Gifts, cash stolen from Redmond couple’s wedding Loud events cause Opal city to mine in rethink La Pine BEND

By Rachael Rees The Bulletin

Hank and Annie Elliott, of Redmond, were married on Saturday evening.

Hours later, they were robbed. The thief — or thieves — made off with most of

their wedding gifts and an unknown amount of money.

The couple tied the knot at the Ross Coleman Guest Ranch in Molalla in front of about 250 guests. After celebrating until 3:30 a.m., the Elliotts called it a night,

leaving the gifts on a table outside in the reception area. When they woke up the next morning, their gifts were gone.

“Why would we think we better hide the gifts and the cards?” said Hank Elliott.

The gifts had been placed next to a standard guest sign-in area. Nearby, the couple had placed a birdcage for guests to drop in congratulatory cards, which traditionally contain money.

area may expand

The Bulletin

By Leon Pantenburg For The Bulletin

LA PINE — There may not be gold in those hills southeast of La Pine, but there appear to be gem-quality opals. And that’s what an Aumsville couple is banking on.

Robert and Joanna Nelson bought the Last Chance Mine about five years ago. They intend to expand the opal mine to allow them to safely and more effectively remove the gems. The mine is located about 30 miles outside La Pine in the Bend/Fort Rock District of the Deschutes National Forest.

But they must first get approval from a variety of government agencies.

The environmental assessment of the site was released recently, and the required plan of operation was released for comments as required by law.

The 5-year plan is to expand the existing main pit by about 30 feet in diameter to allow for deeper excavation of about 20 feet. Currently, the mine consists of a pit about 120 feet by 90 feet wide and 35 feet deep, and Nelson has the mineral rights to the 20-acre tract it is located on.

There will be no impact on the existing national forest roads, and no road construction is required, Nelson said. There will be no significant traffic increases on existing roads and little impact on the environment.

Opal is formed from a solution of silicon dioxide and water. As water runs down through the earth, it picks up silica from sandstone, and carries this silica-rich solution into cracks and voids caused by natural faults or decomposing fossils. As the water evaporates, it leaves behind a silica deposit. This cycle repeats over and over, and eventually opal is formed.

The Last Chance site has been an active mining claim since the early 1980s, said Bart Wells, a Deschutes National Forest geologist.

“The mine has been out there several years,” Wells said. “In the 1940s, a prospector was looking for uranium when he saw opals in the road cut. In the 1970s, a claim was filed with the state and mining began.”

Frozen by uncertainty, economic action stalls Inside

Pamela Clark, vice president of a Houston paint company, says she will wait on the economy before hiring.

Employers putting hiring on hold. Homebuyers getting cold feet. Shoppers pulling back on spending.

Hesitation is weakening the U.S. economy, as Monday’s disastrous day on Wall Street reaffirmed what many companies and ordinary Americans have been fearing for weeks: This is too tumultuous a time for businesses or households to be contemplating expansion.

Just a few months ago, analysts predicted the economy would grow about 4 percent this year. The forecast is now closer to half that amount as a wave of pessimism has hit.

“Everybody gets into this hangdog demeanor with respect to economic expectations,” said Paul Laudicina, chairman of A.T. Kearney, a consulting firm.

For the second time in less than a month, a live music act in Bend rattled enough eardrums and created enough of a stir to get the attention of city officials.

The latest culprit is the Volcanic Funk Fest, a two-day music event July 30-31 held at the Century Center on Bend’s west side.

Some neighbors said they could feel their homes shaking from loud music and saw people urinating in nearby alleyways.

On July 8, the Bend Summer Festival featured the ’80s hard rock band Night Ranger that played at Troy Field and elicited similar complaints.

While the complaints from the Night Ranger concert made city officials realize they needed to bolster their permitting process for future events, the latest round of concerns have them taking a harder look at how festivals should be handled in the future.

“The special events are great for our community and our economy, but there has to be a way to control volume so that the residents who live nearby aren’t adversely affected,” Mayor Jeff Eager said. “If there can be better clarity in the permitting, then it helps with enforcement if there are any issues, and then maybe that will give the residents some greater certainty about what they can expect from an event.”

The city has already decided that if someone is to hold a special event, organizers must communicate with the surrounding neighborhood and homeowners associations beforehand. These events include music festivals as well as sporting events, such as cycling races that close down city streets.

But even with this change, Bend Police Community Liaison Officer Steve Esselstyn said residents shouldn’t expect to see major modifications to special events this summer. Next year, however, could be different.

Tom Stuker, an automotive sales consultant, flew his 10 millionth mile on United Airlines in July.

The airline marked the occasion with champagne, gifts and his name emblazoned on the side of a Boeing 747.

10-million-mile man of United has lots of tips for the road

By William Hageman Chicago Tribune

Like all travelers, Tom Stuker has stories. But when you travel as much as Stuker does, the stories are a lot better.

As an automotive sales consultant, Stuker, 57, works on the retail side, helping develop salespeople and sales management. That means he flies a lot.

Not once-a-month a lot. More like 29,000-miles-a-month a lot.

On July 9 he flew his 10 millionth mile on United Airlines — the most for the airline — during Flight 942 from Los Angeles to Chicago and was honored in ceremonies at O’Hare International Airport. United CEO Jeff Smisek was on hand when Stuker stepped off the flight, his 5,962nd, according to United. There was champagne, gifts, his name emblazoned on the side of a Boeing 747. In all, pretty cool.

The tally started in 1982, when he joined United’s Mileage Plus program. “I flew several times on United before I joined Mileage Plus,” he said shortly after the festivities. “And if you include all the rewards trips, I’ve flown over 6,000 (times).”

Stuker, who has a home in

Bloomingdale, Ill., has been to all 50 states, has made more than 200 round-trip flights to Australia, has visited Asia 30 times.

Somehow, amid his travels, Stuker is finding time to star in a reality show on Spike TV. He described “Car Lot Cowboy” as a combination between “The Office” and “Hell’s Kitchen” in which he will use his business acumen to turn around faltering auto dealerships. It also will feature his sister, Roxy, and will start airing around the first of the year.

And he can teach you a thing or two about traveling, sharing some of what he has learned while logging those 10 million miles.

Early on, Stuker was not a gung-ho flier. “I was scared to death,” he said. But in his business, flying is necessary. “If I wanted to expand, I sure wasn’t interested in driving to Denver or Portland. And the bus schedules from L.A. to Sydney aren’t that convenient.” His solution: “Fly 6,000 flights; you’ll eventually get over it.”

Yes, some of your fellow passengers will be rude. Beyond rude. They’re just jerks.

Stuker said the airline is obviously not to blame. “People think it’s the airlines that are turning these Mister Rogerses into monsters. But a rude person is a rude person, whether it’s talking on a cellphone or in line at a restaurant. There are more rude people than ever, and it’s just amplified in confined spaces.”

Don’t be an amateur. Stuker said fliers need to learn how to play the game. “Get the right fares at the right time. Fly Tuesdays and Saturdays. …

Learn how to work the system.

Maybe you shouldn’t be packing a fridge and taking it to Uncle Willie’s. Be patient. Anticipate delays, anticipate the possibility of delays and cancellations. It’s part of the business. Understand what comes with the territory. Quit blaming the airlines when you get a foot of snow. They don’t control the weather.”

Look for deals. Hotel deals, mileage deals, status deals.

“Play every angle to take advantage. Learn the mileage game.

There are, like, 8,000 ways to earn mileage. Get every credit card out there. They all have mileage deals.”

T S Obama Withheld nuclear info Syrian defense seeks stirs anger in Japan minister replaced; to restore isolation deepens faith in U.S. credit New York Times News Service

By Ben Feller The Associated Press

WASHINGTON — Eager to calm a nervous nation, President Barack Obama on Monday dismissed an unprecedented downgrade in the nation’s credit rating, insisting investors will stand by the United States even as stock markets plunged.

Obama said Washington can fix its ills by showing more political will.

“Markets will rise and fall, but this is the United States of America,” Obama said. “No matter what some agency may say, we’ve always been and always will be a triple-A country.”

Investors did funnel money on Monday into Treasurys, a sign of confidence in the United States as a safe Related • The markets’ long-term investment even plunge, after Standard Page B1 & Poor’s had dropped the U.S. credit rating down a notch. But the broader story was far more worrisome: stock markets kept tumbling over concerns about the weakening U.S. economy and the debt crisis in Europe.

For Obama, a president seeking a second term from voters desperate for better times, the pressure for results is intense.

He is the first president to have a credit downgrade come on his watch. And whether blaming him is fair or not — he actually pushed for the type of deal that might have prevented a downgrade — presidents are always accountable.

After saying nothing about the downgrade all weekend, Obama sought Monday to use it as leverage against a Congress whose members are on an August vacation. He said a downgrade ought to compel a smart compromise from the bipartisan committee of lawmakers that will soon be tasked with shaping up to another $1.5 trillion in difficult deficit reduction.

Obama on Monday said Congress should ask wealthy Americans to pay more in taxes and should make adjustments in programs like Medicare. Both ideas face fierce political opposition.

“I assure you, we will stay on it until we get the job done,” the president assured. But Congress remains in divided political hands, limiting Obama’s ability to keep that promise.

Heading into a campaignstyle economic tour before going on his own vacation, Obama’s overall rating hovers below 50 percent in most polling. He is on far more perilous ground when it comes to public views on the key issue for voters — his handling of the economy — where his approval rating is under 40 percent in most major recent surveys.

FUKUSHIMA, Japan — The day after a giant tsunami set off the continuing disaster at the Fukushima Dai-ichi nuclear plant, thousands of residents at the nearby town of Namie gathered to evacuate.

Given no guidance from Tokyo, town officials led the residents north, believing that winter winds would be blowing south and carrying away any radioactive emissions. For three nights, while hydrogen explosions at four of the reactors spewed radiation into the air, they stayed in a district called Tsushima where the children played outside and some parents used water from a mountain stream to prepare rice.

The winds, in fact, had been blowing directly toward Tsushima — and town officials would

learn two months later that a government computer system designed to predict the spread of radioactive releases had been showing just that.

But the forecasts were left unpublicized by bureaucrats in Tokyo, operating in a culture that sought to avoid responsibility and, above all, criticism.

Japan’s political leaders at first did not know the system existed and later played down the data, apparently fearful of having to significantly enlarge the area of evacuation — and acknowledge the nuclear accident’s severity.

“From the 12th to the 15th we were in a location with one of the highest levels of radiation,” Tamotsu Baba, the mayor of Namie, said. “We are extremely worried about internal exposure to radiation.”

Record money flows into Wisconsin for recall effort

By Michael A. Fletcher The Washington Post

Record-breaking donations are pouring into Wisconsin for state Senate recall elections today that could help shape the future of the national GOP agenda.

The recall effort was triggered by Republican Gov. Scott Walker’s move to sharply curtail collective-bargaining rights for public employees in the state.

That decision ignited huge protests at the state Capitol this year. But the campaigns are now tackling the issues at the heart of the national Republican political agenda. They include refusing to raise taxes even on corporations and the wealthy for fear of dampening job creation, and relying solely on cuts to government programs to close yawning budget gaps.

Outside groups — led by national unions on the Democratic side and limited government groups such as the Wisconsin Club for Growth on the Republican side — have shoveled more than $25 million into the recall

effort, with both sides spending about the same amount. The candidates, meanwhile, have raised more than $5 million.

The staggering dollar amounts being showered on the eight recall campaigns — which after a July 19 election and today’s six contests will conclude with two elections on Aug. 16 — are shattering state records.

In 2010, when the 99-member assembly and half the 33-member state Senate was up for election, outside organizations spent $3.75 million in Wisconsin — 15 percent of this year’s total.

“The spending is so far off the charts. It does not compare to anything we’ve ever seen,” said Mike McCabe, executive director of the Wisconsin Democracy Campaign, which tracks campaign spending in the state.

“It is an indication of how much things have been stirred up here. Wisconsin has been put on a national stage and it is clear that some groups see these elections as something of a national referendum.”

GOP focus tightens on Iowa

By John McCormick Bloomberg News

DES MOINES, Iowa — The Republican presidential campaign descends in full force on Iowa this week, as the state prepares to host a straw poll that could start winnowing the field of candidates seeking to challenge President Barack Obama in 2012.

As a prelude to the Aug. 13 straw poll, as many as nine of the Republican candidates will participate in a nationally televised debate in Ames, Iowa, on Thursday. A popular stop for the White House contenders also will be the Iowa State Fair, a major event in the state that will hold the nation’s first nomination contest early next year.

The straw poll’s importance took a hit when former Massa-

The withholding of information, he said, was akin to “murder.”

In interviews and public statements, some current and former government officials have admitted that Japanese authorities engaged in a pattern of withholding damaging information and denying facts of the nuclear disaster — in order, some of them said, to limit the size of costly and disruptive evacuations in land-scarce Japan and to avoid public questioning of the politically powerful nuclear industry.

As the nuclear plant continues to release radiation, some of which has slipped into the nation’s food supply, public anger is growing at what many here see as an official campaign to play down the scope of the accident and the potential health risks.

Related • Texas Gov. Perry signals intent to join campaign, Page A6 chusetts governor Mitt Romney, the frontrunner in most surveys of Republican-leaning voters, decided against actively competing in it. Still, the contest — which doubles as a fundraiser for the state Republican Party — is viewed as a potential springboard by several other candidates, including former Minnesota governor Tim Pawlenty and Reps.

Michele Bachmann of Minnesota and Ron Paul of Texas.

“It’s an important piece in regard to momentum for candidates and how they can use that mo-

mentum for making the case they need to make to the American people and also for fundraising,” Republican National Committee Chairman Reince Priebus told reporters last week. He also said he anticipates the party’s field won’t be settled until Labor Day. While the straw poll is designed to gauge the early popularity and organizational ability of Republican presidential hopefuls, it isn’t necessarily an indicator of who will win the party’s caucuses in Iowa next year. Romney finished first in the 2007 straw poll, then former Arkansas governor Mike Huckabee won the Republican caucuses in January 2008. Television evangelist Pat Robertson won the 1987 straw poll, while then-Sen. Bob Dole of Kansas triumphed in the 1988 caucuses.

BEIRUT — Joining a chorus of global condemnation, three oilrich Arab countries on Monday recalled their ambassadors to the Syrian capital of Damascus in protest of President Bashar Assad’s brutal crackdown on demonstrations, as the Syrian military and security forces pressed ahead with their assault on the most restive locales.

The decision by Saudi Arabia, Bahrain and Kuwait came as Assad replaced the defense minister with the army’s chief of staff, the Syrian state-run news agency said. There was no immediate explanation for the move to oust the incumbent defense minister, Lt. Gen. Ali Habib, a key figure in the leadership who had served as defense minister since June 2009.

His departure would constitute one of the highest-level shakeups since the uprising began in mid-March. His replacement was Gen. Dawoud Rajha.

The withdrawal of ambassadors from the three Gulf countries signified growing frustration in the region with the mounting death toll in Syria and underlined the unprecedented isolation of the government of Assad, who inherited power from his father, Hafez, in 2000.

In a statement, the Saudi monarch, King Abdullah, called on the Syrian president to stop what he called the “killing machine and end the bloodshed.”

Saudi Arabia, one of the region’s most repressive countries, dispatched its own armed forces to help crush an uprising this spring in Bahrain, which itself

But in a region where leaders have long proved reluctant to criticize each other, the move suggested that Saudi Arabia saw more potential turmoil in Assad staying than in him leaving. For months, Saudi Arabia, fearful of more unrest in the region, had tried to protect the status quo.

Addressing “sister Syria,” the king condemned the loss of lives and said that hope for the region would not come for “the blood of innocent people” and that Syria’s actions were not acceptable for the oil-rich kingdom.

Theft Continued from A1 Annie Elliott noticed that the cage was missing during the reception, but thought that friends and family had moved it. When the couple left the guest house next to the reception area at 7:30 Sunday morning, they noticed that the birdcage wasn’t the only thing missing. Most of the gifts were gone, too.

Hank Elliott estimates that the thief or thieves took about

90 percent of the gifts before running out of either time to steal or room to carry the Elliotts’ property. He believes the stolen goods are worth about $10,000.

“We were stunned,” said Hank Elliott. “We didn’t expect it.”

The couple reported the theft to the Clackamas County Sheriff’s Office on Aug. 7. But authorities have no suspects or leads yet, said Sgt. James Rhodes.

“We have to rely heavily on help from wedding guests,” he said. “Without help, we have no-

C OV ER S T OR I ES where to go.”

To catch the bandit, says Rhodes, the police will scour wedding photos for anyone who wasn’t on the guest list. Meanwhile, the Elliotts have asked their guests to cancel checks and give the police routing numbers. They’ve also asked guests to send gift card receipts to police and cancel payments. Police hope to use this information to catch anyone who tries to return gifts or make purchases using stolen cards.

While the bride and groom be-

lieve a wedding crasher committed the crime, the police believe the guilty party was at the wedding legitimately.

Rhodes said a theft like this would be difficult for a stranger to pull off because the area was filled with friends and family.

“The gifts were in public view and would have to be loaded up,” said Rhodes. “The thief would have to be the invisible man.”

Mood Continued from A1 “People sit on their wallets because they feel like everything is going to get worse, and things get worse because people are sitting on their wallets.”

There are some signs of encouragement, including retail buoyancy at high-end department stores, improved car sales and even mild construction growth. But the nerve-racking scenario that now has pessimists in ascendance got its statistical kick start late last month, when the government reported that the economy had grown much more slowly than originally thought during the first half of the year.

A few days later, after a bruising fight, Congress passed a compromise bill to cut the federal debt that very few saw as a meaningful long-term remedy.

And by last week, the stock market started its precipitous slide, which continued Monday after Standard and Poor’s downgraded the federal debt after the close of business Friday.

The chain of events has made the prospect of another recession — a so-called double-dip — an obsession on Wall Street and in board rooms and living rooms across the country. For many businesses, it is already suppressing hiring.

‘Holding pattern’ In Houston, for example, Pamela Clark, vice president of a family owned paint company, had a flurry of new orders earlier this year and began searching for an office clerk and a paint maker.

It was the first time the company, the Preservo Paint and Coatings Manufacturing Co., had considered hiring since the recession.

But Clark has yet to offer anyone a job. Orders have become unpredictable as clients — including the makers of blow dryers and bathtubs — say they feel uncertain about the economy and what the government is doing about it.

“There is no logic to how it goes any longer,” Clark said. “So we’re in a holding pattern to see what’s going to happen with the economy.”

But the watchfulness extends beyond hiring. The most recent government reports of consumer spending and factory orders show that both have been falling. The prices of commodities have also dropped in anticipation of an economic slowdown, with crude oil down 29 percent since April. Shoppers for homes are also delaying offers as jitters grow about the stock market, real estate agents report.

Prospective buyers like Nicole Zachariae are haunting the housing market. Late last week, on the heels of a 500-point one-day drop of the Dow Jones index, Zachariae and her husband, Brian, went house-hunting. The lush green cul-de-sacs of northern New Jer-

sey were as enticing as ever, but Nicole Zachariae was suddenly feeling more protective of her money — and less eager to buy.

“I don’t live and die by the market,” she said, “but this has rocked me.”

Shannon Moore, a real estate broker in Sarasota, Fla., said many people are electing to wait out the turmoil on the sidelines. “I don’t know how many tours I’ve given where people say, ‘I’ll be back in three months,’” she said.

Some housing experts warn that further declines in home prices could help set off another recession.

“The wait-and-see attitude begets more bad economic data, and it can become a self-fulfilling prophecy,” said Andrew Goldberg, market strategist for J.P. Morgan Funds, an asset manager.

The downward cycle that could be at play is known by some economists as a “feedback loop” — when one piece of bad economic data has a way of making everything else worse.

When unemployment — now at 9.1 percent — is high, for example, companies have little incentive to pay workers more. And with sales in a slump, they do not hire. That means those people with jobs have no pay raises to spend, and those out of work, of course, have little money to spend at all. That, in turn, means sales do not go up, and companies do not hire.

Homebuyers put off their purchases, too, further depressing prices and keeping the market for home improvements and other big purchases like washing machines weak. And the stock market dip means that even those with the means to spend are likely to hold back because they feel poorer.

“It is a nasty feedback loop with negative consequences for the consumer, the jobs market and for the economy,” said Allen Sinai, chief global economist at the consulting firm Decision Economics.

Subdued outlook Since employers began adding back workers in March of last year, they have hired 1.75 million people, far fewer than the 8 million who lost their jobs during the recession. The pace of hiring, which accelerated to an average of 178,500 a month in the first four months of this year, has slowed considerably, to less than half that in the last three months.

Although hiring picked up in July, employers added 117,000 jobs, barely enough to keep pace with normal population growth.

Signs of future growth are still subdued: The Conference Board reported on Monday that its Employment Trends index had declined for the third time in four months and that employers were likely to add just 100,000 net jobs a month for the rest of the year.

Tibet’s new prime minister-in-exile vows to fight Chinese ‘colonialism’ Los Angeles Times NEW DELHI — Harvardtrained Lobsang Sangay, the Tibetan prime minister-in-exile, vowed to fight China’s uncompromising approach toward Tibet during his swearing-in ceremony Monday as he prepared to assume many of the political duties previously handled by the Dalai Lama.

Speaking at the Tsuglakhang temple in Dharamsala, a hill station in northern India, Sangay vowed to fight Beijing’s “colonialism,” and said his election sent “a clear message to the hardliners in the Chinese government that Tibetan leadership is far from fizzling out.”

After traditional offerings of tea and sweetened rice, Sangay, 43, took up his new post at exactly nine seconds after 09:09 a.m.

Nine is considered an auspicious

number associated with longevity among many Tibetans.

The Dalai Lama, 76, who stepped down voluntarily, also addressed the crowd of several thousand people. “Today is the most important day in the last 2,000 years,” he said of the move toward a more representative governing structure. He will remain the movement’s spiritual leader.

As Sangay’s profile has risen, the academic has displayed a more confrontational approach toward China than the Dalai Lama, including calls for the Tibetan flag to fly above the Potala Palace in Lhasa, the traditional seat of the Tibetan government.

He faces several challenges.

China has made no secret of its bid to wait out the Dalai Lama, hoping that when he dies, the Tibetan movement will suffer from

divisions and lack of focus.

Beijing is also trying to groom a parallel Tibetan religious leadership and significantly increased the population of Han Chinese on the Tibetan plateau.

It is tightening its grip on monasteries and spending billions of dollars on the local economy and on infrastructure in a bid to dilute Tibetans’ traditional beliefs and respect for the Dalai Lama.

Monday’s inauguration could further complicate relations between China and India, where the exile community is based, said K. Shankar Bajpai, an analyst and former Indian ambassador to China, especially given their very different forms of government.

“There’s no doubt whatsoever of Beijing’s sensitivity on anything concerning Tibetan autonomy,” Bajpai said.

Moreover, state and local governments under financial stress are likely to continue layoffs for the rest of the year.

While the risk of another recession has certainly increased in recent weeks, what many economists fear most immediately is continued wheel spinning.

“One of the worst outcomes of the great recession is a great stagnation, where you just have an economy that is hovering along,” said Heather Boushey, senior economist at the liberal Center for American Progress.

“And because of that, there is no urgency” among policymakers to address job creation in a fundamental way, she said.

One pocket of recent strength has been auto sales, which accelerated after a stall in the spring.

In July, all of the Big Three Detroit automakers posted healthy sales increases. Jeff Schuster, executive director of global forecasting at J.D. Power and Associates, a market research firm, said he expected sales in the second half of this year to run 9 to 10 percent ahead of last year’s figures.

Such resilience has prompted some car dealers to hire. Chris Meyer, general manager for the Ford and Lincoln flagship location of Heiser Automotive in Milwaukee, said he had hired three new salespeople since the beginning of the year and had openings for two more.

Elsewhere, though, a hold-tight mentality pervades.

“The important thing is to get stuff out the door so we can get paid by our customers,” said Roger Sustar, owner of Fredon, a maker of precision parts for the aerospace and locomotive industries based near Cleveland.

Although he had no layoff plans, he said, he had no plans to hire, either.

For-profit college company accused of widespread fraud New York Times News Service The Department of Justice and four states on Monday filed a multibillion-dollar fraud suit against Education Management Corp., the nation’s second largest for-profit college company, charging that it was not eligible for the $11 billion in state and federal financial aid it had received from July 2003 through June 2011.

While the civil lawsuit is one of many raising similar charges against the expanding for-profit college industry, the Education Management case is the first in which the government intervened to back whistle-blowers’ claims that the company consistently violated federal law by paying recruiters based on how many students they enrolled.

The suit also said that each year, Education Management falsely certified that if was complying with the law, making it eligible to receive student financial aid.

“The depth and breadth of the fraud laid out in the complaint are astonishing,” said Harry Litman, a lawyer in Pittsburgh and former federal prosecutor who is one of those representing the two whistle-blowers whose 2007 complaints spurred the suit. “It spans the entire company — from the ground level in over 100 separate institutions up to the most senior management — and accounts for nearly all the revenues the company has realized since 2003.”

Education Management, which is based in Pittsburgh and is 41 percent owned by Goldman Sachs, enrolls about 150,000 students in 105 schools operating under four names: Art Institute, Argosy Univer-

sity, Brown Mackie College and South University.

In a statement Monday, the company denied any wrongdoing. “The pursuit of this legal action by the federal government and a handful of states is flat-out wrong,” said Bonnie Campbell, a spokeswoman for the company’s legal counsel. “EDMC’s 2003 compensation plan followed the law in both its design and implementation, as EDMC’s response to the governments’ complaint will show.”

“Federal regulations issued in 2002 permitted companies to consider enrollments in admission officer compensation, so long as enrollments were not the sole factor considered,” the statement continued. “To ensure compliance with this regulation, EDMC worked closely with outside experts in both human resources and education law to develop a plan that required consideration of five quality factors along with enrollment numbers to determine salaries.”

The government’s incentive compensation ban was designed to stop companies from signing up unqualified students for their aid money. The False Claims Act, the basis for the government’s lawsuit, provides for triple damages for every false claim, and since the complaint said all the student-aid money received from the government came from such claims, the damages could be as much as $33 billion. As a practical matter, though, such huge cases are usually settled for far less than the maximum damages.

Mine Continued from A1 Nelson acquired the mineral rights about five years ago, and has mined the area since. His typical routine is to excavate the materials and separate the opals at his home in Aumsville.

Opal mining is done primarily by hand, with hammers, shovels, electric jackhammer, tile saws, wheelbarrows and an ATV. Some of the waste rock could be removed for use as decorative stone.

“While a backhoe might be used periodically for some of the excavation,” he said, “the majority of the work must be done by hand to limit potential damage to the gems.”

The current mine is a deep pit, Nelson said, and the idea is to terrace the sides so it is safer for the

public and mine workers. The area is not open to the public, he added, but because of the remote location, trespassers occasionally get onto the site.

Because of the remoteness and the heavy winter snow, the actual time the mine can be worked is limited. Generally, the mining season for Nelson is over by the time the first snow flies.

“The deposit is about 5 million years old, and it has play-of-color opals,” Nelson said. “It looks like glitter in the opal and it flashes all different colors. This characteristic makes the opals valuable.”

There are few opal mines in Oregon, says George Caward, of Peterson Rock Garden in Redmond.

He is unaware of any commercial operations. Most of the world’s opals are mined in the Australian Outback.

Caward has been to the Last Chance mine, he said, and the opal he saw there appeared to be a bluish-green color.

“Opal is the most expensive of the soft stones,” he said. “It is used mostly in jewelry. Black opal is the rarest, and the Australian blue, and Mexican red are very popular.

Depending on the quality, the opal from that mine could be valuable.”

As it turns out, opal mining is dirty, exhausting manual labor with uncertain rewards. But the results may make it worthwhile, Nelson said.

“The deposit could be very extensive, and go for a mile, or it could be much smaller,” he said.

“We won’t know until we dig.”

Lucky breaks The Monitor has been so familiar for so long that it is hard to realize just how radical it seemed at the time — and how much luck was involved in building it. The ship’s history is a case study in the difficulties of technological innovation. The Monitor had a genius for a designer in John Ericsson, and a lobbyist so well connected that President Abraham Lincoln made a personal plea for it, yet when a scale model was first presented in Washington, the members of the Navy’s Ironclad Board rejected it.

“Take the little thing home and worship it,” one board member said disdainfully, “as it would not be idolatry because it was made in the image of nothing in the heaven above or the earth below or the water under the earth.”

The Monitor’s designer might have taken that as a compliment.

