In the news Candle starts apartment fire

A residential fire in a Soldotna apartment building that started from a candle was put out by firefighters before the it could spread Sunday. Central Emergency Services responded to a structure fire reported in a two-story apartment building on Liberty Lane off Kalifornsky Beach Road at about 6:11 p.m. The fire started when a candle near an open window was blown over by the wind and a curtain caught fire in an upstairs bedroom, said CES Health and Safety Officer Brad Nelson. The owner of the apartment used a fire extinguisher to contain the fire while another occupant dialed 911. CES crews from the K-beach and Soldotna stations arrived and put out the fire within five minutes. No injuries were reported as residents were able to evacuate the building, Nelson said. With fire damage to walls and carpet in the upstairs room, damage is estimated to be about $1,000, Nelson said. — Staff report

Happy 50th!

Borough, school district and college celebrate 5 decades

By KELLY SULLIVAN Peninsula Clarion

Kenai Peninsula College Advancement Programs Manager Suzie Kendrick stood before a crowd of hundreds of Kenai Peninsula residents gathered on the lawn outside KPC’s Kenai River Campus Goodrich building. Sharing the stage with her throughout the day was Borough Mayor Mike Navarre, Chief of Staff Paul Ostrander, KPC College Director Gary Turner, State Sen. Peter Micciche, R-Soldotna, and KPB School District Superintendent Steve Atwater. The local government officials, organization directors and residents gathered for the KPC-KPB-KPBSD Joint 50th Anniversary Celebration Thursday. The scent of barbecue permeated the scene, and people milled about from the KPB information tent to the Cake Lady in Sterling’s table, which was piled high with 800 mini-cupcakes to the Boys and Girls club booth where children could get wacky hairdos with vibrant dyes.

Community member Andy Paule prepares a corn husk during the Kenai Peninsula Borough, Kenai Peninsula College alumni and Kenai Peninsula Borough School District joint 50th anniversary community barbecue, Thursday at the KPC Kenai River Campus in Soldotna.

Kendrick called for the roving audience’s attention as she read the content list of the time capsule, which will be installed in the brick walls of the Brockel building later this fall. She said the box will be reopened at the 100-year anniversary. “It’s just going to be a hoot for them,” Kendrick said. “If they can figure out how to open this thing

up.” The content is a mix of the local history. Two KPC history books, the 50th anniversary compilation called “Keeping the Fire Burning,” by Tony Lewis and Clark Fair, and “Kenai Peninsula College History” by Lance Peterson were included. Kachemak Bay and Kenai River water samples and an air sample were also added

to the list because the air is likely to look completely different in 50 years, Kendrick said.

hear both 7 hurt in Sunday bus crash Locals sides of oil tax issue The driver of a bus died while transporting 20 Snug Harbor Seafoods employees, which caused the vehicle to veer off the Sterling Highway early Sunday morning. Steven A. Battershall, 59, of Sterling, was pronounced dead on the scene, apparently from natural causes, according to an Alaska State Troopers dispatch. Seven employees aboard the bus received non-life threatening injuries following the accident. Central Emergency Services responded to the crash at Mile 90 of the Sterling Highway at 6:45 a.m. According to a press release from CES, the driver of the “school bus” type vehicle went unconscious. The bus, traveling northbound, went off the road and continued traveling for an estimated 0.25 miles, including going up and down a gravel pile near Fellman Machinery Photo by Dan Balmer/Peninsula Clarion before traveling through a Buddy Linson from Buddy’s Garage in Soldotna unhooks his forested area and eventually truck from a bus he pulled out of the woods. The bus went off hitting a large tree and stopthe road and crashed into a wooded area off Mile 90 of the Sterling Highway early Sunday morning. See CRASH, page A-10

On Tuesday, Alaskans will have a say in the state’s oil tax structure with a yes vote to repeal Senate Bill 21 or no vote to approve the law. Locals gathered Thursday evening in Soldotna for a forum hosted by the League of Women Voters of the Central Kenai Peninsula on Ballot Measure No. 1. The audience heard from Sen. Hollis French, D-Anchorage, who thinks the law should be repealed, and Rebecca Logan, general manager of the Alaska Support Industry Alliance, who represented the vote to keep SB 21 in place. In 2013, lawmakers implemented SB 21, which replaced Alaska’s Clear and Equitable Share, or ACES, oil tax structure that was passed in 2007. French said he thinks some legislators involved in the passage of SB 21 would now like to change their votes. “We should have negotiated a better deal,” he said. “The reduction in revenues from SB 21 will drain our savings. It will lead to cuts to public education funding

and other essential investments we have to make around the state.” Logan said the only number that matters is production because it is the state’s main source of revenue. “What we know about production is for every year under ACES production declined,” Logan said. Since SB 21 passed, she said there has been a “significant” change in activity that leads toward production. French said while Alaska has gotten a “few more drops of oil,” the state has given up billions of dollars of revenue. “I think it’s tough to say that somehow this reduction in taxes is going to fill the pipeline,” he said. “The governor promised us a million barrels. … Nobody is making that claim anymore.” Logan countered French’s statement saying Gov. Sean Parnell didn’t promise 1 million barrels of oil, and that instead he said that was a goal. She said the “drops” of oil are better than what ACES brought the state. She said the state gave more than $4 billion in tax credits under ACES. See VOTE, page A-10

JACKSON, Wyo. (AP) — A new U.S. Geological Survey report indicates a slightly greater earthquake hazard in the Greater Yellowstone region of Wyoming, Montana and Idaho than previously thought, a geophysicist says. “The new maps show how Yellowstone has had a relative increase in the hazard,” University of Utah geophysicist Bob Smith said. “It’s not a lot — it’s like 5 to 10 percent of peak acceleration.” The USGS map of seismic hazards also shows that the region is as seismically hazardous as anywhere in the United States. “It’s an area of well-abovenormal earthquake hazard,” Smith said. “And now with all the population going in — all the new roads and dams — also high risk.” A seasonal Moose resident, Smith was an advisory review member for the USGS report. The nationwide USGS hazard maps and adjoining docu-

ments were last updated in 2006, he told the Jackson Hole News & Guide. The federal document has more real-world implications than most scientific studies because it is used to determine building codes and dictates how robustly buildings must be constructed. In a sense, the USGS seismic hazard maps are predictions of the likelihood for earthquakes. “They are forecast maps,” Smith said, “because these are calculations of ground motions in certain time periods ahead of right now — they are essentially forms of forecastablity.” The Teton Fault in northwest Wyoming has the highest seismic hazard in the Greater Yellowstone area, Smith said. The last major seismic event in the Yellowstone region was the 1959 Hebgen Lake Quake in Montana. That catastrophic quake underlines the importance of the hazard maps, Smith said.

‘It’s an area of well-above-normal earthquake hazard.’ — Bob Smith, University of Utah geophysicist

‘Turtles’ tops weak debut for ‘Expendales 3’ By JAKE COYLE AP Film Writer

NEW YORK — Moviegoers continued to shell out for “Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles,” while Sylvester Stallone’s action ensemble “The Expendables 3” was easily out-gunned in its weekend debut. Paramount Pictures’ rebooted reptiles took in $28.4 million in the film’s second weekend, according to studio estimates Sunday. That far surpassed the limp $16.2 million earned by Stallone’s gang of aged but buff

warriors. The paltry, fourth-place total for “The Expendables 3” is well below previous debuts in the Lionsgate franchise. The last two “Expendables” opened with $34.8 million (in August 2010) and $28.6 million (in August 2012). The third film was the first to be rated PG-13 in the previously R-rated series, which potentially signaled watered-down explosiveness to an audience that was largely over 25, anyway. “Expendables 3,” which features a sprawling cast of Stallone, Arnold Schwarzenegger,

Harrison Ford, Mel Gibson and others, also leaked online before its release, potentially damaging its impact in theaters. Instead, Marvel’s “Guardians of the Galaxy” came in second with $24.7 million, bringing its three-week cumulative total to $222 million for distributor Walt Disney. Along with the Nickelodeon Movies-produced “Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles,” the cosmic romp starring Chris Pratt has helped restore some strength to the summer box office. Sequels are already in the works for both films. After box-office returns well off the pace of last summer, Hollywood has made a slight comeback in August, typically a dumping ground for studio leftovers. The summer overall is still running at a 15 percent deficit from last year’s recordbreaking season, but the gap had once been above 20 percent. August is up 14 percent on last year. “It’s called the dog days of August for a reason,” said Paul Dergarabedian, senior media analyst for box-office tracker Rentrak, “but thankfully in a summer with a lot of ups and downs, this has been a really good August.” A busy weekend slate also helped. Opening in third place was the 20th Century Fox buddy comedy “Let’s Be Cops,” starring Jake Johnson and Damon Wayans Jr. It took in $17.7 million. Also debuting was the Lois Lowry adaption “The Giver,” a dystopian young-adult tale starring Jeff Bridges and Meryl Streep. The Weinstein Co. release opened with an estimated $12.8 million.

