In the news Juneau police seek information on vandalism

JUNEAU — Juneau police are seeking help in identifying suspects in the vandalism of a local middle school. Police say the suspects were caught on surveillance camera, but since they’re minors, police are not releasing those pictures. Instead, the department is asking adults who know the children who live near the school for their help. Police also would like for parents to ask their kids about the case. Police say five or six kids between seven and 13 years old are believed to have been involved in blowing up cans of body spray behind the school on July 26. Police say the kids also are suspected of damaging a window to get into the school, where a vending machine was pried open and snacks were taken. — The Associated Press

NOME, Alaska — For the first time, centuries-old fishing knowledge from the Upper Kobuk River is being recorded. The knowledge that is in us, in our brains, has not ever been written,” said Virginia Commack, tribe manager for the Native Village of Ambler, “not even the elders, we learned it from, which is like 500 plus years old. I’d say it’s a 1,000 or more years knowledge that we’ve never been able to write down to pass onto our children.” Commack said the transcriptions will contain holistic traditional fishing knowledge: how to harvest and process fish, how to observe fish habitats and populations, and how to safeSee HISTORY, page A-8

Campaign signs stolen around Soldotna By KELLY SULLIVAN Peninsula Clarion

As political signs pop up around the Central Kenai Peninsula signaling that election season is in full swing, some Soldotna residents are noticing what they believe to be is the systematic removal of the advertisements. Mary Toutonghi said whoever is illegally taking the signs is targeting democratic candidates and legislature.

‘We don’t want to have to go so far as to prosecute, but it does qualify as vandalism.’ — Mary Toutonghi, Soldotna resident They are also being taken from private property, she said. “It needs to stop,” Toutonghi said. “We don’t want to have to go so far as to pros-

ecute, but it does qualify as vandalism.” Richard Waisanen said he has been helping place signs around the city for about a month. The first to be removed

were knocked over and piled nearby from where they were erected at the Soldotna “Y.” Waisanen said that when installing political signs within the city it is important to be aware of the size of the right-of-ways bordering the city’s streets. They range between three and 30 feet, he said. Waisanen said he checked with the city to make sure it was not them removing the signs, and that they were prop-

erly posting them outside of the right-of-ways. The Planning and Zoning department said they have not touched the signs. Toutonghi, Frank Mullen and Megan Lacross reported a number of signs were stolen including nonaffiliated candidate Eric Treider for Senate District O, Vote Yes on Ballot Measure 1 to repeal Senate Bill 21, Sen.

By WESTON MORROW Fairbanks Daily News-Miner

FAIRBANKS — After years of searching and one false start, the state has purchased land it says will become the location for the Interior’s first veterans’ cemetery. The Alaska Department of Military and Veterans Affairs announced Thursday it has purchased 320 acres of land in Fox. The land is located about two miles down Goldstream Road on the west side of the trans-Alaska oil pipeline on a hilltop looking south, according to the department. The state purchased the lot from John and Ramona Reeves,

paying them $2 million for the land. The Legislature allocated the money for the purchase. The U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs will foot the bill for the cemetery’s construction, having promised $9 million to ensure the graveyard meets the standards of the VA’s other national cemeteries, according to Kalei Rupp, a spokesperson for Military and Veterans Affairs. The Fox cemetery will be the third veterans’ cemetery in the state and the first in the Interior. The department already operates veterans’ cemeteries in Southeast Alaska in Sitka and in Southcentral on Joint Base Elmendorf-Richardson

outside Anchorage. Rep. David Guttenberg said he’s delighted the state finally can begin work on land to give veterans in the Interior a final resting place nearby. “I think it’s a long time coming,” the Fairbanks Democrat said. “Even before I started working on it there was a need for it.” Guttenberg brought the idea before the Legislature in 2009, and the state believed it had found a suitable location last year. That location, a 40-acre plot off Gold Mine Trail, was later deemed unfit for the cemetery because of permafrost. After the first location was See VETS, page A-8 C

BP asks US Supreme Court to hear settlement appeal By JANET McCONNAUGHEY Associated Press

NEW ORLEANS (AP) — BP PLC has asked the U.S. Supreme Court to throw out part of its settlement of claims for damage from its enormous oil spill in 2010 — a section saying businesses don’t have to prove that the spill directly harmed them to be eligible for payment, only that they lost money afterward and recovered in 2011. Claims administrator Patrick Juneau has awarded hundreds of millions of dollars to businesses whose losses “were not fairly traceable to the spill” in the Gulf of Mexico, including $76 million to businesses whose entire losses had absolutely nothing to do with it, the company’s lawyers wrote in

C

a request filed late Friday. Those included $3.5 million to an Alabama excavation company that had sold nearly all of its assets in 2009 and $172,000 to a lawyer whose license was revoked in 2009, they wrote. The high court hears arguments in 75 to 80 of the 10,000 appeals it gets each year. BP argued in its formal request for a hearing that it should

be one of those few heard by the nation’s highest court because the settlement goes against rulings in other federal districts and by the Supreme Court itself. When it canceled a class action suit against retail giant WalMart Stores Inc. in 2011, the Supreme Court ruled that members of a class had to have suffered the same injury, they wrote. “Claimants whose purported injuries did

not result from the spill cannot have suffered the ‘same injury’ as those who actually did suffer spillrelated loss,” the appeal said. Lead class attorneys Steve Herman and Jim Roy said, “BP cowrote and agreed to every word in the Settlement Agreement,” including Juneau’s policy. “It is not surprising that the Courts have all told BP to honor its word,” they said in an emailed statement.

