ing to the Alaska Department of Fish and Game, reviewing fishery data and communicating with other parties in the suit. According to the itemized breakdown, Mitchell spent 174.8 hours on the case, and Nelson worked on it for 112.4 hours. CIFF sued ADFG in July 2013 asserting that the department did not follow Cook Inlet salmon management plans appropriately, and caused harm to commercial fishers. Guidi ruled in favor of Fish and Game in June. He wrote

Kenai Watershed Forum officials said Beaver Loop Road is expected to be open to two-lane traffic July 26, six weeks after the original target date for the culvert replacement project. Robert Ruffner, executive director for the watershed, who is overseeing the project, said several setbacks have pushed back the timeline. The creek that flows under Beaver Loop Road had to be diverted and groundwater seeping into the excavation area proved problematic, he said. The replacement of the concrete foundation to support the 100-foot long culvert has been the most time consuming job, he said. “Concrete as the foundation is not typical, but it was necessary in this case because we had flooding occur around the culvert and that washedin material was not suitable to support the base of the culvert,” Ruffner said. “We had the contractor remove all that material and replace it with a concrete foundation.” Construction to install the new culvert a quarter mile from the Kenai Spur Highway intersection closed Beaver Loop during the last week of May. The road was originally planned to reopen June 11. Contractor Pete Endries from Endries Company requested a three-week extension on the project and planned for the road to be open in time

In the news Man wounded by troopers on Sterling Highway C

ANCHORAGE (AP) — Alaska State Troopers say one of their officers has seriously wounded a man accused of pulling a gun on the trooper after a chase on the Sterling Highway south of Anchorage. KTUU-TV reports that troopers say Seward police informed them about a despondent man traveling Tuesday afternoon on the Seward Highway. In a statement, troopers say they tried to stop that driver, who took off at a high rate of speed. A trooper made contact with the man after he got out of a vehicle on the Sterling Highway. Troopers say the man pulled a gun from his trunk, refused the officer’s commands and was shot. He was taken to an Anchorage hospital for treatment of what were described as serious injuries. No troopers were hurt. Troopers spokeswoman Megan Peters said she didn’t have any additional details.

CIFF to have another day in court By MOLLY DISCHNER Morris News Service-Alaska Alaska Journal of Commerce

The Cook Inlet Fisherman’s Fund will not have to repay the state Department of Law for costs associated with the lawsuit about 2013 management of Cook Inlet salmon fisheries at this time. Anchorage Superior Court Judge Andrew Guidi vacated his prior order requiring the fishing group to pay a portion of the state’s costs and issued a July 9 ruling that gave the fishing group, or CIFF, 15 days to

review the itemized breakdown of the Department of Law’s costs and respond. Then, the Department of Law will have five days to respond to the group. CIFF asked for reconsideration June 30, and in a July 7 motion asked to provide supplemental information, noting that the department had not provided the itemized breakdown of costs until after Guidi ruled in favor of the department’s request for partial reimbursement. Guidi had ruled June 25 that CIFF had to pay the state De-

partment of Law $12,924 for representing the Alaska Department of Fish and Game. That was 20 percent of the state’s costs in the lawsuit, according to information provided by the Department of Law. The state estimated its costs in defending ADFG at $65,737.50, mostly for work on the case done by Assistant Attorney General Mike Mitchell and Senior Assistant Attorney General Lance Nelson. The memo details how Mitchell and Nelson used their time, including reviewing and drafting memos and briefs, talk-

Borough re-evaluates rec center demo plan By KAYLEE OSOWSKI Peninsula Clarion

The Kenai Peninsula Borough administration is re-evaluating a plan to demolish the vacant, northern most portion of the Nikiski Community Recreation Center building. Prior to the July 1 Kenai Peninsula Borough Assembly meeting, Mayor Mike Navarre said the administration hadn’t heard comments against the proposed teardown. While the assembly did accept and appropriate a $500,000 grant from the state for demolition and maintenance of the building, it will consider op-

tions put together by the administration with updated figures, delay expenses and winter construction costs based on the re-evaluation of the plan on July 22. Initially the administration proposed to demolish a portion of the building due for roof and exterior replacements that has been mostly unoccupied since the Nikiski Elementary School closed in 2004. The demolition is estimated to cost $500,600 and will be incorporated in the “North Peninsula Recreation Center Building Repairs Project.” By combining the demolition with previously funded projects, which total $850,000,

the borough expects to save $30,000, according to the ordinance. A portion of money in the repairs project fund is scheduled for re-roofing and re-siding the section of the building that houses the recreation center. North Peninsula Recreation Service Area Board Chair Patti Floyd said the board, in considering its options with the unused portion of the building, thought the demolition was the best solution. “The most cost effective for Photo by Kaylee Osowski/Peninsula Clarion the community was to go ahead with the demolition,” Floyd The Kenai Peninsula Borough is re-evaluating its plan to desaid. “And (it was) the most molish a portion of the Nikiski Community Recreation Center See DEMO, page A-12 which has sat vacant for most of the past 10 years.

Official sees tie between gas project, referendum By BECKY BOHRER Associated Press

JUNEAU — The decision Alaska voters make on an oiltax referendum next month could have implications for a proposed liquefied natural gas project, the senior project manager said Tuesday, a point deemed a scare tactic by one state lawmaker. In an interview, manager Steve Butt said the state and companies that hold leases have a shared interest in making money off the

resource. He said if decisions are made that benefit one party at the expense of another, it compromises the project. Butt said he didn’t want to be an alarmist and declare the project would be killed if voters overturn the oil tax cut championed by Gov. Sean Parnell and approved by lawmakers last year. But he said every action taken either moves the gasline forward, by reducing risks and costs, or jeopardizes the viability of the long hoped-for project by increasing those factors.

If any of the parties “do something that hurts alignment, increases risk, increases costs, it hurts the project,” he said. Alignment is the buzzword for the state, TransCanada Corp., and the North Slope’s three major players — BP, ConocoPhillips and ExxonMobil Corp. — being on the same page in pursuing the mega-project. Others have made comments similar to Butt’s as an argument for keeping in place the oil tax cut, insisting that a healthy oil industry, to help carry lease costs C

associated with producing gas, is important to the fortunes of the gas line project. Oil companies have been major contributors to the campaign that opposes the repeal of the tax cut. But Sen. Bill Wielechowski, D-Anchorage, said he sees no connection between oil taxes and the gas line project. Wielechowski, a vocal critic of the current tax structure who supports the referendum, said the argument is being used as a threat so companies can continue to get tax breaks.

Parnell spokeswoman Sharon Leighow said by email that without a healthy oil industry, “it’s hard to picture a scenario where a gas line is built.” She said liquefied natural gas is about long-term commercial agreements, “where a country commits to Alaska to provide a portion of its energy supply.” “Instability tells the international market that Alaska’s actions may not be trusted in the long-term, which could hinder our ability to compete in a global market,” Leighow said.

What Others Say

Picking up after the bears and neighbors Please pick your garbage up after you

let the bears pick through it. If you don’t, then someone else has to. Often that’s your neighbor, who becomes very familiar with you as a result of picking up your garbage. Your neighbor will know what prescription you take, what and how much you like to drink, whether you practice safe sex and whether you prefer Tide or All to wash your clothes. That’s not all the neighbor will come to know about you; the list is endless, depending on whose garbage is laid out by the bears. And, it isn’t always your nearest neighbor who will learn these details. Sometimes, the bears drag garbage bags down the street and into other neighborhoods. Or your neighbor tells others in town what was found. Most often something in the bag the bear tears open reveals who the garbage belongs to. Maybe not in every bag, but it isn’t that difficult to figure out whose garbage is whose. Garbage from homes where children live narrows the possibilities in a neighborhood. Other age and family makeups help to narrow it further. If you don’t care enough as to what the community learns about you from your garbage, then maybe you would be concerned about the bears. Bears shouldn’t be into garbage, no matter how much they might like it. It is a danger to them to become dependent on it, and the situation creates a potential danger for the community, particularly children who might be playing outside or even just walking to or from home. Adults don’t want to encounter bears in the neighborhoods, either. When dealing with wildlife, it’s not always a foregone conclusion what they will do. Run off? Maybe. But maybe not. ... If you need help, your neighbors who pick up your garbage might be willing to lend a hand. It’s preferable to prevent bears delving into garbage than it is to clean up after they’ve been there. Of course, if precautions aren’t taken, those unwilling to prevent all of the problems that can occur when it comes to bears being attracted to neighborhood garbage might encounter the law. Fines exist for continually disregarding the city’s plea to properly dispose of garbage and discourage bears from coming into town. Fines shouldn’t be necessary. Calling authorities out to issue citations just increases the cost of government and takes the time of government employees who could be doing something else for the benefit of the community. Instead of getting sideways with the law or the bears, just secure your garbage. If you don’t do that, or if you do and a clever bear outwits you, then please pick up your garbage. It’s your garbage; it’s your responsibility. — Ketchikan Daily News, July 12

CLARION P

By GARRY TRUDEAU

Open-government charade

How is it that in and around politics, we manage to trivialize nearly every crisis and at the same time, turn what’s trivial into a crisis? The debate over the flood of child immigrants to U.S. borders is typical: Here we have a wrenching human dilemma with awful choices about removing children who have fled their brutally dangerous countries, often sent by their desperate parents. It’s a highly complex matter, as so many are. But it is mostly reduced to pettiness by political hustlers, with shameful cooperation from those of us in media. The debate was taken over by arguments over whether President Barack Obama should make a trip down to the facilities where the kids are being taken, for what would amount to a photo op — “theater,” as the president called it. To his credit, he refused to go, in spite of the cheap shots heaped on him by nervous candidates from both parties, and their consultants, always at the ready to fire off a sound bite or tweet. And that wasn’t the only fiery question that obscured the real tragedy. Texas Gov. Rick Perry, trying really really hard to promote another run for the White House, made a big show of pandering to his party’s hard-liners by announcing he would not be seen shaking Mr. Obama’s hand when POTUS visited his state. That was not the kind of photo op Perry wanted to go viral. In case you care, Perry was seen shak-

