In the news Alaska files appeal of gay marriage ruling C

ANCHORAGE (AP) — The state of Alaska is seeking to have an 11-judge panel of the federal appeals court for the West review a lower court’s ruling that struck down gay marriage. The state on Wednesday filed its case with the 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals in San Francisco. U.S. District Judge Timothy Burgess ruled Oct. 12 that the state’s ban on gay marriage approved by voters in 1998 violated the due process and equal protection provisions of the U.S. Constitution. The state maintains in its filing that that was an incorrect interpretation. The state served notice it would appeal, and asked the 9th Circuit Court to halt samesex marriages while the appeal process went forward. A three-judge panel allowed a temporary stay to give the state time to ask the U.S. Supreme Court for a permanent halt to marriages through the appeal process. The nation’s highest court denied the state’s request in a one-sentence ruling last Friday, and couples began marrying Monday. The state is asking the court to look at this separately from its decision that overturned gay marriage in Idaho and Nevada. A majority of the appeal court’s 29 justices would have to agree to hear Alaska’s case. If that’s granted, an 11-judge panel instead of the court’s normal three-judge panel would hear the case.

Aurora, Colorado Fire Department Capt. Siegfried Klein talks about the paraphernalia used to make hash oil, a cannabis product, during a presentation to Central Emergency Services firefighters Wednesday in Soldotna.

Explosive situation Area firefighters learn about potential danger of hash oil By DAN BALMER Peninsula Clarion

Central Kenai Peninsula firefighters received a crash course on a rising problem seen in Colorado since the legalization of marijuana — butane hash oil explosions. Chief Fire and Explosive Investigator Siegfried Klein with the Aurora, Colorado Fire Department has spent the last few days in Alaska educating first responders on the hazards associated in butane hash oil explosions. On Tuesday Klein was in Anchorage to demonstrate the dangers of hash oil explosions to firefighters with a simulation at the Fire Training Center. He warned firefighters at the Central Emergency Services Office of Emergency Management Wednesday on

CES firefighter Dan Jensen and others listen to a presentation on fires caused during the process of making hash oil, a form of cannabis, and how to fight them.

what could occur in the area if Ballot Measure 2 passes on Nov. 4. If the marijuana initiative passed, Alaska would be the third state behind Washing-

ton and Colorado to legalize recreational marijuana use for adults 21 years old and above. The language in the initiative is similar to the Colorado law passed in 2012 that took effect

in January. Since marijuana was legalized in Colorado, firefighters across the state have seen 26 explosions resulting in 27 injuries from home production of butane hash oil. Klein said all of the hash oil explosions happen at marijuana grow houses and most have occurred in the Aurora area, a suburb outside of Denver. Hash oil is made by dissolving marijuana leaves in butane, then cooking it to extract oil and resin, which has a high concentration of THC, the active chemical component in marijuana. Since butane is easily combustible and the process involves heat and alcohol, the explosion risk is high, he said. Klein said as a fire investigator with 21 years of experiSee FIRE, page A-10

One constant focus of the Kenai Peninsula Borough administration has been how departments can be more cost efficient in their daily operations. Last week, the borough released an efficiencies report from fiscal year 2014 that lists 32 department strategies that have saved an estimated $327,500 in operational costs. Borough Chief of Staff Paul Ostrander said the idea of developing cost effective strategies within 11 borough departments had been talked about for the last couple years but it wasn’t until September when the list was compiled and the savings were added up. “The culture in the borough is really positive as a result of really solid management,” Ostrander said. “The efficiencies document is an impressive list that looks at ways we can do things better.” The capital projects department put forth several ideas. The department started mandatory re-inspection of recently installed roofs ahead of the two-year workmanship warranty expiration. In one case the proactive step saved the borough more than $500,000. The idea of inspecting roof work before the warranty expiration was brought forth by project manager David May and helps identify if there are any issues that a roofing manufacturer would correct at no cost to the borough.

Board begins budget process with questions By KELLY SULLIVAN Peninsula Clarion

The Kenai Peninsula Borough Board of Education is building its 2016 fiscal year budget without knowing what funding is coming from the state and Kenai Peninsula Borough just yet. The school board had their second meeting for budget de-

velopment Tuesday. Site councils from Anchor Point, Kalifornsky Beach, Nikiski, Kenai, Soldotna, Seldovia and Tyonek responded to the school board’s request for reviewing what areas of spending the individual schools can reduce. No response came from Seward or Homer schools, said Superintendent Steve Atwa-

ter. The school board will follow up with the schools they haven’t received input from, said Assistant Superintendent Dave Jones. The board is looking into its spending plan a little early this year, Atwater said. “We have to,” said school board president Joe Arness. “We know we are going to be in a hole next year. We just don’t

know how deep.” Arness said the budget process begins even before teacher contracts are signed in early spring, so the board knows roughly how many employees the district can keep on the payroll. Staff salaries make up 82 percent of the budget, he said. The school board has agreed to build a budget for the 2016 fiscal year going off of what

they know right now, Arness said. That isn’t much, but that is common for this time of year, he said. School board member Dan Castimore expressed his frustrations about the process. “There is no point (in starting the budget process) because everything is an exercise in futility at this point anyway,” See SCHOOL, page A-10

Young apologizes Focus on village mental health, for suicide remark public safety at conference By BECKY BOHRER Associated Press

JUNEAU — U.S. Rep. Don Young has apologized after telling students at a high school where a child recently committed suicide that people kill themselves when there’s a lack of support from family and friends. During an appearance in front of about 120 students and adults Tuesday in Wasilla, a teacher asked Young about Alaska’s high suicide and domestic violence rates.

“He was talking about the role alcohol plays, and he mentioned depression,” Wasilla High School principal Amy Spargo said. “But he also went on to say that suicide happens when there’s a lack of support from friends and family, and that’s when the students in the room and the adults just took offense — because it’s like blaming the people who are left.” She said after that, the event started to become more confrontational.

ANCHORAGE — Just a few years ago, Julie RobertsHyslop’s nephew was “a normal guy.” Then, in May, he shot two Alaska State Troopers at point-blank range at her mother’s Tanana home. The tragedy shook the community of about 300, Roberts-Hyslop said during a panel discussion at the joint

Alaska Federation of Natives and National Conference of American Indians conference in Anchorage on Wednesday, and paints a bleak portrait of the state of mental health care and substance abuse in rural villages. The discussion included representatives of the federal government. Twenty-year-old Nathanial Kangas, who shot and killed the troopers, is a product of a broken system, said Roberts-Hyslop, vice presi-

dent of Tanana Chiefs Conference. Voice wavering with emotion, she stood before the panel and said she feels “lost” in the aftermath of the trooper shootings and the heart-wrenching testimony of young people at the First Alaskans Institute’s Youth and Elders Conference earlier this week. “I stand before you pleading for help,” she said to the panelists, Raina Thiele, White See AFN, page A-10

Ketchikan assembly rejects prayer proposal KETCHIKAN (AP) — The Ketchikan Gateway Borough Assembly has rejected a proposal to begin regular meetings with prayer, following public testimony from both sides of the issue. The proposal failed 5 to 2 Monday, the Ketchikan Daily News reported. Some of those speaking in favor of meeting prayers talked about the long-standing practice of legislative prayers in the nation. Some opponents said they would feel alienated by prayer at meetings and others said such a policy would discourage people from attending. Gary Souza, who heads the Ketchikan Ministerial Association, spoke in favor of the proposal, saying no precedent would be set. The association was one of the drivers of the proposal. One opponent, Donita O’Dell, said she is a Christian who values prayer. But she doesn’t believe religious sides should be taken by government. The assembly also rejected a proposed amendment to put the issue on the 2015 local ballot.

Funeral director sends loved one off with a bang SPRINGFIELD, Mo. (AP) — A Missouri funeral director is sending his father out with a bang. His father’s ashes, anyway. Greenlawn Funeral Homes will hold its first Firework Memorial program on Saturday night, when fireworks packed with James Carver’s cremated remains will be launched skyward as part of his family’s goodbye. Carver’s family is the first to try Greenlawn’s new program. His son is funeral director Jim Carver, who says his father, who died in 2008, loved watching fireworks and would appreciate the unusual send off. The family will follow the eight-minute fireworks display with a cookout and memorial celebration. Some have said, “this is the coolest thing I’ve ever seen,” Carver said, while others think it sounds weird. One other family has purchased a fireworks memorial for the one-year anniversary of a loved one’s death. Greenlawn’s Fireworks Memorials range from a $300 “Sensational Celebration” to the “Ultimate Goodbye,” which costs $8,000 to $10,000, The Springfield News-Leader reported. “We are always looking for something to help families memorialize their lives,” Carver said. “To me, every family is different how they want to recognize their loved one or celebrate their life.” The funeral home is working with Aaron Mayfield, owner of AM Pyrotechnics, a fireworks manufacturing business north of Springfield. He said his company had already created fireworks memorials for some individual clients. The company packs the ashes into a large fireworks aerial shell, and it always treats the remains with respect, he said. “And it explodes with a lot of beauty and covers a lot of the sky, the size of a football field. It spreads the cremated remains into the sky and the particles are taken into the wind,” he said. Missouri allows for the scattering of remains, and since Greenlawn is outside the Springfield city limits, the company can legally set off fireworks. Carver thinks the firework displays will be popular in the summer, when families can hold the events and explode ashes over a lake.

