment consultant” to Zappos, to explain why he often appeared somewhat “staid.”

Hsieh has “a form of social phobia,” Dodge said. “But he gallantly walks over it by not letting it stop him and always pursues social situations. And second, he lubricates with tons of vodka.”

Indeed, Hsieh clutched a metal shaker full of red wine because he and two colleagues were following Tim Ferriss’ “4-Hour Body” diet, which prohibited hard alcohol but allowed two glasses of

Jason Levesque, a Harvard friend who worked at LinkExchange, recalled Hsieh’s self-effacement. When inviting friends to play a video game, “he was obviously the best at the game, but he would sort of hide that in order to get everyone to play,” Levesque said. Like Zuckerberg’s, Hsieh’s success has been built in part on his ability to anatomize the way people crave connections with others, and turn those insights into a business plan. He has never pretended to be interested in shoes and began his involvement with Zappos as an investor. But by promoting the perks of a highly social company where workers get free sodas and popcorn, decorate their cubicles, are invited to share their ideas and can climb the career ladder from inside, Zappos is able to pay below-market salaries for its more senior workers.

“We want them to work for us for reasons other than money,” Hsieh said with a shrug.

Although his admirers credit Hsieh with having created a unique (and unified) culture at Zappos, others point out that what he is doing is actually simple, and perhaps not so original.

Nick Swinmurn, the Zappos founder, who left the company in 2006 because he grew weary of attending “meetings about meetings,” said Zappos’ wackiness was as much about publicity as strategy. “One thing Tony is good at is he definitely catches on with what might seem interesting as a story,” Swinmurn said. “At the be-

ginning you had everyone young and single, and we had beds for employees to sleep in and a ton of Red Bull, but that’s what every dot-com did.”

Hsieh makes a point of appearing at key company events to mingle. At a quarterly awards party for employees who exceeded sales targets or were being promoted, he sipped a vodka and soda (it was his day off from his diet) and watched intently as various teams showed lighthearted homemade videos, including one where staff members satirized the television show “Glee.”

In a room that felt a bit like an evangelical youth conference, Hsieh seemed eager to demonstrate that he, too, was a fun-loving guy. He disappeared to the men’s room and returned with an iPhone photo of a miniature football goal that was placed in each of the urinals — an innovation that Hsieh suggested to the managers of Nacho Daddy, where the party was held and in which he is a silent partner. And he gamely joined several employees at the karaoke microphone, barreling through the lyrics of “Signed, Sealed, Delivered, I’m Yours” and “Take on Me” in an off-key voice.

Then he quietly slipped out from the party. Employees talked affectionately about him after he had gone. “Sometimes I look at him, and I say, ‘He is such a dork,’ ” said Lauren Glassman, a buyer in the action sports clothing division, as she downed a goblet of beer. “But at the end of the day, we are all dorks.”

Several real estate agents recommended hiring a “stager” — a professional with an eye for decorating who can tell a seller what needs to be done to make the home more appealing, right down to how to group furniture and what to put on the fireplace mantel.

Carol McNally, right, tries various summer clothing combinations with the help of Celeen Flemma, who meets clients in her Mequon, Wis., home as part of her business. She sells Etcetera clothing, a high-end line that makes sales through social networking and individual contacts.

Boutiques Continued from G1 The companies are privately owned and low-profile, so sales figures aren’t available. But they are a tiny portion of the $107 billion U.S. market for women’s apparel.

“We are competing for a share of a woman’s closet,” said Laura Kendall, president of Tanner Companies, the North Carolina parent company for the Doncaster brand. The recession was a challenge for Tanner, the oldest company among the high-end direct segment. But sales are improving this year, Kendall said.

How it works Celeen Flemma uses a room in the basement of her home in Mequon, Wis., as a showroom for Etcetera. She started selling the line 10 years ago, when it was a new concept for the Connaught Group, the parent company for Carlisle.

“You start out with people you know,” Flemma said. “I spent a lot of time going through different groups I was associated with — school, country club, volunteers.”

The high-end fashion lines operate similar programs: The reps get a week to sell each season’s line — spring, summer, fall and winter. Samples of each line, about 300 pieces, are shipped to the rep’s home, where she sets up displays. The rep invites prospective customers to come in alone or with a friend or two to see and try on the clothing. Customers place orders and their items are shipped to their homes or to the rep.

When the week is done, the rep packs up the samples and sends them on to the next rep in the rotation. A rep gets a percentage of sales, typically 25 percent, but she must pay expenses to operate her business, including some of the shipping costs for the samples.

It’s possible to earn enough to support yourself by selling a fashion line, but it’s a side job for many, the reps say. Average income for a woman who sells Doncaster four weeks a year is about $20,000, according to Ellyn Cooley, marketing director for Tanner.

Schmitz-Lammers started selling Doncaster during the 1990s, after returning to Wisconsin from Germany, where she lived for many years and developed a love for quality clothing. She built up a client list by starting with her neighbors in her former neighborhood in Bayside. After 10 years,

Under fire at Coca-Cola: BPA in cans Cox News Service It’s about as inconspicuous as a ubiquitous chemical can be: It coats the insides of soft drink cans, a barrier against spoilage and contamination. But to some critics, bisphenol-A is itself the health risk. Now, a group of CocaCola shareholders want to strike a blow against the substance.

Packaged goods companies use bisphenol-A to guard against contaminants and extend shelf life, but critics fear it may be dangerous for pregnant women, very young children and unborn babies. Standardized toxicity tests generally indicate low levels of human exposure to BPA are safe, the Food and Drug Administration said 15 months ago.

Investors will vote this week on a resolution that would require Coca-Cola to issue a report disclosing how it is responding to concerns about the safety of BPA and outlining a plan to develop alternatives. Coke’s board of directors want investors to reject the resolution, arguing its cans are safe.

Schmitz-Lammers switched to Worth because she liked the company’s fashion-forward designs.

“It’s high-end clothing, but not as expensive as Needless Markups,” Schmitz-Lammers said, using a nickname for high-end department store Neiman Marcus.