Letters to the Editor Senator putting Alaskans first Apparently there is considerable confusion over who authored a July 7 letter to the editor. I too was surprised to learn that there is a Larry Simmons with views far left from the views of this Larry Semmens. I proudly serve as chief-of-staff for Senator Micciche. He and his team members have always honorably provided excellent service for District O constituents; the folks he always demonstrably places first in every consideration. SB 21, the More Alaska Production Act, is a good place to start. Experts across the board conclude that this legislation will ultimately result in more barrels of oil produced in the long term, both delivering more jobs for Alaskans and more total revenue for the State of Alaska. Misguiding “giveaway” claims from those that believe money invested in unsustainable social programs instead of jobs for Alaskans are simply a myth. Predicted prices demonstrate that SB 21 will generate more revenue than ACES, without an increase in production. However, as reported by Tim Bradner in the Alaska Journal of Commerce, the 8 percent decline from prior years has already been offset to nearly zero. I believe we will see continued growth in investment and production since Alaska has become competitive with other states. If the writer had all the facts prior to writing his letter, he would have been thanking Senator Micciche for his knowledge of the industry instead of maligning him for his work. Your Senator could not support the original SB21 because of the low 25 percent base tax. He was the person who knew that a 35 percent base tax rate delivered the right level of government take. He was successful in promoting that change, which proves that he supports Alaskans first. “Special interests” made it clear they were unhappy with the amendment, but the Senator stood tough. Alaska oil taxes are complicated. Most people do not have the time, experience or backC

ing Obama’s hand, and Obama didn’t head to the border, which is certainly a good thing, because it would have been a massive disruption at exactly the worst spot for any added craziness. So, by the dis- Bob Franken mal ways we usually tabulate scores, it was Obama 2, Perry 0. Absurd, isn’t it? The borders are still overwhelmed by the kids, who will sooner or later be sent back to their native Central American killing fields where brutal gangs run rampant. The question is, How soon or how late? Congress and the White House are engaged in still more game-playing over how much money to budget to accomplish this, and how it should be used. Also, there’s a totally useless blamefest over which party was responsible. Republicans insist this is part of the Obama administration’s incompetence and the president’s inattention to every responsibility he carries. Democrats love to point out that a core part of this disaster is a well-intentioned law passed to inhibit human trafficking passed when George W. Bush was president. In this election season, no one is well-intentioned. Obviously this is not the only timepressing issue that has been reduced to a

ground to understand them completely. Mr. Simmons, I am appreciative that we have someone like Senator Micciche willing to serve. Your political name-calling lacks substance. Further, if the writer would have been paying attention he would know that Senator Micciche led the charge on stopping HB 77. Alaskans know this and also know the bill would have likely passed had Senator Micciche not stopped the bill. The significant work your Senator did on this bill demonstrates that he critically analyzes legislation, listens to his constituents and is willing to work hard to create legislation that works for Alaska. Finally, it proves that he is not afraid to kill a bill if it doesn’t measure up, regardless of how much of his work has been invested. I appreciate this opportunity to clarify that I continue to support Senator Micciche, I am proud to be a member of his team and I’m equally proud to call him my friend. Larry Semmens Soldotna

The care that was taken by festival planners and vendors to make the event as ‘green’ as possible – through the use of compostable and recyclable servingware, especially – made the weekend even more delicious. Mindful, lively, family-focused and community-powered events like the River Festival make me glad to live here. What a beautiful way to celebrate our river! Much gratitude to those who work tirelessly to give this gift to the community. Amy Hettinger Pascucci Soldotna

photo op. Politicians (almost all) contrive them constantly, oftentimes reducing human beings, including those involved in a tragedy, to props to sell whatever the officeholder/candidate/both is peddling. Those of us in media lap up all this phoniness, because it’s our only way to get precious video or still images that make us look like we’re on top of things, which usually we’re not. But this way, we can pretend we’re an aggressive, unfettered press holding our government accountable. Barack Obama certainly has been a frequent participant, which probably qualifies as an understatement. Why he got religion in this case is either because he considered it particularly distasteful or a huge, unwieldy hassle or, as his enemies contend, he didn’t want to be seen in the middle of such a mess. To be clear, his adversaries play by the same rules. With all the technological advances in transmitting information, we continue to be held captive to contrived events and spoon-fed information while most of our open government is conducted in old-fashioned secrecy. No wonder officials get so angry about leaks. They show everyone that their conduct needs to be challenged and certainly not trivialized.

Caring treatment makes hospital stay tolerable My hubby, Thomas (Jim) Schneider, recently spent 10 days in Central Peninsula Hospital. The four young men who responded to my 911 call were here lickity split and I was so grateful to hand Jim off to their capable hands! Jim progressed from the ER to ICU to a regular room, all the while receiving excellent care from a great team of doctors, nursing staff, housekeeping and meal preparers — the meals were delicious! Because of the reason he was there it was a very scary, stressful time for me but I knew he was in good hands. We are very fortunate to have such a wonderful facility staffed with such a professional, caring and capable staff! Jim and I both want to thank all the people whose care, kindness and sharing a few laughs made his stay tolerable. Happy Schneider Kenai

Arbitrator: Guard should not have been fired ANCHORAGE (AP) — A guard on duty the night a serial killing suspect committed suicide in an Alaska prison should not have been fired, an arbitrator found. Loren Jacobsen was fired weeks after Israel Keyes was found dead in his cell on Dec. 2, 2012, at the Anchorage Correctional Complex. Keyes had slit his wrist with a razor that another guard mistakenly gave him and also strangled himself with a makeshift noose. Keyes was being held on federal charges involving the death of 18-year-old Samantha Koenig. Jacobsen, 54, was fired by the Department of Corrections, even though he had turned over his duties that night to another officer and was on a sanctioned meal break when Keyes committed suicide, the Anchorage

Daily News reported Tuesday from documents it obtained. The Alaska Correctional Officers Association had appealed the firing. Corrections officials declined comment to the newspaper and didn’t return messages from The Associated Press. Authorities said Keyes had confessed to other killings in Vermont, New York and Washington state. The FBI was interviewing him in hopes of identifying other possible victims. On the night Keyes killed himself, Jacobsen, a five-year department veteran, was assigned to the overnight shift. He was the only guard for 15 prisoners and said he was to do a visual inspection of each cell every 30 minutes and a formal count every four hours. Keyes was last seen getting into his bed at 10:12 p.m., ac-

cording to the arbitration report. The arbitrator’s report says surveillance video of the unit shows movement in Keyes’ cell until a jerk at 10:24 p.m., then stillness. Jacobsen resumed his duties after his meal and made 16 checks until the end of his shift. Jacobsen said he walked close to the darkened cells but never went inside, and he apparently didn’t see the blood that had pooled on the floor of Keyes’ cell. The Department of Corrections, in its version of events to the arbitrator, said Jacobsen read a novel, talked with other guards on the phone, and researched buying an airplane online. The state argued these activities distracted him to the point where his security checks were perfunctory.

Jacobsen later told supervisors the cell was dark, and it appeared Keyes was asleep under his blanks, the way he often slept. Keyes’ body was found about 6 a.m. by the dayshift officer who took over for Jacobsen. In its appeal, the union said management’s decision to put Keyes in a dimly lit cell contributed to the death. The union also claimed the perfunctory checks were standard for guards and accepted by supervisors. The union concluded Jacobsen, who has since taken a job in another field, was a scapegoat. Arbitrator Timothy Williams wrote in his conclusion that a determined inmate with an elaborate plan to conceal his suicide was no match for a complacent workplace culture.

Around Alaska Abortion-funding law put on hold by judge JUNEAU — A judge has temporarily blocked enforcement of an Alaska law that further defines what constitutes a medically necessary abortion for the purposes of Medicaid funding. Superior Court Judge John Suddock says Planned Parenthood of the Great Northwest raises “substantial issues” going to the merits of the law and is entitled to a hearing. Regulations, similar to the law passed this year, were previously stayed pending resolution of the lawsuit brought against the state by Planned Parenthood. The law, however, does not include consideration of psychiatric disorders. The regulations do. Suddock, in his order Tuesday, said restrictive legislation “enhances the risk of constitutional invalidity.” Planned Parenthood is challenging the law and regulations as unconstitutional. Supporters of the measures have said the state should not be required to pay for elective abortions.

Wolf cubs arrive at new home in Minnesota ANCHORAGE — Five wolf pups orphaned by a wildfire in Alaska are at their new home. KTVA reports the wolves were flown from Anchorage to the Minnesota Zoo on Tuesday. An official for the zoo near Minneapolis says the wolves will be quarantined for about a month before going on permanent display. The five pups were taken to the Alaska Zoo in Anchorage on May 27 after being orphaned in the Funny River Fire on the Kenai Peninsula, near Soldotna. The Alaska Zoo had the pups on display until Monday.

