Ordinance would adjust assembly district boundaries By KAYLEE OSOWSKI Peninsula Clarion

Some Kenai Peninsula Borough residents may find themselves in different assembly districts, if a proposed ordinance passes. Ordinance 2014-14, which will be introduced at Tuesday’s assembly meeting, looks to revise borough assembly and board of education district boundaries to more closely align with the new precinct boundaries. In July 2013, the Alaska Redistricting Board set new boundaries for Alaska House and Senate districts. The Division of Elections finalized the precinct boundaries to comply with the House and Senate districts in February 2014. The proposed ordinance

FAIRBANKS (AP) — A joint memorial service for two Alaska State Troopers killed in the line of duty has been scheduled for this weekend. Alaska State Troopers say in a release that the service for Sgt. Patrick “Scott” Johnson and Trooper Gabriel “Gabe” Rich will be held at 4 p.m., Saturday, in Fairbanks. The public has been invited to the memorial at the Carlson Center, but the event is being closed to the media at the request of the families. State flags will be lowered from Friday to Sunday to honor the two men. Nathanial Lee Kangas of Tanana has been charged with two counts of first-degree murder. Authorities say in charging documents that he shot the men seven times with an assault rifle as the troopers struggled with Kangas’ father last Thursday.

would eliminate some of the discrepancies between precinct and assembly boundaries, which would get rid of the need for multiple ballots in those precincts. Changes are proposed to the boundaries of districts 1, 4, 5, 6, 7 and 9. Assembly President Hal Smalley, at the request of borough clerk Johni Blankenship, is sponsoring the ordinance. Blankenship said the changes will solve some of the assembly and board of education district splits, but it won’t affect service area board divisions. She said when the Division of Elections redrew its precinct lines, a few of the borough districts were off by a little bit. Those mismatched See LINES, page A-6

A wildfire that grew to 12 acres near Caribou Lake over the weekend took the full resources of the Division of Forestry before being contained Sunday night. Darren Finley, fire prevention officer for the Division of Forestry said the fire, which started Friday four miles southwest of Caribou Lake, was human-caused and is under investigation. Caribou Lake is on the south-

ern Kenai Peninsula, about 25 miles northeast of Homer. The location of the fire made access difficult, so aerial support was called in to transport the Pioneer Peak Hot Shots, a crew of 20 highly trained firefighters from Palmer and helicopters dumped water on the fire, Finley said. The area is being monitored to make sure no hot spots remain and doesn’t restart. “We pulled all our resources off the fire at the end of their shift (Sunday) night,” he said. See FIRE, page A-6

Flight opens Fairbanks drone test site By ELWOOD BREHMER Morris News Service-Alaska/Alaska Journal of Commerce

A small and unassuming unmanned aircraft made a short flight Monday in Fairbanks that signified a big step in aviation, Federal Aviation Administration chief Michael Huerta said. The quad-rotor Aeryon Scout’s flight of less than five minutes at the University of Alaska Fairbanks Large Animal Research Station officially made the Alaska Center for Unmanned Aircraft Systems Integration the second operational unmanned aircraft systems, or UAS, test site in the country. “Alaska is positioned to make great contributions to our

research of unmanned aircraft,” Huerta said from Anchorage. The FAA recently approved a two-year certificate of authorization, or COA, for the Unmanned Aircraft Center for Scout flights at the research station. In late December, the center’s Pan-Pacific UAS Test Range Complex, which also includes sites in Oregon and Hawaii, was sanctioned by the FAA as one of six UAS testing grounds across the country. “This is absolutely a special day for our program and for our people who have worked so hard to make this happen — make it a reality,” center director Marty Rogers said in Fairbanks. “We have and have had for a long time a very active and

science and research unmanned aircraft program with over a decade of successful flight operations across Alaska, the Lower 48, and internationally, but this, the very first flight at any of the UAS test sites is groundbreaking for us because it is a visible and tangible event that moves us collectively one step closer to safe integration of unmanned aircraft into our national airspace.” The test sites are the result of a 2012 congressional mandate to the FAA to develop operating procedures to meld UAS and traditional aviation by 2015. Rogers said the center would Photo courtesy University of Alaska Fairbanks work with UAF scientists to determine the feasibility of using This photo shows a small quad-rotor unmanned aircraft system. the Scout and other UAS to do A Monday test flight marked the official opening of the Alaska See DRONE, page A-6 Center for Unmanned Aircraft Systems Integration test site.

Senate candidates weigh in on same-sex marriage By BECKY BOHRER Associated Press

JUNEAU — In the lead-up to this year’s elections, The Associated Press plans to publish an occasional list featuring the positions of the highest-profile Alaska U.S. Senate candidates on different issues. All the campaigns contacted — Democratic U.S. Sen. Mark Begich and Republicans Joe Miller, Dan Sullivan and Mead Treadwell — agreed to participate. The subject this time is same-sex marriage.

Over the last year, federal courts around the country have struck down state constitutional bans on same-sex marriage, similar to the ban that is in place in Alaska. Appeals are pending in a number of those cases, and Alaska’s attorney general has said he will continue to defend the state’s constitution. A proposed constitutional amendment to strike Alaska’s ban on same-sex marriage, submitted by Senate Minority Leader Hollis French, D-Anchorage, didn’t go anywhere during the last legislative session.

These questions were posed to the campaigns via email: — Alaska voters in 1998 defined marriage as between one man and one woman. That vote was a snapshot in time, attitudes have changed since then and the state’s population continually changes. Given that, should the state of Alaska put this issue again to the vote of the people rather than wait for a decision from the court? Why or why not? — Is same-sex marriage a states’ right issue? Why or why not? — Do you personally beC

lieve same-sex marriage should be legalized? Why or why not? — What factors, if any, have influenced your thinking on this issue over the last 15 years? — Sen. Mark Begich, firstterm incumbent: “Alaskans are tired of government trying to peer into their personal lives and keep track of everything from who they call, to what they spend money on and who they love. That’s not the government’s business and Alaskans are right to be fed up with government intrusion in our everyday lives. “I do not support discrimina-

tion of any kind. No matter who you love, everyone should have the same legal rights and privileges. Courts across the country are reaffirming this right and Alaskans should work together to end discrimination as we have done in the past. Values like respecting our neighbors and supporting one another shouldn’t disappear on issues as personal and important as marriage. “Our laws should represent the collective respect and dignity Alaskans display towards one another every day.” See SENATE, page A-6

