Heat lamp starts fire in chicken coop A structure used as a chicken coop caught fire in Sterling Tuesday night after a heating lamp was knocked over, according to a Central Emergency Services media release. Firefighters from Station 3 arrived 10 minutes after the call came in at about 9:50 p.m. to Andrus Lane off Mile 79 of the Sterling Highway. The fire was put out in 10 minutes, according to the release. Nobody was injured in the fire, but several chickens inside did not survive, said CES Health and Safety Officer Brad Nelson. The cabin, originally built as a residence, was valued at $10,000 with an estimated $1,000 worth of damage, Nelson said. Nelson said the heating lamp most likely caused the fire after it was knocked over and ignited wood shavings and other combustible materials. “The owner of the building called 911 quick and we were able to save the structure,” Nelson said. “It was cooking in there and smoke was showing from the rear, but crews were able to put it out quick.” Nelson said ironically calls of fires to chicken coops are not uncommon to CES. “We respond to probably one or two a year,” he said.

The City of Kenai will open its bay doors to the new city shop for the public to see this Saturday. The 18,000-square-foot maintenance facility that cost $4.3 million from state capital grants and general fund reserves was substantially completed last month, said Kenai City Manager Rich Koch. The city shop, located at 550 Daubenspeck Circle off of Marathon Road, will be open for a public open house from noon to 3 p.m. Saturday. Hamburgers, hot dogs and beverages will be provided. City employees will offer a tour of the building and the large heavy equipment that can fit inside.

For the first time since the hunt for the missing Kenai family of four began, no policecoordinated ground search took place Wednesday. After five days, the specialized canine scent detection team brought in from out of state concluded their search efforts with no success. An aerial search around the missing family’s apartment on California Avenue did not reveal their location, according to a press release from the Kenai Police Department Wednesday. Kenai Police Chief Gus Sandahl said the missing persons case remains the highest priority of his department. He said officers continue to work diligently with agents from the Anchorage office of the Federal Bureau of Investigation. Sandahl said the investigation has not revealed if Brandon Jividen, 37, or Rebecca Adams, 22, may have had access to alternative transportation. The black Chevy Colorado pickup owned by Jividen was left at the residence and has since been impounded by police. Adams was last seen with her daughters Michelle Hundley, 5, and Jaracca Hundley, 3, at a Kenai business the morning of May 25, Sandahl said. Investigators did not find any sign of forced entry into their apartment when officers responded to a welfare check on May 31, Sandahl said. The door See SEARCH, page A-7

Assembly debates votes, voting by mail By KAYLEE OSOWSKI Peninsula Clarion

Discussion of voters and taxes dominated a nearly fourhour meeting Tuesday night. While the Kenai Peninsula Borough Assembly postponed its vote on an ordinance that would require borough elec-

tions to be held by mail, it did narrowly pass an ordinance to change the 60 percent voter approval requirement to a simple majority to increase the cap on sales tax. Assembly member Brent Johnson sponsored the ordinance. He gave three reasons for introducing the ordinance.

According to borough code, sales tax can only be applied to the first $500 of each sale. Johnson said while that number stays the same, inflation occurs, so it is “improper to set it at a super-majority threshold.” Voters passed the initiative to set the 60 percent requirement to change the sales tax in

2005 by 54.2 percent. Johnson said while it’s noble to try to keep taxes down, he doesn’t think it’s noble that 54 percent of voters can set a 60 percent threshold. “Could they have chose 70 percent?” Johnson said. “Could 51 percent of the people choose a threshold of 80 percent? It’s

completely capricious.” He said it is a matter of equality. Considering the issue by individuals, if someone wants to change the sales tax, his or her vote isn’t equal to those who do not want change. “Everybody is equal and everybody should have an equal See VOTES, page A-7

Military identifies 17 KPC student visits China killed in 1952 crash By MARK THIESSEN Associated Press

ANCHORAGE — The remains of about a third of the service members who died when their military transport plane crashed into an Alaska mountain and then was buried for decades in glacier ice have been identified, military officials said Wednesday. The Department of Defense released the identities of 17 people onboard the C-124 Globemaster, which crashed in 1952, and said the remains will be returned to their families for burial with full military

honors. The first believed burial is planned Saturday in Caney, Kansas, for Army Pvt. Leonard A. Kittle, said Tonja AndersonDell, a Tampa, Florida, woman who has researched the crash for years. Her interest was stoked about the crash when her grandmother, now deceased, told her details of her grandfather, Isaac Anderson, 21, who died when the plane hit the mountain on Nov. 22, 1952. Anderson-Dell also maintains a Facebook page about the crash and recovery efforts. See CRASH, page A-7

KETCHIKAN (AP) — Ketchikan officials have agreed to continue grant funding for a shellfish-seed producer amid questions about OceansAlaska’s financial situation. The Ketchikan Gateway Borough Assembly last year approved a $338,000 grant to be split over two years for operational costs and $50,000 for a business plan and design for the facility’s future operations. But OceansAlaska’s new facility manager, Steven Lacroix, said only $6,000 of that $50,000 grant was spent on its stated purpose. A local bookkeeper recently brought in by the nonprofit to sort through its finances, MJ Cadle, said the filing system is inadequate and finding all the receipts has been

‘What I’m attempting to do is make sure that the receipts that were given were correct. To be quite honest with you, checks were written and appear to have not been sent so I can’t find those checks.’ — MJ Cadle a challenge, KRBD reported. “Every day I come upon new receipts,” Cadle said. “Where I don’t have receipts, I have vendor names and I’ll be contacting vendors if that’s the shortest way to get to those receipts. What I’m attempting to do is make sure that the receipts that were given were correct. To be quite honest with you, checks were written and appear to have

not been sent so I can’t find those checks. Not huge checks, but checks were written to pay bills, which made them reimbursable. But the checks were not mailed.” Cadle said it didn’t appear that there was any malfeasance involved. “My initial review was that somebody was operating way above their skill level. And stuff happens,” she said.

OceansAlaska has a new board and staff. After a presentation, borough manager Dan Bockhorst asked if the Assembly wanted him to approve invoices for the $20,000 left in this year’s grant. Concerns were raised both about providing more money to a potentially failing enterprise and not giving OceansAlaska a chance to succeed. Assembly Member Alan Bailey asked Cadle if OceansAlaska would shut down if the money wasn’t provided. She said that while she still has somewhat incomplete information, she thought it would. The Assembly agreed to continue funding. But members said they would want answers, a plan for the future and checks and balances in place before considering additional money.

Lifelong Alaskan resident, Benjamin Edgar Kruse, 30, died Friday, June 6, 2014 due to injuries suffered in an ATV accident. Funeral and graveside services were held Thursday and Friday of last week. He was laid to rest at the Spruce Grove Memorial Park in Kasilof. Ben Kruse was born September 20, 1983 to James and Linda Kruse in Soldotna. He loved playing basketball, snowmachining, ATV riding, hiking and spending time at the beach with his family. His family wrote, “For Ben, life was grounded in his love of God and family, especially his two sons: Karver and Parker. Those who knew Ben knew a man whose physical stature was exceeded only by the greatness of his heart. He was a selfless provider to his wife, Candace, and their sons. His generosity was truly unparalleled. Benjamin Kruse was a devoted father, husband, a loving son, a loyal and amazing brother, and a caring nephew, uncle, grandson, and cousin. His sense of humor and ready smile brightened every situation. “His unwavering faith in God saw him through life’s many testing grounds. “Though the mountains be shaken and the hills be removed, yet My unfailing love for you will not be shaken, nor My covenant of peace be removed, saith the Lord.” (Isaiah 54:10) He is survived by his parents, James and Linda Kruse; sons, Karver and Parker Kruse; wife, Candace Kruse; brothers, Jered (Alicia) Kruse, Corey (Amy) Kruse; sister, Sharon Kruse, brothers, Joshua Kruse and Joseph (Amy) Kruse and an entire tribe of aunts, uncles, nieces, nephews, and cousins.

What Others Say

Measles outbreak a reminder to vaccinate A disease once on its way to oblivion

apparently is on the rise — and headed this way, say health officials locally and nationwide. So forget rumors you might have heard about vaccinations and make sure you and your children have had one. That’s the message coming this week from health officials about a resurgence in cases of measles nationwide. The Centers for Disease Control reported this month that measles has reached a 20-year high, and a big reason for the increase is a decrease in the number of people being vaccinated, especially children. Pitt County Health Director John Morrow told The Daily Reflector that with measles’ virtual disappearance in years past, parents today are not aware of its potentially terrible effects. That’s one reason they might not worry much about making sure their children receive the vaccine that would protect them. Morrow also cited a report that originated in England years ago as another reason for the decline in vaccinations. The report suggested that some of the ingredients in the vaccine could cause other childhood illnesses, including autism. The researcher behind this report had falsified data, Morrow said, but by the time that became broadly known the rumor that the vaccine was harmful had “gone viral.” As a result, the threat of a measles comeback today is real. In the last five months, measles has caused more U.S. illnesses than in any entire year since 1996, said the CDC. The disease spreads easily through the air and in a closed room infected droplets can linger for up to two hours after a sick person leaves. There have been 16 outbreaks producing 397 cases of the highly contagious respiratory disease in 20 states, including nearby Virginia and Tennessee ... So vigilance and awareness are in order to head it off, and it’s certainly not too soon to vaccinate any who need protection from this unwanted visitor from the past. Let’s just hope it’s not too late. — The Daily Reflector, Greenville, North Carolina, June 16