“You need a lot of networking to find women who need these types of services. A lot of my clients who are high-income business women don’t have time to run around shopping.”

The reps said such women were willing to spend a lot of money in one visit in order to get a full season’s wardrobe in one shopping trip. But the sellers of the highend lines say there are some challenges to selling in the Milwaukee area.

“We’re very comfortable about who we are here,” said SchmitzLammers, adding that fashion is just not the big thing for many women.

On the other hand, there isn’t a lot of competition in stores with the privately sold lines.

“They’re competing more with a fairly high-end that doesn’t particularly exist in Milwaukee,” said Sandra Keiser, chairwoman of the fashion department at Mount Mary College.

The reps keep records of what their customers purchase and can make suggestions for new additions that will coordinate with what’s in a woman’s closet. But that doesn’t always guarantee that women in the same social circles won’t show up at the same event in the same outfit from a popular line such as Etcetera.

“At the Cancer Lunch, six of us had the same three-quarter length duster coat on,” recalled Renee Ferrara of Shorewood, Wis. “It was humiliating.”

Ferrara, a former Junior League president, was recruited into the upscale direct sales world

by Worth because of her social connections. The company looks for women who have a list of at least 200 prospective buyers.

Ferrara switched recently to selling a Dallas-based custom men’s line, J. Hilburn, a task that she says is easier than the women’s business. By using the same social-networking skills, Ferrara calls on businessmen and typically brings her samples directly into executives’ offices.

“Men want to be told what to wear. They’re looking for guidance,” Ferrara said. “If you start in one office and you get six guys and they’re happy, they’ll give you six more.”

Homes Continued from G1 For starters, take down the wallpaper. Buyers don’t like it, real estate pros say.

“Removal of all wallpaper is huge,” said Steve Bergelin, a sales associate with Realty Executives Integrity in Hartland, Wis. Jaworski said wallpaper is too individualized to the current owner’s tastes.

“Buyers just do not like wallpaper. It’s so personalized. If you go into a wallpaper store, there are thousands of patterns. Why is that? It’s because people are very particular,” Jaworski said.

Still, some buyers are trying to sell houses with a different kind of wallpaper in every room, real estate agents said.

That puts them at a disadvantage to a seller who has “neutralized” personal tastes by removing wallpaper and repainting with warmer colors — not white.

“White is not a color,” said Brian Wickert, who is managing broker of Accunet Realty Advisors LLC and president of Accunet Mortgage in Butler, Wis. “And no matter how much you might like that passionpurple bedroom, your house needs a fresh coat of paint in warm neutral colors to win the real estate beauty contest.”

Clutter also has to go.

“De-cluttering is a real important step that I think a lot of sellers overlook,” said Sprague.

“We live in a house differently than we sell it, and packing away things that you don’t use gives the buyer the opportunity

to walk through and mentally put their things in the house.”

Said Wickert: “People also get blind to the clutter. Ninetyfive percent of sellers need an honest but tough assessment of what needs to get put in storage.”

Carpeting is another issue.

Buyers frown on houses that have a different color of carpet in every room. If the carpet would cost too much to replace but it has hardwood floors underneath, the best option probably is to pull it up and show the floor, Sprague said.

But if you can afford to replace it before you put the home on the market, it makes a big difference, Jaworski said. She estimated the cost at $1,000 to $3,000, depending on the areas that need to be covered.

“It doesn’t need to be real expensive carpet, just mid-grade,” said Jaworksi, recommending “Realtor beige” as the color.

“Realtor beige that flows right through, that will change the house’s appearance like you wouldn’t believe.”

Maintenance is key Dave Schmidt, of Dave Schmidt Realty in Milwaukee, said evidence the house has been well-maintained is important, right down to the front doorbell. With inventories high in a slower market, buyers expect to be able to move right in and not face neglected maintenance issues, he said.

“It sounds corny, but make sure your front doorbell works, because everybody rings it,” Schmidt said. “It’s one of those signs that, ‘Hey, if you’re not willing to have your front door-

bell work, what other things don’t work?’ “ A likely sale killer, agents said: Pet odors.

“Smelly properties don’t sell,” Wickert said.

Sprague put it this way: “If I can smell it, I just can’t sell it.

That’s typically what agents say.”

Hiring a ‘stager’ Several real estate agents recommended hiring a “stager” — a professional with an eye for decorating who can tell a seller what needs to be done to make the home more appealing, right down to how to group furniture and what to put on the fireplace mantel. Some real estate agents also act as stagers. Jaworski said an independent stager might cost $200 to $400, although actions the stager suggests — such as new carpeting and paint — will cost more.

Some said that because most house-hunting starts today on the Internet with virtual tours, sellers need to make sure that photos of the house that appear on the real estate agent’s website or elsewhere are of high quality.

Bergelin said the Internet and social media now offer additional

ways to present properties that are for sale.

Agents also said television shows about home remodeling and selling have made people more aware of the process and trends, even in paint colors.

Speaking of color, it can pay to add some outside the house to make it more inviting. That means pots of flowers near the front door. Unlike wallpaper, flowers are liked by almost everybody.

In the end, it usually comes down to a house in the best condition at the best price.

“Homes that are priced right versus their immediate competitors that are in great condition are the ones that get 30 showings in the first week on the market and three offers. It happens,” said Wickert.

He added: “Properties that are in so-so condition and priced the same or higher than other competing listings are going to sit for a really long time and may never sell.”

Contractors Continued from G1 “As you can see from Mr. Bales’ situation, the impact is really materially harmful to small contractors,” Conger said. “My intent is to look into this and give some relief to small contractors.

“We are all aware of how hard contractors have been hit in this downturn,” Conger said. “The last thing we need right now is exorbitant increases in fees that will hurt small contractors and put people out of work.”

Conger said he is studying the 66-page bill with plans of finding a way to revise it or pass a new bill to ease the effects on small contractors.

