In the news Anchorage man fires at trooper in Cooper Landing, no injuries

An Anchorage man is charged with attempted murder following an incident in Cooper Landing Sunday. Alaska State Troopers arrested Timothy J. Lange, 30, and charged him with first-degree attempted murder, thirddegree assault, third-degree misconduct involving weapons, fourth-degree assault, reckless endangerment and resisting arrest, according to a trooper report. At about 2:40 p.m., a trooper responded to a citizen report of a suspicious man with a gun standing along the Sterling Highway near Mile 55. When the trooper tried to contact Lange, he fired the handgun at the trooper. The trooper returned fire, according to the report. No one was injured in the incident. Trooper spokesperson Tim DeSpain said, as far as he knew, Lange was holding a handgun in his hand and that was what prompted the caller to report Lange. DeSpain didn’t know of any other behavior or actions by Lange that encouraged the report. Lange is jailed at Wildwood Pretrial Facility. No bail is set. The name of the trooper will not be released for 72 hours as per policy. The Alaska Bureau of Investigation is investigating the report, which will be reviewed by the Department of Law’s Office of Special Prosecution and Appeals.

Hoping for helpful rain By KAYLEE OSOWSKI Peninsula Clarion

As of Monday evening the Funny River Road wildfire was mapped at 176,069 acres or about 275 miles with 30 percent containment. The wind was pushing the fire in a northeast direction Monday. The National Weather Service calls for rain early Tuesday morning with a chance of showers through Friday. “It did look like there might be more than just (Tuesday) for rain and if that happens, which we hope it does, then we might be getting some good progress,” said Michelle Weston, public information officer with the Interagency Incident Management Team. Sunday afternoon, the fire spotted across

Red Cross, locals help evacuees By KAYLEE OSOWSKI and RASHAH MCCHESNEY Peninsula Clarion

Many local businesses, churches, organizations and citizens spent their Memorial Days helping evacuees of the Funny River Road wildfire. The American Red Cross of Alaska set up a temporary shelter at Redoubt Elementary School in Soldotna for residents, who were evacuated from the Funny River area Sunday afternoon. A second temporary shelter opened Monday morning at Sterling Elementary School in Sterling. About 1,000 structures are in the evacuated area, however,

not all of those are full-time residences. Brenda Ahlberg, community and fiscal projects manager with the Kenai Peninsula Borough, said 310 people checked in at the marshaling station at the Soldotna Regional Sports Complex. Evacuees will be updated by 9 a.m. Tuesday about the possibility of returning home. The Soldotna shelter is primarily for Funny River Road area evacuees while the Sterling shelter is serving as a secondary location. The Soldotna shelter housed two evacuees Sunday night, and expected a few more Monday night. The Soldotna local has 75 cots set up with pillows and See HELP, page A-7

More than remembrance By KAYLEE OSOWSKI and KELLY SULLIVAN Peninsula Clarion

Speaker Jim Herrick, commander of American Legion Post No. 20 stood before the crowd gathered at Soldotna Community Memorial Park, in the rattling wind, Monday. He raised a polished marble cane in his right hand and directed it before him. Herrick said he was proudly pointing at the families and community members he had seen at the previous Memorial Day services in Kenai and Soldotna. Services began in the morning, at the Kenai City Cemetery. Three boys dressed in full uniforms of their own, ap-

The fire crossed the Kenai River Sunday in the Torpedo Lake area, about five miles below the Skilak Lake outlet. At a 1:30 p.m. Monday media briefing at the incident command center at Skyview High School, Weston said crews Monday were evaluating hard-to-access areas to determine if any structures were harmed during fire activity Sunday night. She said the focus for Monday was to keep the fire on the northern side of the Kenai River in the Torpedo Lake area under

proached veterans after the Avenue of Flags ceremony to personally thank each one. The Brown brothers, members of Boy Scout Troop 152, wore their Eagle Scout and Star Scout uniforms to the event. Brothers Tyler, 18, Brett, 16, and Derek, 13, attend Memorial Day events annually and do a flag ceremony at Boy Scout meetings. Their mother, Jennifer Brown, said she taught her sons to respect veterans and troops. “That’s the least we can do for them,” Jennifer Brown said. Tyler Brown said learning to respect veteran’s starts at home. He said instead of talking about how terrible war is, families should discuss honoring the people who have

served and are serving. Tyler Brown said he does not think enough younger people pay their respects to veterans, which was evidenced by the low turn out of that age group at the Avenue of Flags ceremony. Brenda Trefren also attends memorial services with her five children each year. During the Leif Hansen Memorial Park ceremony, the family walked single file to the base of the memorial obelisk to lay their handmade wreathes and tiny poppies. “We have ten names in our wreath,” Trefren said, referring to the many grandfathers and great grandfathers who served in their family. Trefren’s son, Daniel Trefren, said he liked seeing the lines of flags speck-

Piles of garbage gone from Kenai Peninsula By KELLY SULLIVAN Peninsula Clarion

Last week cities around the central Kenai Peninsula mobilized their communities to cleanup thousands of pounds of garbage.

Soldotna’s Kenai River Spring Cleanup The city of Soldotna in collaboration with the Kenai River Professional Guide Association put an effective twist on spring clean up this year. Included in the week-long, citywide event was a focused effort along the banks of the Kenai River, and a revised version of “take a kid fishing day.” Students from Sterling Elementary,

Cook Inlet Academy, Redoubt Elementary and Connections Home School program were still taken to the Kenai River, but to clean up the banks, not fish the waters, said Soldotna City Council member Keith Baxter. Redoubt students alone picked up 840 pounds of trash, Baxter said. Combined, the four schools picked up 1,783 pounds. Each individual, group and school was rewarded for his or her efforts, and prizes were given for every student participant, he said. Integrity Janitorial picked up 301 pounds off the riverbanks, Baxter said. Ostrick White won with 168 pounds removed by one person, he said. The event drew people from all over the Kenai Peninsula, Baxter said. Extra information was made available to event C

goers by Hallo Bay Bear Camp, Trout Unlimited, ReGroup Recycling, and Stream Watch. The result of the Kenai River Spring Cleanup was a grand total of 2,494 pounds, Baxter said. This was only what was removed from the riparian habitat of the Kenai river, he said. Around the streets of Soldotna, thousands more were picked up in the borough-wide road cleanups.

Nikiski’s families turn out to clean up Audrey Johnson said she quantified the success of Nikiski’s week-long community cleanup in pounds of trash picked up and pizzas eaten. Generations of Nikiski residents picked up trash last week, Johnson said.

The 200 families that spent hours cleaning off the shoulders of the North Road, consumed 36 pizzas May 17, at the culminating barbecue, she said. Individuals and groups had picked up 800 bright yellow free BP trash bags, during the course of last week, Johnson said. Each bag can hold about 20 pounds. She said she was not certain the exact amount of trash picked up over the course of the week, but the numbers speak for themselves. “It was a dedicated group of people,” Johnson said. “I cannot stress how proud of the families I am.” Johnson said she was pretty shocked the young ones still had the energy to play on the Nikiski Recreation Center playground.

Project aims to restore Galveston Bay reefs By CHRISTOPHER SMITH GONZALEZ The Galveston County Daily News

GALVESTON, Texas — Floating just a couple of meters above an oyster reef in Galveston Bay, two scientists working to improve the reef sifted through rock and shell pulled up from the bottom. “I don’t see any spat,” said Bryan Legare, a natural resource specialist with the Texas Parks and Wildlife Department, as he looked for the small, immature oysters. “It might be a little early for spat since it’s been such a cold winter,” said colleague Bill Rodney, an oyster restoration biologist, as they looked over the pile of cultch — the hard material including rock, crushed limestone and shell that oysters attach to. The young oysters, or spat, will develop as the weather warms, but the pressing question is whether the right conditions will exist for them to grow to mature oysters, which then become part of a multimillion business and which fill an important ecological niche. The Texas Parks and Wildlife Department is in the midst of the largest oyster reef restoration project it’s ever undertaken. It’s an effort to provide oysters with a hard surface they can grow on. The silt deposited in the bay by Hurricane Ike in 2008 and the ongoing drought have damaged oyster reefs in Galveston Bay. Not much can be done about the lack of rain, but the department is trying to do something to deal with the silt by depositing almost 80,000 tons of river rock, ranging from the size of a marble to a small brick, over Middle Reef, Pepper Grove Reef and Hannah’s Reef in East Bay and the large Sabine Reef in Sabine Lake. The $4.2 million project began this month and will likely continue until August. Most of the funds are coming from the federal Coastal Impact Assessment Program, which distributes fees from offshore oil and gas leases to states that have leases off their coasts, Rodney said. Coastal Conservation AssociaC

tion Texas, The National Fish and Wildlife Foundation and the foundation’s Gulf Environmental Benefit Fund provided additional project funding. “One thing we are lacking in, especially Texas, is hard substrate for oysters to attach to,” Legare said. While Legare and Rodney looked for healthy oysters in a previously restored section of Hannah’s Reef in East Bay just a few hundred yards away, a barge floats low in the water weighed down by tons of river rock. Workers on an adjoining barge blast the rock into the water with high-pressure water cannons. The rock is distributed this way to help get an even distribution over the reef, Rodney said. Work has been going on now for at least seven years to map, study and restore oyster reefs along the Texas Coast, he said. And right now, Rodney and Legare agree oyster reefs in Galveston Bay aren’t doing very well. “Hurricane Ike wiped out a lot of oyster reefs in Galveston Bay,” Rodney said. “Most of those oyster reefs are covered with a lot of mud.” Scientists estimate 6,000 acres of oyster reefs were lost in the 2008 hurricane. Since then, the ongoing drought has meant less freshwater has reached the bay, increasing its salinity, which can harm oysters, Rodney said. This year has been an “absolutely horrible year” for oyster fishing in Galveston Bay, said Clifford Hillman, owner of Hillman Shrimp and Oyster in Dickinson. His family started working in the seafood businesses in 1921, and Hillman began his own shrimp and oyster fishing business in the late 1970s. Oysters are a multibilliondollar business in the United States, and about 75 percent of the nation’s oysters come from the Gulf Coast, he said. Of that, about 25 percent comes from Texas, where oysters are a multimillion-dollar industry, he said. But the harvesting of oys-

