In the news Coast Guard frees sailboat trapped in Arctic ice ANCHORAGE — The U.S. Coast Guard has freed a Canadian sailboat that became trapped in Arctic ice off the north coast of Alaska. KTUU-TV reports the 36-foot Altan Girl out of Vancouver was attempting to sail to eastern Canada through the Northwest Passage. It became trapped in ice 40 miles northeast of Barrow, the northernmost city in the United States. The Coast Guard cutter Healy reached the sailboat, and with the Altan Girl in tow, on Saturday cut a 12-mile path through ice to open water. The sailboat’s owner says he intends to wait in Barrow for better weather and to restock supplies. The Healy is on a National Science Foundationfunded research mission in the Arctic. The Coast Guard says the cutter is continuing with its research. — The Associated Press

No wake zone Kenai launches new enforcment boat

By DAN BALMER Peninsula Clarion

With boat traffic around the mouth of the Kenai River nearing its summer peak, the City of Kenai has obtained a new rescue patrol boat that will prove to be a valuable addition to its arsenal. The Kenai Fire Department launched a 22-foot rigid hull red inflatable boat at the start of the Kenai River dipnet season to assist in the enforcement of the no wake zone ordinance for boaters along the VIP subdivision side of the river during high tide. When the tide reaches 20.5

feet high, a flashing light is activated on three buoys to inform boaters to slow down to five miles per hour through the area. The ordinance, passed in April by the Kenai City Council, came as a result of residents who voiced their concerns of bank erosion and property damage created from boat wakes through the milelong river channel the length of Watergate Way. Kenai Battalion Chief Tony Prior said the target area is patrolled only during high tide with one boat operator from the

fire department and two police officers on board for enforcement. On Monday, Kenai Fire Department boat operator Courtney Lehl, escort Kenai Police Sergeant Jay Sjogren and seasonal enforcement officer Gabe Boyle took to the river and reminded boaters of the new regulation. “Guys running fast on boats creates problems for people going upstream and downstream,” Prior said. “People are glad to see us out there because they know when you get that many people on See WAKE, page A-5

NOME (AP) — An oil spill response drill is set to take place at Port Clarence northwest of Nome on Wednesday in a region where industrial projects are proposed. Spill response company Alaska Chadux is among those participating in the exercise near Teller and Brevig Mission, KNOM reported. “It’s a new place for an exercise like this,” said Chadux general manager Matt Melton. “Obviously the remoteness of Nome and Teller and Brevig brings some different challenges.” The goal is to deploy equipment from Nome to Teller over the 72-mile road connecting the two communities. Participants will put deflection boom on the Port Clarence side to simulate a fuel spill and try to keep it out of Grantley Harbor, Melton said. Other participants are the Alaska Department of Conservation, and Gay Sheffield, a marine biologist with the University of Alaska Fairbanks marine advisory program. The conservation department considers the drill a small-scale version of a larger exercise the agency would like to try in a year. The idea is to get a better sense of how far or close stakeholders actually are in case of an industrial accident near the Bering Strait. Sheffield, who is volunteering to observe wildlife during Wednesday’s drill, said the exercise will help establish the degree of readiness in the region. “It’s a win-win: if the drill is a success then we’ll know we See DRILL, page A-5

States told to clear Man kills prowling bear Medicaid backlog By DAN BALMER Peninsula Clarion

By JUDY LIN Associated Press

SACRAMENTO, Calif. — A half-dozen states with backlogs for Medicaid enrollees were facing a federal deadline Monday to create plans for getting those low-income residents enrolled in health coverage. The federal Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services sent letters dated June 27 to Alaska, California, Kansas, Michigan, Missouri and Tennessee asking those states to address gaps in their eligibility and enrollment systems that have delayed access to coverage for poor and disabled people. The letters were sent months after the first national sign-up drive under President Barack Obama’s health reform law. The letters stated that those states had 10 days to come up with a response plan, but health advocates say there is no clear deadline for actually clearing the backlog. The federal government “will remain in close contact with states to monitor their progress to ensure that they

are facilitating Medicaid enrollment for those individuals eligible,” agency spokeswoman Marilyn Jackson said in a statement. California had the largest backlog of 900,000 people in its Medicaid program as of May, out of 1.9 million people who enrolled. The state Department of Health Care Services reported that the backlog has been reduced to 600,000 as of Monday. “We’ve been proud of much of what California has done to implement health reform, but we’re fundamentally concerned about people who need care and can’t access it — people who are going without care, people who are getting medical bills even though they’re eligible for Medi-Cal — that’s all happening today,” said Elizabeth Landsberg, an advocate with the Western Center on Law and Poverty. California’s information technology problems stem from communication gaps between the state and county welfare See HEALTH, page A-5

A Sterling man killed a 9-foot brown bear with a pistol after the bear attempted to break into his home multiple times in the early morning of July 7. Jim Landess and his 17-year-old son Montana Landess awoke at about 3:30 a.m. to the sound of a brown bear knocking on his house on Bunno Road on the east edge of Sterling. “There was some loud banging on one of my windows in the first level and pounding on my walls which shook the whole house,” Landess wrote in an email. “My son was sleeping downstairs and stood up to be eyelevel with a 9-foot brown bear looking at him through the dinning room window.” Landess said he looked outside his upstairs window and saw the bear peaking over the bed of his pickup truck. He yelled at the bear and his dog barked, which caused the bear to run into the woods. Landess said he walked C

into the woods and told his son to keep an eye on the bear so he could grab a gun from his truck. While he went to get a gun outside, the bear circled around to the end of his driveway and started to walk back toward him. Both Landess and his son shot a couple rounds off and the bear scattered back into the woods. “We went back inside assuming this was just a routine

of scaring off another bear as we do almost every summer,” he said. After going to bed for the night, Landess received an early morning wake up call from the bear. At about 6 a.m. he heard more banging in front of the house as the bear attempted to get inside. “I couldn’t believe that it came back,” he said. See BEAR, page A-5

Pro-Begich group raises $3.6M during 2nd quarter JUNEAU (AP) — The super PAC Put Alaska First brought in $3.6 million during the last quarter and spent a huge chunk of it on ads against Republican U.S. Senate hopeful Dan Sullivan. Put Alaska First, which is supporting Democratic Sen. Mark Begich, spent slightly more than it brought in from April to June, leaving it with about $5,100. The haul was huge compared to the first quarter of 2014, when Put Alaska First brought in about $500,000. The group has typically ended its reporting periods with relatively little cash available. It has been largely funded by the Senate Majority PAC, which is run by former aides to Democratic Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid. And it’s consistently hit at Sullivan, one of the three most prominent GOP contenders heading into next month’s primary.

Palin PAC donations don’t include Alaska race JUNEAU (AP) — Sarah Palin’s political action committee gave $40,000 to congressional candidates during the last quarter but none from Alaska. Palin, a former Alaska governor, has not weighed in on the Republican race for U.S. Senate in the state. In 2010, she backed tea party favorite Joe Miller in a race won with a write-in campaign by incumbent Republican Sen. Lisa Murkowski.

