In the news Body found floating in lake near Tyonek

TYONEK (AP) — Alaska State Troopers say a body found in a lake near Tyonek is believed to that of a man missing since late October. Troopers in a Wednesday web posting say the body was found floating in the lake Tuesday evening. The cause of death wasn’t immediately determined, but troopers say nothing suspicious was observed. The body will be sent to the State Medical Examiner’s Office in Anchorage for an autopsy. Authorities say they believe the remains are those of 45-year-old Eugene Bismark of Tyonek, who was reported missing Oct. 25. Tyonek is located on the northwest shore of Cook Inlet, about 45 miles southwest of Anchorage.

Birding festival lands on central Kenai Peninsula By RASHAH McCHESNEY Peninsula Clarion

It’s the seasons for tweeters, warblers, coo-ers, whistlers, trillers, chirpers, and peepers on the Kenai Peninsula to become the focus of hundreds of birders, amateurs and seasoned veterans alike, who visit for annual birding festival. As the festival grows, so do the activities. This year a guided tour on horseback and a performance by members of the Kenaitze Indian Tribe join the growing list of local birders and businesses eager to show off the area’s winged wonders at the Kenai Peninsula Birding Festival.

State Democrats prepare for convention By BECKY BOHRER Associated Press

JUNEAU — Don’t expect fireworks when the state Democratic Party convention gets underway in Nome on Thursday — there will be no real drama among the top-ticket races. Democrats have already endorsed U.S. Sen. Mark Begich for re-election in what is ex-

pected to be a hotly contested, nationally watched race that could decide control of the Senate. And the party has backed Byron Mallott for governor. Neither is expected to face much of a challenge during the August primary. Mallott is the scheduled keynote speaker for Saturday; Begich isn’t expected to attend in person.

Party chairman Mike Wenstrup said one of the major goals of the convention, which runs through Sunday, is to continue building the party’s grassroots network heading to the November elections. The party is stressing doorto-door campaigning “by Alaskans,” he said — drawing a contrast between the Democrats’ approach and that of Republi-

cans. The Republican National Committee has pledged an unprecedented level of investment in the state this election cycle, including field offices and precinct-level ground work. RNC co-chair Sharon Day even spoke at the GOP’s recent state convention, issuing a call for unity and engagement in a bid to win those top-tier seats. When asked if the Demo-

crats have requested help from the Democratic National Committee, Wenstrup said his party has been working hard on Begich’s re-election and building itself up for the last several years. “We don’t really need the DNC to come in and, you know, bail us out, as the RNC seems to be doing for the Republican party,” he said.

With spring coming into bloom, allergy patients have been reporting an increase in symptoms over the last few weeks, according to Dr. Kristina James, allergist at the Peninsula Allergy and Asthma Center. As seasonal temperatures rise and seasons change, pollen counts become integral information for Kenai Peninsula community members suffering from springtime allergies. When allergists know what type of pollens are present and their levels in the air, they can better advise patients on how to handle being around the allergens, James said. James said if someone is experiencing symptoms such as runny nose, itchy eyes and skin and trouble breathing to increase the dosage of their medication, or to reduce exposure. Pollen counts are higher in the morning so James recommends doing things outdoors later in the day. She also said to shower or wash hands after activities like gardening and immediately change your clothes, so pollen isn’t brought indoors. Currently there is no pollen counter set up in the central Kenai area, James said. Installing a pollen counter requires a proper site, James said. A flat roof surrounded by trees is necessary for making accurate counts, but her offices only have a flat roof. The staff at the Peninsula and Allergy and Asthma Center is currently working toward having a counter set up by next springtime,

A June 2 trial week date for Anthony Resetarits and Joseph Resetarits could be delayed again, Judge Carl Bauman said Monday at a hearing in Kenai Superior Court. At issue are delays in having iPhone brand cell phones decrypted by Apple Inc. Some iPhones seized by

Alaska State Troopers have security codes that owners haven’t provided, and for privacy reasons Apple has to process the cell phones. At a February hearing, Joseph Resetarits’ attorney, Michael Mobley, said that could take up to six months.

A public meeting on the proposed Beaver Loop Road improvement and pedestrian pathway project will take place today from 6-8 p.m. at Kenai City Hall. Representatives from the Alaska Department of Transportation and Public Facilities and consultants from Kinney Engineering will present their design plans to the public. ImC

provements being considered include widening the road’s shoulders, raising the roadway surface, constructing of a pathway off the road, replacing culverts and reconstructing ditches, according to a DOT&PF. The 3.75 mile stretch of Beaver Loop Road connects the Kenai Spur Highway and Bridge Access Road and the rehabilitation project would affect more than 100 area properties. Some electric, water and sewer utilities along the road may

have to be relocated, according to the project document. Before any recommendations are made, the public will have an opportunity to provide input and feedback on the design at the meeting. DOT is also accepting written comments during the environmental studies period and will need those turned in by June 13. For more information or to submit comments visit: www. beaverlooproad.com.

LOS ANGELES (AP) — Excessive groundwater pumping for irrigation in California’s agricultural belt can stress the San Andreas Fault, potentially increasing the risk of future small earthquakes, a new study suggests. GPS readings found parts of the San Joaquin Valley floor have been sinking for decades through gradual depletion of the aquifer while the surrounding mountains are being uplifted. This motion produces slight stress changes on the San Andreas and neighboring faults. “The magnitude of these stress changes is exceedingly small compared to the stresses relieved during a large earthquake,” lead researcher Colin Amos, a geologist at Western Washington University, said in an email. The findings were released Wednesday by the journal Nature. The study suggests that human activities “can cause significant unclamping of the nearby San Andreas Fault system” through flexing of the Earth’s crust and upper mantle, Paul Lundgren of the NASA Jet Propulsion Laboratory wrote in an accompanying editorial. Lundgren had no role in the research. In the past century, the

amount of groundwater drawn from the Central Valley for crop irrigation is equal to the volume of Lake Tahoe. The ongoing drought is expected to exacerbate the problem as communities tap groundwater faster than it can be replenished. As the valley subsides, this change in load causes the Sierra Nevada and Coast ranges to rise, according to GSP measurements taken between 2007 and 2010. Since the San Andreas runs parallel to the valley, scientists said this upward flexing of the surrounding land can trigger small quakes. However, it’s unclear whether long-term stresses from groundwater extraction have any bearing on future large earthquakes on the fault. “These earthquakes are likely to occur no matter what humans do,” Amos said. The San Andreas is the most significant fault crisscrossing California. Nearly 800 miles long, it stretches from a peninsula north of San Francisco to the Salton Sea near the U.S.Mexico border. The fault is responsible for some of the most devastating seismic disasters in state history including the 1906 San Francisco earthquake that reduced much of the city to rubble. Scientists have said a magni-

tude-7.8 event on the southern San Andreas — a so-called Big One — could kill 1,800 people and cause $200 billion in damage. For the past several years, the state has held preparedness drills designed to help residents cope with strong shaking.

Ohio teen corrals big fish on flooded street NORTH ROYALTON, Ohio (AP) — A northern Ohio teenager is reeling in attention for a big catch after he spotted a 3-foot carp swimming in receding floodwaters on his street and scooped it into his arms as his mother caught the scene on video. North Royalton resident Jake Sawyer, 16, waded through more than ankle-deep water as he stalked the big fish in the dark Monday night and eventually trapped it. First he tried to throw a towel over it to stun it. He said when that didn’t work, he tried to push it toward a curb. “I just slowly put my hand on it, and then once it got comfortable with me, I just kind of bear-hugged it and lifted it up,” he told The Associated Press on Wednesday. Sawyer said heavy rains that day had caused flash-flooding as high as his mailbox, and he suspects the large grass carp slipped out of a nearby pond as the water rose. He said he wanted to ensure the fish didn’t become trapped and die in the street, so he carried it back to the

pond. He estimates it weighed 40 pounds. “I think our only option was to put it in the pond,” he said. “I mean, I could’ve put it in my pool, but it would’ve died.” The result, he said, is one fishing tale he’ll never forget.

What Others Say

The village of Tanana needs Alaska’s support The killing of two Alaska State

Troopers last week has devastated the agency. It has brought tears and sadness to Alaskans. And it has brought unspeakable grief to the family members of the two troopers, Sgt. Patrick “Scott” Johnson and Gabriel “Gabe” Rich. It also has wrenched Tanana, a small community sitting where the Tanana River meets the powerful Yukon. Tanana, too, is a victim in this crime. And Alaskans should recognize this. Curtis Sommer, the chairman of the Tanana Tribal Council in the Native Village of Tanana, wrote a brief and moving condolence message that was published in the Daily News-Miner on Monday. In it, Mr. Sommer writes not only of Tanana’s anguish but also of its wish to distance itself from the gunman. “We wish to express our grief, tears, love and hugs that we want to give these brave officers wives and children and the rest of the Alaska State Troopers who serve urban and rural Alaska. “We want them to know that this was the action of individuals and that this was not, and is not, Tanana.” Tanana tribal leaders acted swiftly, on Tuesday to distance the community from two others who they believe played an indirect role in the deaths of the troopers, banishing the men for life. That decision was followed Wednesday by a supportive vote by the Tanana City Council. One of the men banished is Arvin Kangas, whose action against a village public safety officer on April 30 led to Sgt. Johnson and trooper Rich being sent to the village, where they were killed. Arvin Kangas’ son, Nathanial, is charged with murder in their deaths. The other man banished hasn’t had much notoriety. He is William Walsh, reportedly the leader of a group known as Athabascan Nation. The group doesn’t recognize the authority of the state government and has been in conflict with the Tanana tribal government. Tribal leaders believe Nathanial Kangas was heavily influenced by anti-authority talk from both men. Banishment is an almost unheard-of occurrence. Deciding to impose it shows just how deeply Tanana believes it, too, has been wounded. The community will heal, in time. Alaskans can help by remembering that the actions of a few people do not define an entire community. — Fairbanks Daily News-Miner, May 9

#HillaryAccomplishments

Hillary Clinton took to Twitter last week to excoriate Boko Haram’s kidnapping of 200 schoolgirls, using the now-ubiquitous hashtag #BringBackOurGirls. If there’s any natural enemy of the girl-hating, antieducation Nigerian terror group, it should be Clinton, who made promoting women’s rights around the globe her priority as secretary of state. At a forum in New York a few days after her tweet, she said the kidnapping “is abominable, it’s criminal, it’s an act of terrorism, and it really merits the fullest response possible.” Strong words. Stalwart sentiment. It sounded like the fierce denunciation of a woman who would have used every tool at her disposal to combat Boko Haram when she was in power. Except that when she had the chance, Clinton refused to designate the terror group as a terror group. Josh Rogin of The Daily Beast reported that after Boko Haram car-bombed the U.N. headquarters in Abuja in 2011, the Justice Department, the FBI and the CIA all wanted to designate the group. Clinton didn’t take them up on it. Perhaps if the dozens of dead and wounded in that suicide attack had had a hashtag devoted to them, she would have thought differently. State Department officials worried about giving Boko Haram more publicity. This is perverse, especially in retrospect. All the celebrity tweeters about the kidnapping, including the first lady, are now seeking to give Boko Haram and its latest

