With all of the absentee and questioned ballots counted, Mike Navarre has emerged as the winner of the race for Kenai Peninsula Borough Mayor, according to the borough’s unofficial results.

The KPB Canvass Board on Monday announced that it had worked through the weekend to review the remaining 1,832 absentee and questioned ballots.

Navarre garnered 1,055 of the votes, or just over 57 percent of the total, challenger Tom Bearup got nearly 34 percent of the votes and the remaining 8 percent went to Carrol Martin.

After Tuesday’s election, Navarre emerged as the frontrunner 53 percent of the vote.

However, to avoid a run-off, Navarre needed a minimum of 629 of the remaining ballots to

In the news Wildlife groups sue for wolverine protections

M K

BILLINGS, Mont. (AP) — A coalition of advocacy groups on Monday challenged the government’s denial of federal protections for the snow-loving wolverine, arguing in a lawsuit that officials disregarded evidence a warming climate will eliminate denning areas for the socalled “mountain devil.”

An estimated 250 to 300 wolverines survive in the Lower 48 states. The elusive but ferocious members of the weasel family give birth to their young in deep mountain snowfields that scientists say could be at risk of disappearing as the climate changes.

After proposing protections for the species last year, the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service in August abruptly reversed course. Fish and Wildlife Director Dan Ashe said at the time there was too much uncertainty in computer climate change models to justify protections, an issue first raised by two members of a scientific peer-review panel.

Monday’s lawsuit argues the agency acted illegally by ignoring the best available science on wolverines after some of its own scientists said protections were needed.

Wolverines are currently found in portions of Montana, Wyoming, Idaho and Oregon.

Individual wolverines have been documented in Colorado and California, but there has no evidence of breeding populations in those states.

Larger populations of wolverines live in Alaska and Canada. Those animals were never proposed for federal protection.

maintain a majority of the ballots cast.

To push Navarre’s percentage below the required majority, Bearup and Martin would have needed to capture 1,204 absentee votes.

Absentee voters also swayed the results of an advisory vote on an animal rescue program in the unincorporated parts of the borough.

Voters were asked if they’d like to see animal control in unincorporated parts of the borough and, additionally, if they’d like to see a raise in the mill rate to pay for the program.

Election day voters declined both, however when the absentee votes were tallied, the “yes” votes outnumbered the “no” votes by five, bringing the total to 50.04 percent yes and 49.96 percent no.

Gay couples apply for Alaska marriage licenses Photo by Rashah McChesney/Peninsula Clarion

By MARK THIESSEN Associated Press

A flower lies in a muddy rut in the City of Kenai’s wildflower meadow Monday in Kenai. The grounds of the meadow were damaged extensively after a pickup truck was driven through the area. Police arrested a Kasilof man in connection to the case.

ANCHORAGE — Gay couples began applying for marriage licenses in Anchorage on Monday, 15 years after Alaska helped touch off a national debate with a ban on same-sex unions.

“It feels very surreal,” Ann Marie Garber said.

Garber and her partner, Koy Field, were among the first gay couples seeking a license to wed in Alaska. “I had no idea this would happen in my lifetime,” she said.

They decided to apply immediately after the ban was overturned by a federal judge Sunday.

“This is historical,” Garber said. “It’s exciting.”

Flower meadow vandalized

By RASHAH McCHESNEY Peninsula Clarion

At the height of its bloom in August, the wildflower field between the Kenai Spur Highway and Lawton Drive in Kenai was covered in hundreds of brilliantly colored blossoms. Now, it is covered in deep grooves and muddy ruts — the aftermath of an early morning encounter with an intoxicated pickup truck driver.

At least, that’s why Kenai

police arrested Josiah McElwain, 19, when they found him in a nearby ditch at 3:30 Monday morning.

“The Kenai Police Department received a report of a truck that was driving back and forth in the field where the city had planted the flowers,” said Kenai Police Sgt. Ben Langham.

When officers arrived on scene, they found McElwain, of Kasilof, who then drove his truck into a nearby ditch and got stuck. He was arrested for

driving under the influence, a class A misdemeanor which carries a mandatory sentence of at least 72 hours in jail, use of an ignition interlock device for at least six months and a fine of at least $1,500.

“The way I understand it is, he was actually driving in the field when officers (arrived),” Langham said.

Police are still investigating the incident and trying to determine the extent of the damage.

See FLOWER, page A-6

Timothy Burgess ruled that the gay marriage ban violated the due process and equal protection guarantees of the U.S. Constitution. His ruling came over the objection of gay marriage opponents who say states should decide the issue, not courts.

The ruling in favor of five couples who sued the state in May overturns a constitutional amendment approved by Alaska voters in 1998, defining marriage in the state as between one man and one woman.

It bars enforcement of any state law that keeps gay couples from marrying or refuses to recognize same-sex unions performed elsewhere.

Gay couples married outside of Alaska or in ceremonies within the state that didn’t carry legal standing were among those See MARRY, page A-6

Despite lingering questions, LNG project progresses

By RASHAH McCHESNEY Peninsula Clarion

Several reporters, industry representatives from ExxonMobil and the Alaska LNG project visited the Kenai Peninsula last week during a showcase of the research projects currently underway to determine whether Nikiski is a viable site for the terminus of a massive energy project.

On Thursday, Alaska LNG, a group with representatives from the state, oil companies and pipeline builders, flew several reporters to Nikiski where the group has been purchasing land and conducting geotechnical surveys near a site that could house a liquefaction plant for the project.

The Alaska LNG project concept would take natural gas from the North Slop near Prudhoe Bay and pipe it 800 miles to a plant site near Nikiski. Along

the way, at least five domestic gas off-takes would be built on the pipeline.

It is unclear exactly where the plant would be located, and ExxonMobil’s Alaska LNG Senior Manager Steve Butt said it would take time to find the right spot.

Still, the consortium has been purchasing land in Nikiski, and several trees in area near Autumn Road, where reporters were taken to see a team perform core sampling work, were labeled with large red and white “No Trespassing” signs.

The area, located just east of the Agrium facility on the Kenai Spur Highway, is part of a several hundred acre land-buy the consortium has been carrying out for months.

“We’ve been dealing with more than 100 landowners,” Butt said. “We have contracts with several of them.”

