Desperate to save clan, Syria’s Assad resolved not to flee, yield

By Marc Fisher The Washington Post

More than a decade before the Arab Spring, there was the Damascus Spring.

In the first months after Bashar Assad took over Syria in 2000, a wave of free expression broke out after he sent signals that were interpreted to mean that he planned to relax his father’s autocratic control. Dissidents formed 70 dialogue clubs, met openly and published two critical opinion Inside magazines.

• U.N. holds Then, as sudobservers denly as the new back, A3 era had begun, Assad’s forces cracked down.

Those who spoke out were arrested, and economic reforms stalled.

“We saw that the Spring was only a way to have the people accept the transfer of power from the father to the son,” said Mohammad al-Abdallah, a Syrian activist who took part in the dialogue, only to find himself and his father and brother arrested months later. “It was clear Assad was no reformer.”

Today, as Assad’s government responds with unrelenting force to a popular uprising of the sort that has brought down regimes across the Middle East over the past 18 months, Syria’s ruler has embraced his image as a global pariah. He will not flee and will not bend to foreign pressure, he has said publicly and privately.

Potential Heart-transplant police cuts cause holding pattern concern • 11-year-old Gabriel Lawson of Bend awaits a new heart in California, where he is confined to a hospital

• Reductions – some drastic – are forecast if calls rise and money is tight

By Hillary Borrud The Bulletin

Local law enforcement officials are worried about the Bend Police Department’s plan to stop investigating certain crimes due to budget shortfalls and a projected rise in calls.

Some of the proposed cutbacks would be drastic. Depending upon the department’s workload, detectives could stop investigating all property crimes and thefts of property worth less than $100,000 this year, unless the incident is part of a series of crimes or the victim is over 65 years old. By 2016, detectives could stop investigating sex abuse or rape, unless the victim is a child younger than 14 years old or someone with a disability or over the age of 65.

The plan, which was requested by the Bend City Council, caught other local law enforcement officials by surprise last month. At a meeting of public safety officials in May, Deschutes County District Attorney Patrick Flaherty called the plan a “doomsday approach,” according to minutes.

City officials said concerns were overblown, due to miscommunication and misinterpretation of the plan.

“I think it was a little misinterpreted that these were things that were definitely going to happen and that’s not the case,” said City Councilor Jim Clinton.

Crime in Bend The Bend Police Department recently presented a plan to reduce services in future years if calls for service and crime levels increase. The department would need to increase its budget by $200,000 to $300,000 annually in order to keep up with projected call and crime levels, Chief Jeff Sale told the City Council in May. Violent crimes and property crimes declined for years in Bend, then increased sharply in 2010 and declined in 2011. Bend Police Department is projecting an average annual increase of 13 percent in the future.

Gabriel Lawson has been at the Lucile Packard Children’s Hospital in Palo Alto, Calif., for more than a month, awaiting a heart transplant.

By Rachel L. Swarns New York Times News Service

REX, Ga. — Joan Tribble held tightly to her cane as she ventured into the cemetery where her people were buried.

There lay the pioneers who once populated Georgia’s rugged frontier, where striving white men planted corn and cotton, fought for the Confederacy and owned slaves.

The settlers interred here were mostly forgotten over the decades as their progeny scattered across the South, embracing unassuming lives.

But one line of her family took another path, heading north on a tumultuous, winding journey that ultimately led to the White House.

The white men and women buried here are the forebears of Tribble, a retired bookkeeper who delights in her two grandchildren and her Sunday church mornings. They are also ancestors of Michelle Obama, the first lady.

At a time when most kids his age are enjoying the freedom of summer vacation, Gabriel Lawson just wants to get out of the hospital.

The 11-year-old Bend boy has been stuck at the Lucile Packard Children’s Hospital on the campus of Stanford University in Palo Alto, Calif., for more than a month waiting for a new heart. A combination of congenital heart defects has left his heart muscle significantly weakened and prone to abnormal rhythms.

Normally, heart transplant patients are asked to stay in the general vicinity of the hospital in case a heart becomes available.

But Gabriel’s heart is no

longer responding to an implanted defibrillator that is supposed to shock it back to normal. His doctors fear that if he has another occurrence of the irregular heartbeat outside of the hospital, the heart may not resume a normal rhythm and he could die.

That has left Gabriel confined to the hospital, where he spends his days reading, playing computer games and walking the halls he has come to know all too well.

Asked what he would most like to do if he got a new heart, Gabriel responded, “Just to be out of the hospital.”

For now, the Lawson family is in a holding pattern, waiting for news that the right-size heart in Gabriel’s

blood type is available. Doctors have told them the average waiting time for children needing a transplant is about three to four months, and Gabriel is nearly halfway through that period.

“That’s the million-dollar question,” his father, Seth Lawson, said. “It could be tonight or it could be a year from now. It’s just really hard to say.”

Lawson has been on short-term leave from work so he and the rest of the family — including his wife, Melanie, and two other sons, Zane, 15, and Connor, 2 — can be at the hospital. He is also considering whether to request a transfer within his company to a branch in the Palo Alto area.

FATHER’S DAY

STOP, START OR MISS YOUR PAPER?

NEW YORK — Hey, Mr. Mom. What’s up, Workaholic?

Whether they say it out loud or acknowledge it at all, that work-home divide traditionally reserved for the Mommy Wars can also rear between dads who go off to the office every day and the kind in the trenches with the kids.

There are bound to be rifts, given the growing league of dads staying home at least parttime. But do the paths of work dads and home dads intertwine enough to make them care quite so deeply as the ladies? How exactly are they perceived, not by researchers or journalists, but by each other?

“To be a stay-at-home dad requires a lot of confidence in who you are,” said Paxton Helms, 41, in Washington, D.C. He became one about four years ago, when his daughter was 3 months old. A son followed and he now takes parttime contracts as an international development consultant, with flexible hours. His wife also works part-time.

“The strangest thing that ever happened to me as a (stayat-home dad) was riding on the Metro with both my kids and a guy asking me, ‘So where’s Mom?’ I couldn’t even think why in the world somebody would be asking me that question, so I couldn’t even muster an answer,” he said.

Other at-home dads worry about jealousy from working brethren (What are they really thinking about all that time spent with the women?).

Or suspicion that they’re out of work. And dads on both sides of the divide report the occasional cold shoulder.

“It seems that they try to avoid me or don’t want to talk about what life is like for them,” said dad-of-one Donald DeLong, 55, a Bloomfield Township, Mich., attorney who acknowledges a “deeply rooted need to work and ‘earn a living.’ ” “When I do talk to them, the topics stay guy-safe. That is, sports, cars. After all we’re both still guys. We don’t talk about that sensitive touchyfeely stuff.”

Other at-home dads, those by choice or pushed out of the job market, said they’ve endured some snark, but they consider it more of a dad-on-dad discomfort than a serious divide.

Martin Weckerlein, 33, is among them. He simply doesn’t have the time to care. He was a tank commander in the Germany military, then a bank worker for six years before he gave it up to be an at-home for his three kids, ages 8, 3 and 9 months. The family lives in suburban Washington, D.C., where his wife has a government job.

“When I’m with other dads who are my age, whether they work or stay at home, they tend to be pretty accepting and even curious as to how that works that we can afford me staying home, what I do during the day with the kids, and they say it must be nice to have that time,” he said.

“When I am talking with men who aren’t fathers or who are older, their questions usu-

ally focus on what my career goals are after I am done being home with my kids. They seem to assume this is only a temporary thing for our family, a pause in my career for a few years, instead of an investment in our family,” Weckerlein explained.

The stereotypes Yes, Mr. Mom comes up, the newest iteration in the shape of Chris Rock and his goofy band of dads with infants strapped to their chests in the movie “What to Expect When You’re Expecting.”

It’s been nearly 30 years since Michael Keaton was that guy on screen, setting the kitchen on fire and making his kids miserable in “Mr. Mom,” but the lingering moniker feels more like yesterday for Weckerlein and other at-home dads.

“I hate that phrase, Mr. Mom. I can’t imagine my wife going into the office and saying, ‘Hi everyone, it’s Mrs. Dad,’ ” said Dan Zevin, a humorist, at-home dad to two and author of a new book, “Dan Gets a Minivan: Life at the Intersection of Dude and Dad.” In Boston, 32-year-old Nolan Kido is no stereotype. He’s the exhausted at-home dad of an 11-week-old daughter as his wife completes her dental education. He deferred work on his doctoral degree in accounting after doing some recession-era math: his earning power versus her earning power in the face of more than $360,000 in student loans.

“At the very beginning they were a little weirded out, like what do we talk about, what’s the common themes, but now the impression that I get more is actually jealousy,” he said of his working dad friends. “It’s not, like, mean kinds of things but just, ‘Oh, I wish I could stay home’ or ‘Oh, I’d love to go to that park.’ ” The number of at-home dads who are primary caregivers for their children reached nearly 2 million in 2010, or one in 15 fathers, according to one estimate. Al Watts, president of the National At-Home Dad Network, believes a more accurate count is about 7 million, using broader definitions that include part-time workers. That amounts to one-third of married fathers in the U.S. Watts, in Omaha, has been home with kids for a decade, since the oldest of his four was a baby. He sees a subtle shift in attitudes emanating from working dads.

“Eight years ago, one of my wife’s customers, when he found out that I was an at-home dad he said, ‘Oh you know, I’d really love to do that.’ I knew what he really meant was that he assumed he could then just hang out at home and play video games and watch TV and not have to go to work anymore,” Watts said.

“Now when I have those conversations, they’re generally like, ‘You know, I really wish I could do that. But then they find out I have four kids and they’re like, ‘Well, I couldn’t do that!’ ”

RALEIGH, N.C. — Adding a twist to blue laws in an increasingly red state, North Carolina’s Republican-led legislature is toasting a measure intended to keep the booze flowing at the Democratic National Convention.

President Barack Obama and other Democratic Party headliners are set to be in Charlotte for the nominating soiree held every four years, which kicks off with a Labor Day party at a stock car track. The state’s government-run liquor stores are closed Sundays and for the Monday holiday, presenting a potential problem for bars, restaurants and hotels needing to replenish depleted alcohol stocks.

The convention is expected to draw tens of thousands of people who will spend millions on food and libations.

To the rescue is a bipartisan group of lawmakers in Raleigh sponsoring a bill to keep the Alcoholic Beverage Control stores in Mecklenburg County, which includes Charlotte, open for Labor Day 2012.

Co-sponsored by Republicans and Democrats from the Charlotte area, the measure flowed through the state House last week on a voice vote and is awaiting approval in the Senate.

Rep. Bill Brawley, a Mecklenburg Republican, said helping Charlotte be fully prepared to quench the thirsts of the arriving politicos and media horde is just good manners.

“The political party of the people attending is not material,” said Brawley, one of the bill’s primary sponsors. “Our state will treat them the way we would want our own people to be treated when they visit other states.”

Democratic Gov. Beverly Perdue, who has frequently clashed with the Republicans who took control of the General Assembly two years ago, said she would sign the bill into law.

IN HISTORY Highlights: In 1775, the Revolutionary War Battle of Bunker Hill resulted in a costly victory for the British, who suffered heavy losses. In 1885, the Statue of Liberty arrived in New York Harbor aboard the French ship Isere. In 1961, Soviet ballet dancer Rudolf Nureyev defected to the West while his troupe was in Paris.

In 1972, President Richard M. Nixon’s eventual downfall began with the arrest of five burglars inside Democratic national headquarters in Washington, D.C.’s Watergate complex.

Ten years ago: A judge in San Francisco tossed out the second-degree murder conviction of Marjorie Knoller for the dog-mauling death of neighbor Diane Whipple, but let stand Knoller’s conviction for involuntary manslaughter.

(However, Knoller’s murder conviction was reinstated in 2008.)

Five years ago: Thirty-five people were killed in the bombing of a police academy bus in Kabul, Afghanistan; the Taliban claimed responsibility.

One year ago: The United Nations endorsed the rights of gay, lesbian and transgender people for the first time ever, passing a resolution hailed as historic by the U.S. and other backers and decried by some African and Muslim countries.

A Saudi woman defiantly drove through Riyadh while others brazenly cruised by police patrols in the first forays of a challenge to Saudi Arabia’s male-only driving rules.

T S U.N. suspends observers in Syria

In Greece, fears that voting won’t resolve ongoing turmoil

By Rachel Donadio and Steven Erlanger New York Times News Service

By Patrick J. McDonnell Los Angeles Times

BEIRUT — The United Nations’ decision to suspend its observer mission in Syria could increase pressure on Syrian President Bashar Assad to comply with a faltering U.N. peace plan that many view as a last chance to avoid all-out civil war in the strife-torn Middle Eastern nation.

But the observer pullback announced Saturday could also put pressure on Russia, whose alliance with Assad has led to increasing tension with Washington. Moscow helped craft the peace initiative and is determined to keep it alive, knowing that its failure could accelerate demands for harsher international action.

The U.N. cited escalating violence in its decision to suspend the monitoring mission, a crucial component of special U.N. envoy Kofi Annan’s plan.

The suspension of the observer mission — and the possibility that Annan’s entire effort may be on the verge of collapse — may also be a blunt message to Assad, who Annan has said has the “first responsibility” to implement the peace process.

Few independent Syriawatchers believe that Assad could withdraw his troops and armor from populated areas and allow nonviolent protests, both mandates in the peace plan, and still hold on to power in the deeply divided nation of 23 million.

Egyptian men line up Saturday outside a polling station in Cairo. Egyptians began two days of voting on Saturday, a day after military rulers moved to consolidate power by shutting down the Parliament and seizing the sole right to issue laws.

Egyptians vote under a cloud of uncertainty

By Ernesto Londono The Washington Post

CAIRO — Egyptians expressed wariness Saturday as they lined up in sweltering heat to vote in the runoff election for a replacement for ousted autocrat Hosni Mubarak.

In sharp contrast to recent elections, the mood in Cairo and across the country was largely tense as Egyptians contemplated the polarizing choice between Mohamed Morsi, a conservative Islamist, and Ahmed Shafiq, who was Mubarak’s last prime minister.

With the country’s lower house of parliament dissolved,

the constitution suspended and the revolution pronounced all but dead, the outcome of the presidential vote that continues today could not be more consequential.

“This is a decisive moment, but nobody feels confident about anything,” said Samia, 45, a Shafiq supporter who asked to be identified by her first name because of her government job. “It’s like rolling the dice and hoping for the best.”

The runoff began two days after a court ruling led to the dissolution of the lower house of Egypt’s Islamist-dominated parliament, a move that activ-

Unmanned Air Force space plane lands in California after 15 months

By Alicia Chang The Associated Press

LOS ANGELES — An unmanned Air Force space plane steered itself to a landing early Saturday at a California military base, capping a 15-month clandestine mission.

The spacecraft, which was launched from Cape Canaveral Air Force Station in Florida in March 2011, conducted in-orbit experiments during the mission, officials said. It was the second such autonomous landing at the Vandenberg Air Force Base, 130 miles northwest of Los Angeles.

In 2010, an identical unmanned spacecraft returned to Earth after seven months and 91 million miles in orbit.

The latest homecoming was set in motion when the stubbywinged robotic X-37B fired its

engine to slip out of orbit, then pierced through the atmosphere and glided down the runway like an airplane.

“With the retirement of the Space Shuttle fleet, the X-37B OTV program brings a singular capability to space technology development,” said Lt. Col. Tom McIntyre, the X-37B’s program manager. “The return capability allows the Air Force to test new technologies without the same risk commitment faced by other programs. We’re proud of the entire team’s successful efforts to bring this mission to an outstanding conclusion.”

With the second X-37B on the ground, the Air Force planned to launch the first one again in the fall. An exact date has not been set.

The twin X-37B vehicles

are part of a military program testing robotically controlled reusable spacecraft technologies. Though the Air Force has emphasized the goal is to test the space plane itself, there’s a classified payload on board — a detail that has led to much speculation about the mission’s ultimate purpose.

Some amateur trackers think the craft carried an experimental spy satellite sensor judging by its low orbit and inclination, suggesting reconnaissance or intelligence gathering rather than communications.

Harvard astrophysicist Jonathan McDowell, who runs Jonathan’s Space Report, which tracks the world’s space launches and satellites, said it’s possible it was testing some form of new imaging.

ists and some leading political figures described as a soft military coup. A small movement of boycotters urged voters to spoil their ballots in what they saw as an illegitimate election under military rule.

The once-repressed Muslim Brotherhood has thrived since the revolt that overthrew Mubarak. The group dominated the parliament and took a sizable share of the seats in a body tasked with writing a new constitution.

After the dissolution of the lower house of parliament this week, though, the military junta assumed all legislative powers.

ATHENS, Greece — Greeks head to the polls today for the second time in two months with a pervasive sense of dread that any government that comes to power will fail to resolve the political and economic turmoil that threatens the country’s future — and the financial stability of Europe itself.

Even if the establishment center-right party New Democracy ekes out a victory in a race that polls show as tight, Greece faces weeks or months of negotiations with European lenders over the terms of its austerity program, which all parties agree are too onerous to enforce on its rapidly shrinking economy.

A victory by the leftist party Syriza promises a more serious confrontation, especially with Germany, over how — and perhaps whether — to keep Greece in the eurozone.

The winner will also face an uphill battle to inject confidence into a paralyzed economy that depends heavily on the continued infusion of money by the European Central Bank. The bank, based in Frankfurt, Germany, has become the last lifeline for a financial system that has all but seized up and a deficit-ridden government that has little ability to raise new revenues or borrow money to continue its operations.

On Monday, as Greece tries to determine whether it has a viable new government, leaders of the G-20 group of developed and emerging economies will gather in Mexico, where they are expected to debate ways to keep the Greek crisis and the weakness of the bigger economies of Spain and Italy from undermining the euro and dragging the global economy into a new recession.

Central bankers from Tokyo to Washington have already pledged to intervene in financial markets if necessary to shore up those economies, but the Greek drama nonetheless threatens to keep investors on edge for weeks to come.

“I would be very surprised if — ta-da! — everything is clear,” said Peter Westaway, chief economist for Europe at Vanguard Asset Management. “We could be in for a protracted period of uncertainty, which would not be helpful, either.”

If, as in the May elections, there is no clear winner, political leaders have said they are committed to forming a government no matter what. In any event, the new government will have to open new talks with the big European powers and press for a more generous bailout.

“They will be sitting around the table with each other, and then some compromises can be struck,” Westaway said.

THE BULLETIN • SUNDAY, JUNE 17, 2012

2 Japanese reactors are ordered restarted New York Times News Service TOKYO — Brushing aside widespread public opposition to avoid electric power shortages, Prime Minister Yoshihiko Noda ordered the reactivation of two nuclear reactors at a plant in western Japan on Saturday, making it the nation’s first plant to go back online since the crisis last year in Fukushima.

The decision to restart the Ohi nuclear plant ends the temporary freeze of Japan’s nuclear power industry, when all 50 of the country’s functional reactors were idled after the triple meltdown at the Fukushima Daiichi plant.

Despite Noda’s vows to strengthen the Ohi plant against the same sort of earthquake and tsunami that knocked out the Fukushima plant in March 2011, the Japanese people have remained deeply divided on the safety of nuclear power.

Even after the prime minister made an appeal on June 8 on national television, opinion polls showed that more Japanese opposed restarting the Ohi plant than supported it.

Noda urged the nation to return to nuclear power to avoid electricity shortages that could cause blackouts and cripple industry at a time of rising competition with China and the rest of Asia.

Saturday’s decision was seen here as a victory for the still-powerful nuclear industry and its backers in the business world, whose political support has been crucial to the otherwise unpopular Noda. It remains to be seen how the broader public will react to the restart order.

Continued from A1 Gabriel’s heart troubles started in 2008, when he started experiencing seizures. Multiple trips to the emergency room couldn’t identify the source of the trouble. Eventually, his father insisted the boy be admitted to the hospital to determine the cause of the problem. A battery of tests finally identified the heart defect.

“It was a parent’s intuition kind of thing,” Lawson said.

“Something is not right.”

Gabriel was flown to Mary Bridge Children’s Hospital in Tacoma, Wash., where doctors put in an implantable cardioverter defibrillator, commonly called an ICD. The defibrillator senses when the heart is not beating normally and can shock it back into a normal rhythm.

The doctors told the Lawsons their son had a condition known as hypertrophic cardiomyopathy, a thickening of the heart walls.

“Although this is a relatively common disorder, Gabe has an unusually complicated form of it,” said Dr. Urszula Tajchman, a pediatric cardiologist in Bend.

Most patients with the disorder, she said, are identified when they’re much older, usually when symptoms occur.

Although for many, sudden death is the first sign anything is wrong, Tajchman said.

It’s one of the conditions Tajchman checks for in annual heart screenings of high school students throughout Central Oregon.

Covering the cost To donate funds for Gabriel Lawson’s medical care, visit sites.google.com/site/ gabesheart/.

Gabriel’s seizures, which were the result of potentially lethal arrhythmia, helped to diagnose his troubles early.

“Although arrhythmias are common in hypertrophic cardiomyopathy, it is less common to have these malignant arrhythmias so frequently at such a young age,” Tajchman said.

Gabriel’s heart is also stiffer than normal, and when his heart rate goes up, his heart muscle doesn’t get enough oxygen.

That makes it even more likely for him to develop arrhythmias.

Pediatric transplants If Gabriel gets a new heart, he will likely be only the second child in Central Oregon to get a new heart in the past decade.

Tajchman said a teenage patient of hers received a transplant about six to seven years ago, and earlier this year, a local 3-yearold girl died while waiting for a transplant.

“Success rates of heart transplants are pretty good,” said Dr. Daniel Bernstein, a cardiologist on Gabriel’s transplant team.

“They’re dramatically better than they were 20 or 30 years ago, and here at Packard Children’s our survival rate is somewhat above that of the national average.”

If Gabriel does get a heart

transplant, he has a 90 percent chance of being alive in five years, and an 85 percent change of being alive in 10 years, Bernstein said.

“The chance of him being alive 20 years from now is a little harder to predict, because there weren’t as many transplants (done 20 years ago). It was still a little more experimental.”

There are people who have lived longer than 30 years past pediatric transplant, he said. “We just don’t know what percentage of patients who are transplanted today will get 30 or more years out of their hearts.”

After the transplant, Gabriel’s biggest concern will be the risk of organ rejection. To prevent rejection, he will have to take drugs that weaken his immune system, and those come with certain limitations and side effects.

“Hearts are a little more at risk (for rejection) than kidneys,” Bernstein said. “The risk is highest in the first three to six months.”

Doctors at Packard perform about 14 to 17 pediatric heart transplants each year. Nationally, 350 kids get new hearts each year, compared with 3,500 adults. Demand for pediatric hearts is lower, but so is the supply.

Bernstein said cases like Gabriel’s underscore the need for people to be organ donors.

“Just increasing the awareness of organ donation is really critical because without the organ donation, he can’t survive,” he said.

To be viable for transplant, a

heart must be received by Packard Children’s within four to seven hours after it is harvested.

That limits the region from which Gabriel’s new heart can come.

Life in the hospital Gabriel said the notion of getting a new heart is still a little weird to him.

“It seems unnatural,” he said.

He is hoping a new heart will let him run and be more active. Any sort of physical activity leaves him out of breath. He hasn’t had the energy to attend school since November. He had a tutor for a while at home and attended school at a classroom within the hospital until the start of the summer break.

“There’s actually like 21 kids that need different types of transplants, like lungs or kidneys,” Gabriel said. He sees many of them as he walks the halls of the hospital or spends time in a common playroom.

But he said he misses his friends at home.

Gabriel must wear a mask if he ventures out of the safety of his germ-filtering room.

“It muffles my voice a little bit,” he said.

Doctors have stabilized Gabriel with medications that keep his heart rhythms steady.

Bernstein said there’s no artificial limit on how long they can keep Gabriel stable while they wait for a heart.

“He is at risk for having one of these events at any time, and even though he’s in the hospital, it’s possible he may not survive

that. Of course, keeping him in the hospital would give him the best odds of surviving it,” he said. “The bigger issue for him and his family is how long they can withstand the psychological stress of being in the hospital.”

The ongoing saga is also taking a toll on the family’s finances. The family has insurance coverage through Lawson’s job with Coca-Cola. But the copays and deductibles combined with the uncovered costs associated with care — including the $25,000 cost of a 90-minute medical flight — have left the family in significant debt.

The Lawsons have fallen into the gap that commonly affects middle-class families with a very sick child. They don’t make enough to comfortably cover the costs of care, but they make too much to qualify for many of the assistance programs available to the indigent or uninsured.

“I’m not dirt poor. We’re lower middle class, like 85 percent of America,” Lawson said. “We don’t qualify for any of these different kinds of programs, but I don’t make enough to cover all the expenses even though I have really good insurance. It’s a real conundrum.”

Gabriel has been sponsored by the Redmond High School Sparrow Club, which has been raising funds to help pay for his care.

Nonetheless, the family is facing the possibility of being more than six figures in the hole.

“Not yet,” Lawson said, “but we’re working on it.”

CAR BOMBINGS

26 die on last day of Iraq pilgrimage

By Kay Johnson and Sinan Salaheddin The Associated Press

Dean Guernsey / The Bulletin

Bend police officers respond to a robbery at a US Bank branch on Third Street on June 8. The Bend Police Department presented a plan last month to scale back investigations and certain other work, in response to budget cuts and projected increases in calls for service. The plan raised concerns from officials at other local public safety agencies.

Police Continued from A1 “They’re only going to happen if the serious (crime) increases a lot and we’re not able to provide more resources to the police,” Clinton said.

Meanwhile, it’s unclear whether crime will rise over the next five years as police projected. Bend’s rate of violent and property crime was on the decline for years, until a spike in certain crimes in 2010.

The service reduction plan prioritizes various types of work when police are busy, Chief of Police Jeff Sale told the City Council in early May. It doesn’t guarantee that lower-priority incidents will go ignored, Sale said.

Sale said what would be handled one day may not the next day if there are more serious crimes. “Those priorities are going to shift all the time,” he said.

The plan is to keep as many patrol officers as possible on the streets, and they will continue responding to serious crimes and writing reports.

There just might not be a detective available to follow up.

Mayor Jeff Eager said the city has been budgeting conservatively, and the police department’s plan is based on these figures. If the city continues to receive more property tax revenue than anticipated, as it did this year, that could prevent some of the cuts to police services.

“There’s a lot of stuff that could change between now and 2016 that could prevent those service reductions at that time,” Eager said on Friday.

Clinton said the reduction plan is based on a worst-case scenario in which the police budget would remain essentially flat, increasing only 2 percent a year, and calls for service would continue to increase 7 percent to 9 percent a year.

As Bend has grown into a

city, residents have continued to expect a small-town level of attention to minor crimes, Clinton said.

“Traditionally, people have thought of this as a town of 25,000 people where the police didn’t have so much serious crime to deal with so they could engage in a lot of things that small towns traditionally do, but big towns don’t, such as a stolen bicycle or somebody ripped off a chair from my porch,” Clinton said.

Crime rate fluctuates Violent crimes and property crimes declined for years in Bend, with a 26 percent drop from 2003 to 2010, according to an analysis of FBI reports.

However, while property crimes remained low in 2010, the number of aggravated assaults increased from 117 in 2009 to 197 in 2010. That is the latest data available from the bureau.

Statistics collected by the Bend Police Department also show an increase in violent crimes and property crimes in 2010 — 35 percent — and then an 8 percent decrease in these crimes in 2011. Bend’s statistics are reported differently from the FBI’s numbers, so they are not comparable.

Despite the general decline in violent and property crimes, the number of calls for police service has continued to increase, according to police data.

“The last few years, there’s been a fairly steady increase in call volume, which is kind of weird because our population hasn’t been going up,” Eager said.

Officials call for collaboration Public safety officials said their main concern was that Bend police did not bring the plan to their attention until recently. It’s important to work together in case some cuts can be avoided, Flaherty said.

“All the governmental enti-

Suspect in deadly robbery in Canada arrested at border The Associated Press EDMONTON, Alberta — The man wanted in a deadly armored car heist at a university in western Canada that left three armed guards dead was arrested at gunpoint by U.S. border officials in Washington state, police said Saturday.

Edmonton police Supt. Bob Hassel said in a news release that Travis Baumgartner was stopped near a border crossing in Lynden, Washington, southwest of Abbotsford, British Columbia. Officials said Baumgartner was in his pickup truck and was alone.

Police said a sum of money was found in the truck when Baumgartner was arrested.

Police had earlier called it a “significant” sum.

Baumgartner, 21, had been on the run since Friday when four armed guards were gunned down, three of them fatally. He faces three counts of first-degree murder and one count of attempted murder.

