In the news Mat-Su man dies after being thrown from packraft

COPPER CENTER (AP) — The body of a man has been recovered after a rafting accident in Wrangell-St. Elias National Park. National Park Service officials in a release identified the victim as Rob Kehrer. His body was recovered Sunday afternoon. Kehrer was thrown from his packraft on the Tana River inside the park and last seen by his rafting partner Saturday afternoon. Officials were notified Sunday morning, and ground and aerial searches were conducted. An Alaska Air National Guard helicopter found the body about 2 1/2 miles downstream from where he was last seen.

Enstar employees picket in front of Enstar Natural Gas Company on the Kenai Spur Highway Monday in Soldotna. The 20 field workers and supporters from the Plumbers and Pipefitters Union Local 367 are part of a regional strike over failed negotiations for pension and health benefits.

Enstar employees strike By ELWOOD BREHMER Morris News Service-Alaska Alaska Journal of Commerce

Enstar Natural Gas Co.’s Alaska operations employees went on strike Monday morning. The striking workers are at Enstar’s Anchorage, Kenai Peninsula and Matanuska-Susitna area branches, according to a release from the United Association of Plumbers and Steamfitters Union Lo-

cal 367 that represents the Enstar employees. The union and the natural gas utility have not been able to settle differences over retirement benefits, and Enstar has not negotiated fairly, the union claims. “Enstar has refused to provide information to the union, it has intimidated witnesses for reporting Enstar misconduct, it has lied about the funding level of the pension plan, it has denied leave cash in requests of union employees, and

it has threatened employees with the loss of health benefits,” UA 367 alleges in an official statement. The union says it has filed four unfair labor practice complaints regarding Enstar’s conduct and it expects to file more. About 150 employees are involved in the strike, union counsel Chuck Dunnagan said. The union represents both Enstar’s clerical and operations workers. Enstar spokesman John Sims said he See STRIKE, page A-6

Crews are working to stop the Kenai River from threatening the integrity of the Sterling Highway at Mile 57 west of Cooper Landing. Department of Transportation & Public Affairs spokesperson Jill Reese said Tutka LLC, which has locations in Wasilla and Anchorage, began work to lay riprap — rocks — along the Kenai River bank last week. The Kenai River along the highway has been changing its course lately, which has been causing roadside erosion, Reese said. The riprap should keep the erosion from worsening. “(Crews will) always be checking on it to make sure that it’s working and it’s not getting any worse, but it should pretty well cap it,” Reese said. According to the National Weather Service, the Kenai River at Cooper Landing was observed at 11.9 feet at 3 p.m. on Monday. Flood stage is 13 feet. Reese said while it’s easier to work when water levels are lower, the department decided to begin the project. “I think (department officials) just felt that it was imperative enough to get this See ROAD, page A-6

ATM burglarized Hoping for the future at Nikiski market Agency raising funds to construct new building By DAN BALMER Peninsula Clarion

Nikiski resident Felix Martinez received an early morning wake up call Sunday from Alaska State Troopers who notified him that his business, M&M Supermarket on the Kenai Spur Highway in Nikiski, had been burglarized. The break-in occurred before the store opened Sunday at about 6 a.m. Martinez said burglars broke into the store, tied chains around an Automatic Teller Machine and used a truck to drag it outside. The ATM machine was left mangled, evidence that the thieves attempted to pry it open, he said. Martinez said video surveillance shows after the alarm went off; the suspects panicked and took off. He said the truck was set on fire a mile down the road. Troopers spokesperson Me-

gan Peters said the truck was believed to be stolen but could not confirm where or who it belonged to. The case is under investigation and troopers are reviewing video footage of the break-in. No suspect or suspects have been identified, she said. It is unclear if any money was stolen from the ATM, but Martinez estimates the damage to his business to be about $15,000. He said a couple local residents helped board up the broken windows and the door had to be bent back in shape so the door could be closed up to set the alarm. Martinez, who was in Anchorage visiting family at the time, said he rarely ever leaves town. He said he believes the culprits planned the heist and wondered if word got out that he went out of town.

The Kenai Peninsula’s Hope Community Resources Inc. is within reach of breaking ground on a new building to facilitate its rapidly expanding clientele base and services. The new 4,500-square-foot community recreation center, which will be located next to the current Hope facility on Kalifornsky Beach Road, could be in operation as soon as next spring, said Hope Development Director Jennifer Harrington. However, the project needs funding for the construction costs, which will mostly likely have to come from the public, she said. Right now, in the midst of the summer months, Hope has been focusing on outdoor

activities, including yoga, the mats for which are piled high in the office of Kenai Peninsula Director of Community Support Holly Scott. Advocacy for the expansion began three years ago, Scott said. The number of clients served every year has increased by 11 percent, she said. Organizations and community members that work closely with Hope were asked to provide letters of support to assist in getting funding. “The growth rate has been pretty enormous,” Harrington said. “The Kenai Peninsula Hope serves 150 people right now.” That number is projected to grow by 34 percent over the next four years, Harrington said. Scott said beyond just their clients, Hope has many part-

nerships throughout the region, and puts on large community events annually. Part of the goal in developing strong relationships with other organizations is to bolster awareness within the community about the services and activities Hope provides to its clients. Hope clients have access to creative activities such as building massive papiermâché masks and theater set design to beading and pottery classes, Scott said. But she said, walking into the building and strolling from room to room, you can tell the current space is getting a little crowded. Hundreds of clients and community members attended the fifth annual Hope Prom in March at the Soldotna Regional Sports Complex. The See HOPE, page A-6

GOP candidates clash in debate By NICHOLAS RICCARDI and Becky Bohrer Associated Press

