Public health officials stress importance of immunizations By KAYLEE OSOWSKI Peninsula Clarion

Tourists this season could bring more than money to the area. With a high number of measles outbreaks in the Lower 48 from Jan. 1 to June 6, Kenai Public Health Center Nurse Manager Charlie Barrows said Alaskans should be aware of the virus, especially during the summer travel season. “We don’t want to frighten people, but with tourist season, people come from all over the place,” Barrows said.

Hultberg named to Health Care Commission M

JUNEAU (AP) — A former commissioner of the state Department of Administration has been appointed to the Alaska Health Care Commission. The appointment of Becky Hultberg was made by Gov. Sean Parnell. Hultberg, who resigned as Administration commissioner late last year, currently serves as a senior vice president of the Alaska State Hospital and Nursing Home Association. Parnell’s office, in a release, says Hultberg’s appointment was to a seat nominated by the association. The commission provides recommendations on a statewide health care policy and on ways to improve Alaskans’ health.

News of a family of four missing from their north Kenai residence for nearly two weeks has been unsettling for residents who described the neighborhood as quiet with transient people who don’t live in the area long. “We don’t know everybody in our building much less buildings down the street,” said Amy Murrell-Haunold, who has lived on California Avenue for five years. “It’s scary. I didn’t expect anything like this to happen.” While authorities have received new information every day during their investigation

into the family’s disappearance, Kenai Police Chief Gus Sandahl said there has been no big break that would lead investigators to search in a specific location. Sandahl said the last physical evidence of a sighting for Rebecca Adams, 22, and her two daughters Michelle Hundley, 5, and Jaracca Hundley, 3, came from video surveillance at a Kenai business on May 18. Adams’ family has disclosed to police phone conversations with Adams around Memorial Day weekend. Also missing is Adams’ boyfriend, 37-year-old Brandon Jividen, and the family dog named Sparks, a brown and white English springer spaniel. See SEARCH, page A-12

Sullivan proposes campaign attack ad pledge By BECKY BOHRER Associated Press

Inside

While Barrows said Alaska hasn’t had a reported measles case since 2000, the state is ranked 39th for immunizations of children 19-35 months old, according to the 2011 National Immunization Survey. “We consistently have geographic areas that are under-immunized often for religious reasons,” Barrows said. “Here, on the Peninsula, we’ve got folks that … claim religious exemption. Where you have more of that religion obviously you’re going to have more kids that might be under-immunized.”

JUNEAU — Republican U.S. Senate hopeful Dan Sullivan said Tuesday that he supports the U.S. Supreme Court decision that allowed unlimited spending by unions and corporations in political races even as he proposed a way to curb outside influence in his contest. Sullivan called on Democratic Sen. Mark Begich to sign a pledge asking special interest groups to stop TV and radio ads by July 4 that support or attack their campaigns. If they don’t stop, his pledge says the candidate benefiting from the ads must contribute half the amount of the ad buy to a charity his opponent chooses.

‘It’s about how Mark Begich and I are going to conduct this race.’ — Senate candidate Dan Sullivan Begich spokesman Max Croes called Sullivan’s comments hypocrisy. Campaign manager Susanne Fleek-Green said in a statement that if Sullivan wins his primary, “it will be a stark contrast between his putcorporations-first position and Senator Begich’s support for real campaign finance reform, including support of a constitutional amendment throwing out Citizens United,” the 2010 court ruling. The campaign did not direct-

ly say whether Begich would sign the pledge. There is much at stake in the race — Republicans have focused on Alaska as critical to their efforts to win control of the U.S. Senate. It’s also the state’s first major race in the era of super political action committees. During a conference call with reporters, Sullivan, a former state attorney general, was asked about the Citizens United decision and said he was a

strong supporter of the First Amendment and was not trying to limit free speech with his proposal. S u l l i v a n Mark Begich said in a follow-up call with The Associated Press and in a campaign tweet that he supported the court decision but that his proposal wasn’t about that. “It’s about how Mark Begich and I are going to conduct this race,” Sullivan said. Sullivan singled out Begich for the pledge, modeled on the “People’s Pledge” signed by Republican Scott Brown and Democrat Elizabeth Warren in

the contentious 2012 Massachusetts U.S. Senate race. It helped limit attack ads on the airwaves, but Dan Sullivan groups turned to mass mailings. The race was still the most expensive in Massachusetts’ history. Sullivan still must beat his August primary opponents, including Lt. Gov. Mead Treadwell and Joe Miller, the 2010 GOP Senate nominee in a race that Republican Lisa Murkowski won with a write-in campaign. See PLEDGE, page A-12

FAA approves drone flights By JOAN LOWY Associated Press

WASHINGTON — The Federal Aviation Administration said Tuesday it has granted the first permission for commercial drone flights over land, the latest effort by the agency to show it is loosening restrictions on commercial uses of the unmanned aircraft. Drone maker AeroVironment of Monrovia, California, and BP energy corporation have been given permission to use a Puma drone to survey pipelines, roads and equipment

at Prudhoe Bay in Alaska, the agency said. The first flight took place on Sunday. Made by AeroVironment, the Puma is a small, hand-launched craft about 4 1/2 feet long and with a 9-foot wingspan. It was initially designed for military use. Drones are often less expensive to operate than manned aircraft and easier to maneuver. Equipped with 3D cameras, the Puma will provide images of hard-to-reach places not currently available, BP and AeroVironment say. AeroVironment CEO Tim

Conver said the Puma “is now helping BP manage its extensive Prudhoe Bay field operations in a way that enhances safety, protects the environment, improves productivity and accomplishes activities never before possible.” Last summer, the FAA had approved the Puma and the ScanEagle made by Boeing subsidiary Insitu Inc. of Bingen, Washington, for flights over the AP Photo/BP Alaska Arctic Ocean to scout icebergs, count whales and monitor drill- In this photo taken Saturday and released by BP Alaska, Unmanned Aerial System (UAS) technology using an AeroVironing platforms. “These surveys on Alaska’s ment Puma drone is given a pre-flight checkout in preparation See DRONE, page A-12 for flights by BP at its Prudhoe Bay, Alaska operations.

Will shave for food MASON CITY, Iowa (AP) — The chaplain at an Iowa hospital has lost his beard of 32 years after hospital staffers surpassed their food drive goal. The Rev. Ken Gehling goodnaturedly sacrificed his long, white beard Monday in the main lobby at Mercy Medical CenterNorth Iowa in Mason City. He had promised to have the beard shaved if Mercy staffers collected more than 750 pounds of food for the Hawkeye Harvest Food Bank. The Globe Gazette reported their total exceeded 800 pounds. Mason City hair stylist Sue Wyborny cut off Gehling’s beard and his mustache. Sitting down for his shave, Gehling quipped, “It’s like the electric chair.” But he was quick to add, “I just feel happy that we got all that food.”

UAF fined for musk oxen deaths By MARK THIESSEN Associated Press

ANCHORAGE — The University of Alaska Fairbanks has been penalized $127,100 by the U.S. Department of Agriculture after 12 musk oxen died from malnutrition at the school’s large animal research station earlier this decade. An administrative law judge for the U.S. Department of Agriculture issued the civil penalty Thursday for violating of the Animal Welfare Act. An animal rights group that initially filed a complaint over the deaths in 2011, prompting a USDA investigation, announced the penalty Tuesday. The size of the penalty “tells me the USDA is sending a message to these facilities that they are no longer going to stand for these criminals that break the law, and we’re very happy to see this,” said Michael Budkie, executive director of the group Stop Animal Exploitation Now. The university entered into the agreement without admitting fault.

“We decided to go ahead and settle it because quite honestly, it would have been more expensive to go through a hearing,” said university spokeswoman Marmian Grimes. “That would have done nothing for the animals,” she said. A message left with a USDA spokeswoman after business hours on the East Coast on Tuesday wasn’t immediately returned. The university failed to provide adequate veterinary care, identify that the musk oxen were losing weight or enlist veterinary treatment for the animals, the USDA’s complaint said. It says the animals died or were euthanized between Aug. 29, 2010, and Feb. 16, 2011. Grimes said the university

did take issue with two points in the USDA complaint, including the federal agency saying the animals died of starvation. She said the deaths would better be described as from malnutrition since the musk oxen had ample amounts of hay and grazing land. However, the animals had a deficiency of trace minerals like copper and cobalt which made them look emaciated. Changes were made in dietary supplementation, the animal care structure and the way health concerns are reported. No one was fired in the wake of the die-off. Grimes said they also disagree with the USDA’s contention that proper veterinary care

wasn’t immediately forthcoming after the animals began to die. She said it took time to nurse the musk oxen back to health and find the right balance of supplements. The herd is now healthy, she said Tuesday. The herd includes 19 animals, ranging in age from newborns to 20 years old, the upper end of life expectancy for musk oxen. Musk oxen were once native to Alaska but were hunted to extinction several hundred years ago. The animals were reintroduced, starting with a small herd from Greenland in the 1930s. The university herd was established about 30 years ago.

What Others Say

Remember to always prepare for the worst Many residents were impacted by the

news of missing hiker Sharon Buis. That’s because it could have been any one of us. Juneauites pride themselves on the accessibility of our wilderness. So many of us escape alone for a quick jaunt on the Perseverance Trail, a short hike out the rolling trails of Sandy Beach, or a workbreak run up the Salmon Creek Trail. It’s true many live in Juneau because amazing vistas are around every tree and at the peak of every mountaintop. You don’t have to travel far off the trails to escape into our rainforest. It’s easy to get complacent, especially when you know the area well. That complacency could lead to leaving your cell phone in the car next to your water bottle (because its clunky) and that wind breaker on the passenger seat (because the clouds have nearly dissipated. It’s only a short outing, after all. We’re not saying complacency was to blame in the case of Buis; there’s far too many questions and mysteries to draw a factual conclusion. And Buis wasn’t a woman of inexperience, that’s one thing we know for certain. The thing is, Alaska is as unpredictable as it’s always been; the weather is shifty and the footing on trails is as challenging and steep as it was when the glaciers first retreated. People go missing in Alaska, float planes fly into the mist and don’t return, and storms make waves that swallow boats whole. Alaska can be as dangerous as it is beautiful. Our thoughts are with the friends and family of Sharon Buis, as well as all those who lost someone in years past. These loses afford us an opportunity, however, to learn how we can be better prepared in the wilderness. Even with expert search teams nearby, the best way to stay alive in an unexpected situation is to be prepared. Buis’ car was still in the gravel parking lot the Monday morning after she had gone missing. Inside were hair scrunchies and a water bottle. There was no note or schedule letting people know where she was going. A receipt found in her car was the only clue as to when she was last seen. “It’s just really difficult because she did not leave any information about where she was going and what her plans are,” JMR member Doug Wessen told the Empire. “It’s all speculation, it’s all a mystery.” Bruce Bowler, the leader of SEADOGS, reminded residents out on the trails to tell someone where you are going and when you expect to be back; charge a cell phone and take it along; dress in layers and bright colors; and carry rain gear, dry socks, a jacket and signals. “A Space Blanket is cheap, light, and may just save someone’s life,” he said in an email to the Empire. What happened to missing hiker Sharon Buis remains a mystery. We hope someday the mystery is solved. When hikers go missing, experts talk about how to stay safe when venturing into the wilderness. Have a hike plan, complete with return time and travel plan. Write it down, share it with others, and then stick to it. Take the basics: layers, water, food and a space blanket. Without knowing for sure what happened to Sharon Buis, there are still lessons to be learned. When experiencing Alaska’s wilderness, prepare for every worst-case scenario imaginable. — Juneau Empire, June 8