Letters to the Editor Sullivan didn’t want Alaskans to stand their ground Lately, I have been hearing how Dan Sullivan, the one running for U.S. Senate, has been trying to rehabilitate his record on firearms. Recently, I came across a couple of scattered comments regarding Dan Sullivan’s record that didn’t sit too well with me. The one I had to do some research on was his opposition to HB 381 in 2010, the original “Stand Your Ground” legislation written by Rep. Mark Neuman. In his letter from the Attorney General’s office, signed by Dan Sullivan dated March 15, 2010, and sent to Jay Ramras, then Chairman of the House Judiciary Committee, he stated that the “Stand Your Ground” law would “encourage unnecessary violence in our state…” even going as far as to state that the legislation would cause “unnecessary loss of life,” parroting the mantra of the “left” which claims more guns cause more crime. In particular, he brings attention to a few examples, all of which seem fitting if they came from Think Progress and not a viable Republican U.S. Senate candidate. One of his examples is as follows: Joe Smith drives to a Party. At the party he gets into an altercation and is thrown out of the party. He goes to his car and gets inside to leave. Before leaving, Mr. Smith sees the person with whom he got into the altercation. Though Mr. Smith is in his car, behind the wheel and ready to leave, he fears the other guy may come after him. Instead of driving off – which he could do with complete personal safety, he gets out of his car and grabs a shotgun from the trunk and kills the other man. Again, these are facts similar to a recent murder trial in Anchorage. The defendant was convicted of and sentenced for manslaughter. The case is now on appeal. This is yet another situation in which our current law requires our citizens to walk away if they can do so with safety, but this proposed change in the C

crime as much publicity as possible, on the assumption that it will hurt the group and help its victims. If triggering our counterterrorism laws and isolating and denying resources to terrorist groups is re- Rich Lowry ally a boon to these groups, we should reconsider our entire counterterrorism apparatus. Who knew that the most effective way to fight terrorists is to ignore them as they steadily up the ante of their violence, as Boko Haram has through the years? Former Bush-administration Ambassador to Nigeria John Campbell said on “Fox News Sunday” that he and other Nigeria experts opposed the designation because it would limit contacts with Boko Haram and thus the potential for negotiations. And who would want to pre-emptively cut an al-Qaida-linked Islamic supremacist group — devoted to the imposition of sharia law and to the murder of Christians and insufficiently zealous Muslims — out of any peace process? Clinton’s State Department did rouse itself to designate a few top Boko Haram leaders as terrorists, and finally John Kerry’s State Department got around to designating the entire group late last year. If the logic of Clinton’s defenders holds, these acts are mistakes by the U.S. government

law would authorize killing another human being instead. Mr. Sullivan, the situation you described is actually second-degree murder. In that case the “Stand Your Ground” legislation would do nothing for the defense of this straw-man victim. Another factor, if Joe Smith was in his car, presumably leaving, and the person with whom he had an altercation came out firing on Joe’s vehicle, the “Stand Your Ground” law would give the victim, Joe, the legal support to return fire if making an exit with his vehicle is not practical. That is why legislation like the Castle Law did not go far enough in allowing individual citizens to be secure in places where they had a legal right to be, and why the Legislature in 2013 and the governor made it law. It took three years to undo the damage that progressives and squishy Republicans did to get this legislation to become law. As John Coghill, R-North Pole, one of many who voted for this law, aptly put it to the Fairbanks Daily News-Miner on July 28, 2013, “People can be put in dangerous circumstances very rapidly these days; protection is one of the things that you can do… those things happen in a split second.” He is absolutely right, and you sir have missed the mark. What frustrates me the most as a citizen of Alaska is the fact that politicians such as Dan Sullivan seem to think that because the laws can be written in favor of the victim, like “Stand Your Ground,” that by immediate extension, the entire state will up for grabs, and otherwise civil Alaskans will turn into a modern day version of the “Wild West.” This type of language is eerily reminiscent of Cook County (Chicago) Sheriff Tom Dart implying that when the State of Illinois was forced to adopt a concealed carry law, Chicago would be the “Wild West.” However, since its passage there The Independent Journal Review reported three weeks ago that Chicago’s crime rates are down to 1958’s level. Certainly, Illinois has a lot of healing to do by years of draconian gun laws that gave

and bound to backfire and assist Boko Haram. They should be reconsidered if we really want to get serious about fighting the group — by once again finding ways to avoid calling it what it is. The slowness of the State Department’s designation of Boko Haram, no doubt, reflects Foggy Bottom’s general reflex toward passivity and its taste for otherworldly arguments. But the designation fiasco is nonetheless a sign of how Clinton’s lackluster tenure as secretary of state will dog her. She can’t even hit Boko Haram without it becoming an argument about how she had no tangible successes. As President Barack Obama’s top foreign-policy official, she logged nearly a million miles of travel but was otherwise an appendage of a strategy of retreat. Dean Acheson’s memoir of his time as secretary of state was called “Present at the Creation.” Hillary Clinton’s should be called, simply, “Present.” Asked at another forum recently what she considered unfinished business from her time as secretary of state, she said leadership in a democracy is a relay race where you hand off the baton to someone else. This is what someone who hasn’t done anything says to justify her lack of accomplishment. How did she handle Boko Haram? She handed off the task of designating it as a terror group to her successor.

incentives for criminals by essentially disarming the local law abiding populace. A law like “Stand Your Ground” in Alaska is a game-changer for would-be assailants, as it gives the assistance of the legal system to the would-be victim. Ultimately, what “Stand Your Ground” will do is deter many of these sorts of hostile encounters from occurring in the first place. A criminal will probably think twice about committing a violent act in the first place, knowing that actions can be taken immediately to thwart the potential antagonist from committing the crime. At this point, I urge all of you to instead say “We Need Mead Treadwell” now more than ever. If Dan Sullivan can be as wrong as he is on this issue, what else will he foist on the Alaskan people?

Peninsula Clarion, Thursday, May 15, 2014

The technology has arrived — all 12.5 ounces of it. John Parker, president and COO of Integrated Robotics Imaging Systems in Kenai, received collision avoidance radar for small drones last week. Parker said the radar is his contribution to the Federal Aviation Administration’s goal with unmanned aerial vehicles — to operate them safely in national airspace. Researchers at the University of Denver began designing the radar specifically for small UAVs or drones in 2008. In early April, Parker acquired exclusive patent rights for the technology. “Our intention is to be first

to market with this radar, and I believe we’ll be able to do that,” Parker said. “And then make it available for everybody that has an interest in this technology.” No other company in the industry has collision avoidance radar, he said. Right now the UAV industry is working with two types of systems — automatic dependant surveillance broadcast and traffic collision avoidance systems. “They only interrogate other systems that are like it,” Parker said. “In other words each plane would have to have a TCAS on it or ADSB or regular transponder. So they can’t see any aircraft or anything out there that doesn’t have that on it.” He said the radar his company now possesses can be used on virtually any small UAV to

pensations are made with programming and changing rotors’ revolutions per minute. However, the additional energy used could be used instead to fly farther and get more data. The UAV will be battery powered with a one-hour endurance. In the future Parker plans to look into powering the UAV with fuel cells and expects to extend the UAV endurance to 10 hours, if successful. Parker is working to finalize the shipping of the UAV from Infotron’s headquarters in France. Integrated Robotics, which Parker started in 2011, is also the North American distributors and manufactures representative for Infotron. During the next six to 10 months Parker will be working on the radar and drone integration. He said the key is “sense and avoid.” The plan is to develop the product so that when an object is detected, data would be transferred to a ground pilot and if the pilot didn’t change the UAV’s course, it would move itself. He will be seeking certification of the product under FAA protocols. If all goes according to plan, Parker said the radar should be finalized for market within 18 months. While Parker is unsure of how much the radar will cost, he wants to make it affordable for the UAV industry. “This is the type of technology that I believe that Alaska needs,” Parker said. A gimbal camera system made by DST Control, a Swedish company, will also become part of the UAV system. He said the camera has been shipped to Infotron to be integrated with the UAV specific to Parker’s operations.

meet FAA requirements. “This radar is the solution that all of our companies that are fielding UAVs of this type and size need,” Parker said. He plans to integrate the radar with an Infotron coaxial rotor UAV. A coaxial rotor UAV has two sets of blades, one stacked on top of the other, that spin in opposite directions. Parker said that type of rotor system makes the UAV more stable than other designs. “It’s a very stable platform and that’s what we need up here,” Parker said. “Because we’re going to fly in bad weather a lot.” He said current small UAVs have the rotors on the same Kaylee Osowski can be plain so the drone is subject reached at kaylee.osowski@ to turbulence, which changes video stability.

Don’t pick what’s hot for business idea By JOYCE M. ROSENBERG AP Business Writer

NEW YORK — Jumping on the latest hot trend seems like a sure-fire way to strike entrepreneurial gold. But while yoga studios and gluten-free bakeries may be popular, investors and business consultants say take a broader view. Trends in society, including changing demographics and technology are the best guide. Instead of joining the pack, would-be small business owners should look for a niche and fill it.

Make life easier THE OPPORTUNITY: Products or services that make life easier, particularly for the wellto-do. Businesses that deliver readyto-cook dinner ingredients or care for elderly relatives are good bets, says Brian Cohen, chairman of New York Angels, a group of investors that buy stakes in small or young companies. “Over and over again, the companies that are getting funding are serving upper-income people,” Cohen says. Think about things that are convenient, save time and are fun to use — such as dinner ingredient companies, which deliver to customers all the makings of a dish like stir-fried beef or vegetable lasagna. They offer people who like to cook the satisfaction of making a meal, without having to shop. Elder care companies, which send aides to care or do housekeeping for older or sick people, relieve the stress on family members when a parent or other relative needs full- or part-time attention. WHY NOW? The economy is growing and people have more money to spend on things that aren’t necessities. As for elder care, people are living longer and are more likely to need help. ENTREPRENEUR BEWARE: There’s already a lot of competition. Two companies, Blue Apron and Plated, already deliver dinner ingredients to a

foods, estimated at $10.5 billion in 2013, is expected to grow to more than $15 billion by 2016, according to market research company Mintel. But rather than trying to come up with a product like another gluten-free muffin, consider a business that supports or services the gluten-free industry, says Dwight Richmond, a purchasing executive at Whole Foods, the grocery chain. One example: a company that creates gluten-free ingredients like Penford Corp., based in Centennial Colorado. It makes tapioca and other ingredients used in glutenfree food. “The people thriving are the ones who find new and better ways to innovate,” Richmond says. A product that gives consumers the information they about their food may also Stand out from the food want be a good choice. Investor Alicrowd cia Syrett bought a stake in a THE OPPORTUNITY: Or- company that makes high-end ganic, natural and gluten-free muffin and cake mixes, Cisse Trading. She likes that it allows foods. The market for gluten-free people to go online and research large part of the country. And home-care businesses abound. BEEN THERE, DOING THAT: Jen Collins Moore started Chicago-based Meez Meals, which delivers ready-to-cook ingredients to consumers, in 2010. She realized there was a demand for an ingredient delivery service when she worked with focus groups of women at a consumer products company. The women wanted to cook but didn’t have time to do all the work. She started her business before Blue Apron and Plated, but isn’t worried about the competition; unlike Moore’s rivals, Meez Meals delivers food that’s already cut up and chopped, saving customers time. “We do it differently. We do the prep work,” Moore says.

its ingredients and where they come from. “Consumers want transparency. They want to know, what are we putting in our bodies?” says Syrett, CEO of Pantegrion Capital, an angel investment firm. WHY NOW? About 3 million people in the U.S. have celiac disease, an intolerance for gluten. Millions of others have food allergies. Many people are concerned about food additives like hormones and chemicals and foods that have been genetically modified. Others want what are called fair trade foods, produced by companies that treat their workers and the environment well. ENTREPRENEUR BEWARE: By the time many would-be entrepreneurs grab hold of an idea, the field could be packed, says Dennis Ceru, adjunct professor of entrepreneurship at Babson College and a business consultant. “The most hot trend is probably at least at its midpoint,” he says.

