OSU-CASCADES CAMPUS: 10TH ANNIVERSARY Friday: History of the branch Seeing a need, local leaders pushed to expand higher education in Central Oregon — but it wouldn’t be easy.

Saturday: Future of the branch As the campus enters its next decade, questions over what it could and should look like continue to pop up.

Too big to fail?

New plea: ‘too small to matter’

By Eric Dash and Julie Creswell New York Times News Service

It is not very often that business people head to Washington to explain how unimportant they are. But over the last several months, executives from more than two dozen financial companies and their trade groups have visited the Treasury Department, the Federal Reserve and other government agencies to try to convince top regulators they are not large or risky enough to threaten the financial system should they ever collapse.

Big insurers like the Mass Mutual Financial Group and Zurich Financial Services; hedge funds like Citadel and Paulson & Co.; and mutualfund companies like BlackRock, Fidelity Investments and Pacific Investment Management Co. have all been making the rounds, according to documents filed by the regulatory agencies.

What they are all hoping to avoid is being designated “systemically important” by a council of financial regulators. That would require them to face stricter federal oversight and keep more cash on hand, which they fear would erode profits.

Deciding which firms should be designated is at the heart of a package of new financial rules that aim to prevent a repeat of the financial crisis.

Vol. 108, No. 163, 50 pages, 7 sections

WASHINGTON — Last week, U.S. Reps. Greg Walden, R-Hood River, and Kurt Schrader, D-Canby, along with 57 other members of Congress, sent a letter to Agriculture Secretary Tom Vilsack, objecting to his department’s proposed national forest planning rule.

By broadening the agency’s requirement to manage habitats in an animal-fr iendly way to include plants, fungi and insects, the new rule invites extensive litigation that would divert financial resources away from tending the nation’s forests, the bipartisan group of representatives wrote.

“The proposed rule moves the agency further away from a simple, concise rule that can be understood by both agency personnel and the public and implemented with a minimum amount of contention among stakeholder groups. By adding more process requirements and introducing new technical terms, you are increasing the likelihood that like previous attempts at reform, the proposed rule will be tied up in courts for years,” the letter reads.

When the U.S. Forest Service, which is managed under the Department of Agriculture, announced the new rule in February, it touted the plan as a better and more efficient way to manage America’s forests and said it increased protections on water resources and watersheds.

But responsible stewardship of natural resources is not the issue, said Walden spokesman Andrew Whelan. “It’s a broad expansion of this viability standard that is of concern to a lot of industries that provide jobs,” such as grazing and timber considerations that are vital to Central Oregon. “Paralysis by analysis is a big concern.”

Bob Maxwell walks into the Bend High graduation ceremony with Emily Carrick and Jacob Waggoner, two in a class of 308 graduates, at the Deschutes County Fair & Expo Center in Redmond on Saturday. “(We) honor him, but we’re also honoring 308 students,” the principal said earlier. “He’s one of our 308.”

ob Maxwell left school after the seventh grade to work on his family’s farm.

But he never strayed far from the classroom, and on Saturday, he received a Bend High School diploma honoring his years of service as an educator and as Oregon’s only living Medal of Honor recipient.

“It honors him, and it honors our school and our kids,” Principal H.D. Weddel said. “We can honor a man who’s sacrificed for our country and have him be a part of Class of 2011, which is a great class. And it would uplift all of those kinds of things: honor and pride and character and loyalty and all the kinds of good things that we want to stand for.”

Maxwell, 91, was born in Boise, Idaho, and raised in Kansas by his grandparents. He recently took a look at his old handwritten report cards, which indicate he finished seventh grade at Quinter Consolidated Grade School in Quinter, Kan., in 1935 with high marks in nearly every subject.

After that, he didn’t return.

“It was customary that when you get to be able to do a man’s work, you go to work on the farm,” he said. “It was time to go to work.”

“He’s one of those humble people who never ask for anything. ... Getting him to walk across this stage is something else to check off that bucket list.”

‘Duh’ science: why taxpayer money is spent proving the obvious

Proposal meant to better manage habitat health could lead to ‘paralysis by analysis,’ his office warns

By Andrew Clevenger

By Patrick Cliff and Sheila G. Miller Over the past 10 years, Oregon State University-Cascades Campus has seen its ups and downs.

The Bend branch twice averted elimination when the Legislature parceled out massive budget cuts, in 2002 and in 2009. Although enrollment has exceeded the state’s projections, it hasn’t been as robust as local leaders who pushed for the campus believed it would be. And though OSU-Cascades recently launched a variety of programs and is exploring more, initial plans for bachelor’s degrees in everything from museum studies to industrial engineering never materialized. Nor have master’s programs in nutrition, food management or nursing.

Despite its slower-than-expected growth and occasionally precarious existence, however, the branch campus has changed the community.

OSU-Cascades allowed Erin Zurflu, a 30-yearold Bend native, to study in the place she loved.

Zurflu earned her bachelor’s degree in 2006.

“It was in Bend,” she said. “My family and all my friends are here. It was cheaper to stay here, and I just love it here.”

Forest change worries Walden

Medical researchers have unlocked the human genome, wiped out smallpox and made great strides in the fight against AIDS. They have also published studies revealing that: • Alcohol increases reaction time and errors during decision-making.

• People who live in safe, well-lit neighborhoods are more likely to walk and get exercise.

• College drinking is just as bad as researchers thought, but not worse

Well, duh, you might think — and you wouldn’t be the first. The practice of hypothesizing, testing and publishing the seemingly obvious is widespread. There are studies showing that driving ability worsens in people with early Alzheimer’s disease, that young men who are obese have lower odds of getting married, that making exercise more fun might improve fitness among teens.

Major breach at IMF

By Jeffrey Gettleman

New York Times News Service

New York Times News Service

Kohi Sasahara / The Associated Press

3 MONTHS AFTER QUAKE, JAPANESE CHALLENGE NUCLEAR POWER TOKYO — Protesters held mass demonstrations against nuclear power across Japan on Saturday, the three-month anniversary of the powerful earthquake and tsunami that killed over 23,000 and triggered one of the world’s worst nuclear disasters.

Streets in parts of Tokyo were completely jammed with thousands of chanting protesters, paralyzing sections of the city.

The magnitude-9 earthquake that hit March 11 off Japan’s northeast coast caused a massive tsunami that knocked out power and cooling systems at the Fukushima Dai-ichi nuclear power plant, about 140 miles northeast of here, setting off large

radiation leaks at the facility.

The latest government reports released said the damage and leaks were worse than previously thought.

The disasters have renewed a national debate on nuclear power in Japan, which has few natural resources. Japan relied on it for 30 percent of its electricity before the disasters and planned to raise that to 50 percent by 2030, but the government has announced it will abandon that target and promote renewable energy instead.

“Since the earthquake, I’ve realized that nuclear power is just too dangerous for use,” said Takeshi Terada, 32, a shipping worker who marched with 10 friends in Tokyo.

WASHINGTON — The International Monetary Fund, still struggling to find a new leader after the arrest of its managing director last month in New York, was hit recently by what computer experts describe as a large and sophisticated cyberattack whose dimensions are still unknown.

The fund, which manages financial crises around the world and is the repository of highly confidential information about the fiscal condition of many nations, told its staff and its board of directors about the attack on Wednesday. But it did not make a public announcement.

Several senior officials with knowledge of the attack said it was both sophisticated and serious. “This was a very major breach,” said one official, who said it had occurred over the past several months, even before Dominique Strauss-Kahn, the French politician who ran the fund, was arrested.

Because the fund has been at the center of economic bailout programs for Portugal, Greece and Ireland — and possesses sensitive data on other countries that may be on the brink of crisis — its database contains potentially market-moving information. It also includes communications with national leaders as they negotiate, often behind the scenes, on the terms of international bailouts. Those agreements are, in the words of one fund official, “political dynamite in many countries.”

It was unclear what information the attackers were able to access.

IMF officials declined to say where they think the attack originated — a delicate subject because most nations are IMF members.

Weiner to leave House, temporarily, for therapy Bulletin wire reports Embattled Rep. Anthony Weiner, D-N.Y., said Saturday he is taking a short leave of absence and seeking professional treatment, as a host of frustrated Democratic leaders called for him to resign, saying the “sordid affair” has become a distraction for the party.

It was unknown how long he would take off, but it was clear the

temporary break was not enough to satisfy top Democrats.

“The behavior he has exhibited is indefensible, and Representative Weiner’s continued service in Congress is untenable,” the Democratic National Committee chairwoman, Rep. Debbie Wasserman Schultz, said Saturday. House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi also issued a stern statement calling

for his immediate resignation.

The mounting calls for Weiner’s resignation came as police in New Castle County, Del., opened an investigation Friday into Weiner’s electronic communication with a 17-year-old high school student.

Weiner, questioned Saturday by a throng of reporters who were following him as he ran errands, said he did nothing wrong.

No ‘gotcha’ moments in Palin e-mails

By Becky Bohrer The Associated Press

JUNEAU, Alaska — There are no real bombshells. The e-mails of Sarah Palin — more than 24,000 pages of them released Friday by the state from her first two years as governor — paint a picture of an image-conscious, driven leader, closely involved with the dayto-day duties of running the state and riding herd on the signature issues of her administration.

They show she angled for the vice presidential nomination months before John McCain picked her — and even hinted at presidential aspirations. The records, comprising more than 13,400 e-mails, seem to depict a “moderate” Palin who worked to find a state response to global warming — she has since dismissed studies supporting climate change — and gave props to then-Sen. Barack Obama for his support of a natural gas pipeline in Alaska.

But while they shed a little light on Palin’s rise from little-known governor to national political sensation, they reveal little else. The e-mails end in September 2008, shortly after her selection to by McCain. In Anchorage, people watched the release of the e-mails with interest, some blaming the media for paying too much attention to the outdated records.

Pressure mounts Aging is new concern 30 years after first AIDS cases for new strategy in Afghanistan The Associated Press

By Karen DeYoung and Scott Wilson The Washington Post

Democratic leaders on Capitol Hill are applying fresh pressure on the Obama administration to draw down U.S. troops in Afghanistan faster than many military leaders say is responsible, forcing the president to balance his party’s demands with his generals’ on-the-ground assessment as he nears another milestone in the war.

When he announced his war strategy 18 months ago, President Barack Obama set July as the point when he would begin bringing home the approximately 100,000 U.S. service members in Afghanistan. Administration officials have portrayed the reduction as just another planned step in the president’s strategy.

But Sen. John Kerry, chairman of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, is among a growing number of congressional leaders urging Obama to take full advantage of progress achieved over the past 18 months by narrowing the mission’s focus.

These lawmakers argue that, at a time of fiscal stress at home, the administration should concentrate on targeting al-Qaida and protecting other U.S. security interests in the region, rather than on maintaining the broad military deployments across much of southern and eastern Afghanistan and the costly nation-building elements of the counterinsurgency strategy.

This political push could force the White House to revisit a contentious internal debate that unfolded in fall 2009, when Obama’s civilian advisers challenged the uniformed military over how best to change the

Duh Continued from A1 Experts say they have to prove the seemingly proven — and prove it again and again — to influence perceptions and policy.

“Think about the number of studies that had to be published for people to realize smoking is bad for you,” said Ronald Iannotti, a psychologist at the National Institutes of Health. “There are some subjects where it seems you can never publish enough.”

Indeed, people are still arguing about cigarettes almost 50 years after the U.S. surgeon general first linked their use to cancer and lung disease. In a recent issue of the Canadian Medical Association Journal, a detailed analysis painstakingly laid out a notion that most take for granted: that secondhand smoke in cars is bad for children. Duh. Or consider the case of Harvard sleep expert Dr. Charles Czeisler, who has spent about $3 million over the years demonstrating over and over that doctors who don’t get enough sleep make mistakes on the job.

This seems painfully clear. But getting the medical establishment to start believing it — much less change the rules governing doctors’ working hours — has taken Czeisler the better part of three decades. Long shifts for interns and residents are a staple of hospital culture.

When Czeisler presented evidence that workers on rotating shifts at a chemical plant suffered on disrupted sleep, the medical establishment said that doctors were different. When he published results showing that physicians’ 24-hour-plus shifts contributed to car accidents and attention lapses at work, some acknowledged it might be true — but not for them.

Everyone had an anecdote.

Czeisler had data. “It was dismissed out of hand,” he said.

“They use the same argument over and over, even when we’ve tested it. It drives me up the wall.”

In 2008, the Institute of Medicine issued guidelines calling for limiting interns’ and residents’ shifts to 16 consecutive hours.

Last year, authorities did cut back to 16 hours — but only for interns.

Why? In part because that’s who Czeisler had studied.

“I was astonished,” said Czeisler, who is now researching whether residents’ performance also is affected by lack of sleep.

“I can’t believe we have to do this extra study.”

There’s another reason studies tend to confirm notions that are already widely held, said Daniele Fanelli, an expert on bias at

But fresh support builds for war, too

SAN FRANCISCO — Having survived the first and worst years of the AIDS epidemic, when he was losing three friends to the disease in a day and undergoing every primitive, toxic treatment that then existed, Peter Greene is grateful to be alive.

But a quarter-century after his own diagnosis, Greene wrestles

The number of Americans who say the war in Afghanistan is worth fighting has increased for the first time since President Barack Obama announced at the end of 2009 that he would boost troop levels, according to a recent Washington Post-ABC News poll, where 43 percent say the war is worth fighting, compared with 31 percent in March. A significant amount of the fresh support came from independent voters. But a majority of Americans still say the war, which is in its 10th year, is not worth it. course of a flagging war effort.

But Obama is now making his decision amid a difficult re-election effort and when the killing of Osama bin Laden has made some lawmakers argue that the time is ripe to dramatically scale back the U.S. war effort.

Obama is awaiting a set of recommendations from his military commanders on how many troops to bring home in July and the pace of withdrawal over the months ahead. Defense Secretary Robert Gates, who on Friday concluded an 11-day trip that took him to Afghanistan, could deliver Gen. David Petraeus’ proposed options to Obama within the week.

“He knows this is the longest war we’ve been in and there’s war weariness in the country,” a senior administration official said. “… He understands. And he wants the strategy he put in place to succeed.”

the University of Edinburgh in Scotland. Instead of trying to find something new, “people want to draw attention to problems,” especially when policy decisions hang in the balance, he said.

Kyle Stanford, a professor of the philosophy of science at the University of California, Irvine, thinks the professionalization of science has led researchers — who must win grants to pay their bills — to ask timid questions. Research that hews to established theories is more likely to be funded, even if it contributes little to knowledge.

Marc Abrahams, creator of the Ig Nobel Prizes (which honor improbable research, including a study that found nose-picking was common among teens), adds that scientists get promotions only if they crank out a lot of research papers — publish or perish, as the saying goes.

The sheer number of studies that get published suggests that Abrahams might be on to something. A recent paper in the journal PLoS Medicine reported that medical journals publish the results of 75 clinical trials and 11 systematic reviews of trials every day. There is “an over-

Even when AIDS still was al-

most always fatal, researchers predicted that people infected with HIV would be more prone to the cancers, neurological disorders and heart conditions that typically afflict the elderly. Thirty years after the first diagnoses, doctors are seeing these and other unanticipated signs of premature or “accelerated” aging in some long-term survivors.

Government-funded scientists are working to tease apart whether the memory loss, arthritis, renal failure and high blood pressure showing up in patients in their 40s and 50s are consequences of HIV, the drugs used to treat it or a cruel combination of both. People over 50 are expected to make up a majority of U.S. residents infected with the virus by 2015.

AS FIRE RAGES IN ARIZONA, AUTHORITIES SEEK ITS CAUSE

Rob Schumacher / The Associated Press

Smoke clouds the sky outside of Eagar, Ariz. The eye-stinging, throat-burning haze spewing from a gigantic wildfire in eastern Arizona is beginning to stretch as far east as central New Mexico, prompting health officials to warn residents as far away as Albuquerque about potential respiratory hazards.

The 672-square-mile blaze was no longer just an Arizona problem on Saturday as firefighters moved to counter spot fires sprouting up across the state line and lighting their own fires to beat it back. The forest fire remained largely uncontained and officials worried that the return of gusty southwesterly winds during the afternoon could once again threaten small mountain communities that had been largely saved just a few days ago.

There is no yellow police tape ringing the huge Wallow Fire, but the torched forest is a crime scene nonetheless. Deep within the burn zone, while trying to extinguish the fire, firefighters have taken

load of unfiltered information,” the authors wrote. It can’t all be groundbreaking.

But, sometimes, a study that seems poised to affirm the conventional wisdom produces a surprise. Many have taken the value of popular programs like D.A.R.E. — in which police warn kids about the dangers of drug use — as an article of faith. But Dennis Rosenbaum of the University of Illinois at Chicago and other researchers have shown that the program has been ineffective and may even increase drug use in some cases.

Iannotti recently revealed in the Journal of Adolescent Health that victims of cyberbullying are more depressed than the bullies who torment them.

He says the research, which cost about $6,400, was “kind of a duh, but not exactly,” because it was one of the first studies characterizing cyberbullying — and because studies on traditional bullying had shown bullies to be depressed, too.

That might come as a surprise to many people. But even if initial findings seem self-evident, Iannotti said, “you still need to establish the facts. That’s how science

moves forward — incrementally.”

Still, some wonder whether incremental is just a stand-in for inconsequential. At what point is it absurd to spend months determining that “pilots who drink and drive are at higher risk to crash planes,” as a study in the journal Accident Analysis & Prevention reported in 2005?

Deficit hawks worry that the government spends too much on seemingly pointless research.

One of them is Steve Ellis, vice president of Taxpayers for Common Sense, a nonpartisan watchdog group that hands out the Golden Fleece Awards. The awards have exposed such follies of public expenditure as $219,592 to develop a curriculum to teach college students how to watch television and $6,000 to help explain how to buy a bottle of Worcestershire sauce.

Ellis said that funding basic research remains a critical area for the government. “But not every study is equally worthwhile,” he said. “If the public sees things that appear to be ridiculous, it’s going to be harder and harder to get dollars for critical research.”

“We try to protect the point of origin,” said Joe Reinarz, a Forest Service veteran who has been leading the fight against the fire.

“We put some water over it, but we try not to move anything or walk on it. It’s just like a crime scene.”

Wildfire arson investigators have begun visiting the rugged area where the fire was first spotted, searching for clues, officials said.

“I want to know who, what, where, when and why — mostly the why,” said Mike Nuttall, the police chief of Springerville, one of several towns that have been evacuated. “One or two people can destroy a wide area and affect a lot of people.”

The Associated Press PESHAWAR, Pakistan — Two explosions went off minutes apart in the northwest Pakistani city of Peshawar today, killing 34 people and injuring nearly 100 in one of the deadliest attacks since the U.S. raid that killed Osama bin Laden last month.

The attack took place as CIA Director Leon Panetta and Afghan President Hamid Karzai visited Islamabad, 95 miles to the east, to speak separately with senior Pakistani officials about intelligence sharing and efforts to reconcile with the Taliban.

Meanwhile, according to a re-

port released Saturday, May was the deadliest month for Afghan civilians since the United Nations started tracking deaths in 2007.

The carnage continued, with bombs killing 21 people nationwide. The U.N. said insurgents were responsible for 82 percent of the 368 deaths last month.

returned to Central Oregon in 1996 and shortly thereafter connected with Dick Tobiason, who champions local veterans and their issues.

The pair became friends.

“He’s one of those humble people who never ask for anything,” Tobiason said.

Seeing that, Tobiason made a list of things he wanted to make sure Maxwell had. He helped pass legislation to secure a special license plate for Maxwell, and the pair have worked together on other issues. But he’d never walked across a stage at graduation, and Tobiason wanted to make that dream come true for his friend.

Courtesy Dick Tobiason

In 1958, Bob Maxwell, even without that degree, took over as an auto mechanics instructor at Bend High, then took his talents to Central Oregon College, where he was an instructor for nine years.

Maxwell Continued from A1 Maxwell and his family grew wheat and other crops on their self-sustaining family farm. That is, until the Dust Bowl, a series of severe dust storms in the 1930s.

The family farm effectively blew away, forcing the Maxwells and thousands of others like them in search of something new.

Maxwell and his family were taken by the idea of the Northwest, in part because of his seventh-grade geography studies of the Willamette Valley and Washington state’s Puget Sound.

“It sounded like a paradise compared to what we lived in,” he said.

So when the bank foreclosed on the farm, the family headed for Oregon, but stopped in Colorado when Maxwell’s grandfather fell ill. Maxwell lived there until 1942, when he was drafted into World War II. Raised a Quaker, he probably could have received a religious exemption from the service, but it didn’t seem like the right thing to do. “I decided the best thing was just to do what they wanted me to do and go where they wanted me to go,” he said.

Inspired by a mail plane that flew over his home every day, Maxwell initially hoped to be an aviator. But he figured without a high school education that wouldn’t be possible. He ended up in the infantry, starting out at Camp Roberts and Fort Meade, then traveling by ship to the Mediterranean, where

he was stationed for a time.

By 1944, he was fighting in France. There he and three other soldiers faced a nighttime firefight with German soldiers while defending an outpost. When one enemy threw a hand grenade into his group, Maxwell used his body to shield the explosion from his fellow soldiers, saving them.

He was awarded the Purple Heart and the Medal of Honor for his actions, and after convalescing he returned home to his family, who by then had moved to Creswell, south of Eugene.

Back home “As soon as I got home, I realized I didn’t want to be a farmer,” he said.

Farm work was too painful for his right foot, badly injured in the explosion, and Maxwell had done some mechanic training both during the war and while recovering in the hospital.

Using GI Bill funds, Maxwell returned to the classroom, training for two years at Eugene Vocational School. While there, he expressed an interest in teaching but was told to get some experience. He moved to Central Oregon where he worked as an auto mechanic.

Then the classroom called again.

In 1958, he taught a semester in the machine shop at Bend High before moving the auto mechanics program to what was then Central Oregon College. He earned his GED and then stayed on for nine years as a teacher before returning to Eugene to teach there.

Maxwell and his wife, Beatrice,

Class of 2011 When Tobiason discovered a plaque bearing the names of Bend High graduates who died in World War II hanging in Bend-La Pine Schools’ administration building, he contacted the high school principal to see about moving it somewhere more prominent.

That conversation and subsequent others with counselor Gary Whitley sparked the graduation discussion. School officials agreed Maxwell should be a part of the graduation and get a diploma.

“And now it’s becoming a reality,” Tobiason said. “It’s been a labor of love, and getting him to walk across this stage is something else to check off that bucket list.”

The graduating class met Maxwell this past week.

“Our kids are very receptive to it,” Weddel said. “(We) honor him, but we’re also honoring 308 students. He’s one of our 308. That’s important, too.”

Even though Maxwell left school back in 1935, his family read the Bible and newspapers and stayed up on current events as much as possible. But he would have liked to continue his education the traditional way.

“I missed it, but you’re so busy with farm work that you don’t pay attention to what you missed,” he said.

Now, he’s thrilled to get a chance to cross a stage he never crossed in Kansas.

“In some ways it feels like you’re taking something that doesn’t belong to you,” Maxwell said. “It’s an experience of a lifetime to do something like this at this late date.”

Cascades Continued from A1 Zurflu got her transfer degree from Central Oregon Community College, took a year off to travel in South America, and came back to pursue a nursing degree. “Then I decided I wanted to be a doctor, and, luckily, by then they’d instituted OSU-Cascades,” she said. She was able to earn her bachelor’s degree in general science and is now in her fourth year at Georgetown University School of Medicine in Washington, D.C. “It’s definitely a great opportunity for the community to be better educated. There are great programs available to the whole community,” Zurflu said. “And it’s definitely drawn a lot of welleducated people to the area to be professors.”

Many of Zurflu’s Ivy Leagueeducated classmates describe classes containing hundreds of students. Zurflu, on the other hand, says she was able to get to know and spend time one-onone with her professors.

That’s the kind of story that Jerry Colonna hoped he’d hear when he sat on the Central Oregon Regional Advisory Board, which helped establish OSU’s presence in Bend.

“I think it brings some economic vitality to the community in terms of having skilled people to select from right in the community and not having some of the best and brightest have to leave … to access the kind of education they need,” Colonna said. “… Everything that goes along with brightening the future of adults and high school graduates, the opportunities for segments of the population to reach a greater potential because of its presence, I think, speaks really well of any community.”

Amy Tykeson, who with her father owns BendBroadband, said the campus will help tech companies grow. The Tykeson Family Charitable Trust recently gave $250,000 to the campus to endow a chair in the energy engineering program, a move designed to help OSU-Cascades and the region grow into an alternative energy hub.

lutely essential to provide the educated workforce necessary to attract and retain companies,” she wrote in an e-mail.

While economic development can happen in a region without a university, says Mark Kralj, a trustee of the Oregon State University Foundation, it’s more of a challenge to sustain.

Silicon Valley, without its nearby universities, probably would not have thrived as a technology hub. If Central Oregon wants to thrive and support more than a handful of companies, it needs a university presence, Kralj said.

Kralj is particularly impressed by the new energy engineering program, but he said the campus’ growth in offering graduate degrees will also be key to regional economic growth.

“It’s a one off if you don’t have a university attached. The odds of (growth) occurring are much greater in a community with four-year and graduate programs.”

Not only does higher education spur economic development, but educational institutions are culturally critical in communities, according to COCC President Jim Middleton.

Both universities and community colleges can provide stable

employment in an area, Middleton said. They provide educated employees for local companies, and they also attract employers who want a four-year college for their employees’ families.

If COCC and OSU-Cascades continue their growth, new companies will only feel more comfortable picking Central Oregon as a home, Middleton said. “(Colleges and universities) become major employment and cultural centers within the community itself,” he said.

Becky Johnson, vice president of OSU-Cascades, hopes to convert the campus into a four-year university sometime around 2020. Scott Cooper, a committee member on the Higher Education Assessment Team and former Crook County judge, believes that if no four-year school develops, the region will suffer for it.

Much of his focus on the Higher Education Assessment Team, which made the recommendation last year to explore converting to a four-year university, was making certain that a four-year university would reach into the rural parts of Central Oregon.

“There’s no question the presence of higher education is tied to future economic development.

The absence of higher education is tied to economic decline,” Cooper said.

IMMIGRATION ENFORCEMENT

Hispanic prison population swells, overwhelming the justice system

By Garance Burke and Amanda Lee Myers The Associated Press

TUCSON, Ariz. — They shuffle into the courtroom in shackles, still wearing the dust-covered clothes and shoes from when they crossed the desert into the U.S. from Mexico.

The 70 illegal immigrants, mostly men and mostly in their 20s and 30s, fill the 16-seat jury box and seven rows of wooden benches normally reserved for the public in Tucson’s gleaming federal courthouse.

In only an hour or so, the dozens of immigrants will agree to plead guilty and be sentenced in a process that could play out for months for most federal defendants.

The scene offers a window into a federal immigration enforcement effort that is pushing the limits of the U.S. justice system, overwhelming federal judges and escalating the ranks of Latinos sent to prison.

Expedited court hearings along the border are a major force driving a seismic demographic shift in who is being sent to federal prison. New statistics reveal that Hispanics now make up nearly half of all people sentenced for federal felony crimes, a number swollen by immigration offenses. In comparison, Hispanics made up 16 percent of the total U.S. population last year.

Sentences for felony immigration crimes, which include illegal crossing and crimes such as migrant smuggling, accounted for about 87 percent of the increase in the number of Hispanics sent to prison over the past decade, according to an analysis of U.S. Sentencing Commission data.

The trend has divided lawmakers and officials in the courts and along the border. Some politicians believe the en masse hearings should be expanded to deter illegal immigration. Others question whether the system actually affects people seeking to cross the border, while still others contend the programs distract prosecutors from pursuing more serious crimes.

“There is a use of criminal justice resources that doesn’t make sense. … Are we just running numbers so it appears we’re doing more on immigration and drug offenses, or are we doing anything worthwhile?” said Chicago federal Judge Ruben Castillo, who retired in December from serving on the U.S. Sentencing Commission for 11 years. “My question would be, are we spending the money the right way? And there I would have a lot of concerns.”

This immigration detention center in Texas, about an hour north of the Mexico border, was expanded by the federal government years ago; at one time, it held nearly 500 illegal immigrants. ultimately are reduced to misdemeanors through plea bargains.

U.S. attorneys in numerous states, including the four flanking the southern border, have authorized accompanying fast-track programs for felony offenders that allow cases to be resolved at warp speed.

‘Judicial emergency’

The programs have raised concerns about defendants’ constitutional rights and the sheer volume of work flooding the courts. Critics say the programs overburden the court system and distract authorities from prosecuting major crimes.

The debate surfaced tragically on Jan. 8, the day of the Tucson shooting rampage that severely wounded Rep. Gabrielle Giffords.

Arizona’s Chief Judge John Roll, who died in the gunfire at the Safeway parking lot, had been pleading with Congress to hire more judges in Arizona, the busiest corridor for illegal immigration and drug smuggling.

That winter morning, Roll went to the “Congress on Your Corner” meeting to thank Giffords for her efforts to secure more funding for the courts. Minutes after he lined up among her constituents, police say, the gunman began firing, and Roll died while trying to protect Giffords’ district director, Ron Barber.

“John just wanted to make sure people had proper due process,” said Barber, a college friend of the judge’s. “Though they were illegal entrants, he wanted to make sure that their rights were fully protected.”

Roll, a Republican who once served as an assistant U.S. attorney and who was appointed to the federal bench by President George H.W. Bush, was already overseeing a fast-track program for felony crossers in the Tucson courts.

Giffords may leave hospital soon The Associated Press HOUSTON — An aide to U.S. Rep. Gabrielle Giffords said Saturday she could be released from a rehabilitation hospital in Houston as early as this month, offering the latest indication that the Arizona congresswoman is making progress in recovering from a gunshot wound to the head.

But Chief of Staff Pia Carusone has made clear her boss still has difficulty stringing together sentences, and it remained unclear when, or if, she would be able to resume her congressional duties.

Giffords has been undergoing daily rehabilitation since January.

shall calls up the men in groups of five to read them their rights and accept their guilty pleas to illegally entering the country. Most would be sentenced to time served and likely would be taken to Mexico for deportation the same day.

In a few hours, they had been counseled, arraigned, convicted and sentenced for misdemeanor illegal entry.

The U.S. Sentencing Commission tracks the number of people who repeatedly enter the country illegally in a broad sentencing category called immigration crimes.

The number sent to prison for the primary crime of unlawfully entering or remaining in the U.S. jumped from 6,513 in fiscal year 2000 to 19,910 in fiscal year 2010.

Many people also were sentenced for that crime plus other, more serious offenses.

Many federal prosecutors in border states say those penalties are making illegal immigrants think twice about trying to cross again.

“Everybody knows where the

bulk of the illegal immigrants are coming from, and if you’re going to deal with the deterrent effect of putting some of those people who cross in prison for a while … then naturally you’re going to have a majority of those people be Hispanic,” said Sen. Jon Kyl, R-Ariz., who wants to expand Operation Streamline along the whole Southwest border. “Let’s just stop illegal immigration, and we won’t have that problem.”

Critics argue the downturn in the U.S. economy, a flat job market, more high-tech fencing and more border agents have been greater deterrents to illegal crossings. In the meantime, two Tucson federal defenders have challenged Operation Streamline’s legality, and call it a separate and unequal criminal justice system.

Those cases are in the appeals process.

Either way, the prison system has many more Hispanics than it did a decade ago, a demographic change experts said has already prompted debate among commissioners.

“I think anytime you have such a large proportion of one minority group sentenced to prison, that means the country needs to look closely at what it’s doing here,” said Fordham University Law School professor Deborah Denno, an expert on racial disparities in the criminal justice system.

Forest rules Continued from A1 The letter continues that sentiment: “We are concerned that the proposed rule seeks to elevate vague, undefined new concepts and categories of analysis such as ‘species of conservation concern,’ ‘restoration,’ ‘social sustainability,’ and ‘ecosystem resiliency’ above its primary multi-use statutory mandate,” which requires the agency to prioritize multiple use of the forests and sustained yields as it oversees the resources.

A Forest Service spokesman said Friday the agency was reviewing the letter and would respond directly to its authors.

The agency seeks to incorporate scientific developments that have occurred since 1982, when procedures for changing the planning rule were laid out. A new rule went into effect in 2000, but the agency soon determined it would be too difficult to implement. Subsequent efforts were struck down in federal court, most recently in 2009, and the rule reverted back to the 2000 version.

“The proposed rule demonstrates a strong commitment to sound science and to restoring our forests for the health of the environment and local communities,” said Tony Tooke, the agency’s director of ecosystem management coordination. “(It) would support vibrant communities by supporting multiple uses and rural job opportunities associated with outdoor recreation, wildlife and fish, wilderness, grazing, timber, energy, minerals, ecosystem services, and other relevant resources, uses and values.”

The American Forest Resource Council, whose members include the Associated Oregon Loggers and the Ochoco Lumber Co., has been critical of the new rules.

“As drafted, the proposed rule

has the potential to keep the Forest Service from managing our forests by forcing all financial and personnel resources to be focused on planning, rather than implementing projects; will provide even greater opportunities for opponents of timber management to delay projects and sue the Forest Service; and further distance the agency from affected local communities,” the AFRC’s May newsletter states. “… The proposed rule further complicates the planning process in ways that will be extremely costly in an era of shrinking federal agency budgets.”

The new rule’s consideration of climate change as it determines how to best manage the forests and grasslands appears to have rankled at least some of the letter’s signers. “The proposed rule also seeks to insert controversial climate change policies, not authorized by Congress, as a primary driver of future regulations on forest unit management,” the letter reads.

Previously, Walden has said publicly he believes global warming is real.

“It’s very clear to me the planet is getting warmer,” he told the Mail Tribune newspaper in Medford in 2007. “That has been pretty well concluded by the scientific community. We have temperature records going back more than 300 years demonstrating that.”

But the United States cannot solve the issue without other countries, particularly China and India, doing their part too, he said.

“Obviously, we should all do our parts, but if China and India don’t participate in a meaningful way, all we do is offshore our jobs there,” Walden said. “This has to be a global effort, not just local.”

Regulate Continued from A1 Jeffrey Goldstein, the Treasury undersecretary for domestic finance, finds these arguments so familiar that he has opened some meetings by asking the firms if they would like to designate themselves as systemically important. “I can’t recall a firm that came in and said yes,� he said.

Hedge fund managers, for example, normally pride themselves on being important. But armed with PowerPoint presentations and financial studies, representatives from some of Wall Street’s most powerful funds met with Federal Reserve staff members earlier this year to make one point: We’re too small to matter.

The hedge funds insisted their activities would not threaten the financial system because they control $1.7 trillion in assets, a drop in the bucket next to the $21.4 trillion overseen by the global mutual fund industry, according to documents they filed with regulators.

Two insurance giants took even stronger steps. They unloaded savings banks they owned as a pre-emptive strike against tougher federal supervision.

Regulators involved in the determination process say they are skeptical. “It is as if they are the Sisters of the Charity,� said one government official who has participated in meetings with financial companies. “They present themselves as if they don’t do anything complicated. They are playing a very interesting strategy game that nobody believes.�

It’s no secret that big banks with more than $50 billion in assets — Bank of America, Goldman Sachs, Citigroup, Wells Fargo — are automatically part of the club. They have turned their attention to diluting new requirements that would force them to hold an extra cushion of capital.

But a wide variety of financial companies that are not banks are trying to avoid membership. Besides the big insurers, hedge funds and mutual fund companies, major commercial lenders like General Electric have revved up their lobbying efforts. There have also been a few surprises, like Boeing, IBM and Caterpillar, which operate large finance businesses for their customers.

The lack of specific criteria from regulators so far has created mystery around who will get tagged. More clarity may come later this summer when regulators are expected to put out a more detailed proposal.

Criteria like size, how connected the firms are to one another, and overall risk levels will be more carefully defined.

OVERHAULING THE TAX CODE

Where might business taxes fit in?

Closing ‘loopholes’ would permit a drop in the corporate rate, and some say could reduce the deficit

By Tony Pugh McClatchy-Tribune News Service

WASHINGTON — Robert McIntyre shocked Washington in 1984 when he revealed that General Electric was one of 17 companies that paid no U.S. corporate taxes for three straight years.

The finding by McIntyre’s organization, the respected, liberalleaning Citizens for Tax Justice, sparked national outrage that helped pave the way for the Tax Reform Act of 1986. That landmark legislation eliminated tax loopholes to broaden the tax base while also lowering the corporate tax rate.

It also increased corporate tax revenue flowing into the Treasury by 34 percent.

As the Obama administration readies a proposal to overhaul the nation’s corporate tax structure once again, some of the same taxcode giveaways that prompted the 1986 overhaul have reappeared.

GE’s low U.S. corporate tax burden is still ruffling populist feathers, lobbyists and legislators have padded the tax code with hundreds of new loopholes — and McIntyre is again agitating for change.

This time around, he’s joined by dozens of national and state organizations that want corporations to pay down a larger share of this year’s $1.5 trillion federal deficit.

They’re urging Congress and the Obama administration to make it happen.

