Tyonek fire grows to 1,000 acres ANCHORAGE (AP) — A fire burning near the village of Tyonek on Cook Inlet had grown to 1,000 acres by Tuesday. Fire officials on Tuesday said residents were asked to leave their homes Monday. Many took shelter at a nearby lodge. A crew burned a fire line between the fire and village, which officials called a successful operation. However, shifting winds have caused the fire to change course, and it is now moving toward the community of Beluga, about 10 miles away. The Tyonek Native Corp. has asked for donations to help it provide food and essential provisions for firefighters and displaced village residents.

Funny River fire grows Blaze reaches 20,000 acres

Above, a wildfire that began Monday near Funny River Road in Soldotna has spread and consumed more than 7,000 acres in about 24 hours. Shown here Tuesday, the fire is more than 10 miles long and about a mile wide. Left, flames eat through the Kenai National Wildlife Refuge on the western edge of the Funny River fire Tuesday.

A wall of dense smoke engulfed portions of the Kenai Peninsula Tuesday as a fire that started near the Funny River Horse Trail late Monday grew to consume more than 20,000 acres and stretch in a 10-mile line from Funny River Road to the shoreline of Tustumena Lake. Late Tuesday, the Alaska Interagency Incident Management Team reported that new mapping indicated the fire had grown in size. The ceiling of the smoke column reached at least 8,000 feet into the sky, dwarfing portions of Soldotna, Kasilof, Clam Gulch and running south along the eastern shore of the Cook Inlet. A satellite image posted by the Alaska Department of Natural Resources-Division of Forestry on Tuesday showed heavy smoke from the blaze drifting south over Homer as far as Kodiak and curling east out over the Gulf of Alaska.

Graduating class is ‘family’ Two graduates take Wings By KAYLEE OSOWSKI Peninsula Clarion

Forty-two students sat together with their family Monday evening in the Kenai Alternative High School gym in Kenai. Well, they sat with one of their families — their graduating class. Multiple students described the group as close and family-like, even though it’s one of the biggest classes the school has seen. “Everyone really likes each other here,” Omar Rodriquez, a graduate,

said. … “We’re one big family.” Dakoda Neely said he plans to keep in touch with his classmates after graduation. Rodriquez and Neely said they will miss family atmosphere of the group. Rodriquez plans to attend Kenai Peninsula College and pursue a degree in process technology. Neely plans to work in the oil industry after working in Alyeska for a while longer. Not only are classmates close, but they’re also diverse. The students came to KAHS from different schools and See FAMILY, page A-5 C

Salena Pena was not done with school just yet. Included in her graduation ceremony, was her final assignment for speech class. It was about a mystery plague that threatened the entire population, and the blood of one child was the cure. Only the doctors needed all of his blood. “It was a big message,” Pena said. “I thought it would go well with the ceremony.” Afterward, audience members ap-

proached her saying they had cried she had done so well, Pena said. Pena herself cried later in the ceremony while giving a second speech about her time at the Upper Learning Center, the high school at Wing’s Christian Academy. It was a long road, she explained. Without the help of Pena’s instructors, she is certain she would not have graduated.

Ammunition shortage reaches rural Alaska stores NOME (AP) — A shortage of ammunition in the country is starting to affect Alaska subsistence hunters. The Native Store in Gambell on Saint Lawrence Island has had trouble keeping popular ammunition in stock for hunters trying to harvest bearded seal and other marine mammals or migratory birds returning to the Bering Strait, KNOM-radio reported Monday. That includes .300-, .303- and .243-caliber shells. “We’ve also been having a hard time getting some .22 shells,” manager Mary Ungut said. “It seems that the price is increasing, too.” Shotgun shells and other common calibers are back on shelves in Nome and Gambell, but the shortages align with what shooters are finding in stores elsewhere, including Anchorage. The Gambell Native Store gets its ammunition from the Alaska Native Industries Cooperative Association, which supplies 40 stores from the Aleutians to Kaktovik. Distribution

Skiff found in Washington tsunami debris By DOUG ESSER Associated Press

SEATTLE — More than three years after the tsunami hit Japan, evidence of the disaster continues to haunt the West Coast where residents know they also are vulnerable. A skiff that was once used by someone near Sendai washed ashore in January on the Washington coast near Westport, the state Ecology Department said. Scraping away years of seaweed growth revealed a number that was tracked with the help of the Japanese Consulate back to the Miyagi Prefecture, where Sendai is the capital. “The former owner does not desire to have it returned,” said Ecology spokeswoman Linda Kent. Two similar skiffs covered in seaweed and barnacles were

found April 23 at Long Beach and April 28 at Ocean Shores. The Long Beach skiff has no identifying information and has been disposed of, but the Ocean Shores skiff had some markings. It’s being held at Ocean City State Park while the state and the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration try to identify it through the Japanese consulate, Kent said. All the boats have been scraped to remove any possible invasive species of marine life. It takes quite a bit of detective work to confirm whether or not debris is likely from the March 2011 tsunami, Kent said. The skiff that was found Jan. 15 was confirmed on May 9. There has been a “slight uptick” this year in the amount of possible tsunami debris found on the Washington coast, in-

cluding oil drums, small propane tanks and canisters, Kent said. “This was stuff that was floating a bit lower in the water,” she said Tuesday. “Earlier debris was high-floating, pushed more by the wind.” There have been more than 20 fuel tanks or oil drums found on the Washington coast so far this year — almost twice as many in a typical year, she said. Some of the rusty tanks found recently have Asian lettering, but it’s still difficult to determine whether they are from Japan or some of the other

flotsam that regularly hits the shores. Dozens of buoys of the type used off Japan were some of the first tsunami debris found on Washington beaches. The largest piece of tsunami debris was a boxcar-sized concrete and foam dock that washed ashore in December 2012 on an Olympic National Park beach. It was similar to the dock that landed at Newport, Oregon, in June 2012. They were cut up for disposal.

What Others Say

U.S. needs more than solar panels President Barack Obama is announc-

ing a bundle of plans for boosting solar power and promoting energy efficiency. That may be about all he can do on his own authority without support from Congress, but it’s still half a loaf. One of the steps he was touting was completion of solar panel installation on the White House roof. Well, whoopee. Jimmy Carter put solar panels on the roof of the executive residence, but Ronald Reagan had them removed. That made the panels a political football rather than a modest efficiency tool. The panels will be more effective as a symbol of presidential policy than as a real contribution to the nation’s energy efficiency. America needs a broader, more inclusive energy policy, but it’s never going to get one as long as political leaders hold to hard-line policy. “The president can’t claim an ‘all of the above’ strategy while he’s blocking the Keystone pipeline, slow-rolling the approval of new energy exploration and proposing job-killing regulations that will destroy the American coal industry,” said a spokesman for House Speaker John Boehner, the ultra-Republican from Ohio. Filter out the partisan rhetoric, and the man has a point. Solar panels do not a policy make. Power-saving green steps alone can’t meet our energy needs. The energy efficiency guys and the we-need-morepower bunch need to bury the hatchet. The issue is too important to the national well-being to be a focus for political games. — The Post-Intelligencer, Paris, Tennessee May 9

Michael Sam kissing sham?

Have I been taken in? Was Michael Sam’s kiss with his boyfriend after finally being drafted by the St. Louis Rams nothing more than shtick, just a way to promote the marketing of the first openly gay player who had just become part of the NFL? Faithful readers will know that I was among those who cheered the kiss and took malicious delight in how it caused the homophobes out there to get the vapors. But that was before I learned that he had signed a deal to cooperate in a documentary. With Oprah Winfrey, for crying out loud! Was the kiss just PR? Did he really not mean it at the Scouting Combine, when he told reporters, “I wish you guys would just see me as Michael Sam the football player instead of Michael Sam the gay football player.” For those who are not fans, the Combine is a super-hyped, glorified audition. For the record, Sam did poorly, and according to some didn’t even bother training to be in peak physical shape beforehand. Still, the Rams selected him, albeit way down in the seventh round of the draft. Quite a few analysts said he has shortcomings, but he did have a brilliant college career at Missouri. So far, so good, but when someone is chosen that late, history shows that there is a real good chance he won’t make it at this next level. It means that no matter how hard the team focuses on purely football

considerations, there will be tons of people who abhor the oppression of gays who will loudly charge that if he is cut, it was because of bigotry. The Rams were willing to take that chance. And so was Bob Franken Oprah Winfrey. Sam’s agents and Oprah’s network had already sealed their realityshow deal. And frankly, I don’t know what to think. On the one hand, this is history, and anytime we can have access to the important events of our times, that’s a plus. But we’re talking TV here and the Oprah Winfrey Network, OWN. This is not the usual nuts-and-twigs fare, and I personally have little confidence that the story will be told in an unvarnished way, unsullied by production considerations and pressure to make it good television. I’d probably feel a little better if this was being done by someone else. Let’s face it: Unlike the Oprah touchy-feely, football is more like clobber-hurtee. Requiring behemoths to smash into each other at warp speed, risking their brains and skeletons in the process, is brutality as entertainment. It also is a cold business. Not that Oprah

doesn’t understand cold business. But in professional sports it’s all about success. You have it or you don’t. No platitudes about personal fulfillment are a substitute for smashmouth blocking and tackling. If Sam can’t hack it, he’ll be dropped like a stone. He’s fighting an uphill battle with a huge learning curve. The last thing he needs right now is the distraction of performing for the cameras. Learning the playbook is hard enough. Executing it is even harder. Above and beyond any anti-gay bias in the locker room, his teammates might not appreciate all the hubbub undermining their careers. Happily, after a lot of people complained, the Oprah project has been put on hold. It’s tempting to compare Michael Sam to Jackie Robinson, and obviously the two situations have some parallels. Both use the metaphor of sports to confront deepseated prejudice. But there are some huge differences. First of all, Robinson was a proven star athlete. Within the NFL context, Sam is a big question mark. Secondly, they didn’t have the same media landscape back then, for better and worse. I can’t help but wonder if Robinson and his mentor, Branch Rickey, would have agreed to a TV production. I hope not. Bob Franken is a longtime broadcast journalist, including 20 years at CNN.

