Kenai woman, 2 daughters, boyfriend missing By KELLY SULLIVAN and RASHAH MCCHESEY Peninsula Clarion

A family of four has been missing from their Kenai home for more than a week. Brandon Jividen 37, his girlfriend Rebecca Adams, 22, and her daughters Michelle Hundley, 5, and Jaracca Hundley, 3, were last seen one week ago, said to Kenai Police Sergeant Scott McBride. The report is currently under investigation, McBride said.

Rebecca Adams’ family members said the last contact they’d had with her had been alarming. Lanell Adams, the missing woman’s sister, said she got a phone call around Memorial Day weekend. “She sounded very distressed,” said Lanell Adams. “She just told me ‘know that I love you,” and she had to get off the phone very quickly.” Lanell Adams said Rebecca Adams would not tell her what was wrong. “Growing up we always had this thing … we say ‘thou shall not lie’ and you always have to tell the truth,”

Lanell Adams said. “I asked her, thou shall not lie Becca, are you ok?’ She said, don’t ask me that right now, just know that I love you.” After that conMichelle & Rebecca Brandon versation, Rebecca Jaracca Adams Jividen Adams, her daughters and boyfriend Washington State to help with the hunt disappeared from their North Kenai for her sister. apartment near Chugach Aveue. Audre Gifford, who said Adams Lanell Adams flew to Kenai from was her cousin, said the family had left

behind both of their cars, all of their camping and outdoor gear and the car seats for Adams’ daughters. The family’s dog is also missing, Gifford said. Gifford said she and other family members have been searching for evidence of what happened to the four for several days. “We’ve been over there (to the apartment) a lot,” Gifford said. “Right now, investigators are looking for the last ping on (Jividen’s) cell phone to see where that came from and checking their bank records.” See GONE, page A-2

Before making the trip back from Tucson, Arizona to Kenai in time for the birding festival May 15, Marilyn Kay Johnson went into her arts and crafts room in her summer home and reached for a plastic bag full of random thin strips of fabric. “I need something to work on while on the road,” Johnson said. She sat in the passenger seat and stitched the multi-colored pieces together while her husband Ralph Van Dusseldorp drove north. At night, Johnson would iron the quilt in the hotel room. As they made their way up to the Pacific Northwest, Johnson stopped into a shop in Oregon for a piece of batting to go between the layers of the quilt. The couple caught the ferry from Bellingham, Washington to Whittier, a five-day ride. During that time, Johnson kept on her

Further inland, Justice Adcox and his brother Archer Adcox shot handmade river rockets into the air at the Challenger Learning Center of Alaska’s booth. “When I count to three you push the button,” Summer Lazenby said. “Be ready.” Justice Adcox’s long, salmon-pink, rocket launched at a sharp arch, and landed ten feet in front of him. He ran to pick it up excited by the successful send off.

Eleven years ago, a program called Project GRAD Kenai Peninsula began to encourage students to not only graduate high school, but also to succeed after graduation. Mike Peterson, executive director, has been with the program for 10 years. He started as an instructional coach and became director in 2011. While high school graduation rates increased fairly quickly after the program began, he said, more recently post-secondary education enrollment has increased. “Especially down the road with the kids that don’t attend college right out of high school, they’re coming back and talking to us a year, two years, three years later for reenrollment into some kind of post-secondary

together.” By the time they arrived back on the Kenai Peninsula, her quilt, no larger than 2 feet by 2 feet, had been completed. The quilt, Johnson titled, “Road Trip” is one of two of her works on display in Gallery Too at the Kenai Fine Arts Center for the month of June. The Quilt Art Show exhibit features 16 quilts in a range of sizes and dimensions. The stipulation for the gallery was that quilts had to be designed without the use of traditional patterns and had to be original piece, said show curator Connie Tarbox. The variety of quilts on display is what makes the show unique, Tarbox said. A holographic quilt, a blossomed flower quilt, and a kitchen apron with a riddle titled, “Merry Berry Mama” are a few of the eclectic entries. “We have some cutting edge quilts beyond traditional designs that have an expressive message,” she said. “We want to honor every piece and give it space on the wall that doesn’t conflict with the one next to it and lose its impact.” Johnson, a retired snowbird, is a member of the Peninsula Quilting Guild. She has made large quilts for beds on commission, but her passion is traveling and she will always have a project to work on her travels. In August 2013, Johnson and Dusseldorp had a fiber art and photography show at the gallery that featured their artwork inspired from the regions they visited, Europe, Africa and the South Pacific. “I have (quilts) I really enjoy because they evoke a time in my life,” Johnson said. “I handpieced a whole quilt in Africa. The fabric isn’t African but every stitch is in my point of view because that’s where I made it. It takes a long enough period of time that you experience life in the process.” One of her favorite pieces is a silk screen scarf she bought in Tahiti with art from Paul Gauguin embroidered on it. She decided to add to it and set up as a sandwich quilt and added ribbons, beads, shells, buttons and worked in with needle and thread. She said it has made a great traveling quilt the last eight years and has pictures of her working on it through their world travels. “I love the portability of quilts,” she said. “I want to sit on a beach somewhere or sit in the

mountains or train or ferry. It’s really nice to have all those memories.” Jan Wallace, who also has two quilts on display in Gallery Too, said the Kenai Peninsula has a strong quilting community. The Peninsula Quilting Guild has a membership of about 120 people and offers classes during which noted outside quilters are brought it to teach advanced skills like hand applique. The guild meets at the Christ Lutheran Church in Soldotna periodically. One of Wallace’s quilts stand out from the others. Three two-foot long stripes of fabric have a rippled 3-D effect. The use of sand colored layered fabric give a live feeling for land and water, Tarbox said. “(Wallace) is experimenting with three-dimensional work,” Tarbox said. “It is fun for her pushing the edge and it is a unique piece.” Wallace’s other submission is a large square quilt with a black border and purple circle designs. Tarbox said Wallace is known for her circle designs. Wallace said she made partial circles and fit them together to make them whole. “I’m happy with the design but not with the color choice,” Wallace said. “Everything is a learning experience. One thing I love about quilting is figuring it out as you go.” Johnson said she grew up with an art background and quilting goes back to her childhood. Her mother was a seamstress and Johnson always played with fabric, made doll clothes and sewed in her spare time. She also took up art painting and design but came to the realization that she loved to buy and collect fabric. Her other quilt on display at the gallery is named, “Bear Squared” with red and black fiber fabric with cutouts of bears designed from Native Alaskan art. She said the scrappy quilt was pieced together from tiny chunks to make a bigger design and conceived being a celebration of southeast Alaskan art. She added one strip of yellow around the border as an imperfection, which she said allows the quilt to keep from offending the gods. Johnson said she never has a laid out plan when she starts quilting, just likes to go at it and let it develop. With a vast collection of fabric collected on her travels, she said she probably uses more red fabric than any other. “Without knowing we all work within a certain palate,” she said. “You don’t notice until you are done. It’s like buying shirts. You come back from the store and you bought an-

other blue shirt the same as the last.” The Art Quilt Show in Gallery Too of the Kenai Fine Arts Center opened Friday and will go through the month of June from Wednesday through Saturday. Johnson said a couple of the quilts will be for sale, but as for artist like herself, the quilts are reminders of a cherished moment in her life. “Every quilt has a story,” she said. “I love hand quilting it is very satisfying and meditative. I like having a reason to keep at it.” Photo by Kelly Sullivan/Peninsula Clarion

Carver explores Tlingit battle armor, weapons MIKE DUNHAM Anchorage Daily News

ANCHORAGE — As an artist, collaborator and conservator, Tlingit master carver Tommy Joseph has been involved with many of the most important totem projects in Alaska over the past 20 years. The short list includes the Indian River History Pole carved with Wayne Price, the Kiks.adi Memorial Pole and the muchphotographed “Holding Hands” Centennial Pole, all in Sitka National Historical Park. The soft-spoken artist spoke

recently on the brutal arts of war at the Anchorage Museum, specifically the battle armor and weapons of the Tlingit Indians. It’s a subject he’s devoted special attention to over the last few years. Joseph’s totems can be found in England, New Zealand, at the Carnegie Museum in Pittsburgh and in front of the Department of Veterans Affairs homeless shelter at Benson Boulevard and C Street in Anchorage. One of the recent generation of artists finding new ways to explore totemic forms, he often incorporates unexpected or

modern elements in his work. On a pole for the Family Justice Center in Sitka, there are young people wearing contemporary clothing. A rainbow is featured on the “Good Life” pole created for Sitka’s Pacific High School. A camera shutter can be discerned on the pole honoring the late Japanese photographer Michio Hoshino. Multicolored hands decorate his Census Pole, created to encourage participation in the 2010 U.S. census and which traveled across the state. It may seem like a leap to go from items now considered

ornamental — bowls, blankets, totem poles — to devices meant for killing. But before contact, Native Alaskans expected all tools to be both functional and decorated. War equipment was considered especially important and was especially welldecorated. Joseph said he started to “seriously research” Tlingit battle gear in 2004, the 200th anniversary of the Battle of Sitka between the Russians, led by Alexander Baranof, and the Kiks. adi clan, led by Chief Katlian. “There wasn’t a whole lot available online or in books,”

Joseph said. “So I decided to do the research myself.” He began with the collections at the Sheldon Jackson Museum in Sitka, where the raven-shaped battle helmet worn by Katlian in the fight against the Russians is kept, and the Alaska State Museum in Juneau. He got a grant to explore the holdings at the Burke Museum in Seattle. Then a Smithsonian fellowship that let him look over items held in several East Coast museums. An award from USA Artists let him travel to Europe, where he visited the British Museum,

several Russian museums and, “I’m not sure how many museums in Paris.” He photographed the pieces, examined them and “picked ‘em apart in my mind.” With an individual artist grant from the Rasmuson Foundation, he re-created the weapons and armor he’d studied and mounted a solo show at the Alaska State Museum in Juneau last year. “Rainforest Warriors” featured six mannequins in full battle gear along with assorted artifacts and paintings. The traditional war equip-

intended in its regulations of fish in federal waters. Although the Alaska Department of Fish and Game is responsible for day-to-day management, there is a federal salmon fishery management plan for most of the state. The National Marine Fisheries Service, however, specifically excluded Cook Inlet salmon from the federal fishery management plan, or FMP, via Amendment 12. During oral argument May 27, Judge Timothy Burgess asked both sides about other situations where a fishery was removed from a fishery man-

agement plan. The federal defendants provided three examples that had not previously been raised, and the fishing organization’s attorney Jason Morgan wrote in the June 2 brief that the organization wanted the chance to address them. In the brief, Morgan wrote that the Gulf of Alaska tanner crab fishery and the black and blue rockfish fisheryin Alaska were not analogous with the salmon fisheries because they are much smaller. He also provided details that contradicted the federal portrayal of the Gulf tanner crab fishery, which was

never included in the FMP, rather than being specifically removed. UCIDA asked June 2 to file additional information in response to a question asked during oral argument May 27 in U.S. District Court in Anchorage. Judge Timothy Burgess ordered to allow that information June 5. The federal defendants have until June 13 to respond to the supplemental briefing.

Lanell Adams said both Rebecca Adams and Jividen’s phones have been turned off for several days. “I’ve called dozens of times,” she said. “I’m scared more than anything.” At this point evidence and testimony is still being gathered by the Kenai Police Department, McBride said. Both relatives and their landlord said it was very out of character for the family to be gone for that period of time, without notification. “The landlord says that they’re always the first people to pay rent on the 1st and their rent hasn’t been paid,” Gifford said. A possibility exists the family just went out of town, but the KPD is looking into it to reassure relatives, McBride said. McBride said the sooner missing persons are reported the better. If something happened they can figure out the circumstances more easily. For now, the family is trying to spread the word about the missing family via Facebook and by putting fliers up around the central Kenai Peninsula.

Dara Leone Kaupp Dara Leone Kaupp, 92, passed away May 26, 2014 in St. George, Utah. Dara was born March 15, 1922 in Madison, South Dakota to Lillian M. Hanneman and Sherman C. Smith. The Smith family moved to the lower Rio Grande Valley of Texas in 1928 where Dara and her younger brother Sherman (Bud) Smith grew up and graduated from La Feria High School. As children Dara and Bud spent much of their time on Padre Island. Dara was fond of animals including her donkey Blindy, horse Charlie and Capuchin monkey Billy-the-Monk. In the valley stealing water melons from local farmers was a favorite pastime. In 1940 Dara, brother Bud and mother Lillian moved to Los Angeles, California. In 1941 with the outbreak of World War II, Dara went to work in a defense plant, Bud joined the Marines, and Lillian later became a nurse in the WACs. After the war Bud Smith graduated from the University of California at Berkeley and then moved to Alaska. Lillian and Dara soon followed. They settled at Cooper Landing on Kenai Lake. In 1953 Dara brought the first public school (and teacher Carl Clemson) to Cooper Landing by obtaining a commitment from local parents to provide heating fuel for the

first year and permission for classes to be held in the Cooper Landing Community Club, an accomplishment of which Dara was justly proud. Dara later moved several times between Alaska, Texas and Utah. She was a journeyman butcher, a skill she picked up in California before the war. Dara loved to play cards, particularly Pinochle and Cribbage; she would gladly teach you the game, but she always played to win. With a brother and son both of whom were geologists, Dara had a passion for collecting unusual rocks. Dara retired in Anchorage, Alaska and worked for many years in the Senior Companion Program. Dara moved to Ivins, Utah in 2007 to live with her daughter Lillian and husband Roger Dorcas. But Alaska was always in her heart. With her ability to travel limited by poor health, Dara enjoyed receiving cards and calls, and most of all visits, from her extended Alaska family: she was Grandma to Jason, Alicia and Daedra Dorcas, and Great Grandma to Kevin Willard, Dareena Doyle and Milena Doyle; she was Aunt Dara to Larry, Dan, Tim, Clay and Pixie Smith; her best friend was Audrey Shepherd of Soldotna. Dara leaves three children: Michael (Patricia) Mitchell, Jr. (Anchorage, Alaska); Lillian (Roger) Dorcas (Ivins, Utah); Sandy (Gorlac) McClintock (Georgetown, Delaware); three grandchildren: Brian (Elizabeth) S. Mitchell (Kodiak, Alaska); Michael L. Mitchell (Brownwood, Texas): Rachel McClintock (Georgetown, Delaware); and two great grandchildren: Maxton and Lillian Mitchell of Kodiak, Alaska. Dara was preceded in death by her older sister Lorayne (Short) Disney and her brother Bud. Dara’s ashes will be returned to Alaska. But her spirit will be playing cribbage with her brother Bud, she’ll be sipping a strawberry milk-shake, and later they will go looking for agates on the beach. Rest in peace Mom, Grandma, Great Grandma, Aunt Dara.

