Kenaitze Indian Tribe invites hosts three-day ceremony to celebrate Dena’ina Wellness Center

By RASHAH McCHESNEY Peninsula Clarion

For decades, the Kenaitze Indian tribe has dreamed of operating a state-of-the-art healthcare and wellness facility; one that would house primary medical care, dental and physical therapy alongside traditional healing, food preparation and talk-therapy rooms.

Now, the 52,000 squarefoot, two-story structure in Old Town Kenai will be open to all as tribal members invite the public to three days of grand opening celebrations beginning Thursday and running through Saturday as the tribe celebrates with music, art, culture, prayer,

Relatives of missing family stay positive

By DAN BALMER Peninsula Clarion

When Kenai resident Dennis Gifford heard his niece Rebecca Adams, two daughters and boyfriend were reported missing he went out into the woods near their North Kenai residence and yelled out their names. Despite the swarm of mosquitoes that pestered Dennis Gifford and his daughter Audre Gifford they were determined to find them.

It has been two weeks since the family last talked to Rebecca Adams. The last phone conversation with her sister Lanell Adams, happened around Memorial Day weekend. Lanell

Adams flew up from Washington State to aid the search, which has expanded every day with no trace of the family of four or the family dog.

Gifford said the more the family tries to piece clues together it is still a mystery.

“We have talked about it for hours trying to think what clues…anything leading up to them leaving,” he said. “We just can’t understand. It doesn’t make any sense.”

Along with 22-year-old Rebecca Adams are her two daughters Michelle Hundley, 5, and Jaracca Hundley, 3, and Adams’ boyfriend Brandon Jividen, 37.

What started with a few fam-

ily members has grown to a community wide search effort in the surrounding ground area from their apartment on California Avenue. The Kenai Police Department has organized the search with the assistance from the Federal Bureau of Investigation, search and rescue teams, the Kenai and Nikiski Fire Departments, Kenai Peninsula Borough volunteer teams and the National Guard stationed in Kenai.

Investigators have used ribbons on trees to mark searched areas and have taken advantage of long hours of daylight. Dennis Gifford said he has been hanging posters from Cooper See MISSING, page A-8

Fire crews in about an hour contained a one-acre wildfire that started in yard close to a home in the village of Nikolaevsk, 10 miles east of Anchor Point Wednesday.

Andy Alexandrou, a spokesperson with the Division of Forestry, said a quick response from 19 firefighters with the Anchor Point Volunteer Fire Department and Kachemak Bay Fire Department saved the structure. The Division of Forestry dispatched 3 engines and the helicopter to the fire on Tomski Avenue at 3 p.m. and contained it at 4:18 p.m. A total of 32 firefighters worked to put out the fire.

The cause of the fire is under investigation but Alexandrou said it was human caused.

On Tuesday the Division of Forestry lifted the burn suspension. Alexandrou said despite rain in the forecast Thursday, people need to obtain a permit before burning debris and to use caution and exercise safe practices.

Alexandrou said the Funny River Horse Trail wildfire is over 196,618 acres and remains at 60 percent containment. The Type 3 Incident Management Team is led by Incident Commander Tim Soliday and staSee FIRE, page A-8

CIFF files appeal in Cook Inlet fisheries lawsuit

By MOLLY DISCHNER Morris News Service-Alaska Alaska Journal of Commerce

ANCHORAGE — The Cook Inlet Fisherman’s Fund is appealing a court decision that upheld the Alaska Department of Fish and Game’s 2013 man-

agement of Cook Inlet salmon fisheries.

The fisherman’s fund, or CIFF, filed an appeal with the Alaska Supreme Court June 10, according to CIFF attorney Bruce Weyhrauch.

Next, the record in the case must be prepared, and a tran-

script of the proceedings provided to the court, and then CIFF can file its opening brief.

CIFF sued the Alaska Department of Fish and Game in July 2013, asserting that fisheries managers did not follow Cook Inlet salmon management plans appropriately that year C

and caused harm to commercial fishermen. After hearing oral argument May 29, Anchorage Superior Court Judge Andrew Guidi granted the state’s motion for summary judgment on June 2. He wrote in his final decision that there was no evidence that ADFG had “exceed-

ed its authority in executing the emergency plan promulgated by the Alaska Board of Fisheries. Specifically, the Fund has failed to articulate any concrete way in which the Department overstepped its management authority other than the claim See COURT, page A-8

Political split outgrows voting booth

By JENNIFER AGIESTA Associated Press

WASHINGTON — Political polarization in America has broken out of the voting booth.

A new survey from the Pew Research Center finds Americans are divided by ideology and partisanship not only when they cast ballots, but also in choosing where to live, where to get their news and with whom to associate.

And peaceful coexistence is increasingly difficult.

According to the poll, the share of Americans who hold across-the-board conservative or liberal views has doubled in the last decade, from 10 percent in 2004 to 21 percent today.

Only 39 percent of Americans have an even mix of liberal and conservative positions, down from 49 percent 10 years ago.

The numbers of ideological purists are larger among the politically engaged than the general public, suggesting the ideological stalemates that have become more common in Washington and statehouses around the country are likely to continue. A third of those who say they regularly vote in primaries have all-or-nothing

In this June 9, 2014, photo, the Capitol is seen from the Cannon House Office Building in Washington. A new survey from the Pew Research Center finds Americans are divided by ideology and partisanship not only when they cast ballots, but also in choosing where to live, where to get their news and with whom to associate.

ideological views, as do 41 percent who say they have donated money to a campaign.

And among partisans, ideological purity is now the standard. Majorities in both parties hold either uniformly liberal (on the Democratic side) or conservative (among the GOP) views.

The shift toward ideological purity has been more visible among Republicans due to the popularity of the tea party, seen most recently this week in House Majority Leader Eric Cantor’s loss to a tea partybased challenger in Virginia, but the survey found it’s happening in nearly equal measure among Democrats.

Those differences in visibility are partly due to the Democratic hold on the White House, according to Pew Research Center Vice President Michael Dimock.

“Levels of alarm about the direction of the nation, and about the ‘threat’ the other party poses to the country, are substantially higher on the right than on the left right now, and

Oil Prices Tuesday’s prices not available

at least in part this reflects the fact that Barack Obama is in the White House,” Dimock said.

But Democrats have expressed their share of distrust in the past, he noted in an email.

“Democrats felt pretty passionately about George W. Bush and the GOP in his second term,” he said.

The survey used a battery of 10 questions on issues such as regulation of business, use of the military, the environment and immigration to assess ideological leanings. Across nine of the 10 issues tested, the views of Democrats and Republicans have grown further apart since 1994.

These ideological shifts have been accompanied by increasing animosity across party lines, and those on opposite sides of the partisan and ideological divide are now more apt to separate themselves in their personal lives as well.

About 8 in 10 Democrats say they have an unfavorable opinion of the Republican Party, and for 82 percent of Republicans, the feeling is mutual.

This cross-party dislike has increased by double digits on both sides.

Among those with ideologically consistent views in each party, many go further than dis-

like and say they see the other side as a threat to the nation’s well-being. Republicans with consistently conservative views are more apt than Democrats with a strictly liberal view to see the opposite party as a threat, however, 66 percent to 50 percent.

Amid all this rancor, partisans and those with clear ideological leanings are more often choosing to associate only with those who hold views similar to their own. Two-thirds of consistent conservatives and half of consistent liberals say most of their close friends share their political views. Three in 10 on each side of the divide say it’s important to them to live in a place where most people share their political views.

And one-quarter of consistent liberals say they’d be unhappy if an immediate family member married a Republican, 30 percent of consistent conservatives say the same about a union with a Democrat.

The findings are based on a telephone survey of 10,013 randomly selected adults nationwide, conducted between Jan. 23 and March 16. Results based on the full sample have a margin of sampling error of plus or minus 1.1 percentage points.

Juneau child gets Awesome middle name JUNEAU (AP) — A Juneau woman wants to give her daughter an awesome middle name. Literally.

Lisa Flores is seeking court approval to legally change her daughter’s middle name to Awesome.

The Juneau Empire reports Awesome would replace the given middle name of Contea for 2 1/2-year-old Viviana Flores.

Mom allowed her 11-year-old son to initially pick out his sister’s name. Dominic wanted her first name to be Danger, something Mom vetoed. He came back with Awesome for a middle name, but Lisa picked “Contea” at the last minute.

She now wants the name changed to honor her son’s wishes and to thank Dominic for all he has done to help her.

He says the “cool” name will allow her to tell people all her life that she has an “Awesome” middle name.

Posts give parents glimpse of camp life

By BETH J. HARPAZ Associated Press

NEW YORK — Not long ago, parents who sent children to sleep-away camp might wait days or even weeks for a letter. And they’d be lucky if their kids’ scribbled notes home said anything beyond “Send candy!” or “I’m homesick.”

But now, many camps post photos and even videos online daily so parents can see what kids are doing — everything from cabin life to campfires to canoeing. Camp Dora Golding in Pennsylvania’s Poconos Mountains has even launched a cellphone app so parents can easily access pictures on Facebook and Instagram.

“The parents are looking for this so they can know their kids are having a good time,” said Elie Rosenfeld, spokesman for Dora Golding. “The camp still encourages kids to write home, but the days of waiting for the mailman to deliver a scribbled letter is long over.”

Dora Golding, a Jewish camp in its 89th year, has assigned a staff member full-time to take and post pictures and videos, and a film crew will be shooting and making a weekly video for parents as well.

Elizabeth Lampert of Alamo, California, says online images are “a lifeline” while her 13-year-old attends Camp Timber Ridge in High View, West Virginia. “It definitely allows me to let go,” she said. “When I see the joy and happiness, I’m relieved. Almost every day, they would post between 50 and 100 photos. Every day I scroll through, and of course she looks like she’s making friends, she’s with a million people and I feel better about sending her.

I’ll see her on the trapeze, softball, kickball — one time I saw her in a hot-air balloon!”

Seeing photos also allows her to “engage” and “share” with her daughter when they’re reunited “in a way that you absolutely couldn’t before.” It’s a big contrast from letters that Lampert sent home when she was at camp: “Hi mom, having fun. Send candy. Love, Elizabeth.”

AP Photo/Camp Hayward

This August 2012 photo shows girls at Camp Hayward in Sandwich, Mass., on Cape Cod. The photo was put up on the camp’s website for parents to see. Many sleep-away camps now post photos daily so parents can see what their children are doing.

Rabbi Jason Miller, who worked for Tamarack Camps in Michigan for five years, says sometimes the effort to keep parents in touch can backfire.

When parents can’t find their kids in the photo gallery, they get concerned. And if they do see the child, they might call and ask, “’Why is my kid sunburned? Why isn’t he with his best friend? Why wasn’t he wearing his glasses?’” An animated YouTube video called “Sleep Away Camp” shows a mother who can’t stop saying “Refresh” because she spends all day checking a camp website for pictures of her son.

Jenifer Silverman, a New Yorker whose two kids are going to camp this summer, says online images are “good and bad. ... There are hundreds to go through and can drive a person crazy. I have had days where I could not find my daughter and wondered why she wasn’t in them.” When Silverman does see her child, “I try to read into them too much and look to see if she looks happy or if it looks like something is going on.”

Interestingly, while camps are embracing 21st-century technology as a way of com-

municating with parents, most camps don’t let kids use electronics. Many camps let parents email kids — the messages are printed out and distributed — but kids can’t email back. So why go to all this trouble with photos?

It’s “a service provided to assuage parental anxiety,” said Peg Smith, CEO of the American Camp Association.