Opinion

CLARION P

By GARRY TRUDEAU

Immigration sinks Cantor The seeds of House Majority Leader Eric Cantor’s shocking primary loss may have been sown in January. That’s when House Republican leaders insisted on floating a set of immigration principles at the party’s retreat as a gesture toward acting on the Senate Gang of Eight immigration bill. The principles were shelved, but they stoked the worst fears of opponents of the Gang of Eight bill — that no matter how dead the bill seemed, it could be revived instantly. The principles helped keep the issue alive, and in so doing, lit the long fuse on the stick of dynamite that ignited in Virginia’s 7th Congressional District. Eric Cantor wouldn’t be on the top of anyone’s list of victims of an immigration backlash. He’s not John McCain or Lindsey Graham. His offense was speaking in favor of an unspecified version of the DREAM Act and making occasional favorable sounds about more far-reaching legislation. The standard for convicting Cantor, it turns out, wasn’t guilt beyond a reasonable doubt, or preponderance of evidence. It was simple suspicion. Conservatives suspected that the House leadership wanted to pass immigration reform, no matter what it might say, and suspected that Cantor would be part of it, no matter what he might say. The message of the district’s primary voters on immigration was, “We don’t trust you.” There are few issues in American life that so justify a thoroughgoing cynicism as immigration. The political elite has never

Letters to the editor Community support key to Kenai River Spring Cleanup Because of our many generous sponsors, the first annual Kenai River Spring Cleanup brought in just under 2,500 pounds of trash from the riparian habitat of the Kenai River, far exceeding expectations. Bus transportation for classes participating in the Kenai River Professional Guide Associations’ Kids’ River Cleanup Day was sponsored by Batir Construction, and the Cleanup Barbecue was made possible by Stanley Chrysler. Other event and prize-drawing sponsors included: Alaska Fishing with Mark Glassmaker, Alaska Sea Life Center, Alaska Tourism Marketing Council, Alaska West Air, Aspen Hotel, Batir Constructions, Bubb’s Pizza, CBC Rental,Charlotte’s, Homer Electric Association, Inc., Hutchings Auto Group, Jump’n Junction, Kenai River Brewery, Kenai River Sportsfishing Association, Ken’s Alaska Tackle, Key-O’s Guide Service, Magpie’s Pizza, Moose River Dental, Moose River BBQ, Odie’s Deli, O’Reily Auto Parts, Pizza Boys, River & Sea Marine, Soldotna Trustworthy, Spenard Builder Supply, Sportsman’s Warehouse, Stanley Ford & Chrysler, Sterling Brotherhood, Sweeney’s, and Wilderness Way. Community organizations that participated included: ReGroup, Halo Bay Bear Camp, Stream Watch, Trout Unlimited Kenai Peninsula Chapter, Soldotna Chamber of Commerce, Alaska State Parks, Kenai Peninsula Safe Kids (Jane Fellman) and the Kenai National Wildlife Refuge. The City of Soldotna Parks & Recreation Department also went above and beyond in their support of this event by allowing us to host the Community Barbecue and Trash Weigh-In at Soldotna Creek Park, and by handling all event logistics and trash transportation. C

cared about enforcing immigration laws; it invariably sells whatever is the latest version of “comprehensive” reform in dishonest terms; and it has an ill-disguised contempt for the alleged boobs who take Rich Lowry immigration enforcement seriously. Of course, Cantor couldn’t have possibly lost, let alone lost by double digits, if he wasn’t vulnerable more broadly. Compared with his underfunded, underdog opponent, Cantor was the well-heeled Big Dollar candidate, the powerful Inside Washington candidate, the highly connected Big Business candidate. In most circumstances, these are formidable strengths, but David Brat used them against Cantor in an act of populist jujitsu. The insurgent candidate’s opposition to amnesty was part of a larger anti-Washington and anti-Wall Street working-class message. Brat constantly linked immigration to jobs and wages. In his closing argument, he said, “Cantor continues to work with multinational corporations to boost the inflow of low-wage guest workers to reduce Virginians’ wages and employment opportunities.” He attacked the Chamber of Commerce and the Business Roundtable. He tweeted out a picture of Cantor posing with Facebook founder Mark Zuckerberg — an enthusiast for the importation

Equally as encouraging was the number of organizations and individuals willing to donate their time to make the river cleanup effort successful. While many people were involved in making the event come together, nobody stepped forward with more hours of staff time and provision of resources than the Kenai River Sportfishing Association. By all accounts, this year’s Kenai River Spring Cleanup was a huge success, and we look forward to even more participation in subsequent years as we continue working to instill a strong, personal sense of river stewardship in future generations (and remove a bit of river trash in the process). So where did the idea of a communitywide Kenai River Spring Cleanup come from? For years the Kenai River Professional Guide Association (KRPGA) has enjoyed hosting “Take A Kid Fishing Day” early each May. Volunteering for this event was something our guides always looked forward too, so there was some disappointment when the preseason closure for early run king fishing on the Kenai River was announced in February. After the announcement, we began brainstorming ways KRPGA could continue helping area youth connect with the Kenai River in spite of low returns of earlyrun chinook. It wasn’t long before the idea to host a Kids’ River Cleanup Day floated to the top. As anyone who has picked up a rod and reel knows, going fishing is as much about getting outside and enjoying the river as it is about catching fish. A Kids’ River Cleanup Day allows that same kind of upclose-and-personal experience, while also providing a unique educational opportunity. We brought our Kids’ River Cleanup Day idea with us to a Kenai River Special Management Area (KRSMA) Advisory Board Meeting, where the City of Soldotna expressed an interest in partnering with us to grow the event to include the broader community as well. The rest, as they say,

of more foreign workers — with the caption “Eric Cantor doesn’t represent you.” In a nutshell, Brat took a version of the populist conservatism championed by Alabama Sen. Jeff Sessions (and the influential, Brat-supporting talk-show host Laura Ingraham) and weaponized it against Cantor. It proved incredibly powerful. The Brat message is one that all Republicans should heed. If the GOP is ever going to become identified as the pro-worker party again, it must oppose flooding the labor market with new, wage-suppressing foreign labor at the behest of business interests. But obviously this can’t be the entirety of the Republican agenda. The irony is that Cantor has been one of the Republicans trying to fill in the rest of the picture with a bread-and-butter economic agenda aimed at ordinary workers. Indeed, Eric Cantor’s contributions to the party have been considerable. He rose in the House as a young reformer when the House Republicans had a literally corrupt establishment. A tireless party-builder and committed (if realistic) conservative, he did much to nurture the Republican candidates who took the House in 2010. If he and other members of the leadership had unmistakably slammed the door on the Gang of Eight bill or any permutations of it, he would probably still be on his way to the speakership. Now, the bill is dead, and so is his House career. Rich Lowry can be reached via e-mail: comments.lowry@nationalreview.com.

Odie’s ownership stays local By DAN BALMER Peninsula Clarion

While ownership of Odie’s Deli has changed hands, customers should not expect anything different from either location in Soldotna and Kenai. Melodie Symington, who first opened Odie’s Deli in 2005 in Soldotna, has transferred ownership to Megan Schaafsma effective today. The Kenai City Council on Wednesday approved a concession agreement for Schaafsma to take over the lease of the restaurant in the Kenai Municipal Airport. Symington signed a five-year lease in the airport terminal this January. Symington said her family is moving to eastern Washington where they is involved in another restaurant. She said she has been thinking about the move for a couple years and briefly put the Soldotna restaurant on the market last year. It wasn’t until a couple months ago when Schaafsma showed interest in continuing the business. “(Schaafsma) loves the Odie’s name and product and is such a good person to continue on the way we have done things,” Symington said. “I am so blessed to be part of this community and meet so many people. I enjoyed it more than I ever imagined.” Schaafsma, who worked at Odie’s Deli in Soldotna for three years and one year as manager, helped start the pub quiz Wednesday nights at the restaurant. She has spent the majority of her life in Alaska while her husband, Andy Schaafsma was born and raised in Soldotna. She said they are excited to start this venture together.

Megan Schaafsma makes a sandwich at Odie’s Deli Wednesday in Soldotna. Schaafsma is buying the business from longtime owner Melodie Symington who first opened the deli in 2005. Schaafsma will take over both the Kenai Airport and Soldotna locations.

“We have always wanted to own a restaurant,” she said. “It came together natural and organically. I am just picking up (Symington’s) baby and continue what she started.” Schaafsma said customers should not expect any changes from transition. She said the same great food and great service would continue. In the future she said she would like to bring in more community events at both locations. “(Symington) has developed an amazing menu,” she said. “The bread and cookies are fantastic. We have a fantastic staff and amazing loyalty.” While Schaafsma has been away from the business for the last two years, she helped

Symington launch the Kenai location. Symington will stick around for a couple months to help with the transition to get Schaafsma familiar with the day-to-day operations. Schaafsma has previous management experience in the food industry at a couple restaurants in the Boston, Massachusetts area. “She is familiar with a lot of the business and has a great head on her shoulders,” Symington said. Prior to Odie’s Deli opening in Soldotna, the building used to be home to Fat Teddies Deli before sitting empty for a year, Schaafsma said. Before that it was a Wendy’s and a Burger King fast food restaurant, she

said. Odie’s has been a staple in the community and she would like to see it continue to be a place for people to gather. Symington said she will have fond memories of her three children growing up in the restaurant business, which helped teach them leadership and work ethic and how to treat customers. “I think it’s great experience for kids to have a part in the family business,” she said. “It gave us a sense of belonging and was fun for us to have that connection with the community.” Reach Dan Balmer at daniel.balmer@peninsulaclarion. com.