Wildfire burns homes in San Diego County CARLSBAD, Calif. (AP) — Flames engulfed suburban homes and shot up along canyon ridges in one of the worst of several blazes that broke out Wednesday in Southern California during a second day of a sweltering heat wave, taxing fire crews who fear the scattered fires mark only the beginning of a long wildfire season. Thick black smoke darkened blue skies over the Pacific coast city of Carlsbad, about 30 miles north of San Diego, known for its Legoland California amusement park. The park was closed Wednesday because of a power outage caused by the fire. At least two firefighters suffered minor injuries — one heat-related and one from smoke inhalation — since Tuesday. Thousands were asked to evacuate their homes in Carlsbad after the blaze erupted at about 10:34 a.m. Wednesday and spread through rapidly heavy brush before jumping into residential areas. Despite a state fire report of 30 homes burned earlier in

the day, Carlsbad Fire Chief Michael Davis said he knows of just three homes destroyed and about a dozen damaged, all of them in the same neighborhood. The wind-driven wildfire tossed embers onto roofs and trees, igniting them. Firefighters found themselves evacuating people and battling the blaze at the same time, Nick Schuler of Cal Fire said. He said the fire’s forward spread had been stopped, but hotspots remain. More than 50 engines are coming in from around the state to help in San Diego County. “There’s days of work to be done” before the fire is doused, Davis said, adding that “this fire’s fingered in all locations.” A steady stream of residents stopped at a roadblock on a four-lane thoroughfare as they tried to return home to collect valuables. Richard Sanchez watched nervously as a plume of black smoke rose near his home. He had left his house an hour earlier in sandals to run an errand.

Around the Nation Boy survives 11-story fall from Minnesota building MINNEAPOLIS — A young boy who survived an 11-story fall from a Minneapolis high-rise has been dubbed “the miracle baby” and was recovering in a hospital Wednesday. Fifteen-month-old Musa Dayib suffered a broken spine and ribs as well as a concussion and a punctured lung. Musa’s relatives believe he slipped through the railing of his family’s apartment balcony Sunday evening. The boy was in critical but stable condition Wednesday, Hennepin County Medical Center spokeswoman Christine Hill said.

Trial of Tampa mom in teens’ deaths winds down TAMPA, Fla. — Two psychiatrists testifying for the prosecution Wednesday in the murder trial of a Tampa woman accused of killing her two teenage children told a jury that the former military wife was sane at the time of the shootings, contradicting several defense experts who have contended she was not in control of what she was doing. Julie Schenecker, a 53-year-old former military wife, is on trial in Hillsborough County Court. She’s been charged with two counts of first-degree murder in the deaths of Calyx, her 16-year-old daughter and Beau, her 13-year-old son. The teens were shot to death while her now ex-Army officer husband was on a 10-day deployment to the Middle East. Wednesday was the seventh day of testimony with prosecutors presenting three health experts as rebuttal witnesses. All said she had a plan to kill the teens. Closing arguments were set for Thursday. Schenecker’s fate hinges on whether jurors believe she knew what she was doing when the teenagers were shot. If convicted of first-degree murder, Julie Schenecker would receive a life sentence, since prosecutors chose not to seek the death penalty. If acquitted by reason of insanity, to which she is pleading, she would be committed to a hospital until she is no longer a danger to herself or others. – The Associated Press

“All I want to do is get there and evacuate,” said Sanchez. “We have a plan, but I can’t execute it.” As authorities yelled “Please evacuate!” in Joe Post’s Carlsbad neighborhood, he grabbed a garden hose and doused a palm tree in flames between his home and his neighbor’s. He debated about leaving his home but was worried what he might find upon returning. “Work water work!” he shouted, spraying down charred landscaping near his home. Three elementary schools were evacuated and expected to remain closed for the week. The students were among thousands in the area of north San Diego County who were told to evacuate because of various wildfires. Another wildfire further north forced the evacuation of residents in military housing at Camp Pendleton, and the closure of an elementary school on the Marine Corps base. A third fire spread from a burning vehicle on coastal Interstate 5 to roadside brush near

the northwest corner of the Marine base. Authorities reported 50 percent containment of a 2.42-square-mile fire that broke out Tuesday and forced thousands of people to flee the Rancho Bernardo area of San Diego. In Santa Barbara County, a 600-acre blaze near Lompoc was 50 percent contained. State fire officials say triple digit temperatures and the drought were setting condi-

tions for an unusually busy firefighting season. Evacuation orders were lifted for all of the more than 20,000 residents in and around San Diego on Tuesday night just a few hours after they were called, and all but a handful of those in 1,200 homes and businesses told to evacuate in Santa Barbara County had been allowed to return. The Santa Barbara County blaze, 250 miles to the northwest, was 50 percent contained

Wednesday. Firefighters also adjusted its size downward to 600 acres. In the mountains of southwestern New Mexico, crews battling a 9-square mile wildfire are preparing for high winds this week. And in the Texas Panhandle, about 2,100 residents have started returning to their homes after wildfire burned at least 156 structures. The fire in the Fritch area was 85 percent contained Wednesday.

Idaho scrambling over gay marriage ban ruling BOISE, Idaho (AP) — A federal judge’s decision to allow same-sex marriages in Idaho starting Friday has attorneys for the state scrambling to appeal and gay rights advocates planning their next steps. U.S. District Magistrate Judge Candy Dale overturned Idaho’s ban on same-sex marriages Tuesday, and on Wednesday she refused to put pending marriages on hold while Gov. C.L. “Butch” Otter and Attorney General Lawrence Wasden appeal. Otter and Wasden both asked the 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals for an emergency stay while they fight the lower court’s ruling. “My job now is to ensure our state’s voice is heard loud and clear on appeal, and that Idaho’s right to self-determination is not further undermined,” Otter said in a prepared statement. Matrimonial law expert Seymour J. Reisman said the appellate court is likely to issue the stay, and the U.S. Supreme Court is almost certain to take up the matter. But with several other states appealing rulings similar to the one handed down in Idaho, it’s anyone’s guess which state’s case the high court will consider, said Reisman, a partner in the New York law firm Reisman Peirez Reisman and Capobianco

LLP. “You can’t just have different states having different laws all over the place,” he said. “Nobody knows where they can live, what they can do.” After the ruling, the Idaho Republican Party issued a statement reaffirming the organization’s stance against same-sex marriage, and contending that the Tenth Amendment gives states the power to regulate and define marriage. “The disintegration of marriage will lead to the disintegration of our society,” Idaho GOP Chairman Barry Peterson said in a prepared statement. Gay couples who choose to get Idaho marriage licenses Friday are still open to housing and employment discrimination, noted former state Sen. Nicole LeFavour, Idaho’s first openly gay lawmaker and a leader of the “Add the Words” campaign. “Add the Words” has become the catchphrase for amending Idaho’s Human Rights Act to include protection from discrimination based on sexual orientation and gender identity. The amendment change has been proposed for the past several years but has never received a full committee hearing in the Legislature. “On Friday, if people go out and get married and their announcement is in the paper,

there is a chance they’ll get fired or lose their housing,” LeFavour said. “For some people, they can’t take that risk, so they won’t be able to take advantage of this new opportunity.” She said state lawmakers previously denied giving the campaign a hearing because they feared it would be a “slippery slope” toward allowing gay marriage in Idaho. Now that a federal judge has cleared that hurdle, legislators can no longer use that as an excuse, she said. Senate President Pro Tem Brent Hill said it was too early to determine if Dale’s ruling would lead to a hearing on amending the state’s Human Rights Act. “I just think there are a lot of things that will transpire between now and then that could certainly affect legislative attitudes,” Hill said. “For some, maybe it means they dig their heels in deeper. For others, it wasn’t about housing or employment. It was about samesex marriage. Now that that’s settled, it may be no big deal.” Reisman said the federal judge’s decision to toss out Idaho’s gay marriage ban could make it easier for people to bring a lawsuit over the Idaho Human Rights Act. A plaintiff could claim lawmakers’ failure to include protections for gay or transgender people in the act is a violation of the 14th Amend-

ment’s equal protection clause, he said. The nation’s highest court last year found that the 1996 Defense of Marriage Act, which barred the federal government from recognizing same-sex marriage, deprived gay couples of due process. Gay rights activists have since won multiple lower-court cases, and many legal observers say they expect the Supreme Court eventually will rule that gays can marry in every state. So far, gay marriage is legal in 17 states and the District of Columbia. Dale’s ruling ending the ban came in response to a lawsuit against the governor and Ada County Clerk Chris Rich brought by four same-sex couples. The judge said the ban unconstitutionally denies gay and lesbian couples their fundamental right to marry, and wrongly stigmatizes their families. Also Wednesday, a federal judge ruled a national group cannot defend Oregon’s samesex marriage ban after the state’s attorney general refused to do so. U.S. District Judge Michael McShane denied the motion to intervene from the National Organization for Marriage. The decision paves the way for a ruling on the constitutionality of Oregon’s same-sex marriage ban, which could come at any time.

