Judge strikes down marriage ban State will appeal court’s decision on same-sex marriage By MARK THIESSEN Associated Press

ANCHORAGE — A federal judge on Sunday struck down Alaska’s firstin-the-nation ban on gay marriages, the latest court decision in a busy week for the issue. The state of Alaska will begin ac-

cepting those applications first thing Monday morning, Phillip Mitchell, with the state Department of Vita Statistics, told The Associated Press in an email. Alaska has a three-day waiting period between between applications and marriage ceremonies. The late Sunday afternoon decision caught many people off guard. No ral-

lies were immediately planned, but some plaintiffs celebrated over drinks at an Anchorage bar. Matthew Hamby, who along with his husband Christopher Shelden was one of five couples to sue, was “just have drinks with friends, enjoying it.” He said he was “elated” U.S. District Court Judge Timothy Burgess sided with

hey couldn’t have timed it better. As the last of the interagency team of invasive northern pike killers stepped off of the Derks Lake on Thursday, it began to snow in Soldotna. If all goes according to plan the fish killing piscicide rotenone will work its way through each of the four lakes treated by the Alaska Department of Fish and Game, its degradation slowed by the coming winter. When it breaks down completely, it will leave behind pristine, but empty, waters to be restocked with native fish in the coming years. The state agency moved quickly after getting the final approval for the extensive project which, when completed, will be the eighth and largest pike killing proj-

ect to-date in the state. It will take four years and more than $1 million in both state and grant funding, but if the plan

succeeds, the Soldotna Creek Drainage should be free of northern pike by 2018. As dozens of personnel in bright yellow hazardous materials suits crossed East Mackey lake on Wednesday, Area Management Biologist Robert Begich and Assistant Area Management Biologist Jason Pawluk sat in a boat netting dead pike that floated to the surface. “We’ve not picked up any other kind of fish,” Begich said. The rotenone is being applied in two forms, powder and liquid. Both compounds have to be mixed with the lake water, as the chemical is not very water soluble, before they’re applied. Several boats on the lake apply the poison and

Flights briefly grounded after threat ANCHORAGE (AP) — Officials at Anchorage’s international airport say flights were briefly grounded after someone called in a threat. KTUU reports that the Saturday night incident is being investigated by the FBI and other authorities. KTVA says someone was taken into custody in connection with the call. Ted Stevens Anchorage International Airport general manager John Parrott says the caller “appeared to be somewhat impaired.” Parrott says someone called Anchorage police dispatchers shortly after 9 p.m. Saturday and said the next plane departing would explode. He says no particular airport or airline was mentioned. Parrott says federal authorities grounded all flights at the airport for about 20 minutes. According to Parrott, individual airlines made the decision on whether to stay grounded or to take off.

Bogged down in multipleyear, multi-billion dollar state budget deficits, Alaskans have been nervously watching North Slope oil production and hoping for an uptick. They’ve largely forgotten about oil prices, the other side of the state oil revenue equation. The news is not good, at least for the budget. For consumers, however, it’s good news because it means lower fuel prices, although those prices are usually “sticky,” meaning they don’t fall as quickly as crude oil. Alaska North Slope crude oil prices have been declining steadily since July, from about $111 per barrel in early July to about $91 per barrel on Oct. 3. A drop in oil prices costs the state treasury in lost revenue, state Revenue Commissioner Angela Rodell says, and this would basically add to the expected $1.4 billion budget deficit that is projected for the fiscal year. That estimate of the deficit assumes a $104 per barrel average price for fiscal year 2015, which began July 1. However, some good news is that state revenues are better off under the state’s new oil production tax, the More Alaska Production Act upheld by voters in the Aug. 19 primary, than they would have been under the previous state oil tax, known as ACES. “We are much better protected under MAPA than we would have been at these oil prices,” Rodell said. MAPA has a fixed tax rate of 35 percent while the tax rate under ACES fluctuated with changes in oil values and See DROP, page A-12

Amazing competition By KELLY SULLIVAN Peninsula Clarion

From Seward, to Hope, Nikiski and Homer, 48 teams from across the Kenai Peninsula Borough School District convened in the auditorium at Soldotna Prep School Saturday afternoon with one common objective — to win this year’s Mind Amazes competition. For weeks the groups ranging from three to four members have been tweaking and modifying designs for the LongTerm Problem portion of the

competition. The students created aerodynamic contraptions scored on how straight the device could travel and how far it could move with only wind to propel it. Gabriel Miller, a member of The Sci-Fighters from Ninilchik School, had to fold in half the massive red sail that guided his team’s wheeled boat-like system just to get through the school’s double doors. Brian Bailey, an organizer for this year’s event, said the annual competition teaches some very important skills to

the participants. Communication and problem solving are the main two, but he has taught his own students to learn how to be unafraid of fear. “I think it actually helps to experience failure,” Bailey said. “But the students do get very competitive about it.” When the competitor is not worried about the final outcome, they think more creatively, Bailey said. They are less Photo by Kelly Sullivan/ Peninsula Clarion afraid to take risks.

NEW YORK — A letter by Charles Darwin on the sex life of barnacles and a still-working vintage Apple computer — one of only 50 made in Steve Jobs’ garage in 1976 — are among the unique pieces of science history up for auction this month. Buyers at the Oct. 22 event at Bonhams will need deep pockets. The Steve Wozniakdesigned Apple 1 computer is estimated to bring $300,000 to $500,000. One sold at auction last year for $671,000. For something really exotic, potential buyers can fork over an estimated $150,000 to $250,000 for a Manhattan Project viewing window that shielded scientists on the secret World War II bomb project from radiation. The clear yellow glass, measuring approximately 3 feet by 4 feet and weighing 1,500 pounds, contains 70 percent lead oxide. “It’s the first time a full win-

dow from the Manhattan Project has come on the market,” said Cassandra Hatton, Bonhams’ specialist on the history of science. The auction also has a wide range of globes and other technological instruments. They include the earliest electric keyboard, a rare 1905 Helmholtz sound synthesizer with a pre-sale estimate of $20,000 to $30,000. Hatton says this is Bonhams’ first sale in New York of artifacts of science and technology, which has become a growing area of interest among techsavvy buyers. “I think increasingly things — the stuff of our world — is attracting collectors who consider and value the historical and cultural context of artifacts as much as their material value,” added Sarah Lichtman, director of The New School’s master’s degree program in the history of decorative arts and design. Darwin’s 1857 letter to a colleague about barnacles is “classic Darwin” and “definite-

ly amusing,” said David Kohn, director and general editor of the Darwin Manuscripts Project at the American Museum of Natural History. “It’s Darwin’s passion for the meaning of sex,” Kohn said. The letter’s historical signif-

icance, Kohn said, “is that Darwin’s still pursuing this evolutionary theme of reproduction. ... Darwin is observing, fishing and finding the exact significance of it.” Kohn said there’s a big market for Darwin letters.

Spiders drive family from home

WELDON SPRING, Mo. (AP) — A family was driven from their suburban St. Louis home by thousands of venomous spiders that fell from the ceiling and oozed from the walls. Brian and Susan Trost bought the $450,000 home overlooking two golf holes at Whitmoor Country Club in Weldon Spring in October 2007 and soon afterward started seeing brown recluse spiders everywhere, The St. Louis Post-Dispatch reported. Once when showering, Susan Trost dodged a spider as it fell from the ceiling and washed down the drain. She told St. Louis television station KMOV-TV in 2012 the spiders “started bleeding out of the walls,” and at least two pest control companies were unable to eradicate the infestation. The couple filed a claim in 2008 with their insurance company, State Farm, and a lawsuit against the home’s previous owners for not disclosing the brown recluse problem. At a civil trial in St. Charles County in October 2011, University of Kansas biology professor Jamel Sandidge — considered one of the nation’s leading brown recluse researchers — estimated there were between 4,500 and 6,000 spiders in the home. Making matters worse, he said, those calculations were made in the winter when the spiders are least active. The jury awarded the couple slightly more than $472,000, but the former owners declared bankruptcy, the insurance company still didn’t pay anything and the couple moved out two years ago. The home, now owned by the Federal National Mortgage Association, was covered with nine tarps this week and workers filled it with a gas that permeated the walls to kill the spiders and their eggs. “There’ll be nothing alive in there after this,” said Tim McCarthy, president of the company hired to fix the problem once and for all.