ANCHORAGE — Thousands of miles from the U.S-Mexico border, three Republicans vying for their party’s nomination for U.S. Senate in Alaska clashed on immigration Sunday night in a televised debate ahead of the Aug. 19 primary. Both former Alaska Attorney General Dan Sullivan and Lt. Gov Mead Treadwell refused to sign a pledge offered by tea party favorite Joe Miller to oppose all efforts at “amnesty” for people here illegally if elected to the U.S. Senate, with Treadwell chastising Miller for sending out a mailer on immigration featuring menacing Hispanic gang members. Miller, in turn, noted that several of Sullivan’s backers, like GOP strategist Karl Rove, favor allowing many of the 11 million immigrants in the country to eventually become citizens. “It’s because it’s the truth,” Miller said when challenged about the pictures on the flier. “This is real-world stuff.” Miller, an attorney who won the 2010 Republican Senate nomination but lost to Sen. Lisa Murkowski when she bested him in a general election write-in campaign, has been increasingly emphasizing immigration as he tries to break out of what most

observers believe is third place in the heated primary fight. He has been highlighting his support from Maricopa County, Arizona, Sheriff Joe Arpaio, a well-known immigration hardliner. Miller was also the only one of the three candidates who refused to commit to endorsing the winner of the Republican primary. That will continue to stoke speculation that he could run on a third-party ticket should he lose the primary, which could effectively hand the November election to incumbent Democrat Sen. Mark Begich. The candidates also clashed over the economic stimulus, gun rights and campaign spending. Sullivan has raised almost four times as much money as

Treadwell and has a super PAC backing him, enabling him to bombard the airwaves with advertising. Begich and his super PAC have also jumped into the fight, attacking Sullivan over his roughly seven-year absence from the state, when he was in Washington, D.C., working in the administration of President George W. Bush and serving with the military overseas. Republicans need to net six Senate seats to win control of the chamber in November. Sullivan stressed the need for the GOP to regain power in Washington, focusing, as befits his presumed front-runner status, on Begich rather than his primary foes. “Our country is fundamen-

tally going in the wrong direction,” said Sullivan, who is also a lieutenant colonel in the Marine Reserves. “The best way to change this is to beat Mark Begich and retire Harry Reid.” Treadwell stressed his 40 years in Alaska and said Sullivan didn’t have enough experience to win in November. “Dollars don’t vote here in Alaska, people do,” he said in a dig at Sullivan’s financial backers, “and I ask you to remember that we can’t be bought.” Sullivan chided Treadwell for sitting on the board of a company that sold equipment to the federal government for stimulus projects. Treadwell responded that there was nothing wrong with the business selling to the federal government and noted that the paint-supply company run by Sullivan’s family also received contracts under the stimulus. Miller, meanwhile, had a tone of bemusement, saying that Treadwell had adopted so many of his positions from his failed 2010 bid that he wondered if the lieutenant governor would show up with a beard, a reference to Miller’s facial hair. He noted he was the only non-millionaire in the race and boasted of building his own house in the Alaskan interior and feeding his family with the fish he caught in the state’s rich waters.

Comedy star Robin Williams dead at 63 SAN FRANCISCO (AP) — Robin Williams, a brilliant shapeshifter who could channel his frenetic energy into delightful comic characters like “Mrs. Doubtfire” or harness it into richly nuanced work like his Oscar-winning turn in “Good Will Hunting,” died Monday in an apparent suicide. He was 63. Williams was pronounced dead at his San Francisco Bay Area home Monday, according to the sheriff’s office in Marin County, north of San Francisco. The sheriff’s office said the preliminary investigation shows the cause of death to be a suicide due to asphyxia. The Marin County coroner’s office said Williams was last seen alive at home at about 10 p.m. Sunday. An emergency call from his house in Tiburon was placed to the Sheriff’s Department shortly before noon Monday. “This morning, I lost my husband and my best friend, while the world lost one of its most beloved artists and beautiful human beings. I am utterly heartbroken,” said Williams’ wife, Susan Schneider. “On behalf of Robin’s family, we are asking for privacy during our time of profound grief. As he is remembered, it is our hope the focus will not be on

Robin’s death, but on the countless moments of joy and laughter he gave to millions.” Williams had been battling severe depression recently, said Mara Buxbaum, his press representative. Just last month, he announced he was returning to a 12-step treatment program he said he needed after 18 months of nonstop work. He had sought treatment in 2006 after a relapse following 20 years of sobriety. In addition to his wife, Williams is survived by his three children: daughter Zelda, 25; and sons Zachary, 31, and Cody, 19.

‘It takes an army to defeat an army’

When liberal Dianne Feinstein (D-Calif.) and the conservative former Speaker of the House Newt Gingrich agree on something, attention should be paid. Feinstein, who chairs the Senate Intelligence Committee, said last Friday that the U.S. must confront the jihadists who call themselves the Islamic State in Iraq and Syria (ISIS or ISIL). “It takes an army to defeat an army,” she said, adding, “I believe that we either confront ISIL now or we will be forced to deal with an even stronger enemy in the future.” In an article first published on CNN. com, Gingrich noted there is now “an arc of terror from Boko Haram in Nigeria through Hamas in Gaza to ISIS in Iraq, Syria and Lebanon, there is a clear wave of vicious religious warfare being waged against civilization by fanatics who openly promise and engage in genocidal killing.” Gingrich added that since Americans were seized as hostages in Iran in 1979, “the United States has been at war with radical Islamists. They knew it. We hid from it.” Republican and Democratic administrations have been in denial about this threat to civilization. Presidents George W. Bush and Obama have tried to paint a picture that minimized Islamism. Just as early diagnosis and treatment enhances survival from a life-threatening disease, so does confronting terrorists on their

territory improve chances of avoiding more attacks on the West. U n f o r t u n a t e l y, President Obama continues to live in the land of wishful thinking. In an interview with Thomas Cal Thomas L. Friedman of The New York Times, the president said he would only increase America’s military presence in the region if Iraq’s different religious and ethnic communities agree to inclusive politics without regard to which side wins. This demonstrates a misunderstanding of the real threat. The Islamists, though calling themselves different names, share a common doctrine of destruction. They seek to impose their will through beheadings, kidnappings, forced conversions, crucifixions, forced marriages, rape and other horrors. They intend to go after Israel, Europe and ultimately the United States, where they claim to already have agents awaiting instructions to conduct suicide bombings. Speaking about the divisions in Iraq, the president made the leap to political divisions in the U.S., telling Friedman, “Our politics are dysfunctional.” He said the di-