1. “Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles,” $28.4 million ($25.6 million international). 2. “Guardians of the Galaxy,” $24.7 million ($33.1 million international). 3. “Let’s Be Cops,” $17.7 million ($650,000 international). 4. “The Expendables 3,” $16.2 million ($15 million international). 5. “The Giver,” $12.8 million. 6. “Into the Storm,” $7.7 million (6.7 million international). 7. “The Hundred-Foot Journey,” $7.1 million. 8. “Lucy,” $5.3 million ($22 million international). 9. “Step Up All In,” $2.7 million ($3 million international). 10. “Boyhood,” $2.1 million. Estimated ticket sales for Friday through Sunday at international theaters (excluding the U.S. and Canada), according to Rentrak: 1. “How To Train Your Dragon 2,” $37.7 million. 2. “Guardians of the Galaxy,” $33.1 million. 3. “Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles,” $25.6 million. 4. “Lucy,” $22 million. 5. “The Admiral: Roaring Currents,” $20 million. 6. “Dawn of the Planet of the Apes,” $16.5 million. 7. “The Expendables 3,” $15 million. 8. “Pirates,” $13.5 million. 9. “Transformers: Age of Extinction,” $8.4 million. 10. “The Inbetweeners Movie 2,” $7 million.

Estimated ticket sales for Friday through Sunday at U.S. and Canadian theaters, according to Rentrak. Where available, latest international numbers are also included. Final domestic figures will be released on Monday.

Author Erdrich wins Ohio peace prize By LISA CORNWELL Associated Press

CINCINNATI — Author Louise Erdrich, whose writings chronicle contemporary Native American life through characters representing its mix of heritages and cultures, was announced Sunday as the winner of the Dayton Literary Peace Prize’s distinguished achievement award. Erdrich was raised in North Dakota by an Ojibwe-French mother and a German-American father, and her works have reflected both sides of that heritage. With ties to North Dakota and Minnesota, Erdrich has said she lives in many places and is a member of the Turtle Mountain Chippewa tribal nation. Erdrich’s novel “The Round House” told the story of a teenage boy’s effort to investigate an attack on his mother on a fictional North Dakota reservation and of his struggle to come to terms with a crime of violence against his mother. It won the 2012 National Book Award for fiction. Her first novel, “Love Medicine,” won the 1984 National Book Critics Circle Award, and Erdrich’s “The Plague of Doves” was a finalist for the 2009 Pulitzer Prize for fiction. That novel explored racial discord, loss of land and changing fortunes in North Dakota. The Dayton prizes are meant to recognize literature’s power to foster peace, social justice and global understanding, and the distinguished achievement award is given for body of work.

The award is called the Richard C. Holbrooke Distinguished Achievement Award for the late U.S. diplomat who brokered the 1995 Dayton peace accords on Bosnia. Dayton Literary Peace Prize organizers announced the award first to The Associated Press. Erdrich, whose works also include poetry, short stories, nonfiction and children’s books, said in a statement that she does not consider herself a “peaceful” writer. “I am a troubled one, longing for peace,” Erdrich said. Erdrich’s writings show the United States shares a history of violence, discrimination and neglect with other countries clashing over culture, religion and ancient territorial claims, said Sharon Rab, founder and cochairwoman of the Dayton Literary Peace Prize Foundation. “Her work reminds us that we are not observers but participants in the national history of the ownership of land and the taking of territory,” Rab said. Erdrich said peace depends on clean water and clean energy for everyone. “By allowing fossil fuel corporations to control earth’s climate and toxify pure water, we are visiting wars of scarcity upon our children, our generations,” she said in the statement.

What Others Say

Selection of preferred F-35 site great news The Interior got some of the best

Opinion

CLARION P

news Thursday that residents have seen all year. After a lengthy selection process, the Air Force announced it has picked Eielson Air Force Base as the preferred location for two squadrons of its next-generation F-35 fighter jets. It’s a decision that has the potential to benefit local communities for decades. It’s also a ringing endorsement of the military and strategic importance of the base, which local, state and national leaders have touted both in attempts to save Eielson from downsizing and closure and in the fight to bring in new units like the F-35s. Before we get ahead of ourselves, there are still a few hoops to jump through before the jets wing their way into Eielson’s expansive training space. The final decision will hinge on the successful completion of an environmental impact statement, slated to be done by November of 2015. That study could still raise issues with Eielson’s selection if it identifies obstacles that can’t be overcome. It’s a road Eielson has been down before, as a draft EIS was completed when the Air Force was considering the transfer of the base’s F-16 Aggressor Squadron to Joint Base Elmendorf-Richardson in Anchorage. That study didn’t identify any massive weaknesses in Eielson’s ability to house aircraft and their crews, and though the needs of the F-35s will be different, the parameters under study will likely be similar. Assuming the base clears the EIS hurdle, the creation of about 3,000 jobs at Eielson (as estimated by a Fairbanks Economic Development Corp.) will be a tremendous economic boon for the area. FEDC estimates that those jobs will mean an additional $379 million in new payroll for the area, which will touch virtually every sector of the local economy. At the same time, there are reasons to consider the economic influx in a sober light. Fairbanks and the Interior already lean heavily on government-funded institutions like the military and the University of Alaska for economic stability. Recent state and federal cost-cutting has shown the danger in depending too much on public money, and in both cases the mentality of looking for savings and trying to cut oversized budgets doesn’t augur well for communities like ours in which they are the top employers and economic drivers. We shouldn’t see the economic benefits of the potential F-35 placement as an excuse to ease back on efforts to diversify our economy so that our community can better withstand state and federal budget crunches. We also shouldn’t let the fact that F-35s are very likely headed our way cloud our judgment in assessing the aircraft itself. The F-35 has a well-publicized history of setbacks on its way to production, and costs per aircraft have increased significantly over the past seven years as work on the plane has progressed. We hope that these issues can be resolved, as it would be unacceptable to put our fighting men and women into an aircraft that doesn’t give them the best tools and capabilities to defend the nation. The Air Force’s decision to advance Eielson as the clear favorite to house F-35s is a testament to the work done at all levels of our community and state and also to that done by those in the Department of Defense who saw the strategic advantages in location and training offered by Interior Alaska. We’ll be eagerly awaiting a final decision in November of next year, and — assuming a positive outcome at that juncture — the planes’ arrival in 2019. But we won’t forget that work must continue elsewhere to build the Interior community that we deserve, as do as the Air Force pilots, families and other service members who we hope will be our neighbors. — Fairbanks Daily News-Miner, Aug. 10

The Ferguson melodrama

Even if the police in Ferguson, Missouri, are the brutal occupying force alleged by the protestors there, what do local shop owners have to do with it? In the wake of the police shooting of 18-year-old Michael Brown in disputed circumstances last week, rioters burned down a convenience store and looted sporting goods and auto supply stores, among other businesses. This completely unjustifiable lawlessness is waved off by the Left as, in the typical cliche, the boiling over of “rage.” We are supposed to believe that the rioters were so deeply hurt by the Brown shooting that they felt compelled to go steal and destroy innocent people’s property, and judging by video of the looting, apparently have a grand time doing it. The Brown family, to its credit, appealed for calm, but the unrest has continued in Ferguson, with nightly confrontations between police and protestors. The majorityblack suburb of St. Louis is becoming the nation’s latest hyper-racialized melodrama. President Barack Obama has weighed in twice already, and the usual commentators and activists are already making Ferguson a byword for official racism. We don’t know what happened in the prelude to the fatal shooting of Michael Brown. His friend says the teenager was shot by an officer in cold blood after a dispute with the cops over walking in the middle of the street. The police say there was a struggle in the police squad car and an attempt to take the officer’s gun. There is a tried-and-true method of resolving such disputes — a full and fair investigation, and a prosecution and trial if the facts warrant. This is a process that takes time and care, but the Left and the media are working themselves up for a good old-fashioned rush to judgment. The Ferguson police have done themselves no favors in what is now, inevitably, a no-holds-barred public-relations war. In response to protests, highly militarized teams have been deployed with equipment better suited to fighting ISIS than controlling potentially unruly crowds. There is a long-running trend, ably documented and critiqued by Radley Balko of The Washington Post, of local police forces acquir-

stop such acts. Once protestors are throwing projectiles, cops aren’t going to look or act like the friendly neighborhood officers out of Norman Rockwell paintings. Even if they aren’t tricked out in military gear, riot police never appear cute and cuddly. Would the critics of law enforcement in Ferguson really be happier if the cops were controlling crowds with horses and batons? We’re told that the military-style of the cops is “provoking” the protestors. But these sorts of flare-ups over controversial shootings by police have been a part of American life for a very long time. They happened long before any police department thought to buy military equipment, and would happen even if police were deployed on Segways and carried cap-guns for protection. The formula for calm in Ferguson is very simple: Let justice take its course. Too many people are already vested in not letting that happen.

