In the news Safety measures increase ahead of Seward race C

ANCHORAGE — Authorities are warning runners not to underestimate Mount Marathon in Seward as activity gears up for the traditional July Fourth run up and down the mountain. Crews are working hard to ensure the safety of racers during the 3.1 mile race, KTUU reported. Those measures include spreading the word about potential dangers. Veterans will take novice runners up the trail June 21 to help familiarize them with the mountain. Seward Fire Department chief Eddie Athey said anyone thinking of climbing the mountain, whether it’s for a race or just a hike, should pack appropriately, and let family and friends know of their plans and a timetable. “A lot of folks want to consider (Marathon) a day hike, and that’s just simply not a good way to do that,” Athey said. “If you’re going to make a journey up that mountain, you should go with the mentality that I could spend more time up there than I thought.” The increased measures come a few months after Peggy LeMaitre filed a lawsuit against the race organizers, the Seward Chamber of Commerce. Her husband, Michael LeMaitre, disappeared in the 2012 race. She claims organizers were negligent and showed outrageous conduct. — The Associated Press

States raise concerns about Alaska ‘mother of proposed Coast Guard rules midwifery’ retires By PHUONG LE Associated Press

SEATTLE — As the U.S. Coast Guard moves to assert its federal authority over maritime issues, officials in Washington, Alaska and other states are concerned by what it may mean for states’ rights in preventing and preparing for oil spills. State officials in California, Washington and New York have asked the Coast Guard to withdraw rules it proposed in December. They say the rules would limit the states’ role in protecting citizens from vessel accidents and pollution. In December, the Coast Guard released proposed rules

that outline a number of regulations that it says would override state and local law. The proposal clarifies the Coast Guard’s federal authority over areas such as vessel safety and inspection, small passenger vessels, marine accident reporting, among matters. But in comments to the federal agency, some state officials say the rules are too broad and sweeping. The rules would interfere with or create confusion about statespecific laws regarding spill reporting, tug boat escorts or oil spill contingency plans, they say. For example, Washington state requires tug escorts for all tankers entering

the Strait of Juan de Fuca and headed for Washington ports. But under the proposed rules, the state would be prevented from requiring those escorts, said Maia Bellon, the state’s Ecology Director. “This is not acceptable to protect our waters,” she said at a hearing last month. In Alaska, officials are worried the proposal would take precedence over state regulations requiring tanker escorts for Prince William Sound. The rules also create uncertainty about whether staterequired oil spill contingency plans for tankers would be pre-empted by federal authority, Larry Hartig, commissionSee RULES, page A-16 C

JUNEAU — Kaye Kanne can be considered the mother of midwifery in Alaska. From founding the Juneau Family Health and Birth Center to successfully lobbying midwifery legislation into law, she has given thousands of women in Juneau and other Southeast communities something that was never available before, the option of alternative birthing methods. After practicing midwifery for three decades, attending more than 1,000 births and

opening the JFHBC in Juneau, Kanne retired from the birth center in April to focus on her work at the national level, which she has also been doing for the past 22 years. “When I ended up moving to Juneau in 1984, I had attended 200 births by then, but I hadn’t been practicing on my own,” Kanne said. “There was no licensing in Alaska, so I immediately got involved in that. It took eight years to get a midwifery board. The first board got the law passed in 1992, so there could be midwives in Alaska.” Kanne served on that See MIDWIFE, page A-16

Unions push for labor history courses By STEPHEN SINGER Associated Press

HARTFORD, Conn. — Unions and their allies are trying to flex their muscle in state legislatures, pushing for labor history to be included in social studies curriculum and hoping a new generation of high school students will one day be welleducated union members. But the results are instead shaping up as a reminder of the tough political landscape faced by organized labor. In six states, opponents have pushed back against demands that teachers offer lessons about the first craft unions in the 19th century, the large-scale organizing drives that powered the growth of industrial unions in the 1930s, the rise of organized labor as a political machine and other highlights of America’s union movement. California and Delaware are the only states with laws that encourage schools to teach labor history. Kevin Dayton, a policy consultant to non-union construction companies in California, said the legislation was pushed by unions to boost their ranks. “They believe that one of the reasons young people are not organizing in unions is because they’re not taught in schools the benefits of being in a collective workforce,” he said.

Ed Leavy, secretary-treasurer of teachers union AFT Connecticut, said the opposite is the case: “It’s not that labor unions are demanding this so we can increase the ranks. It’s people preventing this so we don’t.” The legislation proposed in Connecticut was benign, Leavy said. It would have helped teachers with resources such as textbooks and instruction guides. Steve Kass, a member of the executive board of the Greater New Haven Labor History Association and a backer of the legislation, said Connecticut’s legislation could have bolstered the union cause. “We’re losing a generation of workers who don’t have an understanding about the union movement,” he said. The measure failed this year for a third consecutive time even after supporters agreed to a compromise to include lessons in the history of capitalism. Opponents had many arguments against the measure. Joshua Katz, a math teacher at the Oxford Academy in Westbrook, told lawmakers that decisions about curriculum belong to teachers and students, not the legislature. “In general, I’m opposed to all of this top-down legislation,” he said. The state’s largest business group, the Connecticut Business and Industry Association,

‘We’re losing a generation of workers who don’t have an understanding about the union movement.’ — Steve Kass, executive board of the Great New Haven Labor History Association said the legislation would have diverted resources from teaching core curriculum and closing the state’s achievement gap. And although backers say the legislation would not have required schools to teach labor history, Robert Labanara, state relations manager at the Connecticut Conference of Municipalities, said the state Board of Education would have been ordered to help and to encourage school boards to include the history of labor and capitalism in curriculum. That’s less benign than it appears, he said. “It’s not uncommon in Connecticut to see this inch-by-inch law,” he said. “It’s one thing one year and becomes more of a financial and administrative burden down the road.” Various versions of labor history legislation have failed over the years in Illinois, Massachusetts, Pennsylvania and Tennessee, according to the National Conference of State Legislatures. Legislation also failed calling for labor history

and collective bargaining to be taught in Vermont. The Connecticut Legislature has already enacted measures requiring the state Board of Education to help and encourage local schools to provide curriculum materials for lessons about the Irish famine, African-American history and Holocaust studies. Steve Armstrong, president of the National Council for the Social Studies and a West Hartford teacher, says squeezing another course into an already crowded school year could be difficult. “It would be great if we can teach six weeks on the Irish potato famine, but it ain’t going to happen,” he said. To Leavy, labor history could introduce students to early labor leaders such as Eugene V. Debs in addition to industrialists who are familiar to most Americans. “You hear Rockefeller, you hear Vanderbilt,” he said. “You don’t hear Debs. The world is bigger than this.”

Oil Prices Thursday’s prices North Slope crude: $111.43, up from $109.12 on Wednesday West Texas Int.: $106.53, up from $104.40 on Wednesday

ANCHORAGE (AP) — The U.S. Bureau of Land Management has had trouble keeping up with inspections of new oil wells in “high priority” locations during the country’s recent drilling boom but that mostly was not the case in Alaska. Nationwide, about 40 percent of high priority wells went uninspected from fiscal year 2009 to 2012. Of five drilled in Alaska, only one was not inspected. High priority wells are near fragile watersheds or other high pollution risks. BLM Alaska spokeswoman KJ Mushovic says the uninspected Hilcorp Alaska LLC well was in the Kenai Peninsula’s Swanson River drilling unit. The agency had only one certified inspector on hand for the unit in the time period. She said BLM has an ongoing struggle with recruitment and retention of petroleum program employees in part because of competition with private industry.

Troops parade in London for queen’s birthday LONDON (AP) — Hundreds of British soldiers in tall bearskin hats and ceremonial dress marched Saturday in central London for the “Trooping the Color” parade, an annual display of pomp and pageantry that marks the official birthday of Queen Elizabeth II. The queen, who wore a pastel blue outfit, rode in a vintage horse-drawn carriage with her husband Prince Philip, starting from Buckingham Palace. She then inspected more than 1,000 soldiers at Horse Guards Parade. “Trooping the Color” originated from traditional preparations for battle, when flags were carried or “trooped” down the ranks for soldiers to see. The queen turned 88 on April 21, her actual birth date, which is usually celebrated in private. The monarch traditionally marks her birthday publicly in June. A huge crowd later gathered at Buckingham Palace, where the royal family appeared together on the balcony to watch a ceremonial Royal Air Force fly-past.

