Court rejects appeal M over fishing rights

WASHINGTON (AP) — The Supreme Court has turned away an appeal by the state of Alaska in a longrunning fight over the control of rivers and the fishing and hunting rights of Alaska Natives. The court on Monday declined to review a federal appeals court ruling that upheld U.S. Interior Department rules enforcing the fishing and hunting rights on some rivers that otherwise would be under state control. The state urged the high court to step in to address claims that the federal government has improperly asserted control over rivers in more than half of Alaska. Alaska Native groups and the Obama administration supported the appellate ruling.

Correction In Monday’s edition of the Peninsula Clarion, Justin Hanson of Hanson Contruction, was misidentified in the photo caption. The Clarion regrets the error.

before adjourning, did not expressly permit out-of-state residents to serve on that board. Minority Senate Democrats called on Parnell to withdraw Rabinow’s name, citing a state law requiring appointees to boards or commissions of state government to be and have been before the last general election registered to vote in the state. Chenault and Rep. Mike Hawker, the lead sponsors of the bill that established the AGDC, have said the legislative record “clearly reflects” the intent that See CHANGE, page A-5

Open swim In the news

Municipal leaders throughout the state say they are pleased with the development of the Municipal Advisory Gas Project Review Board, but participation concerns remain. The concerns were expressed in a Monday press release. Kenai Peninsula Borough Mayor Mike Navarre said while establishing the board is an attempt at giving the local government leaders some involvement questions about what the board will have access to and how its recommendations will be incorporated remain. “It’s not really well-defined at this point,” he said. According to the release, negotiations regarding the Alaska Pipeline Project to run an 800-mile liquefied natural gas pipeline through the state to an LNG plant and terminal currently lack a mechanism for the board to participate or offer suggestions in negotiations. “One of the things that the mayors … have been raising is that there’s a lot of potential impacts here that really … they’re not available for analyzing at this point and we won’t have a chance to do that until after (the state and producers) reached their agreement,” Navarre said. In the release, the mayors advise that potential changes to the existing tax structure

At its monthly free swim on Monday, the Central Peninsula Change Club saw the Skyview High School Pool nearly at capacity at one point, Linda Tannehill with the Kenai Peninsula Cooperative Extension Service office, said. The club hosts a free swim night from 3-6 p.m. the last Monday of every month. Each month has a different sponsor. Sweeney’s Clothing of Soldotna sponsored Monday night’s swim.

Change for appointee considered By BECKY BOHRER Associated Press

JUNEAU — House Speaker Mike Chenault on Monday said he plans to propose allowing out-of-state residents to serve on the board of directors of a corporation that could play a key role in a major liquefied natural gas project in Alaska. In a memo to lawmakers, Chenault, R-Nikiski, said he will offer the amendment to SB124, a bill to extend the sunset date of the Council on Domestic Violence and Sexual

Assault, during a House Rules Committee hearing Thursday. Chenault said he would have preferred to find another bill or to attach the amendment to SB138, which is aimed at advancing the gas project. But with lawmakers scheduled to take up the confirmation of board appointees next week, he said that precluded use of

SB138, which is still working its way through the committee process. Richard Rabinow, a pipeline industry consultant and former president of ExxonMobil Pipeline Co., is among the appointees whose confirmation lawmakers are scheduled to vote on April 11. Rabinow, from Houston, Texas, is among the members Gov. Sean Parnell appointed to the board of directors of the Alaska Gasline Development Corp., or AGDC. Rabinow told Parnell he would resign if the Legislature,

Central peninsula housing market picking up By DAN BALMER Peninsula Clarion

In his 20 years in real estate, Redoubt Realty owner Dale Bagley has never seen a more active winter. Bagley, the President of the Kenai Peninsula Association of Realtors, said based on the rising number of homebuyers during the usually slow winter months, he expects a busy spring and summer for the central peninsula market. After a dismal start to 2013, home sales

from October to December rose and that momentum has carried through the winter into March, he said. “New people coming into the market have generated sales,” he said. “It doesn’t matter what sector they work in. When the economic engine is doing good, money spreads through the community and has a big-time ripple effect.” Bagley, who also sits on the Kenai Peninsula Borough Assembly, said the three main drivers of the peninsula econo-

‘It doesn’t matter what sector they work in. When the economic engine is doing good, money spreads through the community and has a big-time ripple effect.’ — Dale Bagley, Realtor my are oil and gas, commercial fishing and tourism. One big factor in the residential market is the recreational component — people want homes on the

Kenai River. Overall the entire central peninsula market is doing well and it cannot be attributed to the Alaska Pipeline Project only,

he said. New jobs with Hilcorp Energy and Cook Inlet Energy along with the expansion of the Central Peninsula Hospital are reasons why more people are moving into the area. A new Alaska homeowners study produced by NerdWallet, a San Francisco based consumer advocacy group, listed Nikiski and Kalifornsky in the top 10 best conditions to buy homes in the state.

2,300 Alaskans sign Senate panel considers up for insurance ANCHORAGE (AP) — Heavy Web traffic and software glitches prevented some Alaskans from obtaining health insurance from the online federal marketplace Monday, the last day to sign up for coverage under President Barack Obama’s health care law. Enroll Alaska, a broker created to help enroll individuals in private health insurance, had signed up more than 2,300 Alaskans as of Monday, said Tyann Boling, the chief operating officer. That’s well short of the goal of signing up 8,000 Alaskans by the midnight deadline. People who don’t enroll in time may face a penalty from the Internal Revenue Service.

“It has been an incredible struggle to get the information and education out to individuals across the state,” Boling said. Alaska decided not to create its own marketplace and instead allowed the federal government to run it. Boling said that was the correct choice, given the small population of Alaska, but the federal government didn’t help communicate the message of the Affordable Care Act and its impact. “There was no campaign from the federal government,” Boling said. That left Enroll Alaska and two other organizations, the Alaska Native Tribal Health Consortium and United Way, to educate Alaskans.

dual track tenure system By MIKE COPPOCK Associated Press

JUNEAU — The Senate Education Committee on Monday took testimony on a bill that would increase the number of years a teacher would have to be in the classroom to reach tenure. HB162 would keep the tenure track for rural educators at three years but would increase that requirement to five years for a teacher in an urban school. The sponsor, Rep. Tammie Wilson, R-North Pole, C

said this will entice teachers to move to rural Alaska, while allowing for urban districts to weed out marginal teachers who have built up seniority in favor of better teachers who haven’t been on the job as long. “Too often when the budget gets tight, it is first in and first out for new teachers even if some of them have proven they are rock stars,” Wilson said. Committee Chairman Gary Stevens, R-Kodiak, said teacher tenure is a means of protection for many teachers.