Campaigning in Alaska has a distinct feel By BECKY BOHRER and NICHOLAS RICCARDI Associated Press

EAGLE RIVER — Wearing a fleece vest with his name and the logo of the northwestern city of Nome, Lt. Gov Mead Treadwell walked through this Anchorage suburb on a recent night, demonstrating how Alaska’s unique political culture makes the outcome of Tuesday’s GOP Senate primary anybody’s guess. In this remote and lightly-populated state, where residents refer to the Lower 48 as “outside,” personal connections and loyalty to Alaska matter. Treadwell and tea party favorite Joe Miller are counting on the personal, Alaska touch to level the playing field against front-runner Dan Sullivan. The former state attorney general, a relative newcomer in state politics, is backed by national GOP powerbrokers like Karl Rove and has raised $4.2 million, nearly four times as much as either rival. As he reminds virtually every voter he’s met, Treadwell has lived in Alaska for 40 years. Rather than just relying on votertargeting data, he knocked on doors picked by a 21-year-old intern who had gone to the local high school and knew most of the families in the subdivision. Treadwell didn’t even need to make his pitch when attorney Dan Collins opened his door. “I guess you’ve got to work hard when you’re fighting the outsiders,” Collins, an attorney, told Treadwell, pledging his vote before the lieutenant governor headed on to the next house. Sullivan is countering Treadwell and Miller’s homespun approach with television ads that have run for months and a sophisticated get-out-the-vote operation that includes statewide field offices, a robust roster of paid staff with national political experience and his own cadre of local volunteers. The contrast in styles will be tested Tuesday in the state’s primary, with the winner expected to face Democratic Sen.

to support him if he ran for another office, said Peter Christensen, a longtime friend who volunteers as his campaign manager. Andrew Halcro, a former Republican state lawmaker, said the personal approach to elections is endearing to a lot of people. “But endearing doesn’t win you elections,” Halcro said. “Votes do.” In a nondescript office building where the Sullivan campaign has one of its two Anchorage offices, campaign officials aren’t relying on honks and waves to measure their success at capturing those votes. The office is filled with the murmur of volunteers phoning likely primary voters culled from a computerized database. The campaign says it has made more than 150,000 calls and knocked on 20,000 doors. Notes scrawled on a whiteboard remind volunteers that “a smile can be heard” and to direct undecided voters to Sullivan’s website. Sullivan has traveled the state widely, too; he planned to spend the waning days before the primary driving to communities in a recreational vehicle. At a youth center in Juneau last week, Sullivan told a crowd of about 100 supporters, “In terms of Republicans, we are the ones with the grassroots, with the volunteers, with the offices open in Fairbanks, in Wasilla, in Kenai.” Rebecca Kasten, a retired elementary school teacher, is one of Sullivan’s campaign volunteers. She was drawn to Sullivan by his service — he is a lieutenant colonel in the Marine Reserves — and his experience in Washington, where he worked in the State Department during President George W. Bush’s administration. But there’s another big reason that Sullivan is her choice come Tuesday. “It might come down to who can beat Mark Begich,” she said.

Mark Begich in November. Begich faces no serious primary challenger. Miller, a Fairbanks attorney, defied the polls and pundits and bested incumbent Sen. Lisa Murkowski in the 2010 GOP primary, but Murkowksi ultimately triumphed in the general election through a write-in campaign. This time, Miller is again running a threadbare operation, with just four paid staff. But his supporters are a constant, rambunctious presence waving signs on street corners across the state, and he frequently joins them. “Joe’s going to win with the enthusiasm on the ground,” said Tim Zello, a Virginia minister who met Miller on a 2012 cruise, baptized Miller’s children in the Jordan River in Israel then moved his family to Alaska to volunteer for Miller’s campaign. “That’s what the media outside here doesn’t understand. They’re going to be shocked like in 2010.” On Friday, former Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin endorsed Miller, as she did in 2010. In Eagle River, the first voter Treadwell encountered after Collins was a man he had once met at an event in the town of Cordova. Treadwell later recognized an energy worker as a former seatmate on an airline flight. He happened on one family loading their truck with fishing gear on their way to a famed salmon run south of Anchorage. Another voter pulled up in boots and camouflage, about to go caribou hunting. After leaving the doorstep of one voter who had been torn between him and Sullivan, but eventually pledged his vote, Treadwell said: “If only we can do that 50,000 times.” Treadwell is a protege of the late Gov. Wally Hickel. Last week he rolled out an endorsement from a four-time winner of the Iditarod dogsled race. And Treadwell Bohrer reported from Anchorage and is hoping to hold people to their promises Juneau.

ing surplus military equipment wholly inappropriate for domestic police work. The Ferguson police also have been ham-fisted and highhanded in dealing with the press, appearing in one video Rich Lowry to deliberately teargas an Al Jazeera camera crew, and in another instance, arresting and briefly detaining two reporters for the offense of not leaving a McDonald’s quickly enough. All that said, there would be no routine confrontations between cops and protestors if the protestors weren’t inviting them. Ferguson officials have, reasonably enough, urged people to protest during the day, and daylight demonstrations have been peaceful. It is at night, the St. Louis Post-Dispatch notes, that protests take on their edge of “defiance and lawlessness.” No one has a First Amendment right to block streets and throw things at cops, or the right to complain if the cops move to

Fort Wainwright on list for potential downsizing FAIRBANKS — The U.S. Army has proposed cutting about 5,800 soldiers and civilian positions from Fort Wainwright as one of many options it is exploring for possible force reductions. The Daily News-Miner says final decisions haven’t been made on where the reductions will be, but such a cut would reduce the workforce at Fort Wainwright to 1,600. It could also potentially hurt the Fairbanks economy, where about 23 percent of the population is military or dependent on the military. The Army is taking public comment through Aug. 25 on the impacts of possible force reductions over the 2015-2020 timeframe. Civic leaders in Fairbanks are encouraging residents to write the Army about the proposal and to show up in large numbers at an Army listening session to be held sometime this winter. – The Associated Press

Camps take cystic fibrosis patients surfing for treatment By KRYSTA FAURIA Associated Press

SAN CLEMENTE, Calif. — For three of Rob and Paulette Montelone’s five kids, spending the summer surfing is more than just a fun activity. It could also extend their lives. The Montelone siblings are part of a growing number of people with cystic fibrosis who are taking advantage of the health benefits that come with surfing. Since researchers realized that the salt water in the ocean helps clear out the thick mucus that builds up in patients’ lungs, organizations have started around the world that teach those with the disease how to “hang 10.’ “We have found the silver lining to it all and that has been through surfing,” Paulette Montelone said on a recent summer day while her five children were out in the water at San Onofre State Beach in Southern California. “It’s helping them breathe better ... but it’s also helping us, as a family, enjoy something together.” The average lifespan for someone with cystic fibrosis is about 40, but many patients don’t make it past their teens. The genetic condition, which

must be inherited from both parents, affects 70,000 people worldwide. There is no known cure, but about a decade ago, doctors in Australia noticed that patients who surfed seemed to breathe easier. Subsequent studies resulted in new saline treatments for patients in 2006 based on the salt water discovery. “They saw a big difference in a lot of things: in pulmonary function, in need for hospitalization, in how well they felt,” said Dr. Bruce Nickerson, a pulmonary specialist at the Children’s Hospital of Orange County. The discovery also led to the development of organizations like the Mauli Ola Foundation, which means “breath of life” in Hawaiian. The organization pairs patients with professional surfers, including Kelly Slater and Sunny Garcia. The entire Montelone clan, who said they have no family history of the disease, found Mauli Ola a year after three of the kids were diagnosed. They learned to surf — a natural treatment that helps lubricate the patients’ airways. “They’re spitting up their mucous. I mean I’m out there going, ‘hey cough it up man. No shame,’” said Josh Baxter,

a world champion surfer who volunteers with Mauli Ola and regularly surfs with the Montelones. Known as the “Brady bunch” of the cystic fibrosis world, the Montelones have a 12-year-old son named Michael and two sets of twins — Grace and Gavin, 8, and Brooke and Brian, 10. In 2008, Gavin tested positive for the disease after being taken to a specialist for persistent sinus problems. After Gavin’s diagnosis, the Montelones had all of their children tested and learned that Brooke and Michael also had it. “The people who told us were so serious about it. They talked about children that pass away and the seriousness and it was a huge, frightening kick in the gut,” Paulette Montelone said. “Our life from that moment forward would never really be the same.” Between Michael, Brooke and Gavin — or as the family calls them, “the CF-ers” — the family visits the doctor at least once a month with appointments that last up to six hours. In order to be able to do all of their treatments and still get to school on time, the kids wake up just after 5 a.m. every day. During their one of their daily treatments, the kids wear a

