Senate passes education bill Conference committee to hammer out differences between Senate, House By BECKY BOHRER Associated Press

JUNEAU — The Alaska Senate passed a broad-ranging education bill Monday, but the issue of how to address public education in the state — and funding, in particular — remained to be resolved in an extended legislative session. The House and Senate each appointed negotiators for a conference committee on the bill before adjourning Monday evening, guaranteeing at least one more day in Juneau.

Resolution on education was needed to close out the capital budget because additional funding could be attached to the budget. The House, which powered through bills over the last week or so in sessions sometimes lasting late in the day, had two Senate bills on its calendar Monday, including the budget and some concurrence votes. It considered amendments to the budget after gaveling in Monday afternoon. Sunday was supposed to be the end of the scheduled 90day session. But education be-

came a sticking point between the House and Senate in the waning days. While voters approved the 90-day limit — and many lawmakers in the past have been loath to violate that in the past — the constitution allows for up to 121 days. Lawmakers decided to just keep plowing ahead. The House and Senate each adjourned after 4 a.m. Monday. Some lawmakers were antsy AP Photo/Becky Bohrer to get their work done; Senate Majority Leader John Coghill, Sens. Lesil McGuire, left, and John Coghill, the majority leader, R-North Pole, said he hoped to speak with Senate President Charlie Huggins during a break in See BILL, page A-6 floor debate on an education bill on Monday in Juneau.

In the news Coast Guard rescues 3 from ship south of Kodiak

ANCHORAGE (AP) — The Coast Guard has hoisted three injured crewmen from a Liberian-flagged ship about 200 miles south of Kodiak. The men were injured when a large wave hit the 587-foot cargo ship Copacabana on Sunday. Coast Guard Petty Officer Shawn Eggert said Monday evening that two Jayhawk helicopter crews transported the men to Kodiak to meet commercial medical flight services, which flew the men to medical care in Anchorage. The ship was about 500 miles south of Kodiak when the wave hit. The men reportedly received multiple injuries, and a Coast Guard flight surgeon recommended they receive a higher level of care than was available on the ship. The ship was told to alter course toward Kodiak for a rendezvous. A flight surgeon and a health services technician trained in emergency care accompanied the helicopter crews to provide in-flight medical care.

Correction In the Connection inserted in Sunday’s Clarion, the meeting time for the Soldotna City Council was listed incorrectly. The Soldotna City Council meets at 6 p.m. on the second and fourth Wednesdays of each month. The Clarion regrets the error.

Lawmakers approved tax credit bill for Alaska refineries during deliberations Sunday night, but excluded the Agrium Corp. fertilizer plant in Nikiski from the plan. House Bill 287 was originally introduced by Gov. Sean Parnell to aid in-state refineries. As passed, companies may receive 40 percent of “qualified infrastructure expenditures incurred” which includes “in-state purchase, installation or modification of tangible personal property for the in-state manufacture or in-state transport of refined petroleum products or petroleum-based feedstock.” House Speaker Mike Chenault, R-Nikiski, proposed an amendment to include Agrium during a Rules committee meeting on Wednesday by adding the words “hydrocarbon processing facility” as a part of qualified infrastructure. Agrium is considering reopening its Nikiski location, which stopped producing fertilizer and ammonia from natural gas in 2007. The restart is estimated to cost $200 million. Chenault said he’s “not real happy” that the bill passed without Agrium. “It maybe would have helped with bringing Agrium back,” Chenault said. … “We’re going to continue to work with Agrium to see if there’s something that, if we need to do it, that it helps them and brings back See AGRIUM, page A-6

Woman indicted for Resolution in gas dispute pending Kenai shooting incident mission chair Cathy Foerster 30 percent of the gas from the By DAN BALMER Peninsula Clarion

A Sterling woman arrested in a shooting incident outside of the Kenai Walmart last November has been indicted on three felony charges. On Friday, a Kenai Grand Jury indicted Ashley Nelund, 28, for misconduct involving weapons in the second-degree, a class B felony, and two counts

of assault in the third-degree, a class C felony. Nelund was originally charged with attempted murder in the first-degree, first-degree attempted assault and seconddegree misconduct involving weapons after Kenai Police alleged she fired multiple gunshots at an occupied vehicle in the Walmart parking lot on Nov. 1, 2013.

A dispute between Buccaneer Energy, Cook Inlet Region Inc. and the State of Alaska over natural gas royalties from Kenai Peninsula wells could be resolved within a month, according to the Alaska Oil and Gas Conservation Commission. At a Monday hearing, comC

said if the groups could not reach a settlement within 30 days the commission would act as an arbitrator and make a ruling. Cook Inlet Region Inc., or CIRI, claims that two Buccaneer wells — the KL 1-1 and KL 1-3 wells — on the company’s Kenai Loop pad have been draining gas from beneath a nearby CIRI-owned parcel and that it is entitled to

wells. Buccaneer does not dispute that the draining is occurring. None of the four Kenai Loop wells are on CIRI property, however, and while Buccaneer has lease agreements with the state and the Alaska Mental Health Trust Authority, the groups do not have a pooling agreement for the gas or subsequent royalties in See GAS, page A-6

By BINAJ GURUBACHARYA Associated Press

KATMANDU, Nepal — Buddhist monks cremated the remains of Sherpa guides who were buried in the deadliest avalanche to hit Mount Everest, a disaster that has prompted calls for a climbing boycott by Nepal’s ethnic Sherpa community. Nepal’s government said late Monday it would consider the Sherpa’s demands for more insurance money, more financial aid for the families of the victims, the formation of a relief fund and regulations that would ensure climbers’ rights. A committee formed with guides, rescuers and others will make its recommendations Tuesday, said Maddhu Sudan Burlakoti, head of the mountaineering department. A total Sherpa boycott could critically disrupt the Everest climbing season, which is key to the livelihood of thousands of Nepali guides and porters. Everest climbers have long relied on Sherpas for everything from hauling gear to cooking

food to high-altitude guiding. At least 13 Sherpas were killed when a block of ice tore loose from the mountain and triggered a cascade that ripped through teams of guides hauling gear. Three Sherpas missing in Friday’s avalanche are presumed dead. “Right now, I can’t even think of going back to the mountain,” said Tashi Dorje, whose cousin was killed. “We have not just lost our family members, but it is a loss for the whole mountaineering community and the country.” Hundreds of people lined the streets of Nepal’s capital, Katmandu, on Monday as the bodies of six of the victims were driven in open trucks decorated with Buddhist flags. During the cremation ceremony, dozens of nuns chanted for the victims’ souls to be released as the bodies were covered in pine branches. A daughter of one of the climbers fainted and was taken to the hospital. While the work on Everest is dangerous, it has also become

The following comments were submitted by our readers: “No doubt that this poll will be greatly skewed by the save the pool foundation, a vocal minority group that likes to use this pool but wants everyone else to pay for it. That said, the remaining pools in the area could easily accommodate the user load in this area.” C

the most sought-after work for many Sherpas. A top high-altitude guide can earn $6,000 in a three-month climbing season, nearly 10 times Nepal’s $700 average annual salary. The avalanche came just as climbing was to begin in earnest, with mountaineers set to begin moving above base camp and slowly acclimatizing to the altitude on the world’s highest mountain. Most attempts to reach the 8,850-meter (29,035-foot) summit occur in mid-May, when weather is at its most favorable. Since the avalanche, the Sherpas have expressed anger that there has not been a bigger response from Nepal’s government, which profits from the permit fees charged to the climbing expeditions. Ang Tshering of the Nepal Mountaineering Association said about 400 foreign climbers from 39 expedition teams are on the mountain with an equal number of Sherpa guides, along with many more support staff such as cooks, cleaners and porters in the base camp.

