In the news 4 critically injured in North Slope plane crash

ANCHORAGE (AP) — Alaska State Troopers say that four people were critically injured in a plane crash Sunday near the summit of Atigun Pass in the northern part of the state.

Troopers say Alyeska Pipeline Service Company security guards first reported the crash about 1:45 p.m.

Alaska State Troopers spokeswoman Beth Ipsen says the plane was reported to have crashed near mile 243.5 of the Dalton Highway.

The four injured are believed to have been the only people onboard.

The Alaska Dispatch News reports that it’s unclear if the injured passengers had been taken to a hospital Sunday evening. Ipsen says the crash happened in the North Slope Borough.

Clint Johnson, the head of the National Transportation Safety Board’s Anchorage office, says the agency is investigating.

Correction In Friday’s story entitled, “Hunters advised to know regulations before taking shot” the date of a public hearing was incorrect. The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service will hold a public hearing on a proposed temporary closure of sport hunting of brown bears on the Kenai National Wildlife Refuge Wednesday from 6-9 p.m. at the Soldotna Regional Sports Complex on Kalifornsky Beach Road. The Clarion regrets the error.

Vessel name honors slide victims

Taking it up a level KPC RAs build on experience

By KAYLEE OSOWSKI Peninsula Clarion

By KELLY SULLIVAN Peninsula Clarion

For the second year of Kenai Peninsula College Residence Hall resident advisor training, Associate Director of Residence Life Tammie Willis refined the series of exercises to meet the level of her advanced staff.

Five of six RAs are returning, and the newest addition worked at the front desk last year, Willis said. After working in residence life as the first staff members at the one-yearold residence hall, the courses for the second round of training required some tweaking and specialization.

The twelve days of training began August 8 with a six-hour instruction course on CPR. The awareness of this group is more advanced than the standard training covers for topics in relation to diversity, Willis said. They were hired already able to think on this higher level, she said.

Willis said she constructed exercises aimed at helping the group identify the social issues they are most interested in and translating that into programs within the residence hall to assist other students in handling the specific demographics found in their peers KPC. She said two very specific ma-

A few months ago, a major event changed Natasha Huestis’ life.

On March 22, a mudslide near Oso, Washington, claimed the lives of Huestis’ daughter and mother.

Huestis’ story received national and worldwide media attention followed by an influx of sympathetic emails and Facebook messages as well as some not-so-desirable messages and queries.

One person who reached out to Huestis was Gemey Glover, who lives in Marysville, Washington, which is south of Arlington, Washington, where Huestis lived with her mother, step-father and daughter.

Glover put Huestis in touch with her son, Steve Attleson owner of ATEC Marine, located along Kalifornsky Beach Road.

His business recently completed a 56-foot boat.

During most of the year it took to construct the vessel, Attleson planned to name the boat after his mom, and, at first, Attleson said she was excited about the idea. A week later Glover called her son back and suggested that instead he do something to honor the searchers and victims of the mudslide.

“And I thought, ‘Ya know, that is a better idea,’” he said.

So he asked Huestis how she See VESSEL, page A-8

Coast Guard breaks ground on new housing

By JULIE HERMANN Kodiak Daily Mirror

KODIAK (AP) — U.S. Sen. Lisa Murkowski helped break ground for a new Coast Guard Base Kodiak housing facility.

Vice Admiral Charles Ray, the commander of the Coast Guard Pacific Area; Captain Jeffrey Westling, the commander of Coast Guard Base Kodiak and Lars Wagner, the housing project manager, joined in shoveling the dirt earlier this month.

Admiral Paul Zukunft, the commandant of the entire Coast Guard, was planning to attend the ground breaking as well, however, he was sick and unable to make it.

“With consistent occupancy of base housing at or near 99

percent, and limited three-bedroom housing units available for rent on the local economy, the construction of these new housing units is crucial for taking care of our families and maintaining frontline operational readiness,” Westling said.

There are 406 other family housing units owned by the Coast Guard, and the new housing will add 10 duplexes, 20 three-bedroom homes, to that number.

Tutor Perini Corporation, a general contractor, was awarded the contract for the building.

It will cost $19.6 million and is expected to be completed in fall 2016, Westling said.

Not only is housing needed for current families, Westling expects an increase in personnel in the future.

“Currently, we have a deficit in the housing that we do need for existing families, but with the Coast Guard’s continued commitment to Alaska and the 17th Coast Guard district, we’re expecting to continue to see an increase in Coast Guard presence,” Westling said.

It’s a large project and it’s the only place new housing is being built for the Coast Guard.

“It should demonstrate to you all that are here serving in Kodiak and doing some dangerous work and some hard work and most of you are a long ways from the rest of your family, how important we think Kodiak is,” Ray said. “There won’t be another new anything that approaches this in the Coast Guard in the next two or three years.”

A Kenai man arrested by Alaska State Troopers in July on three counts of sexual abuse of a minor has been indicted on two additional sexual abuse charges committed against two additional victims.

On Friday the Kenai Grand Jury charged Keith Roscoe

berly, run The Vault coffee shop in Valley City, a town of about 6,700 people that’s about 45 minutes from Fargo. They renovated a nearly 100-year-old bank building and cut down on overhead by cutting out baristas.

The food and drink is located on a refurbished teller counter at the front of the shop. Coffee lovers can choose java from a commercial brewer, complete with gourmet creams and flavorings, or individual servings from a Keurig brewing system, or K-Cups. There also are soft drinks and homemade pastries.

This unusual setup has given customers a sense of ownership, helped revitalize the city’s downtown — and, in the first 10 months of the business, brought in about 15 percent more money than the asking price.

“I think that people who

haven’t grown up in a small, tight-knit community like this are very surprised by honesty,” Brekke said.

The Vault’s customers can pay by credit card, cash or check. There’s a note below the cash slot that says “No. I.O.U.s.” Another placard notes that exact change is not necessary ... “round down and give yourself a break or round up and help us stay in business.”

Yes, there are security cameras, but so far there hasn’t been much to view, Brekke said.

Brekke has turned the space with high ceilings, mammoth windows and unique architecture into a gallery of sorts. It features artwork by local artists, used books for sale, two pianos, Wi-Fi and a cupboard with games. Much of the furniture was donated by residents.

Winemakers cleaning up after earthquake

By KEN SWEET and ELLEN KNICKMEYER Associated Press

NAPA, Calif. — Winemakers in California’s storied Napa Valley woke up to thousands of broken bottles and barrels as a result of Sunday’s earthquake.

The earthquake couldn’t have come at a worse time for the region, which has just started harvesting the 2014 crop.

“It’s devastating. I’ve never seen anything like this,” said Tom Montgomery, a winemaker for B.R. Cohn Winery in Glen Ellen, California.

The epicenter of the 6.0-magnitude earthquake that struck Northern California, the strongest in the area in 25 years, was just six miles southwest of Napa, California, the center of California’s winemaking region.

B.R. Cohn lost “as much as 50 percent” of its wine, Montgomery said. The winery focuses on high-end, single estate wines that retail between $40 and $100 a bottle.

At Dahl Vineyards in Yountville, California, a rack full of wine barrels was teetering and in danger of coming down. One barrel containing $16,000 worth of pinot noir fell and was lost as a result of the quake. The own-

ers were trying to save the rest, removing the barrels with a forklift. Elsewhere in the region, red wine stains were visible outside the doors of a warehouse — indicating there was damage inside.

As one moves further from the quake’s epicenter, other wineries reported more modest damage.

In Oakville, Silver Oak Winery lost “a couple hundred bottles” of wine, said Ian Leggat, a spokesman for Silver Oak, as well as three barrels full of wine. Most of the product damaged at Silver Oak was single-vineyard wines the winery uses for testing. None of the wines sold to consumers were damaged in the quake, Leggat said.

Even the wine in barrels that wasn’t damaged by the quake may have problems, however, because wines aging in barrels are supposed to be kept as still as possible, Montgomery said.

Napa is California’s bestknown winemaking region.

While it produces only 4 percent of California’s total wine crop, Napa’s wines are considered among the best in the world and sell for a premium price. The Napa Valley does $50 billion in economic activity a year, or roughly a quarter of wine industry for the entire U.S., according to Napa Valley Vinters.

Actor Richard Attenborough dies at 90

By GREGORY KATZ and JAKE COYLE Associated Press

LONDON — Richard Attenborough was a lord, an Oscar-winning director for the much-lauded “Gandhi” and an unflagging pillar to British cinema. But Attenborough, who died Sunday at 90, was best known as Dickie.