Competence comeuppance

The Barack Obama presidency is in fundamental trouble. According to a new Fox News poll, more Americans than not question his ability to be effective in his job. This time it’s not Fox anti-Obama hysteria. The result tracks what other surveys are finding. According to this one, not only does a majority consider the Obama administration less capable than Bill Clinton’s, but a 48 percent to 42 percent plurality finds it less competent than George W. Bush’s. Furthermore, 55 percent say the current leadership has made the nation weaker, versus 35 percent who feel the country is now stronger. Given the ridicule heaped on W.’s reign, the results are devastating for Obama. Not that the perceptions are so difficult to understand. We’ve been treated to a regular drip-drip-drip of administration embarrassments, or really, mistreated. Where to start? The Obamacare debut is as good a place as any. Talk about fecklessness. And now we have the Department of Veterans Affairs scandal. Republicans swarm all over these messes like insects on honey, but the president and his people make the gorging even sweeter with their own inept public relations. What would possess the president’s press secretary, Jay Carney, to volunteer that his boss first learned of the VA mess from news reports? And when it came to the health-care meltdown, his handlers rushed out to say he had no idea the rollout was

in cybershambles. By now, shouldn’t the crack White House communications shop have figured out that its desperate efforts to shield the president from blame leave an impression that this is a chief ex- Bob Franken ecutive who is in over his head, certainly not on top of things. We’re witnessing their cluelessness still again, with the release of Army Sgt. Bowe Bergdahl. It was a deal with the Taliban: The deal was one Bergdahl for five senior terrorist leaders held at Guantanamo Bay. The handoff was done suddenly, without the legally required 30-day notice to Congress. Sgt. Bergdahl, fairly or unfairly, has been called a deserter. The Republicans were certain to pounce, handily overlooking that they had been among those constantly demanding that somehow he should be returned to his family. And yet, ever since the president made his proud announcement from the White House, he and his people are scrambling to do damage control. A couple of days later, he could only sputter in exasperation: “I’m never surprised by controversies that are whipped up in Washington, all right? That’s — that’s par for the course.” It is par for the course. The anti-Obama partisans know that their relentless, often

shameless pounding on anything and everything he does will cause wear and tear. And yet, he seems to cling to the naive belief that each time, the opposition will rise above politics. While we’re at it, can someone justify the fact that the narrative was controlled by the Taliban? They are the ones who released images of the exchange. Did it even occur to our folks to shoot video of the handover? As the polls show, the president’s enemies have succeeded in eroding his credibility. Their immediate goal is winning the upcoming election so the GOP can take total control of Congress. Then the real prize is victory in the presidential race two years hence. Their biggest problem is a set of economic and social policies that hearken back to the turn of the century ... the 20th century. They’re also encumbered by a collection of outlandish potential candidates. It’s no wonder that the party chairman wants to limit the number of debates. That’s a way of avoiding the clown show that was such an embarrassment last time around. Better to peck away at the current occupant of the White House and leave an impression that Barack Obama is incompetent. The polls show that their strategy is working. Unfortunately, the president and his people are making it easier. Bob Franken is a longtime broadcast journalist, including 20 years at CNN.

Oil industry crucial to Alaska’s economy Only three legs support the Alaska economy: oil, the federal government and everything else. That’s why oil tax reform is an Alaska problem, not an oil company problem. Oil companies can invest anywhere in the world, and they do. They take their investment wherever they can achieve the highest rate of return. If that is not Alaska, then it may be North Dakota, California, Indonesia or anywhere else in the world. To them it’s a simple choice: what is the lowest risk and highest return. It’s not so simple for us. Without oil, Alaska would look very different. According to the University of Alaska Institute of Social and Economic Research (ISER), an Alaska sans petroleum would be about half the size it is today — and totally dominated by the federal government. That’s not a place I want to raise my family. An oilless Alaska economy would be thin, seasonal and transient, not robust and well rounded. Much of the infrastructure we take for granted would never have been built — and personal income would be 10-20 percent below the U.S. average. In short, we would be small, spare and poor. But we’re not — thanks to oil. The State of Alaska has collected $157 billion (in today’s dollars) from oil since 1959, money that funds 90 percent of the state’s general fund. Oil means we can spend more per resident — roughly double the U.S. average — yet keep the tax burden light on most businesses. Fully two-thirds of the job growth since statehood is due to petroleum and today half of the jobs in Alaska can be traced to petroleum. We have money in the bank, thanks to our oil revenues: $50 billion in the Permanent Fund, $12.4 billion in the constitutional budget reserve fund and $4.8 billion in the statutory budget reserve. On a more personal level, oil revenues contribute about $25,000/year to a family of four through permanent fund dividends, a lower tax burden — $2,500 per capita — and extra spending, according to ISER.

It is virtually impossible to replace our oil dollars. To equal what we raise in oil revenues would require an $8,000/ounce tax on gold, a $4,000/person tax on visitors or a $40/salmon tax on seafood, according to ISER.

Classic Doonesbury, 1974

As ISER has calculated, an infusion of $4 billion in additional capital will result in 50,000 barrels of new oil per day, which means more state revenues and 60,000 oil patch jobs over 20 years. This is great news for everyone — especially the state, our economy and our families. Alaskans are the true beneficiaries of more oil, which is why it is so important for Alaska to vote No on 1 on Aug. 19. A vote no will keep oil tax reform in place, which will help ensure a healthy Alaska for decades to come. A vote yes is a vote for bankruptcy.

Around the World House votes for speedier care for US vets, Senate is next WASHINGTON — United in response to a national uproar, Congress is suddenly moving quickly to address military veterans’ long waits for care at VA hospitals. The House unanimously approved legislation Tuesday to make it easier for patients enduring lengthy delays for initial visits to get VA-paid treatment from local doctors instead. The Senate was poised to vote on a similar bill within 48 hours, said Democratic leader Harry Reid. The legislation comes close on the heels of a Veterans Affairs Department audit showing that more than 57,000 new applicants for care have had to wait at least three months for initial appointments and an additional 64,000 newly enrolled vets who requested appointments never got them. “I cannot state it strongly enough — this is a national disgrace,” said Veterans Affairs Committee Chairman Jeff Miller, R-Fla., chief author of the House legislation. Miller made his comments minutes before the House completed the first of two votes on its measure. Lawmakers approved the bill 421-0, then re-voted a little over an hour later, making sure no one was left out on the politically important vote, with five more in favor and no one against.

Gunman made no secret of extreme views; authorities had few options to pursue him LAS VEGAS — Jerad Miller was ready to share his antigovernment views with just about anyone who would listen, views that telegraphed his desire to kill police officers and his willingness to die for what he hoped would be a revolution against the government. He told neighbors, television reporters and the Internet. Once, he threatened to attack a Nevada court while on the phone with the Indiana Bureau of Motor Vehicles. If local or federal authorities were monitoring his online rants and increasingly sharp threats, they aren’t saying — not with police still investigating what triggered Miller and his wife to gun down two officers and a third man Sunday before taking their own lives.

CIA disciplines 15 officers for harassment WASHINGTON — When Ilana Sara Greenstein was a CIA case officer working at headquarters a decade ago, she said, a married senior manager who was responsible for her promotions made sexual advances toward her. She spurned him but didn’t dare report the incident, she said in an interview, for fear it would end her career. She went on to a stint in Iraq — where a male officer routinely snapped the bra strap of one of her female colleagues, she said — before she left the agency in 2008. Back then, she said, there was no mention of sexual or other harassment in the training she got to be a covert operative. These days, the CIA says it has a zero tolerance policy toward workplace harassment. And an agency document obtained by The Associated Press said 15 CIA employees were disciplined for committing sexual, racial or other types of harassment last year. That included a supervisor who was removed from the job after engaging in “bullying, hostile behavior,” and an operative who was sent home from an overseas post for inappropriately touching female colleagues, said the document, an internal message to the agency’s workforce. — The Associated Press

Nation Air Force to fix nuclear program By ROBERT BURNS AP National Security Writer

WASHINGTON -— The Air Force is launching an ambitious campaign to repair flaws in its nuclear missile corps, after recent training failures, security missteps, leadership lapses, morale problems and stunning breakdowns in discipline prompted Defense Secretary Chuck Hagel to demand action to restore public confidence in the nuclear force. Air Force leaders are planning to offer bonus pay to missile force members, fill gaps in their ranks, offer a nuclear service medal and put more money into modernizing what in some respects has become a decrepit Minuteman 3 missile force that few airmen want to join and even fewer view as a career-enhancing mission. The potential impact of these and other planned changes is unclear. They do not appear to address comprehensively what some see as the core issue: a flagging sense of purpose in a force that atrophied after the Cold War ended two decades ago as the military’s focus turned to countering terrorism and other threats. Even so, some analysts are encouraged by these initial Air Force moves. “I think this is a step in the right direction,” said Dana Struckman, a retired Air Force officer who commanded a Minuteman 3 missile squadron at Minot Air Force Base in North Dakota in 2003-05. “I think it will make a difference.” Driving this effort is Air Force Secretary Deborah Lee James, who took over as the service’s top civilian official in December amid a series of embarrassing lapses by the men and women who operate, support and lead the fleet of 450 intercontinental ballistic missiles, or ICBMs, based in North Dakota, Montana and Wyoming. The missiles are armed with nuclear warheads, ready for launch on short notice any day, any hour. In January, after visiting a Minuteman 3 base, Hagel de-

‘I think this is a step in the right direction. I think it will make a difference.’ — Dana Struckman, retired Air Force officer clared, “We know that something is wrong.” He ordered a pair of comprehensive reviews to identify what was amiss and to recommend solutions. Both reviews missed their initial deadlines for completion, and Hagel has said little publicly about it in recent months. The cascade of bad news began in May 2013 when The Associated Press revealed that a group of ICBM launch officers at Minot Air Force Base had been stripped of their authority following a poor inspection result and other problems. The AP also disclosed that the deputy operations commander at Minot had complained in an internal email of “rot” in his ranks — an assessment that aired a range of morale and other behavioral, training, leadership and security problems that later emerged at the ICBM bases in Wyoming and Montana. In October the two-star general in charge of ICBMs was fired for drunken behavior while on official business in Russia, and in November the AP revealed an unpublished study that found evidence of “burnout” among missile launch officers and cited elevated rates of personal misconduct within the ICBM force. For months Air Force officials insisted that the morale issues and other problems amounted to nothing more than commonplace gripes and isolated, correctable goofs. James, however, took a different approach. In January, just weeks after taking office and days after the discovery of an exam-cheating scandal among nearly 100 launch crew members in the 341st Missile Wing at Malmstrom Air Force Base in Montana, James declared herself “profoundly disappointed,” and announced that the ICBM force was in need of closer scrutiny.