Feds investigate after Petersburg explosion PETERSBURG — Authorities are investigating after a Petersburg resident was injured in an explosion. KFSK reports that police are not releasing the name, gender or condition of the 59-year-old. However, police say they got a 911 call Sunday afternoon. The caller said there was an injured person outside the hospital emergency room and dynamite might have been involved. The person was moved inside the hospital, and officers found about 20 pounds of a gelatinized substance in a vehicle the person drove to the hospital. Authorities were consulted before the car was moved away. FBI and Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms agents arrived Monday to investigate. Authorities have secured three sites in Petersburg. They say residue from unidentified explosion site and the vehicle tentatively been identified as a commercially available explosive. — The Associated Press

House GOP prepares response to border crisis By ERICA WERNER Associated Press

WASHINGTON — House Republicans announced Tuesday they will recommend dispatching the National Guard to South Texas and speeding Central American youths back home as their response to the immigration crisis that’s engulfing the border and testing Washington’s ability to respond. The recommendations, to come from a working group established by House Speaker John Boehner, will set up a clash with leading Democrats who oppose changing U.S. law to eliminate automatic immigration hearings for Central American kids and return them more quickly to Honduras, El Salvador and Guatemala, where some areas are overrun by brutal gangs. With Democrats and the White House under growing pressure from immigration advocates to hold firm against the GOP approach, a solution for the growing crisis of tens

of thousands of unaccompanied children showing up at the U.S.-Mexico border is looking increasingly elusive with three weeks left before Congress leaves Washington for an annual August recess. “It’s a critical situation and if we don’t deal with it urgently but well, done right, we’re facing a crisis of just huge proportions,” said Rep. Mario DiazBalart, R-Fla., who traveled to Honduras and Guatemala over the weekend with members of the House GOP working group including its leader, Rep. Kay Granger of Texas. “Time is of the essence.” Granger, Diaz-Balart and others said their proposals would include sending the National Guard to help overwhelmed Border Patrol agents, increasing immigration judges, adding assistance to Central American nations and changing a 2008 trafficking victims law that guarantees hearings for Central American youths. The law has the practical result of letting the

young people stay in the country for years as their cases move through the badly backlogged immigration courts. At the same time Republicans are working to significantly pare down President Barack Obama’s $3.7 billion emergency spending request for the border, hoping to act quickly on a smaller spending bill along with the package of policy changes. The recommendations were to be formally released later in the week, but lawmakers discussed their broad outlines Tuesday. In response, Democrats and immigration advocates called for quick action on a “clean” spending bill without controversial policy changes attached. The White House urged speed, but did not insist that Congress act only on the spending bill. “There’s already been ample opportunity for Congress to take action, and we want to encourage them to move forward with some sense of urgency,” said White House Press Secretary Josh Earnest.

‘Time is of the essence.’ — Rep. Mario Diaz-Balart, R-Fla. Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid, D-Nev., declared that: “With this money, we can take care of the problem.” Republicans made clear that was out of the question. “What I will not do is vote for a blank check for the president for something that will not solve the problem,” said Sen. John Cornyn, R-Texas, who has written a bill along with fellow Texan Rep. Henry Cuellar, a moderate Democrat, to make some of the same changes the House working group is proposing. Granger said the average immigration case takes a year-anda-half to five years to go through the court process, even as more than 57,000 unaccompanied children have arrived at the border since October. “That’s just

not acceptable so we’ve got to change that,” she said. With Republicans refusing to support a border spending bill without major policy changes attached, and Democrats refusing to support one with them, any final outcome was unclear with November midterm elections around the corner. Meanwhile the children keep coming, with 90,000 expected by the end of the fiscal year. They flee violence, but also are drawn by rumors that once here, they can stay. Proposed changes to the 2008 trafficking victims law have emerged as a major point of contention. The House GOP proposal would allow youths from Central America and other countries to be treated the same under the

law as Mexican children, who can be turned around quickly by Border Patrol agents unless they’re able to make the case that they have a fear of return and require further screening. Immigration advocates and some Democrats contend that the Border Patrol screenings are cursory and inadequate and that the young people will be returned to gang violence and worse. “A shotgun proceeding in which people are railroaded through a quick process for kids who have no idea what’s going on is not how America does refugee protection, is not how America treats its kids,” said Frank Sharry, executive director of America’s Voice, an advocacy group. Obama administration officials have indicated support for changing the 2008 law, but the White House has not proposed a specific fix amid complaints from advocacy groups, and its position about what it would accept is unclear.

Anxiety grows as possible New York rail strike nears By FRANK ELTMAN Associated Press

HICKSVILLE, N.Y. — Anxiety grew among the nearly 300,000 daily riders caught in the middle of a labor dispute as a weekend strike at the nation’s largest commuter railroad grew closer. The eight unions representing Long Island Rail Road’s 5,400 workers and Metropolitan Transportation Authority managers didn’t negotiate on Tuesday, a day after both sides said talks aimed at averting a 12:01 a.m. Sunday strike had collapsed. Meanwhile, the head of a commuters’ group complained that riders are being forgotten by both sides amid the feud over pay and contributions to pension and health care plans. Long Island Rail Road Commuter Council Chairman Mark Epstein also said contingency plans for a walkout were providing little comfort.

The MTA last week revealed plans for school buses to take commuters from some Long Island stations to subway stops in New York City, the opening of large park-and-ride lots at Citi Field and Aqueduct racetrack, and a public relations effort aimed at encouraging people to work from home. “They may be providing us with school buses, but we’re not children,” Epstein said. “Our concern is they stay at the table. No progress can be made when they’re not talking. Our

message is return to the table. If the difference is a gap or a gulf, it will not be getting any smaller if they do not talk to each other.” MTA Chairman Thomas Prendergast said Monday there were no current plans to resume negotiations. Anthony Simon, the unions’ chief negotiator, said in an interview at his Babylon, Long Island, office that he had not heard from the MTA on Tuesday. “So what we’re doing is preparing our membership and

their families for the unfortunate possibility of a shutdown,” he said. “I’m not too optimistic.” There is widespread consensus that a strike would have a devastating impact on both New York City and the suburbs to the east. Commuters and others were predicting hours-long traffic jams, overflowing parking lots near subway stations and a spectrum of other inconveniences. State Comptroller Thomas DiNapoli estimated that a strike

would be a “devastating blow to a region that is still struggling to recover from Superstorm Sandy and the recession” and estimated economic losses of $50 million a day. Gov. Andrew Cuomo said he was taking a “see how it goes” approach to the dispute. “It often gets pushed to the brink and this is a major negotiation,” Cuomo said. “The LIRR is vital to Long Island. Long Island households do not have any additional funds to pay for an increase in fares.”

Commuters appeared exasperated over the looming strike. Some blamed workers for balking at paying for health care and pension costs. Kevin Bigelow, a lawyer from West Babylon, blamed “typical union greediness. They’re the most overpaid, underworked union in the country.” Lenny Mastrandea, a postproduction colorist from Lindenhurst who takes the LIRR every day, said: “I pay for my health care. I think contributing to health care is fair.”

California water use rises amid crippling drought By DON THOMPSON Associated Press

SACRAMENTO, Calif. — Californians increased water consumption this year during the state’s severe drought, despite pleas from the governor to conserve, fallowed farm fields and reservoirs that are quickly draining, according to a report released Tuesday. The new figures surfaced as state water regulators prepared to vote later in the day on fines up to $500 a day for people who waste water on landscaping, fountains, washing vehicles and other outdoor uses. The numbers underscore the need for action, State Water Resources Control Board Chairwoman Felicia Marcus said. “Not everybody in California understands how bad this drought is ... and how bad it could be,” she said. “There are communities in danger of running out of water all over the state.” The report says overall consumption jumped 1 percent, even as Gov. Jerry Brown has called for a 20 percent cutback. It corrected survey results released just a month ago that said use statewide had declined by 5 percent. The earlier survey prompted the water board to consider the most drastic response yet to California’s drought — imposing fines on water wasters.

If fines don’t work, Marcus said the board would consider other steps, such as requiring water districts to stop leaks in their pipes, which account for an estimated 10 percent of water use, stricter landscape restrictions and encouraging water agencies to boost rates for consumers who use more than their share of water. The increased usage noted in the report is attributable to two regions of the state: Southern California coastal communities and the far northeastern slice of the state. It was not immediately clear why consumption had increased in those areas. The report was based on consumption from May compared to the same month in previous years. No region of California met Brown’s request for a 20 percent reduction, but some came closer than others. Communities that draw from the Sacramento River reduced consumption the most, by 13 percent, while those along the North Coast reduced consumption by 12 percent. San Francisco Bay Area and Southern California cities that draw from the Colorado River decreased water use by 5 percent. Cities and suburbs use about 20 percent of the state’s water, with about half going outdoors. Agriculture is by far the greatest

water user, accounting for 75 percent of consumption in the state. California farmers are just as guilty of using too much water as their urban neighbors, according to a separate report released Tuesday. The study by the University of California, Davis found that some farmers could see their wells run dry next year unless the state sees a wet winter. The proposal being considered Tuesday by the state board would prohibit the watering of landscaping to the point that runoff spills onto sidewalks or streets. Hosing down sidewalks, driveways and other hard surfaces would be banned in most cases, along with washing vehicles without a shutoff nozzle. Violations would be infractions punishable by fines, although most cities are likely to have a sliding scale that starts with a warning and increases for repeat violations. The report estimates that the proposed restrictions could save enough water statewide to supply more than 3.5 million people for a year. At the ongoing hearing Tuesday, some water managers told the board the fines would unnecessarily punish customers that already have reduced consumption. Mark Madison, general manager of the Elk Grove Water District south of Sacramento, said

Denton could become 1st Texas city to ban fracking By EMILY SCHMALL Associated Press

DENTON, Texas — A North Texas community that sits on a large natural gas reserve could become the first city in the state to ban hydraulic fracturing, with city leaders in Denton set to vote Tuesday night on a citizen-led petition. Industry groups and state regulators warn that such a ban could be followed by litigation and a severe hit to the city economy. The DenC

ton City Council is holding a public hearing Tuesday night, with a vote to follow. If the council rejections the petition, it would likely still go to Denton’s voters in November. Under the proposed ban, operators would be allowed to continue extracting energy from the 275 wells in Denton that have already undergone hydraulic fracturing, or fracking, but not reinitiate the process on old wells. Fracking involves blasting a mix of water, sand and

an assortment of chemicals deep into underground rock formations to free oil and gas and has pitted environmentalists against oil and gas companies and state regulators in Texas. While the method has long stirred concerns about its effect on air and water quality, industry proponents argue that fracking can be done safely and is cleaner than other forms of energy extraction. “If we or the citizens pass this ban, you will see an allout battle,” said Denton Councilman Kevin Roden.

board. In some cities, including San Francisco, officials worry about the prohibition on washing streets and sidewalks. Public Works Department

spokeswoman Rachel Gordon said that could interfere with the frequent cleaning of alleys to wash away human waste where there are high concentrations of homeless people.