‘Hurricane Ike wiped out a lot of oyster reefs in Galveston Bay.’ — Bill Rodney, oyster restoration biologist ters has become more difficult because of the silt deposited by Ike and because of the drought. More freshwater in the bay would help, but until the drought breaks, the next best thing is to replenish the hard substrate the oysters need to grow, Hillman said. “The industry has been very proactive in concert with the efforts of Parks and Wildlife Coastal Fisheries and we are making some headway,” he said. Giving oysters something to grab onto will help restore an important part of the fishing economy. Oysters feed by filtering tiny plants known as phytoplankton from the water, with a single oyster capable of filtering up to 50 gallons a day. This filter feeding also removes silt and contaminants from the water. And while water filtration is one of the primary ecological functions of an oyster reef, oysters also provide other ecological services, Legare said. “Beyond the fact that you have oyster reefs that you har-

vest an oyster from, oysters provide very important structure to the bay community and provide homes for small crabs and fish,” Legare said. “The small fish works its way up and attracts bigger fish, more desirable fish.” But because oyster reefs in Galveston Bay are hidden under the opaque water, they often don’t get the credit they deserve, Legare said. “People understand why marshes are important,” he said. “You see a marsh. You see the birds.” Legare and Rodney have to use sonars and sensors to get a view of what lies just a few meters below as they float along in their research vessel. Sometimes, when the conditions are right, they’ll suit up in scuba gear to get a close-up view of the reef and all the life — fish, shrimp, barnacles and muscles — that call the reef home. “I’ve sat there, lying down in scuba gear, watching oyster reefs, and they are really beautiful to watch,” Rodney said.

Wrangell man part of ferry construction By JAMES BROOKS Capital City Weekly

JUNEAU (AP) — He doesn’t remember what day it was, but he remembers the first time he saw it. One day in 1962, Willy Eyon looked up from his work at Puget Sound Bridge and Drydock to see the Big Dipper painted on the stack of a new ship getting its final touches. “I didn’t know they were Alaska ferries until I could see the stack had the Big Dipper on it,” he said. Eyon, now 83, was born and raised in Wrangell but grew up to become one of the workers on the first Alaska Marine Highway System ferries to serve the state. “I often wondered even when I was working in the yard, why am I working here? It isn’t part of my life in the Southeast. ... It was just a different life, but it was still along the water, and I guess if you’re raised with that, I guess you live with that.” Eyon graduated from high school in Wrangell and — like many of his generation — was drafted into the U.S. Army. He served at Fort Richardson in Anchorage and after his stint decided to take his GI Bill money to get an education. Rather than stay in Alaska, he looked south. “It was closer for us to go to Seattle, because you could catch a free ride on a fishing boat or a fishing tender,” he said. “I could bum a ride down there like everybody else.” Eyon attended Edison Technical School in Seattle (today, Seattle Central Community College) and learned his trade. “I couldn’t afford to go to college and probably didn’t want

‘Every time I see it going by, it kind of reminds me of those days.’ — Willy Eyon to, so I got right in and started at a machine shop,” he said. Soon after, he switched to boats. “After I put in my certificate and my time, they put me in the yard at Puget Sound Bridge and Drydock,” he said. “The company I was at, Puget Sound Bridge, was larger than my hometown.” This was in the late 1950s, and the Seattle shipyard was booming with military and civilian work. He started by working on existing ships being refurbished (“In the shipyard, they could do a tanker in one shift — they’d sandblast and paint a tanker in one shift,” he recalled.), but soon moved on. “I think it was kind of a learning place for new workers. ... I rather liked it, but they put me in the main yard, and that’s how I got to work on new construction,” he said. Because of skills learned at Edison, Eyon became one of a handful of linesmen, the people responsible for measuring and checking the work on a ship against the plans kept in a building called “The Loft.” “It takes a special ... well, you’d better know what you were doing in the Loft,” he said. “A lot of welders had their leathers, and the burners, and they had painters and they had machiners, but all we wore, all we had to carry, was a small book in our pocket and a pencil.” Even for Seattle, the heat could be tremendous. New ships

— including the Malaspina and other mainline Alaska ferries — were first built in a graving dock, a pit dug in the earth with doors at one end that opened to the ocean. “The graving dock was down in a hole, so the heat would just cook you down in there,” he said. Ships were known by their hull numbers, which is why the ferries were such a surprise, he said. On his end of the work, they were barely distinguishable from one another until they floated out of the graving dock and to a nearby dock for superstructure work. After one hull floated away, work started on the next hull. “After you got the outside hull done, they would get that all ready, and then they would open up that gate and launch them and move in the next boat,” he said. There were everyday challenges he recalled. Simple things, like the heat of the day, could throw off his measurements as the steel hulls expanded. “The sunshine could actually pull the ship off cen-

ter, because the heat of the sun would heat the steel hull,” he said. Each day, their work would be checked again and again. “We had enough inspectors — Coast Guard, the state, and the yard would have their own people,” he said. “They always would correct one another before things were welded in place.” Eyon recalls being proud of the ferries, that Alaska had a state-of-the-art operation. He left the shipyard not long after the Malaspina, Taku and Matanuska entered service in 1963. He went on to build schools across Alaska for the Bureau of Indian Affairs, traveling to Barrow, Wainwright, along the Yukon and down around Bethel. “I was a jack of all trades, you’d have to call it,” he said. He eventually ended up back home, but things weren’t quite the same. “Now, we’re just like the outskirts of Puget Sound, when you think about it,” he said. One thing that remains the same — the ferries. “Every time I see it going by, it kind of reminds me of those days,” he said. “I was even invited to ride up in the pilothouse one time, and I just couldn’t believe I was a passenger any more, you know?”

What Others Say

NASA caught up in government dysfunction If you want to see the price of our

dysfunctional government, just look up — up toward the International Space Station. It once was a symbol of international cooperation but it is now caught in a web of intrigue that threatens its existence. The United States, having shut down the space shuttle, the only craft it had capable of bringing astronauts to and from the space station, is now at the mercy of Russia, which is taking advantage of that situation. We have a single seat on each flight of a Russian craft — at a cost of $71 million per trip. Only onethird of the crew at the station at any given time is American, even though the U.S. paid for most of the station’s $140 million price tag. There is plenty of blame to spread around. President George W. Bush got things started when he decided in 2004 that NASA’s mission should be a return to the moon and space colonization. That plan retired the shuttle in favor of building deep space rockets. But that left a gap between the end of the shuttle program and the launch of new craft capable of carrying people into space. When Barack Obama became president he decided we needed a quicker way for ferry astronauts to the station and left it up to commercial interests to figure out how to do it. Congress balked and underfunded the commercial program, which means the first flight will be in 2017, not 2015 as Obama envisioned. Not the best solution but a workable plan — until Russia annexed Crimea. In the tit-for-tat that followed, the Russians threatened to pull the plug on the Space Station by 2020. That would seem to make it even more urgent to get these commercial flights — flights that Stennis Space Center could play a big role in — as soon as possible. We shouldn’t have to rely on Russia, an unreliable ‘partner’ at best and a country that doesn’t seem to be seeing us as much of an ally in its ambitions. And we shouldn’t be playing politics with an investment of more than $100 billion. — Sun Herald, Biloxi, Mississippi, May 19

The West’s culture of envy

BELFAST, Northern Ireland — In the 1970s, while working as a low-paid cub reporter in Houston, Texas, I always looked forward to the annual Christmas catalogs from Neiman-Marcus and Sakowitz, a local luxury department store. Both contained outrageously expensive things that only the super-rich could afford — his and hers Thunderbirds stick in my memory. My wife and I couldn’t wait to thumb through them and we frequently laughed at how much some of the items cost, wondering if even rich Texans would spend so extravagantly. Another tribute to conspicuous wealth comes in the annual “Rich List,” a guide to the 1,000 richest men and women in Britain, published in a special edition of The Sunday Times Magazine. A fat feline sits proudly on the cover with the symbol of a British pound (in gold) around its neck. In addition to income rankings, the list is broken down by country and region. Most names will not be familiar to Americans, unless they read the business pages or engage in similar businesses or incomeproducing activities. One couple possibly familiar to many Americans — number two among the wealthiest in Northern Ireland — are the actress and co-producer of TV’s “The Bible” and “Son of God,” Roma Downey, who is Irish, and her reality TV husband, the British-born Mark Burnett. Apart from the fun of reading how much people are worth, the Times story

