Mayor discusses budget, election By KAYLEE OSOWSKI Peninsula Clarion

Kenai Peninsula Borough Mayor Mike Navarre announced Tuesday that he plans to run for re-election. “I care very deeply about the Kenai Peninsula Borough,” Navarre said at the joint Kenai and Soldotna Chambers of Commerce luncheon at the Soldotna Regional Sports Complex. “I’ve got a lot of experience and information I’ve accumulated overtime. I’m going to keep doing the job the way that I have been doing it.” He said during his last campaign

he refused to say he was going to cut taxes and government because every candidate says that and doesn’t follow through. Cost and budgets go up annually, he said, but while campaigning previously he said he was going to get spending from reserves “under control.” He said the borough achieved that goal with more than a $1.5 million surplus between revenues and expenditures. Sales tax revenue increase, additional unanticipated state funding and good budget management are three contributing factors to the surplus, he said.

JUNEAU — The House Finance Committee voted Tuesday to remove language from an abortion funding bill that called for the state to provide expanded women’s health and family planning services. The language had been added to SB49 on the Senate floor last year and offered by Sen. Berta Gardner, D-Anchorage. The bill seeks to further define what constitutes a medically necessary abortion for the purposes of Medicaid payments. It went before the committee Tuesday with a companion House bill, HB173. The committee heard about 3 1/2 hours of testimony over two

meetings but kept the bill for further consideration. Senate Majority Leader John Coghill, R-North Pole, the sponsor of SB49, said he objected to the amendment regarding the health program, calling it a mandate beyond services the state already provides. The committee voted 8-3 to adopt a version of the bill without the language. Voting against were Reps. Les Gara, D-Anchorage, David Guttenberg, D-Fairbanks, and Lindsey Holmes, R-Anchorage. The Alaska Supreme Court has held that the state must fund medically necessary abortions if it pays for other procedures deemed medically necessary for people in need.

Dunleavy: Let people decide proposed amendments

In the news

JUNEAU — Sen. Mike Dunleavy said Tuesday that Alaskans should get the chance to cast their vote on proposed constitutional changes pertaining to issues like education and marriage. Dunleavy, R-Wasilla, is sponsoring a proposed amendment that would allow for public money to be used for private or religious schools, and he has urged his colleagues to advance the proposal to let the people have their say. He said he has faith in the people of Alaska and tends toward allowing them to vote on those issues. But he made clear that just because he supports giving voters their say doesn’t mean he supports striking the current constitutional ban on same-sex marriage, as proposed by Senate Minority Leader Hollis French. Proposed constitutional amendments require a twothirds vote in each the House and Senate before they can qualify for the ballot. Sens. Pete Kelly and Peter Micciche indicated that they were glad there was such a high bar. Kelly, R-Fairbanks, said he would not challenge his colleagues to advance a proposal just to let the people vote. Micciche, R-Soldotna, said he thought French’s proposal would struggle for support.

JUNEAU (AP) — House Democrats have confirmed Sam Kito III as the newest member of the state Legislature. Gov. Sean Parnell last week chose Kito from among three candidates forwarded by the Tongass Democrats to fill the House seat vacated when Juneau Democrat Beth Kerttula resigned for a fellowship at Stanford University. Kerttula resigned Jan. 24. Under the law, the appointment must be confirmed by members in the same chamber and of the same political party as the person who previously held the seat. House Minority Leader Chris Tuck, D-Anchorage, said Tuesday that it was a quick, unanimous decision among House Democrats to confirm Kito. He

said the vote happened Monday night in his office. Tuck said Rep. Harriet Drummond, D-Anchorage, is away tending to a “family medical situation.” While she is gone, he said the minority will ask that Kito be allowed to serve on her committees, House Education and House Community and Regional Affairs, until she gets back. He said the minority will ask that Kito stay on Community and Regional Affairs after she returns. Kito’s confirmation brings back to 10 the number of minority Democrats in the 40-member House. Four other Democrats caucus with the majority Republicans. Kito was expected to be sworn in on Wednesday, the Democrats said.

Trial set for Homer Pink harvest creates market glut sexual assault case ‘Even though the By DAN BALMER Peninsula Clarion

A trial date has been set for two Homer brothers both charged with sexually assaulting a 17-year old boy with an object at a teenage drinking party in September 2012. Anthony Resetarits, 21, and Joseph Resetarits, 19, appeared at their court hearing telephonically before Superior Court Judge Carl Bauman at the Kenai Courthouse Monday. The two men pleaded not guilty at their arraignment last October. Judge Bauman asked the defense for an update on the confiscation of cell phone photos

from teens at the party for evidence to the alleged crime. Michael Moberly, Joseph Resetarits’ attorney, who attended the hearing telephonically, said Apple Inc. has seized a number of phones, although it is unclear how many and when the phones were reviewed. Due to user privacy reasons, Apple has to search the phone, which can take up to six months, he said. Alaska State Troopers had tried to search Joseph Resetarits’ phone, but he declined, Moberly said. Phillip Weidner, Anthony Resetarits’ attorney said telephonically, he was concerned See TRIAL, page A-10

JUNEAU (AP) — State officials say Alaska’s record pink salmon harvest in 2013 could create a market glut that will drive prices down for several years. The state Division of Economic Development sees a glut in supply after the 2013 harvest, bringing downward pressure on prices, KFSKradio reported. “The 2013 pink harvest was the largest on record,” said division director Joe Jacobson before the House Fisheries Committee this month. “It’s led to a glut of supply and it will probably, there will be downward pressure on prices because of it. And it’s really C

— Tom Sunderlund, Ocean Beauty Seafoods been a pretty tremendous impact.” Alaska fishing fleets caught 219 million pink salmon last year. That helped fill an estimated 4 million cases of tall

pink cans and left companies with almost 5 million cases in inventory. Wholesale prices for cases of tall pink salmon cans topped $100 in 2012 and 2013, more than double what they were a decade ago. “Even though the catch was big, we’re not having any real problems moving through it,” said Tom Sunderlund, vice president of marketing for Ocean Beauty Seafoods, a company that processes pinks in Alaska. Demand for Alaska salmon seems to keep growing, he said. “That isn’t to say we don’t See PINK, page A-10

Obituaries Edna Margaret (Fenimore) Jones Longtime Kenai resident Edna Margaret (Fenimore) Jones, 87, passed away Monday, Feb. 24, 2014 after a brief battle with lung cancer. Edna was born in Wheatland, Wyo., on Dec. 13, 1926 to Joseph and Hazelle (Shute) Fenimore, the eleventh of twelve children. Her family settled in Mt. Vernon, Wash., where Edna met and married her first husband, Ray ‘Bud’ Rasmussen. Together, they raised their three children, Russell, Reginald, and Linda. During her many years in the Skagit Valley, Edna had the privilege of first working with George Ovenell, then as a legal secretary/paralegal for the law firm Hammack and Fowler, and later in tandem with James Hammack, whom she truly revered as a friend and mentor. In 1981 Edna married Johnny Jones. In 1984, always up for an adventure, they decided to strike out for Alaska and never looked back. Alaska and Kenai became their home. One of her most successful and gratifying ventures was Nanny’s House, a day care center she operated for many years. A huge believer in early childhood education, she positively influenced the lives of many children in Kenai and beyond. Edna was an involved member of the Kenai community; Edna’s hobbies included reading (she will truly miss her book club), gardening, cross words, walking her brown dachshund, Mistee. Both were iconic and recognizable figures around the Kenai community. Edna was preceded in death by her parents, Joseph and Hazelle Fenimore, first husband, Ray Rasmussen, second husband, Johnny Jones, son, Reginald Rasmussen, and siblings Charles, Robert, Raymond, Louis, Ruth and Benjamin Wells, and Geniece, Lucile, Maxine, and Guy Fenimore. Edna is survived by her son Russ and wife, JoAnn Rasmussen, of Prosser, Wash.; her daughter and partner, Linda Rasmussen Bruce and Tom Brook of Kenai; step-children, Marie Stevens of Omak, Wash., and Mike Jones of Brewster, Wash.; grandchildren, Mary Beth Rudd, Trina Lynn Andersen, Adrienne McGlamery, and James Rasmussen; step-grandchildren, Shane Francis, Tiana Stevens, and Seth Jones; and great-grandchildren, Jackson Rudd, Erik Andersen, and soon-to-be-born Conner McGlamery; as well as one brother, Stanley Fenimore of Tacoma, Wash.; many extended family; and dear friends Jaci LeDoux, Jennifer Schwartz, Tammy Thompson and Donna Jepson. Arrangements were cared for by Peninsula Memorial Chapel. Edna’s obituary and online guestbook may be visited at www.alaskanfuneral.com. At her request, no formal service is planned. Memorial donations in her name can be made to the Kenai Public Library, Kenai Boys and Girls Club, or the Kenai Senior Center.

