The Commercial ReviewSaturday, May 23, 2015

By KATHRYNE RUBRIGHTThe Commercial ReviewIn the morning in front

of Judge Haynes Elemen-tary, students walk downthe sidewalk, grab a popsi-cle stick and turn aroundto walk another lap.The sticks are a way to

keep track of mileage; themore sticks a student has,the farther he or shewalked that morning.Since January, students

have been walking eachmorning to prepare for theschool day.“We started this pro-

gram to basically get kidsmoving in the morningand have their brains pre-pared to come learn,” saidprincipal Erica Tomano.The benefits of walking

include reducing stressand increasing creativity,Tomano said.“The teachers can defi-

nitely tell that the kids arecoming in more alert andready to learn right away,”she added. Fifth-grade students

Maddax Huftel and AlexisBust walk together in themornings.Walking helps Huftel

wake up for language arts,her first class, she said.She also likes that she getsto talk to friends beforeschool starts.The students have col-

lectively walked 2,800miles since January, saidintervention specialistKatie Berno, who usuallystands outside to monitor

the students and hand outsticks. This is nearly dou-ble the original goal of1,500 miles set in January.When the sticks fill a

bucket, that means stu-dents have walked another60 miles, Tomano said.Then it’s time for CharlieHorse, a character in theschool’s wild west theme,to move another 60 mileson a map.“You say 2,800 miles,

that doesn’t mean as muchto an elementary studentas seeing it on a map,”Tomano said.Charlie Horse started in

Texas, made his way northto Indiana, headed toPennsylvania and is nowon his way back to Texas.

By DAVID ESPO andCHARLES BABINGTONAssociated PressWASHINGTON — In a

victory for PresidentBarack Obama, the Senatepassed bipartisan legisla-tion Friday night tostrengthen the adminis-tration’s hand in globaltrade talks, clearing theway for a highly unpre-dictable summer show-down in the House.The vote was 62-37 to

give Obama authority tocomplete trade deals thatCongress could approve orreject, but not change. Atotal of 48 Republicanssupported the measure,but only 14 the Senate’s 44Democrats backed a presi-dent of their own party onlegislation near the top ofhis second-term agenda.Obama hailed the vote

in a statement that saidtrade deals “done right”are important to “expand-ing opportunities for themiddle class, leveling theplaying field for Americanworkers and establishingrules for the global econo-my that help our business-es grow and hire.”Separate legislation to

prevent parts of the anti-terror Patriot Act fromlapsing, and a bill to pre-vent a cutoff in federalhighway funding, alsoawaited action by lawmak-ers who covetously eyed aweeklong vacation — setto begin whenever thework was done.Senate passage of the

trade bill capped twoweeks of tense votes andnear-death experiences forlegislation the administra-tion hopes will help com-plete an agreement withJapan and 10 other coun-tries in the Pacific region.Senate Majority Leader

Mitch McConnell, R-Ky.,who was Obama’s indis-pensable ally in passingthe bill, said it would cre-ate “new opportunities forbigger paychecks, betterjobs and a stronger econo-my.“The tools it contains

will allow us to knockdown unfair foreign tradebarriers that discriminateagainst American workersand products stamped‘Made in the USA,’” hesaid.A fierce fight is likely in

the House.See PPaasssseess page 2

INDIANAPOLIS (AP) —A new report from theIndiana Department ofChild Services has foundthat 49 children died ofabuse or neglect in thestate during fiscal year2013.Officials reviewed the

circumstances behind 286children’s deaths thatoccurred between July 1,2012, and June 30, 2013. Ofthose cases, The Indi-anapolis Star reports that35 deaths resulted fromneglect and 14 died fromabuse. The number of neg-

lect-related deaths hadrisen 84 percent from theprevious year.But the increase was not

the result of more deaths.Child services spokesmanJames Wide attributed therise in neglect determina-tions to officials receiving

more complete informa-tion from various sources,including local child serv-ices officials and police.Drowning was the most

common cause of neglect-related deaths for kids.Fourteen childrendrowned during that time

period because of lack ofsupervision, according tothe report.Other causes of death

included gunshot wounds,drug overdose, beating,stabbing, suffocation,burning and malnutri-tion.