Letters to the Editor Senator Murkowski looking out for Alaska Alaskan’s should applaud Senator Murkowski’s support of the Regulatory Fairness Act. This bipartisan bill does not remove EPA’s authority under the Section 404(c). It simply requires the agency to use it at the appropriate time — during the permitting process and after a thorough Environmental Impact Statement — not preemptively and not retroactively. Regardless of how you feel about the potential Pebble Mine, it is hard to see how having the EPA condemn projects before a rigorous evaluation is good news for investment, development, and the economic future of Alaska. A preemptive veto carries great risk for Alaska, and the nation. The EPA’s own internal emails suggest the agency hopes the precedent established at Pebble will help it block other projects before they are objectively evaluated. Ninety percent of our state revenues come from oil and gas. Allowing EPA to condemn projects that have not been fully vetted sets an incredibly dangerous precedent. Senator Murkowski is fighting for Alaska by defending due process, not weighing in one way or the other on the Pebble Mine. Rick Rogers, Executive Director Resource Development Council for Alaska

Comments from some don’t reflect community I attended the Kasilof community meeting on May 22 held by the Alaska Interagency Response Team regarding the Funny River wildfire. I want to extend a sincere thank you to all officials, including from CES, Division of Forestry and Borough Emergency Management, who took the time to plan this meeting to inform local residents of crucial information about the status of the wildfire. C

accompanying the list promises the rankings “will create a combination of envy, admiration and mild outrage.” Still, it bears reading and can easily be applied to our modern Western culture of envy, greed Cal Thomas and entitlement promoted by President Obama and Democrats. Titled “Don’t beat the rich: just join them,” the Times writes: “(the list) is a picture of self-made millionaires and billionaires, many of whom have overcome educational disadvantages and personal setbacks — including poverty and the loss of a parent — to succeed. Most eschewed cozy normality, taking risks and putting their livelihoods on the line in their determination to succeed.” With an estimated 47 million Americans on food stamps and others receiving other kinds of government assistance; with President Obama and his fellow liberal Democrats preaching a false financial gospel aimed at penalizing the wealthy and the successful, could it be, as another Times article asserts, “...western democracy is on its last legs, crushed under the weight of a bloated state”? The story suggests the West “look east, where the Asian model — minimal welfare, restricted

I was saddened that some residents chose to treat these officials with rudeness and disrespect during the meeting. I think I can speak for other Kasilof community members as well when I say I am so grateful to all the emergency responders and appreciate the hard work being done by everyone involved in trying to save Kasilof homes, especially to the brave firefighters risking their lives on the front lines of this fire. I don’t believe the disrespectful behavior of some local residents is a reflection of the how the Kasilof community as a whole feels about the efforts of emergency response teams. Thank you to all involved for your hard work. Beth Selby Kasilof

rights — is producing the world’s most successful societies.” What amazes me is that Western values and a work ethic that created so many rich and successful people, who did not settle for the circumstances into which they were born, have been ceded to the welfare state. In Asia, individuals and some nations — notably Singapore — have adopted the West’s former standards, creating unprecedented prosperity. In Britain and America, just a few generations ago, those who came by their wealth and success honestly and through hard work were idolized and emulated. The attitude shared by those who began life in modest circumstances, was, “if they can do it, so can I.” Today, we appear to punish success and treat successful people and those independent of government as enemies who have stolen from what rightfully belongs to others. The “Rich List” is fun to read, but the stories behind their wealth ought to be a lesson to people living in free societies. That lesson is that while not all can necessarily become as rich as these men and women, by adopting their work ethic they can improve their lives far beyond their current place on the economic ladder, to their benefit and to the benefit of their nation.

Ukraine launches airstrike

Around the World Thai coup leader receives royal endorsement, warns citizens not to criticize or protest BANGKOK — Bolstered by an endorsement from Thailand’s king, the nation’s new military ruler issued a stark warning Monday to anyone opposed to last week’s coup: don’t cause trouble, don’t criticize, don’t protest — or else the nation could revert to the “old days” of turmoil and street violence. Speaking in his first public appearance since the coup, Gen. Prayuth Chan-ocha defended the army’s takeover, saying he had to restore order after seven months of increasingly violent confrontations between the now-ousted government and demonstrators who had long urged the army to intervene. “I’m not here to argue with anyone. I want to bring everything out in the open and fix it,” said Prayuth, who spoke at the army headquarters in Bangkok dressed in a crisp white military uniform. “Everyone must help me,” he said, adding: but “do not criticize, do not create new problems. It’s no use.” The tough words came as an aide to former Prime Minister Yingluck Shinawatra said she had been released Monday from military custody after being held for three days at an undisclosed location without access to a telephone. The aide, who spoke on condition of anonymity because of the sensitivity of the situation, said Yingluck had returned to her home.

Nigerian defense chief says military has located abducted girls; can’t go in with force ABUJA, Nigeria — Nigeria’s military has located nearly 300 school girls abducted by Islamic extremists but fears using force to try to free them could get them killed, the country’s chief of defense said Monday. Air Marshal Alex Barde told demonstrators supporting the much criticized military that Nigerian troops can save the girls. But he added, “we can’t go and kill our girls in the name of trying to get them back.” He spoke to thousands of demonstrators who marched to Defense Ministry headquarters in Abuja, the capital. Many were brought in on buses, indicating it was an organized event. Asked by reporters where they had found the girls, Barde refused to elaborate. “We want our girls back. I can tell you we can do it. Our military can do it. But where they are held, can we go with force?” he asked the crowd.

Euroskeptic rise muddles European Union’s future, EU leaders must find a way out

A-5

BRUSSELS — Euroskeptics celebrated across the continent on Monday, from Britain to France and beyond, over their unmatched success in the European Parliament election. Now they are keen to put up internal borders again, keep foreigners out of their labor markets, abolish the common euro currency and let their nations go it alone in a globalized world. The 28 European Union leaders meeting in Tuesday’s postelection summit have a different task: making sure the surge of anti-EU and anti-establishment parties that claimed almost 30 percent of the EU’s 751-seat legislature doesn’t dislodge the 64-year project of closer cooperation between European nations. They will also need to look for a way to reconnect with an ever more disenchanted European electorate that stayed away from the polls in massive numbers — and cast plenty of protest votes when they did show up. Trust in political leadership “is going down dramatically,” EU Commission President Jose Manuel Barroso acknowledged Monday in Sintra, Portugal. British Prime Minister David Cameron, faced with the rise of the Euroskeptic UK Independence Party at home, struck a similar note, saying nothing will be business-as-usual any more.

Obama administration reveals name of undercover top CIA official in Afghanistan WASHINGTON — In an embarrassing flub, the Obama administration accidentally revealed the name of the CIA’s top official in Afghanistan in an email to thousands of journalists during the president’s surprise Memorial Day weekend trip to Bagram Air Field. The officer’s name — identified as “chief of station” in Kabul — was included by U.S. embassy staff on a list of 15 senior American officials who met with President Obama during the Saturday visit. The list was sent to a Washington Post reporter who was representing the news media, who then sent it out to the White House “press pool” list, which contains as many as 6,000 recipients. The Associated Press is withholding the officer’s name at the request of the Obama administration, who said its publication could put his life and those of his family members in danger. A Google search appears to reveal the name of the officer’s wife and other personal details. White House officials realized the error after the Post reporter notified them, and sent out a new list without the station chief’s name. Other major news organizations, including the Post, also agreed not to publish the officer’s name. The reporter who distributes the pool report sends it to the White House to be checked for factual accuracy and then forwarded to the thousands of journalists on the email distribution list, so in this case the White House failed on at least two occasions to recognize that the CIA official’s name was being revealed and circulated so broadly.

Egyptians vote for new president as former military chief hopes for landslide CAIRO — Egypt’s presidential election on Monday turned into a nationalist celebration at many polls with voters singing and dancing for the almost certain winner — former military chief Abdel-Fattah el-Sissi, who last year ousted the first freely elected president. But the first day of voting in the two-day election also illustrated the bitter divisions that have riven Egypt since the military’s removal of Islamist leader Mohammed Morsi. In towns where Islamists dominate, voting was often thin or non-existent. The 59-year-old retired Field Marshal el-Sissi is looking for more than a landslide victory from the election.