89 killed in worst Afghan bombing since 2001 By RAHIM FAIEZ Associated Press

KABUL, Afghanistan — A suicide bomber blew up a car packed with explosives near a busy market and a mosque in eastern Afghanistan on Tuesday, killing at least 89 people in the deadliest insurgent attack on civilians since the 2001 U.S.-led invasion. The blast destroyed numerous mud-brick shops, flipped cars over and stripped trees of their branches, brutally underscoring the country’s instability as U.S. troops prepare to leave by the end of the year and politicians in Kabul struggle for power after a disputed presidential runoff. Gen. Mohammad Zahir Azimi, the Defense Ministry spokesman, said the bomber detonated his explosives as he drove by the crowded market in a remote town in Urgun district, in the Paktika province bordering Pakistan. Azimi gave the death toll and said more than 40 other people were wounded. Nearby hospitals were overwhelmed, and dozens of victims were transported over dangerous roads to the capital, Kabul. Ahmad Shah, a gas station employee who rushed to the site to help, said he loaded dozens of people who were injured or killed into vehicles. “I saw the smoke, and the town was burning. There were dead bodies everywhere,” he said outside a hospital in Kabul. Associated Press video footage of the aftermath showed mounds of twisted debris and the charred shells of cars flipped over on top of one another. Azimi said more than 20 shops and dozens of vehicles were destroyed. Many victims were buried in the rubble, said Mohammad Reza Kharoti, administrative chief of Urgun district. “It was a very brutal suicide attack against poor civilians,” he said. “There was no military base nearby.” There was no immediate claim of responsibility, and the

Taliban issued a statement denying involvement, saying they “strongly condemn attacks on local people.” Several other insurgent groups operate in Afghanistan. The U.N. mission in Afghanistan said initial reports “suggest that the attacker prematurely detonated after police detected the explosives in his vehicle.” Several witnesses said the driver was in a four-wheel-drive vehicle and hit two vehicles parked on the edge of the market, leading police to open fire. Then the explosion happened. Abdul Khan, who is from the area, rushed to the hospital in Kabul to donate blood. “Most of the people in the town lost three to four family members,” he said, adding his cousin had been killed. It was the deadliest insurgent attack against civilians since the U.S. invasion that ousted the Taliban in 2001. It exceeded the toll from twin bombings on Dec. 6, 2011, that targeted Shiite Muslims and killed 80 people in Kabul and Mazar-i-Sharif. It was also the first major attack since a weekend deal between the two Afghan presidential contenders, brokered by U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry, averted a dangerous rift in the country’s troubled democracy following last month’s disputed runoff. “People were shocked, and we are shocked, but this is the sad reality of Afghanistan,” one of the candidates, former Foreign Minister Abdullah Abdullah, told The Associated Press in an interview. The U.N. Security Council issued a statement condemning the attack, and said it would not stop the drive for an Afghan-led peace in the country. Unofficial results from the runoff showed former Finance Minister Ashraf Ghani Ahmadzai well in the lead, but Abdullah’s supporters say that is only because of widespread fraud. Since fraud was alleged on

Afghanistan’s security forces and civilians walk at the site of a suicide attack in the Urgun area of Paktika province, Afghanistan, Tuesday. The attack near a busy market and a mosque killed at least 89 people in the deadliest insurgent attack on civilians since the 2001 U.S.-led invasion.

‘It was a very brutal suicide attack against poor civilians. There was no military base nearby.’ — Mohammad Reza Kharoti, administrative chief of Urgun district both sides, the deal provides that every one of the 8 million ballots will be audited under national and international supervision over the next three or four weeks. Neither the election nor the weekend deal has had any visible effect on security in the country, which has long seen near-daily attacks. The United Nations said last week that civilian deaths are up 17 percent in the first six months of the year compared with the same period in 2013, with 1,564 civilians killed from January through June. The Taliban have escalated their bombing campaign ahead of the planned withdrawal of U.S.-led foreign forces. Hours before the Paktika blast, a roadside bomb in Kabul ripped through a minivan carrying seven employees of the

media office of the presidential palace, killing two of the passengers. The Taliban claimed responsibility. Also, seven police officers, including a district counter-terrorism director, and six border guards were killed when Taliban insurgents attacked a post on the border with Pakistan in the eastern Khost province, provincial government spokesman Mubariz Mohammad Zadran said. Zadran said the attack set off an hours-long gunbattle that left 34 insurgents and a local man dead. “The majority of the insurgents killed in the clash are Pakistani citizens,” Zadran said. Elsewhere in the country, two police officers were killed by a bomb concealed on a parked motorbike inside the southern city of Kandahar, said Zia Durani, spokesman for the Kandahar police chief.

GAZA CITY, Gaza Strip — Israel resumed its heavy bombardment of Gaza on Tuesday and warned that Hamas “would pay the price” after the Islamic militant group rejected an Egyptian truce plan and instead unleashed more rocket barrages at the Jewish state. Late Tuesday, the military urged tens of thousands of residents of northern and eastern Gaza to leave their homes by Wednesday morning, presumable a prelude to air strikes there. Rocket fire killed an Israeli man Tuesday, the first Israeli fatality in eight days of fighting. In Gaza, 197 people were killed and close to 1,500 wounded so far, Palestinian officials said, making it the deadliest Israel-Hamas confrontation in just over five years. The Egyptian proposal, initially accepted by Israel, had been the first attempt to end the fighting. It unraveled in less than a day, a sign that it will be harder than before to reach a truce. Hamas does not consider Egypt’s current rulers — who deposed a Hamasfriendly government in Cairo a year ago — to be fair brokers.

Drone makers show off innovation at England air show LONDON — The next big thing in aviation may be really small. With some no bigger than a hummingbird, the hottest things at this week’s Farnborough International Airshow are tiny compared with the titans of the sky, such as the Airbus 380 or the Boeing Dreamliner. What’s got aviation geeks salivating at Farnborough, this year’s biggest aviation jamboree that features participants from 40 countries, are the commercial possibilities of unmanned aerial vehicles — drones to most of us. Drones are more commonly known for their use in conflict areas. This week Hamas launched for the first time an unmanned drone into Israeli airspace that was shot down. But drones, which can weigh less than an ounce, have potential commercial applications that are vast. The industry, military and non-military, is growing and could according to some see investments of nearly $90 billion over the next ten years. Experts say they can be adapted to fly over fields to determine when crops need watering, fly into clouds in hopes of offering more precise predictions on twisters, track endangered rhinos, spot wildfires and search out vast stretches of land for missing children. – The Associated Press

Moscow subway derails; 21 dead, 136 hurt By VITNIJA SALDAVA Associated Press

MOSCOW — A subway train derailed Tuesday deep below Moscow’s streets, twisting and mangling crowded rail cars at the height of the morning rush hour. At least 21 people were killed, Russian officials said, and 136 were hospitalized, many with serious injuries. The Russian capital’s airports and transit systems have been a prime target for terrorists over the past two decades, but multiple officials vigorously dismissed terrorism as a possible cause. The Moscow Metro is world-famous for its palatial interiors with mosaics, chandeliers and marble benches. Park Pobedy, where the derailment occurred, is Moscow’s deepest metro station — 84 meters (275 feet) below the surface — which made the rescue particularly difficult. The station serves the vast park where Russia’s World War II museum is located. It was unclear what caused

the train to derail. Lines of inquiry included a fault in one of the cars or the sinking of the roadbed, according to Vladimir Markin, spokesman for Russia’s top investigative body. He said other officials who said earlier that a power surge triggered an alarm, causing the train to stop abruptly, were incorrect. Of the 136 people hospitalized, at least 42 were in grave condition, health officials said. One citizen of China and one citizen of Tajikistan were among those killed, Russian news agencies quoted city officials as saying. Over 1,100 people were evacuated from the train, which was stuck between two stations, in a rescue operation that ended more than 12 hours after the accident. One woman taken from the scene died at a Moscow hospital. In video released by the Emergency Situations Ministry, several wrecked train cars looked almost coiled, occupying the entire width of the tunnel. Workers were trying to force open the mangled doors

of one car to retrieve bodies. Photos posted on social media sites showed passengers walking along the tracks in the dimly lit tunnel. Russian officials rushed to open an investigation into the accident. President Vladimir Putin, who is traveling in Brazil, demanded a detailed investigation into the “reasons for the event” and asked the country’s top investigators to open a criminal case, his spokesman told Russian news agencies. Mayor Sergei Sobyanin also told reporters that unnamed officials will not only be fired but also charged with crimes, though he would not say what charges they might face. Prime Minister Dmitry Medvedev offered his condolences for the victims and their families. Dozens of injured people were carried out of the station on stretchers. Paramedics carried one woman covered with a blanket to the lawn by the Triumphal Arch, which commemorates Russia’s victory over Napoleon, and put her on

a helicopter ambulance. Several survivors sat on the sidewalk near the station’s entrance in an apparent state of shock, drinking water supplied by authorities on a hot summer day. Witnesses told Rossiya 24 television that they felt a sharp impact that knocked them off their feet and hurled them across the train cars. “Everybody spun to one side,” said one witness. “There was a sharp brake, and smoke was in the air. People couldn’t leave for a long time. The way was blocked.” While technical glitches are regular occurrences in the Moscow Metro, the subway hasn’t seen deadly accidents in decades. Terrorism is another matter. More than 100 people have been killed in bombings on Moscow’s subway trains or near stations since 2000, including two bomb blasts on the same day in 2010 that killed a total of 40 people. Laura Mills in Moscow contributed reporting.