Around the Peninsula

With a large number of high tunnels constructed on the Kenai Peninsula, there is now a significant tunnel gardening history to draw from for people contemplating a tunnel purchase or who have a new one. Local gardeners who have had a tunnel for some years, like Lee and Julie Bowman, Don Thompson, Velma Bittick and Tom Gotcher, Liz and Bill Lynch, frequently have visitors stop in to ask about what to do now that they have this fabulous structure. This is the topic of the October Garden Club program featuring a panel of local growers with more than 4 years of high tunnel growing experience to share regarding tunnel features, the current news from the Cost Share Program, and best practices so new tunnel growers don’t waste tunnel growing space, time and money reinventing the wheel. Find out more at the Garden Club program on Tuesday at 7 p.m. at the Cook Inlet Aquaculture Building, Mile 16.5 on Kalifornsky Beach Road, not far from the Bridge Access intersection. The presentation is free and open to the public.

More background checks for Fairbanks schools FAIRBANKS (AP) — The Fairbanks North Star Borough School District has begun conducting more background checks on volunteers who spend time alone with children. The checks are part of the school district’s tightening up of some student safety procedures, the Fairbanks Daily News-Miner reported. “We need to make sure that we do a proper screening to make sure folks are appropriate to be around kids,” school district human resources director Traci Gatewood said.

“No matter what, we have the responsibility to always keep kids safe.” The action follows allegations that a Hutchison High School tutor, Claude Fowlkes III, sexually abused a student. Fowlkes has been jailed since March. He has denied the charges. The background checks for volunteers have been required for at least a decade, Gatewood said. Not all schools were following the procedure, however. “Was it done to the degree

that we needed it to be done? quired to have background No, it was not,” Gatewood said. checks. “It’s just one of those things where you need to clearly define what the expectations are as often as possible.” Comprehensive background checks and fingerprinting already are required for teachers and staff.

What Others Say

Energy policy impacts global relations The net U.S. energy import ratio (im-

ports minus exports) was 30 percent at its peak just nine years ago. In 2012, the figure was 16 percent; by 2040 it could be as low as 4 percent. John Manzella, writing in his Manzella Report, says this trend has profound implications on global relationships. Some major sources of energy exports to the United States — Russia, Venezuela and Saudia Arabia — will be hurt economically. With falling U.S. dependency on Middle Eastern oil, the world’s largest consumer of energy will have increasing influence in the Mideast. That consumer is China. The net import changes have enormous potential to help the U.S. economy. Policy changes we support, including lifting the ban on crude oil exports from the United States and fast-tracking liquefied natural gas terminal permits, would make this even more true. Aside from the obvious benefit to the American economy, what will the moving energy picture mean for geopolitics? It may be trite to say that energy is politics and politics is energy, but the truth of the statement is self-evident. A decline in dependency on Russian oil and gas among European nations would decrease Vladimir Putin’s ability to behave badly. Countries dependent on Russian energy are reluctant to criticize Putin’s moves. What happens in China won’t stay in China. If the Chinese economy expands and taps more and more Mideast oil, exporting countries will prosper and energy prices will be higher. But if China can’t supplant the U.S. as a major importer of Mideast oil, Manzella said, “global energy prices may remain relatively low or not rise to levels projected in the past.” We’re already seeing the downside of recent lower oil prices in Oklahoma. Many of the publicly traded Oklahoma oil and gas producers saw their share prices drop in the third quarter, by as much as 40 percent. This bad news should be tempered by the realization that, long term, the United States is better off when it’s less dependent on Mideast oil. And the world is better off if Russia loses leverage because of lower energy prices — and/or if U.S. exports supply some of what Russia’s been shipping to Europe. The U.S. energy boom has wiped out predictions made not so long ago that American demand for energy would continue to increase its vulnerability to unstable governments halfway across the globe. Last year, domestic energy production fulfilled nearly 85 percent of U.S. demand. The nation’s superior and pioneering use of new drilling technologies has tapped vast reserves of oil and gas. Can’t those same technologies be used elsewhere in the world and erase the advantage the United States now has? Perhaps, Manzella says, but in the short term the U.S. energy boom is unlikely to be replicated. America has an edge, he says, because of the huge base of shale/tight oil plays, private ownership of mineral rights, thousands of independent drilling companies, a large census of drilling rigs and “strong capital markets that fund new ventures.” In England, where on-shore energy reserves may be abundant, individuals don’t own mineral rights. Surface landowners are loath to accept disruptive drilling activity that won’t benefit them financially. The wild card in the advance to an extremely low U.S. net import rate over the next 25 years is government policy — in particular, potential restrictions on hydraulic fracturing and a crackdown on how oil is transported. Perhaps of greater concern, long term, is China. It’s become the largest importer of Mideast oil. What will the Chinese do militarily to safeguard their oceanic pipeline of energy supplies? The bottom line, in Manzella’s view, is that although America is becoming more energy secure, “subsequent events could make the global environment more volatile.” That’s all the more reason to encourage domestic energy production with rational and realistic federal energy and environmental policies. — The Oklahoman, Oklahoma City, Oklahoma, Oct. 7

Compared with President Barack Obama, even Jimmy Carter is John McCain. The former president practically synonymous with American weakness and retreat thinks Obama was too slow to act against ISIS and gives his current strategy only “a possibility of success,” provided it involves (unspecified) ground troops. When you are too passive for Jimmy Carter, it’s time for some soul-searching in the Situation Room. The late-1970s are calling and want their foreign policy back. The war against ISIS so far is desultory and occasional, a campaign of underwhelming force. ISIS has still been on the verge of taking the Syrian town of Khobani, abutting the Turkish border, and on the offensive in Iraq. The erstwhile JV team is defying all the military might that the world’s lone superpower is willing to muster. There has been renewed talk of how, as former Secretary of Defense Leon Panetta put it the other day, the fight against terrorism will be a 30-year war. At this rate, it will be a generational struggle merely to get ISIS out of Mosul. To this point, almost everything has lent credence to the skeptical interpretation of Obama’s war: That in reaction to a spectacular media event (the horrific ISIS beheadings), the president staged his own media event, an inconsequential bombing campaign accompanied by a tough-sounding, prime-time speech. The experience of the surge in Afghani-

stan, the red-line fiasco and now this suggest that Obama is a hawk precisely to the extent he feels the politics don’t allow him to wiggle out of it. His talk of Afghanistan as the good war Rich Lowry in the 2008 campaign was too fresh for him to countenance an immediate defeat. So he ordered the surge and tried never to speak of it again, and now wants to completely liquidate our military presence on the failed model of Iraq. He had seemed determined to strike Syria after Bashar Assad used chemical weapons last year, then found a way to crab-walk away from his own earnest warnings. The war against ISIS happens to be just enough to placate the public’s hawkish mood without getting too far out in front or taking actions that will fully commit the president. The Powell Doctrine is to use maximum military power to achieve a clear objective; the Obama Doctrine evidently is to use minimal military power to create a vague impression. Message: I care about defeating ISIS, for now. If the president intended to catch up to public opinion, he hasn’t gotten there yet. A Fox News poll last week found that 57 percent of people think our actions against the Islamic State haven’t been aggressive

enough. Sixty percent of Democrats (Jimmy Carter apparently among them) don’t think Obama has been tough enough in taking on Islamic radicals. The critics include two of his former defense secretaries, both of whom have taken the extraordinary step of publicly criticizing him. Who knows what Chuck Hagel eventually will have to say? The anti-ISIS campaign is a brilliant tactical success, in the sense that we are hitting what we target. But it is a strategic nullity. It is too small to make much of a difference, and there are limits to how much can be done exclusively from the air anyway. We can bomb fixed targets — refineries and bridges — and perhaps tanks and large troop movements. The problem is that ISIS is a guerrilla force not highly vulnerable from the air, and it becomes even less so once it is entrenched in cities. Regardless, there are no American ground controllers on the front lines, and they are essential to meaningful precision targeting. If they are ruled out — together with the troops necessary to provide protection and logistics — the campaign against ISIS looks like a holding action. It caused a minor furor when Obama said a few weeks ago that he didn’t have a strategy against ISIS yet. The scandal is that, with American planes dropping bombs in two countries, he still doesn’t.

