Measure 1 too close to call No vote on oil tax referendum takes slight election night lead By DAN JOLING Associated Press

ANCHORAGE — Voters rejecting a referendum to repeal Alaska’s revised oil tax system were prevailing with a narrow lead in late returns Tuesday night but the outcome remained too close to call.

“We knew this would be very tight,” said former state Rep. Andrew Halcro, president of the Anchorage Chamber of Commerce, who appeared in debates urging Alaskans to vote no on Ballot Measure No. 1. Polling from both camps showed a close race and the outcome would depend on which side turned out its voters,

he said. The revised tax system was approved last year the urging of Gov. Sean Parnell. Senate Bill 21 narrowly passed the state Senate with the promise that it would attract investment for new wells and put more oil in the transAlaska pipeline. Critics called it a giveaway that

awarded tax breaks to already profitable oil companies with no guarantee they will invest in Alaska. Parnell’s measure replaced a tax system championed by Parnell’s predecessor, Sarah Palin. Known as “Alaska’s Clear and Equitable Share,” or ACES, the Palin law

In the news Magnitude 4 earthquake in Cook Inlet region ANCHORAGE (AP) — A magnitude 4 earthquake was recorded at 2:11 a.m. Tuesday in the Cook Inlet region of Alaska. The Alaska Earthquake Information Center in Fairbanks says it was centered near the Iliamna volcano, which is 34 miles southwest of the Redoubt volcano, 137 miles southwest of Anchorage and 60 miles west of Homer. There are no reports the quake was felt.

Seventh-grader Dylan Donham puts on his new sweatshirt during the first day of school at Skyview Middle School Tuesday. More than 400 students and 50 staff members were given sweatshirts thanks to donations from the community. Students at Soldotna High School also received sweatshirts to start the year. Find more images from the first day of school at www. peninsulaclarion.com.

Starting out together By DAN BALMER Peninsula Clarion

The 400 students at Skyview Middle School in Soldotna received a gift from community donors intended to ease the transition of life in a new school Tuesday morning.

Each student was given a gray sweatshirt that reads Skyview Middle School with the logo of a panther, the school mascot. Likewise, at Soldotna Prep and Soldotna High School, every student received a Soldotna Stars sweatshirt. The list of community

donors for the 500 Skyview Panthers sweatshirts and 500 Soldotna Stars sweatshirts is printed on the back. With the reconfiguration of two Soldotna high schools into one, many familiar faces are in new places. The building that housed Soldotna

Middle School has become Soldotna Prep while seventhand eighth-grades have moved to the former Skyview High School building. Skyview Middle School Principal Sarge Truesdell said with so many kids coming See SCHOOL, page A-14

ANCHORAGE — A tea party attempt to overcome a mainstream Republican appeared to be coming up short in Alaska as former state Attorney General Dan Sullivan took a primary lead in the fight to be the GOP candidate to take on U.S. Sen. Mark Begich in the fall. Sullivan entered the primary the presumed front-runner, with the backing of national GOP powerbrokers and a huge cash advantage over his rivals. Sullivan held an edge Tuesday night over tea party favorite Joe Miller, who made a late push reminiscent to his 2010 primary upset of U.S. Sen. Lisa Murkowski. Lt. Gov. Mead Treadwell, meanwhile, was in third. With 67 percent of precincts reporting, Sullivan led with 40 percent of the vote to Miller’s 32 percent. Treadwell collected 25 percent of Republican ballots. The Republicans were vying to face Begich, who won his primary easily after facing no real threat. The Alaska GOP Senate race mirrors national trends, with tea party conservatives trying to knock out mainstream Republicans. See SENATE, page A-5

Peninsula voters weigh in By KAYLEE OSOWSKI, DAN BALMER and KELLY SULLIVAN Peninsula Clarion

As central Kenai Peninsula voters took to the polls for the primary election Tuesday, many said they were driven by the interest in having a say on the result of Ballot Measure No. 1. A yes vote on the referendum would repeal Senate Bill 21, which was passed by lawmakers in 2013, replacing Alaska’s Clear and Equitable Share

or ACES oil tax structure and a no vote would let SB 21 stand. Tuesday night, the measure was too close to call. “(Measure No. 1) is really the only thing that matters today,” said Allen Thomas, who voted in Kenai. Larry Davis said while some aspects of ACES needed to be tweaked, he was voting yes because he doesn’t “like to be cheated” and writing a “blank check” to the oil companies with SB 21 is not OK.

He said he thought the issue would likely increase voter turn out. “The oil companies’ spending (on the campaign) is galvanizing people to vote against the oil companies,” he said. Susan Smalley, who was manning the poll at the Kenai Senior Center, said the workers saw a steady flow of voters through the morning. She said Photo by Kelly Sullivan/ Peninsula Clarion the warm sunny day brought voters in via motorcycles and Willie Porter takes his ballot from volunteer Dolores Wik, at the See VOTE, page A-14 Nikiski Recreation Center Tuesday in Nikiski.

Gardens at Soldotna Creek Park vandalized By KELLY SULLIVAN Peninsula Clarion

Gaping holes now take the place of 43 blossoming plants in the flower beds in Pioneer Garden and Purple Heart Memorial Garden of Soldotna Creek Park. Early Monday morning, the horticulturist for Soldotna’s

Parks and Recreation department, Donna Melvin, came to set up the park’s sprinkler system and discovered plants had been removed from the beds at the entrance of the park and near the playground. She said she isn’t sure when exactly the plants were stolen, but the theft likely occurred over the weekend.

“It’s unreal,” Melvin said. “You put so much into it, it feels kind of defeating.” The plants were pulled perfectly from the ground, “root ball and all,” she said. Recently transplanted lilies, towering purple delphinium and red poppies had been ripped from the ground, she said. Someone knew what they C

were doing, Melvin said. The majority of flowers taken were purple and pink colored, but some were orange as well, she said. “They really went shopping around,” Parks and Recreation Department Director Andrew Carmichael said. “The situation was very disheartening.” A report has been filed with

the Soldotna Police department about the theft, which totals about $1,000 in expenses, from weeding and nurturing to materials and plants, Carmichael said. Carmichael said he is unsure if there will be any replanting, or if the spots will remain open. See GARDEN, page A-14

Study: Man-made quakes weaker By SETH BORENSTEIN AP Science Writer

WASHINGTON — Manmade earthquakes, a side effect of some high-tech energy drilling, cause less shaking and in general are about 16 times weaker than natural earthquakes with the same magnitude, a new federal study found. People feeling the ground move from induced quakes — those that are not natural, but triggered by injections of wastewater deep underground— report significantly less shaking than those who experience more normal earthquakes of the same magnitude, according to a study by U.S. Geological Survey geophysicist Susan Hough. Distance matters in this shaking gap, however. For people within 6 miles of the fault, artificial and natural quakes feel pretty much the same, she said. Hough studied similar-sized man-made and natural quakes in the central and eastern United States from 2011 to 2013, comparing the reported magnitude to what people said they felt in the USGS electronic “Did You Feel It” survey. She found that while two different types of temblors may have had the same magnitude as measured by seismographs, they had distinct differences in what people said they felt. The way artificial quakes felt was equivalent on average to a natural quake that had a magnitude 0.8 smaller. So a 4.8 induced quake felt like a 4.0 quake, Hough said. The magnitude scale used by USGS and others is mathematically complex, but a drop in 0.8 magnitude translates to about 16 times less strength or energy released. Sometimes the difference is even bigger. Hough said a 5.3 August 2011 man-made quake in Trinidad, Colorado, actually felt like a 4.0 quake, which is about 90 times weaker, based on the thousands of responses in the “Did You Feel It” survey system. The study, published Monday in the Bulletin of the Seismological Society of C

‘The hazard of these earthquakes is lower than what you’d expect. It’s not that there’s no hazard, it’s just that it’s a little better than you might think.’ — Susan Hough, U.S.G.S. geophysicist America, looked at quakes in Oklahoma, Colorado, Arkansas, Texas and Ohio. It included a 5.7 quake in Prague, Oklahoma, in November 2011 that injured two people and damaged 14 houses, which Hough said felt like 5.1 magnitude natural quake. “The hazard of these earthquakes is lower than what you’d expect,” Hough said. “It’s not that there’s no hazard, it’s just that it’s a little better than you might think.” Man-made earthquakes have become a big concern recently as hydraulic fracturing, or fracking, and other drilling injects wastewater deep underground. Scientists say that sometimes triggers shifts along existing and previously unknown faults. Oklahoma has had more than 300 earthquakes of magnitude 3 or more — strong enough to feel locally but too weak to cause damage — since Jan. 1. Before 2007, Oklahoma averaged only one quake a year of that size. The artificial quakes may have less energy — only after 6 miles away — because the fault is lubricated by the injected wastewater, making it easier to slip and do so more smoothly in less of a herky-jerky motion, Hough theorized. Also these faults can be slipping with less pent-up energy than they would have if they slipped naturally years later. But induced quakes are shallow, which means the shaking has to travel less distance to

buildings nearby, said seismologist Steve Horton of the University of Memphis, who wasn’t part of the study. He

and others said Hough’s study made sense and could change how researchers look at quake intensity.

Astronauts launch tiny satellite By MARCIA DUNN AP Aerospace Writer

CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla. — Spacewalking astronauts launched a tiny Peruvian research satellite Monday, setting it loose on a mission to observe Earth. Russian Oleg Artemiev cast the 4-inch box off with his gloved right hand as the International Space Station sailed 260 miles above the cloud-flecked planet. The nanosatellite gently tumbled as it cleared the vicinity of the orbiting complex, precisely as planned. “One, two, three,” someone called out in Russian as Artemiev let go of the satellite. Cameras watched as the nanosatellite — named Chas-

qui after the Inca messengers who were fleet of foot — increased its distance and grew smaller. Artemiev’s Russian spacewalking partner, Alexander Skvortsov, tried to keep his helmet camera aimed at the satellite as it floated away. The satellite — barely 2 pounds — holds instruments to measure temperature and pressure, and cameras that will photograph Earth. It’s a technological learning experience for the National University of Engineering in Lima. A Russian cargo ship delivered the device earlier this year.

Less than a half-hour into the spacewalk, the satellite was on its way, flying freely. With that completed, Artemiev and Skvortsov set about installing fresh science experiments outside the Russian portion of the space station and retrieving old ones. “Be careful,” Russian Mission Control outside Moscow warned as the astronauts made their way to their next work site. They also collected samples from a window of the main Russian living compartment; engineers want to check for any engine residue from visiting spacecraft. The spacewalkers wrapped up their work early. Flight controllers thanked them for their five-hour effort. The two conducted a spacewalk in June, a few months after moving into the space station. Four other men live there: an-

other Russian, two Americans and one German. U.S. spacewalks, meanwhile, remain on hold. NASA hoped to resume them this month after a yearlong investigation but delayed the activity until fall to get fresh spacesuit batteries on board. The SpaceX company will deliver the batteries on a Dragon supply ship next month. Engineers are concerned about the fuses of the on-board batteries. Before the battery issue, NASA was stymied by a spacesuit problem that nearly cost an Italian astronaut his life last summer. Luca Parmitano’s helmet flooded with water from the suit’s cooling system, and he barely made it back inside. The investigation into that incident is now complete, with safety improvements made to the U.S. spacesuits.