A cautious approach to budgeting After some discussion and debate, the

Kenai Peninsula Borough Assembly last week approved a budget for the fiscal year that begins July 1 and ends June 30, 2015. While anyone reading through the document may finds items to criticize, the budget appears balanced in two important ways — government expenditures and revenues pencil out while a healthy fund balance is maintained, and borough residents receive a good level of government services for taxes paid. The Clarion reported that last Tuesday’s budget discussion focused on three areas — education, funding for non-departmental organizations and assembly expenses — and while votes were split on some amendments, the assembly unanimously approved the spending plan. The discussion on those items shows the assembly taking a pragmatic approach to allocating public money. The assembly took a cautious stance on school funding, voting for a $500,000 increase to its contribution to the school district while waiting to see how the rest of the education funding picture shapes up before addressing the rest of the district’s $1.5 million request. As assembly member Charlie Pierce noted, the school district is not facing a financial emergency, and as Borough Mayor Mike Navarre said, the borough can increase funding at a later date, but can’t reduce it. Assembly members considered a proposal to cut funding for non-departmental agencies in half, and another to reduce funding by 10 percent. Those amendments did not pass, but during the debate the assembly was able to look beyond its own budget and consider what the agencies are able to do with the funding, for example, leveraging borough support to obtain matching funding from other sources. And on the topic of assembly expenses, assembly members were able to trim their travel budget while prioritizing trips that most benefit the Kenai Peninsula, including trips to visit with lawmakers in Juneau and Washington, D.C. “I think there’s value to some travel and I think the assembly recognizes that even with the reductions they made,” Navarre told the Clarion. Navarre also noted that borough spending priorities are where they should be. When it comes to spending the public’s money, you can’t please everyone. But the budget plan approved by the assembly shows a responsible approach to fiscal planning and is the result of a good budget process.

States may be growing wealth gap By DAVID A. LIEB Associated Press

JEFFERSON CITY, Mo. — Lawmakers in many states have been trying to boost their post-recession economies by cutting income taxes, curbing aid to the long-term jobless or holding down the minimum wage. Some have pursued all of these steps. Whether such policies will spur businesses to expand as hoped isn’t yet clear. But collectively, the actions could ease the financial burden for the states’ most affluent residents while reducing the safety net for those at the bottom. The shift may also contribute to a trend that is prompting growing national concern: the widening gap between the richest Americans and everyone else. The divergence has developed over four decades and accelerated in recent years. Economic statistics show that incomes for the top 1 percent of U.S. households soared 31 percent from 2009 through 2012, after adjusting for inflation, yet inched up an average of 0.4 percent for those making less. Many economists are sounding alarms that the income gap, greater now than at any time since the Depression, is hurting the economy by limiting growth in consumer spending. Yet those concerns aren’t resonating in some states. Last year, at least 10 states passed income tax cuts targeted at businesses or those in the top individual brackets. Several more already have cut taxes this year, including Democratic-led New York and Republican-led Oklahoma. Yet over the past three years, nearly one-fifth of the states have pared back unemployment benefits, and more cutbacks are un-

AP News Extra der consideration. The theory is that business owners are more likely to hire, expand and drive economic growth when their own financial burdens are eased. But others contend that formula comes with side effects. “What’s happening at the state level is increasingly important, and, to many eyes, it appears to be moving things in one direction — towards greater inequality,” said Matthew Gardner, executive director of the Institute on Taxation and Economic Policy, a Washington-based tax research group. The once-obscure income gap has become an issue in the 2014 elections as Democrats and Republicans differ over the best way to ensure America fulfills its promise as a land of opportunity. Economists point to a variety of factors contributing to the gap, from the shift toward foreign manufacturing to a growth in single-parent households. Since the mid-1970s, states as a whole have cut their top individual income tax

rates by nearly one-fourth, while boosting state sales tax rates by almost half, according to an Associated Press analysis. That has meant lower taxes for those earning the most and a bigger proportionate tax bite for those who spend more of their income on retail sales. Vermont, for example, has cut its top personal income tax rate from 17.5 percent to less than 9 percent while doubling its sales tax rate to 6 percent. At the same time, states have scaled back some of the aspects of the financial safety net that keep low-income people out of poverty. The inflation-adjusted value of state welfare payments has been dropping in every state except Maryland and Wyoming and — even with federal food stamps included — leaves recipients below the poverty level in all states. As the safety net shrinks, the chance that residents will be impoverished at some point has grown. The percentage of people ages 35-45 experiencing poverty rose by one third during 1988-2008 compared with the previous two decades, according to research by Mark Rank, a social welfare professor at Washington University in St. Louis.

D-Day dumb day for too many Given the numerous studies revealing how American education lags behind instruction in other countries in disciplines once thought to be essential, it should come as no surprise that on the 70th anniversary of D-Day, a lot of people are clueless about central elements of the Allied invasion of the European continent on June 6, 1944. The American Council of Trustees and Alumni (ACTA) has released the results of a survey, which finds only slightly more than half (54 percent) of those who took a multiple choice quiz knew that Dwight D. Eisenhower was the supreme commander of Allied forces on D-Day. Fewer than half knew Franklin Roosevelt was president and 15 percent identified the location of the landing as Pearl Harbor, not beaches named Utah and Omaha. One in 10 college students were among those giving the wrong answer. Colleges and universities clearly are not teaching what they once did. That is also apparent in the ACTA survey, which found that 70 percent of recent college graduates knew D-Day occurred during World War II, compared to 98 percent of college graduates 65 and older. Dr. Michael Poliakoff, ACTA’s vice president of policy, says: “We are allowing students to graduate college with the historical knowledge of a twelfth grader. Not a single liberal arts college, except the military academies and only five of the top 50 public universities require even one survey of American history.”

Poliakoff continues: “We aren’t adequately preparing the next generation for the challenges of career and community with this apathetic approach to our national heritage. These college gradu- Cal Thomas ates are unlikely to understand the cost of maintaining our nation’s freedom.” While much of this should disgust, especially those parents who are paying more and getting less of an education for their kids, none of it should surprise. Today’s young people seem to know and care more about sex, pop stars and the latest cellphones, than wisdom and knowledge from our past and the character of those who fought to preserve our freedoms. In his classic book, “The Closing of the American Mind: How Higher Education Has Failed Democracy and Impoverished the Souls of Today’s Students,” the late college professor Allan Bloom indicted modern university life: “The university now offers no distinctive visage to the young person. He finds a democracy of the disciplines — which are there either because they are autochthonous or because they wandered in recently to perform some job that was demanded of the university. This democracy is really an anarchy, because there are no recognized rules for citi-

zenship and no legitimate titles to rule. In short there is no vision, nor is there a set of competing visions, of what an educated human being is. The question has disappeared, for to pose it would be a threat to peace.” (p337) It seems increasing numbers among us don’t know what we don’t know, and worse, don’t care that we don’t know it. The late Steve Allen created the “man on the street” interview for “The Tonight Show.” He would ask people general knowledge questions. Their replies were often funny. Jesse Watters of Fox News does the same on Bill O’Reilly’s show. While the intent of this feature is to laugh at the ignorance of others, the bits reflect a dumbing-down of the American mind to the point where wisdom and knowledge are no longer regarded as necessary. Emotional satisfaction and feeling good now seem to be the new standards by which all things are now measured. Someone should ask a question of the aging veterans who are likely visiting Normandy for the last time this weekend. If they could have foreseen what America would become and how little their descendants know, or care, about their sacrifice, would they have done what they did? They probably would because of their character. I’m not sure the same could be said of too many of their progeny. Readers may email Cal Thomas at tcaeditors@tribune.com.

Mate expectations: We can do better There’s an axiom in journalism to the effect that if you’ve antagonized everybody involved in a story, then you’ve probably done a good job reporting. That’s overly broad, of course, since sometimes it’s because you did a really bad job, or that the subject is one of those where no matter what you say is it’s wrong. This is one of those where the question might be put this way: If a man who hates women is a misogynist, is a woman who hates men a mistersogynist? Why not? Let’s face it, we are at each other’s throats. Mars and Venus always are colliding, and now in our supposedly modern times, the impact is worse — on many occasions, violent. Much thought is being given right now to the guy part of this frightful equation, and properly so. The deadly rampage by Elliot Rodger, rooted as it was in his murderous frustration over his failure to achieve delusional sexual expectations, has inspired a full-throated discussion of all the ugly ways males treat females. As we’ve fitfully emerged in the past couple of generations from a culture of outright subjugation, we’ve submerged into confusion. Paradoxically, our so-called liberation has been construed as a license for a demeaning objectification that permeates the macho fantasy. Finally, we’re finally hearing from the “macha” side that the burden forever suffered as inevitable can no longer be C

tolerated. Furthermore, as many commentators have reminded us, it’s not just up to women, but men as well to put a stop to this. While obvious, it’s just not that simple. Even in this day, when fe- Bob Franken males are no longer viewed as breeding stock, we’re all totally hung up on sex. How incongruous it is that the ultimate getting together is so much of what drives us apart. In times when either gender can make a move on the other, we are held back by the fear of rejection. Or we’re not held back if we can pull off masking our insecurities with a show of bravado, often crude. When this incredibly clumsy maneuvering misses, the next step is often anger, or worse. Where is the line, though, between introducing yourself to someone attractive and hitting on her (or him)? Even when two people connect, when the chemistry somehow overcomes the confusion, then what? If the sparks fire a romance, what happens next? Forget for the moment the demeaning and juvenile depiction of all this in the movies and other entertainment outlets. How about those gentle romance films,

which end when the new couple has endured and begins a life together. Let’s face it, in real life, “happily ever after” is just the beginning. In fact, the insanity that brings two people together has relatively little to do with keeping them together. Those of us past the dating and conquest phase will agree that the initial heat is replaced in relationships by the warm glow of familiarity that actually can breed humor, sharing and stability, the real ingredients in a romance that lasts. The early rush has little to do with it. In fact, it’s a fraud. If somehow we were taught that life lesson early, maybe we could reduce all the hate that surrounds love. Ripping decisions about sex away from the control of the moral Luddites has been a good thing. The fact that we no longer are ruled by prudish prohibitions about who can do what to whom and when should have freed us. Instead, we have gone from one prison to another. Far too many of us approach romance as if it were a meat market, with hookups the only game. It’s formulaic to the point that it’s computerized. That may or may not be better than singles bars, but it’s all frustrating and usually a waste of time. We can do better. Bob Franken is a longtime broadcast journalist, including 20 years at CNN.

Kodiak raises money for slain troopers’ PETER J. MLADINEO Kodiak Daily Mirror

KODIAK, Alaska — Kodiak is 500 miles from the home of two Alaska State Troopers who were killed on duty last month but the community came together last weekend to raise money for the families of the officers. Patrons on Sunday night donated some $5,000 for the families of Sgt. Scott Johnson and Trooper Gabe Rich, gunned down by an assailant in Tanana, at the Elks Club. The event was organized by chef Joel Chenet, with help from the Elks lodge, St. Innocent’s Academy, and Alaska State Troopers. At the “First Salmon of the Year” dinner, which Chenet has put on for 12 years, Chenet’s creative touches gave patrons plenty of pink on each plates. “We had five courses and everything was salmon,” Chenet said. “It was a good night,” Those five kids they are going to get some money to help them.” Sgt Eric Olsen of the Alaska State Troopers, the night’s emcee, noted that the dinner, however, made a strong showing for a community concerned with the welfare of its law enforcement. “We truly appreciate what Joel and Martine have done for us for the families of Trooper Rich and Sgt. Johnson. All the proceeds from this event are going to them. The community of Kodiak has stepped up and donated items too.” C

“As a community we’re able to give back to those spouses and say, ‘Hey we’re going to continue to take care of you even though your law enforcement spouse is gone.’ I think that this is what this is all about. Just because Sgt. Johnson and Trooper Rich are gone doesn’t mean that our support is gone,” Olsen added. Johnson and Rich, shot on May 1 in the village of Tanana, near Fairbanks, were given a color guard, prayer, with around 78 in attendance.St. Innocent’s Academy provided musical entertainment — singing everything from church hymns to Georgian chants and sea shanties. The academy helped with the organization, food preparation and table service as well. Olsen worked with Johnson and considered him a close friend.“Sgt. Johnson and I were good friends. We used to hang out together on duty and offduty,” he said. Olsen described the toll that the shootings have on law enforcement throughout Alaska. “His death was a severe blow to all of us throughout Alaska and the law enforcement community. There are many other law enforcement officers who are grieving through this time period,” he added. Law enforcement families face additional emotional and psychological burdens as well, Olsen said.“I know our spouses of law enforcement members, when they see us go to work they don’t know if we’re coming home. It’s hard on the spouses on a daily basis,” he said.

Alaska mine rules out pipeline, will pay fine ANCHORAGE, Alaska (AP) — The owners of a Northwest Alaska mine will pay an $8 million fine rather than build a pipeline that would have moved treated wastewater past a village to the Chukchi Sea. The decision stems from a 2008 settlement for alleged violations of the federal Clean Water Act. The agreement required Red Dog Mine operator Teck Resources Ltd., to build a pipe-

line or pay a fine. Effluent from the zinc and lead mine is deposited in the Red Dog Creek. The creek flows into the Wulik River, which supplies water to Kivalina, a village of about 370 people 70 miles west of the mine. Mine officials explored multiple options, but none of them were feasible, Red Dog Mine spokesman Wayne Hall said. The company was not able

to construct an underground water pipeline because there is too much ground movement in the area due to permafrost, Hall said. An above-ground pipeline had its challenges as well. Hall said it would need to be at least 7 feet tall in order to protect migrating caribou. That made for high costs, with a projected price tag of about $216 million. “Ultimately, we decided there just wasn’t any increased

benefit,” Hall said. The effluent discharged into Red Dog Creek “is protective of human health,” he said, and the creek has seen environmental improvements. Native Village of Kivalina President Millie Hawley said the decision is disappointing. “(The pipeline) would have been an ideal solution to our concerns that we have voiced over the past 25 years,” she said.

