What: Oregon High Desert Classic horse show Where: J Bar J Boys Ranch, 62895 Hamby Road, Bend

With more than 600 exhibitors and 700 horses, this year’s Oregon High Desert Classic will be the largest in the equestrian competition’s 22-year history.

“We are sold out and have a wait list,” said show manager Dianne Johnson, who has organized the Classic since its inception. “I basically work on it all year, the organization part of it: hiring everybody, getting certified by the national organizations.”

The two-week event serves as a fundraiser for J Bar J Youth Services, a nonprofit organization for at-risk youth that includes Big Brothers Big Sisters of Central Oregon, Cascade Youth & Family Center, The Academy at Sisters, and the J Bar J Boys Ranch.

This year, the classic is at capacity with more than 780 horses stalled at the J Bar J Youth Ranch in Bend. “The most we’ve had before is 740 horses,” said Johnson.

On Monday, horses and competitors from throughout the West and Canada moved onto the grounds, which will serve as home for the next two weeks. Each barn erected a display featuring logo-bedecked awnings and cus-

tom landscaping. As the show grounds were transformed, contestants headed to the show office to register for the week.

Today, riders will have the opportunity to “school” their horses informally in various rings. “Schooling day,” as it’s known, allows horses to settle into their now surroundings and gives riders a chance to train and determine which competitions — or “classes” — to enter based upon their horses’ performance.

The first week of the show begins Wednesday and runs through Sunday. The second week runs from July 27-31. Six rings will host competitors throughout each day.

Competitors will show in a variety of classes, ranging from show jumping to hunters and equitation. Competitors jump different heights and are judged on specific criteria based on their divisions. Divisions are determined by age and experience of both the horse and the rider.

What the new consumer bureau thinks of your ideas

By Ron Lieber

Obama’s pick to head agency has a record of fighting banks

New York Times News Service

If you want to try your hand at playing regulator, now’s your chance.

The new Consumer Financial Protection Bureau officially opens for business on Thursday, but for several months it has been soliciting ideas from the public.

In response, there was the predictable sniping, with some people taking to Twitter to ask if the bureau can protect people from the increasing federal debt caused by the creation of new agencies.

And there were the plaintive requests from people looking for help far beyond the bureau’s turf in financial services. Someone wondered about gym memberships, while somebody else asked the bureau to give pornography sites their own domain name suffixes.

But in the earliest Twitter posts, which I read end to end in a 140-character binge this week, there were also some thoughtprovoking ideas with real potential. They may never come to fruition, if the Republicans succeed in stripping power from the bureau and running Elizabeth Warren — who has been overseeing the bureau but is not its official director — out of town.

For now, however, the bureau is for real, and in an avalanche of Twitter messages, emails and blog comments on its website, consumers have shown a hunger for a financial cop on the beat.

Meanwhile, its openness thus far suggests the tantalizing possibility that it could be the nation’s first open-source regulator.

So I picked the four most interesting ideas that people on Twitter suggested and took them to the bureau this week to see just how open it was to provocative suggestions.

Simplicity Perhaps the most reasoned call to action came from Bill Mitchell an investment newsletter publisher and soon-to-be hedge fund manager in Irvine, Calif.

“My politics don’t really align with Elizabeth Warren’s,” he said.

“But I sensed that she had a legitimate interest in trying to, at a minimum, improve efficiencies.”

So he took his best shot at helping her do that in a couple of Twitter messages. “Create standardized contract for credit cards for issuers to incorporate by reference, merely adjusting specific rates and fees.”

And then: “Limit the total number of words in consumer financial contracts. Disclosures are not transparent if their length is unlimited.”

Mitchell said he worried that credit card agreements had become like the software and Web agreements that so many people mindlessly speed through.

“We are actively working toward simplifying credit card contracts,” said Gail Hillebrand, associate director of consumer education and engagement for the bureau.

Humor Matt Stoller, a former Democratic congressional staff member, just wants a good laugh.

“Hold a weekly public complaint essay contest called ‘Why You Should Fine My Bank,’” he said in a Twitter post.

In all seriousness, this would have its advantages once the bureau’s novelty wears out, since it would keep consumers coming

Peter Yates / New York Times News Service

Jillayne Schlicke, who started the National Association of Mortgage Fiduciaries, suggested the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau “Make all loan originators owe fiduciary duties to their clients.”

J. Emilio Flores / New York Times News Service

Bill Mitchell, an investment newsletter publisher, said he worries that credit card agreements have become like software and Web agreements that many mindlessly speed through; he suggested the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau simplify the agreements. back looking for the most outrageous sins. Stoller, in an interview this week, added that the bureau should have a bank-ashero letter of the week, too, as an incentive for good behavior.

“I think humor and interestingness are not used by government nearly enough,” he said. “To the extent that you do that, you create a situation where if you get a malevolent politician in there trying to kill these programs, then they have to kill something that the public likes.”

The bureau’s Hillebrand wouldn’t go near the self-preservation angle but got a good chuckle out of Stoller’s contest notion. “We have to learn from the most effective techniques that people inside and outside of government are using to reach the public,” she said. “If it’s funny, it gets forwarded.”

Then again, she added, financial troubles are no laughing matter. “It’s painful,” she said.

“We need to be respectful of that while still communicating our message.”

Bankruptcy Right around the time the bureau started soliciting ideas earlier this year, Bryan Lucas was clearing away his debts in bankruptcy court. Almost immediately, the loan solicitations came pouring into his Littleton, Colo., mailbox. So he was moved to reach out to the bureau. “Stop predatory lawyers and car dealers from sending letters offering car loans to people waiting for their bankruptcy to discharge,” he said via Twitter.

To people who experience this, it’s almost as if they’ve checked out of rehab only to find drug dealers lined up on the nearest corner. “Give me a cooling-off period to not have that temptation,” he said in an interview.

“Because not everyone can say ‘I don’t need that.’”

This sort of request puts the bureau in a tough spot. On one hand, pushing sky-high interest loans on the bankrupt would meet plenty of people’s definition of predatory. But politically, the bureau can’t support anything that reduces access to credit, given that many Republicans insist that the bureau’s very existence is already slowing economic activity.

The bureau declined the opportunity to endorse Lucas’ proposal.

Fiduciary As Lucas’ situation suggests, it isn’t always easy for every lender to know what’s best for any given customer. But Jillayne Schlickeargues that it is within the realm of the possible for mortgage lenders, so much so that they ought to figure it out and act on it.

“Make all loan originators owe fiduciary duties to their clients,” she wrote on Twitter, using the financial industry’s term for acting solely in a customer’s best interest.

This isn’t the first time Schlicke has made this suggestion. She makes a living doing continuing education for real estate salespeople and lenders in the Seattle area and started the National Association of Mortgage Fiduciaries to push for this view.

“It was horrifying to learn that people were using government forms designed to teach borrowers about loans to trick people and deceive them,” Schlicke said in an interview this week. So she

sent off another Twitter message, addressing how loan officers see the Truth in Lending Act-mandated form: “Replace the TILA disclosure form. Most LOs can’t explain it and consumers can’t figure it out by themselves.”

The bureau posted a supportive video response from its policy adviser, Pam Blumenthal, to the second message right away, something Schlicke had not seen until I pointed it out to her. “Ha!” she said, as she watched it play.

“Hey, she agrees with me. That’s cool.”

As for the fiduciary issue, however, the bureau did not want to comment. To Schlicke, the connection between her two suggestions is obvious. “Put the duty of care on the person sitting across the table. Make them take care of the client,” she said. “Instead of the opposite, which is to give them a two-inch stack of paper and say, ‘You take care of everything in it.’ ”

T S Violence in Pakistani city exposes deep divides

By Karin Brulliard The Washington Post

KARACHI, Pakistan — A trash-strewn dusty street here became a front line in recent ethnic battles that killed 100 people in four days.

Now, in the aftermath, residents speak of the street as though it is a chasm, dividing the population of this oceanside city of 18 million and even Pakistan itself.

On one side, people known as Mohajirs, long the dominant group in this economic hub, seethingly point to bullet-scarred and burnt houses and demand a new province that would be theirs

alone. On the other side, Pashtuns who migrated here in recent years after fleeing an Islamist insurgency in their native northwest also point to bullet holes, and some express worry that a sort of ethnic cleansing is to come.

“Now they are asking for their own province,” Adnan Khan, a Pashtun whose brother was shot dead by unknown assailants this month, said of the Mohajirs.

“Next maybe they will ask for their own country.”

Karachi, Pakistan’s most diverse city, is once more spewing violence that goes unchecked by police and is stoked by thug-

gish politicians. While the fierce Taliban insurgency seeks to overthrow the government from mountain hideouts hundreds of miles away, the city’s battles are laying bare the deep ethnic, political and sectarian cleavages that pose an additional threat to this fragile federation — as well as an impediment to its unity against Islamist militancy.

When Pakistan parted from India in 1947, it fused vast spans of ethnically and linguistically distinct populations under the common cause of Islam. But the state has struggled to define Islam’s role as a social adhesive. The pow-

erful, Punjabi-dominated military, meanwhile, has aimed to suppress various nationalist movements, even while sometimes backing ethnic and sectarian groups as tools for influence. Politics remain cutthroat and largely localized.

The result, some say, is a nation hobbled — and increasingly bloodied — by factionalism.

“Why are they fighting in Karachi? Because they have not become Pakistani yet. People have not become a nation,” said Sayed Jalal Mehmood, the Karachibased leader of a small nationalist party that represents people native to Sindh province.

BENGHAZI, Libya — As the Libyan war grinds on across three fronts and rebel forces find themselves pinned down on their own territory outside two strategic eastern oil cities, the rebels’ most resolute European ally, France, is insisting that they negotiate with Moammar Gadhafi to peacefully end their 5-month-old uprising.

Yet the rebels are sticking to their guns — literally.

They’re convinced that victory is inevitable and adamantly refuse to negotiate directly with Gadhafi even as the French government contends that the Libyan leader is seeking ways to relinquish power.

After the United States formally recognized the rebel Transitional National Council on Friday as the country’s legitimate government body, the rebels again insisted that Gadhafi must go before negotiations begin.

“Our position remains: no negotiations until Gadhafi, his sons and his inner circle are gone,” said Habib Ben Ali, media liaison for the council.

In the rebels’ de facto capital, Benghazi, commanders lay out a battlefield strategy that seeks to allay concerns in Western capitals over the failure of the four-month NATO air campaign to topple the Gadhafi regime. But the unorthodox approach relies more on faith and bluster than proven military tactics, and raises the prospect of a prolonged conflict.

In Connecticut, unions amend voting rules to revive deal

By Peter Applebome New York Times News Service

Facing 6,500 layoffs and punishing program cuts, the leadership of the state employees’ unions in Connecticut voted Monday to change their bylaws to make it easier for union workers to approve a concession agreement whose rejection last month scrapped a budget-cutting deal with the state.

A new vote, which would require a simple majority rather than the 80 percent threshold that previously was in place, could set in motion what has seemed for weeks to be a possible endgame after 57 percent of union members and 11 of the 15 unions voted in favor of the deal. That plan was meant to produce $1.6 billion in labor savings over two years, but it failed to gain approval because of the high bar to passage. Under the new guidelines, approval is needed from eight of 15 unions and a majority of the union members voting.

But a second vote under new rules is certain to anger many opponents and be seen as a blunt power play by union leadership to gain approval.

HORIZON CITY, Texas — The cinderblocks that make up Maria Teresa Escamilla’s new home will do little to shield her from the triple-digit heat that has been scorching West Texas. She has no electricity yet, and the roof is not properly attached, leaving the interior exposed to the elements.

Escamilla has been living in an air-conditioned apartment that she can no longer afford.

But when the lease ends in two weeks, she has to move — a day she dreads because it means she’ll have no escape from the searing temperatures.

“This is what I have to look forward to,” she said. There will be no air conditioning and an unbearable number of mosquitoes at night.

With much of the nation in the grip of a broiling heat wave, few people are hit as hard as the poor, and few places are poorer than the ramshackle communities along the Texas-Mexico border known as “colonias.”

The misery was widespread Monday, with the worst conditions blanketing a broad band from Texas to Minnesota and Dakotas. Seventeen states issued heat watches, warnings or advisories. And the heat index easily surpassed 100 degrees in many places: 126 in Newton, Iowa; 120 in Mitchell, S.D.; and 119 in Madison, Minn.

The high temperatures were nearly certain to persist for the entire week. Forecasters expected the extreme discomfort to spread soon to the East Coast.

In towns large and small, the withering heat was cruelest to those who could not afford air conditioning.

Jazia Pratt, 8, fills a bucket with water from a fire hydrant in the afternoon summer heat on Monday in Philadelphia.

Built at the edge of the desert, the colonias often lack electricity and running water. People bought the land before zoning regulations were adopted, hoping that utility services would follow.

To finance her house, Escamilla, who is 62, had to take out a loan against her funeral services and buy building materials recycled from demolition sites in Ciudad Juarez, across the border from El Paso.

Norma Salazar, who shares a tiny trailer home with her husband and six children in Horizon City, on the outskirts of El Paso, has to rely on an evaporative cooler, a cheap alternative to air conditioning that sucks the hot, dry desert air through a mesh of water-soaked fibers.

Going to a library or a mall to keep cool is not an option because the car doesn’t have air conditioning. “So getting there is even worse than just staying inside, not moving,” she added.

In downtown Minneapolis,

where the heat index reached 106 degrees, the Salvation Army’s Harbor Light Center threw open its doors for anyone who needed to cool off and drink a glass of ice water.

Executive Director Bill Miller said he allowed about 200 people who slept at the shelter Sunday night to stay instead being asked to leave in the morning.

“We don’t have them leave when it’s this hot,” he said. “It’s hot enough to get dehydrated, especially if you’re drinking. In this heat, it could kill you.”

Back in El Paso, Grace Ortiz heads a task force that tries to prevent heat-related deaths.

She says the group has given out more than 400 fans this year and expects to distribute twice that number before the summer is over, mainly to the elderly and needy families with children.

“They are the most at risk,” Ortiz said. “Sometimes a fan can be the difference between life and death.”

Amid scandal, cardinal said to be retiring

By Erik Eckholm and Katharine Q. Seelye New York Times News Service

Cardinal Justin Rigali, the Roman Catholic leader of Philadelphia, is expected to announce his retirement today, five months after the 1.5 million-member archdiocese was convulsed by evidence that officials had ignored sexual-abuse charges against dozens of currently active priests.

Rigali, 75, who is planning to step down later this year, will be replaced by Archbishop Charles Chaput of Denver, 66, a Native American who is known for his aggressive public opposition to abortion and same-sex marriage, according to people familiar with the plans.

The changes are to be announced by the Vatican today.

The Archdiocese of Philadelphia has scheduled a news conference this morning at which Rigali is expected to appear with his successor.

In April, Rigali turned 75, which is the customary retirement age for bishops, although some have continued to serve for years beyond.

“Because he’s over 75, you can’t make the case that he resigning because of the scandals,” said the Rev. Thomas Reese, a senior fellow of the Woodstock Theological Center at Georgetown University and a Jesuit

priest. “Certainly, the Vatican never wants to give the appearance of having someone resign under pressure.”

But Rigali’s tenure in Philadelphia will inevitably be linked to the mishandling of sexual-abuse cases, which had gone on for decades but erupted this year into what Reese called “a disaster for the church.”

A grand jury report in February accused the archdiocese of failing to report or remove predatory priests over the decades and said that as many as 37 priests remained active in the ministry despite credible accusations against them of sexual abuse or other inappropriate behavior with minors. The report was particularly shocking because an earlier grand jury, in 2005, reported credible accusations of abuse by 63 priests. In 2002, the National Conference of Catholic Bishops adopted a zero-tolerance policy and promised to purge the priesthood of sexual predators.

Rigali initially responded to the February grand jury report with what critics called evasive language, saying there were no priests in active ministry “who have an admitted or established allegation of sexual abuse of a minor against them.” But then in March, in a reversal, the archdiocese suspended 21 priests in what experts said was the most sweeping action of its kind for

the Roman Catholic Church in the United States.

The grand jury report prompted the indictment of four priests and a parochial school teacher, and included the first criminal charges in the United States against a senior church official for covering up abusive behavior by priests. The total number of priests suspended is now 29.

CONGRESSIONAL BUDGET TALKS

Sleight of hand may be fallback for lawmakers

By Carl Hulse New York Times News Service

WASHINGTON — With Republicans and Democrats still deeply divided over how to shrink the budget deficit and the national debt, the only way for them to avoid a financial crisis at this late date may be to perform a legislative magic trick.

The idea, conjured by Sen. Mitch McConnell of Kentucky, the Republican leader, would allow Republicans to accede to an increase in the government’s debt limit without actually voting for it or giving in to President Barack Obama’s demand for tax increases as part of any deal.

It would give the White House a way out of the box that it is in and avert a potential deeper blow to the economy. And it would allow Democrats to head into an election year having backed substantial spending cuts without having, so far, buckled to pressure to bite into the entitlement programs that represent core values to many liberal voters.

That, at least, is the goal of the approach offered by McConnell, who continued to work with Sen. Harry Reid, the Democratic majority leader, on Monday to refine their fallback proposal even as the

parties exchanged fire leading up to coming floor fights in the House and Senate over a Republican deficit-reduction plan. The Senate leaders are developing cuts and other deficit-reduction provisions to provide some lubricant to pass the measure, which has been ridiculed by many Republicans as a slick effort to dodge accountability.

While negotiations continued, House and Senate Republicans plan to focus their energy this week on the so-called cut, cap and balance proposal embraced by conservatives. It would reduce spending next year by more than $100 billion, cap future spending based as a percentage of the economy and require a balanced budget amendment to be approved by Congress and sent to the states for ratification before the debt limit could be increased.

Before the House debate scheduled for Tuesday even began, the administration issued a veto threat on behalf of Obama, although the measure has little chance of approval in the Senate.

Still, Republicans hope that enabling the rank and file to vent their frustration and vote for the deficit-cutting plan could clear the air and also clear the way for moving forward with the McConnell plan should no suitable alternative proposal surface.

Cameron cuts Africa trip short for special session Hungarian LONDON — Prime Minister David Cameron cut short a state visit to Africa and called on Parliament to delay its summer recess on Monday, as he confronted a growing scandal over his cozy ties with Rupert Murdoch’s top lieutenants in Britain and the opposition posed a fresh challenge to the political survival of his young government.

Cameron, the leader of the Conservative Party, agreed to return early to hold a special session of Parliament on Wednesday after he came under renewed assault from a reinvigorated Labour Party, which has repeatedly pressed him to explain in more detail his decision to hire Andrew Coulson, the former editor of the now-defunct News of the World, as his communications director.

His close personal ties to Rebekah Brooks, the former head of News International and a confidante of Murdoch, are also under scrutiny. Coulson and Brooks have been arrested in a widening probe into hacking the phones of British celebrities, government officials, members of the royal family and victims of high-profile crimes and terrorist attacks.

Beyond the immediwhom Cameron has adate politics, there was mitted to meeting with a growing sense across almost twice a month the country that the during his 15 months in crisis had raised fundaoffice.

mer editors, was one of the factors, the police have said, that prompted them to reopen an investigation into News of the World.

Top police officials and senior executives of News Corp., including Rupert and James Murdoch and Brooks, are scheduled to appear before parliamentary committee hearings today that many expect to be part of a lengthy and open-ended inquiry into the origins of the phone hacking, the legal culpability of News Corp. officials, the failure of the police to uncover the full extent of the hacking and the connections between Murdoch’s empire and senior British politicians.

The turning point for Cameron came with the resignations of the two Scotland Yard officers. Last week, though he had disappointed Conservatives by allowing Miliband to make the early move in Parliament, he steadied matters for the government by joining in demands, which were met, for News Corp., the parent company of News International, to abandon its $12 billion bid to take over British Sky Broadcasting, the country’s dominant satellite TV network, and for Brooks to quit.

He also appointed a judge-led inquiry into the tabloid abuses,

and into the ethics and practices of British newspapers, and said he would never have hired Coulson if he had not had assurances from the former editor that he played no part in the News of the World phone hacking. Then he left for South Africa.

Cameron appeared not to have reckoned with the bombshells thrown by the police officers as they quit under pressure marshaled by him, Home Secretary Theresa May and Boris Johnson, the London mayor, all leading Conservatives. Both police officials implied that if they merited losing their jobs over their befriending a former deputy editor at News of the World, Neil Wallis, so, too, might Cameron, over his long-term relationship with Coulson, who held an even more senior post at the paper.

Paul Stephenson, the Scotland Yard chief, told a news conference on Sunday that he had not told the prime minister about his close ties with Wallis, arrested last week on suspicion of involvement in the phone hacking and bribery of police officers, because he “did not want to compromise a potential suspect who clearly had a close relationship with Mr. Coulson.”

Hacking

Inquiries on several fronts

Continued from A1 Interviews with dozens of people involved in the hacking scandal, including current and former News Corp. employees, provide an inside view of how a small group of executives pursued strategies for years that had the effect of obscuring the extent of wrongdoing in the newsroom of News of the World, Britain’s best-selling tabloid. And once the hacking scandal escalated, they scrambled in vain to quarantine the damage.

Evidence indicating that News of the World paid the police for information was not handed over to the authorities for four years.

Its parent company paid hefty sums to those who threatened legal action, on the condition of silence. The tabloid continued to pay reporters and editors whose knowledge could prove embarrassing even after they were fired or arrested for hacking. A key editor’s computer equipment was destroyed, and e-mail evidence was lost. Internal advice to accept responsibility was ignored, former executives said.

Brooks’ representative, David Wilson, said she maintained her innocence and looked forward to clearing her name, but declined to answer specific questions.

As a trickle of revelations has become a torrent, the company switched from containment to crisis mode. Brooks and others first made the case, widely believed to be true, that other newspapers had also hacked phones and sought to dig up evidence to prove it, interviews show. At a private meeting, Rupert Murdoch warned Paul Dacre, the editor of the rival Daily Mail newspaper and one of the most powerful men on Fleet Street, that “we are not going to be the only bad dog on the street,” according to an account Dacre gave to his management team. Murdoch’s spokesman did not respond to questions about his private conversations.

Former company executives and political aides assert that News International executives carried out a campaign of selective leaks implicating previous management and the police.

Company officials deny that. The Metropolitan Police responded with a statement alleging a “deliberate campaign to undermine the investigation into the alleged payments by corrupt journalists to corrupt police officers.”

Murdoch was attending a conference in Sun Valley, Idaho, early this month when it became clear that the latest eruption of the hacking scandal was not, as he first thought, a passing problem. According to a person briefed on the conversation, he proposed to one senior executive that he “fly commercial to London,” so he might be seen as a man of the people. He was told that would hardly do the trick, and he arrived on a private jet.

The storm Murdoch flew into had been brewing since 2006, when the tabloid’s royalty reporter and a private investigator were prosecuted for hacking into the messages of the royal household staff in search of juicy news exclusives. For years afterward, company executives publicly insisted that the hacking was limited to that one “rogue reporter.”

Andy Coulson resigned as editor of News of the World after the prosecution, but said he knew nothing. “If you’re talking about illegal tapping by a private investigator,” Rupert Murdoch declared in February 2007, “that is not part of our culture anywhere in the world, least of all in Britain.”

But it turns out that almost from the beginning, executives of News International, the British subsidiary that owns the tabloid, had access to information indicating that other reporters were also engaged in the practice.

The information came from thousands of pages of records with the names of thousands of possible hacking targets that Scotland Yard seized during the royal hacking case from the home of the private investigator, Glenn Mulcaire, who worked for the tabloid. While the police largely limited their investigation to the royalty case, lawyers representing people believed to be victims of hacking fought for access to Mulcaire’s records and made them available to the tabloid executives during the litigation.

In the initial cases, News International saw documents naming other journalists, according to details of those cases obtained

by The New York Times. Notes in Mulcaire’s files include the names “Ian” and “Neville,” apparent references to the news editor, Ian Edmondson, and the chief reporter, Neville Thurlbeck.

James Murdoch, who oversees Europe and Asia operations for News Corp., signed off on a 700,000 pound settlement with Gordon Taylor, a soccer union boss who was the first to sue.

One condition of the payment was confidentiality.

This month, James Murdoch acknowledged he was wrong to settle the suit, saying he did not “have a complete picture of the case” at the time.

Brooks personally persuaded Max Clifford, a celebrity publicist, to drop his case in return for even more compensation, Clifford said. He was paid to provide story tips to the paper — a deal he said totaled 1 million pounds.

Beyond Mulcaire’s files, another likely source of information about hacking by News of the World is its internal e-mails.

Even as the company faced a flood of claims over the past several years, News International has acknowledged that it did not take any steps to preserve e-mails that might contain evidence of hacking until late last fall. When

an internal disagreement, the payments were moved from the newsroom budget to News International’s. The company put other journalists on paid leave after their arrests, reasoning that they were innocent until proved guilty, a company spokesperson said. By the middle of last year, News International’s lawyers and some executives were urging that the company accept some responsibility, said two officials with direct knowledge.

Brooks disagreed, according to three people who described the internal debate. “Her behavior all along has been resist, resist, resist,” said one company official.

was News of the World’s editor during the Dowler hacking, issued an apology, saying that she would be appalled “if the accusations are true.”

In the past two weeks, a series of leaks landed in other British news media that appeared intended to shift blame from News International’s current leadership and onto Coulson and the Metropolitan Police. According to political aides and News Corp. executives, the leaks most likely came from within the company.

Late last week, Rupert Murdoch told the Wall Street Journal that News Corp. had handled the situation “extremely well in every way possible,” except for a few “minor mistakes.”

This weekend, as Murdoch was coached to face Parliament on Tuesday by a team of lawyers and public relations experts, a full-page advertisement from News Corp. appeared in every major British newspaper. “We are sorry,” it said.

News of the World moved offices late last year, the computer used

by Edmondson was destroyed in what the company describes as a standard procedure.

The company asserted in court that a vast amount of its e-mails from 2005 and 2006 — believed to be the height of the hacking activity — had been lost. Company officials blamed bungling, not conspiracy, for the erasures.

News International has subsequently acknowledged that some messages might be recoverable on backup disks, and the police are trying to recover that information now, said Tom Watson, a Labour Party member of Parliament.

Last year, a forensic computer specialist that the company hired to help it comply with a court order to turn over documents made a surprising discovery: three e-mails sent to Edmondson containing PIN codes that could allow access to voicemail, as well as names and telephone numbers, one official said.

The paper fired Edmonson and turned over the e-mails to the police. Those e-mails were a factor in the decision to open a new Scotland Yard inquiry into hacking, according to the inquiry’s leader, Sue Akers. Edmondson referred questions to his lawyer, who did not respond.

In April, the police arrested Edmondson, along with Thurlbeck. A few days later, News International issued a blanket apology, saying, “It is now apparent that our previous inquiries failed to uncover important evidence.”

News International has for years said a 2007 internal investigation showed that hacking was not widespread, but recent interviews with company officials indicate that the inquiry had a different purpose. It was aimed at defending the company from a lawsuit filed by Clive Goodman, the paper’s royalty reporter who had been fired for hacking. He claimed that the dismissal was unfair because others were hacking as well, according to two company officials with direct knowledge.

After Edmondson was fired and arrested, Brooks pressed to pay him a monthly stipend, according to a person with knowledge of the transaction. After

Scandal erupts Over the past several months, Brooks spearheaded a strategy that seemed designed to spread the blame across Fleet Street, interviews show. Several former News of the World journalists said that she asked them to dig up evidence of hacking. One said in an interview that Brooks’ target was not her own newspapers, but her rivals.

Dacre, the editor of The Daily Mail, told his senior managers that he had received several reports from businesspeople, soccer stars and public relations agencies that two News International executives, Will Lewis and Simon Greenberg, had encouraged them to investigate whether their phones had been hacked by Daily Mail newspapers.

“They thought it was unfair that all the focus was on The News of the World,” said one News International official with knowledge of the effort. The two men have told colleagues they did not make such calls, but two company officials disputed that.

Dacre confronted Brooks over breakfast at the plush Brown’s Hotel. “You are trying to tear down the entire industry,” Dacre told her, according to an account he relayed to his management team.

The scandal that smoldered for years ignited this month with news reports that the tabloid had hacked into the messages of Milly Dowler, a missing 13-year-old girl who was subsequently discovered murdered. Brooks, who

man, 97, is acquitted in World War II massacre

By Nicholas Kulish New York Times News Service

BERLIN — A court in Hungary on Monday acquitted a 97-year-old man accused of taking part in a massacre during World War II, Hungarian news reports said.

The court found the man, San- Sandor Kepiro dor Kepiro, not guilty of war crimes in connection with the deaths of 36 people in the northern Serbian city of Novi Sad in 1942. Kepiro had been convicted twice before of taking part in the massacre, known as the Racija, the Serbian word for raid.

Kepiro had acknowledged to reporters that he took part as a junior police officer in rounding up people before the massacre, but denied killing anyone or giving the order to shoot victims. More than 1,200 civilians, mostly Jews but also Serbs and Roma, were killed, their bodies dumped in Danube River.