Far too many of you have been subjected to cruel, humiliating and undeserved abuse, and it’s been happening longer than many of us knew. Your classmates call it hazing; we believe the word cruelty is more correct. We have the opportunity to unite against these practices in light of the May 31 police investigation into the abductions and paddlings of incoming freshmen by upperclassmen. To those on the receiving end of the paddle that night, know that many in your community are still working to ensure those actions are met with equal consequences. We must demand better of our young people, and it falls on the shoulders of us all to end these practices now. To parents of the abused, we understand why you chose silence over testifying. You fear for what might happen to your child next. You know as well as we do that high school can be a vicious arena where mob mentality rules the hallways. You were being asked to subject your child to further abuse so some other parent’s kid might get a free pass and attend school bully-free. That’s not an easy request to grant. No parent should have to make this decision alone. There is strength in numbers, as those bullying your kids know well. All parents of bullied, beaten and hazed students must band together, take action and demand change. Waiting for others to take action is how bullying is allowed to persist, fester and then evolve into something worse.

Classic Doonesbury, 1976

visions in the Middle East should be seen as “a warning to us: societies don’t work if political factions take maximalist positions. And the more diverse the country is, the less it can afford to take maximalist positions.” Really? The president wasn’t asked and didn’t say on which issues he and Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid have compromised with Republicans, from health insurance to reforms in the tax code. Both have arguably taken “maximalist” positions on these and virtually every other issue. There is much else in the Friedman interview that is laughable, such as the president’s claim the news media are “Balkanized,” meaning he and the left no longer have a monopoly on information dissemination. He also said there is too much money in politics; this from someone who spends as much time fundraising as he does playing golf. Feinstein and Gingrich are right. Whatever it takes to defeat ISIL must be done now. The administration has just started arming the Kurds in Northern Iraq. That’s a belated but good beginning. Withdrawal and indifference is a policy for defeat, not only in Iraq, but in the wider war against terrorists. Readers may email Cal Thomas at tcaeditors@tribune.com.

Nation & World Around the World Power struggle deepens in Iraq as US increases its role in fighting Sunni militants BAGHDAD — Iraq’s president snubbed incumbent Prime Minister Nouri al-Maliki and picked another politician to form the next government Monday, setting up a fierce political power struggle even as the country battles extremists in the north and west. The showdown came as the United States increased its role in fighting back Sunni extremists of the Islamic State group that is threatening the autonomous Kurdish region in the north. Senior American officials said U.S. intelligence agencies are directly arming the Kurds who are battling the militants in what would be a shift in Washington’s policy of only working through the central government in Baghdad. U.S. warplanes carried out new strikes Sunday, hitting a convoy of Sunni militants moving to attack Kurdish forces defending the autonomous zone’s capital, Irbil. The recent American airstrikes have helped the Kurds achieve one of their first victories after weeks of retreat as peshmerga fighters over the weekend recaptured two towns near Irbil. The Pentagon’s director of operations said the effort will do little to slow Islamic State militants overall. Haider al-Ibadi, the deputy speaker of parliament from alMaliki’s Shiite Dawa party, was selected by President Fouad Massoum to be the new prime minister and was given 30 days to present a new government to lawmakers for approval. Al-Maliki has defiantly rejected the nomination. In a speech after midnight Sunday, he accused Massoum of blocking his reappointment as prime minister and carrying out “a coup against the constitution and the political process.”

Cease-fire takes hold in Gaza as Israeli, Palestinian negotiators begin talks in Cairo CAIRO — As a new temporary truce took hold, negotiators from Israel and the Hamas militant group resumed indirect talks Monday to reach a long-term cease-fire in the Gaza Strip. The two sides huddled in an Egyptian government building for nine consecutive hours, a Palestinian official said Monday, in what are expected to be marathon negotiations in the coming days. The Palestinian delegations were more optimistic Monday, the Palestinian official told the Associated Press, who spoke on condition of anonymity because he was not authorized to discuss the negotiations with the media. He said progress was made on several issues. The 72-hour truce, brokered by Israel, took effect just after midnight, in the second attempt to halt a month of heavy fighting between the sides. A similar three-day truce collapsed on Friday when militants resumed rocket fire on Israel after the sides were unable to make any headway in Egyptian-brokered negotiations for a more lasting deal. Hamas is seeking an end to an Israeli-Egyptian border blockade, while Israel wants Hamas to disarm. C

7-year-old border blockade, imposed to isolate Hamas, has hurt Gaza’s 1.8 million DEIR EL-BALAH, Gaza Strip — Mohammed al-Telbani lost his life’s work when Israeli shells repeatedly slammed into his four-story snack and cookie factory during the Gaza war, finally sparking a fire that engulfed vats of margarine and sacks of cocoa powder. As he contemplated starting over, sitting near the smoldering ruins of one of Gaza’s largest factories, he looked to Cairo for answers. There, negotiators from Israel and Hamas launched another attempt Monday to negotiate an end to the 34-day-old war — and, perhaps even more crucial for Gaza’s 1.8 million people, reach a new border deal for the coastal territory. Gazans haven’t been able to trade or travel freely since Israel and Egypt imposed stringent border restrictions in response to the violent Hamas takeover of the territory in 2007. The closure also deepened Gaza’s separation from the West Bank and east Jerusalem, areas on the opposite side of Israel that, along with Gaza, are envisioned as part of a future Palestinian state. The blockade was meant to isolate the Islamic militant Hamas and perhaps loosen its grip on power. Seven years later, Hamas remains rooted in Gaza, albeit weakened by a financial crisis brought on by the closure as well as thousands of Israel airstrikes over the past month. Gaza’s civilians have borne the brunt of the blockade. — The Associated Press