He said it the land currently

being acquired was “in excess of 300 acres.”

Ultimately, the group will need about 600 acres to build the plant, he said.

The plant would include three 42.3 million-gallon LNG storage tanks and be staffed by about 200 people during the day, according to the project

overview.

For local landowners, the possibility of being forced to sell has loomed in recent weeks.

According to the Jan. 14 Heads of Agreement between the state, the Alaska Gasline Development Corporation, TransCanada Alaska Development, and three oil companies, the state is willing to use its eminent domain rights “to facilitate implementation of the Alaska LNG project.”

Butt said it was early in the process to be talking about the state using eminent domain and, there are other options available if the consortium cannot acquire the land it needs in the Nikiski .

“If it doesn’t work here, there are other sites where we’ll have to go,” he said. “We want to work with the owners here and say ‘OK, does that work See LNG, page A-6

SarahPAC gives $45,000 to candidates JUNEAU (AP) — Sarah Palin’s political action committee gave $5,000 to Alaska tea party favorite Joe Miller a day before the state’s primary in August.

Palin endorsed Miller for the U.S. Senate seat held by Democrat Mark Begich. Miller finished second in the GOP primary to Dan Sullivan, whom Palin appointed as Alaska’s attorney general shortly before she resigned as governor in 2009.

In all, SarahPAC gave $45,000 to candidates between July and September, according to a Federal Election Commission filing.

Obituary Mary Foglia McConnell

Sterling Masons host spaghetti feed benefit

Longtime Kenai resident Mary Foglia McConnell, 83, died Monday, October 6, 2014 at Central Peninsula Hospital in Soldotna.

A Memorial Mass will be held at 4:00 p.m. Wednesday, October 15, 2014 at Our Lady of The Angels Catholic Church, 225 S. Spruce Street in Kenai. Father Rush O.M.I. will be officiating.

FBI detains man suspected of calling in threats ANCHORAGE (AP) — A man suspected of calling in threats Saturday night for aircraft at Ted Stevens Anchorage International Airport is in custody but has not been charged.

The threat briefly grounded flights.

KTUU-TV reports authorities are deciding whether to file charges in state or federal court.

Airport manager John Parrott says the arrest followed an investigation by Anchorage police and the FBI. He says a man called a police dispatcher and said the next airplane to take off would blow up.

Law enforcement officers using cellphone towers tracked the location of the call.

Airport police and Anchorage police located a suspect, who was turned over to the FBI. FBI spokesman Kevin Donovan says the name of the suspect will not be released until charges are filed. He says there’s no reason to think there was a threat to the public.

Garden club talks high tunnels 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.

Report details rural health care challenges FAIRBANKS (AP) — An aging workforce is among challenges of delivering health care to rural communities in Alaska, according to a new report.

The study concludes there is a lack of professional expertise in the state’s smaller communities, the Fairbanks Daily NewsMiner reported.

The report — called “Alaska’s Community Capacity Review: A Statewide Public Health System Assessment” — was released Oct. 1. It is based on a performance review the public health system earlier this year.

“A lot of our leadership is aging out,” said state health promotion manager Jayne Andreen, who worked on the report. “We need to be very aware of the need to mentor and build the capacity.”

Northern and southwest regions of the state are most lacking in health care providers, the report states.

The report notes a need to address root causes of health issues, such as alcohol and substance use. It also says there is a need to improve information and data sharing.

Kerre Shelton, director of the state Division of Public Health, said the report will be used as a baseline for improving the system.

“This report helps us understand Alaska’s unique public health system and find the gaps in it,” Shelton said in a statement.

Anchorage and the Matanuska-Susitna Borough represent 54 percent of Alaska’s population, according to Mary McEwen, a state public health

planner. She said those areas have 68 percent of physicians in the state.

“Places that might not have the population base to support a full-time physician may not have a full-time physician,” she said.

Recruitment and retention of

health care workers also a challenge, said Pat Carr, chief of the state’s planning and systems development. Many workers in rural Alaska stay only a few years before leaving the state or relocating to its urban areas.

“We do have turnover,” Carr said.

What Others Say

Asylum request puts spotlight on Russia The details are still murky, but this

is too good a story for cable TV to pass up.

Russia has canceled a 21-year-old high-school-student exchange program with the United States because a Russian teenager in the program, spending the academic year in Michigan, has sought asylum here for fear he will be persecuted if he returns home. He is gay.

It is true that Russia is notably inhospitable to gays, but the terms of the Future Leaders Exchange (FLEX) program, under which 238 Russian students are currently studying in the United States, require that all participants return home at the end of their year.

Because of privacy laws involving juveniles, few details have emerged from the U.S. side, but the Kremlin has used the case to portray Russia as a wholesome bulwark against increasingly decadent Western values.

A top Russian foreign ministry official portrayed the student’s defection, if that’s what it was, as a violation of not only the agreement but also the basic “moral and ethical principles of Russian society.”

One could fairly ask if under Vladimir Putin Russia has any moral or ethical principles other than selfenrichment, self-perpetuation in office, encroachment on its neighbors and seeking to mask its decline as a great power by aggravating the West and especially the United States.

Nonetheless, the United States, as in the Elian Gonzalez case, is obligated to return the boy home. Then at least Western diplomats and media can keep an eye on his treatment at the hands of the Russian authorities.

Quotable

The Court’s nonruling on marriage

Three points need to be made about the Oct. 6 decision by the Supreme Court not to decide whether the equal protection clause of the Constitution grants people of the same sex the right to marry.

Point 1: While the court’s liberal wing probably wanted to accept cases banning same-sex marriage in five states that have been overturned by three different federal appeals courts in recent months, the conservative majority, along with swing Justice Anthony Kennedy, apparently wished to see states resolve the issue. Perhaps they sought to avoid another Roe vs. Wade in which a previous court overturned all state abortion laws, creating a controversy that continues today. Even so, Kennedy waded into the deep again on Wednesday, blocking the appeals court ruling declaring gay marriage legal in Idaho and Nevada, but it’s likely only a temporary delay.

Point 2: For strict constructionists, the nonruling allows the culture to sort out the arguments consistent with what clearly are changing social mores. Whether this is good or bad is not up to courts to decide, conservatives might argue, but it beats topdown judicial activism of the type conservatives hate when liberal judges do it.