Glen Royce Jackson

Around the Peninsula

Longtime Kenai resident Glen Royce Jackson, 93, died peacefully Monday, Feb. 24, 2014, in Kenai. Per Glen’s request there will be no services. Mr. Jackson was born in Spearfish, S.D. on May 3, 1920 to Charles Jackson and Florence (McClung) Jackson. On Nov. 4, 1946 at the Presbyterian Church in Galena, Ill., Glen married Constance Mary Baker of London, England whom he met during World War II. Glen graduated high school in 1939 from Upton, Wyo. He attended three and half years at Black Hills State Teachers College in Spearfish before being called into service in 1943. Glen served in the Rolling W, 89th Division US Infantry as a Communications Chief in the European Theater during which time he received the Bronze Star Medal. Upon receiving an honorable discharge, Glen taught mathematics and science in Newcastle, Wyo. Seeking work out of doors he became a laborer at an oil refinery in 1947 thus finding his vocation. Over the years he was promoted from an Instrument Technician to Plant Superintendent in 1960 to Plant Manager in 1963. In May 1969 Glen was transferred to Alaska becoming the first Refinery Manager of Tesoro-Alaska Petroleum, an outgrowth of the Tesoro Refinery in Newcastle, Wyo. In 1979 Glen was promoted to Vice President of Tesoro-Alaska Refining remaining in the position until his retirement in 1985. Glen enjoyed his work and all his associates, the many friends he made along life’s journey and held the belief that his years were during the best of this and the last century. Glen was a man who loved life, his family and the Kenai Methodist Church. He was active in various community organizations both in Newcastle and Kenai. Many Kenai residents will remember him as the man on Salmon Circle who handed out popcorn balls on Halloween. He was talented creating stained glass works. For Glen work was play: harvesting firewood; blowing snow; mowing the lawn around Molly’s garden; planning, planting and harvesting the family vegetable gardens; and building rock terraces for the English gardens, as well as, the family’s first home of twentythree years. Glen was preceded in death by his mother when he was four years of age and his father at age 13, leaving him an orphan. He was also preceded in death by sisters, Sybil, Lela and Cleone; and brothers, Lawrence and Dell. He is survived by his wife, Constance “Molly”; son, George (Victoria) Jackson of Edmund, Okla.; daughters, Beverly (Cecil) Sallee of North Platte, Neb., Colleen (Gary) Sonnevil of Kenai, and Nannette Johnson of Newcastle, Wyo.; nine grandchildren; thirteen great-grandchildren; as well as many nephews and nieces.

What Others Say

Education reform shouldn’t be rushed Gov. Sean Parnell wants to see wide-

spread education reform by the end of the legislative session in April. Setting goals is good, but what’s even better is setting achievable ones. Education reform can happen in 90 days, but will the reforms be properly vetted, researched and implemented in that time? Something as far-reaching as overhauling our public education system shouldn’t be rushed. What voucher model will Alaska follow, and what effect will that have on Alaska’s public schools? What happens if a private school underperforms after receiving state funds? Will it still receive state funding without any way for the state to ensure results? And if a community turns down a new charter school, will the education commissioner be able to override that decision? These questions and many more are unanswered, and there’s only two months left in the 28th Legislature. Waiting until the 29th Legislature is the right choice. Lawmakers need time to analyze how vouchers have been implemented in other states. If education reform was the only bill on the table, perhaps there would be enough time to find the best fit for Alaska’s unique needs. Individual items like doing away with the high school exit exam and increasing base funding are doable this year. Vouchers are not. We’re not saying vouchers are a good idea or a bad one, but whatever the state’s direction, it needs to be thought out so the program doesn’t turn out like the Affordable Care Act website. According to a 2013 Washington Post article, Lower 48 students have used vouchers for unaccredited schools. States have been left with little to no oversight of what students learn and whether their teachers are qualified. If the Church of the Flying Spaghetti Monster decided to start a private school in the back of a bowling alley, the state may not have a choice but to give the school tens of thousands of dollars — or more — in vouchers. Without understanding the pitfalls other states have fallen into, Alaska will be more likely to repeat the mistakes of others instead of learning from them. On the other hand, some states have found success using vouchers, which allowed students from low-income families to attend schools they otherwise would never have had the opportunity to enroll in. More importantly, is the education reform touted in HB278 and SB139 the change Alaska needs? A survey paid for by the National Education Association-Alaska reveals a different problem. According to educators surveyed, factors outside school walls are what’s keeping students from learning and graduating on time. Drugs, drinking, abuse and poor home environments are to blame for poor performance, teachers say. These issues are ones that vouchers and funding increases aren’t likely to fix. Tossing money at the problem is hacking at the branches instead of going after the root. Alaska’s education system needs to evolve as times change, but such a widespread overhaul in so little time could provoke more problems than solutions if it isn’t done right the first time. — Juneau Empire, Feb. 20

Doonesbury Flashback

By GARRY TRUDEAU

Subhuman political rhetoric

Let’s be honest. Can we agree that some apologies should be flat-out rejected? Certainly the halfhearted ones. That brings us to that mean guitar player and really nasty right-wing extremist Ted Nugent. His latest foray into hate speech is his characterization of President Barack Obama as a “subhuman mongrel.” And before anyone says he was taken out of context, here, in an interview with guns.com, was the context: “I have obviously failed to galvanize and prod, if not shame enough Americans to be ever vigilant not to let a Chicago communist-raised, communist-educated, communist-nurtured subhuman mongrel like the ACORN community organizer gangster Barack Hussein Obama to weasel his way into the top office of authority in the United States of America.” That doesn’t change a thing, does it? It’s vile. Those are some of the exact words the Nazis used to describe Jews, and they are similar to those routinely employed by North Korea to describe someone out of favor. They were so over the top that they even gave pause to some Texas illuminaries like Ted Cruz, Rick Perry and gubernatorial candidate Gregg Abbott, although it took some prodding before they decided that their boy Ted Nugent maybe had gone too far. Even Nugent, who regularly foams at the mouth, was persuaded that he needed to hold back on his verbal excrement, just a little. But let’s judge how much he meant

it when, after his buddies started bailing on him, he told a Dallas talk-radio host that he regretted using “the streetfighter terminology of ‘subhuman mongrel’” instead of just calling the president a “violator of his Bob Franken oath to the Constitution” or “the liar that he is.” Let’s give a cheer. Civil discourse has carried the day, or what passes for it. It wasn’t too long ago, 2009 to be exact, that South Carolina Republican Congressman Joe Wilson interrupted President Obama’s State of the Union speech to holler “You lie!” So this is becoming a habit ... that’s getting worse. It’s worth noting that Wilson has been re-elected twice since he covered himself with that glory, so the people in his district certainly have a respect for his way with words and his grasp of nuance. In fairness, Newt Gingrich made an arguable point while condemning Ted Nugent’s language during an interview with CNN’s Wolf Blitzer. Suggesting, as he so often does, that there is a liberal bias among journalists, he complained about “selective media outrage” over Nugent. He went on to say that Democrats often have used harsh insults to describe figures on the right. I might be raising a few family feathers when I suggest that maybe he was think-

ing about Al Franken (we think we might be distant cousins, but this is Washington, where water is thicker than blood). In the 1990s, Al wrote the book “Rush Limbaugh Is a Big Fat Idiot,” which showed no mercy to Gingrich, among others. Conservatives probably considered that a tad disparaging. As we know, he now has become Sen. Franken and has gotten really serious. Personally, I hate that, because his old days of insults are replaced by the fuddy-duddy language of friendship that smoothes over the Senate’s cutthroat politics. He’s up for re-election in Minnesota, so we’ll see if he does as well as Wilson did in South Carolina. And here’s a scary thought: Maybe Nugent can run for the Texas Senate seat that Ted Cruz vacates when he becomes president. What have I just said? President Ted Cruz? That probably tops any craziness that Nugent could concoct. But is it? The sad truth is that measured rhetoric is obsolete. I like to quote the expression “Cheer up, it could be worse. So I did, and sure enough, it was.” But before we point fingers at the politicians and their groupies as they display the crude dumbing down of our politics, let’s remember we’re all to blame for allowing that to happen. Bob Franken is a longtime broadcast journalist, including 20 years at CNN.