She visited all three ICBM bases and said afterward the problems are “systemic,” not isolated. “I tip my hat to her for really taking this on,” Struckman said. “She didn’t shy away.” Also in January, the Air Force disclosed that three ICBM launch officers were among those implicated in a criminal investigation of drug use or possession — a probe that remains active. And in March it announced it was firing nine officers in leadership positions at Malmstrom and one, Col. Donald Holloway, at F.E. Warren Air Force Base, which is headquarters for the organization in charge of the entire ICBM force. Since then the Air Force has developed and begun publicizing internal changes aimed at fixing what ails the ICBM force, although the two reviews that Hagel ordered in February are not yet complete. It’s unclear how the Air Force’s proposed changes will be squared with whatever recommendations emerge from Hagel’s reviews. Among the more dramatic and potentially important moves, James has recommended to Hagel that he put a fourstar general in charge of the nuclear Air Force, including the ICBM and bomber fleets, thereby elevating its status and clout inside an Air Force more focused on air, space and cyberspace missions. A three-star general is currently running the force. Raising the rank to four stars will require approval by Congress. Such a move would put the Air Force more in line with the Navy, whose nuclear force is

overseen by a four-star officer, Adm. Terry J. Benedict, who has an eight-year tenure and reports directly to the top Navy admiral. The Air Force also plans to offer extra pay to attract and keep people in the missile fields. It’s an idea that has been kicked around for years but never implemented, to the consternation of many airmen. Newly trained missile launch officers, known as missileers, will get a yearly bonus throughout their tour, according to Lt. Col. John Sheets, an Air Force spokesman. He said the dollar amount is yet to be decided. Current missileers, as well as security force members and others in the missile fields, will get monthly bonuses, he said. Flaws in the Air Force’s nuclear management have been apparent for years, according to Michelle Spencer, who led a year-long study of the nuclear Air Force and concluded in a report published in January 2012 that numerous attempts since 2008 amounted to “movement without direction.” At its core, she wrote, are questions about the Air Force’s ability to develop, sustain and value nuclear expertise. “Without answers to these fundamental questions,” she wrote, “the Air Force nuclear enterprise remains on the same trajectory as it has been for the last two decades — in ever-increasing decline.” Spencer’s study, which was requested and funded by the Air Force, also found that senior Air Force leaders were getting “false or distorted information about the reality on the ground” in the nuclear force. That distortion permitted small problems to grow into big ones and reflected cynicism about the nuclear mission, she wrote. Spencer said James appears to have made inroads against that problem, “but I’m sure they haven’t solved it.”

Judge strikes down California teacher tenure By LINDA DEUTSCH AP Special Correspondent

LOS ANGELES — A judge struck down tenure and other job protections for California’s public school teachers as unconstitutional Tuesday, saying such laws harm students — especially poor and minority ones — by saddling them with bad teachers. In a landmark decision that could influence the gathering debate over tenure across the country, Los Angeles County Superior Court Judge Rolf Treu cited the historic case of Brown v. Board of Education in ruling that students have a fundamental right to equal education. Siding with the nine students who brought the lawsuit, he ruled that California’s laws on hiring and firing in schools have resulted in “a significant number of grossly ineffective teachers currently active in California classrooms.” He agreed, too, that a disproportionate share of these

teachers are in schools that have mostly minority and lowincome students. The judge stayed the ruling pending appeals. The case involves kindergarten through 12th grade. The California Attorney General’s office said it is considering its legal options, while the California Teachers Association, the state’s biggest teachers union with 325,000 members, vowed an appeal. “Circumventing the legislative process to strip teachers of their professional rights hurts our students and our schools,” the union said. Teachers have long argued that tenure prevents administrators from firing teachers on a whim. They contend also that the system preserves academic freedom and helps attract talented teachers to a profession that doesn’t pay well. Other states have been paying close attention to how the case plays out in the nation’s most populous state. “It’s powerful,” said Theo-

‘It’s powerful. It’s a landmark decision that can change the face of education in California and nationally.’ — Theodore Boutrous Jr., students’ attorney dore Boutrous Jr., the students’ attorney. “It’s a landmark decision that can change the face of education in California and nationally.” He added: “This is going to be a huge template for what’s wrong with education.” In striking down several laws regarding tenure, seniority and other protections, the judge said the evidence at the trial showed the harm inflicted on students by incompetent teachers. “The evidence is compelling,” he said. “Indeed, it shocks the conscience.” The judge cited an expert’s finding that a single year with a grossly ineffective teacher costs a classroom full of students $1.4 million in lifetime

earnings. The lawsuit contended that bad teachers are so heavily protected by tenure laws that they are almost impossible to fire. The plaintiffs also complained that because the tenure system allows only two years for evaluation before a teacher is hired permanently, it does not provide sufficient time to weigh an educator’s ability. Los Angeles School Superintendent John Deasy testified that it can take over two years on average — and sometimes as long as 10 — to fire an incompetent tenured teacher. The cost of doing so, he said, can run from $250,000 to $450,000. The judge declined to tell

Hershey company clashes with Maryland candidate By JESSICA GRESKO Associated Press

WASHINGTON — The Hershey company says a Maryland candidate is milking its classic chocolate bar for political gain. Hershey’s is suing state Sen. Stephen S. Hershey Jr., accusing him of improperly using signs and other campaign materials that mimic the look of a Hershey’s candy bar. The company says in the federal lawsuit filed Friday that the candidate’s brown, rectangular campaign logo with white writing imitates the Hershey’s bar packaging with its brown background and silver and white writing. Both use similar lettering for the word “Hershey,” which appears in all capital letters in the center of both designs, but where the chocolate bar says “milk chocolate,” the politician’s

logo says “state senate.” Unlike the chocolate bar, the candidate’s logo has a two-tone brown background in the pattern of the state flag. But the candy company says in its lawsuit filed in Maryland that the combination of the light, block letter writing and brown background in a color the company calls “Hershey maroon” is problematic. The company said in a statement Tuesday that it believes “this is an unauthorized use of our distinctive and famous design” and that it may “mislead consumers into believing that Steve Hershey is somehow affiliated with or endorsed by The Hershey Company.” But Hershey, the politician, said in a statement Tuesday that his campaign’s actions were “lawful and the exercise of my constitutional rights.”

Hershey has been told his family tree intersects with that of Milton S. Hershey, the candy company’s founder, but they are not close relatives. This isn’t the first time the candy company and candidate have clashed. The company says in its lawsuit that the dispute dates to 2002 when Hershey was running to be a county commissioner and used similar campaign materials. The company says it wrote Hershey asking him to stop and he did for a time after the election. But the company says he brought back the offending design during his 2010 campaign for state delegate, prompting renewed protests from the Pennsylvania chocolate company and a promise from candidate Hershey to change his campaign materials’ font and color in the future.

the Legislature exactly how to change the system, but expressed confidence it will do so in a way that passes constitutional muster and provides “each child in this state with a basically equal opportunity to achieve a quality education.” U.S. Education Secretary Arne Duncan hailed the decision as a chance for schools everywhere to open a conversation on equal opportunity in education. “The students who brought this lawsuit are, unfortunately, just nine out of millions of young people in America who are disadvantaged by laws, practices and systems that fail to identify and support our best teachers and match them with our neediest students,” he said. “Today’s court decision is a mandate to fix these problems.” The trial represented the latest battle in a nationwide movement to abolish or toughen the standards for granting teachers permanent employment protection and seniority-based prefer-

ences during layoffs. Dozens of states have moved in recent years to get rid of such protections or raise the standards for obtaining them. The lawsuit was brought by Beatriz Vergara and eight other students who said they were saddled with teachers who let classrooms get out of control, came to school unprepared and in some cases told them they’d never make anything of themselves. The lawsuit was backed by wealthy Silicon Valley entrepreneur David Welch’s nonprofit group Students Matter, which assembled a highprofile legal team including Boutrous, who represented George W. Bush in front of the U.S. Supreme Court during the 2000 election recount dispute in Florida. James Finberg, who represents the teachers, agreed that Treu’s decision could be a bellwether for other states. With 6 million students, California has one of the biggest educational systems in the country.

Militants overrun most of major Iraqi city By SAMEER N. YACOUB and ADAM SCHRECK Associated Press

BAGHDAD — In a stunning assault that exposed Iraq’s eroding central authority, alQaida-inspired militants overran much of Mosul on Tuesday, seizing government buildings, pushing out security forces and capturing military vehicles as thousands of residents fled the second-largest city. The rampage by the black banner-waving insurgents was a heavy defeat for Prime Minister Nouri al-Maliki as he tries to hold onto power, and highlighted the growing strength of the Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant. The group has been advancing in both Iraq and neighboring Syria, capturing territory in a campaign to set up a militant enclave straddling the border. There were no immediate estimates on how many people were killed in the assault, a stark reminder of the reversals in Iraq since U.S. forces left in late 2011. Earlier this year, Islamic State fighters took control of Fallujah, and government forces have been unable to take it back. Mosul is a much bigger, more strategic prize. The city and surrounding Ninevah province, which is on the doorstep of Iraq’s relatively prosperous Kurdish region, are a major

export route for Iraqi oil and a gateway to Syria. “This isn’t Fallujah. This isn’t a place you can just cordon off and forget about,” said Michael Knights, a regional security analyst at the Washington Institute for Near East Policy. “It’s essential to Iraq.” Al-Maliki pressed parliament to declare a state of emergency that would grant him greater powers, saying the public and government must unite “to confront this vicious attack, which will spare no Iraqi.” Legal experts said these powers could include imposing curfews, restricting public movements and censoring the media.

