Murdoch criticism hits U.S.

Prineville’s water woes may well be over soon

The Washington Post

By Donald G. McNeil Jr. New York Times News Service

Two new studies released on Wednesday add to the growing body of evidence that taking a daily pill containing one or two AIDS drugs can keep an uninfected person from catching HIV. The studies were the first to show protection in heterosexuals; the only earlier one with similarly encouraging results involved gay men. As it becomes ever clearer that modern antiretroviral drugs can not only treat the disease but prevent it, pressure is likely to increase on donors to find more money to supply them in African nations now ravaged by HIV and on pharmaceutical manufacturers to either sell them cheaply worldwide or release their patents to companies that can. “This is an extremely exciting day for HIV prevention,” said Dr. Kevin Fenton, director of AIDS prevention at the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention in Atlanta.

requires the city plan to provide services if it were to grow by almost 30,000 people. About 1,250 residents currently aren’t on city water because there’s not enough to go around. And new businesses, such as companies looking for a home for data centers similar to the Facebook facility, look for stable water resources. The map shows the potential to meet all those needs through a roughly drawn estimate of an ancient underground river just west of the city. See Water / A4

RITZVILLE, Wash. — State Sen. Mark Schoesler might seem a marginalized man at first glance. In this ever bluer state, he is deep red Republican. In his dusty hometown here in rural eastern Washing ton, the population is in perpetual decline and Main Street Washington resists revival. state Sen. Although it has Mark been nearly Schoesler 20 years since Schoesler became a state lawmaker, fewer and fewer of his colleagues in Olympia, the capital, have a clue about what he does for a living. “There were people who had tree fruits, blueberry farms, hops, grapes,” Schoesler recalled of his fellow lawmakers in 1992 when he was first elected to the state House. “Now, I think that I can say that I’m the only one in the Senate whose primary living is farming.” See Rural / A5

Jerry Brummer, the Prineville Public Works Superintendent, left, and Eric Klann, an engineer with the city of Prineville, discuss where a new test well will be drilled to gain access to an underground waterway. Prineville wants to set up a permanent well and start drilling test wells as soon as next month to determine where the water is at its deepest.

An underground source could solve the city’s struggles, but using water may require help from D.C.

By Scott Hammers Bend police say it could take several months to track down the source of an estimated 200 incidents of credit card fraud reported by local residents in recent days. Starting late last week, Central Oregon residents have been reporting false charges made to their credit cards, with the purchases coming from states around the country and as far away as France. Bend Police Lt. Ben Gregory said it’s likely all the local residents who have found fraudulent charges on their cards visited the same retail location or ATM, most likely in Bend sometime in the last several months. Somehow, either by electronically accessing the card scanners and computers or with the cooperation of employees, the information encoded in the cards’ magnetic strip was recorded and distributed to hundreds of individuals who have used the information to make purchases generally ranging from $45 to $600. False charges have been reported on cards issued by nearly every financial institution doing business in the area, Gregory said, and the scale of the fraud strongly suggests the involvement of organized crime.

Technical schools face tough budget calculus “I think there is a stigma in society that says if you don’t get a four-year degree you have not achieved. And I don’t think that is true. There are not enough technical people in the workforce for us to grow.”

By Motoko Rich New York Times News Service

GREENSBORO, N.C. — Despite a competitive economy in which success increasingly depends on obtaining a college degree, one in four students in this country does not even finish high school in the usual four years. Matthew Kelly was in danger of becoming one of them. Tests showed he had a high intellect, but Kelly regularly skipped homework and was barely passing some of his classes in his early years of high school. He was living in a motel part of the time and both his parents were out of work. His mother, a former nurse, feared that Matthew had so little interest that he would drop out without graduating. Then his guidance counselor suggested he take some courses at a nearby vocational academy for his junior year. For the first time, the sloe-eyed teenager excelled, earning A’s and B’s in subjects like auto repair, electronics and metals technology. “When it comes to practicality, I can do stuff really well,” said Kelly, now 19. So well that he has earned a scholarship to attend a community college this fall. He even talks of pursuing a bachelor’s degree in engineering some day, and opening his own business. Now, federal funding to provide such vocational and technical education is at risk. President Barack Obama has instead made it a priority to raise overall academic standards and college graduation rates, and aims to shrink the small amount of federal spending for vocational training in public high schools and community colleges. That aid comes primarily in the form of Perkins grants to states. The administration has proposed a 20percent reduction in its fiscal 2012 budget for career and technical education, to a little more than $1 billion, even as it seeks to increase overall education funding by 11 percent. The only real alternative to public schools for career training is profitmaking colleges and trade schools, many of which have been harshly criticized for sending students deeply into debt without improving their job prospects. A little more than one in 10 students in higher education attend a profit-making institution. Proponents of career education in public high schools and community colleges point to apparent successes like Kelly and other research to demonstrate that their courses serve a group of students at most risk of being left behind. Without high school, much less college, many young people — particularly men and members of minority groups — end up doing lowskill work, relying on their youth and brawn. Those types of jobs were slashed during the downturn, and job prospects often fade altogether as workers age.

More college grads urged Recognizing that employment and income have expanded for those with college degrees, the president has said he wants America to produce the highest proportion of college graduates in the world by 2020. Last year, fewer than a third of all 25to 29-year-olds in the United States had earned a bachelor’s degree or higher. Advocates say the most compelling case for vocational education is that it keeps

students interested in school at all. According to data from the Department of Education, about 75 percent of students who start public high school graduate within four or five years. But more than 90 percent of those who concentrate in career-oriented courses, a definition that varies by state, do so, according to statistics compiled by the Office of Vocational and Adult Education. Strong vocational programs that start

in high school, advocates say, can help students make the leap to one- or two-year credentials that are increasingly the ticket out of low-skilled, lower-paying jobs. In fact, 27 percent of people who get a vocational license or certificate after high school, whether at a community college or a profitmaking institution, earn more than the average for those with a bachelor’s degree, according to the Center on Education and the Workforce at Georgetown University.

Crucial skill: critical thinking

4 2

Pushing all young people toward a bachelor’s degree could be misguided, some employers say, depriving certain industries of much-needed future workers. “I think there is a stigma in society that says if you don’t get a four-year degree you have not achieved,” said Matthew Edwards, manager of human resources at Machine Specialties in Whitsett, N.C., which makes precision parts for the aerospace and defense industries and is desperate to hire 10 new machinists. “And I don’t think that is true. There are not enough technical people in the workforce for us to grow.”

Others question whether the skills shortage is simply a matter of employers not paying enough for qualified workers. In fact, the skills that employers most frequently say are in shortest supply are critical thinking, the ability to work in teams and communication, not specialized training. “Our clients tell us ‘I’ve found somebody who is an electrician or a technician, but they don’t have a global mindset or can’t work with people in different cultures,’” said Mara Swan, executive vice president for global strategy and talent at Manpower Group, a job placement firm. “‘They can’t think beyond what I tell them to do.’” The Obama administration says that overall, data about career and technical education is mixed. There are “islands of excellence,” said Brenda Dann-Messier, assistant secretary for vocational and adult education, but there is still “uneven quality around the country.” Weaver Academy serves about 700 students a year in everything from heating and air conditioning to computer graphics in north central North Carolina. As furniture and textile production have left the area for Asia, the county has aggressively wooed new industries. Most prominently, Honda Aircraft broke ground in 2007 on its headquarters and a manufacturing plant in Greensboro. The company plans to hire as many as 350 people within a year. Still, Gene Holder, head of Weaver’s metals technology department, has struggled at times to entice students to his classes. “People think that blue-collar jobs are bad,” said Holder, an oak tree of a man with a goatee and aviator glasses who spent 17 years in manufacturing before teaching. “But it is no longer the dirty, wet sweatshop-type thing. You have to really have something going on up here,” he added, tapping his head.

Without law overhaul, states may make own rules By Winnie Hu New York Times News Service

Some state education chiefs say that if Congress does not overhaul No Child Left Behind, the main federal law governing public education, by the fall, they may be allowed to propose their own accountability systems as an alternative. These education chiefs said this week that Education Secretary Arne Duncan and his aides have signaled that they may grant a waiver on a crucial provision in the law, a requirement that all children be proficient in English and math by 2014, a goal widely seen as unrealistic. Other provisions the administration might be willing to relax include a requirement that districts identify and address schools that do not make “adequate yearly progress” toward specific goals and restrictions on how some federal education money must be spent. In exchange for being freed from these requirements, states would have to propose their own accountability rules and ways they would intervene in underperforming schools, these state education chiefs said they had been told. Kevin Huffman, the Tennessee education commissioner, said ad-

ministration officials “have been crystal clear that it would not be a waiver for everyone, but for states who are positioned to engage in meaningful reform with real accountability.” Huffman added, “They are not saying we’re going to waive schoolby-school interventions and let you just make up something.” The state education chiefs said they envisioned state accountability systems that placed more weight on student “growth” — that is, individual performance on state tests from year to year — and possibly other factors, like high school graduation rates and participation in Advanced Placement courses, as ways to measure student achievement. Under No Child Left Behind, schools are largely measured by

students’ performance on standardized tests, and by the performance of certain subgroups of disadvantaged students. “The biggest criticism about No Child Left Behind is the passfail,” said Hanna Skandera, who supports the law and hopes for more flexibility to make improvements. In 2010, 77 percent of the 827 public schools in New Mexico failed to make adequate yearly progress. “You either make AYP or you don’t,” Skandera said. “We’re not able to capture differences.” The administration’s suggestion of waivers has already drawn opposition from congressional leaders. But some education advocates say the waivers are a realistic alternative to a comprehensive overhaul of the law.

T S Coordinated bombings shake central Mumbai

Japan PM urges shift from nuclear power

By Vikas Bajaj and J. David Goodman

TOKYO — Prime Minister Naoto Kan said Wednesday that Japan should reduce and eventually eliminate its dependence on nuclear energy in what would be a radical shift to the country’s energy policy, saying that the Fukushima accident had demonstrated the dangers of the technology. It was Kan’s strongest stand yet against nuclear energy in the aftermath of the multiple meltdowns at the Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power Plant, which was ravaged in the March 11 tsunami and set off a substantial radiation leak. At least 80,000 people have been evacuated, and radioactive materials have been detected in tap water as far away as Tokyo as well as in agricultural produce. “Japan should aim for a society that does not depend on nuclear energy,” Kan said at a nationally televised news conference. “We should reduce our dependence in a planned and gradual way, and in the future we should aim to get by with no nuclear energy.”

MUMBAI, India — Three bomb blasts shook the city of Mumbai at the height of the evening rush hour on Wednesday, killing at least 17 people in what Indian officials called a coordinated terror attack on the country’s economic capital. The explosions struck central locations in the city, including the crowded Dadar neighborhood; the Zaveri Bazaar, a well-known jewelry market; and near the Opera House, according to India’s Home Ministry, which said 141 people had been injured. The attack was the first in Mumbai since militants from Pakistan mounted large-scale assaults on hotels, a train station and a Jewish community center in November 2008, killing more than 160 people. No immediate claim of responsibility for the Wednesday bombings was reported. India’s home minister, P. Chidambaram, said at a news conference in New Delhi that terror investigation teams had been dispatched to the blast sites. The Opera House blast was the strongest of the three, said Prithviraj Chavan, the chief minister of Maharashtra state, though the precise severity of the blasts was not immediately clear. Indian news accounts described the bombs as improvised explosive devices. Sidewalks in the Dadar neigh-

Libyan rebels’ chaotic advance slows in west ZINTAN, Libya — In the latest sign that a rebel advance on Tripoli may become slower and more chaotic, forces loyal to Libyan leader Moammar Gadhafi on Wednesday recaptured a town in the mountains south of the capital that was taken with great fanfare by rebels one week ago. Early Wednesday, government troops surged from their positions in the fortified city of Gharyan and quickly retook the town of Qawalish in the barren pasturelands of the western mountains. The Libyan government troops easily overran lightly defended rebel checkpoints and began roaring down the two-lane highway toward the main rebel stronghold of Zintan, creating a few hours of anxiety.

Doctor who tracked bin Laden may be freed ISLAMABAD — There were signs Wednesday that Pakistan might free a doctor it had jailed for helping the CIA track Osama bin Laden, as Pakistan’s spy chief flew to Washington to try to rescue the badly strained intelligence ties between the countries. Talks between senior CIA officials and Lt. Gen. Ahmad Shuja Pasha, the head of Pakistan’s InterServices Intelligence Directorate, would include the fate of the jailed doctor, Shakil Afridi, according to U.S. and Pakistani officials who requested anonymity because of the sensitivity of the issue. Pakistan seemed to have softened its position on Afridi, who’s already been the subject of weeks of tense negotiations between Washington and Islamabad.

Egypt purges 600 Mubarak-era officers CAIRO — Egypt’s transitional military government announced the early retirement of more than 600 senior police officers on Wednesday in an effort to mollify thousands of protesters at a sit-in in Cairo’s Tahrir Square who have been demanding swifter justice for those complicit in wrongdoing under President Hosni Mubarak, who was ousted in February. Officials of the Interior Ministry said 18 police generals and nine other senior officers were forced into early retirement because they were accused of killing protesters during the 18-day uprising that forced Mubarak from power.

Chavez says he may need chemotherapy CARACAS, Venezuela — President Hugo Chavez said Wednesday he may need to receive chemotherapy or radiation treatment after undergoing surgery last month in Cuba for an undisclosed form of malignant cancer. “A third stage may be needed, probably radiation or chemotherapy that could be difficult, but it’s precisely to try to armor my body from the malignant cells,” Chavez, 56, said in a phone call to state television. “My colon and stomach aren’t destroyed like the opposition is saying. Today cancer isn’t death.” — From wire reports

Obama to Republicans: ‘Don’t call my bluff’ By Lisa Mascaro and Christi Parsons McClatchy-Tribune News Service

WASHINGTON — President Barack Obama abruptly left debt negotiations with congressional leaders Wednesday at the White House when a top Republican said there was no longer time to engage in the large-scale deficit reduction discussions the White House is now seeking as part of a vote to raise the nation’s debt ceiling. The flare-up came at the end of the nearly two-hour session during which House Majority Leader Eric Cantor, R-Va., told the president that Congress should instead consider a series of debt ceiling votes based on spending cuts that already have been identified.

Talks could then continue to identify additional cuts for subsequent votes, he said. Republicans have refused Democrats’ call for taxes on the wealthy. The president responded by ending the meeting, sources said. “I suggested we were so far apart I didn’t see in the time before us how we get to where he wants us to be,” Cantor told reporters after the meeting. Obama warned Cantor not to set such an ultimatum, and according to congressional and administration aides repeated his vow to veto legislation that would extend the debt ceiling only for a short period. “The president told me, ‘Eric, don’t call my bluff. I’m going to take this to the American people,’” Cantor said. Aides described it as the tens-

est meeting yet in the months of discussions, with the president at one point accusing both sides of posturing. Democratic officials, however, denied reports that Obama had “walked out” of the meeting. “Left abruptly is perfectly fair,” one official said. “But the meeting was over — in no sense did he walk out on it.” Toward the end of the meeting, before he left, Obama said: “This process is confirming what the American people think is the worst about Washington: that everyone is more interested in posturing, political position and protecting their base than solving real problems,” according to a second Democratic official familiar with the talks. Both officials spoke on condition of anonymity because of the nature of the discussions.

Boy who got lost on way home found dismembered By Colleen Long The Associated Press

NEW YORK — An 8-yearold Brooklyn boy who got lost while walking home alone from day camp in his Orthodox Jewish neighborhood was killed and dismembered by a stranger he had asked for directions, and his remains were found stuffed in a trash bin and the man’s refrigerator, police said Wednesday. The gruesome killing of Leiby Kletzky shocked the tight-knit Hasidic community in Borough Park, in part because it is one of the safest sections of the city and because the man under arrest is himself an Orthodox Jew. A day-and-a-half search for the Hasidic boy ended with the discovery of his severed feet in-

Betty Ford finally home in Michigan By Kathleen Gray and Chris Christoff Detroit Free Press

GRAND RAPIDS, Mich. — It was a perfect day for Betty Ford to come home. Sunny, mid-70s, light breeze. “Thank you so much for honoring Mother,” Betty Ford’s son Steve told a crowd of about 200 people gathered Wednesday afternoon at the airport bearing his father’s name. “We appreciate it so much, and Dad does, too.” Today, the celebration of the life of the former first lady — Michigan’s only first lady — will end with eulogies and then her burial next to her husband, President Gerald Ford, the longtime congressman from Grand Rapids who helped soothe the nation’s soul when he assumed the presidency after Richard Nixon resigned in the disgrace of Watergate. Long before they were president and first lady, they were the first couple of western Michigan — Jerry and Betty. The former president died in December 2006.

Levi Aron, 35, implicated himself in the killing of Leiby Kletzy, an 8-year-old Brooklyn boy who went missing Monday. The boy’s dismembered body was discovered early Wednesday morning. side a bloody freezer at the home of a man who had been spotted with the child on a surveillance video, a law enforcement official told The Associated Press. The rest of the remains were in the trash in another neighborhood. “It is every parent’s worst

nightmare,” Police Commissioner Raymond Kelly. The 35-year-old suspect, Levi Aron, implicated himself in the killing, Kelly said. Police said there was no evidence the boy was sexually assaulted, but they would not shed any light on a motive except to say Aron told them he “panicked” when he saw photos of the missing boy on fliers that were distributed in the neighborhood. Police were looking into whether Aron had a history of mental illness. Aron was arrested on a charge of second-degree murder. It was not clear whether he had an attorney. The medical examiner’s office said it was still investigating how the boy was killed. The Hasidim are ultra-Orthodox Jews who live in somewhat insular neighborhoods.

Relatives of victims cry outside the JT Hospital in Mumbai, India, on Wednesday. borhood were littered with shattered glass as crowds jostled to get into a nearby train station as a rain fell over the shaken city. Television images showed scenes of minor destruction. Officials said that the device in Dadar appeared to have been hidden in an electrical box near a bus station. “The blast took place at the meter box of electric cabin of the bus stop, as it looks initially,” said Madhukar Sapre, an assistant commissioner of police in the Dadar area. Another of the devices, at the jewelry market, was hidden in an umbrella, according to Mumbai’s police commissioner. A fourth explosive device was found in Mumbai, but it did not go off. The city remained on high alert as reports of the blasts spread.

Water Continued from A1 The new map, coupled with federal legislation allowing the drilling of new wells in the stateregulated basin around Prineville, has city officials hoping to announce an end the area’s struggle for water. City Manager Steve Forrester said it’s a “cautiously optimistic” estimate, but the confluence of the two water projects may allow for new, high-producing wells to be drilled in the area by year’s end. “If we can get this done in the next six months then I say it will be a huge win for us,” Forrester said. “We will finally be able to take a breath and say that we got the water situation taken care of.” After receiving a blessing from the City Council on Tuesday night, engineers will now drill test wells in the area to try to find the exact path of the underground waterway. “This puts us right there on the target,” City Engineer Eric Klann said. “Next we aim for the bull’s-eye. The area we’ve identified is where the total extent of that paleochannel is. It’s where science says our best estimate is. But there are areas in there where (water) goes maybe 10 feet deep and areas where it can be up to 50 feet deep.”

test wells as soon as next month to determine where those areas are, but actually taking the water requires another step: mitigation credits. The city is included in an area called the Deschutes Groundwater Mitigation Area. The statecreated boundary requires mitigation credits be obtained before digging the producing wells. If water is taken from the ground in Prineville then the city must show it is replacing that water from another source. The city can purchase existing credits from private citizens who own rights, but obtaining those credits are generally difficult and expensive. But a house bill introduced by U.S. Rep. Greg Walden, R-Hood River, could solve that problem. Walden’s bill looks to move a “wild and scenic” boundary line away from the Bowman Dam, allowing for a hydroelectric power station to be built. It also seeks to release additional water into the Crooked River and to create mitigation credits for the city. Environmental groups have questioned the science of adding more water to the river system but the city has embraced the plan as a solution to many problems in the area. “We can study the area and drill the test wells but that doesn’t mean we can use the water,” Forrester said. “We still need to find the mitigation credits. ... (Walden’s bill) would give the city an opportunity to receive those credits.” The credits would allow the city to open up a new well field.

Eric Klann, an engineer with the city of Prineville, left, and Jerry Brummer, the Prineville Public Works Superintendent, measure the water level of an operational well on Wednesday. Engineers soon will drill test wells for an underground waterway west of the city, but actually taking its water requires mitigation credits — replacing the water from another source. And if all that happens, could the city finally announce its problems solved? “It’s absolutely true that this would give the city the sustainability and predictability needed to grow,” Forrester said. “We would then know we have the water available to develop the area.

We could look to a prospective business and say, ‘Hey, we’ve got you covered’ on water. We can say that now but it’s limited and we do have some restraints on new developments. We’re right on the edge of saying ‘No’ at this point.” Forrester testified before the House Committee on Natural Re-

Continued from A1 King ripped Murdoch’s “yellow journalism” in a letter to FBI director Robert Mueller requesting an inquiry. The unfolding scandal has imperiled Murdoch’s British operations, leading on Wednesday to the withdrawal of his $12 billion offer for the country’s largest satellite television operator, British Sky Broadcasting. But it so far hasn’t touched his much larger and more profitable American holdings. News Corp., based in New York, is primarily a U.S. company, and any impairment of its U.S. operations could seriously damage the empire Murdoch has almost single-handedly assembled since inheriting two ailing Australian newspapers from his late father in 1952. Among others, News Corp.’s businesses include the Wall Street Journal, New York Post, Fox TV, Fox News Channel and 27 TV stations. The scandal has led to media speculation that Murdoch’s U.S. TV-station holdings could be challenged under federal requirements that license holders be of “good character.” But that seems a long shot at the moment. Revocation of a broadcast license by the Federal Communications Commission has been rare throughout its history, especially since the FCC deregulated its licensing requirements in the 1980s, said veteran communications lawyer Andrew Jay Schwartzman. Further, the agency would likely only examine conduct involving the stations’ management in deciding on a license challenge, not behavior that took place in a foreign operation. “The short answer is, based on what we know has happened so far, none of his licenses are in jeopardy,” Schwartzman said. Rockefeller, chairman of the Senate Commerce Committee, was the first high-ranking American lawmaker to weigh in on Murdoch’s troubles. Rockefeller said he would “encourage” federal agencies to investigate whether News Corp. employees

Continued from A1 “It’s clear we’re not going to find a magic pill that prevents it, but this is adding more to the tool kit.” Until a few years ago, condoms and abstinence were alone in that tool kit. Recent studies have added male circumcision, vaginal microbicides, a daily pill for the uninfected (known as pre-exposure prophylaxis, or PrEP) and early treatment for the infected (known as “treatment as prevention”). One study released Wednesday, known as Partners PrEP and conducted in Kenya and Uganda by researchers from the University of Washington, showed that participants who took a daily Truvada pill — a mix of tenofovir and emtricitabine — had a 73 percent lower chance of getting infected. The study was done in 4,758 “discordant couples,” those in which one partner was infected and the other was not. Partners who took a Viread pill — which contains only tenofovir — had a 62 percent lower chance. The second study, called TDF2 and done in Botswana by the CDC, found that those taking Truvada had a 63 percent lower chance of infection. The subjects were 1,200 sexually active young adults. The studies were due to be released at an AIDS conference in Rome next week. But the University of Washington study was stopped early because it was so clear that the pills were working that it would be unethical to continue distributing placebos. The CDC decided to release its results simultaneously. These studies follow a breakthrough pre-exposure prophylaxis study, known as iPrEx, that was conducted

Rockefeller and Boxer appeared to be responding to a story in London’s Daily Mirror, which reported that journalists from News Corp.’s defunct tabloid, News of the World, had contacted an unidentified New York City policeman to get private phone records of British citizens who died in the World Trade Center. The policeman was quoted as saying he declined to turn over any records. The Mirror’s report, however, has not been corroborated by any other news organization nor confirmed by official sources. Lautenberg asked the Securities and Exchange Commission and Justice Department to investigate whether News Corp. employees had broken a law prohibiting American companies from bribing officials abroad. Journalists at News of the World allegedly bribed British police officers to gain information, a potential violation of the U.S. Foreign Corrupt Practices Act. “Further investigation may reveal that current reports only scratch the surface of the problem at News Corp.,” Lautenberg wrote. Separate from News Corp.’s American media properties, News of the World maintained a Hollywood bureau and bragged about scoops involving Ameri-

can celebrities Lindsay Lohan and Britney Spears at the time it was hacking thousands of phones in Great Britain. With the exception of King, Republican officials and their supporters have remained mostly silent about Murdoch, who last year directed a $1 million contribution to the Republican Governors Association on behalf of News Corp. At the same time, Fox News Channel has given the story scant coverage compared to rivals CNN and MSNBC. The scandal has also given ammunition to liberal groups, such as Washington-based Media Matters for America, that believe Murdoch has used his U.S. media assets to advance a conservative agenda. Murdoch’s British newspapers — the tabloid Sun, the Times of London and the Sunday Times — have given him outsized influence over the country’s politics, but they are a small and diminishing part of News Corp.’s overall business. News International, the company’s British newspaper subsidiary, accounted for just 17 percent of News Corp.’s $33 billion in annual revenue last year and were considered marginally profitable. By contrast, British Sky Broadcasting was a cash cow. A formerly failing company, it is Britain’s most lucrative pay TV broadcaster, counting one in every three British homes as a subscriber.

among gay men in San Francisco, with the results published in November. In it, men who took Truvada daily were 44 percent less likely to become infected. But those whose blood samples showed they took it faithfully had 90 percent protection. Then in April, the field had an unexpected setback, when FEM PrEP, a study in African women, was stopped early because it was not working. Researchers questioned whether many women either did not take their pills or gave them to their infected boyfriends or husbands. Blood samples are the best way to tell whether study participants actually take their pills. Blood samples were drawn in both that study and the two new studies, but because all three stopped early, the samples have not been analyzed. Two similar studies are in the works — another among heterosexuals in Africa and one among drug users in Thailand. “We don’t anticipate needing more,” said Dr. Jonathan Mermin, a CDC specialist in AIDS prevention. The new studies may lead some heterosexual Americans to ask their doctors for Truvada. Although it will take several months to write new CDC guidelines, Mermin said, doctors could use the guidelines written for gay patients after the San Francisco study, with the proviso that Truvada has not been tested in pregnant women.

Continued from A1 Finding the common thread is likely to be a long and tedious process. Bend police are asking victims to turn over credit card statements so that officers can go though them line by line to identify patterns. “My hope is I’m going to find that common denominator, whatever that location is, everyone who’s been victimized has been there,” Gregory said. “It may be as small as a gas station, it may be as big as a Walmart, a Fred Meyer or a Target.” Senior Agent Ron Brown from the U.S. Secret Service field office in Portland said so-called “skimmers” have become a major factor in the world of credit card fraud. Skimmers use a variety of electronic means to access card numbers. Some will affix a small card reader over the card slot on an ATM machine, Brown said, or intercept numbers as they’re being transmitted between a legitimate card reader to financial institutions. Employees of gas stations have been known to use a hand-held card reader to double-swipe a customer’s card, Brown said — recently, one such operation in Portland was foiled when the employees double-swiped cards belonging to law enforcement personnel. With the right equipment, criminals can record the stolen information onto the magnetic strip of an existing credit card or gift card, Brown said, effectively duplicating the card that remains in a victim’s wallet. Brown said one series of fraud cases that recently victimized hundreds across the Northwest was traced to Michael’s, the chain of arts and crafts supply stores. The skimmers took advantage of the stores’ antiquated debit/ credit card readers, using Bluetooth systems to capture unencrypted card numbers. Brown said Michael’s has since installed new equipment that cannot be so easily accessed, though it’s all but certain criminals will eventually find a way to exploit the weaknesses of any system. “If people want to go to the trouble of defrauding somebody, they’ll find a way, and the people who are being defrauded will find a way to counteract,” Brown said. “It’s sort of a never-ending cycle.” Gregory said Bend police are advising local residents to keep a close eye on their credit card statements, and ask that anyone who has been victimized contact law enforcement. Individuals who were contacted by their bank regarding charges that were denied should also contact police, Gregory said, as their spending patterns may help officers figure out where the fraud began.

