In the news Club for Growth running ad against Begich

JUNEAU — A national conservative group says it’s spending $300,000 on ads painting U.S. Sens. Mark Begich and Mark Pryor as “parroting” statements by President Barack Obama about the federal health care law. Club for Growth Action focuses on the Democrats’ comments about people being able to keep their insurance plans. There was no immediate breakdown of how the money was being spent between the two states. Begich is from Alaska and Pryor from Arkansas. Club for Growth PAC endorsed Republican former state Natural Resources Commissioner Dan Sullivan in Alaska and Rep. Tom Cotton in Arkansas. Begich has said when he made the comments, it was expected people could keep their plans. Spokesman Max Croes says Alaskans are tired of Outside groups telling them what to think and who to vote for. —The Associated Press

‘Defensive to offensive’ Evacuees return, fire crews clean what’s left behind By RASHAH McCHESNEY Peninsula Clarion

After several days of fighting to keep the Funny River Horse Trail wildfire from burning homes in communities along the Sterling Highway and Funny River Road, a light rain fell on the windy, dry Kenai Peninsula Tuesday, showering evacuees who were told they could return home. Five structures have been lost to the fire, according to the Alaska Interagency Management Team, one private cabin, one Department of Natural Resources Cabin — Wally’s Cabin, two natural conservatory cabins and one outbuilding in the Kenai Keys neighborhood where the more than 285 square mile fire jumped the Kenai River Sunday — See FIRE, page A-12

Leticia and Joe Thiede look at a recent map of the wildfire that forced them to evacuate their home on Funny River Road Sunday. Leticia Thiede, who is eight months pregnant with their first child, said the ordeal has been stressful. The family stayed the past two nights at a recreational vehicle park until the evacuation was lifted Tuesday.

Central Emergency Services firefighter Jake Lamphier lights a small brush pile on fire as his crew works to clear potential fuel from a fire line on Funny River Road Tuesday in Soldotna. Nearly 700 firefighters and support personnel travelled to the Kenai Peninsula to keep the Funny River Horse Trail wildfire from overtaking communities in the area. The most recent maps show the fire to have burned 182,209, or 285 square miles, of Kenai Peninsula Wildlife Refuge land.

After her third night of sleeping in a motor home at the King Salmon RV Park in Soldotna, Leticia Thiede woke Tuesday morning to the sound of rain hitting the roof; music to her ears after everything she has experienced since the Funny River Horse Trail wildfire threatened her community. Along with her husband, Joe Thiede, mother, Mary Lee, and their two dogs, the family packed into an RV a friend lent to them Saturday after they evacuated their home on Funny River Road. Leticia Thiede, who is eight

months pregnant with her first child, said she has been on doctor’s orders to avoid stressful situations. Despite the evacuation, she said friends and family have been very supportive and she has been impressed with how the community banded together to help people. “It has been a stressful week,” she said. “We are not the only people dealing with this.” At 9 a.m. Tuesday, fire officials lifted the evacuation order for Funny River Road. Leticia Thiede, who had her final doctor’s checkup Tuesday before her due date on June 4, said she would wait to see if it is worth the stress to go back home while the evacuation advisory is still

in effect. Leticia Thiede and Lee were two of more than 50 who attended an evacuation information meeting Monday at Redoubt Elementary School. The American Red Cross of Alaska set up a temporary shelter at the school for displaced residents. Sue Thornton, a shelter manager, said nine people spent the night at the shelter, which provided food and water. A second shelter in the Sterling Elementary School was set up for residents from the Kenai Keys and Feuding area, who were under an evacuation advisory. The advisory for the Sterling neighborhood was lifted on See RETURN, page A-12

Fishing groups, feds, testify on management By MOLLY DISCHNER Morris News Service-Alaska Alaska Journal of Commerce

Sonar estimates

50 cents newsstands daily/$1.00 Sunday

ANCHORAGE — A federal judge heard oral argument yesterday in the lawsuit regarding whether or not Cook Inlet should be in a federal salmon management plan. Alaska has managed its own salmon since statehood, and neither party is questioning

that. But the United Cook Inlet Drift Association and Cook Inlet Fishermen’s Fund, who brought the lawsuit forward in February 2013, want federal oversight of salmon management — and believes that is what congress has intended in its regulations of fish in federal waters. The National Marine Fisheries Service, however, specifically excluded Cook Inlet salmon from the federal fishery

management plan, or FMP, via Amendment 12. In December 2011, the North Pacific Fishery Management Council unanimously voted to officially have Alaska Department of Fish and Game manage Cook Inlet, Prince William Sound and Alaska Peninsula salmon fisheries, and note that in the federal fishery management plan, or FMP. The council manages most fisheries in federal waters, or

from three to 200 miles from shore, largely under the authority of the Magnuson-Stevens Act. The salmon FMP for federal waters offshore from Alaska was then revised to reflect that change in jurisdiction. The FMP is required by the Magnuson-Stevens Act. The final rule implementing that change was published in the federal register in December 2012, effective Jan. 22.

That’s the decision the Cook Inlet commercial fishing organizations are challenging. The federal defendants have said they have the authority to make the change. During oral argument in U.S. District Court in Anchorage, Judge Timothy Burgess asked both sides to answer several questions about deference to federal management in See SUIT, page A-5

Tyonek fire nearly contained Calling all heroes By DAN BALMER Peninsula Clarion

Firefighter officials said the Tyonek wildfire should be 100 percent contained by the end of Wednesday, nine days after the wind-driven fire was first reported to be moving toward Tyonek. On Tuesday the fire had spanned 1,906 acres between the villages of Tyonek and Beluga along the shore on the west side of the Cook Inlet, but crews contained about 85 percent of the fire and no growth is expected, said Washington Incident Management Team public information officer Chuck Turley.

Turley said firefighters were confident that full containment lines around the perimeter of the fire would put out any heat that remained. Light but steady rain started Monday night and is in the forecast the next few days, he said. With 196 personnel assigned to the fire Tuesday, Turley said a large number of resources were reassigned to fight the Funny River Horse Trail wildfire. The crews remaining in Tyonek conducted mop-up duty, or clearing the area around fire containment lines to ensure that nothing is rekindled. A crew with the Mat-Su Division of Forestry and a Type-4 Incident Commander will remain to pa-

trol the fire for an undetermined period of time, he said. Turley commended the efforts of the first responders, who built a fire line and prevented the fire from reaching the village of Tyonek. The Type 2 incident management team was dispatched from the state of Washington last Thursday. “The initial attack crews did an outstanding job,” he said. “For as few people as they had they did great work at a critical time.” Nikiksi firefighters and Beluga volunteer firefighters worked on the ground with bulldozers and put out spot fires. Turley said firefighters have See TYONEK, page A-5

The word “hero” can bring to mind anyone from law enforcement officers keeping communities safe to emergency responders saving lives to the firefighters working to contain the Funny River Road wildfire. But the Summer of Heroes program, developed through a partnership between Alaska Communications and the Boys and Girls Clubs of Alaska, looks to recognize the young heroes of Alaska. “It’s just recognizing a

youth in the community (who have) done good,” said Heather Schloeman, executive director of Boys and Girls Clubs of the Kenai Peninsula. A panel of judges will select five winners from nominated kids this summer to receive a $1,500 scholarship and a trip to the Alaska State Fair in Palmer where they will be recognized for their heroism. Jennifer Brown, director of marketing and public relations for Boys and Girls Clubs of Alaska, said See HERO, page A-5

Harbor seal pup found in Juneau’s Auke Bay JUNEAU — A newborn harbor seal pup captured at Juneau’s Auke Bay will be trained to fend for itself at the Alaska SeaLife Center in Seward. KINY says the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration was notified Thursday about the pup by someone who reported seeing the animal being born. NOAA marine mammal specialist Kate Savage says the person who reported the pup inadvertently chased away the mother. Plans are to release the pup back to the Auke Bay area in about a year. — The Associated Press

What Others Say

Mental illness facts need to be known

A month-long emphasis on mental

The real American hustle

We’ve all seen the pharmaceutical ads on TV -- you know, the ones that typically offer relief from something like, say, itchy elbows. Once you get past the narrative and the video, which shows the deep shame that anyone feels when scratching his elbow and introduces the blessed relief of some medication named ArmBend-numb or whatever, we get the long disclaimer: “Do not use Arm-bend-numb within 16 hours of eating. Arm-bendnumb can cause feeling of deep depression, a variety of cancers and problems with your immune system that can result in death.” I don’t know about you, but by the time that’s through, I’ve decided to take my chances with the itchy elbow. The drug companies probably hate the disclosures that cut into their profits, but we get to decide whether relief is worth it. Right now, we get some sort of disclosure from the airlines, who are required to tell us the full cost of flying from here to there, listing not only their base price, which allows you to stuff yourself into one of the plane’s fetal-position seats, along with the mandatory taxes and fees. Luggage and just about everything else are extra. Currently, the airlines need to inform us about all that when we are looking for the best fares. They’re not happy about it, so in true American corporate fashion they’ve influence-peddled members of Congress

health and wellness draws to a close this week - the 65th annual national observance of a month focusing on mental illness, its diagnosis, treatment, healing and outreach to the families and friends touched by it. Mental Health America is the national sponsor, but its professional and/or organizational affiliates in every state participate, bringing a message of honesty, optimism and candor to the issue and its consequences. Perceptions about mental illness, thankfully, have changed dramatically through the decades, thanks to mental health departments, not-for-profit advocacy organizations and the successful treatment stories shared by patients. Most people understand there is no shame in mental illness, but there is a challenge to seek treatment to get well. The facts of mental illness in the United States are startling and need to be fully known: — Nearly one in every five Americans age 18 and older will have a diagnosable mental health disorder in a given year, and 46.4 percent will experience a mental health disorder in the course of a lifetime. — Stress, heavy drinking of alcoholic beverages and common health risks like obesity all contribute to mental disorders, as does a general lack of regular exercise. Mississippi fortunately has a relatively low rate of mental illness compared to other states, but rates for some kinds of substance abuse have risen dramatically, including illicit drug use among the population 26 and older, federal reports have shown. Despite the low reported federal statistics, the Mississippi Department of Mental Health reported in 2013: “Ask your friend or neighbor if they have been touched by substance abuse or mental illness in any way and the answer is almost always - ‘yes.’” Substance abuse and mental health issues are serious public health problems in Mississippi. In 2012, an estimated 199,000 Mississippians needed treat- Letters to the Editor ment services for alcohol and drug use and more than PBS station desired 165,000 people for a mental health issue.” The issue can best be measured in the stark human toll, I think I speak for the entire peninsula when I question “where is the real time, and the needs created.