State TV said lawmakers would convene Thursday. Parliament speaker Osama alNujaifi, a Sunni from Mosul, called the rout “a disaster by any standard.” Regaining Mosul poses a daunting challenge for the Shiite prime minister. The city of about 1.4 milliion has a Sunni Muslim majority and many in the community are already deeply embittered against his Shiite-led government. During the nearly nine-year American presence in the country, Mosul was a major stronghold for al-Qaida. U.S. and Iraqi forces carried out repeated offensives there, regaining a semblance of

control but never routing the insurgents entirely. “It’s going to be difficult to reconstitute the forces to clear and hold the city,” Knights said. “There aren’t a lot of spare forces around Iraq.” White House spokesman Josh Earnest deplored what he called the “despicable” acts of violence against civilians in Mosul. He said Washington is committed to its partnership with Baghdad but is urging the government to take steps to be more inclusive of all Iraqis. U.N. Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon condemned the attacks across Iraq in recent days “that have killed and wounded scores of civilians.” He urged all political leaders “to show national unity against the threats facing Iraq, which can only be addressed on the basis of the constitution and within the democratic political process,” according to U.N. spokesman Stephane Dujarric. Insurgents and Iraqi troops have been fighting for days in Mosul, but the security forces’ hold appeared to collapse late Monday night and early Tuesday. Gunmen overran the Ninevah provincial government building — a key symbol of state control — Monday evening, and the governor fled the city. The fighters stormed police stations, bases and prisons, capturing weapons and freeing inmates. Security forces melted

Tax cheats took billions from Ukraine By MARIA DANILOVA and RAPHAEL SATTER Associated Press

KIEV, Ukraine — As Ukraine’s tax chief tells it, the billion-dollar theft was planned at a see-through plastic table in a vault of sound-proof steel. The table and six matching transparent chairs sit in a secret chamber on an upper story of the Tax Ministry in Kiev. It was the epicenter, he and other tax officials say, of a massive fraud suspected of squeezing 130 billion hryvnias ($11 billion) from Kiev’s coffers over the past three years — an amount equal to more than half a year’s tax revenue for the entire country. Deputy Tax Minister Ihor Bilous, the country’s new tax boss, says his predecessor was in on the scam, helping to organize a wide network of phantom firms in return for a cut of the cash. The criminals, he says, operated with impunity. “They didn’t care about the police, the

security services. Nobody was checking,” Bilous told The Associated Press in a recent interview. “That’s why this cancer ... spread over the whole country.” Bilous’ predecessor, Oleksandr Klymenko, denies the claims, saying he “always fought tough with any corruption” and cited more than 1,300 investigations into charges of corruption that his office opened last year. “A lot of false information that discredits my honor and reputation is spread by the media,” he said. But documents reviewed by the AP — including tax records, a list of alleged phantom companies drawn up by a Ukrainian anti-corruption group, and data from the business intelligence website Arachnys — support Bilous’ description of a wide-ranging scheme, and outside experts support the claims. Bilous’ assertions are “very hard not to agree with,” said Anna Derevyanko, the director of the Kiev-based European

Business Association. “Basically, whatever field you are touching, it was corrupt in the territory of Ukraine.” Exhibit A is the steel vault built into the center of the Tax Ministry, just across from Bilous’ office. He said it was here that Klymenko and his cronies worked out how to divide the spoils of a system that had some 1,700 companies in its clutch. The secret chamber was equipped with a white-noise generator to beat eavesdroppers, and plastic furniture that allegedly helped make sure nobody was recording the goings-on. Using transparent furniture to beat surveillance “is straight out of the old-school, Eastern Bloc, counterintelligence playbook,” said Vince Houghton, curator of the International Spy Museum in Washington. East Germany’s intelligence service, for example, kept transparent furniture in a chamber at its embassy in Rome. Klymenko denied anything untoward happened in the vault.

away, abandoning many of their posts, and militants seized large caches of weapons. They took control of the city’s airport and captured helicopters, as well as an airbase 60 kilometers (40 miles) south of the city, the parliament speaker said. Later Tuesday, Islamic State fighters took over the large town of Hawija, 125 kilometers (75 miles) south of Mosul, according to officials there. On Tuesday, the militants appeared to hold much of the eastern half of Mosul, which is bisected by the Tigris River. Residents said fighters were raising the black banners that are the emblem of the Islamic State. Video taken from a car driving through the streets of Mosul and posted online showed burning vehicles in the streets, black-masked gunmen in pickup trucks mounted with anti-aircraft guns, and residents walking with suitcases. ISIL supporters posted photos on social media showing fighters next to Humvees and other U.S.-made military vehicles captured from Iraqi forces. The video and photos appeared authentic and matched Associated Press reporting of the events. A government employee who lives about a mile from the provincial headquarters, Umm Karam, said she left with her family Tuesday morning. “The situation is chaotic inside the city and there is nobody to help us,” she said “We are afraid. ... There is no police or army in Mosul.” She spoke on condition she be identified only by her nickname for fear of her safety. An estimated 500,000 people have fled Mosul, according to a U.N. spokesman in New York, citing the International Organization for Migration. The spokesman said aid organizations hope to reach those in need with food, water, sanita-

tion and other essential supplies as soon as the volatile security situation permits. The Islamic State has ramped up its insurgency over the past two years, presenting itself as the Sunni community’s champion against al-Maliki’s government The group was once alQaida’s branch in Iraq, but under its leader Abu Bakr alBaghdadi it has escalated its ambitions, sending fighters into Syria to join the rebellion against President Bashar Assad. Its jihadists became notorious as some of the most ruthless fighters in the rebellion — and other rebels turned against it, accusing it of trying to hijack the movement. Al-Qaida’s central command, angered over its intervention in Syria, threw the group out of the terrorist network. But it has been making gains on both sides of the border. In Syria, it took control of an eastern provincial capital of Raqqa, and in the past month it has launched an offensive working its way toward the Iraqi border. Islamic State fighters in eastern Syria crossed into Iraq to help their brethren in the Mosul area, activists on the Syrian side said. They tried to take the border crossing itself, but Kurdish fighters on either side fended them off. The militants were able to seize the nearest Iraqi town to the border, Rabeea, the activists said. The group earlier this year took over Fallujah and parts of Sunni-dominated Anbar province, and has stepped up its long-running campaign of bombings and other violence in Baghdad and elsewhere. The Mosul crisis comes as al-Maliki is working to assemble a coalition after elections in late April, relying even more on Shiite parties. Sunnis and Kurds have grown increasingly disillusioned with al-Maliki, accusing him of dominating power.

5 US troops killed by friendly fire in Afghanistan By RAHIM FAIEZ and PATRICK QUINN Associated Press

KABUL, Afghanistan — Five American special operations troops were killed by a U.S. airstrike called in to help them after they were ambushed by the Taliban in southern Afghanistan, in one of the deadliest friendly fire incidents in nearly 14 years of war, officials said Tuesday. The deaths were a fresh reminder that the conflict is nowhere near over for some U.S. troops, who will keep fighting for at least two more years. Pentagon spokesman Rear Adm. John Kirby said the five American troops were killed Monday “during a security operation in southern Afghanistan.” “Investigators are looking into the likelihood that friendly fire was the cause. Our thoughts and prayers are with the families of these fallen,” Kirby said in a statement.

In Washington, two U.S. defense officials said the five Americans were special operations force members, but they were not more specific. The officials spoke on condition of anonymity because notification of the families of the five had not yet been completed. The deaths occurred during a joint operation of Afghan and NATO forces in the Arghandab district of southern Zabul province ahead of Saturday’s presidential runoff election, said provincial police chief Gen. Ghulam Sakhi Rooghlawanay. After the operation was over, the troops came under attack from the Taliban and called in air support, he said. “Unfortunately five NATO soldiers and one Afghan army officer were killed mistakenly by NATO airstrike,” Rooghlawanay said. There was no way to independently confirm Rooghlawanay’s comments. The coalition would not comment and NATO

headquarters in Brussels also declined to comment. However, special operations forces often come under fire on joint operations and are responsible for calling in air support when needed. Because of constraints placed by President Hamid Karzai, such airstrikes are usually called “in extremis,” when troops fear they are about to be killed. Airstrikes have long caused tensions between the Afghan government and coalition forces, especially when they cause civilian casualties. Airstrikes that kill coalition soldiers are far less common. One of the worst such incidents came in April 2002, when four Canadian soldiers were killed by an American F-16 jet fighter that dropped a bomb on a group of troops during night firing exercise in southern Kandahar. In April 2004, former National Football League player Pat Tillman was killed by coalition fire while serving in an Army

Ranger unit in one of the most highly publicized cases. The Taliban claimed responsibility for Monday’s ambush in Zabul. A Taliban spokesman, Qari Yousef Ahmadi, said a battle took place between foreign troops and Taliban fighters in the Arghandab district, and a “huge number” of NATO soldiers were killed or wounded in the fighting. The Taliban often exaggerate their claims. The insurgents have intensified attacks on Afghan and foreign forces ahead of Saturday’s presidential runoff, and officials are concerned there could be more violence around the time of the vote, although the first round in April passed relatively peacefully. Of the 30,000 or so U.S. troops left in Afghanistan, special operations forces are among the only ones that are active on the battlefield, mentoring and advising Afghan commandos during raids.

An even smaller group that operates independently of the NATO coalition mandate, which expires at the end of the year, goes after high-value targets including the remnants of al-Qaida. Many of those special forces are likely to remain after the end of 2014, when foreign combat troops leave the country. Although the U.S. has pledged 9,800 troops will remain until the end of 2016, a bilateral security agreement allowing them to do so has yet to be signed. The two candidates vying to succeed Karzai have said they will sign the deal. Most of those troops will be training and advising the Afghan army and police, but a small counterterrorism force will still go after high value Jihadists still in the country. The main opposition candidate, former foreign minister Abdullah Abdullah, has little love for the Taliban and is unlikely to stand in the way of such operations. The other contender, for-

mer finance minister and Karzai adviser Ashraf Ghani Ahmadzai, may be more reticent. Separately, a NATO statement said a service member died Monday as a result of a non-battle injury in eastern Afghanistan. The deaths bring to 36 the number of NATO soldiers killed so far this year in Afghanistan, with eight service members killed in June. Casualties have been falling in the U.S.-led military coalition as its forces pull back to allow the Afghan army and police to fight the Taliban insurgency. All combat troops are scheduled to be withdrawn from the country by the end of this year. Violence against Afghans, however has continued unabated. Insurgents attacked two vehicles carrying civilian de-miners in eastern Logar province, killing eight and wounding three, said provincial spokesman Din Mohammad Darwesh.

Pakistan forces repel attack near Karachi airport By ADIL JAWAD and REBECCA SANTANA Associated Press

KARACHI, Pakistan — Gunmen in Pakistan attacked a training facility for airport police near the Karachi airport Tuesday, forcing a temporary suspension of flights and triggering a brief shootout with security forces just days after a Taliban assault on the country’s busiest airfield. Law enforcement personnel managed to quickly repulse the attack by as many as three gunmen, an assault claimed by a resurgent Taliban who warned its violence “wasn’t over yet.” And as Pakistan launched new airstrikes on militants in its northwestern tribal region, questions arose whether Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif would

abandon government-sponsored peace talks with them for an aggressive military offensive. Television stations aired footage of security guards frantically taking up positions behind buildings or earthen berms at the training facility, roughly 1 kilometer (a half mile) from Karachi’s Jinnah International Airport, where the Taliban attacked Sunday night. The Pakistani military also sent soldiers to assist. Airport Security Force spokesman Ghulam Abbas Memon said two to three gunmen tried to enter the training academy from two different entrances. “Our men retaliated and repulsed” the gunmen, Memon said. Col. Tahir Ali, a senior official with the Airport Secu-

rity Force, said two militants fired toward a hostel for female employees on the academy grounds. He said no one was hurt. The Civil Aviation Authority, which is responsible for running the country’s airports, initially said on Twitter that all flights at the airport were suspended but later reported that operations had resumed. “The aim of the attackers was to create a panic, and we shouldn’t be playing into their hands,” the head of the airport security force, Azam Khan, told Pakistani television. The attackers escaped into the vast slum that borders the airport. Karachi is a sprawling city of at least 18 million people, and members of the Pakistani Taliban in recent years have migrated to the city from

the northwest to escape military operations and drone strikes there. The result has been a steep deterioration in Karachi’s security. Tuesday’s firefight came on the heels of a ferocious siege Sunday night by 10 Taliban fighters who stormed a VIP and cargo terminal at the Karachi airport in an attack that killed 26 people and the Taliban gunmen. At least 11 members of the Airport Security Force were killed during that attack. Pakistani authorities discovered more bodies from that siege Tuesday morning. Airport authorities found seven bodies in a burned building at the airport, charred beyond recognition, said the head of the Karachi Municipal Corporation, Rauf Akhtar Farooqi. The discovery of the bodies,

roughly a day after Pakistani officials said the airport had been secured, will raise more questions about security at the country’s busiest airport. Relatives of the dead reported receiving telephone calls from their loved ones trapped inside the burning building. “The last I spoke to him, he said there was intense firing going on and that a building was also on fire,” said Junaidul Haq, whose brother died. Pakistani media reported that the seven were airport workers who hid from the fighting but got trapped and burned to death. The head of the Civil Avia-

tion Authority, Mohammad Yusuf, said authorities tried twice to reach the burning building during the siege but came under fire. After security officials cleared the airport, they went back to search the building because there were reports of people trapped inside. The Pakistani Taliban has been trying to overthrow the government and establish its hard-line rule across the country. Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif’s government repeatedly has tried to negotiate with the militants to end the fighting but those efforts have collapsed.