Bergdahl’s Journey MARTHA MENDOZA AP National Writer

Bowe Bergdahl stands, hands at his sides, his loosefitting Pashtun smock and pants bright white against the rocky landscape. The hillsides are dotted with armed Afghans, rifles ready. A Black Hawk appears in the clouds. After almost five years in captivity, the American soldier, head shaved, eyes blinking, is about to finally see freedom. “We’ve been looking for you for a long time,” a member of a special forces team shouts over the roar of the copter. Bergdahl breaks down. It was supposed to be a moment for celebration, America’s only military captive in the 13year Afghan conflict free at last. And in his hometown in Idaho, where trees are bedecked with yellow ribbons and prayers never stopped, indeed it is. But for the rest of the country, Bergdahl’s capture and release have thrust him into a furious debate. From members of Congress to his own former platoon mates, a storm of critics are livid because Bergdahl was captured after walking away from his post and then released in a swap for five Taliban prisoners. Some question whether soldiers died as part of efforts to save him. “He’s a deserter, in every sense of the word,” said Evan Buetow, Bergdahl’s former Army team leader, angered to see him heralded as a hero. “That’s exactly the opposite of what he is.” Now, as Bergdahl prepares to head home, everyday Americans are left asking: Is he a victim? A traitor? Are we meant to empathize or admonish? Bergdahl grew up with parents and older sister Sky amid the breathtaking peaks of the Sawtooth Mountains. The kids were homeschooled, and he received a GED from a local college. His father drove a UPS truck. The blond, lanky kid grew up, by all accounts, an explorer near Hailey, Idaho, a town of 7,000 that offers a funky alternative to the nearby Sun Valley ski resort. He sparred with the Sun Valley Swords fencing club, danced with the Sun Valley Ballet School, loved his bicycle and sought adventures. He bounced from job to job, on an Alaskan fishing boat, cleaning guns and stocking targets at the shooting club, crewing on a sailboat trip from South Carolina to California. From the librarian to the sheriff, everyone seemed to know and admire Bergdahl as he came of age. “He was good every which way you looked at it,” said the gun club manager, Dick Mandeville. Bergdahl enlisted at 22 and, with just seven months of military training, was deployed to Afghanistan in February 2009 with the 1st Battalion, 501st Parachute Infantry Regiment, 4th Brigade Combat Team, 25th Infantry Division. Their mission was to stop the Taliban. Beyond fighting, that meant patrolling villages, gathering intelligence, winning the confidence of locals, training the Afghan National Police. Bergdahl preferred the humanitarian aspect of the job, passing out food and medical supplies. “He enjoyed helping the locals way more than he enjoyed doing all the ... actual combat side of a deployment,” said platoon medic Josh Cornelison, 25, of Sacramento, California. “He wasn’t so fond of that at all.” As months passed, Bergdahl began grousing to Buetow, his boss, about their mission. “’You don’t have to believe in it, but I need your mind clear if something happens,’” Buetow, 28, of Seattle recalled telling him. Days before he disappeared, Bergdahl asked Buetow how to get the maximum amount of cash from his paycheck. He also wanted to mail home his computer and books. “There were things he said that I didn’t think too much of

This image made from video released by the Taliban and obtained by IntelCenter on Dec. 8, 2010, shows a man believed to be Bowe Bergdahl at left. Bergdahl, a U.S. Army soldier, went missing from his outpost in Afghanistan in June 2009 and was released from Taliban captivity on May 31 in exchange for five enemy combatants held in the U.S. prison in Guantanamo Bay, Cuba.

at the time, but when he walked away the lights started going off in all of our heads,” said Buetow. On June 27, 2009, Bergdahl sent his parents what would be his final email from the field, condemning the military system and the mission in Afghanistan. “The US army is the biggest joke the world has to laugh at. It is the army of liars, backstabbers, fools, and bullies,” he told his parents, who later shared emails with Rolling Stone magazine. His father responded: “Dear Bowe, In matters of life and death, and especially at war, it is never safe to ignore ones’ conscience.” Three days later, at 5:30 a.m., a soldier went to wake Bergdahl for guard duty. Their platoon was living at an isolated post, a two-acre stretch of a riverbed, surrounded by wire. Bergdahl slept in a one-man pup tent. On this morning, his body armor and weapon were there. But Bergdahl was gone. “Hey, is Bergdahl up there?” someone called. He wasn’t. A frantic search was launched through bunkers, latrines, vehicles, even Afghan

National Police posts. Within a day a radio operator intercepted Afghans chatting about a new bargaining chip. “I think he is a big shot,” says one in a translated transcript posted on the whistleblower group WikiLeaks’ website. In another, an Afghan said an American was looking for someone who could speak English, and wanted to talk to the Taliban. Analysts believed he was being held by the Haqqani network, an insurgent group affiliated with the Taliban. Within weeks, he public got its first glimpse of the missing soldier on a video posted by the Taliban. Asked how he was doing, Bergdahl quaked. “Well I’m scared, scared I won’t be able to go home.” Back in Hailey, Bergdahl’s parents, Bob and Jani, had known of his capture. Now it was public. Yellow ribbons were tied. Candles lit. A “Get Bowe Back” sign was hung in the local coffeehouse window, while Bob and Jani chained their front gate, attaching their own small sign: “No visitors.” His father stopped shaving and started studying Pashto and Arabic to immerse himself in Afghan culture, to feel a con-

nection with his son. In Afghanistan, the search continued as anger grew among the comrades who questioned why Bergdahl had left. “Yes, we resented it. We resented him. And we were upset with the fact that we’re looking for this guy who we knew walked away,” Buetow said.

FORT WORTH, Texas — The Texas Republican Party now endorses so-called “reparative therapy” for gays, under a new platform given final approval at its annual convention Saturday. The new anti-gay language never came up for debate before roughly 7,000 delegates ratified a Texas GOP platform that tea party groups succeeded in pushing further to the right, including winning a harder line on immigration. One influential tea party group called Texas Eagle Forum had urged the party to support psychological treatments that seek to turn gay people straight. It comes after Republican New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie last fall signed a law banning such therapies on minors, and California has a similar law. The Fort Worth Convention Hall cheered when party leaders announced that Christie finished a distant 11th in a 2016 presidential straw poll. “There’s a very, very small group of people who want to keep the party in the past. We were here today to try to pull the party into the

future,” said Rudy Oeftering, vice president of the gay conservative group Metroplex Republicans. “The only way the party can go into the future is to start listening to young people, to start listening to people who have gay family members.” Oeftering and allies had lined up to speak against the therapy language that had been added earlier this week. But they never got a chance to address delegates, because a parliamentary motion to approve the full platform was called first. Under the new plank, the Texas GOP recognizes “the legitimacy and efficacy of counseling, which offers reparative therapy and treatment for those patients seeking healing and wholeness from their homosexual lifestyle.” The American Psychological Association and other major health organizations have condemned such counseling, which generally try to change a person’s sexual orientation or to lessen their interest in engaging in same-sex sexual activity. The groups say the practice should not be used on minors because of the danger of serious psychological harm.

Around the Nation Comedian Tracy Morgan critically injured in fatal crash; truck driver receives charges NEW BRUNSWICK, N.J. — Actor and comedian Tracy Morgan was critically injured Saturday after a tractor-trailer rammed into his chauffeured limousine bus, setting off a chain-reaction crash that left a fellow comedian dead and two others seriously hurt, authorities said. A truck driver from Georgia was charged with death by auto in the crash that killed a man described as a mentor to the former “Saturday Night Live” and “30 Rock” cast member as the group traveled home from a standup comedy show in Delaware, officials said.

The decision was announced Friday afternoon just as the party was getting started at PrideFest, an annual gay celebration that draws thousands of people to Milwaukee’s festival grounds on Lake Michigan. Many couples who married Saturday said the judge’s decision had caught them by surprise, and they hadn’t wanted to break Friday night plans.

Campus shooting 911 calls released MANUEL VALDES Associated Press

SEATTLE (AP) — One student talks to 911 operators while a classmate attempts to tend to his bleeding neck and chest. Two other callers after witnessing the shooting at a small Seattle university calmly describe their location, the shooter and the chilling scene. “He walked up behind this guy,” the caller said, adding moments later: “There were two people standing there. And this guy walked up behind one of them, lifted his rifle and shot directly.” A day after a lone gunman

armed with a shotgun opened fire at Seattle Pacific University, Seattle police released three 911 calls recorded shortly after the shooting. The calls reflect a mix of shock, calmness and swift action by students, witnesses and faculty. The 911 calls show “the remarkable calm and resourcefulness of students, faculty, and other witnesses,” police wrote. Police said the shooter, who killed a 19-year-old freshman student and wounded two other young people, had 50 additional shotgun shells and a hunting knife. He said after his arrest that he wanted to kill as many

people as possible before taking his own life, Seattle police wrote in a statement filed in court Friday. The suspect, Aaron Ybarra, 26, was ordered held without bail on Friday. He was arrested at the scene after a student tackled him when he was reloading his shotgun, police said. In one of the recordings, a student calls 911 after his classmate runs into a classroom bleeding from the neck. Operators then talk to the wounded student in an attempt to get a description of the suspect. “There’s someone shot. I was hit with shrapnel,” the student said. “Looks like birdshot

according to the person that is patching me up.” “Someone was hit directly... and immediately fell,” he adds. After the student who died was identified as Paul Lee from Portland, Oregon, students began mourning their classmate, leaving notes, posting a picture and praying at a makeshift flower memorial near Otto Miller hall, where the shooting happened. Lee’s friend and classmate Ben Purcell said he was supposed to meet Lee to study on the hour the shooting happened, but was running late. Lee went ahead to Otto Miller without Purcell.

State helps supply migrant kids site BRIAN SKOLOFF Associated Press

NOGALES, Ariz. — Mattresses, portable toilets and showers were brought in Saturday for 700 unaccompanied minors who spent the night sleeping on plastic cots inside an Arizona warehouse, a federal official said. The Homeland Security official told The Associated Press that about 2,000 mattresses have been ordered for the makeshift holding center — a warehouse that has not been used to shelter people in years. Gov. Jan Brewer’s spokesman, Andrew Wilder, said Friday that conditions at the center are so dire that federal officials have asked the state to immediately ship medical supplies to the center in Nogales. The U.S. Department of Homeland Security started flying immigrants to Arizona from the Rio Grande Valley in Texas last month after the number of immigrants — including more than 48,000 children traveling on their own — overwhelmed the Border Patrol there. Immigrant families were flown from Texas, released in Arizona, and told to report to an Immigration and Customs

Enforcement (ICE) office near where they were traveling within 15 days. ICE has said the immigrants were mostly families from Central America fleeing extreme poverty and violence. The Homeland Security official, who spoke on condition of anonymity because there was no authorization to discuss the matter publicly, said

the holding center opened for unaccompanied children because the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services had nowhere to turn. “They became so overwhelmed and haven’t kept up with planning,” the official said. At the holding center, vendors are being contracted to provide nutritional meals, ac-

cording to U.S. Customs and Border Protection officials. The Federal Emergency Management Agency, meanwhile, will provide counseling services and recreational activities. The Homeland Security official said the number of children at the warehouse was expected to double to around 1,400. The warehouse has a capacity of about 1,500.

Bombs kill 52 in Iraq university By SAMEER N. YACOUB Associated Press

BAGHDAD — A series of car bombs exploded across Iraq’s capital Saturday night, killing at least 52 people in a day of violence that saw militants storm a university in the country’s restive Anbar province and take dozens hostage, authorities said. The attacks in Baghdad largely focused on Shiite neighborhoods, underscoring the sectarian violence now striking at Iraq years after a similar wave nearly tore the country apart following the U.S.-led invasion that toppled Saddam Hussein. Now with U.S. troops gone, Iraq founds itself fighting on fronts across the country, as separate clashes in a northern city killed 21 police officers and 38 militants, officials said. The first Baghdad attack took place Saturday night in the capital’s western Baiyaa district, killing nine people and wounding 22, police said. Later on, seven car bombs in different parts of Baghdad killed at least 41 people and wounded 62, police said. A roadside bomb in western Baghdad also killed two people and wounded six, police said. All the attacks happened in a one-hour period and largely targeted commercial streets in Shiite neighborhoods, authorities said. Hospital officials confirmed the casualty figures. All officials spoke on condition of anonymity because they were not authorized to release details to journalists. The day began with militants killing three police officers on guard at the gates of Anbar University, a police and a military

A woman looks at damage from a Saturday car bomb attack near a Kebab restaurant, in the mainly Shiite Habibiya neighborhood of Baghdad, Iraq, Sunday. A series of bombings on Saturday in Iraq killed and wounded scores of people, a day after army shelling killed many civilians and gunmen in the militant-held city of Fallujah, authorities said.

official said. Islamic extremists and other anti-government militias have held parts of Anbar’s nearby provincial capital of Ramadi and the city of Fallujah since December amid rising tensions between Sunni Muslims and the Shiite-led government in Baghdad. The gunmen detained dozens of students inside a university dorm during their attack, the officials said. Sabah Karhout, the head of Anbar’s provincial council, told journalists that hundreds of students were inside the university compound when the attack started at the school. Anbar University says it has more than 10,000 students, making it one of the country’s largest. Ahmed al-Mehamdi, a stu-

dent who was taken hostage, said he awoke to the crackle of gunfire, looked out the window and saw armed men dressed in black running across the campus. Minutes later, the gunmen entered the dormitory and ordered everybody to stay in their rooms while taking others away, he said. The Shiite students at the school were terrified, al-Mehamdi said, as the gunmen identified themselves as belonging to an al-Qaida splinter group known as the Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant. The Sunni

terror group, fighting in Syria with other rebels trying to topple President Bashar Assad, is known for massive, bloody attacks in Iraq as well often targeting Shiites that they view as heretics. The Islamic State did not immediately claim the attack on the school. Several hours later, gunmen left the university under unclear circumstances. Students then boarded buses provided by the local government to flee the school, though gunfire erupted as security forces attacked re-

SEOUL, South Korea — North Korea has detained a 56-year-old man from Ohio, accusing him of an unspecified crime after he traveled to the communistled country as a tourist, the nation’s state news agency and the man’s family said. The North is now holding three Americans. The state-run Korean Central News Agency identified the latest detainee as Jeffrey Edward Fowle. It said Friday that he arrived in North Korea on April 29 and authorities were investigating him for committing acts inconsistent with the purpose of a tourist visit. It did not give details. U.S. officials confirmed the detention but didn’t identify the person for privacy reasons, nor comment on reports that he was held after leaving a Bible in his hotel room. A spokesman for the family said Fowle, who is married with three children, was not on a mission for his church. One of the other two U.S. detainees is KoreanAmerican missionary Kenneth Bae, who has been held since November 2012, and is serving 15 years of hard labor for what the North says were hostile acts

against the state. State Department spokeswoman Marie Harf did not say whether Sweden, which handles consular matters for Americans in North Korea, had been granted access to the latest detainee. “This is the third U.S. citizen that has been detained in North Korea,” Harf told reporters in Washington. She added that there’s “no greater priority for us than the welfare and safety of U.S. citizens abroad.” Harf said the department has a warning against travel to North Korea and that being part of a tour group will not prevent a possible arrest. North Korea has been pushing to promote tourism as part of efforts to earn badly needed foreign currency, but it is also extremely sensitive about how visitors act while in the country. The other American being held was detained for alleged improper behavior while entering the country. The tourist agency he traveled with identified him as Matthew Miller, 24. North Korea said he entered the country on April 10 with a tourist visa, but tore it up and shouted that he wanted to seek asylum. The brief report said he chose the North “as a shelter.”