Frantic search for missing By DIAA HADID Associated Press

SEMALKA, Syria — Trucks and jeeps trundled slowly across the pontoon bridge, packed with refugees, with children poking their dusty heads out of the windows and truck beds. Nearby, a distraught father frantically scanned them as they passed, hoping to catch sight of his missing son. Beside him, a young man searched for his sister, who he fears was snatched by extremists. Unknown numbers, perhaps hundreds, of men, women and children went missing in the chaos as tens of thousands of Iraqis from the Yazidi religious minority fled in a panic from marauding militants, then spent a week hidden in a barren mountain range before finally making their way into neighboring Syria. The loss of loved ones adds even more suffering to people who spent days stranded in the Sinjar mountains under a blazing son with barely any food or water. Some of the missing may have been gunned down by mil-

itants during the escape. Others were lost as families scattered in panic under gunfire from extremists chasing them into the mountains. Dizzy from thirst, some adults lost track of children in the crowds in the mountains. Some women may have been abducted by militants, and Iraqi and U.S. officials say they believe hundreds of women are being held captive by the radical Islamic State group. “There are many missing, many,” said Naji Khano, who lost his 17-year-old son Sherwan as he fled gunmen. At the Semalka crossing, crowds ofYazidis made their way back from Syria on Sunday and Monday into the relative safety of Iraq’s autonomous Kurdish region in the north. Trucks, jeeps and cars full of Yezidis inched across a pontoon bridge over the Tigris River, which forms the border here. Hundreds of other refugees milled among them on foot, some barefoot, lips cracked from thirst, clutching water bottles, watermelons and flat bread loaves distributed by aid workers. Some men walked into the Tigris river to cool off; moth-

ers bathed their children. One woman walked weeping; a boy held her hand. Most said they had not eaten in days. And many searched for their missing relatives among the crowds. There was no way of knowing how many were missing with the situation still in flux. But over the course of one hour on Sunday, at least a dozen Yazidis said they had lost family members whose fates are now unknown. “My sister is missing,” 22-year-old Amer Qassem said as he walked among the crowds. Qassem said he and dozens of his extended family fled their village of Tel Qassab the night of Aug. 2 when they heard fighters from the Islamic State group were approaching. The militants consider Yazidis as heretics. As the sun rose, militants riding a jeep mounted with a machine-gun spotted them, and opened fire. “We ran everywhere, we were terrified. We lost each other,” Qassem said. The jeep zoomed away. As the extended family regrouped, they realized some women — maybe 10 —

were missing. “My sister Amira was one of them,” he said. “My father is a broken man now, he does not know what to do if something will happen to her.” Two other men earlier told The AP they saw militants round up women at a checkpoint as they shot the men in two different villages. Like others fleeing Yazidimajority villages in the area, Qassem’s family scrambled up the nearby Sinjar mountains, a 60-kilometer (40-mile) range that the Yazidis consider a holy site. There they remained for days, until Kurdish Syrian fighters battled the militants to clear a path for the Yazidis to escape into nearby Syria. Once there, they walked or hitched rides further north to Semalka to cross into Iraq’s Kurdishcontrolled areas. Dakhil Atuseld lost his sister-in-law Wadha and his aunt Laila as they fled the village of Siba under fire from militants. “They disappeared,” he said. “We were for six days in the mountains without food and water, how could we know what happened to them?”

Foreign policy crises intrude on Obama’s vacation By JULIE PACE AP White House Correspondent

CHILMARK, Mass. — Foreign policy crises have a way of intruding on President Barack Obama’s Martha’s Vineyard vacations. Obama’s last three summer sojourns to this Massachusetts island have coincided with tumult primarily in the Middle East and North Africa, as well as elsewhere around the world. In 2011, the president’s golf outings and beach time were interrupted by briefings and calls to foreign leaders as opposition fighters in Libya gained against the government of Moammar Gadhafi. After skipping vacation while running for re-election in 2012, Obama returned to Martha’s Vineyard in 2013 for a trip that coincided with the Egyptian military’s ouster of that country’s first democratically elected leader. And this year, Obama is vacationing against the backdrop of U.S. airstrikes and political chaos in Iraq, along with tensions between Israel and Hamas and between Russia and Ukraine. The president was to speak about the situation on the ground Monday afternoon from a podium set up at a house near his vacation rental. Even before his remarks, Obama was briefed on devel-

opments by two of his top advisers and phone calls to Italian Prime Minister Matteo Renzi and Ukrainian President Petro Poroshenko. The White House said Obama and Poroshenko agreed that any Russian intervention in Ukraine without formal consent and authorization of that country’s government “would be unacceptable and a violation of international law.” Obama was also likely to address the situation in Iraq during a Democratic fundraiser on the island Monday night. The U.S. military launched airstrikes against militant targets in Iraq for the fourth day in a row, as Iraq’s new president announced a new nominee for prime minister — a move that marked a snub for incumbent Nouri al-Maliki. But as with past vacations, Obama has still found plenty of time to put work aside and enjoy the island. He’s already played two rounds of golf since arriving Saturday, and on Monday he headed to the beach with his family.

Bar fight sends one to hospital By DAN BALMER Peninsula Clarion

A bar fight that started between two patrons and escalated with a maximum capacity crowd forced the staff at the Duck Inn on Kalifornsky Beach Road to close several hours early Saturday night after one person was taken to the hospital. Lela Rosin, owner of the Duck Inn said she had never seen a crowd as “rambunctious” as they were that night in her eight years as owner. She said she noticed a big influx of people around 10 p.m. after the end of the Kenai Peninsula Beer Festival that concluded down the road outside the Soldotna Regional Sports Complex. Rosin said she attended the festival, which sold out tickets earlier in the evening. The fight occurred between two local customers and ended with one man getting hit in the head with a beer bottle at about 11 p.m., Rosin said. Multiple Alaska State Troopers responded to the bar and advised the owner to close early after the crowd appeared to be energized from the incident. Central Emergency Services transported the injured man to Central Peninsula

Enstar has nearly 140,000 natural gas customers in Southcentral. The company has taken heat recently for rate hikes related to lower demand for gas because of this year’s warm spring in the region.

