In the news High fire danger on Kenai Peninsula

The Division of Forestry has issued a red flag warning for high fire danger in the Kenai Peninsula and suspended open burning until 11 p.m. Wednesday. The National Weather Service predicts wind gusts of 15 to 25 miles per hour with humidity down to 13 percent into Wednesday across the Kenai Peninsula. Across the Cook Inlet winds gusts are expected to reach up to 35 mph through Wednesday night. Partly sunny skies and temperatures into the 60’s are expected in the central peninsula the rest of the week. Darren Finley, Fire Prevention Officer for the Division of Forestry said high winds and low humidity increased the potential for fire activity. For the time being, the first burn suspension of the year is in effect, which includes the use of burn barrels, he said. Landowners are reminded to re-check any fires that may have recently started to ensure the area is extinguished and take extra precautions, he said. — Staff report

Running for well being Team Alaska effort provides clean water in Sudan By KELLY SULLIVAN Peninsula Clarion

The second annual CARE 2RUN 5k race raised over $1,000 in donations, extending local awareness for the resources crisis in Sudan, while promoting health and wellness within the Kenai community. The local arm of the 100 Wells Campaign, called 100 Wells Team Alaska sponsored by Peninsula Grace Brethren Church, raises money for the national 100 Wells Campaign, which directs financial aid into building and repairing wells in Sudan and South Sudan, said event or-

ganizer Janice Habermann. Saving a life costs $30, which was the entry price for the 5k, she said. “The more you raise awareness the faster a problem disappears,” Habermann said. The local group, the only active organization in Alaska for the 100 Wells cause, has raised $10,396 since it was founded two years ago, Habermann said. One well costs $15,000 to build, and the goal is to pay for two, she said. The 100 Wells Campaign works with the Persecution Project Foundation, which focuses on repairing wells destroyed by war, according to its web site.

The two groups have provided clean water to 80,000 people to date. Habermann said she has been in direct contact with organizers of both groups over the years. Events like CARE 2RUN are successful because they promote and provide international assistance with an activity that is engaging and beneficial to the community, Habermann said. Entire families, a group of employees from the Kaladi Brothers Coffee, walkers and runners came out for the 5k Habermann said. Many said they would be coming back next year. See WELL, page A-12

Teacher accused of sexual assault Man previously investigated for inappropriate contact with student By RASHAH McCHESNEY Peninsula Clarion

A 36-year-old music teacher has been accused of having sex, repeatedly, with one of his students. Alaska State Troopers have been issued a warrant to arrest Jeremy T. Anderson, a teacher at Nikiski Middle-High School, on seven counts of first degree

sexual abuse of a minor. If convicted, Anderson faces up to $500,000 in fines and 99 years in prison for each charge. Anderson is accused of having a 15-year-old student perform oral sex on him and of having sex with her on at least seven occasions between February and May in 2014, according to a statement of charges filed in Kenai on Friday.

Anderson, who has been with the school district since August 2012, was investigated by state troopers for having inappropriate conversations with the same student 11 months after he began teaching in the district. According to an affidavit filed by trooper investigator Jack LeBlanc, Anderson acknowledged at the time that he

As the room filled to capacity, attendees willingly stood to hear updates about the proposed pipeline project to transport North Slope natural gas to a liquefied natural gas plant in Nikiski. About 90 locals came to the former Nikiski Senior Center on Island Lake Road Monday for the Nikiski Community Council meeting — one of the largest crowds the group has seen. The meeting began with a presentation about the Alaska LNG Project by Michael Nelson, Lisa Gray and Mark Jennings of Paragon Partners. However, the group left some questions unanswered and Nelson said he was not authorized to answer questions from the media. Gray said it’s early in the project, so representatives don’t have all the answers. She said meetings help continue open discussions about the LNG facility proposed to be built in Nikiski. “You guys can help us to the right planning and spend the money the right way so that we can be better neighbors here and so that you guys can help us push the project forward,” Gray said.

had been communicating with the student outside of school and that their conversations could “raise some concerns.” The school district was aware of the previous allegations and investigation that took place, according to an email from Kenai Peninsula Borough spokesperson Pegge Erkeneff. Erkeneff wrote in the email

Some Nikiski area residents have been contacted about possible land purchases for the liquefied natural gas project. Developers of the project have selected Nikiski as the lead site for the LNG plant and marine export terminal. Gas would be moved to the plant from the North Slope via an 800-mile,

Same-sex marriage Rare sighting near Juneau activists hopeful JUNEAU (AP) — Over the years, the Alaska Supreme Court has chipped away at laws deemed discriminatory against gay couples. In 2005, for example, the high court found it unconstitutional to deny certain benefits to the same-sex partners of state employees. But it wasn’t until now — after U.S. Supreme Court decisions led to federal courts around the country striking down bans on same-sex marriage over the last year — that some activists felt the time was right to challenge Alaska’s firstin-the nation constitutional ban on gay marriage. On Monday, five couples filed a lawsuit in federal court to overturn the ban approved by

voters in 1998. The plaintiffs— four couples married outside Alaska and one unmarried couple — say the ban violates their right to due process and equal protection under the U.S. Constitution. Sean Egan, one of the plaintiffs along with his husband, David Robinson, said somebody had to do this. Egan, 28, is a graduate student at the University of Alaska Fairbanks and Robinson is in the military. He said it’s offensive they’ve had to “jump through so many hoops” to prove they’re married so they could live together in family housing or Robinson could use the gym. He said his mom wanted nothing to do with him See HOPEFUL, page A-12

JUNEAU (AP) — North America’s largest shorebird made an appearance this month in southeast Alaska, hundreds of miles north of its usual northern breeding area. Martina Kallenberger and her husband, Doug Sanvik, spotted and photographed a long-billed curlew May 3 at the Boy Scout camp north of Alaska’s capital. “We were actually watching a flock of Lapland longspurs when we noticed these two shorebirds on a little rise by the stream and one of them was a whimbrel, which we recognized, and the other one was just shockingly different,” Kallenberger told KTOO-radio. They consulted guidebooks for nearly an hour trying to confirm the bird’s identity. Long-billed curlews have only been spotted in Alaska three times before and never photographed, said lifelong birder Steve Heinl, part of the University of Alaska Museum’s Alaska Checklist Committee, the arbiter of what’s on Alaska’s official list of documented birds. Long-billed curlews are 20 to 25 inches long. They’re known for their long, downC

What Others Say

Ukraine needs U.S. military aid The battle for Ukraine is entering a

dangerous new phase, as the Kiev government is finally making an attempt to regain control over its eastern cities from local thugs and Russian special forces. Is it too much to ask the U.S. to offer the military means to help Ukraine keeps its own territory? Vladimir Putin’s campaign to destabilize and disrupt his neighbor is escalating as the May 25 date to elect a new Ukrainian government nears. The Russian strongman wants to block the vote, or disrupt it enough so he can call it illegitimate. His Russiansponsored fighters moved this week from smaller towns in eastern Ukraine to the regional centers of Donetsk and Luhansk, taking key government installations. The interim authorities in Kiev, which came into office after Moscow crony and President Viktor Yanukovych fled this winter, have dithered. Acting President Oleksandr Turchynov on Wednesday said the Ukrainian state had no authority in the east, a demoralizing and questionable admission. Seizing an opening, Putin the next day told Kiev to withdraw from the east and sue for peace. The Ukrainians might as well send him the keys to the capital. We’re told the assault launched on Friday reflects a change in approach and a commitment to push back. The “restraint” shown by Kiev in Crimea and in the east — which President Obama praised again on Friday — has frustrated most Ukrainians and failed to stop the Russian advance. The interim government might have faced an uprising in Kiev over its defeatist approach. Ukraine is desperately seeking Western military help, but so far the U.S. has refused. Earlier this week in Manila, President Obama tetchily addressed his Ukraine policy, saying, “Well, what else should we be doing?” He offered another rhetorical question: “Do people actually think that somehow us sending some additional arms into Ukraine could potentially deter the Russian army?” Well, who knows? But Obama is so worried about upsetting Putin that he refused to send even night-vision goggles, offering 300,000 meals-ready-to-eat instead. The Ukrainians are battling to free themselves of Russian domination and build a European democracy. They deserve more than Spam in a can from America. — The Wall Street Journal, May 5

Opinion

CLARION P

By GARRY TRUDEAU

It’s Hillary, or time wasted

I’ll tell you what: If Hillary Clinton doesn’t run for president, a bunch of people will have wasted a whole lot of energy. Why else would Vanity Fair resurrect Monica Lewinsky so we could revisit the tawdry case that blemished the family’s first White House go-around? There is a wide body of thinking that has it that rather than being Monica’s Revenge, the article by “that woman” actually will help Hillary when she runs (yes, the word “when” was intentional), because it will put an end to discussion of the dark period once and for all, declare it “old news” and remove it from the campaign plate. As someone who covered that awful scandal for more than a year, and struggled during live TV shots to keep a straight face while using euphemisms about the infamous blue dress, I certainly hope the story finally does move into the “who cares?” zone. Nobody would give a hoot now, were we all not convinced that Hillary had risen from her mortification as first lady to making a run at the big prize, where her husband, Clinton the former, would be referred to as something like the “first gentleman.” Come to think of it, maybe that would be Hillary’s revenge. Republicans certainly are convinced that she’ll be their opponent. They have made it absolutely clear, with the formation of their select committee on Benghazi.