Survivor doesn’t remember strike By DAN ELLIOTT Associated Press

DENVER — Justin Teilhet doesn’t remember hearing a boom or feeling a sting, just waking up numb on the treeless tundra high in Rocky Mountain National Park and discovering his good friend was trying to revive his wife. It was a lightning bolt, he learned later, and it killed his wife and left him with a burn on his shoulder and scrapes on his face when he was knocked to the ground unconscious. Lightning killed two people last weekend in the popular park, where summer storms can close in quickly with deadly results. Both lightning strikes last weekend hit exposed areas with little cover near the heavily traveled Trail Ridge Road, which offers 360-degree views of snow-covered mountains, forested canyons and alpine lakes. The park, about 65 miles northwest of Denver, draws around 3 million people a year, and numerous signs warn visitors of lightning danger and rapidly changing weather. Rebecca Teilhet, 42, of Yellow Springs, Ohio, was killed Friday while hiking on the Ute Crossing Trail at about 11,400 feet above sea level. Justin Teilhet and six other hikers were injured. One day later and a few miles away, lightning killed 52-year-old Gregory Cardwell of Scottsbluff, Nebraska, at Rainbow Curve, a pullout on Trail Ridge Road with sweep-

ing vistas from a vantage point about 10,800 feet above sea level. Three others were hurt by that strike. Colorado averages three deaths and 15 injuries a year from lightning and often ranks No. 2 in the nation in lightning casualties, behind Florida, said Bob Glancy, a National Weather Service meteorologist in Boulder. “Part of that is because Colorado is a great place to be outside,” he said. The terrain and weather also are factors. The mountain profile and summer weather patterns create frequent thunderstorms over the Front Range, which includes Rocky Mountain National Park. Teilhet, his wife and his friend Nick Tertel of Fort Collins, Colorado, were in a line of hikers hustling back to the trailhead parking lot on Trail Ridge Road as the weather changed. “A storm blew in, and it came very fast,” Teilhet said Monday from his home in Ohio. “It started raining a little bit. We were hearing claps of thunder everywhere, but it there wasn’t any lightning.” The next thing he remembers is struggling to lift his body from the ground, with one side numb. “I was walking, and then I was trying to stand up,” he said, with no memory of anything in between. “When I found Nick trying to revive my wife, I crawled to them and tried to help.” Tertel also was injured but gave Rebecca Teilhet CPR and kept her alive until paramedics arrived, Justin Teilhet said.

Stein asked the wearers to imagine selves in her art. She creates full-length wearable sculptures embedded with all manner of found objects, including driftwood, engraving plates, steel wire, zippers, pebbles and comic book imagery of superheroes. Her idea grew out of her sense of vulnerability after the Sept. 11 attacks, with the aim of giving wearers a sense of empowerment and protection. Her targets are any form of institutionalized oppression, such as sexism, racism and homophobia.

It’s very hard to find a female superhero that’s not violent and isn’t a total sex object,” Stein said. The representation of gender and sexual identity is a longstanding tradition in activist art that dates back to the feminist movement, said Muhlenberg College art history professor Margo Hobbs.

What Others Say

Alaska needs to diversify During the past few months you’ve

read a great deal about Ballot Measure 1 on these pages, and for the next month leading up to the primary election Aug. 19, you’ll continue to. The measure, which would repeal Gov. Sean Parnell’s recently-passed oil tax reforms, is hailed by supporters as a return to a fairer tax scheme. Opponents say that repealing the oil tax reforms would cripple the state’s economy and undo progress made in stemming the decline of oil production on the North Slope. The two sides disagree on nearly every major tenet of the measure’s effects. They disagree about whether Gov. Parnell’s reforms constitute a “giveaway” to oil producers. They disagree about whether new development on the North Slope was planned before the passage of Senate Bill 21 or came in response to the bill. They disagree about whether shaking up the state’s oil tax structure again so soon after the passage of a new regime will make companies skittish about investing in the state. But there’s one thing both sides agree on: oil tax revenues are the lifeblood of Alaska’s economy. And that’s why when state leaders propose altering the mechanisms that bring in those revenues, the fight is so bitter, widespread and loud. Even small tweaks to the oil tax formula can have outsized effects on budgets for state-funded services like education, transportation and public safety. Our state’s economic ship floats or sinks depending on the level of that oil and gas money — it comprises 92 percent of the state’s unrestricted revenues, and a third of the state’s jobs. Given that fact, it’s easy to understand the hue and cry when law changes are proposed that would affect that cash cow. Before the discovery of oil on the North Slope, Alaska wasn’t nearly so rich a state. Even with a state income tax (which Gov. Jay Hammond ditched in 1980 after the oil ship had come in), state revenues were far lower than modern levels, as were state services and population. The billions of dollars in oil wealth that came to the state after crude began flowing down the pipeline gave the state freedom to lower the tax burden on its citizens and greatly expand infrastructure and services. But as is often the case in states where one industry dominates the economy, the things you own can start to own you. We now depend on that revenue at least as much as — and likely a great deal more than — the producers need the oil that remains on the North Slope to maintain their profits. It’s not a comfortable position for the state. Whether or not Ballot Measure 1 passes in August, it’s a stipulated fact that the Prudhoe Bay oil patch — which provides the bulk of state oil and gas revenues — is a mature field. While Gov. Parnell’s oil tax reforms may provide a meaningful incentive for producers to develop more oil there, the end of the field’s useful life will come within the lifespan of many Alaskans alive today. Given the state’s revenue picture before the oil started flowing, that’s an existential threat to our state’s economy as it exists today, and a clear sign that we can’t depend on oil forever. Even a fulldiameter natural gas line — the great white elephant that state leaders have chased since the trans-Alaska oil pipeline was under construction — wouldn’t provide the same kind of revenue that oil does. That means Alaska has to work as hard as possible to develop and sustainably maintain the renewable resources that currently contribute to the state’s bottom line, such as fish and timber. And it needs to develop industries and sectors of the economy that can begin to shift the balance of state revenues away from their current domination by oil and gas. And in the meantime, we need to make choices that will give the state as much time as possible to make that transition, because it’s not likely to be simple to find a solution or easy to adopt it.