“One teacher at the high end of a salary scale may be fired so a district can hire two teachers on the low end of the salary scale if tenure did not exist,” Stevens said. Bill Ernst, with the teacher’s union at Fairbanks North Star Borough School District, said the length of a tenure track should stay at the current three years for the entire state. He said the proposed change would hurt recruiting efforts. Currently, 42 states, including Alaska, offer teachers See TENURE, page A-5

Climate report a ‘call for action’ By SETH BORENSTEIN AP Science Writer

YOKOHAMA, Japan — If the world doesn’t cut pollution of heat-trapping gases, the already noticeable harms of global warming could spiral “out of control,” the head of a United Nations scientific panel warned Monday. And he’s not alone. The Obama White House says it is taking this new report as a call for action, with Secretary of State John Kerry saying “the costs of inaction are catastrophic.” Rajendra Pachauri, chairman of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change that issued the 32-volume, 2,610page report here early Monday, told The Associated Press: “It is a call for action.” Without reductions in emissions, he said, impacts from warming “could get out of control.” One of the study’s authors, Maarten van Aalst, a top official at the International Federation of the Red Cross and Red Crescent Societies, said, “If we don’t reduce greenhouse gases soon, risks will get out of hand. And the risks have already risen.” Twenty-first century disasters such as killer heat waves in Europe, wildfires in the United States, droughts in Australia and deadly flooding in Mozambique, Thailand and Pakistan highlight how vulnerable humanity is to extreme weather, according to the report from

the Nobel Prize-winning group of scientists. The dangers are going to worsen as the climate changes even more, the report’s authors said. “We’re now in an era where climate change isn’t some kind of future hypothetical,” said the overall lead author of the report, Chris Field of the Carnegie Institution for Science in California. “We live in an area where impacts from climate change are already widespread and consequential.” Nobody is immune, Pachauri and other scientists said. “We’re all sitting ducks,” Princeton University professor Michael Oppenheimer, one of the main authors of the report, said in an interview. After several days of latenight wrangling, more than 100 governments unanimously approved the scientist-written 49-page summary — which is aimed at world political leaders. The summary mentions the word “risk” an average of about 5 1/2 times per page. “Changes are occurring rapidly and they are sort of building up that risk,” Field said. These risks are both big and small, according to the report. They are now and in the future. They hit farmers and big cities. Some places will have too much water, some not enough, including drinking water. Other risks mentioned in the report involve the price and availability of food, and to a lesser and more qualified extent some diseases, financial costs and even

world peace. “Things are worse than we had predicted” in 2007, when the group of scientists last issued this type of report, said report co-author Saleemul Huq, director of the International Centre for Climate Change and Development at the Independent University in Bangladesh. “We are going to see more and more impacts, faster and sooner than we had anticipated.” The problems have gotten so bad that the panel had to add a new and dangerous level of risks. In 2007, the biggest risk level in one key summary graphic was “high” and colored blazing red. The latest report adds a new level, “very high,” and colors it deep purple. You might as well call it a “horrible” risk level, said van Aalst: “The horrible is something quite likely, and we won’t be able to do anything about

it.” The report predicts that the highest level of risk would first hit plants and animals, both on land and the acidifying oceans. Climate change will worsen problems that society already has, such as poverty, sickness, violence and refugees, according to the report. And on the other end, it will act as a brake slowing down the benefits of a modernizing society, such as regular economic growth and more efficient crop production, it says. “In recent decades, changes in climate have caused impacts on natural and human systems on all continents and across the oceans,” the report says. And if society doesn’t change, the future looks even worse, it says: “Increasing magnitudes of warming increase the likelihood of severe, pervasive, and irreversible impacts.”

Clarion Question Results The Clarion question for last week was:

Do you feel the veterans memorial in Leif Hansen Memorial Park in Kenai is appropriate as is? The following selected comments were submitted by our readers: “I cannot understand why this is an issue. If no one complained- why bring it up? Doesn’t the governing body have anything more important with which to deal? For heaven’s sake (oops!) be more tolerant!” “This memorial was exploited for attention. I am sorry that somebody wanted to detract from the Vets for a personal motivation with their own selfish short sighted agenda. Let it rest.”

Teen charged with theft for spending accidental deposit DANIELSVILLE, Ga. (AP) — Authorities say a Georgia teen is under arrest and accused of spending about $25,000 that a bank accidentally deposited into his account. The Madison County Sheriff’s Department says 18-yearold Steven Fields of Hull in northeastern, Ga., turned himself in Friday. He faces a charge of theft by taking. A home phone number for Fields could not be located, and it was not immediately clear whether he had an attorney. The department says a teller at a bank in Hull inadvertently deposited a check for approximately $31,000 into the wrong account. Authorities say the money was spent on purchases at a car dealership, various stores and a fast-food restaurant. Authorities say there was an effort to come to an agreement between Fields and the bank and that Fields said he couldn’t repay the money.

What Others Say

Focus on reducing FASD, not on political points Enough with the “War on Women” talk

already. Recent remarks by Republican Sen. Pete Kelly of Fairbanks during an interview about his effort to combat Fetal Alcohol Spectrum Disorders have been carried way out of proportion. The focus should be on what Sen. Kelly is trying to accomplish — bringing to an end the damage caused to fetuses when their mothers drink alcohol during pregnancy. The effects of Fetal Alcohol Spectrum Disorders can’t be reversed. It’s devastating and carries a lifetime cost of more than $2 million per patient. Much of what Sen. Kelly has proposed in his multilayered effort is consistent with recommendations of the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. But that’s not what some people have been focusing on recently. What’s gotten some knickers in a knot is something that Sen. Kelly said in an interview with an Anchorage reporter about his FASD program. One part of his program is to make free pregnancy tests, paid for with public funds, available at bars and restaurants. University researchers will study the effectiveness of the effort. The reporter asked Sen. Kelly if he would support providing free birth control at bars. He said he would not. “Birth control is for people who don’t necessarily want to act responsibly.” That has a bunch of people behaving like these are the end times. If the senator is talking about drinking alcohol while on birth control and relying on the effectiveness of that birth control to prevent a pregnancy, he may have a point — to some degree. That’s because birth control doesn’t always work. Among the items the CDC lists as putting a woman at risk of having what’s termed an “alcoholexposed pregnancy” is this: Not using contraception in a way that effectively prevents pregnancy. So he has a preference of hoping a woman would take a pregnancy test and, armed with the knowledge that she is pregnant, cease drinking. What his political opponents saw was an opportunity to attack. Kay Brown, the head of the Alaska Democratic Party, proclaimed that Sen. Kelly is “going all out with the War on Women .” She expressed serious displeasure that Alaska Republicans “have not apologized for or condemned” Sen. Kelly for his comments. If only there were as much outrage in Alaska and nationally about the harm caused by drinking during a pregnancy. It likely didn’t get the attention this time because it doesn’t whip supporters into a tizzy — and pull money from their wallets — like a good old-fashioned fearfest. And that’s what Sen. Kelly’s Alaska opponents and national bloggers turned his comment into. While the uproar is underserved, the senator should know that birth control is something to be used in preventing FASD. He did say, in an interview later with a Daily News-Miner reporter, that it could become a part of a campaign if research supports it. But why not now? Along with the free pregnancy tests? Republican men have gained some deserved criticism nationally and in Alaska for some comments about women, sex and reproduction. What we have in Sen. Kelly’s case is nothing of the sort. Instead, we have people making a lot of noise about something that really isn’t much of anything. People should instead be focusing on reducing and, ideally, eliminating, Fetal Alcohol Spectrum Disorders. — Fairbanks Daily News-Miner, March 30

Much ado about Noah

It wasn’t so long ago that conservative Christians believed Hollywood to be evil and some preachers instructed their congregations not to go to movies lest they be tempted beyond their ability to resist. Now Christians are debating film content. That’s progress of a sort. The main complaint from critics of the film “Noah,” which opened last Friday with an impressive opening day take of an estimated $44 million in ticket sales, is that it doesn’t accurately reflect the rather slim biblical account in Genesis. Here’s some breaking news for the critics: Noah didn’t speak English, as Russell Crowe does in the film, so right there we have a departure from biblical accuracy. One should not turn to Hollywood for theological truth. In his book “Hollywood vs. America,” critic Michael Medved refers to the film industry as “The Poison Factory,” not the “dream factory” it likes to call itself. There is plenty of evidence — and he includes it in his book — to support that conclusion, but there are also many independent films being made today that act as antidotes to that poison if people seek them out, buy tickets and spread the word. “Heaven is for Real” is one such film. Based on the best-selling book by Todd Burpo, the movie was directed by Randall Wallace, an evangelical Christian who also directed “Secretariat” and wrote the screenplays for “Braveheart” and “Pearl Harbor.”