Tribal fishing activist dies at age 83 By GENE JOHNSON Associated Press

SEATTLE — Billy Frank Jr., a tribal fisherman who led the “fish wars” that restored fishing rights and helped preserve a way of life for American Indians in the Northwest four decades ago, died Monday at 83. The Northwest Indian Fisheries Commission and the Nisqually Tribe near Olympia, Washington, confirmed his death. The cause was not immediately known. Frank was arrested more than 50 times for “illegal fishing” between boyhood and middle age, during what came to be known as the fish wars. Initially driven to fish at night and hide his canoe to avoid authorities who regarded them as poachers, he and others took their fight public in the 1960s, inviting observers to witness their sometimes violent arrests. Patterned after the sit-ins of the civil rights movement, the campaign was part of larger, nationwide movement for American Indian rights, including better schooling, free speech and legal protections. “He was a selfless leader who dedicated his life to the long fight for the rights of our state’s native people,” Gov. Jay Inslee said in a written statement. “Billy was a champion of tribal rights, of the salmon, and the environment. He did that even when it meant putting himself in physical dan-

ger or facing jail.” The tribes had fished Northwest waters from time immemorial, and treaties promised them access to their “usual and accustomed” fishing grounds in exchange for ceding land to the white settlers in the 1850s. But Washington state imposed restrictions on fishing last century as dams, logging runoff, pollution and overfishing cut into once abundant salmon runs. The tribes, many of which had their own fishing regulations, objected to the state imposing its will — especially when some 95 percent of fish harvested in Washington waters were caught by non-Indian fishermen. Demonstrations staged across the Northwest attracted national attention, and the fishing-rights cause was taken up by celebri-

ties such as the actor Marlon Brando, who was arrested with others in 1964 for illegal fishing from an Indian canoe on the nearby Puyallup River. Frank, from a family of fishermen in the Nisqually Tribe, was first arrested for salmon fishing in 1945, at age 14 — an event that helped lead him on his long campaign for tribal rights. He and others were repeatedly arrested as they staged “fish-ins”

demanding the right to fish in their historical waters. “We ceded all this land to the United States for a contract to protect our salmon, our way of life, our culture,” Frank told The Associated Press in 2012. “We’re gatherers and we’re harvesters. And they forgot about us. They built their cities, they built their university. They built everything, and they forgot about us tribes.” The efforts were vindicated in 1974, when U.S. District Judge George Boldt affirmed the 20 tribes’ right to half of the fish harvest — and the nation’s obligation to honor the old treaties. At the time, non-Indian fishermen dominated the commercial fishing industry, leaving less than 5 percent of the catch for the tribes. The ruling, upheld by the U.S. Supreme Court in 1979, effectively made the Northwest tribes co-managers of the resource and laid the foundation for the Northwest Indian Fisheries Commission — a coalition of salmon-treaty tribes of which Frank served as chairman.

UAS sets record for Native graduates By KATIE MORITZ Morris News Service-Alaska Juneau Empire

Peninsula Clarion death notice and obituary guidelines:

A-3

For most college students, a book bag holds everything needed to make it through the day. For Nae Brown, a diaper bag was also necessary. Brown is one of 57 Alaska Natives who graduated from a UAS campus this year — a group that set a record as the largest the university has ever seen. But while she earned her degree in Alaska Native languages and studies, she also balanced other important parts of her life: the birth of her daughter, Adeia, in 2012 and her marriage in 2013. She said she was too busy to pause and realize how full her life had become. “It was all pretty hectic,” she said. “It’s hard to fathom how I was doing it.” But, after five years of being a student, Brown was presented with her degree Sunday. “It’s very surreal; it’s hard to imagine how it’s happening,” she said. She said she was supported through her years as a student and mother by her parents, sister and husband, who all attended Sunday’s graduation celebrations at the univer-

sity. It also helped that Adeia was a particularly good baby, Brown said. “She slept and I studied and I got through that semester,” she said of her first months with her daughter. Adeia, dressed in a tutu, accompanied her mother to the stage at the annual Alaska Native Graduation Celebration in UAS’ Egan Library, where Brown was honored as a future Alaska Native teacher. She earned her bachelor’s degree with the goal of earning a master’s in teaching. She said she wants to teach “anybody who wants to learn” about Native culture and language. Brown is one of three graduates who received UAS’ first degrees in Alaska Native languages and studies this year. Tlingit elder Marie Olson said she could hardly believe what she was seeing as she looked out over the 18 Native graduates and their friends and families that filled the library. “I have never heard or seen so many Alaska Natives graduate and I have been on campus since 1972,” she said. “I never thought I would be able to address a group of people in my language... That’s history. That’s something I never

thought would happen.” UAS’ Alaska Native languages and studies program has taken off over the past four years, UAS Chancellor John Pugh said, going from just a few interested students to a full-fledged degree, with credit mostly due to an engaged student body who fought for the classes. Vice Chancellor Joe Nelson asked everyone in the audience to keep the group of Native alumni growing — recruit young Native people to attend UAS. He said the new residence hall is aimed at attracting and keeping more students, including Native students. “Help us fill that building with a bunch of Native 18-yearolds,” he said. UAS also broke records this year with the size of its graduating class. More than 680 students from the Juneau, Ketchikan and Sitka campuses graduated with 787 degrees this year, up from 557 graduates in 2013. About 110 graduates and their families and friends packed the UAS Student Recreation Center to walk the stage and get their hands on their diplomas. They also listened to a commencement address by Dave Hunsaker, a playwright, novelist and musician. He told

his story of coming to Alaska, and reminded graduates to never forget this place, no matter where they end up. “There is nothing passive about Alaska,” he said. “All of us in this room have chosen this place for this moment... No matter where you go... keep and cherish your identity as an Alaskan, however you define it.”

What Others Say

The killing of State Troopers in Tanana wounds us all Anger and heartache.