up-to-date news” on the fire? Folks are trying to get information and the media — Northeast Mississippi Journal, is woefully lacking in providing it. The Tupelo, Mississippi, news provides what has happened yesMay 27 terday and provides it in such a way that seems detached from the resident’s real need for facts. But what is happening NOW? How about this... We have a PBS station. Why not get feeds every hour that By GARRY TRUDEAU can be broadcast by the PBS channel? How about a representative that can stand before the camera and show the map and the progress of fire-fighting efforts. People want to know where the fire is going, where the winds are propelling it, and what the real status of the fire is. They want this constantly. This is not small event. Certainly we should not be left in the dark (will the glowing light of a thousand burning spruce trees). People across the central peninsula are a bit troubled because they are not being provided the essential information they need to make critical decisions. Public Broadcasting is the way. I want to see an hourly update on PBS as to the extent of the fire, the present measures that are being employed to stop the advance, and most importantly, the direction of the fire. To the state: You are promoting a sense of panic and confusion BECAUSE there is no authoritative update given to the public. Use the PBS system. It is designed for us and should be used to keep us abreast of the potential danger to all of us who live in the central peninsula. Do it now.... Norm Olson Nikiski

Classic Doonesbury, 1974

Peninsula a ‘tinderbox’ One would have wonder; if the agencies in charge of our Kenai National C

to try to introduce legislation allowing airlines to advertise only the base price, and add the other charges once you’ve gone several steps into the booking process. The deceit even extends to the title Bob Franken of the bill. It’s the Transparent Airlines Act of 2014. Notwithstanding the shameless dishonesty, the airlines do make one semi-valid point, and that is that other biggies in the travel industry, such as hotels and carrental companies, are allowed to get away with the same subterfuge. We’ve all bristled at the car-rental counter when we’re informed that the rate we’ve been quoted “excludes” a long list of fees that often exceed the advertised rental rate. And how many of us have been outraged when our hotel adds on all the taxes, fees and, my personal favorite, the facility charge for just being in the building. Our stay ends up costing not just an arm and a leg, but another limb as well ... probably the one with the itchy elbow. Yes, the airlines have a right to be treated equally. But the answer is not to allow their filmflam, but to require hotels and car rental companies to end theirs and make clear what we’re really going to pay

Wildlife Refuge should find fault with themselves in response to the Funny River Fire. The Kenai Peninsula has been a tinderbox for the past 20 years. It was not a matter of if, rather of when a major fire would occur. Short of parking a tanker in everyone’s yard; what can anyone expect? Five days into the fire there have been no calls for evacuation and no structures or livestock damaged. This fire has thus far been the “perfect storm.” It has burned acreage that has long been identified as a serious fire risk without, short of a little discomfort from smoke, hurting anyone. Those looking for someone to blame, and it seems someone must be, never mind choosing to reside surrounded by second growth boreal forest, the epitome of fire in the making, need look no further than the Kenai National Wildlife Refuge (KNWR). At the onset of the fire, when retardant could have been used, and really the only possible intervention that could have had significant impact, the KNWR intervened as it might contaminate precious KNWR property. Yep, the KNWR would rather your property burn to the ground than “contaminate” refuge property. Not surprising given the KNWR seems to have completely lost touch with the community. What Kenai Peninsula residents should be grateful for is this fire didn’t start north of the Sterling Highway. Had that have happened there is no chance, thanks to the KNWR, that it would be contained and Peninsula residents from Kenai to Sterling would be in dire straits. The KNWR has made excuses for their lack of pro-active fire management for some time now. The suggestion of fire breaks throughout the refuge where adjacent neighbors would be threatened when the inevitable wildfire occurs have been ignored in favor of “natural diversity. In doing so they are endangering the property of Peninsula residents. On the bright side for those looking to find fault, the season is young and the annual prediction for the past 20 years of a wildfire occurring on the north Peninsula is still a very real possibility.

when we select one. After a while, it gets truly wearisome that we live in such a caveat emptor society, where we have to expend so much energy trying to avoid the legalized swindle. The reason it’s not a crime is because usually our lawmakers are receiving financial incentives from those who want to get away with their chicanery. While we’re at it, we have to include the politicians among those whose claims range between disingenuous and outright lies. This is bipartisan. They lie on both sides of the fence. Whenever Republicans want to oppose anything that would jeopardize their wealthy buddies, they attack it as “job killing.” That’s one of their bogus excuses for defending inequality. And we shouldn’t forget President Barack Obama’s claim that “If you like your health-care plan you can keep it.” It wasn’t true when he said it; he was consistently warned that it wasn’t. But it tested well with focus groups. Maybe our campaign ads should come with a disclaimer like the drug commercials. Something like, “Electing this candidate may do serious harm to this country and have a negative effect on your own life.” Because these days, when it comes to all the rhetoric, more and more people just aren’t buying it. Bob Franken is a longtime broadcast journalist, including 20 years at CNN.

The KNWR has failed in its responsibility to the general public, why because this land is our land not theirs, they are just the managers not owners and we pay their salaries with our hard earned tax dollars. If the KNWR had spent 10 million dollars in the last 20 years on good fire management instead of a 10 million dollar visitor center maybe such an intense fire could have been avoided. Thomas N.

Biologist warns against musk oxen viewing NOME (AP) — A state biologist in Nome is cautioning people on the Seward Peninsula against viewing musk oxen up close, saying that endangers young calves. An early spring is moving peninsula musk oxen closer to where people live, KNOM reported. Getting too close to the animals can scare herds, harming or even killing young calves, Alaska Fish and Game biologist Tony Gorn said. Musk oxen population declines are near 13 percent yearly, with calf survival rates down, according to Gorn. He said those declines are further pressured by wildlife watchers who get too close to

the animals. “When they’re watching them and they’re causing the groups to run off, it’s really a big deal with musk ox groups, because new calves can’t keep up when adults run off,” he said. “When adults run off, often times calves get stepped on and killed.” He also cautioned people against caring for calves that appear to be abandoned, when in reality their mothers are actually not that far away. That could be a death sentence because it could be difficult for calves to rejoin a herd, he said. The young animals are much more likely to survive if left alone.

certain situations, whether the Magnuson-Stevens Act precludes referring management to the state, and past situations where fish in federal waters have been managed exclusively by the state.

managed jointly, and in the FMP. The parties also discussed the 2012 salmon fishery disaster in Cook Inlet. The plaintiffs contend that because disaster was not properly accounted for in the final rule that removed Cook Inlet from the federal management plan. “These are the kinds of problems that we need the council and the National Marine Fisheries Service to be weighing in on,” said Jason Morgan, counsel for UCIDA and CIFF. But Howell said the timing of the disaster was such that the

decision was made beforehand, and it was not up for a change after the disaster occurred. Furthermore, he noted that the fishery disaster was an economic one — and the plantiffs likely benefitted, because setnetters were shut down, affording the drift fleet additional harvest opportunity. The State of Alaska is also participating in the suit as an intervenor on the side of the federal defendants, and state Department of Lawyer attorney Lance Nelson said that another issue raised in the lawsuit, the potential for harvest in a certain area where the Cook Inlet

groups say a loophole allows vessels to fish unregulated, has not yet occurred and likely will not. Nelson also said that the state has the resources to manage the fishery, while the federal government does not. Morgan also noted that the fishing groups are not looking for day-to-day federal management, just oversight. Burgess said at the end of the hearing that he’ll issue a written decision in the case.

“My dad stepped up and became fire chief and kind of dragged me along with him,” Haller said. In 2012, Haller put in 250 volunteer hours for the fire department. He is studying toward his Firefighter I certificate, but no one in Seldovia is certified to do the training for it. “Everything (in Seldovia) is volunteer, so we’re not certified to go into houses or any of that stuff,” he said. “We’re certified to hold a hose and put the fire out.” Haller is also a certified emergency trauma technician. When he’s 18, Haller plans on becoming an emergency medical technician. Haller will be a high school senior next year and plans to attend Kenai Peninsula College

for computer science. While working toward a degree, Haller also wants to continue firefighting. After college, he wants to attend the Alaska State Trooper academy. Nearly a year after finding out he won, Haller still doesn’t know who nominated him. “He is kind of an all-around outstanding kid,” said Hannah Blankenship with Alaska Communications. In 2012, Courtney Stroh of Kenai and Shaylee Rizzo, a Nikiski teen, received Summer of Heroes scholarships for their community work. Stroh founded a team to clean up fish waste during dipnet season in Kenai. Rizzo raised awareness about vehicle and moose accidents by writing a kid’s book and educating elementary students.