The committee will focus on one matter only, and that would be the deaths of U.S. Ambassador Christopher Stevens and three traveling companions in Benghazi, Libya, on Sept. 11, 2012. Yes, there will Bob Franken be a harsh airing, still again, of accusations that the Obama administration engaged in a cover-up just a couple of months before the election and lied in the process, but expect that the major focus will be on Steven’s bosses and handlers back in Washington at the State Department. I don’t need to remind you who was secretary of state at the time. And if there ever was a sure thing, it would be that former Secretary Hillary Clinton will be called to testify. And even if there’s another missing plane, the news networks will take it live. The GOPs can protest all they want that they are strictly motivated by a desire to present the “truth” about the tragedy, but this is really just a transparent effort to stick it to the Dems, particularly the one who will be their 2016 standard-bearer. Actually, it’s a risky strategy. When it comes to brawling, Hillary Clinton is no slouch. When her hearing is all said and

done, it may be the Republicans who are left bleeding, exposed as shameless bullies who got a whuppin’. However it turns out, it’ll be the TV blockbuster of 2014 or 2015. We already know what it will be in 2016. As hard as they try to control the GOP debates, the Republican National Committee will not succeed in its effort to add some dignity to their comedy shows. The party leaders are insisting that they will control the format and, by implication, even the questions to be asked, but they are courting a PR disaster the first time they tell one of their candidates who has not been preordained that he or she will not have an equal chance at television glory. And that’s the Republican blessing and curse this time around. The party doesn’t have a real leading light. While the ones we always hear mentioned are spread out from establishment to rabble rouser, the leadership wants to rein them into a cluster that extends only from right to extreme right. Usually, it’s the other way around; it’s the Democrats who are turning on one another. But it looks like they already have their candidate. If Hillary bails, then they don’t have one. Bob Franken is a longtime broadcast journalist, including 20 years at CNN.

Sorry I’m not sorry: Some classic non-apologies NEW YORK (AP) — Los Angeles Clippers owner Donald Sterling only dug himself in deeper after slamming Magic Johnson when he was supposed to be atoning for his own racist remarks. But he’s not the first celebrity to learn the perils of making a non-apology apology. Sterling is facing fresh rebukes for repeatedly bringing up the former NBA star’s HIV status and calling him an unfit role model during an interview with CNN’s Anderson Cooper. Communications experts say this was among the worst apologies ever. “People should be watching this for a long time and understand what not to do in a television interview,” says Steve Adubato, who teaches crisis communications at New York University. Sterling made the classic mistake of dragging other people into a conversation that should have only been about him. An apology should be straightforward and sincere, not about what others may have done. “The apology has to be absolutely genuine,” says Amiso George, who teaches strategic communication at Texas Christian University Texas. “It has to be from the heart. Not something that the person has to do.” Here’s a look at other public figures who failed to simply say “I’m sorry” and why it didn’t work.

Lance Armstrong

AP News Extra Paula Deen

Paul Lepage

In a clumsily edited video on YouTube last year, Paula Deen tried to apologize after court documents revealed she had admitted using racial slurs. But her apology was defensive, and it looked like a hostage video. That video was quickly scrapped and replaced with a second video and more defensiveness. “I want people to understand that my family and I are not the kind of people that the press is wanting to say we are,” the celebrity chef said.

Maine Gov. Paul LePage used a sexually vulgar phrase and said a Democratic senator had a “black heart” and “ought to go back in the woods and cut trees” for criticizing a LePage budget proposal. He later apologized to pretty much everyone except the senator, saying he was sorry if he offended anyone, but was trying to “wake the people of Maine up” to the fact that lawmakers are raising taxes.

Chip Wilson

Ronald Reagan

Chip Wilson, founder of Lululemon Athletica Inc., apologized to his employees, not the general public, after saying in a television interview that some women’s bodies “just don’t actually work” in his company’s exercise pants. In a video posted online last year, Wilson said to his workers: “I’m sorry to have put you all through this.” But he didn’t retract his original statements.

Former President Ronald Reagan was a master of the non-apology apology. In a 1986 radio address admitting to missteps in the Iran-Contra scandal, the president famously said “mistakes were made” — a passive acknowledgement of wrongdoing that didn’t directly implicate anyone.

Rob Ford After Toronto Mayor Rob Ford was accused of smoking crack, he lashed out at the media, and then made a non-apology apology for an interview in which he suggested a reporter was a pedophile. Ford said it is “unfortunate that the word I did not say has been ascribed to me by the media, but I wish to sincerely apologize.”

Disgraced Tour de France champion Lance Armstrong admitted last year to Oprah Winfrey that he led a doping scheme but peppered his apology with excuses rather than contrition. “I went and looked up the definition of Ted Nugent cheat,” he said. “And the definition is to After calling President Barack Obama a gain an advantage on a rival or foe. I didn’t view it that way. I viewed it as a level play- “subhuman mongrel,” rocker Ted Nugent apologized “for using the street fight termiing field.” C

nology of subhuman mongrel.” He went on to say that he should have called Obama a “violator of his Constitution, the liar that he is.”

Nation Around the World 6 Ukrainian soldiers killed in east; Kiev skeptical about OSCE peace plan KIEV, Ukraine — An insurgent ambush killed six soldiers Tuesday in eastern Ukraine as Germany moved to jumpstart a possible plan toward peace that includes launching a dialogue on decentralizing the government in Kiev. Ukraine’s leadership appeared cool to the plan and U.S. officials view its prospects for success skeptically. But some analysts say Russian President Vladimir Putin is more likely to accept a deal that doesn’t come from Washington German Foreign Minister Frank-Walter Steinmeier is in Ukraine to try to broker a quick launch of talks between the central government and pro-Russia separatists. That would be a first step in implementing a “road map” drawn up by the Organization of Security and Cooperation in Europe aimed at settling the crisis. The OSCE is a trans-Atlantic security and rights group that includes Russia and the U.S., whose sparring over each other’s role in Ukraine sometimes overshadows events on the ground. Speaking in Brussels, acting Prime Minister Arseniy Yatsenyuk thanked the OSCE for its plan but said Ukraine has drawn up its own “road map” for ending the crisis and noted the people of his country should settle the issue themselves.

Nigeria says options open to free kidnapped girls as US has begins surveillance flights ABUJA, Nigeria — U.S. reconnaissance aircraft flew over Nigeria in search of the nearly 300 kidnapped schoolgirls Tuesday, a day after the Boko Haram militant group released the first evidence that at least some of them are still alive and demanded that jailed fighters be swapped for their freedom. A Nigerian government official said “all options” were open — including negotiations or a possible military operation with foreign help — in the effort to free the girls, who were shown fearful and huddled together dressed in gray Islamic veils as they sang Quranic verses under the guns of their captors in a video released Monday. The footage was verified as authentic by Nigerian authorities, who said 54 of the girls had been identified by relatives, teachers and classmates who watched the video late Tuesday. The abduction has spurred a global movement to secure the girls’ release amid fears they would be sold into slavery, married off to fighters or worse following a series of threats by Boko Haram leader Abubakar Shekau.

West Virginia coal mine where 2 miners were killed had a history of safety problems

WHARTON, W.Va. — Two miners who were killed on the job Monday night worked in a coalfield that had so many safety problems federal officials deemed it a “pattern violator,” a rare designation reserved for the industry’s worst offenders. Brody Mine No. 1 was one of only three mines last year to earn the label that regulators have put greater emphasis on since the 2010 Upper Big Branch explosion killed 29 miners about 10 miles away. The designation subjects the mine to greater scrutiny from regulators, and it’s the strongest tool the Mine Safety and Health Administration has, said Kevin Stricklin, the agency’s administrator of coal mine safety and health. “We just do not have the ability or authority to shut a mine just because it has so many violations,” Stricklin told The Associated Press on Tuesday. — The Associated Press

White House pushes Rove WASHINGTON (AP) — An aide to Hillary Rodham Clinton and the White House pushed back Tuesday against Republican strategist Karl Rove for suggesting that the former secretary of state’s health could be an issue if she runs for president in 2016. Rove told Fox News, for which he is a commentator, that Clinton had a “serious health episode” that would be a legitimate issue for her in a potential presidential campaign “whether she likes it or not.” The New York Post reported Tuesday that Rove suggested at a private conference near Los Angeles last week that Clinton suffered brain damage. Rove disputed that he was referring to any brain damage. “I didn’t say she had brain damage. I said she had a serious health episode,” he said on Fox News. Clinton spokesman Nick Merrill called Rove’s comments “flagrant and thinly veiled. They are scared of what she has achieved

‘First they accused her of faking it, now they’ve resorted to the other extreme — and are flat-out lying.’ — Clinton spokesman Nick Merrill

and what she has to offer.” The tussle between the former top political adviser to President George W. Bush and Clinton’s team came as the 66-year-old former first lady considers running for president again and is preparing for a book tour next month on her State Department years. Clinton is the leading Democratic contender for president but has not yet said whether she will seek the White House. As President Barack Obama’s secretary of state, Clinton fell ill with a stomach bug in December 2012 after returning from a trip to Europe. The illness forced her to cancel

a planned visit to North Africa and the Middle East and left her severely dehydrated. While at home, she fainted and fell and suffered a concussion. During a follow up examination on Dec. 30, doctors discovered a blood clot in a vein that runs between the skull and the brain behind her right ear and she was admitted to New York-Presbyterian Hospital for treatment with blood thinners. She was released after a brief hospitalization. Merrill said Clinton is “100 percent” and accused Rove of being part of an effort by Republicans to politicize her health. He noted that some Republicans

quipped that Clinton had “Benghazi flu” when her illness forced her to reschedule her testimony before Congress on the 2012 terrorist attack on a diplomatic post in Libya that killed Ambassador Chris Stevens and three other Americans. “First they accused her of faking it, now they’ve resorted to the other extreme — and are flat-out lying,” Merrill said. He said Rove was getting his facts wrong but “doesn’t care, because all he wants to do is inject the issue into the echo chamber, and he’s succeeding.” White House press secretary Jay Carney mocked the former George W. Bush adviser as “Dr. Rove” and cited Rove’s election night questioning on Fox News that President Barack Obama had won re-election in 2012. “Dr. Rove might have been the last person in America on election night to recognize and acknowledge that the president had won re-election,” Carney said.

