In the news Pro-Begich super PAC takes on Treadwell

JUNEAU — A super PAC that supports Democratic U.S. Sen. Mark Begich has a new ad that, for the first time, takes on Republican Senate hopeful Mead Treadwell.

Put Alaska First’s ad also features Republican Dan Sullivan, the presumptive frontrunner in the race who has been a target of the group for months.

Treadwell sees his inclusion as a sign that Put Alaska First sees him as a threat, with the Aug. 19 primary looming.

Put Alaska First’s treasurer declined to comment on that.

The ad says Treadwell launched a company that “pushed a national ID card,” in trying to paint him as supporting more government control.

Treadwell says a company he helped found in the 1990s made technology to validate the authenticity of currency, passports and photo identifications.

Hundreds flock to fourth annual Kenai Peninsula Beer Festival

Hundreds of craft beer enthusiasts came together to sample micro-brews from throughout the state Saturday at the fourth annual Kenai Peninsula Beer Festival in Soldotna.

With 22 participating state breweries, festivalgoers packed the beer garden outside the Soldotna Regional Sports

Complex from 5 to 10 p.m. to taste some unique creations from state brew masters. For $30 admission, guests received a 4-ounce glass and eight tickets to sample the variety of suds available. Live music and food trucks kept the crowds fed and entertained.

Event organizer Dr. Matthew Pyhala said all but five breweries in the state were represented. The Soldotna Rotary Club sponsored the event with proceeds going to local rotary projects. The sold

out festival had to turn away nearly 100 guests and turned out to be a great success, he said.

One of the projects that received funding was RAFT, ride assistance for transportation, which offers free rides to and from the hospital for people in need, Pyhala See BEER, page A-8

The north wing of the old Nikiski Elementary School will stand for at least one more winter.

The Kenai Peninsula Borough recently completed additional analysis of the unoccupied section of the building.

The re-evaluation showed that demolition of the north wing of the building is still the best option in accordance with the results of a 2007 analysis.

However, the borough has decided not to move forward with the demolition plans because the KPB School District and local companies have expressed interest in the currently vacant portion of the facility, according to a laydown memo from Borough Mayor Mike Navarre to the borough assembly.

KPBSD Board of Education president Joe Arness said he could see the portion of the building utilized for vocational educational programs.

“With the … expansion of the (oil and gas) industry out north, it was just an idea that ran into my head that, ‘Hey, there is some classroom space,’” he said. “Maybe that industry can use it, maybe the district can use it toward that purpose and whether or not that will happen or is even logical I don’t know.

It’s just an idea.”

Arness said moving forward his plan is to speak with people in the oil and gas industry and discuss their needs as well as talk with local state representatives about state support.

Egyptian cease-fire proposal accepted by Israel, Hamas

By MOHAMMED DARAGHMEH Associated Press

CAIRO — Israel and the Hamas militant group accepted an Egyptian cease-fire proposal Sunday, clearing the way for the resumption of talks on a long-term truce to end a month of heavy fighting in the Gaza Strip that has taken nearly 2,000 lives.

The announcement marked the second time in less than a week that the bitter enemies

had agreed to Egyptian mediation. A similar three-day truce last week collapsed in renewed violence over the weekend.

The truce took effect at midnight (2101 GMT), preceded by heavy rocket fire toward Israel.

In Cairo, the Egyptian Foreign Ministry said the cease-fire would allow humanitarian aid into battered Gaza neighborhoods and the reopening of indirect talks on a more lasting and comprehensive deal.

Hamas is seeking an end

to the Israeli-Egyptian blockade against Gaza, while Israel wants Hamas to dismantle its formidable arsenal of rockets and other weapons.

Palestinian negotiators accepted the proposal early Sunday after meeting with Egyptian officials throughout the weekend. Israeli officials concurred later. Both delegations are back AP Photo/Lefteris Pitarakis in Cairo.

Restricted from playing outside, displaced Palestinian children Qais Abdelkarim, a member play indoors in a high-rise building where their families had of the Palestinian delegation, rented flats for them to live, after leaving their homes due to the See CEASE, page A-8 unrest, in Gaza City, Sunday.

Study: Keystone carbon pollution more than figured

By SETH BORENSTEIN AP Science Writer

WASHINGTON — The much-debated Keystone XL pipeline could produce four times more global warming pollution than the State Department calculated earlier this year, a new study concludes.

The U.S. estimates didn’t take into account that the added oil from the pipeline would drop prices by about $3 a barrel, spurring consumption that would create more pollution, the researchers said.

Outside experts not connected to the study gave it mixed reviews. The American Petroleum Institute found the study to be irrelevant because regardless of the pipeline, the tar sands will be developed and oil will be shipped

by railroad if not by pipeline, spokeswoman Sabrina Fang said.

The researchers estimate that the proposed pipeline, which would carry oil from tar sands in western Canada to refineries on the Texas Gulf Coast, would increase world greenhouse gas emissions by as much as 121 million tons of carbon dioxide a year.

The department said this year that at most, the pipeline would increase world carbon dioxide emissions by 30 million tons.

Such emissions have been on the mind of President Barack Obama, who has said his administration would allow the pipeline to be built “only if this project does not significantly exacerbate the problem of carbon pollution.”

The new estimates, from scientists at the Stockholm Environment Institute, were published Sunday by the journal Nature Climate Change. Peter Erickson, lead author, said his work implies that the pipeline could basically wipe out reductions from some potential pollution-cutting policies under discussion.

The State Department declined to comment on the research by Erickson and co-author Michael Lazarus.

Lower prices may sound good, but there’s no free lunch, said Wesleyan University environmental economist Gary Yohe, who praised the work.

“Lower fuel prices are bad if they don’t include all of the social costs,” Yohe wrote in an email.

“Consumers are happy, but the planet is not necessarily.”

SAN DIEGO — J.K. Rowling published a new Harry Potter short story last month. And Daniel Radcliffe braced himself once again.

The 25-year-old British star faces consistent and persistent questions from fans and the press about whether he’ll return to the character that he spent much of his childhood playing.

Rowling’s story of a 34-year-old Potter posted online was not going to help matters.

“I go, ‘OK, thank you Jo. I’ll be answering questions about this,’” Radcliffe said in a recent interview. “She can’t help it. She wrote me 10 years older and people are still asking me if I’m going to be doing it.

He’s 10 years older than I am in this story so it’s really not even

a hypothetical at the moment. I would obviously never say never because that’s a foolish thing to say, but I would have to think long and hard before I ever went back to anything.”

Radcliffe was at Comic-Con International in San Diego promoting one of his two upcoming films, the darkly comic horror tale “Horns.” In it, he plays a man accused of killing his girlfriend who grows horns that prompt people around him to reveal their darkest secrets.

The actor is used to hearing unexpectedly personal stories from strangers. Fans tend to overshare some of their troubles when they get a chance to meet the man who played the famously scarred boy wizard in eight movies from 2001 to 2011.

Cultural changes in attitude toward TV

By DAVID BAUDER AP Television Writer

NEW YORK — Manjula Stokes has twice sworn off television, once throwing a set off her deck in a fit over an ex-husband’s sports obsession. Now she’s a devotee of programs like “Downton Abbey,” ‘’Mad Men,” ‘’Survivor” and “Masters of Sex.” The teacher from Santa Cruz, California, illustrates a subtle change in society’s attitude toward television. The medium is growing in stature, propelled by both art and technology. More worthy programs are available at a time when viewers are becoming more comfortable setting up their own schedules to watch.

“I feel it’s more like reading a good book,” Stokes said. “The

acting is better, the direction is better. I think it’s more serious as an art form.”

A CBS survey of 700 people in the U.S. with Internet and television connections last year found that 28 percent said they’re watching more television than they did a year ago. Seventeen percent say they’re watching less, with the remainder indicating their habits are unchanged.

