Bill to cut down DMV trips signed into law

Question Do you buy Alaska Grown produce? n Yes, that’s a selling point for me. n I do if it’s the best price or best quality available. n It’s not a priority for me.

WASILLA — Gov. Sean Parnell signed legislation June 20 aimed at simplifying vehicle registration for Alaskans with older cars. House Bill 19 gives individuals the option to permanently register their personal vehicles that are at least eight years old. It also gives personal trailer owners the option to permanently register their trailers. Stoltze, R-Chugiak, the bill’s sponsor, said HB 19 would encourage compliance with state vehicle registration laws. “This is just a simple government bill that makes it easier — less trips to the DMV,” Stoltze said. “It was an expression of, OK, after so many years you’ve paid enough in taxes on the vehicle and it was a value judgment.” When HB 19 takes effect Jan. 1 2015, Alaskans with qualifying vehicles can choose to pay the $100 biennial state registration fee plus a $25 permanent registration fee, which will cover registration for as long as the vehicle remains under the same ownership. The permanent registration is non-transferable. Similarly, trailer owners can pay the $30 fee plus a $25 permanent surcharge to register their trailers for as long as

In the news Nikolaevsk man dies in vehicle rollover

A 59-year-old man from Nikolaevsk died in a singlevehicle rollover accident in Anchor Point Friday. Ivola Usoltseff was driving eastbound on North Fork Road near the intersection of Coleman Lantern Avenue in Anchor Point at about 8:22 p.m. when he lost control of his 1995 Toyota truck, according to an Alaska State Troopers dispatch. The vehicle entered the ditch and rolled before coming to a rest on its side. The report said Usoltseff, the only occupant, was not wearing a seat belt. The Kenai Peninsula Bureau of Highway Patrol responded to the scene. Emergency Medical Services transported Usoltseff to South Peninsula Hospital, where he was pronounced deceased. Alcohol is believed to have been a factor in the accident, according to the report. Next of kin has been notified. The investigation is continuing. — Staff report

John Pfeifer, an amateur or ham radio operator, works to reach 300 connections in 24 hours on one station communicating through Morse code. In the background George Van Lone, who has been a ham operator since 1993, tries to verbally connect with other hams across the nation. The two are members of the Moosehorn Amateur Radio Club, which set up its trailer and mobile equipment at Skyview High School to participate in the American Radio Relay League’s “Field Day” on Saturday and Sunday.

Transmitting and receiving Amateur radio operators make connections on “Field Day” By KAYLEE OSOWSKI Peninsula Clarion

At 9 a.m. on Sunday it was time to pack up. The Moosehorn Amateur Radio Club successfully completed another “Field Day” — 24 hours and hundreds of connections with other amateur or ham radio operators. The club also gave license exams to six people interested in becoming op-

erators on Saturday at the Skyview High School parking lot. A written test on the rules and technology is required to become a licensed ham operator. There are three levels of operators — technician, general and extra. Ted Johnson has been a ham for about a year and a half and hopes to move up to a general license soon. As a kid, he said he knew about ham radio, but until recently he didn’t have the time or interest to get licensed.

John Pfeifer, who has an extra class license, said he thinks elimination of the Morse code requirement and the integration of computers, has helped to increase interest in the hobby in recent years. “Lots of things are happening now in ham radio now that I think are broadening the interest a little bit so that people who are more computer oriented now are sort of becoming interested,” Pfeifer said.

Corps files proposal to justify CD-5 permit By TIM BRADNER Morris News Service-Alaska Alaska Journal of Commerce

A lawsuit over a key federal permit is still in court, but ConocoPhillips isn’t slowing down on its construction of CD-5, a small satellite oil deposit near the Alpine oil field on the North Slope. “Work on CD-5 is continuing,” ConocoPhillips spokeswoman Natalie Lowman said. U.S. Alaska District Court judge Sharon Gleason accepted briefs June 20 on a suit filed by

six villagers from Nuiqsut, a nearby Inupiat community, who claim construction of a bridge over a Colville River channel and roads to the CD-5 production pad will impair their subsistence activity. The lawsuit was filed last year by Trustees for Alaska, an environmental law firm, on behalf of the six plaintiffs, against the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers. Earlier this year, Gleason found that the permit for the bridge and roads issued by the corps had not been adequately justified. The State of Alaska and

ConocoPhillips intervened in the case in the defense of the corps, along with the North Slope Borough and the Alaska Native corporations who own the surface and mineral rights. Gleason asked parties in the case for recommendations on remedies to the permit problem, and those were filed June 20. Reponses to those briefs are required by July 1. Trustees for Alaska proposed that Gleason order an injunction to stop work on the project until the issue on the permit it resolved. The Corps of Engineers

proposed to prepare a justification for the permit and file it with the court within 90 days. ConocoPhillips supported the corps proposal and urged Gleason not to halt construction. The company offered to limit its activity this summer to work on gravel pads that have already been constructed. ConocoPhillips, in its brief, said a work stoppage would disrupt the project and cause environmental harm. Kuukpik Corp., the Native village corporation for Nuiqsit, sided with the corps and

ConocoPhillips and took a position opposite the six village plaintiffs, arguing that delays in completing the bridge and roads would impair the village’s access to subsistence resources. Isaac Nukapigak, president of Kuukpik, said his corporation, in which almost all Nuiqsut residents are shareholders, had worked with ConocoPhillips earlier to move the bridge and road routing to locations that would reduce impacts on subsistence activity. Nukapigak also warned that See PERMIT, page A-7

Polish boat sets sail for Northwest Passage By NICK BOWMAN Ketchikan Daily News

KETCHIKAN — Ryszard Wojnowski slid his finger along the perimeter of the polar ice cap, pausing on the village of Dikson on Russia’s north coast. “In Dikson we stayed two and a half weeks,” Wojnowski said, still pointing to the map. “Here was the most difficult part.” The Kara Sea, on the edge of the northern cap, catches and holds sea ice, which last year was thickest in the area since 2006. The Polish engineer and recreational sailor — on a yearlong voyage around the arctic on his yacht, the Lady Dana

44 — slid his hand from east to west across the sea. “You need to get wind from here so it pushes the ice out,” he said. Sitting at the table inside the Lady Dana 44 (which is actually 47 feet long) Wojnowski told the Daily News about his trip so far, which has been partially documented online at arctic2013.pl/en/, and how he and his crew of seven had arrived in Ketchikan. Wojnowski set sail from Sopot, Poland, on June 8, 2013, planning to circle the North Pole beginning on the Russian side, crossing the Bering Strait to reach Nome — as far south in Alaska as they intended to go — and returning along the top of the North American con-

tinent. It was the Dikson delay and some engine trouble that halted the trip. “We wanted to do it in one season,” Wojnowski said, “but due to difficult ice conditions, we only managed to pass the northeast passage above Russia.” After Dikson, the Lady Dana 44 crossed the Bering Strait to arrive in Nome. “We went straight from Bering Strait to Vancouver,” he said. The crew took 17 days to travel 2,000 miles. The Lady Dana 44 has traveled more than 10,000 miles since it was finished in 2013. Wojnowski stored the yacht, See SAIL, page A-7 C

NASA to launch global warming satellite By ALICIA CHANG AP Science Writer

LOS ANGELES — Five years after a NASA satellite to track carbon dioxide plunged into the ocean after liftoff, the space agency is launching a carbon copy — this time on a different rocket. The $468 million mission is designed to study the main driver of climate change emitted from smokestacks and tailpipes. Some of the carbon dioxide is sucked up by trees and oceans, and the rest is lofted into the atmosphere, trapping the sun’s heat and warming the planet. But atmospheric CO2 levels fluctuate with the seasons and in different regions of the Earth. The natural and human activities that cause the changes are complicated. The Orbiting Carbon Observatory-2, or OCO-2 for short, will be able to take an ultra-detailed look at most of the Earth’s surface to identify places responsible for producing or absorbing the greenhouse gas. “This will allow us to understand what processes are controlling how much carbon is absorbed in a given time and place,” Anna Michalak, a scientist at the Carnegie Institution for Science who is not part of the mission, said in an email. The mission, designed to last two years, could provide data that will help scientists making

predictions about future carbon dioxide levels and their impact. NASA suffered a major scientific — and financial — disaster in 2009 when a rocket carrying the original satellite plummeted into the waters off Antarctica minutes after soaring from Vandenberg Air Force Base along the central California coast. After the loss, engineers went back to the drawing board and built a near-identical twin that was set to launch before dawn Tuesday. Instead of using the same rocket, the replacement will be flown on a Delta 2, a workhorse booster that once faced a murky future. Scientists who have no role in the mission welcomed the latest flight attempt. They said it would have taken even longer to get to the launch pad with a completely new design. “We don’t have time to waste. We need solutions now,” said Elisabeth Holland, a professor of climate change at the University of South Pacific in Fiji who helped write the 2007 Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change report. There has not been an Earthobserving satellite dedicated to tracking carbon dioxide since the Japanese launched one in 2009. “It’s really the fate of carbon dioxide once it’s in the atmosphere that we’re trying to re-