A decade of increases Bales said contractors had already been hit with a wave of license fee and insurance increases during the boom years from 2000 to 2005, before the additional increases were approved in 2007 with passage of HB 3242.

During the five-year period from 2005 to 2010, Bales said, his general contractor’s license fee rose from $25 to $130 per year, his contractor’s liability insurance premium increased from $500 per year to $2,711 per year, and his state-mandated, all structures general contractor bond went from $300 to more than $2,155.

Overall, he said, those license, bond and insurance costs soared from about $825 per year in 2005 to more than $4,231 per year as of 2010, a fivefold increase before HB 3242 even took effect.

HB 3242 split the residential contractors license and commercial license into two categories, requiring a contractor who used to pay one license fee and purchase one bond to begin paying two license fees and purchase two bonds, which Bales said added nearly $4,500 to the cost of getting the licensing and bonding necessary to do residential and commercial work as of this year.

The law also required the owners of construction companies to pay workers compensation insurance for themselves at a cost of more than $4,133 each, or $8,266 per year for a husband and wife operation like Bales’, and an additional $5,422 liability insurance cost to do commercial construction, which more than doubled the cost because one liability insurance policy previously covered both residential and commercial construction for companies that did both, Bales said.

Scott Barrier, a government relations specialist with the Oregon Home Builders Association, also confirmed Friday that OHBA is working to ease the impacts of HB 3242 on members who do both residential and commercial construction, who he said were hardest hit by the provisions of the bill doubling the licensing and bonding requirements. Those requirements mandate one set of fees and bonding costs to do residential building and another set to do commercial building.

“We oppose it, because we have contractors that do both,” Barrier said. “It was a bad piece of legislation when it was passed, and it still is.”

Bales said that overall, his state-mandated costs would have more than tripled this year alone, due to the increases in HB 3242.

Since he couldn’t afford to pay double fees, bonding and liability costs, he said, he had to scale back to renewing his license to do residential construction only, limiting his option to do commercial work.

“So, because of HB 3242, just for the privilege of being a general contractor in the state of

Oregon, it now would cost me $9,020 more per year or $752 more per month for exactly the same work I was doing prior to April of 2011,” Bales said.

He said he “never had to use any of the insurance,” so the increased costs for liability or workers compensation weren’t the result of any rate hikes specific to his business.

Andy High, vice president of government affairs at the Central Oregon Builders Association, said Friday the association has heard numerous complaints from builders about the soaring costs imposed under HB 3242.

High said the association’s lobbyist, John Chandler, has been working with lawmakers to find a legislative approach to lessen the effect on small contractors.

“We talked to our area representatives and let them know what is going on. Hopefully we can get (a bill) to move,” High said. “There are definitely changes that need to happen soon to keep guys in business.”

A depressed industry With nationwide housing starts at the lowest levels in decades, Bales said he cannot believe anyone would think it’s a good idea to raise fees, insurance and bonding costs for builders.

Because of the soaring fees and costs, Bales said he could only afford to renew his residential contractors license and had to let his commercial license lapse.

In the past, about half of his construction jobs were residential and the other half were commercial, but now the pool of potential jobs he can bid on has itself been cut in half due to HB 3242.

Bales, 53, got his start building homes at age 16 when he spent a summer helping his grandparents build a new house in Joseph.

In his 20s, he alternated between jobs building houses, working as a backhoe operator, and logging.

However, after two of the three lumber mills between Joseph and Wallowa shut down, Bales packed up and moved to Bend in 1990, where he built houses, apartments, office complexes and other projects until 1998, when he opened his own company, Bales Construction Inc. “For the first 10 years, I was busy all the time — busy to the point of wondering how I was going to do it all,” Bales said.

Then the recession hit his business about 21⁄2 years ago, Bales said, and his business plunged.

“My business shrank from me and an average of 20 to 30 guys, including subcontractors, down to just me and my wife, who keeps the books,” Bales said.

Even after scaling back to a mom-and-pop construction company operated out of his home, Bales said it’s been a struggle to make ends meet.

For Bales, one of the worst provisions of HB 3242 was the requirement that owners of small construction companies purchase workers compensation insurance for themselves. “Since the slowdown, it’s just my wife and I,” Bales said. Under HB 3242, he now must pay more than $4,133 for each of them in workers compensation insurance premiums.

Barrier said legislation has been introduced to ease that burden by allowing owners with health insurance to forgo buying workers compensation insurance for themselves, but that bill was not scheduled for a hearing and may be dead for this session unless lawmakers can stuff those provisions into a bill that’s still alive in the 2011 session.

“This is going to put some builders out of business if we don’t fix it,” Bales said. “I just hope we can get something done before it’s too late.”

Continued from G1 Making the first batch “was harder than we originally thought,” Petrillo said, so they began hunting for a way to speed the process. They found one in an unlikely place: a video clip on YouTube featuring a silverware factory in upstate New York. Making the handles of knives turned out to be similar to making Joulies.

Then, like a growing number of other inventors and designers in need of capital, the men turned to Kickstarter, a startup in New York that lets people present a sales pitch for a creative project and ask others to put cash behind it. This allowed them to gauge the appeal of the project before sinking a lot of time and money into it.

“We thought about investors and design competitions, but when we saw Kickstarter we decided to go for it,” Petrillo said. They created a three-minute video to demonstrate their product and said that anyone who gave them $40 would get five Coffee Joulies. They hoped to raise $9,500, but within a few weeks they have raised $177,000, and the total is still rising.

Yancey Strickler, one of the founders of Kickstarter, said the company originally thought the site would attract more one-time projects and experiments, like plans to record an album or make a documentary film. But he said Kickstarter had been pleasantly surprised to see homespun gadgets and inventions bubble up in popularity.

“We didn’t realize we would move in this direction, but these projects are ingenious and clever and we want all of them to work,” he said.

Strickler pointed to one of the first gadget-focused projects on Kickstarter to gain significant momentum, the TikTok, which turns an iPod Nano into a wristwatch. Its creators raised nearly $1 million.

“I think people really value having a good story to tell about how they got that watch,” he said.