Most camps make photos public on Facebook pages or other social media; parents are asked to sign a release allowing their children to be photographed. If they don’t give permission, camps will keep them out of the pictures. But most photos show group activities, so privacy concerns from parents are rare.

Camp Burgess & Hayward, a YMCA facility on Cape Cod in Sandwich, Massachusetts, has been periodically posting images for parents to see for a few years, but last year they began doing it daily. Meghan Hill, director of development, estimates about half the parents take a look every day, and if they ask why their kids haven’t shown up in pictures, she reminds them “we’re trying to

capture what’s happening day to day and not specifically any children.”

But overall, she says, parents are pleased with the images. “I get more calls saying, ‘Oh, I saw a picture on Facebook and it looks like everyone’s having the best time.’”

What Others Say

Bringing soldier home was the right call The emerging picture of Sgt. Bowe

On emissions, math is math

For people who use the word “science” as a bludgeon and trumpet their strict commitment to fact and reason, the Obama administration and its supporters are strangely incapable of rational analysis of new climate-change regulations.

President Barack Obama’s Environmental Protection Agency released draft rules last week to create a vast new regulatory apparatus with no input from Congress — in other words, to govern in its accustomed highhanded, undemocratic manner. The goal is to reduce carbon emissions from existing power plants, in particular coalfired plants, to 30 percent below 2005 levels by 2030.

The rhetoric around the rules has involved self-congratulation about how they are the inexorable result of taking climate science and the reality of dangerous global warming seriously. “Science is science,” President Obama said in an open-and-shut tautology about global warming during an interview with New York Times columnist Tom Friedman. By the same token, math is math, and the new regulations make no sense.

While the regulations are stringent enough to impose real economic costs — especially in states that produce coal or heavily use coal power, or whose economies have grown relatively robustly since 2005 — they have almost no upside in fighting global warming. That’s because the U.S. is only part of the global carbonemissions picture, and a diminishing one at that.

We account for roughly a sixth of global

Bergdahl, who was exchanged for five prisoners held at the U.S. prison in Guantánamo, indicates he’s no hero, no all-American G.I. Joe, and might even be a deserter.

But what no one disputes is that he was an American soldier held by the enemy, and that alone justifies the U.S. effort to bring him home.

That is what the armed forces do. It’s part of unwritten but fundamental code of solidarity in the uniformed services. No one is left behind, and no one should seek, or offer, apologies for bringing soldiers home.

The circumstances of this particular case make the prisoner exchange contentious. The initial sense of relief and joy over his return quickly vanished when it was disclosed that PFC Bergdahl — he was promoted to sergeant during his five-year absence, as per military protocol — apparently walked away from his post in Afghanistan voluntarily.

That is a serious violation of the Uniform Code of Military Justice, if it turns out to be true.

Before rushing to judgment, however, the murky details of the Bergdahl incident must be investigated.

Already, several early claims, such as the allegation that he went in search of the Taliban forces that turned into his captors, have been debunked or questioned.

In failing to inform Congress about their release beforehand, the Obama administration ignored the law, an action the president’s advisers have sought to justify by claiming that the Taliban had threatened to kill Sgt. Bergdahl if it became public.

This, too, should be part of any post-exchange investigation, providing it doesn’t turn into a political circus.

Republicans in Congress have been so eager to turn any perceived weakness or misstep by the administration into a scandal that it’s hard to take them seriously when they once again cry wolf.

Whatever an investigation turns up, it does not alter the basic facts of Bergdahl’s detention, nor the fact that bringing a captured soldier back to his family was the correct decision.

Letters to the Editor Could President Obama have handled it better, perhaps without the big Rose Garden announcement? Yes. Reader finds inspiration Did he make the right call? Absolutely.

Classic Doonesbury, 1974

By GARRY TRUDEAU

many events were taking place throughout our great state. One was the Alaska Freedom Fair held in Wasilla at the Menard Center. This event was presented by the Alaska Republican Assembly. The event guest speakers included Sharron Angle, NFRA President; Willies Lee, NFRA Pacific NW Vice President; and Richard Mack, sheriff and author. All speakers drew a standing ovation as each speaker completed and departed the stage. It was the Keynote Speaker Pastor Rafael Cruz, (Father of U.S. Senator Ted Cruz) that delivered the events most powerful and compelling speech.

In addition to the music, food and information booths guests had the opportunity to meet with several of the candidates currently running for office at both state and federal levels. A straw poll was taken, and the surprising results had evolved. The results can be seen at http://www.alaskara. com/newsroom_index.html With the election just months away, have the tides finally changed for Don Young as reflected with the latest straw poll with 82 percent of the votes for John Cox. Currently the media has focused all its attention on Miller, Treadwell, Sullivan and Begich for the U.S. Senate seat with little or no attention to the U.S. House seat which is a just as crucial in deed. I spoke with Mr. Cox, the winner of the straw poll.

He was extremely pleased to see that his message is finally getting out. “It’s is not about how much money you raise for a campaign, it’s about the economic growth, strength, and security of our country. The position as your Representative was meant C

emissions, and our emissions have fallen the past few years more than those of any other major country. In fact, we’ve already achieved about half of the administration’s 30 percent goal, in part through Rich Lowry the boom in natural gas, which produces half the carbon emissions of coal.

The regulations aim to cut carbon emissions by 700 million tons by 2030. That sounds like a formidable number only if it is abstracted from the context of the rest of the world. As Robert Bryce of the Manhattan Institute notes, carbon emissions increased worldwide by about 700 million tons in 2011 alone. China increased its emissions by 3 billion tons from 2006 to 2012.

In D-Day terms, the regulations are like trying to roll back the Nazis by sending two landing craft to Normandy and doing some TV interviews. Even accepting the assumptions of the so-called global-warming consensus, the regulations will have an imperceptible effect on global temperature by 2100.

The regulatory fight against global warming runs up against this reality: Anything we do on our own short of returning to a subsistence economy is largely meaningless, while we can’t force other countries to kneecap their economies based on a fashionable cause with no immediate bear-

to be a civic duty not a lifelong career. Our government has created taxes, rules, and regulation that are becoming so intrusive into our everyday lives you may no longer enjoy those freedoms without some kind of permit issued by the government.”

It is now time to send a true conservative like John to Washington! As a small business owner he understands what it takes to make pay roll, keep the door open, and support the local economy. He understands the needs and issues that faces the fishing industry here in the state and is not afraid to speak out. The problems and needs for subsistence fishing and hunting for the Native Villages. The impact that the EPA has placed on the State as well as BLM, and the Department of Forestry. He deals with the excessive taxation imposed on him by local, state and federal regulations and see no end in sight unless we make the needed changes to Washington. New ideas are what we need not the status quo of politics, corruption and lack of transparency.

“The only way we are going to change Washington is by changing the people there!” John quoted.

As a result of the straw poll and my conversation maybe we should all listen to what Mr. Cox has to say and send him to be our next U.S. Representative.

Power boat moratorium not in proposal book In Les Palmer’s “An Outdoor View,” May 23, “The state of the Kenai,” the author asserts the Board of Fish discussed a proposal to place a 15-year moratorium on the use of power boats on the Kenai River.

No where in the proposal book is there any such proposal and I am pretty sure the board never had this on their agenda nor did they discuss it. If I am mistaken, mea

ing on the well-being of their often desperately impoverished citizens.

In an attempt to square this circle, supporters of the new EPA rules say they are an exercise of American leadership that will encourage other countries to crimp their economies, especially the world’s biggest emitter, China.

How has the power of example worked so far? We are a liberal democracy. We allow a robustly free press. We don’t imprison dissenters. We don’t steal the industrial secrets of other countries and give them to companies owned by government insiders.

In all these things, we provide a model for Beijing, and have done so for a long time.

Yet the Chinese Politburo stubbornly pursues what it believes is in its best interest.

Why will China be shamed by our pointlessly self-flagellating new policy on power plants into adopting economically harmful regulations of its own based on speculative models showing a far-off threat of higher temperatures?

The best policy for the U.S. is not command-and-control regulation, as economics writer Jim Manzi points out, but maintaining an environment favorable to technological innovation. No one would have predicted the fracking revolution of the past few years that has both displaced coal and benefited the broader economy.

But the self-declared adherents of “science” prefer the satisfaction of pointlessly self-defeating gestures.

Rich Lowry can be reached via e-mail: comments.lowry@nationalreview.com.

culpa. I agree with the author on many of his points in the article. If he wants a 15year moratorium on power boats, then he should draft a proposal, submit it to the BOF, put on his flak jacket like everyone else who write proposals and jump into the trenches.

Applause River festival educational, fun Bravo! Kenai River Watershed Forum for your remarkable presentation at this year’s 24th Annual Kenai River Festival.

Instruction, inspiration and education were provided to visitors of all ages by environmentally passionate instructors who used numerous hands-on approaches to teach about soil, gardening, recycling, safety, restoration and especially watershed.

From entertaining music, pony rides and watching a new-born llama interact with his mother, to handling earthworms and blasting paper rockets into the sky, children enjoyed an abundance of exciting activities. Visitors received seeds from Matti’s Farm to plant in their own gardens as well as pine tree plugs from Rural Alaska Fire Prevention. Smokey Bear even made an appearance. Of course, no visit to the festival is complete without a stop at Kid’s Zone face painting booth which seemed to be the most sought after activity.

Three days of fun and learning along the banks of the Kenai River; certainly the benefits of this year’s festival will profit all creatures, great and small, who choose to make this unique peninsula their home.

New store right at home in Kenai In the middle of the cavernous entrance room of the new Home Gallery furniture store, Dee Cassel stood with her fingertips on a massive dining room table crafted from reclaimed wood.

“It would take six people to lift,” she said. “Once it’s put down it’s set.”

The table was built from heavy brown barn wood, complete with polished, old nail holes. It will last its next owner for generations and any wear and tear will blend right in, she said.

Her husband, Lee Cassel, owner of Home Gallery, which also does flooring, previously ran the 46-year-old Decor Industries Inc., which he closed down three years ago. He sat at his desk Wednesday near the east-facing wall, immediately accessible to anyone wandering through the store.

Walking the perimeter of the 20,000-square-foot business, Dee Cassel paused beside couches, tables and bureaus ranging from modern to Amish styles, to discuss their origins.

Each furnishing is handpicked by the Cassels and motivated by customer opinions, Dee Cassel said. No matter what piece people walk out of the store with, it will be one-of-a-kind on the Kenai Peninsula, she said.

The Cassels opened their new store in downtown Kenai this May. They knew they were filling a need for the community, Dee Cassel said. Home Gallery is the only dedicated home furnishing store in Kenai.

Dee Cassel points out the different options customers have with the custom made Amish Furniture, which is made entirely without electricity, Wednesday at Home Gallery in Kenai.

After taking a brief hiatus from the furniture business, it only made sense for the couple to go right back into selling pieces for the home, Dee Cassel said.

“Lee has quite a reputation here,” she said.

Service is their priority. As soon as a customer walks in, someone assists them, Dee Cassel said.

Lee Cassel said the home furnishing business offers the opportunity to develop relationships with his customers.

Since opening, locals have come Home

Gallery recalling previous items Lee Cassel sold them, Dee Cassel said. In turn, Lee can often recall the day he sold it to them.

“He has an impeccable memory,” Dee Cassel said. “Oh, sorry, I am making him blush,” she said laughing.

The Cassels will hold a grand opening celebration beginning 3 p.m. at on Friday.