Americans worry — can government protect us? By JILL COLVIN and JENNIFER AGIESTA Associated Press

WASHINGTON — Americans lack confidence in the government’s ability to protect their personal safety and economic security, a sign that their widespread unease about the state of the nation extends far beyond politics, according to the latest Associated Press-GfK poll. With Election Day about a month away, more than half those in the survey said Washington can do little to effectively lessen threats such as climate change, mass shootings, racial tensions, economic uncertainty and an unstable job market. “I think what we’ve got going on here in America is the perfect storm of not good things,” said Joe Teasdale, 59, who lives in southwest Wisconsin and works as an assistant engineer at a casino. For many of those questioned in the poll, conducted before doctors in Texas diagnosed a Liberian man with the Ebola virus, the concern starts with the economy. The poll found that 9 in 10 of those most likely to vote in the Nov. 4 election call the economy an extremely or very important issue. Teasdale is among those who say the slow recovery from the recession is a top concern. Despite improvements nationally, business is far from booming in his state, Teasdale said. He’s been supplementing his stagnant salary by renovating and renting out duplexes and has little faith the situation will improve soon. He wants government to get out of the way of business. “If you’re putting so much restriction on them where it isn’t practical for them to expand or grow, why should they?” Teasdale asked. Those surveyed also pointed to events such as the protests in Ferguson, Missouri, that followed the fatal police shooting an unarmed black 18-year-old and the beheading of a woman in an Oklahoma food processing plant, apparently at the hand of a suspended co-worker. “This is the first time I’ve felt insecure in my own country,” said Jan Thomas, 75, of Stevensville, Montana. “Especially after the beheading in Oklahoma. That’s scary.” The poll found that Democrats tend to

express more faith in the government’s ability to protect them than do Republicans. Yet even among Democrats, just 27 percent are confident the government can keep them safe from terrorist attacks. Fewer than 1 in 5 say so on each of the other issues, including climate change. “There’s too many people who still don’t believe that it’s happening,” bemoaned Felicia Duncan, 53, who lives in Sharonville, Ohio, a suburb of Cincinnati, and works as an office manager at a mechanical contracting company. Urbanites tend to be more confident the government will keep them safe from terrorist threats than do people living in suburbs and rural areas. Younger Americans are more confident than older people that the government can minimize the threat of mass shootings. When it comes to quelling racial tensions, Hispanics are more confident than are blacks and whites. Thirteen years after the Sept. 11 attacks, and as the Obama administration conducts airstrikes against Islamic State militants in Syria and Iraq, only 1 in 5 in the poll say they are extremely or very confident the government can keep them safe from another terrorist attack. Four in 10 express moderate confidence. While there has not been a large-scale terrorist attack on U.S. soil since 9/11, roughly one-third of Americans say they Associated Press writer Janet McConare not too confident or not confident at naughey in New Orleans contributed to all in the government’s ability to prevent this report. another.

Bill Denison, 85, who lives in Bradenton, Florida, is among the minority who thinks the government is doing a good job keeping citizens safe, at least when it comes to preventing domestic attacks. “Overall I think that the best job that we’ve done in this country is with antiterrorism,” he said. “We’re doing a magnificent job and so far it’s been pretty successful.” Still, he expressed disbelief at the recent security breaches involving Secret Service agents, including an incident in which a man scaled the White House fence and made his way deep into the executive mansion. “The fact that a guy can run into the White House is pretty disturbing,” he said. “But we’re only human.

Nation Health worker tests positive for Ebola By NOMAAN MERCHANT Associated Press

DALLAS — A “breach of protocol” at the hospital where Ebola victim Thomas Eric Duncan was treated before his death led to the infection of a health care worker with the deadly virus, and other caregivers could potentially be exposed, federal health officials said Sunday. The hospital worker, a woman who was not identified by officials, wore protective gear while treating the Liberian patient, and she has been unable to point to how the breach might have occurred, said Dr. Tom Frieden, head of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. Duncan was the first person in the U.S. diagnosed with Ebola. The CDC confirmed Sunday afternoon that the woman had tested positive for Ebola — the first known case of the disease being contracted or transmitted in the U.S. The missteps with the first patient and now the infection of a caregiver raised questions about assurances given by U.S. health officials that any American hospital should be able to treat an Ebola patient and that the disease would be contained. At a briefing in Atlanta, Frieden said that at some point during Duncan’s treatment, “there was a breach in protocol, and that breach in protocol resulted in this infection.” He added that officials were “deeply concerned” by the infection of the worker. President Barack Obama asked the CDC to move as quickly as possible in investigating the incident, the White

Police stand guard outside the apartment of a hospital worker and a yellow barrel, left, that holds hazardous materials, Sunday in Dallas.

House said. Dallas police stood guard outside her apartment complex and told people not to go inside. Officers also knocked on doors, made automated phone calls and passed out fliers to notify people within a fourblock radius about the situation, although Dallas authorities assured residents the risk was confined to those who have had close contact with the two Ebola patients. The worker wore a gown, gloves, mask and shield while she cared for Duncan during his second visit to Texas Health Presbyterian Hospital, said Dr. Daniel Varga of Texas Health Resources, which runs the hospital. Duncan, who arrived in the U.S. from Liberia to visit family Sept. 20, first sought medical care for fever and abdominal pain Sept. 25. He told a nurse he had traveled from Africa, but

he was sent home. He returned Sept. 28 and was placed in isolation because of suspected Ebola. He died Wednesday. Liberia is one of the three West African countries most affected by the Ebola epidemic, which has killed more than 4,000 people, according to World Health Organization figures published Friday. The others are Sierra Leone and Guinea. Texas health officials have been closely monitoring nearly 50 people who had or may have had close contact with Duncan in the days after he started showing symptoms but before he was diagnosed with the disease. The health care worker reported a fever Friday night as part of a self-monitoring regimen required by the CDC, Varga said. Another person who was described as a “close contact”

of the health worker has been proactively placed in isolation, he added, without elaborating on where that person is being monitored. The hospital said its emergency department is diverting ambulances to other hospitals, though still accepting walk-in patients. Frieden said officials are now evaluating and will monitor any workers who may have been exposed while Duncan was in the hospital. Among the things the CDC will investigate is how the workers took off protective gear, because removing it incorrectly can lead to contamination. Investigators will also look at dialysis and intubation — the insertion of a breathing tube in a patient’s airway. Both procedures have the potential to spread the virus. “We knew a second case could be a reality, and we’ve been preparing for this possibility,” said Dr. David Lakey, commissioner of the Texas Department of State Health Services. “We are broadening our team in Dallas and working with extreme diligence to prevent further spread.” Health care workers treating Ebola patients are among the most vulnerable, even if wearing protective gear. A Spanish nurse assistant recently became the first health care worker infected outside West Africa during the ongoing outbreak. She helped care for two priests who were brought to a Madrid hospital and later died. More than 370 health care workers in West Africa have fallen ill or died since the epidemic began earlier this year.

More arrests as Ferguson protests continue C

ST. LOUIS (AP) — Seventeen people were arrested during weekend protests, St. Louis police said Sunday, and more demonstrations were planned over the shooting of 18-yearold Michael Brown in Ferguson this summer. Organizers of the four-day Ferguson October summit are protesting the shooting of the black man by a white policeman, which sparked sometimes violent demonstrations in the predominantly black St. Louis suburb of Ferguson in August. Early Sunday morning, several protesters made their way to the south St. Louis neighborhood where another black 18-year-old was killed by a white police offi-

cer recently. Protesters occupied a Quicktrip gas station convenience store and staged a sit-in. St. Louis Police Chief Sam Dotson posted on Twitter that protesters were “attempting to storm” the business. He later posted that protesters were “throwing rocks at the police.” St. Louis police spokeswoman Schron Jackson said Sunday in an email that 17 people were arrested on suspicion of unlawful assembly. There were no reports of injuries or property damage, the email said. On Monday, a “direct action” led by local and visiting clergy members is planned for Ferguson and other spots in and around St. Louis. Protest leaders

don’t plan to release details until shortly ahead of time to avoid tipping off law enforcement. Leaders are taking their cues from the Moral Monday demonstrations that began last year in North Carolina before spreading to several other Southern states. Outside Busch Stadium in downtown St. Louis, where the Cardinals were playing the San Francisco Giants this weekend in the National League Championship Series of professional baseball, several dozen protesters stood on the sidewalk Saturday night, chanting and holding signs. The St. Louis Post-Dis-

patch reported that fans headed to the game mainly went around the protesters without stopping to look, though a few cheered their efforts. Game 2 in the series is scheduled for Sunday night. The planned events began Friday afternoon with a march outside the St. Louis County prosecutor’s office, where protesters renewed calls for prosecutor Bob McCulloch to charge Darren Wilson, a white Ferguson officer, in the Aug. 9 death of Brown. A grand jury is reviewing the case and the Justice Department has opened a civil rights investigation.

Around the Nation California health exchange awards millions in no-bid contracts; ties questioned LOS ANGELES — California’s health insurance exchange has awarded $184 million in contracts without the competitive bidding and oversight that is standard practice across state government, including deals that sent millions of dollars to a firm whose employees have long-standing ties to the agency’s executive director. Covered California’s no-bid contracts were for a variety of services, ranging from public relations to paying for ergonomic adjustments to work stations, according to an Associated Press review of contracting records obtained through the state Public Records Act. Several of those contracts worth a total of $4.2 million went to a consulting firm, The Tori Group, whose founder has strong professional ties to agency Executive Director Peter Lee, while others were awarded to a subsidiary of a health care company he once headed. Awarding no-bid contracts is unusual in state government, where rules promote “open and fair competition” to give taxpayers the best deal and avoid ethical conflicts. The practice is generally reserved for emergencies or when no known competition exists. Covered California was created in 2010 and given broad authority to award no-bid contracts as a way to meet tight federal deadlines for getting the new health insurance marketplace operational by last year. The same law also exempted it from sections of the state’s public records law, a loophole lawmakers closed last year after it was disclosed by the AP.