Baby-faced as a young actor and whitely bearded in his older age, Attenborough — warmly known as “Dickie Darling” — presided over six decades of British moviemaking as both an actor and filmmaker with a genial warmth that endeared him to his fans and fellow actors.

“I have no great interest in being remembered as a great creative filmmaker,” he told The New York Times when “Gandhi” was released in 1982. “I want to be remembered as a storyteller.”

The actor’s son, Michael Attenborough told the BBC that his father died Sunday. He had been in poor health for some time.

Prime Minister David Cameron issued a statement calling Attenborough “one of the greats of cinema”: “His acting in ‘Brighton Rock’ was brilliant, his directing of ‘Gandhi’ was stunning,” Cameron said.

Ben Kingsley, who shot to stardom for his performance as Mahatma Gandhi, recalled Attenborough’s passionate 20-year

struggle to bring Gandhi’s story to the big screen. The film won eight Oscars, including best picture (over “E.T.”), best director for Attenborough and best actor for Kingsley.

“He placed in me an absolute trust and in turn I placed an absolute trust in him and grew to love him,” said Kingsley. “I along with millions of others whom he touched through his life and work will miss him dearly.”

A product of the Royal Academy of Dramatic Art, Attenborough made his screen debut in the patriotic 1942 World War II film “In Which We Serve.”

He served, too, in the Royal Air Force, and afterward became one of the best-known actors of postWar Britain.

In his 60-plus years of acting, he amassed some 70 credits, including “Brighton Rock,” ‘’The Great Escape,” ‘’Doctor Dolittle,” ‘’10 Rillington Place,” ‘’Jurassic Park” (as the failed theme park developer) and the 1994 remake of “Miracle on 34th Street.” (Naturally, he played Kris Kringle.)

He transitioned into directing beginning with 1969’s World War I musical comedy “Oh! What a Lovely War.” He directed 12 films altogether, including “A Bridge Too Far,” ‘’A Chorus Line,” ‘’Cry Freedom,” ‘’Chap-

lin” and “Shadowlands.”

Attenborough was a constant advocate for the British film industry as well as other humanitarian causes, including his extensive work as a goodwill ambassador for UNICEF. He was awarded the Martin Luther King Jr. Peace Prize in 1983.

He was knighted in 1976, and 17 years later received a life peerage, becoming Baron Attenborough of Richmond upon Thames.

The son of a university principal, Attenborough was born Aug. 29, 1923, into a family with strong liberal views and a tradition of volunteer work for humanitarian concerns. One of his younger brothers is naturalist David Attenborough, whose nature documentaries have reached audiences around the world.

A small, energetic man with a round face that remained boyish even in old age, he was perfectly cast at the start of his career as the young sailor or airman of British movies during and after World War II. In his 1942 film debut as a terrified warship’s crewman in “In Which We Serve,” a 19-year-old Attenborough made a small part into one of the most memorable roles in the movie, which won the Best Picture Oscar.

In 1947, Attenborough gave one of the best performances of his career as the teenage thug Pinkie in “Brighton Rock,” the film version of Graham Greene’s novel.

He appeared as a prisoner of war in 1963’s “The Great Escape” — known for its classic

ensemble cast, including Steve McQueen, James Coburn and Charles Bronson — and starred in “Guns at Batasi,” for which he won another British Film Academy award. In 1967, he won a Golden Globe for Best Supporting Actor in “The Sand Pebbles.”

In 1969, Attenborough turned to directing with “Oh What a Lovely War,” a lampoon of World War I, which won a Golden Globe award as best English-language foreign film. Three years later, he made “Young Winston,” the story of Winston Churchill’s early life.

He is survived by his wife, their son and a daughter.

What Others Say

USA Freedom Act a testimony to informed public debate A little more than a year after for-

mer National Security Agency contractor Edward Snowden revealed that the federal government was collecting and storing the telephone records of millions of Americans, Congress is poised to end the program and provide significant protection for a broad range of personal information sought by government investigators.

Sen. Patrick Leahy (D-Vt.), the chairman of the Senate Judiciary Committee, has proposed a version of the bill that is significantly more protective of privacy than one passed by the House in May. Like the House bill, Leahy’s proposal would end the NSA’s bulk collection of telephone “metadata” — information about the source, destination and duration of phone calls that investigators can “query” in search of possible connections to foreign terrorism.

But the Senate version, worked out in negotiations with the White House and civil liberties groups, imposes stricter limits on the search terms used to obtain not only phone data but other records as well. For example, the bill makes it clear that the government may not use a search term that would collect all information relating to a particular service provider or a broad geographic region denoted by a ZIP Code or area code.

Finally, the bill provides for the declassification and publication “to the greatest extent practicable” of opinions by the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Court and its appellate arm, the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Court of Review.

Important as it is, the Leahy bill addresses in only minor ways the collection of information about Americans as a byproduct of the electronic surveillance targeting foreigners living abroad. Unlike the collection of telephone metadata, these activities capture the actual contents of phone conversations, emails and social media postings, meaning that if an American is in contact with a friend or relative abroad, his private musings can be swept up in the electronic dragnet. That creates the possibility of “backdoor” surveillance of Americans without the individual warrants required by the 4th Amendment.

A panel appointed by President Obama recommended that information about Americans incidentally collected in foreign surveillance be “purged upon detection” unless it has foreign intelligence value or is necessary to prevent harm to others. Information about a U.S. citizen or permanent resident couldn’t be used in a legal proceeding against him, under another proposal by the panel.

For all its limitations, the USA Freedom Act is a testimony to the importance of informed public debate.

Against the Ferguson mob

The chant “No justice, no peace” is an apt rallying cry for Ferguson, Missouri, where protesters don’t truly want justice and there has been no peace.

What justice demands in the case of the shooting of 18-year-old Michael Brown by Officer Darren Wilson in disputed circumstances is a full and fair deliberative process that goes wherever the evidence leads.

But is anyone marching so that Wilson can go free if the facts don’t support charging him?

No, the demand is for him to be arrested immediately and to be prosecuted no matter what. This is noxious. Just because there is a mob on the streets, as well as on the Internet and TV, braying for a rush to judgment doesn’t mean we need mob justice.

Ferguson has been angry and grieving, and the rallies and prayer vigils during daytime hours are natural and commendable. The confrontations with the police, the rock-throwing and gunshots, the looting and Molotov cocktails, are not. They are self-indulgent, self-destructive and (given the fate of a few businesses set on fire) literally self-immolating.

There has been an effort to shift moral responsibility for this mayhem from the protesters to the police. There is no doubt that the police have acted appallingly at times (there is never any justification for pointing weapons at peaceful protesters), but at the end of the day, they are simply attempting to restore order.

Letters to the Editor Borough actions on K-Beach flooding prudent As I drove home from a meeting at the Kenai River Center on Tuesday evening my thoughts were that what I experienced there was the best I can recall in a long time coming from any meeting including government, any government. I applaud the fact that Mayor Navarre came to this meeting, called by the Borough to discuss the K-Beach area flooding issue, loaded for bear, if you will.

There were at least a dozen individuals from various Borough departments and other agencies prepared to share their expertise, provide opinions and field questions from the public. It was apparent to me that these folks had done their homework, that they know their business and have been addressing the flooding issue since the high ground water events of last fall.

I particularly appreciated info shared by the Borough’s legal department that explained the Borough role in the subdividing of land, the legal confines the Borough must operate within and options that we citizens and land owners might consider, say a vote for a special service area and additional taxes to fund it. I took special note of historical information shared by a hydrologist, with a PHD no less, that suggests that our bench (my choice in words) running from the Kenai Mountains west to Cook Inlet has been a drainage area of some sort for decades and decades and decades, perhaps for millennia. In responding to a question of the viability of numerous pump stations to address high water tables I found sobering the response by one that a reasonable start in that consideration would be to decide if we simply could and would afford the costs of electricity to run such pumps. We can not and should not.

Be it an optimum or a pleasant solution or not, it is my opinion that we as land owners in this area should buck up and admit that we bought land adjacent to a huge area of wetlands and even areas maybe not designated as wetlands but that are significantly wet C

M

Y

K

Initially, we were told the police were “provoking” otherwise civil protesters with their military posture. When, in response to this criticism, the cops backed off almost entirely, looters ransacked lo- Rich Lowry cal businesses at will and even firebombed the Domino’s Pizza.