That may not seem like much, but there’s a long history of people saying they are watching, or plan to watch, less TV — even as Nielsen measurements proved the opposite is true.

In other words, liking television is becoming more socially acceptable.

‘He’s 10 years older than I am in this story so it’s really not even a hypothetical at the moment.’

— Daniel Radcliffe, celebrity childhoods and very close to a lot of peoples’ hearts, yeah, you get people who do come up to you,” he said. “And I’m always happy to talk to people.

I never mind hearing something deeply personal, but I always do think, ‘Should you be telling me this?”

Radcliffe notes that soap opera actors face a similar phenomenon, since they’re in the homes of audiences so regu-

larly. Still, he doesn’t want to be the sole person hearing about tough times.

“I often say, you should talk to somebody else who you can have regular conversations with

television programming, not the latest art film or the latest play,” said David Poltrack, CBS’ veteran chief researcher. “You can go to a bar in a lower socio-economic neighborhood and they’ll be talking about television. They may be talking about different programs, but they’ll be talking about television.”

Now, for every award-winning drama there’s a series about botched plastic surgeries, naked dating or Kardashians. More than one, truthfully. But the push among cable networks during the past decade to make their own original series has significantly increased the amount of quality programs.

For years, polls uncovered a certain shameful attitude toward watching television.

When asked in 2000 how much time they spent watching TV the previous day, 84 percent of respondents told the Pew Research Center it was less than four hours. That didn’t jibe with the Nielsen company’s finding that the average American that year watched four hours, 15 minutes of television a day.

A Gallup poll in 1990 found 49 percent of people said they spent too much time watching

television. Only 19 percent said they watched too little. Nine years ago when CBS began its annual survey, more people said they were cutting back on TV time.

This year, Nielsen estimates the average American watches four hours, 50 minutes of TV a day.

“I think the quality is better,” said Yael Chanoff, a 25-year-old writer from San Francisco. She’s a fan of smart comedies like NBC’s “Parks & Recreation.”

Many older shows Chanoff has seen, even hits like “Friends,” strike her as cliché-ridden.

Some better shows now have an attention to detail that reminds Stokes, who is 59, of work done by the MGM movie studio during the last century.

Cory Phare, a 33-year-old academic conference director from Denver, said he grew up watching a lot of television but drifted away. The ability to binge on well-written dramas like “Breaking Bad,” ‘’The Americans” and “Dexter” through Netflix drew him back in. He just finished going back to watch the entire run of “The West Wing.”

“Even when I’m on a lunch break, I pull it up on my smartphone,” he said.

That’s another key to television’s resurgence. Viewers no longer depend on prime-time schedules set up in Hollywood boardrooms; they don’t even have to depend on television. Stokes, Chanoff and Phare all consider themselves fans of modern-day TV, and none of them have cable or satellite subscriptions.

“My friends all watch it on computer,” Chanoff said. She finds a friend with cable to watch “Parks & Recreation,” the only show she cares to watch live.

Television continues on firm footing financially, despite the rise of digital video outlets like Netflix and YouTube. The research firm eMarketer Inc. predicted TV ad spending will hit $78.6 billion in 2018, up from $66.4 billion last year.

What Others Say

‘Pumping for profit’ is exploitation Who owns the water? That’s the essential issue in a controversial plan to pump 26,000 acrefeet of groundwater over two years and sell it to a water district that runs from western Merced County into San Joaquin County.

The U.S. Bureau of Reclamation approved using the Delta-Mendota Canal to transfer water pumped from beneath 4-S Ranch Partners LLC and SHS Family LP to the Del Puerto Water District. Valued conservatively at $600 an acrefoot, the transaction could net ranch owners Steve Sloan and Stephen Smith and their partners $15 million or more.

Twelve pumps on Sloan’s 4-S Ranch and two on Smith’s neighboring ranch would extract the water. Since most of it would flow to other counties, there’s little opportunity for that water to replenish the aquifer from which it was pumped.

Since it is almost a certainty that the aquifer also underlies neighboring properties, nearby farmers are concerned. They worry that high-volume pumping will draw groundwater away from their wells, which they’re counting on to keep their trees and crops from dying.

Merced farmers have always combined river water and groundwater to irrigate crops, so those in the irrigation district have collectively invested in making their groundwater supply more sustainable. But there’s no realistic way to protect the groundwater they’ve conserved.

Laws in most California counties treat groundwater like a mineral that stays put. But groundwater moves around, flowing vertically and laterally toward a pump. And since most aquifers are vast, they can span many properties. That means whoever owns the deepest well or has the strongest pump can draw groundwater from beneath neighboring ranches.

No individual can sell surface water. That’s because the state actually owns all California surface water, granting only the right to use it. Starting in the 1880s, those rights were given to public irrigation districts, who divvied them up to member farmers. Those rights are enshrined in laws that go back to the 1850s, protected by lawyers standing guard over them like growling pit bulls. The state can’t break those laws, but it does encourage transfers.

Groundwater rules are different. Its use is essentially unregulated, except in a few urban counties. Virtually every rural county considers groundwater the property of the person with the pump. If that pump sucks water away from neighboring wells, well, that’s unfortunate.

Bob Weimer doesn’t mind sharing groundwater. Last year Merced Irrigation District pumped heavily so growers in Planada, LeGrand and El Nido could irrigate, he said. “We shared water within our district, taking our aquifer down to help those other growers.” This year, he said, there wasn’t enough, despite conservation efforts.

“We put in programs cutting back on flood irrigation, putting in retention basins to protect the aquifer,” said Weimer, who farms near 4-S Ranch. “And now you have somebody who comes along for private gain and pumps water outside of the aquifer.”

But not far outside. The 4-S water is destined for Del Puerto Water District, which has 9,000 acres in Merced County and whose growers are desperate to get it. To them, the groundwater sale is nothing less than salvation. They’re grateful and willing to pay.

The problem isn’t sharing water, it’s who profits from it.

If Del Puerto were buying surface water from an irrigation district, the money would go to the district and benefit all its members. But private groundwater sales benefit only the seller.

That’s why farmers — generally conservative and often downright disdainful of government regulations — might soon welcome state intervention. The legislature soon will consider bills for establishing state guidelines if not rules.

Besides, they might not have a choice.

A recent case in Siskiyou County, if it survives appeal, could change the groundwater legal landscape. After overpumping lowered the Scott River, a Superior Court judge ruled that groundwater feeding the river belonged to the public and not solely to those who owned the pumps. It’s entirely likely similar challenges are being prepared to protect the Merced, Tuolumne and Stanislaus rivers.

Water is water, except in a courtroom. In times of scarcity, it needs to be shared, not exploited.

The callow president

“Stop just hatin’ all the time.” If you haven’t been following the news, you might not know whether this bon mot was uttered by a character on the ABC Family show “Pretty Little Liars” or by the president of the United States.

Of course, it was the leader of the free world at a Kansas City, Mo., rally last week, imploring congressional Republicans to start cooperating with him. The line struck a characteristically — and tellingly — juvenile and plaintive note.

How many books and articles have been written by conservatives seeking to divine the philosophical beliefs and psychological motivations lurking beneath the president’s smooth exterior?

It’s certainly true that the president is much further left than he’d ever admit, but the deepest truth about Obama is that there is no depth. He’s smart without being wise. He’s glib without being eloquent. He’s a celebrity without being interesting. He’s callow.

It’s a trope on the right to say that Obama has quit, that he’s not interested in the job anymore. It isn’t true. If you are smug and unwilling to bend from your (erroneous) presumptions of how the world works, this is what presidential leadership looks like.

Obama is incapable of the unexpected gesture or surprising departure. He evidently has no conception of the national interest larger than his ideology or immediate political interests. In terms of his sensibility, he’s about what you’d get if you took the average

writer for The New Yorker and made him president of the United States.