Thomas the Tank Engine chugs to US By MARK PRATT Associated Press

BOSTON — Thomas the Tank Engine, the iconic talking cartoon train that has thrilled millions of children around the world, and Edaville USA Railroad, a favorite destination of generations of southeastern New England families, are teaming up on a permanent Thomas-themed park. Groundbreaking on the first Thomas Land in the U.S. is scheduled for next month, and the park is expected to open for business in summer 2015. There are two other Thomas Lands, in the United Kingdom and Japan, but the Carver version would be the biggest. “Thomas fits Edaville like a glove,” Edaville owner Jon Delli Priscoli said. Thomas Land, being built on about 11 of Edaville’s 250 acres, will have 14 rides based on the television show, with the highlight being a 20-minute train ride on a life-sized Thomas the Tank Engine. A roller coaster, drop tower, Ferris wheel and other rides will feature more Thomas characters, including

Toby, Cranky the Crane and Harold the Helicopter. Children will even be able to meet Sir Topham Hatt, the railroad’s administrator. Edaville, which is still an active cranberry farm, and Carver are the perfect spot for Thomas Land, said Julie Freeland, director of live events for Hit Entertainment, a division of Fisher-Price, which owns the Thomas brand. The company has had a relationship with Edaville for more than decade with the “Day Out with Thomas” tour. Carver is near Boston and Providence, Rhode Island, yet has a rural feel similar to the mythical island of Sodor, where Thomas and his friends do their hauling and shunting. “The first time I went to Edaville I said, ‘This is Sodor,’” Freeland said. Edaville began operating as a tourist railroad in 1947, after Ellis D. Atwood bought abandoned railcars from a defunct railroad to carry cranberries and workers across his 1,500 acres of cranberry bogs. The train was named using Atwood’s initials: EDA.

Delli Priscoli’s association with Edaville dates to the mid1970s when he was offered a job straight out of high school. He didn’t take the job, but 25 years later in 1999, when he had a chance at an ownership stake in the narrow-gauge railroad, he jumped at it, rescuing it from the scrap heap. The railroad shut down in December 1991 when it was unable to get bank loans to cover offseason expenses and its owner and operator could not reach a contract agreement. Delli Priscoli and his partners brought it back to life. His association with Thomas goes back almost as far. His three sons were all Thomas fans, and even though the two oldest are now teenagers, his 6-year-old is still Thomas mad. “He’s all Thomas, all the time,” Delli Priscoli said. Adding Thomas Land will turn Edaville from a regional attraction to a national attraction, he said. He expects attendance, currently at about 250,000 peo-

ple a year, to quadruple. And that’s good for the town about 50 miles south of Boston and next door to Plymouth. “The town is very excited about this,” Town Administrator Michael Milanoski said. “Thomas is good wholesome entertainment.” Edaville, already one of the town’s largest employers, is expected to triple its workforce from about 100 to 300 full- and part-time employees, he said. The town will also benefit from the park’s spinoff business, as visitors eat at area restaurants and shop in local stores. And for those who fear Edaville will lose its character, Delli Priscoli says don’t fear. Edaville will continue all its old favorite events, including the annual Christmastime Festival of Lights and the National Cranberry Festival. “This is going to completely remake and revitalize the Edaville experience,” he said.

What Others Say

Downtown distillery won’t worsen alcohol problems This week, both the Fairbanks City

Opinion

CLARION P

Council and the Borough Assembly will take up agenda items relating to the pending sale of the city’s former municipal government seat to a local businessman looking to turn it into a craft distillery. The old city hall building, located at 410 Cushman St. downtown, shares a block with McCafferty’s coffee house. It houses the Fairbanks Downtown Association, the Fairbanks Community Museum and the Community Service Patrol. In recent years, the city has been looking to divest itself of most of the properties it doesn’t use for city services, and the old city hall building’s pending sale is part of that effort. The building didn’t garner much public interest until mid-May of this year, when businessman Patrick Levy made a $180,000 offer for the property. Some residents have questioned the wisdom of adding a liquor distilling business to the downtown area given the well-acknowledged issues of public inebriation there. These are valid concerns — Fairbanks owes itself a discussion on a broader plan to address not only alcoholism but also homelessness that is most visible in the city’s core. Those issues are real, and while several organizations work hard to make progress dealing with them, it’s clear that the Interior will grapple with their effects for some time to come. That said, it’s hard to see the addition of a craft distillery contributing to those issues in a significant way. As Mr. Levy has described his proposed venture, the Fairbanks Distillery would sell premium spirits similar to those of other in-state distilleries. If that is the case, chronic inebriates are unlikely to gravitate to the distillery given the handful of other lower-cost options for purchasing alcohol within easy walking distance. Additionally, state alcohol regulations are stricter for breweries and distilleries. From the restricted quantity of alcohol they can legally serve patrons on their premises to their shorter legal serving hours, distilleries are designed to be an unlikely drinking option for those who abuse alcohol. There are, however, ramifications of the sale that should not go without note. Chief among these is the fate of the two nonprofit organizations leasing space in the building. The Fairbanks Community Museum, though not as prolific or well-trafficked as the University of Alaska Museum of the North, nonetheless contains valuable and informative displays about the history of the Golden Heart City. Its location is also particularly convenient for visitors walking around the area close to their hotels or who are on brief downtown walking tours. The Downtown Association and its Community Service Patrol are also assets to the area, not only because of their prominence in several downtown-focused events throughout the year but also because of their work in addressing the selfsame problem of public inebriation that concerns those opposed to the building’s sale. Both of these organizations make substantial contributions to downtown Fairbanks. We hope that, presuming their location’s sale goes through, they are able to find suitable space to continue operating in the downtown area without undue financial burden. The decision on whether to allow for a distillery in downtown Fairbanks is not one to be taken lightly, and we appreciate the seriousness of both the City Council and Borough Assembly in considering the proposal. Given our state and city’s issues with alcohol, it’s understandable that many are hesitant to add another liquor-serving establishment in our downtown. But given the proprietor’s description of his proposed venture, the business’ potential impacts on the market for alcohol to the substance-abusing members of the Fairbanks community are minimal. We shouldn’t let our need to address those substance abuse issues stand in the way of a new local business that isn’t likely to be a part of the problem. — Fairbanks Daily News-Miner, June 9

A father’s gift: patience

I learned a life lesson putting together a scale model of a U.S. M-3 Lee tank. I didn’t know it at the time. All I knew was that my dad had decided we would jointly work on the model on a table in the living room after dinners. I’m pretty certain he didn’t undertake this project with any goal in mind other than indulging his fascination with World War II materiel together with me. But I look back at it as emblematic of some of the most important things I learned from him. I’m not sure why he picked the Lee. Probably for the novelty of it. A stopgap with obvious design flaws, the tank was an ungainly twin-gunned vehicle dating from the early days of World War II. It was nicknamed the Iron Cathedral, and it wasn’t a compliment. The M-3 had a high silhouette more appropriate to an object for target practice than a combat vehicle. The Russians got 1,000 M-3s through Lend-Lease and dubbed them “the Coffin for Seven Brothers.” For our part, we switched over to the iconic Sherman as soon as we could. Any scale model that is the least bit complicated is a daunting proposition, especially when you are kid. You open the kit and there are pages of complex instructions, a couple of plastic trees holding together dozens of small parts and some decals. The disparity between this starting