vibrating vest that shakes them to break up the mucus in their lungs while inhaling hypertonic saline. The family treks from their inland Yorba Linda, California home to the beach at least once a week every summer, often camping at San Onofre State Beach for days at a time. They do their treatments on the beach in between surfing sessions. The trio teased each other as they sat in the sand and breathed in their treatments

through masks strapped to their faces while waves crashed a few feet away. Gavin wore a T-shirt with the words “Breathe Life” emblazoned across it, a phrase the Montelones refer to as their family motto. As the oldest of his siblings, Michael seems to be the most aware of the sobering implications of cystic fibrosis. Every winter, results from his lung function tests go down by about 5 percent, a cycli-

cal decrease that is a constant and scary reminder of what lies ahead. But every summer, when he gets back in the water, the numbers bounce back, giving his parents a sliver of hope. “I still fear that, like, I’m gonna die or my brother and sister might,” Michael said. “I know that could happen but I try and put it in the back of my head so that I can keep moving through all the days.” The Montelones say that’s why they have been so thankful for surfing — not only because of the health benefits for their children, but also because of the time it gives them together as a family. As 8-year-old Gavin laughed with his parents while struggling to squeeze into his wetsuit, he seemed like a normal kid, not someone who had been hospitalized two weeks before. His twin sister, Grace watched the happy moment and grinned. “The treatment isn’t what bugs me. It’s how I hear stories of how kids die from CF at a young age,” she said. “It makes me feel scared about my brothers and sisters — but when I go surfing, I forget about all of that,” she said.

More charges planned against Amish kidnapped suspects CANTON, N.Y. (AP) — More charges are expected soon against a northern New York couple accused of kidnapping two young Amish sisters and sexually abusing them, a prosecutor said Sunday. Computer hard drives and other potential evidence are still being collected Sunday from the home of Stephen Howells Jr. and Nicole Vaisey, said Mary Rain, district attorney for St. Lawrence County.

The pair was arrested Friday and charged with kidnapping with the intent to physically or sexually abuse the 7-year-old and 12-year-old sisters. Authorities say the couple prowled for easy targets and sexually abused the girls before letting them go after about 24 hours. Howells, 39, and Vaisey, 25, are being held without bail and have a preliminary court appearance scheduled for Thursday.

“I 100 percent expect more charges,” Rain told The Associated Press in a telephone interview. She said the new charges, which she would not detail, could come after she meets with police investigators Monday or at the hearing Thursday. It’s also possible prosecutors would have to wait for results from forensic tests. The sisters were abducted Wednesday from a farm stand in front of the family’s home in

Oswegatchie, near the Canadian border. They were set free by their captors about 24 hours later and turned up safe at the door of a house 15 miles from where they were taken. There was no answer Sunday at the St. Lawrence County Conflict Defender’s Office, which is representing Howells. Vaisey’s lawyer, Bradford Riendeau told The New York Times that she was in an abu-

sive and submissive relationship with Howells. He said she made a “voluntary statement” to investigators after her arrest and was obtaining an order of protection against him. “She appears to have been the slave and he was the master,” Riendeau told the newspaper. Rain said Vaisey is just as culpable as Howells. St. Lawrence County Sheriff Kevin Wells said the girls were able to provide details to

investigators about their time in captivity. The Associated Press generally does not identify victims of sexual abuse and is not naming the girls.

Federal autopsy ordered in Missouri teen’s death By NIGEL DUARA Associated Press

FERGUSON, Mo. — Attorney General Eric Holder on Sunday ordered a federal medical examiner to perform another autopsy on a black Missouri teenager whose fatal shooting by a white police officer has spurred a week of rancorous and sometimes-violent protests in suburban St. Louis. The “extraordinary circumstances” surrounding the death of 18-year-old Michael Brown and a request by Brown’s family members prompted the order, Department of Justice spokesman Brian Fallon said in a statement. “This independent examination will take place as soon as possible,” Fallon said. “Even after it is complete, Justice Department officials still plan to take the state-performed autopsy into account in the course of their investigation.” The Justice Department already had deepened its civil rights investigation into the shooting. Officials said a day earlier that 40 FBI agents were going door-to-door gathering information in the Fer-

guson, Missouri, neighborhood where Brown, who was unarmed, was shot to death Aug. 9 in the street. David Weinstein, a former federal prosecutor who supervised the criminal civil rights section of Miami’s U.S. Attorney’s office, said a federally conducted autopsy “more closely focused on entry point of projectiles, defensive wounds and bruises” might help that investigation, and that the move is “not that unusual.” He also said federal authorities also want to calm any public fears that no action will be taken on the case. President Barack Obama, who has been getting regular updates on the situation in Ferguson while on vacation, was to be briefed by Holder upon returning Monday to the White House. The Justice Department’s announcement followed the first night of a state-imposed curfew in Ferguson, which ended with tear gas and seven arrests after police dressed in riot gear used armored vehicles to disperse defiant protesters. Missouri State Highway Patrol Capt. Ron Johnson said

protesters were not the reason for the escalated police reaction early Sunday after the midnight curfew took effect. He cited a report of people who had broken into a barbecue restaurant and taken to the roof, and a man who flashed a handgun in the street as armored vehicles approached the crowd of protesters. At a Sunday afternoon rally, Johnson said he had met members of Brown’s family and the experience “brought tears to my eyes and shame to my heart.” “When this is over,” he told the crowd, “I’m going to go in my son’s room. My black son, who wears his pants sagging, who wears his hat cocked to the side, got tattoos on his arms, but that’s my baby.” Johnson added: “We all need to thank the Browns for Michael. Because Michael’s going to make it better for our sons to be better black men.” The Rev. Al Sharpton told the rally Brown’s death was a “defining moment for this country.” Sharpton said he wants Congress to stop programs that provide military-style weaponry to police departments.

‘We all need to thank the Browns for Michael. Because Michael’s going to make it better for our sons to be better black men.’ — Capt. Ron Johnson, Missouri State Highway Patrol He said he expects police to “smear” the slain teenager, his family and his attorneys. He also condemned the recent spate of violence and looting in Ferguson. As the sun began to set Sunday, the protests had a partylike atmosphere, with crowds lining the street in front of buildings that had been looted. Some people were barbequing outside the burned-out QuikTrip convenience store that was destroyed earlier in the week. The protests have been going on since Brown’s death heightened racial tensions between the predominantly black community and mostly white Ferguson Police Department, leading to several run-ins between police and protesters and prompting

Trial of Texas father raises legal issues JUAN A. LOZANO Associated Press

ANGLETON, Texas — David Barajas denies killing a drunk driver in a fit of rage after his two sons were fatally struck in 2012 on a rural road in Southeast Texas. His defense attorney says Barajas is a good man, a grieving father and not a murderer. At the same time, his defense hasn’t publicly suggested who else might be responsible for Jose Banda’s shooting death. Barajas’ trial is set to begin Monday in a case with many complexities: No weapon was recovered, no witnesses identified him as the shooter and many in Barajas’ community have strongly sympathized with him, with some saying they might have taken the law into their own hands if faced with a similar situation. Legal experts acknowledge prosecutors could face a greater challenge than simply proving who committed the shooting, similar to another Texas case from 2012 in which a grand jury declined to indict a father who killed a man who molested his child. “It’s not the right way to do it, but jurors a lot of times make judgments based on moral responsibility, not legal responsibility,” said Joel Androphy, a Houston defense attorney who isn’t connected to the case. The trial will focus on prosecutors’ allegations that Barajas shot 20-year-old Banda in the head in December 2012 near Alvin, about 30 miles southeast of Houston. Minutes earlier, Banda’s car struck Barajas’ sons as they pushed the family’s broken-down truck down a dark, narrow road just 50 yards from their home. Twelve-year-old David Jr. died at the scene; 11-year-old Caleb died at a hospital. If convicted of murder, Barajas faces up to life in prison. Many in the community have rallied around the 32-year-old father, including setting up a Facebook page called “Free David Barajas,” which details fundraising events and where individuals have expressed their support. But Banda’s family says their loved one’s fate should have been decided by the justice system and no one else. “What (Barajas) did wasn’t right,” said Felicia Leija, 22, Banda’s common-law wife. The couple has a 2-year-old daughter, Alisa, who was born a few months before the crash. “For other people to say they would have done the same thing ... you don’t know what you would have done.” Barajas’ attorney, Sam Cammack, says claims that his client took the law into his own hands are untrue, noting that Barajas didn’t even own a gun. Brazoria County District Attorney Jeri Yenne declined to comment. Neighbors said they heard

gunshots minutes after the crash, and authorities allege Barajas went home, retrieved a gun and went back to the crash site, where he shot Banda in the head. Toxicology tests later determined Banda had been driving while intoxicated. But Brazoria County sheriff’s investigator Dominick Sanders said that in the moments after the crash, there had been no way to know it was alcohol related. Witnesses have identified Barajas as the person who approached the vehicle before the shooting, Sanders said. And other witnesses said there was a man opening fire but none could identify Barajas

as that person. Investigators never found the weapon, and gunshot residue tests done on Barajas came back negative. A search of Barajas’ home found ammunition consistent with the bullet that killed Banda, but Sanders said the missing weapon could still make “a big difference in the case.” So could the perceived moral circumstances, which legal experts agree may influence jurors. In June 2012, a grand jury in Shiner decided not to charge a father who fatally beat up a man who was found molesting his 5-yearold daughter behind a barn. In that case, the father called 911 afterward and urged paramed-

ics to rush to the scene, shouting, “Come on! This guy is going to die on me!” From a strictly legal perspective, experts say the Barajas case will be difficult to prosecute given the lack of hard evidence. “The prosecutor is starting from behind the eight ball,” Houston criminal defense attorney Grant Scheiner said. Cammack would not speculate on who may have shot Banda. “Mr. Banda lost his life out there at the scene that night, somehow,” he said. “That is not a good thing. But to suggest Mr. Barajas has anything to do with it is a far stretch of the imagination.”