Point 3: The main arguments against permitting same-sex couples to marry are moral and biblical. The problem, especially for conservative Christians who oppose the legalization of gay marriage, is that

they are speaking to people who don’t accept their moral code, or biblical instruction. They cite Genesis 2:24: “That is why a man leaves his father and mother and is united to his wife, and they become one Cal Thomas flesh.” That verse is also quoted by Jesus in the New Testament.

Here’s why invoking verses from the Bible isn’t working. In addition to the courts having abandoned such instruction, along with, in too many cases, the Constitution that is supposed to constrain government, a growing number of people no longer accept biblical teaching. Many, the products of liberal universities, also regard the Constitution as a “living document,” by which they mean it, too, can be changed or ignored to suit the times.

There are at least two problems with using a moral and biblical argument. One is: How do same-sex marriage opponents persuade people who don’t believe traditional marriage was God’s idea and should remain as He intended? The answer is they can’t. And so it becomes a political power play with one side quoting Scripture or history and the other side demanding “equality.” Whoever gets the most votes — at the

ballot box or by judicial decision — wins.

A second problem for same-sex marriage opponents is: “What’s next?” What standard should be used to decide the legitimacy, even morality, of others who make similar appeals to equality for their behavior? If there is no longer to be a single standard for marriage, what other standards might soon be abandoned?

This is the most important point of all, because if there is to be no standard are we prepared for the social anarchy that will likely follow? Is the acceptance of everything simply a matter of conditioning, or are there some things that are true for all time, regardless of the age?

Are we willing to accept the consequences of being mini-gods, deciding what is right and wrong in our own eyes? Is this the ultimate triumph of the “If it feels good, do it” mantra of the ‘60s?

Those who regard same-sex marriage as more evidence of a decline in morality will see America following other great empires and nations that collapsed from within before they were conquered from without. Those working so diligently to attack structures that have preserved cultures for centuries have an obligation to at least tell us how far they intend to go and on what basis they would shout, “stop, no further.”

Letters to the Editor Walker would take

“We knew a second case could be a reality, and we’ve been Alaska back to failure preparing for this possibility.”

When Peninsula residents go to the polls — Dr. David Lakey, commissioner of the Texas Department of State Health Services, after a Dallas Nov. 4, they have a clear choice. Continue health care worker treating Ebola victim along a path to prosperity — or return to Thomas Eric Duncan contracted the deadly virus. the failed policies of the past.

Your vote can keep Alaska’s oil tax “This is just an amazing day for Alaska. We’re just so fortu- working for the good of us all — and adnate that so many have fought for equality for so long — I mean, vance a gas pipeline project that could actually be built. A pipeline that ends right decades.”

— Susan Tow, a gay marriage advocate, here on the Peninsula.

Last August, our part of Alaska voted after a federal judge struck down the state’s first-in-the-nation ban on same-sex nuptials. overwhelmingly for hope and a bright future by voting to let oil tax reform work.

One glance out the window explains why 70 percent of Peninsula voters said no to Ballot Measure 1.

By GARRY TRUDEAU Tax reform is producing huge results in an area many once wrote off as too old to resuscitate. It’s brought new players, new exploration wells, new jack-up rigs, 3-D seismic over large chunks of the basin — and the first new production platform since the mid 1980s.

Tax reform has led to a doubling of oil production in four years and enough natural gas to spur talks of reopening the mothballed Agrium plant.

Statewide, tax reform is now producing more revenue for the state than ACES would, more jobs, more business for Alaska companies and an LNG project that’s closer to reality than it’s ever been.

Despite the reality of tax reform, the Walker/Mallott team wants to return to a tax policy that saw Alaska lose 200,000 barrels of oil/day at a time when production increased in every other oil-producing state. They want to go back to ACES and watch the pipeline shrivel up. It was under ACES that Alaska fell from being the number-two producer state to number four — behind California.

The Alaska business community held its breath — and suspended new investment decisions — as it awaited the outcome of the August vote. Wells Fargo’s Alaska Regional Business Banking Manager Darren Franz recently told a business publication that he talked to six customers two weeks before the vote. The six had $40 million in projects they would do if oil tax reform

was retained. Another $60 million project would have been canceled if the vote had not gone well, he said.

Up on the North Slope, companies have pledged $10 billion in a new capital infusion over the next few years. That equates to tens of thousands of barrels of new production — and renewed life for the pipeline.

Walker makes no secret of his antagonism towards the companies that made the $50 billion investment to make the North Slope such a good deal for Alaskans. That investment means we don’t have to pay a state income or sales taxes. Instead, we get paid for merely living in the state. Walker has a long history of suing the producers — and losing — but going on to sue some more. Currently he’s suing over Point Thomson, a $4 billion investment that’s key to a gas pipeline.

One of Walker’s pet peeves is the Alaska LNG Project, which is headed to Nikiski and not Walker’s hometown of Valdez.

Even though this project has gone further than any other gas pipeline endeavor, Walker favors his own project, which has gone nowhere for decades because it has no gas, no market, no investors — and relies on the state to assume most, if not all, of the cost and the risk.

There is a clear choice for the Peninsula this November. I’m voting to keep the oil boom going and the Alaska LNG Project on track. I’m voting for Parnell/Sullivan, a team that actually delivers results.

U.S. consumerism unsustainable Twenty years ago I was on a national television show. I expressed my concern about the ever growing federal government debt of $4.5 trillion. I raised a question then: What will happen when all money collected in taxes goes to interest on the national debt? I restated The Grace Commission report (1984), by 1996 we would be at the point of no return.

From then to now I have studied economics. The Grace Commission expectation was incorrect. The Federal Reserve and our government had a greater scheme than any individual could imagine. Ex-

pand speculative bubbles in the economy.

Abolish Glass-Steagall law of 1933, drive interest rates ever lower, forever, so all persons can borrow more money. Speculative investing exploded in growth, resulting in the expansion of derivatives and leveraging. We have all seen the resulting bubbles.

The tech bubble (1997-2001), The stock market bubble (2002) and then the housing bubble (2007-08). We are told it is part of the business cycle of the free market. But how can it be a free market if some private entity is controlling interest rates?