Ericsson once described himself in a letter to Lincoln as having “practical and constructive skill shared by no engineer now living.” But skill was no guarantee of success, as he knew from bitter experience.

A native of Sweden, Ericsson moved to London and produced one innovation after another, including a screw propeller to replace the paddle wheel on the

Some of the more notable changes people might see during future special events, Esselstyn said, are reduced music volumes and stricter enforcement of the 10 p.m. noise curfew.

The technology that revolutionized naval warfare started with a five-sentence advertisement in 1861, and resulted in the USS Monitor, right, less than six months later. steam-powered warship. But the British Admiralty was too conservative to adopt it, and he foundered financially. After a stint in debtors’ prison, he found a new patron and moved to New York.

The U.S. Navy commissioned a warship, the Princeton, that proved to be one of the most advanced in the world, thanks to a screw propeller and other innovations by Ericsson. But after its success, he was pushed aside by his partner in the project, Robert Stockton, an American naval officer (and future U.S. senator from New Jersey) who took public credit for Ericsson’s inventions — until a public disaster.

In 1844, during a demonstration cruise on the Potomac River with President John Tyler and much of official Washington aboard, a cannon on the Princeton exploded, killing the secretary of state and secretary of the Navy, along with several others. Ericsson wasn’t there — the limelight-stealing Stockton had made sure to exclude him — and he had nothing to do with the faulty cannon, which his partner had built and installed.

But Stockton managed not only to shift public blame to Ericsson but also to help prevent him from being paid for all his work designing the ship. After that experience, Ericsson wanted nothing more to do with Washington. But he went on innovating, and during the Crimean War he tried to interest the French in building an ironclad.

“Alas for the wooden walls that formerly ruled the waves!” he wrote to Napoleon III in 1854, sending along a scale model of a turreted ironclad closely resembling the Monitor. The French passed on it.

Traditionalists in the U.S. Navy remained suspicious of any kind of ironclad, but by the Civil War they were forced to reconsider.

The Confederate Navy, desperate for something to neutralize the Union’s immense numerical advantage, began converting a wooden frigate, the former USS Merrimack, into an ironclad.

The fear of the Confederate ship led to the Union’s newspaper advertisement, which attracted more

Esselstyn said that if residents have concerns about the events, they should call the police department’s nonemergency dispatch number, 541-693-6911, while the event is occurring.

Complaints about the events are not new, he added, and they need to be monitored each year so the city can refine how it allows certain festivals to operate.

He said this happens every year.

“It’s just something we have to respond to as the situations arise,” Esselstyn said. “We’ve made a lot of improvements, and of course there are a lot more to be made.”

Monitor Continued from A1 Less than six months later, a shipyard in Greenpoint, Brooklyn, launched not merely an ironclad but an entirely new kind of warship. The USS Monitor had no masts and no line of cannons. It was essentially a submarine beneath a revolving gun turret, something so tiny and bizarre-looking that many experts doubted the “cheese box on a raft” would float, much less fight.

But somehow it survived both the Navy bureaucracy and a broadside barrage to become one of the most celebrated ships in the world.

Long after the ship sank in a storm off Cape Hatteras, N.C., the turret remained a cultural icon: an “armored tower” in Melville’s poetry, an image on book covers and film posters, a shape reproduced in items from toys to refrigerators.

Now the original turret, which was recovered from the ocean floor nine years ago and placed in a freshwater tank to protect it from corrosion, is on display again. It has been temporarily exposed to the air so that it can be scraped clean — very carefully, in front of museum visitors and a live webcam — by a team of researchers at the USS Monitor Center of the Mariners’ Museum here in Newport News. The team expects to have nearly all the barnacles and sediment removed by the end of this month, giving the public a new look at the dents from the Confederate cannonballs and shells that would have sunk any ordinary ship of its day. Then the turret will be submerged again in fresh water for 15 more years, until enough ocean salt has been removed from the metal to allow it to face the air permanently.

than a dozen proposals, but none from Ericsson. The Ironclad Board gave preliminary approval to two relatively conventional armored vessels, including one proposed

by Cornelius Bushnell, a well-connected Connecticut railroad executive and shipbuilder who — in the classic tradition of Washington lobbying — had been instrumental in creating the board that approved his design. But he turned out not to be a classically self-interested lobbyist.

To win final approval for his design, Bushnell had to provide calculations demonstrating its stability, and he happened to seek technical help from Ericsson. He went to the engineer’s home in downtown New York. Ericsson did the calculations confirming the ship’s stability, and then pulled out a pasteboard model of his own ironclad with a turret.

Ericsson managed to build the ship in less than four months while dealing with continual worries from the Navy and skepticism from the public. The New York press corps began calling the ship

“Ericsson’s Folly” after some engine and steering problems during the ship’s trials in the East River in February 1862. But Ericsson quickly fixed them, and the Monitor was en route to Virginia on March 8, the day the Confederate ironclad made its debut.

The former Merrimack, renamed the CSS Virginia, destroyed two Union warships that Saturday and seemed ready to finish off the rest of the Union fleet at Hampton Roads the next day.

When the Monitor arrived that night, Union sailors were shocked by its tiny size and despaired of its having any chance against its hulking opponent. In Washington, panicked officials worried that the invulnerable Confederate ironclad would soon be shelling the White House.

Model of success But the next day, with tens of thousands of people watching from the shores, the tiny Monitor fought the Virginia to a draw. The 8-inch iron armor on its turret was dented slightly but withstood shot after shot from the Virginia’s cannons, including some fired from within 30 feet, and the smaller ship had a much easier time maneuvering. It became the model for a succession of ironclads and ultimately for the revolving turrets on today’s battleships.

By removing the threat of the Confederate ironclad, the Monitor kept the Union’s ships safe in the ensuing months, until it sank at the end of 1862 in a storm southeast of Cape Hatteras that claimed the lives of 16 crew members.

Eventually its wreckage was discovered 230 feet below the surface, and in the late 1990s Navy divers and archaeologists from the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration’s Monitor National Marine Sanctuary began retrieving its pieces.

When the turret was recovered, it was so saturated with sea salt that it was vulnerable to rapid corrosion if the salt reacted with

oxygen in the air. To protect it and gradually remove the salt, researchers submerged it in a tank of fresh water for most of the past nine years.

After its coming 15-year stint back in fresh water is over, the researchers expect to display it in a gallery at the Mariners’ Museum, along with the other artifacts and the full-size replica of the Monitor there now. But this summer, the turret is being briefly exposed to the air in the museum’s laboratory so a team of seven workers with chisels, hammers and pneumatic tools can remove the hard crust — called concretion — of sediment, sand, coral, shells, calcium and other debris that accumulated during 140 years on the floor of the ocean.

With the water temporarily drained from the tank, visitors can see the inside of the turret and imagine the battle scene with the help of Dave Krop, the conservation project manager. The turret was clearly not a place for claustrophobes, given that there were 19 men and two 13-foot-long cannons squeezed inside a revolving cylinder that was 9 feet high and 20 feet in diameter.

“It was really quite a crowded, hot, smoky place to be, but it had to be orderly for the guns to oper-

ate safely,” Krop said as he pointed out the gun ports through which the two cannons fired. On the opposite wall were the remnants of a couple of mistakes during a test firing in New York: dents left by the recoil of the guns when the crew didn’t properly set the braking machinery.

On the turret’s outside wall were dents from Confederate cannonballs, including one that knocked some nuts off bolts — but Ericsson had planned for that possibility. He had designed the interior turret with sheets of wrought iron covering the nuts and bolts so that there’d be no shrapnel flying inside to injure the crew.

“We keep seeing how exacting and precise Ericsson was in designing the ship,” Krop said. “To me it’s mind-blowing that he was able to get so many details right while building a fantastical new kind of ship in four months. Today it takes years to build an ordinary ship. We can’t do a contract for a warship in four months, much less build one.”

Gov. Perry signals his intent to enter GOP campaign

AFGHANISTAN

Deadly crash highlights the role of U.S. elite forces

By Deb Riechmann and Lolita C. Baldor The Associated Press

By Jeff Zeleny New York Times News Service

DES MOINES, Iowa — Gov. Rick Perry of Texas delivered a long-distance jolt to the Republican presidential campaign Monday by signaling that he intends to join the race and visit South Carolina and New Hampshire on Saturday, the same day his rivals are battling for survival in the Iowa Straw Poll.

Perry has flirted with the notion of running for months, but his decision comes as the Republican field tries to take advantage of a yearning for leadership in the wake of a downgrade in the nation’s credit rating, Texas Gov. a collapse in Rick Perry the financial markets and a sustained period of high unemployment.

The cascading troubles have created a fresh moment for his candidacy.

“There is still a thirst for another voice to come in,” said Craig Schoenfeld, an Iowa Republican who is leading a group here called Americans for Perry, which has been signing up supporters for the governor. “They are looking for the kind of leadership he has shown in Texas, while the country has gone the other direction.”

While Perry will stop short of making an announcement this weekend, aides said, he is trying to hire campaign workers in key states, securing fundraising commitments and preparing to be fully engaged in the race by early next month when Republicans meet for three debates.

Advisers said he has moved beyond the trial balloon stage of gauging support to executing a strategy.

The first test of his impact on the race could come as soon as Saturday, when candidates descend on Ames for the Iowa Straw Poll, a test of organizational strength. His name will not be on the ballot, but Americans for Perry, the independent group financed by several friends and political associates, has been urging supporters to cast a write-in ballot for him.

That effort could erode support from his rivals.

In a week when Republican candidates had hoped to introduce themselves to voters through the rituals of the Iowa State Fair — featuring the legendary butter cow and old-time speeches on the political soapbox — the spotlight of the race was suddenly yanked south. The rollout of Perry’s prospective presidential bid threw a volatile new element into the contest.

The intentions of Perry, which were the subject of considerable political chatter in Iowa and New Hampshire on Monday, were being carefully watched by the rest of the Republican field.

A building burns as a riot police officer watches Monday in Croydon, south London. Violence and looting spread across some of London’s most impoverished neighborhoods on Monday, with youths setting fire to shops and vehicles.

On 3rd day, British riots rage, spread

By David Stringer and Raphael G. Satter The Associated Press

LONDON — Violence and looting raged across London and spread to three other major British cities early today, as authorities struggled to contain the country’s most serious unrest since race riots set the capital ablaze in the 1980s.

In London, a third straight night of disorder saw buildings, vehicles and garbage dumps set alight, stores looted and police officers pelted with bottles and fireworks, as groups of young people rampaged through neighborhoods. It was an unwelcome reminder of London’s volatility for leaders organizing the 2012 Summer Olympics in less than a year.

As authorities struggled to keep pace with unrest unfolding at flashpoints across Lon-

don, the violence spread to the central city of Birmingham, the western city of Bristol and the northwestern city of Liverpool.

Prime Minister David Cameron cut short his summer vacation in Italy and was headed home for a meeting of the national crisis committee this morning.

The riots appeared to have little unifying cause — though some involved in the violence claimed to be motivated by government cuts to public spending.

The government was aiming to toughen its stance against the violence, as some communities complained that stretched police were struggling to contain the unrest with rioters plundering from stores at will, menacing shocked customers at restaurants and attempting to invade homes. Stores shut early across London, fearful of vio-

Maid sues Strauss-Kahn over hotel encounter

By Larry Neumeister The Associated Press

NEW YORK — A hotel maid who accuses ex-International Monetary Fund boss Dominique Strauss-Kahn of sexual assault sued him Monday over what she calls a “violent and sadistic” attack in an upscale suite that left her life “in shambles.”

Lawyers for the maid, Guinean immigrant Nafissatou Diallo, wrote in the lawsuit that Strauss-Kahn “intentionally, brutally and violently sexually assaulted Ms. Diallo and in the process humiliated, degraded, violated and robbed Ms. Diallo of her dignity as a woman.”

The lawyers, Kenneth Thompson and Douglas Wigdor, promised to tell a jury about other instances when StraussKahn sexually attacked women in hotel rooms and apartments, coerced employees into comply-

ing with sexual demands or accosted women with inappropriate sexual remarks and tried to get them to perform sexual acts.

They said the lawsuit, seeking unspecified damages, would “redress the violent and sadistic attack by defendant StraussKahn on Nafissatou Diallo when he sexually assaulted” her on May 14 at the Sofitel hotel in midtown Manhattan.

The lawsuit says StraussKahn injured Diallo’s shoulder, bruised her vagina, tore her pantyhose and violently grabbed the back of her head during the attack.

The lawsuit, filed in state court in the Bronx, accuses Strauss-Kahn of acting like a common criminal afterward, fleeing the hotel so quickly that he left behind traces of his semen, along with bloody tissues.

lence and looting.

Violence first broke out late Saturday in London’s northern Tottenham district when a peaceful protest over the fatal police shooting of Mark Duggan, a 29-year-old father of four who was gunned down in disputed circumstances Thursday, turned violent.

Two police cars and a double-decker bus were set alight, stores were looted and several buildings along Tottenham’s main street — five miles from the site of the 2012 Olympics — were reduced to smoldering shells.

Duggan’s death stirred old animosities and racial tensions which prompted riots in the 1980s, despite efforts by London police to build better relations with the city’s ethnic communities after high-profile cases of racism in recent decades.

KABUL, Afghanistan — The loss of dozens of elite American troops to a Taliban rocketpropelled grenade is a window on the war to come — focused increasingly on the type of special operations the troops were pursuing when their helicopter crashed.

The U.S. military released new details Monday about the crash in the Tangi Valley, a dangerous area of Wardak province on the doorstep of the Afghan capital. The 30 U.S. troops, seven Afghan commandos and an Afghan interpreter who died were taking part in one of thousands of nighttime operations being conducted annually across the nation.

The sheer number of these missions is evidence that progress in the nearly decade-long war depends more on efforts to kill or capture insurgents than the overarching strategy of building support for the Afghan government at grassroots levels.

And these missions will take on relatively more importance as

troop levels decline.

Saturday’s crash of the CH-47 Chinook helicopter was deadliest single loss for U.S. forces in the war and raised anew questions in the United States about why U.S. troops are still fighting the unpopular conflict.

U.S. leaders vowed on Monday not to let the loss rewrite the war strategy.

“We will press on and we will succeed,” President Barack Obama said at the White House.

Secretary of Defense Leon Panetta said, “As heavy a loss as this was, it would even be more tragic if we allowed it to derail this country from our efforts to defeat al-Qaida and deny them a safe haven in Afghanistan.”

In Kabul, German Brig. Gen. Carsten Jacobson, a spokesman for the U.S.-led coalition, said, “The incident, as tragic as it was in its magnitude, will have no influence on the conduct of operations.”

Jacobson said troops continued Monday to recover every last piece of the helicopter and that no one was being allowed in or out of the heavily secured crash site during the investigation.

Dire warning on Africa famine The Associated Press DADAAB, Kenya — Hundreds of thousands of Somali children could die in East Africa’s famine unless more help arrives, a top U.S. official warned Monday in the starkest death toll prediction yet. To highlight the crisis, the wife of Vice President Joe Biden visited a refugee camp filled with hungry Somalis.

Jill Biden is the highest-profile U.S. visitor to East Africa since the number of refugees com-

Allegiant Air will temporarily suspend its twice-weekly flights from Redmond to the Phoenix area from early September through mid-February, according to its schedule and a spokeswoman.

The Las Vegas-based leisure travel airline expects less demand for the flights from Redmond Airport to PhoenixMesa Gateway Airport during the period, Kristine Cooper, public relations manager, said Monday, so it has put the flights on “seasonal hiatus.”

The airline’s online flight reservation system, which shows the schedule through Feb. 14, indicates that the last flight between Redmond and Mesa is slated for Sept. 5, with no future flights. But Cooper said that does not mean the service has been canceled. She said the flights will return to the reservation system when the airline extends its schedule beyond Feb. 14, but she didn’t give a specific date for when the service would resume.

Allegiant also suspended the flights earlier this year between most of April and May. The twice-weekly flights from Redmond to Las Vegas are unchanged.

Stocks dive in first trading Will Fed reboot since U.S. debt downgrade rescue efforts?

By Graham Bowley New York Times News Service

The stock market resumed its free fall Monday on mounting fears about the stalling economy and worries that the government has few options to boost growth, dual concerns that overshadowed the downgrade of long-term United States government debt.

The Dow Jones industrial average fell 634 points, or 5.6 percent, and the Standard & Poor’s 500 stock index dropped 6.7 percent, the biggest retreats since December 2008 in the

Verizon workers hit picket lines NEW YORK — Striking Verizon landline workers say they laid the foundation for the company’s booming wireless business and shouldn’t be expected to give up contract benefits just because they work on a less profitable side of the business.

But management says the company has to change to stay competitive and the 45,000 landline workers can’t expect to be paid the way they were when the phone company was a monopoly.

A union spokeswoman said the company is seeking about $20,000 a year per worker in annual givebacks.

CHARLOTTE, N.C. — Bank of America Corp. shares have fallen below $7, amid continued concerns about the bank’s mortgage-related woes.

The Charlotte-based bank’s shares sank as markets reacted to a lawsuit filed by insurer American International Group Inc. alleging the bank and its subsidiaries sold it faulty mortgages during the housing boom.

The suit, filed in New York Superior Court, seeks $10 billion in damages stemming from $28 billion in securities that Bank of America, Countrywide Financial and Merrill Lynch sold the insurer in the mid-2000s.

he connection between a bite valve that lets water flow into the mouths of runners and a valve used in a medical device to clear an area of the body during surgery runs through Bend product designer Matt Hoskins, at least in part.

While working for DesChutes Medical Products in the mid1990s, Hoskins, now 49, adapted a microsurgery pump system so he could use it while cycling. It was the precursor to his latest product, the Sidestream Hydration Waistpack, which he expects to begin selling next month.

Personal portable drinking water systems became popular in the early to mid-1990s, tracking the rise in popularity of mountain

biking. Mountain bikers wanted to take along enough water for hours-long rides.

But Hoskins, who calls his company Mazama Designs, has pitched the Sidestream to runners and nordic skiers, who might be reluctant to carry the heavy supply of water mountain bikers pack for a few hours of riding.

The Sidestream measures 8½ by 10 inches, has a 27-ounce capacity and a retractable drinking

tube. Resembling a fanny pack, the Sidestream also sits on the runner’s lower back, reducing the amount of bouncing, and over the runner’s center of gravity.

“The waistpack is a nice option for a runner, especially for short distance,” he said. “You don’t need that much weight.”

When it was introduced in 2007, the Sidestream made a splash, even getting a write-up in The New York Times.

But Hoskins, who’s listed as inventor or co-inventor on nine patents, had to set aside future improvements for his work at DesChutes Medical Products, where he and Dr. Michel Boileau patented a bite valve in 2000 for a hydration bladder, which they later licensed to K2 Sports, the outdoor products company based in Vashon, Wash.

WASHINGTON — The Federal Reserve is back in the spotlight, with investors anxiously wondering if the central bank will end a two-month hiatus and announce new measures to support the economy today.

Under its chairman, Ben Bernanke, the Fed has pushed the boundaries of its authority and defied opposition during its unprecedented four-year-old campaign to rescue the financial system and revive the economy.

As the Fed’s policymaking board convenes today, with the gains of the last two years slipping away and the rest of the government focused on getting smaller, the looming question is whether Bernanke and his lieutenants are willing to press deeper into uncharted waters.

Bernanke has held the Fed steady since June, saying that he wanted to judge the health of the economy for several months before considering any additional measures.

Crook County set to move forward with solar project

By Ed Merriman The Bulletin

Prineville and Crook County taxpayers may not have to pay a dime to install solar systems on 18 government buildings under the city’s first multibuilding renewable energy program, provided a third party steps up to finance the work in exchange for tax and energy credits, said city and county officials Monday.

Officials expected to publish a request early this week for proposals from companies interested in bidding to supply and install the solar equipment, as well as proposals from companies interested in purchasing renewable energy tax credits that will pay for the projects and be retired in about 12 years, said Eric Klann, Prineville city engineer.

To move forward with the projects, the city and county must line up one or more businesses to buy the tax credits, and then the projects must break ground by January to qualify for the tax incentives.

Crook County Commissioner Ken Fahlgren said the renewable energy tax credits can be used by third parties to offset up to 30 percent of their annual state tax liability.

Upscale hotels are reimagining their gift shops

By Terry Trucco New York Times News Service

The hotel shop, with its practical mix of sundries, souvenirs and candy bars, has been a predictable if uninspired lobby fixture for years. But as hotels scramble to distinguish themselves, many are rethinking their shops, upgrading and expanding merchandise and fashioning shops as destinations for both guests and local residents, much as they did with restaurants a decade ago.

More Barneys than Walgreens, shops at many upscale hotels in the United States and abroad are increasingly flaunting the trappings of high-style boutiques.

In addition to toothpaste and floss, the shops now stock items found in voguish gift shops, fashion emporiums and even art galleries. They also stock goods specially made for the hotel that go beyond bathrobes and sheets.

Amid turmoil, consumers get a break on gas prices

C OV ER S T OR I ES

Cabin has new look in Boeing Dreamliner

By Clifford Krauss New York Times News Service

HOUSTON — The growing gloom about the economy has pushed down oil and gasoline prices, along with the prices of an array of other commodities. And while that could mean more spending power for consumers, perhaps tempering any possible downturn, the steep drop in energy prices reflects worries that economic activity is headed in the wrong direction.

Since April, the price of the U.S. benchmark crude oil has fallen by roughly $30 a barrel, with more than half the drop occurring in just the last two weeks. On Monday, oil closed at $81.31 a barrel, down more than 6 percent. The decline in recent months is the most rapid in nearly three years, when oil and gasoline prices collapsed in response to the financial crisis.

As a result, drivers could see a gallon of regular gasoline selling for a national average of as little as $3.25 next month, a drop of more than 40 cents from current levels, according to economists.

While that will be helpful for many consumers, who recently were paying $4 a gallon in some states, the decline is a byproduct of “a pretty sick economy,” said Allen Sinai, chief global economist for Decision Economics, a consulting firm. “Crude oil futures are economically sensitive, so the picture for us and the world economy is bleak.”

Still, lower oil and gas prices do provide a modest economic lift. Some economists compare them to a tax cut since they put extra dollars in people’s pockets.

The average household consumes 1,200 gallons of gasoline a year, which translates into a $120 annual savings for every dime shaved off the price of gas, according to Fred Rozell, director of retail pricing at the Oil Price Information Service.

“Everybody is helped when gasoline prices come down,” said Michael Niemira, chief economist for the International Council of Shopping Centers. The rule of thumb of many economists is that every $10 drop in the price of a barrel of oil increases economic growth by 0.2 to 0.3 percentage point, although in the event of a broad economic slowdown, that increase is likely to be offset by other factors, such as cutbacks in consumer spending and business investment, economists say.

Fed Continued from B1 But the news since then has been uniformly grim. The government reported that the economy grew at an annual rate of only 0.8 percent in the first half of the year. The number of people with jobs is shrinking. Governments at all levels are slashing spending. The stock market has plunged, evaporating vast amounts of household wealth.

And investors once again are fleeing Bank of America and Citigroup, rescued at such a heavy toll only two years ago.

Close watchers of the central bank had expected that this meeting in August would pass quietly, with difficult decisions deferred until the autumn. But just as happened last summer, the moment is rising to meet the Fed. “I think that they should reconsider their judgment” to wait, said Joseph Gagnon, a former Federal Reserve official and now a scholar at the Peterson Institute for International Economics.

Gagnon said Bernanke, who has said publicly that he is reluctant to act, was right to fear the consequences. “He is expressing the angst of a sailor in uncharted waters, in which he’s right,” he said, “but you have to weigh that against the very real cost in unemployment.”

The Fed keeps its eyes on the medium term, like a driver steering a car down a highway, because its actions only gradually affect the economy. Donald Kohn, who stepped down as the Fed’s vice chairman last year, said the recent setbacks were

Flight attendant Kyoko Kouokawa waits at the door of the plane during the unveiling of the first Boeing 787 destined for use by All Nippon Airways. One of the most noticeable things upon entering the plane is the high ceilings, creating a sense of openness rather than claustrophobia.

By Dominic Gates The Seattle Times

SEATTLE — Passengers who board the 787 Dreamliner, now almost ready to fly off to Japan, will find some impressive touches.

Boeing rolled out the first All Nippon Airways 787 for inspection over the weekend, and some of the details and features long promised by Boeing lived up to expectations.

Assuming the Dreamliner gets the thumbs up from the Federal Aviation Administration, Boeing is scheduled to deliver the jet next month.

Don’t expect a total revolution in the airplane experience.

It’s the airlines and not Boeing that decide elements such as how much leg room you’ll have.

All Nippon Airways plans to fly the 787 on short-haul domestic routes in Japan, carrying a tightly packed 264 passengers in a plane Boeing advertised as carrying up to 250.

Leg room in economy section is similar to that on today’s U.S. domestic flights.

But looking at the features Boeing was able to change, the interior design should be a hit with passengers.

Immediately on entering, the jet seems different. An entrance atrium with a 10-foot high ceiling gives a sense of space, air and light instead of the usual feeling of claustrophobic enclosure.

ANA has placed a large bar to one side of this entrance, where spirits may be lifted by a row of wine bottles hooked securely into niches on the counter.

nonetheless significant, because they reduced the trajectory of growth, making it more likely that the Fed would need to act.

“To the extent that you thought fiscal policy was in a tightening mode, you’d factor that into your forecast,” said Kohn, now a fellow at the Brookings Institution. “And to the extent that you thought the stock market was reducing the country’s wealth, the cost of credit for marginal borrowers was rising, you would want to factor those into your forecast and into your monetary policy decisions.”

The Fed has held its benchmark short-term interest rate near zero since December 2008, flooding the financial system with the nearest thing to free money. The central bank also has amassed a portfolio of $2.9 trillion in Treasuries and mortgage-backed securities, driving down long-term interest rates by accepting low rates, and pushing investors into stocks and other riskier assets.

A number of independent studies have concluded that the asset purchases gave the economy a modest but meaningful boost by reducing interest rates, an argument that can be summarized in the simple observation that the stock market climbed after the most recent round of purchases was announced last August; the purchase of $600 billion in securities was completed at the end of June; and now the market is falling.

What’s next Most public attention has focused on the possibility that the Fed will renew its asset purchas-

Advancing into the cabin aisles, even tall passengers will enjoy lots of headroom, thanks to the design of the stow bins that swivel upward out of the way.

Sophisticated lighting in the ceiling, which changes color to suit the phases of flight, adds to the effect of space overhead.

When taking a seat, the most arresting 787 feature is the window.

The windows are big, 30 percent larger than those on current airplanes. Even sitting in the middle seats of the wide cabin — which is configured eightabreast, 2-4-2, in economy — one can glance sideways and see out the window.

And one of Boeing’s mosttouted technical innovations, the ability to darken the windows with the touch of a button, really is cool — so much so, that once a passenger in the window seat gets the hang of the push-button control, he or she will pretty well be compelled to play with what seems like magic.

(It’s science, actually. The opacity of the window, from clear to dark, is controlled electronically. An electric current is applied to a layer of gel sandwiched between two thin pieces of glass, and a chemical reaction causes the window to darken.)

The technology allows the flight attendants, or the passenger in the window seat, to control the light without entirely blotting out the view. Even at the darkest setting, from the window seat one can still see outside, as if looking through very dark sunglasses.

On ANA flights, the toilets reveal a feature you won’t find on U.S. airlines.

They double as bidets, with push-button electronic control of various spray options.

Most of the toilets are regular airline size, but one in the middle of the cabin is double-sized and has a window. For privacy, perhaps more on the ground than at 30,000 feet, that window has both the electronic dimmer and a regular plastic sliding shade.

The first Dreamliner will have a special inaugural flight, likely in October, from Tokyo to Hong Kong. ANA senior executive vice president Mitsuo Morimoto said Saturday that the first regular passenger flights will fly routes from Tokyo to Okayama and to Hiroshima.

He said ANA will take a dozen Dreamliners between now and the end of March and eight in the following 12 months.

After the airline opens those first two domestic Japanese routes, it will configure its next Dreamliners with just 158 seats — a much-less-dense 46 business class seats and 112 economy — to fly long-distance either to Europe or the U.S. The Dreamliner can fly direct from Japan to the East Coast of the U.S. Though ANA does not fly to Seattle currently, the 787 could open up that possibility since the jet is smaller than today’s long-range airplanes — such as the 365-seat 777 or the 416-seat 747 — and so can be filled even serving cities with less traffic than destinations such as New York or L.A.

es, the most drastic option available to the central bank, but also the one it has said is the most unlikely.