The notion that Obama might be a grand historical figure was always an illusion, although at the beginning his rousing Rich Lowry words lent it some superficial support. Once the magic wore off, it became clear he’s not really an orator. His greatest rhetorical skill turns out to be mockery.

The man who once promised to transcend political divisions is an expert at the stinging partisan jab. What Winston Churchill was to thundering statements of resolve, he is to snotty put-downs.

During the 2012 campaign, he hit Republican nominee Mitt Romney with relish over his promise to cut funding for public television: “Elmo, you better make a run for it.” He has called the Ryan budget a “meanwich.”

He has made the Republican reaction to his lawlessness an ongoing joke.

His natural venue is the fundraiser or campaign rally, any gathering of adoring partisans who don’t need convincing that he’s the greatest wit since Oscar Wilde. They soak up his faux folksy, g-droppin’ assurances that he’s working for ordinary “folks,” and laugh at anything they suspect might be one of his brilliant barbs. Not since Thomas Jefferson

took snide swipes at the Federalists ...

The president’s constant complaints about everyone else in Washington playing politics while he high-mindedly devotes himself to substance have all the maturity of Holden Caulfield’s plaints about “phonies.” Please, grow up.

Ever since he lost the House in 2010 and could no longer operate on the basis of sheer brute force, the president has relied almost entirely on tactical cleverness. It has been impressive on its own terms, whether it involves the invention of the “war on women” in 2012 or the double-dog dare to Republicans to impeach him now.

But this is basically all he’s got -- besides his infamous “pen and phone.” He has already expanded the powers of the office beyond their legitimate bounds and may well take another quantum leap with an executive amnesty. But rarely has the presidency felt so small, at the same time discontents at home and chaos abroad loom so large.

Chris Cillizza wrote a post for The Washington Post the other day titled, “It’s virtually impossible to be a successful modern president.” This echoes analysis from the late 1970s that America had become ungovernable. It hadn’t. It just had puny presidents not up to the challenges of the day.

It’s not “hatin’” to expect something better -- or at the very least a little less pettiness.

Gains from GOP immigration push unclear

By ANDREW DeMILLO Associated Press

AP News Extra

LITTLE ROCK, Ark. — The ad war Democratic Sen. Mark Pryor and Republican Rep. Tom Cotton are waging over border security highlights just how much the GOP is counting on the immigration issue to boost their odds in the fight for an Arkansas Senate seat. It also shows how much Democrats are willing to engage on the issue.

The influx of thousands of young immigrants across the Mexican border and the fight in Washington over how to address it gives Cotton a chance to revive a topic he cited as one of his top concerns when he launched his bid to unseat Pryor a year ago. He’s getting help from fellow Republicans in his home state, who are opening a multi-front push that includes visits to the border and raising the prospect of legislative hearings as they try to keep the issue in the forefront over the August recess.

Based on Arkansas’ history, it’s far from certain whether it’s a strategy that

will offer gains.

Immigration has offered mixed results for Arkansas politicians on both sides of the debate. Efforts at the state level to push for new restrictions by barring many state services to those in the country illegally have fizzled before the state Legislature.

But so have repeated attempts to allow the state to charge in-state college tuition to the children of those here illegally.

The debate between Pryor and Cotton focuses primarily on the immigration overhaul measure approved by the Senate last year that most agree has no hope of ever being considered in the House. Cotton had spoken out against the measure before he launched his bid against Pryor, penning a column in the Wall Street Journal opposing the bill last summer, and he’s regularly referred to it as amnesty.

The measure creates a pathway to citizenship over 13 years for millions of immigrants in the country unlawfully, but also sets out a series of requirements for

securing the border that must be met first.

Cotton has continued focusing his criticism on Pryor’s vote on that measure, with his latest television ad and comments suggesting the latest influx can be blamed in part on the immigration reform bill. Cotton said immigration is the top issue that comes up when he talks to voters around the state.

“It’s not surprising when you announce to the world that you’re about to give amnesty to anyone inside the United States that people outside the United States start streaming across your border,” Cotton told The Associated Press before the ad began airing. “That was the utterly predictable consequence of that legislation along with the president’s policies.”

Hawaii Democrats seek unity after dramatic races

By CATHY BUSSEWITZ Associated Press

HONOLULU — Hawaii’s Democratic Unity Breakfast the morning after the primary election is traditionally a time for candidates to set aside their differences and coalesce against the Republican candidates they will face in November.

But the Sunday’s festivities were awkward this year after the primary left the top-ticket U.S. Senate race undecided and the sitting governor was trounced by his Democratic opponent.

Incumbent U.S. Sen. Brian Schatz and U.S. Rep. Colleen Hanabusa, the Senate candidates who are separated by only a slim vote margin, largely ignored one another as they sat at neighboring tables until they were finally forced to acknowledge each other with a hug in between their speeches to about 200 party faithful.

“This really is an extraordinary moment in Democratic Party politics for so many reasons,” Schatz said. “Colleen and I, in a very particular way, are not ‘pau,’” he said, using the Hawaiian word for done.

Hanabusa asked, “Where else would you have a situation like this? I mean, look at this election.

Two hurricanes, we were down to the wire.”

The other election drama was

resolved Saturday night, when Gov. Neil Abercrombie was resoundingly defeated by a fellow Democrat and onetime underdog who took on the 40-year politician. Abercrombie pledged his full support to Democratic gubernatorial nominee David Ige and linked arms with him onstage on election night.

The 76-year-old governor on Sunday reiterated his intention to help Democrats and reminisced about his political career. Choking up, he vowed: “My every breath until the last I take will be for Hawaii.”

As Democrats shifted their focus to defeating Republicans in November, the focus of the U.S. Senate race shifts to a remote region on the Big Island known as Puna, where up to 8,255 registered voters will be mailed ballots in the next few days.

In an unprecedented move, elections officials postponed voting in two precincts after Tropical Storm Iselle hit the state this week, damaging roads and downing trees on the Big Island.

Exactly how the election will proceed was unclear to candidates Sunday morning. The state faces a 21-day legal deadline.

“As long as civil defense deems the roads passable, they can start campaigning today,” said Stephanie Ohigashi, chairwoman of Hawaii’s Democratic Party. It will be a challenge to campaign in

the rugged volcanic region, where many homesteaders are without water and power, she said.

“People are going to learn a lot about that part of the state,” said former Gov. John Waihee.

“It’s made up of a lot of people who are very independent ... they like being country. They like where they live.”

The two Senate candidates were praising Big Island voters Sunday, with both candidates planning to fly there to continue their campaigns. Hanabusa’s team planned to head to the island later Sunday, said her spokesman, Peter Boylan.

“I’m a grassroots guy,” Schatz said in an interview. “I started my career walking house to house, wearing out several pairs of shoes, so I’m comfortable communicating to voters directly.”

Abercrombie, who led the state’s tropical storm response, said officials “will get this election completed in record time.”

“People deserve to have the elections handled in an expeditious manner that they can have confidence in,” he said.

After Saturday’s unprecedented ouster of the incumbent governor, fellow Democrats lavished praise on Abercrombie Sunday, prompting the governor to joke that he “hadn’t realized what incredible virtues I still possess” after the divisive race.

Democratic nominee for governor David Ige, left, and Lt. Gov. Shan Tsutsui, celebrate their election victories at the Democratic Unity Breakfast, Sunday in Honolulu. The traditional breakfast is traditionally held after Hawaii elections and is attended by both winners as well as losers.

just about every political office since he was first elected to the state House of Representatives in 1975, later moving to the state Senate, serving on the Honolulu

City Council and then holding nine consecutive terms as a congressman, from 1993 to 2010, when he returned to Hawaii fulltime to seek the governorship.

But the governor’s confrontational approach was a sour note for many voters, and he drew the ire of fellow Democrats last year with a proposal to raise taxes on retiree pensions, hotel rooms and plastic bags, among other things.

He also lost favor with the politically influential teachers union, which supported his candidacy in 2010 but turned against him in 2011 when he imposed a final contract that cut their pay.