Baumgartner was the fifth member of a G4S Cash Solutions crew that was reloading bank machines at a University

of Alberta mall and residence where the shooting happened, police said. The armored truck was found abandoned but running not far from the security company’s offices. Dead at the scene were Michelle Shegelski, 26; Eddie Rejano, 39; and Brian Ilesic, 35.

“We’re grateful to the border officials at Lynden, Washington, for their excellent work in arresting a man we believe was armed and extremely dangerous,” Hassel said in a statement. Canadian police officials were on their way to the U.S. to bring Baumgartner back to Edmonton.

Employees at the nearby duty-free shop in Lynden said they watched part of the arrest from their front window.

A worker who would only give her first name, Adrienne, said she saw two border patrol vehicles with lights flashing and officers standing outside with their guns drawn.

She said she didn’t hear any shots fired.

“It’s pretty scary,” she said. “Luckily nothing here happened.”

ties need to work cooperatively together to resolve the city’s budgetary crisis so Bend PD will continue to investigate aggravated theft cases,” Flaherty said.

Deschutes County Circuit Court Judge Michael Sullivan said he has lots of questions about how cuts at the Bend Police Department might displace work onto other public safety agencies, and all the agencies need to work together to minimize the impact.

However, he acknowledged there are limits to what this can accomplish when all government agencies are undergoing cuts.

“There will be certain things we’ve done in the past we won’t be able to in the future,” Sullivan said.

The Sheriff’s Office, the District Attorney’s Office and the Oregon State Police will have to decide how to respond if crime victims ask them to look into incidents that Bend police have stopped investigating.

A burglary ring, for example, might operate inside Bend as

well as unincorporated areas of the county, Sullivan said.

“If the city doesn’t cover those, since the sheriff has had their fair share of cuts as well, what do they not do in the future, so they can have those cross-jurisdictional investigations that need to get done?”

Sullivan said.

It could tarnish the community’s image and have a drastic effect on victims if police stop investigating serious personto-person crimes such as sex abuse of children ages 14 and older, Sullivan said.

“I would certainly hope that with diminished resources, we would always look at personto-person crimes involving children as a top priority,” Sullivan said.

BAGHDAD — Two car bombs in Iraq’s capital killed at least 26 people Saturday on the last day of a Shiite pilgrimage already hit by multiple bombings.

The blasts, one in a heavily guarded area close to a revered shrine, raised the week’s death toll to more than 100 and cast further doubt on the divided government’s ability to secure the country after the American withdrawal.

Black plumes of smoke filled the sky over Baghdad’s northern Kazimiyah neighborhood, where the shrine to eighth-century saint Imam Moussa alKadhim draws hundreds of thousands of pilgrims each year. One of the bombs tore into throngs of people who packed the streets nearby, carrying aloft symbolic coffins and beating their chests in mourning to mark his martyrdom.

Three days before, nearly two dozen coordinated bombs around the country killed 72 people. Al-Qaida’s Iraqi affiliate on Saturday claimed responsibility for that attack, which marked one of the deadliest days in Iraq since the last U.S. troops left in December.

The fierce wave of bombings targeting Shiites suggests that the al-Qaida-allied Sunni militants are

stepping up their periodic attacks — which recently have come every few weeks — to try to exploit sectarian cracks in the elected government of Prime Minister Nouri al-Maliki and possibly spark another round of the bloodshed between Sunni and Shiite Muslims that brought Iraq to the brink of civil war only a few years ago. Shiite religious commemorations are frequent targets of these attacks, although overall levels of violence are still down considerably from then.

The sheer number of blasts during the al-Kadhim pilgrimage shows the ability of alQaida to retain and perhaps rebuild its bombings networks despite heavy blows struck to the organization by U.S. forces and allied Sunni militias prior to the American withdrawal.

The bombers’ ability to penetrate so close to the shrine indicates the challenges faced by Iraq’s security forces in securing huge religious gatherings.

“Those behind the attacks, they’ve become more determined now and see more of an opportunity because of the dysfunctional political process,” said Salman Shaikh, director of the Brookings Doha Center and an analyst on regional politics.

13 inmates killed in Turkish prison fire The Associated Press ANKARA, Turkey — Inmates in a prison in southeast Turkey set beds and blankets alight, starting a fire that killed 13 prisoners, Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan and other officials said early today.

Erdogan said the fire affected a ward housing 18 inmates in the prison in the mainly Kurdish city of San-

liurfa. He said some inmates set their bedding on fire following a fight that broke out inside the ward late Saturday.

It was not immediately clear if the victims had died of burns or from asphyxiation.

Erdogan said five other inmates were hospitalized for smoke inhalation. None was in serious condition.

A pro-Kurdish legislator,

imprisoned for alleged links to an outlawed Kurdish rebel group, was staying in a separate ward and was not affected by the fire, the region’s governor, Celalettin Guvenc told reporters.

Guvenc said authorities had launched an investigation into the incident, including into possible delays by authorities or firefighters in responding to the fire.

More fire crews battling destructive Colorado blaze

George, a hospital respiratory therapy manager, struggled to describe her reaction to the revelations. Her grandfather, McClellan Charles Shields, and Dolphus Shields were half brothers. They both lived in Birmingham, Ala., where George grew up.

“I’m appalled at slavery,” said George, 61. “I don’t know how that could have even gone on in a Christian nation. I know that times were different then. But the idea that one of our ancestors raped a slave. ...”

She trailed off for a moment, considering the awful possibility.

“I would like to know the answer, but I would not like to know that my great-grandfather was a rapist,” she said. “I would like to know in my brain that they were nice to her and her children. It would be easier to live with that.”

Tribble, who began researching her roots before Obama became the first lady, said she was shocked to learn that her ancestors owned slaves.

“My family, well, they were just your most basic people who never had a lot,” Tribble said. “I never imagined that they owned slaves.”

Her mother, Lottie Bell Shields, was an orphan who picked cotton as a girl and was passed from relative to relative in a family that could ill afford an extra mouth to feed.

She never got past the seventh grade.

Yet even before she took the DNA test, Tribble had a strong feeling that her family and the first lady’s family were related.

She still remembers the moment when she laid eyes on an old black-and-white photograph of Dolphus Shields. She was sitting at her kitchen table in her house in the Atlanta suburbs when she saw him staring out of the pages of The New York Times: This stern, bespectacled African-American man who happened to share her mother’s last name.

Tribble never had any doubts about her family’s ethnic background. Yet when she stared at the photograph that day, she said she felt something entirely unexpected: a strong stirring of recognition.

“I just thought, ‘Well, he looks like somebody who could be in my family,’ ” she said.

By Thomas Peipert The Associated Press

DENVER — Additional crews were joining the fight Saturday against a wildfire in northern Colorado that has scorched about 85 square miles and destroyed at least 181 homes, the most in state history.

The High Park Fire burning 15 miles west of Fort Collins surpasses the Fourmile Canyon wildfire, which destroyed 169 homes west of Boulder in September 2010.

More than 1,630 personnel are working on the Fort Collins-area fire, officials said in a news release Saturday night.

The figure represents an increase of more than 100 firefighters from a day earlier.

The lightning-caused blaze, which is believed to have killed a 62-yearold woman whose body was found in her cabin, was 20 percent contained.

The fire’s incident commander said full containment could be two to four weeks away.

Fire information officer Brett Haberstick said hot and dry conditions were expected to continue, but crews have made progress in containing a 200acre spot fire that erupted Thursday afternoon north of the Cache La Poudre River, a critical line of defense against northward growth.

“Two 20-person hotshot crews worked throughout the day to secure lines around the perimeter of this spot fire,” the officials said in a release.

Firefighters have extinguished other incursions north of the river, but the most recent one appeared to be more serious.

National Weather Service meteorologist Kyle Fredin said some rain was expected in the fire zone Saturday evening, but it will not be enough to put the fire out.

“We need a rain that will really last all day,” he said.

“But it’s better than dry wind at this point.”

But crews were bracing for difficult conditions today with wind gusts expected to hit 50 mph along ridge tops and in Poudre Canyon and temperatures in the 90s.

The fire was reported June 9 and has since raced through large swaths of private and U.S. Forest Service land.

It was 45 percent contained late Saturday.

40 years later, Watergate crime scene is an afterthought

Assad Continued from A1 In Assad’s mind, his presence and control are the only protection from mass killings for his Alawite clan — a Shiite sect that makes up about 12 percent of Syria’s population.

“He has no illusions about how he is perceived around the world,” said the Rev. Patrick Henry Reardon, pastor of All Saints Antiochian Orthodox Church in Chicago, who met with Assad for 90 minutes in December. “But he sees it as an almost metaphysical necessity that he must hold his country together and, to do so, he’s got to knock a few heads.”

When Assad took over Syria after the death of his father, longtime autocrat Hafez Assad, the new president was widely perceived as a reformer, someone who might apply Western ideas of modernity and openness to ruling an Arab state.

After all, he had lived in London, married a British-born woman and become an advocate of new media technologies.

He was a big fan of Phil Collins, ELO and the Beatles.

Unlike his tougher older brother Basil, who died in a car crash in 1994, Bashar al-Assad had not been trained to rule; he was a physician, a scientist, secular and worldly in style and rhetoric.

In his inaugural address, Assad issued what sounded to many like a call for change: “We should face ourselves and our society bravely, and conduct a brave dialogue … in which we reveal our points of weakness.”

But the government’s reaction to the Damascus Spring proved to be a more accurate indicator of how Assad would rule. Despite his rhetoric about shaping a more modern and democratic society, Assad adopted a narrative in which Syria was ever under assault by a conspiracy of radical Islamists, the United States and Israel.

“In his mind, if Syria becomes the North Korea of the Middle East for 10 years, so be it,” said David Lesch, a historian at Trinity University in San Antonio and author of a book about Assad.

Even as his government denied any role in mass killings of villagers, Assad addressed Syria’s parliament this month, offering a muscular defense of harsh responses to what he views as an existential assault on his country.

“No rational human being likes blood,” he said. “But when a surgeon goes into the operation room, cuts a wound, the wound bleeds, the surgeon cuts and amputates. Do we condemn the surgeon because his hands are bloodstained, or do we praise him for saving a human being’s life?”

‘Power is an aphrodisiac’ When Assad first took office, he looked like a different sort of Arab ruler, backing away from some of the imperial trappings of power. He broke with tradition and took his wife to Damascus restaurants without bodyguards. He even drove himself around.

But Assad soon “began to believe that the future of Syria was entirely wrapped up with his own future,” said Lesch, who met regularly with the Syrian leader over most of the past decade. “Power is an aphrodisiac, and when you are surrounded by sycophants, you begin to believe them.”

He also learned that though he inherited his position from his father, his authority depended on satisfying Syria’s military and security forces, as well as his family’s Alawite clan, Lesch said.

Lesch got a firsthand look at Assad’s reluctance to confront his security forces in 2007, when the scholar was invited to meet with the president. Lesch was held at the Damascus airport and interrogated for three hours by a security officer who kept twirling his gun on his fingers.

When Lesch met with Assad and told him what had happened, the president professed to be appalled, Lesch said, but claimed he could not do anything about the mistreatment.

“He needs the security forces for other things,” Lesch said.

“He just has rationalized that that’s the way it has to be in Syria.”

Publicly, Assad rejects the idea that the current uprising stems from the frustration of young people who see no future in a country with few jobs and an entrenched cronyism.

Assad blames colonialism.

He blames foreign forces. He blames “media forgeries.” He blames “internal sedition.”

“No rational human being likes blood,” Bashar Assad said while addressing the Syrian Parliament this month. “But when a surgeon goes into the operation room, cuts a wound, the wound bleeds, the surgeon cuts and amputates.”

That’s all propaganda, and Assad doesn’t believe a word of it, argues Abdallah, who was imprisoned from 2005 to 2006 for opposing Assad. Now at the Syrian Center for Political and Strategic Studies in Washington, Abdallah said Assad is clinging to tactics that worked in his father’s day, but cannot succeed in an era of online video and satellite TV. Assad said this month that only “a monster” could order the massacres that rebels insist were committed by progovernment militias. Assad, of course, doesn’t see himself as a monster, but as a leader defending his family, his sect and his vision of Syria as a bulwark against radical Islamists, said Eyal Zisser, a scholar of Syrian history at Tel Aviv University in Israel.

“Assad has no options. He sees what happened to the other leaders,” Zisser said. “He is alone. All he has is the military and the Alawites — people ready to fight, not for him, but to save themselves.”

Determined to stay Leaving the country is a possibility Assad has considered and rejected. “He told me he and his family could get out, but the Alawites would be massacred, as well as the other minorities, and he therefore could not just leave,” said Malcolm Hoenlein, executive vice chairman of the Conference of Presidents of Major American Jewish Organizations, who spent more than three hours in one-on-one conversation with Assad during a visit last year.

Assad is not isolated from information. He regularly sends family and staff links to interesting websites, according to emails a Syrian dissident provided to Britain’s Guardian newspaper.

One email, apparently from Assad to his wife, featured lyrics to a country song by Blake Shelton: “I’ve been a walking heartache / I’ve made a mess of me / The person that I’ve been lately / Ain’t who I wanna be.”

But there is little introspection in the emails, many of which detail Asma Assad’s shopping ventures, as she arranged for shipment of furniture from London, fondue sets from Amazon.com and the latest Harry Potter DVD from Lebanon.

Political psychologists Jerrold Post and Ruthie Pertsis of George Washington University see Assad as one of a number of world leaders whom they call “second-choice sons who became leaders by default.”

Assad, Israel’s Benjamin Netanyahu, India’s Rajiv Gandhi and U.S. President John F. Kennedy each had to come to terms with an unexpected rise to power after the death of a brother who had been groomed for that role.

Assad, who grew up expecting his brother Basil to follow their father, remained a publicly quiet, shy figure until 1994, when Basil was killed in a car crash. That, Post said, explains why Assad often seems “disengaged,” such as when he told ABC’s Barbara Walters in December that he doesn’t control Syria’s military forces.

“This isn’t what he bargained for,” Post said. “His father yanked him out of his medical residency. But he doesn’t want to see the Assad dynasty die on his watch, so he is living this jarring disconnect, as if he can’t stand the reality of what’s going on around him.”

None of those interviewed who have met with Assad in the past few years believe he will leave Syria voluntarily, unless all is lost.

“He is determined to do everything opposite to what (Hosni) Mubarak did,” Lesch said, “and that means fight to the end.”

WASHINGTON — When the Watergate complex was built in the 1960s, it was just a group of buildings on the western edge of the nation’s capital. Then, 40 years ago today, police in Washington arrested five men breaking into the office of the Democratic National Committee there.

Scandals, from Monicagate to Troopergate, haven’t been the same since.

Thesedays,though,there’s little marking the location of the 1972 crime that ultimately led to the resignation of President Richard Nixon.

The office building that was the site of the break-in is still in use, though tenants have changed. The adjacent hotel where the burglars stayed is currently closed. And another hotel across the street where a lookout watched the night of the break-in, with a walkie-talkie on hand, has been turned into a college dorm.

Jane Freundel Levey, the chief historian for Cultural Tourism DC, a coalition of city cultural and heritage groups, says there’s talk of installing a set of historical signs in the Foggy Bottom neighborhood where the buildings sit. If that happens, the spaces that played a part in the Watergate drama will certainly be marked, she said.

“We are a nation of people who make pilgrimages,” she said, adding that people like knowing when they’re standing on a historic spot.

Now, however, most tourists visiting Washington head to see the Capitol, the Declaration of Independence, the theater where President Abraham Lincoln was shot and the Smithsonian museums, where interactive exhibits and tour guides await. There’s nothing like that at the Watergate, which sits along the banks of the Potomac River next to the city’s John F. Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts.

The site is about a halfmile from the nearest subway station and not on the route of the city’s red, double-decker tour buses. The surrounding neighborhood is full of George Washington University students and federal government workers, but the Watergate is a little farther away.

“It’s somewhat quiet down there,” said Carolyn Crouch, founder of Washington Walks, a group that takes people on neighborhood walking tours and who leads a tour of the area about twice each year. “It’s really pretty peaceful.”

What visitors get if they make the trek is city dwellers, going about their business.

The Watergate complex is seen from the top floor of the Watergate Office Building in Washington. The office building that was the site of the infamous break-in is still in use, but with different tenants. The adjacent hotel where the burglars stayed is closed. The hotel across the street where a lookout watched the night of the break-in has been turned into a college dorm.

Committee, the burglars’ target, moved out of the Watergate long ago. The group’s offices are now across town, just south of the U.S. Capitol. The sixthfloor office space the committee once occupied now houses the office of the Iraqi embassy’s military attaché and a doctor’s office. A real estate company that bought the building in 2011 has plans for millions of dollars of upgrades, but half the building is currently vacant.

Empty, too, are the more than 200 rooms of the Watergate Hotel, the building next to the office where the burglars checked into rooms 214 and 314 under assumed names. When police arrived to search the rooms, they found electrical equipment, blue surgical gloves and thousands of dollars in brand-new 100-dollar bills. The hotel was closed for renovations in 2007, and its current owners have said they plan to make changes

including adding more than 100 rooms, but the hotel won’t open until at least 2013.

Perhaps the biggest changes have been to what was the Howard Johnson’s Motor Lodge across the street from the Watergate office building.

That’s where former FBI agent Alfred C. Baldwin III sat in a hotel room and listened to telephone wiretaps placed by the burglars at the Democratic National Committee offices during a first, undetected burglary in May. Baldwin was in room 723 on the night of the second fateful caper, June 17.

The hotel’s owners eventually capitalized on the room’s fame, installing a brass plaque declaring the space “The Watergate Room” in 1996. Inside, they hung framed reproductions of newspapers from that era and stocked the room with Watergate videos and books. It didn’t last.

George Washington University bought the hotel three years later and turned it into a dorm.

Students assigned to the seventh floor initially participated in Watergate-related activities, and Room 723 remained empty because of its historical significance. But the university changed its mind in 2001, gathering up memorabilia that had been in the room, depositing it in the school’s archives and assigning the room to students.

Sarah Steckler, who graduated in 2007 and is now an attorney in New York, lived in the room her freshman year. She said she remembers students taking pictures with the plaque outside her door or knocking and asking to see inside. The students, born years after Nixon’s infamous resignation, were generally disappointed with what they saw.

“Inside it was a standard dorm room,” she said.

China makes landmark space launch

By Barbara Demick Los Angeles Times

BEIJING — It might not have been a giant step for mankind, but the launch Saturday of a piloted space capsule to dock with China’s space station prototype marked the country’s breakthrough into the exclusive club once made up only of the United States and Russia.

And as far as womankind is concerned, there was another first. One of the three astronauts in the Shenzhou 9 capsule was 33-year-old Liu Yang, the first Chinese woman in space.

Shenzhou 9 was launched at 6:37 p.m. against a vivid blue sky from the Jiuquan satellite launch center at the edge of the Gobi desert. Televised nationally, the launch prompted a round of applause in the command center as the capsule separated from its carrier rocket and entered orbit.

“Today’s successful launch is a great first step,” CCTV host Kang Hui said. “I hope the astronauts will bring us more good news like this in the coming days.”

The trickiest part of the 13day mission will come when the capsule docks with the Tiangong 1 space module, a prototype of a space station about the size of a school bus, which is orbiting approximately 213 miles above Earth.

The docking is expected Monday.

The same docking procedure was carried out in November by an unmanned capsule, the Shenzhou 8, but the degree of difficulty is greater when carrying a crew.

Space station plans The Chinese were excluded from the International Space Station by a vote of the U.S. Congress, citing fear of technology transfers. The Chinese have said they will build their own, smaller station by 2020, the year funding for the International Space Station expires.

China’s appetite and budget for space exploration appears to be growing as others are getting out of the business.

“Ironically, by the time they finish their space station in the early 2020s, the Chinese might be the only people left up there. Absent changes in current U.S., Russian and European space policies, the International Space Station will be decommissioned and deorbited in 2020,” analyst Gregory Kulacki noted in a report last week by the Union of Concerned Scientists.

China’s objective is to test docking mechanisms and life-support systems that will be essential if Beijing is to achieve its objective of operating its own space station.

The Chinese, who sent their first man into space in 2003, have also said they want to send a man to the moon.

As latecomers to the space race, the Chinese are still substantially behind, perhaps by as much as 40 years, in the estimation of Morris Jones, an Australian scholar who published a book on the Chinese space industry.

“Right now, the Chinese space program is roughly the same as the American space program towards the very end of the 1960s, though clearly they are not in a position to fly to the moon,” Jones said.

Jones sees China’s space ambitions in much the same light as America’s and Russia’s, serving military, technological and propaganda goals.

“Human spaceflight is a very advanced achievement, and China is attempting to show its growing strength,” he said.

In the live television coverage, a camera in the capsule showed a large red banner behind the astronauts with the ubiquitous Chinese character fu, meaning luck. After the Shenzhou 9 separated from its carrier rocket, the astronauts waved to the camera, and workers at the command center waved a Chinese flag.

Myanmar’s Suu Kyi accepts 1991 Nobel Peace Prize The Associated Press OSLO, Norway — Myanmar opposition leader Aung San Suu Kyi declared Saturday that the Nobel Peace Prize she won while under house arrest 21 years ago helped to shatter her sense of isolation and ensured that the world would

demand democracy in her military-controlled homeland.

Suu Kyi received two standing ovations inside Oslo’s city hall as she gave her long-delayed acceptance speech to the Norwegian Nobel Committee in front of Norway’s King Harald, Queen Sonja and

about 600 dignitaries. The 66year-old champion of political freedom praised the power of her 1991 Nobel honor both for saving her from the depths of personal despair and shining an enduring spotlight on injustices in Myanmar.

Suu Kyi, who since winning

freedom in 2010 has led her National League for Democracy party into opposition in Myanmar’s parliament, offered cautious support for the first tentative steps toward democratic reform in her country. But she said progress would depend both on maintaining foreign

pressure on the army-backed government — and on carefully managing the ethnic tensions threatening the country.

“If I advocate cautious optimism, it is not because I do not have faith in the future, but because I do not want to encourage blind faith.”

After reviewing the companies’ plan for the experiment, Campana said he had no problem with the amounts of chemicals Rhodamine WT and fluorescein being used, nor the metallic elements cesium, rubidium and lithium.

Critics of the experiment have raised concerns about the chemicals and metals being toxic.

“Keep in mind that just about every substance is toxic — it’s the dose that matters,” Campana wrote in an email.

Quakes and water quality As the companies proceed, there are still concerns about the stimulation triggering earthquakes and chemicals used to track the spread of the created reservoir coming into contact with the aquifer, or natural groundwater reservoir.

AltaRock and Davenport officials say they will monitor the earthquake situation closely, shutting down the operation if the temblors become too strong. This summer they are establishing an underground array of seismometers, cali-

brated to detect the slightest rumbling, near the experimental well. Data from the array of about 20 seismometers will be available online before the experiment starts, said Doug Perry, president of Davenport Newberry.

“When they actually do the stimulation you’ll be able to see it in real time,” he said.

They also say a combination of steel and concrete casing inside the first 6,500 feet of the well will keep the water out of the aquifer. On the Newberry Volcano the deepest sections of the aquifer are 1,000 feet down.

The chemicals and naturally occurring metallic elements set to go down the well are commonly used in groundwa-

Vancouver, Wash., may ban aerial fireworks sales The Associated Press PORTLAND — The Vancouver, Wash., City Council is considering a ban on aerial fireworks, bad news for Oregonians who found refuge from their own state’s ban on the devices by crossing the state line.

The Oregonian reports the council approved a first reading of the ordinance June 11 and has scheduled a public hearing and second reading for Monday.

The proposed restrictions were based on safety concerns of emergency responders and residents.

Fireworks can be legally used from July 1 to the Fourth of July.

The proposal would still permit hand-held sparkling devices, cones, fountains, sparklers, ground spinners, snakes and smoke devices.

If the ordinance passes, it would take effect next year.

PORTLAND — Officially, Michelle Obama is coming to Oregon today to deliver a commencement address at Oregon State University in Corvallis.

While the first lady’s there, though, she’ll also be meeting her newest nephew, born four months ago to her brother and his wife.

With an official visit from his sister, Craig Robinson will be merging his two very public roles, as first brother-in-law and as head coach of Oregon State’s men’s basketball team.

“It’s really nice to see how excited Oregon State, Corvallis and the state of Oregon are about her visit,” Robinson said. “That’s a good feeling, as a big brother, to know so many people have warm feelings for your sister coming to town.”

Robinson doesn’t tap into his sister’s star power very often, he said, but he thought she could bring some worthwhile attention to the university. He also takes his players every year for an insider’s experience in Washington.

“It gives the guys ... on the team a great experience, to be able to go to Washington, play a game, have the first family support you and get a tour of the White House. It’s a really meaningful experience,” he said.

Robinson played basketball at Princeton and played professionally in Europe for two years. He coached for two years at Illinois Institute of Technology before leaving in 1990 for a career in finance.

A decade later, he returned to coaching as an assistant at Northwestern, then as head coach at Brown.

OSU hired Robinson in 2008, when Barack Obama was an Illinois senator seeking the presidency. He said his brother-in-law’s job hasn’t changed his job all that much.

Obama and Robinson are close, he said, even if they don’t see each other as frequently as they did when both lived in Chicago. Obama is making her second trip to Corvallis, and Robinson brings his family to Washington once or twice a year, he said.

Robinson insisted, as do school officials, that he merely opened the door. OSU sealed the deal because of its public health initiatives that fit well

First Lady Michelle Obama will be reunited with her brother, Oregon State University men’s basketball coach Craig Robinson, when the first lady delivers the commencement address at OSU today. The two are shown together here at the 2008 Democratic National Convention in Denver.

with the first lady’s agenda to improve health and combat childhood obesity.

The university is promoting its work on the One Health Initiative, which aims to improve collaboration between experts involved in health, including doctors, nurses, dentists, veterinarians and environmental experts.

“University graduations typically don’t attract a lot of attention,” said Steve Clark, an OSU spokesman. “In this case, we’re receiving, certainly, regional attention across the Pacific Northwest and national attention, too.”

OSU’s graduating class of nearly 5,000 students will be its largest ever, Clark said.

Obama will be given an honorary doctorate in public health. Officials expect more than 30,000 people to pack Reser Stadium for the graduation ceremony. Visitors will have to pass through metal detectors, and the university is encouraging them to arrive as early as possible. The doors will open at 12:30 p.m.

Obama’s OSU graduation speech will be her third this year. She spoke at Virginia Tech and North Carolina A&T. The Corvallis trip is part of a Western swing for the first lady this week. She has campaign events scheduled Tuesday and Wednesday in Nevada and Colorado, battleground states in the president’s re-election bid.

Robinson campaigned for Obama in 2008 and expects to

be involved again this year.

“Whatever help they need, I’m willing to give and looking forward to giving it,” he said.

4 vanish in avalanche on McKinley

By Nigel Duara The Associated Press

Kevin Wright / National Park Service / The Associated Press

Climbers hike through the area where an avalanche swept Japanese climbers off a hill during their descent from Alaska’s Mount McKinley. One of the five climbers in the party survived a fall into a crevasse. The other four tumbled into the avalanche debris and haven’t been seen since.

Yesterday Continued from B1 “You can say that we are pretty well tied up just now with our new pulp mill in western Canada,” said Mr. Gipson. “But just as soon as that is out of the way we will be free to turn our attention to Bend, and I see no reason why we will not start construction here just as soon as we possibly can get around to it.”

These two statements — From Dr. Brooks and Mr. Gipson — are the most important, as regards Bend’s manufacturing development, that ever have been made. Both men are notably conservative, and on every previous visit have been careful to not make a statement that might in any way unfairly raise hopes or tend to “boom.” While admitting when here before, they have, up to Monday, never allowed themselves to be quoted as saying that such a mill was positively decided upon, and forthcoming this summer.

“Why should we build anywhere but at Bend?” said Mr. Mueller. “We are heavily interested in the town. The mill sites are here, the railroads are here, and our timber is conveniently situated. Yes, our mill will be at Bend, as far as it is possible to see now.”

In speaking of the new mill’s effects upon population, J.P. Keyes, who has done much of the mill construction work for the Brooks companies for many years, did not hesitate to state that the establishment of even one of the mills will practically double the population of the town, while the two mills, with a double payroll of over 1,000 men, would mean an increase of Bend’s population of between 3,000 and 4,500 people, considering only the workers and their dependents.

The third announcement of great importance to Bend is that a $40,000 electrical power plant will be erected immediately, which means that a plant will be put in operation that will not only be able to care for the town, for a number of years, but also will be in a position to supply power for the mills.

Twelve hundred shrieking

girls, flourishing textbooks for autographs, mobbed the movie actor and forced him to flee the school auditorium by climbing down a steel fire escape.

