Supply personnel keep firefighters fit to fight Funny River Horse Trail wildfire By RASHAH MCCHESNEY Peninsula Clarion

On a cool, wet morning at a temporary open-air warehouse in Soldotna, Tom Vangs directs warehouseman Scott Johnson as the two stack firehose onto a pallet to be wrapped and shipped back to a firefighting supply warehouse in Alaska. Vangs, a cache demobilization specialist from Ontario, Oregon, is one of several people who run the supply chain that supports firefighter efforts to control the Funny River Horse Trail wildfire — a burn that has consumed more than 193,000 acres of Kenai National wildlife refuge land and threatened several communities along the Sterling Highway and Funny

River Road. Now, as the wet weather continues, warehouse workers are receiving nearly as many supplies as they send out each day and efforts to demobilize the hastily set-up supply ware-

house run alongside continued daily orders from firefighters still working to strengthen fire lines and ensure that the wildfire is under control. Each day, the Alaska InterSee SUPPLY, page A-14

On the issues

In the news Minor eruption at active Alaska volcano C

ANCHORAGE — Authorities at the Alaska Volcano Observatory say elevated surface temperatures suggest the Pavlof Volcano is having a low-level eruption with lava at the surface. They said Saturday that satellite imagery shows a steam plume and a pilot reported a gas and ash plume drifting north about 8,000 feet above sea level. The 8,262-foot volcano is one of the state’s most active volcanoes. It is located about 625 miles southwest of Anchorage. An eruption last year prompted regional airlines to cancel flights to nearby communities.

JUNEAU, Alaska — This year’s U.S. Senate race in Alaska is the first major race here in the super PAC era. Independent expenditure groups, which can raise and spend unlimited amounts of money, and other outside groups are running ads or reserving air time ahead of the Aug. 19 primary. All the campaigns contacted — Democratic U.S. Sen. Mark Begich and Republicans Joe Miller, Dan Sullivan and Mead Treadwell — agreed to participate. The campaigns were asked via email what impact they thought independent spending would have, whether they would refuse backing from outside groups and what they’d do as a senator to address campaign finance laws. Their responses have been edited for length. —Sen. Mark Begich, firstterm incumbent: “Independent, individual Alaska voters will decide our future, not these Outside groups back by billionaires.

US defends captive swap with Taliban, critics stir By LOLITA C. BALDOR and CALVIN WOODWARD Associated Press

WASHINGTON — Five years a captive from the Afghanistan war, Sgt. Bowe Bergdahl is back in American hands,

freed for five Guantanamo terrorism detainees in a swap stirring sharp debate in Washington over whether the U.S. should have negotiated with the Taliban over prisoners. U.S. officials said Sunday that Bergdahl’s health and

safety appeared in jeopardy, prompting rapid action to secure his release. Republicans said the deal could place U.S. troops in danger, especially if the freed detainees return to the fight — one called it “shocking.” Arizona Sen. John McC

Cain said of the five detainees, “These are the hardest of the hard core.” Gen. Joseph Dunford spoke of the excitement that spread through U.S. ranks when the sergeant’s release was confirmed. “You almost got choked

EPA seeks to cut power plant carbon by 30 percent WASHINGTON (AP) — The Obama administration on Monday will roll out a plan to cut earth-warming pollution from power plants and 30 percent by 2030, setting in motion one of the most significant actions to address global warming in U.S. history. The rule, which is expected to be final next year, will set the first national limits on carbon dioxide, the chief gas linked to global warming from the nation’s power plants. They are the largest source of greenhouse gases in the U.S., accounting for about a third of the annual emissions that make the U.S. the second largest contributor to global warming on the planet. The Environmental Protection Agency regulation is a centerpiece of President Barack Obama’s plans to reduce the pollution linked to global warming, a step that the administration hopes will get other countries to act when negotiations on a new international treaty resume next year. Despite concluding in 2009 that greenhouse gases endanger human health and welfare, a finding that triggered their regulation under the 1970 Clean Air Act, it has taken years for the administration to take on the nation’s fleet of power plants. In December 2010, the Obama administration announced a “modest pace” for setting greenhouse gas standards for power plants, setting a May 2012 deadline. Obama put them on the fast track last summer when he announced his climate action plan and a renewed commitment to climate change after the issue went dormant during his reelection campaign. “The purpose of this rule is to really close the loophole on carbon pollution, reduce emissions as we’ve done with lead, arsenic and mercury and improve the health of the AmeriC

can people and unleash a new economic opportunity,” said Frances Beinecke, president of the Natural Resources Defense Council, which has drafted a plan that informed the EPA proposal. Yet the rule carries significant political and legal risks, by further diminishing coal’s role in producing U.S. electricity and offering options for pollution reductions far afield from the power plant, such as increased efficiency. Once the dominant source of energy in the U.S., coal now supplies just under 40 percent of the nation’s electricity, as it has been replaced by booming supplies of natural gas and renewable sources such as wind and solar. “Today’s proposal from the EPA could singlehandedly eliminate this competitive advantage by removing reliable and abundant sources of energy from our nation’s energy mix,” Jay Timmons, president and CEO of the National Association of Manufacturers, said in a statement issued Sunday. EPA data shows that the nation’s power plants have reduced carbon dioxide emissions by nearly 13 percent since 2005, or about halfway to the goal the administration will set Monday. The agency is aiming to have about 26 percent cut by 2020, but states will get some leeway in trying to meet that target. But with coal-fired power plants already beleaguered by cheap natural gas prices and other environmental regulations, experts on Sunday said getting to 30 percent won’t be easy. The EPA is expected to offer a range of options to states to meet targets that will based on where they get their electricity and how much carbon dioxide they emit in the process. While some states will be allowed to emit more and others less, overall the reduction will be 30 percent nationwide.

Philly Inquirer co-owner among seven dead in jet crash By MARYCLAIRE DALE and RODRIQUE NGOWI Associated Press

BEDFORD, Mass. — Philadelphia Inquirer co-owner Lewis Katz was killed along with six other people in a fiery plane crash in Massachusetts, just days after reaching a deal that many hoped would end months of infighting at the newspaper and help restore it to its former glory. The 72-year-old businessman’s Gulfstream corporate jet ran off the end of a runway, plunged down an embankment and erupted in a fireball during a takeoff attempt Saturday night at Hanscom Field outside Boston, authorities said. There were no survivors. Katz was returning to New Jersey from a gathering at the home of Pulitzer Prize-winning historian Doris Kearns Goodwin. Also killed was a next-door neighbor of Katz’s, Anne Leeds, a 74-year-old re-

tired preschool teacher he had invited along, and Marcella Dalsey, the director of Katz’s son’s foundation. The identities of the other victims weren’t immediately released. Nancy Phillips, Katz’s longtime partner and city editor at the Inquirer, was not aboard. Investigators said it was too soon to say what caused the crash. Katz made his fortune investing in parking lots and the New York Yankees’ cable network. He once owned the NBA’s New Jersey Nets and the NHL’s New Jersey Devils and in 2012 became a minority investor in the Inquirer. Last Tuesday, Katz and former cable magnate Harold H.F. “Gerry” Lenfest struck a deal to gain full control of the Inquirer, the Philadelphia Daily News and Philly.com by buying out their fellow owners for $88 million — an agreement that ended a very public