What Others Say

Details needed in proposed New England pipeline Kinder Morgan Energy Partners wants

to add a 30- to 36-inch diameter, 180-mile spur to its Tennessee Gas Pipeline between Wright, N.Y., and Dracut. This additional natural gas may be needed in New England. While the owner hasn’t identified a preferred route, land owners who live in northern Massachusetts have been getting letters requesting access to their property for purposes of a survey. Realistically fearing that access to a survey means that a pipeline might run through their land as a fait accompli, many residents have denied the request. Ultimately, their denial may not do much other than stall for time. However, those denials do send a message to the pipeline owner that the spur isn’t going to be a welcome neighbor. That is understandable. Very few people would willingly buy a house or land that abuts a pipeline. Slicing a swath across the northern tier of Massachusetts — in Franklin, Berkshire and Worcester counties — to place a spur of the Tennessee Gas Pipeline isn’t something that should be done if it can be avoided. And it sounds like it can. According to MassLive.com reporter Dan Warner, “When asked why Kinder Morgan doesn’t build the pipeline along an existing infrastructure route, such as the Massachusetts Turnpike, (Kinder Morgan spokesman Allen) Fore said the company is considering that option. He said there is a conflict between the amount of space the pipeline requires and the space the state wants to keep open. “We will talk about the Mass. Pike in more detail,” he said. “We will talk about Route 2 in more detail.” Pressed again about this issue on Monday, Richard Wheatley, Kinder Morgan’s director of corporate communications, said those routes are considered “alternate routing that is under consideration. We’re not prepared to get into detail.” Let’s hear those details — both about the Massachusetts Turnpike and Route 2 — before those planning the spur cook up a plan to use virgin land in residential areas. With two viable east-west routes and wide rights of way acquired long ago, adding a third for the sake of a pipeline appears to be both unnecessary and disruptive to people and the environment, not to mention costly. Why bother holding a public meeting if the spokesman can’t or won’t answer compelling questions?

Constitutional crisis for fun, profit

Republicans and Democrats are consumed in a vicious debate over which party wants to talk about impeachment more. Democrats say it is lunatic Republicans who are scheming, as we speak, to impeach the president. Republicans say it is manipulative Democrats who are eager to play up the nonexistent chance of impeachment to motivate their voters in the midterm elections. It is certainly true that conservatives have talked about and advocated impeachment, most recently Sarah Palin in a call to arms. My colleague Andrew McCarthy wrote a serious book-length consideration of the topic, “Faithless Execution: Building the Political Case for Obama’s Impeachment.” But the Republican political leadership -and for that matter, almost all Republicans in Congress -- has shown zero interest. In fact, it has long demonstrated a positive allergy to the topic, believing that it will be a politically damaging nonstarter. Nothing about this changed during the past few weeks, yet all of a sudden Democrats are acting as if it is February 1868 or December 1998 all over again, and the president is on the verge of losing an impeachment vote in the House. This manufactured panic can get Democrats only so far. The reality is that House Speaker John Boehner’s lawsuit, which they say is part of the nefarious impeachment plot, will, even if successful, have little practical effect beyond establishing the precedent of Congress suing the president.

“I just have to continue to say this notion that somehow I can just change the laws unilaterally is just not true,” he told Latino journalists in response to a question about acting alone on the DREAM Act in 2011. “The fact of the matter is there are laws on the books that I have to enforce.” He went on to say, “We live in a democracy. You have to pass bills through the legislature, and then I can sign it.” Even President Obama got, or so it seemed, that he isn’t the legislator-in-chief, empowered to write and rewrite laws on his whim. Oh, for those halcyon days. Not too long after, he went ahead and did the unilateral enactment of a version of the DREAM Act immigration activists wanted. Now, he is reportedly on the cusp of doing something much bigger. The White House must know that the politics of his unilateral amnesty, especially if it prompts a push for impeachment, will be highly divisive. But the tea leaves say that the White House will welcome the division. It may well believe that its contemplated extralegal act is a win-win, delivering what it wants substantively (amnesty for millions) and politically (a debate on impeachment it assumes will be a loser for Republicans). In other words, the president will be stoking a constitutional crisis because it suits his purposes. If callow cynicism were a high crime, his impeachment and removal would be a foregone conclusion.