Letters to the Editor Alaska’s sexual abuse rates alarming I just returned from a visit to your beautiful state, where I had a wonderful time sightseeing and speaking with Legislators about House Bill 233, the Alaska version of Erin’s Law. While the scenery was amazing, I was alarmed to learn about the high rates of child sexual abuse in Alaska. In 2013, there were more alleged victims of child sexual abuse in Alaska than there are students in the larger Alaska high schools. It is for this reason that I hope H.B. 233 will pass, mandating a K-12 age-appropriate child sexual abuse prevention curriculum to teach kids to speak up if they are being abused. I know from my personal experience that if the only message children receive is from their abusers, then they will only know to stay silent or risk disbelief, harm to their families, or harm to themselves. If we don’t talk about it, we give all of the power and control to those who commit these horrible acts. H.B. 233 moved out of the House Education Committee quickly last Friday morning. The bill has broad, bi-partisan support and I’m hopeful it will pass this session, making Alaska the 13th state to

movie plot long enough for people to finish their overpriced candy bars, tubs of popcorn and supersized Cokes or justify the obscene ticket prices ($16.50 in NYC). Some critics claim there is a heavy environmental message in the film, which undercuts the power of the real story. Aren’t there subtle and not so subtle messages in most films? After decades in which Hollywood mostly ignored or stereotyped faith, Christians should be happy they have gotten the film industry’s attention. Successful films like “The Passion of the Christ,” “The Bible” and “Son of God” prove that such stories “sell.” Instead of nitpicking over “Noah,” the Christian community should not only be cheering, but buying tickets to encourage more such movies. Hollywood may not always get it right, but that’s not the point. They are getting something and that sure beats not getting anything, or getting it completely wrong as in Martin Scorsese’s blasphemous, “The Last Temptation of Christ.” Besides, after some see “Noah,” they might want to visit the “original cast.” The next time a rainbow appears might be the right occasion to begin a discussion.

Back to Noah. I asked Michael Medved about the film. He emailed me that while he believes the film is “surpassingly strange ... On balance,” he says, he’s “glad they made the film; unlike so Cal Thomas much puerile pabulum from Hollyweird, this serious and seriously flawed offering gives thoughtful movie-goers plenty to talk about.” He might have added that controversy also sell tickets, sometimes more than newspaper ads and movie trailers. As for the storyline (the real one), what we know from Genesis is that God considered Noah a “righteous man.” For that reason Noah and his family (and the animals) would be spared so they could repopulate the Earth after the flood. God’s reason for wiping out what He had created was because “every inclination of the thoughts of the human heart was only evil all the time” (Genesis 6:5). From there we get a weather report of rain for 40 days and 40 nights, the opening of the Earth’s floodgates, a dove going out to see if the water had receded and God providing a rainbow as a sign of His promise never to flood the Earth again. That’s it at warp speed. While dramatic enough, there are not enough additional details to sustain a

Waitress charged with . . . Board defrauding receipts By DAN BALMER Peninsula Clarion

changed by Nelson from December to March. The following day the owner called police after discovering several more receipts that had rather large tip amounts added for small purchases, according to the affidavit. One of the café customers contacted the owner about his purchase of a mocha drink back in November and had been charged $16.91 on a credit card the customer never uses. The customer told Day he left his wallet on the counter after purchasing the drink and walked away, according to the report. Day did not want to comment on her former employee, but said it is a “terrible and unfortunate incident” and she wants to do her best to make it right for her customers. She said if people who feel they were mischarged in the last five months can come in and she would work with them to correct it. Nelson was placed under arrest and arraigned in Kenai District Court on March 15. At a bail hearing two days later, Judge Martin Fallon set Nelson’s bail at $5,000 with 10 percent paid in cash. Joel Nelson posted $500 appearance bond for her release. Attorney William Walton is representing Nelson. Her next court date is Friday at the Kenai Courthouse.

A Soldotna woman admitted to police that she altered around 100 gift and credit card transactions totaling $677 in tips in a five-month span at a café she worked at in the Blazy Mall in Soldotna. Ellanora Nelson, 18, was arrested on March 14 and charged with scheme to defraud, a Class B Felony, and unauthorized use of access device, a Class C Felony. If convicted on both charges, Nelson could face a maximum of 15 years in prison and $150,000 fine. Soldotna Police were contacted by Corner Stone Café owner Cynthia Day on March 13 to report her employee Nelson, who had quit the day before, had altered gift and credit card receipts to increase her tips, according to a police report filed by Officer Stephen Clary. Nelson admitted to Day she started altering receipts back in November and wanted to talk with police to resolve the incident, according to the affidavit. During an interview with police, Nelson said she would only charge people for a few items and would take the rest of the bill and place it into the tip column to prevent the customer from noticing the extra money taken from the Reach Dan Balmer at card, according to the report. Day provided police with daniel.balmer@peninsulamultiple credit card receipts clarion.com.

the governor can appoint “from the widest possible field of expertise, without limiting that field to Alaskans.” “I realize that Mr. Rabinow is a resident of Texas. However, he has pipeline expertise spanning over four decades,” Chenault said in his memo. “There are very few individuals in the United States with his level of historical knowledge and executive leadership in the pipeline industry.” His proposed amendment states that a public member to the AGDC board would not have to be a registered voter or resident of the state. The boards of the Alaska Railroad Corp. and the Alaska Aerospace Corp. currently allow for certain members to be nonresidents. Chenault said in an interview that he would prefer Alaskans serve on the board. “But if the brightest person for that job happens to be someone from somewhere else, then I

The bill remains in committee. think that we’ve got to be able to have that ability to pick that talent,” he said. Sen. Kevin Meyer, who sponsored the domestic violence council bill, said he didn’t know how he felt about the “hijacking” of that measure, though he said he didn’t take it personally. Since SB124 has already passed the Senate, once it passes the House it would come back to the Senate, where senators would decide if they agreed with any changes made. If they did not agree, the bill could go to a conference committee. Meyer, R-Anchorage, said at this point, if the changes that Chenault has proposed are made, he would probably vote against concurrence. He said he thinks he speaks for most members of the majority caucus in saying they would feel better with an Alaskan serving. However, he acknowledged the desire to have someone with expertise serving on the board and said he could still possibly be convinced that Rabinow has unique skills that the state will need in pursuing the gas project.