Alaskans are asked to nominate youth ages 6-18 who make a difference in their community whether it’s raising money for a cause, volunteering or contributing in other ways. Nominations can be made through July15 online at alaskacommunications.com/summerofheroes or forms can be picked up at Alaska Communications stores or Boys and Girls Clubs. For every Alaska Communications smartphone purchased before July 15, the company will donate $25 to the Boys and Girls Clubs of Alaska.

Around the World The CEO of your company just got a huge raise. You didn’t. Here’s why. WASHINGTON — Pay for globe-trotting CEOs has soared to new heights, even as most workers remain grounded by paychecks that are barely budging. While pay for the typical CEO of a company in the Standard & Poor’s 500 stock index surged 8.8 percent last year to $10.5 million, it rose a scant 1.3 percent for U.S. workers as a whole. That CEO now earns 257 times the national average, up from a multiple of 181 in 2009, according to an analysis by The Associated Press and Equilar. Those figures help reveal a widening gap between the ultrawealthy and ordinary workers around the world. That gap has fed concerns about economic security — everywhere from large cities where rents are high to small towns where jobs are scarce. Here are five reasons why CEOs are enjoying lavish pay increases and five reasons many people are stuck with stagnant incomes.

Malaysia releases satellite data on missing jet, but experts doubt it will solve mystery KUALA LUMPUR, Malaysia — Close to three months after the Malaysian jetliner disappeared, the government on Tuesday released reams of raw satellite data it used to determine that the flight ended in the southern Indian Ocean, a step long demanded by the families of some of the passengers on board. But while the 45 pages of information may help satisfy a desire for more transparency in a much criticized investigation, experts say it’s unlikely to solve the mystery of Flight 370 — or give much comfort to relatives stuck between grieving and the faintest hope, no matter how unlikely, their loved ones might still be alive. “It’s a whole lot of stuff that is not very important to know,” said Michael Exner, a satellite engineer who has been independently researching the calculations. “There are probably two or three pages of important stuff, the rest is just noise. It doesn’t add any value to our understanding.” He and others said the needed assumptions, algorithms and metadata to validate the investigators’ conclusion were not there.

High-pollution power plant that said it was victim in Obama’s ‘war on coal’ survives HOMER CITY, Pa. — Three years ago, the operators of one of the nation’s dirtiest coal-fired power plants warned of “immediate and devastating” consequences from the Obama administration’s push to clean up pollution from coal. Faced with cutting sulfur dioxide pollution blowing into downwind states by 80 percent in less than a year, lawyers for EME Homer City Generation L.P. sued the Environmental Protection Agency to block the rule, saying it would cause it grave harm and bring a painful spike in electricity bills. None of those dire predictions came to pass. Instead, the massive western Pennsylvania power plant is expected in a few years to turn from one of the worst polluters in the country to a model for how coal-fired power plants can slash pollution.

Nation Obama charts end to war By JULIE PACE AP White House Correspondent

WASHINGTON — Charting an end to America’s longest war, President Barack Obama announced plans Tuesday for keeping nearly 10,000 U.S. troops in Afghanistan after this year but then withdrawing virtually all by the close of 2016 and the conclusion of his presidency. The drawdown would allow Obama to bring America’s military engagement in Afghanistan to an end while seeking to protect the gains made in a war in which he significantly intensified U.S. involvement. “We have to recognize that Afghanistan will not be a perfect place, and it is not America’s responsibility to make it

one,” Obama declared during an appearance in the White House Rose Garden. He credited American forces, which were first deployed by President George W. Bush within a month of the Sept. 11, 2001, attacks, with striking significant blows against al-Qaida’s leadership, eliminating Osama bin Laden and preventing Afghanistan from being used as a base for strikes against the U.S. He said: “Now we’re finishing the job we’ve started.” The drawdown blueprint is contingent on Afghanistan’s government signing a stalled bilateral security agreement. While current Afghan President Hamid Karzai has refused to sign the accord, U.S. officials say they’re confident that either

of the candidates running to replace him will finalize the deal. In fact, both candidates who are on the ballot in next month’s runoff — former Foreign Minister Abdullah Abdullah and ex-Finance Minister Ashraf Ghani Ahmadzai — welcomed Obama’s announcement Tuesday. But not everyone at home did. The size and scope of the residual U.S. force largely mirrors what Pentagon officials had sought, which appeared to give Obama cover with some Republicans, including House Speaker John Boehner, R-Ohio. But some of president’s harshest critics on foreign policy — Sens. John McCain of Arizona, Lindsey Graham of South Carolina, and Kelly Ayotte of New Hampshire — called

the decision short-sighted and warned that it would embolden enemies. “The president’s decision to set an arbitrary date for the full withdrawal of U.S. troops in Afghanistan is a monumental mistake and a triumph of politics over strategy,” the three Republicans said in a joint statement. U.S. forces had already been on track to stop combat operations in Afghanistan by the end of 2014, more than 13 years after the American-led invasion. But Obama wants to keep some troops there to train Afghan security forces, launch counterterrorism missions and protect progress made in a war that has left at least 2,181 Americans dead and thousands more wounded.

US nears decision on training Syrian rebels By MATTHEW LEE and LOLITA C. BALDOR Associated Press

WASHINGTON — President Barack Obama may soon sign off on a project to train and equip moderate Syrian rebels, in an open move that would significantly boost U.S. support to forces who have been asking for three years for military help in their quest to oust President Bashar Assad, administration officials said Tuesday. The step would send a limited number of American troops to Jordan to be part of a regional training mission that would instruct carefully vetted members of the Free Syrian Army on tactics, including counterterrorism operations, the officials said.

— The Associated Press

They said Obama has not yet given approval for the initiative, and that there is still internal discussion about its merits and potential risks. In a foreign policy speech on Wednesday to the U.S. Military Academy, Obama is expected to frame Syria as a counterterrorism challenge and indicate that he will expand assistance to the opposition, according to the officials. However, he is not likely to announce the specific program, which is still being finalized, the officials said. The officials spoke on condition of anonymity because they were not authorized to publicly discuss administration deliberations. The State Department, Pentagon, intelligence community,

along with many in Congress who back the move, have concluded that Assad will not budge without a change in the military situation on the ground, according to the officials. At the same time, there are growing fears about the threat posed by al-Qaida-linked and inspired extremists fighting in Syria, the officials said. The Senate Armed Services Committee last week passed a defense bill that authorizes the Defense Department to provide training and equipment to vetted elements of the Syrian opposition. The US already has covert support operations in place for the Syrian opposition, and it is not yet clear how the new program would work. The United

States has spent $287 million so far in non-lethal aid on the four-year-old civil war. Rebel commanders have been asking the U.S. for lethal assistance as they’ve seen gains wiped out one after another, but the U.S. has been reluctant to move to that kind of aid for fear weapons could end up in the hands of extremist rebels who might then turn on neighboring Israel or against U.S. interests. The State Department on Tuesday declined to comment on the proposed train and equip program, which was first reported by the Wall Street Journal. Spokeswoman Jen Psaki, however, told reporters that an array of options to support moderate Assad foes remains under consideration.

How VA clinics falsified appointment records By PAULINE JELINEK Associated Press

WASHINGTON — Fake appointments, unofficial logs kept on the sly and appointments made without telling the patient are among tricks used to disguise delays in seeing and treating veterans at Veterans Affairs hospitals and clinics. They’re not a new phenomenon. VA officials, veteran service organizations and members of Congress have known about them for years. The “gaming strategies” were used to make it appear veterans were getting appointments within target times set by the department, according to a 2010 department memo to VA facility managers aimed at fighting the practices. The memo from William Schoenhard, then the VA’s deputy undersecretary for health operations and management, said that when a medical appointment wasn’t available within the 30-day target time then used by VA, some schedulers would: — Make a fake appoint-

ment within the 30-day period but not tell the patient. The appointment would be canceled later and a new appointment would be made to meet a new 30-day target. — Note on a paper log the actual distant date of an appointment, but not enter it into computer until within 30 days of the date. — Give the patient an appointment at whatever date was next available, but log it in the computer as the date the veteran had asked for. Schoenhard’s nine-page memo ordered the practices stopped and instructed managers on how to detect them. Then he added: “Please be cautioned ... additional new or modified gaming strategies may have emerged, so do not consider this list a full description of all current possibilities of ... practices that need to be addressed.” Or as Sen. Patty Murray, D-Wash., put it at hearing this month: “As soon as new directives are put out, they’re torn apart to find out how to get around the requirements.”