DONETSK, Ukraine — Ukraine’s president-elect said Monday he wants to begin talks with Moscow and end a proRussia insurgency in the east, but the rebels escalated the conflict by occupying a major airport, and the government in Kiev responded with an airstrike. As darkness fell in Donetsk, a city of about 1 million, it was unclear who was in control of the airport. Hundreds of fighters of the separatist Donetsk People’s Republic had been brought by trucks to a wooded area on the fringes of the airport, many of them armed with rocket-propelled grenade launchers and automatic rifles. At least one warplane streaked over the city, firing flares, and explosions were heard from the direction of the airport. The rebels, who declared independence for Donetsk and the neighboring Luhansk region after a hastily called and dubious referendum two weeks ago, regarded Sunday’s election of candy tycoon Petro Poroshenko as president to be illegitimate. In a victory speech, the billionaire promised to open a dialogue with residents of eastern Ukraine and to guarantee their rights. The rebels and many others in the region say they fear the February ouster of pro-Moscow President Viktor Yanukovych will lead to the repression of its predominantly Russian-speaking population by Ukrainian nationalists. Poroshenko also said he would not negotiate with armed insurgents that he calls terrorists. “Peace can only be achieved through a dialogue with people,” he said Monday. “This process cannot be stopped with the use of arms only; arms can be used exclusively against killers and terrorists.” Russia has heavily criticized an offensive by Ukraine’s military against the rebels, and Poroshenko indicated he wants it to end quickly. “The anti-terrorist operation cannot and should not last two or three months,” he said. “It should and will last hours.” But aggression by rebels, as at the Donetsk airport, could make it impossible for Ukrainian forces to back off. News reports said scores of armed insurgents descended on the airport about 3 a.m., and all flights were canceled. Heavy gunfire broke out, Ukrainian fighter jets and helicopters flew overhead, and dense black smoke rose in the air. Vladislav Seleznyov, a spokesman for the Ukrainian operation, wrote on his Facebook account that the military had given an ultimatum to the gunmen occupying the airport to disarm. They didn’t comply, he said, and the military launched an airstrike. Denis Pushilin, a leader of the separatists, said they sent their men to the airport after some of their supporters were detained, but news reports cited the airport’s press service as saying the insurgents were demanding Ukrainian forces be withdrawn from around the facility. Donetsk news outlets, citing an unidentified health official, reported that two people were injured and one person killed by gunfire at the city’s main train station. In Slovyansk, a city about 100 kilometers (60 miles) to the north that has seen sustained clashes, an Associated Press reporter saw the bodies of an elderly woman and a young man following mortar fire from a government position. Sunday’s presidential balloting was praised by international observers as a “genuine election,” saying it was held freely and fairly. Poroshenko, known for his pragmatism, supports building strong ties with Europe but also has stressed the importance of mending relations with Moscow. Upon claiming victory, he said his first step as president would be to visit the east. He said he hoped Russia would support his efforts to bring stability and that he want-

‘Peace can only be achieved through a dialogue with people. — Petro Poroshenko, Ukraine’s president-elect ed to hold talks with Moscow. Russia denies allegations that it supports or directs the insurgents. But Russia is pushing for Ukraine to decentralize its government, which would give more power to the regions including the east, and wants Kiev to withdraw its troops from the area. Russia massed its troops near the Ukrainian border, but President Vladimir Putin said last week that those forces were being pulled back to their home bases. After Russia annexed the southern region of Crimea from Ukraine in March, many Ukrainians feared Moscow wanted to invade the east. In Moscow, Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov said Russia appreciated Poroshenko’s statements about the importance of Ukraine’s ties with Russia and

his pledge to negotiate an end to the fighting. “We are ready for dialogue with representatives of Kiev, with Petro Poroshenko,” Lavrov said at a briefing, adding it was a chance that “cannot be wasted.” He emphasized that Moscow saw no need for any involvement by the U.S. or the European Union in those talks. “We don’t need any mediators,” he said pointedly. The rebels had vowed to block the election in the Donetsk and Luhansk regions, and more than 80 percent of the polling stations were closed there after gunmen intimidated residents by smashing ballot boxes, shutting down voting centers and issuing threats. But nationwide, about 60 percent of Ukraine’s 35.5 million eligible voters turned out,

and long lines were reported at polling stations in the capital. Joao Soares, special coordinator for the OSCE observer mission in Kiev, hailed the vote and the “clear resolve of the authorities, which resulted in a genuine election largely in line with international commitments.” “Ukrainian authorities should be commended for their efforts in the extraordinary circumstances to facilitate an election” which was held in parts of Ukraine’s volatile east, Soares said. He said monitors saw multiple threats, intimidation and abduction of election officials in the east. With votes from 75 percent of the precincts counted, Poroshenko was leading with about 54 percent in the field of 21 candidates. Former Prime Minister Yulia Tymoshenko was running a distant second with 13 percent. If those results hold, Poroshenko would avoid a runoff election next month. Authorities said official results would be announced by June 5.

US celebrates Memorial Day By PETE YOST Associated Press

WASHINGTON — President Barack Obama led the nation in commemorating Memorial Day, declaring the United States has reached “a pivotal moment” in Afghanistan with the end of war approaching by year’s end. Obama, who returned just hours earlier from a surprise visit with U.S. troops at Bagram Air Field in Afghanistan, paid tribute to those lost in battle there and elsewhere over history. He called them “patriots who made the ultimate sacrifice” for their country. Obama said that “many of us will never know” the courage and sacrifice of parents and loved ones across America who have lost a child, spouse, brother, sister or friend in war. And he made a fleeting reference to the widening scandal involving reports of poor performance by the Department of Veterans Affairs, which is facing allegations of delayed treatments, and even deaths in Arizona.

Obama said the country owes it to its veterans the care they need. Closing his brief remarks, he said, “May God Bless the fallen and all those who have served and watch over their families.” The president was joined by first lady Michelle Obama and Vice President Joe Biden and his wife, Jill, at the solemn ceremony across the Potomac River from White House on the hallowed grounds of Arlington National Cemetery in Virginia. The remembrance was for the war heroes of yesteryear as well as servicemen and women stationed around the world. It was carried out in idyllic weather under cloudless skies and a brilliant sunshine. The national observance was to be matched by parades, picnics and speeches across the country. Obama appeared at the cemetery’s amphitheater to speak after carrying out the traditional presidential wreath-laying, surrounded there by troops in formal dress and hearing the playing of Taps.

Prosecutors: Hacker helped thwart 300 cyberattacks By TOM HAYS Associated Press

NEW YORK — A prolific computer hacker who infiltrated the servers of major corporations later switched sides and helped the government disrupt hundreds of cyberattacks on Congress, NASA and other sensitive targets, according to federal prosecutors. New York prosecutors detailed the cooperation of Hector Xavier Monsegur for the first time in court papers while asking a judge to reward him with leniency at his sentencing Tuesday. They credited Monsegur with helping them cripple Anonymous, the notorious crew of hacktivists who stole confidential information, defaced websites and temporarily put some victims out of business. Working around the clock with FBI agents at his side, Mon-

segur “provided, in real time, information about then-ongoing computer hacks and vulnerabilities in significant computer systems,” prosecutors wrote. The FBI estimates he helped detect at least 300 separate hacks, preventing millions of dollars in losses, they added. After his arrest and guilty plea in 2011, Monsegur faced more than two decades behind bars. But because of his cooperation, the sentence could be two years or less. Court papers say Monsegur first began hacking in a Manhattan apartment in the early 2000s. His aim then was to steal credit card information, then sell it or use it to pay his own bills. In a 2011 interview with an online magazine, Monsegur said he decided to join forces with Anonymous because he was upset over the arrest of

WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange. “I’m just doing what I know how to do, and that is counter abuse,” he said. Starting in early 2011 and using the alias Sabu, Monsegur led an Anonymous splinter group called Lulz Security, or LulzSec, which hacked computer systems of Fox television, Nintendo, PayPal and other businesses, stole private information and then bragged about it online. The group was loosely affiliated with Jeremy Hammond, the FBI’s most wanted cybercriminal whose stated objective was to cause mayhem with the attacks, prosecutors said. When FBI agents showed up at his home in the summer of 2011, Monsegur immediately agreed to cooperate, giving the FBI a tutorial on the innerworkings and participants of

LulzSec and Anonymous, prosecutors said. Under their direction, he “convinced LulzSec members to provide him digital evidence of the hacking activities” and “asked seemingly innocuous questions that ... could be used to pinpoint their exact locations and identities,” court papers said. Monsegur also engaged Hammond in online chats while Hammond was in Chicago, the papers said. As a result, “physical surveillance teams deployed in Chicago, and an electronic surveillance unit in Washington,” they said. Hammond was sentenced last year to 10 years in prison. Reports that Monsegur was cooperating made him a pariah in the Anonymous movement, prosecutors said. Hackers began posting personal information about him, and he was even approached on the street and

threatened, they said. The harassment “became severe enough that the FBI relocated Monsegur and certain of his family members,” they

said. Monsegur’s current whereabouts aren’t publicly known. One of his attorneys declined to comment Monday.

Killer’s family tried to intervene before rampage By MARTHA MENDOZA and MICHAEL R. BLOOD Associated Press

GOLETA, Calif. — It was Friday night when Elliot Rodger’s mother got a call from her son’s therapist that he had emailed a ranting manifesto about going on a deadly rampage. The mother went to her son’s YouTube channel and found the video in which he threatens to kill people. She alerted authorities and set off frantically with her ex-husband to Santa Barbara. By the time they arrived, it was too late: their son had killed six people and then, authorities say, himself. “They’re in deep, deep grief,” family friend Simon Astaire said Sunday as he recounted the family’s ordeal. “Their grief which is nearly unbearable to be close to is as much for the loss of their son as for the victims.” It was the second time in recent months that Rodger’s mother tried to intervene. In April, she had called one of her

son’s counselors after seeing bizarre videos he had posted on YouTube, though not the disturbing one he posted shortly before the killings, Astaire said. The counselor called a mental health service, which then called police. Santa Barbara County Sheriff’s deputies who showed up at Rodger’s doorstep to check on his mental health, however, weren’t aware of any videos, the department’s spokeswoman Kelly Hoover said. They concluded after their visit that the well-mannered if shy young man posed no risk. Sheriff Bill Brown has defended the deputies’ actions, but the case highlights the challenges that police face in assessing the mental health of adults, particularly those with no history of violent breakdowns, institutionalizations or serious crimes. “Obviously, looking back on this, it’s a very tragic situation and we certainly wish that we could turn the clock back and maybe change some things,” Brown told CBS’ “Face the Nation” on Sunday.