274 dead in Turkey’s worst-ever mine disaster By DESMOND BUTLER Associated Press

SOMA, Turkey — Amid wails of grief and anger, rescue workers coated in grime trudged repeatedly out of a coal mine Wednesday with stretchers of bodies that swelled the death toll to 274 — the worst such disaster in Turkish history. Hopes faded for 150 others still trapped deep underground in smoldering tunnels filled with toxic gases. Anti-government protests broke out in the mining town of Soma, as well as Istanbul and the capital, Ankara, with Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan heckled as he tried to show concern. Protesters shouted “Murderer!” and “Thief!” and Erdogan was forced to seek refuge in a supermarket, surrounded by police. The display of anger could have significant repercussions for the Turkish leader, who is widely expected to run for president in the August election, although he has not yet announced his candidacy. Tensions were high as hundreds of relatives and miners jostled outside the mine’s entrance Wednesday, waiting for news amid a heavy police presence. Rows of women wailed uncontrollably and men knelt sobbing or simply stared in disbelief as

rescue workers removed body after body, some charred beyond recognition. One elderly man wearing a prayer cap wailed after he recognized one of the dead, and police had to restrain him from climbing into an ambulance with the body. An injured rescue worker who emerged alive was whisked away on a stretcher to the cheers of onlookers. Energy Minister Taner Yildiz said 787 people were inside the coal mine at the time of Tuesday’s explosion: 274 died and 363 were rescued, including scores who were injured. The death toll topped a 1992 gas explosion that killed 263 workers near Turkey’s Black Sea port of Zonguldak. It also left 150 miners still unaccounted for. Yildiz said rescue workers were trying late Wednesday to reach the bodies of up to 22 people trapped in one zone. Some of the workers were 1,400 feet (420 meters) deep inside the mine, he said. One rescue worker who declined to be named said he led a 10-man team about a half-mile down into the mine’s tunnels, where they recovered three bodies before being forced to flee because of smoke from burning coal. Rescue operations were halted for several hours into Thursday morning because high gas concentrations in the mine

saying: “These types of things in mines happen all the time.” “These are ordinary things. There is a thing in literature called ‘work accident’... It happens in other work places, too,” Erdogan said. “It happened here. It’s in its nature. It’s not possible for there to be no accidents in mines. Of course we were deeply pained by the extent here.” In this industrial town, where coal mining has been the main industry for decades, Erdogan’s ties to mining leaders were vehemently noted. Townspeople said the wife of the Soma mine’s boss works for Erdogan’s party and the boss himself had skipped town. “They are trying to look like they care, but they are not helping anyone. There is no urgency, even now. People blame Tayyip,” Nergiz said. In downtown Soma, protesters, most in their teens and 20s, faced off against riot police in front of the ruling NKP party headquarters, smashing its windows with rocks. “Our prime minister is a dictator,” said 16-year-old Melih Atik. “Neither the government nor the company took precautions in the mine, and everyone knows that’s why this happened.” Erdogan has been dogged by corruption allegations and was forced to oust four government

Rows of open graves for the mine accident victims are seen in Soma, Turkey, Wednesday. A violent protest erupted Wednesday in the Turkish city of Soma, where at least 274 coal miners have died after a mine explosion. Many in the crowd expressed anger at Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan’s government. Rocks were being thrown and some people were shouting that Erdogan was a “Murderer!” and a “Thief!”

ministers in December after they were implicated in a police bribery probe. The scandal deepened after audio recordings were posted on the Internet suggesting corruption by the prime minister and his family members. Erdogan denies the allegations and says they are a plot to discredit his government. In Istanbul, hundreds of demonstrators gathered outside the headquarters of mine owner Soma Komur Isletmeleri A.S. Police used tear gas and water

cannon to break up a group who tried to march to the city’s iconic Taksim Square to denounce poor safety conditions. Police also dispersed a group marching to the energy ministry in Ankara to protest the deaths. Fences were erected and police stood guard outside Soma’s hospital, where scores of the injured were being treated. Some residents said the men were being pressured by the mining company not to talk about the blast.

needed to be cleared. The last miner rescued alive emerged from the mine around dawn and the first burials took place later Wednesday. Giza Nergiz, a 28-year-old English teacher, said some of the victims had complained about safety at the mine. “We buried three of our high school friends today,” she said, walking with her husband Onur Nergiz, a 30-year-old mine administrator. “A lot of people were complaining about safety, but nobody (in management) was doing anything about it.” Erdogan declared three days of national mourning and postponed a trip to Albania to visit the mine in Soma, 155 miles (250 kilometers) south of Istanbul. He warned that some radical groups would try to use the disaster to discredit his government. “Our hope is that, God willing, they will be brought out,” Erdogan said of those still trapped. “That is what we are waiting for.” Yet his efforts to show compassion — discussing rescue operations with authorities, walking near the mine entrance, trying to comfort two crying women — did not always go over well. At a news conference, he tried to deflect a question about who was responsible for the disaster,

KIEV, Ukraine — European-backed peace talks on ending Ukraine’s crisis began with little promise Wednesday when pro-Russian insurgents — who weren’t even invited to the session — demanded that the Kiev government recognize their sovereignty. The “road map” put forth by the Organization for Security and Cooperation in Europe calls for national dialogue as a first step toward resolving the escalating tensions, in which the insurgents have seized government buildings in eastern Ukraine and declared independence, while government forces have mounted limited offensives to retake control of the region. But instead of a dialogue, the day was more a case of competing monologues, with the two sides as far apart as ever. Denis Pushilin, a leader of the insurgency in the city of Donetsk, said his faction was not invited to the governmentorganized roundtable in Kiev, and that the “talks with Kiev authorities could only be about one thing: the recognition of the Donetsk People’s Republic.” Acting President Oleksandr Turchynov said in his opening remarks at the Kiev talks that authorities were “ready for a dialogue,” but insisted they will not talk to the pro-Russia gunmen, which the government has denounced as “terrorists.”

Judge in Oscar Pistorius murder trial rules athlete should undergo psychiatric evaluation PRETORIA, South Africa — Oscar Pistorius will undergo psychiatric evaluation after the judge ruled at his murder trial Wednesday that his state of mind when he killed his girlfriend should be assessed by experts, possibly delaying court proceedings for two months. The ruling was prompted by testimony by a psychiatrist on behalf of the defense that the double-amputee Olympic athlete has generalized anxiety disorder and that this may have influenced his judgment when he fatally shot Reeva Steenkamp through a toilet door in his home on Feb. 14, 2013. The chief prosecutor, Gerrie Nel, then requested psychiatric testing — a move opposed by Pistorius’ chief lawyer. Judge Thokozile Masipa agreed with the prosecutor, saying it was important to independently assess Pistorius’ state of mind because the defense might now argue that he was not criminally responsible for the shooting because of his anxiety disorder. “The accused may not have raised the issue that he was not criminally responsible at the time of the incident in so many words, but evidence led on his behalf clearly raised the issue and cannot be ignored,” the judge said. Pistorius will likely be evaluated by a panel of psychiatrists at a government facility. — The Associated Press

BAUCHI, Nigeria — Islamic militants again attacked the remote Nigerian town from which nearly 300 schoolgirls were kidnapped, Nigeria’s military said Wednesday, resulting in a firefight that killed 12 soldiers and led angry troops to fire on a commanding officer. Soldiers said the troops fired at a senior officer who came to pay respects to the killed soldiers, whose bodies were brought to a barracks in Maiduguri, the capital of northeastern Borno state. It’s another sign of demoralization in the military that is in charge of the search for the abducted schoolgirls. The failure of Nigeria’s government and military to find them after the April 15 mass abduction has triggered national and international outrage and forced Nigeria’s government to accept international help last week. Nigeria’s Ministry of Defense played down Wednesday’s shooting incident, saying soldiers “registered their anger about the incident by firing into the air. The situation has since been brought under control, as there is calm in the cantonment” in Maiduguri, about 130 kilometers north of Chibok, where the girls were abducted. But soldiers who were at the scene at Mailamari Barracks said infuriated troopers fired directly at the vehicle carrying Maj. Gen. Ahmadu Mohammed, the general officer commanding the army’s 7 Division. He was not hit. The witnesses said the soldiers were angry because they wanted to spend the night in a village and told their command the road was dangerous

after the attack around Chibok. They were ordered to travel instead and were ambushed, with at least 12 killed. The soldiers spoke on condition of anonymity because they want to keep their jobs. The Ministry of Defense, which often exaggerates the number of enemy killed and downplays its own losses, said four soldiers were killed along with several insurgents. “Troops engaged the insurgents in a fierce combat and extricated themselves from the ambush killing several insurgents. Four soldiers however lost their lives during the ambush,” said a statement from the ministry spokesman, Maj. Gen. Chris Olukolade. There is growing anger at the military’s failures, though soldiers have told The Associated Press that they are outgunned and outnumbered by the insurgents, don’t have bullet-proof

vests, are not properly paid and have to forage for food. A sign of their failure is the vigilante groups to fight the extremists that have been springing up in northeast Nigeria over the past year. In Kalabalge, a village about 250 kilometers (155 miles) from Maiduguri, residents took matters into their own hands. On Tuesday morning, after learning about an impending attack, villagers ambushed two trucks with gunmen, residents and a security official told The Associated Press. At least 10 suspected militants were detained, and scores were killed, the official said, speaking on condition of anonymity because he is not authorized to give interviews to journalists. It was not immediately clear where the detainees were being held. Kalabalge trader Ajid Musa said that after residents organized the vigilante group, “it is

impossible” for militants to successfully stage attacks there. Earlier this year in other parts of Borno, extremists launched more attacks in retaliation over the vigilante groups. Borno is one of three Nigerian states where President Goodluck Jonathan has imposed a state of emergency, giving the military special powers to fight the Islamic extremist group, whose stronghold is in Maiduguri. Britain and the U.S. are now actively involved in the effort to rescue the missing schoolgirls. U.S. Attorney General Eric Holder said FBI agents and a hostage negotiating team are in Nigeria now, providing technology and other materials and working with “our Nigerian counterparts to be as helpful as we possibly can.” U.S. reconnaissance aircraft are flying over Nigeria in search of the missing girls.

Heat, Spurs on to NBA conference finals Miami and San Antonio cruise to 4-1 series triumphs, eliminating Brooklyn and Portland in semis TIM REYNOLDS AP Basketball Writer

MIAMI (AP) — LeBron James leaped onto a courtside table as the postgame celebration was starting, thumped his chest and punched the air. Next stop: The Eastern Conference finals. Again. James scored 29 points, Dwyane Wade added 28 and Ray Allen delivered two huge plays in the final seconds as the Heat rallied to beat the Brooklyn Nets 96-94 on Wednesday night, winning the second-round matchup 4-1. “It’s always been like that for us,” James said. “It’s never easy. It’s never easy for us.” Sure looks easy, though. It was the 10th straight series win for the twotime defending NBA champions. “When we met the first day for prep we said the No. 1 key, overwhelmingly the No. 1 key in this series, was great

mental stability,” Heat coach Erik Spoelstra said. “That’s what it was down the stretch ... incredible focus.” Incredible defense, too, when it was needed most. Down by eight with less than five minutes left, the Heat forced Brooklyn into nine straight missed shots while peeling off a 12-0 run to take the lead. Allen’s 3-pointer off an assist by Mario Chalmers with 32 seconds remaining was the go-ahead moment, and the Heat wouldn’t trail again. Allen disrupted Joe Johnson’s dribble on the game’s final play, James then swiped the ball out of everyone’s reach, time expired — and the Heat advanced. “Give the Heat credit,” Nets coach Jason Kidd said. “They were attacking there in the fourth quarter. We were attacking. Both teams were attacking. They made plays, they made shots and we didn’t.” Chris Bosh scored 16 and Allen finished with 13 for Miami. Johnson had