By E. EDUARDO CASTILLO and KATHERINE CORCORANAssociated PressECUANDUREO, Mexico — At

least 43 people died Friday inwhat was described as a fierce,three-hour gunbattle betweenfederal forces and a suspecteddrug gang on a ranch in westernMexico, the deadliest such con-frontation in recent memory.

All the dead were suspectedcriminals except for one federalpolice officer, National SecurityCommissioner Monte AlejandroRubido said. He said the officerdied trying to help a colleaguewounded in the shootout.Photographs from the scene

showed bodies, some with semi-automatic rifles and otherswithout weapons, lying in fields,

near farm equipment and on ablood-stained patio strewn withclothes, mattresses and sleepingbags. Video obtained by TheAssociated Press showed federalpolice coming under fire andbodies strewn throughout aranch.Rubido said the suspects were

members of “a criminal organi-zation operating in Jalisco

state,” but did not mention theJalisco New Generation, thedrug cartel that dominates thearea where the battle eruptedand has grown rapidly in recentyears to become one of Mexico’sbiggest organized crime groups.Rubido said the confrontation

started Friday morning in themunicipality of Tanhauto.

By LISA LERER, MATTHEW LEEand JACK GILLUMAssociated PressWASHINGTON — Former

Secretary of State Hillary Rod-ham Clinton received informa-tion on her private emailaccount about the deadly attackon U.S. diplomatic facilities inBenghazi that was later classi-fied “secret” at the request of

the FBI, according to documentsreleased Friday, underscoringlingering questions about howresponsibly she handled sensi-tive information on a home serv-er.The nearly 900 pages of her

correspondence released by theState Department also containedseveral messages that weredeemed sensitive but unclassi-

fied, detailed her daily scheduleand contained information —censored in the documents asreleased — about the CIA thatthe government is barred frompublicly disclosing.Taken together, the correspon-

dence provides examples ofmaterial considered to be sensi-tive that Clinton, the front-run-ner for the 2016 Democratic pres-

idential nomination, received onthe account run out of her home.She has said the private serverhad “numerous safeguards.”Clinton’s decision while secre-

tary of state to opt out of a StateDepartment email account hasbecome a political problem forher, as the Republican-led Housecommittee investigating theBenghazi attacks has used the

disclosures of her email usage topaint her as secretive and abovestandard scrutiny.Clinton, campaigning in New

Hampshire, said Friday she wasaware that the FBI now wantedsome of the email to be classi-fied, “but that doesn’t changethe fact all of the information inthe emails was handled appro-priately.”

Obituaries

Continued from page 1When he started in

Texas, the students werewalking inside becauseof the weather. Now theywalk outside, which Huf-tel said she likes havingthe opportunity to do.About 100 students

from the school’s uppergrades are outside eachmorning. Tomano saidthe program began withthe older students totweak it and prepare tohave all 220 or so studentswalking next year.The idea to have stu-

dents walk in the morn-ing came out of the SafeRoutes to School pro-gram, Tomano said. Arepresentative from thatprogram, which willbegin in Portland withconstruction of side-walks along Middle andHigh streets from VotawStreet (Ind. 67) to JudgeHaynes, encouraged theidea.“Part of the reason

they want to do the SafeRoutes to School is to getmore kids walkingbecause of the studiesthat prove that thisincreases academics,”Tomano said. While walking benefits

academics, students maybe more interested intheir physical achieve-ments.Some students are able

to walk a mile beforeclass, which they get real-ly excited about, Bernosaid.“They’re excited. ‘I got

a mile in before startingmy day!’” Tomano said.Now it’s part of the day

many students look for-ward to.“It’s been great. They

love it,” Tomano said. “Ifwe don’t walk, they’ll askus, ‘Are we walkingtoday?’”