Coalition says corporations aren’t people ANCHORAGE (AP) — A new grassroots group is launching a campaign to get Alaska political leaders and candidates to sign a pledge declaring that only people have rights, and not corporations and unions. The We the People Alaska coalition was beginning its effort Monday in 11 communities, including Anchorage, Fairbanks, Juneau and Kenai, Anchorage Daily News reported. “It’s really about influence,” said Gershon Cohen, who backed a successful ballot initiative in Haines last year that took a stand against “corporate personhood.” “It’s about going to Juneau and having a hard time figuring out who are the legislators and who are the lobbyists.” Cohen said his group is trying to raise the nation’s consciousness in the hopes the U.S. Supreme Court will overturn a 2010 decision. The high court ruled that corporations, unions and other entities had a free-speech right to raise and spend unlimited amounts of money on political campaigns as long as they didn’t work directly with a candidate. Cohen said if enough members of the next state Legislature sign the pledge, it could ease the way to a new law that would define people as individual human beings. That could establish a legal basis for eventual restrictions on lobbying campaign spending by corporations and unions, he said. The coalition says large corporations that spend on political campaigns and lobbying are too powerful. The group wants to lay a foundation for restricting that influence.

should be applied only to new infrastructure and evaluated so taxpayers aren’t faced with excessive financial burdens as a result of the project. Navarre said there is uncertainty about how changes to the existing tax structure to possibly a payment in lieu of tax structure would affect both state and local governments’ long-term revenues. The Kenai Peninsula Borough Assembly earlier this year allocated $50,000 toward hiring a consultant, if necessary, to de-

Around Alaska Sitka herring opener concludes within 45 minutes JUNEAU — In less than an hour Saturday, the Sitka Sound sac roe herring fishery came to an end with nearly 4,000 tons harvested just offshore from downtown Sitka. KCAW reports it took only 45 minutes Saturday afternoon for the 48 permit holders to bring in the massive catch. It brought this year’s total catch to 17,200 tons. It was 900 tons over the guideline harvest level, according to preliminary estimates by the Alaska Department of Fish and Game. For the last two years, seiners failed to reach the harvest limits. Final harvest numbers will be known once processing is completed.

Begich, Sullivan out with new ads JUNEAU — Several new TV ads are out in the Alaska U.S. Senate race. Democratic U.S. Sen. Mark Begich’s new spot features him on snowmobile, and touting his efforts to build a bridge across the Colville River to reach oil leases within the National Petroleum Reserve-Alaska. Republican hopeful Dan Sullivan has two new ads, which his campaign says began running Friday. One features his service in the military and in the state and federal governments. Another is narrated by his wife, Julie Fate Sullivan, in which she talks about Sullivan’s service and role as a husband and father. She talks about the start of their relationship and bringing him to Alaska. Begich also recently ran an ad narrated by his wife. It featured images of his father, who served Alaska in Congress.

Woman’s truck stolen during church service ANCHORAGE — A 30-year-old Air Force member says her truck was stolen while she was nearby attending a service at an Anchorage church. Toni Michelle tells KTUU she was shocked to discover her silver 2008 Dodge Dakota was gone. Michelle, an F-15 E crew chief stationed at Joint Base Elmendorf-Richardson, was attending service at Faith Christian Community church when her vehicle was stolen Sunday. Michelle says police responded quickly but no suspects were immediately found. Michelle says personal information in the vehicle have made it difficult for her to get back home on base.

offer homeowners: home availability, affordability and city growth. Nikiski ranked sixth on the list with an overall score of 63.6 for homeowners, while Kalifornsky was ranked eighth with a score of 62.3. Haines topped the list with an overall scored of 70.4 percent. NerdWallet analyst Maggie Smith, the article’s author, said recent data from the 2012 U.S. Census was used to crunch the numbers. The overall score was determined after calculating homeownership rate, median monthly homeowner costs, household income, home value and the population growth from 2010 to 2012. “The metrics tell potential buyers is who is living in the community and the investment in the town,” she said. “We are seeing in these energy states places where jobs are generally good for home ownership.” Nikiski’s 85 percent homeownership rate and median home value of $165,200 were two reasons the area placed high on the list, she said. Bagley said not to put too much stock in the list and described the rankings as “weird.” While the average home price in Nikiski is affordable, it is not the top market in the area, he said. Kalifornsky and Sterling have experienced the most growth because people are looking for homes along the Kenai River, he said. While Nikiski is close for workers in the oil fields, K-Beach is by far the hottest area in the real estate market, a popular destination for recreational purposes, he said.

According to the 2010 U.S. Census, Kalifornsky is the most populated area at 7,850. Kenai is second with 7,100 people and Sterling third with 5,617. After Homer, Nikiski is fifth with a population of 4,493. Smith said the population growth in Nikiski from 20102012 actually decreased by 0.3 percent, but overall affordability and household income scored high on the list. In the case for Kalifornsky, the population grew by 4.6 percent between 2010 and 2012 and is one of the more affordable places on the list, with monthly homeowner costs representing 24.4 percent of median monthly household income. Smith said Haines topped the list for Alaska home areas because of a massive population growth of 53 percent between

test a flying wind turbine that it hopes could lower power costs to Alaska villages and other remote locations. Altaeros Energies said the Buoyant Airborne Turbine aims to take advantage of high-altitude winds that are stronger and more consistent than those at lower levels. The turbine is lightweight and gets lifted off the ground by a cylindrical fabric shell inflated with helium. The cylinder has four fins that help stabilize it while it’s in the air, the Fairbanks Daily News-Miner reported Monday. Power is sent to the ground through high-strength conductive tethers. Altaeros Energies was founded in 2010 at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology to take advantage of energy offered by wind that blows hundreds of feet high, Altaeros co-founder Adam Rein said. “Because of that, you’re running the generator closer to capacity more of the time,” Rein said. Altaeros operated a pilot program with the flying turbine in Maine, and the next step is a longer deployment, which it looks to do in Alaska. The company has received a grant of about $750,000 from the Alaska Energy Authority to help pay for the new experiment and searched for locations in the state last year. One possibility is the Eva Creek wind farm operated by the Fairbanksbased Golden Valley Electric Association. The company also met with representatives of TDX Power, which provides power to remote locations. “Ultimately, the goal is to deploy the BAT at off-grid village sites that have high (energy) costs,” Rein said. Power rates vary from village to village. The cost per kilowatt hour in Fort Yukon last year was 66 cents but the state’s Power Cost Equalization subsidy program lowered that to 17 cents for residential customers. The company also sees uses for the technology at industries off the power grid and for disaster relief. The cost to install the flying turbine should be up to a third lower than that of a traditional wind turbine and should generate two or three times the energy, Rein said. The company is applying for permits for the pilot program and deployment is likely several months off, he said. The program will cost $1.3 million, and the turbine will remain in the sky for up to 18 months.