34 points, Paul Pierce scored 19 and Deron Williams had 17 for the Nets. It’s the sixth trip to the East title series in the last 10 seasons for Miami, which is bidding for a fourth straight trip to the NBA Finals — something only the Lakers and Celtics franchises have accomplished. James is heading to the East finals for the sixth time in eight seasons, the first two of those trips coming with Cleveland in 2007 and 2009. The Heat will next face either fifthseeded Washington or top-seeded Indiana. The Pacers lead that series 3-2, one win away from setting up a rematch with Miami that seemed like an absolute certainty for much of the season. “Obviously, we thought this was a game we should have won,” Johnson said. Brooklyn led 49-42 at the half, with Miami missing 15 of its first 16 tries from 3-point range. The Nets closed the half on an 8-0 run and the lone

bright spot in the opening 24 minutes for Miami was Wade, who had 20 points — more than any other two players to that point combined — on 7-for-12 shooting. “He has a way, right? He’s a playoff warrior,” Spoelstra said. SPURS 104, TRAILBLAZERS 82 SAN ANTONIO (AP) — Danny Green and Kawhi Leonard each scored 22 points, and the San Antonio Spurs overcame an injury to Tony Parker to close out the Western Conference semifinals with a 104-82 victory over the Portland Trail Blazers on Wednesday night. Patty Mills scored 18 points and Tim Duncan had 16 points and eight rebounds for San Antonio, which had four blowout victories in the five-game series. It’s the third straight conference finals appearance for San Antonio, which lost a heartbreaking sevengame series to the Miami Heat in last

season’s NBA Finals. San Antonio, which had the NBA’s best record, will await the winner of the series between Oklahoma City and the Los Angeles Clippers. The Thunder have a 3-2 lead. LaMarcus Aldridge had 21 points for Portland, while Damian Lillard added 17 points and 10 assists. The Trail Blazers’ bench contributed only seven points compared to 40 by the Spurs’ reserves. After playing with various injuries throughout last postseason, the Spurs had been healthy in these playoffs until Wednesday. Parker, who missed 13 games during the regular season, exited in the first half with tightness in his left hamstring. After returning to the court with 9:46 remaining in the second quarter, Parker left the game exactly a minute later. He headed back to the locker room followed closely by San Antonio general manager R.C. Buford and team physician, Dr. Paul Saenz.

Canadiens top Bruins in game 7 Old rivalry sees Montreal beat Boston again in conference semis BOSTON (AP) — Even as the Montreal Canadiens swept through the opening round of the playoffs — their first postseason series victory in four years — they knew that a more difficult challenge was next. The Boston Bruins. Their Original Six rival. The defending Eastern Conference champions and the NHL’s top team in the regular season. “That’s our measuring stick,” forward Max Pacioretty said after the Canadiens beat the Bruins 3-1 in Game 7 of the Eastern Conference semifinals on Wednesday night. “There’s always been that rivalry, and that bad feeling between Boston and Montreal.

Not just between the cities, but in the rooms, too.” Pacioretty scored the winner, and Carey Price made 29 saves to give the Canadiens a spot in the conference finals against the New York Rangers. Game 1 will be in Montreal on Saturday, with the rest of the schedule to be announced. It’s just the second time since winning their NHLbest 24th Stanley Cup title in 1993 that the Canadiens have reached the third round of the playoffs. “You have an opportunity to get one step closer to the Stanley Cup,” said Montreal defenseman P.K. Subban, the team’s leading scorer in these

playoffs. “We deserve it. We played hard. Nothing has come easy for us all year.” Dale Weise and Daniel Briere also scored for the Canadiens, who needed a win in Game 6 on Monday night to force the series to a seventh game. They beat Boston 4-0, then came to the TD Garden and Price dominated the Bruins again. KINGS 2, DUCKS 1 LOS ANGELES (AP) — Trevor Lewis scored his fourth goal of the postseason, Jonathan Quick made 21 saves, and the Los Angeles Kings forced a seventh game in the Freeway Faceoff series with a 2-1 victory over the

Anaheim Ducks in Game 6 on Wednesday night. Jake Muzzin scored an early goal for the Kings, who ended their three-game skid with another sturdy defensive effort at home. Los Angeles improved to 6-1 in postseason elimination games over the last two seasons while beating Ducks goalie John Gibson for the first time in his sixgame NHL career. Kyle Palmieri scored and Gibson stopped 21 shots for the top-seeded Ducks, who missed the chance to clinch their first trip to the Western Conference finals since 2007. Game 7 is Friday night at Honda Center. The winner will head to the conference final that begins Sunday.

MILWAUKEE (AP) — Backup catcher Chris Stewart’s single keyed a three-run burst in the ninth inning against Francisco Rodriguez and sent the Pittsburgh Pirates past Milwaukee 4-1 Wednesday night, ending the Brewers’ three-game winning streak. Rodriguez (1-1) had given up only one run in 21 innings in his first 21 games. But the Pirates tagged the Milwaukee closer for four consecutive hits to beat the Brewers for only the second time in nine games. Milwaukee managed only six hits and went 0 for 7 with runners in scoring position minus Carlos Gomez. The star center fielder dropped his appeal Wednesday and began a three-game suspension for his part in a bench-clearing fracas at Pittsburgh on Easter Sunday. Stewart, making only his eighth start of the season, singled for a 2-1 lead. Starling Marte, playing for the first time since exiting Saturday with tightness in his back, then hit a two-run double.

Browns limiting Manziel Kerr, Van Gundy land

BEREA, Ohio (AP) — The Browns are tackling Manzielmania. Containing it could be a lot tougher. In an effort to minimize the frenzy around quarterback Johnny Manziel, the Browns are limiting media access to the first-round draft pick’s appearance this weekend at the team’s rookie minicamp. The Browns are only allowing only local reporters — and maybe some select national ones — to be at the former Texas A&M star’s first practice as an NFL player. The Browns selected Manziel in last week’s draft, and already the 21-year-old has brought long-sought attention to a sleeping franchise that has had just two winning seasons in the past 15 years. It’s not clear what criteria the Browns are using to determine who is allowed into the

workouts. Since drafting Manziel, college football’s biggest star, the team has been inundated with interview requests. Beyond that, the Browns have sold nearly 3,000 season-ticket packages and Manziel’s No. 2 jersey is the most coveted fashion item in town. The Browns have altered their practice availability in recent days. After originally saying Saturday’s practice would be open, reporters and photographers will now only watch the first 15 minutes when players do stretching exercises and individual drills. Also, first-year Browns coach Mike Pettine has decided to close Sunday’s practice to the media. Pettine has experience with media mayhem. He was on New York’s coaching staff when the Jets acquired quarterback Tim Tebow and he wants

the Browns to get out in front of any potential problems. “We have a plan for that,” Pettine said of handling the hype around Manziel. “We know it will bring a lot of attention. We’ll be in the business of controlling what we can control.” It won’t be as easy for the Browns to handle things during summer training camp, which will be open to the public and the team’s training facility will be swarmed upon by fans. The Browns are doing all they can to keep Manziel from thinking he’s the Browns’ savior. Earlier this week, owner Jimmy Haslam said the team has told Manziel not to expect anything other than a chance to compete for the starting job. If he wants to be Cleveland’s No. 1 quarterback, he’ll have to beat out Brian Hoyer. C

NBA coaching spots

OAKLAND, Calif. (AP) — The Golden State Warriors are taking another chance on a television analyst and former NBA guard who has never been a head coach at any level. The Warriors won the bidding war with the New York Knicks for Steve Kerr on Wednesday, hiring him away from the TNT broadcast table to be their coach. Kerr agreed to a fiveyear, $25 million deal with Golden State, said his agent, Mike Tannenbaum. The Warriors confirmed the agreement Wednesday night and said they will introduce Kerr at a news conference after the contract is complete. Kerr had been in talks with the Knicks about becoming their coach since Phil Jackson took over as team president in March. He won three titles playing for Jackson in Chicago and another two under Gregg Popovich in San Antonio. Kerr told NBA.com, which first reported

the agreement, that going to Golden State “just felt like the right move on many levels.” He said his daughter plays volleyball nearby at the University of California, Berkeley, his oldest son is in college in San Diego and his youngest son is a junior in high school.

Van Gundy gets Pistons job AUBURN HILLS, Mich. (AP) — The Detroit Pistons are counting on Stan Van Gundy to bring some much-needed stability to a struggling franchise. They’re certainly giving him plenty of authority. The Pistons officially announced Van Gundy’s hiring Wednesday as their new coach and president of basketball operations. The team will introduce Van Gundy at a news conference Thursday. Detroit went 29-53 last season, missing the playoffs for a fifth straight year.

A.J. Burnett (2-3) labored through five innings, allowing three runs and seven hits. He struck out six and walked five.

YANKEES 4, METS 0 NEW YORK (AP) — Masahiro Tanaka pitched a four-hitter for his first major league shutout and the Yankees got home runs from Yangervis Solarte and Mark Teixeira at Citi Field. Brian Roberts tripled twice and the Yankees finally beat their crosstown rivals after dropping six straight. The Mets took all four Subway Series games last year and won two slugfests in the Bronx this week. Tanaka (6-0) overwhelmed the Mets with his vast assortment of pitches while spoiling Rafael Montero’s major league debut. Montero (01) threw six competitive innings but was no match for the $155 million rookie from Japan.

RED SOX 9, TWINS 4 MINNEAPOLIS (AP) — David Ortiz homered twice for the second straight game and the Boston Red Sox beat the Minnesota Twins 9-4 on Wednesday night. Big Papi went 3 for 5 with two RBIs, one night after a four-hit performance against his former team. Both of his homeruns — off Kevin Correia (1-5) in the third and Caleb Theilbar in the fifth — traveled more than 400 feet into the rightfield upper deck at Target Field, where he’s batting .528 (28 of 53) in 13 career games.

WHITE SOX 4, ATHLETICS 2 OAKLAND, Calif. (AP) — Jose Abreu hit a three-run homer in the eighth inning to help Chicago snap a four-game losing streak. Gordon Beckham homered on the first pitch of the game for the White Sox, who rallied against Oakland’s bullpen to end a sevengame losing streak at the Coliseum. John Jaso and Josh Donaldson hit solo homers off Andre Rienzo for the Athletics.

TIGERS 7, ORIOLES 5 BALTIMORE (AP) — Rajai Davis homered, and Detroit overcame a rare shaky performance by Justin Verlander to complete a three-game sweep.

A-9

The Tigers have won 12 of their last 15 games, including eight in a row on the road. Baltimore has lost four straight. Verlander (5-2) allowed a season-high five runs on six hits with four strikeouts and three walks in six innings. He still improved to 7-0 in eight outings at Camden Yards. But it was the first time in 15 games a Detroit starter allowed more than three runs. Davis hit his third home run and had two RBIs for the Tigers.

RAYS 2, MARINERS 0 SEATTLE (AP) — Jake Odorizzi pitched one-hit ball for six innings, but the Tampa Bay Rays lost All-Star Ben Zobrist in a win. Zobrist dislocated his left thumb on a headfirst slide while trying to steal second base in the fifth. The valuable all-purpose player jammed himself into the bag after being tagged out, walked off the field holding his hand and later had his thumb adjusted back into place.