This Jan. 22, artist concept rendering provided by NASA shows their Orbiting Carbon Observatory (OCO)-2. The OCO-2, managed by NASA’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory in Pasadena, Calif., will launch from Vandenberg Air Force Base, Calif., on a Delta II rocket on July 1. Five years after a NASA satellite to track carbon dioxide plunged into the ocean after liftoff, the space agency is launching a carbon copy _ this time on a different rocket. The $468 million mission is designed to study the main driver of climate change emitted from smokestacks and tailpipes.

ally put our finger on,” project scientist Michael Gunson of the NASA Jet Propulsion Laboratory said during a recent prelaunch news conference. Since the industrial age, the concentration of carbon dioxide in the air has increased dramatically. Some 40 billion tons of the greenhouse gas are pumped out yearly from the burning of fossil fuels. About half ends up trapped in Earth’s atmosphere while a quarter is absorbed into the ocean. Another quarter is sucked up by trees and plants. After the 2009 failure, a team of experts appointed by NASA traced the problem to a piece of rocket hardware — the nose cone protecting the satellite — that did not separate as planned. The extra weight prevented Orbital Sciences Corp.’s Taurus XL rocket from reaching orbit. Two years later, it happened again. Despite a design change, NASA’s Glory satellite was lost aboard another Taurus XL rocket. The mission was supposed to study solar radiation and airborne particles that reflect and trap sunlight. The back-to-back fiascos led NASA to choose the Delta 2 rocket made by United Launch Alliance, a joint venture of Lockheed Martin and Boeing Co. The Delta 2 had faced an un-

certain future after its main client, the U.S. Air Force, switched to the more powerful Delta 4. The new mission costs almost twice as much as the original, mainly because it will ride on a more expensive rocket. Engineers also had to swap out obsolete parts, adding to the mission price tag. After a six- or seven-week shakedown, the satellite’s lone instrument, a high-resolution spectrometer, will begin its mission of scanning the Earth. Once in polar orbit 438 miles high, the satellite will circle Earth every 100 minutes. It will measure carbon dioxide levels by looking at the intensity of sunlight reflected from the presence of CO2 in a column of air. NASA hopes to begin making the data available for free to anyone beginning early next year. The satellite will join a constellation of 17 other NASA spacecraft that stare down at the planet. Project manager Ralph Basilio said the team was heartbroken over the 2009 mishap and looked forward to a second chance. “We’re excited about this opportunity — this opportunity to finally be able to complete some unfinished business,” he said during a pre-launch briefing.

NEW YORK — Gay pride parades stepped off around the nation on Sunday, in cities large and small, with gay, lesbian, bisexual and transgender people and their supporters celebrating a year of same-sex marriage victories. New York’s Fifth Avenue became one giant rainbow as thousands of participants waved multicolored flags while making their way down the street. Politicians including Mayor Bill de Blasio and Gov. Andrew Cuomo were among those walking along a lavender line painted on the avenue from midtown Manhattan to the West Village.

The parade marked the 45th anniversary of the Stonewall riots, the 1969 uprising against police raids that were a catalyst for the gay rights movement. The parade route passes The Stonewall Inn, the site of the riots. In Chicago, as many as 1 million people were expected to pack the streets of the city’s North Side for the first gay pride parade since Illinois legalized gay marriage last month. Charlie Gurion, who with David Wilk in February became the first couple in Cook County to get a same-sex marriage license, said there was a different feel to the parade this year. “I think there is definitely like an even more sense of pride now knowing that in Illinois you can legally get married now,” Gurion said, as he posed for photograph after photograph with Wilk at the parade. “I think it is a huge thing and everybody’s over the moon that they can do it now.” In San Francisco, hundreds of motorcyclists of the lesbian group Dykes on Bikes took their traditional spot at the head of the 44th annual parade and loudly kicked off the festivities with a combined roar. Apple Inc. had one of the largest corporate presences, and chief executive Tim Cook greeted the estimated 4,000 employees and family members who participated. The parade drew more than 100,000 spectators and participants. U.S. House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi, San Francisco Mayor Ed Lee and assorted state and local politicians rolled along Market Street along with gay city police officers holding hands with their significant

others as their children skipped ahead. In Seattle, thousands of people gathered in downtown Seattle for the city’s 40th annual Pride Parade. This year’s theme — “Generations of Pride,” honors civil rights battles in the city that elected its first openly gay mayor last November. Actor George Takei, who played in the “Star Trek” TV show and movies and is now an activist for gay and civil rights, is celebrity grand marshal of the Seattle parade. A 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 has transformed the national debate over same-sex marriage, convincing many people on both sides of the contentious issue 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. Other parades were held Sunday across the U.S., including in Minneapolis and Houston. On Saturday, festivals were in held France, Spain, Mexico and Peru.

What Others Say

Congress finally regrowing spine Public outrage over Edward Snowden’s

revelations of spying abuses by the National Security Agency has finally had a welcomed consequence. Congress — supine for years in its duty to check the agency’s power — is finally regrowing its spine. The first indication came in May, when the U.S. House first passed important, but watered-down, reforms. The USA Freedom Act was intended to end the NSA’s bulk and warrantless collection of American’s phone records. But last-minute amendments gave the NSA too much wiggle room to conduct business as usual. Last week, the spine stiffened. The House, by a 293123 margin, moved to hit the NSA where it hurts — in its budget — by defunding what the Electronic Frontier Foundation called “two of the NSA’s most invasive surveillance practices,” including the practice of requiring American companies to install backdoor spy holes in communications hardware and software. Among the Washington delegation, only U.S. Reps. Dave Reichert and Doc Hastings voted no. A yes vote on NSA reforms resets the balance between the NSA’s role between homeland protection and bedrock American civil liberties. In the post-9/11 decade of passive and deferring congressional oversight, that balance was tipped dangerously toward the former. This reset now moves to the U.S. Senate. Sen. Ron Wyden, D-Oregon, a champion of NSA reform even before Snowden’s revelations, cites the agency’s “long track record of secretly interpreting surveillance laws in incredibly broad ways” as reason for the Senate to further stiffen its spine. He has the backing of the American people. A recent Pew Research poll found broad cynicism about President Barack Obama’s support for NSA reforms. By a 4-to-1 margin, Americans disbelieved the claim that reforms will weaken the fight on terrorism. Congress, finally, is reclaiming its oversight spine. — Seattle Times, June 24

At the IRS, stuff happens

Lois Lerner managed to contain her disappointment when she learned in 2011 that she had lost two years’ worth of emails — forever. After being told that her data was being sent to the “hard drive cemetery,” never to return, Lerner replied with philosophical equanimity, “Sometimes stuff just happens.” Yes, the IRS is incredibly susceptible to stuff happening. First, it happened when the agency singled out the applications of conservative groups for special scrutiny and delayed their applications for tax-exempt status prior to the 2012 elections. Then it happened when then-IRS Commissioner Douglas Shulman went before Congress in March 2012 and denied that the targeting was taking place. It kept happening last year, when Lerner arranged to reveal the targeting via a planted question at a tax conference, and proceeded to falsely blame a few rogue employees in the Cincinnati office. It is still happening now, as the IRS failed to tell Congress about the missing Lerner emails until two weeks ago. So much stuff happens at the IRS that top officials must routinely break mirrors, open umbrellas indoors and spill salt. They set out to fairly administer the nation’s tax laws and through a series of bad breaks ended up applying them lopsidedly against their ideological enemies. They intended to cooperate fully and frankly with investigations into their unfair practices; through circumstances beyond their control, they