Tom Gerhardt and Dan Provost, designers living in New York, came up with an accessory for the iPhone 4 called the Glif, which acts as a kind of kickstand or mount for the phone. The project was so successful on Kickstarter — more than 5,000 people placed an order — that the two decided to form a company and use the site to start a second project, the Cosmonaut, a markershaped stylus for the iPad. That project has attracted more than 3,000 backers.

“We didn’t have any experience with bringing a commercial product to market,” Provost said. “But we are approaching a new method of product development.”

Technology specialists say the interest in projects like these is part of a cultural shift, in which shoppers are increasingly looking for a more intimate connection to the creators and the sources of the things they buy, reflected in the surging interest in farmers markets

“People are becoming more cognizant about where their things are made and are starting to expect the same information transparency about where everything they buy is from.”

“People are becoming more cognizant about where their things are made and are starting to expect the same information transparency about where everything they buy is from,” said Rachel Botsman, co-author of the book “What’s Mine Is Yours: The Rise of Collaborative Consumption.”

“They are looking for smaller suppliers they trust,” she added.

The makers of the Coffee Joulies and the Cosmonaut had another selling point: They could boast that their products were made in the United States.

They found recession-battered U.S. factories that were willing to work with newer producers and make products in smaller runs.

The Coffee Joulies are made at Sherrill Manufacturing in Sherrill, N.Y., whose workforce has dwindled to 15 from a peak of 160 in the 1990s, according to its president, Matthew Roberts. It stopped making silverware last summer and now rents space to small industrial businesses.

Roberts said his company had agreed to cover half the cost — about $10,000 — of the custom stamping tools to produce the Joulies, with the understanding that the product’s creators would pay the money back once their company was off the ground.

“We haven’t had a lot of experience with things like this,” he said. “But we’re looking for business. We’re fighting to turn around.”

The lower barriers to entry in making electronics and other products are also attracting the attention of venture capitalists — including some who have

made their fortunes in the online realm. The startups they back are more likely to outsource their manufacturing overseas.

“We’re starting to see a shift around consumer electronics,” said Ben Horowitz, who co-founded the venture capital firm Andreessen Horowitz. “It’s possible to build hardware companies that are completely outsourced — you don’t need to have the labor or the factory. There is a much lower risk to invest capital in them.”

Horowitz’s firm recently placed a $49 million bet on Jawbone, a San Francisco company best known for its Bluetooth headsets. It will use the money to develop more mobile devices that make use of its voice technology.

Other hardware startups include Boxee, a New York company whose software lets people watch movies and videos from the Web on a television. It released a set-top box last year called the Boxee Box, which has a dedicated following of early adopters. Peel, a small company

in San Diego, recently began selling a small, pear-shaped device that turns an iPhone into a television remote. The company released an initial run of 1,000 Peels that sold out within two weeks.

A number of factors are smoothing the path for fledgling inventors, including low-cost or free design software, cheap prototyping services and social websites that make drumming up interest easy and inexpensive.

The situation resembles the way that anyone with a laptop and an Internet connection can now start a Web-based company, says Eric Von Hippel, a professor of technology and innovation at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology’s Sloan School of Management.

Specialists like Hippel say these approaches are not likely to usurp the larger production models that dominate the electronics and technology industry. But they say that the climate is right for a microboom of mini-Edisons.

“It’s so much easier to make stuff now,” Hippel said.

A city wagon for sensible Side mirrors distort distance for a reason yet zoom-zooming families

By Brad Bergholdt

McClatchy-Tribune News Service

Q:

By Warren Brown Special to The Washington Post

I frequently get e-mails from parents seeking the “right” vehicle for their young families. “Right,” in this case, R E V I E W refers to reliability, safety, utility, fuel and overall operational economy, point-of-sale affordability, and fun.

They would prefer that their new ride not be a minivan, station wagon or sport utility vehicle. They are parents opposed to traditional images of mobile parenthood.

They might have lusted for SUVs in their teenage and pre-married years. But now they have children and understand the need for preserving an environment in which clean air, green grass and potable water come as standard equipment.

They are not tree huggers. But they are keen about demonstrating environmental maturity. They, at least, want to be seen as doing the right thing.

Yet, style, in the traditional “fashionable” sense of the word, matters much to them. They like beauty. They actively pursue it.

Feel matters to them, too. Small is one thing. Cramped is another.

They want space and utility in a manageable package.

Car companies globally have tried to satisfy the competing, often contradictory, needs and desires of the YPG (Young Parent Group) class. Some companies have tried to do it the old-fashioned way — employing marketing euphemisms to give young families what they need while concealing the absence of much of what they want. Thus, minivans and SUVs became “crossover-utility vehicles” or “crossovers” and station wagons became “sport wagons.”

The exercise has yielded some outright oddities. Consider, for example, the ill-conceived 2011 Honda Accord Crosstour. It is part sedan, part minivan, part wagon, part sports car, part SUV, part everything. It seems based on the notion that anyone who wants all those things in a single package must have the money to buy it.

Mazda, Honda’s scrappy fellow Japanese rival, takes another approach with this column’s subject.

The Mazda5 looks like a minivan because it is a minivan — a miniminivan complete with rear sliding doors. But for more palatable marketing purposes to the YPG class, a group for which the term “minivan” has largely fallen into disfavor, I prefer the term “city wagon.” That fits nicely into the

A:

Mazda via The Washington Post

The 2012 Mazda5 city wagon looks like a minivan (because it is a minivan), yet it offers a driving experience on par with fun-to-drive-sports-car handling in a variety of conditions.

2012 Mazda5 Sport city wagon Base price: $19,195 As tested: $20,420 with optional satellite radio ($430) and a $795 destination charge.

Type: A compact, front-engine, front-wheel-drive minivan/wagon of unitized body construction with two swing-out front doors, two sliding rear doors and a rear liftgate/hatch.