US Sen. Cruz of Texas to visit Ukraine AUSTIN, Texas (AP) — U.S. Sen. Ted Cruz of Texas will visit Ukraine this month and meet with leaders of the protest movement that forced out the country’s pro-Russian president Frequently mentioned as a potential 2016 White House contender, Cruz also will visit other Eastern European countries and Israel on a trip that could be seen as an attempt to build his foreign policy credentials. Cruz told The Associated Press on Tuesday that he’ll meet with political, military, business and religious leaders in each country but declined to provide details, citing security concerns. His office said the visit will include meetings with protest leaders in Ukraine, which has scheduled a May 25 presidential vote. A Republican, Cruz is a member of the Senate Armed Services Committee. The trip is sponsored by Secure America

‘I have a particular responsibility to assess firsthand the current and future military threats that could jeopardize our safety and the security of our allies.’ — U.S. Sen. Ted Cruz, Texas Now, a conservative foreign policy group and Cruz will be the only lawmaker on the trip, his office said. “Ukraine right now is facing an enormous threat from a resurgent Russia. (Russian President) Vladimir Putin has been quite naked about his desire to reconstitute as much as possible the old Soviet Union,” Cruz said. “I have a particular responsibility to assess firsthand the current and future military threats that could jeopardize our safety and the security of our allies.” Cruz criticized the Obama administration as “tepid” in its response to the crisis in the

Ukraine. He renewed his call for the U.S. to install anti-ballistic missile batteries in Poland and the Czech Republic as safeguards for Eastern Europe, and push for liquefied natural gas exports to reduce Ukraine’s dependence on Russia. He also said the U.S. should help create a board to bolster the value of Ukraine currency. Cruz brushed off a question about his political future. “The objective here is to learn and listen and see firsthand the challenges and threats facing our national security,” he said. Ukraine’s caretaker government came to power in Feb-

ruary following the ouster of Russia-friendly President Viktor Yanukovych after months of protests in Kiev, leading to the worst standoff between Russia and the West since the Cold War. Russia later annexed Crimea, and on Monday, pro-Moscow insurgents in eastern Ukraine declared independence and also sought to join Russia. On Tuesday, the defense ministry said six servicemen were ambushed and killed and eight others wounded in fighting with insurgents. Last week, the U.S. State Department issued a travel warning for U.S. citizens to defer all “non-essential” travel to Ukraine and avoid all travel within the eastern parts of the country. The warning cited the “possibility of violent clashes between pro-Russian and pro-Ukrainian groups and the presence of Russian military forces in the Crimean Peninsula and on the eastern border of Ukraine.”

Hundreds contact FBI about pedophile case By MICHAEL WEISSENSTEIN and TAMI ABDOLLAH Associated Press

Hundreds of people have contacted the FBI about a teacher suspected of drugging and molesting boys during a four-decade career at international schools on four continents, greatly expanding the potential number of suspected victims. The FBI said last month that William Vahey had molested at least 90 boys, whose photos were found on a memory drive stolen by his maid. The bureau said Tuesday that it has now “been contacted by several hundred individuals from around the globe wishing either to reach out as potential victims or provide information in the ongoing investigation.” Special Agent Shauna Dunlap said officials wanted as many people as possible to call or contact the FBI through its website in order to receive counseling and provide information about a man who the bureau calls one of the most prolific pedophiles in memory.

Vahey killed himself at age 64 after evidence of molestation was found on a memory drive stolen by a maid in Nicaragua. He was one of the most beloved teachers in the world of international schools that serve the children of diplomats, well-off Americans and local elites. The discovery of his molestation has set off a crisis in the community of international schools, where parents are being told their children may have been victims, and administrators are scurrying to close loopholes exposed by Vahey’s abuses. Apparently, not even Vahey’s victims knew they had been molested. The double-cream Oreos that he handed out at bedtime on school trips were laced with sleeping pills — enough to leave the boys unconscious as he touched them and posed them for nude photographs. There were decades of missed opportunities to expose Vahey, starting with an early California sex-abuse conviction that didn’t prevent him taking a series of jobs exposing him to children. In 1969, Vahey was arrested

‘When this kind of thing happens it’s a shock to everyone and it mobilizes action.’ — Jane Larsson, executive director, Council of International Schools on child sexual abuse charges after police said he pinched the penises of eight boys, ages 7 to 9, at an Orange County, California, high school where he taught swimming. Vahey, then 20, told authorities he had started touching boys without their consent at age 14. He pleaded guilty to a single charge of lewd and lascivious behavior. He received a 90-day jail sentence and five years’ probation, but he was allowed to leave the country in January 1972. Vahey began his international teaching career at the American School in Tehran, the first in a series of stays around the Middle East and Europe. He taught history, social studies and related subjects in Lebanon, Spain, Iran, Greece, Indonesia and Saudi Arabia, almost always to

middle school students. By the time he arrived in Saudi Arabia, Vahey was married and had two sons with Jean Vahey, a widely respected administrator. In addition to teaching, he coached basketball and led school trips to Bahrain, Turkey and Africa. Authorities may have missed a warning sign during a later teaching stint in Venezuela: Two students under Vahey’s care were rushed to a hospital after falling unconscious in their hotel room on a trip, parents and staff said. Officials were unable to determine why and chalked it up to a possible failing air conditioner. Seven years later, the Vaheys went to work at the Westminster campus of London’s Southbank International School, with about

350 pupils from 70 countries. Police say at least 60 of the 90 or so children in the images on the USB drive were from that school. Southbank’s chair of governors, Chris Woodhead, told Britain’s Press Association there had been one complaint against Vahey, but, “The boy’s parents agreed that there was nothing untoward and the matter shouldn’t be pursued,” Woodhead said. In early March, the maid who had taken the memory drive handed it to American Nicaraguan school director Gloria Doll, who found it contained photos of unconscious boys, many between the ages of 12 and 14, often being touched by Vahey. Doll confronted Vahey, who told her, according to an FBI affidavit, that he had given the boys sleeping pills, adding: “I was molested as a boy, that is why I do this. I have been doing this my whole life.” Vahey said he had swallowed more than 100 sleeping pills in November after discovering the USB drive had been taken.

Doll demanded Vahey’s resignation, according to the affidavit, and notified authorities at the U.S. Embassy in Managua the next day, U.S. officials said. Embassy officials immediately notified Nicaraguan police, but Vahey had already flown out of the country. Vahey traveled to Luverne, Minnesota, where relatives live. He checked into a hotel and stabbed himself in the chest with a knife, leaving a note apologizing to his family. The discovery has led to reviews of recruiting policies, background checks and security procedures at organizations of schools around the world. Jane Larsson, executive director of the Council of International Schools, said a group of six international education associations was examining to close loopholes allowing pedophiles to move from country to country without being detected by background checks or other reports. “When this kind of thing happens it’s a shock to everyone and it mobilizes action,” she said.

At New York trial, prosecutor vs combative London imam NEW YORK (AP) — Confronted by a prosecutor, an Islamic cleric accused of supporting terrorist operations in Yemen and in the United States tried Tuesday to soften his most incendiary statements about the Sept. 11 attacks, Osama bin Laden and a 1998 kidnapping of 16 tourists in Yemen in which four hostages were killed. Many answers 55-year-old Mustafa Kamel Mustafa gave at his Manhattan trial to questions posed by Assistant U.S. Attorney John Cronan came reluctantly, with Mustafa criticizing the prosecutor for what he said

was a “cut-and-paste” effort to mischaracterize statements. “Try to concentrate. Ask one at a time,” he chided Cronan, shortly before U.S. District Judge Katherine Forrest admonished Mustafa for failing to answer questions properly. “We do need to obey the rules of cross examination,” she said. “Don’t make speeches.” “Sir, I will be asking the questions of you,” Cronan said pointedly when Mustafa tried repeatedly to answer a question with a question of his own. Cronan for the most part ignored Mustafa’s insults as he

used the testimony as an opportunity to replay audio of statements the government believes best support charges that Mustafa conspired to aid terror organizations, including al-Qaida, by providing a satellite phone to the Yemen hostage takers, by trying to open a training camp in Bly, Oregon, and by sending men to training camps in Afghanistan. Cronan asked if Mustafa had praised the Sept. 11 attacks. “We were all happy,” Mustafa said, explaining that attitudes toward Palestine and foreign policies led to a feeling of euphoria among some people after

the attacks. Mustafa, educated as a civil engineer, said he called for an investigation of the attacks and questioned whether explosives might have been responsible for the fall of the buildings. “Plenty of people at the mosque and al-Qaida hated me for my statements about 9/11,” he said. Cronan noted he had stated publicly that he loved bin Laden and asked if that was still so. “For the good in him,” Mustafa said, though he also said bin Laden’s 1998 fatwa stating that Americans should be killed

wherever they are found was “a piece of nonsense” and he believed bin Laden was undisciplined. Mustafa conceded he told an ex-hostage from the Yemen kidnapping who interviewed him at his London mosque while writing a book that the attacks were “Islamically justified.” When Cronan asked him if he said in an interview a month after the hostage taking that foreign visitors to Yemen were “like dumb animals, whoever imprisons them can do what he likes with them,” Mustafa responded with a question: “Where is the

clip?” As he backtracked from some statements, Mustafa had various excuses, saying he gets tired or that his diabetes interferes with his thinking. “I’m not trying to justify anything. ... I’m just saying my main language is Arabic,” Mustafa said. Mustafa, extradited in 2012 from England, also denied knowing Sept. 11 conspirator Zacarias Moussaoui and shoe bomber Richard Reid, both of whom reportedly had attended London’s Finsbury Park Mosque in the 1990s.