There are even reasons to think a new round of asset purchases could be more potent.

Because rates already are low, a similar reduction in rates would be larger in percentage terms.

Also, the first round of purchases presumably plucked Treasuries from the hands of those most willing to sell. The remaining holders are likely to demand a better deal, driving down interest rates more.

The most basic measure available to the Fed is to promise that it will keep interest rates near zero for at least six months, or a year, or some other specified period of time. The central bank has promised after each of its meetings since late 2008 to keep interest rates near zero “for an extended period.” Earlier this year, Bernanke said that each renewal of that promise meant there would be no changes for at least a few months. A promise with a more distant expiration date would reduce uncertainty about at least one aspect of the economy.

The Fed also could make a similar commitment for the first time regarding its huge investment portfolio. Selling assets removes money from circulation, tightening monetary conditions, so a promise to maintain the portfolio for a certain number of months would have a similar effect. Moreover, the Fed has said it will start to sell assets before raising interest rates, so a promise about the portfolio also would extend the Fed’s commitment to maintain low rates.

Another available option would be to maintain the size of the portfolio, but to shift its composition toward bonds with longer terms. The Fed initially was reluctant to do this because those bonds would take longer to disappear naturally, but that concern may have been eased by the board’s affirmative decision eventually to shrink its portfolio through asset sales.

None of these options is likely to spur growth significantly.

Economists generally agree that the economy is suffering from a lack of demand. The Fed can provide lots of money at low cost, but it can’t convince companies to build new factories unless they think there will be a market for their products. And it can’t convince consumers to spend money on those products if they don’t have jobs, or they’ve already borrowed more money than they can afford to repay.

Shops

said. Some hotels also receive a portion of the sales revenue.

So far, most retailing innovation has come from small boutique chains and higher-end independent properties. At large chains like Marriott or Westin, shops in leisure markets where the average stay is five days have taken the lead, usually with clothing or items related to the locale, Hanson said. “It’s market by market and hotel by hotel rather than systemwide corporate initiatives.”

W Hotels, with stores in 18 of its 41 properties worldwide, is widely credited with devising the blueprint for the high-concept hotel shop in 2002, when it outfitted the W New York shop with high-style clothing, accessories and scented candles but no sundries. Two years ago, the chain hired a fashion director to oversee twice-yearly W clothing collections, designed exclusively for W and introduced at New York Fashion Week and at hotel trunk shows.

“For us the main drive behind the collections is less to make money and more a way to provide the W experience beyond the hotel so people can live with it in their homes,” said Eva Ziegler, W Hotel’s global brand leader. Though the shops do not lose money, bedding and beds sold online “are the big income makers,” she said.

Hotels acknowledge that retailing and hospitality require different types of expertise. Most form partnerships with or lease space to professional retailers.

Increasingly, those retailers are local boutiques, like Base in Miami Beach, which has an outpost at the Delano South Beach, or Opening Ceremony at Ace New York.

“Our shop is like a curated version of our downtown store, with special things for hotel guests like $2 Have a Nice Day toothbrushes, Haribo candies, Walkers potato chips and Kiehl’s Creme de Corps,” said Humberto Leon, co-owner of Opening Ceremony.

Yet even for seasoned retailers, hotel shops present unique merchandising requirements.

Though many stock attentiongrabbers, like the $1 million apartment on sale through the Mondrian South Beach vending machine, the best-selling items are in the $10 to $50 category.

“It’s about spontaneous purchases,” Ziegler said.

Continued from B2 Cocktail dresses, bracelets and earrings designed exclusively for W Hotels are featured in W hotel shops in cities like Mexico City, London and Barcelona, Spain. The Standard Hotel in New York invites artists to create installations in the shop, which are offered for sale along with limited-edition prints, posters and even playing cards based on their work. Staples like magazines, jewelry and fragrances also are for sale.

Some hotels are rethinking the concept of the shop itself, including shops at several properties operated by the Morgans Hotel Group.

With no space for a shop, the Mondrian South Beach installed an oversize vending machine, called a Semi-Automatic, stocked with items like $10 heart-shaped sunglasses and $350 gold-plated handcuffs.

Earlier this year, St. Martins Lane hotel in London replaced its sundry shop with a pop-up shop, where retailers, including a vinyl record dealer and a gelato maker, take up residence for two to three months.

And at the new Mondrian Soho in New York, where space is at a premium, guests can use an in-room iPad to shop for an expanded list of minibar offerings, including Rogan sweaters and shirts.

Items are delivered to the room in 10 minutes.

Golden opportunity With occupancy rates and the number of travelers on the rise, industry experts predict growth in high-concept hotel shops.

“Shops are one of the remaining opportunities hotels have for people to say ‘This place is different, better, cleverer and more exciting than I expected,’” said Bjorn Hanson, divisional dean of the Preston Robert Tisch Center for Hospitality, Tourism and Sports Management at New York University.

Hotels need to determine whether they can make more money leasing space to a shop than leasing to some other business, like a restaurant or bar, experts say. Depending on the property and shop location, hotels charge vendors as much as $1,000 a square foot and as little as $50, Hanson

T F A push to change the way Wikipedia gathers knowledge

leted from English Wikipedia if it didn’t have any sources to cite.

Those are the rules of the game, and those are the rules he would like to change, or at least bend, or, if all else fails, work around.

At an Old Navy store in New York the other day, Fabienne Michel made a routine purchase of khaki shorts. But she left the store without something equally routine: her receipt.

The sales clerk had sent it to Michel by e-mail. “It’s easier,” said Michel, a 30-year-old nurse.

“You can reprint it, save it, make folders in your e-mail.”

To the rubbish pile that the Internet is creating, alongside the road maps, newspapers and music CDs, add one more artifact of American consumer life, the paper receipt.

Major retailers, including Whole Foods Market, Nordstrom, Gap Inc. (which owns Old Navy and Banana Republic), Anthropologie, Patagonia, Sears and Kmart, have begun offering electronic versions of receipts, either e-mailed or uploaded to password-protected websites.

And more and more customers, the retailers report, are opting for paperless.

“As consumers, we’re changing the way we shop,” said Jennifer Miles, who oversees retail systems at VeriFone, which makes checkout technology.

“Customers are starting to want electronic receipts.”

Many people like keeping searchable records on a computer — e-receipts come in handy during tax season, make some returns a snap and are a tidy addition to the e-purchases already stored on countless hard drives.

Others see the paper versions as an anachronism, wasteful of resources and as irrelevant as printed bank statements and mutual fund reports.

And face it, paper receipts can be annoyances, burrowing into the bottoms of purses, getting lost in glove compartments or fattening up wallets — only to be pulled out and puzzled over long after their usefulness has expired.

“I throw them out,” said Francesca Joseph, 29, who was shopping with Michel at the Old Navy store.

A rite of passage Retailers first bandied about the idea of electronic receipts in the late 1990s, but the dot-com crash stopped most of the efforts, said Birame Sock, who runs an electronic-receipt company.

In 2005, Apple introduced electronic receipts at its stylish retail stores. More mainstream retailers found the checkout system difficult to replicate and, Miles said, worried that most shoppers were not quite ready for such a technological leap.

Now, though, the rush to imitate Apple’s success is in full force, and paperless receipts have become a rite of passage for retailers trying to integrate the digital experience into their brick and mortar stores.

Sock said that once mobile phones were widely used to make payments, as with Google Wallet and other efforts, e-receipts would become standard.

“A lot of these retailers are looking into mobile payments, and with mobile payments, you have to talk about the digital receipt,”

Nostalgia — or not

As paper receipts disintegrate, some people are a bit wistful.

Chris Otto runs a website called Papergreat, which analyzes abandoned bits of paper including old receipts, like a 1907 receipt from L.B. Hantz, a repairman in York, Pa., that included detailed drawings of a furnace and a stove.

“It’s going to make it interesting for future historians,” said Otto, who has kept the receipt for the first meal he bought the woman who is now his wife — a hot dog with mustard and ketchup at a Sheetz convenience store.

“They’re going to have to be more into the computer forensics things if they want to find out what people spent money on, and how they lived.”

Jesse Billin could not care less about such nostalgia. An entrepreneur in Chocorua, N.H., Billin said he was eager for the day when all receipts were digital.

“I don’t think I’ve ever held on to a receipt thinking, ‘That was a really great pair of chinos. I want to remember those babies forever,’” he said.

Beyond the cost savings and environmental benefit (an estimated 9.6 million trees are cut each year for receipts in the United States, according to allEtronic, a digital receipt company), the e-receipts present marketing opportunities for retailers. Gap, Nordstrom and many other stores, for example, add the customer’s e-mail address to a mailing list for followup offers.

That marketing potential is a drawback to some customers, said Robert Cohen, vice president of retail at Patagonia,

which began offering e-receipts nine months ago. “People are very protective of their e-mail in-box,” he said, so only about one-third of Patagonia’s customers choose an electronic receipt.

Sock’s service, MyReceipts, tries to sidestep e-mail objections by offering other electronic delivery options. The company is working with retailers like

ing, a Bend company that makes products in China through its offices and factories in China and Taiwan.

Hoskins received some of the latest Sidestreams last week from a preliminary production run, he said, and after some minor changes, he expects full production to begin in time to have an inventory by late next month.

Continued from B1 “The bite valve we developed got to be one of two main bite valves used in hydration systems,” said Hoskins, who grew up in Eugene.

After DesChutes Medical was sold in 2009, Hoskins decided to return to work on sports hydration systems, although the field had become crowded since he began working in the area more than a dozen years earlier. He also has been consulting for other sporting goods and medical device companies.

“I wasn’t interested in going back into the medical device industry,” he said.

Unlike medical devices, which require federal approval, with sports hydration systems, Hoskins said, he “can test the stuff myself; the product costs are lower, and the time (for development) is a lot quicker.”

Over the last couple of years, Hoskins tinkered with the Sidestream’s design and shifted production from the U.S. to China, with the help of TSI Manufactur-

Q:

Why did it take more than a year after DesChutes Medical Products sold before you began producing new models?

I was doing it a little bit at a time. Just getting it right has been more challenging, too.

But I’m pretty happy. I think it’s definitely an improvement on the previous model.

(Also) I was making them here in the U.S. before and making them mostly with off-the-shelf parts. So shifting them to Asia has been a big transition.

Has it been difficult getting the product made in China?

plications on a tight deadline to qualify for the tax credits available this year through Pacific Power. Oregon’s Feed-in Tariff program, established by the 2009 Legislature with rules adopted by the state Public Utility Commission, includes a combination of state tax credits, as well as reduced electric rates and payments from utility companies for solar generated power.

The applications submitted sought to install 21 solar systems and 18 were approved. The tax credits are available to pay upfront costs for solar equipment and installation. “We will enter into a solar power purchase agreement with the third parties.

The agreement says we maintain the solar systems and the third party is paying for the solar system, and in return they get the tax incentives provided by the Feed-in Tariff,” Klann said.

Moshrek Sobhy, senior utility analyst with the Oregon Public Utility Commission, said in addition to the tax credits, the thirdparty investors or the owners of solar systems installed under the program also receive credit from the utility for electricity generated by the solar systems until the tax credits expire. The maximum period for tax credits under the program is 15 years.

Then the credit for solar power generated goes to the owner, which in this case would be the city and county.

Continued from B1 While his initial goal was to build a large solar grid on up to 40 acres on the edge of town capable of supplying all of the power for 20 to 30 government buildings, Fahlgren said the scaled-back program included in Monday’s request for proposals is doable with available Oregon Solar Pilot Feed-in Tariff funds, and is a good first step.

Klann said once the 18 solar systems are up and running, they will provide valuable information about how much solar energy is actually generated, maintenance costs and durability.

For the city, the plan includes adding two solar systems at the city’s public works plant, one at a city well pump, one at City Hall and one at Meadow Lakes Golf Course.

For the county, the plan includes installing solar systems at the sheriff’s department, county jail, the county’s mental health department and 10 other sites county officials refused to identify on Monday.

“I believe this is the first significant program on renewable energy of government buildings” in the city of Prineville or Crook County, said Steve Forrester, Prineville city manager, on Monday.

In April, a team of city and county employees submitted ap-

How has the design field changed during your career?

The biggest thing today, even compared to 10 years ago, the tools and resources available are pretty amazing. You can be so much more productive than 10 years ago. (With the Internet, you can) e-mail drawings, and they give you a plastic part in 10 days.

It’s very empowering. It’s a good thing for people who have ideas and want to do something.

By Ylan Q. Mui The Washington Post

The impact on your wallet of the Standard & Poor’s downgrade of the nation’s credit rating is similar to what would happen if your own credit score declined: The cost of borrowing money is likely to go up. Here are five things to keep in mind as financial markets respond to this historic event.

1. Uncle Sam’s interest rate may rise.

S&P is one of three major rating agencies that assess the riskiness of large institutions such as corporations and governments.

The downgrade reflects a lack of confidence in the U.S. government to pay its debts over time.

Riskier countries have to pay higher interest rates, just as riskier consumers do. S&P’s decision rocked the United States — and the world — because the nation has generally been considered one of the safest investments around.

2. If the government pays more, you pay more.

Q:

You learned K2 was seeking a hydration valve, but how do you go from a medical-device valve to a hydration system valve?

For me it’s an iterative process. You spend a lot of time just brainstorming ideas. You just go through as many thoughts as you can, a lot of iterations.

Even before the solar systems are paid off, the city and county will reap rewards from lower power bills, and possibly even payments from the power company.

While there may be no costs to taxpayers, Sobhy said it’s possible power rates charged to customers of Pacific Power, Portland General Electric or Idaho Power may go up at some point in the future to compensate the companies for their costs associated with solar and other renewable energy programs. So far, however, none of the companies have done so.

When energy consumption is high, the city and county will use electricity generated by the solar systems to offset grid power usage and reduce monthly electric bills from Pacific Power. When the city and county power use is low, the solar system will feed electricity back to the grid, generating a credit or payment from Pacific Power, Klann said. “If we were consuming no power the solar panels actually spin the meter backward and actually feed the grid,” he said.

Fahlgren expects the program to be completed by 2012.

“I hope this is just the beginning to add green energy to our community in the hope we can save the taxpayers money and keep the environment safe,” he said.

Markets Continued from B1 Even though the ratings agency Standard & Poor’s downgraded U.S. debt a notch from the sterling AAA rating on Friday, judging it a slightly higher risk than before, many still deem Treasuries to be safer than just about any other investment.

Typically, a downgrade would cause investors to sell, but financial turmoil in Europe and policy gridlock in Washington overrode concerns about the downgrade. “This is investors running from risk wherever they see it,” said David Kelly, chief market strategist at JPMorgan Funds. “The biggest risk we face here is recession.”

In the wake of the financial collapse more than two years ago, the government took various steps to invigorate the economy, pouring money into the financial system and adopting stimulus spending.

Some economists think more stimulus spending is needed now to keep the economy from slowing further, but this seems unlikely given that many Re-

Ed Merriman can be reached at 541-617-7820 or emerriman@bendbulletin.com.

The interest rate the United States pays on its short-term loans is determined by the market for Treasury bills. The downgrade could increase the yields on those bonds, forcing the government to spend more to borrow the same amount of money.

Many consumer loans, such as credit cards and mortgages, are linked to the yield on Treasuries and therefore would also rise.

3. Not everything will change.

Many major consumer loans have fixed interest rates that won’t change even if the cost of borrowing rises for the federal government. Far-reaching changes to the credit card industry that took effect last year prohibit lenders from changing their interest rates without giving at least 45 days notice in most cases. They also won’t be able to increase the rate on purchases you’ve already made, only new ones. But if you want a loan for a new car or college tuition, for example, be prepared for higher rates.

4. What’s the worst-case sce-

nario for me?

John Ulzheimer, president of consumer education for SmartCredit.com, thinks the downgrade could force some homeowners to default on a portion of their mortgages, exacerbating the housing crisis. During the economic boom, many people financed their homes with two loans: a standard mortgage and a special home equity line of credit. These HELOCS require borrowers to pay only the interest on the loan, and the rate varies each month. If there is a significant increase, some homeowners may not be able to make payments.

5. What’s the worst-case scenario for Uncle Sam? The S&P downgrade is likely to be a blow to the economy.

The real pain won’t be felt unless the two other ratings agencies, Moody’s and Fitch, follow suit. Last week, the companies said they still believe the United States deserves the highest credit rating — but they warned that could change.

publicans say the country can ill afford to add to the gaping budget deficit with more spending.

It was not just the stock market that was rattled. A few obscure but important parts of the credit market also showed signs of some stress. For example, the market for commercial paper, short term loans that companies use to finance themselves, became less favorable. This was not nearly as bad as during the financial crisis, but people will be keeping an eye on this to see if conditions deteriorate.

“The cause of all this was the marking down of growth expectations,” said Barry Knapp, strategist at Barclays Capital.

“It has morphed into one giant global growth recession concern.”

The trading day opened ominously in the U.S., following sharp drops of stocks in Asia and in Europe. The European Central Bank sought to calm investors by intervening aggressively in bond markets with special measures to help support financially troubled Spain and Italy, to little avail.

On the floor of the New York Stock Exchange, Doreen Mo-

gavero, a trader for Mogavero, Lee & Co., noted that other traders had canceled vacations in anticipation of a wild day. Extra staff was on duty to make sure the computer systems were working properly as volumes surged.

The exchange processed a record 390 million orders in the first hour of trading, eclipsing the last record in May 2010. All told, 18 billion shares trades on the nation’s stock market, the most active day in a year.

Many investors — burned by the relentless decline of stocks in the months following the financial collapse in fall 2008 — seem inclined to sell rather than wait. “It is the psychological impact that I am concerned about in terms of confidence on the market,” said Mogavero.

Hank Smith, chief investment officer at Haverford Investments of Pennsylvania, which serves private and institutional investors, said he was fielding calls from clients who “are anxious about is this a replay of 2008-2009 and do I have to go through that again?” he said. “But we say the fundamentals are very different. Corporate America has fortress like balance sheets.”

State Bar seeks more information in DA investigation

“Foggy Smith Rock�

The Oregon State Bar has asked Deschutes County District Attorney Patrick Flaherty for more information about his actions earlier this year in connection with an ongoing investigation.

In an Aug. 2 letter to Flaherty, a state bar attorney asked for Flaherty’s response to several concerns that the Deschutes County commissioners raised in late July.

Flaherty used a grand jury to investigate a county attorney’s release of new prosecutors’ job applications to The Bulletin in February in response to a public

records request. In a letter to the bar last month, attorneys hired by the county commissioners wrote that Flaherty may have violated some of the bar’s rules of professional conduct for lawyers and committed the crime of official misconduct under state law.

In the bar’s Aug. 2 letter to Flaherty, Assistant Disciplinary Counsel Susan Roedl Cournoyer asked the district attorney to explain why he told the county’s information technology director not to tell anyone that he was subpoenaed to appear before the grand jury and bring internal county emails and other data.

Oregon Democrats pen letter in support of small post offices

By Andrew Clevenger The Bulletin

“Hideous cling�

WASHINGTON — The Democratic members of Oregon’s congressional delegation sent a letter to U.S. Postmaster General Patrick Donahoe on Monday to express their concern over the possible closure of more than 40 post offices in Oregon. “In many communities, post offices are a central part of the town. Some have been in exis-

tence for over a hundred years and in some towns the post office is one of only a few retail shops,� the letter states. “Having a post office is central to a town’s identity and the decision to close post offices should not be taken lightly.�

The letter was signed by Sens.

Jeff Merkley and Ron Wyden, as well as U.S. Reps. Earl Blumenauer, Peter DeFazio and Kurt Schrader.

VA to choose new clinic site by early 2012 The Associated Press EUGENE — The Veterans Administration hopes to decide by early next year on a site for the long-awaited $40 million medical clinic serving the Eugene-Springfield area.

Kelli Witt, a VA real estate specialist, said she and other VA officials toured potential sites in July, and the selection process will get moving in a few weeks. A developer should be chosen by February.

Congress approved the clinic in 2009. It is expected to employ 200 and will save people from having to travel to Roseburg for treatment.

Developers or landowners would build the 160,000square-foot structure and lease it to the VA for 20 years.

Witt said she could not divulge the sites being considered, or even how many there are, because that information could push up the price.

Prominent Eugene developers Steve Master, who built Valley River Station across from Valley River Center, and John Musumeci, who built Crescent Village, have been mentioned in real estate circles as contenders for the project. Musumeci has said he

Sheriff: Bend man brandished, fired rifle A man was arrested Sunday after brandishing and firing a rifle on the lawn of a Bend residence, the Deschutes County Sheriff’s Office said.

Steven Hartford, 59, was arrested at a residence on Minnetonka Lane on suspicion of reckless endangering and felon in possession of a firearm.

Police received reports from several neighbors of a man yelling and waving a rifle around in the front yard of a home. There were also reports of gunfire.

When police arrived, they discovered Hartford at the scene, and ordered him to drop his .22 rifle. Hartford did so, and was taken to the Deschutes County jail.

Nobody was hurt during the incident.

TODAY’S HIGHLIGHT IN HISTORY On Aug. 9, 1941, President Franklin D. Roosevelt received British Prime Minister Winston Churchill aboard the USS Augusta off Newfoundland; although the two had once met briefly years earlier, this was their first encounter as the leaders of their respective countries. (The next day, Roosevelt visited Churchill aboard his ship, the HMS Prince of Wales.) The talks resulted in the Atlantic Charter defining goals for a postwar world.

Potential sites include the RiverRidge Golf Course off North Delta Highway, an area near Lane Community College, and sites on either side of Interstate 5 in the northern part of the metro area.

The only site Witt has publicly eliminated is the former PeaceHealth clinic in Eugene, because of cost issues.

VA started looking for 6acre sites, but now wants a 13acre location, Witt said.

U.S. Rep. Peter DeFazio, DSpringfield, said switching to the larger site limits potential locations, and will create a sprawling project that conflicts with state and city goals for compact urban development.

Witt said the VA needs 13 acres to house an expanded range of services, such as radiology and surgery. She added there are plenty of sites to choose from.

Dr. Alan Cohen, who oversees VA outpatient clinics in Southwest Oregon and is based in Eugene, said no place in the Eugene-Springfield area is out of the question, because it will mean no more long drives to Roseburg.

O “Look, I’m going to be involved. But whether we actually run or not — it’s hard to know.”

— Chris Dudley, 2010 Republican gubernatorial candidate

Door is still open for Dudley Gubernatorial candidate has recovered from 2010 defeat; may run again

By Jeff Barnard The Associated Press

By Jayme Fraser The Oregonian

VERNONIA — Chris Dudley razzes his oldest son as they do squats and butt kicks side-byside on a basketball court at the heart of a sunny, forested summer camp. Holding his right foot behind him to stretch the top of his thigh, Dudley loses his balance and, for a moment, puts his hand on Charlie’s shoulder. Minutes later, the former Trail Blazers center cleanly swings a leg over his son’s head and chuckles.

It is a snapshot of a man enjoying himself, spending time with his son at the annual basketball camp Dudley created nearly two decades ago to help teens realize that, like him, being diabetic doesn’t mean holding back their dreams.

After narrowly losing his bid to become Oregon’s first Republican governor in 24 years, Dudley has returned to the rhythms of private life, running the charitable Chris Dudley Foundation and working as a financial adviser.

Yet the Yale-educated diabetes advocate, who seemed to be a political novelty when he announced his campaign, still gets a glint in his eye when the discussion turns to politics. The loss — by a single percentage point — left Dudley and his family battered, but not defeated. He’s staying involved in the Republican Party and some hope he will run for political office again.

In the most detailed interview since the race, Dudley and his wife, Chris Love Dudley, tell The Oregonian they haven’t ruled out the possibility of another campaign, although when and for what office is far from decided.

Focusing on family For now, Dudley says, he wants to focus on the family that helped him through the campaign and the disappointment when it ended.

He fondly remembers election night at the Portland Rose Garden with thousands of supporters, family and friends, all celebrating as Dudley edged into the lead in the ballot count.

“At about 11:30 we still thought we were winning, and the crowd was so fired up — so fired up,” Dudley says with a wide grin that fades as he continues. “The following day was tough.”

As the last ballots from Multnomah County were counted it became apparent former Gov. John Kitzhaber, a Democrat, would claim a third term. Dudley had to tell his kids he would concede the race.

Former Republican candidate for governor and ex-Trail Blazers center Chris Dudley works out with campers at his annual basketball camp in Vernonia on Saturday. While Dudley says his defeat last November was tough on him and his family, running for office again is not an impossibility.

“They were like, ‘You can’t concede,’” Dudley recalls. “It delayed concession for an hour or so because of that. Just to kind of let everybody get those emotions out.”

He compares the result to “losing game seven by one point on a last second shot.”

A campaign doesn’t end with the tally of the votes, he says. Candidates must handle the last of finances, say goodbye to staff and thank many others that helped the campaign. Saying thank you — without asking for votes or support in return — helped Dudley move on after the loss and gave him perspective on what he had accomplished.

He thinks his campaign helped Oregon reach a better political balance with an emphasis on issues, not the “R” or “D” after someone’s name. It’s a theory borne out to some degree by the bipartisan spirit that dominated much of the most recent legislative session.

Democrats, however, largely attribute Dudley’s near success to the growth of a divisive “red tide.”

“To say he was a standalone Republican candidate would be a little bit false,” says Trent Lutz, executive director of the Democratic Party of Oregon. Lutz points to Democrats losing a supermajority in the Oregon Legislature and to tighter congressional races as evidence that while Dudley “was absolutely a strong opponent,” his success was linked to a national surge of Republican support.

And if Dudley were to run again, Lutz says he would still face the same big challenge of the 2010 election: political inexperience.

Oregon Republicans say inexperience wasn’t as big of a handicap as it might seem. The image of Dudley as a fresh face without ties to a government fewer and

Descendants of city’s founder to attend bicentennial event

By Chelsea Gorrow The Daily Astorian

ASTORIA — Descendants of the 18th century German-American merchant John Jacob Astor will be attending the city of Astoria’s bicentennial celebrations this week.

Mayor Willis Van Dusen said their visit will be the “crown on

A party from Astor’s Pacific Fur Company landed at the mouth of the Columbia River in 1811 and established a settlement.

Members of the Astor family have visited Astoria and made contributions to the community over the years.

fewer Americans support was one reason he did so well, says Greg Leo, spokesman for the Oregon Republican Party. It’s also a reason he could do well in a future campaign.

“We sure hope Chris will run for political office again,” Leo says.

For one thing, Leo says, “he’s an excellent retail politician” with fantastic charisma. And he noted that Dudley learned a lot from the last campaign by immersing himself in the intricacies of Oregon policy.

“You weigh him against John Kitzhaber who’s been in political office for three decades and of course you’re going to find it took him a little bit to get to the same depth of knowledge,” Leo says.

Clackamas County commissioner?

Some Republicans have speculated that Dudley would be a great candidate for the Clackamas County Board of Commissioners or for the 5th Congressional District that covers much of the county, stretches to the coast and bumps against Central Oregon.

“He brought in a lot of folks that are willing to take a second look at the Republican Party because of his ambassadorship,” Leo says.

“I think he would be very viable in another office.”

But that’s up to Dudley — and his family. When asked about the possibility, he looks to his wife, Chris.

“Why are you lookin’ at me?” she asks. They both laugh before he answers.

“I don’t know. It’s a tough, tough deal on the family,” he says.

“Look, I’m going to be involved.

But whether we actually run or

not — it’s hard to know.”

He tames his usually booming voice and demurely asks his wife, “I don’t know, what do you think?”

“Well, you hate to close the door on anything,” she answers.

“My apprehension is that I don’t like people to label each other.”

She says, in some ways, it’s tougher after the election because people continue to assume they know everything about her values and who she is based on her husband’s party affiliation.

“It’s really disheartening for me to have people that aren’t nice to us when all we cared about was being a part of making the state better,” she says.

Dudley says he’s still working on some of the same issues he campaigned for, primarily education and health care. The campaign helped him build a support network to help him advocate, as a person not a politician, he says.

He and his wife both say it’s nice to return to the Chris Dudley Basketball Camp without a campaign on their minds. His easy smile and the way he leans back on a bench so that he doesn’t loom above anyone keep the teens and staff coming back. All the counselors and coaches started as campers.

Instead of planning the next campaign stop, the Dudleys are eager for the annual volleyball match between camp counselors and Team Twin Towers, which of course includes Dudley, his wife, a tall camper-turned-counselor and the rotating line-up of his two boys and their friends. Dudley’s daughter watches nearby.

“Coming out here is a reminder of what’s good in life,” Dudley says. “Especially after last year, it’s refreshing.”