‘As soon as new directives are put out, they’re torn apart to find out how to get around the requirements.’ — Sen. Patty Murray, D-Wash. “Cooking the books” at VA hospitals has exploded into public view since allegations arose that up to 40 patients may have died at the Phoenix VA hospital while awaiting care. The department’s inspector general said he’s found no evidence so far that any of those deaths were caused by delays. He’s widened his office’s probe to include 26 VA centers but hasn’t specified just what is being investigated at the newly added locations. There are some 1,700 VA health facilities nationwide, including hospitals, clinics and residential rehabilitation centers. Investigators are now trying to determine how widespread is the practice of falsifying records. But the fact it is a problem has been detailed in VA inspector general reports

and Government Accountability Office reports to Congress going back a decade. The 2010 Schoenhard memo cited practices identified by a task force monitoring access to care. “We have worked very hard ... to root out these inappropriate uses of the scheduling system and these abuses,” VA’s Robert Petzel testified at a Senate hearing this month. “This has been a very important thing to us for at least the last four years.” Petzel was the top VA health care official until he was forced to resign ahead of his retirement previously scheduled for later this year. “It’s not that people haven’t brought this up before, it’s just the word ‘secret’ lists blew it up in the media,” Vietnam Veterans of America’s Richard

Weidman said in an interview. “They weren’t secret, they were handwritten” logs kept aside from computerized scheduling. “People should stop the hysteria and say what the root of this problem is.” The problem, according to Weidman and several other veteran service organizations, is there are not enough medical personnel to meet the demand for VA health care. Several of the groups have complained for years that the VA budget — though continually rising — is too small to provide enough doctors, medical centers and services. The number of veterans relying on VA for health care has jumped 17 percent since 2009. Operating the largest single health care agency in country with 9 million patients and 85 million appointments a year, the agency has struggled to keep its head above water. It has hired more medical workers and opened 55 more community outpatient clinics, bringing to 820 the number of those clinics nationwide. VA also has added 21 more

mobile clinics to serve veterans in rural areas and now has a fleet of 79 of them. When it comes to how long it takes to get an appointment, VA stands apart from much of the health care industry. VA now has a 14-day target for seeing patients once they seek appointments and the agency is supposed to chart the timeliness of each of them. Some lawmakers have suggested the target is unrealistic and said basing employee bonuses and pay raises on meeting it is outrageous. In the private sector, some large health provider networks set standards, but there’s little data on how well the standards are followed, making comparisons difficult. Also, the majority of private physicians in the U.S. are not part of a network. But like the VA, appointment wait times in the private sector vary widely by geography and the attending physician’s specialty. Independent reports have found that though access is a problem, VA care is equal to or better than that in the private sector.

Congress: US should confront Russia on nuke treaty By DEB RIECHMANN Associated Press

WASHINGTON — Congress is stepping up pressure on the White House to confront Russia over allegations that it is cheating on a key nuclear arms treaty — a faceoff that could further strain U.S.-Moscow relations and dampen President Barack Obama’s hopes to add deeper cuts in nuclear arsenals to his legacy. Butting heads with Russian President Vladimir Putin over compliance with a 26-yearold treaty to eliminate an entire class of nuclear weapons is not something that fits into Obama’s “reset” with Russia, which already was stalled after Russia granted asylum to National Security Agency leaker Edward Snowden and annexed Ukraine’s Crimean Peninsula. But the issue has been simmering for a few years and Re-

publicans on Capitol Hill want Obama to address it head-on. The Russians are accused of testing a new ground-launched cruise missile in violation of the treaty. Russian officials say they have looked into the allegations and consider the matter closed. It’s unclear why the administration, which has raised the issue with Russia through diplomatic channels, doesn’t want to publicly blow the whistle on Moscow’s alleged violation of the Intermediate-Range Nuclear Forces Treaty signed in 1987. The treaty banned all U.S. and Russian land-based ballistic and cruise missiles with ranges between 300 miles and 3,400 miles. There are several theories: The U.S. doesn’t want Russia to pull out of the treaty altogether, which would be embarrassing for a president who, shortly after taking office, declared

his vision of a world without nuclear weapons. Obama has won Senate ratification of the New START treaty, the most significant arms control pact in nearly two decades. The treaty, which took effect in February 2011, requires the U.S. and Russia to reduce the number of their strategic nuclear weapons to no more than 1,550 by February 2018. Last June, Obama announced in Berlin that he wants to cut the number of U.S. nuclear arms by another third, which would shrink the total to between 1,000 and 1,100 weapons for bombers and land- and sea-based missiles. He said he intends to “seek negotiated cuts” with Russia — something Congress would be unlikely to approve if Russia is found in violation of the 1987 INF treaty. It’s an awkward time for

Washington to be pointing a finger at Russia over nukes. Besides the issues over Snowden and Ukraine, Washington needs Russia’s help in ending the Syrian civil war and sealing a deal that constrains Iran’s nuclear activities in exchange for lifting economic sanctions on Tehran. Republicans in Congress are getting impatient. “By failing to even acknowledge Russia’s cheating

— almost since day one of the ‘reset’ policy and during his New START treaty negotiation — the president has failed to lead,” said Rep. Mike Rogers, an Alabama Republican who chairs the House Armed Services strategic forces subcommittee. “The Congress — unwilling to wait any longer on the president — is moving ahead with declaring Russia’s conduct to be a violation of its treaty ob-

ligations. But we only have one commander in chief, and it’s time for him to put our defenses and other responses in place.” The Republicans especially want to know whether the Obama administration knew about the alleged cheating on the INF treaty when it was asking Congress to ratify the New START treaty, which the president hailed as a “cornerstone of our relations with Russia.”

Ukraine fighting intensifies after election By PETER LEONARD Associated Press

DONETSK, Ukraine — Dozens of dead insurgents lay piled in a van outside a morgue Tuesday, and a rebel said more were on the way. Bomb disposal experts disarmed a mortar round lodged in a corpse. A wrecked and blood-soaked truck at the Donetsk airport showed the grisly aftermath of battle. The fight for eastern Ukraine seems to have taken a ferocious turn, as both sides step up their attacks after the rebellious regions mostly boycotted a presidential election that delivered a decisive winner. Following a day and night of the heaviest and most sustained assault by Ukrainian government forces to date, the pro-Russia separatist movement finds itself facing an emboldened and resolute national leadership. With Sunday’s election of billionaire Petro Poroshenko to the presidency, Kiev has received grudging and tentatively positive diplomatic overtures from Russia. But with evidence that irregulars are continuing to pour into Ukraine from Russia, it remains unclear whether the Kremlin is encouraging fighters whose attack Monday on the Donetsk International Airport showed their increasing aggression. What is certain is that the Ukrainian government’s antiinsurgent operation has been

kicked into a higher a gear, with the military unleashing fighter jets, helicopter gunships and heavy artillery. Government opponents insist they have taken up arms to defend eastern Ukraine’s Russian-speaking population and have appealed to Moscow for assistance. Kiev condemns the insurgents as “terrorists” bent on tearing the country apart. Donetsk Mayor Oleksandr Lukyanchenko said 40 people, including two civilians, were killed in fighting after government troops thwarted a rebel attempt to seize the airport, Ukraine’s second-largest. The bodies of about 30 insurgents were brought Tuesday morning to the Kalinin Hospital morgue, said Leonid Baranov of the self-proclaimed Donetsk People’s Republic. The fighters had been wounded and were being transported to a hospital in a truck when it was shot up by government forces, he said. Inside the morgue, bodies were stacked crudely in heaps. Some were missing limbs. Experts removed an unexploded mortar round that had embedded itself in one man’s abdomen. Baranov said up to 100 rebels were probably killed in combat, but many bodies had not yet been recovered because they were in areas under government control. His death toll could not be independently confirmed. “As they are controlling the airport and the fight was there

‘As they are controlling the airport and the fight was there ... we cannot right now identify exactly how many victims we have.’ — Leonid Baranov, Donetsk People’s Republic ... we cannot right now identify exactly how many victims we have,” he said, adding that hundreds were also wounded. A bloody flatbed truck stood wrecked outside the airport, with body parts and teeth strewn around it. Rebels said it had been fired upon by a helicopter. After being squeezed out of the airport following hours of intense fighting, insurgents called in several hundred reinforcements. Many were from a unit calling itself the Vostok — or East — Battalion, which Donetsk People’s Republic representatives have said includes combatants from Russia’s North Caucasus. Later, Ukrainian forces pounded rebel positions, forcing the fighters to retreat in disarray. One overturned truck down the road from the airport showed signs of having struck a tree at high speed. In an emergency televised address Tuesday, the Donetsk mayor warned residents to stay indoors but also gave assurances that government troops would not push into the city center.

Sporadic gunfire was heard throughout the day around the airport. Many shops and restaurants in Donetsk did not open. One resident, Alexander German, built a sandbag barricade at a crossroad near the overturned truck. “We’re defending ourselves. They insult us, call us bandits. Do you see weapons on me?” he said, displaying his open palms. Others nearby spoke angrily about the unrest gripping the city — fury that could intensify as what is increasingly looking like an outright military conflict picks up pace. After Poroshenko claimed victory in the election, hopes were raised of a push for unification in the deeply divided nation. He has vowed to negotiate a peaceful end to the insurgency. But he also compared the separatists to lawless “Somali pirates” and promised he would stop them from sowing more chaos. The billionaire candy magnate and politician is known for his even-handed and pragmatic rhetoric, and he has supported

building strong ties with Europe, but also stressed the importance of mending relations with Moscow. President Barack Obama, who spoke with Poroshenko by phone Tuesday, plans to meet him while in Europe June 3-6, the White House said. Obama offered him the United States’ full support to unify Ukraine, it added. Poroshenko, who has not yet been sworn in, pending official confirmation of the results, said his first step as president would be to visit the troubled east. He said he hoped Russia would support his efforts to bring stability, and that he wanted to hold talks with Moscow. But Ukraine’s acting Prime Minister Arseniy Yatsenyuk said Ukraine has no intention of talking to Russia directly. “The government’s stance is unchanged: bilateral talks without the presence of the United States and the European Union do not seem possible under current conditions,” he said. Since the election, the emphasis has been on ratcheting up the momentum of security sweeps. Kiev-based political analyst Volodymyr Fesenko said this week’s operations showed that the Ukrainian armed forces are becoming steadily more confident. “The capabilities of the Ukrainian army are growing,” he said. “There appears to be an emphasis on getting the separatists out of Donetsk and the

big regional cities.” If the scale of Ukraine military operations is broadening, so may the size of the armed opposition, much of which is apparently drawing its manpower from Russia. In the Luhansk region, where separatists like those in Donetsk have also declared independence from Kiev, the Ukrainian Border Guards Service said its officers repelled gunmen from Russia trying to break through the frontier. Russia’s security services denied any such crossing had taken place. Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov voiced strong concern about Ukraine’s intensifying military operations, and he called for an immediate end to the fighting. Lavrov warned Poroshenko against trying to win a quick military victory before his inauguration, saying that it would be “unlikely to create favorable conditions for a hospitable welcome in the Donetsk region.” Moscow has denied accusations by Kiev and the West that it has fomented the insurgency. Russian President Vladimir Putin annexed the Ukrainian Black Sea peninsula of Crimea in March but has stonewalled the eastern insurgents’ appeal to join Russia. Russia has kept pushing for Ukraine to decentralize its government, which would give more power to the regions and allow Moscow to keep eastern Ukraine in its sphere of influence.