‘They’re in deep, deep grief. Their grief which is nearly unbearable to be close to is as much for the loss of their son as for the victims.’ — Simon Astaire, family friend “At the time deputies interacted with him, he was able to convince them that he was OK,” he said. It’s not clear whether the mother’s concern about the videos was conveyed to the deputies. An email to the counselor was not immediately returned. Doris A. Fuller, executive director of the Virginia-based Treatment Advocacy Center, said California law has provisions that permit emergency psychiatric evaluations of individuals who pose a serious threat, but that was never triggered. Rodger’s family has disclosed their son was under the care of therapists. “Once again, we are grieving over deaths and devastation

Hacking case belies profitable United States links with China By PAUL WISEMAN AP Economics Writer

WASHINGTON — China may be trying to steal trade secrets from U.S. businesses, as federal prosecutors allege. Yet for many U.S. companies, China’s vast market remains an irresistible source of business. The Justice Department’s indictment last week of five Chinese military officials accused them of trying to pilfer confidential information from American companies. But even some of the alleged U.S. corporate victims of the hackers have little incentive to cheer any trade rupture with China. One, Westinghouse, is building four nuclear reactors in China. Another, specialty steelmaker Allegheny Technologies, operates a joint venture in Shanghai. A third, Alcoa, is the biggest foreign investor in China’s aluminum market. Indeed, Alcoa went so far as to downplay Justice’s charges: “No material information was compromised during this incident which occurred several years ago,” the company said. American companies are in a delicate position. They want to maintain good relations with China, the world’s secondbiggest economy and a market where U.S. firms’ earnings grew nearly 50 percent last year. But they’re also increasingly fearful of Chinese hackers stealing their trade secrets. Looked that way, the hacking case is “going to be positive in opening up the conversation,” said Jamian Ronca Spadavecchia, founder of the Oxbow Advisory, which advises companies about risks in China and other emerging markets. “It’s bringing into the open some of the issues U.S. companies are facing.” A U.S.-China Business

Council survey has found that cybersecurity is a growing threat for U.S. companies in China: It jumped from to No. 14 last year from No. 23 in 2012 on a list of gripes about the Chinese market. American companies are also increasingly irritated by China’s attempts to censor the Internet, according to a survey by the American Chamber of Commerce in China. The confrontation over hacking — China rejects the charges as based on “fabricated facts” — highlights the oftenawkward relationship between China and the United States. They’re frenemies in a globalized world — rivals and partners in both politics and economics. U.S. companies complain that China is becoming less hospitable to foreign companies. They cite policies that give Chinese firms an edge over foreign competitors, cumbersome licensing requirements and endless struggles to protect their intellectual property — from software to music to clothing design — from theft. For all the complaints and tensions, U.S.-China business ties are tight and getting tighter. Last week, even as the hacking controversy raged, former U.S. ambassadors to Beijing rang the closing bell at the New York Stock Exchange to mark the 35th anniversary of U.S.China diplomatic relations. After all, 77 Chinese company stocks now trade on the NYSE. Another big one — e-commerce giant Alibaba — plans to list its stock in the United States, either on the NYSE or NASDAQ. Trade in goods between the U.S. and China last year hit a record $562 billion. American companies earned nearly $10 billion last year in China, another record. American direct

investment in China exceeds $50 billion. General Motors sells more cars in China than in the United States. General Electric sells China clean power plants that run on methane. Wal-Mart has 390 stores across China. Starbucks runs hundreds of cafes in China. In a big turnabout, Chinese companies have begun to invest in America, too. Chinese investment in the United States reached $14 billion last year, up from virtually nothing a decade ago. About 70,000 Americans work for Chinese companies, according to the Rhodium Group consultancy. Chinese firms are being drawn to America by cheap energy and land and by U.S. wages that aren’t as high compared with China’s as they once were. Sometimes frictions between two countries can encourage closer ties. U.S.-Japan trade battles, for example, led Japanese automakers to build plants in America in the 1980s and 1990s. China’s Tianjin Pipe is building a $1 billion factory in Gregory, Texas — a decision it made after the U.S. imposed sanctions on pipes made in China. “The investment will continue” unless the U.S.-China disputes get much worse, said Raymond Cheng, CEO of the Sozo Group, a Hong Kong firm that helps Chinese companies invest in America. “Energy costs are rapidly rising and are cheaper in the U.S.... Everybody realizes that manufacturing needs to be closer to the consumer. That’s all the incentive and reason for Chinese manufacturers need” to invest in the United States. Speaking by phone, Cheng noted that he had just left the grand opening of a Chinese shoe factory in Jefferson City, Tennessee. C

caused by a young man who was sending up red flags for danger that failed to produce intervention in time to avert tragedy,” Fuller said in a statement. “In this case, the red flags were so big the killer’s parents had called police ... and yet the system failed,” she said. Rodger, writing in a manifesto, said the police asked whether he had suicidal thoughts, and he was able to convince them he was fine. He said he was relieved his apartment wasn’t searched because deputies would have uncovered the cache of weapons he used in the rampage in Isla Vista. He posted at least 22 YouTube videos. He wrote in his manifesto that he uploaded

most of his videos in the week leading up to April 26, when he originally planned to carry out his attacks. He postponed his plan after catching a cold. “On the week leading up to date I set for the Day of Retribution, I uploaded several videos onto YouTube in order to express my views and feelings to the world, though I don’t plan on uploading my ultimate video until minutes before the attack, because on that video I will talk about exactly why I’m doing this,” Rodger wrote. In the final video posted Friday, he sits in a black BMW in sunset light and appears to be acting out scripted lines and planned laughs. “I’ll take great pleasure in slaughtering all of you,” the son of a Hollywood director who worked on “The Hunger Games” says. In his videos and writings, Rodger voices his contempt for everyone from his roommates to the human race, reserving special hate for two groups: the women he says kept him a virgin for all of his 22 years and the men they chose instead.

The rampage played out largely as he sketched it in public postings. He said he would start by “silently killing as many people as I can around Isla Vista by luring them into my apartment through some form of trickery.” He said he would knock them out with a hammer, and slit their throats. On Sunday, the sheriff’s office identified the final victims as Cheng Yuan Hong, 20, and George Chen, 19 — both from San Jose — and Weihan Wang, 20, of Fremont. Hong and Chen were listed on the lease as Rodger’s roommates. Investigators were trying to determine whether Wang was a roommate or was visiting the apartment. Around 9:30 p.m., the shooting rampage began and lasted about 10 minutes. In the end, he shot and killed three others at random, and injured 13 more either with gunshots or the BMW that he used as a battering ram against bicyclists and skateboarders. Deputies found three semiautomatic handguns along with 400 unspent rounds in the car. All were purchased legally.

Work makes Homer Spit trail more accessible MICHAEL ARMSTRONG Homer News

HOMER — It’s all down to what Public Works Director Carey Meyer calls “the icing on the cake” — the final items on the city’s punch list for the 11,000-foot extension of the Homer Spit Trail. The trail itself was paved earlier this month, just in time for passengers of the first cruise ship, the M/V Silver Shadow, to enjoy the trail extension. Cruise ship head tax money helped pay for the $2.26 million trail improvements. “Gosh, a lot of the nice stuff is there. The paving. The boardwalk is awesome if anybody remembers what the old boardwalk was like,” Meyer said. The new trail fulfills a longtime goal of the city: paving the Homer Spit Trail from Kachemak Drive to the end of the road at Land’s End Resort. From the former stopping point at the Pier One Theatre campground near the Nick Dudiak Fishing Lagoon, the trail now runs along the Homer Spit Road to Freight Dock Road, where it runs along the northeast side of the Homer Harbor. Part of that trail is paved, but near Ramp 3 it becomes a boardwalk to near Fish Dock Road. There the trail becomes paved again all the way to the new End of the Road Park, paved parking by the Pioneer Dock and ferry terminal that includes new public bathrooms. A short trail also runs from Coal Point Park at the mouth of the harbor and along the harbor entrance to Pioneer Dock. Coal Point Park will be the focus of Parks Day celebrations in early August. A new spur also runs around the harbor by Freight Dock Road and then along the northeast side of the harbor to the Deep Water Dock and the cruise ship staging area. “I hope we transform the perimeter of the boat harbor that’s welcoming to both visitors and the people who live here,” Meyer said. Still to be done are amenities like landscaping, signal

Frates said so far he has been very pleased with the community members who have put in time to help out.

flags, directional signs, “you are here” location maps and installation of public art. A request for proposals will go out soon for interpretive signs that will include literary art as was done by poet Wendy Erd for the Beluga Slough Trail. Twenty-six nautical signal flags, one for each letter of the alphabet, will go up on posts, with plaques explaining the flags and their associated meanings. V for Victor, for example, a red X, means “I require assistance.” Also to be hung on the posts will be marine animal themed banners made by NOMAR. Landscaping will be low maintenance and in keeping with the beach character of the Spit, such as logs, rocks and beach grass. “What we’re trying to do in the landscape area is create storm berm areas,” Meyer said. The idea is to teach people about the value of driftwood, sand and grass storm berms and not take logs out of it. With more trail and more access points, Meyer said people won’t have to park at the base of the Spit on Kachemak Drive and can park at lots along the Spit and go several directions. “I think you’ll see more people driving to the Fishing Hole and using the two more miles to the end,” Meyer said. The trail will cause changes in traffic patterns. At the Homer City Council meeting on May 12, council member David Lewis said the boardwalk and trail along the harbor will require drivers to be more careful not to block the trail when backing up to harbor ramps and to look out for trail users. Also still to be done is grading along the trail, striping of the trail and at road crossings, and installation of benches and trash cans. “By Labor Day the icing is going to be on the cake,” Meyer said. “It’s going to be a different place than it was before — not that is wasn’t a great place before — but now it’s going to be more usable and accessible.”