“The verdict flies in the face of all the evidence, all logic, and the understanding of events as they occurred,” said Efraim Zuroff, the chief Nazi hunter for the Simon Wiesenthal Center.

At 61, she’ll take on sharks in a 60-hour, 103-mile swim

By Lizette Alvarez New York Times News Service

KEY WEST, Fla. — Any day now, Diana Nyad will set out to do something no athlete has ever done: swim all day and all night, then all day and all night, then all day again.

She will swim about 60 hours in the churning sea, 103 miles across the Straits of Florida from Cuba to Key West. Every hour and a half, she will stop to tread water for a few minutes as she swallows a liquid mixture of predigested protein and eats an occasional bit of banana or dollop of peanut butter. She will most likely hallucinate and endure the stings of countless jellyfish.

Along the way, sea salt will swell her tongue to cartoonish proportions and rub her skin raw.

“She is up against the most outlandish, outrageous, unbelievable physical endurance activity of, certainly, my lifetime,” said Steven Munatones, a champion openwater swimmer who runs the organization Open Water Source and will serve as an independent observer during Nyad’s swim. “I can’t imagine being in the ocean for 60 hours. I can’t imagine doing anything for 60 hours. It is inconceivable. It simply is.”

“Especially,” he added, “at her age.”

Her age is 61. Nyad attempted this swim once before, unsuccessfully, in 1978 at the age of 28.

She swam inside a shark cage for 41 hours 49 minutes until the raucous weather and powerful current pushed her far off course and she was forced to give up. She had traveled only 50 miles. (One year later, she swam 102 miles from Bimini, in the Bahamas, to Jupiter, Fla., without a shark cage.

She still holds the record for the world’s longest ocean swim.)

This time, armed with better technology and a battered but tough body, she is certain she will make it.

“Physically, I am much stronger than I was before, although I was faster in my 20s,” said Nyad, who looks sturdy enough to defy

“Physically, I am much stronger than I was before, although I was faster in my 20s. I feel strong, powerful, and endurance-wise, I’m fit.”

— Diana Nyad, 61, on her world-record attempt

a linebacker. “I feel strong, powerful, and endurance-wise, I’m fit.”

Experience and training Michael Joyner, a professor of anesthesiology and exercise research at the Mayo Clinic, agrees that older athletes, particularly superb ones, do well in endurance sports, because experience and training can offset the need for speed.

At 52, Jeannie Longo still ranks as a top competitive cyclist.

Gordie Howe played hockey into his 50s, and Jack LaLanne was 60 when he swam from Alcatraz Island to Fisherman’s Wharf, in San Francisco, for a second time, handcuffed, shackled and towing a 1,000-pound boat. Swimming is particularly techniquedriven, which will help Nyad tremendously.

“There are a ton of examples of people in their late 50s and early 60s doing all sorts of wild things,” Joyner said. “If the logistics work out, barring bad storms or currents, it is doable. It’s not a sure thing. But it wouldn’t be a sure thing if it were Michael Phelps.”

If Nyad makes it from Cuba to Key West, she will be the first person to have done so without a shark cage. In 1997, an Australian woman completed the swim inside a shark cage. But with a boat pulling the cage, the swim is easier and faster; the woman completed it in less than 24 hours.

“I’m in uncharted territory,” Nyad said.

This time around, Nyad, an ac-

complished marathon swimmer and sportscaster, is taking no chances. She has trained harder — for a year and a half — and changed her regimen. Rather than swim every day, she swims every other day. Last year, she completed a 24-hour swim in Mexico.

To help her succeed, she has organized an armada of people — 22 in all — to serve as her support team. All of them will travel to Cuba, visas in hand, and will try to arrive within three days of her swim.

“That’s the part that really interests me about Diana,” Munatones said. “It’s not just the swimming part. There are people who can swim this. But they don’t have the organizational, political and passionate oratorical skills she has.”

Technological help She also has technology on her side: satellites, global positioning systems, advanced navigation software, even shark shields, none of which were available in 1978. The cost for all this is $500,000. She has raised money and depleted her own bank account, but she is still $150,000 short. Nyad, who works for National Public Radio, shrugs it off.

“If I wind up $150,000 in debt, I won’t lose sleep over it,” she said.

At the moment, four experts are looking seven days ahead to pinpoint the ideal weather for her to travel to Cuba and wade into the ocean: a satellite oceanographer and meteorologist trained in the vagaries of the Gulf Stream; another meteorologist who works for CNN; and two officials at NOAA, the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration.

They are all hoping for the beginning of a low-pressure system that could create the doldrums, a waveless sea, for a few days.

Two men in kayaks will follow Nyad’s every stroke. They will hold a shark shield — neoprene rods that emit electrical waves to zap sharks that come too close.

The waters between Cuba and

When the conditions are right, Diana Nyad, 61, a marathon swimmer, will attempt to set a record by swimming from Cuba to Florida across the shark-infested Straits of Florida in 60 hours, without leaving the water.

Key West are a notorious shark playground. But the shield is not foolproof. Just in case it fails, as it did last year in the Caribbean when another woman was on a marathon swim, four shark divers with spears will be onboard, ready to jump.

Still, her doctor worries about hydration, starvation and keeping her body warm in the water.

The ocean must be at least 86 degrees, which sounds warm unless a person is in it for 60 hours.

“The big concerns are, can she stay awake, focused and hydrated,” said her physician for the swim, Dr. Michael Broder, an associate clinical professor at the University of California, Los Angeles, School of Medicine. Some days her long swims have made her sick and other days they have not. “Because nobody else has ever done this, it’s not clear what causes all the things she has experienced,” Broder said.

But why go through this agony again?

Nyad pinned the reason on her gallop toward 60; it unsettled her greatly. She needed a fresh, powerful target to stir up her energy and ambition. And although she had given up swimming abruptly in 1979, a casualty of burnout, her mind seized on her unsuccessful swim to Key West.

“This is what I need to remedy my malaise,” Nyad said. “I need commitment to take over. That level of commitment has such a high.

There is no thinking about regrets or what will I do with the rest of

Insurance Continued from A1 “We’re talking about jobs,” county Finance Director and Treasurer Marty Wynne told a county health benefits committee last week.

That’s because the county charges departments a set amount per employee — currently $1,169 a month — for insurance coverage. Employees pay $65 a month, whether they are single or have families. If the county has to drastically increase the health insurance charge to keep the plan afloat, it will have less to devote to employees and services.

The county, which is self-insured, spends approximately $14 million a year on health insurance claims and medications. The county’s total budget is about $267 million a year. The county uses a third-party administrator to process insurance claims, which it pays out of a county fund.

Employee medical claims have increased in recent years, from $7.8 million in 2006 to $14 million in the budget year that ended June 30. The county also temporarily reduced the monthly premiums it charges itself in 2009.

It had built up a large savings fund to pay medical claims, and county officials wanted to reduce spending during the recession.

In recent years, the county has spent less per employee on insurance than other local governments. For example, in March 2010 the city of Bend paid $1,227 a month for many of its employees, while Deschutes County paid $1,028 per employee.

Now, Bend is also trying to cut health insurance expenses, and many employees will transition to a high-deductible plan on Aug. 1 that will cost the city approximately $390 a month for a single employee and $970 a month for a family, said Kurt Chapman, assistant human resources manager. In addition, the city will set aside $2,000 annually for each single employee and $4,000 for each employee with a family, in health reimbursement accounts.

The city will pay $1,355 per month to insure employees and their families who are not on the high-deductible plan.

The Segal Company, a consultant hired by Deschutes County, found the county could save at least $1.9 million to $2.9 million annually through a variety of measures, and County Administrator Dave Kanner said during a meeting last week that he wants

to adopt several of them right away. A committee of county employees will meet this morning to vote on whether to recommend adopting those measures. These changes could save $861,000 to $1.3 million, according to estimates from The Segal Company, and the county might pursue more of the company’s recommendations in the future.

The Segal Company’s analysis cost $30,000, which the county paid for with money from the fund it uses to pay medical claims.

“I think there are certain things we can and should do right away,” Kanner said last week.

Ideas up for vote today One of the main recommendations of the consultant’s report is to make employees more aware of whether they are choosing more expensive, or more cost-effective, health care options. One way of doing this is to require employees to pay a portion of the cost at the time a medical service is provided, so that people pay more when they use more health services.

Kanner wants to begin requiring a co-payment when employees go to the emergency room, are hospitalized, or receive outpatient care. He also wants to increase the office visit co-payment for primary care physicians and specialists from the current $15 per visit to $25 per visit for primary care and $50 per visit for a specialist.

Theresa Reiter, a nutrition educator for Women Infants and Children and a member of the benefits committee, said last week that people will choose cheaper options when they have to pay a portion of the cost.

“Money is the motivator,” Reiter said.

“I think part of the issue is a lot of the employees don’t want any change at all,” Reiter said later in the meeting. “That’s not practical with escalating health costs.”

Kanner also wants to conduct a dependent eligibility audit to determine whether ineligible people are receiving insurance coverage. These types of audits have found 12 percent to 20 percent of spouses and domestic partners are ineligible, either because they voluntarily withdrew or because they could not verify their status, according to The Segal Company. Audits have reduced the numbers of dependent children on insurance plans by 8 percent to 12 percent.

“I bet you’ve got a couple exwives on your plan that you don’t

know are on there and your employee probably doesn’t know are on there,” Linda Johnson, a benefits consultant for The Segal Company, said during a presentation to the county on July 12.

“Before you start squeezing people who are rightfully on the plan for more money, you might want to look for people who aren’t.”

The audit would require employees and their dependents to produce documentation that they are entitled to health coverage, such as birth certificates, marriage licenses and tax returns.

Kanner also wants to implement higher co-payments for brand-name pharmaceuticals, once the county begins providing pharmacy services at its onsite employee clinic.

The Segal Company wrote in the report that “the County is seeing their participants take more drugs and higher cost drugs,” and employees are choosing brand-name drugs over generics at a slightly higher rate than employees for many of The Segal Company’s other clients.

“The county’s No. 2 utilized drug, Nexium, is chronically overutilized and there are many generic alternatives that have similar clinical results,” The Segal Company wrote of the purple pill that treats symptoms of acid reflux.

Other recommendations from the consultant’s report are not being addressed now, although the county could adopt them in the future.

The Segal Company wrote that the county should try to obtain more discounts for many different medical services, although rural areas “with sole community provider hospitals and minimal numbers of physicians” often can get only half the discount possible “in a major metropolitan area.”

Another major recommendation was to add more tiers to the monthly employee insurance premium so that employees pay more to insure their spouses, partners and children.

The Segal Company noted that “most plans do not cover massage therapy,” but did not recommend that the county eliminate that benefit. In 2009, the county paid more than $136,000 for employees to get massages, which are covered under $1,500 employees can spend each year on “alternative care.”

Afghanistan Continued from A1 “There will be tough days ahead,” Allen said in prepared remarks, which he delivered at a ceremony at the headquarters of the International Security Assistance Force here, “and I have no illusions about the challenges we will face together.”

His first day in command offered a grim snapshot of those difficulties. Three NATO soldiers were killed on Monday by an improvised bomb in eastern Afghanistan, and another died in a separate incident in the south, NATO forces said in statements.

Elsewhere in Kabul, Afghan officials gathered at the presidential palace to pay tribute to the second powerful political figure to be assassinated in less than a week.

The politician, Jan Mohammed Khan, was a former governor from the south and a close ally of the president who was gunned down at his home Sunday night.

To gain entry, the two killers pretended to be members of Khan’s tribe, seeking his assistance as a tribal elder, Afghan officials said on Monday. Khan gave one of the men 3,000 Afghanis — about $60 — before they began shooting, the officials said. A member of Parliament was also killed in the attack.

The two gunmen in turn were killed by Afghan security forces, though one of them held the police off for nearly eight hours. The police finally set off a bomb in the room inside Khan’s home where the gunman had taken refuge.

The Taliban claimed responsibility for the attack, as they did for the assassination last Tuesday of President Hamid Karzai’s powerful half-brother, Ahmed Wali Karzai, who was shot dead by a close associate.

On Monday, a Karzai spokesman lionized both of the slain men as national heroes, dismissing as defamation the widespread criticism of both men’s unsavory alliances and suspected ties to the drug trade. The spokesman, Waheed Omer, said their deaths were part of a concerted attempt to disrupt Afghanistan’s security.

“The enemy is trying to remove these personalities,” he said. “They want to remove them in a very systematic manner.”

Rising civilian deaths At the handover ceremony, Petraeus offered similar warnings about the dedication of the insurgents, whom he said were willing to carry out “barbaric” and indiscriminate attacks against civilians.

Indeed, the United Nations recently said that civilian casualties in the last six months had risen sharply compared with the same period a year ago. It blamed 80 percent of those killings on antigovernment forces like the Taliban.

“We should be clear-eyed about the challenges that lie ahead,” Petraeus said, adding later: “There is nothing easy about such a fight.”

Still, as Petraeus prepared to depart for Washington to become the next director of the CIA, his overall assessment was hopeful.

He said that Afghan and NATO troops had pushed back Taliban fighters in their southern strongholds of Helmand and Kandahar provinces. And he said that there were fewer insurgent attacks on security forces in the last two and a half months than in the same period in 2010, “even though there are over 80,000 more Afghan and ISAF forces this year, and we have been on the offensive.”

He also cited as signs of progress the transition of seven cities and provinces to Afghan-led security. The central province of Bamiyan — home to the ancient Buddha statues that were destroyed by the Taliban a decade ago — was handed over on Sunday, and officials said that more areas would begin the formal transition this week.

Most of the seven areas included in the first round are relatively stable, or have handled their own security for years with little help from NATO forces. Afghan officials in Kabul and some of the seven areas have acknowledged that the change will be more symbolic than substantive, at least in the short term.

In Kandahar province, the police chief of the Registan District was killed along with three bodyguards when an improvised explosive device detonated under their vehicle as they were driving to the Shurabak District. Three more bodyguards were injured, said Sher Shah Yousufzai, the chief of security for Kandahar Province.

The device appeared to have been freshly planted, Yousufzai said. The police, even more than the army, have been insurgent targets in part because their vehicles are not armored, but also because they often work in remote and dangerous areas.

Taliban video shows killing of 16 Pakistanis

By Salman Masood New York Times News Service

ISLAMABAD — Taliban insurgents released a video showing them killing 16 Pakistani men who were captured in a raid in a restive northwestern province last month, a spokesman for the Pakistani military said Monday.

The video shows the 16 men,

most of whom appear to be Pakistani police officers, standing in a line with their hands tied behind their backs. Four insurgents stand in front, holding assault rifles, with their faces covered by scarves.

One insurgent makes a speech in Pashto, the language spoken in the country’s northwest, ac-

cusing the men of killing six children in the Swat district.

The speaker describes the men as “murtards” — those who have abandoned Islam — according to a translation of the statement posted by The Long War Journal, a website that specializes in reports on militancy.

“They are the Pakistani po-

lice, soldiers, and their supporters who recently lined up six kids in Swat and shot them execution-style,” the insurgent says. “These Pakistanis are now our captives, and we will avenge the death of the children by doing the same to them.”

A quick burst of gunfire follows. The men fall to the ground,

and some can be heard moaning.

Then an insurgent approaches them one by one and fires rounds into each man who appears to still be alive. The video runs for 5 minutes 36 seconds.

No Taliban group has yet claimed responsibility for the video, which was first shown on the LiveLeak video-sharing website.

Will health insurance As weather becomes a top story, forecasters take on the hero role ever get cheaper?

By Christine Vestal Stateline.org

WASHINGTON — Ask any small-business owner whether the new national health law has made a dent in employer insurance bills, and the answer will likely be “No.” It’s the correct answer. In fact, insurance premiums nationally have gone up more than 16 percent since the law was enacted a little more than a year ago. In some parts of the country, increases have been as much as 30 percent.

This year, states will start cracking down on double-digit rate hikes with the hope of containing premiums by 2014, when nearly everyone will be required to purchase insurance. But some experts question whether the new push will work.

The Affordable Care Act actually gives the federal government little power to guarantee that health insurance is affordable. Instead, the job is left up to states. But for the most part, they aren’t doing it. Almost half of them lack legal authority to reject an insurance company’s rates, and many that have the authority fail to use it.

In at least 28 states, no prior approval is required for insurance companies to raise rates on small businesses, according to data from the National Association of Insurance Commissioners. When it comes to individual policies, 21 states allow the rate hikes to take effect without approval.

Starting Sept. 1, the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services aims to change that.

Some 45 states have each received a $1 million federal grant to beef up their insurance rate review capability, and another $200 million total is slated to follow. In exchange, the federal government is asking the states to take a hard look at any rate increases of 10 percent or more.

Alaska, Georgia, Iowa, Minnesota and Montana did not apply for federal grants. In those states and possibly others, the federal government will start reviewing insurance premium increases for individuals and small businesses. Rates for large employers will remain largely unregulated in all states, under the assumption that big companies have enough leverage with insurers to negotiate reasonable rates for themselves.

Will states regulate, or simply review?

In all states, premium increases considered unreasonable will be posted on a federal website where insurers will have to explain them. HHS says the overall effort will bring “an unprecedented level of scrutiny and transparency to health insurance rate increases.”

But consumer advocates are not convinced. “They’re basically relying on public embarrassment to get insurance companies to lower their rates,” says Carmen Balder, of Consumer Watchdog.

“Ultimately, consumers will not be protected from unjustified rate hikes until regulators have full authority to modify, and not just review, unreasonable rates before they take effect,” she wrote in comments on the proposed rule.

Others disagree. According to Sara Rosenbaum, director of George Washington University’s health policy program, the success of state efforts to keep a lid on insurance premiums has historically relied on two things: political will and adequate regulatory resources. Those have generally been lacking. Now, she believes, the federal money and national spotlight should make a difference in consumers’ favor.

Insurance companies general-

ly support state, rather than federal, review of their premiums.

According to America’s Health Insurance Plans, an insurers’ trade group, state commissioners are in the best position to review rate hikes because they already monitor insurance company solvency to make certain the companies have sufficient reserves to cover future medical costs.

‘Dirty little secret’ But state regulation has its risks. “The dirty little secret,” says Rosenbaum, “is that it’s hard for states to regulate insurance companies, because if the companies don’t like it, they can pull out.” Rural states where only one or two carriers offer policies are particularly vulnerable.

That’s why a few states took the controversial step this year of allowing out-of-state insurance companies to sell policies within their borders. Maine was one of them. Under Republican Gov. Paul LePage and a GOP-led legislature, Maine enacted a sweeping new law aimed at making the insurance industry more competitive — and lowering premium prices.

But there were tradeoffs. The law repealed a provision requiring carriers to have networks of doctors and hospitals within 50 miles of every subscriber, a change critics charge will hurt rural Maine residents. It allows a bigger difference between rates for elders and rates for younger people, in an effort to get more young and healthy Mainers to purchase insurance. To stimulate competition, carriers from all New England states except Vermont will be allowed to sell their product in Maine, regardless of the fine print in their policies.

Trish Riley, who was health policy director for former Democratic Gov. John Baldacci and architect of the state’s 2003 Dirigo health program, calls Maine’s new insurance law “a blunt approach.” But she says some kind of change was needed. Maine has the second-highest insurance rates in the country.

“The notion of competition in the insurance industry is highly overrated,” Riley says.

The most important part of regulation, she maintains, is scrutinizing underlying medical costs.

States have to ask insurance companies what they’re doing to keep costs down. If they’re not pushing back on health care providers, nobody is. Consumers — except for large corporations — have practically no influence over the prices they pay for health care.

And states can’t regulate provider costs, except under Medicaid and other state programs. It’s up to insurance companies. Or at least, Riley insists, that has been the case so far.

Although the federal health law does not directly empower the federal government to reject steep insurance rates, it does include a number of provisions aimed at keeping rates down.

The most important one is the controversial “individual mandate, “ which requires nearly everyone to have health insurance so that young people, generally at little risk for serious illness and therefore cheaper to insure, will be brought into the system.

For those unable to pay, there will be federal tax subsidies.

The federal law also limits charges for insurance company overhead to no more than 20 percent of premiums for individual and small-business policies. Finally, it limits premium disparities between policies for younger people and those for older subscribers to no more than 30 percent.

By Kim Severson ATLANTA — One evening in April, Tina Eller had the television on. Glenn Burns, the steely chief meteorologist for WSB-TV, said a tornado was three minutes away from slamming into her community.

Burns’ instructions were simple: Take cover.

Eller, 51, rushed to a closet with her mother, two sisters and four dogs.

“All of the sudden you hear the glass shattering and wood cracking and the trees just rattling,” she said.

Every room in the house was wrecked, except the space that held her family.

“It was that warning we got from him that got us into the closet on time,” she said.

“I never would have lived through it.”

As the nation experiences a year of remarkable floods, drought and its deadliest tornado season in half a century, the broadcast meteorologist has emerged as an unlikely hero.

Increasingly, the weather is becoming a bigger part of the national conversation. As scientists explore the implications of climate change and severe weather’s effect on everything from crops to urban infrastructure, broadcast meteorologists like Burns are the ones who bring it home every day in eye-popping computer graphics.

“The weather is more extreme, the floods are wetter and the droughts are drier,” said Chris Vaccaro, a spokesman for the National Weather Service. “That’s going to have real implications on society and it elevates the need for more information and a need for those on-air personalities.

It’s beyond what to wear for the day or do I need to carry an umbrella.”

More advanced gig Gone are the days when the local weather guy had to climb on a tricycle at the clown parade, and Diane Sawyer, who got her start delivering forecasts in Louisville, Ky., was called a weather bunny. Now, the weather forecaster is the egghead of the television newsroom. Most have advanced degrees that include courses in calculus and atmospheric thermodynamics.

Burns, a man with affection for Porsches and astrophysics, has for 30 years predicted the weather for Atlanta-area viewers. In the old days, he used to have to wait for his turn in the newscast, slap a magnetic sun on a map and hope it didn’t rain.

Now he presides over a new $1.7 million radar system and has more real estate on the set than the newscasters have.

As that kind of technology offers the ability to predict with great precision how a severe storm will move, the weather forecast has become about saving lives.

In Alabama, Gov. Robert Bentley called James Spann, the rock star of meteorology in the state, a hero for his role when an unprecedented string of tornadoes bore down there this spring and killed nearly 250 people.

Without the rapid warnings Spann sent out via Twitter, Internet streams and television, surely more lives would have been lost.

that has turned from explaining the finer points of a jet stream to one where lives depend on it.

“If somebody is hurt or killed by severe weather, there isn’t a person among us who doesn’t think, ‘What could I have done differently? What could I have done better?’” said Jay Trobec, meteorologist for KELO-TV in Sioux Falls, S.D., and commissioner for professional affairs for the American Meteorological Society, which certifies broadcasters who deliver the weather.

“In the old days,” Trobec said, “it was good enough to be able to rip and read the forecast from the National Weather Service.”

Doppler changed it all Exactly when the role changed from the guy-who-fouled-upweekend-plans-with-a-botchedforecast to community hero remains a topic of debate. But part of the evolution can be traced to the late 1980s when Doppler radar — a term even the casual viewer knows but perhaps does not understand — became a tool for broadcast meteorologists.

The radar technology, named after an effect noted by a 19thcentury Austrian physicist, is a way to measure speed and direction. It allowed local forecasters to be more precise.

Changing weather has had something to do with the popu-

larity of local forecasts, too.

“When this El Niño stuff started popping up a lot in the 1990s, that’s when weather started to really have a presence,” said Monica Pearson, a veteran newscaster who has worked with Burns in Atlanta since he arrived at the station in 1981.

“I remember when we used to take time away from Glenn,” Pearson said. “Now he takes time away from us.”

And that’s how it should be, said Burns, whose fascination with weather began when he was a boy hanging out at the Miami television station his father used to run. “Weather is the reason to watch a newscast,” Burns said.

“It’s king.”

Of course, not everyone is impressed with the technological wizardry. The station’s new radar was the subject of a lively discussion at Radio-Info.com, an

online community for broadcast professionals.

“It takes too damn long to describe some three-dee whatsit and oddball ‘middle of the storm’ transition color modeling,” wrote an anonymous poster called nightmanager. “I am not sure the current way of doing things is much better than the old way when we knew there was a storm coming and everybody just took shelter.”

And sometimes, people just want to know if it is going to rain over the weekend. And they hold the forecaster personally responsible when it does.

“I get people asking me every day, ‘Why don’t you do something about this?’” said Marshall McPeek, a popular forecaster in Columbus, Ohio.

His answer?

“If I could change the weather, do you think I’d still be in television?”

The ever-safer playground: Fewer injuries, but more risks

Head injury doubles risk of dementia in veterans

NEW YORK — When seesaws and tall slides and other perils were disappearing from New York’s playgrounds, Henry Stern drew a line in the sandbox. As the city’s parks commissioner in the 1990s, he issued an edict concerning the 10-foot-high jungle gym near his childhood home in northern Manhattan.

“I grew up on the monkey bars in Fort Tryon Park, and I never forgot how good it felt to get to the top of them,” Stern said. “I didn’t want to see that playground bowdlerized. I said that as long as I was parks commissioner, those monkey bars were going to stay.”

PARIS — Head injuries may more than double the risk of dementia in military veterans, a study found.

The dementia risk was 15.3 percent among U.S. veterans who had sustained a traumatic brain injury, compared with 6.8 percent for those who didn’t suffer head trauma, over a seven-year period. The risk was significant for all forms of traumatic brain injury, or TBI, said researchers, who reviewed medical records of 281,540 veterans ages 55 and older.

The findings, presented at the Alzheimer’s Association International Conference in Paris Monday, highlight another potential hazard of war.

Traumatic brain injury is a “signature wound” of the conflicts in Iraq and Afghanistan, accounting for 22 percent of casualties overall and 59 percent of blast-related injuries, said Kristine Yaffe, director of the Memory Disorders Program at the San Francisco Veterans Affairs Medical Center, who led the research.

“This issue is important because TBI is very common,” Yaffe said. “The data suggest that TBI in older veterans may predispose them toward development of symptomatic dementia. And they raise concern about the potential longterm consequences of TBI in younger veterans.”

Soldiers increasingly suffer serious head injuries as a result of changes in warfare technology, said William Thies, chief medical and scientific officer of the Alzheimer’s Association.

Another study presented Monday found that former players in the National Football League had higher risk for mild cognitive impairment, according to the Alzheimer’s group.

Huge pot growing operation busted

By Andrew Blankstein Los Angeles Times

LOS ANGELES — Nearly 68,500 pot plants valued at $205.46 million were eradicated after the discovery last week in the rugged mountains north of Ojai in Southern California, according to a sheriff’s statement.

No suspects were arrested.

So far this year, more than 100,000 marijuana plants have been eradicated.

Sheriff’s investigators initially

found several large plots on the north slope of Pine Mountain.

Investigators were airlifted to other sites on the mountain where they discovered several campsites used by the growers that included tents, propane stoves, sleeping bags, fertilizers, pesticides and “an enormous amount of trash.”

They also discovered a 9mm handgun, a .22 caliber rifle and ammunition for a variety of other handguns and rifles, Ventura County Sheriff’s officials said.

“The good news is that manufacturers have brought out new versions of the old toys,” he said.

“Because of height limitations, no one’s building the old monkey bars anymore, but kids can go up smaller climbing walls and rope nets and artificial rocks.”

Still, sometimes there’s nothing quite like being 10 feet off the ground, as a new generation was discovering the other afternoon at Fort Tryon Park. A soft rubber surface carpeted the pavement, but the jungle gym of Stern’s youth was still there. It was the prime destination for many children, including those who’d never seen one before, like Nayelis Serrano, a 10-year-old who was visiting her cousin.

When she got halfway up, at

the third level of bars, she paused, as if that was high enough. Then, after a consultation with her mother, she continued to the top, the fifth level, and descended to recount her triumph.

“I was scared at first,” she explained. “But my mother said if you don’t try, you’ll never know if you could do it. So I took a chance and kept going. At the top I felt very proud.” As she headed back for another climb, her mother, Orkidia Rojas, looked on from a bench and considered the pros and cons of this unfamiliar equipment.

“It’s fun,” she said. “I’d like to see it in our playground. Why not? It’s kind of dangerous, I know, but if you just think about danger you’re never going to get ahead in life.”

B U S I N E SS IN BRIEF CEO confidence loses recent momentum Vistage International Inc.’s nationwide CEO confidence index for the second quarter of 2011 fell lower than it’s been for a year and a half, reflecting decreasing confidence in the economy among executives surveyed by the executivecoaching organization, according to news releases.

The index is based on executives’ answers to questions about their companies’ profits, revenues, costs, employment, the national economy and other topics.

Results from the latest survey show a lower percentage of executives reporting projected rises in employment than in the past two quarters — 49 percent, compared with 54 percent. And 50 percent of executives expected improvements in their companies’ profitability, the lowest level in two years.

