In the news Aftershocks follow 5.1 quake

FAIRBANKS — Aftershocks continue to rattle interior Alaska after a 5.1-magnitude earthquake Saturday night. The Fairbanks News-Miner reports that aftershocks of 4.08 and 4.19 were felt Sunday throughout the cities of North Pole and Fairbanks. There have been no reports of damage or injuries after the shaking. The 5.1 earthquake hit at 7:06 p.m. Alaska Daylight Time on Saturday and had a depth of 10 miles. Residents told the newspaper that they felt shaking for about 10 seconds. The aftershocks could also be felt around the region. — The Associated Press

Cook Inlet stakeholders are asking the state Board of Fisheries to consider more changes to area fisheries this winter. Fishery participants have submitted nine agenda change requests, or ACRs, which would open up certain aspects of Cook Inlet management plans during the 2014-2015 meeting year, rather than waiting until the next regularly scheduled Cook Inlet meetings in 2016-2017. The majority were proposed by setnetters, who are asking the board to change fishery regulations in part based on how major management plan changes passed at the February 2014 Upper Cook Inlet meeting have played out this summer, although one would also limit participation and harvest in the personal use fishery. The Board of Fisheries sets the management plans for fisheries throughout the state on a three-year cycle. The Alaska Department of Fish and Game, or ADFG, is charged with carrying out those plans using the tools provided by the board. The board will decide at its October work session in Juneau whether or not to add each ACR to its agenda for the year. They would likely be discussed in March, which is when the board’s schedule calls for supplemental issues. The standard for accepting

an ACR is if the proposal is for a fishery conservation purpose or reason, to correct an error in a regulation or to correct an effect on a fishery that was unforeseen when a regulation was adopted. Setnetter Christine Brandt submitted a request asking the board to adjust the Kasilof setnet fishery so that when there are restrictions because of conservation concerns, setnetters can fish along the beach. This year, Alaska Department of Fish and Game managers relied extensively on the Kasilof River Special Harvest Area as a tool to catch sockeyes while limiting the catch of Kenai River kings; Brandt is asking that setnetters also be allowed to fish within a half mile of shore when that occurs. Brandt has also asked the board to consider changing the management plan to allow ADFG to manage the Kasilof and Kenai/East Forelands sections separately when fishing is restricted to no more than 12 or 36 hours. That was rejected as an emergency petition in March, but the threshold for an ACR, rather than a petition, is slightly lower. Chris Every, another setnetter, submitted a similar request, asking the board to change the management plan so that when fishing time is limited, fishing in one section doesn’t count against the time available in another section.

Fairbanks spent $7k defending mayor’s $37.50 fine FAIRBANKS (AP) — The city of Fairbanks, Alaska, has so far spent about $7,000 appealing a $37.50 election-law fine leveled on the mayor. The Alaska Public Offices Commission ordered City Mayor John Eberhart to pay the $37.50 fine in May after concluding he broke a state law in the October 2013 election by sending an email on his city council email account, The Fairbanks Daily News-Miner reports.

In that email, Eberhart, then a city council member, asked city staff to research resolutions and ordinances sponsored by Eberhart and his mayoral opponent Vivian Stiver. In the eyes of the commission, the records request equaled an illegal use of municipal resources to influence an election Fairbanks has paid about $7,000 during appeals, city attorney Paul Ewers said. The funding comes out of the city’s claims budget. The Fairbanks

City Council held a closeddoor executive session about the city’s appeal strategy earlier this month. The city government is paying for Eberhart’s appeal costs because it’s obligated, in most cases, to defend public officials who are sued as part of their official duties under the city’s indemnification law, the newspaper reported. Eberhart’s attorney, Michael Walleri, accuses the elections body of overstepping its power.

The ruling sets a precedent that would broadly paint legitimate information requests as illegal electioneering, he told the newspaper on Friday. “This has huge ramifications. ... the (Alaska) Municipal League has been talking about this,” he said. “Any information that is received legitimately by an elected official cannot be used in an election campaign.” In its order, the elections commission said Eberhart’s

records request related to his role as a candidate and not as a city councilman because he requested only information about himself and Stiver and because he later used the research at a mayoral debate. Walleri said Eberhart asked for the information as a councilman, to defend himself from a member of the public had been coming to city council meetings and attacking him about his record.

KPBSD staff, law officers receive intruder training By KAYLEE OSOWSKI and KELLY SULLIVAN Peninsula Clarion

Uniformed officers from law enforcement agencies throughout the Kenai Peninsula joined with Kenai Peninsula Borough School District administrators to learn about ALICE. “Everybody’s here,” said Dave Jones, KPBSD assistant superintendent. “We’re getting on board together.” ALICE, is an intruder response procedure that is drastically different than the traditional lockdown policy. ALICE, which stands for Alert, Lockdown, Inform, Counter, Evacuate, provides schools with options of how to best respond to a situation instead of drawing the blinds, locking the door and hiding. Previously the school district did collaborate with law enforcement to a degree, but in working to implement ALICE in local schools, the agencies have ramped up efforts to work together. “This is a really big step forward,”

Jones said about increasing officer involvement in the school district. Dallas Texas-based Greg Crane, former law enforcement officer, and his wife Lisa Crane, former school principal, created the program and came to Kenai last week to begin the process for implementing the procedure in the school district. Principals from KPBSD schools attended training on Wednesday and local law enforcement officers completed a two-day train-the-trainer course. Greg Crane presented data and engaged course takers in simulations. KPBSD Superintendent Dr. Steve Atwater said while the topic of armed intruder events is a difficult one, he said principals left their day of training feeling positive about ALICE. Pegge Erkeneff, KPBSD spokesperson, said the training has been intense Photo by Kelly Sullivan/ Peninsula Clarion not only in adjusting to a different way of thinking about responding to a intruder Alaska State Trooper Blake Calhoun role plays an armed shooter during a locksituation, but also in recognizing the real- down drill for the local two-day ALICE Training Institute training for Kenai Peninsula municipal officers and Alaska State Troopers, Friday, at the Challenger ity of the statistics.

Red snapper study disputes federal numbers By JAY REEVES Associated Press

BIRMINGHAM, Ala. — Alabama officials say new state statistics dispute federal estimates that led to tight restrictions on red snapper fishing by recreational anglers in the Gulf of Mexico. Alabama’s Marine Resources Division last week released the results of a state study, which determined that 418,000 pounds of the highly prized fish were caught in state waters through June 30. That total was only 40 percent of the 1.04 million pounds of red snapper catch estimated by the federal government’s Marine Recreational Information Program. The federal numbers could be used to set future limits, just as studies from past years were used to impose a record-short snapper season of nine days this year. An expert involved with the federal program said it is working with Alabama and other states to determine the best way to estimate the Gulf catch. Gulf Coast states for years have argued that federal officials overestimate the recreational snapper catch, and they continue to push the federal government to extend the season for catching snapper, which is so popular it draws tourists and millions of dollars to the coastal economy annually. The state presented the findings of its study last week at a meeting of the Gulf of Mexico Fishery Management Council in Biloxi, Mississippi. The council sets quotas that are used to determine the length of fishing seasons, and a decision is likely in October. Rep. Bradley Bryne, RMobile, said results of the Alabama Red Snapper Reporting Program show the need for changes in the federal system of setting fishing limits. “For years the feds have failed to adequately account for the total fishing effort placed on the red snapper fishery,” he said in a statement. “This latest failure is just another in a long line of mismanagement by the NaC

tional Marine Fishery Service, that is both unfair and hurting our fishermen.” Chris Blankenship, director of the Alabama Marine Division, said the state’s study was more accurate than federal estimates because it included observations taken from video cameras installed at six boatlaunching ramps on the coast in addition to reporting from anglers and statistical analysis. The number of boats being launched is one factor used by marine biologists to estimate the number of fish being caught, and Blankenship said the state’s video surveillance proved that federal officials were badly overestimating the number of boats going out to fish, leading to an overestimate in the number of red snapper being caught. “The video was used to count the actual number of boats leaving, where the federal program only estimates the number of boats going out through surveys,” Blankenship said in an interview Thursday.