Those are the words that quickly come to mind upon hearing of the killing of two Alaska State Troopers who had responded to an incident in Tanana. Sgt. Patrick “Scott” Johnson, 45, and Trooper Gabriel “Gabe” Rich, 26, were part of the Rural Services Unit and based out of the troopers’ Fairbanks office. They became the 16th and 17th troopers killed in the line of duty. Much remains to be learned about the events that occurred in Tanana. We know that one person, a 20-year-old male, has been charged with the killings and that a 58-year-old man also has been arrested. Both are from Tanana, and we will likely be learning a lot more about them in the days and weeks ahead. A stream of anger may cascade onto the accused men. It is to be expected. But we must rely on our judicial system to satisfy it, if ever it can be satisfied once the facts are known. Today, let us think of Sgt. Johnson and Trooper Rich, not of those involved in the events of last week. We know that these two officers of the law gave selflessly, like troopers across the state and like their brethren in other agencies do every day, in an effort to assist Alaskans and to keep the peace. The task is especially difficult for troopers, who have the vast landscape and unique situations of the Last Frontier to contend with. We know that both men had strong Fairbanks connections. Sgt. Johnson was born in Fairbanks, graduated from Tok School and spent all of his 20-year trooper career in Fairbanks. His name and photograph has appeared in the Daily News-Miner several times over the years, but not always in stories about crimes. He was featured prominently in 2005 as a handler and certified instructor for the trooper canines, which were truly his loves. Sgt. Johnson and his trooper dog partner, Comco, an 80-pound German shepherd, began working together in Fairbanks in October 1995, right after Comco’s graduation from the eight-week Patrol Canine Academy. Comco was at his handler’s side all the time and retired to the Johnsons’ home in 2002. “We had a very strong bond, being together 24/7,” he said in a story in 2005. “Comco always kept me in sight and everywhere we went, he’d go. I only left him once and couldn’t stop thinking about him. I had a miserable time.” Trooper Rich moved with his family to Fairbanks shortly after his birth and graduated in 2006 from Lathrop High School. We know he was a solid hockey player at Lathrop, that he served four years in patrol with the North Pole Police Department before becoming a trooper in 2011, and that he worked as a patrol trooper out of Fairbanks for most of his brief time with the agency. We know this is a difficult time — beyond difficult — for the Alaska State Troopers and for the families of Sgt. Johnson and Trooper Rich, two men killed while protecting others and serving Alaska. Today, leave anger behind. Have only heartache. — Fairbanks Daily News-Miner, May 4

Opinion

CLARION P

By GARRY TRUDEAU

Where has all the money gone?

Most people, perhaps even the superwealthy, who are usually accountable to auditors, want to know where their money goes. This is especially true when they detect money for which they can’t account. Not so with the federal government. Some recent headlines reflect a disturbing pattern that has contributed to our $17 trillion debt and to a growing cynicism among the public, which increasingly regards government in a negative light. Here are just a few recent gems gleaned from reading newspaper stories and wire service reports: “Pentagon to destroy $1 billion in ammunition.” This USA Today story says, “It is impossible to know what portion of the arsenal slated for destruction ... remains viable because the Defense Department’s inventory systems can’t share data effectively, according to a Government Accountability Office report...” So in addition to nonfeasance add incompetence. The New York Times reports on a modest medical office in Brooklyn that received $4.1 million in Medicare funds for “therapy.” The Times says the money went to one person. Maybe the government needs therapy. Taxpayers certainly do. A personal favorite, again from USA Today: “IRS workers who didn’t pay taxes get bonuses.” Then there’s this from the Washington Post: “Navy to award contract for Marine One helicopter fleet in shadow of previous failure.” Why let failure get in the way of

a government program? “$6 billion goes missing at State Department,” reports the Fiscal Times. I’m constantly misplacing billions, aren’t you? Again the Fiscal Cal Thomas Times: “Government Blatantly Wastes $30 Billion This Year.” The key word is “blatantly.” Just in time for this year’s university commencement exercises we learn, courtesy of The Wall Street Journal: “Government programs to reduce (student loan) defaults are encouraging more debt.” Citizens Against Government Waste (CAGW) this week releases its 2014 “Pig Book” listing some of the outrageous spending by the federal government. The book focuses mostly on “pork,” those earmarks added to a bill after the normal budget process. Earmarks have been outlawed since fiscal 2011, but members of Congress always seem to find ways around the many laws they pass. This year’s Pig Book has found earmarks attached to the 12 appropriations bills that fund the federal government. One paragraph from the introduction reveals the lengths to which some members of Congress will go to circumvent the law in pursuit of their own political interests:

“The 2012 Pig Book noted that although there were fewer earmarks than in prior years, the projects involved larger amounts of money and included fewer details. This is also true in 2014. For instance, a $25 million earmark for the National Predisaster Mitigation Fund appearing in the FY 2014 Department of Homeland Security (DHS) Appropriations Act corresponds to 58 earmarks totaling $24.6 million for the same program in the FY 2010 DHS bill. The 2010 earmarks appeared in the ‘Congressionally Directed Spending’ section at the end of the bill, which contained the names of the members of Congress requesting each project and its location, as required by the pertinent transparency rules. “This is in stark contrast to the FY 2014 earmark, which contains no such information.” When committing a crime, some criminals try not to leave fingerprints at the scene. Congress engages in criminality on a higher plain by not leaving “fingerprints” on their earmarks. Who will hold them accountable? Apparently not enough voters, too many of whom appear indifferent, or deliberately ignorant of it all. To paraphrase the old Peter, Paul and Mary song: where has all the money gone? Long time passing. Gone to earmarks and down a sinkhole. When will we ever learn? Readers may email Cal Thomas at tcaeditors@tribune.com.

Supporters, opponents jockey on Keystone vote By MATTHEW DALY Associated Press

AP News Extra

WASHINGTON — Supporters and opponents of the long-delayed Keystone XL oil pipeline jockeyed for position ahead of an expected Senate vote on legislation authorizing immediate construction of the project. An oil industry group that supports the pipeline launched a five-state ad campaign aimed at wavering senators, while an environmental group mobilized activists to urge lawmakers to vote against any attempt to force President Barack Obama to decide the pipeline’s fate. The lobbying by outside groups came as Democrats and Republicans bickered over whether to allow a vote on a bipartisan bill to end years of delay and build the proposed pipeline from Canada to the United States. Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid has said he is open to a stand-alone vote on a pipeline bill, although some Republicans said the vote should occur as an amendment to energy efficiency legislation that could reach the Senate floor as soon as Tuesday. Republican senators have prepared a host of amendments to the efficiency bill, including one that would block the Environmental Protection Agency from imposing rules limiting greenhouse gas emissions from coal-fired power plants. Lawmakers from both parties also support a measure to speed approval of terminals to export liquefied natural gas, another complication as Reid and other Democratic leaders consider when and how to allow a vote on the energy efficiency bill. Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell, R-Ky., said it was important to include Keystone and other issues in the bipartisan energy efficiency bill, which is sponsored by Democrat Jeanne Shaheen of C