Our national debt marches towards $18 trillion. We are the largest debtor nation on the planet. Today, we have developed new bubbles in money, stock market, bond market and expanded our ever growing military conquest to the tune of $650 billion per year. More than 3 times what China spends and 6 times what Russia spends on their military. Interest rates continue at historic lows. Money is borrowed so the greatest consumers in the world may go into debt to purchase all the developing countries’ best products. And China’s economy has just surpassed the United States of America’s economy in terms of purchasing power according to the International Monetary Fund. Today, China’s national debt is what ours was in 1994.

Interest rates cannot be held down forever. According to Fortune magazine, in an October 8 article, NY Federal Reserve President William Dudley believes an increase in interest rate is “reasonable” by mid 2015. So I raise the same question from 1994: What will happen when all money collected in taxes goes to interest on our national debt? I will add one other question. How long will the developing world of 6 billion souls support our ever growing indebtedness for consumerism and military conquest? I know, I know, eat drink and be merry. We are the great United States of America. An Empire to last forever or at least a 1,000 years with our military might.

Nation/World Hospitals urged to ‘think Ebola’

By EMILY SCHMALL Associated Press

DALLAS — Federal health officials on Monday urged the nation’s hospitals to “think Ebola” and launched a review of procedures for treating infected patients, while the World Health Organization called the outbreak “the most severe, acute health emergency seen in modern times.”

In Texas, medical records showed that a 26-year-old nurse who contracted Ebola while caring for a dying Liberian man repeatedly visited his room from the day he was placed in intensive care until the day before he died.

Nurse Nina Pham was among about 70 hospital staffers who were involved in Thomas Eric Duncan’s care after he was hospitalized, according to the records. They drew his blood, put tubes down his throat and wiped up his diarrhea. They analyzed his urine and wiped saliva from his lips, even after he had lost consciousness.

Pham and other health care workers at Texas Health Presbyterian Hospital wore protective gear, including gowns, gloves, masks and face shields — and sometimes full-body suits — when caring for Duncan, but Pham became the first person to contract the disease within the United States.

Her family told Dallas television station WFAA on Monday that she was the health care worker with Ebola. A rector at her family’s church, Hung Le, told The Associated Press that Pham’s mother told him Pham has the virus.

The Texas Christian University nursing school graduate was monitoring her own temperature and went to the hospital Friday night when she discovered she had a low fever. She was in isolation and in stable condition, health officials said.

Public-health authorities have since intensified their monitoring of other Dallas hospital workers who cared for Duncan.

Centers for Disease Control and Prevention Director Tom Frieden said he would not be surprised if another hospital worker who cared for Duncan becomes ill because Ebola patients become more contagious as the disease progresses.

Pham’s name appears frequently throughout the hundreds of pages of records provided to The Associated Press

by Duncan’s family. They show she was in his room Oct. 7, the day before he died.

Her notes describe nurses going in and out of Duncan’s room wearing protective gear to treat him and to mop the floor with bleach.

She also notes how she and other nurses were ensuring Dun-

can’s “privacy and comfort,” and providing “emotional support.”

Frieden has said a breach of protocol led to the nurse’s infection, but officials are not sure what went wrong. Pham has not been able to point to any specific breach.

The CDC is now monitoring all hospital workers who treated Duncan and planned to “double down” on training and outreach on how to safely treat Ebola patients, Frieden said.

When asked how many health care workers are being checked, Frieden said officials “don’t have a number.”

Health officials have relied on a “self-monitoring” system when it comes to U.S. health care workers who care for isolated Ebola patients. They expect workers to report any potential exposures to the virus and watch themselves for symptoms.

Besides the workers, health officials continue to track 48 people who were in contact with Duncan before he was admitted to the hospital and placed in isolation. They are monitoring one person the nurse was in contact with while she was in an infectious state.

None has exhibited symptoms, Frieden said.

The case involving Pham raised questions about assurances by American health officials that the disease will be con-

tained and that any U.S. hospital should be able to treat it.

Dr. Anthony Fauci, director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, told ABC’s “Good Morning America” that federal health authorities should consider requiring that Ebola patients be sent only to highly specialized “containment” hospitals.

Duncan, who arrived in the U.S. from Liberia 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.

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.

Fauci told CNN that the CDC is examining procedures like dialysis to see if they “heighten greatly” the risk of health care workers contracting Ebola. He suggested that in cases where the patient has deteriorated to the point where he or she cannot be saved, such high-risk procedures should not be done.

Protests continue after clash in Hong Kong

By SYLVIA HUI Associated Press

M K

HONG KONG — A mob of masked men opposed to Hong Kong’s pro-democracy demonstrators led an apparently coordinated assault on the protest zone in the heart of the city’s financial district Monday, tearing down barricades and clashing with police.

The chaotic scenes came after police carried out a dawn operation to reopen some key roads blocked by protesters for more than 15 days. Police said they will continue to chip away at the occupied zone to relieve traffic, and warned that anyone who challenges them could be arrested.

Monday’s confrontations highlighted the growing tension between student-led protesters and authorities - as well as other residents aggravated by the disruptions. The protesters, who had enjoyed widespread support when the movement began, are fighting to keep up momentum as the political crisis entered a third week.

Demonstrators have flooded several thoroughfares in central Hong Kong since Sept. 28 in a civil disobedience movement to oppose restrictions on the first-ever direct election for the semiautonomous Chinese city’s leader, promised by Beijing for 2017. They want authorities to drop a plan to use a pro-Beijing committee to screen candidates, and demand the resignation of Chief Executive Leung Chunying, the city’s deeply unpopular Beijing-backed leader.

Authorities have repeatedly urged protesters to retreat from the streets, but student leaders have vowed to keep up the disruptions until the government responds to their demands.

Protesters were building huge new barriers out of bamboo and garbage cans Monday after about two dozen men wearing surgical masks to hide their faces tore at the metal barricades that demonstrators had earlier put in place.

The men, who used box cutters to snap the cable ties connecting the barricades, scuffled with protesters and police who tried to stop them.

An angry crowd of several hundred people then descended on the scene, rushing up to the barricades and attempting to storm the protest zone. They punched their fists in the air and chanted “Open the road!”

About a dozen taxi drivers joined in, driving their cabs up to the barricades and leaning on their horns to express their anger over the traffic disruptions.