SBA: Communicate, counsel, loan faster

C

A-5

Chambers set schedules

By KELLY SULLIVAN Peninsula Clarion

NEW YORK — Loans are the primary reason small businesses seek help from the Small Business Administration, but the new head of the agency says that more capital may not be what owners always need.

Maria Contreras-Sweet has been a small business owner herself, most recently as cofounder of Promerica Bank, a Los Angeles-based lender focused on small companies. That experience not only helped her win the SBA post, it gives her insight into what could aid small companies the most.

“I think the counseling is almost more important than the lending. The lending is vital; we need access to capital for sure.

But sometimes as I sat at the bank, business owners would ask me for a loan, and I’d say, you’re just not managing your cash well. Let’s talk about your cash flow, let’s talk about the business plan. Can I help you enough so you don’t need that extra line of credit?” she said in an interview this week with The Associated Press.

“And so many times, we’d give them a line of credit, and then it wasn’t deployed accurately or effectively or efficiently. I think our counseling programs can be key to our success.”

Two months into her tenure, Contreras-Sweet is still getting a handle on what’s working at the SBA and what needs to be changed. One area of focus is the way the agency communicates with small businesses.

She’s recently launched a Twitter account to better connect with the public and says she’s also changing the way she’s taking in information.

And even though she thinks more counseling could be the key to helping owners be more successful, faster loan processing is also a priority. On Tuesday, she announced the SBA is giving banks what’s called a predictive business credit scoring model, a tool to help them forecast whether a borrower is likely to repay a loan. It’s designed to speed loan approvals.

Contreras-Sweet wants to know, are these programs working? She talked about her concerns, and her agenda, with the AP. Here are excerpts from the interview, edited for brevity and clarity: Q. What have you found so far at the SBA that needs to be changed to help small businesses?

A. More Americans should be made aware about the opportunities SBA helps to create.

And, how impressive it is that, at every key intersection of a business person’s cycle, the SBA has a response to their needs. I’m not

certain that has been made abundantly clear to entrepreneurs. So I think first and foremost that’s something we want to focus on, how we communicate about the products, the services, the programs, that already exist.

Q. How do you do that?

A. We need to learn how to use all the media that’s available to us — the traditional, social media and informal ways of communicating. For example, instead of watching the evening news shows, I find younger people are watching shows like Jon Stewart’s “The Daily Show.” We need to understand where people are, how they’re getting information, and make sure we’re adapting to the new ways people are receiving

information.

I’ve launched a Twitter account. I need to start opening up the way I communicate and the way I get information and the way I distribute information.

Q. What else is on your agenda for small business?

A. We’re conducting an external analysis about gaps in our programs that serve different segments of the population.

For example, lending to African Americans. We’ve made a lot of progress, but we need to do more. Another example is our senior business owner population. We’ve seen economies where birth rates have fallen and as a result, their labor force is shrinking and they have challenges in maintaining their

productivity per person. What can we do to anticipate that in the U.S.? At the SBA, we have a terrific Encore program for older entrepreneurs. My question is, is that sufficient?

Q. The SBA’s Office of Advocacy has issued a report about the government’s inability to reach its goal of giving contracts to small businesses. What can you do to improve that situation?

A. We are making sure through our counseling centers that we’re communicating the opportunities that are available.

Our website, BusinessUSA is important. Business owners can visit it and learn about what’s going on in the Agriculture Department, the Defense Department or the Department of Transportation. We’ve got to make sure those channels of communication are useful.

It’s also important to see if there are more industries we can target for contracts for women-owned businesses.

Q. How does being a Hispanic woman affect your approach to helping small business owners?

A. It helps me ask, are our programs culturally competent?

There are certain cultural nuances in the way we approach things. So do we have the cultural competency in our lending institutions? For example, in our institution, I’d hear from everyone about how important their privacy was. In some communities, people would say to me, I’m not very comfortable talking about money. We need to be respectful of cultural nuances to make sure we’re talking to people in a way that makes them comfortable.

Nation & World

Around the World Big changes ahead for GOP in House after tea party upends majority leader WASHINGTON — Repudiated at the polls, House Majority Leader Eric Cantor announced Wednesday that he will resign his leadership post at the end of next month, clearing the way for a potentially disruptive Republican shake-up just before midterm elections with control of Congress at stake.

Cantor informed fellow Republicans of his intentions at an emotional closed-door meeting, then made his public announcement at a news conference where he appeared upbeat, all less than 24 hours after losing a primary election to David Brat, a little-known and underfunded rival backed by tea party groups.

Lawmakers in both parties said Cantor’s defeat and the prospect of a change within the Republican high command probably signal the demise of immigration legislation along the lines President Barack Obama is seeking and will also have a negative impact on the balance of his second-term agenda.

Even so, White House spokesman Josh Earnest disputed the notion that Cantor’s surprise loss crushed the prospects of House Republican leaders putting an immigration bill on the floor this year. He noted that Sen. Lindsey Graham, R-S.C., had been deeply involved in passing the Senate immigration bill and still defeated his primary opponents Tuesday night.

The outcome of Tuesday’s primary represented the biggest victory by far this year for tea party forces, and it holds the potential to unsettle other incumbents facing GOP challengers this summer. The next major showdown is a June 24 runoff between six-term Sen. Thad Cochran of Mississippi and his rival, state Sen. Chris McDaniel.

Long waits persist for vets seeking mental health care at VA medical centers EL PASO, Texas — Nick D’Amico, a deeply troubled Army veteran, had been seeing a counselor every other week.

But he found it next to impossible to get a follow-up appointment at the El Paso VA with a psychiatrist who could adjust his medication, according to his mother.

The best the system could offer, she says, was a half-year wait for a teleconference with a Veterans Affairs psychiatrist in Albuquerque, New Mexico.

That appointment was still two months away when D’Amico, 45, left his wallet, phone, watch and Desert Storm hat at home and committed suicide by driving off a cliff outside El Paso last September.

“It’s shameful. It’s disgusting. It’s got to stop,” says his mother, Bonnie D’Amico.

For years, veterans have complained about maddening waits for mental health services at VA medical centers, and for years federal officials have responded by hiring more clinicians and expanding programs. This week, a devastating internal investigation that looked at wait times for all sorts of care across the VA system showed that the agency hasn’t solved the problem.

Doubts about Iraqi premier; US prepares new assistance to combat insurgency WASHINGTON — The United States is preparing to send new aid to Iraq to help slow a violent insurgent march that is threatening to take over the nation’s north, officials said Wednesday. But the Obama administration offered only tepid support for Iraq’s beleaguered prime minister, and U.S. lawmakers openly questioned whether he should remain in power.

With no obvious replacement for Prime Minister Nouri alMaliki — and no apparent intent on his part to step down — Washington is largely resigned to continue working with his Shiite-led government that has targeted Sunni political opponents and, in turn, has inflamed sectarian tensions across Iraq.

“He’s obviously not been a good prime minister,” said Sen. Bob Corker of Tennessee, top Republican on the Senate Foreign Relations Committee. “He has not done a good job of reaching out to the Sunni population, which has caused them to be more receptive to al-Qaida efforts.”

The panel’s chairman, Sen. Bob Menendez, D-N.J., noted only lukewarm support for al-Maliki, both in Iraq and among U.S. officials. “I don’t know whether or not he will actually be the prime minister again,” Menendez said. “I guess by many accounts, he may very well ultimately put (together) the coalition necessary to do that.”

Insurgents with the Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant, which is inspired by al-Qaida, overran the northern Iraqi town of Tikrit on Wednesday, a day after seizing Mosul, the nation’s second-largest city. The insurgent network has controlled the western city of Fallujah since the start of this year, and is fighting to take over Beiji, a key northern oil refinery town.

Militants push deep into Iraq

By SAMEER N. YACOUB andADAM SCHRECK Associated Press

BAGHDAD — Al-Qaidainspired militants pushed deeper into Iraq’s Sunni heartland Wednesday, swiftly conquering Saddam Hussein’s hometown of Tikrit as soldiers and security forces abandoned their posts and yielded ground once controlled by U.S. forces.

The advance into former insurgent strongholds that had largely been calm before the Americans withdrew less than three years ago is spreading fear that Prime Minister Nouri al-Maliki, struggling to hold onto power after indecisive elections, will be unable to stop the Islamic militants as they press closer to Baghdad.

Fighters from the Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant militant group took control Tuesday of much of Iraq’s second-largest city, Mosul, sending an estimated half a million people fleeing from their homes. As in Tikrit, the Sunni militants were able to move in after police and military forces melted away after relatively brief clashes.

The group, which has seized wide swaths of territory, aims to create an Islamic emirate spanning both sides of the IraqSyria border.

The capture of Mosul — along with the fall of Tikrit and the militants’ earlier seizure of the western city of Fallujah — have undone hard-fought gains against insurgents in the years following the 2003 invasion by U.S.-led forces.

The White House said the security situation has deteriorated

Teenagers ride on an armored vehicle belonging to the Iraqi army in Tikrit, 80 miles north of Baghdad, Iraq, Wednesday. AlQaida-inspired militants seized effective control Wednesday of Saddam Hussein’s hometown of Tikrit, expanding their offensive closer to the Iraqi capital as soldiers and security forces abandoned their posts following clashes with the insurgents.

over the past 24 hours and that the United States was “deeply concerned” about ISIL’s continued aggression.

There were no reliable estimates of casualties or the number of insurgents involved, though several hundred gunmen were in Tikrit and more were fighting on the outskirts, said Mizhar Fleih, the deputy head of the municipal council of nearby Samarra. An even larger number of militants likely would have been needed to secure Mosul, a much bigger city.

The militants gained entry to the Turkish consulate in Mosul and held captive 48 people, including diplomats, police, consulate employees and three children, according to an official in the office of Turkish Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan. Turkish officials believe the hostages are safe, he said, speaking on condition of

anonymity because he was not authorized to comment to reporters on the sensitive issue.

Turkish officials did not make any public comment on the seizure, but the state-run Anadolu Agency reported that Erdogan convened an emergency Cabinet meeting. U.N. SecretaryGeneral Ban Ki-moon strongly condemned the abductions and the seizure of Iraqi territory by the militants, urging “the international community to unite in showing solidarity with Iraq as it confronts this serious security challenge.”

“Terrorism must not be allowed to succeed in undoing the path towards democracy in Iraq,” Ban said.

While the insurgents have advanced southward, Baghdad did not appear to be in imminent danger from a similar assault, although Sunni insurgents have stepped up car bombings and suicide attacks in the capital in

recent months.

So far, ISIL fighters have stuck to the Sunni heartland and former Sunni insurgent strongholds where people are already alienated by the Shiite-led government over allegations of discrimination and mistreatment.

The militants also would likely meet far stronger resistance, not only from government forces but by Shiite militias if they tried to advance on the capital.

Mosul, the capital of Ninevah province, and the neighboring Sunni-dominated province of Anbar share a long and porous border with Syria, where the Islamic State is also active.

Mosul’s fall was a heavy defeat for al-Maliki. His Shiitedominated political bloc came first in April 30 parliamentary elections — the first since the U.S. military withdrawal in 2011 — but failed to gain a majority, forcing him to try to build a governing coalition.

Al-Maliki said a “conspiracy” led to the massive security failure that allowed militants to capture Mosul, and warned that members of the security forces who fled rather than stand up to the militants should be punished.

He stopped short of assigning direct blame, however, choosing to focus instead on plans to fight back — without giving specifics.

“We are working to solve the situation,” al-Maliki said. “We are regrouping the armed forces that are in charge of clearing Ninevah from those terrorists.”

Al-Maliki has pressed parliament to declare a state of emergency over the Mosul attack — a decision expected later this week.