point and the depiction of the gloriously realized model that adorns the top of the box is always stark. And there are no shortcuts. There are two options: taking one careful step at a time, adding up to Rich Lowry hours and hours of concentration, or putting the kit back on the shelf and forgetting about it. Finishing is an exercise in the art of patience, as are so many characteristic fatherson activities, whether fly-fishing or fixing an old car. They are an implicit education in following directions, in getting details right and in delayed gratification — in short, in all the qualities that are important to success later on in almost any walk of life, even if you never catch another trout or pick up another wrench. Slowly, night after night, our Lee took shape. At first, there were a few random parts. The hull. The turret. The main gun. Then it started to look like something. We painted the body and all the accoutrements — the ax and other tools on its back. We moistened the decals, the insignia and other identifying markings, and carefully applied them. We heated a piece of plastic and

stretched it until it looked like an antenna. Finally, we had a reasonable facsimile of a Lee tank, and the deep satisfaction of an intricate project done right. My dad was the gentlest and most patient man I ever knew. I would have learned from his example whether we had built that tank or not, but it stands out as a shared experience in his painstaking care. He was an English professor with the heart of a military historian. After we built the M-3, he took up scale-modeling as serious hobby and built every major tank, aircraft and ship of World War II, and then some. There are planes in his study that I will have to consult an aviation expert to identify. Until the end, his worktable was scattered with paint bottles, glue, razor blades, tweezers, X-Acto knives, brushes of every size, and emery boards — all the paraphernalia of his exacting craft. Eventually, our Lee got relegated to the basement. It was a simple kit compared with the ones he completed later. But after he passed away last year, I dusted it off and took it home with me. The awkward old Lee has a minor place in military history, but an outsized place in my heart, as a token of what my father bequeathed to me.

Man sentenced to death for 2012 killings of 3 By ADRIAN SAINZ Associated Press

MEMPHIS, Tenn. — A jury on Sunday sentenced a Memphis man to death for killing his girlfriend and her parents in a shooting rampage in a home more than two years ago. Jurors deliberated for two hours before handing down the death sentence for Sedrick Clayton, 31. They also could have sentenced Clayton to life in prison, with or without the possibility of parole. The same 12-person jury convicted Clayton of first degree murder Saturday for the fatal shooting of his girlfriend, 23-year-old Pashea Fisher, and her parents in the Fishers’ home on January 19, 2012. Clayton got into an argument with his girlfriend before shooting her parents, Arithio and Patricia Fisher, in their bedroom. Clayton then shot his girlfriend at close range near the front door. Clayton fired 12 shots, hitting the victims nine times. Jurors heard a chaotic emergency call in which Pashea Fisher begged Clayton not to kill her parents. Clayton’s and Pashea Fisher’s 4-year-old daughter Joydin was in the house at the time, and he took her with him before turning himself in. The girl, now 6, was a key trial witness, saying that her father shot her mother and grandparents. “Three wonderful people lost their life in a single morning for absolutely no reason,” prosecutor Jennifer Nichols said. Later, she added, “He could have left (the house) at any time. He chose not to.” Clayton did not testify or make any statements during the sentencing hearing. Outside the courtroom, members of the Fisher family softly sang, “His Eye is on the

Sparrow.” No less than 20 of the Fishers’ friends and relatives attended each day of the seven-day trial. On one day they dressed in red tops, blue jeans and pearls, because Pashea Fisher’s favorite color was red, her father often wore blue jeans, and her mother liked to wear pearls. The Fishers also shared food with the Clayton family as they waited during jury deliberations. Defense attorney Gerald Skahan asked the jury to spare Clayton’s life and sentence him to life in prison for several reasons, including the pain his execution would cause his family and the fact Clayton had no prior adult criminal record other than traffic violations. Clayton turned himself in after the shooting and confessed in a typed statement taken by police the same day. In the statement, Clayton said he started shooting out of fear, after Arithio Fisher kicked him in the chest while Clayton and his girlfriend argued about her possible infidelity. Skahan proposed the shootings were in self-defense. Before the trial, Clayton offered to plead guilty in return for serving three consecutive life sentences without parole. Shelby County District Attorney Amy Weirich rejected the offer. Nichols, the prosecutor, told jurors that Clayton deserved the death penalty because he committed mass murder, which she defined as the killing of three or more people during a single criminal episode or during a 48-month period. Weirich took into consideration the opinion of the Fisher family, the brutal nature of the killings, and aggravating factors leading to a sentence of death in rejecting the plea offer, Nichols said.

Boy on Father’s Day visit, 5 others, die in fire By SAMANTHA HENRY Associated Press

NEWARK, N.J. — A teenager on a Father’s Day visit to Newark to honor his deceased dad died, along with his mother and four others, when a fastmoving fire ripped through a three-story home early Sunday, authorities and the boy’s grandmother said. The blaze broke out at the single-family residence about 4 a.m. and soon spread to another home, the Essex County Prosecutor’s office said. Both structures were destroyed. Iris Sydney, of neighboring Irvington, stood outside the burned-out residence later Sunday, clutching a framed studio portrait of her grandson and his mother. They were supposed to meet her for a Father’s Day service at the Solid Rock church, where his father attended services before he died two years ago in a bicycle accident in Newark, she told The Associated Press. But they never showed up. When Sydney returned home from church, a sheriff’s deputy was standing at her door and gave her the sad news: 15-year-old Stephan AP Photo/Mel Evans Sydney and his mother, NorFirefighters and police work near the rubble of a burned out een “Michelle” Johnson, were home as they look for clues to a fire that authorities say killed killed in the fire, along with six people in Newark, N.J., Sunday. four others.

Sydney, 77, said the boy and his mother were visiting from Crawford, Georgia, and were staying with Johnson’s relatives at the house, now black and charred, when the fire broke out. The boy had gotten a haircut for church. “I can’t believe this,” she said. “But I’m telling you: I buried my husband ... I bury my son, and now this is my grandchild. I feel it. I feel it in my heart ... This is a sad day for the Sydney family. It is.” Authorities have not determined the cause of the fire but say it doesn’t appear to be suspicious, according to Thomas Fennelly, chief assistant prosecutor. Everyone in the second home managed to escape safely, he said. All that remained of the home Sunday afternoon was the blackened frame, with piles of twisted furniture and belongings spilling out of the empty sills that once held windows. The white fence around the front of the property was still intact. Carol Valentine sorted through smoke-damaged photographs and photo albums with charred pages on the sidewalk in front of her fiance’s home, which is next door to the residence where the fire started. Her fiance had been out of town and returned early

‘For the city of Newark, this is a sad and tragic day. The community is hurting.’ — Rev. Thomas Ellis Sunday to his home, which was already ablaze. “He’d been delayed on planes for two days. He had gone to a graduation,” she said. “Had he not been delayed, he would have been sleeping, and he probably wouldn’t be alive.” She said she didn’t know much about the neighbors. Sydney said both sides of Stephan’s family have ties to the Caribbean. She is a native of Georgetown, Guyana, and Stephan had been scheduled to go with his maternal grandmother on Wednesday to her native Trinidad and Tobago for a month-long visit with family there. Cheryl Sydney, the teenager’s aunt, was still wearing her white church dress and pearls as she stood across the street from the fire-ravaged house. She described how she admired both her nephew and his mother and listed their good qualities. “Main thing is that she was a good person, a young, vibrant person,” Cheryl Sydney said. “This is my nephew — young, 15-years-old, artistic,

poetry, dancer — did not deserve this.” Interim Mayor Luis A. Quintana, who went to the fire scene as firefighters worked to control the blaze, said in a statement Sunday: “Our heartfelt condolences go out to the family and friends of our six residents whose lives were taken by this horrific fire. “As we mourn the loss of these six residents, I ask Newarkers to cherish being with their families today and keep all those affected by this fire in their prayers,” he said. A small storefront church called Tree of Life Ministries, on the other side of the home where the six died, appeared undamaged. Neighbors gathered outside the home — many in their Sunday church clothes — shaking their heads at the loss of so many lives. The Rev. Thomas Ellis lives in the neighborhood and stopped by to offer his support. “For the city of Newark, this is a sad and tragic day,” he said. “The community is hurting.” He and about 15 others held a prayer vigil Sunday evening.