Airstrike in eastern Ukraine kills 11 civilians By MSTYSLAV CHERNOV Associated Press

SNIZHNE, Ukraine — An airstrike in eastern Ukraine sent an apartment building crumpling to the ground Tuesday, killing at least 11 people and adding to the steadily mounting civilian death toll from the fighting between government forces and pro-Russian insurgents. Rebels pinned the attack on the Ukrainian air force. The government swiftly denied blame but was not immediately able to offer an alternative explanation. The bombing in the rebel-held town of Snizhne demonstrated how airstrikes and heavy rocket fire are becoming increasingly common as the conflict drags into its fourth month. The attack comes one day after a Ukrainian military transport plane was shot down in disputed circumstances. The devastation in Snizhne bore signs of a strike by several missiles and left only a mountain of smoking debris. The four-story apartment appeared to have been hit in two separate spots, causing the collapse of several tiers. A nearby house was also destroyed. Resident Igor Chernetsov lost

his wife in the attack. “I heard an explosion, and suddenly I was thrown out of the apartment, out of the fourth floor,” said Chernetsov, his head swathed in a bandage. “I woke up covered in dust and had no idea what had happened.” Health officials in the Donetsk region, which includes Snizhne, provided the number of dead. Rescue workers pulled a small child with broken legs alive from the rubble as grieving residents sifted for belongings. An Associated Press reporter counted six large impact craters. Dmitry Tymchuk, a military analyst who coordinates closely with Ukraine’s Defense Ministry, said that since rebels are unlikely to have any planes capable of conducting the bombing, there could only be one explanation. “Only Russian aviation could have performed the airstrike on Snizhne,” he wrote on his Facebook account. The Defense Ministry stopped short of that claim but insisted the bombing could not have been carried out by the air force as none of its planes were on sorties at the time of the strike. Security Council spokes-

man Andrei Lysenko called the incident a “cynical and bloody provocation” aimed at discrediting the armed forces. Sergei, a rebel commander at the scene who declined to give his surname, said locals bore witness to Ukrainian involvement. “Many local citizens saw the plane that dropped the bomb — it had Ukrainian markings,” he said. “Why Ukraine would bomb its own territory is harder for me to say.” No reliable official recent death toll has been produced, but hundreds of civilians are believed to have been killed so far in the conflict. Authorities said Tuesday that 258 servicemen have been killed in fighting and 922 injured. Representatives for the separatist Luhansk People’s Republic said that 12 more civilians were killed Monday evening in the eastern city of Luhansk following rocket attacks and airstrikes. It was not immediately possible to verify those claims. On Monday, Ukraine said one of its military transport planes carrying eight people was shot down by a missile fired from Russian territory. Security Service

chief Valentyn Nalyvaichenko said he had “unconditional evidence” that Russia was involved in downing the craft, InterfaxUkraine news agency reported Tuesday. Rebels said they shot the plane down. Defense Ministry representatives initially suggested all those on the plane had survived and been accounted for. The ministry updated its account to specify that while four on the plane were evacuated, another two were taken captive by rebels and that the whereabouts of two more are unknown. In the last two weeks, the government has halved the territory in eastern Ukraine held by pro-Russia separatists, who have been forced back into the cities of Luhansk and Donetsk. Many in the armed insurgency are known to be Russian nationals, but Moscow says they are simply citizens who went to fight in Ukraine on their own. Russia has denied it is helping to fuel the unrest in Ukraine and has in turn accused Kiev-commanded forces of shelling a border town inside Russia, killing one person. Ukraine denies firing shells onto foreign soil.

Typhoon shifts slightly from Manila, leaves 1 dead By JIM GOMEZ Associated Press

MANILA, Philippines — Typhoon Rammasun strengthened overnight, leaving at least one person dead and knocking out power in many areas, but its fierce wind shifted slightly Wednesday to spare the Philippine capital, Manila, and densely populated northern provinces from being directly pummeled, officials said. Still, the typhoon’s 150-kilometer (93-mile) wind and blinding 185-kph (115-mph) gusts, brought down trees, electric posts and ripped off roofs across the capital of 12 million people where government offices and schools were closed. While there have been no reports of massive damages and flooding, officials warned the public the danger wasn’t over. “We’re telling the people this is not a time to act like toughies because it’s still dangerous. There could be storm surges,” Alexander Pama, executive director of the National Disaster Risk Reduction Management Council, told reporters. A woman died after being hit by a fallen electric post in Northern Samar and two men were electrocuted but survived in Camarines Sur. Three fishermen have been reported missing in Catanduanes. The three provinces were lashed by Rammasun after it made landfall in Albay province late Tuesday. Instead of slamming into Manila, the typhoon veered slightly westward and struck Cavite province just south of the capital and was barreling toward the Bataan Peninsula at mid-morning and was expected to blow toward the South China Sea. But Rammasun’s 500-kilometer (310-mile) wide band of wind and rain still hammered a wide swathe of the capital and northern agricultural provinces, government weather forecasters said. There were no immediate damage estimates, especially in communities that lost power and telephone connections while being pummeled by the wind and rain. With last year’s massive devastation and deaths from Typhoon Haiyan still in many people’s mind, nearly 150,000 people fled from high-risk communities into emergency shelters, officials. Polangui Mayor Cherilie Mella Sampal said 10,000 of the 80,000 residents in her town in Albay, about 340 kilometers (210 miles) southeast of Manila, were evacuated before the typhoon struck Tuesday. Sampal said she saw the wind topple electric posts and lift roofs off houses. Sampal said residents were worried after witnessing Haiyan’s horrific aftermath in the central Philippines last November. “We’re used to and prepared for calamities,” Sampal told The Associated Press by cellphone. “But when people heard that the eye of the typhoon will hit the province, they feared we may end up like the victims of Yolanda,” she said, referring to the local name of Haiyan. Haiyan’s strong winds and tsunami-like storm surges flattened towns, leaving at least 6,300 people dead and more than 1,000 missing. “I was scared because our house was being pounded by strong wind and rain. We were drenched in the rain,” Lucille Navarro, a 35-year-old mother of two, said by cellphone from a crowded evacuation shelter in Albay. Rammasun, the Thai term for god of thunder, is the seventh storm to batter the Philippines this year. About 20 typhoons and storm lash the archipelago on the western edge of the Pacific each year, making it one of the world’s most disaster-prone countries.

Bucs, Oilers take 1 game in twin bill By JOEY KLECKA Peninsula Clarion

Both the Peninsula Oilers and the Anchorage Bucs have both seen their share of struggles in recent weeks, so both squads looked pretty reluctant to leave the park Tuesday at Coral Seymour Memorial Park with a doubleheader split. The Oilers took the first game 1-0 and lost the second 5-3, and as the scores indicated, both games were significantly different. “Our defense has been playing really well,” said Oilers coach Kyle Richardson. “I don’t remember us playing this well on

defense, and of course we make some mistakes, like every team, but we’ve been picking up the slack here.” With the Alaska Goldpanners of Fairbanks running wild on a current nine-game win streak, the Bucs and the Oilers need every win they can get to keep up. Currently, the Panners lead the Alaska Baseball League American League with a 13-5 record, one game ahead of the Bucs and seven ahead of the Oilers. “Anything can happen,” Richardson said. “Fairbanks won 10 of 11, and who’s to say they can’t lose 10 of 11?” Oilers pitcher Jimmy Nesselt

made sure to put the first game away early, going all seven innings in a tidy 1 hour, 26 minutes. He threw the shutout with two hits, no walks and three strikeouts to improve his starting record to 3-2 and his ERA to 3.93. “That was dominant,” Richardson said. “I’ve never seen a guy dominate like that in this league. That was one of the most impressive starts I’ve seen in a long time.” Richardson said pitching coach Brian Baisch talked to Nesselt before the game about mixing up his fastball location high and down low, adding that

his expertise on pitching on a vertical plane has been a big difference. “My changeup worked well today,” Nesselt said. “I kept them off-balance enough with my changeup to make the fastball look a lot harder and more effective.” Nesselt made sure to give catcher Nick Thurman the deserved credit for calling his pitches. “I don’t think catchers get enough love from their pitchers when they do well, and he was great today,” Nesselt said. “He was calling a great game and I was pretty much agreeing with

everything he was saying. We had some great chemistry together.” The lone run of the game came in the bottom of the fourth. After three straight singles from Jordan Sanford, Alex Rubanowitz and Mylz Jones loaded the bases, Ethan McGill grounded into a double play and brought Sanford home. In the top of the seventh, Nesselt retired all three batters quickly and capped the game with a swinging strikeout of Dylan Butler, his second of the day. Bucs pitcher Evan Manarino (1-2) wasn’t too shabby on the

AL sends off Jeter with win in All-Star game RONALD BLUM AP Sports Writer

MINNEAPOLIS — Derek Jeter soaked in the adulation from fans and players during one more night on baseball’s national stage, set the tone for the American League with a pregame speech and then delivered two final All-Star hits. Mike Trout, perhaps the top candidate to succeed the 40-year-old Yankees captain as the face of the game, seemed ready to assume the role with a tiebreaking triple and later a go-ahead double that earned the 22-year-old MVP honors. On a summer evening filled with reminders of generational change, the AL kept up nearly two decades of dominance by beating the National League 5-3 Tuesday for its 13th win in 17 years. “I think let Mike be Mike. I don’t think people

have to necessarily appoint someone to a particular position,” Jeter said. “He’s got a bright future ahead of him. I don’t know how much better he can get, but if he consistently does what he’s doing, then he will be here for a long time.” Miguel Cabrera hit a two-run homer to help give the AL champion home-field advantage for the World Series. No matter what else happened, from the start it seemed destined to be another special event for Jeter. He made a diving stop on Andrew McCutchen’s grounder to shortstop leading off the game and nearly threw him out at first, then received a 63-second standing ovation when he walked to the plate before his opposite-field double to right leading off the bottom half. He was given another rousing cheer before his single to right starting the third and 2 1-2 minutes more applause after AL manager John Farrell sent Alexei