Hometown boy-turned-prosecutor talk of town after charge in first wife’s death QUINCY, Ill. — Few in this former port city along the Mississippi River had more cachet than Curtis Lovelace: an all-Big Ten football player, longtime prosecutor, school board president, sports broadcaster and educator at the local university. That sparkling image in the 40,000-strong western Illinois community of Quincy was shattered when he recently was charged with suffocating his first wife and mother of four on Valentine’s Day in 2006, unsettling many followers of the case that had remained open because a pathologist and coroner’s jury never pinpointed why the 38-year-old woman died so suddenly. The scandal, cracked open last December when an investigator gave the case a fresh look, has all the makings of a made-for-TV flick: A community pillar is whisked away by police as he steps from his law office for lunch — eight years after his first wife’s death. Curtis Lovelace, 45, now faces a first-degree murder charge, to which he has pleaded not guilty. Unsurprisingly, as Lovelace remains jailed on $5 million bond, his situation is the continuing grist of gossip in tight-knit Quincy. “He just seemed like an average fellow, a very active gentleman,” Mike Cadwell, a barber for 40 years, said while giving an older client a trim. “I’m not sure what kind of a person does that kind of a crime, but he didn’t seem to fit that mold.” — The Associated Press

Kurds holding out in Kobani By RYAN LUCAS Associated Press

SURUC, Turkey — The shells were already roaring down on the Kurdish fighters from the hill above Kobani when more than 30 Islamic State militants backed by snipers and pickups mounted with heavy machine guns began their assault across the dusty fields. Holed up in an industrial area of squat, concrete buildings on Kobani’s eastern edges, the outgunned Kurds could do little to repel the attack, recalled Dalil Boras, one of the defenders during the Oct. 6 assault. The Islamic State group’s firepower proved too much, so the Kurds withdrew through the gray streets to a tree-lined park, ceding a foothold in the town to the extremist fighters, who promptly raised two black flags over their newly conquered territory. A week later, the Kurdish men and women of the People’s Protection Units, or YPG, are still holding out, if barely, with a helping hand from more than 20 airstrikes by the U.S.-led coalition against Islamic State positions. They have been battered by tanks shells and mortars, and picked off by snipers using American-made rifles. They have no answer for the heavy weapons that Islamic State fighters have looted from Iraqi and Syrian army bases. And while they are slowly yielding ground, they so far have prevented the town from being overrun, defending it zealously with little more than light weapons, booby-traps and a fervent belief in their cause. Along the way, the predominantly Kurdish town along Syria’s border with Turkey has been transformed from a dusty backwater into a symbol of resistance for Kurds around the world. It also has grabbed the international media spotlight, which has helped turn the defense of Kobani into a very public test for the American-

led international effort to roll back and ultimately destroy the Islamic State group. The battle itself is now playing out in Kobani’s streets and alleyways — a fight being watched by scores of Syrian and Turkish Kurds, as well as dozens of journalists, through binoculars from hilltops and farms just across the border in Turkey. From that vantage point, the town spreads out among the rocky hills and brown fields just beyond the frontier. Plumes of black smoke billow over the low-slung skyline. The occasional thud of mortar shells mixes with the clatter of heavy machine guns and assault rifles. Kurdish fighters and civilians who have recently fled describe a much grittier scene inside the town. Both of the warring sides have knocked holes in walls to move between buildings — a tactic employed in urban fighting for decades. On cross streets, blankets have been hung to limit exposure to snipers. Rubble litters the streets. Smoke hangs in the air. The few remaining civilians have sought shelter in basements. Boras, a short and stocky 19-year-old dressed in dusty black jeans and a black T-shirt, explained how Kurdish fighters are organized into small groups of sometimes as few as five or six people, who stake out posi-

tions on the front lines. Teams with rocket-propelled grenades and Russian-designed machine guns known here as “Doshkas” have taken up positions in the upper stories of some buildings to maximize the Kurds’ limited firepower. “We are communicating with walkie-talkies,” Boras said recently during a three-day break from the fight. “We tell them on our walkie-talkie that they’re attacking and we throw a red smoke bomb to show the position of the attack, and then the machine guns and RPGs provide support.” Kurdish men and women fighters spread out on the various fronts are mainly armed with Kalashnikov assault rifles and grenades. They carry backpacks with ammunition, biscuits and canned beans and hummus, and when they run low they call into headquarters. “We have special words for martyrs, wounded, ammunition and food on the walkie-talkie,” Boras said. They frequently switch frequencies to avoid being spied on over the airwaves. Since the Islamic State group first moved into Kobani’s eastern districts on Oct. 6, the fighting has developed a familiar rhythm, the Kurds say: The extremists own the day, while the Kurdish forces rule after sundown when the Islamic State’s

heavy weapons can’t effectively target Kurdish positions. “At night, we go out on missions to hunt them down. During the day they put pressure on us,” said Boras. “We watch during the day to see where they are. And then if there’s a street that needs it, we plant roadside bombs to hit them with during the day.” With limited resources, the Kurds have had to improvise. Boras recalled on one occasion packing a truck tire with explosives and then rolling it down the hill toward Islamic State fighters, destroying a machine gun post. As the fighting has ground down in the thick of the town, the front lines in some places have narrowed to just a few meters (yards), said Aladeen Ali Kor, a Kobani policeman now volunteering in a refugee camp in the Turkish town of Suruc while he recovers from a shrapnel wound to the back of his neck. “There are some places where you’re basically across the street from them. Like from here to the back of the gas station there,” he said, pointing across the busy main road in Suruc. “Fighters on both sides yell and taunt each other. We say we’ll never let you in. They yell at us that they’ll never let us out alive.” Most of Kobani’s wounded are brought to the hospital in Suruc. Two emergency room nurses taking a short break recounted the chaos of the past few weeks. “We usually see 25-30 wounded a day. They are serious injuries. Mostly from gunshots and shrapnel,” said one of the nurses who only identified himself as Mehmet. The nurses estimated that 70 percent of the wounded are fighters, while the rest are civilians. For now at least, the heart of Kobani remains in Kurdish hands, although their grip appears tenuous at best. With so much attention on the town, neither side can relent. Activists say the Islamic State group has rushed in reinforcements, while small numbers of Kurds continue to sneak across the border to join the fight.

Around the World Putin pulls troops from Ukraine border MOSCOW — Russian President Vladimir Putin has ordered thousands of Russian troops near the Ukrainian border to return to their usual bases, according to his spokesman. Dmitry Peskov told Russian news outlets late Saturday in Sochi that Putin had ordered approximately 17,600 troops to return home from Rostov, a southern region that borders east Ukraine, where pro-Russian insurgents have been battling government troops since April. The Kremlin has said that troops stationed in Rostov were participating in drills, but Ukraine and the West have repeatedly accused Russia of fueling the insurgency with arms, expertise, and fighters, and have slapped Moscow with sanctions in response to its moves in the region.

Donors pledge nearly $3 billion to rebuild the Gaza Strip CAIRO — A donor conference in Cairo to raise money for Gaza after this year’s war between Hamas and Israel ended with pledges of $5.4 billion, half of which will be “dedicated” to the reconstruction of the coastal strip, Norway’s foreign minister said Sunday. Norwegian Foreign Minister Borge Brende offered the figure at the end of Sunday’s one-day conference, far beyond the $4 billion initially sought by Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas. Qatar pledged $1 billion toward the reconstruction, once again using its vast wealth to reinforce its role as a regional player as Gulf Arab rival the United Arab Emirates promised $200 million. The pledges followed U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry earlier announcing immediate American assistance of $212 million. The European Union pledged 450 million euros ($568 million), while Turkey, which has been playing a growing role in the Middle East in recent years, said it was donating $200 million.

Suicide bombing in Iraq’s eastern Diyala province kills 58 Kurdish forces, civilians BAGHDAD — A triple suicide bombing Sunday killed at least 58 people in Iraq as a roadside bomb killed the police chief of the western Anbar province, authorities said, attacks that dealt major blows to Iraqi security forces struggling to combat the Islamic State extremist group. The Islamic State extremist group claimed the attack, saying it was carried out by three foreign jihadists. The authenticity of the online statement could not be independently verified, but it was posted on a Twitter account frequently used by the militant group. — The Associated Press

Anchorage police car injures pedestrian ANCHORAGE — A pedestrian was seriously injured after being struck by an Anchorage police vehicle. Police say an officer was traveling southbound on Muldoon Road on his way to work just before 11 p.m. Friday. The pedestrian was walking on the sidewalk when he stepped into the road and was hit by the officer’s car. Police said Saturday the pedestrian was taken to a hospital with serious but non-life threatening injuries. A police statement said the pedestrian is suspected of having been under the influence of drugs and possibly alcohol at the time. Spokeswoman Dani Myren says the pedestrian showed signs of alcohol and impairment. Police say the officer’s breath and urine was tested immediately after the collision in line with city policy.