Rosin said he is a regular customer who has since been released from the hospital and is doing well. “I feel the fight was a misunderstanding and wouldn’t have happened if so many people were not involved,” Rosin said. “Troopers quickly arrived and helped control the situation. They suggested, given the energy of the crowd, it would be best to close down and reopen the next day.” Troopers spokesperson Megan Peters said nobody was arrested in the altercation and the report said about 15 people were involved in the fight. Rosin said the staff did a great job to help dissipate the crowd and made sure people had a ride home. She said a lot of people that came from the festival had designated drivers and her staff made it a priority to make sure all the customers got home safe. “I never had seen anything happen like this here,” she said. “I’m thankful everybody is still standing and I hope to never have that happen again.”

would remain in place. The clerical workers narrowly approved a contract with the revised retirement benefits, while the operations group “strongly and emotionally rejected it,” the union reports. “The short takeaway is that we are not asking for any increase in pension benefits,” Dunnagan said. Both contract offers were for three years, a period that began March 31, he said. As for further negotiations, Dunnagan said none are scheduled. There was miscommunication between union and company leadership regarding a meeting set for Aug. 9, which ultimately didn’t happen, he said. Emergency operations crews were instructed by union leadership to remain on the job Monday until work sites and equipment could be secured. criminal mischief and theft and charges and remanded to the Kenai Peninsula Youth Facility.

He said these types of crimes show the need for a trooper post or expanded police coverage in Nikiski. “(These kids) put ideas together and thought they could get away with it,” he said. “There are enough clues and this is a small enough community that something will pop up. If we had more patrols criminals would have less success and would make it harder for them.”

Next fall DOT&PF plans to move the highway as a permanent fix, Reese said. However, because the permitting process to move the road is lengthy, DOT&PF determined shoring up the river was necessary this year. DOT&PF is in the STIP — Statewide Transportation Improvement Program — phase for this part of the project. “(DOT&PF officials) do anticipate moving the highway

just a little bit north away from the river,” she said. “And they’re also probably going to be doing some bank work to reshape the river there just a little bit so we have less of an impact, less of a curve, so the river flows better.” The estimated cost for the project is about $8 million. Reese said DOT&PF expects to have funding for the project in the next fiscal year and be-

gin construction in the fall. The high dollar figure is because extra work will have to be done to minimize impacts to the river, she said. Reese said the department began looking at the erosion at Mile 57 and planning work last June. Kaylee Osowski can be reached at kaylee.osowski@ peninsulaclarion.com

Camp teaches hoops, language JUNEAU (AP) — A basketball camp in Juneau is about more than the sport itself. It’s about revitalizing the Tlingit language. The Sealaska Heritage Institute sponsors the summer camps each year to help youngsters learn Tlingit. Linguists say there are fewer than 150 native Tlingit speakers alive today, Juneau radio station KTOO reported. On the first day of camp last week, a dozen middle and high school students participated on the basketball court at the University of Alaska Southeast. As the students stretched, Jessica Chester counted to 10 in Tlingit. Chester, who teaches Alaska Native languages for the Juneau School District, has been helping out with the basketball camps since 2006. Chester said all of the basketball drills incorporate some Tlingit. “You know, if they’re saying, ‘Go get a ball,’ I’m going to be behind the coach saying ‘kooch’eit’aa. . .’ You know, go get a ball in Tlingit,” she said.

Chester, originally from Yakutat, began studying Tlingit in college. She grew up hearing elders speak the language. “Languages carry the ideas, and the feelings, and the emotions and thoughts of a culture, of a people, and so bringing

Around Alaska Spokesman: Sullivan voted, but not in Senate race JUNEAU — A spokesman for Republican U.S. Senate contender Dan Sullivan says Sullivan voted in the 2010 election, just not that year’s contested Senate race. During a yes-or-no lightning round in a debate Sunday night, Sullivan said no when asked if he’d written in Republican Sen. Lisa Murkowski’s name in the 2010 race. Murkowski mounted a general-election write-in campaign to keep her job after losing to tea party favorite Joe Miller in the primary. Miller is seeking the GOP nomination again this year. Lt. Gov. Mead Treadwell is also running. Treadwell said he wrotein Murkowski. Sullivan spokesman Mike Anderson said Sullivan abstained from voting in the Senate race out of concern his vote would be a conflict of interest with his duties as attorney general, a post Sullivan held during the election.

Native languages as official state languages. Supporters hope the action will help boost efforts to revitalize those languages. The institute decided to make language preservation its top priority about 15 years ago. The inspiration came after meeting with a group of Hawaii language preservationists, according to the institute’s president, Rosita Worl. Indigenous languages were officially recognized by the state of Hawaii in 1978. “We looked at their programs,” Worl said. “And I will tell you, our board of trustees started to cry, because they saw little children speaking the Hawaiian language. And they said, ‘If the Hawaiians can do that, we can do that.’” At the Juneau basketball camp, 16-year-old Jaime KelleyPaul said he’s not even that interested in sports. He wants to build up the Alaska Native pride. “It’s my culture. I love it,” Kelley-Paul said. “It’s fun to learn about it.

Between July 1 and July 30, Put Alaska First reported nearly $670,000 in contributions from the Senate Majority PAC, according to a Federal Election Commission filing. It ended the period with a negative balance of nearly $40,000. Senate Majority PAC has been a major funder of Put Alaska First, which for months has run ads against the presumptive GOP front-runner, Dan Sullivan, and recently turned attention to another Republican in the race, Mead Treadwell. The primary is Aug. 19. The other prominent Republican in the race is tea party favorite Joe Miller. Begich, who is seeking a second term, is not expected to face much of a primary challenge. Kyle Kohli, an Alaska-based spokesman for the Republican National Committee, in a release called Put Alaska First a “front group” for Reid and others who want the Senate under Democratic control. Republicans have focused on Alaska as part of their efforts to wrest back control of the chamber. The Republican National Committee has been trying to frame the Alaska race as a referendum on Reid and President Barack Obama. Jim Lottsfeldt, the treasurer of Put Alaska First, said by email that he’s happy to work alongside the Senate Majority PAC to promote Begich.

