ADFG issues broad restrictions for July By RASHAH McCHESNEY Peninsula Clarion

In a flurry of emergency orders and news releases Thursday the Alaska Deparment of Fish and Game announced ef-

forts to conserve king salmon by putting restrictions on personal-use fishing and inriver anglers — triggering restrictions for commercial fishers in the east side setnet fishery. Managers justified the re-

strictions with the explanation that Cook Inlet king salmon have continued to return in low numbers in recent years. The Kenai River has had below-average run strength since 2009, according to a Fish and

Game media release. On the Kenai River the laterun king salmon fishery, which opens Tuesday, will start with a prohibition on the use of bait in any sportfishery. A February emergency or-

JUNEAU, Alaska (AP) — Arguments are scheduled for July in Alaska’s ongoing legal fight over the closure of national wildlife refuges during the partial shutdown of the federal government last year. The lawsuit was filed in October, as Congress was poised to pass legislation to end the shutdown. It claimed the closure of refuge land during the shutdown violated provisions of the Alaska National Interest Lands Conservation Act. The lawsuit was later amended to add the Alaska Professional Hunters Association as plaintiffs. Attorneys for the plaintiffs claim the closures impaired the state’s ability to manage fish, wildlife and other resources and affected the ability of hunting guides to use their permits, costing them money. The attorneys, in a March filing, state that hunters association member Mike Munsey estimated that he lost about $16,500 as a direct result of the refuge closures because he had to cancel hunts. One of his affected clients had traveled from Australia. Munsey, according to the filing, expects that client and others will be more reluctant to book hunts with him and other Alaska guides “due to uncertainties created by this closure.” The attorneys claim that a loss of guided hunting opportunities by association members as a result of yet another shutdown “would impose economic losses of up to $6 million.”

Wildfire sparks interest in CERT By KAYLEE OSOWSKI Peninsula Clarion

The classmates took turns in pairs — a leader with a fire extinguisher at the ready and a buddy with a hand on the leader’s shoulder ready to help. They tested the extinguish-

er and then called, “Going in,” which each buddy echoed. Awkwardly they shuffled, which allows for better balance, toward a small fuel fire burning in a halved barrel. When they reached the optimum distance from the fire, the leaders aimed the hose at

the base of the flame, squeezed the handle of the extinguisher and swept the hose from side to side. After knocking down the fire, teams called, “Going out,” and backed away from the remaining white cloud. The participants, some of

whom had never used a fire extinguisher, were students in the Kenai Peninsula Borough’s Community Emergency Response Team course. On Wednesday, the class learned about fire safety and utility control with instructor See CERT, page A-13

In this July 2013 file photo Branden Bornemann, environmental scientists for the of the Kenai Watershed Forum, takes a water sample at the mouth of the Kenai River for an Alaska Department of Environmental Conservation and City of Kenai program that measures bacteria in the water in Kenai.

The Kenai Watershed Forum has been awarded a $96,000 grant to continue monitoring bacteria in the Kenai River. The 2014 monitoring program will also include tests on the Kasilof River and advances in microbial source tracking could allow researchers to pinpoint which contributing source causes the most bacteria to end up in the rivers. On the Kenai River common sources of bacteria include a large rookery — watershed forum researchers estimated be-

Obama seeks $500M to train, equip moderate rebels in Syria JULIE PACE AP White House Correspondent

WASHINGTON — With the conflicts in Syria and Iraq becoming increasingly intertwined against the same Sunni extremist group, President Barack Obama moved on Thursday to ratchet up U.S. efforts to strengthen more moderate Syr-

ian rebels. Obama’s request to Congress for $500 million in training and arms to the opposition in effect opens a second front in the fight against militants spilling over Syria’s border and threatening to overwhelm neighboring Iraq. The train-and-equip mission would be overseen by the Pentagon and would mark

a significant expansion of previous covert effort to arm the more moderate rebels who are fighting both the extremists and forces loyal to Syrian President Bashar Assad. Obama has long been reluctant to arm the opposition, in part because of concerns that weapons may fall into extremist hands. See SYRIA, page A-14 C

A few processing plants are finding themselves shorthanded as salmon catches increase around the state, but an item in pending U.S. Senate legislation could make it easier to fill vacant positions next summer. Sens.

A common and often-repeated maneuver on commercial fishing boats throughout Alaska involves reaching just below the head of a freshly caught fish into its gill slit, grabbing the gills and then bending and twisting the wrist to rip them out. It’s injurious to the fish, it’s supposed to be. But, for the people who do it thousands of times throughout the course of a fishing season, the repetitive movement can lead to carpal tunnel or tendonitis; injuries that could be avoided if indus-

Average temp in May warmest on record By SETH BORENSTEIN AP Science Writer

WASHINGTON — Driven by exceptionally warm ocean waters, Earth smashed a record for heat in May and is likely to keep on breaking high temperature marks, experts say. The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration Monday said May’s average temperature on Earth of 59.93 degrees Fahrenheit (15.54 degrees Celsius) beat the old record set four years ago. In April, the globe tied the 2010 record for that month. Records go back to 1880. May was especially hot in parts of Kazakhstan, Indonesia, Spain, South Korea and Australia, while the United States was not close to a record, just 1 de-

gree warmer than the 20th century average. However, California is having a record hot first five months of the year, a full 5 degrees above normal. Georgia Tech climate scientist Kim Cobb and other experts say there’s a good chance global heat records will keep falling, especially next year because an El Nino weather event is brewing on top of man-made global warming. An El Nino is a warming of the eastern tropical Pacific Ocean that alters climate worldwide and usually spikes global temperatures. Ocean temperatures in May also set a record for the

month. But an El Nino isn’t considered in effect till the warm water changes the air and that hasn’t happened yet, NOAA said. With the El Nino on top of higher temperatures from heattrapping greenhouse gases, “we will see temperature records fall all over the world,” wrote Pennsylvania State University climate scientist Michael Mann in an email May was 1.33 degrees (0.74 degrees Celsius) warmer than the 20th century world average. The last month that was cooler than normal was February 1985, marking 351 hotter than

average months in a row. This possibly could quiet people claiming global warming has stopped, but more importantly it “should remind everyone that global warming is a long-term trend,” Princeton University climate scientist Michael Oppenheimer said. Setting or tying monthly global heat records has happened frequently in recent years. The last global monthly cold record was set in December 1916.

Strong sockeye returns reason for optimism Two items in the news this week should

prove more than just a silver lining for everyone impacted by the sport and commercial fishing industries — which is just about everyone on the Kenai Peninsula. This week, the Alaska Department of Fish and Game opted to open the Kasilof portion of the commercial setnet fishery two days early in response to a strong return of sockeye salmon to the Kasilof River. On the heels of that announcement, Fish and Game issued an emergency order liberalizing bag and possession limits for sockeye on the upper Kenai and Russian rivers, as well as opening the sanctuary area at the confluence of the Russian and the Kenai to sockeye salmon fishing — also in response to a strong return. There’s even a little bit of good news coming out of the Kenai River king salmon fishery. While the Kenai River early run king salmon sport fishery remains closed and Fish and Game managers are taking a conservative approach to the late run, king salmon numbers have been better than expected and may even meet the lower end of the early run escapement goal. Even if you don’t fish, this is all good news, as those who do fish contribute to the local economy. Both the sport and commercial fishing industries generate employment opportunities. Fishermen of all types spend money chasing salmon — from equipment and gear to meals and lodging. That spending fuels the local economy all summer. Beyond our economy, strong salmon returns are what draw so many of us to the Kenai Peninsula, residents and visitors alike. Indeed, salmon runs have been sustaining people on the Peninsula for thousands of years. Whether you hook the fish yourself of pick up a fillet from a local market or processor, in one way or another, salmon on the table benefits us all.

Quotable “When you take those first steps, even if they’re hard, and even if there are politics sometimes, you start building momentum and you start mobilizing larger and larger communities. Every step makes a difference.” — President Barack Obama, appealing for patience and perseverance from environmental activists at an annual dinner of the League of Conservation Voters. “We’re seeing the demographic impact of two booms. The population in the Great Plains energy-boom states is becoming younger and more male as workers move in seeking employment in the oil and gas industry, while the U.S. as a whole continues to age as the youngest of the baby boom generation enter their 50s.” — Census Bureau Director John Thompson on new data showing the U.S. is still growing older, but the trend is reversing in the Great Plains, thanks to a liberal application of oil.

Iraq producing unusual Mideast dynamic By MATTHEW LEE AP Diplomatic Writer

AP News Analysis

WASHINGTON — Strange bedfellows, indeed. The Obama administration has found itself in a foreign policy and national security pickle of rare complexity with the apparent entry of Syria into the Iraq conflict on the side of the U.S.-backed government in Baghdad, as well as active Iranian military support for Iraqi Prime Minister Nouri al-Maliki. Washington already was toeing a delicate line with Shiite Iran, which the U.S. deems the world’s most active state sponsor of terrorism, over their common shortterm interest in turning back the advance of militant Sunni rebels in Iraq. Now, to its dismay, Syrian President Bashar Assad — regarded in Washington as a pariah who should be ousted — has joined the club with what U.S. and Iraqi officials say are airstrikes against the Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant in western Iraq. ISIL had been fighting Assad in Syria before turning its major focus to seizing large swaths of northern Iraq. Assad is being supported by Iran in his country’s own civil war with opposition forces, and a decision for Syria to hit ISIL on Iraqi soil is perhaps not surprising. While al-Maliki may not like Syrian attacks on Iraqi territory, “if it distracts the Islamic State from its trek toward Baghdad for a while, then they will welcome it,” said Robert Ford, former U.S. ambassador to Syria. But as Iraq’s other immediate neighbors — Jordan, Kuwait, Saudi Arabia and Turkey — bolster their defenses, the new fighting threatens to unravel a byzantine balance of Mideast alliances and enmities that the United States long has sought to manage. The U.S. is deploying 300 special forces to train and advise the Iraqi army and is conducting surveillance flights. Iran is also flying surveillance drones over Iraq in aid of al-Maliki’s government, and on Tuesday, Syrian planes killed 17 people in a strike in Iraq’s mainly Sunni Anbar province, according to U.S. and Iraqi of-

ficials. American and Iranian officials have had some direct discussions on the matter, though the administration has ruled out the prospect of direct military cooperation or coordination with Iran. However, amid widespread concern, notably among Sunni Arab states and Israel, about the convergence of U.S., Iranian and Syrian policies on ISIL, President Barack Obama’s national security team has scrambled to produce a consistent and coherent message to the region. Administration officials said intervention by Syria was not the way to stem the insurgents, who have taken control of several cities in northern and western Iraq. “We’ve made it clear to everyone in the region that we don’t need anything to take place that might exacerbate the sectarian divisions that are already at a heightened level of tension,” Secretary of State John Kerry said at a meeting of NATO foreign ministers in Brussels. “It’s already important that nothing take place that contributes to the extremism or could act as a flash point with respect to the sectarian divide.” Obama and his top aides have said repeatedly that the only way to resolve the crisis is for Iraqi leaders to come together and form a truly inclusive and representative government in which all three of the country’s main ethnic and religious groups — Sunni, Shiite and Kurd — have a voice. Yet, it remains unclear if al-Maliki is willing to allow such an administration to be formed, and as long as the crisis continues, Gulf Arab countries with their long and deep distrust of Iran in particular are watching Iraq with increasingly dire concern. Underscoring the urgency, Kerry, who traveled to Baghdad and the Kurdish city of Irbil this week, met in Paris on Thursday with the foreign ministers of Saudi Arabia, the United Arab Emirates and Jordan. “The move of ISIL concerns every sin-

gle country here,” Kerry said at the start of the meeting held at the U.S. ambassador’s residence in Paris. He said the talks with foreign ministers from Jordan, Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates also would touch on a “number of critical issues” — including negotiations about Iran’s nuclear program and the stalled peace effort between Israel and Palestinian authorities. Saudi Foreign Minister Prince Saud alFaisal called the discussions “of immense importance for our countries.” In another sign of how critical the situation has become, Kerry was also meeting in Paris with Lebanon’s prime minister and Israel’s foreign ministers. He will fly to Saudi Arabia on Friday to hold similar talks with King Abdullah. At the White House, spokesman Josh Earnest blamed Assad for the rise of the extremists and warned that Syrian intervention could make matters worse. “The solution to the threat confronting Iraq is not the intervention of the Assad regime,” he told reporters. “In fact, it’s the Assad regime and the terrible violence that they perpetrated against their own people that allowed ISIL to thrive in the first place. The solution to Iraq’s security challenge does not involve militias or the murderous Assad regime, but the strengthening of the Iraqi security forces to combat threats.” Karim Sadjipour, an Iran expert with the Carnegie Endowment for International Peace, said the situation in Iraq, coupled with ongoing U.S.-Iran nuclear negotiations, have produced a “bizarre dynamic” in which the United States and Saudi Arabia appear to be “allies but not friends” and the United States and Iran appear to be “friends but not allies.” The addition to the mix of Syria’s Assad is likely to further muddy the waters.

Bear with sweet tooth crashes kid’s party Bishop, 33, who was watching the spectacle from the kitchen behind closed glass doors. The bear enjoyed the red and green cupcake frosting while Bishop opened a door on the other side of the room that led to the backyard. The couple then yelled and “shooed” at the bear until it casually ambled out the door. “I think he was used to humans,” Merrill said, adding the bear did not act aggressively. “He was awfully calm,” Bishop added. The bear was only inside the house for about three to four minutes, but the incident didn’t end there, the couple says. It came around the back of the house and peered inside from the wooden porch in the backyard. “It was up by the window like, ‘I want more cupcakes,’” Bishop said. “He wanted back in, that’s for sure,” Merrill said. With guests expected to arrive any minute, Bishop called 911 at that point. Merrill, meanwhile, ran next door to borrow bear spray from the neighbors. It was only after Merrill sprayed the mace in its vicinity that the bear meandered into the woods.