New Hampshire and Republican Rob Portman of Ohio. “We should be having a debate about how to develop policies that can actually lead to lower utility bills for squeezed families, put people back to work America’s coal country ... and lead to a more effective use of North American energy supplies,” McConnell said on the Senate floor, noting that the Senate has not approved a comprehensive energy bill since 2007. Meanwhile, the American Petroleum Institute, the oil industry’s top lobbying group, announced it has begun TV, radio and online ads promoting the pipeline in five states: Colorado, Delaware, Minnesota, New Mexico and South Dakota. The ads urge senators in those states— including at least three Democrats who are publicly undecided on the Keystone bill — to approve the Keystone XL pipeline. Democratic Sens. Mark Udall and Michael Bennet of Colorado and Tom Carper of Delaware are undecided on the Keystone bill, which was introduced last week by Sens. John Hoeven, R-N.D., Mary Landrieu, D-La. Landrieu and Hoeven said the legislation has the support of 11 Democrats and all 45 of the Senate’s Republicans, a total of 56 of the 60 that will be needed. Sen. Bob Casey, D-Pa., also is expected to support the bill. While pipeline supporters were taking out ads, an environmental group was organizing a blitz of Democratic senators by email, telephone and in-person protests. About 150 people turned up at Casey’s Philadelphia office on Monday, and a smaller number went to Carper’s office in Wilmington, said Jason Kowalski, policy director for 350.org. an environmental group that opposes the pipeline.

Demonstrators are expected Tuesday at the Denver offices of Udall and Bennet. Pipeline supporters “are advertising on TV, while we are out on the streets,” Kowalski said. The proposed pipeline would carry oil from western Canada to Nebraska, where it eventually would reach Gulf Coast refineries. Supporters say it would create thousands of jobs and help the U.S. move closer to a goal of energy independence. Opponents say the project would create few permanent jobs and reinforce the nation’s use of an energy source that worsens global warming.

Polio is world health emergency

Around the World Authorities probe acrobats’ fall during hairhanging stunt at Ringling Bros. circus; 11 hurt PROVIDENCE, R.I. — Authorities are trying to determine what caused a support frame to collapse during an aerial hair-hanging stunt during a circus performance, sending eight acrobats crashing to the ground. Nine performers were seriously injured during Sunday’s performance by Ringling Bros. and Barnum and Bailey Circus at the Dunkin’ Donuts Center in Providence, including a dancer below. Several others suffered less serious injuries. The accident was reported about 45 minutes into the circus’ 11 a.m. Legends show. It was witnessed by an audience of about 3,900, many of them children. Stephen Payne, a spokesman for Feld Entertainment, the parent company of Ringling Bros., said the accident happened during an act in which eight performers hang “like a human chandelier” using their hair. He said the metal-frame apparatus from which the performers were hanging came free from the metal truss to which it was connected. The eight women fell 25 to 40 feet, landing on the dancer below.

Greek authorities say 2 dead, 30 missing after migrant ships sink in Aegean Sea ATHENS, Greece — Greek authorities say at least two people have drowned and another 30 are missing after two boats crammed with immigrants trying to illegally enter the country sank in the eastern Aegean Sea. A coast guard said in a statement the vessels foundered off the island of Samos near the Turkish coast before dawn Monday. It said 36 people were rescued from the sea. A cruise ship, coast guard vessels, fishing boats and two search and rescue helicopters are combing the area for more survivors. The nationalities of the migrants are unknown. Greece is a major entry point for people from poor or wartorn parts of Asia and Africa seeking a better life in the European Union. Fatal accidents are frequent as migrants risk the dangerous sea crossing from Turkey.

Vatican undergoes 2nd grilling this year on global priest abuse scandal

A-5

GENEVA — In its second grilling at the United Nations this year, the Vatican on Monday sought to limit its responsibility for the global priest sex abuse scandal by undercutting arguments it has violated an international treaty against torture and inhuman treatment. The Vatican delegation’s appearance in Geneva is the first time that the committee that oversees the U.N. Convention Against Torture, which the Vatican ratified in 2002, has hauled the Holy See before its members. Archbishop Silvano Tomasi, the Vatican’s U.N. ambassador in Geneva, lost no time asserting that its responsibility for enforcing the U.N. treaty against torture only applies within the confines of the tiny Vatican City, which has fewer than 1,000 inhabitants in an area less than half a square-kilometer in size, making it the smallest country in the world. “The Holy See intends to focus exclusively on Vatican City state,” he told the committee. “State authorities are obligated to protect and when necessary to prosecute persons under their jurisdiction.” Committee member Felice Gaer’s first question was to ask why the Vatican’s first report to the committee — the subject of the hearing this week — came nine years late. Gaer, an American human rights expert, then took aim at the church’s “alleged distinction” between Vatican City and the Holy See.

Syria’s famed Crac des Chevaliers preserved Crusader castle, damaged by war HOSN, Syria — The Crac des Chevaliers once held off a siege by the Muslim warrior Saladin some 900 years ago, but today bears the wounds of modern warfare: heavy artillery damaged its walls, an airstrike punctured its roof and shrapnel tore through its religious artifacts. From its towering hilltop perch in western Syria, the world’s best preserved medieval Crusader castle has fallen victim to the chaos of Syria’s civil war as rebels fight to topple President Bashar Assad. The damage done to the majestic stone structure, listed as a UNESCO World Heritage site, shows that the warring sides will stop at nothing, including the destruction of the country’s rich heritage, to hold on to power or territory. Journalists from The Associated Press reconstructed the battle for Crac des Chevaliers after talking to Syrian soldiers and local residents during a rare trip by Western media to the castle since its capture by government troops in March. They talked of residents of Hosn and rebels using the castle walls as a last refuge, much like the Crusaders before them. The Crac des Chevaliers, some 40 kilometers (25 miles) west of Homs and just north of the Lebanese border, caught the eye of a young T.E. Lawrence before he became Lawrence of Arabia. Lawrence lauded its beauty and called it one of the world’s greatest castles. It dominates the surrounding valley and terraced hills below and once was one of the crown jewels of Syrian tourism before its 3-year-old conflict began. It is like many of the country’s most significant historical sites, caught in the crossfire in a conflict that activists say has killed more than 150,000 people. Some sites have been turned into military bases. Shelling has smashed historic mosques, churches and markets. Looters have stolen artifacts from excavations and museums.