Missouri’s governor to put the state highway patrol in charge of security. Ferguson Police waited six days to publicly reveal the name of the officer and documents alleging Brown robbed a convenience store before he was killed. Police Chief Thomas Jackson said the officer did not know Brown was a suspect when he encountered him walking in the street with a friend. Gov. Jay Nixon, who imposed the curfew after declaring a state of emergency, said Sunday on ABC’s “This Week” that he was not aware the police were going to release surveillance video from the store where Brown is alleged to have stolen a $49 box of cigars. “It’s appeared to cast as-

persions on a young man that was gunned down in the street. It made emotions raw,” Nixon said. Police have said little about the encounter between Brown and the officer, except to say that it involved a scuffle in which the officer was injured and Brown was shot. Witnesses say the teenager had his hands in the air as the officer fired multiple rounds. “When you’re exhausted, when you’re out of resources, when you’re out of ammunition, you surrender,” Brown’s uncle, pastor Charles Ewing, told worshippers during a Sunday sermon at Jennings Mason Temple in Ferguson. “He surrendered, and yet he died.” The officer who shot Brown was identified as Darren Wilson, a six-year police veteran who had no previous complaints against him. Wilson has been on paid administrative leave since the shooting and the department has refused to say anything about his whereabouts. Associated Press reporters have been unable to contact him at any addresses or phone numbers listed under that name in the St. Louis area.

Ebola fears rise as clinic is looted By JONATHAN PAYE-LAYLEH Associated Press

MONROVIA, Liberia — Liberian officials fear Ebola could soon spread through the capital’s largest slum after residents raided a quarantine center for suspected patients and took items including bloody sheets and mattresses. The violence in the West Point slum occurred late Saturday and was led by residents angry that patients were brought to the holding center from other parts of Monrovia, Tolbert Nyenswah, assistant health minister, said Sunday. Up to 30 patients were staying at the center and many of them fled at the time of the raid, said Nyenswah. Once they are located they will be transferred to the Ebola center at Monrovia’s largest hospital, he said. West Point residents went on a “looting spree,” stealing items from the clinic that were likely infected, said a senior police official, who insisted on anonymity because he was not authorized to brief the press. The residents took medical equipment and mattresses and sheets that had bloodstains, he said. Ebola is spread through bodily fluids including blood, vomit, feces and sweat. “All between the houses you

could see people fleeing with items looted from the patients,” the official said, adding that he now feared “the whole of West Point will be infected.” Some of the looted items were visibly stained with blood, vomit and excrement, said Richard Kieh, who lives in the area. The incident creates a new challenge for Liberian health officials who were already struggling to contain the outbreak. Liberian police restored order to the West Point neighborhood Sunday. Sitting on land between the Montserrado River and the Atlantic Ocean, West Point is home to at least 50,000 people, according to a 2012 survey. Distrust of government runs high in West Point, with rumors regularly circulating that the government plans to clear the slum out entirely. Though there had been talk of putting West Point under quarantine should Ebola break out there, assistant health minister Nyenswah said Sunday no such step has been taken. “West Point is not yet quarantined as being reported,” he said. Ebola has killed 1,145 people in West Africa, including 413 in Liberia, according to the World Health Organization.

Other countries across Africa are grappling to prevent Ebola’s spread with travel restrictions, suspensions of airline flights, public health messages and quarantines. Nigeria appears to be making progress in containing the disease. The country has 12 confirmed cases of Ebola, all of which stem from direct contact with the Liberian-American man who flew to Nigeria late last month while ill. He infected several health workers before dying. Since then three others have died in Nigeria from Ebola, according to figures released over the weekend. One Nigerian doctor has survived the disease and was sent home Saturday night and five others confirmed with Ebola have almost fully recovered, said the Health Minister Onyebuchi Chukwu in a statement Saturday night. The most important part of containing the disease is to track all those who had contact with Ebola patients and to closely monitor them in order to quarantine if they show any symptoms. Nigeria had 242 people under surveillance but now 61 have been cleared and released, after completing the 21-day period without showing any signs of Ebola, said the

health ministry. In East Africa, Kenya will bar passengers traveling from the three West African countries badly hit by the Ebola outbreak. The suspension is effective midnight Tuesday for all ports of entry for people traveling from or through Sierra Leone, Guinea and Liberia, said Kenya’s Health Ministry. Nigeria was not included in the ban, which also allows entry to health professionals and Kenyans returning from those countries. Following the government’s announcement Saturday, Kenya Airways said it would suspend flights to Liberia and Sierra Leone. Kenya Airways, a major transport provider in Africa flies more than 70 flights a week to West Africa. Several airlines have already suspended flights to Sierra Leone, Guinea and Liberia, including British Airways, Emirates Airlines, Arik Air and ASKY Airlines. Officials in Cameroon, which borders Nigeria, announced Friday it would suspend all flights from all four Ebola-affected countries. Korean Air announced on Thursday it would temporarily halt its service to Kenya despite the fact there are no cases of Ebola in the country.

Graffiti in Lebanon tag a nation’s woes By SAM KIMBALL Associated Press

BEIRUT — In a red-lit bar in Beirut, Nasser Shorbaji and Marwan Alameh try not to knock the microphones over while laughing during the broadcast of their weekly radio show. Moments later, they turn more somber as they introduce a segment on Palestinian hip hop, discussing the most re-

cent outbreak of war on Gaza. Heads nod in the packed bar to the rhymes of Sati, a Palestinian rapper. The duo are among a host of Lebanese graffiti artists and rappers trying to re-engage disaffected youth in a debate about the country’s latest wave of political turmoil and the woes of the greater Middle East. “People don’t want to be preached to. So we’re just doing a fun thing in order to put

out serious issues,” Alameh said. One example is Shorbaji’s latest music video to his song “O.P.P,” which takes its title from the 1991 hit by U.S. hip hop group Naughty By Nature. Shorbaji’s version focuses on a suicide bomber working as a bank clerk who thinks through whether or not to carry out an attack on his workplace. Another is rapper and graffiti artist Omar Kabbani, 31, who

runs Ashekman, a rap, graffiti and urban clothing outfit with his brother Mohamed. “We consider ourselves to be the eight o’clock news when we go out to do graffiti,” Kabbani said. “They say I was born with a microphone and my twin brother with a spray can.” While Kabbani is wary of calling Ashekman’s work political, the group’s music and street art does not avoid Lebanese society’s many conflicts.

Around the World Kurdish forces retake parts of dam from Islamic extremists IRBIL, Iraq — Aided by U.S. and Iraqi airstrikes, Kurdish forces Sunday wrested back part of Iraq’s largest dam from Islamic militants who had captured it less than two weeks ago, security officials said. The U.S. began targeting fighters from the Islamic State with airstrikes Aug. 8, allowing Kurdish forces to fend off an advance on their regional capital of Irbil and to help tens of thousands of members of religious minorities escape the extremists’ onslaught. Recapturing the entire Mosul Dam and the territory surrounding its reservoir would be a significant victory against the Islamic State group, which has seized swaths of northern and western Iraq and northeastern Syria. The dam on the Tigris supplies electricity and water to a large part of the country. The Kurdish forces, known as peshmerga, launched the operation early Sunday to retake the Mosul Dam, said Gen. Tawfik Desty, a Kurdish commander, after a day of U.S. and Iraqi airstrikes pushed back Islamic State fighters. A spokesman for the peshmerga said the clashes were moving eastward.