Groups allege abuse of child immigrants

By ELLIOT SPAGAT Associated Press

SAN DIEGO — Unaccompanied children arrested by U.S. border authorities are packed in frigid cells and sleep on hard floors without enough food or medical care, advocacy groups said in a complaint Wednesday that alleges widespread abuses amid a surge of illegal crossings by young immigrants from strife-torn Central American countries.

The Esperanza Immigrant Rights Project and four other groups produced 116 allegations of abuse of children who were in Customs and Border Protection custody. They said more than 80 percent received inadequate food and water, about half were denied medical care, and about one of every four was physically abused.

A 13-year-old boy said he was threatened by an official with a metal rod and was later sexually molested while in custody, a 14-year-old girl reported her asthma inhaler was confiscated, and a 14-year-old boy was unable to sleep for five days because the lights were always on. A 16-year-old boy said an

Citing risk, Hagel says not enough time to tell lawmakers about Bergdahl trade WASHINGTON — Defense Secretary Chuck Hagel delivered an aggressive defense Wednesday of the secret prisoner exchange of five Taliban detainees for a U.S. soldier, telling Congress that the risks were too great and the situation too uncertain for the administration to tell lawmakers about the plan.

In a nearly five-hour Capitol Hill hearing that was at times contentious, House members accused Hagel and the White House of not trusting them enough to follow the law and fill them in on the decision to exchange Sgt. Bowe Bergdahl for five detainees at the U.S. facility at Guantanamo Bay, Cuba.

An equally combative Hagel said the deal provided “the best possibility that we had to get him out, and we were concerned we might lose it.” He said officials discussed the law requiring that Congress get a 30-day notice of detainee exchanges but said the Justice Department told them that in such extreme circumstances President Barack Obama had the constitutional authority to forego the notice.

The Justice Department declined to comment on advice it gave the White House.

The first Obama administration official to testify about the prisoner swap, Hagel acknowledged up front that the matter could have been handled better. But he offered no apology for keeping Congress in the dark, insisting that Qatari officials negotiating the swap between the U.S. and the Taliban made it clear that “time was not on our side.”

official told him, “You are in my country now, and we are going to bury you in a hole.”

The allegations described in the administrative complaint to the Department of Homeland Security were based on interviews with the children from around March to May. The complaint doesn’t provide dates of the alleged abuse, but authors said much of it occurred over the last year. The locations are not listed because, the authors said, the children were frequently shuttled around and didn’t know where they were.

The children were identified only by initials in a 25-page version of the complaint that was made public but the authors said they provided names and other biographical information to the Homeland Security’s inspector general and office civil rights and civil liberties. They urged the department to investigate the complaints, punish any wrongdoing and make its findings public.

Customs and Border Protection said in a statement that it does not tolerate misconduct and was providing food, medical care and other basic services under constant supervision, while

working to transfer children to the Department of Health and Human Services within 72 hours, as required by law. It said “extraordinary measures” were being taken in response to an overwhelming tide of children crossing in South Texas.

The Department of Homeland Security, which oversees Customs and Border Protection, did not immediately respond to a request for comment.

“This should be the final straw. These children’s stories are horrific,” said James Lyall of the American Civil Liberties Union’s Border Litigation Project, which joined Americans for Immigrant Justice, the National Immigrant Justice Center and the Florence Immigrant Rights & Refugee Project. The groups work closely with the children after they are released.

Customs and Border Protection arrested 47,017 unaccompanied children on the border from October through May, up 92 percent from the same peri-

od a year earlier. A draft Border Patrol memorandum estimates that number could reach 90,000 in the fiscal year ending Sept.

30, up from a previous government estimate of 60,000.

Last week, President Barack Obama declared a crisis and appointed the Federal Emergency Management Agency to lead the government’s response.

Hundreds of children have been flown to a makeshift shelter at a Border Patrol station in Nogales, Arizona, while the Defense Department prepares military bases in California, Oklahoma and Texas, for temporary housing.

Homeland Security Secretary Jeh Johnson told the Senate Judiciary Committee Wednesday that violence in Central America is main driver but acknowledged that parents likely know their children will be released to the Department of Health and Human Services, “which very often means reuniting them with their parents.”

Israeli airstrike kills 1 in northern Gaza Strip

By IAN DEITCH Associated Press

JERUSALEM — An Israeli aircraft struck a target in the northern Gaza Strip Wednesday, killing one person and wounding three others, in the first deadly violence between the sides since a new Palestinian government took office last week.

The late-night airstrike came hours after Palestinian militants fired a rocket into southern Israel, the first such attack since President Mahmoud Abbas formed the new government and took charge, at least formally, of Gaza. Israel has warned it would hold the Western-backed Abbas responsible for any attacks out of the territory, even though the rival Hamas militant group maintains de facto control.

Witnesses said the airstrike targeted a man on a motorcycle and also struck a nearby car.

Hospital officials said the dead man was in his 20s, but gave no further details on any of the casualties.

The Israeli military said it had targeted “global jihad-affiliated terrorists,” a term it uses to describe Islamic militants who follow the ideology of al-Qaida.

In a statement, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said Israeli had carried out a “precise operation and will continue to act forcefully against those who try to hurt the security of Israel’s citizens.”

He said he wanted to “remind” the international community that Abbas had pledged the new government would uphold previous agreements with Israel. “This means that he is responsible for dismantling Hamas and other terror groups” in Gaza, he said.

Earlier, Abbas’ office condemned the rocket fire and urged Gaza militants to abide

‘We expect the Palestinian Authority will do everything in its power to prevent attacks from Gaza into Israel, but we acknowledge the reality that Hamas currently controls Gaza.’

— Jen Psaki, U.S. State Department spokeswoman by previous cease-fire deals.

Israel dismissed the condemnation as “empty rhetoric.”

The threat of violence is one of the many challenges Abbas is dealing with as he tries to unite two territories after a sevenyear rift. Hamas seized control of Gaza from Abbas’ forces in June 2007.

Under last week’s deal, Abbas’ new 17-member Cabinet is to administer both Gaza and parts of the West Bank. Hamas has no formal role in the tech-

nocrat government, but it backs the unity government and remains the de facto power in Gaza with thousands of armed fighters.

The U.S. and European Union have so far been willing to give Abbas, a strong proponent of nonviolence, a chance.

The U.S. welcomed Abbas’ condemnation and suggested it wasn’t ready to hold the new unity government responsible for the attack.

“We expect the Palestin-

ian Authority will do everything in its power to prevent attacks from Gaza into Israel, but we acknowledge the reality that Hamas currently controls Gaza,” U.S. State Department spokeswoman Jen Psaki said.

Militants in Gaza, including members of Hamas, have fired thousands of rockets at Israel over the years, though Hamas mostly observed an informal truce in recent years. The West considers Hamas a terror group because of scores of deadly attacks on Israel, though Abbas has said the new Cabinet will follow his pragmatic program.

The unity government was meant to end a crippling split between Abbas and Hamas, but the road to reconciliation has been bumpy, with many issues unresolved.

Salary payments for more than 40,000 government employees hired by Hamas during the past seven years are a

key point of contention. Hamas wants them to be paid by the unity government, though donor countries would likely balk at the idea of seeing aid go for salaries for members of the Hamas security forces.

Hamas kept Gaza’s banks closed for the past week in an attempt to pressure Abbas to find a solution, but allowed the banks to reopen Wednesday amid rising public anger against the group. Long lines formed at cash machines as people rushed to withdraw their salaries.

Tens of thousands of Abbas loyalists who worked for his Palestinian Authority in Gaza before the Hamas takeover have continued to receive salaries since 2007 on condition they not work for the Hamas administration.

Hamas officials said no solution to the problem has been found and suggested the opening of the banks is temporary.

Oil boom produces jobs bonanza for archaeologists

TIOGA, N.D. — Drilling crews are eager to plunge their equipment into the ground.

Road builders are ready to start highway projects, and construction workers need to dig.

But across the hyperactive oil fields of North Dakota, these and other groups have to wait for another team of specialists known for slow, meticulous study: archaeologists.

They are the experts who must survey the land before a single spade of dirt can be turned, a requirement that has produced a rare jobs bonanza in a field that forces many highly educated professionals to hop from project to project around the world and still struggle to make a living.

Without the oil boom, a lot of young archaeologists might “never get the experience,” said Tim Dodson, who endured a long job search before finding work overseas and later coming to North Dakota.

The positions also come with a constant tension: The archaeologists are trained to find evidence of the past, but the

companies that pay them would prefer not to turn up anything that gets in the way of profits.

Archaeological surveys are intended to protect any historical treasures that might lie buried atop the region’s oil and natural gas deposits. Although not required on all oil projects, they are a mandate for most federal drilling permits.

The work involves inspecting a site for any artifacts or evidence of past human habitation and cataloging the effort. If significant discoveries emerge, most oil companies will change plans to avoid the hassle of drilling in a sensitive area.

Long before the oil boom, previous archaeological digs uncovered a nearly complete duck-billed dinosaur fossil with skin, bones and tendons preserved in sandstone. Other excavations have focused on old trading posts, military forts and battlefields, according to the State Historical Society of North Dakota.

With more archaeologists working in the oil fields, the number of historic sites in North Dakota jumped from 846 in 2009 to nearly 2,260 in 2013,

the state’s Historic Preservation Office said. Those sites include forgotten settler cemeteries with graves marked in foreign languages, abandoned homesteader farms and stone circles put in place by American Indians thousands of years ago.

“A lot of that wouldn’t be happening without the boom,” said Richard Rothaus, an archaeologist who heads Trefoil Cultural and Environmental Heritage, a Minnesota-based firm that offers “cultural resource management,” an umbrella term for this kind of archaeological work.

While the oil boom is the engine behind the speedy growth, the archaeological work is not focused entirely on drilling sites.

Much of it targets building projects designed to support the oil business, such as road, bridge and airport improvements.

Over the last decade, the number of firms authorized to do surveys in North Dakota rose from around 30 to 50, said Paul Picha, chief archaeologist at the historical society.

No one in the field keeps track of exact archaeology employment numbers, but the

oil boom has almost certainly expanded the ranks of North Dakota archaeologists from as few as a few dozen to several hundred, if not more.

For instance, the Bismarck office of Metcalf Archaeological Consultants has roughly doubled in size every year for the past three years, according to Damita Engel, regional director of operations at the firm, which is based in Golden, Colorado.

Three years ago, they had 10 to 12 employees. Now they have 53.

“And we’re still hiring,” Engel said.

The added jobs have helped scores of archaeologists such as Dodson, 30, who received a master’s degree in maritime archaeology in 2009 from England’s Southampton University.

After graduating, he moved back in with his parents in St. Louis and worked as a bartender and bouncer while searching for a position in his specialty.

“I couldn’t find a job to save my life,” he said.

After seven months, he finally landed one in the United Arab Emirates, which led to jobs in Virginia and Colorado.

Somalia measles treatment delayed

By ABDI GULED Associated Press

MOGADISHU, Somalia — Hawa Nor carried her visibly weakened son into the hospital’s isolation ward. Like many sick children here, the 7-yearold boy is likely a victim of an old Somali wives’ tale: A child with measles should be kept inside, and away from the doctor, for a week.

Abdullahi Hassan labored to breathe, and his eyesight is deteriorating.

“Even though we kept him at home for a week, he’s getting weaker,” Nor tells the pediatrician.