$2.3B freed up to pay Madoff victims By Anthony M. DeStefano Newsday

NEW YORK — A Manhattan judge has released as much as $2.3 billion recovered in Bernie Madoff’s Ponzi scheme to pay hundreds of his victims checks worth from about $22,000 to nearly $64 million by the end of September. Judge Burton Lifland on Tuesday signed an order that allows trustee Irving Picard to begin paying off the claims of about 1,214 investors who lost their savings in Madoff’s fraud. Picard, who is handling the bankruptcy of Madoff’s old company, has approved about 2,300 claims out of more than 16,000 filed. Madoff’s fraud lost investors about $17.4 billion by the time he was arrested in December 2008. Madoff, 73, is spending the rest of his life in federal prison. Picard has actually recovered well over $7 billion, but because of appeals and challenges to his actions, the trustee is holding back all but about $280 million as a reserve. As a result, investors with approved claims will for now receive only about 4 percent of their losses, a figure that could rise in coming months. “This is not an ideal world, so unfortunately, there has to be a significant holdback,” Lifland said in court of the need for Picard to keep billions in reserve. David Sheehan, counsel for Picard, said the average check will be about $222,551, with the largest being $62.8 million and smallest coming in at $21,339. Some 868 accounts have been fully paid with advances of up to $500,000 from the Securities Investor Protection Corporation, said Sheehan.

Irish report says Catholic abuse scandal persisted New York Times News Service DUBLIN — The Roman Catholic Church in Ireland was covering up the sexual abuse of children by priests as recently as 2009, long after it issued guidelines meant to protect children, and the Vati-

can tacitly encouraged the coverup by ignoring the guidelines, according to a scathing report issued Wednesday by the Irish government. Alan Shatter, the Irish justice minister, called the findings “truly scandalous,” adding that

the church’s earlier promises to report all abuse cases since 1995 to civil authorities were “built on sand.” Abuse victims called the report more evidence that the church sought to protect priests rather than children. In Germany on Wednesday,

Rural Continued from A1 But please pause the eulogy right there, because while Schoesler is a dryland wheat farmer from the middle of nowhere, he also happens to be the Senate Republican floor leader. And this spring, when push came to shove in the final days of the state’s painful budget negotiations, with a gaping $5 billion deficit to close, Schoesler was among those carving out common ground with the majority Democrats from Seattle and other cities. For Schoesler, it was a peak. “I’d never negotiated anything real significant in the budget before,” he said. “There’s things in it I can be proud of, having a role in it.” The 2010 census confirmed the same sad trend confirmed by many censuses before it: As Americans continue to migrate to cities and suburbs, rural places are steadily losing people and political power. Yet in state capitols scattered across the country, even as legislative redistricting now under way inevitably will eliminate or drastically alter some rural districts, there are also plenty of powerful rural lawmakers who have shown the ability to defy geographic shifts, or shift with them, and many intend to keep doing so. Under Virginia’s new redistricting plan, approved this summer, Republican leaders moved the rural southwestern district of Ward Armstrong, a Democrat who is the minority leader in the House of

Legislative redistricting now under way will eliminate or drastically alter some rural districts, but powerful rural lawmakers such as Washington state Sen. Mark Schoesler have shown the ability to defy geographic shifts. Delegates, to the state’s growing suburbs outside Washington. Armstrong, whose district was also significantly redrawn a decade ago, decided quickly to move to a neighboring district. It happened that he grew up in that area, in the small town of Bassett, with just more than 1,000 people, and that his mother-in-law, now in a nursing home, still owned a furnished house there. “My political obituary’s been written twice before and never published,” Armstrong said. “They haven’t beaten me yet.” But unlike 10 years ago, this time he is running against a Republican incumbent, Charles Poindexter, who is receiving significant financing from state party leaders. Armstrong is quick to play the seniority card and says he represents an important rural counterpoint to the state’s urban

power centers. “It’s not Ward Armstrong that suffers,” he said. “It’s the people of this district that suffer from losing the seniority that offsets the growth in those other places.” Like other longtime lawmakers, representatives of rural areas in states without term limits tend to hold on longer. Those with the most longevity, and power, are mostly white men and often from states in the South, Midwest and West that have strong rural traditions, even if their populations are now more urban. They succeed in part because experienced hands are still in demand, even amid calls for change in state Capitols. There can be a paradox in their power: The regions they come from are often in decline, so their seats may not be hotly contested. “Generally, as a rule of thumb, you don’t see senior leadership

speaker from Burley, population 9,000. “There will come a time, maybe the next generation, when that won’t be there. But there’s still quite a connection there.” Gary Moncrief, a professor of political science at Boise State University who studies state legislatures, said the lag between demographic and political shifts could help rural lawmakers. “Everybody wants to talk about how redistricting is going to change things, but the reality is it doesn’t change things overnight,” Moncrief said. “It changes things very slowly. Most of those rural legislators don’t actually get washed away. They wind up in a district that’s a little more suburban, but they still know how to get elected, for a while.” The changes usually affect Republicans more than Democrats, who long ago lost power in most rural areas. In some states, particularly in the West, Republicans are sometimes seen as too rural, preoccupied with natural resource development and land rights and lacking common ground with voters in the region’s growing urban and suburban areas who worry about education and quality of life issues. Schoesler, whose district will be redrawn to maintain an approximately equal population to others, could add voters from the edge of the area, near the Hanford Nuclear Site. Then again, it could pick up voters in more rural places. No matter what, he does not expect the bulk of his constituents to change. Nor does he expect his Democratic opponent to be another farmer. In 20 years, it never has been. “That,” he said, “is a minority position right now.”

Oregon’s co-speakers have small-town roots

Karzai buries brother, taps another as tribal leader KABUL, Afghanistan — President Hamid Karzai wept as he buried his half brother in the family graveyard just south of the city of Kandahar on Wednesday morning, but moved swiftly to nominate another brother in his place within an hour to reinforce family and political preeminence in his ancestral homeland of Kandahar. The death of Ahmed Wali Karzai, the head of Kandahar’s provincial council and the most powerful figure in southern Afghanistan, is a severe blow to the president, who relied on him as a critical source of political and financial power for the last 10 years. He was receiving guests at his Kandahar home Tuesday morning when he was shot in the head by a longtime associate for reasons that remain unclear. After the funeral Karzai made a conciliatory gesture to over a thousand tribal elders and officials from all over southern Afghanistan who had gathered in a government palace, asking them to recognize Shah Wali Karzai, a brother of Ahmed Wali, as the appointed elder of the family and leader of his Populzai tribe, to which the Karzais belong. It was a moment to unite both the tribes and political support around him in the face of the continuing insurgency. But it was also a signal that the Karzais would be a continuing force in Kandahar, some of those who attended said. Yet it is Shah Wali’s lack of political experience that makes him different from his brother and engenders concern among residents of Kandahar that he will not be able to manage the complicated tribal relations as his brother did.

In Oregon, the co-speakers of the evenly divided state House, Bruce Hanna, a Republican, and Arnie Roblan, a Democrat, come from neighboring rural districts in the heavily forested areas in the southwestern part of the state. Both expect to hang on to their districts after they are redrawn — and each man wants to win outright control of the House. But they credit their shared small-town roots for their ability to work together and, to some degree, for their selection by other lawmakers as co-speakers. “It’s our basic beliefs about how people should behave and that your word is your bond,” Roblan said. “Your neighbor is your neighbor.” Many political experts say small-town mythology and nostalgia can help rural lawmakers extend their careers. In Idaho, a vast majority of growth in the past decade has come around Boise, the state’s largest city and a relative Democratic stronghold, but the Legislature is controlled by rural Republicans and is expected to stay that way even as redistricting is likely to eliminate some rural seats. Perhaps the most important r-word in Idaho politics is rancher. “You’ll have urban people that say, ‘Well, my father was raised on a farm,’ or, ‘When I first started out, I was on a farm,’” said Bruce Newcomb, a rancher, Republican and former House

RACE FOR THE REPUBLICAN NOMINATION

Campaign turns prickly By Nancy Benac The Associated Press

WASHINGTON — It was all going so pleasantly. A month ago, the Republicans who would be president gathered for a debate in New Hampshire and had nothing but nice things to say about one another. “Any one of the people on this stage would be a better president than Barack Obama,” said former Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney. “A great, great field of candidates,” said former Pennsylvania Sen. Rick Santorum. “I respect my fellow Republican candidates,” former Utah Gov. Jon Huntsman said a week later as he joined the race. Well, summer’s heating up and — inevitably — so is the sniping among GOP candidates. With Romney leading polls everywhere and Rep. Michele Bachmann suddenly a threat in leadoff caucus state Iowa, Republicans who’d been working to introduce themselves to the nation now are feeling the need to take their GOP competitors down a notch. The tone is nowhere near that of the mosh pit that will be the campaign come next winter. But it’s getting sharper by the day, even if the jabs sometimes have a passive-aggressive feel to them. Take this weekend stroke-andpoke by former Minnesota Gov. Tim Pawlenty at Bachmann, a fellow Minnesotan. “I like Congresswoman Bachmann,” Pawlenty said on NBC. “I’ve campaigned for her. I respect her. But her record of accomplishment in Congress is nonexistent. It’s nonexistent.” He went on: “And so we’re not looking for folks who, you know, just have speech capabilities. We’re looking for people who can lead a large enterprise in a public setting and drive it to conclusion. I’ve done that. She hasn’t.” That wasn’t exactly Minnesota nice. Bachmann, who polls show is leading Pawlenty in his seemingly must-win state of Iowa, countered that “instead of negativity, I want to focus on my accomplishments” and gave some details about her actions in Congress. And then there’s Huntsman, who began his campaign with a pledge to stay on the high road, saying, “I don’t think you need to run down someone’s reputation in order to run for the office of president.” He stressed the importance of civility and avoided criticizing fellow Republicans at first. But this week, he played coy with a jab at Romney’s track record as Massachusetts governor vs. his own record in Utah. “When you look at absolute increases in job creation, Utah led the way in the United States in

Michele Bachmann, R-Minn. terms of job creation,” Huntsman said during an appearance Monday in South Carolina. “Compare it and contrast it with certain other states like, we’ll say, Massachusetts, that I’ll just pull out randomly. Not first; but 47th.” Random. Sure. When Romney’s campaign countered that he had created nearly 50,000 jobs in Massachusetts, Huntsman’s aides came back with even more pointed criticism, saying only Ohio, Michigan and Louisiana had a worse track record. “You know your job creation record is bad when you brag about going from last to 47th, leapfrogging a state ravaged by Hurricane Katrina,” said Huntsman spokesman Tim Miller. “In order to turn the economy around, the GOP needs a candidate with a track record of job creation, not one with a failed record similar to President Obama’s.” Santorum, meanwhile, took a jab recently at Huntsman, who’s made much of his love of riding motorcycles. A Santorum Web ad shows a motorcyclist soaring through the air and then crashing in the dirt, and flashes these words on the screen: “Hasn’t signed the anti-abortion pledge. Just like Mitt Romney.” Sarah Palin, the GOP vice presidential candidate in 2008, hasn’t said if she’ll join the race

but has managed to keep herself in the mix as well. She took some swipes at Romney during a May bus tour, criticizing his health care plan in Massachusetts and questioning his appeal to tea party members. Pawlenty, who’s faced questions about whether he’s tough enough for the campaign, sometimes has struggled with the art of the snipe. At one point, he derided Romney’s health care plan as “Obamneycare” but then declined to make the same criticism when he stood on the same stage with Romney at the New Hampshire debate. Then, after he caught criticism for pulling his punch, Pawlenty tweeted: “On seizing debate opportunity re: healthcare: Me 0, Mitt 1. On doing healthcare reform the right way as governor: Me 1, Mitt 0.” Todd Harris, a Republican consultant who has worked on a number of GOP campaigns, said it’s all playing out according to the script that candidates of both parties follow every four years. “In the beginning, everyone goes out of their way to talk about how they are all such close friends,” he said. “About midway through the campaign, the relationships begin to fray. And by the time the voting begins, many of them can’t stand each other.”

Obama raises record $86M for re-election By Curtis Tate and Lesley Clark McClatchy-Tribune News Service

WASHINGTON — President Barack Obama’s re-election campaign and the Democratic National Committee said they’ve raised more than $86 million in the second quarter this year, far outpacing the combined $35 million that six Republican candidates have raised for 2012. Obama raised nearly $750 million for his 2008 campaign, and his re-election effort is expected to top $1 billion. The campaign had set a goal for the quarter of $60 million. Obama campaign manager Jim Messina noted that donations to the campaign came from 552,462 individuals. He said 98 percent of the contributions were $250 or less.

The president’s fundraising arm, Obama for America, pulled in $47 million, the DNC another $38 million. In a conference call with reporters, Messina said more than 260,000 contributors are “totally new” and had never given to Obama before. “This should end any Washington chatter as to whether the grassroots will be engaged,” Messina said. “Our people are back and energized.” The campaign plans to release a detailed disclosure Friday, which is when contribution reports are due to the Federal Election Commission. Obama’s closest GOP rival, former Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney, has raised slightly more than $18 million.

CIA officer may face charges over Abu Ghraib By Matt Apuzzo and Adam Goldman The Associated Press

WASHINGTON — A CIA officer who oversaw the agency’s interrogation program at the Abu Ghraib prison in Iraq and pushed for approval to use increasingly harsh tactics has come under scrutiny in a federal war crimes investigation involving the death of a prisoner, witnesses told The Associated Press. Steve Stormoen, who is now retired from the CIA, supervised an unofficial program in which the CIA imprisoned and interrogated men without entering their

names in the Army’s books. The so-called “ghosting” program was unsanctioned by CIA headquarters. In fact, in early 2003, CIA lawyers expressly prohibited the agency from running its own interrogations, current and former intelligence officials said. The lawyers said agency officers could be present during military interrogations and add their expertise but, under the laws of war, the military must always have the lead. Yet, in November 2003, CIA officers brought a prisoner, Manadel al-Jamadi, to Abu Ghraib and, instead of turning him over to the

Army, took him to a shower stall. They put a sandbag over his head, handcuffed his hands behind his back and chained his arms to a barred window. When he leaned forward, his arms stretched painfully behind and above his back. The CIA interrogated al-Jamadi alone. Within an hour, he was dead. Now, nearly eight years after a photo of an Army officer grinning over al-Jamadi’s body became an indelible image in the Abu Ghraib prison abuse scandal, federal prosecutors are investigating whether al-Jamadi’s death amounted to a war crime.

B U S I N E SS IN BRIEF Oregon ranks 2nd in clean jobs A report released Wednesday by the Brookings Institution, a Washington D.C. think tank, found Oregon’s percentage of clean jobs — those dealing in “goods and services with an environmental benefit” — was the second-highest in the nation. According to the report, Oregon’s clean job count in 2010 was 58,745, or 3.4 percent of all jobs in Oregon, behind only Alaska, with 16,682 such jobs, or 4.7 percent in that state. The think tank’s clean-jobs category includes more than 200 products and services, including building insulation, geothermal drilling, solar cells, electric-generating windmills, compost, thermostats, oil spill cleanup, environmental law and bus transportation.

WASHINGTON — The Federal Reserve chairman, Ben Bernanke, gave a subdued account of the economy’s health Wednesday and said the Fed was prepared to expand its economic aid campaign once again, if necessary, though such a step was not imminent. Less than a month has passed since Bernanke said at a news conference that the central bank intended to stand back and take the measure of the nation’s sluggish recovery. Wednesday’s remarks amounted to acknowledgment that, so far, the news has been almost uniformly bad. He described options including an explicit commitment to maintain its stimulus efforts for a longer period, the resumption of asset purchases and steps that would encourage commercial banks to use the reserves they currently keep on deposit with the central bank. — From staff and wire reports

Carbon-capture plan shelved by top utility WASHINGTON — A major U.S. utility is shelving the nation’s most prominent effort to capture carbon dioxide from an existing coal-burning power plant, dealing a severe blow to efforts to rein in emissions responsible for global warming. American Electric Power has decided to table plans to build a full-scale carboncapture plant at Mountaineer, a 31-year-old coal-fired plant in West Virginia, where the company has successfully captured and buried carbon dioxide in a small pilot program for two years. Company officials said they were dropping the larger, $668 million project because they did not believe state regulators would let the company recover its costs by charging customers.

Nike faces new abuse claims in Indonesia plants By Niniek Karmini and Stephen Wright The Associated Press

SUKABUMI, Indonesia — Workers making Converse sneakers in Indonesia say supervisors throw shoes at them, slap them in the face and call them dogs and pigs. Nike, the brand’s owner, admits that such abuse has occurred among the contractors that make its hip high-tops but says there was little it could do to stop it. Dozens of workers interviewed by The Associated Press and a document released by Nike show that the footwear and athletic apparel giant has far to go to meet the standards it set for itself a decade ago to end its reliance on sweatshop labor. That does not appear to explain abuses that workers allege at the Pou Chen Group factory in Sukabumi, some 60 miles from Jakarta — it didn’t start making Converse products until four years after Nike bought Converse. One worker there said she was kicked by a supervisor last year after making a mistake while cutting rubber for soles. See Nike / B3

Rupert Murdoch’s News Corp. announced Wednesday that it was withdrawing its $12 billion bid to buy complete control of the satellite giant British Sky Broadcasting, a move intended to calm the torrent of criticism directed

at the company since journalists at the company’s British newspapers were implicated in a widespread phone-hacking scheme. Whether or not the announcement will give the company any respite from the growing indignation and official investigations, it seems to have already altered not only the dynamics within

one of the world’s most powerful and profitable media companies but also, possibly, the future of the News Corp. newspapers. The decision to withdraw the bid for BSkyB, as the satellite broadcaster is known, was made as a contentious family drama played out in recent days. See News Corp. / B3

P F Using coupons — and common sense By Kara McGuire (Minneapolis) Star Tribune

arrie Rocha is used to the e-mails asking where to find the best deal on toilet paper. But the founder of the money-saving website Pocketyourdollars.com is unsettled by the ones from aspiring extreme couponers asking where to Dumpster-dive for coupon inserts. She tries to avoid using the words “extreme couponing” because it “conjures images of hoarding and labor-intensive quests to save a few pennies.” Rocha expunged $50,000 in debt with the help of coupons and now supports her Maple Grove family with her website, but she sees a disturbing element as more shoppers try to find ways to save. “To me, all the imagery and associations with the phrase ‘extreme couponing’ are negative,” she said. One viewing of TLC’s over-thetop show “Extreme Couponing” was enough for me. The episode featured a guy with a special basement room for storing 1,000 nearly-free tubes of toothpaste and a set of twins who high-five each other when they wipe the store shelves clean of products they admit they might not use. The show, which was recently renewed for a second season, debuted during a resurgence of coupon use prompted by the Great Recession. There’s certainly a built-in audience for such a program. Nationally, shoppers redeemed 3.3 billion coupons worth $3.7 billion last year, according to NCH Marketing Services. I’m a big coupon user myself, and employ many of the strategies shown on the show — pairing store deals with coupons, using online coupon databases to plan trips, and scheduling shopping on double-coupon days. But recently, I’ve witnessed ruder shoppers and emptier shelves, and I’ve started to wonder if we’re selling off our decency for $1 of savings. Stories of extreme couponers gone wild prompted one Facebook community, Coupon Snippers of MN, to add a coupon code of ethics — “Do not steal coupons from papers you did not purchase.” ... “Just because it’s free doesn’t mean you NEED it. Purchase wisely.” ... “Be kind to your cashiers.” In other words, don’t go ballistic if they refuse one of your coupons. Maria Koshenina, a Somerset, Wis., mom who teaches couponing to the group, always reminds her students: “It’s one coupon. It’s not like it’s going to be your last deal ever.” In response to the trend, some retailers are clearing up the gray areas in their coupon policies. Target Corp. recently added guidelines on Internet and mobile coupons, and spelled out its Buy One, Get One Free coupon policy. Contrary to widespread reports, spokeswoman Erika Winkels insists Target only clarified its coupon policy, not made it more restrictive.

Even in hard times, saving is a must By Claudia Buck McClatchy-Tribune News Service

SACRAMENTO, Calif. — It’s July: School’s out, summer’s on ... and the financial surveys are out in full force. In recent weeks, a number of financial institutions trotted out their polling of Americans’ attitudes on their financial well-being, asking about everything from retirement readiness to spending confidence to emergency savings. The consensus: a majority of Americans — nearly 60 percent — are pessimistic about the economy’s ability to rebound in the next 12 months. But when it comes to their own personal finances, they’re more upbeat than a year ago.

That’s good news and maybe not so surprising. But one recent survey finding did jump out: Only 24 percent of Americans have set aside the recommended six months of savings. That’s the amount of living expenses you’d need in case of a financial emergency, such as unexpected medical bills or a job loss. Even among high-income baby boomer households, only half had the recommended six-month reserve, according to a recent Bankrate.com survey. Saving doesn’t happen overnight. It takes time. And for those beaten up by job losses, foreclosures or other financial misfortunes, setting money aside can be tough.

But don’t get discouraged if you haven’t done much about it yet, said Greg McBride, spokesman for Bankrate.com, the financial information website. Whether you’re trying to readjust after a job loss, or newly entering the workforce and saddled with student loan debt, the advice is simple: Start now. Start small. “That six-months savings cushion is a destination; it’ll take awhile to get there. You start one directdeposit at a time, from your paycheck or checking account, every payday or every month,” McBride said. It’s what financial advisers call “paying yourself first.” The trick is to treat savings just like you would any other bill or

expense, say financial counselors at ClearPoint Credit Counseling Solutions, a nonprofit consumer help center with offices in 10 states. “Regardless of how much you make, you can always save a little bit,” said Elias Del Gado, a ClearPoint spokesman. “Saving $10, $20 — any amount, as long as it’s a regular amount — will add up. At the end of a year, people see $300 or $600 they wouldn’t have had.” You can set up direct deposit with your bank, automatically pulling a set amount out of every paycheck. Or if you’re a disciplined saver, open a separate bank account and deposit the funds yourself at regular intervals.

“That six-months savings cushion is a destination; it’ll take awhile to get there. You start one direct deposit at a time, from your paycheck or checking account, every payday or every month.” — Greg McBride, spokesman, Bankrate.com

Shoppers to feel effects of debit-fee ruling By Eileen Ambrose The Baltimore Sun

You might not have paid attention to the fierce yearlong battle between merchants and banks over debit cards, but you’ll likely notice the outcome in your wallet. The dispute was over the debit card interchange fee — the payment merchants make to banks to process customer transactions. Last year’s Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act law required that the Federal Reserve ensure that the fee was “reasonable.” At the end of June, the Fed announced it was cutting the fee — but not by nearly as much as merchants wanted. Even so, consumers can expect repercussions. “The banks, any time they lose income, we eventually pay for it,” said Bill Hardekopf, chief executive of LowCards.com, a credit card comparison website. Debit and credit cards both have interchange fees, but the new rule applies only to debit cards — the plastic of choice among consumers. When you swipe a debit card, the merchant pays an average of 44 cents per transaction, according to the Fed. This fee in 2009 generated more than $16 billion in revenue for banks. The Fed had proposed capping the fee at cents per transaction, to the delight of merchants. But banks warned of dire consequences — such as the demise of free checking — if their income was slashed. The Fed settled on a maximum fee of 21 cents plus 0.05 percent of the transaction amount. That works out to about 24 cents on the average $38 debit purchase, the Fed said. The new rule, which applies only to big banks, takes effect Oct. 1. Merchants were crushed. “It shows you the strength of Wall Street,” said Rob Santoni Jr., chief financial officer of Santoni’s Supermarket in Baltimore. “Main Street retailers and grocers just aren’t as important” to the Fed. Santoni has watched over the years as interchange fees

Retailers may start steering customers toward using such cards, as well as cash or debit cards, in the wake of new fee regulations. have climbed. He says his single store pays about $46,000 a year in fees, making them the grocer’s third-largest expense, after labor and advertising. Santoni, chairman of the Maryland Food Dealers Council, said he was a big fan of debit cards many years ago, when fees were low. But once the cards started carrying the Visa and MasterCard logos, allowing customers to use the plastic in more places, fees rose and cut deeply into his already-thin profit margins, he says. He expects the rule to save him no more than $10,000 a year, a savings that he said will help him “maintain low prices,” daily senior discounts and double-coupon deals. Banks were relieved that the fee cut wasn’t deeper. Still, the American Bankers Association said fee income will be reduced by 45 percent, and consumers will end up paying higher fees for basic banking services.

Here are other changes industry players say consumers will see:

Fewer reward programs Banks had started to dump or restrict reward programs on debit cards in anticipation of the loss of interchange fee income. And that’s likely to continue. JPMorgan Chase, the secondlargest issuer of debit cards, told 8 million debit-card customers in March that it would be eliminating its debit-card rewards — including airline miles and cash back — in mid-July because of the cap on interchange fees.

Steering LowCards’ Hardekopf said retailers might encourage the use of cash or debit cards, instead of credit cards that will maintain the old interchange rates. For instance, he says, a merchant might offer a discount to custom-

ers paying in cash rather than credit. Or retailers might not permit a credit card to be used for small purchases. Baltimore grocer Santoni, however, said merchants aren’t going to risk alienating customers by dictating what type of payment they must use. “That’s business suicide,” he said. Banks, too, might steer consumers, but away from debit to credit cards, Hardekopf said. He says he’s noticed that banks have sweetened credit card reward programs in the past year for good customers, giving them more incentive to use that plastic.

Goodbye, free checking It costs $250 to $300 a year for banks to provide a full-service checking account, a service subsidized partly by overdraft and debit-card interchange

fees, said Nessa Feddis, senior counsel with the bankers association. Consumers can expect to see banks do away with free checking, or require customers to clear more hurdles — such as meeting minimum balances, using direct deposit or having more than one account at the bank — to avoid paying a fee for checking, she says.

More kinds of plastic The new fee limit doesn’t apply to credit cards and certain prepaid cards. As a result, consumers will see more banks jump into the prepaid card market, which has been growing anyway, Feddis said. And banks might bring back charge cards, which are credit cards that must be paid off every month, to appeal to consumers who want to control their spending, she says.