Don’t fence me in

At last, an Obama administration official has come out in favor of a fence. He promises it will bring security to people on both sides of the border. Unfortunately, Philip Gordon, National Security Council coordinator for the Middle East, North Africa and the Gulf, was not speaking of a border fence between the United States and Mexico, but a fence between the West Bank and the 1967 Israeli border. That fence, he said, would be built after Israel relinquishes the territory in exchange for an empty promise of “peace” with the Palestinians. Apparently Gordon hasn’t noticed that missiles fly over fences. If anyone needs more proof that the land-for-peace formula was stillborn when first proposed, Gaza is the latest example. Israel’s unilateral withdrawal from Gaza in 2005 ensured Hamas would establish a terrorist base from which it now fires missiles indiscriminately at Israeli cities. Perhaps the most laughable part of Gordon’s speech to the Ha’aretz Israel Conference for Peace was this line: “Israel should not take for granted the opportunity to negotiate that peace with (Palestinian President Mahmoud) Abbas, who has shown time and again that he is committed to nonviolence and coexistence with Israel.” Not really. Among the region’s great fictions is that Abbas is more moderate than Hamas and other militants. He may occasionally talk that way for Western consumption, but his intentions and words to his own people prove otherwise. Last week in a Facebook posting, as reported by Palestinian Media Watch, an

Letters to the Editor Wasteful spending calls for change in representatives So, the new LIO “Taj Mahawker” in Anchorage is going to get $500,000 in new furniture. For this nice little spending spree, we can thank the members of the Legislative Council, which includes Speaker Chenault and Senator Micciche. Of course, this elite group had already authorized $100,000 for furniture design, so the new office furniture expenditure will be a measly $600,000. Wonder if they are getting gold inlay on the chairs? Oh, and they also approved the highest bid of $343,246 for the purchase of new audio/ visual equipment for the grotesquely expensive downtown Anchorage office. The rent for this extravagance will be over $280,000 per month, which is four times the current rent of $57,000 for the office in Eagle River. Outrageous? You bet it is, but this is small potatoes, comparatively speaking.

Since the love fest started between the majority in the legislature and the corporate world, there have been some extremely offensive spending bills passed this year. SB 21 is the most offensive, in my view. Why does the state need to give tax break “incentives” to some of the richest companies in the world? They aren’t going to pull up their drills and go home if they don’t get more tax breaks regardless of what you hear from the “Vote No” group, which happens to be funded primarily by BP, ConocoPhillips and Exxon. These companies have made extraordinary profits from our oil resources so they aren’t going anywhere. Employees of the oil companies determined the outcome of this bill with their “yes” votes. The Republican majority is about as fiscally conservative as a mosquito sucking blood from an Alaskan, and they are on track to suck every resource this state has unless we vote them out of office. Just some of the spending bills passed by these Republican controlled “fiscal conservatives,” include: SB 21, which

Israeli research institute that studies Palestinian society, Ofir Gendelman the spokesman to the Arab media in Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s office, asked Abbas in Arabic if he saw reconCal Thomas ciliation with Hamas as a means to fight Israel. Gendelman’s post included a cartoon of Hamas and Fatah fighters smiling, shaking hands and aiming rifles at an Israeli soldier. “To his question about uniting to fight Israel,” writes PMW, “Fatah posted its answer” ‘Yes, this is what we want.’” This is consistent with many other statements and also with what is being taught in Palestinian schools and carried by Palestinian media, which is controlled by Fatah, including the “joys” of martyrdom. Palestinian leaders have no intention of agreeing to the Western “two-state” peace plan. A recent poll commissioned by The Washington Institute for Near East Policy found that 60 percent of Palestinian Arabs living in the West Bank and Gaza have a “five-year national goal” of “reclaiming all of historic Palestine from the (Jordan) river to the (Mediterranean) sea.” Past talk of a “greater Israel” with biblical boundaries from the Nile Valley to the Euphrates River has been denounced as genocidal, not to mention fantastical. But when Palestinian Arabs make “historic” claims to expansive borders for a state of their own, replacing Israel, there is si-

lence. In his speech, Gordon claimed, Palestinians have “...a right to be a sovereign, free, and secure people in their own land.” Where does that “right” come from? Using such logic, perhaps the United States should cede Texas to Mexico, which it eventually annexed after Texas’ war of independence in 1836. The rest of America might be ceded to Britain, or to Native Americans. Gordon repeated the oft-heard statement that the United States is “Israel’s greatest defender and closest friend,” but friends don’t ask friends to commit suicide, which is precisely what the false doctrine of moral equivalency would bring to the Jewish state. Israel’s self-defense actions in Gaza are more than justified. Calls for an immediate cease-fire will only allow the terrorists to rearm with even more deadly and sophisticated weapons that could overcome Israel’s Iron Dome defense system. While the world is pre-occupied with “civilian” deaths in Gaza (rockets are deliberately launched in areas inhabited by “civilians,” who are used as human shields), few seem concerned about Israeli casualties, now or in past terrorist attacks. Polls show sympathies shifting in favor of Israel. Hamas may have made a tactical and political mistake in its latest assault on Israel, allowing those who can be persuaded to understand their true intentions.

is a nightmare for the state budget, but a gift to the oil companies. HB 287, the tax credits for the oil refineries in the state at the tune of $10 million a year for each refinery. SB 99, the $250 million in state-funded loans to finance risky mining projects in Southeast that couldn’t get financing through regular channels. Alaskans have been told we must tighten our fiscal belts. Really? Perhaps the Republican majority should take their own advice. We can return control of our state government to the citizens by electing people who truly want to represent us. Three local candidates offer a change from this wasteful spending; Shauna Thornton for House District 30, Rocky Knudsen for House District 29 and Eric Treider for Senate District O. I think we must change the make-up of the legislature so the focus will be on Alaskans, not corporations. Michele Vasquez Soldotna

. . . Wake

Around the World Egypt proposes temporary cease-fire in Mideast conflict CAIRO — Egypt presented a cease-fire plan Monday to end a week of heavy fighting between Israel and Hamas militants in the Gaza Strip that has left at least 185 people dead. The proposal marked the most serious attempt yet by international mediators to end the conflict. A senior Hamas official said the group was open to the plan. Israel had no immediate reaction, but local media quoted officials as saying the government was considering it seriously. Israel is demanding guarantees of an extended period of quiet, while Hamas seeks an easing of an Israeli-Egyptian blockade on Hamas-controlled Gaza. Israel launched the offensive last Tuesday, saying it was a response to weeks of heavy rocket fire out of Hamas-ruled Gaza. Palestinian medical officials say 185 people, including dozens of civilians, have been killed. The Israelis have suffered no fatalities, thanks in large part to a new rocket-defense system that has intercepted dozens of incoming projectiles. With the death toll mounting, both sides have come under increasing international pressure to halt the fighting.

Afghanistan back from brink, candidate says contenders will work for unity KABUL, Afghanistan — One of two contestants in Afghanistan’s deadlocked presidential election told The Associated Press on Monday that a U.S.-brokered deal for a full ballot audit pulled the country back from the brink and put government legitimacy back on track. Former Finance Minister Ashraf Ghani Ahmadzai, speaking in his first interview since the agreement was reached Saturday with his rival, former Foreign Minister Abdullah Abdullah, said the deal has laid the foundation for a national unity government. Ahmadzai said he and Abdullah will meet face to face at his home Tuesday to talk and begin fleshing out the framework for that government with participation from both camps and all communities, and he will later be hosted in turn by Abdullah. The former finance minister said his fears of a return to Afghanistan’s darkest days helped motivate the two politicians’ agreement. He said he is determined Afghanistan will not be torn apart as it was during the wars of the 1990s nor as Iraq is being torn apart today by the Sunni insurgency against the Shiite-dominated government of Prime Minister Nouri al-Maliki.