Changing pot laws prompt child-endangerment review By KRISTEN WYATT Associated Press

DENVER — A Colorado man loses custody of his children after getting a medical marijuana card. The daughter of a Michigan couple growing legal medicinal pot is taken by child-protection authorities after an ex-husband says their plants endangered kids. And police officers in New Jersey visit a home after a 9-year-old mentions his mother’s hemp advocacy at school. While the cases were eventually decided in favor of the parents, the incidents underscore a growing dilemma: While a pot plant in the basement may not bring criminal charges in many states, the same plant can become a piece of evidence in child custody or abuse cases. “The legal standard is always the best interest of the children, and you can imagine how subjective that can get,” said Jess Cochrane, who helped found Boston-based Family Law & Cannabis Alliance after finding child-abuse laws have been slow to catch up with pot policy. No data exist to show how often pot use comes up in custody disputes, or how often child-welfare workers intervene in homes where marijuana is used. But in dozens of interviews with lawyers and officials who work in this area, along with activists who counsel parents on marijuana and child endangerment, the consensus is clear: Pot’s growing acceptance is complicating the task of determining when kids are in danger. A failed proposal in the Colorado Legislature this year showed the dilemma. Colorado considers adult marijuana use legal, but pot

is still treated like heroin and other Schedule I substances as they are under federal law. As a result, when it comes to defining a drug-endangered child, pot can’t legally be in a home where children reside. Two Democratic lawmakers tried to update the law by saying that marijuana must also be shown to be a harm or risk to children to constitute abuse. But the effort led to angry opposition from both sides — pot-using parents who feared the law could still be used to take their children, and marijuana-legalization opponents who argued that pot remains illegal under federal law and that its very presence in a home threatens kids. After hours of emotional testimony, lawmakers abandoned the effort as too complicated. Among the teary-eyed moms at the hearing was Moriah Barnhart, who moved to the Denver area from Tampa, Florida, in search of a cannabis-based treatment for a daughter with brain cancer. “We moved here across the country so we wouldn’t be criminals. But all it takes is one neighbor not approving of what we’re doing, one police officer who doesn’t understand, and the law says I’m a child abuser,” Barnhart said. Supporters vow to try again to give law enforcement some definitions about when the presence of drugs could harm children, even if the kids don’t use it. “There are people who are very reckless with what they’re doing, leaving marijuana brownies on the coffee table or doing hash oil extraction that might blow the place up. Too often with law enforcement, they’re just looking at the legality of the behavior and not how it is affecting the children,” said Jim Gerhardt of the

Colorado Drug Investigators Association, which supported the bill. Colorado courts are wading into the question of when adult pot use endangers kids. The state Court of Appeals in 2010 sided with a marijuana-using dad who lost visitation rights though he never used the drug around his daughter. The court reversed a county court’s decision that the father couldn’t have unsupervised visitation until passing a drug test, saying that a parent’s marijuana use when away from his or her children doesn’t suggest any risk of child harm. But child-endangerment standards remain murky in Colorado, with wide disparities in how local child-protection officers and law enforcement approach pot, said Rob Corry, a Denver lawyer who successfully argued the father’s custody appeal. Corry, who helped Colorado’s 2012 campaign to legalize recreational marijuana, said the main thrust of the effort was to treat pot like alcohol. “Think of brewing beer. You’ve got a constitutional right to do it. There’s nothing wrong with it. Marijuana should be just as simple — you just keep it on a high shelf, right next to your vodka. But in practice, this is not how law enforcement treats marijuana,” he said. In the absence of legal guidelines, a growing network of blogs counsel parents in how to deal with police or childprotection agencies concerned about parental marijuana use, including one, Ladybud, run by legal-pot activist Diane Fornbacher. She said she moved to Colorado this year after childprotection workers visited her family in New Jersey after a teacher alerted officials when

Candidates’ strength in 2014 may hurt presidential hopes for 2016 DENVER (AP) — Republican strength in this year’s House and Senate races could, strangely enough, hurt the party’s presidential chances by stalling the changes in style and policy advocated after Mitt Romney’s defeat in the 2012 presidential campaign. GOP officials and strategists say it’s hard to persuade party leaders to adjust the political recipe when they feel increasingly upbeat about adding Senate control to their solid House majority this fall. This optimism, numerous GOP strategists say, makes looking past the party’s loss of the popular vote in five of the last six presidential elections easy. “It’s very difficult to make an argument for change and modernization when you’re winning,” said Joel Sawyer, a former South

Carolina GOP official who advises campaigns in several states. Citing the party’s nationwide reliance on older white voters, Sawyer said, the GOP needs “to start modernizing now to become relevant to younger voters and nonwhite voters.” The party’s dilemma was in sharp relief in a Denver public television studio here, where four candidates gathered for a Republican primary debate in the race to represent the deeply conservative, rural and exurban 4th Congressional District, which covers the eastern third of the state. All the candidates said they oppose gay marriage, want to repeal President Barack Obama’s health care plan and object to allowing people living in the country illegally to become citizens. C

her son mentioned hemp — pot’s non-hallucinogenic cousin — at school. “They said, ‘We’re just here to help.’ Emotionally, my brain was like, ‘My kids! My kids!’ My mama bear instinct kicked in,” she said. The need for better standards about when marijuana endangers kids is growing by the day, said Maria Green, a Lansing,

Michigan, mother who lost custody of her infant daughter for three months last year. Green grows pot to treat her husband’s epilepsy, and though Michigan’s medical marijuana law states parents shall not be denied custody or visitation with a child for following the statute, a legal dispute with her ex-husband led to her daughter being placed with a grandpar-

ent until it was resolved. The ex-husband who brought the complaint declined an interview until talking with his lawyer. “I never in a million years thought that they were going to take my daughter,” Green said. “I know that there’s a place for child protection, but I would love to see it used to protect kids from being actually hurt.”

Militants post photos of Iraqi soldiers being lined up and shot north of Baghdad BAGHDAD — The Islamic militants who overran cities and towns in Iraq last week posted graphic photos that appeared to show their gunmen massacring scores of captured Iraqi soldiers, while the prime minister vowed Sunday to “liberate every inch” of captured territory. The pictures on a militant website appear to show masked fighters of the Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant, or ISIL, loading the captives onto flatbed trucks before forcing them to lie face-down in a shallow ditch with their arms tied behind their backs. The final images show the bodies of the captives soaked in blood after being shot at several locations. Chief military spokesman Lt. Gen. Qassim al-Moussawi confirmed the photos’ authenticity and said he was aware of cases of mass murder of captured Iraqi soldiers in areas held by ISIL. He told The Associated Press that an examination of the images by military experts showed that about 170 soldiers were shot to death by the militants after their capture. Captions on the photos showing the soldiers after they were shot say “hundreds have been liquidated,” but the total could not immediately be verified. On Friday, U.N. human rights chief Navi Pillay warned against “murder of all kinds” and other war crimes in Iraq, saying the number killed in recent days may run into the hundreds. She said in a statement that her office had received reports that militants rounded up and killed Iraqi soldiers as well as 17 civilians in a single street in Mosul. Her office also heard of “summary executions and extrajudicial killings” after ISIL militants overran Iraqi cities and towns, she said.

Pakistan army launches attack against militants

Around the World

Peninsula Clarion, Monday, June 16, 2014

WASHINGTON — From the Rose Garden, President Barack Obama outlined a timetable for the gradual withdrawal of the last U.S. troops in Afghanistan and said confidently, “This is how wars end in the 21st century.” But less than three weeks after his May 27 announcement, there is a sudden burst of uncertainty surrounding the way Obama has moved to bring the two conflicts he inherited to a close. In Iraq, a fast-moving Islamic insurgency is pressing toward Baghdad, raising the possibility of fresh American military action more than two years after the last U.S. troops withdrew. The chaos in Iraq also raises questions about whether Obama’s plans to keep a small military presence in Afghanistan until the end of 2016 can prevent a similar backslide there or whether extremists are simply lying in wait until the U.S. withdrawal deadline passes. “Could all of this have been avoided? The answer is absolutely yes,” Sen. John McCain, R-Ariz., said of the deteriorating situation in Iraq. McCain, one of the White House’s chief foreign policy critics and Obama’s 2008 presidential rival, added that Obama is “about to make the same mistake in Afghanistan he made in Iraq.” That criticism strikes at the heart of Obama’s clearest foreign policy pledge: a commitment to ending the conflicts started by his predecessor, George W. Bush, and keeping the U.S. out of further military entanglements.