What Others Say

Military key to stopping Ebola President Barack Obama is sending

more than 3,000 active duty troops to West Africa. He signed an executive order authorizing the Pentagon to call up reserves and the National Guard to help fight the Ebola virus. At first glance, this appears to be a head scratcher. How are men and women who carry machine guns supposed to fight a microscopic bug? But this may be one of the smartest actions the federal government has taken. The best way to keep the story of Ebola in the United States to a single incident at a Dallas hospital is to stop the virus at its source. Czars and travel bans will be of little help if the epidemic explodes in Africa. Troopers are not doctors, and they won’t be treating people. Their purpose is to create a health-care infrastructure in three countries that essentially have none. That’s why infections have spread so quickly. The military’s first task is to build a 25-bed field hospital for infected health-care workers. Navy Seabees will also build 17 treatment centers with 100 beds each. Specialists are training local professionals how to handle Ebola patients and testing blood samples to confirm infections. When this crisis began, Liberia’s only lab, housed in a collection of World War II-era buildings, could barely test 40 specimens a day. U.S. workers have upgraded that lab and added three more. Reserves would fill any gaps active-duty personnel cannot in such areas as technical engineering and communications systems, according to USA TODAY. Logisticians, comptrollers and religious specialists may also be needed. Sending in the troops is the humanitarian thing to do and part of our nation long tradition. More than 4,400 people have died already. Children have been orphaned. Without U.S. involvement, it will only get worse. But sending troops is also self-defense. Consider the hysteria in this country after one man died and two nurses who treated him were infected. There is no epidemic in this country, yet politicians and many in the media are acting as if there was. If Ebola were actually to establish a foothold, our economy and lives would come to a standstill. No one wants that. But a czar can’t stop it. Nor can a flight ban. The only way to prevent that is to quell the virus where it began. The U.S. military has a role to play. — Arizona Republic, Oct. 20

Opinion

CLARION P

By GARRY TRUDEAU

The country’s Ebola foolishness

Here’s a concept: Let’s come up with an idea that would make things worse even if it worked, which it wouldn’t. That would describe the proposal to prevent all people coming from the three West African nations devastated by Ebola — Guinea, Sierra Leone and Liberia — from entering the United States. The U.S., it seems, is also ravaged by a growing disproportionate hysteria about Ebola, and most of all by cynical politicians, largely conservatives, who are exploiting the alarm for a chance to score some points against the Democratic president in the days leading up to the election. They’re trying to capitalize on an impression that he is dithering as this killer illness threatens public safety here in the homeland. Now they’ve even been joined by some craven Dems, like North Carolina Sen. Kay Hagan, who is in a close race and has reversed her position that a travel ban would be a bad idea, folding under the pressure of her voters seeking a simple solution to their fears. As I said, it won’t work. Someone who really wants to get to the U.S. easily can exploit porous borders and huge accountability gaps in our travel system. Not only that, but efforts to stop Ebola at its source — which is West Africa — would be stymied because the aid workers sent to the region from this country wouldn’t be allowed to return. Do we make an exception for them, even if they’ve been exposed, as

Letters to the Editor Walker will solve issues vital to Alaska The opposition against Bill Walker for Governor are telling some huge fish stories about him train wrecking the Alaska LNG project to Nikiski. Nothing could be further from the truth. Walker, like a good quarterback, will bring the project to completion. He knows delays and stalls will let the competition steal the game from us. Instate energy, roads to resources, the budget shortfalls, the fishing wars, along with the confusion he had for four years about taking a gas line through Canada, or a LNG project to tide water, shows, Parnell stays in study hall. His not investigating the National Guard scandal for four long years shows his complete inability to act. Above all else, Parnell stays with secrecy behind closed doors. AGDC, Alaska’s Gasline Development Corp., founded by Rep. Chenault is now completely under the Alaska LNG project, complete with an Exxon man on our board. That is the fox guarding the henhouse, and don’t ask any questions, they won’t tell any lies. The vital issues which have not been solved in the last six years, and the Alaska LNG project to Nikiski are far too important to entrust Parnell with. Vote for Bill Walker, and ladies and gentlemen start your engines. Bill Warren Nikiski

Stance on education reason to vote for Begich I had the privilege of attending the debate between our candidates for US Senate yesterday and one question stuck out. “What will you do for education in Alaska?” Senator Begich spoke of successes in adding over $1 billon in early and special education budgets, then went on to talk about pre-K education. Then Dan Sullivan C

some have suggested? Then what would be the point? If we actually did erect such a travel barrier, maybe we should include a blockade of Texas, since all the cases here have erupted in Dallas. Bob Franken And since one of the nurses who caught it subsequently flew Frontier Airlines from Dallas to Cleveland and back, perhaps we should add Ohio. For that matter, maybe we ought to ground Frontier while we’re at it, in spite of its very public sterilization of the affected plane. Frankly, given the airline’s recent pricing policies, charging extra for everything, I’m surprised it hasn’t levied an extra amount on passengers who want to travel in a disinfected seat. Was that a cheap shot? Yes, it was, I’ll admit it, but so is the calculated way that politicians are using their simple-minded scare tactics. Add to this arson the cablenews networks that are fanning the flames in their amoral pursuit of ratings, and people don’t know what to think. So they don’t. There are some things that can be done. First of all, let’s realize that as national dangers go, Ebola is very low on the list. What has so exacerbated the panic is the

began speaking about the importance of parents educating their children, which really was a great answer. It is critical for us parents to teach our children. Many of life’s lessons do not belong in a classroom. But when you are running for public office you need to look at how you can use that power to improve the system and in that context the answer was clear. Begich will stand up for education and help us reach kids, Dan Sullivan will do nothing. I searched for Sullivan’s stand on education and couldn’t find a single mention of education on his website. Ontheissues.org had no information about what he would do for our students. It makes me wonder why it refuses to talk about his plan for or future, or does he have a plan? Early voting has already opened and I encourage everyone to go vote. It’s quick and easy before Election Day. You can go to your local city hall or the Risk Management portable on Park Street across from the Borough Building. There has been so much money and mud-slinging this election. We need to make sure Alaskans decide this election. David Brighton Kenai

Potential for marijuana edibles a danger for kids With Halloween coming on, and the November election just days away, it is a good time to consider the dangers that will be presented by marijuana edibles should ballot measure 2 succeed. Today, marijuana edibles have come a long way from the homemade brownies of the 1960s. Edibles have become commercialized and are being manufactured as lollipops, gummy bears, candy bars, fudge and any number of other child attracting forms in addition to the more familiar cookies and brownies. If ballot measure 2 passes, marijuana edibles will present a real and present danger to Alaskans. Shops all over Colorado are luring customers with marijuana laced confections, and in more than a few cases consumers

ridiculously inept public-communications effort from our medical leaders. Each time their reflexive assurances that this is no big deal prove to be false, they end up scaring the daylights out of everyone. Maybe the first thing they should do is to really know what they’re doing. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention certainly has not inspired a lot of confidence, and the performance of Dallas Presbyterian Hospital has been so embarrassing that the owners have done what all big corporations do when their failures become public: They hire a PR firm to come in and try to do damage control on their image. Barack Obama could use a little help with that himself. After critics charged him with floundering around still again, the president took decisive action: He appointed a “czar” to take decisive actions for him against Ebola. Ron Klain, his choice, is absolutely qualified to take this on, most importantly to assure a freaked-out nation. His No. 1 attribute is that he’s not a doctor. The doctors are the experts, but they have their hands full correcting various mistakes and reining in their hubris. Ron Klain has experience with a ton of that at the highest levels of government, and can finesse the politicians who are our biggest danger. Bob Franken is a longtime broadcast journalist, including 20 years at CNN.

have had bad reactions to the products. Earlier this summer, a Wyoming college student unfamiliar with the use of cannabis was tempted to buy a cookie which packaging said contained 6 1/2 “portions.” When the recommended 1/6 of the cookie failed to illicit the desired effect, he ate the rest of the treat, and not long after had a psychotic reaction. He began to wreck the hotel room, then to the horror of his companions who were unable to control him, he leapt to his death from a 4th floor balcony to the lobby floor of a Denver hotel. While this was the most dramatic case of marijuana poisoning since recreational marijuana was legalized in Colorado earlier this year, it is not the only one. Colorado’s poison centers have reported a significant increase in calls for assistance related to cannabis poisonings, and even veterinarians are reporting an uptick in deadly pet poisonings due to marijuana edibles. Most troubling are reports from Colorado Children’s Hospital in Denver which reports that in the first 7 months of this year they received 13 children, most aged 3 and under, who were suffering from marijuana poisoning. That is up from 8 marijuana edible exposed children in all of 2013. Of the 13 children admitted for marijuana toxicity since recreational cannabis was legalized in Colorado this year, seven became critically ill from edible marijuana and required intensive care. Two of these children were so critical that they required the insertion of a breathing tube. Additional children have become ill from marijuana but did not need hospitalization at Colorado Children’s Hospital. When you watch your kids dig into that Halloween candy this year, think about how hard it would be to keep them away from the marijuana laced versions of their favorite treats. Kids don’t read packaging and don’t understand that poor judgment or carelessness can have deadly consequences. Do what you can to protect Alaska’s children. Please vote no on Ballot Measure 2!

2 dead in shooting attack at Canada’s Parliament By JEREMY HAINSWORTH and ROB GILLIES Associated Press

OTTAWA, Ontario — A Canadian soldier standing guard at a war memorial in the country’s capital was shot to death Wednesday, and heavy gunfire then erupted inside Parliament. One gunman was killed, and police said they were hunting for as many as two others. The attack immediately raised the specter of terrorism, with Canada already on alert because of a deadly hit-andrun earlier in the week against two Canadian soldiers by a man who police say was fired up with radical Muslim fervor. Witnesses said the soldier was gunned down at pointblank range just before 10 a.m. by a man carrying a rifle and dressed all in black, a scarf over his face. They said the gunman then ran off and entered Parliament, a few hundred yards away, where numerous shots soon rang out. People fled the complex by scrambling down scaffolding erected for renovations, while others took cover inside and barricaded doors with chairs as police with rifles and body armor took up positions outside and cordoned off the normally bustling streets around Parliament. Police gave no details on how the gunman died. But on Twitter, Member of Parliament Craig Scott credited Parliament sergeant-at-arms Kevin Vickers with shooting the attacker just outside the MPs’ caucus rooms. “Today is a sad and tragic day for our city and our country,” Ottawa Mayor Jim Watson said. He said it was a tragedy with “origins as yet not fully known, causes not yet fully un-

derstood.” Ottawa police spokesman Chuck Benoit said two or three gunmen were believed to be involved in the attacks. Gilles Michaud, assistant commissioner of the Royal Canadian Mounted Police, called it a “dynamic, unfolding situation.” The identity of the slain gunman was not immediately released, and police would not speculate on a motive for the shootings. Ottawa Hospital said it received two patients, both listed in stable condition, in addition to the soldier. In Washington, President Barack Obama condemned the shootings as “outrageous,” and in a telephone call with the prime minister, offered U.S. help and reassurance of the American people’s solidarity with Canada. The U.S. Embassy in Ottawa was locked down as a precaution, and security was tightened at the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier at Arlington National Cemetery just outside Washington. Tony Zobl said he witnessed the soldier being gunned down from his fourth-floor window directly above the National War Memorial, a 70-foot, arched granite cenotaph, or tomb, with bronze sculptures commemorating World War I. “I looked out the window and saw a shooter, a man dressed all in black with a kerchief over his nose and mouth and something over his head as well, holding a rifle and shooting an honor guard in front of the cenotaph pointblank, twice,” Zobl told the Canadian Press news agency. “The honor guard dropped to the ground, and the shooter

A Royal Canadian Mounted Police intervention team walks past a gate on Parliament hill in Ottawa Wednesday. A soldier standing guard at the National War Memorial has been shot by an unknown gunman and there have been reports of gunfire inside the halls of Parliament. Emergency responders are still on the scene as paramedics performed CPR on the soldier before he was taken away by ambulance.

kind of raised his arms in triumph holding the rifle.” Zobl said the gunman then ran up the street toward Parliament Hill. Cabinet minister Tony Clement tweeted that at least 30 shots were heard inside Parliament, where Conservative and Liberal MPs were holding their weekly caucus meetings.