Citigroup agrees to $7B settlement over mortgages to settle federal investigation

WASHINGTON — Citigroup agreed Monday to pay $7 billion to settle a federal investigation into its handling of risky subprime mortgages, admitting to a pattern of deception that Attorney General Eric Holder said “shattered lives” and contributed to the worst financial crisis in decades. The settlement represents a moment of reckoning for one of the country’s biggest and most significant banks, which is now accountable for providing some financial support to Americans whose lives were dismantled by the largest economic meltdown since the Great Depression. In addition to a $4 billion civil penalty being paid to the federal government, the bank will also pay $2.5 billion in consumer relief to help borrowers who lost their homes to foreclosure and about $500 million to settle claims from state attorneys general and the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation. The agreement does not preclude the possibility of criminal prosecutions for the bank or individual employees in the future, Holder said. The $7 billion settlement, which represents about half of Citigroup’s $13.7 billion profit last year, is the latest substantial penalty sought for a bank or mortgage company at the epicenter of the housing crisis. The Justice Department, criticized for not being aggressive enough in targeting financial misconduct, has in the last year reached a $13 billion deal with JPMorgan Chase & Co., the nation’s largest bank, and also sued Bank of America Corp. for misleading investors in its sale of mortgage-linked securities.

Bowe Bergdahl, who spent 5 years as Taliban captive, returned to regular Army duty WASHINGTON — The Army has given Sgt. Bowe Bergdahl a desk job, ending the formal phase of his transition from Taliban prisoner to not-quite-ordinary soldier, and setting the stage for Army investigators to question the Idaho native about his disappearance that led to five years in captivity. In a brief statement Monday, the Army said Bergdahl has been assigned to U.S. Army North at Joint Base San AntonioFort Sam Houston in Texas. Bergdahl has been decompressing and recuperating from the effects of captivity since his arrival there from a military base in Germany. Since he was handed over to U.S. special forces in Afghanistan on May 31, he has been debriefed for any possible intelligence he might have gleaned in his time with the Taliban. Otherwise, he has been gently coaxed back into a normal routine and a normal life, both physically and psychologically. Bergdahl’s case is one of the most extraordinary of recent times — for the length of his captivity, for his apparent decision to abandon his unit during a combat deployment, and for the controversy triggered by the circumstances of his release May 31. It’s not clear when Bergdahl will face investigators on the disappearance probe, whose findings will help determine whether the 28-year-old is prosecuted for desertion or faces any other disciplinary action. The probe is headed by Maj. Gen. Kenneth R. Dahl, deputy commanding general of 1st Corps at Joint Base Lewis McChord in Washington state.

Questions on link between drilling industry’s injection wells and earthquakes FORT WORTH, Texas — States where hydraulic fracturing is taking place have seen a surge in earthquake activity, raising suspicions that the unconventional drilling method could be to blame, especially the wells where the industry disposes of its wastewater. Fracking generates vast amounts of wastewater, far more than traditional drilling methods. The water is pumped into 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. Oklahoma has recorded nearly 250 small-to-medium earthquakes since January, according to statistics kept by the U.S. Geological Survey. That’s close to half of all the magnitude 3 or higher earthquakes recorded this year in the continental United States. A study published earlier this month in the journal Science suggests that just four wells injecting massive amounts of drilling wastewater into the ground are probably shaking up much of the state, accounting for one out of every five quakes from the eastern border of Colorado to the Atlantic coast. — The Associated Press

the river there is the potential of bad things happening.” The boat is owned by Central Emergency Services, who acquired the vessel for $108,000, with approximately $100,750 paid with a state grant, said CES Health and Safety Officer Brad Nelson. The boat replaced a 30-year-old riverboat that was housed at the Sterling CES Station, Nelson said. The new boat is intended for deep-water operations and will be kept at the Kenai Fire Department because of its proximity to the Kenai boat launch, Nelson said. “Having it here in a centralized location is good not only for patrols but rescues as well,” Nelson said. “So many agencies have access to it. This is an example of how we all can work together to better protect the public.” Prior said six firefighters have taken Swiftwater Rescue Courses, a three-day training course that prepares first responders to make an effective rescue. By the end of September, the entire department will be trained. Prior knows from personal experience how valuable a new rescue boat can be for the community. Last August a commercial fishing vessel capsized in rough seas at the mouth of the Kenai River and sent two men into the water. When the Kenai Fire Department was dispatched to respond, their boat

Landess grabbed his highpoint .45 pistol stepped out onto his upper deck, took aim and fired seven rounds toward the bear’s vitals. He said the bear “got crazy” and started running about 50 feet before it collapsed and died. Landess said while he has seen bears around his property in the past living in close proximity to the Kenai National Wildlife Refuge, he had never experienced one this aggressive. He said he didn’t have any food around his house that could have attracted the bear but did have an empty cooler on his porch that the bear tossed around along with some chairs. He said this was the first big game he’s ever killed. “I’m not a hunter; I’m a

systems. Many counties have reported trouble accessing state information necessary to process applications for Medi-Cal, the state’s version of the Medicaid safety net program. Norman Williams, a spokesman for the California Department of Health Care Services, said the volume of applications also contributed to the backlog. The group Health Consumer Alliance sent a letter to California Gov. Jerry Brown earlier this month with a list of recommendations, such as granting presumptive eligibility to all applicants who have waited more than 45 days, the federal timeline for determining eligibility. The group has been hearing from people whose applications are stalled even though they need medical care. Mark Mullin, 36, an unemployed printing pressman from Whittier, California, applied for health coverage in February and was told his Medi-Cal application was being reviewed. On July 5, he ended up in the emergency room after two days of excruciating pain and had an appendectomy. He’s now anxious about getting a big hospital bill and hasn’t made a follow-up appointment to see a doctor. “I’m stressed out; I’m a wreck,” said Mullin, who could only afford to fill one of his four prescriptions from the surgery. “I don’t know how I’m going to deal with it. I don’t have an income, and I can’t look for a job because I’m not well.” His case remains in limbo. Health advocates say Medi-Cal should cover his hospital stay, prescriptions and follow-up visits, but he could be billed in the meantime.

wouldn’t start and it took 40 minutes before the fishermen were saved. Prior said the Coast Guard has authority to navigate the Kenai River mouth waterways but nobody is stationed in the area, leaving Kenai and Nikiski as first responders. With the commercial fleet and pleasure boaters on the water all summer, he said it is important to patrol the no wake area and make sure everyone is safe. The new boat, marked with the CES emblem, has twinpowered 115 horsepower Yamaha motors. “This boat allows us to get out in the (Cook) Inlet and pick up more people as quick as we can,” he said. “It is designed to cut through bigger waves. It is stable and a safer ride for us.” Prior said the department still has a 19-foot boat, a Lucas Hurricane 500 inflatable boat with a fiberglass hull they bought from the Nikiski Fire Department. The boat is 20 years old and has patches to seal the tubes, but its still a great boat, he said. The city has requested state money to purchase a new boat, he said. With hundreds of boats in the river mouth, Prior said it is vital that people use situational awareness. He cautions people to not operate a boat while tired or drinking alcohol and always wear a life jacket. He said when people fall into 40-degree water, they have 10 minutes to get out before their muscles freeze up. After an hour, hypothermia sets in and people are unable to function.