Obama can do a lot to change immigration By ALICIA A. CALDWELL Associated Press

AP News Analysis

WASHINGTON (AP) — What can President Barack Obama actually do with— The Republican of Springfield (Mass.), July 29 out Congress to change U.S. immigration policies? A lot, it turns out. There are some limits under federal law, and anything the White House ultimately decides to do may be challenged in court as unconstitutional. But leading legal experts say By GARRY TRUDEAU the White House almost certainly could delay indefinitely efforts to deport millions of immigrants already in the U.S. illegally, and it could give them official work permits that would allow them to legally find jobs, obtain driver’s licenses and pay income taxes. Here is what Obama could not do without approval from Congress: He couldn’t generally give large groups of immigrants permission to remain permanently in the United States, and he couldn’t grant them American citizenship. And he couldn’t generally make them eligible for federal or state social benefit programs, such as welfare payments, food stamps or the administration’s health care plans. “There is prosecutorial discretion which can be exercised in these sorts of situations,” said Leon Rodriguez, a former Justice Department lawyer and the newly confirmed director for U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services. “In most enforcement realms, generally there is pretty broad discretion.” Rodriguez spoke earlier this week on Capitol Hill during an oversight hearing for the House Judiciary Committee. With Congress declining to approve significant changes to immigration laws, the White House is hinting that Obama is considering broadening a program known as Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals to temporarily shield from deportation many young immigrants who came to the U.S. as children and allow them to get a work permit. Immigration reform advocates have

But Democrats hold the trump card in the tussle over impeachment. All reports are that President Barack Obama is considering a sweeping action on immigration so clearly unlawful that it will, at the very least, pres- Rich Lowry sure Republicans to consider impeachment more seriously. Just imagine the Democratic fundraising emails then! Obama aide Dan Pfeiffer’s puppy-dog enthusiasm for invoking impeachment when discussing the president’s immigration plans suggest the White House is counting on a furious Republican reaction to its move. If this is truly the gambit, it is dime-store political nihilism. First and foremost, there will be the violence done to our system of government. A big unilateral amnesty that affects millions of people won’t be an exercise in so-called prosecutorial discretion. It isn’t declining to enforce the law in a specific instance because of limited funds and personnel. It is expending resources to implement an entirely new dispensation. There is some leeway for executive discretion, or deferred action, in immigration law, but everyone has always understood that it’s very limited. Not too long ago, President Obama eloquently explained why.

been pushing to include parents of U.S. citizens and the parents of young immigrants already protected under the earlier program, which covers more than 700,000 immigrants so far. All told, expanding the program could affect as many as 5 million immigrants who came to the U.S. illegally. Republicans in Congress, including House Speaker John Boehner, have complained that Obama is failing to enforce U.S. laws by effectively disregarding illegal immigration. The House Judiciary Committee chairman, Rep. Bob Goodlatte, R-Va., said Obama’s immigration policies are “undermining the fundamental constitutional principles that Congress creates the law and president is bound to enforce them.” In a direct challenge to Obama’s policies, the Republican-led House on Friday night passed legislation that appeared designed to prevent those who’ve already gotten work permits under the deferred action program from renewing them, ultimately making them subject to deportation. With the Senate controlled by Democrats, the bill seemed unlikely to advance. So, how powerfully can Obama act without approval by Congress? Obama announced in March that he had directed Homeland Security Secretary Jeh Johnson to review the administration’s immigration enforcement polices and recommend any possible changes. In May, Obama delayed the review to allow Congress time to act on immigration reform before it adjourned this week for the summer. Before leaving for the August recess Congress did not pass legislation to provide the funding Obama requested to help deal with the more than 57,000 unaccompanied child immigrants, mostly from Central America, who have crossed the border since Oct. 1.

Obama said Friday that House Republicans were trying to pass the “most extreme and unworkable bills,” knowing they wouldn’t make it to his desk. On Friday night, the House approved a bill that would send migrant youths back home without hearings, a measure that also appeared destined to go nowhere in the Senate. “That means while they’re out on vacation, I’m going to have to make some tough choices to meet the challenge, with or without Congress,” the president said. Immigration law requires congressional action to create a benefit program for a specific class of people. The Obama administration said the young immigrants protected under the childhood arrivals program don’t count as a class because each request not to be deported is reviewed individually, on a case-by-case basis. David Leopold, a Cleveland immigration lawyer who has supported Obama’s previous administrative changes to immigration law, said nothing in the law requires the government to deport every immigrant living in the country illegally. The law “makes someone deportable, but that boils down to enforcement of immigration law. And that is open to enforcement priorities,” Leopold said. Rodriguez told lawmakers that the government doesn’t have the resources to deport the more than 11 million immigrants estimated to be living illegally in the United States, “so, the question is, are we going to let them persist in the shadow economy or are we going to have them work and pay taxes?” Obama has already pushed the bounds of his authority on immigration law further than his predecessors. After a broad immigration bill failed in 2007, President George W. Bush ordered his staff to come up with every possible change he could make without the approval of Congress.