Abercrombie is the first Hawaii governor to lose to a primary challenger and only the second not to win re-election. His defeat comes despite the endorsement of President Barack Obama in his native state. Obama also endorsed Schatz.

Now Ige, 57, a mild-mannered state lawmaker of 28 years who took on the powerful incumbent, has to step into a much higherprofile role. He acknowledged some of his campaigning skills need work.

After making an issue of the governor’s sometimes aggressive style during the campaign and promising he would be more collegial, Ige on Sunday praised the governor’s passion.

Ige, whose speech followed Abercrombie’s, said he had been advised to “have more passion and emotion, and that’s certainly something that I look to you and have always gotten from your speeches.”

Washington teenager arrested in 6-year-old’s death

BREMERTON, Wash. (AP) — A 17-year-old has been arrested in the death and sexual assault of a 6-year-old girl whose body was found near the Washington state mobile home park she vanished from last weekend, authorities said.

The boy was arrested Saturday without incident by deputies and FBI agents at his home in the same Bremerton-area mo-

bile home park, Kitsap County sheriff’s Detective Earl Smith said at a news conference.

The Washington state crime lab made positive confirmation of the suspect through forensic evidence. Earlier in the week, the sheriff’s office had collected DNA cheek swabs from dozens of nearby residents.

Smith said Saturday that the boy was being interviewed and

will be booked with second-degree murder, manslaughter and rape in the girl’s death.

The family of Jenise Wright was notified of the arrest about an hour after it took place. A growing memorial at the entrance to the neighborhood includes silver balloons, stuffed animals, lit candles and flowers.

“There’s a lot of grief,” Sheriff’s Office spokesman Scott

Wilson told The Seattle Times.

Wilson said he wasn’t sure if the suspect and Jenise knew each other. He pointed out that the community in and around the trailer park was small.

The FBI’s Specialty Search Dogs Unit discovered Jenise’s body on Thursday amid thick brush in a nearby wooded area.

Volunteer canine search teams had previously reported that

their dogs had showed interest in a particular area.

Jenise was last seen when she went to bed on the night of Aug. 2. Her parents waited a day before calling for help because they say the girl had wandered around the Steele Creek Mobile Home Park on her own in the past.

Officials have said that there were no signs of forced entry at

Jenise’s home and no indication she was taken from her room.

Hundreds of people, including officers from 15 law enforcement agencies, searched for Jenise and went door to door at the mobile home park on the west side of Puget Sound, across from Seattle. They also pulled surveillance video from nearby businesses and checked in with sex offenders in the county.

Gaza’s wounded a reminder of ravages of war

Around the World Iraqi prime minister al-Maliki to file legal complaint against new president

By HAMZA HENDAWI Associated Press

BAGHDAD — Iraq’s embattled Prime Minister Nouri alMaliki, in a surprise speech late Sunday, resisted calls for his resignation and accused the country’s new president of violating the constitution, plunging the government into a political crisis at a time it is battling advances by Islamic State militants.

Al-Maliki is seeking a third-term as prime minister, but the latest crisis has prompted even his closest allies to call for his resignation. A parliament session scheduled for Monday to discuss the election and who might lead the next Iraqi government was postponed until Aug. 19.

On Sunday, in a nationally televised speech, al-Maliki declared he will file a legal complaint against the new president, Fouad Massoum, for committing “a clear constitutional violation.”

Al-Maliki, whose Shiite-dominated bloc won the most seats in April elections, accused Massoum of neglecting to name a prime minister from the country’s largest parliamentary faction

by Sunday’s deadline. He said the president has violated the constitution “for the sake of political goals.”

Al-Maliki said the security situation will only worsen as a result of Massoum’s actions.

GAZA CITY, Gaza Strip — When an Israeli airstrike hit the Gaza home for the handicapped where she was staying, Sally Saqr was left shattered.

Her pelvis, both legs and an arm were broken, her skull fractured, much of her body burned. In the hospital, doctors couldn’t put her limbs in casts because multiple other wounds had to heal first.

But after a week, her mother had to take the 20 year old home because Gaza’s main Shifa Hospital needed the bed as more broken bodies flowed in every day from the bombardment.

Saqr has been severely handicapped since birth because of complications during delivery. She can’t speak, her body never developed beyond the size of a child. She was able to walk — with difficulty — but after her wounds in the July 12 airstrike, she couldn’t walk at all, and had to be put in diapers because she couldn’t reach the bathroom.

Her mother has been overwhelmed. Saqr is in excruciating pain and screams in her sleep.

“My burden is heavy,” said her 36-year-old mother, Soumah Abu Shanab. “Now I must feed her, bathe her and change her diapers.” She spoke as three visiting nurses changed Saqr’s dressings. Saqr clutched a box of medicine. Just holding it distracts her from the pain.

Much of the world’s attention has focused on the Palestinian death toll in the Gaza war, with more than 1,900 killed, including at least 450 children, Palestinian health officials say. But a longer-term trauma may be the large number of wounded — more than 9,800, mostly civilians, including at least 3,000 children, officials say.

The dead have been quickly and often unceremoniously buried even as fighting raged.

The wounded are a living reminder of the ravages of war.

Their numbers have overwhelmed Gaza’s medical system, already dilapidated after seven years of blockade on the tiny territory by Israel and Egypt, as well as the diversion of resources to build up Hamas’ military capabilities.

LA woman punched on video by California Highway patrolman thought she would die LOS ANGELES — Marlene Pinnock said she thought she was going to die as a California Highway Patrol officer straddled her, repeatedly punching her head, on the side of a Los Angeles freeway.

Her attorney Caree Harper frequently interrupted her and limited her responses to a reporter’s questions.

“He grabbed me, he threw me down, he started beating me, he beat me. I felt like he was trying to kill me, beat me to death,” Pinnock said. Pinnock, 51, was released from the hospital last week after several weeks of treatment for head injuries and now slurs her speech, Harper said.

Pinnock is suing CHP Commissioner Joe Farrow and Officer Daniel L. Andrew in federal court for civil rights violations.

The suit claims excessive force, assault, battery and a violation of Pinnock’s due process rights. The CHP hasn’t identified the officer but said he had been on the job for 1 1/2 years and is on desk duty pending completion of the internal investigation.

Killing of unarmed Missouri black man by police draws criticism from civil rights leaders FERGUSON, Mo. — An 18-year-old black man shot multiple times by a suburban St. Louis police officer was unarmed when he died, police said Sunday, as hundreds of local residents protested and a civil rights leader expressed outrage at the killing.

Michael Brown had graduated from high school and was about to enter college, said his mother, Lesley McSpadden.

St. Louis County Police Chief Jon Belmar said the shooting occurred after an officer encountered two people — one of whom was Brown — on the street near an apartment complex Saturday afternoon in Ferguson, a predominantly black suburb a few miles north of downtown St. Louis.

Belmar said one of the men pushed the officer back into his squad car and a struggle began. Belmar said at least one shot was fired from the officer’s gun inside the police car. Ferguson Police Chief Tom Jackson said authorities were still sorting out what happened inside the police car. It was not clear if Brown was the man who struggled with the officer.

‘Before the war began, I was enjoying my summer holiday. I went to the park, played football and went to the beach.

Now I cannot do any of that.’

— Abdul-Qader Sahweel, 10-year-old injured by artillery shell blast a total of 2,047 beds, or 1.3 beds per 1,000 people, among the lowest ratios in the world, according to United Nations figures. Nearly a third of the hospitals have been damaged in the fighting, according to UNRWA, the U.N. agency that looks after Palestinian refugees.

The thousands discharged — many with severe wounds patched together temporarily — are then left to the care of already devastated families who are grieving for dead loved ones and struggling to get by in the devastation of the war.

Some of the wounded return not to home but to U.N.run schools packed with displaced people. Some crowd into the houses of extended families along with other relatives with nowhere else to go.