“I’m safe locked in a office awaiting security,” Kyle Seeback, another member of Parliament, tweeted. The top spokesman for Prime Minister Stephen Harper said Harper was safe and had left Parliament Hill. “I was just taking off my jacket to go into caucus. I hear this pop, pop, pop. Possibly

10 shots, don’t really know. Thought it was dynamite or construction rather than anything else,” said John McKay, a member of Parliament. He said security guards then came rushing down the halls, herding them toward the back of the buildings. “And then we started talking to another woman and she was

apparently inside the library of Parliament, saw the fellow, wearing a hoodie, carrying a gun,” McKay said, “and then the implications of this start to sink in.” Officials canceled two events in Toronto honoring Pakistani teenager and Nobel laureate Malala Yousafzai, including one in which she was supposed to receive honorary Canadian citizenship. She was shot in the head by a Taliban gunman in 2012 for supporting schooling for girls. The attack came two days after a recent convert to Islam killed one Canadian soldier and injured another with his car before being shot to death by police. The killer had been on the radar of federal investigators, who feared he had jihadist ambitions and seized his passport when he tried to travel to Turkey. Canada had raised its domestic terror threat level from low to medium Tuesday because of what it called “an increase in general chatter from radical Islamist organizations.” In the hours after Wednesday’s attack, police warned people in downtown Ottawa to stay away from windows and rooftops. Scott Walsh, a construction worker who was in a manhole in front of Parliament Hill, said he heard the shots at the war memorial. “We’re in construction and we’re used to loud bangs. When people started screaming and running, that’s when I clued, and I saw this guy running” with a gun, he said. “It was intense. I didn’t think it was real.” He said the gunman had long black hair with a scarf covering the lower half of his face.

Care questioned in 15 New York’s Rikers Island jail deaths

K By JAKE PEARSON Associated Press

NEW YORK — These are the deaths in New York City’s Rikers Island jail that don’t make headlines — prisoners with diseases, disorders and addictions who succumb to heart attacks, infections and other causes officially filed away as “medical.” But hundreds of documents obtained by The Associated Press through public records requests raise serious questions about the quality and timeliness of the medical care many of these inmates received, with the treatment, or lack of it, cited as a factor in at least 15 deaths over the past five years. They include: — A 36-year-old man with a severe seizure disorder who died two days after he was placed in solitary confinement and denied his medication. Witnesses said they heard him screaming for his medication. — A 59-year-old drug addict who wasn’t properly assessed for a common side effect of methadone — constipation — and died of complications from an infected bowel. — A 32-year-old man who died of a bacterial infection in his stomach and intestines after days of bloody stools. He received treatment only after fellow inmates staged a protest. — A 20-year-old man who died after an artery in his heart ruptured. A fellow inmate said that he heard the man complain countless times over two days of chest pains and difficulty breathing. Such accounts have prompted city officials to re-examine the quality of medical and mental health care in the city’s 11,000-inmate jail system and whether the outside company that holds a three-year, $126.6 million contract to provide treatment, Corizon Health Inc., should essentially be fired. Experts say the problems documented by the AP are particularly troubling because New York City is better equipped to deal with inmate health needs than perhaps anywhere else, with 1,180 health workers employed by Corizon and the city, a mandatory doctor’s visit within the first 24 hours of custody, 30 on-

island clinics that handled more than 112,000 sick-call visits last year, and access to some of the nation’s finest hospitals, which saw more than 3,700 inmate referrals last year. In New York and in most other lockups across the nation, experts say there are many obstacles to delivering quality care, most significantly the flood of mostly poor inmates who come through the door with various maladies and addictions that have gone untreated for years. Other factors: Policies entitling inmates to only “minimum standards” of care, often less than what is provided in the outside world; pressure to keep costs down; and guards who can be cynical and dismissive of inmate complaints. “Everywhere you look at the system, it’s structured to prevent prisoners from getting the health care they need,” said Brad Brockmann, who heads the Center for Prisoner Health and Human Rights at Brown University. Rikers, the huge jail complex on an island in the East River, has come under increased scru-

tiny this year after the AP detailed the deaths of two mentally ill inmates — one who was left unattended in a 101-degree cell and another who sexually mutilated himself while locked up alone for seven days. Since then, reporters, lawmakers and federal prosecutors have investigated the city’s jails, particularly the system’s problems in dealing with violence and growing numbers of mentally ill, who now make up 40 percent of the inmate population. Mayor Bill de Blasio’s administration has quietly begun discussions about alternatives to Brentwood, Tennessee-based Corizon, the nation’s biggest provider of health care behind bars, according to two city officials. Those plans could include replacing Corizon entirely with city-run health care services, or hiring a teaching hospital to run the system and provide a steady stream of young, committed doctors, according to the officials, who spoke on condition of anonymity because they weren’t permitted to discuss the plans. In a statement, de Blasio

spokeswoman Marti Adams said only that the administration has begun a “comprehensive review” of Corizon. Experts say the teaching or nonprofit hospital model, used previously in New York City and currently in states such as Texas and Connecticut, can bring higher standards of inmate care than for-profit health providers. “In New York City, these are large organizations which have greater public support and the ability to recruit qualified and enthusiastic staff,” said Dr. Bobby Cohen, a member of the watchdog agency charged with overseeing city jails. He helped run jail health in the 1980s when it was overseen by Montefiore Medical Center, a hospital in the Bronx. But experts say running jail health services around the clock is extremely complicated and costly, and not all teaching and nonprofit hospitals are accustomed to the tough and sometimes dangerous world of corrections. A contract evaluation obtained by the AP shows city officials downgraded Corizon’s

performance from “good” in 2012 to “fair” in 2013, citing inconsistent leadership and care in several mental observation units. Corizon spokeswoman Susan Morgenstern wouldn’t discuss individual cases or the potential loss of the city contract but said in a statement that the company tries to provide quality treatment in a difficult environment, and “we regrettably sometimes face adverse outcomes despite our best efforts.” The city’s health department said in a statement that the Corizon contract provides no financial incentive to skimp on care — the city pays for medications, lab testing and hospitalizations. A spokesman for Correction Commissioner Joseph Ponte said Ponte has already made improvements to how guards and health workers deal with each other “to ensure inmates have access to care that is both timely and effective.” Of the 98 inmates to die in New York City jails over the past five years, at least a dozen had cancer and many more were suffering from health problems

related to longtime drug or alcohol use. Fifteen had AIDS, HIV or hepatitis C. The AP was able to obtain city and state investigative records on 44 of the 98 deaths. A review of those documents found 15 cases of neither homicide nor suicide in which the quality or timeliness of the health care was an issue. That played out tragically in the May 2013 death of Mark Johnson. Johnson, 32, died of a painful bacterial infection in his stomach and small bowel while jailed in a Rikers mental observation unit. For days, he demanded medical care from jail guards as he continued to suffer from bloody stools. It wasn’t until inmates in the housing area staged a protest — refusing to go for a meal until Johnson was attended to — that doctors came. Johnson underwent emergency surgery but died soon after, his stomach full of pus. In its preliminary investigation, the department found no negligence on its own part and said Johnson had a pre-existing condition that caused his death.

Around the World New plan will monitor all Americans, visitors coming into US from 3 Ebola nations

By IAN DEITCH Associated Press

ATLANTA — All travelers who come into the U.S. from three Ebola-stricken West African nations will now be monitored for three weeks, the latest step by federal officials to keep the disease from spreading into the country. Starting Monday, anyone traveling from Guinea, Liberia and Sierra Leone will have to report in with health officials daily and take their temperature twice a day. The measure applies not only to visitors from those countries but also returning American aid workers, federal health employees and journalists. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention announced the new step Wednesday. CDC Director Tom Frieden said monitoring will provide an extra level of safety, on top of the temperature checks and screening that passengers undergo before they leave West Africa and again when they arrive in the United States. “We have to keep our guard up,” Frieden told reporters on a conference call.

JERUSALEM — Attackers inside Egypt fired an anti-tank missile and automatic rifles at a military vehicle in Israel on Wednesday, wounding two soldiers in a rare cross-border incident, the military said. The attack occurred in southern Negev Desert and the soldiers were evacuated to a hospital in Israel, it added. An Egyptian security official suggested the gunfire came from smugglers who were clashing with Egyptian troops at the time along the border with Israel. The frontier between Israel and Egypt is normally quiet. The two countries signed a peace accord 35 years ago and have close

Ballot initiative to raise California’s medical malpractice cap generates big spending SACRAMENTO, Calif. — Bob Pack wanted to go after the HMO doctors for recklessly prescribing painkillers to a drug-abusing nanny who ran over his 10-year-old son and 7-year-old daughter as they were heading for ice cream one early fall evening in 2003. But under California’s 1970s-era medical malpractice law there was a $250,000 cap on pain and suffering. Instead of pursuing a case because of the cap, he settled so he could care for his wife, who lost the twins she was carrying in the crash. “It would have been too difficult to tackle a private trial,” he said. A November ballot initiative named after his children — Troy and Alana — seeks to raise the cap to $1.1 million. The campaign has prompted a ferocious fight between doctors and attorneys over the rights of injured patients with more than $102 million spent in one of the state’s most expensive ballot initiatives. The campaign, which exceeds the most competitive U.S. Senate races this year, underscores the effect that reforms passed in California have on the rest of the nation. The 1975 malpractice law was the first in the nation, paved the way for roughly 30 states to adopt some limits on medical malpractice payouts and used as a template for national proposals.

Tiny bump for Social Security benefits for a third straight year; they’re rising 1.7 percent WASHINGTON — Come January, nearly 60 million Social Security recipients will get benefit increases averaging $20 a month, the third straight year of historically small pay hikes. The 1.7 percent cost-of-living adjustment, or COLA, will also boost government benefits for millions of disabled veterans, federal retirees and people drawing disability payments for the poor. Year after year of tiny increases are weighing on many older Americans. “What is it going to cover? Not even the cost of one medicine,” said Louis Grosso, a 66-year-old retired doctor who lives in Philadelphia. “Do you know how much my cholesterol medicine is?” The government announced the benefit increase Wednesday when it released the latest measure of consumer prices. By law, the increase is based on inflation, which has been below historical averages so far this year.