Strong quake kills 367 in China By JACK CHANG Associated Press

BEIJING— A strong earthquake in southern China’s Yunnan province toppled thousands of homes on Sunday, killing at least 367 people and injuring more than 1,800. About 12,000 homes collapsed in Ludian, a densely populated county located about 366 kilometers (277 miles) northeast of Yunnan’s capital, Kunming, China’s official Xinhua News Agency reported. The magnitude-6.1 quake struck at 4:30 p.m. at a depth of 10 kilometers (6 miles), according to the U.S. Geological Survey. Its epicenter was in Longtoushan township, 23 kilometers (14 miles) southwest of the city of Zhaotong, the Ludian county seat. Ma Liya, a resident of Zhaotong, told Xinhua that the streets there were like a “battlefield after bombardment.” She added that her neighbor’s house, a new two-story building, had toppled, and said the

The more destructive of the two was threatening the town of Burney, where officials at Mayer Memorial Hospital decided to evacuate their 49-bed annex for patients with dementia and other conditions requiring skilled nursing. The patients were transferred to a hospital in Redding, about 55 miles away, the hospital reported on its website. The Shasta County sheriff had Burney on an evacuation watch after ordering residents of three small neighboring communities to leave on Saturday night. Sgt. John Greene said the area is sparsely populated

and that authorities did not yet know how many residents were affected or if the destroyed homes were vacation houses or permanent dwellings. Evacuations also remained in effect for a community on the edge of the second fire, which was sparked by lightning Wednesday. The two blazes were among 14 that federal, state and local fire crews were tackling on Sunday in central and Northern California, state Department of Forestry and Fire Protection spokesman Dennis Mathisen said. Together, they have consumed more than 183 square

miles of timber and brush left parched by the state’s extended drought, Mathisen said, adding that the coming week promises not to be any easier. “Today we are looking at slightly cooler temperatures, but Northern California continues to be hot and dry and breezy in some areas, and in fact we are looking at a fire weather watch going into effect Monday morning for a large portion of Northern and northeast California and possible thunderstorms, which could mean more lightning,” he said. -Associated Press

Ohio’s algae woes began a decade ago By JOHN SEEWER Associated Press

Around the World DONETSK, Ukraine — Fighting raged Sunday on the western outskirts of Donetsk as the advancing Ukrainian army tried to seize control of the rebel stronghold. In danger of being encircled, the separatists renewed their calls for Russia to send troops to their aid. To support their operations, the pro-Russian fighters have been confiscating vehicles and food from residents and businesses in Donetsk. The center of the major industrial city is all but deserted, with few people or cars on the streets and most stores and restaurants closed. A spokesman for the Ukrainian military operation, Alexei Dmitrashkovsky, told The Associated Press that government soldiers were fighting Sunday to hold positions they had taken on the edge of Donetsk, but were meeting resistance. In the part of the city closest to the fighting, an artillery shell hit a school overnight, but no one was reported hurt.

California wildfire destroys 8 homes BURNEY, Calif. — A pair of wildfires burning without restraint about 8 miles apart in northeast California became the focus of state and federal firefighters Sunday as authorities reported that one of the blazes had destroyed eight homes and prompted the precautionary evacuation of a small long-term care hospital. The two fires, among 14 burning in the state, started within a day of each other in Lassen National Forest and had expanded into private property and scorched 90 square miles as of Sunday morning, up from 39 square miles a day earlier.

toxins that can sicken people and kill pets. In fact, the problems on the shallowest of the five Great Lakes brought on by farm runoff and sludge from sewage treatment plants have been building for more than a decade.

Around the Nation Supreme Court unwilling to step into legal fight over controversy execution drugs WASHINGTON — No one on the Supreme Court objected publicly when the justices voted to let Arizona proceed with the execution of Joseph Wood, who unsuccessfully sought information about the drugs that would be used to kill him. Inmates in Florida and Missouri went to their deaths by lethal injection in the preceding weeks after the high court refused to block their executions. Again, no justice said the executions should be stopped. Even as the number of executions annually has dropped by more than half over the past 15 years and the court has barred states from killing juveniles and the mentally disabled, no justice has emerged as a principled opponent of the death penalty.

With midterms looming, House shows GOP unable to solve immigration woes WASHINGTON — Midterm elections that will decide control of the Senate are three months away, and the 2016 presidential campaign will start in earnest soon after. Yet the Republican Party still can’t figure out what to do about illegal immigration. It’s the issue that vexed Republicans as much as any in their 2012 presidential loss. It’s the one problem the party declared it must resolve to win future presidential races. And it still managed to bedevil the party again last week, when House Republicans splintered and stumbled for a day before passing a face-saving bill late Friday night. The fiasco proved anew that a small number of uncompromising conservatives have the power to hamper the efforts of GOP leaders to craft coherent positions on key issues — including one that nearly two-thirds of Americans say is an important to them personally, according to an Associated Press-GfK poll released last week. -Associated Press

Toledo officials warned residents not to use city water early Saturday after tests at one treatment plant showed readings for microcystin above the standard for consumption, most likely because of the algae. Drinking the water could

Israel withdraws troops from Gaza By KARIN LAUB Associated Press

GAZA CITY, Gaza Strip— Israel withdrew most of its ground troops from the Gaza Strip on Sunday in an apparent winding down of the nearly monthlong operation against Hamas that has left more than 1,800 Palestinians and more than 60 Israelis dead. Even as Israel said it was close to completing its mission, heavy fighting raged in parts of Gaza, with at least 10 people killed in what U.N. and Palestinian officials said was an Israeli airstrike near a U.N. shelter. The United States lashed out at Israel, saying it was “appalled” by the “disgraceful” attack. And with Hamas officials vowing to continue their fight, it remained uncertain whether Israel could unilaterally end the war. Israel launched its military operation in Gaza on July 8 in response to weeks of heavy rocket fire, carrying out hundreds of airstrikes across the crowded seaside territory. It then sent in ground forces July 17 in what it said was a mission to destroy the tunnels used by Hamas to carry out attacks.