Bruce Juhola, chair of two Vistage groups that hold meetings locally, said executives at five Central Oregon companies — BendBroadband, Bend Research, Deschutes Brewery, G5 and Navis — responded to the most recent survey.

As biggest creditor, country has $1.5 trillion at stake New York Times News Service

SHANGHAI — However grim Washington’s debt and deficit negotiations may seem to Americans, the impasse is nearly as disturbing for China.

As the United States’ biggest foreign creditor — holding an estimated $1.5 trillion in U.S. government debt — China has been a vocal critic of what it considers Washington’s politicized profligacy.

“We hope that the U.S. government adopts responsible policies and measures to guarantee the interests of investors,”

Hong Lei, a foreign ministry spokesman, said at a news conference late last week.

Beijing might prefer to respond by starting to dump some of its U.S. debt. But in this financial version of the cold war, analysts say, both sides fear mutually assured destruction.

One reason the United States would want to avoid defaulting on its debt is that such a move could alienate China, which is a steady purchaser of Treasurys. Beijing, meanwhile, already has too much invested in U.S. debt to do much more but continue to buy, hold and grumble.

It is the ultimate “too big to fail” global relationship, said Andy Rothman, an analyst in Shanghai for the investment bank CLSA. If Beijing even hinted that it might try to sell part of its U.S. debt, “other countries might sell their dollar assets,” Rothman said, noting that this would drive down the value of China’s holdings. “It would be financial suicide for China.”

China got into this situation, experts say, by indulging its own economic interests. To bolster what has become the world’s largest export economy, China has focused on policies that reward domestic savings and hold down the value of its currency.

avid Bolam, owner of Healthy Paws pet food specialty store in NorthWest Crossing, has gotten used to having nearby residents stop by looking for wayward pets. “They usually end up here,” he said, after telling a dog owner looking for a black Labrador that he hasn’t seen his dog — yet.

It’s that sense of community that Bolam said he hoped to create when he opened his store in 2005. He wanted to sell pet food brands he could trust were made with healthy, safe ingredients, along with featuring locally made goods such as the dog paintings and papier-mache sculptures that adorn the shop’s walls.

Before he opened Healthy Paws, Bolam, 43, had never owned a pet food store, nor had he been an entrepreneur.

But the native of England and former

hospital technician said as a pet owner himself he knew what he wanted in a store.

“We want to eat healthy as people. So we also want our pets to eat healthy,” he said. “I wanted people to feel comfortable bringing their pets into the store.

I want them to get to know me as an owner and the few part-time employees we have.”

He appears to have achieved that, as one pet owner after another drop by the store. Most know his name and Bolam knows theirs — and their pets’ names, too. One customer drops by to introduce her two greyhounds to him, one of whom has cancer. She doesn’t buy a thing, but Bolam hands out treats and spends time asking after her sick dog.

China’s financial relationship with U.S. likely too big to fail

Lower gas prices will make people comfortable driving something bigger. Honda and Toyota, which were hurt by the Japan earthquake, will crank up production of small cars. And Japan and Detroit will offer big discounts on smaller models as their lots fill up.

The average new compact car, which cost a record $20,500 in June, should fall to

about $19,300 by the end of the year. The average used compact car should fall from a record $11,300 to about $9,600 over the same time, according figures compiled by the Kelley Blue Book auto pricing service.

Small-car prices should start falling in September and accelerate through the end of the year.

News Corp.’s troubles are ones money can’t dispel

By David Carr New York Times News Service

“Bury your mistakes,” Rupert Murdoch is fond of saying. But some mistakes don’t stay buried, no matter how much money you throw at them.

Time and again in the United States and elsewhere, Murdoch’s News Corp. has used blunt force spending to skate past judgment, agreeing to payments to settle legal cases and, undoubtedly more important, silence its critics. In the case of News America Marketing, its obscure but profitable in-store and newspaper insert marketing business, News Corp. has paid out about $655 million to make embarrassing charges of corporate espionage and anticompetitive behavior go away.

That kind of strategy provides a useful window into the larger corporate culture at a company that is now engulfed by a wildfire burning out control in London, sparked by the hacking of a murdered young girl’s phone and fed by a steady stream of revelations about seedy, unethical and sometimes criminal behavior at the company’s newspapers.

So far, 10 people have been arrested, including, on Sunday, Rebekah Brooks, the head of News International. Les Hinton, who ran News International before her and most recently was the head of Dow Jones, resigned Friday. Now we are left to wonder whether Murdoch will be forced to make an Abraham-like sacrifice and abandon his son James, the former heir apparent.

News Corp. may be hoping that it can get back to business now that some of the responsible parties have been held to account — and that people will see the incident as an aberrant byproduct of the world of British tabloids. But that seems like a stretch. The damage is likely to continue to mount, perhaps because the underlying pathology is hardly restricted to those who have taken the fall.

Delta Air Lines deals heavy blow to 24 small towns

By Joe Sharkey New York Times News Service

Rural America, already struggling to recover from the recession and the flight of its young people, is about to take another blow: the loss of its airline service.

That was underscored last week when Delta Air Lines announced that it “can no longer afford” to continue service at 24 small airports. The carrier says it is losing a total of $14 million a year on flights from places like Thief River Falls, a city of 8,600 in northwest Minnesota that fills only 12 percent of the seats, or Pierre, the capital of South Dakota, where Delta’s two daily flights are on average less than half full.

Most of the cities slated to lose service are in the Midwest and South, according to a news release from Delta. No cities in Oregon made the list. Delta offers direct flights from Redmond Airport to Portland, Salt Lake City and Seattle via Skywest Airlines.

Nationally, all major airlines have been reducing and sometimes eliminating flights in small cities as the industry concentrates its service in 29 major hubs, which account for 70 percent of all passenger traffic, according to the Federal Aviation Administration.

Without savior, Borders moves to liquidate Amazon

By Michael J. de la Merced and Julie Bosman New York Times News Service

The Borders Group said Monday that it would liquidate, shutting down the 40-year-old bookseller after it failed to find a lastminute savior.

Though it is not a big surprise, the move will still strip the publishing industry of shelf space that is growing increasingly scarce as brick-and-mortar stores continue to founder.

Borders said it would proceed with a proposal by the private equity firms Hilco and Gordon Brothers Group to close its 399 remaining stores. That liquidation plan will be presented Thursday to the federal judge overseeing the company’s bankruptcy case.

The company will begin closing its remaining stores as soon as Friday, and the liquidation is expected to run through September. The chain has 10,700

employees.

Borders’ fate appeared sealed after a committee of its biggest unsecured creditors rejected the company’s plan to sell itself to Najafi Cos. for $215.1 million.

The committee had argued that the bid by Najafi, which also owns the Book-of-the-Month Club, could have allowed the investment firm to liquidate Borders without the creditors benefiting.

“Following the best efforts

Airlines Continued from B1 Delta’s announcement was especially acute because the airline operates in most of the small airports that receive a total of almost $200 million in federal subsidies to maintain air service under the Essential Air Service program.

The subsidies are scheduled to expire in 2013 unless revived by Congress. Delta acquired many of those small-city markets in the Midwest when it merged with Northwest Airlines.

Airlines say that simple economics are driving them out of small-town America. With fuel prices high, carriers have been reducing domestic routes and seating capacity to focus on the flights that bring in the most revenue per plane — typically those in larger cities, especially major hubs. At the same time, airlines are removing less fuel-efficient aircraft from their fleets, including the 50-seat regional jets that have been the backbone of air service in small- and midsize markets.

“We just don’t have airplanes that can serve small communities economically anymore,” said Michael Boyd, the president of the air-service consulting firm Boyd Group International. “And unless somebody wants to pay a whole lot of money to carry a few people out of the airport at Thief River Falls, it just ain’t going to happen anymore for a lot of those places.”

Consistent service One of those places, it appears, is Muscle Shoals, a town of about 13,000 along the Tennessee River in northwest Alabama. About $1.7 million a year in federal subsidies maintains two Delta flights a day from Northwest Alabama Regional Airport in Muscle Shoals, one of the 24 airports Delta wants to stop serving unless it can receive larger subsidies. Those flights are operated under the Delta name on Saab A340 turboprops flown by Mesaba Airlines, a Delta subcontractor.

Barry Auchly, of the Shoals

News Corp.

Continued from B1 As Mark Lewis, the lawyer for the family of the murdered girl, Milly Dowler, said after Brooks resigned, “This is not just about one individual but about the culture of an organization.”

Well put. That organization has used strategic acumen to assemble a vast and lucrative string of media properties, but there is also a long history of rounded off corners. It has skated on regulatory issues, treated an editorial oversight committee as if it were a potted plant (at The Wall Street Journal), and made common cause with restrictive governments (China) and suspect businesses — all in the relentless pursuit of More. In the process, Murdoch has always been frank in his impatience with the rules of others.

According to The Guardian, whose bulldog reporting pulled back the curtain on the phone hacking scandal, News Corp. paid out $1.6 million in 2009 to settle claims related to the hacking scandal. While expedient, and inexpensive — the company still has gobs of money on hand — it was probably not a good strategy in the long run. If some of those cases had gone to trial, it would have had the effect of lancing the wound.

Litigation can have an annealing effect on companies, forcing them to re-examine the way they do business. But as it was, the full extent and villainy of the hacking was never known because News Corp. paid serious money to make sure it stayed that way.

And the money the company reportedly paid out to hacking victims is chicken feed compared with what it has spent trying to paper over the tactics of News

of all parties, we are saddened by this development,” Mike Edwards, Borders’ president, said in a statement. “The headwinds we have been facing for quite some time, including the rapidly changing book industry, ereader revolution, and turbulent economy, have brought us to where we are now.”

“We just don’t have airplanes that can serve small communities economically anymore. And unless somebody wants to pay a whole lot of money to carry a few people out of the airport at Thief River Falls, it just ain’t going to happen anymore for a lot of those places.”

— Michael Boyd, president, Boyd Group International Chamber of Commerce, said that the airport has enough market vitality to justify keeping commercial service. However, he said, passengers have fallen off since Delta decided this summer to redirect its two daily departures to Memphis, rather than to Delta’s global hub in Atlanta where the flights went last year.

Delta says its flights from the airport are an average of 35.7 percent full, which compares with the national average on Delta’s domestic flights of 81.9 percent in June.

“Last year, the first year with the Atlanta service, we exceeded 8,500 passengers and were well on our way to 10,000,” said Auchly. That growth proved, he said, that the local airport could eventually operate without federal air-service subsidies. He said Delta told him the destinations were switched because Memphis, though far less in demand, had more efficient turboprop service facilities than Atlanta.

America in a series of lawsuits filed by smaller competitors in the United States.

A series of suits In 2006 Minnesota accused News America of engaging in unfair trade practices, and the company settled by agreeing to pay costs and not to falsely disparage its competitors.

In 2009, a federal case in New Jersey brought by a company called Floorgraphics went to trial, accusing News America of, wait for it, hacking its way into Floorgraphics’ password protected computer system.

The complaint summed up the ethos of News America nicely, saying it had “illegally accessed plaintiff’s computer system and obtained proprietary information” and “disseminated false, misleading and malicious information about the plaintiff.”

The complaint stated that the breach was traced to an IP address registered to News America and that after the break-in, Floorgraphics lost contracts from Safeway, Winn-Dixie and Piggly Wiggly.

Much of the lawsuit was based on the testimony of Robert Emmel, a former News America executive who had become a whistle-blower. After a few days of testimony, News Corp. had heard enough. It settled with Floorgraphics for $29.5 million and then, days later, bought it, even though it reportedly had sales of less than $1 million.

But the problems continued, and keeping a lid on News America turned out to be a busy and expensive exercise. At the beginning of this year, it paid out $125 million to Insignia Systems to settle allegations of anti-competitive behavior and violations of antitrust laws. And in the most

“We want to be a self-sustaining airport,” Auchly said. “We think we have the demand; we just need to be able to depend on consistent service.”

Seeking subsidies Delta would like to continue flying from some of the 24 airports it designated last Friday as “underperforming” — but only if the federal subsidies were increased to cover the additional costs of serving them with regional jets. Meanwhile, Delta said it plans to abandon other airports where load factors were deemed too low, and assist those airports in finding replacement carriers.

Replacing a 34-seat turboprop plane with a 50-seat regional jet would seem to be counterintuitive in markets where the problem is too few passengers.

Kristin Baur, a Delta spokeswoman, acknowledged that 50-seat regional jets, besides

costly payout, it spent half a billion dollars in 2010 on another settlement, just days before the case was scheduled to go to trial.

The plaintiff, Valassis Communications, had already won a $300 million verdict in Michigan, but dropped the lawsuit in exchange for $500 million and an agreement to cooperate on certain ventures going forward.

News Corp. is a very large, well-capitalized company, but that single payout to Valassis represented one-fifth of the company’s net income in 2010 and matched the earnings of the entire newspaper and information division that News America was a part of.

Because consumers (and journalists) don’t much care who owns the coupon machine in the snack aisle, the cases have not received much attention. But that doesn’t mean that they aren’t a useful window into the broader culture at News Corp.

Leading by example News America was led by Paul Carlucci, who, according to Forbes, used to show the sales staff the scene in “The Untouchables” in which Al Capone beats a man to death with a baseball bat. Emmel testified that Carlucci was clear about the guiding corporate philosophy.

According to Emmel’s testimony, Carlucci said that if there were employees uncomfortable with the company’s philosophy — “bed-wetting liberals in particular was the description he used,” Emmel testified — then he could arrange to have those employees “outplaced from the company.”

Clearly, given the size of the payouts, along with the evidence and testimony in the lawsuits, News Corp. must have known it had another rogue on its hands, one who needed to be dealt with.

having 16 more seats, also are less fuel-efficient.

However, she said, regional jets are more popular with passengers, and can increase overall bookings in some markets where people will drive to more distant airports rather than fly a turboprop from the local airport.

Officials at some of the 24 small airports slated to lose Delta service said the airline has not flatly told them when it is stopping the flights, though at subsidized airports Delta said it would withdraw when the current contracts expired.

In some markets, depending on load factors, Delta would like to either receive new Essential Air Service contracts or get more money for the ones it currently has. Slightly more than a third of the airports Delta identified on its list would be in that group, it said.

Pierre, a scrappy city of 14,000 that sits smack in the rural center of South Dakota, got the news that it might lose Delta service just as weary residents were hauling away the last soggy sandbags as they recovered from major flooding of the Missouri River in May. After years of receiving federal air-service subsidies, the airport now has four unsubsidized departures a day — two by the Delta subcontractor Mesaba

After all, Carlucci, who became chairman and chief executive of News America in 1997, had overseen a division that had drawn the scrutiny of government investigators and set off lawsuits that chipped away at the bottom line.

And while Murdoch might reasonably maintain that he did not have knowledge of the culture of permission created

by Hinton and Brooks, by now he has 655 million reasons to know that Carlucci colored outside the lines.

So what became of him? Carlucci, as it happens, became the publisher of The New York Post in 2005 and continues to serve as head of News America, which doesn’t exactly square with Murdoch’s recently stated desire to “absolutely establish

Noble and Books-A-Million, could move into stores vacated

by Borders. Some competing bookstores are already nearby.

A spokeswoman for Barnes & Noble said that 70 percent of Barnes & Noble’s stores are within five miles of an existing Borders store.

Independent bookstores, historically the foes of the big chains, also stand to benefit from the closings of Borders stores.

and two by the regional carrier Great Lakes Airlines.

The city was recently so optimistic about its prospects that it began construction on a $12 million passenger terminal at Pierre Regional Airport.

“We’re rural America,” said Laurie Gill, the mayor. “It’s hard for me to understand a business decision to eliminate commercial air service based on the growth that we’ve seen here.”

Delta flew 4,840 of the total 6,833 passengers who boarded flights at Pierre this year through June, and Delta’s planes left with 47.4 percent of the seats filled on average. If Delta leaves and no other airline comes in, most travelers from the South Dakota capital would have to drive to the closest bigger airport in Rapid City, 140 miles away. Time-constrained corporate and government travelers dislike that idea, Gill said.

Welcome to the tough new world of commercial air travel, said Boyd, who thinks the Essential Air Service program serves a vital need for those communities that are far from an alternate airport with better service.

“It’s not like people are going to get cut off from the world.

You may be able to have your local air service, but maybe it’s an hour’s drive away,” he said.

For example, Muskegon, in western Michigan, has a few daily flights operated by United Airlines, subsidized with $600,000 a year from the Essential Air Service program.

Meanwhile, the Gerald R. Ford International Airport in Grand Rapids, 40 miles away, had 2 million passengers last year, and is served by eight airlines.

The savings from the short drive can be substantial. On Monday, for example, the lowest round-trip fare on a United flight to Kennedy Airport in New York from Muskegon, connecting through Chicago, was listed at $1,149. Drive to Grand Rapids, though, and you could find a flight to Kennedy for as little as $600 on various airlines.

“Muskegon has great air service,” Boyd said. “It’s called Grand Rapids.”

our integrity in the eyes of the public.”

A representative for News Corp. did not respond to a request for comment.

Even as the flames of the scandal begin to edge closer to Murdoch’s door, anybody betting against his business survival will most likely come away disappointed. He has been in deep trouble before and not only survived, but prospered.

News Corp.’s reputation may be underwater, but the company itself is very liquid, with $11.8 billion in cash on hand and more than $2.5 billion of annual free cash flow.

Still, money will fix a lot of things, but not everything.

When you throw money onto a burning fire, it becomes fuel and nothing more.

launches digital rentals of college textbooks

By Nathan Olivarez-Giles Los Angeles Times

LOS ANGELES — College textbooks are getting a bit more affordable.

Amazon.com Inc. on Monday said it launched a program in which college students can rent digital copies of “tens of thousands of textbooks” at a fraction of the cost of buying them.

The online retailer said the rental fees could be as much as 80 percent lower than the purchase price. Students can rent a textbook for as few as 30 days or up to 360 days, with fees based on how long the book is rented, Amazon said.

Rentals can be read on Amazon’s Kindle e-reader, as well as Macs and PCs that have the Kindle app. They can also be read on smartphones and tablet computers running the Apple iOS, Microsoft Windows Phone 7 and Google Android operating systems.

Once the rental period is up for a textbook, students can choose to purchase books or rent them again for a period of as little as one extra day, Amazon said.

Among publishers offering rentals through Amazon are John Wiley & Sons Inc., Elsevier and Taylor & Francis Group Ltd. Amazon said students will be able to take notes and highlight text.

Homebuilder confidence improves but remains low

By Bob Willis Bloomberg News

WASHINGTON — Confidence among homebuilders improved in July from a nine-month low as executives turned less pessimistic on the outlook for sales.

The National Association of Home Builders/Wells Fargo sentiment index climbed to 15 this month, higher than forecast, from 13 in June, data from the Washington-based group showed Monday. The median projection of economists surveyed by Bloomberg News was for a gain to 14.

“Building activity is unlikely to get much worse from here,” said Russell Price, a senior economist at Ameriprise Financial Services Inc. in Detroit. At the same time, “after four years of correction, high unemployment and tight credit conditions, there are still significant impediments,” he said.

Readings lower than 50 in Monday’s homebuilder measure mean more respondents said conditions were poor. Projections among the 36 economists surveyed ranged from 12 to 16.

The gauge, which was first published in January 1985, reached a record low of 8 in January 2009, and averaged 54 in the five years before the recession began in December 2007.

The builders group’s index of sales expectations for the next six months increased to a threemonth high of 22 from 15.

Among the 10 million registered users in Europe, 1.6 million spring for a premium service.

Such monthly subscription services have been around for a decade. But consumers have been reluctant to try them because the technology seemed daunting or the idea seemed too strange.

That’s starting to change as consumers become accustomed to having access to all manner of digital entertainment on their smartphones.

The anticipation has been so great that people are going to want to check it out,” Cohen said. “And when they do, they will finally understand ... that streaming for music works just as well.

By Claire Cain Miller New York Times News Service

The relationship between Twitter and the outside developers that build its apps is a little like the one between sharks and the small fish that latch onto their backs — beneficial for both, until it isn’t.

Lately it has hit rough waters.

The Federal Trade Commission is investigating Twitter’s relationship with the developers, and although neither Twitter nor the agency would comment, two people briefed on the inquiry said that it questioned whether Twitter had been anti-competitive when it bought or regulated some apps.

At the same time, the apps built by third-party developers have become a thriving corner of the tech industry. In the last six months, investors poured $500 million into developers of Twitter apps, while companies, including Wal-Mart and Salesforce .com, collectively paid $1 billion to buy such startups. According to Twitter, 750,000 developers have built one million apps, up from 135,000 developers and 150,000 apps a year ago.

The boom in apps, though, has fueled longstanding tensions between Twitter and the developers over whether they are partners or competitors.

When Twitter was introduced, the service was bare-bones. So the company encouraged developers to build apps for things like posting photos and using Twitter on smartphones.

The apps used Twitter’s technology, often free, and Twitter became successful early on largely because the apps made the service more helpful and easier to use. But Twitter can transform overnight from partner to competitor by building its own apps to do whatever the developers’ apps do, or by simply acquiring a developer’s app, which it has done several times.

An uneasy relationship To try to mend its relationship with developers and encourage them to keep building apps that improve Twitter, the company is inviting them to town hall-like sessions, and last week it unveiled a developer website with a blog and discussion forums.

Twitter’s chief executive, Dick Costolo, has personally called

some app developers to reassure them that Twitter does not intend to tread on their ground.

The argument has sometimes been a tough sell. Just last month Twitter acquired TweetDeck, a desktop application for active users, and added tools to automatically shorten links and post photos. That means Twitter now competes with other apps that do similar things, like Seesmic, Bitly and Twitpic.

Twitter has sparred with one app company in particular, UberMedia. That company, which has received a request for information from the FTC, makes several Twitter apps that were shut down earlier this year because Twitter said they had security problems.

It also tried to buy TweetDeck before Twitter snapped it up.

UberMedia declined to comment for this article.

Ryan Sarver, head of Twitter’s platform, said Twitter did not communicate clearly enough early on about which apps it intended to build and which it hoped developers would build.

Twitter must build consistent apps for its users’ sake, he said.

“In the early days, all the clients except Twitter.com were built out by ecosystem companies, mainly because Twitter was so focused on keeping the lights on,” Sarver said. “But we learned that in order for us to really grow, we had to start taking over that core experience.”

Symbiosis The symbiotic relationship between Twitter and its apps is common in the tech world.

Microsoft, Apple, Google and Facebook grew quickly in part because they let developers use their technologies to build tools.

But the pitfalls are also familiar, because the developers are at the mercy of the bigger company.

When Microsoft built memory managers into Windows, for example, it pushed aside startups that had built similar tools. And analysts have questioned whether Zynga, the online game maker, imperils itself by relying too much on Facebook, where most of its games are played.

Other tech companies have not taken the beating that Twitter has over its relationship with app developers. That is partly because Twitter was unusually

open in sharing its technology from the beginning, which set developers’ expectations high.

Twitter also moved painfully slowly in building its own tools, like mobile apps and link shorteners. Developers jumped in to fill the void, only to feel betrayed when Twitter eventually built those tools itself.

“These applications were what got people into using Twitter,” said T.J. Luoma, who builds Twitter apps in Gallipolis, Ohio.

“Now Twitter can afford to say to third-party developers, ‘We don’t need you anymore,’ but they did need them before.”

Division of apps Twitter wants its own apps for allowing access to the service on phones and computers, Sarver said. Outsiders, he said, should instead focus on apps that help publishers and retailers use Twitter, send photos and posts to Twitter, cull relevant Twitter posts or help businesses analyze posts and use the service.

Wal-Mart acquired one such company, Kosmix, in April for a reported $300 million. Kosmix ran TweetBeat, an app that selected relevant Twitter posts about events like the World Cup. Now called @WalmartLabs, it is building a product that uses its technology to help shoppers make purchase decisions.

Radian6, which Salesforce. com bought for $326 million in May, helps companies like Dell and PepsiCo to monitor what their customers are saying on Twitter and on other social media sites and to direct the posts to the right customer service person.

Klout has raised $10 million from investors including Kleiner Perkins Caufield & Byers. It calculates influence scores for Twitter users and helps brands like Disney and Nike invite the most influential people to try new products and write about them.

“The press is still questioning Twitter’s revenue model and its future, but I have never been more bullish about Twitter,” said Mark Suster, an investor at GRP Partners, which has invested $12.5 million in two Twitter apps.

“I’m betting with my own money and institutional money that this is going to become even more valuable.”

Cisco to eliminate 6,500 jobs

By Brandon Bailey San Jose (Calif.) Mercury News

SAN JOSE, Calif. — Cisco Systems Inc. said Monday that it will eliminate 6,500 jobs as part of a broad overhaul aimed at making the company more efficient and more profitable, after months of disappointing financial results.

The news comes two months after the San Jose tech giant signaled its intention to cut $1 billion in operating expenses through a combination of layoffs and voluntary retirements.

Cisco said that it would lay off 4,400 workers, after an additional 2,100 accepted early retirement offers last month. The combined cuts represent about 9 percent of the company’s global workforce of 73,400.

The company did not say how many of those jobs will be cut at its San Jose offices, where city records indicate about 11,600 workers were employed last year.

Cisco also said it plans to sell a manufacturing plant in

Juarez, Mexico, that employs 5,000 people. The company said it does not expect any jobs will be lost at the plant, where Cisco has made television set-top control boxes for sale to cable and telecommunications service providers.

Chinese electronics manufacturer Foxconn is buying the factory for an undisclosed sum.

Cisco acquired the plant when it bought the set-top box business known as Scientific Atlanta in 2006.

Healthy Paws Continued from B1 Bolam will be learning a new set of dogs and owners — and providing a safe place for lost pets — when he moves to a new location on Newport Avenue where Bambini of Bend was located before it closed. He plans to move in the next month as he expands his business to become a key dealer for Bend-based Ruff Wear, which makes outdoor gear and other products for dogs.

The connection with Ruff Wear started because the company’s founder, Patrick Kruse, buys food for his dogs at Healthy Paws, Bolam said. “It was a merger of ideas. We were thinking along the same lines,” he said.

Bolam said no store in Bend was carrying the entire line of Ruff Wear products despite the fact that Bend is the company’s hometown. Its products range from dog boots (both summer and winter styles) to more traditional leashes, beds and toys. A variety of Ruff Wear’s products are available at Bend Pet Express, REI, Sebastian’s Healthy Pet Food & Supply in Sunriver, and a few other locations in the area.

But Bolam wanted to do an even better job of catering to his four-legged customers. “We’ll carry every color and size of their boots,” he said, noting that many mixed-breed dogs don’t have the same size paws front and back. So he’ll measure their

Small cars Continued from B1 “Values for these vehicles just rose too quickly and got to a level that was really unsustainable,” says Alec Gutierrez, manager of vehicle valuation for the Kelley Blue Book car pricing service.

Here are factors pushing down small-car prices: • Small-car surplus: Carmakers such as Honda and Toyota are boosting production following Japan’s March 11 earthquake and tsunami. The disaster essentially shut down that nation’s auto industry and slowed Japanesebrand factories in North America. With factories returning to

paws and fit them appropriately.

He’ll have enough inventory that customers won’t have to wait for their orders. He declined to go into the full financial details of the partnership, but it will include a more favorable payment schedule for inventory than other retailers receive. “It’s a new thing for them in this town, for sure,” he said. “It’s great to have a place like this in town for them so locals and people from out of town can see everything they make.

Such attention to detail for dogs — and the market for such a focus — is in line with national trends. Consumer insights firm Packaged Facts estimates that sales of pet products and services will hit $58 billion this year.

The firm notes in its pet market outlook report that the industry is expected to “regain traction,” according to a summary of the report, after being hurt by the economic downturn.

Bolam opened his shop in the mid-2000s, when Bend was booming. He and his wife, Michelle, had relocated to Bend from Sparks, Nev., near Reno.

“The demographics were great here,” he said. “Bend is huge into dogs, with people often owning more than one. It seemed like the natural place to open.”

But even with Bend’s love affair with four-legged creatures, Bolam has been affected by the economic recession, which forced even devoted pet owners to pull back on their spending. “It was hard for people,” he said. “Everyone’s lifestyle has

changed. Now they think, ‘Can I afford that?’ They don’t buy as many toys or treats, but they still want to buy the best food they can.”

Bolam responded by offering lower-price-point products, but without scrimping on health and quality. “I didn’t want to cross the line where I start compromising what I want to sell because times are tough,” he said. He also has learned a few other ways of keeping his business going and his spirits up through the downturn.

Here are some of his thoughts on doing business in Bend.

normal, American dealers will have more Civics, Corollas and Priuses. And they won’t have to put small-car buyers on waiting lists, like they did this spring.

In fact, some will have more small cars than they need says George Davis, general manager of a Honda dealership in Ann Arbor, Mich.

“One minute they’re going to look out the window and see 50 cars. Two weeks later they’ll see 300. Panic sets in,” he says.

“They pay interest on these cars and they’ll have to discount.”