Oil companies will get the gift of among the lowest tax rates in the world, at your expense. I want you to be informed when you vote on repealing this law in August. SB 21 By GARRY TRUDEAU is a pathway to underfunded schools, lost needed energy solutions, and continued $1 billion-plus deficits. Thanks to respected leaders across the political spectrum — including former First Lady Bella Hammond, Constitutional Delegate Vic Fischer, Democratic and Independent Gubernatorial candidates Byron Mallott and Bill Walker, Democratic and Republican legislators, former Mayors Jim Whittaker (R-Fairbanks) and Jack Roderick (D-Anchorage) and others — for speaking up. Repealing SB 21 will tell legislators to write a law that provides a fair share for our oil, and effective oil production incentives. Allowing corporations to take the billions they’ll get from a reduced Alaska share, to spend on their foreign oil operations, isn’t a fair partnership. Reasonable tax breaks should be earned by investing in Alaska. The Disappearing Tax Rate: SB 21 includes an ill-conceived handout that makes fatter profits for oil corporations, but little sense for you. It was falsely billed as an incentive for “new oil”. The trouble is it pretended to “incentivize” oil that was already being produced. This provision hands out a roughly 40% reduction on SB 21’s already low oil tax. Forty percent off 27% is roughly 16%. That’s a banana republic rate. This 40% cut to Alaska’s revenue share applies to most new oil that will ever be

The state has forecasted more North Slope oil by 2022 under ACES (Spring, 2013 ACES report) than under SB 21 (April, 2014 SB 21 report). To spur local investment, we should require companies to invest IN ALASKA to earn reasonable tax breaks. Letting them spend Alaska tax breaks Outside is one reason for this decline. And Scott Goldsmith’s report? It concedes SB21 would have reduced Alaska revenue by over $1 billion/yr. if it were in place at 2012 and 2013’s higher oil prices.

Jury rules for Anchorage in detectives’ lawsuit ANCHORAGE — A jury rules in favor of the Municipality of Anchorage after two police detectives sued in 2010, accusing the police department of discriminating against minority officers. KTVA reports a judge unsealed the verdict Tuesday. It came down April 1, but the judge was out of town. Alvin Kennedy and Eliezer Feliciano claimed Kennedy was racially profiled by another officer while working undercover. It also claims that minority officers are disciplined differently than white officers. Chief Mark Mew tells the Anchorage television station he feels vindicated by the verdict. The jury didn’t decide a third count, which claims police fabricated a criminal case against the detectives in retaliation for the lawsuit. The judge can either order a retrial on that count, or throw out all three and start over.

Former rep drops interest in Senate seat FAIRBANKS — A former state representative who was fined nearly $18,000 on ethics violations has bowed out of a race for state Senate. Former state Rep. Alan Dick had filed his intent to challenge state Sen. Click Bishop, R-Fairbanks, in the August Republican primary. The filing allowed him to start raising funds, but he would have had to file a declaration of candidacy to get his name on the ballot. But Dick on Tuesday told the Fairbanks Daily NewsMiner he withdrew his name on Friday. The change wasn’t reflected in online records, and he didn’t return calls to the newspaper on Monday ahead of Tuesday’s printed story. — The Associated Press

“Stay diligent, and have fun,” Bush said to the younger students during her farewell speech who hollered and laughed loudly to her words of advice. Bush said she is nervous for the next step. Entering the “adult world,” is scary when there’s no one to hold hands with or have guidance through personal mistakes, she said. Regardless, Bush said she is looking forward to starting her education. She plans to have a long career as a writer. “I want to write books,” Bush said. “I might start off with articles though.”

Staff recognized each student’s individuality at the ceremony by giving out awards such as “Revolving Door,” “Martha Stewart” and “I Would Like to Buy a Vowel” to recognized something graduates did or said or didn’t do or say, said Principal Loren Reese. Each student received a certificate and a quirky keepsake that pertained to their award such as a rubber hamburger, pinwheel or plastic microphone. Some of the students, teacher Kevin Harding said, enrolled at KAHS with only a few credits. Because of the way the school is set up, with five rotations and longer days, students are able to complete a semester of classes during a shorter time period. Henry Young attended KAHS for two years. “(High school) was difficult until I got to this school,” he said. Young had one and one-half credits when he started KAHS. He was able to graduate on time with KAHS’s rotation system.

GM recalls roll on; 2.4M more vehicles By DEE-ANN DURBIN AP Auto Writer

DETROIT — Another day, another recall from General Motors. At least that’s the way it seems as the automaker reviews safety issues across its line-up of cars and trucks in the wake of a mishandled recall of millions of older small cars. The number of recalls issued this year by the nation’s top carmaker rose Tuesday to 29 as GM announced four separate actions affecting 2.4 million cars and trucks. While no fatalities were involved in the latest recalls, the problems were serious enough that GM has temporarily halted sales of the vehicles. GM has recalled 13.6 million vehicles in the U.S. since early February. That’s more than the total number of cars it sold here in the last five years, and already surpasses GM’s previous U.S. recall record of 10.75 million vehicles, set in 2004. By comparison, rival Ford has recalled 1.2 million vehicles in

the U.S. this year, while Toyota has recalled around 2.6 million, according to federal data. The parade of bad news is part of the fallout from GM’s recall of 2.6 million Chevrolet Cobalts and other small cars for defective ignition switches — and a consequence of government regulation. GM says it’s redoubling efforts to resolve outstanding safety issues. It’s hiring 35 new safety investigators and is issuing recalls one by one, as soon as a decision is made. GM can’t wait and announce a group of recalls once a month; it’s required by federal law to report defects to the government within five days of discovering them. A failure to follow that law landed GM in hot water with the government. The company agreed last week to pay a $35 million federal fine for concealing a deadly defect in the ignition switches for more than a decade. GM says at least 13 people have died in crashes linked to the problem, although trial lawyers suing the company say the death toll is at least 53. Congress

This April 3, 2012 file photo shows the 2013 Buick Enclave as it is unveiled at a news conference ahead of the New York International Car Show, in New York. General Motors on Tuesday, announced the recall of 2.4 million vehicles in the U.S., including the 2013 Enclave and other full-size crossovers from the 2009-2014 model years, as part of a broader effort to resolve outstanding safety issues more quickly.

and the Justice Department have ongoing investigations. More recalls are likely. GM spokesman Alan Adler said the company is making progress on reviewing older investigations, “but work is continuing.”

The recalls haven’t yet impacted GM’s U.S. sales, which were up 7 percent in April. But Akshay Anand, an industry analyst with Kelley Blue Book, said Tuesday’s order to dealers to stop selling the 2015 Cadil-

lac Escalade and 2014 Buick Enclave, Chevrolet Traverse and GMC Acadia until they’re repaired could give more buyers pause. The initial recalls covered older models like the discontinued Cobalt; now they’re affecting newer models. Detroit-based GM said it will take a $400 million charge for repairs on all vehicles recalled so far this quarter. That includes the $200 million charge the company announced last week when it issued five recalls covering 2.7 million vehicles. That’s on top of a $1.3 billion charge the automaker took for recalls in the first quarter. The recalls announced Tuesday were: — 1.3 million Buick Enclave, Chevrolet Traverse and GMC Acadia crossovers from the 2009-2014 model years and Saturn Outlook crossovers from 2009-2010. GM says the front safety lap belt cables can wear down and separate over time. GM has told dealers they cannot sell new or used models of the vehicles until repairs are made. — 1.1 million Chevrolet

Malibu sedans from the 20042008 model years and Pontiac G6 sedans from 2005-2008 because a shift cable could wear out over time. If that happens, the driver may not be able to select a different gear, remove the key from the ignition or place the transmission in park. GM knows of 18 crashes and one injury from the defect. — 1,402 Cadillac Escalade and Escalade ESVs from the 2015 model year because a faulty weld could result in partial deployment of the front passenger air bag in a crash. GM has stopped the sale of the models and alerted 224 current owners not to let occupants sit in the front passenger seat until the vehicle has been repaired. GM knows of no injuries related to the defect. — 58 Chevrolet Silverado HD and GMC Sierra HD pickups from the 2015 model year because retention clips attaching the generator fuse block to the vehicle body can become loose and lead to a potential fire. No crashes or injuries are related to the defect.

Police: Actor Michael Jace told 911 he shot wife in Los Angeles By TAMI ABDOLLAH and ANTHONY McCARTNEY Associated Press

LOS ANGELES — Actor Michael Jace, who played a police officer on the hit TV show “The Shield,” was arrested Tuesday after calling 911 and telling an operator that he shot his wife, authorities said. Detectives were investigating whether the couple’s financial or other marital difficulties might have played a role in the killing that police said occurred during an argument on Monday night while the couple’s two sons, both under 10, were in the house. Police were unsure if the children had witnessed the argument or gunfire. They were

placed in the care of relatives. The body of April Jace, 40, was found with multiple gunshot wounds in a hallway of the home in the quiet, modest Hyde Park neighborhood of Los Angeles. Police recovered a handgun believed to belong to her husband, Los Angeles police Detective Dean Vinluan said. “She came home with the kids and then the dispute happened and the shooting happened,” he said. Michael Jace was seen walking out of the home as officers arrived. He was detained and later arrested. “We don’t know if he came out of fear or was trying to get out of there,” Vinluan said. Jace, 51, is best known for

his role as LAPD Officer Julien Lowe in “The Shield.” He also appeared on the show “Southland” and had small roles in the movies “Planet of the Apes,” ‘’Boogie Nights” and “Forrest Gump.” A printout of the incident history indicated that he had called 911 and told the operator that he had shot his wife, Vinluan said. Jace was booked on suspicion of homicide, and detectives intend to review the full

911 call from Jace and other calls from neighbors reporting that shots had been fired before he is formally charged. Calls seeking comment from Jace’s agents at SMS Talent were not immediately returned. It could not immediately be determined if he had retained a lawyer. Vinluan said there had been no previous reports of domestic violence at the home. However, the actor had been under financial pressure in recent years. He

declared for bankruptcy in 2011 and had been delinquent on payments as recently as December. Next-door neighbor Shirley Harding described Michael and April Jace as good, hands-on parents. “They were just lovely parents,” Harding said. “I never heard arguments. I just heard happiness over there.” April Jace had worked as a

financial aid counselor at Biola University, a private Christian school, since March 2013. “April’s radiant personality brought great energy to the financial aid office,” Geoff Marsh, senior director of financial aid wrote in a statement. “Her love for helping students and families and her great work ethic earned the respect and love of her co-workers.”