By EMILY RUSSO MILLER Morris News Service - Alaska Juneau Empire

A black bear with a sweet tooth crashed a little kid’s birthday party on Saturday. Literally. The uninvited guest shimmied its way up onto the roof of a Starr Hill home, crashed through a skylight and landed in the middle of Alicia Bishop’s and Glenn Merrill’s living room, the homeowners say. “I was literally in the room, and I heard this cracking,” Merrill said in an interview Tuesday, referring to the sound of the skylight’s two layers of plexiglass creaking under the bear’s weight. “And the next thing you know, there’s this bear that, I mean, literally, fell right from (the skylight). It was like three feet away from me.” The 45-year-old dad, whose infant son Jackson was in the adjoining room at the time, locked eyes with the bear. They stared at each other in disbelief, he said. “I don’t know who was more stunned,” he said. “I think, both.” Invited guests of the twolegged kind had yet to arrive at their house but were expected any minute when the party crasher dropped in. Merrill and Bishop had been “running around in a mad dash” — grilling salmon and baking a birthday cake —as they made lastminute preparations for their son’s 1-year-old birthday party. Merrill reacted quickly. He hollered for his parents to take Jackson upstairs to safety and he ran into the adjacent room

and closed the door behind him. The dazed bear quickly recovered from its fall. It then calmly wandered over to the

living room table, replete with a spread of birthday treats, and helped itself to some lemon blueberry and peanut butter cupcakes.

“The bear walks over and puts its paws up on the table and starts licking his birthday cupcakes, and I’m just like, you’ve got to be kidding me,” said

The same bear? There’s no way to know for certain, but Alaska Department of Fish and Game Management Coordinator Ryan Scott believes it might be the same bear that walked inside an occupied home on Rawn Way above Gastineau Avenue that same day. The people at the home

called 911, and responding Juneau Police Department officers shot and killed the bear since it kept trying to re-enter the home. Scott said that incident happened about 30 minutes after the birthday party episode, and the two houses are in close proximity. The bear killed was a young male weighing about 180 pounds, which matches Merrill’s and Bishop’s description of the bear in their house, Scott said. “I believe it was likely the same bear,” he said in a phone interview. Scott and a colleague were actually at Starr Hill earlier that afternoon in response to a report that a bear had tried to access a garbage shed. Scott and his coworker had located the bear at the garbage enclosure and shooed it off into the woods. They lost sight of it after that. As they were driving back to the office, they received the phone call from JPD that a bear had broken into Merrill and Bishop’s home. It’s impossible to know if all three sightings on Saturday were the same bear, especially since there’s a lot of bears in that area. The Starr Hill neighborhood is located on the hillside of Mount Roberts. “It’s very common up against Mount Roberts,” Scott said. “That’s just a bear-y spot, lots of activity up there.” But Scott said he hadn’t received any reports of bears in the area since.

Denali guests, employees marooned by flooding C

DENALI NATIONAL PARK AND PRESERVE, Alaska (AP) — Officials have closed the only road that goes into Denali National Park and Preserve at the Eielson Visitor Center because of flooding and rock falls, marooning dozens of guests and employees. Overnight rains turned small streams into raging torrents Thursday morning, park spokeswoman Kris Fister said in a release. Flooding in the Kantishna area, near the end of the 92-mile road, prompted the road closure near Wonder Lake.

Then later Thursday, the road was closed at the Eielson Visitor Center because of falling rock at nearby Eielson Bluffs. The center is located at Mile 66, or about two-thirds of the way into the park. Some guests and employees at four private lodges in Kantishna and more than 12 park employees, were marooned at the western end of the park road. Fister said everyone is safe and accounted for. The Kantishna air strip is largely under water. Visitors will be taken out by helicopter

‘Everybody is in good spirits.’ — Matt Unterberger Operations manager at Skyline Lodge if the road remains impassable. About 60 guests at the Denali Backcountry Lodge on Moose Creek were evacuated Thursday after a foot of water got inside. They were taken by bus to Skyline Lodge. “Everybody is in good spirits,” Matt Unterberger, opera-

tions manager at Skyline Lodge, told the newspaper. “Everybody is patiently waiting for the road to get repaired.” Fister said it wasn’t immediately clear how long the road would be closed, and park service personnel were assessing the damage. She said road crews would

first attempt to repair the road in the Wonder Lake area. People camping at the Wonder Lake Campground were able to leave on a bus that was allowed in Thursday afternoon. Fister said some campers chose to remain at the campground on higher ground where there is no danger of flooding. More than 3 inches of rain

have fallen in the 6 million acre park, located between Anchorage and Fairbanks, on Wednesday and Thursday. Wonder Lake recorded 2.91 inches overnight. “That’s a lot of rain in that part of the world,” National Weather Service meteorologist Rick Thoman told the Fairbanks News-Miner. “That’s really extreme.”

Ruling limits president’s recess appointments By SAM HANANEL Associated Press

WASHINGTON — The Supreme Court on Thursday limited the president’s power to fill high-level administration posts with temporary appointments, ruling in favor of Senate Republicans in their partisan clash with President Barack Obama. But the justices stopped short of a more sweeping decision that would have effectively ended a president’s power to make recess appointments when the Senate takes a break. It was the high court’s first case involving the Constitution’s recess appointments clause, ending with a unanimous decision that Obama’s appointments to the National Labor Relations Board in 2012 without Senate confirmation were illegal. Obama had argued that the Senate was on an extended holiday break and that the brief sessions it held every three days — what lawmakers call “pro forma” — were a sham intended to prevent him from filling seats on the NLRB. Rejecting that argument, Justice Stephen Breyer said

‘The only remaining practical use for the recess-appointment power is the ignoble one of enabling presidents to circumvent the Senate’s role in the appointment process, which is precisely what happened here.’ — Justice Antonin Scaliasa in his majority opinion that the Senate is not in recess if lawmakers actually say they are in session and retain the power to conduct business. He said a congressional break has to last at least 10 days to be considered a recess under the Constitution. The impact of the decision may be less important since Senate Democrats changed the rules to make it harder for the chamber’s minority party — currently the GOP — to block Obama’s nominations. White House spokesman Josh Earnest said the administration disagreed with the court’s ruling. But he said that while the White House was reviewing the decision, “we’ll honor it.” The outcome was the least significant loss possible for the

administration. The lower court had gone further, ruling that the only recess recognized by the Constitution is the once-ayear break between sessions of Congress. It also said that only vacancies that arise during that recess could be filled. Justice Antonin Scalia, writing for himself, Chief Justice John Roberts and Justices Samuel Alito and Clarence Thomas, said he would have upheld the reasoning of the U.S. Court of Appeals for the D.C. Circuit. “The only remaining practical use for the recess-appointment power is the ignoble one of enabling presidents to circumvent the Senate’s role in the appointment process, which is precisely what happened here,” said Scalia, who took the unusual step of reading his con-

currence from the bench. The ruling’s impact may be keenly felt by the White House next year if Republicans capture control of the Senate in the November election. The potential importance of the ruling lies in the Senate’s ability to block the confirmation of judges and the leaders of independent agencies like the NLRB. Republican leaders in both houses of Congress, House Speaker John Boehner and Sen. Mitch McConnell, praised the court for rejecting what they described as Obama’s unconstitutional power grab. Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid said the decision underscores the importance of the Senate rule change to make sure that a small number of senators cannot block qualified nominees. Several hundred decisions

the NLRB made with the recess-appointed members will now have to be re-decided by the current board. However, the result in most cases is likely to be the same, given similar prolabor leanings of the current majority. Obama has made relatively few recess appointments — 32 in his five-plus years in office, according to the Congressional Research Service. President George W. Bush made 171 such appointments over two terms and President Bill Clinton filled 139 posts that way in his eight years in office. But Obama was the first president to try to make recess appointments when Congress explicitly said it was not in recess. The Constitution requires that the Senate and House must get the other’s consent for any break lasting longer than three days. At the end of 2011, the Republican-controlled House would not give the Democraticled Senate permission for a longer break. The partisan roles were reversed during Bush’s presidency, when Senate Democrats sought ways to prevent the president from making recess

appointments. In fact, the very basis on which the justices decided the case — that the Senate can use extremely brief sessions to avoid a formal recess — was a tactic devised by Reid to frustrate Bush. On a practical level, there may be little difference between how the court decided the case and the way Scalia wishes it had been decided, said Andy Pincus, a veteran Supreme Court lawyer in Washington. “The recess appointment power has receded into practical irrelevance,” Pincus said, pointing to the now-common Senate practice of blocking recess appointments by convening for pro forma sessions. “Today’s decision likely cements that reality.” A recess appointment can last no more than two years. Recess appointees who subsequently won Senate confirmation include Chief Justice Earl Warren and Justice William Brennan, Federal Reserve Chairman Alan Greenspan, two current NLRB members and Consumer Financial Protection Bureau director Richard Cordray.

FAA, developers clash over tall buildings near airports By JOAN LOWY Associated Press

WASHINGTON — The government wants to dramatically reduce the allowable height of potentially thousands buildings near airports around the country — a proposal that is drawing fire from real estate developers and members of Congress who say it will hurt property values. The Federal Aviation Administration proposal, supported by airports and airlines, is driven by encroaching development that limits safe flight paths for planes that might lose power in an engine during takeoff. Planes can fly with only one engine, but they have less power to climb quickly over obstacles. Local business leaders, who see airports as a means to at-

tract development, say they fear office towers and condominium complexes will have to be put on hold until developers and zoning boards can figure out what the agency’s proposal means for their communities. In Tempe, Arizona, for example, local Chamber of Commerce President Mary Ann Miller said she fears almost any new building in the city’s downtown would face new restrictions because the community is located near the edge of Phoenix Sky Harbor’s runways. “Coming out of a very long recession, we hate the idea of stopping some growth,” she said. But airlines have to plan for the possibility that a plane could lose the use of an engine during takeoff even though that doesn’t happen very often. As

more buildings, cellphone towers, wind turbines and other tall structures go up near airports, there are fewer safe flight paths available. Current regulations effectively limit building heights based on the amount of clearance needed by planes with two operating engines. Airlines already must sometimes cut down on the number of passengers and the amount of cargo carried by planes taking off from airports in Burbank and San Jose in California, and in Honolulu, Los Angeles, Miami, Phoenix, and near Washington, D.C., among others, so they will be light enough to clear obstructions if only one

engine is available, said Chris Oswald, vice president of the Airports Council InternationalNorth America. The problem is exacerbated in hot weather when air is less dense and planes require more power during takeoff. Bigger planes that carry lots of passengers and cargo on lucrative international flights are especially affected. Airports worry that the problem could cost airlines enough money that they’ll find some routes unprofitable and eliminate service, Oswald said. The FAA’s proposal would change the way the agency assesses proposals to build new

structures or modify existing structures near 388 airports to take into account the hazard that would be created to oneengine takeoffs. For example, under the proposal future buildings constructed 10,000 feet from the end of a runway and within a designated flight path would have a maximum allowable height of 160 feet instead of the current limit of 250 feet, according to an analysis by the Weitzman Group, a New York real estate consulting firm. As the distance from an airport increases, the allowable building height increases as well. The proposal could affect buildings

as far as 10 miles from an airport. Planes taking off usually follow one of about a half-dozen possible flight paths. To limit the number of buildings and other structures affected by the proposal, the FAA is recommending airports and local zoning boards work together to select a single flight path for each runway that planes can use in the event that an engine quits, said John Speckin, the FAA deputy regional administrator in charge of the proposal. The new height limits would only apply to structures in that path, he said.

FDA grapples with oversight of fecal transplants BY MATTHEW PERRONE AP Health Writer

WASHINGTON — Imagine a low-cost treatment for a lifethreatening infection that could cure up to 90 percent of patients with minimal side effects, often in a few days. It may sound like a miracle drug, but this cutting-edge treatment is profoundly simple — though somewhat icky: take the stool of healthy patients to cure those with hard-to-treat intestinal infections. A small but growing number of physicians have begun using these so-called fecal transplants to treat Clostridium difficile, commonly referred to as C-diff, a bacterial infection that causes nausea, cramping and diarrhea. The germ afflicts a half-million Americans annually and kills about 15,000 of them. But fecal transplants pose a challenge for the Food and Drug Administration, which has decided to regulate the treatment as an experimental drug. Stool transplants don’t fit neatly into the agency’s standard framework. And while regulators have shown flexibility in their approach, some critics say the mere presence of government oversight is discouraging many doctors from offering transplants. That’s led some patients to seek out questionable “do-ityourself” websites, forums and videos. Most researchers agree that the FDA’s concerns are warranted. Patients can contract HIV, hepatitis and other viruses

and parasites from fecal matter that is not properly screened. Additionally, there are no longterm studies on potential side effects of stool transplantation. FDA officials declined to be interviewed for this story, but said in a written response that the fecal transplantation “shows promise in treating C. difficile infection that has not been responsive to other therapies.” Indeed, with many patients no longer responding to potent antibiotics, fecal transplants have emerged as an effective therapy against drug-resistant strains of the C-diff superbug. The procedure works because the healthy bacteria found in donors’ feces can help fight off foreign infections. “We’re dealing with something that is pretty close to miraculous,” says Dr. Lawrence Brandt of New York’s Montefiore Medical Center, who has performed over 200 fecal transplants. Most products reviewed by the FDA spend years in testing before they are submitted to the agency, usually by large drug or medical device developers. Fecal transplants have followed a different path. In recent years, a handful of doctors have published small case studies on their use of stool to treat C-diff, with many reporting cure rates of about 90 percent. In January 2013, the New England Journal of Medicine published the first rigorous, head-to-head study showing that fecal transplants were superior to antibiotics for