• Deals: Honda and Toyota dealers will increase rebates, low-interest financing and other promotions, Gutierrez predicts.

“GM and Ford will be right be-

hind them, and Hyundai as well,” he says.

Automakers say they won’t cut prices even if Toyota and Honda come out with bigger incentives.

Instead, they want to sell cars on quality, styling and features.

Dealers and analysts are skeptical, though, saying that once Honda and Toyota restock, prices will fall as rivals try to win customers who have to replace their clunkers. The average age of a car in the U.S. is now 10.6 years, up more than a full year from 2008, according to the Polk research firm.

• Lower gas prices: Gas prices are down 31 cents from their peak of $3.98 a gallon in May, and although small-car demand

Q: A:

Have you changed your mix of products because of the recession?

I do look for lower price points. But I won’t just bring in what sells because it’s cheap. I don’t want to sell something that’s not healthy for the pet even if it’s USDA approved. It doesn’t mean it’s healthy.

Q: A:

Did you ever think of closing shop during the tough times?

It’s never been easy. It’s definitely been tough, especially in the last couple of years. We had a flood in this building several Christmases ago that made things really tough. That definitely slowed things down in this neighborhood. Then Riley’s (a small food market) closed down and that had big impact. People would go there with their children, and then get a snack for their dog.

So there isn’t that interaction on

the street. Once people stop going somewhere it’s pretty easy to forget a place.

Q: A:

What is most fun about owning this business?

It’s the interaction with my customers. Many of my customers are pretty good friends. It’s not just ‘here’s a packet and they go. People stand and talk for a while. I love that aspect. It makes the community feel like a community. You aren’t going to a store, paying with credit card and walking out. I love when they bring their pets in and I get to know the dogs in the neighborhood.

Q:

Has there been a turning point in your business when you knew that this was going to work?

You know in business that nothing is ever 100 percent sure. When you work for someone else, you don’t look at that aspect. So it’s definitely different than working for the big man, when you work for yourself. You have all the headaches that go with that. But I tend to not dwell on it too much because that takes the fun out of it. I can’t have my customers come in and see that I’m miserable because I’m having a tough month. It’s a different feeling. You have the headaches of owning your own business.

But you own that headache. It’s not being given to you.

is still strong, buyers have started to shift to larger vehicles. Compact and subcompact sales fell to just under 195,000 last month, down from 238,000 in March, according to Autodata Corp.

There’s now a shortage of cars at Pacific Honda near San Diego.

But there will be a surplus after July and buyers will see deals, says Wayne Meyer, president of the chain that owns the dealership. Pacific Honda has about 38 vehicles in stock instead of the usual 350.

“There’s going to be so much car availability,” Meyer says.

Automakers “are going to be defending market share they gained or regaining market share they lost.”

Continued from B1 The result: huge trade and current-account surpluses. China has accumulated more than $3 trillion in foreign currency reserves, far more than any other nation.

Most of those reserves are held in dollars, and recycled back to the United States through investments in Treasury bonds and other dollardenominated securities — even stocks. And while some of China’s foreign exchange reserves are plowed into European and Japanese debt, those bond markets are not big or liquid enough to absorb the bulk of China’s ever-larger foreign holdings.

Beijing has tried to diversify its foreign exchange portfolio by creating a sovereign wealth fund that can invest some of the reserves overseas. The government has also encouraged Chinese companies to expand overseas and to acquire mines and natural resources to fuel China’s hungry economy. But because China has too much foreign money for any other outlet to absorb, the vast majority of its fast-growing reserves continue to be destined for the U.S. bond market.

“China has no choice but to keep buying,” said Zhang Ming, an expert at the Chinese Academy of Social Sciences, a Beijing research group. “After all, U.S. Treasury bonds are still the largest and most liquid investment product in the world.”

All of which has helped enable America’s own fiscally dubious habits.

The United States’ huge deficits — not only in government spending, but in trade and savings as well — have weakened its economy and strangled consumption. Many economists say that would poison the longterm prospects for the dollar, if it were not still the world’s reserve currency and most reliable safe haven.

Helping maintain that role for the dollar are the staggering debt problems that Europe and

Japan are struggling with. With global investors like China having few good options besides U.S. Treasurys, Washington, despite its current debt-ceiling debate, can continue to hold down interest rates and wallow in cheap borrowing.

Beijing in recent years has frequently fretted aloud about Washington’s monetary policies. In 2009, shortly after the global financial crisis broke out, China’s prime minister, Wen Jiabao, said his country was “worried” about the safety of its huge cache of U.S. Treasury holdings. But even now, despite Beijing’s scolding about the debt impasse in Washington, China’s options may be limited.

“There’s really nothing different they can do,” said Eswar Prasad, a Cornell economics professor and former head of the China division at the International Monetary Fund. “Even if China felt the United States was going off a cliff, there’s no other place for them to put their money.”

Over the long run, many economists say the structural imbalances on both sides of the Chinese-U.S. debt symbiosis could be disastrous. Already, for example, many say that those dynamics helped create the global financial crisis by artificially creating the low interest rates that let housing prices reach bubble-bursting levels.

Now, the United States and China are trying in their different ways to adjust. U.S. policymakers are urging more savings and less consumption.

Chinese officials take the opposite tack, promising to encourage more consumption and less saving.

But neither country has made significant headway on these strategies during the last two years. Both sides see these fixes as too costly and detrimental to nearer-term economic goals.

America is focused on reviving its economy, while China is intent on cooling its down. And in both countries, achieving the goals involves changing public behavior, which is never easy.

More companies look to invest than hire, survey shows

By Jillian Berman Bloomberg News

WASHINGTON — More companies hold an optimistic outlook toward investing in new equipment than hiring, a survey showed, another sign the labor market will struggle to improve.

Fifty-four percent of companies said they will boost capital spending over the next 12 months, compared with 43 percent that plan to increase payrolls by the end of the year, according a results of a poll taken last month by the National Association for Business Economics issued Monday. Respondents also scaled back forecasts for economic growth as sales and profits cooled. “The economic landscape is weakening and the recovery is softening� Shawn DuBravac, chief economist for the Consumer Electronics Association in Arlington, Va., who analyzed the report, said in a statement. “Sales growth remains posi-

tive for the majority of firms responding,� he said, “but that majority is now smaller than it was last quarter.�

Monday’s report combined with slowing payroll gains shows employment will be slow to recover the 8.75 million jobs lost as a result of the recession, raising the risk that household purchases will weaken further.

A report last week showed retail sales stagnated last month.

The index of the outlook for investment in new equipment and software over the next year, which reflects the difference between those planning increases and decreases, climbed to 50, seven points higher than in the last survey issued in April. The measure of capital spending projects already initiated last quarter rose to 36, the highest level in more than five years.

The employment index for last quarter dropped compared with the group’s April survey as more companies said they dismissed workers.

Racers compete in the McKenzie Pass Road Race stage of last year’s Cascade Cycling Classic.

Cyclists roll into Central Oregon Some 300 pro riders are set to compete in this year’s Cascade Cycling Classic

By Mark Morical The Bulletin

While the stages remain mostly unchanged for the 2011 Bend Memorial Clinic Cascade Cycling Classic, the field will be decidedly different from last year’s race.

A rule now enforced by the International Cycling Union (UCI) prohibits Pro Continental teams from entering races not sanctioned by the UCI. The Cascade Classic is sanctioned by USA Cycling.

That means teams like UnitedHealthcare and Team Type 1, which have dominated the CCC in the past, will not be racing in Central Oregon this week. (Australia’s Rory Sutherland, of UnitedHealthcare, won the Cascade last year.)

Those two teams earlier this year received Pro Continental status, meaning they are eligible to race in UCI ProTour events such as the Tour de France.

“We were a little worried about the qual-

ity of the field, but it will still be a great race,” says CCC race director Brad Ross.

“We have as strong of a field as we’ve had in the past. But it’s a little bit watered down.”

About 200 cyclists round out the pro men’s field for the 32nd annual Cascade. The favorite is most likely Francisco Mancebo, a Spanish rider who races for Realcyclist. com. He finished second overall to former teammate Oscar Sevilla in the 2009 CCC. Mancebo currently leads the National

Racing Calendar (NRC) individual standings. He has won four overall stage-race titles in 2011: the Sea Otter Classic, the Redlands Classic, the Tour of the Gila and the Tour de Beauce.

A former standout on the ProTour, Mancebo finished sixth in the 2004 Tour de France and fourth in the 2005 Tour. He was linked to the Operation Puerto doping case in 2006 — a scandal that involved several of the world’s most famous cyclists at the time — and he was not allowed to start the 2006 Tour de France.

Breaking down the stage: This hilly circuit starts and finishes at Summit High School in west Bend and takes riders on a 17-mile loop on and around Awbrey Butte.

Spending time on the McKenzie Pass is always a treat.

But add to that 5-foot-high snowbanks and some of the country’s fastest cyclists, and the pass becomes truly stunning.

The first stage of the 2011 Bend Memorial Clinic Cascade Cycling Classic will take cyclists up and over McKenzie Pass (state Highway 242) before finishing at Three Creek Sno-park south of Sisters.

Those who find themselves free on a Wednesday can watch from atop the pass at Dee Wright Observatory as the cyclists cruise past. The pro men are expected to summit the pass at about noon, followed by the women at about 12:20 p.m.

“If you want to pack a picnic lunch, a place that is super cool is McKenzie, especially with all the snow — it’ll be spectacular this year,” says Brad Ross, race director for the 2011 CCC. The pass, buried by 30foot drifts of snow during the spring, opened to vehicles just this past weekend.

“When the race comes we’ll force (cars) off to the side of the road,” Ross says. “But there’s no problem with driving up there and parking. The road will be open (to vehicles) on the day of the race.”

The men’s and women’s fields will ascend McKenzie Pass from the west side, winding their way up the 20-mile climb to Dee Wright Observatory. From there, the cyclists make a hair-raising descent into the town of Sisters before the final 10-mile climb to Three Creek Snopark.

But before the first stage, the 2011 Classic officially begins this evening with the Old Mill Prologue (short time trial) in Bend. Elite women start at 6 o’clock, followed by the pro/elite men. Individual riders will take off from the start line near the Deschutes Brewery warehouse in 30-second intervals and will cover an outand-back route of 2 miles that includes Shevlin Hixon Drive.

The Old Mill District prologue includes a variety of vantage points along the route, including a beer garden on the Deschutes Brewery lawn at the start/finish area.

“You’ll be able to hang out right there and watch the riders going out,” Ross says.

“They go out, and 3½ minutes later, they’ll come back.”

Shevlin Hixon Drive will be closed to motor vehicle traffic during the prologue.

Friday’s Cascade Lakes Road Race route is open to cars, so finding a spot on the course from which to cheer the pelotons should be easy.

Areas where the racers are traveling the slowest — for instance, from Sparks Lake to Dutchman Flat on Cascade Lakes Highway — are typically good vantages for watching the race unfold.

During Sunday’s Awbrey Butte Circuit Race, the final stage of the CCC, spectators can watch cyclists struggle up the steep pitch on Archie Briggs Road several times. It is on these potentially decisive sections of the race that riders need the most encouragement.

“It has decided the race in the past,” Ross says of the Sunday circuit race.

The criterium on Saturday night in downtown Bend will draw the biggest crowds of the week. On display will be a fan-friendly spectacle of high speeds, technical cornering and team gamesmanship played out over the course of the 50- and 75-minute races.

For a front-row seat on the race course, plan to arrive early. By the time the men’s race begins at 7 p.m., crowds of eager spectators can bulge to three and four deep along the crit route.

NBA Timberwolves interviewing former Blazer Terry Porter MINNEAPOLIS — The Minnesota Timberwolves have interviewed Terry Porter for their head coaching vacancy.

A person with knowledge of the interview told The Associated Press that Porter interviewed on Monday. The person requested anonymity because the team was not commenting publicly on the search process.

Porter has been a head coach twice before, in Milwaukee and Phoenix. He lasted just over half a season with the Suns in the 2008-09 season before being replaced

by Alvin Gentry.

Porter spent three of his 17 NBA seasons playing in Minnesota. His background as a point guard could be attractive to the Timberwolves, who are looking for someone who can help Spanish import Ricky Rubio make the transition to the NBA. The interview was first reported by the Star Tribune of Minneapolis.

Fans cheer at Sidelines Sports Bar & Grill in downtown Bend as the United States women’s national soccer team scores its first goal against Japan during Sunday’s Women’s World Cup final.

World Cup reflections I

walked into Sidelines Sports Bar & Grill in downtown Bend about 40 minutes before kickoff on Sunday morning.

Already, the main level was packed with a few dozen stoked soccer fans. More of them would soon make their way to the seating upstairs. Across the country, similar scenes were playing out in sports bars and other gathering places.

It was exactly what I’d hoped for.

I had the good fortune of watching at least part of three of the United States’ matches in the Women’s World Cup on the big screen television at Sidelines, which also gave me the chance — at least on the local level — to witness firsthand the team’s surge into the country’s collective consciousness.

When the U.S. women opened the tournament against North Korea on June 28, my mom was in town visit-

AMANDA MILES ing. We caught most of the second half at Sidelines, popping in just after Lauren Cheney’s opening strike and cheering when Rachel Buehler sliced a shot past multiple North Korean opponents for the insurance goal in a 2-0 win.

My mom — who is an enthusiastic sports fan, with soccer being one of her favorites — clapped and cheered along with me.

I think we were the only ones to do so. Hardly anyone was in the establishment at that point — midmorning on a Tuesday — but no one else who was there seemed to be paying much attention.

Soccer fans in Bend turn out in force to cheer on Americans in tournament’s final match

That did not surprise me. Soccer has been slowly clawing (or maybe it would be more accurate to say kicking) its way into the mainstream American sports register for decades now.

Today, it is a sport loved by millions across the country. But many others still view it with contempt and distaste. They seem unwilling to try to understand the nuances and complexities that make soccer the beautiful game.

Given that lingering sentiment and the fact that it was the women’s national team playing, I had almost expected a low turnout. Women and girls playing sports is nothing new these days. But that does not mean that many individuals, especially men, care a great deal about watching them play sports.

But then, 12 days after the opener, the magic of USA-Brazil happened.

See Cup / C6

Starting this fall, coaches at Prineville’s Crook County High School may have a little extra time to actually coach.

The Crook County School District school board voted 3-2 last week to give Crook County High School and Crook County Middle School an additional $75,000 for athletics for the 2011-12 school year, raising the district’s budget for athletic funding to $150,000.

After several years of extreme budgeting, the CCSD found itself with a small surplus for the upcoming school year.

“What we hope this does more than anything else is reduce the need for parents and coaches to fundraise every single weekend and all during the summer,” said Scott Polen, Crook County High School athletic director. “Hopefully (the school district) will be able to offer coaches some sort of compensation for what they do.”

Since spring 2009, Crook County athletics have survived mostly through various fundraising efforts. Sports teams have collected returnable bottles and cans, painted fire hydrants, and cut and delivered firewood — all to help keep their programs afloat.

“Coaches have had to sacrifice some camp time or training time or getting-kids-in-the-weightroom time for fundraising,” Polen said. “(Fundraising) takes away from the team overall, if not directly. … The football team would be out cutting wood Saturday mornings instead of looking at game film.”

The district provided $75,000 for athletics in each of the past two school years, but according to Polen, that barely covered transportation costs and Oregon School Activities Association fees.

Money for everything else — officials, equipment, coaches’ salaries — came through fundraising.

Mariners’ offense on pace to be among the worst

In the Alps, climbing into Tour history

By Greg Bishop New York Times News Service

San Francisco Giants starting pitcher Ryan Vogelsong throws against the Los Angeles Dodgers during the first inning of Monday’s game in San Francisco.

INDEX Scoreboard ............................... C4 Major League Baseball ..............C5 Community sports.....................C6

SEATTLE — For weeks, manager Eric Wedge’s daily briefing has turned into a psychological examination of why the Seattle Mariners offense is so bad.

Their start to the second half of the season didn’t end that conversation as the Mariners scored two runs in four games while being swept by Texas, dropped nine straight and falling to 11½ games back in the AL West.

The brief optimism of a month ago when Seattle was just half a game out in the division race has been replaced by reality — a rebuilding season.

If the Mariners don’t improve soon, they could turn out to be one of the worst offensive teams since the designated hitter was added to the American League in 1973.

After being swept by the Rangers, Seattle is hitting just .221 as a team, eight points lower than anyone else in baseball and 15 points worse than any other team in the AL. Only five members of Seattle’s current roster are hitting above .240, none higher than rookie Greg Halman and his .279 average — albeit in just 68 plate appearances.

Even the normally consistent Ichiro Suzuki is slumping through the worst year of his career. Suzuki ended Sunday hitting just .262, an astounding 65 points below his career average of .327. His streak of 200 hits in every season since arriving in the majors in 2001 is at risk, with just 102 hits through 94 games.

Ted S. Warren / The Associated Press

Seattle Mariners’ Ichiro Suzuki fouls a ball off his foot in the ninth inning of a baseball game against the Texas Rangers, Sunday in Seattle. The Rangers beat the Mariners 3-1.

Before Peter Thomson ran bicycle tours in the Alps, he watched the Tour de France on a small television as a teenage cyclist in rural Scotland.

As professionals attacked the famous climbs, in the shadow of snowy peaks, through glaciers and meadows, Thomson sat transfixed.

When later he competed in the Alps for the first time, he fell behind the peloton. So this week, as the Tour celebrates its 100th anniversary in the Alps, Thomson’s experiences illustrate what those mountains often mean to cyclists: part poetry, part pain.

“I’m sure those incredible images that captivated me have had the same effect on millions of cyclists throughout the past 100 years,” Thomson wrote in an e-mail.

To commemorate the anniversary, officials scheduled this week of the Tour de France in the Alps, and filled it with four mountaintop finishes, including the highest finish, in elevation, in Tour history. The entire race features 23 “level two,” “level one” or “highest level” mountain passes or summits. The cyclists will encounter 10 of those in the Alps; a fitting — and steep — tribute.

If this race is not won in the Alps, as expected, it will most certainly be lost there.

The part of the Alps the race will cover, near the border with Italy, made its grand Tour de France entrance in 1911.

S B Baseball • Tests show no new heart issues for Nolan Ryan: Test on Texas Rangers President Nolan Ryan show no new heart problems for the Hall of Famer pitcher, who is hospitalized in Houston. The Rangers said in a statement Monday the 64-year-old Ryan “continues to improve” after undergoing a series of precautionary tests.

He is expected to be released from the hospital in a day or two.

• Hardy signs 3-year extension with Orioles: J.J. Hardy had absolutely no desire to leave Baltimore. The Orioles were intent upon keeping the talented shortstop, who has contributed heavily at the plate, in the field and in the clubhouse. That made it easy for both sides to come to an agreement on a new contract that guarantees him $22.25 million over three additional seasons through 2014.

Football • Club execs to be briefed Thursday if NFL deal OK’d: The NFL told club executives they could be schooled in the ins and outs of the new labor contract as early as Thursday, and the players’ association summoned its leadership for a potential vote — the strongest signs yet the lockout might be nearing an end. Lawyers for both sides met 8½ hours Monday in New York, including 3½ with a court-appointed mediator, to try to close a deal to resolve the sport’s first work stoppage since 1987. Talks were scheduled to continue today. “Making progress,” said NFL Players Association outside counsel Jeffrey Kessler, who also represents locked-out NBA players.

• USC’s Tyler suspended after comments to TMZ: Southern California tailback Marc Tyler has been suspended from all team activities and the Trojans’ season opener for comments he made to TMZ that implied he gets paid to play for USC. When asked by TMZ whether he could make more money at USC or in the NFL, Tyler said, “USC, they breaking bread,” making a gesture indicating a large stack of money. USC coach Lane Kiffin suspended his leading rusher Monday for the Sept. 3 opener against Minnesota and possibly longer. The fifthyear senior is facing potential discipline from the school after what he said were two alcohol-related problems in April.

• Ex-Toledo Rocket pleads guilty in bribery probe: A former University of Toledo running back pleaded guilty Monday to working with a Detroit gambler accused of placing bets on football and basketball games, the third ex-Rocket to be convicted in a point-shaving probe. Harvey “Scooter” McDougle Jr., of Cleveland, said he accepted more than $5,000 from Ghazi “Gary” Manni in exchange for information about the Rockets in 2004-05. McDougle pleaded guilty to conspiracy to influence sports through bribery.

Soccer • Women’s World Cup final watched by 13.5 million: The Women’s World Cup final has earned the highest television rating for any soccer game on an ESPN network. Japan’s comeback to beat the United States in a penalty shootout Sunday drew a 7.4 national rating.

The previous high was a 4.0 for last year’s U.S.-Algeria men’s World Cup match. With an average of almost 13.5 million viewers, it was the sixth most watched soccer telecast ever in the United States. The record is still held by the 1999 Women’s World Cup final, which had an 11.4 rating.

• Fans give “Nadeshiko Japan” a hero’s welcome: Thousands of joyous, flag-waving fans greeted the Japan women’s football team in Narita, Japan, as the players arrived home today after beating the United States in the World Cup final. Two fire trucks shot out celebratory arches of water over the team’s aircraft as it approached the terminal at Tokyo’s Narita Airport. Throngs of fans wearing the team’s dark blue colors greeted the players as they made their way into the terminal. A nation reeling from months of tragedy has been united in joyous celebration after a team nicknamed “Nadeshiko” — for a pink mountain flower — became the first from Asia to win the biggest prize in women’s football.

Olympics • Minister says resignations won’t affect Olympics plans: Britain’s Olympics minister says the resignations of London’s top two police officers won’t affect security planning for the 2012 Games. Scotland Yard chief Paul Stephenson and Assistant Commissioner John Yates have resigned amid an intensifying scandal involving phone hacking and alleged police bribery. Both indicated they quit to ensure the organization had stable leadership in the run-up to the Olympics, which has a $1.2 billion security budget.

Alps Continued from C3 According to reports, 84 cyclists started that race but only 28 finished. Emile Georget, the French cyclist who won the first stage in the Alps, came in third.

The climb introduced in 1911, the Col du Galibier, will be ascended twice in this year’s Tour, at Stage 18 and Stage 19. The first ascent will mark the highest elevation ever for a stage finish, at roughly 8,700 feet. The second will mark the return to perhaps cycling’s most famous climb, the return to Alpe d’Huez.

The retired cyclist Andy Hampsten runs bicycle tours in Italy, sells bicycles in Seattle, and still bicycles all over the world. But his signature cycling moment, the one strangers ask about almost 20 years later, is marked by a sign in the French Alps.

The sign rests at one of the infamous Alpe d’Huez switchbacks, the 21 hairpin turns that define the signature stage of the Tour de France.

There, cycling fans clog the road, paint the names of cyclists on the pavement, and sprint alongside the bicycles, uphill, so close to the riders, they can — and do — touch them. Those fans come to worship at the temple of professional cycling, and amid the carnival atmosphere created by the race.

Over the years, Alpe d’Huez was jokingly labeled the highest point in Holland because so many Dutch cyclists had won the stages that finished there. Those winners, like Hampsten, who captured that stage in 1992, are immortalized with signs.

“The Alpe d’Huez looks like it was designed by Heidi’s grandfather,” said Paul Rogen, Thomson’s business partner. “There are cows with bells and wonderful meadows and grass on the rooftops.

The bicycle is the perfect way to get there, to smell it and feel it. You keep climbing and climbing, and there are all these crowds. It’s like 200,000 people having a picnic.”

Last year the Tour celebrated its centennial in the Pyrenees, the other series of mountains the riders climb each July, including throughout last week. For Paul Sherwen, the retired cyclist and Versus commentator, the Pyrenees feature smaller, rougher roads in less developed towns. The Alps normally ride faster, because of the smoother surface, Sherwen said, and boast more stunning, wide-open views.

Sherwen learned about the Alps the hard way.

In one Tour de France, in the late 1970s, Sherwen said he and the other cyclists went up the Alpe d’Huez twice in two days. On the next day, a rest day, the manager of his team took the riders to the bottom and instructed them to climb it again.

“I’ve always found the Alps much more dramatic than the Pyrenees,” Sherwen said. “Especially the climbs. They’re iconic.”

Asked to describe his favorite climbs in the Alps,

Thomson detailed the Col de la Bonette (most spectacular climb), the Col d’Izoard (landscapes that change from desert-like to pine forests), the Cormet de Roseland (stunning views) and the Galibier (because, well, it’s the Galibier).

Such climbs, Sherwen said, favor cyclists who weigh 55 to 65 kilograms (roughly 121 to 143 pounds). The best climbers in Tour history — from Eddy Merckx to the late Marco Pantani to Greg LeMond to, now, Alberto Contador and Andy Schleck — only sometimes fit that range.

But one expert climber, more than any other, brought cyclists, especially U.S. cyclists who had survived cancer or knew someone who suffered from it, into the Alps. His name, of course, is Lance Armstrong.

Thomson took Texans into the Alps to follow Armstrong. He took postal workers, too. Once, he tended an overcrowded bar while Sheryl Crow, then Armstrong’s girlfriend, watched with the huddled masses on a 13-inch television.

Another time, Thomson, while alone, spotted Armstrong riding by, but Thomson fumbled with his camera. He swore loudly in French, but 10 seconds later, Armstrong tapped him on the shoulder, asking if he wanted to take a picture. Of course.

“This is like a trip to Mecca for cyclists,” Rogen said. “A lot of cyclists are lonely. They’re the only rider in their town. You come here, and you’re surrounded by tens of thousands just like you.

And you think, these are my people. This is my religion.”

This year the Tour de France, as usual, is expected to be decided in the mountains. Last year Schleck and Contador chased each other up the Pyrenees until Schleck’s bike chain came off and Contador pushed ahead, a move that prompted Schleck to say, “My stomach is full of anger.” This year, with his fellow cyclist brother, Frank, healthy, and with Contador behind, Schleck stands among the favorites.

“I’m not revealing any great secret by saying that the Tour will be won in the Alps this year, and for me, the rider wearing yellow on top of Galibier at Stage 18 will be the winner in Paris,” Andy Schleck told reporters before the Tour.

Loren Siekman founded Discover France Adventures, and as one of four licensed VIP Tour de France operators, he takes everyday cyclists up the same route the professionals will traverse later. The centennial did not increase his business, he said, but Siekman said the Alps always provide a draw. His groups start in the morning and head uphill, often including riders twice as old as the professionals and half as fast.

But they go for the same reasons. “Every day, you have hundreds, if not thousands, of cyclists,” Siekman said. “Everybody wants to ride in the Alps. It’s a rite of passage.”

Or ride of passage, as the case may be. As the cyclists head up the Alps as they have over the last century in the Tour de France, those who do not know will find out soon enough.

FISH COUNT

Money Continued from C3 “You look at someone like (volleyball coach) Rosie Honl, she has been state coach of the year six times and she’s fundraising for her salary,” said Crook County school board member Doug Smith, who cast one of the three yes votes. “That’s not right. You hire someone to be an excellent coach and teach students about leadership and how to dedicate themselves to the job at hand. … (Constant fundraising) is just too much to ask of a coach on an ongoing basis.”

While the extra $75,000 will not completely eliminate the need for fundraising, it should help the district pay for coaches’ salaries for the first time since the 200809 winter athletic season.

“It’ll be nice to be able to pay coaches and let them know they’re going to get this certain amount,” said Crook County high school track coach Ernie Brooks, who also is an assistant football coach at the high school. “The past couple of years we’ve had to ask people, ‘OK, how much do you need to be able to coach.’ ” Polen was especially excited that the district would have more control over its athletic programs in the upcoming school year.

“Money manages,” Polen said. “If you’re not paying coaches anything, it can get kind of helter-skelter. It took some real creative management techniques and policies (the last few years) to get people to do things.”

The additional $75,000 is not guaranteed beyond the upcoming academic year.

“Our total budget for sports used to be around $540,000,” Smith said. “The new plan is to have it around $360,000. The district contributes $150,000, with the rest coming from pay-to-play fees, gate receipts and fundraising.”

Athletes at Crook County High School pay $150 per sport, while students at Crook County Middle School pay $75 per sport. Pay-to-play fees are the same for each sport, and the total fees paid per student or family is not capped. If an athlete cannot afford the pay-to-play fees, Smith said, the Crook County Booster Club has developed a program through which athletes perform community service in exchange for a scholarship.

“It’s worked really well for us,” said Smith, who is also co-president of the booster club. “There’s no reason any student-athlete can’t participate in athletics.”

Robinson Cano, Mark Teixeira, Brett Gardner and Eduardo Nunez also drove in runs for the second-place Yankees, who rallied from a 4-1 deficit to remain 1½ games behind Boston in the AL East.

• Indians 5-6, Twins 2-3: MINNEAPOLIS — Lou Marson hit a tiebreaking solo homer in the seventh inning and Cleveland completed a doubleheader sweep with a victory over Minnesota, kicking off a four-game series with two wins. Marson doubled and scored in the fifth against Scott Diamond, who was making his major league debut for Minnesota.