feud over the Inquirer’s business and journalism direction. Lenfest said Sunday that the deal will be delayed but will still go through. “We’ll lose his expertise, but the paper will continue because we both intended to put a new CEO in charge of the day-to-day operations,” Lenfest said. Katz’s son, Drew, will take his father’s seat on the board of directors, Lenfest said. When bidding on the company, Katz and Lenfest vowed to fund in-depth journalism and retain the Inquirer’s Pulitzer-winning editor, Bill Marimow. “It’s going to be a lot of hard work. We’re not kidding ourselves. It’s going to be an enormous undertaking,” Katz said then, noting that advertising and circulation revenues had fallen for years. “Hopefully, (the Inquirer) will get fatter.” The fight over the city’s two major newspapers broke out last year when one of the co-owners, Democratic powerbroker George Norcross, moved to fire Marimow. Katz and Lenfest went to court to keep Marimow, then bought out Norcross and his allies. The Inquirer has changed hands five times in eight years, and like many other newspapers, it has seen a downturn in business that has forced it to cut staff, close bureaus and scale back its ambitions. Three previous owners, including Norcross, said in a statement that they were deeply saddened by Katz’s

death. “Lew’s long-standing commitment to the community and record of strong philanthropy across the region, particularly Camden where he was born and raised, will ensure that his legacy will live on,” they said. The event at Goodwin’s home in Concord, Massachusetts, was held to support an education initiative by Goodwin’s son. Afterward, Katz, Goodwin’s friend of nearly 20 years, joined the author and others at dinner, where they talked about their shared interests, including journalism, Goodwin said. “The last thing he said to me upon leaving for the plane was that most of all what we shared was our love and pride for our children,” she said in a statement. Leeds’ husband, James P. Leeds Sr., town commissioner of Longport, New Jersey, said he received a text message from his wife four minutes before the crash saying they were about to take off. Dalsey’s daughter, Chelsea Dalsey, said her mother was also on the plane, but declined to comment further. Marcella Dalsey was also president of KATZ Academy Charter school, which she founded with Lewis Katz, and is the former owner of an ice cream shop in Haddonfield, New Jersey, a suburb of Philadelphia. The plane was carrying four passengers, two pilots and a cabin attendant, according to the National Transportation Safety Board. NTSB investigator Luke Schiada said a wit-

District botches gun incident

UCSB shooter insane, not sexist

It takes a nearly impenetrable obtuseness to conclude that the most salient thing to know about University of California Santa Barbara killer Elliot Rodger is that he was a white male who didn’t like women. Yet many liberal commentators have managed it in the painful festival of stupidity that has followed his horrific act of mass murder. The reaction has featured rants about sexism, white privilege and Hollywood, all of which are absurdly detached from the reality of what happened at UCSB. It is usually only the details of these sorts of rampage killings that differ, not the central element: a sick young man not getting proper treatment for his severe mental illness. Rodger’s mother had been so frightened by his YouTube videos that she alerted his counselor, and the police visited his apartment. According to The New York Times, Rodger had been prescribed risperidone, an anti-psychotic, but evidently refused to take it. Even without any of that background, it is obvious that Rodger’s final YouTube video and his 140-page manifesto promising to exact vengeance upon the women who spurned him are the ravings of a deranged person; as such, it is the derangement itself, not the content of the ravings, that is most important. Nonetheless, some commentators have plumbed his lunacy for meaning as if they were reading “The Bell Jar.” Washington Post film critic Ann Horna-

There was no shortage of information last week when a Thunder Mountain student took a handgun to school. Sadly, none of that information came from the Juneau School District until long after police intervened and peacefully resolved the matter. Parents of Thunder Mountain High School and Riverbend Elementary students were notified of Thursday’s event via an email around 11:30 a.m., about 45 minutes after the schools’ lockdown ended. They learned what was happening long before then. Every kid with a cell phone started texting mom and dad the moment they realized something was amiss, and from there the information — and misinformation — spread like wildfire. The Empire tried verifying some of the reports, but no one at the school district or high schools was picking up the phone. So, we relied on the texts from scared teens, information relayed from terrified parents and interviews with those on site who would share what they knew to get the message out. The school district failed by not informing parents the moment they knew there was a problem. The delayed reaction exacerbated a potentially lethal situation. Some parents arrived at Thunder Mountain to fetch their kids. That drew TMHS principal Dan Larson outside to tell parents to stay in their cars. Had there been a shooter with the intent to kill, there would have been fresh targets. When a school is on lockdown, parents need to be alerted and told to stay clear of the school until everything is under control. In a real crisis, people would have been placed in harm’s way by the school district’s inaction. The district also did little to quell misinformation. Some false reports included shots fired inside the school, shots fired outside and some even reported the teen with the weapon was holed up inside the high school. The longer bad information is allowed to spread, the harder it is to eliminate. A spokesperson for the school district said officials were waiting for more facts to come out before releasing information. We appreciate their reservation in publishing details too soon, but saying nothing at all allowed parents’ worst nightmares to fester. All the district needed to do was tell parents there was a situation, tell them police were on site, ask that they stay clear of the area until further notice and say more information would be provided as it became available. Parents are upset about the district’s handling of the situation, and rightly so. They have a right to know what’s happening when it concerns the safety of their child. Members of the community who might be impacted have a right to know, as well. The district should consider Thursday’s events a dry run in case a real disaster happens one day. It needs to learn from its “wait and see” approach that only created more confusion and JIM KUHNHENN, fear.Thursday’s situation ended without gunfire, but the ordeal Associated Press shot holes in the district’s policy nonetheless.

Obama prefers to not get sucked into a drama and cede in the heat of the moBy GARRY TRUDEAU ment. He’d rather send in fixers and have the bloodletting occur in due course. Shinseki, however, tendered his resignation at the height of a political clamor for his departure and as revelations of systemic delays in veterans’ patient care mounted daily. Shinseki left even before the review Obama had ordered of the department’s problems was completed. For Obama, there was little doubt that his decision to let Shinseki go was painful. “He is a very good man,” Obama said of the former four-star Army general and Vietnam veteran. “I don’t just mean he’s an accomplished man. I don’t just mean that he’s been an outstanding soldier. He’s a good person who’s done exemplary work on our behalf.” In this crisis, it became clear to the White House that the solution to the problems identified in news accounts and in a damning report from the VA’s inspector general were endemic and would take time to turn around, let alone correct. That’s what set it apart the spectacularly bad launch of healthcare.gov. Kathleen Sebelius stayed on as head of the Department of Health and Human Services until April, seven months after that fumbling start. But that was a website problem caused by poorly designed technology. It was fixable in the short-term and in the end sign-ups exceeded projections. The path for Shinseki’s exit was laid a week ago when Obama told reporters that

day led the way with a piece asserting that it is “clear that his delusions were inflated, if not created, by the entertainment industry he grew up in” (his father works in Hollywood). According to Rich Lowry Hornaday, “a sexist movie monoculture” -- captured by Judd Apatow comedies that often star Seth Rogen -- dangerously misled Rodger into believing that he could always get the girl in the end. It is certainly true that our pop culture is coarse and coarsening. But Judd Apatow movies don’t make people criminally insane. If lovable schlubs like Seth Rogen are partly responsible for Rodger’s rampage, let’s go all the way and blame Jonah Hill, too. Salon ran a piece by Brittney Cooper arguing that “white male privilege kills.” Cooper seems to believe that severe psychiatric disorders are something that rich white kids are prone to because they consider themselves so entitled. The other interpretation is that, as Jessica Valenti put it in a piece for The Guardian, “misogyny kills.” There is no doubt that Rodger hated women. But who watches Rodger’s final video promising to annihilate all of unworthy humanity like a god and thinks: You know what’s wrong with

that guy? The sexism. If only he were cool with women, he would want to spare humanity from his wrath. Nonetheless, the Twitter hashtag #YesAllWomen got started as a rebuke to Rodger’s toxic attitude to women. It cataloged all that women suffer from sexism. I don’t doubt that it’s hurtful, to sample some of the tweets, to be a female shark biologist told that the public isn’t ready to see you on camera, or to go to a school where a visible bra strap violates the dress code but a “Cool story, babe, now make me a sandwich” T-shirt doesn’t. It just has nothing to do with Elliot Rodger’s condition or his crime. The reaction to the UCSB killings is sadly typical. Our political and media culture has proven impervious to serious discussion of severe mental illness and how it is treated in this country, despite repeated, heartbreaking occasions for it. Usually, the diversion is gun control. Since Rodger stabbed his first victims, and didn’t use an “assault rifle” but a handgun to kill the rest, the gun debate didn’t take off. Instead, another hobbyhorse took up all the space. Rep. Tim Murphy, a Pennsylvania Republican, actually has a proposal to make it easier to treat the severely mentally ill. Alas, his bill won’t get a viral Twitter campaign because it focuses on the real problem rather than exploiting the latest horror for cheap ideological points.