Reprimand of soldier caught in clash with Palestinians triggers outcry from other troops JERUSALEM — The reprimand of an Israeli soldier — who was caught on video cursing and pointing a cocked gun toward the head of a Palestinian teen — has triggered the biggest outpouring of frustration by Israeli soldiers in years about their service in the West Bank. Thousands posted messages of support on social media for the infantry soldier after the army said he apparently violated norms of behavior during a shoving match in Hebron, where several hundred radical Israeli settlers guarded by soldiers live in daily friction with tens of thousands of Palestinians. The protest campaign appeared largely aimed at the army’s perceived failure to back the soldier, rather than any moral judgments about Israel’s 47-year military occupation of the West Bank.

LONDON — For the first time ever, the World Health Organization on Monday declared the spread of polio an international public health emergency that could grow in the next few months and unravel the nearly three-decade effort to eradicate the crippling disease. The agency described current polio outbreaks across at least 10 countries in Asia, Africa and the Middle East as an “extraordinary event” that required a coordinated international response. It identified Pakistan, Syria and Cameroon as having allowed the virus to spread beyond their borders, and recommended that those three governments require citizens to obtain a certificate proving they have been vaccinated for polio before traveling abroad. “Until it is eradicated, polio will continue to spread internationally, find and paralyze susceptible kids,” Dr. Bruce Aylward, who leads WHO’s polio efforts, said during a press briefing. Critics, however, questioned whether Monday’s announcement would make much of a difference, given the limits faced by governments confronting not only polio but armed insurrection and widespread poverty. “What happens when you continue whipping a horse to go ever faster, no matter how rapidly he is already running?” said Dr. Donald A. Henderson, who led the WHO’s initiative to get rid of smallpox, the only human disease ever to have been eradicated. The WHO has never before

‘Until it is eradicated, polio will continue to spread internationally, find and paralyze susceptible kids.’ — Dr. Bruce Aylward, World Health Organization issued an international alert on polio, a disease that usually strikes children under 5 and is most often spread through infected water. There is no specific cure, but several vaccines exist. Experts are particularly concerned that polio is re-emerging in countries previously free of the disease, such as Syria, Somalia and Iraq, where civil war or unrest now complicates efforts to contain the virus. It is happening during the traditionally low season for the spread of polio, leaving experts worried that cases could spike as the weather becomes warmer and wetter in the coming months across the northern hemisphere. The vast majority of new cases are in Pakistan, a country which an independent monitoring board set up by the WHO has called “a powder keg that could ignite widespread polio transmission.” Dozens of polio workers have been killed over the last two years in Pakistan, where militants accuse them of spying for the U.S. government. Those suspicions stem at least partly from the disclosure that the CIA used a Pakistani doctor to uncover Osama bin Laden’s hideout by trying to get blood samples from his family under the guise of a hepatitis vaccination program. U.S. commandos killed the al-Qaida leader in May 2011 in the Pakistani gar-

rison town of Abbottabad. At the end of last month, there were 68 confirmed polio cases worldwide, compared with just 24 at the same time last year. In 2013, polio reappeared in Syria, sparking fears the civil war there could ignite a wider outbreak as refugees flee to other countries across the region. The virus has also been identified in the sewage system in Israel, the West Bank and Gaza, although no cases have been spotted. In February, the WHO found that polio had also returned to Iraq, where it spread from neighboring Syria. It is also circulating in Afghanistan (where it spread from Pakistan) and Equatorial Guinea (from neighboring Cameroon) as well as Nigeria, Ethiopia, Somalia and Kenya. Officials also worry countries torn by conflict, such as Ukraine, Sudan and the Central African Republic, are rife for polio reinfection. Some critics say it may even be time to accept that polio may not be eradicated, since the deadline to wipe out the disease has already been missed several times. The ongoing effort costs about $1 billion a year. “For the past two years, problems have steadily, and now rapidly mounted,” Henderson said in an email. “It is becoming apparent that there are too

many problems (for the polio eradication effort) to overcome, however many resources are assigned.” Henderson and others have suggested the extraordinary efforts needed for polio eradication might be better spent on other health programs, including routine vaccination programs for childhood diseases. But he conceded that transitioning to a control program would be difficult. “If not eradication, how does one accomplish a ‘soft landing’ which could sustain the global program on immunization?” Henderson said. Aylward said the WHO and its partners, including the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, aren’t yet considering pushing back their latest deadline to eradicate polio by 2018. CDC Director Dr. Tom Frieden said the reemergence and spread of polio out of Pakistan, Cameroon and Syria pose “a serious threat to our ability to eradicate polio.” “Conflicts in many areas where polio is circulating are hampering efforts to vaccinate but success remains within reach,” Frieden said. Still, the independent board monitoring the progress being made on polio has called for overhauling the program. “Few involved in (polio eradication) can give a clear account of how decisions are made,” concluded a recent report by the group. “If a billiondollar global business missed its major goal several times, it would be inconceivable that it would not revisit and revise its organizational and decisionmaking structure.”

Ukraine sends elite force to Odessa By RADUL RADOVANOVIC and YURAS KARMANAU Associated Press

ODESSA, Ukraine — Ukraine sent an elite national guard unit to its southern port of Odessa, desperate to halt a spread of the fighting between government troops and a proRussia militia in the east that killed combatants on both sides Monday. The government in Kiev intensified its attempts to bring both regions back under its control, but seemed particularly alarmed by the bloodshed in Odessa. It had been largely peaceful until Friday, when clashes killed 46 people, many of them in a government building that was set on fire. The loss of Odessa in addition to a swath of industrial eastern Ukraine would be catastrophic for the interim government in Kiev, leaving the country cut off from the Black Sea. Ukraine already lost a significant part of its coastline in March, when its Crimean Peninsula was annexed by Russia. Compared with eastern Ukraine, Odessa is a wealthy city with an educated and ethnically diverse population of more than 1 million. Jews still make up 12 percent of the population of the city, which once had a large Jewish community. “The people of Odessa are well-educated and understand perfectly well that Russia is sowing the seeds of civil war and destabilization in Ukraine,” said Vladimir Kureichik, a 52-year-old literature teacher who left Crimea after it became part of Russia. The White House said it was “extremely concerned” by the violence in southern Ukraine. “The events in Odessa dramatically underscore the need for an immediate de-escalation of tensions in Ukraine,” said spokesman Jay Carney. He suggested Russia still must follow through with its part of a diplomatic deal aimed at defusing the tensions. In eastern Ukraine, gunfire and multiple explosions rang out in and around Slovyansk, a city of 125,000 in the Russianspeaking heartland that has become the focus of the armed insurgency against the government in Kiev. The Russian Foreign Min-