Engine: It comes with a standard 2.5-liter, 16-valve, double-overhead-cam in-line four-cylinder engine with variable valve lift and timing (157 horsepower, 163 foot-pounds of torque). A six-speed manual transmission is standard. A five-speed transmission with automatic or manual operability is available.

Mileage: 21 mpg city, 28 mpg highway. lifestyles of neighborhoods such as Bardstown in Louisville, Ky., or the university communities in Syracuse, N.Y., or Chapel Hill, N.C. This city wagon is certainly priced right for academic assistants and researchers working on subtenure salaries, or trying to eat, afford shelter and study on student loans. The starting price is $19,195 for the base Mazda5 Sport, the version driven for this column.

For that, you get a beautifully, distinctively sculpted front-wheeldrive wagon with comfortable seating for four and emergency seating for six. “Emergency” applies because the two rear seats make sense only for small children on short trips. They are tiny and much too close to the rear hatch door for my safety tastes.

But here’s the reality: Most young families consist of two parents and one or two children. A young couple with four children is in a different cost-and-needs bracket.

But a young family — I’m think-

ing two plus two — that fits well into the Mazda5 will find something close to motorized heaven.

It’s beautifully styled inside and out. Fit and finish are excellent.

And for those people who like to drive, a genuine six-speed manual gearbox is standard. Also available is a five-speed transmission that can be operated automatically or manually.

I love driving. But my wife, Mary Anne, has no patience for manual transmissions. We chose the five-speed automatic-manual and came closer than I wanted to come at this point in our fragile fiscal lives to choosing to blow our budget.

The reason had little to do with appearance and everything to do with road performance in weather fair and foul on good roads and those considerably less than desirable. Handling was excellent.

We expected clunky economywagon handling. We got something altogether different — on par with fun-to-drive-sports-car handling, which seduced us into driving hundreds of miles more

No rush to replace the timing belt on a low-mileage sport utility vehicle

By Paul Brand (Minneapolis) Star Tribune

Q:

I have a 2004 Toyota Highlander with 22,700 miles on it. I took it in for service and was told the water pump is cracked and I should think about replacing the timing belt as well.

The shop should be able to show you the water pump crack or the stains from leaking coolant. A cracked water pump definitely should be replaced to prevent significant loss of coolant and potential overheating while driving. As for the timing belt on the 3.3-liter V6 engine, Toyota recommends replacement at 90,000 miles or nine years.

While it’s convenient and a labor savings to replace this belt at the same time the water pump is replaced, it’s a bit premature at this point, particularly in light of the extremely low mileage.

A:

Q:

I own a 2003 Dodge Ram 1500 Hemi. After starting the truck when outside temperatures are 28 degrees or lower, it takes three to five minutes of idling before I can shift into gear.

No problems in warmer weather.

Have you had the transmission fluid and filters changed recently? Chrysler bulletin 21-015-05, dated September 2005, identified the possibility of

A:

Why does a car’s passenger-side mirror show objects to be farther away than they are, while the driver’s side has a “regular” mirror?

Good question. Your passenger-side mirror is a convex mirror, with an outward curve in the glass surface, which allows a greater field of vision. While seated behind the wheel, your eyes are about two feet from the left side mirror and six feet from the passenger side mirror. The longer distance between eyes and passengerside mirror would result in a narrow view down the right side of the car were it not for the mirror’s assistance.

The downside of a convex mirror is that objects appear smaller, or farther away than they actually are. On vehicles having sufficiently large mirrors, a small, stick-on convex auxiliary mirror is a nice addition to the driver’s side mirror.

“a suspect cooler return filter” allowing fluid to drain back from the torque converter overnight.

If you can’t move the shift lever, the BTSI system (brake transmission shifter interlock) may be at fault. If the interlock solenoid, in the steering column, is sticking or binding when cold, you won’t be able to move the shift lever out of park even with the brake pedal depressed.

If you can shift into gear but nothing happens, the problem is more likely low hydraulic pressure or sticking solenoids in the transmission. A can of SeaFoam Trans-Tune might help.

Q:

I am the original owner of a 1994 Lincoln Town Car with 81,000 miles on it. Recently, the “Brake” light came on and would not go off. I had the car towed to the dealer, but they called and said they don’t have the part to fix it, and it would cost $3,000 or more to repair if they could find the part. Is the ABS module a computer or mechanical part? Do you have any suggestions?

The electronic brake control module is electronic, but it commands the hydraulic control unit, which operates the antilock brake system (ABS) and the traction control system.

A:

You didn’t mention whether your vehicle is equipped with traction control. I’m also concerned by your description of the “Brake” warning light coming on. This red warning light monitors the hydraulic brake system including fluid level in the master cylinder, hydraulic pressure in both halves of the brake system and the application of the parking brake. The yellow ABS/TCS warning light, on the other hand, monitors the ABS and traction control systems.

So ... which warning light is on? If both or just the red “Brake” light stay on, the problem is more likely in the basic hydraulic brake system. If only the ABS/ TCS warning light is on, the problem is more likely with the antilock brake or traction control systems. A scan tool should be able to identify specific fault codes to pinpoint the problem.

Check online for remanufactured components and salvage yards for used parts.

than we intended to drive in the Mazda5. And we had that kind of fun in a little wagon with a standard 2.5-liter in-line four-cylinder engine (157 horsepower, 163 footpounds of torque).

In the end, we even fell in love with those tiny rear seats. They fold flat, headrests and all, and they do so quite easily. That creates a maximum of 44.4 cubic feet of cargo space — amazing for something so seemingly small on the outside, so easy to park in the city, so wonderfully maneuverable in urban traffic. We loaded it with the detritus of house remodeling, filled it with the recommended regular-grade gasoline (15.9-gallon capacity, 21 miles per gallon city, 28 mpg highway) and braved the interstate, confidently rolling in the high-speed left lane.

Q:

My battery is six years old. I know this is pretty old. Is there a way to test it (at home) to know if it’s still dependable?

You’re correct that this is a mature battery. How did the engine start this past winter? If all seemed well on the coldest mornings, this is encouraging. A professional might test your battery in one of two ways — either a traditional load test, or a more techie check of the battery’s cell conductance.