A line of police officers held the crowd back, keeping them separated from the protesters on

the other side of the barriers.

It was not immediately clear who organized the anti-protest crowd, but some blamed triads, or organized crime gangs.

“Before the police came, young men wearing masks and dark clothing came to pick fights with people and we heard that some of them had weapons,” said Kevin Ng, a college student who was at the scene and saw the scuffles. “I don’t know who the young men wearing masks were. We suspect they’re

triad members, but it’s hard to say. What other kind of group would organize themselves to come attack us?”

The tension later eased as most of the crowd dispersed.

Police took away some masked men inside the protest zone who tried to pick fights with the protesters, and later said they arrested three men, aged 18 to 47, at the clashes on suspicion of assault and carrying weapons. Police did not say which side those arrested supported.

Allegations have surfaced that some people were paid to disrupt the protests. A local radio station broadcast an audio clip Monday in which a man, said to be a taxi driver, discussed a payment of 2,000 Hong Kong dollars ($258) to take part in the ruckus.

The clip could not be independently verified.

Around the World Catholic bishops say gays offer gifts to the church VATICAN CITY — Gay rights groups hailed a “seismic shift” by the Catholic Church toward gays on Monday after bishops said homosexuals had gifts to offer the church and that their partnerships, while morally problematic, provided homosexuals with “precious” support.

In a preliminary report half-way through a Vatican meeting on family life, the bishops also said the church must recognize the “positive” aspects of civil unions and even Catholics who cohabitate, with the aim of bringing them to a lifelong commitment in a church wedding.

The report summarized the closed-door debate that Pope Francis initiated to discuss a host of hot-button family issues such as marriage, divorce, homosexuality and birth control.

No decisions were announced, but the tone of the report was one of almost-revolutionary acceptance rather than condemnation, and it will guide discussions until a final document is issued Saturday.

Turkey: No new deal with US on using air base against Islamic militants ANKARA, Turkey — NATO allies Turkey and the United States differed Monday on where they stand on the use of a key air base, with Turkish officials denying reports from the United States that there was a new agreement on its use for operations against Islamic State militants.

The impasse suggests that major differences remain between the two sides. Turkey has said it won’t join the fight against the extremists unless the U.S.-led coalition also goes after the Syrian government of President Bashar Assad, including establishing a no-fly zone and a buffer zone along the Turkish border.

Pentagon chief warns climate change could bring big challenges for U.S. military AREQUIPA, Peru — Rising sea levels and other effects of climate change will pose major challenges for America’s military, including more and worse natural disasters and the threat that food and water shortages could fuel disputes and instability around the world, Defense Secretary Chuck Hagel said Monday.

Addressing a conference of military leaders as the Pentagon released a new report on the issue, Hagel said, “Our militaries’ readiness could be tested, and our capabilities could be stressed.”

U.S. military officials have long warned that changes in climate patterns, resulting in increased severe weather events and coastal flooding, will have a broad and costly impact on the Defense Department’s ability to protect the nation and respond to natural and humanitarian disasters in the United States and around the globe.

“To hydroseed the entire area, we’re probably looking at $5,600,” he said.

While the latest seeding didn’t cost that much, Frates said the field was to be supplemented with a smaller fall and spring seeding, the extent of the damage could necessitate another hydroseeding.

“It’s just an unfortunate incident. There’s a lot of the public, a lot of community residents that just fell in love with that and ... for somebody to go and do what they did is just unfortunate, very unfortunate.”

Frates said the type of damage done to the flower meadow isn’t common in Kenai.

“We’ll see vandalism, but not to this (extent). This was pretty malicious,” he said.

Kenai Parks and Recreation Director Bob Frates estimated that about half of the field had been destroyed.

“Unfortunately for us, we just re-seeded it. We did our fall application last week,” Frates said. “A lot of that, in places that the vehicle travelled, is probably for naught. What it does, is it disrupts the seed bed and will leave areas where we don’t have seed.”

The meadow will likely have to be graded with a tractor and a plane, then re-seeded, Frates said.

Butt said other locations for the liquefaction plant could be on the east or west side of Cook Inlet, but would not specify.

“We believe this is the right place to start,” he said. “That’s why we’re doing this geotechnical work.”

In addition to core sampling near Nikiski, the consortium has hired three boats to perform underwater surveys to map areas of the Cook Inlet.

In order for the consortium to scrap plans to build a facility in Nikiski, Butt said the group would have to come across “something that implies we can’t get the land we need,” or “something that we learn in the geotechnical analysis that indicates putting the plant here would be imprudent.”

Workers take a core sample near Autumn Road, Thursday in Nikiski where the Alaska LNG Project has been buying land and planning to build an LNG facility at the terminus of a pipeline in a project that, if built, would be the largest of its kind in the world.

Royals, Orioles must wait due to rain DAVE SKRETTA AP Sports Writer

KANSAS CITY, Mo. — The last two times the Kansas City Royals played a postseason game at home, rain fell after the final out. This time, it started well before the first pitch.

Game 3 of the AL Championship Series between the Royals and Baltimore Orioles was postponed Monday because of steady rain that saturated Kauffman Stadium. The game was rescheduled for today at 4:07 p.m. ADT. Along with steady rain, wind gusts of 25 mph were buffeting the ballpark.

The forecast for Tuesday is cold and windy but dry, with weather improving the rest of the week.

“We want a game we know we can get through nine innings, hopefully play dry baseball, not risk player safety or uncomfortable fans,” Major League

Baseball Senior Vice President Peter Woodfork said about 4 hours before the scheduled first pitch.

The Royals, who lead the bestof-seven series 2-0, will keep former Orioles pitcher Jeremy Guthrie on the mound for Game 3. The Orioles will start Wei-Yin Chen, as planned.

After that, rotations become a little murky.

Royals manager Ned Yost said he’ll decide before today’s game whether to stick with left-hander Jason Vargas for Game 4 on Wednesday or call for an audible and pitch Game 1 starter James Shields on regular rest. That game is scheduled to start at 12:07 p.m. ADT. “Guthrie will throw tomorrow, and then we’ll go from there,” Yost said.

“Shields can come back or if we feel like we want to give him another day, we can do that, too.”