Taylor ran across the school yard like a truant with the throng of girls, their classroom inhibition gone, in pursuit.

Finally he ducked through a basement exit and into a taxi cab.

Miss Earhart flies over the African wild FORT LAMY, Africa — Amelia Earhart, on her leisurely flight around the world, arrived here from Gao at 12:55 p.m., Greenwich time today.

Miss Earhart averaged 135 miles an hour over one of the most difficult sections of her flight across Africa. She was obliged to fly low to follow the few landmarks and was hampered by dense vapors arising from the forests. Nearing Fort Lamy, she flew over a herd of hippopotami in the Chari river.

Three Frenchmen comprising the crew of the Fort Lamy airport sheltered her plane in the only hanger. Miss Earhart had lunch at the home of Field Commander L.E. Thomas.

The plane will be refueled after sunset because of the intense heat.

Social Security Act is costly for Oregon Oregon’s social security burden during 1938 may total $4,000,000 to $12,000,000 it was revealed late Wednesday at the meeting of the legislative interim committee on state and local revenues.

Old age assistance became the state’s biggest financial problem when the 1937 legislature reduced the age limit from 70 to 65 years and increased the maximum benefits to $30 a month.

The committee was set up to study means of gaining additional revenues to meet the growing budget.

An avalanche on Alaska’s Mount McKinley swept a Japanese climbing team off a hill as they tried to descend on a rope line, leaving four presumed dead. One climber survived after tumbling 60 feet into a crevasse.

U.S. National Park Service officials say five people were traveling as one rope team early Thursday morning as part of a Miyagi Workers Alpine Federation expedition on the Alaska mountain.

Park Service spokeswoman Maureen McLaughlin said Hitoshi Ogi, 69, survived the fall.

He was able to climb out.

The other four fell into the avalanche debris and haven’t

participation of girls in sports within their own school.

One board member commented that many girls of grade school age are not emotionally equipped to accept defeat in direct sports competition.

Osprey add interest to Mirror Pond Mirror Pond visitors this week included a pair of osprey, those graceful birds generally known as “fish hawks.”

The birds attracted considerable attention as they swooped over the pines at riverside, scouted the river, then occasionally dived for fish. Their batting average was low, possibly one fish out of 20 dives.

Harassing the osprey were birds that are nesting in the Mirror Pond area. Blackbirds dived on the fishing birds, threw them off course and ruined their nose dives toward the water.

Through the years, these birds, not more than a pair or two at a time, have fished the Mirror Pond. Once they drew the criticism of ardent Bend anglers, it was proposed that the osprey be shot.

But a naturalist who enjoyed the antics of the osprey objected. He was the late Robert W. Sawyer. The birds, he said, had as much right as man to fish in the Deschutes — and had been getting their trout from the river long before man appeared on the local scene.

Sawyer got considerable backing, including a nod from professional naturalists who noted that osprey in their power dives frequently come up with weakling fish.

Some of those fish are possibly diseased, it was pointed out. Osprey, by removing such fish, protect the trout that remain in the river.

Since that day, some 20 years ago, there has been no local campaign to rid the Mirror Pond of osprey. The birds now are welcome visitors.

They add to the interest of Bend’s beautiful Mirror Pond.

City sees growth in Bend’s future Picture Bend with 50,000 residents — its boundaries stretching north to Cooley Road, south to China Hat, east to Hamby-Ward roads and west to Entrada lodge.

been seen since. The climbers are presumed dead by either snow burial or injuries suffered in falls.

Snowfall and wind have impeded a search for the missing climbers.

Ogi spoke to Park Service employees after the event.

He said the climbers were descending the mountain together when the avalanche began, McLaughlin said. They sped up, trying to get down the mountain faster, but the rope connecting them broke when the avalanche struck.

Ogi was the lowest person on the rope team. He looked for the other four but couldn’t find them.

“He wasn’t sure of all the events,” McLaughlin said, add-

That’s what Bend will look like 20 years from now — at least in the minds of the city commissioners.

The commissioners and city staff spent about 8 hours at a retreat in Sunriver and what emerged was a plan for Bend.

A key component of the strategy is a long-range annexation policy.

Increasing the city population from its current 18,700 to 50,000 may seem like a lofty goal, but in fact the urban area surrounding Bend isn’t too far from that population size now, City Manager Larry Patterson pointed out.

About 24,000 people now live in the area surrounding Bend’s city limits, bringing the total urban area population to about 42,000.

Unlike city residents, people outside the city limits don’t pay taxes for the city streets, police, sewers and other services they use when they come into Bend, Patterson said.

Downtown also was a focus of the “pro-growth” vision.

Finding a new City Hall — called a “city service center” — ranked high on the commissioners’ wish list.

Discussions also focused on a high-rise parking structure downtown and possibly a large community center capable of handling conventions, Patterson said.

Under the commissioner’s vision, the downtown area would expand east to Division Street, south to Florida, north to Portland and west to the Deschutes River.

The timber remains the foundation of the community under the commissioner’s vision, but other economic and industrial development also was foreseen.

Encouraging recreational manufacturers to locate here was discussed, as well as the possibility of luring a brewery to the area.

Patterson said the next step for the commissioners is to take their vision of Bend to community groups to see what they think. Adjustments would be made in response to community comments, he said.

ing that Ogi spoke through a translator and was exhausted.

The four missing climbers include 64-year-old Yoshiaki Kato, 50-year-old Masako Suda, 56-year-old Michiko Suzuki, and 63-year-old Tamao Suzuki.

There was new snow on the route, but the weather on Thursday was calm, McLaughlin said.

“Where the avalanche occurred, the vast majority (of the new snow) was not on the main route,” McLaughlin said.

“A small sliver of it was, and that’s what took them.”

McLaughlin called the avalanche “an unlucky, random event.”

“Avalanches do occur in this vicinity, but it’s not common,

she said.

The climbers were attempting the busiest route, West Buttress, during the height of mountaineering season.

Climbers attempted the route on 92 percent of attempts on Mount McKinley in 2011.

The Park Service said in a news release that nearly 400 people were on the Alaska mountain on Saturday.

Mount McKinley, also known as Denali, is North America’s tallest peak. While not a particularly tall peak by global standards, its latitude makes for far thinner air than is found in mountains closer to the equator. That, combined with the weather and temperatures, makes it a particularly dangerous climb.

N B Ackerman to head PUC Commission SALEM — Gov. John Kitzhaber has chosen Susan Ackerman to chair the Oregon Public Utility Commission.

The three-member commission regulates customer rates and services of the state’s investor-owned electric, natural gas and telephone utilities.

Ackerman was appointed to the PUC in 2010 to serve out the remaining two years of Lee Beyer’s term. She is starting a second term that will expire in 2016.

Possible tsunami boat is inspected ILWACO, Wash. — Washington wildlife officials are testing samples taken from a 20-foot boat that could be debris from the Japanese tsunami to make sure it wasn’t carrying invasive species or pathogens.

Ecology spokesman Curt Hart says the fiberglass boat was pulled from the beach Saturday and thoroughly cleaned at a maintenance service yard at Cape Disap-

pointment State Park.

The boat was found beached at the park Friday.

Hart says state and federal officials are still trying to determine whether it is debris from the Japanese tsunami.

2 fired from state Black Affairs panel PORTLAND — Gov. John Kitzhaber has fired two members of the Oregon Commission on Black Affairs.

He sent letters Thursday to Clifford Walker of Portland and Willie Woolfolk of Medford saying they were terminated immediately.

The Oregonian reports no reason was given publicly for the firings, but both men acknowledged conflict with the commission. They were given the option of resigning and refused.

Woolfolk has been on the commission more than four years. Walker has been on the commission five years.

The Commission on Black Affairs has nine members. The commission works for economic, social, legal and political equality for Oregon blacks.

Washington drive may test public shift on gay marriage

By Lornet Turnbull The Seattle Times (MCT)

SEATTLE — The belief that public opposition to same-sex marriage has softened in recent years will face an important test this fall, when Washington voters decide whether to throw out a new state law legalizing such unions.

National groups on each side of the debate are expected to pour big money and political muscle into what is sure to be a nasty referendum fight here — as well in Maine and Maryland, where gay marriage also is up for a vote.

On this issue, there’s no question the nation remains divided.

But gay rights supporters are buoyed by what they believe has been a significant shift in public attitudes in the three years since Maine voters repealed that state’s same-sexmarriage law.

During that time, national polls have shown support reaching 50 percent or better.

In states where gay marriage has been approved, conservatives have crossed their party to embrace a traditionally liberal position.

And President Barack Obama’s public endorsement last month of gay marriage triggered new conversations on a topic sure to figure prominently in a contentious presidential election.

Approval of gay marriage by voters in any of these states would be a huge symbolic victory for the gay rights movement.

“This is clearly a turningpoint year when it comes to marriage,” said Michael Cole-Schwartz, of the Human Rights Campaign, one of the major organizations in the country actively involved in defending Washington state’s new marriage law.

“There are a slew of polls showing majority support, the president of the United States is lending his endorsement to the cause, and you have these

ballot battles around the country taking place in an environment we’ve not seen before,” Cole-Schwartz said.

In Maine, gay-marriage supporters are so convinced that attitudes have changed that they will ask voters to reconsider their 2009 vote.

In the years since that defeat, activists have gone door to door to gauge sentiment on this issue, talking to people who voted for or against the measure, were on the fence or didn’t vote at all.

“We saw attitudes had changed; we saw the results of education,” said David Farmer, with the gay-marriage advocacy group Mainers United for Marriage. “People were anxious to talk to us.”

Still, backers of gay marriage know they are bucking history in this fight: In 30 states, Americans have banned gay marriage in their constitutions, voting against it every time it has come before them. The most recent: More than 60 percent of North Carolinians voted in favor of a ban last month.

Voters in Hawaii, which also bans gay marriage, in 1998 approved a constitutional amendment that gave the Legislature the right to define marriage.

The National Organization for Marriage (NOM), which is helping to bankroll efforts to defeat gay marriage in states, says a shift in attitude is little more than urban myth.

“The idea of this growing bubble is part of the other side’s strategy to get people to think they are part of this growing majority,” said Chris Plante, regional coordinator for NOM. Plante also is deputy director of Preserve Marriage Washington, the campaign NOM backs in Washington, which recently turned in 247,331 signatures to the secretary of state — more than any other referendum in state history.

Over last weekend, the Secretary of State’s Office said it

appears that nearly 1,000 of them were obtained fraudulently, but that number is not enough to keep the referendum off the ballot.

Through its Referendum 74, the campaign wants voters to undo what the Legislature did in February when it passed, and Gov. Chris Gregoire signed, the state’s same-sexmarriage bill.

The campaign wants people to “reject” Referendum 74; gay-marriage supporters are seeking a vote to approve the measure.

“The truth is the majority of Americans still believe that marriage should be defined as between one man and one woman,” Plante said. “If we succeed in getting that message out there, then we win.”

But Julie Shapiro, a law professor at Seattle University, said it is disingenuous for conservatives to argue a shift in attitudes hasn’t really occurred.

People tend to soften their view around gay marriage as they encounter more people who are gay — the parents and friends of their children, coworkers, neighbors or friends of friends, she said.

“The real question is whether attitudes have shifted enough to change the outcome of an election,” Shapiro said.

The ballot issues are surfacing in a year when Americans will decide who will lead the country for the next four years.

The election is likely to boost voter turnout, Shapiro and others note. Proponents of gay marriage are hoping it will help drive a key constituency to the polls, as it did in 2008: the under-30 population, which supports same-sex marriage at rates exceeding that of older Americans.

Gay rights supporters also are hopeful that endorsements

by Obama and the NAACP will spur support within African-American and other minority communities.

Jet-boat passengers, having donned life vests in Agness, enter the Foster Creek Rapids just outside the Wild Rogue Wilderness Area. Jerry’s Rogue Jets travel upriver 52 miles from Gold Beach to Blossom Bar, combining the excitement of rapids with first-class viewing of wildlife.

GOLD BEACH — Jet-boat pilot Jeff Laird was showing off.

Skipping across the rapids of the lower Rogue River at about 35 mph, Laird suddenly slowed and shifted the boat into reverse. His constant companion, a yellow Lab named Sadie, looked at him inquisitively as he sharply turned the steering wheel and locked the boat into a 360-degree spin.

A world of entertainment is coming to the Tower Theatre

By David Jasper The Bulletin

“This season, starting in September, we’re bringing the world to Bend,” says Ray Solley, executive director of the Tower Theater Foundation.

For its 2012-2013 season, the Tower Theatre will host three distinct series: Marquee, CenterStage and LessonPLAN. Together, they’ll represent “buckets of activity” at the historic downtown theater.

Marquee Series The Marquee Series

features Tower collaborations with three area theater companies: Shore Thing Productions will start the season early with its concert staging of the musical “1776” June 29 through July 1. With music and lyrics by Sherman Edwards and book by Peter Stone, it features an all-female cast.

It’s the complete Broadway musical, using selected props, costumes, choreography and interaction between actors, explains Solley, but it is presented as a concert rather than a fully staged

production.

“Ironically, this way actually makes the lyrics resonate more fully and emotionally.

You’re more engaged and less distracted by special lights, movement and set pieces,” Solley says.

In September, Cat Call Productions will stage its fourth musical, “The Producers,” Sept. 14-22. The Mel BrooksThomas Meehan musical is the fourth in a series of annual shows from Bend company Cat Call Productions, which last year staged “Chicago” to sellout crowds.

Sept. 17 and 18 will be “dark” nights, meaning the show won’t be in production those evenings. But, Solley says, rather than keep the theater closed, they’ll keep the interest humming by offering screenings of two Mel Brooks films, “Young Frankenstein” (Sept. 17) and “Blazing Saddles” (Sept. 18).

“We want everyone to experience the insanity of Mel Brooks,” Solley says.

The Marquee Series will continue, and conclude, with Cascades Theatrical Company’s production of the

classic “A Christmas Carol” Dec. 21-23.

CenterStage Series The CenterStage Series starts off strong with the endurance, discipline and martial arts skills of 20 Kung Fu masters in the Shaolin Warriors’ show “Voices of the Masters” on Oct. 9.

The show features “the agility and grace of gymnasts with the showmanship of Cirque du Soleil performers,” Solley quotes The Washington Post.

A & A

Daughter’s salute to dad is shared by all this holiday Dear Abby: It’s Father’s Day, and I’d like to salute one particular unsung hero — my dad.

He was there for me and my sister despite a difficult workload throughout our childhood.

He has always been generous with love and affection, and I have no doubt that he has sacrificed things he wanted personally for our benefit.

Dad has been the calming voice during times of strife. He can fix anything from a broken washing machine to a broken heart. He has not only nurtured us, but our children as well.

He has been our role model when it comes to setting an example of what a man, husband, father and grandfather should be. He is never judgmental and has always shown us the best in ourselves. He’s consistent in his love of God, country and family. He is patient, kind, generous and smart in ways I only wish I could be.

To top it off, he found us the best mother we could have hoped for. They have been married 58 years. My unsung hero doesn’t wear a cape, but I do believe he has certainly earned a halo. — Sharon in Brandon, Fla. Dear Sharon: What a sweet letter. I’m printing it to honor not only your father but also the millions of men who dedicate themselves daily to raising their children with love and support. In addition, I’d like to extend a Happy Father’s Day to fathers everywhere — not only birth fathers but also stepfathers, foster fathers and those caring individuals who mentor youngsters whose parents are absent or deceased.

Bless you all.

Dear Abby: Will you please help librarians across the country clarify something that is generally misrepresented to the public?

Patrons who need assistance operating a computer MAY be able to get help at their local library. That’s “may,� not “can.�

Too often, people are instructed to go to their library and use a

DEAR ABBY computer to file taxes, redeem a gift, print pictures, etc. The fact is, not every library has computers with Internet access. Most do, but not all.

Further, many libraries lack sufficient staff to offer oneon-one support to operate a computer. To someone who is proficient, it may seem strange that a person can’t simply lay a hand on a mouse and go. The reality is, computers and the Internet are not intuitive to those who haven’t been exposed to them — and there are many.

While I don’t know of a librarian who wouldn’t like to offer unlimited assistance to computer users, libraries nationwide are losing staff due to budget cuts. At the same time, use of libraries is steadily increasing. It’s frustrating to disappoint patrons who expect to receive instruction in computer operation. We prefer they leave our building happy.

So, Abby, please spread the word. Computers and Internet services vary from library to library. Readers should ask their librarian about what services are available at their local branch. — Concerned Citizen, Easthampton, Mass.

Dear Concerned Citizen: Thank you for shining a light on this important subject.

Readers, if this letter is as disturbing to you as it is to me, write your congressional representative and express your concern. For lower- and middle-income people of every age, libraries have performed — and continue to perform — a vital function. Their budgets must not be slashed to the point that they can no longer fulfill their mission of informing and educating the public. — Write Dear Abby at www.DearAbby.com or P.O. Box 69440, Los Angeles, CA 90069.

Horoscope: Happy Birthday for Sunday, June 17, 2012

By JACQUELINE BIGAR This year you naturally seem to attract more optimistic people.

You also demonstrate an ability to handle whatever you must. You gain insight about yourself as well as others. The unexpected keeps your year lively. If you are single, you could meet someone who might not be all that he or she presents him- or herself to be. If you are attached, the two of you benefit from spending more special time together. A fellow GEMINI might seem very different, yet he or she has your same veracity.

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 Your newfound optimism and cheer have an impact on many people you come into contact with.

Make long-distance calls in the morning. Maintain a sense of humor when someone gets confused, or you could have a misunderstanding.

Tonight: Go for the element of surprise.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) HHH Do some intense research before you donate any funds or make an important purchase. Rest assured that you probably can find a better buy. The question is: Do you want to go through the hassle? Be honest with yourself. Tonight: Your treat.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) HHHH Your energy is irresistible to many people. There is an aura of confusion, as people might not be completing their thoughts. A parent or someone you look up to might be capable of wild reversals at this point.

Tonight: The ball is in your court.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) HHHH Your focus might be completely dedicated to finishing a project. You enjoy working like this because your mind relaxes and worries less about the apple of your eye seeing your vulnerabilities.

Tonight: Make it early.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) HHHHH Emphasize what is good in a friendship instead of what is negative. By being open, you’ll also see a situation in a different light. You could be nearly stunned by what you hear. Tonight: Express your caring in a meaningful way for the other party.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) HHHH Do not hesitate to take

the lead in an emotional situation.

You tend to appear cool, calm and collected, while others seem to dissemble in front of you. An older relative or friend lets you know how much you are appreciated. Tonight: In the limelight.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) HHHHH Keep reaching out for a friend at a distance — he or she does not intend to be evasive, nor unavailable. Give this person the benefit of the doubt. Your smiling ways make all the difference. Tonight: Let your spirit soar.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) HHHHH Keep your day as clear as possible, with the exception of spending quality time with your sweetie. When you express your feelings, this person’s response could be a little off. Know that it’s not because he or she doesn’t care. Tonight: Act as if there is no tomorrow.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) HHHH You might want to try a new approach or do something far differently than you have been. The only person holding you back is yourself. Perhaps you are making a judgment about what others might think. You need to lead more often than many other signs. Tonight: Say “yes� to an invitation.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) HHHH You could be well aware of what is happening around you.

You also must develop a better health and/or exercise routine. You often pretend that you are doing enough for your well-being. Just be realistic. Tonight: Get a head start on tomorrow.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) HHHHH No one needs to tell you what to do. You are in the mood to visit with a special friend or two, and you’re full of energy. Your caring means more than you think to one person. Note his or her expression when you are around. Tonight: Pretend it is Friday night.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) HHH Make today about family and those in your immediate circle. Yes, a neighbor might attempt to nudge his or her way into your schedule.

Do what is politically correct, and you will not be sorry. Tonight: A spontaneous get-together at your pad. Š 2011 by King Features Syndicate

A young osprey peers through the leaves of an alder tree beside the Rogue River near Agness. The fish hawks enjoy an ample diet of migratory salmon and steelhead, as well as trout and other freshwater fish that populate the Southern Oregon river.

River pilot Jeff Laird navigates his jet boat through a narrow Rogue River canyon just west of the town of Agness. Jerry’s Rogue Jets have been navigating the river since 1958, and are direct descendants of mail-boat service that began serving remote pioneer homesteads in 1895.

Jet-boat travelers get a close-up look at the underside of the historic Patterson Bridge, built in 1932 by noted bridge designer Condé McCullough. Scores of swallows live beneath the structure, considered the most advanced concrete bridge in America when it opened.

Rogue Continued from C1 Thrust is provided by the volume of water projected from the boat; steering the highly maneuverable vessel is merely a matter of directing the water nozzle to one side or the other.

Jerry Boice and his older brother, Court, were the original pilots and tour guides. A third brother, Alden Boice, was a marine mechanic who built and maintained the company’s original fleet of two wooden jet boats. (The 12 boats in the the current fleet are all aluminum.) In 1972, Alden and Bill McNair — a University of Oregon graduate whose family owned a cabin 20 miles upriver from Gold Beach — purchased control of the company.

The original boat tours ran upriver 32 miles to Agness, a tiny former mill town with a population of fewer than 100 people. Travelers would break there for lunch before returning back downstream to Gold Beach.

Jeff Laird, 47, said he learned to run jet boats when

he was 10. Perhaps not coincidentally, that was about the time — in the mid-1970s — when pilots began testing their mettle on the river waters upstream from Agness.

The narrow, rocky section had long been thought to be unnavigable in a motorized boat.

But Alden Boice had purchased the Paradise Lodge, nearly 20 miles above Agness, and young Jeff learned to navigate the way to “Uncle Alden’s.” The upper section of whitewater was added to the Rogue jet operations soon thereafter, and by the time Laird turned 21 and went to work as a river pilot, he was already a seasoned veteran.

“I can run in 6 inches of water when the boat is fully loaded,” boasted Laird, adding: “I’d rather have this job than a 9-to-5.”

Today, Laird is one of several Boice descendants who work as commercial pilots for Jerry’s Rogue Jets. But everyday operations are in the hands of McNair’s sons, Scott and Nic. Bill McNair himself can often be found upriver in a drift boat, casting a line for the spring chinook or fall steel-

head that make the Rogue one of the most popular fishing rivers in the West.

Gold Beach to Agness My all-day excursion began on the Rogue riverfront in Gold Beach, a town of 2,500 people that is a six-hour (275mile) drive southwest of Bend.

The ominous, half-submerged wreck of the Mary D. Hume, a historic schooner that plied Pacific waters for 97 years before coming to rest here in 1978, is a colorful introduction to the harbor area.

But it is hardly indicative of the river experience ahead.

I joined a group of about 30 travelers on the 104-mile trip to Blossom Bar and back.

(Shorter trips are also available for visitors who might not want to brave the upper-river whitewater.) The McNair brothers provided a safety briefing in the ticketsales area, offering the use of fleece-lined, waterproof jackets to passengers not properly attired.

Then we marched out to the dock. Laird’s friendly dog watched as we found seats on seven padded benches within

a broad, 12-foot beam.

We had plenty of observers as we powered out into the tidal estuary. Cormorants spread their wings atop each piling in the water. Harbor seals followed us under the historic Patterson Bridge, which was considered the most advanced concrete bridge in America when it was built by noted designer Conde McCullough in 1932. Scores of swallows swooped from nests built beneath the structure.

A mated pair of bald eagles roosted in a large cottonwood tree on the riverbank, as a herd of Guernsey cattle grazed beneath. Laird, a keen-eyed observer of wildlife, pointed out a beaver lodge at Cannery Riffle, site of a former salmon cannery at the upper limit of tidal inflow.

A little farther upstream, he spotted a Columbia blacktailed doe and her two spotted fawns near the river’s bank. Despite speeds averaging more than 30 mph, Laird always looked for animals, slowing or stopping to share the sights with passengers.

About six miles above the Patterson Bridge, on the north side of the Rogue, Laird indicated the rustically elegant Tu Tu’ Tun Lodge. Taking its name from the native Tututni Indians, the original residents of the lower Rogue River region, the Tu Tu’ Tun has been acclaimed as one of the finest hotels in North America since opening in 1970.

Nearby, teepees rose on the grounds of an RV park and resort. As we wove through a fleet of private fishing boats — one angler proudly held up a weighty chinook he had caught that morning — Laird pointed to undeveloped, forested acreage that he said was owned by Pete Sampras.

The retired tennis star’s wife, actress Bridgette Wilson, was born and raised in Gold Beach, moving to Hollywood after winning a Miss Teen USA contest in 1990.

Another celebrity resident of the Gold Beach area, Laird said, is 93-year-old Bobby Do-

err. As we passed, he pointed out the remote home of the Baseball Hall of Fame second baseman, a former Boston Red Sox teammate of the great Ted Williams.

of the eight original streams designated as “wild and scenic” in a congressional act in 1968. That list has now grown to 156 rivers in 42 states, but the Rogue remains unique.

The river rises near Crater Lake, pours through a narrow gorge above Union Creek, drifts gently past Medford and through Grants Pass, then enters rugged landscape along the northern edge of the Siskiyou Mountains. Two years ago, I rafted 45 miles of wilderness below Grants Pass; the jet-boat excursion provided the final link to the Pacific.

We stopped twice — once for a rest stop, once for lunch at the Cougar Lane Lodge — in remote Agness, where the temperature was a good 10 degrees warmer than it had been amid the misty sea breezes of the coast.

Following a change of ownership to Kyle Ringer in 2009, the cedar-planked hotel remains a destination for visitors from around the world.

The Tu Tu’ Tun Lodge spreads along the north bank of the Rogue River about six miles upriver from U.S. Highway 101. Taking its name from the region’s original Indian tribe, it has often been acclaimed among North America’s finest hotels since first opening in 1970.

Once a steam schooner, cannery tender and whaling vessel, the Mary D. Hume operated in Pacific waters starting in 1881.

Damaged in 1978 while being lifted into a cradle for display, it now slowly decays near the mouth of the Rogue River.

From previous page The river divides the hamlet in two; a paved road from Gold Beach, which follows the south bank of the Rogue, was linked by bridge to the north bank (with its historic post office) only in 1962. A rough gravel road continues north from here 35 miles to the logging village of Powers, itself linked to Coos Bay and Roseburg.

Just above the Agness bridge, the Rogue is joined by the Illinois River, a wild and scenic stream in its own right.

A little farther, we passed Foster Creek, the usual takeout point for whitewater rafting trips. Then we moved into the Wild Rogue Wilderness.

Suddenly, we were dodging giant boulders and sweeping past brush-covered islands.

Each time that it appeared we might have a perilous collision, Laird swung the boat sharply to the left or right.

A beautiful double waterfall tumbled from one rocky canyon wall just before we reached Blossom Bar, named for the wild azaleas that flourish above the riverside rocks.

But although its name suggests serenity, Blossom Bar is the most hazardous of any Rogue rapid. Jet boats cannot penetrate its rocky picket fence. After a quick look, we turned around to run the

Devils Staircase.

It went against common logic, but the 345-foot elevation gain between Gold Beach and Blossom Bar wasn’t half as thrilling as the descent of Devil’s Staircase. “There may be a little bump here,” Laird said, as he navigated the hellish cataract. Sixty seconds later, there wasn’t a single person aboard the boat who wasn’t drenched from head to toe.

But the 70-degree warmth of the spring day, coupled with the drying effect of the boat’s velocity, quickly flushed the moisture from our skin and clothes. And our afternoon return to Gold Beach, following our lunch stop, was a delightful run. We even saw four black bears on three different sightings.

All smiles, we were back in Gold Beach by about 4 p.m.

And after a stop at the Jerry’s Rogue Jets museum and gift shop, across the parking lot from the ticket building, we were ready to return to our hotels to relax before dinner.

Tu Tu’ Tun Lodge I split my two nights of lodging between two inns.

Having heard much about the Tu Tu’ Tun, I splurged to stay there on my first night in Gold Beach. It isn’t cheap — from now until mid-Oc-

tober, prices begin at $255 per night, not including a $67.50-per-guest meal package — but it delivers top-end service, comfort and luxury in a location where that might be considered hard to come by.

Pronounced “Two Tootin’,” the riverside lodge has 16 beautiful rooms and suites along with three private houses. Most of the rooms have private patios or balconies and wood-burning fireplaces; some also have outdoor soaking tubs.

Guests get acquainted daily at an early-evening hors d’oeuvres reception in the main lodge building. Immediately after, gourmet meals are served family-style. The main entree on my visit was a baked sturgeon that could have been pulled from the waters of the Rogue itself.

Breakfast, meanwhile, may be delivered to your room on request.