Let’s create a home version of the load test.

Using a simple voltmeter — the Sears Craftsman Digital Mini Multimeter, model 82345, is a superb value at $22 — check the battery’s open-circuit voltage, meaning nothing is turned on. A fully charged battery in

A:

good condition should read 12.6 volts or higher.

Next, if possible, determine a method of disabling the vehicle’s fuel system, such as by removing the fuel pump fuse or unplugging fuel injectors. Now crank the engine for fifteen seconds with meter leads clipped on to the battery terminals, observing battery voltage on the meter. If the voltage remains steady and above 11 volts, it’s still in competent condition.

Should the voltage fall below 10 volts or noticeably decline while cranking the starter, I’d start shopping for a battery now. If the readings fall somewhere between these two values, I’d consider renewing the battery in October or November, before the onset of cold weather.

A less invasive but less conclusive test method is to observe the battery’s open-circuit voltage, then turn on the headlights, with the car’s key turned to “off,” for fifteen minutes. If the battery voltage dips below 12.3 volts or if the engine is noticeably slow to crank afterward, the battery is in marginal to poor condition.

The easiest option may be to ask for a free battery test at an auto parts store. Ask for an interpretation of condition rather than a simple pass/fail pronouncement. On the three differing conductance testers I use in class, each will “fail” a battery that’s still 49 percent capable. With mild weather and a pair of jumper cables onboard, one could stretch such a battery for at least another two or three years.

spent the morning of a recent day off looking for his wallet. Which sounds a lot like something that would happen to Phil Dunphy, his alternately clueless and freakishly intuitive character on ABC’s Modern Family (Wednesdays, 9 p.m. ET/PT).

Kate Meyers caught up with the 43-year-old actor, wallet secured, in the loftlike L.A. condo he shares with his wife, Holly, and their yearold daughter, Frances, who was cooing in the background.

Working at a yogurt shop.

I felt like that Judge Reinhold character in Fast Times at Ridgemont High, when he wore that pirate costume and was just totally humiliated. I remember saying to myself, “I really, really need to sit down and think about my future. This is not going well.”

How did you meet your wife?

We were doing theater in Washington, D.C., and were understudies for the lovers in Twelfth Night. I had been courting her for a couple of months, though she didn’t know it because my flirting is so dull.

But on opening night we were dancing, and there was chemistry we couldn’t ignore.

‘Like Phil,

I’m klutzy.

I’ve never been to a party where I haven’t PARADE: What do you like about Phil Dunphy?

I think that Phil really believes in his family, even when they might not be living up to his expectations.

He’s not a guy who’s easily disappointed. And I love that he may be screwing up, but he’s really trying.

That’s something I aim to do myself.

You spent some of your our early years in Applegate, ate, Oregon. What was that at like?

Incredibly idyllic. My brother rother and sister and cousinss and I would go out every day ay to crawl around the mountains ntains and build forts. Sometimes times we took our inner tubes es and floated down the river until we got to the country store our family owned.

We would disappear in the morning and come back at dinner, which seems so quaint nowadays. My brother and I spent hours improvising and trying to crack each other up.

Is there something you consider classically Oregonian about you?

I ride my bike in the rain.

broken a glass.’

SUNDAY WITH...

Ty Burrell The Modern Family star on courtship, Cosby, and his love of Oregon

I have a deep and abiding love for all the Oregon teams [that’s the Ducks’ mascot, left].

Also, I generally dress like I’m a logger, even though I wouldn’t last a long morning logging.

When did you realize you wanted to be an actor?

I had dropped out of college for a couple of years and was sort of coasting. Soon after my dad passed away, I decided to see what I might actually be interested in, and I went back to the University of Oregon. I got into a grad-level acting class, and

the first day we had to come up with a Shakespeareantype character and improvise for three minutes. I pulled out a wooden box and stood on it to play a guy who thought he was really great, who was full of bravado but was a total idiot—which is a bit Phil-esque. I got a laugh, and it felt like I was in a love bath. I ran off and changed my major.

You had many jobs before you were able to make a living as an actor—forest firefighter, busboy, bartender, tour guide, telemarketer.… What was the weirdest?

What do you like to do on Sundays?

We put Frances in the stroller and take a half-hour walk to a kitchen store called Surfas.

We get lunch, and my wife, who’s a pastry chef, looks at the stuff—they have every pastry tool in the world there.

I walk around the preparedfoods section, and then we meet up at the register. It’s that Sunday thing where you’re just kind of luxuriating, and the most you’re thinking about is lunch and what you’ll create for dinner.

Do you have a favorite TV dad?

I’m a big Bill Cosby fan. He could dispense all of this wisdom without getting treacly. tre r I loved how smart that show was, sm that it was so th sophisticated and so didn’t pander. di You and your brother recently opened a bar in Salt Lake City.

If you were going to name a cocktail for Phil, what would you call it?

I would call it the Surface of the Moon, because I think that’s about how much noise is happening in Phil’s brain.

7-MINUTE SOLUTION

HOW TO WRITE A LETTER OF RECOMMENDATION Pamela Mitchell, author of The 10 Laws of Career Reinvention, on how to compose a letter that will land someone a job

TALK BEFORE YOU WRITE The biggest mistake people make is being too general. Instead of just listing the qualities you like about a person, first find out what he/she knows about the company being applied to, including its goals and environment.

Then tailor everything you write to show how this person meets the needs of the organization.

BE BRIEF Your letter should be no longer than a single typed page, divided into three succinct paragraphs. Your job is not to recap your friend’s résumé but to add insight. Use this as a guide: Paragraph #1 Describe how well you know the person, including the length and nature of your experience with him. For example, have you worked on a special project together?

Paragraph #2 List the qualities in your friend that you believe this organization will want.

Perhaps he’s a great motivator or excels at out-ofthe-box solutions. Use specific anecdotes to back up every statement.

Paragraph #3 Reaffirm why you are recommending this person. Close with a strong statement focused on how he is uniquely suited to this organization.