What Others Say

Fort Wainwright on list of bases studied for cuts Almost as soon as the Interior has

dealt with each event that has the potential to threaten the placement of military service members at nearby bases, another seems to inevitably arise. Close on the heels of the welcome news that Eielson Air Force Base is at the top of the list to receive two squadrons of F-35 fighter jets, an Armywide reduction of 120,000 troops across the country has the potential to remove up to 5,800 personnel from Fort Wainwright. For local officials and advocates for a strong Interior military presence, it’s time to lace up the boots again. The planned reduction in the Army’s force strength is part of a planned reduction from a wartime peak of 570,000 soldiers to 450,000 that will remain come Fiscal Year 2017. Thirty bases are being considered for potential reductions, from Fort Bragg to Fort Wainwright and almost everywhere in between where at least a full brigade’s worth of troops are stationed. The situation could become more dire if effects of sequestration extend to FY2016 and beyond, at which point the Army will seek to reduce its strength to 420,000 soldiers by FY2019. The additional cut of 30,000 troops nationwide would be made in a round which, if history is a guide, would very likely include Fort Wainwright on the list of facilities contemplating cuts. The difference between the Army at the peak of the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan and the Army that would be in place in 2019 would be stark — a 26 percent overall reduction. The Army is seeking to make these sizable reductions in force size with as little impact on effectiveness as possible. To this end, they are seeking to cut entire brigades rather than making smaller cuts to a great number of brigades that would decrease fighting strength — as they put it, they are trying to prevent a “hollow Army,” the fighting strength of which would be far less than its numbers would suggest. That means that Fort Wainwright might see a great number of troops leave — the entire 1-25th Stryker Brigade — or be spared altogether. On the bright side, Fort Wainwright’s chances may be better than a coin flip. The installation was studied as part of a 2013 assessment tasked with making the Army’s initial reductions from 570,000 troops to 490,000, and escaped without cuts. There’s certainly no guarantee the facility would be spared again, but clearly the Army saw value in the base that they might consider when looking a second time. As to what locals looking to weigh in on the process can do, local officials and community leaders are asking residents to make statements of support, which the Army is accepting until Aug. 25. Those statements of support can address both endorsements of Fort Wainwright’s military value — factors like training space and unique environment — as well as socio-economic impacts on the community should soldiers leave. Those statements may be sent by email to usarmy.jbsa.aec.nepa@mail.mil. — Fairbanks Daily News-Miner, Aug. 17

Classic Doonesbury, 1976

Opinion

CLARION P

By GARRY TRUDEAU

This is a true story (as opposed to my usual falsehoods): A few years back, when the World Bank and International Monetary Fund would hold meetings of the planet’s finance ministers or other economic leaders, there would be angry demonstrations that sometimes turned violent. The different police agencies, local and federal, would plan well ahead and set up a heavily armed security presence. It was tailor made for TV, of course, because we all knew what great video we’d get, and I’d usually end up going live from the middle of things, from some approved camera position nearby. In newsbiz, it’s a common experience, but it still can prove treacherous for those of us covering the melee. At one of them, contrary to their public denials, the security forces fired tear gas at the advancing demonstrators, and we got video. One of the cops decided that he didn’t like the fact that we were taping, and first demanded we stop and then got pushy about it when we didn’t. He was on shaky ground; luckily, a supervisor intervened, and that was the end of it. Actually, not quite the end of it. A few minutes later, that same policeman came over and asked when it would be on TV. When I told him I was about to go live, he asked whether he and his uniformed buddies could stand off to the side and see it. Some of them quickly called their families, and then they stood just out of the shot to watch the video on our monitor while I did

my report. That kind of rough encounter is common for journalists, although the happy ending is not always the way things work out. I’m among those who believe that most cops and other first Bob Franken responders are heroes who do a brutal and thankless job. But there are too many who are anything but. They can be bullies. They viscerally hate reporters for showing them doing stuff they shouldn’t be doing. They know that when they prevent us from doing our jobs, sometimes by forceful means and arrest, they may have to back off later, but they have prevented coverage that will inform citizens about what’s happening in a newsworthy situation. That way, they won’t be held accountable. In a place like D.C., the authorities have extensive experience with large-scale confrontations. While there are abuses, they are conscious of what they should be doing and not doing. That is obviously not the case in Ferguson, Missouri. Investigators will have to sort out what caused white officer Darren Wilson to fatally shoot black 18-year-old Michael Brown, who was unarmed. What we already know is that the Ferguson police were way over their heads in dealing with angry protesters. They responded in

ways that could be charitably called insensitive. Bringing out the dogs was terrible symbolism — any fool should know that. Apparently some don’t. Another problem is that these law-enforcement officials also mobilized massive military equipment. Their heavily armored forces looked like the robotic troopers in “Star Wars.” They used their arsenal to throw tear gas and shoot rubber bullets at the crowds, while arresting participants and reporters. Their thuggery was so blatant, it caused official Washington to notice and to question whether police departments should even get the surplus battleground equipment that the Pentagon has been more than happy to provide them. As we are constantly reminded, bad-apple cops nationwide sometimes violently exceed their authority. In any case, they are not supposed to be a militia. They’re not trained for that. They’re supposed to “serve and protect” face to face, not inside tanks. Our Posse Comitatus law prevents the armed forces from doing police work. In the Capitol, an unusually bipartisan collection of leaders is promising legislation that would limit access to battlefield equipment. Speaking of limits, apparently, some police officers need better training on what theirs are. Bob Franken is a longtime broadcast journalist, including 20 years at CNN.

More Clinton-Obama differences likely to emerge By KEN THOMAS Associated Press

AP News Extra

WASHINGTON — Hillary Rodham Clinton’s split with President Barack Obama over a foreign policy “organizing principle” isn’t likely to be the last time differences emerge between the two. How she handles those breaks could be among her biggest challenges to a successful run for president in 2016. While Obama and Clinton share similar views in many areas, the former first lady’s interview with The Atlantic offered her most significant break with her onetime campaign rival. She said Obama’s “failure” to back the rebels in Syria led to the rise of Islamic State militants in Iraq. She appeared dismissive of Obama’s approach to foreign policy, saying “’Don’t do stupid stuff’ is not an organizing principle.” Clinton will likely seek some separation from Obama if she runs for president — especially if Obama’s approval ratings stay near 40 percent. But decoupling from a two-term president of your own party can be tricky. Republican Sen. John McCain was weighed down by President George W. Bush’s poor approval ratings in 2008 and Democrats’ contention that electing McCain was tantamount to a third Bush term. In 2000, many Democrats urged Vice President Al Gore to campaign more emphatically on President Bill Clinton’s economic success instead of distancing himself from the Monica Lewinsky scandal. A few areas where Obama and Clinton’s views will be closely watched as 2016 approaches:

The president’s decision to launch airstrikes in Iraq comes only two years after he campaigned for re-election on a record that included ending the Iraq war. In her book “Hard Choices,” Clinton wrote that she “came to deeply regret” her vote to authorize the war, a decision that Obama used as a foil in the 2008 campaign. Clinton has not yet commented publicly on Obama’s latest moves in Iraq. The book includes instances in which she and Obama shared divergent views. In Egypt, she wrote that she was concerned about the U.S. being seen as pushing out a long-term partner in Hosni Mubarak without a clear picture of the region’s future. But Republicans say Clinton will be hard-pressed to draw such distinctions, since she was an integral member of his team as secretary of State. “It’s certainly hard to see how she doesn’t own the foreign policy record of this administration,” said GOP strategist Ralph Reed.

Economy

Clinton often talks about the challenges faced by many Americans who haven’t benefited from the economic recovery. Obama has presided over steady job growth during the past six months but it remains to be seen whether Clinton could run on an economic comeback story. In a July interview with the German magazine Der Spiegel, Clinton said the research of economist Thomas Piketty showed that income inequality is “threatening to democracy.” Foreign policy “Even during the Great Depression peoHow Obama handles a series of foreign ple in the streets believed that they could crises — Iraq, Gaza, Ukraine and Syria — make it and they would be better off. Now could directly influence a future Clinton the relative wealth is much higher, but the disparity makes people believe that they’re campaign. C

stuck,” said Clinton, who has pointed to her husband’s economic record as a model.

Immigration Clinton has kept a close line with Obama on immigration — both on the need for a comprehensive overhaul and the influx of unaccompanied minors from Central America across the U.S.-Mexican border. Clinton said last month she supported creating a refugee screening process for the children in their home countries to discourage the dangerous journeys to the U.S., an approach that is similar to a pilot program under consideration by the White House. Obama is expected to announce executive actions to address immigration, which could include a plan to give work permits to millions of immigrants living in the country illegally.

Climate change Clinton told college students in March she hopes for a “mass movement” on climate change, signaling the issue could figure prominently in a campaign. Obama plans to attend a United Nations summit on climate change next month and speak at the Clinton Global Initiative meeting, where one session is titled “Confronting Climate Change is Good Economics.” Environmentalists are awaiting a decision by Obama on the Keystone XL pipeline, which would carry oil in western Canada to refineries on the Gulf Coast. Environmentalists oppose the pipeline, and Obama has said he would allow it to be built only if it doesn’t exacerbate carbon pollution. Clinton has avoided directly commenting on the project, citing the ongoing review.

Cook Inlet fishermen to receive $4.6 million in aid By MOLLY DISCHNER Morris News Service-Alaska Alaska Journal of Commerce

Cook Inlet, Yukon and Kuskokwim commercial fishermen will receive payments this fall as part of the 2012 fishery disaster relief funding. The National Marine Fisheries Service announced Monday that $7.8 million of the $20.8 million appropriated for the 2012 disaster declarations for Cook Inlet, Yukon and Kuskokwim rivers salmon returns would be used for direct aid payments. Pacific States Marine Fisheries Commission, a Portland, Ore.-based organization, will administer the grant and make the payments to eligible fishermen with $3.2 million intended

Anchorage port project needs $300 million to complete construction

ANCHORAGE (AP) — Anchorage Mayor Dan Sullivan estimates the city needs about $300 million in additional funding to complete the Port of Anchorage construction project. The Alaska Dispatch News reports Sullivan spoke about the troubled project Monday after a week of meetings with shippers, port administrators and employees of CH2M Hill, the company managing the project. The city has spent more than $300 million over the past decade on a rail line, roads, utilities, drainage systems, acreage and a new dock. Construction stalled in 2009, after initial cost estimates soared from $211 million to $1 billion. Sullivan says the city expects to have a new plan by November and construction could resume in 2015.

for Yukon-Kuskokwim region fishermen, and $4.6 million for Cook Inlet fishermen. Eligible Cook Inlet fishermen will receive a $2,000 fixed payment, plus a percentage based on their landings history from 2007 to 2011, according to National Marine Fisheries Service, or NMFS, spokeswoman Julie Speegle. According to information provided by the National Marine Fisheries Service, an estimated 443 permit holders from Cook Inlet’s eastside setnet fishery will be eligible to apply for payments, as will an additional 96 Northern District fishermen. Yukon River fishermen will receive an estimated $4,952, with 631 permit holders eligible to apply, Speegle wrote in

an email. An estimated 489 Kuskokwim River fishermen will be eligible for $165 payments, Speegle wrote. That money is intended to compensate fishermen — at least partially — for losses from past salmon fisheries that received a federal disaster declaration. “I think it will be helpful to everyone at the end of the day,” said Ken Coleman, vice president of the Kenai Peninsula Fishermen’s Association. Upper Cook Inlet settnetters were almost entirely shutdown during the 2012 fishery due to concerns about the number of king salmon returning to the Kenai River. The Yukon River designa-

tion was made for 2010, 2011 and 2012; the Kuskokwim River commercial failure was declared for 2011 and 2012; and the 2012 declaration was made for Cook Inlet, according to a letter from Rebecca Blank, acting secretary of commerce, to Gov. Sean Parnell. Runs on each of those rivers were well below average. When the disaster declaration was being made, Alaska Department of Commerce, Community, and Economic Development Commissioner Susan Bell gave a letter to the federal government with a breakdown of the impacts on affected fisheries. According to that information, commercial fishery permit holders lost about $16.8 million

in direct ex-vessel revenue in the years included in the disaster designation. “From the moment we learned that Alaska would receive fishery disaster relief funds, our first priority has been to get those dollars directly into the hands of fishermen who were impacted by the fisheries failure,” said Alaska Regional Administrator Jim Balsiger in a formal statement. “Approval of the grant application for direct assistance means that will happen very soon.” According to the announcement, impacted fishermen will receive their applications for disaster relief funds in the mail. Pacific States Executive Director Randy Fisher said applications would likely be sent out

this Friday, and due back to the organization by Sept. 12. Payments will be made shortly after the due date, he said. Pacific States was also responsible for distributing the $5 million appropriation for the 2009 Yukon disaster. Congress appropriated $20.8 million in aid for the 2012 disaster. According to the announcement from NMFS, Pacific States is developing a second grant proposal based on the spending plans developed by the several organizations, and NMFS expects to award that grant in the coming months.