Somalia is suffering from an outbreak of measles that the World Health Organization and the U.N. children’s agency labels “extremely alarming.” UNICEF reported 1,350 suspected cases of measles in March and April, a figure four times higher than the same period last year. Another 1,000 cases were reported in May. Many children in the country are malnourished and few have access to medical care, making an outbreak potentially dangerous for thousands of others. One additional danger that prevents early medical intervention is the belief by many parents that they should keep measles-infected children at home for a week for what they call an “incubation” period.

“Such delays cause clinical problems, including respiratory disorders, and in some cases they bring children malnourished who cannot survive without ventilation,” Dr. Omar Abdi, a pediatrician at Banadir Hospital in Mogadishu, said in an interview on Tuesday.

Though mostly eradicated in the United States, measles remains a common disease in many parts of Asia, the Pacific and Africa because of a lack of vaccinations. Even the U.S., where the disease has technically been eliminated, has seen a record number of measles cases this year. The Centers for

In Somalia, the belief that treatment should be delayed ‘We have a very sometimes causes rifts inhigh number of side families. Halimo Hussein brought her 4-year-old girl into malnourished the hospital after defying her Somali children.’ husband’s order to keep her child home for at least a week.

— Sikander Khan, “I’m here against his will,” UNICEF representative she said. “He even threatened me with divorce for defying him.”

Disease Control and Prevention says the country has nearly 400 reported cases, more than twice as many as in all of 2013 and eight times as many as in all of 2012.

The measles is spreading in a handful of U.S. communities where pockets of unvaccinated people are found, the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention says.

In Somalia, the disease is spreading because of a lack of medical facilities. A measles vaccination costs only about $1, but millions of children remain exposed to the disease.

Hunger and bad health add to the problem.

“We have a very high number of malnourished Somali children,” said Sikander Khan, the UNICEF Somalia representative. “Malnourished children here are more susceptible to disease and are more likely to die or suffer lifelong disability such as blindness, deafness or brain damage as a result of contracting measles.”

The World Health Organization says about 330 people, mostly children, die from measles every day globally. The Philippines is suffering from a severe outbreak this year. WHO says the country has about 40,000 cases.

The signs and symptoms of measles include inflamed eyes, a cough, sore throat, fever and a red, blotchy skin rash. There is no specific treatment for measles except to relieve symptoms with medications. But malnourished children are more likely to have severe cases and develop life-threating complications like pneumonia.

Two decades of conflict has devastated Somalia’s health sector. An estimated one in five children dies before his or her fifth birthday, and measles is one of the main causes. Vaccination in areas controlled by al-Shabab militants is difficult. Health officials estimated only 15 percent of children there are protected against the disease.

That’s a common path for archaeologists. Most jobs are short lived and are limited by either budget or scope. The profession is nomadic for many starting out, requiring frequent moves over long distances. The pay is low, the benefits few.

Unlike his previous positions, the oil-patch jobs were with larger companies for higher salaries.

Last year, he headed to Bismarck to join KLJ, an engineering and planning firm that also does cultural resource management.

The work has little of the romance evoked by Hollywood’s Indiana Jones or pith-helmeted archaeologists unearthing mystical secrets of the distant past.

Instead, it involves lot of walking around and supervising construction.

When a site needs to be surveyed, teams of archaeologists walk across the area scanning the ground for historic objects, which are defined as anything more than 50 years old. When team members come across something, they mark its location on GPS and photograph it.

One such survey was conducted on a battlefield where U.S. soldiers clashed with

American Indians in 1864. A utility company wanted to run new power lines through the Killdeer Mountain site, but Indian tribes feared the project could disturb the remains of native people who were killed there. A spokesman for the Basin Electric Power Cooperative said archaeologists found “nothing of consequence” along a 150-foot right of way.

When something of value does emerge, companies often choose to go around the site or move their project slightly.

At the frenetic pace that drives many drilling projects, there is little patience to wait for — or willingness to pay for — a full excavation.

At the heart of the work is a natural friction between the experts doing archaeological surveys and the companies that hire them, Rothaus said.

“While I’m out there looking for things, I know if I find them, it’s a problem for the person who signs my paycheck.

And there’s a tension there.”

“I think we all try to be professional,” he added. “But I think it would be naive to ignore that.”

The building combines all of the services the tribe had spread into three locations throughout Kenai into one space on Upland Drive in Old Town Kenai.

The location is important, said Jaylene Peterson-Nyren, executive director of the Kenaitze Indian Tribe.

“It’s significant in where it sits because all of Old Town is actually one of the original village sites for the Kahtnuht’ana Dena’ina,” Peterson-Nyren said. “It’s a very significant space, sense of place.”

Many of the 80 people working in the medical clinic, Nakenu Family Center, and dental clinic are housed in one corner of the first floor of the building — there is one enclosed personal office in the whole building — as the tribe works to debut a Dene’ model of care that integrates nearly all of the health

care services into the building into healing services.

“We’re focused on the integration of health. We are putting all of our staff into one room so that they’re able to converse with each other. Behavioral health learns primary care language and vice versa,” Nyren said. “They already have customers in common, but instead of a phone call or an email referral — they’re five feet away.”

The beginning While dreaming and planning for a space have been happening for decades, the project began in earnest after the tribe won a competitive grant through the Indian Health Service joint venture award in 2011. Using state money, funds from Cook Inlet Regional Inc., the MJ Murdock Charitable Trust, Rasmuson Foundation and the Alaska Mental Health Trust, the tribe hired Architects Alaska and ultimately Neeser Construction to complete the process. The group broke ground in 2012.

While the facility, which was projected to cost more than $36 million to build, had many state and community supporters, the joint-venture grant from Indian Health Service will pay many of its costs by funding operational, maintenance and staffing needs for 20 years.

The building A superficial tour of the building yields an amount of detail that hints at the complexity of the planning process.

“I think it was over a year of just talking and listening to different user groups,” PetersonNyren said. “It is the best use of the space and the resource we could come up with.”

The facility houses 15 exam rooms, four treatment and four consultation rooms, 13 talking rooms, 10 dental operation rooms, six classrooms and one demonstration kitchen.

The exterior design incorporates three massive wooden structures designed to imitate the traditional Dena’ina fish drying rack. Century-old wood from the torn down Wards Cove Cannery building is incorporated throughout the structure, about 43,000 board feet of it, both in its raw form and in highly-polished tongue-ingroove floors.

A walk into the building is designed to move the viewer from the beach — with dunes and beach grass landscaping and a thick ribbon of scattered rock and blessed agates running along the inside edge of the entrance to the building.

The colors and textures gives way to an ocean shore line in the “Gathering Space” and check-in area where curved couches mimic waves and a light harvesting system allows the room to be lit primarily by

outside light shining through two-story glass walls.

On one end, a beamed structure — the Oculus — dominates the room, on the other a large, curved staircase leads up to the second floor.

“We wanted a space where the entire staff could be in one area for staff meetings,” Peterson-Nyren said.

The room draws many of the tribe’s employees who said they liked the view.

“I’m very partial to the big room,” said Kyle Ferguson, Information Technology site manager. “I really like the design and oftentimes it’s out of my way to walk down those stairs but I’ll do it anyway. I like the feel of it.”

A demonstration kitchen sits just behind the Oculus. The full-sized kitchen and classroom area allow for the demonstration of healthy cooking and food preparation.

“We can demonstrate both traditional prepared meals, like seal, or how to render salmon and properly care for salmon,” Peterson-Nyren said.

An audio and video system is set up to record and broadcast classes “Food Networkstyle,” she said.

Tile-work in the restrooms and along certain hallways is inspired by Dena’ina bead patterns and as exterior portions of the building fade away the interior of the building begins to resemble the forest and moun-

tains of the traditional Dena’ina territory.

The colors deepen and the textures take on the characteristics of riverbeds and heavilyforested meadows on the second floor of the building where views of Cook Inlet can be seen from several vantage points.

“We wanted to give a sense of space, of being outside when you’re inside, a sense of freedom,” Peterson-Nyren said.

“Whenever you’re standing in the building, looking out, you can truly see out; all of the way out of the building, out to the mountains.”

Ferguson, whose office space is on the second floor of the wellness center along a windowed wall, said the light is one of his favorite parts of the day.

“That’s the first thing I do when I come in here every day is raise the blinds so that I can see the sun because it’s beautiful here,” he said.

The building has also achieved a LEED Silver certification, a system that ranks building energy and environmental design.

Among the highlights are the light harvesting system throughout the building which adjusts building light to compensate for the amount of light coming from outdoors, and a tank under the building that collects rainwater and uses it to flush toilets. Water runoff is collected and used to water the

native vegetation outside of the building and exterior lighting on the building was designed to minimize light pollution by primarily being low to the ground and lighting pathways.

Each room is labeled with its use in English, braille and a Dena’ina translation of its function.

The endoscopy room is the “one looks inside place”; the staff room is the “put your work pack down here”; triage is the “make up your mind place”; and the fan room is the “it’ll be windy place.”

The translated names are important for tribal members, Peterson-Nyren said.

“When you think about wellness and identity and self-esteem and knowledge of self and the whole concept of Naqantugheduł, or the tide is coming back into us, it has been going out for many, many years and that has been destructive,” she said. “But to have it coming back to us with the language and the culture tells people that we do have a lot to offer ourselves and to everyone. Our knowledge and understanding of taking care of the earth, taking care of ourselves, taking care of each other’s families.

It’s not just the language, it’s a concept and a unique view on the world.”

PGA Tour professional Chip Beck helps Hudson Jackson, 12, from Nikiski with his swing at a junior golf camp Wednesday at the Birch Ridge Golf Course in Soldotna. Hudson, who has golfed for five years, was one of 39 kids who signed up to learn from Beck.

Kids learn from PGA Tour pro 4-time winner Beck comes to Alaska to promote First Tee program

With nearly 40 local kids grouped around him, PGA Tour professional Chip Beck demonstrated the finer points of putting on a green with three shots. The first shot he took missed the cup by 2 inches to the left, the second missed by about 2 inches to the right.

The third one dropped in just perfectly.

It was just one of many eye-opening moments on a beautiful Wednesday morning at the Birch Ridge golf course in Soldotna that saw Beck give free lessons on the game of golf as a part of the locally funded First Tee program.

“We are trying to show people that the First Tee program needs local support,” Beck said. “Everybody thinks that it’s funded by a national organization, but it’s not. It’s the local people that make it happen.”

The First Tee program is an international youth developmental organization that helps to introduce younger people to the game of golf and its inherent values. Birch Ridge general manager Nolan Rose said having Beck make an appearance is the first step in getting the program running on a regular basis.

“He put on quite a show, he’s a pretty spectacular guy,” Rose said. “When the opportunity showed up, we jumped all over it.”

Rose said junior programs such as Hook-a-Kid-on-Golf

have already proven successful, but First Tee would push the local support and participation to a whole new level.

“I think it’s hugely important because you see someone like Chip who’s been all over the world and made a life out of playing the game,” Rose said. “What’s unique about golf is that it’s a sport that you can play ‘til you’re 80, and the younger you get involved in it, the better you’ll be. You’re teaching the kids a skill that’s gonna allow them to have fun and socialize and do all those things the rest of their lives.

“When they see someone like Chip Beck, I think it just cements the thought in their mind that I can do this.”

Beck is a four-time winner on the PGA Tour, recording victories at the 1988 Los Angeles Open, the 1988 USF&G Classic, the 1990 Buick Open and the 1992 Freeport-McMoRan Golf Classic. Beck also finished runner-up at the 1993 Masters tournament, and has tied for second at the U.S. Open twice.

A three-time All-American at the University of Georgia, Beck is originally from Fayetteville, North Carolina, but currently resides in Chicago.