fisherman,” he said. “It wasn’t something I wanted to do. I wanted to scare him off.” After his adrenaline slowed down, Landess called the Alaska State Wildlife Troopers. Troopers advised him to skin the bear and bring in the hide, head and feet into the Alaska Department of Fish and Game office. The bear was a male, estimated to be five years old. Fish and Game area biologist Jeff Selinger said law requires people to bring in the hide and skull and fill out a defense of life and property report. While the bear didn’t get into any food left out, if it has learned from other residences about a food source, a bear can become more persistent, he said. “It sounds like he tried to scare it off,” Selinger said. “You can do everything right at a residence, but if the bear has learned from other places where to obtain food sources Alaska submitted its mitigation plan Monday saying it will continue to work on a new eligibility system for workers to make Medicaid determinations. So did Kansas. Angela Minicuci, a spokeswoman at the Michigan Department of Community Health, said the state is working with the federal government to address technology issues. She said Michigan has enrolled 323,000 residents into the Healthy Michigan Plan, exceeding its 322,000 target for the year. “We will continue to work to ensure Michiganders have access to health care coverage needed to lead healthy, productive lives,” Minicuci said. Missouri said its staff had completed 39,000 of the 51,600 applications that have come through the federally run marketplace since February. Joseph Parks, director of the Missouri Department of Social Services, said only 8 percent of those applicants have been found to be eligible. “The current transfer standards would appear to give too many applicants a false expectation of coverage under Missouri’s Medicaid Program,” Parks wrote in his response Monday. The states facing the federal deadline are a mix of those that opted to expand Medicaid under the Affordable Care Act and those that did not. Obama’s health reform law led to the signup of about 8 million people in private health care coverage through the insurance exchanges, while an additional 3 million people enrolled in Medicaid, the state-federal program for the poor and lowincome. The federal government initially picks up the full tab for the Medicaid expansion, which was accepted by about half the states. C

Oilers nip Bucs, stop losing streak at 8 Staff report

After a defeat Sunday stretched the Oilers’ losing streak to eight, head coach Kyle Richardson stressed the need for clutch hitting. His team answered the call Monday in a 7-4 victory over the Anchorage Bucs at Coral Seymour Memorial Park in Kenai. Jordan Sanford had a pair of singles with two outs to score three runs, Josh Rose had a two-run home run with two outs, and Jake Sandlin added an RBI single with two outs to key the victory. Sanford had three hits and Sandlin and Rose added two hits each to spear-

head the eight-hit attack. With the eight-game skid history, the Oilers move to 8-14 in the Alaska Baseball League. Peninsula is seven games behind the Alaska Goldpanners in the American League, while the Bucs, at 15-9, trail the Panners by a single game. The Oilers and Bucs continue their five-game series with a 5 p.m. doubleheader today. The Oilers jumped on top of the Bucs in the first inning. Sandlin started the Oilers’ half of the inning with a single, then was sacrificed to second by Sanford. Sandlin would then score

on an error on a grounder by Ethan McGill. Peninsula jumped to a 3-0 lead in the second inning. With two outs, Drake Zarate walked then Rose belted a home run to right field, even though the win was blowing in. It was the fifth home run of the year for Rose. “I just try and go up and get a good pitch to hit,” Rose said in a postgame interview on 1140 AM. “He left it up in the zone.” The Bucs cut the gap to 3-2 in the top of the fourth. Cade Reiten was hit by a pitch and Andy Crowley doubled to put runners on second and third

with no outs. Tyler Gibson struck out Dylan Butler, but his attempt to get out of the jam failed when Mark Krueger lined a shot back up the box. It struck Gibson, then his throw to first was errant, allowing two to score. “I was just shocked that it hit me,” Gibson said in a radio interview. “I’d never been hit before. “It was my fault. I should have made the throw.” Even though Krueger got to third on the play, Gibson was able to hold him there. He stayed in the game to record the

win, allowing six hits and three runs — one earned — in six innings while striking out four and walking none. The Oilers came right back to take a 6-2 lead in the bottom of the fourth. With two outs, Zarate walked and Rose singled. Sandlin then singled to score Zarate and, due to an error, put runners on second and third. Sanford then singled to score Rose and Sandlin. The Bucs then tried to chip away at the lead. In the sixth, Butler crushed a home run to left field for a 6-3 game. In the top of the eighth, Evan PowSee OILERS, page A-7

Spain’s Alberto Contador gets assistance from his team after crashing during the 10th stage of the Tour de France cycling race over 100.4 miles with start in Mulhouse and finish in La Planche des Belles Filles, France, Monday. Contador withdrew from the race as a result of the crash. At right is his team manager Bjarne Riis of Denmark.

Contador crashes out of Tour With 2-time champion sidelined with fractured shin, Nibali now the favorite JAMEY KEATEN Associated Press

PLANCHER-LESMINES, France — After just 10 stages, the two pre-race favorites have crashed out of the Tour de France. And Vincenzo Nibali is wasting little time in showing that he’s now the man to beat. On Monday, the Italian narrowly dodged a spill by Alberto Contador that left the two-time Tour champion with a fractured shin. Nibali went on to barrel past a panting breakaway rider to win a fogand-rain coated, up-and-down Stage 10 and recover the yellow jersey that he had lost only a day earlier. It didn’t come easy. “This was the hardest stage

I’ve ever done in a Grand Tour, with seven climbs and so many crashes,” said Nibali. Contador’s mishap has given this 101st edition of cycling’s greatest event a dubious distinction of being the first in recent memory to force out its two top stars to crash injuries. Five stages earlier, reigning champ Chris Froome quit with a broken wrist and hand sustained in a string of spills. As the race enters its first rest day on Tuesday, Nibali — who has already won the Spanish Vuelta and Italian Giro — looks on his way to winning his first Tour with just under two weeks to go. When Stage 10 began, many race pundits — and Nibali himself — expected Contador to try to erase his 2 1/2 minute deficit

to the Italian by attacking on the ride to the finish atop La Planche des Belles Filles ski resort. As FDJ.FR team manager Marc Madiot put it: “This is the day for Contador to put Nibali into trouble.” Instead, it was Contador having the problems. The 31-year-old Spaniard took a hard tumble in a highspeed downhill run in the Vosges mountains. After riding about 18 kilometers (12 miles) in pain, the Tinkoff-Saxo Bank team leader finally gave up. He put his foot down, got off his bike, wiped his eyes and got into a team car. An X-ray later showed a shin fracture. Nibali said he had been ready for a “duel”. “I already had a good lead and I was ready to fight in a

big duel with Alberto,” he said. “Crashes are part of the sport. I’ve crashed myself many times in the past too. It’s a pity that the Tour has lost two major protagonists.” The Astana team leader regained the lead from France’s Tony Gallopin — who had taken the yellow jersey off him a day earlier — in the 161.5-kilometer (100-mile) trek from eastern Mulhouse to the steep finish at La Planche des Belles Filles. With a final burst of speed in the last 1.2 miles, Nibali overtook breakaway rider Joaquim Rodriguez. By the end, Nibali crossed 15 seconds ahead of France’s Thibaut Pinot in second and Spain’s Alejandro Valverde in third, a further five seconds behind.