The Tourism Ministry, which handles the mountaineering affairs, said it has not been told of any cancellations by expedition teams. Katmandu-based Alpine Everest Guides hoped to hire new Sherpas to continue its expedition after six of its guides died or went missing in the avalanche, agency representative Ishwor Poudel said. Those plans would be difficult if a mass boycott occurred. Some Sherpas had already left the mountain by Monday, either joining the boycott or mourning their friends and colleagues. The government has announced an emergency aid of 40,000 rupees ($415) for the families of the deceased climbers, but the Sherpas are demanding better treatment.

Exhibit recreates Warhol’s 1964 World’s Fair mural By ULA ILNYTZKY Associated Press

NEW YORK — Even for a 1964 New York World’s Fair that celebrated “The World of Tomorrow,” Andy Warhol may have been ahead of his time. His monumental piece commissioned specifically for the fair — a mural depicting mug shots of the New York Police Department’s 13 most-wanted criminals — was deemed too edgy for the family friendly event and was painted over just before opening day. Now, 50 years later, the work is the focus of a museum exhibition being staged on the very fairgrounds where the pop-art provocateur was censored. “There’s no question Warhol was not interested in the notion of a family friendly fair,” said Larissa Harris, the exhibition’s curator. “It’s possible that he understood the concept very clearly, but he did this absolutely intentionally.” The exhibition, “13 Most Wanted Men: Andy Warhol and the 1964 World’s Fair,” opens April 27 at the Queens Museum in Flushing Meadows Corona Park. It includes never-before-shown archival documents and materials, including the artist’s letter agreeing to the paint-over and the

NYPD mug shot booklet. Warhol was one of 10 artists commissioned by famed architect Philip Johnson to create 20-foot-by-20-foot artworks for the outside of the New York State Pavilion’s Circarama theater. Gov. Nelson Rockefeller, who was seeking the Republican presidential nomination at the time, gave the order to paint over Warhol’s mural. The stated reason, according to Johnson and others, was because seven of the 13 criminals were Italians and he didn’t want to risk alienating his Italian constituencies, Harris said. “It does seem like an incredibly bold step,” said Nicholas Chambers, a curator at The Andy Warhol Museum in Pittsburgh, which is collaborating on the exhibition. “In retrospect, it seems that was the only possible outcome — that it had to be censored.” According to his autobiography, Warhol believed the work was whitewashed “because of some political thing I never understood.” Warhol offered another work as a replacement — 25 identical portraits arranged in a grid of the fair’s controversial head Robert Moses — but it was rejected by Johnson as inappropriate.

Apple offering free recycling of products By MICHAEL LIEDTKE AP Technology Writer

SAN FRANCISCO — Apple is offering free recycling of all its used products and vowing to power all of its stores, offices and data centers with renewable energy to reduce the pollution caused by its devices and online services. The iPhone and iPad maker is detailing its efforts to cultivate a greener Apple Inc. in an environmental section on the company’s website that debuted Monday. The site highlights the ways that the Cupertino, Calif., company is increasing its reliance on alternative power sources and sending less electronic junk to landfills. Apple had already been distributing gift cards at some of its 420 worldwide stores in exchange for iPhones and iPods still in good enough condition to be resold. Now, all of the com-

pany’s stores will recycle any Apple product at no charge. Gift cards won’t be handed out for recycled products deemed to have little or no resale value. The offer covers a wide array of electronics that aren’t supposed to be dumped in landfills because of the toxins in them. In the past seven years alone, Apple has sold more than 1 billion iPhones, iPods, iPads and Mac computers. The new initiative, timed to coincide with Tuesday’s annual celebration of Earth Day, strives to position Apple as an environmental steward amid the technological whirlwind of gadgets and Internet services that have been drawing more electricity from power plants that primarily run on natural gas and coal. Technology products and services accounted for about 2 percent of worldwide emissions in 2012, roughly the same as

the airline industry, according to statistics cited by environmental protection group Greenpeace in a report released earlier this month. Some of biggest electricity demands come from huge data centers that house the stacks of computers that process search requests, store photos and email and stream video. These online services, often dubbed “cloud computing,” collectively consume more electricity than all but five countries — China, the U.S., Japan, India and Russia. As the world’s largest technology company, Apple is trying to hatch more environmental solutions than problems. “What the company wants to do is use all our innovation and

all of our expertise to make the planet more secure and make the environment better,” Lisa Jackson, Apple’s vice president of environmental initiatives, said in a Monday interview. Jackson ran the Environmental Protection Agency under President Obama before joining Apple last June. Apple CEO Tim Cook underscored the commitment by narrating a 1 minute, 44 second video about the company’s efforts to protect the environment. “To us, better is a force of nature,” Cook says in the video. The campaign appears to be more than just public relations stunt, based on Greenpeace’s high praise for Apple in its recent review of the technology industry’s environmental responsibility.

What Others Say

Production not a priority for Obama administration More evidence came out Friday that

President Obama and his administration aren’t big fans of oil and natural gas development. It came in the form of an indefinite delay in a decision from the State Department regarding approval of the Keystone XL pipeline, which would allow oil from the tar sands in Alberta, Canada, to be delivered to Gulf Coast ports and would create numerous jobs in the U.S. The Keystone review process has gone on for more than five years. Even so, the State Department announcement said more time is needed for the review of comments and documents. People in oil-producing states such as Alaska have long been suspect of this administration, which through this latest action on Keystone shows it isn’t terribly interested in pressing hard on oil and gas development. Now there’s fresh data to back up that assessment. Friday’s Keystone announcement comes a week after the Congressional Research Service, a non-partisan agency of Congress, issued a report about oil and gas development on federal and non-federal lands. The report shows that the federal government is mostly a bystander these days when it comes to oil and gas development. Oil production from federal lands has fallen nearly 11 percent in recent years, from 33.8 percent of total domestic production in 2009 — the first year of the Obama administration — to 23 percent in 2013. The drop is significant and caused not by a sharp drop in production on federal lands but by a boom in activity on private or state lands. The actual number of barrels produced on federal land did fall, though only slightly, by about 110,000 barrels per day from the 1.77 million barrels daily in 2009. Why didn’t federal lands see a production increase like that on private and state lands? One clue comes from the permitting process, which the Congressional Research Service report says has grown lengthier in recent years but is showing some signs of improvement. Still, it doesn’t compare to what can occur at the state level with permitting for drilling on private land. The report notes “the relative ease of leasing from private parties.” Easing the federal permit process while safeguarding the environment is something that Congress needs to tackle and that the White House — not those now in it, most likely — should champion if the U.S. is to further strengthen its status as a leading oil and gas producer. The Keystone announcement, meanwhile, brought a cascade of criticism, especially from the U.S. Senate, where the denouncement of was bipartisan. Alaska’s two senators — Republican Lisa Murkowski and Democrat Mark Begich — each had biting words for President Obama. Sen. Murkowski, who is ranking Republican on the Energy and Natural Resources Committee: “The administration’s choice to delay indefinitely a decision on extending the Keystone XL pipeline is nothing short of a stunning act of political cowardice. .” Sen. Begich, who is up for re-election and is one of the keys to Democrats’ hopes of retaining control of the Senate: “I am frankly appalled at the continued foot-dragging by this administration on the Keystone project.” The Obama administration won’t be listening, however. And they won’t be paying attention to the Congressional Research Service’s oil and gas report either. “Hope and change”? That’s what candidate Obama pitched prior to the 2008 election. Yes, we do hope things change for oil and gas production on federal lands, here in Alaska and elsewhere. But it will fall to others to make it happen. — Fairbanks Daily News-Miner, April 20