From my room, I could see deer wandering the grounds of the lodge, walking around the edge of a fenced herb-andvegetable garden and across a six-hole, pitch-and-putt golf course. Kayaks are available for river play, and a heated lap pool invites serious swimmers. There’s also a private cabana where spa treatments may be arranged.

Wanting to explore the little town of Gold Beach, I also spent a night after jet-boating at the Pacific Reef Resort, a delightful in-town property with a back-door trail that leads just a couple of hundred yards through bunchgrass to a Pacific beach.

Modestly priced — especially compared to the Tu Tu’ Tun — this “resort” offers a choice between motel rooms and two-story condominium rentals by the side of U.S. Highway 101.

The condos have full kitchens, and the hotel owners are about to open a renovated restaurant next door to the property.

Besides jet-boating, the town offers horseback rides on the beach, nature walks in old-growth cedar and myrtle forests, and a well-organized historical museum.

And I found a couple of intriguing restaurants. The Barnacle Bistro is a casual cafe with good sandwiches and a couple of nightly gourmet specials. Anna’s by the Sea Wine Bistro is a quirky off-the-highway spot with European wines and preparations its owner-chef designates “Nouvelle Canadian Prairie Cuisine.”

I’m not sure what that means. But I’m quite certain it didn’t include Rogue River bear.

A perfect barbecue wine

By S. Irene Virbila Los Angeles Times

Think South of France, Rhone Valley. Inky dark, with the taste of sun-baked blackberries, brambles, something wild and woolly.

This is a Côtes de Ventoux from the hills just below the famous Mt. Ventoux, one of the stages in the Tour de France bicycle race.

The current vintage, 2010, is perfect for a burger bash or to wash down a rack of

baby back ribs. Too intense for sipping on its own, this is a wine that needs food, and food with big, bold flavors.

It’s inexpensive enough that you can by it by the case to have on hand for summer’s barbecues.

Region: Côtes de Ventoux, Rhone Valley Price: About $9 Style: Full-bodied and intense What it goes with: Burgers and barbecue

“Until recently, when I was professionally fitted for the new high tech Beltone hearing aids, I didn’t appreciate how much I was missing in some of my favorite pastimes.

Ohio’s little-known haven • Highlands Nature Sanctuary lures visitors with gorge, wildflowers

By Bob Downing Ak ron Beacon Journal

BAINBRIDGE, Ohio — Little-known Highlands Nature Sanctuary is a gem.

The 2,200-acre preserve sits along the Rocky Fork Gorge west of Chillicothe in Highland County, Ohio, 65 miles from Cincinnati and 50 miles from Columbus.

It is a stunning wilderness tract that was acquired and saved from development over the last 17 years by a grassroots group formed in 1995 by a husband and wife.

The sanctuary stretches 10 miles from Rocky Creek State Park east to Paint Creek State Park, with a wild, 100-foot-deep gorge of fossil-filled limestone with fern-filled grottoes, cliffs, springs, caves, waterfalls and old-growth forests.

Here are slump rocks that have toppled from cliffs. They create rock-filled gardens at the bottom of the narrow canyon.

It is cliff country, a vertical-walled place with a special beauty, an enchanting place of solitude. Ohio has other gorges, but most are not as big, long or imposing as Rocky Creek Gorge.

The sanctuary is one of my favorite outdoor spots in Ohio, especially since it has added hiking. I had visited in 2000 in its early days before any trails existed.

It was smaller, primitive, more a dream than reality.

What was being developed by Larry Henry and his then-wife, Nancy Stranahan, both onetime state naturalists, seemed unlikely to ever take off. Preserving Eastern wilderness in southern Ohio seemed an impossible dream.

To date, there have been 53 acquisitions costing in excess of $9 million for the private nature preserve, thanks to donations and contributions. Perhaps two-thirds of the land identified in the sanctuary’s management plan has been acquired.

The newest purchase covers 85-acre God’s Country and Black Gum Woods. It adds nearly a mile of protected stream bank to the sanctuary’s western end. A new trail is planned there later this year.

Cedar Run is a pretty, cliff-lined stream that empties into the Rocky Fork Gorge in the private Highlands Nature Sanctuary west of Chillicothe in Ohio’s Highland County.

Morning fog hovers over Taloden Pond on the Taloden Woods Trail at Ohio’s Highlands Nature Sanctuary in Highland County.

Adding hiking trails is a big plus. To date, 14 miles of backcountry trails offer access to the heart of the sanctuary. It’s a hiker’s paradise.

The gray cliffs of dolomite dominate the preserve. They are powerful and striking, the rocks up to 420 million years old.

The gorge was created by a meltwater-swollen stream during the retreat of the last glacier. The stream reversed itself and carved the canyon.

The sanctuary, once a sacred spot for the Shawnees and Iroquois, offers spectacular spring wildflowers, among the best in Ohio, with its limestone-rich soil. Trilliums, bluebells and anemones abound in April.

Columbines, bellworts, miterworts, cohosh and wild geraniums grow there.

There are rare and endangered plants, including white cedars, sullivantia (found in only three states), the threebird-orchid and yellow wood poppies.

The scenery is very special.

Great blue herons and bald eagles are found along the stream. Junipers are growing in what used to be farm fields.

Cedars line the top of the gorge at the western edge of Appalachia. You’ll find white-tailed deer, pileated woodpeckers and wild turkeys.

The stream itself is pristine, among the cleanest in Ohio. It has pools and riffles that turn into whitewater at high levels.

It houses lots of freshwater mollusks and 63 species of fish.

Caves that once catered to tourists have been reclaimed for bats, although the four species are threatened by disease.

There are 23 caves, six of which have been closed to humans.

Three distinct bioregions meet here: Kentucky bluegrass, western Appalachian foothills and Midwest plains. It is one of America’s botanical hot spots.

The sanctuary celebrates the Eastern forest in its small forest museum that overlooks the gorge.

It is run by a nonprofit group but is a state-dedicated nature preserve. It gets no state money for operations, just a designation.

It also surrounds a stateowned nature preserve along the gorge: the 85.8-acre Miller State Nature Preserve off Barrett’s Mill Road. It is known for its snow trilliums, American columbo, pink shooting star, barren strawberry and Walter’s violet.

The Millers donated the land with its natural stone arch to the state in 1982. It is a geologic

and botanical preserve.

My favorite trail on a threeday spring visit was Barrett’s Rim, a two-mile hike. The sanctuary touts the trail as being the jewel of the gorge.

The trail started crossing a tall-grass prairie and then slipped into the woods.

It dropped into the gorge near pretty Kellogg’s Branch and ran under the cliffs and next to the gurgling stream.

Then, bam, the cliffs are there. They stand up to 80 feet tall and stretch for nearly a mile. It provokes a wild feeling,

and you are sure that you can’t possibly be in Ohio.

The trail is tucked at the base of the dolomite cliffs and next to the stream. The rock is tough, gray-brown and filled with holes.

Botanical paradise Barrett’s Rim is a botanical treasure, filled with verdant plant life. Vegetation thrives on the rock walls, turning them green. The cliffs are home to thousands of saxifrages, Sullivantia sullivantii.

It is found only in Ohio and

two other states.

The trail climbs past the Portal, a water-carved ravine, to ascend to the wooded plateau.

It then returns hikers to the trailhead.

Both the 1.25-mile Cedar Run Trail and the two-mile Kamelands Loop offer access to the inner gorge. The Kamelands Loop also features a rock bridge along the trail.

The 0.33-mile Etawah Woods Trail begins near the forest museum and dead-ends on the creek near the Three Sisters, three picturesque house-size boulders that have toppled from the cliffs into the stream.

There are 66 stone steps leading hikers into the rock-walled inner gorge.

It is one of the few places in Ohio where the gray polypod or resurrection fern grows.

“Foot for foot, this trail offers some of the most beautiful scenery” in the sanctuary and in the Arc of Appalachia, organizers say.

The Etawah (pronounced etta-WA) Trail was named after an American Indian maiden who reputedly leaped into the gorge to join a lost lover. On one occasion, Shawnee Indians tied captive Daniel Boone to a tree overnight in the gorge.

The Ravenswood Listening Trail offers up-high views into the Hozho Canyon. The Taloden Woods Trail, a onemile loop with another onemile spur option, climbs a forested ridge.

Hikers must have a day pass, $6 for adults and $3 for children.

That includes admission to the

Appalachian Forest Museum.

The preserve is open to the public from 9:30 a.m. to 5 p.m. weekends from April through October. Members can hike daily year-round.

The most useful information sheet is the trail guide with directions to trailheads scattered across the preserve. Most of the trails are moderate in difficulty, but they are short. The longest is a three-mile loop. They may be steep, rocky, narrow and uneven.

Etawah Woods, a 47-acre tract, was the first to be acquired in 1995. It is one of the prettiest sections of the gorge with arborvitae on the cliffs and hemlocks and Canada yew deep in the gorge.

Since 2005, the sanctuary has been working to improve visitor services and build its appeal. The sanctuary offers lodging in four old houses it has acquired along the gorge.

What could be better than sitting on a deck with a favorite beer after hiking four trails, watching a full moon rise over the gorge with redbud in bloom and hearing coyotes howling across the gorge?

Olympic Club tests the best with every shot

By Bill Pennington New York Times News Service

SAN FRANCISCO — t is all Rory’s fault.

With every toothy, this-iseasy grin from Rory McIlroy one year ago at the U.S. Open — and there were hundreds as he won the event at 16 under par — an unsmiling sense of dread developed in the greater community of golf pros who knew that this year’s Open would become a punishing payback.

Twenty players were under par last year at the Congressional Country Club. Eighteen more were no worse than 2 over par.

Oh, boy. Get ready for four days of reckoning at The Olympic Club in 2012.

Those fears were not unfounded.

“I think we all knew the USGA was going to come out firing,” said Nick Watney, one of the 153 players in the 156-man field who were over par at the midway point of this year’s tournament. “And they haven’t disappointed. What did you expect? It’s certainly what we all expected.”

Tiger Woods said: “Look, this isn’t Congressional. This is really hard. Shot after shot.”

To be fair, the idea that the U.S. Open would have playing conditions as difficult as any other golf competition was not conceived in 2012, nor was it a mindset adopted in the previous century. The U.S. Open was meant to be a stern test of golf — maybe the sternest test — since the 1800s.

“It is one of the things that has always set the event apart,” said Mike Davis, the executive director of the U.S. Golf Association.

A series of events conspired to make the conditions at The Olympic Club so taxing, rather than a conspiracy from golf’s leaders to wreak vengeance on the world’s best golfers for McIlroy’s unabashed success.

I

GOLF COMMENTARY For starters, the Open’s visit to Congressional heralded the first of three consecutive stops at old-style, traditional golf courses. (Merion Golf Club outside Philadelphia will host the event next year.) These choices, especially Congressional and Merion, raised concerns that their layouts were either not challenging enough or not long enough for modern golfers using modern equipment.

That 20 players were under par last year — no player under par might be more typical — ramped up the pressure to guarantee that the competition at Olympic was in no way as forgiving. Because two successive unduly merciful championships would only heighten the focus on Merion, which does not need the added attention. It is hosting its first U.S. Open since 1981.

The other, perhaps pivotal factor was the weather. Congressional was tamed by rain before and during the championship, making the greens soft and vulnerable. Returning to the Bay Area, where it rarely rains in mid-June, the USGA knew it had a predictable weather pattern that assured a workable plan for a course that would seem difficult in the practice rounds then turn much more dastardly once play began.

And that is what has happened.

“The golf course was a totally different animal Thursday than it was during Wednesday’s practice round,” said Luke Donald, the world’s No. 1 player, who did not make the cut after two over-par rounds. “We just don’t play golf courses this firm. We don’t play anything close to this.”

Few players, including Donald, were complaining about the course setup. But its unrelenting ferocity might have surprised.

“It just keeps coming at you,” said Graeme McDowell, the 2010

champion, who played the first two rounds in a tidy 1 over par. “You get worn down. Every little mistake costs you.”

Asked Friday if he would like to send a message to the USGA’s Davis, McDowell all but whispered, “Be nice to us.”

Watney likened the Open at Olympic to a boxing match, which is not a comparison made every day on the genteel PGA Tour.

“It is like boxing in that you know you’re not going to win every round,” Watney said. “You’re good one round, then getting beat up the next round. And sometimes in the middle of a round you’re in trouble, and you just try to hold on until your head clears.”

David Toms, one of the midway point leaders, said the Olympic setup required the players to be imaginative even if that sometimes backfired.

“It’s a fair test but it will make you do some crazy things,” Toms said. “Like hit a shot to a front pin from 220 yards where you try to land it short because you know if you land it on the green, the ball will run off the back.

“Except when you do land it short, sometimes it doesn’t get there. So it can make you kind of silly sometimes.”

Short and safe might beat the alternative — just ask Woods. His shot to the 17th green Friday landed well in front of the hole, then ran off the back of the green and 30 yards down a side hill. He made par only because he was fortunate not to be blocked by several trees in the vicinity. Can anyone leading the championship expect to be so lucky with the title on the line late today?

One thing is certain: McIlroy will not have to worry about any such fate. He did not make the cut and hurriedly and somberly packed a bag, dashing from the Olympic Club as several dozen golfers remained to slash and flail in his wake.

SAN FRANCISCO — Ernie Els hasn’t won a major championship in 10 years.

But after his chip-in for eagle on No. 17 on Saturday at The Olympic Club, the South African found himself tied for fourth at the U.S. Open, just three shots back at 2-over 212 entering the final round.

“To come back and play the last 12 holes in 5 under is quite amazing, and obviously the shot on 17 is what dreams are made of,” he said.

Els won the 2002 British Open and he’s a two-time U.S. Open champ, winning in 1994 and 1997.

At age 42, this is his 20th U.S. Open.

“I feel that my mental attitude this week has been quite good,” Els said.

“I’ve had a couple of train wrecks out there (an 8 on the par-5 16th and double bogey on No. 4) the first day. So hopefully I got those out of the way.

“Experience helps around here. For some reason I’m patient again this week and that’s kind of my virtue in major championship golf ... the ability to be patient and wait it out. And I think you’re going to have to do that tomorrow.”

First-time ace John Peterson had never made a hole-in-one before.

He was easy to tell Saturday at the U.S. Open.

Peterson’s tee shot on the par-3 13th from 180 yards out landed about 15 feet short of the pin, caught the ridge and trickled in for an ace. He tossed his 7-iron, threw his hands in the air almost fell when he leaped to chest-bump his caddie.

“When it went in, man, I don’t know what I did. I want to watch the replay,” said Peterson, whose thirdround 72 left him four shots behind leaders Jim Furyk and Graeme McDowell. “I hope y’all have a replay so I can see it again. But I went nuts. I know that. I tried to chest-bump my caddie and I missed.”

Miniature golf Players teed off from the most forward box Saturday on the par-3 15th, which played at 107 yards. That didn’t make it easy. The hole location was four paces from the edge, tucked in the front-left corner.

“The flag on 15 is one the hardest flags I’ve ever seen on a par 3,” said Lee Westwood, who took par on the hole all three rounds.

No. 15 played at 150 yards Thursday, and 143 on Friday.

Cycling • Fields earns Olympic berth at U.S. men’s BMX trials: Connor Fields has won the U.S. men’s BMX trials to automatically qualify for the London Olympics, holding off Corben Sharrah, Mike Day and Barry Nobles in the final. Fields will be joined on the team

by David Herman, who earned a spot by leading USA Cycling’s power rankings, and a discretionary selection to be announced later.

Tennis • Cilic beats Querrey to advance to Queen’s final: Sixth-seeded Marin Cilic of Croatia beat American Sam Querrey in the Queen’s Club semifinals 6-3, 3-6, 6-3 on Saturday in London. Querrey, who is unseeded, won the title in 2010. Cilic will play 10thseeded David Nalbandian of Argentina.

Federer vs. Haas in Halle, goes for record 6th win: Roger Federer will face wild card Tommy Haas of Germany in a bid to win the Gerry Weber Open in Halle, Germany, for a record sixth time today. The 87thranked Haas defeated defending champion Philipp Kohlschreiber 7-6 (5), 7-5 on Saturday. Federer eased past Mikhail Youzhny of Russia by 6-1, 6-4 to reach his seventh final.

Cornet, Wickmayer advance to Gastein Ladies final: Second-seeded Yanina Wickmayer of Belgium beat unseeded Mandy Minella of Luxembourg 7-6 (3), 6-3 on Saturday to advance to the final of the Gastein Ladies in Bad Gastein, Austria. She will face Alize Cornet of France, who beat Ksenia Pervak of Kazakhstan 6-2, 6-2.

China’s Zheng Jie into Aegon Classic semifinals: Zheng Jie of China overcame the rain and a busy schedule to beat Roberta Vinci 6-3, 5-7, 6-4 and reach the semifinals of the Aegon Classic on Saturday in Birmingham, England. The rain returned to delay the second quarterfinal, between former topranked player Jelena Jankovic of Serbia and Misaki Doi of Japan.

— From wire reports

Open Continued from D1 In a U.S. Open that has lived up to its reputation this week, it was difficult for anyone to get too far ahead.

McDowell and Furyk were two shots ahead of Fredrik Jacobson, who had a 68. Another shot behind was a group that included Lee Westwood, whose Saturday-best 67 gave him another shot at his first major; and Ernie Els, who holed a long pitch for eagle on the 17th that carried him to a 68. The Big Easy is a twotime U.S. Open champion, with that first title coming 18 years ago.

“Experience helps around here,” Els said.

“For some reason, I’m patient again this week and that’s been kind of my virtue in major championship golf, the ability to be patient and wait it out. And I think you’re going to have to do that tomorrow.”

Thirteen players were separated by four shots going into today, a list that includes 17year-old Beau Hossler, who followed bogeys with birdies for a 70.

Woods, who has never won a major from behind, was five shots back. His round ended with a shot from the middle of the 18th fairway that hung up in the right collar of rough, and a stubbed chip that took a hard turn to the left some 10 feet away.

When he two-putted for his sixth bogey, his day got a little worse. Climbing the hill toward the fabled clubhouse at Olympic, a photographer brushed past him and Woods banged his hand into the camera. He shook it several times, but later said he was fine.

The real hurt came from Olympic.

“It was just a tough day on the greens, and most of the day, I just kept getting that halfnumber, right in between clubs all day,” said

U.S. Open leaderboard

Ben Margot / The Associated Press

Graeme McDowell watches his drive on the 11th hole during the third round of the U.S. Open Championship Saturday at The Olympic Club in San Francisco.

Woods, who was either well long or short on his approach shots.

Furyk, the only player who has not had a round over par in this championship, and McDowell played together in the opening two rounds. Both are similar players who appear to be a good fit for Olympic — control off the tee and a strong fight to avoid bogeys. McDowell referred to Furyk as a “plodder,” which at the U.S. Open is a high compliment.

“It doesn’t have to look or be fancy. It has to work,” Furyk said. “And I think we have styles of games where we put the ball into play, we put the ball on the green and take our chance at the putt and then move on.”

But this was not shaping up as a two-man race for McDowell and Furyk.

“Looking at the leaderboard, you’ve got to look down as far as the guys at 3 or 4 (over) as

Through Saturday’s third round Graeme McDowell 69-72-68—209 Jim Furyk 70-69-70—209 Fredrik Jacobson 72-71-68—211 Lee Westwood 73-72-67—212 Ernie Els 75-69-68—212 Blake Adams 72-70-70—212 Nicholas Colsaerts 72-69-71—212 Webb Simpson 72-73-68—213 Kevin Chappell 74-71-68—213 John Senden 72-73-68—213 a-Beau Hossler 70-73-70—213 Jason Dufner 72-71-70—213 John Peterson 71-70-72—213

having a realistic chance of winning this tournament,” McDowell said.

That includes some regular characters, such as Westwood and Els and even two-time U.S. Open champion Retief Goosen, who was five shots behind. And it features newcomers to this stage like Nicolas Colsaerts, the big hitter from Belgium — and even a high school kid.

For every bogey Hossler made, he answered with a birdie on the next hole.

His only big blunder came on the 11th, when he was too aggressive with a downhill putt and missed his par putt from 6 feet. Two holes later, he hit a heavy chip from the hazard that rolled back down a slope for another bogey. The kid just wouldn’t go away, though, and suddenly he is dreaming big.

“My goal now is to win the tournament,” he said.

MLB

Players embrace baseball scoring appeals process

By Josh Dubow The Associated Press

OAKLAND, Calif. — Oakland’s Coco Crisp tracked Robinson Cano’s drive to right-center. He seemed ready to make the catch — until he got caught between deciding whether to jump or stay on his feet and the ball bounced off his glove.

Cano easily got into second base as New York Yankees teammate Curtis Granderson came around to score. Official scorer Chuck Dybdal ruled it a two-base error.

To many at the ballpark, the call seemed routine. But the Yankees were bewildered.

They filed an appeal with Major League Baseball the following day to give Cano an RBI double. And their wish was quickly granted by MLB executive vice president Joe Torre, a pattern that is being repeated much more frequently under a streamlined appeals process for official scoring calls.

“You can see it and then you can appeal,” Cano said. “It’s a good thing you can appeal, because sometimes those things, maybe can be the one that — you can hit 2,000 hits. Maybe a double, you can hit 500 doubles. Or the RBI — you can get 1,000 RBIs. Who knows? You know how hard it is to get a hit or double in this game.”

Don’t forget how hard it is to pitch. The Mets took a shot at getting R.A. Dickey’s one-hit gem against Tampa Bay on Wednesday belatedly changed from a one-hitter to a no-hitter.

But no luck. That appeal got turned down.

“We took advantage of the process,” Mets manager Terry Collins said. “You can do it, so we gave it a shot. We didn’t win it. We didn’t expect to win it. Just gave it a try. If we had won it, we’ve got another no-hitter.”

Both cases have their roots in player complaints about official scoring during last year’s collective bargaining talks, leading to a new appeals process and an effort by MLB to try and bring more consistency to official scoring decisions from city to city and scorer to scorer.

Team officials are not supposed to “initiate communication” with scorers and MLB will punish people who “intimidate, influence or pressure” scorers into changing calls.

Instead, a player or team can appeal any call to MLB within 24 hours after it is made. While baseball will not release numbers on how many appeals there have been this year, scorers, teams and players say it is up considerably from last year when 12 of 58 plays appealed under the old system were overturned.

“It’s a good thing because

Oakland Athletics center fielder Coco Crisp can’t get to a ball hit by New York Yankees’ Robnson Cano during the third inning of a baseball game in Oakland, Calif., on May 25. Crisp was charged with a two-base error on the play, but the Yankees later appealed the official scoring to MLB and the scoring was ruled a two-RBI double for Cano.

it’s less of a distraction as the game goes on and there’s a call that, at face value, you say, ‘That’s a hit or that’s an error,’ ” Angels manager Mike Scioscia said. “There’s a process in place where you ask the league to take a look. It’s one less distraction that can happen in the dugout, where guys are saying, ‘Are you (kidding) me?’ ” After a successful appeal, the call and corresponding statistics are changed with no fanfare or announcement.

In the play involving Cano and Crisp on May 25 in Oakland, A’s starter Tyson Ross had three earned runs added to his ledger just hours after being sent down to TripleA from 5.94 to 6.51 without throwing an additional pitch.

“That’s unfortunate because I believe I should have caught that,” Crisp said. “That works out in my favor but Tyson doesn’t deserve those runs. It should have been an error.”

Baltimore’s Nick Johnson was on the winning side of an appeal earlier this year when Torre ruled a ball Eduardo Nunez of the Yankees allowed to fall in left field on May 1 should have been a double not an error.

“I like it,” Johnson said of the new process. “I think it’s going to work well. Just another set of eyes to take another look at it. You hear back from them in two, three days and go from there.”

Minnesota scorer Stew Thornley said he has had calls overturned on appeal and likes the new process better than the confrontations with

D5

players or team officials that used to be more frequent.

He sympathizes with players who are upset about calls they disagree with, because he used to do his share of complaining before becoming a scorer himself.

“You think you got jobbed by a scorer’s call, you’re unhappy. I totally understand that,” Thornley said. “That’s part of the job. That’s why any clown out there can’t do it because boy, I used to be one of those clowns. ‘Boy if I were doing this job.’ Then you find out what it’s like to do it from the hot seat and get some of that criticism.”

While baseball’s rules say judgment calls by an official scorer should only be changed if they are to be determined to be “clearly erroneous,” players who like the new process acknowledge there is rarely unanimity on disputed calls.

Oakland shortstop Cliff Pennington said when he polls teammates about disputed calls, the clubhouse verdict is usually split.

“We’re judges the same way you think of a judge in court,” New York scorer Billy Altman said. “It’s not completely possible to standardize that.

No court can standardize how judges approach things. ... If every call was black and white, they would not need an official scorer. These are judgment calls. They can go either way.”

The streamlined appeals process is just one change in how baseball is handling official scorers this season.

MLB also brought at least

one scorer from every city to New York this offseason to try to bring common standards to an admittedly subjective process.

Like past efforts to try and make strike zones consistent from umpire to umpire, MLB wants scoring decisions applied consistently.

“We want more uniformity of calls,” MLB senior vice president Phyllis Merhige said.

“A little less variation of what gets called one way in one city and different in another city or among different scorers in the same city.”

To help achieve that, scorers looked at tapes of last year’s appealed and overturned calls and had breakout sessions addressing press box announcements, how to deal with a ball getting lost in the sun or lights, sacrifice bunts and defensive indifference.

One of the most specific sessions was led by Tampa Bay scorer Bill Mathews, who is also the head baseball coach at Eckerd College. He gave scorers clues on what to look for in terms of how hard a ball is hit, the angle a player takes and a fielder’s position when a ball is caught.

“There’s still human judgment,” Mathews said.

“Scoring is about judgment, feel and knowledge of the game. It’s about making tough decisions under pressure at the right time. That’s what makes it fun. I’d say 94 percent of plays are a piece of cake.

That 6 percent are what you take home and lose sleep over because you just want to get it right.”

There has been a strong trend leading to fewer errors in the big leagues with the 11 highest fielding percentages of all-time coming in the past 11 seasons.

Errors per game have dropped about 25 percent the past 40 years because of better fielding, improved groundskeeping, better replays that allow scorers to see bad hops or other factors that could change an error to a hit.

Some also believe scorers today are less likely to hand out errors and more likely to give batters the benefit of the doubt with a hit.

But many players still believe scorers are too quick to call errors, failing to recognize how difficult it is to get a hit or field a ball cleanly in the big leagues.

“In Toronto, they mostly score hits as errors,” Blue Jays infielder Omar Vizquel said.

“The guy is pretty tough. He must have 10 Gold Gloves because he can make every play out there. I don’t know if it’s something personal or if he knows about baseball. Sometimes there are some calls that are very questionable.”

Continued from D1 “You’ve got the two best teams in the league right now going against each other,” Wade said Saturday, when practices resumed after a day off for both clubs.

“So it’s going to be a very tough game, but we have to find a way to win it. And it’s about taking, like I said, one possession at a time, one second, one minute at a time to make sure we reach our goal — and that’s to win the game.”

A Game 3 victory assures nothing, a lesson the Heat learned the hard way last year. That win in Dallas was Miami’s final victory of the season.

But there are certain truths that will come from the outcome tonight. The winner will have homecourt advantage. The winner will be two games away from a championship. And the losing club will see what appears to be an already razor-thin margin for error in this series become even more precarious.

“We have no other choice,” said Thunder star Kevin Durant, the league’s scoring champion. “We lost at home. Tough loss. We’ve got to get over it, get ready for a tough Game 3. You know, the series is going to be tough. We know that.

We know that. You’ve just got to be ready. It’s going to be a fun one.”

By now, the Heat aren’t shy to say they’re completely exhausted about dissecting what went wrong in last year’s finals. Still, they know the importance of not letting one loss turn into another — because when that happened against the Mavericks a year ago, there was a parade in Dallas not long afterward.

“I don’t know if we were any more motivated in Game 2,” Erik Spoelstra said. “What we were was angry about our performance in Game 1. ... You want to throw your best punches out there, and may the best team win.

We didn’t throw our best punches in Game 1.”

Add up the numbers from the first two games of the series, and it turns into something close to a statistical dead heat.

Both teams are shooting 47 percent. Both have made 14 tries from threepoint range (though Miami is shooting a better percentage). The Thunder have grabbed four more rebounds, the Heat whistled for two more fouls. The Thunder outscored Miami by 16 points in the paint during their Game 1 win; the Heat outscored the Thunder by 16 points in the paint during their victory in Game 2.

Of course, the only stat that really matters is the one that’s identical: one win

each, headed into today.

And if the young Thunder were supposed to be rattled by losing the home-court edge, no one told them.

“We have all the right pieces, from the best scorer in the league, most athletic point guard in the league to the best shot blocker to the best post defender, best wing defender and our bench is one of the best,” James Harden said.