Not so scary: New bones show mysterious dinosaur was a goofy duckbill giant WASHINGTON — Nearly 50 years ago, scientists found bones of two large, powerful dinosaur arms in Mongolia and figured they had discovered a fearsome critter with killer claws. Now scientists have found the rest of the dinosaur and have new descriptions for it: goofy and weird. The beast probably lumbered along on two legs like a cross between TV dinosaur Barney and Jar Jar Binks of Star Wars fame. It was 16 feet tall and 36 feet long, weighing seven tons, with a duckbill on its head and a hump-like sail on its back. Throw in those killer claws, tufts of feathers here and there, and no teeth — and try not to snicker. And if that’s not enough, it ate like a giant vacuum cleaner. That’s Deinocheirus mirificus (DY’-noh’-KY-ruhs murIHF’-ee-kuhs), which means “terrible hands that look peculiar.” It is newly reimagined after a full skeleton was found in Mongolia and described in a paper released Wednesday by the journal Nature. Some 70 million years old, it’s an ancestral relative of the modern ostrich and belongs to the dinosaur family often called ostrich dinosaurs. — The Associated Press

security cooperation. No one immediately claimed responsibility for Wednesday’s attack but Islamic militants in Egypt’s lawless Sinai Peninsula have attempted to carry out attacks against Israel in recent years. In September 2012, an Israeli soldier was killed in a similar shooting. A year earlier, a series of coordinated attacks killed seven Israelis. Al-Qaida-linked militants in Sinai have also carried out deadly attacks against the Egyptian military, which has been trying to crack down on their activity in the desert. The Israeli military said it has no indication yet who was behind the attack. It said that it dispatched troops to the area to make sure that no infiltration into its territory took place. In

the meantime, it asked residents in the area to remain in their homes. It later said after an investigation that troops had foiled a “violent drug smuggling attempt” and that the soldiers came under attack from three different points including from a car driving near the border. It said the soldiers returned fire, killing at least three of the attackers. Israeli media said the two — a female officer and a male soldier — were moderately wounded. The Egyptian security official said the attack on the Israeli convoy came during an exchange of fire between Egyptian troops engaging smugglers in the area while an Israeli convoy was driving by.

The official said the Egyptian troops fired at the smugglers approaching the border and suggested the fire on the Israeli troops came from the smugglers. The area is known to be an operation area for smugglers, but not considered an area where militants have access, he added. Security and medical officials said after Egyptian forces combed the area following the exchange of fire, they retrieved three bodies, and two seriously injured. One of the dead is a Bedouin, identified as a 31year old from a local tribe, the Tarabeen. The Egyptian officials spoke on condition of anonymity because they were not authorized to speak to reporters.

Tribe’s court orders candidate off ballot By FELICIA FONSECA Associated Press

FLAGSTAFF, Ariz — A candidate for tribal president on the nation’s largest Indian reservation lost another round in a language fluency dispute Wednesday, all but ending his bid for office. The Navajo Nation’s highest court dismissed an appeal from Chris Deschene, making a disqualification order from a lower court final and enforceable. The lower court had disqualified Deschene from seeking the tribe’s top elected post after he declined to demonstrate whether he is fluent in Navajo. Tribal law requires its presidential candidates to be fluent in the language, a defining part of Navajo culture. Despite the long odds, Deschene said he is holding out hope that election officials and tribal lawmakers will provide a way for him to remain on the ballot. “Certainly the campaign is committed to moving forward,” his spokeswoman Stacy Pearson said.

It wasn’t immediately clear where the decision leaves the presidential election. The disqualification order requires that election officials move up the third-place finisher from the primary election. However, absentee ballots giving voters a choice between Deschene and former President Joe Shirley Jr. already have gone out, and early voting is under way. Levon Henry, an attorney for the Tribal Council and election officials, has said the Nov. 4 election likely will be postponed. The Navajo Board of Election Supervisors is scheduled to meet about it Thursday. Meanwhile, the Navajo Nation Council has a bill on its agenda this week to make voters the sole decision-makers when it comes to determining a presidential candidate’s fluency. Henry did not immediately return a message Wednesday seeking comment on whether tribal lawmakers can undo a Supreme Court action. The high court did not rule on the merits of Deschene’s appeal. Instead, the justices dis-

missed it over lack of jurisdiction because Deschene did not include a copy of his disqualification order with his notice of appeal. They ruled out any possibility to have the appeal reconsidered. “Any litigant who is serious about his case will ensure that all of the court’s jurisdictional requirements are satisfied,” the justices wrote. Justin Jones, an attorney for one of the men who challenged Deschene, said Deschene confused voters by not admitting that he couldn’t speak fluent Navajo. “There’s nothing wrong with that,” Jones said. “A lot of people don’t know how to speak their own language, but there’s a law that you have to comply with.” Deschene has said he is proficient in the language. Deschene came in second to Shirley in the August primary, but his campaign was overshadowed by questions regarding his fluency in Navajo. According to the U.S. Census Bureau, more people speak

Navajo than any other single American Indian language. More than half of the Navajo Nation’s members speak the language. Deschene refused to take a fluency test developed by the personnel in the tribe’s education department. He also declined to answer questions in a deposition or as a witness in the case against him. He said it was not right that he be singled out and tested on his language ability. Richie Nez of the tribe’s Office of Hearings and Appeals said he had no choice but to disqualify Deschene after he failed to prove he could speak fluent Navajo. Nez earlier dismissed the challenges as untimely. But the Supreme Court remanded the case to him after ruling that Nez must decide the challenges on the merits. It said the tribe’s language was too important to disregard as a qualification for the presidency. The language is the foundation of Navajo culture and traditions, said to have been handed down by deities.

9 UNC employees fired or disciplined in scandal By AARON BEARD and EMERY P. DALESIO Associated Press

CHAPEL HILL, N.C. — More than 3,100 students — nearly half of them athletes — enrolled in classes they didn’t have to show up for and received artificially inflated grades in what an investigator called a “shadow curriculum” that lasted nearly two decades at the University of North Carolina. The report released Wednesday by former high-ranking U.S. Justice Department official Kenneth Wainstein found more far-reaching academic fraud than previous investigations by the school and the NCAA. Many at the university hoped Wainstein’s investigation would bring some closure to the longrunning scandal, which is rooted in an NCAA investigation focused on improper benefits within the football program in 2010. Instead, findings of a systemic problem in the former African and Afro-American

Studies department could lead to NCAA sanctions. At least nine university employees were fired or have had disciplinary procedures started against them in light of the report, chancellor Carol Folt said. She wouldn’t identify them. “I think it’s very clear that this is an academic, an athletic and a university problem,” Folt said. The report outlined courses in the former African and AfroAmerican Studies department that required only a research paper that was often scanned quickly and given an A or B regardless of the quality of work. The NCAA hit the football program in 2012 with scholarship reductions and a postseason ban, though the academic violations focused mainly on a tutor providing improper help to players on papers. The NCAA said it reopened its investigation in June because new information was available. Wainstein’s staff has briefed NCAA investigators at least

three times, and plans another meeting on the final report. The report outlined how the fraud ran unchecked for so long, as well as how faculty and administration officials missed or looked past red flags, such as unusually high numbers of independent study course enrollments. It said athletics staffers steered athletes to classes that also became popular with fraternities and other everyday students looking for an easy grade. “By the mid-2000s, these classes had become a primary — if not the primary — way that struggling athletes kept themselves from having eligibility problems,” the report said. The school hired Wainstein in February. Unlike previous inquiries by former Gov. Jim Martin and the school, Wainstein had the cooperation of former department chairman Julius Nyang’oro and retired

office administrator Deborah Crowder — the two people at the center of the scandal. Nyang’oro was indicted in December on a felony fraud charge, though it was dropped after he agreed to cooperate with Wainstein’s probe. Crowder was never charged. It was Crowder who started the paper classes as a way to help struggling students with “watered-down requirements” not long after Nyang’oro became chairman of the curriculum in 1992, according to the report. Though not a faculty member, she managed the courses by registering students, assigning them topics and then handing out high grades regardless of the work. By 1999, in an apparent effort to work around the number of independent studies students could take, Crowder began offering lecture classes that didn’t meet and were instead paper classes.

UNC investigated for years of academic fraud AARON BEARD Associated Press

CHAPEL HILL, N.C. (AP) — A scandal involving bogus classes and inflated grades at the University of North Carolina was bigger than previously reported, encompassing about 1,500 athletes who got easy A’s and B’s over a span of nearly two decades, according to an investigation released Wednesday. At least nine university employees were fired or under disciplinary review, and the question now becomes what, if anything, the NCAA will do next. Penalties could range from fewer scholarships to vacated wins. Most of the athletes were football players or members of the school’s cherished basketball program, which won three of its five national titles during the scandal (1993, 2005, 2009). Athletic director Bubba Cunningham wouldn’t speculate on any possible sanctions. “We’ll work with the NCAA and work through the report with them

as part of our ongoing investigation,” Cunningham said. “That’s going to take some time.” In all, about 3,100 students enrolled in classes they didn’t have to show up for in what was deemed a “shadow curriculum” within the former African and Afro-American Studies (AFAM) department from 1993 to 2011, the report by former U.S. Justice Department official Kenneth Wainstein found. Many at the university hoped Wainstein’s eight-month investigation would bring some closure. Instead, it found more academic fraud than previous investigations by the NCAA and the school. The UNC case stands out among academic scandals at Harvard, Duke and the Naval Academy, said Howard Gardner, a professor at Harvard’s Graduate School of Education who studies cheating. “I think the existence of fake classes and automatic grades — you might say an athlete track, where essentially you might as well not have the univer-

sity at all — I think that’s pretty extreme. I hope it’s pretty extreme,” he said. The scandal reached back to the final years of legendary men’s basketball coach Dean Smith’s tenure, as well as Mack Brown’s time as football coach before leaving for Texas and John Swofford’s stint as athletic director before becoming Atlantic Coast Conference commissioner. The NCAA reopened its probe over the summer. Cunningham said the school had no immediate plans to impose its own penalties as it did during an NCAA investigation into the football program that began in 2010. The school and the NCAA said in a joint statement they would review Wainstein’s report “under the same standards that are applied in all NCAA infractions cases.” They declined to comment on possible rules violations. The focus was courses that required only a research paper that was often scanned quickly by a secretary, who gave out high grades regardless of the quality of work. The report also

outlined how counselors for athletes steered struggling students to the classes, with two counselors even suggesting grades. Several knew the courses were easy and didn’t have an instructor. Chancellor Carol Folt wouldn’t identify the terminated employees or those facing disciplinary review. “I think it’s very clear that this is an academic, an athletic and a university problem,” Folt said. Wainstein’s report said it found no evidence of similar problems in other departments. In addition, Hall of Fame men’s basketball coach Roy Williams and other current coaches said they were aware there were independent study courses offering easy grades, but they didn’t know the classes were fake. Wainstein said he found no reason not to believe them. Faculty and administration officials missed or looked past red flags, such as unusually high numbers of independent study course enrollments in the department, the report said.