Jury selected in Coast Guard shooting trial ANCHORAGE — A jury has been selected in the Anchorage trial of 63-year-old James Michael Wells, a former Coast Guard civilian technician charged with murder in the deaths of two co-workers at a Kodiak communications station. Wells is charged with shooting 51-year-old Richard Belisle and 41-year-old Petty Officer 1st Class James Hopkins. Federal prosecutors say Wells created a false story about a flat tire on April 12, 2012, and used his wife’s sport utility vehicle to follow his co-workers to the communications station, shoot them and exit without being seen. Defense attorneys say Wells is innocent and the government will not be able to link surveillance video to the SUV. — The Associated Press

2010 and 2012. Willow placed second with a homeownership rate of 94.2 percent. Sterling ranked 16th with the average home value of $242,300. Redoubt Realty specializes in house, land, recreational, commercial and multi-family sales in the central peninsula from Glam Gulch to Sterling, Bagley said. The regional average home sales price is $212,893, he said. The median home price rose dramatically from $185,000 in 2011 to $200,000 in 2012 but was down to $198,250 last year. Bagley said a possible explanation for the list would be the low interest rates in 2012, which resulted in people in the area selling their homes for nicer ones for the same payments, generating a lot of home inventory and a high list

of sales. Redoubt Realty has five homes listed in the Nikiski area and six homes for sale on the Kenai River, while the rental market is getting tighter, he said. While it is difficult to speculate what the summer holds for the real estate market, if the start of the year is any indication, Bagley said he expects a lot of potential homebuyers with more people on the peninsula during the tourist season. “Anyone you talk to, people are extremely optimistic about the future,” he said. “People are buying and selling homes to live, work and play here.” Reach Dan Balmer at daniel.balmer@peninsulaclarion. com.

Around the World Health care sign-up campaign goes all out on deadline day despite website problems WASHINGTON — In a flood of last-minute sign-ups, hundreds of thousands of Americans rushed to apply for health insurance Monday, as deadline day for President Barack Obama’s overhaul brought long waits and a new spate of website ills. “This is like trying to find a parking spot at Wal-Mart on Dec. 23,” said Jason Stevenson, working with a Utah nonprofit group helping people enroll. Supporters of the health care law fanned out across the country in a final dash to sign up uninsured Americans. The HealthCare.gov website, which was receiving 1.5 million visitors a day last week, had recorded about 1.2 million through noon Monday. At times, more than 125,000 people were simultaneously using the system, straining it beyond its previously estimated capacity. People not signed up for health insurance by the deadline, either through their jobs or on their own, were subject to being fined by the IRS, and that threat was helping drive the final dash. The administration announced last week that people still in line by midnight would get extra time to enroll.

US talking with Israel on possible release of convicted spy Jonathan Pollard JERUSALEM — The United States is talking with Israel about releasing convicted spy Jonathan Pollard early from his life sentence as an incentive to the Israelis in the troubled Mideast peace negotiations, people familiar with the talks said Monday. Releasing Pollard, a thorn in U.S.-Israeli relations for three decades, would be an extraordinary step underscoring the urgency of U.S. peace efforts. Two people describing the talks cautioned that such a release — which would be a dramatic turnaround from previous refusals — was far from certain and that discussions with Israel on the matter were continuing. Both spoke only on condition of anonymity because they were not authorized to discuss the talks on the record. In return for the release, the people close to the talks said, Israel would have to undertake significant concessions to the Palestinians in Middle East negotiations. Such concessions could include some kind of freeze on Israeli settlements in disputed territory, the release of Palestinian prisoners beyond those Israel has already agreed to free and a guarantee that Israel would stay at the negotiating table beyond an end-ofApril deadline. Secretary of State John Kerry was meeting with chief Palestinian negotiator Saab Erekat and another Palestinian official late Monday, then planned an early Tuesday meeting with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. U.S. defense and intelligence officials have consistently argued against releasing Pollard. — The Associated Press

Bill to stop cuts to Medicare By ANDREW TAYLOR Associated Press

WASHINGTON — Congress is poised to give doctors who treat Medicare patients an eleventh-hour reprieve from a cut in their government fees. Monday’s planned Senate vote would send legislation to repair Medicare’s flawed payment formula for a year to President Barack Obama for his signature. It comes just hours before a midnight deadline. The $21 billion measure would stave off a 24 percent cut in Medicare reimbursements to doctors for a year and extend dozens of other expiring health care provisions such as higher payment rates for rural hospitals. The legislation is paid for by cuts to health care providers, but fully half of the cuts won’t kick in for 10 years. It’s the seventeenth temporary “patch” to a broken payment formula that dates to 1997 and comes after lawmakers failed to reach a deal on financing a permanent fix. The measure passed the

‘For the millions of elderly Americans and their doctors this fix is good news. It means the promise of accessible, quality health care to our nation’s seniors is being honored for another year.’ — Majority leader Harry Reid, D-Nev., House on Thursday, but only after top leaders in both parties engineered a voice vote when it became clear they were having difficulty mustering the twothirds vote required to advance it under expedited procedures. Several top Democrats opposed the bill, saying it would take momentum away from the drive to permanently solve the payment formula problem. There’s widespread agreement on bipartisan legislation to redesign the payment formula that would doctors 0.5 percent annual fee increases and implement reforms aimed at giving doctors incentives to provide less costly care. But there’s no agreement on how to pay the ap-

proximately $140 billion cost of scrapping the old formula. Senate Finance Committee Chairman Ron Wyden, D-Ore., promised to keep pressing ahead with a long-term solution, proposing to use savings from the troop drawdown in Afghanistan to pay the cost. Republicans and most budget experts say such savings are phony and are demanding at least some of the money to come from cuts to Obama’s Affordable Care Act. “Paying for this through (war savings) is the mother of all gimmicks,” said Sen. Jeff Sessions, R-Ala. “We just don’t have the votes right now to fix this problem for good,” said Majority leader Har-

ry Reid, D-Nev., who negotiated the measure with House Speaker John Boehner, R-Ohio. “For the millions of elderly Americans and their doctors this fix is good news. It means the promise of accessible, quality health care to our nation’s seniors is being honored for another year.” The heavily lobbied measure blends $16 billion to address Medicare physicians’ payments with about $5 billion more for a variety of other expiring health care provisions, like higher Medicare payments to rural hospitals and for ambulance rides in rural areas. Manufacturers of certain drugs to treat kidney disease catch a break, as do dialysis providers and the state of California, which receives increases in Medicare physician fees in 14 counties such as San Diego and Sacramento that are designated as rural and whose doctors therefore receive lower payments than their urban counterparts. The bill increases spending by $17 billion over the next three years, offsetting the cost with cuts to health care providers.

Russia pulls back a battalion from border By LAURA MILLS and VLADIMIR ISACHENKOV Associated Press

SIMFEROPOL, Crimea — Russia said Monday it was pulling a battalion of several hundred troops away from the Ukrainian border but kept tens of thousands in place, prompting a worried response from the Kiev government about what the U.S. warned was still a “tremendous buildup.” Russia moved quickly to strengthen its economic hold on Crimea, with Prime Minister Dmitry Medvedev arriving in the newly annexed peninsula with promises of funds for improved power supplies, water

lines, education and pensions for the elderly. Russia’s takeover of the strategic Black Sea region, its troop buildup near Ukraine’s border and its attempts to compel constitutional changes in Ukraine have markedly raised tensions with the West and prompted fears that Moscow intends to invade other areas of its neighbor. However, Russian President Vladimir Putin told German Chancellor Angela Merkel in a phone call Monday that some troops were being withdrawn from the Ukraine border, Merkel’s office said. The withdrawal involved a battalion of about 500 troops, Russian news

reports said. The U.S. reacted cautiously to the Russian troop movement, with Secretary of Defense Chuck Hagel saying that “tens of thousands” of Russian forces still remained along the Ukrainian border, a situation he called “a tremendous buildup.” The new government in Ukraine said the action only increased its uneasiness about Russia’s intentions. “We have information that Russia is carrying out incomprehensible maneuvers on the border with Ukraine,” Ukrainian Foreign Ministry spokesman Yevgen Perebyinis said. “Troops in some places are

moving backward, some of them are moving forward. Which is why, obviously, we are worried by these movements of armed forces. We have no clear explanation from the Russian side about the aim of these movements.” Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov and U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry also discussed Ukraine by phone Monday, a day after holding talks in Paris, the Russian foreign ministry said. A senior U.S. official said Lavrov had promised Kerry that a division of Russian troops would be pulled back; a division generally consists of thousands of troops.