Ramirez to shortstop to replace him at the start of the fourth. As Frank Sinatra’s recording of “New York, New York” boomed over the Target Field speakers and his parents watched from the stands, Jeter repeatedly waved to the crowd, exchanged handshakes and hugs with just about every person in the AL dugout and then came back onto the field for a curtain call. “It was a special moment and it was unscripted,” Jeter said. “I was unaware of it.” NL manager Mike Matheny of the Cardinals didn’t want it to stop. “The guys on our side have the utmost respect for him and would like to have been standing out there for a little while longer,” he said. “I think Derek was the one that was uncomfortable with it.” While not as flashy as Mariano Rivera’s AllStar farewell at Citi Field last year, when all the

other players left the great reliever alone on the field for an eighth-inning solo bow, Jeter tried not to make a fuss and to deflect the attention. Even during his clubhouse speech. “He just wanted to thank us,” Trout said. “You know, we should be thanking him.” A 14-time All-Star who was MVP of the 2000 game in Atlanta, Jeter announced in February this will be his final season. His hits left him with a .481 All-Star average (13 for 27), just behind Charlie Gehringer’s .500 record (10 for 20) for players with 20 or more at-bats. While the Yankees are .500 at the break and in danger of missing the postseason in consecutive years for the first time in two decades, Jeter and the Angels’ Trout gave a boost to whichever AL team reaches the World Series. The AL improved to 9-3 since the All-Star game started deciding which league gets Series See STAR, Page A-11

Sports Briefs Saints sign Graham NEW ORLEANS — The New Orleans Saints on Tuesday confirmed a multiyear contract with Jimmy Graham, ending a protracted holdout for the star tight end. Graham skipped all of the Saints’ voluntary and mandatory practices and workouts — and challenged the NFL’s franchise tag process through arbitration. The odds of Graham leaving the Saints were slim since the club in late February placed its franchise tag on the player. The NFL Players Association filed a grievance, contending Graham was used as a wide receiver often enough to qualify for the more lucrative receiver tag, worth about $5 million a year more than the $7 million tag for a tight end. A hearing was held in June and earlier this month. Arbitrator Stephen Burbank sided with the NFL, ruling Graham was capable of continuing to perform specific tight end duties while lined up in the slot or within 4 yards of an offensive tackle.

Pistorious in nightclub altercation JOHANNESBURG — Oscar Pistorius was in an altercation at an upmarket nightclub over the weekend, his family said Tuesday. Pistorius went with a cousin to a trendy Johannesburg nightclub on Saturday, where he was accosted by a man who aggressively questioned him about his murder trial, a family spokeswoman said. The man gave a different version, saying the double-amputee runner was drunk, insulted his friends and the family of President Jacob Zuma and poked him in the chest, according to Johannesburg’s Star newspaper. Regardless of who started the argument, the weekend episode focuses fresh attention on the disputed character of Pistorius, a globally recognized athlete who is on trial for murder after he fatally shot girlfriend Reeva Steenkamp through a closed toilet door on Feb. 14, — The Associated Press 2013.

hill either. Manarino gave up one run on five hits but had nine strikeouts in six innings of work. “He had a great game, the problem was we had two base hits go through the infield and then a bunt from Mylz (Jones) over there and not one person laid out for the ball,” said Bucs coach Tony Cappuccilli. “We talked about that after the game, we gotta play harder.” The second game started a bit messier for the Oilers, as a run was given up by starting pitcher Dan Kolodin in the top of the first when Cade Reiten tagged home on a wild pitch to give the Bucs their first run of the day. Kolodin went the first five innings with two earned runs on six hits, one walk and four strikeouts.

After a big fifth inning that saw the Oilers get out of a bases-loaded jam in the top of the inning, then grab a 3-1 lead in the bottom of the frame on two singles from Sanford and Rubanowitz, a crucial error was made in the top of the sixth. With two outs and two men on base, Anchorage’s No. 8 batter, Chane Lynch, belted out a single, bringing Mark Krueger and Evan Powell home to tie things up at three runs apiece. Richardson took the blame for the decision to not intentionally walk Lynch. “We should’ve walked Lynch to pitch to West. Bottom line,” Richardson said. “I made a mistake of letting us throw to a better hitter with an open base, we should’ve walked Lynch and pitched to West. That’s what beat us. “Hindsight’s 20-20, and nine times out of 10, I walk that guy and hit with an open bag and

pitch to the nine-hole hitter every time.” The go-ahead run came on a wild pitch by Icezack Flemming in the top of the seventh that brought Dylan Butler in to score. Sanford batted 2 for 3 with an RBI to lead the Oilers. The two teams will play the rubber match of the five-game series today 7 p.m. at Seymour Park.

Chicago waives Boozer

002 020

CHICAGO (AP) — The Chicago Bulls said goodbye to forward Carlos Boozer on Tuesday, using the amnesty clause to cut the veteran forward after four seasons with the team. Boozer came to Chicago in a sign-and-trade deal with Utah in July 2010. The two-time All-Star averaged 15.5 points and nine rebounds in 280 games with the Bulls. He had one season left on a five-year deal worth roughly $75 million. The amnesty clause allows a team to waive one player during the current labor deal and have 100 percent of his salary taken off the cap and the tax. The 6-foot-9 power forward is still owed the money. “Carlos epitomized professionalism in everything he did for the Bulls both on the court, and in the community, during his time here in Chicago,” general manager Gar Forman said in a release. “Over the last four seasons, Carlos’ productivity helped elevate our team to another level. I have nothing but respect for Carlos, and certainly wish him the best as he moves forward.” The 32-year-old Boozer took to Twitter to thank the team for his four seasons with Chicago. The Bulls also waived forward Lou Amundson and guards Ronnie Brewer and Mike James as they continue to clear salarycap space for the signing of freeagent center Pau Gasol and the first NBA contract for 2011 draft pick Nikola Mirotic. Chicago made two trades on Monday. It sent forward Anthony Randolph, two second-round draft picks and cash considerations to Orlando for the rights to Milovan Rakovic. It also traded forward Greg Smith to Dallas for the rights to Tadija Dragicevic. Wade stays with Heat Dwyane Wade is staying with the Miami Heat, and his latest deal is designed to give both the player and the only franchise he’s ever known some flexibility in the coming years. Wade signed a new contract with the Heat on Tuesday. It’s a two-year deal, the second of those seasons a player option, said a person familiar with the situation. The person spoke to The Associated Press on condition of anonymity because neither side announced terms. “I am proud to have spent every single day of my career as a member of the Miami Heat and to have brought three championship titles to this great city,” Wade said in a statement. “I’ve been here through the good times and the hard times. I have confidence in the Miami Heat organization and the team they are building.” Earlier Tuesday, Wade tweeted “Home Is Where The Heart Is... My Home,My City,My House” and attached a photo of himself standing below the three NBA championship banners that hang at Miami’s home arena. Financial terms were not announced, though it’s expected Wade’s salary for next season will not reach the $20.2 million he would have made under his previous contract. Heat President Pat Riley confirmed that Wade again bought into the Heat mantra of sacrifice. The contract he signed four years ago left millions on the bargaining-room table, in part to make the deals with LeBron James, Chris Bosh and Udonis Haslem. C

Detroit’s Max Scherzer, in line to be the most-prized free agent pitcher after the season, pitched a scoreless fifth for the win, and Glen Perkins got the save in his home ballpark.

Jeter was cheered before his first at-bat. He was introduced by a recording of late Yankees public address announcer Bob Sheppard’s deep monotone. St. Louis pitcher Adam Wainwright left his glove on the mound and backed up toward second, clapping along with the crowd of 41,048. “I tried to tell him to pick it up — let’s go,” Jeter said. “But he took a moment and let the fans give me an ovation which I will always remember.” When Jeter finally stepped into the batter’s box, he took a ball and lined a 90 mph cutter down the right-field line for a double. “I was going to give him a couple pipe shots just to — he deserved it,” Wainwright said. “I thought he was going to hit something hard to the right side for a single or an out. I probably should have pitched him a little bit better.”

Children’s books in Cup’ik available on app BETHEL (AP) — A new app features a translation of a New Zealand children’s book series into Cup’ik, through a language preservation project. The Cup’ik Milly-Molly storybook app was developed with a language innovation grant from the Association of Alaska School Boards, KYUK reported. The app was developed to help Cup’ik students learn their language and share it. The grant was awarded to the Kashunamiut School District, a single-site district for Chevak, one of two Bering Sea villages where Cup’ik is still spoken. Robert Whicker, director of the association’s consortium for digital learning, and other AASB members traveled to Chevak to help with the recording of the series in Cup’ik. But they decided they could save time and money by sending Cup’ik speakers to a New Zealand recording studio. Three months after the recording was completed, the Cup’ik versions of the series are now available in the iTunes store. The series also has been translated into other languages. Whicker said the Cup’ik version is a way of helping to preserve Native languages. “Now we have 20 Alaskan Native languages, some on the verge of being very endangered and some on the verge of disappearing,” he said. “And we’re seeing a strong interest at the state level and also the federal in the preservation of these languages.” The app is considered an interactive book. When a word is tapped, it is pronounced. When a word is double-tapped, there is a syllable pronunciation. Whicker said the series is being downloaded worldwide. “They’re being downloaded in Russia, they’re being downloaded in Europe, they’re being downloaded on the East Coast of the United States,” he said. “Why? I’m not really sure, but there’s an interest in learning and seeing how other people communicate in their native language.” Chevak is a western Alaska community of almost 1,000 located about 140 miles northwest of Bethel.