MINNEAPOLIS — Mike Matheny had quite the choice for the National League’s AllStar starter. There was his own Adam Wainwright, the St. Louis Cardinals ace with a 12-4 record and a 1.83 ERA. And there was the Los Angeles Dodgers’ Clayton Kershaw, 11-2 with a 1.78 ERA and fresh off a 41-inning scoreless streak that ended last week. He chose Wainwright, who will start Tuesday night at Target Field against the Seattle Mariners’ Felix Hernandez. “It’s going to be great catching them,” said Milwaukee’s Jonathan Lucroy, the NL starter behind the plate. “A lot more fun than facing them.” When baseball’s elite met at Citi Field last year, NL batters managed just three hits in a 3-0 loss. A year earlier in Kansas City, the AL had just six hits in an 8-0 defeat.

Cespedes defends home run crown

Pitchers strut stuff at All-Star game RONALD BLUM AP Sports Writer

Sometimes, the best advice comes from the unlikeliest source. In Monday’s professional skins game that capped a day of action in the All-Alaska Pro-Am tournament at Birch Ridge golf course in Soldotna, Bill Engberg of Kenai acted on words of wisdom from not only his teammate, Anchorage’s Brandon Kaiser, but his caddie as well, 10-year-old Anika Richards of Kenai. A deft uphill putt for par from Engberg provided the ending in a sudden-death shootout for the skins game, played on the first hole after nine holes were not enough to settle the score. When the ball rolled into the cup, Engberg let loose a triumphant fist pump and celebrated with Kaiser and Richards. “We’re gonna split the money, and then my wife gets the rest,” Engberg quipped. Engberg, the Birch Ridge superintendent, teamed up with Kaiser to take home a total of $1,100 — $900 of that coming on the final putt. Before he made his move, though, Engberg had to contend with other golfers who continually stepped in the line of sight and on the small chip that marks where his ball landed. “I’ve convinced myself that it’s good luck when somebody does that because you can still make a putt,” he said. “Half the time when I got people walking in my line, I make the putt, and I had three guys walking in my line today, my caddie gives me a good read, and I just hit it.” Engberg said he and Kaiser realized they had to hit the ball harder as the evening wore on and the sun went down. He pointed out may of his competitors’ putts were coming up short.

Aaron Dexheimer, a professional from San Diego who grew up playing at Birch Ridge, won the skins game with teammate Chris Wright with a grand total of $1,300. Dexheimer and Wright won hole two for $400 and birdied hole seven for $900. “I hit a perfect drive, a little cut off the left trees with the wind,” Dexheimer recalled. “Chris hit it 84 yards, I think, he had a perfect little lob wedge. It stopped eight and a half feet (from the hole), and after the others missed it was a pretty easy putt.” Dexheimer missed his putt by inches on hole five that could have won him the $250 that came with it, but ultimately he and Wright collected the money on the seventh hole after the two previous were pushed. “It’s kind of ironic because I had the exact same putt in the tournament that I made for birdie myself,” Dexheimer said. Dexheimer managed to stay cool on each hole, which proved to be a task since he missed two good opportunities in the first five holes. On the seventh, the team of Nolan Rose and James Contreras came up shy of collecting the $900 by about an inch. Contreras was tasked with an uphill putt from about 35 feet out but missed to the left, which allowed Dexheimer to sink his birdie. “That’s something that every golfer works on,” Dexheimer said. “That’s probably one of the main keys for me today. I stayed patient all day and during the pro-am this morning, I started out with eleven straight pars, and it got to a point that I was frustrated because I play here so often and I’ve made so many birdies. “I just told myself, you gotta stay patient, because the second you try to make birdies at Birch

Never before had consecutive All-Star games ended in shutouts. “Guys are throwing harder. Guys have more pitches,” said Philadelphia second baseman Chase Utley, making his sixth All-Star appearance and first since 2010. The big league batting average is at a 42-year low. Strikeouts are at an all-time high. Wainwright and Kershaw are on track to become the first pair of qualifying pitchers in one league with a sub-2.00 ERA since the Mets’ Dwight Gooden and the Cardinals’ John Tudor in 1985 — the last time Minnesota hosted the All-Stars. “Aside from having the ability to win two World Series with the St. Louis Cardinals, I think this has to be one of the highlights of my baseball career to this point,” Wainwright said. “One of the coolest things AP Photo/Jeff Roberson I can say I did is to start a big American League’s Yoenis Cespedes, of the Oakland Athletics, league All-Star game.” Kershaw understood Mathe- hits during the final round of the MLB All-Star baseball home See DERBY, Page A-7 run derby Monday in Minneapolis.

MINNEAPOLIS — Oakland’s Yoenis Cespedes became the first repeat winner of the All-Star home run derby in 15 years, powering his way past Cincinnati’s Todd Frazier by a whopping 9-1 in the final round Monday night. Ken Griffey Jr. took the title in 1998 and 1999. With a serious, determined look on his face the whole time, Cespedes finished with 28 homers. That was four fewer than last year, when he beat Washington’s Bryce Harper 9-8 in the final round. Cespedes saved his best for last, a 452-foot blast to the third deck above left field that officially measured as the longest of the night. Athletics third base coach Mike Gallego again pitched to Cespedes, who went deep 32 times in last year’s derby at Citi Field in New York. Gallego’s arm looked nearly out of gas by

the final round, which started after 10:30 p.m. local time. Cespedes topped Toronto’s Jose Bautista, and Frazier surprisingly beat Miami’s Giancarlo Stanton in the semifinals. Bautista and Stanton each earned a bye to the semifinals under the new bracketed format, which gave each player seven outs and pitted the survivors from each side in the final round. Bautista went deep 10 times in the first round, keeping the fans in the second deck above left field on their toes, and Stanton hit six. That was all, though. After a long wait for his next turn, Stanton put up a zero in the semifinals and let Frazier advance with only one. Oh, but Stanton’s six were beauties. One landed in the third deck above left field, about a halfdozen rows shy of the very top of the ballpark. Another reached the second deck above the center field batter’s eye, a See DERBY, Page A-7

Twins drop nonleague game to Wasilla The American Legion Twins dropped a nonleague game to Wasilla on Monday 12-2. The game had been postponed earlier in the year and was played in Anchorage. “We had a lot of young players that were able to play a lot,” Twins assistant Robb Quelland. “Our pitching is still inconsistent. We pitched three young players.” Dallas Pierren had a double that scored two for the Twins, while Josh Darrow and JJ Sonnen also had hits.

Chalmers signs with Heat MIAMI — The Miami Heat signed free-agent forward Josh McRoberts and point guard Mario Chalmers, who went to Bartlett High in Anchorage, on Monday. Both deals were agreed to previously, but not signed until the Heat had more pieces of their salary-cap puzzle put into place.