Shinseki exit breaks Obama’s crisis mold

Doonesbury

if Shinseki “does not think he can do a good job on this and if he thinks he has let our veterans down, then I’m sure that he is not going to be interested in continuing to serve.” On Wednesday, White House chief of staff Denis McDonough notified Obama of the scathing inspector general’s report as Obama flew back on Air Force One from West Point, New York, where he had just delivered a foreign policy address. The VA inspector general’s report and a preliminary review by Shinseki himself depicted the problems as widespread. The inspector general’s report offered another troubling observation: The issues went back nearly a decade, before Obama’s presidency. That’s hardly a comfort for Obama and his beleaguered White House. Obama served on the Senate Veterans’ Affairs Committee that reviewed those inspector general studies. He ran for president in 2008 with a promise to improve the delivery of benefits for veterans. His wife has made helping veterans and their families a priority. Last week, Obama called the care of veterans “one of the causes of my presidency.” What’s more, as Obama brings more than a decade of wars to an end, he has made a point of telling returning soldiers that they deserve the care and benefits of a grateful nation. Those returning servicemen and women, many with physical or mental wounds, have put additional strains on the VA’s health care system. The inspector general, examining the troubled VA health care system in Phoenix, found that about 1,700 veterans in need of care were “at risk of being lost or forgotten” after being kept off an official waiting list. That came after allegations that as many as 40 veterans may have died while awaiting care at the agency’s Phoenix facilities. For a president who lists veterans as a

priority, that suggests a massive failure. Beyond that, the crisis draws attention to another Obama priority — health care. It raises further doubts about the government’s ability to deliver on the president’s principal legislative achievement. Shinseki’s exit hardly resolves those lingering problems. But it does let the White House, for the moment, turn a page, manage a crisis and quiet an election-year din.

Father-son team carve totem pole on display By MELISSA GRIFFITHS MORRIS NEWS SERVICE- ALASKA JUNEAU EMPIRE

Both fine art and performance art, the carving of a totem pole by father-son duo Doug and Michael Chilton, punctuated by jokes and laughter, is drawing in visitors at the Goldbelt Mount Roberts Tramway. The charismatic pair of Tlingit artists is working on one of four totem poles that will stand in the Timberline Restaurant once it is remodeled. They will complete the final pole next summer, also to be carved on display at the entrance to the tramway’s gift shop. The 10-foot 6-inch western red cedar log was harvested on Prince of Wales Island near Kasaan and was hand-chosen for the project, mainly for its size. There are plenty of carvers working on larger projects who could use the larger, less knotty logs, and Doug said they’re not afraid of knots.The younger Chilton, at only 23, has been carving with his father for 13 years and has worked on 17 poles. Doug apprenticed under Tlingit carver Ray Peck in 1979 and counts wood carving as his real love, though he also works with precious metals, ivory and soapstone. The love the Chiltons have for their work is visible — and possibly magnified — as they carve in full view of the endless stream of visitors at the tramway’s Mountain House. “Honestly, that’s half the fun of doing this on location, being able to share our culture and our history with visitors,” Doug said after an exchange with an elderly man from Scotland. “They come from all over the world ... and it’s fun no matter where they come from.” Many people get their first introduction to Tlingit culture visiting Juneau, and seeing traditional carving in action sticks

with them. Doug described an older couple passing through with their children and grandchildren, stopping with the intention of watching the fatherson duo work. “The grandkids got to come in and try working on the pole. It made a big impact on them as far as how they were viewing their vacation,” Doug said. “They seemed pretty happy after that. The grandfather came back and said we made the

whole trip for their grandkids, and that’s always fun to hear.” Some visitors seem apprehensive when Doug or Michael offer to put a tool in their hands, others jump at the opportunity. Doug snags a camera as Michael demonstrates how to hold the home-made skew chisel — feet square, pointing in the direction he pushes the tool in, using short strokes. Many visitors walk away with a grin and a curl of cedar wood, as well as some

photos capturing the memory. “It helps them relax,” Michael said of the hands-on experience. “They spend their whole trip visiting places, seeing things they’re not allowed to touch, so we’ve had so many people already come by, get their hands on and say, ‘This is probably by far the best part of my trip.’” The Chiltons manage to make the experience accessible to any who pause to show inter-

est. Michael described helping people who weren’t physically capable of handling the tools as the Chiltons do to grip the tool in one hand. “You put the tool in their hand and they’re just, one hand whittling away at it, and they’re glowing like they’d not done anything like it ever,” he said. It’s a great opportunity for anyone to get a hands-on experience he said, but suggested not waiting too long. Once they

get further with the carving and each cut or shave is higher stakes, they’ll no longer hand off the tools to passersby. The project should be worth watching well past the cutoff point for hands-on participation from visitors, in part because of the passion with which the father-son duo share their art. “It’s a father-son thing, we just wanna have fun,” Michael said. “And it’s even more fun sharing.”

Official: Recovering fallen climbers too dangerous By RACHEL LA CORTE Associated Press

MOUNT RAINIER NATIONAL PARK, Wash. — It’s too dangerous right now to search for the bodies of six climbers who likely plummeted to their deaths while attempting one of the more technical and physically grueling routes to the peak of Mount Rainier in Washington state, park officials said Sunday. Like others who have died on the mountain, there’s a possibility the two guides and four climbers believed to have fallen 3,300 feet from their last known location may never be found, they say. “People are very understanding that we cannot risk another life at this point,” Patti Wold, a Mount Rainier National Park spokeswoman, said Sunday. Under safer conditions, crews could go in after the bodies. “The families, I’m sure, would like that closure,” Wold said. But continuous falling ice and rock make the avalanche-prone area too dangerous for rescuers, she said. The climbers were last heard

from at 6 p.m. Wednesday when the guides checked in with their Seattle-based company, Alpine Ascents International, by satellite phone. The group failed to return Friday as planned. They are presumed dead in one of the worst alpine accidents on Rainier since 1981, when 11 people were struck and killed by a massive ice fall on the Ingraham Glacier. Family and friends of the dead climbers arrived at the mountain Sunday to meet with park officials, but declined to speak with media that had gathered at the park’s headquarters. “They’re just devastated,” Wold said. It’s unclear whether the climbers were moving or camping at the time of the accident, Wold said. Searchers located camping and climbing gear and detected signals from avalanche beacons buried in the snow at the top of the Carbon Glacier at 9,500 feet in elevation. It’s also not known what caused the climbers to fall from their last known whereabouts at 12,800 feet on Liberty Ridge, whether it was rock fall or an avalanche.