istry put the blame squarely on Kiev, which “stubbornly continues to wage war against the people of its own country.” The ministry urged what it called the “Kiev organizers of the terror” to pull back the troops and hold peaceful negotiations to resolve the crisis. Ukrainian Interior Minister Arsen Avakov said in a statement that government troops were battling about 800 proRussia forces, which were deploying large-caliber weapons and mortars. His ministry reported four officers killed and 30 wounded in the fighting. The pro-Russia militia said

at least eight people, both militiamen and local residents, were killed. A spokesman with the militia said that out of 10 people admitted to a hospital in Slovyansk with gunshot wounds, three later died. Five more were killed in fighting in the village of Semenivka. Both sides indicated fighting was taking place at several sites. An Associated Press crew saw at least four ambulances rushing wounded to a hospital in Slovyansk and one militiaman being carried in for treatment. This nation of 46 million is facing its worst crisis in de-

cades after its Moscow-leaning president, whose base was in the east, fled to Russia in February following months of street protests. Those eastern regions are now at odds with Ukraine’s western and central areas, which seek closer ties with Europe and largely back the government in Kiev. The West has offered billions of dollars in loans to help Kiev stave off economic collapse. Prime Minister Arseniy Yatsenyuk said Ukraine expects to receive more than $5 billion in May, according to a government statement Monday.

If the ordinance passes, Kasilof, Fox River, Kalifornsky Beach and Soldotna will no longer have assembly and

I am running to bring decision-making home, and in this case, the voters of Alaska have made a decision it is their choice to make. I personally support traditional marriage. I have sworn an oath to defend our state’s constitution. I believe it is within our right as a state to make that determination, as the national Constitution reserved powers to the states.” —Do you personally believe same-sex marriage should be legalized? Why or why not?: “I support traditional marriage as it is now in our state Constitution. I believe marriage is a sacrament of the church, and while we can have a debate in Alaska about our choices, or whether we want government involved at all, our national government has no role in defining or in administering marriage.” — What factors, if any, have influenced your thinking on this issue over the last 15 years?: “In my mind I see an increasing number of people looking to national government to change our culture. We need to look instead to government to protect our liberties. Religious freedom is one liberty which is too easily trampled on by government. I respect the fact there are strong religious beliefs on this issue. I am influenced by my own faith. Already, business people are being sued or people are being subjected to boycotts or personnel actions for holding to or stating their religious beliefs on this issue, and that’s wrong.”

— Joe Miller, Republican nominee in the 2010 U.S. Senate race won with a writein campaign by Sen. Lisa Murkowski: “The definition of marriage as between one man and one woman comes down to us through the millennia. Alaskans have overwhelmingly endorsed this general concept by adopting a constitutional amendment affirming traditional marriage. “I support this and believe the People of Alaska are the best decision-makers on the issue, not unelected judges or the federal government. But the People’s decision is under threat by an activist judiciary. When I sat on the bench at both the state and federal levels, I knew my duty was to follow the law, not create it. Regrettably, that’s not the perspective of increasing numbers of unethical judges who insist on imposing their elitist views on the People. The courts have no business defining marriage, and should stop meddling outside their Constitutional jurisdiction. “Despite the protests of judicial activists, no other states, like Massachusetts, should have the right to force Alaska to recognize their same-sex marriages. The Tenth Amendment of the Bill of Rights reserves the right to define marriage to the individual states, not the federal government. “Those supporting the traditional family have come under increasingly vicious attacks over the last 15 years.

Finley said the No. 1 cause of wildfires on the Kenai Peninsula is from people burning debris or a campfire with an unsafe platform. Having a clear space free of vegetation around the fire will decrease the chance of it spreading. The Division of Forestry responded to three incidents of illegal burns over the weekend where people were burning trash without a permit. Finley said burning trash is not a good idea. He said people should follow the burn permit requirements. The AccuWeather forecast calls for clouds and possible rain showers for the next three days in the Soldotna and Kenai area.

Kenai Central soccer sweeps Skyview By JEFF HELMINIAK Peninsula Clarion

The visiting Kenai Central soccer teams swept Skyview on Monday. In the girls game, the Kardinals shook off the trouble scoring that had dogged them in a 1-0 loss to Grace Christian on Saturday. The Kards topped the Panthers 11-1 to move to 3-2 overall and 1-0 in the Southern Division of the Northern Lights Conference. Skyview dropped to 0-4. Allie Ostrander led the way for Kenai with three goals and two assists, while Taylor Sheldon had two goals and two assists, and Cassie Holmes and Lara Creighton each had two goals. Also for the Kardinals, Sarah Every had a goal and an assist, Hannah Drury had a goal, and Kylie Morse, Jacey Ross and Ashleigh Bodolski had assists. The Kardinals started earning op-

portunities right away in the first half, but Kenai coach Dan Verkuilen still was not thrilled with the way his team was attacking. “We passed up a lot of opportunities moving the ball around a lot,” Verkuilen said. “Sometimes a quick shot is the best thing.” Although Kenai struck four times in the first half, Skyview goalie Mandee Lawson was able to make 10 saves. “She made a lot of saves,” Skyview coach David Carpenter said. “You’re going to give up some goals when you face that many shots. “The nice thing about it is she asked to stay in in the second half even though she was facing so many shots. Sometimes, that can be tough on the ego.” In the second half, Verkuilen told his team to put crosses higher in the air and to start shooting from farther out. It worked as the Kards scored seven times and Lawson was able to save

four shots on net. Creighton and Sheldon both scored on headers off crosses in the second half. Plus, Holmes got two of her goals from outside the box, while Drury also struck from deep. “It’s like the 3-point shot in basketball,” Verkuilen said. “You have to prove you can do it before they’ll come out on you. Once they come out on you, it opens up things in the middle.” Verkuilen was missing three starters due to injury or illness. He was happy with the way his young players filled in for the starters. Skyview’s lone goal came in the 52nd minute. Right after the Kards scored, Ciarra Mahan booted the kickoff from the center circle down the side to Taylor Wilson. Wilson beat a defender and launched a shot on Kenai keeper Alli Steinbeck, who made three saves in the game. Steinbeck made the first save, but Wilson pounded home the rebound.