Bitter feud between Casey Kasem’s family at odds with calmness of his pop culture work

By REBECCA SANTANA Associated Press

ISLAMABAD — The Pakistani army Sunday launched a long-awaited operation against foreign and local militants in a tribal region near the Afghan border, hours after jets pounded insurgent hideouts in the country’s northwest, the army said. The move effectively ends the government’s policy of trying to negotiate with Pakistani Taliban militants instead of using force to end the years of fighting that has killed tens of thousands of civilians and security forces. It comes a week after the militants laid siege to the country’s largest airport in an attack that shocked the country. The North Waziristan tribal area, where the operation is targeted, is one of the last areas in the tribal regions where the military has not launched a large operation. Militant groups including the Pakistani Taliban, al-Qaida and the Haqqani network have long used the region as a base from which to attack both Pakistan and neighboring Afghanistan. “Using North Waziristan as a base, these terrorists had waged a war against the state of Pakistan,” military spokesman Gen. Asim Saleem Bajwa said in a press release announcing the operation. The U.S. has pushed Pakistan to clear out militants in North Waziristan because they often use it as a sanctuary from which to attack NATO and Afghan troops. But Pakistan has said its troops were already too spread out across the northwest, and the military has also wanted political support from the civilian government to carry out an operation which will likely spark a bloody backlash across the country. On Sunday night, the defense minister aggressively supported the operation, but there were no comments from Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif. “Now we have to fight this do or die war,” Defense Minister Khawaja Muhammad Asif told Pakistan’s Dunya Television. “We will fight it till the end.” There was no immediate in-

formation on how many troops were involved. The military said troops had been deployed along the borders to prevent militants from escaping, and within North Waziristan troops had cordoned off areas including the largest cities of Mir Ali and Miranshah. Refugee camps have been established, the local population is being told to approach designated areas so they can be evacuated and surrender points have been established at which militants can give up their weapons, the military said. They also asked Afghanistan to secure its side of the border. Exactly a week ago, ten militants and 26 people died when militants attacked the Karachi airport. The airport attack, against a transportation hub vital to the country’s economy, shocked Pakistanis, and appeared to mark a turning point. Pakistan has been criticized for fighting some militants such as the Pakistani Taliban which attacks the state but maintaining links with other militant groups such as the Afghan Taliban or the Haqqani network that they feel help them maintain influence in Afghanistan. A key question surrounding this operation will be whether it targets all the fighters equally, said Ayesha Siddiqa, author of “Military Inc.” about the Pakistani military. She also said that just focusing on North Waziristan ignores the wider problem of militants in the rest of the country. “This is going half way, and not the full way,” she said. Pakistan already has a sizeable military presence in North Waziristan, an estimated 28,000 to 30,000 troops, said defense analyst Zahid Hussain, whose book “The Scorpion’s Tale” plots the rise of militancy in Pakistan. Hussain said militants had been using North Waziristan essentially as a training base. This operation will establish the military’s control across the territory and make it more difficult for militants to freely operate there. But, he warned, it won’t be easy, and it will likely spark reprisals. “It is going to be a long

LOS ANGELES — In pop culture, Casey Kasem was as sweet and dependable as a glass of warm milk and a plate of chocolate chip cookies, which only made the ugliness of his last few years of life seem more bizarre and tragic.

Israeli prime minister accuses Hamas militants of kidnapping teenagers missing in West Bank JERUSALEM — Israel’s prime minister on Sunday accused the Hamas militant group of kidnapping three Israeli teenagers who disappeared over the weekend, as the military arrested dozens of Palestinians and closed off West Bank roads in a frantic search for the youths. The crisis escalated already heightened tensions between Israel and the new Palestinian government, which is headed by Western-backed President Mahmoud Abbas but backed by Hamas. Israel, which considers Hamas a terrorist group, has condemned the alliance and said it holds Abbas responsible for the teens’ safety. “Hamas terrorists carried out Thursday’s kidnapping of three Israeli teenagers. We know that for a fact,” Netanyahu said. “Hamas denials do not change this fact.” Speaking in English, Netanyahu also tried to rally international opinion against the new Palestinian government. His calls for the international community to shun the government have been ignored so far. — The Associated Press

military said 105 militants were killed in the strikes. “There were confirmed reports of presence of foreign and local terrorists in these hideouts who were linked in planning the Karachi airport attack,” the military said.

Oilers, Monarchs play to another tie By JEFF HELMINIAK Peninsula C larion

Soccer is a sport known for its ties. Baseball? Not so much, beyond that they always go to the runner. But so far this season, the Oilers have more ties on their record (2) than there have been at the World Cup (0). The Oilers and Lake Erie (Michigan) Monarchs played to a 2-2 tie Sunday at Coral Seymour Memorial Park in Kenai, marking the second time the squads have tied in three days. The Oilers are now 4-1-2 overall, while the Monarchs are 2-5-3, and a very soccerlike 0-1-3 in Alaska. Conventional knowledge holds that a tie is like kissing your sister, but Oilers head coach Kyle Richardson would much rather tie in a nonleague game than burn up pitching arms in advance of the Alaska Baseball League season. “We’re just so thin right now,” Richardson said. “We don’t want to hurt anybody’s arm.” Richardson said that team trainer Shelby Daly is probably the most valuable part of the team right now for the work she is doing icing down all

the sore arms. Reinforcements are on the way. Three pitchers and a field player are expected to arrive today, while Wednesday should see the arrival of a pitcher, catcher and infielder. Richardson said starter Dallas DeVrieze knew his team had very little in the bullpen. That made DeVrieze’s start all the more encouraging. He got through seven innings on 98 pitches, 65 for strikes. He gave up six hits and an unearned run while walking one and striking out five. “He was awesome,” Richardson said. “It was the same thing he did last time against the Seals. He throws a lot of strikes and that’s the type of thing that wins you games.” Richardson also liked what he saw out of his defense under pressure, as the Monarchs left seven runners in scoring position. A good example came in the fifth, when third baseman Ethan McGill retired Grant Miller and Ryan Callahan on slow rollers to third to help strand Pat McInerney at third base. “So far on defense, we’ve been really good,” Richardson said. “Guys have been asked to make some tough plays

Spurs take their revenge San Antonio wins 5th crown BRIAN MAHONEY AP Basketball Writer

SAN ANTONIO — From their low moment in the NBA Finals, back to the top of the league. The San Antonio Spurs turned the rematch with the Miami Heat into no match at all. The Spurs finished off a dominant run to their fifth NBA championship Sunday night, ending the Heat’s two-year title reign with a 104-87 victory that wrapped up the series in five games. A year after their heartbreaking seven-game defeat, their only loss in six finals appearances, the Spurs won four routs to deny Miami’s quest for a third straight championship. “Hard to believe, isn’t it? Manu Ginobili said. “We played at a really high level.” Finals MVP Kawhi Leonard had 22 points and 10 rebounds for the Spurs, who added this title to the ones they won in 1999, 2003, ‘05 and ‘07. They nearly had another last year, but couldn’t hold off the Heat and lost the final two games. San Antonio rebounded from an early 16-point deficit by outscoring the Heat 37-13 from

the start of the second quarter to midway in the third, kicking off the celebration the Heat canceled last season. “We remember what happened last year and how it felt in that locker room and we used it and built on it and got back here and it’s amazing,” Tim Duncan said. “It makes last year OK.” LeBron James had 17 firstquarter points to help the Heat get off to a fast start. He finished with 31 points and 10 rebounds for the Heat, who lost their spot atop the NBA to the team that had it so long. “They played exquisite basketball this series and in particular these last three games and they are the better team. There’s no other way to say it,” Heat coach Erik Spoelstra said. The Spurs won four titles in nine years, but hadn’t been back on top since 2007, making Foreigner’s “Feels Like the First Time” an appropriate song choice after the final buzzer. Duncan and coach Gregg Popovich have been here for all of them, and it was the fourth for Tony Parker and Ginobili, who with Duncan are once again the reigning the Big Three in the NBA.