. . . Senate

covering hundreds of miles in an RV; he skipped the last debate to be broadcast statewide to focus on door-to-door campaigning. “I’m proud of the campaign we ran,” he said, adding: “We have not left any stone unturned.” Palin, who has little to do with state-level politics since resigning in 2009 and becoming a paid contributor for Fox News, re-emerged to support an oil tax referendum that also is on the ballot — if successful, it would restore the tax system she championed as governor — and to endorse Miller. Miller was largely considered a wild card and long shot, but he was running a race that smacked of 2010. That year, he upset Murkowski in the GOP primary, but wound up losing to her in the general election after she ran a write-in campaign. He had a network of loyal supporters, attention from con-

servative talk radio hosts and endorsements from anti-abortion and tea party-style groups. While he exuded confidence in the race’s final days, Miller said late Tuesday afternoon, after being greeted warmly by signwaving supporters along a busy Anchorage street, that he did all he could do. “We’ve left nothing on the table,” he said, noting the support he’s received has been “phenomenal.” Supporter Amy Walker of Palmer, who was sign-waving for Miller, said she didn’t think about voting for anyone else, calling Miller a “champion for liberty.” Treadwell had cast himself as the “electable” conservative, in contrast with Miller. Treadwell also played up his decades-long ties to the state, as opposed to Sullivan. He argued his knowledge of Alaska issues, from fisheries to aviation, made him the strongest candidate to

challenge Begich. His endorsements included four-time Iditarod champ Martin Buser and astronaut Buzz Aldrin, which came near the end of the race. Campaign manager Peter Christensen, out sign-waving Tuesday morning across the street from a clutch of Miller supporters, said some people don’t start to follow a race until it’s nearly over. He said endorsements tend to work that way, too. Treadwell, who struggled to race money after Sullivan jumped in, said he was proud of the race he ran and would do what he could to bring the party together after the bruising primary. “In terms of the money issue, whatever happens tonight, the fact that we were in contention, solidly in contention, being outspent 4-to-1 by huge outside money, is significant,” he said. “And I am very grateful to Alaskans who respected our record and respected our

positions and respected our ability.” Sullivan raised about four times as much as Treadwell, drawing from donors nationally. Alaska voters also advanced Republican Gov. Sean Parnell and Democratic gubernatorial candidate Byron Mallott to the general election, where independent candidate Bill Walker will await. In the race for U.S. House, Republican Rep. Don Young, who is seeking a 22nd term, and 29-year-old political upstart Forrest Dunbar, a Democrat, both won their primaries. A ballot measure on whether to repeal a new tax on oil companies operating in the state remained too close to call. Another western state, Wyoming, also held its primary election Tuesday, as U.S. Sen. Mike Enzi and Rep. Cynthia Lummis defeated lesser-known challengers from within the Republican Party.

Continued from page A-1

Sullivan, who also had the support of Karl Rove and groups like Club for Growth, was considered the front-runner early on in part due to his fundraising prowess, which has rivaled that of Begich. Roughly $4 million in attacks have been run against Sullivan by a pro-Begich super PAC, with some of the knocks against him over his residency — a big deal in Alaska. Sullivan is from Ohio, but his wife is from Alaska and his roots here date to the 1990s. He left the state in 2002 for stints in George W. Bush’s administration and overseas with the military, before returning in 2009 and being appointed attorney general by Palin. Tuesday morning, Sullivan was out with supporters — including his wife, three teenage daughters and niece — waving signs along a busy Anchorage street and looking relaxed. “We’ve got to win today, but as you know, it’s not like I’m going to be new to attack ads, OK?” he said, noting how Democrats and the super PAC Put Alaska First went after him. “That’s because they’re afraid, they fear me.” Sullivan spent the last few days leading up to the primary

Nation Anti-aircraft weapons are in Syria

Around the World American slain in Bali, daughter had troubled past CHICAGO — A Chicago woman whose beaten body was found stuffed in a suitcase on the Indonesian resort island of Bali was repeatedly and violently abused by the daughter who has been arrested in her killing, according to police reports. A Chicago-based lawyer for the 19-year-old daughter, Heather Mack, meanwhile, says he is concerned for her wellbeing after she told him she has been sexually assaulted in custody. Indonesian police deny any mistreatment. The body of Sheila von Wiese-Mack, 62, was found last week inside a suitcase in the trunk of a taxi in front of the upscale St. Regis Bali Resort in Bali’s exclusive Nusa Dua district. Her body is expected back in the U.S. on Wednesday. An autopsy found she died of asphyxiation after her nose was broken by a blunt blow. Other bones were broken in her head and face, and wounds on her hands indicate she tried to defend herself, Indonesian authorities say. Mack and her boyfriend, Tommy Schaefer, 21, also of Chicago, have been arrested in the killing.

Don Pardo, ‘Saturday Night Live’ announcer dies; voice graced TV, radio for decades NEW YORK — Few would recognize his face, but most knew his voice: the booming baritone that for nearly four decades heralded “Saturday Night Live.” Don Pardo, the eras-spanning radio and TV announcer whose resonant voice-over style was celebrated for its majesty and power, died Monday in Arizona at the age of 96. “He became our link to the beginnings of television on NBC — and radio,” said Lorne Michaels, who, as creator of “SNL” (and who remains its executive producer) hired Pardo. Pardo’s strong jaw and leading-man smile were seldom on display, but for more than 60 years his elegant pipes graced newscasts, game shows (during the original run of “Jeopardy!,” its emcee ritually called on him to “Tell ‘em what they’ve won, Don Pardo”) and especially “SNL,” where he played an integral role through last season, heralding the lineup, like always, as recently as the May finale.

Governor Perry coming to New Hampshire CONCORD, N.H. — The last time voters in New Hampshire saw Rick Perry, the Texas governor’s 2012 presidential bid had fallen apart after a series of gaffes punctuated by a much-maligned stumble during a televised debate. When he visits the key early-voting state this weekend, he’ll have a new hurdle — his indictment on abuse-of-power charges — and much to prove to Republicans watching his handling of the matter for clues to his 2016 presidential prospects. “I don’t think (Republicans) will take the indictment so seriously but they want to see if this Rick Perry is able to contend with adversity the way the other Rick Perry was unable to,” said Dante Scala, a political science professor at the University of New Hampshire. “The last time they saw him, he was stumbling around.” Others who agree with Perry that the indictment is politically motivated and without substance say his record in office will be their focus. — The Associated Press

By STEPHEN BRAUN Associated Press

WASHINGTON — Warnings from an international research group and the Federal Aviation Administration underscore the rising threat to commercial aircraft posed by hundreds of anti-aircraft weapons that are now in the arsenals of armed groups in Syria and could easily be diverted to extremist factions. Armed groups opposing the Assad regime in Syria have already amassed an estimated several hundred portable antiaircraft missiles that are highly mobile, difficult to track and accurate enough to destroy low-flying passenger planes, according to a new report by Small Arms Survey, a respected Switzerland-based research organization that analyzes the global flow of weapons. The report was released Tuesday, hours after the Federal Aviation Administration issued a notice Monday to U.S. airlines banning all flights in Syrian airspace. The agency said armed extremists in Syria are “known to be equipped with a variety of anti-aircraft weapons which

‘Opposition groups have successfully shot down Syrian military aircraft using these anti-aircraft weapon systems during the course of the conflict.’ — Federal Aviation Administration have the capability to threaten civilian aircraft.” The agency had previously warned against flights over Syria, but had not prohibited them. The separate warnings highlighted the growing concerns about the proliferation of antiaircraft missiles in the wake of last month’s lethal attack on a passenger jet flying over Ukraine. While the missile used to attack the Malaysia Airlines jet was a long-range surface-toair missile, the new warnings focus on smaller launchers and missiles known as “man-portable air defense systems,” or MANPADS, which target aircraft flying at lower altitudes, taking off or landing. The Small Arms Survey report said that several hundred anti-aircraft missile systems in rebel arsenals are mostly Rus-

sian and Chinese in origin and were either seized from government forces or smuggled in from nations sympathetic to the insurgents. The most immediate danger comes from newer, sophisticated models that could easily be diverted to extremist groups outside Syria. “In the hands of trained terrorists with global reach, even a few missiles pose a potentially catastrophic threat to commercial aviation,” wrote Matthew Schroeder, the report’s author. The analysis is based on government and media reports and video footage of anti-aircraft weapons posted online from inside Syria. The extremist Islamic State group that has overrun much of northern and western Iraq also operates inside Syria. The

militants, who have drawn fire from U.S. drones and fighter jets, recently posted an online propaganda video showing one fighter appearing to fire an older-model, Russian-made SA-7 anti-missile system. Most American and other commercial airlines already have halted flights over and into Syria. Citing the threat of MANPADS strikes, the FAA warned American carriers in May 2013 to avoid Syrian airspace, a move heightened Monday to a total ban. “Opposition groups have successfully shot down Syrian military aircraft using these anti-aircraft weapon systems during the course of the conflict,” the FAA said in its “notice to airmen.” The agency added that the presence of anti-aircraft weapons creates a “continuing significant potential threat to civil aviation operating in Syrian airspace.” FAA spokeswoman Laura J. Brown said the flight ban was based on an “updated assessment of the risk” as well as the lack of any requests from U.S. airlines to fly into Syrian airspace since the May 2013 warning.

Floods force dramatic rescues in Phoenix area By BRIAN SKOLOFF and PAUL DAVENPORT Associated Press

PHOENIX — Flooding from heavy monsoon season rains in the Phoenix area forced authorities on Tuesday to close several major roads, including a portion of Interstate 17, while elsewhere dramatic scenes were playing out as motorists were pulled from partially submerged vehicles and a helicopter crew rescued stranded residents from a home surrounded by swiftmoving waters. A small trailer park was evacuated in a town about 40 miles north of the metro area,

and a north Phoenix high school temporarily relocated 12 classrooms of students because of flooding in portions of the building. The National Weather Service issued a flash flood warning for much of the metro area and north of the city where up to 8 inches of rain fell by midday in some of the mountainous regions along the interstate. The storms are expected to affect a large area of the state throughout the day. “It’s like a conveyor belt of showers coming through here,” National Weather Service meteorologist Ken Waters said. “We’re seeing new cells popping up in the Phoenix area and

just outside the Phoenix area.” Sporadic storms are expected to continue in the area for the next few days. Dramatic aerial television footage Tuesday showed a river of muddy water rushing down I-17 about 25 miles north of Phoenix as motorists changed lanes to avoid the deluge. Another scene showed authorities pulling an elderly woman from a van stuck in fast-moving floodwaters. In New River, about 30 miles north of Phoenix, a helicopter lowered a rescuer to the roof of a home surrounded by rushing waters in an effort to pull trapped residents to safety. The scene played out on live

television Tuesday afternoon as the rescuer tried to reach the residents. The Arizona Department of Public Safety closed a roughly 15-mile stretch of I-17, redirecting traffic into the southbound lanes back toward Phoenix. Officials said it’s unclear when the highway will reopen, and Waters expects several more inches of rain in the area over the next few hours. The Arizona Department of Transportation will have to clear the road of mud and debris when the floodwaters recede to allow authorities to reopen one lane at a time hopefully by the afternoon, DPS spokesman Bart Graves said.

Protests rage; Obama struggles to find his role By JOSH LEDERMAN Associated Press

WASHINGTON — When racial tensions erupted midway through his first presidential campaign, Barack Obama came to Philadelphia to decry the “racial stalemate we’ve been stuck in for years.” Over time, he said, such wounds, rooted in America’s painful history on race, can be healed. Six years later, the stalemate suddenly seems more entrenched than ever. As Obama pleads for calm and understanding in Ferguson, Missouri, he’s struggling to determine what role — if any — the nation’s first black president can play in defusing a crisis that has laid bare the profound sense of injustice felt by African-Americans across the country. As Obama sought to strike the appropriate tone Monday, he appeared to be trapped between the need, as president and com-

mander in chief, to stand up for the government’s right to ensure law and order, and the inclination, as an African-American, to empathize with those whose say the killing of an unarmed black man just goes to show how blacks are treated differently by police. “In too many communities around the country, a gulf of mistrust exists between local residents and law enforcement. In too many communities, too many young men of color are left behind and seen only as objects of fear,” Obama said at the White House, in his most expansive comments to date about the fatal shooting of 18-yearold Michael Brown just outside St. Louis. But while Obama lamented the disproportional apprehension of young black men, he pointedly argued that’s not solely the fault of overzealous cops. Police officers must be honored and respected for the difficult job they perform,

Obama said. “There are young black men that commit crime,” the president said. “We can argue about why that happens — because of the poverty they were born into and the lack of opportunity or school systems that fail them or what have you — but if they commit a crime, then they need to be prosecuted, because every community has an interest in public safety.” It’s a delicate balance that’s likely to leave no one fully satisfied. Aiming to reassure edgy Americans that the federal government is fully engaged, Obama announced that Attorney General Eric Holder would travel Wednesday to Ferguson to meet with FBI and other officials carrying out an independent federal investigation into Brown’s death. Obama said he also spoke to Missouri Gov. Jay Nixon, who has deployed National Guard units, and urged him to ensure the use of those

units is limited and constructive. “I’ll be watching over the next several days,” the president said. But there are no plans for Obama himself to visit Ferguson soon. White House officials said they were mindful that a presidential visit, with all the security and logistics required, could divert law enforcement resources that are already stretched thin. Obama also called for the U.S. to reassess the militarization of local police departments that have purchased military gear from the Pentagon. Federal grants for such equipment have come under intense scrutiny amid the alarming images of armored vehicles and tear gas canisters filling the streets of an American suburb. “There is a big difference between our military and our local law enforcement,” Obama said. “We don’t want those lines blurred. That would be contrary to our traditions.”