The Associated Press SALEM — An autopsy has found that a Salem couple found dead in a hot tub died of overheating and drowning and their deaths were believed to be accidental.

Dr. Larry Lewman of the state medical examiner’s office says 56-year-old Terry Kent and 57-year-old Melinda Sweeten died of “immersion hyperthermia,” and said heat was the primary factor in their deaths.

Lewman says the deaths were likely accidental.

Marion County Sheriff’s Office spokesman Don Thomson says the couple were found Monday morning by a relative who was planning to drop off a child in their care for the day.

An E. coli outbreak traced to fresh strawberries picked from a farm in Washington County has killed one person and sickened at least nine others, Oregon health officials said Monday.

The Oregon Public Health Authority identified the source of the outbreak Monday as the Jaquith Strawberry Farm near Newberg, located about 25 miles southwest of Portland.

Four people have been hospitalized. The fatality was an elderly woman from Washington County who died of kidney failure, the department said.

Six other people may have been infected in the outbreak, officials said.

Those infected are from Washington, Clatsop and Multnomah counties in northwestern Oregon.

This is the first time that the strain known as E coli 0157:H7 has been found in strawberries, said Dr. Paul Cieslak, manager of the state agency’s communicable disease section.

The source of the bacteria is likely fecal material from

a deer, and the farm does not appear to have been doing anything wrong, he said.

The strawberries were sold to buyers who resold them at farm stands and farmers markets, Cieslak said. The farm stopped production in July and its fruit is no longer on the market.

The farm recalled the berries and has been cooperating with the investigation, the health authority said. The farm did not immediately return a telephone call for comment.

The Oregon Strawberry Commission expressed its sympathy to those infected, but noted that it is an isolated case, and the fruit is no longer on the market.

Cieslak said health officials are concerned about strawberries from the farm that have been frozen, because freezing does not kill the bacteria and could result in more illnesses later when people use the fruit. He urged people to throw out strawberries from the farm unless they have been cooked.

Officials said strawberries bought in supermarkets are safe, as are strawberries bought anywhere after Aug. 1, south of Benton County and east of Multnomah County. The farm’s U-pick field does not appear to have been infected.

Shift the medical marijuana debate

O

regonians have danced all around legalizing marijuana for at least 30 years, rejecting far more proposals to ease restrictions on the drug than they have agreed to. What

they have agreed to is the state’s current medical marijuana law. It allows Oregonians to grow and possess small amounts of the drug if they can persuade a doctor to sign off on the idea.

As of July 1 of this year, some 49,220 Oregonians are doing just that, according to statistics compiled by the Oregon Health Authority.

The state’s divided view of the drug can be seen in the positions taken by two leaders in the move either to loosen or narrow the right to use marijuana for medical purposes.

State Rep. Andy Olson, R-Albany, is a former cop who wants to see the law tightened: Worried about the rapid expansion of the program, he would make it more difficult for those under the age of 18 and those who have been convicted of drug-related felonies to obtain user cards. Meanwhile, Bob Wolfe, director of the Oregon Marijuana Policy Initiative, is working on an initiative effort that would expand the state’s flawed program by making dispensaries legal in Oregon, some-

thing voters rejected last year.

Wolfe has another initiative in mind for the 2012 ballot, this one an up-or-down vote on legalizing marijuana altogether. It may be a more difficult sell. Voters have twice rejected proposals to legalize the drug, and in 2004 they refused to allow medical users to possess more than the amount allowed in the original law.

An up-or-down vote on legalization has advantages. Medical marijuana is branded as an effort to help the sick. It does. It’s also flawed. It is too easy for people who aren’t sick to get a medical marijuana card.

Legalization is the real controversy. Oregonians may back it or block it.

There are cases to be made for both.

But that, at least, would be a candid debate.

Carbon ‘sinks’ a meager silver lining to forest plan

N

ature can be allowed to decide the fate of Oregon forests — come wildfire, come disease, come what may. But most people don’t want that. So the debate is over how public forests should be managed.

The Northwest Forest Plan, adopted in 1994, was one major attempt at management. Now scientists from Oregon State University and elsewhere say they have found an unintended benefit of the plan: it’s helped with carbon. Not harvesting public forests means the forests have become a carbon “sink” — a place that absorbs more carbon than it releases. It’s called carbon sequestration.

Governments and scientists have been looking at how forests might be used to offset or reduce carbon emissions. If the carbon storage of a forest can be accurately modeled and a price put on that, it could become part of the debate over whether public forest land is harvested.

But this consequence must be weighed against what else the Northwest Forest Plan has done. The goal of the plan was to save species, especially the Northern spotted owl, and to “produce a predictable and sustainable level of timber sales.” It didn’t work out as planned.

Owl habitat was saved. But instead of a spotted owl paradise, the barred owl thrives in the same habitat and threatens to drive the spotted owl out.

The U.S. Fish and Wildlife service has considered killing thousands of barred

owls in another attempt to save the spotted owl.

Then there’s the timber harvest.

Whether or not you believe too many trees were cut down on federal forest land before the plan, the harvests have only been about half the level the plan itself saw as sustainable. It’s made it more difficult to do the thinning necessary to reduce the danger of wildfire.

And it wiped out jobs in Oregon’s timber industry. Counties depending on proceeds from timber revenue are still struggling with how to make up for it.

“From 1990 to 2000, private-sector forestry and logging declined from 15,774 jobs statewide to 12,887, a loss of 2,887 jobs, or 18 percent,” the state Employment Department says. Timber harvests dropped from 6.2 billion board feet to 3.9 billion board feet over the same period. By 2009, it was down to 9,391 jobs and 2.7 million board feet.

The Northwest Forest Plan didn’t do all of that, but nobody believes it hasn’t played a major part.

The new study will be used by some to further the argument that there is more reason to not harvest trees on public land. But the Northwest Forest Plan has sequestered more than just carbon. It’s sequestered jobs. It’s sequestered necessary thinning. It’s meant that the trees to build homes are cut far away where there is little regulation and oversight. Managing our forests should not mean the only trees that can be cut are from somewhere else.

My Nickel’s Worth Care was not denied The recent letter by Wallace Kundert calling a decision by Medicare — denying coverage for an unproven drug to treat his wife’s worsening medical condition — a “death panel” and a reason to repeal Obama’s Affordable Care Act totally misses the point of the decision. Care was not denied. All that was denied was a willingness of others (taxpayers) to pay for treatments of unproven value.

We expect every tax dollar to be spent in a cost-effective way. With medical care, there never has been nor can there ever be enough money to give all people what they want, when they want it. Limitations in some form are the only way to keep costs in balance with supporting tax revenue.

If Kundert wants the care list expanded, he must be willing to have his taxes correspondingly increased, which — although unstated — the tenor of his letter suggests he opposes as well. He can’t have it both ways.

Gil Eade Sunriver

Let the ‘rich’ do their thing A recent My Nickel’s Worth letter asked “Why shouldn’t the wealthy pay their fair share?” My question is just how much is their fair share? Statistics show that wealthy people in this country contribute a lion’s share of the tax revenues collected now. So how much more would make it their fair share?

The absolute fact is that taxing the so-called rich more, or even 100 percent, would not help one iota. Our

president — in his most recent speech — once again pushed for taxing the rich “their fair share,” somehow trying to convince listeners that by doing so our financial crisis would be solved.

Come on! I was born at night, but not last night, and that dog does not hunt!

So, how much of the rich man’s money should we take away? By the way, who was the last poor man to offer you a well-paying job? Or any job, for that matter? And how many workers do you think making Lear Jets requires?

How many jobs do Donald Trump, Bill Gates and Warren Buffett represent?

And what do rich people do with the money they don’t pay in taxes? Bury it in tin cans in the yard? Of course not.

They either spend it or invest it. Both contribute to tax-paying jobs.

It’s time we focus on the real issue of this financial mess. Too much spending is the real issue. It started in earnest under Bush II and continued at nearly a three times rate under Obama.

The current spending rate is $4.1 billion per day. That has to stop. And it’s the so-called rich who can create the wealth that will help us recover. The government does not create wealth; it can only absorb it. But it can create the incentive for the “rich” to do their thing.

Some folks just need to wake up.

Al Phillips Prineville

Seniors have it hard Regarding Bill Ruiter’s letter, the changes in the use of our senior center, e.g. moving the noon luncheon and activities as well as Meals on Wheels services to a downtown location, seems so

typical of what the “powers” in Bend’s decisions seem to be: “Never ask the persons directly involved but go ahead and change things to suit another agenda.”

The Bend Senior Center building was built to provide safe, accessible senior services. It was designed with parking and accessibility for elders principally in mind. Don’t make things harder for folks who already have enough challenges and have given so much to the community and the country!

John and Sylvia Broderick Bend

Other debt solutions To solve the U.S. debt problems, House Speaker Boehner and President Barack Obama have been discussing elimination of the mortgage interest deductions.

That will be another hit for the real estate industry caused by political meddling, sticking it to American taxpayers again.

Why do the American taxpayers always have to keep paying for politicians’ idiocy in D.C.? I suggest we protect Americans first. Here are some different eliminations: Eliminate foreign aid. Eliminate State Department funding for mosque and church reconstruction overseas.

Eliminate U.S. contributions to the World Bank and IMF. Eliminate payments to the U.N. There are many more, but it’s a start. Now I have to take my blood pressure medication. Protect American citizens first!

Obama is not good at what we need him to be good at

By Alfred Ferguson Bulletin guest columnist

N

o, he suggested, the United States is not necessarily an “exceptional” nation — just one among many (noted by Victor Davis Hanson, The Bulletin, 07/03/11). Any guesses as to the identity of that “he”? (That same “he” has also proclaimed: “America is not a Christian nation ...”)

Even the bastions of elite liberal opinion such as The New Republic and The New Yorker — with their mainly elite readership, so much better educated than us common folks — appear to be catching on to this robotic president’s incompleteness of mind, character and real-world experience to do the job: “He leads from behind!” screeched The New Yorker recently.

Well, of course he does. He entered the office with no background in practical, pragmatic governance or real-world experience creating, making, managing, producing, manufacturing … anything — or even routinely working daily in an ordinary payday job. No military experience. And of course no distinguished

record as a legislator. Nothing. Nothing!

Except a couple of degrees from fancy, expensive liberal universities (paid for by whom, or by what?), and a stint as a “community organizer,” whatever that is. And lest we forget, there’s that Nobel Prize. What achievements was that for, again?

What other president in our history has exhibited such a lack of real-world experience, along with an oblivious, even sneering attitude toward ordinary folks?

Toward the worries, cares and anxieties of those responsible for the actual creation of this nation’s wealth, mainly small-business owners? Is he adept at anything except manipulating a crowd’s “feelings” and “opinions,” the nexus of his life’s experience? He is like a princeling groomed, but for what ulterior or insidious purpose? But maybe we are, unfairly, forgetting his accomplishments?

Yes, we are: he’s good at golfing, partying, vacationing, goofing around with sports stars — and, crucial for his re-election — fundraising and constant campaigning. And there’s the one congratulatory thing he was fearful not to

IN MY VIEW do: eliminate the monster, Osama bin Laden, which accompanies his generally aggressive posture toward our fanatical Muslim enemies abroad. This last especially praiseworthy, and surprising, in equal parts.

Other than this, the president’s employable skills and background are all related to manipulation — manipulation of symbols, words, emotions and clever argumentation to insidious intent (demonizing his opponents) like the cagey lawyer he is. Very good he is, this president, at “speechifyin’” (as Mark Twain described the fraud and master con artist in “Huckleberry Finn” — “Why when that fraud got finished speechifyin’ there warn’t a dry eye left in the place”!)

We recall that scene from a city park in Chicago: his idolators, assembled in adulation, breathless with adoration, most of them young, many of them holding candles, tears streaming down many an upturned, expectant face.

Obama seems like sort of a “robotic

president.” But who or what has done the programming? We don’t know. We know that something called “social justice” is high on the agenda.

What exactly is “social justice?”

Sounds good, sounds like we’d like a lot of it on our plate: “I’d like a large helping of ‘social justice,’ please.” But what is it? What goes into it? We don’t know.

It’s a “mystery meat,” like sausage, or hot dogs. Best we can figure out, it has something — probably a lot — to do with “equality of result,” rather than the foundation of America’s exceptional history: equality of opportunity.

In the end, an abstraction like “social justice” can mean everything, anything or nothing, depending on the imperious “authority” in charge. It’s like that marvelous scene from Lewis Carroll’s “Alice in Wonderland,” where an incredulous Alice confronts one of the bizarre characters, Humpty Dumpty, who has an imperious way with language. Alice complains that she doesn’t think a word can mean so many different things. “Well!” he huffs, “A word means just what I want it to mean. Nothing more, nothing less.

All that matters is, who has the power!”

Didn’t we hear something like that, when they passed Obamacare? Didn’t Speaker Nancy Pelosi proclaim, “We have to pass the bill before we know what’s in it!” In other words, shut up and eat it; maybe we’ll tell you what’s in it — later. A “transformational” America is on the way if this president and his helpers have their way with us. There’ll be lots of new, “progressive” social justice for us to eat.

Perhaps the bumptious Obamas would like to “transform” America into something resembling the repugnant oligarchic African nations Mrs. Obama has been chugging around — with her expensive entourage — in order to spruce up trade and diplomatic relations.

We do so much business and trade with the impoverished. Lots of “social justice” in those places, too; virtually no middle class, most dirt poor or starving. Maybe the bumptious Obamas hope to import some of that “equality” to their “transformed” America.

Gov. Carey helped save Don Imus’ N.Y. from bankruptcy brother, Fred, dies

By Matt Schudel

The Washington Post

Hugh Carey, who as governor of New York in the 1970s took control of the state’s reeling finances and was credited with saving New York City from bankruptcy, died Sunday at his home on Shelter Island, N.Y. He was 92. The cause of death was not reported.

Carey, a Democrat who had represented Brooklyn in the U.S. House of Representatives for seven terms, was elected governor in 1974, just as the economy was entering a recession. In his first address to the legislature, he warned the state’s history of free spending had to stop.

“The days of wine and roses are over,” he said.

Several state agencies, municipalities and school districts were perilously close to insolvency. New York City was in dire shape, with $5 billion in debts and no way to borrow money.

Carey maneuvered the state through a series of tough choices that led to increased taxes, reduced government services and lower state and city budgets, but he managed to keep the city and state afloat.

“He saved the city and the state in 1975,” former New York Mayor Ed Koch told The New York Times in 1982. “If the city had gone down, the state would have been two days behind. He did it by bringing together the best minds and making every-

Carey, who was considered by turns brilliant, assertive, combative and erratic, had never held an executive position before becoming governor.

Early in his tenure, he kept New York City going by transferring a state loan of $400 million to the city.

In May 1975, Carey asked for a federal loan of $1 billion.

President Gerald Ford turned them down.

Amid strikes that left garbage piled on streets and fires unattended, New York City laid off 20,000 workers. Seeing no alternative but financial ruin, Carey took unprecedented steps to manage the city’s coffers and trim its rising deficits. He named investment banker Felix Rohatyn his chief lieutenant.

Carey directed the Emergency

Financial Control Board, which seized much of the authority for the city’s budgets from the mayor’s office.

He called for higher transit fares, increased taxes and delays in repaying the city’s debt.

City-run colleges, which had offered free tuition, were taken over by the state.

Several months later, Carey’s efforts led the Ford administration to reverse its intransigence and approve a package of loans worth $2.3 billion.

Early in 1976, several top banks began to sell $600 million in new state bonds, securing New York’s financial stability.

Reflecting on the narrowly averted financial crisis, Walter Wriston of Citibank said in 1985, “Governor Carey is the hero of this piece, any way you want to look at it.”

Post offices Continued from C1 Last month, the U.S. Postal Service announced that it was going to study and identify almost 3,700 underused post offices for possible closure, including 41 in Oregon. Four of those were in located in Central Oregon: Brothers, Paulina, Post and Sunriver.

According to the USPS, more than 3,000 of the post offices on the list have less than $27,500 in annual revenues.

The letter took issue with the USPS’ recent assertion that 90 percent of post offices in small communities with less than $100,000 in annual revenue are within 10 miles of another post office.

“While this may be true nationwide, we were alarmed to see that of the 41 post offices in Oregon on the list for possible closure, over half of them are more than ten miles from the nearest post office,” the letter states. A dozen are more than 20 miles away, and postal customers in Adel would have to travel 33 miles one way to Lakeview to reach the nearest alternative if its post office shuttered.

“Expecting a customer to drive an hour round-trip to visit the nearest post office is unreasonable and does not align with

Red Cross, NIH leader championed women’s health

By Elaine Woo Los Angeles Times

Dr. Bernadine Healy, a hardcharging cardiologist and educator who was the first woman to lead the National Institutes of Health and later commanded American Red Cross relief efforts after the 9/11 terrorist attacks, died Saturday at her home in Gates Mills, Ohio. She was 67.

The cause was brain cancer, said her daughter, Bartlett Ann Bulkley.

Healy, a Republican who served in the Reagan and George H.W. Bush administrations, was known as a no-nonsense leader who ruffled politicians and dealt swiftly with incompetence, traits that frequently drew controversy during a career devoted to humanitarian goals.

She took over the National Institutes of Health in 1991 and quickly demonstrated a bold leadership style: Just a few weeks into her tenure she announced the creation of the Women’s Health Initiative. A $625 million study involving 150,000 women, it was

the largest government trial of women’s health in the nation’s history.

Dissatisfied with a longstanding practice of excluding women from clinical trials on medical issues that affect them, she pushed to require researchers funded by the agency to remedy that imbalance.

“She championed the principle that women’s health could not simply be inferred by extrapolation from studies on men,” said Dr. Francis Collins, director of the National Institutes of Health.

“As a result, today we have seen major advances in the understanding of how women and their health care providers can better prevent cardiovascular disease, stroke, cancer, diabetes, osteoporosis and a host of other conditions.”

In 1999, she was named to succeed Elizabeth Dole as president of the American Red Cross.

Only the second woman to lead the 130-year-old relief group, Healy was forced to resign two years later after conflicts with

the board over the organization’s response to the 9/11 attacks, particularly over how to allocate the millions of dollars in donations that poured in after the terrorist assaults.

In a statement Monday the American Red Cross praised “her vision and her compassion under the most challenging circumstances,” and credited her for improving the organization’s ability to respond to disasters and “ensure the safety and adequate supply of the nation’s blood.”

Specializing in the pathology of heart attacks, Healy became the first woman assistant dean for postdoctoral studies at Johns Hopkins University and became a professor of medicine in 1982.

She left in 1984 to serve as a deputy science adviser to President Ronald Reagan.

After a term as president of the American Heart Association, she became head of the National

Institutes of Health. The federal agency, which had been without a director for two years, was facing a number of difficult challenges, including budget constraints and an exodus of talented senior scientists.

Fred Imus, a country songwriter and radio personality who appeared on his older brother Don’s radio show, was found dead in his trailer in Tucson, Ariz., on Saturday. He was 69.

He died in his sleep, said Matthew Hiltzik, a spokesman for Don Imus.

Imus appeared on country radio shows, most recently cohosting “Fred’s Trailer Park Bash” on Sirius XM Radio, with a politically incorrect style like his brother’s. He produced Don’s show for a time and called in for decades, becoming “a regular guest who wouldn’t leave,” Imus said through Hiltzik.

Although the two often argued on the air, they ended every call with “I love you.”

Imus peaked musically in 1976 when he wrote “I Don’t Want to Have to Marry You” with Phil Sweet, who worked with him on the railroad. The song was recorded by Jim Ed Brown and Helen Cornelius and reached No. 1 on the country charts.

Flaherty Continued from C1 “Please address whether instructing a grand jury witness not to reveal to anyone that he had been subpoenaed to produce records that were protected by the attorney-client privilege constituted an unauthorized exercise of your official duties done with the intent to harm (the county attorney) in violation of (a section of state law),” Cournoyer wrote.

Cournoyer asked Flaherty for several more pieces of information, and requested that he respond to the bar by Aug. 23.

Ruth Roehrig Zitnik the Postal Service’s mission to ‘provide prompt, reliable, and efficient services to patrons in all areas and shall render postal services to all communities,’” the letter reads.

Andrew Whelan, spokesman for U.S. Rep. Greg Walden, RHood River, said that as a longtime operator of a small business, Walden understands the challenges of balancing the books.

“Rep. Walden also looks forward to studying the results of the evaluation once it’s published,” Whelan said. “(The USPS is) going to have to make some pretty tough decisions with some pretty substantial financial challenges on their hands.”

Posting net losses With the advent and widespread acceptance and use of e-mail, the USPS has seen its revenues shrink over the last few years. In fiscal year 2010, the USPS saw a net loss of $8.5 billion. During the third quarter of this fiscal year, which ended on June 30, it posted a $3.1 billion net loss, compared with a $3.5 billion net loss over the same period last year.

Four out of five post offices nationwide lose money, and many post daily sales of less than $50 a day, according to USPS figures.

Wyden spokeswoman Jennifer

Hoelzer said that the issues surrounding the closure of any two post offices are going to be different, and all post offices should not be looked at the same way.

“While closing post offices in some areas might only be an inconvenience, in some rural areas, closing a post office would make a trip to the post office a hardship for the businesses and families that rely on its services. No one should have to drive an hour to mail or pick up a package,” she said.

In some locations, smaller facilities, or “village post offices,” could be housed in other businesses and provide some of the post office’s key functions, such as selling postage and handling flat-rate packages.

“We appreciate that you are taking a thorough look at USPS’s expenses and continuing to cut costs so that USPS remains financially viable,” the letter concludes. “We applaud the steps that you have already taken to extend solvency and we understand that more needs to be done. However, these measures should be evaluated with a careful eye to ensure that our most remote communities do not become even further isolated.”

Ruth Roehrig Zitnik was the only child of Max and Emma (Weigelt) Roehrig. She was born on December 31, 1919, in Striegau, Germany. She discovered her love of nursing at an early age, and became an RN and surgical nurse. She traveled throughout Europe with Dr. Toni Franklin, a surgeon, who was not only a colleague but a lifelong friend.

When Ruth immigrated to America, with another lifelong friend, Anna Marie Tamm, she worked at Kaiser in San Francisco. There she met and later married her husband, Joachim. Together they raised a family and lived in California until Joachim retired in 1970 and they moved to Oregon. Ruth worked as an orthopedic nurse at St. Charles on “hospital hill” and later made the move to the current location of St. Charles. Ruth’s love of nursing never died and she is still fondly remembered by many of her remaining colleagues.

Both Ruth and Joachim stayed active in their retirement years, loving to spend time with family and travel. They loved to travel to Europe and in later years, Hawaii almost became a second home. Joachim died on July 29, 2000, at the age of 95.

Ruth retained her independence and lived in the family home until the last few years when Alzheimer’s disease made it necessary for her to move into ClareBridge of Bend.

She kept her loving nature and sense of humor throughout her illness. She died in the early hours of February 9, 2011, with her daughters by her side.

Ruth is survived by her two daughters, Ingrid Bongers and Kristy Laird; grandsons, Evan and Kirby Smith and Brian Laird; granddaughter, Lacey Smith and great granddaughter, Timber Smith; Joachim’s son, Joachim Alex Zitnik; Joachim’s grandchildren, Heidi Sigmund and Jamie Zitnik; and great granddaughter, Jessica Alger.

Ruth is greatly missed by her family, but remembered always for her sense of humor, wonderful smile and kind heart.

NATIONAL POPULAR VOTE PROJECT

California throws support behind reforming federal election process

By David Siders McClatchy-Tribune News Service

SACRAMENTO, Calif. — The Electoral College, the system used for more than 230 years to pick American presidents, has been under siege since George W. Bush beat Al Gore to the White House despite losing the popular vote.

On Monday, California added its substantial clout to a movement to overturn it.

Calling election by popular vote “basic, fair democracy,” Gov. Jerry Brown signed legislation backing an interstate compact to award the state’s electoral votes to the candidate winning the most votes nationwide, regardless which candidate California voters choose.

The bill would take effect only if states controlling a majority of the nation’s electoral votes agree.

But California’s endorsement — and the commitment of its 55 electoral votes — provided the effort its most substantial lift yet.

Now, eight states and the District of Columbia have adopted the agreement, representing almost half of the electoral votes proponents need.

“We just try to push the noodle along every year in every state where we can push it along,” said John Koza, the Los Altos Hills, Calif., computer scientist who founded the National Popular Vote project in 2006.

California’s backing, he said, “gives it the credibility so that it’s not just a theoretic or academic idea.”

State could more political prominence Proponents of the popular vote movement say it would make California, a safe Democratic state, more relevant in presidential politics.

The bill’s author, Assemblyman Jerry Hill, D-San Mateo, said in a written statement that Californians are ignored by candidates “pandering exclusively to the battleground states,” and Brown referred to the state’s lack of prominence when signing the bill.

“California should not be taken for granted in presidential elec-

“California should not be taken for granted in presidential elections, and it seems logical that the occupant of the White House should be the candidate who wins the most votes. That is basic, fair democracy.”

— Gov. Jerry Brown, D-Calif. tions, and it seems logical that the occupant of the White House should be the candidate who wins the most votes,” Brown, a Democrat, said in a prepared statement.

“That is basic, fair democracy — and that’s why California has joined the movement for a National Popular Vote.”

Movement has its critics The Electoral College’s defenders say it keeps candidates from ignoring small states and rural areas, and the legislation, Assembly Bill 459, passed through the Legislature with little Republican support. Brown’s predecessor, Republican Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger, said when he vetoed previous versions of the bill that the plan was “counter to the tradition of our great nation, which honors state rights.”

Schwarzenegger also said he could not endorse awarding California’s electoral votes to a presidential candidate a majority of Californians may not support.

Sen. Doug LaMalfa, R-Richvale, said in a written statement Monday that the bill Brown signed rejected “American tradition that protects the fabric of our country from fractionalization and mob rule.”

Koza pointed to Republican support in the New York legislature as evidence of bipartisan support. But the list of states currently supporting the measure, including Vermont, Massachusetts, New Jersey and Illinois, “sounds kind of like an MSNBC

viewing party,” said Bill Whalen, a research fellow at Stanford University’s Hoover Institution and former speechwriter for Gov. Pete Wilson.

“The question here is what, if any, red states, are going to jump into this,” he said.

‘Overwhelmingly Democratic’ Justin Levitt, an elections law professor at Loyola Law School in Los Angeles, said the measure isn’t sure to benefit Democrats. In a reliably blue state like California, he said, Republicans might find their votes matter much more.

“The states that have signed on so far certainly tend to be overwhelmingly Democratic, but there are some pretty prominent Republicans that have endorsed the proposal,” he said.

How quickly it could happen, if at all, is unclear. Koza said he has been lobbying for the system since 2006 and believes it could be in place for the presidential election in 2016.

If the system is enacted, Levitt said, how presidents are elected “would change rather remarkably.” He said, “Big, large-scale national changes like this always take time.”

California, like all other states but two, commits its full slate of Electoral College votes to the candidate who receives the most votes statewide. Nebraska and Maine allocate most of their electors by congressional district.

The Electoral College, largely ignored by most Americans for years, gained widespread attention during Bush’s election in 2000. It remained a focal point four years later, when Bush won the popular vote and re-election but nearly lost the Electoral College to John Kerry.

Before Bush’s victory in 2000, just three presidents had won election without carrying the popular vote, the last one Benjamin Harrison in 1888.

California governor’s gamble on capital gains tax may not pay off

By Steven Harmon Contra Costa Times

SACRAMENTO, Calif. — Amid growing fears of a doubledip recession — punctuated by the stock market’s harrowing plunge — California Gov. Jerry Brown’s bet on a $4 billion tax surge to bolster the state’s coffers is looking illusory at best, economists say.

And that means in A N A a matter of months California’s students, poor and disabled could be paying big-time for the state’s gamble on a rebounding economy.

Without a bull market pumping out a generous batch of capital gains, Californians can expect another round of severe budget cuts in January.

Brown’s “revenue projections were silly before,” Chris Thornberg, founding principle at Beacon Economics, a Los Angeles consulting group. “It was always unrealistic, and now it’s just that much less realistic.”

Brown and Democratic leaders produced a rare on-time

$89 billion budget in June, but one that relied on the hope that wealthy individuals would continue their months-long capital-gains spree that generated billions of dollars in unexpected revenues this year.

Capital gains taxes have been notoriously volatile over the years — a phenomenon that has been a recurring to state fiL Y S I S headache nance officials.