Most homes are without electricity or running water.

Around 250,000 of Gaza’s 1.8 million residents have been displaced, while some 65,000 lost their home in the fighting, according to U.N. figures.

In the crowded households, the wounded become a center of attention as relatives try to provide small comforts. Most are immobile, or can move very little. Families often put the wounded’s mattress or bed by a window to get air in stifling rooms amid the power outages.

Though nurses can sometimes visit homes, many wounded have to make daily trips back to the hospital for treatment, risking complications from the exertions of the trip and the summer heat.

“Some of them don’t have the basic needs of life at home,” Dr. Sobhi Skaek, head of surgery at Shifa Hospital, told The Associated Press.

“We have a serious problem.”

Neighbors have lent a helping hand, but it is a drop in the ocean. Egypt took 220

wounded from Gaza, the West Bank 29, Jordan 43, and Israel arranged for 87 to be admitted to hospitals in east Jerusalem.

The large number of wounded speaks to the ferocity of Israeli shelling — nearly 5,000 strikes since the war began on July 8, according to the Israeli military.

Israel says its campaign aims to stop rocket fire into Israel by Gaza militants and that it targets sites of rocket launchers and militants’ command and control, which were tightly interwoven with the population. Israel says it does its utmost to avoid hitting civilians, warning them to leave areas about to be attacked.

But repeatedly during the war, entire families have been devastated by strikes, killing multiple members at once and leaving others torn by shrapnel, burned or crushed in rubble.

This week in Shifa Hospital, 10-year-old Abdul-Qader Sahweel grimaced in pain and clenched back tears as medics changed the dressings on his wounds. He has to be brought back and forth to the hospital every day for the treatment.

The boy was sleeping with his family in a classroom in a U.N.-run school when three Israel artillery shells hit the building on July 30. His eldest brother died instantly — decapitated in the blast, his mother says. Another brother is in a coma in an Israeli hospital. His mother, Yasmeen, and 4-year-old brother were lightly wounded.

Abdul-Qader was sprayed by shrapnel in his chest, right eye and leg.

The daily trips to the hospital — plus visits every three days to an eye clinic — cost about $10 each, a considerable expense, said his father, Mohammed Sahweel, who is

unemployed like around 50 percent of Gaza’s population.

After the hospital’s visit Wednesday, the boy and his father returned to the home of relatives where his family is now staying. Exhausted and uncomfortable, Abdul-Qader said he has recurring headaches, a high temperature and can’t sleep. His right eye was red and swollen.

His family is worried about long term damage — his vision in the eye is severely impaired.

“Before the war began, I was enjoying my summer holiday. I went to the park, played football and went to the beach,” the boy said. “Now I cannot do any of that.”

Fahd Abu Sultan, a 25-yearold laborer, paid dearly for an act of courage on July 16. He rushed to help when an Israeli navy boat shelled a group of boys playing soccer on a Gaza beach, killing one and wounding others. As Sultan tried to carry away the wounded, the shelling resumed, killing three others.

Abu Sultan has five gaping shrapnel wounds. He lay on a sofa in his home while male nurses changed the dressing, causing him so much pain he had to pause as he described how the rocket hit only meters (yards) away from him.

“I kept on screaming to the ambulance people to come to rescue me but no one heard me,” he recalled. “I was the last one to be taken to hospital.”

Bahaa Eilewah, 16, was trying to help the injured in the Gaza district of Shijayiah on July 30 when he himself was hit by shrapnel. Both his legs were broken and are now in casts. He may not be able to walk unaided again for a year.

He thinks about how he used to play table tennis at a mosque recreation center.

“Now I don’t know when I will do that again.”

Ukraine demands that rebels in Donetsk surrender

DONETSK, Ukraine — Fighting raged in the city of Donetsk on Sunday, as government forces continued to close in on the rebel stronghold and pro-Russian insurgents backed away from an unconditional cease-fire offer that they announced just the day before.

With a string of military successes and broad support for its campaign from the West and most of its domestic base, Kiev has taken a hard line against the rebel forces and promised it will only relent when the separatists surrender. Donetsk remained a ghost town on Sunday, with few civilians daring to venture outside as explosions rang out every few minutes and burntout buses and buildings smoldered from the night before.

In a statement Saturday, newly elected rebel leader Aleksandr Zakharchenko appeared to call for a cease-fire without stating any preconditions. But on Sunday, rebel spokeswoman Elena Nikitina repeated the rebels’ earlier stance, telling the Associated Press that talks on the conflict could only begin if the Ukrainian army withdrew from the region — something Kiev is unlikely to do.

She also denounced the government as “incapable of negotiating.”

Ukraine’s National Security and Defense Council spokesman Andriy Lysenko said that the only way for the rebels in Donetsk to save their lives would be to “lay down their arms and give up.” He said the Ukrainian side hadn’t seen the rebels show any real willingness to cooperate.

“If white flags come up and they lay down their arms, nobody is going to shoot at them,” he said. “(But) we have not seen any practical steps yet, just a statement.”

Lysenko added that the Ukrainian military’s recent successes in encircling Donetsk had bred “panic and chaos in the ranks of the rebels,” and said the Kiev government had information about rebels “deserting their posts en masse.”

Conditions were clearly deteriorating in Donetsk, the largest rebel stronghold in eastern Ukraine. Associated Press reporters heard 25 loud explosions in as many minutes around noon. According to city council spokesman Maxim Rovinsky, at least one person was killed and 10 injured in shelling overnight, as more than 10 residential buildings, a hospital and a shop were heavily damaged in the fighting.

Rovinsky said that he believed 100,000 people had left the city of one million in the past week alone — adding to the 300,000 who were already estimated to have fled.

He said at least 10,000 people were without electricity, and that the local government was working hard to preserve access to gas, electricity, and phone service and “avoid a humanitarian crisis.” More than 1,300 people have died in the conflict since April, according to a U.N. estimate.

“This is a real war! It’s impossible to live in this city, I’ve been sleeping in the basement for the past week,” said Inna Drobyshevskaya, a 48-yearold lawyer in Donetsk.

“We don’t want Novorossiya (New Russia) for this price,” she added, referring to a term used by rebels to describe the parts of eastern Ukraine seeking independence from the government in Kiev.

Rebel leader Zakharchenko’s apparent call for a ceasefire Saturday was met with support from Russia, where Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov was quoted by news agency ITAR TASS as saying a truce was “not only possible, but necessary.”

“We believe the question is urgent and there can be no delay, and the issue is under the control of the Russian president,” he said. Lavrov said that Russia was reaching out to the Red Cross and the U.N. to discuss the possibility of delivering humanitarian aid to the region.

However, the rebels’ request was met warily by gov-

ernment officials in Kiev and in the West. Those leaders expressed concern that the move could be aimed at increasing international pressure on Ukraine to allow in a Russian aid mission. The West says that could be used as a pretext to bring Russian soldiers into Ukraine — and says 20,000 of them are massed near the Russian border with Ukraine.

Ukrainian President Petro Poroshenko and Western leaders have repeatedly accused Russia of providing arms and expertise to the rebels, something Russia denies.

He issued a statement late Saturday saying that Ukraine was prepared to accept humanitarian assistance in east-

— Andriy Lysenko, Ukraine National Security and Defense Council spokesperson ern Ukraine. But he said the aid must come in without military assistance, pass through border checkpoints under Ukrainian control and be an international mission.

Poroshenko said he and German Chancellor Angela Merkel discussed German participation in such a mission.

On Sunday, German Foreign Minister Frank-Walter Steinmer expressed “great concern” that the humanitarian situation for civilians in Donetsk and Luhansk is getting worse. He said Germany is already working with the ICRC and U.N. agencies to ensure that existing aid is co-

ordinated and gets delivered where it is needed.