Cheese! Businesses get sales off Instagram C

Peninsula Clarion, Thursday, June 19, 2014

at least one photo with their smartphone during their shifts. The best are uploaded to UOI Boutique’s Instagram account.

Hashtag everything The right hashtag can attract customers from far away. Brooke Sacco, the owner of Behind The Moon, a shop that sells used and new kids clothing in Hammonton, New Jersey uploaded a photo of a pair of outfits with the hashtag of the clothing’s brand name. A potential customer in Dallas was searching for that brand on Instagram and asked Sacco to send the $7 dress and romper to Texas. It was the first time Sacco had shipped clothing to customers since she opened the store in April.

Building a brand But it’s not just about posting pictures of products. Dyer and Jenkins, an online seller of men’s clothing, reinforces that its jeans and T-shirts are made in America through Instagram. Owner Josey Orr posts three photos a day to the Los Angeles company’s Instagram account and has a rule: 20 percent of

the photos are of Dyer and Jenkins clothing and 80 percent are photos of weathered American flags, classic cars or West Coast highways. The account has more nearly 11,000 followers. (As a comparison, big clothing brands such as J. Crew has more than 500,000 followers and Urban Outfitters has nearly 1.5 million.) “It’s more about the brand and less about selling products,” says Orr. That’s also true for Hawaiian hot sauce maker Adoboloco. “We use Instagram to show what we’re doing in our lives and outside of the business,” says owner Tim Parsons. He posts photos from the Hawaiian farm where some of the chili peppers used in the sauces are grown. There are also lots of pictures of Maui’s sandy beaches and french fries, eggs and other meals drenched with Adoboloco’s hot sauce. Why does Instagram resonate with potential customers?

Nation & World

Around the World US Patent Office finds Redskins’ name offensive, moves to strip it of trademark WASHINGTON — The U.S. Patent and Trademark Office ruled Wednesday that the Washington Redskins’ name is “disparaging of Native Americans” and should be stripped of trademark protection — a decision that puts powerful new financial and political pressure on the NFL team to rename itself. By a vote of 2-1, the agency’s Trademark Trial and Appeal Board sided with five Native Americans in a dispute that has been working its way through legal channels for more than two decades. The ruling doesn’t directly force the team to abandon the name, but it adds momentum to the campaign at a time of increasing criticism of Redskins owner Dan Snyder from political, religious and sports figures who say it’s time for a change. “If the most basic sense of morality, decency and civility has not yet convinced the Washington team and the NFL to stop using this hateful slur, then hopefully today’s patent ruling will, if only because it imperils the ability of the team’s billionaire owner to keep profiting off the denigration and dehumanization of Native Americans,” Oneida Indian representative Ray Halbritter and National Congress of American Indians Executive Director Jackie Pata, two of the leading forces in the campaign to change the name, said in a statement. The Redskins quickly announced they will appeal, and the team’s name will continue to have trademark protection while the matter makes its way through the courts — a process that could take years.

Afghan presidential candidate seeks halt to vote counting, cites widespread fraud KABUL, Afghanistan — Presidential candidate Abdullah Abdullah demanded Wednesday that Afghan electoral authorities stop counting ballots from a weekend runoff vote, citing new allegations of widespread fraud. The election commission refused and appealed to all sides to await final results. The discord set the stage for a showdown that could threaten Afghanistan’s first peaceful transfer of authority. Abdullah, a onetime aide to a famed warlord during the Afghan anti-Soviet guerrilla campaign, said monitors deployed by his campaign to the polls had recorded massive ballot box stuffing and other irregularities. He also announced his team was suspending relations with the Independent Election Commission, accusing it of interfering in the vote and inflating turnout figures. The finger-pointing in the June 14 election pitting Abdullah against Ashraf Ghani Ahmadzai mars what Western officials had hoped would be an important step toward democracy for the troubled country as the U.S. and its allies wind down their 13-year combat mission. Both candidates have promised to sign a security pact with the United States that would allow nearly 10,000 American troops to stay in the country beyond the end of this year to train Afghan security forces and perform counterterrorism operations.

Ukraine president promises cease-fire by his troops battling pro-Russia separatists KIEV, Ukraine — The new president of Ukraine promised on Wednesday that government troops would soon stop firing on pro-Russian armed separatists, offering a chance to end the fighting that has killed hundreds and wracked the industrial east. In another concession to Moscow, Petro Poroshenko replaced his foreign minister, who had outraged Russians by using an obscenity to describe President Vladimir Putin. An end to the two months of fighting and a promised safe exit for rebels would allow Putin to say that Russia has fulfilled its goal of protecting Russian speakers in eastern Ukraine, while Poroshenko can claim victory over the rebellion. The Ukrainian president discussed his plan for a unilateral cease-fire in a phone call with Putin late Tuesday, their offices said, and Poroshenko also spoke with German Chancellor Angela Merkel. Russia’s foreign minister cautiously welcomed the move, but voiced concern that it could be a ruse.

US man, 89, ordered held on charges of aiding and abetting deaths as Nazi guard PHILADELPHIA — An 89-year-old Philadelphia man was ordered held without bail Wednesday on a German arrest warrant charging him with aiding and abetting the killing of 216,000 Jewish men, women and children while he was a guard at the Auschwitz death camp. The man, retired toolmaker Johann “Hans” Breyer, was arrested by U.S. authorities Tuesday night. Breyer spent the night in custody and appeared frail during a detention hearing in federal court, wearing an olive green prison jumpsuit and carrying a cane. Legal filings unsealed Wednesday in the U.S. indicate the district court in Weiden, Germany, issued a warrant for Breyer’s arrest the day before, charging him with 158 counts of complicity in the commission of murder. Each count represents a trainload of Nazi prisoners from Hungary, Germany and Czechoslovakia who were killed at Auschwitz-Birkenau between May 1944 and October 1944, the documents said. Attorney Dennis Boyle argued his client is too infirm to be detained pending a hearing on his possible extradition to Germany. Breyer has mild dementia and heart issues and has previously suffered strokes, Boyle said.

Concerns aside, states moving forward with executions; Florida plans execution ST. LOUIS — With Florida preparing Wednesday for the nation’s third execution in less than 24 hours, some death penalty states — particularly in the South — appear unfazed by the recent furor over how the U.S. carries out lethal injections. A botched execution seven weeks ago in Oklahoma amplified a national debate about the secretive ways many states obtain lethal injection drugs from loosely regulated compounding pharmacies. Before Tuesday, nine executions were stayed or delayed — albeit some for reasons not related to the drug question. Amid the court battles, many pro-death penalty states kept pushing to resume executions, including the three that scheduled lethal injections during the quick burst this week. Georgia and Missouri executed prisoners around an hour apart late Tuesday and early Wednesday, and John Ruthell Henry was scheduled to receive a lethal injection at 6 p.m. EDT in Florida. — The Associated Press

Fierce battle over oil refinery By HAMZA HENDAWI Associated Press

BAGHDAD — Iraqi forces and Sunni militants battled fiercely for control of the nation’s largest oil refinery on Wednesday as Prime Minister Nouri al-Maliki went on a diplomatic offensive, reaching out in a televised address to try to regain support from the nation’s disaffected Sunnis and Kurds. Meanwhile, the government asserted that it had retaken partial control of a strategic city near the border with Syria. Al-Maliki’s conciliatory words, coupled with a vow to teach the militants a “lesson,” came as almost all Iraq’s main communities have been drawn into a spasm of violence not seen since the dark days of sectarian killings nearly a decade ago. The U.S. has been pressing al-Maliki to adopt political inclusion and undermine the insurgency by making overtures to Iraq’s once-dominant Sunni minority, which has long complained of discrimination by his government and abuses by his Shiite-led security forces. In Washington, President Barack Obama briefed leaders of Congress on options for quelling the al-Qaida-inspired insurgency, though White House officials said the president had made no decisions about how to respond to the crumbling security situation in Iraq. While Obama has not fully ruled out the possibility of launching airstrikes, such action is not imminent, officials said, in part because intelligence agencies have been unable to identify clear targets on the ground. Al-Maliki, a Shiite, has rejected charges of bias against Iraq’s Sunnis and Kurds and has in recent days been stressing that the threat posed by the militant Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant, or ISIL, will affect all

‘I tell all the brothers there have been negative practices by members of the military, civilians and militiamen, but that is not what we should be discussing. Our effort should not be focused here and leave the larger objective of defeating ISIL.’ — Prime Minister Nouri al-Maliki Iraqis regardless of their ethnic or religious affiliations. He also rejects any suggestion that the Islamic State and other extremist groups enjoy support by disaffected Sunnis fed up with his perceived discrimination. In a move apparently designed to satisfy Obama’s demand for national reconciliation, al-Maliki expressed optimism in a televised address Wednesday over what he called the rise by all of Iraq’s political groups to the challenge of defending the nation against the militant threat. The crisis has led Iraqis to rediscover “national unity,” he said. “I tell all the brothers there have been negative practices by members of the military, civilians and militiamen, but that is not what we should be discussing,” al-Maliki said. “Our effort should not be focused here and leave the larger objective of defeating ISIL.” Late Tuesday, the prime minister appeared on television with Sunni and Kurdish leaders. They issued a joint statement about the need to close ranks and stick to “national priorities” in the face of the threat posed by the militants. Still, al-Maliki’s outreach remain largely rhetoric, with no concrete action to bridge differences with Sunnis and Kurds, who have been at loggerheads with the prime minister over

their right to independently export oil and over territorial claims. Al-Maliki’s upbeat assessment came as the military said government forces had repelled repeated attacks by the militants on the country’s largest oil refinery and retaken parts of the strategic city of Tal Afar, near the Syrian border. The chief military spokesman, Lt. Gen. Qassim al-Moussawi, said Iraqi army troops had defended the refinery at Beiji, some 250 kilometers (155 miles) north of Baghdad, and 40 attackers were killed in fighting there overnight and early Wednesday. An employee at the oil refinery reached by The Associated Press late Wednesday also said the facility remained in government hands, though one of its fuel tanks was on fire after it was apparently hit by a mortar shell fired by the militants. He spoke on condition of anonymity in exchange for discussing the situation there. The Beiji refinery accounts for a little more than a quarter of the country’s entire refining capacity — all of which goes toward domestic consumption for things like gasoline, cooking oil and fuel for power stations. Any lengthy outage at Beiji risks long lines at the gas pump and electricity shortages, adding to the chaos already facing Iraq.