“By the mid-2000s, these classes had become a primary — if not the primary — way that struggling athletes kept themselves from having eligibility problems,” the report said. Unlike previous inquiries by former Gov. Jim Martin and the school, Wainstein had the cooperation of former department chairman Julius Nyang’oro and retired office administrator Deborah Crowder — the two people at the center of the scandal. Nyang’oro was indicted in December on a felony fraud charge, though it was dropped after he agreed to cooperate with Wainstein’s probe. Crowder was never charged. It was Crowder who started the paper classes to help struggling students with “watered-down requirements” not long after Nyang’oro became chairman in 1992, according to the report. Though not a faculty member, she registered students for the courses, assigned topics and handed out high grades regardless of the work and also signed Nyang’oro’s name to grade rolls.

Perry’s hat trick propels Ducks The Associated Press

ANAHEIM, Calif. (AP) — Corey Perry’s fast start has mirrored that of the Anaheim Ducks, and Frederik Andersen’s stingy goaltending has been equally beneficial. Perry had his second hat trick of the season and the twotime defending Pacific Division champions beat the Buffalo Sabres 4-1 on Wednesday night for their sixth straight victory. The 2011 MVP and threetime All-Star has eight goals in his first seven games — including three in the Ducks’ opening-night loss at Pittsburgh. When Perry scored a careerhigh 50 goals four seasons ago, he didn’t get his eighth until his 19th game. “Things are going well and the whole team has been playing well. It’s not just me,” Perry said. “Good things are happening. I’m shooting the puck and it’s going in.” Perry completed his seventh career hat trick with 1:25 left, scoring into an empty net after beating Michal Neuvirth on a one-timer from the high slot with 2:43 remaining. “Corey is one of the best scorers in the game. And when you have that touch, the puck follows you,” Ducks coach Bruce Boudreau said. “When you’re a natural goal-scorer like he is, the puck tends to find your stick and good things happen.” Ryan Kesler also scored for the Ducks and Andersen made 22 saves, losing a bid for his second consecutive shutout when Tyler Ellis scored off a rebound with 5:04 to play. That ended Buffalo’s scoreless streak at 192 minutes, following a 1-0 loss to Florida and 3-0 loss to Boston. “Any time you go to the opposition’s rink and their goaltender is one of the stars, you know you played well,” Sabres coach Ted Nolan said. “We had our chances, we just didn’t bury them. And we didn’t bury them

for a reason. Their goaltender made some good saves.” Andersen, who beat St. Louis 3-0 on Sunday night for his first NHL shutout, has been in net for each of the six wins. He has stopped 154 of 162 shots after John Gibson lost the opener in his hometown of Pittsburgh. Last season, the Ducks won seven straight after a seasonopening loss at Colorado. FLYERS 5, PENGUINS 3 PITTSBURGH (AP) — R.J. Umberger and Matt Read scored 2 minutes apart in the third period to lift Philadelphia past Pittsburgh. Umberger, a Pittsburgh native, beat Marc-Andre Fleury 6:50 into the third to break a tie and Read followed with a backhander to help the Flyers improve to 12-2-1 at Consol Energy Center since the arena opened in 2010. Sean Couturier had a goal and an assist, Mark Streit and PierreEdouard Bellemare also scored for the Flyers, and Ray Emery stopped 21 shots. Nick Spaling had a goal and an assist for Pittsburgh, Pascal Dupuis and Marcel Goc also scored, and Marc-Andre Fleury made 28 saves. Though the game featured two U.S. teams, the sell-out crowd sang “O Canada” before the opening faceoff as a tribute to a Canadian soldier killed in attack in Ottawa on Wednesday.

John Carlson and Mike Green scored for Washington. The Capitals dropped to 3-1-2. Twenty seconds after Green gave the Capitals a 2-1 lead early in the second period, NugentHopkins countered for the Oilers. Nikitin put Edmonton ahead on a power play with 3:52 left in the second.

The Kansas City Royals celebrate after Game 2 of baseball’s World Series against the San Francisco Giants Wednesday in Kansas City, Mo. The Royals won 7-2 to tie the series at 1-1.

Royals even series with Giants Kansas City surges to 7-2 win with 5-run spurt in 6th inning DAVE SKRETTA AP Sports Writer

KANSAS CITY, Mo. (AP) — Salvador Perez shouted at Hunter Strickland, who shouted right back. The Kansas City Royals streamed from their dugout, the San Francisco Giants from their own. And for a tense moment in the sixth inning Wednesday night, Kauffman Stadium was consumed by chaos. The one thing that was clear? The World Series suddenly had some life. Perez broke open Game 2 with a two-run double in a five-run sixth, and the Roy-

als’ cast of clutch relievers kept the Giants in check for a 7-2 victory that evened the Series and spiced things up as it shifts to San Francisco for three games. “We showed them that we have fight in us, and I think they knew that already,” said Billy Butler, whose RBI single in the sixth inning gave the Royals a 3-2 lead. “But we stepped up big there as a team, and that gave us some confidence.” Jeremy Guthrie will be on the mound Friday night for the Royals, who had won eight straight playoff games before a 7-1 loss in the opener.

Tim Hudson will start for San Francisco. “With their pitching and our pitching, and the way both teams play, we’re going to have a fight, I think, every game,” Giants manager Bruce Bochy said. So much talk of fighting after the two teams nearly came to blows Wednesday. The Royals had surged ahead on Butler’s single when Perez followed with a double off Strickland into the leftfield gap. Omar Infante then scorched a pitch into the bullpen in left, the fifth homer that Strickland had allowed to 23 postseason batters.

Boiling over with anger, Strickland yelled into his glove then got into a shouting match with Perez as the big, burly catcher headed for home. Players spilled out of both dugouts, and several Royals streamed in from the outfield bullpen before the umpires finally restored order. “He started to look at me, so I asked him like, ‘Hey, why you look at me?’” Perez said. “So he was telling me, ‘Get out of here, whatever.’ So I don’t know. ‘You don’t have to treat me like that. Look at Omar. Omar hit a bomb. I didn’t hit a bomb. I hit a double.’” See EVEN, page A-8

Lincecum returns to mound, but leaves with injury and questions RONALD BLUM AP Sports Writer

KANSAS CITY, Mo. (AP) — Banished to the bullpen and absent from the mound since the regular season, Tim Lincecum returned Wednesday night with the Giants trailing the Royals by five runs in the seventh inning. And then he got hurt. After retiring five straight batters during San Francisco’s 7-2 loss in Game 2 of the World Series, Lincecum left in the middle of Salvador Perez’s eighth-inning at-bat due to tightness in his lower left back. “We’re just going to treat it, see how it feels tomorrow,” Lincecum said. “But right now it feels pretty stiff.” The two-time NL Cy Young Award winner went 2-0 as the Giants beat Texas in the 2010 Series for their first title since 1954. Sent to the bullpen, he pitched 4 2-3 scoreless innings in 2012 during San Francisco’s sweep of

Detroit. Lincecum pitched his second career no-hitter against San Diego on June 25 but struggled after the All-Star break and was dropped from the rotation in late August. He hadn’t pitched at all since the regular-season finale on Sept. 28. On Tuesday, he missed pregame introductions before opener, failing to line up with his teammates on the third-base side of the field because he was in the clubhouse vomiting. “My trainer, Dave Groeschner, he said he got sick about a half-hour before the game and he was throwing up,” Giants manager Bruce Bochy said. “He rebounded very well. He was OK to pitch.” Bochy wasn’t sure whether the issue was caused by food. “I don’t know if he knows,” he said. “He was down in the bullpen, I think, the second inning.” Lincecum wasn’t certain whether he would be available for Game 3 on

Friday night. Before the injury, he was happy with his outing. He struck out Eric Hosmer and Josh Willingham. “It felt good just to get out there,” Lincecum said. Despite the loss, the Giants felt good about the split in Kansas City. “Taking one of two games here is always a good thing,” Lincecum said, “especially against these guys in this kind of atmosphere.”

Butler continues trend of Royals sluggers KANSAS CITY, Mo. (AP) — A big-and-burly thumper still has a place on these flash-and-dash Kansas City Royals, it seems. Especially if he can deliver clutch hits in the World Series, the way Billy Butler did Wednesday night. Butler stroked a hard, RBI single in the first inning that his team desperately needed, then lined a loud, tiebreaking single in the sixth to send the C

Royals past the San Francisco Giants 7-2, evening the Series at one game apiece. “I felt like definitely it was a mustwin for us,” said Butler, likely to be on the bench when the Series shifts to San Francisco for the next three games. “We felt like with our big sixth inning there, we took a little momentum out of how they were playing.” They were by far the biggest hits in Butler’s career, and came after a most trying season. As the Royals relied more and more on their fleet of speedsters down the stretch, the designated hitter with the nickname “Country Breakfast” — he’s conservatively listed around 240 pounds — seemed to fall out of favor with manager Ned Yost. Many local fans wondered whether Butler fit in with how the streaking Royals played the game. Kansas City led the majors in stolen bases, and Butler even lost some at-bats to Josh

Willingham and others in the final weeks. Butler finished the season at .271 with just nine home runs and 66 RBIs, a far cry from his All-Star slugging in 2012 A huge disappointment, too, for someone who was drafted in the first round by the Royals in 2004 and always hoped to play meaningful games for them. “There’s always times when, the organization, we’re losing 90 games at a time, and it always feels like we’re developing players. But you just continue to grind and continue to do your job,” Butler said. Yost stuck with the DH going into the postseason, hoping he would regain his stroke. Butler did pull a surprise during his first trip to the playoffs, stealing a base for the first time since 2012. Butler got one of the Royals’ four hits in a 7-1 loss to the Giants in the Series opener, putting his postseason batting average at .233.

Strickland said he simply let his frustration get to him. “I let the team down,” he said. “My emotions got to me.” With his 100 mph fastball singeing the Giants’ batters, Royals flamethrower Yordano Ventura allowed two runs while pitching into the sixth inning. The 23-year-old protege of Pedro Martinez hardly looked like the first rookie to make a World Series start for the Royals, calmly handling a lineup that had ravaged staff ace James Shields. The dynamic trio of Kelvin Herrera, Wade Davis and Greg Holland did the rest. Herrera got the final two outs of the sixth to escape a jam, his first three pitches clocking at least 100 mph. He also survived a shaky seventh before Davis breezed through the eighth. Greg Holland, who saved each game in the Royals’ sweep of Baltimore in the AL Championship Series, allowed a twoout single to Brandon Crawford before fanning Gregor Blanco to end the game. The Giants’ only runs came on a homer by Blanco and a double by Brandon Belt, their streak of seven straight World Series wins ending on a crisp, breezy night. “For us to leave here with a split, you like to get greedy,” Bochy said, “but we know it’s going to be a tough series.” Early on, it looked as if the Giants could have a big lead heading back to the Bay Area. The fleet-footed Blanco silenced a rollicking sea of blue, becoming the 10th player to open a World Series game with a home run. He deposited Ventura’s 98 mph fastball in the bullpen in right field, just his 17th home run in more than 2,300 at-bats.