Pregnant Pakistani woman stoned to death By K.M. CHAUDHRY and ZAHEER BABAR Associated Press

LAHORE, Pakistan — A pregnant woman was stoned to death Tuesday by her own family outside a courthouse in the Pakistani city of Lahore for marrying the man she loved. The woman was killed while on her way to court to contest an abduction case her family had filed against her husband. Her father was promptly arrested on murder charges, police investigator Rana Mujahid said, adding that police were working to apprehend all those who participated in this “heinous crime.” Arranged marriages are the norm among conservative Pakistanis, and hundreds of women are murdered every year in socalled honor killings carried out by husbands or relatives as a punishment for alleged adultery or other illicit sexual behavior. Stonings in public settings, however, are extremely rare. Tuesday’s attack took place in front of a crowd of onlookers in broad daylight. The courthouse is located on a main downtown thoroughfare. A police officer, Naseem Butt, identified the slain woman as Farzana Parveen, 25, and said she had married Mohammad Iqbal, 45, against her family’s wishes after being engaged to him for years. Her father, Mohammad Azeem, had filed an abduction case against Iqbal, which the couple was contesting, said her lawyer, Mustafa Kharal. He said she was three months pregnant. Nearly 20 members of Parveen’s extended family, including her father and brothers, had waited outside the building that houses the high court of Lahore. As the couple walked up to the main gate, the relatives fired shots in the air and tried to snatch her from Iqbal, her lawyer said. When she resisted, her father, brothers and other relatives started beating her, eventually pelting her with bricks from a nearby construction site, according to Mujahid and Iqbal, the slain woman’s husband. Iqbal said he started seeing Parveen after the death of his first wife, with whom he had five children. “We were in love,” he told The Associated Press. He al-

leged that the woman’s family wanted to fleece money from him before marrying her off. “I simply took her to court and registered a marriage,” infuriating the family, he said. Parveen’s father surrendered after the attack and called his daughter’s murder an “honor killing,” Butt said. “I killed my daughter as she had insulted all of our family by marrying a man without our consent, and I have no regret over it,” Mujahid, the police investigator, quoted the father as saying. Mujahid said the woman’s body was handed over to her husband for burial.

Thai troops detain gov’t minister who blasted coup By TODD PITMAN and THANYARAT DOKSONE Associated Press

BANGKOK — Armed troops detained a Thai Cabinet minister who defiantly emerged from hiding Tuesday to condemn last week’s military coup and urge a return to civilian rule, in the first public appearance by any member of the ousted government. About half a dozen soldiers took former Education Minister Chaturon Chaisang into custody in a chaotic scene at the Foreign Correspondents’ Club of Thailand, where he had just finished giving a surprise news conference. The junta, which seized power last Thursday, already had detained most top members of the Southeast Asian country’s ousted elected government and ordered the rest to surrender. Chaturon called for elections and warned that resistance to the army’s power grab could grow, which could lead to “a disaster for this country.” When his news conference was finished and Chaturon was being interviewed by a group of Thai journalists, soldiers entered the room, surrounded

him, and escorted him out through a crowd of reporters. He was calm and smiled as he was taken away. “I’m not afraid. If I was afraid, I wouldn’t be here,” Chaturon said, before being hustled into an elevator. The military coup, Thailand’s second in eight years, deposed an elected government that had insisted for months that the nation’s fragile democracy was under attack from protesters, the courts, and finally the army. The country is deeply split between an elite establishment based in Bangkok with political supporters in the south that cannot win elections, and a poorer majority centered in the north and northeast that has begun to realize political and economic power. A “coup d’etat is not a solution to the problems or conflicts in Thai society, but will make the conflicts even worse,” Chaturon said. Army chief Gen. Prayuth Chan-ocha, who was endorsed Monday by the king as the nation’s new head of government, has warned opponents not to criticize or protest, saying Thailand could revert to the “old days” of turmoil and street

‘I’m not afraid. If I was afraid, I wouldn’t be here.’ — Chaturon Chaisang, former Education Minister violence if they did. Still, several hundred people gathered Tuesday around Bangkok’s Victory Monument to protest the coup. Despite the political upheaval that has left the nation’s elected leadership in tatters, life has continued largely as normal in most of the country, with tourists still relaxing at exotic beach resorts and strolling through stunning Buddhist temples. However, a curfew remains in effect, although it will be shortened Wednesday to midnight to 4 a.m., hotel bookings are being canceled, and American singer-songwriter Taylor Swift on Tuesday canceled a sold-out concert that had been scheduled on June 9. The junta has ordered more than 260 people to report to the authorities so far. Among them are scholars, journalists and political activists seen as critical of the regime. Prayuth has said they need time “to calm them-

selves down.” It is unclear how many are still in custody, but some have been released, including former Prime Minister Yingluck Shinawatra, who had already been forced from power by a court ruling before the coup. Others are being detained daily. Human rights groups describe a chilling atmosphere with some people in hiding, others fleeing, and soldiers visiting the homes of perceived critics and taking them away in the night. On Tuesday, the military summoned two Thai newspaper journalists who had asked “inappropriate” questions to Prayuth during a news conference a day earlier. The reporters, from the Thairath and Bangkok Post dailies, had queried the junta leader about when and whether he would appoint a prime minister and organize elections. Prayuth gave no definitive answers, and

abruptly walked away from the podium. The reporters were not detained and left freely. Prayuth “wanted to tell them that right now, he’s no longer merely the army chief, he’s the leader who runs the country,” said Maj. Gen. Ponlapat Wannapak, the secretary to the Royal Thai Army. “To ask him in such an aggressive, pushy manner is not appropriate.” Aware of rising concern over the detainees, army-run TV Channel 5 on Tuesday night showed videos of some of them, including members of the Red Shirts, a mass organization that supported the ousted government. Red Shirt leader Jatuporn Prompan said he was OK and felt that “now everyone knows how each other feels and should do everything not to let the country lose.” Deputy army spokesman Winthai Suvaree said the images were being released to show that the detainees are being treated well and fairly. Chaturon earlier called the detentions “absurd” and said “they are taking people who have done nothing wrong just because they might resist the coup.” “The problem is, we don’t know how long they are going

to be detained,” he said. “We don’t know what happened to them. We don’t really know.” He warned that “from now on there will be more and more resistance. ... It will be a disaster for this country.” The junta has yet to map a way out of the crisis, but Prayuth has said there would be political and administrative reforms. On Monday, he gave the green light for the Finance Ministry to seek billions of dollars in loans to pay debts owed farmers under a disastrous rice scheme instituted by the ousted government. The junta has given no timetable for restoring civilian rule, and Chaturon said Prayuth “might want to hold onto power for some time.” Prayuth, he said, has “assigned the generals to take care of the jobs at the ministries — the tasks they know the least.” Thai media reported Tuesday that the junta had established an advisory board with military and civilian members. It is headed by former Defense Minister Gen. Prawit Wongsuwan, who was seen as a major behind-the-scenes player in efforts to oust the civilian government, and is a possible interim prime minister.

French politics in serious disarray, except for far right By ELAINE GANLEY and ANGELA CHARLTON Associated Press

PARIS — An anti-immigration movement founded by a man convicted of anti-Semitism now leads polls in France. The mainstream conservative party risks collapse amid a financing scandal. The Socialist president is the most unpopular leader in modern French history. France, a pillar of Europe’s unity and economy, is finding itself in serious political disarray and at a loss for easy solutions. The resounding weekend victory of the far-right National Front in European elections shook the establishment and dealt a new blow to President Francois Hollande’s floundering Socialists. Now, the conservative party is imploding over

a campaign financing scandal linked to former President Nicolas Sarkozy’s failed 2012 bid to renew his mandate. The chief of the conservative UMP party, Jean-Francois Cope, agreed Tuesday to resign on June 15. A collegial leadership made up of three former prime ministers will then step in to hold up the shaky party until an October congress when a new chief is elected. The turmoil can only profit the far-right National Front and complicate a potential comeback bid for Sarkozy, who has said not a word. But the leader of the far-right National Front is gloating. “The Socialist Party is wiped out,” and the conservatives “are in a freefall,” said Marine Le Pen at a news conference Tuesday. The National Front election campaign “revealed the

true face of French political life,” she added. France had been ailing even before the Sunday elections to choose the French contingent in the European Parliament. Economic growth is feeble, unemployment high and Hollande unable to deliver an economic cure or even inject a boost to the national morale. They were perfect ingredients for a far-right rise, and Le Pen knew where and how to strike. The smiling, hard-driving leader aimed at the faceless European Union with its rules and regulations, and the euro currency that, she says, benefit only Germany and make a mockery of France. The National Front is antisystem: Anti-immigration, antiEU, anti-euro and anti-globalization. It wants nothing more

than to save French civilization from what it calls the risk of domination by Muslim immigrants, and extract France from the “steel jaws” of the EU. It is a message that taps into a vein of deep disillusionment and has garnered a broad following that includes fed-up leftists as well as a traditionalist far-right core. Le Pen has revamped the party image, softening it for broader appeal and distancing herself from old attitudes embodied by her father, Jean-Marie Le Pen, that included anti-Semitism. Instead, she unrelentingly targets Muslims. The National Front’s European electoral win — with a quarter of the votes — followed a success in March municipal elections when the party won control of 11 towns.