Google must yield on personal info By TOBY STERLING Associated Press

AMSTERDAM — Google and other search engines were thrust into an unwanted new role Tuesday — caretaker of people’s reputations — when Europe’s highest court ruled that individuals should have some say over what information pops up when their names are Googled. The landmark ruling by the Court of Justice of the European Union will force search engines to decide when to censor computer users’ search results across the 28-nation bloc of over 500 million people. The decision — which cannot be appealed — was celebrated by some as a victory for privacy rights in the Internet age. Others warned it could lead to online censorship.

The ruling applies to EU citizens and all search engines in Europe, including Yahoo and Microsoft’s Bing. It has no immediate impact on the way Google and other search engines display their results in the U.S. or other countries outside Europe. But it could create logistical headaches for such companies by forcing them to make judgment calls about the fairness of information published on other websites. In its ruling, the EU court said search engines must listen and sometimes comply when people ask for the removal of links to newspaper articles or other sites containing outdated or otherwise objectionable information. Google Inc. has long maintained that people with such complaints should take it up

‘It’s a great relief to be shown that you were right when you have fought for your ideas. It’s a joy.’ — Mario Costeja with the websites that posted the material. “This is a disappointing ruling for search engines and online publishers in general,” the Mountain View, California, company said in a statement. Though Europe is one of Google’s biggest markets, the decision isn’t expected to have much effect on the company’s earnings. That’s because it has no direct bearing on the online ads that Google places alongside its search results. Investors evidently weren’t worried. Google’s most widely

France: Syria launched 14 toxic attacks since October

WASHINGTON (AP) — France’s foreign minister on Tuesday accused the Syrian government of President Bashar Assad of attacking its people with chemical weapons at least 14 times since last October, including as recently as a few weeks ago. At a Washington news conference, top French diplomat Laurent Fabius cited “credible witnesses” to the attacks, which he said included the use of chlorine gas. He said it has been difficult to garner definitive proof because chlorine gas generally evaporates too quickly to collect samples. Under an agreement struck last summer, and to avoid U.S. airstrikes, Assad was supposed to dismantle his government’s stockpile of chemical weapons by June 30. Currently, officials believe 92 percent of the stockpile has been shipped out of Syria to be destroyed at sea. But Fabius said Syrian facilities that produce chemical weapons have not been destroyed, and he accused Assad’s government of not being fully forthcoming with the West about its continued ability to use toxic chemicals against opponents. The suspected chlorine attacks, for example, “shows that the regime of Bashar Assad is still capable of producing chemicals weapons, and determined to use them,” Fabius told reporters. He described the 14 attacks since last Octo-

ber 25 as “small-scale” and not likely to spur a Western military response. It’s widely suspected that a chlorine gas attack sickened dozens of people last month in areas controlled by rebel forces that are seeking to oust Assad in the bloody civil war that has killed at least 150,000 people. But Western officials so far have been unable to offer any concrete proof of the attack, or that Assad’s troops launched it. The Organization for the Prohibition of Chemical Weapons, which monitors the implementation of the Chemical Weapons Convention, sent a team to Syria this month to investigate the chlorine claims. In a report Tuesday, Human Rights Watch said that forces loyal to Assad likely used chlorine gas packed into crude bombs in attacks in mid-April on three towns near a military base in northern Syria. Those attacks killed at least 11 people, and wounded as many as 500, it said. Chlorine gas in bombs is not very lethal, but HRW said it appeared to have been used to terrorize residents and cause widespread panic. Fabius also signaled some frustration with U.S. and British refusals to launch airstrikes against Assad after a massive chemical weapons attack last August that killed at least several hundred people, and potentially as many as 1,400.

traded class of stock gained $3.11 to close at $541.54 Tuesday. It’s unclear exactly how the European court envisions Google and others handling complaints. Google, though, has dealt with similar situations in the past. The company already censors some of its search results in several countries to comply with local laws. For instance, Google and other search engines are banned from displaying links to Nazi paraphernalia and certain hate speech in Germany and France. The company also has set up a process so people can have their images blurred if they appear in Google’s street-level photographic maps. What Google and other search engines have sought to avoid is acting as the arbiters of what kind of information to include in their searches. These companies rely on formulas, or algorithms, and automated “crawlers” that roam the Internet and gather up results in response to search requests. “There’s not much guidance for Google on how to figure out how and when they

are supposed to comply with take-down requests — they just know they have to weigh the public interest,” said Joel Reidenberg, a Fordham University law professor now visiting Princeton University. The case was referred to the European Court from Spain’s National Court, which asked for advice in the case of Mario Costeja, a Spaniard who found a search on his name turned up links to a notice that his property was due to be auctioned because of an unpaid welfare debt. The notice had been published in a Spanish newspaper in 1998, and was tracked by Google’s robots when the newspaper digitized its archive. Costeja argued that the debt had long since been settled, and he asked the Spanish privacy agency to have the reference removed. In 2010, the agency agreed, but Google refused and took the matter to court, saying it should not be asked to censor material that had been legally published by the newspaper. “It’s a great relief to be shown that you were right when you have fought for your ideas. It’s a joy,” Costeja said. He said that “ordinary people will know where they have to go” to complain about bad or old information that turns up on a Google search. Costeja’s case will now return to Spain for final judgment. There are about 200 others in the Spanish court system, some of which may still prove difficult to decide. For

instance, one involves a plastic surgeon who wants mentions of a botched operation removed from Google’s results. Debates over the “right to be forgotten” — to have negative information erased after a period of time — have surfaced across the world as tech users struggle to reconcile the forgive-and-forget nature of human relations with the unforgiving permanence of the Internet. Though the idea of such a right has generally been wellreceived in Europe, many in the U.S. have criticized it as a disguised form of censorship that could, for example, allow ex-convicts to delete references to their crimes or politicians to airbrush their records. Alejandro Tourino, a Spanish lawyer who specializes in mass media issues, said the ruling was a first of its kind and “quite a blow for Google.” “It is a most important ruling and the first time European authorities have ruled on the ‘right to be forgotten’,” said Tourino, who has worked for The Associated Press in several legal cases and is the author of “The Right to be Forgotten and Privacy on the Internet.” Some limited forms of a “right to be forgotten” exist in the U.S. and elsewhere — for example, in regard to crimes committed by minors or bankruptcy regulations, both of which usually require that records be expunged in some way.

French journalist, 26, dies in C. African Republic By STEVE NIKO and KRISTA LARSON Associated Press

AP Photo/Sylvain Cherkaoui, File

In this file photo taken Oct. 6, 2013 in the Bonga Bonga stadium in Bangui, Central African Republic, French photojournalist Camille Lepage smiles with a local dancer. Lepage, 26, was killed while covering the deteriorating situation in the Central African Republic May 12.

BANGUI, Central African Republic — A 26-year-old French photojournalist who had spent months documenting deadly conflict in Central African Republic has been killed, the French presidency said Tuesday. Camille Lepage, a freelance photographer whose work was published in major French and American newspapers, died in western Central African Republic not far from the border with Cameroon, authorities said. “All means necessary will be used to shed light on to the circumstances of this murder and to find her killers,” the French presidency said in the statement. Lepage’s work had appeared in The New York Times as well as in The Wall Street Journal,

the Washington Post and the Los Angeles Times. She also had sold images to French newspapers including Le Monde and Liberation. Her death comes as the security situation worsens for reporters and photographers in the volatile country; two Central African journalists already have been killed this month in Bangui, the capital. Her body was found by French peacekeepers inside a vehicle driven by Christian militia fighters, the statement said. In her last tweet a week ago, Lepage said she was embedding with Christian anti-Balaka fighters who were battling the remnants of a Muslim rebellion known as the Seleka. “We left at 3:30 a.m. to avoid the Misca (African peacekeeping) checkpoints and it took us 8 hours by motorbike as there is no proper roads to reach the village,” she wrote in a photo

caption that she tweeted. “In the region of Amada Gaza, 150 people were killed by the Seleka between March and now. Another attack took place on Sunday killing 6 people, the anti Balaka Colonel Rock decides to send his elements there to patrol around and take people who fled to the bush back to their homes.” A native of Angers, France, Lepage also had worked extensively in Juba, South Sudan before moving to Central African Republic. In an interview with the photography blog PetaPixel, she said she was drawn to covering forgotten conflicts. “I want the viewers to feel what the people are going through. I’d like them to empathize with them as human beings, rather than seeing them as another bunch of Africans suffering from war somewhere in this dark continent,” she said. “I

wish they think: ‘Why on Earth are those people in living hell; why don’t we know about it and why is no one doing anything?’ I would like the viewers to be ashamed of their government for knowing about it without doing anything to make it end.” Jerome Delay, chief Africa photographer for The Associated Press, first met Lepage while the two were working in South Sudan and again in Central African Republic. On Tuesday he described her as a “very talented, extremely courageous young woman.” “She was the one who would spend the time on the job to make others understand what was going on in places like Central African Republic and South Sudan,” he said. Lepage had recently traveled to New York for a prestigious portfolio review and a workshop at The New York Times.