Video footage posted online showed smoke billowing in the background from an area near the refinery. Another clip uploaded by the Islamic State militants showed heavily armed fighters arriving in the town, waving black flags out of cars. The videos appear genuine and correspond to AP’s reporting of the events depicted. There was no independent confirmation of the military’s claims about the Beiji refinery or that its forces had retaken neighborhoods in Tal Afar, which Sunni fighters captured Monday. Both are in territories held by insurgents that journalists have not been able to access. Tal Afar’s proximity to the Syrian border strengthens the Islamic State’s plan to carve out an Islamic caliphate, or state, stretching across parts of the two countries. The Iraqi crisis’ growing sectarian nature — which alMaliki vehemently denies — caught the attention of U.N. chief Ban Ki-moon. In a message to the Organization of Islamic Cooperation Council meeting Wednesday in Jiddah, Saudi Arabia, he called on Iraq’s leaders “to come together and agree on a national security plan to address the terrorist threat from ISIL.” “The rapidly deteriorating security situation in Iraq is deeply alarming and increases the sectarian tensions in the region,” Ban said. “It is imperative that acts of reprisal be avoided as they can only intensify the cycle of violence.” The campaign by the al-Qaida-inspired Islamic State militants has raised the specter of the sectarian warfare that nearly tore the country apart in 2006 and 2007, with the popular mobilization to fight the insurgents taking an increasingly sectarian slant, particularly after Iraq’s top Shiite cleric made a call to arms on Friday.

Obama may act in Iraq without signoff By JULIE PACE and DONNA CASSATA Associated Press

WASHINGTON — President Barack Obama and congressional leaders believe he does not need authorization from Congress for some steps he might take to quell the alQaida-inspired insurgency sweeping through Iraq, the Senate’s top Republican and Capitol Hill aides said after the president briefed senior lawmakers Wednesday. Still, the prospect of the president sidestepping Congress raises the potential for clashes between the White House and rank-and-file lawmakers, particularly if Obama should launch strikes with manned aircrafts or take other direct U.S. military action in Iraq. Administration officials have said airstrikes have become less a focus of recent deliberations but have also said the president could order such a step if intelligence agencies can identify clear targets on the ground. Obama huddled in the Oval Office for over an hour to discuss options for responding the crumbling security situation in Iraq with Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid, D-Nev., Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell, R-Ky., House Speaker John Boehner, R-Ohio, and House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif. Speaking to reporters as he returned to the Capitol, McConnell said the president “indicated he didn’t feel he had any need for authority from us for steps that he might take.” Pelosi concurred with the president, saying in a statement after the meeting that Obama does not need “any further legislative authority to pursue the particular options for increased security assistance discussed today.” She did not specify what options were discussed. The White House has publicly dodged questions about whether Obama might seek congressional approval if he decides to take military action. C

Last summer, Obama did seek approval for possible strikes against Syria, but he scrapped the effort when it became clear that lawmakers would not grant him the authority. However, administration officials have suggested that the president may be able to act on his own in this case because Iraq’s government has requested U.S. military assistance. “I think it certainly is a distinction and difference worth noting,” White House spokesman Jay Carney said Wednesday of the comparisons to the Syrian situation. In addition, an authorization for the use of military force in Iraq, passed by Congress in 2002, is still on the books and could potentially be used as a rationale for the White House acting without additional approval. Before the outburst of violence in Iraq, Obama had called for that authorization to be repealed. Some lawmakers were outraged when Obama launched military action in Libya in 2011 with minimal consultation with Congress and no formal authorization from Capitol Hill. More recently, some in Congress have complained that the White House did not consult on final plans for releasing five Taliban detainees from Guantanamo Bay, Cuba, in exchange for freeing detained American Sgt. Bowe Bergdahl. White House officials offered no timeline Wednesday for how soon Obama might decide on how to respond to the fast-moving militants from the group Islamic State in Iraq and the Levant, which has seized Mosul, Tikrit and other towns in Iraq as the country’s military melted away. Obama’s decision-making on airstrikes has been complicated by intelligence gaps that resulted from the U.S. military withdrawal from Iraq in late 2011, which left the country largely off-limits to American operatives. Intelligence agencies are now trying to close gaps and identify possible tar-

gets that include insurgent encampments, training camps, weapons caches and other stationary supplies, according to U.S. officials. Officials also suggest that the U.S. could more easily identify targets on the ground if Obama would send in additional American trainers to work with Iraqi security forces. Obama is considering that possibility, the officials say, though he has ruled out sending troops for combat missions. The officials spoke only on condition of anonymity because they were not authorized to describe classified details and private discussions by name. Obama is certain to face resistance from congressional

Democrats if he launches any major military response to the crisis in Iraq. Two House Democrats — John Garamendi of California and Colleen Hanabusa of Hawaii — said Wednesday they would offer an amendment to the defense spending bill that would require congressional approval before any sustained military action in Iraq. The House is debating the defense bill and is scheduled to finish it this week. Beyond airstrikes, the White House has been considering plans to boost Iraq’s intelligence about the militants and, more broadly, has been encouraging the Shiite-dominated government in Baghdad to become more inclusive.

conditions to assemble, store and upkeep the largest of the 400 pieces of city equipment. With five overhead doors, four of which are 24 feet wide, there is adequate space for drive-in repairs of large vehicles like the fire ladder truck, Koch said. The 50-year-old city shop and equipment storage building located on Willow Street was 4,000 square feet and had been inadequate for more than 30 years, he said. “Much of the equipment

fleet was kept outside, which increased electrical and maintenance costs to warm up the machines during the winter months,” Koch said. Koch said the city would be able to save money now that they have moved from the old city shop, which they leased from the airport. The city of Kenai received $2 million in state appropriations for the new facility. Koch said for the last five years he was able to build up the city general reserve fund to pay for

the rest. This year the city was awarded $1.9 million capital grant from the Legislature to build a storage building next to the maintenance shop. Having ample space for the Public Works Department on one campus will greatly improve efficiency of city services, he said.

assembly member Wayne Ogle said voters can consider that and he doesn’t think there will be a problem to get 60 percent of voters to pass a sales tax increase. Johnson said he doesn’t like to get into a crisis and have to scramble to adjust funds to account for a crisis. The ordinance passed with five votes in favor cast by assembly members Johnson, Bill Smith, Hal Smalley, Sue McClure and Mako Haggerty. The assembly postponed an ordinance to hold elections by-

mail to the July 1 meeting to allow for time for a resolution to come forward to ask for an advisory vote at the Oct. 7 election. Assembly member Dale Bagley said an ordinance that changes the way elections are held should go to voters. “I just think going through a process to vote on this would be very good education for people in the borough,” he said. A consent agenda item to introduce an ordinance to put a proposition on the Oct.7 ballot

to implement a 4 percent bed tax was taken up in the regular agenda. After hearing from multiple members of the public at the meeting, the assembly voted to hold two public hearings on the issue at 6 p.m. at the July 1 and July 22 assembly meetings in the assembly chambers at the George A.

Days later, a member of the Fairbanks Civil Air Patrol, along with a member of the 10th Air Rescue Squadron, landed at a glacier and positively identified the wreckage as the Globemaster. The civil air patrol member was Terris Moore, president of the University of Alaska. He later told reporters the plane “obviously was flying at full speed” when it hit Mount Gannett, sliding down the snow-covered cliffs, explod-

ing and disintegrating over 2 or 3 acres, according to an Associated Press story from the time. The heavy transport plane with 41 passengers and 11 crew members became buried in snow and likely churned beneath the surface of the glacier for decades. The Alaska National Guard discovered the wreckage in June 2012 on Colony Glacier, about 40 miles east of Anchorage. An eight-man Joint POW/ MIA Accounting Command recovered materials such as a life-support system from the wreckage and possible bones from the glacier two summers

ago, and took the evidence to the command’s lab in Hawaii for analysis. Military officials said in a release that the remaining 35 service members have not yet been recovered from the wreckage, and the site will be monitored for possible future recovery efforts. Further details were not immediately available from a military spokeswoman who didn’t return a message to The Associated Press. Anderson-Dell said it is her understanding the military will continue to fly over the area to see if the glacier has given up any additional material from the wreckage.