To simplify the tax system, President Barack Obama wants to close a host of corporate tax breaks and use the extra revenue that would generate to offset a reduction in the corporate tax rate.

America’s top corporate tax rate of 35 percent is one of the highest in the world, but most companies pay a much lower effective tax rate because the system is packed with tax breaks. “Get rid of the loopholes. Level the playing field. And use the savings to lower the corporate tax rate for the first time in 25 years — without adding to our deficit.

It can be done,� Obama said to applause during his State of the Union address.

But Obama’s approach wouldn’t take the revenue gained by ending loopholes to pay down the deficit, as liberals propose; he’d use it all as a trade-off for the lower corporate tax rate.

But we can do it again.� — Robert McIntyre, who helped pave the way for the Reagan-era Tax Reform Act Obama’s stand is rooted in political reality: Any plan to end corporate tax breaks and steer the revenues to the Treasury would be considered a tax increase by business and Republicans — and would be dead on arrival in the GOP-led House of Representatives. So instead, Obama backs a budget-neutral plan that would make the tax code more efficient and promote U.S. economic competitiveness, making it harder for opponents to reject his proposal outright.

His approach meets the terms of a tax pledge signed by more than 230 Republican representatives and 41 Republican senators.

In signing the pledge, sponsored

by Americans for Tax Reform, a conservative lobby, lawmakers agree to fight any efforts to cut or eliminate tax breaks unless they’re matched by identical cuts in the tax rate — which is exactly what the Obama plan calls for.

But McIntyre and his fellow liberal tax activists don’t like it. They question why savings from a reduction in corporate tax subsidies

should go right back to businesses in the form of a tax cut. Shouldn’t some, even most, of the billions in new revenue go toward reducing the deficit? After all, that would provide some relief to ordinary citizens who otherwise will bear most of the deficit-reduction burden through cuts in government services, they say.

Business lobbyists see things differently.

Caroline Harris, chief tax counsel for the U.S. Chamber of Commerce, said the federal deficit is due to overspending, not undertaxing (although that’s debatable, as statistics, reported earlier, show the overall federal tax burden is well below historical norms.) “If you have a spending problem, you need to fix it with spending cuts,� Harris said. “If Congress can’t show fiscal austerity and make spending cuts, then taxing or putting the weight of deficit reduction on the backs of businesses that create jobs is not a good idea.�

Republicans in Congress agree.

However, an April Gallup poll

found that 2 out of 3 Americans think corporations pay too little in taxes, while only 1 in 5 said businesses pay their fair share.

In a letter to Congress, McIntyre’s group and a host of labor and liberal allies say lawmakers, in their zeal to cut the federal budget, have ignored corporate tax subsidies, which deny the Treasury revenues and thus increase budget deficits the same as direct program spending. Why, they ask, aren’t those breaks on the table in all the deficit-reduction talks?

The 10 largest corporate tax breaks will cost the federal government more than $351 billion from 2010 to 2014, according to the nonpartisan Joint Committee on Taxation. “It makes no sense for Congress to debate cuts in public services that working families rely on while ignoring the public spending that benefits corporations and is hidden in the tax code,� the letter reads.

The sentiment has struck a note with liberal lawmakers such as Sen. Barbara Boxer, D-Calif., who says it’s time for revenue-raising tax overhauls. “It’s an opportunity to put into place some fair tax policies that, in fact, produce revenue from the richest people in this country and the richest corporations that should be paying,� Boxer said.

But getting any kind of taxcode clean-up through Congress is never easy, and in today’s polarized politics, it’s harder than ever.

Sen. Ron Wyden, D-Ore., and former Sen. Judd Gregg, R-N.H., sponsored the Bipartisan Tax Fairness and Simplification Act of 2010. It would have coupled a corporate tax cut with the rollback of tax breaks for individuals and corporations. The measure died in committee.

Until more details of Obama’s tax plan are released, it’s unclear how much support it could receive from Republicans and the corporate sector.

What is clear is that there’s little chance of passing legislation aimed at increasing corporate tax revenue, said Senate Budget Committee Chairman Kent Conrad, DN.D. “It’s very hard to be revenueneutral and reduce the (tax) rate, so going even further than that is a hard thing to do. Hard in terms of the substance. Hard in terms of the politics. Hard to do.�

Even McIntyre concedes that the fight will probably take several years. For inspiration, he remembers the years of work it took to pass the 1986 tax overhaul under President Ronald Reagan, a Democratic House and a Republican Senate. “It was kind of a miracle, and the stars had to be aligned. But we can do it again,� McIntyre said.

Deschutes plan to save 5 Bend police chief finalists all external on health care hits snag

By Hillary Borrud The Bulletin

An Oregon law that bars most nurse practitioners from dispensing drugs has thrown a wrench into Deschutes County’s plans to save money on employee health care through a new on-site clinic.

County officials hoped to dispense certain prepackaged prescription drugs the county can buy wholesale. The county hired a North Carolina-based company called Healthstat to operate the clinic, which opened in February.

“When Healthstat set up the clinic, they were proceeding on the assumption both a doctor and nurse practitioner could dispense,” said Deschutes County Administrator Dave Kanner.

In many states, nurse practitioners are authorized to dispense medications, Kanner said.

Healthstat and the county soon learned that only the doc-

“This is obviously one of those turf issues.”

— Susan King, executive director of the Oregon Nurses Association tor could dispense medicine because Oregon law bars nurse practitioners from dispensing drugs unless they are in rural communities where access to pharmacies is limited.

A bill in the Oregon House would allow all nurse practitioners to dispense drugs, but members of the Oregon Nurses Association say it’s unlikely to pass because the pharmacy industry successfully lobbied state representatives to block it.

Pharmacists oppose the bill because it would allow physician assistants to dispense medications, and neither phy-

The names of five candidates in the running to succeed Bend Police Chief Sandi Baxter will be announced Monday.

City spokesman Justin Finestone said Friday the city is holding back on naming the candidates to give Baxter an opportunity to go over the list with members of her department. None of the finalists currently work for the Bend Police Department.

Baxter joined the Bend Police Bend Police as a reserve officer in 1977, then Chief Sandi became a full-time officer in Baxter was 1979. She retired in late 2007, but planning to came back just seven months lat- retire June 30. er when City Manager Eric King appointed her as chief.

In January, Baxter announced she planned to leave her post on June 30, the final day of the city’s budget year. At the time, King said he hoped to have a group of candidates in Bend for interviews by May. Finestone said he was not certain why interviews are coming later than planned, but Baxter has agreed to stay on the job until the city can identify her replacement. The five candidates will be in Bend for interviews with city staff starting June 20.

Finestone said the city has not set a date to make a decision on offering the job to one of them.

sician assistants nor nurse practitioners are regulated by the state Board of Pharmacy, according to a lobbyist for the Oregon State Pharmacy Association.

If Senate Bill 952 does not pass this year, the nurses association will likely try again soon to gain dispensing authority for nurse practitioners, said Susan King, an emergency room nurse in Portland and executive director of the association.

In the meantime, Deschutes County has set up a dispensing schedule for the physician who works at the on-site clinic and solicited proposals from companies that provide pharmacy services. Only one company has responded. Kanner said he does not know how much it might cost the county to hire a pharmacist and pharmacy technician.

SALEM — Rep. Jason Conger, R-Bend, told fellow lawmakers on the House floor last week that he was going to speak to them as a citizen of Bend, not as a legislator.

Long after his days at the Capitol are over, Conger told them, he will continue to live in Bend and “want to be represented by people who have to earn my vote. I want to be represented by candidates who will get in there and fight and engage in that competition of ideas.”

Last week, Oregon lawmakers approved the redrawing of legislative districts, marking the first time in more than three decades the two parties have agreed on a redistricting plan. The plan is expected to be signed into law by Gov. John Kitzhaber.

Conger, who represents one of the districts most altered by the redrawn boundaries, said he could not vote in favor of what he called political manipulation. He believes the way the lines were moved in his district does not foster political competitiveness.

Instead, it gives an edge to Democrats.

“Some of you may be viewing this plan as creating an advantage for a particular party to retake control of this Legislature,” Conger said. “If that is true, shame on you.”

This week in Salem: The Republican lawmaker from Hillsboro was the only freshman lawmaker on the four-person negotiating team charged with redrawing the state’s legislative districts. Last week, both chambers approved the legislative maps, marking the first time in more than three decades the two parties have reached a redistricting agreement. Lindsay said when he was first assigned to the redistricting committee he had no idea what to expect. “Once I learned the reality,” he said, “I felt overwhelmed.” He said the process — one many lawmakers call the most political process the Legislature does — was good in that the two sides worked together as diplomatically as they could despite high tension. “My counterparts on the other side of the aisle were good quality individuals,” he said. But there are parts of the system he would change. Instead of the two parties drawing individual maps, presenting them and then trying to reach an agreement, he would recommend skipping that process. “Next time, forget the two different silos and just draw the map together,” he said. And he isn’t sure the process should stay in the Capitol. “I’m inclined to think an independent commission is a better system. I don’t know which independent system is the best. I’ll investigate and consider that more.”

Washington Week WASHINGTON — This week featured a “district work period” for the House of Representatives, so no votes were taken in the lower chamber. On Thursday, Sen. Jeff Merkley, D-Ore., published a piece on the Huffington Post website calling for the speedy withdrawal of U.S. troops from Afghanistan.

“Our national security demands that we continue to root out al Qaeda, wherever in the world they may hide — not that we engage in an ambitious nationbuilding exercise in Afghanistan,” Merkley wrote.

“After nearly ten years and hundreds of billions of dollars later, we should safely and expeditiously end our war in Afghanistan, start a sizeable and sustained withdrawal of our troops next month with a goal of ending the combat and nation-building mission as soon as possible, and use the hundreds of billions of dollars in savings to reduce the deficit and make smart investments here at home.”

Merkley is soliciting signatures for a letter he and Sens. Mike Lee, R-Utah, and Mark Udall, D-Colo., intend to submit to President Obama, urging him to initiate a “sizable and sustained reduction of U.S. military forces in Afghanistan, beginning in July 2011.”

“Endemic corruption in Afghanistan diverts resources intended to build roads, schools, and clinics, and some of these funds end up in the hands of the insurgents,” the letter states.

“Appointments of provincial and local officials on

the basis of personal alliances and graft leads to deep mistrust by the Afghan population. While it is a laudable objective to attempt to build new civic institutions in Afghanistan, this goal does not justify the loss of American lives or the investment of hundreds of billions of taxpayer dollars.”

As of Thursday, 16 senators, including Sen. Ron Wyden, D-Ore., had signed the letter.

The Senate also discussed the Economic Development Revitalization Act, which would increase funding for the Economic Development Administration. Wyden spoke on the Senate floor Thursday, saying that EDA could help the nanotechnology industry create high-paying jobs in America.

“Federal efforts can support private sector initiatives in the nanotechnology field and together leverage U.S. advantages in innovation and technology and particularly facilitate job growth,” he said. “America is in a fight for the future of nanotechnology. We are seeing China and a lot of our global competitors making major investments in this area. Our private sector is stepping up, but we ought to have the government partner as well.

That is why EDA’s support of nanotechnology and the innovation economy is so critical. They have partnered with the National Science Foundation and the National Institutes of Health to promote innovative approaches in health and science.”

Compiled from Bulletin staff reports

2 accused of scaling, breaking into hotel Two men who slipped into a room at the Oxford Hotel in downtown Bend through an unlocked balcony door were arrested early Saturday for burglary.

According to a news release, around 2:30 a.m. the concierge at the hotel contacted police to report a couple staying on the fourth floor of the hotel had been awakened by a man inside their room.

The man had grabbed a bottle of wine from the room, and when the guests shouted at him, he went out to the balcony where he and a second man climbed down the side of the hotel and escaped on foot.

The bottle of wine was left behind on the balcony.

An officer spotted the man who had stayed outside on the balcony, identified as Benjamin Shirley, of Bend, running from the hotel down Tin Pan Alley.

At the Chase Bank on Northwest Franklin Avenue, Shirley, 31, was located hiding near a trash container and arrested on charges of first-degree criminal trespassing.

The second suspect, 26-yearold Peter Michael Landman, of Bend, was contacted by phone and agreed to turn himself in.

He was arrested on charges of first-degree burglary. Both men remained in the Deschutes County Jail as of Saturday afternoon.

Injured hiker rescued from Boyd Cave A man who twisted his ankle at Boyd Cave southeast of Bend was rescued Friday night

by Deschutes County Sheriff’s deputies, according to a news release.

Cameron Gaertner, 23, of La Grande, was hiking at the cave with a friend Friday when he sprained his ankle around 6:30 p.m.

Over the next few hours, he attempted to walk another 100 feet, having little success. With no flashlights and no warm clothing for nighttime temperatures, Gaertner and his friend opted to call 911 around 10:45 p.m.

Deputies responding to the area located Gaertner about a quarter-mile east of the parking lot.

He was transported to the parking area on the back of an ATV and then to St. Charles Bend by his friend for further treatment.

3 transients accused of assault, robbery Bend Police arrested three transient men suspected of attacking and robbing another transient man Friday night.

Bend Police responded to the ShopKo parking lot on Bend’s north side about 11 p.m., where they encountered the victim, 35-year-old Jeffery Dale McManus. According to police reports, McManus had been resting on a bench when three men invited him to drink beer with them.

The men then attacked McManus, knocking him to the ground and kicking and hitting him before stealing an unspecified quantity of cash from him, according to police.

Officers located the three suspects nearby. Richard Stephen Johnson, 33, James C. Bonham, 32, and Robert D. Randolph, 48, were all arrested and booked into Deschutes County Jail on charges of third-degree assault and second-degree robbery.

Nevada demands federal action on radioactive waste

By Ralph Vartabedian Los Angeles Times

The Nevada Legislature has taken the first step in demanding that the federal government make amends for massive radioactive contamination left from decades of nuclear weapons testing on a swath of desert the size of Rhode Island.

In a joint resolution, the state’s Senate and House are asking the federal government to contain and mitigate about 300 million curies of contamination left in

the soil and water of the former Nevada Test Site, about 100 miles north of Las Vegas.

The Energy Department detonated 921 nuclear warheads underground before testing ended in 1992. It is estimated that 1.6 trillion gallons of water in aquifers under the site are radioactively contaminated with the byproducts of the bomb tests.

The resolution will open the way for Nevada to demand compensation for the loss of its water resources, said state As-

semblyman Ed Goedhart, the resolution’s lead sponsor. He said the resolution came about from a detailed examination of the radioactive legacy of testing that was published by the Los Angeles Times in November 2009. “It is one of the largest contamination zones in the U.S., if not the world,� Goedhart said. “If we are prevented from using our water resources, it is a taking and we should be compensated.�

The Energy Department has

said the contaminated water is moving very slowly downhill toward Death Valley National Park, but it could take thousands of years to reach any affected community.

Until then, it would be technically and economically impossible to purify the water, some of which is 5,000 feet below the land surface, Energy Department scientists have asserted. “The test site has been declared a sacrifice zone,� said Joe Strollin, acting director of

the state of Nevada’s Agency for Nuclear Projects. “The federal officials are basically taking the approach that this can never be cleaned up and will be monitored in perpetuity.�

Darwin Morgan, spokesman for the federal facility, now known as the Nevada National Security Site, said the federal government has broadly involved state and local officials in its efforts under a consent order to monitor the contaminated water.

To raise $7 million, legislators may up medical pot card fees

By Jeff Barnard and Jonathan J. Cooper The Associated Press

GRANTS PASS — Faced with tough budget decisions, Oregon lawmakers are looking at tapping the popular medical marijuana program for an estimated $7 million to fund other health programs and reject a pile of bills that would have made it much tougher for people to get a medical marijuana card.

It’s a legislative attitude adjustment that had marijuana advocates crying foul at the idea of doubling the annual fees charged marijuana patients to $200. But they think they it may move Oregon a step closer to their goal of bringing medical marijuana into the mainstream economy where it can be readily available to anyone and taxed.

“It’s not good for the patients,” said Christine McGarvin, a member of the state Medical Marijuana Advisory Committee.

“I do appreciate the politics of it.”

With law enforcement from the U.S. attorney’s office to local sheriffs and police chiefs decrying medical marijuana as out of control, the Legislature saw more than a dozen bills aimed at

reining in one aspect or another of the program that went into effect in 1999. Eventually, a team of three former state troopers came up with a bill that would have made it virtually impossible for doctors to prescribe the drug.

The bill was relegated to a quiet death in committee.

Rep. Andy Olson, R-Albany, a former state police lieutenant, said their bill was dead for the year, but he plans to work on the issue through the summer and fall and bring back a bill next year.

This past week a Ways and Means subcommittee approved doubling the $100 annual fee for medical marijuana patients, and imposing a new $200 fee on growers who are not already patients. The $20 discount for poor people receiving food stamps and state medical coverage will be eliminated, and only available to people on social security.

The $7 million raised will go to other programs within the cashstrapped Oregon Health Authority, including clean water, emergency medical care, and school health centers.

The fee hike still needs approval of the full House and Senate.

If the measure gains full approval as part of the budget, the fee increases go into effect July 1.

Rep. Tim Freeman, R-Freeman, said he wouldn’t call the medical marijuana program a cash cow, but acknowledged that the additional revenue is being used to subsidize unrelated services.

Freeman said Gov. John Kitzhaber’s recommended budget left a large hole in public health funding. The Oregon Health Authority had already planned to increase fees in the medical marijuana program but decided to hike them even higher to help fill the budget gap.

The fee increases came out of the governor’s direction that some health programs that received general fund revenue in the past would have to find fee revenue instead, said Barry Kast, interim director of the Office of Community Health, which includes the Oregon Medical Marijuana Program.

As of April, nearly 40,000 Oregonians held patient cards at $100 apiece, raising about $4 million a year. Separate legislation would charge patients $10 to replace a lost card.

Medical marijuana advocates decry the idea of a fee increase as an unfair tax on some of Oregon’s poorest citizens.

“We managed to escape, I thought, without any changes to the program,” said Bob Wolfe, of the Oregon Marijuana Policy Initiative. “All of a sudden, out of nowhere, we get this stealth tax on the poorest people in Oregon.”

But Paul Stanford, who owns a chain of medical marijuana clinics and is gathering signatures for a marijuana legalization initiative for the 2012 ballot, said the budget measure bodes well for eventual legalization of marijuana. He estimated that taxing it could raise $150 million a year.

Morgan Fox, communications manager for the Marijuana Policy Project in Washington, D.C., said Oregon was following in the footsteps of states like Colorado and Vermont, which have been gradually making medical marijuana more accessible and putting it under more state control.

“If we are willing to realize it is legitimate to tax patients to fund social programs, we should be willing to see it is legitimate enough to open it up as an industry.”

FREE BANKRUPTCY EVALUATION

Corvallis weighs ads on city buses The Associated Press CORVALLIS — The $40,000 that the city of Corvallis rakes in each year from ads on city buses could be in jeopardy as its city council weighs the merits of enforcing a policy that restricts the ads to promotions for goods and services.

The Corvallis Gazette-Times reports city leaders are considering changing the policy after Portland’s transit system was sued successfully and forced to open its trains and buses to ads of all types.

A state court ruled Portland can’t exclude only certain types of ads.

“The end result is no great surprise,” said assistant city attorney Jim Brewer, “that contentbased restrictions on buses are questionable — if not run afoul — of Oregon’s Constitution.”

The council is considering three options. They will either leave the current policy in place,

change the policy to block all but pornographic and libelous ads, or stop advertising on all city buses.

The debate on expanding or curtailing the ad program is still in the discussion stage, though city transit director Tim Bates said he expects a proposal for a revised policy to come before the city council soon.

The current Corvallis policy prohibits tobacco and alcohol advertisements, unlawful conduct, obscenity, nudity, city-endorsed ads, and any symbol or image that might interfere with traffic safety.

Also limited: Ads referencing politics or religion.

The city draws its proceeds from the program from payments for the advertisements and matching federal grants.

Corvallis has sold ads on its buses since 2004. That year, the city council also enacted the ad restrictions.

EUGENE — The University of Oregon’s research partnership with the African nation of Gabon is heralded as groundbreaking, but also means the university is entering a relationship with a nation troubled by accusations of electoral fraud and corruption.

The research partnership features mutual training of students from universities in Gabon and Oregon, as well as research collaboration on topics including ecotourism and environmental governance, the Eugene Register-Guard reports.

The agreement also means Transnational Research Centers will be established in Eugene and in the Gabonese capital of Libreville. The centers will promote research, internships and study-abroad placements.

Plans to build St. Francis School on Bond Street unveiled in 1936

Californians urged to get whooping cough vaccine

By Rong-Gong Lin Ii Los Angeles Times

100 YEARS AGO

Y E S T E R D AY

For the week ending June 11, 1911 FIRST ANNUAL MEETING FRUITFUL All the directors of the Bend Company, the organization that owns the Bend townsite, water and lighting plants and the old P.B.D. lumber mill, were present at the annual stockholders and directors meetings held here on Monday.

Enlargement of the present mill, increase in the capacity of the lighting equipment, and the installation of a day power service, were among the important announcements that resulted from the gathering of those who directly control the developments of the townsite holdings.

R.F. Averill has been placed in charge of the conduct of the Bend Water Light & Power Company.

The directors of the organization are D.F. Brooks (President), D.E. Hunter, H.E. Gupson, A.O. Hunter and Clyde McKay. “Just as soon as possible we will install another generator at the lighting plant,” said Dr. Brooks.

“The addition of this generator will increase the power capacity from 135 horse power, as at present, to 270 horse power. A day current will be maintained, and ample power supplied for the operation of any and all industries that may care to take advantage of it. The present dam is capable of producing 2000 horse power. I have no doubt the development of all this will take place very soon.

“Yes, we mean to enlarge our mill here at once. Perhaps a little later we will erect another. We plan to install a band saw and other improved equipment, about doubling the plant’s capacity.

Probably 100 men or more will be employed; at present there are about 60 on the pay roll.”

In speaking of the utilization of the Deschutes yellow pine E.C. Mueller, who is considered one of the leaders in lumber knowledge in the country, spoke in praise of its great commercial worth.

“I don’t believe it is generally realized how exceptionally valuable this timber is. Carpenters familiar with it declare it is the equal of the eastern white pine for easy working. Later an enormous quantity will be used in sash and door, box and furniture factories. Will we be able to introduce it to the middle west? Indeed, yes. I believe we will get the same freight rate as holds from Baker — 42 cents. This will give us an advantage of three cents over the products of the coast.”

On Monday evening there was an informal meeting of the local business men in the Commercial Club rooms to meet the members of the Bend Company. The gist of the visitors’ remarks was expression of their confidence in Bend’s future.

Yesterday morning the visitors left.

The immediate installation of new logging camps 2½ miles up the Deschutes is announced by Clyde McKay.

75 YEARS AGO For the week ending June 11, 1936 CATHOLIC SCHOOL PLANNED IN BEND Plans for the construction of a two room parochial building were announced today by Rev.

Luke Sheehan, pastor of St. Francis Catholic church. The building will be located on the east side of Bond street between Franklin and Louisiana avenues. It will be of brick construction and 72 by 24 feet in size. The cost will be about $12,000 or $13,000, Father Sheehan said. E.P. Brosterhous will be in charge of construction.

Sisters of St. Joseph of Tipton, Ind., the same order which is charge of St. Charles hospital, will be in charge of the school. It is planned to use the two rooms of the brick building for fourth, fifth, sixth and seventh grades with primary grades taken care of in the parish hall.

PIGGLY WIGGLY STORE NAMES NEW MANAGER Dale Jacobs has been made manager of the Bend Piggly Wiggly store, it was announced today. Jacobs succeeds Harold Davis, who has been named manager of a Piggly Wiggly store in Vancouver, Wash.

Jacobs has been a resident of Bend for 12 years and has been head salesman for the last year.

Roland Anderson, 1932 Bend High School graduate, has taken over the work previously handled by Davis.

MIRROR POND IS FILLED AND PLACID Bend’s mirror pond is again full and placid today, with ducks, swans and geese swimming back and forth across the basin that for 12 days was covered by unsightly mud flats. The power dam flood gates were closed yesterday afternoon and the huge pond rapidly filled.

The pond was drained nearly two weeks ago to permit contractors to sink footings for the Newport avenue bridge piers. While the water was low, the contractors used three shifts daily on the bridge.

Mired in the mud while water was out of the pond, the “Queen of the Deschutes”, Fourth of July float, floated again as the pond attained its normal level.

It is believed the draining of the pond will solve the aquatic weed problem for the current year, although it is believed that hot weather would have resulted in a far greater mortality.

50 YEARS AGO For the week ending June 11, 1961 CULVER HAS PIONEER HISTORY THAT GOES FAR BEYOND ITS FOUNDING JUST FIFTY YEARS AGO Culver, founded and platted just 50 years ago as Oregon Trunk steel from the north abruptly stopped at Crooked River gorge while a high span was taking shape, is observing its Golden anniversary today.

The occasion is Founders Day. Receiving special honors is William C. Barber, who founded Culver, and other 50-year residents of the area. All Central Oregon has been invited to the celebration.

Actually, Culver has a history that is more than 50 years old.

Like a number of other midOregon towns of earlier years, Culver is a little city that moved at least once.

Possibly the modern story of Culver dated to late 1900 and a

dinner party of old settlers living at the Haystack country. At that dinner, O.G. Collver, who came to Central Oregon from Roseburg in 1877, was requested to make an application for a post office and to serve as postmaster.

A number of names of old timers of the area were submitted as the name for the post office that was to be established in Crook County of that day. The name Culver was adopted. That was the ancestral name of the Collver family.

On October 31, 1900, the name Culver appeared on the U.S. Postal map of Western America, with R.C. Collver as postmaster.

But the location of the Culver post office was not the location of the present town, Culver. The post office was some five miles to the east of the town, which took shape when railroads, ending their $25,000,000 battle in the Deschutes gorge, came up on the Central Oregon plateau and headed for the Deschutes canyon and, eventually Redmond and Bend.

Of course, all this historical background will be presented at the celebration in Culver today.

We hope that a bit of earlier history will not be overlooked. That history dates to late December, 1825, when a fur brigade came out of the Deschutes canyon in the Warm Springs area of the present and passed just to the east of Culver, heading for the Grizzly-Gray Butte Gap. Heading that fur brigade was Peter Skene Ogdon of the Hudson’s Bay Company, who made the first recorded exploration of the area.

There will be much history in the short talks at the Culver golden anniversary observance today. It would be proper to preserve those talks and make then a part of the interesting story of Central Oregon.

It is a story unknown to most of the new residents of the North Unit Project of Jefferson County, where new homes and green fields have replaced the windbeaten sand blasted homes and the dusty fields of another era.

25 YEARS AGO For the week ending June 11, 1986 FAMILY BUSINESS UP FOR SALE Bob and Joanne Lubcke haven’t owned the Delaware Grocery and Ice House for very long, but when they talk about it, they used near-reverent tones.

The 65-year-old market, with the ice plant in back and living quarters upstairs, has became almost like a member of the Lubcke family since they bought it six years ago. It has become less like a business and more like a way of life, less like a grocery store and more like a community center/infirmary in the heart of Bend’s oldest neighborhood.

“The only thing we can offer that you won’t necessarily find in the big stores ... they can’t deal on a one-to-one basis,” Bob Lubcke said.

“Most of the people, we know ’em by name,” said Lubcke, a nine-year veteran of the Bend Police Department.

“We try to give them quality service. We have broad

YOUR LIFE • YOUR COLOR • YOUR STYLE

shoulders. We’ve been asked for advice because of our age and mileage. Everyone figures I know all the legal angles. We have had kids come in here with split heads. Their parents aren’t home. We mop them off, patch them up and send them home.

“It’s just an All-American situation. You’re faced with a little bit of everything at one time or another and that’s why it’s so interesting.”

Still it’s time to move on. Arthritis in his hands is making it harder for Lubcke to haul around 300 pound blocks of ice and do the little things that make the store run.

The store, the ice plant, the five upstairs apartments — they’re all for sale for a cool $175,000 plus inventory.

“There comes a time when you need to change and slow down and that’s what we’re trying to do,” he said. “Want to find something that allows us to walk a little slower and enjoy the people more. It needs a younger source of ambition and energy, to take care of the people and the remodeling project upstairs and make it more income producing.

Lubcke said he and his wife are the fifth family to own the store, which he said is the oldest continually operated business in Bend.

The store was built in 1921 by Mike and John Todoroff, a block from the main gate of the old Brooks-Scanlon lumber mill, to serve the workers on their way to and from work. Nick Peterson bought the store in 1926, then expanded onto the rear and added a second floor apartment a couple of years later. In the mid-1930s, Peterson built the ice plant at the urging of old-time grocery owner Nick Nicholson and finished the second floor.

Peterson turned the store over to his son George and his wife Bonnie, in 1960. The Lubckes bought it in 1979.

The store’s story is included in a mural the Lubckes had painted on the west side of the building. Bob Lubcke compiled the buildings history a few years ago when he was thinking abut trying to have the store declared an historic site.

LOS ANGELES — More than 1,000 people in California have been infected with whooping cough this year, and health officials have encouraged the public to get immunizations against the bacterial disease.

A new law goes into effect July 1 requiring middle school and high school students to show proof that they have received a whooping cough booster shot, known as Tdap, before entering school this fall.

Authorities on Friday urged parents to make sure their children get the vaccine early in the summer to avoid a rush of vaccinations in August and September. They also encour-

aged the wider public to get vaccinated.

So far in 2011, there have been 1,102 cases of whooping cough, also known as pertussis, reported to the state. That’s a rate of about 8 cases of infection per 100,000 people. The rate is higher than normal, but also shows an improvement from the peak last year, when there were about 23 cases per 100,000 people.

“While it is too early to know if this year will reach the same high levels of this debilitating disease, California is currently experiencing more cases than would be typically expected,” Dr. Howard Backer, interim director of the California Department of Public Health, said in a statement.

Nurses Continued from B1

Nurse exception is recent

Jae C. Hong / The Associated Press

Ruben Rios, a quadriplegic, plays a video game using a special mouth controller in his home in Norwalk, Calif. When Rios plays videos games he uses top and bottom lip controls, a cross bar mouth joystick and a number of holes and tubes he can puff or sip into to articulate actions in game.

With unique mouth controllers, quadriplegic gamers can play

By Stephen Dockery The Associated Press

HELENA, Mont. — For Ruben Rios to throw a touchdown, it takes a flick of his tongue. To break away from a tackle, he puffs into a tube.

Rios is a quadriplegic with no use of his body below his shoulders. For Rios to play video games like “Madden NFL 11” he uses a controller that combines lip controls, puff and sip tubes and a head-operated joystick.

That mouth controller is an innovation from Ken Yankelevitz, a Montana engineer whose hobby is hand-making unique controllers to give quadriplegics access to video games usually requiring two hands.

But with the retired Bozeman engineer’s 70th birthday approaching, disabled gamers say they fear there will be no one to replace Yankelevitz, who has sustained quadriplegic game controllers for 30 years almost entirely by himself. The retired aerospace engineer hand makes the controllers with custom parts in his Montana workshop, offering them at a price just enough to cover parts.

Gamers and gaming advocates say the Yankelevitz controller’s functionality and price is unrivaled for quadriplegics.

Yankelevitz began his work on mouth-operated video game controllers in 1981 for the Atari game console to give quadriplegic people a chance to engage with one of the few activities open to them. The design was simple on the early models; users only needed to be able to push a few buttons and move a joystick through their controllers.

Over time Yankelevitz adapted the designs to more complex consoles including the XBox and PlayStation platforms. He has no formal relationship with any of the companies, saying they aren’t interested because there isn’t a sufficient market..

Quadriplegic gamers now have around a dozen different actions

“I can’t emphasize enough how important this (is) to people with high spinal cord injuries.”

Ruben Rios, who was paralyzed from the shoulders down by a gunshot wound they can work with their mouth.

It’s a complicated system that can be difficult to learn. But for quadriplegics, who suffer paralysis of both arms and both legs and who are largely dependent on others, the device gives them something entirely their own.

“After my injury there really wasn’t anything that I could do that I was actually in control of,” said Rios, who lost control of his body after a gunshot wound in 1988.

When Rios began using a Yankelevitz controller in 1991 that changed. It was a relief, he said, to enjoy something on the same level as his friends.

With video games and online communities, quadriplegics have access to friends and freedoms not possible otherwise. It’s not just a basic level of control, either.

Quadriplegics have proven competitive against and sometimes besting two-handed gamers.

“I can’t emphasize enough how important this (is) to people with high spinal cord injuries,” Rios said.

That meaning is what prompted Yankelevitz to embrace the challenge of his 30 year hobby, the reward of helping others.

“As long as I’m making a controller that will work, then they are motivated,” said Yankelevitz, a former aerospace engineer.

Quadriplegics are a small portion of a growing community of gamers with all types of disabilities who are pushing for more accessible games and game controllers, according to Mark Bar-

let, 37, a disabled veteran, gamer and president of the AbleGamers foundation. His organization works to promote gaming access.

Barlet said gaming is an important connection to the world for those with disabilities. “People have relationships that are completely and totally digital, and they are meaningful relationships,” he said.

Barlet said Yankelevitz’s controller is the only one like it out there, calling it “unique in terms of accessibility.”

But gaming by quadriplegics is a tiny corner of the market that Yankelevitz has sustained by himself for three decades and his output is slowing.

He doesn’t want to quit now, but said that he won’t be going on forever.

Recently he shut down operation of his shop for half the year to spend time in Southern California, where he used to work.

If someone wanted to fill his shoes, it wouldn’t be an easy task.

He puts each controller together by hand, using his engineering skills to solder dozens of switches and circuits. Controllers are offered for just over $200 and include a 1-year warranty for repairs.

“If the bottom line is profit, there’s no way to make a profit on these,” Yankelevitz said.

Yankelevitz said larger companies and game manufacturers have shown no interest in producing the controllers because the market is so small. He’s sold just over 800 of the devices through 30 years. Factory construction of the controller would be cost prohibitive, over $1000 each, he said.

Other products don’t offer near the same functionality and they come at a much higher price.

There looks to be no comparable substitute available in the near future.

“If Ken (Yankelevitz) stops making these controllers we’re going to be pretty much left out to dry,” Rios said.

A few years ago, the Oregon Nurses Association successfully pushed for a narrow exception in state law, which allows nurse practitioners and clinic nurse specialists to write prescriptions and dispense drugs in rural areas where access to pharmaceuticals is limited.

To be eligible for this authority, nurse practitioners must be located in a county with a population of less than 75,000, at least 30 miles from the closest hospital in a metropolitan area, or outside the boundaries of a metropolitan statistical area.

King said that pharmacists “were very adamantly opposed to nurse practitioners dispensing.”

“This is obviously one of those turf issues,” King said.

Pharmacists and pharmaceutical businesses have not similarly opposed doctors’ ability to dispense drugs, King said, because physicians’ have always had that right. By contrast, nurse practitioners have only been licensed in Oregon since the 1970s, King said.

“We’ve had to build their authority over time,” King said of nurse practitioners.

Jack Dempsey, director of government relations for the nurses’ association, said large pharmacy chain stores and the Oregon pharmacists’ association have held up the bill that would allow nurse practitioners to dispense drugs. The legislation passed in the Oregon Senate, but it’s now stuck in the Joint Ways

and Means Committee, the Legislature’s main budget-writing committee.

Bill Cross, a lobbyist for the Oregon State Pharmacy Association, said pharmacists oppose the bill because they are concerned it could reduce patient safety. Physician assistants do not have the necessary pharmacology education, and they are not regulated by the state Board of Pharmacy, Cross said. “(Nurse practitioners) take more hours of classes in pharmacology, so it’s a little more reassuring that they’re going to have the ability to understand the interaction of prepackaged drugs they’re dispensing, with other substances or prescriptions that a patient may be taking,” Cross said.

Pharmacists might be more receptive to nurse practitioners being allowed to dispense drugs, as opposed to physician assistants, Cross said. “I think there’s that concern again, there should be some assurance they’re complying with the state’s pharmacy requirements for outlets.”

County solicits bids Deschutes County requested proposals from companies that provide onsite pharmacy services and received one proposal. Last week, two county staff members traveled to Intel Corporation in Hillsboro, and

856 NW Bond • Downtown Bend • 541-330-5999 www.havenhomestyle.com

to El Paso County in Colorado to observe pharmacy services provided by that company, said Ronda Connor, the county’s benefits coordinator. Now, the county is waiting for information from the company, such as how long it would take to recoup an investment in pharmacy services.

The county has not yet committed to hiring pharmacy staff.

Kanner said there is little question the county can save “a good bit of money” by adding a pharmacist.

The county government is a small fish compared to the employers with whom these types of pharmacy companies normally contract.

“The reality is, even though for Deschutes County we’re a large insured group, we’re at the bottom range of what these pharmacy providers would respond to,” Kanner said.

In April, employees and their family members made 222 visits to the clinic, which Kanner said was 50 percent of the clinic’s capacity.