‘We’re dealing with something that is pretty close to miraculous.’ — Dr. Lawrence Brandt, New York’s Montefiore Medical Center patients with recurring C-diff. The FDA announced last May that it would regulate stool transplants as an experimental drug, meaning doctors could only perform transplants under an FDA-approved research application. The so-called investigational new drug application must include detailed information on the drug to be tested, the study design and safeguards to protect patients. Assembling a single application can take months or years, even for large drugmakers. Doctors pushed back, saying the requirement would force them to turn away desperate patients. “FDA and some others are concerned about the long-term effects,” Brandt said. “But my point was these people are getting ready to die now. They are not going to survive long enough to develop the diseases you’re afraid they’re going to get.” A few weeks later, the FDA revised its position, saying it would not enforce the requirement for doctors treating patients with drug-resistant C-diff — provided donors are properly screened and patients are informed that fecal transplants are still experimental. But regulating stool samples

as a drug presents other challenges. While it’s easy to limit access to experimental drugs, everyone has access to stool. And with detailed instructions available on websites like thepowerofpoop.com, there’s nothing to stop patients from trying the procedure at home — especially if they can’t find a doctor to perform it. “Some of these patients are very desperate and they’re not going to take no for an answer,” says Dr. Michael Edmond of Virginia Commonwealth University, who has performed fecal transplants for patients who travel from as far away as Ohio. Catherine Duff of Carmel, Indiana, says she had no choice but to help herself. In April 2012, she was suffering through her seventh C-diff. infection, going to the bathroom 20 to 30 times a day and making multiple trips to the hospital due to dehydration. “My quality of life had gotten to the point where I was beginning to think that it might be better to die,” says Duff, 58. Duff asked three different physicians if she could try a fecal transplant, but none were willing to perform the procedure. Her gastroenterologist did

offer to test her husband’s stool to make sure it wasn’t contaminated. Using instructions found online, Duff and her husband created a solution from his stool sample, mixing it with saline in a blender and administering it via an enema bottle. Four hours later, Duff said she felt good enough to get up and go for a walk. Today, Duff runs a nonprofit group, the Fecal Transplant Foundation, which aims to raise awareness of the procedure and help patients. Duff says she gets up to 15 emails a day from patients looking for a doctor or a donor. Some even ask if they can use a stool sample from their infants or pets. Duff says the unresolved status of FDA’s oversight discourages more doctors from offering the treatment. “There are so many doctors who are suspicious that the FDA could change their mind at any given moment and decide to not exercise discretion,” Duff says. According to a list maintained by the foundation, only about 100 physicians offer fecal transplants in the U.S. There is no one method for performing the procedure. Some doctors liquefy the stool and drip it into the patient’s colon via colonoscopy. Others use a tube that runs from the nose down into the stomach. With so few providers available, proponents of stool transplantation have come up with innovative solutions. One big hurdle is the high cost of

screening a stool sample, which can run up to $1,500 per sample. Insurance typically doesn’t cover testing the stool sample because donors are usually healthy without signs of sickness. Since October 2013, a Boston-based “stool bank” has managed to bring costs down to about $250 per treatment by screening samples in bulk. To date, OpenBiome has shipped over 300 stool samples in readyto-use frozen preparations to 39 hospitals. But in March, the FDA released an updated proposal for regulating fecal transplants, saying doctors should only use stool from a donor who is “known” to either the patient or their physician. Some doctors and patients worried the proposal, if finalized, would shutter OpenBiome and a handful of other stool banks, which use anonymous donors and ship to providers hundreds of miles away. But OpenBiome founder, Mark Smith, says his group continues operating after having several productive discussions with the FDA. Smith says regulators have encouraged him to set up a formal study in which hospitals that work with OpenBiome will contribute data on the safety and effectiveness of fecal transplants. “They understand the importance of making treatment available for patients today, while making sure there is adequate oversight of the risks,” Smith says. “We’re actually totally on the same page.”

Oklahoma looks for answers on increasing number of earthquakes BY TIM TALLEY Associated Press

EDMOND, Okla. — Earthquakes that have shaken Oklahoma communities in recent months have damaged homes, alarmed residents and prompted lawmakers and regulators to investigate what’s behind the temblors — and what can be done to stop them. Hundreds of people are expected to turn out in Edmond, Oklahoma, on Thursday night for a town hall meeting on the issue. Earthquakes used to be almost unheard of on the vast stretches of prairie that unfold across Texas, Kansas and Oklahoma, but they’ve become common in recent years.

Oklahoma recorded nearly 150 between January and the start of May. Most recently, the U.S. Geological Survey recorded a magnitude 3.6 earthquake southwest of Guthrie early Thursday morning. Though most have been too weak to cause serious damage or endanger lives, they’ve raised suspicions that the shaking might be connected to the oil and gas drilling method known as hydraulic fracturing, especially the wells in which the industry disposes of its wastewater. Now after years of being harangued by anxious residents, governments in all three states are confronting the issue, reviewing scientific data, holding public discussions and con-

sidering new regulations. The states are trying to reconcile the scientific data with the interests of their citizens and the oil and gas industry. Oklahoma state Rep. Jason Murphey, a Guthrie Republican, said though the damage from quakes hasn’t been serious, it’s still a big problem for his constituents. He said residents have reported cracks in interior and exterior walls, doors that no longer close properly, trim that is separating and even foundation problems. “Those types of reports are becoming commonplace,” Murphey said. Murphey said many of his constituents believe there’s a relationship between the earthquakes and injection wells that

are used to dispose of wastewater from oil and natural gas drilling operations. Austin Holland, a research seismologist with the Oklahoma Geological Survey, said the agency is closely monitoring the area’s seismic activity to determine whether the earthquakes are a natural phenomenon or are man-made. “It’s one thing to have suspicions. It’s another thing to demonstrate that scientifically,” Holland said. “We have a lot of faults in Oklahoma.” Seismologists already know that hydraulic fracturing — which involves blasting water, sand and chemicals deep into underground rock formations to free oil and gas — can cause microquakes that are rarely

strong enough to register on monitoring equipment. However, fracking also generates vast amounts of wastewater, far more than traditional drilling methods. The water is pumped into so-called injection wells, which send the waste thousands of feet underground. No one knows for certain exactly what happens to the liquids after that. Scientists wonder whether they could trigger quakes by increasing underground pressures and lubricating faults. Another concern is whether injection well operators could be pumping either too much water into the ground or pumping it at exceedingly high pressures. Matt Skinner, a spokesman for the Oklahoma Corporation

Commission, which regulates the oil and gas industry in the state, said the agency is monitoring the activity of every injection well in a seismically active area. “We’re looking for anomalies,” Skinner said. “This is not an abstract exercise in policymaking. The reason that we’re all here is that it’s frightening.” In Texas, residents from Azle, a town northwest of Fort Worth, who have endured hundreds of small quakes, went to the state Capitol earlier this year to demand action by the state’s chief oil and gas regulator, known as the Railroad Commission. The commission hired the first state seismologist, and lawmakers formed the House Subcommittee on Seismic Activity.

Iraqi Shiites pushing for al-Maliki’s removal By HAMZA HENDAWI and QASSIM ABDUL-ZAHRA Associated Press Writers

BAGHDAD — Prominent Shiite leaders pushed Thursday for the removal of Iraqi Prime Minister Nouri al-Maliki as parliament prepared to start work next week on putting together a new government, under intense U.S. pressure to rapidly form a united front against an unrelenting Sunni insurgent onslaught. Increasingly, the Shiite alMaliki’s former allies believe he cannot lead an inclusive government that can draw minority Sunnis away from support for the fighters who have swept over a large swath of Iraq as they head toward the capital, Baghdad. In a further sign of Iraq’s unraveling along sectarian lines, a bombing on Thursday killed 12 people in a Shiite neighborhood of Baghdad that houses a revered shrine, and police found the bullet-riddled bodies of eight Sunnis south of the capital. Most crucially, though, backing for al-Maliki is weakening with his most important ally, neighboring Iran. A senior Iranian general who met with Shiite politicians in Iraq during a 10-day visit this month returned home with a list of potential prime minister candidates for Iran’s leadership to consider, several senior Iraqi Shiite politicians who have knowledge of the general’s meetings told The Associated Press. Iran’s supreme leader, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, wants alMaliki to remain in his post, at least for now, the politicians said, but Iran’s moderate president, Hassan Rouhani, believes al-Maliki must go or else Iraq will fragment. Khamenei holds final say in all state matters in Iran, but the politicians expressed doubt he would insist on al-Maliki against overwhelming rejection of him by

In this June 20 file photo, an Iraqi woman living in Iran holds a poster of the Grand Ayatollah Ali al-Sistani, Iraq’s top Shiite cleric, in a demonstration against Sunni militants of the al-Qaida-inspired Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant, or ISIL, and to support Ayatollah al-Sistani, in Tehran, Iran.

Iraq’s Shiite parties. The general, Ghasem Soleimani, is expected to return within days to inform Iraqi politicians of Tehran’s favorite, they said, speaking on condition of anonymity to discuss the internal deliberations. Iran’s Shiite cleric-led government succeeded in herding reluctant Shiite parties into backing al-Maliki for a second term four years ago, and its leverage over Iraq’s Shiite political establishment has grown significantly since the 2011 withdrawal of U.S. troops after an eight-year presence. None-Arab and mostly Shiite, Iran has found in majority Shiite Iraq a convenient vehicle to extend its sphere of regional influence to the heart of the Middle East. Iran’s leverage in Iraq also gives it a trump card against its Sunni rivals in the Gulf region, where powerhouse Saudi Arabia, for example, has traditionally viewed Tehran with suspicion. The United States and its allies are pushing for the creation of a government that can draw support among Iraq’s Sunni mi-

nority, which has been alienated by al-Maliki, seen as a fiercely partisan Shiite. British Foreign Secretary William Hague, meeting with al-Maliki in Baghdad on Thursday, told a news conference that “we believe the urgent priority must be to form an inclusive government ... that can command the support of all Iraqis and work to stop terrorists and their terrible crimes.” Hague’s trip follows a visit by U.S Secretary of State John Kerry, who earlier this week delivered a similar message. Kerry met in Paris on Thursday with foreign ministers from America’s top Sunni Arab allies to consider how to confront the al-Qaida breakaway group leading the Sunni insurgent offensive, the Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant. The threat “concerns every single country here,” Kerry told them at the start of the meeting, held at the U.S. ambassador’s residence. The Arab diplomats did not commit to sending any military assistance to Baghdad, as the U.S. is doing. The Pentagon said Thursday that four

teams of Army special forces have arrived in Baghdad, bringing the number of American troops there to 90 out of the 300 promised by President Barack Obama. The Americans will advise and assist Iraqi counterterrorism forces. The Obama administration hopes that Iraq’s Sunni neighbors — notably Jordan and Saudi Arabia — will use their cross-border tribal networks to bolster the Sunni militias helping to fight the Islamic State. However, while they feel threatened by the Islamic State, those Sunni countries are also bitterly opposed to al-Maliki, saying his Shiite-dominated rule has marginalized Iraq’s Sunnis. So far, al-Maliki has defied calls to step aside. In April elections, his State of the Law bloc won the largest proportion in parliament — 92 seats in the 328-member chamber — but that is not enough for the simple majority needed to name him prime minister. He no longer has the support of his former Shiite, Kurdish and Sunni allies in his previous coalition. “We need a government of national consensus. Now, who do you think will not be able to achieve consensus?” said Baleigh Abu Qolal, spokesman for a major Shiite party, the Iranian-backed Supreme Islamic Iraqi Council. Compounding the pressure on al-Maliki, a prominent Shiite cleric, Muqtada al-Sadr, called in a televised statement late Wednesday for a national unity government of “new faces” representing all groups. Al-Sadr, whose followers fought fiercely against both U.S. forces and Sunni extremists during the height of the war nearly a decade ago, also vowed to “shake the ground” under the feet of the Sunni insurgents, who have threatened to advance toward Baghdad and holy Shi-

ite cities in the south. Also, Iraq’s most revered and influential Shiite cleric, Grand Ayatollah Ali al-Sistani, appealed to al-Maliki through an intermediary to step aside because he fears al-Maliki is driving Iraq into fragmentation, according to a senior member of a prominent Shiite family that has for decades maintained regular contact with al-Sistani. “Al-Sistani is in his 80s and if there is one thing he does not want to see in his lifetime, it is an Iraq breaking up into Sunni, Shiite and Kurdish enclaves,” the senior family member told the AP. Al-Sistani, believed to be 86, lives in the Shiite holy city of Najaf, south of Baghdad, where he rarely ventures out of his modest house. But his voice is powerful: His call to arms last week prompted tens of thousands of Shiites to volunteer to fight against the Sunni militants. Notably, Soleimani, the Iranian general, met for two hours with al-Sistani’s powerful son, Mohammed Reda, in Najaf, the Shiite politicians said. The list of potential candidates that Soleimani is carrying includes Adel Abdul-Mahdi, a French-educated economist who has served as vice president; Bayan Jabr, a former finance and interior minister under al-Maliki; and former prime minister Ibrahim al-Jaafari, the politicians said. But al-Maliki may insist that, if he goes, another figure from his State of the Law bloc get the post, giving him a continuing influence, they said. The United States is pressing for parliament to act quickly on forming the new government, a process that took nine months in 2010. “Our concern will increase with every passing day” that the timetable is not met, a senior State Department official said, speaking on condition of

anonymity because of the sensitivity of discussions over the Iraqi political process. Iraq’s vice president called on the new parliament to convene Tuesday, when, under the constitution, its first step will be to elect a speaker. It then has 30 days to elect a new president, replacing ailing Kurdish politician Jalal Talabani, who has held the post for two terms and is ineligible for another. The president’s job will likely go to Kurdish politician Barham Saleh, a former deputy prime minister. The president will have 15 days to mandate the head of parliament’s largest bloc to form a new government. That prime minister-designate will then have 30 days to put together a coalition. With Iraq’s bitterly divided sects focused on self-interests, the country’s top Kurdish leader, Massoud Barzani, vowed Thursday to maintain control of the oil-rich city of Kirkuk, seized by Kurdish forces, ostensibly to defend it from the Islamic State fighters. “We will remain here together in Kirkuk,” Barzani declared during a tour of the city, which the Kurds have long sought to incorporate into their self-rule region. The frequent discovery in recent weeks of bullet-riddled bodies dumped on the streets has raised the specter of a return of sectarian warfare. On Thursday, authorities found eight men believed to be Sunnis in their 30s and 40s who had been shot to death in Mahmoudiya, a volatile town about 20 miles (30 kilometers) south of Bagdad, police and hospital officials said. Then, shortly before sunset, a bomb exploded near a clothing shop in Baghdad’s northern Shiite neighborhood of Kazimiyah, killing 12 people and wounding 32, authorities said.