INDIANS 15, BLUE JAYS 4 TORONTO (AP) — David Murphy had five hits and five RBIs and Lonnie Chisenhall had five hits and an RBI and Cleveland beat Toronto. Corey Kluber (4-3) pitched seven innings to win consecutive starts for the first time this season, and Carlos Santana and Yan Gomes homered as the Indians set season-highs with 22 hits and 15 runs in winning for the sixth time in eight games.

ASTROS 5, RANGERS 4 HOUSTON (AP) — Matt Dominguez hit an RBI single off the right-field wall in the ninth inning and Houston won a series against their in-state rivals for the first time since 2008. The Astros took two of three after losing 15 straight series to the Rangers. Houston overcame a four-run deficit to win. Dexter Fowler singled with one out in the ninth, Jason Castro drew a walk and Dominguez hit a long fly ball off Nick Martinez (0-1).

ROYALS 3, ROCKIES 2 KANSAS CITY, Mo. (AP) — Mike Moustakas hit a three-run double in the second inning, and Jason Vargas and Kansas City bullpen made it stand up. Vargas (4-1) did not allow a hit until the fourth inning and did not allow a run until Drew Stubbs belted a two-run homer in the seventh.

. . . Pollen Continued from page A-1

Pollen levels also depend on the amount of certain flora present in the area, Schlapia said. For example, Fairbanks has more aspen trees than Anchorage. Birch trees release pollen in mid to late May, while alder pollen is present in late May to late June, and spruce pollen occurs in early June to mid July, all of which are common to the central Kenai Peninsula, James said. As the summer progresses, grass pollen is widespread in late June to late July, and weed pollen increases from late June to late August, according to the Anchorage Pollen and Mold Reporting Calendar. Mold pollen is present over the longest period, from late June until late September. According to Anchorage Department of Health and Human Services data, pollen releases are often preceded by warm weather, and Alaska is warming up. Temperatures have been pushing into the 60s in recent days. No health advisory notifications are in currently in effect. Notifications are issued whenever air pollution levels reach or are predicted to reach unhealthy levels, have not issued currently, according to the Anchorage Department of Health and Human Services.

she said. For now, James relies on pollen counts issued from the Anchorage Municipal Department of Health and Human Services Air Quality Reports. According to the Alaska Department of Health and Human Services, 10 to 20 percent of the population suffers form allegoric rhinitis or “hay fever.” Pollen counts will vary from Anchorage to Kenai, said Anne Schlapia, the air quality project manager at the Municipal Department of Health and Human Services. Pollen counts will also vary from day to day. For example in Anchorage on Friday, the tree pollen count was 2,862 grains per cubic meter of air, and on Tuesday, only 585-grains per cubic meter of air were found, according to the Anchorage Pollen and Mold Reporting Air Quality Program. Anything above 1,500 is considered high for tree pollen counts, Schlapia said. Mold spores were present, but their numbers were considered low, she said. The amount of pollen from birch trees varies per season, Schlapia said.

“We’ve been raising a lot of money to help our candidates, and we’re looking forward to just winning this November,” he added. A message seeking comment was left with the DNC. Much of the attention headed to the primary has been on the Republican side, which has three high-profile contenders vying to take on Begich. On the Democratic side, the highest-profile contested race heading to August is that for lieutenant governor, featuring state Senate Minority Leader Hollis French of Anchorage and Palmer math teacher Bob Williams. Forrest Dunbar has been the more active Democratic candidate for the U.S. House seat held since 1973 by Republican Rep. Don Young, who is seeking re-election. Perennial candidate Frank Vondersaar is also seeking the Democratic nod. The convention also features a “strategic communications workshop” with the Washington, D.C.-based The Truman Project. Party spokesman Zack Fields said that will provide a

training opportunity for volunteers and focus on things like veterans issues. In addition to the major races, Democrats also plan to focus attention on trying to win more seats in the Legislature. Fifty-four of the Legislature’s 60 seats are up for grabs this year. Both the House and Senate have been under GOP control the past two years, with Republicans putting an end to a yearslong bipartisan majority coalition in the Senate after the 2012 elections. Republican Gov. Sean Parnell, who is seeking re-election, has held his job since Sarah Palin resigned in 2009. Wenstrup said he thinks Democrats have a shot at winning back control in Juneau, as part of a coalition or otherwise. Republicans enjoyed a huge edge over minority Democrats in the House during the 28th Legislature, with four rural Democrats joining the GOP for a supermajority in the 40-member House. Fractures began appearing within the Senate’s GOP-led majority, and one of the two Democratic members in the majority, Dennis Egan of Juneau, said there was a lot of dissatisfaction with how things were run this year.

State flags lowered for officers memorial JUNEAU (AP) — Alaska state flags will be lowered to half-staff Thursday in observance of Peace Officers Memorial Day and Law Enforcement Memorial Week. Gov. Sean Parnell announced the lowering of the flags in a release Wednesday, noting the shooting deaths May 1 of two Alaska State Troopers in the line of duty.

nai, until the end of May.

Going to the festival?

Friday

it’s not crowded,” said president of the Keen Eye Bird Club Ken Tarbox. The warm weather may be a boon as well because several varieties of songbird are showing up earlier than they did last year, he said. “It ranges from things like Arctic tern feeding on salmon smolt that are going out, to boreal species like some of the warblers that are nesting now. They may see some common mergansers and at the mouth of Slikok Creek they may see American dippers. So it’s a whole range of species,” he said. Another bird that may be a draw for birders can be found on the Kenai Wildlife Refuge at Refuge Lake in Soldotna where Aleutian terns are breeding. “It’s one of the birds that out of state birders really like to see,” Tarbox said. “It’s a sought after bird, but this is about the only place on the road system you can see it.” In the evening, a reception for the student art show PEEPs, a live bird show and a “plan your festival” activity at the Kenai Visitors Center run from 6 p.m. to 8 p.m. in Kenai. The student art show saw an influx of pieces this year, nearly double what is typically submitted, Tarbox said. Kids from 2-17 years of age submitted pieces and 14 of them will be recognized for their work during Thursday’s ceremony. “What was outstanding was that we had really good technical excellence in some of the pieces and we had good ecological stories in some of the pieces, we had fun artistic expression with color in some of the other pieces and so, overall, it’s a really good show,” Tarbox said. The PEEPs show along with another, “Flight,” will be on display at the Kenai Fine Arts Center, 816 Cook Drive in Ke-

On Friday, another five drift boats will float down the lower Kenai River as a hot spot tour takes off from the Kenai Visitors Center, 11471 Kenai Spur Highway, at 10 a.m. Visitors should bring gear and lunch for the day, maps and binoculars will be available at the Info Nest in the visitors center. Tarbox said local birders would be on hand to carpool with visitors to the area. The hotspot tour will focus on shorebirds. “It’s really good for beginner birders because we have the time throughout the day to really look at the birds closely and help people identify them, teach people how to use their binoculars and things of that nature,” Tarbox said. The free tour helps to connect expert birders with amateur counterparts, a key point of the festival, Tarbox said. “We really want to cater to people who are new birders or novice birders. So we really enjoy families and their kids,” Tarbox said. “One of the main reasons for birding festivals is not for birders to go look at birds, they do that year round. One of the main reasons for birders to get together is to socialize.” A no-host dinner from 4-6 p.m. at Paradiso’s Restaurant, 811 Main Street in Kenai, is one of several opportunities to socialize, sprinkled throughout the festival. “The nice thing about a festival is that people come together and they may not have seen each other for a year. They share their experiences and stories and help other birders,” Tarbox said. “People should not be intimidated with the idea that they don’t know a lot about birding. Most birders don’t know a lot about birding.” At 6 p.m. a group from the Kenaitze Indian Tribe will celebrate the connection between the tribe and local birds with storytelling, music and dance at

Saturday is by far the busiest day of the festival with a birders breakfast, big sit, horseback birding ride and several presentations and walks scheduled throughout the day. Beginning at 6 a.m. a 24hour Midnight Sun Big Sit will kick off at the Kenai Viewing Platform while a birder’s breakfast starts at the same time at the Caribou Family Restaurant, 45015 Kalifornsky Beach Road. Tarbox said the big sit is a rare event for birding festivals. During a big sit, birders sit at one location and count as many birds as they can over a certain time period. “What shocked everybody last year was, I think they ended up counting over 70 species of birds from the birding platform by the boat launch,” Tarbox said. “So, in 24 hours ... you can do really well.” A local birder will be on hand for the full 24 hours to help people with identification questions. At 8 a.m., a Birding 101 presentation will be given at the Soldotna Chamber of Commerce & Visitors Center, 44790 Sterling Highway. Then, a walk starts at 9 a.m. just down the road at Centennial Park. Anchorage Audubon Society’s Beth Peluso will meet birders at the visitors center and take them for a walk along the Kenai River. From 9 a.m. to 2 p.m. Home Depot in Kenai, 10480 Kenai Spur Highway, will host a kid’s birdhouse workshop while a children’s program with the Kenai Watershed Forum’s Dan Pascucci runs from 10 a.m. to 11:30 a.m. Members of the Keen Eye Bird Club, George and Bev

iPhone data, or if Apple is just more skilled at decryption than police. Anthony Resetarits, 22, and Joseph Resetarits, 19, are charged with one count each of second-degree assault. In charging documents, Alaska State Troopers said the men sexually assaulted a teenage boy with an object at a September 2012 East End Road drinking party. The men pleaded not guilty at an October 2012 arraignment. From 60 to 80 teenagers and adults were at the party, including members of Homer High School sports teams. Troopers seized cell phones from people who took photos of the assault. Peters said she did not know how many cell phones were seized and how many are iPhones. She

referred such queries to the Alaska Department of Law. Lawson did not reply by press time for clarification on the number and kind of cell phones seized and search warrants issued. Bauman was to have written a letter asking Apple to move the trooper search request up the waiting list, but said Monday he had not done that. Weidner said a June 2 trial date is not realistic because of the delay in processing cell phones. Shaun Sehl of the Office of Victim Rights spoke for the victim’s mother, and said they are opposed to continuing the trial date. Their request is to have the trial held sooner rather than later and hopefully before the end of the year. Bauman, the lawyers and the

Crooning in Kenai Country music legend to bring acoustic set to KCHS auditorium By RASHAH MCCHESNEY Peninsula Clarion

The last time she was in town, country music diva Pam Tillis took to the stage for the Alaska Peace Officer’s Association concert in 2010. This time, she’ll be taking a break from the fast-paced “Grits and Glamour” tour to bring an evening of acoustic music to the Kenai Central High School stage. Tillis said she enjoys touring in Alaska — though she’ll cover a lot of miles in four days travelling from Fairbanks to Anchorage, Kenai and then Juneau before heading back to continue her multi-year tour, with singer Lorrie Morgan. “It’s absolutely breathtaking,” she said, of travelling in Alaska. “The word I use repeatedly and totally wear out is ‘wow.’ In the past we’ve had time to kick around, unfortunately this time we’re just going to have to enjoy it from the window of a van or plane, but that’s OK.” When she takes a break from touring with Morgan, Tillis said she has more time to connect with the audience, tell stories and bring out songs that don’t get played as often. She is perhaps best known for the 1991 hit “Maybe it was Memphis,” or 1994 releases “Mi Vida Loca” and “Spilled Perfume,” though she is a prolific artist and actress. “It’s hard to explain,” she said. “I think in the Grits and Glamour show,