MIDYEAR STOCKS

A market of two minds pays off for mutual fund investors By Tom Petruno Los Angeles Times

LOS ANGELES — Caution and daring both have managed to pay off for stock investors in 2011. Some classic “value” stocks of blue-chip companies have revived as bargain hunters look for refuge amid a faltering economic recovery. Drug giant Pfizer Inc., for example, is up 15 percent this year. At the other end of the market spectrum, economic jitters have made “growth” investors all the more hungry for the most promising up-and-coming firms, such as restaurant chain Panera Bread Co. and health-information systems developer Quality Systems Inc. Both of those stocks

are up more than 30 percent year to date. For U.S. equity mutual funds, the market’s diverging tastes translated this year into respectable, broad-based gains, as winners more than offset losers despite the economy’s formidable challenges. The average domestic stock fund posted a total return of 5.4 percent for the six months despite slipping 0.1 percent in the second quarter, according to Lipper Inc. That followed a 16.2 percent advance for all of 2010. Now, at the midyear point, investors again may find themselves pulled in different directions — value versus growth — if they’re thinking of putting new

money to work in stocks or shifting current holdings. The U.S. economy slowed sharply in the first six months, battered by a jump in oil prices, Japan’s devastating earthquake, Europe’s worsening debt crisis and another downturn in the housing market. Although the mood on Wall Street brightened in the past two weeks, negativity returned Friday with the government’s dismal June employment report, which showed just 18,000 net jobs added last month. Other recent data, including reports on June retail sales, have suggested the economy still is expanding. Nonetheless, most analysts expect the U.S. recovery to

stay stuck in low gear unless hiring increases significantly. But many investors have been unwilling to walk away from the equity market, in large part because corporate earnings have continued to advance. Secondquarter operating earnings of the Standard & Poor’s 500 companies are expected to rise 12.7 percent from a year earlier, according to analyst estimates tracked by FactSet Research. Despite a 1.2 percent drop Monday, the Dow Jones industrial average is off less than 3 percent from its multiyear high reached April 29. Mutual fund managers who focus on growth stocks — shares of companies whose earnings

are expected to rise faster than average — say investors make a mistake if they equate a sluggish economy overall with a lack of market opportunities. “A lot of companies aren’t just muddling along — their business is on fire,” said David Hollond, co-manager of the American Century Heritage fund in Kansas City, Mo. His fund gained 8.7 percent in the first half thanks to an eclectic portfolio that includes BE Aerospace Inc., which makes airplane cabin interiors; Chipotle Mexican Grill Inc.; and online movie rental service Netflix Inc. Hollond’s stock-picking strategy is to look for companies whose sales and earnings are ac-

celerating, he said. What’s more, “We want to see that driven by a clearly identifiable catalyst that we think is sustainable,” he said. But Wall Street’s optimism about corporate earnings faces a key test in the next few weeks as second-quarter reports roll out. Disappointing numbers could quickly pull the rug out from under the stock market. Dennis Bryan, co-manager of the FPA Capital fund in Los Angeles, believes investors are overly optimistic about future earnings given the economy’s weakened state. “We think corporate profit margins are at a peak,” he said. “Odds aren’t high that they’ll persist at these levels for long.”

News Corp. Continued from B1 James Murdoch, a leading contender to replace his father as chairman and the driving force behind News Corp.’s bid to take over BSkyB, argued that the company should press for regulatory approval of the deal, said three people with knowledge of the discussions who declined to be identified because they were revealing confidential company deliberations. But Rupert Murdoch and News Corp.’s chief operating officer, Chase Carey, overruled the younger Murdoch, consulting him only after the decision was all but final. The deal to buy the remaining 59 percent of BskyB that it did not own was the single biggest deal ever attempted in the long history of News Corp., and the withdrawal is perhaps the most significant setback of Rupert Murdoch’s career. Yet he is said to remain hopeful that the transaction is salvageable. One person involved in the discussions said that the News Corp. chairman saw the withdrawal as a way to mollify his critics while waiting for the anger to die down. “Rupert is thinking long term here, I don’t think he believes this deal is dead,” said this person, who also did not want to be named. “He’s just looking for ways to relieve pressure for the moment, to give this some

“(Rupert Murdoch is) just looking for ways to relieve pressure for the moment, to give this some breathing room. He fundamentally believes News Corp. can bounce back.” breathing room. He fundamentally believes News Corp. can bounce back.” In a statement released Wednesday, News Corp. acknowledged that the mood in Britain had become too hostile to pursue the BSkyB purchase. “We believed that the proposed acquisition of BSkyB by News Corporation would benefit both companies, but it has become clear that it is too difficult to progress in this climate,” Carey said. But in its statement, the company said it reserved the right to make another bid. The announcement is particularly fraught for the younger Murdoch, who ran BSkyB from 2003 to 2007. James Murdoch, 38, has been the principal champion of the BSkyB purchase within the News Corp., pressing both his father and the company’s board to go along with the deal. With BSkyB reporting to James, who runs News Corp.’s European and Asian operations, the businesses in his portfolio would account for half of all the

News Corp.’s revenue. But the revelations of phone hacking in Britain have pulled James Murdoch in deeper by the day, with questions swirling in Parliament and the British press over his role in paying settlements to victims of the hacking. Already, two separate proposals have been floated inside News Corp. to split off the newspaper assets, which represent less than 17 percent of its revenue, into a separate entity. This new company, which would own the remaining British newspapers along with newspapers in Australia and the United States, including The Wall Street Journal and The New York Post, would then be run by new management. Such a move, which has been discussed previously inside the company, would allow News Corp. to pursue ventures like BSkyB without having to repeatedly answer for its journalists’ behavior, and it would please many shareholders and analysts who argue that the newspapers are a drag on the parent’s company’s profitability. This is a move Rupert Murdoch is certain to resist fiercely. Though Fox News has of late become the thrust of his political power in the United States, as well as a powerful source of revenue, his newspapers were the seedlings of his vast media enterprise. His emotional attachment to them runs deep, and they remain influential platforms not just in this country but in Britain.

Nike Continued from B1 “We’re powerless,” said the woman, who like several others interviewed spoke on condition of anonymity out of fear of reprisals. “Our only choice is to stay and suffer, or speak out and be fired.” The 10,000 mostly female workers at the Taiwanese-operated Pou Chen plant make around 50 cents an hour. That’s enough, for food and bunkhousetype lodging, but little else. Some workers interviewed by the AP in March and April described being hit or scratched in the arm — one man until he bled. Others said they were fired after filing complaints. “They throw shoes and other things at us,” said a 23-year-old woman in the embroidery division. “They growl and slap us when they get angry. “It’s part of our daily bread.” Mira Agustina, 30, said she was fired in 2009 for taking sick leave, even though she produced a doctor’s note. “It was a horrible job,” she said. “Our bosses pointed their feet at us, calling us names like dog, pig or monkey.” All are major insults to Muslims. Indonesia is the world’s most populous Muslim nation. At the PT Amara Footwear factory located just outside Jakarta, where another Taiwanese contractor makes Converse shoes, a supervisor ordered six female workers to stand in the blazing sun after they failed to meet their target of completing 60 dozen pairs of shoes on time. “They were crying and allowed to continue their job only after two hours under the sun,” said Ujang Suhendi, 47, a worker at a warehouse in the factory. The women’s supervisor received a warning letter for the May incident after complaints from unionized workers.

Company inquiries The company’s own inquiries also found workers at the two factories were subjected to “serious and egregious” physical and verbal abuse, including the punishment of forcing workers to stand in the sun, said Hannah Jones, a Nike executive who oversees the company’s efforts to improve working conditions. “We do see other issues of that similar nature coming up across the supply chain but not on a frequent level,” she said. “We see issues of working conditions on a less egregious nature across the board.” Nike, which came under heavy criticism a decade ago for its use of foreign sweatshops and child labor, has taken steps since then to improve conditions at its 1,000 overseas factories. But the progress it has made at factories producing gear with its premier “swoosh” logo is not fully reflected in those making Converse products. An internal report Nike released to the AP after it inquired about the abuse show that nearly two-thirds of 168 factories making Converse products worldwide fail to meet Nike’s own standards for contract manufacturers. Twelve are in the most serious

An Indonesian man inspects a Nike shoe at a store in Jakarta, Indonesia. Workers for a Nike contractor in Indonesia say they’ve been physically and verbally abused for several years, with supervisors calling them “dogs,” slapping them in the face or hurling sneakers across the factory floor almost every day.

“They throw shoes and other things at us. They growl and slap us when they get angry. It’s part of our daily bread.” — Indonesian Nike employee category, indicating problems that could range from illegally long work hours to denying access to Nike inspectors. A Nike spokeswoman said the company was not aware of physical abuse occurring at those factories. Another 97 are in a category defined as making no progress in improving problems ranging from isolated verbal harassment to paying less than minimum wage. A further six factories had not been audited by Nike. Nike blames problems on preexisting licenses to produce Converse goods that it says prevent the parent company from inspecting factories or introducing its own code of conduct. It says the situation is further complicated because the license holders themselves usually farm out the production work to a subcontractor. Most of the agreements have come up for renewal in the past five years. But it is only the past two years that it has made a concerted effort to incorporate Converse factories into the monitoring program that applies to Nike factories. “We have been working every time we can to renew those agreements or change those agreements or to cease those agreements and to ensure that when we do new agreements we get more ability to influence the licensee and their subcontractors much more directly,” Jones said.

Critics Some corporate experts question whether the company is doing all it can. “I simply find it impossible that a company of the size and market power of Nike is impotent in persuading a local factory in Indonesia or anywhere else in meeting its code of conduct,” said Prakash Sethi, a corporate strategy professor at Baruch College at the City University of New York.

Critics of outsourcing manufacturing to the lowest-cost countries say it keeps prices down but allows apparel, electronics and toy companies to reduce their accountability for the conditions in such factories. Even as concern about sweatshop labor has grown, some contractors have simply moved operations to more remote areas, farther from the prying eyes of international and local watchdogs. Indonesia is Nike’s third-largest manufacturing base, after China and Vietnam, with 140,000 workers at 14 contract factories. Of those, 17,000 produce its Converse line at four factories. Pou Chen, the largest of the four Converse factories, is located in a hilly city where the minimum wage is well below the national average. Sukabumi can only be reached by car — a five-hour journey across bumpy, winding roads. The plant started making Converse products in 2007.

Supervisors The Taiwanese contractor said it fired one supervisor after being told workers had spoken to The AP earlier this year. Others involved in mistreatment, however, have been allowed to keep their jobs, according to Pou Chen. Nike says the factory is developing programs to teach managers cultural sensitivity and leadership skills. It says it also is closely monitoring the PT Amara factory. After years of criticism over its labor practices at factories abroad, Nike in 2005 became the first major apparel company to disclose the names and locations of hundreds of plants that produce its sneakers, clothes and other products. It admitted finding “abusive treatment” — either physical or verbal — in many of the Nike plants. The complaints ranged from workweeks that exceeded 60 hours to being forbidden to go to the bathroom. The Beaverton, Ore.-based company has since invested heavily in training managers and more closely monitoring their activities. Nike has not published the locations of all factories making products for affiliate companies, which includes Converse, but plans to by the end of the year.

The vacant Evergreen Elementary School will become the new City Hall and public safety center. That project is projected to cost $7 million to $8.4 million. The plan allocates $1.5 million in urban renewal funding toward the project, but is dependent on the city securing the bulk of the funding from other sources. Richards expects to release a request this fall for proposals from architectural companies to design the renovation of the school. Once the design is completed and all other funding is in place, construction could begin as early as 2014. The current City Hall will then be converted into a family entertainment center featuring a theater, bowling alley and possibly other venues, at an estimated cost of between $3.6 million and $5.4 million, of which $1.3 million would come from the Urban Redevelopment Opportunity Fund portion of the urban renewal plan, Richards said.

Continued from B1 Zlatkus, who is also chairman of the Redmond Downtown Business Association, said he is optimistic about the revitalization envisioned for the downtown area under the urban renewal plan, especially the public funding that is intended to leverage private investment in a downtown hotel and convention center, and plans to promote the long-standing Eberhard Dairy as a tourist attraction. The dairy is located along Evergreen Avenue between U.S. Highway 97 and Sixth Street, which is Redmond’s main street. “I am a big fan of the plan,” said Zlatkus, who moved from San Jose, Calif., with his wife, Lori, 32, to Redmond in 2008. Outside of the downtown area, Darren Dickerhoof, an owner of Dickerhoof Properties in Corvallis, broke ground this spring on a five-store strip mall across the street from Walmart and just east of the Panda Express Chinese restaurant. He said he has been holding onto the property for several years. Dickerdoof said he has three tenants lined up for the 6,800square-foot mall, including GameStop, Great Clips salon and a U.S. Cellular store. His location is near a Jack in the Box under construction by developer Vin Mehta — who also owns the Jack in the Box on Northwest Third Street in Bend, and said the Redmond restaurant is one of six he plans to build around the West this year.

THE BULLETIN • Thursday, July 14, 2011 B5

Darren Dickerhoof, an owner of Dickerhoof Properties in Corvallis, broke ground this spring on a five-store strip mall across the street from Walmart where three tenants are signed up so far, including GameStop, Great Clips salon and a U.S. Cellular store.

Public, private funds Like most of the improvement projects included in the amended urban renewal plan, Richards said funding from other sources, either public or private, is required to complete the City Hall, family entertainment center and most other improvements envisioned in the plan. “It’s not a ‘build it and hope people will come’ plan. It will only happen if private investment partners are with us,” Richards said. “The plan is unique in that it is a leverage plan. Most of the projects do not move forward unless there are private dollars attached.” The city estimates the $93 million in public funds identified in the urban renewal plan will leverage $444 million in private investment, Richards said. Richards said the family entertainment center and many other aspects of the urban renewal plan focus on improving recreation, entertainment, shopping, dining and employment opportunities for families

Urban Renewal Plan 12th Amendment The business development comes as the city begins implementing the Redmond Downtown Urban Renewal Plan 12th Amendment that was approved by the City Council in May. It allocates $93 million toward converting vacant land and buildings to new uses. The first projects to be built will be a new City Hall and public safety center, said Heather Richards, Redmond’s community development director. Those will be followed by a family entertainment project, the performing arts center and a family recreation and aquatic center.

cludes $150,000 in funding to help entrepreneurs establish more pedestrian-based restaurants. Richards said these restaurants are typically smaller and more intimate and appealing to residents of an urban area than the traffic-oriented restaurants that went out of business after the Highway 97 bypass was built. She said instead of trying to recreate what downtown Redmond used to be, the plan seeks to create a city where people can live, work and play in a pedestrian-friendly urban setting. “We didn’t spend a lot of time reminiscing about what used to be downtown. We spent more time talking about what businesses would flourish in the future,” Richards said. The plan also will fund studies to look at the long-term need and potential for building housing for the existing low- to middle-income residents, and the potential for building high-end housing and condos to attract more affluent residents, as well as more senior citizens to live downtown in the future, Richards said.

‘A national trend’

Carpenters work on framing a Jack in the Box under construction in Redmond by developer Vin Mehta. Mehta also owns the Jack in the Box on Northwest Third Street in Bend. and people under age 35, who account for 52 percent of the downtown population. On Aug. 9, the City Council, which serves as Redmond’s Urban Renewal Agency, is scheduled to consider approving criteria for appropriating the restaurant program funds to help those interested in improving or starting a restaurant downtown

with the purchase of equipment and other capital costs, Richards said. To further the transition of the downtown area into a pedestrian-based model from the traffic and tourist-based model that defined Redmond when U.S. Highway 97 went straight through town, the plan also in-

“That is a national trend. There are a lot of baby boomers and young people just out of college, young married couples and families with children seeking that urban experience,” Richards said. “People move to Central Oregon for a certain lifestyle, but some people don’t want to live in the suburbs, they don’t want to maintain big yards or spend their time commuting,” Richards said. While city officials and members of the Redmond Downtown Business Association work to improve the downtown core so it is more attractive to the target local residents, more strip mall development is under way near Walmart and the North Redmond Highway 97 Interchange. “I have worked in communities where I helped combat WalMart going in, but we chose to

work with the reality. Wal-Mart is here. It is good for the community. It employs people and provides diverse shopping opportunities,” Richards said. Instead of trying to compete with the Walmart store, she said the plan seeks to create an alternative experience. Already, the Walmart and Home Depot are drawing shoppers north of the downtown area and Fred Meyer is drawing customers south. That’s giving developers like Dickerhoof a reason to invest in the Redmond’s outlying retail districts. “(The) Walmart draws a lot of traffic,” Dickerhoof said. “If you are next to Walmart, you have a certain number of cars that see you.”

Recession’s impact The company has owned 6.5 acres north of Walmart for several years, but Dickerhoof said with the down economy there wasn’t much interest from retailers in opening new shops on the property from 2008 through 2010. “We couldn’t get a tenant interested until early this year,” Dickerhoof said. Now with declining unemployment and other signs of an improving economy so far this year, he said “it seems like now tenants are looking to deal.” Dickerhoof said since the construction groundwork began in June, he has been contacted by other potential tenants interested in opening a pizza parlor and other types of restaurants and retail businesses in the two other store fronts he has available. After the five-store strip mall is completed and leased, Dickerhoof said he plans to begin Phase II construction next year on a larger project suitable for medium-sized box stores, such as the Dollar Tree, Big 5 sporting goods, and Rent-A-Center. Those retailers are among the tenants in a mall he built in 2008 in south Redmond on the west side of Highway 97. Ed Merriman can be reached at 541-617-7820 or emerriman@bendbulletin.com.

Investors welcome Netflix price hike

Continued from B1 Companies will have to plan accordingly for increased usage, including limiting data usage and creating tiered packages to charge a premium for big data packages. “Netflix has been the most significant factor in this increase (in peak Internet traffic) and represents the most significant percent of total online traffic,” according to a “collective group response” from BendBroadband spokesman Lance Judd sent via e-mail as a response to questions The Bulletin submitted to the company. Executives contributing to the answers included the Vice President of Business Operations John Farwell, Chief Technology Officer Frank Miller and President and CEO Amy Tykeson. “We anticipate that the overall trend of increased demand on high-speed network capacity, particularly during peak hours, will continue.” BendBroadband already has usage limits of 100 or 150 gigabytes, depending on the plan customers choose. According to the company’s e-mail response, between 1.5 and 2 percent of customers exceed the data limits. “Overall, we are seeing the average customer use about one-fifth (or roughly 20 gigabytes) of their total monthly allowance,” the e-mail stated. The BendBroadband executives wrote that other Internet service providers have been looking into and implementing usage limits. “Given the current environment, usage based billing is a natural and necessary model ...” they wrote. The company declined to speculate on the effects of the price change. But it did note that across the U.S., Netflix use accounts for “more than 20 percent of downstream traffic during peak times,” according to a report by Sandvine Inc., a Canadian company offering analysis and consulting for Internet service providers.

watch on Netflix. Through the Your Account & Help page, Netflix users can choose good, better or best quality, each of which has a corresponding amount of data usage. Kirkland, Wash.-based Clearwire Corp. provides wireless broadband service in all three Central Oregon counties. It has no usage limits in place, Debra Havins, a spokeswoman, wrote in an e-mail. The average customer uses seven gigabytes of data each month, she wrote. “I can’t speculate on how Netflix’s new pricing structure may influence data consumption behavior of Clearwire customers, but since we don’t cap our customers’ usage, they can continue to stream content to their hearts’ content,” Havins wrote. CenturyLink, based in Monroe, La., offers wireless Internet service — as well as phone and DirecTV services — in Central Oregon, with no usage limits. Spokesman Keith Burden said the company, which completed a merger with Qwest on April 1, has been expanding its network and capacity. He said the company is convinced data usage will increase in the years to come. For now, Burden said, it’s too early to tell how the Netflix adjustment will affect usage for individual customers. But even as online streaming of videos increases, DVD sales are dropping. A study by the Charlottesville, Va.-based media analyst SNL Kagan released in Interior Design & Finishes by

May showed a 44 percent decline in revenue studios received from DVDs in 2010 compared to the previous year. For whole video retail market — which includes direct-to-video titles and TV on DVD — consumer spending declined 10.8 percent to $11.86 billion in 2010. Some news reports on Netflix’s price change have mentioned sizable negative customer feedback. As of Wednesday afternoon, Facebook users had posted more than 44,000 comments — many of which displayed anger or the desire to abandon the company — on a post about the news on Netflix’s Facebook page. It’s possible current Netflix subscribers could switch to other online video sites, cable channels or video stores. Netflix did not respond to a request for comment for this article. According to a Netflix news release, Andy Rendich, the company’s chief service and operations office, said the new pricing is a better reflection of “the underlying costs … for unlimited DVD.” Costs include warehouses and shipping costs.

Bend girl, 6, found after going missing A 6-year-old girl who was reported missing in northeast Bend on Wednesday afternoon was found safe after a nearly four-hour search by police. Jamie May Steele had been in the care of neighbors on Northeast Eastview Drive when she disappeared around 12 p.m. Police searched nearby neighborhoods and the playground at Lava Ridge Elementary School. The girl was found unharmed at a friend’s house on Northeast Comet Lane around 3:40 p.m.

Deschutes eases wind turbine rules Residents of Deschutes County soon will have more flexibility to install wind turbines after the county commissioners voted unanimously on Wednesday to approve an ordinance to change some turbine rules. The new rules take effect in 90 days, county Planning Director Nick Lelack said. People already can install wind turbines under the county’s current rules, but height restrictions limit turbines and other structures to 30 feet. The height limit would prevent many turbines from accessing faster and better-quality winds, according to a previous county presentation. Some residents and wind turbine installers have said it is difficult under current rules to have productive wind turbines in the county, largely because of the height limits. The new wind energy ordinance will allow property owners outside cities to install turbines up to 36 feet tall that generate up to 100 kilowatthours of electricity simply by obtaining electrical and structural building permits. Turbines above 36 feet will be allowed with only the building permits if they generate up to 15 kwh, according to a previous county presentation. The ordinance will allow turbines that generate more electricity — from 15 kwh to 100 kwh — as long as they are installed at a distance from all property lines equal to at least the structure’s height. Noise from the turbines will be limited to 60 decibels, turbines must be painted neutral colors and no lighting will be allowed unless the turbine is near an airport runway.

911 workers to get 6% raise Deschutes officials, union fail to agree on any concessions By Hillary Borrud The Bulletin

Many Deschutes County 911 employees will get a 6 percent cost-of-living raise this year after the 911 employees’ union and managers failed to agree on any concessions this week. The increase, contained in the union’s current contract, is retroactive to July 1.

Law enforcement and county officials asked employees for concessions amidst uncertainty about the 911 dispatch center’s financial future. Much of 911’s money comes from a five-year levy, which expires at the end of June 2013. Twenty-eight employees are affected. Officials have begun to talk

about how to pay for 911 operations in the future, and the solution will likely involve asking voters for money as soon as November. The district could do this through another levy or by creating a new taxing district with a permanent property tax rate, police and fire chiefs said in June. County management met

with 911 union representatives Tuesday morning, and the two sides came up with concession ideas that the union took back to its members, 911 Director Rob Poirier wrote in an e-mail Tuesday. By Wednesday morning, it appeared county management and the union could not reach an agreement. Poirier referred questions to County Administrator Dave Kanner on Wednesday. See Raise / C5

COCC plan to extend loop road rolls ahead By Patrick Cliff The Bulletin

A plan to build a loop road extension at Central Oregon Community College’s Awbrey Butte campus is moving forward despite protests by homeowners who live nearby. During its Wednesday meeting, the COCC Board of Directors gave the go-ahead to begin the bid process for the roughly $225,000 project. The project, which does not have a start date, will be a 700-foot connection between sections of existing college roads. Though the vote was unanimous, there was some controversy at the meeting, with about 10 neighborhood residents attending. Two spoke during the meeting. The college previously considered a similar plan but pulled back after deciding there was no need. With COCC’s rapid growth, however, college staff members have changed their minds. Particularly at the campus core, along College Way, vehicle and pedestrian traffic has risen with enrollment levels. “What we’re trying to do is minimize the traffic coming into that area,” said college President Jim Middleton. If the college is trying to alleviate some traffic pressure along College Way, some who live near the proposed road are worried about a shift in traffic. John Harper owns the home closest to the road, which will be more than 100 feet from his property. See COCC / C5

$650,000 later, power pole moved out of sight By Sheila G. Miller The Bulletin

If your drive up to Mount Bachelor seemed more scenic this winter, that’s probably because there wasn’t a 70-foottall power pole obstructing the view. It took more than two years of negotiations to move the controversial power pole on the Cascade Lakes Highway to a less obtrusive location, but last

August the move was finalized. And hiding the eyesore didn’t come cheap. According to Darwin Thurston, the operations and engineering manager for Midstate Electric, the final cost to move the pole was about $650,000. It now sits several hundred feet away. The power pole, shaped like a cactus and clearly visible from the road, was placed in

the wrong spot in 2007 because of miscommunication between Deschutes National Forest, Midstate Electric Cooperative and Arrowood, the developer of Tetherow resort. “Originally the pole location was supposed to be on top of the ridge, which would have really shown up all over Bend, I think,” Thurston said. “So we had a meeting with the thenforest ranger and we made a

request to move it off the ridge so it would be kind of hidden by the hill and blend in with the hill. ... That was approved, but then it was determined by someone at the Forest Service higher up that it couldn’t be there.” Neighbors complained about the unsightly pole, and the group began looking for answers.

REDMOND — The city of Redmond is confident a $1.6 million grant to help fill foreclosed Redmond houses will be awarded next month. The Redmond City Council unanimously approved an agreement Tuesday night that allows the nonprofit Housing Works to administer the program. “The application has been tentatively approved,” said Kelly Fisher, home ownership manager for Housing Works. “Oregon Housing and Community Development has recommended the application for approval and is waiting on (the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development) to approve it. But they don’t anticipate any changes.” The money will mark the

“This is going to be amazing for the city. It will help homebuyers who are on the fence or otherwise couldn’t afford homes.” — Kelly Fisher, Housing Works home ownership manager

third time the federal agency has dispersed funds for the Neighborhood Stabilization Grant program. The grants provide potential homebuyers with an interest-free loan to purchase a house. The loans pay only a portion of the total cost but help bring the cost down on a traditional mortgage.

“It’s a second loan to their traditional home loan,” Fisher said. “We’re hoping this will provide down payment assistance for 22 home buyers in Redmond and eight in La Pine.” La Pine agreed to join Redmond in the application and will receive $225,000 of the award if it is approved. Housing Works will also manage La Pine’s money in the agreement. The cities were chosen for the award because of how badly they scored on a scale of foreclosed properties in the region. Redmond scored a 17 on the “need” score, placing it the highest in the state. According to data from RealtyTrac, a real estate tracking company, Redmond’s foreclosure rate of one in 326 housing units is the highest in Deschutes County. See Housing / C5

Environmentalists seek halt to Mount St. Helens drilling By Phuong Le The Associated Press

SEATTLE — Environmentalists are seeking to stop exploratory drilling on forest lands near Mount St. Helens in Washington state, as a Canadian company prepares next month to drill more holes to probe for copper, gold and other minerals. Ascot Resources, of Vancouver, B.C., plans to drill on a site within the Gifford Pinchot National Forest in Skamania County, Wash. The site is 12

miles northeast of the Mount St. Helens National Volcanic Monument. Gifford Pinchot Task Force sued the U.S. Forest Service in federal court in Tacoma last week to seek an environmental review. It says the project could lead to polluted drinking water and loss of wildlife habitat. The company calls the lawsuit frivolous. The forest service’s Ron Freeman says his agency has done an internal review and the company has addressed concerns.

Members of the David Thompson Columbia Brigade land in Vancouver, Wash., during a trip to retrace explorer David Thompson’s route down the Columbia River two centuries ago.