Man charged in Mounties’ death

Around the World Petro Poroshenko takes oath as Ukrainian president, offers amnesty to armed groups KIEV, Ukraine (AP) — Ukraine’s new president on Saturday called for pro-Russian rebels in the country’s east to lay down their arms and welcomed dialogue with the insurgents, but said he wouldn’t negotiate with those he called “gangsters and killers” and struck a defiant tone on the Russian-annexed Crimean Peninsula. Petro Poroshenko’s inaugural address after taking the oath of office in parliament gave little sign of a quick resolution to the conflict in the east, which Ukrainian officials say has left more than 200 people dead. He also firmly insisted that Crimea, the Black Sea peninsula annexed by Russia in March, “was, is and will be Ukrainian.” He gave no indication of how Ukraine could regain control of Crimea, which Russian President Vladimir Putin has said was allotted to Ukraine unjustly under Soviet leader Nikita Khrushchev.

More than thrity dead in east Congo after attack KINSHASA, Congo — Armed fighters attacked a town in eastern Congo late at night, massacring at least 34 people including women and children who were at a local church, officials said Saturday. Provincial interior minister Jean Julien Miruho said that the violence in Mutarule late Friday also left at least 27 others wounded. Miruho said the identity of the assailants was unknown, though he believed the violence stemmed from livestock disputes in the area, about 40 miles (70 kilometers) from Bukavu. “We cannot say exactly who these attackers were, but we will put together a commission of inquiry that will go to the site Sunday,” Miruho told The Associated Press. “It is clear that this attack was linked to the theft of cattle.”

Quebec sees second jailbreak involving helicopter

A-9

MONTREAL — Three inmates have escaped from a detention center in Quebec City with the help of a helicopter, police said late Saturday. It’s the second helicopter-aided inmate escape in Quebec province in two years. Provincial police said the helicopter headed west from the Orsainville Detention Center after the escape. “We (are working with) a few partners like the airports of Quebec City and surrounding areas, the military bases, and of course there’s a ground search in the event that the helicopter is located,” said police spokeswoman Audrey-Anne Bilodeau. Police identified the inmates on Twitter as Yves Denis, Denis Lefebvre and Serge Pomerleau and told anyone who sees them to not approach them and immediately contact police. They were being held at the detention center waiting to stand trial. In March of last year, a helicopter pilot was forced at gunpoint to pluck two inmates from the St-Jerome prison on a quiet Sunday afternoon. Two inmates climbed up a rope ladder into the hovering helicopter and fled.

MONCTON, New Brunswick— A chilling portrait of a man obsessed with guns and anti-government rhetoric began to emerge as people in this eastern Canadian city struggled to reconcile the knowledge that the person charged with murdering three Mounties was the same one who had seemingly lived quietly among them. Justin Bourque, 24, was caught and charged with three murders and two attempted murders Friday, ending a 30hour manhunt that closed schools, forced residents to hide inside their homes and paralyzed Moncton with fear. He appeared briefly in court Friday after he was charged in the second deadliest attack on the Royal Canadian Mounted Police in nearly 130 years. But as neighbors of his parents and others who knew Bourque spoke of a quiet man from a well-liked, religious Catholic family that homeschooled its children, recent posts on social networks told a very different tale — a litany of paranoid conspiracies that included statements on Russia being a threat to Canada and deep animosity toward authority figures. A friend, Trever Finck, said he noticed changes in Bourque’s behavior over the last year, particularly after he created a new Facebook page for himself in February and filled it with anti-police messages and conspiracy theories. His profile picture shows him standing in the woods with a friend, wearing camouflage gear and clutching a shotgun. What appear to be dozens of

spent shell casings lie at their feet. “I just want to know what was going through his head,” Finck said. Church administrator Dianne LeBlanc said it had been many years since she had seen Bourque, who moved out of the family home about 18 months ago. But his parents never missed a Sunday service at Christ the King Catholic church, she said. They often arrived with at least a couple of their grown children in tow, she added. LeBlanc said parents Victor and Denise home-schooled their children, who were raised speaking French. “They’re a good family,” LeBlanc said. “They were such good Catholics. I’m sure (parishioners) are very sad for them.” Bourque was charged with three counts of first-degree murder and two counts of attempted murder Friday, during a short court appearance in which he appeared bearded and shaggy-haired amid high security. Clad in aqua-colored jail clothes, he stared ahead intently, paying attention but showing little emotion. Bourque nodded when the judge said his name. Officers stood guard outside the courtroom with their weapons drawn. Bourque, who was represented by a court appointed legal aid attorney, is due back in court July 3. Prosecutors and the defense agreed that a psychiatric evaluation was not immediately necessary. On Friday, police released the names of the victims: Constables David Ross, 32, originally of Victoriaville, Quebec; Fabrice Georges Gevaudan, 45,

Roger Brown, commanding officer of RCMP in New Brunswick, choked back tears as he addressed journalists. “Fortunately most people will never have to experience

said. Persisting in post-secondary education after enrollment has also increased, he said. The program works with students from seven Kenai Peninsula Borough School District Schools — Nanwalek, Nikolaevsk, Ninilchik, Port Graham, Razdolna, Tebughna in Tyonek and Voznesenka. Twenty-one students from those villages began the twoweek summer institute program through Project GRAD at Kenai Peninsula College’s Kachemak Bay Campus in Homer on Monday. For morning sessions, students got to choose from robotics, radio journalism and making a difference — a language arts and communications course. In the afternoon, students take painting, fitness or team building. “The idea is that it’s held on the college campus,” Peterson said. “They feel comfortable being on the campus; that it’s not some scary place.” About 16 students are taking part in the dorm life living program after spending the day at KBC. The student stay overnight in a house rented by the program and learn about bud-

geting, meal planning, time management and communal living. Randall Jones, who will be a junior in the fall in Tyonek, said he is enjoying dorm life. “It’s fun,” he said. “It’s like your own house so you have to clean up and do chores and it’s really cool. “It teaches to take care of your stuff.” Jones attended summer institute last year and said along with the classes and dorm life learning, he also learned about the Russian Old Believer culture from students who lived in those villages. Prior attending summer institute, Elizabeth Ukatish, tribal liaison, said many students and their parents are apprehensive about breaking away from village life for two weeks. “But when (the students) come back, the parents are like, ‘Holy cow, my kid learned so much and has stepped up so much and is learning to stand on their own two feet,’” Ukatish said. Tim Haller, who will be a high school junior, said he was nervous when he went to his first summer institute last year. The Selodvia teen used to be quiet, but has since become more outgoing and a leader within his community. Port Graham teen Rick Jager, who will be a sophomore in the fall, said his first summer

institute experience is going well and he is meeting a lot of new people. “Project GRAD has actually helped me become more socialized,” he said. LaBri Estraba, who will be a junior at Ninilchik School next year, is attending her second summer institute. She said it’s fun seeing old friends and meeting new people. “(Project GRAD) encourages you to step out of your comfort zone,” Estraba said. “I know not everybody wants to do that, but when they try it, they’re like, ‘Oh, this is actually OK.’” If students complete two summer institutes or the equivalent and maintain a 2.5 grade point average, they qualify for a $4,000 scholarship. So far, Project GRAD has given $432,000 in scholarship funds. Project GRAD also sponsors tours to in-state universities, colleges and vocational schools. Staff works with students through application processes and mentor sstudents through college. Peterson said the program has shifted during the past five years to also provide outsidethe-classroom skills such as leadership, being comfortable in unfamiliar settings and people skills. “We work with schools where culture is very big

whether is a Native village or a Russian Old Believer village,” he said. “It’s always different when you pick up and go to school either in Anchorage or even just in Homer.” He said the program has worked on teaching more of the out-of-the-classroom skills with more weekend institutes. At the leadership institute students meet and learn from not only CEOs but also student leaders of University of Alaska Anchorage organizations. Through the career institute, Project GRAD students job shadow someone who works in the field they are possibly interested in perusing. At phlight club institute, students learn practical skills like building a support system, identifying strengths and giving back. While Project GRAD programs exist throughout the U.S., Project GRAD Kenai Peninsula is the only one in Alaska. In his 10 years with the program, Peterson said he has worked with some students since early elementary school and he’s enjoyed watching them grow. “It puts a smile on my face,” he said.

ment in Southeast Alaska bears a striking resemblance to that worn by the ancient Greeks as described in Homer’s “Iliad.” Fighting was close and hand-to-hand, with copper knives the primary tool. The blades jutted forward and backward, Joseph said, and were held in the middle. In place of a second blade, some of the knives had a blunt pummel, often carved in the form of an animal head. Other weapons included copper-tipped spears, war clubs with heavy bone heads and nasty-looking, laboriously carved jade spikes up to 16 inches long. “They were like a miner’s pick,” he said, “for whacking skulls.” Wood and leather served for armor. The most prominent piece — the one most commonly displayed in museums — was the helmet, of-

ten decorated with a human or animal face. It came down to the eyebrows. A bentwood neck collar was attached to the rear of the helmet and held in place with a mouthpiece clinched in the teeth. The body was protected with the heaviest of hides — moose, bear or sea lion, sometimes in multiple layers. Joseph has seen examples with hides as much as a half-inch thick. “It was like our modern day Kevlar,” he said. Vertical wooden slats were strapped to the leather, typically in top and bottom halves, some reaching halfway down the warrior’s legs, which could also be guarded with slat leggings. Musket balls could bounce off such armor, Joseph said. Joseph said some of what he discovered in his research came as a surprise. “We were told that war helmets were always, always made from a spruce burl,” he said. The rock-hard knot is difficult to split even with a maul. “But I found some that See CARVER, page A-11

good time. Wohlers said, after wandering the grounds for two hours and helping her five children with activities, she still hadn’t spent any money, which was a bonus. Other than food and local hand made artisan products, every thing at the festival was free. Festival Director Lisa Beranek said that people were coming out regardless of the less than desirable weather. “We’re Alaskans,” Beranek said. “We’re not afraid of the weather.” Beranek said Friday had one of the biggest opening nights she had seen in years. She said even community members who have lived in the area for decades were getting the chance to see Centennial Park, she said. People have been very positive about the new location. Upon entering the fairgrounds the stage is the first thing people see. Rows of food vendors and local craft booths lined the pathways leading festivalgoer’s closer to the river. Amy Pascucci, owner of the company Hearth, where she sells handmade bags and cases made of recycled materials, shared a booth with friend Jen-

nifer Curry who also makes reusable sacks with her company Meta Verde “It makes it a lot more fun to have someone to hangout with,” Pascucci said. Kathy Lopeman sat in a dim, blue-tinted tent surrounded by her fused glass pieces. Periodically she would invite passersby into her booth to chat and get out of the rain. “The festival is great for the exposure and the chance to talk to people,” Lopeman said. Eden Alioto and her brother Dominic Alioto said the rain didn’t bother them at all. Eden Alioto said it was just a lot of exercise running between their families Fishing Booth run by the River Covenant Church. As Eden Alioto sat in the Boys and Girls Club booth painting a flat wooden fish, green and red, she explained earlier that morning the two siblings ran in the Run for the River. “It was really tiring” Dominic Alioto said. Though the were tired, the two were still planning to cover each activity in the festival’s Kid’s Zone so they could win the chance at an iPad- a contest their older brother won two years ago.

ment. He is currently being held with no bail, pending arraignments. He is scheduled to be arraigned Friday in Anchorage, according to court documents. First degree sexual abuse of a minor is an unclassified felony and, if Anderson is convicted, he faces up to $500,000 in fines and 99 years in prison per charge. Trooper spokesperson Megan Peters wrote in an email that Anderson was arrested after being released from an Anchorage hospital — he was taken to the Anchorage jail. The charges against Anderson stem from a May 8 call to state troopers regarding a suicidal male and allegations that

Anderson had been sexually intimate with a female student. According to charging documents, Anderson is accused of having sex with a 15-year-old student on at least seven occasions between February and May 2014. Anderson, who has been with the Kenai Peninsula Borough School District since Aug. 14, 2012, was investigated by state troopers for having inappropriate conversations with the same student 11 months after he began teaching in the district. Anderson acknowledged at the time that he had been communicating with the student outside of school and that their conversations could “raise some concerns,” according to an affidavit filed by trooper investigator Jack LeBlanc, The school district was aware of those allegations

and the investigation that took place, according to a May email from Kenai Peninsula Borough School District spokesperson Pegge Erkeneff. Anderson continued as a music teacher in Nikiski and the student was in one of his classes at the high school before she told another teacher that Anderson had been having sex with her, according to charging documents. Erkeneff wrote in a May email that the school district had a record of how long the student had been in Anderson’s class, but cited the Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act, or FERPA, as a reason for not providing the information to the Clarion. Anderson was placed on administrative leave, or paid suspension, by the school district after the allegations surfaced.