Yet for all the talk of procurement and sentencing disparities and police tactics, Obama has steadfastly avoided personalizing this latest bout of racial friction. Unlike in 2013, when Obama declared that slain teen Trayvon Martin “could have been me,” Obama has been careful not to describe Brown’s death through the lens of his own experience as an African-American. And unlike in 2009, when Obama exacerbated tensions by saying police acted “stupidly” by arresting a black Harvard University professor at his own home, this time Obama is leaving the fault-finding to investigators. Obama said Monday he has to be careful about appearing to put his thumb on the scale by weighing in while a federal probe is underway. Witnesses have said Brown’s hands were above his head when an officer shot him repeatedly on Aug. 9 in Ferguson.

But police have said the officer was physically assaulted during a struggle over his weapon. Meanwhile, the aggressive police response to the subsequent protests has drawn criticism from across the U.S. Obama’s impassive response to the unrest in Ferguson contrasts with a second-term approach in which he generally has been more willing to engage on issues of race. In his remarks Monday, which came during a brief break from Obama’s twoweek vacation on Martha’s Vineyard, the president pointed to his signature initiative, My Brother’s Keeper, which aims to bring government, business and nonprofit groups together to empower young minorities to pursue a better future. “We’re making some significant progress as people of good will of all races are ready to chip in,” Obama said. “But that requires that we build and not tear down, and that requires we listen and not just shout.”

Teenagers arrested in plot after Web activities eyed By CHRISTOPHER WEBER Associated Press

SOUTH PASADENA, Calif. — Investigators acting on a tip unraveled a plot to carry out a mass shooting at a suburban Los Angeles high school, arresting a pair of students who planned to target three school staffers and kill as many people as possible, police said Tuesday. School officials learned of the plot on Thursday and notified detectives, who began watching the 16- and 17-yearold boys and monitoring their online activity, South Pasade-

na Police Chief Arthur Miller said. The pair didn’t have a date for an attack or weapons, but their online messaging included the names of three staffers to target and threats to randomly kill students, Miller said. They were also researching automatic firearms, handguns, knives, explosives and tactical techniques, he said. “Three or four days’ worth of surveillance on the Internet indicated that they had a very real threat,” he said. “They had a plan in mind that they were going to execute.” The names of the teens have

not been released because of their ages. Police expect to present their case to the district attorney later in the day. Miller said police interviewed the boys and realized how cold-hearted the plot was. He provided no specifics, and officials at South Pasadena High School did not disclose details of the initial tip. Classes start again Thursday in the quaint San Gabriel Val-

ley suburb known for its quality schools and community involvement in education. Police plan to have a larger presence than usual on campus for the first day of school. School cheerleaders Zoe Bullard and Leah Schexnayder, both 16, said they were frightened by news of the arrests. “I don’t even want to go to school on Thursday, because what if something happens?”

Schexnayder said. “What if they missed a person?” Bullard asked about the police investigation. Miller said his officers saved lives by thwarting the attack in the town of about 25,000 people

about 6 miles from downtown Los Angeles. “They were making a huge, a huge plan of a school massacre,” Miller said. “They just wanted to kill as many people as possible.”

Tens of thousands march on Pakistani parliament By ASIF SHAHZAD and ZARAR KHAN Associated Press

ISLAMABAD — Tens of thousands of protesters armed with wire cutters and backed by cranes broke through barriers protecting Pakistan’s parliament and other government buildings Tuesday night, demanding the country’s prime minister resign. Government authorities had warned they would not allow protesters to enter Islamabad’s “Red Zone,” but the demonstrators met no immediate resistance from police or the hundreds of troops guarding the buildings. Wearing masks and carrying makeshift shields, they hammered through barbed wire and locks connecting shipping containers that had been erected as a barrier around the zone, which also holds the president’s and prime minister’s ceremonial homes and many diplomatic posts.

Demanding the resignation of Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif, they shouted, “Go, Nawaz, go!” Excited young men and women made V-for-victory signs. A government minister, Saad Rafiq, said the prime minister allowed the protesters to enter the sensitive area to avoid bloodshed. The Pakistani army warned the protesters against entering parliament or any other installation. It called on all sides to resolve the situation through discussion. Men, women and children took part in the protest by some 30,000 supporters of opposition candidate Imran Khan and anti-government cleric Tahirul-Qadri. Both men have called on Sharif to step down over allegations of fraud in last year’s election. Sharif has refused and ordered the soldiers out into the streets, the first such military deployment in the capital under any civilian government in Pakistani history.

A young supporter of Pakistani cricketer-turned-politician Imran Khan, his body decorated with stickers showing Khan, dances with others during a protest in Islamabad, Pakistan, Tuesday.

Two Pakistani security officials said 700 troops had been deployed to guard the Red Zone. They spoke on condition of anonymity because they were not allowed to speak publicly about troop movements. An additional 30,000 members

of the country’s security forces were also deployed in the capital, authorities said. The protesters “want blood. They want dead bodies. That’s their politics,” Information Minister Pervaiz Rashid said. “If anything happen, the protesters

will be held responsible.” The demonstrators have camped out in Islamabad in two rallies since last week. Khan and Qadri have vowed to keep up the sit-ins until Sharif resigns. Khan said Tuesday that his supporters would make a “Tahrir Square” outside parliament, referring to the square in Egypt where mass protests in 2011 brought down President Hosni Mubarak. “Let us promise that we will remain peaceful,” Qadri urged followers. Khan told supporters: “No one will trespass into any building.” Sharif has agreed to set up a judicial commission to investigate allegations that his Pakistan Muslim League-N rigged the elections. The standoff has raised fears of political instability in this nuclear-armed country of 180 million, which has largely been ruled by dictators since independence in 1947. Both opposition leaders picked Pakistan’s

Independence Day to begin their marches. Relations between Sharif and the military frayed when the government decided late last year to prosecute former army chief Pervez Musharraf on treason charges. The military has also bristled at accusations that its powerful spy chief was behind an assassination attempt against a powerful television anchor. In Washington, State Department spokeswoman Marie Harf said: “We urge all sides to refrain from violence, exercise restraint and respect the rule of law.” The Islamabad rallies come as Pakistan’s military wages a major operation against militants. The military said it carried out airstrikes Tuesday in the Khyber and North Wazristan tribal region that killed 48 militants. Pakistan’s tribal regions are off-limits to journalists, making it difficult to verify such claims.

Iraqi military clashes with militants on the outskirts of Tikrit By SINAN SALAHEDDIN Associated Press

BAGHDAD — Skirmishes broke out Tuesday between Iraqi security forces and militants on the outskirts of Tikrit, a local official and a resident said, a day after the Iraqi and Kurdish troops backed by U.S. airstrikes dislodged Islamic militants from a strategic dam in the country’s north. The United Nations refugee agency, meanwhile, said it is launching one of its largest aid pushes aimed at helping close to a half million people who have been forced to flee their homes by the violence in Iraq. The clashes in Tikrit, some 130 kilometers (80 miles) north of Baghdad, began on the militant-held city’s southwestern outskirts when a military convoy was travelling along the main highway that links Baghdad with the northern provinces, they said. The Iraqi military shelled militant positions inside and outside the city. There were no immediate reports of casualties. The local official and resident both spoke on condition of anonymity, fearing for their safety. Sunni extremists from the Islamic State group have oc-

cupied Tikrit and the northern city of Mosul since early June, as well as large parts of the country’s north and west. The militant onslaught has plunged Iraq into its worst crisis since the withdrawal of U.S. troops in 2011. The group since has declared a self-styled caliphate in territory it controls in Iraq and neighboring Syria, imposing their own harsh interpretation of Islamic law. The Iraqi military launched an operation in late June to try to wrest back control of Tikrit, but that quickly stalled after making little headway. Sporadic clashes have been reported around the city and surrounding areas since then, but efforts by Iraqi government forces and allied Sunni tribal militiamen have failed to push out the militants. Earlier this month, the tomb of former Iraqi dictator Saddam Hussein just south of Tikrit was damaged in clashes between security forces and the radical group. Iraqi army spokesman, Lt. Gen. Qassim al-Moussawi, said Tuesday that a “slow and gradual” push to retake areas around Tikrit is underway, an effort he described as “biting back the

land.” Al-Moussawi said security forces dismantled more than 40 bombs in the area. “There are still a lot of challenges and difficulties ahead of us,” he said in a live briefing aired on state TV. “The war needs time, but we are determined to annihilate the Islamic State (group) and to liberate all the areas they occupy — even if we suffer heavy causalities, because we have no other choice.” On Monday, Iraqi and Kurdish forces recaptured the Mosul Dam in northern Iraq less than two weeks after it was seized by the militants. The dam is the largest in Iraq and a vital power and water resource for the country. The gains made by the militants brought U.S. forces back into the conflict for the first time since they withdrew in 2011. America’s renewed involvement on the battlefield was a reflection of the growing international concern over the Sunni extremist group. Washington began carrying out dozens of airstrikes on Aug. 8. Hours after retaking the dam, U.S. President Barack Obama called the development a “major step forward” in the fight against the group.

Obama said a breach of the dam could have had catastrophic consequences and endangered U.S. Embassy personnel in Baghdad. He said the U.S. was urgently providing arms and assistance to Iraqi security forces as well as Kurdish fighters fighting the extremists. “We’ve got a national security interest in making sure our people are protected and in making sure that a savage group that seems willing to slaughter people for no rhyme or reason other than they have not kowtowed — that a group like that is contained, because ultimately it can pose a threat to us,” Obama told reporters. Al-Moussawi on Tuesday

hailed the “big success and achievement” of security forces, reiterating that the dam “is now under security forces’ full control.” Also Tuesday, Iraq’s designate-Prime Minister Haider alAbadi issued a statement praising security forces as “heroes” for confronting “the terrorist gangs.” He also called on security forces to ensure “precise targeting” so as not to hit the civilians. Some 1.5 million people have been displaced by fighting in Iraq since the Islamic State’s rapid advance began in June, and thousands more have died. The scale of the humanitarian crisis prompted the U.N. to de-

clare its highest level of emergency last week. On Tuesday, the U.N. refugee agency announced that it will begin a massive air, road and sea operation Wednesday, starting with a four day airlift using Boeing 747s from Aqaba in Jordan to Iraq’s northern Kurdish region. “Many are still coming to grips with the tragedy they’ve been through in recent weeks - fleeing homes with nothing, and many trying to cope with the loss of loved ones,” Adrian Edwards, a spokesman for UNHCR, said in a statement. “Emergency support is an urgent need that we are trying to meet.”