Man accused of killing parents with ax BETHEL — A 21-year-old man faces two counts of firstdegree murder after officials said he killed his parents with an ax, in a case that illustrates the challenges of police work in remote Alaskan villages that do not have law enforcement officers. Everett Semone of Shageluk was arraigned Thursday at the courthouse in Bethel, appearing via teleconference from the Yukon-Kuskokwim Correctional Center. Bail was set at $500,000, and a preliminary hearing was scheduled Oct. 20 in Anvik. Alaska State Troopers said Flossie Semone, 46, and John Arrow, 57, were killed in Shageluk, a village of 83 people. Residents told troopers that the two were the man’s parents. Although the slayings happened Tuesday night, Alaska State Troopers were unable to reach the village, located about 350 miles west of Anchorage, until Wednesday. Meanwhile, residents had taken Semone into custody and were holding him in a town building. Shageluk does not have law enforcement officers. “That’s a reality of living in rural Alaska,” said Megan Peters, spokeswoman for the Alaska Department of Public Safety, on Friday. While people in the Lower 48 might complain about law officers taking 15 minutes to arrive at a crime scene, “in a place like rural Alaska, it’s hours and potentially days,” Peters said. But in this case, the response time does not appear to have made any difference, Peters said. The victims died, and the suspect was in custody long before officers could have responded under the best of circumstances, she said. Court records indicate Semone is being represented by the public defender’s agency. A call to the office in Bethel seeking comment wasn’t immediately returned Friday. According to charging documents from Sgt. Nicholas Zito, a caller “reported that Everett Semone ‘went crazy’ and attacked his parents Flossie Semone and Arrow with an ax at their Shageluk residence. Everett was reportedly running loose in the village.” Residents requested troopers that evening, and a medevac flight was arranged out of Bethel to attend to two injured people. Two troopers were to have been on that flight. However, troopers say residents later called back to say the couple had died, and the hospital canceled the medevac. Troopers then didn’t have a way to get to Shageluk, which isn’t on the road system, until chartering a flight on Wednesday from Anvik. — The Associated Press

Cards, Wong walk off Dramatic finish ties NLCS series with Giants at 1 R.B. FALLSTROM AP Sports Writer

ST. LOUIS — Kolten Wong and the St. Louis Cardinals rallied again with their latest postseason power show, tying the NL Championship Series at a game apiece. After the final party at home plate, reality set in: They might be without Yadier Molina the rest of the way. Wong hit a leadoff home run in the bottom of the ninth inning and the resilient Cardinals beat the San Francisco Giants 5-4 Sunday night. The Cardinals came back after losing Molina to a strained oblique muscle in the sixth. The All-Star catcher

was getting further tests and manager Mike Matheny said it “didn’t look real good.” “We’ll wait and see and right now we’ll just go ahead and keep celebrating a very tough, hard-fought win. I am real proud at how these guys kept coming,” Matheny said. The best-of-seven series resumes Tuesday night with Game 3 in San Francisco with John Lackey going for St. Louis and Tim Hudson starting for the Giants. In a back-and-forth game, St. Louis got homers from rookie pinch-hitter Oscar Taveras in the seventh and Matt Adams in the eighth to take a 4-3 lead.

After the Giants tied it on a wild pitch, Wong hit an 0-1 delivery from Sergio Romo for his second big home run this postseason. The rookie’s seventh-inning drive was the decisive blow in Game 3 of the NL Division Series against the Los Angeles Dodgers. St. Louis, last in the NL with 105 home runs during the regular season, has hit 11 homers in six playoff games — seven in the seventh inning or later. Earlier, Matt Carpenter connected for the fourth time this postseason. “We just knew we had to keep grinding,” Wong said. “When you lose someone like Yadi, it’s definitely

Durant suffers fractured foot CLIFF BRUNT AP Sports Writer

OKLAHOMA CITY — Kevin Durant, the NBA’s leading scorer of this decade and the reigning MVP, will likely miss the first six to eight weeks of the season after fracturing a bone in his right foot. The Oklahoma City star forward complained of an ache in his foot after practice Saturday, the team said. Tests showed he has a “Jones fracture,” a broken bone at the base of his small toe. Thunder general manager Sam Presti said Sunday that surgery is likely, and that similar injuries have forced players to miss six to eight weeks. The Thunder open the season Oct. 29 at Portland. A

six-week absence could have Durant back for the start of December, with about 65 games remaining. “We’re really fortunate to be catching it when we’re catching it,” Presti said. “Very fortunate that Kevin notified us yesterday, and we’re catching it kind of on the front end, before this became a little bit more of an acute issue.” The Thunder have a couple of high-profile matchups in December, playing LeBron James and the Cavaliers on Dec. 11 and going to San Antonio for a Western Conference finals rematch on Christmas. Durant won the scoring title last season, collected his first MVP award and led the Thunder to the Western Conference finals.

Dallas wins physical battle on Seahawks’ imposing home field By The Associated Press

SEATTLE — DeMarco Murray scored on a 15-yard run with 3:16 left and the Dallas Cowboys stunned the defending Super Bowl champion Seattle Seahawks 30-23 on Sunday. Dallas, 5-1 for the first time since 2007, overcame a pair of special teams turnovers to become the first team outside the NFC West to win in Seattle since 2011. Murray’s touchdown run capped a 75-yard drive that saw Tony Romo convert a third-and-20 with a pass to Terrance Williams along the sideline. Murray had 115 yards on 29 carries to join Jim Brown

as the only running backs in NFL history to open a season with six straight 100-yard games. Murray also had six receptions for 31 yards. Romo was 21 of 32 for 250 yards and two touchdowns without an interception. Russell Wilson had a 9-yard touchdown run, and Mike Morgan returned a blocked punt 25 yards for a score for Seattle (3-2). Wilson was 14 of 28 for 126 yards and an interception, and was limited to 12 yards on two carries.

Manning finished 22 of 33 for 237 yards — a far cry from last week’s performance against Arizona, when he passed for a career-high 479 yards with four TDs. But Manning displayed his methodical best at times in his return to MetLife Stadium, where he and the Broncos (4-1) were blown out by Seattle in the Super BRONCOS 31, JETS 17 Bowl last February.

But after a sack put the ball at the 1, Geno Smith’s pass was intercepted by Aqib Talib, who returned it 22 yards for a sealing touchdown that sent New York to its fifth straight loss.

Mississippi State is the new No. 1 in The Associated Press college football poll, replacing Florida State and making the fastest rise to the top spot in the history of the poll. The Bulldogs received 45 first-place votes from the media panel Sunday. Mississippi State beat Auburn 38-23 on Saturday, its third straight victory against a top-10 team. The Bulldogs are the first team in the poll’s 78-year history to go from unranked to No. 1 in five weeks. The previous mark was six weeks by Ohio State in 1954. The Bulldogs were No. 3 last week, tied with Ole Miss, for their best ranking. Ole Miss stayed at No. 3 this week, two points be-

hind No. 2 Florida State, which beat Syracuse on Saturday. The defending champion Seminoles had been No. 1 since the preseason. Florida State received 12 first-place votes and Ole Miss three. Baylor and Notre Dame round out the top five. The Fighting Irish play at Florida State on Saturday. Auburn fell four spots to No. 6. For the both the Rebels and Bulldogs, it’s been a startling rise after recent struggles. They have rarely been in contention in the Southeastern Conference over the last decade. In the rugged western division, where Alabama (three national titles), LSU (two) and Auburn (one) have been the powers during the BCS era, the Mississippi schools usually have been relegated to the second division.