Beck and his wife, Karen, and daughter, Annie, have already been up to Denali National Park, where he was remarking about his up-close experience of seeing a bald eagle nesting. The 57-yearold pro said he was preparing for a fishing excursion on the Kenai River, as well.

“I’ve gotten to see what the country is like here,” Beck said. “I’ve never seen a tundra, never understood the way the trees grow, and I find it fascinating, the beautiful landscape.

“I never realized there’s so much water in Alaska. So many lakes.”

Wednesday’s stop in Soldotna was the first of a few he will be making in Alaska. The trip includes stops in Palmer, Settlers Bay in Wasilla and the Anchorage Golf Course, as well as a par-3, hole-in-one tournament at Fox Hollow Golf Course in Anchorage on Friday.

One of the points the PGA veteran impressed was that missing a shot will ultimately serve as a tool to improve one’s game, and indirectly help the individual’s further goals in life.

“The important thing for them, is they’re only limited by what they think of themselves,” Beck said. “That’s the beauty of golf. I told them, I had friends that always told me how bad a putter they were, and sure enough, after so many years, he became a very poor putter and it affected his game.

“But I’ve seen kids go from this program all the way up to working on Wall Street.”

That is what Beck is hoping to accomplish. With an 80 percent retention rate of juniors completing the program, First Tee has shown to be very successful in keeping young people on the right track to

successful lives.

In addition to his autograph, Beck many times will also write the number 59 on fans’ memorabilia, which he hopes encourages players to never give up. The number 59 signifies the lowest round of golf that Beck ever played, coming in the third round of the 1991 Las Vegas Invitational. Beck is one of only six players to ever score that low in the history of the PGA Tour.

“What’s cool about it is, yeah, these kids can go for the 58,” Beck said. “One of the nice things through history for me, is that I got shirts that are older than these kids.

They don’t know who Chip Beck is.

“But when they watch television and when anyone shoots 59, they’ll bring my name up, so it’s kind of kept me current with these young kids.”

One of students in the crowd Wednesday was 13-year-old Danica Schmidt, a Soldotna Middle School student. Schmidt said she’s an avid golfer who plays the sport as her primary summer activity.

“Learning chipping from him was really good,” Schmidt said. “How he could turn the 3-iron into a pitching wedge was really neat.

“It’s just pretty cool to meet him.”

Schmidt said Beck “definitely” helped to grow her interest in the sport.

The Peninsula Oilers defeated the San Francisco Seals 3-0 on Wednesday at Coral Seymour Memorial Park in Kenai to take the seasonopening series 3-1.

The Oilers, who posted two shutouts against the Seals in the series, now take Thursday off before opening a four-game, nonleague series against the Lake Erie (Michigan) Monarchs, starting at 7 p.m. Friday.

Four Oilers pitchers combined to hold the Seals to just four hits Wednesday.

Jimmy Nesselt got the start and went five innings, yielding three hits and no walks while striking out five.

“I was working both sides of the plate with my fastball and I got some off-speed in there,” Nesselt said in a postgame radio interview on 1140 AM. “I just felt good today.”

Cody Richey followed Nesselt and actually picked up the victory with a scoreless and hitless inning. Tyler Gibson pitched two innings and gave up just a hit while punching out two, while Jeff Paschke notched the save with a perfect ninth.

The Oilers had a little bit of a frustrating day on offense, but it was enough for the win.

Peninsula had six hits, its lowest game total of the season

Rangers deny Kings a sweep IRA PODELL AP Sports Writer

NEW YORK — The champagne the Los Angeles Kings had ready for a coronation stayed in boxes. The New York Rangers suddenly have some life in the Stanley Cup finals.

Henrik Lundqvist made 40 saves and had the Madison Square Garden crowd chanting his name in the Rangers’ 2-1 victory in Game 4 that kept the Kings from a sweep on Wednesday night.

Benoit Pouliot and Martin St. Louis each scored for the Rangers. Los Angeles leads the series 3-1 and will get its second shot to claim the Cup for the second time in three years Friday night at home.

“We wanted to close it out tonight and we weren’t able to do it,” Kings forward Anze Kopitar said. “Now we have a desperate team coming into our building.”

Los Angeles hoped to become the first team since 1998 to complete a sweep in the finals. The Rangers will try to be the second team to erase a 3-0 hole in the finals and go on to win the Cup. The Kings had that kind of comeback in the first round against San Jose.

“It’s not impossible,” Lundqvist said.

Twice Los Angeles put

the puck on the goal line, but couldn’t get it all the way across. The last came with 1:11 left when Rangers forward Derek Stepan pushed the puck out of danger in the crease after it got behind Lundqvist.

“I was just holding my breath,” Rangers defenseman Dan Girardi said. “All those guys in the crease did a great job to keep it out.”

Pouliot scored 7:25 into the first period and St. Louis added a goal in the second. New York squandered multiple two-goal advantages in losing the first two games in overtime in Los Angeles.

Not this time.

Lundqvist and the Rangers continued their mastery of extending their seasons. New York is 11-2 in the past 13 games when facing elimination, and Lundqvist was in goal for all of them.

“When everything is on the line, you just have to challenge yourself the right way,” Lundqvist said. “You have to be focused. One mistake and the season is over. You’re definitely aware of that.”

The Rangers also have won an NHL-record eight consecutive home games when facing elimination, dating to 2008, behind Lundqvist.

“We got our first one,” St. Louis said, “and I’m sure that’s going to help our mood.”

Bird Homestead Golf Course breaks out new tee boxes

L

arry Hamilton and his crew have been hard at work putting in a few new tee boxes, and they look great. If you haven’t played the new ones, make sure you squeeze in a round of golf to play the back nine, for an exciting new challenge.

No more moose prints in the fairways, no more patchy grass on the greens, and perfectly cut tee boxes, what more could you ask for in a golf course? Oh yah, good food, riding carts and awesome staff. Funny River golf course has that too!

Ladies Night Last Wednesday night the ladies has a wicked good time. There were 13 ladies that showed up to escape men for a few hours, have some fun playing golf, and some even winning nice amounts of money. The winning team was Connie Orth, Sissy Bird

and Faith Link with a score of 42.

My oh my, look how far that ball can fly. Standing a mere 4 feet, 10 inches, Kelsey Slough crushed the ball on hole No. 1, winning her longest drive, and on hole No. 4 Jossie Moore dialed in her precision and hit an amazing putt, winning her longest putt.

We were so glad so many women showed up, and hope to see this many ladies every Wednesday night for some fun golf. We start every Wednesday night at 6:30 p.m.

Men’s Night Men’s Night on Tuesday had a great turnout with 21 men playing in seven three-man teams. The man on fire for the evening was Carl Forsyth.

He could not be stopped. Not only did he take pure birdie, he also won longest drive. Two teams finished with a score of 1-over-par. How did

nai Middle School student, said the biggest thing he learned was the grip on a club.

“Just how you put your thumb on the handle,” Jackson said. “It’s a lot smoother to hit it.”

As the lesson was ending, Beck handed out paper guides that serve to improve hand position and finger points on the club, and that feature a change in color when pressure is applied.

Speaking in a consistent Southern drawl, Beck demonstrated the proper techniques of the sport over the 2 1-2 hour session, such as his explanation that keeping all body parts in the right alignment will vastly improve one’s swing.

A key point Beck made about knocking in a putt was the “12” method of counting, where a player will count the one on the backswing, or windup, and will count the two on the strike of the ball. Beck reminded that it is important to use a rhythm when doing so.

“He’s over here hitting a 3-wood off his knees, and rolling his putts like it’s rolling out

a four spot on the board right there but he came up and hit me,” Sheridan said on the radio. “I’ll take the ribby.”

In the bottom of the eighth inning, the Oilers were able to come up with two insurance runs against Ghazaleh “Ozzie” Sailors, who last season became the first woman to pitch against the Oilers.

The Oilers loaded the bases with one out when Sandlin walked, Gabriel Munoz was hit by a pitch and Josh Rose walked.

Sheridan then came up, and Sailors tossed a passed ball to score Sandlin. Sheridan then singled to score Munoz.

Zach Hodgkiss took the loss for the Seals. Jacob Pavlovsky led San Francisco on offense with a double and a triple.

of bed,” Rose noted. “More than anything, you just kind of sit back and watch and enjoy the show.”

Beck said he hopes to use his influence as a method of teaching. Wednesday, he repeated that “everything is attitude,” and that small changes in the game can have big results.

“What’s nice is that they can learn from a young age how to grip the club,” Beck said. “The players are getting better now because we know the grip predetermines how you swing.

“It’s so important that we know that it all comes back to the grip. It’s like learning to play the piano, if you know how to hold your hands, the game’s a lot easier.”

Overall, Wednesday’s appearance served as a steppingstone in the active involvement of the community in a sport that has so much to teach about lifetime habits.

“The owners of this place have been so generous and kind to open their golf course to these juniors,” Beck said.

“We came up and we’re getting a couple of the locals involved to raise money for the First Tee. We want these young children to get a chance to get involved in golf because it helps their lives.”

ing the league for $1 billion.

The league has contended the comments were bad for business and damaged both the Clippers and the NBA. The four-day trial was granted exceptionally quickly and will begin July 7. The deadline for the sale is July 15, which also is the date the NBA’s owners hope to vote on whether they will approve the sale.

Court filings Wednesday indicated the NBA has set a hard deadline of Sept. 15. If the sale isn’t completed then, the league will undertake proceedings to seize and sell the team on its own.

Donald Sterling’s lawyer, Bobby Samini, left the courthouse without comment after a clerk announced the trial schedule. Neither Sterling was present.

“I just want to resolve this as quickly as possible,” NBA Commissioner Adam Silver told The Associated Press on

Sterling gets his day in court LOS ANGELES — A trial will be held next month to determine whether Donald Sterling, who opposes his estranged wife’s planned sale of the Los Angeles Clippers, was properly removed as an administrator for the family trust that owns the team.

A probate court judge in Los Angeles Wednesday denied Shelly Sterling’s urgent request to confirm her authority as sole administrator of The Sterling Family Trust so that she can unilaterally proceed with a $2 billion sale of the team to former Microsoft CEO Steve Ballmer. Instead, the judge agreed to an expedited hearing because of looming sales deadlines.

The development is the latest in a legal tug-of-war following the NBA’s decision to ban Donald Sterling for life after racist remarks to a girlfriend were recorded and publicized. Donald Sterling is fighting the decision and su-

Wednesday in Miami at an NBA Cares event.

The crux of the case will center on the question of whether the 80-year-old Donald Sterling is mentally competent to be a co-trustee of The Sterling Family Trust, which gives him the authority to determine the team’s future. According to the trust’s terms, he can be ruled “mentally incapacitated” after being evaluated by two doctors, said Pierce O’Donnell, Shelly Sterling’s attorney.

Shelly Sterling activated that clause in negotiating what would be a recordbreaking deal with Ballmer as sole trustee. But Donald Sterling challenged the removal in a letter sent Monday to his wife’s attorney said “any attempt to remove me as a Trustee of the Sterling Trust is invalid and illegal. Furthermore, any assertion that I am ‘incapacitated’... is false and without merit.”

Early run sockeye run strong as anglers swarm the Russian River

By RASHAH McCHESNEY Peninsula Clarion

For almost two weeks a steady stream of sockeye have been visible in the clear, low water of the Russian River — the dark grey shadows moving by the hundreds in a long line headed southeast toward the Russian River falls and spawning grounds at the end of the Upper Russian Lake. Anglers finally got to wade in after them Wednesday when the Russuan River, Upper Kenai River and most of the Kenai Lake Drainage opened to fishing — prompting several hundred people to head down from Anchorage and the Mat-Su Valley or up from the Kenai Peninsula for a chance at the largest portion of the early run of Kenai River sockeye.