Faith in government misplaced

One of the reasons our political structure has become dysfunctional no matter which party is in power is that too many of us are living in the moment. The closest we get to history is the instant replay. It is as if there is nothing the past can teach us; no wisdom that might be culled from those who have gone before. We buy guidebooks, or go online for information about countries or cities we plan to visit, trusting those who have been there to tell us the best places to stay, see and eat. When it comes to more momentous things, like health care, too many people believe government does best, regardless of historical and even contemporary evidence to the contrary. The well-known quote “That government is best which governs least,” often attributed to Henry David Thoreau, has been supplanted in our day by the notion that government is my keeper, I shall not want. All of the promises about health care “reform” are proving dubious at best. The move from insurance exchanges to single payer to the eventual takeover of the health care industry will happen incrementally, but inevitably, unless Republicans win back control of government and have the courage to repeal and replace Obamacare with something better. What should awaken apathetic Americans is a story in last week’s The New York Times headlined “Cost of Treatment May Influence Doctors.” The story said some of the country’s largest medical groups are now suggesting that physicians consider

Letters to the Editor Alaska must fight for equal treatment from feds I grew up during the civil rights movement. Imagine, people of color wanting equal rights and protection under rule of law. Well, Alaska has been battling for equal rights under rule of law for decades. Since 1866 all Lower 48 states were allowed to establish roads on federal land that had been historically used as roads or paths to transport goods and people. Along came Alaska in 1959 and became a state of the union. Our equal rights are a joke, much as they were/are a joke for people of color. So Alaska must use tax dollars to sue the federal government (in their courts) to force equal treatment under rule of law. Don’t hold your breath. The federal government occupies 70 percent of our land in Alaska and we are always treated like the ugly step child. Ray Southwell Nikiski

cost when treating patients. The Times says a subtle shift is taking place within medicine as “doctors are starting to redefine their roles, from being concerned exclusively about individual patients to Cal Thomas exerting influence on how health care dollars are spent.” In other words, are you “worth” being treated for cancer or other illnesses that can cost a lot of money? When government pressures health care providers to accept a utilitarian view of human life, it is a short step to government deciding whose life is worth living and whose is not. When the dollar becomes almighty, the Almighty who creates life takes a back seat. Promises that the misnamed Affordable Care Act would reduce costs are already being proved wrong. Health care spending is surging, according to another New York Times story. President Obama promised it would decline. We heard similar promises 50 years ago when Medicare was introduced. Politicians then promised costs would never exceed a certain level, which they did in very short order. Critics of Obamacare say one of its objectives is to put insurance companies out of business. The UnitedHealth Group is one of the nation’s largest. It recently re-

ported lower earnings and said the health care law is partially responsible. The “sound of inevitability,” to quote from the film “The Matrix,” can be heard across the Atlantic. The National Health Service (NHS) continues to sputter as its experiment in socialized medicine produces horror stories that could be replicated in the United States if government is ever allowed to control not only insurance, but treatment. A UK Daily Mail story tells of a greatgrandmother who died in agony at Manchester Royal Infirmary. She suffered from a perforated bowel and while she screamed in pain for help she was told a nearby doctor, who was playing on a computer, “wasn’t on duty.” Stories of neglect, long waits for treatment, insensitivity toward patients and unusual numbers of deaths in some UK hospitals are no longer exceptions, but are increasingly common. Why do so many have faith in government when government has a track record of failure and incompetence in the many tasks it undertakes? How can government be expected to miraculously acquire competence when it comes to health care? Real faith is based on something substantive, not false hope. Government is a false god that history proves can’t deliver on most of its promises.

Strikes on al-Qaida base kill 55 By AHMED AL-HAJ Associated Press

SANAA, Yemen — Yemeni forces, reportedly backed by U.S. drone strikes, hit al-Qaida militants for a second straight day Monday in what Yemen officials said was an assault on a major base of the terror group hidden in the remote southern mountains. The government said 55 militants were killed so far. The sprawling base was a rare instance of a permanent infrastructure set up by al-Qaida’s branch in the country, Yemeni security officials said. Built over the past months, it includes a training ground, storehouses for weapons and food and vehicles used by the group to launch attacks, they said, speaking on condition of anonymity because they were not authorized to release details to the press. The assault appeared to be a significant escalation in the U.S. and Yemeni campaign against al-Qaida in the Arabian Peninsula, the terror group’s powerful branch in the southern Arabian nation. The United States has been striking al-Qaida positions in the country heavily with drone strikes the past two years, trying to cripple the group after it was driven out of several southern cities it took over in 2011. But the group has proven highly resilient, spreading

around the country and working from mountain areas. In a show of the group’s boldness, a video recently posted on Islamic militant websites showed the group’s leader Nasser al-Wahishi meeting openly with a gathering of dozens of militants in the southern province of Abyan. The base is in a remote mountain valley called Wadi al-Khayala in the rugged Mahfad region at the border between Abyan, and the neighboring provinces of Shabwa, and al-Bayda. The first strikes came Sunday in an assault a high-level government security committee said was an attack on training grounds for the group. Yemeni Interior Ministry said it lasted for several hours. Yemeni officials and tribal leaders said new strikes, believed to include U.S. drone hits, came Monday. Another airstrike Saturday in al-Bayda killed at least nine militants. The ministry said in a statement Monday that the strikes the day before had killed at least 55 militants including three prominent figures. It identified the three as Mohammed Salem Abed Rabbo al-Mashibi, Fawaz Hussein al-Mahrak, Saleh Said Mahrak. It said identification of the dead was continuing, and that non-Yemeni Arab fighters were among those killed. It said the strikes hit in Wadi al-Khayala and two other locations, Lodiya

and Ramtha. Tribal leaders in the area said those are locations at either end of the valley. Yemen’s Supreme Security Committee, which includes the president, the defense and interior ministers and the head of intelligence, said Sunday the strikes targeted an important alQaida training camp that housed leading figures of the group. But it gave no further details. The security officials and local tribal leaders said Monday’s strikes killed several militants, including one they identified as a local commander, Munnaser al-Anbouri. It was unclear how many militants died. It was possible to identify him because militants delivered his body to his family, who lives in the area, the officials said. A tribal chief from the area said there were columns of smoke and flames of fire billowing from the location of the hideout Sunday, adding that the militants had been seen in the past parking their vehicles in bushes in the area. The tribal leader said he believed the fire was caused by the fuel tanks in the vehicles. In recent weeks, he said, the militants transported heavy weaponry to the area, including artillery. He and the other tribal leaders spoke on condition of anonymity for security reasons. One of the security officials

said the infrastructure for the base has been destroyed. He said the offensive on the camp was based on intelligence and “regional and international” cooperation, suggesting that neighboring Saudi Arabia may also have been involved in the planning. “But as you know, we have a very strong and collaborative relationship with the Yemeni government. We work closely together with them on various initiatives in the counterterrorism realm,” Army Col. Steve Warren said. The escalation came after the return from the U.S. of Yemeni Defense Minister Maj. Gen. Mohammed Nasser Ahmed and his commanders following a twoweek visit. Washington ramped up its fight against Yemen’s branch of al-Qaida after it carried out a strike of unsuccessful bomb plots targeting Americans, including an attempt to bring down a U.S.bound airliner with explosive hidden in the bomber’s underwear and a second plot to send mail bombs hidden in the toner cartridges on planes headed to the U.S. The group’s fighters overran several towns and cities in southern Yemen in 2011, taking advantage of the political chaos amid a popular uprising against then-President Ali Abdullah Saleh, who was later driven from power.