Glenn Kessler, the park’s acting aviation manager, said “they are most likely buried,” making recovery efforts even more challenging. They may be in an area too hazardous for rescuers to reach on the ground. The area will be checked periodically by air in the coming weeks and months, Wold said. They will also evaluate the potential for a helicopter-based recovery as snow melts and conditions change. Wold initially said that the park on Sunday would release the names of the six who died but later said the park cannot release the names for privacy reasons. Rob Mahaney told The Associated Press that his 26-yearold nephew, Mark Mahaney, of St. Paul, Minnesota, was among those presumed dead. He said the climber’s father and brother flew to Seattle on Saturday after learning what happened. Mahaney said his nephew had climbed Rainier before. “He just loved to climb, he loved the outdoors, he loved the exhilaration of being in the wide open,” Rob Mahaney said. “Even as a toddler he was al-

ways climbing out of his crib. His parents couldn’t keep him anywhere — he’d always find a way to get out of anything.” Last year, about 10,800 people attempted to climb the 14,410-foot glaciated peak southeast of Seattle, but only 129 used the Liberty Ridge route, according to park statistics. The vast majority use two other popular routes. Gordon Janow, director of programs for Alpine Ascents International, said the group was on a five-day climb of the Liberty Ridge route. The climbers had to meet certain prerequisites, and their ice and technical climbing skills as well as their biography were evaluated by a three-person team, Janow said. The company’s brochure says, at a minimum, those interested in the guided climb were required to be able to physically carry a 50-pound backpack on steep snow and icy slopes, ranging from 30 to 50 degrees in slope. The guiding service lost five Nepalese guides in a deadly avalanche on Mount Everest in April that killed 16 Sherpa guides.

Rare ‘mono mono’ twins could be home within weeks By DAN SEWELL Associated Press

CINCINNATI — An Ohio couple is getting a taste of what it’s like to be celebrity parents. The identical twins, born sharing the same amniotic sac and placenta, are making progress toward going home from the hospital, their parents say. A photo showing twins Jenna and Jillian holding hands taken shortly after birth May 9 at Akron General Medical Center went viral. “It’s still been crazy,” father Bill Thistlethwaite said. “Every-

where we go, someone saw it. People are still talking about it.” He said he and his wife, Sarah, were approached by people Saturday while having breakfast at a diner in their hometown of Orrville before going to visit the girls. They want to know how the twins are doing and express their good wishes, he said. Both girls are taking full bottles and have gained weight, each now at 5 pounds or more. Their rare birth condition is called monoamniotic, or “mono mono,” and doctors say they occur in about one of every 10,000 pregnancies. A second pair born

at Akron General the following week also are doing well, hospital spokeswoman Amy Kilgore said. Jenna was born first at 4 pounds, 2 ounces and 17 inches, with Jillian following 48 seconds later at 3 pounds, 13 ounces and 17.5 inches. They were born at 33 weeks and two days to their 32-year-old mother, a middle school math teacher. They were moved to Akron Children’s Hospital after birth because they needed breathing assistance. If they continue to hit feeding milestones, they are on track to

be home in another week or two, just before Father’s Day. Thistlethwaite said he’s been scrambling to finish painting their bedroom pink. Their 16-month-old son, Jaxon, has visited the girls and kissed them on the cheeks, his father said. Thistlethwaite has daydreamed about the time, years in the future, when he and his wife will show the girls their famous baby photo. “I already feel like they’re going to be best friends,” he said. “They’ll probably look at it and say, ‘That makes sense because that’s how we are.’”

Around the Nation US defends prisoner swap with Taliban as Army sergeant and Gitmo detainees freed WASHINGTON — Five years a captive from the Afghanistan war, Sgt. Bowe Bergdahl is back in American hands, freed for five Guantanamo terrorism detainees in a swap stirring sharp debate in Washington over whether the U.S. should have negotiated with the Taliban over prisoners. U.S. officials said Sunday that Bergdahl’s health and safety appeared in jeopardy, prompting rapid action to secure his release. Republicans said the deal could place U.S. troops in danger, especially if the freed detainees return to the fight — one called it “shocking.” Arizona Sen. John McCain said of the five detainees, “These are the hardest of the hard core.” Visiting troops in Afghanistan, Defense Secretary Chuck Hagel stepped forward at Bagram Air Field to thank the special operations forces who retrieved Bergdahl, who officials said was the only American prisoner of war still held by insurgents in that conflict. Gen. Joseph Dunford spoke of the excitement that spread through U.S. ranks when the sergeant’s release was confirmed. “You almost got choked up,” he said. “It was pretty extraordinary.”

Some states move to blunt impact of Obama’s emission standards for power plants JEFFERSON CITY, Mo. — As President Barack Obama prepares to announce tougher new air quality standards, lawmakers in several states already are trying to blunt the impact on aging coal-fired power plants that feed electricity to millions of consumers. The push against Obama’s new carbon emission standards has been strongest in some states that have large coalmining industries or rely heavily on coal to fuel their electricity. State officials say the new federal regulations could jeopardize the jobs of thousands of workers and drive up the monthly electric bills of residents and businesses. It remains to be seen whether new measures passed by the states will amount to mere political symbolism or actually temper what’s expected to be an aggressive federal effort to reduce the country’s reliance on coal. But either way, states likely will play a pivotal role, because federal clean air laws leave it up to each state to come up its own plan for complying with the emission guidelines. The proposed Environmental Protection Agency rules to be announced Monday could be the first to apply to carbon dioxide emissions at existing power plants. Coal is the most common fuel source for the nation’s electricity and, when it’s burned, is a leading source of the greenhouse gasses that trap heat in the atmosphere and contribute to climate change. Without waiting to see what Obama proposes, governors in Kansas, Kentucky, Virginia and West Virginia have signed laws directing their environmental agencies to develop their own carbon emission plans that consider the costs of compliance at individual power plants. Similar measures recently passed in Missouri and are pending in the Louisiana and Ohio legislatures. – The Associated Press

Suspect in Jewish museum killings went to Syria By JOHN-THOR DAHLBURG Associated Press

PARIS — A suspected French jihadist who spent time in Syria has been arrested over the shooting deaths of three people at a Belgian Jewish museum, prosecutors said Sunday, crystalizing fears that European radicals will parlay their experiences in Syria into terrorism back home. When Mehdi Nemmouche was arrested in southern France on Friday, he was in possession of firearms, a large quantity of ammunition and a video claiming responsibility for the May 24 attack at the Jewish Museum in Brussels, a Belgian prosecutor said. In a one-minute rampage that deeply shook Europe’s Jewish community, a gunman opened fire at the Brussels museum. In addition to the fatalities, another person was gravely wounded. Authorities raised anti-terror alert levels as they searched for the attacker. But it was ultimately a customs inspection in the French port city of Marseille that turned up Nemmouche, as he disembarked from a bus coming from Amsterdam, Paris prosecutor Francois Molins said. The suspect had a revolver and a retractable automatic weapon like those used in the Brussels attack, and ballistics analyses were underway to determine if they were the same weapons, Molins said.

At least one of the weapons was wrapped up in a white sheet scrawled with the name of the Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant, an extremist group fighting in Syria, Molins said. The group has also waged attacks in Iraq. Nemmouche, a French-born 29-year-old from the northern city of Roubaix, had a criminal record, with seven convictions for crimes like attempted robbery — but nothing related to terrorism, Molins said. He said the suspect became radicalized in prison, and left for Syria just three weeks after his last prison stay in late 2012, going to Syria via Brussels, London and Istanbul. He said the suspect had spent about a year in Syria, though it is unclear why he went and what he did while there. A video found in the suspect’s possession shows weapons and clothes akin to the gunman’s, and includes a voice claiming responsibility for the “attack in Brussels against Jews,” Belgian federal prosecutor Frederic Van Leeuw said. He said it wasn’t certain whether the voice was that of the suspect. The narrator says he tried to film the killings on May 24 live, but that his camera failed, Van Leeuw said. When apprehended, the suspect had a GoPro camera in his possession, the Belgian prosecutor said. Belgian police carried out raids in the Courtrai region of Belgium on Sunday morning, where the suspect is believed to