Perhaps they took the “no peace” thing too seriously.

One night, MSNBC anchor Chris Hayes got to briefly feel what it’s like to be a cop or an innocent business owner in Ferguson when a couple of rocks were pointlessly thrown at him while he was on the air. Hayes brushed the whole thing off as people being very angry.

Yes, but why are they angry at Hayes?

His ready explanation for the rock-throwing recalls the old saw about how a liberal is someone who won’t take his own side in a fight.

To their credit, the overwhelming majority of the protesters are peaceful, and many of them have tried to restrain a lawless fringe. But one of the reasons we have police is to control such a fringe.

It took about a week of looting before people began to seriously wonder what was accomplished by milling around on the streets and sidewalks at night and yell-

much of the year. We need to deal with our issues as individuals and as neighbors and not spend needless time and energy looking outside of our own spheres for a silver bullet if you will. No one coerced me to buy near wetlands. A large consideration on my part was the inexpensive nature (or so maybe I thought) of my purchase. If after naturally occurring events my costs to maintain my lifestyle on my land go up, well, maybe a bit for foresight prior to purchase would of been in order.

We will get through this people. To think that we can or should attempt to subdue this large ecosystem for the benefit of a relatively small portion of the Borough population is ill advised. To think that we could then do the same as other wet Borough areas of “need” pop up, and they will, would be sheer folly.

This citizen feels the Borough has and is acting prudently and effectively on this issue given the confines so easily recognizable. I think the Borough Mayor’s sense of fiduciary responsibility is spot on in this matter.

He’ll get my vote in the weeks ahead.

Thanks for listening.

Denial of transfer agreement limits patients’ options After a long battle with bureaucrats, the Surgery Center of Kenai recently opened its doors. The Surgery Center could offer medical care to Medicare/Medicaid and Tri-Care patients at significant savings over Central Peninsula Hospital. In addition, the Surgery Center could save seniors over 40 percent in co-payments. Medicare/ Medicaid and Tri-Care will not reimburse for services unless the Surgery Center is issued a transfer agreement from Central Peninsula Hospital.

The Surgery Center physicians, individually, have been caring for Medicare/ Medicaid and Tri-Care (military) patients for years. However, as a Surgery Center, Medicare/Medicaid/Tri-Care requires the center to have a “transfer agreement” with Central Peninsula Hospital. Central Peninsula Hospital refused to issue the transfer

ing at cops anyway.

You get the feeling that the enormous emotional investment in Ferguson from almost everyone on the left reflects a nostalgia for the truly heroic phase of the civilrights movement.

They (most of them, at least) can never be Freedom Riders, but they can write blog posts complaining that the police gear in Ferguson looks scary. They can never register voters in the Jim Crow South, but they can tweet pictures of tear-gas canisters going off. They can never march over the Edmund Pettus Bridge circa 1965, but they can do some cable hits.

Ferguson is all they’ve got, so it must be spun up into a national crisis — our Gaza, our apartheid — to increase the moral drama.

The whole world is supposed to be watching. Presumably, though, the world has better things to do than watch what are, in the scheme of things (and up to this point), relatively minor clashes between police and a handful of protesters.

Even if Officer Wilson executed Michael Brown in cold blood, he would be one murderously bad cop, not an indictment of the entire American system of justice.

If he acted in legitimate self-defense, on the other hand, he shouldn’t be jailed or charged. That would be justice, but given what we’ve seen from Ferguson so far, it would not bring peace.

agreement. Alaska Regional and Providence offered the surgery center a transfer agreement, but Medicare requires that one be granted by a ‘local’ hospital.

Central Peninsula Hospital is owned by the Kenai Peninsula Borough and theoretically takes direction from the Mayor and Assembly. CEO Rick Davis of Central Peninsula Hospital has refused to sign the transfer agreement.

The refusal by Davis to sign a transfer agreement, is an outright denial of medical care choice, to senior citizens and veterans.

Physicians who are willing to serve senior, Medicaid and veteran patients are directly being told no! CPH will determine which doctor and hospital seniors and veterans will use.

These are not doctors, making your medical decisions. These are government bureaucrats deciding your medical fate.

When questioned about his concern for community access to medical choice at the Aug. 5 Assembly meeting, by Assemblyman Ogle, Davis said that he is not concerned about the community, he works for the hospital.

Senior citizens throughout the United States are being denied access to their choice of medical care services and doctors, as a result of $550 million in cuts to Medicare providers initiated and approved by the current administration. At the same time, Medicare administrators are being encouraged to reduce costs in order to extend the solvency of the program. Doctors are beginning to turn away Medicare patients. These are facts.

It is a dangerous and frightening leap into the world of rationed medical care, if we allow bureaucrats to decide the medical care we receive. This must be corrected immediately, or like a disease, will spread.

Alaskan residents and legislators across the state please stand up. Contact Mr. Davis, CEO CPH; KPB Mayor Mike Navarre and the CPH Board of Directors. Demand the right to make your own medical choices. Demand that your fellow KPB seniors and military keep the right to choose their own doctor.

Strong Calif. quake shakes wine country

Around the World US says American held in Syria for nearly 2 years by al-Qaida-linked group has been freed WASHINGTON — An American journalist kidnapped and held hostage for nearly two years by an al-Qaida-linked group in Syria was released Sunday, less than a week after the horrific execution of American journalist James Foley by Islamic militants.

The freed American is 45-year-old Peter Theo Curtis of Massachusetts, who wrote under the byline Theo Padnos.

White House national security adviser Susan Rice said Curtis is now safe outside of Syria. Secretary of State John Kerry said Curtis was held by Jabhat al-Nusra, also known as the Nusra Front, an al-Qaida-linked militant group fighting the government of Syrian President Bashar Assad.

Curtis was not believed to be among the hostages held by the Islamic State group that executed Foley. Islamic State was formally disavowed by al-Qaida earlier this year after being deemed too brutal.

Rebels parade captive Ukrainian soldiers on streets of Donetsk as citizens hurl eggs DONETSK, Ukraine — To shouts of “Fascists!” and “Hang them from a tree!” captured Ukrainian soldiers were paraded through the streets of the rebel stronghold of Donetsk on Sunday as bystanders pelted them with eggs and tomatoes.

The spectacle of the bruised and filthy soldiers being marched hands bound and surrounded by gun-toting pro-Russian insurgents came as Ukrainians in Kiev celebrated their country’s independence from the Soviet Union — a stark display of the growing divisions between east and west.

While support and mobilization for Kiev’s campaign against the separatists has grown in many parts of the country, resentments fester in much of the east, where civilian casualties and shelling have become a part of daily life.

Illustrating the divisions, an ostentatious procession of tanks and weaponry rumbled through downtown Kiev to mark Ukraine’s 23rd anniversary of independence from Moscow — a highly publicized event accompanied by speeches and a vow

by President Petro Poroshenko to boost defense spending to defeat the rebels.

In Donetsk, thousands gathered in the main square as the insurgents staged their own spectacle mocking the national army.

To jeers and catcalls, dozens of captive soldiers, some wearing tattered Ukrainian military uniforms and some in torn and dirty civilian clothing, were forced to march past as nationalistic Russian songs blared from loudspeakers. They were flanked by rebels pointing bayoneted rifles.

Egypt’s top Islamic authority says extremist group not an ‘Islamic State’

C

CAIRO — The top Islamic authority in Egypt, revered by many Muslims worldwide, launched an Internet-based campaign Sunday challenging an extremist group in Syria and Iraq by saying it should not be called an “Islamic State.”

The campaign by the Dar el-Ifta, the top authority that advises Muslims on spiritual and life issues, adds to the war of words

by Muslim leaders across the world targeting the Islamic State group, which controls wide swaths of Iraq and Syria. Its violent attacks, including mass shootings, destroying Shiite shrines, targeting minorities and beheadings including American journalist James Foley, have shocked Muslims and non-Muslims alike.

The Grand Mufti of Egypt, Shawki Allam, previously said the extremists violate all Islamic principles and laws and described the group as a danger to Islam as a whole. Now, the Dar el-Ifta he oversees will suggest foreign media drop using “Islamic State” in favor of the “al-Qaida Separatists in Iraq and Syria,” or the acronym “QSIS,” said Ibrahim Negm, an adviser to the mufti.