The Russian River ferry, dormant until early Wednesday morning, made several trips across the river from the parking lot along the Sterling Highway to a cut bank on the south side of the river. Steady wind kept the water choppy and moving quickly as the ferry pulled from one shore to the other in between drift boats full of sight-seers moving downstream.

Ferry employees said they’d sold 65 tickets by 9 a.m. and a steady stream of chest-wader-clad anglers kept the parking lot full and the ferry operator busy.

“It turned out to be a pretty good today,” said Jacob Laumbattus, ferry manager with Alaska Recreational Management.

While other season openers that have fallen on weekends have prompted several hundred more anglers to descend on the area, Laumbattus said it was a robust first day and word would spread fast that the run was in, early and ripe for fishing.

“It’s going to get a lot busier this weekend,” he said.

At least 50 people scattered along the rocky shoreline of the cut bank flaying the water — many limiting out on sockeye salmon in short order, though rainbow trout and Dolly Varden are also fair game.

“I’ve seen some monster rainbows landed here,” Laumbattus said.

The bag limit for Kenai and Russian River red salmon is three fish, with six

head back to work at Prudhoe Bay. The two said they had fished the Russian River before and liked it because it wasn’t as crowded as some of the streams near Anchorage and in the Mat-Su Valley.

In the Russian River Campground, the chatter of anglers was audible long before the hundreds of people crowded into the water were visible.

Ken Garris and his son Hunter Garris, 18, had a lot of luck in a hole near the Grayling day-use parking area.

The two traveled from Anchorage for their first opportunity to hook Russian River red salmon and Hunter Garris said he’d limited out in about 30 minutes, though he took the opportunity to continue to land fish alongside his dad — pulling them up onto the rocks along the shore and clipping the hook out of Photo by Rashah McChesney/Peninsula Clarion them, before nudging them back into Joe Like, of Hawaii, fixes a friend’s line during the Russian River and Upper the water with his foot.

Fishing for king salmon on the Kenai River is closed until June 30. Anglers may only catch one hatchery kind salmon on the Kenai river and can only keep one per day. Hatchery salmon are missing their adipose fin. A healed scar will be in its place. The annual limit for king salmon in Cook Inlet, larger than 20-inches, is five.

There is no annual limit for smaller king salmon.

No treble hooks, baiting or scents are allowed. Only single hooks can be used to fish with.

■ The Anchor river has been closed to sport fishing, and marine waters south of the latitude line of the Ninilchik River down to the latitude line at Bluff Point are closed to king salmon fishing within one mile of shore.

■ After harvesting a king salmon 20 inches or greater from either the Deep Creek, or the Ninilchik river, anglers must stop fishing in those streams for the rest of the day.

■ Anglers may only use one unbaited, single-hook with an artificial lure on the Anchor River, Deep Creek and Ninilchik River.

■ The Ninilchik River king salmon bag and possession limit is one wild or hatchery-reared fish during regular weekend openings in May and June but beginning July 1, it is reduced to one hatchery-reared king salmon.

Fire watch

By Vicki Fruichantie, Kenai

We were going camping But ended up instead, Working the “information station” As the wildfires glowed red.

We waited and watched and worried As the days went by, Fire crews came and went in a hurry As the spotter plane flew high.

Updates and evacuations On Facebook filled our days And nights of work and worry; There was no time to play.

Some of our friends left their homes Others chose to stayWe watched as the fires raged And the skies turned dark and gray.

Our days were sad at times, Although we laughed a lot; It helps to have good friends around To remember what you’ve got.

Its great how people bond At difficult times like these, Our community pulls together To put those hurt, at ease.

This image released by Warner Bros. Pictures shows Tom Cruise in a scene from “Edge of Tomorrow.”

Don’t wait for ‘Edge of Tomorrow’ “Edge of Tomorrow” Warner Bros.

1 hour, 53 minutes As much as I enjoy Tom Cruise’s movies, I’ve been a little dubious of his latest, “Edge of Tomorrow,” for several reasons.

One, the initial trailer, though later versions have improved, wasn’t much to write home about. The bulky, robotic suit/weapon worn by the soldiers in their terrifying battle with aliens just looked too cumbersome to be interesting and, aside from a creepy cool pop song, just didn’t grab me.

Also, for months before, I’d been reading about this film with it’s original title, the one derived from the original Japanese manga, “All You Need is Kill.” I have no idea what that title means, but it sounds mistranslated. Changing the film to “Edge

R eeling It In C hris J enness of Tomorrow” was a good idea, though that title is pretty generic.

The upshot of all that is that I wasn’t all that jazzed about the movie coming out this week. It is Tom Cruise, though ...

Surprisingly, to me and to a number of critics around the country, “Edge of Tomorrow” is a lot of fun. It’s action-packed, well acted and written, and unexpectedly smart.

It’s been compared more than once to Bill

You’ve done some scary things Bookworm Sez You’ve done some scary things in your life.

It’s a wonder you survived your childhood, in fact: the heights you jumped from, rides you took, things you ate, dares you accepted. It’s a wonder you’re even alive.

Yep, you’ve done some scary things – but nothing was as terrifying as the moment your firstborn was placed in your arms. As you’ll see in “When I First Held You,” edited by Brian Gresko, that’s a heart-pounder that may last forever.

Try to describe what it’s like to be a father, and you may have a bit of trouble.

It’s about love, certainly. Ferocious protectiveness; that’s a given. Fear of failure, maybe, or as Darin Strauss says in his foreword, fatherhood is “something like contentment, only more profound… a warm

fullness around the heart, like a water heater squirting everywhere inside the rib cage.”

When a man becomes a father, he learns, says Dennis Lehane, that “we don’t control anything. Nada. Niente. Nothing.” Peace of mind is an illusion, and the “Anything Could Happen at Any Time Chunk of Fate” could hit anywhere.

Fatherhood makes a man understand his own father, even if he wasn’t there at conception but “chose to be” a father, as did Gresko’s Pop. Becoming a father also proves that “the business of making new people is actually pretty important,” says Lev Grossman. It’s a chance to watch science in action, says Anthony Doerr, since your children are “tiny emissaries… repositories of ancient DNA…” from your genes and that of their mother.

Murray’s seminal 1993 classic “Groundhog’s Day,” and the comparison is apropos, not only for its funky sci-fi conceit, but for its high level of quality, as well.

Cruise plays Bill Cage, a major in the U.S. Army, in charge of marketing and public relations. By his own admission, he’s not a soldier, just an ad man who wound up in the military after an alien invasion unites the planet with a world war for survival. Selling enlistment is Cage’s speciality, but when his superior officer, played by Brenden Gleeson, orders him to film the front lines, an attack on the beaches at Normandy, ironically, our hero suffers a major crisis of confidence. This doesn’t go over well, and before long Cage finds himself embedded in the leading attack See REEL, page B-2

Nintendo reveals ‘Skylanders’-like toy line

Continued from page B-1

BY DERRIK J. LANG AP Entertainment Writer

Entertainment

LOS ANGELES — Nintendo is taking a cue from “Skylanders” and “Disney Infinity.”

The Japanese gaming giant unveiled a toy figure line called “amiibo” that will work in tandem with its video games like the toys-meet-games franchises from Activision Blizzard Inc. and the Walt Disney Co. The announcement was made in an online video released Tuesday during the Electronic Entertainment Expo, the industry’s annual trade show.

“We see ‘amiibo’ as a brandnew platform for us,” said Reggie Fils-Aime, president of Nintendo of America, on the E3 show floor Tuesday morning.

“We use the term ‘platform’ specifically. Today, it’s figures.

In the future, it could be other things that tie into the near-field communication technology built right into the GamePad.” Similar to Activision’s “Skylanders” and “Disney Infinity,” the characters’ virtual histories will be stored on the plastic figures and transmitted through the Wii U GamePad, the controller for its slow-selling Wii U console that features a touchscreen and NFC capabilities.

“There’s a special chip that’s embedded in every figure,” said Fils-Aime. “Any Wii U system will recognize the figure by touching them on the Wii U GamePad, and when that happens, they spring to life in compatible games in cool new ways.”

The first lineup of “amiibo” figures, due out later this year, features 10 characters from well-known Nintendo franchises: the Villager from “Animal Crossing”; the “Wii Fit” trainer; sword-wielding Link from “The Legend of Zelda”; intergalactic solider Samus Aran from “Metroid”; Pikachu from “Pokemon”; iconic

gorilla Donkey Kong; pink shape-shifter Kirby; and Mario, Princess Peach and Yoshi from “Super Mario Bros.”

The company said the figures would be compatible with the upcoming Wii U fighting game “Super Smash Bros.” and would eventually work with other games, including the recently released racing title “Mario Kart 8” and the forthcoming platformers “Yoshi’s Woolly World” and “Captain Toad: Treasure Tracker.”

Bill Trinen, senior product marketing manager of Nintendo of America, said the company was working on a peripheral reader scheduled for release next year that would connect the figures to its handheld Nintendo 3DS system.

He said other “amiibo” figures and games are “in the works.”

The price of the figures wasn’t announced.

NEW YORK — Not so fast: J. Lo is performing at the World Cup after all.

Jennifer Lopez said in an interview with The Associated Press that she is flying to Brazil on Tuesday night to perform during the tournament’s opening ceremony on Thursday.

“I’m coming. I leave tonight. We always were going,” she said. “I think people get anxious, especially with me and my schedule when I’m like, ‘Ah, OK, I can leave this day, that day, I don’t know if we can make it.’”

“People get nervous and I think it was a little bit premature to announce anything,” she said.

“But we are definitely going.”

FIFA officials announced earlier this week that the singer wouldn’t perform the official tune “We Are One (Ole Ola)”

alongside Pitbull and Claudia Leitte. But Lopez said they will perform before Brazil takes on Croatia at Thursday’s opening game in Sao Paulo.

Lopez said the World Cup song was orchestrated by Pitbull, who invited her to join on the track.

“I can’t take credit for this.

This was one of Pitbull’s callins,” said Lopez, who has collaborated with the rapper on the hits “On the Floor” and “Dance Again.”

“He had this record and he’s like, ‘I think this record could be great for the World Cup,” she recalled. “He’s like, ‘Will you do it with me?’ And I go, ‘Yeah, of course.’”

Lopez added: “I’m so lucky that he gave me the opportunity.”

But being a father has a flipside, too.

It sometimes means living hundreds of miles away from your child because you’re not with his mother anymore. You might also have to live with your heart in your throat because the “earth brims with the bones of children” who didn’t live to adulthood. It means giving up sleep, time, silence, and vomit-free clothes. Fatherhood makes you understand that you owe a lot of people a lot of apologies. You’ll have to learn to play, to embrace failure, endure sickness, and let your kids go.

And that may be the hardest thing of all.

“Bayonetta 2” and the “Omega Ruby” and “Alpha Sapphire” installments of the “Pokemon” series.

Other games teased for release in 2015 included the “Super Mario” level designing game “Mario Maker,” online paint shoot-’em-up “Splatoon,” sci-fi role-playing game “Xenoblade Chronicles X,” cutesy platformer “Kirby and the Rainbow Curse” and a “Legend of Zelda” game for the Wii U set in an open world.

Nintendo Co. could use a boost from new toys and games.