“The French suffer from austerity, unemployment and social difficulties. But our governments are deaf to the cry of the people,” Le Pen said Monday. Hollande is gambling that boosting the economy is the only thing he can do to claw support away from the political extremes. But his riposte to the far right was off-key. After the European voting results were clear, he pledged to keep doing what he’s doing and push through tens of billions of euros in tax and spending cuts that he hopes will get companies hiring again and shrink France’s debts. Le Pen wants to profit fully from her party’s new winning image with a new parliamentary vote in France, where the

National Front has but two seats in a 577-seat legislature. “In the immediate, we demand the dissolution of the National Assembly as an act of political reality,” she said at Tuesday’s news conference. “We must go back to the people.” Turmoil within the mainstream conservative UMP party could provide yet another boost to the far right. But a leading National Front official said the political void is frustrating. “What is happening now is distressing .... There is no debate possible because there is no adversary facing us,” said Florian Philippot, a party vice president and newly-elected European deputy. “But having said that, our voice is audible.”

SkyHi softball makes history vs. SoHi Homer cruises past Kenai to close in on final Northern Lights Conference state berth Staff report

With the doors closed on their final school year and their building taken over by firefighters, the Skyview softball team proved it is never too late to make history. The Panthers topped Soldotna 6-5 on Tuesday at Guy and Judy Hayes Field for the softball program’s first victory over the Stars. That kept Skyview in the running to make even more history by garnering the program’s first state berth. The top two teams in the Northern Lights Conference earn state berths. Kodiak has locked up one of those state berths at 6-2. Homer is at 5-2 and can clinch the second state berth with a victory over host Soldotna today at 4 p.m. But if the Stars beat the Mariners

tonight, things get interesting. A win tonight puts Soldotna at 4-3 with a Thursday game against Skyview remaining. The Panthers are 3-3 with a Thursday game with SoHi and Friday game against Kenai on the slate. “We’re going to try and win out,” Skyview coach Steve Schoessler said. “I’m real proud of the way, once they tied it up, we hung in there and didn’t get flustered. “We kept playing ball.” The game was a tight, back-andforth affair. Skyview, the home team, grabbed a 1-0 lead after the first, but SoHi led 2-1 after 2 and 3-2 after 3. In the fifth inning, the Panthers rallied to take a 5-3 lead. SoHi came right back in the sixth inning for a 5-5 game.

In the bottom of the sixth, Marina Rodriguez walked and stole two bases to get into position for the winning run. Schoessler said the key to the victory was putting pressure on SoHi’s defense. Skyview had three hits off Serena Prior, but only struck out three times and walked five times. “Once we got on the basepaths we were aggressive stealing bases and moving runners around,” Schoessler said. Sam Reynolds, Lynn Hesse and Cat Schoessler were each 1 for 3 with a walk. Reynolds and Hesse scored twice, while Schoessler scored once. “They played a great game,” SoHi coach Kelli Knoebel said. “Take nothing away from them. They made the other team make plays and that’s great softball.”

Li Na bows out in Paris

NHL Playoffs

Baseball

PARIS — Much to her dismay, Li Na is familiar with this feeling. She earns a Grand Slam championship, is heralded at home, then shows up at subsequent major tournaments and seemingly forgets how to win. Happened in 2011, after her French Open triumph made her China’s first player with a Grand Slam singles title. Happened again Tuesday, when Li was seeded second at Roland Garros but lost to someone ranked 103rd in the first round, not quite four months removed from winning the Australian Open. “I didn’t follow the game plan,” Li said. “Didn’t have any idea how to play.” Her 7-5, 3-6, 6-1 exit against Kristina Mladenovic of France in front a partisan crowd on a cloudy, windy Day 3 came about 16 hours after the men’s Australian Open champion, third-seeded Stan Wawrinka, was beaten in Paris — making this French Open already unlike any Grand Slam tournament in history. It’s the first time that the men’s and women’s singles champions from the previous major lost in the first round. “Nobody say if you (are) No. 2 in the world, you have to win all the matches. I mean, this is tennis,” said Li, who works with Carlos Rodriguez, former coach of four-time French Open titlist Justine Henin.

he Kenai Golf Course, the only fully equipped, 18-hole golf course on the Kenai Peninsula, has been open for three and a half weeks now. This is amazing when you consider that it is still May. What is even more amazing is that we are on all 18 greens and carts are allowed on all 18 holes. The greens are getting green with no sand to impede play. The greens have been verticut and overseeded, and are in great shape. They are watered nightly from 10 p.m. to 5 a.m. by a great watering crew consisting of JD and Henry. Nos. 14 and 16 are in the best condition they have ever been and it is the earliest we have been on those greens. What a great early season start! Last year we still had some snow on the ground at this time. The golf course is in great shape in all areas and it will continue to get better. The projects we started last year will be completed this year. New tee boxes for ladies on Nos. 3, 13 and 17 will be completed. The new 18th green is in excellent shape and

Reynolds pitched all seven innings for Skyview and gave up seven hits and four walks while striking out six. “We had a couple of errors out there but we didn’t let them get to us,” Schoessler said. “We didn’t compound the errors by stacking them on top of each other.” Prior was 2 for 4, while Amber McDonald, Macylea Elsey, Kayla Bauter, Ila Cobb and Allison Nelson all had one hit. Knoebel said the Stars are ready to fight to keep their season alive today. “We let one slip away today but we’re ready to come back tomorrow and do our thing,” she said.

Habs stay alive MONTREAL — The Montreal Canadiens are not ready to concede the Eastern Conference title to the New York Rangers. Rene Bourque scored three goals and the Canadiens chased star goalie Henrik Lundqvist from the game as they defeated the Rangers 7-4 on Tuesday to stave off elimination. The Rangers, who lead the best-of-seven series 3-2, will have another chance to earn a trip to the Stanley Cup final in Game 6 on Thursday night in New York. “I think you’re starting to see us playing Montreal Canadiens hockey,” Montreal forward Max Pacioretty said. “I don’t

Derek Stepan, playing with a guard on his helmet to protect a broken jaw suffered from a Brandon Prust hit in Game 3, returned to the lineup to score twice for the Rangers.

. . . Fire Continued from page A-1

prompting an evacuation along Funny River Road and an advisory for Kenai Keys residents. The evacuation of Funny River Road was lifted by 9 a.m. Tuesday as was the evacuation advisory for residents on Kenai Keys Road and Fueding Lane, said Kenai Peninsula Borough spokesperson Brenda Ahlberg. While the light rain helped firefighters, crews need at least three days of steady rain for the water to have a major impact on the fire, said Rob Allen, incident commander. Rob Porter, firefighter with Kachemak Emergency Services crew from Homer, worked steadily Tuesday as he walked along Kenai National Wildlife Refuge land. Occasionally he crouched to run his hand along the ground, feeling for hot spots. At other moments he used a hoe to dig into smoldering piles in the blackened woods just south of Funny River Road, scattering the spots until they stopped smoking. Porter echoed Allen’s assessment of the rain.

‘We don’t fight fires, we herd fires. It’s good for the habitat, good for the wildlife, good for the ecosystem.’ — Rick Thompson, division supervisor “The rain helped calm people but it didn’t really rain enough to put the fire out or have any significant, appreciable effect,” he said. But, while the rain has not stopped the fire — it has allowed firefighters the chance to pull back and focus on fuel reduction, or cleaning, putting out smoldering spots and burning brush piles in areas where the wildfire has already burned. Firefighters made progress extending containment lines on the west side of the fire in Kasilof and along the Sterling Highway, according to a management team media release. Burnout operations, or burning to remove fuel from the line of a potential fire outbreak, were also completed along the northern edge of the fire near Funny River Road. The process of reducing fuel for potential fires could take awhile.

Around Alaska Trans-Alaska pipeline assessed at $10.2 billion FAIRBANKS (AP) — Oil companies that own the trans-Alaska pipeline will have 30 days to appeal a State Assessment Review Board decision to set the value of the pipeline system at $10.2 billion. The decision last week set a figure sharply higher than the $5.7 billion set by the state assessor. Oil companies contend the system should be valued at $2.7 billion and municipalities such as the Fairbanks North Star Borough argued for $13.76 billion. The decision can affect oil companies’ property tax bills by tens of millions per year, the Fairbanks Daily News-Miner reported. The board decision drew strong interest after Gov. Sean Parnell dismissed the former board chairman, Marty Mc-

“This is what actually takes so long,” said Kenai Peninsula Borough health and safety officer Brad Nelson. “You put the initial fire line out, you get it contained and everything, then you’re forever doing the fuel reduction.” The cleaning, or mopping up, helps move the fire fighting efforts from defensive to offensive, said Rick Thompson, a division supervisor covering an area of the wildfire that burned directly south of Funny River Road. Thompson, who worked Tuesday with a crew of about 100 as they cleared a Kenai National Wildlife Refuge-built fire break near Mile 9 of Funny River Road, said as long as homes were not being threatened — the wildfire would probably continue to burn east and further into the 1.92 million acre Kenai National Wildlife Refuge.