Japan whaling future in doubt after court ruling By TOBY STERLING Associated Press

THE HAGUE, Netherlands — The future of whaling in Japan was thrown into doubt after the International Court of Justice ruled Monday that the nation’s annual hunt in the Antarctic was not really for scientific purposes — as Tokyo had claimed — and ordered it halted. The ruling was a major victory for whaling opponents, as it ends for now one of the world’s biggest whale hunts, for minkes in the icy Southern Ocean. The judgment was praised by Australia, which brought the case against Japan in 2010, and by environmentalists, who have been seeking an end to whaling since the 1970s on ethical grounds. The world court’s decision leaves Japan with a tough choice between ending whaling outright — despite past claims that it would never abandon such a deep-seated cultural practice — or redesigning its program to make it a scientific endeavor after all. Japan has previously all but ruled out joining Norway and Iceland in openly flouting the international consensus against commercial whaling.

Former Australian environment minister Peter Garrett, who oversaw the suit’s launch, said he felt vindicated. “I’m absolutely over the moon, for all those people who wanted to see the charade of scientific whaling cease once and for all,” Garrett told Australian Broadcasting Corp. radio. “I think (this) means without any shadow of a doubt that we won’t see the taking of whales in the Southern Ocean in the name of science.” In a 12-4 majority judgment, the U.N. court sided with Australia, finding that Japan’s program fell short of following scientific methods. For instance, judges said Japan had given no reason for its target of 850 minke whales annually and often failed to meet the target. It gave no defense of why it needed to kill that many to study them. And the “research” program had produced just two peer-reviewed scientific papers since 2005. “The court concludes that the special permits granted by Japan for the killing, taking, and treating of whales ... are not ‘for purposes of scientific research’,” presiding judge Peter Tomka said. The court ordered Japan to

grant no further permits for its current Antarctic program. Japan had argued its study was aimed at determining whether commercial hunting could be conducted on a sustainable basis. The International Court of Justice is the U.N.’s court for resolving disputes between nations and its ruling are binding and not subject to appeal. Although sovereign countries can and occasionally do ignore them at times, both Japan and Australia had pledged to abide

by this decision. Japan’s Chief Cabinet Secretary Yoshihide Suga said Monday the government will keep its word and obey the court “as a state that places a great importance on the international legal order.” However, he criticized the International Whaling Commission, the main international body that regulates whaling, which ordered a moratorium on all commercial whaling in 1986. That moratorium has remained in place despite recom-

mendations from its own scientific committee that some whale species are robust enough to support a whaling industry. Suga said Japan has cooperated with the IWC for decades “despite the deep divisions within the Commission, and its inability in recent years to function effectively.” He left the question of what Japan will do next unanswered. Membership in the International Whaling Commission is voluntary and Norway and Iceland have simply decided to ignore its mandates while remaining members. Under IWC rules, countries are allowed to issue themselves as many permits as they see fit to kill whales for scientific purposes. The permits are subject to a nonbinding review by a 200-member scientific committee that has been critical of Japan for many of the same reasons outlined by the world court in Monday’s ruling. Norway hunts around 500 minke whales in the northeast Atlantic each year, while Iceland hunts roughly 50. Japan has a second scientific program in the north Pacific which culls around 100 minke whales annually. That program may now

also be open to challenge because it was not covered in the Australian suit. Activist Pete Bethune, a New Zealander who has clashed frequently with Japanese whalers in attempts to stop their hunt, said “justice was served” by Monday’s ruling. “The court dissected their scientific program, pulled it to bits and it proved that the amount of science is tiny relative to the commercial aspects,” he said outside the courtroom. The ruling left the door open for Japan to launch a new scientific hunt, though any new program would face intense scrutiny and would presumably need to be better designed. Judges said explicitly there was nothing in international law that forbids killing whales as part of a scientific study. It also noted that whales culled for scientific purposes may be slaughtered and sold — although that could not be the primary purpose of a scientific study. Consumption of whale meat has declined in popularity in Japan in recent years but it is still considered a delicacy by some. Most of the whale meat from Japanese hunts ends up being sold.

Jury selection begins in Apple-Samsung case By MARTHA MENDOZA AP National Writer

SAN JOSE, Calif. — The world’s two leading smartphone makers were back in federal court on Monday, accusing each other of stealing ideas and features. The trial in Silicon Valley, which got underway with jury selection, marks the latest round in a long-running series of lawsuits between Apple Inc. and Samsung. If Apple prevails in the current case, the cost to Samsung could reach $2 billion. Apple’s costs, if it loses the litigation, were expected to be about $6 million. Whatever the outcome, it could be the consumer who ends up paying the ultimate price. Experts say the litigation could lead to more expensive

smartphones and devices and slow the overall pace of mobile innovation. “The most direct effect of this patent fight on consumers would be if the judge blocked one of these popular phones from the market,” said Rutgers Law School professor Michael A. Carrier. Carrier said patent litigation costs businesses time and money. “What’s even more worrisome for the effect on innovation is the impact on small innovators,” said Carrier. “Apple and Samsung can afford this litigation. The next upstart cannot.” In the case in U.S. District Court, Apple is accusing Samsung of infringing on five patents on newer devices, including Galaxy smartphones and tablets. In a counterclaim,

Samsung says Apple stole two of its ideas to use on iPhones and iPads. Jury selection could be challenging because the federal courthouse in San Jose is just a 15-minute drive from the Cupertino headquarters of Apple. Most prospective jurors said they were at least somewhat familiar with the dispute, including many who work for companies affiliated with either Samsung or Apple. Some locals had strong opinions. “Neither company has been a particular favorite of mine. Both have been bullies with their patent libraries,” said prospective juror Armen Hamstra, a LinkedIn software engineer and patent holder who was not immediately excused from the jury pool despite requests from attorneys. The two tech giants have

battled in litigation around the world. Less than two years ago, a federal jury in the same court found Samsung was infringing on Apple patents. Samsung was ordered to pay about $900 million but is appealing and has been allowed to continue selling products using the technology. Throughout three years of litigation, Samsung’s global market share has grown. One of every three smartphones sold last year was a Samsung, now the market leader. Apple, with its typically higher priced iPhones, was second, with about 15 percent of the market. Experts say the case underscores a much larger concern about what is allowed to be patented. “There’s a widespread suspicion that lots of the kinds of

software patents at issue are written in ways that cover more ground than what Apple or any other tech firm actually invented,” Notre Dame law professor Mark McKenna said. “Overly broad patents allow companies to block competition.” In court filings, Apple said Samsung has “systematically copied Apple’s innovative technology and products, features and designs, and has deluged markets with infringing devices.” Samsung countered that it has broken technological barriers with its own lightweight, ultra-slim phones. “Samsung has been a pioneer in the mobile device business sector since the inception of the mobile device industry,” Samsung attorneys wrote. “Apple has copied many of Samsung’s innovations in its Apple iPhone,

iPod, and iPad products.” Specifically, Apple claims Samsung stole a tap-fromsearch technology that allows someone searching for a telephone number or address on the Web to tap on the results to call the number or put the address into a map. In addition, Apple says Samsung copied “Slide to Unlock,” which allows users to swipe the face of their smartphone to use it. Samsung countered that Apple is stealing a wireless technology system that speeds up receiving and sending data. Apple is demanding that Samsung pay a $40 royalty for each Samsung device running software allegedly conceived by Apple. The figure is more than five times more than the amount sought in the previous trial and well above other precedents.