haven’t pulled it off. Lerner had her computer meltdown in June 2011, around the time Sen. Orrin Hatch and Rep. Dave Camp asked the IRS about its treatment of the primary donors to one conservative Rich Lowry 501(c)(4) group — in retrospect, one of the first signs of targeting conservatives. That the emails were lost beyond recovery will strike most people as implausible, because it is practically an axiom of modern life that emails never go away. Of course, it’s entirely possible that the IRS is so incompetent and its bureaucracy so archaic (it was using tape to back up emails) that it can’t manage to preserve what most people can’t get rid of. This, in fact, amounts to the IRS’s best defense. But the IRS has hardly earned the benefit of the doubt. Its instinct when the scandal broke was to try to cover up the role of Lerner and other Washington officials who were intimately involved in the targeting. As for the missing Lerner emails, the House Oversight Committee requested them last year, then subpoenaed them twice. No one at the IRS bothered to mention that some of them no longer existed (the emails within the IRS have apparently been recovered, but the ones to other agencies and outsiders have not). When IRS Commissioner John Koskinen testified be-

fore Congress in March, he couldn’t bring himself to let them in on the fact that there might be a problem with the emails. Even if the destruction of Lerner’s correspondence was an innocent coincidence, all of this reeks of bad faith and is itself scandalous. We aren’t talking about getting to the bottom of wrongdoing at the U.S. Board on Geographic Names or the Office of Small and Disadvantaged Business Utilization. This is the IRS, the most intrusive and demanding agency of the federal government. Yet it can’t straightforwardly cooperate with an investigation into misconduct that — once upon a time — outraged even the president of the United States. As time has passed, President Barack Obama has grown much mellower about this little unpleasantness at the IRS. He could order the White House and every other agency of government to undertake a search for emails received by Lois Lerner tomorrow. He could order the director of the FBI to undertake a forensic review of what happened to them. Instead, he is clearly hoping that the IRS scandal becomes another Benghazi, a watchword in the press for an irrational inability of Republicans to “move on.” Republican investigators will, regardless and rightly, keeping asking questions. Knowing its rotten luck, the IRS won’t be able to answer. Rich Lowry can be reached via e-mail: comments.lowry@nationalreview.com.

Opinion

CLARION P

By GARRY TRUDEAU

Over the years I’ve read many of the reports written for the Institute of Social and Economic Research (ISER). In May, ISER published the report funded by Northrim Bank and written by Dr. Scott Goldsmith entitled, “Alaska’s Oil Production Tax: Comparing the Old and the New” which has been placed in the center of the debate to repeal the new oil tax enacted by the passage of Senate Bill 21. His analysis is thoughtful, but the title is misleading and should be retitled, “Debunking the $2 Billion Giveaway Myth.” That’s what the report is being used for in the public relations arena and I believe that it’s also the reason behind the report’s creation. I agree with Dr. Goldsmith that in this current fiscal year, there is little difference between the amount of state revenue generated under Senate Bill 21 vs. ACES. The reason for that is because the price of oil in FY14 has remained in or near a narrow band of prices that makes the difference in the two taxes negligible. The $2 billion giveaway sound bite is a distraction and is not the issue Alaskans should think about before going to the polls in August. The issue they should consider is the fairness to Alaskans, the owner of the resource, under a broad scenario of oil prices and economic conditions. If the price of oil goes up, the profitability in our legacy fields will dramatically increase. Unfortunately, since Senate Bill 21 removed key elements of progressivity in our payment structure, Alaskan’s share of the profit will shrink. Furthermore, if the price of oil goes down, the per barrel credit the state pays the producers goes up, an unnecessary structuring that exposes more risk to Alaskans in low price environments. Senate Bill 21 is structured as if the State of Alaska is having a going out of business sale on oil. I have consistently argued that the compensation under Senate Bill 21 for the value of Alaska’s hydrocarbons in the legC

But as an elected official I’m responsible for protecting the best interests of the citizens of Alaska who are the owners of the extremely valuable, plentiful, and non-renewable oil resource on the North Slope. As it stands, I do not think Senate Bill 21 passes the Constitutional fiduciary obligation of elected officials responsible for setting the selling price of Alaska’s oil.

9 shot on Bourbon Street New Orleans By STACEY PLAISANCE Associated Press

NEW ORLEANS — Two men exchanged gunfire early Sunday on the city’s always-crowded Bourbon Street in the celebrated French Quarter and nine people were shot in the crossfire, including two who were critically wounded, police said. Images captured from a surveillance camera above a bar showed people running down the famous street in the chaos of the shooting at 2:45 a.m., NOLA. com The Times-Picayune reported. Police and emergency workers responded immediately and attended to victims as other revelers looked on. New Orleans Police Chief Ronal Serpas said six victims

were hospitalized in stable condition. The other victim’s condition was not available. Some of them were tourists. Their names have not been released. The victims were shot two blocks from historic Jackson Square and just around the corner from the popular Pat O’Brien’s piano bar. Preservation Hall, a music venue dedicated to preserving New Orleans jazz, is also nearby. Serpas said at a news conference in the French Quarter that the victims were shot “by two cowardly young men trying to hurt each other.” “What happened was two young men got angry at each other and shot at each other,” he said. Bourbon Street is a nightly swirl of bright neon and tourists,

usually with beverages in hand. A blend of jazz joints, strip clubs, bars and restaurants, Bourbon Street has everything from fourstar dining to sex shows. New Orleans Mayor Mitch Landrieu pledged a swift response from law enforcement. “Our No. 1 priority is to keep New Orleans safe,” Landrieu said in a statement. “These kinds of incidents will not go unanswered ... I am confident that between video evidence and eyewitness accounts, we will bring the perpetrators to justice.” Police have not determined whether the shootings might be gang-related, Serpas said. He called on residents, businesses and witnesses who may have video footage, including any from surveillance cameras, to

contact police. It was the third major shooting on Bourbon Street in the last three years. On the Saturday before Mardi Gras, four people were treated at a hospital after a shooting. During Halloween in 2011, one person was killed and seven others were injured after gunmen opened fire on each other. Justin Sigalos, of Chicago, was visiting New Orleans with friends this weekend. Standing near the site of the shootings, where blood was still visible on the sidewalk, he said the number of people struck by bullets was surprising. “That’s a lot of people,” he said. “Maybe one person getting shot, I could understand. But nine?”

Border Patrol has lots of agents in wrong places By ELLIOT SPAGAT Associated Press

SAN DIEGO — The downcast faces on computer screens are 1,500 miles away at a Border Patrol station in McAllen, Texas: a 20-year old Honduran woman arrested rafting across the Rio Grande and a 23-year-old man caught under similar circumstances. Four agents wearing headsets reel through a list of personal questions, spending up to an hour on each adult and even longer on children. On an average day, hundreds of migrants are questioned on camera by agents in San Diego and other stations on the U.S.-Mexico border. The long-distance interviews — introduced last year in El Paso, Texas, and extended to California — are a response to the dramatic increase of Central Americans crossing the border in Texas that also has flooded immigration facilities with hundreds of women and children. The Border Patrol does not have the staff to process all the immigrants crossing in the Rio Grande Valley, but faraway colleagues have time to spare. The remote video processing reveals a perpetual predicament that has long bedeviled the Border Patrol. Many agents wind up stationed in places where crossing activity is slowest because the Border Patrol struggles to keep up with constantly shifting migration patterns. One example of the staffing mismatch: the roughly 2,500 agents in the San Diego sector arrested 97 immigrants illegally crossing the border on June 14, according to an internal document reviewed by The Associated Press. On the same day, the roughly 3,200 agents in the Rio Grande Valley made 1,422 arrests. President Barack Obama will ask Congress for more than $2 billion to respond to the flood of immigrants illegally entering the U.S. through the Rio Grande Valley and for new powers to deal with returning unaccompanied children, a White House of-

ficial said Saturday. A letter will be sent to Congress on Monday, said the official who was not authorized to speak by name and discussed the requests on condition of anonymity. The exact amount and how it will be spent will come after Congress returns from recess on July 7. Whether any funds will go toward border staffing is unknown. In San Diego, the video processing is a welcome change of pace. Arrests are at 45-year lows and many agents go entire shifts without finding anyone. Cesar Rodriguez, who joined the Border Patrol in 2010, said eight hours fly by since he gave up his assignment watching a stretch of scrubcovered hills east of San Diego and took on a new assignment to process the immigrants via video. “If there’s nothing going on, what are you going to do? You’re just staring at the fence,” Rodriguez said in his new office, whose parking lot offers sweeping views of hillside homes in Tijuana, Mexico. A few feet away, Victor Nunez says he interviewed a woman carrying a 4-month-old child and spent his last shift working on a group of 93 people that crossed the Rio Grande at once. Such activity was unheard of on his overnight shift patrolling the quiet mountains near San Diego. “I feel like we’re helping out our agents,” said Nunez, who joined the Border Patrol in 2011. “It’s a big problem going on there.” The McAllen station is designed to hold a few hundred people, but often teems with more than 1,000 who spill into hallways and outside. Migrants have been sent to stations in quieter parts of Texas, and they were overwhelmed. Overcrowding at the Laredo station prompted a visit from the fire marshal last month. The shift to the Rio Grande Valley is part of a long-running trend where immigrants and smugglers change crossing locations faster than the government responds. San Diego was the hot spot until the mid-1990s, when 1,000 agents were added there. After

Border Patrol staffing imbalance n Arrest numbers: The Rio Grande Valley sector is by far the leader in the number of arrests of people entering the country illegally. The sector made 194,015 arrests from the start of the fiscal year Oct. 1 through June 24.