Orioles manager Buck Showalter was facing a similar conundrum.

Miguel Gonzalez was slated to start Game 4, but Chris Tillman could return on regular rest. He opposed Shields when the Royals beat the Orioles in extra innings in the series opener.

“He’s on normal rest, so yeah, he’s an option,” Showalter said. “That’d be five (days), right? But I wouldn’t commit to anything right now other than Chen and see where we are.”

It’s not a slam-dunk decision for Yost and Showalter to go with their aces. Shields and Tillman struggled Friday night, neither lasting past the fifth inning.

“We’re still getting our arms wrapped around it,” Showalter said.

If needed, Game 5 would start at 4:07 p.m. EDT on Thursday. Games 6 and 7 would return to Baltimore and be played Friday and Saturday, as

scheduled.

“Our teams are used to play consecutive games in a row,” Woodfork said.

“Hopefully it will not have a negative impact on the clubs.”

Rain had been in the forecast for the first two games of the ALCS at Camden Yards, but both games were played without delay. The Royals won the first 8-6 in 10 innings, and Alcides Esocbar’s go-ahead double in the ninth inning boosted them to a 6-4 victory Saturday.

Since the best-of-seven format was adopted in 1985, all 11 teams that have won the first two games of a league championship series on the road reached the World Series.

That doesn’t seem to have put a damper on the Orioles’ confidence.

“We’ve played two close games that have gone their way. We’ve had our chances,” Orioles reliever An-

drew Miller said. “We can stop their momentum with a win. They stopped ours. They came in and we hadn’t lost in a while. We’ve got to experience that. Now it’s our turn.”

It won’t be easy. With a stingy bullpen and a scrappy offense that has suddenly started to hit home runs, the Royals have won nine straight postseason games dating to Game 5 of the 1985 World Series — three shy of the record shared by two bunches of New York Yankees.

Of the six this year, all but one have been in dramatic fashion.

The Royals beat the A’s in a 12-inning wild-card thriller, after which rain started to pour at Kauffman Stadium. Then they won a pair of 11-inning contests on the road against the Angels in the ALDS before returning home and cruising to an 8-3 series clincher.

Molina could help in Game 3 JANIE McCAULEY AP Baseball Writer

SAN FRANCISCO — The St. Louis Cardinals arrived in the Bay Area ballpark they know so well in October and began preparing for the possibility of facing the Giants without star catcher Yadier Molina.

“Another beautiful day in NorCal!” reliever Randy Choate shouted as he hopped up the dugout steps and onto the field for Monday’s workout.

“Shocker!” bench coach Mike Aldrete hollered in response.

Manager Mike Matheny is encouraged Molina might be able to help St. Louis as soon as Tuesday in Game 3, perhaps initially just off the bench as he recovers from a strained left oblique muscle sustained in Sunday’s 5-4 victory at Busch Stadium. Playing at all appeared doubtful only a night earlier, then Molina played catch under cloudless skies at AT&T Park and gave Matheny hope.

“A little better than what I expected,” Molina said afterward. “When I woke up, I was moving all right. We’ll see. I’m going to try.”

A.J. Pierzynski is the likely choice to catch former Boston teammate John Lackey in Game 3, and deemed himself ready. The best-of-seven series is tied 1-1.

Molina flew on the team charter on Sunday night after having an MRI. Once the Cardinals arrived at the ballpark on Monday, Molina met with team doctors and medical staff in the training room of the visitors’ clubhouse.

Matheny carried three catchers and has Tony Cruz and Pierzynski to fill the big void.

“Obviously it’s a big loss, but we spent some time without him this year and we’re

49ers wide receiver Michael Crabtree throws the ball into the crowd after scoring a touchdown against the St. Louis Rams in the third quarter of an NFL football game Monday in St Louis.

49ers notch comeback vs. Rams R.B. FALLSTROM AP Sports Writer

ST. LOUIS — Colin Kaepernick and the San Francisco 49ers answered St. Louis’ fast start with a big finish.

Kaepernick threw for 343 yards and three touchdowns, helping the 49ers erase an early 14-point deficit and beat the Rams 31-17 on Monday night.

“Our guys showed championship character, I thought,” coach Jim Harbaugh said.

“I’m really proud of the way they stepped up.”

Brandon Lloyd, Anquan Boldin and Michael Crabtree each caught a scoring pass for the 49ers (4-2), who have won

three in a row. Ahmad Brooks and Dan Skuta had two sacks apiece for a stifling defense that sacked Austin Davis five times and permitted one first down on St. Louis’ first six possessions of the second half.

“We’ve had the ball in every game with a chance to either win or tie,” Davis said.

“That’s where hopefully my experience will help, the more opportunities I get.

“You’ve got to be able to go win games at the end.”

Kaepernick had plenty of time to throw and wasn’t sacked.

“We just want to win,” Kaepernick said. “Whatever it takes, if we’re up with the

lead or if we have to come from behind.”

Kaepernick found Boldin zipping across the end zone for an 11-yard touchdown pass, capping a go-ahead 80yard drive to start the second half. As the Niners were taking the 17-14 lead, several fans in the upper deck unfurled a large banner above the videoboard on the opposite end of the stadium as part of ongoing protests about the Michael Brown shooting in suburban Ferguson in August.

San Francisco then added to its advantage when Kaepernick connected with Crabtree for a 32-yard score with 13 seconds left in the third.

The Rams had one last

chance to tie the game, but Dontae Johnson returned an interception 20 yards for the clinching score with 53 seconds to go.

It was a disappointing conclusion for St. Louis, which had 151 yards and a 14-0 lead after the first quarter on Benny Cunningham’s 1-yard run and a 22-yard touchdown reception for Lance Kendricks.

St. Louis wore throwback uniforms — royal blue and bright yellow — to honor its 1999 Super Bowl title team and represented that winning squad very well for a short time. Guard Adam Timmerman joined wide receivers Isaac Bruce and Torry Holt See NFL, Page A-8

fortunate to have A.J. and Tony, who are two really good players,” infielder Mark Ellis said.

“We’re lucky to have them but I feel bad for Yadi because this is what he worked for the whole year and he’s not able to be with us.”

Tim Hudson takes the ball for the Giants, the 39-year-old right-hander’s first start beyond the division series in 16 major league seasons.