Death toll rises in southern Afghanistan battle By MIRWAIS KHAN and AMIR SHAH Associated Press

KANDAHAR, Afghanistan — The death toll from a week of fighting between Afghan forces and hundreds of Taliban militants in a southern province rose above 100, officials said Thursday, while the U.N. called on all parties to protect civilians who are increasingly caught in the crossfire. The battle is shaping up as a major test of the government’s ability to maintain security in volatile areas after foreign combat troops leave by the end of 2014, increasing the urgency for the government to sign a security pact with the United States that would allow nearly 10,000 American forces to stay in the country for two more years. Outgoing President Hamid Karzai has refused to sign the deal, saying he would leave it to his successor after results are announced in the recent presidential election. Both candidates vying to replace Karzai,

who is constitutionally barred from a third term, have promised to sign the pact. But the process has been stalled by fraud allegation in the June 14 runoff vote pitting former foreign minister Abdullah Abdullah against former finance minister and World Bank official Ashraf Ghani Ahmadzai. The government has deployed nearly 2,000 reinforcements since the Taliban offensive against checkpoints and government buildings in Helmand province began on Sunday. The provincial governor, Mohammad Naeem Baloch, accused the Pakistani army of orchestrating the assault that began in Helmand’s Sangin province and spread. Afghan authorities frequently blame neighboring Pakistan of fomenting violence and backing Taliban attacks in the wartorn country. Baloch said at least 135 people have been killed, including 30 policemen, 35 civilians and 70 Taliban fighters, since the start of the fighting. He also

‘All parties to the conflict are obliged to take all feasible precautions to protect civilians during military operation.’ — Jan Kubis, chief U.N. envoy in Afghanistan said 25 Afghan soldiers were killed or wounded, although he did not provide a breakdown. “We are launching an operation to clear the area and very soon this area will be cleaned again,” he told reporters. An American soldier also was killed in an attack by enemy forces Wednesday in southern Afghanistan. The U.S.-led international coalition said provided no other details in its statement. But a U.S. official, speaking on condition of anonymity in exchange for releasing the information ahead of an official announcement, confirmed the soldier’s nationality. The death brought to 11 the number of NATO service members killed so far this month, with eight of the fatalities being American. So far this

year, 40 NATO troops have died in Afghanistan, including 29 Americans, according to an Associated Press tally. The U.N. mission in Afghanistan said it was “deeply concerned” about the rising number of civilian deaths and injuries in Helmand province. It said it has documented at least 30 civilians killed and 35 others wounded in the district of Sangin alone. Citing health authorities, victims and witnesses it said the casualties were largely due to mortar strikes on civilian homes and civilians caught in cross fire and roadside bombings. “All parties to the conflict are obliged to take all feasible precautions to protect civilians during military operations,” the chief U.N. envoy in Afghani-

stan Jan Kubis said in a statement. The Taliban have launched their annual spring offensive, promising to step up attacks against Afghan security forces in a bid to undermine the Western-backed government as foreign combat troops prepare to withdraw from the country by the end of the year. The clashes in Helmand have special significance because the province was touted as a showcase of a major U.S. military offensive to drive out the militants in 2009. The fighting also comes less than two months after U.S. Marines left their posts in Sangin district on May 5. The U.S.-led coalition said Wednesday that it was providing support to the Afghan national security forces in the area, including helicopter escorts for medical evacuations,

intelligence, surveillance and reconnaissance assets and close air support. In political developments, Ahmadzai reiterated during a press conference Thursday in Kabul that he would sign the bilateral security agreement “so we can secure help for our security forces.” Abdullah has accused electoral officials of engineering fraud and suspended his participation with the Independent Election Commission. Ahmadzai has called on him to rejoin the process and allow initial results to be released on July 2 in compliance with the IEC’s official timetable. Final results are due on July 22 and the inauguration of the new leader was scheduled for Aug. 2. Abdullah’s supporters rallied in Kabul on Thursday, waving flags and chanting slogans against fraud.

Thousands flee Ukraine for Russia

Around the World Huge advances nationwide for gay marriage in eventful year after Supreme Court rulings

By BALINT SZLANKO Associated Press

One year ago, the U.S. Supreme Court issued a pair of landmark rulings, one striking down the statute that denied federal recognition to same-sex marriages and the other clearing the way for gay couples to wed legally in California. In the 12 months since then, the ripple effects of those rulings have transformed the national debate over same-sex marriage, convincing many people on both sides that its spread nationwide is inevitable. From the East Coast to the Midwest and the Pacific, seven more states legalized same-sex marriage, boosting the total to 19, plus Washington, D.C. The Obama administration moved vigorously to extend federal benefits to married gay couples. And in 17 consecutive court decisions, federal and state judges have upheld the right of gays to marry. Not a single ruling has gone the other way.

IZVARYNE, Ukraine — As a shaky cease-fire in the east entered its final hours Thursday, thousands of Ukrainians in cars stuffed with belongings lined up at the border to cross into Russia, some vowing never to return. Many said they were most frightened for their children and desperate to take them to safety. A commander at the rebelcontrolled border post outside the city of Luhansk said 5,000 people had left by evening, joining a stream that he said has continued unabated during the weeklong truce that has failed to end the gunfire and shelling. Russia says tens of thousands of Ukrainians have come in the 2 1/2 months since Ukraine’s government began fighting separatists in the east, a heavily industrial region with a large population of ethnic Russians, many of whom feel strong ties to Moscow. Air strikes and artillery attacks by the Ukrainian military have infuriated many residents, and many crossing the border on Thursday said they were fleeing the fighting, which has killed more than 400 people since mid-April by the United Nations’ estimate.

Food service contractor Sodexo backtracks after bumping thousands from health plan WASHINGTON — A giant food service company unexpectedly reversed course Thursday after bumping thousands of college cafeteria workers from its health plan earlier this year and pointing a finger at President Barack Obama’s overhaul. Sodexo’s experience could serve as a cautionary tale for other employers trying to pin benefit reductions on “Obamacare.” The company’s cutbacks fueled a union organizing drive and campus protests. Julie Peterson, Sodexo’s vice president for benefits, said the company will make changes for next year to restore eligibility for many of those affected. “We think that overall this is going to result in about the same number of employees being eligible as in the past,” Peterson said. The latest shift grew out of a regular review of company policy, she added. “We’ve realized we can change the way we are determining eligibility and still remain competitive in the market,” Peterson explained.

Passwords got you down? Solutions are out there — @nd D0n’t h@ve to l**k L!kE th1s! CHICAGO — Good thing she doesn’t need a password to get into heaven. That’s what Donna Spinner often mutters when she tries to remember the growing list of letter-numberand-symbol codes she’s had to create to access her various online accounts. “At my age, it just gets too confusing,” says the 72-yearold grandmother who lives outside Decatur, Illinois. But this is far from just a senior moment. Frustration over passwords is as common across the age brackets as the little reminder notes on which people often write them. “We are in the midst of an era I call the ‘tyranny of the password,’” says Thomas Way, a computer science professor at Villanova University. “We’re due for a revolution.”

Court strikes down 35-foot protest-free zones outside Massachusetts abortion clinics

A-9

WASHINGTON — The Supreme Court unanimously struck down the 35-foot protest-free zone outside abortion clinics in Massachusetts Thursday, declaring it an unconstitutional restraint on the free-speech rights of protesters. Authorities have less intrusive ways to deal with potential confrontations or other problems that can arise outside clinics, Chief Justice John Roberts wrote. Roberts noted that most of the problems reported by police and the clinics in Massachusetts occurred outside a single Planned Parenthood facility in Boston, and only on Saturdays when the largest crowds typically gather. “For a problem shown to arise only once a week in one city at one clinic, creating 35-foot buffer zones at every clinic across the Commonwealth is hardly a narrowly tailored solution,” Roberts said. He wrote the majority opinion after asking no questions — exceedingly rare for him — at the argument in January. Roberts noted that no other state has a similar law and that he is aware of only five cities that have created fixed buffer zones around abortion clinics: Burlington, Vermont; Pittsburgh; Portland, Maine, and San Francisco and Santa Barbara in California. The ruling also left intact a high court decision from 2000 that upheld a floating buffer zone in Colorado.

15 years after landmark ruling, progress to home care for aged, disabled is checkered Brent Kaderli has a wheelchair-accessible van waiting in the driveway, a hospital bed in a spare bedroom and an electric lift that’s left unused. If the 30-year-old quadriplegic had his way, he’d be living here, in his father’s house, with help from aides. Instead, he is in an institution, hoping each day for a place that feels more like a home. Fifteen years after a landmark Supreme Court ruling that the disabled should be given the choice to live outside nursing homes, mental hospitals and other institutions, its legacies are dueling. Progress has been made in every state to keep more aged and disabled people in their homes and communities, but only half of Medicaid spending goes to such care, with the services routinely denied by a system that favors institutions even though they’re typically more expensive to taxpayers. Kaderli said Medicaid approved him for only three hours of at-home daily care, but he’d need at least six to get by while his father is at work. So he lives in a nursing home in Pasadena, Texas. “It sucks and it’s sad and it’s depressing,” said Kaderli, who was paralyzed in a 2006 car crash.

‘It is critical for Russia to show in the next hours, literally, that they’re moving to help disarm the separatists, to encourage them to disarm.’ — U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry Those who talked to Associated Press journalists, however, said nothing to indicate that they supported the armed separatists, who have seized government buildings, declared independence and asked Russia to annex the region. With the cease-fire set to expire on Friday, Ukrainian President Petro Poroshenko called on Russia to support his peace plan “with deeds, not words.” He urged Moscow to stop the flow of fighters from Russia. German Chancellor Angela Merkel and U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry said they, too, were looking for more action from Moscow ahead of a summit on Friday of European Union leaders, who will be considering a new round of sanctions against Russia. “It is critical for Russia to show in the next hours, literally, that they’re moving to help disarm the separatists, to encourage them to disarm,” Kerry said in Paris.

The summit also will see Ukraine sign a sweeping trade agreement with the EU that will bind it more closely to the West. Russian President Vladimir Putin has urged Poroshenko to extend the truce and hold talks with the separatists in the eastern Donetsk and Luhansk regions. Poroshenko announced Thursday that representatives of the mutinous regions have agreed to talks with Russian, Ukrainian and European envoys. It will be the second round of talks since Monday in which the rebel leaders have participated. Russian news agencies quoted Andrei Purgin, a leader of the self-proclaimed Donetsk People’s Republic, as saying the next round would be held Friday in Donetsk. Poroshenko has shown no willingness to extend the ceasefire, and his next step may hinge on the outcome of the talks.

It was unclear how many Ukrainians will end up settling in Russia. Russia’s migration service said last week that it had registered the arrival of 90,000 Ukrainians, but few asked for refugee status, which would oblige them to stay in Russia at least six months. Many of those at the Izvaryne crossing on Thursday were taking household items, including refrigerators. One family from a village near Slovyansk, a separatist stronghold that has come under frequent shelling from the military, said they “hated Ukraine” and would not return. The rebel commander, who would give only his first name, Alexander, said the flow of refugees increased whenever there was a spike in hostilities. The day before the cease-fire was announced, the line to cross the border stretched for 5 kilometers (3 miles). Even though some rebel groups agreed to observe the cease-fire, Poroshenko said 18 government troops have been killed this week. Separatist leaders also have reported deaths among rebel fighters. Meanwhile, Germany announced that it is easing its immigration restrictions for Jews from Ukraine because of reports of an increase in antiSemitic incidents since the crisis broke out.

Britain’s Cameron isolated in EU leader search By JUERGEN BAETZ and GEIR MOULSON Associated Press

BRUSSELS — Many political battles are ugly — but toss in 28 nations, high unemployment, angry voters and a skeptical Britain and the fight over who will be the European Union’s next chief executive may have profound consequences. Britain’s Prime Minister David Cameron has set himself up for a stinging defeat as his vocal campaign to block the front-runner for the top EU job, former Luxembourg prime minister and longtime Brussels insider Jean-Claude Juncker, fails to gain traction. Many fear that an increasingly isolated Britain could even choose to leave the bloc embracing 500 million people — something that has never happened in the EU’s history. At their summit Friday, the bloc’s leaders are set to nominate Juncker as the next president of the European Commission, the EU’s powerful executive arm, which is in charge of drafting legislation, overseeing countries’ budgets and policing the EU’s single market. “They are about to take what I think is the wrong step,” Cameron said Thursday. “I will stick to my guns, I will stick to my principles, I will insist on that

vote.” Cameron views the EU “too big, too bossy and too interfering” and sought to block Juncker, whom he sees as the embodiment of a pro-integration, consensus-favoring, empirebuilding Brussels clique that won’t return power to member nations. Cameron says the strong results last month for euroskeptic and anti-immigration parties in European Parliament elections in several EU countries, including France and Britain, were a wake-up call that the bloc “must either change or accept further decline.” However, his anti-Juncker campaign has backfired, raising pressure on a leader who already has pledged to hold a referendum on whether Britain should stay in the EU and who faces strong competition from a rising anti-EU party. “Cameron has maneuvered himself into a corner,” said Fabian Zuleeg, head of the European Policy Centre, a Brusselsbased think-tank. “His strategy hasn’t worked and it has added to the process of alienation between the United Kingdom and the rest of the European Union.” A key figure in the battle has been German Chancellor Angela Merkel. Following the European elections, in which the 59-year-old Juncker was the top candidate for the center-right

bloc that finished first, Merkel initially said the EU’s agenda could be implemented “by him but also by many others.” That perceived lack of commitment to her fellow conservative, however, prompted a barrage of criticism at home — so Merkel then threw her weight firmly behind Juncker. Europe’s center-left leaders, led by French President Francois Hollande, followed suit last week, hoping to get other top EU jobs in return. “The message to British politicians is that EU member states ... would rather risk pushing Britain out of the EU than cause some temporary problems for Merkel,” said Simon Tilford of the Center for European Reform, a British think tank. “It has given a brutal demonstration of where power lies in Europe.” Britain had been hoping for support from Germany, the EU’s most populous and economically powerful member, to block Juncker. Merkel has spoken out passionately for Britain staying in the EU — Britain has been a useful German ally in promoting trade and budget discipline — but isn’t budging on Juncker.

No EU commission chief has so far been appointed against the expressed will of a major member state. Cameron is demanding a formal vote Friday on Juncker to document his opposition — although the only other leader who has hinted at joining him is Hungary’s Viktor Orban. Merkel has shrugged off the prospect of not reaching unanimity, saying it “would not be a drama.” She has also tried to soothe Britain by vaguely hinting that London’s quest for EU reforms would be taken into account. To hand Britain an olive branch, leaders might grant London an important portfolio in the Commission, such as trade. Still, analysts say Cameron’s assertive public campaign against Juncker means Britain could get short-changed. “Had he played it with more flexibility, he could have achieved a lot more for concessions for Britain,” said Jan Techau, the director of the Brussels-based think tank Carnegie Europe. “But there was a point of no return when he staked his entire credibility on preventing Juncker.”

A thank-you note to remember

aped to the door of our refrigerator, surrounded by pictures of great-grandchildren, a brief quote of business coach, Wanda Loscot, gives this good advice to all who pass by: “It takes about three minutes to write a thank-you note, fold it, stick it in an envelope and mail it, but the power of it is awesome.” Fred Suffield agrees. Fred had been sound asleep when he suddenly awoke to the sound of someone pounding on his door. Moments later he stood face to face with a half-frozen man who frantically told him that a train had become stalled in a snow storm and that the passengers were in danger of freezing to death. Lighting a lantern, Fred followed the messenger to the site of the stalled train and led the travelers to his house

During their years together, Fred and Kittie wrote a song titled “Little Is Much When God Is in It,” a tune that was destined to be widely known. Why did they choose this title? Perhaps they had been thinking about a Canadian blizzard that stopped a train and brought Kittie to Fred’s little house. Maybe it was the memory of a little thank-you note that started communication between them, leading to love and marriage. Possibly it reminded them of a nervous teen who overcame embarrassment and surrendered his talent to God, enabling him to reach millions with his message. Whatever the reason for the title Fred and Kittie chose for their common sense musical creation, it states a principle that will always be true:

gifts, talents or time given to the Lord bring greater blessings than the giver could have imagined. You may think your talents are small, or that you have none at all. Give what you have to God and discover the song Fred and Kittie wrote is true. And note this: The brief thankyou note Kittie wrote to Fred revealed she had a thankful heart and this discovery captured his. Then together they learned an important lesson: God often gives songs in the night, after the storms are through (Job 35:10).