As Gaza cease-fire talks wind down, divisions emerge among Palestinians CAIRO — The Palestinians appeared divided Sunday as the clock was winding down on the latest Gaza cease-fire, with officials saying Hamas was still opposed to a compromise Egyptian proposal that would ease the closure of the territory, while other factions, including delegates representing President Mahmoud Abbas, were inclined to accept. Hamas officials said they were holding out in hopes of getting more concessions in the Egyptian-mediated talks. With a temporary truce set to expire late Monday, a range of outcomes remained possible, including a return to fighting that has brought great devastation to Gaza, an unofficial understanding that falls short of a formal negotiated deal or yet another extension in negotiations. The negotiations are aimed at ending the latest war between Israel and Hamas-led militants in Gaza. Nearly 2,000 Palestinians have been killed — mostly civilians — and more than 10,000 people have been wounded since the war began July 8, according to United Nations figures. In Israel, 67 people have been killed, all but three of them soldiers. The indirect talks have been going on, through Egyptian mediators, since early last week. As Palestinian and Israeli negotiators returned to Cairo on Sunday following a weekend of consultations across the Middle East, the gaps remained wide. The current five-day cease-fire is due to end Monday night at midnight (2100 GMT). — The Associated Press

Ukraine says troops entered rebel-held city By PETER LEONARD Associated Press

KIEV, Ukraine — Army troops have penetrated deep inside a rebel-controlled city in eastern Ukraine in what could prove a breakthrough development in the four-month-long conflict, the Ukrainian government said Sunday. However, the military acknowledged that another one of its fighter planes was shot down by the separatists, who have been bullish about their ability to continue the battle and have bragged about receiving support from Russia. An Associated Press reporter spotted a column of several dozen heavy vehicles, including tanks and at least one rocket launcher, rolling through rebel-held territory on Sunday. Talks in Berlin between the foreign ministers of Russia, Ukraine, Germany and France aimed at finding a political solution to the conflict ended without any substantial result. Ukraine’s national security council said government forces captured a district police station in Luhansk on Saturday after bitter clashes in the Velika Vergunka neighborhood. Weeks of fighting have taken their toll on Luhansk, which city authorities say has reached the verge of a humanitarian catastrophe. The siege mounted by government forces has ground delivery of basic provisions to a halt and cut off power and running water. Although rebel forces have regularly yielded territory in recent weeks, they have continued to show formidable fighting capabilities. Ukrainian military spokes-

man Oleksiy Dmitrashkovsky said Sunday that the separatists shot down a Ukrainian fighter plane over the Luhansk region after it launched an attack on rebels. The pilot ejected and was taken to a secure place, he said. Another military spokesman, Andriy Lysenko, later said that the status of the pilot was still being clarified. The column of armored vehicles was spotted southeast of Luhansk outside a town very close to the Russian border and was heading west, deeper into rebel-held territory. It was unclear whether the column had come from Russia. Among the armored vehicles was a Strela-10, a short-range surface-toair missile system capable of hitting targets up to 3,500 meters (11,500 feet.) The area is just across the border from where a large Russian aid convoy is poised to cross with supplies intended for Luhansk and other afflicted zones. Part of the aid convoy headed to the frontier crossing on Sunday, but the 16 white trucks then stopped. The convoy of nearly 270 vehicles has been marooned for days in a town near the border amid objections from Ukraine, which initially complained that the mission was not authorized by the International Committee for the Red Cross. The Red Cross, which would have responsibility for distributing the aid, on Saturday said the main holdup was a lack of security guarantees from all sides in the conflict. A large X-ray machine was brought to the Russian crossing point in the afternoon, and Paul Picard, the head of a border-

monitoring mission from the Organization for Security and Cooperation in Europe, said it would be used to inspect the cargo. The fate of the Russian aid convoy was one of the topics discussed by the foreign ministers of Ukraine, Russia, Germany and France who met in Berlin late Sunday. German Foreign Minister Frank-Walter-Steinmeier said after the five-hour meeting that “frank words” had been exchanged and he believed there had been progress “on some issues,” without elaborating. Before the talks he had expressed hope that the four countries’ top diplomats might find a way to revive the political process aimed at brokering a lasting cease-fire and credible controls at Ukraine’s eastern border with Russia. Fighting, including frequent shelling, is also affecting Donetsk, Ukraine’s main rebelheld city. Ten civilians have been killed and eight wounded in the past 24 hours, city authorities reported Sunday. The leader of the self-proclaimed separatist government in the Donetsk region, Alexander Zakharchenko, has boasted that his forces have been bolstered by 1,200 fighters who underwent training in Russia and were brought in at a “crucial moment.” In a video of his

Elderly ex-sex slaves want solace, help from pope By JUNG-YOON CHOI Associated Press

SEOUL, South Korea (AP) — Lee Yong-soo hopes a meeting Monday with Pope Francis will provide some solace for the pain that still feels fresh more than seven decades after Japanese soldiers forced her into prostitution during World War II. Lee, 86, and a group of other elderly former “comfort women” will sit in the front row during the last Mass of the pope’s five-day trip to South Korea. Francis cannot solve a long-running grievance that has become a major hurdle to better ties between neighbors and U.S. allies Japan and South Korea, but the women are looking for greater global attention as they push Japan for a new apology and compensation. They also want a chance to share with the pope their feelings on the brutality they suffered as girls. “If we do get a chance to speak with him, I want to cling to him in tears and ask him to help us resolve our pain,” Lee, a devout Catholic who was 15 when forced into sexual slavery, said by telephone. “I want to ask him to help us end this problem in a

peaceful way.” Time is running out. Only 55 of the 238 women registered as official victims of sexual slavery survive, according to Seoul’s Ministry of Gender Equality and Family website. Their average age is 88. Two have died this year. Lee and other victims regularly speak to the media about their grievances against Japan, and some of the women give public testimony in Japan and the United States and take part in protests. A weekly demonstration in their honor has been held in Seoul for more than 20 years. The women plan to give the pope a copy of a painting of a young woman in traditional Korean clothes who represents victims who have died. The Vatican spokesman, the Rev. Federico Lombardi, suggested the pope might meet the women privately. Lombardi has previously said it’s not Francis’ place to intervene in political disputes but, instead, to offer pastoral care and comfort. Various historians estimate that 20,000 to 200,000 women from across Asia, many of them Koreans, were forced into Japan’s military brothel system during the war.

Peskov, on Sunday denied that Russia had supplied any armored vehicles to the separatists. Lysenko, the military spokesman, said the government had information that separatists had received reinforcement from Russia, but added that there is evidence rebels are complaining about not receiving some of

the equipment they have been promised. Russia has consistently denied allegations that it is supporting the rebels with equipment or training. But Ukraine’s president on Friday said that Ukraine had destroyed a large number of military vehicles that had recently crossed from Russia.

“And by the way, we are not done paying tax credits that were earned under ACES and we didn’t get increased production,” she said. French said production decline began before ACES went into effect and the activity done under ACES went toward producing more oil. Using the same investments, flow rates and oil prices, French said if SB 21 would have been in place from 2007-2013, revenues would have been billions of dollars less. Logan said the comparison is inaccurate because under SB 21, there has been an increase in investment and production and it doesn’t account for the tax credits paid under ACES. “It’s not the same,” she said.

This is really your government.”

“It’s absolutely not the same.” She said people make assumptions and cannot give accurate information when they try to answer the question of how much more oil production is required under SB 21 to earn the same revenue that would have been made under ACES. “The two bills do totally different things, and so any assumptions that you make are not fair to either one or the other,” she said. French said the industry gets a huge break and Alaska’s revenue cannot be made up in a few thousand barrels of oil. Both said there is room for compromise between the opposing views. “I don’t think anybody on the no side says that SB 21 is a perfect bill,” Logan said. “And I think there’s people on the yes side who agree that there’s things in ACES that absolutely need to be fixed.”

Because the 20 employees, who were being transported to Anchorage, weren’t from the area, it took dispatch a few minutes to figure out where the accident was and when the employees called, Nelson said. “Then once we started responding out there, of course, we’re expecting a bus on the highway wreck sort of thing,” Nelson said. “No, it was way out in the trees. … Luckily some of the people that were uninjured went up to the highway and

Contreras nabs Open Morin wins Kenai club crown By JEFF HELMINIAK Peninsula Clarion