Seals deal Oilers their 1st loss By JOEY KLECKA Peninsula Clarion

Mistakes and missed opportunities left the Peninsula Oilers with their first loss of the season Tuesday evening at Coral Seymour Memorial Park in Kenai, losing a 5-2 game against the San Francisco Seals in the third game of the season-opening, four-game series. The Oilers have a chance to win the series straight out with a 7 p.m. game tonight, before resting up for another fourgame series with the Lake Erie (Michigan) Monarchs. After outscoring the Seals a combined 15-3 in the first two games, Peninsula simply could not find a way to get players around the bases in the early innings, but were able to stay in the game with

solid pitching from Andrew Wright. “I was just trying to get used to the new climate here, and I felt OK, it’s the first outing here in Alaska,” Wright said. Wright is a freshman from the University of Southern California, and said the biggest change for him Tuesday night was keeping his throwing arm warm in the nippy Kenai breeze. “I got behind in counts and had to come back, get my pitch count up,” Wright said. “I was just missing a little bit.” Although he received the loss on the mound, Wright gave up one hit and one run in five innings of play and struck out five. “We just weren’t able to hit enough balls hard,” said Oilers coach Kyle Richardson. “Their pitcher did a good job of

keeping us off balance and staying away from our barrels.” The Oilers dropped to 2-1 overall with the loss, while the Seals improved their season to 5-6. “The win tonight was huge,” said Seals coach Jake Ganz. “It gets this road trip going, we don’t dig ourselves too big a hole right now. It’s a good feeling for the guys to get out of here playing good.” San Francisco was able to get good pitching out of Mikey Ramirez, who received the win with seven hits, two runs, six strikeouts and only two walks in 7 1-3 innings. “He did a stellar job,” Ganz said. “He prepared himself, he had five days off and took care of what he had to do be-

Spurs are too hot for Heat

BRIAN MAHONEY AP Basketball Writer

MIAMI — Maybe in a video game. Possibly in the pregame layup line. But shoot this way in the NBA Finals, against the twotime defending champions? “It’s not something you can plan for,” San Antonio reserve Manu Ginobili said. “There was no magic plays. We just

moved the ball and every shot went in.” Not quite every shot. But just about. Kawhi Leonard scored a career-high 29 points, and the Spurs made a finals-record 75.8 percent of their shots in the first half in a 111-92 victory over the Miami Heat on Tuesday night that gave them a 2-1 lead. The Spurs made 19 of their first 21 shots and finished 25 of

33 in the first half, bettering the 75 percent shooting by Orlando against the Lakers in the 2009 finals. “It’s a hit-or-miss league,” Miami’s Dwyane Wade said. The Spurs didn’t do much missing. “I don’t think we’ll ever shoot 76 percent in a half ever again,” Spurs coach Gregg Popovich said. The Spurs led by as much as

25 and were only briefly challenged in their second lopsided victory in the series. LeBron James and Dwyane Wade had 22 points for the Heat, who host Game 4 on Thursday. Returning to the arena where they were oh-so-close to winning a fifth championship last year, the Spurs came out playing like they were trying to build a lead that was impossible to blow.

Deal picks Gustavus

Brown Bears’ Zulkanycz, Colwell make USHL training camp roster By JEFF HELMINIAK Peninsula Clarion

In his three years with the Kenai River Brown Bears, Anchorage’s Conor Deal became known for his commitment to hockey and fitness. Deal plans on picking up right where he left off at Gustavus Adolphus College, a Division III school in St. Peter, Minnesota. Deal announced his commitment to the Gusties on Tuesday. “Right after the season, my mom and I took a trip to Minnesota to tour some of the Division III schools,” said Deal, the son of Tim and Denise. “When I toured Gustavus, I fell in love with the place right when I got there. “The rink is right on campus and I liked the student life. I’m excited now that I committed.” Kenai River head coach Geoff Beauparlant said that Deal took a little extra time to make sure he was making the right decision. “I commend him for doing that,” Beauparlant said. “That shows he mature. It’s a very big life decision and he made the best one for him.” Deal was a noted physical fitness nut while with the Brown Bears, and not surprisingly a cellphone call Tuesday found him scaling Mount Marathon in Seward in preparation for the famed July 4 race. Deal plans to make fitness his career, and will study something like physical therapy or sports nutrition in college. Beauparlant said having a fitness leader like Deal on the team rubs off on other players. Deal has Alec Butcher, a former Bears forward from Anchorage, running mountains this summer. “At our Anchorage camp, Alec said he has been running mountains with Conor,” Beauparlant said. “(Deal) takes office training seriously.” He will join a team that has been to the Minnesota Intercollegiate Athletic Conference championship game in four of the past five seasons. Coach Brett Petersen has a 182-141-28 overall record in 13 seasons at the school. “It’s a very competitive program,” said Deal, who had

Rick Van Hatten, and Carmen and Chris Stephl, as host parents. “I really wanted to go to a situation where the program was competitive right off the bat, and Gustavus was the right fit.” Deal played three seasons for the Brown Bears, getting 20 points last season, 18 points in 2012-13 and five points in 2011-12. But Beauparlant said Deal’s impact can’t be measured with points. “The two biggest areas that Conor excels in is in the faceoff circle winning faceoffs, and the second is on the penalty kill with his willingness to block shots,” Beauparlant said. “His defensive game is strong. He’s a guy you can rely on in the last minute to close out a game. “He’s also willing to go to the tough areas. At the college level, that is even more important than it is at our level.” Deal said the Gusties lost four forwards, so he is looking forward to the opportunity to come in and compete right away. Deal said he will room with former Brown Bears teammate Jake Bushey, who played with Deal for the Bears for a season and a half before getting traded to the Fairbanks Ice Dogs. “The Brown Bears developed me as a player but also as a person,” Deal said. “It was a great experience walking around town where people knew your first name, and having little kids ask you for your autograph. “Coach Bo and coach Oliver (David) did well getting us out in the community and working on our character on and off the ice.” Bears notes: Forwards Nathan Colwell and Zack Zulkanycz, a Kenai Central product, have made the training camp roster for the Dubuque (Iowa) Fighting Saints of the Tier I United States Hockey League. Beauparlant said he has heard there will be 30 or 35 at the training camp, a number that will eventually be cut down to 23. “We’re very proud of each of them making it as far as they have,” Beauparlant said. “We know they will represent the organization well.”

Kenai Golf Course gets perfect mix of rain, sunshine

hat a great week of golf at the Kenai Golf Course! Rain and sunshine, a great combination that continues to improve the course in every area. The greens continue to fill in and the tee boxes and fairways look better each day. Now all we need is a little warmer temperature to fill in that equation. The last week has been a busy week, therefore, I will get right into the events. Before I do, I would like to thank Neal Baldwin and John Ragan for their great work on our carts. Thank you both, so much, for your dedication to the Kenai Golf Course. Also, thanks to Chris Kimball for his continued work on all our trails, especially on No. 3, which is a big, big project. Many thanks to Doug Haralson for his continued work on our fairways and to Chris Murray for his work on our tee boxes and keeping them in great shape. Thanks also to Steve Honrud for taking care of the many fallen trees, felled by the windstorm. I also appreciate the hard work of Dan Young for building the viewing stand on No. 6. That made the course even safer. I would like to thank everyone for all the positive comments concerning the condition of our golf course and the changes and additions we have made. We will continue to improve the course in all areas. We are always open to your suggestions.

Ron Goecke, Tommy Carver and Chris Murray did an outstanding job. The next Beginning Golfer Ladies’ Clinic is July 7 to 9. These clinics are for ladies who are beginning golfers or who would like a good review of basic golf skills. Teachers will help students with their long game, short game, sand traps, hazards and overall knowledge of the game. We keep it fun and low pressure and we have them playing the course on the third day of class. They even become proficient with power carts. No clubs? No problem. We have clubs to get them going. Class fee: $50. Students enrolling in another clinic receive a 40 percent discount on subsequent clinics.

Twins opener rained out The Post 20 Twins were supposed to open their season Tuesday on the road in Anchorage against East, but the game was rained out. There is no makeup date set. The Twins home opener is Thursday, with a 12:30 p.m. doubleheader against South. The game is at the Kenai Little League fields. — Staff report

fore, and came out here and did his job.” Eli Alcantar finished up and recorded the save with only one hit and zeros across the rest of the board. After a sluggish start to the game that saw no scoring, San Francisco scored first in the top of the fourth when Wright’s pitch to catcher Gabriel Munoz shot behind home plate and allowed Nick Egli to score from third base. By the fifth inning, it was clear that Wright was beginning to struggle, as Tucker Starkey was hit by a pitch and later advanced all the way to third after Wright badly overthrew first baseman Ethan McGill. In the top of the sixth, Joe Armstrong nailed a single that brought home Egli for a second time and putting the Seals up two runs. The Oilers did not score until the bottom of the seventh, when Ramirez was charged with a balk that brought Josh Rose home from third base. “I still thought our inability to do anything at the plate helped them settle in and get them comfortable,” Richardson said. “That’s what happened the last couple days, we put some pressure on them. Today, they got comfortable.” San Francisco really did some damage in the eighth inning with three runs. Joey Marquez scored on a Joe Armstrong single, followed by a single from Dustin Dhanani that scored Ian Horne and Egli. AJ Hernandez hit a single in the bottom of the eighth that scored Carter Yagi, but that was all the Oilers managed.

. . . Measles Continued from page A-1

According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, measles was documented as eliminated, not native, in the U.S. in 2000. This year the nation has seen 397 cases in 20 states and 16 outbreaks — excess of what would be expected. Currently, the Philippines is experiencing a large measles outbreak, and, according to the CDC, many U.S. cases have been associated with cases brought over form the Philippines. Barrows said random measles cases are expected from unimmunized tourists. However, the nearly 400 reported cases in the nation is surprising. The Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices recommends a two-dose schedule of the MMR — measles, mumps and rubella — vaccine. The first dose should be given when children are 12-15 months old and the second at 4-6 years old. The Kenai Public Health Center provides immunizations for children from infants to 3 years old with no insurance or eligibility requirements. For older children, the center is restricted to uninsured or underinsured or Alaska Native Medicaid clients. Other healthcare providers on the Peninsula can also provide MMR vaccines. Barrows said under- or unimmunized children exposed to measles are at a higher risk for death from the virus.