Positive ID of Homer house fire victim still pending By MICHAEL ARMSTRONG Morris News Service-Alaska/ Homer News

The State Medical Examiner has not yet positively identified the adult killed in a house fire last Friday. Homer Police Chief Mark Robl on Wednesday said an autopsy was done Tuesday, but a comparison of dental records still needs to be done to verify the victim’s identity. Robl said the family of the person believed to live in the home has been notified that the fire victim might be a relative. The cause of death also has not yet been released. No foul play is suspected. The adult died in a house fire on Rainbow Court in downtown Homer on the morning of June 13. A neighbor called in the fire about 10:40 a.m. When firefighters arrived, the northeast corner of the home where the fire started was fully engulfed in flames, said Homer Volunteer Fire Department firefighter and acting fire chief Dan Miotke. Joe Brunner, who lives across the street from the

house that caught on fire, said a woman up the hill had called him when she saw smoke coming from the home. The house has a second story over the garage. Surrounded by thick alder bushes and trees, it is not easily visible from the street. Brunner told the woman to call 911 and went to the house. Brunner said he went in the front door and called the name of the person who lived there, but got no response. Smoke 3- to 4-feet thick covered the room, he said. “I had to go back out,” Brunner said. “I couldn’t breathe.” Brunner and firefighters were not injured. Miotke and two other firefighters were the first to arrive. Safety rules call for two firefighters to be outside when two go inside. Knowing a victim might be inside, firefighters can waive that rule, Miotke said. The first responders did that. Brunner told firefighters the location of the victim’s bedroom in the northeast corner of the home, and they took a hose line and went in to search. “We went in that direction,”

Around Alaska Kwethluk getting skateboarding park BETHEL — Construction of a skateboarding park is planned this summer in Kwethluk, which will be the only village in the vast Yukon-Kuskokwim Delta to have one. Materials are being gathered at a Seattle barge company, KYUK reported. The shipment is expected to arrive in July to the Yup’ik Eskimo village of about 780. The nearby hub town of Bethel has a skate park, but smaller surrounding villages in the region do not. The funding for the skate park in Kwethluk 12 miles to the east comes from a grant provided by Indian Health Services for a diabetes prevention program run by the Yukon Kuskokwim Health Corp. The village, in cooperation with the corporation, hired a company called Native Skateparks for the construction, which is expected to take about 20 days. Greg Mize, owner of Native Skateparks, said he shares his experiences with parents, who are sometimes concerned about injuries to their children. It changes when they drive by a skate park and see as many as 50 children there. “And I’d be standing there and grown men who came up to me and were kind of angry, come up to me later and say, ‘You know what, buddy, I apologize, this is the greatest thing that happened to our kids,’” Mize said.

High water delays track restoration work ANCHORAGE — High water is preventing Alaska Railroad workers from repairing a section of track washed out earlier this week. Passenger train service will not be restored Thursday as first thought. Instead, passengers will take a bus between Anchorage and Seward. Other passengers taking the train to either Spencer or Grandview whistlestops will have their journeys end at Whittier. One coal train scheduled for Seward will be delayed.

Miotke said. “There was heavy smoke and flames. We knocked the fire down and got most of it extinguished in that area. That’s where we located the body.” Miotke said it was obvious that the person had died. Firefighters covered the body to preserve the scene for an investigation and out of respect for the victim and to keep other firefighters from having to see the body. The fire apparently had been burning some time before firefighters got there, Miotke said. The roof over the back bedroom was close to collapsing. Smoke was so thick in the house that it built up pressure and was coming out of a chimney. It’s unknown still if the house had working smoke alarms, Robl said. The cause of the fire is still under investigation. Officials from HVFD and the State Fire Marshal’s office are investigating the fire. Robl said the body was found in a hallway outside the bedroom. He said it’s possible the person was trying to get out. Police do not suspect foul play or anything suspicious, he said.

“Right now the facts are pointing to an unattended death in a fire situation,” Robl said. Firefighters using a hand thermal camera re-entered the burning home to search for more possible victims. No one else was found. No pets were found, either, Miotke said. Family members of the victim who might have been at the home were later confirmed safe elsewhere. Ammunition in the home popped off as it exploded, but did not pose a threat to firefighters or neighbors, Miotke said. After the fire was put out, police helped secure firearms found in the house. Units from the Homer Volunteer Fire Department, Kachemak Emergency Services and the Alaska Division of Forestry responded with at least 20 firefighters and six trucks at the scene. Homer Police and Alaska State Troopers provided traffic control. Firefighters ran hoses from a hydrant in front of the home and from a hydrant on Kachemak Way, the nearest main street.

Black bear, cubs steal kids’ lunch boxes ANCHORAGE — Witnesses say a black bear and two cubs that have been frequenting midtown Anchorage stole several lunch boxes at a children’s day camp on the Alaska Pacific University campus. Katie Adrian, program manager at the summer program run by Camp Fire USA, tells The Anchorage Daily News the bears wandered onto the school’s soccer fields Monday, soon after the campers ate lunch at picnic tables and left behind some snacks. The bears carried a few lunch boxes into the woods and dug in. The bears weren’t aggressive, and camp staff corralled the kids. After this, she says the campers will eat elsewhere and store their food indoors. David Battle of the Alaska Fish and Game Department says there are no plans to remove the bears. He says the agency doesn’t consider them a public safety hazard.

Air Force cancels Eielson F-16 transfer study ANCHORAGE — The Air Force has canceled plans to study a move of F-16 fighter jets from Eielson Air Force Base outside Fairbanks to Joint Base Elmendorf-Richardson in Anchorage. The Fairbanks Daily News-Miner reports cancellation of the environmental review is the latest sign that Eielson’s F-16 squadron will stay in interior Alaska. The Air Force says the move would have cost Fairbanks 1,551 military and civilian jobs. Alaska’s congressional delegation in October announced that the Air Force had abandoned plans to shift the squadron. Air Force officials said cost savings were not as great as anticipated. — The Associated Press C

utility trucks and an ambulance filled the side street. The fire did not spread to nearby structures. Workers with the Homer Electric Association also responded to turn off power to the house. Miotke said that in situations like a fatal fire, firefighters can do what’s called a critical incident stress debriefing.

“We do our best to talk to the crews and the personnel and get a feel for how everybody is doing,” Miotke said. Robl said it could take several days to do a positive identification of the fire victim. Police will release the name of the victim when that’s done.

Oilers pitchers post shutout vs. Waves By JOEY KLECKA Peninsula Clarion

After Wednesday night’s batting lineup blunder, it can be certain that Peninsula Oilers head coach Kyle Richardson will be double-checking his batting lineup for every game this summer. After mistakenly swapping first baseman Ethan McGill and catcher Drake Zarate in the seventh and eighth positions in Wednesday’s lineup, Richardson was hoping the first-inning gaffe would not come back to bite his squad. “I would have felt terrible, but our pitchers picked us up, so that’s fine,” Richardson said. “I can live with a mistake here and there.” Luckily, the Oilers used several

brilliant fielding plays to shut out the Oceanside (San Diego) Waves 2-0 and win the first of a four-game exhibition series. The win improves the Oilers season to 6-1-2 overall. The same two teams play tonight at 7 p.m. at Seymour Park. The mixup came in the bottom of the first with the Oilers leading 2-0. With the bases loaded, McGill struck out for the second out of the inning. Next up, Zarate walked to bring Hernandez across home plate for the third run of the game, but Waves coach Arona Taele Jr. alerted the umpires, who promptly ended the inning by awarding the Oilers a third out and erasing Hernandez’s run. Richardson said he accidentally wrote Zarate and McGill’s names down in the wrong order on the lineup

card he had pinned up in the Oilers’ dugout, which differed from the one he gave to the Waves and the officials. With the two different lists hanging on the dugout walls, Waves general manager Mike Studer said he waited for the Oilers to notch a scoring play before notifying the umps. “The kid who was keeping the book noticed the different numbers, and that’s how we found it,” Studer said. “We were waiting for the at-bat to play out, and once the at-bat was over, we called them on it, and that caused the out.” Richardson walked out to argue his case with the umpire to no avail. But it ultimately ended up being a moot point, since the Oilers pitching staff and supporting cast put together a clean, crisp game.

“I was just hoping we could score more and it wouldn’t be an issue,” Richardson said. “Our pitchers went out and threw really well. Once we got to the sixth inning, I knew what we had in the pen and I started feeling a lot better. “Once I saw Jimmy (Nesselt) settle down, and we were in the sixth inning, I felt better.” Nesselt (2-0) ended the day with the win, pitching six innings with only three hits and no runs, and striking out six for an ERA of 1.39. Nesselt is averaging 1.38 for the summer so far. “We got those two early runs and were able to shut them down from there,” Nesselt said. “If all you need is two runs, we’ll take it.” Nesselt said his fastball worked well from the mound.

Dodgers starting pitcher Clayton Kershaw celebrates his no-hitter against the Colorado Rockies in Los Angeles on Wednesday. Kershaw struck out a career-high 15 batters.