Travis Hafner had two hits and two RBIs in the second game, and Michael Brantley finished with five hits.

• White Sox 5, Royals 2: KANSAS CITY, Mo. — Mark Buerhle lasted seven innings in another impressive start, and Chicago capitalized on an error by Kansas City shortstop Alcides Escobar.

Buehrle (7-5) hasn’t allowed more than three earned runs in his last 14 starts dating to April 22. The veteran left-hander allowed five hits while winning for the first time since June 9. Buehrle struck out three and walked one.

• Giants 5, Dodgers 0: SAN FRANCISCO — Ryan Vogelsong pitched into the seventh inning and combined with two relievers on a seven-hitter, leading San Francisco to a victory over the Los Angeles Dodgers. Pablo Sandoval homered for NL West-leading San Francisco, which has won eight of 10. Nate Schierholtz added two hits and an RBI, continuing his torrid pace set after manager Bruce Bochy moved him into the cleanup spot last week.

• Cubs 6, Phillies 1: CHICAGO — Aramis Ramirez and Carlos Pena homered to back a dominant start

by Rodrigo Lopez, and Chicago beat Philadelphia as Phillies ace Roy Halladay left the game because of the heat. Halladay doubled over and was visited by a trainer after Starlin Castro led off the fifth inning with a single. Drew Carpenter came in to replace him.

• Nationals 5, Astros 2: HOUSTON — Michael Morse and Ryan Zimmerman homered and Zimmerman drove in the go-ahead run in the ninth inning for Washington. Laynce Nix added two insurance runs with an RBI single after Zimmerman’s hit in the ninth off Houston starter Jordan Lyles (0-5).

• Marlins 4, Mets 1: NEW YORK — Clay Hensley came off the disabled list to win his first major league start in three years for Florida. Mike Stanton hit a two-run double and slumping Mike Cameron followed with an RBI single for the Marlins, who have won nine of 10.

• Braves 7, Rockies 4: DENVER — Atlanta’s Freddie Freeman homered and drove in three runs and Derek Lowe handcuffed Colorado over 6 1⁄3 innings. Lowe’s grounder to third in the second inning resulted in a two-run error on first baseman Todd Helton, who lost the throw in the setting sun, and ignited the Braves’ fifth win in five tries over the Rockies this month.

• Pirates 2, Reds 0: PITTSBURGH — Charlie Morton pitched five innings and Pittsburgh moved into first place in the NL Central. Pittsburgh kicked off an important two-week stretch by shutting down the Reds after Morton (8-5) extricated himself from a bases-loaded jam in the first inning following a lengthy rain delay to win for the first time since June 15.

• Diamondbacks 3, Brewers 0: PHOENIX — Arizona’s Josh Collmenter pitched eight innings of three-hit ball for his first win in six weeks. The right-hander retired 21 of his last 22 batters in the longest outing of his rookie season. Yuniesky Betancourt reached on a bunt single leading off the sixth for Milwaukee’s only hit during the stretch.

Mariners simply aren’t getting on base, and at a record pace. They are the only team in the American League with an on-base percentage below .300 at just .286 nearly 100 games into the season.

Last season, the Mariners became the first AL team since the addition of the designated hitter with an on-base percentage below .300 when they finished at .298. The only other AL teams to come in below .300 were the 1981 Toronto Blue Jays and 1981 Minnesota Twins and both came in a strike-shortened season.

Additionally, the Mariners are on pace for just 94 home runs, which would be fewest in a full season and is severely

bringing down the Mariners OPS — onbase plus slugging percentage. Seattle currently stands at .611, headed toward the worst total in baseball in nearly four decades since the 1972 Texas Rangers had an OPS of .581.

It’s all adding up to an anemic offense.

Wedge has regularly expressed his disappointment with his veterans being unable or unwilling to change their approach at the plate and correct what he views as problems. He said Sunday that with some of Seattle’s young prospects, the struggles are part of playing young kids at the major league level.

He has less tolerance for veterans still struggling.

With younger kids, that’s one thing, but with veterans there shouldn’t be any excuses. You should be going up there with a plan and sticking with your plan to at least give yourself a chance to have success.”

ing rotation all has minuscule ERAs, with Jason Vargas at 3.68 being the high mark.

Wedge has endured this before while leading the Indians rebuilding project.

“I know it’s going to get better. Anytime you went through it before it helps you the next time you go through it,” Wedge said. “The first time I went through this it was more drastic in so many different ways. I think the one thing you have to realize is we’re not playing bad baseball, we’re just not hitting at all.

“This will make them tougher,” Wedge continued, “and they’ve got to get tougher.”

Cup Continued from C3 I’m telling you, you can watch soccer your entire life and never see a game like that. I don’t know if describing it as “epic� does it full justice. It was the kind of win for the United States that you hope to someday see your favorite squad pull off but almost never do. Unless you are supremely lucky.

But with that gorgeous cross from the left foot of Megan Rapinoe (a University of Portland product, by the way) to Abby Wambach for that thunderous last-gasp header to tie the match, with Hope Solo’s fully extended right paw batting down Daiane’s penalty-kick attempt, with the cool precision of the five U.S. ladies who stepped up to the penalty spot and put the ball away, suddenly the women’s national team had pulled off a miraculous comeback and, with it, caught that rarest of treasures — lightning in a bottle.

In her postgame television interview after the quarterfinal win against Brazil, Wambach touched on themes of American resolve and determination as

Baseball • Little League roundup: Just days after winning its district tournament, the 11U Bend North Little League all-star team dropped all three of its pool-play games at the state tournament, held earlier this month in Portland. The losses eliminated Bend North from the tournament.

Bend North fell 13-6 to Clackamas, 32 to Murrayhill of Beaverton, and 2-0 to Scappoose. Clackamas and Murrayhill went on to eventually play each other in the championship game.

The Bend North Little League organization will be playing host to the state tournament for 12U teams this Saturday through July 30. A team from Bend South Little League is the District 5 representative in that tournament, which will be staged at Sky View Middle School. • Redmond wins Senior Little League state title: Redmond needed only two games to win a best-of-three series versus Clackamas over the weekend and claim the Oregon Little League Senior League (16-and-under) state baseball title. As state champion, Redmond advances to the Senior League West Regional tournament, set for Aug. 2-9 in Ontario, Calif.

Saturday in Gresham, Redmond beat Clackamas 2-1 and 12-0 to secure the state title. In the first game, Chris Hawkins singled home Daniel Thomas in the bottom of the seventh inning for the winning run. Jeremy Erisman tossed a two-hitter for the pitching victory. In the second game, Thomas pitched a five-inning no-hitter for Redmond, which booked 23 hits. Hitting standouts for Redmond included Jeffery Turbitt, who had a pair of two-run triples, and Dakota Schaumburg, who was five of seven for the tournament.

Other members of the Redmond squad are Braedon Price, David Lacock, Sinjin Robinson, Hayden Tolzman, Kyler Christiansen, Austin Ontjes, Jacob Hall and Garrett Samples. The team is managed

by Sid Robinson; Randy Morris and Aaron Price are the coaches.

Flag football • Youth league registration available: Registration is currently being accepted for the Bend Park & Recreation District’s upcoming youth flag football league.

The program is open to boys and girls who will be in grades one through six during the 2011-12 school year.

The season begins Sept. 6 and concludes Nov. 6. Practices will take place twice per week, and games will be played on Sunday afternoons.

Registration fee is $54 for park district residents, $73 otherwise. Prospective participants must be registered by Aug. 5.

Registration is available at www.bendparksandrec.org.

For more information, contact Rich Ekman, park district sports program coordinator, at 541-706-6126.

Inline hockey • Former Bend resident helps USA to gold medal: Playing in goal for six of seven matches for the United States women’s national team, former Bend resident Jetta Rackleff won a gold medal in the Senior Women World Inline Hockey Championships, staged July 3-9 in Roccarasso, Italy.

Rackleff did not play in the only game the U.S. dropped during the tournament — a 4-2 defeat to Canada in the fourth and final game of group play. Rackleff returned in the quarterfinals, helping the Americans to a 3-2 win against the Czech Republic.

After a 6-0 win against Spain in the semifinals, the U.S. again faced Canada. This time, with Rackleff in goal, the Americans captured the championship with a 3-2 vic-

an explanation for her squad’s die-another-day exploits.

She and her teammates also seemed to strike a chord with the American public.

I watched that quarterfinal game with Mom again, but this time at my family’s home in Hillsboro, where we screamed and yelled all game long and, finally, exulted in the triumph. I returned to Bend anxious for the United States’ semifinal against France and curious if the atmosphere at Sidelines would be any different.

It was.

The place was not full, but a considerable crowd had turned out for a Wednesday morning. The fans cheered the team along and celebrated when it turned the tide late in the game for a 3-1 victory.

And then came Japan.

I have a soft spot in my heart for the Japanese. Of course, the devastating earthquake that rocked that country in March and the superlative possession and team-first-oriented play of the Nadeshiko — the squad’s nickname, meaning “a pink carnation� — easily made them sentimental favorites.

Softball • Senior tournament on tap: This weekend, 20 senior-aged softball teams will converge on Bend to take part in the annual Bend Senior Classic tournament.

The Classic, put on by Bend Senior Softball, is expected to draw teams from Seattle, Portland, Salem, Eugene, Boise, Idaho, and Redding, Calif., as well as from Central Oregon. All games will be held at Pine Nursery Park in northeast Bend.

Seeding play will be staged on Saturday.

Championship play will take place on Sunday.

Tennis • Tournament raises funds for high school programs: Forty players took part in the TAB Tennis Tournament, a women’s doubles tournament staged on July 12 at Bend Golf and Country Club, the Athletic Club of Bend and Bend High School.

The tournament was a fundraiser for the boys and girls high school tennis programs at Bend, Mountain View and Summit High Schools. The exact amount raised is still being determined, but with additional donations from the Bend Tennis Foundation, organizers hoped to donate approximately $1,200 to each high school.

Track and field • Youths advance to national meet: Three young track athletes from Central Oregon have been selected to represent the Pacific Northwest region at the Hershey’s Track & Field Games North American Final next month.

Dawson Cockman and Tucker Flannery, both of Bend, and Bethany Bachmeier, of Sisters, won their divisions at the Hershey’s Oregon state meet on July 2 in Eugene.

By virtue of having the best marks in their events in the region, they were selected to attend the national meet, which will be staged Aug. 6 in Hershey, Pa. The Pacific Northwest region comprises Oregon, Washington, Idaho, Montana, Alaska, and the Canadian provinces of Alberta and British Columbia.

Cockman will participate in the boys age 11-12 100 meters. Flannery (11-12 boys) and Bachmeier (13-14 girls) will compete in the softball throw. • Central Oregon runners take part in national competition: Two runners from Redmond recorded top finishes at the World Masters Athletics Championships, staged July 6-17 in Sacramento, Calif.

Jeanette Groesz, 61, took eighth place in the women’s 60-64 division of the 5,000 meters in 23 minutes, 3.78 seconds. Betty Schaefer, 62, ran a leg on the United States’ bronze-medal-winning 1,600 relay (5:50.11) in the women’s 60-64 division.

She also placed 12th in the 400 (1:26.44) and 14th in the 200 (38.47).

The championships were for masters athletes age 35 and older. Participants from more than four dozen countries earned medals at the competition. • Summit Track Club ramping up: Based out of Summit High School in Bend, Summit Track Club is staging practices on Wednesday evenings through Aug. 31 (except for Aug. 3). Practices will be held from 5 to 7 p.m. at the Summit track. Track and field enthusiasts age 5 and older — including adults — are eligible to participate.

Cost is $30, which includes a T-shirt.

Also, a number of years ago, my family hosted a girl from Japan for a couple of weeks one summer. She and her school friends who had also come to the United States were endearing and delightful, just wonderful representatives of the Japanese people. They were easy to love.

So, if I wanted any team besides the United States to win the tournament, I wanted it to be Japan. That being said, and if you can possess two such conflicting emotions simultaneously, I didn’t want anyone but the U.S. to win.

After all, I am an American.

And so at Sidelines on Sunday, I cheered for the United States with the rest of the place. The house clapped when our side walked out onto the pitch, chanted, “USA, USA!� to the conducting motions of one of the bartenders, and caused a general ruckus.

It was great. I tried to take it all in.

Curious, I also talked to a few men, who may have outnumbered the women there, about why they had come out. “Most of the time, guys wouldn’t watch a women’s game, to be honest, but it’s the USA and it’s the final,� one told me.

His friend, a longtime soccer enthusiast in his mid-20s who still plays, said that he hoped to one day be as good a player as the U.S. women.

It was a joke, but he meant it.

Another of the male patrons was thoroughly impressed with the level of play. “It’s hard to sometimes tell you’re watching a women’s sport,� he said as the American women whirled across the screen in front of him.

That’s how good our ladies are.

I wanted so badly for them to win. I wanted the fever-pitch buzz the team had created to linger.

Then, I wondered, after the loss in penalty kicks, if the result would be a considerable setback in the progress of women’s sports in this country.

The U.S. women truly played the beautiful game beautifully on Sunday.

Most of the time in soccer, the team that plays the best on a given day does win. Sometimes it doesn’t. It’s part of the sublimity and the madness of the sport.

But that can be difficult to understand and even more difficult to accept. So I worried, because the result was not the one new fans had wanted, that the de-

feat would turn some away, that they would feel that women’s soccer was not worth their devotion.

And that’s no good.

Because, first of all, it isn’t true.

What an amazing tournament this Women’s World Cup turned out to be.

Staggering goals. High drama. A surprise ending.

And because, you see, I want to live in a country (I’d prefer to say the whole world, but let’s start with what we can change, right?) where we laud and cherish the accomplishments of our daughters just as much as those of our sons.

And while second is not first, it is still an admirable achievement, and there is no shame in playing your best and coming up just short.

In terms of American society fully embracing women’s athletics, we’re closer than we used to be. But we’re still not there yet.

Except, for a few magical days this summer, we were.

May that it would always be so.

Double vision?

Identical twins Ben and Andy Jacques-Maynes can have some fun with opposing cyclists, using their physical similarities as a tactical advantage.

Wearing the same Team Bissell kit and racing identical bikes helps their trickery.

How identical are these brothers?

“Our mom and Ben’s son have gotten us mixed up before,” Andy Jacques-Maynes says.

So if opposing teams need to keep an eye on one of the twins who might be a contender for victory in a stage race, they might not be sure which is which.

“We can make them react to the wrong one,” Ben Jacques-Maynes says. “Sometimes it’s a good tactic to have your stunt double go up the road.”

This marks the third season in which the twins have raced together on Bissell, currently the topranked team in USA Cycling’s National Racing Calendar (NRC) standings. Ben Jacques-Maynes is 13th in the individual standings, despite crashing out of the Tour of California in May with a broken collarbone and returning to race only last week.

Before the crash, he won the Merco Cycling Classic and finished second overall at the Redlands Bicycle Classic.

Ben figures to contend for the overall victory this week in the Bend Memorial Clinic Cascade Cycling Classic, along with teammate Chris Baldwin.

Ben Jacques-Maynes finished seventh overall at Cascade last year, and he won the first stage of the 2009 race. He has raced the CCC about 10 times.

“I’ve had some pretty good luck at the Cascade with stage wins and time trials,” he says.

“The courses definitely suit me: an intermediate amount of climbing.”

And he is glad to have his twin brother in tow.

“The whole thing about road cycling is, it’s based on teamwork, and your ability to work well with your teammates,” Ben says. “Your twin brother is the best teammate you could ever have.

We know our strengths and weaknesses, and we can play off that together. We give each other confidence, and the team really thrives on that.”

The Jacques-Mayneses, 32, who both now live in Watsonville, Calif., grew up mountain biking in Berkeley, Calif., first racing when they were 12.

Ben switched to road cycling in 2002, and he found it was an easier way to make a living.

Andy followed suit, and the twins raced together on the Sierra Nevada-Clif Bar team in 2003.

The next year, Andy took a job with the bike company Specialized as a product manager for road bikes. He continued to race and ride, often testing bikes.

Andy Jacques-Maynes is on Team Bissell with his twin brother for the third straight year.

In 2007, a hard job-related crash during which he struck a light pole sent him to a hospital intensive care unit for a week.

“I decided I needed to change jobs,” Andy says. “I was getting overworked.”

Ironically, he went back to bike racing and signed on with Bissell and his brother in 2009.

“We can play off each other pretty well in a race,” Andy says. “If I’m working my butt off for him, I know he’ll be able to finish it off.”

Currently 32nd in the NRC standings, Andy says he is having one of his best seasons ever. He finished third overall at the Sea Otter Classic. At last year’s Cascade, he placed third in the final stage, the Awbrey Butte Circuit Race.

“The circuit race last year was my first podium at any NRC race,” Andy recalls. “It’s a super-hard day. But if your legs are good, you can really show everybody what you’ve got.”

And maybe make them see double.

Return to racing After starting a family, Olympic champion Kristin Armstrong is back on the road and making a push for London 2012

By Mark Morical The Bulletin

Olympic gold medalist Kristin Armstrong retired from bike racing in September 2009 to start a family.

But “the family happened a lot quicker than I thought,” she says.

Two months later she was pregnant, and now her son Lucas is 10 months old.

Armstrong, 37 and of Boise, Idaho, recently came out of retirement to make a push for another Olympic gold medal in the time trial at the London Games next summer.

“I thought with the Olympics being so close, I’d give it a go,” she says. “My sole focus is the time trial. I’m using stage races to get fit for the time trial.”

Which is the main reason Armstrong will be back racing at the Bend Memorial Clinic Cascade Cycling Classic this week. And she is the favorite to win the overall title, which would be her third at the CCC. She won the race in 2005 and 2008.

“I don’t race for second place,” says Armstrong, who races for Peanut Butter & Co. “I’ve always told my teammates, nobody remembers who got second.”

During last year’s Cascade, Armstrong was seven months pregnant. She served as the Peanut Butter & Co. team director but did not make the trip to Central Oregon. Instead, she communicated with the team via Skype each night of the race.

A two-time world time trial champion who won gold in the time trial at the 2008 Beijing Games, Armstrong (no relation to seven-time Tour de France champion Lance Armstrong) is back on her bike and ready to return to glory after her brief respite from racing. This season she has won the overall title at the Sea Otter Classic and the time trial at the Tour of California.

She says she wants to get that gold-medal-winning feeling back.

“Oh, for sure, that has a lot to do with it,” says Armstrong, whose husband, Joe Savola, and their son will watch her race this week. “I think I never wanted to stop. I wouldn’t back out on the sport. I wanted to have a family, but I didn’t know how long it would take.

“I won the world (time trial) championships the last week of September (2009), and I was pregnant in December. We were fortunate. That feeling of winning

Her toughest competition at Cascade will likely be Meredith Miller of Team Tibco and Andrea Dvorak of Colavita. Armstrong hopes to win Thursday’s Skyliners Time Trial by a sizable margin and then hang on through the next four stages to claim the overall victory.

“I think our team is definitely going to race to win the overall, but we always have to see how it plays out,” Armstrong says. “We’re capable of doing it. This year the domestic teams are really even. It’s fun to go out and race when it’s not just one rider riding away.”

Armstrong might well be recalling herself at the 2008 CCC, which she won by nearly six minutes after claiming three stage victories just weeks before her golden moment in Beijing.

Young Bend rider is set to race again in this year’s CCC

With Landis out of the picture, less drama on tap

Ian Boswell is riding for Trek-Livestrong’s U23 team this week

After becoming the focus of last year’s CCC, the controversial cyclist is retired

By Mark Morical The Bulletin

Bend’s Ian Boswell is only 20 years old, but already he is reflecting on his career as a cyclist along with his teammates on the Trek-Livestrong U23 team.

“As a junior, you have aspirations of what you want to do,” Boswell says. “It’s amazing to think that just a few years ago we were racing juniors and having our parents support us. Now we’re getting paid to ride bikes and traveling the world together. It’s amazing to be here, but it’s a cool feeling to look back.”

Last month, Boswell won the prestigious Nevada City Classic — considered one of the most technically and physically challenging one-day courses in America — for the second straight year. He was the first cyclist in 30 years to win the Northern California race in consecutive years.

The last rider to do that was Greg LeMond, who won three in a row from 1979 to 1981. Five years later, LeMond claimed the first of three Tour de France victories in his career.

Boswell hopes to also race in the Tour de France one day, which is why he signed on with TrekLivestrong. The mission of the developmental team, sponsored by the Lance Armstrong Foundation, is to “help develop the next generation of great young cyclists,” according to

Cyclists Continued from C1 Drug testing is scheduled at this year’s Cascade, according to Ross, who says the U.S. Anti-Doping Agency (USADA) is planning to test pro men’s and women’s stage winners and overall leaders after each stage.

Currently third in the NRC standings is Frank Pipp, of Bissell, who will look to win the Downtown Twilight Criterium Saturday night.

Bissell is bringing a team that might be the strongest in the Cascade field, with Pipp, Chris Baldwin and Ben Jacques-Maynes.

“Bissell is sending a full squad of really good riders,” Ross says.

Two U23 teams, Trek-Livestrong and the Chipotle Development Team, will also look to make decisive moves during the five-stage race.

“Those young guys are really good,” Ross says.

The field for the women’s pro race includes more than 100 riders. Olympic gold medalist Kristin Armstrong, of Peanut Butter & Co., is the favorite to win the overall, according to Ross. She won the CCC in 2005 and 2008.

U.S. national champion Meredith Miller, of Team Tibco, is another contender for the overall title.

The 2011 Cascade Cycling Classic begins tonight with the Old Mill Prologue.

Wednesday’s first stage, the McKenzie Pass Road Race, will sort out much of the pro men’s and women’s races. The 74-mile race includes a climb up the McKenzie Pass and a grueling finishing climb up Three Creeks Road south of Sisters.

“The first road stage is really hard,” Ross says. “We will definitely know who the top five guys are going to be after the first stage. But the time trial is hard. Just because you win Three Creeks doesn’t mean you have it in the bag.”

The 16-mile Skyliner Time Trial is scheduled for Thursday, followed by the 84-mile Cascade Lakes Road Race on Friday (71 miles for women).

The crowd-pleasing Downtown Twilight Criterium is scheduled for Saturday night.

The Cascade Cycling Classic concludes on Sunday with the Awbrey Butte Circuit Race (83 miles for the men and 67 miles for the women).

“It’s a hard race, but it’s not just a survival test,” Ross says of the Cascade. “You have to be a tactical rider to be able to win.”

The mailbox at the Mt. Bachelor Sports Education Foundation office should be much less stuffed than it was last year at this time.

MBSEF, which runs the annual Bend Memorial Clinic Cascade Cycling Classic, received a troubling amount of negative feedback for permitting Floyd Landis to race last year, according to race director Brad Ross.

“There was a lot of hate mail sent to MBSEF from around the country, saying we shouldn’t have allowed him to race,” says Ross, who is employed by the foundation to direct the race. “But we had no legal precedent to disallow him from racing.”

But now Landis — who publicly accused seventime Tour de France winner Lance Armstrong of doping — is retired from cycling.

Without Landis in the event, the focus will more likely be on the racing at this year’s Cascade.

“I thought it was kind of funny, but at the same time it does take away …” Ross says, referring to the Landis spectacle last year. “I would rather have the news be about the race and the quality bike racing, instead of centered around a controversy that doesn’t have anything to do with the Cascade Classic.”

Three-time Tour de France winner Greg LeMond also showed up in Bend last year to support Landis.

LeMond has also been involved in legal spats with Armstrong.

Armstrong currently is the subject of a federal investigation into allegations of doping. Landis has now moved to the background of the Armstrong controversy, as two other prominent former teammates of Armstrong’s reportedly have testified before a federal grand jury that Armstrong doped during his racing career.

In May, Tyler Hamilton made specific doping allegations against Armstrong on the CBS television news magazine “60 Minutes.”

George Hincapie reportedly told the grand jury that he and Armstrong supplied each other with the endurance-boosting substance EPO and discussed having used another banned substance, testosterone, to prepare for races, The Associated Press reported in May. Also in May, the International Cycling Union (UCI) reportedly sued Landis for defamation, because Landis claimed the UCI helped to cover up positive drug tests by Armstrong.

Ross says he does not necessarily feel any relief that Landis will not be racing in Central Oregon this year.

“I don’t care either way,” says the race director.

“Honestly, I’m friends with Floyd. I’ve always liked him. I thought it was kind of funny that all this stuff was going on and Greg LeMond was here.”

U.S. Anti-Doping Agency returns to conduct drug tests at CCC Bulletin staff report

Rob Kerr / The Bulletin

Cyclists make their way around a roundabout during the Cascade Lakes Road Race at last year’s Cascade Cycling Classic. That stage will be held on Friday this year.

Drug testing at professional cycling races in the United States is somewhat of a guessing game.

Brad Ross, race director for the Bend Memorial Clinic Cascade Cycling Classic, says race organizers generally do not know if the U.S. Anti-Doping Agency (USADA) is coming to administer drug tests until about a month before the race.

The USADA came last year to the Cascade, and it is returning for this week’s race, according to Ross.

“It’s real up in the air,” Ross says. “They don’t always come. They pick and choose different events.

They came last year and they’re coming this year, but it doesn’t mean they’re coming next year.”

Ross says the USADA will administer drug tests to stage winners and overall leaders after each stage in both the pro men’s and pro women’s races.

The agency will also test a pro rider chosen at random after each stage.

Entering photo contests can be a daunting but rewarding experience.

It is daunting in that your image will be critiqued against many others and can be perceived as a reflection of you. It is rewarding in that the process of preparing an image for a contest will advance your photography.

A judge’s critique is a chance to learn more about what communicates well — or poorly — in an image. The process of thinking about how good your photographs are helps build better pictures in the future.

There are a few really important steps in entering a photography contest.

First, do some research and stick to the theme of the competition. The craft of doing well in a contest is to win votes from judges, so do all that is possible to appeal to them. Follow the rules. Look at past winners. And consider that, frequently, judges do not want to see a repeat of a previous winner.

With this information in mind, choose the picture that is best for each particular contest.

Ask a family member or friend if a picture fits into a category. Remember that your entry has to get and keep the judge’s attention.

The way you present your image must garner equal attention. This is less significant in an online or digital contest. But if it is a print contest — like the Deschutes County Fair, which has a deadline of July 30 — several other factors will sway the judges’ ability to be affected by your entry. The quality of the print and the framing or matboard mounting will be viewed collectively with the image you want to show.

Presentation is a common shortcoming, Deschutes County Fair photography superintendent Gretchen Bass acknowledged.

She encourages entrants to “choose neutral, white or gray mat boards with minimal frame” and to “be honest with your entries.” Frames for photographs are often meant to go with the decor of the room they are presented in, but a contest judge wants to look at the image and not be distracted by its surroundings.

Bass also suggested that images should be printed at the larger 8-by-10-inch size.

Judges look for careful cropping and details in the photograph’s edges. A large print heightens the strong points of a photograph, as well as accentuating the flaws.

Take extra care when entering contests with printed work. Be choosy about the type of paper the photo is printed on. Make prints with different brightnesses, try different print vendors and choose the shot that looks the best.

Print quality is the final step in the process. Make sure the print itself and the paper the image is on are as good as they can be. The photograph shouldn’t have a lot of glare when it appears under different light.

The color and tones should not be too dark or too light, and the crop and border should not detract from the entry. This might mean making a few prints and choosing the best, or paying a bit more for a different type of paper.

ASSIGNMENT Now, submit to The Bulletin an example or actual contest entry and explain in a brief caption what steps you took. Did you cut the mat yourself for a custom panorama?

Send a picture that shows your entry with its presentation format. Did you print the photo on your own bamboo paper? Was the picture an exceptional case for a particular category?

There are judges out there who want to be impressed. See if your work can do it.

Attention, photographers!

Submit your own photos at www.bendbulletin.com/wellshot and we’ll pick the best photos for publication next week in this space. No doctored photos, please!

BEND — Investigators in the Willamette Valley have slowed the search for a body that may belong to Lori “Woody” Blaylock, a Bend woman authorities say was murdered by her husband last year. But they are still determined to return her remains to her family.

Meanwhile, the attorney for Steven Paul Blaylock, charged with Lori’s murder, jockeyed with prosecutors Monday afternoon in Deschutes County Circuit Court over pretrial court dates.

On both fronts, the case is active and steadily moving for- Steven ward. A 12- Blaylock person jury trial — expected to last four weeks — is scheduled to begin Oct. 25.

Despite protests Monday from the Deschutes Coun- Lori “Woody” ty District Blaylock A t tor ney ’s Office, a tentative pre-trial date of Sept. 13 was set, with Judge Wells Ashby reminding both sides the date was “fluid” depending on new developments.

Lori Blaylock, 48 at the time of her disappearance, was reported missing Nov. 2. Forty-sevenyear-old Steven Blaylock was arrested Nov. 10 and indicted for murder later that month.