Sullivan told reporters that he and Begich so far have been singled out for attacks by thirdparty groups. Outside ads have been a fixture on Alaska airwaves for months, and groups have reported reserving millions of dollars in air time ahead of the elections. Sullivan said he and Begich are the only candidates who can put a stop to it. Leading gubernatorial candidates have complained about the difficulty of buying air

‘If you’ve got measles around you and you are not vaccinated, you probably are going to get them.’ — Charlie Barrows For adults who have never been vaccinated for MMR, they are recommended to get one dose. Healthcare providers and college students are recommended to get two doses, Barrows said. Barrows said measles is highly contagious airborne virus, and symptoms include fever, rash, runny nose and runny eyes. People who think they may have contracted measles should go to their regular medical provider, she said. Healthcare providers are encouraged to culture the rash and send it to the state laboratory, Barrows said. Measles can be misdiagnosed as scarlet fever, Kawasaki disease or dengue fever, she said. Unimmunized Alaskans traveling outside the state, especially internationally, Barrows said, are at high risk of contracting measles. “If you’ve got measles around you and you are not vaccinated, you probably are going to get them,” Barrows said.

During the second day of briefings, police had little new information to provide, but Sandahl said they are taking all logical steps to find the missing group. “We remain optimistic we will be able to reunite them with their family,” Sandahl said. “We want nothing more at this point and hope they are safe.” The family lived upstairs in a four-plex on California Avenue off of Wildwood Drive in North Kenai for almost two years, said property managers Jeff Pfile and Anna Haave. The two said they first became concerned when the rent went unpaid and they did not hear from the family after the fiveday grace period. “If I felt they were going out of town I would have been the first person they called because they are so responsible (for paying their rent on time),” Haave said. “For them to not say anything is not normal.” Haave said at first she thought the family went camping, but still found it strange they didn’t make arrangements to pay rent prior to leaving.

talked to a neighbor, who first noticed the group missing before June 1. When Haave visited the complex, she said she noticed their storage area under a carport was open and both Jividen’s black truck and Adams’ car were parked there. “They left everything — kayak, canoe, camping gear, the kids’ car seats,” Haave said. “Given the circumstances I didn’t feel things were adding up.” The father of Michelle and Jaracca Hundley, Jaramiah Hundley, died in a motorcycle accident May 30, 2012. Sandahl said finding the missing family is the top priority for the Kenai Police Department. The Kenai Fire Department along with residents in the community have joined the ground search, which already includes Federal Bureau of Investigation agents from Anchorage and the Alaska and Mat-Su Search and Rescue dog teams. The Alaska State Troopers have provided a helicopter to search the area from the air. The search has expanded from the epicenter of their apartment building on California Avenue to the forested areas north of Wildwood Correction Facility, Sandahl said. Police

have also used all-terrain vehicles to access trails and officers have interviewed neighbors. Sandahl said photos of the missing family have been sent to all law enforcement agencies in Alaska. He said he hopes everyone in Alaska would make a mental note of the pictures of the missing family and if they do see them to call the Kenai Police at 907-283-7879. “Don’t assume information isn’t worthwhile; we want to hear anything that may help,” he said. Anyone who lives in the area of Wildwood Drive, California Street, First Street and Second Street in Kenai and has seen anything suspicious over the last couple weeks is asked to share the information. Haave said Adams first moved into the apartment with her two daughters and a couple of roommates nearly two years ago, but had asked her landlord to evict her roommates after the first month. Adams put a restraining order on her roommates and Haave said she was able to evict them within 24 hours. According to Alaska court records, Adams filed for a protective order from Samantha Sallison and Jonah Bailey on

efforts to write safety rules for such flights by drones have been slow, and it is not expected to meet the deadline. FAA officials are on their third attempt to draft regulations acceptable to the Transportation Department and the White House. Regulators have said they expect to propose rules before the end of the year intended to clear the way for flights by drones weighing 55 pounds or less. However, it will take months and perhaps years before such regulations become final. Much of the commercial demand for unmanned aircraft is for small drones, some of which weigh only a few pounds. The FAA estimates that within five years after regulations are in place there will be about 7,500 commercial drones operating in the U.S. Ben Gielow, general counsel for the Association for Unmanned Vehicle Systems International, a trade association for the

commercial drone industry, said the first approval of commercial flights over land is “an exciting moment,” but “we believe more can and must be done to allow for limited operations for small (unmanned aircraft) over land.” FAA Administrator Michael Huerta has said drafting such rules is complex because they must ensure that the large volume and diversity of manned aircraft in U.S. skies are protected. Even a small drone that collides with plane traveling at high speeds or gets chewed up by helicopter rotors could cause a crash. But as the cost of small drones has come down and their sophistication and usefulness has increased, entrepreneurs and businesses — from real estate agents to wedding video makers — aren’t waiting for government permission. Drone industry officials have warned that the longer the FAA takes to write regulations, the more rogue commercial operators will multiply.

Nov. 8, 2012. Adams’ cousin Audre Gifford said her family didn’t know much about Brandon Jividen when the two first began dating, only that he moved to Alaska from West Virginia. When she came to sign a new lease, Adams brought Jividen and said he was going to sign the lease too. “He gave me so little information, no emergency contacts, only a name and Social Security number,” Haave said. Pfile said the mood of the neighborhood has always been mellow with kids playing in the yard and has not any issues like this until now. Jividen is described as 6 feet tall with brown hair and eyes. Adams is 5 feet, 4 inches tall, weighs 100 pounds with sandy blonde hair. Michelle has strawberry blonde hair and Jaracca has curly light brown hair. “I can’t say I remember their kids with so many running around all the time,” MurrellHaunold said. “I would not be able to point them out. I hope it ends well and they come back safe.” Reach Dan Balmer at daniel.balmer@peninsulaclarion. com.

Diesel spilled on Dalton Highway FAIRBANKS (AP) — The state of Alaska says a tanker truck spilled about 2,500 gallons of diesel fuel on the Dalton Highway north of the Brooks Range. The Fairbanks Daily News-Miner reports that the state Department of Environmental Conservation said Tuesday the northbound NANA Oilfield Services truck left the road and rolled over Saturday afternoon about 110 miles south of Deadhorse. The truck was carrying about 9,700 gallons. The state says the spill reached a small stream but it has gotten no reports of affected wildlife. Cleanup is underway. C

plan to offer you some outstanding brownie recipes went awry after I took another exploration through Renée Behnke’s “Memorable Recipes to Share with Family and Friends,” which was highlighted in this column in 2009 when the book was first published. (I promise, I’ll bring you Behnke’s Black and White Cocoa Bars next week, along with a few other “to die for” brownie recipes from other equally outstanding bakers.) With garden-fresh tomatoes and zucchini, not to mention fresh herbs thriving, Behnke’s recipes for Sautéed Tiny Tomatoes with Chile Flakes and Zucchini Fritters looked particularly enticing, as did Lemon and Sage Cornish Game Hens, from the book’s cover. These recipes, along with the other 140 exceptional recipes in Behnke’s book, do much to further illustrate just what makes them memorable, as do the book’s 125 full-color photographs, by Angie Norwood Brown, for dishes that include appetizers, soups, salads, sides, main

courses and desserts. Behnke’s elegant, easy style is inspiring and will appeal to all kinds of cooks, from those of us who cook mostly for family and friends, to those who regularly entertain at home. Particularly noteworthy is Behnke’s doahead tips and sophisticated, yet unpretentious ideas for decorating. Seeing the book’s image of a table set for dinner adorned with little more than glimmering votive candles and clear vases filled with fresh-cut hydrangeas was particularly exciting, inasmuch as many of our own backyard gardens are already burgeoning with

vibrant flowers (including statement-making hydrangeas) this time of the year. As the president emeritus of Sur La Table, a serious cook’s store selling quality goods for the kitchen and table, Behnke, no doubt, can create a memorable meal for any one, at any time. Thanks to Benhnke’s willingness to share, so can we. Writes Behnke, “What I want most to accomplish with this book is to give you the confidence, the building blocks, the tools to help you pull together great dinner parties, celebratory luncheons, or any other delicious gathering of friends.

“For this easy, colorful side dish, small grape tomatoes are best.” - Renée Behnke.

In recent years we’ve seen a great variety of tomatoes available, no longer just big beefsteaks and plum tomatoes, but a range of sizes, shapes, and colors that are wonderful in countless different recipes. For this easy, colorful side dish, small grape tomatoes are best. They are conveniently bite-sized, with a slightly firmer texture than cherry tomatoes, so they hold up well to pan frying. If you can only find cherry tomatoes, be sure to sauté them for just a minute or so, to ensure that they hold their shape. 2 tablespoons olive oil

1 small yellow or sweet onion, diced 5 cloves roasted garlic, with its roasting oil (recipe follows) 1½ pounds grape or cherry tomatoes 2 tablespoons minced fresh flat-leaf parsley ½ teaspoon dried red pepper flakes ¼ cup chopped mixed fresh herbs (oregano, thyme, chives and/or tarragon) salt Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the onion and roasted garlic and cook, stirring often, for about 5 minutes, until the C

onion is tender and aromatic (mash the garlic a bit to help break it up and distribute it evenly). Add the tomatoes, parsley, and pepper flakes. Increase the heat to medium-high and sauté, stirring occasionally, for about 3 minutes, until the tomatoes are heated through and you see that a handful of the tomatoes’ skins have begun to split. Remove the skillet from the heat and sprinkle with the garlic oil, mixed herbs and salt. Transfer to a warmed serving bowl or individual plates and serve immediately. Makes 6 to 8 servings.

Roasting garlic: Set garlic cloves (or a whole head of garlic) on a piece of foil, drizze 1 to 2 tablespoons of olive oil over, and wrap securely in the foil. Roast in a 375 degree oven until tender, 20 to 30 minutes depending on how much garlic you’ve roasting. Let cool in the foil, then pinch the individual tender cloves from their skins. Some recipes call for the roasting oil, or you can save it to use in a vinaigrette or to toss with steamed vegetables.