. . . Visa Continued from page A-1

The J-1 visa program grants temporary visas to foreign students interested in working, and traveling, in America. Alaska’s seafood processors were removed from the program in 2013, but language would allow them to participate once again. The bill still must pass the Senate, and then go to the House, before the program is reinstated. Participating students typically apply through a nonprofit that is expected to coordinate housing and job placements, and the students often work in locations where a rural location or seasonal workload makes hiring locally or domestically difficult. According to Alaska Department of Labor estimates, about 25,000 individuals are hired by the seafood processing industry each year. In 2011 and 2012, approximately 70 percent of the workforce came from outside of Alaska. Pacific Seafood Processing Association Vice President

Michael “Huck” Huckabay, who has 25 years of fire service experience. After learning about CERT members’ roles in when it comes to fires and different utility setups, the students put their new knowledge to practice at Central Emergency Services Station 2 on Mackey Lake Road. While the CERT course covers a variety of topics from disaster preparedness to medical to light search and rescue, a few of the students chose to take the course because of the Funny River Horse Trail wildfire. “With the recent fire, I want to be more prepared and help keep the community safe,” said 15-year-old Jackson Blackwell of Soldotna. Wednesday was only the second class of the summer course in Soldotna, but Blackwell said the classes have been really interesting so far. Delayna Baczkowski of Soldotna was out of town during the peak of the Funny River

Dennis Phelan estimated Alaska processors will operate with about 300 to 500 fewer workers than would be ideal this summer. A smaller workforce means the plants operate more slowly, and sometimes have to put fishers on limits, capping the amount of fish they can deliver at a time, Phelan said. That’s less efficient for both the processors and the fishing fleet, he said. Phelan said at its peak, the industry probably employed about 4,000 foreign students through the J-1 program. While the industry would prefer to hire Alaskans and Americans, sometimes it is isn’t possible, he said. “If we had the option of doing full staffing of the plants from workers in the U.S., that is obviously our preference,” Phelan said. But working in a seafood plant — even with the added intrigue of coming to Alaska — doesn’t appeal to very many college students in the U.S. anymore, Phelan said, although it used to. So companies more often turned to foreign students, who are interested in spending

a summer in an Alaska processing facility. “Alaska’s seafood processors have been having difficulty hiring the workers they need during peak summer seasons, since the J-1 program was shut down two years ago,” Murkowski said in a formal statement. “Seafood processors from Naknek to Kodiak to Ketchikan rely on this program when they cannot hire Alaskans or workers from the Lower 48, so I would like to thank my committee colleagues for understanding the need to continue this program for the next year, and Senator Begich for joining me in this effort.” Murkowski has said that the program, which was intended as a cultural exchange of sorts, was halted because of concerns regarding how it was operating outside of Alaska, a characterization Phelan agreed with. “We never felt there was really a justification for seafood being excluded from the program, and so we’re very happy that hopefully we will be allowed back in,” Phelan said. Finding employees in the United States can also be more expensive than using the J-1 program.

Great Pacific Seafoods General Manager Roger Stiles said he’s been able to get the employees he needs this summer, but it’s a lot more expensive than in years past. Great Pacific has three plants — one each in Anchorage, Kenai and Whittier — and a buying station in Kotzebue. The largest portion of the company’s product comes from Prince William Sound. Staffing those plants is more challenging without the J-1 program, Stiles said. Great Pacific needs an average of about 275 employees through the summer, but last year, Stiles only averaged about 175 — and he went through 750 employees to get that many, he said. “It was just a disaster,” Stiles said. Flying up employees who don’t stick around is expensive, and understaffed plants are inefficient, so this year, Stiles said he went through a labor company in the Lower 48 to find employees for the positions he couldn’t fill locally. That’s more expensive, but so far it means he’s had enough employees to keep things running, although he said June 24

that he’d need about 70 more in the next two weeks as deliveries increased. This early in the season, Stiles said it’s hard to say for sure that his company is in the clear for this year. Not everyone has had such a hard time. Snug Harbor Seafoods co-owner Paul Dale said his Kenai company has been able to find enough employees this summer by hiring locally and from the Lower 48. But if the J-1 program was reinstated, Snug Harbor may end up using it again, he said. “We used to use a lot of J-1 students, and we enjoyed them very much,” Dale said. The appropriations language would reinstate the program through September 2015, offering processors a one-season reprieve to hire the foreign students. That’s a start, Stiles said. “We very much look forward to the resumption of the J-1 program in 2015, and hopefully it’s extended beyond 2015,” Stiles said. Last year, the delegation tried to reinstate the program through the immigration reform bill that is now stalled in the U.S. House after passing

fire, but if another event like that occurs, she doesn’t want to feel helpless. After Wednesday’s class, Baczkowski said she is more comfortable around fire and now knows how to put a small flame out. Huckabay said about 20-25 CERT members assisted the borough with evacuation and staging efforts during the fire. Dan Nelson, Office of Emergency Management program coordinator, said after a large event, like the fire, interest in the program typically increases. He estimates to have about 18 students by the end of the course. He also said this is the first time OEM has offered the courses during the summer in Soldotna and believes that has lead to a higher number of high school-age participants. Since its implementation in the borough in 2006, more than 500 people have been trained, Nelson said. “It’s a tremendous asset that these people are willing to step up,” Nelson said. “They’re all volunteers. They don’t get anything more than maybe a meal

once in a while and they’re doing these things for hours on end. It’s tremendous and we really couldn’t pull off in this community with the limited resources we have, some of these things without them.” The borough offers courses throughout the Kenai Peninsula based on funding and interest in the program. The CERT curriculum comes from the Federal Emergency Management Agency, but is revised to be locally relevant. Huckabay said because it is a federal course, certification should transfer elsewhere in the nation if students move.

To get certified and join the borough’s CERT, participants must take all eight classes and the complete the drill or make up the classes online or during another session. Nelson said those interested in taking one or two particular classes are invited to attend. Current CERT members are also welcome to participate. All classes are free and will be held from 6-9 p.m. at the Emergency Response Center, 253 Wilson Lane, Soldotna.

Environmental Conservation, or DEC, funded the grant. The Kasilof River, which Stevens said does not contain the level of bacterial contamination that has been found in the Kenai River, has been added to the 2014 monitoring program so that researchers can have more data on that river’s water quality. “We want two years of data on a beach before we stop monitoring it,” Stevens said. “We’re trying to get that second year for the Kasilof.” Last year in July, elevated levels of fecal coliform and enterococci bacteria in the Kenai River prompted the DEC to warn dipnetters to wash their fish and avoid getting river water into their mouths. At the time, Steven said fecal coliform and eterococci bacteria were not dangerous, but are harbingers of harmful pathogens. While the robust dipnet

That effort would also have temporarily allowed J-1 workers for the seafood processing industry, and then created a new three-year temporary visa for seafood processing and other industries in need of guest workers. “This is something Sen. Murkowski and I have been working together on since last year’s negotiations over the immigration bill,” Begich said in a formal statement. “I’m glad we were able to convince our colleagues on both sides of the aisle of the importance of this provision, and I commend the Appropriations Committee’s decision to include Alaska’s Seafood industry in the J-1 Summer Work Travel program,” said Begich. “Until there is a comprehensive solution to address seasonal labor needs in the U.S. I will continue to use my role on the Appropriations Committee and Senate Oceans Subcommittee to fight for reforms that address critical labor shortages in Alaska’s seafood industry.” Molly Dischner can be reached at molly.dischner@ alaskajournal.com.

fishery, with all of its waste, can contribute to the elevated levels of bacteria, the river’s water quality standards for bacteria were exceeded in June 2013 — well before the fishery opened. This year, researchers will change the monitoring program slightly by sampling twice a day to see if bacterial problems are consistent throughout the day. In addition, samples will also be collected around the bird rookery to see if it is a strong source of bacteria in the water. Monitoring will take place at the Warren Ames Bridge and four locations on the north and south beaches at the mouth of the Kenai River. On the Kasilof River, four locations at the mouth of the river and one undetermined location farther upstream will be tested. A report on the 2013 bacterial monitoring at the mouth of the Kenai has yet to be issued. Stevens said the City of Kenai was issued the grant last year. A report is due from that testing on June 30.

. . . Kings Continued from page A-1

Managers have estimated that 19,700 Kenai River king salmon will make a run on the river this year, which is less than half of the average total run from 1986-2013. The low numbers of fish forecasted to return and the number of fish that are harvested could jeopardize attaining one of the river’s escapement goals for king salmon, according to a Fish and Game media release. While area management biologists have restricted Kenai River king salmon anglers to no-bait fishing in previous years, this year’s decision to limit the fishery to no-bait triggered management actions in the Kenai River personal-use and commercial fisheries in the

But administration officials say the U.S. has grown increasingly confident in recent months about its ability to distinguish the moderate rebels from the more extremist elements that include the al-Qaida-inspired Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant, or ISIL, which has stormed into Iraq and captured much of the northern part of the country. The risk of U.S. weapons and ammunition falling into the wrong hands appears to have only heightened now that ISIL has strengthened. But Obama’s request to Congress on Thursday appeared to indicate that tackling the crumbling security situation in Syria and Iraq trumped those concerns. White House spokeswoman Caitlin Hayden said the military assistance “marks another step toward helping the Syrian people defend themselves against regime attacks, push back against the growing number of extremists like ISIL who find safe haven in the chaos, and take their future into their own hands by enhancing security and stability at local levels.” The Syria program is part

With the regularly scheduled periods on Mondays and Thursdays no longer in effect in the set gillnet fishery, all fishing time will be announced via emergency order beginning Tuesday, according to the Fish and Game media release. n People participating in the personal-use dipnet fishery, which opens on July 10 at the mouth of the Kenai River, will not be allowed to keep king salmon caught in their nets. Fish and Game also restrict-

ed sportfishing on the Kasilof River to single-hook, no-bait fishing beginning Tuesday. The river has been restricted to single-hook no-bait fishing since February and anglers have not been allowed to keep naturallyproduced king salmon, in addition to a reduction in the baglimit for hatchery produced king salmon. While restrictions on the late-run king salmon sport fishery on the Kasilof River were issued to combat the potential for increased pressure on the river due to restrictions on the Kenai River, according to a Fish and Game emergency order, they are also designed to boost escapement numbers for naturally-produced Kasilof River late-run king salmon which have also seen a drop in numbers.

Construction will include a welded steel tank, an open trench water main and a control pump building. The project was initiated following the partial collapse of the roof on Soldotna’s 500,000-gallon reservoir in late 2012. The five-acre parcel of land where the water tank will be constructed is within the Fox Trail of the Tsalteshi Trails system, Dixson said. The parcel was originally purchased specifically for the installation of another reservoir, he said. The new project will disrupt current use of Fox Trail, Dixson said.

The city received two nonmatching grants totaling $3 million from the state, according to the ordinance requesting an additional appropriation of $1.15 million from the city’s utility fund. The original engineer’s estimate was $2.5 million and the lowest bid was $3.4 million, according to a memo from the engineering department. City Engineer Kyle Kornelis said even if the city held off on starting the project until next spring, it would not make a difference in the price. “One of the reasons we needed the extra appropriation is that steel prices have climbed considerably since the original estimates,” Dixson said. “The current appropriation does have a contingency budget should we

run into any other unanticipated factors which would affect the scope or costs of the project.” Council member Pete Sprague said he had some reservations about appropriating $1.15 from the utility fund for the project. Sprague said the amount was hard to swallow. His biggest concern was the difference between the estimate and the lowest bid. Quelling his hesitation; however, was that most of the bids were generally in the same price range, Sprague said. “We need to get going on the project,” he said. The size and location works for the new reservoir for any future development and expansion of the city, Sprague said.

ian rebels, ISIL is seeking to push Assad from power. The group seeks to carve out a purist Islamic enclave across both sides of the Syria-Iraq border. With ISIL gaining strength, U.S. officials say Assad’s forces launched airstrikes on extremist targets inside Iraq on Monday. The U.S. is also weighing targeted strikes against ISIL in Iraq, creating an odd alignment with one of Washington’s big-

gest foes. Officials said the administration would coordinate with Congress and regional players on the specific types of training and assistance the U.S. would provide the opposition. One potential option would be to base U.S. personnel in Jordan and conduct the training exercise there. The Senate Armed Services Committee has already approved a version of the sweep-

ing defense policy bill authorizing the Defense Department to provide “equipment, supplies, training and defense services” to elements of the Syrian opposition that have been screened. The Senate could act on the bill before the August recess. In addition to the covert trainand-equip mission, the U.S. has also provided nearly $287 million in nonlethal assistance to the moderate opposition.

The military program would be supplemented by $1 billion in assistance to Syria’s neighbors — Jordan, Lebanon, Turkey, and Iraq — to help them deal with an influx of refugees and the threat of extremists spilling over their borders. The Russian ambassador to the United Nations criticized Obama’s announcement, saying it was “moving things in the wrong direction.”

crew,’” said AMSEA executive director Jerry Dzugan. “The answer I get from older fishermen who mostly have some musculoskeletal problems is ‘I wish I would have known about ergonomics 20-30 years ago,’ and the answer I get from younger guys is that its only a problem for older fishermen.” Common injuries for commercial fishers are wide-ranging, Dzugan said. Tendonitis and carpal tunnel syndrome are prevalent, as are lower back, shoulder, elbow and wrist injuries from lifting, moving and repetitive motion. The class “Strains, Sprains and Pains” will focus on ergonomics and injury prevention — and will also cover issues that can be boat-specific or eas-

ily-ignored. “I was talking to a longliner salmon troller last year. He grew up on his boat, it was his parents’ boat, he’s been on that boat for probably 30 years,” Dzugan said. “Last year, he put in a table for cleaning fish that was just the right height — both him and the crewmembers all said in unison that was the best thing that ever happened on this boat. It’s the right height, the right shape and they can process fish on it instead of doing it on a deck.” The way a fishing boat is constructed can be an oftenoverlooked issue when fishers are considering ways to alleviate pain and body-stress from the strenuous job. On gillnetting boats, fish are

commonly put on ice in the hold after being picked from the net. “I would put ice in my hold and I would have to go down in the hold with a tiny plastic shovel and then take these fish and lift them above my head to get them out,” Dzugan said. “I’ve seen a couple (of boats that) have PVC pipes at the rail and ... when they pick a fish out of the net, they slide it down the PVC pipe and it goes into the hatch. They don’t have to bend over, they don’t have to walk it over — they can just pick fish. It’s quicker, it’s better for fish quality and it’s certainly a lot less motion.” While the class won’t cover how individual fishers can make their boats more ergonomic and easier to work around, Dzugan

said it would cover the basic principals a person would need to know when considering how to tailor a boat’s deck and operating areas. Dzugan said getting fishers to understand that they don’t have to be in pain and can take steps to change their work environments to prevent injury, can be a difficult point to make. “For fishermen, it’s a little harder for them to recognize it, because I think first of all, a lot of them are family-owned operations; the problem is they’ve accepted it,” Dzugan said. “You’re trying to change that fact, you don’t have to accept this, you don’t have to work in the arrangement of your boat because that’s the way it came or that’s the way it’s traditionally done.”