70 dead, hundreds trapped in Turkish coal mine By SUZAN FRASER Associated Press

ANKARA, Turkey — An explosion and a fire Tuesday killed some 70 workers at a coal mine in western Turkey and trapped more than 200 others underground, government officials said as Turkey launched a massive rescue operation. It was not immediately clear how many more miners were still trapped in the coal mine in the town of Soma, some 250 kilometers (155 miles) south of Istanbul. Authorities say the disaster followed an explosion and fire caused by a power distribution unit. A government official told The Associated Press that the death toll was expected to rise further while Cengiz Ergun, the mayor of the city of Manisa which oversees the area, told private HaberTurk television that the death toll stood at 157. Turkish Energy Minister Taner Yildiz called the situation was “worrisome” and said res-

cue efforts “must be completed by the morning.” “Time is working against us,” Yildiz said, adding that some 400 rescuers were involved in the operation. “We are faced with carbon dioxide and carbon monoxide poisoning,” he said. Yildiz said some of the workers were 420 meters (460 yards) deep inside the mine. Earlier, Turkey’s disaster and emergency management agency said about 20 people had been rescued from the site, 11 of them with injuries. Television footage showed people cheering and applauding as some trapped workers emerged out of the mine, helped by rescuers, their faces and hard-hats covered in soot. One wiped away tears on his jacket, another smiled, waved and flashed a “thumbs up” sign at onlookers. The accident occurred during a shift change so the exact number of trapped workers was not known. Authorities had said the blast left between 200 to 300

miners underground but the disaster agency later gave the number as “more than 200 workers.” There was no information on the condition of those trapped. But the disaster management agency said authorities were preparing for the possibility that the death toll could jump dramatically, making arrangements to set up a cold storage facility to hold the corpses of miners recovered from the site. “Evacuation efforts are underway. I hope that we are able to rescue them,” Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan said earlier in televised comments. His office said Erdogan postponed a one-day visit to Albania on Wednesday over the accident and would visit Soma instead. Rescuers were pumping fresh air into the mine and rescue teams from neighboring regions rushed to the area, said Taner, the energy minister, who immediately went to Soma to oversee the rescue operation. But the rescue effort was being hampered by the fact that the mine was made up of

tunnels that were kilometers (miles) long, said Cengiz Ergun, the leader of Manisa province, where the town is located. Hundreds of people gathered outside the mine and the hospital in Soma seeking news of their loved ones. NTV television said people broke into applause as rescued workers arrived in ambulances. Interviewed by Dogan news agency, some complained about the lack of information from state and company officials about the situation of the trapped workers. Police set up fences and stood guard around Soma state hospital to keep the crowds away. SOMA Komur Isletmeleri A.S., which owns the mine, confirmed that a number of its workers were killed but would not give a specific figure. It said the accident occurred despite the “highest safety measures and constant controls” and added that an investigation was being launched. “Our main priority is to get our workers out so that they

Relatives try to get information outside a local hospital after an explosion and fire at a coal mine in Soma, in western Turkey, Tuesday. An explosion and fire at a coal mine in western Turkey killed at least one miner Tuesday and left up to 300 workers trapped underground, a Turkish official said. Twenty people were rescued from the mine in the town of Soma in Manisa province but one later died in the hospital, Soma administrator Mehmet Bahattin Atci told reporters.

may be reunited with their loved ones,” the company said in a statement. Mining accidents are common in Turkey, which is plagued

by poor safety conditions. Turkey’s worst mining disaster was a 1992 gas explosion that killed 263 workers near the Black Sea port of Zonguldak.

Skyview soccer sweeps Seahawks By JEFF HELMINIAK Peninsula Clarion

The Skyview girls and boys soccer teams got the perfect start to what will be a pivotal week in their seasons. The host Panthers girls defeated Seward 4-1 while the Skyview boys notched a 5-1 victory. The Skyview girls moved to 1-7 overall and 1-1 in the Northern Lights Conference

Southern Division, while the Panthers boys moved to 2-6 and 1-1. Only the top four teams out of the six-team Northern Division qualify for the conference tournament. That leaves the Seward girls (0-4-1, 0-3-1 in Southern Division) and the Seward boys (0-6, 0-4) in a tough spot. The fate of Skyview’s final soccer season will be determined in three days at the end

of the week. The Panthers girls and boys host Soldotna at 4 and 6 p.m. Thursday, host Nikiski at 4 and 6 p.m. Friday and travel to Homer for 2 and 4 p.m. tilts Saturday. Tuesday provided the crucial dose of confidence heading into that slate. “This helps people know what they can do in other games, not just today,” junior Ciarra Mahan said after tallying a goal and an assist for Skyview.

Mahan started the scoring for the Panthers in the 11th minute when she got a ball up the side from Taylor Wilson and turned it into a goal. Fifteen minutes later, Mahan found Wilson in the middle for a 2-0 lead. “Me and her were like the core together in the center,” Wilson said. Seward coach Kelly Smith said the middle was vulnerable at times due to shifting roles on

the team. “We’ve had some injuries this season and we have players playing in some positions they’re not used to playing,” Smith said. “But they are improving and playing a lot better.” Just two minutes into the second half, the Seahawks had a chance to get right back in the game but Skyview goalie Mandee Lawson turned aside a penalty kick from Cambria

Robinson. Then six minutes into the half, Skyview’s Carissa Lingle nudged the ball ahead to Lilly Denison for a goal. The play happened just a minute after Denison had a goal nullified due to offsides. In the 67th minute, Wilson notched her second goal of the game when she carried the ball nearly half of the field and scored for a 4-0 lead. See KICK, page A-11

SoHi softball tops Kenai to sweep season series By JOEY KLECKA Peninsula Clarion

Just days before she is due to graduate, Serena Prior showed why Soldotna will be missing her next year. Behind a sterling pitching performance and powerful batting Tuesday from Prior, the Stars routed Kenai Central 18-2 in four innings at the Kenai softball fields to sweep the Northern Lights Conference season series and improve to 4-4 on the year (3-2 conference). Kenai continued its winless season by dropping to 0-7 overall (0-5 conference). “I just go out and have fun,” Prior said. “Sometimes I get down but my teammates back me up and make me feel better.” Prior hit 3 for 3 (two triples) with three RBIs and two runs. On the mound, Prior gave up one hit while delivering seven strikeouts. To top it all off, she will be walking

the graduating stage with her fellow seniors Monday. It will be an exciting time, but the senior managed to contain her excitement Tuesday on the mound. “I felt like I did pretty well with my pitches today, just kept them down the middle like we needed,” she said. Soldotna coach Kelli Knoebel had high praise of Prior and all her players, saying that they got hits when they needed them most. Amber McDonald hit 2 for 3 with three RBIs, Delaney Schneider hit 2 for 2 with two RBIs, Jessica Hanna hit 3 for 4 with three RBIs, and Ila Cobb hit 3 for 3 with two RBIs. “(Prior) dominated the game,” Knoebel said. “That really helps on offense. Even when they scored, we came back and were aggressive on the plate. It really sets the tone of the game.” Knoebel said she told her players to come out aggressive, and they

The Soldotna baseball team run-ruled Kenai Central in five innings Tuesday at the Soldotna Little League fields, beating the Kardinals 10-0. It offered the Stars a bit of relief after a 3-2 loss to Kenai in walk-off fashion two weeks ago. “The kids were pretty excited, we felt pretty good about it,” said SoHi coach George Stein. The win was also the first for SoHi this season, improving the record to 1-4. The Stars’ Tyler Covey pitched all five innings with

four strikeouts, and provided a crucial two-run double in the second inning, while Sheldon Nelson went 3 for 3 on the day. Soldotna scored six runs total in the second, batting through the lineup. “The difference was they got the hits and we didn’t,” said Kenai coach John Kennedy. Kenai started with Sam Combs on the mound, getting 2 1-3 innings out of him with nine runs (eight earned), and ended with Gabe Boyle, who pitched 2 1-3 innings. Paul Steffensen, Nate O’Lena and Boyle each provided a hit for Kenai. The loss dropped Kenai to 2-3 for the season.

Ranger, Blackhawks roll to series wins New York edges Pittsburgh and Chicago tops Minnesota in OT By The Associated Press

PITTSBURGH — Henrik Lundqvist set an NHL record with his fifth straight Game 7 victory, making 35 saves to lift the New York Rangers to a 2-1 win over the Pittsburgh Penguins on Tuesday night and earn a spot in the Eastern Conference finals. Brian Boyle and Brad Richards scored for New York, who rallied from a 3-1 series deficit for the first time in the franchise’s 88-year history. The Rangers did it behind Lundqvist, who stopped 102 of the final 105 shots he faced over the final three games as New York advanced to the conference finals for the second time in three years. The Rangers will play the winner of the Bruins-Canadiens series in the conference finals. That series is tied 3-3 and Game 7 is Wednesday night in Boston. Jussi Jokinen scored his team-high seventh goal of the postseason for the Penguins. Marc-Andre Fleury made 18 saves for the Penguins, who were outscored 10-3 over the final three games. The Penguins fell to 2-7 all time at home in Game 7s, including three such losses in the past four seasons. This one might have been the most painful for the core of Sidney Crosby, Evgeni

Malkin and coach Dan Bylsma that seemed pointed toward a dynasty after winning the 2009 Stanley Cup. Crosby, who led the league in scoring and is an MVP finalist, managed just one goal in 13 playoffs games. BLACKHAWKS 2, WILD 1, OT ST. PAUL, Minn. — Patrick Kane scored on a backhand at 9:42 of overtime to lift Chicago over Minnesota in Game 6 to clinch their second-round Western Conference series. Kris Versteeg scored at 1:58 of the first and Corey Crawford came up with tough save after tough save among his 34 stops for the Blackhawks, who advanced to the Western Conference finals to meet either Anaheim or Los Angeles. Anaheim leads that series 3-2 and Game 6 is Wednesday night in Los Angeles. Erik Haula scored and Ilya Bryzgalov stopped 25 shots for the Wild, who pushed a frenetic pace for much of the night but missed prime chances to score. They paid for it in the extra period, when a simple dump-in by Brent Seabrook took an unusual bounce back toward the slot. The puck slid past Peter Regin but not Kane, who deked once and flipped it into the net.