Despite being the busiest sector, the Rio Grande Valley doesn’t have the most agents. Tucson was the most heavily staffed, with 4,135 agents in September, the latest published figures. Rio Grande Valley was second with 3,086 agents, followed by El Paso, 2,631; San Diego, 2,572; Laredo, 1,804; Del Rio, 1,598; El Centro, 1,141; Yuma, 911; Big Bend, 623. n Recent surge: The recent surge of immigrants from Central America into Texas has laid bare the imbalance even more. The Border Patrol made 1,422 arrests in the Rio Grande Valley sector on June 14. On the same day, Tucson made 226 arrests, followed by Del Rio, 128; Laredo, 123: San Diego, 97; El Centro, 39; El Paso, 22; Big Bend, 20; and Yuma, 15. (AP) traffic moved to Arizona, staffing in Tucson ballooned under President George W. Bush, who doubled the Border Patrol close to its current size of more than 21,000 agents. Some warn against bulking up in South Texas because smuggling routes will inevitably change along the 1,954-mile border. “They don’t want to transfer a mass amount of agents and open a gap somewhere else where we have control,” said David Aguilar, the Border Patrol chief from 2004 to 2010. Forced transfers must be negotiated with the National Border Patrol Council, the union which represents agents, and have not happened on a large scale. The Border Patrol can move agents for 35 days — longer by mutual agreement — but those temporary assignments are expensive. More than 100 agents were sent to Rio Grande Valley this spring for short stays. Voluntary transfers were an option but have not been used widely in South Texas. The Border Patrol began a campaign about 10 years ago, partly aimed at boosting morale, to offer more

transfers if agents moved themselves. And, as agents quit or retire, the vast majority of new hires who replace them are now assigned to Rio Grande Valley. The Border Patrol introduced video processing in El Paso in April 2013 to address the surge in Rio Grande Valley, where most border crossers are from Honduras, El Salvador and Guatemala and many are unaccompanied children. It expanded the processing to El Centro, California, in March, and to San Diego last month. Between 230 and 500 people have been processed by video each day since it was introduced last year, but lack of detention space in Rio Grande Valley recently prompted authorities to fly migrants to El Paso and Arizona for processing, said Jackie Wasiluk, a spokeswoman for the Border Patrol’s parent agency, Customs and Border Protection. The agency said Friday that it will also fly migrants to California for processing. Costs are not an issue with video processing. Headsets and cameras are $70 apiece, and it’s a small sacrifice to supervisors.

Around the Nation Obama selects former Procter & Gamble exec Robert McDonald to head Veterans Affairs WASHINGTON — President Barack Obama plans to nominate former Proctor & Gamble executive Robert McDonald as the next Veterans Affairs secretary, as the White House seeks to shore up an agency beset by treatment delays and struggling to deal with an influx of new veterans returning from wars in Iraq and Afghanistan. An administration official said Obama would announce McDonald’s appointment Monday. If confirmed by the Senate, McDonald would succeed Eric Shinseki, the retired four-star general who resigned last month as the scope of the issues at veterans’ hospitals became apparent. In tapping McDonald for the post, Obama is signaling his desire to install a VA chief with broad management experience. McDonald also has a military background, graduating near the top of his class at the U.S. Military Academy at West Point and serving as a captain in the Army, primarily in the 82nd Airborne Division. The administration official insisted on anonymity in order to confirm McDonald’s appointment before the president’s announcement. The VA operates the the largest integrated health care system in the country, with more than 300,000 fulltime employees and nearly 9 million veterans enrolled for care. But the agency has come under intense scrutiny in recent months amid reports of patients dying while waiting for appointments and of treatment delays in VA facilities nationwide.

Criminal case of Benghazi suspect unfolds in nation’s capital against political backdrop WASHINGTON — The first prosecution arising from the Benghazi attacks is playing out in the federal courthouse blocks from both the White House and Capitol Hill, an appropriate setting for a case that has drawn stark lines between President Barack Obama and Republicans in Congress. The criminal proceedings could provide new insights into the 2012 attacks that killed four Americans and will serve as the latest test of the U.S. legal system’s ability to handle terrorism suspects captured overseas. Unfolding during an election year, the case against alleged mastermind Ahmed Abu Khattala could help shape the legacies of Obama and Attorney General Eric Holder, and spill over into the potential 2016 presidential candidacy of Hillary Rodham Clinton. Untangling the law from the politics may prove especially challenging for the public, given how prominent the attacks on the diplomatic compound in the eastern Libyan city have become in U.S. political discourse. “What’s going to matter to the public more than anything else is the result, and I think it’s going to only diffuse some of the ongoing Benghazi conspiracy theories if the Obama administration is going to be able to successfully obtain a conviction in this case,” said American University law professor Stephen Vladeck, a national security law expert.

2 dead, including rescuer, at Washington falls PILCHUCK FALLS, Wash. — A search and rescue worker died over the weekend trying to save another man who fell 100 feet at Pilchuck Falls in western Washington. Skagit County authorities say the hiker also died Saturday night. A friend who got in trouble himself while trying to rescue the 25-year-old hiker was rescued. The accident happened about 36 miles northwest of Seattle when the two men were separated from their hiking group and tried to make their way down to the falls near Lake Cavanaugh. A Skagit County Search and Rescue team was training nearby and responded to their call for help. A 61-year-old volunteer fell and died as he tried to reach the two men. On Sunday, authorities recovered the bodies of two men who died Saturday night at Pilchuck Falls, The Bellingham Herald reported. The names of the victims have not been released. Pilchuck Falls is 14 feet high and 60 feet wide in a steep ravine, according to the website AaronsWaterfallWorld.com, which tracks conditions at waterfalls in Western Washington. According to the website, the trail involves using a series of ropes to get to the bottom. A May 31 post on a hiking blog at the Washington Trails Association website wta.org said the route is steep and slippery. — The Associated Press

Syria: 7,000 killed in rebel infighting By BARBARA SURK Associated Press

BEIRUT — Up to 7,000 people, mostly rebels fighting to overthrow President Bashar Assad, have been killed in infighting among rival Islamic groups in Syria across opposition-held territory in the north, an activist group said in a report Sunday. The Britain-based Syrian Observatory for Human Rights says it has documented 7,000 deaths as a result of the rebelon-rebel violence since January, when infighting erupted in northern Syria. The death toll also included 650 civilians who

got caught in the crossfire of the fighting between the al-Qaidalinked Nusra Front and its rival, the Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant — a group which formally broke with al-Qaida earlier this year and has in recent weeks become a major fighting force in neighboring Iraq. The Observatory has been documenting the Syrian conflict through a network of activists inside Syria since it started in March 2011 as largely peaceful protest against Assad’s rule. It turned into an armed uprising after some opposition supporters picked up arms to fight a brutal government crackdown

on dissent. It gradually became a civil war, in which more than 160,000 people have been killed, according to activists, and nearly a third of Syria’s population of 23 million has been displaced. In Sunday’s report, the Observatory said its activists on the ground have the names of 5,641 rebels who have been killed in infighting. The names of another 1,200 dead fighters have not been confirmed. Up to 2,196 fighters who have been killed in clashes, suicide bombings and other rival attacks belonged to the Islamic State, while 2,764 were killed on the side of the

al-Qaida-linked Nusra Front and other Islamic groups fighting alongside it, the Observatory also said. The two rebel factions have been engaged in deadly infighting in opposition-held territory in several provinces in northern and eastern Syria, along the border with Turkey and Iraq, including Aleppo, Raqqa, Hassakeh and the oil-rich province of Deir el-Zour. The infighting over territory and strategic facilities — including oil-fields — that rebel groups captured together from government forces, has undermined the rebels’ larger goal of toppling Assad.