As pressure mounts in Chase, drivers’ tempers flare JENNA FRYER AP Auto Racing Writer

CONCORD, N.C. — Matt Kenseth, usually so calm and composed, lost his cool and attacked Brad Keselowski at Charlotte Motor Speedway. If Kenseth is fighting, then tempers are certainly running quite high. They reached a boiling point in the aftermath of Saturday night’s race as Keselowski, Kenseth, Dale Earnhardt Jr. and Jimmie Johnson all saw their championship hopes fade to near-desperate status. The pressure is on — every week — in NASCAR’s new championship format, and the frayed nerves unraveled on the track, on pit road and in the garage. Denny Hamlin had to be restrained from going after Keselowski, but Kenseth got to the 2012 champion in the dark alley-like area between a pair of Team Penske haulers. Kenseth quickly approached Keselowski from behind and nearly tackled him. He had Keselowski wrapped in his arms when crew members quickly peeled him off, and Keselowski crew chief Paul Wolfe pulled Kenseth out of the scrum in what appeared to be a

choke hold. As race winner Kevin Harvick celebrated in Victory Lane, activity in the garage came to a near-halt as drivers and crews watched replays of the melee. “When you see Matt Kenseth mad enough to fight, you know that this is intense because that’s way out of character for him,” Harvick said. “When you see that emotion out of Matt Kenseth, you know that NASCAR has done the right thing to this Chase because everybody is on offense and gouging for every single position that you can get every lap.” That was at the root of the post-race Charlotte activities: There is no room for error in the Chase, and a bad night will put a driver on the brink of elimination. Kenseth, who struggled for large portions of the race and was penalized by NASCAR before the start for an unapproved adjustment made to his car, was incensed that Keselowski hit his car on pit road after the checkered flag. Kenseth had already taken off his seatbelts and lowered his window net, and he felt the contact from Keselowski could have caused injury.

“If you want to talk about it as a man, try to do that,” Kenseth said. For his part, Keselowski said the hit on Kenseth was warranted because Kenseth had driven across his nose under a caution with six laps remaining. That contact caused front-end damage that Keselowski believed contributed to his 16th-place finish. The two had an earlier incident while racing for the lead when Kenseth was squeezed into the wall while he attempted to pass Keselowski. Hamlin was upset with how Keselowski raced him for position with two laps remaining. Hamlin felt Keselowski pushed him too hard into a corner, contact that sent both drivers plummeting in the field. Hamlin admitted to brake-checking Keselowski during the cool-down lap, and Keselowski retaliated with a failed attempt to spin Hamlin. That’s when Keselowski set his sights on Kenseth, hitting him on a busy pit road. Tony Stewart was the innocent bystander in that mess, with his car drilled from behind after Keselowski hit Kenseth. He responded by backing his car up and into Keselowski to crumple Keselowski’s front end. C

Keselowski then headed to the garage, with Hamlin in pursuit. Their cars made contact and were briefly stuck together, so Keselowski hit the gas to pull away. That left a burnout mark and led Hamlin to accuse Keselowski of being “out of control.” Keselowski met with NASCAR after a cooling-off period. Kenseth crew chief Jason Ratcliff went voluntarily to talk to NASCAR, and Kenseth crew member Jesse Sanders was summoned by officials. It’s not clear if Keselowski — or Hamlin or Kenseth — will be punished by NASCAR on Tuesday, the day penalties are traditionally issued. NASCAR vice president of competition Robin Pemberton said the sanctioning body will review the final on-track laps, and everything that occurred on pit road and in the garage. NASCAR in May fined Marcos Ambrose and Casey Mears for fighting in the garage after a race at Richmond. Harvick was fined in 2011 for a pitroad confrontation with Kyle Busch in which NASCAR cited safety concerns of Busch using his car to push Harvick’s car away. The next year, Kurt

Busch was fined $50,000 for dangerous driving on pit road when he hit Ryan Newman’s car during a confrontation. But in the case of Saturday, with so much focus on the new Chase and the attention for the post-race skirmishes, it’s not clear if NASCAR will punish those involved or pat them on the back. Harvick said there was no way NASCAR takes any action. “They love it. They were fighting afterwards, that’s what it’s all about,” Harvick said. Keselowski understood Stewart’s frustration. He didn’t much care about Hamlin or Kenseth’s explanations, and firmly believed both drivers had it coming. “I figured if we’re going to play car wars under yellow and after the race, I’ll join, too,” he said. “Those guys can dish it out, but they can’t take it. I gave it back to them and now they want to fight.” Hamlin is the only driver involved who left Charlotte in decent shape in the Chase. He is seventh in the standings headed to Talladega, where the bottom four in the 12-driver field will be eliminated.

Sang-moon takes 1st PGA event of season NAPA, Calif. — Bae Sang-moon set a big goal for the new PGA Tour season. He wants to end it at home in South Korea by playing in the Presidents Cup. He couldn’t have asked for a better start. Bae won the season-opening Frys.com Open on Sunday by stretching his lead to as many as six shots in the hot sunshine of Napa Valley, leaving plenty of room for a few mistakes that only made it interesting for a short time. He closed with a 1-over 73 at Silverado, the first player on the PGA Tour since Ben Crane at the St. Jude Classic in June to win with a final round over par. Bae took three putts from the collar of the green on the par-5 18th for a twoshot victory over Steven Bowditch, who had a 67. “There’s always pressure on Sunday because other players behind me are charging, so I tried to maintain my focus and play my own game,” Bae said.

US women nab 1st major volleyball title MILAN — Kimberly Hill led the United States to its first major women’s volleyball title, scoring 20 points in a 3-1 victory over China on Sunday in the world championships. Hill had the final kill, and captain Christa Dietzen added 15 points in the Americans’ 27-25, 25-20, 16-25, 26-24 victory before 12,600 fans at the Mediolanum Forum. “We came here to make history and we made it,” said U.S. coach Karch Kiraly, a three-time Olympic champion. “It was a tough battle, but we made it.” The U.S. women had never won the world championships, World Cup or Olympics. The Americans finished second in the world championships in 1967 and 2002. “It’s the first time for the USA and we made it,” said Dietzen, the Hopewell Township, Pennsylvania, player who had knee surgery in December. “We represented present and future volleyball programs, but most importantly we did it together.” The 6-foot-4 Hill, from Portland, Oregon, was selected the tournament’s most valuable player and best spiker. She was 19 of 31 with only one fault and had 13 digs and 25 excellent receptions on 39 attempts. “I feel ecstatic and happy and just cannot believe it is real,” Hill said. “The award was a surprise and I still cannot believe it either, it is just amazing. Tonight it is everything. Eating, drinking and we are just going to celebrate being together.” C

Carolina played to the NFL’s first tie this season. Nothing new about the Bengals tying at home. They finished 13-13 with Philadelphia in their last overtime game at Paul Brown Stadium in 2008. Nugent made a 42-yard field goal that put Cincinnati (3-1-1) up after the opening drive of overtime. Carolina (3-2-1) tied it on Graham Gano’s 36-yarder with 2:19 left. Andy Dalton was nearly perfect in overtime, going 8 for 9 for 87 yards with one throwaway. He led the Bengals into range to win it, but Nugent sliced the kick wide right.

Buffalo. Brandon LaFell had two touchdown catches, including a 56-yarder, and the Patriots forced three turnovers that resulted in 13 points in the second quarter.

“We told people we would do that,” Begich said. In addition to removing dead fish from the water, Fish and Game will also be monitoring the drinking water near Soldotna Creek, though Dunker said the poison penetrates the soil to about 1 inch and isn’t a concern for nearby wells. “The primary health concern is actually to the people who are applying the rotenone,” Dunker said. In addition to applying the poison to East and West Mackey Lakes, Derks Lake and Union Lake this year, Fish and Game staff will monitor the degradation of the poison and continue netting underneath the winter ice, though no fish other than the northern pike are believed to be present in the lakes anymore. After biologists are sure the lakes are free of rotenone and invasive fish, they’ll move onto the next phase of the project, which is to begin rounding up native fish from the mainstem of Soldotna Creek, Tree Lake and Savena Lake. As researchers catch the Dolly Varden, steelhead, rainbow trout, lamprey, round white fish, salmon, stickleback and slimy sculpin still left in the Soldotna Creek drainage, they’ll transfer the fish into the four lakes being treated this year. “This will begin the process of restoring fish populations to the drainage,” said Fish and Game Regional Supervisor Tom Vania during a recent presentation to the Alaska Board of Fisheries. Then, in 2017, Fish and Game plans to treat the majority of Soldotna Creek and the two remaining lakes known to contain northern pike. “Some native fish will be killed in this section,” Vania said. Once the final treatment of rotenone has been applied, Fish and Game plans to breach a barrier between Derks Lake and the rest of the Soldotna Creek drainage, allowing the transplanted native fish back into the mainstem of Soldotna Creek and, eventually restoring the native fish populations of the entire drainage.