Joseph was born in Ketchikan in 1964 and has lived in Sitka for most of his life. He said he became interested in traditional art when a carver

presented a workshop on making halibut hooks for his thirdgrade class. Last month it was Joseph who was teaching apprentices how to make such hooks at the Alaska Native Heritage Center. He was also working on a new war helmet at the center’s Southeast site. After his talk about battle gear this week, he’ll stay in Anchorage to do conservation

As of Friday, Anderson is still on administrative leave, Erkeneff said. He is no longer listed in the school district’s employee directory but Erkeneff said the directory was a list of “active email accounts,” and Anderson’s email and access to other accounts was deactivated when he was placed on leave. It is unclear when the employment status of Anderson, who currently draws a $52,576 salary from the district, will change — if at all. Erkeneff said his employment status was a human resources investigation and the school district was working with law enforcement, looking into labor laws and trying to ensure that Anderson gets due process. Reach Rashah McChesney at rashah.mcchesney@peninsulaclarion.com work on one of his poles that recently came into the museum’s possession. He doesn’t often come to Anchorage. Only coincidental gaps in timing with various other projects permitted him to make an extended visit this year. Among other things, his Sitka studio, Raindance Gallery, is slated for expansion, in part to accommodate the popular workshops he conducts there.

Run for the River draws 250 entrants By JOEY KLECKA Peninsula Clarion

Rain couldn’t deter an enthusiastic group of runners Saturday morning in downtown Soldotna, as 250 completed the Run for the River five-kilometer and 10-mile races. As part of the Kenai River Festival, the event was hosted by the Kenai Watershed Forum, a nonprofit. The men’s 10-miler saw the top two finishers break the hour mark. Rex Shields of Provo, Utah, won in 58 minutes, 32 seconds, while run-

ner-up Derek Gibson of Soldotna finished in 59:42. “I went out a little slower, and I was hanging behind him most of the day,” Shields said. “I caught up to him about mile eight.” Shields, 25, is living in Kenai for the summer for work, and said he plans on running the Rotary Unity 10-mile run in July, as well as the Mayor’s Midnight Sun Marathon on June 21. Gibson, 22, just recently moved to the area, but runs on the Mars Hill (North Carolina) University track

team and competes in 5,000 meters, 10,000 meters and steeplechase events. “I thought I went out too slow, but he was even slower,” Gibson said. “I didn’t expect him to catch me.” Nikiski’s Anna Widman won the women’s 10-miler with a time of 1:10:17. Widman said she was able to get into the famed Mt. Marathon race in Seward this year through the lottery, and Saturday’s race served as a bit of a warmup event. “I just was trying to keep the guys in view,” Widman said. “My plan

was to start slow and end fast, but I ended up running pretty even the whole way.” Mike Crawford, who organizes several races a year on the Tsalteshi Trails behind Skyview High School, won the 5K race in a time of 21:15. Race organizers noted that the course is likely a bit more than five kilometers (3.1 miles) and closer to 5.45 kilometers (almost 3.4 miles). “It went well, although my feet are hurting,” Crawford said. Crawford, who admitted he doesn’t usually run on pavement,

opting instead for the softer trails of Tsalteshi, said he signed up for Saturday’s race since Sunday’s Tri the Kenai triathlon was postponed to September 7, due to the fire incident command set up at Skyview High School. “That’s the only place that I run, so I’m used to lots of hills and lots of dirt,” Crawford said. “I considered doing the 10-mile, because I’m doing Lost Lake in August, but my legs aren’t ready for that much yet.” Soldotna High School runner OlSee RUN, page B-4

Kyle Richardson, head coach of the Peninsula Oilers baseball team, fixes home plate Saturday in order to prepare for the team’s Sunday season opener in Kenai.

Oilers ready to play ball Peninsula squad throws opening pitch on 2014 season today C

By JOEY KLECKA Peninsula Clarion

The field is green, the dirt is soft, the weather is nice, the players are here and so are the coaches. The only thing missing from Coral Seymour Memorial Park is the roof and walls of the grandstands. While the Peninsula Oilers organization continues to scramble to prepare the place in time for opening day, the feeling of normalcy has seemingly found its way back to the clubhouse and bullpen. Much of that has to do with the return of the actual baseball players, as a large chunk of the roster arrived Thursday evening from Anchorage. Fierce winds ripped the

roof and walls off the press box that sits center stage behind home plate a week ago, leaving general manager James Clark and head coach Kyle Richardson working to clean up, with a lot of additional help from volunteers. “It’s been tiring,” Richardson admitted. “It’s just been a lot of work getting the field ready, more than usual with the grandstand problem.” Richardson said he and Clark have worked 10-hour days since Monday, with some days going 13 hours long, but the organization plans on being ready for today, when the Oilers open their season at 2 p.m. with a nonleague game against the San Francisco Seals.

The Oilers will play the Seals four times in four days before taking on the Lake Erie (Michigan) Monarchs and the Oceanside (California) Waves four times each as well. Richardson said that even though the destruction caused by the high winds put preseason preparations behind schedule, the onfield product will not be affected. “I don’t want to involve (the players) at all with this mess,” Richardson said. “They’re here to focus on baseball, not to be a construction crew. If they have to help, they will, but we’re trying not to involve them. “We’ve tried to do as much as we can, we’ve gotten people from Wildwood (Correc-

tional Center) to help out us with the cleanup of the debris, but these guys, we’re just having them play.” Stacked on top of the work to clean up the mess the wind left is the addition of two newly formed divisions in the Alaska Baseball League. The American and National league divisions have now taken the six ABL teams and grouped them into two divisions of three teams each. The Oilers are in the American league with the Alaska Goldpanners of Fairbanks and the Anchorage Bucs, while the Anchorage Glacier Pilots, Mat-Su Miners and Chugiak-Eagle River Chinooks make up the National league.

After a spirited run at one of the top softball teams in the state, the Homer Mariners fell just shy of competing for another small-schools state championship. Instead, the Mariners settled for third place at the Alaska School Activities Association state softball tournament after nearly toppling Juneau-Douglas in the semifinals Saturday afternoon at Cartee Fields in Anchorage. Juneau went on to win the small-schools state championship, beating Ketchikan 9-4. “You know, the way our season started off, to go from 0-13 to third at state is satisfying,” said Homer coach Bill Bell. “We can’t wait for next year.” Homer finished third for the second consecutive year. In a double-elimination bracket format, Homer had to play its way through a 9 a.m. game Saturday morning just to get a chance in the semifinals. Juneau-Douglas 13, Homer 5 Homer led 5-2 as late as the sixth inning, but the Crimson Bears poured on the offense in the sixth and seventh innings to advance to the championship game. Starting pitcher McKi Needham was ejected in the bottom of the third for “malicious contact” at home plate. “She’s our No. 1, so not having her hurt us,” Bell said. After Riley Walls scored on a single from Larsen Fellows, Needham scored on a bunt from

Kayla Stafford to give Homer a 2-0 lead. However, the umpire took exception to Needham’s home plate move. Interestingly enough, it may have improved Homer’s situation. After Bell put JV pitcher Jordan Raymond in to replace Needham, the slower speed of Raymond’s pitches threw off Juneau’s batters. “We were playing really well, it was probably our best game all year,” Bell said. “It was so satisfying, especially after being beaten by them yesterday.” The change resulted in no runs from Juneau until the fourth inning, and only two until the sixth. “Her pitching was slowing them up and giving them ground balls,” Bell said. Bell put Pam Jantzi in for Raymond after one inning, but Raymond came back after Juneau knocked in a couple runs off Jantzi. Needham was replaced in the batting lineup by Kyle Pitzman. Isabel Beach reached base on a Juneau error in the fourth inning, which allowed Walls to score for a 3-2 Homer lead. Homer added to its lead in the bottom of the fifth with a steal of home plate by Stafford and a double from Maggie LaRue that scored Mary Hanna Bowe. Heading into the sixth inning, Homer led 5-2, but the Mariners began committing errors. Sami Good and Rachelle Roldon scored on an error from Walls on a Kaitlyn Fagerstorm hit, then Andrea Gordon doubled to center field that brought See HOMER, page B-4

Kings come back to topple Rangers in OT GREG BEACHAM AP Sports Writer

LOS ANGELES — The comeback Kings did it again in the Stanley Cup finals, and this one was doubly impressive. Captain Dustin Brown redirected Willie Mitchell’s shot 10:26 into the second overtime, and the Los Angeles Kings outlasted the New York Rangers 5-4 Saturday night to take a 2-0 series lead. Marian Gaborik tied it with 12:24 left in regulation for the Kings, who rallied from another two-goal deficit in their latest exhibition of clutch comeback hockey.

Rallying from a two-goal deficit for the fourth time in their past five games, they still moved halfway to a series victory and their second Stanley Cup championship in three years. “It’s not the place we want to be, to have to climb out all the time,” said Mitchell, who also scored his first playoff goal in more than two years. “Sooner or later, it is going to bite you. I guess that’s the great part about it is we find a way to battle back. We’ve got some work to do again.” Game 3 is Monday night at Madison Square Garden. In their third straight overtime game, the Kings traded scoring chances with New York in

two nail-biting overtime periods before Mitchell teed up a long shot. Brown deflected it under Henrik Lundqvist’s glove arm, ending the longest finals game in Rangers history and nearly the longest playoff game in Kings history. “You want to create what we call noise there,” Mitchell said. “Hank plays so deep in his net, and if you can get some traffic and throw some pucks at the net when a guy plays deep like that, sometimes you’re lucky enough to get one past a world-class goalie.” The Kings are making their own remarkable brand of noise, all right. They haven’t led during any of their past three games, going to overtime

each night, but they still finished off Chicago in the Western Conference finals and took a big series lead on the Rangers, who twice fell agonizingly short. “When you play five periods, the difference is not very big between winning and losing,” Lundqvist said. “We came up short, and now we have to go back to New York and turn this thing around.” Lundqvist made 39 saves for New York, and Jonathan Quick had 34 for Los Angeles. Both goalies made a handful of stellar overtime stops. Lundqvist and the Rangers were furious about See NHL, Page B-4

Triple Crown drought continues BETH HARRIS AP Racing Writer

NEW YORK — California Chrome failed in his bid to win the first Triple Crown in 36 years on Saturday, losing the Belmont Stakes to 9-1 long shot Tonalist. The Kentucky Derby and Preakness winner finished in a dead-heat for fourth with Wicked Strong. California Chrome’s loss extended the longest drought without a Triple Crown champion. Three tough races in five weeks proved too demanding for California Chrome, who was sent off as the heavy 4-5 favorite by tens of thousands packed into Belmont Park on an 80-de-

gree day, hoping to see history. Affirmed remains the most recent Triple Crown winner in 1978. The raucous crowd was silenced when it became obvious that California Chrome lacked his usual punch in the stretch. Jockey Victor Espinoza realized long before then that his chestnut colt wasn’t up to the grueling 1 ½-mile trip around the track’s sweeping turns. “As soon as he came out of the gate, he wasn’t the same,” Espinoza said. Tonalist was a fresh and rested horse making his debut on the Triple Crown trail. He last ran and won the Peter Pan Stakes on the same Belmont dirt on May 10. That irked California Chrome co-

owner Steve Coburn, who had said after the Preakness that horses should be required to run in all three Triple Crown races. “It’s all or nothing,” he said. “This is not fair to these horses and to the people that believe in them. This is the coward’s way out.” Tonalist beat Commissioner, another newcomer to the Triple Crown, by a head. Those two horses finished in the same order in the Peter Pan. Tonalist ran the distance in 2:28.52 and paid $20.40, $9.60 and $7. Commissioner returned $23.20 and $13.20, while Medal Count was another length back in third and paid $13.20 to show.

Altidore scores 2 in send-off JACKSONVILLE, Fla. (AP) — Jozy Altidore insists his sixmonth scoreless streak never bothered him. No sleepless nights. No feelings of frustration. Not even a bit of worry it would stretch into the World Cup. His coach believes otherwise. Whatever the case, Altidore and the United States won’t have to deal with that story line in Brazil. Altidore scored a pair of goals to lead the United States over Nigeria 2-1 Saturday night in the Americans’ World Cup send-off match. Altidore tapped in Fabian Johnson’s cross in the 31st minute on a play that started with an Alejandro Bedoya run, stopping a 27-match scoreless streak for club and country with his first goal since Dec. 4 for Sunderland

against Chelsea. “To be honest, it makes no difference,” Altidore said. “I don’t know if it’s weird to you, but it’s not weird to me. I’ve played for this team for such a long time that I think it’s my responsibility to kind of help the team in other ways, tracking back and just being somebody now that the other guys can look up to. And I take that very serious.” He doubled the lead in the 68th, running onto Michael Bradley’s looping 30-yard pass over the defense. Altidore took a touch with each foot as he cut inside of Nigeria captain Joseph Yobo, then beat goalkeeper Vincent Enyeama to the near post with a right-footed shot from 12 yards for his 23rd international goal. “The second goal was world class, no doubt about it,” U.S.

coach Jurgen Klinsmann said. “You heard the other coaches of the last friendlies, especially the Turkish coach who said, ‘This (guy) is a handful.’ Hopefully we can keep him as a handful going down to Brazil now.” Klinsmann stopped short of calling Altidore’s performance a much-needed boost but said it was “a wonderful message” and gave the player “a big smile at the right time now.” “I think it will give him a lot of confidence,” Klinsmann said. “It’s always a tough period when you don’t score for a striker. And everybody around you let’s you know that. You get more and more anxious about the situation. ... You work harder and harder, which he did the last three-and-ahalf weeks in camp. ... And then you just wish, you know, that the moment comes and you put it in

there and you go start to be your old self again. “But you’ve got to go through that working process. That’s what I always told him, ‘You’re not getting it for free. You’ve got to go and work for it.’ He got sharper and sharper, fitter and fitter. We knew that if he gets the chances, he will put one in.” The U.S. was undefeated in its send-off series for the first time since it started in 2002, beating the African champions following a 2-0 victory over Azerbaijan and a 2-1 win over Turkey. Making their seventh straight World Cup appearance, the Americans head to Brazil on Sunday night and open June 16 against Ghana, the team that eliminated them from the last two tournaments. They follow with games against fourth-ranked Portugal and second-ranked Germany.