AND FINALLY...

Don’t forget to spell-check!

A: First, let me ask: Has your husband always been reluctant, or did he once enjoy going out with you? If he did, what changed? Many of us, for example, have minor hearing loss as we get older and find it hard to follow conversations at loud parties.

Have an honest talk with your husband without accusing him of purposely hurting you.

Chances are, this is about him, not you, and there may be a simple compromise: Maybe he wants the party to come to him occasionally— like having a few friends over for drinks and snacks—and other times, he’s happy for you to be on your own. And really, what’s wrong with that? Consider this: You might have a better time when you’re not worried about Sir Grumpalot.

When Michelle Obama and Jill Biden met, they felt “an instant connection,” Biden says. Adds Obama, “My husband’s decision to select Joe as his vice president was one of the best decisions he’s made.

And it gave me Jill, which was completely fortuitous.”

AMERICA’S FIRST MOMS For Michelle Obama and Jill Biden, family comes first. That’s why this month they’re uniting to launch a campaign to provide support on the home front for the spouses and kids of U.S. troops fighting overseas.

hey playfully tease and banter. they finish

each other’s sentences. And they laugh—a lot. The first thing you notice when you sit down with First Lady Michelle Obama and vice presidential spouse Jill Biden is how warm and relaxed their relationship is. They have a “great partnership,” Obama says. “We complement one another,” Biden adds. Out of this First Friendship comes the pair’s first-ever common initiative, Joining Forces. Its aim: to raise awareness about the challenges faced by military families and to encourage all Americans to help the spouses and children of our service members.

The women bring different backgrounds and experiences to their shared mission. A lawyer by training, then an executive by choice, Obama, 47, is the mother of Malia, 12, and Sasha, 9. Her closest family member to serve in the military was her father, who was in the Army before she was born. Biden, 59, the mother of three grown children and the grandmother of five, still works as a community-college professor while fulfilling her official duties as Visit us at PARADE.COM

the vice president’s wife. Her oldest son, Beau, now attorney general of Delaware, served in Iraq with the Delaware Army National Guard from October 2008 to September 2009.

On a brisk spring morning, the women met with PARADE in the East Wing’s Map Room to discuss the importance of America’s military families—and how their own families help keep them grounded.

PARADE: Why

this initiative?

When I started campaigning for my husband, I wanted to meet with groups of women to make sure their stories were a part of the conversation in his campaign and potentially in his administration. Everywhere I went there were military spouses, and their stories took my breath away—the pain of multiple deployments, trying to keep the family afloat. I remember sitting and crying with a group of them.

in January from their holiday in Hawaii; below, Jill Biden and her son Beau at his 2009 welcome-home ceremony from Iraq.

Had you ever thought of this before?

MO: This was not a part of my conversation, and it wasn’t a part of the broader conversation in this country.

PARADE: For people who are reading this today, what do you suggest they do? Put down the magazine and…?

MO: They can go to www.joining forces.gov and find out the options that are available. But one of the things we’re also asking people to do is to start in their universe. If you’re a parent, what can you do to find out how many, if any, military children are in your schools? In your churches, synagogues, congregations? Are there National Guard or Reserve personnel?

PARADE: And then what?

MO: And then do what you do best. If you’re an accountant, think about offering pro bono services. If you’re a teacher, maybe offer tutoring to military kids. We want to encourage people to be creative and not feel they have to develop a whole other expertise.

JB: After I got off the 2008 presidential campaign, where I’d also met so many military families, I called the National Guard and said, “Where can I go? What can I do?” They referred me to Delaware Boots on the Ground [a nonprofit aiding local military families]. We bonded instantly, and we started a fund-raising campaign.

PARADE: So Joining Forces is about Americans doing what they’d do to help any family…

JB: Any family in need. But it’s not like they’re saying, “Oh, I need this, I need that.” We just want to support them because of all that they have given.

MO: To make them feel connected.

JB: And valued.

To make them feel visible. Studies show that many military families feel like the country doesn’t recognize or appreciate [them]. And it breaks my heart, because they’re serving as passionately and deeply and proudly as the men and women in uniform. We always acknowledge service members because they’re in uniform and we can see them. But if you’re…

JB: …National Guard…

MO: …or if you’re a kid…

PARADE: …or a spouse…

MO: …no one knows you’re out there. No one knows your struggles.

PARADE: In a recent poll, Democrats and Republicans said they favor bringing the troops home. And some say that it’s the best thing we could do for them and their loved ones.

JB: You don’t have to support the war to support the troops and their families.

MO:

SERVING OUR SOLDIERS Here are three of Mrs. Obama’s and Dr. Biden’s favorite groups that are helping America’s military families.

OPERATION SHOWER operationshower.org Expecting a child can be incredibly lonely for women whose spouses are serving overseas. This organization throws baby showers for military moms-to-be. In its fouryear existence, the group has hosted events for more than 400 women.

when the troops do come home— because that is everyone’s intent, to bring them home at some point—the effort still has to exist. Because the challenges for many of these families begin when [the service members] come back.

PARADE: Does this campaign have an end?

MO: Our hope is that this becomes part of the fabric of our country forever.

JB: A way of life, really.

MO: We will always have a strong military, and as long as we do, we will always have military families who need our support. We’re trying to set this up so it lasts beyond Jill and me when we leave here, whatever time frame that may be.

PARADE: Mrs. Obama, considering your work on Joining Forces, can we reassure our magazine’s readers that you’re going to continue your “Let’s Move” initiative?

MO: I have been multitasking my entire life. Malia and Sasha will eat, and Bo will get walked… [laughs] There are a number of issues that Jill and I care deeply about. Jill is also focused on education and support for community colleges— PARADE: You’re still teaching, Dr. Biden, correct?

JB: I am. Full time.

PARADE: Do your students seem to know about your other job?

JB: Most of them. I can’t say all of them are aware, which is exactly how I like it. [laughs] PARADE: As you know, this interview will appear in PARADE on Easter Sunday. Has there been a time recently when you called on your faith to get you through something?