then run through the surrounding waters to help mix the poison deeper into the water column. As the rotenone spread through the lake, the occasional white-bellied fish floated to the surface, its body no longer able to process oxygen. The poison, rotenone, penetrates the fish’s body at a cellular level and makes it impossible for the fish to use oxygen it takes in, according to the Oregon Department of Fish and Wildlife. It isn’t just fish that are affected by the rotenone however, it’s any invertebrate. Invertebrates are animals that lack any internal or external bone skeleton. They vast majority of animal species on the planet are invertebrates and some of them, like insects, fall squarely into the category of fish food. “Invertebrates are one of the groups that’s hardest hit, particularly plankton,” said Fish and Game biologist Krissy Dunker, during a recent presentation to the Alaska Board of Fisheries. “Their populations can take between one and two years to fully recover.” Fish and Game researchers spent time studying the affects of the poison on invertebrate populations as part of the permitting process for the project. “We needed to ensure that there’s food and forage available for the fish that we’re putting back in (to the water),” Dunker told the board. Some results were encouraging, she said. “We did see, at Scout Lake, one year following the treatment ... we immediately that spring found tadpoles swimming in Scout Lake and it looked like the loons were feeding on them. We weren’t sure how that was going to play out, but we were encouraged by that.” Pawluk and Begich zipped around the lake in an aluminum boat, netting the fish as fast as they appeared in an effort to keep the smell of rotting fish to a minimum. There are large Reach Rashah McChesney houses dotting the shorelines of three of the four lakes Fish and at rashah.mcchesney@peninsulaclarion.com. Game treated this year.

overturn Alaska’s ban. Earlier in the week, the U.S. Supreme Court declined to hear appeals from several states that were seeking to retain their bans on same-sex marriage. The move on Oct. 6 means that gay marriage is now effectively legal in about 30 states. But much of last week was marked by confusion as lower courts and states worked through when weddings can begin. On Tuesday, a federal appeals court in the West overturned marriage bans in Nevada and Idaho. On Thursday, West Virginia officials began issuing gay marriage licenses, and Kansas’ most populous county issued a marriage license Friday to a gay couple, believed to be the first such license in the state. Sunday’s ruling in Alaska came in a lawsuit brought by five gay couples who had asked the state to overturn a consti-

facilities. “You can see production picking up steam, and that’s comforting as well,” she said. What’s pushing down oil prices is more oil supply, particularly in the U.S., and lackluster demand for oil on world markets. The stronger U.S. dollar, which is the currency used for oil trading, is also a factor, Rodell said. As for the selling price of North Slope oil, Rodell said that more lighter-grade Bakken shale oil is showing up in California, and that is undercutting the market for Alaska on the west coast. trict for more than two decades. Now she volunteers during the event. Volunteer Bobbi Baldwin said the groups are placed in two categories. The intermediate groups are made up of seventh-grade students through high school seniors and the junior groups are in fourththrough sixth-grade, she said. Emilee Braun, Savannah Ley and Thomas Halliday, who made up the Nikiski Bulldogs team, were paired together because they had the same off periods. They agreed the competition was not too hard. The Violet Variables won the overall competition and the three members that made it to Soldotna Prep on Saturday were thrilled. The Variable’s fourth member Lucy Hankins was sick and could not attend, said member Kylie Mullaly. “It’s unbelievable,” said Variables member Nick Katsma. “I am so excited.” “I got a case of ‘the shakes,’” said Variables member Elsa O’Neill. “It is the second year Seward swept the competition.” O’Neill said during the test drive the cart started to turn and they though they were about to lose the competition. At the last moment the device corrected itself. “Now we think Nick is a sorcerer,” O’Neill said.

competition are judges’ choice, Bailey said. So even if a group does not receive many points, if they designed a creative device to accomplish their task, they also have the opportunity for recognition. The Long-Term Problem is only 75 percent of a team’s final score, Bailey said. The remaining 25 percent is from the Spontaneous Problem portion. Huddled in tight circles around the gym floor, each team was given five minutes to use only a straw, twist tie, note cards, a paper bag, paper clips and tongue depressors to build a “string” at least 20 inches long that was also able to pull a small weight. Wind Catcher team member Aleea Faulkner, from Kalifornsky Beach Elementary School, said even though her “string” broke while judge and competition organizer Karen Weston was testing the design, she was definitely planning to attend next year’s competition. Weston said the number of teams entering in the program each year are limited, because the competition has become so popular. The largest number of teams that ever competed in one year was 55, she said.

tutional amendment approved by voters in 1998. The amendment defined marriage as being between one man and one woman. The lawsuit filed in May sought to bar enforcement of Alaska’s constitutional ban on same-sex marriage. It also called for barring enforcement of any state laws that refuse to recognize gay marriages legally performed in other states or countries or that prevent unmarried gay couples from marrying. Burgess heard arguments Friday afternoon and promised a quick decision. He released his 25-page decision Sunday afternoon. “Refusing the rights and responsibilities afforded by legal marriage sends the public a government-sponsored message that same-sex couples and their familial relationships do not warrant the status, benefits and dignity given to couples of the opposite sex,” Burgess wrote. “This Court finds that Alaska’s same-sex marriage laws violate the Due Process and

Equal Protection Clauses of the Fourteenth Amendment because no state interest provides ‘excessively persuasive justification’ for the significant infringement of rights that they inflicted upon homosexual individuals,” he wrote. Gov. Sean Parnell said in a statement Sunday he was appealing to defend and uphold the law and the Alaska Constitution. “Although the district court today may have been bound by the recent 9th Circuit panel opinion, the status of that opinion and the law in general in this area is in flux,” he said. State lawyers were reviewing Burgess decision and working on the next steps to appeal. Joshua Decker, the executive director of the American Civil Liberties Union of Alaska, said Alaska has no legal chance of prevailing at either the 9th Circuit Court or with the U.S. Supreme Court. “It’s really unfortunate the governor wants to continue to swim against the tide of history and try to perpetuate discrimi-

nation against Alaskans,” said Decker. “We’re disappointed but that’s not going to dampen our elation.” Hamby said the appeal was “ridiculous and futile.” He also called it misguided “because it continues to injure same-sex couples who love each other and just want to get married.” If the state does appeal to the 9th Circuit Court, chances of winning were slim since the federal appeals court already has ruled against Idaho and Nevada, which made similar arguments. Alaska voters in 1998 approved a state constitutional amendment defining marriage as being between one man and one woman. But in the past year, the U.S. Supreme Court has struck down a provision of the federal Defense of Marriage Act that prevented legally married same-sex couples from receiving a range of federal benefits. Federal courts also have since struck down state constitutional bans in a number of states.

Students learn how to run Kenai for a day By DAN BALMER Peninsula Clarion

Future police officers, city council members and judges spent a day learning how Kenai city government works. Three classes from Kaleidoscope School of Arts and Science traveled to Kenai City Hall on Oct. 6 and experienced working in a police station, courtroom and council chambers. By the end of the day, the students learned city business is more than just sitting in chairs that spin and banging a gavel. Fifth and sixth grade students from Julie Stephens’ class got the first chance to run a city council meeting. Kenai Mayor Pat Porter shared some insight on how a council operates. Then, the class, with their roles pre-assigned, took their seats and went through a customized agenda. Mayor Caden Fields directed the council through the agenda, with Porter behind him to assist in the procedural details. The mock council had two public hearings on the agenda – an ordinance to close the library and an ordinance that would extend physical education from two days to five days a week. A handful of students com-

mented on each issue and spoke about the importance of the library to their learning. The students also spoke against extending P.E. for various reasons including how having gym everyday would be exhausting, to how it would cut into other activities like music and librarytime. Another student was concerned the school would have to pay the gym teacher more for the extra P.E. time. After hearing the public comments on both topics, the council discussed their opinion

before the vote. Council member Jacob Begich said he didn’t think P.E. should be extended because it’s important that students receive a balance of activities. Council member Jayla Conner said the library should stay open because it is vital for learning. Both ordinances failed. Fields said running the meeting was more difficult with an audience of parents watching then when students practiced in class. “It was interesting and fun

because I got to experience something I could do in the future,” Fields said. Fifth grader Joshua Tree said it was cool that the public could be part of the process and express their concerns to the council. “It’s nice the public has a voice and it’s not just the people representing that is making all the choices,” he said. The students also brought other issues to the council’s attention from sixth grade movSee CITY, page B-2

process and understand that the public has a voice in government decisions, she said. After touring the police station, Joy Harper’s third and fourth grade class walked to the old courthouse in the legislative office building for Kenai Youth Court. Ginny Espenshade, Executive Director of Kenai Youth Court, gave a brief explanation of the judicial system. Prior to the field trip, Harper’s class discussed the book,

“Bully” by Patricia Polacco. Espenshade then assigned roles for the class to hold a mock trial with the characters from the book. Students were divided into judges, court clerks, prosecutors, defense attorneys, the defendant, the victim, witnesses and jurors. The class went through the court procedures and discussed all sides of the story from all parties involved. Espenshade said while the defendant should be held accountable for their

actions and there are consequences for bullying, there may be other factors to why someone acts out. Cindy Hurst’s fifth grade class toured the Kenai Police Department with school resourse officer Alex Prins. Inside the station the class visited the dispatch office where the calls come in and the fingerprint and evidence room. Prins showed the class how to take fingerprints and seal evidence of a crime to send to a

lab for testing. The class also visited the interrogation room where police officers interview suspects and witnesses to crimes and on the other side of the window are investigating officers that listen and take notes. Harper said the three classes are studying government and the field trip allowed the students to better understand the three branches of government, judicial, legislative and executive.