Blues Brothers trumpeter dies

By Valerie J. Nelson Los Angeles Times

Trumpet player Alan Rubin was recruited to join the Blues Brothers after backing up John Belushi and Dan Aykroyd in the “Saturday Night Live” television skits that spawned the band in the late 1970s.

One of many gifted session musicians in the group, Rubin became known for his movie portrayal of head waiter Mr. Fabulous in 1980’s “The Blues Brothers” and a 1998 sequel.

Rubin died Wednesday of lung cancer at Memorial Sloan-Kettering Cancer Center in New

York City, said his wife, Mary Moreno Rubin. He was 68.

He was a premier New York City session musician who was “sought out for his expertise in playing every style of music — from classical to jazz to blues to rock and disco — authentically and artistically,” the Original Blues Brothers Band said in a statement.

When asked about his professional biography, Rubin liked to say: “Been everywhere, played with everyone.”

Born Feb. 11, 1943, in New York City, Rubin took up the trumpet when he was about 10 and entered the Juilliard School at 17.

James Ronald Montgomery March 31, 1914 - June 4, 2011 Jim was born in Portland, Oregon at home to Clarence

and Ruby (Law) Montgomery. He attended school at Gregory Heights and Benson Polytechnic High School, class of 1936. At Benson he specialized in diesel engines which was to become his life’s specialty. While working at Consolidated Freight Lines (1938-1945) he met Bill Prathero and Wally Yost, both to become his business partners the next 73 years. Together they formed Diesel Service Unity Company (DSU) which is still doing business today.

Ace WWII fighter pilot dies at 98

By Dennis Hevesi New York Times News Service

John R. Alison, an ace fighter pilot in World War II who helped organize and lead a broad American air campaign that enabled British forces to bog down the Japanese in the jungles of Burma, died Monday at his home in Washington. He was 98.

His son David confirmed his death.

Alison, a retired Air Force Reserve major general, was a lieutenant colonel in what was then the Army Air Forces in late 1943 when Gen. Henry Arnold, commander of the Air Forces, assigned him and another lieutenant colonel to organize Operation Thursday, which is credited with having helped protect India from invasion by the Japanese. The other lieutenant colonel was Philip Cochran, the model for the character Flip Corkin in the comic strip “Terry and the Pirates.”

The two young officers came to Arnold’s attention for their exploits before and in the early years of the war.

Alison, who would go on to qualify as an ace by taking down seven enemy planes, was the pilot who demonstrated the capability of the Curtiss

P-40 Warhawk to the Nationalist Chinese leader, Chiang Kai-shek, when he came to the United States in 1940 to buy planes for the fabled American volunteer group the Flying Tigers.

In his book “Way of a Fighter” (1949), the commander of the Flying Tigers, Gen. Claire Chennault, recalled that “Alison got more out of that P-40 in his fiveminute demonstration than anybody I ever saw before or after.”

When he landed, Chennault said, members of the Chinese delegation “pointed at the P-40 and smiled, ‘We need 100 of these.’

‘No,’ I said, pointing to Alison, ‘You need 100 of these.’ ” Arnold decided he needed the two lieutenant colonels because the British, under Maj. Gen. Orde C. Wingate, had faced calamitous conditions in 1943 when they first tried to pin down Japanese occupation forces in Burma. Without air protection, the British slogged hundreds of miles into the jungle and had to leave their wounded to die.

At Wingate’s behest, Prime Minister Winston Churchill asked President Franklin D. Roosevelt to provide U.S. air support for another incursion. Arnold authorized the two officers to acquire as many aircraft and men as needed to put British forces behind Japanese lines, to set up

airfields to supply them and to evacuate the injured.

“They wrote the playbook to do this on the fly, because nobody had ever done this before,” said Douglas Birkey, director of government relations for the Air Force Association.

“Cochran and Alison are considered the grandfathers of the U.S. Air Force Special Operations Command.”

Alison is also survived by his wife of 60 years, the former Kathleen Arcidiano; another son, John; and three grandchildren.

THE BULLETIN • Sunday, June 12, 2011 B7

Conger Continued from B1 Only a few hours earlier on the Senate floor, Conger’s fellow Bend Republican, Sen. Chris Telfer, was also addressing her colleagues. She was on the fourperson team that negotiated the redistricting agreement. As she traveled across the state, she said, she heard a consistent message: Keep cities whole.

“So Bend was made whole and pushed to the borders,” Telfer said. “Now, I’m hearing it was gerrymandering and it was done unfairly.”

This session, Conger and Telfer have testified together in front of lawmakers with the hopes of getting a new building for OSU-Cascades. They worked together to support local school districts’ ability to opt out of a state-mandated insurance program. But as the session wraps up, they disagree on what has long been called the most political thing a Legislature does: redrawing the district lines.

The state’s population needs to be evenly divided into districts.

Each House district must have 63,851 people, and each Senate district must have 127,702 people.

Once every decade, lawmakers undertake the task of redrawing the lines based on census numbers.

Because Central Oregon grew substantially, both Telfer’s and Conger’s districts had to shed people. About 27,888 people were drawn out of Telfer’s district, which means she would no longer represent the people in Sisters, La Pine and Terrebonne.

And about 17,598 were drawn out of Conger’s district, which would shrink around the core of the city of Bend. A northwestern portion, including portions of Awbrey Butte, would go to Rep. Gene Whisnant, R-Sunriver, and an eastern slice would go to Rep. Mike McLane, R-Powell Butte.

Telfer said she “wholeheartedly” disagrees that the redrawing of Conger’s district amounts to political maneuvering. Conger, however, argues there were ways to draw the lines so the split between Republicans and Democrats would be more even.

According to Conger, Democrats will have a 6 percent voter-registration advantage in his redrawn district. They currently enjoy a 2.5-percentage point advantage.

Telfer did say Conger’s district was one of the “most contentious” in the negotiations. There was discussion of splitting Bend in half, either dividing it northsouth or east-west.

“When you have that discussion and that much disagreement, you fall back to the testimony and the common interest. Our focus was: Don’t divide a community of interest,” Telfer said.

The lines must be drawn based on communities of common interest, existing geographical boundaries and transportation links.

“You can’t say the south of Bend is a community of interest with Sunriver ... or the west of Bend, with what? Forest land?”

Telfer said. “You had to go back to

Salazar unsure about 2nd term leading Interior

By Allison Sherry The Denver Post

WASHINGTON — Dusting off from his latest skirmish with Republicans in Congress — his decision to reverse course two weeks ago on a divisive wildlands policy — U.S. Interior Secretary Ken Salazar is noncommittal about serving a second term for President Barack Obama.

“I’m not going to look that far into the future,” Salazar told The Denver Post when asked whether he would continue to serve if Obama is re-elected next year.

“I’m working very hard on the job I have now ... to implement the vision the president has in energy security in the United States.”

It has not been an easy 29 months for the former Democratic U.S. senator from Colorado.

Almost since Day One, he has pushed against 8-year-old policies from the Bush administration, making him a polemical — and deeply mistrusted — figure among Republicans, most of whom are Westerners or from states with significant oil and gas development.

“He’s a true senator in his disposition, which coming from the House is not a compliment,” said Rep. Rob Bishop, R-Utah.

“They’ve (Interior Department officials) totally ignored the people living in the West. ... His record on wildlands, treasured landscapes, energy development, his record has been atrocious.”

the testimony and the definition of a community of interest and keeping the city of Bend whole.”

Republican Rep. Mike McLane, R-Powell Butte, also voted against the plan on the House floor.

“Urban core,” he said, “is code for Democratic voters.”

McLane said that although the team of four lawmakers charged with negotiating the maps was split evenly, there was another large factor in the negotiating process.

“The secretary of state, she was

If the two sides couldn’t reach an agreement, the responsibility of redrawing the maps would go

to Secretary of State Kate Brown, a Democrat.

Where the Central Oregon lawmakers can all agree is that when it comes to redistricting, the policy should be kicked out of the Capitol and instead be decided by an independent body.

“I wouldn’t be opposed to an independent body drawing this map,” Telfer said. “It was excruciatingly difficult to keep politics aside and draw a fair map where Oregonians would have good representation and their issues

and their needs met.”

Ten years ago, when lawmakers could not reach a consensus on the maps, then-Secretary of State Bill Bradbury, a Democrat, drew them up. The recently approved maps do not veer far from the current maps, which are the product of Bradbury’s work. Republicans have long said those maps favor Democrats.

But Rep. Chris Garrett, D-Lake Oswego, pointed out that in the past decade, both parties have controlled the state House, which

is currently evenly split 30-30.

Telfer called redistricting the “most difficult process” she’s been involved in. She said she has had conversations with Conger about how the lines came to be.

“I think we disagree about this process, but as far as when it comes to representing constituents, we’re together on that and we’ll continue on that,” Telfer said.

A kayaker in Deception Pass State Park on Fadalgo Island, Wash., in 2007. Starting in July, Washington parks will rely directly on new entrance fees — $30 for an annual pass, $10 for one day.

“We’re paying a lot more attention to — and I hate this phrase — running them like a business, because they’re not a business.”

— Richard Just, chief planner at the Idaho Department of Parks and Recreation full-time Ohio parks employees has declined by nearly 40 percent over the past decade, and the state says it faces $1 billion in delayed repairs and maintenance.

“I don’t want to see the parks become refineries or anything like that,” said Paul Wolf, president of Friends for the Preservation of Ohio State Parks. “But it’s a tough decision to make. If parks deteriorate, what good is keeping drilling out of the parks?”

“We’re catering more to Middle America, to middle-class recreationists, and there’s nothing wrong with that,” said Richard Just, chief planner at the Idaho Department of Parks and Recreation and immediate past president of National Association of Recreation Resource Planners.

But, Just said, a basic pact between parks and the public — the idea that parks will be easily accessible and affordable, and safeguarded by the state — is at

risk. He recalled a new board member of the association asking, “In what way are they state parks anymore?”

Last year, Gov. C.L. Otter of Idaho proposed eliminating the parks department altogether.

That plan died amid resistance and concerns over a loss in federal matching funds, but parks officials are not relaxing. Just pointed to Farragut State Park near Coeur d’Alene, Idaho, where he said the state makes money from entrance fees as well as by selling discs to users of its Wreckreator disc golf course.

The idea is to do what the views of the northern Rockies apparently cannot do alone: attract a variety of park users and their money.

“We’ve put all of our eggs in the marketing basket,” Just said.

“We’re paying a lot more attention to — and I hate this phrase — running them like a business, because they’re not a business.”

Efforts at streamlining and privatizing are everywhere. Colorado just approved merging its parks department with the Division of Wildlife. Arizona and Florida are considering privatizing park operations. Local governments have taken over operations at certain state parks. Community groups mow grass and plow snow. One, in Aurora, N.Y., is paying for a portable toilet for Knox Farm State Park.

A Difference You Can Hear.

By William Yardley DECEPTION PASS STATE PARK, Wash. — As the summer season gets under way, budgetstrapped state parks are pursuing creative and sometimes controversial solutions simply to stay open. Many are imposing steep new fees, leaning ever more heavily on volunteers and, in one ominous effort to raise money, even pushing to drill for oil and gas beneath hiking trails and picnic pavilions.

The vast majority of states have cut park financing, often significantly, since the economic downturn took full hold in 2008, and some were cutting long before that. Some parks are closing altogether; Gov. Jerry Brown of California in recent weeks announced plans to permanently close 70 of the state’s 278 parks this fall. Even where parks remain open, the compromises they make to do so are often uncomfortable.

“There have been lines that have been crossed that were unthinkable a couple of years ago,” said Richard Dolesh, chief of public policy for the National Recreation and Park Association.

Here in Washington, one of only a handful of states that has not charged entrance fees to state parks, the revenue stream is about to change. Beginning July 1, the parks will no longer receive state money for their operating budgets. Instead, they will rely directly on new entrance fees — $30 for an annual pass, $10 for one day. It is far from clear that the new plan will compensate for the $70 million in state money that parks are losing each year.

“We’re totally free of the tax system,” said Jack Hartt, the manager here at Deception Pass State Park. “If you support the park system, you’ll buy a pass. If not, you won’t.

“Customers,” Hartt said, “is the new buzzword.”

One of the most inventive efforts is in Ohio, where the Legislature is set to approve a bill that would allow drilling for oil and gas in the shale beneath some state parks. Lawmakers say parks would directly benefit from revenues. The number of

Scores of gulls soar above rocks just offshore from Sooke, a small Vancouver Island town 40 minutes from Victoria. Washington’s Olympic Mountains rise in the distance, 20 miles across the Strait of Juan de Fuca.

SPOTLIGHT

I

f you’ve never heard of this small town on Canada’s Vancouver Island, don’t feel bad. You’re not alone.

But if you do manage to find your way to Sooke (the name rhymes with “Duke”), you may find yourself wanting to come back — again and again.

During a recent visit to British Columbia’s capital city of Victoria, I took advantage of the opportunity to detour 37 kilometers (23 miles) and a 40-minute drive southwest to Sooke for two nights.

Specifically, I went to visit Sooke Harbour House, a small European-style inn with a seamless reputation.

Sinclair and Frederique Philip’s European-style hotel-restaurant was on the cutting edge of farm-to-fork cuisine before that term had even been coined. Way back in 1979, they bought a quiet country inn with five sharedbath guest rooms and a small dining room. At the same time, they planted a garden to grow their own vegetables, fruit, herbs and flowers. They even added a seaweed garden to nourish the bounty of the adjacent Strait of Juan de Fuca.

Silly Lilly heading to Thailand

By David Jasper The Bulletin

Tina Myers — the woman who’s spent much of the last 12 years performing at parties, festivals and corporate events as Silly Lilly — is preparing to take her act overseas.

On June 22, the 52-year-old behind Just for Fun! Family Entertainment will depart for Thailand, where she’ll train for six weeks to teach English as a language.

She doesn’t mince words when she says why she’s going.

“I couldn’t afford to live here anymore. I just couldn’t afford to live in the town I’ve made my home for 26 years,” she said in an interview Tuesday. “I’ve seen it happen all around me.

Tina Myers, I’ve seen, for years, people who aka Silly Lilly have just upped and left and went to work in another state because they needed work. I second thought, ‘How can people do that?’

Family can’t handle gabby grandmother Dear Abby: No one in my family will tell my grandmother the reason they don’t call her is she talks too much. None of us is retired like she is, and our evenings are chaotic enough without a two-hour conversation with her.

Relatives ask me to relay messages on their behalf so they won’t have to call her. She’s always crying and telling me I’m the only one who is “good to her.”

I’d feel guilty if I had to tell Grandma the truth — but I, as well as the rest of the family, have had enough of her long, guilt-inducing talks and trips down memory lane from 1940.

How can I get the point across without devastating her sensitive nature?

— Captive Audience in Florida Dear Captive Audience: The next time your grandmother tells you you’re the only one who is good to her, you need to tell her she’d have better luck with the other relatives if she limited the length of her phone calls to them.

Encourage her to find other interests so she isn’t as lonely and dependent as she appears to be. To do so isn’t cruel; you’ll be doing her a favor because what’s driving people away is her neediness.

I don’t know what your grandmother retired from, but she should have retired TO something more than her telephone.

Unless she lives in the wilderness, she should be encouraged to get out and volunteer.

DEAR ABBY Dear Abby: When I was in fourth grade, I was a bully. I remember one girl, Margaret, whose life I made particularly miserable with verbal and physical abuse. Every time I did it, I immediately felt guilty because I saw how devastated and unhappy she was. I knew her pain because I had a rotten home life.

I grew up to be a responsible citizen and loving mother, but as I approach 80, I still wish I could tell Margaret how sorry I am.

How do I resolve this?

— Former Bully in Albuquerque Dear Former Bully: Because you know Margaret’s age and place of birth, try Googling her.

If you find her, offer the apology. However, if she is deceased, you’ll have to work on forgiving yourself.

Today, many schools have programs that discourage or prevent bullying. It’s sad for you and Margaret that there was no one to reach out to who could have made things better for both of you. Had there been, it might have made both your childhoods more pleasant.

‘Glee Project’ hits the right notes

By Hank Stuever The Washington Post

Last I saw “Glee,” it had driven straight off the cliff of its own success. I heard screams as cast members plummeted, but it turns out they were just singing Lady Gaga songs in unison. What a senseless tragedy — a show about bullied underdogs became burdened with popularity until you could no longer relate to its vapidity nor stand the sight of their moony faces.

Show creator Ryan Murphy, along with his staff of choreographers, musical directors and casting experts, has apparently been mulling at least one of my concerns about “Glee” — the staleness factor.

The current “Glee” kids can’t linger at fictional McKinley High much longer; they need to graduate before, say, age 29.

Thus, “The Glee Project,” a reality-competition show premiering tonight on Oxygen, is a rather sincere attempt to acquaint fans and wannabes with a sort of audition process for new “Glee” cast members.

Forty thousand people, viewers are told, tried out for one of a dozen slots on “The Glee Project,” which promises the winner a role in a seven-episode story arc on “Glee’s” next season.

Unlike “American Idol,” “The Voice” and other manufactured chances at a hollow sort of fame, “The Glee Project” promises a somewhat sen-

“Show us who you are, not who you think we want you to be.”

— Ryan Murphy, creator of “Glee” sible shot at a temp job that might pan out into something permanent, which should resonate with today’s unemployed millennials.

The show is also refreshingly entertaining, even when it relies on familiar cliches of the singingcompetition genre.

The 12 performers assembled here, ranging in age from 18 to 22, are promptly put to work by their blunt but encouraging mentor, Robert Ulrich (“Glee’s” casting director), who has them quickly work up a group rendition of Stevie Wonder’s “Signed, Sealed, Delivered (I’m Yours).”

If nothing else, it’s clear these people have watched their share of “Glee.” Two other mentor/judges — the show’s choreographer

and musical director — then put them through the paces, asking the aspirants to imagine what sort of gleek their character ought to be. Character means everything to “Glee”; Murphy and the show’s writers emphasize the need for big, broadly rendered school archetypes around which to build new stories. “Show us who you are,” says Murphy, wearing a ridiculously floppy, Seussian knit cap. “Not who you think we want you to be.”

For some, this “inner character” is rather obvious: Matheus, a Brazilian immigrant who stands 4 feet 9 inches tall, is an Artie-like misfit, minus the wheelchair. Ellis is a cherub-faced college dropout who worries that she will always look like a 10-year-old. Damian is the awkwardly handsome exchange student from Northern Ireland who has been performing in a Celtic roadshow. There’s also a worried fat girl, a gay kid who is 99 percent diva and a shapely bimbo-in-training.

Lindsay, a ready-made Rachel, has already ascertained that she’s the best singer of the bunch.

When the gang learns that its big number will be Katy Perry’s “Firework,” she smugly tells the camera that “it’s a belty, fist-in-the-air anthem for people like me.”

As annoying as “The Glee Project” could have been, its onehour first episode is compellingly simple, effortlessly accessing what remains of “Glee’s” original appeal. It also provides some neat background about how the show’s musical numbers are hastily recorded, choreographed and filmed.

After a lot of “Firework” caterwauling and a music video shoot, three of the contestants are marked for elimination, which means they are each assigned a new song and have only two hours to practice before they must perform it for Murphy, who will send one of them home. (In a nice twist, this is done like it was in high school, with the dreaded posting of a cast list on the glee club bulletin board.)

Poor Damian, who came up short on personality, is assigned a quite popular hit from 30 years ago. “I don’t know what ‘this song’ is,” he says, listening to it with stupefied panic. “I don’t know who sings it. I don’t know how it goes.”

But he gets on stage and gives it his mangled-lyrics best: “I wish that I WAS Jessie’s girl,” he croons.

A boy wishing to be a girl? Now he’s got Murphy’s attention.

Sooke Continued from C1 In less than a decade, Sooke Harbour House became the poster child for what Canadians call West Coast cuisine, much as residents of Oregon and Washington like to brag about Pacific Northwest cuisine. Twenty-five years ago, a restaurant that served its home-grown produce, purchasing meat and seafood only from nearby farmers and fishermen, was a novelty.

As the Philips’ fame grew internationally, they gradually expanded their hotel. Today, Sooke Harbour House has 28 spacious guest rooms, all of them with fireplaces and bathtubs for two, most with a wonderful view across the strait to Washington’s Olympic Mountains.

But in this isolated location, I found more than a stunning place to sleep and eat. I found a lovely beach with a long, park-like spit separating a serene harbor from rocky, wave-washed seabird rookeries. I found dense, oldgrowth rainforests that shroud myriad hiking trails, a river famous for its swimming holes, and a zip-lining adventure. I found a quiet highway that runs past small wineries and farms, one of them producing the ancient beverage mead with its own bees.

And I learned about the oldest independent settlement in British Columbia, a town of about 10,000 with a proud history of native villages and English homesteads. Named for the indigenous T’Sou-ke tribe of First Nations

The colorful mosaic of a mermaid greets guests at the entrance to Sooke Harbour House.

The 28-room bed-andbreakfast hotel is the highestprofile inn among dozens in Sooke, a small town that relies on tourism for much of its economic support.

people (the preferred term for native Canadians), Sooke has a burgeoning arts-and-crafts community and a bustling economy tied, in part, to such recreational pursuits as fishing, whale watching, kayaking and bicycling.

Harbour House I was greeted at Sooke Har-

bour House by Sinclair Philip himself. A mild-mannered and erudite man, whom I always saw clad in an open-collared shirt with a long waistcoat, Philip took my dinner reservation for the following evening and showed me to my upstairs room.

Flooded with natural light that streamed in from the south in the early evening hours, the room was everything I could have imagined. The large oval tub sat on a hardwood floor, two steps above a sunken sitting area with a river-rock fireplace.

A substantial deck, with a view across the water, extended just beyond. A rustic yet contemporary flavor was emphasized by the bed’s headboard, designed by a Sooke-area artisan, which incorporated a barren tree looming above it.

The following day I visited the hotel’s lush gardens, certified organic since 1980. “Some part of every plant in the garden is edible,” said head gardener Byron Cook, a 24-year employee of Sooke Harbour House. “Even the flowers, like nasturtiums and geraniums, we use in the kitchen. And begonia juice makes great salad dressing.”

The acreage was originally planted in 1925 by Czech immigrant Anthony Kohout, who four years later built the two-story farmhouse that became Sooke Harbour House, according to the inn’s website. When the Philips — who previously had farmed in France — took over the property, they immediately saw the opportunity to display their philosophy of sustainable agriculture in their own restaurant kitchen.

“We want to bring peoples’ awareness back to the land and the food they eat,” Frederique Philip told me. “Part of our goal is to bring that understanding back, and inspire others to plant and grow, even if it’s one container at a time.”

To that end, Sooke Harbour Farm offers tours and community workshops, which hotel guests are welcome to attend.

They have a chance to chat, as I did, with a crew of international volunteers from the World Wide Opportunities on Organic Farms program.

Dinner at Sooke Harbour House was a rare experience.

By creating a new menu each day, based upon what is fresh and available, Sooke Harbour chefs have an exceptional opportunity to express their culinary creativity.

My four-course meal was no exception. From the house salad of freshly picked greens and blossoms, tossed with a cranberry vinaigrette; to the dessert of three sorbets infused with blackberry mint, apricot sage and plum-lemon verbena, it was exquisite. The appetizer course of wild-mushroom strudel, served with herb gnocchi and a walnut pesto, was memorable, as was the entrée of roasted pork loin with an apricot-and-thyme bread pudding, baby beets and acorn squash.

the spit features a dog-friendly promenade — and there were plenty of four-legged friends, on-leash and off, sharing my morning walk — that cuts a swath through beachgrass. Sunbleached driftwood provides fuel for campfires, shelter from wind and a romantic retreat for young lovers. Here and there, an old wooden boat is pulled up onto the gravelly shore.

In the calmer inland waters are moored a variety of small vessels, from sailboats and fishing charters to at least one “boatand-breakfast” inn. To the south, seemingly adrift in blue on calm, sunny days, jagged rocks stained white with bird droppings are home to hundreds, perhaps thou-

sands, of gulls. The silhouette of Washington’s Olympic Range is well defined on the horizon, 20 miles distant.

Prior to white settlement, Sinclair Philip told me, this was a migratory camping ground for the native T’Sou-ke, who fished in the protected waters and gathered roots and vegetables to support their diet in winter. A Spanish galleon made a stop in 1790, but no Europeans settled here until 1849, when the British first came ashore. Soon thereafter, Vancouver Island’s first sheriff, Andrew Muir, bought an 89-acre lot that included the area where Sooke Harbour House now stands.

Spit and polish Before breakfast on the morning after my arrival, I strolled from the hotel to nearby Whiffen Spit Beach.

The beach is named after a long spit that extends for a full kilometer (more than half a mile) to the east, effectively dividing Sooke’s inner harbor from the open sea — or, at least, from the broad Strait of Juan de Fuca that separates Vancouver Island from the mainland United States.

Had I not learned this from Philip, I might have gleaned the information during a visit to the Sooke Region Museum, a few blocks away in the heart of Sooke township. This small museum’s polished galleries contain a wide range of First Nations artifacts, pioneer quilts, and equipment from the early logging, mining and fishing industries. A highlight is a blacksmith shop, where volunteers periodically demonstrate their craft to visitors.

Air and water adventures After breakfast at Sooke Harbour House, I set out for a little excitement. In the dense conifer rainforest just east of Sooke, AdrenaLine Adventure Tours sent me sailing from Douglas fir to Douglas fir, as many as 15 stories above the forest floor.

The principal of zip-lining has been around for centuries, but it has only been in recent decades that the idea of clicking a rockclimbing carabineer to a belay line, for exploring forest canopies, began to be perceived as a sport as well as a research tool.

AdrenaLine employs eight separate zip lines, anywhere from 150 feet to 1,000 feet long, in its 100acre forest parcel.

I was paired with seven other visitors, ranging in age from teens to 60s. Fitted for helmets and clipped into staunch harnesses by guides, we were given a brief lecture on what to expect before beginning the two-hour tour. All-terrain vehicles drove us up a muddy and primitive road to the top tower, where we climbed stairs to a platform on a hardy fir.

One by one, our group surrendered to the inevitable, that being the will of the persuasive guides. A simple pulley on a cable, mounted on a slight incline, enabled us to descend from tree to tree at speeds of up to 35 miles per hour. The most difficult moment, especially for a person who suffers from a fear of heights, is letting go the first time. That, and crossing a pair of swaying suspension bridges at a couple of spots in the forest.

After a shepherd’s pie lunch at the charming, English-style 17 Mile Pub, located next door to the zip-line operation, I drove

a short distance to Sooke Potholes Provincial Park to cool off.

I wasn’t alone.

Throngs of children and their parents were swimming in a series of deep rock pools carved by glaciers into the bedrock of the Sooke River 15,000 years ago.

The river’s water was clean and clear, and many of the youngsters were sliding down natural rock slides into its cool pools.

Honey wine Beyond Sooke, Provincial Highway 14 runs another 43 miles northwest to Port Renfrew, a rainy lumber-and-fishing town and the southern terminus of Canada’s famous West Coast Trail. This arduous, 47-mile route, which takes most backpackers a week to complete to remote Bamfield, is now a part of Pacific Rim National Park. It was not built as a recreational trail: It was constructed in 1907 to save sailors shipwrecked along the perilous Vancouver Island coast.

I didn’t travel that far. My excursion ended just six miles outside of Sooke at the Tugwell Creek Honey Farm and Meadery.

Owner Bob Liptrot said he had begun keeping bees as a teenager — and that was 43 years ago.

About 25 years ago, he said, he began fermenting honey to create the sweet wine known as mead.

In 2003, Tugwell Creek was licensed as British Columbia’s first “meadery.”

“Mead is almost certainly the oldest alcoholic beverage known to man,” Liptrot said. “As long as there have been bees and honey,

tasting room, many of them incorporating the flavors of berries, herbs and flowers.

The fastest way to get to Sooke is by ferry from Port Angeles, Wash., an eight-hour drive north from Bend. The Black Ball Ferry Line runs four ferries a day, each direction, between Port Angeles and Victoria, B.C.; the crossing takes 90 minutes. (After Sept. 25, the company reverts to a twice-aday winter schedule.)

I recommend leaving Central Oregon early and reserving a berth on the 5:15 p.m. ferry. To arrive in time to board at 4:30, you’ll want to leave Bend around breakfast time.

If you return to Port Angeles on the 10:30 a.m. ferry from Victoria, you’ll get to Port Angeles at noon, with just enough time to get back to Central Oregon before dark.

Being all thumbs can lead to trouble with texting

SUDOKU Complete the grid so that every row, column and 3x3 box contains every digit from 1 to 9 inclusively.

By Kate Shellnutt Houston Chronicle

Blame big fingers, tired eyes or other distractions, but odds are you’ve sent a text or tweet to someone accidentally.

It probably wasn’t a photo of your crotch, such as U.S. Rep. Anthony Weiner mistakenly tweeted. And it probably wasn’t a text cussing at a fashion icon, as Lady Gaga sent to Vogue editor Anna Wintour, thinking she was responding to another Anna.

Still, it happens to all of us, from text-addicted teenagers to businessmen on BlackBerry Messenger.

About 40 percent of texters admit they’ve accidently sent a text to the wrong person, and 10 percent say they do it once a month, according to research by the makers of TextPlus, a smartphone app.

Accidentally replying to an incoming message or clicking the wrong person on your contact list are common errors.

“I was trying to hit on a girl named Kelly via text one time.

My boss’ name is Kelly, and I almost sent it to her. I changed her name to ‘boss’ after that,” said Eric Swenson, a 21-year-old student — via text, of course.

Swenson hasn’t always caught his mistakes, though, and has been left staring at his phone screen at a disparaging message he fired away to the wrong recipient.

“If you recognize it right away, say, ‘Sorry, wrong person,’” said Drew Olanoff, the “textpert” and community director for TextPlus.

“You don’t want them wondering, ‘Was this for me?’ They’ll understand. It happens to everybody.”

Weiner’s highly publicized case, Olanoff said, provided a few examples of what not to do when you make a mistake: lie about it (“I didn’t send it!”) or blame technology (“I was hacked!”).

Though the subject matter of Weiner’s messages was clearly inappropriate, even innocent texts can be problematic when they end up in your co-worker’s or your grandmother’s inbox.

Humor sites have made such texts an Internet meme, posting

Thinkstock

If you realize right away you’ve sent a text to the wrong person, send a message that says “Sorry, wrong person,” says Drew Olanoff, the “textpert” and community director for TextPlus.

Text tips F ive “textpert” tips for avoiding embarrassing mistakes: Know the technology: Whether it’s e-mail, text messaging, Twitter or another form of communication, be familiar with the basics of how it functions before rushing through messages.

Double check: The easiest way to make sure a text doesn’t go to the wrong person is to check the recipient’s name before you send it.

Don’t list contacts on a firstname-only basis: Write a last name, business or other clues so you know exactly whom you are talking to.

Be judicious with what you text: This one’s for you, Weiners of the world. “If you’re living a lifestyle like that, technology is going to be your worst enemy,” Drew Olanoff of TextPlus said.

Don’t drunk text: No surprise here. Alcohol may be to blame for a number of accidental texting incidents.

thousands of screenshots people have submitted of their uncomfortable exchanges from texting mistakes.

“If everyone just took a moment to re-read what they typed before

they hit send, every one of the mistakes on DamnYouAutocorrect .com and WrongNumberTexts .com could be avoided,” said Jillian Madison, who runs the sites and wrote a book with the funniest submissions. “Of course, it’s easier said than done. Today, we’re all moving fast, talking fast and communicating fast. The downside to that is it leads to mistakes, often with dire consequences.”

Embarrassment isn’t the only result from such mistakes, which have prompted breakups, firings and even arrests. This week, a man from Porter, Texas, mistakenly sent a text message allegedly arranging a drug deal to an officer at a Montgomery County constable’s office.

Americans’ rate of texting is booming, with younger texters sending more messages than ever. According to a recent Nielson Mobile report, teens sent an average of 3,364 a month at the start of 2011. The 18-24 age group sent 1,640 a month.

More texting means more opportunities for mistakes, so Olanoff predicts tech companies will begin to create more safety features for users, such as a “Are you sure you want to send this text?” message or even an option to retract misfired messages.

“There will be more things to ‘save us from ourselves,’” Olanoff said.

H

By Jacqueline Bigar HAPPY BIRTHDAY for Sunday, June 12, 2011: This year, you might be more open to taking on projects or helping others. You have a lot on your plate. Your career or community commitments alone could be overwhelming. If you are single, you will meet someone in your daily travels. If you are attached, take up a new hobby together in order to bond more closely. SCORPIO challenges you on a nearly daily basis.

The Stars Show the Kind of Day You’ll Have: 5-Dynamic; 4-Positive; 3-Average; 2So-so; 1-Difficult ARIES (March 21-April 19) HHHH The unexpected could occur within a partnership. See what is driving this interaction.

Avoid idealism. In the long run, it could be more effective to toss away your rose-colored shades. Tonight: Catch up on a neighbor’s news.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) HHHHH Make it your pleasure to be with family and loved ones. Don’t question; observe.

You’ll gain insights out of the blue. Your creativity comes up in a discussion with family.

Know that anything is possible.

Tonight: Just don’t be alone.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) HHH You gain a great deal of pleasure from completing a project. Deal with a difficult emotional situation. Of course, this might not be the best course of action, depending on who

is involved. Be smart and stay open to having a discussion.

Tonight: Think “tomorrow.”

CANCER (June 21-July 22) HHHH You might gain understanding by imagining a loved one’s position and life. When you do, the rapport between you increases. Have that inevitable discussion.

A parent or boss could be tough on you. Tonight: Let the good times rock and roll.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) HHHH Listen and see what is going on with a child or loved one. Help root out the real issue.

Don’t personalize so much when you hear negatives. A discussion evolves into a brainstorming session. Tonight: Happy at home.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) HHHH You might be uncomfortable with a discussion.

This news could involve a partnership and/or a money matter. You and a key loved one look at life far differently — you could be stunned by how differently. Tonight: Make dinner a social occasion.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) HHH Think of the costs of proceeding as you wish. You might feel overwhelmed. A loved one might be acting in an unusual manner. You might wonder what is appropriate to do here. Remain authentic. Tonight: Treat time.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) HHHH Act rather than wait.

Others like hearing from you. If someone or an issue disrupts your plans, make a

detour. Communication soars.

If you are single, someone you meet today could be most interesting. Tonight: You like what is happening.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) HH Ask yourself how you feel before you get started. Take care of yourself. If you keep pushing as you have, you can expect to fizzle out and not have enough energy when you need it. Tonight: Play it low-key.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) HHHH Friends coax and manipulate to have you join them! The activity might not be as important as the company.

Be open to trying something new. Observe whether your intuition is right. Tonight: Where you want to be.

A green approach to death

By Rachel Saslow The Washington Post

Live eco-conscious, die ecoconscious. People who drive hybrid cars, recycle, compost and eat vegetarian are showing increased interest in leaving this world in an equally Earth-friendly way: a green burial.

“Baby boomers who define themselves as environmentalists don’t want to go out with a final act of pollution,” says Joe Sehee, executive director of the Green Burial Council, headquartered in Santa Fe, N.M. “A lot of people find solace in returning to the earth naturally.”

A range of burial options are considered green. People can forgo embalming or request nontoxic embalming fluid; buy a biodegradable container made from sustainable willow, wicker or bamboo, or even order up a simple shroud. The burial can take place on “natural burial grounds” where people are buried without markers on protected wildlife preserves. There’s even a company that incorporates cremated remains into a “reef ball” that provides habitat for fish.

Carol Fox of Mount Airy, Md., chose a green burial at sea for her son, Jamie, who died at age 21 in 2002.

Jamie was studying environmental/marine science and philosophy at Salisbury University on Maryland’s Eastern Shore when he drowned while boogie boarding in the ocean. Fox says he loved scuba diving and was the type of person who always picked up trash while walking on the beach. She was searching online for a dolphin-themed urn for her son’s cremated remains when she stumbled upon the website of the Decatur, Ga.-based Eternal Reefs.

“I thought, ‘Oh my gosh, this is just what Jamie would have wanted,’ “ she says.

In 2004, Fox says, Jamie became the first person buried in a reef ball in Maryland, in the waters off Ocean City, “where he lived and loved.”

To make a reef ball, cremated remains are mixed with concrete and shaped into a basketballsize “pearl” that weighs about 60 pounds. The pearl is affixed to a beehive-shaped concrete reef that weighs 650 to 4,000 pounds.

Memorial reefs, which cost from $3,995 to $6,995, can accommodate up to four members of a family; there is also a community-reef option, with pearls from multiple families, that cost $2,995 per person. Eternal Reefs has installed about 60 reef balls in the Chesapeake Bay, including seven that were placed there in a ceremony in April, according to George Frankel, the chief executive of Eternal Reefs.

Fox plans to scuba-dive to her son’s grave in July, when he would have turned 30. She hopes that it’s teeming with fish and plant life.

“This is giving back and helping rebuild the reef,” Fox says. “It’s something you can see.”