Affordable Care Act only chips away at goal By JUDY LIN Associated Press

SACRAMENTO, Calif. — Swan Lockett had high hopes that President Barack Obama’s health overhaul would lead her family to an affordable insurance plan, but that hasn’t happened. Instead, because lawmakers in her state refused to expand Medicaid, the 46-year-old mother of four from Texas uses home remedies or pays $75 to see a doctor when she has an asthma attack. “If I don’t have the money, I just let it go on its own,” Lockett said. The federal health care overhaul has provided coverage for millions of Americans, but it has only chipped away at one of its core goals: to sharply reduce the number of people without insurance. President Barack Obama announced last week that 8 million people have signed up for coverage through new insurance exchanges, but barriers persist blocking tens of millions of people around the nation from accessing health care. Questions of eligibility, immigrant coverage and the response from employers and state legislatures mean considerable work lies ahead for health care advocates and officials — but cost remains a particularly high hurdle for low income people who are most likely to be uninsured. “We think that most people will get insurance once it’s affordable to them,” said Cheryl Fish-Parcham, of Families USA, a health advocacy group. There are myriad ways people fall into coverage gaps. Some are eligible for discounted policies but say they still can’t afford their share of

exchange plans. Others earn too much for subsidies. Immigrants living in the country illegally can’t obtain care under the law. Dozens of states haven’t expanded Medicaid. And some employers have reduced staff hours to avoid being mandated to provide care. “I’m a nurse, but my employer doesn’t offer health insurance,” said Gwen Eliezer, 32, who lives north of Asheville, N.C. Eliezer works an average of 29 hours a week at a nursing home, so her employer isn’t required to cover her. She qualifies for a subsidy but says the plan she found with a $200 monthly premium and $6,500 deductible is too expensive. So while her 6-year-old son qualified for Medicaid during open enrollment, she goes without. She pays cash to see a doctor for gastrointestinal pain but says she can’t afford to get the problem diagnosed. “If I went through an emergency room, I can claim acute pain,” she said. “But then I’d end up with a lot of debt to a hospital.” Before the launch of the Affordable Care Act, about 48 million people, or 15 percent of the population, went without health insurance, according to the U.S. Census Bureau. The number of people recently enrolled includes those who switched from previous plans, and it’s not clear how many previously uninsured people are now covered. The share of adults without insurance shrank from 17.1 percent at the end of last year to 15.6 percent for the first three months of 2014, according to a Gallup-Healthways Well-Being Index released this month. The decline would translate to about 3.5 million people gaining coverage, ac-

cording to the study. Another study by RAND Corp. shows a larger number of adults gaining coverage. U.S. Department of Health and Human Services spokeswoman Erin Shields Britt said Monday that the law has brought greater security for millions of Americans but more work remains. In addition to 8 million people who signed up for private insurance through exchanges, Medicaid enrollment has increased by at least 3 million. “As we look to next year’s open enrollment, we will continue to target outreach efforts to encourage the uninsured to explore their coverage options and enroll in a plan that meets their needs and fits their budget,” Britt said. For hair salon owner Lola Smith of Palo Alto, in eastern Pennsylvania coal country, budget is her chief concern. She said she couldn’t afford a policy from the federal exchange. Instead, she bought a cut-rate plan for $148 a month that helps pay for hospitalizations and doctor visits. “It doesn’t cover very much. It’s just basic,” she said. The plan doesn’t qualify as health insurance under Affordable Care Act regulations, and Smith expects to be hit with a fine until she qualifies for Medicare next year. Immigrants living in the U.S. illegally are ineligible for coverage. The Migration Policy Institute estimates that more than 7.5 million people fall into this category and rely on emergency rooms and safety net clinics. About 1 million members of this population are from California. “When I see there are American citizens who don’t have access to health care because they can’t pay for it, I figure

that I’ll have even less of a chance to have access to health services,” said Jose Diaz, a 67-year-old day laborer in Pomona, Calif., who came to the U.S. illegally from Mexico City nearly a decade ago. “It’s very sad.” Nearly 5 million lowincome, childless adults are without health care, according to a December survey by Kaiser Family Foundation. A Medicaid expansion could help close that gap, and the federal government has offered to pay states nearly all of the costs for covering individuals who earn up to $16,000 a year, 138 percent of the federal poverty wage. However, 24 states have opted against it, saying they don’t trust the federal government to deliver on its promises and don’t want to be stuck with a program they can’t afford. Health advocates say getting those states to expand would reduce hospitalization and emergency costs across the system. “That affects all our pocketbooks, because we all pay for uncompensated care when people don’t have timely access to preventative care,” Fish-Parcham said. Texas is among the states to reject the expansion, and Lockett says she’s been shut out. The Houston woman earns too much for Medicaid or a subsidy but can’t afford a full plan. She earns $1,225 a month and takes her children — a 5-year-old daughter, 18-yearold twin boys and a 19-yearold son — to the emergency room or a clinic when they need care. “I was disappointed,” Lockett said, “because I was kind of excited about getting on the Affordable Care Act on the marketplace.”

Man dies after being shot at Federal Courthouse By ANNIE KNOX and BRADY McCOMBS Associated Press

SALT LAKE CITY — Defendant Siale Angilau was listening to a witness describe gang initiation rituals on Monday when authorities said he grabbed a pen, rushed toward the witness and lunged at him. A U.S. marshal opened fire on Angilau — a 25-year-old “Tongan Crip” gang member known on the street as “CDown” — shooting him several times in front of shocked jurors, lawyers and courtroom watchers. He died hours later. The shooting turned a new and secure federal courthouse that opened its doors just one

week ago into a site of terror and alarm. Nobody else was hurt, but those in the courtroom were stunned by the sudden turn of events. A mistrial was declared, with U.S. District Judge Tena Campbell saying in her order that jurors were visibly shaken and upset. “It was kind of traumatizing,” said Sara Jacobson, who was in the courtroom to support her grandmother who was scheduled to testify in Angilau’s trial. Her father, Perry Cardwell, was with her and said Angilau was shot at least six times as he attacked the witness, who collapsed to the ground. As he recounted the scene, Cardwell said he remembers hearing

somebody yell to get down. The witness, who was not injured, appeared to be in his mid-20s and was testifying about gang initiation, Cardwell said. The person was not identified. Angilau was shot in the chest and died at a hospital, the FBI said in a news release. Under standard procedures, Angilau was not restrained in the courtroom, the FBI said. He was shot after acting in “an aggressive and threatening manner,” the agency said. Angilau was one of 17 people named in a 29-count racketeering indictment filed in 2010 accusing gang members of assault, conspiracy, robbery and weapons offenses.