Stewart, Ward shared love of sprint cars DAN GELSTON Associated Press

PORT LEYDEN, N.Y. — Kevin Ward Jr. was crafting a reputation as a wheelman, the kind of driver who could race vehicles on any track without fear. He’d sit up on his seat, floor it, and zip his way through a maze of cars straight toward the front of the pack. For points. For fun. Often for little money. “He would go to tracks that a lot of other drivers wouldn’t go to,” Chuck Miller, the race director and president for the Empire Super Sprints circuit, said Monday. “If we had co-sanctioned races with other organizations where we really weren’t giving points or anything, but it was a deal where you wanted to see how you stacked

up against the other competition, the Wards were willing to go and do that and see where they were at.” Ward began racing go-karts in 1998 at age 4. In 2010, he moved on to sprint cars and was Empire Super Sprint racing rookie of the year in 2012. The 20-year-old raced mostly on dirt tracks a few hours from his home in Port Leyden, a village of 700 in northern New York. Ward was killed Saturday night about 140 miles away at a clay track in Canandaigua. NASCAR champion Tony Stewart was the big name in the field, racing with the young guys while he was in the area for a Sprint Cup race at Watkins Glen the next day. Ward and Stewart tangled, and Ward hit the wall. Ward walked on the track apparently to confront Stewart, and was struck when Stewart’s vehicle

seemed to fishtail. On Monday, several cars were parked in front of the Ward home in Port Leyden. A police officer stood across the street, politely asking reporters not to park on the road’s shoulder. Helen McHale has lived across the street for 30 years and remembers hearing the noise when Ward raced go-carts. Kevin Ward Sr. runs a successful painting business, and locals thought his son might make it big in the racing world. “His dad goes to every race,” she said. “He’s a good kid, polite, big smile, and they’re a good family.” Stewart and Ward shared a love of racing sprint cars: high-powered, winged cars built for running on short oval or circular dirt and paved tracks. Drivers have to hit the gas to turn, not

necessarily use the wheel. After the crash, Ward was standing to the right of Stewart’s familiar No. 14 car on the dimly lit track. According to video and witness accounts, Ward was struck by the right rear tire and hurtled through the air. Authorities questioned the 43-yearold Stewart once on Saturday night and went to Watkins Glen to talk to him again Sunday. Ontario County Sheriff Philip Povero said that investigators don’t have any evidence at this point to support criminal intent. Povero said Monday there were no plans “at this time” to talk to Stewart again. “At this time, there are no facts that exist that support any criminal behavior or conduct, or that any probable cause of a criminal act, in this investigation,” he said. Povero said the autopsy was com-

pleted Monday and found Ward died of blunt force trauma. Stewart said Sunday “there aren’t words” to describe his sadness over Ward’s death. Stewart hasn’t announced whether he’ll drive in this weekend’s NASCAR race at Michigan International Speedway, but his short track “hobby” is on hold. He won’t appear Saturday in a race in Warsaw, Indiana. “It is still an emotional time for all involved, Tony included. He is grieving, and grief doesn’t have a timetable,” spokesman Mike Arning said Monday. Canandaigua Speedway promoter Jeremie Corcoran said the track has canceled Wednesday’s event to give “my family, staff, fans, and racing teams time to grieve and process all that has occurred.”

Royals now lead AL Central By The Associated Press

KANSAS CITY, Mo. — The Kansas City Royals won their eighth straight game and took over the AL Central lead Monday night when Yordano Ventura outdueled Sonny Gray during a 3-2 win over Oakland Athletics. The victory, coupled with a loss by Detroit in Pittsburgh, gave the long-suffering Royals a division lead at the latest point in a season since 2003. Alcides Escobar drove in a run in the second inning before delivering a two-out single off Gray (12-6) in the seventh, putting Kansas City in front. Kelvin Herrera (3-2) took

over for Ventura and tossed runs, eight hits and four walks in five runs — two earned — in five five-plus innings. innings. spotless seventh inning. PIRATES 11, TIGERS 6 PITTSBURGH — Travis Snider hit two home runs and Starling Marte had a bases-loaded triple as the Pirates coasted to a win against the Tigers. The loss, coupled with Kansas City’s 3-2 win over Oakland, dropped the Tigers a half-game behind the now first-place Royals in the AL Central Division. Justin Verlander (10-11) left after one inning with right shoulder soreness. He gave up five runs — four earned — on four hits. He walked two and struck out three. Pittsburgh starter Jeff Locke (4-3) was responsible for four

Martin hit his sixth home run of the year in the sixth inning, and Ike Davis followed with his eighth.

RAYS 7, RANGERS 0 ARLINGTON, Texas — Drew Smyly allowed three hits in his first win since the David Price trade, Matt Joyce had a two-run single and the Rays beat the Rangers.

in golf. His victory in the PGA Championship was more about grit. That might be more impressive than some of the numbers associated with his latest major. McIlroy has won his four majors at a combined 62-under par. The only other players in the last century to win four majors 25 or younger were Tiger Woods, Jack Nicklaus and Bobby Jones. It had been six years since anyone won two straight majors (Padraig Harrington) or three straight tournaments (Woods). “It’s beginning to look a little Tigeresque, I supposed,” Graeme McDowell said. “I said to the boys at The Open I didn’t think we were going to see the new Tiger era just yet. I’m not eating my words, but I’m certainly starting to chew on them right now.” The comparisons with Woods are becoming inevitable. Even though the circumstances were slightly different, McIlroy had his own Valhalla moment. The last two PGA Championships at Valhalla were all about guts. Fourteen years ago, Woods was on the verge of going three shots down with three holes to play when a mixture of determination and good fortune turned everything around. Woods made a 12foot par putt and Bob May missed a 4-footer for birdie. Woods caught him two holes later with a birdie set up by a 335-yard drive on a hole where he couldn’t afford to miss. He forced a playoff with a 6-foot birdie on the last hole that Woods still calls the most important putt he ever made. That was three majors in a row for Woods, and he went on to an unprecedented sweep of the majors. McIlroy is not there yet. The next step is Augusta National — the Masters starts