Eighty percent of people interested in green burials were originally planning a cremation, according to the Green Burial Council’s Sehee. Cremation re-

The remains of Jamie Fox, a college student who drowned in a boogie boarding accident, were mixed with concrete to form a reef that was placed in the ocean, where it has become part of the marine ecosystem. leases pollutants into the air such as nitrous oxide and mercury from dental fillings, though the threat from these toxins has been “a little exaggerated,” he says.

Crematories are not regulated by the Environmental Protection Agency.

Nearly 40 percent of deceased people in the United States are cremated. The popularity of the practice varies greatly from state to state, from 74 percent of those who die in Nevada to 12 percent in Mississippi, according to the Cremation Association of North America.

A lighter impact Environmental concerns about traditional burials include the use of water, pesticides and pollutionproducing lawn mowers at cemeteries. Also, extended exposure to the formaldehyde in embalming fluids raises a mortician’s risk for dying of myeloid leukemia, according to a 2009 study in the Journal of the National Cancer Institute.

Plus, there’s the idea of taking up a plot of land for eternity, land that the deceased aren’t exactly enriching. Sehee has calculated that Americans bury about 1 million tons of steel in caskets every year — enough to build another Golden Gate Bridge. And the amount of concrete used to make the vaults commonly built to house the caskets could build a two-lane highway from New York to Detroit, he says. Caskets are sometimes manufactured abroad and need to be shipped here, increasing a person’s posthumous carbon footprint.

The average American burial cost $6,560 in 2009, according to the National Funeral Directors Association; burials are a rare product where consumers may save some money by opting for a green option. A green burial can cost about half what a traditional one does because families don’t have to pay for embalming and body preparation, a headstone or an expensive casket.

Green burials are most popular on the West Coast and least popular in the South, Sehee said.

“A lot of traditional funeral practices provide a way for the body to be protected from the elements rather than become a part of nature. Green burials flip that around,” Sehee said.

Myers Continued from C1 “As an adult, I’ve always chosen where I want to live, and then I’ve made or found work. But now the bottom line is, I can’t afford to live here.

I’ve had to sell my house. I’ve been involved in this community for 25 years … but when it all came down to being able to support myself, and the fact that I couldn’t, that made the decision really easy. And I think now I understand how people make that decision.”

Even before losing her fiveyear position at a physical therapist’s office last year, Myers had been looking into a Portland move and enrollment into a medical training program there. Meanwhile, her only child, daughter Molly Myers, 23, had decided to go teach English in Peru.

“I said, ‘That’d be great.

And by the way, I could do that. I could do that, too,’” Myers recalled.

“It was going to be my Plan B if I didn’t get into this school,” she said. “By the time it was time for me to hear from the school, I wanted them to say ‘no,’ because I wanted to go to Thailand.”

She breaks into song, a la her singing telegram sideline, when she says, “They said ‘no’! Excellent!”

Plan B became Plan A. She’s now heading to Thailand through the TEFL Institute, “TEFL” standing for Teach English as a Foreign Language.

“I’ve lived my last two years, especially, on this edge of ‘What’s going to happen? What’s going to happen?

What if, what if, what if?’ I am so darned comfortable with that now, that man, I can do it anywhere in the world,” Myers said, laughing.

The hard thing about leaving is saying goodbye to regular clients and kids.

“That was the hardest part for me … to know that I won’t be seeing these same kids year after year, or being able to help somebody celebrate some unusual things,” she said. “I’ve seen a ton of kids grow up.”

Tina Myers, in character as Silly Lilly, creates animals and toys out of balloons in this 2007 photo. Myers has lived in Bend for 26 years, performing as a clown and delivering singing telegrams as other characters since 1999.

“I was really wondering how I would be able to stop being Silly Lilly, for example, or the singing telegram (characters), because that’s such a huge part of how I am connected to Central Oregon.

I can walk around downtown and point out to you, ‘Oh, I’ve done a singing telegram there.’”

Myers said she’s not sure whether there are other clowns waiting in the wings to fill her big shoes in Bend, but she’s fairly positive there is no one else who delivers singing telegrams.

She’s been busy looking ahead, not staying abreast of the local competition, doing her online homework on Thailand, and learning about its balloon artists, magicians and face painters.

“I’ve decided that Silly Lilly has to come to Thailand. So she’s coming to Thailand,” Myers said.

A friend made her a new Silly Lilly hat, an aqua blue and green affair that’s far lighter than the black wool hat that’s a staple of her Silly Lilly wardrobe.

“I can’t take my big, hot wool

hat, because it’s hot and humid there,” Myers said. She added that there’s a possibility that once her daughter is done in Peru, she’ll join her in Thailand.

“I figure I will be there — notice I’m not saying ‘gone’ — for probably a year and a half,” Myers said. “Then I figure I’ll want to go to another country, or maybe I’ll want to come back here.”

Meanwhile, “I’m ready to have another adventure. Ready to have another career. And hopefully, it will still involve Silly Lilly on the side.”

As for the kids and other clients she’s saying goodbye to locally, Myers said that “I will definitely miss them. I will absolutely treasure all of their smiles and hugs and laughter.”

Silly Lilly’s advice to those kids?

“Have fun every day, and be nice to each other.”

Duck women finish second at NCAA championship meet

A lot of game left

DES MOINES, Iowa – In the end, the University of Oregon women could not match the speed of Texas A&M at the NCAA outdoor track and field championships Saturday at Drake Stadium.

Texas A&M senior Jessica Beard ran a 49.14-second anchor leg to give the Aggies the victory in the 4x400-meter relay and clinch their third straight women’s title with 49 points. The Ducks finished third in the race to place second for the third year in a row with 45 points.

Oregon just missed its first outdoor team title in 26 years.

In the women’s 1,500 meters, UO sophomore Becca Friday placed fifth in 4 minutes, 16.76 seconds, and Jordan Hasay struggled to eighth in 4:17.67.

Texas A&M also won the men’s team title with 55 points, becoming the first school to post dual three-peat champions. Florida State placed second with 54 points.

The Oregon men finished tied for 10th with 25 points, making it three straight top-10 finishes at the NCAA championships.

Oregon junior Matthew Centrowitz won the NCAA men’s title in the 1,500 with a time of 3:42.54.

Villanova’s Sheila Reid became the first woman to win the 1,500 and 5,000 at the same NCAA meet, using a late burst to take Saturday’s 1,500 in 4:14.57.

Bend’s Joe Jezukewicz shoots his age three times, and has plenty in the tank

J

Pete Erickson / The Bulletin

Joe Jezukewicz, 73, shot his age. But for Jezukewicz, it marked the third time the former college golfer has done it in less than a year.

oe Jezukewicz likes to keep things on the golf course informal.

Sure the Bend resident is competitive. But you won’t see the friendly, mild-mannered Jezukewicz toiling in the larger regional golf tournaments. And you won’t be able to talk him into a large wager on the course, either.

That is probably a good thing for would-be opponents. Because Jezukewicz is also a heck of a golfer, who at 73 years old has shot his age three times in the past year.

With that kind of game at an age where golfers usually are nowhere near that good, why not take an unsuspecting golfer for a little extra cash?

ZACK HALL It is just not in the Wisconsin native’s nature.

“I try to do my best every time,” says Jezukewicz, who is tan and fit and looks like a man at least a decade younger. “But I enjoy the camaraderie. That’s the main reason I go out and play golf.”

Jezukewicz, who moved to Bend in 2004 with his wife, Leslie, gets that camaraderie with a group of more than a dozen sen-

SISTERS RODEO

ior golfers at Widgi Creek Golf Club in Bend.

And Jezukewicz has put on quite a show for the group, shooting 72 twice at Widgi Creek last summer, both rounds coming after hip-replacement surgery.

And after turning 73 in March, Jezukewicz celebrated his birthday in April by shooting a 73.

The first 72 came in July 2010, and it almost did not happen at all.

Jezukewicz was 1 under par through 17 holes after a birdie on No. 17, he recalls. He went for the green on Widgi’s reachable par-4 18th hole, but he landed short in a greenside bunker.

With tension mounting, Jezukewicz could not escape the sand on his third shot, forcing him to get up and down for a bogey to card an even-par 72.

Beavers’ season comes to a close

Elks shut out by Knights, 7-0

The Associated Press

Starting pitcher Chris Johnson scattered five hits and struck out four batters in five innings to lead the Corvallis Knights to a 7-0 shutout of the Bend Elks Saturday night in a West Coast League baseball game at Bend’s Vince Genna Stadium.

The Elks, who fell to 2-3, left seven runners on base.

Elks starting pitcher Jason Wilson gave up seven hits and four runs in the first three innings. Three Bend pitchers combined to give up 14 hits.

Designated hitter Bo Walter was three for four at the plate to lead the Elks, and left fielder Shawn O’Brien was two for four.

Right fielder Matt Nylen led Corvallis at the plate, finishing two for four with three RBIs. His two-run single in the fifth inning gave the Knights the 7-0 lead.

After drawing 1,874 fans for their home opener on Friday night, the Elks drew 1,423 fans on Saturday.

Rocking Rodeo The 71st edition of the Sisters Rodeo kicked off this weekend, including two shows at the Sisters Rodeo Grounds in Sisters on Saturday. Above, bull rider Nick McCormack, of Issaquah, Wash., gets thrown during the afternoon performance. McCormack did not place in the event. Left, Mike Beers, of Powell Butte, heels a calf roped by his partner Bobby Mote, of Culver, for a Team Roping time of 5.6 seconds, good enough for second place in the team roping aggregate.

NASHVILLE, Tenn. — In Game 1 of the NCAA Super Regional between Oregon State and Vanderbilt, the Beavers stayed away from Commodores slugger Aaron Westlake.

A day later, Oregon State decided to pitch to Westlake — and he made the Beavers pay.

Westlake hit three two-run home runs to lead Vanderbilt to a 9-3 victory over Oregon State on Saturday that put the Commodores in the College World Series for the first time.

The first baseman, drafted in the third round by the Tigers, became the first Commodores player to hit three home runs in a game in 20 years and Vanderbilt (52-10) swept the best-of-three series.

All three homers were off lefthanders — one against starter Ben Wetzler and two off Matt Boyd.

“Maybe they figured they would have a chance against me, left-onleft,” said Westlake, who has 17 homers on the season. “They were good pitches. I just got a couple good pitches to hit. With guys on base, it makes it tougher to throw the pitches you want to throw.

Maybe you make a mistake and I was able to capitalize on them.”

Ruler on Ice rules the slop in taking Belmont Stakes

By Richard Rosenblatt The Associated Press

NEW YORK — Kentucky Derby winner Animal Kingdom nearly fell at the start. Preakness winner Shackleford faded in the stretch. The Belmont Stakes was up for grabs.

And it was 24-1 long shot Ruler on Ice who delivered a huge upset Saturday in the final leg of the Triple Crown, splashing his way to a threequarter-length victory over Stay Thirsty.

As expected, Shackleford led from the start but when the field of 12 turned for home in the 1½mile Belmont, he tired in the muck as long shots Ruler On Ice and Stay Thirsty passed him by.

“Ruler wasn’t slowing down,” winning jockey Jose Valdivia Jr. said. “It was a great feeling the last sixteenth of a mile.”

The much-hyped rubber match between Shackleford and Animal Kingdom never developed on a rainy day at Belmont Park. Shackl-

HORSE RACING eford finished fifth, while Animal Kingdom had a frightful start, never moved into contention and finished sixth.

Jockey John Velazquez nearly fell off when Animal Kingdom collided with Monzon just after the start. He somehow managed to get his left foot back into the stirrup, but by then it was too late. Animal Kingdom had dropped more than 13 lengths off the lead, and did well to finish in the middle of the pack.

“The horse almost fell down,” said Graham Motion, Animal Kingdom’s trainer. “Johnny couldn’t believe the horse stayed up. He lost his iron. It took him until halfway around the turn to get his foot back in the iron. It’s disappointing not to give the horse a chance to run his race.”

S B Cycling • Rodriguez wins sixth stage Dauphine; Wiggins leads: Joaquim Rodriguez Oliver of Spain won the sixth stage of the Criterium du Dauphine in France by breaking away on a final ascent Saturday, while Bradley Wiggins of Britain retained the overall lead. Rodriguez finished the 120-mile ride from Les Gets to Le Collet d’Allevard in 5 hours, 12 minutes, 47 seconds. It was the Katusha rider’s second stage win this year after taking the first stage of the Tour of Basque Country in April. Robert Gesink of the Netherlands was second, 31 seconds back, and Jurgen Van Den Broeck of Belgium was third, 39 seconds behind. The race ends today.

Auto racing • Defending champion crashes out at Le Mans: Audi’s chances of defending its title at the 24 Hours of Le Mans rest on one car after two crashed out Saturday in Le Mans, France. Benoit Treluyer’s Audi No. 2 completed 152 laps to lead after 11 hours, one lap ahead of three Peugeots. Defending champion Mike Rockenfeller was in second place in the eighth hour when he tried to pass the slower Ferrari No. 71 driven by Robert Kauffman. Rockenfeller’s Audi No. 1 was slightly hit by the Ferrari, slid off the track in darkness and smashed into a guardrail, forcing the deployment of the safety car for the second time in the race. The German driver was able to get out of the cockpit on his own before the wrecked car caught fire. He was taken to a hospital.

Tennis • Murray vs Tsonga in Queen’s grasscourt final: Andy Murray of Britain overwhelmed Andy Roddick 6-3, 6-1 Saturday to reach the final at Queen’s Club in London. He’ll play Jo-Wilfried Tsonga in today’s final. The Frenchman ended unseeded Briton James Ward’s run with a 6-3, 7-6 (7) victory in the other semifinal. Murray, who won the title in 2009, produced a fine all-round display against an errorprone Roddick to win their semifinal in just 59 minutes. He had 13 aces and ensured Roddick failed in his attempt to become the first player to win five titles at the pre-Wimbledon tournament.

Track and field • Mullings beats Gay in 100 at Adidas Grand Prix: Steve Mullings held off training partner Tyson Gay to win the 100 meters at the Adidas Grand Prix in New York on Saturday.

After three false starts trimmed the field from nine to six, Jamaica’s Mullings won in 10.26 seconds into a stiff wind in a photo finish at New York City’s Diamond League meet.

Gay was slow out of the blocks but nearly ran down Mullings. The American also posted a time of 10.26 on a chilly, rainy day on Randall’s Island, east of upper Manhattan.

Earlier, three-time world champion Allyson Felix won the 200 meters in 22.92 seconds.

Football • NCAA begins hearing on Tennessee infractions case: Former Tennessee coaches Bruce Pearl and Lane Kiffin finally got to explain themselves in front of the NCAA. All they can do now is wait to see if it did good. Kiffin spent more than four hours answering questions in front of the infractions committee Saturday, then was followed by Pearl, who spent nearly five hours in front of the committee.

School officials are hoping the daylong closed-door hearing marks the beginning of the end of a 22-month investigation that rocked the Volunteers’ football and men’s basketball programs and tarnished Tennessee’s reputation. The committee is expected to make a ruling within eight to 12 weeks.

That’s when the Volunteers’ will learn their punishment.

American League roundup

National League roundup

• Red Sox 16, Blue Jays 4: TORONTO — John Lackey made up for a terrible first start in Toronto this season, No. 9 hitter Jason Varitek homered and drove in four runs and Boston routed Toronto.

Lackey (4-5) delivered six strong innings in his second start since going on the disabled list after giving up nine runs in 6 2⁄3 innings against the Blue Jays on May 11.

• Yankees 4, Indians 0: NEW YORK — Alex Rodriguez was hit by a pitch after he homered, Bartolo Colon tossed two-hit ball into the seventh inning before getting hurt and the New York Yankees beat Cleveland. Curtis Granderson hit his 20th homer to tie for the major league lead and Rodriguez got plunked by Indians starter Mitch Talbot a day after the benches cleared, adding another chapter to what has been a testy homestand for the Yankees.

• Twins 8, Rangers 1: MINNEAPOLIS — Scott Baker pitched a five-hitter for his fourth career complete game and Alexi Casilla had three hits and scored two runs, leading Minnesota over Texas.

Delmon Young had three hits and two RBIs for the Twins, who have won eight of 11.

• Tigers 8, Mariners 1: DETROIT — Max Scherzer found his form after three rocky starts, Austin Jackson tripled twice and Detroit beat Seattle to move within one percentage point of first-place Cleveland in the AL Central after being as many as eight games behind in early May. • Rays 7, Orioles 5: BALTIMORE — Ben Zobrist got four extra-base hits and scored four runs, including the tiebreaker in the 11th inning on a single by Tampa Bay’s Evan Longoria. Longoria had three RBIs and Casey Kotchman went four for six with two RBIs for the Rays.

• White Sox 3, Athletics 2: CHICAGO — Brent Lillibridge helped make John Danks a winner with a homer-saving catch in the eighth inning, and the Chicago White Sox beat Oakland. Lillibridge robbed Oakland’s Coco Crisp with a leaping catch above the wall.

• Angels 7, Royals 5: ANAHEIM, Calif. — Erick Aybar opened the scoring with a three-run triple, Bobby Abreu came home with the go-ahead run on reliever Aaron Crow’s second wild pitch of the seventh inning, and the Los Angeles Angels snapped a season-worst six-game losing streak with a victory over Kansas City.

• Phillies 7, Cubs 1: PHILADELPHIA — Chase Utley homered and drove in four runs to back Cliff Lee’s eight strong innings and lead Philadelphia to a win over the Chicago Cubs. Lee (6-5) passed teammate Roy Halladay for the league lead in strikeouts, recording seven to up his season total to 107.

• Reds 10, Giants 2: SAN FRANCISCO — Mike Leake pitched eight scoreless innings and also got two hits off Tim Lincecum as Cincinnati gave the San Francisco ace one of his worst beatings ever.

• Brewers 5, Cardinals 3: MILWAUKEE — Rickie Weeks hit a go-ahead, two-run homer and Zack Greinke outpitched fellow Cy Young Award winner Chris Carpenter to lift Milwaukee over St. Louis.

• Dodgers 11, Rockies 7: DENVER — Pinchhitter Casey Blake broke a tie with a three-run double in the sixth, Ted Lilly pitched five effective innings and the Los Angeles Dodgers snapped a three-game skid. Aaron Miles and Jamey Carroll each had four hits as the Dodgers banged out a season-high 18.

• Pirates 3, Mets 2: PITTSBURGH — James McDonald allowed two runs in six innings, Andrew McCutchen hit a two-run double and Pittsburgh beat the New York Mets. Garrett Jones had an RBI double off knuckleballer R.A. Dickey (3-7), who tossed a complete game for the Mets.

• Braves 6, Astros 3: HOUSTON — Brian McCann hit a three-run homer in the 10th inning, lifting Atlanta over Houston for its fifth straight victory. The Astros have lost seven of eight.

• Diamondbacks 9, Marlins 5: MIAMI — Kelly Johnson’s three-run double highlighted a six-run fourth inning and Arizona sent Florida to its ninth loss in 10 games. Ryan Roberts and Stephen Drew each hit a solo homer in support of Ian Kennedy (7-2), who gave up five runs and eight hits in eight innings.

• Nationals 2, Padres 1: SAN DIEGO — John Lannan pitched effectively into the seventh inning and Washington beat San Diego to win consecutive road games for the first time in a month. Lannan (45) allowed highly touted rookie Anthony Rizzo’s first major league homer and escaped a bases-loaded jam in the sixth. The left-hander gave up six hits.

Mariners’ draft pick impresses

Timbers fall to Rapids, suffer first home losing skid

By Larry Stone The Seattle Times

I

’ll tease you with this little morsel of Danny Hultzen approbation from the University of Virginia’s pitching coach, Karl Kuhn: “He’s got a Greg Maddux demeanor with a Randy Johnson arm,” Kuhn said, and trust me, he was just warming up.

Personally, I’d be satisfied with a pitcher who had a Randy Johnson demeanor and a Greg Maddux arm, but you get the point: The folks at Virginia think very, very highly of Hultzen, the Mariners’ first-round pick — No. 2 overall — in the MLB draft on Monday.

Their affection is not limited to his exploits on the mound, which have become legendary in Charlottesville. The phrase you’ll hear over and over from folks who know him is that as good a pitcher as he is, Hultzen is a better person.

Kuhn, in fact, sent a text to Mariners scouting director Tom McNamara with those very words moments after the M’s threw the pre-draft speculation on its ear by selecting Hultzen over Rice third baseman Anthony Rendon.

Just mentioning Hultzen’s name is enough to get Kuhn started on a nonstop rhapsody of the left-hander’s virtues.

“He’s as humble as the day is long,” said Kuhn, taking a break from the Cavaliers’ preparation for the NCAA Super Regionals to do a phone interview the day after the draft. “There’s not a malicious bone in his body. Danny’s an unbelievable representative of the baseball program and university. He’s a complete and utter reflection of his parents. They did an unbelievable job raising him.”

Those Mariners fans who are irked the club didn’t take a hitter — if not Rendon, then Bubba Starling or Francisco Lindor — should have the opportunity to talk for 10 minutes to Kuhn, or perhaps Mike Moriarty, the Mariners’ area scout assigned to Virginia. You won’t know whether to root for Hultzen or adopt him.

Moriarty, who played briefly in the major leagues for the Orioles, distinctly remembers a May 13 game against Miami in which Hultzen was rocked for five runs in the first inning.

“It was good for me to see how

Virginia’s Danny Hultzen throws a pitch against UC Irvine during Game 1 of the NCAA college baseball Super Regional, Saturday in Charlottesville, Va. he would react,” he said.

Hultzen reacted by giving up just two hits over his final six innings, striking out nine and holding the Hurricanes scoreless the rest of the way. He lost the game, but won over Moriarty even more.

“He was the same competitor — he came out competing every inning and put up six doughnuts in a row,” Moriarty said. “He’s consistent, and that’s what it takes to be a good big-leaguer.”

Moriarty said that during his playing career, he came to realize that consistency, more than anything, is what separated successful major-league players from those of similar ability who never made it.

“Danny has that,” he said. “He has the work ethic, determination and desire you need along with the ability. ... He’s the same person whether he’s winning or losing, and he hasn’t lost all that much.”

The Mariners’ choice received some post-draft criticism from analysts who think that Hultzen’s potential isn’t as great as some other pitchers available, most notably UCLA’s Trevor Bauer or Oklahoma high schooler Dylan Bundy. They have no doubt Hultzen will make it to the majors, probably more quickly than any

other pitcher, but they don’t see him as a No. 1.

“I’m not criticizing Hultzen in the least here, but I think drafting at No. 2 overall is a rare chance to go for ceiling, and the Mariners didn’t do that,” ESPN. com’s Keith Law wrote. “They took a very safe, very good college pitcher who’ll move quickly but doesn’t have No. 1 starter upside.”

Moriarty, not surprisingly, disagrees.

“To say the guy is going to be a Felix Hernandez-type of ace is tough, but I definitely think he can be a top-of-the-rotation guy,” he said. “In my eyes, he’s an easy No. 2 starter, and he could be an ace. He’s good enough to get up there quickly, in my eyes.”

Said Kuhn: “The kid’s makeup is off the charts. If he doesn’t make it, another force is at work.

He has everything you could possibly need to make it.”

Elaborating on the earlier comparison, Kuhn said, “He throws at a low three-quarter slot like Randy Johnson, and he’s very quiet and professorial like Maddux. ... So many guys have great talent, great stuff, but they can’t really pitch. They can’t manage themselves in difficult situations.

He’s done that time and time again in college.”

Before the Mariners can reap Hultzen’s talent, of course, they must sign him by the Aug. 15 deadline, and that could be a challenge.

Sources confirmed a Baseball America report that Hultzen has let teams know it will take a four-year, $13 million contract to get him to forgo his senior year in college. Sources say Hultzen also wants permission to attend the fall semester at Virginia.

That is unlikely to be a stumbling block because of the number of innings he will have pitched this year due to the Cavaliers’ extended season.

The $13 million figure — just $2 million less than Stephen Strasburg received — is merely a starting point in negotiations, of course. The Mariners know they can’t let the No. 2 overall pick walk away, and Hultzen faces the prospect of a slotting system for draft picks next year after the union contract is renegotiated.

I’d be shocked if a deal doesn’t get done. Then we’ll get to find out for ourselves what the Hultzen fuss is all about.

“He’s a special young man,” concluded Kuhn. “He’s never going to do anything to compromise the club’s integrity or the integrity of the game. He never will.”

COLLEGE BASEBALL ROUNDUP

North Carolina beats Stanford to clinch trip to CWS The Associated Press

Mike Strasinger / The Associated Press

Vanderbilt’s Aaron Westlake pumps his fist after hitting a two-run home run against Oregon State in the first inning of Game 2 of an NCAA Super Regionals series on Saturday in Nashville, Tenn.

OSU Continued from D1 Anthony Gomez knocked in two runs with a single — his fourth hit of the game — in the sixth to make it 5-2 and Westlake followed with a two-run shot to right-center field.

“He hit mistakes tonight,” Oregon State coach Pat Casey said.

“Now, that doesn’t take anything away from him. But we left some balls in the middle of the plate to the wrong guy on a couple occasions ... Tremendous hitter.”

Parker Berberet led Oregon State (41-19) with two RBIs and Carter Bell hit a solo home run in the eighth.

Vanderbilt’s Will Clinard (22) pitched 4 2⁄3 innings in relief, working around a one-out, bases-loaded jam in the fifth. Beavers reliever Scott Schultz (4-1) allowed the go-ahead run in the top of the fifth on an RBI single

by Jason Esposito.

Clinard struck out Berberet for the final out as the Vanderbilt dugout cleared in a hurry and the celebration ensued in front of a wild crowd of 3,387.

Vanderbilt heads to Omaha

having won 11 of 12. The Commodores were playing in their third Super Regional and second straight after coming up one win short of the College World Series in 2010. They never trailed in the series and in five NCAA tournament games, they have outscored opponents 46-6.

“What these kids have achieved to be in this particular position is phenomenal,” Vandy coach Tim Corbin said. “We met Aug. 25 and that was the day we said we were going to open Ameritrade Stadium (in Omaha).

We said, ‘The stadium will be built then. Will we be built then?’

And we are built today. So we are going. The train has another stop.”

Vandy jumped out in front in the first inning when Westlake hit a line-drive home run to right field.

Oregon State, which lost Friday’s opener 11-1, battled back as Berberet knocked in the first run in the first on a two-out single.

He then tied it in the third on a sacrifice fly.

Vanderbilt regained the lead in the fifth. With Wetzler out, the Commodores chipped away at Schultz.

CHAPEL HILL, N.C. — Kent Emanuel held Stanford to one run through six innings and North Carolina held off a late rally to clinch another trip to the College World Series with a 7-5 win.

Jacob Stallings drove in three runs for the Tar Heels (50-14), who swept the best-of-three NCAA Super Regional to reach Omaha for the fifth time in six seasons.

The Tar Heels led 6-1 going into the bottom of the eighth inning before the Cardinal (35-22) rallied to within a run behind a three-RBI double from Austin Wilson. Then, with two outs in the top of the ninth, officials stopped the game for 3½ hours due to lightning and heavy rain.

When the game resumed, Stallings added an RBI single to give North Carolina an extra cushion. Reliever Michael Morin then got Stephen Piscotty to groundout to end it more than seven hours after the first pitch.

PORTLAND — Drew Moor scored in extra time and Colorado beat the Portland Timbers 1-0 on Saturday night, snapping the Rapids’ Major League Soccer-record draws streak at six.

Moor beat goalkeeper Troy Perkins in a close-in scramble for the ball in the 90th minute.

“It was a goal-mouth scramble of a lifetime,” Moor said.

The goal came shortly after Timbers’ coach John Spencer was ejected from the game for arguing with the officials.

The Rapids (5-3-7) are undefeated in nine straight matches. The Timbers (5-6-2) have lost three straight, including two in a row at JeldWen Field.

Portland wore “Rose City Red” kits at home for the first time, but it did not help the Timbers overcome the determined Rapids.

“We played well, but we needed to complete the game, not turn off,” Portland defender Eric Brunner said.

Perkins finished with six saves. Colorado’s Matt Pickens had four.

The teams kept both goalkeepers busy.

Perkins dove to save Jeff Larentowicz’s kick from out in front in the 11th minute, and made another diving save to deflect Jamie Smith’s shot from about 30 yards out in the 18th minute.

The Timbers came close in the 29th minute when Kalif Alhassan’s shot skimmed the crossbar. Portland was stung a short time later when defender Futty Danso hurt his left shoulder and had to be carried off the field. He was replaced by David Horst.

Danso, who has two goals in nine matches this season, was taken to a hospital for further evaluation. The team later announced that he had a minor shoulder injury and would miss two to three weeks.

Portland had another good chance in the 35th minute when Jorge Perlaza brought the ball downfield alone, but his shot from about 15 yards out went right of the goal.

Pickens deflected a kick

by Portland forward Kenny Cooper, then watched as Diego Chara’s left-footed rocket sailed just right.

“It was an extremely even affair,” Colorado coach Gary Smith said.

Colorado Rapids defender Scott Palguta, left, defends against Portland Timbers defender Steve Purdy during the first half of their MLS soccer game, Saturday in Portland. foul on Colorado defender Tyrone Marshall.

Moor’s goal was his second of the season.

“I was just trying to put it in goal,” he said. “I was tired.”

The Timbers, an expansion club, opened their inaugural MLS season against the Rapids, falling 3-1 in Colorado. Cooper scored the lone goal for Portland.

“Very different team than we faced at the beginning of the season,” Moor said.

Colorado striker Omar Cummings was still sidelined with a sprained right ankle that he sustained in the Rapids’ 2-1 win at Houston on May 4. Cummings returned to practice this past week and is expected to return on June 18 when the Rapids host the Los Angeles Galaxy.

Colorado’s Brian Mullan continues to serve a 10-game suspension for a tackle of Seattle’s Steve Zukani on April 22. Zukani’s leg was fractured in two places.

The Rapids finished 1-all against Philadelphia last Saturday night. That put their streak at six straight draws, longest ever for a regular season in MLS. San Jose has six consecutive draws over the course of two seasons in 2004 and 2005.

“All in all I think we’ve played well in some tough circumstances,” Smith said.

The Timbers are coming off back-to-back losses, at home to D.C. United and at Chivas USA. Portland was 5-0 at home until a 3-2 loss to D.C. United on May 29.

FORMULA ONE

Canadian Grand Prix takes root in culture

By Brad Spurgeon New York Times News Service

MONTREAL — Formula One, the world’s premier auto racing series, has always had a difficult and sometimes prickly relationship with the United States, where it has never found a permanent home. After a five-year absence, the United States Grand Prix will return in 2012, in Austin, Texas.

But the Canadian Grand Prix made its debut in 1967 at Mosport, north of Toronto, as part of the country’s centennial celebration. It has since continued almost uninterrupted, with the 42nd running today.

Gerald Donaldson, a Canadian writer and journalist who has covered Formula One since the 1970s, said the interest in Formula One could be attributed to Canada’s relationship to Europe, “There were enough enthusiasts in the country, mainly from the Old World, still closely connected to Britain and Europe, who were very influential in sports car clubs in Canada, mainly Ontario, and they brought it to Mosport, and that introduced a lot of fans to the sport,” he said.

In the United States, the most popular forms of auto racing involve cars going around in circles like fairground rides, but in Canada, the racing circuits are based on the models of the great circuits of Europe.

The Mosport circuit was built in the style of the Nuerburgring in Germany, which winds through the hilly forest of the Eifel Mountains. In the early years when the Canadian Grand Prix was not run at Mosport in Ontario, it moved to a similar circuit in Mont Tremblant, Quebec, in the Laurentian Mountains, an hour-and-a-half drive north from Montreal.

In 1978, it found a permanent home at Ile Notre-Dame in downtown Montreal, the site of the Expo 67 world’s fair, where the former United States pavilion, the geodesic dome designed by R. Buckminster Fuller, still dominates the landscape.

Gilles Villeneuve, who was born and raised in Quebec and who started his career racing snowmobiles, won the first Formula One race in Montreal. He was the first Canadian to win races, but he never won the drivers’ title, and he died in a racing accident in Belgium in 1982. But

he heightened interest in the series in Canada.

“What happened then, after Formula One racing came to Canada, was that we had some Canadian identity, culminating in Gilles Villeneuve, who was one of the great heroes of this sport, forget about just Canada,” said Donaldson, who wrote a biography of Villeneuve.

That developed further when Villeneuve’s son, Jacques, won the drivers’ title in 1997. Jacques Villeneuve won 11 races, compared with his father’s six victories.

Today, the country’s greatest Formula One hope is Robert Wickens, who signed last week as a reserve driver for the Marussia Virgin team.

“My first year of karting in 1997 was Jacques Villeneuve’s world-championship-winning year,” Wickens, 22, said. “So that whole year, I was watching every single race.”

Yet Canada does not have nearly the grassroots racing culture that exists in the United States. Wickens won several karting titles in North America, then won the Formula BMW USA series in 2006. In Europe, he finished second in the Formula Two series in 2009 and second in the GP3 series in 2010. This year, he is racing in the Formula Renault 3.5 series.

“I think Canadian Formula Ford and in general Canadian open-wheel racing isn’t too strong,” Wickens said. “It is unfortunate, but actually, you have to go elsewhere to show yourself.”

In the United States, on the other hand, so many racing series compete that Formula One has always had to fight for a foothold.

The race in the United States has always been a private business. In Montreal, it survives with government financing. After losing the race in 2009 because of contractual issues, Montreal signed a five-year deal with Formula One starting last year. The race was so important to Formula One, the deal was made for $15 million a year instead of the $35 million it had been seeking.

“Businesswise, Formula One has to be in the U.S.,” said Eric Boullier, the director of Lotus Renault. “Internally, in Formula One, Canada is rated as one of the best events to attend. So you need both events.”

Dario Franchitti wins first of twin Texas races; Power maintains points lead

By Stephen Hawkins The Associated Press

FORT WORTH, Texas — IndyCar Series points leader Will Power made a quick, evasive move to avoid disaster just before his final pit stop Saturday night at Texas and held on for his first victory on an oval track.

Power raced to his third win of the season, and 12th career for the Team Penske driver, to wrap up the first doubleheader in major open-wheel racing in 30 years. He kept his points lead over Dario Franchitti, the winner in the opener.

Franchitti led 110 of 114 laps in the first race, when Power finished third.

The starting spots for the second race were determined by a blind draw. Power started third and Franchitti was 28th in the 30-car field, working his way to a seventh-place finish.

Scott Dixon, Franchitti’s teammate with Target Chip Ganassi Racing, was second in both races.

As Power was charging down the backstretch inside the final 10 laps of the finale for his last stop, he suddenly had to swerve toward the inside wall to avoid contact with Graham Rahal, who had apparently run out of fuel. Power got in with no problem, then got a splash of fuel and new left tires.

Power got the lead on the 39th lap after going side-by-side with Tony Kanaan, who drew the pole position for the race. The two stayed nearby for a couple of laps before Power finally cleared him and went on to win by 0.09466 seconds over Dixon.

Power entered the week-

IndyCar driver Will Power takes the checkered flag, winning the second auto race of the Texas Firestone Twin 275s at Texas Motor Speedway in Fort Worth, Texas, Saturday. end with a 16-point lead over Franchitti, who cut it to seven points after winning the opener for his 28th career victory. The margin stretched back to 21 after Power won the nightcap 171-mile race at the 1½-mile, high-banked Texas track.

The first race was on a blistering pace of more than 207 mph, which would have been the fastest in IndyCar Series history, before the Indianapolis 500-winning car driven by rookie Wade Cunningham, not Dan Wheldon, was involved in a crash for the only caution to set up the final sprint.

“I saw Dixie. That’s a guy you don’t want to see, especially with a side-by-side restart,” Franchitti said. “I managed to get a good restart, was able to stay ahead of him, and at the same time he was able to stay ahead of Will. That was 1-2 for the team. Worked out pretty good.”

Franchitti, who edged Dixon by 0.0527 seconds, wasn’t as happy after the second race, despite an incredible run through the field. With his starting spot determined by the luck — or bad

luck — of the draw, the seventhplace finish could still cost him valuable points by the end of the season.

There was an abbreviated celebration between races for Franchitti’s 28th victory, which moved him into 10th place overall on the career list past Fort Worth native and three-time Indy 500 champion Johnny Rutherford.

Franchitti shot the customary six-shooters in Victory Lane for his first victory at Texas, where he was twice a runner-up.

The race-tightening crash in the opener came with 22 laps remaining when rookie drivers Charlie Kimball and Cunningham made contact in the fourth turn.

Wheldon had only a one-race contract with Bryan Herta Autosport at Indy two weeks ago, when he drove to victory in the No. 98 car that was leased from Sam Schmidt Motorsports.

Because of damage to one of its other cars at Indianapolis, the Schmidt team decided to use that Indy 500 championship car at Texas for the Firestone Twin 275s as No. 99. It sustained sig-

nificant damage.

Cunningham went to a backup car for the second race, and drew the No. 2 starting spot. He finished 26th.

Franchitti had built a nearly 5-second lead before the only crash of the night, but was able to drive around the wreckage without any issues.