Yet Brown and his finance team had reason to feel confident: The state’s economy had shown signs of recovery with $6.6 billion in unexpected tax receipts in May, and another $1.2 billion in June. But investors have lost $1 trillion in the market plunge since late July, so the well may now be dry, economists say.

Early this week, Controller John Chiang will announce the state’s cash receipts from July. In June, the state received $80 million less than it expected, according to H.D. Palmer, a spokesman for the Department of Finance.

If a team of economic experts

assembled by Finance Director Ana Matosantos determines later this year that economic indicators are down, up to $2.5 billion in spending cuts would be automatically triggered, forcing hard choices Brown and Democrats were hoping to avoid.

Higher education, corrections and safety-net programs would have to absorb more reductions than they already have. The biggest of the cuts would happen if the revenues are short by $2 billion or more.

Social service agencies are also bracing for more slashing, at a time when historic cuts to social programs made earlier in the year are just taking effect.

But Palmer insisted it’s too early to judge whether the state will have to pull the trigger on cuts.

“We’ve got four more months worth of economic data to come through the door,” Palmer said.

“You can’t take one day of the stock market and extrapolate how that translates into revenues.”

LITTLE LEAGUE BASEBALL: NORTHWEST REGIONALS

Bend South falls 9-4 to Washington at regional

By Beau Eastes The Bulletin

SAN BERNARDINO, Calif. — The Bend South All-Stars lost a late lead Monday night and possibly a spot in Thursday’s semifinal round at the Little League Northwest Regional Tournament.

North Bothell, Wash., rallied back from a 4-0 deficit to defeat Bend South 9-4 at Al Houghton Stadium, dropping the Oregon State champions’ record to 1-2 in pool play. Bend South can still qualify for the regional semifinals if the team defeats Wyoming on Wednesday morning, but the Central Oregon squad will need help from other teams to advance.

A loss to Wyoming would eliminate any chance for Bend South to move on to the semi-

CENTRAL OREGON SPORTING CLAYS AND HUNTING PRESERVE

SOCCER 7-year-old Argentine prospect signs deal with Real Madrid MADRID — He has a contract with one of football’s biggest clubs and the same long, floppy hair and nickname Leo of his idol, Lionel Messi.

It may take awhile, however, before Leonel Angel Coira can match the wondrous Messi: He is 7 years old.

Real Madrid said Monday it signed the Argentine prodigy to its youth academy after seeing him in tryouts. He will start training with Madrid’s youth team Sept 6.

Coira hopes to follow the path set by Messi, a countryman who joined Barcelona from the Argentine club Newell’s Old Boys as a teenager and has gone on to win the World Player of the Year award two times. “(My) dream is to meet Messi, play in the first division with Madrid and for Argentina in the World Cup,” Coira told the Spanish newspaper ABC. The signing underscores the tactics of top teams scooping up fresh talent as early as possible to avoid paying huge transfer fees when their potential blossoms.

cousins, involves a shotgun. In sporting clays, trap machines that release clay targets and provide different movements and trajectories are set up at stations throughout a course. Five-stand is a popular sporting clays game in which shooters rotate between five stations located in close proximity to one another and shoot at targets from any of a number of different trap machines — Tabor’s five-stand has eight machines. By making adjustments to the machine to alter pitches, angles and speeds, Tabor can constantly create new looks for shooters out on the range.

EUGENE — This year has already been a rough one for the University of Oregon football team.

A year that started with a heartbreaking loss to Auburn in the BCS National Championship Game continued with off-the-field allegations and an ongoing NCAA investigation involving Oregon’s program and a Texas scout named Willie Lyles. Player misdeeds have included cornerback Cliff Harris’ rather rapid driving.

But Monday marked a day for the Ducks to turn the page from speculation to the business of playing football.

EUGENE — Like every football program in the country, the Oregon Ducks have plenty of questions to answer on the eve of a new season. Despite its wealth of talent, Oregon is young. And that leaves plenty to ask.

Here are five questions the Ducks must address during preseason camp — and some

Baseball • Tigers extend contracts of Leyland, Dombrowski: The Detroit Tigers are keeping manager Jim Leyland and general manager Dave Dombrowski under contract beyond this year. The team announced Monday that Dombrowski has agreed to a four-year extension and Leyland is being retained through the 2012 season. Both were in the last year of their deals.

• Francona watching for note after four-plus hour game: The Boston Red Sox and New York Yankees have been hearing complaints for years that their games take far too long. After their latest marathon on Sunday night, Red Sox manager Terry Francona said he wouldn’t be surprised to hear from Major League Baseball again. The Red Sox beat the Yankees 3-2 in 10 innings on Sunday night, and the game clocked in at four hours, 15 minutes.

Pace of play has been a hot-button issue in the league office in recent years, with the Yankees and Red Sox two of the biggest targets. Both teams have hitters who like to work deep into counts and pitchers known for taking their time on the mound, such as Boston’s Josh Beckett, who started on Sunday. Francona says he didn’t think Beckett was stalling deliberately, but the warm night and the Yankees’ patient hitters, coupled with the longer commercial breaks for the nationally televised game, caused it to drag.

• Phillies CF Victorino suspended three games, appeals: Philadelphia Phillies center fielder Shane Victorino is appealing a three-game suspension imposed for his part in a weekend brawl at San Francisco. Major League Baseball fined Victorino an undisclosed amount Monday.

Phillies third baseman Placido Polanco and Giants pitcher Ramon Ramirez and catcher Eli Whiteside also were fined. Victorino can continue to play until the appeal process is complete.

Football • Players, league push for dismissal of retiree suit: NFL players have asked a federal judge to refrain from ordering them to negotiate further with retirees upset about the way their request for better benefits was handled. Attorney Barbara Berens filed the request Monday for U.S. District Judge Susan Richard Nelson, who has a hearing scheduled Wednesday in the case. Berens wrote Monday that the claim by the retirees is “fatally flawed.” Lawyers for the NFL also wrote to Nelson on Monday, asking that the case be dismissed.

• Paterno in hospital after player runs into him: Joe Paterno was hospitalized and undergoing tests on his right arm and hip after a player ran into the 84-year-old coach during practice in State College, Pa. Paterno was admitted Sunday evening to Mount Nittany Medical Center after he walked away from the collision with a receiver, the school said Monday. Receiver Devon Smith was running a drill when he blindsided the Hall of Fame coach. “I expect to be back at practice soon,” Paterno said in a statement. “I’m doing fine; tell everyone not to worry about me.”

• Jaguars eliminate rookie hazing in training camp: Quarterback Blaine Gabbert gets to keep his long blond hair. Guard Will Rackley doesn’t have to worry about losing his eyebrows. In fact, all of Jacksonville’s rookies are safe from training camp hazing. Coach Jack Del Rio ended the ritual this season, saying players need to have more respect for each other.

Soccer • Matches called off as riots spread across London: Police on Monday ordered football clubs in London to postpone matches as violence and looting spread across the British capital for a third night with buildings being set ablaze. As police struggled to contain the spiraling disorder, League Cup matches due to take place at West Ham and Charlton today were postponed due to security resources being stretched. England’s friendly against the Netherlands on Wednesday at Wembley Stadium in north London is also under threat, although officials will meet with police 24 hours before the match to discuss the situation.

Basketball • Meruelo has agreement to purchase Hawks: Alex Meruelo vowed Monday to do everything he can to bring a championship to Atlanta if his agreement to purchase a majority share of the NBA’s Hawks is approved by the league.

Meruelo, the son of Cuban immigrants, would be the NBA’s first Hispanic majority owner if the deal is approved. The 48-year-old Meruelo will have controlling interest of more than 50 percent of the Hawks, who will remain in Atlanta.

The deal also includes operating rights to Philips Arena.

After World Cup thrills, women return to an uncertain future

By Jere Longman New York Times News Service

BOCA RATON, Fla. — Three weeks after losing in the final of the Women’s World Cup, the players on the U.S. national team have returned to their professional soccer league.

They have been welcomed home as if they were champions, handed roses and plaques calling them “extraordinary heroes,” an embrace that they both appreciate and find somewhat baffling.

“It definitely makes it hard coming back and being honored,” midfielder Carli Lloyd said. “We’re like: ‘Wait a minute, we’re confused. We didn’t win.’ But at the end of the day, it’s been really special coming home.

We did so much for the game. It’s been amazing.”

Yet, despite the fame and glory the Americans achieved with their thrilling run at the World Cup, the far less glamorous and more uncertain existence of league soccer has abruptly returned.

Attendance and television ratings have swelled in the 3-year-old Women’s Professional Soccer league, but there is no guarantee that it will survive into Year 4. Salaries, which average $25,000 but run as low as $200 a game for a few, according to players, face further cuts. Front offices of the six teams are run by skeletal staffs.

Health and dental insurance plans are being reconsidered as team owners search for financial viability.

Even Abby Wambach, who emerged as the biggest star of the U.S. team for her heading prowess, is caught up in the disarray of the fledgling pro league. The future remains tentative for her team, magicJack, which is named after a broadband telephoning device. The league is threatening to terminate the South Florida franchise after the season ends this month. It has accused the team owner, Dan Borislow, of violating various operating rules, failing to pay bills, bullying players and briefly coaching the squad without a proper license.

Borislow, who has opened his checkbook and stocked his team with seven U.S. World Cup players, has sought a court injunction to prevent disbandment. He said league management was “a lot better at lying than running a professional sports league,” had inflated attendance figures and jeopardized the WPS’ existence with paltry salaries, saying some players were essentially “indentured servants.”

Amid the controversy, Wambach has become player-coach of the

Abby Wambach, a player and coach of the magicJack women’s soccer team, signs autographs for fans in Boca Raton, Fla., on Friday. team. She has seemingly provided a calmer, more relaxed environment as the playoffs approach.

“This isn’t my first priority, but I think this gives the team the best chance to win a championship,” Wambach said. “I ask a lot of questions, get everybody’s opinion. You want to make sure we win games, but this has to be a really good experience for everybody.”

To be sure, the World Cup bolstered women’s soccer. Since the tournament, average attendance has increased to 5,164 from 2,741 at WPS matches. Television ratings are up 18.5 percent. Social media traffic has soared. Inquiries are being fielded about expansion of the sixteam league and additional corporate sponsorships. Goalkeeper Hope Solo has signed an endorsement deal with Gatorade that will pay her about $100,000 a year.

“I’ve never felt better about the potential of the league,” Anne-Marie Eilarass, the league’s chief executive, said.

WPS is considered the world’s best women’s league. A quarter of the players in the recent 16-team World Cup have played in the league, Eilarass said. But history suggests that operating a fully professional women’s league in the United States will be difficult, and that a semiprofessional model found in Europe may be more sustainable.

Even bolstered by a victorious 1999 World Cup and pioneering stars like Mia Hamm, Brandi Chastain, Julie Foudy and Briana Scurry, the Women’s United Soccer Association folded in 2003 after three seasons and a capital investment of $100 million.

Since the U.S. women faced Japan last month in the World Cup final before a sellout crowd of 48,817 in Frankfurt, they have returned to playing mostly in small college stadiums in the East and Southeast. A league-record crowd of 15,404 attended a match July 20 in Rochester, N.Y., as Wambach returned to her hometown. Inevitably, some crowds have begun to contract.

After drawing 3,286 fans to a home game last month, Wambach’s South Florida team drew 1,727 here Wednesday. While the overall bump in WPS attendance is encouraging, David Halstead, owner of the Philadelphia Independence, said: “We’ve got to transition beyond just suburban families. We need more mainstream soccer enthusiasts.”

Or, as midfielder Megan Rapinoe of magicJack put it, “We don’t want just little girls watching our games.”

There is talk about West Coast expansion next season — earlier teams in Los Angeles and the San Francisco Bay Area folded — but the maelstrom in South Florida illustrates a broader uncertainty about WPS’ future.

In Philadelphia, which is vying for the league’s best record, Halstead, the owner, said he believed he could profitably operate the Independence for $1 million to $1.2 million at some point, but not yet. He said he lost $2 million in 2010, would lose $1 million this season and probably finish $500,000 in the red next season, if there is one.

Included in the belt-tightening this season in Philadelphia was a reduction of the average player salary to $28,000 from about $32,000, along with cutbacks in housing and cars

provided to players, Halstead said.

Even health and dental insurance plans will be reconsidered, he said, as WPS seeks to balance high-level performance with fiscal responsibility.

“When WUSA was around, there was an expectation that it was going to be OK to lose money and owners would be willing to stick around because of the love for women’s soccer,” Halstead said. “WPS is different in that we don’t believe that. I’m not in this to lose money. I’m in this to make money.”

The question becomes: At what financial level will the owners, players, sponsors and fans feel it is worthwhile to continue?

The league’s players have unionized but no collective bargaining agreement currently exists. The average league salary is $25,000, but income varies widely. Top American players can earn about $65,000 to $70,000, supplemented by another $50,000 to $60,000 in salary from the national team. Marta, the Brazilian star who plays for Western New York and has five times been named world player of the year, is an outlier who makes $500,000, a league official said.

But some WPS players make less than $10,000 a year and live three to an apartment, owners and agents said.

“The national team players, I think we’re going to be OK, but you can’t have a league with people making nothing,” Rapinoe said.

Christie Rampone, the captain of the U.S. national team who also plays for magicJack, suggested WPS consider a semipro model that exists in Germany and other European countries, where players get paid but also work other jobs. She favors lowering the top salaries and raising the lower salaries as the league seeks to gain its financial footing.

“Do I deserve the money I’m making?” Rampone said. “Yes, but other players are professionals, too, and need to make more. I don’t want to be on the field where someone’s making a couple hundred bucks for an appearance. I don’t think it’s fair.”

If salaries slide too far, though, national team players may choose not to participate in WPS, unwilling to risk injury and their Olympic and World Cup futures for little pay, said Borislow, the magicJack owner.

“They need to embrace their best players,” Borislow said. “You can’t pay them $15,000 and have their endorsements ruined if they get hurt.

If you don’t have those players, you don’t have a viable league.”

American League roundup

National League roundup

• Red Sox 8, Twins 6: MINNEAPOLIS — David Ortiz had four hits and three RBIs, delivering the go-ahead single with two outs in the ninth inning to lift Boston to victory over Minnesota. Ortiz, a former Twin, hit a two-run homer in the sixth and finished a triple shy of the cycle. Jarrod Saltalamacchia added a homer and two RBIs to help the Red Sox win for the fifth time in seven games and move 1½ games ahead of the idle New York Yankees in the AL East.

• White Sox 7, Orioles 6: BALTIMORE — A.J. Pierzynski homered and drove in three runs, and Alex Rios singled in the go-ahead run in the eighth inning to help the Chicago White Sox to their fourth straight victory. Gordon Beckham also connected for the White Sox, who blew a four-run lead before rallying to secure their season-high sixth consecutive road win.

• Rays 2, Royals 1: ST. PETERSBURG, Fla — Casey Kotchman led off the ninth inning with a home run and also hit a run-scoring single to lift Tampa Bay to the win. Kotchman drove the first pitch from Blake Wood (5-1) over the center field fence. Rays closer Kyle Farnsworth (4-1) pitched a perfect ninth to earn the win.

• Rangers 9, Mariners 2: ARLINGTON, Texas — Matt Harrison pitched seven strong innings for his career-high 10th victory and Nelson Cruz homered for Texas. Harrison (10-8) allowed two runs and five hits with six strikeouts and no walks in 104-degree heat, surpassing his nine-win rookie season in 2008. Cruz, Mitch Moreland and Yorvit Torrealba all had three hits for the AL West-leading Rangers, who stretched their lead over the idle Los Angeles Angels to 1½ games.

• Mets 9, Padres 8: NEW YORK — Lucas Duda’s two-run single capped a three-run ninth against closer Heath Bell, and the banged-up New York Mets rallied past San Diego. Angel Pagan, Jason Bay and David Wright homered for the Mets on a day they put their top two hitters — Jose Reyes and Daniel Murphy — on the disabled list.

• Braves 8, Marlins 5: MIAMI — Dan Uggla extended his hitting streak to 29 games and Alex Gonzalez hit a three-run homer to help Atlanta drop Florida to 0-5 on its homestand. Uggla beat out a grounder to short for an infield single in the fifth inning to extend the longest active hitting streak in the majors.

• Rockies 10, Reds 7: CINCINNATI — Carlos Gonzalez’s two-run homer — Colorado’s fourth of the game — broke an eighth-inning tie in a game that featured a long rain delay and seven homers in all. Seth Smith hit two two-run homers for the Rockies, the fifth multihomer game of his career.

Gonzalez snapped a 7-all tie with the first homer allowed this season by Bill Bray (2-2). Todd Helton also homered.

• Astros 9, Diamondbacks 1: PHOENIX — Wandy Rodriguez allowed two hits over six innings and J.D. Martinez homered to lead Houston. Jimmy Paredes had a two-run single and Rodriguez drove in his first run of the season for the Astros, who snapped a three-game losing streak.

• Pirates 5, Giants 0: SAN FRANCISCO — Charlie Morton and Jose Veras combined on a six-hitter, Ryan Ludwick hit a pair of RBI singles and Pittsburgh snapped a 10-game losing streak with a win over slumping San Francisco. Garrett Jones doubled among his four hits and scored twice to help Morton (9-6), who improved to 6-2 on the road this season.

• Phillies 5, Dodgers 3: LOS ANGELES — Roy Halladay became the NL’s first 15-game winner, Ryan Howard and Jimmy Rollins each drove in two runs and Philadelphia beat the Los Angeles Dodgers. Shane Victorino homered as Philadelphia improved the majors’ best record to 75-40 and maintained its 8½-game lead over Atlanta in the NL East.

Note: Monday’s Washington Nationals/Chicago Cubs game was postponed because of rain. The game will be made up Thursday at 11:20 a.m.

From first to free fall: Pirates suddenly plunge in National League The Associated Press PITTSBURGH — As the botched plays and bad losses and loud boos at PNC Park mounted in recent days, Clint Hurdle and the Pittsburgh Pirates stood firm in reciting a familiar refrain.

Over the course of a 162-game season, they rationalized, every club eventually endures a slump, a stretch of poor play, a losing streak.

“We know there’s no reason to panic,” outfielder Garrett Jones said, “because even the best teams have rough patches like this.”

But not one this costly this quickly in major league history.

Leading the NL Central on July 25, the Pirates lost the next day when plate umpire Jerry Meals admittedly made the wrong call in the 19th inning at Atlanta.

And by Sunday night, Pittsburgh had lost 10 in a row and suddenly found itself trailing by 10 games.

Never before had a first-place team plunged 10 games back in a 13-day span, STATS LLC said.

Coming off the worst homestand in their 125-year existence, the Pirates hoped to end their skid Monday night against the World Series champion San Francisco Giants.

“To go from in the hunt to out of the hunt in 10 games like this, it’s bad,” infielder Brandon Wood said after Sunday’s 7-3 loss to San Diego, finishing an 0-7 week at home.

“It’s amazing how quick things can change. But on the other hand, they can change that quick in the other direction as well,” he said.

Look at the Red Sox, the Pirates say, who started 0-6 and now have the best record in the American League. Or the Brewers, who have gone on separate 0-7 and 1-7 runs but still lead the NL Central.

They had better start heading the other

direction soon if the Pirates are to salvage a season that so surprisingly was filled with such promise before the bottom fell out.

A year after losing 105 games for their North American major professional sports record 18th consecutive losing season, these Pirates peaked at 51-44 and were five games over .500 in July for the first time since 1992 when the trouble began with that 4-3 loss to the Braves.

Pittsburgh’s players had woke up that morning knowing they were on a team tied for first place, poised to be buyers at the trading deadline for the first time in 14 years and having had captivated a long-dormant fan base back home.

Less than two weeks later, having acquired Derrek Lee and Ryan Ludwick to help for a possible playoff push, the Pirates were 54-59 and seemingly spiraling toward yet another sub-.500 campaign.

They’d been outscored 82-37 during the

10-game skid and dropped 12 of 13 since peaking.

An embarrassing sweep at the hands of the last-place Padres — the lowestscoring team in the NL, they put a teamrecord 35 runs in a three-game series — followed sweeps at Philadelphia and at home against the Chicago Cubs.

The sellout crowds that had been drawn in by the strong play of the Pirates in June and the first three weeks of July were booing during losses of 15-5 and 132 on Friday and Saturday.

Hurdle, in his first year of managing the Pirates, understood the fans’ reaction.

“If you’ve ever been involved in sports at any level, you’ve been involved in a situation where you don’t win,” Hurdle said. “At the major league level, this is the life we’ve all chosen, so you understand what comes with it, whether it be public scrutiny, whether it be fan displeasure.

When you do well, people cheer. When

you don’t do well, people can boo. That’s always part of it.”

The 1981 Minnesota Twins and the 1884 Detroit Wolverines are the only two other teams in big league history to drop from first place to 10 games back in the standings in a two-week span, each doing it in 14 days. But there’s a caveat with them: They were 0-0 at the time, so their designation of being first-place team when the collapse began might come with an asterisk.

The 1994 Milwaukee Brewers are the only other team since 1930 to endure an in-season free fall from first to a doubledigit deficit in 15 days of less.

“There’s going to be problems and there’s going to be challenges and adversity and losing streaks,” Hurdle said. “And along the way, now how you get through those as an organization and as a team is what can define you and actually make you better in the long run.”

D4 Tuesday, August 9, 2011 • THE BULLETIN

Bend Continued from D1 “We’ll need some help,” Bend South manager Brad Waterman said about advancing to Thursday’s semifinals. “There could be a lot of 2-2 teams (at the end of pool play), but we’ve given up a lot of runs.”

North Bothell, the only 3-0 team in the Northwest Regional, trailed by four runs after 3 ½ innings. The Washington state champs came alive, though, after Bend starter Noah Yunker was removed from the mound with one out in the bottom of the fourth with a 4-0 lead. Yunker, who did not allow a hit, was approaching 50 pitches thrown in the game.

“That’s a decision I’m going to have to live with for a long time,” Waterman said about lifting Yunker in order to have him eligible to pitch again in Thursday’s semifinal round, for which Bend now might not qualify. “I felt like we were cruising and had the momentum.”

Yunker’s official pitching line was 3 1/3 innings, four strikeouts, three walks, no hits and one earned run. The momentum changed drastically after he came off the hill as North Bothell scored three runs in the bottom of the fourth with just one hit to make the score 4-3.

The fifth inning was even worse for Bend as Washington scored six runs on just two hits.

The inning was a nightmare for Bend South, whose pitchers issued four walks and hit one batter, and North Bothell scored six more runs to take a 9-4 lead.

Cal Waterman, who relieved Yunker, allowed two runs and did not record an out. Troy Viola was charged with the loss after giving up five runs in twothirds of an inning.

“When they removed (Yunker), it was huge,” said North

Oregon Continued from D1 Members of the team and coaching staff met with dozens of media members at Autzen Stadium Monday just before opening preseason camp with an afternoon practice session.

And playing football — even if it’s just practice — instead of reading about NCAA investigations is a relief, said quarterback Darron Thomas.

“We really have had a lot of different people talk about our team and say good and bad things,” said Thomas, a junior heading into his second season as starter. “We’re just keeping our heads down and working hard and just getting ready for the season. We’re happy that today is finally here so all the other stuff can go away and we can talk about football now.”

On what was largely a positive day with media — other than a moment when a UO athletic department media official cut short a reporter’s questions to running back LaMichael James about his relationship with Lyles — players and coaches tried to move on from what has been a tumultuous summer.

And there is so much on the field to talk about.

Oregon, ranked No. 3 in the recently released USA Today coaches’ poll, enters the season with the loftiest expectations in program history.

It also has a young team with only 13 returning starters and 14 seniors. And the team must

Questions Continued from D1

A:

With only 13 starters returning from the 2010 team that went 12-0 before falling to Auburn in the BCS National Championship Game, the Ducks have lots of holes to fill.

Some of the key losses include leading receivers Jeff Maehl and D.J. Davis, three starters on the offensive line, and five starters on defense.

But with only 14 seniors — just eight of whom have ever started a game — and 43 true or redshirt freshmen on his roster, UO coach Chip Kelly and his staff have work to do this fall.

“We are going to be a young football team, and we knew that coming in,” Kelly said Monday to members of the media. “We lost a great group of kids that graduated last year that really set the tone for how this football program should practice.

“I hope those younger kids were paying attention when those older kids were getting ev-

Pool play standings

Rachel Luna / The Associated Press

Bend South’s shortstop Troy Viola (8) turns a double play in the top of the first inning in Bend South’s third pool play game against Washington in the 2011 Little League Northwest Regional Tournament at Al Houghton Stadium in San Bernardino, Calif. on Monday.

Bothell manager Mark Ryder.

“After he left we started hitting the other guys.”

Bend South allowed just three hits against Washington but issued eight walks and hit two North Bothell batters, one with the bases loaded. Bend also committed two errors, threw four wild pitches and allowed one passed ball.

“We just couldn’t find the zone (after Yunker),” Brad Waterman said. “Usually our pitching’s our strength, but not today.”

The Oregon state champions actually had one of their better offensive games of the tournament, ending the night with nine hits, three of which went for extra bases. Bend scored all of its

runs in the third inning, when Dylan Ricker’s triple sparked the Oregon offense.

Cam Baker paced Bend South at the plate Monday, going two for three with a run batted in.

Viola added a double and an RBI, while Ricker went one for one with triple and a run scored.

Quick hits: The announced attendance at Al Houghton Stadium on Monday was 1,000.

The Oregon and Washington state champs played in weather that felt more like the Pacific Northwest, as the temperature at the start of the game was 78 degrees. … Bend South’s defense was solid early. With no outs and a Washington runner

on first base in the first inning, Bend first baseman Cam Baker fielded a hard grounder and threw the lead runner out at second base. Shortstop Troy Viola made an exceptional catch and throw back to first base, where second baseman Cam Davis was covering the bag to get complete the double play. …

North Bothell did not have much in the way of substitutes Monday as the Washington state champions have only 10 players on their roster. … The six umpires for Bend South’s game against North Bothell had fun with the crowd Monday night, leading the fans at Al Houghton Stadium in the Village People’s classic “Y.M.C.A.”

gain experience with the cloud of an NCAA investigation hanging overhead.

But if anything was made clear Monday, it’s that motivation should not be a problem for the 2011 Ducks.

Thomas said that the players have used the noise coming from off the field to bring the team closer together.

“Everybody wants to say all this about Oregon,” Thomas said. “We don’t like that, so we’ve just been working hard.

We’re ready for the season, ready to set everybody up, and ready to come out and play ball and forget about all these other allegations.”

Coach Chip Kelly denied that the team has developed an “us against them” mentality.

He did show some defiance when asked whether he was worried about his team being distracted this season.

“I think the media around here is the smartest people I’ve ever been around my entire life,” Kelly said. “And if they voted us No. 1 in the conference and No. 3 in the country, then they must not think it’s a distraction, so we shouldn’t let it be a distraction.”

(Oregon was recently picked by media members to win the North Division of the new Pac-12 Conference and also to win what will be the first Pac-12 Conference Championship Game.)

Kelly said now that the football season has begun with Monday’s first practice, he expects his team to ignore any news about NCAA inquiries.

“We don’t run our program

based on outside influences,” Kelly said. “I don’t mean that to be a shot or whatever, but we don’t read any of that stuff. So it really doesn’t affect our thought process.

“Our thought process is really, ‘How do we have a very good practice this afternoon?’”

Even without all the “outside influences,” the Ducks gathered plenty of fuel for this season from the loss against Auburn, said Josh Kaddu, a senior linebacker and one of just six returning starters on the Oregon defense.

It’s only natural.

A 2010 season that seemed like

a dream for the Ducks all year ended in heartbreak — a lastsecond field goal sent top-ranked Auburn to a 22-19 victory over Oregon in the BCS title game in January — and just short of a goal that was nearly attainable.

“It does (add motivation), because it’s like you dangled a little piece of meat in our face and ripped it away right at the end,” said Kaddu.

“It motivates us a lot,” added Michael Clay, a junior linebacker. “We know we have the potential to get back there.

“But you can’t look that far.

That far is five months from now.

We have to look to this month,

erything done last year.”

Will the offense gel quickly enough to be ready for the season opener against LSU? The offensive like is an area of concern. The Ducks must replace three starters on a unit that rated as one of the best in the Pac-10 Conference last season.

“The first step for us that we are really going to concentrate is where are we up front.” Kelly said Monday. “We are always going to play seven or eight guys up front. Who are those seven or eight guys?”

Senior tackle Mark Asper and junior guard Carson York are back and figure to anchor the unit. Senior tackle Darrion Weems, who started seven games last season, likely will add experience in filling the left tackle spot.