Alaska should embrace educational pluralism Government funded and government delivered K-12 education has been the rule in the United States for the last 100 years except for the action of 23 states in the last 20 years. In most of the Western democracies, government has funded public education, but through public and private schools. A child going to K-12 education in Germany, the Netherlands, England, Wales, Italy, Israel, Australia, Sweden, Switzerland, Ireland, and Hong Kong, for example, could go to a private or public school and be funded by the government. Those countries believe in educational pluralism. Education pluralism is based upon the concept that good education for a child is very important, but there is no agreement on the type of education. Everyone agrees that the ABC’s are necessary, but there are all kinds of approaches such as a progressive or a traditional approach. Most people agree that the parents are the best ones to select the type of education that their child should have. Most people agree that a parent is responsible to raise a child to be an upstanding adult. Even the United Nations International Covenant on Economic, Social, and Cultural Rights and that on Civil and Political Right in 1976 includes: “to have respect for the liberty of parents . . . to choose for their children’s school other than those established by public authority . . .” The U.N. Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous People of 2007 has similar language. Pluralism in education is the goal of SJR9/HR1 currently pending in the legislature. It will not be accomplished by the passage of this legislation, but it will allow it to be accomplished in future years. People are talking about vouchers, scholarships, tax credits, but this resolution does not include any of those subjects. This resolution is a constitutional amendment which strips the Blaine amendment C

As to the accountability for money, let the public school set the monetary standard as the maximum amount payable for any child to any school. Demanding that all children go to a public K-12 school is another aspect of the government concept that “one size fits all”, that government knows best. As was expressed in the article in the national magazine First Things, we are losing our competitive edge with the rest of the world. We are competing, and losing the race, with countries that encourage public financing of a diverse range of private schools. If we want to see a world class education system, we have to get our imaginations out of the rut of the current state-controlled system of public education and envision a different future. Let’s urge the passage of SJR9/HJR1 and allow the legislature and governor to make decisions on K-12 education on what most benefits children and society and not what most benefits particular schools.

If the legislature passes it, and the public passes it in the November election, future legislatures can address the question of educating our children and not just appropriate money to the public schools. There have been 3 annual polls in the last 3 years. Each of the statewide polls showed that a strong majority of the public supports the adoption of this amendment. The passage of this resolution will allow the public to make that decision.

Nikiski Fire Department responded, as did Alaska State Troopers. The small, single-story wood frame structure is a total loss. No one was injured, as the building was unoccupied, and no other structures were damaged. There is no reason to believe at this time that the fire was intentional. The cause of the fire is yet to be determined, but an electric heater is the suspected cause of the fire. n On Feb. 20 at 1:46 a.m., Soldotna troopers and Central Emergency Services responded to a report of a single vehicle crash at Mile 69 of the Sterling Highway.

As officers were responding, they were informed that the pickup, valued at $44,000, had been reported stolen from Alaska Sales and Service in Wasilla. Officers contacted the driver of the pickup, Rodney G. Godwin, 39, of Anchorage. A records check showed that Godwin had previously been arrested for felony driving under the influence, had a revoked driver’s license and was currently on felony probation.

Quinhagak man charged with murder ANCHORAGE — A 26-year-old Quinhagak man is being held without bail in the death of a woman found earlier this month in the western Alaska village. The Anchorage Daily News reports 26-year-old Harold Smith is charged with first-degree murder and evidence tampering in the death of 25-year-old Lisa Johnson. Johnson’s body was found Feb. 3 off a trail near a new runway at the village airport. Investigators interviewed Smith on Monday and arrested him. Troopers say Smith and Johnson had a fight at another site and that Smith killed Johnson, moved her body and tried to hide it by covering it with brush.

Trooper abuse inquiry began with text FAIRBANKS — Prosecutors say an investigation of former Alaska State Trooper captain on charges of sexual abuse of a minor was touched off by the discovery of a text message on the teen’s cellphone. Investigators say the girl’s mother on Thursday found evidence of abuse on the cellphone and confronted 75-year-old Warren Tanner. Prosecutors say he acknowledged the abuse and said he would seek counseling but would not turn himself in. The Fairbanks Daily News-Miner reports Tanner was arrested Friday. He is charged with six felony counts and is being held without bail at Fairbanks Correctional Center. Tanner said at arraignment Saturday he planned to hire an attorney. Prosecutors say the charges cover 2003 to 2011 when the girl was 3 or 4 years old until she was 11.

Former foster parent pleads to child abuse ANCHORAGE — A former Bethel foster parent and day care operator will be sentenced in June after pleading guilty to three counts of sexual abuse of a minor. Peter Tony, 70, entered the plea Monday in Bethel Superior Court, the Anchorage Daily News reported. He had faced seven felony counts. In the first case, Tony pleaded guilty to two consolidated counts of sexually abusing a girl in 2012. His wife was babysitting the girl. In a second case, Tony pleaded guilty to one count of sexual abuse of a minor in 1998. The victim was a 12-year-old girl who said she would wake up to find Tony touching her. Tony faces a sentence of five to 99 years for each of the first charges and one to 10 years on the third, which pre-dates new sentencing guidelines. Tony also admitted to two aggravating factors. He acknowledged that he was more than 10 years older than his victims and that he repeatedly abused them. Prosecutors said Tony likely abused other children. He and his late wife, Marilyn Tony, operated a state-licensed foster care home for 14 years until 1998. They operated a day care center after that. Tony’s 48-year-old stepdaughter, Kimberley Bruesch of Ketchikan, has said she was abused by Tony when she was 8 years old. The Ketchikan woman said her two sisters also were abused as children and that they committed suicide as adults. — The Associated Press

Ariz. gov. returns amid furor over bill By BOB CHRISTIE Associated Press

PHOENIX — Gov. Jan Brewer returned to Arizona on Tuesday and faced a pressing decision about a bill on her desk that has prompted a national debate over religious and gay rights. The Republican governor has been in Washington the last five days for a governor’s conference, and she is returning to a political climate that is much different from just a week ago. The Arizona Legislature passed a bill last week allowing businesses whose owners cite sincerely held religious beliefs to deny service to gays. It allows any business, church or person to cite the law as a defense in any action brought by the government or individual claiming discrimination. The legislation has caused a national uproar. The chorus of opposition has grown each day, with the business community, the state’s Super Bowl Committee and both Republican U.S. senators calling for a veto. Former GOP presidential nominee Mitt Romney was the latest promi-

nent voice to weigh in and urge Brewer to veto the bill. Brewer will likely spend the next day or more pondering Senate Bill 1062 before deciding whether to sign or veto the legislation. There is widespread speculation that Brewer will veto the bill, but she has not said how she’ll act, as is her longtime practice with pending legislation. Political observers in Arizona cautioned that the governor is

deliberate and not prone to act hastily, despite the growing calls from business, politicians of all stripes, and civil rights groups for a veto. “She’s no rookie to these highprofile deals — she gives both sides their due,” said Doug Cole, a political consultant whose firm has run all of Brewer’s campaigns for decades. “She’s going to get a very detailed briefing from her legal team, and give the proponents

their best shot, and the opponents their best shot,” he said. “Everybody’s going to get their say, and they’ve giving it.” Some Republican senators who pushed the bill through the Legislature are now calling for a veto as well, but they cite “inaccurate” information about the measure for igniting a firestorm. They argue the bill is designed only to protect business owners with strong religious beliefs from discrimination lawsuits that have happened in other states. Some blame the media for blowing the law out of proportion. Democrats say that argument doesn’t wash and call SB1062 “toxic” legislation that allows discrimination. They said they warned Republicans who voted for the bill that it was destined for trouble. “We brought this to their attention five weeks ago,” said Sen. Steve Gallardo, D-Phoenix. “We said this is exactly what is going to happen. You have a bill here that’s so toxic it’s going to divide this Legislature. It’s going to be polarizing the entire state. And that’s exactly what happened.”

Ohio bus driver’s bible stops bullet By LISA CORNWELL Associated Press

CINCINNATI — A biblical booklet in a shirt pocket apparently helped a bus driver survive a shooting, and authorities were looking Tuesday for three suspects, police say. The driver for the Greater Dayton Regional Transit Authority told Dayton police he was standing outside the bus early Monday morning when the men shot at him three times, with one bullet hitting his leg. He also was stabbed in the arm. Rickey Wagoner, 49, of Trotwood, told police he fought back, grabbed the gun and the men ran

away. Wagoner told police he fired at them before driving the bus to a safe location and calling for help. “I stabbed one in the leg, I think, with my pen,” he said on the 911 call to police in Dayton, about 60 miles north of Cincinnati. Police said Tuesday no one was on the bus at the time. Wagoner said in the 911 call that he felt two shots to his chest, but he didn’t think the bullets got through the booklet in his shirt pocket. Police said in their report that two small-caliber bullets hit the booklet called “The Message,” which has Bible verses in contemporary language and were

found lodged inside the book. “It just feels like I’ve been hit with a sledgehammer,” Wagoner said. “I’ve got a book in my pocket, and I don’t think they made it through this book.” Wagoner told police he just started carrying the book about a week ago. Miami Valley Hospital in Dayton confirmed Tuesday that Wagoner remained in the hospital, but the hospital would provide no other information. The authority said in a statement that Wagoner was recovering and doing well. The initial police report said Wagoner stopped his bus to check a possible mechanical

problem. The report also said Wagoner told officers that when the three men approached him, he heard one say: “If you want to be all the way in the club, you have to kill the polar bear.” He told police he grabbed the gun when he was shot in the chest and began struggling with the suspect. He said he was shot again in the leg and began choking the suspect. One of the other men kicked Wagoner in the side, and the bus driver said he was punched several times in the face, according to the police report. Wagoner said the third man then pulled a knife, stabbing him in the arm as he tried to block the knife.