A sweater Lori Blaylock was believed to be wearing when she disappeared was discovered shortly after the indictment along the banks of the North Santiam River, about four miles downriver from Marion Forks.

A kayaker reported seeing a hand sticking out of the water in the North Santiam River in December. Divers plunged into the river the next day in an attempt to recover the body, but rough waters kept them from the area and the body was lost downstream. The remains were not positively identified as Lori Blaylock’s.

The Marion County Sheriff’s Office believes that a body thought to be Lori’s is now in Detroit Lake.

“At this point, the status is that the deputies know a body is out there,” said Don Thomson, spokesman for the sheriff’s office. “We visit with the Bend PD on a regular basis and work with what we have.”

Street maintenance will cause the city of Bend to close down a stretch of southwest Reed Market Road for several hours over three days starting today.

The closures, which will be in effect from 5 a.m. to 2:30 p.m., will shut down Reed Market from the Bond Street and Brookswood Boulevard roundabout west to the Mt. Washington Drive and Century Drive roundabout.

“We’re trying to do this with the least amount of pain to the citizens,” Bend Street Division Manager Hardy Hanson said of the road closure. “It’s not a pleasant thing, and we really have no other alternatives.”

According to Hanson, the reason for the closure is to fix potholes, perform accessibility work on curb ramps and repair stormwater inlets that were damaged by passing snowplows and other vehicles.

The work will also include sealing cracks in preparation for an overlay that is scheduled to take place on that section of Reed Market Road next year.

Some of the areas that will be affected by the street work include Farewell Bend Park, the Athletic Club of Bend and the Bend Memorial Clinic.

These places will remain accessible through various detours and alternative routes.

The Associated Press PORTLAND — A big spring rise in the Columbia River basin has finally washed out to sea, meaning that turbines in the region’s wind farms are back at full output.

While the basin was awash in runoff from heavy mountain snows late spring, generators at dams in the region were producing electricity at full tilt.

At night and on weekends, when demand was low, the Bonneville Power Administration ordered wind farms to shut down, saying there was more electricity than the region needed or could export.

Barring something unforeseen, the agency is finished with curtailments this year, spokesman Michael Milstein said Monday. He said they amounted to slightly more than 6 percent of the wind farm’s potential output since mid-May. This year’s spring runoff was even larger than expected a few months ago.

National Weather Service statistics show the volume is the third largest in the past four decades and the largest since 1997.

Blaylock Continued from D1 Over the past nine months, hundreds of police from Marion, Deschutes, Jefferson, Crook, Benton and Linn counties have searched the area.

While the search teams still aren’t sure that the body is Lori Blaylock’s, they want her found.

“We would like to return her to her family for some type of funeral,” Thomson said. “I think every family wants to be able to bury their loved ones.”

Steven Blaylock has pleaded not guilty to one charge of murder and one charge of manslaughter. His next court appearance is scheduled for Sept. 8.

Crews work to save a family outside their burning home in Medford on Monday. A couple and their four young children were pulled from the house and treated for smoke inhalation before EMTs noticed stab wounds. The father was the only survivor, and police placed him under watch at the hospital.

Mother, 4 kids dead from fire, stabbing Police suspect father of starting blaze after attacking his family

By Jeff Barnard The Associated Press

MEDFORD — Police believe a 51-yearold Oregon man stabbed his wife and their four young children and set fire to their house on Monday, killing all five victims. The man was hospitalized as authorities tried to piece together the frantic scene.

Firefighters using CPR tried to revive the family members, and managed to get a pulse from at least two of the children as they lay on the lawn in front of their home, said Police Chief Tim George.

“The front yard looked like it was a plane crash or something, the people working on those folks,” George said.

Rescuers quickly realized it wasn’t just smoke inhalation they were dealing with and rushed the 30-year-old mother and the children — ages 2, 5, 6 and 7 — to the hospital.

But all five died. The father was also taken to the hospital, where he was sedated in stable condition and under police guard, George said. Police believe he killed his family, but did not immediately charge him.

“That is the suspicion right now — the fellow we have up at the hospital under guard is responsible,” said George.

Though autopsies will not be done for a day or two, it is believe the five dead were all stabbed and suffered smoke inhala-

Investigators were getting a new search warrant before going back into the house today to gather more evidence, George said.

The house is a small, plain one-story structure in a working class neighborhood of older homes, some of them undergoing renovation, several blocks from downtown in this city of about 75,000 in Southern Oregon’s timber country.

The father was identified as Jordan Adam Criado, 51, and his wife as Tabasha Paige-Criado, 30. The names of the children, three boys aged 7, 6 and 5, and a 2year-old daughter, were not released.

Some neighbors said they thought Criado, who spoke with an accent, was a single dad, devoted to his children, and worked as a “shade-tree mechanic,” fixing cars out of his home. A maroon minivan sat in the driveway with a broken transmission.

A public records database shows that Criado has had addresses in Medford, and the nearby cities White City and Central Point since 2007. The records also show California addresses, in Sacramento, Bakersfield and Salinas, before 2000, but nothing in the intervening years.

About two weeks ago, Criado and his wife could be heard arguing loudly late at

O B Police: Man stabs pregnant wife, self PORTLAND — Court documents in the case of a Portland man accused of choking and stabbing his pregnant wife, then stabbing himself allege he attacked when she told him she was leaving because of his drug use.

Both are expected to survive.

A probable cause affidavit filed Monday alleges 33-year-old Brian Shaun Nickel had used the drug Ketamine on Saturday before calling his wife “the devil” and saying he had to kill her.

Nickel was arraigned Monday in Circuit Court on allegations of attempted murder, first-degree assault and strangulation. It was not known if he had a lawyer.

Court papers say 32-year-old Elaine Winn suffered numerous stab wounds. Police say she is about three months pregnant.

Her fetus is expected to survive.

Kulongoski’s wife picked for commission SALEM — Gov. John Kitzhaber has selected the state’s former first lady to work on historic preservation issues.

The Oregon Parks and Recreation Department announced Monday that Mary Oberst was appointed to the State Advisory Committee on Historic Preservation.

Oberst is married to former Gov. Ted Kulongoski. Kulongoski was appointed to a commission reviewing sentencing laws.

Stabbed man walks into Gresham hospital GRESHAM — Police in Gresham say a man was stabbed but was able to walk himself to a hospital across the street.

Officers responded to reports of fighting at an apartment complex Sunday night. Officials at Mt. Hood Medical Center told police that they sent the 22-yearold victim to a trauma center in Portland. Police say he suffered a stab or slice wound to his torso.

His condition was unknown.

Police officers detained all

the people believed to have been involved and are trying to determine what caused the incident.

Coos girl’s murder now in jury’s hands COQUILLE — A Coos County prosecutor has told jurors in the Nicholas McGuffin murder trial that the defendant is an arrogant killer whose relationship with 15-year-old Leah Freeman led him to take her life in the summer of 2000. In its closing argument Monday, the defense said the state has no evidence against McGuffin and pursued him rather than finding the real killer.

Jurors deliberated briefly Monday afternoon before adjourning for the evening.

Now 29, McGuffin was 18 at the time of Freeman’s death. She vanished on June 28, 2000. Her decomposed body was found on Aug. 3, 2000.

— From wire reports

night, said Chris Bennett, 23, an Oregon National Guard infantryman who lives three doors down.

“He just bluntly told her, ‘Hey, you need to calm down, the kids are asleep,’” Bennett said.

“It was always her yelling,” said Bennett’s fiance, Shilo Croswell, 22. “Anytime we saw him it was just him and the kids.

Then we saw this woman. She kept asking him who we were, and he was not responding because he was talking to us.”

Bennett said last year his car broke down in front of Criado’s house, and Criado advised him to check the fuses. One was burnt out and Criado gave him a replacement and wouldn’t take any money for it.

Bennett said the 7-year-old boy was a good student, and once said he hoped to be a doctor.

Earlier in the morning of the fire, Criado called police to report his wife missing, said George. Officers located her a few blocks away at a convenience store, and gave her a ride home, George said.

“They both met and conversed,” George added. “What happened between 7:30 and 9:30 in roughly a two-hour time span is what we are trying to figure out right now.”

At around 9 a.m., Calvin Kennedy said he and other neighbors saw smoke coming out of the house and contacted police and firefighters, who had to don breathing apparatus to enter the smoke-filled house.

“When I first saw it, all I could do was cry,” Jennifer Backes told the Medford Mail Tribune as she watched the rescue efforts.

“Never saw any trouble,” Kennedy said.

“It’s just sad.”

BEAVERTON — A 75-yearold federal magistrate judge died Monday while working in a community garden in the Portland suburb of Beaverton, according an Oregon judge.

Chief U.S. District Judge Ann Aiken described Magistrate Judge Donald Ashmanskas as “everything you hoped to have in a judge.” She says she’s stunned by his death but adds, “we know if he was in his garden, he died doing something he loved.”

The cause of death was not immediately known.

Ashmanskas became a federal judge in 1992, after serving as a district judge and circuit court judge in Washington County. He earned his undergraduate degree from Rutgers University in 1960 and his law degree from New York University in 1966.

U.S. Attorney Dwight Holton said Ashmanskas “brought to the courthouse every day a joy of life and work and justice.”

o city wants a cop on every corner. It wouldn’t be affordable or necessary. But more and more communities are experimenting with surveillance cameras on corners, at

traffic lights and to catch speeders.

The cameras can be a deterrent and give residents peace of mind.

They also raise concerns about Big Brother watching people wherever they go.

The Medford Police Department is experimenting with one aspect of this technology — license plate scanners on police cars.

A police car is loaded with four cameras. As the car moves through traffic, the cameras can capture as many as 30 license plates a second.

The numbers are checked against a computer database to determine if there are any connections to possible crimes.

It’s a tool to help police do what they can do already. It’s quicker. It’s more random.

That has raised privacy concerns from the American Civil Liberties Union, as The Medford Mail Tribune reported. Basically, the ACLU opposes the surveillance of people without the government having some indication that the people had done something wrong.

If the information about plate numbers and location is stored, it opens up a number of ways in which the data could be used. It might be useful for other investigations. Also, could the data be made public? Could it be subpoenaed in a lawsuit, a divorce?

We contacted the Medford Police on Monday to ask to what extent the information would be stored and also contacted the manufacturer PIPs Technology, Inc. We did not get

calls back.

Because the technology is new and not cheap, it’s not something every department is ordering or has on its wishlist. The Medford police got a $30,000 grant to outfit two police cars and install the software.

Bend Police Department Community Liaison Steve Esselstyn said the price and the maintenance costs mean such technology likely won’t be coming to Bend any time soon. In Bend now, police don’t run random checks on license plates. Esselstyn told us police are too busy going from call to call to punch in the plate numbers of random vehicles.

It’s hard to argue against any technology that might help the police catch serious criminals or find missing people.

How license plate scanners are used determines whether they shape up as Big Brother invading people’s privacy or a reasonable tool of law enforcement. It would certainly feel unreasonable if the stored information could be used by the public to find out what political rally a family went to, where someone likes to shop or whose car was parked outside a hotel.

Effectiveness must also be considered. A year from now, did the cameras earn their cost?

If the Medford police add more cameras, they could be buying cameras rather than being able to hire another police officer. Cameras can be eyes that do not sleep. A police officer can do much more.

Find better use for development funds J

ust about six months ago, the Deschutes Economic Alliance asked county commissioners to pungle up money to pay California economist John Watkins and the North Dakota-based Praxis Strategy Group for a road map to a sound economy. At the time, the group sought $3,000 on top of the $2,000 the county already had given the alliance. Now the alliance is back with a request for yet another $5,000.

County commissioners should just say no.

The alliance needs the money to pay Praxis, which it says it still owes $5,000. It already has paid the company $15,000, some of which came from the county commission. A bit also came from the Bend City Council. Unfortunately for the alliance, the merits of the current request have been clouded by Watkins’ remarks on a Portland radio program last month that took a dim view of the state of the Central Oregon economy.

That hasn’t set well with two of the three county commissioners, who note that there are positive things to

report, if one chooses to do so.

Though the request for money for Praxis and Watkins’ comments have nothing to do with each other, the damage has been done.

Each county commissioner gets a chunk of money each year to give away at his or her discretion, and the funds that would go to the alliance would come from that money.

For now, only Commissioner Tony DeBone of La Pine remains untroubled by Watkins’ comments and has set aside money for the alliance and Praxis.

Watkins notwithstanding, we don’t think any of the commissioners should contribute to the alliance.

No doubt the private group believes it can be a factor in improving the local economy, though there’s not much evidence that its 1,000-day plan for doing so has been embraced outside its own group. Given the limited funds the county has to spend, the money could be put to better use by the economic development efforts the county already supports.

My Nickel’s Worth Better than fireworks I have just returned home from the most inspiring patriotic experience of my 74 years! The Cascade Horizon Band and the Festival Chorus combined at Bend High School on the Fourth of July to give us all the opportunity to celebrate our country, our citizenry and those who have served to protect us here. The afternoon celebration in band numbers and especially in the singalongs was better than all of the fireworks I have experienced living in seven states of our nation.

Now, if only all of the hundreds of citizens who attended today will participate in their voting privilege, we can truly sing “this land is your land, this land is my land.”

Folks exited from every possible exit, but there should have been buckets held at each door for monetary thanks!

This is my first Fourth of July here in Bend — I hope this is an annual event!

Support reservoir bill The pending legislation for Prineville Reservoir, proposed by Representative Greg Walden, is proactive planning.

The bill offers the city of Prineville a path to growth and business development. Attracting businesses to support schools, income levels, jobs and community vitality is critical. Prineville can bring high profile businesses to Central Oregon.

Our family ranched and farmed in this watershed three generations before Bowman Dam was built. We remember floods in our town, and the relief that came with the completion of Bowman Dam. Flood control is more than nice; it is crucial.

This legislation recognizes the importance of agriculture. Irrigators must have stable water supplies to generate economic activity, maintain jobs and — perhaps most critical — pay off the construction debt. The impact of un-

certain water would cripple the economy in Crook County. We wonder why producers who grow food and fiber — which this country needs — are placed at the end of the line for this resource.

Securing irrigation in our valley was not a for-sure proposition. While the farmers were excited about possibilities, adults of the 1950s and ’60s actually considered and discussed the debt they were passing to the next generation of ranchers and farmers. What debt? The debt incurred constructing the Crooked River Project, Bowman Dam, still needs to be paid.

Our family, and others within Ochoco Irrigation District, rely on the contracts (promises) made by the Bureau of Reclamation. The reservoir being authorized for irrigation and flood control was key to our support of the project.

The costs of prison The following quote is taken from the Oregon State Procurement Office website: “The current recession has reduced state revenues, and has forced the Legislature to make deep cuts in agency budgets. Coping with these cuts requires closing most state offices and facilities on the days listed below.

State Procurement Office workers will take unpaid furloughs on those days.

We apologize for any inconvenience these closures might cause, and we look forward to restoration of a full work schedule for all state agencies when the economy improves.”

Since Oregon prisons can’t close on furlough days, I wonder what it is costing the taxpayers, per furlough day, for all the state union guards working in Oregon’s prisons?

Good dog citizens At what point does this town push, pull or drag itself into the 21st century

on the issue of off-leash dogs? All of the problems that exist with off-leash dogs can be so easily remedied that it seems ridiculous that someone in this city’s government hasn’t become enlightened enough to do something about it.

Here is how more progressive communities address this situation: Any dog that can pass the American Kennel Club’s canine good citizen test can be issued a license to be off leash, under voice control, within 50 yards of its owner. Bingo, problem solved and everybody wins.

Canine good citizen dogs do not jump on people, are friendly, nonthreatening and unobtrusive, among other mannerly behaviors. They have earned the right to be off leash.

If this policy were initiated it would encourage people to learn how to train their dogs, let the police pay attention to activities that need to be paid attention to, generate income for the city (a fee for the license), and stop unruly dogs from bothering the townspeople who are adverse to them.

C’mon Bend, get with it!

Stopping wars Regarding Tim Conlon’s “In My View” from June 26, I must say that is a man I’d like to meet.

I have seldom heard such positive words about women and, as a woman, was thoroughly moved that you printed his view and will anxiously await what kind of response you get. My husband agrees with this writing and was sure to point it out to me.

I hope there are many more such male opinions forthcoming. Just maybe we’d have many fewer wars and more understanding that you cannot change mores overnight or by war.

It is more difficult every day to find a lot of pleasure reading or hearing the news.

New tax credits would be good for state’s hard hit areas

By Matt Wand Bulletin guest columnist

I

read with some interest your editorial urging the governor to veto the Low Income Community Jobs Initiative. Unfortunately, your position is premised on some incorrect assumptions.

Because I carried the bill in the House and I am a co-sponsor, I am happy to correct the record.

First, your readers should know that it is a false choice to claim that the state of Oregon could “keep as much as $78 million for ... teachers, health care for the poor or state police.” When we are considering tax credits, it is easy to make the assumption that they are the same as spending tax money that the state has already received. That assumption is false in this instance. There is no indication that the community-based busi-

nesses that will benefit from the Low Income Community Jobs Initiative would ever otherwise locate in Oregon or pay taxes to the state. This tax credit is a tool to encourage creation of new businesses or relocation of existing businesses into these hard hit communities.

Thus, the tax credit encourages an increase in tax revenues from the new and expanding businesses, only a portion of which is written down in the form of the tax credit. Under Missouri’s similar state program, it actually increased state revenues by over $30 million in the first 18 months and an additional $20 million to local governments. There is no reason to believe the result in Oregon would be any different, and in fact, considering Oregon’s reliance on income taxes, we may recover even more.

Second, the class warfare in the

IN MY VIEW editorial is pernicious. The construction jobs created when a luxury hotel is constructed are no less worthy than the construction jobs created when constructing any other — more humble — building. I presume the laborers are less concerned with the building than the fact that they are working and earning money to support their families. In addition, the luxury hotels hire people to work, creating a steady income for Oregon families. A luxury hotel in a low-income area would likely result in substantial additional spending in the local economy as its guests shop near the hotel. This supports nearby businesses and thus promotes more jobs. In spite of these potential benefits, this act

precludes projects deriving more than 15 percent of their revenue from rental or sale of real property, thus precluding luxury hotels.

Finally, the Low Income Community Jobs Initiative promotes access to capital in the form of loans and grants in a time when such access is sorely lacking.

Absent additional capital, our economy cannot expand. This state policy combines with the already existing federal program to make Oregon more attractive to national equity firms who might otherwise use the federal program to invest in competing states. The federal program is already working, and has been funded. Oregon should not sit on the sidelines and allow this program to help low-income urban and rural communities in other states when the Low Income Community Jobs Initiative both

promotes Oregon and preserves our values.

We were charged this session with putting Oregonians back to work. I’m proud of our record in that regard. We have avoided tax increases, reduced barriers to job creation and prioritized tax credits (including this one) that are most likely to create and preserve jobs.

The Low Income Community Jobs Initiative is the result of a substantial bipartisan effort that included Rep. Jules Bailey, myself, and several others. It will promote job creation in our hardest hit areas, including urban and rural communities. It is a good bill that will put Oregonians back to work. I look forward to the governor’s signature on this bill.

Rep. Matt Wand is a Republican state representative from Troutdale.

Royal New Zealand Air Force Museum via New York Times News Service

Geoff Fisken stands next to a Curtiss P-40 Kittyhawk in July 1943. Fisken, a sheep farmer turned combat pilot who flew in the Pacific theater of World War II — shooting down at least 11 Japanese planes — died on June 11 in Rotorua, New Zealand. He was 96.

New Zealand flying ace Geoff Fisken dies at 96

By Richard Goldstein New York Times News Service

Growing up on New Zealand’s North Island in the 1920s, Geoff Fisken seemed destined for a quiet life working on the vast sheep farms his father owned. But he became fascinated by airplanes when his father, Robert, began flying on his trips around the country. At 14, Geoff flew solo in a biplane.

When war loomed in 1938, he sought to enlist in the Royal New Zealand Air Force, only to be turned down because the government classified agricultural work as an essential occupation.

He tried again in 1940, and was accepted.

He was stationed in Singapore, the site of a major British naval base, when the Japanese invaded Malaya on Dec. 8, 1941, the day after their attack on Pearl Harbor, and he went aloft to confront Japanese planes as a member of a vastly outnumbered British air squadron.

By mid-January 1942, Sgt.-Pilot Fisken, flying U.S.-made Brewster Buffaloes, had shot down six Japanese fighters or bombers, according to the New Zealand Fighter Pilots Museum. That was one more than the number required to be an “ace.”

He went on to become the British Commonwealth’s No. 1 fighter pilot in the Pacific, credited with downing at least 11 Japanese planes.

Geoffrey Bryson Fisken died June 11 at age 96 in Rotorua in

central North Island, his family announced. He had spent much of his postwar years as a sheep farmer.

Fisken, a native of Gisborne, on the North Island’s eastern coast, seemed to experience a charmed existence facing the vaunted Japanese Zero fighters in his first weeks of combat. But in February 1942, his plane was hit by Japanese cannon fire in an aerial duel, his engine failed and he made a crash landing. It was then that he discovered he had been wounded.

“When I got out of the plane, my mechanic fainted because he saw all the blood down my leg,” he told Bruce Petty for the oral history “New Zealand in the Pacific War” (2008). “There was about a 4-inch piece of steel sticking out of my hip. We couldn’t get it out with a pair of pliers, so I had to go over to the hospital to get it cut out.”

Flying on painkillers He returned to combat while receiving daily painkilling injections, then was evacuated from Singapore shortly before it fell to the Japanese in February 1942. Sent home for a rest in March, he was at the train station in Wellington when he phoned his mother, Grace, to let her know he would soon be seeing her.

“She couldn’t speak to me,” he remembered, telling how his sister came to the phone to report that the family “had got a message the day before from

the Ministry of Defense to say I was missing and believed killed.

So when my mother heard my voice, she fainted.”

He joined the Solomon Islands campaign in June 1943, arriving on Guadalcanal to fly U.S.-built Curtiss P-40 Kittyhawk fighters alongside U.S. pilots. Patrolling over the island of Rendova, he shot down two Japanese fighters and a bomber on July 4. He was awarded a Distinguished Flying Cross in September.

His lingering leg injury brought his discharge from military service in December 1943 as a flight officer. In addition to his 11 confirmed kills, he had several probable downings of Japanese planes, the fighter plane museum said.

After farming in Rotorua for many years, Fisken worked for a regional egg-marketing board.

He is survived by five sons, Bob, Michael, Peter, Antony and John; a daughter, Kathryn Noble; 16 grandchildren; and 8 great-grandchildren. His wife, Rhoda, died in 1997.

When he would shoot down a Japanese plane, Fisken recalled in the oral-history interview, he could “usually sleep quite easily.” But one day he thought about the families of the fallen Japanese pilots.

As he told it, “This day I thought if I had been shot down, my mother would have been terribly upset. ... They had mothers, too.”

Magnus Malan, a South African general and defense minister who in the 1980s helped devise and carry out his nation’s last-ditch strategy to preserve its system of rigid racial segregation, including ordering raids into surrounding countries, died Monday in Cape Town. He was 81. A family spokesman said the cause was heart failure, The South African Press Association reported.

Malan used the phrase “total onslaught” to describe the threats to apartheid, as the country’s racial laws were known. He saw those threats coming from Communists, neighboring African countries and liberals in the United States. His answer was “a total strategy,” combining elements of the political, economic and psychological spheres as well as the military.

He approved counterinsurgencies in Mozambique and Angola; set up a covert agency responsible for disinformation and assassination; sent troops to control unrest in so-called townships — areas designated for blacks; and declared that political rights were not a relevant concern for blacks. He and his aides regularly used terms

like “annihilate” and “exterminate.” He approved a biological warfare program.

He also created programs to win the support of middle-class blacks by easing restrictions on black businesses and opening some hotels, theaters and restaurants to blacks.

Malan was charged with authorizing an assassination squad that mistakenly killed 13 civilians, mainly women and children, in 1987. He was the highest-ranking apartheid official ever prosecuted. He was acquitted in 1996 after a sevenmonth trial on the ground that there was no evidence linking him to the massacre.

In 1997, Malan volunteered to testify before South Africa’s Truth and Reconciliation Commission, which investigated atrocities in the country’s past.

He accepted responsibility for the cross-border counterinsurgencies and for setting up the secret police agency, and for the deaths they caused. But he characterized the actions as “legal acts of state.”

Malan led the talks that paved the way for Namibia’s independence in 1990, ending its status as a colony of South Africa.

Malan retired from Parliament in 1993.

Baritone at the Met Cornell MacNeil dies New York Times News Service Cornell MacNeil, one of the great postwar American baritones, best known for his roles in Verdi operas, died Friday in Charlottesville, Va. He was 88.

His death was announced by his wife, Tania. MacNeil had been living in an assisted-living facility.

A pure baritone with power from low to high notes, he was considered the equal of Leonard Warren and Robert Merrill, the other stellar American Verdi baritones during the second half of the 20th century.

From 1959 to 1987, he sang 26 roles in more than 600 appearances at the Metropolitan Opera alone. But he reached his peak in his Verdi performances.

“The larger and more complex the part, the better he was,” James Levine, the Met’s longtime conductor, said of

MacNeil’s Verdi roles in a 2007 interview with Opera News.

“Boccanegra, Rigoletto, Macbeth, Nabucco, Falstaff, Iago — a lot of these parts could be said to be the most challenging and varied.” Referring to characters in “Aida” and “Tosca,” Levine continued, “He sang lots of Amonasros and Scarpias marvelously well, but those more complex ones were where he was at his best.”

Though not known as a temperamental artist, MacNeil was remembered for a spectacular public outburst when he stormed off the Parma Opera stage in Italy on Dec. 26, 1964.

It happened during “Un Ballo in Maschera,” when the Parma audience, notorious for rude displays of disapproval, hissed at the soprano Luisa Maragliano just as MacNeil was about to sing the aria “Eri tu.”

Sports writer part of USA Today’s first staff, Rod Beaton, dies at 59

By Matt Schudel The Washington Post

Rod Beaton, a sportswriter who covered baseball for USA Today for many years, and who once had a testy clubhouse confrontation with superstar Barry Bonds, died June 22 at Emeritus of Arlington nursing home in Arlington County, Va. He was 59 and had Lewy body dementia, a progressive neurological disorder, and Parkinson’s disease.

Beaton was a member of the original staff of USA Today when the newspaper was founded in 1982. He covered the National Hockey League for four years before turning to baseball.

As a national baseball correspondent, Beaton toured spring training camps each year and attended the All-Star Game and World Series for two decades. He was among the first sportswriters to focus attention on amateur and minor league players before they became big-league stars.

He cultivated a network of scouts and coaches around the country and often traveled to distant corners of the country for firsthand glimpses of young players. He collected his observations in columns that highlighted minor leaguers from each franchise and discussed draft prospects and rumors of potential trades and free-

agent signings. Many future stars gained their first national exposure through Beaton’s writing.

“Back before the Internet gave us so much information so easily about so many teams,” baseball reporter Tom Verducci wrote on the Sports Illustrated Web site, “if you wanted to learn something about teams outside of your home market ... you read Rod Beaton.”

Bonds confrontation Beaton interviewed hundreds of athletes over the years, but he had a particularly testy encounter with Bonds, the volatile slugger of the Pittsburgh Pirates and later the San Francisco Giants.

In 1996, while Beaton was waiting before a game to interview one of Bonds’ teammates

with the Giants, Bonds ordered him to leave the clubhouse. Beaton said that, by major league rules, he still had 15 minutes to talk to players before the game.

“Time, dude, gotta go,” Bonds said, according to a story in the San Francisco Chronicle. “Time to get out of here.”

Bonds then approached Beaton, waving a finger in his face before shoving him in the chest.

“I stepped back and slapped his hand away,” Beaton told the Chronicle. According to other reports, he added, “Barry, you’re not my social director.”

Members of the Giants front office and coaching staff stepped between the two to keep the tiff from escalating. After the game, the Giants’ public relations director tried to restore a measure of

amity by having Bonds speak to Beaton.

“He accused me of having an attitude,” Beaton said at the time.

“I told him he went over the line by shoving me, but there was no apology.”

Forgiveness Several years later, after symptoms of Beaton’s illness had become apparent, he was unable to rise from a chair at a baseball gathering. Other sportswriters and baseball officials walked past, but when Bonds saw him struggling to stand, he helped Beaton to his feet.

After that act of kindness, Beaton’s wife said, her husband never again criticized Bonds.

Hugh Roderick Beaton Jr. was born Sept. 28, 1951, in Augusta, Ga., and grew up outside Wilmington, Del. After graduating from the University of Delaware, he became a reporter for the Wilmington News-Journal in 1978.

Although Beaton concentrated on hockey and baseball at USA Today, which is based in Northern Virginia, he also covered the Winter Olympics, the Super Bowl and the Daytona 500. Of all his assignments, Beaton particularly enjoyed writing about minor league baseball.

Resources to vet Oregon caregivers underutilized The Associated Press PORTLAND — Private caregivers who help the elderly are not subject to background checks or oversight, and officials concede that government resources to help vet them are largely unused, The Oregonian reported on Monday.