North Korea fires more short-range missiles By JUNG-YOON CHOI Associated Press

SEOUL, South Korea — North Korea fired two shortrange Scud missiles into its eastern waters Sunday, a South Korean official said, in an apparent test just days after the country tested what it called new precision-guided missiles. A South Korean military official, who spoke on condition of anonymity, citing department rules, said the missiles were fired from Wonsan and are presumed to be short-range Scud ballistic missiles. The official added that the military is determining what kind of Scud missiles the projectiles were. South Korean media quoted officials as saying the missiles are presumed to be Scud-C missiles, the same as ones fired in March. North Korea fired the missiles without designating nosail zones, which the South Korean military views as provocative. North Korea regularly testfires missiles and artillery, both to refine its weapons and to express its anger over various developments in Seoul and Wash-

ington. North Korea has in recent days criticized alleged South Korean artillery firing drills near a disputed maritime boundary in the Yellow Sea that has been the scene of several bloody skirmishes between the rival nations in recent years. The missile displays also come days before the leader of North Korea’s only major ally, Chinese President Xi Jinping, is set to meet with South Korean President Park Geun-hye. Seoul and Beijing have long pressed North Korea to abandon its nuclear weapons ambitions. North Korea said Friday that leader Kim Jong Un guided test launches of a newly developed precision-guided missiles, in a likely reference to three shortrange projectiles South Korean officials say the North fired a day earlier. It’s not possible to tell if this assertion about the new missiles is an exaggeration, something North Korea has frequently done in the past when trumpeting its military capability, analysts say. Its army is one of the world’s largest but is believed to be badly supplied and forced to use outdated equipment.

Still, the impoverished North devotes much of its scarce resources to missile and nuclear programs that threaten South Korea, Japan and tens of thousands of U.S. troops in the region. Outside analysts say North Korea has developed a handful of crude nuclear devices and is working toward building a warhead small enough to mount on a long-range missile, although most experts say that goal may take years to achieve.

After a brief period of warming ties earlier this year, animosity has risen on the Korean Peninsula. North Korea has in recent months threatened South Korea’s president, calling her a prostitute, and the South has vowed to hit North Korea hard if provoked. Pyongyang conducted a series of missile and artillery tests earlier this year in response to annual U.S.-South Korean military exercises it says it considers preparations for an invasion.

N. Korea to indict 2 American tourists SEOUL, South Korea (AP) — North Korea said Monday it is preparing to indict two American detainees for carrying out what it says were hostile acts against the country. Investigations into American tourists Miller Matthew Todd and Jeffrey Edward Fowle concluded that suspicions about their hostile acts have been confirmed by evidence and their testimonies, Pyongyang’s official Korean Central News Agency said. Both Americans were arrested earlier this year after entering the country as tourists. Fowle entered the county on April 29 and North Korea’s state media said in June that authorities were investigating him for committing acts inconsistent with the purpose of a tourist visit. A spokesman for Fowle’s family said the 56-year-old man from Ohio was not on a mission for his church. KCNA said Miller, 24, entered the country April 10 with a tourist visa, but tore it up and shouted that he wanted to seek asylum.

Around the World Al-Qaida breakaway formally declares establishment of Islamic state with Syria and Iraq BAGHDAD — The al-Qaida breakaway group that has seized much of northeastern Syria and huge tracts of neighboring Iraq formally declared the establishment of a new Islamic state on Sunday and demanded allegiance from Muslims worldwide. The spokesman for the Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant, Abu Mohammed al-Adnani, made the announcement in an audio statement posted online on the first day of the Muslim holy month of Ramadan. Muslim extremists have long dreamed of recreating the Islamic state, or caliphate, that ruled over the Middle East, much of North Africa and beyond in various forms over the course of Islam’s 1,400-year history. Al-Adnani declared the group’s chief, Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi, as the new leader, or caliph, and called on jihadi groups everywhere, not just those in areas under the organization’s control, to swear loyalty to al-Baghdadi and support him. “The legality of all emirates, groups, states and organizations becomes null by the expansion of the caliph’s authority and the arrival of its troops to their areas,” al-Adnani said. “Listen to your caliph and obey him. Support your state, which grows every day.” Al-Adnani loosely defined the Islamic state’s territory as running from northern Syria to the Iraqi province of Diyala — a vast stretch of land straddling the border that is already largely under the Islamic State’s control. He also said that with the establishment of the caliphate, the group was changing its name to just the Islamic State, dropping the mention of Iraq and the Levant.

5 detained in India after at least 26 die in building collapses; dozens trapped NEW DELHI — Police in southern India detained five construction company officials Sunday as rescuers using gas cutters and shovels searched for dozens of workers believed buried in the rubble of a building that collapsed during monsoon rains. It was one of two weekend building collapses that killed at least 26 people. Nearly 90 contract workers were believed to have been in the basement of the 11-story structure to collect their wages when it collapsed Saturday on the outskirts of Chennai, the capital of Tamil Nadu state. Police said eight died on the spot and another seven succumbed to injuries in a hospital. Another 20 people have been pulled out alive. J. Jayalalitha, the state’s top elected official, visited the site on Sunday and said another 40 people may still be trapped under the debris, according to the Press Trust of India news agency. Rescuers could hear feeble voices in the debris, said T.S. Sridhar, the disaster management agency commissioner. Officials used gas cutters, iron rods and shovels after cranes lifted concrete blocks to get to the survivors. — The Associated Press

The main bridge of the project, the Nigliq channel crossing, has its piling and other structure but the final span has yet to be installed. That is planned this fall. In work this summer, Brodie said a construction crew started work June 1 on tie-in work for the CD-5 pipeline at the central Alpine production facility. The work mainly involves welding. In July, construction crews will mobilize to begin contouring and shaping, and compacting, the gravel that was laid last winter. Typically gravel placed one winter on the Slope must be allowed to “season” over a summer to allow ice to melt out. After that it can used the next winter. This work will be done by Sept. 15, Brodie said. Also, a logistics and material team at Deadhorse will be receiving pipeline materials in July, including pipe sections, pipe supports and saddles. Finally, a construction crew will start work in September to prepare the placement of the final spans on the Nigliq Channel bridge. That will occur in November, Brodie said.

delaying the project and leaving CD-5 roads and bridges partly finished could create hazards for the villagers since some may be tempted to use the uncompleted facilities to reach subsistence sites. Kuukpik owns the surface mineral rights at CD-5; Arctic Slope Regional Corp., which has also intervened in the case on the side of the corps, owns the subsurface rights. The lawsuit, filed last year, claims that construction of a bridge and placement of gravel of wetlands will impair habitat important to subsistence activities by the village. The case is being watched closely by the industry and the state because CD-5 is the first commercial development in the National Petroleum ReserveAlaska, and the road and bridge infrastructure will also support ConocoPhillips’ development of other NPR-A projects including Greater Moose’s Tooth-1, or GMT-1, another project eight miles west of CD-5. If it stays on schedule, CD-5 will begin production in late 2015 and will produce 16,000 barrels per day at peak. GMT-1 is scheduled to begin producing in late 2017, with 30,000 b/d peak production, but ConocoPhillips’ board must still approve the project. The company is now working on permits for the project and a draft supplemental environmental impact statement is expected this fall from the U.S. Bureau of Land Management, which administers the federallyowned NPR-A. Trustees for Alaska, in its original lawsuit, argued the corps approved the CD-5 permit without adequately justifying a decision allowing a bridge across the Colville River, and roads to the CD-5 site, over an alternative the corps itself approved earlier for an underground pipeline crossing of the river and no road to the site. Trustees said the agency did not adequately explain why it had switched its position. “The (federal) court found the corps had failed to provide a reasoned explanation for why no supplemental NEPA (National Environmental Policy Act) analysis was necessary to address substantive project changes. The changes to align road, pad location and bridge location all have a substantive and significant bearing on the project’s impact to subsistence resources, making the failure to consider the changes significant and serious,” Trustees wrote. In its request for an injunction filed June 20, the environmental firm cited precedents where federal courts have vacated permits and ordered injunctions where similar flaws in permits were uncovered. In March this year, Gleason declined to issue an injunction to stop construction at CD-5. In its filings, ConocoPhillips outlined work that has been completed at CD-5 and activity planned for 2014. In a document filed with the court, James Brodie, ConocoPhillips’ CD-5 project manager, said the entire gravel “footprint” for the project is in place and includes the road, CD-5 pad an valve access pads. A small amount of gravel is needed on top of the Nigliq channel bridge east abutment, which will be placed next winter without expanding the footprint area. Four bridge structures were installed last winter including foundations of tubular steel pil-

The ship with nearly 3,000 people on board returned to Seattle under its own power and all hotel systems and guest services fully operational, the company said in a statement. The 82,348-ton ship was checked out by both the Coast Guard and Lloyd’s Register, an international marine consulting company, Holland America said. The Westerdam left Seattle again around 10:15 a.m. Sunday, said Public Relations Vice President Sally Andrews.