for the start of the Kenai River dipnet season, which started July 10. In a press release sent July 7, Ruffner announced that deadline would also not be reached. After talking with Endries about a completion date, Ruffner said the expectation for the road to be open is July 26. Alaska Department of Transportation spokesperson Jill Reese said the watershed extended its work permit to Aug 9. KWF Development Director Josselyn O’Conner said she is confident the roadway will be open July 26. The road will be gravel before Endries Company repaves the surface. Crews worked last Saturday to meet their final deadline, she said. Ruffner said part of the plan was to replace all the utilities over and under the creek. A phone line was accidently cut early in the project, but the sewer and water services were not, he said.

appropriate for the use of the building, so that is was conducive to recreation.” With its newly developed playground and disc golf course, the demolition will allow for expansion of recreational offerings, Floyd said. Tim Colbath, who runs Alaska’s Extended Life Animal Sanctuary in Nikiski, spoke to the assembly at the July 1 meeting against the demolition. Colbath said he thinks there are multiple uses for the vacant portion of the building such as offices for oil and gas industry businesses or for an animal rescue facility, if the borough decides exercise animal control practices. “The building still has good life and use left,” he said. Officials with the borough and the borough school district visited the building after the July 1 meeting as a part of the

This is the first time Endries Company has worked on a watershed project, Ruffner said. Endries was awarded the job for $455,072 in a public bidding process, which received four submitted bids, one deemed non-responsive, he said. The project became more of a challenge than expected and nobody is satisfied with missed deadlines, he said. Project engineer Bill Nelson with Nelson Engineering said all the concrete has been poured and it will give the culvert a firm base. The curvature of the culvert made the concrete difficult to compact at the base and another construction technique was used which changed how much time was spent to prepare the bed before the culvert was set, he said. “It could have been done a different way, but we allowed them to proceed without having to prepare a large support area,” he said. “It’s the contractor’s choice when they do that work.” On Tuesday an inspector was on the job site observing the backfill procedure to ensure the structure is placed re-evaluation of the demolition plan. “If we have a need because of growth in the community, we may need it again as an elementary school,” Navarre said. … “That is probably something that would be very expensive to do, but that is something that we’re in the process of evaluating, whether or not it would ever be used again as a school.” But he said if the borough did convert the building back to a school, multiple issues would need to be worked out. With North Peninsula Recreation currently using the building for community purposes, if the group is displaced, a facility would need to be found or built for it, Navarre said. He said because the grant was awarded to the North Peninsula Service Area, if the borough uses the money to upgrade the building, compensation for the service area would need to be figured. “That building is 50 years old or more … sometimes it’s

properly, Nelson said. A crew of four started to backfill the 15-foot-deep hole. He said with a 100-foot right-of-way there are space limitations for how many people can be working in a confined area. For the culvert to be put in place, the stream needed to be diverted and all the water coming through the ground has made for a time-consuming process, he said. Nelson said when Beaver Loop Road was first built, the old culvert currently in place was just rolled into the hole and filled. The bottom of the culvert is up a few inches above the level of the stream, which limited small fish from reaching habitat. The new culvert in place is 2 feet below the level of the stream, which will allow ample water to flow through. The hole is being filled with clean soil to put around the culvert and soil not suitable for backfill is being removed. Inside the culvert gravel is laid down to recreate a natural streambed, he said. Multiple agencies have come out to look at the progress and

are pleased with how much effort has gone into maintaining quality water, Nelson said. “Young fish will be able to navigate through the culvert that reopens their habitat lost for many years,” Nelson said. “It has been a difficult project but certainly worth doing right.” Once the culvert is complete and backfill is stable, the old culvert will be removed and the stream will be diverted through the 100-foot culvert. The goal is to prepare backfill to a certain level then the stream can be turned back into it. Despite the delay, Nelson said the project has not gone over budget. He said while he understands Beaver Loop residents’ frustrations with how long it has taken, he said the job will be done right and better in the long run. “It is necessary to do the work properly,” he said. “The main thing is it will protect water quality and the construction meets holding standards.” Reach Dan Balmer at daniel.balmer@peninsulaclarion. com.

‘That is probably something that would be very expensive to do, but that is something that we’re in the process of evaluating, whether or not it would ever be used again as a school.’ — Borough Mayor Mike Navarre more expensive to convert an older structure like that than it is to build new,” he said. To abide by fire codes, upgrades to the sprinkler system are one of the more expensive costs associated with utilizing the empty space. Since the recreation center only uses a percentage of the building, it doesn’t need to upgrade its sprinkler system, Navarre said. He said the administration is considering whether the borough could go forward with marketing the unused portion of the building with the idea that the buyer would do the upgrades.

“It wouldn’t make sense that the borough would do the upgrades hoping that somebody would take it,” he said. Navarre said the borough spends about $50,000 annually to maintain the unoccupied portion of the building. The borough has a request for a proposal out for the demolition, re-roofing and re-siding, due back on July 23. If the project is postponed, work would likely be pushed back to next year, he said.

About Fourth of July Estes Park and Fort Collins, Colorado 1940’S

randma brought a jar of her pickled peaches and red cinnamon apple rings. Grandma’s home made sliced bread, with home churned butter was always a must on your picnic plate. Sometimes I ate that first because it was just like dessert! Packing to keeping things cold was a chore too. No fancy big coolers on rollers, with frozen packs inside. Picnic baskets, lined with table clothes, crushed ice and later ice cubes, put in doubled plastic bags and tied tight in the bottom with the chicken and potato salad on top. News papers packed around the top. We had only one picnic basket so the other basket was a big box, lined with news paper and crushed ice in the bottom, pies carefully arranged on top and newspaper, table clothes and dish towels on top of to keep them cool. This was packed at the last minute just before we “took off for the mountains.” Mom’s scolding and worrying about not having anything spilled or tipped, was loaded into the very spacious trunk of the car by my Dad. Trunk lid shut, kids in the car all dressed in the finest picnic clothes, Mom got in last. Dad would look around and ask if we were ready to go. We, Ginger, John (Butch) and me, (Elaine and Jim were still twinkles) would say YUP, in great anticipation of a long trip to “the mountains.” Mom would say, hope I remembered everything. And yes, I almost forgot the big gallon jar full of Mom’s

lemonade with lemon and orange slices and the ice clinking inside the jar. That was wrapped in newspaper too and stored in a tight spot between the two picnic baskets. The third basket was full of dishes and silverware, serving spoons and the pickles. No paper plates in those early days!! The long trip to Estes Park was so much fun because Dad would stop half way up, beside the river, take off his shoes and socks and sit on a rock and soak his feet. I suspect it was potty break for us kids also. Grandpa and Grandma with Les and Marvin in their car and Norman and Ruth in theirs, would pull up and stretch and take big whiffs of “that wonderful mountain air.” All loaded back in the cars, we took off for Estes Park and the picnic patch beside the river. Unload the cars and spread out the blankets on the grass, the women would unpack the food, while Dad and Grandpa would be down at the river - what else - soaking their feet in the cold water. Dad would get us kids to do that for a short while, but we had other things to explore with

our uncles. Running along the river, throwing rocks and hear them click clunk into the swift water still rings in my ears. AND that river and the picnic ground in Estes Park is where I had my first taste of Double Bubble Gum. Thanks to my Uncle Marvin!! I still remember the great taste. I still buy a piece of Double Bubble once in a while! Years later when I went to High School, we would go into Fort Collins to the lake where there was picnic tables and a roller skating rink and a little train that ran around the outer edges of the picnic ground. We would join all the friends and neighbors for the “fireworks.” Setting on the little knolls on a blanket waiting to see the fireworks explode over the lake was a big thrill for this farm gal that had hardly ever gone into town except to shop for grocery’s or clothes. It was a “wonderment” - Dads words. Sometimes we got to go the parade in the mornings to see them marching down the streets of Fort Collins. It was a busy time of year for Dad so we either went to the parade or the fireworks, not both. Susan relates that in Church Sunday was the best sermon ever about the Fourth of July! They sang “My Country t’is of Thee” And “TheStar Spangled Banner” all four verses, not usually heard. This was the song. her son, Joey used to sing before Football in High school. She also said, because of the founding Fathers principles, our counrty was founded on Christianity and they were not afraid to declare it.

It was probably 15 years ago that I discovered the magic that is a nearly empty jar of jam. Until then, I’d always hated those sticky knuckle moments of scraping the slimy dregs of the jar, hoping I had enough to add that sweet balance so needed by the otherwise leaden smear of peanut butter on my bread. Then an Italian cook who was supposed to be teaching me pasta making got sidetracked. She wanted a salad to go with our orecchiette, and she wanted to make her own vinaigrette. That’s when she reached for a nearly empty jar of strawberry jam from the refrigerator, dumped in some olive oil, a splash of balsamic vinegar, some salt and pepper. Then she put the cover back on the jar and shook like mad. Revolutionary? Hardly. But it was delicious. More importantly, it changed my relationship with jam. It wasn’t just a sandwich spread. And it totally made sense. After all, a jar of grape jelly has long been the not-so-secret ingredient for many a potluck meatball. And since that day, I’ve used a dollop of one jam or another in nearly every vinaigrette I’ve made. And that’s just the start. I regularly turn to jams and jellies for adding oomph to everything, including sweet-and-sour chicken (apricot jam), barbecue pork ribs (seedless raspberry), beef marinades (orange marmalade), ham glazes (blackberry or cherry), sweet-and-savory dips for vegetables and crackers (red pepper jelly), even sandwich spreads (anything goes!). It’s a cheap and easy way to add tons of flavor. If nothing else, you really must try fig jam in a grilled cheese (use extra-sharp cheddar). Fruit spreads — as the retail category is collectively known — accounts for some $959 million in sales a year in the U.S.,

serves are well suited to game birds, like apricot. Add a little water to the preserves and spices like cloves, black pepper and cardamom to make a glaze. It’s a great finish to the dish.” APRIL BLOOMFIELD: Bloomfield, the chef behind the James Beard Award-winning New York restaurant The Spotted Pig, favors adding cranberry jelly to pan sauces for meats. It’s an easy way to gussy up a simple sauce. “It makes it glossy and adds a touch of sweetness to something gamey like venison,” she said.