‘Secret’ emails went to personal account

Walked ...Continued from page 1

Speaker John Boehner supportsthe measure, and said in a writtenstatement that Republicans will dotheir part to pass it.But in a challenge to Obama, the

Ohio Republican added that “ulti-mately success will requireDemocrats putting politics asideand doing what’s best for the coun-try.”

Dozens of majority Republicanscurrently oppose the legislation,either out of ideological reasons orbecause they are loath to enhanceObama’s authority, especially attheir own expense.And Obama’s fellow Democrats

show little inclination to supportlegislation that much of organizedlabor opposes.In the run-up to a final Senate

vote, Democratic supporters of thelegislation were at pains to lay torest concerns that the legislation,like previous trade bills, could beblamed for a steady loss of jobs.“The Senate now has the oppor-

tunity to throw the 1990s NAFTAplaybook into the dust bin of his-tory,” said Sen. Ron Wyden, D-Ore.He referred to the North AmericanFree Trade Agreement, passed two

decades ago, and a symbol to thisday, fairly or not, of the loss ofunemployment to a country withlax worker safety laws and lowwages.Like Obama, Wyden and others

said this law had far stronger pro-tections built into it.One final attempt to add another

one failed narrowly, 51-48, a fewhours before the bill cleared.

Continued from page 1Soldiers, federal police and state and

federal investigators responded to areport of the sudden appearance ofarmed men on a ranch. During theoperation, federal forces encountered atruck full of armed men who openedfire and when they chased the gunmenonto the ranch, they came under heavyfire by others, he said.“The rest of the presumed criminals

on the property started to attack withintensity,” Rubido said.The federal force called for air and

ground support, which included apolice helicopter.The size of the ranch, 112 hectares

(277 acres), complicated the battle,which lasted for three hours, Rubidosaid.He said the investigation continued

but that so far authorities had detainedthree people and confiscated 36 semi-

automatic weapons, two smaller arms,a grenade launcher that had been firedand a .50-caliber rifle.The lop-sided results were similar to

a controversial case last June 30 inwhich Mexico’s army said its troopshad engaged in a shootout with allegedcriminals in which 22 suspects werekilled but only one soldier injured. Aninvestigation by The Associated Pressrevealed that many of suspects hadbeen killed after they surrendered.Rubido emphasized that both state

and national human rights teams weredispatched immediately to investigateFriday’s bloodshed at the ranch, whichresidents of the area said is called Ran-cho del Sol.The border of Michoacan and Jalisco

states is an area dominated by theJalisco New Generation cartel and ithas been the scene of numerous inci-dents of cartel violence in recent years.

time on the job and havecommunicated with themoccasionally through theyears on birthdays andholidays. Eventually, I moved

away for college and wasno longer able to sit forthem.Both kids now are on

Facebook, and I (foolishly)accepted their friendrequests. I use Facebook to keep

in touch with family mem-bers or for school groupprojects, so I am on onlyonce or twice a week. The girl messages me

almost daily with "Hey" orsimilar short things. I amunable to dedicate time tothis kind of interactioneven within my own agegroup, but I feel bad leav-ing so many messagesunanswered. What can I tell her? I'd

To the editor:They are planted.The tree saplings on West

Water Street are what I initiallyrefer to, but no doubt, this state-ment also refers to the Rotariansthemselves. Rooted and ground-ed in community service, Port-land Rotary Club helped toaccomplish the planting of 13more little trees on the Saturdaybefore Mother’s Day.Although my husband and I

are not members of the PortlandRotary, we had the privilege ofparticipating in the preparation

of 119 tree saplings that the clubalso donated to be sent homewith fourth grade school chil-dren this year, as part of a pro-gram that has been in place forapproximately 40 years now.When that project was complet-

ed, members of Rotary then, onhands and knees, planted moreof their donated trees at variouslocations on West Water Streetas part of a community improve-ment project.It has been said that “many