O n G olf D oug Ferguson in 241 days — and a shot at his third straight major and the career Grand Slam. What he carries with him is the belief that he can battle back just as easily as he can blow away a field. Boy Wonder can make the game look easy, even in the majors. He was eight shots ahead at Congressional going into the last day and he set the U.S. Open scoring record on a rain-softened course in 2011. He was three ahead at Kiawah Island going into the last round of the 2012 PGA Championship when he won by a record eight shots. And he had a sixshot lead on Sunday when he polished off that wire-to-wire win at the British Open last month. So he was in foreign territory standing in the 10th fairway at Valhalla on Sunday. He watched from 281 yards away as Rickie Fowler poured in a 30-foot birdie putt that put McIlroy three shots behind with nine holes to play. “I knew I needed to do something, and I needed to play catch-up and I needed to make some birdies,” McIlroy said. “That 10th hole was huge.” The 3-wood he struck — a little lower than he planned, a little more left than he wanted — rolled up the left side of the fairway and onto the green just 7 feet left of the cup, and the eagle putt is what got him back in the game. McIlroy still had plenty of work left. He made a 10-foot birdie on the 13th hole to share the lead. He went back ahead by one shot when the A-list of challengers — Fowler, Phil Mickelson, Henrik Stenson — all made a mistakes. And then he sealed it with a 9-iron from a fairway bunker on the 17th See GOLF, Page A-9

“Under existing NCAA rules, student-athletes in the next recruiting cycle (i.e., student-athletes who would first enroll in college in Fall 2016) may receive offer letters from colleges starting on August 1, 2015. Bylaw 13.9.2.2. NCAA seeks to confirm that the existing NCAA rules can remain in force until August 1, 2015, although we understand the injunction would not permit the NCAA to adopt or enforce rules inconsistent with the injunction on or after that date,” attorneys wrote in the filing, pointing out that is the first day schools can offer scholarships to players in the 201617 recruiting class. On a second point, the NCAA contends, is Wilken’s language regarding the “licensing or use C

of prospective, current, or former student-athletes” could be interpreted to apply to current players. “This has prompted concerns among colleges and universities that the injunction might, contrary to the Court’s opinion, apply immediately to current student-athletes,” the attorneys wrote. “Based on the Court’s opinion, the NCAA believes the language of Paragraph 1 refers to compensation only for student-athletes first enrolling after July 1, 2016. Otherwise the injunction would permit colleges and conferences to compensate current student-athletes before the NCAA’s member colleges have an opportunity to consider new rules consistent with the injunction.” Attorneys wrote that they

want the clarifications to ensure that there are no violations of the permanent injunction Wilken imposed, which allows players at big schools to have money generated by television contracts put into a trust fund to pay them when they leave. Wilken said the body that governs college athletics could set a cap on the money paid to athletes, as long as it allows at least $5,000 per athlete per year of competition. Individual schools could offer less money, she said, but only if they don’t unlawfully conspire among themselves to set those amounts. NCAA President Mark Emmert said Sunday that the governing body would appeal “at least in part” the ruling. “We look forward to present-

ing our arguments on appeal, and in the meantime we will continue to champion studentathlete success on the field and in the classroom,” NCAA chief legal officer Donald Remy said in a statement released after Emmert’s announcement. Winning on appeal could be a major challenge given the venue in Oakland, California. Though the NCAA has a stronger historical record in appeals courts, where a recent University of Illinois study found that it wins 71 percent of the time in both the second and third rounds of cases, this would go to the 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals. Legal experts say that court has generally been a “labor-friendly” court, which could hurt the NCAA’s chances of victory.

Boarders sue ski resort SALT LAKE CITY — A reignited culture clash between snowboarders and skiers didn’t get an immediate resolution Monday after boarders suing one of the last ski resorts in the country to prohibit their hobby argued in a Utah courtroom that the ban is discriminatory and based on outdated stereotypes. U.S. District Judge Dee Benson didn’t rule on the resort’s request to throw out the lawsuit, and there’s no deadline for him to do so. The Alta ski area, which sits on mostly federally owned land in the mountains east of Salt Lake City, said a snowboarder-free mountain is safer for skiers. The sport is a choice so boarders shouldn’t get special protection under the Constitution, resort attorney Robert Rice argued. Alta says it is a private business and its permit with the U.S. Forest Service allows it to restrict ski devices it deems risky. Resort attorneys contend snowboarders can be dangerous because their sideways stance leaves them with a blind spot. But snowboarders claim the resort bans them because it doesn’t like their baggy clothes, overuse of words like “gnarly” and “radical,” and perceived risky behavior on the slopes. “This case is not about equipment, it’s not about skiing and snowboarding,” attorney Jon Schofield argued. “It’s about deciding you don’t like a group of people, you don’t want to associate with that group of people, and you’re excluding them.” Under questioning from the judge, Schofield conceded that there is little legal precedent for the case but said the lawsuit should have a chance to be heard. — Staff and wire reports

Peninsula Clarion, Tuesday, August 12, 2014

Crossword

Woman mistaken for cougar wants a big cat, not a cub may send the wrong message, and that’s why men in your target demographic aren’t showing an interest. Talk to your friends about this and see what they have to offer. DEAR ABBY: I have a stressful job but do not work “regular” hours. I also care for my aged mother, which is like having another job. Be- Abigail Van Buren cause of this, I have little time to myself or to relax. During warm weather I enjoy taking an occasional break on my back deck, whether reading materials for work, enjoying a novel or catching a quick nap. Frequently, I’ll transact business on my cellphone. Anytime my neighbor sees me sitting on my deck, he’ll come out of his house. He thinks it’s funny to say things like, “Boy, I wish I could be like you and not have to work,” or “Must be nice to just sit around.” The first few times it was funny, but I no longer find it humorous — especially when I’m stressed out about work or my mother. Yesterday I warned him, “Don’t go there!”