Egyptian cease-fire efforts collapse in fighting By IBRAHIM BARZAK Associated Press

GAZA CITY, Gaza Strip — Egyptian attempts to broker an end to a monthlong war between Israel and Hamas militants collapsed in heavy fighting Tuesday, with Palestinian militants firing dozens of rockets and Israel responding with airstrikes across the Gaza Strip. At least two Palestinians were killed. The burst of violence erupted in the hours before a temporary truce was set to expire. It left the Egyptian mediation efforts in tatters, and raised the likelihood of a new round of violence. Israel withdrew its delegation from the Cairo cease-fire talks following a sudden burst of rocket fire on Tuesday afternoon, and quickly resumed its campaign of airstrikes. Palestinian officials reported Israeli airstrikes throughout Gaza that gained intensity throughout the evening. Palestinian medical official Ashraf al-Kidra said two people — a 40-year-old woman and a 2-year-old girl — were killed in an airstrike in Gaza City. A total of 21 people were wounded in a separate airstrike that hit a building that houses offices of Hamas’ Al Aqsa TV station, he said. The fatalities were the first since a temporary truce was reached last Wednesday. Israeli officials reported at least 20 rockets fired late Tuesday, including one that set off

air raid sirens in the metropolis of Tel Aviv. There were no reports of injuries. Israel’s civil defense authority, the Home Front Command, ordered authorities to reopen public bomb shelters within 50 miles (80 kilometers) of Gaza. In announcing the withdrawal of the Israeli team, government spokesman Mark Regev said the rocket fire violated the terms of the negotiations. “The Cairo talks were based on an agreed premise of a total cessation of hostilities,” he said. “When Hamas breaks the cease-fire, they also break the premise for the Cairo talks. Accordingly, the Israeli team has been called back as a result of today’s rocket fire.” He would not say whether the team would return to Cairo, or whether Israel would resume cease-fire talks. Egyptian security officials said Egypt was still pressing the two sides to agree on a cease-fire. The officials spoke on condition of anonymity because they were not authorized to speak to the press. The breakdown dealt a tough blow to nearly a week of Egyptian-led diplomacy meant to end the heaviest fighting between Israel and Hamas since the Islamic militant group seized control of Gaza in 2007. More than 2,000 Palestinians, most of them civilians, were killed, according to Palestinian and U.N. officials, and tens of thousands of people are homeless. Israel has claimed

the number of militants killed was much higher, and it blames Hamas for causing civilian casualties by staging attacks from residential areas. Sixty-four Israeli soldiers, two Israeli civilians and a guest worker have also been killed. Hamas is seeking an end to a seven-year Israeli-Egyptian blockade that has ravaged Gaza’s economy, while Israel wants guarantees that Hamas will disarm. In nearly a week of indirect talks, Egypt appears to have made little headway in resolving the differences. Late Monday, it secured a 24-hour extension to a temporary truce to allow more time for a last-ditch attempt to reach a longer-term deal. An Egyptian compromise proposal calls for easing the blockade, but not lifting it altogether and opening the territory’s air and seaports as Hamas has demanded. While the plan does not require Hamas to give up its weapons, it would give Western-backed President Mahmoud Abbas, whose forces were ousted by Hamas in 2007, a foothold back in Gaza running border crossings and overseeing internationally-backed reconstruction. Abbas’ presence would minimize friction with Israel and allow large amounts of international aid to flow into Gaza for reconstruction. In Cairo, members of the Palestinian delegation, which is comprised of various factions, said no progress had been made

in Tuesday’s talks. Yet some held out hope that the Egyptians would still succeed. “Israel insisted during the talks on disarming the factions in Gaza, and that created huge difficulties during the talks,” said Kais Abdelkarim, a Palestinian negotiator. The chief Palestinian negotiator, Azzam al-Ahmad, said the Palestinians had submitted a final proposal in hopes of reaching a breakthrough. “We gave the Egyptians our final position. We are waiting for them to come back with a response,” he said. However, Khaled al-Batsch, a representative of the Islamic Jihad militant group, said the talks had collapsed and the Palestinian delegation would leave “starting tomorrow.” He blamed “Israel stubbornness” for failure of the talks but added: “Egypt is still trying to bring back the negotiators and we hope it succeeds.” Hamas’ chief negotiator, Izzat Risheq, was pessimistic. “Egyptian mediators are waiting for an answer from the enemy delegation to the response of the Palestinian delegation,” he wrote on Twitter. “Even at 12 o’clock, the end of the deadline for the truce ... I do not think there will be an answer.” Hamas finds itself pressured by both Egypt and the Palestinian Authority to accept a less than perfect deal with Israel, but needs to show the people of Gaza that the enormous sacri-

Smoke and debris rise after an Israeli strike hit Gaza City in the northern Gaza Strip, Tuesday. The Israeli military said it carried out a series of airstrikes Tuesday across the Gaza Strip in response to renewed rocket fire, a burst of violence that broke a temporary cease-fire and endangered negotiations in Egypt over ending the month long war between Israel and Hamas. The fighting occurred some eight hours before a temporary truce was set to expire.

fices they endured in the fighting were not in vain. In an apparent attempt to pressure Hamas, Egypt said early Monday it would co-host an international fundraising

conference for Gaza — but only if a deal is reached first. That appears to play into the hands of Abbas’ Palestinian Authority, which is eager to regain control of Gaza.

Ukrainian government troops attack rebel-held areas By PETER LEONARD Associated Press

DONETSK, Ukraine — Government troops pressed attacks Tuesday in the two largest cities held by pro-Russian rebels in eastern Ukraine, while Kiev also pursued diplomatic efforts to resolve the conflict that has killed more than 2,000 and displaced another 300,000. Ukrainian President Petro Poroshenko prepared to host German Chancellor Angela Merkel this weekend before heading to a meeting next week with Russian President Vladimir Putin. The next two weeks “will be crucial for finding the way to move from war to peace,” said Valery Chaly, the deputy head of Poroshenko’s administration. He said in a televised briefing that Kiev sees “clear diplomatic roadmap” ahead and expressed hope that a new approach could be found to end the war. Poroshenko’s efforts to quell the insurgency have been focused on encircling Donetsk, the largest rebel-controlled city and a regional capital. Fighting began in mid-April after Russia annexed Crimea, a peninsula on the Black Sea, while Kiev’s forces have recaptured significant amounts of territory from the separatists. Moscow has denied allegations by Kiev and the West that it has fomented the rebellion in the Russian-speaking parts of eastern Ukraine. It says the Ukrainian government has discriminated against residents of the region who seek closer ties to Russia. In fighting Tuesday, one soldier was killed and four were wounded when a pro-Kiev battalion of volunteers came under mortar fire before entering the town of Ilovaysk, 18 kilometers (11 miles) east of Donetsk, Ukrainian officials said. Among the wounded in Ilovaysk was the commander of the Donbass battalion, Semyon Semenchenko, who said his forces had destroyed three rebel checkpoints and four firing positions and that fighting continued. Semenchenko, who appears in public in his trademark balaclava, has cult hero status in Ukraine for his battlefield exploits. Ukrainian troops also captured a neighborhood in the regional capital of Luhansk, battling rebels on the city’s streets, National Security Council spokesman Andriy Lysenko said. The fighting has killed at least 2,086 people as of Aug. 10, and it has forced nearly 344,000 to flee their homes, according to the United Nations. Living conditions in rebel-held cities had deteriorated rapidly in recent weeks.

With the rebels losing more and more ground, the Kremlin announced a summit will be held in Minsk, Belarus, on Aug. 26 that would also include top officials from Ukraine, the European Commission and the Customs Union bloc, which is made up of Russia, Kazakhstan, and Belarus. Putin and Poroshenko have not met since early June. Poroshenko, who confirmed

the meeting, said “stabilizing the situation” in eastern Ukraine would be a key topic of discussion. Putin spokesman Dmitry Peskov said, however, that the Russian leader wanted to talk about the deteriorating humanitarian situation there. But first, Poroshenko will meet Saturday in Kiev with Merkel. Germany, Europe’s largest economy with close business ties with Moscow, has

played a leading role in trying to defuse the crisis. The conflict has recently taken a huge toll on Luhansk, a city near the Russian border that has been left without electricity, running water or phone service for 17 days. Central Luhansk came under fierce shelling overnight, killing and wounding civilians, the city administration said, without giving specific casualty figures.

Residents were reported to be standing in lines to buy bread. Authorities also expressed fears about the possible outbreak of infectious diseases from mounting piles of garbage that have been uncollected for more than two weeks. Artillery fire also was heard across Donetsk, with areas on the outskirts hit hardest city, authorities said. A resident of Olenivka, a vil-

lage south of Donetsk, told The Associated Press by phone that Ukrainian government troops were firing artillery from fields near her house. The woman, who asked to be identified only as Tatyana because she feared reprisal from the troops, said houses in her village had been hit by return fire in previous days. Loud blasts could be heard in the background as she spoke.

Edwards jumping ship to Joe Gibbs Racing Longtime Roush Racing driver finally announces 2015 plans; Suarez also promoted in Nationwide JENNA FRYER AP Auto Racing Writer

HUNTERSVILLE, N.C. (AP) — Carl Edwards scrolled across a stage at Joe Gibbs Racing and jokingly yelled, ‘Surprise!’ There was no surprise whatsoever about his formal introduction Tuesday as a fourth driver in the JGR Sprint Cup lineup. The move had been expected since at least May and intensified last month when Roush Fenway Racing said Edwards was not returning in 2015. Edwards, who has driven for Roush for 12 years, will join a new fourth Toyota team for Gibbs next season. The No. 19 will be sponsored by Arris, a telecommunications company, in 17 of the races.

JGR has been at three cars since 2005 and has held off expanding to the NASCAR-maximum of four fulltime entries. “We felt like if we could get Carl, and we could get another sponsor, that this was the right time,” Gibbs said. Edwards had been through a high-profile free agency once before, in 2011 when he was in the thick of the championship hunt. He ultimately spurned JGR in that bidding process to sign an extension with Roush, and although the negotiations were never a distraction, Edwards lost the title that year to Tony Stewart on a tie-breaker. Edwards hasn’t been a title threat since. He went winless in 2012 and missed the Chase for the Sprint Cup championship, and although

he made two trips to Victory Lane last season, he finished last in the 13-driver Chase field. Edwards is currently ninth in the Cup standings with two wins. The Chase begins next month, and he said he’s determined to close out his Roush tenure with a championship for the No. 99 team. But when the season is over, his focus will quickly turn to JGR, where he saw an opportunity for stability and consistency as a teammate to Kyle Busch, Denny Hamlin and Matt Kenseth. “Sometimes you’ve just got to shake things up, you’ve got to do things differently,” Edwards said. “When an opportunity like this comes up and the all the pieces come together this perfectly, for me, I didn’t want to look back and wonder what

that would have been like. I wanted to take the opportunity and go see what I could make of it.” Edwards will be reunited with Kenseth, who was his teammate at Roush for nine seasons and had a frosty relationship that went public in 2007 when Edwards confronted Kenseth after a race at Martinsville. Kenseth moved to JGR last season, won a series-high seven races and finished second in the championship race. Gibbs said Kenseth is the first person the organization consulted when it entered the bidding for Edwards. “Matt was awesome, he said, ‘this guy, you get him over here, he’s going to win races. He’ll be a good teammate and he’s really, really good with sponsors,’ “ Gibbs said. “So Matt was the first person we talked to, and

then we went to Denny and we went to Kyle. Because it is teamwork. This sport is unusual because you have to work together to get better, to get more information, to have more input on the weekend. We think this is the right combination for us.” Kenseth said the history between he and Edwards is overblown, and much has changed since 2007. Edwards has gotten married and the two drivers have had five children between them. “Carl and I get along fine,” he said. “That relationship has changed a lot through the years. Him having kids the same age as my kids, and playing together, has probably made us more friends and made us do things together. I think it will be a good mix, I really do.”

NEW YORK (AP) — Chris Carter snapped a ninth-inning tie with a colossal three-run homer, extending his secondhalf power surge and sending the Houston Astros to a 7-4 victory over the New York Yankees on Tuesday night.

COLUMBUS, Ohio (AP) — Ohio State star quarterback Braxton Miller will miss the 2014 season, dealing a severe blow to the fifth-ranked Buckeyes’ national title hopes. Ohio State confirmed late Tuesday afternoon that Miller reinjured his throwing shoulder and will need surgery. The two-time Big Ten player of the year left practice in pain Monday after making a short throw. “My goal is to come back from this injury stronger and better than ever,” Miller said in a statement. It’s a huge blow to a team considered to be one of the best in the Big Ten and the country, one which already has several major holes to fill on offense. “My thoughts and prayers are with Braxton and his family,” Ohio State head coach Urban Meyer said. “This is an unfortunate injury to a young man who means so much to this program.” The senior and threeyear starter partially tore the labrum in his right shoulder in a loss to Clemson at the Orange Bowl. He had surgery, did not face contact in spring practice and was held out of several practices this month due to soreness. Redshirt freshman J.T. Barrett is Miller’s top backup and will likely be the starter in the Aug. 30 opener against Navy in Baltimore. Miller said he was on schedule to graduate with a degree in Communications in December and that he also wanted to attend graduate school, “and then return to lead the Buckeyes next season.”