Lions, Falcons set for overseas battle CHRIS LEHOURITES AP Sports Writer

BAGSHOT, England (AP) — Heading into this weekend’s game, the Detroit Lions have the No. 1 defense in the NFL. Make that the world. Already overseas and practicing, the Lions (5-2) will face the Atlanta Falcons (2-5) on Sunday in the second of three regular-season games this year at Wembley Stadium in London. “We’re not afraid to go anywhere, any place and go out there and play and execute what we need to get done,” Lions defensive lineman Ndamukong Suh said Wednesday. “It comes from our coach. The attitude that he brings with us, understanding that it doesn’t make a difference whether we’re in London, or at home, or have to go to Atlanta.” Detroit leads the league in total defense, ranking second in stopping the rush and seventh in pass defense. The Lions arrived in London on Tuesday, a day after the Falcons landed in Britain and two days after Detroit’s come-frombehind 24-23 win over the New Orleans Saints. Sunday’s game is a first for

Week 8: Are the Seahawks in real trouble? By NOLAN ROSE For the Peninsula Clarion

That was an interesting week wasn’t it? More interesting than you’d like it to be if you’re a Seahawks fan. Raise your hand if you saw the Percy Harvin trade coming. Granted Seattle was struggling offensively, but typically teams don’t trade their most dynamic player to get better on offense! What followed was exactly what an NFL fan would expect, the unexpected. Russell Wilson became the first player in NFL history to throw for over 300 yards and rush for over 100, leading the Seahawks to 26 points in St. Louis. Of course, that wasn’t enough as the usually stalwart Seahawks defense and special teams completely collapsed allowing an anemic Rams team to post 28 points of their own. Week seven in the NFL has left me in a perpetual state of confusion. The Prince of Pick’em entered last week with a sparkling 53-37-1 mark. The carnage of week eight produced a 7-8 record moving our season total to 60-45-1 against the spread. We can only hope for better results in the future. After all it’s not like we’re predicting the SoHi Stars are going to win a state championship. That would be easy. San Diego Chargers @ DENVER BRONCOS -8 All bow before the great Manning! For he is King of football! Peyton threw his zillionth touchdown pass last week to break Brett Favre’s NFL record. Now his eminence will host AFC West rival San Diego in a key divisional clash. Lord Manning’s counterpart Philip Rivers is no slouch himself, but the Chargers roster has been decimated by injuries. Denver’s furious march towards another postseason collapse continues in grand style. Broncos win 34-19

ATLANTA FALCONS vs. Detroit Lions -4 The Falcons and Lions travel across the pond for another NFL showcase in London, England. Ever wonder why the NFL continually sends a matchup to England that nobody in America would watch? Is the league pandering to its American audience by ridding the conti-

nent of such a snooze fest? If I was commissioner I would have the Cleveland Browns, Jacksonville Jaguars, Oakland Raiders, and Tennessee Titans continually play each other in a round robin tournament to determine which team “wins” the honor of being the worst ever. Londoners would have a field day gambling on all the prop bets and Americans wouldn’t be subjected to watching these teams play anymore. It’s a win-win for everybody. Lions win 19-16

ST. LOUIS RAMS @ Kansas City Chiefs -7 The St. Louis Rams are the best 2-4 team in the NFL. Really! St. Louis is fierce. My beloved Seattle Seahawks shouldn’t be embarrassed at all by losing to the Rams last Sunday. The Rams are good. I’m going to just keep telling myself that. Kansas City tallied a huge victory last week in San Diego to stay alive in the AFC West. This is a ripe spot for a letdown but facing an in-state opponent should be enough to hold the Chiefs attention. Chiefs win 24-20

HOUSTON TEXANS @ Tennessee Titans +2.5 How pissed is J.J. Watt? The Texans star defender is having a season for the ages and his offense refuses to win football games. No matter how well Watt plays, no matter how many sacks, huge hits, pass deflections, or touchdowns, the Houston Texans will find a way to lose. Nerd quarterback and beard aficionado Ryan Fitzpatrick consistently stinks, and the rare moment when Fitzpatrick does complete a pass to his own team the receiver fumbles it away. Last week the Texans led 13-0 with just over three minutes remaining in the first half against the Steelers. The Steelers held a 24-13 advantage at halftime. That’s impossible. Somehow, despite all that, Tennessee is so awful the Texans are still the play this week. Texans win 20-10

MINNESOTA VIKINGS @ Tampa Bay Bucs -3 The 2-5 Vikings travel to Tampa to face the 1-5 Buccaneers. Is it too late to send this game to London? Better yet is Pakistan a willing host? Mars? I’m not a soccer guy but the NFL could really learn something from the other futbol leagues. In the EPL, if a team is so terrible year after year they actually get demoted to a lesser league. Is it too late to exchange the

Bucs for the Florida State Seminoles? Vikings win 27-20

their quota for the 2014 season. Dolphins win 30-14

SEATTLE SEAHAWKS @ Carolina Panthers +5.5

CHICAGO BEARS @ New England Patriots -6

The defending Super Bowl Champion Seahawks have their backs against the wall at 3-3 when they head to Carolina to face the equally average 3-3-1 Panthers. It’s been a long time since a Seahawks team faced this much media scrutiny. Reports surfaced this week that there are some black members of the team that don’t think Russell Wilson is “black enough”. What the hell does that even mean?! Supposedly his lack of “blackness” is creating a rift in the locker room. It’s all over the internet, Google it. Personally, I think a pissed-off Seahawks team rallies around its quarterback and blows the doors off the Carolina Panthers. This is the lock of the week. Seahawks win 30-13

Some things you just can’t explain. Chicago can’t win a home game. The Bears have been outscored by an average of 12.3 points per game at home. That mark flips to plus 5.75 in away games. At 3-4 the Bears badly need a win to stay close to Detroit and Green Bay in the NFC North. The 5-2 Patriots have sufficiently recovered from a slow start to the year. With a huge game looming against the Denver Broncos the following week where will the Patriots focus lie? New England gets the victory but not without a nervous moment or two late. Patriots win 30-27

Baltimore Ravens @ CINCINNATI BENGALS +1 The Cincinnati Bengals started the year brilliantly with three consecutive victories, including a 23-16 win in Baltimore. Since that point the Bengals bombed in Boston, posted a rare tie at home against the Carolina Panthers, and were crushed 27-0 last week in Indianapolis. Cincinnati went from Super Bowl contender to also-ran in under a month. In the same time span quarterback Andy Dalton went from capable game manager to the pariah of Cincinnati. Fortunes change quickly in the NFL. Things can’t get much worse at this point, which means this is a great spot to back the Bengals. Bengals win 21-20

MIAMI DOLPHINS @ Jacksonville Jaguars +6 The Miami Dolphins are a hot side. The Fighting Tuna gave the Green Bay Packers all they could handle two weeks ago. In fact, Miami had the game in hand until Aaron Rodgers remembered that he’s Aaron Rodgers and promptly won the game for the Packers. The Dolphins backed up that impressive showing with a resounding victory over the Chicago Bears last week. Miami’s quarterback Ryan Tannehill is showing signs of competence which should be enough against a helpless Jacksonville Jaguars team. The Jags posted their first victory last week against the Cleveland Browns meeting

Buffalo Bills @ NEW YORK JETS -3 Rex Ryan and crew finally get their second victory of the season when the New York Jets host their in-state rival the Buffalo Bills. The Jets will debut the newly acquired Percy Harvin after receiving the playmaker from the Seattle Seahawks in a shocking mid-season trade. To that I say good riddance! Harvin is a team chemistry killer. Everything will be rosy for Rex and the boys this week but an already toxic Jets locker room is adding a poisonous ingredient. This won’t end well. Jets win 26-21

PHILADELPHIA EAGLES @ Arizona Cardinals -2.5 Arizona sits at a tidy 5-1, good enough to top the challenging NFC West division, but the road to hoe is about to get tougher. The Desert Bats next two opponents have a combined 11-2 record! The Philadelphia Eagles visit Phoenix this Sunday before the team travels to Dallas for a matchup with the surprisingly strong Cowboys. Eagles quarterback Nick Foles has found his groove in recent weeks along with a rediscovered rushing attack led by LeSean McCoy, but Philadelphia’s defense will be the difference in this contest. Arizona’s Carson Palmer has limited the turnovers this season, but Palmer’s career penchant for throwing the ball to the other team will resurface in this affair. Eagles win 30-17

OAKLAND RAIDERS @ Cleveland Browns -7 Is this the week we start hearing

chants for Johnny Football in Cleveland, Ohio? Just a few days ago the then 3-2 Browns were heading to Jacksonville to face the winless Jaguars. With games against the Raiders and Tampa Bay Bucs following that contest Cleveland fans held hopes of reaching 6-2. Not so fast! The Browns were sent crashing back down to earth in an unsettling 24-6 debacle in Jacksonville. Brian Hoyer only completed 16 of 41 pass attempts. Ouch. Now the Browns confront the prospect of losing to the only remaining winless club this week, the Oakland Raiders. Two losses in a row against winless opponents would be a very Browns thing to do. Raiders win 19-17

INDIANAPOLIS COLTS @ Pittsburgh Steelers +3.5 Lost in all the Andrew Luck hysteria has been the excellent play of the Indianapolis Colts defense. That defense will carry the day against an aging Steelers team. Pittsburgh has always been associated with dominant play at linebacker. Outside of Lawrence Timmons can you even name a linebacker on the team? You probably never heard of Timmons! The Colts are going to put points on the boards. Expecting the Steelers to match them against the underrated Colts defenders is a tall task. Colts win 31-20

GREEN BAY PACKERS @ New Orleans Saints even Aaron Rodgers is on a roll. The star passer has thrown 13 touchdowns without a turnover during the Packers current four-game winning streak. There’s no reason to expect Rodgers roll to slow when Green Bay visits the bayou this weekend to face the New Orleans Saints. The Saints can’t stop anyone from scoring points. Drew Brees can match Rodgers throw for throw but the veteran has shown a trend of poorly timed interceptions. Saints turnovers will be the deciding factor. Packers win 38-30

Washington Redskins @ DALLAS COWBOYS -10 The Pre-Columbus Americans were already without Robert Griffin. Then the team benched ineffective backup Kirk Cousins last week looking to journeyman Colt McCoy for hope. We all know how this story ends. Dallas takes a scalp in emphatic fashion. Cowboys win 40-17

The first step is to secure electricity, turn off the gas meter, and ventilate the structure to let gas out. Then treat any patients and extinguish the fire. Once the fire is out firefighters are told not to touch extraction devices and call the arson investigator. CES paramedic Reed Quinton said Klein’s presentation was informative because it is nothing that the department has come across. “It’s important to know what to look for in case we do experience this because it’s an additional hazard for us if we are not aware,” he said. CES Fire Chief Chris Mokracek said butane hash oil explosions are something he hadn’t been familiar with and by hearing from an investigator that has first-hand knowledge of the potential hazards would help them be proactive if marijuana is legalized in Alaska. “I was surprised how simple it is to make with household items,” he said. “The process is dangerous and he gave us some things to be aware and conscious so we can make sure nobody gets hurt.”