Area track athletes post wins in Kodiak Homer’s Aurora Waclawski and Kenai Central’s Jordan Theisen notched victories at the Brian Young Invitational this weekend in Kodiak. Waclawski got her victory in the 800 meters, running 2 minutes, 21.14 seconds. West Valley’s Brooke Gottmeier was second at 2:21.54. Theisen’s victory in the 3,200 also was a close one. He ran 9:40.52, while Derek Steele of South was .02 behind. In the 1,600, Jordan Theisen was second at 4:21.95, while Jonah Theisen was third at 4:23.00. Kodiak’s Levi Thomet won at 4:17.86. In the 800, Thomet won at 1:57.62, while Jonah Theisen was at 1:58.86 and Skyview’s Micah Hilbish was fifth at 1:59.91. Also from the Peninsula, Nikiski’s Kerry Ross was 10th at 14.06 in the 100 and ninth at 28.41 in the 200, Hilbish was fourth in the 400 at 52.46, Waclawski was fifth in the 400 at 1:01.68, Homer’s Molly Mitchell was fifth in the 1,600 at 5:17.06 and fifth in the 3,200 at 11:28.10, Seward’s Tannen Berry was sixth in the 110 hurdles at 17.90 and sixth in the 300 hurdles at 44.06, Cook Inlet Academy’s Zach Taplin was fifth in the shot put at 43 feet, 3.5 inches, and third in the discus at 135—9, Kenai’s Kiana Harding was fifth in the high jump at 4—10, and Nikiski’s Seth Carstens was fifth in the high jump at 5—8 and sixth in the long jump at 19—6 1-2. A non-Peninsula highlight of the meet came from Glennallen freshman Briahna Gerlach. Two weekends ago, Kenai Central junior broke Kristi Klinnert’s 1986 state-meet record of 10:37.7 in the 3,200 with a time of 10:13.87. Those records can only be set at the state meet, but Gerlach came close to Klinnert’s time with a 10:37.87 at the meet in Kodiak. Although Gerlach is a small-schools runner and Ostrander is a big-schools runner, Gerlach’s showing raises the possibility that another prep runner in the state is in at least the same ballpark as Ostrander.

Cotto stops Martinez NEW YORK — Miguel Cotto became the first Puerto Rican fighter to win world championships in four weight divisions, stopping Sergio Martinez in their WBC world middleweight title fight Saturday night. Martinez didn’t get off the stool when the bell rang for the 10th round. Cotto improved to 39-4 and is 8-1 at Madison Square Garden. Martinez fell to 51-3-2. In the week leading up to the fight, Cotto’s trainer, Freddie Roach, said his pupil would be able to use his footwork to control the fight, and still possessed power even though he moved up in weight class. Cotto proved Roach right from the opening bell, knocking down Martinez twice in the first round with a flurry of body shots. As the fight progressed, Cotto pressured Martinez around the ring, and attacked when openings were presented.

Crane leads in Memphis MEMPHIS, Tenn. —Ben Crane went more than 28 hours between competitive shots due to weather delays, and he had a fourstroke lead Saturday when another storm stopped play again at the St. Jude Classic. Crane birdied his first hole and was 13 under overall through six holes at rain-softened TPC Southwind. he opened with rounds of 63 and 65. Troy Merritt, a group ahead of Crane, was at 9 under, with playing partner Peter Malnati at 8 under. Billy Horschel, Retief Goosen and Camilo Villegas were at 7 under on their front nines. Phil Mickelson, who hasn’t won in 19 straight events dating to the British Open, had pars on each of his first nine holes and was at 5 under. He’s using the event to tune up for the U.S. Open next week at Pinehurst.

Sources: Shelly Sterling still has role LOS ANGELES — Los Angeles Clippers co-owner Shelly Sterling would continue to play a role in the team under terms of the pending sale to former Microsoft CEO Steve Ballmer, according to two individuals close to the negotiations. The individuals, who are not authorized to speak publicly, told The Associated Press that the $2 billion deal allows for up to 10 percent of the team — or $200 million — to be spun off into a charitable foundation that Shelly Sterling would essentially run. The deal was negotiated by Shelly Sterling after husband Donald Sterling’s racist remarks to a girlfriend were publicized and the NBA moved to oust him as team owner. — The Associated Press

Cardinals’ Miller cools off Blue Jays By The Associated Press

TORONTO — Shelby Miller took a no-hit bid into the sixth inning and finished with a three-hit shutout as the St. Louis Cardinals beat Toronto 5-0 Saturday, snapping the Blue Jays’ sixgame winning streak. Randal Grichuk hit his first career home run in the Cardinals’ third win in 11 games. Miller (7-5) struck out five and walked one. He retired the first 13 batters before walking Adam Lind in the fifth. ANGELS 6, WHITE SOX 5 ANAHEIM, Calif. — Mike Trout hit a game-tying grand slam in the bottom of the eighth, Josh Hamilton had three hits and scored the go-ahead run, and Los Angeles erased five-run deficit to beat Chicago. Chicago starter Chris Sale took a threehit shutout into the eighth and the White Sox held a commanding 5-0 lead. Erick Aybar led off the eighth with a double and scored on Chris Iannetta’s single, and after an error and another single loaded the bases, Trout hit a full-count changeup over the left-center field fence to tie it. Aybar stroked a two-out RBI single later in the inning, and Ernesto Frieri closed it out for the Angels. The grand slam was Trout’s only hit of the game. He has a hit in 14 of his last 15 games and has reached base in 26 of his last 27.

DIAMONDBACKS 4, BRAVES 3 PHOENIX — Gerardo Parra’s bloop single brought Cody Ross home from second in the 11th inning to lift Arizona to victory. One night after he set the Braves franchise record for career saves, Craig Kimbrel blew his third of the season in 19 opportunities. The Diamondbacks were 0 for 12 with runners in scoring position before Aaron Hill’s pinch-hit double off Kimbrel down the right field line scored Ender Inciarte from second to tie it at 2-2.

Russia’s Maria Sharapova celebrates scoring a point in the last set during final of the French Open tennis tournament against Romania’s Simona Halep at the Roland Garros stadium in Paris, France, Saturday.

Sharapova survives HOWARD FENDRICH AP Tennis Writer

PARIS — Nothing came easily for Maria Sharapova in the French Open final. Serves hit by her surgically repaired shoulder often missed the mark, resulting in 12 double-faults. Shots that would be winners against most opponents were retrieved by Simona Halep and sent right back. Leads that usually hold up vanished in a blink. On a muggy afternoon, with the temperature in the high 70s (20s Celsius), points were lung-searing struggles. Sharapova was up to the task. In an entertaining and undulating championship match — the first women’s final at Roland Garros in 13 years to go three

sets — Sharapova showed that she’s as tough as they come, particularly on the red clay that used to flummox her. She edged Halep 6-4, 6-7 (5), 6-4 Saturday to win a second French Open title in three years. “This is the toughest Grand Slam final I’ve ever played,” Sharapova said. It is her fifth major trophy in all. Remarkably, Sharapova owns twice as many from Paris as the one each she won at Wimbledon in 2004, the U.S. Open in 2006, and the Australian Open in 2008. “If somebody had told me ... at some stage in my career, that I’d have more Roland Garros titles than any other Grand Slam, I’d probably go get drunk,” Sharapova said with a chuckle. “Or tell them to get drunk. One

or the other.” The 3-hour, 2-minute tangle featured too many momentum swings to count, filled with lengthy baseline exchanges, and terrific defense and shotmaking by both women. Not bad for someone who once famously described herself as feeling like a “cow on ice” when it came to playing on clay, a slow, demanding surface that requires excellent footwork. Now Sharapova knows how to move on clay, and can stretch points when needed. Since the start of 2012, Sharapova is 54-4 with seven titles on clay. She’s also won 20 consecutive clay three-setters, including four in a row this week. “It says that she’s very fit. It says that she’s very deter-

mined,” said Sven Groenefeld, Sharapova’s coach. “And it says that she never gives up.” Sharapova broke into a huge smile while hoisting the trophy overhead, then shaking it with both hands and scanning a stadium that, improbably, has become hers. This was her third final in a row in Paris: She won the 2012 title to complete a career Grand Slam, then lost last year to Serena Williams, who bowed out in the second round this time. Sharapova is 20-1 the last three years at Roland Garros — which is nothing compared to Rafael Nadal’s 65-1 career French Open mark heading into Sunday’s final Sunday against Novak Djokovic, but certainly quite impressive.

SAN ANTONIO — The teams with the best 3-point percentage so far in these playoffs are San Antonio and Miami, so it might seem logical to think that the Spurs and Heat love the long-range game. It would also be wrong. “I hate it,” Spurs coach Gregg Popovich said of the 3. “We are not just a perimeter team,” Heat coach Erik Spoelstra insisted. Love it or hate it, the Spurs and Heat know how to use it, anyway. The 3-pointer is getting fired more than ever these days, and there’s some easy correlations to draw between San Antonio and Miami being good from long range and being the last two teams standing on the NBA playoff bracket for the second straight year. San Antonio — which was the league’s most accurate team from 3-point range during the regular season, the third time in four years that it’s held that distinction — is shooting an NBA-best 40 percent from beyond the arc so far in the playoffs. Miami is right behind the Spurs, shooting 39.7 percent. It seems likely that both teams will be looking to add to those totals Sunday night, when the Spurs host the Heat in Game 2 of the NBA Finals. “To me it’s not basketball, but you’ve got to use it,” Popovich said Saturday. “If you don’t use it, you’re in big trouble. But you sort of feel like it’s cheating. You know, like two points, that’s what you get when you make a basket. Now you get three, so you’ve got to deal with it. I don’t think there’s anybody who is not dealing with it.” He’s right. It’s an absolute staple of the NBA game now, more than ever. Teams shot just under 53,000

3-pointers this season, smashing the NBA yearlong record set last season by nearly 4,000 attempts. It’s becoming nearly as prevalent as the free throw; teams shot 1.09 free throws for every 3-pointer tried this season, as opposed to the 1.62-1 ratio in that department merely a decade ago. “Pop’s a pretty smart guy,” said Spurs guard Danny Green, who set a record for most 3s made during a Finals series a year ago against the Heat. “Even though he hates it, he knows it’s a thing that you need to be successful in this league.” So Popovich studied the numbers, as has Spoelstra, as has everyone else in the league. The corner 3-pointer — like the Ray Allen one that kept San Antonio from winning the title last season — is all the rage in the NBA these days, and it’s a huge part of the game plans drawn up in San Antonio and Miami. “The analytics, people really study this stuff now, stuff is broken down that I don’t even understand,” said Atlanta’s Kyle Korver, one of the league’s best 3-point shooters. “I think it is practiced more, it is shot more efficiently than it was 10, 20 years ago. It has just become a real weapon. Every team needs it with the way the NBA is going. ... So much of the game is about spacing. And to have good spacing you’ve got to have good shooting.” The Spurs and Heat have both. San Antonio was 13 for 25 from 3-point range in Game 1; Miami was 12 for 29. A year ago the teams combined for 298 3-point tries in their sevengame series; at their current pace, they’d fire off 378 if this series also goes the maximum distance.

Johnson looks to keep victories going at Pocono DAN GELSTON AP Sports Writer

LONG POND, Pa. — Matt Kenseth furrowed his brow at the mere suggestion Jimmie Johnson had spiraled toward a slump. Only a chump would count out the champ after an 0 for 11 start. “I don’t think anybody else was really being like, ‘Oh man, Jimmie’s finally not winning. This is our shot, he’s done,’” Kenseth said. “It doesn’t surprise me at all that he won those two races and it wouldn’t surprise me at all if he wins this weekend.” Coming off consecutive wins in the Coca-Cola 600 and at Dover, Johnson stormed into Pocono Raceway trying to become the first driver to win three straight since 2007. The last driver

to threepeat? Johnson, of course. He steamrolled to five straight victories in 2007 en route to 10 total and the second of five straight championships. He won his sixth last season and has stamped himself as a heavy favorite to add a record-tying seventh title. He’s certainly at the right track to make it 3 for 3: Johnson has three career wins at Pocono, including a dominant victory last June. “We can swing for the fences here, which makes that a lot of fun,” Johnson said. It’s tough to guess what made it tougher for the rest of the field — a winless Johnson on a determined hunt for the first checkered flag or the No. 48 Chevrolet on a winning streak and wanting more. “(The media) asked me before if I

was worried about Jimmie because he was on a losing streak,” Carl Edwards said. “I am worried about him now for the opposite reason.” Johnson’s two wins make him a lock for the Chase for the Sprint Cup championship field, which means he can use what’s left of the season before the final 10 races as sort of a test session to fine-tune his setups on the 48. Crew chief Chad Knaus has always been at his best with time to prepare. Johnson’s six championships are behind only Richard Petty and Dale Earnhardt’s record seven titles. Knaus trails only Hall of Fame crew chief Dale Inman, who won eight championships — seven with Petty and one with Terry Labonte. Here are five things to know for Sunday’s race: C

THAT’S GOTTA BE KAHNE: Kasey Kahne is winless, has only one top five and is mired in 18th in the standings. He starts 27th on Sunday, one more sign that he won’t turn his year around at Pocono Raceway. Kahne, a two-time winner at Pocono, met for an extended lunch this week with crew chief Kenny Francis to discuss the No. 5 Chevrolet’s woes. “Sometimes not talking, neither of us get too upset at each other, I see that kind of hurting you at times,” Kahne said. “Maybe you need to get it out there and talk about it.” HEATING UP: Miami and the Spurs had to play Game 1 of the NBA Finals in a near heat wave when the air conditioning went out in San Antonio. Edwards said it’s just as uncomfortable inside a steamy stock car for several

hours each Sunday. “At Dover during the race, I was lifting my heels off the floor on the straightaway because it was burning my heels,” Edwards said. “Everybody does that all the time but the first few times you realize, ‘Wow, I think my heel is burning.’ You don’t realize everything in the car is that hot.” BUSCH’S START: Kurt Busch can be thankful his win at Martinsville all but assured him a spot in the Chase because the rest of his season has been close to a disaster with only two top 10s and five DNFs. Busch, who was sixth in the Indianapolis 500 in a failed attempt at The Double, hoped his front-row qualifying run at Pocono Raceway could spark his season. He starts behind Denny Hamlin on Sunday.