Brewers welcome back Braun with win By The Associated Press

MILWAUKEE — Brewers star Ryan Braun drew a standing ovation in his return from a drug suspension, then was ruled out in the first call overturned under baseball’s expanded replay system as Milwaukee beat the Atlanta Braves 2-0 on Monday in a season opener. Braun went 1 for 4 and stole a base in the fourth inning that helped set up a two-run double by Aramis Ramirez.

The 21-year-old Fernandez earned the victory while becoming the youngest NL opening-day starter since Dwight Gooden in 1986, according to STATS. Marcell Ozuna homered, doubled, singled and scored twice. Giancarlo Stanton had an RBI infield single and a run-scoring double. Adeiny Hechavarria singled three times and drove in a run. Carlos Gonzalez homered for the Rockies in the sixth, but by then they trailed 6-0. Jorge De La Rosa (0-1) allowed five runs in 4 1-3 innings in his first opening day start.

KINGS 102, PELICANS 97 NEW ORLEANS — DeMarcus Cousins had 35 points and 14 rebounds, and Sacramento snapped a three-game skid by beating New Orleans. Ray McCallum, starting because of Isaiah Thomas’ right thigh injury, scored 22 points. Rudy Gay also scored 22, including a momentum-swinging 3-pointer after the Pelicans had pulled within a point in the fourth quarter.

drove in a career-high four runs, twice rallying the Nationals against the Mets’ suspect bullpen for an opening-day victory. Denard Span hit a tying double with two outs in the ninth off closer Bobby Parnell, and Ian Desmond put the Nationals in front for the first time with a sacrifice fly in the 10th. Rendon connected two batters later against former Washington pitcher John Lannan, securing a win for Matt Williams in his first game as a major league manager. Stephen Strasburg struck out 10 over six innings in his third straight openingday start. Juan Lagares and Andrew Brown both homered for New York after they were surprise additions to the lineup. Aaron Barrett (1-0) struck out two in a perfect inning to win his major league debut.

run homer off new Arizona closer Addison Reed in the ninth inning and the Giants rallied from four runs down to beat the Diamondbacks. Miguel Montero, who had three hits and reached base five times, homered to lead off the Arizona ninth and make it a one-run game. Brandon Belt had three hits, including a solo home run, and singled ahead of Posey’s homer. Arizona scored four unearned runs off starter Madison Bumgarner in the fourth and led 7-3 after six. San Francisco got four runs with two outs in the seventh, with reliever Brad Ziegler walking in the tying run. Jean Machi (1-0) pitched 1 2-3 innings of relief to get the victory. Reed (0-1), acquired from the Chicago White Sox in the offseason, got the loss.

PHILLIES 14, RANGERS 10 ARLINGTON, Texas — Jimmy Rollins hit a grand slam and pinch-hitter John Mayberry Jr. had a two-run double that put the Philadelphia ahead to stay in a wild opening victory over the Texas Rangers on Monday.

Marlon Byrd and Cody Asche also homered for the Phillies, who scored their most runs in an opener since beating the Boston Beaneaters 19-17 in 1900. Cliff Lee (1-0) matched his career high by allowing eight runs and struck out only one, but the left-hander made it through five innings. Tanner Scheppers, the first pitcher since Fernando Valenzuela for the 1981 Los Angeles Dodgers in 1981 to make his first big league start on opening day, gave up seven runs over four innings, including the slam by Rollins that made it 6-0 in the second. Mayberry had his tiebreaking hit in the fifth off Pedro Figueroa (0-1) for a 9-7 lead.

ORIOLES 2, RED SOX 1 BALTIMORE — Nelson Cruz celebrated his Baltimore debut by hitting a tiebreaking homer in the seventh off Jon Lester (0-1), sending World Series champion Boston to an opening loss. Signed as a free agent in February, Cruz hit 27 homers last year with Texas during a season marred by a 50-game suspension stemming from an investigation of performance-enhancing drugs. After missing two seasons recovering from knee surgery, Boston center fielder Grady Sizemore marked his return from a 922-day absence with a second-inning single for his first hit since September 2011.

McDermott gets 3rd All-America nod

Doug McDermott spent his senior season passing a lot of big names on the career scoring list. He is now among some very select company. The senior forward from Creighton was a unanimous choice for The Associated Press All-America team on Monday. He is the first three-time choice in 29 years and the 11th player overall. McDermott, who led the nation in scoring at 26.9 points a game, joins Oscar Robertson, Lew Alcindor, Pete Maravich and Bill Walton among others. The last three-time All-Americas were Patrick Ewing of Georgetown and Wayman Tisdale of Oklahoma from 1982-85. “Never in my wildest dreams did I imagine being with names of that caliber,” McDermott said. “Truly an honor to be an All-American three straight years. It’s hard to wrap my mind around being in the company of those guys.” McDermott was one of four seniors on this year’s team, which included freshman Jabari Parker of Duke. The other seniors all came from the first-year American Athletic Conference: Russ Smith of Louisville, Shabazz Napier of Connecticut and Sean Kilpatrick of Cincinnati. It’s the first time one conference had three players picked since the Atlantic Coast Conference in 2001-02 with Duke’s Shane Battier and Jason Williams and North Carolina’s Joseph Forte. McDermott received 65 first-team votes and 325 points from the same national media panel that selects the weekly Top 25. Parker drew 55 first-team votes and was second with 303 points. Smith had 54 first-team votes and 298 points, 44 more than Napier, who got 37 first-team votes. Kilpatrick was a first-team pick 37 times and had 243 points.