This is part of a campaign that “aims to correct the image of Islam that has been tarnished in the West because of these criminal acts, and to exonerate humanity from such crimes that defy natural instincts and spreads hate between people,” Negm said according to Egypt’s state news agency MENA. “We also want to reaffirm that all Muslims are against these practices which violate the tolerant principles of Islam.”

Egypt’s President Abdel-Fattah el-Sissi said the extremist group is part of a plot aiming to “undermine Islam as a belief.”

Palestinian president prepares new UN statehood appeal for after Gaza war RAMALLAH, West Bank — Aides to the Palestinian president said Sunday that he will soon appeal to the international community to set a deadline for Israel to end its occupation of lands captured in the 1967 Mideast war and make way for an independent Palestinian state.

President Mahmoud Abbas was expected to unveil his proposal as part of a “day after” plan following the current war in the Gaza Strip, likely at a meeting of the Palestinian leadership on Tuesday, said the aides, who spoke on condition of anonymity because the plan has not yet been made public.

Abbas is plotting his move even as the fighting continues to rage. Israel’s prime minister, Benjamin Netanyahu, warned Sunday that the 7-week-old military campaign in Gaza would stretch into September — despite growing anger among residents in southern Israel over the military’s inability to halt rocket and mortar fire out of the Palestinian territory following the death of a 4-year-old Israeli boy over the weekend.

In new fighting Sunday, the Israeli air force flattened a sevenfloor office building and severely damaged a shopping center in southern Gaza, signaling a new escalation.

Palestinian officials said 13 people were killed in Israeli airstrikes, bringing the death toll to more than 2,100 Palestinians since fighting erupted on July 8. Sixty-eight Israelis have also died, all but four of them soldiers.

Michael Brown’s father asks for ‘day of silence’ as he prepares to lay his son to rest ST. LOUIS — The father of a black 18-year-old shot to death by a white police officer in Ferguson pleaded Sunday for a “day of silence” as he lays his son to rest Monday.

“Tomorrow all I want is peace,” Michael Brown Sr. told hundreds of people in St. Louis’ largest city park during brief remarks at a festival that promotes peace over violence. “That’s all I ask.”

The more than two weeks since Michael Brown’s death have been marked by nightly protests, some violent and chaotic, although tensions have eased in recent days.

Brown Sr. told the crowd that he and his son’s mother appreciate the love and support they’ve received from the community. The Rev. Al Sharpton, who will speak at the funeral, echoed his request for peace.

NAPA, Calif. — The San Francisco Bay Area’s strongest earthquake in 25 years struck the heart of California’s wine country early Sunday, igniting gas-fed fires, damaging some of the region’s famed wineries and historic buildings, and sending dozens of people to hospitals.

The magnitude-6.0 quake, centered near the city of Napa, an oasis of Victorian-era buildings nestled in the vineyard-studded hills of northern California, ruptured water mains and gas lines, hampering firefighters’ efforts to extinguish the blazes that broke out after the temblor struck at 3:20 a.m.

Dazed residents who had run out of their homes in the dark and were too fearful of aftershocks to go back to bed wandered through Napa’s historic downtown, where boulder-sized chunks of rubble and broken glass littered the streets. Dozens of homes and buildings across the Napa Valley were left unsafe to occupy, including an old county courthouse, where a 10-foot wide hole opened a view of the offices inside.

College student Eduardo Rivera said the home he shares with six relatives shook so violently that he kept getting knocked back into his bed as he tried to flee.

“When I woke up, my mom was screaming, and the sound

from the earthquake was greater than my mom’s screams,” the 20-year-old Rivera said.

Gov. Jerry Brown declared a state of emergency for southern Napa County, directing state agencies to respond with equipment and personnel. President Barack Obama was briefed on the earthquake, the White House said, and federal officials were in touch with state and local emergency responders.

The temblor struck about six miles south of Napa and lasted 10 to 20 seconds, according to the United States Geological Survey. It was the largest to shake the San Francisco Bay Area since the magnitude-6.9 Loma Prieta quake struck in 1989, collapsing part of the Bay Bridge roadway and killing more than 60 people, most when an Oakland freeway collapsed.

Queen of the Valley Medical Center in Napa, where an outdoor triage tent was set up to handle the influx, reported treating 172 people in the emergency room, although hospital officials could not say how many of them were there for bruises and cuts suffered in the quake and how many for more routine injuries and illnesses.

Twelve people were admitted for broken bones, heart attacks and other problems directly related to the earthquake, including an adult who remained in critical condition on Sunday night and a

13-year-old boy.

The teen was hit by flying debris from a collapsed fireplace and had to be airlifted to the children’s hospital at the University of California Davis hospital for a neurological evaluation. He condition was listed as serious, hospital spokeswoman Phyllis Brown said.

Napa Fire Department Operations Chief John Callanan said the city had exhausted its own resources trying to extinguish at least six fires after 60 water mains ruptured, as well as transporting injured residents, searching homes and collapsed carports for anyone trapped and responding to 100 reports of leaking gas.

Two of the fires happened at mobile home parks, including the one where four homes were destroyed and two others damaged, Callanan said. A ruptured water main there delayed efforts to fight the blaze until pumper trucks could be brought in, he said.

Nola Rawlins, 83, was one of the Napa Valley Mobile Home Park residents left homeless by the fire. No one was injured in the blaze, but Rawlins said she lost all her jewelry, papers and other belongings.

“There were some explosions, and it was burning. Everybody was out in the street,” she said.

“I couldn’t get back in the house because they told everybody to go down to the clubhouse, so I didn’t get anything out of the

house.”

U.S. Rep. Mike Thompson, who represents Napa, said federal and state officials had conducted an aerial survey of the area, but they wouldn’t have a cost estimate for the damage until they can get on the ground and into buildings. He said that while Napa suffered the worst of it, there also was significant damage about 17 miles south on Mare Island in Vallejo, a former naval shipyard where a museum and historic homes were declared uninhabitable.

“It’s bad any way you calculate it. But it could have been a heck of a lot worse,” Thompson said.

While inspecting the shattered glass at her husband’s storefront office in downtown Napa, Chris Malloy described calling for her two children in the dark as the quake rumbled under the family’s home, tossing heavy pieces of furniture for several feet.

“It was shaking, and I was crawling on my hands and knees in the dark, looking for them,” the 45-year-old woman said, wearing flip flops on feet left bloodied from crawling through broken glass.

Sunday’s quake was felt widely throughout the region, with people reporting its effects more than 200 miles south of Napa and as far east as the Nevada border. Amtrak suspended service through the Bay area so tracks could be inspected.

Cristobal’s pelting rains lash southeast Bahamas

By EZEQUIEL ABIU LOPEZ and DAVID McFADDEN Associated Press

SANTO DOMINGO, Dominican Republic — Slowmoving Tropical Storm Cristobal lashed parts of the Bahamas and the Turks and Caicos Islands with heavy rainfall on Sunday, and one man died and two other people were earlier left missing when they were caught up by swollen rivers on the island shared by the Dominican Republic and Haiti.

The man who died was drowned when he tried to drive his pickup truck across a rushing river in the Dominican Republic’s Hato Mayor, a province northeast of the capital of Santo Domingo, said Juan Manuel Mendez, the country’s emergency operations director.

The two missing people were swept away late Saturday by a river that burst its banks in the western Haiti port town of Saint Marc. “We’re still looking for the bodies,” said Luckecy Mathieu, a civil protection coordinator.

The U.S. National Hurricane Center in Miami said Cristobal may strengthen into a hurricane later in the week over the open Atlantic. The storm’s center was expected to curve away from the U.S. East Coast.

Many residents in the sparsely populated southeastern Bahamas and the tiny British Caribbean dependency of the Turks and Caicos Islands hunkered down as Cristobal’s rains pelted windowpanes.

Capt. Stephen Russell, head of the Bahamas’ emergency management agency, said there had been no reports of damage.

Air traffic to the southeastern Bahamian islands had not been suspended, but sea vessels were advised to remain in port, he said.

Turks and Caicos Premier Rufus Ewing advised residents to remain indoors as much as possible because the island chain south of the Bahamas was still experiencing heavy rains and “extensive flooding in low-lying areas,” especially on Middle Caicos and North Caicos islands.

“The inclement weather is expected to linger for another 48 hours and the flooding is expected to worsen as a result,” Ewing said in a Sunday statement.