must have listened. The Stars took an 8-0 lead in the first inning with four singles, a double and an inside-thepark home run from McDonald that scored three. Hanna, Cobb and Kenley Kingrey all found contact in their first at-bat. In the second inning, Prior scored on a passed ball, then Hanna hit a single that brought Kayla Bauter home for a 10-0 lead. At the top of the fourth, the Stars scored seven runs, as runners streamed in off of two triples from Prior and Schneider, two doubles from McDonald and Cobb, and a single from Allison Nelson. “I was most proud of my second to last triple because I knew it was going big,” Prior said. “That one, I went full on.” Havan Shaginoff received the loss pitching for Kenai, giving up 16 hits but striking out four batters. Kenai coach Mark King was at a loss

to explain the lack of hitting from his team. King said Kenai was averaging over .400 batting the first week of the season, but has slumped since then. “The first week we hit the ball really well,” King said. “Now it’s maybe .200. “Some of it’s mechanics, they’re just not really watching the ball.” Shaginoff hit a double in the bottom of the third that brought NyQolle VanDegrift and Patricia Catacutan in to score, but that was practically all the offense that the Kards could muster. “We just need to get our confidence back up,” King said. “Once we get back to what we were hitting in the first week, we’ll be fine.” Homer 9, Skyview 4 The Mariners got even with a win over the Panthers on Tuesday evening in Homer. After losing to Skyview 6-4 two weeks ago in a Northern Lights Conference matchup, Homer took advantage of seven

errors by Skyview and turned in some insurance runs late to hold off Skyview and improve to 3-1 in the conference (3-13 overall). McKi Needham took the win on the mound, getting eight strikeouts and giving up seven hits. Skyview’s Sam Reynolds also gave up seven hits and struck out three. Of the nine runs that Homer scored, only one was earned. Needham and Maggie LaRue both were 2 for 4, and LaRue had two RBI. Reynolds, Lynne Hesse and Mikaela Rybak each went 2 for 4 at bat for Skyview, and Rybak batted in three runs. Skyview took a 1-0 lead in the first inning when Hesse hit a fly ball single that brought Reynolds home. However, Homer would tie it up in the bottom of the first when Needham scored on a wild pitch. Larsen Fellows scored the go-ahead run when Reynolds walked Kyla Pitzman with the bases loaded. Homer scored a run in the second inning, three in the third and three in the sixth, while Skyview added a run in the third and two in the fifth.

. . . Kick Continued from page A-10

“It feels pretty good,” Wilson said when asked how it felt to get the first victory of the year. “The team is stoked. Look at them.” The Seahawks got on the board in the 80th minute, when Ashley Whiteshield played a corner kick to Robinson. Robinson touched the ball into a scrum of players in front of the net, and Carrie Anderson touched it in. “I’m upset with the outcome, but I think as a whole Seward put forth its best effort,” Smith said, adding that Whiteshield had a solid game. “We just didn’t get the result we wanted.” Skyview boys 5, Seward 1 The Panthers overcame an early deficit to notch the win.

In the sixth minute, Seward started the scoring when Rhett Sieverts scored on a cross from Alex Estees. But with a roster of 12, eight being freshmen and sophomores, the Seahawks could not hold the lead. “We started well but with a lack of numbers we ran out of gas a bit,” Seward coach Dustin Phillips said. In the 21st minute, the Panthers tied the game when Seth Hutchison found Taylor Macrae with a cross. Just seven minutes later, Skyview made sure it would take a 2-1 lead into half when Mauro Lotito scored when Chad Harley found a soft spot in the middle of the defense with his cross. “We’ve been playing all Northern Division teams so we’ve been playing a lot of defense,” Skyview coach Jake Eveland said. “It was nice to get a chance to work on the offensive side of things.”

Phillips said many of his young players are positioned in the middle, something that should pay dividends in the future. “Last year, we didn’t even have a boys squad,” Phillips said. “We are rebuilding and it’s good we have some young players to build around.” Phillips said his player of the game was sophomore midfielder Ronny Jackson. The Panthers added three more goals in the second half. Sterling Stasak tucked a ball in the corner from a tough angle off an assist from Bailey Blumentritt, Macrae scored off an assist from Lotito, and Lotito scored off an assist from Macrae. Lotito, an exchange student from Chile, had two goals and an assist, finding form after a recent injury. “He’s very good at seeing other people and calming everybody down,” Eveland said. Macrae also had two goals

and an assist. “He’s the nicest kid in the world and he always works hard,” Eveland said. Eveland said Seward had some good players, so his team could not afford to relax. “I’m very proud of the guys,” he said. “They kept focused and moved the ball well.” Kenai girls 5, Nikiski 0 The Kardinals earned an always-important Northern Lights Conference win Tuesday in Nikiski, improving their season record to 3-0 in the Southern Division (6-2 overall). Kenai coach Dan Verkulien said his squad put the pressure on the Bulldogs early, taking 13 shots in the first half on Nikiski goaltender Rachel Thompson. “I’m happy with the way the girls moved the ball,” Verkuilen said. Kenai scored its opening

goal in the 25th minute on a header by Lara Creighton that began with a corner kick from Heidi Perkins. Two minutes later, Allie Ostrander took matters into her own hands by dribbling through a couple Nikiski defenders and scoring unassisted, and Hannah Drury added a goal in the 31st minute with help from Taylor Sheldon and Mikaela Pitch, resulting in a 3-0 lead for the Kards at halftime. Willow Napolitano scored in the 57th minute on an assist from Hannah Drury, and Pitch wrapped things up with a goal in the 64th minute, getting an assist from Abi Tuttle. Alli Steinbeck got the shutout in goal for Kenai. Verkuilen said the seeding will likely pair Kenai with either Palmer or Colony from the Northern Division. “The seeding should be good, if we can do our job the rest of way,” he said. “Those teams always look tough the

A-11

second time around.” Nikiski fell to 0-7-2 and 0-2-2 in the south, and will face Skyview on the road Friday. Kenai will host Homer on Thursday. Kenai boys 3, Nikiski 2 After trailing 3-0 at halftime, the Bulldogs attempted a rally but fell short at home. TJ Wagoner notched a hat trick — all goals coming in the first half — and Kenai bumped its record up to 5-2-1. Kenai coach John Morton said he started subbing in JV players in the second half. “We were dominating possession, and I think we kind of got a little complacent,” Morton said. “I think those things had a mental impact.” Michael Stangel scored both Nikiski goals in the second half, including one on a penalty kick. Nikiski dropped to 1-2-1 in the Northern Lights Conference (4-5-1 overall).

Thunder deliver stunning comeback over Clippers OKLAHOMA CITY (AP) — Russell Westbrook finished off Oklahoma City’s stunning comeback. Clippers coach Doc Rivers believes he should never have had the chance. Westbrook scored 38 points and made three free throws with 6.4 seconds remaining, and the Thunder overcame a seven-point deficit in the final 50 seconds to beat Los Angeles 105-104 on Tuesday night and go up 3-2 in the Western

Conference semifinals. “I think when you get a win like this it brings everybody closer,” Westbrook said. “It lets you know you can’t mess around. You have to take every moment, every play and go out and win the game.” The play that led to Westbrook’s free throws is in dispute. Kevin Durant made a 3-pointer, then Los Angeles’ Jamal Crawford missed in close before Durant made a layup with

17 seconds left. Westbrook stole the ball, and in a scramble, the Thunder got possession with 11.3 seconds to play, setting up Westbrook’s play. The Clippers believed the ball went off Oklahoma City’s Reggie Jackson, but the officials awarded the ball to the Thunder. After review, the play stood. “Everybody knows it was our ball,” Rivers said. “The bottom line is they thought it was a foul and they made up for it.

Let’s take away the replay. We were robbed. It was our ball, whether it was a foul or not.” NBA crew chief Tony Brothers explained the call after the game. “When the ball goes out of bounds, the ball was awarded to Oklahoma City,” he said. “We go to review the play. We saw two replays. The two replays we saw were from the overhead camera showing down, and the one from under the basket showing the same angle but from a

different view. And from those two replays, it was inconclusive as to who the ball went out of bounds off of. When it’s inconclusive, we have to go with the call that was on the floor.” WIZARDS 102, PACERS 79 INDIANAPOLIS (AP) — The Wizards were tired of getting shoved around in the Eastern Conference semifinals. So on Tuesday night, Marcin

Gortat and his teammates pushed back hard. Gortat delivered the best playoff game of his career, 31 points and 16 rebounds, and John Wall scored a playoff-best 27 points as Washington routed the Indiana Pacers 102-79 to cut the Eastern Conference semifinals deficit to 3-2. “We don’t have anything to lose now,” Gortat said. “We play desperate. At the end of the day, we might lose. We have to play every minute of every game like it’s the last one of the season.”