Because of the delay, Holland America has revised the 7-day sailing schedule. Passengers will miss their visit to Sitka, but will be given a credit of $250 per room to use during the cruise, Andrews said. Coast Guard petty officer George Degener told The Seattle Times the ship’s crew knocked the fire down, but a wwhile later it restarted. A combination of high-pressure mist and crew members with hoses extinguished the fire, Kyle Moore, spokesman for the Seattle Fire Department, told the paper. The city dispatched a fireboat, and a few units to the Pier 91 cruise terminal, as a precaution.

Netherlands comes back, shocks Mexico MIKE CORDER Associated Press

FORTALEZA, Brazil — The Dutch were worried about the oppressive heat at Arena Castelao, and they left it with the stifling hot conditions to thank for a spot in the World Cup quarterfinals. An inspired tactical change during the second of two official stoppages led to a late goal from Netherlands forward Wesley Sneijder and an injury-time penalty from Klaas Jan Huntelaar in a dramatic 2-1 victory over Mexico on Sunday. “I moved to ‘Plan B’ at the cooling break,” said Netherlands coach Louis van Gaal, soon to be the manager at Manchester United. “That is a good way to take advantage of those breaks.” Despite scoring 10 goals in three group matches, the Dutch again started the match with a defensive 5-3-2 system. Van Gaal made the switch to a more attacking 4-3-3 formation in the second half and tweaked it further when referee

Pedro Proenca stopped the match in the 76th minute to allow players to rehydrate. That helped turn the match around and extend Mexico’s second-round curse to six straight World Cups. “Unbelievable,” said Arjen Robben, the Netherlands forward that earned the late penalty. “Five minutes from full time, we were out.” Instead of the Dutch players, it was the Mexicans who wilted in the heat as they conceded twice as many goals in the final minutes of the match as they had in the entire group stage. “The humidity was against us, but we were fresher and fitter than the Mexicans,” Van Gaal said. “Yes, we escaped. But we showed that we could create more chances with 4-3-3, and the players handled this shift very well.” The Dutch will next face Costa Rica in the quarterfinals on Saturday in Salvador, and may have to play without midfielder Nigel de Jong, who was substituted in the ninth minute with a groin

injury. Mexico coach Miguel Herrera, one of the most popular characters at the World Cup because of his emotive ways on the sidelines, blamed Proenca for the loss and accused Robben of diving under a challenge from Rafael Marquez to earn the penalty. “Today it was the man with the whistle who eliminated us from the World Cup,” Herrera said. “If a referee invents a penalty, you’re out of the World Cup. “I hope they have a look at what happened and that this gentleman goes home just like we are.” Marquez said Robben admitted that it was a bad call, but added that the Dutchman thought he should have been awarded a spot kick for an earlier challenge. “I spoke with him after the match and he told me that it was not a penalty,” Marquez said. “He said that the first foul was a penalty and that one was not called.” Mexico has now advanced to the sec-

Oilers finish road trip at 4-5 Staff report

The Peninsula Oilers split a doubleheader with the host Mat-Su Miners on Sunday, losing the first game 4-1 before rebounding for a 10-1 victory. The Oilers end their Alaska Baseball League-opening road trip with a 4-5 record. Not counting a late game between the Fairbanks Goldpanners and Anchorage Bucs, the Oilers trail the Bucs by three games in the American League. After taking today off, the Oilers open a five-game homestand with a 7 p.m. Tuesday game against the ChugiakEagle River Chinooks at Coral Seymour Memorial Park in Kenai. The Oilers capped off the road trip by scoring the 10 runs on just six hits. The Miners made four errors in the game, as the first seven runs the Oilers put on the board were not

earned. Kyle Serrano took the loss for the Miners, going 4 1-3 innings and yielding four unearned runs on just one hit. Serrano walked three and struck out six. Hunter Rodriguez came on for Serrano and recorded just one out while giving up three unearned runs and three walks. The six runs the Oilers put on the board in the fifth inning would be more than enough for Tyler Painton. Painton pitched five innings to pick up the win, allowing seven hits and just one run while walking three and striking out two. Nolan Sheridan finished up with two scoreless innings. AJ Hernandez had three RBIs for the Oilers, while Alex Rubanowitz scored three times and Jordan Sanford scored twice. See OILERS, page A-9

That currently puts them in third place in the National Division with 28 points. Chugiak is 7-4 and 9-7 and sits in second in the National Division with 32 points. In the first game, the Twins came back for the victory. Klayton Justice got the start and went four innings, giving up six hits and seven runs — four earned. Justice hit three, walked one and struck out one. The Twins were behind 7-4

after the fourth inning, but Dallas Pierren came on to shut the Mustangs out for the rest of the game and set the stage for the comeback. Pierren gave up just one hit in relief, hitting one, walking one and striking out seven. Twins coach Hector Rivera said that without a hard thrower in the bullpen, he decided to use Pierren, who normally starts, in relief. It paid off. On offense, Kenny Griffin was 4 for 5 with three RBIs and a run; Justin Wisnewski was 3 for 4 with two RBIs and a run; JJ Sonnen was 2 for 4; and Hector A. Rivera was 2 for 5 with two runs.

A wild night at the races Pair of rollovers mark event dedicated to memory of MacCarty Jr. By JOEY KLECKA Peninsula Clarion

A midsummer sun greeted over 500 racing fans Saturday night at Twin Cities Raceway in Kenai, but as epic as the racing was, the bigger story belonged to the red No. 43 sprint car. The entire night of racing was dedicated to the memory of Collin “Cowboy” MacCarty Jr., who died from a heart attack while at the track on July 4, 2011. In honor of him, driver and longtime friend Mike Bailey raced the No. 43 in the sprint car heats, which was MacCarty’s number on the late model he drove. “‘Cowboy’ was in the seat with me, I mean, I can’t believe there’s room in there,” Bailey said after Saturday’s races. “That last race, I know

he was.” Sixty-eight years old when he died, “Cowboy” was given such a nickname due to his constant sketches of a cowboy figure that went alongside his signature or autographs he gave out at the racetrack. Coupled with the type of rugged personality that MacCarty Jr. had, the nickname naturally stuck. MacCarty Jr. was a history teacher at a few of the area high schools, and was particularly enamored with Western history, which his friends say also led to his nickname. Bailey — a native of Rockford, Illinois — finished third in the feature race Saturday night, which was all the more impressive considering it was the first time he has ever driven a sprint car in competition. Bailey usually drives in

the late model races, but Saturday’s ride was to honor his friend. “I came across this, and we got a good deal and I teamed up with Butch,” Bailey said, adding that local racer Pete Ischi was the previous owner of the sprint car. Good friend and part-owner Butch Essex, who was running the truck to push start the sprint cars, said he was thrilled to see Twin Cities Raceway honor MacCarty’s memory. “It’s really exciting, and I’m glad they let us have the memorial for ‘Cowboy,’” Essex said. “That was awesome.” MacCarty, who lived in Homer and could be seen most weekends at either Twin Cities Raceway or at Homer’s Beluga Lake in the winter for the ice races, usually drove

the powerful sprint machines, while Bailey took the reigns for the late models. “Before he bought the late model, he bought the sprint car, and I said you’re gonna have to get someone else to drive it, I don’t drive sprint cars,” Bailey said. “So he got me a late model, and we won the track championship two years in a row here. Then he took over.” Saturday night, Cameron McGahan swept all three sprint car races, ending the night with a dominant feature win. McGahan was able to find more speed than the others by arcing his No. 33 Tesoro-sponsored race car into the corners, which helped to avoid the bumps in turn one. “It was a good night, no doubt,” McGahan said. “PretSee RACE, page A-9