Cristobal, which formed as a tropical depression over the Turks and Caicos Islands on Saturday, is the fourth depression of the Atlantic hurricane season.

By late Sunday afternoon, the tropical storm had sustained winds near 45 mph (75 kph) and was located about 155 miles (250

2 Ebola deaths reported in Congo KINSHASA, Congo (AP) — Two Ebola-related deaths have been confirmed in Congo, the country’s health minister said Sunday, though local officials believe the cases are unrelated to the outbreak in West Africa that has killed more than 1,400 people.

Eight samples were taken from Djera, located in the Boende region of Congo’s northwest Equateur province, and two of them came back positive, Felix Kabange Numbi said on state television Sunday.

Congolese officials believe Ebola has killed 13 people in the region, including five health workers, Kabange said.

He said 11 people were sick and in isolation and that 80 contacts were being traced.

“This epidemic has nothing to do with the one in West Africa,” Kabange said.

This is the seventh outbreak of Ebola in Congo. The disease was first discovered there in 1976.

“The experience acquired during the six previous epidemics of Ebola will contribute to the containing of this illness,” Kabange said.

Boende is the region where the World Health Organization said an outbreak of hemorrhagic gastroenteritis has killed 70 people in recent weeks.

The WHO said last week those deaths were not Ebolarelated, but WHO spokesman Gregory Hartl said by email Sunday that the information was the result of “miscommunication from the field.”

Hartl said on Twitter that samples tested at a national laboratory were positive for Ebola and that the results of confirmation tests from a laboratory in Gabon would likely come back Monday.

He said it was possible the outbreak could be unrelated to the outbreak in West Africa, where a total of 2,615 infections and 1,427 deaths have been recorded in four countries -- Liberia, Guinea, Sierra Leone and Nigeria.

Djera, a collection of villages, is more than 1,200 kilometers (745 miles) from Congo’s capital, Kinshasa. It is more than 600 kilometers from the provincial capital, Mbandaka.

Kabange said Djera would be placed under quarantine.

kilometers) east-northeast of the Bahamas’ Long Island.

The rain-heavy storm was tracking north at about 8 mph (13 kph). U.S. forecasters said there should be a decrease in forward speed over the next couple of days, meaning Cristobal’s center is expected to move near to or east of the central Bahamas through Monday.

U.S. forecasters say lingering Cristobal could bring up to 8 inches (20 centimeters) of rain to the Turks & Caicos Islands and

southeastern and central Bahamas through Tuesday.

Before strengthening into a storm, it had downed several trees and power lines on Puerto Rico, leaving more than 23,500 people without power and 8,720 without water. There were a handful of reported landslides.

Police said in a statement that a small bridge collapsed Saturday in the central Puerto Rican town of Barranquitas, isolating some 25 families in the area. No one was injured.

Morin stays hot by winning Kenai Open

By JEFF HELMINIAK Peninsula Clarion

The healing of the shoulder can wait until winter. Homer’s Chris Morin has golf tournaments to win.

Morin followed up his victory in the Donald R. Morgan club championship on Aug. 16 and 17 with a win in the Kenai Open on Saturday and Sunday at Kenai Golf Course.

Morin had a two-day total of 14-over-par 158 to defeat Chris Murray by two strokes. Greg Harrington and Gordon Griffin tied for third at 166.

“My shoulder has been hurting my swing,” Morin said. “I’m going to have to work on my swing.

“I can’t stop playing golf. I will just

heal over the winter. There’s no time for injury right now.”

Morin said he normally plays a slice or draw, but lately the compensations he has made for the injury have him playing a hook.

But he has still been winning tournaments thanks to his short game and a tried-and-true mental strategy.

“I’ve been putting and chipping really well,” Morin said.

A good deal of that is because Morin hits the Homer Golf Course three to six days a week. The nine-hole, par3 course has holes ranging from 140 yards to 58 yards, so Morin’s short game gets an intensive workout on a daily basis.

“A quick round there takes an hour and a half,” he said. “It’s like going

Bradford tears left ACL again

By The Associated Press

ST. LOUIS — Jeff Fisher shared the bad news with Sam Bradford on Sunday morning.

By the time the St. Louis Rams coach began his day-after news conference, he’d had several hours to digest the impact of an injury that puts the team’s once-rosy outlook in serious doubt, and to give a vote of confidence to journeyman backup Shaun Hill.

After announcing Bradford’s season-ending torn ACL in his left knee for the second time in nine months, Fisher said speculation about a trade was premature.

At the least, they’ll likely wait to see who hits the market in the first round of cuts on Tuesday when rosters must be at 75 players.

“It makes no sense to jump and react right now and try to fill the hole at whatever cost,” Fisher said. “We’re going to take our time and evaluate this.

“There’s going to be some quarterbacks that are released and there may or may not be some quarterbacks out there that have trade value.”

Fisher confirmed the extent of the injury first reported by ESPN and the St. Louis PostDispatch. He said no timetable had been set for surgery.

“We lost Sam for the year,”

Fisher said. “The news was devastating to him.”

The coach quickly added that everyone at Rams Park must quickly become accustomed to the 34-year-old Hill running the offense.

“We’re going to move forward, we’re not going to change anything,” Fisher said. “We have to move on and Shaun’s the guy.”

In all, five starters were hurt in the first half against the Browns Saturday night. Fisher called it a “nightmare.”

Panthers’ Newton has hairline fracture in ribs CHARLOTTE, N.C. — Quarterback Cam Newton will miss the Carolina Panthers’ final preseason game after an MRI on Sunday revealed a hairline fracture in his ribs.

Panthers coach Ron Rivera said Newton will be evaluated at the end of the week, but expects the two-time Pro Bowl quarterback will be ready for Carolina’s Sept. 7 regular season opener against Tampa Bay. “I do” expect he’ll play, Rivera said. “But he has to get past the soreness. Then we will see how he starts to progress.”

Newton did not speak with reporters, but walked gingerly to and from the practice field.

Mahan wraps up Barclays crown DOUG FERGUSON AP Golf Writer

PARAMUS, N.J. — About the only thing that went wrong for Hunter Mahan at The Barclays was when the trophy broke.

All he had to show for perhaps the biggest win of his career was a large wreath of roses.

“Am I supposed to put this on, Kentucky Derby style?” he said.

That would have been fitting.

The closing stretch was exactly what he needed Sunday.

Mahan pulled away with three straight birdies, sealing the victory with a 20-foot putt down the slope on the par-5 17th. That allowed him a bogey from the trees on the final hole for a 6-under 65 and a two-shot victory in the opening FedEx Cup playoff event.

He already has two World Golf Championships. Considering the timing, The Barclays felt bigger.

Mahan had gone 48 tournaments and nearly 30 months since his last victory. The only player to never miss a FedEx Cup playoff event, he wanted to keep alive his streak of reaching the Tour Championship every year since this series began in 2007. And he wanted to state his case for a captain’s pick for the Ryder Cup team.

This performance will be hard for U.S. captain Tom Watson to ignore.

“To get a win in an event like this, and the timing that it was, it feels unbelievable,” Mahan said.

“This game is all about win-

ning,” he said. “You can have a great year and if you don’t win, it just feels like you missed out on something. So to get a win, and do it in a tournament like this in this kind of fashion with a 65 on Sunday, feels great.”

On a day when six players had at least a share of the lead, Mahan found a way to make it look like a comfortable win at Ridgewood.

He rolled in a 10-foot birdie putt to take the outright lead on the par-3 15th, hit wedge to 3 feet for a birdie on the 16th and then rolled in a 20-foot birdie on the par-5 17th. That stretched his lead to three shots going to the final hole when Cameron Tringale bogeyed the 18th.

Mahan tried to make it a little more exciting that he needed it to be. He drove into the trees on the right, pitched back to the fairway, pulled his approach into the rough and kept the outcome in doubt until he made the 8-foot bogey putt.

Jason Day, who shared the 54-hole lead with Jim Furyk, would have needed to hole out from the rough on the 18th to force a playoff and he missed the green. Day closed with a 68 and shared second place with Stuart Appleby (65) and Tringale, who celebrated his 27th birthday with a 66.

Furyk now has failed to win the last eight times he has held at least a share of the lead going into the final round. He was in the mix until missing the fairway on the 14th and taking bogey, and he wound up with a 70 to finish in eighth place, four shots behind.

for a workout. It is a workout, walking briskly up and down the hills.”