Center is of particular concern because, no matter which contender wins the job, the LSU game will mark his first college snap.

The Ducks’ offensive line could still be formidable. But it needs to come together quickly if Oregon wants a season-opening

win over LSU. “I think they are athletic enough, and I think they are physical enough,” Kelly said.

“They just don’t have game experience, and there is no way to manufacture that until we get them into the game.”

When will LaMichael James break Oregon’s alltime rushing record?

Easy answer: Soon.

James is just 20 yards shy of surpassing the school’s career rushing yardage mark of 3,296, set by Derek Loville (198689). With any luck for James, that record should be broken during the first quarter of the season opener.

More important, what will James do for an encore to his 2010 All-America campaign, in which he averaged 5.9 yards per carry and tallied 1,731 yards and 21 touchdowns?

James deflected the question Monday, saying that individual accolades are not what is important.

Even with inexperience on the offensive like, the Ducks are expected to move the ball with their spread-option attack. Look for

another big season from James and backfield running mate Kenjon Barner.

Will Oregon have enough depth at linebacker and on the defensive line?

Senior Josh Kaddu is the Ducks’ lone returning starter at linebacker, and the defensive line has lost three starters.

Defensive end Terrell Turner is the lone returning starter on the defensive line. The defense rotates as many as nine players in and out on the line, so players with experience are waiting in the wings. But losing three starters will leave a hole to overcome.

Can the Ducks put behind all the offseason turmoil and win a national championship?

Much has gone wrong for the Ducks since they finished off Oregon State, 37-20, in the 2010 Civil War to complete a 12-0 regular season.

First, Auburn broke Oregon’s heart in the BCS National Championship Game in Arizona. Then allegations sprung up involving the Oregon program and Texas scout Willie Lyles.

this week, and our first game, which is LSU. That’s a big game.”

Despite losses from the 2010 roster, many of the crucial pieces on last year’s team return, including James, Thomas, running back Kenjon Barner, and Harris, whenever he returns from disciplinary action.

Those returning players have created high expectations, both nationally and from within the Oregon program.

But while others seemed to shy away from talk of national championships Monday, Thomas seemed to be courting such lofty goals.

“I know the expectations are really high this year,” Thomas said. “We know that, everybody knows that. But you’ve got to come in and put it on the field and work hard every day to live up to those expectations.”

Like any coach at the this point of the season, Kelly was looking to more short-term goals.

He knows he has talent. But Kelly said this is a different team from the 2010 Ducks.

And with preseason camp now under way, the coach can turn his attention to sizing up how his team looks on the field.

“That’s what the start of camp is about,” Kelly said. “We are getting ready to see how the 2011 team will be different from the 2010 team, just like the 2010 team was different from the 2009 team.”

Zack Hall can be reached at 541-617-7868 or at zhall@ bendbulletin.com.

In addition, All-America defensive back Cliff Harris apparently got caught turning Interstate 5 into his own Daytona 500.

But despite all that, Oregon seemingly has enough talent in place to move through the regular season undefeated for the second consecutive year, win the inaugural Pac-12 Conference Championship Game and play in its second consecutive BCS title game.

To do it, the Ducks will have to band together and leave outside all the noise coming from off the field.

Quarterback Darron Thomas said the Ducks are ready.

“Everybody has been looking forward to this day (the start of preseason camp) since we lost the last game, getting back into practice,” said Thomas. “If we can just get back to what we know how to do, all the stuff that happened this summer and through the spring and stuff like that (won’t matter).”

Zack Hall can be reached at 541-617-7868 or at zhall@ bendbulletin.com.

Presidents, school leaders to discuss NCAA policy The Associated Press Mark Emmert is tired of tweaking the NCAA rulebook.

He wants an overhaul.

More than 60 university presidents and administrators are scheduled to meet with Emmert on Tuesday and Wednesday in Indianapolis, a debate that could include everything from deregulation to scholarship funding to keeping integrity in college sports.

“He thinks it’s time to look at what we’re doing at a mega-level, and if where we are is where we want to be and should be,” said former NCAA infractions committee chairwoman Josephine Potuto, the faculty rep at Nebraska since 1997. “He wants to know where Division I is and where it’s headed.”

Critics contend it’s about time because under the current format, the NCAA cannot keep up with all the scandals tainting college sports.

Connecticut was penalized in February for recruiting violations in its men’s basketball program, but the punishment did not derail the Huskies run to a third national title.

In December, Auburn’s football program came under scrutiny after Cam Newton’s father was found to be involved in a pay-for-play recruiting scheme. The NCAA did not punish Newton, ruling he was unaware of his father’s efforts. Newton went on to win the Heisman Trophy and led Auburn to the national title.

That’s just the start.

In June, Southern California was stripped of its 2004 national championship by the Bowl Championship Series for NCAA infractions that also forced Reggie Bush to give back his Heisman Trophy.

Tennessee officials are still awaiting an NCAA decision on a case accusing former football coach Lane Kiffin and men’s basketball coach Bruce Pearl of recruiting violations. The school is also accused of failing to create an atmosphere of compliance.

Ohio State officials are scheduled to appear in front of the infractions committee Friday. The case involves football players who allegedly received cash and tattoos for autographs, championship rings and equipment.

Sporting clay quick tips: The essentials 1. Take a lesson or course.

Lessons and courses can teach firearm safety and etiquette, which are just as important in shooting sports as in hunting.

“Hunter safety is always good to go through,” says Spencer Tabor, owner and operator of Central Oregon Sporting Clays and Hunting Preserve. “It gives you a lot of different information there.”

The Oregon Department of Fish and Wildlife offers both classroom and online courses in hunter education, with classroom courses held in locations throughout the state. Those courses usually take place over the span of multiple days for a few hours a day.

For more information, including course schedules, go to www.dfw.state.or.us.

Instructors such as Tabor can also teach students how to use and handle firearms.

2. Wear your safety equipment.

Buying protective devices for your eyes and ears is a good place to start, but they will do no good if not worn.

“You want to protect your hearing,” Tabor notes. “(A gunshot is) a loud noise. Multiple loud noises can add up over time and do damage to the ear.”

3. Hold your gun properly.

Maintaining a proper stance while shooting and holding the gun in the proper place will not only help you be more successful on the range, it will prevent injuries and soreness.

Many individuals, Tabor says, do not hold their firearm properly, placing the stock toward the outside of the shoulder against the muscle instead of in the pocket, which will absorb the impact much better.

“A lot of people put (the gun) out on that shoulder muscle … and it’s going to make them sore,” Tabor says.

Sporting clay gear guide: Equipment and accessories Pete Erickson / The Bulletin

Bulletin sports reporter Amanda Miles reacts after shooting a gun for the first time during a sporting clays lesson at the Central Oregon Sporting Clays and Hunting Preserve with owner Spencer Tabor in July. Miles hit her intended target, which was hanging from a tree.

Sporting Continued from D1 Sporting clays, Tabor says, mimics hunting experiences out in the field because the trajectories and flight paths of the targets are varied, just as they are with live game.

Especially for those unfamiliar with firearms, lessons are always a good way to go. Tabor offers one-hour lessons for $65.

For those without their own shotgun or ammunition, gun rentals are $15 and boxes of shells (50 per box) are $7 each; for shooters ready to head out on Tabor’s 13-station course or play some five-stand, prices range from $8 to $45, depending on the number of targets purchased — in quantities of 25, 50 or 100 — and membership status.

Other Central Oregon facilities that provide sporting clays are the Redmond Rod & Gun Club and the Bend Trap Club.

Tabor recommends that newbies who like the sport and want to purchase their own shotguns should spend some time out on the range using a variety of firearms to discover what they like. A quality shotgun, Tabor observes, can cost from about $1,000 to $3,500. And to get the most out of it, he notes, the gun should be fitted properly to the shooter.

“A little time getting your gun fit can pay huge dividends, and it just makes the sport that much more fun because the more targets you break, the more successful you are, the better you feel,” Tabor says.

With a properly fitted shotgun,

shooters can focus on breaking more of those little clay targets.

“And then you have fun,” Tabor observes. “It’s shooting where you’re looking. Then it’s a matter of figuring out where to intercept the target. It’s a game of intercepting targets, basically.”

Note: Trying out sporting clays could open up a whole world of shooting sports. Some may fancy shooting rifles or pistols more than shotguns. Some shooting facilities offer womenor children-specific programs.

For a sampling of shooting facilities in Central Oregon, see “If you go.”

My turn Until a couple of weeks ago, if my memory serves me, I had never shot a gun. (At least not a bona fide firearm, as I don’t think the water or laser-tag varieties count.)

So when I showed up for my lesson with Tabor, I harbored few preconceived notions as to what the experience would be like, beyond being a little concerned about how the recoil of the gun would feel.

Given my tenderfoot status, Tabor took the time to explain basic shotgun terminology, the difference between gauges and how to hold and operate the firearm, including proper stance. And after determining that I was cross-dominant — in my case, even though I am right-handed, my left eye is my dominant eye — it was time to shoot.

To give me a feel for the whole process, Tabor first had me shoot at a few targets hung up in a tree.

And so for the first “real” time, I nestled the stock of the gun in my left shoulder pocket, aimed, and pulled the trigger.

The instantaneous rush of power from the shotgun was impressive. So was the surge of adrenaline that immediately coursed through my body, a most unexpected reaction. Completely surprised, I let out an expletive (something I’m not really in the habit of doing) and proceeded to break into laughter. Firing a gun was unlike anything else I had ever experienced.

To my own shock, I actually hit my target. Going into the lesson, I figured if I hit even a single target over the course of the afternoon, I would consider it a success. With no prior experience, I had not counted on showing any aptitude.

So I was pleased with the success I did have over the course of the lesson. After shooting a few more targets in the tree, I moved on to moving targets released from the trap machines scattered around the five-stand course. I certainly missed more targets than I hit, but I hit far more than I had anticipated going into the lesson, even two in a row at one point.

And in the course of a few hours, I saw firsthand why shooting sports can be so enjoyable: making constant refinements in technique, practicing, and watching your scores get better.

The feeling I got when I saw my shots break their targets is one that I could get used to.

When taking up a shooting sport such as sporting clays, safety is key, of course.

So that means eye and ear protection.

“You only get one set of eyes in your lifetime, and you only get one set of ears, so you kind of want to protect them to the best of your ability,” points out Cody Newman, hunting manager at Wholesale Sports Outdoor Outfitters in Bend.

A set of shatter-resistant, polycarbonate safety glasses will not only protect your eyes but also enhance your vision.

Glasses come in a variety of lens colors — such as clear, yellow and amber — and different colors are suited to different types of conditions.

Yellow lenses, Newman says, are good for overcast days because they brighten a shooter’s surroundings, while amber lenses are useful in bright, sunny conditions. Some sets of glasses also offer UV protection, just as sunglasses do.

Safety eyewear, Newman says, should fit like sunglasses, too.

“You want them snug but not tight,” he says.

Some brands make multiple sizes to fit different facial shapes, so trying them on is important to find the right fit.

Ear protection is a little more complicated, as shooters can choose from among a number

Rob Kerr / The Bulletin

Sport shooting accessories include a shell pouch (AA&E Leathercraft, $22.99), protection for hearing (left to right, Silencio foam earplugs, $3.49; Silencio silicone rubber ear plugs, $5.99; Caldwell Shooting Supplies, E-Max Low Profile, $29.99) and eyes (Winchester 270, $12.99) and different shotgun chokes (Remington improved cylinder and modified, $15.99 each) for pattern control. of different systems. The simplest and least expensive are foam earplugs. Other options include soft earplugs made from materials such as silicone rubber and headsets with muffs that completely enclose the ear.

Some of the headset systems are electronic and provide stereo sound with volume control but shut off briefly at high-decibel levels (such as when someone fires a gun).

Ear protection systems come

with noise reduction ratings; the ratings correspond to the number of decibels reduced, so higher ratings equal more protection.

“It’s just a good habit to get into … because it only takes a few seconds to put them on,” Newman says. “And it’s a lot easier to maintain what you have versus trying to play catchup on something you really can’t.”

‘Nobody should be

Library visitors voted on a version of “Riparian Botanicals,” to be installed at the East Bend Library in early 2012.

East Bend Library chooses public art Art in Public Places has awarded an art commission project to Truckee, Calif., artist Troy Corliss for a work to be installed in the children’s area of the East Bend Library in early 2012.

Titled “Riparian Botanicals” and constructed of fused glass and forged steel, the work was among 180 submissions from Northwest artists. Models of three proposed works were displayed at the library for public voting, and a committee selected Corliss’ submission after the twoweek public input process.

Art in Public Places is supported by Brooks Resources Corp. and the Bend Foundation, which have offered a matching gift of up to $500,000 to the community of Bend to fund the purchase and installation of public art in Bend before the end of 2012. The “Be Part of Art” campaign is currently under way, with the goal of reaching local donations up to $200,000, which is the balance necessary to raise for the match by the end of this year.

Church giveaway open to families in need

Richard Klenk, who says he has been dining at Family Kitchen for a couple of months, crumbles crackers into his soup during lunch.

hank you for doing this,” says a deeply tanned man waiting in line at Family Kitchen, which serves meals six days a week to the hungry.

He speaks slowly, adding, “The soup is awesome. I haven’t had any better soup in my life. Uh, I feel bad, though, because I’m not on top of my game.”

“That’s all right,” says Peter Lovering, president of Family Kitchen’s board of trustees. “Get something to eat.”

The man does, carrying a tray loaded with a turkey sandwich on wheat, salad with fresh tomatoes and a side of creamy potato salad to one of several tables in the adjacent dining area, where he takes a seat among a mixed crowd of young and old, homeless and financially strapped.

On top of their game or not, all are welcome here.

Family Kitchen volunteer Peggy Ziegler keeps a record of food distributed for the day. A sign posted at the facility’s entrance says the service provides 4,000 meals per month.

“We have one mission in life,” says Lovering. “We provide nourishing meals in a caring environment. No questions asked, no proselytizing, no preaching, no nothin’. If you’re hungry, you can come here, no matter who you are.”

“It’s always been that way,” says Maggie Botts, one of the founders of Family Kitchen, which recently celebrated its 25th anniversary in late July with what else but a meal, a barbecue of food donated by Newport Market for the occasion.

‘Stepping out on faith’ From the start, the focus has been on food for the hungry.

“We won’t do any proselytizing. Not at all,” says Botts. “We’ve always said, ‘No, we’re just giving food. We are modeling Christ, and they have to see that.’ And you just don’t know what will come from that.”

Son left to raise himself wants space from parents Dear Abby: I’m an only child by default. My parents have been married 30 years and had two children. When I was 9 and my sister was 6, we were in a car accident with my mother that resulted in my sister’s death. Her death changed my life in ways I can never explain.

My father began abusing drugs and beating me. My mother started stealing and was always unemployed. She became severely depressed and also abused prescription drugs. I was left to raise myself, and now, as an adult, I don’t want a relationship with either of them.

How can I get my mother to accept that despite her wishes, I do not want to live my life watching her waste hers? It leaves me feeling depressed, angry and hopeless. I have been diagnosed as bipolar. Almost all my life I have known only death, drugs, abuse and pain. I just want peace from these people. Please help.

— Frustrated Son in Georgia Dear Frustrated Son: You have my deepest sympathy for the tragedy that destroyed your family. Had your parents received the professional help they needed at the time of the accident, much of it might have been prevented.

Tell your parents that unless they seek help NOW for their problems, they will have lost not one, but two, children.

However, if they choose to continue as they have been — which is likely — then you must go on with your life. The answer to a toxic situation such as what you have experienced is to divorce yourself. Because you can’t fix them, you must save yourself.

You have been damaged enough.

Dear Abby: My daughter, “Kate,” is 27 and has a 3-year-old son. She and the father are not married. He is self-centered, controlling and keeps her stranded.

She has no car and no money.

They currently live with his family — a far from ideal situation.

I am struggling because I’m un-

DEAR ABBY able to help her financially, and she feels lost and alone. My husband (her stepfather) won’t allow them to live with us, which I understand.

We’re scrimping to get by. I have located several online sites for single moms regarding assistance, but I feel it is up to Kate to pursue them.

What else can I offer her regarding steering her in the right direction? If she could contact others in her situation, perhaps they might point her in directions I cannot. Your advice would be welcomed.

— Grandma in Prescott, Ariz.

Dear Grandma: Because of your financial situation there is a limit to what you can do. Give your daughter the websites and explain that she may find support and suggestions there from other single mothers — the rest is up to her.

But please, realize that until your daughter is willing to take charge of her life, nothing will change.

Continue to be caring and supportive, and let your daughter know you love her.

Dear Abby: When someone elopes, is a bridal shower after the fact appropriate? There will be a reception later this summer where a wedding gift seems expected. I think having a bridal shower is not proper etiquette.

What do you say?

— Askance in Vermont Dear Askance: The intent of a wedding shower is to extend good wishes to the bride — and with increasing frequency, the groom. Having one after a hastily planned wedding or an elopement is not a breach of etiquette.

However, if you disapprove, no law says you must attend.

So you think you can judge dance

By Elaine Stuart New York Times News Service

NEW YORK — Tiler Peck, the New York City Ballet principal, is rarely praised for her “swag.” So she watched with amusement recently as a judge on “So You Think You Can Dance” used the expression to applaud a hip-hop performance.

Peck was in an apartment in Carroll Gardens, Brooklyn, with four other New Yorkbased professional dancers who had gathered for a viewing of that Fox reality show.

The tap dancer and “Stomp” cast member Michelle Dorrance turned to Peck: “Can you imagine if you went on there and did some Balanchine, and they were like, ‘Your tendu has so much swag!’”

Also in attendance were Dallas McMurray, a member of the Mark Morris Dance Group; Anthony Rue II, a hiphop artist known as Ant Boogie who founded an urban dance troupe and has toured with Madonna; and Brittany Marcin, a former Rockette who is now appearing in the Broadway revival of “Follies.”

The group had come together to answer the question: What do professionals think of “So You Think You Can Dance”?

From “Dancing With the Stars” to “America’s Best Dance Crew,” these competitions have become a television mainstay. “So You Think You Can Dance” treats the form more seriously, though, showcasing choreography across a range of genres and artists from companies like Alvin Ailey American Dance Theater and American Ballet Theater. But some people in the field, like the choreographer Bill Jones, say the shows distort dance into a sport; Jones recently said he sometimes finds them “obscene.”

“So You Think You Can

Evan Sung / New York Times News Service

Tiler Peck, of New York City Ballet, left, and Dallas McMurray, of Mark Morris Dance Group, gather with other dance professionals to assess the show “So You Think You Can Dance” in New York on July 27. The dance show follows the “American Idol” formula, where after a nationwide search 20 aspiring dancers perform in different styles, vying for viewers’ votes.

Dance” follows the “American Idol” formula. After a nationwide search, 20 aspiring dancers perform in different styles, vying for viewers’ votes. Two contestants are eliminated the next night.

Now in its eighth season, the show attracts nearly 8 million viewers each episode; Thursday, the 2011 winner of the $250,000 prize and the title America’s Favorite Dancer will be revealed in the finale.

During the evening of July 27, the professionals’ reactions to the program fluctuated between enthusiasm and dismay.

“It’s exciting that it’s bringing it into living rooms,” Marcin said. But while grateful for the exposure, these dancers bristled at the show’s watered-down presentation of the art. “Because it has that kind of power, I think they have the responsibility to educate,” Dorrance said. She and the others said the episode they watched failed to verse viewers in the nuances of dance.

Take the show’s selection and labeling of styles. That night, the eight remaining dancers each performed twice, once with an “All Star” (a dancer from a previous season) and once with a fellow

contestant. After each routine they were evaluated by the executive producer Nigel Lythgoe and the other resident judge, Mary Murphy, as well as by the guest judges Lady Gaga and Rob Marshall.

“If they move with a little bit of flavor, it’s thrown in the hiphop category,” Rue said while watching the routine commended for swagginess. He lamented the lack of locking and popping — the funk-era foundations from which modern street dance emerged: “This is hip-hop light.”

All five were baffled by the omission of classical ballet and tap from the routines, while the jive and international rumba are included.

“Have every couple do the same pas de deux and the same tap duet,” Dorrance said. “That would be a show.”

As the episode progressed, the dancers designated Melanie Moore their favorite contestant.

“She’s not so showy,” Peck said after the 19-year-old performed a duet that featured a daring leap into her partner’s arms. “It comes from inside.”

They also grew to respect the judgment of Lady Gaga, after

first challenging her qualifications. But following the contestant Marko Germar’s impassioned contemporary number, the group was surprised to see both him and Lady Gaga in tears.

“This is totally for ratings,” Rue said as Germar’s eyes watered.

“Who wants to hire somebody like that — that’s going to cry every time they have to do an emotional piece?” Peck asked.

“That’s the thing,” Marcin said later, before posing what may have been the night’s most trenchant question. “Are they grooming professional dancers?”

The answer seems to be no, considering the track record.

(Many former contestants go on to teach and participate in future seasons, creating, in the manner of many talent-driven reality shows, a self-referential loop.) To McMurray this signaled a shift in the show’s direction.

Throughout the episode, the dancers criticized its slickness — dizzying camera angles and flashy choreographic feats. At the same time they recognized that these elements give the program its mainstream appeal. They have helped to update dance’s image, making it sexier and more socially acceptable for young men. The show can also serve as a gateway to a deeper involvement with the art. That’s why the five each said they would, if asked, appear on it as guests to promote their field (as Peck did last year when she performed on “Dancing With the Stars”).

Even so, they cringed at the excessive kicks, splits and spins.

“You want someone to be excited about dance and then be able to go sit through a ballet where they’re not doing flips and tricks and appreciate that as well,” Marcin said.

Tim Allen is a new ‘Man’ in ABC comedy

Allman cancels dates for medical reasons

BEVERLY HILLS, Calif. — One thing is clear about Tim Allen’s new ABC comedy, “Last Man Standing.” James Brown’s classic “It’s a Man’s Man’s Man’s World” will NOT be the theme song.

“Last Man Standing” is a vehicle for Allen’s testosterone-fueled persona that he strutted with his popular “Home Improvement.”

But unlike that series, Allen is now surrounded by women.

“I really wanted to flip-flop ‘Home Improvement,’” Allen said as he discussed the series during ABC’s portion of the Television Critics Association press tour. “I really wanted to investigate an area where this guy is operating around all these women who are intelligent and loving.”

In “Last Man Standing,” Allen plays Mike Baxter, who travels around the world for his duties as an executive at an iconic outdoor sporting goods store. He is happily married to Vanessa (Nancy Travis) and has three daughters. When hard times hit the store, Mike decides he should stay closer to home, which will allow him more time to spend with his daughters, who are all experiencing various problems.

Allen said there are similarities between his two shows. Instead of working around tools as he did on “Home Improvement,” he will be dealing with “hunting and guns.”

NEW YORK — Rock legend Gregg Allman has canceled tour dates from Aug. 26 to Sept. 15 because of a persistent illness.

A statement from Allman’s publicist on Monday says the 63year-old has an “upper respiratory condition” that will require several days of hospitalization and four to six weeks of bed rest.

Allman underwent a successful liver transplant last year and returned to the road just a few months later.

The Rock and Roll Hall of Fame inductee canceled the final four dates of his recent European tour because of the same illness. Doctors had hoped the rest would resolve the ailment, but Allman remained sick.

Allman plans to reschedule the canceled dates and hopes to return to the road in late fall.

‘Charlie’s Angels’ gets a new life BEVERLY HILLS, Calif. — Some shows refuse to die, and “Charlie’s Angels” would, by any measure, be one of them. There was the ABC series (’76-’81), followed after the welcome space of two decades by the pair of theatricals. Now, back from the afterlife, is an ABC remake starring Rachael Taylor (Abby), Minka Kelly (Eve), Annie Ilonzeh (Kate) and Ramon Rodriguez (Bosley).

Leonard Goldberg, 77 — the legendary producer who along with Aaron Spelling was showrunner on the old ABC Velveeta cheese factory that starred Kate Jackson, Farrah Fawcett and Jaclyn Smith — said this Sunday from the stage of the Beverly Hilton: “We wanted to try and preserve what was great about the original and find something new.”

Lynn forced to cancel dates due to surgery NASHVILLE, Tenn. — Loretta Lynn has been sidelined by knee surgery.

A statement says the country music icon will cancel dates through a Sept. 3 show at her ranch in Hurricane Mills, Tenn.

She is scheduled to undergo reconstructive knee surgery and needs time to recover. Lynn says in the statement she’s “sad” to cancel the shows, “but they tell me I’ve just got to stay off this knee for a while.”

Lynn recently returned to live performances with a show at the Grand Ole Opry after being forced to cancel shows in Ohio and Connecticut because she was hospitalized for heat exhaustion. The 76-year-old Country Music Hall of Fame member said she had spent too much time in her garden in extreme heat.

Neil trial delayed on Vegas battery charge LAS VEGAS — Motley Crüe singer Vince Neil is getting an emergency postponement in his Las Vegas trial on misdemeanor charges stemming from a confrontation with an ex-girlfriend at a casino comedy club.

A Las Vegas judge granted the request Monday during a brief hearing. The trial was rescheduled for Nov. 7.

A lawyer for the 50-year-old rocker did not explain why he was requesting the continuance.

Neil did not appear in court for the hearing.

Neil has pleaded not guilty to the misdemeanor battery and disorderly conduct charges.

He’s accused of poking the chest of Las Vegas entertainment reporter Alicia Jacobs in a casino comedy club March 24, and cursing and pointing at Jacobs and two friends sitting with her.

Big Boi arrested on drug charges MIAMI — Grammy-winning OutKast rapper Big Boi has been arrested in Miami for possession of drugs including Ecstasy and Viagra pills.

The rapper, whose real name is Antwan Patton, was charged with three counts of possession of a controlled substance and one count of possession of drug paraphernalia on Sunday.

According to the Miami-Dade County Corrections website, the 36-year-old Patton was also carrying MDMA, which is the main ingredient in Ecstasy.

The rapper was booked around 1:30 p.m. on $16,000 bond.

Phone and e-mail messages were left for Big Boi’s publicists.

Big Boi is best known as half of the groundbreaking rap duo OutKast, which includes Andre 3000. The Atlanta-based group won six Grammys and churned out six platinum-plus albums, including their “Speakerboxxx/ The Love Below,” which sold over 10 million copies.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY for Tuesday, Aug. 9, 2011: This year, much occurs in your dayto-day life. You naturally will have a good time and enjoy yourself.

Romance will be dominant for many of you. If you are attached, you might see the embers of love flash into flames once more.

Stoke these fires. Work on not suppressing your difficult feelings so much. If you are able to move through them, you will be freer and more present in the moment.

CAPRICORN understands you well.

The Stars Show the Kind of Day You’ll Have: 5-Dynamic; 4-Positive; 3-Average; 2-So-so; 1-Difficult ARIES (March 21-April 19) HHHH Handle all necessary research by midday. You will want to execute a plan by then. Take the lead, trusting that others will follow. Give up trying to coerce those in your daily life. Your temper could build late today as you encounter frustration. Tonight: Burning the candle at both ends.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) HHHHH Deal directly with a loved one in the morning. At a certain point, you will need to let go and trust. Detach from the immediate situation, knowing full well what is going on. Listen to others but refuse to trigger.

Tonight: Let your mind wander.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) HHHH Others want to run with the ball. You do have a choice, but the smart decision is to let them have their way. Experience is a wonderful teacher. Relate directly

to a partner or loved one in order to reduce frustration. Tonight: Catch up on news over dinner.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) HHHH Dive into work, and get as much done as humanly possible.

Midday, a change in interest points to a new direction. Take time to catch up with others. A little networking goes quite far. Your follow-through counts. Tonight: The only answer is “yes.”

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) HHHH You might have difficulty settling down this morning, but by mid-afternoon, you could have a total personality change.

You ask powerful questions. Be ready to confront your own anger.

It could be coloring a situation.

Tonight: Get some exercise.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) HHHH Getting started could be challenging this morning. Your creativity surges this afternoon, allowing for more options. Your ability to transform so quickly could stun many people. Refuse to get irritated with a friend. Tonight: So what if it is a weekday?

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) HHHH Make calls early on.

Ultimately, meetings will be better for you this morning than in the afternoon. You have your hands full and a lot to consider and evaluate.

Use late p.m. to evaluate what you have heard and what you need to ask about. Tonight: Happy at home.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) HHHH You have a tendency to splurge and go overboard, especially in the morning. In a fashion, you say “yes” to

these tendencies rather than confront the main issue. By the afternoon, you will be more willing to talk. Curb your temper.