Kershaw tosses no-hitter Dodgers ace comes within 1 error of perfect game vs. Rockies JOE RESNICK Associated Press

LOS ANGELES — After winning two Cy Young Awards in the past three seasons, Clayton Kershaw had already built a commanding reputation as the best pitcher in baseball. Now he has another big achievement to put on his resume. Kershaw pitched his first no-hitter Wednesday night, striking out a career-high 15 and allowing his only baserunner on a throwing error by shortstop Hanley Ramirez in the Los Angeles Dodgers’ 8-0 victory over the Colorado Rockies. Kershaw’s gem gave the Dodgers the only two no-hitters in the majors this season. Josh Beckett tossed one May 25 in Philadelphia. “I am so amazed,” Kershaw said. “Beckett told me he was going to teach me how to do that, so I have Josh to thank.” Cheered on by his wife in the stands, Kershaw (7-2) re-

tired his first 18 batters before Corey Dickerson led off the seventh with a slow bouncer to Ramirez. His throw on the run went wide past first baseman Adrian Gonzalez for a two-base error — ending any chance for a perfect game. But that was it for the Rockies against Kershaw, who shrugged off the miscue and came oh-so-close to throwing the 22nd perfecto in the majors since 1900. One batter after Dickerson reached base, rookie third baseman Miguel Rojas backhanded Troy Tulowitzki’s grounder behind the bag and let fly with a strong throw to first that Gonzalez — a threetime Gold Glove winner — scooped out of the dirt to keep the no-hitter intact. With the crowd of 46,069 on its feet and roaring, Kershaw made quick work of the Rockies in the ninth. DJ LeMahieu grounded out to first base on the first pitch of the inning and Charlie Culberson hit a lazy fly to right field on the next one. Dickerson

then got four straight strikes and went down swinging. After his 107th and final pitch, a beaming Kershaw raised his arms above his head and waited for a huge hug from catcher A.J. Ellis. Moments later, as he was about to be interviewed on the field, Kershaw was doused by teammates with two large buckets. The left-hander with the big-breaking curve also got a hug from his wife. Kershaw gave Los Angeles sports fans their second memorable thrill in just a few days. The Kings won the Stanley Cup at home last Friday night, their second NHL championship in three years, and brought the famous trophy to Dodger Stadium on Tuesday for a pregame ceremony. The only other time the Dodgers pitched two no-hitters in one season was 1956, when the team was still in Brooklyn. Carl Erskine and Sal Maglie turned the trick that year. Ramirez was back in the

lineup after leaving Tuesday night’s game with a bruised ring finger on his throwing hand, the result of a sharp grounder by Dickerson than deflected into short center field for a double. Ramirez was replaced on defense by rookie Carlos Triunfel to start the eighth. Kershaw missed more than six weeks early this year because of a strained muscle in his upper back, after beating Arizona in the season opener during the Dodgers’ twogame trip to Australia. It was the 22nd no-hitter in Dodgers history and the first at home since Ramon Martinez’s 2-0 gem against the Marlins on July 14, 1995. “As far as individual games go, this is really special. To do it at home is more amazing,” Kershaw said before looking up and thanking the crowd. Hall of Famer Sandy Koufax, who tossed four no-hitters, pitched the franchise’s only perfect game on Sept. 9, 1965, against the Chicago Cubs.

RIO DE JANEIRO — The king is dead. The World Cup will have a new champion. And the Netherlands look increasingly like credible pretenders for that newly vacated crown. Just like France in 2002 and Italy in 2010, defending champion Spain is going home tail between its legs. Chile delivered the mortal blow to an uninterrupted 6-year era of dominance for Spain, the European and world champions whose dazzling footballers ran out of puff in Brazil. They were made to look vulnerable last week in losing 5-1 to the Netherlands and then simply plain ordinary in a 2-0 loss to a physical and quick Chilean side. The Netherlands, 3-2 winners against Australia on Wednesday, and Chile are now both sure to advance to the next knockout round having won their two first matches. They will now play each other Monday to determine which of them tops Group B and avoids a possible encounter with host Brazil in the first knockout game on June 28. In Wednesday’s evening game, Croatia ensured Cameroon won’t go further, delivering a 4-0 thumping to the African side whose injured star, Samuel Eto’o, didn’t come off the bench. This is shaping up as another tough World Cup for Africa. Only Ivory Coast has won so far — its opener, 2-1, against Japan. It plays Colombia in Group C on Thursday, with the other matches Uruguay vs. England in Group D and Japan vs. Greece in Group C. With strikers Mario Mandzukic and Ivica Olic both scoring and midfielder Ivan Perisic getting a goal, too, Croatia presents a tough challenge for Mexico in their last Group A match next Monday. Mexico needs at least a draw to guarantee a place in the last 16. In the other Group A match, Brazil should have little difficulty against the feeble Cameroon side that was reduced to 10 men after 40 minutes against Croatia when Alex Song was shown red. At the Maracana Stadium in

Rio de Janeiro, fevered Chile fans yelling “It’s over! It’s over!” taunted Spanish supporters, some of them in tears, bitterly contemplating the end of an era for one of football’s greatest ever teams. Its success — back-to-back European titles and the World Cup in 2010 — has provided succor in brutal economic times for Spaniards. “The only happiness we’ve had in recent years has been football,” said Beatriz Corral, who came to Rio from Madrid to cheer for Spain. “Now the crisis is complete. We don’t have bread or the circus.” Demolishing Spain last week showed the Dutch can be spectacular. Toughing out a comefrom-behind 3-2 victory against Australia showed them to also be resilient and cool under pressure — vital qualities for the knockout rounds. Arjen Robben opened the scoring for the Netherlands before Tim Cahill brought the sides level a minute later with a stunning volley, one of the best strikes so far in the tournament that has seen 60 goals in 20 games. Mile Jedinak then converted a 54th minute penalty and Robin van Persie equalized for the Netherlands with his third goal of the tournament. A goalkeeping blunder by Maty Ryan then handed substitute Memphis Depay his first international goal, the winner for the Netherlands. With no points from its first two games, Spain will play only for pride when it meets Australia — also winless in its first two games — in their last match Group B match. Then it will be “adios” and a return home to the inevitable post-mortem of how a team that played like clockwork in defending its European title two years ago could fall so far, so quickly. In Brazil, the advancing age of key players, grievous mistakes from captain Iker Casillas and others, and coach Vicente del Bosque’s failure to read the writing on the wall fatally threw the Spanish machine out of gear. Spain’s demise was also a reminder of how difficult it is to retain the World Cup and for coaches to keep teams fresh and motivated in the four-year gap between tournaments.

Patent ruling puts pressure on Redskins WASHINGTON — The U.S. Patent and Trademark Office ruled Wednesday that the Washington Redskins’ name is “disparaging of Native Americans” and should be stripped of trademark protection — a decision that puts powerful new financial and political pressure on the NFL team to rename itself. By a vote of 2-1, the agency’s Trademark Trial and Appeal Board sided with five Native Americans in a dispute that has been working its way through legal channels for more than two decades. The ruling doesn’t directly force the team to abandon the name, but it adds momentum to the campaign at a time of increasing criticism of Redskins owner Dan Snyder from political, religious and sports figures who say it’s time for a change. “If the most basic sense of morality, decency and civility has not yet convinced the Washington team and the NFL to stop using this hateful slur, then hopefully today’s patent ruling will, if only because it imperils the ability of the team’s billionaire owner to keep profiting off the denigration and dehumanization of Native Americans,” Oneida Indian representative Ray Halbritter and National Congress of American Indians Executive Director Jackie Pata, two of the leading forces in the campaign to change the name, said in a statement. — Staff and wire reports

and I was hitting my spots well,” Nesselt said. “Drake was calling a great game, and we had a really great rhythm working, and we were getting sliders in there now and then, and some changeups to distract the hitters.” With the bases loaded with one out in the top of the fourth, Zarate caught a crucial throw from McGill to tag Jeff Nellis at home plate and keep the game scoreless for Oceanside. One batter later, Jake Sandlin executed a wild catch in center field to record the third out and end the inning scoreless. In the top of the sixth, all three outs were impressive. Sandlin notched another great catch for the first out, second baseman Carter Yagi flung a turnaround throw to McGill for the second, and left fielder

As the heat and eternal sunshine bring globe-trotting anglers to the Kenai Peninsula, it can become increasingly difficult to find a secluded spot to drop a line in the water and wait in peace for that first tentative nibble. The Robertsons and the Prestons, two couples from Sterling, found sunshine, solitude and at least one nibble from a rainbow trout on Peterson Lake in the Kenai National Wildlife Refuge in mid-June. While fishing on both the stocked and wild lakes on the Kenai Peninsula is typically the hottest in early spring, just after the ice melts, anglers say they enjoy the chance to get away from the business of the area’s salmon streams and focus on less popular fisheries. “May is fantastic,” said Norvell Robertson, of Sterling. “You can get your limit in 20 minutes in May on rainbow trout in the lakes. They’re hungry.” Robertson and Job Preston sat in their camp chairs, soaking up the sun Wednesday, as the surface of Peterson Lake rippled behind them and wind whipped smoke from their small campfire high into calm, blue sky. Judy Robertson and Gwen Preston sat nearby, while Sidney Robertson — an ancient cocker-spaniel — lay snoring near their feet. The group listened to Rush Limbaugh mid-morning as a few read and Preston worked on a wood carving. He tried fishing on the shallow lake earlier in the day, but the wind made the fishing harder and typically the rainbow trout are easier to catch early in the morning or late in the evening, Preston said. The area has been peaceful for days, the group said, and much of the rain and storm that rolled through the central Kenai Peninsula earlier in the week seemed to skip right over the campground. Peterson Lake sits near Kelly Lake; both can be found on the east side of the

Sterling Highway at Mile 68.3. Anglers will find the area scenic with beavers and river otters keeping the fish company in the water and a variety of birds in June and July including loons, and mallards on the lake and spruce grouse and chickadees in the woods. The scene is similar to many others on the Kenai Peninsula, Jon Preston said. While campgrounds can sometimes fill up fast, typically the lakes are a place to relax and avoid combat fishing. “When the salmon starts running a lot of people forget about the lakes,” he said. In the 28 stocked lakes on the Kenai Peninsula, the Alaska Department of Fish and Game puts populations of coho salmon, rainbow trout, arctic char and arctic grayling. Some of those species can be found in wild lakes on the Kenai Peninsula, as can invasive northern pike which are non-native but still available for harvest.