Devils hold on against Panthers By The Associated Press

NEWARK, N.J. — Travis Zajac scored the first of his career-best three goals just 12 seconds in, and the New Jersey Devils held on for a 6-3 victory over the Florida Panthers on Monday night after nearly blowing a three-goal lead. Zajac opened the barrage against Dan Ellis and then netted his second midway through New Jersey’s three-goal first period. He completed his first NHL hat trick at 9:37 of the third. Jaromir Jagr had a goal and three assists, and Ryane Clowe added a goal and two assists. Zajac also had an assist for the Devils, who are hoping a late-

Craig Anderson stopped all three Carolina shooters, including Elias Lindholm with the final attempt, to earn the victory. Mika Zibanejad scored in regulation for the Senators, and Ander-

LINCOLN, Neb. — Kaleena MosquedaLewis continued her splendid run through the NCAA tournament with 17 points, and Connecticut advanced to the women’s Final Four for the seventh straight year with a 69-54 victory against Texas A&M on Monday night. The defending national champion Hus-

Wiggins goes pro LAWRENCE, Kan. — Kansas freshman Andrew Wiggins made official Monday what he’s been telling folks all along: He’s headed to the NBA after his only season with the Jayhawks. The 6-foot-8 forward, who was voted second-team All-America earlier in the day, is expected to go in the top three picks in the June draft. Many believe he could go first overall. “It wasn’t an easy decision because the fans showed me so much love here,” said Wiggins, choking up briefly during a news conference at Allen Fieldhouse. “I just wish I had more time. College goes by so fast. I can see why people stay all four years.” Wiggins was the top-rated recruit when he arrived at Kansas, and his brief career was a bit of a roller coaster. He struggled early in the season, caught fire midway through, and then flamed out when it mattered most in an NCAA tournament loss to Stanford. That ultimately didn’t have any bearing on his decision, though. He announced he was going pro while joined by Kansas coach Bill Self, his parents — former NBA player Mitchell Wiggins and Olympic silver medalist Marita Payne Wiggins — his older brother Mitchell Jr., and several of his teammates, including fellow freshmen Wayne Selden and Joel Embiid. Selden has already announced he’s returning for his sophomore — Staff and wire reports season.

Readers full of foolishness help to celebrate the season DEAR READERS: It’s April Fools’ Day, the one day I can share some of the more unique letters that come my way — clearly, more than a few of which were written in an attempt to have some fun with me. Enjoy! DEAR ABBY: Many times when I would wake up in the morning, I’d find toothpaste already on my toothbrush, courtesy of my foreign-born girlfriend, “Inger.” Because I am chivalrous, I figured I would return the favor. So at night before going to bed or in the morning, I’d tiptoe to the bathroom and put toothpaste on her toothbrush. Well, the other day Inger told me, “DON’T put toothpaste on my toothbrush!” I was flabbergasted. And if that’s not enough, she no longer preps my toothbrush, either. I know, I know — I should have asked a simple “Why?” but I wasn’t in the mood for drama. Now it’s eating at me and I just don’t get it. — CONFUSED IN CONNECTICUT DEAR CONFUSED: I’m sorry to be the bearer of bad news, but here it is: Inger appears to be giving you the brush-off.

tos to wear with it, black or white. I don’t want to look trashy. — FASHIONISTA IN THE EAST DEAR FASHIONISTA: With latex in April, wear flats and a LONG overcoat.

DEAR ABBY: I married a wonderful man last week. It was the wedding of my dreams except for one thing: Abigail Van Buren My husband’s sister brought six birds with her and insisted it was perfectly acceptable to keep them in the reception area. My new inlaws all said I was “unreasonable” for not allowing the caged birds in the reception area. I was strong and stood my ground. After a year of preparation, I didn’t want our nuptials spoiled by uninvited birds. Has anyone ever written to you about uninvited birds being brought to a wedding? — RUFFLED FEATHERS IN RENO DEAR RUFFLED: The only ones I can recall DEAR ABBY: I have this really hot, sexy latex were a few cuckoos, but I’m not sure they were of dress in lilac. I can’t decide which color 6-inch stilet- the avian variety.

DEAR ABBY: I have a dear old friend I talk with on the phone several times a day. She is the talkative type and sometimes keeps me on the phone for half an hour at a time. The problem is I have an overactive bladder and sometimes must rush to the bathroom. It’s very embarrassing. Is there a nice way to tell her I need to get off the phone for a few minutes without being rude or too specific? — LEAKING IN LAS VEGAS DEAR LEAKING: Yes. Tell her to hang on, you’ll be back in a flush. DEAR ABBY: All the letters you have printed about pennies brought back the memories of what happened in our family when I was very small. My mother won a $10 gold piece for her sponge cake, but our family dog swallowed the coin. You are probably wondering if we got the coin back. No, we didn’t. Turned out the coin was counterfeit, and the dog couldn’t “pass it.” — GOTCHA! IN AMHERST, OHIO DEAR GOTCHA!: Now that’s a shaggy dog story if I ever heard one. (And for a moment, I swallowed it.)

HAPPY BIRTHDAY for Tuesday, April 1, 2014: This year you are very willful. You will try to rule your world with an iron fist. Your efforts will succeed most of the time. Remember to be reasonable and recognize your limits. You might be weighing the pros and cons of certain expenditures. Know that your decision will be important. If you are single, your charisma attracts many admirers. You need to decide what kind of relationship you desire before you can choose the right person for that type of bond. If you are attached, your sweetie can’t seem to get enough of you. One of you could become quite possessive. If you are the possessive one, ask yourself why you are so insecure. TAURUS can’t see as far ahead as you can. 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 You have much more to offer than you realize.

Think before you leap into action. Understanding will evolve because of an associate who is willing to express his or her ideas, even if they seem rather silly or outrageous. Tonight: Burn the midnight oil. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) HHHH You might want to approach a situation differently from how you initially thought you would.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) HHHHH You are full of energy, and you’re willing to do whatever feels right. When someone notices your mood, he or she might ask you to pitch in and help with a project. Stay true to yourself — only choose what you want to do. Tonight: Hang out with your friends. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) HHH Look at your costs before you jump in and say “yes” to an invitation; otherwise, you could live to regret it.

Tiny batteries can be a big problem Dear Heloise: Please warn your readers of the dangers of button batteries and children swallowing them. My son was able to get one out of a musical greeting card, but luckily I was there and stopped him before he could put it in his mouth. It seems more items have these tiny batteries, and we all need to be aware of the danger. — Julie T. in Indiana Thank goodness your son is OK! And thank you for writing to warn parents and grandparents. These very small batteries can be in children’s books, some toys with remote controls and even greeting cards! Sadly, more children are ending up needing medical attention because they swallow these batteries, or even stick them in their nose or ears, as young children are prone to do! So try to keep these batteries out of their reach. If you think your child has swallowed a battery, DON’T let him or her eat or drink, and don’t try to get your child to vomit. Seek medical attention immediately — call 911! Please don’t waste valuable time thinking it’s not a big deal. It is, and don’t drive your child to the hospital yourself — call 911. It’s better to go to the emergency room and have it NOT be a life-threatening situation. — Heloise Keep dry Dear Heloise: When I go to an outdoor event or on vacation and plan to use my camera, I always pack a shower cap in my pocket or purse. Many times I have protected my camera by covering it with the shower cap when an unexpected rain shower went through or there was a splash from ocean waves. — Maria D. in Florida

Animal groups aim for no-kill Utah by 2019 SALT LAKE CITY (AP) — A coalition of animal welfare groups is working to drastically cut the number of pets killed in Utah shelters by the year 2019. The Best Friends Animal Society launched its No-Kill Utah campaign on Sunday in front of The Leonardo museum in Salt Lake City. Utah can earn the nokill distinction if its shelters combined save at least 90 percent of animals they accept.

Utah would be the second state in the U.S. with such a status, behind New Hampshire. Best Friends and 36 other groups plan to work toward no-kill status by educating shelter employees, increasing the number of adoptions and spaying and neutering animals. Twenty-three of the state’s 56 shelters are already considered no-kill. The state’s shelters saved 70 percent of animals that they accepted in 2013.