Gordon Colvin, a contractor consulting with the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration on the red snapper program, said the agency is working with Alabama and other states and isn’t opposed to considering new ways to estimate the catch. NOAA actu-

Man driving with 7 children in truck faces DUI charge

WASILLA (AP) — Alaska State Troopers say a 33-year-old Wasilla man was arrested Saturday for driving recklessly while “severely intoxicated” with seven young children — none wearing restraining devices — in his truck. The Alaska Dispatch News reports troopers said in a statement that a motorist reported a driver they believed to be drunk in Wasilla at 8:43 p.m. Saturday. The troopers later pulled over a 1999 Ford F-350 truck driven by Kile Thimsen. Troopers say Thimsen’s license had been suspended before the incident. The newspaper says Thimsen was arrested and charged with DUI, reckless driving, driving with license suspended and seven counts of first-degree endangering the welfare of a child as well as seven counts of reckless endangerment. The newspaper reports that the ages of the children involved and their relationship to Thimsen were unclear.

What Others Say

Later school day start good for teens Teenagers need more sleep. They also

need more time in school. A national push is now underway to address the first problem, which is encouraging — but the second one is no less important. The American Academy of Pediatrics announced what a growing body of research has found: Teenagers would benefit from a later start to the school day. Like everything else, a teen’s body clock goes a little haywire during puberty, and the hormone that induces sleep (melatonin) is typically not released until about 11 p.m. The glow from electronic devices can delay the release still further — one reason reading a history textbook may help teens fall asleep better than playing “Candy Crush.” Research shows that the typical teen needs 8.5 to 9.5 hours of sleep to function normally. A 2006 survey by the National Sleep Foundation found that 87 percent of high school students were getting less than that. A big reason is the school day: More than 40 percent of U.S. public high schools start their day before 8 a.m., with 10 percent starting before 7:30. There’s much more at stake here than reducing the number of yawns in first-period social studies class. When adolescents are sleep-deprived, the consequences can be serious: an increased risk not just for auto accidents and poor performance on tests, but also for weight gain and depression. The pediatrics academy recommends starting high school no earlier than 8:30 a.m. That’s easier said than done. Later start times can require more money for busing. Many parents like to get the kids out of the house when they leave for work, which is often before 8. And many teachers — who don’t have the same sleeping schedules as their students — prefer an early start and the early dismissal that comes with it. Nevertheless, schools exist to serve students, and the health benefits of later start times are clear. Objections about logistics or finances don’t negate the science. Allowing students to arrive at school later is not the only scheduling change that would improve academic achievement. In the mid-19th century, urban schools typically ran year-round, with about 250 school days, compared with today’s standard of 180. The 10-week summer vacation came to be largely because school buildings were considered unsanitary during the hot summer months and elites feared too much time in the classroom would create a nation of pointy-headed weaklings incapable of performing the hard labor necessary to make America great. As U.S. Secretary of Education Arne Duncan said five years ago: “Our school day is too short. Our school week is too short. Our school year is too short.” Some schools that have experimented with longer school days, weekend classes and a slightly longer school year have seen impressive results, as have schools that have delayed their start time. But change has been slow. And some districts are moving in the opposite direction, shortening their days and starting them sooner. Students need 40 winks a night and more than 40 weeks of school. It shouldn’t be so hard to make sure they get both.

Warren Buffett betrays America It must have been a bitter moment for President Barack Obama when he got the news that his favorite economic guru not only doesn’t like paying taxes but hates America. Warren Buffett, whose eponymous rule was a staple of Obama’s 2012 re-election campaign, is underwriting Burger King’s proposed move to Canada that the left is denouncing as practically the most dastardly plot since the Rosenbergs helped the Soviets get the bomb. Burger King is acquiring the Canadian coffee and doughnuts chain Tim Hortons in what is called a “corporate inversion.” At least that’s the technical term for it. Obama and the left prefer to call it by names usually reserved for spies before they get a blindfold and a last cigarette. The practice of corporate inversion, or relocating overseas to avoid the burden of U.S. taxes, offends the president’s sense of “economic patriotism,” as he put it in a recent speech. He referred to firms that make this move as “corporate deserters.” Sen. Bernie Sanders, the socialist from Vermont, says companies like Burger King “have absolutely no loyalty to the people of the United States and our government.” Sen. Sherrod Brown, a Democrat from Ohio, has called for a boycott. This outpouring of patriotic fervor is something to behold, especially from the same sort of people who used to think expecting a politician to wear a flag lapel pin was a crudely nationalistic imposition.

move its headquarters to New York City and pay higher taxes still, in an awe-inspiring act of patriotic commitment. It is not that Burger King is “shirking” on taxes on its U.S. business through its move. It will have to pay U.S. rates on that regardless. It is avoiding paying the high U.S. taxes on its overseas business, and avoiding what would in effect be a tax increase for Tim Hortons by making it subject to the U.S. system. If this seems unscrupulous, consider the wisdom of the Sage of Omaha, Obama’s goto economic mascot, whom he has often used to make arguments from authority. “I will not pay a dime more of individual taxes than I owe, and I won’t pay a dime more of corporate taxes than we owe,” Warren Buffett told Fortune magazine this year. So it shouldn’t be a surprise that he evidently has no compunction about helping to finance a deal widely derided for minimizing Burger King’s taxes. Despite all the yowling and patriotic chest-beating, our corporate tax system isn’t the Declaration of Independence, or the Golden Gate Bridge, or the GI Bill. It is an ungainly, politicized disgrace that unduly burdens American business. The best way to keep American companies from wanting to flee it is simply to reform it. It’s either that, or try Warren Buffett for treason. Rich Lowry can be reached via email: comments.lowry@nationalreview.com.

House, Senate intel chiefs flag Islamic State risk By PHILIP ELLIOTT Associated Press

AP News Extra

WASHINGTON — Leaders of the House and Senate intelligence committees on Sunday prodded President Barack Obama to take decisive action against what they say are growing threats from Islamic State militants on U.S. soil. The lawmakers, one Republican and one Democratic, offered bipartisan pressure on the White House to turn back the hazard of Islamist fighters who have taken control of vast swaths of Syria and Iraq. Those militants now are looking toward the United States or Western Europe for its next targets, lawmakers said. Without offering specifics on any threats or suggestions how to confront them, the lawmakers said Obama soon needs to develop a comprehensive strategy The Hour of Norwalk (Conn.), to crush the fighters. “His foreign policy is in abAug. 27 solute free-fall,” said Rep. Mike Rogers, a Michigan Republican who heads the House Intelligence Committee. In another TV interview, Sen. Dianne Feinstein, the California