Tonight: Hang out with friends.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) HHHH You have spark in the morning and are close to unstoppable. By the evening, your fuse is dying, if not dead. Try to keep more stationary or easy tasks for late today. If you can, get out of work as early as possible. Tonight: Treat yourself on the way home.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) HHHH You perk up midday and feel like a different person. How you feel is indicative of what you can do.

Drop the words “can’t” and “no” from your mind, just for the evening. See if that doesn’t make a difference.

Tonight: Grinning the night away.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) HHH Use the morning to home in on a long-term objective. Don’t allow someone to trip you up.

Try to avoid postponements. You are at your best before noon.

Quit swallowing anger, and try to verbalize your frustration and hurt. Tonight: Close to home.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) HHHH Demands are heavy. Take a stand. The afternoon is well spent networking, promoting an idea and encouraging supporters.

Your imagination might be accelerated by an either/or situation.

Tonight: Where the action is.

For a Cuban American cartographer,

An early version of the new National Geographic map of Cuba that was created by Juan Valdes.

a map that’s a labor of love

By David Montgomery The Washington Post

WASHINGTON — Squint at this map just right, with a pair of wistful eyes — Juan Jose Valdes’s eyes — and it reveals more than shapes and symbols on a grid of latitude and longitude.

There is the warmth of the setting sun splashing gold over the sugar cane fields. The smell of coffee and the sea. The sound of the wind in the palms. Somewhere, also, is a little boy who loved maps in Havana, plotting the location of revolutionary battles on his Esso gas station road guide — until one day, the boy was put on a plane, alone, bound for colder places he knew only from maps.

“To a Cuban, there’s nothing more iconic than a map of the island,” Valdes said now, holding up his latest creation for inspection.

It’s a brand new map of Cuba, the National Geographic Society’s first comprehensive rendering of the Caribbean nation since 1906. It’s a classic wall map, 3 feet by 2 feet, 24 miles to the inch. The island stretches like a bony finger across the azure sea.

The map breaks cartographic news, which is not easy for a map to do anymore. Last year, Cuba created two new provinces on the western end of the island.

Hello, Artemisa and Mayabeque.

Valdes’s coordinates this minute locate him at a drawing table in the maps division on the seventh floor of National Geographic’s headquarters on 17th Street NW. He is 57. It is almost exactly 50 years since his parents put him on a plane in August 1961, several months after the Bay of Pigs invasion.

He grew up to be a cartographer and geographer — the Geographer, in fact, at National Geographic, charged with helping direct map policies and projects.

Last year, during a brainstorming session, he said to his colleagues,

Kitchen Continued from E1 Botts recalls how the shutting down of Bend’s lumber mills triggered a recession in Bend during the 1980s. “People were living in their cars, and there was a great need for a place for people to get food,” she says. By 1986, a small group at Trinity Episcopal Church decided on a once-aweek outreach, serving dinner to the homeless on Tuesday nights.

“We had nothing when we started. And we knew nothing.

We had no expertise whatsoever.

It was simply stepping out on faith,” Botts says. “We just said, ‘We’ll try. There’s no reason we shouldn’t try.’”

The first two weeks, nobody came. The third week, three people stopped in for a meal, the fourth week, 12, the fifth, 25. Before long, 80 people showed up regularly.

“We actually brought food from home; we were just potlucking it,” Botts says. “After we got a few people there, we did start cooking at the church. From the very beginning the church was all for it, and there were tons of people who signed up.

“We just had a very meager organization, and no overhead, of course. We shopped frugally and we went just month to month, as far as expenses went,” Botts adds. “After we got going, we invited other churches to join in, and that’s why it’s a very ecumenical movement with many churches helping, and has been from about six months into the ministry.”

Today, along with Trinity Episcopal, there are 13 other churches whose members make up individual teams, which serve at certain times during the month.

In total, there are 18 teams that prepare and serve meals, as well as other teams that do the food shopping and pick up donations.

The teen “prep squad” comes in once a week to bake, chop vegetables and more.

In addition to churches, there are volunteer teams from Cascade Culinary Institute at Central Oregon Community College and the Mt. Bachelor Rotary Club. Some teams have actual chefs, but more are needed, as are monetary donations.

Volunteers for 15 years, Botts and her husband, Ron, still make monthly contributions. She says she thought at its inception that the program would last maybe three to five years. “I’m very, very surprised that there are that many hungry people.”

How about a map of Cuba?

It was his dream project, bringing his life full circle. He poured everything he had into it, as if the standard data on a conventional map could resonate with something more.

“When I was mapping the beach areas, I would remember the wind hitting the palm trees,” he said. “Every day, I would feel, ‘I’ve been there. That looks like that. That smells like this. This tastes like that.’”

His eyes moisten as he tells the story of the map.

During the six months of production, on his way from the elevator to his office, he would pass a wall plaque with words he often quotes, attributed to Gilbert Grosvenor, the first editor of National Geographic Magazine: “A map is the greatest of all epic poems. Its lines and colors show the realization of great dreams.”

A new home The boy thought he and his parents were going to the airport to look at planes, as he sometimes did for fun with his father or uncle. He would be quizzed on the origins of different national airlines. His first geography lessons.

Instead, that day he had to say goodbye to his parents for nearly seven months. Goodbye to Cuba for much longer, maybe forever.

Jose and Juliana Valdes worked for Cuban Electric Power and Light. The family lived comfortably in a middle-class Havana suburb, with a car and a housekeeper.

They were not politically active but were skeptical of the revolution, their only child recalled.

“They just wanted to carry on with their lives.”

Juan had tracked Fidel Castro’s march on his Esso map. The day after a freighter from Belgium with munitions for Castro’s army exploded in the harbor in

Room to grow Donna Thayer began volunteering with the St. Francis of Assisi team about nine years ago.

After a few years, she became a team leader, and in the fall of 2007, became board president, a tenure that lasted through earlier this year.

Dinner was already being served Tuesdays and Thursdays, as well as a Saturday sack lunch. During Thayer’s tenure as president, weekday lunches were added on Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays.

“We knew that the ultimate goal in the community was that there would be at least one meal a day people could access,” and Sundays were already taken care of by Bend’s Community Center, she says.

“When we did the pilot program for the Monday, Wednesday, Friday lunches, we weren’t sure we were going to be able to sustain that financially, or if anybody would come,” Thayer says.

“And then, of course, we realized that, yeah, people needed it, and they came a lot.”

In 2010, the Family Kitchen moved across the street into St. Helen’s Hall on the former Trinity Lutheran site. Trinity Episcopal — the “red door church” to many — purchased it three years ago when Trinity Lutheran moved.

Kirby Nagelhout Construction handled the work on the stateof-the-art kitchen, which is certified commercial and subject to county health inspections.

Dinner is served restaurantstyle, with a volunteer taking orders. There’s a piano in the dining room that patrons use to provide a mealtime tune, and a mural by Bend artist Kim Smallenburg.

1960, a teacher in his Catholic school made a geography lesson out of the ship’s route to Cuba.

After the Bay of Pigs invasion, Juan’s school was closed. His parents wanted no part of the new order, while other relatives supported the revolution.

The parents could get only one plane ticket, according to their son. Friends in Miami met Juan, then 7, at the airport.

In early 1962, his parents made it to Miami. His father got a job unloading bananas from Central America. One day he got lost coming home from the wharf, and he called his son. Juan ran to a nearby fire station, found a map and talked his father home.

“That a map could do that,” he said.

After a year or so in Miami, one day his father came home and announced they were moving to Washington.

Which Washington? the boy wanted to know. On the plane, he kept a lookout for the Rockies. Instead he saw the Atlantic Ocean, and he knew they were moving to Washington, D.C. Waiting for the family at National Airport were a dozen members of the Senior High Fellowship of Wheaton (Md.) Presbyterian Church. As part of a Cuban refugee settlement program, the teens had raised $200 to help the Valdeses.

Jose got a job in data processing at the Washington Star, then at IBM, while the son graduated from Wheaton High School and became an American citizen. (Juliana died in 1983; Jose is retired and living in suburban Washington.)

Juan majored in geography and minored in cartography at the University of Maryland.

He was hired by National Geographic in 1976.

He married his high school sweetheart, Kathleen Wessells, and they have two adult daughters and two granddaughters.

15 hours a week as the part-time program coordinator. In her year and a half there, the kitchen has gone from serving, by her estimate, about 2,500 meals a month to 4,000.

“If we weren’t doing this, a lot of people wouldn’t be able to afford a decent meal on a daily basis,” she says. “They might be able to afford to eat, but they may not be able to afford to eat and pay their electric bill.

“A lot of people think we just feed the homeless, but we feed anyone that’s hungry,” she adds.

There are a lot of underemployed people. It’s tough in Bend, Oregon right now. It’s tough all over, but I think Bend’s pretty hard hit.”

Tidball, who’s done everything from work at 7-Eleven to secretarial jobs to Walmart, calls being the program coordinator her semi-retirement dream job. “I finally have … a job that means something. So it’s very rewarding.”

Asked what she hears most often from diners, Tidball answers, “Gratitude, just pure and simple.”

Because overhead is low, 97 cents of every dollar goes directly to food, but the number of diners continues to rise. One recent Thursday, 254 meals were served, and on a recent Tuesday, 292 meals. A typical weekday sees 200 lunches served.

Family Kitchen’s budget is just over $100,000 this year, says Lovering. “Like most nonprofits, we’ll have to be right at or below the budget to make it work.”

Eighty percent of Family Kitchen’s funding comes from individual donors, the rest from local businesses and groups, says Lovering.

Increasingly, he says, diners who come in are young families trying to get by, and the board

Maps are made in layers, Valdes says, paging through the many drafts of the Cuba map.

Each layer is a different set of information: Transportation networks. Major cities, provincial seats, important towns. Rivers, canals and reservoirs. Significant mountains, plains and wetlands.

Oil fields and pipelines. Ocean depths and coastal bays, gulfs, channels and archipelagos.

Modern cartographers are aggregators. The information resides in various federal and international databases. The job of Valdes and his team of four researchers and editors was to put it together in an elegant, authoritative way.

Valdes says he lavishes as much attention on all his maps, yet “my relationship to this map

is very close.”

He drew on a lifetime of buried longing to make this map special.

Some towns seemed isolated on an early draft, so he had his researchers find the highways that he knew must be there. He had them consult the latest passenger train schedules, adding and removing railroad track symbols to show, as of press time, where a traveler can go by train. The Cuban Interests Section in Washington provided details of the new provinces.

“It is pleasant to have an international organization like National Geographic showing concern about new districts in your country,” said Cuban Interests spokesman Juan Jacomino, who was born in what is now Mayabeque. “National Geographic is well credited in Cuba.”

The maps division chooses subjects not only for their reference value but also for their market appeal. Changes in Cuba, including Raul Castro succeeding brother Fidel in power and tentative moves to more private employment, are in the news.

President Barack Obama has loosened restrictions on some types of travel to the island.

Valdes can imagine his map someday being the basis for a National Geographic travelers map of Cuba.

He made that trip once. Ten years ago, National Geographic asked him to lead an 11-day educational excursion.

“There were several times I just sat down and cried,” he said.

“It just brought back too many memories.”

He made two discoveries. He had had a strange and elusive recollection that in Cuba there were “maps on the streets and on

the floors.” Could that be true?

Sure enough, on the patio of the Hotel Nacional in Havana, and in the Parque Marti in Cienfuegos, he found old tile maps worked into the paving. Once upon a time, these designs underfoot had made an impression on a map-loving boy.

Also during the tour, it dawned on him that he was leading the group on the same route that his parents had taken him on before they put him on the plane. They had wanted to implant memories of the island.

They visited the Basilica de Nuestra Senora del Cobre — Our Lady of Cobre, also known as Our Lady of Charity of Cobre — a shrine in the town of El Cobre considered sacred by many Cubans.

They also stopped at the Valle de los Ingenios, or the Valley of the Sugar Mills, outside the town of Trinidad.

There’s a hint of faraway in the Geographer’s voice when he said, “If you get there at just the right time, when the sun hits those leaves, everything turns golden green.”

The basilica and the sugar mill valley aren’t the sort of features that normally appear on a classic reference wall map.

But if you squint at the southeastern coast of Cuba on the new map, the location of the basilica is noted in tiny type. And there, on the south-central coast, is the sugar mill valley.

“That was my imprint on the map,” Valdes said. “Those are my marks.”

The Geographer plans to give a copy of the new map to each family member Wednesday, the 50th anniversary of the day he left the island.

of trustees is talking about adding a third weekly dinner with a “family night” theme.

In addition to the six meals a week already being served, each Tuesday morning, a team makes 40 sack lunches that are picked up by Central Oregon Veterans Outreach for distribution at area

homeless camps.

Rob McCafferty leads a Family Kitchen lunch crew and also helps distribute those 40 meals to veterans.

He recently moved to Bend from Colorado to be closer to family. A veteran himself, he began volunteering at Family Kitchen a

couple of months ago with a mission as simple as the kitchen’s.

“I thought it was a great idea,” he says. “Nobody should be hungry.”

Before the revolution, Juan Valdes, shown with his mother, Juliana, lived in a Havana suburb.

“Although this is home, you never really feel that it’s home,” he said. “But although my roots might be in Cuba, my trunk and my branches are here, and that trunk and those branches are my family.”

‘Spools’ close in on larger pools

f you like to bake, Central Oregon can crush your enthusiasm, along with your cakes, cookies and breads. Baked goods crafted from conventional recipes frequently fall and flatten here.

Our high altitude is to blame.

Home cooks and bakers have to learn how to tweak ingredients for baking success.

In general, it’s a matter of decreasing leavening and sugar, and increasing flour, liquid and baking temperature.

Here’s why: Bend is 3,625 feet above sea level, Redmond’s altitude is 3,077, and Sisters’ is 3,100.

Contrast that with Portland and Seattle, both at or near sea level.

You don’t have to be a scientist to understand the impact of High Desert altitude on cooking, you just need a good cookbook like “High Altitude Baking, 2nd Edition,” edited by Patricia Kendall. As Kendall, a registered dietician, explains, a high altitude means less air pressure exerted on everything, including the food you cook.

Kendall explains the three main impacts of decreased air pressure on food preparation: • Leavening gases expand more quickly in baked goods, and therefore may burst and cause food to fall before the structure is set.

• Moisture evaporates faster from foods, so flour is drier, and dough may need more liquid.

• Water and other liquids boil at lower temperatures, so food takes longer to cook, and a bowl of hot soup, for example, won’t be as hot. When canning or making candy, the home cook has to make a safety adjustment for the water boiling at a lower temperature and cook the food longer.

There are at least 50,000 varieties of peppers in the world, according to “The Science of Good Food”

by David Joachim and Andrew Schloss.

Fifty thousand.

That makes capsicums an incredibly large family of edible plants, a family that includes everything from sweet bell peppers to the very hot habanero.

Many people shy away from any pepper that’s not the familiar green or red bell for fear of the heat. But be open-minded. Not every pepper will sear your sinus membranes.

The key is asking the grower at

Move over, large lap pools. Smaller swimming holes are making a big splash.

Sure, the economy is playing a role in making this luxury littler: Smaller pool equals smaller budget. But it’s more than that, says Brett Berry, owner of Landscape Renderings, a Missouri business that designs and builds outdoor living environments.

“You can create a fantastic sense of intimacy and atmosphere with a small pool,” says Berry, who has tucked small pools into courtyards and secluded spots. “It’s easier to make an outdoor living area feel like an extension of a house when it’s a small versus a large pool.”

Take the gypsy pepper for example. This is a variety of sweet pepper that was recently available at local markets. It may resemble hot peppers you are familiar with — it’s color and shape are similar to those of a spicy Hungarian wax pepper — but like all sweet peppers, it contains a recessive gene that prevents the production of capsaicin, the compound that makes spice peppers spicy.

Many peppers, like the gypsy, are actually sweeter than bell peppers.

Roasting will concentrate the sweetness of peppers, and is always a good choice, especially if

It’s a good time to catch up with fellow gardeners, too.

F Altitude Continued from F1 We called Kendall at her home office in Fort Collins, Colo. (elevation: 5,003 feet), to clarify her strategies for high altitude baking.

She’s the associate dean for research at the College of Applied Human Sciences at Colorado State University.

Kendall told us the key to baked goods that don’t fall is slowing the rise.

“To do that, put in less leavening so it doesn’t rise as fast. You can dilute the leavening by adding more flour and more water.

“It takes some experimenting, although I think that it’s important that if you’re increasing the flour, you always want to increase the liquid, too, because otherwise you’re doing to have a drier product. If you add a teaspoon or tablespoon of flour, do the same with the liquid,” Kendall said.

In her book, Kendall notes that increasing the baking temperature also helps, especially with cakes.

“Increasing the baking temperature by 15-25 degrees helps set the batter before the cells formed by the leavening gases expand too much,” she writes.

See the chart on Page F1 for Kendall’s recommendations for adjusting recipes for high altitudes.

Sugar is decreased at higher altitudes because the greater evaporation of water in places like Central Oregon results in a higher concentration of sugar in

baked goods, which can weaken the cell structure of the food.

“Therefore, sugar is decreased and liquid is increased when adapting sea-level recipes. Fat, like sugar, weakens cell structure. Rich cakes made at high altitudes may need less shortening, oil, butter or margarine (1-2 tablespoons less per cup). On the other hand, because eggs strengthen cell structure, the addition of an egg to a sea-level recipe may help prevent a ‘toorich’ cake from falling” at higher altitudes, she writes.

The good news about all of this adjusting is that it makes the baked goods healthier with less sugar and less fat.

Unfortunately, there aren’t any hard and fast rules to guarantee that baked goods will turn out perfectly if you do one thing or another.

When baking cakes or other items from store-bought mixes, Kendall said to be sure to follow the high altitude instructions, which will generally recommend adding more flour and water.

Rest assured that if you were a good baker before you came to Central Oregon, you can be one again. It will just take repeated experimentation to learn how to bake the high altitude way.

“It’s worth the trouble to learn a new technique. You don’t have to miss out on baked goods. Once you know how to do it, it’s kind of fun to make the adjustments,” Kendall said.

QUICK FIX

Jerk seasoning adds zing to salad supper

By Linda Gassenheimer McClatchy-Tribune News Service

A pair of salads — one with jerk-seasoned chicken, the other with berries — makes a quick, refreshing summer supper.

Jerk seasoning tossed with cooked, boneless, skinless chicken breast meat gives zip to this Caribbean-influenced dinner.

Allspice, the fruit of the pimiento tree, is the key ingredient in this Jamaican seasoning

blend. True jerk recipes are grilled over pimiento branches.

Seasonal berries garnished with coconut add a sweet counterpoint to the meal, which contains 560 calories per serving with 26 percent of calories from fat.

Fred Tasker’s Wine suggestion: This chicken dish is spicy enough for a zingy red wine such as an Australian shiraz.

Helpful hints • Any vegetables can be used for the salad.

• Any brand of jerk seasoning can be used.

• A quick way to chop cilantro is to snip the leaves with a scissors.

JERK-SEASONED CHICKEN SALAD Makes 2 servings.

10 oz cooked chicken breast strips or cubes 2 tsp jerk seasoning 1 tsp canola oil 5 C washed, ready-to-eat

F Family night? Cook outside the box

By Heidi Stevens Ch icago Trib u n e

There’s ice cream night at my house. And then there’s Ice Cream Night.

Ice Cream Night is different than the casual meeting of Breyers and bowl. Ice Cream Night is an affair. It requires planning and shopping and sweat. Actual sweat. We break out the handcrank ice cream maker, the rock salt, the heavy cream, the sugar and all the rest. We get to work.

We wait.

We savor the results.

But nightly? Nah. Store-bought ice cream is eminently easier and

plenty delicious. The pleasures of Ice Cream Night, though, have permeated my psyche such that I eye our other go-to prepackaged dishes with skepticism. Is it really cheese if it’s powdered?

Are my brownies packing maximum chocolate? Should I be dousing my fresh veggies in a dressing that doesn’t expire until 2012?

No, no and no. What packaged offers in convenience, fromscratch more than makes up for in taste, of course, but also in the connectedness you feel with the ingredients and creation and final results.

To put that point to the test,

we conducted side-by-side taste tests of store-bought and madefrom-scratch balsamic vinaigrette, macaroni and cheese and brownies.

The scratch versions took significantly more time (an hour longer, in the case of our mac ’n’ cheese) and cost a bit more (how much more depends on the quality and brand of your ingredients). But the difference in pleasure was incalculable.

“What’s that ‘Untouchables’ line?” asked one fellow, tasting the boxed mac ’n’ cheese on the heels of the scratch stuff. “It’s like bringing a knife to a gunfight.”

UPTOWN GET-DOWN MACARONI AND CHEESE Makes 4 to 6 servings.

5 TBS unsalted butter 3 TBS flour 1½ C milk, or half-and-half, heated ½ tsp salt ¼ tsp freshly ground pepper

Heat oven to 350 degrees. Cook macaroni in a stockpot of boiling salted water, until al dente, 5 minutes. Drain; return macaroni to stockpot. Toss with remaining 2 tablespoons butter and garlic.

Add sauce; toss.

Lemons? Limes? Key limes?

Mix and match for margarita bliss

By Judy Hevrdejs Ch icago Trib u n e

What makes a better margarita, Persian limes or little Key limes or mixing either with lemon? Margarita aficionados (i.e. colleagues) had a feisty discussion which led to this: Are the three interchangeable in the kitchen?

Probably yes, probably no.

Each will play up other flavors in a dish, so knowing their traits can guide their use. Key limes (Citrus aurantifolia) are small, yellower, more acidic and more aromatic than darker green Persians (Citrus latifolia). Key limes have seeds. Persian limes, also called Bearss, usually have no seeds and are less acidic.

Lemons sub for vinegar in some sauces and salad dressings, add kick to fish and meat dishes and tart up dessert. They’re less acidic by weight than limes.

Chef Norman Van Aken’s savvy about citrus. The Norman of Norman’s in the Ritz-Carlton in Orlando, Fla., he’s also exec chef at the Miami Culinary Institute’s restaurant.

His take? “There are different levels of acidity among the lemon, lime and Key lime. I don’t find that there is a grand difference between Key limes and Persian limes, but I do think Key limes are a bit more tart. Because of the acidity and potency of the Key lime, 9 times out of 10,

I’m going to counterbalance that acidity,” he said, citing Key lime pie’s sweetened condensed milk as an example.

“The Key lime has a complexity that is kind of fascinating,” he adds, while a Persian lime “is not as potent, nor do I find it to be quite as complex.”

But he uses all three to give a dish “lift.” “Generally, you’re looking for salt, pepper and acid in almost every food that you eat.”

And the margarita argument?

“Get Key limes and Persian limes. Make your favorite limebased cocktail. Try one with the Key lime, one with Persian. See what you like.”

H Small pools Continued from F1 Plus, care and maintenance are a lot less with a small pool, says Berry, who grew up with a 20-by-40-foot backyard pool that had to be vacuumed and chemically treated each day. “Most people, especially working parents, want a hassle-free pool.”

When Berry was working with Don and Lucie Black of Prairie Village on replacing their deck, he suggested a small in-ground pool instead of an above-ground hot tub. Initially, they weren’t convinced.

“Before we moved into this house, we avoided looking at houses with swimming pools,” Lucie Black says. “I couldn’t imagine taking care of a lap pool every day.”

But what Berry envisioned with brothers Kirk and Dennis Strobel of Land and Water LLC, a swimming pool design and construction company in Kansas City, Mo., was much different than a rectangle that soaked up a lot of real estate in the backyard.

They came up with an 8-by-12foot hybrid hot tub and pool that some in the industry refer to as a “spool.”

“Too big to be a spa, too small to be a pool,” Kirk Strobel says.

The average hot tub is 7 feet in diameter, and a conventional pool is 18 by 36 feet.

The Blacks’ spool looks more like a natural water feature than a swimming pool. The backdrop is a water fountain that flows down a rock ledge into a g unite basin. A U-shaped bench inside the pool surrounds spa jets. The front end is for swimming. The typical pool raft takes up the width of the pool.

“I wouldn’t want it any bigger or any smaller,” Don Black says. “The pool, combined with a pergola, has given us a whole new place to entertain. We sit out here on evenings and have the family over. Our granddaughter plays here.”

The Blacks’ spool takes up only a small slice of their yard

A “spool” installed by Kirk Strobel in 1987 is just steps from a home’s back door. In addition to being easier to maintain, heating a spool is 75 percent less than the cost of a conventional swimming pool if the correct equipment is used, Strobel says.

Exercise options Sure, you can’t play a regulation water volleyball game. But you can still do water aerobics and even swim laps.

Water “treadmills”: Badu SwimJet Systems can be installed in any type of pool, new or existing, vinyl liner or concrete, large or small. Capable of creating a current of 5,000 gallons per minute, the jets can be adjusted to provide resistance for a walk, jog or swim. They cost between $4,000 and $6,000.

Aerobics: Have a certified water instructor come up with a workout based on your pool’s size, depth, temperature and number of participants, says V. J. Blaney, assistant fitness supervisor at Matt Ross Community Center in Overland Park. A deep-water workout in 5 feet of water would require special equipment like a noodle, she says. that is mostly devoted to gardens. Often, smaller pools coincide with shrinking lot sizes.

“The housing boom created houses of a significant stature with not much room left for a yard,” Berry said.

Another reason for more diminutive backyard swimming pools is the rising number of swim parks, says Jim Dott, de-

signer at Blue Haven Pools & Spas, a national company.

“They feel like they can get the slides and those kinds of features at the parks,” Dott says.

“So they’re trying to make their backyards more like a beautiful resort. They can do that with a smaller pool.”

And with smaller pools, the landscaping is much less, Dott

Lucie Jane Black, 4, floats in the spool — a combination in-ground small pool and spa — in the backyard of her grandparent’s home. Don and Lucie Black had the spool installed about two years ago. “I wouldn’t want it any bigger or any smaller,” Don Black says. “(It) has given us a whole new place to entertain.” points out. That’s a big consideration because the surrounds are typically one-fourth the cost of pool projects.

Heating a spool is 75 percent less than the cost of a conventional swimming pool if the correct equipment is used, Strobel says. Because of their size and minimal maintenance, small pools can be used for many months of the year. For example, a spool’s temperature can increase by 30 degrees in about two hours. Based on 1,000 BTUs of gas per hour, this would allow someone to maintain a temperature of about 50 degrees in cold months and within two hours be swimming in 80 degree water.

Or enjoy the temperatures of a hot tub in about three hours.

With computer-managed pumps, the electricity required to maintain a spool would be equal or less than that of a refrigerator.

The Blacks use their spool year round, even Christmas. They keep the pool covered in the fall and winter. “It takes about 10

What else is hot in pools?

Ozone for cleaning: Ozone gas is an active form of oxygen that reacts with bacteria, viruses, algae and other water impurities. At low concentration levels in the water, it has no effect on your skin and eyes.

Many municipal water purification plants use ozone to treat local drinking water. When the ozone gas dissolved in water comes in contact with impurities, it oxidizes them as chlorine chemicals do. It also causes particles and body oils to clump so the filter can more effectively remove them. An ozone generator is installed in the existing pool or spa filter plumbing. The generator injects ozone gas into the pool water through a small tube. An ozone system is not chemical-free because you still need to keep a level of chlorine in the pool water, about 20 percent as much. There are two types of ozone generators: ultraviolet, which uses a fluorescent light to create ozone as the sun does; and corona discharge, which uses an electrical arc inside a generator to create ozone as lightning does. Ozone is often used in combination with saltwater (saltgenerated chlorine) pools.

Sun ledges for lounging: These 6-inch deep integrated areas allow people to sit in the water without fully submerging. “People who go to pools at the hotels in Las Vegas experience these and want to bring them home,” says pool designer Jim Dott of Blue Haven Pools in Shawnee, Kan.

seconds to put on the pieces,” Lucie Black says.

And the spool has kept them cool and entertained during these hot summer days.

“The only downside is filtering out the June bugs,” Don Black says. “But at least we don’t have as many of them as we would with a bigger pool.”

What to spruce up despite the heat

By AlHeavens The Philadelphia Inquirer

We all know the philosophy, whether via the Bible or the Byrds: To everything there is a season, and a time to every purpose.

It’s just common sense — and good dollars and cents — that this is not the season to accomplish certain things around the house.

When the temperature is tickling 100, it’s not the time to plant trees and shrubs — unless you’re really into pulling up dead flora and spending money to replace it.