That means the Oilers will play the Goldpanners and Bucs 10 times each this summer, but will face the Pilots, Miners and Chinooks only five times each. “It’s weird,” Richardson said. “So when you’re looking at it, it’s the Bucs and the Panners, but you also can’t drop those games against the Chinooks or the Pilots or the Miners.” Because there are only three teams in each division, Richardson said the Oilers are shooting for a .500 or better record. For example, a 6-4 mark against a divisional opponent would stand a good chance of winning the division since that opponent will be two games behind the Oilers and will need to make up the deficit elsewhere. “It’s going to be a war of attrition,” Richardson said. “I don’t really see one team going 8-2 or 10-0. It’ll be closer to .500. If you can go 7-3, I

think that’ll put you way ahead in the standings. “And if we take care of business outside our division, we’ll be OK.” The Oilers will start their ABL schedule June 23 with a weeklong roadtrip against the Bucs, followed by two games at the Glacier Pilots and a Sunday doubleheader against the Goldpanners on June 29. The first ABL home game won’t be until July 1, when the Oilers take on the Chinooks in a three-game series. The ABL showcase games in Anchorage are scheduled for the weekend of July 18 to 20, with the last day set for the ABL Home Run Derby and AllStar Game. “I feel like we’re going to have a lot of fun this summer, and that’s what this is about,” Richardson said. The second-year head coach, who is an assistant coach at the University of Nevada, Reno, said he learned a lot from his first go-round in 2013, which he hopes will help him prepare better for 2014. “We had a lot of tight ballgames

where something didn’t go our way and it would stick with me for a day,” Richardson said. “I would go out to the field upset from yesterday and try to motivate the guys to do better today. It’s baseball, it happens, and you gotta let the past go.” There are currently 11 pitchers, seven infielders, four outfielders and two catchers on the 2014 Oilers roster, but there are exactly zero players returning from last year, and as a brand-new team, Richardson has only a foggy idea of what the team will look like. A few players went to the Cape Cod League. Names such as Andre Mercurio and Sam Moore. Mercurio was the leadoff hitter for the Oilers last summer, and Moore recently broke the Big West single-season saves record with 21, playing for UC Irvine in California. “They’re all young,” Richardson described. “We have a lot of true freshman, but a lot of talent. “Compared to last year, I’d say we’re gonna be more offensive, but I don’t know how consistent it’s going

fornia Chrome had no response. “I thought he was gaining ground, but he didn’t have it in him, apparently,” Coburn said. Tonalist joined the growing list of Triple Crown spoilers, making California Chrome the 12th horse since Affirmed to lose his Triple try in the Belmont, the longest race in the series. Trained by Frenchman Christophe Clement and ridden by Joel Rosario, Tonalist was making just his fifth career start. “We actually thought he finished second, but we got lucky, he won,” Clement said. “It was great.” The defeat snapped California Chrome’s six-race winning streak. His rise from a humble pedigree and his working-stiff

to be. You never know, but these guys are hungry, they’re young, and it’s going to be interesting.” The 2014 squad will also be sporting a bigger look as well. “They’re huge,” Richardson said. “When they came off the plane, I felt like midget. So we have size, we have physical bodies this year, more than last year. “Hopefully it translates to power.” Nine of the 11 pitchers on the current roster are listed at 6-foot-2 or taller, with Soldotna product Mitchell Daugherty topping the charts at 6-6. In fact, 15 of the 24 players are listed at 6-2 or higher. Infielder Ethan McGill is the oldest player at 22 years old, and Daugherty is the youngest at 18. “We have guys that can swing it that won’t be mainstays in our lineup, but they’re going to be contributors in spots that you don’t normally get production from,” Richardson said. On the mound, Jeff Paschke of USC will probably see time as a closer, and Sean Mason of Appalachian State will

owners resonated with sports fans who rarely take an interest in horse racing. California Chrome’s owners spent $8,000 on a mare they bred to a stallion for $2,500, and were called “dumb asses” by a trainer for buying a mare who gave no indication that she could produce a standout offspring who could run fast. Conditions seemed aligned for the Triple Crown drought to end. California Chrome seemed to thrive during his threeweek stay at Belmont Park. His chestnut coat gleamed and he gained weight after the Preakness on May 17. His owners, trainer and jockey oozed confidence. And so did the bettors, who made him the overwhelming favorite in the Belmont. But this fairy tale didn’t have a happy ending.

Members on the Los Angeles Kings, right, celebrate a game-winning goal by right wing Dustin Brown as Rangers goalie Henrik Lundqvist, left, of Sweden, looks on in the second overtime period in Game 2 of the NHL hockey Stanley Cup Finals on Saturday in Los Angeles. The Kings won 5-4.

Los Angeles’ third goal. Dwight King got the comeback rolling when Matt Greene’s slap shot hit him and went in while King fell on top of Lundqvist, who thought an interference penalty should have been called. “I’m extremely disappointed on that call — or non-call,” Lundqvist said. “I mean, they’ve got to be consistent with that rule. ... They score a goal, and I can’t even move. It’s extremely frustrating for them to get life like that. After that, it’s a differ-

ent game.” Jarret Stoll also scored for the Kings, who made up for a mistake-filled performance with their usual big finish. Mats Zuccarello and Derick Brassard had a goal and an assist apiece for the Rangers, who had three two-goal leads in Game 2. Ryan McDonagh and Martin St. Louis also scored, but New York couldn’t finish another strong effort. The Rangers are heading home in a big hole in their quest for their first Stanley Cup title in 20 years. But despite their propensity for blowing leads, they’ve also proven this series won’t be a walkover for the

Fagerstorm in to score the tying run. The go-ahead run came when Gracie Meiners let loose a double to left field that brought Gordon home, putting Juneau up 6-5. In the seventh inning, Meiners hit a two-run double, Emma Good hit a two-run single, and Sophie Hultberg added a home run to give Juneau an oppressive lead. “We had one inning with a couple errors,” Bell conceded. “Our defense was really solid, but Juneau was just hitting line drivers to the outfield.” Overall, Juneau outhit Homer 13-6. Five Juneau players recorded two hits apiece. For Homer, LaRue hit 2 for 2 with an RBI. Homer 13, Kodiak 5 Earlier in the day, Homer got the

deep, experienced Kings. After testing the Kings throughout the opener, New York played its smart, counterattacking style to great effect in Game 2, only to fall victim to another momentum-draining comeback. The Kings fell behind 2-0 in the first period for the second straight game, and they trailed 4-2 entering the third period before King’s disputed goal. McDonagh then gave the puck to Gaborik in front, and the Kings’ late-season acquisition beat Lundqvist for his 13th goal of a phenomenal postseason. Neither team played cautiously in overtime, trading good scoring chances and three

better of its Northern Lights Conference rival in a blowout win. “We just wanted to show to them, that even though we were tied in the conference, we were the better team,” Bell said. Beach, Fellows, Needham, LaRue and Lauren Kuhns each provided two hits. Beach and LaRue also batted in two runs, and Beach knocked out a triple. Needham went six innings on the mound, giving up four hits and two runs (none earned), and striking out two. Malina Fellows finished up the final inning with one hit, one earned run and one strikeout. Not only did Kodiak commit eight errors, but Homer outhit the Bears 145. “It’s definitely a good rivalry,” Bell said. “They have real nice kids and nice coaches, and we make it a point to play with them.” Homer scored a run in each of the first two innings. Walls’ single brought LaRue home to put Homer up on the board first, and Bowe scored in the second after tagging up.

fruitless power plays in the first extra period. King nearly ended it with a short-handed one-timer, and Chris Kreider failed to score on a breakaway. After blowing a 2-0 lead in the opener, New York had three different two-goal leads in Game 2. The Kings still came roaring back. McDonagh scored on a long slap shot and assisted on Zuccarello’s tap-in goal in the first period, quieting the Los Angeles crowd. Stoll scored on a broken play early in the second after King jumped on Brad Richards’ turnover, but St. Louis answered with his first goal of the finals on a power play.

Homer then scored two runs in both the fourth and fifth innings, one in the sixth and ended with four runs in the seventh. Kodiak scored four runs in the sixth inning and one in the seventh. FRIDAY The Homer softball team survived day one with two wins and a loss. Homer 17, Hutchison 1 In their opening game Friday, the Mariners crushed the Hawks with a dominating performance, going errorfree while Hutchison committed four. Beach led Homer in hitting, going 3 for 3 with four RBIs and three runs. On the mound, McKi Needham went all 3 1-3 innings with four hits, one strikeout and zero walks. Needham and Maggie LaRue also had two hits each. Homer scored four runs in each of the first two innings to establish an early lead, getting runs from a basesloaded walk by Beach, a ground ball from Lauren Kuhns, and a passed ball C

also add depth to the bullpen. “I have no idea what they’re gonna do, and that’s where I think we’ll have the possibility to be the most inconsistent,” he said. “But I think our bullpen will be solid. They’ll throw strikes and get guys out, and be able to close out a lead once we get it.” Richardson added that Mason threw a complete game against Clemson but lost 2-1 on the road this year, while teammate Dallas Devrieze has “shut down some of the best teams on the East Coast.” Even if the team isn’t quite on the same page yet on the field, it can be assured they will be soon. Richardson noted that on the bus ride from Anchorage last Thursday, the group had already broken the ice and were well on their way to teammate status. “I was actually surprised on the bus ride home, they were talking up a storm at the back of the bus,” Richardson said. “Usually, everybody’s tired after flying in, so at least we have a couple guys that are trying to mingle everybody and unite us.”

U nhinged A laska N ick Varney

What’s next, Godzilla?

K, I get it. We needed a serious change in the weather to put a smack down on the Funny River wildfire and so when the clouds finally rolled in like a sky full of sprinklers almost everyone’s blood pressure and anxiety levels backed off a bit, except for my buddy Turk’s. Although Turk’s little homestead wasn’t threatened by the conflagration, he had been more nervous than an IRS administrator waiting to testify in front of an investigatory subcommittee because of the tinder dry terrain surrounding his cabin. His morale rose with the first light rains but then suddenly early one morning he called so torched that I thought the phone cord would melt. “Yo Nick, I’m on my cell. Can you hear that scraping? That’s me shoveling &*^%$* snow off my deck and the wind’s so cold that my dog’s can’t do their duty because their sphincters are frozen shut. Where in the %#$* did this come from?” I wasn’t quite sure what he was talking about other than there had been a righteous wind storm during the night and it had unloaded rain like a bucket drop from a helicopter on a hot spot. I moseyed over to the front windows, drew the curtains, and stared out across the bay at fresh snow on the mountains that looked to be at around the two thousand foot level. “Well Turk, you picked your place for its view. It looks like you overshot your perfect location by 1500 feet. What can I say? It’ll be gone before the day’s over.” I heard a massive snort, a colorful litany of profanity that probably steamed the snow off his deck and then a long silence. Finally, a very controlled voice suggested that I might want to get my butt up there and help him check the garden and green houses that we had been prepping or the only fresh veggies I’d be munching this summer were herbs from pots in our kitchen window. It turned out most everything survived the freak storm and Turk had acutely overstated the condition of his mutts. I must admit that Mother Nature’s decision to lay it on a little thick had our flowers shivering and people were mowing their lawns layered in long johns after a subsequent parching wind muscled through the area. The arid rush of air turned out to be nothing more than a one day dry sneeze. The next morning M.N. emptied her Jacuzzi on us with a hint that, if we got surly about it, she’d follow up with a serving of thunder storms along with a side bucket of super sized hail. We didn’t. She didn’t. Enough said. Before closing out this month’s discourse, I want to convey something that happened over the weekend that was critical cool. I was cruising the Homer Spit gathering tips, tales and catch information for my weekly fishing report series when I spotted very familiar motorhome that I haven’t seen in years. It was my old friend John Bubba Billy Joe Langtree and his bride of forty years, Buela. They use to travel to Alaska from Moot Point, Ark. every summer after Bill Clinton moved out of the state and they were comfortable enough to leave their 18-something daughters home alone. Their housing-complex on wheels was parked adjacent to a viewing platform and looked much the same except it now sported two satellite dishes and an expanded south wing. Unfortunately, they weren’t at home but a tonof-fun Rottweiler was and it made it very clear to me if he was able to get out, he would turn me into the consistency of a pile of unprocessed Yummy Chummy snack paste while drooling enough to support a small salmon run. I knew it couldn’t be their old beast, Cannibal, because he’d be so elderly by now that he’d fart dust if he could take a breath. My suspicions were confirmed when I noticed a sign above the door stating, “Dracula doesn’t bite. He inhales.” So much for Cannibal … I left a note on the pullout porch-n-lawn advising them that I had stopped by and apologized for highly annoying their cur. I added that I hoped he hadn’t been so frustrated by missing a shot at me that he devoured a rather large leather sectional he had been eyeing upon my departure. They called later in the evening a said they were headed out to a secluded lodge in the morning and would be back in ten days to throw a fresh fish barbecue. When I broached the subject of Dracula, they just laughed and said they were leaving him with friends in Homer who own some Rotts and that he’ll have a great time. Well, that’s nice but if livestock and other large mammals start to go missing in the area, I’m calling those friends first to see if that tank with teeth has made a successful break for it. If so, I’m ratting him out to the nearest outfit with a Predator drone. Still, Drac and all, it’s nice to see old friends return for another season. Nick can be reached at ncvarney@gmail.com if he isn’t busy trying on dog attack training suits before the barbecue.

Study: At-home dads down slightly since the recession NEW YORK The number of U.S. fathers home with their kids full-time is down, from a peak 2.2 million in 2010, the official end of the recession, to about 2 million in 2012, according to a report released Thursday by the Pew Research Center. The slight decrease in their ranks from 2010 to 2012 was driven chiefly by employment gains since the recession eased, the report said, defining stay-at-home fathers as those not employed for

dads, 35 percent, said they were home due to illness or disability. Roughly 23 percent said it was mainly because they couldn’t find a job, and 21 percent said it was specifically to care for home or family, the researchers noted, relying on census and other government data. By contrast, 1.1 million men were at-home dads in 1989, the earliest year reliable government figures are available for the sector. C

Life is just comparing the lists

ave you been caught up in graduations this spring? Did you have a child, a grandchild, a sibling wear the cap and gown and switch the tassel? With our granddaughter Emily’s high school graduation last week, we hit the halfway mark in getting all of the young’uns out from under their parents’ feet and on to the next phase of their lives. Four down, four to go. Not that we had much to do with her education. Although we’d like to have kept her safe in school forever, Emily was in a hurry to be done with studying for a while. She even managed to graduate before her 17th birthday so she could have some time away from classes before buckling down to what comes next.