Classic Doonesbury, 1977

The left almost universally scorns the idea that a closely held family business might have religious motivations -- and was outraged by the Supreme Court’s Hobby Lobby decision for this reason -- yet believes that Rich Lowry enormous globe- bestriding corporations should have patriotic feelings. In most other contexts, Obama is a proud “citizen of the world.” Except when it comes to taxing businesses. Then, he is transformed into the Giuseppe Garibaldi of American progressivism. For him, patriotism is the last refuge of the taxman. It should give him and his allies pause that Canada -- boring, socialistic Canada -- is a tax haven compared with the United States. We now have a corporate tax system that combines the highest nominal rate in the developed world, at 35 percent, with loopholes that benefit special interests and the politically connected. On top of this, the U.S. -- in a rarity for the developed world -- imposes its high tax rate on overseas earnings. Burger King says it is making a purely business decision, and it is true that the merger makes sense strictly on the merits. But Burger King could have made exactly the same business decision and kept its headquarters in Miami. For that matter, it could

Democrat who leads the Senate intelligence panel, said Obama is perhaps “too cautious” in his approach to combatting the Islamic State group. “This is a group of people who are extraordinarily dangerous,” Feinstein said. “And they’ll kill with abandon.” The pair of lawmakers, who have access to some of the nation’s most sensitive secrets and receive regular and detailed briefings from the nation’s spy agencies, offered dire predictions of an attack on the United States or its European allies if the militants are not confronted. “They have announced that they don’t intend to stop,” Feinstein said. “They have announced that they will come after us if they can, that they will, quote, ‘spill our blood.’” The threat, Rogers said, could include Americans who have trained with Islamic State fighters. He said there are hundreds of Islamic State-trained Americans who can return to the U.S. with their American passports. “I’m very concerned because

we don’t know every single person that has an American passport that has gone and trained and learned how to fight,” Rogers said. Rogers said U.S. intelligence agencies were tracking the Americans who are known to have traveled to the region. If they helped Islamic State fighters, he said, they should be charged under laws that prohibit Americans from aiding terrorists. “ISIL would like to have a Western-style attack to continue this notion that they are the leading jihadist group in the world,” Rogers said, using another name for the group. The top Democrat on his intelligence panel, Rep. C.A. Dutch Ruppersberger of Maryland, was more skeptical. He said more needs to be known before judging whether they plan to commit terrorist acts in the U.S. any time soon. The group’s priority now seems to be to hold on to territory it has gained rather than export violence. “It is extremely urgent, but you don’t just rush in,” he said. It was a view shared by Rep. Adam Smith, a Washington state Democrat on the House Armed Services Committee: “We can’t simply bomb first and ask questions later.” Sen. John McCain, an Arizona Republican who serves on the Senate Foreign Relations Com-

mittee, urged fast action and said Islamic State fighters “must be defeated, not contained,” because they represent a direct threat to the U.S. Added Homeland Security Committee member Rep. Peter King, R-N.Y.: “The longer we wait, the more dangerous” the group becomes. Feinstein said she has seen nothing that compares to the viciousness of the militants who have overrun large portions of Iraq, killed civilians and beheaded American journalist James Foley. The Islamic State group has financing, military structure and weapons unlike any other militants, she said. Obama said Thursday he did not yet have a strategy for dealing with the Islamic State organization, a remark that brought criticism from Democrats and Republicans. In an interview published early this year by The New Yorker, the president appeared to minimize the group by comparing it to a junior varsity basketball team. The White House said he was speaking about a different threat posed by a range of extremists across the world. Feinstein said she thought the basketball analogy was wrong — “I think it’s a major varsity team” — but would not say whether she thought Obama projected weakness by admitting he had no strategy.

Detroit raced toward this week’s bankruptcy trial By COREY WILLIAMS Associated Press

DETROIT — It took decades of mismanagement, malfeasance and meltdowns in its bread-and-butter manufacturing sector for Detroit to hit fiscal rock bottom. The path to exit bankruptcy could take less than a year and a half. After some delays, the confirmation trial for the largest municipal bankruptcy in U.S. history is scheduled to start Tuesday. Massive debt, thousands of creditors and complex union and pension issues had many experts thinking Detroit’s bankruptcy would take years to resolve, considering two California cities — Stockton and San Bernardino — filed a year before Detroit did and still haven’t settled on plans. Detroit expects to cut $12 billion in unsecured debt to about $5 billion, which is “more manageable,” according to Bill Nowling, a spokesman for emergency manager Kevyn Orr. “None of it will get wiped out until the plan is confirmed and the judge issues an effective date,” Nowling told The Associated Press. “And it happens really fast after that.” Orr’s contract expires at the end of September. His restructuring team set an aggressive timetable and bankruptcy Judge Steven Rhodes also quickly named mediators to work out deals with creditors, added Nowling. “I think — with the exception of a few remaining holdouts — all of our creditors recognized we could not let the city

In this July 16, 2013 aerial file photo, the downtown of the city of Detroit is shown. Detroit Emergency Manager Kevyn Orr raised more than a few eyebrows a year ago when he took the city into bankruptcy and predicted it would be out by the time his term expired in fall 2014. Because it is by far the largest city to file for municipal bankruptcy and the issues were so complex many experts predicted it would take years to resolve. But the city will take a major step toward that goal with a trial in federal bankruptcy court that starts Tuesday.

languish in endless bankruptcy proceedings,” Nowling said. Bankruptcy expert Anthony Sabino called Detroit’s pace since the July 2013 bankruptcy filing “amazingly quick.” San Bernardino has yet to reach the confirmation phase, and Stockton’s bankruptcy trial started in May. “You have to tip your hat to Kevyn Orr to do this in record time and to get these con-

stituents together,” said Sabino, who teaches law at St. John’s University. Detroit still had to navigate through claims by creditors — including 30,000 city retirees and workers — and the potential sale of masterpieces from the Detroit Institute of Arts. Detroit’s debt includes $3.5 billion in unfunded pension liabilities. To reduce cuts to pensions and keep artwork off the

auction block, the city will get a hand from the state, major corporations, foundations and others through donations of more than $800 million over 20 years. In return, pensioners had to endorse Orr’s restructuring plans. Their vote was completed in July. Pension officials worked long hours in mediation to reach that settlement, said Bruce Ba-

biarz, Police and Fire Retirement System spokesman. “No one may be happy with the plan of adjustment, but it should bring this insolvency to an end,” Babiarz said. “Many are looking forward to getting on with their lives knowing that their pensions are secured and there is optimism for the future of what was once among the greatest cities in the world.” Quick may not best, salon

owner Larry Swygert says. He has run the shop for 25 years along Livernois Avenue, a oncethriving business district known as the “Avenue of Fashion.” “There’s a lot of things on the table and I think they’re just brushing over them ... trying to get it all done,” said Swygert, 59. “But they’re not looking at what is going to end up impacting the city at the end.” He pointed to the money that pensioners will lose out on, adding, “They are not going to be able to come and get their hair done and they’re not going to be able to shop on the Avenue of Fashion.” The loudest grumbling has come from some creditors which stand to lose big money if Rhodes approves the bankruptcy plan. Bond insurer Syncora Guarantee has said its claim is about $400 million and that Detroit has unfairly discriminated against financial creditors. “It has been a very fast-track bankruptcy, which Syncora has no issue with,” company attorney James Sprayregen said. “Syncora’s issue is the lack of transparency of the process and the unfair treatment of its claims.” Rhodes has scheduled additional hearing dates, if needed, into October. But in the end, Sabino expects Rhodes to approve Detroit’s bankruptcy — followed by appeals from creditors. “You can’t unscramble the eggs,” said Sabino. “Once the confirmation plan is approved and it starts to roll, you can’t undo it. In a matter of months ... there will be anti-climactic legal wrangling and Detroit will be on its way to prosperity.”