Gee, the longtime Anchorage property tax assessor, and replaced him with a member with a lengthy career in the oil industry. Critics said the change could skew decisions in favor of the industry and reverse increases based on a court case that concluded the industry had historically undervalued the pipeline. The board, however, chaired by James Mosley, a former oilfield worker, chose a figure closest to the one recommended by municipalities. “The Board finds that the Municipalities have met their burden of proving that the assessment was improper and not in accordance with the standards of (state law),” Mosley wrote. The board rejected the state assessor’s decision to use a 2009 study on pipeline value. “More recent estimates of cost, based on actual quotes from vendors and research in the market, are preferable to trending forward old studies,” Mosely said. Oil companies have appealed board assessments for eight consecutive years.

Rob Porter, firefighter for Kachemak Emergency Services works to clear a line about 100 feet into a fire line on Funny River Road Tuesday in Soldotna. Residents who were evacuated from the area have been allowed to return and firefighters are working to put out smoldering piles and burn potential fuel sources to lessen the chance of a hot spot turning into a fire. The area, near mile 9 of Funny River Road, was caught in the Funny River Horse Trail wildfire which has burned 182,209 acres of Kenai National Wildlife Refuge land.

Managers estimate that the fire is about 30 percent contained, according the media release. However, managers are not aiming to put the fire out —

School spokeswoman: Gun cases cause for concern JUNEAU (AP) — The Juneau School District is safe, but two recent cases of students bringing guns to school are cause for concern, spokeswoman Kristin Bartlett said. Bartlett said this would be a good time to review safety procedures to ensure schools are running regular drills and to make sure students and families understand the expectations for acceptable behavior at school. Drills are required for evacuations, earthquakes and lockdowns. She also is compiling data to see if there has been an increase in the number of weapons brought to school, KTOO reported. On May 17, police responded to a local middle school, where they say a 13-yearold brought a BB gun to detention. Last week, police arrested a 17-year-old boy accused of bringing a pistol to Thunder Mountain High School. No one was hurt in either instance.

Amy Utecht, a teacher at Redoubt Elementary School, said she was relieved when she received the call Tuesday morning that the evacuation order had been lifted. On May 21, two days after the wildfire started, she was preoccupied with transitioning from teaching third grade to fifth grade, which required her to move into a new classroom, when her husband called to tell her about the evacuation advisory. Utecht said she stayed at a friend’s house Monday night. While she never imagined her workplace would be transformed into a shelter one week after school got out, she said the support from the community and school district has been amazing. “It is amazing to see everyone helping each other,” she said. “I am praying for more rain.”

Tuesday. Funny River Road resident Joe Ward said the volunteers with the Red Cross have done a wonderful job. Ward, who attended the evacuation meeting at Redoubt, said he stayed in a camper across the Kenai River in Sterling. Ward helped his parents, who live on River Bend Drive off of Funny River Road, evacuate. They spent Monday night in a hotel. He said his primary concern is that his family is safe. He thanked the firefighters who are in the front lines of fire. “Its impressive to see them lined up ready to risk life and climb to protect us,” Ward said. “We are thinking about those (firefighters) too.

Crossword

Man trolling on dating sites is not ready to fall in love DEAR ABBY: I met the most wonderful man on a dating site. We seemed to hit it off. In fact, we are falling in love with each other. But he isn’t ready for an exclusive relationship and still wants to date. He gets on the dating sites when I’m asleep in his bed. I really care for him, but I don’t want to pressure him. He has told me he loves me, but right now he just wants to be friends. He says I should also date, but how do you turn off love? — SAD AND CONFUSED DEAR SAD AND CONFUSED: Please don’t think I’m unkind, but when a man is falling in love with a woman, he does not creep out of bed in the dead of night to visit dating sites. He also doesn’t tell her to date other people. Although you may love this guy, from where I sit, when he said he “just wants to be friends,” it appears he meant friends with benefits. Because you are looking for more than that, the next time he gets out of bed to peruse a dating site, you should go with him — on your way out the door.

refuses to go anywhere without her 33-year-old daughter, “Chloe.” They even dress alike. Chloe is pretty and doesn’t have a boyfriend. When Chloe goes out with friends, her mother rings her cellphone over and over until Chloe turns it off. What do you think is the problem? If Michelle and I go Abigail Van Buren someplace, she wants to bring Chloe, or she calls her and has her come to where we are. Chloe complains to me that she wants her freedom, but Mom accuses her of not loving her, and cries and makes her feel guilty. Chloe is a college graduate. Her mother allows her to work, but she must come straight home afterward. I’m confused, Abby. What can I do? — SOMETHING’S NOT RIGHT DEAR SOMETHING’S NOT RIGHT: How sad DEAR ABBY: I have a friend, “Michelle,” who is for Chloe. Michelle’s relationship with her daughattractive, intelligent and works as a teacher’s assis- ter is more “smotherhood” than motherhood. It’s tant in a public school. What I can’t understand is, she not healthy for either of them. Your friend appears

to be unable to see Chloe as separate from herself — which is why she wants them to dress like twins and becomes anxious when Chloe is with friends instead of by her side. The kindest thing you could do for the young woman would be to tell her to discuss this with a licensed mental health professional, because she will need help and support in severing the umbilical cord at this late date. That won’t be easy. There will be pain involved for both Chloe and her desperately possessive mother, but if Chloe is going to have an independent life, it has to happen. Dear Abby is written by Abigail Van Buren, also known as Jeanne Phillips, and was founded by her mother, Pauline Phillips. Contact Dear Abby at www. DearAbby.com or P.O. Box 69440, Los Angeles, CA 90069.

Someone knows how to make your imagination work overtime. Be aware of your natural limits. Tonight: All smiles. CANCER (June 21-July 22) HHHH Your intuition will guide you. You might need some time by yourself to do some intense thinking. A roommate or family member could lose his or her patience. A friend in the know will reveal much more of what is going on with this person. Tonight: Play it low-key. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) HHHHH Zero in on what makes the most sense. You might not be ready to declare your thoughts about a personal matter just yet, but you will make a considerable effort to initiate this discussion. Someone enjoys your company. Tonight: Where your friends are. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) HHH You might want to deal with a loved one directly. An element of the unexpected seems to run through an important decision. You know where and how to spend your money, but a key associate or loved one might have a different idea of what works. Tonight: In the spotlight. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) HHHH You can meet any demand that comes your way. Your creativity seems to wander from one area of life to another. The answers you seek are a high priority in your mind.

Hints from Heloise

Jacqueline Bigar’s Stars A baby born today has a Sun and Moon in Gemini. HAPPY BIRTHDAY forWednesday, May 28, 2014: This year you come up with many different ideas for friends and professional associates. Others sometimes wonder where these intellectual gems come from, but they enjoy their usefulness regardless. If you are single, people find you to be a charming conversationalist. By midsummer, you’ll have many potential sweeties to choose from. Ask yourself what kind of relationship you want first. Do not minimize your need for companionship. If you are attached, the two of you never seem to want for a topic of conversation. You might not always agree, but you respect your different ideas and processes. When you meet a fellow GEMINI, you might not see a similarity unless you detach, as all of you are multifaceted. The Stars Show the Kind of Day You’ll Have: 5-Dynamic; 4-Positive; 3-Average; 2-So-so; 1-Difficult ARIES (March 21-April 19) HHHH You will be more expressive than you have been in a while. You could have a chance for a special new beginning because of your willingness to face facts. You’re determined to accomplish what you want. Others can’t help but be drawn toward you. Tonight: Strut your stuff. TAURUS (April 20-May 20) HHH You will put yourself on the line, if need be. You’ll feel as if you have a lot to offer, and you might want to let others know. Know that they likely have strong feelings as to what they want to do. Respond to an offer from a friend who cares a lot about you.

By Eugene Sheffer

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) HHHHH Relate to a partner directly. You’ll have an important decision to make, but first you might prefer to have a discussion on the topic. You will want to be sure of yourself when you finally decide to act. Your imagination could help your approach. Tonight: Enjoy a break. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) HHHHYou know how to bend for the well-being of the group. You have high energy and a sense of direction. Friends play a significant role in your decision-making process. Indulge a loved one who plays a significant role in your life. Tonight: Be more of a pal to a key person. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) HHHH You could be quite involved with a friend who adds considerable happiness to your daily life. You might need to maintain a nice, even pace to accomplish what you must. Use your instincts with a message, and you will choose the right words. Tonight: Let the good times roll. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) HHHHH You might want to be spontaneous. Use your sixth sense with an associate or a very playful friend. Explain your expectations as clearly as possible, and it will help others relax. Everyone has his or her strengths; use yours well. Tonight: Act as if it were Friday! PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) HHH You’ll need to hone your juggling skills as you attempt to balance an intellectual discussion with an intense premonition and a sense of destiny. You might have difficulty integrating these different concepts, as you could feel a little off-kilter. Tonight: Head home.