“The city council is the legislative branch that creates laws and the service the police department provides through the executive branch is enforcing the laws,” Harper said. “They get the realization that it isn’t as easy as it looks and there are procedures to follow. It’s not about a gavel and a robe, but enacting business on how to get things done.”

have your stroll in nature ruined by plastic, Styrofoam, and other garbage? Come join the annual Connections Coastwalk event with the Center for Alaskan Coastal Studies! After a quick introduction on the state of garbage in our oceans we’ll head to an “adopted” beach to clean up debris left by tides and visitors. Connections will then provide hot cocoa and hot lunch before heading to a workshop to create “art with trash”. See attached flyer with map and RSVP with Derek Bynagle at dbynagle@ kpbsd.k12.ak.us or call the Homer office at 907-226-1880.

Last week they talked about art that contained animals pictured in their natural habitats. The children picked an animal and decided what its habitat would be. It was a challenge following the 3D pop-up habitat instructions, but they did a fine job. Come and see what they’ve created.

We are not alone. There’s a wonderful world around us. Full of fascinating places. Interesting people. Amazing cultures. Important challenges. But sadly, our kids are not getting the chance to learn about their world. When surveys show that half of America’s youth cannot locate India or Iraq on a map, then we have to wonder what they do know about their world. That’s why we created MyWonderfulWorld.org. It’s part of a free National Geographic-led campaign to give your kids the power of global knowledge. Go there today and help them succeed tomorrow. Start with our free parent and teacher action kits. And let your kids begin the adventure of a lifetime.

Man takes canceled lunch date as personal rejection DEAR ABBY: My lunch date for today canceled on me. Generally, when a girl does this, I delete her number and move on. But in this instance, it wasn’t a first or second date. We have been seeing each other for about a month and have built up some degree of intimacy. Moreover, I know she’s not lying when she says she had a busy week. She apologized via text not once, but twice. Nevertheless, I feel that as genuine as her apology was and as she has seemed in the time we have been together, this incident indicates either a lack of caring or integrity. Would I be right to forget her? Or is this the one time a cancellation is justified? — CLASSIC OVER-ANALYZER IN L.A. DEAR OVER-ANALYZER: Your problem isn’t that you are a classic over-analyzer; it’s that you seem to be extremely insecure to the point of courting rejection when none is there. People cannot always control their schedules. And cancellations can happen more than once without it being an indication of lack of interest or caring. I see no reason why you should “forget” a woman whose company you enjoy, unless you are a masochist.

they seem to have lost touch with the real world. They no longer have compassion or respect for people who must live with less, or who are not as well-educated as they are. This includes my husband and me. We feel like we no longer fit into their world. It has become hard for us to have any relationship with them. How can I make them see that Abigail Van Buren money and status are not the only things in this world, and that they should show more compassion to others? — IN TOUCH WITH THE WORLD IN OHIO DEAR IN TOUCH: You have my sympathy, but the lessons you would like to teach your adult children are ones they should have learned during childhood. Sometimes people who are “nouveau riche” try to forget their humble beginnings by avoiding the people who knew them when they were regular folks. It couldn’t hurt to remind your DEAR ABBY: I am a mother of three grown chil- offspring that money and status can be lost as dren who all have successful careers. The problem is quickly as they were earned, but family is supposed

DEAR ABBY: I have a wonderful daughter who is a perfect mother and wife. The problem is, she’s in her 40s and dresses really inappropriately, sometimes wearing skirts and shorts so short they barely cover her bottom. She’s also very voluptuous and always shows cleavage. When she goes out for the evening, she shows practically everything. She takes lots of photographs with her family, and in all of them she’s so exposed that sometimes when she gives me prints, I have to add magic marker so she looks more modest. She is a sweet person who is loved by everyone, so I don’t know how to handle this. Please help me. — COVERED UP IN OAKLAND, CALIF. DEAR COVERED UP: You say your daughter is a perfect mother and wife in her 40s. She may display her assets because it has been a winning combination for her so far or because her husband likes it. The time is long past when you should tell her what or what not to wear, even if you are wellmeaning. The best advice I can offer is to continue wielding your magic marker and pray for colder weather.

Hints from Heloise

By Leigh Rubin

Ziggy

HHHH Be sensitive to what is happening behind the scenes. You understand the forces at work better than the majority of people. An animated discussion regarding finances could occur. There is no right or wrong, but different styles will be questioned. Tonight: Speak your mind. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) HHHH You might consider what needs to happen in order to get past the issue at hand. Anger could be close to the surface, and if you are not careful, you could be reactive to a partner or others in general. Tonight: Opt for togetherness. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) HHH You might be compelled to complete a project, but a sense of profound irritation could get the best of you. You tend to come from a very serious perspective. Juggle what is going on, and allow others to participate. You will get finished faster. Tonight: Out with friends. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) HHHHYou might want to crank down the high energy, flirtatiousness and the wittiness for now. It seems as if others might not be in the same jovial and upbeat mood. Maintain a sense of humor, and the results will be better. Tonight: Catch up on what you need to do. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) HHHHH You could be busy dealing with a personal matter. Listen to what you are hearing, and follow through on what is important. Your creativity will solve an issue and also add some levity to the moment. The older the day gets, the better you feel. Tonight: So what if it is Monday?

Cut in material but not in cost Dear Readers: Here is this week’s Sound Off, about the price of towels: “Why is it that when buying goodquality towels, the hand towel or washcloth to match is not far behind the price of the bath towel? It makes no sense, as three or four hand towels could be made out of the amount of material in a bath towel, and certainly several washcloths.” — JoAnne B. in New York It does not seem to make sense, but what you really are paying for is the labor, not the material. So, if you sew, buy an extra bath towel and make several hand and face towels on the cheap. — Heloise Fast Facts Dear Readers: Mary, via email, sent other uses for plastic kennel replacement trays: * Put under oily or rusty tools. * Use as jigsaw-puzzle boards. The lip keeps the puzzle from sliding off the table. * Contain small toys, and use as a play area for kids. * Use as under-bed storage. * Place in mudrooms or porches to hold muddy or dirty shoes. — Heloise Bandage wrap Dear Heloise: I had two knee replacements a month apart and had to keep the bandage dry for two weeks after each surgery. I used self-sticking plastic wrap, and it worked perfectly. Kept the bandage dry as a bone, and it was easy to put on. — B.J., via email

HHHHH You might want to explore your options. Others see you in a very favorable light. Your imagination could shine a light on a potential new relationship that might not have existed if you were looking at the possibility at a different time. Tonight: All smiles as you treat a pal to dinner. CANCER (June 21-July 22) HHH You could feel as if someone is raining on your parade, and you more than likely are right. You will assume the part of the observer — not the one making the decisions. Roles will reverse later in the day, which is when you will be much more upbeat. Tonight: As you like it. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) HHHHEmphasize what is positive in your immediate environment. You won’t want to distance any friends at the moment. You will see that negative feelings will pass. Take some time to yourself, whether that means going for a walk or off on an adventure. Tonight: Downtime. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) HHHH People usually don’t enjoy having additional responsibilities dumped on them, but you’ll step up to the plate anyway. Pressure could build and cause you to be slightly more in touch with your needs. Try to say “no” more often. Tonight: Focus on your long-term goals. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) HHHH Your imagination travels to lands where others might not be able to reach. Your ability to manifest long-term goals comes from this ability to see the trees from the forest. A child or new friend could be extremely irritating. Make peace, not war. Tonight: Out late. SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21)

Jacqueline Bigar’s Stars A baby born today has a Sun in Libra and a Moon in Gemini if born before 7:30 p.m. (PDT). Afterward, the Moon will be in Cancer. HAPPY BIRTHDAY for Monday, Oct. 13, 2014: This year you could manifest a dream. Be sure that what you go for is what you really want; otherwise, you might have a problem. Review your goals every few months to make sure they are valid. If you are single, do not commit to the first person who comes by. Think about your choices, because there will be options. If you are attached, the two of you cement your bond by incorporating more of the qualities you desire into your relationship. Acceptance of each other happens naturally. CANCER could play a very important role in your life. 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 You’ll express your feelings and thoughts, while others seem to be short-tempered and unusually curt. You could have some difficulty dealing with a partner or loved one. The issue likely will be finances. Be as open as possible about a suggestion. Tonight: Happily head home. TAURUS (April 20-May 20) HHHHHYou might be spending your time trying to get everyone on the same page. Know when that is impossible. You could be tired of having to explain your every thought. You are likely to discover that you have a feisty associate on your hands. Tonight: Catch up on a friend’s news. GEMINI (May 21-June 20)