Prosecutors said Angilau and his fellow gang members robbed convenience stores and assaulted clerks in Salt Lake City on five occasions from 2002 to 2007. A clerk was shot in the final robbery, according to the indictment. Angilau was accused of assault on a federal officer with a weapon and discharging a firearm during a crime of violence on Aug. 11, 2007. Angilau was the last defendant in the case to stand trial, U.S. attorney’s office spokeswoman Melodie Rydalch said. Angilau’s attorney, Michael Langford, declined to take questions as he left the courthouse. C

Around the World Russia told it has ‘days, not weeks’ to abide by accord KIEV, Ukraine — Russia has “days, not weeks” to abide by an international accord aimed at stemming the crisis in Ukraine, the top U.S. diplomat in Kiev warned Monday as Vice President Joe Biden launched a high-profile show of support for the pro-Western Ukrainian government. Russia in turn accused authorities in Kiev of flagrantly violating the pact and declared their actions would not stand. Biden, the highest-ranking American official to visit Ukraine during its conflict with Russia, planned to meet with government officials in the capital of Kiev Tuesday. The vice president also planned to announce new technical support to help the fledgling government with energy and economic reforms. Biden’s trip comes days after the U.S., Russia, Ukraine and Europe signed an agreement in Geneva calling for Moscow to use its influence to get pro-Russian forces to leave the numerous government buildings they now occupy in cites throughout eastern Ukraine. The U.S. asserted on Monday that publicly available photographs from Twitter and other media show that some of the troops in eastern Ukraine are Russian special forces, and the U.S. said the photos support its case that Moscow is using its military to stir unrest in Ukraine. In Moscow, Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov rejected charges that Moscow was behind the troubles in eastern Ukraine and failing to live up to the Geneva agreement.

As the Army shrinks, some young officers who served multiple tours are being pushed out FORT BRAGG, N.C. — After the 9/11 attacks, tens of thousands of young men and women joined the military, heading for the rugged mountains of Afghanistan and dusty deserts of Iraq. Many of them now are officers in the Army with multiple combat deployments under their belts. But as the wars wind down and Pentagon budgets shrink, a lot of them are being told they have to leave. It’s painful and frustrating. In quiet conversations at Fort Bragg in North Carolina and Fort Eustis in Virginia, captains talk about their new worries after 15-month deployments in which they battled insurgents and saw roadside bombs kill and maim their comrades. They nervously wait as their fates rest in the hands of evaluation boards that may spend only a few minutes reading through service records before making decisions that could end careers. During the peak war years, the Army grew to about 570,000, as commanders worked to fill combat brigades and support units to fight in Iraq and Afghanistan. Thousands of newly minted officers came in during 2006-2008. Already down to about 522,000, the Army must shrink to 490,000 by October 2015, and then to 450,000 two years later. If automatic budget cuts resume, the Army will have to get down to 420,000 — a size service leaders say may not allow them to wage even one major, prolonged military campaign. - The Associated Press

trio explained common Driving Under the Influence-related traffic issues they’ve faced in their careers. KPC student Zach Moore donned a pair of goggles that recreated his response to a sobriety test as if he was slightly inebriated. Lifting one foot off the ground was in itself a challenge, he said. Simons’ pretended to place him under arrest after barely two steps forward. “They’re easy tasks,” Simons said. “They’re possible if you’re not impaired. Those tests aren’t set up for people to fail.” After Moore sat down, KPC student Joshua Hutton stepped up. Woodruff planted himself roughly seven feet from Moore. It was an easy catch, covering a short distance. Over and over Moore failed to grasp at the baseball-sized cushy ball Woodruff tossed him. By this time most students, including Moore, were laughing at every miss, but the implications of the experiment were clear. “I’m not driving drunk,” Hutton said after the presentation. “I am glad I don’t have a license.”

Steve Wendt, manager of the Nikiski facility, said being excluded from the bill is “disappointing.” Wendt said Agrium will continue to work with the state and look for opportunities to move toward reopening the facility. “We’ll work the project (regardless) and see where it comes out,” Wendt said. Wendt said the project not only has to be externally eco-

After receiving a collective “yes,” the troopers placed the goggles on students playing a Mario Cart video game, and proceeded to pull over and test anyone driving questionably. “I think I’m going to have to go again because this is too good,” Hutton said. Residence Life Coordinator Leslie Byrd said the drunk goggles presentation was so far the most attended of their “low key” events. Residents were also able to see the troopers as approachable people, Byrd said. The troopers are really good with the students, she said. The idea to set up the presentation came from Resident Advisor Kirsten McBride, whom Byrd calls “Super Trooper,” for her inclination toward working in law enforcement. Byrd said activities such as drunk goggles inspire inventiveness in the resident advisors. As the presentation was wrapping up, Byrd walked back into the multipurpose room, where students were still playing Mario Cart wearing the thick, inhibiting goggles. Many raced through the virtual track with ease. “OK, we keep making the nerds try (to play),” Byrd said. “Maybe that’s a bad idea.” nomically positive, it also has to compete against other projects within Agrium. “So incentives like this can benefit you in both those arenas,” he said. “So that’s why it was disappointing not to get it through because the company, even if it is an economically viable project, if there are better internal projects, then they’ll be the ones that are selected.” He said currently the project is scheduled to go before the board for approval at the end of the year or in early 2015. Working with that timeframe, the company would like to have details of the project, including any incentives from the state put together by September or October. “(Agrium was) an important part of our community,” Chenault said. “They still are and the potential is there. We’re going to continue working with them in every aspect that we can to try to bring about the restart of that facility.”

The Senate got a late start Monday afternoon, gaveling in about 1 ½ hours later than planned, and, with more than a dozen House bills on its calendar, got right into the education bill.

question. The Kenai Loop pad is on Land Trust property. The state groups want royalties and CIRI says it is owed a share of the production. Ethan Schutt, CIRI’s senior vice president of land and energy development said the wells are producing more than 8 million cubic feet of gas per day and the money from those wells is “disappearing.” A since-voided lease between CIRI and Buccaneer put compensation for gas at 20 percent, according to Schutt. “The status quo is unacceptable,” he said to the two-person commission.

. . . Indict Continued from page A-1

According to the affidavit, Kenai Police received multiple 911 calls reporting shots fired at about 7:10 p.m. in the parking lot. The suspect fled the scene in a red 2005 Ford Focus, but was located about 30 minutes later when she emerged from the woods outside a residence on Japonski Drive in Kenai. At the scene, police spoke to a passenger inside the vehicle being shot at, a 17-year-old juvenile. He told police the altercation started when Nelund approached him and the person

mittee were Reps. Mike Hawker, Lynn Gattis and Sam Kito III and Sens. Kevin Meyer, Mike Dunleavy and Lyman Hoffman. But senators debated the contentious issue of funding, rejecting a proposal by minority Democrats to raise the perstudent funding formula, called the base student allocation, by about $650 over three years to help districts avoid cuts and get on a more even keel. The Senate has supported a proposed $100 million in additional school aid outside the formula for each of the next three years. That would be on top of support for other initiatives and programs in the

bill, such as charter, residential and correspondence schools. Sen. Anna Fairclough, REagle River, said the discussion appears to be about money but is really about the best education the state can provide for students. She said the state needs to provide money but in a way that allows teachers to innovate. Sen. Berta Gardner, D-Anchorage, said it was “extremely short-sighted” for lawmakers to say they don’t like the results they’re seeing in the school system so they’re going to cut money. Senators also debated providing certain tax credits for contri-

butions to private nonprofit elementary and high schools. One of the major rubs between the House and Senate was funding. The House, in its rewrite of Gov. Sean Parnell’s education bill, HB278, increased the base student allocation by about $300 over three years, in addition to providing $30 million in one-time aid to be split among districts outside the formula. The bill also would raise the required local contribution level for schools, speaking to the idea of education funding being a shared responsibility with the state.