Fire Fly By Dave Thompson, Kenai You’re just what’s been buggin me Twinkling through the starlit trees In heat of night bout mid June Under the amber crescent moon I’ve waited through the coldest season Your glowing presence is my reason To share this night of summer’s glory Flashing out your lifelong story You began an egg then grew full term To become a nocturnal glowing worm Then as if some magic thing An instant more you took to wing A young boy’s game beneath the stars To put you all in mason jars Ever brighter, watch it glow This flashing luminescent show To waste the night inside alone I’d miss your presence unbeknown Dawn is what you seem to fear Your lighthouse soon to disappear Games are games, they all must end But only once the rules I’ll bend So off with lid for you my friend With solemn regret and rejoicing shrug Good night to you oh lightning bug!

lot of stage time. Kenai crowds will still hear some of the singles from Tillis’ latest album “Dos Divas,” a 2013 duet album with Morgan. The two share an uncommon connection in that they’re the daughter’s of two country music Hall of Famers Mel Tillis and George Morgan. Tillis and Morgan toured together with the “Grits and Glamour” tour for years before fans asked when the two would make an album together, according to info on the tour’s website. The album is a healthy mix of contemporary sounds and the classic country style the two are known for producing. Morgan’s twang and often nasal intonation is balanced nicely by Tillis’ hugely powerful chest voice. Uptempo and silly songs like “Old Enough to be Your Lover,” are balanced out with the dramatic showmanship of Tillis’ vocal range in mid-tempo songs like “Bless their Hearts,” and while the Photo courtesy Absolute Publicity Inc., album is billed as a duet album, both artists have ample opportunity to If you go: An Acoustic Evening with Pam Tillis shine as solo acts.

C hris J enness “Neighbors” Universal Pictures 1 hour, 36 minutes There’s a passage in the Bible that, and I’m paraphrasing here, that tells us to put away childish things about the time we grow up. When I left my 20s, I put away the slasher flicks and raunchy comedies that seem to be tailor made for people with very little responsibility and plenty of time on their hands, i.e., college and high school students. That’s probably not fair — I’m sure there are plenty of busy, responsible people who like a good horror movie or sex farce, but for me they just got to be too much. That said, I’m a sucker for good writing, and if a film in one of those genres comes along that is sharp and witty and really has something to say, I’m in. Case in point: “The Cabin in the Woods.” This is a

gory horror movie to its very roots, but because it was clever and very well-written, I enjoyed the heck out of it. “The 40-Year Old Virgin” is another example of a hardR genre flick that really stands out from the crowd. This weekend, my wife and I decided we just wanted a pure comedy — something you could turn off your mind

and just enjoy. We chose the Seth Rogan laffer “Neighbors” over the weepy “Heaven is for Real” or the potentially preachy (but probably pretty funny) “The Other Woman.” Unfortunately for us, “turning off your mind” was a goal for everyone involved in the See MOVIE, page B-2

Mosey on down to pick up ‘Glorious’ Everybody deserves a second start. You’d never begrudge a down-on-his-luck fellow a new lease on life. It’s his right to begin over, to get another chance to fix what broke, and to seize new opportunities. Yep, a clean slate does a body good and, as you’ll see in “Glorious” by Jeff Guinn (c.2014, Putnam, $26.95, 407 pages), it keeps him from getting killed. Cash McLendon always had a knack for people-skills. It started when he was young, when he convinced businessmen not to fire his no-

good, alcoholic father. It continued when his father died, and McLendon talked his way into a place to sleep and a clean-up job where he eavesdropped for gossip that he passed to factory owner Rupert Douglass. His industriousness impressed Douglass enough to take the young man under his wing, into his home, and into his family. Finally, McLendon had everything he’d ever wanted in life — money, power, and status — but it came with a price. Douglass’ daughter, Ellen, was prone to fits of white-hot anger and irrationality, and McLenC

don hoped he’d grow fond of her after their marriage. Still, he couldn’t forget Gabrielle, the woman he really loved. She was on his mind, in fact, as he fled St. Louis after Ellen was found dead by her own hand. McLendon knew Douglass would find him, just as he knew Douglass would blame him for Ellen’s suicide. So, partly as a hiding place and partly as a second chance at love and life, McLendon followed Gabrielle to Glorious, Texas. See BOOK, page B-2

Brother: ‘Sugar Man’ director killed himself MALIN RISING Associated Press

STOCKHOLM — Malik Bendjelloul, the Swedish director of the acclaimed “Searching for Sugar Man” documentary, was widely known for his enthusiasm, kindness and high spirits — so the news Wednesday that he had taken his own life shocked colleagues around the world. Bendjelloul’s brother Johar Bendjelloul confirmed to The Associated Press that his 36-year-old younger brother killed himself Tuesday. He told daily Aftonbladet that his brother had struggled with depression for a short period. “Life is not always simple,” Johar Bendjelloul was quoted as saying, adding that receiving the message that his brother had killed himself was the worst thing he had ever experienced. “I don’t know how to handle it. I don’t know,” he said. Police would not comment on the cause of death but said they suspected no foul play. Bendjelloul rose to international fame in 2013 when his debut feature film, “Searching for Sugar Man,” won an Oscar for best documentary. The film tells the story of Detroit-based singer-songwriter Sixto Rodriguez, who had flopped in the United States but became a superstar in apartheid-era South Africa without even knowing about it. “He made a great film and will be missed,” U.S. documentary film maker Michael Moore wrote on Twitter. British film producer Simon Chinn, who produced “Search-

ing for Sugar Man,” said he was shocked and deeply saddened by the news of his friend’s passing. “It seems so unbelievable,” Chinn told the AP over the telephone. “He had everything to live for.” Chinn said he saw Bendjelloul only two weeks ago in London. “He was so full of life, hope and optimism and happiness, and looking forward to the future and future collaborations,” he said. “The idea that he is no longer is just too hard to process.” The soft-spoken Bendjelloul worked as a reporter for Sweden’s public broadcaster SVT before resigning to backpack around the world. He got the idea for “Searching for Sugar Man” during one of his trips, but it would take him more than four years to complete the film. He reached out to Chinn when the film was 90 percent finished, but his main sponsor had withdrawn support, saying the film was lousy. “He just kind of came in with his bounce of enthusiasm and charm and smiling eyes and I was completely won over by him,” Chinn recalled Wednesday. “He had found this amazing story and was completely determined to do it justice,” he said. “The fact that no one else believed in it didn’t seem to deter him, he just kind of pursued it with incredible passion and tenacity that I hadn’t really ever seen before in a filmmaker.” SVT’s culture chief Eva Beckman said Bendjelloul’s

make a living in the music industry. “There’s a lot of talent out there,” she said. “It’s funny, you know you either have someone like Taylor Swift who is a phenomenon who has made enough money to keep her grand-kids comfortable, or you’re out there touring in a van.” Succeeding in the industry requires a different kind of creativity, Tillis said, and a willingness to work hard to bring a personal message to the world. “Then, just getting out there and hitting the road. That’s the tried and true method,” she said.

siblings that she wants to do “for posterity’s sake,” and another that could wind up being a new album. “I’ve got just a batch of songs that I’ve kind of had in my back pocket for a long time,” she said. “They haven’t ended up on any record for one reason or another, so I think I’m just going to do a collection of things like that and put it out there. Perhaps they won’t go together thematically, but I just don’t want them to go un-played.” For other aspiring female Reach Rashah McChesney musicians, Tillis said she thinks it has gotten harder to at rashah.mcchesney@peninsulaclarion.com death was incomprehensible and praised his strong storytelling skills and his willingness to experiment with new formats. “What really set him apart from everybody else was his passion for storytelling. He was a fantastic storyteller,” she said. In “Searching for Sugar Man,” Bendjelloul detailed how Rodriguez had developed a cult following among white liberals in South Africa who were inspired by his songs protesting the Vietnam War, racial inequality, the abuse of women and social mores. They came to believe that Rodriguez had died a bitter death, but it wasn’t until after the end of apartheid and the advent of the Internet that they realized he was alive. The film followed the quest of Cape Town record store owner Stephen Segerman and journalist Carl BartholomewStrydom as they set out to determine Rodriguez’s fate. They found him living in obscurity and working on construction sites in Detroit, and brought him to South Africa for a trium-

phant concert tour. Segerman said Wednesday it was difficult to accept the death of Bendjelloul, who he said was a “really, really lovely, charming human being” who appeared happy. “He was like Tintin,” Segerman said, comparing the filmmaker to the globe-trotting character from Herge’s comic books. He praised Bendjelloul’s ability to persuade people, including the reclusive Rodriguez, to talk to him for his documentary. The film’s Oscar win led to a career rebirth for Rodriguez, who has been touring major venues in the U.S. and introducing American audiences to the songs he wrote four decades ago. Rodriguez told Billboard magazine Tuesday night that the death was “a shock. I just found out about it a couple of hours ago. He was a very talented man and hard-working artist — he proved it by hitting an Academy Award his first time out. My deepest condolences to his family. Rest in peace.”

Girl who was shot by Taliban painted, piece sells for $103K NEW YORK (AP) — A British artist’s portrait of a young Pakistani girl who was shot by the Taliban for campaigning for girls’ education brought in more than $100,000 at auction Wednesday. Christie’s said the painting of Malala Yousafzai by Jonathan Yeo sold for $102,500, including the buyer’s premium. Yeo painted Yousafzai in 2013 after she started attending a school in Birmingham, England, where she now lives.

The sale proceeds will go to the Malala Fund charity. The fund said the money would in turn be given to Nigerian nonprofits that focus on education for women and girls in the wake of the kidnapping of more than 300 schoolgirls in that country. The painting hung in the National Portrait Gallery in London last year for an exhibition of Yeo’s portraits of wellknown figures, including Sienna Miller, Kevin Spacey and Rupert Murdoch.

Malala was 15 when she was shot in 2012 as she traveled to her Pakistani school. President Barack Obama has called her the “bravest girl in the world.” In an interview last week, Yeo said he wanted the portrait to capture “this extraordinary dichotomy” of someone with “enormous power and wisdom” but who is still very young. “Her birth instinct isn’t selfpity but rather what else she could do to help other girls in her position,” Yeo said.

He said he spent “a lot of time chatting” with her and “hearing her world views and what her life is like” before sitting down to paint her. Yeo, whose works are also in the Royal Collection, said he depicted her doing homework to reflect the irony that “the simple everyday thing she’s doing was what created the cataclysmic change in her life that nearly killed her.” When the portrait was finished, Yeo said, Malala told him “it’s how she sees herself.”