Jams and jellies are good for adding oomph to everything, including sweetand-sour chicken (apricot jam), barbecue pork ribs (seedless raspberry), beef marinades (orange marmalade), ham glazes (blackberry or cherry), sweet-and-savory dips for vegetables and crackers (red pepper jelly), even sandwich spreads.

where some 1 billion pounds are produced, according to the International Jelly and Preserve Association. And the leading variety? Strawberry, followed by grape, then raspberry. Not that you’re limited to those basics. The jam and jelly market has exploded with unusual flavors and combinations in recent years. Some of them — such as Bathtub Gin’s cocktail-inspired creations — are particularly suited for spooning into sauces for savory meats or over cheeses. Knowing I’m not alone in loving this utterly low-brow food trick, I asked the pros for their favorite outside-the-PB&J uses for jams and jellies. TED ALLEN: “Jams and jellies are valuable shortcuts for sauces and vinaigrettes because those preserves — note that word — are always in the pan-

try, bright and tart and sweet and ready to go,” Allen, host of Food Network’s “Chopped,” said via email. “They can add a depth, complexity and acidity to a lot of foods without requiring washing or peeling (or, for that matter, a trip to the market). “Pork, duck and turkey notably benefit from the addition of fruit,” he said. BED FORD: Ford, the chef behind Ford’s Filling Station in Culver City, California, and the cookbook, “Taming the Feast,” loves jams for their simplicity. It’s part of what makes them so versatile. He particularly likes tomato jam. “I use it for a seafood cocktail sauce, a mignonette for oysters, or as a lamb burger condiment along with goat cheese, roasted spring onions and apple wood smoked bacon,” he said via email. “Other jams and preC

DORIE GREENSPAN: We’ve all seen that easy party food of a slab of cream cheese topped with pepper jelly. But baking and French cooking expert Greenspan takes the cheese-and-jam pairing upscale. She tops sheep’s milk cheese with black cherry jam, and mixes raspberry jam with balsamic vinegar and dollops that on sliced mozzarella. But it isn’t just about adding sweetness. “I often use bitter orange marmalade as a glaze for roast chicken,” she said. “I like using citrus with chicken. It sharpens and brightens the pan juices, and adding a marmalade glaze ups the citrus pop without really adding sweetness. When the marmalade cooks, its bitter edge becomes more prominent.” MELISSA D’ARABIAN: d’Arabian of Food Network’s “Ten Dollar Dinners” is a fan of the classic party meatball, but she breaks with the grape jelly tradition, preferring raspberry jam, instead. She also likes to spice it up. “I love to make cocktail meatballs and coat them in a bit of jam jazzed up with some spice (like cayenne or chipotle) and acid (vinegar or lime juice),” she wrote. “That saltyspicy-sweet flavor is a perfect party starter!”

Poke holes in cake with a large meat serving fork. Pour the powdered sugar mix over hot cake. Put back in oven-turned off-5 minutes. Remove and chill.

LAM attacks women in the prime of their lives, but many don’t know they have it. The symptoms are so common—shortness of breath, chest pain, chronic cough—that women are often misdiagnosed with asthma or chronic bronchitis. In more extreme cases, some women experience lung collapses yet still go undiagnosed. Could you or someone you know have LAM? The LAM Foundation is leading the fight against this tragic disease, advancing research for potential treatments and a cure. The Foundation offers support and resources for women with LAM.

of PAUL ARTHUR BEEVER, Deceased.

Case No. 3KN-14-93

Public Notice City of Kenai, PWSID# 240448 Elevated Arsenic Levels in Drinking Water The water sources used by the City of Kenai contain arsenic. Arsenic is a naturally occurring mineral in the ground that may dissolve and contaminate water supplies. It is a common contaminant found in groundwater wells located throughout the Kenai Peninsula. In 2006, the federal Environmental Protection Agency lowered the maximum contamination level (MCL) for arsenic in drinking water from 50 parts per billion (ppb) to 10 ppb. Our routine arsenic test results vary depending on what wells we are using, but have historically ranged from ND (non-detectable) to 31.10 ppb. What do these arsenic test results mean? Our arsenic levels do not represent an immediate public health risk. This is not an emergency. If it had been, you would have been notified within 24 hours. However, some people who drink water containing arsenic in excess of the MCL over years could experience skin damage or problems with their circulatory system, and may have increased risk of getting cancer. What should you do? If you have specific health concerns, please consult your doctor. If you have a severely compromised immune system, have an infant, are pregnant, or are elderly, you may be at an increased risk and should seek advice from your health care providers about drinking our water. What are we doing about it? We are currently working with the State Department of Environmental Conservation (DEC) and will be collecting arsenic samples on a quarterly basis from any source that exceeds the arsenic MCL of 10 ppb. At the beginning of 2014 we were using water solely from well 2 which provides water that is below the arsenic MCL. Upon the completion of our newest well in April 2014 we began using well 2 and the new well 2B. Both of the wells are within regulatory limits for arsenic. Due to higher demand during summer months, and much lower than expected production from 2B, the two wells are not able to keep up with demand, and it was necessary to supplement our water production with wells 1 and 3. Both of those wells provide water that is in exceedance of the arsenic MCL. Wells 1 and 3 will be monitored for arsenic on a quarterly basis and compliance will be calculated on a running annual average at each sampling point. If we continue to exceed the MCL, we will work with the State to further address the issue. If our system was piped in such a way that we could mix the water from all four wells in a tank before delivering it to our customers, the arsenic test results from the mixed water would most probably fall below the MCL. However because the mixing occurs only in the water mains, and some of the wells test higher than the MCL, we must issue this notice. During the times of highest demand we produce only approximately 20% of our water from wells 1 and 3. During times of lower demand, we produce typically 0% and up to 20% of our water from these wells. This public health advisory is required by the State and provided to you by the City of Kenai to help ensure that your health is protected. For more information regarding this notice please contact Sean Wedemeyer, Public Works Director, with the City of Kenai at 907-283-8240. Notice Issuance Date: July 14, 2014.

Booklet helps nervous parents talk to their kids about sex Every Teen Should Know,” was written to help parents break the ice and get the conversation going. It can be ordered by sending your name and address plus check or money order for $7 (U.S. funds) to Dear Abby Teen Booklet, P.O. Box 447, Mount Morris, IL 61054-0447. Shipping and handling are included Abigail Van Buren in the price. You should review it before starting the discussion so you can prepare beforehand to answer questions or guide the conversation. My booklet provides answers to frequently asked questions, such as: How old must a girl be before she can get pregnant? Can she get pregnant the first time she has sex? What time of the month is a girl 100 percent safe? How old must a boy be before he can father a child? Another important topic is how to avoid date rape and what to do if it happens. Included is information on contraception and sexually trans-

mitted diseases (and how to recognize them). My booklet has been distributed in doctors’ offices and used to promote discussion by educators and religious leaders, as well as parents like you who find it difficult to discuss these topics with their children. DEAR ABBY: I recently started a summer job in the fitting room of a clothing store. Customers often ask me what I think about their outfits, and the most common question is, “Does this make me look fat?” How do I answer if the outfit DOES make the woman look fat? These women want honesty, but how do I avoid sounding rude? — CONFLICTED IN NEW JERSEY DEAR CONFLICTED: Try this: “The color is great on you. Let’s get it in another size and it’ll be perfect. Sometimes garments have been mismarked.” (It’s true.) Dear Abby is written by Abigail Van Buren, also known as Jeanne Phillips, and was founded by her mother, Pauline Phillips. Contact Dear Abby at www.DearAbby.com or P.O. Box 69440, Los Angeles, CA 90069.

Peanut brittle is back! Dear Heloise: Can you please reprint your Heloise peanut brittle recipe? I haven’t made it in years, and I cannot find the recipe! — Ellen S. in Indiana This recipe is so easy and quick, because you make it in the microwave. Gather the following ingredients: 1 cup of granulated sugar 1/2 cup of light corn syrup 1 1/2 cups of raw (skin on) peanuts 1/8 teaspoon of salt 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract 1 teaspoon of butter 1 teaspoon of baking soda Place aluminum foil over a cookie sheet (with sides) and spray lightly with nonstick cooking spray. In a large, microwave-safe bowl, combine sugar, corn syrup, peanuts and salt. Mix together. Place in the microwave (wattages vary, so you may need to adjust the times) and heat on HIGH for 8 minutes, stirring well halfway through cooking. Stir in the vanilla and butter, and microwave another 2 minutes on HIGH. Carefully take the bowl out, because it will be very hot! Add the baking soda and stir until the mixture becomes foamy and light. Be careful not to overstir! Quickly pour the mixture onto the cookie sheet using a metal knife. You may need help with this. Evenly spread the mixture to about 1/4-inch thickness. Let it cool, then break into pieces and store the peanut brittle in an airtight container or a plastic, zip-top bag. — Heloise

DEAR ABBY: Help! My daughter just turned 13, and I need to discuss the facts of life with her. I don’t know where to start. My mom told me absolutely NOTHING, and I know my daughter needs to be educated in a simple but very understandable way — especially in these times. Do you still have your booklet that gives teens answers to questions on sex? I need ideas on how to approach this. — NERVOUS MOM IN ILLINOIS DEAR NERVOUS MOM: Because many parents find the subject of sex embarrassing, they postpone discussing it with their children. When “the talk” finally happens, it is often too late. Their child’s head is filled with information received from contemporaries, and often what they’ve heard is inaccurate. Today, children are maturing years earlier than they did a generation ago. It’s not unusual to hear about teens engaging in adult activities at much younger ages than teens of earlier generations. That is why it’s so important for parents (and guardians) to begin discussions about alcohol, drugs and family values well before their children start experimenting. My booklet, “What