The issue has gone unresolved since last June it was first learned there could be a problem with the KL 1-4 well, the closest well to CIRI land, the Southcentral Alaska Native corporation says. CIRI commissioned a study of the wells while prepping for a hearing about a possible space exception for KL 1-4 last summer. That study revealed that gas being produced from KL 1-1 and 1-3 could be draining CIRI’s underground assets. Production from KL 1-4 has been on hold since the gas ownership dispute arose. Monday’s hearing was the third and final hearing on the issue. The first was held Jan. 30. In its brief filed for the January hearing, Buccaneer claimed that according to Alaska law pooling agreements are re-

quired only when at least two parties can claim ownership of the property with the producing wells; and the Land Trust Authority concurred in its brief. Department of Natural Resources Division of Oil and Gas Director Bill Barron said the allocation factors in the dispute are “interpretive.” Barron said the royalty stakeholders had been engaged in negotiations in recent months and were near an agreement until Buccaneer was made a party to the talks late in the week of April 18. There is a “high probability” the three groups interested in a royalty or production stake could reach an agreement, he said. Commissioner Foerster asked if Buccaneer was obligated to inform CIRI of the

possible drainage. Barron responded: “What precludes them” from notifying a possible affected party? Buccaneer’s Alaska vice president Mark Landt testified that the company is paying royalties to the Land Trust and that it is “indifferent” as to who gets royalty payments. He added that negotiations with Buccaneer as a participant were not dead in his view. State Assistant Attorney General Richard Todd testified that negotiations were indeed alive from the state’s view as well. Much of the testimony from DNR and all from Land Trust officials was closed to the public, as the business interests discussed were deemed confidential.

he was with about owing her money. The juvenile told police as they started to drive away, Nelund opened fire on the vehicle, according to the affidavit. Police located three shell casings from .380 auto pistol in the parking lot in the direction people reported seeing the woman matching Nelund’s description fire her gun, according to the report. Law enforcement found Nelund possessed the keys to the red Ford and they found a .380 auto pistol on the grass near the edge of the woods where she appeared. A Kenai Police records search indicated Nelund as the owner of the gun.

Nelund admitted to police that she fired three shots at the bumper of the vehicle with the intention of scaring the occupants. The driver of the vehicle was never located. Nelund is currently awaiting trial in a separate case after being indicted on felony drug charges stemming from an Oct. 30 incident. Last December she was indicted on second-degree and fourth-degree misconduct with a controlled substance for delivery and possession of heroin. Kenai Superior Court Judge Carl Bauman denied Nelund’s bail at a hearing on April 8. At the hearing, the father of the defendant, Craig Nelund,

who was being examined as a potential third party custodian, told the court, “I would probably not go to this trouble if she (was) not pregnant,” according to court records. Craig Nelund, who lives in Michigan, said in court the defendant is due in May. He said he was not pleased with his daughter’s behavior but he felt “compelled” to come help, mostly because of his “unborn grandbaby,” according to court records. Ashley Nelund is currently jailed at Wildwood Pretrial Facility. She is scheduled for an arraignment today in front of Judge Charles Huguelet at 2:30 p.m. at the Kenai Courthouse.

Grizzlies even series with Thunder By The Associated Press

OKLAHOMA CITY — Nothing rattled the Memphis Grizzlies. Not squandering a nine-point lead in the fourth quarter and a five-point lead in the final 19 seconds of regulation. Not Kevin Durant’s 20 points after the third quarter. Not even giving up an improbable game-tying putback that forced overtime. The Grizzlies remained steady and took care of business in the extra period. Zach Randolph scored 25 points to help Memphis defeat the Oklahoma City Thunder 111-105 in overtime on Monday night and tie their first-round playoff series at one game apiece. “It was just staying confident, understanding that those guys are going

to make runs,” Memphis forward Tony Allen said. “We’ve got to weather the storm by staying together and not getting down.” Mike Conley added 19 points and 12 assists for the Grizzlies, who executed their game plan perfectly and put themselves in position to take control of the series in Game 3 Thursday night in Memphis. Oklahoma City pushed the pace through most of its 100-86 victory in Game 1, but on Monday, the Grizzlies successfully slowed the tempo and limited Oklahoma City’s fast-break opportunities. “Basically it’s just going to be a slugfest,” said Allen, who was praised by his teammates for playing solid defense against Durant. “We’re going to pound it. They’re going to

run it. Whoever can come up with the most stops pretty much wins the game.” Oklahoma City’s stars put up big numbers, but they worked for everything they got. Durant had 36 points and 11 rebounds, but he made just 12 of 28 shots and had just eight points at halftime and 16 through the first three quarters. Russell Westbrook scored 29 points for Oklahoma City, but he made just 11 of 28 shots. Serge Ibaka added 15 points and 11 rebounds for the Thunder, who shot just under 40 percent from the field. “We missed some shots that we could make,” Oklahoma City coach Scott Brooks said. “Give them some credit. They did a good job of putting their hands on us and we didn’t free

ourselves up enough. I thought in the second half, our defense and offense gave us a chance. Unfortunately, we didn’t make a couple of key plays down the stretch.” Randolph’s layup with 26 seconds left in overtime put the Grizzlies up by two. Ibaka traveled, giving the ball back to the Grizzlies. Courtney Lee made two free throws for Memphis to make it a four-point game. Durant missed a 3-pointer and Randolph made two free throws with nine seconds left to put the game out of reach and give Memphis’ Dave Joerger his first playoff win as a head coach. “Tremendous game to be a part of,” Joerger said. “I honestly can tell you that, whether you win or lose. I

know that we won. But I thought it was a great game to be a part of. The game was never over. There was a lot of great plays and not just the-ball-going-in kind of plays - loose ball, passion, playoff basketball.” CLIPPERS 138, WARRIORS 98 LOS ANGELES — Blake Griffin scored a career playoff-high 35 points without a foul and the Clippers led all the way in routing the Warriors to even their first-round series at a game apiece. Chris Paul added 12 points and 10 assists for the Clippers, who started the game on a 14-4 run and kept on going, maintaining a sizeable double-digit lead through the final three quarters. They finished with a franchise record points for a playoff game.

Grand time Davis hits slams for 2 different teams in April

Knicks, T-Wolves, Jazz need to fill vacancies at top

By The Associated Press

PITTSBURGH — Ike Davis became the first player to hit grand slams for different teams in the same April, and Neil Walker had a winning run single with two outs in the ninth inning as the Pittsburgh Pirates twice overcame deficits to beat the Reds 6-5 Monday night. Pittsburgh trailed 2-0 before Davis’ fourth-inning homer off Mike Leake. Davis hit a gamewinning, ninth-inning slam off the Reds’ J.J. Hoover on April 5 for the New York Mets, who traded him to the Pirates on Friday. According to STATS, no player previously hit slams for different teams in the same April. Davis became just the third to hit slams for different teams against the same opponent in the same year, following Ray Boone in 1953 and Mike Piazza in 1998.

Meb Keflezighi, of San Diego, Calif., celebrates his victory in the 118th Boston Marathon on Monday in Boston.