MO: That’s a daily proposition. Because this is a complicated job and it shows you all the highs and lows of life and issues in our country and the world, and so much of it is things you can’t explain. A tsunami, an earthquake, what happened in Tucson—one day you’re living

your life, and the next, everything is changed. And sometimes you get to the point where you say, “There are so many things in life that men and women cannot control, and that’s part of living.”

PARADE: How do you deal with it? Pray? Ask questions?

MO: It’s a little bit of everything. But it’s still a personal thing. It’s one of those things you’re asked about and you always want to give enough of yourself, but you want to leave something that is really just yours. My practice of my faith—it ’s a very personal thing to me.

JB: One of the most difficult times we had as a family was when Beau was deployed to Iraq. At his deployment ceremony, the general’s wife handed me a prayer on a card, and I said it every day. I’d be in the classroom writing on the board, and the thought would go through my mind: “I hope he’s safe. I hope he’s safe.” And I would just say a prayer. Prayer played a large part in my life—it still does—until he got home and I felt like… [exhales] MO: …you could breathe.

JB: Yes, I felt like I could breathe again. When I go to deployment ceremonies, I look out [at] the families and see what I felt when my son was deployed. I know they’re so proud, but they’re so scared, too.

PARADE: Many Americans are excited about the president’s announcement that he’s running for reelection. So, we’re wondering: What is the girls’ bargaining chip this time?

Who can forget the meal you cooked for your first anniversary? (Cornish game hens, on the one and only occasion I’ve used my wedding china.) Or the food that your picky toddler would always eat, no matter what? (Salad. Go figure.) I know that when my children grow up, certain dishes are going to take them right back to our dinner table.

Our weekends are hectic.

There’s the play rehearsal, the skating lesson, my son’s a cappella group. We all look forward to a good soup on Sunday night. It’s a time to sit down and relax (and figure out who still has homework to do). We dip bread in our soup and talk about what we’ve done over the past few days and what we’ll be doing the following week. I hope my kids will think of these Sundays someday when they see broccoli-cheddar soup on a menu.

P “This soup heats

up again nicely for a next-day meal. Just add a little chicken broth to reach the desired consistency.”

P “To make a

lighter version of this recipe, use other vegetables— and leave out the cheese.”

fge

Broccoli-Cheddar Soup 3 cups chicken broth 1 onion, chopped 4 cups broccoli, chopped Dash of garlic powder 1 tsp thyme 2 bay leaves 4 Tbsp butter 4 Tbsp flour ½ tsp salt 2 cups milk 2 cups shredded cheddar Slices of crusty bread

1. In a large saucepan, mix chicken broth, onion, broccoli, garlic powder, thyme, and bay leaves. Bring to a boil. Reduce heat, cover, and simmer 10 minutes, or until vegetables are soft.

2. Remove bay leaves and pour mixture into a food processor.

Pulse until smooth, approximately 1 minute. Reserve in a bowl.

3. In the original saucepan, melt butter. Whisk in flour, salt, and a little pepper until a thick paste forms. Add milk and cook, stirring constantly, until mixture thickens. Add cheddar; stir until it dissolves.

4. Pour in broccoli mixture and cook until blended. If necessary, add more chicken broth to thin. Season with additional salt and pepper. Serve with bread for dipping.

Safe, comfortable bathing

Five major considerations to help make an informed decision before buying a Walk-In Tub: ➻ Quality - A walk-in tub is a major investment. You want to find a quality tub that will last for decades. Look for one that’s 100% leakproof and mold-resistant, full metal frame construction and one that’s American made.

Enjoy A Bath Again…

Safely and Affordably The Designed for Seniors® Safe Step® Walk-In tub is luxurious, feature-packed and affordable or millions of aging Americans, the simple pleasure of a comfortable, luxurious bath has become a thing of the past. Fear of falling is the number one reason that people leave the home they love and move to a relative’s home or some kind of assisted living facility. The number one place in the home where falls are likely to occur is the bathroom.

Now, there is a better solution for this widespread problem… the revolutionary Walk-In Tub from Safe Step.

F

Easy, Safe Access to your Bathtub. The Safe Step Tub has a leakproof, walk-in door and features a new lower step height

that’s only 4 inches high— so you can get in and out easily.

Simply open the easy-to-turn door latch, walk in and close the door. It’s that safe and easy. Our design engineers have thought of everything. From the 17-inch high seat (no struggling to get up or down), to both water and air-jet therapy, to built-in heating. It will give you the freedom and independence to bathe in safety, comfort and convenience.

➻ Warranty - Ask for a lifetime “no leak guarantee” and the best tubs offer a lifetime warranty on the tub itself. ➻ Pain Relieving Therapy - Find a tub that has both water and air jet therapy to soak away your aches and pains.

Look for Dual-Zone jets. ➻ Comfort - Ergonomic design, easy-to-reach controls. ➻ Endorsements - Only consider

tubs that are UL or ETL listed. Also look for a tub certified by NAHB (National Association of Home Builders) Research Center.

Your granddaughter and my daughter are the same age [at the same school]. Sometimes at basketball games we have to tell Joe and Barack to stop screaming. It’s like, “You’re the president and the vice president, and there are little kids on the other team. You can’t go, ‘Yeah!’ ” [laughs] PARADE: Does spending time with your kids and turning off the official side help put things into perspective for you?

MO: Well, when it’s time for the parent-teacher conference, that’s booked on the [presidential] schedule. We’re going to it, because that’s part of life, you know? And that’s good. Those are the kinds of things that keep you sane. In so many ways, children, grandchildren, and family keep you grounded.

PARADE: Which brings us back to families and Joining Forces.

How will you be able to tell that this effort has succeeded?

MO: When it’s part of the national conversation. If we’re at that point in a year, I would be very pleased. Ultimately, we want the families to feel it, but one measure is: Have we changed the dialogue in any way?

JB: Or if more people come to us, as they do now, and ask, “What can I do to help?”