Around the World Army survey finds few women want combat jobs; top choice is special ops aviation FORT EUSTIS, Va. — Only a small fraction of Army women say they’d like to move into one of the newly opening combat jobs, but those few who do say they want a job that takes them right into the heart of battle, according to preliminary results from a survey of the service’s nearly 170,000 women. That survey and others across the Army, publicly disclosed for the first time to The Associated Press, also revealed that soldiers of both genders are nervous about women entering combat jobs but say they are determined to do it fairly. Men are worried about losing their jobs to women; women are worried they will be seen as getting jobs because of their gender and not their qualifications. Both are emphatic that the Army must not lower standards to accommodate women. Less than 8 percent of Army women who responded to the survey said they wanted a combat job. Of those, an overwhelming number said they’d like to be a Night Stalker — a member of the elite special operations helicopter crews who perhaps are best known for flying the Navy SEALS into Osama bin Laden’s compound in 2011. Last year top Pentagon officials signed an order saying women must have the same opportunities as men in combat jobs and the services have been devising updated physical standards, training, education and other programs for thousands of jobs they must open Jan. 1, 2016. The services must open as many jobs to women as possible. The Army says that about 200,000 of its 1.1 million jobs are either direct combat or related jobs such as field artillery, combat engineers and so on. That’s roughly 20 percent of the force, though the direct-combat front-line fighters make up roughly half of that or about 9 percent.

Feds viewed state computers in health care as potential back door for hackers WASHINGTON — As the Obama administration raced to meet its self-imposed deadline for online health insurance markets, security experts working for the government worried that state computer systems could become a back door for hackers. Documents provided to The Associated Press show that more than two-thirds of state systems that were supposed to tap into federal computers to verify sensitive personal information for coverage were initially rated as “high risk” for security problems. Back-door attacks have been in the news, since the hackers who stole millions of customers’ credit and debit card numbers from Target are believed to have gained access through a contractor’s network. The administration says the documents offer only a partial and “outdated” snapshot of an improving situation, and the security problems cited were either resolved or are being addressed through specific actions. No successful cyberattacks have taken place, officials say. —The Associated Press

Ugandan newspaper prints list of ‘200 top’ gays By RODNEY MUHUMUZA Associated Press

KAMPALA, Uganda — A Ugandan newspaper published a list Tuesday of what it called the country’s “200 top” gays, outing some Ugandans and raising fears of violence against those named just a day after the president enacted a severe anti-gay law. Many on the list “are scared and they need help,” said Pepe Julian Onziema, a prominent Ugandan gay activist who was named in in the Red Pepper tabloid. “Some want to leave the country and they are asking to be helped.” Meanwhile, U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry said Monday’s signing of the bill by President Yoweri Museveni marked “a tragic day for Uganda and for all

who care about the cause of human rights.” He warned that Washington could cut aid to the East African nation over the new law, which punishes gay sex with up to life in prison. “We are beginning an internal review of our relationship with the government of Uganda to ensure that all dimensions of our engagement, including assistance programs, uphold our anti-discrimination policies and principles and reflect our values,” Kerry said in a statement. U.N. Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon demanded the revision or repeal of the law, warning on Tuesday that it could fuel prejudice and harassment against gays. The Red Pepper ran its list of names — and some pictures —

in a front-page story under the headline “EXPOSED!” News editor Ben Byarabaha said the paper published the full names of only the well-known activists and tried to use nicknames for those not publicly gay. A popular Ugandan hip-hop star and a Catholic priest are among those on the list. Byarabaha offered no details on how the names were compiled. Onziema, who has repeatedly warned that Uganda’s new law could spark violence against gays, said the tabloid had provided enough information to identify many people who had not come out publicly. “Some of the employers have read the paper, and from the descriptions they can tell who these people are,” he said.

Few Ugandans identify themselves publicly as gay, and the tabloid’s actions recalled a similar list published in 2011 by a now-defunct tabloid that called for the execution of gays. A prominent Ugandan gay activist, David Kato, was killed after that list came out. “The media witch hunt is back,” tweeted Jacqueline Kasha, a well-known Ugandan lesbian activist who is among those listed in the Red Pepper story. Uganda’s new anti-gay law also creates the offenses of “conspiracy to commit homosexuality” and “aiding and abetting homosexuality,” both of which are punishable by seven years behind bars. Those convicted of “promoting homosexuality” face similar punishment.

Dozens killed in attack on Nigerian school By ADAMU ADAMU Associated Press

DAMATURU, Nigeria — Islamic militants set fire to a locked dormitory at a school in northern Nigeria, then shot and slit the throats of students who tried to escape through windows during a pre-dawn attack Tuesday. At least 58 students were killed, including many who were burned alive. They “slaughtered them like sheep” with machetes, and gunned down those who ran away, said one teacher, Adamu Garba. Soldiers guarding a checkpoint near the coed government school were mysteriously withdrawn hours before it was targeted by the militants, said the spokesman for the governor of northeastern Yobe state. Female students were spared in the attack, said the spokesman, Abdullahi Bego, though

girls and women have been abducted in the past by militants of the Boko Haram movement, whose name means “Western education is forbidden.” This time, the insurgents went to the female dormitories and told the young women to go home, get married and abandon the Western education they said is anathema to Islam, Bego said. All of the dead were teenage boys or young men. The militants, whose struggle for an Islamic state has killed thousands and made them the biggest threat to security in Africa’s top oil producer, have increasingly preyed on civilians, both Muslim and Christian. Some 300 people have died in attacks this month alone. Local officials buried the bodies of 29 victims and another 29 were taken to Damaturu Specialist Hospital, according to the hospital records and an Associated Press reporter who went to

the mortuary. Most of the victims appeared to be between 15 and 20 years old, Bego said. Eleven wounded survivors of the attack were being treated at the hospital. Touring the smoldering ruins Tuesday at the Federal Government College of Buni Yadi, Gov. Ibrahim Gaidam decried the federal government’s failure to protect the population. “It is unfortunate that our children in schools are dying from lack of adequate protection from the federal government,” Gaidam told reporters. He called on President Goodluck Jonathan to deploy more troops to the region. Jonathan, who rarely comments on individual attacks, said in a statement that he felt “immense sadness and anguish” by the loss of life at the school, and vowed that the military would “continue to prosecute the war against terror with full

vigor, diligence and determination.” Garba said the militants locked the door of a dormitory where male students were sleeping, then set it on fire. Some students were burned alive in the attack that began around 2 a.m., he said. The governor said it took hours for troops to arrive, giving the assailants plenty of time to set the rest of the school campus ablaze— six dormitories, the administrative building, staff quarters, classrooms, a clinic and the kitchen. Bego, the governor’s spokesman, said the governor will be looking into why the school was left unprotected. “The community complained to the governor that yesterday the military were withdrawn and then the attack happened,” he said. Soldiers from Damaturu, the state capital located some 45 miles (70 kilometers) away, did

not arrive until noon, hours after the attackers had taken off, according to community leaders. Military spokesman Eli Lazarus confirmed the attack, but could not give an exact death toll because soldiers were still gathering corpses. He had no immediate comment on the charge that soldiers withdrew before the attack. Nigeria’s military has reported arresting several soldiers accused of aiding and passing information to Boko Haram extremists; a senator has also been accused of similar charges. On Monday, Jonathan dismissed suggestions the military was losing the war to halt the 4-year-old Islamic uprising in the northeast. Tens of thousands of Nigerians have lost family members, houses, businesses, their belongings and livelihoods to the rebellion and the fallout from a military state of emergency by

soldiers accused of gross human rights violations, including setting ablaze entire villages and summary executions of suspects. Tuesday’s attack is only the latest in a string of deadly assaults by Islamic militants. Entire towns and villages were under the sway of Boko Haram when Jonathan declared a state of emergency in May. The military quickly forced the insurgents out of urban areas, only to have them regroup in forests and mountain caves where it has proved difficult to flush them out. The military said recent attacks are being perpetrated by militants escaping a sustained aerial bombardment and ground assaults on their forest hideouts along the border with Cameroon, an offensive begun after Jonathan fired and replaced his entire military command last month.