have spent time, and were questioning two people there, Van Leeuw said. The suspect has been handed to anti-terrorist investigators and could be held at least through Tuesday under French counterterrorism law. “The new elements in this investigation draw attention once more to the problem of the ‘returnees’ —in other words the people going to Syria to participate in combat and return afterward to our country,” Van Leeuw said. Interior ministers from around the European Union are expected to focus on better ways to stem Syria-related violence when they meet in Brussels on Thursday. French Interior Minister Bernard Cazeneuve called Sunday for better international coordination on the issue. His Belgian counterpart, Joelle Milquet, called the returnees “a generalized problem for all of Europe.” The Brussels killings, which came on the eve of European Parliament elections in which far right parties had a strong showing, led Belgian officials to boost their anti-terror measures, and raised fears of rising anti-Semitism. Two Israeli tourists and a French citizen were killed in the museum attack, and a fourth victim remains hospitalized hovering between life and death, the Belgian prosecutor said Sunday. The European Jewish Congress welcomed the arrest and urged European authorities to act faster and more aggressively to

prevent such crimes. The suspect has said nothing to investigators so far during his interrogations, Molins said. Nemmouche’s former lawyer, Soulifa Badaoui, described him on BFM television as someone “in difficulty” who went from foster home to foster home and often lived in vehicles. She said he was an intelligent person with serious family problems. The attack and the arrest highlight the challenge for European authorities in tracking homegrown extremists, often alienated youths from immigrant backgrounds with few job prospects, when they travel to and from Syria. French President Francois Hollande promised Sunday to “fight” homegrown radicals who come home from Syria with violent plans. France has western Europe’s largest Muslim population, and while it is overwhelmingly moderate, authorities say several hundred French people have left to join Islamic radicals fighting against Syrian President Bashar Assad’s army. The French government recently introduced measures to try to stop disaffected youth from leaving in the first place, and better track those who go to Syria and come back. “The whole government is mobilized to follow the jihadists, and prevent them from being able to cause harm” especially when they come home to France

Suspects confess in rape, slaying of 2 India teens By BISWAJEET BANERJEE Associated Press

LUCKNOW, India — Three men have confessed to the gang rape and slaying of two teenage girls who were found hanging from a tree in northern India, police said Sunday, in a case that has recast a light on rampant sexual violence in the country. Authorities continued to search for two additional suspects in last week’s attack on the 14- and 15-year-old cousins in Uttar Pradesh state, police officer Atul Saxena said. The girls, from an impoverished family with no toilets in their home in the tiny village of Katra, about 300 kilometers (180 miles) from Lucknow, the state capital, disappeared Tuesday night after going into fields to relieve themselves. After the girls were found hanging from a mango tree on Wednesday, hundreds of angry villagers stayed next to the tree, demanding that police find the attackers before allowing them to remove the bodies. Indian television stations showed footage of the villagers sitting under the girls’ bodies as they swung in the wind. Police arrested two suspects on Wednesday and another on Saturday. When questioned by police, the men admitted they had attacked the girls, Saxena said. The suspects, who are cousins in their 20s from an extended family, face murder and rape charges, crimes punishable by the death penalty. Saxena said police were preparing identity sketches of the two missing suspects based on descriptions provided by the three men who were arrested. Authorities also have arrested two police officers and suspended two others for failing to investigate when the father of one of the teenagers reported the girls missing Tuesday night. Federal authorities are expected to take over investigation into the case this week, Saxena said. India has a long history of tolerance for sexual violence, but the attack on the girls has caused outrage across the nation, and is reminiscent of the reaction to the December 2012 fatal gang rape of a 23-year-old woman aboard a moving bus in New Delhi, India’s capital. The nationwide outcry following that attack led the federal government to rush legislation doubling prison terms for rapists to 20 years and criminalizing voyeurism, stalking and the trafficking of women. The law also makes it a crime for officers to

refuse to open cases when complaints are made. Health workers, police and women’s rights activists say women and girls in India face the risk of rape and harassment when they go out into fields or bushes due to the lack of toilets in their homes. More than a half billion Indians lack access to toilets. A recent study said around 30 percent of

women from poor families faced violent sexual assaults every year because they did not have access to a safe toilet. Bindeshwar Pathak, a wellknown sanitation and hygiene expert, said Sunday that his New Delhi-based social service organization, Sulabh International, would pay for toilets to be installed in all 108 homes in Katra, the girls’ village.

Also in Uttar Pradesh state, police on Sunday arrested two people for setting a 16-year-old girl on fire after sprinkling kerosene on her following a land dispute with her father in Kaptanganj, about 200 kilometers (125 miles) southeast of Lucknow. The girl was hospitalized with burns over a quarter of her body, said Mukul Goel, an inspectorgeneral of police.

or elsewhere in Europe, Hollande said on an official visit to Normandy. The attack and the arrest revived memories of Mohamed Merah, a Frenchman who trained with extremists in Afghanistan and Pakistan, and then attacked a Jewish school and French paratroopers in southern France in

2012. He killed seven people, including three children in an attack he captured on camera, before dying in a shootout with police. Those killings rocked France, prompting tougher antiterrorism measures aimed at better tracking French citizens who pursue extremism abroad.

Israel PM wants Palestinian government isolated JERUSALEM — (AP) Israel’s prime minister on Sunday urged the world to shun the emerging Palestinian unity government due to its ties to the Hamas militant group, rejecting Palestinian pledges that it will be a government of technocrats that will accept peace agreements with Israel and eschew violence. The comments by Benjamin Netanyahu set the stage for what is likely to be a tough battle for international opinion in the coming weeks. While Israel has made clear it will reject the new government, the reactions of the European Union and United States, which send the Palestinians hundreds of millions of dollars in aid each year, will be critical in determining whether it can survive and whether Israel will be forced to deal with it. Addressing his Cabinet Sunday, Netanyahu said the Palestinian government will “strengthen terrorism.” “Hamas is a terrorist organization that calls for the destruction of Israel and the international community must not embrace it,” he said. Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas said over the weekend that he formally will present the new government on Monday, a move meant to end a seven-year rift between his Fatah movement and Hamas.

Kings finish Blackhawks JAY COHEN AP Sports Writer

CHICAGO — Alec Martinez scored at 5:47 of overtime, and the Los Angeles Kings beat the Chicago Blackhawks 5-4 in Game 7 of the Western Conference finals Sunday night. Martinez’s shot went off Blackhawks defenseman Nick Leddy and over goalie Corey Crawford, stunning the sellout crowd at the United Center and leading to a wild on-ice celebration for Los Angeles. Leddy was disconsolate as the Kings gathered in a big huddle along the boards. Los Angeles improved to 7-0 in elimination games with its third Game 7 win on the road this postseason. It will host the New York Rangers in Game 1 of the Stanley Cup finals on Wednesday night. “We never say die ... someone described us as a bunch of cockroaches that don’t go away,” Martinez said. Justin Williams and Tyler Toffoli each had a goal and an assist for the Kings, who once held a 3-1 lead in the series, only to have the defending champion Blackhawks come back to force Game 7. Jeff Carter scored his ninth playoff goal in the first, and Marian Gaborik had the tying goal midway through the third period. Patrick Sharp scored two goals for the Blackhawks, who blew a 2-0 lead. Brandon Saad had a goal and an assist, and Patrick Kane had two more assists. Chicago’s loss means Detroit remains the last NHL team to win consecutive titles in 1997 and 1998. The Kings also got 37 saves from Jonathan Quick in another resilient performance for Darryl Sutter’s team. Los Angeles trailed San Jose 3-0 in its firstround series and was down 3-2 to top-seeded Anaheim in the second round before rallying each time. Gaborik, Williams and Mike Richards each improved to 7-0

in Game 7s. Sutter moved to 7-3 in such games, breaking a tie with Blackhawks adviser Scotty Bowman and Pat Burns for the NHL record for most coaching wins in Game 7s. Sharp sent a big power-play drive past Quick to give the Blackhawks a 4-3 lead at 18:25 of the second. Sharp, who has been mostly quiet this postseason, celebrated the tiebreaking goal with a big fist pump and scream as his teammates rushed in to congratulate him. The Blackhawks held onto that slim lead all the way to 7:17 of the third, when Gaborik swept in a rebound on the break for his NHL-best 12th playoff goal, sparking a celebration on the Kings’ bench and setting the stage for a frantic finish to regulation. Quick turned away prime opportunities for Sharp and Bryan Bickell before he made a terrific save on Andrew Shaw in the final seconds. Dustin Brown had a great rush to the net for Los Angeles that he nearly completed for a breathtaking score. Jonathan Toews also scored for the Blackhawks, and Crawford finished with 27 saves. The finale of the epic series between the last two Stanley Cup winners attracted a frenzied crowd of 22,315 that included NBA Hall of Famer Charles Barkley and Bears wide receiver Brandon Marshall. And they were treated to another heart-stopping classic full of big shots and great saves by each side. Just like in Game 5, a 5-4 double-overtime victory for Chicago, the Blackhawks got off to a fast start, only to have the Kings come storming back. Kane picked up an assist on each of the first two goals, finding Saad with a slick pass from behind the net, and then getting to the right place at the right time for a lucky power-play carom that went right to Toews for an easy tap-in at 8:36 of the first.