“This is a perfect team. We are young guns. We get it done. It has to start in Game 3.”

Even their young-looking coach doesn’t sound worried about the stakes the Thunder will face.

“I’ve seen all year long a group that’s always committed, that always sticks by one another, that believes in the work that we put in,” Scott Brooks said. “And that’s who they are. It’s not going to change.

They’ve always had great ability to bounce back after a tough loss and we expect the guys to come back (Sunday) night with better effort, better play and for 48 minutes.”

The Heat expect the same.

It’s no secret that falling short last year has been a source of inspiration throughout this season for James and the Heat, and that continues even now.

“I’m enjoying it,” James said. “I’m having fun with these first two games. I mean, this is a great opportunity for myself and for our team, for both teams. It’s a lot of fun being out there and competing at a high level, you know, the intense moment where every possession counts. That’s what it’s all about. As a competitor you have to enjoy these moments and you love these moments.”

Charity Continued from D1 After all, if you want to play the equivalent of 5½ rounds of golf in a single day, four-hour rounds are not an option.

A golf cart is part of the deal, and golfers can drive it right to the edge of the green. The round starts at 6:30 a.m., but Tetherow provides all the food and drink — including adult beverages — a marathon golfer could want. Tetherow also implements time-friendly rules such as a threeputt maximum and playing lost balls like lateral hazards.

In other words, there is no time to overthink a shot.

“That’s what I really got from that,” says Zadow, who will not play in this year’s marathon because of a planned family vacation to Arizona.

“You feel like if you mess up a shot, it’s like: ‘That’s OK, I have another 400 shots to improve on it,’ ” Zadow says with a laugh.

Van der Velde, who is the 47-year-old managing partner of Tetherow, and his team dreamed up the marathon last spring after van der Velde was disappointed with some of the course’s more traditional fundraising efforts, which would raise decent money but largely go unnoticed.

So Tetherow changed its focus to finding a more enjoyable and unique format.

“You can have some fun with these things if you do the right stuff,” van der Velde says. “I figured if you do the right thing you could probably raise 50 (thousand) to 100,000 (dollars) a year and really move the needle. That would be cool.”

That kind of money is still a ways away. But the cool part has already arrived.

Last year, 12 of the 17 participating golfers finished all 100 holes. And van der Velde and Zadow, among others, kept going just to finish out their sixth round.

Van der Velde, who had one knee replaced in 2010 and another last fall, had little problem getting around the course. He even played well enough to shoot a 67 in the third round, he recalls.

“I was feeling better than I thought I would,” van der Velde said. “I was tired. Then the dinner (the marathon includes a three-course dinner reception) was good, and I don’t think I went to bed before 9 or 10 that night. It’s not like I was exhausted and just collapsed on the couch.”

Zadow, who was playing with his brother-inlaw, had one goal for the day: make par at least once on each of the golf course’s 18 holes.

After 100 holes he still had one yet to par: Tetherow’s treacherous par-4 16th hole. Zadow made par on the par-3 14th hole. Then he scored a 4 on the 15th, a par 4. Then came the 16th and pay dirt — another par. Two more holes to play and Zadow made par on those, too, to finish on a five-hole streak of pars.

Not bad.

“It takes me a while to warm up, apparently,” he jokes.

Finish on a run like that and you might want to play some more. And if not for dinner being served, Zadow might have.

Looking back on it, after all, he wasn’t THAT tired.

“I don’t know, for some reason getting up early, starting early, and mentally I think the focus is not as intense as playing in a full round and your scoring is not quite as important,” he says.

Maybe we should all golf like we’ve already played 100.

INDYCAR

Hunter-Reay wins at Milwaukee

By Chris Jenkins The Associated Press

WEST ALLIS, Wis. — As long as his boss went to the trouble of bringing IndyCar racing back to the Milwaukee Mile, Ryan Hunter-Reay figured he might as well bring home the winner’s trophy.

Hunter-Reay took the lead from Helio Castroneves on the 142nd lap, didn’t cough it up on a couple of restarts and held on to the IndyCar race Saturday at the Milwaukee Mile.

It was a doubly sweet win for Michael Andretti, who fields cars for Hunter-Reay as a team owner and served as the event promoter for the race.

“It really is amazing,” HunterReay said. “Milwaukee has been so important to IndyCar for so long, and I think this is a huge event for Milwaukee. These two belong together. So I really thank Michael for sticking his neck out, coming back here and really doing it the right way.”

It was the sixth career victory and first this season for Hunter-Reay. He also won at Milwaukee in 2004 in the nowdefunct Champ Car Series, starting from the pole and leading every lap.

Tony Kanaan was second, followed by James Hinchcliffe, Oriol Servia and E.J. Viso.

Scott Dixon had to serve a drive-through penalty for jumping a restart and finished 11th. He questioned the penalty immediately afterward — and as it turns out, he was right.

“I’m actually very excited to see what the hell they’re talking about,” Dixon said. “I’m disappointed.”

IndyCar race director Beaux Barfield acknowledged after the race that officials made a mistake. He said a failure in their timing and scoring sys-

tem caused them to look at the wrong replay.

What officials looked at was a replay of a previous restart that was waved off by officials at the time and didn’t count.

Dixon did commit a potential infraction on that restart — but he didn’t do so on the subsequent restart that ended up counting and should not have been penalized.

“It was obviously the wrong call, based on the reality of the situation,” Barfield said.

Barfield took responsibility for the mistake, and said Chip Ganassi Racing officials were “very gracious” when presented with an explanation.

Barfield said there wasn’t anything officials can do to undo the mistake.

Last year’s Milwaukee winner, Dario Franchitti, started

from pole position and dominated the early stages of the race. But he fell back in the field and then spun out and hit the wall on lap 195.

Franchitti tangled with Ryan Briscoe shortly before he spun, and said afterward that contact might have broken something on his car.

“I was on Ryan’s inside, but he just kept coming down there,” Franchitti said. “I just don’t think his spotter told him I was there.”

Points leader Will Power finished 12th. Hinchcliffe moved up to second in the points.

It was a boost for the historic but financially troubled Milwaukee track, which has been hosting racing since 1903 but originally was left off the 2012 IndyCar schedule after not hosting any major racing

events in 2010 and drawing a lackluster crowd for IndyCar last year.

Milwaukee was put back on this year’s schedule after Andretti agreed to serve as the race’s promoter — and Andretti announced just before Saturday’s race that the event would return in 2013.

“We’re going to be back here next year, and hopefully for a long time after that,” Andretti said.

Despite the race being a late addition to the schedule — and then a rain delay that pushed the start back — the race drew a significantly better crowd than last year.

Franchitti was untouchable in the early stages of the race, leading the first 60-plus laps before making his first pit stop.

The race went green until Si-

mona de Silvestro spun on lap 67, bringing out a caution.

Franchitti was shuffled back to fourth on the restart, after a few drivers were on pit road when the caution came out — including Viso, who took the lead on the restart.

Justin Wilson then blew an engine on lap 94, pulling to the

inside wall and scrambling to get out of the car when it briefly caught fire. It was a tough reversal of fortune for Wilson, who won last week at Texas.

After a round of pit stops under caution, Castroneves — who didn’t pit after Wilson’s incident — took the lead.

With Castroneves’ tires later wearing out, Hunter-Reay waited for the right moment, then passed him for the lead on lap 142.

“We pounced,” Hunter-Reay said. “We were right there ready to go when somebody slipped up.”

Kanaan is known for his aggressiveness on restarts, but said he was just worried about not getting passed on restarts and defending his position during Saturday’s race.

“Do you even know how to do that?” Hinchcliffe asked jokingly in the post-race news conference.

Kanaan took the good-natured ribbing in stride, answering, “I do not know how to do that.”

MOTOR SPORTS ROUNDUP

Joey Logano races to fifth Nationwide win of year The Associated Press BROOKLYN, Mich. — Joey Logano followed up his Sprint Cup victory at Pocono last weekend with a win on the Nationwide Series on Saturday at Michigan International Speedway.

Logano held off James Buescher for his fifth Nationwide win of the year and 14th of his career. He has won four of the past five races in the No. 18 Joe Gibbs Racing Toyota.

“I’ve just had a lot of confidence in myself lately and my abilities and knowing what I can do,” Logano said. “There hasn’t been an opportunity that we let slip up yet.”

Kurt Busch, back from a one-week suspension, finished third.

There was a red flag with seven laps to go after an accident involving Josh Richards and Jamie Dick. Flames shot briefly out of Dick’s car, but both drivers were evaluated and released after the crash.

Buescher tried to pass Logano on the inside in the final seconds but wasn’t able to.

“We took a shot at it at the end,” Buescher said. “As long as you’re in position, that’s all you can ask for.”

Logano took only a couple questions before leaving for an extra practice for Sprint Cup racers Saturday night. The Cup cars have been exceeding 200 mph this week, and NASCAR made a tire switch for today’s race. Logano was anxious to make it to practice after the Nationwide race, but was told he had to take a couple questions in the media room first.

“It’s killing me right now,” Logano said. “I learned a lot that I need to go work on in my Home Depot car.”

Danica Patrick went into an early spin and finished 18th after a problem-filled race.

Pole winner Austin Dillon finished fifth.

still driving.

He’s an owner now, but when Marcos Ambrose won the Sprint Cup pole at Michigan International Speedway for Richard Petty Motorsports, the Hall of Famer was on hand to put the accomplishment in perspective. Ambrose posted a speed of 203.241 mph, the first time since 1987 the 200 mph mark was broken during Sprint Cup qualifying.

“I can’t hardly remember that far back,” Petty said. “To be able to do it on a flatter race track, not Daytona or Talladega, that is unheard of.”

Ambrose made his first Sprint Cup pole a memorable one on a day 19 drivers surpassed 200 mph on the newly paved surface at MIS. Speeds have been soaring since drivers began testing sessions, and NASCAR decided to alter the left-side tires for the race today, but that change didn’t affect qualifying.

The last pole winner to break 200 mph in this series was Bill Elliott, a quartercentury ago at Talladega.

Ambrose had the 11th-fastest pole-winning speed in series history.

Brown, Tasca, Johnson top NHRA qualifying BRISTOL, Tenn. — Antron Brown retained the No. 1 position in Top Fuel qualifying, and Bob Tasca and Allen Johnson also kept the top spots in the NHRA Thunder Valley Nationals.

Brown set both ends of Bristol Dragway’s Top Fuel track records during his second qualifying attempt Friday night with a 3.814-second pass at 323.12 mph.

Tasca topped the Funny Car field with his Friday night pass of 4.063 seconds at 310.48 mph.

Excellence is under challenge

M

aybe it takes a recession. And a severe one at that to make us consider what’s critically important to the future.

After all, you can’t look out unless you’re in the cave, you can’t look over the edge unless you are at the brink.

Across the country, there is a renewed focus on higher education.

Some of that comes from the revolution in online education, some of it from the enormous and escalating cost of a degree. But a lot of it comes from the recognition that more than ever, advanced education is the irreplaceable ingredient for success.

In Central Oregon, there is heightened excitement over the strong possibility that the Cascades branch of Oregon State University will expand dramatically.

It’s hard for anyone who was involved in the birth of the branch a decade ago, when friends were hard to find, not to be both astonished and gratified at the growing success of that institution. If there’s a moral to this story, it’s that tenacity and effective leadership go a long way.

But successful education has other required elements, among which a commitment to excellence is the most vital and the most difficult to define.

Making sure that everyone gets a diploma or a degree is worthy.

That’s Gov. John Kitzhaber’s goal.

The governor is committed to a 40/40/20 plan, which translated means — although the language is open for interpretation — that by 2025, 40 percent of students will earn a bachelor’s degree, 40 percent will have an associate’s or career certificate and the remaining 20 percent will have a high school diploma.

No question that a highly educated population and workforce are critical for a state and nation’s future.

But what is the relationship between a degree or diploma and a meaningful education? Are we just pumping people through, or are we really lifting them up?

Two weeks ago, the University of Virginia, one of the nation’s finest public universities, fired its president, Teresa Sullivan, who lasted only two years at the helm of a university, founded by Thomas Jefferson, which prides itself on the long tenure of its leadership.

The official reason for the dismissal is couched in the usual bureaucratic gobbledygook of “differences in philosophy” between Sullivan and the appointed Board of Visitors of the university.

But The Washington Post reported this week that the rupture occurred after Sullivan offered the board a memo listing strategic concerns, which effectively questioned the future excellence of the prestigious university.

According to The Post, Sullivan’s Academic Strategy memo, “… identified five areas of broad concern.

“First, a siloed budgeting model that frustrates innovation and collaboration.

“Second, a projection that fully half of the U-Va. faculty will depart by 2020, mainly because of retirement.

“Third, a ‘reputation gap’: In many academic areas, Sullivan suggests, the university is ‘reputed to be better than we actually are.’

“Fourth, the ‘fragile’ Top 10 stature of many university departments and professional schools, driven by a precariously small number of actual academic stars.

“Lastly, … overhauling the curriculum to lavish far more attention on upper-level classes and to convert many lower-level courses to a ‘hybrid’ model, partly delivered online. Her reasoning: Many U-Va. students arrive already having taken many introductory courses as Advanced Placement or International Baccalaureate-level classes in high school.”

It must be particularly difficult for the board of a vaunted institution for its designated leader to suggest that its excellence is under challenge.

But in Oregon’s race to get everyone something, its leaders should pay particular attention to Sullivan’s warnings that numbers and preconceptions cannot substitute for excellence in education.

ANALYSIS

Testing negative • Research increasingly shows that frequent medical exams – like physicals, Pap smears, lab work, EKGs, mammograms – have no benefits and may be harmful, so why do Americans keep getting them?

By Elisabeth Rosenthal New York Times News Service

F

or decades, scientific research has shown that annual physical

exams — and many of the screening tests that routinely accompany them — are in many ways pointless or (worse) dangerous, because they can lead to unneeded procedures.

The last few years have produced a steady stream of new evidence against the utility of popular tests: Prostate specific antigen blood tests to detect prostate cancer? No longer recommended by the U.S. Preventive Services Task Force.

Routine EKGs? No use.

Yearly Pap smears? Nope.

So why do Americans, nearly alone on the planet, remain so devoted to the ritual physical exam and to all of these tests, and why do so many doctors continue to provide them? Indeed, the last decade has seen a boom in what hospitals and health care companies call “executive physicals” — batteries of screening exams for apparently healthy people, purporting to ferret out hidden disease with the zeal of Homeland Security officers searching for terrorists.

E Privacy concerns not big enough to block FISA

O

The Bulletin AN INDEPENDENT NEWSPAPER

Chairwoman Publisher Editor-in-Chief Editor of Editorials

regon Sen. Ron Wyden’s hold on the renewal of the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act highlights an important privacy concern for Americans. It would

be wrong, though, to block FISA from being reauthorized.

FISA gives the intelligence community a nimble tool to collect communications about terrorists and other enemies overseas. It essentially does not require a warrant. The legislation is due to sunset on Dec. 31. The reauthorization would extend it through June 2017.

Wyden, a Democrat, put a hold on that bill. If he didn’t, the reauthorization could pass the Senate on a quick voice vote.

Wyden would prefer a shorter reauthorization to give Congress time to consider FISA’s impact.

Others have gone further — far too far — insisting FISA’s reauthorization should be blocked until Congress gets more answers.

Wyden doesn’t dispute that FISA has been useful. He is concerned it could be used to circumvent traditional warrant requirements for Americans.

Communications from Americans in the United States are inevitably swept up in FISA searches.

Wyden wants a ballpark number of how often that happens. He also wants more protections in place to ensure there are not warrantless searches of those communications.

The reply from the intelligence community has been that it is not “reasonably possible� to identify

the number of people in the United States whose communications have been reviewed.

A different answer about what is reasonably possible may be coming.

Wyden and Sen. Mark Udall, DColorado, have requested a review by inspectors general in the intelligence community to determine if it is feasible to get an estimate.

We can see how concern about that unknown number would drive Wyden to put a hold on the bill. It is also not hard to imagine scenarios in which there could be a legitimate intelligence need to analyze data already collected. More importantly, there are already guidelines requiring a court order before an American can be targeted under FISA. But also consider what little we do know about how FISA is used.

Senate intelligence chairwoman Sen. Dianne Feinstein, D-Calif., says there have been relatively few incidents of non-compliance with the law. They were inadvertent — human error or technical defect.

She wrote that no willful efforts have been found to circumvent or violate the law.

Wyden raises important privacy questions but that does not mean that the bill should be blocked.

Job training program should be adaptable

A

n audit from Secretary of State Kate Brown’s office says the state faces a shortage of bookkeepers, preschool teachers and legal secretaries in the coming years. Central Oregon won’t have enough pharmacy technicians, the report says, but the state could end up with too many massage therapists and medical transcriptionists.

The audit looks at ways to match job training with workforce demand, focusing on the so-called middle-skill jobs that require some post-high school training, but less than a bachelors degree.

It’s an important issue, especially in a time of high joblessness, and it’s been cited in national reports of employers who say they can’t find qualified employees.

Focusing attention on the issue has value, especially as the Oregon Education Investment Board works to develop its new goals, which include having 40 percent of the state’s residents earn a post-high school certificate or associates degree.

We’re not so sure, though, about the audit’s monetary recommendations. One suggests using incen-

tives to encourage career and technical programs for specific jobs or industries. Industry moves quickly and government moves slowly, making it unlikely such incentives could be applied effectively.

The other urges the state to provide more funding for career and technical training. We can’t evaluate that without knowing far more detail, such as what other program would lose those resources and how such programs could remain timely and relevant.

These workforce training issues get attention from the Oregon Workforce Investment Board and the Department of Community Colleges and Workforce Development, in addition to the education system. Additional collaboration among the three groups — as recommended by the audit — clearly has potential to make their efforts more effective.

In a time of climbing tuition and growing student debt loads, it’s critical to focus on assuring graduates are trained for jobs that exist.

It’s just as important to educate students who can adapt to a changing job market.

End state-funded abortions

By Jeff Jimerson growing, grassroots movement of concerned citizens — fueled by a passion for freedom, and armed with the facts — have created a rare opportunity to set Oregon taxpayers free from being forced to spend $1.5 million on 3,500 abortions every year.

If you’re like most people we talk with, you’ll be surprised to learn how anyone with an Oregon Health Plan card in their pocket can receive an unlimited number of “free� abortions for any reason at any time, at taxpayer expense. Truth be told, one-third of all abortions in Oregon today are fully funded with our state tax dollars. In other words, if you pay taxes in Oregon you pay for abortions in Oregon.

These hidden truths are being brought to light through Oregon 2012 Initiative No. 25 — www.Oregon2012.org — and the work of countless volunteers across the state, myself included, now racing to gather enough signatures for voters to weigh in this November. We need at least 150,000 signatures by July 2.

Not everyone’s happy with this effort. Some opposing groups are labeling Initiative No. 25 as “antichoice.� And that, in a word, is nonsense.

For anyone who is honest about giving people freedom to choose, and for anyone who specifically believes taxpayers should have choices with how their money is being spent — especially concerning highly controversial issues such as abortion — then Initiative No. 25 is by definition “pro-choice� because it creates a choice that currently doesn’t exist.

A

I N MY VIEW I’ve witnessed people sign our petition who have confessed to supporting abortion rights. The reality is, not everyone who wants access to abortion wants to pay for someone else to have the procedure.

How so?

Today in Oregon, if an individual wishes to fund abortions, they have the freedom to send a personal contribution to their favorite abortion provider. It’s their checkbook after all. They can do what they want with it.

However, at the same time millions in state tax dollars are now going directly to these same abortion providers — many of which are for-profit businesses — in the form of state reimbursement payments for services rendered. Thousands of Oregon taxpayers, like me, who don’t wish to fund abortions now have no way to opt-out. This initiative gives us that choice.

Here’s something else that might shock you. I’ve witnessed people sign our petition who have confessed to supporting abortion rights. The reality is, not everyone who wants access to abortion wants to pay for someone else to have the procedure.

As one woman who signed our petition told me, “I support abortion rights, but that doesn’t mean I want to pay for abortions.� Initiative No.

25 would give her the freedom she desires.

On the back of our petition sheets you’ll find these 27 simple words: “No public funds shall be used to pay for any abortion, except to save the life of the mother or as may be required by federal law.� This easyto-understand statement is free from complicated “legalese� and it covers the bases by protecting the mother’s life, as well as acknowledging federal law that allows for funding abortions in cases of rape and incest.

The federal Hyde Amendment — which prohibits the use of federal tax dollars from funding abortions except in the rare circumstances described above — has been the law for 35 years. But individual states can still spend their own money as they wish. Our initiative brings Oregon up to speed with how most of the country has been handling abortion funding for decades. Let abortion remain a private issue, and let it be funded with private — not public — money.

Initiative No. 25 is a normal, mainstream concept we believe — and public opinion surveys confirm — the majority of Oregon voters will support on election day.

Oregonians are a diverse people with a wide range of personal beliefs and opinions on the difficult subject of abortion. Not everyone fits neatly into a “pro-life� or “pro-choice� box.

Initiative No. 25 is a fair and balanced approach to finding common ground on this often-polarizing issue. It doesn’t block anyone from choosing abortion. It gives taxpayers freedom to choose. It belongs on the November ballot. — Jeff Jimerson is co-chief petitioner for Oregon 2012 Initiative No. 25.

Some students in U.S. wish they were ‘not special’

By Yvonne Abraham The Boston Globe

“I

feel like Dorothy Gale, plucked up by the tornado� in the Wizard of Oz, David McCullough Jr. says.

A couple of weeks ago, McCullough — son of the well-known author — was a fairly anonymous and enormously beloved English teacher at Wellesley High School. Now he’s a YouTube superstar, more popular than even roller-skating parrots.

His trip to Oz comes via a commencement speech he gave at Wellesley High on June 1. So far, the video of that address — now known as the “You Are Not Special� speech — has been viewed more than a million times.

He has fielded calls from Australia, Germany and Israel. And, in what is probably a first for anything remotely

connected with Wellesley, the speech is even admired by Rush Limbaugh, who recently made it the subject of one of his frothing, free-verse rants.

The part of the speech everybody has focused on “sounds like a slap-down of spoiled rich kids,� McCullough says. “Yes, you’ve been pampered, cosseted, doted upon, helmeted, bubblewrapped,� he told graduating seniors. “Yes, capable adults with other things to do have held you, kissed you, fed you, wiped your mouth, wiped your bottom, trained you, taught you, tutored you, coached you, listened to you, counseled you, encouraged you, consoled you, and encouraged you again. ... But do not get the idea you’re anything special. Because you’re not.�

Nobody on the football field that afternoon was offended by these words.

Students knew that McCullough was teasing them. And the speech was far more than that one passage: His point, beautifully rendered, was that students should forgo easy accolades in favor of genuine achievements, that they should “resist the easy comforts of complacency, the specious glitter of materialism, the narcotic paralysis of self-satisfaction.�

But it’s the slap-down part of the speech driving those YouTube clicks.

Because it speaks to a popular view of kids today — that they’re coddled and overpraised, that a culture in which everybody gets a trophy spawns a generation of adults who think they deserve prizes for showing up.

This is, of course, a largely middleclass phenomenon. The only reason McCullough can playfully take his students down a peg or two is that they’re

up so many pegs to begin with.

His is not the kind of commencement address one would ever hear at the Phoenix Charter Academy in Chelsea, for example. Few of the students there could be described as coddled. They’re kids other schools, and even some of their parents, have given up on.

Beth Anderson, the school’s executive director, has seen scores of her students achieve superhuman feats, overcoming overwhelming disadvantages to graduate and go to colleges they thought they’d never see. “For Wellesley, (McCullough) is right, and I thought his speech was pretty uplifting,� she says. “What occurred to me is how much our students have to battle ... to become one of the many unspecial students who are graduating this year.�

There’s only one word to describe those kids. “I have to call them special,� says Mary Skipper, headmaster at TechBoston Academy in Dorchester. “They are.�

All but a few of this year’s 88 TechBoston graduates are going on to college, most to four-year schools.

Many of them will be the first in their families to finish high school or attend college.

Anderson and Skipper want their graduates’ children to have all the advantages their parents didn’t — to one day find themselves listening to a commencement speaker ribbing them for being overpraised, saying, as McCullough did, “none of you is exceptional.� — Yvonne Abraham is a columnist for The Boston Globe.

C No accountability in phone service

By Harold Meyerson Los Angeles Times

H

ave you ever heard anyone — anyone — rave about their phone carrier’s service? Say, “Wow, that customer service rep solved my problem in no time flat?”

If you haven’t, there’s a reason: The companies don’t compete on service. Indeed, their service contracts are designed to keep you from jumping to other carriers unless you pony up several hundred bucks.

“Phone carriers aren’t trying to gain consumers through quality service,” says Parul Desai, the communications policy counsel for Consumers Union. No phone company “says we’ll take care of this; we’ll come right over and fix it.”

They have no reason to: Their mandatory arbitration clauses make it all but impossible for disgruntled customers to sue them, and their early termination fees lock those customers into their contracts. In a 2009 Government Accountability Office survey, mobile phone users said they wouldn’t switch carriers because of those fees. Sen. Amy Klobuchar, D-Minn., introduced a bill that year that would have limited those charges, but it didn’t go anyplace.

I admit that I paid no attention at the time to Klobuchar’s bill, but I sure will the next time it’s introduced. Here’s why: Last month, after a night of unmemorable music, I emerged from a Washington jazz club to find I had been transported to Kafka’s Castle.

I’d silenced my phone during the performance, and when I turned it back on, I could neither make nor receive calls or messages. Instead, I got a strange recording when calling voicemail: “Your account could not be validated,” it said. “Please contact customer services.”

Using my girlfriend’s phone, I called Sprint, my carrier, and got routed to its service center in the Philippines. The guy on the other end informed me I had terminated my account and switched to AT&T. I explained I had done no such thing, whereupon he transferred me to another representative, who also told me I had terminated my account and switched to AT&T. Which I again disputed. Thirty minutes and three such conversations later — each unfolding as though the earlier conversations had never taken place — I was told I would be transferred to a manager who would straighten things out. Then the line went dead.

Undaunted, I called back. Three more employees told me that I’d gone over to AT&T. I disputed it, was put on hold and was cut off yet again.

The next morning I finally got through to Mr. Fix-It. I’d been “ported out,” he told me — phone company lingo for what happens when you terminate your account to go to another carrier. With me on the line, he dialed AT&T’s customer service center. Then we began working our way through AT&T’s labyrinth, finally reaching that company’s fix-it gal.

A three-way, sporadically audible investigation of what had happened then ensued. By my third hour on the call, I had surveyed the complete collection of both companies’ hold music and announcements. My favorite was AT&T’s coda to several of its product advertisements: “Because your time should be spent enjoying life, not waiting for it to catch up.”

Eventually, the AT&T lady figured out that a fellow Washingtonian who lives in my ZIP Code and had an account number identical to mine — which sounds impossible, but that’s what she said — had switched to AT&T. Apparently, the Sprint guy

admitted, his company’s computer, having found a match or near-match of some identifying numbers, had terminated my account, even though the other guy and I had different names, street addresses, phone numbers and birthmarks. “Sprint computers do that,” he said.

I was instructed to report to a nearby AT&T store with two photo IDs and three Sprint bills to prove I was me. Once I did, and the AT&T lady received confirmation from the store clerk — still via my girlfriend’s phone — she told the Sprint guy that I could return to Sprint’s fold.

The AT&T person signed off with “Thank you for choosing AT&T,” which, I was compelled to point out, was precisely what I hadn’t done.

The Sprint guy then began porting me back — a process, he said, that would reactivate my phone within 48 hours. He also said that my next Sprint bill probably would include a $200-plus fee for terminating my contract early and a $36 fee for reactivating my phone, but added that I “could dispute it.” He then scampered off the line. I’d been on the phone for 4 hours and 35 minutes.

Three days later, when I called Sprint to complain that I still didn’t have my service back, they once again dropped the call — that’s three out of four calls dropped, if you’re keeping score at home. A few days after that, still service-less, I dropped by a Verizon store to open a new account. I told them I’d like to keep my phone number. They then discovered that AT&T had not ported the number back to Sprint, as both AT&T and Sprint assured me had been done. AT&T, in a three-way call with Verizon, told me that my account had been transferred to their fraud unit, which was closed for the weekend. When I called on Monday, the fraud unit told me they

didn’t have the account; it was in AT&T’s porting office after all.

By then, I’d overheard the name and address of the party whose account had been confused with mine.

He was a fellow Washingtonian currently in Kabul, Afghanistan. I emailed him and he graciously responded. Turns out he had indeed switched his service from Sprint to AT&T. His phone number is the same as mine except that two sequential digits are reversed, and he shares my ZIP Code. That was apparently enough for either Sprint or AT&T to transpose my account number with his and switch off my service.