Rookies begin courting free agents As Wiggins is taken by Cavs at No. 1 and Napier goes to Heat, focus turns to LeBron BRIAN MAHONEY AP Basketball Writer

NEW YORK — Andrew Wiggins went No. 1, so he got to make the first pitch. What would he say to LeBron James about joining him in Cleveland? “I want to win,” Wiggins said. “If he wants to win, we’d be good together.” Shabazz Napier is on his way to Miami, complete with James’ endorsement, so maybe he’s the key to keeping James right where he is. “I would hope so,” Napier said. “He’s one of the best players in the world. So if me going there helps him come back, it just betters our chances of being a complete team.” Welcome to today’s NBA, where

even rookies are recruiters. Long before the draft was over, the focus was already turning toward free agency, which kicks off July 1 with James and Carmelo Anthony as the top prizes. So when the so-called experts make their draft grades, the one that matters most might have come from James himself on Twitter, shortly after Napier was selected by the Charlotte Hornets and dealt to the Heat. “My favorite player in the draft! (hashtag) Napier,” James wrote. Others may be better in a deep draft that was loaded with young talent. That starts with Wiggins, whom the Cavaliers took with their second straight No. 1 overall pick. They’re hoping the Kansas freshman turns out

better than fellow Canadian Anthony Bennett. Thrilled to go first and even happier when Jayhawks teammate Joel Embiid went two picks later, Wiggins beamed in his black tuxedo jacket with a white floral pattern. “A thousand thoughts are going through my head right now,” Wiggins said. “It’s a dream come true.” Bennett was injured last summer, came into the season out of shape and made no impact, one of the reasons the Cavs were back in this spot again. But Wiggins seems a much more ready product after averaging a Kansas freshman-record 17.1 points. He might have ended up as the top pick anyway, but became the best option for the Cavs when Embiid had a stress

fracture in his right foot shortly before the draft. After making Canada the only country besides the U.S. to have consecutive No. 1 picks, Wiggins slipped on a maroon Cleveland hat, hugged his supporters and went on stage to shake hands with Commissioner Adam Silver, who was calling the first round for the first time since replacing David Stern. Wiggins later said James would follow his heart in making his free agency decision. “I wouldn’t want to sell him on nothing. He’s a grown man,” Wiggins said. Milwaukee followed with another freshman, Duke forward Jabari Parker, who some consider the more NBA-

ready player after an All-American season for the Blue Devils. Playing in Milwaukee puts him near his family in Chicago. “I’m just very optimistic,” Parker said. “If it was 1, 2, put me at 60, just getting that opportunity, getting that chance of being in the NBA.” Embiid went third to Philadelphia, drawing loud cheers from the many red-and-blue dressed 76ers fans who made the trip to Barclays Center in Brooklyn, as well as from Philadelphia guard Michael Carter-Williams, last season’s Rookie of the Year who was sitting on the arena floor level. The 76ers had two top-10 picks and could afford to take a chance on Embiid, the big man who may have ended See DRAFT, Page B-3

Loss to Germany is enough to advance United States NESHA STARCEVIC AP Sports Writer

RECIFE, Brazil — Joachim Loew and Jurgen Klinsmann shook hands, smiled and patted each on the shoulders, like the two good friends they are. The two coaches had every reason to be pleased: both of their teams advanced to the knockout stage of the World Cup. Loew’s Germany beat Klinsmann’s United States 1-0 thanks to Thomas Mueller’s fourth goal of the tournament and the outcome allowed both teams to advance. Portugal beat Ghana 2-1 in the other Group G match but both were eliminated.

A draw would have been enough as well, and it had been the matter of much conjecture before Thursday’s match at the rain drenched Arena Pernambuco. But neither team held back and both attacked, although Germany was clearly in control. “Well, first I asked him (Klinsmann) for the result of the other match. I didn’t know that and he also told me they advanced and I told him, I’m happy,” Loew said. “That is a tough group and the Americans were a bit the outsiders. Everybody considered Portugal a favorite to make it. ... (The Americans) really have qualities, they fight, they can run and they

really are tough on the opponent. If you beat Ghana, play a draw against Portugal, I think you deserve to make it to the next round.” Germany, a three-time champion, now travels to Porto Alegre to play Algeria, the runner-up in Group H, on June 30. The Americans play group winners Belgium on July 1 in Salvador. Belgium beat South Korea 1-0 and Algeria finished second in the group with a 1-1 draw against Russia. “It’s a good feeling because now it’s really just a clear picture for everyone. Just focus on that one opponent you have for that next game. ... We’ll just talk about one team to

beat at a time and this is why I’m really excited” about this next phase, Klinsmann said. Klinsmann was Loew’s predecessor and made him his assistant, until Klinsmann quit following Germany’s thirdplace finish at the 2006 World Cup at home. Loew then took over and is still looking for his first major title. Klinsmann also warmly embraced Germany players, some of whom got their start under him. Mueller got his Bundesliga debut in August 2008 when Klinsmann was the coach of Bayern Munich. Klinsmann must have had a good nose for talent, since Mueller is on track to retain See KICK, Page B-4

BETHESDA, Md. — Tiger Woods was back on the PGA Tour for the first time in more than three months Thursday and said he felt “fantastic.” He was talking about his back, not his game. One day into his most recent return from injury, that’s what mattered to him. Woods opened with two straight bogeys, made five more bogeys in a seven-hole stretch around the turn at tough Congressional and finally found his groove late in the opening round of the Quicken Loans National for a 3-over 74. Woods was tied for 83rd — only 19 players had a higher score — and he will have to score better Friday if he wants

to avoid missing the cut for the first time in two years. “I made so many little mistakes,” Woods said. “So I played a lot better than the score indicated.” Congressional had a lot to do with that. Two weeks after a U.S. Open that had no rough, Congressional made it feel like one. Any shot just off the fairway was buried, making it difficult for even the powerful players to reach the green on some of the longer par 4s. Greg Chalmers finished with three straight birdies for a 66 and a one-shot lead over Ricky Barnes and Freddie Jacobson.

Trout, Pujols help Angels complete perfect homestand By The Associated Press

ANAHEIM, Calif. — Mike Trout and Albert Pujols drove in two runs apiece, Jered Weaver pitched seven strong innings, and the Los Angeles Angels completed a perfect homestand with a 6-4 victory over the Minnesota Twins on Thursday. Pujols had three hits and Josh Hamilton drove in a run to help the Angels win their sixth straight and move a season-best 11 games over .500 (4433). Trout had two doubles, including a two-run drive down the left-field line in the seventh. The Angels have won 15 of 17 in Anaheim, where they have the majors’ best home record. Los Angeles swept Texas and Minnesota to complete its first unbeaten homestand with at least six games since May 2004. Weaver (8-6) yielded eight hits — all singles — and struck out six to improve to 7-0 in eight career starts against Minnesota. The right-hander, who threw a no-hitter against Minnesota in 2012, has given up one run in 24 innings while striking out 24 in his last three home meetings with the Twins.

Joe Mauer hit a three-run double eight in a row in August 2005. with two outs in the ninth for Minnesota. BLUE JAYS 7, WHITE SOX 0 Ricky Nolasco (4-6) was the loser. TIGERS 6, RANGERS 0 ARLINGTON, Texas — Rick Porcello pitched a three-hitter for his first career shutout and 10th victory this season as Detroit beat skidding Texas to win its seventh consecutive game. Miguel Cabrera had four hits and Austin Jackson hit a two-run single for the AL Central leaders, who completed a threegame sweep. While the Tigers have the longest winning streak in the majors, Texas has the longest losing streak at eight in a row. Porcello (10-4) limited the Rangers to three singles and benefited from three double plays. He struck out six and walked three, throwing a season-high 115 pitches. It was only the second complete game for Porcello in 164 major league starts — all for the Tigers since 2009. The righthander has won at least 10 games in each of his six seasons. Rangers rookie Nick Martinez (1-5) allowed six hits and walked five of the 18 batters he faced in 2 1-3 innings. Texas has its longest losing streak since dropping

TORONTO — Adam Lind had three hits and three RBIs, and J.A. Happ pitched a season-high 7 2-3 innings in Toronto’s shutout of Chicago. Jose Reyes had four hits and scored twice as the AL East leaders handed the struggling White Sox their seventh loss in eight games. Chicago lost for the 10th time in 11 road games. Happ (7-4) allowed four hits and won for the third time in five starts. The lefthander struck out a season-high eight. Chicago center fielder Adam Eaton left in the first inning with cramps in his left leg. Starting for the first time since May 19, White Sox right-hander Scott Carroll (24) gave up five runs and nine hits in five innings.

DODGERS 1, CARDINALS 0 LOS ANGELES — Pinch-hitter Justin Turner delivered an RBI single in the eighth inning off Adam Wainwright, and Los Angeles edged St. Louis in their first meeting since last year’s NL championship series. C

Josh Beckett pitched seven sharp innings in a tight duel with Wainwright, who held the Dodgers hitless through five. Left fielder Matt Kemp threw out a Cardinals runner at the plate in the seventh. Juan Uribe, just off the disabled list after missing 34 games with a right hamstring strain, led off the eighth with a single and advanced on a sacrifice bunt by Drew Butera before rookie Miguel Rojas’ infield single put runners at the corners. Turner, batting for reliever Brian Wilson, came through with his 20th RBI of the season. Wilson (1-2) pitched a perfect inning and Kenley Jansen got three outs for his 24th save. Wainwright (10-4) took a hard-luck loss. He gave up five hits while going the distance for the 19th time in 201 regularseason starts.

REDS 3, GIANTS 1 SAN FRANCISCO — Brandon Phillips homered among his three hits and scored twice in his return to the lineup, leading Mike Leake and Cincinnati over San Francisco. Leake (6-6) allowed four hits in eight innings. He had a career-high 12 strikeouts and walked one, which was intentional.

Aroldis Chapman worked the ninth for his 15th save in 16 chances. Jay Bruce and Todd Frazier each added two hits for the Reds, who have won five of six. Bruce doubled in the seventh and has an extra-base hit in each of his last seven games, the longest streak by a Reds player since Dave Parker did it in eight straight in 1986. Adam Duvall homered in his major league debut for the Giants, who lost for the 12th time in 16 games. Ryan Vogelsong (5-4) allowed one run and five hits over six innings one day after teammate Tim Lincecum threw a no-hitter against San Diego. Jean Machi gave up Phillips’ homer leading off the seventh, ending his scoreless streak at 25 1-3 innings. Zack Cozart and Ryan Ludwick also drove in runs for the Reds, who have won eight of their last 10 games, including playoffs, in San Francisco.

BREWERS 7, ROCKIES 4 MILWAUKEE — Rickie Weeks had three hits, including a leadoff home run, and Wily Peralta won his fifth consecutive start as Milwaukee defeated Colorado. Weeks homered on the first pitch from Christian Friedrich (0-2). Aramis Ramirez See MLB, Page B-3

Nadal gets his revenge against Rosol STEPHEN WILSON AP Sports Writer

LONDON — Not this time. Two years after being knocked out in the second round of Wimbledon by Lukas Rosol, Rafael Nadal found himself one point away from falling behind two sets to love to the same player on the same Centre Court in the same round Thursday. It looked like another huge upset was in the making. But the Spaniard ripped a forehand winner to erase the set point and Rosol double-faulted two points later to give Nadal the set. With that sudden shift in momentum, Nadal rallied for a 4-6, 7-6 (6), 6-4, 6-4 victory that sent him into the third round at the All England Club. “The difference maybe is one point,” the two-time champion said. “Maybe if I lose that set point in the second set, if that forehand down the line went out, maybe (I) will be here with a loss.