Official: 5 killed in plane crash north of Denver C

ERIE, Colo. (AP) — All five people aboard a small plane that crashed near an airport north of Denver have died, a spokesman for the National Transportation Board said. The Piper PA-46 airplane crashed near the Erie Municipal Airport about 11:50 a.m., NTSB spokesman Peter Knudson said Sunday afternoon. Shortly after the crash, three people were declared dead at the scene and two were taken to hospitals. Erie Police Cmdr. Lee Mathis said the six-passenger plane crashed a few hundred yards northwest of the runway, but he did not know if it was landing or taking off. A photo of the crash site posted on the Boulder Daily Camera’s website showed the mangled wreckage of the plane, which crashed into a grassy field. Jan Culver told the newspaper she was with a friend in a pasture near the airport when she heard the plane and saw it flying “really, really low.” “We heard it sputtering,” she

said. “Then there was no sound. We knew it was a crash.” She saw a small cloud of dust as the plane crashed and, because she has some medical knowledge, went to the scene to

help, Culver said. “It was a plane upside down with some folks already out of the plane,” she said. “I could tell there were some bad injuries.”

The Denver Post reported that NTSB records show the airport was the scene of three crashes in 2013 and two in 2012. None of those incidents had a fatality.

Louisiana abortion law delayed By JANET McCONNAUGHEY Associated Press

BATON ROUGE, La. — A federal judge has temporarily blocked enforcement of Louisiana’s restrictive new abortion law. District Judge John deGravelles says the law can take effect Monday but officials cannot penalize doctors for breaking it while a challenge is heard. The law would require doctors who perform abortions to have admitting privileges to a hospital within 30 miles of their clinics. A lawsuit claims doctors haven’t had enough time to obtain privileges and the law likely would force Louisiana’s five abortion clinics to close. DeGravelles says the doctors’ risk of fines and losing licenses outweighs any injury to the state from keeping the status quo. C

The last fatality at the airport was in May 2011, when 64-year-old Christian R. Hansen crashed on takeoff in a plane he was demonstrating for a potential buyer, according to

the newspaper. The autopsy indicated Hansen had a heart attack. The NTSB is investigating Sunday’s crash. Erie is about 20 miles north of Denver.

KIEV, Ukraine — Russian President Vladimir Putin on Sunday called on Ukraine to immediately start talks on a political solution to the crisis in eastern Ukraine. Hours later, Ukraine said a border guard vessel operating in the Azov Sea was attacked by land-based forces. ProRussian rebels have recently opened a new offensive along the seacoast. Putin’s comment, made to national TV network Channel 1, said Ukraine should “hold substantive, meaningful talks, not about technical issues but about the question of the political organization of society and statehood in southeast Ukraine, with the goal of safeguarding the legitimate interests of those people who live there.” Despite the use of the word

“statehood,” Putin did not envision sovereignty for the two separatist eastern regions that style themselves as “Novorossiya” (New Russia ), his spokesman Dmitry Peskov said later, according to a Russian news report. Putin’s comments came a day after leaders of the European Union decided to put off any new sanctions against Russia for at least a week. On Sunday, a spokesman for Ukraine’s offensive against Russia-backed rebels said a border guard vessel has been fired on with artillery — apparently the first incident at sea in the fighting. The spokesman, Oleksiy Dmitrashkovsky, said the attack occurred Sunday afternoon but he had no further information, including how many people were aboard the boat. The attack took place amid

heightened concern that the rebels are trying to seize a land bridge between Russia and the Crimean Peninsula, which Russia annexed in March. Until this week, the area along the Azov Sea had escaped the fighting that has gripped areas farther north since April. Meanwhile, two prominent U.S. senators said Sunday that the Obama administration should not only push for tougher sanctions on Russia, but should also send weapons to help Ukraine defend itself. “We should be providing the Ukrainians with the type of defensive weapons that will impose a cost on Putin for further aggression,” Democratic Sen. Robert Menendez, chairman of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, said on CNN’s “State of the Union.” Menendez, speaking from the Ukrainian capital Kiev,

Ukrainian government forces have succumbed to a sequence of military failures and seen their holdings in the conflict-ridden east shrink in recent days as Russian-backed rebels continue their fast-paced offensive.

Eruption prompts Iceland aviation alert By JENNA GOTTLIEB Associated Press

REYKJAVIK, Iceland (AP) — Lava fountains danced along a lengthy volcanic fissure near Iceland’s subglacial Bardarbunga volcano Sunday, prompting authorities to raise the aviation warning code to the highest level and close the surrounding airspace. The red warning code was raised early Sunday after the eruption in the Holuhraun lava field, about five kilometers (three miles) north of the Dyngjujoekull glacier. The warning was lowered 12 hours later as visibility improved and it was clear that no volcanic ash was detected.

The country’s meteorological agency said scientists were monitoring the ongoing eruption. “Visual observation confirms it is calm, but continuous,” the weather agency said on its website. Sunday morning’s eruption at about 0500 GMT (1 a.m. EDT) followed a smaller one in the same site on Friday that also prompted authorities to briefly raise the aviation warning code to restrict flights in the area. Thousands of small earthquakes have rocked the region in recent days, leading to concerns that the main volcano may erupt. The aviation warning meant that no flights were allowed in the airspace north of the fissure

eruption area, up to 6,000 feet (1.1 miles) from the ground. Aviation officials said the restrictions do not affect commercial flights, which fly much higher than that. Authorities said lava fountains of about 50 meters (165 feet) high erupted Sunday from the fissure, estimated to be almost a mile (1.6 kms) long. The fissure eruption appeared about 40 kilometers (28 miles) from the main Bardarbunga volcano, which lies under the vast Vatnajokull glacier that dominates the eastern corner of Iceland. Though remote and sparsely populated, the area is popular with hikers in the summer. Officials earlier evacuated all

tourists in the region after intense seismic activity there. Although Sunday’s fissure eruption was more powerful than the one on Friday, experts say the situation is contained and is unlikely to result in the same level of aviation chaos as 2010.

Kahne triumphs to claim spot in Chase Stewart hits wall twice in his return to racing, exits event just after halfway point CHARLES ODUM AP Sports Writer

HAMPTON, Ga. — Kasey Kahne’s “downer” year received an important boost when he overcame his struggles with restarts with a big power move when he needed it the most. Kahne charged past Matt Kenseth and Denny Hamlin in a two-lap shootout to win the NASCAR Sprint Cup race at Atlanta Motor Speedway on Sunday night. Kahne’s first win of the season earned him a spot in the Chase for the Sprint Cup. “I struggle with restarts a

lot and that’s big,” Kahne said. “That’s one of the things you have to be good at. It worked really well tonight.” Meanwhile, Tony Stewart’s much-anticipated return to racing ended a little more than halfway through the race. Stewart hit the wall for the second time after his right front tire blew out on Lap 172, ending his night with a 41st-place finish. Kahne took his third career win in Atlanta and his first win of the season. “We’ve had kind of a downer year at times,” Kahne said. Kenseth, who finished sec-

ond, also qualified for the Chase on points. He began the second restart in first place, but couldn’t stop the charge from Kahne. “I was able to get alongside him and get a good run down the back stretch,” Kenseth said. “... I got back to the gas as soon as I could. I just didn’t have enough muscle to clear him.” Hamlin was third, followed by Jimmie Johnson, Carl Edwards and Danica Patrick. It was Stewart’s first race since the sprint car he was driving struck and killed 20-year-old Kevin Ward Jr. in an Aug. 9 race at a dirt track in upstate New York. The fatal wreck is still un-

der investigation. With only two laps remaining and Kahne holding a solid lead over Kevin Harvick, Martin Truex Jr. and Kyle Busch collided, forcing a caution flag and the first shootout. Harvick, who led 195 laps, had contact with Joey Logano in heavy traffic and hit the wall on the restart, bringing another caution flag and a second shootout. Kahne, who had four fresh tires, started behind Kenseth and Hamlin on the final restart. “I felt better about the first restart because the outside lane was really slick and I hardly spun the tires,” Kenseth said. “I felt re-