He said was “good that there seems to be basic agreement about the delivery of humanitarian goods between Ukraine and Russia,” but said that Russian aid “must only be delivered with the express agreement of the Ukrainian government” and under the supervision of international organizations.

In Washington, the White House said President Barack Obama and Merkel agreed that any Russian intervention in Ukraine was unacceptable and would violate international law. Obama and British Prime Minister David Cameron, meanwhile, “expressed

grave concern about reports that Russian military vehicles have crossed the border into Ukraine and that Russian armed forces are exercising for a ‘humanitarian intervention,’” according to Cameron’s office.

Russian-speaking eastern Ukraine was the power base for former President Viktor Yanukovych, who fled office in February after months of anti-government protests kicked off by his decision to scuttle an association agreement with the EU in favor of closer ties with Moscow.

Fighting in the east began in April, one month after Russia annexed Ukraine’s Black Sea region of Crimea.

said indirect talks with the Israelis would begin Monday “with the hope of reaching a lasting cease-fire.” The goal, he added, was to end the blockade, which he called “the reason for the war.”

The recent fighting has been the heaviest between Israel and Hamas since Hamas took control of Gaza in 2007. More than 1,900 Palestinians have been killed, including hundreds of civilians. On the Israeli side, 67 people have been killed, including three civilians. Nearly 10,000 people have been wounded and thousands of homes destroyed.

The fighting ended in a threeday cease-fire last Tuesday.

Egypt had hoped to use that truce to mediate a long-term deal. But when it expired, militants resumed their rocket fire, sparking Israeli reprisals. The violence continued throughout the weekend, including a burst of fighting late Sunday ahead of the expected cease-fire.

The Israeli military reported some 30 rocket attacks from Gaza on Sunday. Palestinian medical officials said seven people were killed in Israeli airstrikes, including the bodyguard of a Hamas leader, the

The 49th State Brewing Company out of Healy won best beer for their -12 degree Quadruple, a dark Belgian ale with 10.5 percent alcohol laced undertones of banana and caramel. Lisa McCarthy, who works for the brewery, said the beer is a favorite because it is easy to drink.

Along with Kenai River Brewing Co., all five Kenai Peninsula breweries were on hand including Homer Brewing Company, Seward Brewing Company, Kassiks Brewery from Nikiski and Saint Elias Brewery in Soldotna.

Justin Miller, of Anchorage, said he enjoyed the Hoppin’ Salmon Wheat from Kenai River Brewing Co. but could not choose a favorite from all the great beer featured. Miller, who was grooving to the music medical officials said.

Israel had walked away from cease-fire talks over the weekend. “Israel will not negotiate under fire,” Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said earlier Sunday, warning that his country’s military campaign “will take time.”

Last week’s talks failed in part because Israel rejected Hamas’ demand for a complete end to the blockade. Israel says the closure is necessary to prevent arms smuggling, and officials do not want to make any concessions that would allow Hamas to declare victory.

A senior Palestinian negotiator acknowledged that the Palestinians would make more modest demands this time around. He said they will seek an end to the bloodshed in Gaza and an easing — but not an end — to the blockade.

“We might not get everything we want, particularly on freedom of movement. But we believe the Israelis and the world have gotten the point that Gazans should live normally and things should be much better than today,” the negotiator said, speaking on condition of anonymity because he was discussing internal Palestinian deliberations.

Israel says Hamas must disarm. Hamas has said handing over its arsenal, which is believed to include several thou-

“Everyone is here to have a good time and enjoy some great beer,” Miller said.

Shannon Grant, of Kenai, said the Blackberry Porter from Saint Elias Brewing intrigued her. After taking her first sip, she smiled and said the drink had a smooth aftertaste.

Pyhala said the weather cooperated and the clouds parted for the sun to shine down on

the festival. He said the planning for next year’s festival has already started with the goal to have every brewery in the state represented. “(The festival) is always on my mind,” he said. “All the brewers I talked to are appreciative and had a blast. We are closing in on all the breweries in the state. Sharing great Alaskan made beer is what makes this festival great.”

sand remaining rockets, is out of the question.

The blockade has greatly limited the movement of Palestinians in and out of the impoverished territory of 1.8 million people for jobs and schooling.

It has also limited the flow of goods into Gaza and blocked virtually all exports.

An Egyptian crackdown on smuggling tunnels along Gaza’s southern border has made things even tougher by robbing Hamas of its key economic pipeline and weapons conduit. Gaza’s unemployment rate surpasses 50 percent, and Hamas is unable to pay the salaries of tens of thousands of workers.

An easing of the blockade could mean an increased role for Western-backed Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas, whose forces were ousted

by Hamas seven years ago.

Officials said the rival Palestinian factions were already exploring options that would give Abbas, who now governs in the West Bank, a foothold in Gaza, including the likely control of its border crossing with Egypt.

At a minimum, Israel will want guarantees that the rocket fire will stop. A 2012 ceasefire promised an easing of the blockade but was never implemented — in part because of sporadic rocket attacks by vari-

ous armed factions in Gaza.

Israeli Justice Minister Tzipi Livni said Hamas could get the blockade lifted by accepting longstanding international demands to renounce violence and recognize Israel’s right to exist.

“They want to get legitimacy as a terrorist organization without accepting the requirements of the international community,” she told a news conference.

In the West Bank, Palestinian health officials said an 11-year-old boy was shot and killed Sunday by Israeli forces in a refugee camp near the city of Hebron.

Witnesses and relatives of the boy said Israeli security forces opened fire at Palestinian stone-throwers. They said the boy was standing on the road in front of his home at the time.

The military said its forces encountered a “violent riot” and opened fire. It acknowledged that the boy was killed in the violence and said it was investigating.

The current Gaza war escalated from the abduction and killing of three Israeli teens in the West Bank in June. Israel blamed the killings on Hamas and launched a massive arrest campaign, rounding up hundreds of its members in the West Bank. Hamas and other militants unleashed rocket fire from Gaza.

Navarre said with the fall and winter seasons approaching, the project costs could be impacted if the borough were to move forward at this point.

Renovations for the occupied portion of the building, which includes re-roofing and re-siding, will also be put off until spring of 2015.

Navarre said anyone who has an interest in the space can contact the borough.

“If it makes sense, we’ll consider it,” he said.

According to a market analysis referenced in the Nikiski Elementary Facility Management Plan Addendum, the building has a rental value of a 7,500-square-foot area at $0.63 per square foot.

The project went out to bid last month for the demolition of the north wing and renovation of the utilized section of the building. At a July assembly meeting, the body accepted and appropriated a $500,000 state grant for project. Following public comment opposing the demolition at the meeting, Navarre said the administration would re-evaluate its recommendation.

Arness is optimistic that the state or federal government could provide some funding.

He said the district has discussed increasing its involvement in hands-on training for high school students and recent graduates and thinks the industry is interested in seeing more wide-spread training opportunities for potential employees.

With the Nikiski Community Recreation Center occupying the south portion of the building, Arness said if the north wing can be utilized, it would have to be worked out with the center.

While potential industry growth could lead to the district needing another school in the Nikiski area, Arness said he doesn’t think it would be feasible to revert the building back into an elementary school.

Navarre said the project will likely go out to bid in February or March if the borough doesn’t receive a sensible proposal for the space before then.

McIlroy captures PGA Championship DOUG FERGUSON AP Golf Writer

LOUISVILLE, Ky. — The challenge finally arrived for Rory McIlroy, and he was better than ever Sunday to win the PGA Championship.

On a back nine filled with clutch shots and as much tension as a major can provide, McIlroy emerged from a four-man race to outlast Phil Mickelson and the darkness at Valhalla to

capture his second straight major.

McIlroy closed with a 3-under 68 and became only the fourth player in the last century of golf to win four majors at 25 or younger. The others were Tiger Woods, Jack Nicklaus and Bobby Jones, three of the game’s greatest players.

Boy Wonder appears on his way to belonging in that group.