How can I nicely let my neighbor know his joke is now stale and no longer appropriate? With all the pressure I’m under, he’s making even a quick break stressful. — BEHIND THE 8-BALL IN OHIO DEAR BEHIND THE 8-BALL: Your neighbor may be a tad jealous of what he perceives as all your free time, or he may be a one-joke wonder who’s trying to be friendly. But the nicest and most direct way to get your message across would be to explain that you’re not only working from home, but also caring for your mother — and when you take these breaks, SOLITUDE is necessary. 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. To order “How to Write Letters for All Occasions,” send your name and mailing address, plus check or money order for $7 (U.S. funds) to: Dear Abby — Letter Booklet, P.O. Box 447, Mount Morris, IL 61054-0447. Shipping and handling are included in the price.

Rubes

coming in from left and right. You could be overwhelmed by a situation and all the calls, texts and knocks on the door. Be easygoing and responsive. Tonight: In the limelight. CANCER (June 21-July 22) HHHH Look past the obvious. Detach if you become triggered. You might be looking at a situation from a limited perspective. Reach out to someone at a distance, and a conversation about a trip will be likely. You need a change of scenery. Tonight: Enjoy the moment. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) HHHH Venus enters your sign this morning. This stellar change only adds to your desirability and your need to enjoy the good life. Though you are unlikely to toss your plans to the wayside, you certainly might have a more easygoing attitude. Tonight: Go along with a friend’s suggestion. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) HHHH Others will seek you, but you might need some alone time. Decide not to worry so much. If you are single, use caution in the next few weeks; you are likely to attract emotionally unavailable people during this period. Tonight: The only answer is “yes.” LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) HHHHH Venus — your ruling planet— moves into a position where you will be able to pull white rabbits out of a black hat. Settle in and give some thought as to what you would like to manifest in the next few weeks. Your popularity is likely to soar. Tonight: As you like it. SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) HHHH You might decide to un-

Ziggy

leash your intense intellect and resourcefulness. Others might be taken aback by the quality or depth of a conversation. You do not need to explain to anyone what you want at this moment. Tonight: Add some vitality to your personal life. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) HHHH If you feel that an agreement or situation is off, pull back some. Honor your feelings, and you will be OK. Family matters might be on the back burner, which also might add an element of confusion. A friend will show you his or her caring. Tonight: Head home early. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) HHHH You could feel as though a personal matter is out of whack. Know what you expect to get from a situation. A loved one will support you in your feelings; however, a friend might not be on the up-and-up. Be more observant. Tonight: Take some much-needed personal time. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) HHHH Others are likely to come through for you once you let them know that you need some help or support. You could feel as if you are in a no-win situation, but with some different perspectives and feedback, you will realize that there is a solution. Tonight: Hang with friends. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) HHHH You are bound and determined to show your competency. You could take someone’s harsh comments personally, but that would be a mistake. Stay centered and focused. You know what you want — head in that direction. Tonight: Could go till the wee hours.

Seat-belt warning Dear Readers: Can you believe that one in seven U.S. drivers still doesn’t wear a seat belt every time he or she gets in a car? What the heck are people thinking? Oh, that’s right, they aren’t! Some states have primary laws about seat belts, and others have secondary laws. Primary laws allow police to pull over a driver because he or she does not appear to be wearing a seat belt, and that’s all it takes! Secondary laws allow drivers to be ticketed if they are not wearing a seat belt when they are pulled over for another offense. A law-enforcement officer might see an out-of-date license plate, a rear brake light out or someone driving faster than the speed limit. Check the laws in your state or any state you may be driving through. — Heloise Painting hint Dear Heloise: I have a hint that can help others who paint around the house: Take a large rubber band and stretch it around the paint can (Heloise here: from top to bottom) so that it lays flat across the open top. Dip your paintbrush in the paint and wipe the excess off by wiping the paintbrush against the rubber band. The rest of the can stays clean! — Lisa W., via email Cleaner cooler Dear Heloise: We have a couple of chest-type ice coolers that we use during the summer. Whenever they get dingy, I scrub them with baking soda and water. Then, in between uses, I store them with some baking soda sprinkled in the bottom. Keeps them fresh for the next time we need them. — Barbara P. in Colorado

SUDOKU

By Tom Wilson

By Dave Green

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

DEAR ABBY: I’m a single woman in my late 30s and have an 18-year-old daughter. When I am alone or out with my girlfriends, I am constantly hit on by younger men. My girlfriends say it’s because I don’t look my age and that I should feel flattered. Well, I am not a “cougar,” and I don’t get turned on by younger men. I find it offensive when I am approached by them. While my single friends are being asked on romantic dates by professional older men, I’m being asked on dates by struggling college boys who have no car, no job and cramped living quarters with three other roommates. Give me a break! It has reached the point that I just pretend to be married. But it’s starting to bother me that mature men don’t find me attractive. I have stopped wanting to go out because of this. What should I do? — IN A FUNK IN FRESNO DEAR IN A FUNK: Where’s your sense of humor? Instead of telling these young men you’re married, why not tell them something closer to the truth — that you’re old enough to be their mother and ask if they happen to have a single uncle. Seriously, if the only men who pay attention to you are men in their early 20s, your problem may be the way you’re packaging the product you’re trying to sell. Your makeup, hairstyle and attire

This photo provided by Zoo Atlanta shows Soren, a two-yearold male barn owl, who escaped from trainers Sunday.

Search for missing owl ATLANTA (AP) — Zoo Atlanta officials say they’re searching for a barn owl that flew away from trainers over the weekend. Zoo spokeswoman Keisha Hines says Soren, a 2-yearold male, had been tracked to Cherokee Avenue after flying from trainers Sunday but may no longer be wearing tracking equipment. Hines says Soren is about 10 inches tall and is most like-

ly to be found in leafy branches high in the tree canopy. Hines says the owl may come to the ground for food and is wearing leather anklets on each foot. Hines says the owl also has a gold band on his left foot. Zoo officials say Soren isn’t a danger to humans or pets. Hines says the owl is fearful of strangers and anyone who sees him should call Zoo Atlanta security.

Sidewinder This pup, named Jake, is a 7 month-old black lab/husky mix. He has floppy ears and walks sideways. His owner Bob has taught him to say dog bone. Jake enjoys the beach.