ally good about that. The second one I didn’t feel nearly as good about. (Kahne) was behind me. They had so much speed. They drove right up between me and Denny.” Harvick, who also won the Nationwide Series race on Saturday night, started from the pole and led the first 80 laps, but was denied his attempt for a weekend sweep. Logano, who won last week at Bristol, finished 14th. Stewart’s problems started when he went into the wall earlier in the race following a collision with Kyle Busch. Kenseth began the night fifth in the points race, but was not yet

locked into the Chase because he had no wins. Kenseth needed to finish seventh or better to secure his place in the playoffs. After leading the final 159 laps of his dominant Nationwide series win on Saturday night, Harvick resumed his mastery of the Atlanta Motor Speedway track. Starting from his series-leading sixth pole of the season, Harvick led the first 80 laps, giving him a combined 239 consecutive laps led at the track over two races. Hamlin passed Harvick for the lead after Jeff Gordon, who had been second, blew a tire and slid into the wall on turn 3 on the 78th lap, forcing a yellow flag.

Angels complete 4-game sweep of Athletics By The Associated Press

ANAHEIM, Calif. — Mike Trout hit his career-high 31st homer and drove in three runs, rookie Matt Shoemaker pitched seven shutout innings of five-hit ball, and the Los Angeles Angels finished off a four-game sweep, beating the Oakland Athletics 8-1 Sunday. The Angels won their sixth in row and own the best record in the majors at 83-53. They shut out the A’s for the 29 consecutive innings while

opening a five-game lead atop the AL West heading into September. Trout had a two-run single during a six-run second inning. Chris Iannetta homered and had three hits for Los Angeles, which has won 15 of 19. The A’s have lost 14 of 20. Shoemaker (14-4) won for the sixth time in August and extended his scoreless streak to 23 1-3 innings. Scott Kazmir (14-7) got just four outs. A’s

Sports Briefs McDonald arrested for domestic violence

SAN JOSE, Calif. — San Francisco 49ers defensive tackle Ray McDonald was arrested early Sunday on felony domestic violence charges after officers responded to a home in an upscale neighborhood, San Jose police said. Sgt. Heather Randol, a police spokeswoman, declined to discuss the circumstances that led to McDonald’s arrest, saying only that officers had probable cause to take him into custody. McDonald, 29, was later released from Santa Clara County Jail after posting $25,000 bail. He wouldn’t discuss what happened with television news reporters who approached him after he posted bail. “I can’t say too much, not right now, but the truth will come out. Everybody knows the kind of person that I am,” McDonald said. “I’m a good-hearted person.” NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell announced tougher penalties this past week for players accused of domestic violence. The move followed scrutiny over Baltimore Ravens running back Ray Rice’s two-game penalty stemming from his arrest on an assault charge in February.

Smith signs extension with Chiefs KANSAS CITY, Mo. — When he was traded to the Kansas City Chiefs last offseason, quarterback Alex Smith professed his admiration for coach Andy Reid and his excitement at playing for the storied franchise. Now, he could have that opportunity for at least four more years. Smith signed a $68 million extension Sunday to remain with the Chiefs through the 2018 season, a person familiar with the deal told The Associated Press. The person spoke on condition of anonymity because the team did not disclose the terms of the contract. Smith, who is due $7.5 million this season, will receive $45 million in new guarantees.

Pats trade Mallett to Houston Jimmy Garoppolo will be carrying a clipboard for Tom Brady on the New England Patriots’ sideline this season. The Patriots traded former Brady backup Ryan Mallett to the Houston Texans on Sunday, elevating Garoppolo to the No. 2 job behind the two-time NFL MVP. Garoppolo was a second-round pick in this year’s draft — the highest coach Bill Belichick has ever selected a quarterback in New England.

49ers end Boone’s holdout SAN FRANCISCO — Holdout right guard Alex Boone has agreed to a $6 million, two-year contract with the San Francisco 49ers that replaces the two years remaining on his previous deal, a person with direct knowledge of the contract said Sunday. Boone, represented by the agency of Schwartz & Feinsod, is expected to join the 49ers as soon as Monday as they prepare for their season opener at Dallas next Sunday. The person spoke Sunday on condition of anonymity because the team had yet to announce Boone’s return. He missed the Niners’ offseason program and was subject to fines for his absences from the mandatory minicamp and training camp. Those fines will be waived, the person said.

No. 10 Baylor routs SMU WACO, Texas — Bryce Petty took a bruising shot to his lower back on No. 10 Baylor’s first offensive drive in its new riverfront stadium. The reigning Big 12 offensive player of the year then moved gingerly at times, often grabbing at his back and side between plays the rest of the first half. Petty still managed to have a big impact in the impressive debut of McLane Stadium, accounting for three touchdowns in a 45-0 victory over SMU on Sunday night. He did not play in the second half.

Team USA gets past Turkey BILBAO, Spain — They figured it would be simple, that they would just beat up on Turkey like they did Finland a night earlier. Instead, the Americans were the ones on the ropes for nearly three quarters. “I guess we felt like last night’s game was pretty easy and tonight was going to be the same way, but Turkey came out and they gave us their punch from the beginning,” forward James Harden said. “We took it and we were sluggish. That second half we played a lot better.” Kenneth Faried scored 22 points, Anthony Davis all of his 19 in the second half, and the U.S. rebounded from a rare deficit at halftime to beat Turkey 98-77 on Sunday in the Basketball World Cup. — The Associated Press

Henley leads Deutsche Bank by 1 By The Associated Press

NORTON, Mass. — Russell Henley made five birdies in a seven-hole stretch Sunday on his way to a 6-under 65, giving him a one-shot lead in the Deutsche Bank Championship going into a Labor Day finish loaded with possibilities. And that includes Rory McIlroy. Coming off a week that was pedestrian by his standards, McIlroy got right back into the mix at the TPC Boston with his power and great iron play for a 64, leaving him just two shots behind on a crowded leaderboard. “I’ve been in this position quite a lot recently,” McIlroy

said. “So I know how it’s going to feel tomorrow.” It feels a lot like the FedEx Cup playoff opener a week ago at The Barclays, with more than a dozen players having a reasonable chance going into the final round. Ten players were separated by four shots at the Deutsche Bank Championship, and six of them already have won this season. Henley was at 12-under 201. He will play in the final group with Billy Horschel, who birdied his last three holes for a 67.

Portland Classic with a par on the first hole of a playoff against South Korea’s I.K. Kim. It was the first professional victory for the 22-year-old Ernst, who shot a 5-under 67 in the final round to get to 14 under at Columbia Edgewater. Kim, the first- and secondround leader, carded a 68. Kim missed an eight-foot par putt in the playoff that handed the win to the American. CHAMPIONS TOUR

CALGARY, Alberta — Fred Couples won the Champions LPGA TOUR Tour’s Shaw Charity ClasPORTLAND, Ore. — Aus- sic, chipping in for eagle for a tin Ernst won the LPGA Tour’s course-record 9-under 61 and

beating Billy Andrade with a tap-in birdie on the first hole of a playoff. The 54-year-old Couples also eagled the par-5 11th and had five birdies in his third straight bogey-free round at Canyon Meadows. Andrade closed with a 62, making a short eagle putt on the par5 18th to match Couples at 15-under 195. In the playoff on No. 18, Andrade went for the green in two and pulled his approach right of the green and into the grandstand. Couples laid up and hit his third within a foot. After taking a drop, Andrade left his chip 30 feet short and missed his birdie putt.