House approves $12 billion-plus water bill

Around the World When computer networks are hacked, victims are sometimes their own worst enemies WASHINGTON — The victims were their own worst enemies. The hacking techniques the U.S. government says China used against American companies turned out to be disappointingly mundane, tricking employees into opening email attachments or clicking on innocent-looking website links. The scariest part might be how successfully the ruses worked. With a mouse click or two, employees at big-name American makers of nuclear and solar technology gave away the keys to their computer networks. In a 31-count indictment announced on Monday the Justice Department said five Chinese military officials operating under hacker aliases such as “Ugly Gorilla,” ‘’KandyGoo” and “Jack Sun” stole confidential business information, sensitive trade secrets and internal communications for competitive advantage. The U.S. identified the alleged victims as Alcoa World Alumina, Westinghouse, Allegheny Technologies, U.S. Steel, United Steelworkers Union and SolarWorld. China denied it all on Tuesday.

Primary votes set stage for Senate-control fight in November WASHINGTON — Senate Republican leader Mitch McConnell looked to vanquish a tea party challenger in Kentucky, and nearly a dozen candidates vied Tuesday night for spots on the Georgia ballot for fall elections that will decide control of the U.S. Senate, highlights of primaries that spread across six states. In Arkansas, Democratic Sen. Mark Pryor and his Republican challenger, Rep. Tom Cotton, ran unopposed for their party nominations, pointing toward their highly anticipated battle in November as the GOP labors to gain a majority. Pennsylvania Democrats eager to gain control of their statehouse sorted through four contenders vying to challenge Republican Gov. Tom Corbett, who faces an uphill battle for re-election in November. Idaho and Oregon also held primaries on the busiest night of the year so far on the political calendar. Republican primary struggles between establishmentbacked conservatives and tea party-favored rivals were a dominant feature in several states, as they had been earlier in North Carolina and will be later in Mississippi, Kansas and Alaska.

Thai army declares martial law, denies coup underway as it intervenes in political crisis

A-7

BANGKOK — Thailand’s powerful military chief intervened Tuesday for the first time in the country’s latest political crisis, declaring martial law and dispatching gun-mounted jeeps into the heart of the capital with a vow to resolve the deepening conflict as quickly as possible. The move stopped short of a coup and left the nation’s increasingly cornered caretaker government intact, along with the constitution. Despite a steady stream of army edicts throughout the day that expanded the military’s power and included censorship of news and social media, life continued normally, with residents largely unfazed by the declaration. But the intervention, which follows six months of crippling protests that killed 28 people and injured more than 800, left the country at another precarious crossroads — its fate now squarely in the hands of the military. “The key going forward will be the military’s role in politics,” said Thitinan Pongsudhirak, director of the Institute of Security and International Studies at Bangkok’s Chulalongkorn University. “If they play the role of enforcer of law and order and even mediator ... this could be a resolution to the impasse.” But if they don’t, “we can expect protests and turmoil from the losing side.” — The Associated Press

By HENRY C. JACKSON Associated Press

WASHINGTON — The House passed the closest thing so far this year to an infrastructure bill — a $12 billion-plus bipartisan measure authorizing 34 water projects, ranging from flood protection in California and North Dakota to deepening the Port of Savannah and widening a Texas-Louisiana waterway that services the oil industry. The Water Resources Reform and Development Act passed Tuesday on a 412-4 vote. Lawmakers shook off criticism from conservative and watchdog groups like Heritage Action and Taxpayers for Common Sense that argued the bill should have done more to rein in wasteful government spending. The Senate could vote on the bill before the end of the week, sending it to President Barack Obama for his signature. The legislation is a bipartisan compromise of companion bills passed separately by the House and Senate last year. After months of negotiations, a final deal on it was reached last week. Supporters, including business interests like the U.S. Chamber of Commerce hailed,

it an economy-boosting measure that could deliver thousands of new jobs. “It’s a bipartisan bill, and it is a jobs bill,” said Bill Shuster, chairman of the House Transportation Committee. “It’s certainly going to create construction jobs, but the jobs I’m talking about are when American invests in its infrastructure and keeps us competitive.” Shuster, R-Pa., and other lawmakers also argued the bill was more fiscally responsible than past water projects bills. On the House floor, he noted the bill puts an end to $18 billion in dormant water projects passed before 2007. Rep. Nick Rahall, D-W.Va., said the bill was overdue because the country has fallen behind on its investments in infrastructure. “Many of our coastal ports are ill prepared to take advantage of the expansion of the Panama Canal,” said Rahall, the ranking Democrat on the transportation committee. That was not enough for some critics. A Taxpayers for Common Sense analysis released this week called the bill “a missed opportunity to reform management of our nation’s infrastructure in a fiscally respon-

sible manner.” Adam Kolton, with the National Wildlife Federation, said the bill didn’t do enough to “sort out the beneficial projects from the boondoggles.” He said it also “hurts taxpayers again by increasing subsidies for the already heavily-subsidized navigation industry.” With an estimated cost of $12.3 billion, the measure is a slimmer version of past water project bills. The last one in 2007, for example, had a price tag of $23.3 billion. The new bill addresses pentup demands by lawmakers, including addressing flooding concerns in places like Fargo, North Dakota and the Natomas Basin in the Sacramento, California area. The bill authorizes spending up to $800 million for a flood diversion project that would protect the Red River Valley region of North Dakota and Minnesota, which includes Fargo. The region has suffered major flooding four of the past five years. In California, the bill allows as much as $760 million in federal spending for a project that would strengthen levees of the Natomas Basin in the Sacra-

mento area, which could protect more than 100,000 residents. There are also big investments in projects that improve infrastructure for commerce. The bill sanctions more than $748 million for dredging and widening of the 80-mile-long Sabine-Neches Waterway, which is billed as “America’s Energy Gateway” in servicing oil and natural gas refineries in Texas and Louisiana. It also authorizes $492 million for expanding and deepening the Port of Savannah. Actual funding of all the projects will require separate bills. Congress is expected to consider another key infrastructure bill before the end of the year. A Senate panel last week approved a bill to shore up federal highway programs in time to stop a disruption in in federal transportation aid to states this summer. Besides authorizing specific water projects, Tuesday’s bill makes changes to how future projects are to seek funding. It sets specific time and cost limits for studies on potential projects, eliminates duplicative Army Corps of Engineers reviews and speeds up environmental reviews.

USDA delays whole grains rule for school pastas By MARY CLARE JALONICK Associated Press

WASHINGTON — The Agriculture Department will allow some schools to delay adding more whole-grains to meals this year, responding to criticism from school nutrition officials and Congress that the standards were too difficult to put in place. The delay comes hours after a Republican-led House spending panel criticized the Obama administration’s healthier school-lunch standards and proposed letting some schools opt out of them entirely. USDA said schools can put off for two years a requirement that all pastas in schools be whole-grain rich, or more than half whole grain, if they can demonstrate that they have had “significant challenges” in preparing whole-grain pasta. Many schools have complained that the whole-grain pastas don’t hold together well when cooked. “Schools raised legitimate concerns that acceptable whole-grain rich pasta products were not available,” said Kevin Concannon, USDA undersecretary for food, nutrition and consumer services. “We worked to find a solution which will allow more time for industry to develop products that will work for schools.”

While many students have adapted easily to whole grain breads and rolls, which have been on the market for some time, school nutrition directors say they are having a harder time with pastas, biscuits, tortillas and grits — all popular items on the lunch line. The current requirement is that 50 percent of all grain products be whole-grain rich, but that is set to jump to 100 percent in the next school year. The School Nutrition Association, which represents school nutrition directors and companies that sell food to schools, said the announcement is a good first step. “Getting students to accept whole grain pasta is just one of many challenges school meal programs have faced un-

der USDA regulations,” said Leah Schmidt, president of the group. The GOP spending bill for agriculture and food programs was released Monday and would allow schools to apply for waivers to opt out of the standards if they had a net loss on school food programs for a six month period. A House Appropriations subcommittee approved the bill Tuesday. Championed by first lady Michelle Obama, the healthier standards have been phased in over the last two school years, with more changes coming in 2014.The first lady held a call to rally supporters Monday. In addition to whole grain requirements, the rules set fat, calorie, sugar and sodium limits on foods in the lunch

line and beyond. While many schools have had success putting the rules in place, others have said they are too restrictive and costly. Rep. Robert Aderholt, the Alabama Republican who is chairman of the agriculture appropriations panel, said the school lunch rules have “upset the economics of the school meals program by driving the cost of the plate up while pushing participation down.” In his statement, USDA’s Concannon criticized Republicans for going after the standards. “With one third of American children fighting obesity, we cannot accept politically motivated efforts to undermine standards and deny kids healthier options,” he said.