James Contreras has played enough tournaments at Birch Ridge Golf Course to know winning there isn’t easy. The Fairbanks Golf Course pro just made it look that way Saturday and Sunday at the Kenai Peninsula Open. Contreras took home $1,750 with a two-day total of evenpar 140 to beat runners-up Nolan Rose and Rob Nelson by 11 strokes. Palmer’s Rose Pelletier, the co-owner of Fishhook Golf Course, was the low amateur and the women’s division champ, putting up a total of 155. Jesse Scott won the men’s amateur title with a 156. Contreras has been spending his summers in Alaska as a golf professional since 1996. He has played in a lot of tournaments at Birch Ridge during that time, but he only recalls winning a pro-am with a round of 66 about 10 years ago. He was spurred to victory in the Open by steady play in Saturday’s windy conditions. Contreras had a 72, while the closest to him was the 75 by Beau Forrest, the former Open amateur champ who was making his debut as a pro. “I’ve played here a lot, but I don’t ever remember it blowing like that,” Contreras said. Contreras grew up in Yuma, Arizona, where he said the wind blows a lot due to the Colorado River. While he doesn’t necessarily have the low-ball flight to play in the wind, he said he is quite comfortable in gusty conditions. “Whenever I hit a solid shot, it was going where I wanted it to,” Contreras said of his Saturday effort. Sunday, Contreras said he

knew a round of even par would likely win the tournament. He said he is comfortable out in front of a tourney, having won the Eagleglen Open four times, and it showed as he filled his card with six birdies to cruise to the win. “I was making putts, and that helps,” he said. “The greens were fast. They were the best I’ve ever seen them.” Pelletier, the reigning Alaska State Amateur and Alaska State Match Play Amateur champ, won in her first appearance at Birch Ridge. She had just a nine-hole practice round from Friday on her Birch Ridge resume before she rolled to the win by 28 strokes over Ardie Crawford. Denise Cox was the women’s net champ at 138. “I love it,” Pelletier said of Birch Ridge. “I think it’s underrated because it’s a short course. A short course can be more challenging than a long course. It’s a good risk-reward course.” Pelletier said she was told the women’s record at Birch Ridge is 68. She had her eye on that total, but the wind made it impossible on Saturday, then she couldn’t get enough putts to drop in a round of 74 on Sunday. Pelletier attended Southern Utah University, where she played golf and graduated after just three years in May 2013. She took about a year off from the game, but she’s moved back to Alaska and is dedicated to running Fishhook with her brother, Ryan, and growing the sport of golf. “Not playing golf for about a year has made me appreciate it a lot more,” she said. Pelletier liked the friendly environment at Birch Ridge See GOLF, page B-2

Gordon turns back the clock NOAH TRISTER AP Sports Writer

BROOKLYN, Mich. — It had been 13 years since Jeff Gordon’s last victory at Michigan — which came during the same season as his most recent championship on NASCAR’s top series. One of those droughts is finally over. Can the 43-year-old driver end the other as well? “Certainly things are going well — there’s no doubt about that,” Gordon said. “I’m as shocked as anybody else.” Gordon raced to his third Sprint Cup victory of the year, holding off Kevin Harvick on Sunday for his first win at Michigan International Speedway since 2001. Gordon broke the track qualifying record Friday when he took the pole at 206.558 mph. He followed that up with his third Cup victory at MIS — and took over the points lead from Hendrick Motorsports teammate Dale Earnhardt Jr. After a series of cautions, Gordon came off the final restart well and led with 16 laps remaining. He fought off a challenge from Joey Logano and maintained a comfortable margin over Harvick, winning the 400-mile race by 1.412 seconds in his No. 24 Chevrolet. “Joey, as we rolled up to some of the restarts — not that last one, but some of the other ones — as guys were starting to sort of anticipate it, he was slowing down, and when he slowed down, everybody got bottled up, and then he’d take off,” Gordon said. “That last one, I thought he had a good start, but I had a good one, too.” Harvick was second, followed by Logano, Paul Menard and Earnhardt. Gordon completed a sweep at MIS for Hendrick. Jimmie

Johnson won the June race on the two-mile oval. “I think all of our teams are running well, but this is a big, big win,” owner Rick Hendrick said. “It’s great to see Jeff so happy. He’s like a little kid again, so I think it’s going to be really, really important for the momentum he’s carrying right now into the Chase.” Logano was second to Gordon in qualifying. He led 86 laps and Gordon was in front for 68. “We can win a championship. I really feel we can do that. That’s the message I want to put out there,” Logano said. “We’ve got to find a little bit more speed to keep up with one car today — 24 car was the best, only because he was good on the long run. We weren’t as good on the long run. There were eight cautions, including a fairly early one when Danica Patrick’s car spun and Justin Allgaier crashed into her. Nine cars were caught up in that incident, including Matt Kenseth’s No. 20 Toyota. Kenseth never really recovered, finishing 38th. Brad Keselowski rubbed against the wall with about 32 laps remaining and finished eighth, remaining winless at this track in his home state. Johnson overcame some problems of his own to finish ninth, his first top10 showing in six races. Jeff Burton was 37th after replacing Tony Stewart in the No. 14 car. Stewart skipped his second straight Cup race after he struck and killed a driver at a dirt-track race in New York last weekend. Hendrick and Stewart-Haas Racing are alliance teams. Hendrick said he hasn’t talked to Stewart, but he’s been in touch with Eddie Jarvis, Stewart’s longtime business manager.

and said she hopes to return and defend her title. Kenai’s Scott, at 33, won his first golf tournament. He said the Open was his only chance this summer to taste victory, because he didn’t want to consistently be leaving his wife, Angela, with 2.5-month-old Naomi and 3-year-old Nathan to play tournament golf. Scott survived Saturday with a round of 80, which left him in second and four strokes behind leader Mike Hollingsworth. Sunday, he had a 76 while Hollingsworth had an 84. “I felt good,” he said. “It was the best I’ve played in a tournament, except on the last hole.

I’m very proud of the way I played.” Scott’s best round at Birch Ridge is a 71. With a par on the par-4 No. 18, Scott would have had a 73. He was 100 yards out on his second shot when golf did a typically golfy thing. “I was maybe thinking about getting another skin,” he said. “I got way too ahead of myself.” Scott skulled his second shot so bad he had to hit another from the same spot. He then three-putted for a triple bogey. “When I missed a 2-foot putt for double bogey — if that was the difference in the tournament — I would have been sick until next golf season,” he said. Men’s low net was won by 9-year-old Shane Sundberg. Sunday, Sundberg carded an 87 — his best round ever — to finish with a two-day net of 128.

Earl Matthis was second low net at 130. The low junior was Max Dye with a gross of 174. The major sponsors for the event are the Peninsula Radiation Oncology Center and the Alaska Men’s Run. Proceeds from the tournament go to the Central Peninsula Health Foundation Prostate Cancer Fund, which goes to education, awareness and patient assistance. Chris Morin wins Kenai’s club championship Chris Morin won his first Donald R. Morgan Club Championship at Kenai Golf Course on Sunday with a two-day total of 11-over-par 155. Morin took advantage of the calmer conditions awarded by a late Saturday tee time in taking the first-day lead with

a round of 75. After Saturday, Greg Harrington was next at 78 while Chris Murray had a round of 80. But Sunday, playing in the same conditions as everybody else, Morin claimed the club championship with a round of 80, the second-lowest round of the day. Joe Deveaux made a nice comeback from Saturday’s 97 with Sunday’s low round of 77. Harrington and Murray tied for second in gross score with totals of 163. Harrington was the low net at 145, while Aaron Cooper was second at 146, Morin was third at 147 and Deveaux was fourth at 148. Kenai Peninsula Open

Cuddyer hits for cycle, Rockies sweep Reds By The Associated Press

DENVER — Michael Cuddyer hit for the cycle, including a two-run double in Colorado’s five-run eighth inning, and the Rockies beat the Cincinnati Reds 10-5 on Sunday night to complete a doubleheader sweep. Colorado won the opener 10-9 when Drew Stubbs capped a five-run ninth inning with a three-run homer off J.J. Hoover (1-9). Cuddyer tripled in the first, homered in the fifth and singled in the seventh while becoming the seventh Rockies player to hit for the cycle and first since Carlos Gonzalez on July 31, 2010, against the Chicago Cubs. Cuddyer’s second career cycle came in his second game back after he was sidelined by a left shoulder injury. Adam Ottavino (1-4) picked up the win in relief and Carlos Contreras (01) took the loss. Rex Brothers (4-5) picked up the victory in the opener despite allowing a pair of runs in the top of the ninth.

Carlos Gomez hit his 20th homer, helping the Brewers maintain their three-game lead over St. Louis in the NL Central. They also became the first team to sweep the NL West-leading Dodgers in a series of three or more games this season.

BRAVES 4, ATHLETICS 3 ATLANTA — Justin Upton hit a tworun homer, and the Braves ended Jon Lester’s seven-game winning streak. The Braves swept the three-game series, leaving the A’s with a five-game losing streak, their longest of the season. The A’s have lost seven of eight overall and trail the Angels, who lost to Texas on Sunday, by percentage points in the AL West. Oakland’s Nate Freiman hit two homers, giving him three in the series, but Mike Minor (5-8) allowed only two other hits in seven strong innings.

Kansas City sent 11 batters to the plate and scored seven times in the second, keyed by two-run singles for Alcides Escobar and Nori Aoki. The Royals also increased their AL Central lead to 1 1/2 games over Detroit, which lost 8-1 to Seattle.

NATIONALS 6, PIRATES 5 WASHINGTON — Pinch-hitter Scott Hairston drove in Jayson Werth with a game-ending sacrifice fly, sending Washington to a three-game sweep. Werth, who had missed the last five games with a bothersome shoulder, entered as a pinch hitter in the ninth and doubled leading off the 11th against Brandon Cumpton (3-4).