He is already thriving in the raucous playoff environment of pumped-up crowds.

“At this point in my career, it’s almost like a shot of coffee,” he said.

While noting he wishes no ill will for the injured Molina, Hudson would be fine not having to face the slugging catcher. There are plenty of other big bats to contend with, anyway.

“That would be a pretty big blow for them, not only from an offensive standpoint but from a defensive standpoint how he handles those pitchers.” Hudson said. “But it wouldn’t hurt my feelings if he’s not in the lineup for a few days, there’s no question about that.”

As the series shifts to San Francisco’s pitcher-friendly ballpark, the Cardinals know plenty about how the Giants protect their home field. Two years ago, St. Louis arrived in town leading the NLCS 3-2 before the Giants rallied to take the series on the way to their second championship in three years.

Lackey, too, has pitched on the big October stage in San Francisco — albeit back in 2002 with the eventual champion wild-card Angels.

Reminded he intentionally walked home run king Barry Bonds four times, Lackey smiled and said: “Wouldn’t you? Geez.”

RENTON, Wash. — There were going to be plenty of questions about where the Seattle Seahawks are headed on offense after Sunday’s 30-23 loss to Dallas.

Marshawn Lynch touched the ball only 10 times. Russell Wilson threw for 66 yards after the first quarter and Percy Harvin finished with zero yards receiving despite making three catches.

The bigger concern could be the list of injuries the Super Bowl champs are suddenly dealing with now.

Cornerback Byron Maxwell, middle linebacker Bobby Wagner and center Max Unger are all in question for Sunday’s game at St. Louis with a variety of injuries.

Maxwell was originally thought to have a high ankle sprain after going down in the second quarter on Sunday, but was diagnosed Monday with a calf strain that should get him back on the field sooner than first expected.

Unger has a strained foot that kept him inactive on Sunday and his status against the Rams likely won’t be decided till the end of the week.

The severity of Wagner’s turf toe injury has not been determined, but could be the most significant. Wagner was

injured early in the second quarter on Sunday, but returned in the second half.

Coach Pete Carroll said Monday that Wagner is “banged up,” and didn’t rule out that the injury could be similar to the one suffered by left tackle Russell Okung last season in Week 2 that required surgery and a stint on injured reserve. Okung returned later in the season. “(It) could be. We’ll have to wait and see,” Carroll said. “We’ll have to assess that and figure it out.”

Cruz underwent successful surgery Monday afternoon. The surgery was performed by team physician Dr. Russell Warren at the Hospital for Special Surgery in Manhattan.

The best his teammates and Eagles players could do was tap him on the shoulder in support as he left the field.

It’s the second straight year the 27-yearold Cruz had his season ended early by a knee injury. He had surgery on his left knee in December after being hurt against Seattle.

This one seemed far more serious for Cruz undergoes surgery the fan favorite who entertains Giants EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. (AP) faithful with salsa dances after catching — Overcome with emotion, his hands touchdowns. in front of his eyes as the tears flowed, Victor Cruz couldn’t hide his pain.

The team selected Manziel in the first round of this year’s draft with the idea he would be its quarterback of the future. However, Hoyer’s development could change the Browns’ plans.

Agent Joe Linta said Hoyer is remaining patient and focused solely on winning.

Jets suffer more injuries FLORHAM PARK, N.J. — The New York Jets’ shaky secondary is in shambles. Their offensive line is down a starter, too.

Starting cornerback Dee Milliner and left guard Brian Winters were placed on season-ending injured reserve on Monday. Milliner has a torn right Achilles tendon, while Winters has a torn anterior cruciate ligament in his left knee — and both will need surgery.

“They look like significant injuries,” coach Rex Ryan said earlier Monday. “Both those guys, it doesn’t look good.”

The Jets signed cornerback Josh Thomas to take Milliner’s spot on the roster, and they claimed offensive lineman Wesley Johnson off waivers from Pittsburgh to help fill Winters’ place.

Sports Briefs Diamondbacks hire Hale as manager PHOENIX — Chip Hale spent 10 seasons in the Arizona Diamondbacks’ organization, the final three as the major league third base coach. He also played at the University of Arizona and still lives in Tucson.

If ever there was a perfect fit for Hale’s first job as a big league manager, it was with the Diamondbacks, who gave him a two-year contract Monday to replace Kirk Gibson.

“This is the perfect job for me and my family, and that is important for me to be here,” Hale said.

Backsliding since winning the 2011 NL West title, the Diamondbacks underwent a major front-office overhaul this season.

Arizona hired retired Hall of Fame manager Tony La Russa as chief baseball officer in May, asking him to assess the entire organization.

He fired general manager Kevin Towers in early September and replaced him with Dave Stewart, a four-time 20-game winner who pitched for La Russa while with Oakland. The Diamondbacks also hired De Jon Watson from the Los Angeles Dodgers to serve as senior vice president/baseball operations.

Fisher: Winston committed no crime TALLAHASSEE, Fla. — Coach Jimbo Fisher said Florida State’s Jameis Winston has committed no crime and is adamant the quarterback will not miss any games this season due to an ongoing sexual assault investigation.

Fisher said Monday recent reports about the investigation haven’t revealed any new facts.

“This country is based off being innocent until proven guilty, not guilty till you’re proven innocent,” Fisher said. “There is no victim because there was no crime. We’re convicting a guy over things that are not true, based on evidence.

“There’s facts of the case and what the reports are. Public opinion wants to do what they do. They don’t get what they want. ... We believe in him, 100 percent.”

Transgender ex-husband is embarrassment to his sons during our “senior years.”

We are both in our 70s, live on Social Security, and I am physically unable to do much of anything, so our nephew has also offered us a weekly gardener and a house cleaner twice a month.

Abby, how are we ever going to be able to repay his generosity? My children are not in a position to offer us much help, but they plan to Abigail Van Buren be around and help with additions to the house, painting and things like that. How can I repay them for the labor they’re going to expend?

I’m so grateful to all of them and feel helpless to let them know how I feel.

— SO GRATEFUL IN ROMNEY, W.VA. DEAR SO GRATEFUL: You have obviously been a wonderful parent to your children and the nephew you raised like a son. Now it’s time for them to repay YOU, so please relax and accept it.