2 bomb blasts in Nigeria kill at least 118 By AHMED SAKA, and MICHELLE FAUL Associated Press

JOS, Nigeria — Two car bombs exploded at a bustling bus terminal and market in Nigeria’s central city of Jos on Tuesday, killing at least 118 people, wounding dozens and leaving streets strewn with bloodied bodies. There was no immediate claim of responsibility for the twin car bombs. But they bore the hallmarks of Boko Haram, the Islamic extremist group that abducted nearly 300 schoolgirls last month and has repeatedly targeted bus stations and other locations where large numbers of people gather in its campaign to impose Islamic law on Nigeria. The second blast came half an hour after the first, killing some of the rescue workers who had rushed to the scene, which was obscured by billows of black smoke. Dozens of bodies and body parts were covered in grain that had been loaded in the second car bomb, witnesses said. A Terminus Market official said he helped remove 50 casualties, most of them dead. He spoke

‘It’s horrifying, terrible.’ — Mark Lipdo, Stefanos Foundation on condition of anonymity because he is not allowed to give information to reporters. “It’s horrifying, terrible,” said Mark Lipdo of the Stefanos Foundation, a Christian charity based in Jos, who described the sickening smell of burning human flesh. A woman’s body, her legs blown off and her hand reaching out of the flames, lay on the edge of an inferno consuming other bodies. Another woman, unconscious and wrapped in a brightly colored cloth, was being carried away in a wheelbarrow on a road strewn with glass shards. At least 118 people were killed and dozens wounded, according to Nigeria’s National Emergency Management Agency. Fires were still raging in buildings late Tuesday and authorities expect to find more bodies once firefighters get them under control, said Mohammed Abdulsalam, a coordinator for the agency. Tensions have been rising

between Christians and Muslims in Jos, the capital of Plateau state in Nigeria’s Middle Belt region that divides the country into the predominantly Muslim north and Christian south. It is a flashpoint for religious violence. Boko Haram has claimed other recent bomb attacks, including two separate bomb blasts in April that killed more than 120 people and wounded more than 200 in Abuja, the nation’s capital. One went off at Abuja’s busy bus station. A suicide car bomber killed 25 people in northern Kano city on Monday. Police there detonated a second car bomb Monday. They said both would have killed many people but the first exploded before it reached its target of restaurants and bars in the Christian quarter of the Muslim city. Lipdo said at least one of Tuesday’s blasts could have been averted if authorities had acted in time. He said a white

van that held the first bomb was parked for hours in the market place, raising suspicions of vendors and others who reported it to the authorities, but nothing was done. He said authorities also had another warning of impending violence: A man with explosives strapped to his body was arrested on Saturday and told police that many militants had been ordered to plant bombs around churches and public areas in Jos. President Goodluck Jonathan extended sympathies to affected families and said in a statement that he “assures all Nigerians that the government remains fully committed to winning the war against terror.” “This administration will not be cowed by the atrocities of enemies of human progress and civilization,” the statement said. The Nigerian government and military’s failure to curtail the 5-year-old Islamic uprising, highlighted by the mass abduction of at least 276 schoolgirls and lack of progress in rescuing them more than a month later, has caused national and international outrage. Jonathan has been forced to

accept help from several nations including Britain and the United States, in the hunt for the girls, who were kidnapped in northeast Nigeria. It also has brought massive attention to the shadowy extremist group, which is demanding the release of detained insurgents in exchange for the girls — a swap officials say the government will not consider. Diplomats said Nigeria on Tuesday asked a U.N. Security Council committee monitoring sanctions against al-Qaida to add Boko Haram to the list, with an arms embargo and asset freeze. The extremists are threatening to sell the girls into slavery if Jonathan does not free detained insurgents, which officials say he will not do. Boko Haram, whose name means “Western education is sinful,” has targeted schools, as well as churches, mosques, marketplaces, bus terminals and other spots where large numbers of civilians gather in its campaign to turn Nigeria into an Islamic state. Half of Nigeria’s population of 170 million is Christian, as is most of the population of Jos. The militants have increased the

reach of their attacks this year, and their deadliness. On Christmas Eve in 2010, bombs allegedly planted by Boko Haram exploded in Jos, killing as many as 80 people. Meanwhile, more than 300 people have been killed in assaults on towns and villages in recent weeks, and the extremists also are blamed for an attack last week on a Chinese camp in neighboring Cameroon in which one Cameroonian soldier was killed and 10 Chinese workers abducted. Militants’ attacks have been coming with increasing frequency despite a year-old military state of emergency in three of Nigeria’s states to curtail the uprising. The Senate on Tuesday voted to extend the emergency for another six months, but only if Jonathan devotes more money to the military campaign and to better arming demoralized soldiers, who say Boko Haram is better equipped. A letter with the conditions was sent to the president. More than 2,000 people have been killed in the insurgency this year in Africa’s most- populous nation, compared to an estimated 3,600 between 2010 and 2013.

Video prompts look at killing of Palestinian teens By KARIN LAUB Associated Press

JERUSALEM — Securitycamera video showing two unarmed Palestinians crumpling to the ground during a lull in a stone-throwing clash with Israeli soldiers revived allegations by human rights activists Tuesday that the troops often use excessive force. The Israeli rights group B’Tselem said the images back its findings that troops killed the teens without cause by firing live rounds from more than 200 meters away. The soldiers were in “zero danger” at the time, said Sarit Michaeli of B’Tselem. Israeli Defense Minister Moshe Yaalon said, “It was a life-threatening situation, so the

officers acted accordingly.” He said he hadn’t seen the video, but alleged the images had been manipulated through editing. Lt. Col. Peter Lerner, a senior spokesman, said preliminary findings show forces fired only rubber-coated steel pellets, a standard means of crowd control, and did not use live fire. The United Nations and the U.S. State Department called on the Israeli authorities to conduct a transparent investigation. U.N. Assistant SecretaryGeneral Oscar Fernandez-Taranco told the Security Council’s monthly Mideast briefing: “It is of serious concern that initial information appears to indicate that the two Palestinians killed were both unarmed and appeared

to pose no direct threat.” At issue is a clash between Israeli troops and Palestinian stone-throwers May 15 near the West Bank town of Beitouniya, a few hundred meters from an Israeli military base, Ofer. On that day, Palestinians marked the anniversary of their uprooting in the war over Israel’s 1948 creation by holding marches and protests in the West Bank and Gaza. Starting around midday, several dozen Palestinian youths burned tires in a main street and threw stones toward Israeli troops, according to witnesses and B’Tselem. Troops fired rubber bullets, but also four live rounds, said resident Fakher Zayed, who said he witnessed the confron-

tation from his balcony. Four security cameras mounted on Zayed’s building captured the events on the street below. The security footage first surfaced late Monday when a local advocacy group, Defense for Children International Palestine, released excerpts that it said showed the two fatal shootings. B’Tselem later obtained the unedited footage, which was also given to The Associated Press, and said there was no indication the images had been tampered with. In the first incident, clocked by the time stamp at 1:45 p.m., a figure with a backpack walks from the left side of the street toward a group of Palestinians standing near a building wall on the other side. Suddenly, the

figure falls to the ground. Those near the wall rush to him and he is carried away. There was sporadic stonethrowing for several minutes before the incident. In the second incident, clocked at 2:58 p.m. at the same location, a Palestinian walks from the wall toward the middle of the street. After a few steps, he falls to the ground. There was no stone-throwing at the time. AP footage from the day of the incident showed the evacuation of the second victim, who was wearing a green flag of the Islamic militant group Hamas like a cape and had thrown stones earlier. The security camera video does not show a source of gunfire or a shooter in either inci-

dent. The AP cameraman who was present during the confrontations said the video is in line with what he witnessed. The bodies of the slain teens were taken to Ramallah Hospital. They were identified as Nadim Nawara and Mohammed Abu Dhaher, both 17. B’Tselem later said Abu Dhaher’s actual last name is Salameh. The head of the emergency department, Dr. Samir Saliba, said at the time that both were killed by live fire to the upper body. He said Nawara was shot in the chest and the second teen in the right side of his back. A third Palestinian was shot and seriously wounded in the chest, Saliba said. B’Tselem obtained copies of the medical reports.

Pro-Russian rebels in Ukraine face citizen anger By ALEXANDER ZEMLIANICHENKO and JIM HEINTZ Associated Press

SLOVYANSK, Ukraine — From the country’s richest man to citizens under fire, anger and dismay over Ukraine’s eastern turmoil gained strength Tuesday, but pro-Russian rebels who have declared the region independent vowed defiance. In Kiev, home to the central government that the separatists detest, lawmakers passed a memorandum that guaranteed the status of Russian as Ukraine’s second official language and proposed government decentralization. While the document offered no specifics or timeframe, Russia — which long had pressed for both commitments — offered words of guarded welcome. “If what you are saying is true, this is the development we have been speaking about for the past months,” Russian Deputy Foreign Minister Grigory Karasin was quoted as telling state news agency RIA Novosti. In Mariupol, an eastern Ukrainian city that suffered fatal clashes this month between protesters and police, workers at a steel mill stopped their labor at noon as a siren blew. They gathered for a speech from the company’s chief condemning the separatist movement known as the Donetsk People’s Republic. “We are here because Mari-

‘No one will frighten us, including those calling themselves a Donetsk People’s Republic.’ — Rinat Akhmetov, Ukraine’s richest man upol needs a peaceful sky above us. Tanks and guns have no place in our city,” said mill worker Sergey Kulitsh. The plant is part of the industrial empire of Rinat Akhmetov, regarded as Ukraine’s richest man, who had called for his workers to attend noontime protests. The tycoon vowed to challenge the insurgents who declared independence last week in the Donetsk and Luhansk regions, home to 6.5 million people. “No one will frighten us, including those calling themselves a Donetsk People’s Republic,” Akhmetov said in a statement. Last week, his company organized steelworkers to patrol alongside police in Mariupol. The move forced insurgents to vacate government buildings they had seized in the Black Sea port. Ukrainian Interior Minister Arsen Avakov hailed Akhmetov’s move as likely to “sweep the terrorist scum away better than any counterterrorist operation.” One rebel leader in Donetsk,

Ukraine is holding a presidential election Sunday, which the government in Kiev hopes will unite the country behind a new leader. Separatists exchanged fire again Tuesday with government forces on the outskirts of Slovyansk — the epicenter of the rebellion against the government — as residents voiced their anger over the fighting. Yekaterina Len, whose house was hit by a mortar shell, burst into tears as she looked at the wreckage. The 61-year-old spent the night with neighbors. Residents complained that rebels’ gunfire at government troops was drawing retaliatory fire and endangering their homes. “They must stop with this banditry so that there can be peace!” said resident Lina Sidorenko. “How much longer can this go on?