Kershaw whiffs 13 as Dodgers shut out Cardinals By The Associated Press

LOS ANGELES — Clayton Kershaw completed a spectacular June with 13 strikeouts during seven innings of five-hit ball, and Andre Ethier hit a three-run homer in the Los Angeles Dodgers’ 6-0 victory over the St. Louis Cardinals on Sunday. Kershaw (9-2) extended his careerbest scoreless streak to 28 innings in his first home start since throwing his first career no-hitter June 18 against Colorado. The left-hander went 6-0 with an 0.82 ERA in June, yielding four runs in 44 innings and striking out 61. Matt Kemp and Adrian Gonzalez had run-scoring hits for the Dodgers, who took three of four from St. Louis in a rematch of last season’s NL championship series.

until Buster Posey’s two-out single in the seventh inning. Bailey has thrown no-hitters in each of the last two seasons, and did it against the Giants at home last July 2. He came close to pitching the latest gem at AT&T Park — the ballpark was the scene of Tim Lincecum’s no-hitter Wednesday against San Diego. Bailey (8-4) finished with a three-hitter as the Reds completed their first fourgame sweep in San Francisco since doing it at Candlestick Park in 1972. Billy Hamilton, Brandon Phillips, Brayan Pena and Skip Schumaker drove in runs as the Reds won their season-best fifth straight and eighth in nine overall. The Giants were swept in a four-game series for the first time in their ballpark that opened in 2000.

five innings before four Red Sox relievers pitched shutout ball the rest of the way. Boston took two of three in the series to finish a 4-6 road trip and improve to 6-13 away from home this month. Mark Teixeira and Carlos Beltran homered for the Yankees, who have dropped six of eight. Rookie right-hander Chase Whitley (3-2) struggled for the second straight start, allowing five runs and eight hits in four-plus innings, as six New York pitchers combined for eight walks. Koji Uehara worked a perfect ninth for his 18th save in 19 attempts.

ASTROS 6, TIGERS 4 HOUSTON — Scott Feldman threw six strong innings, Jose Altuve had three hits and two steals, and Houston held on to beat Detroit. Feldman (4-5) allowed two runs on seven hits and a walk, while striking out four in his first win since May 26. The Astros have won three of their last four games. Altuve leads the major leagues with 116 hits and has a career high 36 stolen bases. He set a franchise record with a stolen base in six straight games with his C

swipe of second base in the first inning. Altuve also became the third player since 1904 with four straight games with multiple steals, joining Ray Chapman in 1917 and Bill Dahlen in 1904, according information from the Elias Sports Bureau provided by the Astros. Tony Sipp got the last four outs for his first save. The Astros jumped on Drew Smyly (47) early, plating three in the first.

BRAVES 3, PHILLIES 2 PHILADELPHIA — B.J. Upton tripled and drove in two runs to lead streaking Atlanta to its first four-game sweep in Philadelphia in 50 years. Gerald Laird had two hits with a double and RBI for the Braves, who won for the sixth time in seven games and ended their road trip 8-3. It was the Braves’ first fourgame sweep in Philadelphia since Sept. 24-27, 1964. It was the Braves’ first four-game sweep in Philadelphia since Sept. 24-27, 1964, when the franchise was in Milwaukee and their four wins at Connie Mack Stadium contributed to the Phillies’ infa-

mous season-ending collapse that year. Marlon Byrd hit a pair of solo home runs for the slumping Phillies, who have lost eight of 10 to drop to 10 games under .500. Aaron Harang (7-6) gave up two runs on 11 hits and two walks over seven innings. Craig Kimbrel pitched a scoreless ninth, working out of a jam for his 24th save in 28 opportunities. David Buchanan (4-4) allowed three runs over five innings to snap his threegame winning streak.

ATHLETICS 4, MARLINS 3 MIAMI — Nate Freiman hit a threerun homer in his 2014 debut and Oakland completed a three-game series sweep of Miami. The Athletics trailed 1-0 in the sixth inning before breaking out against rookie Andrew Heaney with four consecutive hits, including Freiman’s home run. Freiman, who spent all of last season with the A’s, was recalled from Triple-A Sacramento before the game when right fielder See MLB, Page A-9

In the ninth, Wisnewski had a double and Rivera had a single, then both scored on a gamewinning single from Griffin. “It was good they managed to come back and back Dallas,” Hector Rivera said. The second game got out of control when the Mustangs scored 12 times in the fourth inning.

Josh Reddick returned to the disabled list because of a right knee strain.

Ben Barton, Tyler Covey, Tommy Bowe and JJ Sonnen could not hold down Chugiak. On offense, Rivera, Griffin, Bowe and Pierren had hits, while Pierren had a pair of RBIs. Rivera said the Twins have a different schedule this year. In the past, doubleheaders typically meant a league game followed by a nonleague game. But this year, the Twins have played just one nonleague game. With 18 players on the team, Rivera said that means getting everybody involved is tough. The Twins do have two classic doubleheaders coming up. On Friday and Saturday, the Twins play 12:30 p.m. doubleheaders at Kodiak, with the first being a league game and the second nonleague.

KANSAS CITY, Mo. — Omar Infante delivered another big hit against the Angels, singling home the winning run for Kansas City with one out in the ninth inning.

An error by second baseman Howie Kendrick set up the game-ending hit by Infante, whose grand slam Friday night helped beat the Angels.

ty wild too.” Wild, indeed. The evening featured two scary rollovers that involved the No. 5 legends car of 73-yearold veteran Mike Thomas and the No. 23 sprint car of Randy Barnes of Kenai. In the second heat race in the legends division, Thomas spent almost all eight laps racing the No. 88 of Bryan Barber for the lead, but Barber ultimately ended up grabbing the victory by little more than a car length. However, moments after crossing the finish line, Barber’s car swerved left into the right side of Thomas, which sent Thomas spinning sideways. From there, Thomas’ left front tire dug into the dirt in Turn 1 and barrell-rolled through the air, eventually landing on its wheels, sheet metal scattered around it. “It was so quick, and all I saw was his car,” Thomas said in the pit area after the crash. “It seemed like it went over about three times, but I was just upset to have the car torn up.”

Barber immediately jumped out and checked on Thomas to make sure he was OK. “The wheel just felt like it was yanked out of my hands,” Barber described. “I tried to turn right, but I couldn’t correct it and hit (Thomas). “My first thought was to get out and make sure he was all right. I was more worried about him than myself.” Barber said after checking his car for potential problems that might have led to the accident, he found none. “I can’t find anything wrong with it, but some people behind said I hit a pothole or something,” Barber said. “I’m not really sure what happened.” Thomas said his initial estimate of the cost will be around $10,000 worth of damage, which will likely leave him out of next weekend’s Fourth of July races, but he’ll be back before the end of the summer. The second rollover accident of the night came in the final feature event with the sprint cars. Only five laps into the 20lap race, Barnes ran wide racing off Turn 4 and clipped the outside wall, catapulting his machine into a series of violent flips down the front stretch.

TWINS 3, RANGERS 2 ARLINGTON, Texas — Kendrys Morales had a tiebreaking double off closer Joakim Soria in the ninth inning and Minnesota snapped its 10-game road losing streak. Morales’ line drive landed just inside the foul line in left field, and a leaping security guard avoided touching the ball, allowing pinchrunner Sam Fuld to score from first base. A ground-rule double would have forced Fuld to stop at third, and Soria (1-3) struck out the final two hitters of the inning.

RAYS 12, ORIOLES 7 BALTIMORE — Matt Joyce homered twice, had a career-high five hits and drove in four runs to power Tampa Bay. Tampa Bay totaled 11 extra base hits — five homers and six doubles. The Rays trailed 4-3 before Kevin Kiermaier and Logan Forsythe went deep during a seven-run sixth inning that sent many in the crowd of 32,665 scattering toward the exits.