“I had slowed down already,” Franchitti said. “I was already fully in control of where I was going to go.”

After the first attempt to start the race was waved off because Tagliani took off to soon, they were side-by-side on the second attempt. Franchitti, who qualified second, took the lead in the first turn.

“The biggest problem was traffic and working my way through that,” Franchitti said. “The first win at Texas feels good.”

Only 12 of the 30 drivers, the largest field ever at Texas, finished on the lead lap in the first race. That number dropped to 11 in the second race.

“It was fun out there, and then crazy,” Dixon said. “The race blows by so quick.”

As Mavs try to wrap up title, James says he is focused

Locked out? Training camp sites start to sweat

By Brian Mahoney The Associated Press

MIAMI — The hammer Dirk Nowitzki is so close to escaping is pounding away harder than ever at LeBron James.

The Dallas Mavericks are a victory from claiming the title that James came to Miami to win. It would forever alter Nowitzki’s reputation, which has already been elevated enormously during this series as he’s ignored injury and illness.

And James is now the target of all the criticism Nowitzki long endured, the one shouldering most of the blame as things go wrong.

“That’s just a part of the game if you’re the star or the face of the franchise,” Nowitzki said Saturday. “If you win, it’s great for you, and everybody looks at you. And if you lose, you’re going to get hammered. It’s just part of the business. I think we understand that, we’ve been around long enough. I got hammered the last 13 years, basically. So hopefully this year I can make the hammering go away for a year.”

He has two shots at it. The Mavs can win their first title tonight, or Tuesday if the Heat force a seventh game.

That would require a stronger effort from James, who this time a year ago was coming off his second straight MVP award and was three weeks from becoming among the most sought-after free agents in sports history.

Now he’s the guy who can’t produce in the fourth quarters, with 11 total points in five games, the one with the big name but the puny stats who had to spend part of his off day answering all sorts of questions about what’s happened to him.

• Are those 44 minutes per game you’re playing too much?

“I wouldn’t say it’s too much.

I don’t think so,” James said. “I don’t feel like I’m hurting my team for the time I’m out there. I don’t feel like it’s too much.”

• Is something wrong with your shot technique?

“At this point, I don’t think technique has anything to do with it,” James said. “Shots go in, shots don’t go in. I don’t stop to think about my technique or anything like that.”

• Are you simply feeling the pressure of the finals stage?

“I think the game of basketball can be pressure,” James said. “It doesn’t matter if it’s the finals or

games at the end.

The Mavericks’ nine-point victory in Game 5 was the biggest by either team in the series, in which Dallas has outscored Miami 463459. The previous three had been decided by three points or fewer, and the Heat know they’ve been good enough to realize they can easily win the next two.

“This is about as close as you can possibly have a series, and you have to stay the course,” coach Erik Spoelstra said.

“We’re doing a lot of things well.

It’s a possession game, possession series, it goes down to the end. We’re a very good closing team on both ends of the court.

“They’ve been able to do it better than us in three of the games, but we feel very confident coming home and being able to do the things we’ve been successful at, particularly closing.”

The Mavs are comfortable on the road, where they won Game 2 of this series after a pair of victories at both Los Angeles and Oklahoma City in the previous two rounds. Nowitzki and Jason Terry still remember the pain of watching the Heat celebrate on their floor five years ago, and now they’ve got the chance for the ultimate payback.

“We feel that we can execute on the road as well,” Nowitzki said. “We have a bunch of veterans that are road-tested and hopefully we can get a big game tomorrow.”

NBA NOTEBOOK

Wade’s hip OK, and no worries for Game 6

By Tim Reynolds The Associated Press

MIAMI — Heat guard Dwyane Wade thinks his bruised left hip will not be an issue for Game 6 of the NBA finals.

Wade went through some of Miami’s practice on Saturday, took part in the regular team shooting games afterward and pronounced himself fully fit for tonight’s win-or-else game against the Dallas Mavericks.

Dallas leads the best-of-seven series 3-2.

“He’ll be ready to go,” Heat coach Erik Spoelstra said.

Wade was injured in the first quarter of Game 5, retreating to the locker room for treatment and staying in for a second round after halftime before returning to the floor.

He finished Game 5 with a team-high 23 points.

“This is just another day of getting treatment and getting rest,” Wade said Saturday.

Young fan honored At Game 6 of the NBA finals on tonight, the Heat will honor the memory of Henry Buchanan, a 7-year-old from Hollywood, Fla., who died Wednesday.

Health officials suspect meningitis as the cause, though tests are still pending.

Friends of Henry’s family reached out to the team Saturday with e-mails about how the boy would often wear Heat jerseys and played basketball whenever he could. The team invited his family to Game 6 and planned to show his photo on the video screen before the game.

Heat public address announcer Michael Baiamonte also planned to reach out to the boy’s family, since Henry was a fan of his in-game calls.

Dirk’s music When the Mavericks visited Miami in 2006, Dirk Nowitzki was serenaded by cries of “David Hass-el-hoff!” — a nod to the fact that he said during those finals he listens to the actor’s music and that it was hugely popular in Germany.

A couple of the taunts have popped up this year, but that ’06 scene seems largely forgotten.

Maybe that’s because Nowitzki has a different taste in music.

Asked Saturday of his biggest musical influences, Nowitzki said he loves rock these days.

“I have played the guitar for a couple of years,” Nowitzki said. “I listen to old-school rock, Led Zeppelin, Stones, stuff like that.”

Don’t mess with Texas LeBron James has some Texas-sized struggles when visiting the Lone Star State for finals games.

He’s averaged at least 23 points in every building over his postseason career — except the ones in San Antonio and Dallas. James averaged 19.5 points in two games at San Antonio in the 2007 NBA finals, and 14 during three games in Dallas this year.

Those are also the only two cities where he shoots under 40 percent in the postseason: 39 at Dallas, 35 at San Antonio.

So far in Miami, there’s some comforts of home. He’s averaging 25.7 points on the Heat’s floor this postseason.

Packing dilemma When Miami took a 3-2 lead into Game 6 at Dallas in 2006, then-Heat coach Pat Riley packed one suit, one shirt and one tie for the trip, his way of telling his team that there would

be no need for a seventh game.

Mavs coach Rick Carlisle is keeping what’s in his luggage a secret for this, the final road trip of Dallas’ season.

“I just don’t know that that’s the right way to go,” Carlisle said.

Miller surgery Heat forward Mike Miller confirmed Saturday that he will need additional surgery after the season to repair a ruptured tendon in his left thumb.

Miller broke his right thumb during the preseason, then hurt his left thumb late in the regular season. He also has dealt with an array of other injuries, but the left thumb will be his most pressing offseason concern.

Barea for three The Mavericks likely did not expect four three-pointers in Game 5 of the finals from J.J. Barea.

With good reason. He hadn’t made that many in a game all season.

Barea was four for five from beyond the arc in Game 5, after not making more than three threes in any game this season — and to be fair, he only did that three times, one of those against Oklahoma City in the Western Conference finals.

The Heat might have been better off if Barea made five three’s on Thursday. He’s done that twice in his career, and the Mavs lost both times.

By the numbers Scoring in the NBA will be down about 1 percent this season.

In 1,312 games last year, NBA teams scored a combined 263,091 points. Through 1,310 games this season, they’re at 259,925 — which works out, on average, as two fewer points per game.

Sometime next season, someone will score the 11 millionth point in league history. According to STATS LLC, when counting regular-season and playoff games, there have been 10,905,991 points so far in NBA contests entering Game 6 of the NBA Finals tonight.

Stat of the day Dallas star Dirk Nowitzki has made 24 free throws in fourth quarters during this series. The Heat have made 22.

Quote of the day “This series is a long way from over. There’s a lot of basketball left. And we’re back home. We would rather have it here than anywhere else.”

MINNEAPOLIS — Jake’s Stadium Pizza has been a fast-food fixture on the Minnesota State University campus for nearly four decades.

This summer, they’re cooking that thin crust with crossed fingers in Mankato, Minn.

The NFL lockout, now headed toward its fourth month, is threatening a revenue-driving, profile-raising event for this small, family-owned business: Vikings training camp.

“We’re hoping they get it done, because it’s not just us.

It’s the whole state that will suffer,” said Wally Boyer, the owner of the joint where players from Jim Marshall to John Randle have recuperated after many a draining workout.

Fans, too, have long made that familiar walk down Stadium Road after watching practice to fill up and cool off.

If the work stoppage lingers long enough to keep teams holding traditional training camps, the hit would be felt far beyond Minnesota, and it wouldn’t just be about losing money.

In upstate New York, the Jets have trained on the SUNY Cortland campus the past two years.

“Just their presence alone has stimulated people. It’s just good for the mental health of the community,” said Cortland State football coach Dan MacNeill. “For our people, it’s been fun. It has impacted the football program. We don’t have normal use of our facilities. But an NFL franchise, no matter where you go, there’s a heck of a following.”

Seventeen of the 32 NFL teams last year held training camp at their year-round facilities, reflecting a trend toward cost-and-time efficiency in an era in which chemistry is built and conditioning established well before the twoa-day grind in August.

But the other 15 teams still take their show on the road, many of them to slower-paced cities and small colleges where their presence is a big deal — and a big financial boon.

Some people make a summer vacation out of watching their favorite team run drills and scrimmages. Day-trippers at least stop for a bite to eat on the way out of town.

The Cardinals have held camp at Northern Arizona University in Flagstaff since 1988, and the school’s Rural Policy Institute estimated it brought $7 million to the local economy last year, with an overall impact of $10 million.

There were more than 38,000 visitors, 81 percent of those

BendSpineandPain.com (541) 647-1646

from out of town, along with 122 jobs created by the camp.

In southern Minnesota, a 90-minute drive from the Twin Cities, Vikings training camp makes a $5 million impact on the region, said Anna Thill, president of the Greater Mankato Convention and Visitors Bureau.

Last year, it drew 60,000 visitors from at least 30 states, and a few foreign countries.

The university charges $7 for parking near the practice fields, but that’s only part of the story.

The school also receives tremendous exposure.

“They do bring people here, and young people are introduced to the campus. There’s certainly a marketing value to the Vikings being here that is difficult to determine,” said Michael Cooper, the university’s media relations director.

Whether it’s Westminster, Md., Anderson, Ind., or Spartanburg, S.C., the reflected glamour of having an NFL team in town for a few weeks can go a long way.

“You can’t put a price on it, to be honest. Newspaper articles go out every day that have Georgetown, Ky., as the dateline. It puts the community on the map,” said John Simpson, executive director of the Georgetown/Scott County Tourism Commission.

The Bengals train at Georgetown College, about 100 miles south of Cincinnati.

The Vikings’ presence was enough to get Jake’s Stadium Pizza a mention in Sports Illustrated once. Boyer said his business spikes about 20 percent during camp.

“It’s a lot of frosting on the cake,” he said.

Start dates are staggered by team, but generally training camps begin the last week of July — seven weeks or so from now. There is plenty of time for NFL owners and players to reach an agreement by then, but teams and their hosts need some lead time to make arrangements.

For the Jets, early July is essentially the deadline for a new collective bargaining agreement in order to commit to Cortland for 2011. Team spokesman Bruce Speight said that’s “an internal point of reference. There is some leeway, and it is subject to developments.”

NFL spokesman Greg Aiello said the league “has set no such date” for an agreement to ensure the opening of normal training camps.

So, at SUNY Cortland and several points west and south, they wait.

“Everybody is anxious,” MacNeill said.

Game Continued from D1 “I thought, ‘Oh god, I’m going to blow it,’ ” says Jezukewicz, who had almost shot 69 at Bend Golf and Country Club at age 69, but finished with a bogey and a double bogey to end that run.

This time Jezukewicz made it, freeing himself from the bunker on his fourth shot and then drilling the putt.

With that he became a rarity, a golfer at an age and skill in which shooting his or her age is even possible.

Yet the humble Jezukewicz is not one to brag.

“All my buddies shoot their age,” he says with wry wit. “It’s just a matter of which hole they reach their age on: 14 or 15. They all shoot their age.”

Golfing young Jezukewicz, a father of three adult sons and two adult stepchildren, has long been a skilled golfer.

He was introduced to golf at age 8 by his father and uncle, but at that age he mainly looked for golf balls while the family patriarchs played their rounds. By 9 he started playing with them most Sundays, and he improved rapidly, he recalls.

“It didn’t take me too long before I was really better than they were,” Jezukewicz says.

From then on, Jezukewicz was a golfer. He played often with neighborhood friends, made his high school team and eventually made the golf team at hometown Marquette University.

He joined the U.S. Navy after college, and even then he golfed.

In fact, he taught others to play the game, too, including current Bend resident Dave Ewing.

“Unfortunately he didn’t do as good a job with me as he did himself,” jokes Ewing, who served on the same ship with Jezukewicz in the early 1960s and now plays in the same Widgi group as Jezukewicz and fellow shipmate and friend, Bend’s Wayne Lukens.

Stationed at Port Chicago, near San Francisco, Jezukewicz, Ewing and others would play golf on weekends, Ewing says. And even then he was better than just about everyone else, Ewing says.

“There was another guy on the ship too that was another good golfer like Joe,” Ewing says. “And they were VERY competitive.”

After the Navy, Jezukewicz settled in the Bay Area and became a university administrator, working at schools such as Stanford University.

And he always played golf, usually as a scratch golfer, joining clubs such as Presidio Golf Course in San Francisco and Stanford Golf Course.

Friendly sort Just like in his younger years, Jezukewicz is most competitive when he meets a golfer of his own caliber, he says.

But when playing with friends, such as those at Widgi, he is different.

“He’s a good guy,” says Bend’s Jerry Roslund, who organizes the Widgi group and was playing with Jezukewicz in April when he shot 73. “He’s fun. I think he is a fairly sophisticated person with a good background and experiences in life.”

That perspective is the key for Jezukewicz.

“In a way, I don’t care that much,” Jezukewicz says. “If I shoot a really good round, that’s fine. When I am with my peers, it’s completely different.

“But I play for the social aspect.”

Jezukewicz’s temperament sets him apart from many. He has a wonderful habit of explaining a poor turn of events on the course as, “That’s golf.”

He says he last threw a club in high school, when he pitched a fit and wrapped a golf club’s shaft around a tree.

“I decided I wasn’t going to do that anymore,” Jezukewicz says.

And Jezukewicz has had little patience for club throwers since.

Once on Presidio’s first hole, a playing partner threw a club and unleashed a profanity-laced tantrum, he recalls.

Jezukewicz then hit his shot, faked a twisted ankle and returned to the clubhouse.

“I just can’t do that,” Jezukewicz says. “It’s a social game. I don’t run into them very often, but there are people who are real jerks out there.

That just spoils the whole game.”

A natural athlete who once ran marathons, Jezukewicz performs restorative yoga at Juniper Swim & Fitness Center, and stretches with yoga at home.

He also spends time in the pool.

He has to, he says, otherwise “I’d seize up after a while.”

And that is not an option when there is still so much quality golf yet to play.

“I just really enjoy being out on the course,” Jezukewicz says. “It’s a lifestyle. I walk out on that first hole and I say, ‘Joe, you are a lucky guy.’

“I honestly say that every time. I just feel very lucky, very fortunate to be in good health at 73.”

GOLF ROUNDUP

Karlsson closing in on first PGA victory The Associated Press MEMPHIS, Tenn. — With 18 holes left, too much golf remains for Robert Karlsson to worry about a couple of late bogeys.

Karlsson looked ready to run away from the field Saturday, leading by five strokes on the back nine at the St. Jude Classic. The Swede closed with his only bogeys of the day on the final two holes and finished with a 2-under 68 that dropped him to 11 under, one stroke ahead of Harrison Frazar through three rounds in this final U.S. Open tuneup.

“I’m very, very happy with where I am at the moment. I mean you’re going to make a mistake here and there,” Karlsson said.

“Just keep doing what I’m doing. I mean it’s a 72-hole golf tournament. It’s a long, long way to go still, and ... I’m very happy with where I’m standing and let’s go from there.”

Frazar said he thought Karlsson was in total control of the tournament so he focused only on playing. He got hot and birdied three of his final four holes to finish with a 64 that got him to 10 under. That included rolling in a 42-footer for birdie on No. 18 on a similar line to a putt he had last year. Frazar was so confident he had the right line, he even waved his caddie off.

“Went right in the center, jumped in there like a rabbit,” Frazar said.

John Merrick (67) is third, followed by Retief Goosen, who turned in the best 18-hole score this week at TPC Southwind before being matched by Frazar. Fredrik Jacobson (68) and Keegan Bradley (70) are tied for fifth.

The 41-year-old Karlsson is in his first full year on the PGA Tour after earning an exemption by finishing in the top 125 on the money list with 11 events in 2010. That included a secondplace finish here a year ago, when he lost a fourhole playoff to Lee Westwood in his best showing yet on the tour.

He is trying to become the seventh first-time

winner on tour this year and the first player to win his first title in Memphis since Dicky Pride in 1994.

“I’m in the last group and have a great chance of getting out there tomorrow and play golf,” Karlsson said. “I’m looking forward to that.”

Karlsson is no stranger to closing out tournaments. He has won 11 times on the European Tour and has yet to shoot over par on this course in seven rounds.

The TPC Southwind has been playing fairly tough for everyone but Karlsson, with the Champion Bermuda greens baked enough from temperatures in the mid-90s to make them almost crusty.

In other events on Saturday: Tseng’s 66 leads to one-stroke lead at LPGA SPRINGFIELD, Ill. — Top-ranked Yani Tseng shot her second straight 6-under 66 to take a one-stroke lead over Mindy Kim in the LPGA State Farm Classic. Tseng reached 17 under, birdieing all four of Panther Creek’s par 5s in her bogey-free round. She won the seasonopening LPGA Thailand for her sixth tour title in four years. Kim, the leader after the first two rounds, bogeyed the final hole for a 69.

Tway takes Champions lead into final round CONOVER, N.C. — Bob Tway moved a step closer to his first Champions Tour title, shooting a 5-under 67 to maintain a one-shot lead after the second round of the Greater Hickory Classic.

Tway was 14 under at Rock Barn. Playing partner Tommy Armour III was second after a 67.

Rock still solid at Italian Open FIANO, Italy — Robert Rock stretched his lead to two shots in the Italian Open, shooting a second straight 4-under 68 in a bid for his first European Tour title. The Englishman was 16 under. Italian star Francesco Molinari (68) was tied for second with Niclas Fasth (64), Pablo Larrazabal (65), Jbe Kruger (67), Joost Luiten (69) and Gary Boyd (68).

Robert Karlsson hits out of a bunker on the 17th hole during the third round of the St. Jude Classic golf tournament, Saturday in Memphis, Tenn. Karlsson bogeyed the hole and is taking a one stroke lead into the final day of the tournament at 11-under par.

This is a U.S. Open that is wide open

By Doug Ferguson The Associated Press

Four players have taken their turns at No. 1, the highest number between U.S. Opens in the 25-year history of the world ranking. Four players won their first major in the past 12 months.

Four others captured their first World Golf Championship.

And it’s largely because of a guy who’s not even playing.

The presence Tiger Woods brings to golf is felt even more strongly in his absence.

Woods will not be at Congressional, missing the U.S. Open for the first time in 17 years because of lingering injuries to his left leg. Some could argue he has been missing for the past year as he has tried to mend his personal life, his health and his golf swing. He has gone 18 months without winning, paving the way for a new generation of stars to emerge.

And they have.

Graeme McDowell started off by winning the U.S. Open at Pebble Beach, and he peeled back a massive layer of Woods’ mystique at the end of the year by overcoming a four-shot deficit in the final round and beating him in a playoff at the Chevron World Challenge.

Louis Oosthuizen (British Open), Martin Kaymer (PGA Championship) and Charl Schwartzel (Masters) — all of them in their 20s — won the next three majors. Lee Westwood ended Woods’ five-year stay atop the world ranking, and Kaymer and Luke Donald since have gone to No. 1 in the world over the past four months.

None of that seemed possible when Woods was on top of his game, dominating to such a degree that he won nearly 30 percent of his tournaments.

Are players getting better?

Or were they always this good and no one noticed? Maybe it takes Woods being gone to realize just how good he was.

“Some of the younger players came along when Tiger was on a tear, and they were in his shadow,” Mark O’Meara said.

“He was bigger than life. But now that Tiger is somewhat removed from the game, they’ve been able to shine.”

With the absence of Woods — and to a lesser extent, Phil Mickelson, who has only one win in the past year — the new landscape in golf features parity not seen in some 20 years.

Donald has finished in the top 10 in his past 10 tournaments, and his chipping and putting would seem to be a good fit for the U.S. Open. Westwood has the most experience contending in a major, even though he hasn’t won yet. It was only three years ago when he stood over a 15-foot birdie putt on the last hole at Torrey Pines to get into a playoff, only to leave it short.

He also missed a par putt that kept him out of a playoff at Turnberry, and he lost a 54-hole lead to Mickelson at the Masters.

American golf is not as bad as it might seem at the moment. Finishing off majors is a different story.

A year ago, Dustin Johnson had a three-shot lead going into the last round and shot 82, the highest score in the U.S. Open by a 54-hole leader in nearly 100 years. Nick Watney had a threeshot lead at the PGA Championship last year and shot 80.

That’s not exclusive to Americans, though. Rory McIlroy of Northern Ireland had a four-shot lead going into the final round at the Masters this year, and the 22year-old closed with an 80.

“I don’t know how Dustin and Nick were feeling whenever they were going into the last round leading, but it’s a new experi-

ence,” McIlroy said. “They’re major championships, and you want to really try and get your first one out of the way and kick on.”

McIlroy’s mistake eventually allowed Schwartzel to win.

Johnson’s blunders gave way to McDowell, while Watney’s blowup in the PGA Championship ultimately set the stage for Kaymer to win in a playoff over Bubba Watson (only after Johnson was penalized for a bunker he didn’t know he was in). All of them are young, all were new to major championship experience.

Such is the way golf is going at the moment, especially with Woods not much of a factor on the golf course — and not a factor at all as long as he’s at home trying to heal himself.

“Will he be back? Nobody knows at the minute. There’s obviously a lot going on,” McDowell told Sky Sports News. “His mental health is one question and his physical health is now another.

Golf needs him. He has been golf for the last 15 years.”

Women play large role in this Triple Crown

By Melissa Hoppert New York Times News Service

Julio Cortez / The Associated Press

Jose Valdivia Jr. holds aloft the trophy after he and Ruler On Ice won the Belmont Stakes horse race, Saturday at Belmont Park in Elmont, N.Y.

Belmont Continued from D1 An elated Valdivia, riding in his first Belmont, described the final seconds of the race while on the gallop back to the winner’s circle.

“I’m a couple of yards from the wire and I’m thinking, ‘Oh my god, oh my god, I’m going to win the Belmont,’ ” he said.

A crowd of 55,779 turned out hoping to see a stretch showdown between Animal Kingdom and Shackleford — the first Derby vs. Preakness winners in the Belmont in six years. But that vanished once the Derby winner was knocked around in a bad bit of racing luck.

“It was unbelievable,” Velazquez said. “They came over on me and clipped heels and I almost came off. I had a horrible trip. No way was he going to make up that much ground. He’s still a great horse.”

The Belmont has a history of surprise finishes, from spoiled Triple Crown attempts to stunning shockers. Only two favorites have won since Thunder Gulch in 1995, and long shots have been the norm. Last year, it was 13-1 Drosselmeyer, two years ago Summer Bird at 11-1, and three years ago Da’ Tara at 38-1.

Birdstone spoiled Smarty Jones’ bid for a Triple Crown in 2004 at odds of 36-1 and Sarava ended War Emblem’s Triple try in 2002 at 70-1 odds.

The win left Lori Hall, who owns Ruler On Ice with her husband George, shaking.

“It was amazing, because we really were the underdog,” she said.

Ruler On Ice’s victory makes it three years in a row a different horse has won each of the Triple Crown races, and next year it will be a 33-year gap since Affirmed swept the Derby, Preakness and Belmont in 1978.

Ruler On Ice, trained by New Jersey-based Kelly Breen, did not run in the first two legs of the Triple Crown. The 3-yearold gelding didn’t have enough graded stakes earnings to qualify for the Derby, but vindicated his trainer’s faith by defeating a field that included the first seven finishers in the Run for the Roses.

The winning time for the oldest and longest race in the Triple Crown was a slow 2:30.88.

While Shackleford and jockey Jesus Castenon shot to the lead from the outside No. 12 post, Ruler On Ice stalked him all the way around the track. Stay Thirsty and Brilliant Speed were close behind but they weren’t going to catch Ruler On Ice once he took over with about an eighth-of-amile to go.

Ruler On Ice, a temperamental sort fitted with blinkers for the first time to keep him focused, returned $51.50, $26 and $13.60. Stay Thirsty, owner Mike Repole’s second-best 3-year-old behind the sidelined Uncle Mo, paid $19.40 and $10.80. Brilliant Speed was third and returned $7.90 to show.

The $2 win payoff is the eighth highest in Belmont history. Sarava’s $2 win payoff of $142.50 is the record.

Nehro, second in his past three races, including the Derby, was fourth, followed by Shackleford, Animal Kingdom, Mucho Macho Man, Santiva, Monzon, Master of Hounds, Prime Cut and Isn’t He Perfect.

Shackleford’s trainer Dale Romans said before the race he expected his colt to break first and then see how far he can go.

It wasn’t far enough.

“He had it his way,” Romans said. “We had it the way we wanted. He just didn’t hang on.

We’re so proud of the way he performed. I was down, but I would never get too down running at this level of race.”

This Triple Crown season has been rife with story lines, many involving women.

Rosie Napravnik posted the highest finish by a female jockey in the Kentucky Derby — ninth with Pants On Fire. Kathy Ritvo, recovering from a heart transplant, trained Mucho Macho Man for all three legs of this grueling series.

But a woman behind the scenes has been just as important.

When the trainer Dale Romans needed to decide whether to enter Shackleford, who finished fourth in the Derby and won the Preakness Stakes, in Saturday’s Belmont Stakes, he turned to the person he trusted most, Tammy Fox. Fox has had two children with Romans, and she is familiar with Shackleford.

She rides him during morning workouts — and has watched him blossom from an immature 2-year-old into a champion.

“She said all along he was a good horse,” Romans said of Shackleford, who led most of the Belmont but faded to fifth. “She kind of called it early in his career. And she’s been good about giving feedback on his breezes — when he’s on his game, when he’s moving forward — which has been good because it helps make decisions on how often we should run him.”

Fox had a precocious start in horse racing. Her father, Billy Fox, was a jockey and trainer at Fair Grounds Race Course in New Orleans. He put her on a racehorse when she was 12.

“We used to sneak on the racetrack right before they would close, right before 10 o’clock,” she said. “And he would be on his pony and I would be on one of the racehorses, and he would go around the racetrack with me and help me out and tell me what I should be doing on a horse, and what I was doing wrong.”

And so the seeds were planted for a 23-year career as a jockey, in which she won 236 races from 2,227 mounts, earning $3.5 million.

“I’ve had it easy,” Fox said of being a woman in a male-dominated industry. “I grew up with all those guys riding, and I was around it all my life. I’ve been very fortunate in that respect that I didn’t have to go out hustling trying to get mounts and stuff. I had my dad there for me, who

Mylan Cannon / The New York Times

Tammy Fox, who has won purses totaling $3.5 million as a jockey, right, rides Little Dale during a workout at Belmont Race Track in Elmont, N.Y. on Friday. When the trainer Dale Romans needed to decide whether to enter Shackleford, who finished fourth in the Kentucky Derby and won the Preakness Stakes, in Saturday’s Belmont Stakes, he turned to the person he trusted most, Fox. put me on pretty much the best of what he had to get me started.”

She met Romans more than 20 years ago when she went to Kentucky to ride.

Her brother, Billy Fox Jr., who was riding for Romans at the time, gave her a list of people to help her get started.

“Dale was the first one I went to talk to, and I didn’t need to see anything else,” she said with a chuckle before adding that she had not been looking for a boyfriend, only for work. Romans, who is part of a racing family as well, asked her out soon after, but they did not officially start dating for about a year.

Fox now rides exclusively for the burly, 6-foot-3 Romans, who she said is practically a teddy bear. At only 4-foot-6 and 97 pounds, she is the strong arm of the operation.

“He doesn’t boss anybody around,” Fox said. “In some of the barns, there’s a lot of yelling and stuff going on. He’s not the type that’s going to embarrass you in front of anybody. If he doesn’t like what you’re doing, he’ll call you off to the side and he’ll say, ‘Hey, I want you to do this, I want you to do that.’

“Me, I’ll speak my mind. If I’m on a horse and I don’t like the way he’s going, I’ll just say so right then and there, where he’ll wait and tell the owner in a nicer way. He handles that stuff a lot better than I do.”

In 2005, Fox found another outlet for her toughness — on the football field.

“I was going to the racetrack one morning and there was an interview on the radio saying that there was tryouts for this women’s football team,” Fox, 46, said

of the Kentucky Karma of the National Women’s Football Association. “And the next day I went out there and tried out for running back and made the team.

“They were serious. There was NFL rules; the girls were big and they were tough. I mean, I got hit, I got banged up, the conditioning was brutal. We were practicing four days a week, about three hours a day. Those girls don’t play around.”

Much like Fox, Ritvo, 42, grew up on the track’s back side. Her father, Peter Petro, was a horse owner before he died of a heart ailment in 2007. Her brothers — Michael, a trainer, and Nick, a jockey — are based at Delaware Park. Another brother, Louis, was a jockey who died of complications from cardiomyopathy, a degenerative heart disease, at 38 in 1996.

Ritvo received her training license on her 18th birthday, but her career was derailed in 2001, when she learned that she, too, had cardiomyopathy. She had a heart transplant in 2008. Last October, when her husband, Tim Ritvo, a former jockey and trainer, became the director of East Coast racing for MI Developments, she said she felt healthy enough to take over his stable. With it came Mucho Macho Man, a promising 2-year-old. He finished seventh on Saturday.

“There’s only a certain amount of horses that get to that level,” Ritvo said.

“And if you’re lucky enough to be associated with one of them, it’s a miracle. It’s a miracle that I’m even here altogether.”

Fox said women like Ritvo and Napravnik, 23, who this year became the first female jockey to win the Louisiana Derby and the first to win a riding title at the storied Fair Grounds, were a sign of what is to come in the industry.

“It’s a lot easier for the girls around the whole business, from training to riding to exercise girls,” Fox said. “The men don’t look at us in that respect anymore. We’re one of the guys. It’s not ‘Oh, she’s a girl’ anymore. Now it’s more ‘She’s a horse person.’

“And it’s going to be a lot easier for the next generation of girls. You see those little kids come out to the racetrack on tours, and it’s always the little girls more so than the boys that want to mess with the horses. And they’re the ones that always want to ride.”

LEGAL NOTICE TRUSTEE'S NOTICE OF SALE Reference is made to that certain deed of trust (the "Trust Deed") dated April 19, 2006, executed by Paul A. Rocheleau and Kathryn G. Rocheleau (the "Grantor") to U.S. Bank Trust Company, National Association (the "Trustee"), to secure payment and performance of certain obligations of Grantor to U.S. Bank National Association (the "Beneficiary"), including repayment of a U.S. Bank Equiline Agreement dated April 19, 2006, in the principal amount of $183,940 (the "Agreement"). The Trust Deed was recorded on May 10, 2006, as Instrument No. 2006-32395 in the official real property records of Deschutes County, Oregon. The legal description of the real property covered by the Trust Deed is as follows: LOT 4 OF BOULDER RIDGE, PHASE ONE, DESCHUTES COUNTY, OREGON. No action has been instituted to recover the obligation, or any part thereof, now remaining secured by the Trust Deed or, if such action has been instituted, such action has been dismissed except as permitted by ORS 86.735(4). The default for which the foreclosure is made is Grantor's failure to pay when due the following sums: monthly payments in full owed under the Agreement beginning July 2010 and each month thereafter; late charges in the amount of $150.00 as of January 27, 2011, plus any late charges accruing thereafter; and expenses, costs, trustee fees and attorney fees. By reason of said default, Beneficiary has declared all sums owing on the obligation secured by the Trust Deed immediately due and payable which sums are as follows: (a) the principal amount of $183,935.70 as of January 27, 2011, (b) accrued interest of $4,926.07 as of January 27, 2011, and interest accruing thereafter on the principal amount at the rate set forth in the Agreement until fully paid, (c) late charges in the amount of $150.00 as of January 27, 2011, plus any late charges accruing thereafter and any other expenses or fees owed under the Agreement or Trust Deed, (d) amounts that Beneficiary has paid on or may hereinafter pay to protect the lien, including by way of illustration, but not limitation, taxes, assessments, interest on prior liens, and insurance premiums, and (e) expenses, costs and attorney and trustee fees incurred by Beneficiary in foreclosure, including the cost of a trustee's sale guarantee and any other environmental or appraisal report. By reason of said default, Beneficiary and the Successor Trustee have elected to foreclose the trust deed by advertisement and sale pursuant to ORS 86.705 to ORS 86.795 and to sell the real property identified above to satisfy the obligation that is secured by the Trust Deed. NOTICE IS HEREBY GIVEN that the undersigned Successor Trustee or Successor Trustee's agent will, on September 22, 2011, at one o'clock (1:00) p.m., based on the standard of time established by ORS 187.110, just outside the main entrance of 1164 N.W. Bond, Bend, Oregon, sell for cash at public auction to the highest bidder the interest in said real property, which Grantor has or had power to convey at the time of the execution by Grantor of the Trust Deed, together with any interest that Grantor or the successors in interest to Grantor acquired after the execution of the Trust Deed, to satisfy the foregoing obligations thereby secured and the costs and expenses of sale. NOTICE IS FURTHER GIVEN that any person named in ORS 86.753 has the right, at any time prior to five days before the date last set for the sale, to have this foreclosure proceeding dismissed and the Trust Deed reinstated by payment to Beneficiary of the entire amount then due (other than such portion of the principal as would not then be due had no default occurred) and by curing any other default complained of herein that is capable of being cured by tendering the performance required under the obligation or Trust Deed and, in addition to paying said sums or tendering the performance necessary to cure the default, by paying all costs and expenses actually incurred in enforcing the obligation and Trust Deed, together with Trustee and attorney fees not exceeding the amounts provided by ORS 86.753. In construing this notice, the singular includes the plural, and the word "grantor" includes any successor in interest of grantor, as well as any other person owing an obligation, the performance of which is secured by the Trust Deed, and the words "trustee" and "beneficiary" include their respective successors in interest, if any. In accordance with the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act, this is an attempt to collect a debt, and any information obtained will be used for that purpose. This communication is from a debt collector. For further information, please contact Cody J. Elliott at his mailing address of Miller Nash LLP, 111 S.W.

DAVID BROOKS

Politicians with good character O

ne reason many politicians behave badly these days is that we spend less time thinking about what it means to behave well. This was less of a problem in past centuries when leaders, teachers and clergy held detailed debates over what it meant to have good character.

In the 18th century, for example, Edmund Burke composed a long, famous passage defining the standards of political excellence: “… To be taught to respect one’s self; to be habituated to the censorial inspection of the public eye; … to have leisure to read, to reflect, to converse; to be enabled to draw the court and attention of the wise and learned, wherever they are to be found; to be habituated in armies to command and to obey; … to be led to a guarded and regulated conduct, from a sense that you are considered as an instructor of your fellow citizens in their highest concerns, and that you act as a reconciler between God and man…”

In the 19th century, Anthony Trollope wrote a series of popular novels fussing over what it means to behave well in political life. Trollope’s view was different than ours. Many Americans today assume that people are born with a good Inner Self but get corrupted by politics.

American voters are always looking for the Innocent Outsider who can come in and bring sweeping change.

Trollope admired Prudent Insiders, not Innocent Outsiders. His most admirable characters have been educated by long experience. They have grown mature by exercising responsibility. They have been ennobled by custom and civilization. In his books, powerless outsiders often behave self-indulgently and irresponsibly.

Those who are in government have to grapple with the world as it really is.

The central tension in Trollope’s novel “Phineas Finn” is between independence and service. The title character is an Irish outsider who comes into Parliament vowing to be true to his individual conscience.

“Let me assure you I wouldn’t change my views in politics either for you or for the Earl,” Finn tells a party leader early on.

But he enters a Legislature filled with insiders, some of whom are virtuous and some of whom are not. Finn has to either chart his own course or allow himself to be put in harness for the good of the common effort.

Trollope seems to have a passing admiration for Finn’s independence. Finn is a charming, good-natured man. But he is never really tested by power. He grades himself on a curve, never really facing up to his weaknesses. Being an amateur in life, he can afford to be unsteady in his affections and rely on good looks instead of strength of character.

Trollope’s ideal politicians — who have names like Plantagenet Palliser, Joshua Monk and the Duke of St. Bungay — put service before independence. Their party and their country have asked them to accept certain duties and face certain problems, and they just get on with it. They are more weighty, but also more boring.

Trollope’s ideal politicians share certain traits. They are reserved, prudent and scrupulous. They immerse themselves in dull practical questions like, say, converting the currency system.