hands make light work,” buteven beyond is the motivation ofthe hearts that puts those handsto work. Thank you Rotariansfor your generous hearts andhands … from the bottom of ourhearts.Also with this opportunity,

there are many other “thank

yous” that must not be leftunsaid. Thank you Dane Snyderfor jumping onboard and plant-ing six trees of your own to addto the project. Thank you to Port-land Mayor Randy Geesaman,street and parks departmentsuperintendent Ryan Myers andwater department superintend-ent Doug Jackson for your inputand assistance, to Pioneer Pack-aging for your tree plantings,along with Hutzler Automotive,Portland U-Loc and T.J.’s Con-crete Construction for your con-tributions.

Lastly, but not at all in theleast, thank you to the manyother participants, propertyowners and passers-by for yourwords of encouragement andgratitude.We too are extremely grateful

and are looking forward to thefuture growth and blooming ofour stationary friends andneighbors in this community wenow call home.Portland, a great place to

grow.Mike and Cyndy EversPortland

Portland is a great place to growLetters tothe Editor

By MARK BUCHANANBloomberg NewsIs the world getting

more peaceful?Some academics think

so. New research, though,suggests they might be get-ting their math wrong.Since 1945, armed con-

flicts between great pow-ers have become much lessfrequent, and the annualnumber of fatalities hasconsistently declined. Thishas led some people —among them the noted psy-chologist Steven Pinker, inhis book “The BetterAngels of Our Nature” —to suggest that humanitymay, perhaps, be growingout of war and movinginto a more peaceful era.It’s an idea that militaryhistorians find intriguing,and quite plausible.Unfortunately, it may

also be wishful thinking.Getting statistics right ishard, and it’s especiallyhard when dealing withwars, which — like earth-quakes and financial mar-kets — follow a highlyerratic pattern. Long peri-ods of relative stability arepunctuated by sudden, cat-astrophic events, such asWorld War II, which tookthe lives of millions. Sta-tistically speaking, thedata have “fat tails,” mean-ing that a few observationsaccount for most of thephenomenon being stud-ied. As a result, indicatorssuch as the average num-ber of deaths per year canbe misleading — after anybig event, things willalways look like they’regetting better.To get a clearer sense of

what’s really going on, thestatistician Pasquale Ciril-lo, working alongside Nas-sim Taleb of “The BlackSwan” fame, did an analy-sis using extreme valuetheory — a branch ofmathematics specificallydesigned for such prob-lems. Looking at war dataover 2,000 years, theyfound that violent conflictshave fatter tails thanearthquakes and markets,suggesting an even moreprofound tendency toextremes.“History as seen from

tail analysis,” Cirillo andTaleb conclude, “is farmore risky, and conflictsfar more violent thanacknowledged by naiveobservation.”Cirillo and Taleb also

found no evidence thatwars cluster together, asearthquakes and episodesof financial volatility areknown to do. Rather, bigwars follow no trend andsimply occur with equallikelihood through time.Doing the statistics

right, they argue, showsthat the recent peacefulpast is almost certainlycausing us to seriouslyunderestimate how much

violent conflict we’re like-ly see in the future. Someof this has been knownsince the 1960s (I wroteabout the topic in a book 15years ago), and otherrecent studies have foundsimilarly dissentingviews.European economists

Mark Harrison and Niko-laus Wolf, for example,have looked at the totalnumber of bilateral con-flicts between nationsgoing back to 1870, findingthat the total number ofsuch conflicts has actuallybeen increasing from thento the present. Indeed, thenumber of countries atwar at any given time hassteadily been rising.To be fair to Pinker, his

book was about a lot morethan war. His point wasthat many forms of vio-lence, including torture,homicide, slavery and vio-lence against women, evencruelty to animals, havebecome less pronounced inmodern times. Nothing inthis new analysis runsagainst that.These trends may be

real, and we can hope theycontinue. Wars, however,don’t seem to be similarlyin decline — at least sucha conclusion does not fol-low from careful mathe-matical analysis of thedata.Pinker and Taleb have

squabbled over this topicin the past. Taleb critizedand Pinker fired back.Although the new study

should help clarify whatthe data on wars imply, itprobably won’t be the endof the debate.