Wozniacki takes out Sharapova RACHEL COHEN AP Sports Writer

NEW YORK — Caroline Wozniacki trusts her stamina so much that she plans to return to New York in two months to run a marathon. Maria Sharapova, usually the one wearing down opponents in the third set, sure couldn’t keep up on a steamy Sunday at the U.S. Open. Wozniacki won 6-4, 2-6, 6-2 in 2 hours, 37 minutes to get back to her first Grand Slam quarterfinal in more than two years — and get back in the headlines for reasons other than her personal life. “The season for me has been a little bit up and down,” she said in quite an understatement, “and it’s so nice to kind of start feeling like I’m playing the way I want to.” Because of the heat, the players received a 10-minute break before the final set; Sharapova returned to the court late, arguing with the chair umpire after receiving a time violation warning. Perhaps sensing that she was fresher than the five-time major champion, Wozniacki later complained that Sharapova was dawdling between points. Her tardiness seemed to swing the Arthur Ashe Stadium crowd’s support squarely in Wozniacki’s favor. When the 10th-seeded Dane broke Sharapova at love to go up 3-1 in the final set, she got a standing ovation from the fans and waved her arms to egg them on. Sharapova had appeared to hit a winner three times on that game’s final point only for Wozniacki to somehow chase down the ball. Finally, Sharapova put a volley into the net. Wozniacki mixed in just enough aggression with her signature defense to keep the pressure on Sharapova in the final set. “She’s very good at getting a lot of balls back and making you hit another one,” Sharapova said. “In the end, I went for a little too much.”

She insisted the conditions didn’t bother her. Sharapova had been 17-6 in three-set matches this year, including her come-from-behind secondround victory here. The fifth-seeded Sharapova’s loss leaves No. 1 Serena Williams as the only woman remaining of the top six. Ninth-seeded Jelena Jankovic was also upset, losing 7-6 (6), 6-3 to 17-year-old Swiss Belinda Bencic. With mentor Martina Hingis cheering from the stands, Bencic became the youngest U.S. Open quarterfinalist since Hingis herself in 1997. After a sloppy first set, Sharapova was painting the lines in the second. Wozniacki seemed to spend most of it watching in dismay as one of Sharapova’s 22 winners whizzed by. Wozniacki said she told herself before the third set to go for her shots. “If I’m going to lose,” she recalled thinking, “at least I’m going to do it with dignity.” She closed out the match by breaking Sharapova’s serve again with a backhand winner. About a half-hour later, thunderstorms halted play with second-seeded Roger Federer down a break in the first set to Marcel Granollers. Federer acknowledged the two-hour delay helped him regroup. While Granollers won the first set, Federer dominated the rest of the way, winning 4-6, 6-1, 6-1, 6-1. Unlike the women’s draw, the men’s side didn’t lose a top-10 player until Sunday, when fourthseeded David Ferrer was upset by Gilles Simon in the third round 6-3, 3-6, 6-1, 6-3. Sixth-seeded Tomas Berdych and No. 7 Grigor Dimitrov also advanced. Dominic Thiem, 20, made his first Grand Slam round of 16 with a straight-set win over 19th-seeded Feliciano Lopez. Another first was achieved in the women’s draw by Peng Shuai, who had never been to a major quarterfinal before beating 14th-seeded Lucie Safarova 6-3, 6-4.

Every also submitted an ACR asking the board to consider allowing managers to restrict the mesh size in the setnet fishery when the Kasilof River sockeye goal is being met or exceeded. Every wrote that Kasilof sockeyes are small, and the fishery needs to target the fish that are the reason for the opener — and avoid catching others. Another setnetter, Joseph Person, submitted an ACR asking for an adjustment to the

“The fact is that in most lockdown situations the event is usually over before law enforcement gets there to save the day,” Erkeneff said. “It is very sobering.” Kenai Police Department Lt. David Ross said the training takes a close look at intense situations that demonstrate the need for the district and law enforcement agencies to collaborate and make changes to the previous plan. With so many different schools in the district — some with agencies nearby and others not as close — Ross said the training has provided a good chance to exchange ideas and safety options. Jones said at schools fires are dealt with by the fire departments so it makes sense to involve officers to develop plans for with intruder situations. On the final day of training officers and troopers were engaged in lockdown scenarios where two groups were asked to react to an armed shooter. The

gear restrictions so that fishermen can use four shorter nets rather than three 35 fathom nets, as long as the total length remained shorter than 105 meshes. Every has also asked the board to remove one of the provisions added to the management plan last winter, which calls for limited August fishing timing when the Kenai River late-run king salmon escapement is likely to come in between 16,500 and 22,500 fish. The drift fleet is also asking for a change, which would adjust how the one percent rule is calculated. Under the one

percent rule, fishing ends when sockeyes are no longer the target species. Fisherman Michael Hatten has requested a change to the calculation so that the fleet would have more of a chance to target other species, including pinks and chums. Fishermen this summer said they would have appreciated more opportunity to harvest pinks as the sockeye run ended, and the rule change would likely allow that in the future. Not every change proposed relates to the management plans as adjusted this year. Every asked the board to consider limiting the personal

‘The fact is that in most lockdown situations the event is usually over before law enforcement gets there to save the day.’ — Pegge Erkeneff, KPBSD spokesperson group was divided into two, and in the first scenario were asked to follow traditional lockdown methods, and in the second they had more freedom in using alternative ways of dealing with situation. Alaska State Trooper Blake Calhoun acted as the shooter for the first scenario. He was handed an Airsoft gun, and was directed to shoot the “staff and students.” Greg Crane said this level of practice was not appropriate for younger trainees, and should only be used in teaching instructors. “The (in-school) training will always be age appropriate,” Erkeneff. When the two groups reconvened, Calhoun reflected that when entering the room where staff and students were only allowed to find refuge in the corners and behind furniture, it was

like “shooting cattle.” Greg Crane asked Calhoun if he had ever thought to make it easier on himself and walk inside the room, to which Calhoun had responded that it was easy enough from the doorway. Greg Crane said it is also unnatural for police officers to feel comfortable walking up to a target and shooting point-blank range. Erkeneff said she had only observed lockdown drills and had never been engaged in one. She said she realized how noncompliant she felt with the current procedure and in reality would never feel comfortable sitting passively and not being more proactive in a lockdown situation. Especially during the last four years law enforcement presence has increased in area schools, which helps officers to get to know staff, students and

use fishery. Every’s proposal would create a tiered drawing for participants, and a 300,000 sockeye limit, as monitored by four check stations. Every also submitted an ACR asking the board to allow setnetters with two permits to use them in different areas. Currently, a setnetter with two permits can only fish them in one area. Sportfishermen aren’t asking for any changes right away. Kenai River Sportfishing Association Executive Director Ricky Gease said that there are a couple errors in regulation the board might be able to adjust, but there was nothing major

that needed to be revisited from his perspective. “It’s the first year that the management plans were put in place, and overall, I think that the management plans worked as intended,” Gease said. ADFG submitted one ACR to adjust fishing guide regulations to better match state law. That change would address the licensing and registration requirements for sport fishing guides so that they match what is in state statute. According to the ACR, not all of the current regulations are enforceable. Stakeholders in other regions have also asked for fish-

ery management changes. The board will consider a total of 29 ACRs at its October work session. Outside of Cook Inlet, five address Bering Sea tanner crab and Norton Sound king crab, three ask for changes to Kuskokwim River salmon fisheries, and two address Yukon River salmon fisheries. There are also two proposals each for Bristol Bay salmon fisheries, Southeast herring and Pacific cod, as well as one relating to purse seine lengths.