They are not sweeping thinkers, but they make sensitive discriminations about the people and the circumstances around them. Trollope’s ideal leaders are not glamorous celebrities of the sort we have come to long for since JFK. They are more like seamen or carpenters. They are judged by their professional craftsmanship.

They are thin-skinned about any moral transgression they might commit and rigorously honest when judging themselves. They try to make things better but are acutely aware that everything they do might make things worse.

Trollope’s readers would have come away from his books with a certain model for how practical people should behave, which they could either copy or argue with. I’m not sure his exemplars could thrive amid the TV politics of today, which calls for grand promises and bold colors. But there are prudent, reserved people in government even now. And if more people spent their evenings at least thinking about what exemplary behavior means, they might be less likely to find themselves sending out emotionally stunted tweets late at night.

What’s a

college education really worth?

Not much B y Naomi Schaefer Riley Special to The Washington Post

Did Peter Thiel pop the bubble? That was the question on the minds of parents, taxpayers and higher education leaders late last month when the co-founder of PayPal announced that he was offering $100,000 to young people who would stay out of college for two years and work on scientific and technological innovations. Thiel, who has called C O M M E N T A R Y college “the default activity,” told USA Today that “the pernicious side effect of the education bubble is assuming education ‘guarantees’ absolute good, even with steep student fees.”

He has lured 24 of the smartest youth in America and Canada to his Silicon Valley lair with promises of money and mentorship for their projects. Some of these young people have been working in university labs since before adolescence. Others have consulted for Microsoft, Coca-Cola and other top companies. A couple didn’t even have to face the choice of putting off college — one enrolled in college at 12 and, at 19, had left his Ph.D. studies at Stanford to start his own company.

Of course, Thiel’s offer isn’t going to change the way most universities do business anytime soon. These 24 represent the narrowest swath of the country’s college-bound youth. (Though it’s important to note: When we talk about America having the greatest system of higher education in the world, these are the kind of people we’re bragging about.)

Oregon’s fishy water strategy

C

lean water has a price. Oregon’s costs are about to go up.

This week in Pendleton, the Oregon Environmental

Quality Commission is likely to approve new, stricter

rules for clean water in Oregon — stricter to protect a small percentage of the population that eats about six ounces of fish a day.

And stricter based on data that is nearly two decades old.

It’s a big decision to be based on old data. It’s a big decision because of the potential cost. Municipalities, businesses, ranches and farms may have to spend tens of thousands more each per year, according to estimates by the Oregon Department of Environmental Quality. The estimates say “major municipals and industrials” may have to spend $350,000 to $450,000 more per year.

The reason for the change is fish consumption.

Contaminants in water can mean contaminants in fish. The Environmental Protection Agency wants states to set water quality standards that make sense based on how much fish people eat.

Oregon has based its water quality standards on a rate of consumption of 17.5 grams of fish a day. That’s based on national estimates.

EPA says that’s too low. DEQ says that’s too low. And there is some reason to believe some Oregonians eat a lot more fish from Oregon waters.

The most relevant study for Oregon, according to the EPA, is the one that actually surveyed Oregonians.

It was published in 1994 and based on surveys done in 1991 and 1992. It looked specifically at two tribal populations in Oregon — tribal members on the Warm Springs Indian Reservation and the Confederated Tribes of the Umatilla Indian Reservation.

Randomly selected tribal members were asked about their fish consumption. They were shown foam models of fish of 4, 8 and 12 ounces to help them figure out how much fish they eat.

In that survey, the average consumption was found to be 63 grams per day, the EPA said. In the 95th percentile, tribal members ate 176 grams per day — just over 6 ounces of fish a day.

It’s also important that the tribal members are likely to catch fish in Oregon waters that lived in Oregon waters.

The DEQ did not rely only on that survey. But it is the only data for Oregonians. Beyond that survey, there are some non-Oregon studies that show other tribal populations also eat more fish than 17.5 grams a day.

Based on that information, the Environmental Protection Agency said in June of last year that changing to 175 grams per day would be the right thing for Oregon to do to protect those who apparently eat a lot of fish.

The DEQ has now finished writing up rules for the new standard,

We like clean water as much as anybody. But should Oregon base such a big policy decision on data that is only available for tribes and from 1991 and 1992? doing cost estimates and listening to public comment. If the commission does not adopt the change this week, the DEQ says in its staff report that the EPA is more than likely to step in and take over.

We like clean water as much as anybody. But should Oregon base such a big policy decision on data that is only available for tribes and from 1991 and 1992?

Many things have changed since 1992. Eating habits for a lot of Americans have changed in the last 20 years. Perhaps fish consumption for tribal members has changed as well.

In fact, one of the questions that was asked in those 1991 and 1992 surveys was if individual fish consumption had changed over the last 20 years. Some 70 percent said yes.

Of those that said yes, 68 percent said it had gone down.

If Oregon is going to use that survey information as a basis for making policy decisions, doesn’t that mean we should assume that fish consumption has declined? Or is Oregon picking what it likes from the survey?

The point is DEQ is making a big decision for Oregon in a troubled economic climate and it really doesn’t know what’s going on.

Andrea Matzke, who has been in charge of DEQ’s rulemaking for the new water standards, said if the state had better information, it would use it. Why didn’t the state do a study?

Matzke said it was discussed a few years ago. It may have cost the state $100,000, and the DEQ didn’t have the money.

We can think of a lot of Oregonians who might not think that cost would be prohibitive. Tribal members have strong interest. They may be eating more fish. Water departments, businesses, farmers and ranchers need to know they are going to be meeting new clean water requirements for good reason.

The next best thing for Oregon government to do is typically not another study. A study is needed here.

My Nickel’s Worth Bad policy on Israel Let me first say that I am not Jewish and do not support U.S. aid to Israel. That said, I am still outraged by President Obama’s and the Palestinians’ call for Israel to withdraw to the indefensible 1967 boundaries. This is stupid! Here is why: 1. Lasting peace between Israel and the Palestinians cannot come through a unilateral declaration but can only come through negotiations that settle all the outstanding issues to the satisfaction of both sides with mutual respect and security.

2. A majority of U.S. voters rightly oppose a unilaterally declared Palestinian state according to a recent national survey.

3. The Palestinians are seeking recognition for a state that includes in its government Hamas, an Iran-backed, U.S. State Department-designated foreign terrorist organization that is responsible for firing thousands of rockets at civilian targets in Israel.

4. The Palestinians seek recognition of a Palestinian state, while refusing to recognize Israel’s right to exist as a homeland for the Jewish people.

Deserving of death I read with partial satisfaction that Darrell Middlekauff received a life sentence with no possibility of parole for the brutal killing of his wife, Brenda Middlekauff.

Although I don’t fully understand all the legal aspects of the case, Middlekauff’s defense team was able to have the case tried before a judge rather than a jury, affording him a life sentence with or without parole. During the trial, the defense tried to paint a softer side of Middlekauff by stating, “through no fault of his own, [Middlekauff] is a very damaged man.”

Damaged or not, the reality is he knows right from wrong and he knew what he was doing when he took Brenda’s life.

I was outraged by the defense’s censoring of some portions of a statement read by the victim’s sister, Rita Ege, during the sentencing portion of the trial. It seems the criminal has more rights than the victim and the victim’s family!

Unfortunately, Middlekauff did not receive what he truly deserves. He should have received a death penalty sentence. I say that not because I believe the death penalty serves as an effective deterrent for violent crimes such as this one; rather I believe the crime by Middlekauff was so atrocious, so heinous in its nature that he no longer deserves to walk this earth.

I hope the victim’s family can find some satisfaction and closure in Judge Tiktin’s decision.

Stephen Fitzgerald Redmond

Serious financial trouble Patrick Smith, in his June 1 letter to the editor chastising Rep. Greg Walden fails to understand the big picture and

seriousness of our country’s financial problems. Mr. Smith expressed concern about his children not being able to receive the same Medicare benefits he receives. Medicare is a perfect example of politicians making promises without a sustainable way to pay for them.

The Chinese have loaned us money to help pay for these benefits but lately they have begun cashing in their chips.

Mr. Smith should worry about his children’s Medicare benefit because, if we keep on the present course, there won’t be Medicare when they reach age 65.

And his children will also have to pay off the money we borrowed from the Chinese that paid for their father’s Medicare benefits.

The federal government collects more than enough revenue to pay for all its constitutionally mandated responsibilities. There is no reason to raise anyone’s taxes or raise the debt limit when the government spends on things like food stamps, unemployment benefits, National Public Radio, Planned Parenthood and, everyone’s favorite, cowboy poetry.

If people, not politicians, want these things, let the states handle them. Of course, we taxpayers will still pay the bill but at least we will have more control over how our tax dollars are being spent. And if Mr. Smith and his friends feel guilty about not paying their fair share of taxes, with a little initiative on their part this problem can be resolved without more government intervention.

King Hamad of Bahrain, please release my innocent friend!

D

ear King Hamad of Bahrain, Among those whom you’re imprisoning in Bahrain is a friend of mine. He is an artist, one of the most gentle souls alive, and my deepest fear is that your government may be brutalizing him because of his friendship with me.

Your Majesty, I’m speaking of Hassan al-Sahaf. Now 57, he studied in Britain and then in Los Angeles, Boston and in Oregon, where my mother taught art history — and Hassan became one of my mother’s all-time favorite students.

That was 30 years ago, but we have remained in touch ever since.

King Hamad, you present the crackdown on the democracy movement as an effort to restore order. But Hassan is not some teenage firebrand hurling rocks; he’s a slight, graying scholar committed to peace. That’s the pattern: So many of the people in your jails are doctors and intellectuals whose only offense is to dream of democracy.

Hassan told me that his time in America changed him: Once you get used to living in freedom, he explained, it’s hard to give it up. One of your burdens, Your Majesty, is that you educated so many of

your people abroad that they no longer accept your despotism.

Yes, it’s true that Hassan has a Shiite background — like most of Bahrain’s people. You and the rest of the royal family are Sunnis, and you’re scared to death of Shiite extremism and an Iranian-backed Shiite insurgency. You watched how Shiites took power in Iraq and in some cases unleashed death squads, and you’re understandably fearful that democracy would lead to the unraveling of Bahrain and violence against your loved ones. Your brutality arises not from viciousness, I think, but from fear.

But Hassan doesn’t have a chauvinist bone in his body. When he lived in the United States, he married a Jewish woman, although that marriage later fell apart. He has spoken to me warmly of Sunnis.

After his return to Bahrain from America, Hassan taught at Bahrain University. During clashes there, he told me, he protected students who were members of your royal family.

Yet somewhere along the line, your security forces became irritated with him. Hassan has a tremendous sense

NICHOLAS KRISTOF of dignity and refused to kowtow, so your government eventually sent him to prison and tortured him, he said. Twice.

This is exactly the Kafkaesque world that the pro-democracy protesters were trying to abolish.

In February, during my last visit to Bahrain, your troops opened fire without warning on pro-democracy protesters as they chanted “peaceful, peaceful.”

Since then, we’ve seen a violent crackdown that has killed more people and filled the prisons. I just found out that your security forces attacked Hassan’s house and arrested him again.

Your government tells me, with a straight face, that he has been sentenced to a month in prison for failing to pay a debt. We all know that the real reason is the campaign of terror that you have unleashed on Shiites: throwing them into

Hassan is not some teenage firebrand hurling rocks; he’s a slight, graying scholar committed to peace. prison, firing them from their jobs, destroying their mosques, dragging them out of hospital beds, cutting off their scholarships. You want them to know that they will pay an excruciating price if they ever dare push for democracy again. And those like Hassan who are linked to foreign journalists are targeted, to intimidate them into silence.

Is Hassan being tortured now? Well, Your Majesty, you would know better than I. But reports of beatings and rapes in your jails are legion, and at least four of your prisoners have died in custody recently — apparently tortured to death. I saw a doctor whom your forces had beaten into a coma because he had treated injured protesters. I’ve also been told by a released prisoner that wives or sisters have been dragged into prison so the prisoners could be warned that the

women would be raped in front of them unless they “confess.”

King Hamad, you have much to be proud of. You have overseen rising education rates, soaring living standards and exemplary opportunities for women. But it looks as if you are turning Bahrain into another Syria or Iran.

Indeed, your country is much less democratic than Iran, and your crackdown has killed more people on a per capita basis than Iran’s did. If we deplore Iran’s brutality, shouldn’t we also deplore yours?

President Barack Obama met your son the Crown Prince at the White House on Tuesday, and the administration has largely averted its eyes from your brutality. But when you use American weapons on your people, you injure us, too. And a middle-class, well-educated nation like the one you’ve built cannot sustain arbitrary imprisonment and torture indefinitely. The only way forward is to release political prisoners and start a reconciliation process.

Your Majesty, let Hassan go!

O Heed Europe’s warning, Obama ROME — f Americans think fuel and food prices are high, they should try Europe, where both can nearly double those in the United States — while salaries here are often lower.

Italians, like most now-broke Southern European countries, are desperate to privatize bloated public-owned utilities. Politicians are trying to curb pensions, and to encourage the private sector to hire workers and buy equipment, as a way of attracting wary foreigner parents to lend such perpetual adolescents more bailout money.

In theory, Italians accept that they are going to have to be a lot more like the Germans, and less like the Irish, Portuguese and Spaniards. In fact, they may end up like the Greeks, who are still striking and occasionally rioting because too few foreigners wish to continue subsidizing their socialist paradise. Red graffiti on Italian streets still echoes socialist solidarity, while Italian politicians talk capitalism to foreign lenders.

The European Union, like the 19thcentury Congress of Vienna, can point to one achievement — a general absence of war in Western Europe for more than 60 years. Otherwise, almost all its socialist promises of an equality of result are imploding before their eyes.

The higher taxes go, the more people cheat on them, the less revenue comes

I

VICTOR DAVIS HANSON in. There are sometimes two prices in Italy (and often elsewhere in Europe) — the official price that includes a high value-added tax that the unwary pay, and the negotiated, under-the-table, tax-free discount that the haggling shopper obtains.

Europe is essentially defenseless, as governments further trim defense budgets to keep shrinking spread-thewealth entitlements alive. The French and British — the continent’s two premier military powers — have been trying for nearly three months to defeat Muammar Gadhafi’s ragtag nation of less than 7 million, itself rent by civil war. The ancestors of Wellington and Napoleon so far seem no match for Gadhafi or the Taliban. Both nations will soon be leaving Afghanistan in frustration.

Subsidized wind and solar power have not led to much of an increase in European electricity supplies, but they helped to make power bills soar. Highly taxed gas runs about $10 a gallon, ensuring tiny cars and dependence on mass transit. Central planners love the resulting state-subsidized, high-density

European apartment living without garages, back yards or third bedrooms.

Yet the recent Japanese tsunami and accompanying nuclear contamination have reminded European governments that their similarly fragile models of highly urbanized, highly concentrated living make them equally vulnerable to such disasters.

Popular culture may praise the use of the subway and train. But about every minute or two, some government grandee in a motorized entourage rushes through traffic as an escort of hornblaring police forces traffic off to the side. A European technocratic class in limousines that runs government bureaus and international organizations — for example, disgraced former International Monetary Fund chief Dominique Strauss-Kahn — lives like 18thcentury aristocrats at Versailles as they mouth socialist platitudes.

Throughout Western Europe, a subordinate class of unassimilated North African, sub-Saharan African and Pakistani immigrants hawk wares and do menial labor — and are increasingly despised by Europeans as times get rougher. A growing number of the working classes here are getting fed up that the welfare state means skyhigh fuel and food costs for the masses, small and expensive apartments, limited disposable income — and lots of aristocratic perks for the technocrats who oversee the redistributive mess.

The notion of a large and esteemed class of self-made, independent-thinking business people and empowered upper-middle-class entrepreneurs is a concept that seems foreign, if not subversive.

An acknowledged despair now seems to permeate Western Europe. A glorious past is equated with tourist dollars, not appreciation of the European Renaissance or the Enlightenment. Majestic churches are more moneymaking museums or tourist stops than honored hallmarks of past culture and current faith.

European Christendom often helped to preserve humanity through horrific crises, but you would never learn that from the average cynical European, who appears either indifferent to or apologetic about both his religion and the hallowed European origins of Western Civilization, responsible for much of what is good in the world today.

All this European turmoil raises a paradox. If dispirited Europeans are conceding that something is terribly wrong with their half-century-long experiment with socialism, unassimilated immigrants, cultural apologies, defense cuts and post-nationalism, why in the world is the Obama administration intent on adopting what Europeans are rejecting?

Stabilize Afghanistan to prop up Pakistan P TRUDY resident Obama has pledged to start withdrawing U.S. troops from Afghanistan next month, with a goal of pulling all combat troops out by the end of 2014.

He hasn’t yet decided how many troops to pull this year. But since the killing of Osama bin Laden, domestic pressures have grown for him to frontload the drawdown.

If the point was to squash al-Qaida, people ask, why are we keeping thousands of troops in Afghanistan? After all, bin Laden was found in Pakistan. So was top al-Qaida military leader Ilyas Kashmiri, reportedly killed by a drone strike on Friday.

Having just returned from two weeks in Afghanistan and Pakistan, where I talked to U.S., Afghan and Pakistani leaders, I’ve come to a different conclusion: The drawdown should proceed slowly, at least for this year.

The situation in AfPak is far more perilous than is widely understood, but for reasons Obama has failed to explain clearly. The risk is not just that Afghanistan could implode, but that nucleararmed Pakistan could do likewise.

As we saw last week — when militants made an unprecedented attack from Afghanistan into Pakistan — a failed Afghan state could become a haven for Pakistani jihadis who seek to destroy the weak Pakistani state and gain access to its nukes. I sympathize with those who ask what is to be achieved by staying longer in Afghanistan. As the Afghan fighting season begins, and Taliban suicide bombs explode, it’s hard to see signs of progress, especially in a country whose

RUBIN

government is rampantly corrupt.

So let me lay out the U.S. military’s strategy as it was explained to me, with caveats based on my own observations, along with a key reason for a slow withdrawal that Obama has never stated.

First, let’s revisit why we are in Afghanistan. As Gen. David Petraeus put it to me in an interview in Kabul, we’re there “so neither al-Qaida nor other groups can use Afghan soil to carry out transnational extremist attacks on our homeland. The only way (to prevent that) is to help our Afghan partners secure and govern their country … to ensure that transnational extremists can’t set up shop again, and prevent (such) groups from taking control of the country.”

Can we stabilize Afghanistan sufficiently by 2014, the target date set by NATO for withdrawal of combat troops?

Difficult, but not impossible.

The military hopes to consolidate real security gains in the southern provinces of Helmand and Kandahar. This is the Taliban heartland, where U.S. special forces and Army battalions are working with Afghan army and police.

The goal is to thin out U.S. forces very slowly in Helmand and Kandahar, after the current fighting season ends, as Afghan security forces become more capable. That capacity is being bolstered

by additional training in literacy and in leadership skills. Meantime, U.S. special forces carry out night raids targeting Taliban leaders.

The U.S. military is also aiding the creation of local village police forces, under control of district police chiefs, as a force multiplier.

Now come the caveats.

Illiteracy and attrition still pose serious problems to Afghan security forces; the police are notoriously corrupt. So, of course, is the central Afghan government of Hamid Karzai, although progress has been made in securing more competent police chiefs and governors at district levels. Yet despite these caveats, and more, I believe it is essential to limit the troop drawdown this year. Here’s why: Security progress so far is real but not consolidated. Afghan forces could collapse if left on their own too soon. But paired with U.S. troops longer they might gain the confidence to fight on their own.

My trip left me convinced that the much vaunted effort to start talks with the Taliban as an alternative to fighting is a real long shot. There’s little sign the Taliban are interested, nor do Western

interlocutors know who can speak for the Taliban leader, Mullah Mohammed Omar. A sharp pullback now could tell the Taliban there was no need to talk.

But the biggest and most urgent reason to keep the drawdown limited, at least for this year, lies in Pakistan.

Pakistan’s weak civilian government is in disarray, and its military is infiltrated by Islamists. The Pakistani army is having deep trouble fighting its own jihadis. It insists it didn’t know of bin Laden’s presence, which, if true, indicates deep failures in its intelligence agencies.

The stakes are much too high to gamble on a policy that would not only accelerate Afghan collapse but would also risk a Pakistani collapse. Better to withdraw slowly, work to build Afghan security forces, and mend ties with Pakistan’s army. Neither Obama nor Petraeus will say this out loud, but a prime reason we must stabilize Afghanistan is to prevent militants from grabbing Pakistan. That’s reason enough to give the current strategy more time.

What would a world without spelling be like?

By Erin McKean Special to The Washington Post

T

he 275 spellers who gathered in Maryland this past week for the 2011 Scripps National Spelling Bee are well beyond “i before e, except after c.” They’re top-notch orthographic athletes, able to rattle off, in order, the letters of words such as “tchotchke,” “schottische” and “aryepiglottic” without a second thought. But what if correct spelling — a standard ordering of alphabetic characters, used to represent spoken words — didn’t exist?

At one point, English speakers lived in a world without standardized spelling. According to the Linguistic Atlas of Late Medieval English, in the late Middle Ages a word such as “through” could have as many as 500 variant forms, from recognizable formulations such as “thurgh” and “thorough” to more inventive combinations such as “orowe,” “drowg,” “trghug” and “trowffe.” There were pecuniary reasons to use inventive spellings: Lawyers’ clerks were often paid by the inch, and they added superfluous letters to words to pad the bill.

Typesetters, on the other hand, might spell the same word several different ways in the same text to save space.

But not everyone was happy with a free-and-easy approach to spelling. In 1582, an English schoolteacher named Richard Mulcaster put together a book of “the right writing of our English tung,”

including a list of 8,000 words. More than half (“elephant,” “gunpowder” and “glitter,” but not “tung”) are spelled the same way today. Mulcaster was moved to set down his list because he thought that “forenners and strangers… wonder at” English speakers “both for the uncertaintie in our writing, and the inconstancie in our letters.”

There are plenty of folks today who would like to see a world without spelling — or at least without what they see as the quixotic, inconsistent spelling of modern English. Spelling reformers have pointed out the illogic, ambiguity, overcomplication and general messiness of English orthography for nearly 500 years, and their lack of progress in solving any of these issues has not dissuaded them from trying. The last person to have any significant effect on the spelling of standard English was probably Noah Webster, who in 1806’s Compendious Dictionary of the English Language managed to shift “mould” to “mold” and “masque” to “mask” — though he lost the fight on “women” vs. “wimmen” and “ache” vs. “ake.”

Such battles don’t happen everywhere. Speakers of quite a few other languages inhabit a world without correct spelling. Spanish, Italian and German have much more regular orthographies — and not coincidentally, don’t have national spelling bees. But a world in which every English word could take any form

would be a strikingly different place.

In a best-case scenario, we would write every word exactly as we pronounce it.

If orthography faithfully reflected pronunciation, new English speakers would have an easier time, and linguists could more easily track changes in the sounds of English across regions and centuries.

Without a recognized system of standard spelling, elementary education would be turned upside down. No more spelling books, spelling tests or “points off for spelling,” and perhaps a decline in sales of red pens and pencils. Children would learn the simplest possible spellings, such as “Goodnite Moon” instead of “Goodnight Moon.” In place of spelling bees, perhaps we’d see contests for the most creative, beautiful or evocative formulations of words, turning spelling from a chore into an art form. Making ambigrams — words that read the same right side up or upside down — and palindromes would be much easier, too.

In a world without standard spelling, writers would pledge allegiance to different spelling schools. Some would fancy double letters; others would dispense with the silent “e” or add decorative umlauts; romance writers would gravitate toward faux-French endings such as “-eau/x”; and science-fiction writers would use even more of the letters “x” and “q” than they do now. This is not as far-fetched as it sounds: For more than 40 years, the Chicago Tribune ad-

vocated the simplified spelling of words such as “hemloc,” “iland,” “tarif,” “rime,” “philosofy,” “photograf” and “burocrat.”

Some were dropped, but the spellings “thru” and “tho” were used until the mid1970s. And the New Yorker still loves “reëlection.”

Computers, however, might have a harder time. Search engines would struggle to retrieve the right links, although phonological spelling might make it easier to provide relevant results when a Southerner is looking for somewhere to eat in Worcester, Mass.

On the plus side, though, we’d have no more problems with the Cupertino effect — spellcheck software’s tendency to suggest inappropriate words to replace misspellings and words not in its dictionary, such as suggesting “Cupertino” for “co-operation.”

But a world without spelling would also rob us of the pleasure we get from mastering the complicated, illogical English language. There’s a certain satisfaction to sticking the landing on a difficult word such as “silhouette” or “subpoena” or “surreptitious.” English spelling is messy and difficult. As this past week’s spelling bee competitors understand, that’s what we like about it.

The Earth is crowded

Y

ou really do have to wonder whether a few years from now we’ll look back at the first decade of the 21st century — when food prices spiked, energy prices soared, world population surged, tornados plowed through cities, floods and droughts set records, populations were displaced and governments were threatened by the confluence of it all — and ask ourselves: What were we thinking? How did we not panic when the evidence was so obvious that we’d crossed some growth/climate/natural-resource/population redlines all at once?

“The only answer can be denial,” argues Paul Gilding, the veteran Australian environmentalist-entrepreneur, who described this moment in a new book called “The Great Disruption: Why the Climate Crisis Will Bring on the End of Shopping and the Birth of a New World.”

“When you are surrounded by something so big that requires you to change everything about the way you think and see the world, then denial is the natural response. But the longer we wait, the bigger the response required.”

Gilding cites the work of the Global Footprint Network, an alliance of scientists, which calculates how many “planet Earths” we need to sustain our current growth rates. GFN measures how much land and water area we need to produce the resources we consume and absorb our waste, using prevailing technology.

On the whole, says GFN, we are currently growing at a rate that is using up the Earth’s resources far faster than they can be sustainably replenished, so we are eating into the future. Right now, global growth is using about 1.5 Earths.

This is not science fiction. This is what happens when our system of growth and the system of nature hit the wall at once.

“If you cut down more trees than you grow, you run out of trees,” writes Gilding. “If you put additional nitrogen into a water system, you change the type and quantity of life that water can support. If you thicken the Earth’s CO2 blanket, the Earth gets warmer. If you do all these and many more things at once, you change the way the whole system of planet Earth behaves, with social, economic, and life support impacts. This is not speculation; this is high school science.”

It is also current affairs. “In China’s thousands of years of civilization, the conflict between humankind and nature has never been as serious as it is today,” China’s environment minister, Zhou Shengxian, said recently. “The depletion, deterioration and exhaustion of resources and the worsening ecological environment have become bottlenecks and grave impediments to the nation’s economic and social development.” What China’s minister is telling us, says Gilding, is that “the Earth is full. We are now using so many resources and putting out so much waste into the Earth that we have reached some kind of limit, given current technologies. The economy is going to have to get smaller in terms of physical impact.”

We will not change systems, though, without a crisis. But don’t worry, we’re getting there.

We’re currently caught in two loops: One is that more population growth and more global warming together are pushing up food prices; rising food prices cause political instability in the Middle East, which leads to higher oil prices, which leads to higher food prices, which leads to more instability. At the same time, improved productivity means fewer people are needed in every factory to produce more stuff. So if we want to have more jobs, we need more factories. More factories making more stuff make more global warming, and that is where the two loops meet.

But Gilding is actually an eco-optimist.

We will realize, he predicts, that the consumer-driven growth model is broken and we have to move to a more happiness-driven growth model, based on people working less and owning less.

“How many people,” Gilding asks, “lie on their deathbed and say, ‘I wish I had worked harder or built more shareholder value,’ and how many say, ‘I wish I had gone to more ballgames, read more books to my kids, taken more walks?’ To do that, you need a growth model based on giving people more time to enjoy life, but with less stuff.”

Sounds utopian? Gilding insists he is a realist.

“We are heading for a crisis-driven choice,” he says. “We either allow collapse to overtake us or develop a new sustainable economic model. We will choose the latter. We may be slow, but we’re not stupid.”

THE BULLETIN • Sunday, June 12, 2011 F3

O Heed Europe’s warning, Obama ROME — f Americans think fuel and food prices are high, they should try Europe, where both can nearly double those in the United States — while salaries here are often lower.

Italians, like most now-broke Southern European countries, are desperate to privatize bloated public-owned utilities. Politicians are trying to curb pensions, and to encourage the private sector to hire workers and buy equipment, as a way of attracting wary foreigner parents to lend such perpetual adolescents more bailout money.

In theory, Italians accept that they are going to have to be a lot more like the Germans, and less like the Irish, Portuguese and Spaniards. In fact, they may end up like the Greeks, who are still striking and occasionally rioting because too few foreigners wish to continue subsidizing their socialist paradise. Red graffiti on Italian streets still echoes socialist solidarity, while Italian politicians talk capitalism to foreign lenders.

The European Union, like the 19thcentury Congress of Vienna, can point to one achievement — a general absence of war in Western Europe for more than 60 years. Otherwise, almost all its socialist promises of an equality of result are imploding before their eyes.

The higher taxes go, the more people cheat on them, the less revenue comes

I

VICTOR DAVIS HANSON in. There are sometimes two prices in Italy (and often elsewhere in Europe) — the official price that includes a high value-added tax that the unwary pay, and the negotiated, under-the-table, tax-free discount that the haggling shopper obtains.

Europe is essentially defenseless, as governments further trim defense budgets to keep shrinking spread-thewealth entitlements alive. The French and British — the continent’s two premier military powers — have been trying for nearly three months to defeat Muammar Gadhafi’s ragtag nation of less than 7 million, itself rent by civil war. The ancestors of Wellington and Napoleon so far seem no match for Gadhafi or the Taliban. Both nations will soon be leaving Afghanistan in frustration.

Subsidized wind and solar power have not led to much of an increase in European electricity supplies, but they helped to make power bills soar. Highly taxed gas runs about $10 a gallon, ensuring tiny cars and dependence on mass transit. Central planners love the resulting state-subsidized, high-density

European apartment living without garages, back yards or third bedrooms.

Yet the recent Japanese tsunami and accompanying nuclear contamination have reminded European governments that their similarly fragile models of highly urbanized, highly concentrated living make them equally vulnerable to such disasters.

Popular culture may praise the use of the subway and train. But about every minute or two, some government grandee in a motorized entourage rushes through traffic as an escort of hornblaring police forces traffic off to the side. A European technocratic class in limousines that runs government bureaus and international organizations — for example, disgraced former International Monetary Fund chief Dominique Strauss-Kahn — lives like 18thcentury aristocrats at Versailles as they mouth socialist platitudes.

Throughout Western Europe, a subordinate class of unassimilated North African, sub-Saharan African and Pakistani immigrants hawk wares and do menial labor — and are increasingly despised by Europeans as times get rougher. A growing number of the working classes here are getting fed up that the welfare state means skyhigh fuel and food costs for the masses, small and expensive apartments, limited disposable income — and lots of aristocratic perks for the technocrats who oversee the redistributive mess.

The notion of a large and esteemed class of self-made, independent-thinking business people and empowered upper-middle-class entrepreneurs is a concept that seems foreign, if not subversive.

An acknowledged despair now seems to permeate Western Europe. A glorious past is equated with tourist dollars, not appreciation of the European Renaissance or the Enlightenment. Majestic churches are more moneymaking museums or tourist stops than honored hallmarks of past culture and current faith.

European Christendom often helped to preserve humanity through horrific crises, but you would never learn that from the average cynical European, who appears either indifferent to or apologetic about both his religion and the hallowed European origins of Western Civilization, responsible for much of what is good in the world today.

All this European turmoil raises a paradox. If dispirited Europeans are conceding that something is terribly wrong with their half-century-long experiment with socialism, unassimilated immigrants, cultural apologies, defense cuts and post-nationalism, why in the world is the Obama administration intent on adopting what Europeans are rejecting?

SATISFYING READS AT ANY AGE

Revisiting your past in young adult books

By Katie Aberbach

What makes a book ‘young adult’?

The Washington Post

While the mere mention of the whole JacobEdward-Bella love triangle might test your gag reflex, there is one thing everyone can thank “Twilight” for: It’s one of a few recent best-selling series to lure the over-16 crowd back into the exhilarating and provocative world of young adult literature (see also: “The Hunger Games” franchise).

What makes mature adults duck into the YA shelves at the bookstore or click “Teens” on Amazon?

Everybody’s got personal reasons, but here’s one that’s pretty universal: Many YA books are excellent.

They might be even more satisfying now that you’ve survived those melodramatic years.

“What I love about reading young adult books is you get to go back to a time of firsts,” said Meghan Miller Brawley, 29, a librarian and YA fan in Georgia who blogs on Foreveryoungadult.com. “Everything, every day was so important. You get to get caught up in that, but a couple of hours later, you finish the book and you look around, and you’re grown up again. It’s really kind of fantastic, to dip into that world, the emotion, the angst, the uncertainty and come back to real life.”

Some say modern-day YA books are more violent, more upfront about sexuality, more heart-breakingly realistic, than their predecessors a few decades ago. Others believe the material is just as PG-13 — and as much of a guilty pleasure — as it’s always been. You be the judge: Pick a genre you devoured as a kid and check out its modern-day corollaries. Happy (book-report-free) summer reading!

Realistic The halcyon days of youth may seem blissful now, but let’s dwell on adolescent angst for a moment.

First kisses! Football practice!

Cliques! Prom! Books that depict some of these fraught emotional landscapes (and more serious situations, such as fractured families) are YA staples. In realistic fiction these days, “big issues aren’t treated as big issues, and in that

“Basic guidelines are if the main character is under the age of 21, and the book has themes or concepts that apply or are interesting to the same age group,” said Erin Curtis, 31, a Foreveryoungadult.com blogger in Texas. But those rules aren’t hard and fast. Take Markus Zusak’s Holocaust-set and widely lauded “The Book Thief.” In Australia, where it was first published in 2005, it was labeled an adult novel. In the United States, it was sold as a young adult book.

• “What Happened to Goodbye”

by Sarah Dessen (Viking Juvenile): A teen embarks on self-discovery after she moves to a new town with her dad.

• “Hidden” by Tomas Mournian (Kensington): A gay teen shunned by his family struggles for safety and acceptance.

Historical fiction There’s something about prairie families and 19th-century courtships that brings certain readers to their knees. Lots of historical adolescent fiction could fall under the romance umbrella. An equally large chunk of beloved period fiction was about not-so-lovely times, such as the Civil War and the Holocaust. Why? “I think kids like to read about kids who are going through something that’s harder than what they’re going

through,” said Brawley.

If you liked Lucy Maude Montgomery’s “Anne of Green Gables” and Laura Ingalls Wilder’s “Little House on the Prairie,” check out: • “Revolution” by Jennifer Donnelly (Delacorte Books for Young Readers): The lives of a depressed modern-day teen girl and a young woman embroiled in the French Revolution intersect.

If you liked Lois Lowry’s “Number the Stars,” check out: • “Between Shades of Gray”

by Ruta Sepetys (Philomel): A 16-year-old Lithuanian girl is deported to a forced-labor camp in World War II-era Siberia.

Classics Some teens read classics willingly, not just for English class.

Whether or not you enjoyed AP Literature exam-worthy works or even the Brothers Grimm canon back then, the GrownUp You might find modern adaptations for young adults intriguing.

If you liked fairy tales, mythology and classics, check out: • “Jane” by April Lindner (Poppy): A contemporary take on “Jane Eyre” recasts the heroine as a nanny who falls for her employer, a bad-boy rock star.

• “Entwined” by Heather Dixon (Greenwillow): A new spin on a Grimm brothers’ fairytale; a princess and her 12 sisters discover an enchanted pavilion beneath their castle.

• “Abandon” by Meg Cabot (Point): A modern-day teen protagonist moves to a new school

Fantasy “The line between sci-fi and fantasy aimed at teens and scifi and fantasy aimed at adults has always been porous,” said Charlie Jane Anders, an editor at io9.com, a blog that covers science, fantasy and science fiction. Fantasies are often written as series, which is apt; readers can grow up with their fictional counterparts.

If you liked anything from the Robin McKinley or Jane Yolen canons, check out: • “Fire” by Kristin Cashore (Firebird): A prequel to Cashore’s 2008 “Graceling”; an irresistibly beautiful human monster assists the royal family during a civil war.

• “Incarceron” and “Sapphique”

by Catherine Fisher (Firebird): A mix of sci-fi and fantasy, this duo is about a huge sentient prison around which royal politics and intrigue abound.

“Ender’s Game” and Robert Heinlein’s “Starship Troopers,” check out: • “I Am Number Four” by Pittacus Lore (Harper Collins): A teen alien hides out from enemies in small-town USA; a sequel, “The Power of Six,” comes out in August.

• “Behemoth” by Scott Westerfeld (Simon Pusle): This is the latest in the Leviathan series depicting an alternative history of World War I, in which mechanical and genetically engineered creatures face off.

• “Delirium” by Lauren Oliver (HarperCollins): In a future where love is a disease and citizens undergo surgery to cure themselves, one teen questions the practice.