Paddlers near end of historical journey down Columbia River Group retracing route of explorer’s trek 2 centuries ago By Tom Paulu The (Longview, Wash.) Daily News

Lewis and Clark may have paddled down the Columbia River six years before David Thompson, but Thompson’s adventures two centuries ago are equally remarkable. A group of modern paddlers who will stop in Kalama and Longview hope to spread the word about Thompson as they retrace his 1,100-mile route down the Columbia. Paddlers in the David Thompson Columbia Brigade started June 1 at Invermere, British Columbia. By now well-tanned, the crew will reach the mouth of the Columbia at Astoria on Friday, 200 years to the day after Thompson completed his trip. “I think David Thompson is at least as important as Lewis and Clark,” said Brigade leader Ross McDonald, of Invermere. Consider that Meriwether Lewis and William Clark traveled about 8,000 miles on their round-trip, two-year expedition between the mouth of the Missouri River and the Pacific Ocean. During his career as a surveyor for the Hudson’s Bay and North West fur-trading companies, Thompson traveled more than 56,000 miles through western Canada and what is now the northwest United States. He mapped 1.5 million square miles and is regarded as the world’s greatest surveyor. Some of his maps were used for a cen-

tury before more accurate ones were made. Still, McDonald said Thompson is much better known in Canada, particularly its northern parts, than the United States. When Thompson paddled down the Columbia in 1810-11, he hoped to beat John Jacob Astor’s sailing expedition to start a fur trading post at what is now Astoria. Astor, however, won the race by two months. Thompson traveled with five French-Canadian paddlers, two Iroquois paddlers and boat-builders and two Salishspeaking interpreters. Their cedar-plank canoes frequently leaked. The re-enactors’ brigade paddles in nine unsinkable fiberglass canoes and has a platoon of support people in vehicles waiting every night. McDonald said “at any given time, we have about 100 paddlers,” some of them from as far away as Hawaii and Wisconsin. About 50 will be paddling at one time. It’s a natural voyage for several men in their 20s from Thunder Bay, Ontario. They work as historical interpreters at Fort William Historical Park, a place Thompson once visited. “We’re traditional fanatics,” said Graham McGuire. As such, the interpreters know how much tougher life was for the voyagers of Thompson’s day. “There were on the water 12 hours a day,” McGuire said, and each man carried two 90-pound packs over portages. Most days, the modern paddlers are on the water by 7 a.m. and come ashore by mid-afternoon. David Bates, another Thun-

In 1913, Gerald Rudolph Ford Jr., the 38th president of the United States, was born Leslie Lynch King Jr. in Omaha, Neb. In 1921, Italian-born anarchists Nicola Sacco and Bartolomeo Vanzetti were convicted in Dedham, Mass., of murdering

In 1960, British researcher Jane Goodall arrived at the Gombe Stream Reserve in the Tanganyika Territory (in present-day Tanzania) to begin her famous study of chimpanzees in the wild. In 1966, eight student nurses were murdered by Richard Speck in a Chicago dormitory. In 1976, Jimmy Carter won the Democratic presidential nomination at the party’s convention in New York. TEN YEARS AGO In a boost for President George W. Bush’s hopes to build a defense against ballistic missile attack, the Pentagon scored a hit with an interceptor that soared into space from a tiny Pacific isle and destroyed its target, a mock nuclear warhead. China convicted American business professor Li Shaomin of spying for Taiwan and then ordered him deported. Katharine Graham, the 84-yearold chairman of the executive committee of The Washington Post Co., suffered a head injury in a fall in Sun Valley, Idaho (she died three days later).

GRANTS PASS — A federal judge has dismissed some of the claims in a lawsuit brought by a Medford school bus driver fired for refusing to take a Confederate battle flag off his pickup truck while parked on school property. But Ken Webber’s central claim that he should get his job back because the firing violated his First Amendment right to free speech is going forward in U.S. District Court in Medford. Magistrate Judge Mark Clarke ruled Tuesday that Webber has not shown the Phoenix-Talent School District or the First Student Inc. bus company discriminated against him in violation of his 14th Amendment equal protection rights. He also dismissed claims under the Oregon Constitution. The school district and the bus company did not seek dismissal of the First Amendment claim. No hearing has been set for that yet. Webber, who is married with four children and remains out of work, said the flag was still flying from his pickup and he was keeping busy going to Rogue Community College for a degree in juvenile corrections. “I’m not backing down from this,” he said.

O Apparel firm takes sewing operations out of China The Associated Press SALEM — An Oregon apparel company cites inflation and quality control problems as two of the reasons it has moved its manufacturing out of China to rely on American workers. Nine 1 One Gear of Portland will now use skilled workers in Salem to make its line of outerwear for firefighters and emergency responders. In what company officials are calling a merger, Nine 1 One Gear is joining WaterShed Inc. The two brands will be manufactured at WaterShed’s 25,000square-foot Salem plant, the Statesman Journal reported. Products made by the merger partners will be marketed by a newly formed group called WaterShed Apparel, which employs 50 people. In addition to inflation and quality problems, manufacturing capacity at Chinese apparel plants is tight, and lead times for filling orders are growing longer, according to Peter Ettro, Nine 1 One president. “If you’re not a big-name brand, you’re going to get pushed to the bottom of the list,” Ettro told the newspaper. He launched his specialized clothing line in August 2008. “We serve industries that truly appreciate — some even mandate — domestically produced products,” he added in a statement. “It’s a wonderful feeling to have all of our operations back in the USA.” The company makes industrial-grade rain gear from materials such as Gore-Tex and nitrile-coated nylon. Some of its business is orders for U.S. special forces.

A ‘MORE MATURE’ GOVERNOR

Kitzhaber keeps critics at bay Oregon’s leader says being less partisan and more personal allowed some of his projects to advance

Lane County sheriff’s cuts leave gaps in daily patrols The Associated Press

By Jonathan J. Cooper Associated Press

PORTLAND — John Kitzhaber has, so far, managed to keep his admirers louder than his critics. The Democratic governor says he’s more mature and less partisan than he was when he wrapped up his first eight years in office, which ended in acrimony in 2003 after he dueled with the Republican-controlled Legislature. “I’m actually remedial. I can learn from my mistakes,” Kitzhaber told The Associated Press in a recent interview. “Clearly I’m much less of a partisan. I think I’m a little more mature in terms of understanding the importance of these personal relationships. I put a lot more time and energy into developing those on the front end.” It hasn’t all been rosy. Kitzhaber stepped on the toes of some important Democratic allies, and some of his priorities never left the ground. But, for now at least, most of Oregon’s political leaders, including some Republicans, can’t seem to say enough good things about the governor. “Just look at John and his leadership and what he’s done this session to bring people together,” said Rep. Kevin Cameron, of Salem, the Republican leader. “Oregonians can be proud because he brought us in and he brought the (Democrats) in. I have, personally, respect for this governor for how he’s handled this session.” This legislative session was different from his last, Kitzhaber said, because he had eight years out of office to observe the legislative process. “I didn’t have as good of an understanding of the budget, and quite frankly I didn’t have the kind of relationships with the legislative leadership then as I do now,” Kitzhaber said. As of Wednesday, the governor — who set a record for vetoes in his first administration — had signed 634 bills and vetoed just one. Kitzhaber’s friendliness with the Legislature allowed him to enact pet projects he

Lawmakers overwhelmingly voted to provide money to retrofit schools with energy efficient technology. They approved Kitzhaber’s initiative to redesign the Oregon Health Plan to focus on preventive care and reward doctors to keep patients healthy. They also gave him a framework for centralizing authority over education in the governor’s office. But Kitzhaber got what he wanted in part by angering some of his allies. The education plan in particular rankled some supporters, who complained that his negotiations with Republican legislators allowed the GOP to expand charter schools. “He may have been able to negotiate with the Legislature to get his priorities passed, but he certainly didn’t negotiate on behalf of Oregon’s students,” said Gail Rasmussen, president of the Oregon Education Association, the state’s largest teachers union, which supported Kitzhaber in the gubernatorial

election last year. The governor also faces other challenges to maintaining his glow. There’s no guarantee Republicans will continue to eagerly work with him in private — and sing his praises in public — as the 2012 and 2014 elections approach. His ambitious health care and education proposals, partially enacted by the Legislature this year, will need more bipartisan support to be fully implemented. And some of his other goals, like changing the “kicker” law that occasionally sends unanticipated revenue back to taxpayers, are little more than dreams. Kitzhaber dismissed the suggestion that his health and education agendas would be stymied by politics. “It’s a political world and it’s a political process, and we need to recognize that,” he said. “But … I think that people are really committed to making this happen, and I’m confident that the legislative leadership is going to put the enactment of these things above partisanship.”

SPRINGFIELD — Lane County Sheriff Tom Turner is cutting back patrol coverage to 20 hours a day, but he says he’ll vary which four hours a day deputies aren’t available to keep the bad guys guessing. Patrol staffing levels in the sheriff’s office have been low for years, but it is the first time patrol coverage has been reduced to less than 24 hours a day, the Eugene Register-Guard reported. The move was a response to budget cuts that went into effect last week. Turner said that in emergencies, such as urgent calls to 911, he will call in deputies on overtime. If overtime pay means the new arrangement isn’t cost-effective, “we will have to reassess it,” he said. Low staffing levels have been boosted by mutual aid agreements that sometimes can lead to deputies reaching a crime scene to find another agency’s officers already there. For example, Springfield police on Sunday responded to a shooting south of city limits and sheriff’s detectives and deputies arrived later, called from home. On Tuesday, police went to a house just outside the city limits to handle a man’s report that a pair of young hoodlums punched and pepper-sprayed him outside his home. Springfield police Sgt. Rich Charboneau said officers with his department don’t mind traveling outside the city limits to investigate a high-priority incident when sheriff’s deputies are unavailable. But it’s up to department supervisors to determine just how far city officers will go to handle a call outside their jurisdiction, Charboneau said.

O B Poachers sentenced to 4 ‘jail seasons’ EUGENE — A Springfield man and his son who pleaded guilty to poaching will spend the next four deer seasons in jail. Under a plea agreement with Lane County prosecutors, hunting season is “jail season.” On the first day of deer season, Oct. 1, Rory and Shane Donoho will start serving the first of four annual 90-day jail terms. The Register Guard reported they pleaded guilty Tuesday and could have faced more than three years in prison. Lane County Circuit Judge Charles Carlson also stripped both men of their hunting privileges for life. The Donohos also forfeited 19 rifles and 1,600 pounds of frozen game. The meat will be given to zoos and wildlife rehabilitation centers.

In a phone interview with The Oregonian, Gary Haugen said Tuesday that his current lawyers are working against him as they attempt to prevent his death. The inmate says lawyers Andy Simrin and W. Keith Goody are “doing it without my consent.” The lawyers argued in a motion filed earlier Tuesday that Circuit Judge Joseph Guimond’s “open hostility” toward them and his writings raise concerns about his ability to assess Haugen’s mental competence. A spokesman for the judge did not comment. The judge agreed last week to cancel an Aug. 16 execution date after the Oregon Supreme Court called for a competency hearing for Haugen. Defense lawyers say the 49year-old inmate is delusional. Haugen was convicted in 1981 of killing a former girlfriend’s mother and in 2003 for killing another inmate.

GRANTS PASS — Grants Pass police say they’ve made an arrest in a street fight that left a 60-year-old man fatally stabbed. Officers found Gary Michael Salomon of Grants Pass lying on the side of a street Monday night. He was pronounced dead at a local hospital. Police arrested 41-year-old Kiley Christopher Hudson at the scene for investigation of murder and assault. The Oregonian reported another Grants Pass man suffered a bite on the wrist and knee abrasions.

3 state investment officers get reprimands Grants Pass street fight leaves 1 man dead SALEM — The Oregon Government Ethics Commission voted Wednesday to reprimand three investment officers at the Oregon State Treasury. The Oregonian newspaper reports that a majority of the commission members agreed there were violations of state ethics law involving travel expenses and reimbursements while the officers were overseeing Wall Street money managers who invest public pension money. But the commissioners decided Wednesday not to charge the three for the violations because they were following flawed Treasury policies and incorrect advice from the state attorney general’s office. The paper reported last year that the investment officers often traveled in luxury, in high-end hotels, at top restaurants and sometimes accepted entertainment such as golf rounds, paid for by investment firms.

Removing obese kids from home is a viable option

n opinion piece in the current Journal of the American Medical Association is getting plenty of buzz, and with good reason. In it, David Ludwig, a physician, and Lind-

sey Murtagh, a lawyer, suggest that for some super-obese children, removal from the home might be appropriate. The article is far more nuanced than that. The authors define superobese kids as those whose body-mass index (a calculation made based on age, weight and height) is in the 99th percentile, a placement that puts a child at considerable and immediate health risk. For instance, Type 2 diabetes can result if a child is obese. If Type 2 diabetes is not properly managed, children with it face a shorter life expectancy than their healthier peers. What the authors don’t suggest is that all obese children, or even all super-obese children, be taken away from their parents. Rather, they suggest that state intervention might well be in the best interest of such children. It’s not an unheard-of concept. The state of Oregon intervened in the case of Alayna Wyland, of Beavercreek, whose parents belong to the Followers of Christ Church. Members of the church forgo medical treatment in favor of prayer, and the baby had a growth over her eye that, left untreated, threatened to blind her. The state assumed legal custody of the baby, though she remained at home and received the required medical treatment. Ludwig and Murtagh make a reasonable case for that sort of intervention. If the state has a stake in raising healthy kids, and it would be difficult to argue otherwise, intervention in which state agencies help parents

Removing a child from a home should be a last resort, they argue, used only when less-invasive techniques have been unsuccessful. feed both themselves and their children properly and exercise becomes routine may make sense. Doctors and others are required to report cases of suspected child abuse if they believe a child has been neglected to the point of malnourishment; why not, then, if a child’s health has been neglected to the point of super-obesity? As for removing kids, the authors note that the alternative, bariatric surgery, is also a possibility, but it presents health risks of its own. Removing a child from a home should be a last resort, they argue, used only when less-invasive techniques have been unsuccessful. While we suspect that taking obese children from their homes never will become standard practice, the two authors do make a point. Being dramatically overweight can kill you, and as American adults get fatter, so do their children. Unless we can reverse that trend, too many kids in this country face an unhappy future.

The good in the sting W

hen Bend police set up pedestrian safety operations as they did Tuesday at the intersection of N.E. Eighth Street and Norton Avenue, they’re not trying to trap unsuspecting motorists. Rather, they’re trying to draw attention to laws that make it safer for pedestrians to cross city streets. Tuesday’s was the second of four planned pedestrian safety operations this summer, according to Bend police. They’re well marked, with signs up giving motorists warning of what is ahead. Each is usually staffed by a decoy and a few other police officers who issue citations and warnings to those who violate laws regarding pedestrian safety. Most of the money to pay for the operations comes from a federal government grant. The intersection at Eighth and Norton has a crosswalk marked with paint and signs — it serves nearby Pilot Butte Elementary School. But in Oregon, a “crosswalk” need not be marked. Pedestrians have the right to cross, and motorists have the duty to be aware of them, at any intersection in the city. Generally, the law says a

car must stop and stay stopped for a pedestrian once he or she is off the curb on one side of the street and back on it on the other, though the rules are a bit different when the number of lanes rises above two. We couldn’t get the results of Tuesday’s operation by our deadline, but the one held late last month had police ticket five people who failed to stop for pedestrians as they should. They also issued close to a dozen warnings and came across another two dozen other violations not related to the effort. Motorists are ticketed for those problems, as well. These operations draw attention to a very real problem and help prevent terrible injury and death. Even the largest pedestrian is no match for the smallest car, and pedestrian safety is truly a two-way street. Pedestrians certainly shouldn’t dart out into the street, and, in fact, should always proceed with caution. That said, drivers must take a large share of the responsibility for pedestrian safety. Safety operations like Tuesday’s serve to remind us all of that fact.

My Nickel’s Worth Lyrics taint Bite of Bend

New math or fuzzy logic?

My wife and I thoroughly enjoyed the “Bite of Bend” this year. The food vendors get better and more creative every year. The Iron Chef competition gets more professional and the competition has increased in intensity. We attended both Saturday and Sunday. On Saturday, the band Norman from Portland blew us away. On Sunday, we enjoyed our incredible local talent, the Moon Mountain Ramblers. The sound mix by Black Eyed Productions added to the quality of the music. The tent over the stage seating area this year enhanced the overall music environment and kept everyone protected from the June sun. And as usual in Bend, the demographics of the people attending were all over the map, with a heavy emphasis on families with children. And of course the weather was perfect. One huge flaw. The band The Staxx Brothers came on at 5 p.m., right after Norman, and proceeded to shout out really obscene lyrics. As a husband to my loving wife, I was totally embarrassed. Families could not find the exits fast enough, leaving in droves. As a constitutionalist, I understand the right to free speech and freedom of expression. However, I was also taught the value of good taste and family. Believe it or not, freedom of expression and good taste can coexist. Hopefully we can have discussions with future bands about lyrics at a family event, especially before 8 p.m. Gary Jones Bend

Is there a “new math” at the Redmond School District? Or some kind of weird “fuzzy logic”? First, I’m not taking a position on the new teachers’ contract, just the comments made by Redmond Education Association President Karen Gray. As quoted in The Bulletin on June 18, “No one will make less than they made in the current year.” Really? No one? Not a single person? What about the nine to 11 teachers that will be laid off? I realize I received my master’s degree in math way back in the ’60s, but by my calculations, that’s a 100 percent decrease in the pay and benefits for those (soon to be) former employees. Of course, I’m sure she has enough seniority to not be one of those who are laid off, so maybe she doesn’t feel a need to recheck her math and logic. Harold Shrader Bend

Shorter term limits “Amen” to Maralyn Thoma for wanting to revisit term limits. I truly believe having term limits is the only answer for saving our downward-spiraling country. Term limits would recreate a class of citizen-legislators who see politics as a brief chance to make their country better — rather than as a long-term comfortable career for themselves. The judgement and perhaps even honesty of politicians is jeopardized by the need to constantly prepare for re-election. Elections often force them to do the popular thing rather than the right one, to act in the narrow interest

of their constituents rather than in the national one, and to pander to big business or other lobby groups in order to secure funding. Term limits would improve one’s tendency to vote on principle. Overwhelmingly, voters prefer term limits. I would have each U.S. senator elected for a 5-year term. Every year, 10 states would elect their senators, thereby not having a bunch of rookies in the Senate at any given time. No senator could get re-elected for a consecutive term, but could run for re-election 5 years later. Everyone needs to understand how big this problem is and solve it. We the people, need to make term limits a reality, because Congress won’t. Greg Evans Bend

Celebrate the pledge I have been following, with disgust actually, the City Council of the peoples’ republic of Eugene debate and decision to recite the Pledge of Allegiance only at certain meetings. One of the reasons cited was deference to “diversity” and “tolerance” within the community and, I’m sure, the council’s never-ending search for political correctness. I find it a sad day when reciting the pledge is even a debatable subject. Yes, we are a diverse society, and some of our citizens have sensibilities we may not understand or agree with, but we also were founded as a republic “indivisible, with liberty and justice for all.” So stand up and say it! Celebrate it. Peter Stoefen Bend

Companies don’t hire for altruism — they hire for profit By Harold L. Sirkin McClatchy-Tribune News Service

he U.S. economy added just 18,000 net new jobs last month, according to the Labor Department, pushing the unemployment rate up from 9.1 percent to 9.2 percent. There may be a reason for the persistent high levels of joblessness: because many, in Washington and elsewhere, don’t really understand why companies hire. Do businesses hire because Washington will spend taxpayer dollars to underwrite basic research, green energy, high-speed rail, and other politically popular programs? Some do, of course: those that directly benefit from such spending. But the vast majority of U.S. companies base their hiring decisions on the need to fill critical skills shortages, gain a talent advantage over competitors, or ramp up production to meet customer demand. Companies don’t hire for altru-

istic or patriotic reasons. They hire for economic reasons: The cost of each new employee, according to the company’s calculations, must be exceeded by the additional revenue the employee will help generate. We call this “profit.” Most major U.S. corporations have been reporting strong profits, but their hiring has lagged. So what’s the problem? Economic historian Robert Higgs, a fellow with the Independent Institute in California, attributes America’s anemic job performance to uncertainty: not knowing what steps the government will take to get its fiscal house in order and what form the hundreds of still-to-be-written rules and regulations implementing various new laws will take. If it survives legal challenges, the new health care law, for example, will affect virtually every employer in the country. The regulations implementing the law are still a work in progress. And then, of

course, there will be a battle over how the regulations are interpreted. It all adds up to great uncertainty. And this, as well as many other uncertainties, is holding the economy back. The government’s main challenge, then, isn’t creating jobs, but clearing the fog, restoring confidence, and inspiring us to meet head-on the challenges of a changing global marketplace. Until this happens, many executives will continue to delay expansion and hiring decisions. And investors will sit on the sidelines, too. So, how can America get its great job machine running at full tilt again? First, Washington needs to change its focus — from orchestrating the economy to restoring confidence in it. When business executives feel uncertain about the future, they play it safe by sitting pat and waiting for the storm to blow over. The politicians can restore confidence in the economy by showing they are serious about long-term fiscal discipline,

rather than bringing the government to the brink of default as it is today. They can do this by laying out a clear plan of action so taxpayers, investors, and executives all know what to expect and when. By laying out a course of action and sticking to it, rather than zigzagging whenever the political winds change, Washington can encourage more companies and investors to get back in the game. Washington also needs to show the business community that it intends to maintain a level playing field by making the same incentives available to all companies and industries, not just a select few. We need to innovate across the board. Third, we need to create the conditions where the American entrepreneurial spirit can thrive, by rewarding venture capitalists willing to risk their money on somebody else’s dreams and establishing policies that encourage

banks to expand their business lending. Small, entrepreneurial companies for many years have created the bulk of the net new jobs in America. Microsoft, Google, Facebook, eBay, Amazon — none of these companies existed before 1975. I don’t know what the next big thing will be. Washington doesn’t know either. Let’s let the marketplace decide. The United States still has the world’s largest and most-flexible economy. As wages in China rise and exchange rates move, U.S. manufacturing will become even more competitive. To remain on top, Washington needs to clear the fog, end the uncertainty, and create conditions where businesses will want to invest in the United States. That’s when we’ll see a serious jobs boom.

O D Roberts Blossom, 87, quirky character actor N By William Grimes

Roberts Blossom, a durable character actor who was known for playing cantankerous old coots, both comic and sinister, but who may be best remembered as the kindly next-door neighbor in the comedy “Home Alone,” died Friday in Santa Monica, Calif. He was 87. His death was confirmed by his daughter, Deborah. Blossom amassed a long string of theater credits before hitting his stride as a character actor in the movies in the 1970s. He performed in dozens of films, usually in small but memorable roles. He was an ill-fated patient in the George C. Scott film “The Hospital,” the delirious Wild Bob

Cody in “Slaughterhouse-Five,” Paul Le Mat’s ornery father in “Citizens Band,” the farmer who once saw Bigfoot in “Close Encounters of the Third Kind,” the convict who paints the warden’s portrait in “Escape From Alcatraz” and the irate judge who sentences Michael J. Fox to community service in the local hospital in “Doc Hollywood.” In a rare starring role, he was Ezra Cobb, a crazed farmer who unleashes mayhem, in the cult horror film “Deranged.” Posters for the film bore the tag line: “Pretty Sally Mae died a very unnatural death ... but the worst hasn’t happened to her yet!” He played against type in the hugely popular Christmas film “Home Alone.” As Old Man Mar-

ley, he was a threatening-looking geezer rumored to have killed his entire family, but the scary Marley turns out to be a sweet old fellow who befriends the character played by Macaulay Culkin. Vincent Canby, in an article in The New York Times on outstanding small roles, praised Blossom in “Escape From Alcatraz” for “one of his quietest, creepiest performances to date” as Doc Dalton, an elderly inmate who incurs the wrath of the sadistic warden when he paints his portrait. After being denied painting privileges, Doc cuts off his fingers in the prison woodworking shop, an expression of defiance and despair that Canby described as “serenely lunatic and unexpectedly moving.”

Continued from C1 One possibility, which would have cost about $300,000, was to move the pole north a quarter mile out of view of the highway. But Arrowood Tetherow complained about that choice and said it would potentially sue over it. So instead, the three groups agreed to split the $700,000 cost to bury a long stretch of power lines and move the big pole several hundred feet to the south. Just one problem: Tetherow suffered mightily in the real-estate bust and economic downturn, and couldn’t pay its share. Arrowood Tetherow representatives did not return calls for comment. “It just happened that the economy turned sour at the same time,” Thurston said. “They were trying to do some development that was going to bring in extra money and then the economy tanked and so Tetherow was out of the project altogether.”

Cost of move split So instead, the U.S. Forest Service and Midstate Electric split the cost. Jean Nelson-Dean, spokeswoman for the Deschutes National Forest, said the pole was moved in mid-August 2010. “It’s not very far away. It’s on the other side of the road, kind of behind some trees,” she said. The U.S. Forest Service paid $286,195 for the move. Midstate Electric paid the remainder of the $650,000. Since the move, Thurston hasn’t heard any complaints about the tower’s new location. Sheila G. Miller can be reached at 541-617-7831 or at smiller@bendbulletin.com.

Frank Mascara, an accountant and onetime factory worker who served four terms in the U.S. House of Representatives until losing his seat after redistricting in 2003, died of lung cancer July 10 at a hospital in Monongahela, Pa. He was 81. Mascara, a Democrat, was elected to Congress in 1994 from a blue-collar district in southwestern Pennsylvania. He entered local politics 20 years earlier by campaigning for county controller under the slogan “Your Mascara is running.” He served 14 years as chairman of a county commission before his election to Congress. A self-described “boring guy,” he seldom made public appearances in Washington and rarely spoke to the press. He served on the House Veterans Affairs Committee and later was a member of the House Financial Services and Transportation and Infrastructure committees.

He advocated raising the minimum wage, improving safety regulations to protect factory workers and supporting unions. After the 2000 Census, Mascara’s district was redrawn. The new boundaries put him in the same district as another Democratic incumbent, John Murtha, and the two faced off in a hotly contested primary in 2002. In the campaign, Mascara claimed that Murtha would not face him in a debate. He posted 6,000 “wanted” posters around the district offering a $1,000 “bounty” to the first person who could persuade Murtha to meet Mascara and talk about issues. Murtha won the primary, and Mascara returned to his home in Charleroi, Pa. Murtha died in 2010.

After Army service in the late 1940s, he was an accountant and insurance salesman in Charleroi. He also owned Colonial Consumer Finance, a loan business. He graduated from California University of Pennsylvania in 1972. His first marriage, to Frances Do, ended in divorce.

On television Blossom appeared in the series “Naked City” in the 1950s and later in “Northern Exposure,” “Moonlighting,” “The Equalizer” and “Amazing Stories.”

Theodore Roszak, 77, scholar who coined term ‘counterculture’ By Elaine Woo

Roberts Scott Blossom was born on March 25, 1924, in New Haven, Conn., and grew up in Cleveland. After graduating from the Asheville School in North Carolina in 1941, he enrolled at Harvard but entered the Army after a year. On returning from duty in Europe during World War II he trained as a therapist, but he soon began acting in productions at Karamu House in Cleveland and then moved to New York. He made his off-Broadway debut in 1955 in the Shaw play “Village Wooing,” for which he received the first of three Obie Awards. The others were for “Do Not Pass Go” (1965) and the Tankred Dorstplay “The Ice Age” (1976). His Broadway credits included

LOS ANGELES — Theodore Roszak, a historian, social critic and novelist who saw the youth rebellions of the late 1960s as a movement worthy of analysis and its own name — the counterculture — died July 5 in Berkeley, Calif. He was 77. The cause was cancer, said his wife, Betty Roszak. Roszak was an author and longtime professor at California State University-East Bay whose best-known work defined an era: He wrote “The Making of a Counter Culture” (1969), a nonfiction best-seller that popularized the word “counterculture.” Drawing on the works of influential thinkers such as Herbert Marcuse, Paul Goodman and Alan Watts, the book examined the intellectual underpinnings of the social tumult that began in the mid-1960s and extended into the 1970s — the campus protests, loveins, rock music and psychedelic drug fests that infected masses of young people and bewildered their elders. The youths comprised “a culture so radically disaffiliated from the mainstream assumptions of our society,” Roszak wrote, “that it scarcely looks to many as a culture at all but takes on the alarming appearance of a barbaric intrusion.” But where some saw a chaos of protesting college radicals, hippie communards, Deadheads and drug pushers, Roszak saw a serious movement with possibly redeeming value, a youthful opposition to the “technocracy” that he said was at the root of problems such as war, poverty, racial disharmony and environmental degradation. “This was a time when there was this immense cultural upheaval in the country. But what was this? Was it just a lot of freakish behavior? Was this ... an unintended consequence of

the Vietnam War? There was no conceptual handle on it,” Todd Gitlin, a Columbia University professor who wrote a popular history of the 1960s, said in an interview Tuesday. “People were trying to figure out, ‘What is this thing that has come upon us?’ He named it. That’s why the book was a best-seller.” Roszak wrote or edited more than 17 books, including “The Voice of the Earth: An Exploration of Ecopsychology” (1992), a pioneering work on the relationship between planetary and personal health. He delved into the movie industry, religious fundamentalism and the dark side of technology in several novels, including “Bugs” (1981), “Flicker” (1991) and “The Devil and Daniel Silverman” (2003). “The Memoirs of Elizabeth Frankenstein” (1995), inspired by the unconventional life of Mary Shelley, who wrote the original Frankenstein story, won the James Tiptree Jr. Award for its exploration of gender issues. “He was always trying to see under things, what does it all mean,” said Ernest Callenbach, a fellow Berkeley writer whose 1975 novel “Ecotopia” was also a counterculture landmark. The son of a carpenter, Roszak was born in Chicago on Nov. 15, 1933. His family later moved to Los Angeles, where he attended Dorsey High School before earning a bachelor’s degree in history from UCLA in 1955. He received a doctorate in history from Princeton University in 1958 and became an instructor at Stanford University in 1959. In 1963, he joined the history department at California State University-Hayward (it became Cal State East Bay in 2005). He took a leave of absence a year later to edit a small pacifist newspaper in London. He was there in 1964 when the free-speech movement erupted at the University of California-Berkeley.

pending on the consumer price index. The cost-of-living raises are also typically capped at a certain amount. From January 2010 to January 2011, the U.S. Consumer Price Index for all urban wage earners and clerical workers increased 1.8 percent, according to the U.S. Department of Labor.