“Last year we did it (made cuts) so ethically and effectively,” Hilts said. “It still didn’t have a good effect.” Atwater said last year’s budget process was frustrating when the Kenai Peninsula Borough did not fund to the cap. “We showed the borough we tightened our belt and hoped the borough would spend more money,” Atwater said. In January the school board will also be entering negotiations with the Kenai Peninsula Education Association, which represents the certified teach-

ers in the district, Jones said. The board will also be meeting with the Kenai Peninsula Education Support Association, which represents support staff, he said. Negotiations are scheduled every three years, but it adds another question mark to the annual mix this year, Arness said. It is too early to tell, not only what funding will come from the borough, but also what will be coming from the state, Arness said. There isn’t a sense among the board members yet if there will be staffing cuts

again, he said. The question Arness posed to the board was whether or not they wanted to wait to create the budget until funding was announced from the state and borough, or move forward and start looking at the room for changes that can be made right now. “We can take our best guess at what we think it is going to cost us,” Arness said.

proactive steps to extend the life of the roof, an estimated $40,000 in savings. Lyon said May is a roofing architect and one of the best that has ever worked for the borough. The capital project manager Robin Davis suggested the use of interns to complete building surveys instead of using contractors or staff, which not only frees up more time for project managers and is estimated to save $130,000 in labor costs. Lyon said with five people in his department responsible for 38 buildings within the borough, they found that college students studying engineering could gain valuable skills and work as interns. When the Homer landfill closed last year they needed someone to do a checklist report and found a civil engineering student capable for the job, which saved time to allow project managers to focus on other jobs and save money from the job being contracted out. Last April, the borough

clerk’s office made the switch to iPads for assembly members to share information instead of assembly packets, which is estimated to reduce paper cost and staff labor by $14,000 annually, said Borough Clerk Johni Blankenship. Ostrander reduced travel costs by having administrators sign up for an Alaska Airlines VISA credit card and accumulate miles and offset future staff travel costs. By using the card as opposed to the previous method of submitting paid invoices, the borough estimated would accrue an excess of 1 million miles yearly, a savings of $30,000. Fire Chief Chris Mokracek with Central Emergency Services changed personnel annual leave policy during the month of October based on seniority so no more than two personnel could request simultaneous leave, which is expected to save approximately $20,000 in overtime costs for back-filling shift schedules. Patti Hartley with the borough Planning department sug-

gested sending “camera ready” ads and notices for newspaper publication, which drops advertisement costs from $60,000 to $25,000 annually. Ostrander said he hopes the efficiencies report would help generate additional ideas. Kenai Peninsula Borough Mayor Mike Navarre said the report is an example of how department directors continue to improve how local government operates and streamline processes for better time management. Human Resources Director Stormy Brown started a process evaluation of administrators, which helped identify their goals and objectives, Navarre said. “All departments accomplish their goals and work toward an eye to improve the way we deliver services and government at the local level,” he said. “A lot of borough employees have already implemented these ideas.”

including Murkowski’s staffer Megan Alvanna-Stimpfle, a King Island Iñupiat from Nome. “It’s a difficult reality that we live with,” she said. “If we can take a minute and pray for the community of Tanana.” The room fell silent before one man led the rest in prayer. After the day-long meeting, Roberts-Hyslop said she addressed the panel because she’s “tired of being quiet about behavioral health.” “A lot of it goes right back to the substance abuse,” she said. “We can help a lot of things, but we can’t help mental illness. We need professional doctors.” Tanana Chiefs Conference receives $4 million each year from the federal government for behavioral health care for all of the 39 villages it covers, Roberts-Hyslop said. “We need to have more funding,” she said. “How much is it costing the state to incarcerate them, when we can be helping them at an earlier age to lead normal lives. It has to happen for the Alaska Natives.” During the panel discussion, Lenora Hootch, former director of the Emmonak Women’s Shelter, thanked Roberts-Hyslop for her words and wondered why things haven’t gotten better for Native villages.

“Our people continue to live in peril,” Hootch said, citing the high rate of domestic violence and sexual assault in Alaska. “We’ve been hearing that (statistic) for 30, 40 years. Why is that?” She lamented that federal money for tribes is funneled through the state first and “a lot doesn’t go to the tribes.” “We continue to lack law enforcement in our state,” Hootch said, and many of the officers villages do have “... are untrained.” “There’s a high rate of homicide, there are a lot of murders going on in our villages,” she said. “They’re not getting properly prosecuted.” Lack of law enforcement is a big problem, but it isn’t the only one, Hootch said. She spoke out against the way bodies are sent back to villages after being autopsied in Anchorage. “We just lost a young man who committed suicide,” she said. “When they get sent home, they are sent home in cardboard boxes (with the bodies wrapped in thick plastic). They are brought to the home naked ... Is that how they are supposed to send our loved ones home after they’ve taken them to Anchorage for autopsy? That is injustice, that’s inhuman, and that needs to change.”

Koch brothers among donors to Sullivan JUNEAU (AP) — Industrialist billionaires Charles and David Koch donated to Republican Dan Sullivan’s U.S. Senate campaign during the last fundraising quarter. Other members of the Koch family also contributed, with money going to help pay off primary debt and the general election. Throughout the campaign, Democrats have sought to tie Sullivan to the Koch brothers; their images appear in at least one anti-Sullivan ad from Democratic Sen. Mark Begich. Americans for Prosperity, which is backed by the brothers, is among the groups opposing Begich. Sullivan’s fundraising report appeared on the Federal Election Commission website Wednesday. Other donors included Republican mega-donor Sheldon Adelson and former President George W. Bush and his wife, Laura, also prior donors.

Local flautist Tomoko Raften performing at Christ Lutheran of Soldotna, Thursday Oct. 17, 2014, in Soldotna, Alaska.

By KELLY SULLIVAN Peninsula Clarion

A duo of Kenai Peninsula locals, flautist Tomoko Raften and pianist Maria Allison, pieced together an electric performance inside the Christ Lutheran Church of Soldotna’s chancel Thursday evening. During the rise and fall of the movements, sampled from

pieces by John Sebastian Bach, Sergei Prokoiev and Claude Debussy the church pews, packed with an attentive audience, were silent. Raften and Allison are members of the Kenai Peninsula Orchestra. Allison has been performing around the peninsula since her arrival in 1979. The late evening Flute and Piano Recital was free to the public, with requested donation to the church. Six pieces filled

the span of two hours, separated by a short intermission where attendees mingled and chatted with friends and family. Following the intermission, Raften performed a mournful, mellow solo piece. Her head bobbed and cut forward as she accentuated the high staccato notes, and rolled and swayed when extending whole notes. Raften’s concentration was unrelenting during her performance. The clicking high-

pitched whir of cameras, the whispers of audience members and late comers entering through the open door didn’t result in The pair thanked the full house for coming to watch, and Raften exited the room with a wide grin, her floor length purple gown flowing behind her.

The fantastic creatures of the alphabet Bookworm Sez The nights are getting longer. Dark falls much earlier these days; there are more shadows and more things hiding in corners, beneath, and behind. More beasts to scare you. More creatures to catch you. You can probably name a few of them but do you know what, exactly, lurks where you’re not expecting it? Read “M is for Monster” by J. Patrick Lewis, illustrated by Gerald Kelley (c.2014, Sleeping Bear Press, $16.99, 32 pages) and find out … if you dare! A is at the top of the alphabet, so maybe it’s right that we start at the top of the world where A is for Amarok. It’s a fierce wolflike creature that’s almost as big as a man and that hides in the forest. The Inuit fear the Amarok — and you should, too. “Almost every culture has its own favorite dragon,” says J. Patrick Lewis, so that’s what D stands for: dragons. Most of them breathe fire and they make excellent guards for your castle. Some are tamed, but there’s no word on housebreaking issues. If you live in a big city, you might be familiar with Gargoyles, which is the G word here. Originally meant to help keep buildings See SEZ, page B-2

NBC promoting Weir, Lipinski to top skating team NEW YORK (AP) — NBC’s top pairs figure skating couple is in place: Tara Lipinski and Johnny Weir. After attracting attention for their rapport and fashion sense in an understudy role at the Sochi Olympics, Lipinski and Weir were promoted by NBC on Wednesday to its top figure skating broadcast team. With figure skating the marquee sport during the Winter Games, the promotion will make the former Olympians two of TV’s most visible personalities in 2018 in South Korea. They’ll team with play-byplay announcer Terry Gannon, starting their new role Sunday during NBC’s telecast of the Skate America competition.

safe from rainwater, there’s an interesting (and frightening) myth that goes along with them. No wonder the stone beasts are so scary! Is it a bird? Is it a snake? It’s both, because Q is for Quetzalcoatl, a creature that appears to be many parts, including a bit of human. He’s huge and he’s terrifying, but he’s not such a bad guy underneath: the Aztecs thought he invented books and calendars and that he brought corn, so they worshipped him. U is for unicorn, a creature that’s hardly a monster. Legend has it that the shy, gentle horse-with-a-horn can cleanse water and heal injuries, and it’s attracted by purity and innocence. In truth, however, the creatures have never been seen — although several kinds of animals could really fool you. And then we end at the end with Z for zombies. Yes, the Undead are shocking — maybe because they’re portrayed as a sign of the end of the world!

“Give us one minute or an hour, we are going to be up,” Weir said. “That is all we can be is up.” They replace Scott Hamilton, Sandra Bezic and Tom Hammond, who were NBC’s lead figure skating announcers at four Olympics starting in 2002. Hamilton, a 1984 gold medalist who called three other Winter Olympics for CBS, will remain as a special contributor to NBC at big figure skating events, including in South Korea. Hammond will work as a track and field announcer at the 2016 Rio Games. “We absolutely cherish this opportunity to bring figure skating to people,” said Weir, a three-time U.S. champion.