Kaymer wins going away DOUG FERGUSON AP Golf Writer

PINEHURST, N.C. — The U.S. Open trophy Martin Kaymer won Sunday was all he needed to prove he was anything but a one-hit wonder in the majors, and that the two years he spent trying to build a complete game were worth all the doubt that followed him. As he set it down on the table, Kaymer rubbed off a tiny smudge on the gleaming silver, which was only fitting. Over four days at Pinehurst No. 2, he dusted the field in a performance that ranks among the best. Kaymer set the 36-hole scoring record by opening with a pair of 65s. He never let anyone closer than four shots over the final 48 holes. Equipped with a five-shot lead, he was the only player from the last eight groups to break par. Welcome back, Martin. “You want to win majors in your career, but if you can win one more, it means so much more,” Kaymer said after closing with a 1-under 69 for an eight-shot victory over Rickie

Fowler and two-time heart transplant recipient Erik Compton. “Some people, especially when I went through that low, called me a one-hit wonder and those things. So it’s quite nice proof, even though I don’t feel like I need to prove a lot to people. But somehow, it’s quite satisfying to have two under your belt.” The 29-year-old German is a forgotten star no more. Kaymer returned to the elite in golf by turning the toughest test in golf into a runaway at Pinehurst No. 2, becoming only the seventh player to go wireto-wire in the 114 years of the U.S. Open. Only three players finished the championship under par. One guy appeared to be playing a different tournament. “No one was catching Kaymer this week,” Compton said. “I was playing for second. I think we all were playing for second.” Only a late bogey kept Kaymer from joining Tiger Woods and Rory McIlroy as the only players to finish a U.S. Open in double digits under par.

on the move with runners on base, and they’ve been able to do it.” While Richardson has been satisfied with the pitching and defense, he is still waiting for the offense to come around. After some trouble early, Monarchs starter Pat Haynes was in full control of the Oilers bats. He pitched seven innings and gave up five hits and two runs — one earned — while walking one and striking out five. After the first inning, the Oilers didn’t move a runner past first base on Haynes or reliever Zach Olsewski. The Oilers got their lone two runs in the first inning, when Jordan Sanford walked and A.J. Hernandez singled to put runners on the corners. Sanford would score on a throwing error by the catcher, while Josh Rose, who finished 2 for 4, would single in Hernandez. Like Richardson, Monarchs head coach John Raithel is OK with the tie score. “This is a fun trip, but we are certainly serious about the baseball,” he said. Raithel is using the trip to give players a chance to experiment with positions they don’t normally play. He

also is trying to get all the field players an equal amount of at-bats. That explains why J.P. Maracani, whose speed and aggressiveness on the basepaths gave the Oilers fits as he went 2 for 3 with a run, was subbed out in the seventh inning. The Monarchs are also trying to get in as much of the Alaska experience as they can. Saturday, half the team left Kenai at 4 a.m. to go halibut fishing out of Homer in seas that Raithel said were the worst so far this season, according to the captain. “A couple of the players and the parents weren’t feeling so well,” he said. The other half of the team took a water taxi across Kachemak Bay and hiked to Grewingk Glacier even though some, according to Raithel, didn’t exactly have the proper footwear for a hike. The Monarchs lost 9-4 to the Oilers on Saturday night, but Sunday night found them barbecuing 80 pounds of halibut, plus burgers and hotdogs, in a park overlooking the Kenai River. “You can’t walk away too disappointed,” Raithel said. “The kids have

gotten to do a lot of fun things that they are going to remember for the rest of their lives.” The Oilers and Monarchs conclude the four-game series tonight at 7 p.m. at Seymour Park.

Twins sweep Palmer

A-9

The American Legion Twins swept host Palmer on Sunday, winning 10-1 in seven innings in a game scheduled for nine innings, and 19-3 in five innings in a game scheduled for seven innings. The Twins move to 2-1 in the league and 3-1 overall, while Palmer falls to 0-3 in the league and overall. Kenny Griffin won the first game on the mound, pitching six innings and giving up five hits and an earned run while striking out six and walking two. Joey Becher pitched the last inning, striking out one and hitting two. Twins head coach Hector Rivera said Griffin did not get a chance to pitch for Soldotna High School this year because he was busy catching. But the coach said Griffin was excited to take the mound Sunday and got the job done. At the plate, Griffin was 2 for 4 with two runs while Dallas Pierren was 2 for 5 with an RBI and two runs, Tommy Bowe had a triple and two RBIs, JJ Sonnen was 1 for 3 with an RBI and a run, and Klayton Justice was 2 for 4 with an RBI and a run. The second game saw Mathew Daugherty pitch four innings and give up three hits and three earned runs. Sonnen closed up with a scoreless inning, allowing a hit while striking out one. Rivera said Daugherty is a young pitcher who worked through some control problems, but he had plenty of cushion because the Twins scored 13 runs in the first inning, sending 18 batters to the plate. Hector A. Rivera had a monster game from the leadoff spot, getting a hit, double and home run with four RBIs. “As he was jogging through third base, he said, ‘Happy Father’s Day,’” Hector Rivera said. “It was pretty good.” Also, Pierren was 1 for 2 with a double, Bowe was 2 for 3 with four RBIs, Tyler Covey had a hit, RBI and run, Jake Darrow was 3 for 4 with a triple, RBI and three runs, Nathan Prior was 1 for 3 with two RBIs and a run, Cody Quelland was 1 for 3 with two RBIs and a run, and Justin Wisnewski was 1 for 2 with two runs.

Cardinals complete sweep of Washington in front of Adams’ father By The Associated Press

ST. LOUIS — Matt Adams homered for the third straight game, all with his father in attendance, and the St. Louis Cardinals beat Washington 5-2 Sunday for a sweep. Adams gave St. Louis a 2-0 lead in the second inning with a two-run shot on an 0-2 pitch, his sixth homer of the season. His dad, Jamie, had been visiting from Pennsylvania on Father’s Day weekend.

“Just a great team and we do it together,” Parker said. Chris Bosh finished with 13 points and Dwyane Wade just 11 on 4-of-12 shooting for the Heat, providing James nowhere near the help he needed. The painful conclusion to last year served as the fuel for this one, powering the Spurs to a 62-win season that topped the NBA and led to a rematch with Miami, the NBA’s first in the finals since Chicago beat Utah in 1997-98.

Messi comes through By The Associated Press

RIO DE JANEIRO — Lionel Messi scored a stunning second-half goal to push Argentina to a 2-1 victory over World Cup newcomer Bosnia at the Maracana stadium Sunday night in the Group F opener for both teams. Messi lifted Argentina in the 65th minute, moving in from the right and striking a low leftfooted shot off the inside of the post behind goalkeeper Asmir Begovic. It was just the second World Cup goal for Messi, adding to one he scored eight years ago in Germany. Vedad Ibisevic scored a close-in goal in the 85th to give Bosnia hope. FRANCE 3, HONDURAS 0 PORTO ALEGRE, Brazil — Karim Benzema scored twice and set up another that was confirmed by goal-line technology to help France beat Honduras in their Group E opener. Benzema’s first goal came from the penalty spot just before halftime after Wilson Palacios was sent off with his second yellow card for charging into Paul Pogba. The Real Madrid striker calmly slotted the ball to the left of Noel Valladares. With Honduras down to 10 men, France continued to dominate and Benzema set up the second goal in the 48th minute — the first to be confirmed by goal-line technology at the World Cup.

SWITZERLAND 2, ECUADOR 1 BRASILIA, Brazil — Haris Seferovic scored deep in stoppage time gave Switzerland a dramatic victory over Ecuador in their Group E opener.