ORIOLES 4, INDIANS 1 CLEVELAND — Rookie Kevin Gausman pitched six strong innings and Baltimore salvaged the series finale, beating Cleveland to avoid being swept for the first time since May.

Park defends crown By The Associated Press

PITTSFORD, N.Y. — Inbee Park successfully defended her title in the LPGA Championship, beating Brittany Lincicome on the first hole of a playoff Sunday to end the United States’ major streak at three. On the playoff hole on Monroe Golf Club’s par-4 18th, Park hit her second into the rough behind the hole. Lincicome hit her approach to the left fringe, nearly identical to her position on the final hole of regulation when she made a bogey to fall in the playoff. Lincicome chipped 6 feet past the hole and failed to convert for bogey. Park, the winner last year at Locust Hill in a playoff with Catriona Matthew, chipped to 3 feet and sank her par putt for her fifth major title and fourth in the last two seasons. WYNDHAM CHAMPIONSHIP GREENSBORO, N.C. — Camilo Villegas won the Wyndham Championship by a stroke for his first PGA Tour victory since 2010, closing with 7-under 63 at Sedgefield. He finished at 17-under 263 and earned $954,000 and 500 FedEx Cup points in the final regular-season event.

DICK’S SPORTING GOODS OPEN ENDICOTT, N.Y. — Bernhard Langer rallied to win the Dick’s Sporting Goods Open for his fifth Champions Tour victory of the year, while Kevin Sutherland followed his tour-record 59 with a 74 to tie for seventh.

B-8 Peninsula Clarion, Monday, August 18, 2014

Angry wife resents husband for hiding news of his health DEAR ABBY: I love my sister and enjoy chatting with her, but our schedules make it difficult to connect. When we do speak, her husband often interjects or starts another conversation with her, as if she isn’t on the phone. She also settles spats between her toddlers and other things her husband could manage while we’re talking. When this happens I say, Abigail Van Buren “I can tell you’re tied up. Can we talk later when things settle down?” Her reply: “We can talk now. Things are ALWAYS crazy around here.” As it stands, we speak only a few times a year, and I’d like her undivided attention. I have tried bringing this up a number of times, but she feels life doesn’t stand still for anyone. Is it too much to ask for 30 minutes, three times a year? We live several states apart, so having a face-toface isn’t an option. Any help would be appreciated, because I’m hurt. — MISSING MY SISTER IN GEORGIA DEAR MISSING YOUR SISTER: I don’t blame

you for feeling hurt, because apparently your sister isn’t interested in having the kind of contact you would like. It may be that her husband is ultra-controlling — hence the constant interruptions from him — or that her household is so disorganized she’s in the middle of a whirlwind. If you haven’t already, write her a letter and express your feelings. It’s one way of getting your thoughts across without being interrupted. I don’t think 30 minutes three times a year is a lot to ask of her. Propose setting a specific time to talk when her kids and husband aren’t around. Then cross your fingers and hope she sees the light. 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 receive a collection of Abby’s most memorable — and most frequently requested — poems and essays, send your name and mailing address, plus check or money order for $7 (U.S. funds) to: Dear Abby — Keepers Booklet, P.O. Box 447, Mount Morris, IL 61054-0447. Shipping and handling are included in the price.

Hints from Heloise

Jacqueline Bigar’s Stars A baby born today has a Sun in Leo and a Moon in Gemini. HAPPY BIRTHDAY for Monday, Aug. 18, 2014: This year you express your feelings more openly, and your increased vulnerability draws many people toward you. In a sense, your openness makes it more difficult for people not to be authentic with you. If you are single, you will be surrounded by quite a few potential admirers. You will meet someone who will knock your socks off. If you are attached, the two of you become even better friends, and you will experience a great deal of closeness. Use care with financial matters, as there could be some confusion between the two of you. GEMINI can be very chatty. 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) HHHHH Say what you feel, and you will set the stage for a dynamic interaction. Others could be in the mood to talk. If someone says something strange, ask for confirmation. Confusion’s tendrils might weave through your day. Maintain a sense of humor. Tonight: Tell it like it is. TAURUS (April 20-May 20) HHHH Be more sensitive to the possibilities that surround you on the homefront. You might be considering remodeling or changing locations. Your love of beauty is likely to emerge. Tonight: Pay bills, and look at your budget before you make any decisions. GEMINI (May 21-June 20) HHHHH You might not believe the

Rubes

reaction you get from others, but you certainly won’t be displeased. An element of confusion could run through your day. Make sure that any important agreements are signed. Tonight: If you can dream it, you can manifest it. CANCER (June 21-July 22) HHH You might feel lazy and selfindulgent. Set the stage and make plans accordingly. If you work, try to take a personal day rather than push yourself while in this indifferent mood. A call from a loved one could stir up a lot of feelings. Tonight: Go for the moment. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) HHHHHYouinstinctivelyknowwhich way to go when dealing with a friend. Your voice and facial expressions are what draw others in. Your upbeat approach allows you to have your way, perhaps more often than you might realize. Tonight: Enjoy a surprise call or event. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) HHHH Deal with someone in power directly. Your instincts guide your thoughts and actions. You could be surprised by what emerges. Listen to a different point of view more openly. A partner or loved one could surprise you with his or her actions. Tonight: With favorite people. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) HHHHYouabsolutelyknowwhatyou want. Someone else might not be as predictable as you would like. Look past the obvious, and you will understand a lot more about what needs to happen. Don’t fight an adjustment on the homefront. Tonight: Opt for a different experience.

By Leigh Rubin

Ziggy

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) HHHH You might find yourself in a competition to seize the limelight. Before you act, consider the ramifications; they could be more costly than what you are willing to deal with. You’ll get what you want, even if you don’t partake in today’s games. Tonight: Till the wee hours. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) HHHH You might want to try a different path to the same end result. Listen to a suggestion from someone who has a vested interest in the outcome of a present situation. Tension might cause a misunderstanding. Be clear in your communication. Tonight: Defer to someone else. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) HHH Your ability to organize and be effective will be tested. Know that there is a possibility of a misunderstanding. Clarify what is being said, and don’t allow someone or a situation to distract you. Tonight: Take a long walk or get in a good workout at the gym. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) HHHH Defer to someone you trust. Be aware that this person might have a bit of an attitude or seem preoccupied. As a result, he or she might not be able to give as much helpful feedback as usual. Confirm a financial agreement. Tonight: Be like a kid in a sandbox. Playtime! PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) HHHHH You could be pushing a lot harder than usual in trying to avoid a personal matter. Understand that you need to deal with this situation before you can free yourself up to enjoy your life and be more present with others. Tonight: Head home.

Toilet troubles Dear Readers: Here is this week’s Sound Off, about public restrooms: “ As the graphic artist at your hometown newspaper, I get to read your column before anyone else in town. Here’s a suggestion for your Monday Sound Off column: Why are public toilet stalls so narrow? Why do the merchants insist on putting the dispensing part of the toilet-paper dispenser below your knees, usually with a serrated edge? And why can’t the auto-flush wait until the stall door opens to flush? — Henry in San Antonio Henry, nice to hear from you, and gee, you get to read the column first! This is a “hot” topic! Many public restrooms are NOT user-friendly, but they do serve a purpose, and they are free. Who knows why the TP holder is usually situated so low? If someone can tell me why, I’d love to hear and pass along the reason. — Heloise Fast Facts Dear Readers: Household items that can be recycled into planters: * Chipped or broken mugs and bowls. * Old ice chests that leak. * A broken wheelbarrow. * Old tires spray-painted green * Metal cans, cleaned and painted. — Heloise Subdue the splatter Dear Heloise: I hate the splatter when using my handheld electric mixer. Before mixing, I punch two holes in a paper plate and slide the beaters through. I attach it to the mixer, and it keeps the mess inside. — N.M. in Texas

DEAR ABBY: When my husband is sick or needs to have surgery, he refuses to tell his family and doesn’t want me to. This puts me in a very awkward position. I’m damned if I do tell them because he will be upset with me, and damned if I don’t because his family won’t trust me, and I don’t want things that way. Invariably, when he gets home, he calls his family and tells them all about his surgery, and I’m left looking like I withheld the information, when it’s not me at all. I have asked him what if he DIES? His family will be upset not only by the tragedy, but also at me for having kept them in the dark. I’m considering leaving him over this. I don’t deserve this from him. And no, he won’t see a counselor and I won’t do it alone, so do you have any other advice than that? — IN A DIFFICULT POSITION DEAR IN A DIFFICULT POSITION: You should not be made to feel that you’re stuck in the middle. It would be nice if your husband understood that when he is sick enough to be hospitalized that YOU might need the emotional support his family could offer. But since it’s not going to happen, he should make plain to his family that HE prefers to be the bearer of this kind of news, and the reason they aren’t hearing it from you is because he wants it that way.