Ridge, you make bogies.” Dexheimer shot a 3-under par 67 in the pro-am tournament to lead all golfers, ending with a 32-stroke performance on the back nine after opening with a 35. However, Dexheimer didn’t have the most impressive shot on the day. That came courtesy of George Collum, the director of golf at the Palmer Golf Course, who eagled on the fifth hole, an out-of-sight, downhill par-5. “That was the shortest green all day, and it was about a 40foot chip shot,” Collum said. “I hit it, and it just kept breaking to the left, and went right in the middle of the hole. The way you’re supposed to hit it, I guess.” Familiarity certainly didn’t hurt Collum, who has been playing at Birch Ridge since 1981, when the greens were made up of sand. “I don’t play that much golf anymore, but I’m so comfortable on this course,” he said. “Plus I don’t hit that far but I hit straight. I know the bounces and

where to land on the greens.” Collum’s team of wife, Tracy Collum, father-in-law, Michael Bowie, and brother Todd Collum finished tied for second with a net score of 126. The professional Collum managed a score of 68 on the day. Earlier in the day, Kaiser, a 27-year-old playing out of Moose Run Golf Course in Anchorage, led the winning team in the 18-hole pro-am round with a net score of 124. Playing with amateurs Joe Pahl, Dave Geer and Jimmy Grace, Kaiser managed a score of 72 himself. “Every time somebody on our team had a bad hole, another had a good hole,” Kaiser said. “We played the tough holes really well.” It is the first time Kaiser has been a part of the winning team in the pro-am tournament, which he has been competing in for six years. Teams from Anchorage, Fairbanks and the Mat-Su Valley made the trip for the tournament, and when the scores were added up, six pro teams of two were assembled to square off for the big money in the skins game. The amateur net was won by Dave Matthews with a score of 62.

The run was charged to Oilers reliever Scott Torrey, who pitched 1 2-3 innings. But another two-out rally gave the Oilers a little breathing room in the bottom of the eighth. Rose started the rally with a single, then Sandlin walked. Sanford then singled to score Rose for a 7-4 game.

place never touched by a ball during an actual game here. Stanton has been credited with three of the 15 longest home runs in the majors this year, including the second-farthest at 484 feet. Bautista, the AL captain, has 11 home runs in 14 regularseason games here, the most by any visiting player. That’s only one less than Twins cornerstone Joe Mauer, who has played 284 career games at Target Field.

tribute at the start of the 2001 game at Seattle’s Safeco Field when Alex Rodriguez told Ripken just before the first pitch to switch positions and move from third base to shortstop, where the Baltimore star spent most of his career. The 40-yearold Ripken then homered in the third inning. And two years ago, Atlanta’s Chipper Jones was feted with a standing ovation at Kauffman Stadium when he pinch hit in the sixth inning and singled. What will Jeter’s All-Star finale be like? “I don’t go into things with expectations,” he said. “I’m looking forward to playing the game. I’ve pretty much stopped it right there.” The game is being played in Minneapolis for the third time, following the NL’s 6-5 win at Metropolitan Stadium in 1965 and a dull 6-1 NL victory indoors at the Metrodome in 1985.

Oakland, a big league-best 59-36 at the break, has seven All-Stars for the first time since 1975. It got another win on Monday night when Yoenis Cespedes beat Cincinnati’s Todd Frazier 9-1 in the final round to become the first repeat champion of the Home Run Derby since Ken Griffey Jr. in 1998 and ‘99. The Athletics have some incentive for an AL victory in the All-Star game; since 2003, the winner’s league gets to start the World Series at home, and 23 of the last 28 titles were won by teams scheduled to host four of a possible seven games. “I don’t think you can ever underestimate the home-field advantage in a postseason,” said AL manager John Farrell, who led Boston to a six-game win over St. Louis last year. “To have that final game potentially in your home ballpark, that goes a long way to affecting the outcome.”

breezed by Baltimore’s Adam Jones in the second round. Frazier topped NL captain Troy Tulowitzki on the other side. Colorado’s Justin Morneau, the fan favorite after 10-plus years and four All-Star games for the host Twins, was eliminated in the first round. Morneau returned to his roots, and so did the event itself, considering the inaugural contest was held at the Metrodome before the 1985 All-Star game. Admission then was a mere $2, slightly less than the $200-andup price tags on the derby these days. The original form was actually a 1960s-era television show, featuring sluggers like Harmon Killebrew of the Twins. Delayed 54 minutes by light rain on an unseasonably cool

night — even for Minnesota — with a start-time temperature of 59 degrees, the contest began with a rainbow protruding from the clouds beyond left-center field that framed this limestoneencased ballpark that opened in 2010. Frazier went first, and while he went deep twice, he didn’t quite reach the rainbow. Neither did Twins second baseman Brian Dozier, the smallest of the participants who had the backing of the crowd with chants of his last name during his two-homer round. “Even my brother he said he got chills,” said Dozier, one of seven first-time participants. His brother, Clay, was his pitcher. The loudest roars were for Morneau, naturally, in his re-

turn to the place he called home until being traded last summer. An easy pick for Tulowitzki, Morneau checked the weather forecast as soon as he woke up to gauge the wind direction. The only left-hander in the event his year, Morneau’s third derby appearance brought the fans to their feet with AC/DC’s “Thunderstruck” blaring in the background. He hit two in the first round, the only balls all night that landed in the seats in right. Frazier hit one more to beat Morneau and advance in the three-swing tiebreaker. The only player shut out? Dodgers sparkplug Yasiel Puig. He was the first homerless participant since Robinson Cano two years ago in Kansas City.

four at-bats off of the starter unless you’re in trouble and you’re losing the game,” said Baltimore’s Matt Wieters, elected as a starting catcher but sidelined following elbow surgery. “I think for a while it was trying to get the starter out of the game so you can get to that fifth, sixth, seventh-inning guy. And now those fifth, sixth, seventh-inning guys are throwing upper 90s with a good breaking ball.” In addition to pitchers, the spotlight will be on New York Yankees captain Derek Jeter.

Yankees closer Mariano Rivera got an emotional sendoff last year, the All-Stars giving him a solo bow. When Rivera entered in the eighth inning all other players left him the field to himself.

Transactions ATHLETICS COURT OF ARBITRATION FOR SPORT — Reduced the 18-month doping bans for Jamaican sprinters Asafa Powell and Sherone Simpson to six months.