Such withdrawal activity, if confirmed, would ease fears that the Krem-

lin was positioned to invade eastern Ukraine and seize the country’s industrial heartland. But NATO, which estimates that Russia has 40,000 troops along the border, said it had no evidence of a Russian withdrawal. NATO spokeswoman Oana Lungescu challenged the Russians “to prove that they are doing, what they are saying.”

Cubs put end to Tanaka’s streak, top Yanks The Associated Press

CHICAGO (AP) — Masahiro Tanaka had his regular-season unbeaten streaked snapped at 42 starts, allowing a career-high four runs in six innings, and last-place Chicago beat New York 6-1. The Cubs honored the retiring Derek Jeter before the game, then handed Tanaka his first loss in nine major league starts. Tanaka (6-1) had been 34-0 in Japan and North America the last two seasons. He did drop Game 6 of the Japan Series last year before earning the save in Game 7. He hadn’t lost a regular-season game since the Seibu Lions beat the Rakuten Golden Eagles on Aug. 19, 2012. Jason Hammel (5-2) pitched solid ball into the sixth and Hector Rondon retired Jeter on a grounder with the

Cavs once again Heat get even with Pacers lottery winners Indiana starts hot but BRIAN MAHONEY AP Basketball Writer

NEW YORK (AP) — The Cleveland Cavaliers’ lottery luck just keeps going. The Cavaliers continued their remarkable run Tuesday, winning the No. 1 pick in the NBA draft for the second straight year and third time in the last four. They moved up from the ninth spot, when they had just a 1.7 percent chance of winning the top selection. “It seems surreal,” Cavs vice chairman Jeff Cohen said. “This is three out of four years and we had a 1.7 percent chance of coming up with the first pick and we pulled it off again.” They drafted Kyrie Irving first in 2011 and will hope to do better with this win than last year, when they took Anthony Bennett, who had a forgettable rookie season. Nick Gilbert, the son of Cleveland owner Dan Gilbert, was on the podium for the previous two wins, but general manager David Griffin was there this time. Griffin had a pin on his lapel from his late grandmother and was carrying one of Nick Gilbert’s bowties, which was as lucky in his breast pocket as it was with Nick wearing it. The Cavs can now choose among the likes of Andrew Wiggins and Joel Embiid of Kansas, Duke’s Jabari Parker, or another player from what’s considered a deep draft. “This means everything,” Cohen said. “This is the deepest draft arguably since LeBron (James) and Dwyane Wade and Chris Bosh and Carmelo An-

thony came out.” The Cavs won that one, too, in 2003, when they picked James. But they have been lottery regulars since he bolted for Miami in 2010, and they want that to stop. “Rebuilding is a process and we lost a player a number of years back that it was going (to take) some time. Quite frankly it’s taken a little bit longer then we’d like, but we’ve been patient,” Cohen said. “I think now is the time we’re going to reap the rewards of our patience.” The Milwaukee Bucks fell one spot to second and the Philadelphia 76ers will draft third. The Bucks had a 25 percent chance of winning after a league-worst 15-67 record, but the team with the best odds hasn’t won since 2004. The expected strength of the class led to speculation that teams were tanking in hopes of getting a high pick. But the Cavs had playoff expectations, hoping a strong season could make them attractive to James if he was interested in returning home as a free agent. Nick Gilbert said last year he expected the Cavs to be done with the lottery, but they were right back in Times Square after a disappointing season that resulted in them firing Mike Brown after just one year and a 33-49 record in his second stint with the team. Another top selection surely will make Cleveland more attractive to prospective coaches. The city of Cleveland may be on a 50-year championship drought, but sure does have this See CAVS, page A-11

She beat second-place qualifier Kathleen Scavo by seven strokes at Half Moon Bay.

Miami finishes strong

MICHAEL MAROT AP Sports Writer

INDIANAPOLIS (AP) — LeBron James scored six straight points to spark a decisive 12-2 run, and the Miami Heat beat the Indiana Pacers 87-83 on Tuesday night to leave the Eastern Conference finals tied at a game apiece. James had 12 of his 22 points in the fourth quarter. Dwyane Wade had 23 points, 13 in the first half when the Heat desperately needed them to stay close, and 10 more in the fourth quarter when they had to rally. Game 3 is Saturday in Miami. Lance Stephenson tied his playoff career high with 25 points for the Pacers. Paul George scored 14. The Heat trailed 73-69 with 7:19 left. But James hit a 3-pointer, and then scored the first six points in the rally and the Heat defense gave up only eight points over the final five minutes. Miami has won 11 straight games following a playoff loss and still has not trailed 2-0 in a series since the first round of the 2012 playoffs. At times, the rough-and-tumble night took on the aura of a football game, especially late. George and Wade banged knees while chasing a loose ball, then returned following the ensuing timeout. James crashed hard awkwardly to the floor when West was called for a flagrant one foul in the fourth quarter — a call later changed to a common foul following a replay review. “That’s what’s it’s about,” James said. “It’s not going to be pretty. Not in the Eastern Conference. It’s never pretty basketball in the Eastern Conference. It’s about who can sustain runs. You know, who can get defensive stops? Who can not turn the ball over and who can get great shots? I think we did that in the fourth.” Defense clearly was the theme of Game 2. Two days after allowing the Pacers to score 107 points, their most in this year’s postseason, Miami rallied in the first half by holding Indiana to just nine points over one 10-minute stretch. And they flipped the game late with a suffocating defense, too. “We fly around. Game 1 we didn’t fly around,” James said. “We let them dictate everything that they wanted and we didn’t play Miami Heat defense. That’s what’s good about this team, we go back, we watch the film, we own up to what we did, the mistakes that we had, and then we come out and make it happen.” It was not easy against a Pacers team that chased home-court advantage all season — only to squander it in the first two games of each of the first three playoff series. Now they’ll need a win at Miami to get it back. The home team had won all five of this season’s previous five games between the Eastern powers, and eight straight overall, including last season’s playoff series. Indiana was in a strong position when it

went on a 10-2 third-quarter run to retake a 47-45 lead and eventually extended the lead to 63-56 with 2:07 left in the third quarter. But James found Chris Bosh and Norris Cole for open 3-pointers to close the quarter, getting Miami within 63-62. Indiana again had a chance to take control after George hit a 29-footer to make it 73-69 with 7:19 to go. James then took over again. He hit a 3 to make it a one-point game, and after Roy Hibbert made a 6-foot hook shot, James scored six straight to start the 12-2 run that put the game away. “We’re never satisfied until we close out the series. We’ve got a lot of

work to do,” James said. “We’ve got a couple days off. Those are mental days for us to go through the film, see the ways we can get better even though we played a great game. We’re going to get after it when we get back to Miami and get back to our home fans.” NOTES: Miami coach Erik Spoelstra started Udonis Haslem instead of Shane Battier. Center Greg Oden was still inactive. ... George was just 1 of 11 from the field in the first half. ... There were 21 lead changes and seven ties after having none of either in Game 1. ... Helio Castroneves and Juan Pablo Montoya, both Indy 500 champions, attended the game.

2018 Super Bowl awarded to $1B Minneapolis stadium BARRY WILNER AP Pro Football Writer

ATLANTA (AP) — Build it and the Super Bowl will come. That message rang loud and clear Tuesday when Minneapolis was awarded the 2018 game after a vote by owners rewarded the city for its new stadium deal. The owners chose Minneapolis and the $1 billion stadium planned for the site of the old Metrodome to host the championship over New Orleans and Indianapolis. “In large part, it was due to recognition of the great work they’ve done on the stadium,” Commissioner Roger

Goodell noted. “It’s been 10 years and we’ve always been driving to build a stadium,” Vikings owner Zygi Wilf said. “We can rejoice right now for being rewarded this, but the hard work comes now.” New Orleans bid committee members were certain the new Minneapolis stadium, set to open in 2016, swung the vote. The stadium will hold up to 72,000 for the Super Bowl. “The new stadium was absolutely the deciding factor,” Greater New Orleans Sports Foundation President Jay Cicero said. “Any time that there is so much public support for a $1 billion stadium, the NFL owners are im-

pressed. “We did everything we were supposed to do, had a fantastic presentation. In the end we think the stadium did it.” The big game will be staged in the Twin Cities for the second time. It was there in 1992, when Washington beat Buffalo. It will be there in 2018 because the Vikings lobbied for years to replace the aging Metrodome, one of the NFL’s least profitable facilities. When Minnesota political leaders realized the team could move out of state without a new home, the stadium project moved forward. Legislators in 2012 approved the stadium, C

with taxpayers carrying about 56 percent of the freight. Owners needed four ballots to choose Minneapolis, with Indianapolis the first city eliminated. Indy was praised for a highly successful 2012 Super Bowl, but could have been hurt by the recent legal troubles of Colts owner Jim Irsay. Irsay underwent treatment after he was arrested and accused of having $29,000 in cash and bottles of prescription drugs in his car. He made his first public appearance at these meetings since the arrest. Irsay said Indianapolis will bid again. “Before, we had to lose one to get

one,” he said, noting Indy fell short in previous bids before landing the 2012 game. “It will take persistence and we know we have the type of people who will be that.” New Orleans was considered the favorite and has staged the Super Bowl 10 times, tied with South Florida for the most. Its bid might have been damaged by the blackout that interrupted the 2013 title game. Next year’s game is in Glendale, Arizona, followed by Santa Clara, California, for the 50th Super Bowl, then Houston. Earlier at their spring meetings, NFL owners tabled any vote expanding the playoffs to 14 teams.