And, I fear, his service too. AT&T finally ported over my account to Verizon after I thought to mention that, because I wasn’t their customer and had no contract with them, I wasn’t bound by their mandatory arbitration agreement: I was, in short, free to sue. When they ported over my account, however, I heard the AT&T person tell the Verizon person that my fellow Washingtonian had just lost his service in the process. It’s a zero-sum game, I guess.

I had gone 12 days without service.

What have I learned from all this, other than that we need something like Kolbuchar’s bill to compel the carriers to improve their service?

First, have a girlfriend or some significant other close by during such encounters to dissuade you from throwing things and hurting passersby. Second, live in a ZIP Code where you’re the only resident. And third, avoid phone carriers that drop not only your calls but also your account and then promise to bill you for it.

I’d call Sprint and tell them that, but they’d only drop the call.

S

ome things in life never change. For one, Uncle Sam will always waste billions on subsidies to farmers.

A renewal of the nation’s main farm and food-aid bill is making its way through Congress, reminding us yet again (as if we needed a reminder!) of what’s wrong with the way things work in Washington.

But first let me get the ritual denunciations out of the way. Like its predecessors over the years, this new farm bill offers juicy giveaways to agribusiness under the guise of helping the couple with the pitchfork in the famous Grant Wood painting. To be sure, three-quarters of the bill’s trillion dollar cost over the next decade would be for nutrition programs (mainly food stamps). But this aid for the needy is yoked to $140 billion in agricultural subsidies.

There’s a lot of self-congratulation going on in Congress right now because the new Senate farm bill,

unlike the law currently in place, eliminates $5 billion a year in fixed annual subsidies — essentially, free cash — for farmers.

But the bill does contain costly new versions of crop insurance that will transfer more of the risk of farming onto the backs of taxpayers, whose sacroiliacs are already pretty sore from bearing the risks of Fannie Mae, Freddie Mac and the toobig-to-fail banks.

We’ll get a wasteful farm bill no matter how much policy wonks and pundits jump up and down. The question is whether we can learn anything from the persistence of this ridiculous program.

I think we can. Federal aid to agriculture got going in a big way during the Great Depression, when many farmers, like the Joads in “The Grapes of Wrath,” were desperate.

But these policies have endured long past the conditions they were meant to remedy.

Before long the land was covered in a crazy-quilt of farm programs,

many of them contradictory. Over the years, laws and tax dollars have been used to prop up the price of healthy items like milk and fruit, which should be more affordable, and to subsidize the production of a lethal weed — tobacco. Farmers have been discouraged from planting high-water crops in wet places, and encouraged to plant them in dry ones. Each market intervention seemed to require offsetting new ones, as with a patient who takes medication to counteract the effects of other medications.

And where, you might ask, is the outcry in Congress? Conservatives should be complaining of agricultural socialism. Liberals should condemn corporate welfare cloaked in denim overalls. Both sides would be right.

Alas, such cries are faint because by now, everyone takes farm subsidies for granted. Every state, including the ones mainly full of soybeans, has two senators. Iowa is an important presidential primary venue.

And democracy is about compro-

Bloomberg News

WASHINGTON — he White House messed up its history. That’s the contention of critics who pointed to references recently appended to the biography pages of past presidents on the White House website.

Scholars of Calvin Coolidge, the president who is our focus, found an error. The Coolidge “Did You Know?” item says that “On Feb. 22, 1924, Calvin Coolidge became the first president to make a public radio address to the American people.”

Alas, Coolidge was not the first, as a retired archivist with the National Archives and Records Administration, Jerry Wallace, noted in an email to us. The first chief executive to deliver a radio address was Warren G. Harding, whose dedication of the Lincoln Memorial was carried over the airwaves on May 30, 1922.

What the White House did was introduce its own comments and facts to the extant biographies of the presidents on the White House pages. Some commentators such as Seth Mandel at Contentions, the Commentary magazine blog, interpret the effort to draw such parallels as an intrusion on past presidents.

Mandel sees the Obama administration comments as evidence that the president, like many of his young devotees, doesn’t “have much mem-

T

ory of the political world before the arrival of The One.” The real story here is not the specific Coolidge error or whether you like the new White House comments. It is that accurate history is becoming much harder to deliver than it used to be. The Internet and databases have raised the bar for all writing on history. Your author, a student of Coolidge, discovered this firsthand in researching an iconic quote long attributed to Silent Cal. Coolidge endured severe setbacks in life. Yet he persevered. The Coolidge quotation that captures that perseverance best was printed in a pamphlet in the 1930s by New York Life Insurance Co., where the 30th president served as a director: “Nothing in this world can take the place of persistence. Talent will not; nothing is more common than unsuccessful people with talent. Genius will not; unrewarded genius is almost a proverb. Education will not; the world is full of educated derelicts.

Persistence and determination alone are omnipotent. The slogan ‘press on’ has solved and will always solve the problem of the human race.”

Historians have slammed anyone who dared suggest it was not uttered

by Coolidge. In the 1990s, the “Dear Abby” advice column attributed the quotation to Ray Kroc, the wizard behind McDonald’s. It was promptly corrected by the late Lawrence Wi-

kander, curator of the Coolidge Memorial Room at the Forbes Library in Coolidge’s adult hometown of Northampton, Mass.

Abby published Wikander’s note in her column: “After Coolidge retired from public life, he served as a director of the New York Life Insurance Co., and his inspirational statement was distributed to that company’s agents in the 1930s.”

“Persistence” has appeared in anthology after anthology down the decades, including the Yale Book of Quotations (Page 173, 2006) and William Safire’s book “Good Advice.”

But we found evidence that suggests the quotation was probably not Coolidge’s. The discovery occurs now because of technology, specifically the advent of searchable PDF files.

Delve into obscure trade journals or regional newspapers and you’ll find “persistence” cited in the Middletown (New York) Daily Times Press in November 1914 — again without credit. In 1910, when Coolidge was still a very junior politician, “persistence” was published in the Locomotive Engineers’ Monthly Journal and the Crockery and Glass Journal without any attribution.

In 1956, Norman Vincent Peale wrote that a Chicago real estate mogul, Arthur Rubloff, hung “persistence” on his wall, believing it to be an old Arabic verse.

Sandusky exploited parental absences

It remains conceivable that Coolidge did write “persistence,” perhaps as a very young Northampton Republican. But it’s doubtful. It is also doubtful that he intentionally plagiarized. Coolidge wrote his own speeches much of the time and removed one he hadn’t written from a collection to be published, probably because it was not his.

The more likely sequence was that Coolidge cited “persistence,” the quote was attributed to him and he did not notice. The only sure thing one can say at this point about Coolidge and “persistence” is that our article is not definitive. It is an update. More to come.

The same tentativeness holds for the White House website, which will doubtless see updates; the little bullets that might be wrong will be corrected far faster than they would have been in the days before, say, the arrival of the database ProQuest, or before Twitter. All history is accelerating.

The historian Pieter Geyl called history “an argument without end” and said “that is why we love it so.”

Because of technology, this old argument can only become more accurate. Who can’t love that? The best step for historians is to check and recheck, then hunt some more. And then, as someone said, “press on.”

mise. The price of food stamps — which themselves increase the demand for food — has been agricultural subsidies.

There is a cautionary tale in all this. Once initiated, special-interest government programs are hard to get rid of, even when they’ve outlived their usefulness. They build up organized constituencies, and these motivated groups lobby all too effectively. Beneficiaries also propagate sentimental myths — the family farmer, our cherished agrarian heritage — about the programs they so passionately defend.

Because no one lobbies for the general interest, these costly legacies accumulate: the weapons even the Pentagon doesn’t want, the tax subsidies to big oil companies, the unneeded military bases and post offices Uncle Sam won’t close.

So yes, we can learn from the latest farm bill. Unfortunately, the lesson is one we already know all too well.

‘Argument without end’ advances with technology

By Amity Shlaes

MA U R E E N DOWD

BELLEFONTE, Pa. — tanding a few feet away from Jerry Sandusky, as he laughed and reminisced with friends in the front row of the courtroom, made me want to take a shower.

Just not in the Penn State locker room.

The lead witness in Sandusky’s trial — the former defensive coach at Penn State is charged with molesting 10 boys over 15 years — was a nicelooking, short-haired 28-year-old in white shirt and tie, a narrow parenthesis of a man.

He seemed confident enough when he started, but, as he talked, he grew more and more agitated, running his hand and fist over his face, sliding glances at the 68-year-old, no-neck monster Sandusky at the defense table, staring at the pictures of himself as a young boy with a big grin and bowl cut, relishing the thrilling new world of football heroes that Sandusky had opened up to him. In the photos the prosecution put up on a screen, Sandusky’s hand was usually gripped on the boy’s shoulder.

By the end of his testimony, he looked haunted and acted jittery.

His pain seemed fresh.

The prosecution charges that Sandusky used his charity for disadvantaged kids — Second Mile — as a perverted recruiting tool, putting asterisks next to the names of boys who were fatherless and blond, making up weird contracts for boys to sign, giving them money, ostensibly for doing good schoolwork, but really as a way to keep them from fleeing — and telling.

Like pedophile priests, Sandusky was especially vile because he targeted vulnerable boys. Later, when victims finally spoke up, there was a built-in defense: Those boys were trouble; you can’t believe them.

The first witness, who met Sandusky through Second Mile, said he was 13 when the nightmare started.

His father was not in the picture and he didn’t get along with his stepfather, so he mostly lived with his grandmother. The attention, trips and sports-equipment presents from Sandusky, who “would act like he was my dad” in front of others, seemed heaven-sent, until hell yawned when Jerry kept putting his hand on the boy’s knee in his car.

“Basically, like, I was his girlfriend,” the witness said, adding: “It freaked me out extremely bad.”

The horror grew worse. After racquetball and basketball games, the coach would say, “Let’s get a shower.”

It would begin with a soap battle with liquid soap from the dispenser, the witness said, escalate to bearhugging, slapping, rubbing, soaping, wrestling, maneuvering the child on the ground, kissing his thighs, forcing him to give and receive oral sex, and attempting anal sex.

“I was a little kid. He was a big guy,” the witness said, adding that he weighed “a hundred pounds, soaking wet.”

When he tried to push the slab of an older man away, he said, Sandusky would get mad and “play box” with open-hand slaps. Asked why he didn’t tell his mother, he replied bluntly that he was “too scared,” and “other than that, the other things were nice and I didn’t want to lose that” — going from unloved kid to a petted mascot for a legendary football team.

They never spoke of “the shower thing.”

“It was basically like, whatever happened there never really happened,” he said.

On road trips to bowl games, Sandusky would share a room with the boy, then covertly put a hand under the cover to grope him before he was awake. When the boy would wake up, he said Sandusky would act as though he’d been doing sit-ups next to the bed. If the boy was recalcitrant, Jerry would threaten to send him home.

It’s hard to believe that a monster like Sandusky was harbored by Happy Valley for so long. It was an open joke in Penn State football circles that you shouldn’t drop your soap in the shower when Jerry was around.

Only the boys in the shower weren’t laughing.

‘The Watch’ a modern ‘Antigone’ with GIs

Author’s book tells of journey with son

ISRAEL

“The Watch”

By Joydeep Roy-Bhattacharya (Hogarth, 304 pgs., $25)

“Father’s Day: A Journey into the Mind & Heart of My Extraordinary Son”

By Buzz Bissinger (Houghton Mifflin Harcourt, 256 pgs., $26)

By Jim Higgins Milwaukee Journal Sentinel

By William Hageman

“The fog of war” doesn’t begin to describe what awaits the American soldiers in Joydeep RoyBhattacharya’s novel “The Watch.”

Manning a remote post in Afghanistan’s Kandahar province, they’re assaulted by a violent, lacerating sandstorm, then ambushed by insurgents. After losing several men, they fight off the attackers.

Then, still numb with exhaustion and grief, they face an even more shocking sight: A legless Pashtun woman has come to demand the release of her late brother’s body for burial. He was a leader of the insurgents.

Roy-Bhattacharya has built his novel on the Greek myth of Antigone. Her brother had been killed in a duel with his brother, who also died. King Creon orders Polynices’ body left to rot, and decrees death to any who would disobey this order. Antigone disobeys the order.

Nizam keeps her vigil outside the base, uncowed by the soldiers’ threats.

Roy-Bhattacharya gives a viewpoint chapter to Nizam and to several American soldiers who consider her request with suspicion.

To his credit, his soldiers are differentiated and don’t share the same views of Nizam, military discipline and the American mission in Afghanistan.

Roy-Bhattacharya consulted with front-line officers to get his details right.

His description of the firefight in a sandstorm is gripping and terrifying; so are his overlapping accounts of the ethical and military decisions that young men, fatigued, distraught and unsupported, have to make.

Taking a stab at price cuts • Parliament considers limit on discounted books in an effort to protect author profits

By Amy Teibel The Associated Press

JERUSALEM — In the land of the People of the Book, the discounted book may soon be a thing of the past.

Israeli authors have launched a battle to stop the country’s two leading bookstore chains from discounting their works, claiming the price slashing has cut into their royalties. With support from Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, they persuaded an influential committee of government ministers to back their call for tough limits on discounts.

The parliament is expected to approve a bill enshrining the limits.

A similar debate has played out around the world, as publishers, authors and book retailers all struggle to capture their piece of a hypercompetitive market. Several countries, including France, Germany and Mexico, have all passed laws that bar booksellers from cutting prices in a bid to protect their local publishing industries.

The issue has touched a sensitive nerve in Israel.

Jews are known as the “People of the Book” because their identity is rooted in the Bible. But literary books are also a big part of Israeli culture.

Last year, the country produced 6,302 new Israeli titles, according to the National Library of Israel. For a country of fewer than 8 million people, that is a strong number, roughly on par with the U.S., Germany and Britain in per capita terms, according to data compiled by the U.N. cultural agency UNESCO. Some of its authors enjoy worldwide reputations, with one Nobel literature laureate, S.Y. Agnon, to its credit and contemporary novelist Amos Oz a regular contender in recent years.

The big booksellers Price-slashing is a common feature of the competition between Israel’s two largest booksellers, Steimatzky and Tzomet Sfarim.

The deep discounts — as low as $6 a book as opposed to catalogue prices ranging $15 or $20 — have been welcomed by consumers and benefited younger, unknown authors.

But the low prices are anathema to the established authors, publishers, editors and others in the book-making food chain who find themselves sharing a shrunken purse, an especially difficult situation given that the domestic market is relatively small and the market for Is-

raeli literature in the original Hebrew is thereby limited.

Pricing is a contentious issue in the book business worldwide at a time of major changes in the industry, with big competition from e-books.

Amazon’s deep discounting of top-selling e-books in the U.S. led publishers to set the prices themselves instead of leaving that to booksellers, a move that prompted a government lawsuit accusing publishers of price-fixing.

Effect of e-books E-books have also been a main driver in the decline of brick-and-mortar bookstores.

Bookstores have been an essential part of the publishing ecosystem, where people often stumble upon new books as they browse and chat with other readers, and their precarious state is of concern to publishers, booksellers and writers, many of whom fear a future market dominated by e-books.

In Israel, the move to ebooks hasn’t affected the local market, said Amnon BenShmuel, managing director of the Book Association of Israel.

“All we care about is that people read more books. We don’t care if they are e-books or traditional,” he said.

Instead, he said, the issue is the concentration of the market. Steimatzky and Tzomet Sfarim capture 80 percent of all book sales here, according to government data. Critics of the discounts accuse these booksellers of destroying the Israeli publishing industry by putting their profits above all considerations, a charge the booksellers deny.

“The competition between the two main booksellers is

the problem,” Ben-Shmuel said. “Authors are sick of working for free. That is why the industry is facing difficulties here.”

The uproar has taken center stage as Israel marks its annual celebration of reading, the Hebrew Book Week, when book fairs are held across the country. Earlier this month, 10 leading Israeli authors, including Oz and David Grossman, said they did not want their books sold at a discount at the fair, saying, “We can no longer participate in the humiliation of our works in particular, and Hebrew literature in general.”

Minimum royalties The bill, which is expected to be approved in parliament in coming weeks, would bar retailers from slashing the marked price on new books for the first 18 months after they are released. Royalties would be set at a minimum of 8 percent of the book’s marked price for the first 6,000 sold and at least 10 percent for all books sold after that number.

The bill, according to a statement put out by the prime minister’s office, “is designed

to protect literature and authors in Israel.”

“As the People of the Book, we are committed to maintaining the income of the authors who create our cultural treasures,” Netanyahu said.

In a statement, Steimatzky’s chief executive, Iris Barel, welcomed the new legislation and said her company would comply with whatever is decided.

“The Steimatzky chain has worked incessantly in the last two years to promote a law that promises proper compensation for Israeli authors and a variety of original Hebrew books to the Israeli public,” she said. The company declined further comment.

David Gilo, director of the Israel Antitrust Authority, had opposed the bill, arguing that the government shouldn’t intervene in a competitive market and warning that prices might go up to the point that customers won’t buy.

But Culture Minister Limor Livnat predicted free market pressures would compel publishers to keep books at “reasonable” rates.

Buzz Bissinger’s new book is a physical and metaphorical journey.

“Father’s Day: A Journey into the Mind & Heart of My Extraordinary Son” is Bissinger’s account of a 12-day, 3,600-mile crosscountry drive he took in 2007 with his then-24-yearold son Zach.

This deeply personal memoir is informed

by Zach’s, and Bissinger’s, histories. Zach is the younger of Bissinger’s twin boys, born three minutes after brother Gerry. In those three minutes, Zach suffered a lack of oxygen that resulted in trace brain damage.

Zach has an IQ of about 70.

He has the comprehension skills of an 8-year-old. He is also a savant with inexplicable skills, including a mastery of maps and directions.

“Father’s Day” takes the Bissingers’ trip — the itinerary was built around cities in which Zach has lived — and interweaves it with Zach’s complicated story. By the end, the trip becomes a journey of discovery for both.

You seem to have been very tough on yourself over the years. Did the trip mellow you any?

I still fly off the handle. I wish I did not, but my buttons get pressed very easily.

And Zach always knew that.

But we now have a shared experience that is unique and memorable and will remain that way.

Who learned more about the other on the trip, you or Zach?

I think I learned more.

People have asked that: What did you learn?

The things he did, things he liked. I definitely learned so much about him, in particular empathy, which I’d never seen before. He really wants independence, which shows he’s growing.

You got a new view of him.

He has a wonderful intellect. He has developed a wonderful life for himself.

And to me that’s the definition of character.

BOOK THEFT

‘Genius’ author’s new book takes old-fashioned approach to fiction Feds recover pilfered “A Hologram for the King”

By Dave Eggers (McSweeney’s, 312 pgs., $25)

By Michiko Kakutani New York Times News Service

The hero of Dave Eggers’ absorbing new novel “A Hologram for the King” is a pennyante Job named Alan Clay, who finds himself in an absurd situation. Alan is deeply in debt, unable to pay his daughter’s college tuition and plagued by a scary golf-ballsize lump on the back of his neck. He’s betting everything on a last-ditch chance at a big payday, hoping he can sell the Saudi king, Abdullah, on a lucrative technology contract — a contract that depends on Alan’s going to a real estate development in Saudi Arabia and making an elaborate holographic presentation to the king, who may or may not even show up.

“Hologram” is studded with allusions to a rich array of literary classics, but Eggers uses a new, pared down, Hemingwayesque voice to recount his story, a voice that stands in sharp contrast to the baroque, hyperventilated one he employed in his dazzling 2000 debut book, “A Heartbreaking Work of Staggering Genius.”

Gone are the self-conscious

commentary and postmodern pyrotechnics of “Genius.” Gone too are the less effective exercises in mimicry and pastiche featured in his 2002 novel “You Shall Know Our Velocity.”

In any case, he demonstrates in “Hologram” that he is master of this more old-fashioned approach as much as he was a pioneering innovator with “Genius.”

In Eggers’ telling, the 54year-old Alan is not just another hapless loser undergoing a midlife crisis. Rather, his sad-funny-dreamlike story unfolds to become an allegory about the frustrations of middle-class America, about the woes unemployed workers and sidelined entrepreneurs have experienced in a newly globalized world in which jobs are being outsourced abroad.

On Alan’s way to Saudi Arabia a fellow passenger complains that America has “become a nation of indoor cats,” a “nation of doubters, worriers, overthinkers.” A U.S. architect, who has designed a couple of the tallest buildings in the world, tells Alan he has been working for 10 years in Dubai, Singapore, Abu Dhabi and China, where “the dreaming’s being done” now.

A summary of such moments may make “Hologram” sound like a schematic lesson on the United States’ decline, but it’s not. Thanks to Eggers’

uncommon ability to access his characters’ emotions and channel their every mood, we are instantly immersed in Alan’s story, rooting for him somehow to win an audience with the king and turn his life around. He holes up in his Jidda hotel room, scrolling through the personal photos on his laptop, “the vast grid of his life in thumbnails,” and like Saul Bellow’s Herzog, writes letters he never sends.

When a European woman named Hanne comes on to him, Alan finds himself wishing he could go home. All he wants to do is drink by himself and watch old Red Sox DVDs. It doesn’t take long for Alan to discover the incongruities of life in the kingdom, where the wretched excesses made possible by oil money coexist with ancient mores regarding women, where a craving for the modern conveniences of life coexists with a suspicion of the West.

The analogies to Samuel Beckett’s “Waiting for Godot” seem completely intentional.

Eggers wisely does not strain to try to turn Alan’s story into an existential parable of the human condition like “Godot.”

Instead, he has achieved something that is more modest and equally satisfying: the writing of a comic but deeply affecting tale about one man’s travails that also provides a bright, digital snapshot of our times.

‘People Who Eat Darkness’ a black tale of crime in Tokyo “People Who Ea t D arkness: The True Story of a Young Woman W h o V a n i shed from the Streets Of Tok y o — and the Evil that Swallowed Her Up”

By Richard Lloyd Parry (Farrar, Straus & Giroux, 454 pgs., $16)

By Dwight Garner New York Times News Service

The title of Richard Lloyd Parry’s true-crime book “People Who Eat Darkness,” is creepy, especially now that zombies are in the news. Its sleek cover, which features a blurry sketch of a serial rapist and murderer, is creepier still. I read “People Who Eat Darkness” over the course of two days and always placed it face down in the kitchen, lest a glimpse of it unnerve the children and animals in the house.

Parry is the Tokyo bureau chief of The Times of London, and his book is an account of a killing that he covered for his newspaper and that he hasn’t been able to shake. You may not be able to shake it either.

It’s the story of Lucie Blackman, a blond, outgoing, 21year-old former British Airways flight attendant who disappeared into the teeming streets of Tokyo in 2000. The police’s only lead was a phone call placed to her best friend in

which a man claimed she had joined a religious cult.

Blackman was not found for months. What happened to her is not pretty, we belatedly discover, so not pretty that the author is forced to consider dire problems of social etiquette.

“What do you say,” he asks, “to the woman whose daughter has recently been chopped up and buried in a cave?”

This story, when you think it cannot get darker, does.

Blackman’s killer, it turns out, had been drugging, raping and murdering young women for some three decades, almost directly under the noses of an incompetent or willfully blind Japanese police force.

This material is so bleak, and so miserably entrancing, that all Parry really needs to do is set out the facts and, essentially, stay out of the way.

Early on, however, I feared he was going to step on his own journalism by overwriting, by seeding clouds that were already black and brewing.

There are a few too many references to “Alice in Wonderland.” Cicadas in Tokyo, he writes, “sneered” in the trees.

I was wrong to worry. Parry finds his voice, and it’s a sturdy one. His book becomes not merely an exemplary piece of reportage but a sustained and quietly profound work of moral inquiry as well. It becomes ominous in ways that go well beyond the calculated shock value of its cover.

Parry writes exceedingly well about what is known in Japan as the “water trade,” a term that encompasses the range of night life in Roppongi, which the author refers to as “a spectrum of sleaziness and elegance, cheapness and expense, openness and exclusivity.”

Among the take-aways of “People Who Eat Darkness” is that Japan is not a good place to be the victim of a terrible crime. This book is a scorching indictment of bumbling law enforcement there. “Japan has the cuddliest police in the world,” Parry writes, comparing them to “a tribe of earnest Boy Scouts.”

“People Who Eat Darkness” is surprisingly soulful, especially in its portrait of Blackman, a young woman who still traveled with a favorite stuffed animal, who read self-help books like “The Rules” and who confided to her diary how she loathed, more than anything else, her sense that “every single part of me from head to toe is completely average.”

The author had hoped to find her alive. He confesses he “dreamed one of the oldest male dreams of all: of being the knight who rides to the dark tower, slays the dragon, frees the missing damsel, and basks forever in the glory.”

That being impossible, he’s done something nearly as good. He’s restored her to life in this vivid book.

antique Mormon tome

By Michelle Boorstein The Washington Post

On Tuesday, federal marshals barreled into a condominium in Herndon, Va., and found a most unusual book: a leather-bound first edition of the Book of Mormon.

They also found the man who allegedly pilfered the prized tome — worth between $50,000 and $100,000 — from a suburban Phoenix antique book shop, authorities said.

Jay Michael Linford, a fellow Mormon bookseller who had been “like a grandson” to the shop’s owner, was arrested at his friend’s home and charged with theft and trafficking in stolen property.

The theft and arrest spotlighted the market for “Mormonia” — memorabilia about Mormonism — that has been thriving as Mitt Romney’s presidential candidacy, television shows and a Broadway play have stoked interest in the faith.

One of 5,000 printed The news last month that Helen Spencer Schlie’s first edition had been stolen spread quickly through the small, tight-knit world of rare-book dealers, who were aware of Schlie’s book as one of 5,000 original copies printed in 1830 and viewed

by Mormons as sacred text.

But the theft didn’t elicit much sympathy for the Mesa, Ariz., widow, who had become something of a pariah for removing individual pages from the book and offering them for sale.

“Divine intervention,” a prominent Salt Lake City bookseller said about the theft.

Ken Sanders, who has overseen security for the Antiquarian Booksellers’ Association of America, said, “It’s incomprehensible how someone could use their religion to mask what is, to me, just out and out greed. “ To Schlie, the theft turned out to be heartbreaking for more than monetary reasons. The accused was a business partner and one of her closest friends, who chatted with her by phone for hours each week and helped her publish a book

“For Mormons, the Book of Mormon has become the holy grail of collecting. It’s like an old-school biggame hunter goes and bags their Book of Mormon.”

— Ken Sanders, overseer of security, Antiquarian Booksellers’ Association of America

of her poetry.

“My other grandchildren haven’t had much interest in my projects, and here’s this young man who is a contemporary with my older grandchildren, but he has made things happen,” Schlie, 88, said Wednesday, her voice quivering.

Schlie and Linford were both steeped in the growing business subculture of Mormonia.

Linford, 48, had founded Experience Press in Palmyra, N.Y., a business intended to serve the growing number of tourists interested in Mormonism’s birthplace. The company produced handmade books that were meant to look like the originals and that sold for $100 to $1,000.

Linford and Schlie also worked together on video interviews with people who owned some of the prized first editions of the Book of Mormon. The videos were intended to be sold as mini-documentaries to buyers of the replica books.

Selling individual pages Schlie, a convert to Mormonism, attracted sharp criticism a few years ago when she started removing pages from the first edition that her husband acquired in 1967.

“Some people were disturbed I’d taken a perfectly good book apart, but each page in its lifetime is capable of touching hundreds of thousands of lives,” she said. There were plenty of takers for the pages — priced at $2,500 to $4,500 — including some affluent Mormons.

Mormonism teaches that the text is God’s word, which was written on gold plates, buried in Upstate New York and found by a prophet named Joseph Smith, who translated them into English.

“For Mormons, the Book of

Mormon has become the holy grail of collecting. It’s like an old-school big-game hunter goes and bags their Book of Mormon,” Sanders said.

No one knows how many of the original 5,000 copies are left. At the time they were printed, it was unheard of to print thousands of books in one run, and it was particularly noteworthy because there were no Mormons at the time.

The run is considered part of the unusual history of Mormonism’s rapid spread during a period when Americans were experimenting with new religions.

Linford, who had residences in the District of Columbia and Arizona, seemed to have run into financial trouble lately, a former employee said.

Buyers had ordered more books than the replica company was making, and Linford and a partner lived far away and saw the company as more of a hobby, Mark Burris said.

‘Never in a safe place’ Burris said that Schlie had long had trouble organizing her book business. He described working for her for a few months last year to help her auction books on eBay. The 1830 Book of Mormon, he said, was kept on the arm of the couch where he was sleeping.