“But that’s the sport. That forehand was a perfect forehand for that moment.” Rosol stunned Nadal in five sets in the second round in 2012, a match that finished under the closed Centre Court roof. While Nadal insisted he was not out for revenge, the way he dug himself out of trouble and celebrated with fist pumps and shouts of “Vamos!” showed how much winning this match meant to him. “Today is another history, another story,” he said. “I needed to find the solution. Finally I did. That’s the most important thing.” Nadal came into Wimbledon after winning his ninth French Open title but his form on grass was in question. In addition to that loss to Rosol two years ago, he was upset in the first round last year by Steve Darcis and lost to Dustin Brown in a grasscourt warm-up two weeks ago in Halle, Germany. “This is a very important victory for me,” Nadal said. “To be in the third round here

68. Compton birdied his last four holes. “I didn’t think it was easy at all,” Chalmers said. “I played really well, and I think anybody who plays really well can shoot a low score. You just have to be coming out of the fairway, and I didn’t that the majority of the time today.” Only 26 players in the 120-man field broke par. This day, however, was all about Woods. He has been golf’s biggest draw since he turned pro in 1996 and accumulated 79 wins on the PGA Tour and 14 majors. He won the last two times he played Congressional, in 2009 and 2012. Even with an early start, the gallery lined the entire left side of the 218-yard 10th hole, with hundreds of others watching from the patio and veranda of the famed clubhouse at Congressional. Two holes into Woods’ opening round, they had reason to ask: We

again after two, three years is very positive news, and I finished the match playing at a very high level.” Nadal looked in danger again Thursday as the big-hitting, 6-foot-5 (1.96-meter) Czech kept going for big serves and forehands that kept the Spaniard at bay. After taking the first set, Rosol went up a break in the second before Nadal broke back to make it 4-4. Then came the tiebreaker that changed the course of the match. Rosol went up 5-4, with a chance to serve out the tiebreaker in the next two points. Nadal won the next point, forcing Rosol to miss a low half volley. Rosol served an ace to give him a set point at 6-5. Nadal then came up with the forehand winner to make it 6-6, Rosol missed a return on the next point, and then double-faulted into the net. While Nadal celebrated, his coach and uncle, Toni, leapt out of his seat in the guest box,

waited three months for this? But it wasn’t just Woods. He played with Jason Day and Jordan Spieth, and that trio of top-10 players combined for six bogeys in two holes. All three of them were in the fairway on the same hole one time the entire round — on No. 11, the hardest at Congressional, and only because Day’s tee shot ricocheted off a tree. Day had a 73, while Spieth shot 74. “It was cool playing the first one back,” Spieth said. “I love playing alongside Jason, as well. We are all rooting for each other, and that’s a good feeling. It was hard to root for each other because it just looked like the lid was closed on the hole. But once we all started hitting a couple fairways, it got better at the end.” Woods looked about the same as he has all year. He gave away shots with his short game, with some ordinary chips and not making as many putts as he once did. On his second hole, No. 11, he had a 50-foot putt from the fringe that came up 18 feet short of the hole. He missed consecutive 6-foot putts — one for birdie, one for par.

shouted “Vamos!” and pumped his fist three times. From then on, Nadal was in charge. He ran off 14 points in a row from the end of the third set to early in the fourth. While Nadal was made to work, five-time women’s champion Serena Williams wasted no time in reaching the third round, routing Chanelle Scheepers 6-1, 6-1 in 49 minutes. Chasing her 18th Grand Slam title, the top-seeded American overwhelmed the 94th-ranked South African, hitting eight aces and notching 26 winners. “I don’t want to feel great necessarily right now because hopefully I have several more matches,” Williams said. “The goal for me is just to feel a little better every day.” Maria Sharapova, the 2004 champion and fifth seed, beat Timea Bacsinszky of Switzerland 6-2, 6-1. Other seeded winners included No. 9 Angelique Kerber, No. 13 Eugenie Bouchard and No. 19 Sabine Lisicki. In men’s play, fifth-seeded

Rafael Nadal of Spain celebrates after he defeated Lukas Rosol of the Czech Republic in their men’s singles match on Centre Court at the All England Lawn Tennis Championships in Wimbledon, London, Thursday.

Stan Wawrinka needed four sets to beat Taiwan’s Lu YenHsun, 7-6 (6), 6-3, 3-6, 7-5. Ninth-seeded John Isner — the last U.S. man in the tournament — hit 32 aces and won a marathon tiebreaker to beat Jarkko Nieminen of Finland 7-6 (17), 7-6 (3), 7-5.

Australian teenager Nick Kyrgios saved nine match points before stopping No. 13 Richard Gasquet 3-6, 6-7 (4), 6-4, 7-5, 10-8. Also advancing was No. 8 Milos Raonic and No. 14 JoWilfried Tsonga, who beat Sam Querrey 14-12 in the fifth set of a match suspended Wednesday.

He did most of the damage to his card around the turn, failing to get upand-down for par on the 15th, 17th and 18th holes, hitting a poor chip from the side of a bunker on the long par-3 second, pulling a pitching wedge into a bunker on No. 3 and missing a 5-foot putt. That put him at 6 over for the round. At the time, Day was 4 over and Spieth was 5 over. “We were all kind of looking to break 80,” Woods said. “It was a bit of a fight today for all of us, but we all hung in there.” SENIOR PLAYERS CHAMPIONSHIP PITTSBURGH — Joe Durant, David Frost and Doug Garwood sprinted to the early lead at the Senior Players Championship, shooting 6-under 64 at defenseless Fox Chapel. Still drying out after days of steady rain, the par-70 layout in suburban Pittsburgh offered little resistance. Frost and Garwood breezed through their rounds without making a bogey, and Durant offset his lone bogey with seven birdies. Bernhard Langer, Corey Pavin,

Pregnant woman runs 800 at nationals MICHAEL WAGAMAN Associated Press

SACRAMENTO, Calif. — Alysia Montano will have a heck of a story to tell her first child. Thirty-four weeks pregnant, Montano ran the 800 meters Thursday in the U.S. Track and Field Championships. The five-time national champion finished in 2 minutes, 32.13 seconds — nearly 35 seconds slower than her personal best of 1:57.34 in 2010 in Monaco. “I’ve been running throughout my pregnancy and I felt really, really good during the whole process,” Montano said after the qualifying heat. That the 28-year-old former University of California star finished last in her heat

didn’t matter one bit to the crowd gathered at Hornet Stadium. Trailing the lead pack by more than 120 meters for most of the race, Montano received a rousing ovation as she finished her first lap and the cheering grew louder when she finally crossed the finish line. “I just didn’t want to get lapped and be the first person to get lapped in the 800,” said Montano, the 800 national champion the past four years. She was never close to being lapped, taking a nice relaxed pace from the start and maintaining it throughout. That was according to the plan Montano laid out after consulting with her physician. Not only did doctors give Montano the OK to run, they encouraged her.

In the fifth, Weeks doubled and scored on Jonathan Lucroy’s single. A sacrifice fly by Khris Davis put the Brewers ahead 5-4. Pinch-hitter Scooter Gennett connected for a two-run homer in the eighth. Peralta went six innings for his second win over the Rockies in less than a week. Francisco Rodriguez earned his major league-leading 26th save.

Fan-beating case goes to jurors LINDA DEUTSCH AP Special Correspondent

LOS ANGELES — Jurors in a high-profile negligence lawsuit against the Los Angeles Dodgers and former owner Frank McCourt were asked Thursday to decide who was responsible for a beating that left a San Francisco Giants fan with devastating brain damage. The case filed on behalf of Bryan Stow was placed in the hands of jurors after closing arguments. Stow’s lawyer Tom Girardi contended the team and McCourt had failed to provide enough security to keep Stow safe at the Opening Day game in 2011 between the state rivals. “Dodger Stadium got to a place where it was a total mess,” Girardi told jurors. “There was a culture of violence. Beer sales were off the charts.”

Continued from page B-1

PHILADELPHIA — Chase Utley hit a two-run homer in the 14th inning to lift Philadelphia over Miami. Jarrod Saltalamacchia, Giancarlo Stanton and Marcell Ozuna homered for the Marlins, who managed only two hits from the ninth inning on. After the Phillies squandered chances to score in the 10th, 11th and 12th, Jimmy Rollins led off the 14th with an infield single. Utley followed by driving an 0-2 pitch from Chris Hatcher (0-1) deep into the right-field seats. The game lasted 4 hours, 41 minutes, and the teams combined to use 13 pitchers. Justin De Fratus (2-0) pitched two scoreless innings, part of an impressive

“He worked so hard,” Wiggins said. “He didn’t let nothing get to him. He always stayed motivated. So I’m just proud. It’s a proud moment for Kansas. It was considered a deep draft, with top-level talent stretching toward the bottom of the lottery and perhaps beyond. Arizona forward Aaron Gordon went fourth to Orlando, which also had two picks in the lottery, followed by

He also said, “The only thing Bryan Stow was doing was wearing a jersey that said ‘Giants.’” Girardi implored the jury to award $37.5 million in damages and double that amount for pain and suffering. Defense attorney Dana Fox countered that there was more security than at any other Dodgers opening day in history, and no one could have prevented the assault on Stow as he walked to a spot to catch a cab. He insisted the team and McCourt were blameless and Stow should receive nothing. “We would be heartless and inhuman not to feel sympathy for Mr. Stow,” Fox said. “These are life-altering injuries.” However, he reminded jurors they had promised not to let sympathy influence their verdict. The closing arguments came a day after Stow sat in

his wheelchair in court where jurors could see ghastly scars on his head where his skull had been temporarily removed during medical treatment. Stow, 45, a former paramedic from Northern California, didn’t testify and was not in the courtroom Thursday. His family, however, occupied a front row. Girardi described him to jurors as one of the nicest people he has represented and said, “We hope to get a little justice out of this.” Girardi has said Stow has no memory of the catastrophic events and had to be told Wednesday why he was sitting in the courtroom. Fox insisted that responsibility for the beating in a parking lot belonged to Dodger fans Louie Sanchez and Marvin Norwood, who pleaded guilty to charges filed in the attack. Fox also cited testimony that Stow’s blood-alcohol

level was .18 percent — more than twice the legal limit for driving — and that a witness account of Stow yelling in the parking lot with his arms up in the air. “There were three parties responsible — Sanchez, Norwood and, unfortunately, Stow himself. There were things Mr. Stow did that put these things in action,” Fox said. He added, “You don’t get yourself this drunk and then say it’s not your fault.” Fox showed jurors huge blow-up pictures of Sanchez and Norwood and pointed to them as the culprits. He also noted that Stow has never sued them. Girardi asserted that there should have been more uniformed police officers at the stadium. If security officers had been on the job, they would have ousted the rowdy Sanchez during the game and there would have been no assault, he said.

Punishment with a bite Uruguay’s Suarez banned for 4 months from all soccer GRAHAM DUNBAR AP Sports Writer

RIO DE JANEIRO — Luis Suarez exits the World Cup with one of the longest bans in tournament history, and his reputation once again in tatters. The Uruguay forward, widely regarded as one of the best players in the world, was banned by FIFA from all football for four months on Thursday for biting an Italian opponent in an incident that marred the team’s victory and progression to the second round. It’s the third time he’s served a suspension for biting an opponent — after similar incidents at both Ajax in the Dutch league and Liverpool in England — and the second straight World Cup where Suarez exits in disgrace. The four-month ban will sideline Suarez for the first two

months of Liverpool’s season. He was also suspended for Uruguay’s next nine matches, which extends beyond the four months and rules him out of next year’s Copa America, where his team is the defending champion. The Uruguayan football federation said it would appeal. Aside from Diego Maradona’s 15-month suspension for a failed drug test at the 1994 tournament, it’s the longest ban handed out to a player at the World Cup. FIFA also fined Suarez 100,000 Swiss francs ($112,000). Suarez bit the left shoulder of defender Giorgio Chiellini on Tuesday in Natal during Uruguay’s 1-0 win over Italy, an incident that went unpunished by the referee but was witnessed by fans around the world on TV. Given Suarez’s previous biting incidents, the images went viral immediately.

Argentina’s Aguero out with thigh injury BELO HORIZONTE, Brazil (AP) — Sergio Aguero will miss Argentina’s World Cup second round match against Switzerland because of a muscle injury in his left thigh. Argentina team doctor Daniel Martinez said on Thursday that Aguero is receiving treatment and will be evaluated “day by day.” Aguero limped off the pitch in the first half of Argentina’s 3-2 win over Nigeria on Wednesday. C

Martinez described the injury as a “firstdegree” strain in a muscle on the back of his thigh. That means it only affects a few of the muscle fibers but even so it could take several weeks to heal. Argentina faces Switzerland on Tuesday in Sao Paolo. “Obviously Sergio is not available for the next match,” Martinez said. “From there on it depends on ... Sergio’s evolution day by day.”

Earlier Thursday, a team spokesman denied a report by Argentine newspaper Clarin saying Aguero had been ruled out of the tournament because of the injury. Ezequiel Lavezzi came on for Aguero against Nigeria and is likely to get the nod again if coach Alejandro Sabella sticks to the three-man attack that is Argentina’s favored formation. Aguero wasn’t having a great World Cup before the injury, failing to score despite starting in all three group stage matches.

Fish tacos

was in the Air Force, stationed near Oxnard, California in the late 1950s, when I discovered the joy of tacos. That first taco wasn’t fancy. It was just seasoned hamburger, shredded lettuce, chopped tomato, grated cheese and a drizzle of store-bought taco sauce in a crisp corn tortilla shell, but to this boy from a logging town in western Washington, it was the most exotic food I’d ever eaten. About 10 years ago, I came across a recipe for fish tacos, and added those to my taco-building repertoire. Most any fish you like to eat, you’ll like in a taco. Tacos are a great way to finish off left-overs. Earlier this week, I made them with left-over, deep-fried halibut, and I often make them with left-over salmon. Following is my recipe for fish tacos. I’ve included instructions for cooking seafood with Panko along with a few other tips.

Fish Tacos with Salsa Verde (Serves 4) Prepare salsa and sour cream (recipes below) before cooking fish. 4 flour tortillas (soft taco size) 1 lb. boneless, skinless fish, cut into bite-sized chunks 1 cup peanut oil 1 cup Panko 1/2 cup rice flour Your choice of spices and herbs (see below) 1 large egg 2 T. water 1 cup shredded white cabbage ¼ cup sour cream mixed with zest of 1 lime

Salsa Verde 1 or 2 jalapeno peppers, seeds and veins removed, finely chopped 2 med. tomatillos, finely chopped 1 T. finely chopped sweet onion 1 T. fresh lime juice ¼ t. ground cumin ¼ t. ground corriander ¼ t. salt ½ t. honey 2 T. chopped cilantro leaves Mix salsa ingredients, cover and refrigerate for an hour or so to allow flavors to blend. In a wok or small sauce pan, preheat oil (about 1/2-inch deep) to 375 degrees (F.). Mix rice flour and spices in a plastic bag. Add fish pieces to bag and shake until all are thinly coated. Lightly beat egg and water in small bowl. One piece at a time, dip fish in egg mixture with a fork, allow to drain for a moment, then place in Panko and thoroughly coat with a teaspoon. Set Pankocoated pieces aside on a plate. Cook fish a few pieces at a time, without crowding. Avoid overcooking. Turn pieces once. Small pieces will be done in about one minute, total cooking time. Fish should be See PALMER, page C-2

Run from beach to mountain and back By KIE RELYEA The Bellingham Herald

BELLINGHAM, Wash. (AP) — On the morning of Friday, June 27, eight runners will head out from the beach at Cornwall Avenue on the first leg of a 108-mile journey that will take them from Bellingham Bay to the summit of Mount Baker, and then back again. The event will mark Bellingham resident Daniel Probst’s third attempt at completing the entire route. The first attempt on Aug. 9, 2013, in which Probst was in a group of four, was thwarted by bad weather that forced them to abandon the effort at the base of a glacier. Two weeks later, Probst went alone and got all the way to the summit, with

the help of an American Alpine Institute guide, but couldn’t complete the return run. This time, he hopes to complete the entire thing with the other seven participants. They will run, hike and climb together — with no planned breaks for sleep over the course of 40 hours — from the beginning on Friday morning to the end. Four of the runners will be from Bellingham. The others are from Seattle, Canada and California. Probst, an ultra-runner, said there were a number of goals for the event, which will follow a pace that can be maintained by the participants. “We’re not looking to go as fast as we can. It’s more to prove that it’s possible,” the 35-year-old Probst said. The founder of running

group Cascade Mountain Runners, he organized this year’s event with the goal of planning and launching a new Mount Baker Ultra Marathon, tentatively set for June 2015. The route will follow a proposed national recreation trail that will go from downtown Bellingham to the reconveyance land that’s been dubbed the new Lake Whatcom Park and into Acme. It will eventually link up with the trail system that was used by what Probst calls the original mountain runners, over 100 years ago, to summit Mount Baker. Those were the participants in the original Mount Baker Marathon, a short-lived competition that was the forerunner of today’s Ski to Sea race. Lasting from 1911 to 1913, the

race was known for its danger, the devil-may-care attitude of its competitors and even some intrigue among competing towns. “The Mountain Runners” is also a documentary about the race created by Bellingham filmmaker Todd Warger. There will be some similarities between the forerunners and this attempt. The fickle weather, for one. “The weather is one of the biggest challenges,” Probst said. The presence of a Diehl is another. Back in 1911, Hugh Diehl drove “Betsy,” his modified Model T Ford, to transport runner Joe Galbraith to the downtown Bellingham finish line in the inaugural Mount Baker Marathon. Galbraith, a 19-year-old homesteader from

Acme, won the race. Back then, competitors raced from Bellingham to Mount Baker by car and by train, then ran to the summit of Mount Baker before returning to the finish line. This year, Bob and Mike Diehl of Diehl Ford in Bellingham will drive the support van on the first leg of the run to Acme. One of the eight runners will be 25-year-old Bellingham resident Emily Morehouse, who looks forward to the endurance of it all. “I’ve always liked getting out and pushing my body and, recently, doing more mountain adventures,” she said. “Being out in God’s creation and pushing myself feels right. Pushing myself harder and longer is an amazing feeling.”