the building, Erkeneff said. Prior to ALICE, schools didn’t have a “plan B” for intruder situations, this program allows for options, she said. Jones said he likes that ALICE calls for real time alerts. Administrators can announce where in the building an intruder is which can allow for staff and students in another area of the school to evacuate if possible. During the new few weeks, Erkeneff said administrators will be setting up ALICE training for staff and students at KPBSD schools and will be doing a lot of parent communication about the procedure. The concept for ALICE began in 2001, Greg Crane said, and has since been implemented in more than 1,000 school districts across the country. In Alaska, the Matanuska-Susitna Borough and Valdez City school districts practicing ALICE procedures. The U.S. Department of Homeland Security’s Run Hide Fight is a similar program that moves from encouraging being passive in intruder situations to being proactive. Similar to ALICE it allows for staff and students to choose how to best re-

act in different scenarios. Jones said the district did look at that procedure as well as revising its lockdown strategy, but Run Hide Fight didn’t have as many response options as ALICE. Erika Thompson, a teacher at the Whittier Community School, said any age group would be able to pull off barricading the doorways to prevent an intruder from entering the classroom, and even enjoyed trying to figure out the best furniture to use. “Even if we practiced twice a

year, or once a month, my students would be so dialed in on that,” Thompson said. She said after even a few regular practices her students would be able to pull of the proactive lockdown methods like clockwork.

Moving day

Students arrive at new UAS dorm By KATIE MORITZ Morris News Service-Alaska Juneau Empire

New students, meet your dorm. New dorm, meet your students. Clothes, TVs, blankets, pillows and other must-haves were hauled through the open doors of the brand new freshman residence hall Wednesday morning at the University of Alaska Southeast as the dorm opened to residents for the first time. Ninety-five students are registered to live in the hall in its inaugural semester; as of late Wednesday morning, about half of them had moved in, some with parents in tow, others already flying solo. Palmer’s Maddie Cullers and An-

chorage’s Sammie Shephard are new roommates who just met Wednesday morning while moving into the suitestyle hall. Shephard’s mom was helping her move in, but Cullers tackled her first day at college on her own, which she said was “overwhelming” at first. “Now I’m here I’m pretty OK with it,” she said. Both women chose UAS because of its small, friendly feel. Neither had heard a lot about the university but fell in love with it during campus visits. “I like small,” Cullers said. “When I heard about this, I was like, wow, perfect.” Shephard said she considered her hometown University of Alaska Anchorage but wanted to move farther

away while staying in state. “I felt UAA was a commuter school, not such a homey place,” Shephard said. UAS Director of Campus Life Eric Scott said he hopes excellent student experiences in the new residence hall lead to even more freshmen in coming years. The hall has 110 student beds and is not full for the semester. He said more students are supposed to move in for the spring semester. Even without all the new beds full, this crop of freshmen wouldn’t have fit in the old residence hall — Banfield Hall has only about 80 beds, freshman adviser Nathan Bodenstadt said. The new hall boasts huge picture See DORM, page B-2

Getting new students up to speed with Set up for Success KPC’s Kenai River Campus will be hosting another installment of the annual Set Up for Success program that’s designed to provide the background necessary for a successful first semester at KPC. The event will be held from 11 a.m.-2 p.m. on Tuesday, Sept. 2 in rooms 108 and 109 in the Ward Building. Since there will be no classes held on Sept. 2 (note that KRC is closed in observance of Labor Day on Sept. 1) students will be able to attend this event without impacting class schedules. ttendees will receive college success tips, learn how to utilize Blackboard (KPC’s online course management system) and UAA/KPC email, navigate financial aid procedures and gain an understanding of the DegreeWorks system on UAOnline. Free pizza will be served and participants will be entered in a drawing for a 32GB Apple iPad Air ($729 value). Due to seating limitations, this event will be limited to 80 students. All attendees must RSVP to reserve a seat at the Kenai Peninsula College Facebook page or by calling Student Services at 262-0330.

Gallery show chronicles students’ European art tour

K enai P eninsula C ollege A round C ampus Souvenirs: Europe 2014, a mixed media exhibit that was created by the KRC Art Students’ League Associations, is currently on display in KRC’s Gary L.

windows with views of Auke Lake and the surrounding mountains. A common area, closed-off study spaces and a meeting room offer different environments within the building. The rooms are suite-style, with two sets of two roommates sharing a bathroom and a kitchen. The building was designed by MRV Architects. The hall’s first inhabitants come to the Auke Bay campus from across the country. Most are from Alaska but others hail from about 20 other states, including Missouri, Texas, Utah, Pennsylvania, Washington, Oregon and California. Freshman Dallin Jones moved to Alaska sight-unseen for the biology program at UAS. His friend and roommate moved from Boise with him. As for Alaska, freshmen flocked from all over the state to UAS this year. A group of six young men from Scammon Bay took a long, multileg flight from their Western Alaska community of 474 people to move in. With a graduating class of only 19, almost a third of the town’s seniors are attending UAS and living in the residence hall. UAS recruiters came to Scammon Bay and “talked to us and convinced us to come,” Norman Charlie said. “Well, asked us to come,” his cousin and best friend,

In this photo taken on Wednesday, Sammie Shephard, left, a freshman from Anchorage, speaks with Eric Scott, director of Campus Life, after she moved into her room at the new freshman student housing at the University of Alaska Southeast in Juneau, Alaska. The new dormitory with room for 110 new students has opened as the university begins its fall semester.

Jace Aguchak, said. All six of the Scammon Bay students are cousins and close friends, he said. They’re rooming together in two of the new hall’s suites. “We all decided we should go to school together,” Aguchak said. He said he’s majoring in marine biology and is most excited about the adult responsibilities of college. “I want to see how I can fare without my mother,” he said, laughing. UAS staff made a point to recruit students in rural Alaska communities this year, Chancellor John Pugh said. Staff also spent two months traveling across Washington, Oregon and California, re-

anticipates enrollment will be right on par with last year’s. Thirty-nine students from Juneau and Douglas are signed up to live in the residence hall this year. Juneau resident Rachel Kindred, who was helping her son Tim Wilson move in, said she thought the residence hall was a good first step to Wilson being on his own. Wilson graduated in May from Yaakoosge Daakahidi Alternative High School. Kindred said he hadn’t always wanted to attend college, but “the last two years at Yaakoosge helped him decide he wanted to.” “He really responded well to (the school) and meeting kids in college,” she said while Wilson filled out paperwork with a student staff member. Kindred said she had just signed her youngest child up for preschool and was now dropping her oldest at college. “I’m planning my nervous breakdown for this weekend,” she said, laughing.

cruiting in those states. “We really need to get more freshmen from Outside,” he said. The school is focusing on Outside recruitment because of a dip in graduating Alaska seniors, Pugh said. Although UAS has “more and more fulltime students,” fewer collegebound Alaskans and fewer students in the school’s Master of Arts in Teaching program means UAS is taking a slight enrollment hit, he said. Enrollment for the fall semester is still going on, but the school already has about 2,700 students signed up. Another 1,000 will probably enroll before classes start Sept.

have already incorporated differentiated learning into their classrooms. Kenna said while specialization is slow to develop it was already something she had been doing. Working with small groups, or groups of special needs students allowed her to cater her curriculum to fit the individual. Strickland said the next step is learning to do things differently. And there is always a next step. Constantly switching things up in the classroom and adding new styles and ways of teaching is a big part of differentiation, she said. The district is unique in that it is dedicated to continuing this method of education for its students, Strickland said. The dedication of principals and administrators plays a huge role in how well differentiation will develop in a school district, she said. “They have been doing this for three years and they aren’t giving up on it,” Strickland said. It takes between three and seven years for an instructor to develop strong skills in differenation, Strickland said. Once that happens, teachers say they feel more creative, and their students are more engaged in learning.