The Oregon Department of Human Services reports that there

VANCOUVER

were 2,350 cases of abuse involving elderly people living at home last year. Elder abuse can take the form of physical or sexual attack, although it’s more common that vulnerable seniors and their families become victims of fraud and theft.

“It’s a common misconception that if someone holds themselves out to be a caregiver they must

have been checked by someone, somewhere, when, in fact, they have not,” Jeff Lesowski, a senior deputy district attorney in Washington County, told The Oregonian.

State law requires background checks for caregivers paid through Medicaid or other public programs, but not for those who are paid privately. State and lo-

$50K bail for woman accused of trying to sell baby The Associated Press VANCOUVER, Wash. — A judge has set bail at $50,000 for a 36-year-old woman accused of trying to sell her 3-day-old baby at a Taco Bell restaurant in southwest Washington.

Court papers say Heidi Knowles was arrested July 14 after a woman at the restaurant called police, saying she’d been offered the baby boy for a price between $500 and $5,000.

Knowles was arrested on charges of attempted child selling and on several outstanding warrants.

Superior Court Judge Robert Lewis set bail Monday and appointed defense lawyer Gerry Wear to represent her.

According to court documents, the woman is unemployed, on welfare and food stamps and told investigators she was living at a motel until she could find a shelter. The Columbian says Child Protective Services took custody of the baby, born July 11.

Arraignment was set for July 29.

cal agencies offer training, background checks and help with aging spouses or relatives. But officials say that most people aren’t aware of those government resources and often turn to online classifieds like craigslist.com in search of caregivers.

In an effort to help people connect with vetted caregivers and other services for seniors, the

Aging and Disability Resource Connection of Oregon launched a searchable website with resources in every county. The Oregon Home Care Commission also offers connection to an online registry of caregivers who have cleared criminal background checks.

Dennis Rolling turned to craigslist.com two years ago when

looking for a caregiver for his 80-year-old mother. He found a woman with a “good personality” who “took good care of mom,” he told The Oregonian. But he later discovered that the caregiver was using his mother’s charge account to buy jewelry from a home-shopping network, and other questionable transactions showed up among his mother’s bills.

ADOPT ME Trooper guaranteed to love you Trooper is a 2-year-old Pit bull mix that came the shelter in very poor condition. Thanks to a lot of caring people, he’s back into good health and now he’s looking for a home. He needs training, but he is a social love bug. He needs a home that can teach him what it’s like to be loved and to be a dog.

Carol and Dave Pshigoda prepare two American Cream draft horses at the farm in Alfalfa.

hen horse breeder Carol Pshigoda, of Alfalfa, first learned of the American Cream draft horse 27 years ago, it was “virtually extinct,” according to the American Livestock Breeds Conservancy. Since then, not much has been done to bring the breed back from oblivion.

Pshigoda, 58, was fascinated with horses as a child, but unlike most horse-smitten girls, her fascination only deepened as she grew older. When she saw her first team of draft horses at the Oregon State Fair in 1977 she knew instantly she wanted to spend the rest of her life with these majestic creatures.

That same year, Lynn Miller of Sisters, the longtime publisher of the international quarterly Small Farm Journal, taught her the fundamentals of handling “heavy horses” and soon she was working a Percheron draft horse raising hay near The Dalles.

Through their mutual vocation, Pshigoda got to know fellow horse farmer Fay Pishion, then in his 60s and a storehouse of old horse stories.

He fondly remembered a team of American Cream draft horses from his early days farming in rural Wisconsin during the Great Depression. With their amiable disposition, reputation for hard work and striking good looks, they were his favorites. The problem was, he said sadly, they were all probably dead.

Canines and hot cars: a deadly combination

No one in their right mind would ever put a beloved animal companion in a hot oven, but every summer, people literally bake their dogs to death by leaving them in parked cars. Already this season, at least six dogs have suffered agonizing, panic-filled deaths inside hot vehicles. Many others have been rescued in the nick of time because a passer-by cared enough to intervene.

In Ontario, Calif., a 19-year-old woman is facing cruelty charges for allegedly leaving her 1-year-old golden retriever in a hot car while she shopped at a mall. The dog was euthanized after veterinarians determined that she had sustained

COLUMN brain damage and heart and lung injuries.

A Parma, Ohio, woman was recently sentenced to jail time after her dog was found suffering from heatstroke in a car in a bar parking lot. The temperature inside the car had reached 129 degrees.

And in London, a police officer reportedly tried to commit suicide after two dogs he had left in the back of his patrol car died from the heat.

Each of these tragedies could have been avoided if the people responsible had simply left their dogs indoors with air conditioning or fans running.

S outherners rise to defend their ‘y’alls’ Dear Abby: “Keeping It Real in Laguna Beach, Calif.” (May 27), who is embarrassed by the dialects of his Southern relatives, should learn some Southern hospitality! Yes, we may say “Ma and Pa,” “y’all,” “yonder” and “I reckon,” but we would not laugh or be embarrassed if a California relative came to visit. We’d be overjoyed and welcoming.

“K.I.R.,” get off your high horse and get over yourself! If you visited, we’d show you around town, take you to see friends and relatives, and smother you with affection. We’d have big family gatherings, sit on the front porch and drink lemonade. We would never ridicule your different accent.

Come spend some time with us “hicks.” We welcome everyone and are glad to have you.

We’ll serve you white gravy and homemade buttermilk biscuits, pecan pie and sweet tea. And when you leave, we’ll give you a big, air-constricting hug and some “sugar” (Southern slang for kisses) and say, “Y’all come back now, ya hear?”

— Georgia Girl Dear Georgia Girl: To heck with “K.I.R.” — invite me!

You’ll be pleased to know your fellow Southerners came out in force against “K.I.R.’s” uppity attitude. Read on: Dear Abby: “Keeping It Real” is living in a fantasy world — a sad one at that. Our country is made up of all kinds of people.

How can he not see the charm in a simple, down-home accent?

Using different regional phrases or expressions doesn’t make a person stupid or uneducated — a fact “K.I.R.” might understand if he were more educated himself.

I adore my Southern heritage.

I love being able to tell the difference between the drawl of someone from the Carolinas versus the Cajun tones of folks from Louisiana.

DEAR ABBY There’s richness to those voices. You can almost hear the history by listening to someone speak. I’d much rather hear about “Ma and Pa” than be repeatedly subjected to words like “dude” or “gnarly.” All I can say to “K.I.R.” is — bless your heart!

— Proud Belle in Arkansas Dear Abby: Why would “K.I.R.” assume that because his Southern family doesn’t live in an “uneducated” area, their accents are “fake”? His generalizations show how little he knows about the rich and varied Southern culture. He should read Tennessee Williams, Eudora Welty or Truman Capote, or watch a documentary about the South. In other words, educate HIMSELF to keep from coming off as embarrassingly shallow in front of his relatives.

— Southern Yankee in Texas Dear Abby: The late Lewis Grizzard, an accomplished writer and comedian from Georgia, talked about the differences between Northerners and Southerners in his comedy show. My favorite line about our twang was, “GOD talks like we do.”

— Karlyle in Kentucky Dear Abby: I had lunch with the CEO of a major corporation.

‘Zen’ and the art of Rufus Sewell

By Luaine Lee PASADENA, Calif. — For actor Rufus Sewell it’s not the carefully orchestrated steps in life that make you shine.

It’s all the missteps.

“Everything I do that’s a strongly held belief is based on having learnt from doing the opposite,” he said.

“It’s how I’ve learned my craft is by getting things wrong. I think it’s very valuable to get things wrong if you can learn what you don’t want to do again.”

Ever since he braved the stage as a porter in “Macbeth,” Sewell has explored the consequences of his choices.

“I get more obstinate as I get older. I’ve just learned what makes me unhappy, and it’s always my fault in the end,” he said.

“There’s always some point you can trace it back to when you said ‘yes’ when you should’ve said ‘no,’ when you’re aware dimly of all the facts, but you choose not to look at them. In my experience there’s always that place I can point it embarrassingly back to, a point when I should’ve done something else — and for some reason didn’t.”

His credits — projects like “Dark City,” “Eleventh Hour,” “The Pillars of the Earth,” “The Tourist,” “A Knight’s Tale” contradict his premise.

So does his latest endeavor, the role of the smooth but determined Italian detective in the “Masterpiece Mystery!” production of “Zen,” which premiering July 17.

In “Zen,” Sewell exploits his dark, brooding looks as both seducer and sleuth. “The worst times are always immediately after I’ve made a leap in my work,” he said.

“I haven’t worked since ‘Zen’ and that was months ago.

That’s kind of self-imposed.

But not that self-imposed. I’m

Caterina Murino and Rufus Sewell star in the “Masterpiece Mystery” production of police thriller “Zen.” a fussy beggar, but not all that fussy. There’s plenty of things out there that I would’ve done if they’d come my way, but I think I have to turn the ship around in harbor and that’s never going to be a nimble move. I periodically have, every couple of years, and that is because every time I do a particular type of role — for some reason — people think that’s the kind of role I ought to do.

“Well, the expression of that role is me having done it. And I didn’t want to do something else.

So I’m sort of moving from one typecast to another. It’s like having a varied career except that every four years I’m offered the same kind of role. It’s fine, it just means I have to be prepared to be unemployed and sometimes that’s really hard.”

Sewell’s dad, who was an animator from Australia, died when Rufus was 10. “That was an enormous event but in ways that

I didn’t get to hear about until I was a fully grown man,” he said.

“You suddenly realize that why you did something yesterday has to do with something that happened 16 years before. I don’t know what it’s like for that not to happen. My mother’s response changed me. Because it’s quite possible that people can be very, very damaged by parents that stay together. That can be the source of people’s misery, and what screws people up when you have parents living in the same house.

I came from a not very wellto-do background but we were enormously privileged in many ways, just because of who my mom was, who my dad was. It was a very alive, culturally interesting place. I’ve become a survivor I always was because of the way my mum brought us up.”

In spite of all his concerns about being typecast, Sewell says he’s not so sure he actually

likes acting. “You only need to like it once — when you decide what you’re going to do for a living,” he said.

“And after that it’s a job, isn’t it? I like it but because I’m determined to like it. That’s why I sometimes have to sit and wait.

Because if I only did the stuff I was offered, I would not like it.

If I wanted only to do films, for example, then I’d always play the same kind of character and would I like it? No. So I should do something else. If I want to keep this job the thing that I always wanted to do, I have to be a lot more tenacious, dogged and stubborn and that means sometimes forcibly being unemployed until something good comes along.”

HAPPY BIRTHDAY for Tuesday, July 19, 2011: This year, tap into your creativity more often. Detach, and you’ll see unusual pathways and restrictions clear. Don’t wonder; rather, just explore. Travel and education could play significant roles. Some of you might publish or become involved with a spiritual group. If you are single, you will meet someone who elevates your mind and soul.

Decide if you want more. If you are attached, the two of you finally need to plan a long-coveted trip.

PISCES illuminates your day.

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 A touch of cynicism will take you far. A proposal that seems unbeatable probably needs to be investigated with greater care and concern. Express your reticence in the most effective way. You don’t want a strong reaction.

Tonight: Listen to the whispers.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) HHHHH You have a lot to smile about, but if you take someone for granted, you could be witness to a sore ego. Avoid a difficult situation, and deal with a money issue head-on. You might be right, but on the other hand, another person could be out of kilter, too.

Tonight: Where your friends are.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) HHH You have a style or way about you that sometimes attracts a lot of compliments. Do remember that you cannot control others, though

you might give it a shot. Frustration is the only long-term outcome.

Tonight: Till the wee hours.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) HHHH If you are in the mood, venture in a new direction and have a long-overdue conversation.

Explore various options before committing to any path. More knowledge cannot hurt, and will only create options and depth. Tonight: Return calls.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) HHHH Extend yourself in the friendliest manner possible. You need to understand your limits — where they end and where they begin. If someone says “halt,” it is most likely because he or she means just that. Tonight: The only answer is “yes.”

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) HHH Once more, continue letting others assume the role they want. Understand what is going on beyond the obvious.

Refuse to get caught up in a power play. Don’t allow people and/or a specific someone to push your buttons. Understand when enough is enough. Tonight: Sort through invitations.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) HHH While others react to their lives and issues, stay centered knowing what has to be done. This attitude will get you far, very far. Realize what is going on with someone at a distance. You could be far more fiery and intimidating than you realize. Tonight: Take in news.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) HHHH When used well, your

creativity solves issues, entices others and sometimes provokes a loved one. Be aware of this tendency to cause unnecessary problems. With the same creativity, you can prevent a problem.

Tonight: Relish the moment.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) HHH Your stability might be an asset. You are trying to deal with an issue involving home and family that is difficult at best.

Stop wondering just how far you can go — find out. Self-discipline proves to be necessary. Tonight: You cannot prevent someone from going up in smoke!

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) HHHH Use your strong sense or ability to verbalize. Plug in your energy, and focus it where it can and will make a difference.

Extremes mark your decisions.

Partners give you feedback.

Tonight: You don’t need to go far.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) HHH Your possessive side emerges, allowing greater giveand-take. Your ability to examine and touch base with real issues comes into play. A child or loved one is at best creating uproar.

Know when enough is enough and say so. Tonight: Pay bills first.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) HHHH Focus on the positive, knowing full well your attitude could change the direction of a major venture. Be willing to state your feelings. Others have a strong reaction, which you shouldn’t react to. Understand, but don’t play into it. Tonight: As you like it. © 2010 by King Features Syndicate

E6 Tuesday, July 19, 2011 • THE BULLETIN

Cream Continued from E1 In 1984, Pshigoda decided to investigate the breed for Pishion. What she learned was both shocking and hopeful.

She was shocked that the number of all draft horses in the United States had fallen from 98,000 in 1925 to 2,000 in 1950, according to U. S. Department of Agriculture statistics. They had been slaughtered following the arrival of the motorized tractor on the American farm, Pshigoda says.

The hopeful news was that 20 American Creams were still alive and registered.

“What I found set my feet on a path I have not departed from since the mid-1980s,” she says, “and changed my life forever.”

According to the American Cream Draft Horse Association — 28 breeders dedicated to its salvation — the registered Cream is the only draft horse uniquely American with a bloodline traced back to one horse: Old Granny, a mare foaled in Iowa around the turn of the 20th century. Those old Midwestern farmers, perhaps short on the science but long on real horse sense, recognized the virtues of Old Granny’s kin and began selectively breeding them.

They did their work well, according to the University of Kentucky Equine Blood Typing Lab, as Creams are as genetically distinct from other draft horses as Belgians are from Clydesdales.

Creams are large horses that stand up to 16.3 hands high and weigh up to 2,200 pounds. Their unique characteristics include their cream color, white mane and tail, and pink skin at birth that tans gray in the sun. Their amber eyes are their most captivating feature, Pshigoda says, the color of “sun through honey”.

Pshigoda bought her first stallion, Captain’s Barnabus Gold, known as Barney, in 1988. After buying two mares the following year, she began her breeding program in The Dalles. In 1993, she moved to Cream Acres, her 40-acre hay ranch northwest of Alfalfa where she has been breeding her horses ever since.

To keep her Creams as close to the land as possible, Pshigoda trains all her horses to do “all of the chores that make a crop like hay possible, the plowing, mowing and raking.” To see the highstepping Creams in the High Desert sun pulling a hay rake in their jangling traces is like stepping back in time, she says, and the horses give the work an oldfashioned dignity no gas-guzzling tractor can match.

Producing foals and working her horses were only two parts of her plan, however. She knew to save the breed there had to be demand for it. To help create that demand, she and her husband, Dave, decided to show their American Creams as much as possible. They did so for more than 20 years, winning innumerable ribbons, though they have taken the past two years off.

The highlight of their show year, however, was always the Oregon State Fair. There the Pshigodas’ would compete in several events with as many as three pairs of Creams pulling their various carts and wagons to the old “Gee!”, “Haw!”, and “Whoa!”

— calls familiar to countless generations of bygone teamsters.

But nothing could top the 1989 Oregon State Fair, she says, the

Hot cars Continued from E1 But every year, countless dogs pay the ultimate price because their guardians underestimate the danger of leaving a living being in a parked car. It doesn’t matter if it’s only slightly warm outside, if the windows are partially rolled down or if the vehicle is sitting in the shade: Parked cars are death traps for dogs.

A parked car can reach deadly temperature extremes faster than the time it takes to pick up a loaf of bread or dash into the bank to cash a check. On a 78degree day, the temperature inside a shaded car is 90 degrees, and the inside of a car parked in the sun can reach 160 degrees in a matter of minutes.

Hot cars are especially dangerous for dogs because they cannot regulate their body temperature as efficiently as humans can.

We can roll down the windows, blast the air conditioning, shed layers of clothing and sweat, but dogs can only cool themselves

first year Barney was chosen the state’s Grand Champion Draft Horse Stallion. He went on to win the award for 10 consecutive years and retired undefeated.

Barney has made a prodigious contribution to saving his breed.

According to American Cream Draft Horse Association records, he has added 72 foals to the national registry, more than any other stallion in the country, and his bloodline is now found from coast to coast. Cream Acres is the largest American Cream breeder in the country, Pshigoda says.

The number of registered American Creams has increased from the 20 when she started breeding them to more than 500 today. And while they are no lon-

by panting and perspiring tiny amounts through their footpads.

With only hot air to breathe, panting doesn’t work, so panic sets in for many dogs. Their desperate attempts to escape the roasting-hot vehicle by clawing at the windows or digging at the floor or seats only makes the animals hotter. Collapse, vomiting, diarrhea and loss of consciousness soon occur as the dog’s organs begin to die. Some dogs have heart attacks.

According to Plano, Texas, veterinarian Shawn Messonnier, “When you do an autopsy on a dog (who) died this way, the organs are soupy.”

Even if they survive close calls in hot cars, dogs may sustain severe organ damage, which requires extensive and costly veterinary treatment. And as shown by the three cases mentioned above, people who bake their dogs also have a price to pay-in criminal charges, jail time, fines and extreme guilt.

Please, when you’re out and about this summer, be on the lookout for dogs who are trapped

ger considered virtually extinct, the American Livestock Breeds Conservancy and the Equus Survival Trust still have the American Cream listed as “critically endangered.”

Lynn Miller, the Small Farm Journal publisher, praises Pshigoda’s “critical sensitivity to the Cream’s natural attributes and her long, hard work to reverse its endangered breed status.”

Pishion, now 89 years old and still horse farming near The Dalles, is unequivocal about Pshigoda: “The Creams were on the brink of extinction,” he says, “and she brought them back to life.”

in hot cars. If you see one, have the owner paged inside the store or call local animal control authorities or police immediately.

Every second counts, and you are that dog’s only hope.

If a dog is showing signs of heatstroke-restlessness, excessive thirst, heavy panting, lethargy, dark tongue, vomiting or lack of appetite and coordination – get him or her into the shade immediately and call 911.

Lower the animal’s body temperature gradually by providing water to drink; applying a cold towel or ice pack to the head, neck and chest; or immersing the dog in lukewarm (not icecold) water. Rush the dog to a veterinarian.

And whatever you do, don’t put your best friend through suffering that most people wouldn’t wish on their worst enemy. Leave animals at home, where they will be cool, safe and happy – and where they’ll be waiting for you when you return.

T

he U.S. Department of Agriculture believes that you’re going to consume at least 20 heads of garlic this year. According to the department’s calculations, garlic consumption soared over the last 20 years, hitting a record-high of 3 pounds per person in 1999, then settling in at a respectable 2.6 pounds in 2008. That’s three times the level back in 1989, a growth spurt that has eclipsed the rise in popularity of other likeable vegetables such as sweet peppers, carrots and broccoli.

Garlic’s popularity reflects a shift in cooking styles and preferences: Ethnic foods are hot, for one thing. Additionally, people may believe reports that publicize the health benefits of garlic — high in antioxidants and good at reducing cholesterol and blood pressure levels — which in turn have generated sales for the health supplement industry.

My garlic-consuming habits alone can compensate for several cooks who may be steering clear of this dynamic member of the onion family.

Right now, fresh-from-the-field garlic is at its peak, and very available at local farmers markets.

TENDERLOIN OF BEEF WITH ARUGULA AND CHERRY TOMATOES IN ROASTED GARLIC VINAIGRETTE, WITH MARINATED AND GRILLED VEGETABLES

Continued from F1 I love it at this stage, when growers are likely to sell it with the long stems and leggy leaves still attached, great globs of dirt clinging to the roots — and the moisture within the bulbs all but oozing out. The skin hasn’t even dried to the papery thin layer you find later on in the supermarket, so peeling the bulbs is truly optional. And its flavor is slightly less pungent than it will be once the moisture has left.

Storage? As long as it’s so moist and tender, I opt for the fridge. But it will survive just fine in your pantry. But why not make storage a moot issue by simply cooking like crazy with what you’ve brought into the kitchen? Here are a few ideas.

This makes a wonderful early summer meal, when the newcrop garlic is easily obtained. It’s from my newest cookbook, “Oregon Hazelnut Country — the Food, the Drink, the Spirit,” and is a smashing crowd-pleaser. Trust me!

Roasted garlic cloves are a great addition to Caesar salad.

CAESAR SALAD WITH ROASTED GARLIC CLOVES Makes 8 servings.

The first time I was treated to roasted garlic cloves in my Caesar salad was several years ago in San Francisco, Calif. I’ve been a fan of this particular garnish ever since and use it with my own Caesar salad.

If you want a dynamite Caesar salad, remember to use only the very crisp and tender center portions (the heart) of the romaine lettuce. This means that for a salad serving more than four people, you’ll have to buy two or more heads. Reserve the dark green outer leaves for another night’s meal.

4 lg heads of romaine lettuce (or 4 hearts of romaine) Salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste Caesar Salad Dressing

Wash the lettuce leaves, dry them thoroughly, then break into 2- to 3-inch-long pieces. Place them in a bowl and cover with damp paper towels and return to the refrigerator to chill. When ready to serve, add the lettuce leaves to a large salad bowl and sprinkle them generously with salt

and freshly ground pepper. Toss with most of the dressing. Add the Parmesan and fresh croutons and toss until all the lettuce and croutons are evenly coated, adding more dressing if necessary. Sprinkle with the roasted garlic cloves and serve immediately.

FRESH CROUTONS 1 loaf sourdough or good quality French bread ⁄3 C butter 1 tsp Worcestershire sauce

1

½ tsp Dijon mustard

Cut the bread into ¾-inch cubes, crust and all. Cut enough to measure about 4 cups. Melt together butter, Worcestershire sauce and Dijon mustard. Place the cubes of bread in a large bowl and drizzle the butter mixture over the cubes. Toss with hands or salad tongs to coat each cube of bread with some of the butter mixture. Spread the bread cubes out onto a baking sheet and bake in a 350 degree oven for about 15 minutes or until golden. The croutons may be prepared ahead and stored in a plastic bag for several days, or frozen for several weeks.

CAESAR SALAD DRESSING 1 fresh egg ¼ C fresh-squeezed lemon juice 1 TBS minced fresh garlic 1 TBS Dijon mustard 2 tsp Worcestershire sauce Several dashes of Tabasco 1 to 2 tsp anchovy puree (or 1 smashed anchovy fillet) ¾ C extra-virgin olive oil Bring a fresh egg to room temperature for about 15 minutes, then place it in a small bowl.

Pour boiling hot water over the egg and allow it to stand for 90 seconds in the hot water (this is called “coddling”).

Drain the water off the egg, then crack it into a bowl and combine with fresh-squeezed lemon juice, minced fresh garlic, mustard, Worcestershire sauce and several dashes of Tabasco.

Whisk until well blended, then whisk anchovy puree (or smashed anchovy fillet) into the mixture.

Slowly whisk in extra-virgin olive oil. The dressing may be prepared several hours ahead and refrigerated (whisk well before using).

ROASTED GARLIC VINAIGRETTE Makes about 21⁄4 cups.

3 heads of garlic, unpeeled 3 TBS extra-virgin olive oil 2 tsp Dijon mustard ¼ C red-wine vinegar

¼ C balsamic vinegar 1¼ C olive oil Salt and pepper

Cut the top ¼-inch off each head of garlic (the stem end, not the root end). On a large square of foil, pour three puddles of olive oil, then plop each head down into one of the puddles, cut-side down. Loosely wrap the foil up around the sides of the garlic, leaving it open at the top.

Roast the garlic in a 350 degree oven for 30 to 45 minutes, or until very soft when pressed on the side. Unwrap the garlic heads and let them cool thoroughly for easier handling; reserve olive oil on the foil to use in the vinaigrette. Squeeze the roasted garlic from each head.

Add the garlic to a blender or food processor and blend together with the mustard, vinegars, salt and pepper. With motor running, add the olive oil that cooked with the garlic, scraping as much of the cooked-on bits of garlic as you can into the blender. Continue adding the remaining 1¼ cups of oil in a very thin stream and blend until the mixture is creamy and slightly thickened. This vinaigrette may be made up to one week ahead, refrigerated in a tightly sealed jar.

MARINATED AND GRILLED VEGGIES & HAZELNUTS Makes 4 servings.

A great accompaniment to the recipe for Tenderloin of Beef above. This is my all-time favorite way to grill a pile of fresh vegetables. After marinating the vegetables in my zesty marinade for an hour or two, I drain them and simply stir-fry them over charcoal or a gas grill. This requires a special grilling pan with medium holes so that small pieces of food won’t fall through during cooking. If you don’t have one, this is the perfect excuse to make the purchase. depending on size) 1 red bell pepper, seeded and cut in strips 1 yellow bell pepper, seeded and cut in strips 1 sweet onion, cut into thin strips or rings Other fresh vegetables of the season, such as summer squash or asparagus spears (remove tough lower portion, then cut into 1-inch pieces) 1 C roasted, peeled and coarsely chopped hazelnuts (optional)

Combine the vinegar, wine, soy sauce, Worcestershire sauce, salt, pepper, garlic and olive oil. Place the vegetables in one large container or two zip-close plastic bags. Pour the marinade over the vegetables and marinate for 1 to 2 hours.

When ready to cook, remove the vegetables from the marinade (the marinade will keep for a couple of weeks, so refrigerate in a sealed jar for another round of veggies within that time frame).

Place the grill pan on top of the grill grate over hot coals or gas flame and let it heat through. Add the vegetables and let them cook, turning and tossing the veggies — as you would for a stir-fry, only slower — until they’re lightly golden and cooked through. Remove from heat. If desired, toss in the hazelnuts before serving.

Remove the beef from the refrigerator 30 minutes before grilling to allow the meat to reach room temperature (for even grilling).

Season the meat with salt and pepper, then grill the beef over hot coals, turning once, and grilling to desired degree of doneness (140 degrees for medium-rare), which will take approximately 20 to 25 minutes. Remove from the grill and let the beef cool a bit (for about 25 minutes) before slicing and serving. The tenderloin may be grilled up to two days ahead and refrigerated until ready to serve.

To serve, arrange a small handful of the arugula in the center of each dinner plate, then drizzle some of the Roasted Garlic Vinaigrette on top. Cut the tenderloin into thin slices and arrange serving portions on each plate on top of the arugula. Place the tomatoes in a bowl and toss with some of the vinaigrette, then divide the tomatoes between the plates, arranging the tomatoes alongside the arugula, not on top. Place a serving of the Marinated and Grilled Veggies & Hazelnuts on the other side of the plate, opposite the tomatoes. Serve additional vinaigrette at the table.

And would freezing concentrate the sugar in the fruit?

Freezing fruit until you have time to make jam is a great trick in the summer, when all the fruit seems to arrive at once. I have friends who always do that when they’re buried in figs.

I don’t think that freezing the fruit first would actually make better jam. While the cell walls are punctured, making the fruit softer after it’s thawed, that shouldn’t make a big difference in cooking time. And freezing won’t reduce the fruit’s juice the way cooking does, so it shouldn’t concentrate the natural sugar.

The softening action of the

A:

freezer actually makes it important to measure the fruit before you freeze it. Since most fruit, particularly berries, does collapse when thawed, it can be difficult to get an accurate measurement for adding sugar and pectin.

You also can save even more time and simply use all that fruit to make freezer jam. Most packages of pectin include recipes for it, or you can find powdered pectin that’s formulated specifically for making freezer jam with less sugar.

F ROASTED GARLIC DIPPING SAUCE WITH FRESH GINGER AND SOY SAUCE Makes about 3 cups.

I served this wonderful dipping sauce at a wine dinner one summer for 150 people. Large platters of the sauce were surrounded by slices of freshly baked artisan breads. What a treat!

1 lg head fresh garlic 2 C extra-virgin olive oil, divided ½ C balsamic vinegar 1 TBS soy sauce 2 tsp freshly shredded/grated ginger ½ tsp toasted sesame oil Prepare the garlic for roasting by cutting it in half horizontally (through the plumpest portion of the cloves), keeping each half intact. Place the halves, cut sides down, in a baking dish, layered with ¼ cup of the olive oil. Roast in a 350 degree oven until tender and golden, about 30 minutes. Remove from oven and let cool.