But there are quite a few projects — do-it-yourself or do-it-byhire — that can be accomplished in air-conditioned indoor comfort or outside in the early morning or early evening, when the sun is less than blazing hot. Consider this your summertime punch list.

(Cost estimates offered below are based on national averages.

Always shop carefully until you find the product and price that make you happy, and pay attention to product warranties and service guarantees.)

Install a lawn sprinkler. “Because fall is the best time to plant new or restore grass,” said Tom Krautler, host of The Money Pit radio program, “and a sprinkler system will make sure it survives.”

Want to hire someone to install the sprinkler for you? Costowl. com, which provides estimates of prices nationally, says you’re likely to pay an average of $2,000 to $3,000 for a 2,500-square-foot lawn. Sprinkler heads can cost $400 to $600 each.

Do some hardscaping. That is, lay down bricks or concrete pavers to build a patio or accent a garden.

Doing it yourself will save la-

bor costs, of course. If you want to hire a professional, though, Costowl.com provides a per-squarefoot range of $8 to $12 for basic stamped concrete, $10 to $20 for concrete pavers, about $7.50 for brick, and $15 to $30 for stone.

Replace a door. A new front door drives home values up, Krautler said, adding that new fiberglass doors are attractive and energy-efficient — four times more than wood.

Costowl.com says you’ll pay $200 to $300 for a basic fiberglass door with no add-ons, but a complete fiberglass entry system could cost $2,000 to $4,000.

Install a programmable thermostat. Buying an Energy Star-rated model costs “as little as $25,” according to Ronnie Kweller of the Alliance to Save Energy, and it can cut energy expenses 10 percent.

Permaculture growing from the underground Movement’s faithful preach methods of sustainable living

By Michael Tortorello New York Times News Service

As a way to save the world, digging a ditch next to a hillock of sheep dung would seem to be a modest start. Granted, the ditch was not just a ditch. It was meant to be a “swale,” an earthwork for slowing the flow of water down a slope on a hobby farm in western Wisconsin.

And the trenchers, far from being day laborers, had paid $1,300 to $1,500 for the privilege of working their spades on a cement-skied Tuesday morning in late June.

Fourteen of us had assembled to learn permaculture, a simple system for designing sustainable human settlements, restoring soil, planting year-round food landscapes, conserving water, redirecting the waste stream, forming more companionable communities and, if everything went according to plan, turning the earth’s looming resource crisis into a new age of happiness.

It was going to have to be a pretty awesome ditch.

That was the sense I took away from auditing four days of a weeklong Permaculture Design Certificate course led by Wayne Weiseman, 58, director of the Permaculture Project, in Carbondale, Ill. The movement’s founders, Bill Mollison and David Holmgren, coined the term permaculture in the mid-1970s, as a portmanteau of permanent agriculture and permanent culture.

Sum of practices In practice, permaculture is a growing and influential movement that runs deep beneath sustainable farming and urban food gardening. You can find permaculturists setting up worm trays and bee boxes, aquaponics ponds and chicken roosts, composting toilets and rain barrels, solar panels and earth houses.

Truly, permaculture contains enough badges of eco-merit to fill a Girl Scout sash. Permies (yes, they use that term) like to experiment with fermentation, mushrooming, foraging (also known as wildcrafting) and herbal medicine.

Yet permaculture aims to be more than the sum of those practices, said David Cody, 39, who teaches the system and creates urban food gardens in San Francisco.

“It’s an ecological theory of everything,” Cody said. “Here’s a planet Earth operating manual. Do you want to go along for a ride with us?”

It’s hard to say just how many have climbed aboard the mother ship. In San Francisco, Cody saw more than 1,500 volunteers turn out in 2010 to create Hayes Valley Farm, a pop-up food garden near the site of a collapsed freeway ramp.

“I like to say it was the largest sheet-mulching project ever done in the world,” said Cody, who designed the garden following the permaculture principles and directed the process of covering the ground with a cardboard weed barrier and organic material.

“We sheet-mulched about an acre and a half,” he said. “That’s something like 80,000 pounds of cardboard diverted from the waste stream.”

In the past four years, Cody has helped train 250 students through the Urban Permaculture Institute in San Francisco.

Scott Pittman, 71, who directs the national Permaculture Institute from a farmstead outside Santa Fe, N.M., estimates that 100,000 to 150,000 students have completed the certificate course since the philosophy was developed in Tasmania more than three decades ago.

But then permaculture has no membership rolls or census-takers. By intention, “it has been, for all of the years I’ve been involved, a pretty decentralized movement,” Pittman said. The message seems to get out in its

A warning sign at a permaculture garden run by Claudia Joseph at the Old Stone House in Washington Park in New York.

Permaculture, an ecological movement with no publicists, has picked up steam in communities as a way of moving toward a sustainable future. own fashion, without publicists.

Permaculture, Pittman said, is “guided by the curriculum and a sense of ethics, and that’s pretty much it.”

The ethic of permaculture is the movement’s Nicene Creed, or golden rule: care of the earth; care of people; and a return of surplus time, energy and money, to the cause of bettering the earth and its people.

In its effort to be universal, permaculture espouses no religion or spiritual element. Still, joining the movement seems to strike many of its practitioners as a kind of conversion experience.

It’s a system, permaculturists contend, that can work anywhere.

In Park Slope, Brooklyn, Claudia Joseph, 53, has used the precepts of permaculture to develop new food gardens at the Old Stone House. (Its original 1699 Dutch edifice was a locus of the Battle of Brooklyn in the Revolutionary War.) “It’s a huge breakthrough,” she said. “To go from a swatch of grass to 1,000 blueberry bushes.”

Suited toward small With its focus on close planting and human-scale projects, permaculture is ideally suited to a small suburban yard or a patio garden. But most of the students I met in Wisconsin had their own 1,000-blueberry-bush visions and ideas on how permaculture could help fulfill them.

Kris Beck, 48, a founder of an energy-efficiency tech company, had a notion to build a sanctuary with a megalithic stone circle (think Stonehenge) on her family’s old Wisconsin dairy farm, along the Mississippi River bluffs.

Bruce Feldman, 60, who spent two decades as an English teacher overseas, experienced the collapse of the baht in Thailand (he was being paid in that currency), and an earthquake in Japan, in 1995, that left him wandering the streets for four days. These events, Feldman said, “got me thinking that I should start preparing for my own future,” ideally, a four- or five-acre self-reliant homestead in the Ozarks of Arkansas.

Labs, as it were, took place in the toolshed. On the first day, Weiseman demonstrated how to create biochar, or partly burned charcoal, in a primitive “rocket” stove, a device he assembled out of a piece of ductwork and a paint can.

Helpful mineral elements attach themselves to the unique molecular structure of biochar, Weiseman explained. Mixed with compost, it makes a topdressing for trees.

Next, he started bubbling compost tea with an aquarium pump in a plastic bucket. (“Even petroleum has a place in permaculture,” he said. “The five-gallon bucket is the greatest application of petroleum in the world.”)

He wrapped a clump of standard compost in a cloth like a hobo’s bandanna pack and dunked it in water. Next, he added molasses to feed the brew.

After a couple of days, we would fling this brownish broth over the kitchen garden to enrich the soil with beneficial bacteria.

That was the concept, anyway.

A week after the workshop, I ran these theories past Jeff Gillman, 41, an associate professor at the University of Minnesota and an author of four books about gardening practices and the environment.

He professed to be “a believer in the whole concept of permaculture.” But he dismissed the compost tea as “lunacy.” Scattering a few foreign microbes into a sea of soil, he said, was like parachuting 10,000 people across the breadth of the Sahara. They would not survive.

Normal compost, the solid stuff from a backyard bin, “should already contain all the microbes that are beneficial to the soil,” he said. And if it doesn’t, “beneficial microbes move in very, very quickly.”

With biochar, Gillman admitted to a bit of bafflement.

“Charcoal, in general, is not in and of itself harmful to soil,” he explained. “It helps to hold on to nutrients. But having said that, it boggles my mind why you would take a perfectly good block of wood that you could use as compost or mulch, and burn it.”

In a broad sense, though, permaculture is not about the scientific method or textbook agronomy.

“I don’t know that anyone has ever done a double-blind study of permaculture,” said Pittman of the national Permaculture Institute. “Most people in permaculture are not that interested in doing those kinds of studies.

They’re more interested in demonstrating it. You can see the difference in species diversity and yield just by looking at the system.”

As Weiseman observed, permaculture may be a “leap of faith.” But not leaping might have its own consequences.

Beginning with Mollison, permaculturists have forecast a near future of resource scarcity.

“Not just peak oil,” Weiseman said, “but peak water, peak soil.”

And the news, with its drumbeat of economic decline and ecological catastrophe, feeds the prophecies. In this dystopia to come, permaculture won’t be a lifestyle choice, but a necessity.

Lull Continued from F1 “Unknowingly homeowners can damage the root ball by jerking out the burlap and wire, not knowing how enmeshed they are with the tree roots,” McCarthy said. “When trees are dug and B&B’d, the plant’s roots are now encapsulated in a tight ball of (nutritious) clay soil they were grown in, held together by wireframed burlap.”

Unless you are familiar with the laborious technique of root washing prior to planting (it’s explained by Linda Chalker-Scott of Washington State University Extension Service at http://tinyurl.com/619lnbe), you are apt to have chunks of that clay breaking apart and taking the roots with them if you remove the entire B&B support package of burlap and wire.

From McCarthy’s professional experience of more than 18 years, she feels it is perfectly acceptable to plant the tree with the bottom half of the burlap remaining (burlap used in B&B is designed to disintegrate) and as much of the wire cage cut away as is feasible without harming the roots. She also strongly believes in making the planting hole as wide as possible, not over amending the soil, adding in some form of mychorrizae (soil organism) product and letting a slow stream of water settle the back filled soil around the roots.

McCarthy’s e-mail should be a reminder to all of us that at times we are sloppy in our planting procedures. How many times have we all come home with sixpacks of flowers to hurriedly fill in a bare spot before company comes, giving no regard to digging a proper hole and massaging out the root mass. And then we wonder why we didn’t have success.

In response to the same article, another reader shared an experience of planting rose bushes adjacent to a heat pump. “The rose nearest the heat pump grew fine the first summer even with the hot air lowing on it but was dead the next spring.” The writer feels sure it was from the extreme cold air flow from the heat pump that did the damage. I would add the thought that without sufficient snow cover or supplemental winter watering, the bush also experienced dehydration, which can be a common cause of winter loss.

Odds and ends The lull in gardening activities gives a chance to catch up on actually reading the stash of gardening magazines as opposed to just looking at the pictures.

According to the August-September issue of Organic Gardening, new research from the USDA Bee Research Laboratory and Pennsylvania State Univer-

Clumsy removal can damage roots. sity shows that a toxic pesticide, imidacloprid, weakens bees and makes them more susceptible to the parasitic fungus nosema, even when the pesticide is present at extremely low levels.

For the past four years, more than 30 percent of the American honeybee population has died each year from colony collapse disorder (CCD).

Imidacloprid is one of a new class of pesticides called neonicotinoids, according to Organic Gardening. It is commonly used for insect control on food crops and lawns, for flea control on pets and indoors to kill household pests. As a systemic insecticide, it is absorbed by plants and makes leaves and other plant parts toxic to feeding insects.

Jeff Pettis, entomologist at the USDA Bee Research Laboratory, says it is a new threat. “Ten years ago, almost all pesticides were sprayed or dusted topically. Bees only came in contact with drift when they landed on a plant.

This new class of pesticide can be expressed in the nectar and the pollen.” While symptoms of neonicotinoid poisoning in honeybees look strikingly similar to CCD, Pettis says it is a mistake to lay blame on a single cause. Researchers continue to study the complex interactions that could be causing the bee die-offs.

As I worked in my garden after reading that news clip and hearing the buzz of many bees on the blooming thyme and sage, I realized that partnership with the bees was far more valuable than saving the zucchini leaf from whatever was munching on it.

I’ve taken time to read about what’s new at the Garden Gate Store — some items are practical, some just plain gimmicky.

I read the “Did You Know?” column of Garden Gate and learned that my three hours of weeding burned up 1,113 calories and the digging for the corn patch burned up 340 calories an hour. I should think that would give me a reward of two brownies and a glass of red wine. For more activities and the calories they burn, check out http://caloriecount. about.com. Just remember, we really aren’t supposed to reward ourselves with anything more than a pat on the back for a job well done.

Structures can make your garden more comfy

By Joel M. Lerner Special to The Washington Post

WASHINGTON — Nothing creates comfort and interest in a garden more than landscape structures, especially a seating area or shelter.

Architectural touches make your garden a comfortable place to be close to your favorite plants, just like a client who called in the spring to talk about her fascination with her cross-vine (Bignonia capreolata). She was enthralled by the pink flowers on the rapidly growing vine, which scaled two concrete pillars in her garden.

The summer is a good time to launch such landscape projects.

The route of a paved pathway is easier to envision with plants growing around it.

Keep the right balance between plants and architectural structures. Walkways, tables and other outdoor structures shouldn’t take up more than half of your space.

Boulders can be used to create a beautiful design. Large rocks can be strategically placed as seating, while a central flat boulder can serve as a dining or game table.Garden shelters can also enhance a landscape design and serve as the central focus of a garden. There are many types, and each offers different advantages.

Arbors, pergolas and shade trellises have open roofs. The roofs of arbors are typically cov-

ered with open rafters or lattice that can support plants. Pergolas have a more formal style and more intricate design work, and they might include side walls or pillars to support beams on top.

Shade trellises are sometimes designed with one wall that serves as wind protection or attaches the structure to a house.

Structures with solid roofs for protection against the elements are often referred to as belvederes, gazebos, loggias and porticos. Their sides are usually open so the wind can blow through.

Loggias are open-sided balconies overlooking a courtyard, while

porticos are covered promenades, generally attached to a home.

Bowers, casinos and screenedin porches are enclosed garden structures that can also function as summerhouses or guest lodgings. A bower is a rustic structure often covered with branches and vines laced together. Screened-in porches make eating and spending time outdoors relaxing and pleasant without annoying insects and inclement weather.

Casinos generally are infused with ornate Italianate style and provide the formal entry onto an estate. From the casino, visitors can enter the garden.

The safest and most natural way to deal with them is to make your home inhospitable to them.

Keep food stored in airtight containers, and be vigilant about cleaning up dishes and crumbs on counters and taking out the trash. If you remove whatever is attracting them, the insects may eventually move elsewhere in search of other food sources. It’s also important to block possible pest entryways by caulking crevices or cracks along baseboards, around cabinets and pipes, and outside around the foundation of your home.

Boric acid powder, sprinkled into exterior crevices or mixed with sugar or syrup as bait, can be an effective poison for ants and other insects. It is less toxic than conventional poisons, but it’s not completely safe and shouldn’t be used near children and pets. Diatomaceous earth (sold in many hardware and home-supply stores) is a safer choice. Ground from the fossilized shells of aquatic organisms, this fine powder is safe for people and animals but deadly to ants and other crawling bugs.

It scratches their exoskeletons, causing them to dehydrate and die.

To use boric acid or diatomaceous earth, first find the location where the ants are nesting, and then surround the area so that they have to walk through the powder when they leave the nest. If you’re not sure where the ants are coming from, place a

dab of jelly or honey on an index card and leave it in a prominent spot. Watch where the line of ants leaving the feast is headed, and focus your treatment there.

If none of these methods is effective, find an integrated pest management specialist. These experts work to control pests using physical methods, as well as the least-toxic chemicals available.

Q:

When I was in Montana last summer, a lot of people drank red beer, which is beer with a healthy splash of tomato juice. Is it only drunk in the Big Sky State?

In addition to the iconic Bloody Mary, red beer was drunk across the nation in the 1930s, after tomato juice became widely available.

Why it endured in some parts of the country and not others is a mystery.

You’re most likely to find this drink, a pint of pale lager with a shot of tomato juice, west of the Mississippi River and in the South.

Its moniker varies from place to place. If you want to order like a local, learn its regional nickname, which might be red beer, red draw, blood beer or red-eye beer. In Canada, it’s called a Calgary red-eye and often contains Clamato (tomato juice with clam broth and spices) instead of straight tomato juice.

To make your home less hospitable to ants, store all foods in airtight containers. This will encourage the ants to seek their next meal elsewhere.

Q: A:

How do I protect my dog from kennel cough?

A vaccine is the only way to protect your pet from kennel cough, or bordetella, a highly infectious respiratory illness spread among dogs through sneezes and saliva.

Because the vaccine must be given every year, the best way to ensure that your pet is protected is to keep her shots up to date. A veterinarian administers the bordetella vaccine by injection or a spray in the nose, where it is absorbed by the mucus membranes.

Despite its name, kennel cough isn’t something your dog is likely to catch at a kennel, because reputable establishments require vaccination. What’s more likely is exposure from a neighborhood pooch whose

vaccination has lapsed.

If you think your dog has been exposed to kennel cough, keep in mind that symptoms — a persistent, hacking cough and a runny nose — can take up to two weeks to surface. In the meantime, your pet can infect others, so limit her contact with them. Also, take him to the vet; your dog may need medicine to ease the symptoms, which last seven to 10 days.

Questions should be addressed to Ask Martha, care of Letters Department, Martha Stewart Living, 601 W. 26th St., 9th floor, New York, N.Y. 10001. Questions may also be sent by email to mslletters@ marthastewart.com. Please include your name, address and daytime telephone number.

Pectin to blame for raspberry cordial’s gelatinous outcome

By Kathleen Purvis McClatchy-Tribune News Service

Q:

I followed a recipe for raspberry cordial that called for heating and straining raspberries, boiling the juice with sugar and mixing it with brandy.

The next day, it had gelled,

like a meat stock made with a bone. What made it gel?

Sounds like you encountered a heteropolysaccharide — a big word for a helpful plant material called pectin.

Pectin occurs naturally in most fruits. If you’re ever made jam with a powdered product

A:

Berry cake measures up to corporate counterpart

called Sure-Gel, that’s pectin.

The high amount of sugar in the cordial recipe (8 ounces of sugar to 16 ounces of juice) also would have made the mixture seem thick when it was cooled.

Combined with the pectin from the raspberries, it was probably enough to give a gelatinized

consistency.

By the way, the substance that causes your meat stock to gel is collagen, not pectin. But that’s a discussion for another column.

Kathleen Purvis answers cooking questions at www. charlotteobserver.com/food.

Rebecca Burris of Owings Mills, Md., said she has “recently fallen in love with Starbucks’ Very Berry Coffee Cake,” and she was looking for a similar recipe so that she could make the cake at home.

Unfortunately, Starbucks does not share its recipes, but I felt confident that an Internet search would yield a recipe that would come very close to the cake that Burris enjoys so much.

I found a recipe on http://www. food.com for a Very Berry Coffee Cake that I tweaked just a bit and came up with a real winner.

This cake was good served slightly warm the day I baked it but even better the next day after

RECIPE FINDER it had cooled completely and sat overnight.

In fact, the cake held well for several days, which certainly is an added bonus if you are looking for a do-ahead brunch treat.

I would put this up against Starbucks’ cake any day.

RECIPE REQUEST Dawn Jemellaro from Baltimore is looking for a recipe that was she thinks may have been from The Baltimore Sun a long time ago for fudge that was made using instant pudding.

If you are looking for a recipe or can answer can answer a request, write to Julie Rothman, Recipe Finder, The Baltimore Sun, 501 N. Calvert Street, Baltimore, Md. 21278 or e-mail recipefinderbaltsun. com. If you send in more than one recipe, please put each on a separate piece of paper and include your name, address and daytime phone number. Important: Name and hometown must accompany recipes in order to be published. Please list the ingredients in order of use, and note the number of servings each recipe makes.

VERY BERRY COFFEE CAKE Makes 12 servings FOR THE CAKE: 1½ C sifted all-purpose flour 1 tsp baking powder ¼ tsp salt ½ C softened butter 1 C granulated sugar 2 large eggs 1 tsp pure vanilla extract ½ tsp lemon zest 3 TBS sour cream or plain yogurt

1 ⁄3 C milk 1½ C fresh berries (frozen or thawed berries may be substituted)

CRUMB TOPPING: 3 TBS softened butter 1 ⁄3 C brown sugar ¼ C all-purpose flour 1 tsp ground cinnamon

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Grease bottom and sides of a 9inch square pan with solid shortening.

Sift flour, baking powder and salt. Set aside. Cream butter and sugar with electric mixture until light. Add eggs one at a time and beat until fluffy. Add vanilla, lemon zest and sour cream or yogurt and mix well. Alternately, add flour mixture and the milk to the batter, beginning and ending with the flour. Spread half of the batter evenly into prepared pan and smooth the top. Spread berries (well drained) on top of batter. Cover berries with the remaining batter and spread the top evenly with a spatula (some of the berries will show through).

For crumb topping: Combine all ingredients and use fingers to mix and form crumbs. Spread crumbs on top of cake and bake for 35 to 40 minutes or until toothpick comes out clean and cake is golden brown. Cool completely in pan on wire rack. Cake tastes best if refrigerated overnight before serving. Serve at room temperature.

These orders are enforceable anywhere in California by any law enforcement officer who has received or seen a copy of them.

WARNING-Important Information - Warning: California law provides that, for purposes of division of property upon dissolution of a marriage or domestic partnership or upon legal separations property acquired by the parties during marriage or domestic partnership in Joint form is presumed to be community property. If either party to this action should die before the jointly held community property is divided, the language in the deed that characterizes how title is held (i.e., joint tenancy, tenants in Common, or community property) will be controlling, and not the community property presumption. You should consult your attorney if you want the community property presumption to be written into the recorded title to the property. Standard Family Law Restraining Orders: Starting immediately, you and your spouse or domestic partner are restrained from 1. Removing the minor child or children of the parties, if any, from the state without the prior written consent of the other party or an order of the court; 2. Cashing, borrowing against, canceling, transferring, disposing of, or changing the beneficiaries of any insurance or other coverage, including life, health, automobile, and disability, held for the benefit of the parties and their minor child or children, 3. Transferring, encumbering, hypothecating, concealing, or in any way disposing of any property, real or personal, whether community, quasi-community, or separate, without the written consent of the other party or an order of the court, except in the usual course of business or for the necessities of life; and 4. Creating a nonprobate transfer or modifying a nonprobate transfer in a manner that affects the disposition of property subject to the transfer, without the written consent of the other party or an order of the court. Before revocation of a nonprobate transfer can take effect or a right of survivorship to property can be eliminated, notice of the change must he filed and served on the other party.

You must notify each other of any proposed extraordinary expenditures at least five business days prior to incurring these extraordinary expenditures and account to the court for all extraordinary expenditures made after these restraining orders are effective, However, you may use community property, quasi-community property, or your own separate property to pay an attorney to help you or to pay court costs.

Anyone having any objection to the sale on any grounds whatsoever will be afforded an opportunity to be heard as to those objections if they bring a lawsuit to restrain the same. NOTICE TO RESIDENTIAL TENANTS: The property in which you are living is in foreclosure. A foreclosure sale is scheduled for November 30, 2011. Unless the lender who is foreclosing on this property is paid, the foreclosure will go through and someone new will own this property. The following information applies to you only if you occupy and rent this property as a residential dwelling under a legitimate rental agreement. The information does not apply to you if you own this property or if you are not a residential tenant. If the foreclosure goes through, the business or individual who buys this property at the foreclosure sale has the right to require you to move out. The buyer must first give you an eviction notice in writing that specifies the date by which you must move out. The buyer may not give you this notice until after the foreclosure sale happens. If you do not leave before the move-out date, the buyer can have the sheriff remove you from the property after a court hearing. You will receive notice of the court hearing. FEDERAL LAW REQUIRES YOU TO BE NOTIFIED IF YOU ARE OCCUPYING AND RENTING THIS PROPERTY AS A RESIDENTIAL DWELLING UNDER A LEGITIMATE RENTAL AGREEMENT, FEDERAL LAW REQUIRES THE BUYER TO GIVE YOU NOTICE IN WRITING A CERTAIN NUMBER OF DAYS BEFORE THE BUYER CAN REQUIRE YOU TO MOVE OUT. THE FEDERAL LAW THAT REQUIRES THE BUYER TO GIVE YOU THIS NOTICE IS EFFECTIVE UNTIL DECEMBER 31, 2012. Under federal law, the buyer must give you at least 90 days notice in writing before requiring you to move out. If you are renting this property under a fixed-term lease (for example, a six-month or one-year lease), you may stay until the end of your lease term. If the buyer wants to move in and use this property as the buyer's primary residence, the buyer can give you written notice and require you to move out after 90 days, even if you have a fixed-term lease with more than 90 days left. STATE LAW NOTIFICATION REQUIREMENTS: IF THE FEDERAL LAW DOES NOT APPLY, STATE LAW STILL REQUIRES THE BUYER TO GIVE YOU NOTICE IN WRITING BEFORE REQUIRING YOU TO MOVE OUT IF YOU ARE OCCUPYING AND RENTING THE PROPERTY AS A TENANT IN GOOD FAITH. EVEN IF THE FEDERAL LAW REQUIREMENT IS NO LONGER EFFECTIVE AFTER DECEMBER 31, 2012, THE REQUIREMENT UNDER STATE LAW STILL APPLIES TO YOUR SITUATION. Under state law, if you have a fixed-term lease (for example, a six-month or one-year lease), the buyer must give you at least 60 days notice in writing before requiring you to move out. If the buyer wants to move in and use this property as the buyer's primary residence, the buyer can give you written notice and require you to move out after 30 days, even if you have a fixed-term lease with more than 30 days left. If you are renting under a month-to-month or week-to-week rental agreement, the buyer must give you at least 30 days notice in writing before requiring you to move out. IMPORTANT: For the buyer to be required to give you notice under state law, you must prove to the business or individual who is handling the foreclosure sale that you are occupying and renting this property as a residential dwelling under a legitimate rental agreement. The name and address of the business or individual who is handling the foreclosure sale is shown on this notice under the heading "TRUSTEE". You must mail or deliver your proof not later than 10/31/2011 (30 days before the date first set for the foreclosure sale). Your proof must be in writing and should be a copy of your rental agreement or lease. If you do not have a written rental agreement or lease, you can provide other proof, such as receipts for rent you paid. ABOUT YOUR SECURITY DEPOSIT Under state law, you may apply your security deposit and any rent you paid in advance against the current rent you owe your landlord. To do this, you must notify your landlord in writing that you want to subtract the amount of your security deposit or prepaid rent from you rent payment. You may do this only for the rent you owe you current landlord. If you do this, you must do so before the foreclosure sale. The business or individual who buys this property at the foreclosure sale is not responsible to you for any deposit or prepaid rent you paid to your landlord. ABOUT YOUR TENANCY AFTER THE FORECLOSURE SALE The business or individual who buys this property at the foreclosure sale may be willing to allow you to stay as a tenant instead of requiring you to move out. You should contact the buyer to discuss that possibility if you would like to stay. Under state law, if the buyer accepts rent from you, signs a new residential rental agreement with you or does not notify you in writing within 30 days after the date of the foreclosure sale that you must move out, the buyer becomes your new landlord and must maintain the property. Otherwise, the buyer is not your landlord and is not responsible for maintaining the property on your behalf and you must move out by the date the buyer specifies in a notice to you. YOU SHOULD CONTINUE TO PAY RENT TO YOUR LANDLORD UNTIL THE PROPERTY IS SOLD TO ANOTHER BUSINESS OR INDIVIDUAL OR UNTIL A COURT OR A LENDER TELLS YOU OTHERWISE. IF YOU DO NOT PAY RENT, YOU CAN BE EVICTED. AS EXPLAINED ABOVE, YOU MAY BE ABLE TO APPLY A DEPOSIT YOU MADE OR PREPAID RENT YOU PAID AGAINST YOUR CURRENT RENT OBLIGATION. BE SURE TO KEEP PROOF OF ANY PAYMENTS YOU MAKE AND OF ANY NOTICE YOU GIVE OR RECEIVE CONCERNING THE APPLICATION OF YOUR DEPOSIT OR YOUR PREPAID RENT. IT IS UNLAWFUL FOR ANY PERSON TO TRY TO FORCE YOU TO LEAVE YOUR HOME WITHOUT FIRST GOING TO COURT TO EVICT YOU. FOR MORE INFORMATION ABOUT YOUR RIGHTS, YOU MAY WISH TO CONSULT A LAWYER. If you believe you need legal assistance, contact the Oregon State Bar at 800-452-7636 and ask for lawyer referral service. Contact information for the Oregon State Bar is included with this notice. If you do not have enough money to pay a lawyer and are otherwise eligible, you may be able to receive legal assistance for free.