Miller’s options would include taking a medical redshirt and returning to Ohio State for one more season in 2015, or rehabbing the injury and making himself available for the NFL draft in the spring. He toyed with the idea of turning pro last spring but decided against it because of the shoulder surgery might hurt him with pro teams. With a schedule that includes games at defending Big Ten champion Michigan State on Nov. 8, at Penn State on Oct. 25 and a Sept. 6 date at home against Virginia Tech, the Buckeyes are suddenly confronted by a lot of question marks. Miller’s injury in Monday’s practice, first reported by The Columbus Dispatch, came on a routine, unrushed rollout pass. Miller reportedly left the field after screaming in pain but was upbeat later while getting his shoulder iced. He had his arm in a sling on Monday night. Miller is one of the Big Ten’s most decorated quarterbacks, and the falloff in experience compared to his backups is huge. He has thrown 666 passes in his glittering three-year career, starting as a freshman. Barrett has never played in a game, and sophomore Cardale Jones threw his only two collegiate passes during a 56-0 rout of Purdue. Miller has also run for 32 touchdowns and passed for 52, putting him in reach of many of Ohio State’s career records at his position. Barrett was an acclaimed four-star recruit out of Wichita Falls, Texas, who watched with Jones last year as Miller took most of the snaps in the Buckeyes’ 12-2 season.

During the investigation, Joshua Jefferson Wright IV, 24, of Anchorage, refused to cooperate with troopers and became combative. Wright, who the victim indicated was one of his assailants, was arrested for fourth-degree assault, disorderly conduct and resisting arrest. During the struggle to restrain Wright he damaged one of the troopers watch. Wright was also arrested for fifth-degree criminal mischief.

Truesdell, himself a Skyview High School graduate, said while the new school is a change of scenery, most of the staff and students are the same. “I sat up last night thinking how this has been a three-year process just to get to today,” he said. “It seemed like a monumental task that would never happen. To know the building was ready and to see the smiles on kids’ faces at orientation is the most exciting thing.” After all the students received a sweatshirt all the students gathered in the commons for a photo. Truesdell said middle school kids haven’t a commons area before to hang out with classmates. “This is a beautiful venue at Skyview,” he said. “To look out my window and see the surrounding view it puts a smile to my face.”

gave tax credits for investment but contained a progressive surcharge that companies said ate too deeply into profits, discouraging new investment. The “progressivity” was designed to share profits when oil prices were high. Over its seven years on the books, it helped replenish state savings accounts. Palin, largely absent from Alaska politics in recent years, last week called the measure a success and Parnell’s bill a “boondoggle.”

to invest,” Welles said. “Ninety percent of (Alaska’s) budget is based on (oil).” The Sterling Community Center saw a consistent stream of voters come in right from the 7 a.m. opening and continuing throughout the morning, said Melissa Daugherty, an election volunteer. A lot of parents dropped off their kids for the first day of school at Sterling Elementary School and then stopped next door to cast a vote, she said. Tasha Walden brought her son Urijah, 5, to Soldotna City Hall to teach him about voting. When her son asked her why people vote, she said it is our right as Americans to vote yes or no on important issues. Sherril Miller, who voted at the Soldotna Regional Sports Complex, said Measure 1 is a non-partisan issue. She said she has read about the pros and cons of SB 21 and believe it deserves more time to see it’s full benefit to Alaska. Anchorage resident, Ron Rannals works in Nikiski three days every week and made sure he could vote at the Nikiski Recreation Center. He said both sides of SB 21 have very good points. Rannals said he stayed current on the debates about SB 21. He said the Vote Yes campaign did not provide an overwhelming argument that persuaded him to vote yes. Betty Idleman, who was running the voting polls said the level of incoming voters has been steady. She said usually

a good percentage of Nikiski’s registered voters turn out every year, however this year there is significantly more registered than in years past. Idleman said she is interested to see if that percentage maintains while the numbers on the register increase. Along with Measure 1, citizens had the choice to select candidates for governor, lt. governor, U.S. Senate and U.S. Representative, based on their party affiliation. Many voters said the Republican race for U.S. Senate intrigued them the most with candidates Dan Sullivan, Lt. Governor Mead Treadwell and Joe Miller. Bert Wilson, of Soldotna, said he voted because two issues mattered to him. He voted no on Measure 1 and voted for Miller for U.S. Senate. “I would like to see Miller get in,” he said. “He is a veteran and I like that.” Sterling resident Verissa Walber said she voted for Dan Sullivan for U.S. Senate because he has the best interests for all Alaskans. She said he canceled his campaign tour to Palmer to help people involved in the car wreck on the Parks Highway on Monday. “I am tired of the smear campaigns against him from people that don’t even live in Alaska,” she said. “People need to take the time to know and study a candidate.” Walber, 65, said she has encouraged younger people to vote because with the threat to repeal SB 21, a lot is at stake

with for Alaska’s future. She said she voted no on Measure 1. “Vote with your conscience but research the candidates you’re voting for,” she said. Soldotna resident Gary Shearer said he watched the U.S. Senate debate on TV Monday night and found it more amusing than insightful. He said he likes what Begich is doing for Alaska from the nation’s capital. “I don’t like any of (the Republican candidates),” he said. “It’s important to elect the people that represent us and make sure they have our interests in mind.” John Rysdyk, who voted at Soldotna City Hall, said he considers it a privilege to vote in every election. He said would prefer any of the Republican candidates for U.S. Senate to Begich. “I don’t care who wins — they are all good guys with big hearts,” Rysdyk said. “I feel this country is going the wrong way and things need to change. I’m not politically savvy but I try to make decisions with common sense. My main concern is getting the country going in a different direction.”

“Alaskans, at this rate, crony capitalists wonder why we don’t just give our energy resources away for free. We own the energy sources per our Constitution, and we violate our state’s blueprint that creates security and prosperity when we wave the white flag and give in to every demand of multinational corporations doing business up here,” she wrote on Facebook, encouraging voters to repeal it. Parnell and other critics called ACES an investmentkiller and said it had done nothing to replenish oil in the pipeline, where volume has fallen sharply from a high of 2 million barrels per day in 1988 to about

one-quarter of that amount. Parnell dubbed Senate Bill 21 the “More Alaska Production Act.” It took effect Jan. 1 and substantially reduced the progressive surcharge at higher prices. The measure passed by the thinnest of margins in the state Senate, 11-9. Critics almost immediately began a repeal effort. Referendum advocates said the law pushed by Parnell gave away revenue that rightfully belongs to Alaskans for public services and public construction projects, without extracting a promise from oil companies to invest their tax breaks with new wells or additional production. If the law had been

in effect from 2006 to 2013 instead of ACES, Alaska would have taken in $8.5 billion less, according to state Sen. Bill Wielechowski, D-Anchorage. Wielechoski said the close vote showed that many Alaskans are unhappy with the law passed last year. “You can’t ignore that you had an army of people out there tonight that, regardless of what the result is tomorrow, that are unhappy with or tax system. You do so at your peril,” he said. Neither the Parnell plan nor the Palin system put more oil in the trans-Alaska pipeline, he said.

About the big brown bear Celebrate a remarkable life, with a Robin Williams favorite Classic Pot Roast with Caramelized Onion Gravy in the blueberry patch

The Ricks Ranch 1999, North Nikiski, Alaska “I’m going up to see if the blueberries are ripe. Be right back,” I told Bob. I jumped in my old green Thunderbird that Bob called the Green Bean Machine. I drove up past the blueberry patch just around the corner from our house, turned around and stopped on the side of the road, leaving the car running and the door open. I walked around the front of the car and stepped down into the ditch and up onto the area where the blueberries were. “Wow! They are ready to pickwhat was that?!” I caught a movement in the bushes as I looked up. Not seeing anything I went a few more steps farther into the blueberry bushes. I saw a movement again! I looked up to my right just in time to see a big brown bear stand up on his hind feet, stick his neck out, sniff with his head held high....probably thinking I was going to steal HIS blueberries. My heart stop!! My feet turned to lead. I just stared for a half second. Then my heart jumped into high gear, my feet started going backwards toward the ditch, down the ditch,

Creation of the Virginia Oyster Trail connects travelers to oyster regions

f you read the front inside flap of 2004’s “Star Palate: Celebrity Cookbook for a Cure,” you will discover that cookbook author, Tami Agassi, “was a 30-year-old breast cancer survivor when she dreamed up Star Palate as a way to promote awareness of breast and ovarian cancer and to raise funds to fight for a cure.” Teaming with renowned chef and gifted author Kathy Casey (owner of Kathy Casey Food Studios® - Liquid Kitchen®, as well as Dish D’Lish), Agassi’s idea took root and many celebrities embraced the initiative by submitting stories and recipes. I highlighted some of those celebrity-submitted recipes in this column several years ago, but not for “Classic Pot Roast with Caramelized Onion Gravy,” contributed by Robin Williams’ then personal chef, John Mathies, because Williams was “notorious for not knowing how to cook.” (Perhaps just like the hilariously indomitable, even sexy, kitchen klutz, Euphegenia Doubtfire, from the 1993 movie “Mrs. Doubtfire,” winner of an Oscar for Best Makeup and a Golden Globe award for Williams for Best Performance by an Actor in a Motion Picture - Comedy/

It is very hard to accept Williams’ passing, and as we learn more about his private struggles, the depth of his generosity, despite those difficulties, is stunning. Williams’ was a life to celebrate. Celebrate it with a meal he loved, with those you love – and find a reason to smile. Sue Ade is a syndicated food writer with broad experience and interest in the culinary arts. She has worked and resided in the Lowcountry of South Carolina since 1985 and may be reached at kitchenade@yahoo.com.

When Robin Williams, “notorious for not knowing how to cook,” was asked to participate in 2004’s “Star Palate: Celebrity Cookbook for a Cure,” by Tami Agassi and Kathy Casey, he turned to his then personal chef, John Mathies (pictured upper right with Williams), for a recipe. Chef Mathies obliged and shared a recipe for one of Williams’ favorite dishes – “Classic Pot Roast with Caramelized Onion Gravy,” lower right.

BY MICHAEL FELBERBAUM AP Business Writer

RICHMOND, Va. — Riding a wave of growth and popularity of the state’s aquaculture, Virginia officials on Tuesday announced the creation of the Virginia Oyster Trail to connect travelers to the state’s oyster industry. The industry that dates to the founding of Jamestown in 1607 is enjoying its largest harvest since 1987 and is hoping to propel Virginia’s briny bivalves into the global spotlight. The newly launched trail links visitors with Virginia oyster purveyors, and restaurants, raw bars and the long-standing watermen culture throughout the Northern Neck, Middle Peninsula and Virginia’s Eastern Shore. “From briny to mild, oysters have been bringing local flavor to Virginia since the first inhabitants harvested them from our waters,” Gov. Terry McAuliffe said at an event announcing the trail at the Executive Mansion in Richmond that paired Virginia oysters and wine. “They are a terrific item in the world seafood market and they serve an invaluable function of filtering the waters of the Chesapeake Bay and its tributaries.” Virginia’s seven different oyster regions produce the largest amount of wild-caught and farm-raised oysters in the U.S., bringing the industry back from “almost total collapse,” McAuliffe said. Last year, the state’s harvest increased 25 percent to more than 500,000 bushels and a dockside value of more than $22 million. Just 12 years ago, Virginia’s oyster harvest was only about 23,000 bushels. According to the Virginia Marine Resource Commission, the state has nearly 650 licensed oyster fishermen, more than 540 licensed oyster aquaculturists and more than 30 licensed oyster shucking houses. The success has contributed to Virginia becoming the leading East Coast producer of seafood and the third-largest in the nation, officials said. “People are eating more (oysters) year-round. They’re enjoying them all the time and they’re getting into it,” said Patrick Oliver, farm manager of the Rappahannock River Oyster Co., a century-old family business that was resurrected in 2002 by the founder’s great grandsons Ryan and Travis Croxton. The business now includes restaurants in its headquarters of Topping, Richmond and Washington, D.C. Growth of Virginia oysters also has helped bolster other businesses, such as the wine industry in Virginia, which is home to more than 250 wineries and is fifth in the nation for wine grape production. “It’s really huge what the impact has been economic development wise, environmentally, culinary,” said Dudley Patteson, who purchased a winery in Irvington three years ago and rebranded the vineyard as The Dog and Oyster with the intention of creating wines specifically to pair with oysters. “No one had really claimed the oyster as their own ... and you have all sorts of tie-ins (in Virginia).”