DEAR ABBY: My wife and I have three daughters in their 20s and 30s. One of them, “Lauryn,” is married with four children. She and her husband are behind in their mortgage, student loans, federal, state and property taxes, utilities, etc. Over the past 15 years, we have given them more than $40,000 to help them stay afloat. Things have not improved. Now that my wife and I are retired, the money we provide is cutting into our re-

tirement savings. For the sake of our grandchildren, we continue to bail Lauryn out hoping their finances will improve. But now we have begun to think our handouts should come at a cost. We want to tell Abigail Van Buren Lauryn and our sonin-law that the money we’ve given — and have continued to give — will count against their inheritance. It doesn’t seem fair that we have given so much to this one daughter and her family and relatively little to her sisters. Do you agree? We’d appreciate your thoughts on this. — LOVING PARENTS AND GRANDPARENTS DEAR LOVING PARENTS: I do agree. And for that reason, you should discuss this issue with an attorney who specializes in estate planning, wills and trusts. Your other daughters should not suffer because Lauryn and her husband have been perpetually needy. An attorney can guide you, and it will be money well spent.

Girlfriend worries she will be a checkbook for her beau DEAR ABBY: I’m having problems with my boyfriend, “Adam,” and I feel stuck. He recently was accepted to graduate school, and we’re planning to move there. We haven’t lived together before, and I’m not sure I’m doing the right thing. I will be working and paying for everything, and Adam will be just going to school. He thinks this is a fair trade-off because “we won’t have to worry about money at all” once he has completed his education. Abby, I don’t think he cares that it’s ME going with him. I feel like a space-filler and a meal ticket. How do I go about finding out his true feelings and intentions? He doesn’t make me feel special, wanted or important — ever. I worry this will end badly. I do love him, but I don’t want this to be a self-fulfilling prophecy. Please give me some advice. — TO MOVE OR NOT TO MOVE IN INDIANA DEAR MOVE OR NOT: You do need advice — and here it is: Your woman’s intuition is telling you this isn’t right, and that your boyfriend can’t be trusted to fulfill his part of the bargain. You should listen to it because that’s a poor basis for uprooting yourself and becoming his benefactor. The person you have described is someone centered solely upon himself and his own needs. A man who doesn’t make you feel special, wanted or important would make a very poor husband.

Jaqueline Bigar’s Stars A baby born today has a Sun in Gemini and a Moon in Libra. HAPPY BIRTHDAY for Sunday, June 8, 2014:This year you open up to new possibilities. You seem to be more vibrant and more willing to take risks. If you are single, play it slightly more conservatively; you’ll want to have the other party reveal more of him- or herself first. You are likely to meet someone of interest after midsummer. If you are attached, the two of you seem to fit right in together no matter what you do. You can’t deny that there’s a lot of mutual admiration between you. Be as romantic as you were when you first met each other. LIBRA might be an intellectual, but he or she is also romantic. 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 Even if plans fall apart, you’ll still enjoy yourself.You often prefer hanging out at home anyway. Make time to visit with a neighbor you feel really connected to. A roommate or family member might want to invite a loved one over. Tonight: Go with the flow. This Week: You simply are not getting the full story. Ask more questions. TAURUS (April 20-May 20) HHH Take time for yourself, even if you don’t think you need it. In the near future you’ll gain new insight into a key person in your life. You need to integrate this information. Calls seem to come in from everywhere; screen them for now. Tonight: Only what you want. This Week: You might need to pinch yourself. GEMINI (May 21-June 20) HHHH You might wonder what would be the best way to approach someone who is often unpredictable. Perhaps the approach is not as important as your ability to adjust to others and their idiosyncrasies. Tonight: Forget tomorrow. Live in the here and now. This Week: Others will be enticing, but they are not direct about their motives. CANCER (June 21-July 22) HHHH You’ll want to spend time close to home. Be aware that someone might want to tug you out the door. As a result, you might decide to invite this person over. Don’t be surprised if more spontaneous invitations come in for the same reason. Tonight: The party is at your pad. This Week: You move out of your shell and right into the middle of an issue. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) HHHHH Make a call in the morning to someone at a distance. You could be surprised by what you hear. You might prefer to keep much of what goes on today hush-hush. Stay centered when dealing with a parent, and the issue will vanish. Tonight: Who cares about tomorrow? This Week: Let your hair down, and others will too. C

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) HHH You have much more to offer than you might realize. These assets go way beyond finances, and they involve your character and your compassion for others. A friend seems to shut down at odd times. Give this person some space. Tonight: Treat a loved one to dinner. This Week: People seem to be oversensitive. Choose your words with care. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) HHHHH Use today to enjoy your friendships and your family. Someone will continue to flatter you. You might want to change topics, but you could have some difficulty. Just say “thank you,” and move on. Tonight: A family member lets you know how much he or she cares. This Week: Speak your mind Monday and Thursday. SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) HHH You might not want to drop your cool act right now. Whether you are establishing boundaries or trying to let someone know that you have had enough will make little difference. Tonight: A quiet dinner with a loved one. This Week: You perk up late Monday. Your words have influence on others. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) HHHH Go off and join your friends, whether it is for a late brunch or perhaps a trip to the beach. You value camaraderie, and today you’ll desire that sense of togetherness even more. A loved one might delight you with his or her unpredictability. Tonight: Let more caring in. This Week: Monday you are on a roll. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) HHH Take a stand.You know what you want and what is acceptable. You need to let others know your boundaries. If they do not know, they could infringe on your space. Make a must appearance that could involve an older person. Tonight: Out till the wee hours. This Week: Your creativity emerges as a result of several meetings. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) HHHH Your mind will be on someone at a distance. Has it occurred to you that it might be best to get together with this person soon? Then maybe you can be more present in the moment. Meanwhile, it could seem to others that you are closed down. Tonight: Early to bed. This Week: Accept responsibilities. Make it a short workweek. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) HHHH Let someone else make the first move. You’ll enjoy the attention of being sought after. One-on-one relating could provide a new openness and a willingness to have a discussion. Choose your words with care. Tonight: Join friends for a fun happening. This Week: Be willing to detach and get past some rigid ideas.

Resume Tips - Whip Your Resume Into Shape Expert advice on how to do a resume correctly. By Kristina Cowan So you’ve discovered the perfect gig with a higher salary, and you’re bent on shuffling your credentials to the hiring manager immediately, if not sooner. You’ve got the experience, education and skills that make you a star candidate. One hurdle remains: how to do a resume appropriately. Don’t fret-you can soon be on your way to crafting a stellar resume; just use the following key resume tips from career experts Brian Drum and Heather Heath. Drum is president and CEO of New York City-based Drum Associates, Inc., a global executive search firm, and Heath, based in Minneapolis, is practice leader of sales and marketing for Hudson, a recruitment and talent management firm. Expert Resume Tips on How to do a Resume 1. Be accurate and truthful. “A resume should not be embellished or exaggerated-it’s not an exercise in writing a novel. If there’s anything that is not correct or is misstated, it could be a reason for not hiring you,” Drum said. 2. Take two pages for your resume if necessary. Drum said once you have four or five years of experience, it often becomes very difficult to squeeze your career path all onto one page. Heath said she sees two-page resumes “all the time.” Most applicants should avoid three page resumes. Resume Tip for Recent College Graduates: Stick to one page. 3. Use bullets with concise descriptions. Most resumes that use paragraphs aren’t looked at, Drum explained, so it’s best to use bullets, and keep them to a maximum of two lines a piece. 4. In most cases, list experience before education. If you’re a seasoned executive, it’s best to list your work experience first. Resume Tip for Recent College Graduates: Put education up top. 5. Mind your keywords! Both Drum and Heath underscored the importance of including terms to help get your resume picked up through online searches. “We’re seeing more and more systems ranking people’s resumes based on how many keywords are being matched. ... More people are putting more words on their resumes because they understand that tracking systems are keyword-driven,” Heath said. 6. List your contact information, particularly your cell phone number and e-mail address. Heath advises against listing your current work phone number. “I don’t think a potential employer would be impressed that you’re using company resources to find a job,” she said. 7. Use consistent formatting. Use the same size and type of font throughout your resume, such as 12-point Times New Roman. Offsetting your name in a slightly larger font is acceptable. If you cut and paste from various versions of your resume, be sure to align the text and eliminate formatting glitches. 8. Remember to double check your spelling. Heath suggests printing your resume, reading it and proofreading it to catch spelling and grammatical problems. It’s fine to use an automated spell-check, she said, but be wary of such systems introducing errors. 9. Bling on resumes is bad. Steer clear of using lots of large fonts in different colors, and of underscoring and bolding text for extra emphasis. Excessive use of bells and whistles distracts the reader and makes your resume look unprofessional. 10. No headshots, please. Pictures and resumes are like oil and water. If you have the urge, don’t give in. At the end of the day, Heath said, “People need to remember when they’re sending their resume out they’re sending a version of themselves. ... Make it a statement-a strong one.” Kristina Cowan is the senior writer for PayScale.com. She has over 10 years of journalism experience, specializing in education and workforce issues.

The World Meets in Brazil photo by Charles J. Sharp

This month, the 2014 FIFA World Cup Brazil™ will kick off in Brazil. To celebrate this international sporting event, The Mini Page explores the historic soccer tournament and this year’s host nation.

The Christ the Redeemer statue on Corcovado Mountain in Rio de Janeiro is one of the most famous monuments in the world. Towering almost 100 feet tall, it was completed in 1931 after nine years of construction.

Getting organized

The FIFA World Cup is held once every four years and includes 32 qualifying teams. Brazil’s team was an automatic qualifier because it is the host nation. The other 31 teams advanced through FIFA World Cup Qualifying, a series of tournaments and playoff matches that began in June 2011 and ended in November 2013.

FIFA organizes members into six confederations, or groups. Each confederation is made up of teams from the same region of the world and hosts a tournament to determine which teams qualify for the FIFA World Cup. For example, CONCACAF (KON-kakaf) is the confederation that includes 35 teams from North America, Central America and the Caribbean. Four

Soccer is a global game. One important rule is that you can play for only one national team in your lifetime, with few exceptions. Julian Green happens to be an exceptional exception. Julian was born in the U.S. and has lived in Germany since he was 2 years old. His father is American and his mother German. He began his soccer career playing for the national youth teams of Germany, an international soccer powerhouse and a regular participant in the FIFA World Cup. Julian also plays for Bayern Munich, one of the world’s top professional teams. Yet because Julian, 19, holds dual American-German Height: 5-7 citizenship, he had the one-time option to switch national Birthdate: teams — permanently. In March 2014, the talented 6-6-95 young forward chose to represent the U.S. forever. Now a Hometown: Tampa, Florida member of the U.S. men’s national team, Julian has his sights set on a long career wearing the Stars and Stripes. Gus Goodsport’s Supersport

Portugal’s influence Brazil was claimed as a colony by Portugal, a relatively small European nation famous for its explorers and sailors. As a result, Brazilians primarily speak Portuguese — not Spanish, as do most other South Americans.

Mini Jokes

All the following jokes have something in common. Can you guess the common theme or category?

The rain forest

Brazil is perhaps most famous for two of its natural wonders: the Amazon River and the Amazon rain forest. The Amazon River is the secondlongest river in the world by length — only the Nile River in Africa is longer. However, it is the largest river by discharge, or the amount of water it carries to the ocean. The Amazon carries more than 55 million gallons of water to the Atlantic Ocean every second!

The Amazon rain forest would cover most of the lower 48 U.S. states. It stretches into parts of nine nations, though most of it is located in Brazil. It is home to an estimated 40,000 species of plants and trees and millions of animal species — more than 90 percent of which are insects! The Mini Page thanks the Federation Internationale de Football Association (FIFA) for help with this issue.

The official mascot for the tournament is Fuleco™, a three-banded armadillo native to Brazil. This species of armadillo is found in a small area of eastern Brazil just south of the equator, and has suffered from loss of habitat. Its primary foods are ants and termites.

2014 FIFA World Cup™ Groups Meet Fuleco™

The FIFA World Cup™ has two stages, or parts: group play and knockout play. In group play, each team plays the other three teams in its assigned group. If a team wins, it receives three points; a draw, or a tie, is awarded one point. The two teams with the most points in each group then advance to the knockout stage, where a loss means elimination. Team USA is in Group G. Its schedule for group play is: Monday, June 16 • Germany vs. Portugal • Ghana vs. USA Saturday, June 21 • Germany vs. Ghana Sunday, June 22 • USA vs. Portugal Thursday, June 26 • Portugal vs. Ghana • USA vs. Germany

Brazil is South America’s largest nation — and the fifth-largest country in the world. It also ranks fifth in population, with more than 200 million people. Experts believe that indigenous (in-DIH-jih-nus), or native, tribes lived in Brazil as far back as 10,000 years ago. Some of the oldest pottery ever discovered in the Western Hemisphere was found near the Amazon River. It dates back some 8,000 years, making it nearly twice as old as the Egyptian pyramids. Several dozen “uncontacted” native tribes still live in Brazil, mostly deep in the densely forested regions. These groups still live as they have for centuries, without technology or knowledge of the outside world.

Portuguese explorer Pedro Alvarez Cabral arrived off the coast of present-day Brazil on April 22, 1500. He claimed the land for his home country and is often credited with discovering South America.

What Americans call “soccer” is called “football” in other parts of the world. American football is a much different sport. How many differences can you think of?

FIFA (FEE-fah) is a French acronym for the International Federation of Association Football. It is the organization in charge of the World Cup and other international soccer tournaments. There are 209 “associations” that make up FIFA, each representing a different country’s national soccer team. FIFA was founded in 1904, and its headquarters are in Zurich, Switzerland.

The Iguazu Falls are formed by the Iguazu River on the border of Brazil and Argentina. Depending on the river’s water level, the number of waterfalls it creates can vary between 150 and 300.