NEW REDSKIN POTATO SALAD

part 2

Swanson River Fire 1959 Funny River Fire 2014 I jumped in the Jeep parked in front of my car with my buddy Paul. Betty jumped in my big old Plymouth station wagon with seven kids and valuablesno seat belts in those days. She roared into gear and almost hit me before I could get the Jeep’s started and out of her way. The way out of the fire was to head to the beach. The trail out of the homestead was deep and narrow with ruts. I could see in the rear view mirror, Betty trying to keep up with me, fish tailing and bouncing from side to side down the long narrow trail in my big blue and black four-door Plymouth station wagon. I was so excited myself that when I saw some rabbits, spruce hens, fox’s and coyotes running down the same trail in front of me, I started to scream, “run bunnies run” over again. I opened up the canvas door of the Jeep at one time, while still in motion, to see if I was going to run over a bunny in the trail. I scared Paul so badly, he thought I was jumping out of the Jeep. He started crying, clapping his hands and say and “run bunnies run” over and over. I was busy keeping the Jeep on the trail and looking in the mirror to see if Betty was in the right tracks and not hung up in some treetop and trying to calm Paul. We made it to the edge of the beach, bounced off the shelf that the tide had made and onto the sandy beach, turning, churning and spinning, throwing rocks and sand everywhere. We finally got to this small fishing shack that had been on the beach for years. We herded the kids out of the car, into the shack with Betty jabbering at whoever-we gotta feed the kids, we gotta feed the kids. She kept

saying repeating over and over! “No we don’t!” I shouted back, “it’s not supper time yet!” Just then a big thick cloud of smoke rolled over the top of the bluff and onto the beach, choking us. Betty and I unwrapped the guns, (every gun was loaded) and lead the kids to the edge of the water of Cook Inlet, soaked the towels in water, placed them over the heads of our kids and over our heads. We set by to waters edge with moose, bears, coyotes and a couple of wolves, that hung back watching us with their beady, bright eyes, rabbits, and yes small bunnies, a lone fox, a bunch of spruce hens and various birds. We sat at the waters edge for a long time before the smoke cleared. We ate later but I don’t remember much about that, my stomach was tied in knots. Then we heard a pickup coming down the beach. It was my husband and Gene looking for us to see if we were all safe. They had been caught in the middle of the fire and had to push burning trees and brush out of the way to get to the homestead just in time to be bombed by the pink fire retardant that had been released from the airplanes above. Our nice new blue Ford pickup was bright

pink. The guys were black with soot. They told us exactly what we had worried so much about, setting on the beach under the wet towels-was the homestead safe? Yes, they said, but the house is bright pink and the potato field was plowed up to make a firebreak. All Betty and I could do was cry. Just as fast as the fire roared through it was gone. The Army and National Guard stayed in tents set up along the trail into the homestead, to take care of any hotspots. They were gone in a couple a days but the scar’s from the fire lasted for years and years, all because someone camping on Swanson River did not put out a little campfire. We had wonderful neighbors that had big D-8 cats that worked wonders and kept everyone’s home from burning by pushing away trees from the houses and making firebreaks. If it had not been for them and the CB there would have been a lot of personal loss. Our six kids and Betty’s daughter, through the years, told us that they did not know there was a fire until Betty and I started running in and out of the house, shouting at each other. They thought we had lost our mind or that we were mad at each other. I still see all the kids watching from behind trees wondering what those crazy ladies were doing running back and forth from the house with streaming toilet paper, clanking silverware and then coming back out with guns! It’s a very funny picture now and one that we still talk about.

Go for the food: In Annapolis, crab rules BY PHILIP ELLIOTT Associated Press

ANNAPOLIS, Md. — Do not wear your Sunday Best. That’s the first rule for eating messy crabs here on the Chesapeake Bay. Everything else — demonstrating brutal hammer skills, sending up clouds of powdered spice blend, shaking the wobbly communal picnic tables — can be forgiven here at Jimmy Cantler’s Riverside Inn. After all, everyone commits at least one of these offenses during a visit. A family-run institution on the Mill Creek since 1974, this casual crab shack is a favorite for those lucky enough to live in Maryland’s picturesque state capital, as well as visitors from nearby Baltimore and Washington. Because how many other restaurants have industrialsized wash tubs off the back deck for patrons to rinse their arms between courses? Tucked off a side road a short drive from the Statehouse, this low-key restaurant is Mid-Atlantic comfort food, served on

plastic trays and with plenty of napkins. Seats inside are easier to come by, but then you would miss out on the breeze coming off the water. Instead, wait for a bench on the back patio at one of the communal tables. The parking lot is fine for loitering, but head down to the lower decks where workers sort the crabs by size and boaters get free docking with their lunch. There is something comforting about knowing the meal is undoubtedly fresh and, just hours earlier, was splashing around in the industrial tubs. That’s not to say fresh is the same as cheap. The steamed super-size crabs ran $105 a dozen on a recent visit. Large crabs were $75 a dozen. All come crusted in seasoning on the outside that inevitably ends up in a dust cloud all over everyone sitting nearby as hammers — and shells — fly. The menu has slightly less pricey options for those who don’t want to spend an entire afternoon removing legs, cracking shells and scraping gills for what, really, isn’t all that much

meat. The soft-shell crabs are crunchy and a bit salty, full of flavor and like biting into the Chesapeake Bay. The sandwich is an easy-to-eat plate, but the platter offers two juicy softshell crabs. Now is not the time to exercise moderation. The crab cakes are almost entirely meat with just enough

filling to hold them together and keep them moist. As with the soft-shell crabs, the sandwich is solid but the platter is better. The jumbo shrimp live up to their name and the platter is enough to share, especially when matched with fries piled high. The tangy coleslaw cuts through the rich seafood and is a surprising bite of coolness on

a warm afternoon. Every order should also include a side of hush puppies. Wonderfully fried, not at all greasy and nicely chewy on the inside, they come with a small tub of butter for dipping. Fine dining, this is not. But it’s local and authentic. The brown paper table coverings aren’t here for kitsch. It’s there

for easy cleanup of errant shells that don’t make their way into the plastic beer buckets. Yes, it’s messy. But if a visitor doesn’t end up caked in crab shells and seasoning, he can’t walk to the side lot and shower his forearms in the industrial tub. And that would just be missing the whole experience.

Dunkin’ CEO: Our sandwiches are snacks, not lunch BY CANDICE CHOI AP Food Industry Writer

NEW YORK — If you’re grabbing a sandwich at Dunkin’ Donuts, the chain wants you to consider it a snack, not a full lunch. The chain has been expanding its sandwich offerings to bring in more business during the afternoon. But Dunkin’ Brands CEO Nigel Travis said those sandwiches — which include fried chicken and grilled cheese varieties — shouldn’t be considered lunch. “We’re not moving into lunch. We’re in snacking. We never talk about lunch,” Travis said in an interview. Travis said Dunkin’ is focused on two growth areas — breakfast and snacking. The strategy is a reflection of how

‘We’re not moving into lunch. We’re in snacking. We never talk about lunch.’ — Nigel Travis, CEO, Dunkin’ Brands people are increasingly eating several smaller meals a day, rather than sticking to just breakfast, lunch and dinner. Dunkin’, which is based in Canton, Massachusetts, isn’t the only company going after the snacking business. It’s a strategy being used by numerous fastfood chains to get people in the door between meals and help boost overall sales. Taco Bell, for example, has been featuring smaller bites positioned as snacks to attract customers during the late afternoon. And McDonald’s snack wraps and fruit

smoothies are designed to draw people throughout the day. For its part, Dunkin has historically done most of its business before 11 a.m. To attract more customers after that morning crush, it rolled out a lineup of deli-like sandwiches in 2012. The offerings are relatively compact so they can be easily eaten on the go, but most have north of 400 calories. The chicken salad sandwich, which is served on a croissant, has 580 calories, according to Dunkin’s website. The fried chicken sandwiches range from C

590 calories to 660 calories, depending on the toppings. The Texas toast grilled cheese sandwiches have 510 calories, if you don’t include ham or bacon. Even the tuna salad wrap, which sounds healthier, has 520 calories. What exactly qualifies as a snack varies from person to person. But Lauri Boone, a registered dietitian, in the Rochester, New York, area, said people should think of snacks as a “small, satisfying portion of food that can help curb hunger or a craving between meals.” Some examples she gave were a handful of nuts and a piece of fruit, a small cup of yogurt, or a handful of trail mix. When asked whether a 500-calorie sandwich could be a snack, she said no. “That is a meal,” she said. “I

can’t think of a good example where I would recommend a 500-calorie snack.” Dunkin’ does offer some lighter sandwiches, however. The turkey, cheddar and bacon sandwich has 440 calories and the chain recently introduced a

grilled chicken flatbread sandwich that has 360 calories. Travis noted that the chain’s lighter “DDSmart” sandwiches that are under 400 calories have proved popular, a reflection of the growing interest in healthy eating.

Woman’s texts to her ex threaten her marriage DEAR ABBY: I’m a twice-divorced woman who found my present husband late in life. I’m in my early 60s, and my husband is in his 70s. We married quickly because I didn’t want to be alone in life and I thought I loved him. My husband works while I stay at home because of a medical condition. Because I get bored, I spend some of my time communicating with and texting male friends from the past and one of my ex-husbands. We have fun texting and sometimes it goes a little beyond that. I realize I am married and my ex is engaged, but how harmful can this be? I don’t think I’m hurting anyone, and it helps the day go by. Is this considered cheating? I don’t think it is because my ex and I live in different states and the chances of us ever getting together again are slim to none. — PASSING TIME DEAR PASSING TIME: This isn’t harmless fun; it’s a threat to your marriage. Whether I consider it cheating is beside the point. Whether your husband and your ex’s fiancee would consider it cheating is the question. If they got wind of your “pastime,” I suspect both would be hurt, angry and feel violated. Not only that, you could lose Husband No. 3.

ly become boob-obsessed. The first thing she does in the morning is point at my chest and say, “Boobs!” If she hugs me, she tries to grab them. Sometimes I catch her staring at my chest in fascination. I scold her when she grabs at them, but it’s disturbing. I never taught her the word “boob” and feel annoyed that she probably learned it from our sitter. When I spoke to Abigail Van Buren the sitter about it, she laughed and said it’s perfectly normal and that a lot of kids are boob-obsessed. But it doesn’t seem normal to me, and I’m creeped out. I have started wearing sweatshirts to keep covered up. My little girl has also started grabbing my butt and lifting up my shirt, and I’m nervous about how she’s acting around the sitter and other women in the family. Is this behavior normal? — CREEPED OUT IN VALENCIA, CALIF. DEAR CREEPED OUT: Children have been known to act out to get attention.

Hints from Heloise

By Leigh Rubin

Ziggy

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) HHH Use the morning to the max, when your powers of persuasion are at their peak. Do not underestimate the ramifications of mixing your personal life with your professional life. A radical change could head your way. Choose to go with the moment. Tonight: Go shopping. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) HHHH Use the morning to open up a discussion with a close associate. You will feel much better once you clear your chest. Use a second wind of energy in the afternoon in a way that benefits you. Try not to be frivolous. Tonight: Make the most of the moment. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) HHHH Zero in on what you want without any hesitation. You could be taken aback by all the choices that surround you in the morning. In the afternoon, retreat and think through your options. Make a call to a trusted friend or loved one. Tonight: Time to relax. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) HHH You could feel pressured by a situation and how it develops. You might want to rethink a decision more carefully that could affect a friendship. Pace yourself, and maintain a level head. Note a tendency to overspend. Tonight: Where the action is. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) HHHH You might be in a position where you see a situation differently from how you have in the past. As a result, you will want to head in a new direction. Have a discussion with an important friend or loved one before revealing your thoughts. Tonight: Work as late as need be.