Round 2 went to the Spurs, but both teams have challenges to navigate for a rubber match. San Antonio will face questions — as it has for years — about the age of its core, and whether Duncan, Ginobili and Popovich want to stick around. The Heat will brace for the potential free agency of James, Wade and Bosh, and will need younger, fresher pieces around the three All-Stars if they all stay. But this moment belongs to the Spurs. Playing a methodical style for many years that was predicated on throwing the ball

into Duncan made San Antonio respected, but never beloved. The Spurs were TV ratings killers, casual viewers finding them not much fun to watch. But Popovich opened up the offense a few years ago, making the Spurs an easy-to-like, toughto-beat group that thrives on ball movement and 3-point shooting. “You showed the world how beautiful this game is,” Commissioner Adam Silver told the Spurs during the postgame award ceremony.

season, the Spurs remain the NBA’s model organization, a small-market team that simply wins big and hardly ever does it with a high draft pick. Instead, they found players overseas or in other organizations who would fit the Spurs’ way of doing things and mesh with the Duncan, Parker and Ginobili, the winningest trio in postseason history. That included Leonard, acquired in a draft-night trade with Indiana after playing at San Diego State, and Patty Mills, an Australian national who scored 17 points off the bench.

Having a baby won’t fix fighting couple’s problems idea. Babies are expensive, and you’re already carrying a heavy load. I suspect that Ethan thinks a baby will fix what’s wrong in your relationship, but he’s wrong. Don’t do it! It would be a huge mistake.

Abigail Van Buren

DEAR ABBY: In the summer of 1995, I was a 12-year-old girl living in a motel in a suburb of Cleveland with my mother, older brother and younger sister. We were poor and very hungry. My mother led my younger sister and me to a doughnut shop for our only meal of the day. After waiting for everyone to leave, my mother approached the young woman behind the counter and asked to buy some doughnuts with our foreign coins. It was the only money

we had. Instead of turning us away, she told my mother: “We’re allowed to give away a certain number of free doughnuts every day. Just tell me what you want.” (I don’t know if this was true.) It was because of her kindness that my family ate that day. If that kind woman is reading this, I want to say: “Thank you. You made the hunger go away for just a little bit, so a mother and her children could go a day without pain. You remain forever in a little girl’s heart.” — URSALA IN MESSINA, ITALY DEAR URSALA: I, too, hope your benefactor sees your letter. Her generosity that day provided nourishment not only for your bodies, but also for your faith in the humanity of others — and I am sure you have emulated her example in the years that have followed. After all, isn’t that what acts of kindness are all about? Hints from Heloise

Jacqueline Bigar’s Stars

Rubes

HHHH Keep reaching out to someone at a distance or to someone whose opinion you respect in order to get feedback on a creative twist to an existing plan. The unexpected will play a role in opening a door. Someone you meet might be emotionally unavailable. Tonight: Your choice. CANCER (June 21-July 22) HHHH Stay on top of a problem that keeps emerging. You’ll need to handle this matter before it becomes even more of a problem. Do not underestimate your ability to persuade someone to think as you do. Tonight: Listen to what a family member has to share. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) HHHH Someone close to you could be testy. Think carefully before chiming in about this person’s irritation. Communication is likely to open up, but a friend or loved one might be too abrupt at first. Let him or her be for now. Tonight: Go along with someone else’s request. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) HHH Use caution with your finances, as you easily could go overboard in some way. Communication with a person you care about could be difficult. Focus on what you must do, and let time work its wonders. Someone is likely to change his or her tune. Tonight: Get a lot done. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) HHHH You could be overwhelmed by everything you have to do, but once you get started, you’ll achieve a lot. You are likely to withdraw if someone mentions anything about money. You have good reason to assume that stance. Keep an eye on your budget. Tonight: Add more fun. SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21)

By Leigh Rubin

Ziggy

HHH Pressure builds, and you might feel irritated or frustrated with someone. Don’t push a personal situation, and don’t demand that someone else think like you. You probably are overly serious and difficult without even realizing it. Tonight: Happily head home. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) HHHH Initiate a conversation, but don’t expect to have control over what others say. In fact, you could be shocked by the twists and turns of a conversation and where the talk finally lands. Recognize that you don’t have control over anyone but yourself. Tonight: Hang with a friend. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) HHH Be aware of your finances and your commitments. You generally are, but right now there seems to be an element of the unexpected running through your day that has you feeling off-kilter. A friend could be difficult; know that you can’t change this person. Tonight: Your treat. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) HHHH Despite a difficult boss, you’ll be on cruise control. You simply have to bypass this person and not allow him or her to get to you. A surprise that will encourage you to try something different is likely to occur. You won’t be able to resist the offer. Tonight: As you like it. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) HHH Keep your own counsel, as it might be too difficult to see the big picture with a certain situation right now. You will gather a lot of information in a conversation with someone who might be viewing the same situation differently. Tonight: Gain a new perspective.

Busy businesses Dear Readers: Here is this week’s Sound Off, about trying to get through to businesses on the phone: “My Sound Off is when you finally get through to a business on the phone, only to be told ‘All operators are busy now; please hang up and call again later.’” — A Reader in Texas That can be frustrating! Unfortunately, it is something we all have to deal with at times. Try calling at nonpeak hours, like after lunch, to see if that helps you get through a little more easily. — Heloise Fast Facts Dear Readers: Here are other uses for marbles: * Place in a jar to use as a paperweight. * Put in the bottom of a plant pot to keep soil in. * Place in an aquarium. * Use in steppingstones as decorations. * Put in the bottom of a foot bath to massage feet. — Heloise

DEAR ABBY: Lately I have been having problems with my live-in boyfriend, “Ethan.” We fight about everything, and he refuses to admit when he’s wrong. Ethan has been sleeping on the couch for a week waiting for me to take the first step and reconcile. He isn’t working and I am, and that is probably what has him so mad. I pay all the bills, and he thinks I feel superior because I’m bringing in money and he’s not. We argue day and night, swear and scream at each other, and he does not appreciate everything I’m doing so we can survive. I have two daughters, he has one, and I’m supporting all of us. Do you think it’s a good idea for us to have a baby? Ethan is desperate for a child with me — even though we can’t get along or communicate. — MARY JANE IN MASSACHUSETTS DEAR MARY JANE: Not only do I think it’s not a good idea, but I think it’s a terrible

Native as an authentic handicraft. In fact, Cooper said, the law only allows for coastal Arctic Natives to register ivory, and effort toward the craft in that region has lessened in recent years. “Old style” carving is distinguishable by the size of the piece and thickness of the etchings and lines, Cooper said. The large dog sleds done by Nome artists Mary and David Seppilu are good examples, he said. The color red was incorporated more often during that time period. Modern style results in

board, the Certified Direct-Entry Midwife Licensing Board, from its inception until her term limit was met in 2000. During that time, she “served as chair and helped craft the laws the govern CDM in Alaska today,” according to the JFHBC website. During that time, as a practicing midwife, Kanne founded what is now known as the Juneau Family Health and Birth Center based on feedback from her clients. “(As a midwife, I knew a) group of parents that really wanted to see a birth center in Juneau,” Kanne said. “So many women would really have liked to have a midwife, but didn’t feel comfortable having a home birth.” Acting as “volunteer architect, contractor and laborer,” Kanne and 70 volunteers built the original, nonprofit Juneau Birth Center in rented space in 1998. But as the need for expanding services became more apparent, Kanne began fundraising to build a new facility. “I raised the $3.9 million needed for this new facility over six years, while serving as executive director and midwife. Funding came from federal, state and city appropriations as well as foundations, businesses and individuals,” Kanne wrote on the National Association of Certified Professional Midwives website. The new facility opened in 2008 and took on the now familiar moniker, but with expanded services — ones that were not offered at the original Juneau Birth Center. “(We) expanded (our) vision to include healthcare and provide a lot more family services,” Kanne said of the new facility. Since the opening of the birth center in 1998, the center has seen 60 to 80 births per year, including home births and transports. Kanne alone has attended more than her fair share. “I have personally attended more than 1,000 births,” she said. “I lost count a few years ago when I hit 1,000. I should really go back through and check on that.” Though Kanne retired from the JFHBC, she will continue to be a part of the Juneau midwifery community, and continue to advocate for stronger regulations on the national level. “I’ll continue my education and stay a midwife,” Kanne said, “but I just can’t have a fulltime job. I was executive director, the birth center director, a midwife, I just couldn’t get it down to one job. I just need to let go of this job and do my own work . Starting a nonprofit so that I could eventually leave it and it would continue as part of the community has always been my vision.” Diana Rossmiller, a founding member of the JFHBC and former patient of Kanne, agreed that “what she has created has