Coordinator Susan Pfaffe said she noticed charitable giving goes up and down with the economy. As an educator on tobacco use, she also said building a foundation of awareness within a community takes time, no matter the size. Patience is key, she said. Pffafe said if a level of commitment is established, once a goal is reached that doesn’t mean it is a stopping point. She predicts after Team Alaska hits their target, they would likely continue to raise money for the Sudanese affected by the regional ethnically and politically fueled conflict. Pfaffe said Team Alaska stays on top of the African region’s developments.

when he came out as gay, and while his dad has come around, the only real family he has is Robinson. And to have the state “just, I don’t know, spit on that and treat us as if we were strangers, it’s offensive and it does cut very deep,” he said. “...It hurts more than any physical pain I’ve experienced in my life.” The Human Rights Campaign says only three states — North Dakota, South Dakota and Montana — do not have legal challenges pending to same-sex marriage bans. Spokesman Charles Joughin said the bulk of the active cases followed last year’s U.S. Supreme Court decision striking down a provision of the federal Defense of Marriage Act that prevented legally married same-sex couples from receiving a range of federal benefits. The court, last June, also left in place a trial court’s deci-

900,000 are internally displaced in South Sudan, and 300,000 people have fled to neighboring countries. Sudan’s President Omar alBashir has publicly stated he seeks to eradicate non-Muslims from the Darfur region in Sudan, Habermann said. His tactics have boiled down to control and denial of resources, resulting in little or no access to, and sometimes tainted, water supplies. “Raising money for wells is something we can do,” Habermann said. While the process to achieving the $30,000 mark been slower than originally projected, Habermann said, the goal is still in sight. Lack of clean water is not unique to Sudan, Habermann said. Globally 1.8 million people die from diarrhea per year, which is the direct result of unsanitary water sources. Of the 1.8 million, 90 percent are children, she said. Long-term Team Alaska is working to create a sustainable way people in the Kenai community can feel good about consistently giving to a cause, Pfaffe said. sion striking down California’s constitutional ban on same-sex marriage. Joughin said judges that have handed down decisions since then generally have referenced at least one of those cases. He said it was only a matter of time “before all of these discriminatory bans are struck down.” Allison Mendel, an attorney for the couples in the Alaska case, agreed the U.S. Supreme Court decisions “opened the floodgates” for challenges around the country. She was an attorney involved in the case over employee benefits, filed in 1999 — on the heels of the voter-approved constitutional ban — and decided in 2005. She said they wouldn’t have won an attack on the constitution back then. But she said times have changed, attitudes have changed, and the U.S. Supreme Court decision allowing for federal benefits for married gay couples made “the more disconcerting and peculiar” the idea of being recognized as married for one purpose but not another.

42-inch diameter pipeline. Project planners are looking to purchase 600-800 acres in Nikiski for the LNG facility. The representatives said they have contacted the majority of landowners for parcels they are interested in, but are having difficulty tracking down a few remaining individuals. Alaska LNG has contacted landowner Ted Riddall who owns property near Tesoro Road. “What if I don’t want to sell?” Riddall said. ... “Without the land you don’t have a project.” Nelson said Alaska LNG is trying to work with landowners who are willing to sell. However, he said while Nikiski is the top choice, Alaska LNG does have other locations it can consider for the plant. Riddall said he wanted to have financial advisors with him when meeting with project representatives to discuss a sale, but Alaska LNG wouldn’t allow it. “If I’m going to sell my land

that the school district had a record of how long the student had been in Anderson’s class, but cited the Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act, or FERPA, as a reason for not being able to provide that information to the Clarion. The student told another teacher, Jake Doth, that she had been having sex with Anderson and Doth told Nikiski MiddleHigh school principal Daniel Carstens who contacted the troopers, according to the affidavit. Troopers arrived at the school about two hours later to investigate, according to the affidavit, but Anderson had already left. When the schools went into lockdown mode Thursday, a woman had called them to report a suicidal man in Nikiski

volved — BP, ConocoPhillips, ExxonMobil and TransCanada — are continuing preliminary front end engineering and design as well as land access and acquisition for the project. “We continue with land access and acquisition efforts,” Nelson said. … “We started talking to landowners and that continues today.” He said project representatives have also been talking with landowners to gain access for studies this summer and future summers to consider environmental, engineering, social and other potential aspects. Along with ongoing work, the project is moving toward the pre-filing process with the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission for permitting. “It’s a huge undertaking, extensive process that addresses almost every aspect of this project,” Nelson said. Field studies are planned for this summer focusing on the pipeline route south of Livengood and at the proposed LNG plant sight in Nikiski. He said crews will mostly be working on geotechnical and Project progressing geophysical aspects of onshore Nelson said the producers in- portions of the project.

Nearly 10,000 acres of cultural resources have been identified that Alaska LNG will have to consider including fisheries, hydrology, wetlands and vegetation, contaminated sites and lakes. Crews will also conduct ambient air monitoring and ambient noise surveys. The project has identified potential corridors for the project to enter Cook Inlet. Nelson said the route options will be studied and at this point there is no preferred route through the inlet. Nelson said crews have done some metocean studies — analyzing wind, waves coastlines and other aspects. Those studies began in the fall and monitors were placed in the inlet. Throughout the winter ice movement was watched using the devices. “We’ll do the studies,” Nelson said. “Things will change as we do the studies — hopefully not dramatically, but we do the studies to identify potential issues.”

and troopers were investigating the two incidents separately. Sometime before 4 p.m. Thursday Anderson called his wife and told her that he had slept with a student and would go to a place where no one could find him and commit suicide, according to LeBlanc’s affidavit. “It wasn’t until later that troopers realized that the two reports were about the same man,” wrote Trooper spokesperson Beth Ipsen in an email on Friday. Anderson was not located until noon on Friday when troopers contacted him at Mile 15 of the Kenai Spur Highway — between Forrest Drive in Kenai and the Nikiski Fire Station. They called an ambulance because of his injuries, according to Ipsen’s email. While the troopers have yet to confirm that the man they found Friday is the Jeremy T. Anderson listed in their war-

any time — regardless of having a contract with the district — for causes defined by the law, including immorality or substantial noncompliance with school laws, according to district policy. Again citing FERPA, Erkeneff said she could not disclose whether the female student still attends school in Nikiski. Erkeneff said the school district is trying to create a school culture where students feel safe talking to their administrators about their concerns. “Specifically, at Nikiski Middle-High School, events last week prompted topics of suicide, safety, and sexual abuse to become prominent,” Erkeneff wrote in an email. “Extra school psychologists and counselors are in place at school, and supports are available to each student.”

and my home that I built, I’m going to have some financial people sitting with me to help me make that decision so I don’t make some rash decision,” Riddall said. “That seems logical.” Nelson said he wanted to follow up with Riddall after the meeting to further discuss the situation. Wayne Floyd said his property, where he and his wife Patti Floyd are developing a peony farm, will likely border the proposed facility. He said Alaska LNG representatives have approached his neighbors across the road, but not him. He said that’s a “real good indication” where the fence for the LNG facility will be. “Is (Alaska LNG) … going to address any kind of impact upon the quality of life that you’re going to destroy by putting a plant in my backyard?” he said. Gray said the fence line for the LNG facility is unknown right now. Nelson said crews will try to create a buffer zone to minimize impact to surrounding landowners.

rant, trooper spokesperson Megan Peters said Saturday that they had contacted a man named Jeremy Anderson that day and had later applied for a warrant for a man with the same name. Anderson has yet to be arrested on the charges and was last said to be recovering from life-threatening wounds, according to an email from Peters. A person who answered the phone at Central Peninsula Hospital Saturday said it was against hospital policy to talk about patients. Anderson has been placed on administrative leave, or paid suspension, by the school district, according to an email from Erkeneff. According to district policy, the teacher can be suspended for a period necessary to investigate an issue that could be cause for dismissal. Any teacher, tenured or nontenured can be dismissed at

Got bananas? Make banana cake One of the first banana cakes I ever made was heavy and, surprisingly, not as moist as I had hoped. The cakes presented here are not like that, so if you’ve got a surplus of bananas on hand, here are two recipes that will make good use of them. Also, if your bananas are beginning to over-ripen and you want to make the cakes another time, you can freeze the bananas now for use in recipes later. Just peel and mash the desired amount of bananas needed, freeze them in freezerproof, tightly sealed containers, and when you’re ready use them, simply thaw. (The thawed banana pulp will be watery, but the extra liquid will not affect your recipe.) Banana Walnut Cake is a delicious layer cake that pairs well a number of frostings.

Grannie Annie is the author of Grannie Annie Cookbook series, featuring Alaskan recipes and stories

About gooseberry pie and my dad On the farm in Northern Colorado 1940’S to 1955 If you asked my Dad what kind of pie he wanted, he would say “gooseberry” or if we ask him what kind of ice cream he would like, he would say “gooseberry.” My Mother’s recipe for gooseberry pie follows. I remember eating this sweet-and-sour pie but it was a lot of work to pick, cook, and prepare so Dad rarely got gooseberry pie. Actually he was happy to eat any kind of pie with ice cream on it. He loved Mom’s mincemeat pie in the wintertime, the way mom made it, with no citron. She made her mincemeat pie with deer meat and canned it for the holidays. She added lots of apples and more spices. I make my mincemeat with moose. On the farm we had gooseberry bushes growing in the windbreak but they rarely got watered and picking the gooseberries was a labor of love. Sometimes one or 2 cups was all I could pick before I lost interest. I think my love of rhubarb pie in Alaska has replaced the gooseberry pie. I am so happy to see my rhubarb up and almost ready to pick in about two weeks. Yum.. fresh rhubarb custard pie! Mom made her own piecrust. I have been spoiled by the frozen type piecrust already in foil pie pans. How easy is that?? My Mom and my Grandma would just roll their eyes and tell me that was the lazy way. I have not mastered making pie crust from scratch, and I don’t intend too!

riding a school bus to high school, going to football and basketball games, going to the prom, I cannot remember one thing about graduating from high school! Well that was a few years ago so I guess I will forgive myself for not remembering!!

Grannie Annie

Graduation Time I received a graduation announcement from my little niece Kaylee who lives in Colorado Springs. I cannot believe she’s all grown up and graduating from high school! This led me to try and remember about my own graduation from Timnath High School in Tmnath. Colorado, in 1955. Try as I may, I cannot remember one thing about our graduation! The only thing I do know is that there were 13 or 15 in our graduation class. After 12 years of going to school through thick and thin, winter cold and spring weather, eating homemade lunches in grade school,

Mothers Day Surprise! I do hope you all have a nice Mother’s Day week end. I did! My grandson Michael Jordan, who lives in Washington, surprised his Mom and Dad, Susan and Porter and me, by showing up Sunday afternoon at the greenhouse. That was a wonderful Mother’s Day surprise for this Grandma!! Thank you Michael!! We get to keep him for a week!