The 911 union’s contract expires at the end of June 2012. The large cost-of-living raise was negotiated several years

ago. At the time, 911 employees agreed to take an additional 3 percent raise this year on top of their minimum 3 percent costof-living raise in lieu of a different proposal that would have added a new merit-pay step to their salary schedule, according to minutes from a 911 board meeting in March. County employee unions’ contracts typically set a minimum for annual cost-of-living raises, with higher amounts de-

noise,” Harper said after the meeting. Liz O’Connell, who lives near campus and is the Awbrey Butte Neighborhood Association president, read from e-mails sent to her from other association members. The e-mails criticized the proposed road and offered other options, which included “electric trollies” and buses, which could, the e-mail said, be powered by solar panels.

After the meeting, Harper, who brought a lawyer, said he was not sure if he or others would take further action. One option, he said, would be to appeal the city of Bend’s approval of the college’s plan. The college believes it has taken every step it had to and more, according to Matt McCoy, vice president of administration. McCoy pointed to efforts the college has made that were

not required by the city, including holding a public meeting with neighborhood residents in recent weeks. “We follow all of the legal requirements imposed on us by the (city) code,” McCoy said. “We are continuing to operate on the level we have.”

Continued from C1 Fisher said the numbers become reality if you drive around the city. “It’s best to see it by just driving around and seeing the homes that are empty with weeds up to the windows,” she said. “This is going to be amazing for the city. It will help homebuyers who are on the fence or otherwise couldn’t afford homes.” The grant also requires that $620,000 be used to purchase properties for low-income rental units. Fisher said those interested in the program must first contact their lenders. Lenders interested in the program must go through online training with the state.

CALIFORNIA STATE EMPLOYEES

Prison surgeon gets paid the most for doing little By Jack Dolan Los Angeles Times

SACRAMENTO — The highest-paid state employee in California last year, a prison surgeon who took home $777,423, has a history of mental illness, was fired once for alleged incompetence and has not been allowed to treat an inmate for six years because medical supervisors don’t trust his clinical skills. Since July 2005, Dr. Jeffrey Rohlfing has mostly been locked out of his job — on paid leave or fired or fighting his termination — at High Desert State Prison in Susanville, state records show. When he has been allowed inside the facility, he has been relegated to reviewing paper medical histories, what prison doctors call “mailroom” duty. Rohlfing’s $235,740 base pay, typical in California’s corrections system, accounted for about a third of his income last year. The rest of the money was back pay for more than two years when he did no work for the state while appealing his termination. A supervisor had determined that Rohlfing provided substandard care for two patients, according to state Personnel Board records. Rohlfing won that case before the board and was rehired and assigned to “mailroom” work in late 2009.

‘We had no choice’ “We want taxpayers to know we had no choice in this,” said Nancy Kincaid, spokeswoman for the court-appointed receiver in charge of California’s inmate health care. “If you are ordered to bring somebody back to work, and you can’t trust them with patients, you have to find something for them to do.” Rohlfing could not be reached for comment. His attorney, Joseph Polockow, said his assignment is an attempt by prison officials to get him to quit. “If you stick a doctor in a room for eight hours a day with no patients, you’re making it very hard on him and trying to drive him away,” Polockow said. Rohlfing isn’t the only doc-

tor in California’s cash-strapped prisons earning big money to shuffle paper. Dozens have been relegated to the chore in recent years, according to Kincaid, who said it’s the standard assignment given to physicians when questions arise about their clinical ability. Some eventually return to treating patients, some quit and others are ultimately fired, she added.

Others get back pay Last year, a prison doctor who was fired for letting his license expire and was later reinstated by the Personnel Board received $313,610 in back pay, records show. Another, fired for “extreme departure from the medically accepted standard of care,” was reinstated and collected $298,787 in lost wages. And a surgeon who had been fired, then put on three years’ probation, for missed diagnoses that led to the deaths of two inmates and treatment that robbed another inmate of vision collected $193,779 in back pay. California’s corrections system has a history of employing troubled doctors. When a federal court installed the receiver in 2006, judges noted that “2050 percent of physicians at the prisons provided poor quality of care,” and 20 percent had a black mark on their record when hired. Their shortcomings contributed significantly to the fact that a prisoner died “needlessly” every six to seven days in a state lockup, the judges said. Rohlfing’s difficulties date to at least 1996, when he suffered a psychiatric crisis while working at a hospital in Fresno, according to Medical Board of California records. After he engaged in “bizarre, irrational and delusional communications,” co-workers called police. Rohlfing fled when they arrived, led a car chase through the streets and was caught at his house. Two involuntary 72-hour commitments to psychiatric wards followed. The medical board, which licenses all doctors in California, placed Rohlfing on probation for five years, the board’s records show.

In August 2000, while still on probation, Rohlfing began working on a limited basis for High Desert State Prison in Lassen County in northeastern California. The state hired him full time in May 2003. Two years later, after the death of an inmate in his care, Rohlfing’s clinical privileges were revoked, effectively removing him from the practice of medicine. A review of his cases by a supervisor noted that two patients with histories of heart trouble, who had gone to Rohlfing with chest pains and other signs of cardiac distress, had not been sent to an outside emergency room. The supervisor determined that they should have been transferred because the prison clinic lacked the equipment to perform necessary tests, according to Personnel Board records.

‘Substandard’ care Neither patient died nor suffered permanent injury. But the supervisor, Dr. Robert Chapnick, determined in both cases that Rohlfing’s care had been “significantly substandard.” Rohlfing was put on paid leave for 18 months. In 2007, he was fired. Rohlfing appealed his termination to the state Personnel Board. It ruled that his examinations “may not have been textbook perfect,” but they did not amount to the inexcusable neglect of duty needed to fire a prison doctor. Rohlfing got his job back in November 2009, but medical supervisors decided he still was not ready to treat patients. Instead, he was put on records duty. He also participates in a retraining program designed to “evaluate clinical skills and provide feedback to the physician and the employer,” Kincaid said. The receiver believed that decisions by the Personnel Board were being based on an overly strict reading of state service rules, not on what might be best for patients, and successfully petitioned the court to order the board to hire outside medical experts for help with future cases.

THE BULLETIN • THURSDAY, JULY 14, 2011

WEST COAST LEAGUE BASEBALL Bend falls in extra innings to Cowlitz Cowlitz left fielder Billy Flamion scored on an error by Bend catcher Kyle Buchanan in the top of the 10th inning Wednesday night, staving off a furious comeback by the Elks to win 8-7 in a West Coast League baseball game at Vince Genna Stadium. Down 5-0 in the middle of the fourth inning, Bend (17-15 WCL) worked its way to a 7-5 deficit in the bottom of the eighth. Elks right fielder Justin Maffei then hit a two-run single to tie the game 7-7. Bend had runners on second and third base with two outs in the bottom of the ninth, but Derek Blankenship struck out to end the inning. In the 10th, the Elks managed one hit as Cowlitz (18-14 WCL) held on for the win and moved into second place in the WCL West Division standings. Corvallis leads the West Division with a 19-13 record. Bend second baseman Cullen Hendrickson went three for four with a fifth-inning solo home run for the Elks, who saw each of their starters collect at least one hit. Justin Maffei, Bo Walter, Tyler Christian and Ryan Dunn recorded two hits apiece for Bend. The Elks produced 15 hits but committed four errors. Bend reliever Joey McClung was tagged with the loss, giving up two hits and one run in 2 1⁄3 innings. The Black Bears and Elks conclude their three-game series today at 6:35 p.m. — Bulletin staff report

Bend golfer dominant at Tetherow Vijarro’s win sets up Central Oregon showdown in second round of match play By Zack Hall The Bulletin

Andrew Vijarro looked like a conquering general as he walked over a hill toward the clubhouse at Bend’s Tetherow Golf Club. It seemed fitting. The Bend golfer, who had a dozen or so family Inside and friends in tow, had just • Wednesday’s dominated his match-play results and opponent, Eric Frazzetta, of today’s Long Beach, Calif., 8 and 7. pairings, Vijarro’s Wednesday reScoreboard, sult was the most lopsided match (he led by eight holes Page D2 with seven still left to play) in the first round of the Pacific Northwest Men’s Amateur Championship. And it set up a Central Oregon showdown today with another Bend golfer, Jesse Heinly, who came back from two holes down with three to play in his match to advance to the round of 32. Bend’s Taylor Garbutt also advanced after his scheduled opponent was disqualified before the start of their match. After breezing through the first round on a sunny and mild day, Vijarro will certainly be well-rested. See Amateur / D4

CROOKED RIVER ROUNDUP

And they’re off

CAST for Kids nets big grins, lots of fins B

rush strokes of cirrus and low-lying stratus clouds painted the sky. A light westerly breeze whipped wavelets that winked in the morning light. Two dozen boats sat ready for the nine o’clock start. Youngsters with rods and tackle boxes picked up cartons of bait and life jackets while their adults drank coffee and jockeyed boat trailers in and out of the water. The crowd that gathered at the state park on the north shore of Prineville Reservoir was in good humor. It might have looked like a bass tournament. In fact, many of the anglers were taking a break from the BASS circuit to help out at this 14th annual Catch A Special Thrill (CAST) event. Volunteers from the Central Oregon BASS Club were on hand to help a few lucky kids (one of whom was actually named Lucky) plumb the depths of Prineville’s namesake lake. Bass, crappie and catfish were in the crosshairs. See CAST / D6

Americans look to snap winless streak in majors

Tour de France at a glance LAVAUR, France — A brief look at Wednesday’s 11th stage of the Tour de France: Stage: A 104-mile rainsoaked trek from Blaye-lesMines to Lavaur. An early breakaway of lower-placed riders never led the chasing peloton by more than 4 minutes, 20 seconds. With British sprint ace Mark Cavendish’s HTC-Highroad team doing much of the work, the peloton caught the escapees about 21⁄2 miles from the finish. Winner: Cavendish, who stormed past Germany’s Andrei Greipel in the final 300 meters, winning by more than a bike length. That made a hat trick of stage wins for Cavendish on this Tour and takes his career total to 18. Yellow Jersey: Thomas Voeckler, of France, who spent his second day in yellow. Next stage: Today’s 131mile stage will take riders from Cugnaux in southwest France to the top of the Pyrenees’ punishing Luz-Ardiden peak, where race favorites are likely to launch their first serious attacks. • More coverage, Page D4 — The Associated Press

SANDWICH, England — Tiger Woods is back home, nursing a sore leg. The rest of American golf isn’t doing so well, either. The U.S. is mired in its longest drought of the modern Grand Slam era, having gone five straight majors without a victory. Phil Mickelson was the last American to capture a title, more than a year ago at the 2010 Masters. Since then, it’s been two golfers from Northern Ireland (Rory McIlroy and Graeme McDowell), two from South Africa (Charl Schwartzel and Louis Oosthuizen) and one from Germany (Martin Kaymer). While players from all over the world describe the U.S. slump as nothing more than cyclical, Nick Watney concedes that it’s getting a bit bothersome. “You never want to hear you’re inferior,” he said Wednesday.

CORRECTION A graphic of Royal St. George’s Golf Club that appeared in Wednesday’s Bulletin on Page D3 included incorrect information about the second hole at the host course of the 2011 British Open. No. 2 at Royal St. George’s is a 417-yard par 4. The Bulletin regrets the error.

WOMEN’S WORLD CUP

MOENCHENGLADBACH, Germany — Abby Wambach sure knows how to deliver. A goal, a promise and soon, she hopes, a World Cup title. The U.S. women had fans on edge once again until Wambach broke a tense tie with her header off a corner kick in the 79th minute Wednesday. Alex Morgan scored three minutes later to seal a 3-1 semifinal victory over France, and the Americans let loose

with a party that carried all the way across the Atlantic Ocean. Next up, a trip to the World Cup final Sunday in Frankfurt that will be the first for Americans since 1999, when they last won it all. They’ll play Japan, which upset Sweden 3-1 to move one step away from realizing its own dream. “We’ve achieved part of our goal. We’re in the final,” Wambach said. “We want to complete it. We want to be world champs.” See World Cup / D5

S B Football • Report: Auburn still under NCAA investigation: An NCAA official told Auburn coach Gene Chizik that it is not done investigating the Tigers’ football program and the recruitment of Cam Newton, The New York Times reported Wednesday. Newton won the Heisman Trophy and led Auburn to a perfect season and national championship last season, his only one with the Tigers. Late in the season, the NCAA ruled that Newton’s father, Cecil, had tried to get Mississippi State to pay $180,000 for his son to play for the Bulldogs. Cam Newton ended up choosing Auburn instead of Mississippi State when he was being recruited out of junior college. The NCAA also ruled there was no evidence Cam Newton or Auburn knew about Cecil Newton’s pay-for-play scheme, so neither was punished. • Steelers’ Harrison to magazine: Goodell a ‘devil’: Heavily fined Pittsburgh Steelers linebacker James Harrison calls NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell a “crook” and a “devil,” among other insults, in a magazine article. The 2008 AP Defensive Player of the Year hasn’t been shy about ripping the league after he was docked $100,000 for illegal hits last season. In the August issue of Men’s Journal, his rants against Goodell reach another level of wrath. His descriptions of the commissioner include a homophobic slur, “stupid,” “puppet” and “dictator.”

Baseball • Needles have Clemens DNA, steroids; fakery claimed: Prosecutors said Wednesday that needles and cotton balls Roger Clemens’ former trainer says he used to inject the star pitcher tested positive for Clemens’ DNA and anabolic steroids — evidence the defense said was faked. Assistant U.S. attorney Steven Durham revealed the results during opening arguments in Clemens’ trial on charges of lying to Congress about using performance-enhancing drugs. Clemens’ attorney Rusty Hardin responded that he won’t dispute the needles contain Clemens’ DNA and steroids, but accused the trainer Brian McNamee of “mixing” it up. Clemens has said that the only things McNamee ever injected him with were the common local anesthetic lidocaine for his joints and vitamin B-12 to ward off flu viruses and stay healthy.

Basketball • Deal to sell 76ers done: The Philadelphia 76ers have been sold to New York-based leveraged buyout specialist Joshua Harris, ending Comcast-Spectacor’s 15-year run of ownership that included a trip to the NBA finals. The tentative deal, which does not include ownership of their building, the Wells Fargo Center, must be approved by the NBA. Terms were not disclosed, but the deal Wednesday comes with the league in the midst of a lockout. The start of the 2011-12 season in October is in jeopardy. The deal is expected to close later this year.

Sports • Nowitzki, Mavs take big honors at ESPY Awards: Dirk Nowitzki picked up a pair of trophies, including male athlete of the year, and his Dallas Mavericks were chosen as the best team Wednesday night at the ESPY Awards. Nowitzki also won as best NBA player during ESPN’s live telecast from the Nokia Theatre. Rick Carlisle was named best coach for leading the Mavericks to the NBA championship. Olympic gold medalist Lindsey Vonn won female athlete of the year for the second year in a row. Fresh off leading the Bruins to their first Stanley Cup crown in 39 years, Boston goaltender Tim Thomas won for best championship performance and best NHL player. Philadelphia’s Roy Halladay took home two awards of his own. The Phillies ace won as the best MLB player and for best moment for his playoff no-hitter against the Cincinnati Reds. —From wire reports

The best way to improve baseball’s All-Star game? End it. By Jim Litke The Associated Press

A Associated Press photos

The first half of this year’s baseball season has been marked by injuries to star players, surprising achievements, sudden slumps and historic moments. From left, St. Louis Cardinals’ Albert Pujols surprised everyone when he returned to the game just two weeks after suffering a broken forearm; Philadelphia Phillies’ Cole Hamels now has the best ERA (2.32) of all four of the Phillies’ “Four Aces” starting rotation; and the Milwaukee Brewers acquired closer Francisco Rodriguez from the New York Mets in the first big splash of the trade season.

Injuries to stars mar season With teams all over the majors trying to plug holes, all of the division races are wide open after the All-Star break By Jon Krawczynski The Associated Press

From Derek Jeter to Albert Pujols and Joe Mauer, you could put together an All-Star team just from the guys who have been stuck on the disabled list this season. If 2010 was the Year of the Pitcher, 2011 might just be the Year of the Injury. David Wright, Buster Posey and Zack Greinke have missed big chunks of time as well, and the rash of injured stars may be one of the biggest reasons that all six division races are so close heading into the unofficial second half of the season. With so many teams playing short-handed, no one has been able to break away from the pack yet and take command of the pennant race, setting up a 2½-month sprint to the finish. Jeter spent 21 days on the shelf with a calf injury that slowed his pursuit of 3,000 hits, Pujols stunned everyone by coming back from a broken forearm after just two weeks and Mauer’s seemingly unimpeachable image in his home state of Minnesota took a big hit when he spent most of the first two months of the season rehabbing a mysterious leg injury. The current disabled list is chock full of stars — Johan Santana, Jon Lester, Roy Oswalt, Carl Crawford, Josh Johnson, Justin Morneau. And many of the trips haven’t been quick ones. Wright has been on the list since May 16 with a stress fracture in his lower back, Morneau is not expected back until mid-August after having neck surgery and Johnson was placed on the 60-day disabled list with right shoulder inflammation on May 17. Others won’t be back at all this year. Posey, San Francisco’s bright young star catcher, is out after breaking his left leg and straining some ligaments in his left ankle on a home plate collision with Florida’s Scott Cousins on May 25. Cardinals ace Adam Wainwright, Yankees right-hander Joba Chamberlain and Boston’s Daisuke Matsuzaka have all had surgery on their pitching elbows and are rehabbing for 2012. It even sent the All-Star managers searching a little bit to fill a few holes created by injuries. “You are scrambling a bit when you have the number of injuries that we have to deal with before we chose the team,” NL manager Bruce Bochy said on Monday. The Red Sox, Cardinals and Giants have somehow been able to weather a series of significant injuries and sit atop their respective divisions as the

second half of the season is about to commence. Others such as the Twins, who have watched eight regular players hit the DL for extended periods of time, and the Tampa Bay Rays, who saw Evan Longoria miss 26 games with an oblique injury, got off to slow starts in part because of health problems. With the air-tight nature of the playoff chase — all six division leaders have a cushion of 3½ games or fewer — it is conceivable that the teams who are able to remain the healthiest and avoid any more key injuries will be the ones that advance to the postseason. How teams choose to address key injuries will also add some intrigue to the trade deadline, which is three weeks away. Here’s a quick look at the stars, slumps and surprises of the first half of the season:

Stars • Jose Reyes, SS, New York Mets: Electrifying presence has made the Mets worth watching. Leading NL with .354 average and 15 triples, six more than next closest hitter. • Matt Kemp, CF, Los Angeles Dodgers: Allaround stud. Hitting .313 with 22 homers and 67 RBIs. Been intentionally walked 12 times and leads in many of the stat geeks’ favorite categories, including wins over replacement. • Jair Jurrjens, RHP, Atlanta Braves: Leads NL in wins (12), ERA (1.87) to keep Braves within striking distance of the juggernaut in Philadelphia. • Jose Bautista, OF/3B, Toronto Blue Jays: His assault continues. Belted a league-high 31 homers in first half and also hitting .334, second in the league while playing two positions. • Adrian Gonzalez, 1B, Boston Red Sox: Worth everything that the Red Sox invested. Leading league with .354 average and 77 RBIs with 17 homers. • Justin Verlander, RHP, Detroit Tigers: With apologies to All-Star starter Jered Weaver, Verlander has been the AL’s best pitcher in the first half. Is 125 with a 2.15 ERA and league-leading 147 strikeouts. Also tossed a no-hitter on May 7 at Toronto.

Slumps • Los Angeles Dodgers: Pretty much everything has gone wrong for one of baseball’s tradition-rich franchises. Owner Frank McCourt is in a bitter

battle with MLB over control of the team, with the fight spilling into bankruptcy court. And the team has sunk to the bottom of the NL West in Don Mattingly’s first season as manager. • J.A. Happ, RHP, Houston Astros: Hasn’t recorded a victory since May 14, falling to 3-10 with a 5.63 ERA. Happ is 0-6 with a 5.85 ERA during his skid, and the Astros are winless in those nine starts. • Adam Dunn, DH, Chicago White Sox: Hitting .160 with nine homers, 34 RBIs and 117 strikeouts in first year of a four-year, $56 million contract. Hitting .031 (2 for 64) against lefties. • John Lackey, RHP, Boston Red Sox: Has been a massive disappointment since signing a five-year, $82.5 million deal before last season. Is 6-8 with a 6.84 ERA this year.

Surprises • Pittsburgh Pirates: The perennial losers are in the middle of a stunningly successful season, riding CF Andrew McCutchen and closer Joel Hanrahan to a 47-43 record, just one game behind the Cardinals and Brewers in the NL Central. • Lance Berkman, OF, St. Louis Cardinals: In the middle of a career resurgence, leading NL with 24 homers. • Curtis Granderson’s power: The New York Yankees’ center fielder struggled in his first year in pinstripes, but has rebounded in a big way this year. His 25 homers at the break are the secondhighest total in the majors, behind Bautista. • The top ace in Philly: When the Phillies unveiled their ‘Four Aces’ starting rotation, Cole Hamels was the last one mentioned. Not now. Hamels has the best ERA (2.32) of any of the four and his 11 wins are tied with Roy Halladay for the team lead.

Memorable moments • Jeter’s 3,000th hit: Like everything else in his championship-drenched career, the Yankees shortstop did it in style, hitting a homer to become the 28th player in MLB history to achieve the feat in a five-hit day. • Brewers acquire K-Rod: Milwaukee GM Doug Melvin made the first big splash of the trade season, announcing just after the All-Star game that he got closer Francisco Rodriguez from the Mets to bolster the bullpen and try to make what is expected to be Prince Fielder’s last year in Milwaukee a memorable one. • Heath Bell slides into the infield: What an entrance for the Padres reliever in the All-Star game. The big right-hander sprinted nearly 18 mph to the infield and executed a one-knee slide to take a divot out of the infield just before he hit the mound.

Mariners: buyers or sellers as second half begins? By Tim Booth The Associated Press

SEATTLE — An underperforming offense, mixed with dominating pitching has left the Seattle Mariners at the All-Star break with a surprising record, mixed with a tinge of missed opportunity. It’s created a murky definition for the 43-48 Mariners who before the year appeared headed for a rough season trying to bridge a troubled past with the promise of young stars and a bright future. But as the second half begins on Thursday night at home against AL West-leading Texas, Seattle faces a balance between taking advantage of its pitching staff and attempting to be a contender, or continuing its youth movement toward 2012. The final week before the All-Star break could have sealed which direction the Mariners head in the second half, with five straight losses that dropped Seattle 7½ games back in the division. They begin the second half with a brutal 13-game stretch — four at home versus Texas, then a road trip to Toronto, Boston and the New York Yankees. By the time Seattle returns home on July 29, its status should be clearer. Then again, just using the “contender” phrase associated with the Mariners in a season with no expectations is an accomplishment for first-year manager Eric Wedge. The surprising success is largely due to a pitching staff that has the second-best ERA in the American League and has tried to make up for

Elaine Thompson / The Associated Press

Seattle Mariners’ Felix Hernandez leans back for a breather during the a baseball game against the Atlanta Braves in June. The reigning AL Cy Young Award winner has only the fourth-best ERA among Seattle’s starters. the Mariners’ anemic offense that has seen underperformances by everyone from Chone Figgins and his .183 batting average to a slumping Ichiro Suzuki. But for all Seattle’s rotation of Felix Hernandez, rookie Michael Pineda, a resurgent Erik Bedard and Jason Vargas and Doug Fister have done, it may not be enough to overcome the team’s offensive problems. “You want to be able to go out there and give everyone a break from time

to time,” Wedge said just before the All-Star break. “I feel we’re going to be a better offensive club in the second half, but the fight has been good. The experience in all these close games is going to come back to help us. Every day is tight. Having the experience of playing those tight games, those tough games emotionally, mentally whatever it is, it’s taxing and these guys have been able to come through and handle it.” It hasn’t been the easiest first half for Wedge to manage. The Mariners have debuted eight rookies during the first three months and with that can come headaches. The team has also had to deal with substandard performances by some of the veterans. Troubled outfielder Milton Bradley was sent packing in May. Jack Wilson, with his $5 million salary, has become a bench player, same with Figgins now after the arrival of third base prospect Kyle Seager. Jack Cust, thought to be a possible answer for Seattle’s lacking lefthanded pop, has been replaced as the regular designated hitter by a combo of others. The Mariners might stick around on the fringes a bit longer thanks to its pitching. Hernandez is the reigning AL Cy Young Award winner, yet has the fourth-best ERA among Seattle’s starters. Pineda has flashed an arm that makes fans dream of Hernandez and Pineda at the top of a dominant staff for years to come. Fister is just 3-10, but has a 3.09 ERA, while Vargas already has thrown four complete games. All five Seattle starters have sub-3.50 ERAs.