“Taylor finally getting a goal was nice,” Carpenter said. “She needs to get her confidence going a bit. Her and Ciarra are starting to work together and learn where each other is at.” Carpenter also liked what he saw out of freshman Becca Gamble. He said she showed a lot of potential on defense and in the midfield. Kenai boys 5, Skyview 0 TJ Wagoner had a hat trick and Wren Norwood recorded the shutout as the Kards moved to 3-1-1 overall and 1-0 in the Southern Division. The Panthers dropped to 0-4 overall and 0-1 in the Southern Division. Both Kenai coach John Morton and Jake Eveland agreed the Kards had the better soccer team, but in the first 20 minutes of the game it didn’t look like it. “We didn’t come out playing all that well and they came out ready to go,” said Morton, who also received

goals from Nolan Scarlett and Nathan Narlock. “I guess it’s common for a game where the underdog is playing at home. “They were winning most of the 50-50 balls in the first 20 minutes or so.” Eveland was proud of his team for putting up a fight. “We were in their half and frustrating them,” he said. “I think they had it marked down as an easy win. “They were just a better team, when it comes down to it. We had a good game plan but they had better players. They made good passes and good runs. They are a good team.” The coach said defender Sterling Stasak and midfielder Austin Craig both did a good job fighting until the end. Wednesday, Skyview hosts Ketchikan, with the girls at 4 p.m. and boys at 6 p.m. Friday, Kenai hosts Seward, with girls at 4 p.m. and boys at 6 p.m.

Clippers rout Thunder By The Associated Press

OKLAHOMA CITY — Chris Paul and the Los Angeles Clippers showed what they can do when their minds are on basketball. Paul made a career-high eight 3-pointers and scored 32 points to help the Clippers beat the Oklahoma City Thunder 122-105 Monday night in Game 1 of their Western Conference semifinal. The Clippers acknowledged that the racial comments by owner Donald Sterling that got him permanently banned from the league were a distraction during their first-round series against Golden State. Once they put the initial shock behind them, they beat the Warriors and carried their momentum into Game 1 against the Thunder. Los Angeles shot 55 percent from the field and made 15 of 29 3-point attempts. Paul, who had never made more than five 3-pointers in a game, also had 10 assists. “When somebody’s got it going like that, you just try to stay out of the way as much as possible, but also help keep that fire going,” Clippers forward Blake Griffin said. Though Paul is a career 36 percent 3-point shooter, he

He made 8 of 9 for the night. “I came over here early and got in a lot of shots, so I think that had a lot to do with it, too,” Paul said. Oklahoma City didn’t anticipate Paul taking on the scoring load for Los Angeles, but he took advantage of good screens and knocked down the shots. The Thunder felt they defended him relatively well. “I thought on a lot of those 3s, especially early in the game, we had a hand in his face and a hand in his shots,” Thunder guard Thabo Sefolosha said. “So we did a decent job, but those shots went in and that boosted their whole team.” Griffin scored 23 points, Jamal Crawford had 17 and J.J. Redick added 12 for the Clippers. Russell Westbrook scored 29 points, Kevin Durant had 25 and Serge Ibaka added 12 for the Thunder, who suffered their worst home loss since moving to Oklahoma City. “We have to get more physical,” Durant said. “I’m not talking about hard fouls, I’m talking about jamming the lane, fighting through screens and

not letting guys run free. We just have to be more physical.” Game 2 is Wednesday night in Oklahoma City. “We just understand that we don’t go into Game 2 with a 17-point lead,” Paul said. “You know, you’ve just got to come back and be hungry and not be satisfied with one.” WIZARDS 102, PACERS 96 INDIANAPOLIS — Bradley Beal scored 14 of his 25 points in the fourth quarter and Trevor Ariza added 22 to lead Washington past top-seeded Indiana in Game 1 of the Eastern Conference semifinals.

Kings take 2-0 lead on Ducks By The Associated Press

ANAHEIM, Calif. — Jonathan Quick made 36 saves, Marian Gaborik scored his third goal in two games, and the Los Angeles Kings beat the Anaheim Ducks 3-1 Monday night to take a 2-0 lead in their second-round series. Alec Martinez also scored for the Kings, who opened their first playoff series against their local rivals with two victories at a road arena packed with their own fans. Dwight King added an empty-net goal for Los Angeles, which has won six straight postseason games and is halfway to its third straight trip to the Western Conference finals. Patrick Maroon scored a power-play goal and Jonas Hiller stopped 14 shots for the Ducks, who couldn’t crack the Kings’ NHL-best defense despite controlling play for long stretches. Game 3 is Thursday at Staples Center. Postseason scoring leader Anze Kopitar had another assist for the Kings, who followed up their overtime victory in the opening game of the first postseason Freeway Faceoff with

a methodical defensive performance against the high-flying Ducks. Los Angeles managed just nine shots in the final two periods, but Quick comfortably sat on a one-goal lead for more than 46 scoreless minutes until King’s empty-netter. PENGUINS 2, RANGERS 0 NEW YORK — Pittsburgh captain Sidney Crosby scored his first goal of these playoffs, and Marc-Andre Fleury earned his second shutout of the Rangers in two nights. Crosby snapped a 13-game goal drought in the playoffs to give the Penguins the lead in the second period, and Jussi Jokinen added a breakaway goal. Fleury stopped 35 shots to back up his 22-save effort Sunday in a 3-0 win in Pittsburgh. He has eight career postseason shutouts and 51 wins. The Penguins, who lost the opener in overtime, lead the Eastern Conference semifinal series 2-1. Game 4 is Wednesday in New York. Henrik Lundqvist made 13 saves for the weary Rangers, who played for the fifth time in seven days. They have consecutive losses in these playoffs for the first time.

Woods slowly heals PONTE VEDRA BEACH, Fla. (AP) — Tiger Woods described his recovery from back surgery as a “very slow process” that offered him no timetable on when he can return for a summer filled with big championships. Woods already missed the Masters, choosing to have microdiscectomy surgery March 31 to relieve pain from a pinched nerve. In a wide-ranging blog on his website Monday, Woods said he is still sore from the incision and his only contact with golf clubs is a few putts and chips that do not require him to rotate his back. He said tests showed no arthritic changes, which he attributed to being in good shape and strong in his legs and abdomen. “I made the decision to have surgery because physically I just couldn’t make a golf swing,” Woods wrote. “The pretty much sums it up.” Though he is uncertain when he can even start hitting halfshots, Woods made it sound as though he would not be ready for the U.S. Open on June 1215 at Pinehurst No. 2, the major championship course where he has the most experience. “As I’ve said several times, I hope to be back sometime this summer, but I just don’t know when,” Woods said. The one nonmajor that is important to him is the Quicken Loans National at Congressional, with a new title sponsor stepping in at a tournament that benefits his foundation. “Whether I’m able to play or not, I’m going to be there to support it,” Woods said. That tournament is two weeks after the U.S. Open and three weeks before the British Open. C