Sales of Nintendo’s Wii U console have lagged behind the newer PlayStation 4 and Xbox One systems released by Sony Corp. and Microsoft Corp., respectively, last November.

Nintendo has sold 6 million consoles since the Wii U was released in 2012, while Microsoft has sold 5 million and Sony has sold 7 million units in the past six months.

The honesty – that’s what I liked.

Editor Brian Gresko offers readers a wide variety of experiences – we see the ups and downs of fatherhood through the eyes of 22 authors and writers, and not a one of them flinches from reality. Through these essays, we see warts and fears, loss, irritation, and yes, we see astoundingly fierce, blinding love.

No doubt that Dads – new and experienced – will enjoy this book, but it’s also great for Dads-to-be. If you’re a man who’s loved a child, “When I First Held You” is a book you won’t be able to let go.

range of potential new gameplay experiences,” Trinen said.

“It’s one of the most exciting things that Nintendo is announcing at E3.”

For the second year in a row, Nintendo opted against hosting a flashy E3 presentation in Los Angeles and instead streamed videos showcasing the “amiibo” figures and other upcoming games.

“For us, what we want to do is find great ways to tell our stories,” said Fils-Aime. “So much of our content is created by our Japanese developers. We wanted to make sure we could provide consumers a full backstory. A digital event is much more effective than trying to do it in a live press conference.”

Nintendo hyped several upcoming games due out later this year for the Wii U and 3DS, including “The Legend of Zelda” battle game “Hyrule Warriors,” hack-and-slash sequel

into the arms of the forward battle group. And then it happens again. And again, and again, until Cage finally begins to take charge of his own destiny.

Using the curse as an opportunity to learn, he becomes a better soldier, eventually coming across Rita Vrataski, played

by Emily Blunt, known to all as the hero of Verdun, a seemingly super-soldier who Cage discovers was once like him.

No time for reminiscing, however — the Mimics are in the endgame and the entire planet lies in the balance. All will be lost if Cage and Rita can’t figure out how to use this bizarre gift in time. Time, on the other hand, is all Bill Cage

NEW YORK (AP) — Look for Grumpy Cat on Lifetime to herald in the worst Christmas ever.

According to The Hollywood Reporter, the Internet sensation with the wobbly walk, big blue eyes and frowny face will play a chronically overlooked petstore cat. The twist, according to the cable network, is the 12-year-old girl who can communicate with her.

The live-action movie is aptly named “Grumpy Cat’s Worst Christmas Ever,” and the

human to voice the four-legged star has not yet been cast. It will shoot this summer.

The script will be written by Tim Hill (SpongeBob SquarePants) and Jeff Morris, the Reporter said.

With her own agent, Grumpy’s YouTube videos have racked up millions of hits.

She has T-shirts, calendars, gift wrap and a best-selling book available in 14 languages.

In real life, Grumpy is named Tardar Sauce and lives in Arizona.

has left.

There are many reasons why “Edge of Tomorrow” succeeds, but its two leads are two of the biggest. Tom Cruise gives 110 percent to every project he works on, and this one is no different. Emily Blunt, one of my new favorite actresses, is making a name for herself in smart sci-fi, previously starring in “Looper” and the excellent “Adjustment Bureau.” She’s very good here as well, and her chemistry with her co-star is just about perfect.

Joining them are a supporting cast of mostly unknown actors, but included in that group are both Bill Paxton, who is really good in a small role, and the aforementioned Gleeson. In

addition, the screenplay is both very tight and very entertaining.

The jokes, when they come, hit their mark, and the tension is very real. “Edge” is written

by Christopher McQuarrie, the guy who penned “The Usual Suspects,” among other things, and is directed by Doug Liman, who gave us “Go,” “The Bourne Identity,” and “Mr. and Mrs. Smith,” among others.

This film is a worthy addition to all their credits.

“Edge of Tomorrow” is rated PG-13 for combat violence, briefly gruesome, and mild language.

Peninsula Clarion, Thursday, June 12, 2014

Neighbor reaching out for relief should have his hands slapped Crossword child financially or emotionally, her mom who suffers from many medical conditions, and her neighbor whose daughter was murdered some months ago. Sharon’s life seems to be a magnet for drama.

My colleagues and I have lent our ears and our shoulders to cry on. I have also tried to advise her (like you do) to no avail. I have now reached my limit. Is there a Abigail Van Buren tactful way to deal with her?

We work in proximity at least half the time, so total avoidance is not possible.

— INUNDATED IN HAWAII DEAR INUNDATED: If Sharon asks you for advice, tell her you don’t have any more to offer. And if she starts dumping on you, handle it by saying kindly, but firmly, that you need to work and don’t have time to listen. If you say it often enough, Sharon will find someone else to listen. Trust me.

DEAR ABBY: I have a colleague who’s a drama queen. Perhaps I’m a little bit guilty, too, but “Sharon” talks excessively about her personal life. There’s the DEAR ABBY: Do you have any advice for fathers boyfriend who doesn’t support her and their 2-year-old who don’t listen to you? Or fathers who are too protec-

tive and don’t know how to let go?

— STARGIRL IN MICHIGAN DEAR STARGIRL: My advice to fathers would be to form as close a relationship with their daughters as they can while the girls are little. Teenage girls whose fathers are involved in their lives tend to engage in sexual activity at later ages.

However, whether a father is “too protective” may be a question of perspective — the father’s or the daughter’s. I have heard many adults say in retrospect how much they appreciate that their parents were strict. But I have rarely heard the contrary.

Dear Abby is written by Abigail Van Buren, also known as Jeanne Phillips, and was founded by her mother, Pauline Phillips. Contact Dear Abby at www.

DearAbby.com or P.O. Box 69440, Los Angeles, CA 90069.

Good advice for everyone — teens to seniors — is in “The Anger in All of Us and How to Deal With It.” To order, send your name and mailing address, plus check or money order for $7 (U.S. funds) to: Dear Abby, Anger Booklet, P.O. Box 447, Mount Morris, IL 61054-0447. (Shipping and handling are included in the price.)

another. Today’s Full Moon might bring chaos into a relationship.

Know when enough is enough.

You could be causing yourself a problem if you continue with a heated discussion. Tonight: Accept an offer.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) HHHH Pace yourself, and do what you must. Your emotions might make you feel as if you can’t reach a resolution. If you tap into your logical side, others will think that you make sense; however, they still might head in a different direction. Tonight: Get some muchneeded rest.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) HHHHYour imagination takes a different stance on what is being discussed. You could have difficulty following through on a key task because your mind is elsewhere.

A sticky situation involving your personal life might not be resolved easily. Tonight: Play the night away.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) HHHHYou will need to anchor in and work through a problem involving a misunderstanding. Be aware that others are likely to overreact. A child or new friend could express his or her caring. Do not push someone too hard. Tonight: Discuss a potential trip with a loved one.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) HHHH Do not put off a call for too long. Make it happen today; otherwise, the results won’t be nearly as good. You’ll have a lot of energy; use it to make a situation work better for you. You could be surprised by what a partner does. Listen to news more openly. Tonight: Visit with a pal.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) HHH Be aware of the costs of continuing as you have been. Ask questions. Someone is likely to respond in kind and give you an explanation. You’ll see that you can mend a fence, but you might wonder whether you really want to. Tonight: Treat a loved one to dinner.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) HHHH You will feel as if you are in your element and able to achieve much more of what you want. Your energy is high as is your charisma.

You can’t be stopped once you get going. You naturally dominate anything you decide to do. Tonight: Extend an invitation to a friend.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) HHH Know what is happening behind the scenes. You might choose to share more than you normally do. Expect the unexpected, and you will not be thrown off-kilter. If you are single, someone you meet today could become a lot more to you. Tonight: Go with the flow.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) HHHH Zero in on priorities during a meeting. You’ll find that you are juggling two different situations.

Realize that one or both situations could become explosive. Know what you want from each one. You might be put in a position of making a fast decision. Tonight: Ever playful.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) HHHH You could be more forthright than you have been in a while, especially as you might be dealing with someone’s overly dominant attitude. Touch base with someone you care a lot about, and he or she will appreciate your thoughtfulness. Tonight: Out late.

The language of linen Dear Heloise: I read your column in the Omaha (Neb.) World-Herald.

I recently bought some new cotton bath towels, which I thought were 100 percent cotton. When I used them, I found out that they are not absorbent. I looked at the label and found that they are 100 percent cotton and 100 percent algodon.

Can you tell me what algodon is, and why they use it? Also, can I do something to the towels to make them absorb moisture?

— Janice K. in Nebraska Janice, be assured that the towels you bought are 100 percent cotton. “Algodon” is simply the Spanish word for “cotton,” and you purchased towels with a bilingual label.

Now, how to make them more absorbent? Make certain that when you wash the towels, you do not use fabric softener (liquid or sheets). Fabric softener makes towels absorb less water.

— Heloise Bring back the color Dear Heloise: Someone asked about bringing back the natural color of a leather recliner. We had the exact same problem with a chocolate-brown recliner and couldn’t find any answers.

The furniture company had no ideas except to replace the chair, or the footrest — both very expensive alternatives. Finally, I had a flash. Our local shoemaker deals in leather bags and shoes every day. Bet he has an idea! For $10.50, he sold us a bottle of polish, which we rubbed onto the bad place on the chair.

Problem solved!

SUDOKU

By Tom Wilson

By Dave Green

Sudoku is a number-placing puzzle based on a 9x9 grid with several given numbers. The object is to place the numbers 1 to 9 in the empty squares so that each row, each column and each 3x3 box contains the same number only once. The difficulty level of the Conceptis Sudoku increases from Monday to Friday.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY for Thursday, June 12, 2014: This year you are able to make a difference in what goes on in your immediate environment. Unexpected news from a friend could surprise you, but it also allows you to look at a new possibility. If you are single, you will meet people with ease, especially after July. Your popularity will soar at that point. If you are attached, you might be surprised at the controversy that surrounds a child. Try to prevent a problem before it happens. Know that your significant other might be more grounded than you realize. SAGITTARIUS always adds lightness to the moment.

The Stars Show the Kind of Day You’ll Have: 5-Dynamic; 4-Positive; 3-Average; 2-So-so; 1-Difficult ARIES (March 21-April 19) HHHHYou might feel that a partner is overly assertive at present. Understand that you are more than capable of handling this person’s energy right now. You need to be more aware of how much you are spending. Fatigue could mark an interaction. Tonight: Too much to juggle.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) HHHHH You will have the best intentions, but somehow you’ll get stuck in a difficult or awkward interaction.

A discussion about money could get out of hand, and you might want to drown your sorrows in some wild spending. Say “no.” Tonight: Try to keep a lid on a volatile situation.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) HHHH You will be out of control, swinging from one wild situation to

DEAR ABBY: My girlfriend and I live next to a married couple our age we have befriended. Unfortunately, the husband has been making unwanted advances toward my girlfriend. Being friendly with them both, we have kept it to ourselves so as not to hurt the wife. She’s ill and has been in and out of the hospital.

The husband is approaching my girlfriend saying he needs “stress relief” because his wife is ill. We now feel something needs to be said to the wife, but we still have to live next door to them. We’re at a loss. What’s the best way to handle this?

— HAD ENOUGH IN FLORIDA DEAR HAD ENOUGH: The next time this man hits on your girlfriend, she should tell him bluntly that it’s not her job to “relieve his stress.” That is his responsibility. She should also tell him if it happens again she’ll tell you AND his wife what he’s up to.

As to being friendly with this couple in the future, FORGET IT. That bridge was burned the first time he stepped out of line.