SkyHi boys, Seward girls notch victories Homer boys outlast Kardinals in overtime; Nikolaevsk girls, boys sweep in Ninilchik By JOEY KLECKA Peninsula Clarion

Regulation was not enough in Tuesday night’s Southcentral Conference game between the Seward and Skyview boys, giving fans another four minutes of intense, high-energy action. Ultimately, the home team Skyview Panthers edged away in the overtime period to beat Seward 49-45 and improve to 2-6 in the conference (8-12 overall). Seward dropped to 4-4 in the conference (10-10 overall). “This sets up nicely going into regions,” said Skyview coach Jesse Settlemyer. “Everybody goes into regions 0-0, so this gives us some momentum going into that. We’re just excited to

pull it out in the end.” Skyview senior Micah Hilbish clinched the victory with four seconds left in overtime by sinking two free throws. Hilbish led Skyview with 18 points, and teammate Chad Harley pumped in 10. “We just had to stay focused and disciplined,” said junior Tim Duke. “We weren’t really making shots here, we were rushing, so we had to go back and our defense just took care of it.” Duke and Hilbish’s speed and agility matched up well with Seward’s guard duo of Matt Moore and Michael Marshall. On Tuesday, the shots were falling in favor of the former, rather than the latter. Skyview held Seward to only seven points in the first half. In comparison,

the Seahawks put up 41 in the first half against Nikiski last week. Part of the low scoring was the difficulty in cracking Skyview’s defense, but for much of the half, shots that usually fall were simply not falling for Seward. “We would have rather had 41,” Seward coach Curtis Berry teased. “The final minutes, we were just trying to keep the energy high and let (Skyview) know we weren’t going down without a fight. I wish we could have done that all game. “The fact of the matter is, they’re a good team.” What turned out to be an exciting and even matchup between the two teams started out very unevenly. Skyview got out to a 12-3 lead after

one quarter, and led 21-7 at the half. Skyview’s offense was dictated by driving layups — many from transition — as the Panthers did not record a single 3-pointer all game. “We talked about getting out in transition when the opportunities present themselves,” Settlemyer said. “That’s something we work on in practice, different aspects of transition, because it’s opportunities to get points. “We did that and we got some looks, we missed some of them, and that gave them some opportunities.” Matt Moore led Seward with 20 points, one week after scoring 34 against Nikiski, but was held to only two in the first half. After Skyview scored the opening bucket of the second half, Seward

eventually found its rhythm, getting three layups and a trey from Moore during a 17-6 Seward run that closed their deficit to three points. With 3 minutes, 55 seconds, left in the game’s fourth quarter, Skyview had distanced itself with a 36-27 lead, but Moore scored eight straight points to make it a one-point Skyview lead. “We don’t have five or six LeBron James’ out there,” Berry said. “And that’s not to take anything away from our guys, but they try to be skilled, and we have a number of athletes, some cross-country runners, and what they have, they have in spades.” With 1:06 left in regulation, Seward took a 38-36 lead on a jumper from Michael Wolfe, but Hilbish tied things See HOOPS, page A-9

No. 1 Florida nips Vandy By The Associated Press

NASHVILLE, Tenn. — Dorian Finney-Smith scored 19 points, and No. 1 Florida held off Vanderbilt 57-54 on Tuesday night to clinch at least a share of its second straight Southeastern Conference title and seventh overall. Patric Young added 12 points for the Gators (26-2, 15-0 SEC), who continued the best season in school history by winning their 20th straight game, and now they will have a chance to claim their third SEC title in four years all to themselves with a win against LSU on Saturday. The Commodores (15-12, 7-8) beat Florida 83-70 the last time the Gators came into Memorial Gym ranked No. 1, on Feb. 17, 2007.

Diego State breezed past San Jose State. Coming off their third loss of the season, the Aztecs (24-3, 13-2 Mountain West) had an easy time against the overmatched Spartans (7-20, 1-14). The Aztecs had dropped seven spots in the poll after losing their second game in two weeks, a 5844 thumping at New Mexico on Saturday. But the Aztecs didn’t lose two-in-a-row while preventing San Jose State from winning consecutive outings.

No. 14 WISCONSIN 69, INDIANA 58 MADISON, Wis. — Sam Dekker scored 16 points as Wisconsin shrugged off a slow start.

But Wisconsin outscored Indiana 9-2 over the first 3 minutes of the second half. The Badgers shot 26 percent in the first half and they hit 62 percent of their shots in the second. They went 6 of 11 from the 3-point line after making just 1 of 10 in the first half. After Indiana’s Stanford Robinson converted a three-point play with more than 14 minutes to go, the Badgers went on a 22-5 run to put the game away.

Lillard delivers for Portland With Aldridge out, guard pumps in 31 points to down Nuggets By The Associated Press

DENVER — Damian Lillard made up for the absence of fellow All-Star LaMarcus Aldridge by scoring 31 points in the Portland Trail Blazers’ 100-95 win over the Denver Nuggets on Tuesday night. Lillard scored 12 in the third quarter when it looked as if the Blazers were headed for a blowout win, but he saved his biggest shots for late in the fourth after the Nuggets had trimmed an 18-point deficit to two. Lillard helped Portland overcome a terrific performance by Denver’s J.J. Hickson, who pulled down a career-high 25 rebounds, including 15 on the offensive side. Hickson led the Nuggets to a 64-41 advantage on the

glass. Aldridge missed his fourth straight game with a strained left groin. But the Blazers had six players score in double figures, including Nicolas Batum’s 16 points. Randy Foye led Denver with 17 points. Denver again was without Ty Lawson, who leads the Nuggets with averages of 18 points and 8.8 assists. He’s missed seven straight games with a broken rib.

The loss also ended Los Angeles’ three-game winning streak at Bankers Life Fieldhouse. The Lakers stayed closer than expected through the first 2½ quarters and trailed just 59-58 early in the third. But George then scored 10 points in a decisive 14-5 spurt that gave Indiana an 80-68 lead with 2:58 to go in the period.

NEW YORK — New York Knicks point guard Raymond Felton was arraigned on two felony weapons possession charges in Manhattan Criminal Court on Tuesday, following his early morning arrest after a lawyer for his wife turned in a loaded semiautomatic handgun allegedly belonging to the basketball star to a police precinct, claiming she no longer wanted it in their home, authorities said. Wearing a black sweatshirt with a peace sign and other symbols on it, Felton was seemingly upbeat as he appeared before Judge Diana Boyar, nodding affirmatively after he was ordered

to stay away from his wife, Ariane Raymondo-Felton. He did not enter a plea, which is common for this stage in the case. “Mr. Felton has no interest in having contact” with her, one of his lawyers, James Walden, told the judge. Court records show she filed for divorce from Felton last week. Felton was released on $25,000 bail and was ushered into a black SUV following his arraignment. Under the terms of his bond, Felton can travel to games, bail bondsman Ira Judelson said. Prosecutors said they were told Felton stored the Belgianmade FN Herstal model handgun in the home from August through February. A lawyer for Felton’s wife, a student at Fordham Uni-

versity School of Law, dropped off the weapon at a stationhouse on Manhattan’s upper West Side on Monday evening, shortly before tipoff of the Knicks game against the Dallas Mavericks at Madison Square Garden, police said. The gun had 18 rounds of live ammunition in its magazine, which can hold about 20 rounds, prosecutors said. He was charged with criminal possession of a weapon in the third degree and criminal possession of a firearm. The firearm charge is punishable by up to four years in prison. The weapons charge is punishable by up to seven years in prison. The section under which he was charged concerns having a large-capacity ammunition magazine.

up again with a step-back jumpshot with 48 ticks left. Skyview wrangled a steal away during Seward’s next possession and Bailey Jones hit a go-ahead jumper with 25 seconds left. “We were really hunting for a great shot,” Settlemyer said. “We were in a pass-and-cut offense. We wanted to move the ball and be strong with the ball, and we knew eventually if we could be strong with the ball they would start fouling.” However, Seward was determined to not go away quietly, and with six seconds left, Alex Pahno tipped in a layup to make it 40-all. In overtime, Skyview struck first with a Jacob Carlson bucket. “We were on a three-game losing streak, and we just wanted to win,” Duke said. “So this game really brought us up.” Skyview extended its lead to 47-41 with 34 ticks left in overtime, but Seward got two more baskets in after fouling situations to close the gap to two points. Hilbish then sealed the win with his free throws. Overall, Hilbish hit all shots he took from the charity stripe in overtime. Skyview will finish off its regular season with a conference matchups at home against Homer on Friday and on the road Saturday in Nikiski. Seward girls 38, Skyview 31

The visiting Seahawks turned on a strong second-half performance to nab a Southcentral Conference victory Tuesday night at Skyview. Ashley VonBorstel led Seward with 16 points, and teammate Kiana Clemens added 10. “We managed to keep our fouls under control today,” said Seward coach Mark Clemens. “Skyview plays hard, there’s no gimmie on that one. They’ve got some outside shooters, they look inside, they’ve gotten better in the last year.” Skyview was paced by Sam Reynolds with nine points — all on 3-pointers.