In the bullpen, Brandon League stepped into the closer role and became an All-Star with 23 saves in the first half. “I’m close but I’ve been inconsistent. I throw one game good then one OK. I’ve got to be more consistent and just try to do what I did last year,” Hernandez said. Much of the final 2½ months will focus on the development of second baseman Dustin Ackley, first baseman Justin Smoak, Seager and outfielders Greg Halman and Carlos Peguero. Just 20 games into his major league career, Ackley might already be the Mariners best hitter with a .304 average and three homers. Smoak has endured a two-month slump but has flashed a bat that made him the centerpiece of what Seattle acquired from Texas in exchange for Cliff Lee last summer. Seager rolled through the minor-league system, needing just a handful of games at Triple-A before getting promoted. Just what Seattle does at the trade deadline could be determined in the next week. Make a push and perhaps general manager Jack Zduriencik tries to acquire some offense. Continue to struggle and some pieces may be shipped out. Most speculation has centered on the comeback of Bedard, a pleasant surprise after missing most of the past two seasons with shoulder trouble. But he recently found himself on the disabled list with a sprained knee. He’s only on a one-year contract and could have some significant suitors as July progresses if he can get back on the mound.

bsent from the endless discussions about how to improve baseball’s AllStar game was the one that would solve all the problems immediately. End it. Seriously. Would anyone other than Bud Selig notice? Or care? And just imagine if the idea gets traction across the sports spectrum. If the pro leagues really want to do something for fans, other than pick their pockets, keep the breaks in midseason and have the players perform community service — e.g., stage sports clinics in their hometowns. For one thing, they might be better attended than the All-Star game. Almost a fifth of the players named to baseball’s two squads had already voted no with their feet, electing to park them somewhere besides Phoenix on Tuesday night, rendering the National League’s 5-1 win an even more meaningless exercise than usual. And the problem wasn’t just a lack of quantity, but quality. Yankees shortstop Derek Jeter might be the face of baseball, but his body was already in R&R mode. He sneaked off to Florida with girlfriend Minka Kelly, enraging all those commentators who exhausted their store of superlatives praising him over the weekend, the TV executives at FOX who spent hours dreaming up all those promotional tie-ins, and who knows how many of the 4 million who penciled Jeter into the AL starting lineup. Surprisingly, the voice of reason in the debate turned out to be the commissioner. “There isn’t a player that I’m more proud of in the last 15 years than Derek Jeter. He’s played the game the way it should be played. He’s an even greater human being off the field,” Selig said. “I think I would have made the same decision that Derek Jeter had.” Of course, this was the same commissioner who called off the 2002 game — and in his home park in Milwaukee, no less — when both teams ran out of relief pitchers after 11 innings in a tie game. Convinced that raising the stakes would prevent future defections and convince the All-Star managers to hold back enough players to prevent a repeat, Selig then hammered out an agreement with the players’ union the following year to award home-field advantage for the World Series to whichever league won the game. Even so, the list of AL starting pitchers who, like Jeter, passed up a chance to appear — either because they were injured, resting or worked a regular-season game Sunday — read like the first round of everybody’s fantasy draft: Detroit’s Justin Verlander, the Yankees’ CC Sabathia and closer Mariano Rivera, Seattle’s Felix Hernandez, Tampa Bay’s James Shields and Boston’s Jon Lester. Lester’s Red Sox teammate, Josh Beckett, scheduled as the second AL pitcher, then bowed out during warmups because of a sore knee. Beckett said afterward he would have pitched through the discomfort had it been a regular-season game. Some incentive home field for the World Series turned out to be. Predictably, the Nationals rode superior pitching and some timely hits to win. They were also better at pretending that it meant something. “That was part of the message, how important it was for us, and how important the game was: Do it again for the National League champion,” said San Francisco and NL manager Bruce Bochy, whose team was awarded home-field advantage in last year’s series. The only sign that it mattered to the NL players during the game was a goofy slide by the Padres’ Heath Bell. He sprinted out of the bullpen and ripped up a piece of turf the size of a toupee just short of the mound. “I told some guys I wanted to have fun this All-Star game and needed some ideas, so guys back home kind of said slide on the mound,” Bell recalled. “Bochy said before the game that this really counts, so I thought I was not going to do it, but then we were up by four runs.” Even the ballplayers conceded that as far as suspense, that was pretty much it. “I don’t know if I’d make it. I think I’d slip, ankle, flip, next thing you know,” Giants closer Brian Wilson said, “I can’t pitch.” The All-Star game wasn’t always like that. Guys used to treat the game as an honor instead of worrying about getting hurt. The highlights from past games running wall to wall on ESPN proved that. How many times did you see the Pete Rose collision at the plate with Ray Fosse in the 1970 contest? And what are the chances you’ll ever see anything like it in an All-Star game again? The guess here is never. There’s no need to romanticize the good old days. We like to think the players competed for pride, but even back then, it was about money. The problem, though, is that there’s so much more money on the line these days that the likelihood of any player in any All-Star game would step outside his comfort zone is practically nil. And it’s not just baseball. The NFL’s Pro Bowl is a glorified flag-football contest and even the NBA and NHL versions, which are entertaining enough as displays of offensive firepower, offer so little defense and intensity that calling them honest games stretches the truth. So go ahead, Bud, make a statement. Either make attendance at the game mandatory, or just make the midsummer break a vacation. If it ever deserved the label “classic,” it’s anything but that these days. Jim Litke is a national sports columnist for The Associated Press. Write to him at jlitke@ ap.org.

CYCLING: TOUR DE FRANCE

Contador hopes his knee holds up in Pyrenees By Jerome Pugmire The Associated Press

Andy Tullis / The Bulletin

Andrew Vijarro chips onto the seventh green at Tetherow Golf Club in Bend during the Pacific Northwest Men’s Amateur Championship, Wednesday. Vijarro won his match to advance to today’s play.

Amateur Continued from D1 “If you make it as long as you plan on making it, you get tired by the end of the week,” said Vijarro, a senior-to-be at the University of Oregon, where he plays for the Duck men’s golf team. “And you need as much rest as you can get.” On a strange day at Tetherow that saw play delayed more than 30 minutes because a tournament volunteer was injured in a golf-cart accident, Vijarro’s performance perhaps overshadowed it all. Vijarro, the tournament’s No. 11 seed, seems comfortable with match play, even if it might have cost him a chance Wednesday at a course record. Just two weeks ago he advanced to the quarterfinals of the U.S. Amateur Public Links Championships. But he played even better at the Northwest Am. Vijarro never lost a hole against Frazzetta, a Chico State University golfer, though he played the first five holes at 1 over par. Vijarro, a former Bend High golf standout, birdied the sixth hole and hit a 15-foot putt for eagle on the par-5 ninth to go 6 up at the turn. He put Frazzetta away with birdies on the 10th and 11th holes, ending the match with a stroke-play score of 4 under. Tetherow’s course record is 5-under 67, fired Tuesday in stroke play by the tournament’s top seed, David Fink, of Kailua, Hawaii. “It’s match play, so the course record doesn’t matter at all,” Vijarro said. “But it would have been great to have that. Maybe later in the week. You never know.” Heinly is hoping that if Vijarro does set the course record, he

British Continued from D1 Coming into the British Open, Europeans hold the top four spots in the world rankings. Steve Stricker is the highest American at No. 5. With Woods sidelined by an injury, the 22-year-old McIlroy is a solid favorite to follow up his eight-stroke victory at the U.S. Open with another major title at Royal St. George’s. The bookies also like a pair of Englishmen who happen to be 1-2 in the world rankings, Luke Donald and Lee Westwood. The Americans? Just an afterthought on the eve of the opening round. “In the grand scheme of things, it’s not such a big deal. In 40 years time, it will look like a blip,” said Padraig Harrington of Ireland, a three-time major winner. “But when you look at the smaller picture, it’s easy to say that Europe has become dominant in golf — until you remember that two of those majors were won by South Africans. They’re a strong country, too. And I think the next few majors might be won by the Australians.” As in many sports, from basketball to tennis to swimming, the rest of the world has sliced into America’s once-commanding position. Golf is no different, with 24 nations represented at this seaside course in southern England. Some of them, it would seem, have only tapped into their

what Vijarro means. Raber and Haggen happen to be college roommates at UC Davis in California, and they traveled together for the Northwest Am. In one of the strangest pairings in the first round, the two seniors-to-be at UC Davis drew each other Wednesday. Raber outlasted Haggen, 3 and 1. But both golfers were smiling after the round. Will Raber be holding his win over Haggen’s head? “Maybe if I beat him like 10 and 8, and just drummed him,” Raber said. “We both played pretty well, so it was a good match.” Bend’s Garbutt did not have a match at all on his way to advancing to the round of 32. How is that possible? His scheduled opponent, Austin Hurt, of Bainbridge Island, Wash., was disqualified Wednesday morning when tournament officials discovered he had signed for the wrong score on his card after Tuesday’s stroke-play round. That gave Garbutt, a 21-yearold caddie at Tetherow, a free pass into the round of 32. “I would probably prefer to win it outright actually playing golf,” said Garbutt, a former Summit High golfer. “But it’s nice to get in (the round of 32).” Redmond’s Alex Fitch was the only Central Oregonian to lose his match Wednesday, falling to Joseph Harrison, of Boulder City, Nev., 4 and 2. The Northwest Amateur continues with today’s round of 32. The winners of those matches advance to the round of 16, which is scheduled to be played this afternoon. Spectators are welcome, and admission is free.

doesn’t do it this morning when the two Bend golfers meet. That matchup appeared unlikely for a time Wednesday as Heinly, a sophomore-to-be at Concordia University in Portland, fell two holes behind with three to play against Jeremy Wendelken, of Sammamish, Wash. But Heinly rallied with three consecutive pars, after an escape from behind a tree on 18, while Wendelken carded a triple bogey and two bogeys. That gave Heinly, the No. 19 seed, the win, 1 up. “I’ll take what I can get,” Heinly said afterward with a laugh. Just after the match, Heinly, a graduate of Summit High, was already looking forward

to playing Vijarro. The two had played against each other in high school and have remained in touch, Heinly said. “We’re good friends, and it will be fun tomorrow,” said Heinly. “I need to pick it up a little bit to have a chance.” Vijarro likewise was looking forward to the all-Central Oregon match. But he would rather have played Heinly on Saturday in the Northwest Amateur’s 36hole championship match. “It kind of sucks because it’s so early on, but it’ll be a good time to play (Heinly),” Vijarro said. “If you win, you get bragging rights.” Tyler Raber, of El Macero, Calif., and Andrew Haggen, of Walnut Creek, Calif., know just

potential. “Certainly we all expect that in the next couple of decades, Asia is going to have a very strong presence in the game of golf,” Mickelson said. But for all the talk about this being more about the rest of the world catching up than the Americans falling off, it’s clear the most recent generation of U.S. golfers has yet to fulfill its potential. Remember all the fresh young faces on the team that stunned Europe in the 2008 Ryder Cup, 20-somethings such as Anthony Kim and Hunter Mahan and J.B. Holmes? None of them has broken through in a major, and Kim might be the most mystifying of all. Tabbed to be the next great American player, Kim has yet to recapture his swing since thumb surgery and only got into the British Open as an alternate. Another batch of youngsters has shown potential, led by 27year-old Dustin Johnson. He was leading by three strokes going to the final round of last year’s U.S. Open, but an 82 opened the door for McDowell’s win. At the final major of 2010, Johnson missed out on a playoff at the PGA Championship when assessed a two-stroke penalty for not realizing he was in a bunker when he grounded his club. Kaymer went on to beat another American, Bubba Watson. “We’ve got a lot of great young players coming up,” said Ben Curtis, who won the last British Open played at Royal

St. George’s in 2003. “A few of them just need a little bit more experience.” Only one other time since the Masters began in 1934 have the Americans gone even four straight majors without a win. That was 1994, when the Americans were shut out by Zimbabwe’s Nick Price (British Open, PGA Championship), South Africa’s Ernie Els (U.S. Open) and Spain’s Jose Maria Olazabal (Spain). That year capped another glorious era for golfers beyond America’s shores. Over a fiveyear span beginning in 1990, non-U.S. golfers won 13 out of 20 majors. All over the world, there were impressionable youngsters who would mature into today’s champions. “When you grow up watching guys from your country win majors, it’s reasonable to believe that you can win majors when you grow up,” Harrington said. These days, the most hyped of the young Americans is 22-yearold Rickie Fowler, who already has played in the Ryder Cup and was the PGA Tour’s rookie of the year in 2010. But he’s yet to win on Tour and hasn’t finished higher than 14th in a major — a resume that pales alongside McIlroy, who’s about five months younger and already has been at the top of the leaderboard in all four majors. “Everybody is different. Like Rickie Fowler, for example. Is he putting too much pressure on himself? Maybe,” Curtis said.

“He’s a great young player, he’s a good kid and you hope one day he’ll get a couple of victories under his belt. Once he wins one, he could win 10.” McIlroy brushed off any talk about American golf being in decline, even as he seems poised to take over the leading role from a seemingly fading Woods, who hasn’t won a major since capturing his 14th title more than three years ago. The former No. 1 has been plagued by injuries on the course and scandal in his personal life. “American golf isn’t as bad as everyone is making it out to be,” said McIlroy, who will play with Fowler in the first two rounds of the Open. “These things go in cycles. I think there could be a stage in the next year or couple years where you’re saying, ‘Why hasn’t a European won?’ ” The American with the best hope of ending the major-less streak would appear to be 44year-old Stricker, who won the Memorial last month and is coming off another victory at the John Deere Classic last weekend. He just hasn’t broken through in a major, despite top-10 finishes in all four of the biggest events. “Steve Stricker seems to be winning every other week,” said Davis Love III, who will be captain of the U.S. team at next year’s Ryder Cup. “Americans have been winning a lot of big tournaments lately — just not the majors.” Of course, those are the wins that everyone remembers.

LAVAUR, France — Defending Tour de France champion Alberto Contador wants to show his rivals he is still the world’s best climber when the race hits the Pyrenees today. It just depends whether his troublesome right knee lets him. The three-time champion has been bugged by a swelling in his right knee since he crashed on last week’s fifth stage, and he banged the same knee again when falling off his bike on stage 9 last Sunday. With two mammoth climbs up the Col du Tourmalet and an uphill finish to Luz-Ardiden awaiting him on today’s 12th stage, the Spaniard feels quietly confident his body will not let him down. It had better not, otherwise Andy Schleck and Cadel Evans, his main Tour rivals, will not hesitate to try to knock him out of contention. Cruel, but that’s the Tour. After all, Contador did not wait around when Schleck’s chain came off last year. “My knee is responding well so I’m obviously very happy,” Contador said after Wednesday’s 11th stage. “But keep in mind that I didn’t climb the Tourmalet today. I have to see how it responds and on that basis I will make a decision how to do the race on the last climb tomorrow.” British sprinter Mark Cavendish won Wednesday’s 11th stage with a blistering late attack to clinch his third Tour stage win of the race, and Frenchman Thomas Voeckler kept the race leader’s yellow jersey for another day. Evans is the best placed of the main Tour contenders and the Australian veteran currently leads Schleck by 11 seconds overall, and Contador by 1 minute, 41 seconds. Schleck, who lost last year’s Tour to Contador by just 39 seconds, now leads him by 1:30. But after today’s stage, those times could well be very different. Contador’s priority on Wednesday was more about staying on his saddle and letting the rain massage his sore knee on a 104.1mile, flat and rainy route from Blaye-les-Mines to Lavaur.

“The knee did not bother me at any time today,” a relieved Contador said. “The rain was actually soothing my knee today as it almost felt like ice.” Contador, however, knows there is nothing soothing about the Pyrenees. Stage 12 is a 131.1-mile trek from Cugnaux to Luz-Ardiden and has three significant climbs which sprinters dread and climbers like Contador love. First up is a category 1 climb up La Hourquette d’Ancizan, followed by the biggest ascent of the day — 17.1 kilometers up Tourmalet at an average gradient of 7.3 percent. Exhausted riders then have an uphill finish to Luz-Ardiden. Both Tourmalet and Luz-Ardiden are known as Hors Categorie climbs, or HC — so tough they do not have a classification. With Evans and Contador fairly evenly matched in time trials, the onus is on Schleck to attack as he needs to gain more time on Contador and Evans to give himself a cushion when the crucial time trial comes later. “At Luz-Ardiden, I think that everyone will be waiting,” Contador said. “Someone has to open the race, especially the Schleck brothers.” Evans, the Tour runner-up in 2007 and ’08, also expects attacks, although he would not say whether they would come from him. “The first mountain stage always gives a pretty good indicator of who’s a real contender for Paris,” said Evans, who rides for the BMC team. “Someone has a bad day, someone has an extraordinarily good day. But it always gives some degree of an indicator.” Cavendish, meanwhile, nearly lost a shoe in the final stretch of Wednesday’s stage, but kept his cool to beat Andre Greipel, of Germany, at the line to take the leading sprinter’s green jersey. The prolific Cavendish claimed the 18th Tour stage win of his career, crossing the line in 3 hours, 46 minutes, 7 seconds. “It’s incredible to have the green jersey. It’s the most beautiful jersey in the world,” Cavendish said.

FOOTBALL

Star QBs like Manning, Brady say it’s time to finish NFL deal The Associated Press NEW YORK — Calling the players’ offer “fair for both sides,” star quarterbacks Tom Brady, Peyton Manning and Drew Brees — plaintiffs in an antitrust suit against the NFL — said Wednesday “it is time” to wrap up negotiations on a deal to end the league’s lockout. At the bargaining table, though, it wasn’t that easy. On the day Brady, Manning and Brees spoke as a group publicly for the first time, players and owners spent nearly 11 hours meeting at a Manhattan law office. About two hours after players association chief DeMaurice Smith left, NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell walked out with Dallas Cowboys owner Jerry Jones and the league’s lead negotiator Jeff Pash at 10 p.m. local time. Other owners including Pittsburgh’s Art Rooney and Carolina’s Jerry Richardson departed around then, too. Negotiations were scheduled to

resume this morning. With each passing day, the need to strike a bargain and end the first NFL work stoppage since 1987 becomes greater. Deadlines are coming up next week to get training camps and the preseason started on time. Although it seems the sides have agreed on the basic elements of how to split more than $9 billion in annual revenues, among the key sticking points recently have been how to structure a new rookie salary system and what free agency will look like. In a statement released to The Associated Press via the NFL Players Association, New England’s Brady, Indianapolis’ Manning and New Orleans’ Brees said: “We believe the overall proposal made by the players is fair for both sides and it is time to get this deal done.” They continued: “This is the time of year we as players turn our attention to the game on the field. We hope the owners feel the same way.”

WNBA players are crashing out as they try to cash in By Melissa Rohlin Los Angeles Times

Martin Meissner / The Associated Press

The United States’ Abby Wambach, center, scores her team’s second goal during Wednesday’s semifinal match between France and the United States at the Women’s World Cup in Moenchengladbach, Germany.

World Cup Continued from D1 So do their fans, new and old. The Americans captivated the crowd back home with their epic, come-from-behind win over Brazil on Sunday, and a little thing called a workday wasn’t going to deter them. Some fans skipped work — bars opened early for the noon EDT kickoff — while others sneaked peeks at the game in the office. At the Phoenix airport, dozens of fans crowded around TVs to watch the game. When the final whistle blew, Hollywood celebrities, pro athletes and ordinary folks who didn’t know a free kick from a corner kick just a few days ago flooded Twitter with congratulations. “My heroes. Wambach. Boxx. Rapinoe. Solo. That TEAM! Our team!” actor Tom Hanks tweeted. Super Bowl MVP Aaron Rodgers said, “Awesome job US Women, finish it off Sunday now.” Wambach and company were glad to share the moment. “These wins, we can’t do it alone. We know a whole nation is cheering us on,” Wambach said. “We believe in ourselves and we’re in the final. I couldn’t be happier.” A little relieved, too. France was the surprise of the tournament, making the semifinals with a creativity and flair that was breathtaking to behold. And for much of the game, the U.S. couldn’t contain Les Bleues.

Japan defeats Sweden in semis FRANKFURT, Germany — Homare Sawa made up for a huge error by scoring the goahead goal and Japan advanced to the World Cup final with a 3-1 victory over Sweden on Wednesday. Surprise starter Nahomi Kawasumi had two goals for Japan, which will face the United States in Sunday’s championship. It’s the first World Cup final for the rising soccer power. Josefine Oqvist scored for Sweden, which allowed three unanswered goals. Sawa’s goal also gave her four for the tournament to tie her with Brazil’s Marta. Sawa, the team captain, made an uncharacteristic error in the 10th minute and fed a defensive pass straight to Oqvist. She gladly took it, ran through the defense and got a lucky deflection to bury the ball past goalie Ayumi Kaihori.

“We didn’t play well today,” U.S. coach Pia Sundhage said. “However, we find a way to win and that’s a credit to the players’ hearts. That’s what makes it so wonderful to be coach of this team.” With the U.S. struggling to create opportunities in the middle,

Sundhage replaced Carli Lloyd with sparkplug Megan Rapinoe early in the second half, moved Lauren Cheney inside and pulled Wambach back to the midfield. The difference was noticeable immediately. The Americans were able to push forward and began threatening French goalkeeper Berangere Sapowicz. Finally, in the 79th, the Americans won a corner kick. “I told (Cheney) at halftime, ‘Put the ball to the back post, and we’re going to get a goal,’ ” Wambach said. Cheney delivered the ball perfectly to the far post and, just as Wambach had predicted, she soared over the scrum and pushed the ball past Sapowicz. “I knew Abby was going to beat her,” Cheney said, referring to the French defender who practically mugged Wambach to try and contain her. Asked how, Cheney said, “Because she’s Abby Wambach.” Wambach let out a scream and did a sliding sprint into the corner, where she was mobbed by her teammates. It was her third goal of the tournament and 12th of her career, tying fellow American Michelle Akers for third on the alltime World Cup scoring list. Morgan then put the game out of reach, outracing four defenders and then stutter-stepping in front of the goal, throwing Sapowicz off and leaving the American with a wide-open shot. “The priority is not to accept another goal,” France coach Bru-

no Bini said through a translator. “When that happens, you’ve had it. We conceded another goal and that was it for us.” The U.S. was staked to an early lead by Cheney’s goal in the ninth minute. But with the silky smooth Louisa Necib calling the shots, France dominated for most of the game, finishing with a whopping 25-11 advantage in shots. The French missed two great chances in the first half, with goalkeeper Hope Solo having to tip a Gaetane Thiney shot away in the 30th and Sonia Bompastor rattling the crossbar two minutes later. Finally, in the 55th, France got its equalizer. Bompastor floated in a cross from about 30 yards and, with the dangerous Thiney right in front of her, Solo had little opportunity to move. The ball flew right past her. But part of the blame goes to Becky Sauerbrunn, who was starting in place of the suspended Rachel Buehler and fell behind Thiney. “I think (Thiney) got a step ahead of her,” Solo said. “But I definitely expect our defenders, when the ball goes in the box, to get it out of there.” But just as they did Sunday against Brazil, the Americans got stronger and stronger as the game went on before Wambach — who scored a critical goal in the waning moments against the Brazilians — came through. “In the end, we’re in the finals,” Wambach said, “and that’s all that matters.”

With berth in final, U.S. women earn spotlight By Sally Jenkins The Washington Post

ardon any typos; they’re the result of sprains from doing an Abby Wambach slide across the living room floor after watching the U.S. women’s soccer team make the World Cup final. The American women have at last forged their own identity, those gorgeous toughies, with their bulging shoulders and their sweat-plastered hair and their habit of storming and screaming their way out of trouble. Bulletin to the spray-on tan crowd: beat it. The big girls are here. Is there any question there will be scores of Wambach imitators on the fields of America tomorrow, tall girls running like antelopes and butting soccer balls with their heads, and falling to their knees in exultation? Three days ago it was Wambach’s headed goal that saved the U.S. against Brazil in one of the great thrillers ever, regardless of gender. In Wednesday’s semifinal against France it was Wambach once again, just as the Americans seemed desperately played out, who hurled her body through space like “a beast in the air,” as teammate Megan Rapinoe describes her, to bang the decisive goal into the net with her forehead in the 79th minute. The Americans now advance to their first World Cup final since 1999, a date they are surely sick of hearing about. Among the many things the American women have been fighting against in Germany at this tournament, from awful officiating to leg-whipped fatigue, is the shadow of the greatest of all American women’s sports teams. The ’99 USA squad, led by players like Mia Hamm, Brandi Chastain and Julie Foudy, not only won the World Cup before a sold-out crowd at the Rose Bowl, and a fistful of Olympic medals from 1996-2004, they won hearts. They collected the pay of waitresses, but they made soccer the fastest-growing sport for girls, popularizing it not just in this country but on continents where the game was considered strictly for men. How do you better that? It’s a complicated debt and legacy, made more so by having so many members of that team still hanging around looking over the current team’s shoulders, sort of like the ghost of Hamlet’s father. There are no fewer

A fan holds a sign prior to the Women’s World Cup semifinal match between France and the United States Wednesday. than three of them on ESPN’s telecasts, with Foudy in the play-by-play booth and Hamm and Chastain sitting at the anchor desk doing commentary. “They have so much character and personality and the American public hadn’t wrapped their arms around them in the same way, and that’s what I love about this moment, that they finally got it, got the gutsiness of this group,” said Foudy. “We can stop that comparison to the ’99 team because that gets annoying.” These American women had frankly struggled with the inheritance, occasionally with visible irritation. At times they seemed freighted, loaded down with pressure. That was the case early in the tournament, when they lost in group play to Sweden. “We want to write our own storyline and we want to write our own destiny,” goalie Hope Solo has said. “To be honest we’re tired

of hearing about ’99. It’s time for a new team to come in here and make history.” In the past two games, the distinct outline of their character has emerged. This team is not nearly as decorated as its predecessors, or as financially deprived. Nor are they quite as fast or as technically beautiful as some other teams in the field, including France and Brazil. But they have an indefinable something, a charisma that begins with their physical largeness, personified by Wambach, who at 5-foot-11 has the ability to bully her way through defenses and find the ball. Solo, at 5-foot-9, is a formidable obstacle in the goal, with her combination of swagger and irradiated blue eyes. As a group, they are demonstrably the strongest, fittest team in the world. Above all, they have a ferocious refusal to be defeated, and that quality has made believers out of elders like Foudy. Their victory over Brazil in the quarterfinals, should they win the Cup against Japan on Sunday, will be the start of their own enduring legacy. For 59 minutes they fought absolute exhaustion and were on the brink of elimination, playing with just 10 players against 11 after a referee issued a questionable ruling and tossed Rachel Buehler for a foul. But then Wambach headed the ball in for the game-tying goal in the 122nd minute, the latest goal in Women’s World Cup history. Afterward, Wambach said to Foudy, “Can you believe it?” Foudy said, “Yeah, I can.” A few minutes later Wambach saw Hamm. “Can you believe it?” she asked again. Hamm said, “Yeah, I can.” Then Wambach ran into Chastain. “Can you believe it?” she asked for a third time. “Yeah, of course I can,” Chastain said. It was a case of three-fold validation. Ever since, the American women have exuded certainty. “Losing is unacceptable,” Wambach announced. When fatigue could have become a factor against France on Wednesday — all of sudden the Americans threw some fresh players into the game, and surged. “We lost our legs, but we found our heart,” was how Coach Pia Sundhage put it. Afterward, asked where their confidence comes from, Solo replied, “From our preparation — and because we know we’re damn good.” The rest of us know it now, too.