Clockwise from upper left, oil is heated in oven-proof Dutch oven. Meat is added and browned on all sides, then removed from pan. In the rich drippings, diced onions are sautéed until well browned and caramelized. Meat is added back to the pot, along with wine and the rest of the ingredients, then placed in a preheated oven and cooked until tender, about two to three hours.

Kitchen Ade note: I added more carrots to the pot and doubled the amount of liquid to 1 cup beef broth and 1 cup red wine. I also added an additional 2 tablespoons of tomato paste, making the total amount of tomato paste used to ¼ cup. I did not thicken the gravy with flour, as I found it to be thick enough with just the onions. I baked the pot roast for three hours and it was fork tender. RIGHT: So good, you’ll smile. “Created by Robin’s personal chef, John Mathies, this roast is meltingly delicious. Serve with oven-roasted root vegetables, buttered noodles, rice or mashed potatoes.” – “Star Palate: Celebrity Cookbook for a Cure.” C

Heat oil in a large, deep pan or Dutch oven over high heat until hot but not smoking. Brown meat well on all sides, about 2 to 3 minutes per side, and remove to a plate when done. Turn down heat to mediumhigh; add onions and sauté until well browned and caramelized, scraping up all the browned bits from the pan. Add wine, broth, tomato paste, garlic, vegetables and bay leaves. Return meat to the pan, and bring to a boil. Cover and place in preheated oven. Cook until meat is very tender, about 2 to 3 hours. Halfway through cooking, turn meat over so all surfaces spend time in the liquid. When done, remove from oven, discard bay leaves, and remove celery and carrot with a slotted spoon to a dish; reserve. Take meat from pot, and keep warm. Mix up the flour and water to make a smooth slurry. Whisking constantly, drizzle slurry into the sauce and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat, and simmer sauce 3 to 5 minutes to thicken and cook out flour taste. Adjust the seasoning. Serve pot roast sliced, with vegetables and gravy. Makes 8 servings.

Kansas group’s food trucks help serve Wichita’s hungry WICHITA, Kan. — A charity served more than 51,000 meals to hungry Kansans last month at its brick-andmortar locations and two food trucks. The Lord’s Diner, a ministry of Catholic Charities, served more than 16,000 of those meals through a food truck stationed in a Wichita neighborhood known as Hilltop, The Wichita Eagle reported (http:// bit.ly/1y598Sb ). At least 50 percent of the people who receive meals there each night walk to the food truck parked at South Terrace Drive. Some are single mothers who also receive extra meals to take to their el-

derly neighbors. The truck served about 500 dinners a night when it first started delivering meals in June, but that number soon grew to 700. On July 31, 921 meals were served. “The night we did 921 meals, it was raining,” said Jan Haberly, executive director for the Lord’s Diner. “Still, people walked over here in the rain and waited 30 minutes in line for a meal. You don’t do that unless you really need it.” The organization started planning for 900 meals a night after they had to stretch food items among those who stood in line, Haberly said. She said summer is typically a busy time

for the organization. “The people still received a good meal, but not everything was served — sometimes there wouldn’t be a dessert or fruit,” she said. Most of the people in the area work several low-income jobs, Haberly said. Billie Tucker on Monday picked up four meals — for himself, his wife and grandchildren. “I come over here because with my Social Security and what medicine costs, I’m in the hole $400 a month,” Tucker said. The Lord’s Diner opened in February 2002 with a mission to help feed Wichita’s hungry.

Summer fruit crisp cooked in the most summery way BY ELIZABETH KARMEL Associated Press

When we think “hot off the grill,” we usually think about something mea ty. But this time of year I also like to grill desserts! In late summer, I make this grilled fruit crisp every week. It is good with whatever fruit you find at the market, ripe and ready to be mixed with a little bit of sugar, citrus and cinnamon. The addition of orange liqueur is optional, but one that I always opt for as it makes a big difference. If you don’t have any orange liqueur, a bit of bourbon is nice, too. Since the topping of the crisp is everyone’s favorite part of the dessert, I add oatmeal and pecans to the classic butterflour-sugar blend to make it even crunchier and more substantial. When you toss the fruit with the sugar and cornstarch, be sure to mix well and let the fruit sit for 5 minutes to bring out the natural juices, then mix again. And when baking, make sure you bake it long enough for the cornstarch and fruit juices to bubble up and turn opaque or your crisp will taste slightly raw and gritty instead of silky smooth. The dessert is made for easy entertaining since you can assemble it early in the day and grill it just before you want to eat it. You also could bake it in advance and serve it at room temperature. Generally, I put the crisp on the grill over indirect medium heat right when I take the meat off the grill. That way, it is bubbling and hot when everyone is ready for dessert and I love the drama of lifting the lid off the grill in front of my guests. And of course this crisp is best served with a heaping scoop of vanilla ice cream!

Summer Crisp with Pecan Streusel Topping I make this crisp most often with a combination of berries, but almost any combination of fruit is delicious. Aim for a total of 8 to 10 cups of sliced fruit. Start to finish: 1 hour Servings: 8 For the streusel topping: 1 cup packed light brown sugar 1 cup all-purpose flour 1 cup regular or quick-cooking oatmeal (not instant) 1/2 cup coarsely chopped pecans 1 teaspoon cinnamon 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt 3/4 cup (1 1/2 sticks) unsalted butter, softened, cut into small pieces

For the filling: 3 cups strawberries, halved 3 cups blueberries

This May 5 photo shows summer crisp with pecan streusel topping in Concord, N.H. The addition of orange liqueur is optional for the dish, but it can make big difference in the summer dessert.

2 cups blackberries or raspberries Zest and juice of 1 orange Zest and juice of 1 lemon 1/2 cup granulated sugar, more or less, depending on sweetness of the fruit 1/4 cup cornstarch 1 teaspoon cinnamon 2 to 3 tablespoons orange liqueur (optional) Vanilla ice cream, to serve Prepare a grill for medium heat, indirect cooking. For a charcoal grill, this means banking the hot coals to one side of the grill and cooking on the other side. For a gas grill, this means turning off one or more burners to create a cooler side, then cooking on that side. To make the topping, in a large bowl combine all ingredients except the butter. Mix well. Add the butter, then use a pastry blender or forks to work it in until the mixture resembles large, coarse breadcrumbs. Set aside. To make the filling, in a second large bowl combine all ingredients, mixing gently. Set aside for 5 minutes.

Place the berry mixture in an oven-safe 4-quart round casserole or souffle dish, or a 9-by13-inch casserole dish. Crumble the streusel mixture evenly over the fruit. Place the crisp over the cooler side of the grill, cover the grill and cook for 35 to 45 minutes, or until bubbly and the top is browned. Transfer the baking dish to a cooling rack. Serve warm with vanilla ice cream, if desired.

Peninsula Clarion, Wednesday, August 20, 2014

Husband who relives his past should focus on his present might benefit you both.

What do I do?

DEAR ABBY: I have been in a relationship with “Bob” for 12 years. He doesn’t work and doesn’t take care of our children because he says it’s “not his responsibility.” I have supported him all this time, yet nothing is good enough. He has cheated on me several times. During his third affair, he had two kids with Abigail Van Buren the other woman. He doesn’t understand why I don’t trust him and why I insist on seeing his cellphone. The last time I was able to get ahold of it, he broke down the bathroom door trying to get it back. He threatens to move out, and if he does, that will be “the last I hear from him.” I would be relieved if he went. I have so much anger toward him. I love him, but at this point love doesn’t have anything to do with it. I have asked him several times to leave, but he just keeps saying he’ll be leaving on his own terms. I can’t continue like this anymore. He brings out the worst in me and I hate it.

— HAD IT IN PHOENIX DEAR HAD IT: That you have tolerated this behavior for 12 years boggles my mind. Because this philandering freeloader has resided with you for so long, you may have to go through formal eviction proceedings to get rid of him. You have given him a free ride, and you may need the services of a lawyer to pry him out of there. If you do, consider it money well spent. DEAR ABBY: If a spouse keeps photos of a college sweetheart after 50 years, what does it mean? Does it mean he is still carrying a torch for that person and doesn’t want to forget her? — SUSPICIOUS IN HOUSTON DEAR SUSPICIOUS: I doubt it, but if you want to be sure, the person you should ask is your husband. After 50 years, the “torch” may be too heavy to carry — or completely out. Dear Abby is written by Abigail Van Buren, also known as Jeanne Phillips, and was founded by her mother, Pauline Phillips. Contact Dear Abby at www. DearAbby.com or P.O. Box 69440, Los Angeles, CA 90069.

Hints from Heloise

Jacqueline Bigar’s Stars

Rubes

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) HHH Be aware of what is happening between you and someone else. A discussion might be in order. A family member could decide to take a stand. Having an important person on your side is likely to increase your security. Tonight: Treat a favorite person to dinner. CANCER (June 21-July 22) HHHHYou are much more in your element than you realize. You seem to have pushed beyond your normal limits, and somehow you still might not get your desired results. Your personality will blossom with a newfound self-confidence. Tonight: As you like it. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) HHH Sit back and say little; you will learn a lot more by observing. Others initially might feel awkward, but you’ll learn a lot more about the people who surround you. A hunch that involves money could pay off. Tonight: Not to be found. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) HHHH Don’t question your direction today. Your present course will lead you where you want to go. Remain sensitive to a loved one who seems to be wearing rose-colored glasses. You might need to help this person get in touch with reality. Tonight: Go with an imaginative idea. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) HHH Take a stand, but only if you must. Loved ones whom you rarely see but who play a key role in your daily life will appreciate your newfound curiosity. Listen to your inner voice when dealing with a boss or an important older relative. Tonight: Out late. SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21)

By Leigh Rubin

Ziggy

HHHH Use your intellect, and mix it with a deep emotional resonance. As a result, you’ll create a positive change in an area of your life that you already find richly rewarding. Open up to a loved one; it will be good for this person to see your thought process. Tonight: Break a pattern. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) HHHHYou might want to open up to a different way of proceeding, one that a partner seems to have an easy understanding of. You might be torn between following a longdesired dream and doing what is logical. Do not restrict yourself either way. Can you have both? Tonight: Dinner for two. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) HHHHH You could be pleased by a partner and his or her choices. This person might opt to draw you in closer by reaching out to you for help. As you fulfill this request, you also will be making yourself happy. You’ll delight others with your spontaneity. Tonight: All smiles. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) HHHH You might feel as if you are on a countdown to complete a project. Your ability to understand what others expect from you tends to put tremendous pressure on you. Let go of judgments, and you will be happier. Tonight: Head to the gym for some exercise. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) HHHHH Your mind could be fixated on a child or loved one. If someone else needs to have a serious conversation with you, you will be hard-pressed to be present in the moment with him or her. Your personal life is so much more exciting! Tonight: Let romance in.

Storing cooking fat: the sequel Dear Readers: Recently, a reader shared her hint about storing cooking fat in a glass jar, in the freezer, before garbage day. Here are just a couple of readers’ hints on the subject. * Lori J., via email, said: “Simply keep the fat in a container in the fridge, rather than the freezer. On a cat-litterchanging day, pour the fat into the soiled litter, which will absorb it. Put it in the trash as usual.” Heloise here: I do hope it is put into a plastic bag! * Clifford W. in Louisiana wrote: “I have found that used laundry-detergent bottles also can be used to pour that excess fat or used grease into. I store it under the sink until it is full, and then I put it out in the trash. The odor of the detergent residue in the bottle also cuts down on the smell.” Heloise here: Please be sure that the grease is cool — it might melt the plastic jug! — Heloise

Send a great hint to: Heloise P.O. Box 795000 San Antonio, TX 78279-5000 Fax: 210-HELOISE Email: Heloise(at)Heloise.com

Testing doneness Dear Heloise: When baking a cake or muffins, the instructions often say to test for doneness with a toothpick or knife. If it comes out clean, the product is cooked. For me, a toothpick often is too short, and a knife can mess up the appearance. Then I found something that works perfectly! I bought a package of 100 wooden barbecue skewers that are 10 inches long and very inexpensive. They work great! I won’t use anything else. — Louise G., Neptune, N.J.