Because you want to give them something, conDEAR ABBY: Our nephew, whom we raised, has sider assembling family albums for each of them or offered my husband and me a lovely home to live in a cookbook containing some of your special recipes.

I am sure that receiving such treasures along with your thanks and your love will be compensation enough.

DEAR ABBY: I have an 11-year-old daughter who was diagnosed with severe ADHD and anxiety at the age of 7. She is receiving treatment for her condition.

My problem is, I don’t know how to cope with her and her condition. I get impatient and frustrated when I have to continually repeat myself because she’s not doing what she has to do.

I’m afraid I may have hurt her by lashing out at her in anger, and I catch myself yelling and screaming more than hugging and praising. I need to find help and resources to educate me and provide support for this very real condition.

— IN ADHD TURMOIL DEAR IN TURMOIL: A place to start would be to discuss your concerns with the doctor or therapist who has been treating your daughter. Your feelings are not unusual, and he or she may be able to direct you to a parent support group in your area.

If that’s not possible, go online and search “support groups for parents of children with ADHD.” You will find many pages of resources — so many that it’s not possible to list all of them here.

Car on ice not all gummed up Dear Heloise: I discovered strings of gum along one side of my car. Not wanting to damage the finish, I was reluctant to try any solvents. Then I thought, “What would Heloise do?” I remembered your hints about using ice to harden gum and make it easier to remove from clothing and household surfaces, so why not a car? Worked like a charm!

— Donna L., via email Glad you thought it through before using the wrong product! Just be sure to place the ice cubes in a plastic bag before holding it against the car.

— Heloise Remove buildup Dear Heloise: I use about 2 tablespoons of baking soda mixed with half a glass of warm water to remove hairspray buildup on my hair. Works great!

Regular shampoo sometimes doesn’t remove the spray after it hardens.

— Bonnie in Arkansas This is a classic Heloise hint! Safe, cheap and “green.” You can either add the baking soda to the shampoo you use or just mix it with water, as you do.

Yet another reason I love the stuff! For more money-saving ideas, order my popular Heloise’s Baking Soda Hints and Recipes pamphlet by sending $5 and a long, self-addressed, stamped (70 cents) envelope to: Heloise/Baking Soda, P.O. Box 795001, San Antonio, TX 78279-5001.

DEAR ABBY: After 10 years of marriage, my now ex-husband told me he is transgender. He isn’t taking hormones, but he makes no attempt to hide his feminine dressing, makeup and wigs from our 6- and 9-year-old sons. They understand little of their dad’s new life, other than that their dad likes “girl stuff.”

They often tell me they are embarrassed being with their dad in public when he has his nails painted or is wearing female clothing.

I have tried talking to my ex about this, but he becomes resentful when I bring it up. He feels he can do whatever he wants regardless of how he embarrasses our sons. Do you think I could take him to court to have an order put in place that he not dress like that when he has our children?

— NEEDS TO KNOW IN NEW YORK DEAR NEEDS TO KNOW: You could discuss it with your divorce lawyer, but I don’t think it would work. It would be much better if you asked your ex to explain to his boys the reason he’s dressing in female attire so they can understand it. Your husband is not going to change, so they are going to have to interact with him until they are quite a bit older.

Crowdfunding gives a leg up to animal projects

By SUE MANNING Associated Press

LOS ANGELES — A large number of small online donations can turn pet projects into big lifesavers for animals.

LoveAnimals.org, a year-old crowdfunding site, is believed to be the first devoted to aiding just pets and wildlife. It has tapped into the power of online contributions, where people can give what they can, whether $5 or $500, to help a more costly project come to fruition. Through Love Animals, donors can help nonprofit sanctuaries, pet rescues, animal hospitals, zoos and aquariums provide care and extra amenities for dogs, elephants, otters, horses and everything in between.

Animal efforts appear on other sites using the popular crowdfunding technique, such as Indiegogo, Kickstarter and Gofundme, but they are mixed with non-animal causes and for-profit companies. In July, the ResQwalk mobile app launched through Indiegogo, allowing people to raise money for animal rescues and shelters in the U.S. and Canada every time they go walking.

“It’s easier to get many people to give small sums of money than to get just a few people to give you large amounts of money,” said Sarah Timms, a

Colorado attorney who founded LoveAnimals.org.

The site gave a new chance at life to a kitten named Roger, who was thrown from a moving car in Colorado in early September and required a leg amputation.

Longmont Humane Society in Colorado, which took in the 1-pound kitten, doubled its goal of $650 in less than 24 hours of online fundraising. Twenty people donated between $5 and $375 through Love Animals to help pay for medical bills and rehab for Roger.

Timms founded the free site after reading a study from Massolution, a crowdfunding research company, which said

crowdfunding raises billions of dollars globally every year.

“We will make sure animals get a piece of that pie,” Timms said.

Love Animals, which will only post animal campaigns that come through a nonprofit organization, recently got a boost from Ellen DeGeneres’ natural pet food company. Halo, Purely for Pets became the site’s first founding corporate sponsor, a five-year commitment that came with cash infusion.

Whether the cause is a companion animal like Roger, who was adopted on Oct. 3, or saving chimpanzees, farm animals or dolphins, it appears on Love-

Animals.org, Timms said.

Carole Baskin, the CEO of Big Cat Rescue, which she founded in Tampa, Florida, 22 years ago, used Love Animals to raise money for a fence extension that would foil a female tiger’s escape attempts and allow her to join her siblings in the sanctuary’s new outdoor enclosure.

The rescue is home to more than 100 lions, tigers, bobcats, cougars and other abandoned, abused or orphaned wild cats, including Amanda and brothers Andre and Arthur.

Big Cat Rescue built a 2.5acre open-air enclosure last year with money raised the old-fashioned way. It is surrounded by a 15-foot fence topped with a 5-foot overhang so the 150-pound cats can safely roam, run and play in an area with a swimming hole and unobstructed views of the sky.

But Amanda, who previously had tried to escape, wasn’t allowed in the area until Baskin’s father invented a short, drapelike addition for the overhang to keep her in the enclosure.

The rescue’s $20,000 campaign for the addition last November garnered donations ranging from $2 to $1,000, allowing Amanda to stretch her legs, watch over her brothers and get in good roar.