The win lifts Seward to 6-2 in the conference (12-9 overall). Skyview drops to 3-3 in the conference. “We had too many turnovers in the first half,” Clemens said. “We threw it away 12 times in four minutes. We gave them a lot of points in the first half, then we cleaned it up and began trapping them, and it forced them into turnovers.” Trailing 17-8 midway through the second quarter, Skyview turned up the pressure and ended the first half on a 12-0 run, getting buckets from Reynolds, Hayley Ramsell and Meghan Powers, resulting in a 20-17 lead for Skyview. Seward got back into a groove in the second half, getting steals and turnover points on Skyview while holding them to only two points. The ‘Hawks took the lead for good on a jumper from VonBorstel with 2:20 left in the third quarter. Skyview got within three points of Seward as late as 1:11 left in the game, but three costly turnovers in the final minute decided the Panthers’ fate. Homer boys 69, Kenai 63, OT After holding off Nikiski late Monday night in Homer, the Mariners reported to Kenai Central for a 6 p.m. game Tuesday and held off the Kardinals in overtime. It was the second-straight overtime loss for the Kards. Kenai Central had the lead in the final minute of the game, but Quinn Daugharty hit a shot high off the glass with 34 seconds remaining to cut Kenai’s lead to 5150. With 25 seconds left, Jonah Theisen hit a pair of foul shots to put the lead at 53-50. Daugharty came down and was short on a 3-pointer, but Homer got the rebound and Kenneth Schneider drained a 3 to knot the game at 53 with seven seconds left. Kenai called timeout but did not get off a solid shot before the buzzer sounded. The scoring in overtime started fast — Daugharty hit a bucket, Kenai’s Keith Ivy answered with a 3, Daugharty nailed a 3 of his own, then Trevor Shirnberg had a rebound layup for a 58-58 game with 2:30 left. After that, Homer took over thanks to foul shooting and reThe Timberwolves trailed by eight with 7:57 to play, and then outscored the Suns 24-6.

quested an additional $1.5 million in borough funding to the $43.5 it gave last year. Without knowing yet how much the state will contribute, he said the borough can’t determine how much it will fund. In Juneau last week, Navarre testified to legislative committees about two bills that will affect the borough. House Bill 19 is a bill for permanent registration on vehicles more than eight years old. He said that would provide the borough with between $500,000 and $800,000 less in revenue each year. He asked the committee to allow local governments to determine how to manage it. “Every time there’s a cut somewhere it either ends up in a reduction of services or an increase or a tax shift somewhere else,” he said. Navarre also testified to Senate Bill 138 — a bill to allow the governor to negotiate on a major gas pipeline project. He said with Nikiski selected as the preferred site for a liquid natural gas plant and terminal for the Alaska Pipeline Project, it could triple the borough’s tax base. A payment in lieu of taxes is proposed for the project, which he said might make sense with its immense size, but he wants to know how a PILT would be calculated and allocated. If the companies with the project are going to pay the state and then the state determines how to divide the money, Navarre said the borough will be in a battle with other regions in the state over the funds.

However, with the increased property tax exemption from $20,000 to $50,000 approved by voters, Navarre said that impacts the borough by taking away about $1.3 annually in revenues. “Which means that surplus that we had last year pretty much just went away,” he said. Services areas are going to see some of the biggest impacts from that change, citing a $450,000 drop in revenue to Central Emergency Services as an example. He said he doesn’t have a solution of how to deal with the funding loss, but as the borough works through the budget process for fiscal year 2015, he expects to find an answer. The borough assembly decision not to pass a senior property tax exemption ordinance to cap that tax break at $300,000 and not allow for the additional $50,000 tax break for all property owners on top of that, will also affect the budget, he said. He said seniors use emergency services more than any other group, but they’re exempt from paying for them. He said if he doesn’t evaluate that area of the budget, the burden is going to shift to other demographics. Another concern in the budget is funding for the school district. “The school district, as I’ve said before, is our most important responsibility — educating our kids,” he said. With the district facing a Kaylee Osowski can be $4.5 million deficit, Navarre reached at kaylee.osowski@ said district officials have re- peninsulaclarion.com.

said he is trying to bring clarity to what “medically necessary” means. He said Tuesday that he understands a woman’s right to choose an abortion. But he said that right “doesn’t necessarily have to fall on somebody else to pay for.” The bills call on the Department of Health and Social Services to fund no abortion services under Medicaid unless the abortions are medically necessary or the pregnancy was the result of rape or incest. The measures would define medically necessary abortions as those needed to avoid a threat of serious risk to a woman’s life or physical health. That could mean a serious risk of death or “impairment of a major bodily function” due to conditions including epilepsy, congestive

participated telephonically. She asked the court to follow rule 45, a right to a speedy trial, because the time for information gathering has been “going on for sometime,” she said. According to charging documents, Alaska State Trooper Sgt. Jeremy Stone alleged 60 to 80 people, including Homer High School students, attended a party Sept. 8 and 9, 2012 at a home on East End Road in Homer. The 17-year-old victim arrived at the party about 10 p.m. and eventually passed out on a couch in the living room after drinking heavily, according to the police affidavit. Troopers allege that while the boy was passed out, multiple people wrote on the boy’s body with a marker while others took photos. Anthony Resetarits

for the potential of spoiled evidence and wanted clarification of when the phones will be returned so discovery issues could be straightened out. “Apple is potentially playing hard to get,” Bauman said. “We will need to schedule another hearing to get some momentum going in the case before trial.” Bauman selected trial week for June 2 in Homer with a status hearing on March 10 so the court can get clarification on how many cell phones were seized and searched for photos from the party.

heart failure, coma, renal disease that requires dialysis, or 17 other conditions. The bills also include what has been called a “catch-all” option: “another physical disorder, physical injury, or physical illness, including a life-endangering physical condition caused by or arising from the pregnancy that places the woman in danger of death or major bodily impairment if an abortion is not performed.” Language in the bills tracks closely with regulations that were approved after being proposed during the interim by state Health Commissioner Bill Streur. The regulations are now the subject of a court challenge brought by Planned Parenthood of the Great Northwest. A judge has barred enforcement of those regulations, pending trial. The regulations also define an abortion as medically necessary if the mother has a psychiatric disorder that places her in “imminent danger of medical

impairment of a major bodily function” if an abortion is not performed. That provision is not included in the bills. Coghill said medical testimony on the Senate side convinced him that psychological conditions “were not a threat to the health of the mother, based on pregnancy.” Much of the public testimony before the committee Tuesday morning was in opposition to the bills. Joshua Decker, interim executive director of the American Civil Liberties Union of Alaska, said the bills raised constitutional questions. Others called it a government intrusion and a waste of time, given the court challenge. Several spoke in support of expanded family planning services. Currently, childless adults do not qualify for Medicaid. But about 14,000 additional Alaskans could be eligible for reproductive health and family planning services if they were expanded as proposed by the

have a lot of inventory, we do,” Sunderland said. “We’re in a heavy inventory position right now and that’s always a little worrisome when you’re holding more inventory than you want but it is selling well. That’s what I’ve heard from other processors as well. No one’s in any kind of panic mode. Nobody feels the need to start dropping prices or taking any kind of drastic action. So at this point even despite the heavy catch it looks like

it’s going OK.” Seafood analyst Andy Wink of the McDowell Group, which works with the Alaska Seafood Marketing Institute, said the current inventory on pinks could last about 2.6 years. A chronic oversupply depressed prices in the early 2000s, Wink said. “That made it very difficult obviously to sell new production, but through a lot of hard work, through lot of marketing and actually through just shifting a lot of that product out of the can, we were able to bring that inventory down and price has improved as a result,” Wink said. “So I think

we’ve probably been in this area before but it has been some time.” The Department of Agriculture will buy $20 million of canned pink salmon for food assistance programs across the country. That’s an expanded purchase over previous years. Alaska senators hailed the decision in January. Not all pink salmon is canned. Some are frozen and shipped overseas for additional processing. The primary markets overseas are Pacific Rim nations such as China, Vietnam, and Thailand, according to the Institute of Social and Economic Research.

shaved an “M” for Mariners, the name of the high school mascot, into the boy’s hair, the complaint alleges. Then, Anthony Resetarits allegedly sexually assaulted the boy with a beer bottle with Joseph Resetarits participating, according to the report. The partygoers left shortly after the incident and the alleged victim, still unconscious, was taken to his mother. The alleged victim was taken to South Peninsula Hospital for treatment, where a nurse reported the sexual assault to troopers, according to the affidavit. Troopers recovered multiple photographs that were taken of the victim while he was being assaulted from a boy who identified the men in the photo as the Resetarits brothers, according to Sgt. Stone’s report.