Moms Gooseberry Pie I have this recipe in my Mom’s tiny handwriting. I cherish this recipe!

Gooseberry Pie - 2 Crust

mixture, add vinegar. Pour into crust, cover with top crust. Bake 1 quart or more prepared gooseberries- 400° oven for about 40 min. fresh 1 1/2 cups sugar NOTE: What Mom did not write in this Pinch of salt recipe is - Go pick the Gooseberries. Prepare 2 tablespoons tapioca-3 tablespoons for a the gooseberries, by handling everyone of the thicker pie berries to get the stems off and pick out the 1 teaspoon vinegar leaves. Wash carefully. Make the pie crust. 1/4 cup water Get out the glass pie dish. Turn on the oven Cook 1 cup berries in 1/4 cup water with and then get out the recipe for gooseberry pie sugar and tapioca, until berries are soft, that she was making for my Dad. Oh.. we got mash. a piece too, but mostly we liked the ice cream Add the remaining berries to the mashed on top!!

RHUBARB CUSTARD PIE This is the first pie I baked when I came to Alaska in 1967. It still is my favorite Alaska pie. Rhubarb grows in the warm parts of our state from Fairbanks to Juneau. The big red Ruby variety is my favorite. 1-9 inch pie shell unbaked One piecrust for top-optional 3 eggs 3 tablespoons of milk 2 cups sugar-or 1 cup of white and 1 cup of brown sugar 1/4 cup flour 3/4 teaspoons nutmeg 1/4 teaspoon allspice 1/4 teaspoons salt 4 cups rhubarb cut in small diced pieces Beat eggs, milk and sugar in bowl. Add flour and spices. Add rhubarb, stir to coat. Pour into pie shell. Dot with butter. Top with top piecrust-not necessary and I usually do not put on a top piecrust but use the crumb topping. (If using the top piecrust brush with milk

and sprinkle with sugar and cinnamon.) Bake at 400° for 50 to 60 min.

Variations for Crumb Topping: Top with the crumb topping in place of the piecrust

Topping

1/4 cup each brown sugar and room temperature butter 1/2 cup flour 1/4 teaspoon nutmeg 1/8 teaspoon cinnamon Mix into crumbs, sprinkle on top of pie. Bake as directed above. Serve with vanilla ice cream!

JUDY’S NO CRUST COCONUT PIE Preheat oven to 350° 1 stick butter melted 2 eggs 1 1/3 cups sugar 1 1/2 teaspoons vanilla 1/4 to 1/2 teaspoon nutmeg 1/2 cup flour 2 cups milk 3 cups shredded coconut

In a roomy bowl, combine all the ingredients and mix well. Pour into an ungreased 9 inch pie plate and bake at 350° until Golden Brown on top, about 35 to 45 min. I turned mine around in the oven halfway through baking as it was browning on just one side. Enjoy! Judy Platz.

A Dear Abby dinner party blends good food and fun DEAR ABBY: I love cooking for my wife and friends. There are few things I find more pleasing than to put out a nice spread of food and watch people enjoy. I’m always on the lookout for more cookbooks, and you hold the key to my next big party. I was reading through your archives and have seen many people asking about your cookbooklets. I’d love to get them. Can you print the ordering information again, so I can be sure I’m sending the right amount to the right place? Thanks! — MAN IN THE KITCHEN IN NORTH LITTLE ROCK DEAR MAN IN THE KITCHEN: I’m glad to oblige. I have been a compulsive cookbook collector for many years, so I can relate. (I’m sure you will be pleased when you see that my cookbooklets, while wide-ranging in content, take up little space on your bookshelf.) Your idea of throwing a “Dear Abby Dinner Party” is a good one, and I have been told the recipes provide a fun, traditional eating ad-

venture. All of them are simple, easy-to-read and delicious. One reader described creating place cards for her guests decorated with hearts and flowers. The centerpiece was a “bouquet” of envelopes addressed to me. Another reader said she Abigail Van Buren copied questions from my column, printed them out and, as a party game, asked her guests to supply the answers. (She said that after a few glasses of wine, some of the responses were hilarious, but couldn’t be printed in a family newspaper.) My cookbooklet set contains more than 100 tasty recipes, ranging from soups to salads, appetizers, main courses and desserts, that can be used when families get together to celebrate holidays and other special occasions. My mother used many of them when she host-

ed parties, as have I. To order, send your name and mailing address, plus check or money order for $14 (U.S. funds) to: Dear Abby - Cookbooklet Set, P.O. Box 447, Mount Morris, IL 61054-0447. Shipping and handling are included in the price. You will find tips on entertaining at the beginning of the first booklet. Anyone who hasn’t entertained before should be sure to read them. By following these suggestions, even the most nervous, first-time host can be confident. I know you will enjoy the recipes as much as we have and serve them with pride. THOUGHT FOR THE DAY: It’s not what you put on the table, but who you put in the chairs that makes a successful dinner party. Dear Abby is written by Abigail Van Buren, also known as Jeanne Phillips, and was founded by her mother, Pauline Phillips. Contact Dear Abby at www.DearAbby.com or P.O. Box 69440, Los Angeles, CA 90069.

Rubes

through on what you must do. If you start overthinking your words and actions, you could stall out and create a problem. You’ll need to call upon your self-discipline to complete what you must. Tonight: Get as much done as possible. CANCER (June 21-July 22) HHHHHYouseemtohaveananswer when others are flustered. Friends could be as demanding as a loved one usually is. If you don’t know how to juggle, you are doing a masterful act. A partner could become quite determined. Listen to this person’s news. Tonight: Let the fun begin. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) HHH Pressure builds where you least anticipated it would. Someone close to you, like a roommate or a partner, could be singing the blues. A problem might surround your home or an investment. Your priorities are likely to change as a result. Tonight: Happily mosey on home. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) HHHH Choose your words with care. You might not be ready for a fast change that a statement could trigger. Tap into your creativity as well as your communication skills. A loved one might be quite smitten when it comes to you. Tonight: Hang out with friends. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) HHH You might feel as if you have much to learn before you can feel competent in a certain area of your life.

Hints from Heloise

Jacqueline Bigar’s Stars A baby born today has a Sun in Taurus and a Moon in Scorpio. HAPPY BIRTHDAY for Wednesday, May 14, 2014: This year your ability to harness various perspectives will determine your success. You become more open, as well as wise, in your interpersonal relationships. If you are single, you could meet many interesting people, though most of them might not be what you desire for a long-term bond. The process of choosing the right person could be exciting. If you are attached, the two of you click as you used to. Don’t hesitate to develop a new hobby together — it can only add to your relationship. Do not try to make your sweetie agree with you; instead, respect your differences. SCORPIO often challenges 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 Optimism flows among your peers with the exception of one person. You might feel as if others are testy, especially when the issue is money! You have a lot to share, but a boss or respected associate might not listen to your ideas. Tonight: Juggle different concerns. TAURUS (April 20-May 20) HHHHH You might need to go along with someone else’s ideas and leadership, even if just for today. If you stop and think about it, both of you have the same bottom-line issue; you simply have very different approaches. Feelings run high at the moment. Tonight: Be a little wild. GEMINI (May 21-June 20) HHH Pace yourself, and follow

By Eugene Sheffer

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) HHHHYou will see a way of bypassing a problem. Be open to possibilities that you normally would not come up with on your own. You’ll see how differently others think and how there are no answers written in stone. Tonight: All smiles. The world is your oyster. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) HHH You might be keeping certain personal matters to yourself and refusing to share them. Some of you could be depressed. A risk around money will be unusually tempting, but how are you going to handle it if it should backfire? Tonight: Do something specifically for you. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) HHHH Emphasize what you want and expect from certain friends in your life. Be more upbeat in how you approach a friendship, even if the person is difficult or remote at times. For that matter, understand that you have similar moods at times. Tonight: Where the gang is. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) HHHHYou might want to take a stand and handle a personal matter far differently from how you have in the past. You’ll have your hands full with work and your personal life. A relationship likely will add highvoltage energy to your life. Tonight: Burn the midnight oil. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) HHHHH Keep seeking a different vision or a new understanding of what might be workable. A friendship is in the process of developing into a much deeper bond. Indulge a female pal who makes your life easier. Tonight: Where there is great music.

Microwave Misinformation Dear Heloise: I have been told by a friend that microwaving food depletes all the nutrients from it and makes food unhealthy. Can you please confirm if this information is accurate? — A Reader, via email Well, it actually is not accurate. Any cooking will remove some of the nutrients from the food being cooked, but microwaving is considered one of the best cooking methods for retaining nutrients. Why? Because microwaving is fast and uses less heat and smaller amounts of liquid. Here is an easy-to-understand example: cooking vegetables in water on the stovetop. We know, for example, that cooking broccoli in water will result in most antioxidants being pulled out of the broccoli and into the water during the time it takes to heat up and cook completely to the desired doneness. In the microwave, cooking for less time and using less water means less chance of nutrient loss, making the microwave a much better cooking method, nutritionally. — Heloise P.S.: Visit my website, www.Heloise. com, for links to my Facebook and Twitter pages - hints, fun facts and more! Come see photos and check out what’s happening! Send a great hint to: Heloise P.O. Box 795000 San Antonio, TX 78279-5000 Fax: 210-HELOISE Email: Heloise(at)Heloise.com