Morin’s mental strategy was to focus on each shot and not worry about where he was sitting on the leaderboard.

The strategy allowed Morin to nail a clutch, tourney-clinching birdie on No. 18 after losing a six-stroke lead to Murray over just six holes.

After firing a 79 on Saturday, Morin started Sunday with a one-shot lead on Murray.

Morin then played the front nine in 2-over-par 38 to take a three-shot lead into the back nine.

That lead grew to five shots after the par-3 No. 10, when Murray’s tee ball got buried under the lip of the bunker, leading to a double bogey. Murray also

bogeyed the par-3 Nos. 9 and 14 after hitting his tee shot in the sand.

Morin then birdied the par-5 11th for a six-shot lead over Murray. But Morin would play the next six holes at 7-over-par to allow Murray to tie him with a par at the par-4 17th.

“It went back and forth all day,” Murray said. “It was fun.”

At the par-4 18th, both Murray and Morin put their tee balls 136 yards from the green. The pin sat on the front of the green, but a large gorge separates the golfers from the green.

Murray fired first.

“I tried to kill a wedge,” he said.

He came up short and his ball trickled back down into the gorge.

Morin said he did not know how much was on the line with his shot be-

cause he wasn’t keeping track of his score in relation to Murray.

“I knew it was kind of close,” he said. “I saw that I was in front of him and that was my hunch. I thought I had him by a couple.”

He chose a 9-iron and eased it onto the green.

Murray chipped onto the green and had his 15-foot par putt lip out. Morin nailed his downhill, 15-foot birdie putt to clinch the tournament.

“Again, it was the one-stroke-ata-time mentality,” he said. “I read it right and put it right on line.”

Morin will play in the Bomar Cup at Palmer Golf Course on Saturday and Sunday. He may try and slip in another Kenai Golf Association event, See GOLF, page A-7

Sports Briefs Former player challenges NCAA settlement CHICAGO — A former San Diego State football player has asked a federal judge to reject the recently proposed $75 million settlement of a class-action lawsuit against the NCAA, saying it unfairly forces athletes who suffered head injuries to forfeit hundreds of millions of dollars in potential damages.

The request, which came in a late Friday filing in federal court in Chicago on behalf of Anthony Nichols, is the first in what’s likely to be a monthslong approval process to raise questions about the deal, under which the NCAA would create a $70 million fund to test thousands of current and former athletes for brain trauma. It also sets aside $5 million for research.

The filing zeroes in on a settlement provision that would require football, hockey, soccer and other contact-sport athletes to give up their rights to seek a single, potentially blockbuster sum in damages as a class. They can sue as individuals, but the filing says most couldn’t afford the legal costs and so won’t.

Bolt ends season early ZURICH — Usain Bolt has decided to end his injury-plagued season early, having competed in just three races in 2014.

Organizers for Thursday’s Diamond League meeting in Zurich said Sunday that Bolt had withdrawn from the event’s 100-meter race and will not compete again this season. The decision comes a day after the Olympic champion and world record-holder won a 100 race in Warsaw, Poland, clocking 9.98 seconds.

The statement said Bolt’s coach Glen Mills “feels it is now time to shut it down while he is healthy and injury free with a view on his preparations for the 2015 season.”

Bolt’s preparations for the season were disrupted by a foot injury and his only other appearances in 2014 were in the 4x100 relay for Jamaica at the Commonwealth Games in Glasgow and a 100 exhibition race in Rio de Janeiro.

Dixon wins IndyCar event at Sonoma SONOMA, Calif. — Scott Dixon surged ahead with three laps left for a victory at Sonoma Raceway on Sunday, while IndyCar points leader Will Power recovered from a mid-race spin to finish 10th heading to the season finale. Power leads teammate Helio Castroneves by 51 points heading to the double-points finale at Fontana on Saturday. Castroneves struggled to an 18th-place finish at Sonoma. Simon Pagenaud is 81 points back in third after a thirdplace finish on a wild day in wine country.

Dixon is out of the race to defend his 2013 title, but he grabbed his 35th win after leader Graham Rahal was forced to pit for gas with four laps left. Dixon slid inside Mike Conway for the lead and held on for Target Chip Ganassi Racing, moving him into a fifthplace tie with Bobby Unser for career victories on the circuit.

South Korea nabs Little League World Series RUSTY MILLER AP Sports Writer

SOUTH WILLIAMSPORT, Pa. — In the giddy moments after South Korea won the Little League World Series, outfielder Don Wan Sin realized how he wanted to celebrate.

“I want to go to the Blue House — the White House of Korea — and meet the President,” Sin said, breaking up his teammates.

Just maybe Sin, who scored twice and hit a solo homer, will indeed get his wish to meet Park Geun-hye.

He’s famous back in his homeland — along with all of his teammates.

Jae Yeong Hwang drove in two runs and combined with Hae Chan Choi, who weathered a late Chicago rally, to lead the Asia-Pacific Region champions to an 8-4 win in Sunday’s LLWS championship game.

Hwang, who was removed because he wasn’t feeling well, gave up one hit in two-plus innings while striking out four. He also drove in his team’s first two runs as they built an 8-1 lead before Jackie Robinson West made

it close.

“I’m very joyful. It’s a wonderful feeling,” Hwang said. “I don’t know why I’m even here; I didn’t play very good today.”

Choi, who had a homer and scored twice, pitched the last four innings for South Korea, which won its third title after back-to-back championships in 1984 and ‘85.

But even he got a little nervous at the end after Chicago collected four of its six hits and scored three times.

“I knew I could allow some runs,” he said. “After I got the

second out, I thought I could do it. But after I gave up the three runs I was (worried).”

International teams have won the last three and four of the last five titles.

Brandon Green went 5 2-3 innings for Chicago, which had survived four straight knockout games before the final.

After the final out, a force play, the Seoul team’s bench emptied and the players dumped cups of water on their teammates near the mound. The players took a victory lap, waving and laughing.

here.”

When developed correctly, a residence life community operates like a small society, even self-policing, Willis said. If a student is drinking in the hallway, another walks by and will tell him to go back in his room.

Rutten said there are three levels to identifying and addressing issues in the dorms.

Students may ask staff for help directly, indirectly or they may not ask at all.

RA Kirsten McBride said Residence Life Coordinator Leslie Byrd is consistently emphasizing the importance of engaging with the students in their quads, which have 16 students to each RA. McBride said an example was learning when it is appropriate to pull a struggling student aside to find out what may be contributing to the situation.

McBride taught the psychology of disaster to her fellow RAs during the training.

“You did a great job with that,” Rutten said to McBride, while the two stood beside the front desk in the residence hall.

McBride said there were specific situations such as ash fall from an erupting volcano that may actually arise at KPC. Willis said the training is designed to give her staff the tools and confidence to wear the many different hats they will be asked, and have been asked to wear during their time as an RA. For the final course, Emergency Manager of the University of Alaska Police Department Lt. Ron Swartz came for two days to certify the RAs, desk aides and maintenance staff in the Campus Citizen Emergency Response Team, or CCERT, which trains groups on how to respond to natural disasters.

“CCERT training is not something that is standard,” Willis said.

RAs are the first responders on campus, she said. And with this training they not only can help in the residence hall, but on the entire campus and then go out into the community.

jorities are the students coming from rural areas in the state, and Native students.

She played a variety of songs with content discussing issues such as racism, the LGBT community and gender roles and asked each RA to pick the one that caught their interest and dissect it.

The result of the exercise was a developing comprehension on different ways to encourage social change within their own community, Willis said.

“It’s about turning their passion into action,” Willis said.

The size of the group opened up an uncommon intimacy between a staff of RAs, said Willis, who has worked in residence life for 15 years.

Because the group was so small, and most members had already gone through much of the training at different points in the past year, RA Joshuah Rutten said the training began one week later than is standard for residence halls. Courses were also more advanced and expanded on the knowledge and experience everyone gained from the last year.

Rutten said he walked away from the training period with a better grasp on how to identify conflicts in his peers that have occurred in his own life.

“I was oblivious to it,” Rutten said. Now he is more aware of the symptoms that others may be experiencing.

Willis said that drawing connections between each session is important for the RAs. From addressing substance abuse and bullying and harassment, to ethics and Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act, or FERPA, the students need to know how they all tie in and relate to each other.

“That’s one thing about this project,” MacGillivray said.