Stronger than ever Keflezighi becomes 1st American man to win Boston in 31 years JIMMY GOLEN Associated Press

BOSTON — Some ran to honor the dead and wounded. Others were out to prove something to the world about their sport, the city or their country. And some wanted to prove something to themselves. With the names of the victims scrawled on their bodies or their race bibs, more than 32,000 people ran in the Boston Marathon on Monday in a powerful show of defiance a year after the deadly bombing. “We’re marathon runners. We know how to endure,” said Dennis Murray, a 62-year-old health care administrator from Atlanta who finished just before the explosions last year and came back to run again. “When they try to take our freedom and our democracy, we come back stronger.” The two pressure cooker bombs that went off near the end of the 26.2-mile course

last year killed three people and wounded more than 260 in a spectacle of torn limbs, acrid smoke and broken glass. But the city vowed to return even stronger, and the victory by Meb Keflezighi — the first American in 31 years to win the men’s race — helped deliver on that promise. On Twitter, President Barack Obama congratulated Keflezighi and Shalane Flanagan, the top American finisher among the women, “for making America proud!” “All of today’s runners showed the world the meaning of #BostonStrong,” Obama wrote. The race was held under extraordinary security, in-

cluding 100 new surveillance cameras, more than 90 bombsniffing dogs and officers posted on roofs. As runners continued to drag themselves across the finish line in the late afternoon, more than six hours into the race, state emergency officials reported no security threats other than some unattended bags. Kenya’s Rita Jeptoo won the women’s race in a courserecord 2 hours, 18 minutes, 57 seconds, defending the title she won last year but could not celebrate because of the tragedy. Keflezighi, who did not run last year because of an injury, won the main event this year in 2:08:37. A 38-year-old U.S. citizen who emigrated from Eritrea as a boy, Keflezighi wrote the names of the three dead on his bib along with that of the MIT police officer killed during the manhunt. As he was presented with the trophy and golden laurel wreath, “The Star-Spangled

Banner” echoed over Boylston Street, where the explosions rang out a year ago. “I came as a refugee, and the United States gave me hope,” said Keflezighi, who was welcomed by fans chanting “U.S.A.!” ‘’This is probably the most meaningful victory for an American, because of what happened last year.” At 2:49 p.m., the time of the first explosion, the crowd at the finish line observed a moment of silence — then broke into some of the loudest cheers of the day, with whooping, clapping and the clanging of cowbells. This year’s starting field of 32,408 included 600 people who were given special invitations for those who were “profoundly impacted” by the attacks, and almost 5,000 runners who were stopped on the course last year when the bombs went off. “Today, when I got to that point, I said, ‘I have to do some unfinished business,’” See RUN, Page A-8

Mike Woodson and Tyrone Corbin lost their jobs, and Rick Adelman decided it was time to walk away from his. Woodson and Corbin were fired Monday and Adelman retired, creating coaching openings for three NBA teams. Woodson was expected to be replaced after Phil Jackson was hired last month as New York Knicks president during a disappointing season for a team that expected to make the playoffs. He informed Woodson and the entire coaching staff they were being dismissed Monday morning. “The coaches and players on this team had an extremely difficult 2013-14 season, and blame should not be put on one individual. But the time has come for change throughout the franchise as we start the journey to assess and build this team for next season and beyond,” Jackson said in a statement. Woodson went 109-79 with the Knicks, a .580 winning percentage that ranks behind only Pat Riley and Jeff Van Gundy in franchise history. But after winning 54 games and the Atlantic Division title last season, the Knicks were just 37-45. The Jazz had no such expectations for this season after the departures of Al Jefferson and Paul Millsap, but declined to offer Corbin a new contract after they went 25-57. Corbin, a former Jazz player and assistant who replaced Jerry Sloan on Feb. 10, 2011, went 112-146. “This has not been an easy decision, but after a thorough review process, we as an organization feel that this is the best decision for our franchise moving forward,” general manager Dennis Lindsay said. Adelman won more than 1,000 games in 23 seasons, but the Minnesota Timberwolves were a disappointing 40-42 this season. He wanted to spend more time with wife Mary Kay, who has been treated for seizures over the last two years, and also thinks the Wolves need a fresh voice to help them try to persuade Kevin Love to remain in Minnesota.

Jonathan Toews scored in the first period and Marcus Kruger added an empty-netter as Chicago bounced back after a pair of overtime losses in St. Louis. Toews’ 21st postseason goal was only the second score by a Blackhawks forward in the series. Ryan Miller shook off another slow start and made 23 saves for St. Louis. Game 4 is Wednesday night.

The top-seeded Ducks won each of the first two games at home, both one-goal results. Game 4 is Wednesday night. Lehtonen, who held up through five Anaheim power plays, had a kick save near the end of one of those in the final minute of the first period. That came right before Benn came out of the penalty box and skated toward the other end for the winning goal.

Noah rules on defense LINCOLNSHIRE, Ill. — There were some emotional moments and some funny stories as Joakim Noah accepted the NBA’s Defensive Player of the Year award on Monday, like this one. The Chicago Bulls’ center recalled a grueling workout with coach Tom Thibodeau. “I told Thibs, ‘If we weren’t winning games, I would really, really hate you,’” he said. “And he said, ‘Trust me, Jo, I feel the same way about you.’” Noah laughed. So did Thibodeau. With their drive and desire, those two are in many ways a perfect match. And when it came to this year’s award, it was no contest. Noah got 100 of a possible 125 first-place votes from a panel of sportswriters and broadcasters and wound up with 555 points. Indiana’s Roy Hibbert (166 points, eight first-place votes) and the Los Angeles Clippers’ DeAndre Jordan (121 points, eight first-place votes) came in second and third, respectively.

Seahawks get Pryor ALAMEDA, Calif. — The Oakland Raiders have traded away the final player drafted by late owner Al Davis. Oakland dealt quarterback Terrelle Pryor to the Seattle Seahawks on Monday for a seventh-round pick in next month’s draft. The Raiders fulfilled Pryor’s wish to be traded a day before the start of their offseason program. Pryor had asked to be dealt after the season when he lost his starting job to undrafted rookie Matt McGloin, and the Raiders made the move after acquiring Matt Schaub from Houston to be the starter. Pryor said on Twitter: “Thank you Mr Davis and Raidernation for the unbelievable support!! I will miss the Fans and all of the teammates I have met over the years with the Raiders organization!!”

Dan Uggla led off with a single up the middle off Arquimedes Caminero (0-1), and Gattis followed with a shot into the left-field seats for his fifth homer of the season — and first career walkoff homer.

said runner Vicki Schmidt, 52, of Nashville. She added: “You can’t hold us back. You can’t get us down. Boston is magical. This is our place.” Some of the victims themselves returned for a ceremonial crossing of the finish line. “It was hard. It was really hard,” said Heather Abbott, who wore a “Boston Strong” sticker on the black prosthesis where her left leg used to be. “I was really nervous. I didn’t want to fall. ... I’m just glad we made it.” Tatyana McFadden, who was 6 and sickly when she

was adopted out of a Russian orphanage by an American, won the women’s wheelchair race for the second straight year. Afterward, she spoke of Martin Richard, the 8-year-old boy who was the youngest of those killed in the explosions. “I have a Russian heritage, but I am an American,” McFadden said. “For today, not only was I running for Martin and his family, but all those other people that were affected by last year.” Dzhokhar Tsarnaev, 20, is awaiting trial in the attack and could get the death penalty. Prosecutors said he and his older brother — ethnic Chechens who came to the U.S. from Russia more than a decade ago — carried out the attack in retaliation for U.S.