MIAMI (AP) — LeBron James went first. Dwyane Wade followed a few days later. And now Chris Bosh has made it a clean sweep. The Big 3, for now anyway, are free. And Pat Riley will soon have the chance to make the Miami Heat even better.

Bosh told the Heat on Sunday that he, like James and Wade, will be exercising the early termination option in his contract and forgoing the final two years on his Miami deal — making him a free agent. The move was not unexpected, and gives the Heat a gigantic amount of

financial flexibility to shop with when the free-agent window officially opens at midnight Tuesday. Bosh’s decision was the last domino that the Heat needed to fall in order to free up the biggest amount of money possible heading into free agency.

There’s a wonderful world around us. Full of fascinating places. Interesting people. Amazing cultures. Important challenges. But sadly, our kids are not getting the chance to learn about their world.

Let freedom ring from coast to coast this Fourth of July of this effort. As inscribed on the Liberty Bell, “Let us proclaim liberty throughout the land unto all the inhabitants thereof.” — CARMELLA LASPADA, FOUNDER, NO GREATER LOVE DEAR CARMELLA: I’m glad to help. I agree that shared traditions are the glue that binds us together as a nation. So read- Abigail Van Buren ers, on July Fourth, take a moment to quietly reflect on what this holiday is all about. Then make a joyful noise and thank God for his blessings on our country and the freedoms we enjoy today. That’s the American spirit!

ing the card for the purpose for which it was intended. Buying things that aren’t for the family but for her personal enjoyment wasn’t our agreement. I’m not sure how to approach her about this without it becoming an argument. She has a spending problem. I recently found a job, so I contribute financially to the household. This is something that has been thrown in my face every time we talk about money. I want to see the statement so I can compare who spent how much on what, but when I ask to see it, she gets defensive. — IN THE DARK IN MICHIGAN DEAR IN THE DARK: If the credit card is in your name, then you are responsible for anything that is purchased with it. The statements are addressed to you, and you have a right to see them. That your fiancee is refusing to show them to you is a sure sign that she has something to hide. DEAR ABBY: My fiancee and I share a credit card That’s why you must take the card away from that was opened under my name. I use it for gas and her to ensure that she isn’t putting you into a fihousehold or family needs. She uses it for personal nancial hole you won’t be able to dig yourself out things such as buying dolls for her collection. of. And because the lady can’t seem to control her I was informed that I will no longer be able to use spending, I’m urging you to think long and hard the card after the last statement we got. (I had spent before marrying her, because after you do, you will more than $100 on gas for the month.) I feel I am us- be responsible for her debts.

Hints from Heloise

Jacqueline Bigar’s Stars

Rubes

HHHH It could be nearly impossible to deal with someone’s negativity, as this person affects your daily life. Maintain a positive focus, and allow your creativity to flourish. Brainstorming with others who have similar mind-sets can add to the possibilities. Tonight: Catch up on news. CANCER (June 21-July 22) HHH You are likely to sit on any feelings that are uncomfortable. Be aware of your spending right now, as you easily could go overboard. Ultimately, you know that you do not want to deal with the consequences of overindulging. Tonight: Try not to yell at anybody! LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) HHHH Listen carefully to someone else’s ideas. You might have some questions that need to be clarified. An unexpected opportunity could come in from out of left field. Think before you act, even if you feel good about it. Remember, there are always consequences! Tonight: As you like. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) HHHH Much seems to be going on behind the scenes. For now, it is best to keep information you have to yourself. When a close associate or loved one surprises you with the unexpected, you might wonder how you didn’t see it coming. Tonight: Take a night just for you. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) HHHH You will want to consider a friend’s offer that previously was not on the table. You also will want to have a long-overdue conversation. A problem could surround you and a loved one. Be more forthright, but don’t lose your temper. Tonight: Just don’t be alone.

By Leigh Rubin

Ziggy

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) HHHH You’ll succeed beyond your wildest dreams, as you finally will be able to move a work or health matter past a stagnant point. You are full of ideas. Work with them and brainstorm with others, and your course will be easier and more fruitful. Tonight: A must appearance. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) HHHH Someone could get angry if you don’t follow through as he or she would like you to. You have the ability to read between the lines, so make it OK to be more open and spontaneous. Tonight: You become impervious to someone who is still pleading his or her case. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) HHHH You might feel as if a loved one has pushed you hard the past few days. Resist telling this person off, and instead root out the real issue. The situation becomes much easier once you do. If you decide to take the lead in a project, you could be shocked by the results. Tonight: Dinner for two. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) HHHH You might want to be more open with others. Your thinking is far-reaching, though you have a tendency to think you’re always right. A conversation with someone could help you see other possibilities. Tonight: Reach out to a friend to catch up on his or her news. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) HHHH A loved one might be pushing too hard to have the outcome he or she wants in a controversial discussion the two of you have been having. Observe the different approaches this person attempts, and maintain a sense of humor. Tonight: Get a head start on a project.

The titanic towels Dear Readers: Here is this week’s Sound Off, about the big size of towels: “I have a complaint about the large size of bath towels. I still use a very old bath towel that is a manageable size. It is perfect for wrapping my long hair on top of my head when I get out of the shower. I can’t do this with a heavy, oversized bath towel, and a hand towel is too small. My husband loves the bigger bath towels, but he’s tall and I’m not. I can’t find a smaller bath towel like they used to make.” — Louise K., Ventura, Calif. That can be a hassle! Try asking a store employee, or look online for smaller towels. Some companies even make specific towels just for wrapping up wet hair. — Heloise Fast Facts Dear Readers: Here are places to try to donate old books that you no longer want: * Nursing or assisted-living homes. * Schools — either the library, or ask teachers. * Give away to friends. * Donate to town libraries. * Start a lending library in your neighborhood. — Heloise

SUDOKU

By Tom Wilson

By Dave Green

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

Converted sheets Dear Heloise: We received an abundance of sheets for wedding gifts. So, I made bedroom curtains from a top sheet. They converted nicely at our next apartment by adding trim at the bottom and making a valance to match. They lasted more than 10 years and four moves. — A Reader, via email

2014 Conceptis Puzzles, Dist. by King Features Syndicate, Inc.

A baby born today has a Sun in Cancer and a Moon in Leo. HAPPY BIRTHDAY for Monday, June 30, 2014: This year you will actively pursue a change on the home front. You might be eyeing a new addition or a different home, but you will go for what you want. You also are likely to receive a pay raise or promotion. If you are single, you will want to get very close to a potential suitor, and you even might consider living together. Don’t push too hard to take a relationship to the next level; otherwise, your plans could backfire. If you are attached, the two of you greet life from a far more dynamic perspective. As a couple, you spend many hours laughing and enjoying each other. LEO pushes you to achieve your goals. The Stars Show the Kind of Day You’ll Have: 5-Dynamic; 4-Positive; 3-Average; 2-So-so; 1-Difficult ARIES (March 21-April 19) HHH You might feel out of sorts when you get up, but you could decide to blame it on everyone else. You have the ability to turn this situation around. Fatigue seems to mark a partnership. Each of you knows the other’s defenses too well. Tonight: Go along with a suggestion. TAURUS (April 20-May 20) HHH Observe a situation involving your domestic life. Your ability to let go and allow others to do what they wish could be tested. Understand that people sometimes need to test their limits and ideas. Allow a roommate or family member to go through that experience. Tonight: At home. GEMINI (May 21-June 20)

DEAR ABBY: At 2 p.m., July Fourth, I would love nothing better than for all Americans to stop briefly and give our country a ring ... well, THREE rings to be exact. On July 4, 1963, President John F. Kennedy proclaimed the ringing of bells nationwide with the words, “Let’s ring freedom bells!” I was a White House aide then, and I vividly recall how exciting it was when bells rang across the nation coast to coast. Since then, many Americans have forgotten to keep the tradition going. Let’s start again! From one American to another, I ask all citizens to help me revive the ringing of bells at 2 p.m. this July Fourth in celebration of the adoption of the Declaration of Independence. It’s easy. Ring a bell, shake your keys, tap a glass or find a bell-ringing app on your smartphone. It will give our country a much-needed sense of unity and connection to our past as one nation, one people. The Ironworkers, Sheet Metal Workers and Firefighters International Unions of the AFL-CIO, The National Cartoonists Society and Malmark Inc. have joined with No Greater Love in this special celebration of our freedom and the guardians who protect us — our troops, firefighters and police. Please, Abby, make your millions of readers aware