LOS ANGELES — The WNBA season was barely three weeks old, and already two of the league’s biggest stars were out because of injuries. Los Angeles Sparks forward Candace Parker, the 2008 league most valuable player, had torn the meniscus in her right knee. Seattle Storm center Lauren Jackson, the reigning MVP, required surgery on her left hip. Parker won’t be back for another month or so, and Jackson will be out even longer. Tough luck? No, more like the continuation of a trend. Players, coaches and trainers say injuries consistently plague the league, and they believe they know why: an offseason that really isn’t one. Nearly three-quarters of the league’s players also compete abroad, supplementing their relatively modest WNBA incomes with what typically are much larger payments from foreign teams that also might pick up their living expenses and shower them with gifts. The WNBA season this year began June 3 and could run until the middle of October. Top European leagues pick up at about that time and can run till early May, leaving players scant time to rest. “If there was a little more resting time in between, we wouldn’t see half as many of the injuries we see now,” Sparks trainer Courtney Watson said. Some trainers say female athletes are especially susceptible to certain injuries because of their hormones and larger “Q-angle” — the angle at which the femur meets the tibia — which can lead to knee and foot injuries. “From my experience working with both men and women, women’s bodies take longer to heal,” Watson said. Yet, the year-round cycle is likely to continue because playing overseas can be lucrative. Whereas WNBA salaries range from $36,570 to $103,500, Parker said the league’s stars can make more than six times the maximum playing abroad. Parker reportedly makes about $1.2 million per year with the Russian team UMMC Ekaterinburg. Although she declined to discuss the details of her contract, Parker said, “It’s too great of an opportunity financially to pass up.” There are other perks as well. Although WNBA teams use commercial airlines, top European teams fly on private charters. In Russia, Parker had use of a four-bedroom apartment, a driver and a translator. She also received what she described as “extravagant” gifts, including jewelry and watches. For example, about four months ago

on Women’s Day, a holiday celebrating female achievements, Parker and her daughter Lailaa, then about 22 months old, were each given a pair of black diamond earrings. Playing year-round does exact a toll, however. “Physically, mentally, it’s a lot of sacrifices to make,” Sparks guard Ticha Penicheiro said. “I’ve been doing it 13 years. Sometimes you play with injuries, but you never have time to recover. It’s like you’re always playing hurt.” Jackson, for example, barely was over one significant injury before she sustained another. She underwent surgery in February for an Achilles tendon injury suffered while playing in Russia. Then, about four months later, she sustained the hip injury while playing for the Storm. And at least two players, Washington’s Monique Currie and Tulsa’s Shanna Crossley, are sitting out the entire WNBA season after each sustained a torn knee ligament while playing in Turkey. Occasionally, a player who can afford to says enough is enough. Diana Taurasi, a fivetime WNBA All-Star, created a stir a year ago when she said she was contemplating sitting out the 2011 WNBA season — but still playing in Europe, where she makes much more money. Corey Gaines, who coaches Taurasi with the Phoenix Mercury, didn’t criticize his star player. “When the (NBA players) go to the Olympics, they always complain,” he said. “Imagine doing that six years in a row.” Taurasi did not skip a WNBA season, but she is hardly the only woman to have weighed that option, as opposed to skipping a season abroad. But the consensus among players seems to be that there is a direct connection between how well they play in the WNBA and how much foreign teams are willing to pay. “First and foremost, the reason why we make a lot of money (overseas) is because of the accomplishments and the stature we’ve branded in the WNBA,” Indiana Fever guard Katie Douglas said. “We play to continue that brand.” Most players said they wished the WNBA seasons were longer, and their paychecks fatter, so they didn’t need to look elsewhere. The earn what you can while you can approach — even at the risk of injury — is especially prevalent because the WNBA doesn’t offer a pension. “When we finish playing, the WNBA will never write us a check again,” Penicheiro said. “That’s not true with the NBA; they have pensions. . . . It’s women’s reality, and I’m OK with it. At least we have a league.”

Union gives NBA players OK to go abroad during lockout By Howard Beck New York Times News Service

If the locked-out NBA players choose to take their talents overseas, they will do so with the spirited support of their union’s leadership. In a letter sent to 450 players this week, Billy Hunter, executive director of the National Basketball Players Association, said that playing abroad would keep the pressure on owners while allowing union members to continue making a living. “This lockout is intended to economically pressure our players to agree to an unfavorable collective bargaining agreement,” Hunter said in the letter, a copy of which was obtained by The New York Times. “It is important for owners to understand that there may be significant consequences to their decision to put their own players in these difficult economic circumstances.” Hunter said, “If the owners will not give our players a forum in which to play basketball here in the United States, they risk losing the greatest players in the world to the international basketball federations that are more than willing to employ them.” Most players received Hunter’s letter Tuesday, five days after reports surfaced that Deron Williams, the New Jersey Nets’

star point guard, had committed to play for a Turkish club, Besiktas. Under the terms of his contract, Williams is free to return to the NBA when the lockout ends. A handful of other players — mostly reserves and fringe rotation players — have signed deals to play abroad. Others are entertaining the possibility, although so far it has not become a trend. There are some concerns for players like Williams who have lucrative contracts with NBA teams. In theory, their deals could be voided if they are injured while playing abroad. Salaries are much lower in Europe and Asia, and teams sometimes fail to pay their players. Commissioner David Stern has indicated that the league would not stand in the way of players who want to work overseas. However, the sport’s international federation, FIBA, has yet to say whether it will clear players who are under contract to NBA teams. A statement is expected soon. In his letter, Hunter said he believed there was no impediment to NBA players working abroad during the lockout, while contracts are suspended. He said he also believed that neither the NBA nor FIBA would block such a move.

CAST Continued from D1 CAST for Kids events take place at Bureau of Reclamation waters around the United States. Here in Central Oregon, they team with the local BASS club, the Crook County Search and Rescue Team, Oregon State Parks, Kiwanis and the Crook County Sheriff’s Office to host the annual fishing day. It’s for children ages 7 to 18 with physical or developmental disabilities. The plan is to get the kids out for a ride in a boat, put a fishing rod in their hands and put them over fish. The outcome is left up to the bass. Shari Kohlbecker and crew flew in from Boise, Idaho, to orchestrate the launching of boats, angler registration and other important things. Chuck Lang, Dan Skillings, Scott DeGree, Steve Oakley, Jeff Jasikiewicz and others helped their anglers aboard. My ride was the designated camera boat, a Glastron with Amber Barrett at the helm and Walter Justus and his camera. Krysten Griffith, 10, Josie Herberger, 9, and my daughter Mikayla would fish if we found willing bass. Most of the BASS club guys had their spots picked out. They headed away from the launch toward the narrows upstream. We followed 20 minutes behind and checked in with the kids where they drowned wacky-rigged plastics or nightcrawlers on snelled hooks. When we caught up to Jasikiewicz’s craft, 14-year-old Danielle Murasko had already bested three smallmouth and a catfish. We pulled alongside Steve Oakley’s River Hawk near a rocky point, where Paige Ollendorf and Heather Lusk were tempting smallies with Senkos. Interviewed later, Paige let out her secret for catching one of the

Murasko landed three bass and a catfish. biggest fish of the day, a 15-inch largemouth. She sang a song she had made up at last year’s event. It worked last year with two fish and this year, her tuneage produced four. Every child bagged a rod and

reel and a Plano box full of tackle donated by Wholesale Sports, a T-shirt and a plaque with their picture. Prineville Reservoir is not a little intimidating to the first-timer. The youngsters had a few tips

they were willing to share with adults who might like to bring their own kids out to the lake. Eight-year-old Mitchell Parel, of Bend, recommended that you bring someone to put the worms on the hook. Heather Lusk says it

helps to have patience when you are fishing. Lucky Ortiz, 9, couldn’t speak, but he could sign. With a little help from Laurie Christopherson, he let us know he wanted to fish again. He partic-

ularly liked the ride in the power boat and watching the fish in the livewell. Shy, 5-year-old Sam Stiles didn’t keep any fish, but he wanted to. With a little help from his mom, he practiced that most fundamental of fishing techniques whereby you hold your hands apart to tell how big the catch was. He stopped his mom when her hands were 7 inches apart. “You need to practice up on your fish stories,” she told him. More than two dozen kids participated in this year’s event, but there were some empty seats.

Mouserat, courtesy The Patient Angler.

By Gary Lewis For The Bulletin

When a big bass, a brown or a pike goes for a mouserat, they don’t just sip it off the surface — they smash it. A mouse is a big meal and a fish big enough to eat it is not going to let the rodent get away. Bring your big net. From a boat or from the opposite bank, cast back to the water’s edge. This isn’t the time for finesse. If it splashes down, so much the better. Make it swim. The tail is wiggling, the legs are kicking. Pause a moment while the critter gets its breath then start it up again. Tie the Mouserat with strong tying thread

on a No. 2-6 English bait hook or similar hook. The weed guard (optional) can be created with a length of 20-lb monofilament. Secure it over the eye to complete later. Tie in a thin strip of leather for the tail. Use deer hair for the body, spinning it and packing it tightly. Four-fifths of the way toward the nose, tie in a pair of leather ears and big mono eyes. When you reach the nose, tie in dyedblack deer hair for whiskers. Trim the body hair as shown, tapering the body toward the nose. Complete the fly by attaching the weed guard to the base of the tail with tying thread and glue.

ANTELOPE FLAT RESERVOIR: Anglers are still reporting good fishing for very healthy trout. Boat anglers are having more success than bank anglers because the trout are seeking deeper, cooler water as the water temperature increases.

are still plenty of trout to be caught, with fish up to 20 inches long being reported. CULTUS LAKE: Anglers have reported improved fishing. DESCHUTES RIVER (Mouth to the Pelton Regulating Dam): Trout fishing should be good with improving weather and dropping flows. Lots of caddis and golden stoneflies are being reported. A few reports of early summer steelhead have been received from Sherars Falls to the Columbia. The number of summer steelhead entering the lower Deschutes should increase as July progresses.

CRANE PRAIRIE RESERVOIR: Fishing is good, with reports of large rainbows and brook trout.

DESCHUTES RIVER (Lake Billy Chinook to Bend): Fish will concentrate in areas with cold-water input, such as springs, as summer temperatures increase. Most cold-water inputs are located below the Lower Bridge. Anglers will find better access downstream of Lower Bridge. Rainbow trout average 10 to 16 inches, while brown trout up to 26 inches in length are available.

CRESCENT LAKE: Anglers have reported excellent kokanee fishing.

EAST LAKE: Kokanee anglers have reported average catches.

CROOKED RIVER BELOW BOWMAN DAM: Flows have stabilized around 300 cfs, resulting in better wading conditions (river flows near Prineville). The number of trout is down compared to the past couple of years, but there

OCHOCO RESERVOIR: Anglers have reported good fishing for rainbow trout with some “football-size” fish 12 to 16 inches long. Trolling has been working well for trout. ODELL LAKE: Fishing for lake trout is good, and kokanee fishing is improving with warming weather; the evening bite is typically better than the early morning bite. PAULINA LAKE: Anglers are reporting good fishing. PRINEVILLE YOUTH FISHING POND: The pond was stocked with more bass last week. The pond is open to children 17 years old and younger, with a bag limit of two fish per day and an 8-inch minimum length for trout.

Whatever it was, it was big. There were three or four more prints in the patch of snow covering the Abbott Butte Trail in front of me. With five rounded toes and a long, Africa-shaped foot, I guessed bear. It probably didn’t help that my mother had called me not two days earlier to tell me about the hiker mauled by a grizzly in Yellowstone, or that two backpackers I had met the day before told me of spotting a bear cub. I took a minute for an internal debate. The tracks were sharp and welldefined. They must have been recent or they would have melted out more, given the warm temperatures. But I had no

idea whether the bear had passed in the middle of the night or five minutes ago. I did a quick mental inventory of the contents of my daypack. Honey? No. Salmon? Uh-uh. Big bucket of wild huckleberries? Negative. I figured with a few simple precautions I’d be safe. I continued down the trail making as much noise as I could, stepping on pine cones and twigs I’d normally avoid. Before every blind corner, I’d yell out in as fearsome a voice as I could muster, “Yo, bear!” See Abbott Butte / E6

It’s the time of year when folks start planning hikes on South Sister and the Pacific Crest Trail. But “planning” is the key word this season, with midsummer snow causing hazardous conditions for trail users. Trails above the 6,000-foot snow line are still blocked by snow, said Chris Sabo, U.S. Forest Service trails specialist. If you are heading into the wilderness, he said, check on the conditions and go prepared. “It’s not just a hike in the woods, it’s a little more challenging than that,” said Sabo. Hikers need to know that hazards, including losing the trail and getting injured, increase substantially with the snow. People are getting into predicaments because of being poorly prepared, said Sabo, and relying on calling for help with a cellphone should not be the first line of defense. Sabo urged hikers to consider the essentials: take a map, know the conditions and know your limitations. He said it’s important to choose trails at the right experience level and be aware of the environment. If the trail turns out to be too challenging or dangerous, he said, turn around before it’s too late. If hikers go prepared for the possibilities, an emergency rescue shouldn’t be necessary.

Widow’s ugly ‘Rescue Me’ final season a 9/11 tribute behavior is sign she needs help By Alessandra Stanley

New York Times News Service

Dear Abby: I agree with your advice to “Driven Away in Georgia” (May 26), whose widowed mother has become so bitter, all eight of her children avoid her. As a clinical neuropsychologist who works with people with dementia and other aging-related problems, I’d like to share my thoughts. When a spouse dies, previously undetected early-stage dementia can become apparent to others. If the surviving spouse had pre-existing cognitive deficits, they may have been concealed by the competency of the other spouse. After the spouse dies, the structure and functional support once provided is suddenly removed. Symptoms then become apparent to family members. Another diagnostic option might be depression, which can often resemble dementia in elderly people. There are medications that can help manage and even slow down the progression of dementia, and early intervention may partially stabilize her at a higher level of functioning. You were right to recommend that family members become more involved rather than back away since this woman clearly needs either psychiatric or neurological intervention, or both. Thank you for shedding light on a very common problem that can touch any family. — Richard Fulbright, Ph.D., Dallas Dear Dr. Fulbright: Thank you for sharing your expertise and raising awareness for those with family members who are also struggling with similar issues. Read on: Dear Abby: In addition to concerns about dementia, the mother may be overwhelmed with living

DEAR ABBY life as a widow. The eight surviving children should try to arrange for part-time hired help for her household chores that build up. If Mom is living on limited income, she may be crushed with financial stress. Perhaps it’s time for her to downsize to a more manageable home. Instead of avoiding her, these “kids” need to find out exactly what problems are overwhelming their mother and get her help. — Concerned Son in Laurel, Md. Dear Abby: “Driven” and her siblings could offer more by getting together, taking potluck dishes and meeting at Mom’s house over a weekend to split up her chore list. My own mom would say, “Many hands make labor light” — and laughter makes the time pass quickly. If they can do this two or three times a year, Mom might feel more secure and relaxed. Her children also should take turns taking Mom out to dinner and a movie once a month. It will give her something to look forward to. When you lose someone who was involved in your daily life, it gets lonely. A tip to the kids: Imagine yourselves in your mom’s shoes instead of thinking about how much you have to do. Even a person with dementia, if this is the case, can be happy with the right help. — Nancy In Payson, Ariz.

The 10th anniversary of 9/11 is near, summoning not only horrible memories of that cataclysm but also the anxiety of measuring up. Ten years on, there still aren’t enough words, gestures, ceremonies or moments of silence to match the wound. Not paying attention is unthinkable, but it’s even harder to think of an adequate tribute. “Rescue Me,” the FX show about firefighters who survived the attack on the World Trade Center, isn’t a bad place to start. On Monday the drama began its seventh and final season; it had its premiere in 2004, just as many Americans were moving on and getting over 9/11. And the series has stayed focused — saltily, irreverently, but always passionately — on a band of firehouse brothers and their loved ones. A lot has happened in that small world, though time hasn’t healed much of anything. “We’re way beyond (expletive) normal at this point,” Tommy Gavin (Denis Leary) tells his wife, Janet (Andrea Roth), after she asks that he be a more normal father to their as-yet-unborn new baby. “OK, I got news for you. There’s no getting over it. Normal is dead and buried underneath ground zero. I’m just trying to make sense of what’s left above ground.” To her credit, Janet orders him out of the car. “Rescue Me” is a labor of love that isn’t blind to the romance of suffering, and Tommy is as traumatized by his ordeal and addicted to his

righteousness as any combat veteran returning from overseas. Leary created the show with the executive producer Peter Tolan, and it was personal. Leary has a particular stake in the subject, having lost a childhood friend and a cousin who were fighting a fire in Worcester, Mass., in 1999. That tragedy drove him to set up the Leary Firefighters Foundation, which was one of the first private charities to come to the aid of Sept. 11 victims. The series, accordingly, has a proprietary tone, an insider’s perspective that doesn’t merely portray firefighters, warts and all, but revels, often comically, in their weaknesses: the alcoholism, the brawling, the womanizing, the profanity, the sexism and the homophobia. Humor, throughout, has been the show’s saving grace: “Rescue Me” is a homage to men in uniform that is not nearly as sanctimonious as “Blue Bloods,” a CBS drama about a family of Irish-American cops in New York City. The FX show is a well-made, enjoyable series that was created with the best of intentions but somehow never quite rose to greatness. That could be because, for all the show’s earthy candor and scathing wit, it’s a soap opera at heart. And not just because of all the melodrama — and there has been a staggering piling on of violent deaths and torrid affairs. Every bit of dialogue, even a light one, has a heavy linear purpose, whether

it’s an eloquent, uninterrupted soliloquy from a reproachful wife (or mistress) or a one-liner tossed around the firehouse. Tommy, who begins the season back on the wagon, has endured more than even his unfair share of losses, including a son killed by a drunken driver. But he is still nursing his grief over losing his cousin and best friend, Jimmy, on Sept. 11, so much so that he turns enraged and violent when others decide to cooperate with a local news documentary about Jimmy. Tommy is still visited by Jimmy’s ghost, though other phantoms now crowd his unconscious — in a daydream he fantasizes that Jimmy’s son, Damien (Michael Zegen), who is Tommy’s godson and was left brain-damaged and paralyzed in a firefighting accident, rises from his wheelchair to kill him. Tommy blames himself for not dissuading the boy from firefighting. And he should. Sheila (Callie Thorne), Jimmy’s widow and Damien’s mother, is consumed with grief and guilt about her son. Her affair with Tommy is over, so over, in fact, that this season she and Janet have bonded and made common cause, making Tommy feel like a polygamist appeasing multiple nagging wives. The women collude with Tommy’s daughters to bring him to heel and cooperate with the 9/11 documentary, which they know will be respectful, even if he doesn’t. They even force him to go to the pharmacy to pick up a long list of feminine hygiene products, which he does, with the kind of embarrassment that is played for broad laughs but also seems a bit atavistic — not that many men his age these days are

still mortified to be seen in what he calls the “vagina aisle.” It is there that he runs into an old flame, Kelly (Maura Tierney), who has a scarf over her head and informs him, quite casually, that she has cancer. “Is it serious?” Tommy says, flummoxed. She gives him a long look. “It’s cancer.” Women, like drink, are a constant temptation, but Tommy’s ruling passion is fighting fires, and his biggest demon is the fire that changed his life forever. In one scene Tommy is walking through a hip neighborhood and passes a gallery where a sign dedicated to “The Fallen” asks passers-by, “Where were you that day?” A sexy young woman is stacking coffee-table books about 9/11. Tommy falls into a reverie. Naive viewers might think he is fantasizing about the woman. Instead, he imagines himself smashing his car full speed through the store window, then lighting a match and setting the place on fire. As the country struggles for a way to commemorate the 10th anniversary, “Rescue Me” is delivering its message one last time, for one final season: “There is no getting over it.”

Judge dismisses mooning charges against Foxy Brown By Colleen Long The Associated Press

NEW YORK — A judge on Tuesday dropped charges that rapper Foxy Brown violated a court order by mooning her neighbor after the woman told prosecutors she would not testify at the trial. Assistant District Attorney Robert Isdith said he had tried to meet with the neighbor, Irene Raymond, in the weeks before the trial and didn’t get anywhere. When he finally got in touch with her, she said she didn’t want to pursue the case, he said. “While the district attorney’s office has no doubt the defendant committed this crime, we have no other choice but to dismiss this case,” Isdith said. Brown, whose real name is Inga Marchand, pleaded not guilty to criminal contempt and her trial was slated to begin Tuesday, following a dressing-down at her last court hearing by State Supreme Court Justice John Walsh when she appeared hours late. The 31-year-old hip hop star was punctual this time, wearing a short silver silk dress and towering spike heels, and smiled and hugged her attorneys as the courtroom erupted when Walsh dismissed the case. “I was falsely arrested twice, slandered and defamed,” she said outside court, as she gave a thumbs-up and smiled for cameras. She described Raymond as jealous, and someone with a “borderline obsession,” “someone who wants to be you or have your life ... that I worked really hard for,” she said. The Brooklyn-based rapper was a teenager when she broke onto the rap scene as a protege of Jay-Z, but her career has foundered in recent years. Prosecutors said Brown vio-

Charges that Marchand violated a court order by mooning her neighbor have been dropped. lated the order in July 2010 by screaming at Raymond before bending over, baring her buttocks and showing her underwear while shouting an obscenity. Had the case gone to trial, her attorney Salvatore Strazzullo said her defense would have been not only did she not moon Raymond, but she wasn’t even wearing underwear at the time, so the neighbor was not telling the truth. Brown was issued the order of protection after pleading guilty in 2008 to menacing Raymond with her cellphone. The two had been in a fight over Brown blasting her car stereo outside their Brooklyn building in the leafy Prospect Heights neighborhood. The restraining order is in effect until 2013, her attorney said.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY for Thursday, July 14, 2011: This year, you juggle your emotions and your thoughts, often wondering which voice to listen to. You will discover which way to go and how to simplify your life. Relationships have a volatile but exciting tone, whether single or attached. You might not want to make a major commitment this year. If you are attached, you will learn to juggle your and your sweetie’s different concerns and needs. CAPRICORN can be challenging and sometimes withdrawn. He or she cares and is more emotional than you are aware. The Stars Show the Kind of Day You’ll Have: 5-Dynamic; 4-Positive; 3-Average; 2-So-so; 1-Difficult ARIES (March 21-April 19) HHH You could be pushed to the max by an associate or partner. You do have your hands full, but so does everyone else. A tendency to overindulge a roommate or family member emerges. Extremes force you to not make a decision just yet. Tonight: Burning the candle at both ends. TAURUS (April 20-May 20) HHHHH Keep reaching out for more information, especially if you don’t like what you are hearing. Know that there is another solution, even if you aren’t sure what it is. Try to break through restrictive thinking. Remain responsive to the many calls and inquiries. Tonight: Take in new vistas. GEMINI (May 21-June 20) HHHH Deal with a partner directly, knowing full well what you want and expect from a situation.

There could be a lot of wavering, making solidifying a situation close to impossible. Accept what is happening. Tonight: Dinner for two. CANCER (June 21-July 22) HHHH Realize what is stopping you from relating to a key person. You could be overwhelmed and questioning what you are doing. Rome wasn’t built in a day, and it might take you a while to get past a restriction. Tonight: Go with another person’s suggestion. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) HHH You could be overwhelmed by everything that needs to be done, and you only have so much energy. Establish boundaries. A conversation with a sibling could be difficult. The same thing could happen with a neighbor. Tonight: Easy works. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) HHHHH Your creativity surges, allowing more flex than you have had in a long time. You want to deal with a situation differently. Your finances continuously seem to be an obstacle, but you can work it out, if you want to. Tonight: Juggling favorite friends and loved ones. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) HHHHH Your current fatigue could be getting the best of you, causing a situation to be distorted. Take your time understanding why you are doing this. Take a deep breath, and decide to head in a new direction. Your caring comes through to a family member. Tonight: Consider heading home and screening your calls. SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) HHHH How you deal with someone you care about in the present confusion could define your

relationship in the near future. It might be better to indulge this person than to be too stern. Discussions go back and forth without resolution. Tonight: Make important calls. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) HHHH Be aware of the financial implications of what is happening. Then you will make a good decision, no matter what goes down. You will want to overindulge a friend or associate. At the same time, you will do for yourself. Tonight: Help a dear friend loosen up. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) HHHHH The Full Moon today puts the spotlight on you. You could have your hands full juggling different concerns — essentially, relationships. You might want to do something else, but you might not be able to fit it in. Tonight: Finally, it is your decision. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) HH Retreating and not getting involved in a situation — which, at best, is difficult — is smart. Listen to what is being shared by a co-worker or someone in your daily life. You could have difficulty seeing the big picture. Tonight: Not available. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) HHHHH You could be surprised by how a long-term goal or desire heads in from out of left field. A partner might not be as accepting or as excited as you are. A child or loved one keeps expressing his or her caring in a meaningful way. Tonight: Where your friends are. Celebrate.

Abbott Butte Continued from E1 The last thing I wanted to do was surprise a mama and her cubs. Spotting the tracks added a bit of adrenaline to what normally would have been a fairly mellow hike. Abbott Butte is a broad, rounded mountain in the RogueUmpqua Divide Wilderness to the west of Crater National Park. Not surprisingly, it doesn’t get much attention. But there’s a nice 3.2-mile trail that climbs about 1,000 feet to an old lookout tower. The route starts on an old Civilian Conservation Corps road off Forest Road 68 in an area known as Huckleberry Gap. From the trailhead, the trail drops moderately to Windy Gap in about a mile and a half, passing under the basalt cliffs of Quartz Mountain along the way. Shortly after passing the Cougar Butte Trail, the route splits into an easier, wider trail for equestrians and a rougher, steeper trail for hikers. Near the top of the butte, the woods give way to broad alpine meadows dominated by low willowy brush. Mount McLoughlin looms on the horizon. The route rejoins the now overgrown road that traverses back and forth below the lookout tower. Last weekend, the last part of the road was blocked by snow on the northern side of butte. It was close enough to the tower that I could scramble up the rocky hillside and avoid the steep snowbank. According to the website Firelookout.com, the Abbott Butte tower was built in 1939. It shows its age, listing slightly to one side. The bottom steps have been removed, as climbing the decrepit tower isn’t safe. There’s a small wooden shed beneath the tower that looks just as suspect. A smaller tower with a cupolatopped cabin was constructed in 1928, and for a while at least, the two stood side by side. The views from the lookout site are probably better suited to fire spotting than scenic vistas. But you can get a good view of the surrounding area. You can also continue to the northeast to the top of a rock formation known

Trails Continued from E1 Sabo reported that South Sister, Moraine and Green lakes trails are still 90 percent blocked by snow. The Three Sisters loop trail is 60-70 percent blocked by snow. At this point, it would be wiser to wait for better conditions, he said. McKenzie Pass, scheduled to open Friday, will provide access to many more backcountry trails, but the majority are under snow, anywhere from patchy to 95 percent covered. The Pacific Crest Trail heading south from the pass is blocked by snow. The PCT from Mount Jefferson to Mount Thielsen is 70-80 percent snow covered. Black Crater Trail has not been maintained and will likely have some sections blocked by snow. Pole Creek Trail to the northern Green Lakes section has had some maintenance. Three Creek Lake is melting out, but access to the lake is still blocked by snowdrifts. Tam MacArthur

A river runs beneath it By Becky Krystal The Washington Post

Markian Hawryluk / The Bulletin

There are heights. And then there are heights. In the former category: escalators, ski lifts, my attic. West Virginia’s New River Gorge Bridge, on the other hand, is decidedly in the latter. The engineering marvel in southern West Virginia, completed in 1977, checks in at 876 feet high, and I was going to walk across it. Or, I should say, beneath it. A catwalk running below the roadway recently opened for guided one-way tours, an activity conceived by self-proclaimed “bridge troll” Benjy Simpson and his team at Bridge Walk. The prospect of a two-footwide strip of metal separating me from a fatal plunge into the river terrified me only slightly. But for someone who can suffer a bout of vertigo just looking through city sidewalk grates, it was a bit of a risk. I decided to prepare by driving over the New River Gorge Bridge on my way to my digs in

Fayetteville. Crossing the bridge, though, takes less than a minute and doesn’t offer much opportunity for gawking at the gorge, which has an average depth of 1,000 feet as the New River flows north from its North Carolina origins. In the morning, I visited the Canyon Rim Visitor Center, one of two centers at the New River Gorge National River, a 70,000acre park run by the National Park Service. A scenic overlook provided a panoramic view of the river and the bridge. Finally, I could appreciate the scale of the structure and why it took three years and $37 million to complete the 3,030-foot span. Later, I joined seven other daredevils at the Bridge Walk office, where we signed liability-release forms and put on our harnesses, complete with a separate strap for our cameras. A bus took us to the tour’s starting point. Our guide, Sidney Crist, gave us some history and statistics before we started. I tried to take it in, but I was find-

ing it hard to do anything other than stare at the bridge. Walking on the span as a tourist works like this: A carabiner connects the harness around your waist to a lanyard. At the end of the lanyard is another carabiner attached to a transfastener, a gadget that rolls along one of two parallel steel wires above the catwalk. And, of course, there are railings on either side of you. I shuffled along the first part of the walk with my hands on both rails, giddily laughing a kind of oxygen-deprived nervous giggle that reminded me to breathe regularly. The real payoff came once we found ourselves standing over the river, which snaked below us between the steep green banks of the gorge. After a little more than an hour, we reached the end. Crist clambered up a rock to snap individual photos of us with the bridge in the background. That look on my face? Pure relief.