“When we talk it is more like a conversation between us and the audience.” Weir and Lipinski, the 1998 Olympic gold medalist at age 15, became an instant sensation in Sochi last winter, when they called live daytime broadcasts with Gannon on NBC Sports’ cable network. Many viewers tuned in particularly to see what outrageous outfit Weir would be wearing. Hamilton, Bezic and Hammond handled the tape-delayed prime-time telecast on NBC. “We take skating very seriously,” Lipinski said, “but at same time you really want to be real about what the sport is. If you call it as you see it, I think that is what the audience likes, and Johnny and I have to keep on that path.” Looking for a great book for After the Olympics, Weir and sleepovers and campfires this Lipinski contributed to fashfall? “M is for Monster” fits ion coverage at the Academy that fine, but beware of who you’re scaring… You probably wouldn’t think, for example, that an alphabet book is for older kids but this one definitely is.

Awards and Kentucky Derby. “Any additional events are just icing on the cake,” Lipinski said. Asked about their announcing influences, Lipinski mentioned Hamilton and Dick Button, while weir joked “100 percent Kim Kardashian.” Then he spoke about Button, and about how listening to Verne Lundquist call the 1994 Games helped inspire him as a skater. Jim Bell, the network’s executive producer for the Olympics, said Hamilton will still have a major role. “I think that given the amount of coverage we do not just of competition but the way the entire company gets behind the Olympics,” Bell said, “there is no shortage of need for someone who has experience and stature to talk about the sport. We will be able to keep Scott very busy.”

for. It is enough to see a tank running over someone without having to see the body actually burst apart, and when Norman is asked to clean up a recognizable scrap of someone’s face, I was pulled out of the movie while I considered the makeup and special effects departments of the production. I have no doubt that those things are accurate — I have never been in a war and hope to keep it that way, but often times these bloody depictions on-screen end up being more reminiscent of a horror movie, and thereby lose their true impact. I was particularly impressed with the performances in the film. Brad Pitt is one of his generation’s best actors, but his weakest characters are those like Collier, soldiers, gruff and grim. Here, though, he manages to make Sgt. Collier a completely rounded individual, flashes of weakness coming through the ram-rod straight tank commander demeanor. In the end, I would

have preferred even more of the mania and frailty than we get, but Pitt still does a good job with a stock character. The linch pin of the group, however, is Norman, wellplayed by Logan Lerman. Lerman, better known for his “Percy Jackson” movies, does a great job of giving us that traditional war movie trope of the boy becoming a man, but does one better as his character seems to be aware of the cliché and is disgusted by it. Michael Peña and Jon Bernthal are both very good as the rough and ready driver and mechanic, both characters who would likely be derelicts in real life, but thrive in conditions of war. Most surprising, however, is Shia LeBeouf as Bible, another gunner and defacto Second-in-Command of the tank. LeBeouf has become a bit of a joke of late as his off-screen antics have further and further alienated him from mainstream Hollywood, but here he turns in

a subtle, measured, and emotional performance. In many of his scenes, those big, cartoon eyes of his are half-filled with tears, but rather than come off schmaltzy, the actor maintains a quiet dignity. I enjoyed “Fury,” though like some of the grimmest of war films, it’s hard to watch at times. It doesn’t really break new ground, and though the perspective of the tank crew was interesting, it never really feels completely unique. Breaking new ground, though, isn’t always what you want, and director Ayer and his cast put forth a solid effort and deliver a very well-made glimpse into a part of the war that isn’t often seen. Grade: B+ “Fury” is rated R for gruesome, bloody violence and pervasive language. Chris Jenness is a freelance graphic designer, artist and movie buff who lives in Nikiski.

Search for husband stumbles over scars on woman’s legs her son told me so. My dog died this week and I really want one of the puppies. I can’t afford to buy one at $300. Does the family of the father of the pups have any rights? — MISSING MY DOGGIE DEAR MISSING YOUR DOGGIE: Pets are supposed to be spayed or neuAbigail Van Buren tered to prevent this sort of thing from happening. I’m sorry for the loss of your beloved dog. If the pregnancy was unplanned, the owner of the female is not obligated to provide a puppy or compensation to the owner of the male. Perhaps out of compassion your neighbor will relent and give one to you.

kiss on the lips, he gave me a kiss on the head and a peck, akin to what you’d see between close friends. He says the human mouth has many germs in it. Abby, I dream of being kissed. I know the possibility of it happening during my marriage is close to nil. What can I do? I am well-groomed and practice good oral hygiene. — DOING WITHOUT SOMETHING NICE IN WASHINGTON DEAR DOING WITHOUT: It has been 15 years since you have been kissed and you’re writing me about it only NOW? Was your courtship this way, too? Relationships wither without affection. Your husband appears to either be germ phobic or passive aggressive. Unless he is willing to talk to a counselor about it, nothing will change. I hope he’ll do it before you meet someone else under the mistletoe or at the stroke of midnight.

DEAR ABBY: I have been married for more than 15 years to a man who refuses to kiss me. We kissed DEAR ABBY: My dog got my neighbor’s dog briefly on our wedding day (long enough to take a phopregnant, and my neighbor kept it secret so she can sell to) and have not done so since then.

Hints from Heloise

Jacqueline Bigar’s Stars

Rubes

HHHH You might be overwhelmed by everything you have to accomplish. You could start acting like a chicken with its head cut off. Sometimes, you simply can’t get through all your to-dos — not because of you, but because of unexpected requests. Tonight: Know when to call it a night. CANCER (June 21-July 22) HHHHH You’ll benefit from the intensity of today’s Solar Eclipse. You could see a personal situation much differently from how you normally do. It would be smart not to continue as you have, and not to make any big announcements today. Tonight: Add some spice to a relationship. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) HHH Stay anchored, and try not to allow a loved one’s uproar to get the best of you. You might have been considering a change on the homefront, and today’s events might point to taking action. Play the waiting game for now; you won’t want to act just yet. Tonight: Mosey on home. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) HHHHYou’ll be sure of yourself when presenting an issue or describing what you feel. However, in a week or so, you could have a totally different outlook. Take your time when making an important decision, and let go of thinking about this issue today. Tonight: Hang out. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) HHHH Note what is going on with your finances, and also be aware of the costs of any commitments you might make right now. Do some price comparisons, and shop around. Know what you expect from a loved one. Tonight: Try not to overindulge.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) HHHHBespontaneouswhenpursuing your own ideas. However, try not to do anything overly offensive to a loved one, or you could have quite a situation to deal with. A new beginning is possible for you, especially if you express your caring. Tonight: Just be yourself. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) HHYou might feel unusually drained, or perhaps you’re making too much out of a comment or suggestion. You often inspire others with your ideas. Today, allow someone close to give you some feedback. Tonight: Vanish while you can. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) HHHH You might feel as if you can’t turn a situation around, no matter what you do. Perhaps taking a step back might be the best move. Others will bring you an offer in the near future that you can’t say seem to say “no” to. Tonight: A friend might play a strong role in your plans. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) HHHH You could be a lot happier than you realize about a change with work or with a different situation where you take the lead. Recognize when you have had enough. Know that you don’t need to make an immediate decision about someone new. Tonight: A must appearance. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) HHHHH You might be stunned by what you hear, and also by what comes out. Do not make this information out to be bigger than it really is. You might feel like you have some assessing and thinking to do. Worry less, and go with the flow. Tonight: Let someone entertain you.

A sign of the sale Dear Heloise: I always feel sorry for the people who put up garage- or estatesale SIGNS that are unreadable from passing cars. Here are some hints: * Never use a yellow marker on white poster board. It may look cheery, but it looks like a pale mist as you drive by. * Use a light-colored board and black, dark blue, red or green for the lettering. * Make the letters at least 1/2 inch wide and at least 2 inches high. * Keep information at a minimum. For instance, first line stating “GARAGE SALE,” second line “(ADDRESS),” third line “(TIME).” * Draw an arrow pointing in the right direction, if space allows. * Finally, drive by your sign at 30 mph to see if you can read it. — Sandy S., via email This is what I call a “test drive-by” so you can see what a potential customer can or cannot see! Final hint from Heloise: Take down the signs when the sale is over! — Heloise Hot-tub hints Dear Heloise: As we get into colder months or, as my family calls it, “hottub season,” here are my hot-tub hints: First, cover the hot tub (Heloise here: If it’s outside, or if you do not drain it after each use) when not in use. Second, teach kids while young to flip on their back and call for help if they’re ever trapped in water — this includes hot tubs! Hope this helps people have a safer hot-tub season! — Chris G. in Texas Thanks for the reminders. Children NEVER should be in a hot tub/spa/ pool alone or without constant adult supervision! It takes only a few seconds for a tragedy to happen.

SUDOKU

By Tom Wilson

By Dave Green

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

A baby born today has a Sun in Libra if born before 7:57 a.m. (PDT). Afterward, it will be in Scorpio. The Moon is in Libra until 5:10 p.m. (PDT). Afterward, it will be in Scorpio. HAPPY BIRTHDAY for Thursday, Oct. 23, 2014: This year might be far more exciting than you anticipate. Your popularity soars and points to many new options, both socially and professionally. You seem to have everything mostly under control. You might want to stay open to different work opportunities. If you are single, a potential suitor could reveal his or her controlling ways. Do not engage in a power play. If you are attached, be willing to juggle different responsibilities and remain sensitive to your sweetie. Try not to be too me-oriented. SCORPIO can keep a secret, no matter what. 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 sense a difference from the past few days. You are focused and intense, and you know what you want. Greet today’s Solar Eclipse without rigidity. You will be a lot happier as a result. A partner or associate can’t seem to get enough of you. Tonight: Try a different suggestion. TAURUS (April 20-May 20) HHHYour ability to flex will be tested in the next few weeks. As you go through this period, many of you might be asked to break your usual patterns. Be gracious and give it shot. You’ll see how a newfound easiness could help you. Tonight: Respond to someone’s offer. GEMINI (May 21-June 20)

DEAR ABBY: I am a 21-year-old woman from the Philippines. I have been insecure all my life. I know I have a pretty face, but I have a lot of scars on my legs from childhood. Because of this I am depressed, unhappy and insecure. I never wear shorts, skirts or dresses that show my legs. Do you think there is some guy somewhere who will love me despite my scars? I’m well aware that guys like sexy ladies with flawless skin. I hate the way my legs look, and I doubt I will ever find a husband. Please help me. — INSECURE LADY DEAR INSECURE: Please quit putting yourself down. Sometimes we women can be our most severe critics. If you stop looking for reasons men won’t like you and start concentrating on why they WILL, you may have better luck. Men like women who are fun to be around, who are kind, intelligent, honest and who don’t play games. A man who would reject you because of scars on your legs isn’t a person you need for a lasting, meaningful relationship.