smaller carvings with thin, delicate etchings, Cooper said. Price is a major factor in this trend, he said. If chunks of ivory are broken up that means more pieces that can be priced more reasonably, Cooper said. The mastodon tusk alone was recently appraised at $25,000, Murray said. And the dog sled teams would go for around $5,000. Kunkle recalls picking up the pieces while on trips to St. Lawrence Island, Homer, Seward, Kodiak, Anchorage and even nearby in Sterling. He remembers the people he bought them from as well. Teddy and Charles Pullock, R.B. Kokuluk, and Mary and David Seppilu contributed many of the pieces, Murray

said. Ivory is only the main material used in the collection. A large woolly mammoth molar sits untouched in the back of the display, its sharp ridges pointing outward, and two dark chestnut colored woven baleen baskets rise above the minute pieces surrounding them. Cream colored bowhead whales, harpoon wielding hooded hunters, and a foot-long walrus oosik, or penile bone, neighbor each other in the display. After relocating to Pennsylvania, earlier this year, where he grew up as a self proclaimed “farm boy,” Kunkle put the word out he would be willing to temporarily donate his stockpile. Murray said she jumped at the chance to house the col-

lection. It was relocated to the visitors center in January. Previously First National Bank and the Kenai Visitors Center had the collection on display. Five years ago Kunkle’s wife asked him to start selling off the pieces. After she died, he continued to collect. Six of his favorite pieces are on display in his farmhouse in Pennsylvania, including a rabbit carving, which is a reflection of his wife’s love of rabbit shaped figurines. Technically the collection belongs to his daughter; he recently sold it to her for $1, he said.

local law. “It doesn’t create any new regulations that impact the state’s ability to regulate and protect their waterways,” Capt. Jason Hamilton, staff judge advocate at the U.S. Coast Guard said at a hearing in Seattle last month. Many states such as Washington have passed additional requirements related to oil spills, including requiring that oil spills be reported immediately to state officials. “The Coast Guard’s view of existing law fails to respect

states’ rights, leaving states with little if any authority to exercise their historical police powers to protect the health and safety of their citizens,” several California state officials told the agency in a May letter. Environmental groups in Massachusetts, Washington and Alaska have raised concerns, but others say the proposal would bring needed clarity and predictability to maritime rules. Skip Volkle, vice president and general counsel of Seattle-

based Foss Maritime, the largest coastal tug and barge operator in the U.S., backed the Coast Guard’s position. He said his company operates vessels on a daily basis that travel up and down the West and East coasts. “We cannot engage in interstate commerce if every state gets to regulate what equipment has to be on our vessels, how long it has to be, how deep it can be, how wide it can be, what materials can be made,” he said at last month’s hearing.

grown so much bigger than her and has grown beyond her. I know that she will be missed in her position as a founding member and director, but I do think that the organization is really solid and will continue thriving in her absence.” Most of the midwives that continue to work at the JFHBC were students of Kanne. And while she may not be present, her knowledge and years of experience have been passed down to a new generation of midwives, most of which can attribute their career to her lifelong work. As for Kanne’s work in the future, she currently serves on several national boards, including the National Association for Certified Professional Midwives, an association that aims to create licensing in every state, where there are “probably 17 states that don’t license and there are midwives still going to jail for what they do,” Kanne said. She also serves as the trea-

‘She opened up the door to midwifery here.’ — Dawn Jouppi, former patient of midwife Kaye Kanne surer of the Commission for Accreditation of Birth Centers, to make accreditation a mandatory policy rather than a voluntary one. And the United States Midwifery Education, Regulation and Association, a group of midwives that “work toward the common goal toward national promotion of midwifery.” Including consulting businesses and helping midwives start birth center foundations. Dawn Jouppi, a former patient of Kanne’s who had all three of her children either at the birth center or using a midwife for a home birth, described Kanne as being “an asset to Juneau.” “She opened up the door to midwifery here,” Jouppi said.

In this June 3 Kay Kanne stands for a photo outside of the Juneau Family Health and Birth Center in Juneau. Kanne can be considered the mother of midwifery in Alaska. After practicing midwifery for three decades, attending more than 1,000 births and opening the JFHBC in Juneau, Kanne retired from the birth center in April.

“And we have a thriving community of midwives here that do great work all over Southeast. We have midwives that fly to help people in other communities, and people from other communities that fly here to give birth at the birthing center. So I think that says something, that people want to come here, and have that experience in Juneau. And not every community has that, not even in big cities sometimes, so we’re special.”

supply situation had actually worsened compared with 2006, as there had been no new drilling, but the Department of Homeland Security provided no explanation for its reasoning in changing its position on the waiver. Danny Davis, Escopeta’s colorful president, continued to work that year with the federal agency to secure the renewal of the exemption. Faced with drilling deadlines on the Kitchen Lights leases, Davis decided to take a chance that the exemption would come through. He loaded the rig on a Chinese heavy-lift ship and sailed for Alaska. By then U.S. shipping interests who defend the Jones Act had also swung into action, vigorously lobbying the federal administration against the exemption. By the time the ship and rig neared Alaska the exemption had not come through. The vessel diverted to Vancouver, B.C., and dropped off the rig and departed. The stop in Vancouver also allowed repair work to be done. The rest of the voyage to Alaska was by Foss Maritime tugs, which are U.S.-built and operated. The rig made it to Cook Inlet and began drilling what is now the Kitchen Lights discovery. Although the rig had stopped in a Canadian port for repairs, breaking its journey from the U.S. Gulf to Alaska, the Department of Homeland Security still asserted that a violation of the Jones Act had occurred and slapped the company with a $15 million fine. At that time, however, Davis was ousted as president by his investors, who reorganized the company as Furie and continued the exploration program. Furie has appealed the fine and the matter is still unresolved. Furie would not comment on the matter and a telephone inquiry by the Journal of the Department of Homeland Security was not returned.

doubt Shoal field on the Inlet’s west side. The company’s quest to drill and develop the Kitchen Lights prospect has had its ups and downs over several years. In exploring the prospects, Furie has also had to overcome challenges that have included skepticism by state agencies that the company would be able to pull off the project. Escopeta Oil and Gas, Furie’s predecessor company, has worked for almost a decade to raise funds and move a jackup rig to Cook Inlet to drill the Kitchen Lights prospect. The company had some bad breaks. In 2006, the initial financing to move the rig from the U.S. Gulf coast to Alaska fell through. In 2010, when the financing was put back together, the federal government denied a renewal of an exemption to the U.S. Jones Act that would allow Escopeta to use a foreign heavy-lift ship to move the rig. In a decision that smacked of politics, the federal government, by then headed by President Barak Obama, a Democrat, said there were no energy security issues in Cook Inlet that justified the Jones Act exemption, even though in 2010 a serious gas supply situation seemed to exist in Southcentral Alaska. The Jones Act requires all voyages between American ports to be conducted by U.S.built ships and manned by U.S. crews. In contrast, in 2006, the administration of Republican President George W. Bush granted the Jones Act exemption to bring the rig on a foreign ship on the grounds of regional energy security and national defense. Former U.S. Sen. Ted Stevens had provided assistance. Stevens was gone from the Senate by 2010, and the Tim Bradner can be reached national administration had changed. In 2010 the South- at tim.bradner@alaskajourcentral Alaska regional gas nal.com.