What makes this yogurt greek? Dear Heloise: Can you tell me the difference between Greek Yogurt and regular yogurt, other than the price? — Hazel B. in Idaho An obvious difference is that Greek yogurt is thicker than regular yogurt because it is strained of all the whey (or extra liquid). This is what makes Greek yogurt not only thicker, but also healthier, because sugar and carbohydrates also are strained out with the liquid. Many people find that Greek yogurt has a tangy taste that’s different from regular yogurt, and almost double the protein, which is why people are really going crazy for it. If you don’t care for the taste of Greek yogurt by itself, try using it in dishes in place of sour cream. Another popular way to eat it is as a dip or salad dressing. — Heloise Salt hints Dear Heloise: After chopping onions, the odor can remain on your hands for days, and washing your hands doesn’t always help. What works well is to wet your hands, pour on a generous amount of salt and then rub your hands with the salt like it’s soap. Be sure to get it under your fingernails, too. If a faint odor remains, a second washing should do it. Also, if your coffee cups are stained with coffee, rinse them with water and dampen a paper towel. Then pour a small amount of salt into the cup. Scrub the inside of the cup with the damp paper towel. The stain easily comes out. This is especially handy in an office break room, where cleaning supplies are limited. — Mary A. in Nebraska

child will repeat the action for its shock value. Because you are concerned that your daughter’s behavior isn’t normal, the person to discuss this with would be her pediatrician. The doctor can put your fears to rest or alert you if there is something to worry about. Another thought: Ask your baby sitter to be more circumspect in the language she uses around your child if the word “boob” offends you, because children build their vocabularies repeating the words they hear.

With the 2014 Relay for Life theme “Finish the Fight!” rallying walkers to the new KCHS track Friday afternoon May 30th, by the following morning as high winds picked up it became apparent it was going to be a tough fight to finish the relay. “I pulled the walkers off the track at 9:00 am and forbade anyone from going out onto the track because there were large sheets of plywood that were blowing off the grandstands and landing on the track. We brought everyone indoors and continued to relay and complete our commitment, even though it was quite a party. When the Tesoro tent upended about 11:30 am I pulled the plug on the event and sent everyone home,” said Relay for Life event chair Johna Beech. Nevertheless this year’s Relay for Life totaled up a whopping $53,877.11 to date, which will go to fund cancer research through the American Cancer Society, according to Beech. “We had 32 teams and 274 participants. Our top teams were Our Lady of Perpetual Help at $ 7127.49, Central Peninsula Hospital at $4662, and Kenai DJJ & Friends at $3068.67. Our top individuals were Michael Webber of Seldovia raising $3145, followed by Joseph Yourkoski at $1410 and Allison Gottseman with $1010,” she reported. The opening ceremonies were led by Jenny Neyman, Kenai Mayor Pat Porter made the official welcome to KCHS and

Susie & Hall Smalley were the Survivor/Caregiver speakers. The National Anthem was sung by Hunter Hanson and Kenai Fellowship Pastor Rick Cupp gave the invocation. “It was a memorable year for sure with Ronnie Kier of the Main Street Tap and Grill who raised $1550 with the Shave/No Shave fundraiser. The “Shave” jar collected more money so he did shave his big beautiful beard at Main St. Bar & Grill on Saturday night. As a brand new Relay feature this year Artistic Puppy, Jon & Kara Taylor, lent their services with a special photo project. Participants wrote their reason for Relaying on a poster board, then Jon & Kara took their picture. The ‘Why I Relay’ photos Relay for Life teams zip up as wind & storm clouds gather during the all night trek. were projected in a slideshow that night at the event and those photos will be available to purchase with a portion of the proceeds going back to Relay for Life,” said Beech.

Firefighters, fresh from the fire lines, were welcomed to the community appreciation BBQ.

Firefighters get heroic sendoff from thankful community Everyone wanted to do something to express appreciation for the more than 700 first responders that arrived from all over the country and joined forces in a well-coordinated attack on one of the most threatening wildfires to communities of the Central Peninsula in recent history. “At each of the community meetings I attended people talked about their desire to thank the firefighters, then at the SoHi meeting Governor Parnell leaned over to me and said someone should do something and I said I’m on it. So I called around and got some folks together and a few days later we had a great turn out for a community appreciation barbeque where we fed some 1,500 meals,” explained State Senator Peter Micciche. A call went out from the Soldotna Chamber of Commerce and more than 50 volunteers showed up Sunday afternoon at the Soldotna Regional Sports Complex to prepare, cook and serve at the event. “They risked their lives to save our homes and when I asked who is here tonight that has lost a primary residence to the fire, not a single hand went up because not a single primary residence was lost and that didn’t happen by accident it happened because those men and women were out in the flames protecting our homes getting ahead of the fire and making fuel breaks. It gave us a chance to get up close and shake some sooty hands of some very brave folks and it was one of the most moving events I’ve been to,” said Micciche. Bruce Bartley a fire and rescue volunteer from Chugiak said he felt pretty good about the overall effort, “We hate losing structures. My partner and I were assigned to structure protection and we worked hard at it. I drove an initial attack engine down here Thursday from Palmer and jumped right in the middle of it. There was a lot of coordination and many moving parts working together but in the end I told my partner as much as we

hate to lose structures there is no house or tree that is worth dying for and with this fire we were able to accomplish both with no loss of primary structures and only one minor twisted knee,” said Bartley. Emma from Missoula, Montana has been a Hot Shot wildfire fighter for four seasons and had been on the Funny River lines for ten days before coming to the barbeque, “I’ve been on some pretty bad ones but never had a community throw a barbeque feed to say thank you before, this made us feel like rock stars.” The barbeque was planned during shift changes so that crews were arriving at different times and every time a new crew came into the sports complex to line up for dinner a spontaneous standing ovation

broke out. The man who led the 700 some firefighters was Alaska Interagency Incident Commander Rob Allen told the crowd that his team couldn’t have been successful without the support from Central Emergency Services, the Kenai Peninsula Borough, Kenai Fire Departments and State Troopers who assisted with the evacuations. Andy Loranger Kenai National Wildlife Refuge manager said, “This incident management team is an outstanding group and the firefighters are so highly trained and skilled that we really appreciate everything they have done. We all appreciate The Soldotna Chamber of Commerce organized 50 some volunteers to put on the firefighters the cooperation from the com- community barbeque. munity and this event meant a lot to each person assigned to this fire.”

Keegan, Nicki & Harold are smoking meats all night long at the famous Black Jaxx BBQ in Nicki the “Bean Queen” Harold & Keegan are back at Black Jaxx BBQ in Soldotna. Soldotna.

“Bean Queen” returns to her throne at Black Jaxx BBQ Many Alaskans who head south for the winter are jealously referred to as “Snow birds” by those who wish they could do the same. However, as some snow birds returned to the Peninsula this year to be asked how their winter was, a common reply was “Much worse than the one you had.” So was the reply from Oklahoma summer entrepreneur Harold Blunt of Black Jaxx Barbeque in Soldotna, who was happy to be back with his Bean Queen Nicki and selling out over 500 lbs of barbeque daily from his location across from Bailey’s furniture in Soldotna. “It was a cold winter down there and we don’t do barbeque down there, we vacation in Oklahoma,” said Harold who spends 18 hours a day 7 days a week manning his customize designed cooker, “I guess my day never ends, we sell out by afternoon and I start at 8:00 o’clock each night preparing the fresh meats for the cooker. My smoker uses only local alder woods cut especially for the right temperature and smoke for the 16 hour cook and that’s the secret that is really C

no secret just like anything else there are no short cuts if you want good meat to taste right it takes time so really my days never end until I head back to Oklahoma,” said Harold. Ever since Harold, the “King of Black Jaxx Barbeque” married Nicki she has become known fondly as the “Bean Queen.” “I got the original recipe from Harold and started expanding it from there and the beans are something that absolutely everyone loves,” says Nicki, but when asked what the secret, seemingly addictive ingredient is both Harold and Nicki laugh then get serious and say in harmony, “We can’t tell anyone

that!” Black Jaxx is open daily from 11:00am until 6:30pm or until they sell out which always is before 6:30. Black Jaxx is famous for their barbeque ribs, so tender the meat falls off the bone and into your mouth, brisket of beef, pulled pork, barbeque chicken, and bologna and of course the Bean Queens homemade barbeque beans. Black Jaxx will happily cater your event or party with advance notice just call Nicki, Keegan or Harold at 262-2255 all summer long and perhaps talk them into staying in the North where it’s not so cold and they can keep the smoker smokin’ for us all Customers line up every day until Nicki, Harold & Keegan sell out over 500lbs of freshly smoked winter long. meats & bbq beans.

Meet the team of professionals at APT in Soldotna.

Advanced Physical Therapy ads new programs for your personal wellness Advanced Physical Therapy is continuing to expand their wellness programs according to Jack Wade, DPT, COMT clinical director at Advanced Physical Therapy (APT). “Since we first opened the community has so embraced what we are doing that we have been able to expand our programs and staff. We now have eight different programs we are offering to the community. One is our women’s health education program under the direction of my wife Certified Ophthalmic Medical Technologist and Physical Therapist Maria Wade. A lot of people may not know that there are physical therapy options for women with symptoms such as incontinence and pelvic pain. We also have a new hand therapy program with Marc Whitman who is the only certified hand therapist on the Peninsula at this time and is able to help

people who may have arthritic conditions in their hand or carpal tunnel syndrome or may be recovering from a hand surgery or injury, so we have greatly expanded our offerings to help the community achieve wellness,” Wade told the Dispatch in an interview. Although APT works closely with doctors a referral from a physician is not required in Alaska says Wade, “If you come by or make an appointment for an evaluation and we feel your symptom is important for your doctor to see we will communicate with them as well. Many times we let little things go longer than you need to deciding to live with pain or stiffness because we don’t realize that there are options out there to improve your quality of life, so we invite people to come in and see what is available to renew their energy and

strength. Many times we have pre-conceived notions about symptoms that must be treated by surgery or invasive injections without knowing of other conservative options available. There are many gentle manual techniques which are very effective and have been experiencing a boom in the U.S. over the last few years.” APT also offers Vestibular Therapy with Haley Bowen, DPT, COMT, “This is treatment of the inner ear for primarily balance impairment which can be caused by an imbalance in your inner ear and some gentle manual techniques can be used to re-position the inner ear crystals which can cure dizziness that has been present for six months to a year. Optimizing health in simple ways is what all our programs focus on here. With our massage therapy Sterling Rasmussen focuses on or-

thopedic massage which is more specific than a general massage you might find elsewhere. He has specific training in pathology and understands what a patient diagnosis requires and is an excellent addition at APT for continuing the physical therapy care that we offer our patients. I am more excited than ever about offering programs that have not been offered one on one to our community. We have stayed focused on dedication to patient care not the bottom line, we remain dedicated to getting people better and helping the community have a healthier quality of life,” said Wade. Advanced Physical Therapy is located on the Sterling Highway in Soldotna next to Trustworthy Hardware & Fishing. You can call Martha-Lucia Morgan for an appointment at 907-4200640 or get more information A wide array of new physical therapy equipment is available at APT. on line at www.aptak.com.