blankets and 100 more cots available on site. The Sterling location has 30 cots set up with 120 on standby. After spending Sunday night in their tuck and tent at the sports complex, the Brassfield family made plans Monday afternoon to spend the night at the shelter. The family of five, with three teenage kids, have a variety of pets — dogs, ferrets, rabbits and horses. Lois Brassfield said they have been staying with the animals constantly since the evacuation. “It’s been a difficult,” she said. The Soldotna shelter was able to get a pet shelter set up Monday afternoon for domestic animals on school grounds. Brassfield said they worked out a plan to keep their horses at the sports complex and hope to be able to keep the rest of their pets at the shelter. In preparing to evacuate and gathering things like medications and primary items, Brassfield said they forgot items like towels. She said they also had issues finding somewhere to shower. But she said the fear that’s been eminent during the past week has been the most difficult to deal with. The family moved to the Funny River Road area last July from Kasilof. “We’ve been through so much,” Brassfield said. … “We just don’t’ want to lose the house.” The doors to the shelters will be locked at night for security reasons, but the desk will be manned through the night. A number will be posted at night outside for evacuees to call, if they come after the doors are locked. Both shelters have snacks available for evacuees near the entrances of the schools. Sue Thornton, one of the shelter managers in Soldotna, said at about 3:30 p.m. Monday, they had served 400 snacks.

XTO Energy provided groceries to the shelters. Red Cross officials said the shelters have enough food and water and cannot accept clothing, blankets or pillows. The best option, Beth Bennett, regional communications officer, said is to visit redcross.org/ak/anchorage and make a monetary donation to the local Red Cross. People interested in volunteering can also sign up online. The Salvation Army provided meals at the Soldotna shelter. Hooligans Lodging and Saloon along the Sterling Highway in Soldotna opened its doors to evacuees Sunday night. Molly Poland, owner, said evacuees occupied 118 rooms Sunday night and 130 were filled for Monday night. Poland let evacuees bring their dogs and cats into the lodge including a litter of puppies. She said the community has donated a variety of food items, clothing, toiletries and pet supplies for evacuees. If any Funny River Road resident needs anything, she said they can just come by and help themselves. With her staff tripled to keep up with inundation of people, community members have also volunteered to help out with laundry and other duties around the lodge. “This whole community is rad when the going gets tough,” Poland said. For evacuees looking for a recreational vehicle spot, the Veterans of Foreign Wars in Soldotna on North Birch Street had open six spots as of 5 p.m. Monday. The VFW annually hosts a Memorial Day picnic and invited evacuees to the meal. “We’re here for the community,” said Shane Fender with the VFW. Odie’s Deli in Soldotna offered free cinnamon rolls for fire workers and evacuees Monday morning. For lunch, Megan Schaafsma said the deli had free soup and bread and employees poured free coffee throughout the day for those affected by the fire.

Schaafsma isn’t sure how many evacuees and fire personnel the deli served throughout the day, but said employees made about 400 rolls. At the Birch Ridge Community Church, on Echo Lake Road in Soldotna, a spontaneous offering of help turned into two days of meals and a kids carnival Monday evening while dinner was served. Terri Kunz, who lives a Mile 9 in the evacuated area of Funny River Road, sat slowly finishing her meal, relishing a few moments of relaxation. Kunz and her family evacuated their animals a few days before the call came through for them to leave. The group’s goats and alpacas are at the Soldotna Rodeo Grounds while seven dachshunds and two larger dogs have been temporarily left with family and friends in the community — Kunz put out a plea on Facebook looking for homes for the animals and had no problems finding them, she said. Meanwhile she, and her nieces, are staying at a home near Bridge Access Road in Kenai, waiting for word that they may be able to go home. Amid the piles of pizzas, donated by Pizza Boys in Soldotna, and dozens of dishes dropped off by community members or made by members of the congregation, Kunz said she was overwhelmed with gratitude.

I just have to keep believing that we are going to be OK.” If her house does burn, Kunz said, she hopes that the fire will take out the home on the property and not the barn. “It’s easier for me to live in my barn than it is for the goats and alpacas to live in the house,” she said, laughing. Organizers at the church said they did not need any more donations of food and were astonished at how many community members came out to support the evacuees. “This community is incredible,” said Kory Armstrong. Char Moore, whose idea helped to start the meal-site, said she could not believe how many church members gave up Memorial Day weekend plans to volunteer for meal-duty. “This is just one of those things where you realize what the important things are and you know that somebody’s got your back,” Moore said. “Our church family just wants people to know that we care about them.” The group plans to host another lunch Tuesday at noon.

Kenai baseball cruises past Homer Pierren, Jones give Kardinals a boost headed into conference tournament By JEFF HELMINIAK Peninsula Clarion

The Kenai Central baseball squad’s 6-1 win over Homer on Monday at the Kenai Little League fields didn’t rate high on style points, but style points are not what count this time of year. With the start of the Northern Lights Conference tournament looming Thursday in Soldotna, Dallas Pierren and Miles Jones gave the Kards a boost by pitching the Kenai past the Mariners. Kenai finishes 3-6 in the NLC and overall, while Homer ends up 4-5 and 4-7 overall. Brackets for the tournament will be released today. “I wouldn’t say we are on a roll,” said Pierren, a recent graduate. “It was a lucky win, but we’ll take it. “All we need is three lucky wins at regions and we make state.” Pierren called the win lucky be-

cause Kenai had trouble fielding popups early, and because the Kards got their runs by being opportunistic, and not tearing the cover off the ball. Pierren pitched the first five innings for the win, giving up five hits and one earned run while walking two and striking out five. Jones pitched the final two innings, giving up no runs and no hits while striking out two. “Miles and Dallas, there is no question they are our big guns pitchingwise,” Kenai coach John Kennedy said. With the tournament coming up, Kennedy said it was key that both Pierren and Jones were efficient getting through the lineup, leaving them fresh. In the first inning, Kenai committed an error and let two foul pop-ups hit the ground, but Pierren escaped unscathed. In the third inning, another foul pop-up fell, but again Homer did

not score. And Pierren kept the Mariners off the board in the fourth inning when a fly ball from Brandon Beachy dropped amongst three players in right center for a double. “I just pretend like they didn’t happen,” said Pierren, when asked how he works through the miscues. Kennedy said there are times Pierren tries to do too much after fielding errors, but that the whole team did a good job playing through them Monday. “When mistakes happen, it’s easy to start pointing fingers,” he said. “Nobody started pointing fingers today.” Homer struck first in the game in the second inning, when Beachy singled and scored on a single by Paul Trowbridge. Kenai came right back in the bottom of the second. Sam Combs, a late insertion into the lineup after Connor Jones hurt his finger during pregame

infield, singled with one out. Nate O’Lena and Justin Burdick followed with singles, with Combs scoring on Burdick’s single and O’Lena scoring on a wild pitch. Isaac Mese would single in Burdick. In the third inning, Pierren scored on a sacrifice fly by Miles Jones for a 4-1 game. In the fourth, Mese singled in O’Lena, and Ellery Steffensen singled in Mese. Beachy pitched the first four innings, giving up seven hits and five earned runs. The downfall was his two hit batters and six pitches that kicked past the catcher to the backstop. “We gave up a lot of free bases today,” Homer coach Mark Putney said. “We also didn’t make plays on defense.” On offense, Putney said the Mariners did not do a good job of manufacturing runs. Putney said being ag-

gressive normally works for Homer, but not Monday. “He made pitches when he had to,” Putney said of Pierren. “He had a couple of big strikeouts.” Pierren credited shortstop Ellery Steffensen with a strong game in the field. Steffensen had six assists. “He was like a vacuum cleaner out there,” Kennedy said. “He was all over the place.” Kennedy also said it was nice to get balanced hitting. Mese was 2 for 3 with two RBIs and a run from the No. 9 spot, while Burdick was 2 for 3 with a run and RBI at No. 7, and O’Lena scored two runs at No. 6. Beachy had two hits for Homer, while Putney said he liked the way Sheldon Hutt came in and shut Kenai down in the last two innings. Hutt didn’t allow a hit or a run and walked one while fanning two.

Indiana Pacers guard George Hill (3) and Miami Heat guard Dwyane Wade (3) fight over a loose ball during the first half of Game 4 in the NBA basketball Eastern Conference finals playoff series, Monday, May 26, 2014, in Miami.