Sci-fi When authors write sci-fi for teens, “they’re willing to go further, in terms of exploring the implications of things like a dystopian future,” including oppressive governments (which many adults would rather not ponder), Anders says. As for the popularity of said dystopian futures — highlighted by the intense interest in “The Hunger Games” — “for reasons that might be obvious, teenagers are eager to explore the possibility that adults could pretty much all be evil.”

A tireless trailblazer Volumes of praise have been heaped upon the work of prolific young adult author Lois Lowry, and for good reason: Her books appeal to adults and teens alike. The Washington Post recently spoke with Lowry, 74, who is working on her fourth follow-up to teen staple “The Giver.”

Since you began writQ: ing in the ’70s, how has young adult fiction changed?

There’s been a huge new A: popularity for young adult fiction, and I don’t know why.

What’s currently very popular has been brought about by the “Twilight” series, and now there are all sorts of vampire-related, supernatural-related books for kids. There’s another phenomenon that I think I might have been one of the early ones (to trigger) when I wrote “The Giver” (in 1993). Now, dystopian novels for young adults are probably the most common genre published.

What can authors of Q: young adult books write about now that they couldn’t have depicted in the past?

plicit sexual content to young adult books. That gradually has changed, and now many of them are very explicit. Contemporary culture has moved in that direction, as well.

Some of your Q: books, like “The Giver,” feel timeless.

Do you think any of your other books are dated?

Some probably are. I was very fond of my Anastasia Krupnik series. I wrote nine books and I could have written more, but suddenly the publisher told me no. They were considered dated at that point, partly because, for example, Anastasia’s father, who is a writer, uses a typewriter.

What did you read as a Q:One young adult? book that I read A: at 11 or 12 was “A Tree Grows in Brooklyn,” which was published as an adult book.

If it were to be written today, it would be published within the young adult genre. “The Catcher in the Rye” was published when I was a teenager. It was published, incidentally, as an adult book, also.

“The Year We Left Home”

by Jean Thompson (Simon & Schuster, 325 pgs., $25)

By Connie Ogle McClatchy-Tribune News Service

The Ericksons, who form the center of Jean Thompson’s terrific new novel, may not be exactly like your family, but many things about their lives are strikingly familiar. The irksome duties.

The simmering discontent. The odd moments of grace. Moving up. Moving on. Comedy. Tragedy. You know, all the things that make up a life, yours, mine, everybody’s.

“The Year We Left Home” is about leaving the place where all this commotion begins, but Thompson also skillfully examines the elements that drag us back to our pasts, no matter how much time has passed or how far we’ve traveled. Unsentimental, enlightening and quietly brilliant, the novel examines three decades in the lives of the Ericksons of Grenada, Iowa, no dirt under their fingernails but still tied to the tough, earlier generations that farmed the land (which makes them vulnerable to the looming economic disaster due to strike farm country in the 1980s.) They are quintessential middle America — blond, stoic, thrifty — and Thompson deftly captures their various discomforts during times of incessant change as the 20th century winds to a close.

Two wars bracket the story set over 30 years, one in Vietnam and the other in Iraq, neither taking center stage but instead indirectly affecting the characters. Each chapter is so finely drawn it could stand as a story, though The Year We Left Home is best absorbed as a whole to appreciate its incisive exploration of how we become who we are and why we come home.

The book opens at a chilly winter wedding in 1973 — two weddings, actually, one with cake in the Lutheran church basement “for those of the bride’s relatives who were stern about alcohol,” and one at the American Legion hall with a bar for everybody else — and ends on the steps of an old family farm in 2003. A man gazes at the old barn and marveling at earlier generations who struggled (and failed) to keep the farm going. “It filled him with holy dread to stand in this place that testified to their grinding, incessant labor.”

In between, we mainly get to know three of the four Erickson offspring: Son Ryan, headed for college and destined to be the most financially successful by stumbling into the tech business at the crest of the Internet wave; his older sister Anita, whose wedding kicks off the novel but doesn’t necessarily bode well for her future happiness, and younger sister Torrie, rebellious and impatient to get out of Grenada and into the wider world.

There’s another son, too, quiet, hands-on Blake. Thompson

paints a blue-collar existence into his future but never provides him with a voice or a moment in the spotlight. Likewise conservative patriarch Randy is only seen through the eyes of others and not always kindly or patiently: “Ryan followed his father inside, wondering when rights had become a swear word.”

But Thompson paints an indelible and poignant portrait of mother Audrey, whose job has always required her to tend to the needs of family first — husband, kids, grandkids, sick cousins.

When things go wrong — and they do; the Ericksons, like most of us, do not get to sail along free of tragedy — Audrey’s role is to pick up the pieces and keep going, no matter how she feels. Mothering proves as unrelenting, difficult and unpredictable as coaxing corn from a fallow field: “If you followed the string back far enough, she was no one’s mother.

But you could only go forward, and so she would always always always be the one who cleaned up the messes, coaxed and threatened and soothed, loved them no matter what they did except she didn’t. It wasn’t one of those things like breathing.”

Also on the fringes of this group is cousin Chip, a boy who loved comic books and science fiction and ended up in Vietnam.

First, the novel is so carefully written. You cannot skip sentences, paragraphs or even words without missing something. Second, the main characters, Judith and Willy, are exquisitely drawn, backward and forward, how they got to be who they are (including prior generations), how they behave when they get what they want and also when they don’t, how they face disappointment, fear, commitment, money, career and finally love.

You cannot skip sentences, paragraphs or even words without missing something. these qualities.

When we first meet Judith, we can hear the brakes screeching.

She is 44, and the wrong turn she took 27 years ago is impeding her forward movement. The banker she married appears to be having an affair with his assistant; her teenage daughter, Camille, is angry that her workaholic parents are never home; Judith, a film editor, is failing for the first time to meet her producer’s expectations; and she’s getting migraine headaches. She finds herself thinking about her late teens, the years she spent with her father in Nebraska after her parents separated. She finds herself thinking about Willy Blunt, the man she loved in those years.

There is no plan to the unraveling. Judith finds herself renting a storage locker near her home in Toluca Lake to hold a maple bed that was hers when she was

a teenager in her father’s home (the bed has a story — Judith and her father restored it together — but Camille doesn’t want it anymore). She sets the bed up in the storage locker and finds herself skipping work to daydream there.

Judith, sarcastic and aloof, was not a likable adolescent, and she’s not a particularly likable adult. But McNeal, chapter by chapter, combs out her knots.

We can see that the serenity she found in her father’s house and the love she shared with Willy, a farm boy and a carpenter, allowed her best self some growing room. And then something happened, something that scared Willy, Judith and her normally unflappable father, and set Judith on the path to college at Stanford and life in Los Angeles with the banker.

Can you go back to that purer, better self? It’s one of the best questions in literature — on the stage of the novel, a writer can stop characters midlife, turn them around, hurl them at the past, watch them shatter or mend. While Judith has been building her storage unit for her better self, Willy has also created a kind of memorial to their time together, a place to contain their life together, truncated as it was

by Judith’s ambition.

“To Be Sung Underwater” is a love story. Judith does go back.

What does she hope to find? Is it too late? Too late for what? Love stories have a terrible gravity, a centrifugal force. McNeal has created characters so dimensional, so memorable, that we are caught up in that urgency. Our rationality is compromised; the rules of the world fade. This is your last chance, Judith, do you hear me? we shout at the flimsy pages. Get yourself back to Rufus Sage, Neb., and fast! There’s not a moment to lose!

Book is a field guide of hope “Olivia’s Birds: Saving the Gulf”

by Olivia Bouler (Sterling Publishing, $14.95)

By Barbara Mahany Chicago Tribune

If you don’t realize right away that you are reading a special book when you pick up “Olivia’s Birds: Saving the Gulf,” a primer that seems like peeking into the journal of a heaven-sent sort of child, you surely realize it when, a few pages in, you read that ducks and waterfowl flap their wings very hard and never take a break.

Or a few pages later, when the 11-year-old writing the book lets on that she was heartbroken when she first heard word of the Gulf oil spill, back in April 2010, and her first thought was of the flocks and flocks of birds.

And so it is that Olivia Bouler, now a sixth-grader in Long Island, N.Y., wasted not a moment and wrote a letter to the Audubon Society, patrons and protectors of the world’s winged flocks. She offered this idea: “I am a decent drawer, and I was wondering if I could sell some bird paintings and give the profits to your organization.”

To date, she has brought in more than $200,000 for the rescue and recovery of thousands of oiled birds, migrating or nesting near the Gulf of Mexico.

Iowa family Carefully written tale looks back weathers 30 at a life that took a wrong turn years of strife “To Be Sung Underwater”

by Tom McNeal (Little, Brown, 436 pgs., $24.99)

By Susan Salter Reynolds Los Angeles Times

“The Year We Left Home”

by Jean Thompson (Simon & Schuster, 325 pgs., $25)

By Connie Ogle McClatchy-Tribune News Service

The Ericksons, who form the center of Jean Thompson’s terrific new novel, may not be exactly like your family, but many things about their lives are strikingly familiar. The irksome duties.

The simmering discontent. The odd moments of grace. Moving up. Moving on. Comedy. Tragedy. You know, all the things that make up a life, yours, mine, everybody’s.

“The Year We Left Home” is about leaving the place where all this commotion begins, but Thompson also skillfully examines the elements that drag us back to our pasts, no matter how much time has passed or how far we’ve traveled. Unsentimental, enlightening and quietly brilliant, the novel examines three decades in the lives of the Ericksons of Grenada, Iowa, no dirt under their fingernails but still tied to the tough, earlier generations that farmed the land (which makes them vulnerable to the looming economic disaster due to strike farm country in the 1980s.) They are quintessential middle America — blond, stoic, thrifty — and Thompson deftly captures their various discomforts during times of incessant change as the 20th century winds to a close.

Two wars bracket the story set over 30 years, one in Vietnam and the other in Iraq, neither taking center stage but instead indirectly affecting the characters. Each chapter is so finely drawn it could stand as a story, though The Year We Left Home is best absorbed as a whole to appreciate its incisive exploration of how we become who we are and why we come home.

The book opens at a chilly winter wedding in 1973 — two weddings, actually, one with cake in the Lutheran church basement “for those of the bride’s relatives who were stern about alcohol,” and one at the American Legion hall with a bar for everybody else — and ends on the steps of an old family farm in 2003. A man gazes at the old barn and marveling at earlier generations who struggled (and failed) to keep the farm going. “It filled him with holy dread to stand in this place that testified to their grinding, incessant labor.”

In between, we mainly get to know three of the four Erickson offspring: Son Ryan, headed for college and destined to be the most financially successful by stumbling into the tech business at the crest of the Internet wave; his older sister Anita, whose wedding kicks off the novel but doesn’t necessarily bode well for her future happiness, and younger sister Torrie, rebellious and impatient to get out of Grenada and into the wider world.

There’s another son, too, quiet, hands-on Blake. Thompson

paints a blue-collar existence into his future but never provides him with a voice or a moment in the spotlight. Likewise conservative patriarch Randy is only seen through the eyes of others and not always kindly or patiently: “Ryan followed his father inside, wondering when rights had become a swear word.”

But Thompson paints an indelible and poignant portrait of mother Audrey, whose job has always required her to tend to the needs of family first — husband, kids, grandkids, sick cousins.

When things go wrong — and they do; the Ericksons, like most of us, do not get to sail along free of tragedy — Audrey’s role is to pick up the pieces and keep going, no matter how she feels. Mothering proves as unrelenting, difficult and unpredictable as coaxing corn from a fallow field: “If you followed the string back far enough, she was no one’s mother.

But you could only go forward, and so she would always always always be the one who cleaned up the messes, coaxed and threatened and soothed, loved them no matter what they did except she didn’t. It wasn’t one of those things like breathing.”

Also on the fringes of this group is cousin Chip, a boy who loved comic books and science fiction and ended up in Vietnam.

“Somehow he’d managed to return from the war unshot, skinnier than ever but somehow bigger, alarming people by the way he looked and the way he acted and the knowledge that now he at least knew how to use a rifle.”

That bit about the gun is indicative of the tidbits of dark humor Thompson scatters effectively throughout “The Year We Left Home,” often using the wayward, roaming Chip, who can’t quite stay away from trouble, as a catalyst. Author of the exceptional story collections “Do Not Deny Me,” “Throw Like a Girl” and “Who Do You Love?,” a National Book Award finalist, Thompson is a master at mining the most ridiculous of human foibles while never losing compassion for her flawed characters.

Hollywood daughter clashes with half sister “Spoiled”

by Heather Cocks and Jessica Morgan (Poppy/ Hachette, 360 pgs., $17.99)

By Susan Carpenter Los Angeles Times

It’s fitting that the characters in a novel titled “Spoiled” would be named Brie, Arugula and Brick, especially since the setting is Hollywood and its authors are professional celebrity skewerers Heather Cocks and Jessica Morgan. The Fug Girls, as they’re known, write the laugh-out-loud fashion faux pas blog Go Fug Yourself.

“Spoiled,” their first youngadult novel, is a natural extension of their talents.

In a book dripping with sarcasm, “Spoiled” charts the collision course of half sisters Molly Dix and Brooke Berlin, who hadn’t known of each other’s existence until Molly’s mother died and the two were forced to live together with their famous dad.

Molly, it’s revealed, is the secret love child of action-star Brick

Berlin, who’d had an affair during filming his blockbuster “Rad Man.” Brooke is Brick’s daughter from a failed marriage. Both girls are almost 16.

It’s an apocryphal, if prescient story line, in light of Arnold Schwarzenegger’s recent love-child revelation — one that’s sure to intrigue Hollywood watchers and fans of fashion-forward fiction. It’s a classic fish-out-of-water tale as Molly moves from the humble environs of West Cairo, Ind., to the posh digs of Bel Air and private-school shenanigans at Colby-Randall Prep.

About the only things Brooke and Molly have in common are daddy’s DNA and subscriptions to Vogue magazine. While Molly knows the difference between Marchesa and Mossimo, Brooke’s the one “flexing the trusty plastic rectangles in her wallet.”

Having a surprise sibling was bad enough for Brooke. Hav-

ing that sister occupy the same sprawling estate is “the worst catastrophe since high-waisted jeans,” and Brooke reacts the way any girl with a closet full of Marc Jacobs and Manolos would: by sabotaging her perceived competition, nonthreatening as Molly may seem in her Converse low-tops and no-name tank tops.

That’s when the promise of this salacious setup goes slightly awry. Being the spawn of an A-list celeb, Brooke is, predictably, popular at school. But Molly, who is also the child of the same A-lister, is immediately relegated to the role of nerdy outsider, which seems unlikely because Brick has proudly taken her in, even orchestrated her debut in the media.

Brick is so famous he has a cologne named after him; he can’t have dinner in public without women asking him to autograph their breasts. Yet Molly is the target of Brooke’s Operation Lose

the Hoosier. She’s the subject of barnyard jokes and pranks at school, like the time her locker is filled with corn husks.

It’s a disconnect that requires readers to take a leap of faith into a story that is basically a tale of sibling rivalry. Cocks and Morgan write like the seasoned L.A. insiders they are, with a fast-paced, gossipy style that pushes Hollywood tropes over the top into parody. The latest Hollywood diet fad is horse tranquilizers from Mexico. The gossip mag Hey! speculates whether Bieber Fever is an actual medical affliction.

With references to TV’s “Project Runway” winner Christian Siriano, Comedy Central superstar Stephen Colbert and other real, modern-day celebs, “Spoiled” probably won’t have much of a shelf life. And the whole book wraps up too quickly without some major subplots being resolved, but it’s a good first effort and a clever, entertaining read that’s sure to make its way into more than a few Missoni beach bags.

H ollywood daughter clashes with half sister “Spoiled”

by Heather Cocks and Jessica Morgan (Poppy/ Hachette, 360 pgs., $17.99)

By Susan Carpenter Los Angeles Times

It’s fitting that the characters in a novel titled “Spoiled” would be named Brie, Arugula and Brick, especially since the setting is Hollywood and its authors are professional celebrity skewerers Heather Cocks and Jessica Morgan. The Fug Girls, as they’re known, write the laugh-out-loud fashion faux pas blog Go Fug Yourself.

“Spoiled,” their first youngadult novel, is a natural extension of their talents.

In a book dripping with sarcasm, “Spoiled” charts the collision course of half sisters Molly Dix and Brooke Berlin, who hadn’t known of each other’s existence until Molly’s mother died and the two were forced to live together with their famous dad.

Molly, it’s revealed, is the secret love child of action-star Brick

Berlin, who’d had an affair during filming his blockbuster “Rad Man.” Brooke is Brick’s daughter from a failed marriage. Both girls are almost 16.

It’s an apocryphal, if prescient story line, in light of Arnold Schwarzenegger’s recent love-child revelation — one that’s sure to intrigue Hollywood watchers and fans of fashion-forward fiction. It’s a classic fish-out-of-water tale as Molly moves from the humble environs of West Cairo, Ind., to the posh digs of Bel Air and private-school shenanigans at Colby-Randall Prep.

About the only things Brooke and Molly have in common are daddy’s DNA and subscriptions to Vogue magazine. While Molly knows the difference between Marchesa and Mossimo, Brooke’s the one “flexing the trusty plastic rectangles in her wallet.”

Having a surprise sibling was bad enough for Brooke. Hav-

ing that sister occupy the same sprawling estate is “the worst catastrophe since high-waisted jeans,” and Brooke reacts the way any girl with a closet full of Marc Jacobs and Manolos would: by sabotaging her perceived competition, nonthreatening as Molly may seem in her Converse low-tops and no-name tank tops.

That’s when the promise of this salacious setup goes slightly awry. Being the spawn of an A-list celeb, Brooke is, predictably, popular at school. But Molly, who is also the child of the same A-lister, is immediately relegated to the role of nerdy outsider, which seems unlikely because Brick has proudly taken her in, even orchestrated her debut in the media.

Brick is so famous he has a cologne named after him; he can’t have dinner in public without women asking him to autograph their breasts. Yet Molly is the target of Brooke’s Operation Lose

the Hoosier. She’s the subject of barnyard jokes and pranks at school, like the time her locker is filled with corn husks.

It’s a disconnect that requires readers to take a leap of faith into a story that is basically a tale of sibling rivalry. Cocks and Morgan write like the seasoned L.A. insiders they are, with a fast-paced, gossipy style that pushes Hollywood tropes over the top into parody. The latest Hollywood diet fad is horse tranquilizers from Mexico. The gossip mag Hey! speculates whether Bieber Fever is an actual medical affliction.

With references to TV’s “Project Runway” winner Christian Siriano, Comedy Central superstar Stephen Colbert and other real, modern-day celebs, “Spoiled” probably won’t have much of a shelf life. And the whole book wraps up too quickly without some major subplots being resolved, but it’s a good first effort and a clever, entertaining read that’s sure to make its way into more than a few Missoni beach bags.

TREASURY SECRETARY PROFILE

Timothy Geithner: The quiet persuader

DESCHUTES COUNTY

By Zachary A. Goldfarb The Washington Post

Foreclosures surge 287% Banks are picking up the pace after federal scrutiny of automated systems

WASHINGTON — During the dark days that began Timothy Geithner’s tenure as Treasury secretary, he was constantly under fire, accused of bailing out Wall Street instead of helping ordinary Americans. With lawmakers from both parties calling for him to resign, it was an open question whether he’d last the year.

Geithner recounted for colleagues what his teenage daughter told him: If you were in Iraq, people would at least understand you were trying to help the country.

Geithner has not only survived but quietly gained influence, which he has used to press President Barack Obama to curb the nation’s soaring debt even at the expense of spending that might more directly spur employment.

His success at driving the agenda signals his status as the president’s closest economic counselor. With the departure this summer of Austan Goolsbee as chairman of the Council of Economic Advisers, Geithner will be the last remaining member of the president’s original economic team and, with Federal Reserve Chairman Ben Bernanke, one of the two remaining architects of the great banking bailout that began in 2008, even before Obama’s election.

Geithner, who was once a registered Republican and then an independent, has a faith in the marketplace that puts him at odds with many of Obama’s traditional Democratic allies, whose skepticism about markets seemed vindicated by the financial crisis.

oreclosure notices filed in April soared by 287 percent in Deschutes County and by 236 percent statewide in Oregon, according to the Bratton Report released Wednesday.

The big surge in default filings reflect a backlog of foreclosures that had been stalled since last fall by federal regulators who questioned the validity of automated processing and other practices used by some banks and service companies, according to Jeremy Cowan of the Bratton Appraisal Group of Bend.

However, Cowan said preliminary data on foreclosure filings for May indicate the April surge may be a temporary blip caused when Bank of America and other banks renewed foreclosures following regulatory pressure placed on big banks to hold off on foreclosures that were in the pipeline in late 2010 and early 2011. “Many of the notice of defaults that

At the national level, however, April foreclosure filings dropped 2 percent, reflecting the disparity between the recovery of housing markets nationwide compared to the hardest hit states, including Oregon, Nevada, Arizona, California and Florida.

April surge of 581 foreclosure filings marks a new high since the housing crisis at the end of 2007 that triggered the recession of 2008-09, according to the report.

The notice of default (foreclosure) filings in Deschutes County previously peaked at 405 in March 2010 and remained between 295 and 356 until November, when foreclosure notices dropped off in response to federal regulatory actions, according to the Bratton Report.

Rising home prices report’s silver lining The Bulletin

Despite a sharp rise in foreclosure rates, prices for single-family homes rose in April for the third straight month. Other statistics on home sales, including the number sold, days on the market and other factors show the housing market in the Bend area appears to be bottoming out, according to the Bratton Report for April. “We do appear to be bumping along the bottom of the market,� said Jeremy Cowan of the Bratton Appraisal Group, which produces the Bratton Report quarterly based on home sales data from the Multiple Listing Service for the Bend area.

Median home prices were also up slightly in Jefferson County, but dropped in other areas of Central Oregon, including Redmond, Sisters, Sunriver, La Pine and Crook County, according to the report.

For single-family residential properties in the Bend area, April’s median price was $197,000, up from $189,000 in March, $173,000 in February and the decade low of $168,000 in January. In April 2010 the median price was $180,000, according to the Bratton Report.

In addition to the higher sales

Inside • Charting the ups and downs of the local housing market, Page G5 prices, Cowan said real estate sales agents consider a sharp drop in the number of days on the market — from 129 in March to 95 in April — as a positive sign that the market may be near the bottom and turning upward.

‘Bottoming process’ “Most real estate professionals look at the (single-family home) median price charts to see which direction values are trending,� Cowan said. “As you can see, we appear to be in a bottoming process and the large declines that occurred in 2008 and 2009 are leveling out. “I believe this is a great time to buy a house as prices are very affordable and interest rates are still extremely low,� Cowan said.

In the Bend area, a total of 134 single-family homes sold in April, down from 152 in March, which matched the April 2010 number, according to the report.

Economic Forum at the University of Oregon, said the delay in foreclosures that occurred from November through March due to federal regulatory concerns over automated processes and other factors, may have actually kept home prices in Deschutes County and other hard-hit areas from dropping more during that period.

With a reported 581 of delayed and new foreclosures hitting in Deschutes County in April and likely to continue to hit over the next couple of months, Duy said he anticipates home prices could take another dip in May and June. “I think the banks and (mortgage) service companies are trying to get back on the ball and process some of these foreclosures,� Duy said.

As the rush of foreclosed houses come on the market again, Duy said it is likely to put downward pressure on housing prices.

While the expected lower prices could be bad news for banks and property owners, Duy said there’s also a silver lining because the lower prices make home ownership more affordable for young families and others who may not have otherwise been able to afford a home in the Bend area.

Amazon standing firm on sales taxes

By Amy Martinez The Seattle Times

SEATTLE — Amazon.com Chief Executive Jeff Bezos left little doubt that the company will stand its ground against efforts in many states to require the Internet giant to charge sales taxes on their behalf. “We think our position is a good one,� Bezos said at Amazon’s annual shareholder meeting in downtown Seattle. “And we’ll stick with that.�

Bezos also downplayed the possible threat to Amazon’s edge against traditional stores if it’s forced to collect sales taxes in more states. He noted that Amazon already does at least half of its business in places where it collects sales taxes or something

similar, such as Europe’s valueadded tax.

Amazon long has argued that requiring Internet retailers to navigate the varied rules and rates of more than 7,500 local taxing jurisdictions would be too burdensome.

Bezos reiterated his support of federal efforts to minimize the many differences among states on sales-tax collection from Internet retailers. Asked by one shareholder to look ahead 10 years, Bezos said, “I believe we’ll have the simplified sales-tax initiative passed.� “I hope it might happen much sooner than that,� he added. “It’s the right thing to do, and I think it would be great for Amazon.�

U S DA school nutrition proposal Report documents dramatic shift in immigrant workforce gets under potato growers’ skins

By Tara Bahrampour The Washington Post

By Erika Bolstad McClatchy -Tribune News Service

WASHINGTON — The new American symbol for a healthy diet is laden with vegetables, and it includes plenty of room on the plate for Idaho potatoes.

The dinner plate-based guide from the U.S. Department of Agriculture released last week, which replaces the food pyramid that’s been in place for two decades, is divided into four parts.

Fruits and vegetables take up half the space; grains and proteins make up the other half.

“The overall message is very simple, and I applaud the effort to make people understand that fruits and vegetables should be half your meal,” said Frank Muir, the president and chief executive of the Idaho Potato Commission. “I’d also encourage people to make sure they’re using the right-sized plate.”

But he’s less thrilled with a new USDA school nutrition

proposal, which calls for fewer potatoes to be served with school breakfasts and lunches.

Its aim is to cut down on how many french fries kids eat — and to replace them with green vegetables.

Members of Congress have taken up the food fight, too. Last month, 40 Republicans and Democrats in Congress questioned the USDA’s proposal to cut back on potatoes and other starchy vegetables in school meals.

2 servings per week In a letter to Agriculture Secretary Tom Vilsack, they objected to guidelines that limit potatoes in school meals to about two servings a week. The Institute of Medicine, the health arm of the independent, nonprofit National Academy of Sciences, drew up those guidelines for the USDA. The guidelines in particular

call for increases in the amounts of green and orange vegetables and legumes that kids eat at school. But many lawmakers, particularly Republicans, have raised concerns that the guidelines will raise the prices of school lunches.

They also question whether simply cutting out potatoes will prod kids into eating more orange and green vegetables.

“I think the natural reaction from most people is to look at this new policy and shake their head and say, ‘What are you doing here?’” said Rep. Jean Schmidt, R-Ohio, who heads the Nutrition and Horticulture Subcommittee of the House Agriculture Committee, and who authored the letter.

Potatoes can be a delicious way to provide potassium, fiber and other key nutrients in the school nutrition standards, the lawmakers argued in their letter to Vilsack.

Highly skilled temporary and permanent immigrants in the United States now outnumber lower-skilled ones, marking a dramatic shift in the foreignborn workforce that could have profound political and economic implications in the national debate over immigration.

This shift in America’s immigration population, based on census data, is summarized in a report released Thursday by the Brookings Institution. It found that 30 percent of the country’s working-age immigrants, regardless of legal status, have at least a bachelor’s degree, while 28 percent lack a high school diploma.

The shift had been in the works for the past three decades, a period that has seen a dramatic increase in the population born outside the United States. But in 2007 the percentage of highly skilled workers overtook that of lower-skilled workers.

The trend reflects a fundamental change in the structure and demands of the U.S. economy, which in the past decades transformed from an economy driven by manufacturing to one driven by information and technology. The report also offers a new perspective on the national immigration discourse, which tends to fixate on low-skilled, and often illegal, workers.

“Too often the immigration debate is driven by images on television of people jumping over fences,” said Benjamin Johnson, executive director of the American Immigration Council, which advocates for immigration reform. “The debate has been stuck in the idea that it’s all about illegal and lowskilled workers.”

Steven Camarota, director of research at the Center for Immi-

“We’ve got an oversupply of highly skilled workers coming into this country. New college graduates are faring very poorly on the labor market, and what the report is telling us is that we’re bringing in a high number of workers to compete with them.”

— Steven Camarota, director of research, Center for Immigration Studies gration Studies, an organization that advocates for tighter immigration restrictions, said the report raises other concerns.

“It seems, based on this and other studies, that we’ve got an oversupply of highly skilled workers coming into this country,” he said, adding that the study’s findings were not surprising. “New college graduates are faring very poorly on the labor market, and what the report is telling us is that we’re bringing in a high number of workers to compete with them.”

The study based its findings on the 2009 American Community Survey, administered by the Census Bureau, as well as data from the bureau’s Current Population Survey that go back to 1980.

As the number of working-age immigrants in the United States has swelled, from 14.6 million in 1994 to 29.7 million in 2010, the numbers of highly skilled and lower-skilled immigrants have risen, but the highly skilled sector has risen faster, according to the report. Among the causes

are the recent rise in the number of international students and of temporary H-1B visas, for which a bachelor’s degree is usually required, the report said.

The shift accelerated in the past decade, with nearly a third of working-age new arrivals in the 2000s coming with college degrees, the report said.

The report found that immigrants’ skill levels varied in different geographic locations, with coastal cities and established “gateway” metropolitan areas attracting more highly skilled immigrants, while areas near the U.S.-Mexico border draw more low-skilled immigrants.

Workers from Mexico and Central America tend to be lower skilled, while India, China and the Philippines send many more highly skilled workers than lower-skilled one, said Audrey Singer, a senior fellow at Brookings who co-wrote the study.

With its universities, international agencies, hospitals and technology companies, the Washington metropolitan area is one of the top magnets for educated immigrants, with 189 highly skilled immigrant workers for every 100 lower-skilled ones, according to the study.

“D.C.’s pretty diverse in terms of skills they’re bringing in and where they’re coming from,” Singer said.

Other high concentrations of college-educated immigrants include San Jose, Calif., and Seattle.

The study also found that half of highly skilled immigrants in the United States are working in jobs for which they are overqualified.

“Education credentials and language are big hurdles,” said Matthew Hall, a University of Illinois sociology professor who co-wrote the report.

Amazon Continued from G1 The Supreme Court ruled in 1992 that Internet retailers do not have to collect a state’s sales tax unless they have a local physical presence, such as a store. As a result, Seattle-based Amazon collects sales taxes in only five states: Kansas, Kentucky, New York, North Dakota and Washington.

Amazon has closed or threatened to halt construction of warehouses in Texas, Tennessee and South Carolina rather than give in to efforts to make it collect sales taxes, and it has severed business relationships in other states that passed new sales-tax laws.

The Alliance for Main Street Fairness, a retail coalition that includes Wal-Mart, took out an ad in Tuesday’s Seattle Times saying Amazon’s stance hurts small businesses and local communities. The alliance argues that Amazon enjoys an unfair price advantage over traditional stores that must collect sales taxes.

For the past two years, Amazon has fought a surge of state legislative proposals that seek to make Internet retailers collect sales taxes by expanding the definition of “nexus,” the legal term for physical presence.

These proposals declare that Internet retailers have nexus if

they do business through local online affiliates, meaning blogs and other websites that link to products sold on Amazon. Since 2009, Amazon has cut ties with thousands of affiliates in such states as Illinois, North Carolina and Rhode Island.

Meanwhile, U.S. Sen. Dick Durbin, a Democrat from Illinois, is expected to introduce legislation that could put an end to untaxed online sales.

Alliance for Main Street Fairness spokesman Danny Diaz called Bezos’ support of a federal solution “disingenuous and convoluted.”

“They say they support federal legislation, but they’re fighting tooth and nail to maintain exceptions in states across the country,” Diaz said. “Their entire business model is based on sales-tax avoidance. They’ll do everything and anything to maintain that advantage.”

Separately, Amazon said stockholders rejected a proposal

by Calvert Asset Management for more disclosure about how the company is dealing with climate change.

Calvert argued that more disclosure is needed because climate change could affect many parts of Amazon’s business.

Amazon opposed the measure, saying that preparing a climatechange report would not be “an efficient use of time and resources.” The company did not give detailed voting results.

Treasury Secretary Timothy Geithner was able to persuade President Barack Obama to sign on to $4 trillion in deficit reduction over 12 years.

Wrong, Romer snapped back.

Stimulus is an “antibiotic” for a sick economy, she told Geithner.

“It’s not giving a child a lollipop.”

In the end, Obama signed into law only a relatively modest $13 billion jobs program, much less than what was favored by Romer and many other economists in the administration.

“There was this move to exit fiscal stimulus a lot sooner than we should have, and we’ve been playing catch-up ever since,” Romer said in an interview.

Some of Obama’s Democratic allies felt let down. Andrew Stern, former president of the Service Employees International Union, said in an interview that Geithner looks at the world “from his experience, which is predominantly a Wall Street, Treasury, fiscal and monetary policy point of view.”

Even as Geithner stumbled in his first months, Obama stood by him. And they grew closer, their relationship nurtured by daily meetings and occasional basketball games. “They don’t get worked up when things are going wrong. They don’t get worked up if things are going well,” a senior White House official said.

The good news By the middle of last year, Geithner’s fortunes had shifted.

Even the gargantuan bailout of American International Group by the federal government wasn’t looking so bad anymore. Last summer, Jim Millstein, an investment banker assigned to oversee Treasury’s rescue of AIG, walked into Geithner’s office with good news: Taxpayers were going to

get their investment in AIG back, and maybe a profit.

“Get the [expletive] out,” Geithner responded. “I haven’t had any good news on AIG.” In reality, this was one in a series of successes Geithner was enjoying. Banks were paying back hundreds of billions of bailout dollars to the government. Ambitious legislation to overhaul financial regulation had finally passed Congress. The financial system was on the mend.

And Geithner’s influence with the president was growing on a wide range of issues, including sanctions on Middle East regimes and policy toward China.

Buoyed by his successes, Geithner felt ready to fire the administration’s first salvos in the debt war last summer.

Republicans were pushing for an extension of tax cuts for the wealthy enacted during George W. Bush’s presidency. It was administration policy to oppose extending them, but neither White House advisers nor congressional Democrats, facing tough midterm elections, wanted to engage in a tax fight.

Geithner, however, believed the tax cuts were a waste of money at a time of growing deficits and began giving speeches about the importance of letting them expire.

When the Republicans won the midterm elections, Obama nego-

tiated a deal with GOP leaders to extend the tax cuts in exchange for other measures that would stimulate the economy.

Though Geithner agreed with the deal, he was deeply concerned that the government had not yet taken substantial steps to reduce the debt. In part, he worried about whether the government would have enough money to invest in long-term economic growth or pay for programs like Medicare and Social Security.

“Unless you put in place a longterm fiscal framework, you’re not going to be able to defend a level of entitlement benefits that this president would like to be able to support,” Geithner said.

By the start of the year, the economic team had closed ranks around the need for deficit reduction. Gone were Summers, Orszag and Romer. Gene Sperling, a Geithner counselor, took over as head of the National Economic Council, and Jacob Lew was named budget director. Both had helped turn deficits into surpluses while working in the Clinton administration. Goolsbee became chairman of the Council of Economic Advisers.

Yet there were still divides.

Obama’s advisers now disagreed about when the president should roll out a deficit reduction plan and how far it should go. Geithner pushed Obama to “lean forward,”

according to several participants, cutting the deficit as much as possible as fast as possible. “Plan beats no plan,” Geithner would say, a phrase he has used in situations ranging from the financial crisis to cutting off the funding of terrorists.

By contrast, the president’s political advisers thought the president should go slow. They wanted to see what a bipartisan group of senators who were negotiating over the deficit would recommend and wait until Republicans unveiled their own plan.

“Tim was one of those advocating not to wait. You can’t wait.

Do something in the State of the Union,” said Daley, the White House chief of staff. But Obama did wait, only briefly mentioning deficit reduction in the address.

Deficit reduction Geithner also wanted to work out details of overhauling Medicare and Social Security and urged that the administration propose reducing the deficit by $4 trillion over 10 years.

Other advisers questioned whether that much in deficit reduction was necessary. Aides asked: Would it require too many cuts? Might the economy recover faster, lessening the need for cuts?

By April, Geithner had gotten Obama to sign on to $4 trillion in deficit reduction, but not quite as fast as the Treasury secretary hoped. Obama’s advisers thought it would take too many cuts in government spending to achieve the reductions in 10 years. They decided they would announce a framework to chop $4 trillion over 12 years.

“Because of his experience managing the financial crisis, he brings enormous credibility on market confidence,” Sperling said.

“When he warns there is true risk to the economy, he is seen as being almost above politics, and that helps focus people on the task at hand.”

Special to The Washington Post

We’ve all had to deal with setbacks at work. What differentiates us is how we deal with them.

Maybe we were passed over for the promotion we wanted, lost an important client, found our business not taking off as quickly as we’d like or coped with a computer crash that lost the last five years of work. Setbacks can seem to block our progress forward.

While understanding your feelings is important, you can’t spend an enormous amount of time dwelling on them. Being sad or upset is one thing; being stuck in denial or spending years whining is another.

Here are some ways to bounce back quickly: • Give yourself time to deal with your feelings. It’s natural to be upset, angry or sad when experiencing a setback.