“With an underground mine, no tailings dam and backfilling a third of the rock again back underground, we’re going to have a very small footprint here.”

Should the project get going, Ucore would pull 3,300 tons per day from the mine. The ore would be milled at the site, and the leftover rock and tailings wouldn’t be above ground for more than a few days, MacGillivray said.

However, Ucore has yet to complete much of the state and federal environmental permitting process. Along with environmental considerations, there’s another question left to answer: Will the mine make

Around Alaska 2 fishermen missing for 3 days located ANCHORAGE — Two fishermen missing for three days have been located.

KTTU reported Sunday that 32-year-old Kao Saelee and 16-year-old Antonion Her were reported missing Thursday after they did not return from fishing in the Talkeetna area near mile 93 of the Parks Highway.

Alaska State Troopers were dispatched to the area Saturday, and located Her near Mile 94 just after 3 p.m.

Her told troopers he and Saelee were separated Thursday night. A search effort was begun for Saelee, which included troopers, friends and family of both fishermen. According to a family friend of Saelee, Her was taken to an Anchorage hospital and treated for dehydration. Hours later, Saelee was spotted from the air. He was transported to Mat-Su Regional Hospital. He too suffered from dehydration.

the western Alaska village of Kotlik. The girl was pronounced dead at the village clinic shortly before 1 p.m. Thursday after CPR efforts failed.

Troopers say the girl fell into a half-full 5-gallon bucket of water being used to wash hands at the home, which has no running water.

Troopers spokeswoman Beth Ipsen says the girl’s mother and two siblings were home with the child at the time. Ipsen says the girl spoke with the mother 10 minutes before being found

23, Huestis and a friend snuck into the area.

“It had just been 24 hours,” she said. “It was really cold in March, and I figured that, if anything, my mom could have been holding onto my daughter at least 24 hours. She could have made it. At least that.”

That night, crews recovered Christina Jefferds’ body. Four days later, Sanoah’s body was found.

“It felt almost impossible because if my mom was right here, my daughter couldn’t have been that far away,” she said.

these opportunities that have been given to me,” she said.

Along with having a boat named after her daughter, Huestis was granted the opportunity to attend the University of Washington and Washington State University for a year for free.

Her long-term goal is to become a pediatric neurosurgeon.

“That is in a big part just because of how they found Sanoah,” she said. “When you go to work you always need something keeping you motivated. … So this is something that will always be with me and always keep me going in a positive direction, and I feel like I could help so many people.”

Both Huestis’ mom and daughter were cremated. The family isn’t sure what they want to do with Christina Jefferds’ remains. But Huestis has started spreading Sanoah’s ashes on mountaintops in Washington.

So far she has made it to Disappointment Cleaver on Mount Rainier and Mount Pilchuck.

She plans to scatter some ashes on Mount Baker, Whitehorse Mountain and at the summit of Rainier. In October for Sanoah’s birthday, Huestis plans to fly to Hawaii where Sanoah’s father lives, and spread ashes at the top of Mount Haleakala on Maui.

“I love it because I stay in Marysville pretty often and Mount Pilchuck just shines thorough Marysville,” she said.

“And so it’s cool to wake up in the morning and look up at Mount Pilchuck and just say good morning.”

Sanoah often slept in Huestis’ bed with her and trying to adjust to the drastic, sudden change in her life during the past few months has been horrible, Huestis said.

“I wake up in the middle of the night still because I’m like, ‘Where is (Sanoah)?’” Huestis said.

Not having her mom, that person who she could always rely on, around anymore is a struggle as well, she said.

“They’re willing to put everything, absolutely everything, on hold for you, and I think I miss that feeling the most,” she said.

Recently, Huestis woke up one morning and saw a picture of Sanoah and didn’t feel like she knew her.

“It just feels like I just lived this second life,” she said.

The pain is so great that at least once a week, Huestis falls to the ground on her knees.

Base doctor nabbed in prostitution ring probe ANCHORAGE — A doctor at Joint Base ElemendorfRichardson has been arrested following an investigation into an Alaska prostitution ring.

The doctor’s booking is the second arrest stemming from

an investigation into “Alaska Naughty Maids,” a website that marketed women for sex acts throughout Alaska, and a massage parlor.

Last month, a grand jury has indicted 39-year-old Amber L. Batts of Anchorage on seven felonies for allegedly running the ring, which operated between Anchorage, Fairbanks, Kenai and Juneau.

Authorities say 57-year-old Kelton Oliver was arrested for soliciting prostitution.

Kochs take money in different directions

By NANCY BENAC Associated Press

WASHINGTON — They are an outsized force in modern American politics, the bestknown brand of the big money era, yet still something of a mystery to those who cash their checks.

Meet the Koch brothers.

(Pronounced like the cola.)

Perhaps the first thing you need to know is that there are four of them.

Charles is the steady, driven one. He’s grounded in the Kansas soil of their birth.

David is his outgoing younger brother. He’s a New Yorker now and pronounces himself forever changed by a near-death experience.

William is David’s free-spirited twin, a self-described contrarian whose pursuits beyond business include sailing, collecting things and suing people, including his brothers.

And then there’s Frederick, the oldest, who’s as likely to turn up in Monte Carlo as at his apartment on New York’s Fifth Avenue. He doesn’t have much to do with the rest of the lot.

They’re all fabulously wealthy, all donate lavishly to charity, all tall — Frederick is the shortest at 6-foot-2 — and all are prostate cancer survivors. Beyond that, there are plenty of differences.

Charles and David are the billionaire businessmen who are pouring millions into politics. Bill and Freddie, as they’re known in the family, cut their ties to the family business decades ago and don’t display the same passion to change the world.

As Bill sizes up his siblings during an interview with The Associated Press: “David and I like off-color jokes, Freddie likes more sophisticated jokes.”

Charles? “Charles likes golf.”

Charles and David, in sync on business and politics, are miles apart in geography and style.

This photo taken Sept. 26, 2012 shows Charles and Liz Koch at Koch Headquarters in Wichita, Kansas. Married 44 years Liz says she is the only one that has cut his hair since they’ve been married.

This photo taken April 7, 1998 shows Frederick Koch, right, along with his sister-in-law Angela Koch, left, talking to the driver of their car before entering the federal courthouse in Topeka, Kansas.

Charles is the white-haired alpha male at the helm of Koch Industries. Midwestern through and through, the 78-year-old still walks up four flights of stairs to work at Koch headquarters in Wichita, Kansas, each morning and eats lunch in the company cafeteria.

After building Koch Industries into the nation’s secondlargest private company, he turned his business philosophy into a book, “The Science of Success.”

David, a Koch executive vice president and board member, keeps a higher profile. He ran for vice president as a Libertarian ticket in 1980 and chairs Americans For Prosperity Foundation, a tax-exempt corner of the brothers’ network.

At 74, with a distinctive bray of a laugh and an awshucks manner, David is literally a fixture in New York. His

son I’ve ever met in my life,” says Koch general counsel Mark Holden. “A purpose-driven life, that’s Charles.”

Charles wrote in The Wall Street Journal this spring that in recent years he’s seen “the need to also engage in the political process.”

“When you’re the only one who survived in the front of the plane and everyone else died — yeah, you think, ‘My God, the good Lord spared me for some greater purpose,’” David once said.

David is equally passionate about politics, once telling a reporter for the liberal blog ThinkProgress, when asked if he was proud of Americans for Prosperity, “You bet I am, man oh man.”

And what of Bill and Freddie — the other Koch brother and the other other Koch brother?

Bill, 74, worked for Koch Industries in the 1970s, but grew frustrated with what he saw as Charles’ autocratic management style and the corporate money his brother put into politics.

What came next played out over two decades: Bill and Freddie tried unsuccessfully to oust Charles as chief executive. Bill got fired. Charles and David bought out their brothers for a combined $800 million.

Bill had second thoughts and sued for more. Charles and David won.

“Financially, we probably made a bad deal,” Bill says, then adds: “In my life, I’m happier than I ever have been when I was working at Koch Industries. I’m my own person.”

Today, he runs his own energy company, Oxbow Carbon LLC and ranks 122nd on Forbes’ richest-people list.

He’s stopped collecting artwork because he’s “run out of wall space.” But he’s still suing people, spending more than $25 million on lawsuits against dealers he’s accused of selling fake wine.

Freddie, who turns 81 on Tuesday, loves restoring castles and historical houses.

Hot-sauce plant toffers tour IRWINDALE, Calif.