Heat move 1 game from Finals TIM REYNOLDS AP Basketball Writer

MIAMI — Chris Bosh got them started. LeBron James took over in the second half. And in the end, the Miami Heat moved one win from yet another Eastern Conference title. James had 32 points and 10 rebounds, Bosh added 25 points — nearly matching his output from the first three games of the series combined — and the Heat grabbed control of the East finals by topping the Indiana Pacers 102-90 in Game 4 for a 3-1 lead. Dwyane Wade added 15

points and Miami never trailed, leading by 23 at one point. “We try to get better every single day, every single game,” James said. “When you do that and go out and play the type of game that you are capable of playing, you can be satisfied with the results. And that’s what we’ve built over the years.” Only the Celtics and Lakers franchises have been to the NBA Finals in four straight seasons. The Heat now have three chances to join that club, starting with Game 5 at Indiana on Wednesday night. “We got outplayed by the Heat,” Pacers coach Frank Vogel said. “I wasn’t disappointed

in our fight. I was disappointed in the result.” Paul George scored 23 points and David West added 20 points and 12 rebounds for the Pacers, who got 15 points from George Hill. But Lance Stephenson — who made news in the days between Games 3 and 4 by suggesting he was in James’ head — was held to nine and 7-foot-2 center Roy Hibbert was scoreless in 22 minutes for Indiana. “I was trying to get into his head,” Stephenson said, referring to James. “I guess he stepped up and got the win. I can take the heat.” The heat, maybe.

The Heat, maybe not. Miami has won the last three games in the series, and going back to the point in Game 3 when the Heat trailed by 15, they have outscored the Pacers by 39 points in a span of about 6½ quarters. The Pacers won two elimination games in the first round against Atlanta, and need to win three more if their yearlong plan of topping Miami as kings of the East is going to become reality. The odds are obviously stacked against them. When holding a 3-1 lead, Miami is 8-0 in Game 5s over the past four postseasons.

LOS ANGELES — The ovations started after the Los Angeles Kings’ third goal in 16 minutes to open Game 4 of the Western Conference final, and the home crowd eventually serenaded its team off the ice for intermission. The low-scoring Kings have become the Stanley Cup playoffs’ highest-scoring team. This defensive powerhouse is shutting down the Chicago Blackhawks’ big stars while pushing the defending champions to the verge of elimination. Yep, the Kings deserved a hand — even if they insist they still haven’t anything that’s really worth cheering. Jake Muzzin, Marian Gaborik and captain Dustin Brown scored in a dominant first period, and Los Angeles beat Chicago 5-2 Monday night to take a 3-1 series lead. Muzzin and Drew Doughty each had a goal and an assist, and Jonathan Quick made 22 saves as the Kings moved to the brink of their second trip to the Stanley Cup Final in three seasons with their third straight win over the defending champion Blackhawks. Gaborik, who joined the Kings on March 5 and immediately catalyzed their offense, took a momentary break from the businesslike atmosphere of the Kings’ dressing room and just plain marveled what Los Angeles has accomplished this spring. “To come into every game with that confidence, to have that mojo that you can win every game, that’s the difference,” Gaborik said. “It’s great to come to a team like this and be part of a winning culture.” Tanner Pearson added an empty-net goal for the Kings, who have been to the NHL finals just twice in franchise history, winning their only title in 2012. One year after Los Ange-

les lost the conference finals in five games to Chicago, the Kings have their own chance to close it out in five. Game 5 is Wednesday in Chicago. “We’re not looking ahead,” Kings forward Justin Williams said. “Chicago, I believe they’ve been down 3-1 before. Every team has been through experiences that have made them better. Stanley Cup championship teams like Chicago and us, we’ve been through a lot. We’ve persevered through a lot, and they’re down 3-1, we’re trying to squash them, and they’re trying to get some life.” Two days after the Kings gritted out a 4-3 victory over Chicago in Game 3, they won again at Staples Center by scoring three goals on their first six shots of Game 4, capping an incredible three-game offensive performance by the lowest-scoring NHL team to make the postseason. After trailing 2-0 late in the second period of Game 2, Los Angeles scored 13 goals in less than 100 minutes. Muzzin scored on a power play. Gaborik added his 10th goal of the postseason off Duncan Keith’s turnover. Brown banged a puck into an open net for another power-play goal, his first score since Game 7 of the first round against San Jose. Cue the standing ovations. Brandon Saad and Bryan Bickell scored and Corey Crawford stopped 16 shots for the Blackhawks, who didn’t get rolling until they trailed 4-0 late in the second period. “I don’t think we played that poorly,” Chicago captain Jonathan Toews said. “We made some mistakes, and their confidence snowballed on us. Next thing you know, it doesn’t matter how hard you work or how many shifts you spend in their zone. If the bounces aren’t going your way, it’s tough to get back in a game like this.”

Following Nikolaevsk School’s end-of-the-year awards assembly on May 19, the students, faculty, staff and a scattering of parents were asked to stay seated. There was one more recognition in store. “We are making history today,” said Bea Klaich, head coach of Nikolaevsk’s girls varsity basketball team. To her left sat a smiling Nianiella Dorvall, a high school senior, surrounded by her family — parents, Dan and Luba Dorvall, and younger sister, Anastacia. Monday, Nianiella became Photo by McKibben Jackinsky/Homer News Nikolaevsk’s first female athNianiella Dorvall, right, is congratulated May 19 by her parents, lete to sign a letter of intent Dan and Luba Dorvall, after signing a letter of intent to play to play college basketball. She will be attending and playing basketball for Skagit Valley College. C

for Skagit Valley College in Mount Vernon, Washington. Nianiella has been a rising Nikolaevsk basketball star since she began playing in the third grade. As an eighth-grader, she began playing on the high school basketball team, something allowed by the Alaska Student Activities Association for schools with less than 30 students. This year, the 6-foot1 center wrapped up her high school basketball career by being named the Class 1A Player of the Year. It isn’t just her athleticism that was noticed by colleges, however, a fact Klaich made clear to Nikolaevsk students. “The first thing (recruiters) look at isn’t how you play sports, it’s your academics,” Klaich said. Nianiella has a 4.0 gradepoint average. Factor in the

college-level courses she’s taken, enough to equal at least one college semester, and her GPA rises to 4.042. During Monday’s awards assembly, she received outstanding achievement awards for Russian, mathematics, social studies and science, as well as the Kenai Peninsula Borough School District Superintendent’s Award of Excellence. She has served on the student council since her sophomore year and was recognized for her contributions as editor of the school’s yearbook. As good as she is at basketball, Nianiella views her ability as a steppingstone to where she wants education to take her — a career in radiology. That goal helped her choose Skagit Valley’s offer of academic and sports scholarships instead of offers she received from other See BALL, page A-9

Wawrinka gets upset in 1st round HOWARD FENDRICH AP Tennis Writer

PARIS — The positive vibes and big-deal victories began for Stan Wawrinka at last year’s U.S. Open, back when he still went by “Stanislas,” and picked up steam at this year’s Australian Open, where he earned the right to forever be called “major champion.” And yet all of that seemed so far away late Monday at the French Open as dusk approached — and defeat became apparent — in Wawrinka’s first Grand Slam match since winning his

first major title. Surprisingly, Wawrinka looked listless. More stunningly, he looked very little like a guy who was seeded No. 3 behind Rafael Nadal and Novak Djokovic and proclaimed himself “one of the favorites” just a few days earlier. In by far the biggest development of the tournament’s first two days, Wawrinka lost in the first round at Roland Garros with a 6-4, 5-7, 6-2, 6-0 defeat to 41st-ranked Guillermo GarciaLopez of Spain. “I was trying to find my game, trying ... to be aggressive, trying to find anything. And I didn’t,”

said Wawrinka, whose trademark one-handed backhanded was offtarget throughout. “I was completely flat.” He is the first Australian Open champ to exit in the first round of that year’s French Open since Petr Korda in 1998. Garcia-Lopez has never been past the third round at a major. During a pre-tournament news conference Friday, Wawrinka spoke about deriving confidence from his recent spate of success. Long in the shadow of Roger Federer, his Swiss Davis Cup and Olympic teammate, not to mention good friend, Wawrinka

reached his first major semifinal in New York last September, beating defending champion Andy Murray before losing a five-setter to Djokovic. In January, Wawrinka topped Nadal in the Australian Open final. Boosting his clay-court bona fides heading to Paris, Wawrinka defeated Federer in April’s final at the Monte Carlo Masters. While he’s never been beyond the quarterfinals at the French Open, Wawrinka seemed primed to do so. Instead, he lost in the first round in Paris for the first time since 2006.

and excels at anything she does,” Klaich said. “She began playing at a young age and put a lot of time and work into her game. She never was overconfident in her skills, but little by little gained confidence as she attended a variety of summer camps and played varsity level ball beginning at eighth grade.” Nianiella’s hometown, Nikolaevsk, was founded east of Anchor Point in the 1960s as a Russian Old Believer community. The village has approximately 350 residents, approximately 75 percent of them, including the Dorvall family, are Russian Old Believers. The school has about 66 K-12 students, 16 of them in high school. Dan Dorvall is the school’s custodian; Luba Dorvall is a tutor and works in student nutrition. Their eldest daughter, Priscilla, 22, works for International Data Systems in Anchorage. Nianiella is their middle daughter. Their youngest, Anastacia, is in the eighth grade and also interested in playing basketball. On June 15, Dorvall will participate for the second summer in the Della Keats Health Sciences Summer Program, a University of Alaska Anchorage School of Medicine program that encourages students’ interest in the medical professions. Classes for the fall quarter at Skagit Valley begin Sept. 22. “To Nianiella, basketball is a great tool to help her achieve her goal of ultimately becoming a radiologist,” said Klaich. “If her basketball skill can help her achieve her career goals, she is all for it.”

colleges. “I sat down and talked it over with the coach and my parents and academics came first,” said Nianiella. “Skagit was a better fit.” After being named the 1A player of the year, Nianiella was invited to play at the Girls AllStar game in Anchorage in April. Klaich was invited coach one of the all-star teams and took Nianiella along to participate. “In conjunction with the AllStar Game, there was an ‘Exposure Camp’ for female high school basketball athletes put on by Jim Young, the Dimond High School varsity coach,” said Klaich. “He had invited college coaches from Washington and Oregon to come up to scout Alaska’s best basketball players.” Six coaches accepted Young’s invitation, putting on a two-day workout for players wanting to show their talents and possibly be recruited. Three Nikolaevsk players — Kayla Stafford, Sophia Kalugin and Nianiella — took part in the Exposure Camp. “I told Nianiella not to participate and get scouting coaches’ hopes up thinking that she night potentially play for them unless she was serious about playing college ball,” said Klaich. “She chose to participate, with my blessing of course.” Having watched Nianiella develop as a basketball player over the years, Klaich knew she was an athlete that had her priMcKibben Jackinsky can be orities in order. “She has always been an reached at mckibben.jackin‘academics first’ young lady sky@homernews.com.