• Accept that there will be challenges and obstacles. Expect them. Your major goals can withstand setbacks from

time to time. Tell yourself that the setback is just temporary and that the future is brighter ahead. Your positive perspective really does make a difference.

• Anticipate obstacles and try to have a contingency plan for them. If you prepare for them, you are viewing them as opportunities for growth rather than failures.

• Once you experience a setback, try to look at it objectively. Assess the situation to learn from it. Write down why you think the setback occurred and what you expected to happen.

• Ask for help from trusted friends, colleagues or others.

Outsiders often give a fresh perspective.

• Get a mentor and a coach.

A mentor in your line of work who has been successful has probably had to face some of the same challenges. In addition, find a coach outside of your area of work, one who can share how other business leaders have responded.

• Identify what steps you can

take to overcome the setback based on feedback from others and your own views.

• If you are a leader in a firm or the owner of a business, keep a positive outlook.

Employees look to the leader when they form their views.

If you look anxious and depressed, chances are they will look the same.

This doesn’t mean you should fake your smile — there may be things you can share with them, but you still have to project hope for the future.

Otherwise, why should they stay?

One executive I coached realized he would have to lay off some employees. He was severely depressed because he felt as if they were family and would hide in his office.

We discussed how important it was that he communicate with workers, listen to their views and project optimism about the firm’s future.

His employees let him know that they appreciated his being available to talk with and his

message of hope.

• Maintain your emotional cool. Be calm and confident.

You may be stressed, frustrated, angry or sad, but you must keep these feelings in check.

Take deep breaths, go for a short walk or do something else to get out of the situation.

• Pull out your sense of humor. Laughter really does help ease tension and keep everyone from dwelling on the negative.

• Get away from the issue to put it in perspective, through exercise, a drive or doing something pleasant. You’ll come back to the problem with a fresh view.

• Be persistent. Setbacks may force us to take detours but at least we are still moving forward. We just have to remember to see it that way.

Joyce Russell is the director of the Executive Coaching and Leadership Development Program at the University of Maryland’s Robert H. Smith School of Business.

Foreclosures Continued from G1 For the first three months of 2011, default filings in the county declined from 193 in January to 176 in February and 150 in March, according to the report.

Tim Duy, director of the Oregon Economic Forum at the University of Oregon, also said the April surge in default filings is a result of banks and mortgage service companies clearing up a backlog of foreclosures created by federal scrutiny of automated filings and other questionable foreclosure practices.

“I think what you are seeing is the foreclosures are going up as the banks and service companies and mortgage holders are clearing up some of their processing practices,” Duy said.

“I don’t think you’ve had any significant changes in the housing market,” Duy said.

Cowan pointed out that the Bratton report shows foreclosure rescissions peaked in March, one month before the banks opened the floodgate on renewed foreclosure filings.

“Bank of America was the major contributor statewide and also locally to the spike in the notice of defaults. The majority of (April) filings came from

Recon Trust, which is the arm of Bank of America,” Cowan said.

He said the Bratton Report also shows banks have significantly reduced the number of rescissions on properties that have received notice of default.

“The result is that it appears that in April, banks aggressively reduced the number of refiled notices of default from backlogged rescissions that occurred over the past three months,” Cowan said.

“This trend is will likely continue through May and June, albeit at a much slower pace.”

In fact, he said, the notice of default numbers for the first week of May were around 80 and — if that pace continues — the number of defaults would total around 300 for the month.

Bratton Continued from G1 In other elements of the Bratton Report, the median price per square foot for single-family residences continued to climb for the fourth consecutive month to $107, up from $99 in March and February, $95 in January and a decade low of $94 in December of 2010, Building permits also rose to 33 in April, up from 28 in March and more than double February’s decade-low 16.

The greatest volume of Bendarea single-family home sales over the past 12 months, by price, was 478 properties priced between $100,000 and $150,000, followed by 386 properties priced between $150,00 and $200,000. A total of 250 homes priced between $200,000 and $250,000 sold during the same period, 147 priced between $250,000 and $300,000, 131 priced between $300,000 and $350,000, and 104 priced between $350,000 and $400,000.

In Redmond, the report showed median sales prices for singlefamily residential properties dropped from $115,000 in March to $106,000 over the past 12 months, near the decade low of $64,000 reported in February.

Redmond building permits dropped from two in March to one in April.

The largest volume in singlefamily home sales in Redmond was 295 in the $100,000 to $150,000 price range, followed by sales of 226 homes priced under $100,000 and 118 homes sold in the $150,000 to $200,000

price range.

In Sisters, the median singlefamily residential price dropped from $292,000 in the fourth quarter of 2010 to $173,000 in the first quarter of 2011, but the number of sales rose from 19 to 26, while the number of days on the market increased from 146 to 169.

Sunriver median home prices dropped from $379,000 in the fourth quarter of 2010 to $330,000 in the first quarter of 2011. The number of home sales fell from 22 to 21, and the number of days on the market increased from 228 to 265, according to the report.

La Pine also posted a decline in median home prices, which fell from $87,000 in the fourth quarter of 2010 to $75,000 in the first quarter of 2011. The number of sales fell from 24 to 17, and the days on the market increased from 81 to 113.

Jefferson County posted an increase in median home prices from $66,000 to $73,000, with a slight increase in the number of home sales from 24 to 26. Days on the market also improved with a drop from 134 days to 100 days from the fourth quarter of 2010 to the first quarter of 2011.

Crook County median home prices dropped from $87,000 to $71,000, the number of home sales dropped from 56 to 50, and the number of days on the market rose from 88 to 139 from the fourth quarter of 2010 to the first quarter of 2011, according to the report.

A Chrysler comeback looks possible with new Journey

Whining, balky truck needs a fresh starter

By Brad Bergholdt McClatchy-Tribune News Service

Q:

By Warren Brown Special to The Washington Post

I’ve been going through the Chrysler Group’s products looking for improvements, trying to determine whether the company — reformed after its 2008 financial failure and federal bailout — has a chance to make it in an unmercifully competitive enterprise.

I’m not yet humming the theme to “Rocky.” But I’ve found reason for hope so far.

Consider the 2011 Journey, a midsize crossover-utility vehicle produced by the Dodge division. It is a substantially revised and improved version of its former self.

The Journey was a mediocre affair when reviewed in this space in 2008 as a 2009 model. It was the equivalent of a term paper with an A-plus theme executed with C-minus effort.

The size was right — big enough to comfortably transport a family of five on a long road trip.

Anticipation of user needs was on target. FamiR E V I E W lies driving long distances need convenient storage bins for stuff. The Journey was loaded with those, including under-seat storage compartments. There was connection access for all those electronic things we now deem necessary.

But the first Journey was miserable in too many of its particulars.

Interior and exterior styling, the lowlights of which were cheapfeel plastics and other interior materials, were lackluster. The performance of the 2.4-liter in-line four-cylinder engine (173 horsepower, 166 foot-pounds of torque) in the predecessor base Journey SE ranged from underwhelming to mildly competent. A 3.5-liter V-6 engine offered in that period’s upper-level Journeys (SXT and R/ T) was slightly better.

Now there’s a new Dodge Journey — in this case, the allwheel-drive Journey Crew driven for this column — from a new Chrysler.

Fit, assembly quality, exterior paint finish and interior material quality are all measurably better. Close your eyes. Feel the control knobs on the instrument panel. The hard plastic knobs have been replaced by soft vinyl pieces. Leather seating surfaces smell and feel rich. Class has mated vigorously with convenience in revised interior styling.

The multiple storage bins remain.

But the entire interior of the 2011 Dodge Journey Crew feels less

My truck has begun to make a really strange sound sometimes when I try to start it. The normal sound of the starter is replaced by a high pitched zinging sound, and the engine doesn’t start. If I try starting it several times, it usually catches and the engine starts.

What’s up with this?

— Adam Heller This is an easy one! It appears from your description that the drive, an internal component of the starter, is beginning to fail. The starter drive assembly, a renewable part within the starter, contains the starter’s pinion gear and a one-way clutch. When in operation, the pinion gear pushes forward to engage teeth on the engine’s flywheel or flex plate, providing a gear reduction in the neighborhood of 20 to 1.

This means the starter spins at about 20 times the speed of the engine (about 200 rpm to 4000 rpm) while cranking. The one-way clutch within the drive allows the starter to drive the engine, but prevents the engine from driving the starter.

Why the clutch? If the starter didn’t disengage from the engine upon startup, either due to operator error or mechanical or electrical failure, the starter would be spun to perhaps 30,000 rpm or faster, resulting in a huge electrical nightmare and possibly an explosion. When driven, the starter becomes a generator providing a sizeable and unregulated power source; it could even come apart due to the very high rotational speed.

A:

Courtesy Dodge

Compared to the 2009 model, the 2011 Dodge Journey midsize crossover-utility vehicle is sharper and more elegant — and a mild makeover of the front helps soften the vehicle’s boxlike structure.

2011 Dodge Journey Base pricing: $28,445 (Express) Price tested: $30,660 (Crew) Type: Front-engine midsize crossover-utility vehicle with four side doors and a rear liftgate Engines: Standard in the Express is a 2.4-liter in-line four-cylinder with four valves per cylinder and variable valve timing mated to a four-speed automatic transmission that also can be shifted manually.

The Crew comes with a 3.6liter, 24-valve V-6 engine with variable valve lift and timing mated to a six-speed automatic transmission that also can be shifted manually

like a school bus and more like a limousine.

The 2.4-liter in-line, four-cylinder engine has been carried over from the old base Journey SE to its 2011 counterpart, now called the Journey Express. An aside: That four-cylinder engine is for motorists interested primarily in economical transportation — in terms of both purchase price and daily operation (think fuel costs).

It will disappoint motorists desiring the thrill of acceleration with every touch of the gas pedal. The four-cylinder Journey just doesn’t move that fast.

But the new 3.6-liter, 24-valve V-6 (283 horsepower, 260 footpounds of torque) sold as standard equipment in the 2011

Journey Mainstreet, Crew, R/T and Lux is a pleasing machine.

It will get you where you are going with something approaching fun-to-drive.

Like its predecessor, the 2011 Journey has an option for thirdrow seating, thereby creating space for seven people, up from five. But again, this column advises against exercising that option in the midsize Journey crossover and similar vehicles.

Reasons: Only small children can sit back there, and the rear seats are frightfully close to the rear hatch — not a good thing in a rear-end collision.

In summary, the 2011 Journey Crew and its four crossover siblings (Express, Mainstreet, R/T and Lux) are all worthy of consideration by shoppers seeking a high-quality, versatile crossoverutility vehicle ... with the following caveat: People who are seeking outstanding fuel economy, road performance (particularly acceleration), maximum utility and low pricing in a midsize crossover-utility vehicle are fantasy shoppers.

Putting a six-cylinder or larger engine in a crossover means sacrificing some element of fuel economy in favor of performance and, perhaps, increased utility.

Going with a small-displacement (referring to the amount of air and fuel that can be held in combustion chambers) four-cylinder engine means sacrificing performance and certain elements of utility — hauling and payloads are examples — in favor of more miles per gallon.

No one vehicle in any category

is likely to meet all needs and desires, certainly not at the same price, which is why car manufacturers usually offer multiple equipment and trim levels in the same vehicle line.

What is encouraging here is that, reflective of a new can-do, will-do spirit at Chrysler, the new Dodge Journey has top-notch quality and design up and down the line. I am impressed by the Chrysler Group’s recent action in paying off the $6 billion-plus in federal bailout money years before the due date. But I am much more impressed by what I see in the company’s new products — a drive to get things right, an elegant swagger, and a determination to win on its own terms without apology or excuse. That change in attitude could prevent Chrysler from ever again coming to the government, hubcap in hand, begging for a bailout.

The starter drive’s one-way clutch is more specifically called an overrunning clutch. This device resembles a roller bearing with ramps that allow the rollers to freewheel in one direction but wedge in the other. Bicycles use an overrunning clutch in the rear hub to allow you to pedal when desired, regardless of bike speed. If an overrunning clutch becomes worn or mechanically sticky, it may slip when it’s supposed to drive. In the case of your starter, this results in a very fast or “unloaded” starter spin, as it’s not driving the engine. Subsequent starting attempts may be successful due to heat-up or jarring of the rollers, but not for long.

Depending on the starter, the drive may be serviceable — the cost is perhaps $30 — but renewing just this part may be pennywise, pound-foolish as opposed to installing a remanufactured starter assembly. Other internal starter parts may also be nearing retirement, and you’d be paying for disassembly and reassembly time, in addition to the labor to replace any parts.

Remanufactured starters can be a little spooky in quality.

I’d opt for a big-name brand or look for a local rebuilder with a good reputation among repair shops. They all come with a replacement warranty, but labor reimbursement is likely not provided.

Batteries that can multitask

By Steven Ashley New York Times News Service

There’s more than meets the eye in the battery-powered model car sitting in Emile Greenhalgh’s laboratory at Imperial College London.

The model has been modified by the researcher’s team to increase the amount of electrical energy it can store — but not by installing a bigger battery. Instead, the team added body components that double as capacitors, devices that hold an electrical charge until they are tapped.

“Although the energies they provide are fairly modest,” Greenhalgh, a composites expert, said, “they have shown that our material could be used to smooth the demands on the battery, thus enhancing its life.”

Designers of full-scale electric vehicles are working toward the same goal: Battery reserves need to be extended because to-

day’s technology typically delivers only enough power for about 100 miles of driving. Larger batteries are not necessarily the solution, either. Even the most advanced designs weigh hundreds of pounds, reducing the vehicle’s range.

To help cut weight and increase driving distances, engineers are developing car frames and bodies made of carbon fiber-reinforced composites, plastic materials that can be 50 percent lighter than steel but provide superior strength and rigidity. Although used in a handful of exotic sports cars, carbon composites remain too costly for mass-market cars.

One potential solution is to build autos with carbon composites that can also serve as batteries. The dual-function materials could make EVs and hybrid vehicles lighter as they simultaneously provide extra electricity.

“Structural power technology combines mechanical structure and energy storage capabilities,” said Greenhalgh, who heads a group at the college working on the concept. “This could allow us to have our cake and eat it too.”

To enable the composite materials to store electricity, the resin that binds the carbon fibers is laced with lithium ions; the fibers serve as conductive electrodes for this type of capacitor.

It is different from a battery, which produces electricity from a chemical reaction. Another research group, at the Swedish Institute of Composites, is working on a structural battery.

Greenhalgh also leads a wider European Union project, which includes Volvo Cars, to study the innovative materials. “Volvo says that structural power technology will be key to the EVs they’re developing,” he said.

The flag will finish its tour this September in New York, where it will eventually become part of the 9/11 museum. “That should be the final home,” Parness says. “We’ll return it whole.”

You may be included in a class action lawsuit about whether Akävar 20/50 (“Akävar”) is sold as a proven weight loss product and whether there is clinical and scientific support for the manufacturer’s claim that users of Akävar can “Eat all you want and still lose weight.” The case in the United States District Court for the District of Utah is called Miller v. Basic Research, LLC, et al., No. 2:07-CV-871.

The Court decided this should be a class action on behalf of a “Class,” or group of people, that could include you. This notice summarizes your rights and options. More information is available in a detailed notice.

There is no money available now and no guarantee that there will be.

CHECK YOUR BRAKES

The ability to stop quickly is vital for safe biking.

Squeezing the hand brakes a third of the way should bring the brake pads and wheel into contact. Any less than a third and your brakes are probably too tight.

Any more than a third, they’re likely too loose. If the brake pads are too far from the rim, adjust them by tightening the screws by hand. If the pads are worn out, you’ll need to replace them.

CLEAN & LUBRICATE THE CHAIN

A greasy chain attracts dirt, and a dirty chain makes it harder to pedal. I prefer the biodegradable Citrus Degreaser ($9.99). It’s nontoxic, and the pressurized spray blasts dirt away. Allow the degreaser to dry for a minute, then add a few drops of lubricating oil while you spin the chain.

WHO

PUMP IT UP

Ensure your tires are at the recommended pressure (printed on the side of the tire).

Properly pumped tires make your bike go 5% to 25% faster with the same level of effort. Thumb tests are surprisingly inaccurate; it’s best to have a gauge on your pump.

WHAT

IS INCLUDED?

The Court decided that the Class includes any person who purchased Akävar after seeing or hearing the marketing slogan “Eat all you want and still lose weight.”

WHAT

WHO

IS THIS CASE ABOUT?

REPRESENTS YOU?

The Court appointed the law firms of Anderson & Karrenberg; Wilentz, Goldman & Spitzer, P.A.; and Shepherd, Finkelman, Miller & Shah, LLP, to represent you as “Class Counsel.” If Class Counsel obtains money or benefits for the Class, they may ask the Court for attorneys’ fees, costs and expenses. You don’t have to pay any of these fees, costs and expenses. If the Court grants their request, the fees, costs and expenses would be deducted from any money obtained for the Class, or paid separately by Defendants. You may hire your own lawyer to appear in Court for you. If you do, you have to pay that lawyer.

ARE YOUR OPTIONS?

You have a choice of whether to stay in the Class or not, and you must decide this now. To stay in the Class, you do not have to do anything. If money or benefits are obtained, you will be notified about how to ask for a share. You will be legally bound by all orders and judgments of the Court, and you won’t be able to sue, or continue to sue about the legal claims in this case.

If you exclude yourself, you cannot get money or benefits from this lawsuit if any are awarded, but you will keep any rights to sue about these claims and will not be bound by any orders or judgments in this case.

The detailed notice explains how to exclude yourself. The deadline for exclusions is August 15, 2011.

The case is about whether the manufacturer and other defendants engaged in fraudulent and deceptive advertising and marketing. The lawsuit says that Akävar has not undergone “scientific evaluation” by a “team of doctors,” has not been tested in controlled random clinical trials and that there is no scientific evidence that users of Akävar can “Eat all you want and still lose weight.” The lawsuit seeks money and other benefits for the Class. Defendants deny the claims and allegations in the lawsuit. The Court has not decided who is right. The lawyers for the Class will have to prove their claims at a trial set to begin on September 10, 2012.

were sound asleep when the phone rang at 2 a.m. Their oldest daughter, Rory, 18, had left two weeks earlier for her first year at a college in Connecticut. An honor student and athlete, Rory had never been in trouble. They didn’t think they had any reason to worry. “When I picked up the phone, Rory was crying hysterically; she was completely disoriented,” Linda recalls. “She kept saying, ‘Mom, can you come get me?’ but she had no idea where she was—and we live hours away. I’ve never been that scared—she could barely speak.” Finally, Linda heard other people’s voices in the background and had Rory pass the phone to someone who told her where they were. While Linda stayed on the line with her daughter, her husband called campus security. When officials found Rory a few minutes later, her face was covered in blood. She had fallen and broken her nose, though she was so intoxicated that she hadn’t realized it. “She managed to tell me she’d been drinking something called Jungle Juice,” Linda recalls.

Like many parents, Linda had never heard of the potentially lethal concoction. A syrupy mix of hard liquors and fruit juices, it often includes Everclear, whose alcohol content can be as high as 190 proof (a level banned in some states). Some kids throw in energy drinks for good measure. There are dozens of recipes for Jungle Juice online; one popular site calls it “Suicide in a Kettle.”

to avoid early-morning classes. And it’s not exactly unheard of for teens in high school and even middle school to sneak into their parents’ liquor cabinets.

What is new—and increasingly alarming to those confronting the issue—is the rising trend of extreme underage drinking. Such is the concern that the legal drinking age itself has come into question.

Some argue that lowering it from 21 to 18 would help curb the behavior by demystifying alcohol.

Critics point out that drunk-driving fatalities among teens have dropped greatly since the drinking age became 21 nationwide. But both sides agree that binge drinking is a growing problem.

“We’re seeing kids coming in with blood alcohol levels in the mid-.3s, even .4, which is four to five times the legal limit for driving. That’s the level at which 50% of people die,” says Dr. Mary Claire O’Brien, an emergency medicine physician and assistant professor at Wake Forest University School of Medicine in North Carolina who spedrinking-related incidents, and more than cializes in alcohol-related research. “Ten years ago, 1,700 college students die. “Underage we saw those levels only in chronic alcoholics.” drinking doesn’t discriminate,” says Adrian Adolescents tend to drink differently than Lopez, director of community outreach for the adults.

They got drunk twice as often and drank more per session than those who had alcohol without caffeine. They were much more likely to be injured, much more likely to be taken advantage of sexually or to take advantage of someone sexually, much more likely to drive drunk.”

Colleges are on the front lines of this battle.

Ramapo College in New Jersey banned energy drinks containing alcohol on campus in 2010 after a number of students were sent to the ER for alcohol-related reasons over a few weeks. James L. Gaudino, president of Central Washington University in Ellensburg, Wash., took similar action. “We banned alcoholic energy drinks when we became aware of the extraordinary threat they pose,” he says.

“What shocked us was the hospitalization of 11 students after a single party.”

with the taste of liquor.” Gabby notes that the cans look a lot like iced tea. “It seems user-friendly,” she says. But she won’t drink it herself, pointing out that a number of kids in her school were hospitalized this year due to binge drinking. The makers of Four Loko reply: “We are fully committed to doing our part to ensure that our products are consumed legally and responsibly. Phusion Projects’ marketing message is clear: If you are under the age of 21, respect the law and do not drink.”

Even in its new incarnation, Four Loko falls into a category that teens love but that has authorities worried: flavored malt beverages. Like Four Loko, many of them are sold in brightly decorated 23.5-ounce cans and have an alcohol content of 12%.

On April 21, attorneys general from 16 states cosigned a letter to Pabst, makers of the malt beverage Blast. “We believe the manufacture and marketing of this flavored ‘binge in a can’ poses a grave public safety threat,” the letter states. It cites concerns that Blast— with such varieties as strawberry lemonade and grape, a pervasive online presence, and the rap star Snoop Dogg as a spokesman—is aimed at underage drinkers.

Jon Sayer, chief marketing officer of Pabst Brewing Company, issued this reply: “Blast is produced only for consumers above legal drinking age and is marketed as such.” The president of Anheuser-Busch, meanwhile, announced in late May that the company will lower the alcohol content in its 24-ounce flavored malt beverage Tilt from 12% by volume to 8%.

■ DRINKING GAMES

GO HARD-CORE Teens’ growing preference for hard liquor over beer is also setting off alarms. Dr. Michael Siegel, professor at the Boston University School of Public Health, recently completed a study of high school students. “We found that, by far, liquor is the beverage of choice. This definitely represents a change.”

Hard liquor is increasingly replacing beer in drinking games. “Kids easily drink seven or eight shots at a time,” Gabby says of her buddies. But Dr. O’Brien notes, “That’s low ballpark, from what we are seeing.

Teens in our studies are having 10 or more drinks.”

brands, including Phusion Projects, which sells the cult favorite Four Loko, to remove the caffeine. Four Loko was reformulated and is now back on the market. The sweetened beverage no longer contains caffeine, but each 23.5-ounce can may have the alcohol equivalent of four to five beers. (Four standard beers for a female and five for a male over a two-hour period is considered binge drinking.) Though it’s too early to tell if its popularity is abating, Four Loko, a.k.a. “Blackout in a Can,” has been a hit on YouTube, with more than 5,000 videos extolling its virtues.

StayHealthy BATTLING A MEDICAL CRISIS? If you’re overwhelmed by a serious diagnosis, consider a health advocate What is it? Think of a health advocate as your “inside man” in today’s complex health care system.

“Patients often have to communicate with multiple practitioners, research treatment options, and fight insurance claim denials,” says Laura Weil, director of the master’s degree program in health advocacy at Sarah Lawrence College in Bronxville, N.Y. An advocate acts as the point person for coordinating your care or helping to monitor that of a far-flung relative.

Who needs one?

Patients with chronic or life-threatening illnesses tend to benefit most, says Weil. “Advocates can help you get the information you need to understand test results, find specialists, and choose the right treatment.”

How do I find one?

Ask whether your

company offers free patient advocacy to employees. If it does not, try a hospital or senior center; many provide free advocacy services (the latter even for non-seniors).

To hire a pro, check out the National Association of Healthcare Advocacy Consultants (nahac .com), a small but growing resource.

Ask for references and a proposal of services and fees (hourly rates can range from $35 to more than $200).

April 28 when he got a message from a shaken Barton saying the town was “gone.” He told his fellow Phils via Facebook, and they launched an “I’m With Phil” campaign. Phil Campbell, 38, a video producer from Nottingham, England, edited clips from the other Phils into a YouTube video that featured 11 different Phil Campbells declaring support for the stricken town.

The Phils told Barton they’d be there on June 17—to help rebuild.

“I was shocked,” says Barton, a motherly woman who’s quick to laugh and cry. “It warmed my heart to know that people want to travel so far to assist.” Feeling the town could use a celebration, officials revived plans for the hoedown, too.

On May 14, he and his wife packed their car with bottled water and Walmart gift cards and made the two-hour drive. “As I was coming toward the town, I saw the Phil Campbell water tower standing, and I thought, ‘How bad can it be?’ ” he recalls. “Then I went over the next hill, and it was devastation

Birmingham Phil has gone back once more to pitch in, his bond with the town intensified by a sense of purpose. “It means more to me knowing that what I do is touching somebody’s life,” he says. “Thirty years from now, I’ll remember how I came to this town and helped. This’ll be the high point of my life, I think.” The idea that they can make a difference in the place that shares their name is just one more thing binding all the Phils and Phyllises together.

Phil Campbell, 44, a pastor from Coffs Harbour, Australia, will travel more than 9,000 miles this month to be there.

Why go to such lengths? His answer is simple: “When tough times happen, we must pull together and lend a hand.”

In late May, many of the town’s streets were still clogged with rubble and dead trees.

Some families whose homes were destroyed were living out of tents. But there were also signs of renewal everywhere: people busy restringing power lines and replacing broken windows.

Those at work will soon be joined by the crew of Phil Campbells, whose commitment is giving townspeople an emotional boost. Mayor Jerry Mays, 67, sums it up: “Everyone is looking forward to them. It’s amazing. We’ve been telling them, ‘This is your hometown now.’ ” You can find out how to help Phil Campbell and other tornado-stricken towns at Parade.com/philcampbell

Teen Drinking | continued from page 8

want to get drunk quickly, shots are key. There’s a sense that you need to be wasted to go to a party, and if you’re not, you won’t have fun. Certain events, like Halloween and homecoming, it’s kind of guaranteed that kids are going to end up in hospitals.” After 14 students were hospitalized during a graduation celebration in 2008, Colby College in Maine studied the issue and, in 2010, banned hard liquor on most of the campus.

■ THE LONG-TERM DAMAGE “The adolescent brain is much more sensitive to

alcohol toxicity than adults’, including being vulnerable to cell death,” says Dr. Fulton Crews, director of the Bowles Center for Alcohol Studies at the University of North Carolina School of Medicine. “Adolescents showed much more frontal cortical damage than adults. We found that one high dose of alcohol caused significant loss of brain stem cells.”

Early drinking also poses a risk later in life. “If you start drinking early, you’re 40% to 60% more likely to become an alcoholic, regardless of family history,” Dr. Crews says. And studies indicate a potential for permanent memory impairment.

■ WHAT PARENTS CAN DO If you’re worried that your teen might be binge drinking, consider taking these steps.

P Know the warning signs. Signs of extreme drinking include a drop in grades, changes in behavior and mood, a new set of friends, memory lapses, and difficulty concentrating.

P Open a dialogue. Ask your kids what kinds of experiences they’re having, make your personal values clear, and calmly lay out the risks. Studies have found that parents who combine clear expectations of accountability with support and warmth have more success in curbing binge drinking than either strictly authoritarian or overly indulgent parents.

P Establish a code word. Before your kids go out, agree on a phrase they can say if they are in an uncomfortable situation and need to give you a signal to come get them right away, no questions asked.

P If you tell your kids just one thing, make it this: “If someone has been drinking Jungle Juice or doing shots in a short amount of time, their blood alcohol level can continue to rise dangerously after they appear to fall asleep,” Dr. O’Brien says. This could have fatal consequences. “Tell your kids: If you can’t rouse someone, call 911. The worst that can happen is you’ll be embarrassed or your parents will get angry. But the alternative is far worse. We all know kids make mistakes. Unfortunately, some mistakes can’t be fixed.”

Sunday with...

Rucker became a country artist in 2008—after selling more than 20 million albums in the ’90s with his rock band, Hootie & the Blowfish—he was hailed as the first African-American superstar in the genre since Charley Pride. “Opening a few minds here and there, that’s cool,” says Rucker, 45. “But there are no politics in my songs. I just want to play music.”

Chris Willman talked with Rucker, who lives with his wife and their two children in Charleston, S.C., about reinvention and relaxation.

y cool in their eyes?

Are you They love when I pick up bun of their friends a bunch in the tour bus and tak them to a Justin take B Bieber concert. But t they don’t think I si very well. sing They tell you that?

To my face! My 10-year-old will say, as I’m walking by her singing, “Daddy, use your stage voice, because your indoor voice is not very good.” [laughs] I’ve never had one of my kids say, “Sing a song for me.” If I start singing, it’s always, “Whoa— you don’t have to sing! We’re good.”

What are your Sundays like when you’re not on tour?

I love being with my family, and we live in the South, so we can play golf all year round. And on a recent Sunday, we all played basketball.

How obsessive are yyou about golf?

T There’s no place I go that I don’t bring my clubs.

Nowhere. I love it because I don’t need anybody else to play with.

And it’s great being outside, because musicians are inside a lot. Every golf course in the world is beautiful.

Do you hit the links with any celebrities?

I play with Sam Jackson. He’s really good, and he lets you know that he’s beating you. I like to play with Tiger [Woods, at whose wedding Hootie & the Blowfish performed]. We hung out recently, but we didn’t get to play because of his injuries.

14 • June 12, 2011

Darius Rucker The hitmaker formerly known as Hootie riffs on golf, kids, and making the grade in country

You have a reputation as such a family guy now. But when I interviewed you in 1996, at the height of Hootie’s popularity— [laughs] Was I coherent?

Yes, but also very single. You were flirting with fans, and you said you liked being alone.

In ’96 I was a different, troubled guy. I didn’t need to put anybody

through what I was going through.

Then I met my wife, and being with her made me realize that I had to be a much better person.

Are your kids into music?

My 16-year-old [from a previous relationship] wants to be an actress.

My 10-year-old plays guitar. I think my 6-year-old’s going to be a musician. He’s already a drummer, and he

Was it humbling to start anew in country music?

No, because I was already humbled by my career. [Hootie] hadn’t been on the radio in years. I couldn’t believe I got a record deal to sing country, to be honest. But I loved being an opening act for Brad Paisley. There was no place we played that I hadn’t already sold out with Hootie. I’d done all that. So to me, fun is opening for Brad, playing my 55 minutes, and never once asking, “How many tickets did we sell?”

Do you notice any difference between country and rock fans?

The audiences are a lot alike. But country fans stand up and don’t sit down until it’s over. They’ll stick by you; pop audiences are always looking for the next big thing. I think I’m at the point where, as long as I don’t mess it up, I’m in.

Ask Marilyn

By Marilyn vos Savant Say that I place a 25,000-mile-long metal band snugly around the earth.

(Assume a smooth planet.) Then I cut the band and splice another 50 feet to it, thus loosening it all around.

Can I get my finger between the new-length band and the earth? Can I crawl under it?

—Zan White, Elkins, W. Va.

Amazingly, even the tallest basketball player could walk under that band, which would float about eight feet off the ground around the planet.

The circumference of the object is irrelevant. Adding 50 feet to any size band—one that wraps around a cantaloupe or the moon—will produce the same answer: The longer band will be about eight feet from the surface of the object it circles.

ZETIA® (EZETIMIBE) TABLETS PATIENT INFORMATION ABOUT ZETIA (ze˘t´-e¯-a˘) Generic name: ezetimibe (e˘-ze˘t´-e˘-mı¯b)

Read this information carefully before you start taking ZETIA and each time you get more ZETIA. There may be new information.

This information does not take the place of talking with your doctor about your medical condition or your treatment. If you have any questions about ZETIA, ask your doctor. Only your doctor can determine if ZETIA is right for you.

WHAT IS ZETIA? ZETIA is a medicine used to lower levels of total cholesterol and LDL (bad) cholesterol in the blood. ZETIA is for patients who cannot control their cholesterol levels by diet and exercise alone.

It can be used by itself or with other medicines to treat high cholesterol. You should stay on a cholesterol-lowering diet while taking this medicine.

ZETIA works to reduce the amount of cholesterol your body absorbs. ZETIA does not help you lose weight. ZETIA has not been shown to prevent heart disease or heart attacks.

For more information about cholesterol, see the “What should I know about high cholesterol?” section that follows.

WHO SHOULD NOT TAKE ZETIA? • Do not take ZETIA if you are allergic to ezetimibe, the active ingredient in ZETIA, or to the inactive ingredients. For a list of inactive ingredients, see the “Inactive ingredients” section that follows.

• If you have active liver disease, do not take ZETIA while taking cholesterol-lowering medicines called statins.

• If you are pregnant or breast-feeding, do not take ZETIA while taking a statin.

• If you are a woman of childbearing age, you should use an effective method of birth control to prevent pregnancy while using ZETIA added to statin therapy.

ZETIA has not been studied in children under age 10.

WHAT SHOULD I TELL MY DOCTOR BEFORE AND WHILE TAKING ZETIA? Tell your doctor about any prescription and non-prescription medicines you are taking or plan to take, including natural or herbal remedies.

To ask a question, visit Parade.com/askmarilyn

Tell your doctor about all your medical conditions including allergies.

Parade

• ever had liver problems. ZETIA may not be right for you.

• are pregnant or plan to become pregnant. Your doctor will discuss with you whether ZETIA is right for you.

• are breast-feeding. We do not know if ZETIA can pass to your baby through your milk. Your doctor will discuss with you whether ZETIA is right for you.

• experience unexplained muscle pain, tenderness, or weakness.

HOW SHOULD I TAKE ZETIA?

WHAT ARE THE POSSIBLE SIDE EFFECTS OF ZETIA® (EZETIMIBE)?

In clinical studies patients reported few side effects while taking ZETIA. These included diarrhea, joint pains, and feeling tired.

Patients have experienced severe muscle problems while taking ZETIA, usually when ZETIA was added to a statin drug.

If you experience unexplained muscle pain, tenderness, or weakness while taking ZETIA, contact your doctor immediately.

You need to do this promptly, because on rare occasions, these muscle problems can be serious, with muscle breakdown resulting in kidney damage.

Additionally, the following side effects have been reported in general use: allergic reactions (which may require treatment right away) including swelling of the face, lips, tongue, and/or throat that may cause difficulty in breathing or swallowing, rash, and hives; raised red rash, sometimes with target-shaped lesions; joint pain; muscle aches; alterations in some laboratory blood tests; liver problems; stomach pain; inflammation of the pancreas; nausea; dizziness; tingling sensation; depression; headache; gallstones; inflammation of the gallbladder.

Tell your doctor if you are having these or any other medical problems while on ZETIA. For a complete list of side effects, ask your doctor or pharmacist.

WHAT SHOULD I KNOW ABOUT HIGH CHOLESTEROL? Cholesterol is a type of fat found in your blood. Your total cholesterol is made up of LDL and HDL cholesterol.

LDL cholesterol is called “bad” cholesterol because it can build up in the wall of your arteries and form plaque. Over time, plaque build-up can cause a narrowing of the arteries. This narrowing can slow or block blood flow to your heart, brain, and other organs.

High LDL cholesterol is a major cause of heart disease and one of the causes for stroke.

HDL cholesterol is called “good” cholesterol because it keeps the bad cholesterol from building up in the arteries.

Triglycerides also are fats found in your blood.

GENERAL INFORMATION ABOUT ZETIA Medicines are sometimes prescribed for conditions that are not mentioned in patient information leaflets. Do not use ZETIA for a condition for which it was not prescribed. Do not give ZETIA to other people, even if they have the same condition you have.

It may harm them.

This summarizes the most important information about ZETIA. If you would like more information, talk with your doctor. You can ask your pharmacist or doctor for information about ZETIA that is written for health professionals.

Inactive ingredients: Croscarmellose sodium, lactose monohydrate, magnesium stearate, microcrystalline cellulose, povidone, and sodium lauryl sulfate.

Issued July 2009 REV 21 29480885T

• Take ZETIA once a day, with or without food. It may be easier to remember to take your dose if you do it at the same time every day, such as with breakfast, dinner, or at bedtime. If you also take another medicine to reduce your cholesterol, ask your doctor if you can take them at the same time.

• If you forget to take ZETIA, take it as soon as you remember.

However, do not take more than one dose of ZETIA a day.

P.C. VEY

• Continue to follow a cholesterol-lowering diet while taking ZETIA. Ask your doctor if you need diet information.

“How come we never go out anymore and spend money we don’t have?”

June 12, 2011 • 15

• Keep taking ZETIA unless your doctor tells you to stop. It is important that you keep taking ZETIA even if you do not feel sick.

See your doctor regularly to check your cholesterol level and to check for side effects. Your doctor may do blood tests to check your liver before you start taking ZETIA with a statin and during treatment.