Parchment management Dear Heloise: I have a problem with parchment paper. Every time I use it, I cannot keep it on the pan. It slides off so easily, even when I am being careful. Cookies go everywhere. I’ve tried binder clips, but they pop off. Do you have any hints for preventing this? — Tammy P. in Texas Here are some hints to try: Cut parchment paper ahead of time and lay between two cookie sheets to flatten. When you need the paper, it should now remain flat while you use it. Use magnets to hold the corners of the parchment paper while putting cookie dough on it. Just make sure to remove the magnets before baking. — Heloise Heloise’s salt substitute Dear Heloise: Some time ago, you ran a recipe for a salt substitute. I made up a batch and gave it to friends. Now I need it for myself, and I have lost the recipe. Can you please reprint it? — Jo in Florida Sure can! This healthy salt substitute is great for anyone watching the amount of salt he or she eats. You need: 5 teaspoons onion powder 1 tablespoon garlic powder 1 tablespoon paprika 1 tablespoon dry mustard 1 teaspoon thyme 1/2 teaspoon white pepper (or black, if preferred) 1/2 teaspoon celery seeds Mix all ingredients together. Place in a tightly sealed container and store with your other spices (don’t forget to label the container!) in a cool, dry place. — Heloise

Soldotna Trustworthy Hardware & Fishing’s 29th Anniversary

The higher the number of anniversaries the faster the planet seems to be orbiting the sun agrees Scott Miller, whose family recently celebrated Soldotna Trustworthy Hardware & Fishing’s 29th Anniversary. “The anniversaries just seem to be coming around faster and faster and the ride keeps getting better and better thanks to this great community,” said Scott. The four day celebration featured eight pages of drastically reduced prices on items throughout the store, “It’s our way of saying thanks to the community for supporting us all these years and having some fun before the real summer crowds arrive and giving our local residents a chance to pick up some great deals. We work hard all winter

to get items that we can offer at great deals and this gives us a chance to give the local community that is here year round the first chance, it’s all about saying thanks,” added Scott. It’s the ninth year since Soldotna Hardware opened their new store at the corner Kobuk and the Sterling Highway and at this year’s 4 day celebration Team Trustworthy grilled and served up over 5,000 free hot dogs, “And these aren’t those little ball park weenies, these dogs are as big as a sausage,” commented a customer. The family owned Soldotna Hardware & Fishing will have three

generations of Miller’s on staff this summer with the Patriarch Paul Miller and his wife still at the helm. “We just want to be a good member of the community, that’s the goal our dad instilled in us and that’s what our kids are learning. We make a living here, but I grew up here and it’s all about making it a better community for everyone and that makes all this a lot of fun,” said Scott. For many years the Millers have sold raffle tickets on a brand new Willie Kenai River Boat give-a-way with proceeds going to community youth and sports activities,

This is JOE. He bought a home that is his dream house. He found it fast in the Real Estate Section of the Classifieds. People like Joe, People like you, People like.

but his this year like the king salmon there is a Willie Boat shortage, “Jim at Willie Boats ran out of Willies, so this year we’ll be raffling off a couple of four wheelers to raise funds for youth sports and we hope everyone will come out and support that and get their tickets right here at the store,” explained Miller. Trustworthy II is now in its third year right

next to the Hardware & Fishing store and has become a popular stop for lots of unique Alaskan apparel and gift items. Stop in and check out all the new items for summer.

Patty delivers William Kreiter of Kenai his hot Meal on Wheels.

Meals on Wheels means “No Senior goes hungry!” Caring for elders of a community is a tradition in Alaska that goes back thousands of years in native Alaskan culture. A tradition that is carried on today at the Kenai Senior Center through the Meals on Wheels program and workers like Patty Segura, “The Meals on Wheels is part of the national program that began back in 1961 with the enacting of the Older Americans Act and part of that act is to allow seniors to remain independent,” Segura told the Dispatch in an interview during her daily route from the center to the homes of her clients. “Meals on Wheels was started here by envoy Craig Fanning of the Salvation Army in around 1976, then in 1980 Pat Porter lobbied to have the city take the program on and last year alone we served over 27,000 meals and this is my sixth year driving and we have an awesome cook Missy and Bob who prepare the meals which are hot, nutritious and delicious every day and then I load them in my van and off I go,” said Segura. Thirty seven year Alaskan, twenty two year Kenai resident William Kreiter lost his wife a few years back and doesn’t

get around like he use to and looks forward to Patty’s arrival at his apartment every day, “It’s a live saver! Literally! I can’t cook anymore, not that I ever was a cook in the first place,” laughed Kreiter, “But it’s a wonderful program and I love the food they fix, its good stuff,” added Will. This year’s pie auction held April 25th at the Kenai Senior Center was a great success according to Segura and shows the community support for the Meals on Wheels program. “It’s a great turn out every year and keeps

this program going which means so much to our clients, they appreciate knowing the community is out there for them and Jake and I, the other driver appreciate being able to see them every day. Will is my first stop and always starts my day off with a hug and a smile,” said Patty. To qualify for Meals on Wheels you only have to be 60 or older and have a doctor’s order.

Bobbi & Steve England of Kenai Catering have returned the original Sheffield House to its former glory.

Kenai Catering re-models & reopens historic meeting place

In a place where Alaskan legends like Jay Hammond and Hugh Malone first discussed creating Alaska’s permanent fund and Don Gilman and Wally Hickel shared visions for a trans Alaska gas line to Kenai, you can now enjoy the tastes of original Alaskan desserts from award winning dessert chef Bobbi England of Kenai Catering. Originally the Sheffield House in Kenai the former Kenai Merit Inn was purchased last year by Steve and Bobbi England who have restored the building to its former glory and remodeled the interior to meet the community’s needs as it progresses into the 21st Century. “We’ve been working on it hard all year to get to this day and we’re excited to have our doors open and to have welcomed the Kenai Chamber here as our first re-opening event,” said Steve at last week’s Chamber luncheon. In addition to the remodeled

banquet room Kenai Catering is opening the first dessert shop on the Peninsula. “A dessert shop is not a bakery, don’t expect donuts for your morning coffee, this is a dessert shop where you’ll be able to come and pick up not only fresh baked and homemade desserts but we will be offering for the first time some of our signature items like the Chocolate Oh and the Chocolate Espresso Cheesecake that you can take home for your dinner or party

or sit down and enjoy right here in our new shop. You’ll also be able to have a real old fashioned banana split like the one’s your grandparents talk about getting at the old fashioned soda fountains,” said Bobbi. The new dessert shop will be open primarily in the afternoon or evening or by reservation. Kenai Catering is looking forward to a busy summer of catering community events on site but say they are happy to now own their own facility and

be able to accommodate events of various sizes, “We feel the renovations will return the popularity of the banquet room and that many folks might rather save the muss and fuss of their event by coming to this wonderful and historic building and build wonderful memories of special occasions that are the trademark of this locations. We’ll be offering what we have become well known for in our lunch and dinner buffets, our fantastic prime rib which I

modestly say is the best in the area. With the make-over we feel weddings will return to the facility and it’ll become a popular place for meeting and special events of all kinds,” added England. In 2011 Kenai Catering was awarded the Kenai Chamber of Commerce Small Business of the Year award and in 2013 recognized by the Soldotna Chamber of Commerce as the Small Business of the Year. Kenai Catering is a full service caterer

providing fresh flavorful cuisine and professional service. The banquet room hosts parties up to about 100 guests. Kenai Catering also provides catering to almost any location throughout the Kenai/Soldotna area with menus ranging from simple drop off lunches to exquisite hors d’oeuvres parties and full banquets and barbecues of 500 guests or more. For more information call Bobbi at 907252-0404 or visit their website at kenaicatering.com.

River guides organize 1st Kenai River spring cleanup.

Students from Ms. Wardis 6th grade class participate in Kenai 6th graders from Redoubt elementary fish for trash in the Kenai River. River Cleanup day.

First Kenai River Cleanup yields tons of trash The City of Soldotna teamed up with the Kenai River Professional Guide Assoc. (KRPGA) and the Soldotna Chamber of Commerce this year to host the first Kenai River Spring Cleanup from May 11th through the 17th. As part of the cleanup, KRPGA hosted a Kid’s River Cleanup day Friday the 16th, “The Kid’s day” came about

as a replacement for the Take a Kid Fishing day, because of the king salmon closure on the river this year. It was an event that the guides really liked and we didn’t want to discontinue working with the kids so we thought doing this with the school kids would be an excellent way to give back to the river and teach the kids stewardship of the wonder-

ful resource we all enjoy so much,” said Mark Glassmaker, KRPGA member. All the trash that was collected on Friday was brought to Centennial Park where Soldotna Mayor Dr. Nels Anderson presented awards in the following categories: Most Trash Picked Up By a School: Redoubt Elementary 840 lbs. Sterling Elementary, Cook Inlet Academy

& Connections Home School program kids also picked up trash. 1,783 lbs was the combined total for schools. Most Trash Picked Up by a Group went to Integrity Janitorial with 301 lbs collected. Most Trash Picked Up by an Individual was Osrick White coming in with 168 lbs of trash. The combined grand total equaled 2,494 lbs. Guides along with their teach-

ers worked alongside the kids and all wore personal floatation jackets. Ms. Jen Wardis, Redoubt Elementary 6th grade teacher was on hand with her kids and told the Dispatch, “We were very excited to help clean up one of our favorite community resources and it was the perfect culmination to a lot of what my students learned this

year in school about respecting nature and giving back.” Sixth grader Dillon said, “We’re finding metal, fishing line, fishing poles and lead weights and a lot of other garbage and debris that doesn’t belong in the river,” he told the Dispatch.