Caps name Trotz head coach By The Associated Press

After missing the playoffs for the first time in seven years, the Washington Capitals hired former Nashville Predators coach Barry Trotz and promoted Brian MacLellan to general manager on Monday. Trotz was the Predators’ coach for 15 seasons before being dropped from the job in April. In Washington, he takes over for Adam Oates, who was fired last month with a season left on his three-year deal.

MacLellan replaces George McPhee, whose contract was not renewed after 17 seasons as the Capitals’ GM. In the team’s press release announcing Monday’s moves, owner Ted Leonsis said Trotz was “the only coach we coveted” and called him “an ideal fit to help lead our club.” It’s a change in philosophy for the Capitals in terms of picking a coach: Each of McPhee’s choices for the job had never previously been a head coach in the NHL.

Woman’s HIV status casts shadow on budding romance DEAR ABBY: I’m a 32-year-old woman who is HIV-positive. My colleague — who is unaware of my status — recently introduced me to a relative of hers who is also lonely and looking for someone to settle down with. We “clicked” and seem to complement each other in every way, although we haven’t had any sexual encounter. My fear is, how do I disclose my status without being rejected? He seems to have big plans for us, which include settling down and having kids in the future. I am also worried that he might be angry with my colleague and not believe that she is unaware of my status. Please help me get out of this dilemma. — IN A SPOT IN SOUTH AFRICA DEAR IN A SPOT: I’ll try, but there are no guarantees. Much depends upon the strength of this man’s feelings for you. It is very important that you have a frank discussion with him before the relationship goes any further. The fact that you are HIV-positive may be problematic, but it does not mean you cannot have a family together if you wish in the future. Medications and other medical interventions can help keep the virus from being transmitted to your children, and condoms can protect your partner. If you are upfront about your status, the chances

are better that he will believe you when you tell him his relative was not aware that you have HIV when you were introduced. In a case like this, honesty is the best policy.

Hints from Heloise

Rubes

HHH Your instincts will guide you with spending, price comparison and negotiation. Be sure to keep your budget in mind, even though you won’t want to. If you have been feeling unusually tired and withdrawn, you might want to consider scheduling a checkup. Tonight: Pace yourself. CANCER (June 21-July 22) HHHH Zero in on what you want and what you feel is most important for the majority. You could overthink an emotional issue or a problem with a child or loved one. Your positive attitude will help you to get past a bump or hassle. Tonight: Enjoy the moment. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) HHHH You will have an opportunity to take the lead on an important project that you care a lot about.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) HHHH Relate to a partner or associate directly about an issue surrounding funds. This person needs to know how you feel; saying nothing or copping an attitude will not be as powerful. He or she needs to know where you are coming from. Tonight: Togetherness works. SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21)

By Leigh Rubin

Ziggy

HHHHH You might want to have a long-overdue conversation with several colleagues. Unless you convene a meeting with the people involved, you will not see this talk happen. Take responsibility for what you desire, and make it so. Tonight: Be entertained. Try a movie. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) HHH You have a lot of ground to cover. You can succeed if you focus on each task at hand. A partner will pitch in and help if you delegate some of your responsibilities. Curb a tendency to be so critical of yourself. Tonight: Head home, but make sure to squeeze in some exercise first. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) HHHH You’ll put in a major effort at a meeting to present others with the options as you see them. You will anticipate a certain amount of feedback, but what you end up hearing might be totally unexpected. Go with the moment, and know your limits. Tonight: Go for naughty. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) HHHH You might want to reconsider an offer involving property. You could feel overburdened by your options and not know which way to go. Lighten up the moment with your sense of humor. A childlike energy will emerge later today, when you finally feel free. Tonight: In the moment. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) HHHH You might want to ask more questions about a matter that surrounds your personal life. Let your ingenuity lead the way to the right path for you, and hopefully for others as well. A friend is likely to wonder what is going on with you. Tonight: Express your caring.

The call you don’t return Dear Readers: How often does your cellphone ring, but you don’t recognize the number? Does it ring once but hang up before you answer? Before you call the number back, know that you could be the next victim of the one-ring cellphone scam, according to the Federal Trade Commission. This scam counts on your curiosity, expecting you to call back the number to find out who called. As soon as you call the number, you are put on hold and charged international phone rates and by-minute rates. So, resist the urge to call back or even answer an unfamiliar number. Keep a close eye on your monthly phone bill! — Heloise Frozen brushes Dear Heloise: When painting a room with a roller, often you want to do a second coat, and that means waiting a good 12 hours or until the next day. Rather than cleaning the roller, we roll it out well, then wrap it in plastic wrap and put it into the freezer. The next day, we take it out to thaw and repaint the wall. We’ve never had a problem, because it works really well. — Sally B. in Washington Sewing hint Dear Heloise: When sewing, I put one of the advertising magnets that come on the front of phone books under the arm of my sewing machine, with the magnet side up, to the right of the needle and footplate. When you take out the pins as you sew, just put them on the magnet, and they will stay put until you can place them back in a box. Saves you from finding them on the floor with your bare feet! If you are working with one of the newer machines, be sure the magnet won’t interfere with the computers. — Sharon B. in Pennsylvania

Animal’s odyssey forms a teachable moment By MARSHA SILLS The Advocate

LAFAYETTE, La. (AP) — Dozens of outstretched hands tried to scoop Henri, a Great Pyrenees, into a hug, patting his long tufts of fur, none of which fazed the large white dog, who sat patiently, accepting the attention as he listened attentively to the young voices reading to him about a dog, who like Henri, finds a home of his own. Henri and his owner, Deborah Clothier, visit classrooms in the Acadiana area several times a month to encourage children to read and to teach lessons about animal adoption and how to properly treat animals. “We want to educate our children and break this cycle that we have of cruelty in this area,” Clothier said. “We tell them about Henri and his story and talk about what they can do in their community.” Clothier was inspired to start a literacy program after she and a friend spent a vacation volunteering with Best Friends Animal Sanctuary, the country’s largest no-kill sanctuary for animals in Kanab, Utah. A few years later, she started the program in Acadiana, bringing Henri to classrooms on her own. About two years ago, she

began offering the program in partnership with Lafayette Animal Aid, a local no-kill shelter where she volunteers. Henri is a trained therapy dog who is part of the national organization Pets for Health. This spring, the duo will have visited hundreds of children, Clothier said. The two also visit nursing homes and hospitals. In May, Clothier and Henri visited second-grade classes at Myrtle Place Elementary School. Clothier told the children how she found Henri on a road near her home in Acadiana. It appeared that he had been abandoned and that he hadn’t eaten in days. He had a skin disease and weighed about 35 pounds, nearly half his current weight. She took Henri to a vet and cared for him as he recuperated. “It took Henri about a year to recover,” Clothier told the second-graders. When he was well, she found him a good home. But one day, Henri got out of his backyard, and his new owners couldn’t find him. Three days later, Clothier opened her garage door and Henri was there, waiting for her. The Great Pyrenees had crossed two highways and traveled about 15 miles to find her, but Henri did it. Henri’s owners decided it was best for

him to stay where he wanted to be — with Clothier. “I’m convinced that love is very strong and that power enabled him to find his way back to me,” she told the class. During the visit, she read the children the book “Before You Were Mine.” The picture book tells the story of a little boy who asks his dog questions about what his life may have been like before he was adopted by the boy. The child wonders if his old owner kept him on a chain or got mad when he made a mess, not understanding that he was only a puppy. Clothier explained the work of the animal shelter and how she and Henri often care for puppies who have been abandoned.

“Do y’all know how you can be a good citizen?” she asked the students. “If you see a dog or cat being neglected or abused, you can tell an adult.” Even though they may not have any animals, there are ways that they can help care for them, Clothier said. “There are things that kids can do,” she said later. “They can help an elderly neighbor feed or walk their dog or help a friend clean out his hamster’s cage.” After Clothier read the book, the students took turns reading a page to Henri. Some scooted closer to him, reading directly to the dog. Over the years, Clothier said, she’s seen many struggling readers encouraged by reading to Henri.