“It was never in a safe place.

The first thing she’d tell someone when she met them is where she kept the book,” Burris said.

Schlie said she realized that the book was gone Memorial Day when she went to show it to some Mormon missionaries from Asia who wanted their photos taken with it.

Mesa police said the day Linford allegedly took the book, he contacted a rarebook dealer in the Dallas-Fort Worth area and asked whether the man was interested in buying some pages of a first edition Book of Mormon. A few days later, Mesa police said, Linford sold two pages of the book for $7,500.

Schlie said the theft will not deter her from carrying out her plan, once she gets the book back from authorities.

Those plans include selling the remaining 500 pages and using the money to buy an ice cream store whose profits will help fund Mormon missionaries, she said.

Central Oregon’s open for business • Expandinoregon.com gets makeover and highlights about 50 lots, buildings in region

ommercial land and buildings in the state and region could change hands and get business tenants more quickly, through an update to a website the state agency Business Oregon maintains.

The new site, www.expandin oregon.com, allows state, city or county employees to quickly assemble a package of suitable properties for site selectors seeking new homes for companies.

Gov. John Kitzhaber announced the new website last month after touring Facebook’s data center in Prineville, according to a news release.

“Connecting industrial employers with the developable sites they need to grow or locate in Oregon is one of the most important things we can do to get Oregonians back to work,” Kitzhaber said in the release.

While acknowledging that the website still has bugs, Business Oregon employees appear pleased with it.

“I certainly wouldn’t say we’ve arrived at perfection, but we’re doing much better, and the way that we’ve tried to do that is to build a lot of win-wins,” said Ted Werth, Business Oregon’s recruitment specialist.

Struggling to make it in America • American Apparel struggles to keep the ‘made in America’ label

By Shan Li Los Angeles Times

LOS ANGELES — Ofelia Lopez scrutinizes the hem on a hot-pink shirt fresh off the assembly line, making sure the stitching is just right.

All around her, rows of workers rapidly attach sleeves, adhere labels and churn out piles of garments.

Lopez, a G u a te m a l a native, has worked in the apparel industry for 22 years.

Now a team super visor, she keeps a watchful eye “I want to prove myself and I on her group want to prove ‘made in Amertoiling on a ica’ is a smart business,” said vast factory Dov Charney, senior partner floor, where of American Apparel. the whir of sewing machines and the hiss of industrial steam irons drown out most other sounds.

This could be a clothing factory in Guatemala, China or Vietnam. But it’s in an industrial area of downtown Los Angeles, where American Apparel Inc. is engaged in an epic — and, so far, money-losing — struggle to prove that clothes can still be made for a profit in America.

The company’s seven-story factory, a former Southern Pacific Railway freight depot, is the biggest garment—making facility in the U.S., according to an industry trade group. Here, 4,500 workers staggered over two shifts cut, sew, fold, box and ship clothes to the company’s 253 stores and other clothiers worldwide.

Nurturing a baby and a startup business • Does motherhood factor into the success, stability of a company?

By Hannah Seligson New York Times News Service

Fledgling companies are like sticky-fingered toddlers.

You’ve got to watch them every single minute.

And yet a small group of women is proving that it’s possible to start a high-growth technology company and have children at the same time. They are dispelling the image of the tech entrepreneur as a single, usually male, wunderkind. Consider Jennifer Fleiss, 28, co-founder of Rent the Runway, an online dress and accessories rental site with 2.5 million members.

She gave birth to a daughter, Daniella, in December.

And there’s Carley Roney, 43, co-founder of the XO Group, a publicly traded media company valued at $300 million. Her three children range in age from 4 to 14.

Divya Gugnani, meanwhile, is the founder and chief executive of Send the Trend, an e-commerce site for accessories and beauty items that was bought by QVC in February. In May, Gugnani, 35, gave birth to her son, Ashvin. And the list goes on.

The average age of a firsttime founder of a company is 39 — meaning that startup life for some entrepreneurs is less about video game marathons on Saturdays and more about balancing parental responsibilities.

BEYOND THE GRAPEVINE

Labeled Cameron Hughes Wine bottles at the Cameron Hughes Wine facility in Calistoga, Calif.

Bypassing the grape but enjoying its fruit

By Nicole LaPorte New York Times News Service

Cameron Hughes sees nothing romantic about being a winemaker. Having a rolling vineyard to call his own? Taking that first sip of a homegrown pinot noir? He can live without it, thanks — and he does, even as he has become a prominent name in the California wine industry.

Hughes, who started by selling wine out of the back of his Volvo station wagon in 2002, is a wine negociant, or wine merchant. He does not own a vineyard or a winery. Instead, from offices in San Francisco and Calistoga, Calif., he outsources all the labor that goes into making a bottle of wine — growing the grapes, crushing and fermenting them, and other steps in the process — to others. “All we do is bring the barrels,� Hughes said.

Actually, he does a bit more than that. During the worldwide wine glut of the recent recession, his company, Cameron Hughes Wine, flourished as he bought up excess wine from wineries, repackaged it under his own label and sold it at a discount.

One of the first wines he ever sold was a syrah from the Lodi region of California that had a retail price of $28. Hughes sold it at Costco for $8.99 under his generic-sounding Lot series — it was Lot 1. (Per nondisclosure agreements he has with sellers, he does not reveal where his so-called bulk wines come from, but merely describes their aromas, flavors and area of origin.)

Initially, Hughes said, he “stood in Costco doing my carnival barking act� as he tried to sell his wines to customers. “You’d hear me on the other side of the store, talking about wine. I had store managers come over and be like, ‘Dude, you’ve got to tone it down.’�

Hughes has stormed in on a profession that many consider sacred and has imbued it with

some capitalistic swagger — not unlike Fred Franzia, the vintner behind Trader Joe’s discount wine, Charles Shaw, aka Two Buck Chuck.

Negociants like Hughes are much more common in Europe. In the United States, “most people want to have a vineyard,� said Liz Thach, a professor of management and wine business at Sonoma State University. “The soil, the terroir, they want to have the whole thing. We have more than 7,000 wineries in the U.S. and most of them are very small and run by people who want to have a small, family business and the pride that goes into that.�

It is notoriously difficult to make a profit on a vineyard, and some wealthy owners pour money into tending grapes knowing full well that they may lose money for years. Winemaking is “a labor

of love for many, many people,� Hughes said. “And it is for us, too, but we figured out how to make a buck, too.�

Most of his bucks were made buying and selling bulk wine, but these days, Hughes puts most of his resources behind actually making wine — or, rather, having others make it for him.

Working with wineries and vineyards in California, Oregon and Washington, as well as in Europe, he is on track to produce 300,000 cases of wine — equaling 5,000 tons of crushed grapes — this year.

That’s even as poor harvests have resulted in a projected wine shortage for the next several years. In some cases, Hughes pairs a vineyard with a winery to create a wine according to specifications that he devises with his three winemakers and viticulturist. “We outsource the work,

but we oversee it very closely,�

Hughes said. “We visit these vineyards numerous times. We have our viticulturist traveling the state right now, visiting all the vineyards. When the time comes for crushing and fermenting, our winemakers are there as well, getting daily lab updates.�

In other instances, Hughes might come in just after wine has been fermented, assemble various blends and then send them to the barrel to age.

Either way, the low-overhead nature of his business means that his wines, sold in places as diverse as Sam’s Club, boutique wine shops and on the Internet, are 50 percent to 70 percent cheaper, he said, than they would be under their winery’s label.

So how did he enter this idiosyncratic profession? “Purely by accident,� he says.

After starting out as a cel-

lar rat — a low-level winery employee — at Corbett Canyon, a popular inexpensive wine label, he decided that he didn’t want to be a wine producer and went into wine sales and marketing instead.

A few years later, when he was working for a French wine importing company, he first heard about negociants.

When the importer went bust not long thereafter, Hughes saw a place for himself in the wine world. “I bought 500 cases of Napa Valley cabernet, I had a guy bottle it up for me, and I sold it out of the back of my Volvo station wagon.�

After struggling to the point that he teetered on the edge of bankruptcy, he said, he got his big break in 2004, when he persuaded Costco to start selling his Lot series.

Because both he and the origins of his wine were unknowns, building trust among customers was its own kind of labor. At Costco in San Francisco, where Hughes would stand for hours personally selling his wine, “They’re like, ‘I’ve never heard of it,’ and they’d walk on by,� he recalled. “I used to tell people, ‘If you don’t like it, I’ll come wash your car for you.’ You just did whatever it took to get people to try it.�

Thach said she admired Hughes’ “heady vision.� “He worked really hard to get Costco to pay attention to him, and when they did, it put him on the map,� she said.

Over the years, Hughes has built up his business “one foxhole at a time,� as he puts it — in 2011, he sold 80 different Lot wines, compared with three his first year.

And never once did he have to wash a car.

Neighbor Continued from G1 Nextdoor’s site provides a house-by-house map of neighbors who are members — although members can choose not to have their names attached to their addresses — as well as a forum for posting items of general interest; classified listings for buying, selling or giving away things; and a database for neighbor-recommended local services.

The company, which introduced its service in October, says it has set up more than 2,000 such neighborhoods in the U.S., each containing about 500 to 750 households. These mostly follow boundaries defined by Maponics, a supplier of geographic data.

Nextdoor’s interior pages are private, unlike those of some other neighborhood-themed websites. In a Nextdoor neighborhood, everything, including the directory of members, is visible only to fellow members, so marketers can’t vacuum up names and addresses. Nor does the information appear on search engine results.

To keep out interlopers, Nextdoor requires new members to prove that they actually live at their claimed residences, either by allowing a 1-cent transaction to be processed on a credit card tied to the address, by having an existing neighborhood member vouch for their identity or by other means.

Once their addresses are verified, they can look at the map to see who else has joined.

Currently, 20 percent of households in my neighborhood in a San Francisco suburb are Nextdoor members.

Members don’t need to visit the website to stay abreast of postings. They can opt to receive posts by email — imme-

diately or in daily digests — or to get a text message in the case of urgent alerts.

The service is free and, for now at least, carries no advertising. On its frequently-askedquestions page, the company says it plans to enlist local businesses to give members special offers that are unavailable elsewhere. This, the company says, will help “generate support for local businesses, in turn strengthening their own neighborhoods.�

In the meantime, the company relies on capital raised from investors that include Benchmark Capital and Shasta Ventures. “At Facebook,� Tolia said, “it can feel out of place to see advertisements alongside pictures of your vacation or the announcement of your marriage.� At Nextdoor, he says, ads for local plumbers and electricians will be a natural fit because users are looking for recommendations anyway.

When Tolia flips the switch to add advertising, however, he may find that Nextdoor’s members view ads as an intrusion there, too. On the online forum in my own Nextdoor neighborhood, there was a kerfuffle last week after one member asked for recommendations for a good gardener. Some members responded cheerfully, but then, seemingly out of the blue, someone offered a testimonial for a local insurance agent.

That caused several members to express dismay over what appeared to be advertising. “I think we should not allow advertising notices� to be posted at all, one member said, and others vowed to leave the site if ads were permitted to sneak in. This little outburst shows how residents are protective of neighborhood space, whether physical or virtual.

Neighborhood identity has not been destroyed by the Internet. Robert Sampson, a sociology professor at Harvard, said: “There’s a common misreading that technology inevitably leads to the decline of the local community. I don’t believe that. Technology can be harnessed to facilitate local interactions.�

Sampson is careful not to overstate the closeness of neighbors’ relationships with one another. These are not the ties of close friendship, nor are they anonymous. They form a network of acquaintances, which he defines as people who share a working trust even though they are not good friends.

In his new book, “Great American City: Chicago and the Enduring Neighborhood Effect,� Sampson argues that worries about the supposed loss of community in cities are nothing new. In 1938, for example, the sociologist Louis Wirth described “anonymous� and “superficial� social relations as essential elements of urbanism. But Sampson says that this ignores the way that a city was, and remains, ordered by distinctive neighborhoods — what he calls “the enduring significance of place.�

Back in its very early days, Facebook was an exclusive social network built around a neighborhood of sorts: the Harvard campus. Residency was verified by the universityissued email address.

But when Facebook expanded beyond campuses, it left the atomic unit of the neighborhood behind. This has created the opportunity for a startup like Nextdoor to come along and create something that Facebook no longer is: an online network defined by reallife proximity.

Baby Continued from G1 Fleiss, Roney and Gugnani all have husbands with highpowered jobs, so there are no stay-at-home fathers to take charge of their households.

On the other hand, financial resources for child care are ample.

Yet much of the investment world, heavily dominated by men, remains skeptical about a woman’s ability to combine running a fast-growing tech startup and motherhood, Gugnani says. She raised $3 million from investors before becoming pregnant.

“All of the women I know who went to raise money did it when they didn’t have kids,” she said. “There is total discrimination in the startup world against women who are pregnant.”

Making pregnancy and motherhood a focal point of the investment process is an outdated way of thinking, she adds.

Female entrepreneurs are less numerous and raise less money than their male counterparts. Women make up 10 percent of the founders at high-growth tech companies, “and they raise 70 percent less money than men do because of their lack of access to capital,” said Lesa Mitchell of the Ewing Marion Kauffman Foundation, where she is vice president for initiatives on advancing innovation.

Carley Roney, a mother of two who founded the XO Group with her husband, with their sons, Cairo, 8, and Dublin, 4, at the company’s offices in New York.

Time management Roney says venture capitalists will assert that a female entrepreneur’s pregnancy and motherhood aren’t factors in deciding whether to invest in a firm — that it’s all about good ideas and the management team.

“But I can pretty much guarantee you, behind closed doors it is a factor,” she said.

That is why, Roney said, “in those first moments of having a business and having a baby, the baby was a complete and total secret.”

At a startup, which lacks much corporate infrastructure, founders typically do the jobs of at least five people.

“The expectation of the devotion of your time, particularly if you are a founder, is that you should be doing this and nothing else — if you aren’t, you are not giving everything you have to the company,” Roney explained.

Fleiss was able to secure $15 million in Series B venture funding last year, shortly before she gave birth. If she had

Website Continued from G1 The website can be accessed from Business Oregon’s home page, www.oregon4biz.com, which contains information about industries, business financing and other topics.

It’s not the only tool real estate agents and economic-development officials use to lure companies. Other websites, such as the Commercial Brokers Association, are populated with listings around the state.

And Oregon isn’t unique in listing properties for businesses. States from coast to coast run similar websites.

If updated frequently and marketed well, though, Business Oregon hopes the site will spark more recruitment, expansion, relocation and job creation in Central Oregon and around the rest of the state. That’s not to mention the benefits for real estate brokers and construction workers.

If nothing else, the revamped website can draw more attention to empty buildings and bare land all over Oregon, such as a 508,000-square foot former Nike distribution center in Wilsonville, a 1,000-acre lot for lease in Irrigon and the 204,000-square-foot former Cessna airplane factory.

In Central Oregon, 50 properties are listed for sale or lease on the site. Across the state, there are more than 1,100 posted.

The database of properties — which are intended for companies that do business outside the state, Werth said — has come a long way since being introduced in the early 2000s, under the name Oregon Prospector.

The latest version escorts interested parties to custom areas on the site where they can look at details on specific properties cities and counties want to pitch, Werth said. It’s steps ahead of the old way of

been pregnant as she pitched the company in the first round of financing, when it was still an unproved entity, she says, she would have talked to mentors and advisers about how to present that fact.

Investors do need a full picture of a founder’s other life commitments, Fleiss contends.

“I don’t agree that men should be considered in the same exact context as women around aspects of raising a family,” she said.

Certain factors like breastfeeding and body recovery require a women to take more time off, she notes. Fleiss took 10 weeks of maternity leave,

sending out many emails with many attachments, he said.

The website prods local brokers or representatives of the properties to keep their listings up to date, preventing the promotion of places that are no longer available, he said.

And for the first time, Werth said, the site lets utility companies log in and see how suitors might want to use the sites or buildings, to make sure they can provide the energy projects require.

Still, the website is not without problems.

In spreadsheets users can export from the website, “Deschutes” is spelled wrong for about 30 properties, which could lead site selectors to miss out on sites in La Pine, Redmond and Sisters.

Some properties in Redmond show up when users search by city but not by county.

And a few properties have incorrect addresses. One building in Bend has the address “Hwy 99,” but state Highway 99 doesn’t run through Central Oregon.

Despite the flaws, the website has added time-saving functions for filtering out sites, such as minimum and maximum price points and whether they are in enterprise zones — which allow property tax breaks in exchange for new development and employment.

In Central Oregon, Redmond stands out with 19 properties.

La Pine lags, with one.

Just five sites exceed 50 acres in size. No sites larger than 50 acres are listed in Crook County.

she says, while her husband, Andrew Fleiss, a principal at the private equity firm Liberty Partners in Manhattan, took a week off.

Aileen Lee, a partner at Kleiner Perkins Caufield & Byers, a venture capital firm in Menlo Park, Calif., put it this way: “If someone was having some surgery that was going to put them out for three months, it’s something you should consider, with a man or a woman. What is the impact of having the CEO or visionary out for three months?”

Lee stresses that pregnancy is not a red flag for her and that she backs companies for the long run. Of her 11 port-

More than half of the 50 properties are in enterprise zones.

Available properties vary in scale, ranging from a 1,500square-foot office building for lease in Sisters to 300 acres for sale in the Bend’s Juniper Ridge planned development.

Five sites in Central Oregon — in La Pine, Madras, Prineville and Redmond — have been certified by Business Oregon as shovel-ready, meaning that development issues have been cleared up and construction can begin no more than 180 days after a purchase or lease. Most recently, last month Business Oregon certified a 73-acre lot in northeast Redmond’s Desert Rise Industrial Park, near two lots that were previously certified, according to a news release.

Two local brokers for properties listed said they think highly of the remodeled website.

It shows more data than other websites for listing commercial and industrial properties, said Jim Prosser, an agent at Century 21 Gold Country Realty Inc. of Bend.

Prosser, who lists three Bend buildings for sale or lease on expandinoregon.com, signed up for an account on the old Oregon Prospector website two years ago, to increase the likelihood of closing deals.

He would like to see Business Oregon promote the website even more than it does now.

“We’re just after exposure,” Prosser said.

Patty Cordoni, an agent with Re/Max Revolution in Sisters, liked what she saw on the redesigned website, thinking it could help move the eight Sisters buildings she has posted.

“I would imagine with the new one, we’re going to (get) higher visibility with it,” Cordoni said.

folio companies, three are run by women with children, including Rent the Runway, Fleiss’ company.

Last year, Paige Craig, an angel investor in 61 tech companies, said on the Business Insider site that “I’m probably going to get myself in a bit of trouble here” before he stated that “a pregnant founder/CEO is going to fail her company.”

Clearly, he was being hyperbolic because he wrote the post after deciding to invest in a crowdsourced financing company called Profounder, one of whose founders, Jessica Jackley, was pregnant with twins. He knew about her pregnancy before making his decision.

Craig said he wrote the post not as a rallying cry against investing in women with children but to raise the question: “So I have this bias, let me dig in, and is it justified?”

If investors meet a male founder of a company, they don’t care whether he has two or three children because they assume that his wife will take care of them, Craig says.

“But with a female founder,” he added, “it’s a whole different story.”

He does say that women who have just started a company “should probably put kids off for a year, when you can step back.”

But, Craig said, he still had

confidence in Jackley, who is also a co-founder of the online lending site Kiva.

The issue of children, it seems, plays differently for male founders.

Neil Blumenthal, 31, cofounder of Warby Parker, an eyewear seller, said his family responsibilities never came up with investors, although his wife, Rachel, is also an entrepreneur and was pregnant at the time he and his co-founders sought investments. Their son, Griffin, is now 14 months old.

He said his wife, who runs Rachel Leigh, a jewelry company, deals with more of the child care — about a 60-40 split — because his company is younger and in a more intense stage of growth.

David Liu is CEO of the XO Group, which he founded with his wife, Roney. He said that they “co-parent,” but that the division of labor sometimes means that he travels more for work so that Roney can be at home.

Like others, Liu sees a double standard in the startup investment world.

“I think there are a lot of challenges for women because VCs are thinking: ‘Uh-oh.

When are those women going to get pregnant? When are they going to get distracted?’ I think that kind of stuff is pervasive, and it’s unfortunate.”

But some investors say they truly don’t factor motherhood into the equation.

“Whether a female founder is pregnant, has children or is planning to have children is not a concern of mine, and frankly none of my business,” said Brad Feld, who has done early-stage investing for 20 years and is managing director of the Foundry Group, an investment firm based in Boulder, Colo.

Feld said those issues have never been discussed at the firm. Of the 43 companies in which it has invested, however, only two were started by women, one of whom has children.

Fleiss, Roney and Gugnani are hardly alone in finding ways to start companies while caring for young children.

Jessica Herrin, 39, has two daughters and is the founder and chief executive of Stella & Dot, a social sales company based in San Francisco that generates more than $100 million in revenue a year.

She says she “didn’t want to be on some venture capital firm’s timeline about how fast and when I should grow my company when I had two young kids and was still nursing.”

Instead, she approached a few individual investors who had backed her previous company, WeddingChannel.com, and raised $350,000. (WeddingChannel was acquired by the XO Group in 2006.)

Before she accepted a check, Herrin says, she told Doug Mackenzie, her investor at Radar Partners: “This company is going to have an initial slower pace of growth than it otherwise would because I want to go to swim class with my daughter on Friday afternoon.”

Alexandra Wilkis Wilson, 35, is a co-founder of the Gilt Groupe, the shopping website.

In 2010, two and half years after the company started, Wilson had her first child, a son.

Her co-founder, Alexis Maybank, 37, has two children, one born in February this year and the other in September 2010.

Wilson, who is also head of national sales for the Gilt City site, says that it’s possible to have children and run a startup but that timing is everything.

“Back in 2007, when we had eight employees, it would have been hard to balance with the pace I was working.”

Apparel Continued from G1 American Apparel may be best known for its hip stores, racy ads and controversial chief executive, Dov Charney.

But this factory and the thousands it employs are what truly make the company stand out, said Sarah Friedman, executive director of the National Association for the Sewn Products Industry. Few other U.S. clothing manufacturers employ more than a few hundred workers, she noted.

“American Apparel is very, very remarkable,” she said.

“Any time you have a retailer with thousands of employees still in the U.S. — that is pretty remarkable.”

At the helm is Charney, 43, an outspoken advocate for local manufacturing who founded the company 14 years ago. In a recent interview he acknowledged pressure from other company executives, board members and consultants to move manufacturing abroad.

“I want to prove myself,” he said, “and I want to prove ‘made in America’ is a smart business.”

Charney conceded that the company’s finances could eventually push it to start making some products overseas.

“To say that I’m never going to import from overseas would be unreasonable,” he said during an interview at his colorful factory office strewn with new designs being tested for fit. “At this time our business concept is to make everything here. But I wouldn’t rule anything out.”

ing officer, has seen both sides of the problem. His 28-year career includes 15 years at underwear giant Fruit of the Loom, where he oversaw factories in Kentucky, North Carolina and Mississippi. When many of those factories closed, he supervised the company’s transition to manufacturing in lower-wage countries such as Honduras and Mexico.

Bailey joined American Apparel in 2002 and quickly set out to retool the retailer’s operations. His key innovation, borrowed from his years at Fruit of the Loom, was implementing a “team-based” manufacturing method that upped productivity and — he says — positions the company to successfully make it in America.

American Apparel’s skilled workforce can churn out 120,000 T-shirts in a day and quickly whip out new designs.

Bailey said the fast turnaround from design to factory to store is a key advantage when jockeying for shoppers with competitors such as Forever 21 and H&M. “I’ve had ideas on Monday and had them hanging in a storefront on Friday in Manhattan,” Bailey said.

The company’s products cost more than its fast-fashion rivals’ — a simple cotton T-shirt can sell for $21 if it comes from American Apparel and as little as $8 if from Target. Bailey said superior fabrics and better designs justify the higher price tag.

Market recap YTD Last Chg %Chg

Charney argues that the “made in America” model is not just a marketing gimmick but also a smart long-term strategy for retail.

American manufacturing will prove to be cost-effective as international transportation costs shoot up and overseas wages rise, Charney said, pointing to China as a prime example. “As that happens to the worldwide economy,” he said, “it’s going to make a lot of sense to manufacture in the United States or in Los Angeles.”

Even at night, the downtown L.A. factory’s huge parking lot is often jammed with cars. Light glows from its windows, and workers inside are still hunched over sewing machines.

Charney insists that the company is heading into an upswing, cautiously estimating that it may show a profit by next year. He rejects any suggestion that moving operations overseas may cure what ails American Apparel, but it’s an option that analysts say the company has to consider if its struggles continue.

“In 50 years, would you say American Apparel will be around?” Charney said.

“Levi’s has been around for a long time, and I hope American Apparel will be around for that long. There’s still lots of tricks up my sleeve.”

No one knows whether those tricks will keep its factories open in Los Angeles. The company might go the way of San Francisco-based Levi’s, which closed its last U.S. factory in 2003, moving like much of the industry to find cheap labor in Asia and Latin America.

Economists say the city would benefit from American Apparel’s staying put.

“American Apparel occupies an important niche in the job market in Los Angeles,” said Sung Won Sohn, an economics professor at Cal State Channel Islands and vice chairman of Forever 21.

“Some immigrants qualify for high-paying jobs, and others qualify for only minimum-wage jobs. They provide employment to a lot of immigrants who don’t qualify for the high-paying jobs.

“If they were to move out of L.A., that would be a shame,” he added.

Wolfgang’s Vault, a San Francisco company that sells concert recordings and merchandise, buys plain American Apparel T-shirts and prints retro music designs on them. They are pricier than many competitors’ but worth the extra cost, said Annelise Poda, the company’s order fulfillment manager.

“They are good-quality cotton, really soft, and people really like them,” Poda said.

How important is it?

A native Canadian who attended Tufts University in Boston, Charney started selling Tshirts under the label American Apparel in 1987 with seed money cobbled together from his father, family friends, former classmates and parents of friends. Charney began his manufacturing operations in South Carolina before settling in downtown Los Angeles in 1997.

In recent years, Charney has battled multiple wrongful-termination and sexual harassment lawsuits brought by at least eight employees. The latest two suits, filed by five retail employees last spring, are now in arbitration, according to company lawyer Peter Schey. The company denies wrongdoing, but it acknowledged in response to a previous lawsuit that it operates “a sexually charged workplace” where employees deal with “sexual conduct, speech and images as part of their jobs.”

It was an unusual admission for a publicly traded company, but investors are more likely focused on the firm’s finances.

American Apparel has suffered nine straight quarterly losses.

The company booked sales of $547.3 million in 2011 but posted a net loss of $39.3 million. Shares closed Friday at 87 cents, down from their 52-week high of $1.13 last July 15.

“There’s been a lot of discussion about the importance of American companies employing American workers.

But when it comes to fashion items, that doesn’t necessarily resonate with shoppers,” said Anthony Dukes, a business professor at the University of Southern California who has studied the retail industry.

“There’s not a lot of evidence to suggest that ‘made in America’ is a great model.”

they want to earn, and the more successful they are, the more successful the company is,” Bailey said. “These people are professional apparel workers, and they are better and faster than training people in Honduras how to operate a $5,000 machine, who don’t even know how to flush a toilet because they haven’t seen one.”

Besides paying higher wages, the company has faced other drawbacks of managing a U.S. workforce. Productivity slipped dramatically after the company was forced to dismiss 1,600 workers from its downtown factory after an immigration audit in 2009, Bailey said. The company had to hire and train thousands of new workers. It has tightened its hiring practices to ensure that all its employees are working legally.

Lopez, the team supervisor, jumped to American Apparel four years ago after toiling in other Los Angeles outfits, many with sweatshop conditions. She now earns $12 an hour.

“The pay is better here than at previous places I have worked,” said Lopez, 43. “If you are a fast sewer, you can earn a good salary.”

Oishang Mai, a 60-year-old who worked for decades as a mechanic at garment factories in Guangzhou, China, says conditions are better than busing tables at Chinese restaurants, the only job he could find after moving to the U.S. two years ago.

“I’ve been working at clothing factories for decades,” Mai said. “I’m glad to have a job doing something I’m trained in.”

In addition to the two large buildings downtown, the company owns four smaller manufacturing operations in Southern California. Fabric for the company’s trademark cotton T-shirts, which come in 52 colors, is knit and dyed in those facilities before getting trucked downtown for sewing.

On a recent day, Bailey climbs into a company van and heads to the American Apparel factory in South Gate, Calif., where much of the company’s denim is cut, sewn and dyed.

In a cavernous warehouse, about 300 workers churn out shorts, skirts and brightly colored skinny jeans. From washing machines the size of compact cars, workers pull out piles of jeans freshly dyed a deep forest green and shove them into equally giant dryers that can hold 200 pounds at once.