. . . Book Perched near the Pinal Mountains, Glorious was little more than half-finished shacks and a few tents surrounded by desert and Apache territory. It boasted a hotel and a drinking establishment, a livery, a Chinese laundry, and a dry goods store that serviced the miners. It was dry, stickyhot, dangerous, and dying;

few visitors ever came through and fewer stayed, though residents hoped Glorious’ nearest neighbor might help save the town. Wealthy rancher Colin MacPherson owned most of the valley anyway — and early in his stay, Cash McLendon knew that MacPherson wanted to own Glorious, too … Set in 1872, “Glorious” is a surprisingly modern old-time western that starts out with a gruesome murder but tames almost immediately. That’s good for readers who want an oater

rather than blood-and-torture, but not so good for anyone who wants a little more gunsmoke and gunslinging. While I liked the basic premise of this book, I wasn’t wild about Cash McLendon. Author Jeff Guinn makes McLendon quite the dandy, uncomfortable on a horse and unable to shoot, which seemed to be the antithesis of a western hero to me. I also had some problem with the book’s predictability and the choppiness. Still, there were some surprises in the story and

enough Old West to keep me occupied until the cliffhanger ending. If mysteries have a subgenre called “cozy,” this slower-paced western could be said to be a “mosey.” It’s leisurely with some spice and, despite its flaws, ain’t all bad. And if that’s what you need, then “Glorious” is a book you should start.

politely asking if they wouldn’t mind keeping the noise down. Naturally this doesn’t go exactly as planned and what results is all-out war between the two houses. It’s a battle fought with fireworks and police calls, booby-trapped airbags and broken water-mains, and penises. So many penises. Problem number one, two, and, well really as high as you want to count, with this movie is the writing. It is terrible. The dialogue is obnoxious, incredibly simplistic, and insulting, to boot. As if you couldn’t figure out what was going on, the script requires the actors continually remind each other of the basic facts of the plot so you, the moviegoer, won’t get lost. Maybe they assume everyone in the audience will be as high as the characters on screen are, and they have to compensate. Also, just plot-wise, the movie has no idea how to build tension. The battles between the

Radners and the frat, embodied by an incredibly good-looking Zach Efron, start at middling level and never really escalate. A counter-example of this is the criminally underrated Tom Hanks comedy, “The ‘Burbs,” which starts slow but builds to an incredible crescendo of mayhem. In “Neighbors,” the words spoken on-screen between the characters would suggest that the stakes are rising, but all the action (aside from the aforementioned airbag sequence, which was really pretty funny) seems fairly listless. Again, the marijuana factor. Every fifteen minutes or so the movie kind of shakes itself awake and flashes a penis on the screen in one fashion or another in order, I guess, to assert some kind of shock-factor credibility. Needless to say it doesn’t work. I think what bothered me the most about this movie is that we were game. My wife and I knew what we were getting into and were really ready to give it a shot. It’s not that we can’t handle the language or the nu-

dity, it’s that it was so, so poorly constructed. Even the look of the film felt low-budget — like this was an indie comedy shot on the cheap but without any of the cleverness or heart that usually comes with the indie label. Worst of all are the characters of the Radners themselves. I am about the farthest thing from a frat guy you’ll find, so I was really ready to sympathize with these young parents, but I just couldn’t. They are odious, awful people. Completely unlikable. If I thought this movie was smarter, I would assume that these characters were written to be such disgusting human beings on purpose — that the frats were the unlikely heroes of a subversively black comedy. But that’s not true. The writers think the Radners are funny but I just couldn’t turn off my mind to that extent. Every time they left the 6-month-old alone at home to go and get drunk and stoned, every time they had sex in front of the baby, really every time they were in the frame I wanted to throw something at

the screen. “Neighbors” is one of the worst movies I’ve seen in a while, and we came very close to walking out. It could almost earn my rarely given grade of F, if it weren’t for a few things. Zach Efron and Dave Franco, leaders of the frat, are pretty likable characters, surprisingly, and might have made fine additions to a different film. There are a few pretty funny pieces to the film, and the whole thing ends with a surprisingly sweet, though ultimately pointless scene between Rogan, who barely manages to maintain his affable status, and Efron. I really, really didn’t like “Neighbors,” but I guess I didn’t flat out loathe it. How’s that for faint praise? Grade: D“Neighbors” is rated R for pervasive language, constant nudity, sexual situations, and moderate violence.

Wife disapproves when man tries to break language barrier DEAR ABBY: My wife and I speak English as our native language. I also speak other languages fluently, although my wife does not. When we travel to a country where I speak the language, she insists I speak only English. She says everybody in the world now speaks English and accuses me of showing off when I converse with a local in his or her language. She says it makes her uncomfortable. I realize many people in other countries speak some — or even a lot of — English, but many do not. What do you think? — SPEECHLESS IN ATLANTA DEAR SPEECHLESS: Much as your wife might wish it, not everybody in the world speaks English. That you are able to speak to individuals in their native language is a tremendous asset when you travel. It makes for a warmer welcome and a fuller experience wherever you go, and I hope you will continue to use the skill you have worked to acquire. However, to carry on long, involved conversations while your wife just stands there is rude, and if you find out that the person with whom you are talking also speaks English, you should make an effort to see that she is included. DEAR ABBY: I was born with a very weak heart.

At the age of 23, I went into heart failure and needed surgery. It has been two years since my open heart procedure, and it has changed my life for the best. As a young, semi-attractive male, I feel insecure about my scar. I went to the beach with friends, and so many people looked at my scar I got uncomfortable and put my shirt back on for the Abigail Van Buren rest of the time. I haven’t gone back to the beach since. And in situations where guys go shirtless, I wear mine even over the protests of my friends. I can’t get over the scar. I feel like I’m disfigured. Any advice on how I can deal with this huge change? — SELF-CONSCIOUS IN GEORGIA DEAR SELF-CONSCIOUS: Because you’re sensitive about the scar, perhaps you should talk to a plastic surgeon about your options in having it reduced. However, in my opinion, you are not “disfigured” — you are ALIVE. You fought for your life and won.

Share more of what you want from them. Though someone could become quite difficult, he or she will respond eventually. This person values the tie between you. Tonight: Go with a different suggestion. CANCER (June 21-July 22) HHHH Defer to an associate who seems more grounded than he or she has been in a while. You have become rather familiar with having some uproar on the homefront. The responsible party might be willing to compromise; listen to what he or she shares. Tonight: Pace yourself. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) HHH Your love of life comes out in nearly everything you do. Understand that someone might feel pressured by a situation that keeps causing you a bit of a problem. Let impulsiveness call the shots, at least for today. Unexpected news heads your way. Tonight: Let the fun begin. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) HHHH Be more forthright and direct in how you are dealing with a family member, even if you view this person as cagey. A partner will appreciate the way you are handling a tension-laden situation. A boss or higher-up could be observing you as well. Tonight: At home. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) HHHH You could be rather disassociated from what is going on. Your mind, though responsive to those in your present environment, seems to drift to a different person or place. Be as direct as possible when dealing with others. Clear up any confusion. Tonight: Be spontaneous. SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) HHHH Honor a financial agreement,

Few people get through life without some “battle scars.” Since you can’t change the fact that it’s there, consider changing the way you think about it. In a way, it’s your medal of honor. Scars have been known to fade with time, and so does self-consciousness. DEAR ABBY: My grandson will be getting married in Chicago. What’s the appropriate dress code regarding wearing pantyhose these days? It seems everyone you see in a dress is bare-legged. I want to be comfortable, but also appropriately dressed. — BEST-DRESSED GRANDMA DEAR GRANDMA: It depends upon how formal the wedding will be and whether it will be held indoors or outside. If it’s outside and informal, and the weather is hot and humid, you could go barelegged. However, if it’s indoors and the attire is dressy — and you want to maintain your reputation as “best-dressed granny” — hold up your “end” and wear pantyhose.

Hints from Heloise

Jacqueline Bigar’s Stars HAPPY BIRTHDAY for Thursday, May 15, 2014: This year you enter a period where you choose to work with others more on a one-on-one level. There is a tendency to have misunderstandings. More often than not, you’ll need to clear the air. Your strong drive creates greater endurance. The end result is success. If you are single, you meet people with greater ease. Be careful not to dive into a relationship. Take your time, making sure your choice will work for you. If you are attached, the two of you often will be found together. You gain more insight into your interactions as well. By summer, you might want to spend more time at home. SAGITTARIUS understands you well. 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 A risk will pay off in a surprising way. A discussion is long overdue. Be ready to move forward and let go of confusion. Ultimately, you will resolve the issue. Do not hold back as you have been. Allow your fiery nature to reveal itself. Tonight: Think “vacation.” TAURUS (April 20-May 20) HHHH Deal with a partner directly. You can’t keep putting this situation on the back burner. The end results could surprise you, as there is likely to be an unexpected turn. As a result of the unexpected, you could gain a sudden insight. Tonight: Opt for togetherness. GEMINI (May 21-June 20) HHHH Others might assume more control than they have in a while.

Crossword

even if there was or is confusion around it. A partner has similar concerns, but he or she is likely to proceed differently. Coming to an agreement with this person could take significant effort on your part. Tonight: Play it low-key. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) HHHH Beam in more of what you want. A certain element of excitement surrounds what you do. The unexpected could occur when dealing with a loved one. Maintain a sense of humor, and everything will go well. Be willing to put in extra hours. Tonight: Just be yourself. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) HHH Note what is going on behind the scenes. Follow your instincts when dealing with a family member. You could be more confused than you realize. Take your time addressing a problem, as it isn’t going anywhere. Try not to make a final decision just yet. Tonight: Order in. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) HHHHH Zero in on what you want. Have a long-overdue conversation with someone you care about. This person could be very excited to finally air out some issues. Tap into your creativity when the unexpected occurs. Tonight: Favorite people, favorite place. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) HHHHYou might want to have a discussion with a family member before you loosen up and relax. Be willing to invest more in your home life. Your environment can make all the difference in how you feel. Make that extra effort, and you will be happier. Tonight: A must appearance.

Moving to Wood Floors Dear Heloise: I just moved into a house with HARDWOOD FLOORS and was wondering if you have any hints on how to care for them? — A Reader in Texas I do have some hints for you! Hardwood floors are beautiful and can last a long time if maintained. Here is how to take care of them: * Never push or slide furniture around. Pick it up and move it. Use furniture protectors under table legs, etc. * Place rugs in high-traffic areas, like by doors, to minimize wear and tear. * Be careful about the shoes that are worn on your floor. High heels and cleats can leave dents. * Clean up spills immediately. Use a slightly dampened towel to wipe up spills, then go over the area with a dry towel. * Use only the correct hardwoodfloor care products on your floor. Others can damage. If you have any other concerns, contact a manufacturer for suggestions. — Heloise ON THE LINE Dear Heloise: My area rugs cannot be washed in my machine. I drape them over the clothesline, spray them with a hose-attachment cleaner and rinse well with the same applicator. They drip-dry and look like new. A broomstick hung on the clothesline with two showercurtain hooks makes a great sagproof drying rod. — Jane A., Beavercreek, Ohio What a great idea! Just make sure that the hose attachment is cleaned thoroughly before using and doesn’t have any residue in it that might damage the rugs. — Heloise