Gift packaging promises more than it can deliver DEAR ABBY: I recently went in on a gift with my friend “Ali” for our other friend, “Gena.” Ali offered to purchase and wrap the gift, a nice wallet from an inexpensive store. Imagine my surprise when Ali turned up at Gena’s birthday party with the wallet elaborately wrapped in expensive designer paper. At first, I thought she had spent more of her money and upgraded our gift, but when Gena unwrapped the designer packaging to reveal the original wallet we had selected, I was taken aback. It turned out that Ali had reused the wrapping paper from a gift her husband had given her, disguising our present as something it wasn’t. Gena was clearly disappointed. Other guests who had been eyeing it looked excited at first, then confused. I felt our gift wasn’t appreciated and we ended up looking cheap. I was at a loss for words. What would have been the appropriate way to handle the situation? Is this normal gift-wrapping practice, or did Ali cross the line? — FLABBERGASTED IN FLORIDA DEAR FLABBERGASTED: Reusing wrapping paper isn’t unusual. Gena’s reaction to the gift was inappropriate. Instead of letting her disappointment show, Gena should have smiled and graciously thanked you and Ali for her gift. (Remember the

phrase, “It’s the thought that counts”?) As for you, all you needed to say was “Happy Birthday!” DEAR ABBY: With Mother’s Day nearly upon us, would you remind your readers that stepmothers are worthy of recognition, too? If one has any regard for the feelings of his or her stepmom, PLEASE make her day Abigail Van Buren by calling or visiting her and telling her how much she means to you. And I don’t mean a phone call at 9 p.m. I married my husband when his sons were in their late teens. Every Mother’s Day for 14 years I have been reminded that his sons choose not to recognize me, even though our relationships are very good. (One of them is a stepfather himself.) It’s a real heartbreaker, believe me. — GIVING UP ON WAITING IN OREGON DEAR GIVING UP ON WAITING: If you think you are the only stepmother who feels unappreciated on Mother’s Day, think again. I have heard from

many stepmothers who have written letters that are variations on this theme. There can be reasons for it — the fact that you didn’t raise them, fear that it would be somehow disloyal to their birth mother, unresolved relationship issues or just being preoccupied. If you haven’t discussed this with your stepsons, perhaps you should. Or better yet, your husband should. But if that doesn’t solve the problem, for your own sake, stop brooding about it and direct your attention elsewhere.

carefully. Tonight: Head home. GEMINI (May 21-June 20) HHHH You have a way and style about you that attracts many admirers who care a lot about you. You also could be driven to accomplish a lot more than you ever thought possible. You might be more in the mood to socialize than to work. Tonight: Go out and enjoy yourself. CANCER (June 21-July 22) HHH Be sensitive to your fiscal concerns, and know where you are heading with a personal matter. Understand more of what you need to get done. Relate to a child or loved one you care about more directly. In fact, take some extra time off to be with this person. Tonight: Anchored in. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) HHHHHYou’ll beam in much more of what you desire. Remain sure of yourself, and know that you don’t need to justify your actions. You might feel energized and ready to take on another project. Remain receptive and forthcoming, even with a difficult person. Tonight: All smiles. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) HH Stay centered and direct in how you deal with others. The less said, the better off you will be. Others will notice that you are unusually quiet. In a few days, you will have a totally different impression. Deal with a loved one directly. Tonight: Not to be found. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) HHHHYouhavealotgoingforyou.Your immediate circle of friends could be larger than you realize. Keep in mind that your pals understand you very well.

Hints from Heloise

Jacqueline Bigar’s Stars A baby born today has a Sun in Taurus and a Moon in Leo. HAPPY BIRTHDAY for Tuesday, May 6, 2014: This year you will evolve to a new level. Be willing to state your boundaries, and be ready to assert them. Others might test this newfound clarity. Many people surround you and want to be involved in your life. The issue will be that you are only one person, and there are only so many hours in the day. If you are single, you could be overwhelmed at times with so many choices of potential suitors. Date until you’re absolutely sure that you are in the type of relationship you desire. If you are attached, maintain a strong bond with your sweetie. By late summer, you might want to move or remodel your home, as the two of you will be interested in making it more of a “nest.” LEO loves hanging out with you. The Stars Show the Kind of Day You’ll Have: 5-Dynamic; 4-Positive; 3-Average; 2-So-so; 1-Difficult ARIES (March 21-April 19) HHHH Be direct in your dealings, as you know what to do and how to do it.

Bathroom rugs take a ride Dear Heloise: I have an idea that came from one of your readers’ hints. Your reader used cheap, rubber-backed bathroom rugs as floor mats in her car. I had been researching some sort of removable car-seat covers for my SUV because my dog is with me daily, as are my children and their multiple friends. The covers that I found are not easily removed, and nobody wants to sit where the dirty dog has been lounging. When I saw that hint, I figured that I’d give them a try on top of the seats. This has worked perfectly. As you know, dogs aren’t at all dainty when they enter a vehicle. These bath rugs stay in place beautifully, are puncture-resistant, comfortable for the dog and easily removed and placed on the floor when children are in the vehicle. Best part? You can pop them in the washing machine at any time! To make the rubber backing last longer, I air-dry them. — Genny F. in Virginia Multitasking Dear Readers: Here’s a hint for when you are getting ready for the day: After putting on your makeup, take a moment to clean one or two items in your makeup drawer or bathroom cabinet. I use a microfiber cloth, dampened with a little water, to wipe off eye shadow, foundation or other items from the drawer. Cleaning a few things as you use them means you don’t have such a big cleanup session to do later on. — Heloise P.S.: Take this time to check expiration dates on your makeup, and determine which items are running out or need to be replaced on your next trip to the store.

Bird tries to fly away with pet dog CASHMERE, Wash. (AP) — The owners of a small dog suspect an eagle or other large bird attempted to carry it away from their home near Cashmere. Marcia Green says after she let her Shih Tzu named Truffle into the yard April 23 she heard loud barking and then silence. The Wenatchee World reports Truffle was gone. Green began

looking and found it about 300 feet from the house, barely conscious. A veterinarian treated the dog for six puncture wounds, a punctured lung and broken ribs. Green didn’t see the bird she believes picked up her 7-pound dog and then dropped it. Green and her husband now accompany Truffle when it’s outside.