The Abbott Butte Trail crosses below basalt cliffs on the north side of Quartz Mountain. as Elephant’s Head. With lingering snow, however, I was unsure of the route, so I decide to head back. Apparently my audible warnings were effective, as I never did see a bear. (By that logic, they were also equally effective at warding off sharks, giraffes and unicorns.) My heart rate did spike when I frightened some sort of wood fowl from its nest, and again when I passed too close to a spotted fawn that had bedded down below a fallen tree. It’s at least an hour each way to the lookout and back, and while the route isn’t easy, it never really gets difficult. But just to be on the safe side, leave the tuna sandwiches at home.

Rim Trail is still blocked by snow, and probably will be for weeks. Broken Top Trail still has 5-6 feet of snow. Forest Road 370 is blocked from Todd Lake to the north gate and is not expected to open until early to mid-August. Most trailheads along Cascade Lakes Highway have good access, except the Todd Lake parking lot, which is still blocked by snow. The perimeter of Todd Lake is still 70 percent covered by snow, and there is even some ice on the lake. Cultus Lake is clear of blowdown. Canyon Creek Trail is still at least 50 percent blocked by snow, probably for another one to two weeks. The snow in wilderness areas may be too deteriorated for winter recreation. Around Newberry Crater, Peter Skene Ogden Trail and Paulina Lakeshore Loop are free of blowdown. Crews are working on other trails. Crater Rim Trail is reported to have sections of snow. Paulina Peak Road is still blocked by snow and closed at

If you go Getting there: Drive south on U.S. Highway 97, past Chemult, and turn right on state Highway 138. At Diamond Lake, turn onto state Highway 230 South to Union Creek.

the snow gate. In the Crescent Ranger District, the loop that connects Pretty and Fawn lakes is cleared. With many favorite high elevation trails still blocked, expect heavier use on the lower elevation trails. Phil’s Trail, Deschutes River Trail and Black Butte Trail are all in good condition. Mosquito populations are varied, from very high in Crescent to low in other areas. Crews are clearing fallen trees from trails, but there is still a mixed situation across the forest, from light to heavy numbers of fallen trees. If you come upon work crews on the trails, Sabo said, let them know you’re there and make sure it is safe to pass, especially if they are working with chain saws or crosscut saws. Equestrian users should be aware that there will be a volunteer work party clearing trails out of Quinn Meadow Horse Camp this weekend.

LIVING LONG Healthy, active lifestyle credited for Deschutes County’s good ranking

By Markian Hawryluk The Bulletin

t’s no secret that Bend with its myriad outdoor recreation opportunities attracts people seeking a healthy, active lifestyle. But a new county-by-county analysis of life expectancy rates suggests that draw might be paying a longevity dividend. According to research from the Institute for Health Metrics and Evaluation, life expectancy rates in Deschutes County exceed the national average for the United States for both men and women. Crook County had rates very close to the national average, while Jefferson County lagged behind. Deschutes ranked among the top counties in Or-

egon in longevity for both men and women, and had the highest gains in life expectancy in the state over the past 20 years. And researchers believe those gains can be traced to its changing demographics. “This is where we are seeing the effect of these super health-conscious people moving to places like Bend and improving the health of the broader population as well,” said Dr. Christopher Murray, director of the institute and co-author of the study. “You see it in Teton County, Wyoming, and in Summit County, Colorado. These are places that are attracting people who are interested in a healthy lifestyle, and they are having this positive effect on life expectancy.” See Life / F5

Smoothies are generally accepted as a healthy food, but there are some nutritional questions to consider before indulging. “There’s a wide range in what’s available in ingredients, nutritional value. They’re convenient, and hyped as N U T R I T I O N health food. But they might not necessarily be healthy,” said Vandana Sheth, a registered dietitian and spokesperson for the American Dietetic Association. Generally speaking, the fewer ingredients in a smoothie the better, she said. When ordering, ask the server what’s in the smoothie. What’s truly healthy is fruit, milk, yogurt, maybe a little bit of juice, she said. “And that’s it.” All ingredients should be easy to pronounce, Sheth said. See Smoothie / F6

Next week Study finds poorer quality of care at some hospitals.

Staying safe during a hospital stay By Judith Graham

Research online

Chicago Tribune

CHICAGO — Hospitals may be even more dangerous than previously suspected. One out of every three people admitted suffers a medication mix-up, a fall, a bed sore, or another problem related to the way care is delivered, according to research published in April in the health policy journal Health Affairs. That’s the highest estimate to date, and it’s not universally accepted. Still, a large body of evidence suggests that safety issues are widespread and of special relevance to seniors, who tend to be sicker and more vulnerable than other patients. Notably, in November, the Department of Health and Human Services reported that every year 134,000 older hospital patients (about 1 in 7) experience problems such as excessive bleeding, drug-related delirium, infections. As many experience temporary harm in the hospital.

Safety checklist Fortunately, there are many things people can do to help ensure their safety while in the hospital. The key is to be an active participant in your care. Here’s a basic checklist compiled from Consumer Reports, the National Institute on Aging, the Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality, Emory University Center on Health Outcomes and Quality and consumer advocates. • Research the hospital your doctor recommends and the procedure you’re set to have. Check Medicare’s Hospital Compare website (hospitalcompare.hhs. gov) for information about medical centers’ performance. Some states publish hospital report cards, another source worth checking. • Ask your doctor how many procedures of this kind she’s done, what results she usually achieves and how often potential complications occur (for instance, how often do people having hip replacements get infections?). • Arrange for a family member, friend or private nurse to serve as your eyes and ears in the hos-

This can be the physician who admitted you, a medical specialist, or a “hospitalist” (a doctor whose expertise is caring for people in the hospital). • Keep a notebook and have your advocate record the names of all the doctors involved in your care and what they said. Make sure you understand your diagnosis and treatment plan. Write down questions you want to ask a doctor in between visits. • Have on hand a concise sum-

mary of your medical history: all medical conditions, any surgeries or other medical procedures you’ve had, and all your medications. • Bring contact information for your primary care doctor and a list of people you want contacted in an emergency. Make sure you have eyeglasses, your dentures and your hearing aid with you. • Bring a list of all the medications you’re currently taking, including over-the-counter drugs and supplements. Make sure that you note any allergies, previous

adverse drug reactions, or bad experiences with anesthesia. • If you’re prescribed new medications while in the hospital, ask doctors to explain what they’re for and potential side effects. Write down the names and doses in a notebook. Speak up if you don’t get medication when you should. • Be sure you understand which drugs you’re supposed to take when you’re discharged. Have a friend or family member fill those prescriptions immediately. Ask about drugs you have

Sit for a minute and make sure you’re steady before you get up. Make sure that things you need — the phone, the nurse call button — are in reach when you get back into bed. If you’re feeling dizzy or if your room is dark and you can’t see, ask for help before getting up. • Bring disinfecting wipes and have someone use them to wipe down surfaces that other people touch: your phone, your bed rails, the grab bars in the bathroom, the toilet seat. Do this several times a day. • Watch nurses, doctors and aides who come into your room to see whether they washed their hands with soap or used a hand sanitizer before touching you. If not, say politely that you need them to do so to ensure your safety. • Make sure providers check your identification bracelet each time before you get a medical treatment, test or medication. • If you have a urinary catheter in place, a common source of infections, ask every day whether it can be removed. If you’re at a teaching hospital and a young doctor in training is providing care, make sure you know whom to talk to if you have concerns. Insist that a more senior doctor come to examine you if you’re worried about how you’re being treated.

F Ayurveda Continued from F1 Ayurveda intends to keep a person healthy through diet, lifestyle and herbs that are best suited to each dosha. It is not a workout regimen, but modern practitioners say certain doshas excel with certain kinds of exercise. “We know what movement does for us physically, but we don’t think about what it does for us mentally or spiritually, too. It flows into all areas of your life when you have a really good match to your exercise routine,” said Florida-based Tara Patricia, a therapist who has a master’s degree in psychology with post graduate studies in neuropsychology. She wrote a book called “The Road You Were Meant to Travel” which, based on some ayurvedic concepts, says a customized workout plan must match one’s mind state, body form and spiritual self in order for a person to improve. “We focus so strongly in exercise on our goals, to trim or sculpt, or doing ‘this’ because it’s efficient in time. We’re not matching who we are inside to our exercise programs,” Patricia said. While Patricia suggested that certain types of exercise and sports might better suit specific doshas, Cundey, an ayurvedic health educator from Sunriver who studied in India, said that a person can do whatever activity he or she loves but perhaps with some adjustments to best suit his or her dosha. Ayurvedic philosophy, according to the National Institute of Ayurvedic Medicine (www.niam. com), says that everything in the universe, including humans, is made up of combinations of five elements: space, air, fire, water and earth. Space represents the concept of connectedness or consciousness. Air represents the concept of motion. Fire represents light and heat. Water represents flow and liquidity. Earth represents solidity and stability. These five elements, according to the institute, are both material and subliminal. People are governed by a combination of these elements, says Cundey, and when a person has an excess or deficiency of certain elements in his or her life, symptoms of disease can begin. They say everybody has a bit of each dosha, but most people are dominated by one or two. Cundey, a yoga teacher and a massage therapist, said she is primarily a vata. When she felt “out of balance” she had dizzy spells, heart palpitations and intestinal gas. An ayurvedic consultant in California suggested some herbs, dietary changes and a calming in her yoga practice. Her symptoms went away. People get out of balance when their senses carry them away, Cundey said, when they live an unhealthy lifestyle, eat too much of an inappropriate food or exercise in the wrong temperature for their constitution. Knowledge of ayurveda, said Cundey, can help a person understand where they deviated from balance and counteract imbalances, that, if unattended, manifest into health problems ranging from digestion issues to arthritis. “Ayurveda empowers you to understand yourself better so you can make more appropriate choices about what’s right for you, food wise, exercise wise and job wise,” Cundey said. Ayurveda is a mindset that helps you understand your natural tendencies and better accept yourself, she said.

The doshas Ayurvedic practice describes the doshas this way: • Vatas have the qualities of space and air. They’re physically thinner, with smaller frames and narrower faces. It’s tough for the vata to gain weight. Vatas are, by nature, quicker to worry and feel anxiety, Cundey said. Vatas, when out of balance, are predisposed to nervous disorders of the mind and body. The vata is quick in thought, speech and action, Patricia said. They can be restless and get bored easily, so they need to keep their exercise new and interesting. They shouldn’t overextend themselves. Patricia recommends walking, hiking, dancing, biking, pilates, restorative yoga and tai chi. Cundey said an out-of-balance vata — one who is not feeling well but is not diagnosed with any medical condition — should look for activities that are slow mov-

PITTAS

KAPHAS

Vatas should keep fitness programs new and exciting but shouldn’t overextend themselves. Try walking, hiking, dancing, biking, Pilates, racquetball, tai chi. Vatas can sprint but might not enjoy a six-mile run.

Pittas’ competitive souls thrive on team play and should seek challenges. Try tennis, basketball, hockey, lacrosse, perhaps mountain biking or rock climbing. Sports that involved water, such as water polo or swimming, can also be soothing.

Kaphas have stores of energy, stamina and physical strength, and do well as weight lifters and body builders. They can benefit from endurance activities such as running, aerobics and swimming.

ing, methodical and strengthening. Even just within yoga, a vata might need to choose a calmer and more restorative practice than a fast-paced and challenging class. And, Cundey suggested, because vatas can have scattered minds, they should remove potential distractions, such as the phone or the kids, or they will never finish a workout. • Pittas have the qualities of fire and water. That translates into people with more moderately sized body types, who are able to gain and lose weight. They are focused, organized, creative and make good leaders, Cundey said. They are driven and competitive people, Patricia said. They thrive on team play such as basketball or hockey, or even tennis. They need challenges, such as rock climbing. But the calming effects of water, such as in water polo or swimming, can sooth a firey pitta, Patricia said. If too much fire throws pittas out of balance, they get demanding and pushy, she said. They can be easily frustrated and angered, said Cundey, and they’re more prone to inflammation problems of the skin, bowels, mind, anything. “When trying to balance pitta, we want to take that striving and the intensity out of it,” Cundey said. “For example, a runner who is way out of balance in pitta would do better to run in nature without a goal of making a certain time rather than running in a race where they are challenging themselves. The key is to be gentle and push themselves less.” • Kaphas have the qualities of earth and water. That means they are steady, strong and thick, with great physical strength and stored-up energy. They tend to have bigger bodies and are slower and more methodical, mentally and physically. They are the people that get the job done; they have good follow through. They tend to be more compassionate and can get

depressed. They resist change, Cundey said. When they’re out of balance they get overweight. And they’re prone to congestion, heart diseases and a number of weight-related problems, Cundey said. They can get lazy and stubborn, too, Patricia added. They need strenuous workouts and more activity. Patricia recommends endurance sports such as running and swimming, or weight lifting. Kaphas might benefit from moving more quickly, such as a faster-paced, hot yoga class, Cundey said, or they might set goals for running a certain distance within a certain time.

Where ayurveda is used Yoga teachers and therapists such as acupuncturists or massage therapists often study and incorporate principles of ayurveda into their work. Locally, it’s not common. Cundey, who studied it the Sivananda Ashram in Canada and the Ayurvedic Natural Health Centre in Goa, India, has been certified as an ayurvedic health educator through the California College of Ayurveda. She emphasized that she’s not a medical practitioner nor does she prescribe herbs. Cundey leads workshops periodically in Bend to introduce people to ayurveda. See: www.dharmatola. com/workshops for more information. She describes ayurveda as a sister to yoga. However, in India, ayurvedic medicine includes

ening activity per week. Of high school students in the United States, according to the CDC’s recent report, 15.3 percent met the aerobic activity objective, 51 percent met the muscle-strengthening activity objective, and 12.2 percent met the objective for both aerobic and strengthening activities. The report also said the numbers were generally worse for obese students, female students and students in upper grades. — Anne Aurand, The Bulletin

medical fields such as surgery, internal medicine and pediatrics, according to the National Institutes of Health’s Center for Complementary and Alternative Medicine. The center has a section about ayurveda on its website, describing it as a holistic system meant to prevent, manage and treat illness. It reported that a 2007 National Health Interview Survey showed that more than 200,000 adults in America had used ayurvedic medicine the previous year. In India, there are more than 150 undergraduate and 30 postgraduate colleges where one can get bachelor’s or doctoral degrees in ayurvedic medicine and surgery, but in the U.S. just a few states have approved ayurvedic schools, and ayurveda is considered alternative health care, according to the center. Most ayurvedic practices involve medications that typically contain herbs or minerals, and some concerns have surfaced about the toxicity of some over-the-counter ayurvedic remedies, according to the center. Existing research in the field of ayurvedic medicine centers on herbs and supplements, not exercise choices. However, what reports there are about ayurvedic medicine say there’s too few randomized controlled trials about the effectiveness of ayurvedic medicine in treating ailments.

Work out while the kids play By Julie Deardorff Chicago Tribune

When my kids are at the playground, I’m usually the only parent making a spectacle of herself. I do push-ups and lunges. I hang from the monkey bars and try to pull myself up. Or I repeatedly squat down, lower my butt until it hits the bench and then stand up. Yes, playground workouts can be embarrassing, especially when other moms and dads are relaxing or chatting on cellphones. But if you’re strapped for time, playgrounds are ideal workout spots, and not just because they’re free. You’re stuck there anyway, they’ve got all the equipment you need, and research shows even tiny bouts of exercise are associated with increased fitness. And while a public workout takes some courage, “your actions might inspire a lifetime of health and fitness in your children or others,” said celebrity fitness trainer Marco Borges. Though your own body weight is really all you need for a good workout, almost all playgrounds offer at least three key pieces of equipment that can enhance the experience: monkey bars, benches or steps and swings. Here’s how to make use of each one:

Monkey bars Try chin-ups: Hang with your hands slightly wider than shoulder width apart with your palms facing toward your body. Pull your body up until your head is above the bar, then slowly lower to the starting position, said exercise physiologist Tom Holland, author of “Beat the Gym.” What it works: An upperbody resistance workout, chinups target several major muscle groups in the back, shoulders and arms. They also work core

muscles. Kick it up a notch: Try a pullup by changing your hand position and grabbing the bar with your palms facing away from you. Add a weighted backpack or attach a small child to your back. Make it easier: Rest your feet on the ground if the bar is low enough. Or simply hold your chin over the bar as long as you can, a strength test called the “flexed arm hang.”

Bench, steps or low platform Try the bench step-up: Place your right foot on a bench about knee height. Step up and tap your left foot on the bench while fully extending your right leg. Slowly step back down with the left leg, then immediately repeat, said Holland. What it works: The legs — hamstrings and glutes — and core muscles. Kick it up a notch: Find a higher step. Or, place your hands behind your head and jump with both feet on to the bench or platform. Hop back off the step, landing on both feet. Make it easier: Find a lower step.

Swing set Try the ab walkout: Hold the swing with your hands and keep your feet on one spot, said Borges. Using your abs, stretch your body into an elongated position. Return to the start position. What it works: Abdominal muscles Kick it up a notch: Balance on one leg. Make it easier: Work this move on your knees. Or, if you fit, swing yourself. Swinging works the legs, quads, core and improves balance, range of motion and coordination.

Change in life expectancy for women In years by county, from 1987 to 2007.

Continued from F1 The report, which looked at county mortality data from 2000 to 2007, found that men in Deschutes County had a life expectancy of 78.4 years, nearly three years longer than the national average, while women had a life expectancy of 81.7 years, living nearly a year longer than the U.S. average. Murray said the impact on life expectancy of those health-conscious individuals goes beyond simply adding people likely to live longer to the mix. They have an impact on the community that benefits the health and longevity of others living there. “We are seeing some parts of the country become lifestyle destinations, and Deschutes (County) would be in that camp,” he said. “People moving there have created a demand for better lifestyle options, such as biking trails and parks and healthier menu options at restaurants. This has had a broader benefit to the entire population that goes beyond just the new people moving in.”

would be reduced by 20 percent. “The areas that are doing poorly or going backward are areas where we tend to see a lot of smoking, obesity and high blood pressure, although this last one is harder to quantify because we don’t have good county-level data,” Murray said. According to data from the Oregon’s Healthy Aging program, adults over the age of 45 in Deschutes County have lower smoking, diabetes and obesity rates than those in Jefferson County, but a higher rate of hypertension. Longevity has also been linked to an individual’s income and race. Those factors also favor Deschutes County over Jefferson. “We’re considered the most di-

If you’re female, don’t schedule this just before or during your period, when you tend to be more bloated. Measure at the right place. For your chest, measure around the largest spot, generally at the nipple line. Waist: just above your hipbones, roughly at your belly button. Hips: the widest part of your buttocks. Arms: about three inches above your elbow, at the largest point. Thighs: the biggest part of your upper legs.

Regional differences

Losing inches from your chest, thighs, arms, hips, waist and buttocks is a clear sign of fat loss and fitness progress. Here’s how to use a tape measure correctly: Use a plastic tape measure. Cloth varieties can stretch out over time and give you distorted measurements. Position the tape correctly. Don’t pull the tape in tightly to get a smaller measurement. “Make sure the tape is snug, does not compress your skin and is parallel to the floor,” said Maria Kinirons, director of food and nutrition for Weight Watchers North America. Wear thin fabrics — or better yet, nothing at all. Breathe normally. Don’t suck your breath in or exhale forcefully when measuring your waist or chest. Look straight ahead. Stand tall with your feet together — or slightly apart if you’re measuring your thighs — preferably in front of a full-length mirror so you can see the tape’s position. Don’t slouch down to look at your reading. For the most accurate results, ask a family member or friend to help. Take monthly measurements. Don’t measure too often: readings can change from day to day — and even at different points in a single day — based on what you eat and drink. Pick one day a

Neighboring counties have not fared as well. Crook County had life expectancies of 75.9 for men and 80.1 for women, while Jefferson County ranked lower at 74.6 for men and 79.2 for women. And certainly those counties have not seen nearly the influx of residents that Deschutes has. But Murray said it is hard to parse out why some counties did better than other. There were few common threads among counties with the highest life expectancies or those that posted the highest gains. “This tells us that it’s not about rural versus urban or high income versus low income,” he said. “It’s about what is happening at the community level, and some communities clearly have done a better job of creating a healthier culture that has driven down the key risk factors for an early death.” In research published last year, the same institute found that four factors — smoking, blood pressure, blood glucose and weight — have the greatest impact on life expectancy. If those four health concerns were addressed, the researchers said, it would boost average life expectancy in the U.S. by four years for women and nearly five years for men, and disparities in life expectancy

verse county in the state because of the percentage of Hispanics and American Indians. That in itself has an effect on it,” said Dr. Thomas Machala, health administrator for Jefferson County. “Some of it is difficulty getting to health care, some of it is cultural, what people are eating and lifestyle. And then poverty is a big indicator, too. We have all of those in a perfect storm over here.” Machala said smoking rates have dropped in Jefferson County recently, but chewing tobacco use is rising. And the county has some of the highest obesity rates in the state. Nearly half the children in the county and 70 percent of adults are overweight or obese. “It’s tough with the sedentary

lifestyle and we’re kind of spread out here, so there’s a lot of driving time,” he said. “It’s not like you can walk there and do this or that.” The life expectancy rates in Oregon mirror county health rankings released by the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation last year. That analysis ranked Deschutes first in the state in terms of avoiding unhealthy behaviors, including smoking, obesity, drinking, automobile fatalities, risky sexual behaviors and teen birth rate. “It seems like we’re doing really well in those areas and to me, that really translates to less morbidity and (later) mortality,” said Tom Kuhn, community health program manager for the Deschutes County Health Department. Deschutes also scored high in the county health rankings on its physical environment: air quality, access to healthy foods and recreational facilities. “The one thing about the Bend area is the access to the different physical environments, parks, recreation,” Kuhn said. “It’s just so much easier to get to things than in a more metropolitan area. Only having to walk to something or having to drive a short distance, that’s going to really motivate someone to engage in physical activities much quicker than someone who has to go through a lot of trouble to get to those resources.” Deschutes was ranked fourth in the state overall in the county health rankings while Jefferson came in last.

That level in 2007 was 78.8 years for men and 84 years for women. “Despite the fact that the U.S. spends more per capita than any other nation on health, eight out of every 10 counties are not keeping pace in terms of health outcomes,” Murray said. “That is a staggering statistic.” In Deschutes County, men were largely keeping pace with the international frontier. Only seven nations had higher life expectancies for men. That’s not the case for women in Deschutes County, who are living the same lifespans that people in countries such as Japan, Canada and Sweden had in the late 1990s. In fact, Deschutes County had one of the smaller differences in life expectancy between men and women. Nationally, women live an average of 5.2 years longer than men, while in Deschutes County the spread is only 3.3 years. The researchers are now trying to dig deeper into the factors that impact life expectancy in hopes of uncovering approaches that can boost life expectancy further. In a project with the Seattle and King County Health Departments, they will track 9,000 people, taking blood samples to analyze their risk for a range of diseases and other factors that may affect longevity, and integrate that with data from emergency medical services, hospital discharges and pharmacy records. “We need rich, clinically specific information so we can understand exactly why it is that certain areas are doing so much more poorly than others,” Murray said. “This is the only way we can really get past generalities and find the best strategies to improve health.” Markian Hawryluk can be reached at 541-617-7814 or mhawryluk@bendbulletin .com.

Falling behind While all U.S. counties have increased their life expectancies over the past decades, the researchers found that the gains are not as large as they could be. Comparing the county rates to worldwide gains in life expectancy, they found that most U.S counties were falling behind the average life expectancy for the top 10 countries worldwide, a level they called the international frontier.

Smoothie

Whole grains, proteins are friends

Continued from F1 Like this: apple juice, nonfat frozen yogurt, strawberries, bananas. That’s what’s in the popular-selling “strawberry burst,” at Blenderz, a locally-owned, drive-thru smoothie shop on the corner of Greenwood and 8th in Bend, according to owner Erik Hammer. But McDonald’s has a longer list of more complicated ingredients in its strawberry banana smoothie: Strawberry puree, banana puree, water, sugar, concentrated apple juice, cellulose powder, natural and artificial flavors, xanthan gum, citric acid, colored with fruit and vegetable juice, pectin, ascorbic acid (a preservative), and low-fat yogurt made with cultured reducedfat milk, sugar, whey protein concentrate, fructose, corn starch and gelatin, according to www.mcdonalds.com. The purest ingredients don’t necessarily equate to lower calories, though. Blenderz’s 16-ounce strawberry burst has about 350 calories, Hammer estimated. McDonald’s same size strawberry-banana smoothie has 260, according to the company’s website. A single store can offer different smoothies with huge variations in sugar, calories or fat. Calorie conscious beware: A “peanut passion” or “coconut passion” smoothie at Emerald City Smoothie in Bend can have more than 20 grams of fat (compared with its many no-fat smoothies) and hundreds of additional calories, according to www.emeraldsmoothie.com. If the store doesn’t have nutritional values listed, just ask (See “Comparing smoothies”). Sheth said the surest way to consume a healthy smoothie is to make it yourself. No matter who is making the smoothie, a crucial thing to consider is serving size, she said. “Serving size will determine the caloric value,” Sheth said. “Most are huge.” Is the smoothie an entire meal? Then the ubiquitous 16and 22-ounce smoothies, which can contain 400 calories, might be fine, so long as it has 7 grams of protein and 3 grams of fiber, Sheth said. If it’s a snack or in addition to other food, 6 to 8 ounces is ideal — about one cup — with about 150 calories, she advised. Rarely can one that small be found on a retail establishment’s menu. When made with whole foods, smoothies can be a great way to add fruits and vegetables to one’s diet, Sheth said. Berries, bananas, melons and mangoes are just a sampling of fruits that are rich in antioxidants, vitamins and fiber. Lowfat milk can add a healthy dose of calcium. Yogurt is a great dairy addition because it offers probiotics, she said. For one’s health, it’s impor-

tant to avoid the unnecessary calories from added sugar and sweetened fruit syrups, she said. A little fruit can sweeten a drink. Artificial ingredients, such as artificial sweeteners, should be avoided. Some have a laxative affect for some people, Sheth said. As a spokesperson for the American Dietetic Association, she was not able to endorse or disparage any specific brands or manufacturers, she added. Mother’s Juice Cafe in west Bend sells a lot of smoothies made with basic ingredients. Cody Periman, a store supervisor, said the 24-ounce “Sambazon” is a big seller. It’s made with organic acai berries, peaches, bananas, vanilla nonfat frozen yogurt and apple cider. But Periman doesn’t know the nutritional facts for the blended drink because the mea-

surements are imprecise — big scoop of this, small scoop of that. The store, like many smoothie specialty shops, offers add-ins such as wheat grass or protein powders. Many add vitamin C or echinacea herb boosts. Sheth said the boosts tend to be overhyped products that most people don’t need. For someone making a smoothie at home, a natural boost could come from a couple of tablespoons of flax seeds or wheat germ or nuts. Some people prefer non-dairy, so alternatives such as soy or rice milk are available at Blenderz and Mother’s. Blenderz, Mother’s and Jamba Juice representatives all said they used no sugary fruit syrup or artificial coloring or chemicals in their drinks. Emerald City Smoothie owner John Frazier said the store uses

fresh fruit and fruit juices whenever possible in its 50 different variations of smoothies, but with some more obscure flavors, such as kiwi, it will sometimes add a flavor blend of syrup. Jamba Juice offers a low calorie drink that’s sweetened with Splenda, said Mackenzie Lind, store supervisor at the Forum Shopping Center location in east Bend. Jamba Juice has a booklet on the counter for those who want to study ingredients and nutritional information before they order. Store-bought, packaged premade smoothies, such as Naked, Stoneyfield or Odwalla brands, have to list ingredients and nutritional information on their labels.