“At first we commissioned the dyeing” from nearby companies, Bailey said. “But we ended up chasing the product all over L.A. So we ended up buying this in 2008. It made sense to do it ourselves.”

While other manufacturers are fleeing the United States, American Apparel appears to be doubling down. In addition to blue jeans, the company recently added sandals and other shoes to its lineup of products — all made in house. Its slogan, “Made in America. Sweatshop Free,” is prominently featured on its billboards, websites and print

Fiat compact packs power Caravan’s electric problems have 2 possible sources

By Warren Brown Special to The Washington Post

It is the motorized equivalent of a little dog with a big mouth — a cute toy pup that yap-yaps at everything bigger than itself, confident that it could outrun or outmaneuver the object of its taunts.

It is a confidence born of experience, possessed in ample measure by the 2012 Fiat 500 Abarth.

With an overall length of 144.4 inches, the front-wheeldrive Abarth hatchback, along with its Fiat 500 REVIEW siblings, is one of the smallest cars on sale in the United States. The Abarth is seven inches shorter and two inches narrower than the Mini Cooper, one of the most popular subcompact automobiles sold in this country.

The only car smaller is the Smart Fortwo coupe, which is 106.1 inches long.

You thus would expect the Abarth, distinguished by its red-and-yellow stylized astrological scorpion badge, to act its size. But it doesn’t. It has a pane-rattling exhaust note as loud as that of some large motorcycles. It is loud enough and reasonably fast enough — going from 0 to 60 mph in about seven seconds by the time you reach the third gear of its five-speed manual transmission — to attract unwelcome uniformed attention.

Thankfully, it’s so cute — with its huggable exterior styling and smartly designed two-tone interior — it affords you contrite wriggle room.

You apologize for the car’s outsized decibel levels, saying that the noise is the product of history, the legacy of late car designer and racer Carlo Alberto Abarth (Karl Albert Abarth, for those of you who know he was a native Austrian and naturalized Italian).

As for the ticket-territory speed, you apologize even more, express embarrassment that you somehow went so fast in a car so small. You promise to be more careful, and at the moment you actually mean it, especially when the law enforcement officer correctly points out that your tiny Fiat 500 Abarth is no match for a tree, a wall, a signpost, or even a subcompact

The 2012 Fiat 500 Abarth economy sports hatchback is a tiny car for experienced drivers. It’s Italian cute, but the author doesn’t recommend it for newbie drivers or families.

Fiat 500 Abarth Base price: $22,000 As tested: $23,700 including $1,000 in options.

Body style/layout: Frontengine, front-wheel-drive two-door economy sports hatchback.

Engine/transmission: Turbocharged 1.4-liter, 16-valve in-line fourcylinder engine linked to a five-speed manual transmission.

Mileage: Averaged 21 miles in the city and 33 miles on the highway at a consistent 65 mph during test drive.

Toyota Corolla, Chevrolet Sonic or Mini Cooper.

It is the downside of Italian cute, and largely why I still don’t recommend that parents buy a Fiat 500 of any type for newbie drivers in the family.

The Fiat 500 line comes with ample standard safety equipment — for example, ventilated front disc brakes and solid rear discs in the Abarth along with knee-bolster air bags for front passengers. But small has its

limits. In National Highway Traffic Safety Administration testing, the car gets three of five stars — a marginal-togood rating — for overall crash safety. It gets a sorry two-star rating in side-impact collisions.

As a parent, I simply cannot recommend a car with such a crash-safety rating for younger drivers. I want to see at least four stars. But for the more experienced motorists among us, the Fiat 500 Abarth is a hoot.

That’s because there is more to automobile safety than crash safety. There’s also the matter of active safety — the ability, which usually comes with driving experience, to avoid a collision in the first place. The Abarth has lots of active safety.

Steering is quick and nimble. The car comes with a sports-tuned suspension — McPherson struts up front, torsion beam in rear, with front and rear stabilizer bars. There is electronic stability and traction control to help keep you from skidding out of control or rolling over. Handling is remarkable. The Abarth knows its way around curves and in sharp turns. And it has a turning radius of 37.6 feet, small enough to make a U-turn on

will quit working. When I unhook the battery, it resets, and they all work well for a while. Then the same thing happens again. My wife thinks the problem is in the tilt steering wheel.

Sometimes the lights won’t go to bright. When I hit the high beam lever, the wipers engage. I took the trim off the steering wheel, and all the wires were good. Could all this be part of the same problem?

My instincts say no.

My Alldata automotive database pulled up Chrysler bulletin 08-040-04 dated December 2004 that describes a flash reprogramming of the body control module to address two issues. First, if the vehicle theft alarm system is activated, the alarm is triggered when unlocking the rear tailgate with the remote key fob. And secondly, the driver/passenger power door lock switches become inoperative. Your issue with the door locks may well be related to this bulletin.

But not the high beam/ turn signal problem. It’s likely the issue is in the multifunction switch that controls the high beams and turn signals. The harness for this switch flexes each time the steering wheel is tilted up or down and may have developed an internal short or

But the real fun is in its turbocharged 1.4-liter gasoline engine, which delivers a maximum 160 horsepower and 170 foot-pounds of torque (compared with 101 horsepower and 98 foot-pounds of torque in the base Fiat 500 Pop).

The Abarth scoots. It’s addictive. It moves so fast and well, you want to drive it the longest way home. I loved driving it so much, especially in congested urban traffic, I didn’t mind accepting the risks suggested by NHTSA’s so-so crash-test results.

The appearance of the Abarth caps the relaunch of the Fiat 500, line which went on sale in America earlier this year. Prediction: The fun-todrive, cute, reasonably wellmade Abarth will sell well.

Aside from the chrome grille wrinkling from an 11-below wind chill factor a few winters ago, I am currently experiencing a subtle vibration when accelerating between 30 and 37 mph. It does not seem to matter whether the engine is cold or warm. The subtle vibration is especially noticeable when accelerating up a slight grade.

I’ve suspected a fuel injector or fuel filter clog, or possibly a transmission issue. I noticed the vibration after I had my snow tires removed and my regular wheels and tires installed. Any ideas?

Has the vehicle ever had its transmission fluid and filter changed? With the cold weather you described, the “severe service” maintenance schedule calls for transmission fluid and filter replacement at 60,000 miles. The correct transmission fluid for this vehicle is ATF+4 fluid. The torque converter clutch can operate in both a partial and fully engaged mode. Slippage in either mode could be causing the shudder you’re experiencing.

Have a scan tool check for any engine or transmission fault codes, try a transmission conditioner like Trans-Tune and, if it has not been done yet, have the fluid and filter changed.

GM factory closure skims surface of continent’s automotive glut

By Alex Webb Bloomberg News.

PARIS — General Motors’ move to shutter the first German car factory since World War II addresses only a fraction of the supply glut hobbling the European auto industry.

“One would need to close at least one factory per volume manufacturer in Europe, which would be about five factories in total,” said Philippe Houchois, a UBS analyst in London, referring to Renault, PSA Peugeot Citroen, Fiat and Ford as the other four companies needing to shut plants.

Hamstrung by political pressure not to cut jobs, Europe’s carmakers have balked at shutting unprofitable plants, closing just two in the past four years: a GM facility in Belgium and a Fiat factory in Sicily.

With demand softening, overcapacity in western Europe may more than double to about 2 million vehicles in 2012, according to researcher IHS Automotive. The region’s car market will contract 7 percent this year, the European Automobile Manufacturers’ Association, or ACEA, said last week.

GM’s announcement Wednesday to shut a factory in Bochum, Germany, reflects the difficulties that European automakers face. The move will take until 2017 to carry out after the Detroit-based automaker agreed to extend job guarantees.

“Even GM seems to need five years to close down its

most marginal plant,” said David Arnold, a sales specialist with Credit Suisse in London. The prolonged closure “highlights once again that there will be no easy or indeed quick solution to the European overcapacity problem.”

Car sales across the region tumbled 7.1 percent in the first four months of the year, with the Italian, French and Greek markets all plunging 18 percent or more, according to ACEA data.

Opel is in negotiations with unions to keep the Bochum plant open until GM stops making the Zafira minivan at the factory at the end of 2016, the Ruesselsheim, Germanybased GM unit said Wednesday. Opel would extend job protections by two years through 2016 and in exchange ask workers to delay wage increases set for this year.

“Under the current economic conditions and outlook, there will be no further product allocation for Bochum after the Zafira goes out of production,” Doris Klose, an Opel spokeswoman, said by telephone. “It is currently being negotiated with the unions whether something else might be produced there.”

The deepening crisis has some carmakers calling for intervention. French Industry Minister Arnaud Montebourg said Wednesday his government is considering financial support for automakers after Renault Chief Operating Officer Carlos Tavares said he

would welcome “any kind of measure of support.” The French government owns 15 percent of Renault.

The region’s auto executives Thursday started their annual two-day gathering, led by current ACEA President and Fiat CEO Sergio Marchionne. The CEO is pushing for an industrywide plan under the auspices of the European Union that would draw up a blueprint for factory shutdowns in an effort to discourage member states from offering incentives to protect local jobs.

Thus far, his efforts have been thwarted by German automakers, which don’t have the same capacity glut in Europe as their French, Italian and American counterparts, because they make vehicles in demand in markets like the U.S. and China.

“Now that GM has opened the way, other manufacturers may find the courage to follow,” Houchois said. “The industry is now capable of financing its own restructuring.

This will be much more difficult three years from now, especially if the macroeconomic situation doesn’t improve.”

Fiat was the first European automaker to close a factory in its home country since the 2008 financial crisis when it shut a plant in Sicily in December. Before Fiat’s move, GM was the only other carmaker to shut a factory in the region in the past four years, closing a facility in Antwerp, Belgium, in 2010.

JIMMY WALTER SCOTT ASKS …

RECALLS HIS STANDOUT SNL MOMENT AT

Jimmy Fallon

The 37-year-old Saturday Night Live alum and host of Late Night With Jimmy Fallon has a new musical comedy album, Blow Your Pants Off, featuring Paul McCartney, Bruce Springsteen, and more.

What was it like singing with such music legends? I couldn’t

believe it was happening! I grew up idolizing these singers.

You couldn’t get bigger than Paul McCartney in my house.

What was the first impression you ever did? It was James Cagney when I was 2 years old. I’m on tape saying, “You dirty rat!” As I got older, I started doing Rodney Dangerfield, Steve Martin, and anyone on Saturday Night Live.

Do you have any TV addictions? My wife and I love watching reality TV shows—any of the Housewives, The Amazing Race, and Survivor. I gotta stay up on my video games, too.

Were you the class clown as a kid? I always wanted to make the teacher laugh. One of my big jokes in fourth grade was when I pointed to a nun’s habit and said, “Is that felt?” And she said, “No,” and I rubbed my hands on it and said, “Now it is!” I thought I was so funny. I found the right job, I think.

FORD, TOUGH In 1960s Montana, a 15-yearold boy’s life is upended when his parents are jailed for bank robbery, his twin sister runs off, and he’s banished across the border. Then things get worse. Canada brings new twists to author Richard Ford’s favorite themes: fate, family, and the American experience.

(1) Build a towering sand sculpture—turrets and all. For tips and tricks, go to sandcastlecentral.com.

Alan Jackson (above) is beloved for honky-tonks like “Good Time,” but on Thirty Miles West, he strikes a deep, personal chord with “When I Saw You Leaving,” a song written for his wife, who successfully battled cancer. You’ll hear plenty of Kenny Chesney’s stadium rock persona on Welcome to the Fishbowl, but it’s the laid-back, off-season Chesney who wins out with “Come Over,” a sad, slow-burning song about not being able to let go of a love.

Ask Marilyn

By Marilyn vos Savant Sunscreen manufacturers recommend that their products be applied 15 to 30 minutes before exposure to sunlight.

If you first apply a sunscreen when you’re already in the sunshine, how is its effectiveness altered? —Linda Weller, Fresno, Calif.

The effectiveness is delayed at least 15 minutes while the product dries. This can be significant exposure depending on the time of day and the fairness of one’s skin. And if you do this repeatedly—say, over the course of a weeklong vacation—you’ll build up a low level of UV radiation damage without even noticing it.

There’s no such thing as a safe suntan, including “base” tans intended to delay burning.

If one’s natural skin color has changed after UV exposure, the skin has been damaged.

WHAT’S FOR DINNER,

DAD?

Rummaging around in the kitchen of his Slidell, La., home, John Besh—a former U.S. Marine turned awardwinning celebrity chef who runs nine restaurants and has written a pair of highly regarded cookbooks—stumbled upon something that made his stomach sink: a crumpled-up fast-food bag.

He snatched up the offending item, showed it to his wife, Jenifer, and asked, “Really?”

“Yes,” she answered, unapolo-

getically. Turns out, Jenifer, who isn’t naturally drawn to the kitchen and has her hands full raising four active boys with a husband who works nights, had picked up the quickie meal. “You know,” she said, “if you were half as concerned about what your boys eat as what your customers eat, we’d have a healthier family.”

Sobering stuff for Besh, who not only enjoys a booming career as the handsome, happy face of New Orleans cooking but is a vocal

A FEW YEARS AGO, CHEF John Besh REALIZED HE’D BEEN WHIPPING UP DELICIOUS FOOD FOR EVERYONE IN THE WORLD—EXCEPT THOSE HE CARED MOST ABOUT. HERE’S HOW HE MADE ROOM FOR FAMILY MEALS. WRITTEN by BRUCE FEILER

champion of eating local. A rare combination of good ol’ boy (he hunts and fishes) and cutting-edge culinary master (he won a James Beard Foundation Award in 2006), Besh, 44, opened Restaurant August in 2001 and has since added seven more eateries in the New Orleans area, plus one in San Antonio. He is also a ubiquitous presence on reality cooking shows (his own, Chef John Besh’s Family Table, is scheduled to air on PBS in April 2013) and makes scores of appearances sup-

porting everyone from beleaguered fishermen in the Gulf of Mexico to marines in the Persian Gulf.

Besh knew Jenifer, a childhood schoolmate and his wife of 19 years, was right, and he vowed to make amends. “That moment was a turning point,” he explains on a sunny afternoon in his kitchen, as he prepares shrimp and pasta for his brood—Brendan, now 16; Jack, 11; Luke, 9; and Andrew, 7. “We needed a plan.”

He’s not the only one who’s con-

cerned about his clan’s eating habits.

The past few years have seen an explosion of interest in the family dinner. In 2003, then president George W. Bush made a public service announcement with his mom, former first lady Barbara Bush, endorsing the rituals of family dinners. (The president joked that he grew up enjoying family dinner, “so long as my mother wasn’t cooking.”) Since then, celebrities like Jamie Lee Curtis and George Lopez, and even Major

League Baseball teams like the Boston Red Sox and Los Angeles Dodgers, have taken up the cause.

One reason for all the interest is a wave of research that says children and teens who eat with their families are less likely to drink or smoke, do drugs, get pregnant, suffer from depression, and develop eating disorders. Studies have also found that children who enjoy family meals have larger vocabularies, better manners, higher self-esteem, and more resilience.

ut it is the duo’s most innovative idea that has proved the most effective: They’ve stopped stressing about having to eat dinner every night at six. First they turned “family dinner” into “family breakfast.” As Besh writes in his latest book, My Family Table: A Passionate Plea for Home Cooking, which lays out lavishly illustrated recipes from each phase of their new routine, “As a chef, I seldom have the opportunity to be that typical father who is able to spend time in the evenings with the lads. So I figure if I’m to have any quality time with them, it has to be early morning.”

Besh takes this meal on himself, with a repertoire of all the kids’ favorites—pain perdu, buttermilk pancakes, cheesy grits, and biscuits. He also leaves wraps on the table, just in case someone’s in a hurry.

Even more inventive is the Beshes’ approach to evenings. During the school year, with the boys eating lunch as early as 10:30 a.m. (the cafeteria can be overcrowded), they come home hungry, and with sports practices starting as late as 5:30 p.m. (so that parents who work can coach), the family is rarely home during dinner hour. So Jenifer began serving “dinner” every day at 4 p.m. One of the boys says grace, she serves her jury-rigged meal (it might be continued on page 17

Thankfully, real life is less complicated, he tells Shawna Malcom. “We don’t live this strange lifestyle,” says the low-key, L.A.-based star, who has two children with his wife, Nancy. “It’s very ordinary, which is what I love about it.”

Manner Up! Modern etiquette made easy

Q: My cousin Kerry got married nine months ago and though I wasn’t able to attend the ceremony, I sent a check as a wedding gift. I just found out that the check still hasn’t been cashed, and my bank’s policy is that checks over six months old are void.

Kerry and I aren’t that close, so I’m not sure what to do: Should I send her a replacement with a note explaining that the check was never cashed? Or is that too awkward? —Alexandra J.,

ILLUSTRATION: GRAFILU

Youngstown, Ohio

A: Good manners are running amok here! Asking “Why didn’t you cash my check?” may seem a little awkward, but any discomfort on your cousin’s end will surely fade amid the warm glow of cold, hard cash.

Remember, you wanted her to have the gift, and she probably lost it in the throes of wedding fever. I’ll bet your coz was too polite to ask you to replace it, so she didn’t say anything. My advice: Send a new check with a note. Even though you’re not in frequent contact, it’s a nice way to check up on the newlyweds. And hey, it’s been nine months; maybe you’ll soon have a reason to send another congratulatory check.

SWEAT. SCORE. AS YOU GET OLDER, REALLY GREAT. BUT DON’T FORGET TO VACCINATE. Now’s the time to help prevent Shingles with ZOSTAVAX® (Zoster Vaccine Live).

ZOSTAVAX is a vaccine that helps prevent Shingles in adults 50 years of age or older. Shingles is caused by the same virus that causes chickenpox. The virus stays in your body and can resurface at any time as Shingles—a painful, blistering rash. And no matter how healthy you feel, your risk increases as you get older.

The sooner you get vaccinated with ZOSTAVAX, the better your chances of protecting yourself from Shingles. In fact, the ACIP* of the CDC (Centers for Disease Control and Prevention) recommends that appropriate adults 60 years of age and older get vaccinated to help prevent Shingles.

Talk to your health care professional to see if ZOSTAVAX is right for you.

ZOSTAVAX is given as a single shot. ZOSTAVAX cannot be used to treat Shingles, or the nerve pain that may follow Shingles, once you have it. For more information, visit ZOSTAVAX.com or call 1-877-9 SHINGLES.

ABOUT ZOSTAVAX ZOSTAVAX is a vaccine that is used for adults 50 years of age or older to prevent Shingles (also known as zoster).

Important Safety Information 𰁴 ZOSTAVAX does not protect everyone, so some people who get the vaccine may still get Shingles. 𰁴 You should not get ZOSTAVAX if you are allergic to any of its ingredients, including gelatin or neomycin, have a weakened immune system, take high doses of steroids, or are pregnant or plan to become pregnant.

You should not get ZOSTAVAX to prevent chickenpox. 𰁴 Talk to your health care professional if you plan to get ZOSTAVAX at the same time as PNEUMOVAX®23 (Pneumococcal Vaccine Polyvalent) because it may be better to get these vaccines at least 4 weeks apart. 𰁴 Possible side effects include redness, pain, itching, swelling, hard lump, warmth, or bruising at the injection site, as well as headache. 𰁴 ZOSTAVAX contains a weakened chickenpox virus. Tell your health care professional if you will be in close contact with newborn infants, someone who may be pregnant and has not had chickenpox or been vaccinated against chickenpox, or someone who has problems with their immune system. Your health care professional can tell you what situations you may need to avoid.

You are encouraged to report negative side effects of prescription drugs to the FDA. Visit www.fda.gov/medwatch or call 1-800-FDA-1088.

Please read the Patient Information on the adjacent page for more detailed information. *ACIP=Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices

Before you get Shingles, get vaccinated.

What is ZOSTAVAX and how does it work?

ZOSTAVAX is a vaccine that is used for adults 50 years of age or older to prevent shingles (also known as zoster).

You should not get ZOSTAVAX to prevent chickenpox.

ZOSTAVAX contains a weakened chickenpox virus (varicella-zoster virus).

ZOSTAVAX works by helping your immune system protect you from getting shingles.

If you do get shingles even though you have been vaccinated, ZOSTAVAX may help prevent the nerve pain that can follow shingles in some people. ZOSTAVAX does not protect everyone, so some people who get the vaccine may still get shingles.

ZOSTAVAX cannot be used to treat shingles, or the nerve pain that may follow shingles, once you have it.

Children should not get ZOSTAVAX. How is ZOSTAVAX given?

ZOSTAVAX is given as a single dose by injection under the skin.

What should I tell my health care p rovider before I get ZOSTAVAX?

Sunday Joe One thing I loved about my dad is that he believed in the American dream and was a hopeless romantic.

He taught us that if you worked hard and loved what you did, you’d be successful. Even when he was out of work for a year and a half, he always believed that better days were ahead.

And you know what? He was right to have faith in his God and in his country.

MIKA BRZEZINSKI: My father taught me to look at failure as a good thing, even if you don’t realize it at the time, because it opens the door to other opportunities. When I called him the day I was fired from CBS, weeping, that’s what he told me, and he was right. It was like getting a gentle, fatherly, loving embrace over the phone. It made me feel like the little girl he used to hug when I fell down.

JOE: I think the quality I admired most in my father was how joyous he was. He just loved life. He loved his wife, he loved his family, and he threw himself at everything he did with great gusto. This is my second Father’s Day without him. He

passed away last year, and it’s still hard to believe he’s gone.

MIKA: What I admire most is my father’s moral compass; it guides everything he does. One thing

both he and my mother imparted to us was to always have goals.

They really felt that part of building kids was to educate them, to teach them to have

interests so they can contribute.

The only thing I didn’t listen to was how hard to study. I got into trouble with every report card.

JOE: The worst trouble I ever got into was when I was 5 years old and my ne’er-do-well friend across the street coaxed me into going into our neighbors’ house and opening up all of their Christmas presents while they were away. This was the great scandal of 1969. The punishment was extreme. I was not allowed to watch Mr. Ed for a week.

MIKA: I try to incorporate the lessons my father taught me as a parent. Sometimes I wonder if I’m measuring up. I feel challenged by today’s society and technology and everything that kids seem to get so easily now.

JOE: Mika and I both work very long hours. I often find myself dragging when I get home, but then I remember how active my father was, and how energetic and joyous he was. And that gets me up out of the chair so I can be that kind of father to my kids.

Homemaker Invents A Shine That Lasts Miracle Polish Ends Struggle With Tarnishing Metals. By D.H. Wagner

L

ately I have noticed quite a few newspapers and magazines praising a polish formulated by a homemaker. The articles report that Donna Maas grew frustrated with rubbing and scrubbing her silver, brass and other metals only to see them quickly become dull and tarnished again. Determined to put an end to her constant battle with tarnish Donna formulated a metal cleaner and it’s transforming the industry.

Anita Gold, nationally syndicated columnist and expert on the restoration of antiques calls MAAS (named after its inventor) “The best and most amazing polish in the world.” Ms. Gold wrote in her column, “A truly miraculous polish referred to as “miracle polish” that’ll turn the most disastrous pieces into the most de-brightful is MAAS Fine Polishing Creme For All Metals, which cleans, restores, preserves and polishes to perfection any brass, copper, chrome, silver, stainless steel, aluminum, gold or any other metal with amazing results – no matter how badly stained, spotted, discolored, flood-damaged, weathered, dirty, dingy, drab, or dull they may be.”

Since I had an old brass lamp in desperate need of restoration, this journalist decided to put MAAS to the test. The lamp had been stored in the garage and was in far worse condition than I remembered. I was flabbergasted as I watched the polishing creme wipe away layers and years of tarnish. Never have I used anything so easy.

The lamp actually looks better than when I purchased it. Better yet, months later it’s still glowing!

The polish worked so effortlessly, I decided to refurbish my mother’s collection of antique brass and copper cookware. The badly stained pots and pans developed black spots that had been impossible to remove.

MAAS wiped away the years of built-up residue even from the most discolored pieces. While polishing the pots and pans, I noticed MAAS applying a shine on the stainless steel sink. So I cleaned the entire sink with the creme. WOW! The shine is unbelievable

and although I wash dishes every day, the shine keeps-on-shining. And it’s no longer covered with ugly water spots – water just rolls off the protective finish and down the drain.

An independent consumer study of 28 metal polishes reports, “MAAS Polishing Creme has no equals in all around polishing performance...”

MAAS retained its shine longer than every polish tested. Good Housekeeping Institute recommends MAAS for restoring heavily tarnished heirlooms stating, MAAS cleans best and gives lasting results.”

The Miami Herald says “Polishing product can renew old silver.” The Chicago Tribune headline sums it all up by saying “One Amazing Polish Is The Best At Everything.”

How did a homemaker come up with something the industry’s experts couldn’t? The reporter in me had to find out.

During our interview Donna explained, “I enjoy the warmth that beautifully polished metals add to a home. However, not the hours it took to keep them tarnish free. The harsh cleaners always left my hands dry and burning – one instant silver dip smelled so bad I felt sick. When I read the label, I discovered it contained cancercausing ingredients. That's when I became determined to find a better way to care for the metals in my home.”

And that she did. Her formula developed in conjunction with a chemist friend quickly restores and leaves a deep, rich one-of-a-kind luster beyond anything I've ever seen.

“To my surprise,” Donna reveals, “the formula far exceeded my original goal. MAAS restores glass fireplace doors, clouded crystal vases, fiberglass, linoleum and even plastic.

The restorations were so remarkable everyone suggested that I sell my invention on television.”

Donna sent samples of her polish to televised shopping channels and both QVC and The Home Shopping Network asked Donna to personally appear on TV to demonstrate her product. 17,000 viewers called during MAAS’ debut and encore performances quickly brought a million dollars in record-breaking sales.

Leona Toppel was about to throw away a brass chandelier.

“No amount of elbow grease could shine it up. With very little effort (a big plus for me because I suffer from arthritis) MAAS made that chandelier look like new. It’s been years and to everyone's surprise it’s still glowing.”

“MAAS outperforms every polish I’ve tried,” Donna beams with satisfaction. “So if you’re as tired as I was of cleaning metals just to see tarnish reappear a few weeks later, MAAS it!”

At Last, A Polish That Keeps Metals Shining!

Finally, you can restore every metal and more to it’s original beauty with MAAS easy wipe-on, wipe-off, no-wait polish. Just send $12.95 plus $5.95 S&H for one large 4 oz. tube of MAAS. Save when you order two tubes and receive a FREE polishing cloth (total value $33.85) for only $19.95 plus $5.95 S&H. Illinois residents add 7.25% sales tax.

HOW

GET BENEFITS FROM THE ECONOMIC & PROPERTY DAMAGES SETTLEMENT

TO

You need to submit a Claim Form to request a payment.

You can get a copy of the various Claim Forms by visiting the website or by calling 1-866-992-6174. Claims can be submitted online or by mail. If you have questions about how to file your claim, you should call the toll-free number for assistance.

The deadline to submit most E&PD claims will be April 22, 2014 or six months after the E&PD Settlement becomes effective (that is, after the Court grants “final approval” and any appeals are resolved), whichever is later. There will be an earlier deadline to submit E&PD Seafood Compensation claims. The earlier deadline to submit Seafood Compensation claims will be 30 days after final approval of the Settlement by the United States District Court for the Eastern District of Louisiana (regardless of appeals). Actual claim filing deadlines will be posted on the website as they become available. Valid claims will be paid as they are approved, beginning shortly after the Court-Supervised Settlement Program commences. It is highly recommended that E&PD Settlement Class Members complete and submit their claim forms promptly. Please read the Medical Benefits Settlement notice because you may also be eligible for benefits from that settlement.

YOUR OTHER OPTIONS If you do not want to be legally bound by the E&PD Settlement, you must Opt Out or exclude yourself by October 1, 2012 or you won’t be able to sue BP over certain economic and property damage claims. If you stay in the E&PD Settlement, you may object to it by August 31, 2012.

The Detailed Notice explains how to exclude yourself or object.

The Court will hold a hearing on November 8, 2012 to consider whether to approve the E&PD Settlement. You or your own lawyer may ask to appear and speak at the hearing at your own cost. The Court will also consider Class Counsel fees, costs, and expenses including an interim payment of $75 million and additional awards equal to 6% of class claims and benefits paid. Class Counsel fees, costs and expenses under the Economic and Property Damages Settlement Agreement and the Medical Benefits Settlement Agreement jointly cannot exceed $600 million. Class members’ payments will not be reduced if the Court approves the payment of Class Counsel fees, costs, and expenses because BP will separately pay these attorney fees, costs, and expenses.