Jon Preston said he typically fishes with both spinners and fly rods and, as he isn’t looking to eat the fish he catches, with single, barbless hooks and spinners. He suggested spinning rods for most anglers as some of the area lakes are deep and are not easy for inexpert fishers. He waits until Peterson Lake is calm and

glassy so he can use dry flies. “I’m here for the fun of it, it’s something to do,” Jon Preston said. He joked that when the women got tired of hearing him talk, he headed out to fish. Reach Rashah McChesney at rashah. mcchesney@peninsulaclarion.com

For good lake fishing, Jon Preston and Norvell Robertson suggest: Cooper Lake — Near Mile 49 of the Sterling Highway turn on Snug Harbor Road and travel about 12 miles. It’s a large lake with rainbow trout and lake trout. Scout Lake — at Mile 84.9 of the Sterling Highway turn on Scout Lake Loop Road. This site has a day-use picnic area, toilet and water access but no boat ramp. The lake was stocked with rainbow trout and grayling in 2010. Crescent Lake — Turn down Quartz Creek Road near Cooper Landing on the Sterling Highway. The Crescent Lake campground is located at Mile 3 of the road and Crescent Lake is about a 6.5-mile hike from the campground. The summer and fall fisheries for grayling open after July 1. Swanson River Road — located at mile 83.4 of the Sterling Highway, there are nine lakes at various points along the Swanson River Road.

Sockeye salmon still hot for anglers By Kelly Sullivan Peninsula Clarion

Sockeye

Pawluk said the numbers of sockeye salmon coming through would likely remain stable in the near future. Reports of sockeye salmon fishing on the Kasilof has also been very positive, Pawluk said. The bag limit for sockeye salmon is three per day with six in possession; meaning anglers can retain three sockeye salmon per day- three caught before midnight and three after- may be in possession Sockeye salmon can only be fished between the Fish and Game markers placed just downstream of the Russian Ferry crossing, up to the power lines. Sockeye salmon can also be fished on the mainstem of the Kenai and Kasilof rivers, but little success is likely.

Fishing on the Russian river has yielded nothing but success for anglers since it’s opening one week ago, said Alaska Department of Fish and Games assistant management biologist Jason Pawluk. Catches have been particularly good in the confluence area above the sanctuary (which is completely closed to fishing) on the Russian River and below the sanctuary on the Upper Kenai river, Pawluk said. Part of the reason for the success is likely the low water on the Russian river this past week, Pawluk said. However, the sockeye salmon population that have been Trout holding in the Upper Kenai Another big opening last River downstream of the mouth of the Russian River may start week was for resident species to head further up the Russian in the area between Skilak Lake and Torpedo Hole on the Kenai river as the water levels rise.

river, however this yielded fewer successes, Pawluk said. Rainbow trout and Dolly Varden trout are the two resident species most anglers have been after, Pawluk said. Pawluk believes the two species of trout spawned early this summer, and so have already dispersed among the river, which means they are more difficult to catch, Pawluk said. The bag limit for both species is one per day and one in possession, and the fish must be less than 18 inches long.

Kings The only option for fishing king salmon currently is on the Kasilof Kasilof river, Pawluk said. While king salmon fishing was good the second week of June, successful catches have since declined, Pawluk said. This is common for this time of year as the first run of king salmon dwindles until later in the summer, Pawluk said.

Fishing for king salmon on the Kenai river is closed until June 30. Only one hatchery king salmon can be fished on the Kasilof river, and no more than one can be kept per day. Hatchery king salmon are distinguished from natural king salmon by their missing adipose fin. A healed scar will be in its place. The annual limit for king salmon larger than 20-inches in the Cook Inlet is five. No treble hooks, baiting or scents are allowed. Anlgers must use single hook on king salmon.

Important regulations Changes to the king salmon regulations on the lower Kenai Peninsula streams are in effect through June 30: ■ Crooked Creek is closed to all fishing through July 31. ■ The combined annual limit of king salmon 20-inches or

greater in length has been reduced to two from May 1-June 30 in Deep Creek and the Ninilchik River. ■ The Anchor river has been closed to sport fishing, and marine waters south of the latitude line of the Ninilchik River down to the latitude line at Bluff Point are closed to king salmon fishing within one mile of shore. ■ After harvesting a king salmon 20 inches or greater from either the Deep Creek, or the Ninilchik river, anglers must stop fishing in those streams for the rest of the day. ■ Anglers may only use one unbaited, single-hook with an artificial lure on the Anchor River, Deep Creek and Ninilchik River. ■ The Ninilchik River king salmon bag and possession limit is one wild or hatchery-reared fish during regular weekend openings in May and June but beginning July 1, it is reduced to one hatchery-reared king salmon.

Release new album called ‘Heart-Shaped Leaves’ By Kelly Sullivan Peninsula Clarion

ith their new album the Super Saturated Sugar Strings prove they have no trouble crafting a song titled “Sweaty Brow” into a majestic piano-driven serenade. Robb Justice, music coordinator for the Kenai River Festival, and member of local Central Kenai Peninsula band “907”, said the Super Saturated Sugar Strings are one of the most up and coming bands in the state. The opening number on their sophomore album is an excellent introduction of what to expect on “Heart-Shaped Leaves.” It has been two years since the original four- Carlyle Watt, Theresa Anne Watt, Miriah Phelps and Kathryn Moore- released their first full-length album, “Harmonic Toast.” Since then the band has added a new member Logan Bean, and tweaked the arrangement of instrumentation and vocals in their tunes.

While the bands most identifiable genre “alt-folk” still applies, other influences sneak in such as Theresa Anne Watt’s mid 19th Century jazz vocals accompanied by Bean’s mournful trumpet in “Circles.” In the first few numbers from “HeartShaped Leaves,” is a shift from Phelps up-beat fiddle tunes, to the soulful pianodependent compositions carried out by Moore. This trend permeates throughout the album, from the spunky “Because My Heart” to the treacherous, dissonant progressions in “Orpheus.” The lyrical content of “Heart-Shaped Leaves” stayed consistent with a focus on natural imagery, cold wet harbors, cigarettes and love, but is sometimes carriedout through the spoken word, and the Watt’s caramel-like vocals, smoother and more flowing than the previous album. Think “Map Song,” mixed with Patsy Cline. The introduction, and concluding “Car-

nival” incorporate audio recordings, such as a birdsong and crackly, radio filtered recording, adding a new level of depth to the compositions. Without diminishing the quality of “Harmonic Toast,” the Super Saturated Sugar Strings have certainly taken a step forward, and then another to the left with “Heart-Shaped Strings.” They have proven they can produce two solid albums with distinct personalities. However, their previous style was not completely abandoned. The song “Because my heart,” takes you back to their folk-bluegrass, barefoot, moonshinedrinkin’ tunes and “Carnival” offers up their unique raunchy, gypsy-esque style. The CD release will take place Saturday, June 28 at Tap Root Public House in Anchorage. For a full list of tour dates visit: http://www.supersaturatedsugarstrings. com.

2 films make great weekend at movies R eeling It In C hris J enness “How to Train Your Dragon 2” DreamWorks Animation 1 hour, 42 minutes “The Fault in Our Stars” Temple Hill Entertainment 2 hours, 6 minutes Summer is officially upon us and as such I have been faced with the nearly impossible task of trying to choose between all the high profile films currently flooding the theaters. I really wanted to see “22 Jump Street” for a couple of reasons, one being that the original was surprisingly funny, and the other is that it’s directed by Phil Lord and Chris Miller, the guys who brought us “The Lego Movie.” Ultimately, though, it lost out to one family outting and one date night. As a result, this week I saw two movies, “How to Train Your Dragon 2” and “The Fault in Our Stars,” both very good, though I have to say “Fault” suffered from a serious lack of dragons. “How to Train Your Dragon 2” is, at first glance, your typical animated sequel. Retreaded story, bigger dragons, new villain. Surprisingly, the movie goes off in a

few unexpected directions. Taking place five years after the events of the first film, the Viking community of Berk is now a thriving dragon based economy. Everyone has a dragon that they ride, work, or just keep as companions. Peace reigns, and the chief, one Stoic the Vast, is looking to retire and turn over the whole shebang to his son Hiccup, the young Viking who previously changed everybody’s worldview by making friends with a dragon named Toothless. Desiring none of the responsibility of rule, Hiccup has been avoiding his father, riding Toothless beyond the borders of the known world, mapping new territories and finding new settlements of people and dragons. One such outting brings Hiccup and his girlfriend Astrid into contact with perhaps more adventure than they bargained for. First it’s dragon trappers, gathering conscripts for a vast dragon army marshaled by an evil force named Drago Bloodfist. And if that weren’t enough, Hiccup is soon captured by a creature even stranger — one who has a deep secret and no love for Drago. “Dragon” is bigger, more detailed, and more intricately plotted than the original. The animation is better, though the first one had stellar graphics as well, and the level of creativity put into the different dragons and their abilities, not to mention the “costuming” and production design, is very impressive. Where the sequel falls short of the original, however, is in humor. The first film is sweet and funny. This time around it seems they were going more for sweet and dra-

Scientists aren’t sure — it’s not like we can describe sleep while we’re asleep — but we seem to become drowsy because chemicals build up in our brains during wakefulness. The build-up slows down brain activity and soon, it’s lights-out time. Of course, however, it’s not always that easy. Sometimes, we toss and turn. We achieve near-sleep, but worries chase it away.