Hamas has fired more than 3,000 rockets into Israel during what has turned into the bloodiest round of fighting ever between the two enemies. Lt. Col. Peter Lerner, an Israeli military spokesman, confirmed the bulk of ground troops had been pulled out of Gaza after the military concluded it had destroyed most of the tunnel network. He said Israel had detected some 30 tunnels that were dug along the border for what he called a “synchronized attack” on Israel. “We’ve caused substantial damage to this network to an extent where we’ve basically taken this huge threat and made it minimal,” he said. The army had thousands of troops in Gaza at the height of the operation. In southern Israel, armored vehicles could be seen rolling slowly onto the back of large flatbed trucks near the Gaza border, while soldiers folded flags from atop a tank and rolled up their belongings and sleeping bags. Lerner said, however, that the operation was not over and that Israel would continue to target Hamas’ rocket-firing capabilities and its ability to infiltrate Israel. C

IRBIL, Iraq — Militants with the Islamic State extremist group on Sunday seized two small towns in northern Iraq after driving out Kurdish security forces, further expanding the territories under their control, officials and residents said. The fresh gains by the Sunni extremist militants have forced thousands of residents to flee from the religiously mixed towns of Zumar and Sinjar, toward the northern self-ruled Kurdish region, the United Nations said. Some of them were trapped in an open rugged area, it added. Mosul Governor Atheel al-Nujaifi, who fled to the largely autonomous Kurdish region when the Islamic State group and allied Sunni militants seized Iraq’s second-largest city of Mosul in June, told The Associated Press that the two towns fell after fierce clashes that erupted the day before. A resident in Sinjar said the militants blew up a small revered Shiite site and two Yazidi shrines. Yazidis are a Kurdish-speaking sect and religious minority. Another resident in Zumar said they took over at least two small oil fields.

Syrian rebels kill 10 troops, capture others in Lebanon BEIRUT — Syrian rebels killed 10 Lebanese troops and likely captured over a dozen more in a raid on a Lebanese border town, the country’s military chief said, the most serious spillover of violence yet into the tiny country from its neighbor’s civil war. The capture of Lebanese soldiers and police raised fears that the country could become further entangled in the Syrian civil war and could worsen already-brewing sectarian tensions. “What happened today is more serious than what some people imagine,” Lebanon’s army chief, Gen. Jean Kahwaji, told journalists. As fighting raged Sunday, some residents tried to flee from the eastern Lebanese border town of Arsal, home to 40,000 residents and 120,000 Syrian refugees. -Associated Press

Junior pulls out broom Earnhardt notches Pocono victory DAN GELSTON AP Sports Writer

LONG POND, Pa. — Dale Earnhardt Jr. traded hats, waited for his cue, and flashed three fingers for the cameras. That’s one for every win. The beer baths, champagne toasts, selfies, and photo opps in Victory Lane are almost routine now for Junior. He added a new wrinkle at Pocono, a broom. Earnhardt hoisted the broom high over his head after he completed a season sweep at Pocono Raceway, the third win in a season that has served as a career renaissance for NASCAR’s most popular driver. Earnhardt now holds the No. 1 seed in the Chase for the Sprint Cup championship. Can he keep the momentum headed into NASCAR’s version of the playoffs? “You’re the broadcaster,” Earnhardt teased crew chief Steve Letarte about that question. “You don’t,” the departing Letarte said. “You’re too far from the Chase.” The legion of Junior Nation fans roared when Earnhardt

stormed ahead of the pack off the final restart with three laps left for the lead. His third win, he also won the Daytona 500, tied him for the most in Sprint Cup this season. Earnhardt held off the hardcharging Kevin Harvick to become the first driver to sweep both races at the track since Denny Hamlin in 2006. He tweeted “Lookin for a broom” last week when he landed in Pocono. He found one in Victory Lane. “This group all really enjoys each other,” Earnhardt said. “We want to see everybody happy.” They had tons of fun inside the Pocono media center. Letarte acted hurt when his nameplate didn’t have the same three winner’s stickers that were on Earnhardt’s card. Earnhardt also brought a Make-A-Wish Foundation teen to the podium and made sure he’d have his own namecard and stickers. “This is my buddy, Chris. Does he get one,” Earnhardt said. They all got their stickers — the same ones applied to the See RACE, Page A-7

McIlroy keeps his momentum DOUG FERGUSON AP Golf Writer

AKRON, Ohio — Winning the British Open wasn’t enough to make Rory McIlroy want to take the rest of the year off to celebrate. Neither was the first World Golf Championship he won Sunday at Firestone. Another major awaits next week. McIlroy can’t wait to get there. Two weeks after his wire-towire win at Royal Liverpool, McIlroy took his game from the links of Britain to the parkland of America and made the game look just as easy. With another powerful performance, he wiped out a three-shot deficit to Sergio Garcia in three holes, closed with a 4-under 66 and returned to No. 1 in the world with a two-shot victory in the Bridgestone Invitational. He looked just as good as the last time he reached No. 1 in the world during his torrid stretch at the end of 2012.