Truck-stop company co-owned by Browns owner must pay penalty NASHVILLE, Tenn. (AP) — The truck-stop company owned by Cleveland Browns owner Jimmy Haslam and Tennessee Gov. Bill Haslam has agreed to pay a $92 million penalty for cheating customers out of promised rebates and discounts, authorities announced Monday. In an agreement with the U.S. Attorney’s Office for the Eastern District of Tennessee, Pilot Flying J has accepted responsibility for the criminal conduct of its employees, ten of whom have pleaded guilty to participating in the scheme. For its part, the government has agreed not to prosecute the nation’s largest diesel retailer as long as Pilot abides by the agreement. Among other conditions, Pilot has agreed to cooperate with an ongoing investigation of current and former employees. The agreement does not protect any individual at Pilot from prosecution. The agreement was signed by U.S. Attorney Bill Killian on Thursday and attorneys for Knoxville-based Pilot on Friday. Nashville criminal defense

cide whether he would remain at the helm of the five-time world champions. In a statement, the confederation said President Jose Maria Marin accepted what it called “Scolari’s resignation.” “Scolari and his staff deserve our respect and our gratitude,” the statement said. “They were responsible for

making the Brazilian people regain their love for the Selecao even though we did not reach our greater goal (of winning the title).” Scolari’s replacement was not immediately announced. Assistant Carlos Alberto Parreira, the coach who led Brazil to the 1994 World Cup title, was also leaving.

ny’s decision. “If I’m him, I’m probably going to pick Adam, too. It’s his guy and he had the best half,” Kershaw said. Hernandez, the first Venezuela pitcher to start for the AllStars, also has sterling credentials: an 11-2 record with a 2.12 ERA. He described his task pretty simply: “Just throw zeroes out there and get my team to win. That’s all I got to do,” he said. Back in the great pitching era of the 1960s, the game was different. Sandy Koufax, Don Drysdale, Bob Gibson and Juan Marichal expected to finish what they started. Now, flame-throwers come out of the bullpen in the middle of games. “You’re not getting three,

attorney and former prosecutor David Raybin, who has followed the case but is not involved, said the agreement most likely signals that Pilot CEO Jimmy Haslam will not face charges. “No prosecutor would enter into an agreement like this, ask for this kind of sanction, unless they didn’t have enough evidence to indict Haslam,” he said. “Also, Pilot would not agree to pay unless they felt the government would not prosecute him.” FBI special agent Robert H. Root said in an affidavit filed in federal court last year that the scheme was known by a variety of euphemisms including “manual rebates.” Sales team members would make reduce the amount of money due to trucking company customers they deemed to be too unsophisticated to notice, according to the affidavit. The scheme was widely known in the sales department, according to court documents, with supervisors teaching other employees how to do it. Court records said the scheme

lasted from at least 2007 until an FBI raid in April 2013. Jimmy Haslam has said he was unaware of the scheme. Through a spokesman, he declined an interview on Monday, but issued a statement: “We, as a company, look forward to putting this whole unfortunate episode behind us, continuing our efforts to rectify the damage done, regaining our customers’ trust, and getting on with our business.” Gov. Bill Haslam holds an undisclosed ownership share in the company but has said he is not involved in Pilot’s day-today operations. Pilot has annual revenues of around $30 billion. In May, several top executives abruptly left the company. Pilot officials have not said why the employees left, but the agreement with prosecutors acknowledges that the company has terminated or placed on leave employees who violated company policies. It also acknowledges that Pilot acted quickly to investigate problems with the rebate program and repay cheated customers with interest. C

Son who idolizes dad must eventually be told his crime ble — without your glossing over it using the vague description of “inappropriate behavior.” When that conversation happens, he should already understand the concept of boundaries and what taking advantage of a child really means. If I were in your position, I would consult a licensed psychotherapist or social worker for input before try- Abigail Van Buren ing to explain this to Jeff, because the news is going to be shocking. However, if your son still wants to live with his birth father when he’s 18, I don’t think there is anything you can do to prevent it. DEAR ABBY: I raised my children to stay with me when we were in a store. They didn’t touch things displayed on the shelves because the items were not theirs and we weren’t going to purchase them. We didn’t have cellphones when my children grew up. However, even now I never remove mine from my purse while I’m in a store.

Is there a nice way to tell other shoppers to put their phones away and pay attention to their children while shopping, and suggest that it might not be safe for their kids to run through the aisles or roll canned goods down them? I am not sure about their children’s safety, but I’m positive it isn’t safe for me when their children are acting this way. — MEME IN THE WEST DEAR MEME: No, I don’t think there is. You appear to be part of a generation that had the time (or took the time) to teach these things to their kids. I agree that children should be taught to respect the property of others and to ask before touching it. I also agree that leaving items in an aisle could be dangerous to shoppers whose attention may be fixed on the store shelves instead of the floor. But because so many parents today seem to have “forgotten” to convey these important lessons, then caveat emptor — but in this case, let the shopper beware.

The search for a good apr Dear Readers: what is the annual percentage rate (APR) on your credit card? The APR is a number that represents, by percentage, the interest you pay. When applying for a credit card with different companies, you want to look for the one offering the lowest APR. However, there are different types of APRs to consider. Some companies will offer an “introductory or promotional APR” for a limited time. Usually, this APR is offered for no longer than a year, and then the rate goes up. Two other kinds are “purchase APRs,” which apply only to items charged on the card, and “cash-advance APRs,” which have much higher rates. Be a savvy consumer and read all the terms and conditions before applying. — Heloise Keep copies Dear Heloise: After graduating from school, it’s a good idea to make a copy of your diploma prior to framing it or storing it. Many employers are now requiring a diploma copy (high school as well as college) for prospective and current employees. Schools usually can provide you with a copy of your transcript, but not of your diploma. Having a copy in a file is much handier than searching Mom’s attic years later or trying to get a decent copy of a framed diploma. — Anne H. in Arkansas Wine stopper Dear Heloise: A wine stopper works perfectly in glass soda bottles. It helps to keep the fizz in. — A Reader, via email

DEAR ABBY: I am a mother of four. My oldest son, “Jeff,” is from a previous marriage. My ex was convicted of child molestation, involving his daughter from a previous relationship. Jeff is now 11. He has had very few unsupervised visitations with his dad over the last few years and is always talking about how great a guy he is. I have tried to explain that his father has done “inappropriate things” that got him in trouble with the law, which is why he can’t have contact with his sister. Instead of trusting my judgment for having moved several states away, Jeff always tells me about how he wants to go live with his dad when he’s 18. Being “Big Bad Mama” is no fun. The once-a-year gifts from his father trump any nice things my husband or I provide for Jeff. How can I explain to my son that I am only looking out for his best interests, and that he will never live with his dad? — BIG BAD MAMA IN GEORGIA DEAR MAMA: I don’t know how mature your son is, but most 11-year-old boys idolize their fathers. Jeff has his father on a pedestal because he sees him only rarely, and has no concept of what the reality of living with him would be. At some point your son will need to know EXACTLY what his father did that got him into trou-

Texas officer adopts pit bull he spared ARLINGTON, Texas (AP) — A North Texas police officer who chose not to shoot a pit bull that acted aggressively toward passers-by has adopted the dog. Arlington police Sgt. Gary Carter saved the pooch from the city pound. Carter on June 27 was summoned to the scene of a dog chasing residents. But Carter and another officer took time to

observe the dog’s behavior and determined that the animal was just thirsty, lost and afraid. The officers used a protein bar to lure the pooch into the patrol car for a lift to the dog pound. Video of the capture went viral and was viewed worldwide. On Thursday, with time running out for the dog before euthanasia, Carter rescued “Jeffrey” and adopted the animal.