ing about the differentiation method he had more questions than answers. “I am oversimplifying it, but I am a lot more aware of the different ways students learn now” Kornstad said. Kornstad also said he has dramatically changed the way he grades his students. Before he had relied on paper grading, which focused on students coming to the right answer at the end of a problem. Now he incorporates more real time assessment into his grading strategy by interacting with his students more often. Students are more engaged when they see you are invested in learning how they best learn, and that you will respond accordingly to their needs, Kornstad said. Ellen Kenna, a speech pathologist at Nikiski North Star, said the differentiation method poses challenges to planning when having to take into account each student’s specific needs. “Ultimately, I think it is in the best interest of the students,” Kenna said. “You really have to know how they are learning and how they best learn.” Strickland said part of Kelly Sullivan can be her training involves helping reached at kelly.sullivan@ teachers see the ways they peninsulaclarion.com.

Day care operator needs a timeout for her mouth of her. If that’s not possible, Child Protective Services should be notified because the environment is not emotionally healthy for little children. P.S. By the age of 4, children usually have started to repeat the language they hear around them. I’m surprised these parents haven’t noticed Abigail Van Buren the change in their vocabulary and questioned their little ones about where they heard those “bad words.” Nonetheless, on the chance that the parents are clueless, what you have observed should be reported.

My friend paid $300 to send flowers to her for their nine-month anniversary, for which she expressed no thanks or appreciation. What advice can you provide us here? — FRIEND IN AFGHANISTAN DEAR FRIEND: Your friend’s “romance” seems suspicious to me, too. That he is giving all his money to someone who appears to be so emotionally distant is worrisome. I also have to doubt that $800 would keep an able-bodied man from being drafted into the Ukrainian military since the country is now involved in military conflict. It appears your friend is being treated more like an ATM than a suitor, but he may have to arrive at that realization on DEAR ABBY: I have a friend, a contractor work- his own. ing for the U.S. government, who thinks he’s in love Dear Abby is written by Abigail Van Buren, also with a Ukrainian girl.

Hints from Heloise

Jacqueline Bigar’s Stars A baby born today has a Sun in Virgo and a Moon in Scorpio if born before 1:17 p.m. (PDT). Afterward, the Moon will be in Sagittarius. HAPPY BIRTHDAY for Monday, Sept. 1, 2014: This year you open up to better communication between you and others. Your innate sense of direction mixed with your sensitivity provides a new, dynamic path if you are open to change. Infuse your life with energy and caring. If you are single, check out a potential sweetie with scrutiny and perhaps even some cynicism. Someone you meet easily could be emotionally unavailable, which could lead to a hurtful situation. You are one year away from meeting someone significant to your life history. If you are attached, spending time alone with your significant other will delight both of you. Love continues to blossom with your care. SAGITTARIUS grounds 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 Deal with someone directly in the morning. A discussion might reveal that there is a lot of common ground that exists between you. Understand that you have a problem to deal with that might demand some detachment. Tonight: Look beyond the obvious. TAURUS (April 20-May 20) HHHHH Others will be domineering. You might not like the implications of this behavior. Maintain a calm exterior, and hopefully the interior will follow. Use the afternoon to have a long-overdue discussion

Free yourself up in order to maximize its potential. The afternoon will serve you well if you decide to network. This trend will continue for several days. Tonight: Be a duo. CANCER (June 21-July 22) HHHHH Your creativity will be in higher demand than you realize. Be prepared to cover all bases at once, and you just might succeed in doing so. Listen to someone else’s suggestion before you present your own. Do not assume that you have the only answers. Tonight: Play it easy. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) HHHHGettinggoingmighttakemore effort than you realize. You simply won’t be up for running around. Consider how fortunate you are that today is Labor Day. Don’t worry — you will get into the holiday pace in the evening. Tonight: Let out your inner wild child. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) HHHH You might want to say something that’s been on your mind. Use care, as someone could have a strong reaction. Be calm and levelheaded, and it all will work out. Hook up with friends in the afternoon to join in the Labor Day festivities. Tonight: And the party goes on. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) HHHH Curb a tendency to be possessive or jealous, as it only creates tension. It also could aggravate others even more. You might be taken aback by a revelation from someone you care a lot

It is Labor Day, after all, and you’re free to do what you want. Use care with your spending, as it could be nearly impossible to avoid certain costs. Tonight: Let someone else pick up the tab. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) HHHH Listen to a roommate’s or loved one’s thinking in the morning. An idea or two actually might appeal to you. Do adequate reflection on the matter. By the afternoon, you’ll have a solid sense of what you want. Tonight: As you like it. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) HHHH Listen to others during a meeting. Goodwill is likely to circulate among you and others. Use the afternoon for some solid reflection and decision-making. What seems irrelevant could be more significant than you might choose to believe. Tonight: Go with the flow. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) HHHHYourwordsmighthurtafriend, even if your intention was not to zero in on this person’s sensitivities. Make it a point to let him or her know that you simply are concerned with a different matter that concerns someone else. Tonight: Join a loved one for some fun. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) HHHH Defer to someone else, and recognize that the issue is much bigger than he or she will be able to visualize. Understand that you are able to see the big picture, whereas others might not. Take the lead with a project. Tonight: Out till the wee hours.

Called to distraction Dear Readers: Here is this week’s Sound Off, about people doing other things while on the phone: “My Sound Off is people chewing and eating while on the phone. I work as a customer-service/sales person, and it is very distracting, to say nothing of unappealing, to listen to people eat their lunch or snack while you are trying to help them with their problems or sale. “Equally as annoying is talking to people while they are on speakerphone. It is always difficult to hear the customer, and he or she is frequently doing some other task (rustling papers, washing dishes, etc.) while talking to you. I am at your service, so please do me the courtesy of giving me your undivided attention for the few minutes it takes to accomplish our task.” — A Reader, via email It can be distracting and even detrimental! Although many of us do tend to multitask. When I am on hold on the phone, I feel it’s OK to quickly wipe the counter, put dishes in the dishwasher, etc. As far as eating, there are only a few people with whom I might do so while talking on the phone. I do explain that we all are working, and it’s lunchtime. — Heloise Fast Facts Dear Readers: Here are uses for leftover yarn: * Make a “scrap” blanket. * Use in place of ribbon around a gift. * Wrap around hangers so clothes don’t slip off. * Give to kids to make bracelets with. * Tie to zipper pulls or fan pulls to extend them. — Heloise

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

DEAR ABBY: My neighbor has a registered day care business, and every day I hear her screaming at young children and infants. They are all 4-year-olds and younger. We live in a rural area outside a small town. She uses profanity and says mean things to them. It makes me want to cry when I think of how scared those kids must be. Who do I contact with this information? I could record her with my phone if evidence was needed to shut down her business. This woman has a really bad anger management problem. She also knows I can hear her because we have spoken about how our voices travel. I don’t think she is being physically abusive, but her words must be damaging to those kids. Please help me find someone to tell. I’m afraid the local police won’t be able to do anything. I can’t even take my own child in our backyard because she swears so much. — DAY CARE DRAMA IN INDIANA DEAR D.C.D.: Ideally, you should try to tell the parents what you have been hearing because they should be aware that their trusted caregiver loses control of her emotions and takes out her frustrations on their children. If the situation is as ugly as you describe, those kids must be terrified