“This is better,” he said. “Mentally, I’m really sharp. I didn’t start to think about score. I didn’t think about where I was in the tournament. I just playing shot after shot after shot. So yeah, it’s good.” Garcia wasn’t at his best and closed with a 71. He’s not sure it would have mattered. “Everybody saw it,” Garcia said. “He played very, very well. He drove the ball miles and very, very straight for the most part. He gave himself a lot of birdie looks.” McIlroy finished the third round with two straight birdies, and not even one day and a rain delay slowed him. He punched an 8-iron out of the rough, under the trees and up the slope to an elevated green to 3 feet to open with a birdie. He drilled a 4-iron from 219 yards into 25 feet for a two-putt birdie at the second, and then followed with a gap wedge to 8 feet for a third straight birdie. Garcia made boSee GOLF, Page A-7

Woods’ back injury flares up DOUG FERGUSON AP Golf Writer

AKRON, Ohio — Tiger Woods was stricken with more back pain Sunday and withdrew after eight holes at the Bridgestone Invitational. He struggled to even take off his golf shoes before being driven away to an uncertain future. In his third tournament since returning from back surgery, this had the look of a serious setback. Woods injured himself playing a shot from edge of a bunker on the par-5 second hole. With all weight on his right leg, he took an awkward slash at the ball, fell back toward the sand and landed with a thud, and kept jogging out of the bunker from sheer momentum of the steep drop. “I just jarred it, and it’s been spasming ever since,” Woods told a PGA Tour official before leaving. Woods kept playing, hitting a number of shockingly bad shots. He hit one into the water from the fairway on No. 3, coming up some 30 yards short of the flag. And on the par-3 fifth hole, his tee shot was 65 yards short of the hole. From a bunker left of the

seventh green, he blasted out and back into the fairway and made double bogey. He grimaced at impact when he hit a 315-yard drive into the left rough on No. 9. Woods slowly stooped over with his right hand on his leg, reached toward his back and slowly bent down to remove the tee from the ground. Moments later, he stepped into a cart and headed for the parking lot. At his car, Woods could barely switch out of his golf shoes. His caddie, Joe La Cava, drove him away. “It’s just the whole lower back,” Woods said. “I don’t know what happened.” Masters champion Bubba Watson said he didn’t see Woods hit the shot that hurt him on No. 2, though he could tell as the round went on that something wasn’t right. “He hit some shots that we’re not used to seeing Tiger hit, even when he’s coming back from an injury like this,” Watson said. “So obviously, something was bothering him. ... Like I told him when I shook his hand, I said, ‘I’m praying for you. Hope everything turns out good. Hope to see you next week.’”

Giants beat Bills as NFL kicks off CANTON, Ohio (AP) — Andre Williams ran up some big numbers at Boston College. The fourth-round draft pick is showing glimpses that can do it for the New York Giants, too. Williams had seven carries for 48 yards and scored on a 3-yard run in a 17-13 victory over the Buffalo Bills on Sunday night in the preseason-opening Hall of Fame Game. “It gives me confidence. I feel like I’m supposed to be here,” said Williams, who C

led the nation with 2,177 yards rushing last season. “I’m part of the team now.” And a more important part with David Wilson sidelined after sustaining his second neck injury in less than a year. Filling the No. 2 spot behind newly acquired starter Rashad Jennings, the Heisman Trophy finalist helped provide the Giants’ re-tooled backfield a 1-2 punch. “I though he played well, and that was encouraging,” coach Tom Coughlin said. “David Wilson’s injury not-withstanding,

it’s very important to us no matter what, because you need a natural rotation.” Williams’ score, which came after a 21yard scamper off left tackle, put the Giants up 7-3 late in the first quarter. Rookie receiver Corey Washington scored the go-ahead touchdown on a 73yard pass up the right sideline from backup Ryan Nassib with 13:18 remaining. Washington reached back to catch the partly under-thrown pass, then stepped around flat-footed defender Kamaal McIlwain.

Lackey wins in his Cardinals’ debut By The Associated Press

ST. LOUIS — John Lackey won his St. Louis debut when the Cardinals rallied for three runs in the seventh inning, capped by a go-ahead from rookie Oscar Taveras to beat the Milwaukee Brewers 3-2 on Sunday. The Cardinals took two of three from NL Central-leading Milwaukee and pulled within one game of the division lead. Lackey (1-0) was the Cardinals’ big catch at the trade deadline that capitalized on Boston’s sell-off. The righthander who won the clinching Game 6 of the World Series against St. Louis last fall held Milwaukee to two runs in seven innings and is 12-7 overall.

struck out 10 while pitching three-hit ball for seven innings, earning his first win in a month as the Washington Nationals beat Philadelphia. Strasburg (8-9) had been 0-3 in his previous five starts, losing his last three outings. He walked one and didn’t permit a runner past second base. Denard Span had two hits, two steals, an RBI and scored a run for NL East-leading Washington.