. . . Fire Continued from page A-1

Wednesday and establish their command post in the building, according to a media release. In Kasilof, where dense smoke dominated the skyline Tuesday, spectators pulled off of the Sterling Highway throughout the day to take photographs and watch the fire grow. While flames were not readily identifiable from the highway, firefighters reported flame lengths of 125 feet according to the release. Sherry Gilbert and her husband Jim Gilbert left their home in Kasilof to get a closer look at the position of the wildfire as smoke encircling their home made the two think they could be trapped. “I couldn’t get her to do any work,” Jim said. Sherry said she had been keeping the radio on to listen for updates on the location of the fire. “I’ve never been close to a fire like this,” she said. “The radio hasn’t really been talking about it. Not really.” She said she was worried about how she and her neighbors would get updates if the fire changed directions and headed toward populated areas of the Kenai Peninsula. While the couple stood watching the flames, several other vehicles stopped while drivers and passengers stared at the smoke plumes. Each new arrival asked for updates from people who had already stopped — several said they’d never been close to a wildfire. As the 40 firefighters from the Chena Interagency Hotshots and Gannett Glacier Fire Crew worked on the fire, Kenai Peninsula Borough officials also monitored the situation. Scott Walden, Kenai Peninsula Borough Emergency Management Director, said the borough had an emergency plan in place and would use a reverse 911 system to call targeted areas in the event that an evacuation order is issued. Fire crews have set up a flank point and concentrated

efforts on keeping the fire from advancing past the western edge of Fox Lake, Alexandrou said. Crews worked until midnight Monday and started up again at about 6 a.m. Tuesday, he said. “We are bulking up with six more crews to give the local guys a break from the fire and concentrate on initial attack fires,” Alexandrou said. “The last thing we want is to have injuries due to fatigue. We will gladly receive reinforcements with open arms.” Four water-scooping planes out of Williams Lake, British Columbia were expected to arrive Tuesday evening. The planes are able to pick up water from Tustumena Lake to douse the flames, he said. Vince Spady, air tanker base manager at Kenai Municipal Airport, said two tankers contracted from Conair Aviation out of Abbotsford, British Columbia made 12 runs Monday between the Funny River fire and Tyonek fire, with six dumps of water on the Funny River fire and 6 retardant and water dumps at Tyonek. Tuesday, the planes had made seven dumps between them as of 3 p.m. The tankers are limited to 10-hour days and hold 2,000 gallons in each load. Their tanks take four minutes to fill, Spady said. With the remote nature of the Funny River fire and its location on the Kenai National Wildlife Refuge, water has primarily been dropped to control its advance. At least one load of retardant was dumped near Tustumena Lake to prevent the fire from reaching a cabin, Spady said. He said the “ducks,” or scooper planes, will help tremendously with the amount of water they can hold and their ability to replenish quickly from the nearby lake. “If we do get an east wind and the fire starts blowing toward homes, I’m not sure what’s going to happen,” he said. Alexandrou said while the Division of Forestry has received calls from residents in Kasilof and Clam Gulch concerned about the direction of the fire, there has not been any direct wind from the east that

would push the fire west toward Cook Inlet. Smoke from the Funny River Road fire also prompted the Alaska Department of Environmental Conservation to issue an air quality advisory on Tuesday morning. Dense smoke being blown south is impacting Kasilof, Ninilchik, Homer and nearby Kachemak Bay and lower Kenai Peninsula communities. The DEC has classified air quality as between good and unhealthy. Immediately downwind of the fire, air quality is classified as hazardous. “Unhealthy” means that people with respiratory or heart disease, children and the elderly should avoid any outdoor activity. Everyone else should avoid prolonged exertion. “Hazardous” means everyone should avoid any outdoor exertion and that those at high risk should remain indoors. Air quality can be estimated by looking at visibility. If visibility is 1.5-2.5 miles, air quality is unhealthy. If .9 to 1.4 miles, air quality is very unhealthy. If .8 miles or less, air quality is hazardous. The National Weather Service also issued a red flag warning because of strong winds for the entire western Kenai Peninsula. A red flag warning means that critical fire weather conditions are imminent or occurring. Winds are 10 to 20 mph with gusts to 30 mph near Cook Inlet. Relative humidity is 20 to 30 percent. The red flag warn-

ing was in effect until 10 p.m. Tuesday. Walden said while he has not received an evacuation declaration from the Division of Forestry, the borough has a plan in place in the event one would be needed. The borough developed a plan for Ninilchick following the 2009 Shanta Creek wildfire, which burned more than 13,000 acres. Walden said he has been in contact with the DEC about the air quality and if people with known respiratory problems feel the need to leave their homes they should have a plan in mind on where to go and make sure they bring enough supplies and let people know where they are going. “I cannot stress this enough: no evacuation has been ordered,” he said. “But sometimes the weather changes and we have to act quickly.” Kenai Municipal Airport Manager Mary Bondurant said while flight service has not been affected in Kenai, the Soldotna airport has been closed to all outside flights with the exception of fire traffic. Earlier Tuesday, Alexandrou told the Clarion that the fire was likely human-caused, though it is unclear exactly how it started, he said. “It could have been a campfire, or an exhaust system from a recreational vehicle, we don’t know,” he said. The Homer News contributed to this report.

JUNEAU — TITLE: “Never Forget” LENGTH: 30 seconds KEY IMAGES: This ad sponsored by Put Alaska First, an independent expenditure group that supports Democratic U.S. Sen. Mark Begich, features a man identified as Adam Peterson of Anchorage, who says being able to hunt in places like where he shot his first moose is what Alaska is all about. But Peterson says that could change if Sullivan gets his way. He says Sullivan came up with a plan to “give the government more power to take these public lands away with no input from you and me. I’ve hunted these lands, I’m gonna hunt these lands with my boys and I’m not gonna give it up without a fight.” The ad ends with the tag: “Dan Sullivan He’s not one of us” ANALYSIS: The ad focuses on HB77, a bill introduced by Gov. Sean Parnell last year as a way to make the state permitting process more efficient. Sullivan, one of three prominent GOP hopefuls vying to take on Begich later this year, was a public face for the bill during the 2013 session, when he was Natural Resources commissioner. Critics of the bill said it gave the commissioner too much power and limited public input in permitting decisions. The bill died this past session after failed attempts to rewrite it. Sullivan’s campaign on Tuesday called the ad misleading for suggesting hunting access could have been restricted by the bill. Jim Lottsfeldt, Put Alaska First’s treasurer, defended the ad, saying by email that the “hugely controversial sections” of the bill were Sullivan’s “babies. He was the originator.” He said the ad was based on a section of the bill dealing with

Ad Watch general permits that would have given the commissioner “almost unlimited power over state land.” The bill, as introduced, said “notwithstanding any other provision of law,” the Natural Resources commissioner could authorize an activity on state land by issuing a general permit if he or she found the activity unlikely to result in “significant and irreparable” harm to state land or resources. That provision was one of the most contentious. The Senate Resources Committee, in trying to salvage the bill earlier this year, proposed striking the “notwithstanding” clause and further clarifying that section. But the bill remained divisive, and Parnell asked that it be held — allowed to die, essentially — “because of widespread misinformation” over several sections of it, his spokeswoman has said. Wyn Menefee, chief of operations for the state Division of Mining, Land and Water within the Department of Natural Resources, said he didn’t see a connection between hunting access and the general permits provision. “Unless they’re taking it to the extreme,” he said, referencing a concern that had been raised during debate on the bill that the general-permit section would allow the department to do whatever it wanted, wherever it wanted. But he said that’s not how it works. HB77 also did not create a new encumbrance on land that the department couldn’t already have done, he said. For example, Menefee said the department now could allow for a facility to be built on state land that would mean someone could not hunt at that very spot. There are often exclusions on state lands when the department authorizes something, he said. C

Named for a Russian ballerina, dreamy Pavlova is sweet, airy and light on its feet

avlova is a meringuebased dessert named after Russian ballet dancer Anna Pavlova (18811931). There is disagreement whether pavlova was created in New Zealand or Australia, but several sources lean toward crediting it to New Zealand following one of the ballerina’s tours to those countries in 1926. With its crisp outer shell and marshmallowy center, a meringue base serves as the pedestal for pavlova, which is then topped with billows of whipped cream and fresh fruit. The vibrant colors and juicy sweetness of mixed berries, like raspberries, blackberries, blueberries and strawberries, were my choice for the

pavlova here, with the results, as you can readily see, nothing short of stunning. Despite how complicated the dessert may appear to prepare, pavlova is really quite simple to construct with the whole of the dessert

an impressive sum of its luscious parts. So, when enjoying pavlova, be sure to get it all – the meringue, the whipped cream and the fruit – on to the spoon and into your mouth in one fell swoop. Like Pavolova’s 1910 performance of The Dying Swan at the Metropolitan Opera in New York City, your presentation of pavlova, the dessert, will likely take down the house with demands for encores to follow. Sue Ade is a syndicated food writer with broad experience and interest in the culinary arts.

Like the ballerina Anna Pavlova herself, for whom pavlova, the dessert, is named, the ethereal qualities of meringue-based pavlova makes it delicate and light – and utterly magnificent to behold. Since meringue tends to absorb moisture from the air, which can make it soggy, plan to bake meringue on a day free of humidity.

Turn the oven off, leave the oven door slightly ajar, and let the meringue cool completely in the oven, 1 to 2 hours. When the meringue is cool, remove pan from oven, carefully removing meringue from the parchment paper. (If planning to use the meringue right away, meringue should be placed directly on a serving dish. (If your meringue attains a few cracks, or sinks a bit in the middle, do not be alarmed. This is normal. If everything goes right, the meringue shell should be firm and crisp on the outside and soft and marshmallowy on the inside.) Alternatively, meringue may be stored in a cool, dry place, in an airtight container, for up to three days.