Johnson still King of Dover DAN GELSTON AP Sports Writer

DOVER, Del. — Jimmie Johnson handled the pothole at Dover the same way he disposed of a rough patch to start the season. He won. A week after shaking off a lengthy winless streak by his championship standards, Johnson raced his way to another routine romp at Dover International Speedway. He followed last week’s victory in the Coca-Cola 600 with another sensational run at Dover, extending his track victory record to nine. Johnson was the class of the field in a race red-flagged for 22 minutes to repair a pothole in the concrete track. “Whatever they put in the pothole, it worked awfully well,” Johnson said. His No. 48 Chevrolet was even better. Johnson led 272 of 400 laps, and won consecutive races for the 13th time. The six-time Cup champion swept Dover in 2002 and 2009 and won races in 2005, 2010, 2012 and 2013. Brad Keselowski was second, followed by Matt Kenseth, Clint Bowyer and Denny Hamlin. “For sure, when you come to Dover, it’s always the 48,” Kenseth said. “We’ve got to figure out how to get ahead of him.” Good luck. Johnson’s checkered flag celebrations at Dover have seemingly become a rite of the NASCAR season. He became Dover’s career leader in laps led when he hit the 2,802 mark, and again stamped himself as contender for a series-tying seventh

championship. “It’s amazing that we can stay on top of things here with the different generation car, different rules, different tires,” Johnson said. “This place just fits my style and (crew chief) Chad Knaus’ style.” His lone regret, that owner Rick Hendrick was not at the track. Johnson is heating up right as the NASCAR heads into its summer schedule. Up next, Pocono, where Johnson won last season and has two other wins. “We can get on a roll,” he said. “We’ve got some good tracks ahead of us.” Johnson had some wondering what was wrong after an 0 for 11 start to the season. Turned out, it was nothing racing at some of his favorite tracks couldn’t fix. But Johnson also revealed he had surgery to repair three hernias at the end of last season, which cost the No. 48 team testing time. “We felt like it was time to shut things down and let the team kind of recoup,” he said. Johnson never left any doubt his No. 48 Chevrolet was the car to beat, the only drama coming when the race was stopped 160 laps into the race after Ryan Newman’s car pulled up chunks of the track that kicked back and damaged Jamie McMurray’s car. The race was soon stopped and crews weren’t allowed to work on the cars. McMurray’s plea for an exception was denied. “It killed the front-end,” he said. “Our guys did a really good job recovering here putting all the stuff on and we salvaged what we could.”

US soccer takes down Turkey 2-1 HARRISON, N.J. (AP) — The combinations started to click. The confidence grew a little bit. Goals by Fabian Johnson and Clint Dempsey led the United States over Turkey 2-1 Sunday for the Americans’ second straight win in their World Cup sendoff series. Getting ready for their World Cup openC

er against Ghana on June 16, the Americans move on to Florida for next weekend’s stateside finale against Nigeria knowing preparation is far from complete. “It’s important not to overanalyze these games,” said midfielder Michael Bradley, who set up the first goal with a gorgeous chip. “There’s a World Cup coming up and everybody wants to now look at every play

Sports Briefs Matsuyama wins Memorial in playoff DUBLIN, Ohio — With every swing, Hideki Matsuyama appeared to join a cast of top players throwing away a chance to win the Memorial. A tee shot in the water on the 16th for double bogey. An approach over the back of the green on the 17th that led to bogey. And then a drive to the right that made the Japanese star so disgusted that he lightly slammed his club into the turf, and the head of the driver broke off. The ball hit a tree and took one last bounce back into the fairway, and Matsuyama seized on the break. He took dead aim with a 7-iron to just outside 5 feet for birdie on the 18th hole to force a playoff with Kevin Na, and then won for the first time in America with a 10-foot par putt on the first extra hole. “Right from the 15th hole, I had a lot of missed shots,” Matsuyama said. “The double bogey at 16, bogey at 17, not a real good tee shot — I thought — at 18. But when I saw the ball on the fairway on the 18th hole there, that’s when I was able to think I still have a chance.” The 22-year-old Matsuyama earned validation as one of the game’s bright young stars Sunday by closing with a 3-under 69 and making two clutch putts on the 18th hole for his sixth career victory, the previous five on the Japan Golf Tour. This was his first win against a field of the world’s top players. “I just think you’ve just seen the start of what’s going to be truly one of your world’s great players over the next 10 to 15 years,” tournament host Jack Nicklaus said.

Federer ousted in Paris PARIS — Everything appeared to be under control for Roger Federer, just like in the old days at Grand Slam tournaments. And then, suddenly, it wasn’t. One point from a two-set lead Sunday in the French Open’s fourth round against 18th-seeded Ernests Gulbis of Latvia, Federer settled under a floating ball and prepared for what should have been a simple putaway. Except, suddenly, it wasn’t. Federer sent a meek overhead toward Gulbis, who took advantage of the gaffe, ripping a backhand winner. That was part of a four-point run that let Gulbis break serve and get very much back into the match, which he wound up winning 6-7 (5), 7-6 (3), 6-2, 4-6, 6-3 to end Federer’s streak of nine consecutive quarterfinals at Roland Garros. “A lot of regrets,” Federer said. “I just couldn’t kind of figure it out.” It also served as the latest reminder that Federer, now 32 and a father of four, is no longer the nearly infallible force who made it to the closing days of major after major. “He’s Roger Federer,” Gulbis said, “but he also gets tight.” Didn’t used to be the case. Federer, a 17-time Grand Slam champion, had not left Roland Garros so soon since 2004, when he was beaten in the third round by Gustavo Kuerten. After that decade-old setback, though, Federer was a quarterfinalist at a record 36 consecutive major tournaments, a streak that ended with a second-round loss at Wimbledon last year. Federer also put together record Slam runs of 10 finals and 23 semifinals in a row. Now he’s bowed out before the quarterfinals at three of the last four majors. “I think it was the biggest, probably, win of my career,” said Gulbis, who most certainly could have dispensed with the word “probably.” Addressing spectators who sang Federer’s first name between points as a sign of support, Gulbis said: “I’m sorry I had to win. I know all of you like Roger.” The result fit with the topsy-turvy nature of this tournament: Both reigning Australian Open champions, No. 3 Stan Wawrinka and No. 2 Li Na, lost in the first round; No. 1 Serena Williams left in the second round. — The Associated Press C

WHITE SOX 4, PADRES 1

BOSTON — Jon Lester pitched seven shutout innings and Brock Holt drove in two runs with one of his four doubles to lift the Red Sox to their seventh straight win, completing a three-game sweep over the reeling Rays. Boston’s streak follows a 10game skid, its longest in 20 years. The Red Sox said that matches a major league record for consecutive wins after a double-digit losing stretch, according to research by the Elias Sports Bureau. The 1989 Detroit Tigers did it after losing 12 in a row, and the 1942 Pittsburgh Pirates also did it after dropping 10 straight.