. . . Art Picasso painting reveals hidden man BY BRETT ZONGKER Associated Press

WASHINGTON — Scientists and art experts finally know what’s beneath one of Pablo Picasso’s first masterpieces, “The Blue Room,” using advances in infrared imagery to reveal a hidden portrait of a bow-tied man with his face resting on his hand. Now the question that conservators at The Phillips Collection in Washington hope to answer is simply: Who is he? It’s a mystery that’s fueling new research about the 1901 painting created early in Picasso’s career while he was working in Paris at the start of his distinctive blue period of melancholy subjects. Curators and conservators revealed the discovery of the portrait for the first time to The Associated Press last week. Experts long suspected there might be something under the surface of “The Blue Room,” which has been part of The Phillips Collection since 1927. Brushstrokes on the piece clearly don’t match the composition that depicts a woman bathing in Picasso’s studio. A conservator noted the odd brushstrokes in a 1954 letter, but it wasn’t until the 1990s that an X-ray of the painting first revealed a fuzzy image of something under the picture. It wasn’t clear, though, that it was a portrait. In 2008, improved infrared imagery revealed for the first time a man’s bearded face resting on his hand with three rings on his fingers. He’s dressed in a jacket and bow tie, painted in a vertical composition. “It’s really one of those moments that really makes what you do special,” said Patricia Favero, the conservator at The Phillips Collection who pieced together the best infrared image yet of the man’s face. “The second reaction was, ‘Well, who is it?’ We’re still working on answering that question.” Scholars have ruled out the possibility that it was a selfportrait. One possible figure is the Paris art dealer Ambrose Villard, who hosted Picasso’s first show in 1901. But there’s no documentation and no clues left on the canvas, so the research continues. Over the past five years, experts from The Phillips Collection, National Gallery of Art, Cornell University and Delaware’s Winterthur Museum have developed a clearer image of the mystery picture under the surface.

A technical analysis confirmed the hidden portrait is a work Picasso likely painted just before “The Blue Room,” curators said. Since the portrait was discovered, conservators have been using other technology to scan the painting for further insights. Favero has been collaborating with other experts to scan the painting with multi-spectral imaging technology and X-ray fluorescence intensity mapping to try to identify and map the colors of the hidden painting. They would like to recreate a digital image approximating the colors Picasso used. Curators are planning the first exhibit focused on “The Blue Room” as a seminal work in Picasso’s career for 2017. It will examine the revelation of the man’s portrait beneath the painting, as well as other Picasso works and his engagement with other artists. For now, “The Blue Room” is part of a tour to South Korea through early 2015 as the research continues. Hidden pictures have been found under other important Picasso paintings. A technical analysis of “La Vie” at the Cleveland Museum of Art revealed Picasso significantly reworked the painting’s composition. And conservators found a portrait of a mustached man beneath Picasso’s painting “Woman Ironing” at the Guggenheim Museum in Manhattan. “When he had an idea, you know, he just had to get it down and realize it,” Phillips curator Susan Behrends Frank told the AP, describing how Picasso had hurriedly painted “The Blue Room” over another complete picture. “He could not afford to acquire new canvases every time he had an idea that he wanted to pursue. He worked sometimes on cardboard because canvas was so much more expensive.” Dorothy Kosinski, the director of The Phillips Collection, said new knowledge about Picasso and his process can be discovered through the hightech collaboration among museums. “Our audiences are hungry for this. It’s kind of detective work. It’s giving them a doorway of access that I think enriches, maybe adds mystery, while allowing them to be part of a piecing together of a puzzle,” she said. “The more we can understand, the greater our appreciation is of its significance in Picasso’s life.”

gort, is a little hard to like at first, at least for me. Somewhat pretentious and pushy, he manages to work his way into Hazel’s heart and the resulting adventures are heartwarming and heartbreaking in equal measures. Though I very much enjoyed the writing and the filming of this movie, the acting is the real shining star. Woodley and Elgort are perfect in their roles, and Woodley shows signs of true greatness. If only she can continue doing more work and less junk like “Divergent.” Joining the lovebirds are excellent smaller performances from Laura Dern, as Hazel’s mother, and Willem Dafoe as a reclusive author hiding out in Amsterdam. “Fault” is definitely a tearjerker, but don’t go in thinking it’s a manipulative weepfest like “Pay it Forward,” one of my all-time least favorite films. “The Fault in Our Stars” has a dry wit — sharp, and never saccharine. Yes, it tugs on your heartstrings, but does so in a remarkably even handed, cleareyed fashion. Low expectations may have played a part, but “The Fault in Our Stars” turns out to be one of the best films I’ve seen in a while. Grade: A “How to Train Your Dragon” is rated PG for cartoon violence, and some scares “The Fault in Our Stars is rated PG-13 for scenes of sensuality, brief language, and adult situations.

sion that the film isn’t appropriate for little kids — mine loved it — just that it no longer seems to be aimed at specifically that target market. What it may lack in laughs, however, “Dragon” makes up in sheer excitement. It’s definitely worth a look. Grade: B While “Dragon” is fun and exciting, “Fault” is downright excellent. I must admit I wasn’t all that jazzed about going to see a movie about two teens with cancer who fall in love and maintain positive attitudes, but I agreed because my wife had just finished the book and because the author of said book is John Green, a writer of young adult drama who also hosts a web series of hilariously inventive short history lessons. Am I glad I went. Eighteen-year-old Hazel Grace, played superbly by Shailene Woodley, has advanced thyroid cancer which as severely damaged her lungs, giving her a limited amount of time left on this planet. She’s understandably negative when it comes to the subject of her cancer, but nevertheless, one of the members of her support group decides to take the plunge and ask her out. Hazel resists for a while, but eventually the two fire up a friendship that is sweet and funny and supportive, but very rarely Chris Jenness is a freelance schmaltzy.

author Kat Duff says she used to wonder why her elders asked such a strange question. The research she shares explains that, and so much more. Using philosophy, science, research, new age beliefs, and personal anecdotes, Duff takes a look at sleep, beginning with the perfect almost-there sweet spot and ending with a good examination of the future of slumber. Along the way, we learn about dreams, drugs, and why your Mom was right when she told you that everything will look better in the morning. Though there were times when I felt as though some of what’s in this book was common knowledge, that doesn’t make it any less interesting. If you’ve ever wondered what goes on behind closed eyes, I think “The Secret Life of Sleep” could be a dream for you.

A nutty way to fix a scratch Dear Heloise: My wood floor has several scratches from furniture and my dog. Is there anything I can do to get rid of them so the floor looks better? — A Reader in Texas There is something you can do! Get a pecan or walnut and break the meat in half. Rub it into the scratch. Make sure you go with the grain of the wood. You should feel the nut get warm. Then buff with a soft cloth. Depending on how deep the scratch is, you may need to repeat the steps. If the nuts don’t work, try using a crayon that matches the color of your floor. — Heloise Hard-water stains Dear Heloise: I have very hard water. I have tried everything to get the buildup off my tub and sink in the bathroom. Any suggestions would be appreciated. — A Reader in Maryland The remedy is as easy as going to your kitchen and grabbing the white household vinegar in your cabinet. Pour the vinegar into a clearly labeled spray bottle and spray the tub and sink (including fixtures). Let soak for at least five minutes before scrubbing and rinsing. Stubborn stains? Cover these with tissue, then soak with vinegar and let sit. Leave on for a while, throw out the tissues and again, scrub and rinse well. I have many more vinegar suggestions in my Heloise’s Fantabulous Vinegar Hints and More pamphlet. To receive one, please send $5 and a long, selfaddressed, stamped (70 cents) envelope to: Heloise/Vinegar, P.O. Box 795001, San Antonio, TX 78279-5001. Another great use for vinegar: Pour a good amount of vinegar into the toilet bowl, leave for five minutes, scrub and flush to remove hard-water stains. — Heloise

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

DEAR ABBY: A childhood friend of mine died from cervical cancer. “Katy” died because she didn’t go to her OB/GYN for annual Pap smears. She was a beautiful, intelligent, talented wife and mother who was responsible in every other way. Katy simply couldn’t face a pelvic exam because throughout her childhood she had been molested by her father. I know it’s true, because her father molested me, too. Katy’s doctor told her that had it been caught in the early stages, her cancer would have been curable. She hadn’t been to see her OB/GYN since her last child was born nine years before. Because of what her father did to her, she was unable to allow anyone other than her husband to touch her. Abby, my friend suffered during the time between her diagnosis and her death. She fought to stay alive for her husband and children, whom she loved with all her heart. But in the end, cancer took her, and her family will suffer for years to come. PLEASE remind every woman and sexually active teenage girl about the importance of a yearly exam. Those who feel they can’t deal with the exams should force themselves to talk to their OB/GYN and explain their fear. Otherwise, the sexual predators win again. I think they should be held accountable for the deaths