SUDOKU

A baby born today has a Sun in Leo and a Moon in Gemini if born before 4:45 a.m. (PDT). Afterward, the Moon will be in Cancer. HAPPY BIRTHDAY for Wednesday, Aug. 20, 2014: This year you often see that it is better not to reveal your feelings. In general, you express yourself well. You will be entering the first year of a new 12-year luck cycle. Your optimism soars and opens up more opportunities for you. Make it a point to update your priorities. As you change, your goals change. If you are single, the likelihood of experiencing a major romance is extremely high. How this romance evolves will depend mainly on your age and on what you want from life. If you are attached, the two of you will start acting as if you had just met. Your bond becomes closer with increased romance. CANCER makes a great healer for you. 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) HHHYour intuitive voice often points you down an intriguing path. You will find that you are a lot better off than you might have anticipated. Keep your opinion to yourself for now. You won’t want to influence others right now, as they could be touchy. Tonight: Head home early. TAURUS (April 20-May 20) HHHHHFriendsmighthaveaunique way of supporting you. You’ll need to consider what will be the best way to share your feelings. Your creativity could be triggered by a new friend. Stay in contact with this person. Tonight: Make plans for the coming weekend.

DEAR ABBY: I’m married to the love of my life. I can’t imagine loving a man more than I love “Wayne,” and I know he feels the same about me. The problem is, he’s always telling stories about things he has done, including past relationships, in graphic detail. I have heard all of them repeatedly, and I’m sick of them. When I tell him this he says, “Fine! I won’t talk to you anymore.” Wayne never talks about OUR past, present or future. How can I get him to stop reliving “the good ol’ days” and start focusing on our life together? — CURRENT EVENT IN KENTUCKY DEAR CURRENT EVENT: Wayne may react defensively when you say you’re “sick” of his stories because he feels you are criticizing him. Perhaps if you told him that hearing him dwell on past relationships is hurtful, he might be willing to enlarge his repertoire. If that doesn’t help, it’s possible your husband feels his best years are behind him. Past conquests and adventures can be more fun to dwell on than the new lawnmower, the plumbing that needs replacement, which friends are sick and the most recent one who died. Things might improve if you work together to create activities that will spice up your lives and give him some new material. Try it. It

The Peninsula held its first “Bcureful” Tuberous Sclerosis Complex (TSC) awareness event Sunday August 10th, thanks to 2014 reigning Mrs. Alaska and Footworks Quality Shoes & Boots on K-Beach Rd. TSC is a genetic disorder that can affect multiple organ systems, “My son currently has seven brain tumors, two in his left eye and two in his heart and as he gets older they are likely to grow elsewhere in his body,” explained Mrs. Alaska Erica Chilla of Kenai. “World Peace is great but my platform for the Mrs. Alaska and Mrs. America pageant was raising awareness of Tuberous Sclerosis Complex. I needed a way to get people to hear me about TSC and my family thought that competing for Mrs. Alaska would give me that opportunity and the megaphone I was looking for. It did thanks to folks like Tina at Footworks,” she said. Erica is the granddaughter of Ozzie Osborn of Kenai and the daughter of Joyce and Seth Rawson, the wife of Shawn Chilla and the mother of 4-year-old Easton and almost 2-year-old Ace who is

fighting TSC. His brother Easton is fine and already riding in the Soldotna Rodeo. Over $1,000 was raised Sunday at Footworks where a kids carnival fun fair was set up with a petting zoo, games, a Jumpin’ Junction slide, horse rides and of course the opportunity to meet Mrs. Alaska and her son Ace. “I got the idea when Erica came into the store and was talking to me about the pageant and her son with TSC. We thought it would be a great idea for the community to raise some awareness about this disease and I’d guess we had about five hundred folks turn out today,” said Tina Lohry, Footworks owner. “Bcureful” is the non-profit organization that is receiving the funds raised by the efforts of Mrs. Alaska, “They work directly with the researchers there is no middleman, no inbetween administrators they ask the researchers directly what they need and they directly fund that research for the year. About two babies every day are born with TSC that’s say one in six thousand, it’s more common than ALS in

Erica some afflicted with TSC have lived to be 95 and others don’t live to see their second birthday. “It depends on the care they receive and where the tumors decide to grow,” she said. Find out more at Bcureful.org.

Record crowd attends 4th Annual Kenai Peninsula Beer Festival

Craft brewing continues to grow as an industry of acclaim in Alaska and the Kenai Peninsula Beer Festival has become a statewide event for brewers and visitors. Saturday, August 9th saw a record crowd of over 1,400 turn out at the Soldotna Regional Sports Complex under cloudy rainy skies. 15 breweries plus four distributors from across the Great Land brought their latest and greatest creations to the 4th annual festival organized by the Rotary Club of Soldotna. “Our goal next year is to have every Alaskan brewery represented. The Peninsula Festival has been embraced by the beer community across the state and there is no shortage of festivals in Alaska, but we really strive to have our event

stand above the others as far as the quality of the event, the music, the food and a show case for the breweries. It’s a huge volunteer effort of the Soldotna Rotary Club,” said Dr. Matthew Pyhala event creator. Proceeds from the event go to local service projects to improve the community’s quality of live such as handicapped access to the Kenai River at Rotary Park and the Rotary assistance for transportation at Central Peninsula Hospital known as RAFT that helps local families in need when undergoing medical treatment according to Pyhala. When the People’s Choice ballot for favorite brewery and beer were tabulated by Rotarians it was the Negative 12 degree Quadruple craft Belgian

ale from the 49th State Brewing Co. of Healy, Alaska that won the coveted handmade trophy and commemorative tap handle for the best beer. For the third year in a row Kenai River Brewery was voted the People’s Choice for Favorite Brewery. “It’s a real honor to win this award three years in a row and I have to attribute a lot to our local clientele and the fantastic crew we have working with us. We hands down have the best crew at KRBC who take great pride in their work,” said owner Doug Hogue. KRBC offered 16 dif-

ferent beers for tasting at this year’s festival, “It’s great to see the number breweries that are in the state of Alaska considering our small population and every one of them make an excellent product. I have never had a bad beer that is made in the State of Alaska. The festival gives a chance to showcase a variety of our new unique beers and get feedback on how tastes are evolving from the public,” added Hogue. Alaska Cab Service offered over 140 discounted cab rides after the festival closed at 10:00pm, “I’m a Rotarian and

it’s important to us that everyone who comes to the festival has fun and a safe ride home,” said Brent Hibbert owner of AK Cab who personally ran the cab station. The fun continued as the rain fell and by 8:00pm the event was sold out, having to turn away nearly 100 folks according to Pyhala. “We’ll be encouraging folks to get their tickets in advance next year so that won’t happen. They will be available at all local breweries and on line. It’s hard to have to turn people away, but we want everyone to enjoy the festival and not be overcrowded. We

had folks from 18 different states check in and over 50% of the crowd were visitors to the Peninsula,” he said. Along with Kenai River Brewing Co. all five Peninsula Breweries were on hand including Homer Brewing Co., Seward Brewing Co., St. Elias Brewery in Soldotna and Kassik’s Brewery of Nikiski.

Fishing stories abound as Wounded Heroes land at Centennial Park.

Sen. Peter Micciche greets Wounded Heroes at banquet in their honor.

Wounded Heroes bring in silvers during the thank you for your Wounded Heroes volunteers serve dinner to those serving their country. service fishing weekend.

Wounded Heroes enjoy a weekend of fishing & fun on the Kenai River Several years ago some of the Kenai River Professional Guides started the first Wounded Warriors fishing event on the Kenai River. Working with Joint Base Elmendorf/Richardson (JBER) to bring wounded service men and women coming home a chance to have a guided fishing trip on the Kenai River. With the decline of the king salmon runs Dave Goggia and Mike Fenton decided to move the event up to August when the silver and pink salmon would be plentiful in the river. Mike Fenton is now the president of the new Kenai River Foundation and Dave Goggia heads up the Wounded Heroes event. “The name has changed but the event is the same. It’s the ambiance of the Kenai River that provides the magnificent experience no matter what you’re fishing for,” said Goggia, “There are some healing qualities sitting in a boat on the majestic Kenai fishing with your buddies and these soldiers really appreciate it. One guy from Tennessee last year told one of our sponsors that he had been home bound for five months and wouldn’t leave the house until he got invited on this trip and he said it changed his whole life. Those are the guys who bring tears to your eyes and that’s what the event is all about,” he said. It was silvers and pinks a plenty for the 77 some participants who were on the river this year with the professional guides who donated their time and resources to the event sponsored by the Kenai River Foundation. “Those humpies provided a real treat for the guys today

along with a few silvers and still a few sockeye but overall the fishing was great,” added Goggia. “It doesn’t get any better than this, it’s what keeps some of us older guides going. To give someone the thrill of catching their first fish. One of the troops today said he’d been fishing in Alaska six different times but today was the first day he had caught a fish and he was all smiles. It’s great to give that experience to these guys who put themselves in harm’s way for us,” said Fenton. The main sponsors of the event this year included the Central Peninsula Hospital, Alaska Elks Association, BP, and Semen’s. Alaska balladeer Hobo Jim provided entertainment at the banquet where 12 lucky soldiers went home with sports rifles compliments of the Kenai River Foundation sponsors. The following day the soldiers were back on the river early in the morning catching silvers until the final barbeque at Centennial Park and trip back to base Saturday afternoon. “We’re already making plans for next year,” said Fenton “Anyone wanting to get involved can learn more at our website kenairiverfoun- AK Balladeer Hobo Jim delights Wounded Heroes at fishing banquet. dation.org.

Triumvirate Theatre Soldotna takes final curtain call Saturday, August 9th was the final curtain call for the Triumvirate Theatre players in Soldotna at their original home in the Peninsula Center Mall. Triumvirate founder and director Joe Rizzo used the occasion for a walk down memory lane and a replay of the first Triumvirate performance in 2005, “I took the original script of the first play we ever presented in this theatre which was Dandelion Wine by Ray Bradbury and I gave the kids the first six lines of the play and had them recite those as a tip of the hat to the days of our beginnings when there was nothing but folding chairs in here,” recalled Rizzo in an interview with the Dispatch on closing night. “When I think of some of the great moments that have come in this little space I recall when we did a silly play called ‘Top Chum’ which was a take-off on the movie ‘Top Gun.’ We did as a dinner theatre at Mykel’s but put on an extra performance here as a benefit for a cast member’s brother who had cancer and we packed the place and it became a very magical night with a lot of laughter while emotionally touching for the family as we raised a bunch of money. So when I think back about the things we have done

in this space it’s those shows that it has really been all about. Helping the community, helping people and helping kids learn self-confidence while taking direction on stage,” said Rizzo. Several years ago Delana Duncan joined Triumvirate and used the space to teach music and voice while directing shows for Rizzo. “My first experience at Triumvirate was with my church using the theatre for the show Matrix which was funny skits and puppets I was twelve years old and I remember doing that program here and just loving this theatre. Then about a year and a half ago I returned from college and started teaching out of here and it’s been a great experience to have Joe Rizzo as a mentor to help me develop my business of music lessons. It’s been wonderful to teach here and have concerts here and to now move up into acting and directing here. It’s helped me grow as a person,” said Duncan. Delana will continue to teach music lessons from her home and continue to be involved with Triumvirate and some of their new shows coming up that will be performed at the Triumvirate North Theatre on the North Rd. just outside Kenai. “I’m going

to L.A. in a few weeks to attend a two month long acting school and then I’ll be back and ready to roll on some more plays with our local talent,” she said. Information about Triumvi-

going to be ‘Lamb Ducks & Dark Horses’ which is our local political satire show that is very popular and folks have a lot of fun, but when I was talking about our original cast and the

first performance tonight which was directed by Carla Jenness, she was already out in the audience balling which made it difficult for me not get a bit teary eyed,” confessed Rizzo.