CHICAGO — Chris Sale pitched a two-hitter, Paul Konerko homered and the White Sox defeated the Padres. Sale (5-0) struck out nine, walked none and threw 100 pitches. He froze Everth Cabrera for a called strike three to end the game, lowering his ERA to 1.59 ERA in seven starts. Sale has allowed just one earned run in his last 25 innings, a span of four starts. The lefty was on the disabled list in late April because of a strained muscle in his pitching arm.

The Braves pulled off the sweep after losing four consecutive games to Boston. Miami, which began the series tied with Atlanta atop the NL East, fell three games back.

REDS 4, DIAMONDBACKS 3

PHILADELPHIA — Lucas Duda hit a two-run homer with two outs in the 11th, lifting the Mets over the Phillies in the third straight extra-innings game between the teams. The Mets and Phillies split a pair of 14-inning games the previous two days. Duda came off the bench in the 10th to play first base, then connected in the 11th as the Mets won for the fifth time in six games. The teams conclude their rare fivegame series on Monday night. Ryan Howard hit an early tworun homer for the Phillies. Marlon Byrd hit a solo shot in the 11th. Josh Edgin (1-0) struck out the side in the 10th. Jenrry Mejia held on for his sixth save in six chances.

PHOENIX — Chris Heisey hit a go-ahead homer in the fifth inning and the Cincinnati Reds connected four times in all, beating Arizona to take three of four from the Diamondbacks. Cincinnati led 3-0 after homers by Zack Cozart and Todd Frazier in the third and by Ryan Ludwick in the fourth. Arizona tied it with a three-run fourth, then Heisey’s second home run of the season put the Reds on top for good.

PIRATES 5, DODGERS 3 LOS ANGELES — Slumping Andrew McCutchen hit his first home run in over a month, doubled twice and scored two runs to help the Pirates beat the Dodgers and take three of four from the defending NL West champions. Josh Harrison also homered and Pedro Alvarez drove in three runs, helping the Pirates win for the eighth time in 12 games.

BREWERS 9, CUBS 0 MILWAUKEE — Kyle Lohse allowed only three hits and Ryan Braun had a two-run homer to lead the Brewers to a rout of the Cubs. Milwaukee pounded Cubs ace Jeff Samardzija (1-5) for eight earned runs in three innings, raising his ERA from 1.68 to 2.54. Braun homered to left on the first pitch he saw from Samardzija, and the Brewers rolled from there with Samardzija having trouble locating his fastball. Lyle Overbay broke the game open with a threerun double in the third.

BRAVES 4, MARLINS 2 MIAMI — Evan Gattis broke a ninth-inning tie with a two-run homer, and the Braves completed a three-game sweep by beating the Marlins. Shae Simmons, pitching in his second big league game, earned his first career save when he retired Christian Yelich with two on for the final out. Closer Craig Kimbrel was given the day off because of a heavy recent workload.

METS 4, PHILLIES 3

GIANTS 8, CARDINALS 0 ST. LOUIS — Tim Hudson threw seven shutout innings and Joaquin Arias keyed a four-run first inning with a two-run single to lead the Giants to a win over the Cardinals. The Giants have won five of six and have the best record in the NL at 37-20. St. Louis has lost four of five. The Cardinals managed just four hits. Hudson (6-2) gave up three hits, struck out six, and walked two in improving to 4-4 against St. Louis. Hudson’s previous win against the Cardinals came on July 19, 2007, as a member of the Atlanta Braves. He retired the last 11 batters he faced.

RANGERS 2, NATIONALS 0 WASHINGTON — Yu Darvish struck out 12 over eight innings, Leonys Martin broke open a scoreless duel with a homer in the seventh and the Rangers beat the Nationals to avert a three-game sweep. Pitching for the first time since May 22 after missing his last turn with a stiff neck, Darvish (5-2) gave up five hits and walked two in dropping his ERA to 2.08. The right-hander matched his season high in strikeouts and overpowered a team that amassed 19 runs in the first two games of the series.

Crossword

Wife has much to consider before agreeing to surrogacy be allowed in the state in which you reside. You, together with your brother and sister-in-law, should also discuss with a mental health professional the emotional issues that may arise — such as everyone’s expectations about what will happen when the baby arrives, what might happen if there is a death, a divorce, a move, and Abigail Van Buren what your role would be — whether you will be the birth mother or a legal aunt, etc. All of this should be clarified if your sister-in-law asks you to be her surrogate. DEAR ABBY: I recently retired for the second time. At 70, I applied for a job online, was interviewed by a company and hired. I could hardly believe it. Three years later, I was having a medical problem, so I thought it best to retire again if I couldn’t do the work I was hired to do. After a month of rest I feel fine now. My husband thinks I was overworked. I want to get another job.

Abby, why do I feel the need to still work? Most of my friends tell me to enjoy life, sit back and relax, but my work defined me and I loved it. Shouldn’t I try working again if my health continues to improve? — NOSE TO THE GRINDSTONE IN GEORGIA DEAR NOSE TO THE GRINDSTONE: Not everyone is happy in retirement. Some people need the routine of work and the stimulation of being around other people. Also, not everyone ages at the same rate. However, it’s important to listen to your body and pace yourself. There’s a saying, “You can fool Mother Nature, but you can’t fool Father Time.” If your last job drained you to the point of illness, choose something that is less taxing (either full-time or part-time). You’ll enjoy your life and last longer if you do. DEAR ABBY: I am a Brit, now living in the U.S. When, upon departing, someone says, “Have a good one!” what is the correct response? — PUZZLED IN PENNSYLVANIA DEAR PUZZLED: Some people respond, “Thanks, the same to you.” Others have been known to say, “Thanks, I’m already having one!”

home. GEMINI (May 21-June 20) HHHH Count on your intuition to take the lead should you become insecure when dealing with one of the many people you count on. Just listen to your inner voice, and you will be fine. A child or loved one will express caring toward you. Tonight: Hang with a friend or two. CANCER (June 21-July 22) HHHH Stay on top of your finances. A mistake made right now could be rather costly. You also might need to get several estimates before doing some work on your home. Don’t just assume that the cheapest way is to do it yourself. Tonight: Stay close to home. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) HHHHH You’ll feel empowered and ready to tackle any task that might appear. A situation with a boss could demand extra time and attention. This person likes to demonstrate how much power he or she has. Don’t take this personally. Handle what you must. Tonight: Be in the limelight. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) HHHHYou might want to see a situation in a new light. First, determine how much your innate prejudices could be affecting your perspective. Use care with spending, as you might be inclined to go to extremes financially as you process an emotional matter. Tonight: A must appearance. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) HHHH You’ll want to get through a problem quickly. Be careful as to how assertive you are. Your actions could make someone more defensive than need be.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) HHHH You could be worn out by a sequence of events that emerge from out of the blue.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) HHHH You could be taking on too much, even for you. Allow greater give-and-take within a relationship.