Company successfully tests space-tourism balloon By JERI CLAUSING Associated Press

ALBUQUERQUE, N.M. — An Arizona company says it has successfully completed the first smallscale test flight of a high-altitude balloon and capsule being developed to let tourists float 20 miles above the earth. World View Enterprises of Tucson said Tuesday that it launched the flight last week from Roswell, New Mexico. CEO Jane Poynter said the system broke the world record for highest parafoil flight, lifting a payload to 120,000 feet. “It went really, really, really well,”

‘It went really, really, really well,” Poynter said. Actually, the guys hit the ball out of the park. We’re thrilled.’ — Jane Poynte, CEO Poynter said. “Actually, the guys hit the ball out of the park. We’re thrilled.” The system uses a balloon similar to that used in 2012 to lift Austrian daredevil Felix Baumgartner 128,000 feet to make a world-record breaking 24-mile sky dive. That flight also launched from the Roswell airport. Poynter said that last week’s flight was the first testing all the components

together. It used a balloon about third the size of that planned for passenger flight to lift a payload of about onetenth of what will be used to carry passengers. The company is still planning to begin its $75,000 per-person flights in 2016, she said. The balloons will lift a capsule carrying six passengers and two crew members 20 miles up,

where they will float under a parafoil for about two hours before floating back down to earth. The capsule will be big enough for the passengers to walk around. The selling point is the view of the Earth and seeing its curve, the company says. Other space-tourism ventures under development will rocket passengers the full 62 miles into space but on much shorter flights. In filings with the Federal Aviation Administration, World View said it planned to launch its flights from Spaceport America in New Mexico. But Poynter Tuesday said that no final decision has been made on where to See SPACE, page C-2

Breeding Bird Surveys - Quick! Three Beers! R efuge N otebook B ri K ilbourne I saw the moon for the first time this summer. Waking up at 2AM brings a new perspective to the seemingly perpetual daylight of Alaskan summers. However, this darkness didn’t last long, and after a blurryeyed car ride, I found myself at the turnoff to Skilak Lake Road. Here, Toby Burke and I prepared for the 50 stops to come this morning as we waited for 4AM. It was time, once again, to collect data for the National Breeding Bird Survey on one of the many designated routes within the Kenai National Wildlife Refuge. The Breeding Bird Survey is a North American survey beginCredit: Bo Reilly ning in 1966, and is designed to Bri Kilbourne, Kenai National Wildlife biology intern from Colo- get a wide-spread idea of bird population numbers. These rado.

numbers are then compared to prior years to track the changes in bird distribution. The surveys are performed in the US, Canada, and Mexico. The Kenai National Wildlife Refuge began doing the surveys annually in 1982, and now have the largest continuously run routes in Alaska. Currently, the refuge monitors four routes - two on the refuge and two off of the refuge. When species numbers are shown to have dramatic changes across the years, this is not a reason to panic and assume endangerment. One common explanation for this phenomenon is some species are timed to spruce cone crops, and when the crops are not abundant, the birds will travel to a new location to breed. As the birds on the Kenai Peninsula migrate back to breed, they do not return to the exact location each year. Naturally, the birds will breed in the areas giving the highest success for their offspring. So why start as early as C

4AM to survey, you may ask? The birds do most of their singing to attract a mate between the hours of 4 and 9AM, and even then there are very specific restrictions on survey conditions. In order to have the highest amount of detectability (meaning hearing the song of the birds present in the area), the prevailing winds cannot be above 10mph and there cannot be rain or fog. These weather trends tend to put the birds, shall I say, under the weather. The refuge performs the survey after June, which allows enough time for the birds to migrate into the area and begin singing. By mid-July the singing is done and the birds are now rearing their young. Today, our first 39 destination points were along Skilak Lake Road, with the remaining 11 being on Mystery Creek Road. The survey is conducted by stopping every half mile and listening to the songs for 3 minutes. Simultaneously the number and species present

is written. Studies have determined three minutes to be the optimum time to hear the majority of the species present in the area while still allowing 50 stops to be completed before 9AM. In addition, the start and end time is recorded, weather conditions are noted, and a new temperature reading is made every three stops. Some of the species the Kenai National Wildlife Refuge observes include Swainson’s Thrush, American Robin, Varied Thrush, Yellow Rumped Warbler, and my personal favorite, the Olive-Sided Flycatcher. Some other interesting nonbird species Toby has seen along his routes are multiple moose, and the occasional bear, wolf, and lynx crossing his path. These enthralling sights make his surveys even more enjoyable. Because almost all of the bird species are detected with auditory senses, the surveyor must be See REFUGE, page C-2

Tallest water slide preview delayed By BILL DRAPER Associated Press

KANSAS CITY, Kan. — Problems with a conveyor system designed to haul rafts to the top of the world’s tallest water slide have forced officials to cancel two scheduled media sneak preview days and could delay the ride’s official opening for the third time. National and local media members were scheduled to take rides Thursday and Friday on the 17-story, 168-foot-tall Verruckt water slide, but Schlitterbahn Waterpark spokeswoman Winter Prosapio said glitches last weekend with the conveyor hadn’t been resolved in time for that to happen. There’s a chance the Kansas City, Kansas, attraction will be ready for operation on Sunday — more than a month after it had been slated to open May 23 — as long as the issues have been ironed out, she said. “When we had problems this weekend, we flew in parts, flew in people, flew in all kinds of stuff,” Prosapio said Wednesday.

Battle over removing fish from reefs By AUDREY McAVOY Associated Press

HONOLULU — The waters off the Hawaii’s largest island are home to a half-million brightly-colored tropical fish that are scooped up into nets each year and flown across the globe into aquariums from Berlin to Boston. Scientists say the aquarium fishery off the Big Island is among the best managed in the world, but it has nevertheless become the focus of a fight over whether it’s ever appropriate to remove fish from reefs for people to look at and enjoy. Activists have launched a campaign to shut down the buying and selling of fish for aquariums, saying the practice from Hawaii to the Philippines is destroying coral reefs.

“In this day and age, where the ocean faces a crisis ... there’s absolutely no justification for a fishery for hobby,” said Mike Long of Seattle-based Sea Shepherd Conservation Society, which is spearheading the campaign. A coalition of fishermen, state regulators and even local environmentalists say the group should focus its attention elsewhere, noting comprehensive aquarium fishery regulations and scientific research that shows fish stocks there are rebounding. “We don’t have a problem here anymore,” said Tina Owens of the local environmental group Lost Fish Coalition. Scientists estimate the aquarium trade removes about 30 million fish from reefs around the world. Hawaii accounts for less than 2 percent, while the vast majority comes from Indonesia and the Philippines.

Some fishermen in these countries capture fish by pumping cyanide into the water to make fish sluggish and easier to catch. The chemical may also harm nearby marine life, as well as shorten the captured fish’s life span. The Philippines has long prohibited cyanide fishing and in April banned certain types of fishing gear that destroy coral reefs and other marine habitat, said Asis Perez, director of the government’s Bureau of Fisheries and Aquatic Resources. Hawaii collectors use nets to capture fish. Local collectors may sell one yellow tang — the most commonly caught species on the Big Island’s west coast — for about $3 or $4. With middlemen adding costs to store and ship them, the fish may retail for anywhere between $30 and $60.

ish billionaire Richard Branson, will make its first flight. The company’s newest target date is the end of this year, but it has said that for each of the last several years. “I don’t think anyone anyone considers us in a race,” Poynter said when asked if they might beat Virgin Galactic to passenger flight. “We don’t consider us in competition because the experience is so completely different.”

Leftover lingerie still lingers in boyfriend’s dresser drawers

DEAR ABBY: I was recently told by a neighbor that if he wasn’t married, he would make a pass at me. It made me feel kind of bad, especially the next day when I saw his wife. My niece said I shouldn’t feel bad because it was a compliment and I should be glad I still attract attention at 60. My feeling is, if you think about it — it’s infidelity. Am I wrong or too stringent in my thinking? — OLD-FASHIONED LADY IN OREGON DEAR OLD-FASHIONED: I think what your

neighbor said was less “infidelity” than “lust in his heart.” But in a sense, he did make a pass because when he said what he did, he signaled to you that he could be interested. Cut him some slack this time and chalk it up to having been paid a compliment. But if he says it again, tell him it bothers you because you like his wife and think it’s insulting to her.

Abigail Van Buren

we love his dad and want him there, but his wife is not welcome? — NERVOUS BRIDE-TO-BE IN FLORIDA DEAR NERVOUS: You and Todd should talk to his father and express your concerns that his wife’s unpredictable behavior could ruin your wedding. Ask how he thinks this should be handled. He may agree to attend alone or choose to skip the wedding. He could also promise you that if his wife gets loaded and becomes disruptive, he will escort her out of there immediately. (Suggest it to him if he’s unwilling to come without her.)

error when trying to balance your checkbook, or you just might decide to ignore your budget and your long-term needs. Remember, there is always tomorrow. Tonight: A little self-discipline could go a long way. CANCER (June 21-July 22) HHHHHYou’ll beam as you greet the New Moon in your sign. A resolution made today or tomorrow is likely to stick. Why not wish upon a star? If someone is very difficult, walk away rather than get sucked in. Stay focused on the long term. Tonight: As you like it. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) HHHYou intuitively know what needs to happen and why. You could feel pushed and somewhat confused. Try to absorb new information with care. Understanding will evolve if you stay out of a potential problem and take a step back to observe. Tonight: Vanish with a friend. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) HHHH You have clearly stated your expectations and plans. As a result, you might need to head in a new direction, but you could hit some opposition when and where you least expect it. Express your creative abilities in order to get around this last-minute hassle. Tonight: Be yourself. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) HHH The New Moon, while it does herald new beginnings, could escalate your tension and stress levels as well. Meet any obligations, and be willing to deal with a problem head-on. You could be taken aback by a family member’s recalcitrant ways. Tonight: A force to behold if out. SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21)

HHHHYou’ll have a unique opportunity to move in a direction that will allow you to open up to new beginnings. You might want to scope out the situation first, before you make a final decision. Make sure you know what you’re doing. Tonight: Go where music is played. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) HHHH You will consider heading down a new path; however, a friend might ask you to join him or her in some sort of venture. As a result, you could end up discussing an upcoming trip. A loved one might shock you with some news. Tonight: Add more intimacy to a relationship. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) HHHH Defer to someone else, and know full well what works for you. You might want to let a friend take the lead — at least in making plans. Your sense of humor will emerge in a conversation. The unexpected seems to keep happening. Tonight: Enjoy your popularity. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) HHHH You might be left to handle the last-minute details of a project. You could want to proceed in a certain direction, but you will need to wait until at least Monday to do so. Understand what needs to occur first. Bide your time. Tonight: Join a friend or co-worker for TGIF. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) HHHHYou will be unusually innovative right now, especially if a restriction or problem heads in your direction. You’ll have the ability to turn it around quickly. What comes to your mind might be more workable than you first believe. Tonight: On the prowl.

A bag for buttons and pills Dear Heloise: I found a great use for the tiny, zippered plastic BAGS that hold an extra button and come with new articles of clothing. If I’m traveling for a few days, all of my pills will fit into one of those bags. — Deborah H., Nevada City, Calif. Deborah, that’s a great way to recycle those little bags. If taking a road trip, this could work nicely. If flying, though, be cautious. The Transportation Security Administration has this to say regarding prescription medications: “Passengers are allowed to bring medications in pill or other solid form through security screening checkpoints in unlimited amounts, as long as they are screened. TSA does not require passengers to have medications in prescription bottles, but states have individual laws regarding the labeling of prescription medication with which passengers need to comply.” I would advise checking with the airport about prescription medications before arriving for your flight. It would be a hassle to be delayed or to be unable to bring your medications. — Heloise Send a great hint to: Heloise P.O.

I hang mine on a hanger in the closet. I label each one with a note and a straight pin — “no leaves,” “one leaf,” etc. This saves time when trying to find the correct tablecloth when company is coming to dinner. — Judy L.S., Somers, Wis.

DEAR ABBY: I have been seeing my boyfriend for five months. He still has some of his ex-girlfriend’s lingerie in his dresser. When we first got involved, he showed it to me and asked if I wanted any. I said no thanks. Now that I’m more invested in the relationship, I’d like him to get rid of it. He is currently out of town, traveling for a month. Would it be inappropriate for me to throw away these “trinkets” without consulting him? — SETTING BOUNDARIES IN ARIZONA DEAR SETTING BOUNDARIES: Yes, I think it would be inappropriate. Although your boyfriend will probably tell you to go ahead and get rid of it if it bothers you, it would be more respectful if you clear it with him first.