The Resetarits brothers were released from custody on $5,000 bail each last October. If convicted of the Class B Felony, the brothers face 5-15 years in jail. A 16-year-old Homer boy was later charged in the incident for sexual assault but the minor’s name was not released. On Feb. 18, a status hearing for Joseph Resetarits was held at the Kenai Courthouse. Joseph Resetarits, who lives in Anchorage and participated telephonically, requested the court’s permission to move to Honolulu, Hawaii to attend an Emergency Medical Technician program at the University of Hawaii Capuano Community College. State Prosecutor Kelly Lawson said she was concerned with allowing him to move to Hawaii because his brother

lives there. She said Anthony Resetarits had been seen drinking at a bar, despite his court order to not consume alcohol and she is concerned about the brothers violating court orders by living together. The court lifted a waiver of extradition, allowing the brothers to move out of state to attend college. Bauman said there is no requirement of supervision of the brothers because the court did not assign a third party custodian. The alleged victim’s mother, who participated telephonically in the hearing, said she doesn’t understand why Joseph Resetarits needs to go to Hawaii to enroll in an EMT program. “I’m not comfortable with both of them back together,” she said. “I don’t trust him.

amendment, Streur said. The annual cost for accessing family planning services has been estimated at roughly $800 per person. Streur told reporters he would have to think an expanded program would help to reduce unwanted pregnancies and abortions but said he didn’t know to what degree that might happen. Gardner, in an interview, said if the goal is to reduce abortions, the state needs to make sure people have access to effective birth control measures. Rep. Gabrielle LeDoux, RAnchorage, who’s sponsoring the House bill, said she didn’t see it as a “pro-life” or “prochoice” bill but rather as a fiscal bill. She said if the committee wanted to expand the program it could look at doing that as part of the ongoing budget talks. But she said she didn’t see how that discussion fit in with what the bills were trying to accomplish.

Audit sought on ferry repairs JUNEAU (AP) — A Kodiak lawmaker has requested an audit on the handling of repairs on the ferry Tustumena. Rep. Alan Austerman, in his request, says the project began in October 2012, completion was delayed and the ferry did not return to service for more than a year. He says as a result, ferry service to and from many communities was disrupted.

There will be no supervision to keep them in check and that bothers me.” Joseph Resetarits was enrolled in a firefighting academy in Louisiana but moved back to Alaska. He said he has looked for EMT training in the area but would prefer to live out of state because of the party incident. “It is hard to live here,” he said. “A lot of people know about this.” Bauman said he would approve the travel, but not until the court receives confirmation from a fire chief in Hawaii that Joseph Resetarits can volunteer in Hawaii and enroll in EMT course training. The next court date for both Anthony and Joseph Resetarits is March 10 at the Kenai Courthouse.

arnival, a festive time of the year beginning on the 12th day after Christmas (Epiphany) concludes with the celebration of Mardi Gras (French for Fat Tuesday), the day preceding Ash Wednesday, which is also the beginning of Lent, falling this year on March 5. While Christians around the world follow the laws of fasting and abstinence by not eating meat and other foods during Lent, the consumption of milk, eggs and butter, once considered extravagant, was strictly forbidden, as well. With that in mind, the faithful who observed Lent used up supplies of dairy by making pancakes and other similar dishes, with the last day for consuming such foods being the day before Ash Wednesday, which we celebrate as Mardi Gras, Fat Tuesday, Pancake Day, Shrove Tuesday and Paczki (a Polish word for “donut”) Day.

Kitchen Ade Sue Ade

Besides pancakes, Dutch Babies, also called “Bismarcks” or “Dutch puffs” – a sweet popover-like breakfast bread, derived from the German “pfannkuchen” – would also make a fine Fat Tuesday treat, as would King Cake, a recipe I’m asked for time and time again come Mardi Gras season. I use my trusty cast-iron skillet for making Dutch Babies, with the 10-inch, two-quart size the perfect vehicle for mak-

ing a plentiful portion for two. And, for King Cake, my bread machine comes in handy, doing an apt job of kneading the dough, leaving me the time (and energy) to decorate the cake with sugar crystals in the traditional royal colors of purple (for justice), green (for faith) and gold (for power). For many, Fat Tuesday represents the last culinary hurrah before Lent, which will continue for several weeks, for 46 days, until Saturday, April 19. For more delicious Fat Tuesday recipes, including those for fluffy Buttermilk Pancakes, Orange Pancakes and Æbleskivers (Danish pancake balls), write me at kitchenade@yahoo.com.

reached desired temperature, place butter in the skillet and place it in the oven long enough for butter to melt, about 2 to 3 minutes. Remove pan from oven and swirl melted butter around bottom of pan to coat pan evenly. Pour batter into pan (it’s OK if butter rises to the top of pan, that’s normal – do not stir the mixture); bake for 15 minutes. Lower temperature to 350 degrees and bake for an additional 5 to 10 minutes, or until golden and cooked through. (The Dutch Baby should not look raw and shiny in the center, nor should the edges be burned.) Dust with confectioners’ sugar and cut into wedges while still in pan, or remove entire Dutch Baby to a serving dish for serving. (If your Dutch Baby sticks to the pan, carefully ease it from the edges and bottom with a spatula.) Serve immediately. Serve with warmed maple syrup and fruit, if desired. Makes 2 to 3 generous servings.

Serve Dutch Babies, as soon as they are cooked through, with a dusting of confectioners’ sugar, warm maple syrup and some fresh fruit.

King Cake is enjoyed throughout the Carnival season, from the Epiphany through Mardi Gras.

For the cake ½ cup milk 2 tablespoon unsalted butter 1 (¼ ounce) package Fleischmann’s Rapid Rise Highly Active Yeast 1 3 / cup warm (110 degrees) water ¼ cup granulated sugar 1 large egg, room temperature, lightly beaten ¾ teaspoon salt ¼ teaspoon ground nutmeg 3¼ cups unbleached all-purpose flour

For the praline filling ½ cup firmly packed light brown sugar ½ tablespoon ground cinnamon ½ cup finely chopped pecans ¼ cup unbleached all-purpose flour 4 tablespoons (½ stick) unsalted butter, melted Pinch salt

Icing 1 cup sifted confectioners’ sugar

2 tablespoons water Purple, green and yellow granulated sugar crystals 1 small plastic toy baby (or a dry bean) for hiding inside the cake after it is baked, optional* In a small saucepan, scald the milk, remove from heat then stir in the butter, stirring until the butter is melted. Cool to lukewarm. Place the water, milk/butter mixture, egg, sugar, salt, nutmeg and flour into the canister of the bread machine in the order given. Make an indentation with your finger into the flour and pour in the yeast. (Do not allow yeast to come into contact with the liquid.) Select the dough cycle, and start the machine. While the dough is forming in the machine, line a large baking sheet with parchment paper and set aside. Prepare the filling by mixing the ingredients in medium-size mixing bowl. When the dough cycle is finished, remove the dough and roll it out on a lightly floured surface into 28 x 8-inch rectangle. (The dough will be easy to work with and very elastic.) Sprinkle the filling mixture evenly over the dough, leaving a 1-inch space on each side (this will help to keep the filling from leaking out the edges of the dough). Starting with the long end, roll the dough, jellyroll style into a log. Place the log onto the baking sheet, seam side down, forming the dough into a ring. Moisten the ends of the dough and pinch to seal. (Do not worry if it does not look perfect. The seam will be covered with icing later.) Place 2 small greased ovenproof C

ramekins in the center of the ring, then cover the dough with a cloth and allow it to rise in a warm place, free of drafts, until it becomes puffed and doubles in size, about 30 minutes. (The ramekins are placed in the center of the dough to keep the ring open during the rising process.) Also, don’t be alarmed if your dough does not double in size.) Preheat oven to 375 degrees and place pan with dough in oven, leaving the ramekins in place. Bake for 25 to 30 minutes, or until lightly browned, turning pan after 15 minutes to ensure even browning. Allow cake to rest on pan for 10 minutes before removing to wire rack to cool completely. After cake is cool, hide toy, or bean in cake. (To prevent injury, be sure to warn cake eaters that something is hidden in the cake. Do not allow small children to eat the cake unsupervised.) After the cake is completely cool, make the icing by blending the confectioners’ sugar with water, stirring until completely smooth. Pour icing evenly over top of cake, allowing icing to drip down sides. While icing is still wet, immediately sprinkle cake with alternating bands of purple, yellow and green colored granulated sugar crystals. Makes one cake to serve 10. *Kitchen Ade note: The finder of the toy, or bean, inside a King Cake is supposed to bring the finder good luck for a year and the responsibility for providing next year’s King Cake. To prevent injury, be sure to warn cake eaters that something is hidden inside the cake, being especially mindful not to let small children eat the cake unsupervised.)