Make your greetings count Dear Readers: Here is this week’s sound off, about store employees greeting customers: “Please tell the retail-store trainers to have their staff greet customers from within five feet or so, not from a distance and not when the customer is looking elsewhere. I don’t know how many times I have been shouted a ‘Hello’ because the staff person wanted to be noticed. Instead of feeling welcomed, I feel irritated. Oftentimes, I must twist my neck around to find the staff person who has greeted me from behind my back over two racks of clothing.” — A Reader, via email — Heloise

A baby born today has a Sun in Gemini and a Moon in Leo. HAPPY BIRTHDAY for Monday, June 2, 2014: This year you say what you feel in a direct yet charming way. You often discover that life has a surprise for you waiting just around the corner. When you’re upset, you tend to withdraw. Communication is one of your strengths. Remember to be sensitive with your tone of voice, as your words could carry a lot of anger in the way they are expressed. If you are single, someone you meet from mid-July on could be significant in your daily life. You will meet this person in your daily travels. If you are attached, you are more direct about your feelings. You might opt to take a couples’ class with your significant other. By next year at this time, you will be much closer to your sweetie. LEO can be proud, and he or she always demands to be on center stage.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) HHH Do not push someone too far, as you could get an unusually strong reaction. Maintaining an even pace will be difficult. Investing in your home will be an even better idea than you originally might have thought. Refuse to get cornered in an argument. Tonight: Happily head

DEAR ABBY: I am a young, recently married woman. My husband and I are about at the point where we’re thinking of having kids. My brother married a close friend of mine soon after my wedding, and my sister-in-law has a medical condition that may prevent her from having children. I am very close to my brother and his wife, and I can see the writing on the wall. She has mentioned surrogacy once in passing, as a possible alternative if she can’t have kids. If I am asked to be the surrogate, what advice do you have? I’d be more than willing to consider it, but only after my husband and I have had our own children. If I do it, would it be selfish of me to expect some compensation for my time and the toll it will take on my body? I want to be ready if and when I’m asked. What would be the best way to explain my reasoning to her? — BACKUP MOM IN THE NORTHWEST DEAR BACKUP: You may be jumping the gun, because you do not yet know how your body will tolerate a pregnancy. Not all women have easy pregnancies, and if you’re one of them, you may be less willing to be a surrogate.

can’t tell the Brooks Range from a gas range dropped $9.5 million on TV time in Alaska to attack me. Groups supported by the Koch brothers have already spent $2.5 million on false attacks in a desperate attempt to distort my record of fighting for Alaska. “We need to stop the corrosive money being plowed into elections permanently. My belief is so strong I’ve sponsored a constitutional amendment to reverse the Supreme Court’s shortsighted ruling. I’ve also supported legislation to require the money in politics to be disclosed to increase transparency.” —Joe Miller, Republican nominee in the 2010 U.S. Senate race won with a write-in cam-

agency Incident Management Team tasked with managing the fire releases an updated map of the spread and areas of control for the wildfire. Red lines around the parameter of the fire indicate areas that are uncontrolled burns, groupings of crosshatched black lines indicate areas where bulldozers have been used to construct fire lines and the thick black lines that have slowly overtaken the perimeter maps released in the last week of May — show areas where firefighters have completed fire lines, halting the spread of the massive wildfire. While residents who see the map can use it to track the progression of fire containment and gauge their proximity to the burned areas, Dianna Prior, a receiving and distribution manager in the temporary warehouse, can read the map and know which supplies she’ll be sending out and which she’ll be getting back. “At the beginning, it’s a lot of hose, pumps, chainsaws. When structures are involved, then we know that it’s a lot of

paign by Sen. Lisa Murkowski. “The unprecedented level of money committed to Alaska’s race from corporate and special interests is just another indicator that the DC Establishment views our senate seat as their ‘cheap seat.’ They think they can buy us. Unfortunately, some voters will be swayed by the big money interests. Let’s hope the majority recognize it for what it is, a shameless attempt to buy our election.” —Dan Sullivan, most recently served as Alaska’s Natural Resources commissioner: “Sen. Begich has had more than five years to address the influence of outside groups in elections, including two years where his party had full control of Congress. Instead of voting to fix what he now describes as ‘dark money,’ his legislative priority was to be the deciding vote to implement Obamacare. He has failed to act because he

knew that his re-election prospects would hinge on being one of the largest beneficiaries of Harry Reid and Michael Bloomberg’s money. Until he stands up and repudiates the millions of dollars his candidacy has received from liberal special interests, Sen. Begich’s hope for change is all talk and nothing else. —Lt. Gov. Mead Treadwell, elected in 2010. “I predict there will be more money spent in our Senate race by super PACS than there will be by campaigns. Voters should beware, here and around the country: candidates are not responsible for many of the messages you hear about them. One of the biggest issues in this race is Washington, DC’s huge overreach.” “To blunt the impact of huge outside money, I will demand more face-to-face debates between candidates.”

. . . Swap

hose and sprinkler kits. A lot of pumps will go out usually when they’re trying to draw water to save houses,” Prior said. “Then, when (the map) starts getting more black — we know we’re going to start getting a lot of stuff back. People will be demob(ilizing) and we’ll be checking in crews as they come back.” Prior, who has worked as a receiving and distribution manager for 12 years stood in the doorway of a 40-foot trailer designed as a type of kit for management of a fire classified as a Type II incident. The neon green trailer has sat open in the Skyview High School parking lot for nearly 10 days as supply managers arrive on scene to coordinate delivery of everything from food, to clean clothes, to office supplies for the more than 700 personnel now working the fire. “It gets chaotic,” Prior said. As firefighting effort and personnel increase, so does demand on the warehouse. Before the caterer arrived to offer regular meal-times the warehouse distributes field rations and fresh food boxes to firefighting crews. “The store may not be stocked initially but we try to get out as much as we can to

get (firefighters) as prepared as they can be and so the first few days are always kind of a rush to try and get things here that we know they’re going to need,” said Daniel Tanner, warehouse manager. “After four or five days here, in this case, we’re really kind of more comfortable and have the supplies here that they’ll need.” Sometimes, that equipment has been in use for so long — it’s easy to anticipate that it will be needed. Tanner lifted the handle of a World War II-era canvas and wooden-frame packboard used for carrying gear out into the woods. The black-ink stamped board dated to 1944. “In a lot of cases, the equipment for a wildfire hasn’t really changed in a long time,” Tanner said. “Sometimes you can’t really improve on a good system.” Staff work 120 hours a week to support the firefighting efforts and it can be exhausting, but someone needs to be on hand to fill orders from firefighters who need to be able to respond to the changing behavior of a wildfire, Prior said. “When you’re on a fire, you know you’re going to work really hard,” she said. Tanner said that as activity

on the fire dies down — operation ramps up in the warehouse as workers prepare pallets of firefighting equipment to be returned to warehouses around the state where gear can be cleaned and stored until the next fire crew calls to order it. “It’s a matter of finding the balance of keeping enough here on hand to be able to supply the guys with what they need as the fire is kind of closing out, as well as making sure that we can send as much back as we can so we don’t end up with a huge pile of equipment to send back all at once because that’s very difficult to do logistically,” he said. Evidence that the fire is increasingly under control can be seen in the huge stack of dirty fire hose accumulating at the warehouse. Tanner, who typically works at a fire supply warehouse in Fairbanks, said it’s difficult to keep track of how much equipment flows through the warehouse —even in the short time that the Funny River wildfire has been burning. “Past 100 pallets, you just kind of lose track,” he said.

behind,” Bob Bergdahl told reporters, as if speaking to his son. “We are so proud of the way this was carried out.” He spoke in Boise, Idaho, as residents in the sergeant’s hometown of Hailey prepared for a homecoming celebration. Hagel was met with silence when he told troops in a Bagram hangar: “This is a happy day. We got one of our own back.” In weighing the swap, U.S. officials decided it could help the effort to reach reconciliation with the Taliban, which the U.S. sees as key to more security in Afghanistan. But they acknowledged the risk that the deal would embolden insurgents, perhaps encourag-

ing them to grab U.S. troops or citizens as bargaining chips for the release of others in U.S. custody. Republicans pressed that point. “Have we just put a price on other U.S. soldiers?” asked Sen. Ted Cruz of Texas. “What does this tell terrorists, that if

you capture a U.S. soldier, you can trade that soldier for five terrorists?” “I’m going to celebrate him coming home,” said Republican Rep. Adam Kinzinger of Illinois. But the release of “five mid- to high-level Taliban is shocking to me, especially without coming to Congress.”

Although fire activity is dying down, a temporary flight restriction is still in place over the Funny River Fire. The fire’s flight restriction zone was violated four times Sunday, according to a media release. The restriction applies to all general aviation traffic.