To whip the cream Chill the clean bowl of an electric mixer and the whisk attachment in the freezer for 10 minutes. Place the sugar in the mixing bowl, adding the cream and vanilla. Beat on high speed until medium peaks form, about 1 minute; do not overbeat or your whipped cream will turn into butter.

To assemble and serve Mound whipped cream into completely cooled meringue shell. Top whipped cream with berries. If desired, dust with confectioners’ sugar and garnish with a fresh mint sprig. Cut into wedges and serve. This dessert does not hold well, so plan to enjoy it shortly after it has been assembled. Makes 8 servings. This fully baked and cooled meringue shell is flawless –crisp on the outside and soft and marshmallowy on the inside. Its color will be a very pale beige to an almost seashell pink.

Cut into wedges and served in a shallow bowl, Pavlova with Mixed Berries is the picture of perfection. C

About what if’s 1940’S to Now

everal years ago I was given a little book from my grandson, Michael and my great grand daughter Cecile, that is entitled”Grandma Tell Me Your Memories.” Through the years I have filled out pages that have different questions on them and the month and day. One of the questions is “If you could return to your childhood what would you do differently?” I wrote “ Be happier and not worry so much about what other people thought. Spend more time with my Mom and Dad, playing more with my Sisters and Brothers. Learn more from Mom. Ask questions about their past and how Mom and Dad met.” Well, how they met will always be a mystery, and I did learn a lot from my Mom and I did spend a lot of time asking my Dad questions. “Dad why is my hair white and your hair is wavy brown and Moms is black?” He replied “I found you out behind the wood shed.” From then on, I worried that I was adopted until I saw a picture of my Grandma Cogswell when I was age 12 - I looked just like her! I am the oldest in the John McClure family and I loved to”take care”of my two sisters, Ginger and Elaine, as instructed by my Mom. I learned to run from my brother John, who loved to tease me although he was a year younger than me. I loved to rock my little brother Jim and my little sister Elaine to sleep in the wooden rocking chair or to swing them in the old rope swing. Those are memories I cherish. However I also learned from my mom “the what if’s.” Comb your hair and wash your hands, what if we have company? Stay clean, don’t splash through mud puddles,

my shoes, black and white “saddle oxfords” (we had one pair for school and a dress pair for church) and making sure I looked just right before I climbed on the school bus in my teen years. I never passed a mirror without looking to see if everything was perfect-and if it wasn’t I worried about that!! I also spent most of my young life worrying about pleasing Mom and Dad. Or my Mom admonishments, “You kids just wait until your Dad comes in from the field!’ We had to line up on the old couch in the corner of the kitchen and wait for Dad to come in-wait for Mom to tell him how bad we had been-and then wait for my Dad to make up his mind what he was going to say or do-so HE could please my Mom. We usually ended up filing out to the barn, setting on a hay bale, while Dad pulled up the milk stool and told his stories. Then he would say stand up Ann -he would whip off his belt-smack the center post of the barn three times-tell me to sit down-tell my brother “Butch or Sonny as we called him” stand up, and he smacked the center post three times and tell us to make a lot of noise. By the time he got to my little sister Ginger, he just picked her up as she was already sobbing, told us to act like we had been spanked with his belt. We filed back into the house, Dad carrying Ginger, trying to act like we were sad and had a sore bottom. It sure was hard not to smile! Mom didn’t do this very often, but when she did we did not worry too much of the consequences dealt out by my Dad. And what did you worry about-and what do you worry about now? I am not telling what I worry about now!

put your shoes on before you answer the knock at the door. Those were what if’s that are still linger with me. Always be pleasant - say Please and Thank You. Smile and be friendly to everyone. Change your underwear everyday. Don’t pick you nose! And she always said us as we went out the door -”YOU BE NICE!” If you ask Susan, she says I say that! When I reached my teens and was shown how to wear makeup by Mrs Burke in Home Ec.. My Mom would not allow me to wear lipstick around the house-what if Grandma and Grandpa or you Dad saw you? So when I got on the bus in the morning the first thing I did was put lipstick on - but I had to be sixteen to do this. The contrast today with the youngest of girls wearing makeup, and clothes that my family would not think was “proper” boggles my mind. The question on the next page of this little book, “Is there anything you would do differently as a teenager. I wrote “ Not worry so much!” Oh my goodness the list is long-I spent hours combing my hair after I spent hours every night curling my straight as string hair with bobby pins. I spent My wish is - Keep Our Amerhours ironing my clothes, mak- ica Safe! Protect those who are ing sure everything I was go- suffering and Thank You God ing to wear matched.

This is very easy and can be made on top of the stove or in the oven. 1 tablespoon oil 1/2 onion, diced 1/4 cup green or red bell pepper diced 1/4 cup celery, finely sliced 1 pound boneless, skinless chicken breasts or thighs 1 can of cream of chicken, cream of mushroom, or cream of celery soup-undiluted 1 can evaporated milk-you can use 2% milk if you like, but it changes the flavor.

Heat in a large skillet, the oil, sauté the vegetables, add chicken, and cook for 6 to 7 min. per side until golden. Blend together the canned soup and milk, stir into skillet. Reduce heat, cover and simmer about 15 min. until chicken juices run clear. Serve with mashed potatoes or noodles or rice. I serve mine right from the skillet. NOTE: To bake in the oven, after stirring the soup and milk into the skillet, transfer to a buttered baking dish or casserole, sprinkle with pepper and a few bread crumbs. Bake for 30 min. YUMMY!

BEAR CHILI Through the years I have been asked for recipes using bear, goat and moose. Here is a recipe for using bear, but I bet moose and goat would be OK too. I have not made this but am told it is very good. I will take your word for it! 1 pound ground bear meat 1 or 2 onions chopped 2 stalks celery chopped 1 or 2 clove garlic minced 2-16 ounce cans tomato sauce 3 to 5 tablespoons chili powder 1/3 teaspoon or more cayenne pepper 1-8 ounce can tomato paste dash of tabasco sauce 1-15 ounce canned kidney beans-drain

Over medium heat in a large heavy skillet, brown meat in one tablespoon oil. Add onions, celery, garlic and tomato sauce. Simmer until onions and celery are tender, stir in remaining ingredients and simmer for 30 min. Serves four. You could put this on your wood stove and simmer all day.

Food truck teaches skills for those in need ST. LOUIS (AP) — The food truck that travels around the St. Louis area is known for its sweets — gooey butter bars, rocky road cupcakes. In fact, it serves a higher purpose — providing job training for people with head injuries and disorders such as autism. The St. Louis Post-Dispatch officials at the Center for Head Injury Services came up with the idea after the economy soured in 2008. The economic collapse made it even more

difficult to find work for those with disabilities. “So we decided to take matters into our own hands and create jobs,” the nonprofit’s Donna Gunning said. “Some people could pre-measure things, others might mix frosting or be good at the decorative part.” Gunning opted for a food truck, and Destination Desserts was the result. The nonprofit business began in 2012 with help from grants from the Kessler Foundation

‘I would love for that to happen more often, because we want to affect more people’s lives.’ — Denise Samuels, program director Destination Desserts and Developmental Disabilities Resources. It sold 15,000 dozen cookies to corporations and others that first winter. About a year ago the food

truck actually hit the streets. The truck, retrofitted with a galley kitchen, is bright pink and decorated with drawings of cupcakes and cookies.

Laura Schweitzer, 30, who was injured in a shooting, once planned to be a language teacher. She now has found satisfaction decorating specialty sugar cookies. Schweitzer wasn’t able to work quickly enough to keep a private-sector job, she said. She’s been at Destination Desserts since October. “When my other job let me go, it was devastating for me,” she said. “Here I create some of the designs and decorate with much greater freedom.”

Destination Desserts had $68,000 in sales last year, and is on pace for $105,000 in 2014, program director Denise Samuels said. The goal, Samuels said, is to train the disabled so they could graduate to private-sector jobs. So far, two workers have moved on, one to culinary school. “I would love for that to happen more often, because we want to affect more people’s lives,” she said.

Tomatoes and balsamic vinegar in ice cream? Yes! BY MICHELE KAYAL Associated Press

Coming soon to a freezer aisle near you — balsamic vinegar ice cream. Plus, hot sauce ice cream. And maybe even tomato. “You’re seeing the same kinds of trends in ice cream that you’re seeing in other foods,” says Peggy Armstrong, spokeswoman for the International Dairy Foods Association. “People are willing to experiment.” Just a generation ago, Americans mostly bought their ice cream at the supermarket in recognizable flavors that occasionally sported chocolate chips or a swirl of some kind. Today, regular old ice cream has been joined by boutique items such as gelato, sorbet and water ice, as well as an army of flavors that seem more at home in an Italian restaurant — opal basil lemon sorbet, anyone? — than in your local freezer aisle. Americans ate nearly 1.6

billion gallons of ice cream and other frozen dairy desserts in 2012. But traditional ice cream’s share of that market has been shrinking, edged out by specialty items such as frozen yogurt and gelato. In 2012, production of regular ice cream hit its lowest point since 1996, the Dairy Foods Association says, hitting fewer than 900 million gallons. Boutique scoop shops and artisanal producers have flooded the landscape during the last five to 10 years, introducing audiences to a wider range of flavors and textures. Cumin and honey butterscotch, salty vanilla, and pumpernickel are typical of Jeni’s Splendid Ice Creams, an Ohio-based producer that has gone national. Uber-hip Coolhaus, which has parlayed ice cream trucks and storefronts into distribution in 2,000 supermarkets, offers Cuban cigar, spicy pineapplecilantro and even fried chicken and waffle ice cream.