NOTICE OF APPLICATION FOR PERMIT TO APPLY PESTICIDES The Homer Soil and Water Conservation District has applied to the Alaska Conservation (DEC) for a permit to apply herbicide to control invasive elodea in Stormy, Beck, and Daniels Lakes in the Kenai Peninsula area. The following project is proposed and is being reviewed by the appropriate regulatory programs. DEC requests comments from the public regarding the permit application. Copies of the application are available on-line or upon request. PROJECT NAME: Kenai Area Lakes Elodea Control Aquatic Pesticide Use Permit. WRITTEN COMMENTS: Comments must be received no later than 4:00 p.m. Alaska Standard Time on March 28th 2014. To ensure that your comments are considered in relation to this application, please include the project name at the beginning of your comment To be considered, comments must be submitted in writing to DEC at the following address: Rebecca Colvin Department of Environmental Conservation Pesticide Program 555 Cordova Street, Anchorage AK 99501 Phone: 907-269-7802 Fax: 907-269-7600 Email: Rebecca.colvin@alaska.gov PROJECT SUMMARY AND LOCATION: The Homer Soil and Water Conservation District has applied to DEC for an aquatic pesticide use permit to apply herbicide to Stormy, Beck, and Daniels Lakes in the Kenai Peninsula area. The proposed products include; â&#x20AC;˘ Sonar Genesis Aquatic Herbicide, with EPA registration number 67690-54, and active ingredient fluridone, and â&#x20AC;˘ Sonar One Aquatic Herbicide, with EPA registration number 67690-45, and active ingredient fluridone. PROJECT NEED: Elodea is an invasive aquatic plant that has the potential to grow abundantly and compromise water quality, hinder boat and float plane traffic, reduce dissolved oxygen, and impact fisheries. Early control of this invasive plant will help prevent spread to other locations. Physical or mechanical controls are inappropriate, as these methods break the plant into fragments which can then reproduce.

Woman worries her gentle friend may harbor dark side DEAR ABBY: I’m incredibly fond of my friend “Russell.” He is always supportive, considerate and kind to me. However, I know that he is into S&M and this worries me, as I can’t reconcile the two different people — a gentle person with someone wanting to dominate and possibly hurt a woman in bed. Should I be worried that Russell is hiding a dark side that will eventually come out and ruin our friendship? — WORRIED FRIEND IN AUSTRALIA DEAR WORRIED: You and Russell must be very close friends if he is describing his sexual practices with you. My experts tell me that acting out on aggressive fantasies does not necessarily mean a person IS aggressive. As long as your relationship remains platonic, what he does in the bedroom shouldn’t affect it. But if you’re considering taking your friendship with Russell to another level, it’s important that you talk further about this. If this isn’t something you’re interested in exploring — and it isn’t for everyone — then draw the line or move on.

I want to tell my mother my feelings, but I don’t want to hurt her. I love her, but I’m still not over what she has done. She is barely home. She has meetings, and she likes to stay with her boyfriend. I think it’s too soon. She came home only a week ago. What do I do, Abby? — CONFUSED TEEN DEAR CONFUSED: You have my sympathy. I Abigail Van Buren hope your mother’s rehabilitation will be successful. It’s good that she is going to meetings, and I agree with you that it’s too soon for her to be staying with her boyfriend. However, she’s unlikely to accept hearing it from you or me, which is why you should talk to your grandmother about your feelings. Your mother might accept it if she hears from your grandmother that should there be any DEAR ABBY: I’m a 14-year-old girl, and my “bumps” in her relationship with this man — and mother just got home from rehab.

Hints from Heloise

By Leigh Rubin

Ziggy

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) HHHH Be aware of the cost of proceeding as you have been, and assess the possible ramifications. You will see more if you detach from the here and now. Have a conversation with a friend or loved one who can give you some insight. Tonight: Make it a fun evening! SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) HHHHYou will be able to gain greater insight into a personal matter than you thought possible. You must be willing to hear the other side of the story. Imagine being that person, as he or she explains it. You could be surprised at your change of heart. Tonight: Hang out with pals. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) HHHH Once more, you’ll have an opportunity to express your knowledge of money. You have pushed hard to gain a reputation in this area, and your confidence will help others feel at ease. Be careful, as a potential backfire could occur. Tonight: Your time to play. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) HHHH You might regret a comment you recently made. Make an effort to clear the air, and do your best to get to the bottom of a problem. Others seem to respond well to you right now, so use some of that magic to get in their good graces. Tonight: As you like it. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) HHH Take your time when dealing with a key person. You might feel as if he or she is responsible for a lot of the uproar in your life. Remember, you could decide to put an end to the uproar. Rethink who is responsible. Tonight: Choose a favorite scene.

Bits of baking items Dear Heloise: Every year around the holidays, I bake. I always end up with bits of baking items left over that I never use (example: oatmeal, chocolate chips, coconut, graham-cracker crumbs, brown sugar, powdered sugar, etc.). None of it is enough to make anything, and I eventually end up throwing it out. If I make something else, I have to buy more of the same ingredients, and again I am left with bits of this and that. Any ideas on what I can do? — A Reader, via email One of the easiest ways to use up those bits and pieces is to add them to a packaged cake or cookie mix, or, even better, make “everything” cookie bars! Use your favorite sugar-cookie recipe (or prepackaged dough) and make a crust in a baking pan. Then spread your leftover toppings, add some melted butter to help bind it together a bit, bake and enjoy! Simple, easy and inexpensive! — Heloise Send a great hint to: Heloise P.O. Box 795000 San Antonio, TX 78279-5000 Fax: 210-HELOISE Email: Heloise(at)Heloise.com Keep off Dear Heloise: Whenever I make deviled eggs, I insert toothpicks in a few of the outer eggs and one in the center once they are arranged on the serving dish. I am then able to put plastic wrap on top without the egg filling sticking to it. This also works with a cake, cupcakes or any food item that could potentially stick to the plastic wrap. A few toothpicks are all you need to keep the plastic wrap off the food. — Jenna H. in Ohio By Dave Green

with money, as you could have an unexpected windfall heading your way. Hold off on going on a shopping spree for now. Do not put off a key conversation. Tonight: Reach out to a relative at a distance. CANCER (June 21-July 22) HHHH If an associate, partner or loved one finally seems ready for a talk, and he or she seeks you out, seize the moment; this mood will not last forever. You’ll want to be sure of yourself and make sound choices. Let a loved one express his or her point of view. Tonight: Be direct. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) HHHH You’ll want to do what you want to do, and you’re likely to jolt someone with your spontaneity. You have a way of startling others that allows you to see more of their personality. A conversation can’t be taken back, even if you apologize. Tonight: Be around good music. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) HHHHH Your ability to get down to brass tacks could startle a partner who might be used to the more easygoing you. Use care with your finances, especially if hanging out with big spenders. You easily could overspend or miscount your change. Tonight: Where the good times are. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) HHHH You might want to rethink a personal matter, especially as the other party involved could act in an unpredictable manner. Understand what is happening rather than lose your temper. Remain sensitive to a boss; this person could have some good news. Tonight: Time to celebrate!

By Eugene Sheffer

DEAR ABBY: I have a 19-month-old son, “Nicky.” He stays at my in-laws’ house most days while my husband and I work. Lately, I’ve noticed when I go to pick him up that Grandma and Grandpa like to give him “kiss attacks,” where they hold him “hostage” and give him several kisses. Sometimes he lets them, and it’s not a problem. Other times he squirms, whines and tells them no. It’s painful to watch, especially when they respond with, “I know you’re not going to like this, but I’m going to do it anyway.” I think this is a huge violation of my son’s boundaries. It teaches him he should just give in because nobody cares that he’s uncomfortable. My husband thinks Nicky is too young to understand, and that it’s not going to hurt him to have extra affection. I’m an affectionate person who likes to hug and kiss my son, too, but if he’s not in the mood, I let him be. Who is right? — LOVING MOMMY IN COLORADO DEAR LOVING MOMMY: You are. Affection is something welcome. If you don’t want it, it’s not affection. The most significant issues in child development have to do with nurturing and building trust. However well meant, holding a child “hostage” is more a display of power than affection.

Jacqueline Bigar’s Stars HAPPY BIRTHDAY for Wednesday, Feb. 26, 2014: This year you are more in touch with your feelings, especially when surrounded by friends. You are likely to experience a range of emotions, so give yourself space to process them. Your creativity emerges, which will save situations from becoming too difficult. If you are single, you will find that your sense of humor often is not the same as that of your date. If you are attached, the two of you often trigger each other’s playfulness. You also become very feisty when you’re together. AQUARIUS understands you. The Stars Show the Kind of Day You’ll Have: 5-Dynamic; 4-Positive; 3-Average; 2-So-so; 1-Difficult ARIES (March 21-April 19) HHH Understand that sometimes your expectations might not be very realistic. Your reaction to a situation where this proves true might be quite startling. Walk away from an angry friend or loved one. Give yourself time to calm down. Tonight: Could go till the wee hours. TAURUS (April 20-May 20) HHHHH You will be on top of a situation, as you know exactly what to do. Others simply might not see the situation in the same light, which might make it difficult to move forward. Optimism surrounds a new purchase or key conversation with a loved one. Tonight: Chat up a storm. GEMINI (May 21-June 20) HHHH Listen to news with your focus on your long-term goals. Be careful