CANANDAIGUA, N.Y. — The collision was as common as any in racing. Kevin Ward Jr.’s car spun twice like a top, wheels hugging the wall, before it plopped backward on the dimly lit dirt track.

In a sport steeped with bravado, what happened next was another familiar, but treacherous, move: Wearing a black firesuit and black helmet, the 20-yearold Ward unbuckled himself, climbed out of the winged car into the night and defiantly walked onto the track at Canandaigua Motorsports Park.

He gestured, making his disgust evident with the driver who triggered the wreck with a bump: three-time NASCAR champion Tony Stewart.

Ward, a relative unknown compared to NASCAR’s noted swashbuckler, was nearly hit by another passing car as he pointed with his right arm in Stewart’s direction. As he confronted Stewart in his passing car, disaster struck.

Ward was standing to the right of Stewart’s familiar No. 14 car, which seemed to fishtail from the rear and hit him.

According to video and witness accounts, Ward’s body was sucked underneath the car and hurtled through the air before landing on his back as fans looked on in horror.

Ward was killed. Stewart, considered one of the most proficient drivers in racing, dropped out of Sunday’s NASCAR race at Watkins Glen, hours after Saturday’s crash.

And the sport was left reeling from a tragedy that could have

ripple effects from the biggest stock car series down to weeknight dirt track racing.

“There aren’t words to describe the sadness I feel about the accident that took the life of Kevin Ward Jr.,” Stewart said in a statement.

Authorities questioned the 43-year-old Stewart once on Saturday night and went to Watkins Glen to talk to him again Sunday. They described him as “visibly shaken” after the crash and said he was cooperative.

On Sunday, Ontario County Sheriff Philip Povero said that investigators also don’t have any evidence at this point in the investigation to support criminal intent. But he also said that criminal charges have not been ruled out.

The crash raised several questions: Will Ward’s death cause drivers to think twice about on-track confrontations?

Did Stewart try and send his own message by buzzing Ward, the young driver, only to have his risky move turn fatal? Or did Ward simply take his life into his own hands by stepping into traffic in a black firesutsuit on a dark track?

The only one who may have that answer is Stewart.

David S. Weinsten, a former state and federal prosecutor in Miami who is now in private practice, said it would be difficult to prove criminal intent.

“I think even with the video, it’s going to be tough to prove that this was more than just an accident and that it was even culpable negligence, which he should’ve known or should’ve believed that by getting close to this guy, that it was going to cause the accident,” he said.

Allmendinger wins at Glen JOHN KEKIS AP Sports Writer

WATKINS GLEN, N.Y. — AJ Allmendinger’s journey is almost complete.

With a new contract, sponsor extensions and a solid one-car team at JTG Daugherty Racing, Allmendinger became a winner in Sprint Cup for the first time on a somber Sunday, outdueling Marcos Ambrose in the final two laps at Watkins Glen International.

“I dreamed about this moment and I’m not going to forget it,” said Allmendinger, making his 213th Cup start. “It’s just a dream come true.”

The day began on a solemn note when three-time Cup champion Tony Stewart pulled out of the race 12 hours after he struck and killed 20-year-old sprint car driver Kevin Ward Jr. in a race after Ward climbed from his car on a small dirt track in nearby Canandaigua.

Allmendinger offered his condolences to the Ward family after he won, saying, “We’re a community here, we’re thinking about you.”

“It’s a tough time for everybody,” Allmendinger said.

“This NASCAR community, as a whole, we’re a family. When anything like that happens, it’s

something that you don’t get time to erase and forget about.

Our thoughts and prayers go to the Ward family and what happened.

“And it also goes to Tony. It’s not like he’s sitting there and forgetting about it.”

Regan Smith drove Stewart’s car and finished 37th after having to start from the back of the 43car field and getting caught in a late accident.

Allmendinger’s life changed two years ago in the hours before the July race at Daytona International Speedway. NASCAR officials had just kicked him out of the track, suspending Allmendinger indefinitely for failing a random drug test.

The failed drug test sidelined him for more than three months and cost him his job with Penske Racing. It also spurred much soul searching, and after a handful of one-off Cup rides he eventually landed a full-time Cup ride last August with JTG Daugherty Racing.

To break through the way Allmendinger did only added to the lore of this race, which has been decided four straight times by fender-banging dashes to the checkered flag. Ambrose won two of those and Kyle Busch the other.

said McIlroy, only the seventh player to win the last two majors of the year.

“I played the best golf of my life. I really gutted it out today.”

But one of the greatest shows on soggy turf came with a most peculiar ending.

Three shots behind going to the back nine, McIlroy rallied to take the lead and then hit a 9-iron from the fairway bunker to 10 feet for birdie on the 17th hole for a two-shot lead going to

the par-5 18th. Because of a two-hour rain delay earlier, darkness was falling quickly and it wasn’t certain McIlroy would be able to finish.

McIlroy was allowed to hit his tee shot before Mickelson and Rickie Fowler had reached their drives. Both were only two shots behind, still in the game. McIlroy came within a yard of hitting in a hazard right of the fairway.

Then, the PGA of America allowed

McIlroy to hit his second shot. Mickelson and Fowler had to stand to the side of the green.

“We were cool with hitting the tee shot,” Fowler said. “We weren’t expecting the approach shots.”

Fowler had a 50-foot eagle attempt to tie for the lead. He was well off the mark, and missed the short birdie putt attempt that cost him his third straight runner-up finish in a major. Mickelson See GOLF, Page B-2

. . . Golf Continued from page B-1

was short of the green, and his chip came within inches of dropping for an eagle that would have tied him for the lead.

Mickelson appeared upset that they had to wait to finish the hole — not standard procedure in a PGA Tour event — and he made two references in a TV interview that this is the only championship the PGA of America runs all year.

“It didn’t affect the outcome of the championship at all, I don’t think,” Mickelson said.

“It’s not what we normally do.

It’s not a big deal either way.”

Mickelson closed with a 66 and was runner-up for the ninth time in a major.

Fowler became the first player in history to finish in the top five at all four majors without winning one. He closed with a 68 and tied for third with Henrik Stenson, who fell out of a share of the lead by missing a 3-foot par putt on the 14th hole.

Stenson shot a 66.

McIlroy hit his second shot into a bunker, and he had to twoputt from 35 feet for the win.

He lagged the first one to tapin range, and the major was his.

McIlroy repeatedly pumped his fist before letting out a scream above the gallery that had been treated to one of the best shows ever in a major.

He won his first two majors by eight shots at the 2011 U.S. Open and 2012 PGA Championship. Only a month ago, McIlroy took a six-shot lead into the final round of the British Open and completed a wireto-wire win with only a brief scare.

This was his first big test, and it took some of his best golf to come through.

“I think I showed a lot of guts out there to get the job done,” he said.

The winning shot turned out to be that 9-iron from the bunker and the birdie putt on the 17th hole that gave him a twoshot lead, the largest margin for anyone on a day when as many as five players claimed a share of the lead.

Sports Briefs Lochte wins 200 IM at nationals IRVINE, Calif. — Ryan Lochte and Michael Phelps, a couple of Olympic champions on the comeback trail, got a step closer to finding their form.

Lochte beat Phelps to win the 200-meter individual medley at the U.S. national championships Sunday night, leaving Phelps winless in four races at his biggest meet since coming out of retirement.

They weren’t in their usual lanes in the center of the pool. Those spots go to the fastest qualifiers.

Lochte was in lane two and Phelps was in lane six. They couldn’t see each other either, with Phelps breathing toward the stands and Lochte the other way.

Still, the race came down to the two old rivals, with Phelps chasing Lochte for a change.

Lochte, the world champion, led all the way and touched in 1 minute, 56.50 seconds. He is coming off major knee surgery, and had a setback at a meet in April, all of which limited his time in the water.

“This year has been up and down, but I’m glad I got a win knowing that I really haven’t done the work I wanted to,” he said.