(AP) — A Southern California hot sauce plant that came under fire for its spicy odors is throwing open its doors to the public, offering a whiff of excitement and perhaps a breath of fresh air in its relations with its neighbors.

As many as 3,000 people were expected to visit the factory that makes Sriracha hot sauce over the weekend in this eastern Los Angeles suburb. The factory is holding its first open houses to kick off the chili harvest season.

During a 20-minute walk through the 650,000-square-foot facility, visitors can watch chili grinding; sample Sriracha-flavored ice cream, popcorn and chocolate caramels; visit the new gift shop; and take photos with a cardboard cutout of David Tran, CEO of plant owner Huy Fong Foods.

Tran gave an explanation for opening the factory doors when he previously had been secretive about its trade secrets and customized machinery.

“To prove we make hot sauce, we don’t make tear gas,” Tran told the Pasadena Star-News.

Irwindale, the Los Angeles suburb of about 1,500 people, had sued the company and declared the plant a public nuisance after some nearby residents complained of an eye-watering, throat-closing odor during grinding season.

But in May, an agreement was forged between the city and Tran with the help of representatives from Gov. Jerry Brown’s Business and Economic Development Office. The city dropped its nuisance declaration and lawsuit.

Baby’s adoption will leave hole in grandmother’s heart DEAR ABBY: My teenaged daughter will be giving birth soon, and she has decided to place her baby for adoption. I have told her that whatever she decides, I will support her decision.

Here is the difficult part: This will still be my biological grandchild. When this beautiful child is lovingly handed over to the adoptive parents, I will be losing a grandchild. I am already in mourning.

Are there other grandparents out there who are going — or have gone — through this, and how are they coping? I already see a therapist, but I would still like to know how others are coping.

— UN-GRANDPARENT IN OHIO DEAR UN-GRANDPARENT: I wish you had told me more about the kind of adoption your daughter has chosen for her baby. If it is an open adoption in which she will be kept informed about the child’s milestones and progress, ask the adoptive couple if they would welcome you as an “extra” grandparent for the child. If I hear from others who have gone through this process, I will let you know, because I’m sure they will write to help you through your heartache.

and are excited to celebrate our life as husband and wife together with our families and friends.

I have a 6-year-old daughter from a previous relationship, and after talking to her, she told me she would like to walk me down the aisle instead of being our flower girl.

I love the idea, and so does Jon. I will have to talk to my Abigail Van Buren dad about it, because I know he was looking forward to it although we do NOT have a close relationship. I have lived on my own since I was 17. How do I communicate to him in an appropriate way that my daughter, who has been my family for the past six years, will walk me down the aisle and not him?

— CONFUSED BRIDE-TO-BE DEAR CONFUSED: Because you aren’t close to your father, this may not come as a shock to him.

However, if he was asked to walk you down the DEAR ABBY: I am being married to the man of aisle, he may be very hurt and it could cause a rift. my dreams next month. “Jon” and I love each other Be as diplomatic as possible when you break

DEAR ABBY: My husband has a low-paying job and I am trying to see that he gets a better one, but each step I take he regards as pestering him. This has driven us apart from each other. It really hurts me because we are now like strangers living together. What do I do?

— SAD WIFE IN ABUJA, NIGERIA DEAR SAD WIFE: Change tactics. What you consider helpful encouragement may be regarded by your husband as constant nagging about a sore subject. Tell him you love him, didn’t mean to pressure him — and if you see some ads seeking men with his skills that offer a higher salary, let him know about them. That’s what I would do.

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.

Hints from Heloise

By Leigh Rubin

Ziggy

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) HHHH You might want to head in a new direction or do something very differently. There is a side of your personality that is not a risktaker, and it could hold you back.

A discussion later in the day will point the way to a path that suits you better. Tonight: Be noticed.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) HHHHH Look beyond the obvious.

Detach in order to see what is going on behind the scenes. You’ll need to get past a moment of negativity that could be coloring your thinking. Once you decide to go in a certain direction, others will follow. Tonight: Could go very late.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) HHHH A partner or associate has a vision that he or she would like to share with you. Try to be supportive, even if you feel out of sorts. A meeting will allow everyone to air out his or her feelings. Pull back rather than trigger. Tonight: Use your imagination.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) HHHH Others will come toward you.

You are likely to gain a new perspective as a result of what you hear and see. Try to get a broader vision of what is going on. A must appearance later in the day might get you thinking. Tonight: Enjoy chatting with a favorite person over dinner.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) HHHH Move in a new direction.Don’t overthink things; otherwise, you could feel your confidence drop.

Someone will want you to follow him or her. You might want to say “yes” and see a situation through this person’s eyes. Tonight: It would be best not to be alone.

A cool place to eat is not a treat Dear Readers: Here is this week’s Sound Off, about restaurant temperatures: “My Sound Off is restaurants that keep the temperature so cold. It is not comfortable for diners trying to enjoy their meals. If the restaurant is doing this for the workers, I can understand that; however, the patrons should feel comfortable without having to wear sweaters or jackets to enjoy their meals.”

— Pat Z., Warren, Ohio There usually are several reasons when it comes to air conditioning in a public place. There may be 15 diners, or there may be 100! That can be a lot of body heat, as well as hot food being served and wait staff trying to move fast. It’s best to take a scarf, shawl or light sweater, as I do when going to the movies! I also keep a tote in the trunk of my car with a shawl or big scarf handy in case I forget.

— Heloise Fast Facts Dear Readers: Hints to save on energy bills when heating water: * Don’t run hot water while brushing teeth. * Make sure pipes are insulated correctly. * Lower the temperature of the hotwater heater a few degrees. * Check for leaky pipes often.

— Heloise Cushion coverage Dear Heloise: My husband got tired of bringing in the cushions on our outdoor furniture at night in case of rain, so he put large trash bags over the chairs. It worked. Now after it rains, we don’t have to wait for the cushions to dry before we can sit outside.

— Mary Jo in Mansfield, Ohio

Rubes

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) HHHH Return calls right away, as there could be some information waiting to be shared. Schedule meetings only after you have caught up on those calls. You might want to change your plans slightly.

Check out an offer that might affect your personal life. Tonight: Implement a change.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) HHHH Take stock of your finances before you get going today; you might have made a mistake in your math. A risk will seem like a bad idea, no matter how you look at it.

A discussion in the late afternoon could be more significant than you initially realize. Tonight: Let work become play.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) HHHH You’ll start the day feeling energized, but an obstacle with a family member is likely to slow you down. Consider your options more carefully. A partner will have a lot to share. Be more open today. Tonight: Meet a friend for munchies and to catch up on news.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) HHH You could wake up on the wrong side of the bed. Sometimes it takes a lot to get you straightened out when you are this off-kilter.

You tend to be guarded with your words right now. Tonight: Feeling your Wheaties. Anything goes.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) HHHH A friendship holds unusual significance at this moment. This person makes all the difference in what happens to you and your choices. You’ll feel supported. An issue that causes financial tension could need some clarification. Tonight: Vanish quickly.

the news. Start by saying, “I was talking about the wedding with little ‘Jennifer,’ and she came up with an idea Jon and I think is adorable. Instead of being our flower girl, she wants to walk me down the aisle. We feel it would bring our little family even closer together. I hope you don’t mind....”

Jacqueline Bigar’s Stars A baby born today has a Sun in Virgo and a Moon in Leo if born before 5:33 p.m. (PDT). Afterward, the Moon will be in Virgo.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY for Monday, Aug. 25, 2014: This year you open up to the possibility of letting go of what no longer works. You are one year away from starting a new life and luck cycle. In order to maximize the effect of this cycle, eliminate everything that doesn’t add to your life. You then will be clear to allow new opportunities and people into your life.

If you are single, you could meet someone who is emotionally unavailable. Take your time getting to know this person. If you are attached, the two of you love to go on weekend getaways together; it adds to the glue between you and increases your emotional security. VIRGO can be very critical of 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) HHHH Tap into your creativity when dealing with a willful associate.

This person could be irrational, and he or she might be stuck on an idea about a particular topic.

Take a deep breath, and decide on a new resolution. Tonight: Squeeze in some exercise.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) HHHH You might not be in a Monday mood right now; you probably would be happier being frivolous or in weekend mode. A partner or loved one could be quite irritable and difficult. Your feelings will intensify as the day goes on. Tonight: You have a choice to make!