Don’t meddle in office affair unless it interferes with work She’s constantly worried about national and international politics, global warming, the economy, health care, crime, etc. She neglects herself and her family. She seems agitated, anxious and depressed by all the news. Is this a disease? How can I help her get off this habit? What should I do? — MISERABLE IN Abigail Van Buren MINNESOTA DEAR MISERABLE: Your girlfriend appears to have become a news junkie. She’s overstimulated and hooked on the adrenaline rush she gets from channel surfing from one tragedy, outrage and horror to the next. While this may not technically be a disease, it IS exhausting and depressing. When the same thing started happening to me, I fixed it by turning off the news and going “cold DEAR ABBY: My girlfriend watches the 24-hour turkey.” After a four-day news blackout, I felt like news channels and seems to be obsessed with them. It my buoyant self again. Now I ration my exposure. is hurting our relationship and affecting her happiness. Please share this with your girlfriend because it’s

DEAR ABBY: I manage a group of 15 employees. A few months ago, I hired the wife of an old friend. Until now she has been a great employee, but recently she and a male co-worker have been taking lunches and breaks together in a way that leads me to believe they are flirting or have already crossed the line. Because we have a small group, I worry about how this will affect my team, who know that she’s married. I also feel bad for the husband, who is a very caring and kind man. As a manager, I don’t think I can say anything unless their liaison interferes with their work performance. But I hate to watch this progress and see people end up hurt. What can I do? — MANAGEMENT DECISION DEAR MANAGEMENT: Unless the flirtation becomes a distraction for “the team,” you should stay out of it. Much as you might like to intervene, your friend’s wife and this co-worker are adults and responsible for their own behavior.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) HHHH Try not to get so triggered by certain people. You often might find yourself feeling angry at someone or wanting to change a situation. Creativity is a gift, but its strength lies in its application. Think twice before moving in a new direction. Tonight: Wherever there is music. CANCER (June 21-July 22) HHHH Dealing with a money matter could take you in a totally new direction. Your sixth sense will come through for you once more. What you find irritating about a close family member could be a trait that you possess. Avoid making snap judgments. Tonight: Visit over dinner. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) HHHH Your intuition might tell you to let someone else have his or her way.You are always such a dominant force that others tend to feel passive or less valued around you. Let this person have the experience of you trusting and valuing him or her. Tonight: Go along with a suggestion. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) HHHH Honor what is happening between you and someone else, but head in your own direction. You do enjoy working with others, but you also appreciate your space when it comes down to pursuing a heartfelt project. Tonight: Get your errands done. Squeeze in some gym time. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) HHHH Where you might get easily irritated, you will have the choice of moving in a new direction. Your short fuse could be related to a past situation that reminds you of the present one. Take some time to figure out your feelings. Tonight: Add more lightness to your life.

what I’m recommending for her. DEAR ABBY: At a wedding, while shaking hands with a friend, I accidentally bumped another friend’s wine glass, staining his $180 shirt. The stain is a small one, on the lower portion and not very noticeable. Now the man insists I pay for the shirt. Is there an etiquette rule on this issue? I feel bad, but not bad enough that I think I should pay for such an expensive shirt. If you have the means to pay for a shirt that expensive, I don’t believe you should expect others to replace it. — CHRIS IN DENVER DEAR CHRIS: Good manners dictate that you offer to pay for having the shirt cleaned. A good dry cleaner may be able to remove the stain, but it should be done as soon as possible. Anytime a person has a stained garment, it should be taken to a professional and what caused the stain identified so it can be removed. Trying to treat it yourself can make removal more difficult. If the stain is permanent, then you should pay to replace the shirt. Ask yourself what’s more important — 180 bucks or your friendship?

Hints from Heloise

Jacqueline Bigar’s Stars HAPPY BIRTHDAY for Tuesday, April 22, 2014: This year, when you slow down and relax, you often wonder whether you should do what you want to do or what you think you should do. It is only you who sees the choice as either/or — both choices could co-exist if you were open. If you are single, you will meet people with ease. You’ll enjoy dating, but your obligations often will push you in a different direction. If you are attached, the two of you will find that you want to participate in different activities or get into unrelated interests. This diversity does not take away from your closeness; instead, it allows greater trust and independence. Being together 24/7 does not necessarily indicate a strong bond. AQUARIUS makes a good friend.

BAGGING BROKEN GLASS Dear Heloise: I read the hint about DISPOSING OF BROKEN GLASS and realized that I have a hint I could share: I buy lots of pet food and save the empty bags (making sure there are no lingering pieces of kibble, then folding and storing in a kitchen cabinet). When there is an accident, I sweep up the broken glass and pour it directly from the dustpan into a pet-food bag, roll it shut and secure it with a bit of tape. Because of the wide mouth, it all pours in, and the multithickness of the bag prevents cuts. — Pam Z. in Texas A cleanup and recycle hint all in one! What could be better? Thanks for writing. — Heloise RECYCLE BULBS Dear Readers: Recently, a column about compact fluorescent lamps (CFLs) explained how to clean up after one breaks. However, many of you wrote regarding how to dispose of the burned-out ones. * Lyman and Rachel A. in Louisiana wrote: “Perhaps you should remind folks that burned-out bulbs cannot be put into regular household garbage or recycling, as they are considered hazardous materials. CFLs may be recycled at community hazmat recycling events. Also, big-box hardware stores offer recycling for bulbs of all shapes and sizes.” * Jennifer M. in California wrote: “The CFL (broken or not) ... needs to go to a hazardous-material collection site. And while the readers are at it, they can take their batteries, old paint and chemicals there also.” Both good hints! — Heloise

Vets turn to prosthetics to help pets By SUE MANNING Associated Press

LOS ANGELES — A 9-month-old boxer pup named Duncan barreled down a beach in Oregon, running full tilt on soft sand into YouTube history and showing more than 4 million viewers that he can revel in a good romp despite lacking back legs. “It’s a heartwarming, wonderful thing to see,” said Dr. Bonnie Beaver, a professor at Texas A&M University’s College of Veterinary Medicine and executive director of the American College of Veterinary Behaviorists. “These animals generally look to us as if they are very happy. We don’t know that they are, but they are excited and jumping around and doing things that are wonderful to watch.” But dogs aren’t made to stand, and they are putting unwanted pressure on their joints and probably shortening their lives, Beaver said. Duncan’s owners say they are “keeping a vigilant eye” on the animal who balked at a doggie wheelchair and can’t use prosthetics. “Vertical postures are not normal for four-legged creatures,” Beaver said. “The use of a prosthetic can give that animal a more normal life.” More veterinarians are using wheelchairs, orthotics and prosthetics to improve the lives of dogs that have lost limbs to deformity, infection or accident, experts say. The move is driven by persistent pet owners who embrace their animals as family and aren’t deterred by the cost and commitment of outfitting disabled dogs with the devices. At the same

time, there have been great strides in technology to keep up with U.S. soldiers returning wounded from war, and veterinarians have adapted the materials and know-how for the rising demand from clients. “There are so many things we can do to solve mechanical problems. ... If you have broken parts, we can replace them,” said Martin Kaufmann, co-owner of Veterinary Orthotics and Prosthetics in Denver, also

known as OrthoPets, which helps about 2,000 animals a year. Most devices range from $150 to $2,000 but can cost more, Kaufmann said. Besides commercial manufacturers, there are likely thousands of backyard builders who have created carts, slings or other devices to help their pets get around. The number of pets using artificial limbs will never be huge, Beaver said. It takes a dedicated person willing to take the prosthetic on and off, clean it and teach the animal to use it. It will likely mean a lifestyle choice for pet owners. With the time and cost required, many wonder why people spend time on disabled animals when there are so many healthy dogs and cats awaiting homes. The answer, Beaver said, is “some people want to.” There have been successes even in challenging cases, Kaufmann said. Orthopets helped mixed-breed puppy Naki’o after his four legs and tail were frozen in ice. What frostbite didn’t do, a surgeon did, amputating all four legs. Then, Kaufmann outfitted him with four prosthetics. “To see Naki’o at the beginning, he was protective and guarded,” he said. “Six months after all this was done, he was just a fun-loving guy who likes to socialize.” Now, Naki’o lives with the Nebraska couple that found him. Another dog teaches kids what it means to be different. The Labrador-golden retriever mix named Pirelli was destined to be a service dog at Canine Assistants, a training school in Atlanta, but one back paw never developed.