No. 88 Chevrolet. Earnhardt also became the fifth straight Hendrick Motorsports driver to win at Pocono. Owner Rick Hendrick was not at the race, though he did talk to his winning driver on the phone on pit road. “I told him thanks for believing in me and making my life better,” Earnhardt said. Earnhardt’s sweep followed Kasey Kahne and Jimmie Johnson last year and Jeff Gordon in the August 2012 race. Earnhardt has his most wins since he won six times in 2004. His three wins are one shy of his combined total from 20052013. His win Sunday was the 22nd of a career still without a

Cup championship. “We had a fast car all day,” Earnhardt said. “Steve’s strategy was perfect at the end. I don’t know if anyone knew what was going on there, but it was pretty awesome.” Earnhardt said before the race his No. 88 Chevrolet was better than his winner in June. They were both fast enough to take the checkered flag. He had a bit of luck in his first win when debris slowed down race leader Brad Keselowski. On Sunday, no one could touch Earnhardt over the final 14 laps. “We were determined to go home from the last win and improve the car,” he said. Earnhardt and Letarte are clicking in their final season together. Hendrick Motorsports named Greg Ives the crew chief for 2015 once Letarte heads to the broadcast booth.

REDS 7, MARLINS 3 MIAMI — Billy Hamilton scored three times to help the Cincinnati Reds break out of an offensive slump and beat Miami. Todd Frazier had a season-high four hits and Devin Mesoraco hit a two-run single for the Reds, now 5-11 since the All-Star break.

CUBS 7, DODGERS 3 LOS ANGELES — Edwin Jackson pitched six innings for his first victory in six weeks and Chris Coghlan hit a tiebreaking two-run homer as the Chicago Cubs beat the Los Angeles Dodgers. Jackson (6-11) was 0-4 with a 7.39 ERA in his previous seven starts.

DIAMONDBACKS 3, PIRATES 2 PHOENIX — Arizona runner Nick Ahmed put his arms up as he slid into second base and deflected a potential double play relay in the 10th inning, and the Diamondbacks beat Pittsburgh. Manager Clint Hurdle and the Pirates lingered on the field to argue with the umpires, to no avail. The umpires said the call couldn’t be challenged.

TIGERS 4, ROCKIES 0 DETROIT — Anibal Sanchez struck out 12, Victor Martinez hit a three-run homer and the Detroit Tigers finished off

“I think he’s going to make me look bad,” Letarte said. “Mr. Hendrick has a remarkable talent of matching drivers with crew chiefs.” Harvick, who clinched a spot in the Chase, was second, followed by Joey Logano, Clint Bowyer and Greg Biffle. Gordon finished sixth a week after he won the Brickyard 400. He led a race-high 63 laps and passed 24,000 career laps led in the No. 24 Chevrolet and 1,000 laps led at Pocono. He still holds a 17-point lead over Earnhardt in the standings. Earnhardt would have the No. 1 seed because he was one more win than Gordon. Earnhardt, who swept a track for the first time since Talladega in 2002, had few cars left to hold off on the lead lap after several potential contenders got knocked out.

gey from the rough, and just like that, he was trailing. The Spaniard never caught up. McIlroy became the 13th player with a major and a World Golf Championship, and he joined Tiger Woods as the only players to win them in consecutive starts. McIlroy heads south to Valhalla with a full head of steam. After a brief celebration with the claret jug, he was determined to move forward and chase more titles over the final four months of the year. He backed it up with a powerful performance on a soggy Firestone course to take the top spot in the world from Adam Scott. “That’s the most pleasing

thing about this week is not dwelling about what happened at Hoylake,” he said. “That’s what I’ll have to do after this, as well. I’ve just got to keep moving forward. It’s great to have a chance to try to go there to win three in a row. But if you’d have asked me what I’m proudest of this week, it’s the mindset that I took into here of not being complacent. I wanted to come here and really contend.” McIlroy finished at 15-under 265 and won $1.53 million, leaving him $765 short of Bubba Watson on the PGA Tour money list. More important was the world ranking. He lost the No. 1 position in March 2013 when his game was in a downward spiral as he was adjusting to a new equipment deal and going through another management change. But since winning the BMW

PGA Championship at Wentworth at May, his game looks as strong as ever. “Obviously, Rory is in incredible form at the moment,” Scott said. “He’ll be the man to beat next week by the look of things. And I’ll be gunning for him, for sure.” BARRACUDA CHAMPIONSHIP RENO, Nev. — Geoff Ogilvy won the Barracuda Championship after nearly skipping the event following another disappointing finish last week in the Canadian Open. Ogilvy won his eighth PGA Tour title and first since 2010 at Kapalua, scoring five points with a 25-foot eagle putt on the par-5 13th and pulling away for a five-point victory in the modified Stableford event.