To assemble the sauce, squeeze the garlic bulbs from the skins back into the roasting dish with the roasting oil.

Smash the cloves into small bits (leaving some in chunks is perfectly OK).

Scrape the mixture into a bowl and stir in the vinegar, soy sauce, ginger and sesame oil.

Add the remaining 1¾ cup olive oil. This may be prepared several days ahead and refrigerated. Bring the sauce to room temperature before serving.

Ladle into shallow platters and surround with chunks or slices of good quality, crusty bread.

Consider serving with a drystyle Gewürztraminer. There are many lovely ones produced in the mid-Willamette Valley, such as Tyee Wine Cellars, Lumos Wine Company, Eola Hills, Airlie Vineyards and Spindrift Cellars. If you’d like to include a red, go with a nice fruity Rogue Valley Syrah. Abacela and Del Rio both produce wonderful ones.

Blue cheese variation: Just before serving, gently heat the sauce in a skillet until warmed through. Pour the mixture into shallow platters and sprinkle with about 8 ounces of crumbled blue cheese (divide that amount of cheese between the platters). The cheese will melt slightly and merge with the sauce. In this variation, a sturdy pinot gris or a cabernet sauvignon with be a wonderful complement to the earthy flavors in the blue cheese.

ROASTED GARLIC PUREE Makes about 1 cup of puree.

This is really good stuff! For starters, it keeps for weeks and weeks in your refrigerator. As an appetizer, smear a bit of it on crunchy crostini or baguette slices and top with a bit of diced tomato and chopped basil. Or simply spoon some of it into a small bowl and serve it alongside sliced baguettes or crackers for an even simpler appetizer. It’s also a great flavoring for various vegetable or chicken sautes, and even makes a great spread on sandwiches and hamburgers.

ENTER THE SANDWICH

A meal bred for hot evenings

By Tony Rosenfeld

TURKEY SANDWICHES WITH SMOKED GOUDA, PICKLED RED ONION AND CHERRIES

Special to The Washington Post

Making sandwiches for dinner sounds inherently modest, if not a little lazy. What, you didn’t want to cook? the family might ask.

Well, yeah, not really. Not in the heat of summer.

Compound this dinner/sandwich situation by completely eschewing all forms of cooking — not even deigning to toast a slice of bread — and the meal would only further appear to wave a flag of culinary surrender.

Is it giving in, though?

Sure, there are all sorts of boring sandwiches that can truly bum out a dinner table. But, like many other simple food preparations, sandwiches can be so much more: jazzy, worldly, fresh.

The trick to elevating traditional stacks to special status, especially without the aid of cooking, is to think beyond turkey on whole wheat. Call on unexpected, worldly pairings, make the sandwiches seasonal and vegetable-heavy, and be generous with acidic ingredients (such as citrus or vinegar) to give them tang and vibrancy.

You can start by reworking what’s sandwiched, which often is some sort of meat. Go vegetarian with chickpeas (themselves a rather meaty legume). Mash them with jarred piquillo peppers, lemon juice and olive oil, and stuff this Iberian mixture into pitas with dressed arugula and feta.

Or give the Vietnamese staple banh mi a twist by calling on roast beef and a spicy Sriracha aioli. Tuck the meat into a section of baguette and top with a tangle of daikon and carrot ribbons.

Even plain old roasted turkey breast has a place in this fresh formula. Give it a boost with the distinctive combination of pickled red onions, smoked gouda and fresh cherries.

Tote these sandwiches to the dinner table with the assurance of a thoughtful cook. They did not command hours of prep time, but they are filled with summer’s best and inspiration from around the globe, making them just the thing for the warm nights to come.

Tony Rosenfeld is the author, most recently, of “Sear, Sauce and Serve” (Running Press, 2011).

Makes 4 servings.

1 sm red onion, cut into very thin slices 1 TBS sugar Kosher salt 1 ⁄4 C red wine vinegar 8 thick slices crusty sourdough bread 1 ⁄4 C whole-grain mustard 3 ⁄4 lb thinly sliced roasted turkey breast 4 oz smoked Gouda, cut into very thin slices 3 C (about 2 oz) baby spinach leaves, stemmed 1 C (12 to 16) pitted dark-red cherries, mashed or coarsely chopped

Though a soft baguette is traditional with this sandwich, something a little crustier works well with this variation.

ROAST BEEF BANH MI WITH SRIRACHA AIOLI Makes 4 servings.

Roast beef, plain and staid, takes nicely to the intense, pickled flavors in this Vietnamese sandwich.

FOR THE SANDWICHES: One 6-oz piece peeled daikon radish 2 med (6 oz total) carrots 2 TBS rice wine vinegar 1 TBS sugar Generous 1⁄4 teaspoon kosher salt 1 ⁄2 bunch (about 13⁄4 oz) cilantro, washed and torn into small sprigs (discarding larger stems) 1 lg whole-wheat baguette, cut into 4 equal sections, each section then cut in half

horizontally ⁄4 lb thinly sliced roast beef, preferably medium-rare FOR THE AIOLI: 1 ⁄3 C regular or low-fat mayonnaise, or more to taste 1 TBS Thai chili paste, such as Sriracha, or more to taste 1 tsp freshly squeezed lime juice, or more to taste 1 tsp fish sauce, or more to taste 1 clove garlic, minced, or more to taste

3

For the sandwich: Use a vegetable peeler (preferably Y-shaped) to shave the daikon and carrot into strips; try to use a little pressure to create slightly thicker shavings. Place the strips in a large bowl; toss with the rice vinegar, sugar and salt. Let sit for 15 minutes, tossing occasionally. Drain off most of the vinegar mixture, then add the cilantro and toss to incorporate.

For the aioli: Whisk together the mayonnaise, Thai chili paste, lime juice, fish sauce and garlic in a small bowl. Taste and adjust as needed.

To assemble, spread the aioli on the cut sides of the bread. Layer the roast beef on 4 of the baguette sections, then top the meat with equal amounts of the pickled vegetable mixture. Use the 4 baguette sections to complete each sandwich.

Toss together the onion, sugar and a generous sprinkling of salt (about 1 teaspoon) in a medium bowl; let sit for 5 minutes so the onion wilts a bit.

Stir in the vinegar; let sit for 10 minutes so the vinegar infuses the onions, and the sugar and salt have dissolved.

To assemble the sandwiches, top 4 slices of the bread with a thin coating of mustard. In the following order, layer the turkey, smoked Gouda, some spinach leaves and the cherries, then top each portion with one of the remaining slices of bread.

Serve immediately, or wrap tightly in plastic wrap and refrigerate for no more than 2 hours before serving.

Fresh cherries might not be an option for topping turkey sandwiches at the local deli, but they’re the perfect sweet counterpoint to the sharp pickled onions and smoky cheese used here.

STUFFED PITAS

Find It All Online Makes 4 servings.

3 oz baby arugula (about 3 C) 5 oz feta cheese, crumbled 3 TBS olive oil Finely grated zest and freshly squeezed juice of 1 ⁄2 lemon Kosher salt

bendbulletin.com Fresh ground black pepper 151⁄2 oz (about 2 C) canned no-salt-added chickpeas, rinsed and drained well 3 jarred piquillo peppers, drained, then cut into 1⁄2 inch dice (may substitute 1 jarred roasted red

Toss the arugula with the feta, 1 tablespoon of the oil, the lemon juice (to taste) and salt and pepper to taste (about 1⁄2 teaspoon each) in a large bowl. Let sit for 5 minutes.

Meanwhile, combine the chickpeas and diced pepper in a medium bowl. Use the back of a large metal spoon to mash the chickpeas against the sides of the bowl. Stir in the remaining 2 tablespoons of oil, the lemon zest, cumin and the paprika, if using. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Mash the chickpeas a bit more, then sprinkle the thyme over the mixture.

Cut off the top inch or so of each pita bread to create a pocket. Spoon equal amounts of the chickpea mixture into each pita, then stuff with the arugula-feta mixture. Serve immediately.

Living it up in a loft

Bon Ami Continued from F1 Over the past few decades, other brands have ventured into the green cleaning niche.

Between the nostalgia and environmental factors, Bon Ami has developed a bit of a cult following.

Carolyn Beaham West, brand ambassador for Bon Ami, said the company received a lot of feedback from customers through letters, Facebook postings and even a love song on YouTube.

“When I say I work for Bon Ami, people are like: ‘Oh, my grandmother showed me how to use that. I remember sitting in her kitchen as she showed me how to clean,’ ” she said. “As a brand, we have a sweet spot in the marketplace because people have got such strong memories.”

The company’s product line now includes dish soap, liquid and powder cleansers and an allpurpose cleaning spray. For its anniversary it brought back an 1886 original: the cleaning cake.

A household staple in the 19th century, the cake is rubbed with a damp cloth, which is then used to polish away dirt. A limited run of 1,886 of the soap bar-sized cakes were made this year.

Beaham West said the cake was originally an alternative to harsh scouring powders. The company stuck with its all-natural formulas since its inception, even through the chemical revolution of the 1950s.

That green mind-set is reflected from the inside out.

Brian Dougherty is the founder of the California-based Celery Design Collaborative, which created sustainable packaging for Bon Ami. The bottles are all made from 100 percent recycled — not just recyclable — plastic. The

He said the vintage designs popular for cleaning products right now are an attempt to make people feel safer about what they’re using. But he said there is a difference between timelessness and kitsch.

“Bon Ami has stuck to its values. It does its thing, and it does it

well,” he said. “It’s different from typical consumer product models that try to be everything … for every market segment.”

Beaham West acknowledged the company’s market share decreased with the introduction of chemical cleaners. But though Bon Ami’s following may be small, it’s very loyal.

“After World War II ... you

could suddenly spray something, and it would get clean before your eyes. With Bon Ami, you still had to use elbow grease,” she said. “Then people started to think beyond their own sink. If it’s blasting away dirt from my sink, what is that doing to the environment?”

Once the green movement started in the 1960s and ’70s,

some consumers started shifting back to gentler alternatives like Bon Ami. “It’s exciting to spray something and watch it obliterate dirt, until you realize if you touch it, it will burn your hand,” she said. “There are harsh chemical cleansers that have their uses ... but you don’t need to have a sledgehammer to tap a surface.”

Before painting stucco, be sure surface is sound

By Al Heavens The Philadelphia Inquirer

Here are more painting tips, this time about stucco, for which I get many, many questions, especially from Philadelphians living in a row that is a house or two short, with party walls that need repainting.

I turn, as usual, to Debbie Zimmer at the Dow Chemical Paint Quality Institute. She says stucco can be successfully painted by following certain procedures.

As with most painting projects, surface preparation is key.

“Start by making sure that the surface of your stucco is sound,” Zimmer said. “It should be free of dirt and powdery dust, and rough enough so that your primer and paint will adhere well.”

You can accomplish both objectives by cleaning and roughening the surface with a stiff bristle brush, wire brush, or — if your stucco has been long neglected — a sandblaster.

Follow up with a thorough rinsing.

The next step depends upon the age and condition of your stucco. Unpainted stucco that is

“Start by making sure that the surface of your stucco is sound It should be free of dirt and powdery dust, and rough enough so that your primer and paint will adhere well.”

— Debbie Zimmer, Dow Chemical Paint Quality Institute

very new or less than a year old presents special challenges.

For one thing, it may still contain moisture from the original

mixing; for another, it may have a high degree of alkalinity.

These possibilities have implications for the coatings you use,

Zimmer said. If you plan to apply an oil-based or vinyl waterbased paint, you must first apply an alkaline-resistant sealer or risk having the paint fail prematurely.

But you might be able to skip this step, she said. “If you are going to use top-quality 100 percent acrylic latex paint, you can often apply it directly to the stucco, since these paints resist the alkaline nature of fresh masonry.”

The exception: When painting stucco that is less than a month old, you should still apply an alkaline-resistant primer or sealer.

Weathered stucco that is unpainted or previously painted involves other considerations.

If you see efflorescence — white, crusty salt deposits — on your stucco, you must remove it during surface preparation by scraping, wire-brushing, or sandblasting.

Even if your stucco shows a slight tendency to produce efflorescence — or if it is very porous or “chalky” — you should apply a sealer or latex block filler before painting.

When applying any type of latex coating to your stucco — sealer, block filler, or paint — you should dampen the surface immediately beforehand. This will allow the coating to dry more slowly, which in turn, will enable it to form a more durable protective film.

What if the stucco is badly cracked? In that case, the best option is to call in a painting contractor with experience applying “elastomeric wall coatings” — very thick, highly flexible paints that are designed to bridge and seal cracks to keep moisture out of the home.

Like other paints, elastomeric coatings come in a wide range of colors, but it takes special training to apply them properly.

Q:

About four years ago, we had a stainless steel liner installed in our chimney.

Mortar continued to fall out, so the upper half of the chimney was rebuilt and the lower half removed to a one-inch depth and then repointed. About three months later, we had the brick work sealed to keep out moisture.

Ever since, we have noticed a stain forming down from the area of the liner. There is no rust

on the liner cap, and we do not use the fireplace so it can’t be coming from there. Any ideas?

From what I’ve been able to find out, there is moisture in the flue and, because the liner isn’t properly sealed, the stain is appearing.

I’d suggest a call back to have the liner installer seal it properly.

Q:

We’ve bought a 5-yearold house in Winter Haven, Fla. The driveway is all brick and very nice. However, the brick is half an inch higher than the start of the garage-door floor.

This works OK, except at the left corner of the garage door, where water pools and then flows into the garage, forming a large puddle.

Do you have any solutions for this? The seal seems OK on the rest of the double-car garage.

You have a problem that needs to be addressed, and that might involve lowering the bricks so that water will flow away from the garage and not into it. A Florida hurricane could turn a little water ponding in a corner into a much bigger issue.

Maybe the brick can be cut down a half-inch at the left corner so that water will drain away from the garage at that point — if it has a place in which to drain.

That may be another issue you need to have addressed.

Check with a driveway contractor to see if this can be done.

Q:

I have five glass block windows in my house, which was built in the late 1940s or early ’50s. They are the source of very cold air that penetrates all through our main floor. I don’t want to replace the glass blocks, but aside from raising the thermostat — which would dry out the house and increase our energy bills — is there a way to stop the drafts?

What’s the mortar between the blocks look like?

Most sources I’ve checked say the mortar tends to dry out or crack, allowing cold air to flow in and warm, out.

A white or clear silicone sealant is suggested. Wipe the excess away quickly.

MINNEAPOLIS — Ann Kincaid always wanted a room at the top. She got her wish 25 years after she bought a loft in the historic Itasca building.

Kincaid, who was one of the first tenants, had her pick of the condos in the massive brick warehouse that was renovated in the 1980s, 100 years after it was built. Kincaid chose a one-bedroom, 1,050-square-foot unit on the top floor of the six-story building, one of Minneapolis’ first loft-conversion projects.

“I loved the feeling of the open warehouse with the tall ceilings and exposed bricks,” said Kincaid. “I’d never seen that before in Minneapolis.”

While her compact balcony offered views of the Mississippi River, she longed for a space where she could “be under the stars and in the sun all year long.” So she added a clause to her purchase agreement that gave her access to the roof and approval to build a deck—someday.

In 1999, Kincaid bought the condo next to hers, which was nearly identical in layout and size. She planned to double the size of her unit — someday. It wasn’t until 2009 that the renovation planets aligned: Her renter moved out, she’d managed to save enough for a remodel and she found the right architect, Christine Albertsson of Albertsson Hansen Architecture in Minneapolis.

With Albertsson’s help, Kincaid combined her original condo with her rental unit next door, creating a single cohesive living space that would, of course, include a staircase to the hoped-for rooftop retreat.

Albertsson gutted both units and rebuilt them in a way that preserved the warehouse’s exposed brickwork and massive ceiling purlins.

“It’s about not hiding the workings of the building,” said Albertsson. “We wanted to create an industrial aesthetic.”

Public and private In the new configuration, one side houses the public spaces, the other the private.

The public space includes a kitchen, dining room, living room and a library, which Kincaid can convert into a guest bedroom. Rich red oak flooring warms up the tallceilinged open spaces. The new galley-style kitchen, outfitted with clean-leaned oak Ikea cabinets, is wide enough for several people to prepare food at Thanksgiving. “I was surprised when Christine suggested Ikea cabinets,” said Kincaid. “But I really like how they look.”

The private space is given over to Kincaid’s generoussized bedroom suite, which boasts a wall of built-in bookshelves and a minimalist metal wood-burning fireplace.

Kincaid, an avid traveler, uses part of the bedroom as a trip-planning center. The well-appointed bathroom has in-floor heat, a walk in-shower and a huge closet lit by the building’s original skylight.

In the center of the combined condo, Albertsson built a U-shaped staircase leading to the roof, where she created two spaces — a sky-blue-colored sunroom and an openair deck, which holds pots of blooming daylilies and tomatoes.

The added weight of the rooftop construction was one of many technical details Albertsson faced in the renovation. She raised the floor one foot to create space for a layer of soundproofing insulation and for electrical and plumbing.

“This project has so many layers, including the technical challenges,” said Albertsson.

“I really enjoyed that.”

MORE TIPS FOR THE HEAT

Watering plants: how and when

By Nancy O’Donnell

For our school garden at Hoosic Valley, N.Y., the kids are going to spread straw (not hay; it contains weed seeds) around the plants. This will actually serve a number of purposes; again it will restrict evaporation so the soil stays cooler and retains moisture longer, it will help control weeds and it will help keep their prized harvests from coming in direct contact with the ground, which helps to deter insects from burrowing up inside and rot from occurring.

Albany Times Union

It’s impossible to tell how much rain we will be getting this summer, and we know the sun worshippers and die-hard gardeners need to find a happy medium between them of sun and rain.

What can we as gardeners do to help Mother Nature out should she turn the faucet off? Here’s a checklist:

New plant purchases

bated by the area’s traditionally cold spring temperatures and moisture. Snow mold is generally found on the north sides of houses, where the sun doesn’t hit as often and where the area remains largely in the shade.

Snow mold and some other fungus-related brown spots can be treated with a fungicide, Stephenson said.

If you are considering adding to your existing landscape or this is the year to start from scratch and plant, keep the old adage “marry the plant to the location” in mind. Plants that are matched to their preferred soil, moisture and exposure requirements require little gardener intervention to thrive. For example, do not plant ferns in a dry location and full sun; you will be there morning, noon and night trying (and unsuccessfully I might add) to satisfy that plant’s needs.

Same holds true for a plant that requires well-drained soil and despises “wet feet,” such as lavender or Daphne. If you plant them where the soil is consistently moist, they will prove to you over and over again that they are not happy in that location.

Animals

Mulching

Finally, make sure dogs or other animals aren’t killing your grass. If your neighbors’ dog makes regular potty stops on your grass, brown spots will soon develop from the urine, causing nitrogen burns. Female dogs cause more severe damage, Stephenson said, because their urine tends to be concentrated in a smaller area.

“Deer and elk can also cause damage with their waste,” Stephenson said. “If there is some reason they are regularly congregating on your lawn, they will cause brown spots when the grass starts to grow.”

Regardless of where the brown spots are located, there is probably a good reason why they develop in the first place. Try some of these suggestions, and before you know it, those brown spots may be gone.

If you mulch, you will kill three birds with one stone. For starters, the soil below will retain moisture and stay cooler because evaporation will be reduced (the sun won’t be hitting it). Then there’s the beauty of far fewer weed seeds germinating because the layer of mulch will exhaust their stored food supply before they reach the surface.

The trick here is the depth of the mulch. When applying for the first time, the rule of thumb

Ryan Brennecke / The Bulletin

Dry, brown spots on a lawn can have several causes, from wayward pets to insects or mold. A green lawn starts with early, systematic deep watering to train the grass to grow deep roots.

Lawns Continued from F1 “Most people water their lawns too frequently and not enough,” Popampa said. “That results in a shallow root system, and not much retained moisture at deeper levels. Then, when the hot weather hits, the roots don’t go down far enough to keep the plants hydrated. And grass in certain parts of the lawn will dry out faster than in other places.”

Grass in full sun will use more water and dry out more quickly, he said, and areas that constantly get wind will dehydrate faster than in more protected areas.

To help your grass develop an extensive root system, Popampa recommends watering deeply and less often.

“You should put about 1 inch of water down every time you water, and let the lawn go two to three days before watering again,” Popampa recommends.

“Watering every other day is too soon.”

Location Another consideration is where the grass is located. If a brown area develops in a windy area, Popampa suggests finding time to water when the wind is least likely to gust.

“The best time to water your lawn is in the morning, and don’t water when it is windy because

the water gets blown off target,” Popampa advised. “Check the trees and shrubs around a sprinkler to make sure they haven’t grown up and are blocking the water flow.”

Another recommendation might be to aerate the lawn if large brown spots are developing, because that allows the water and nutrients to get down to the roots. A lawn can be aerated at any time of the year, Popampa said.

Insects There could be other contributors to the dry areas beyond watering, according to Linda Stephenson, owner of L&S Gardens in La Pine.

“Insects can cause brown spots,” she said. “Walk through the dry area in the evening, and if you disturb what looks like small, white moths, then you may have a bug problem.”

Effectively treating insects in the turf requires a two-step pesticide program, Stephenson said.

The moths should be sprayed with a liquid spray first, then granular insecticide should be applied to kill the larva.

Mold Mold or fungus is also a common cause of lawn brown spots in Central Oregon, Stephenson said. A common problem is snow mold, which is exacer-

Though the watering can may have some charm, if you’re watering at night, consider soaker hoses. is three inches maximum. Here, more is not better; when we overmulch, the mulch acts as a rain barrier. Its weight compacts on itself and a barrier forms, keeping the rain from being able to penetrate.

Compacted mulch will display a thin white mold line (the moisture barrier) about halfway down if you dig an area and look. This is why even if you aren’t adding mulch; it’s recommended you scuff existing mulch once a year.

If you want to apply a top layer to freshen your beds, either make it thin so the 3-inch rule is not violated or scuff the old into the soil to decompose and add to the organic matter, rake smooth and then apply a new layer of mulch.

Keep in mind, stone mulch absorbs heat as does the really dark bark mulch. There is nothing wrong with using them, just be aware of their tendencies. For example, stone mulch heats up so well, it works great for weed-free walkways (the seedlings bake from the heat).

When to water is the age old question. Even though early morning or late afternoon has always been the recommendation, how you water gives you a bit more freedom to that schedule.

What you need to remember is, the foliage should have enough time to dry before nightfall, and so if you are watering overhead with sprinklers, then you must aim for a time-frame where your plant’s leaves are able to dry before dark. Wet foliage is an invitation to both insects and disease.

If watering at night is your only opportunity, consider soaker hoses that weep moisture rather than spray. This style of soaker hose can basically be used whenever watering is convenient for the gardener since the water is directed at the root zone.

Another drawback to overhead watering is the amount of water lost to evaporation. For lawns there is no alternative but a perennial bed with an overhead sprinkler has been found to lose well over 50 percent of the water applied to evaporation either on the leaves or before it’s ever able to cascade down to the soil level from the perennial’s canopy.

Over the course of a growing season this can tally up to a substantial amount of wasted water.

Gardening au naturel deepens connection to Earth, nudist says

Sand & Gravel

By Mary Beth Breckenridge Akron Beacon Journal

I think I’m pretty comfortable in my own skin.

I’m just not comfortable in only my own skin.

I feel exposed in a sleeveless shirt. So to me, the idea of nude gardening seems a little, well, out there.

But Pat Brown is different.

Brown is a past president of the American Association for Nude Recreation (www.aanr .com), an organization that advocates the opportunity to pursue recreational activities in the buff.

When I called the association seeking someone to talk about its annual World Naked Gardening Day, it put me in contact with the amiable and articulate Brown.

(Actually, I missed World Naked Gardening Day this year.

It was May 14, and that just seemed a little early for going au naturel in northeast Ohio.

Brown, who spends part of the year in Oregon, laughed about that observation. “It’s early for Oregon also,” she said.)

Brown said she’s been a gardener for years and a nudist since the early ’80s. So pairing the two was natural, so to speak.

She and her husband split their time between a nudist club in Oregon, which is out of public view, and their home in Southern California, where their backyard is walled. Either place, they can bare it all out of the eyesight of unsuspecting onlookers.

It’s not that she’s embarrassed to be seen weeding in the nude, she explained. It’s just that she

— Pat Brown, past president of the American Association for Nude Recreation a public endeavor. Privacy is a must, which is why she donned clothing when she used to help in her mother’s condominium garden.

In fact, the nude recreation association’s mission statement emphasizes the importance of appropriate settings, Brown noted. “Certainly, the ability to do this without offending others is an important part of this,” she said.

Guess that rules out my backyard. Whew.

Naked gardening does have its practical benefits, Brown pointed out. Cleanup, after all, is as quick as a dousing with a garden hose.

But it also has its limits.

There’s sunburn, for one thing.

And poison ivy. And thorns.

Ouch.

That’s why Brown said naked gardeners take the same precautions other gardeners do ... sunscreen if they need it, garden gloves, even clothes in some instances. “When I’m working on the blackberry bushes in the back 40, trust me, I wear protective clothing,” she said.

Brown finds nudity liberating.

She said she enjoys the feel of sun, water and wind on her skin.

doesn’t want to surprise or offend anyone else. By the nudity, that is. Although come to think of it, the weeds in my yard can be pretty offensive.

No data exist on how many people garden in the raw, Brown said, but surveys show gardening is high on the list of favorite activities to do in the nude.

So are swimming (no surprise there) and hiking (really?).

But why garden naked?

It’s about feeling closer to nature, about being one with the earth, Brown explained. When she gardens without clothes, it’s as if a protective layer that separates her from the natural world is removed.

At the risk of sounding what she called “flaky spiritual,” there’s a metaphysical component to gardening naked, she said. “I am just another one of the animals that lives on the face of this planet. … I’m just part of this Earth.”

That’s fine, but I live on a corner lot in a suburban subdivision. If I become part of this earth in my backyard, my neighbors will have a full view of my, um, spirituality.

Spuds aplenty: what makes Idaho ideal for growing MARTHA STEWART

Q: A:

Why do potatoes grow so well in Idaho?

Holding the spot as the top potato grower in the U.S., Idaho produced 13 billion pounds in 2009 — about one-third of the nation’s output. Climate is the main factor. Potatoes come from the Andes, so they grow best in high-altitude regions with warm days and cold nights. Much of the state fills that bill; days can reach into the 90s, with a 20- to 40-degree drop in temperature at night.

The state also has rich soil; ash from 17 million years of volcanic activity has left the land full of nutrients, with few rocks.

Finally, Idaho’s spuds get lots of water, thanks to the Snake River and efficient irrigation.

Q:

How can I post artwork, schedules and pictures on my stainless steel refrigerator, since it is not magnetized?

The smooth, bare expanse of a gleaming new stainless steel refrigerator looks clean and modern, and works in nearly any kitchen. The material, an alloy of steel designed to resist corrosion, may contain additional elements to increase its strength and resiliency. But these added

A:

elements can also cancel out steel’s magnetic properties, making it impossible for you to personalize it with your photos and kids’ art projects.

There are a few ways around this. Simplest among them is to use one of the removable adhesive products available at officesupply and crafts stores (BlueStik is one brand). Hooks or clips that attach with small suction cups are another option. You can also look for Happeez clips, notepads and photo frames. These use an adhesive designed to grip smooth surfaces without leaving residue behind. They can be attached and removed repeatedly.

If you miss your magnet collection, install a magnetic board in the kitchen or find one with suction cups and attach it to the refrigerator. Another option is to paint a wall with magnetic paint (one brand is Kling Magnetics) and use it rather than the fridge for postings.

Questions should be addressed to Ask Martha, c/o Letters Department, Martha Stewart Living, 601 W. 26th St., 9th floor, New York, N.Y. 10001. Questions may also be sent by e-mail to: mslletters@marthastewart. com. Please include your name, address and daytime telephone number.

Questions of general interest will be answered in this column; Martha Stewart regrets that unpublished letters cannot be answered individually.

Being flaky is a plus with these scones

By Noelle Carter

Glazed, flaky orange scones make a tasty choice for breakfast or as a snack.

Los Angeles Times

Dear SOS: I love the Sweetie Pies Bakery in Napa Valley. Last time, I tried the sweet-glazed currant scone.

Would it be possible to get the recipe?

—Elisabeth Anders, Napa Valley, Calif.

Dear Elisabeth: Sweetie Pies Bakery folds the small but brightly flavored currants with fresh orange zest in these wonderfully flaky scones. Drizzle over a sweet orange-scented glaze, and they make a delightful breakfast or a perfect snack.

Gary Friedman Los Angeles Times

SWEETIE PIE’S ORANGE BREAKFAST SCONES Total time: 1 hour, plus chilling and cooling times for the scones.

Servings: Makes about 6 scones, depending on size.

Note: Adapted from Sweetie Pies Bakery in Napa Valley.