Level of peaceisn’t quite clear

By JOHN KRULLTheStatehouseFile.comINDIANAPOLIS — Mike Pence

must feel pretty lonely these days.At times it seems as though the

Indiana governor is the only Repub-lican politician in America not run-ning for president of the UnitedStates.By some counts, there already are

15 GOP candidates for the nation’shighest office. By others, therecould be as many as 21 Republicanswho, come Jan. 20, 2017, say theywant to hear “Hail to the Chief”whenever they enter a room.A field that large will create some

interesting problems for Republi-cans. Just planning their debateswill be a challenge.Where, for example, will they find

a stage and venue large enough toaccommodate 21 — or even just 15— candidates and lecterns? TheGrand Canyon?And, should the organizers not

want the GOP presidential primarydebates to run longer than theJerry Lewis Labor Day telethonsused to, figuring out ways toinclude more than introductions,opening statements, closing state-ments and a final thank you will bedifficult.At one time, it appeared Pence

might lead that crowded field.The fact that he’s not running —

and so many others are — sayssomething not just about Pence’spolitical fortunes but also about theparty of which he is a member.One reason so many GOP hope-

fuls plan to joust for a shot at occu-pying the Oval Office is the seat isopen in 2016 — meaning the Repub-lican candidate won’t have to battlean incumbent in the general elec-tion. Incumbent presidents havehuge advantages in terms of settingthe agenda, dictating the cam-paign’s tempo, raising money andcommanding the spotlight.

That’s why it’s been 24 yearssince an incumbent president lost are-election bid.The open seat might account for

five or six GOP presidential candi-dates — but not 15 or 21. That thereare so many Republicans who thinkthey may be able to leverage devoutsupport from a political base, how-ever small that base might be, intocontrol of the entire party showshow fragmented the GOP is rightnow.The Republican Party is less an

organized entity than it is a collec-tion of loosely linked groups andgrievances.That’s not unusual. Many politi-

cal coalitions, particularly thosethat have to overcome entrenchedpower, are united by their opposi-tion to perceived injustices.Such coalitions, though, are

always vulnerable at the seams.The New Deal coalition thatFranklin Roosevelt put togethercame apart when Republicans skill-fully exploited the tensionsbetween labor unions, upwardlymobile Americans who were leav-ing the working class behind andmembers of the various civil rightsmovements.Ronald Reagan also put together

an effective and long-lasting coali-tion. He brought together socialconservatives (the religious right)and economic conservatives (thesupply-siders). In doing so, hebrought the curtain down on FDR’sNew Deal and ushered in a new erain American politics.

But Reagan’s coalition alwayswas an uneasy one. Even when hewas president, social conservativesfelt their purported partners, theeconomic conservatives, weregiven a lot of the items on theirwish list — tax cuts, deregulation,even targeted bailouts — while thereligious right just received patson the head and words of consola-tion.The social conservatives wanted

rollbacks on abortion and supportof other social policies they see asdemanded by their faith. And, after35 years of waiting for their turn tocome, they have grown not justimpatient, but furious.It was in that context the fight

over the Religious FreedomRestoration Act in Indianaoccurred. When much of theHoosier business community cameout in favor of same-sex marriageand in opposition to RFRA, socialconservatives felt betrayed.The RFRA doomed Pence’s

chances of being president thistime around — and even imperiledhis chances of being re-elected gov-ernor — in part because hethought it was possible to hold theold Reagan coalition together.But that’s a Humpty Dumpty

fool’s errand.It wasn’t just that Pence was less

than adroit politically, though hewas. The task was an impossibleone.Not even Reagan could be Rea-

gan now.And that’s why we have 15, 21 or

even more Republicans runningfor president.