“I always relied on my training, but this year I haven’t done that training so my confidence was low.”

Phelps, the three-time Olympic champion in the event, was saying the same thing, although he pronounced himself pleased with his time.

“That’s a good spot to be,” he said after finishing second in 1:56.55. “I’m a lot happier with finishing like that than having some of the sub-par performances that I’ve had throughout the final sessions in this meet.”

Jays top Tigers in 19 innings

By The Associated Press

TORONTO — Jose Bautista’s single in the 19th inning drove home the winning run as the Toronto Blue Jays rallied from a five-run deficit to win the longest game in franchise history, beating the Detroit Tigers 6-5 on Sunday.

Munenori Kawasaki singled off starter Rick Porcello (13-7) to begin the 19th and advanced to third when second baseman Ian Kinsler couldn’t field an errant throw from Porcello on Jose Reyes’ sacrifice bunt.

Melky Cabrera was intentionally walked to load the bases for Bautista, who ended it with a single to right over the drawn-in outfield, sending his teammates streaming out of the dugout in celebration.

DODGERS 5, BREWERS 1 MILWAUKEE — Clayton Kershaw won his 14th game to tie for the National League lead, and the Dodgers beat the Brewers to avoid a three-game sweep in a matchup of divisional leaders.

B-8 Peninsula Clarion, Monday, August 11, 2014

Attentive parents can prevent kids being left alone in cars with you. I always carried on a conversation, sang or counted to my kids, even newborns, and continued through the years they were rear-facing and forward-facing. It helped them to learn their ABCs, count, and even know where streets were. It was also a running reminder that someone very special Abigail Van Buren was with me. I never listened to the radio, unless it was nursery rhymes on DVD or toddler songs. It not only helped me teach my children, but it also made driving fun and safe for the tiny passengers in my car.

— D.W.K. READERS: A nonprofit group called KidsAndCars suggests that parents “place

something they will need (when exiting the vehicle), such as a cellphone, handbag or briefcase, near the child in the back seat. Or keep a large stuffed animal in the child’s car seat when it’s not occupied. When the child is in the car seat, place the stuffed animal in the front passenger seat as a reminder that the child is in the back. “And tell the child’s day care center or baby sitter that they will always be called if your child isn’t coming in as scheduled. If the child is absent without an explanation, the day care center or baby sitter is expected to contact a parent or another designated caregiver.” I would not recommend an automatic device because it could fail.

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.

Hints from Heloise

Jacqueline Bigar’s Stars A baby born today has a Sun in Leo and a Moon in Aquarius if born before 8:55 a.m. (PDT). Afterward, the Moon will be in Pisces.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY for Monday, Aug. 11, 2014: This year you enter the first year of a new life cycle.

The first year is considered to be very fortunate. If you are single, you will discover that love is waiting for you just around the corner.

Until you find it, you will be busy dating, as your appeal is high. If you are attached, you will be very affectionate with your sweetie. It is quite possible that you will decide to commit to each other on a deeper level, depending on your stage of life. PISCES is even more romantic and imaginative than you are.

The Stars Show the Kind of Day You’ll Have: 5-Dynamic; 4-Positive; 3-Average; 2-So-so; 1-Difficult ARIES (March 21-April 19) HHH An exchange of feelings could determine the day’s mood. You could opt to be more laid-back than others might have expected.

Expect some reactions! Use your intuition when internalizing an issue brought up by an important person. Tonight: Soothe away any irritation.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) HHHHYou could find that you are in a difficult position with someone whom you feel you need to answer to. At the moment, you’ll see different concerns coming together in a way that you feel is very pleasing. Stay focused on your long-term goals. Tonight: Hang with a pal or two.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20)

Rubes

HHHHH You have a way of making light of situations that others would consider to be very serious.

You might not understand that some people find that type of behavior offensive. Be a little kinder in the way you communicate. Tonight: Out and about.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) HHHHHYou could be deeply offended by a conversation you have with someone you encounter today. Try to accept this person as he or she is, and then move on.

Allow more creativity to emerge.

Tonight: Be more upbeat by looking at the big picture.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) HHHH It would be best not to hold back anymore. You will need some time to process your feelings, especially in a situation that could be quite unexpected. A roommate or family member might challenge you in order to start a conversation. Tonight: Opt for togetherness.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) HHHH You will be particularly efficient today. Don’t be surprised if social interactions prove to be the highlight of your day, rather than your work. Use your instincts when it comes to dealing with a touchy yet upbeat person. Tonight: Make this a “people” day.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) HHHHH You might want to see beyond the obvious, but you could have an issue getting past an immediate problem. Hang in there, and you will find the right solution to clear up the issue. Be careful with spending, as you easily could go overboard. Tonight: Pace yourself.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21)

By Leigh Rubin

Ziggy

HHHH You could be weighing the pros and cons of several situations. You might not know what would be the best way to handle a personal matter. Your ingenuity will provide you with several very interesting options. Let someone know when enough is enough. Tonight: Very playful.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) HHHH Weigh the pros and cons of spending more time at home.

Keep in mind that your imagination is likely to take off in that setting. Try not to suppress your anger so much, as it could cause you a problem later on down the road. Tonight: Consider a home office.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) HHHHHYou might want to reach out to someone who keeps popping into your mind. Circumstances could have pushed the two of you apart. Once you reconnect, you will recognize how much you have missed this person. Tonight: Surround yourself with music.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) HHH Know the costs of continuing as you have been. You could be overspending and not looking at the damages. Ask yourself what is motivating this indulgence. Someone you care about could be very difficult today. Don’t internalize what he or she says. Tonight: Your treat.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) HHHH Your imagination knows no bounds. The issue for you will be using that gift well. You might see a new path in a conversation with an expert or someone you consider to be wise. Jump on the opportunity after a lengthy discussion.

Tonight: Let your creativity out.

Bothersome Backpacks Dear Readers: Here is this week’s Sound Off, about large backpacks: “Backpacks are wonderful inventions for hikers and students. But people who use them can be quite thoughtless. I don’t sit on aisle seats of airplanes anymore because people have hit me with their backpacks. On a bench, one man sat behind me wearing his backpack, and knocked me to the deck. I wish people would be more courteous.”

— N.V. in Texas I agree! I have been bumped and even bruised one time while passengers were “loading” onto the plane. I carry a large, heavy tote, but I put it in front of me when boarding.

— Heloise

Runaway tablecloth Dear Heloise: You don’t know how many times I have had to chase a runaway tablecloth at a picnic. I came up with an inexpensive solution: I cut a small hole in each corner of the tablecloth and zip-tie it to the table legs. The tablecloth doesn’t blow away, and I just cut the ties when I am done. Cable ties are very cheap, so it isn’t a big deal to throw them away each time.

— A Reader in Texas Love those cable ties! I buy them by the bundle.

Fast Facts Dear Readers: Here is how Frances H. in Kane, Pa., uses the rubber bands that come around green onions: * Around a package of meat in the freezer to know which one to use first. * To hold a cookbook page open. * Around opened frozen bags of veggies. * Around a checkbook so the pages don’t flap.

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

DEAR ABBY: It disturbs me greatly that we keep reading about parents leaving their children in cars, whether it be absentmindedness, stress or downright intentional. It needs to stop. I’m hoping car manufacturers can come up with an idea — maybe a sensor that once the doors are closed and locked, should there be motion or a sound in the vehicle, the windows would automatically open, giving a passer-by a chance to see inside and maybe save a precious life.

— FRUSTRATED BY “PREMATURE” ANGELS DEAR FRUSTRATED: You are not the only one who is disturbed by these recent tragedies.

They are on the minds of a lot of people lately.

Today’s mail brought a suggestion from another reader who is hoping to put an end to the loss of these fragile young lives. A mother in Westland, Michigan, offered this: DEAR ABBY: I have a suggestion for parents.

Talk to your children when they are in the car