In 2009, Chenault became Speaker of the House. “I try, in my position, to look at all the issues and try to make informed decisions that benefit my community and the constituents that live in it,” Chenault said. “And then I’ll look at the state issues and see how that parlays into particular pieces of legislation and that sways my opinion on how I vote.” Without visiting communities throughout Alaska to learn about them, it’s difficult to make informed decisions on different pieces of legislation, he said. “That’s why as Speaker, I’ve always been very open, to (legislators) especially, traveling around the state,” he said. “… What better way to learn than to get people out there and actually, one, see part of the state they represent and two, be introduced to different ways of life.” Chenault said the citizens in his district are from “all walks of life” ranging from the oil and gas industry to education, two subjects Chenault said he feels very comfortable working to improve. “I don’t concern myself with the things that folks want,” he said. “I concern myself more with the things that people need. We need good fire service areas, we need good schools, we need infrastructure to be able to move from one place to another.” Presently, Chenault serves as

Alaska Department of Fish and Game. Commack said all the information will be reviewed by the community’s elders and then distributed to the youth in the form of CDs. This initiative is being funded by a $39,942 grant from the National Park Service Historic Preservation Fund. “The National Parks Service distributes these grants to Indian tribes, Alaska Natives, and Native Hawaiian organizations to help them preserve significant tribal places, culture, and tradition,” said park service spokesman Mike Litterst. For Ambler, Commack said,

the traditions recorded through the grant will be used to protect fishing hot spots and uphold the wellbeing of the river. “We need to know the health of the fish,” Commack explained, “because it’s one of the main diets of our people, besides the caribou, the moose, the bear, and other animals that we eat. It’s food on our table. It’s survival of our people, physically. “ Commack said fish, especially sheefish and salmon, can compose up to 75 percent of the community’s diet when land harvests are poor. And Commack said, in Ambler, where a quart of milk costs $5,

The biggest project Chenault said he has worked on during the last few years is the Alaska LNG Project. If re-elected, Chenault hopes to continue to focus on oil and gas and education funding issues. But, he said, his No. 1 priority is trying to figure out a solution to the Upper Cook Inlet fish issues. When he was 10 years old, Chenault’s family moved to Nikiski from New Mexico. He is married and has four children “I want (my kids) to have the opportunities that I had in Alaska,” he said.

Rocky Knudsen Retired construction and maintenance industry employee, Knudsen, 60, has lived in Nikiski since 1986. He has previously lived in Palmer and was born in Montana. Kundsen said he decided to run because he cares about the people of the Kenai Peninsula. “Another reason I decided to

maintaining subsistence resources stretches beyond cultural preservation to economic necessity. “A lot of us cannot afford even a whole month just eating off of the local stores,” said Commack. “It’s very expensive up here. And not only that, we’re used to eating the fish, the meat, the caribou, the seasonal food that we get in our area. We’re used to those, and our diet has to continue that way to be physically healthy.” Commack said the goal of the project is to preserve subsistence resources beyond seven future generations. Peninsula,” he said. “It seems like a perfect place for it, and I think that we need to look at that type of energy for our future. I think eventually it would make the energy cheaper for the people here.” And it’s something that should be looked into now, he said, for the future. Getting Alaskans good jobs requires them to be well-educated, Knudsen said. And while Knudsen thinks that elected officials need to spend more wisely, education is one area where funding needs to be sufficient. “I think the school districts need adequate funding to provide so they can provide good education for our children,” he said. “I don’t think when they get into situations where they have to layoff teachers and things like that I think that takes away from the education.” Knudsen said government transparency and increased public input are also things he would like to improve. “Everybody has opinions,” he said. “They need to express their opinions and a lot of times you can learn things from people. You learn from everybody. People just need to express their opinions because sometimes they just have some really good ideas.” Knudsen is married and has two grown children and volunteers at the Nikiski Senior Center.

run is because it wouldn’t be an election if people didn’t have a choice,” he said. With his experience in construction as a journeyman, supervisor and manager, Knudson said he understands the working people and their views on issues. One of his priorities, if elected, is to make sure Alaskans are trained and hired in-state. “When Alaskans are employed, money stays here,” he said. “And I like to see people have good jobs with good wages with benefits. When people make good money, they spend money, they buy things, they pay taxes and they build our economy.” With Nikiski as the proposed site for the Alaska LNG Project liquefied natural gas plant, if the project comes to fruition, he would like to see many of those jobs and jobs related to the project done by Alaskans. Through his career, Knudsen has worked on different oil and gas industry projects. And while it is an important aspect of Alaska’s economy, Knudsen would like to see other energy sources explored.

Alaska News Alaska man charged in wife’s death FAIRBANKS — Fairbanks police say a man who told authorities his wife committed suicide has now been charged in her death. The Fairbanks Daily News-Miner reports that John C. McDonald was arrested Friday and booked into the Fairbanks Correctional Center on a charge of first-degree murder. City spokeswoman Amber Courtney says the husband has been under investigation since March, when he reported that his 35-year-old wife, Crystal McDonald, fatally shot herself at their home.

Crime lab: DNA test doesn’t clear convicted killer FAIRBANKS — Alaska’s state crime lab could not exclude Michael Alexander as the source of DNA evidence found on the clothing of a Fairbanks girl he was convicted of killing more than 25 years ago. Alexander is serving a life sentence for the 1987 murder of Kathy Stockholm, a 17-year-old student at West Valley High School. The DNA test was part of a lawsuit to challenge Alexander’s conviction. It filed by the nonprofit Alaska Innocence Project. The Fairbanks Daily News-Miner reports that District Attorney Scott Mattern announced the crime lab’s finding Thursday. He says the DNA link between Alexander and the victim is sufficient evidence for the lawsuit to be tossed and for work to stop on DNA analysis of other evidence used at the 1988 trial. — The Associated Press C