‘A lot of vegetables have a very sweet flavor. Like corn. Even when you make it salty, it’s still sweet and milky.’ — Jeni Britton Bauer, Jeni’s Splendid Ice Creams “The flavor we thought nobody would buy was balsamic fig mascarpone, and that’s the one we’re out of,” says Coolhaus co-founder Natasha Case about the company’s recent experience at a trade show. “All the buyers want that one. Two years ago, we were out of vanilla. That buyer at that show who does five to 300 grocery chains wants to know what’s cool, whereas before they just wanted to know that you could do vanilla well.” Vanilla remains supreme, Armstrong says, but the massmarket producers represented by her organization are branching out. At the association’s annual ice cream technology C

conference in April, producers showcased flavors such as Mexican-spiced chocolate and hot sauce ice cream. Ice cream flavors such as caramel popcorn, coffee-and-doughnuts, cotton candy and peanut butter s’mores also are destined for supermarket shelves. Though we are in an intense period of flavor experimentation, the desire to go beyond chocolate, vanilla and strawberry dates to the post-World War II era, says Laura B. Weiss, author of “Ice Cream: A Global History.” That’s when Howard Johnson, known for his roadside restaurants, tried to convince Americans to indulge in his famous 28 flavors. Among

them: maple walnut, burgundy cherry and fruit salad. “This was really pretty revolutionary,” Weiss says. “Going beyond chocolate, vanilla and strawberry really began with Howard Johnson.” Even today’s most exoticsounding new flavors make sense on some level. Candied sweet potato, a flavor being explored by Parker Products in Ft. Worth, Texas, has its roots in Southern sweet potato pie. Ice cream behemoth HaagenDazs recently launched tomato ice cream in Japan, as well as a carrot-orange flavor. And why not, says Jeni Britton Bauer of Jeni’s Splendid Ice Creams. “A lot of vegetables have a very sweet flavor,” she says. “Like corn. Even when you make it salty, it’s still sweet and milky.” Producers also are tackling whiskey, beer and other alcohols in new ways. Jeni’s Splendid makes a cherrywood smoked porter ice cream studded with

rosemary-sprinkled bar nuts. High Road Craft Ice Cream in Marietta, Georgia, makes a bourbon-burnt sugar flavor. “Ice cream is a great canvas for evoking those flavors and speaking to those profiles, but also having fun with the cocktails, the old fashioneds and the Manhattans,” says Coolhaus’ Case. “And I don’t have to card people. It’s a food.” The next revolution, ice cream watchers say, will be in creating more texturally sophisticated ice creams. Customers are beginning to demand smoother, creamier products that suggest the hand of the artisan. “Just in the way that people have learned to crave sophisticated flavors, they now want textures where the mouth-feel is really rich and delicious,” Weiss says. “The next thing is texture. It can be a fabulous flavor, but if it doesn’t feel really smooth and creamy and rich, it loses something.”

Crossword

Childhood sexual abuse still haunts adult survivor DEAR ABBY: After years of carrying this guilt, I want to tell my story. It may help others. When my grandfather tried to rape me, it was at night when everyone was asleep. I stopped him as much as a 10-year-old could. The next day he wrote me a letter saying he was sorry for what he did. It read, “If your dad finds out, it will KILL HIM.” Strong words for a 10-year-old, so I buried the letter in the back yard. He never touched me again. Five years after that, Grandpa was arrested for molesting my younger brothers. As a young girl, I didn’t know men molested boys. I found out after my grandfather went to prison that he had also molested my dad and his sister when they were children. Please warn parents to educate their children. Tell them that even someone they love does not have the right to touch them in a way that makes them uncomfortable. My dad felt guilty for the rest of his life for what happened to us because he had let this monster back into his life. If this saves one person from the shame and guilt I have carried, it will have been worth it. — WISH I HAD TOLD IN FLORIDA DEAR WISH YOU HAD TOLD: I agree with you about the importance of parents teaching children the difference between an appropriate touch and one that isn’t, and how to set boundar-

ies. If those boundaries are violated, children should be instructed to immediately tell an adult. If it’s not a parent, then tell a teacher, counselor or school nurse, all of whom are mandated reporters. Children should also tell if a friend confides it has happened to him or her, because secrets like this are harmful not only to the victim, but also to any Abigail Van Buren children in the vicinity who might also be at risk. It may assuage your guilt to know that molesters often blackmail their victim into silence. I heard recently from a woman who said her father told her when she was a child that if she revealed what he was doing, he would kill himself. (It wasn’t until many years later that she finally realized if he had, he would have been doing everyone, including her sister, a favor.) DEAR ABBY: I am 26 and have been dating this guy I really like for three months. He is great.

My biggest setback is his body hair. He honestly has more body hair than I have ever seen. This has kept me from being physically attracted to him. I think everything is moving in the right direction, but I don’t know what to do about this issue. Should I love him how he is, or ask him to get rid of it? I don’t want him to feel self-conscious because he’s an awesome guy. — IN A HAIRY SITUATION IN ARIZONA DEAR IN A HAIRY SITUATION: This is a sensitive subject, one that should be approached with as much diplomacy as you can muster. Because he seems to have everything else going for him, but the body hair is a turn-off, do talk to him about it. Fortunately, over the past few years men have become more open to removing excessive body hair — or at least cutting it back so it’s not so overwhelming. (This is called “manscaping.”) There are also the options of waxing or laser treatments, if he is willing. Dear Abby is written by Abigail Van Buren, also known as Jeanne Phillips, and was founded by her mother, Pauline Phillips. Contact Dear Abby at www. DearAbby.com or P.O.

Rubes

night: Let the good times rock and roll. GEMINI (May 21-June 20) HHHH Pressure builds around someone in charge, an older relative and/or a commitment. You will feel as if you must discharge some of this energy, but you might wonder how. Take a walk, delegate and use a support system in which you can exchange ideas. Tonight: In the limelight. CANCER (June 21-July 22) HHHH Make and return calls. Touch base with a close friend who does not live close to you. Your creativity flourishes when the two of you get together. Allow your mind to wander to other places. Is it time to schedule a vacation yet? Tonight: Be around great music. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) HHHH You might want to assume a more passive role. A friend has a tendency to run through your life and add a lot of chaos. Respond to someone else’s ideas, yet maintain your boundaries. Make key calls later in the day. Be as direct as possible. Tonight: Dinner for two. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) HHHH Defer to others, and build goodwill. Share what could be inspiring and exciting information that was passed on to you. Use caution with spending, as you could go overboard. A loved one or partner could be remote or difficult. Tonight: Out till the wee hours. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) HHHHYou might want to discuss a situation in broad terms. The problem remains that you see a situation differently from how others see it; you could become irritated as a result. This bubbling frustration will build if others do not bend in your direction.

Hints from Heloise

Jacqueline Bigar’s Stars A baby born today has a Sun in Gemini and a Moon in Aquarius if born before 8:18 a.m. (PDT). Afterward, the Moon will be in Pisces. HAPPY BIRTHDAY for Wednesday, May 21, 2014: This year you become more receptive to others’ needs. Still, you must take even better care of yourself and honor your boundaries. If you are single, get plenty of rest now, because come midsummer, your social life could change for the better. You also will add to the potential of meeting Mr. or Ms. Right. If you are attached, the two of you could become bogged down in a financial matter. Know that this will work out. By August, an innate sense of well-being opens up this relationship once more. Toss yourself into this fun, optimistic period. Your significant other will be relieved to find communication flowing once more. LEO adores your energy and cannot get enough of you. The Stars Show the Kind of Day You’ll Have: 5-Dynamic; 4-Positive; 3-Average; 2-So-so; 1-Difficult ARIES (March 21-April 19) HHH You might find it more difficult right now to complete any project that involves physical effort. If you allow your mind to wander, you are likely to come up with unusually dynamic ideas, though it might not be appropriate to start sharing them just yet. Tonight: Stay in. TAURUS (April 20-May 20) HHHHHYou’ll want to focus on some long-term goals. Expenses will be overwhelming and taxing, unless you ask someone to pitch in and help. Focus on the practical solutions that come up in a meeting. A friend might be quite distracting. To-

Tonight: At a favorite place. SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) HHHHH Your resourcefulness will take you in a different direction. You could feel very strongly about a creative project or situation. You even might be suppressing some anger. Relate to others directly and on a one-on-one level. Tonight: Tap into your imagination when making plans. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) HHHH You’ll feel ready to deal with a difficult situation. You finally will decide to root out the problem through your intuitive senses. You refuse to believe that a solution cannot be forthcoming. Please note all the mixed messages that come your way. Tonight: Happy to be home. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) HHHH Be forthright in how you deal with someone. Listen to feedback from a child or loved one, as this person could have a totally different perspective to offer. Funnel your energy and drive into a project that must be completed. Tonight: Hang out with your friends. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) HHH Use the morning just for you. You will wake up feeling unusually energized and upbeat. Charge some of your emotional energy into a project, and tap into your ingenuity. The outcome will demonstrate your unique creativity. Tonight: Indulge a little. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) HHHH You are emotional yet anchored. Understand what is happening with a loved one, but let this person know the implications of this behavior to you. He or she needs to understand that there are consequences for his or her actions. Tonight: Homeward bound.

Let cooked meat take a break Dear Heloise: In several recipes, it says to let the meat sit for 10 to 20 minutes before carving or serving. My question is: Before serving, are you supposed to once again put the meat back in the oven to warm up, or serve it at room temperature? — Linda S., via email NO, you do not put the meat back in the oven or on the grill after it has rested, because it stays warm during this time as long as you don’t cut into it. Cooking meat causes the juices to go toward the center. By resting the meat, you are letting the juices redistribute throughout the meat again. It’s the juices that make the meat more tender and juicy when you eat it. Cutting into meat right after cooking causes all the juices to run out onto the plate, resulting in the meat being tougher when eating. — Heloise Leftover seafood Dear Heloise: I have always been afraid to take home leftovers from a seafood restaurant. And I won’t save seafood dishes that I have cooked in my own home, either. Can you safely keep leftover fish and shellfish dishes, and if so, for how long? — Linda W. in New York You sure can, Linda, so start taking home those leftovers for the next day! The U.S. Department of Agriculture states that fish and shellfish leftovers can be kept in the refrigerator for three to four days, or stored in the freezer for up to three months. As always, though, make sure the food smells good and not “fishy” before reheating and eating. — Heloise
