Wal-Mart shooting suspect denied bail By RASHAH MCCHESNEY Peninsula Clarion

A woman facing multiple assault and drug-related charges, was denied a bail motion Tuesday that would have put her on an electronic monitoring system and placed her in a Sterling home with her two children and a man who filed for divorce from her in March. Kenai Superior Court Judge Charles Huguelet denied the request to allow Ashley Nelund, 28, to spend time

with her 3-month-old daughter and her toddler-aged son before her trial begins, citing the extensive criminal history of her husband, Dylan Rink, and the circumstances surrounding Nelund’s arrest. “I’m not approving this, Huguelet said during the hearing. “I’m not going to send her back to possibly an estranged husband, when there’s violence like this and drug charges, so the bail motion is denied.” Before the circumstances of the bail request were

discussed, Huguelet said Nelund’s trial call was scheduled to begin Wednesday and that he had denied any further continuances in the case earlier in July. Nelund, whose primary attorney was not present, was represented by attorney Jaffer Khimani who appeared telephonically and told Huguelet he was there to ask for a bail reduction. He said he had limited information about the case. “OK, but I’m telling you that you’re going to trial,” Huguelet said.

Khimani said Nelund’s other attorney was currently in a trail in Ketchikan. Huguelet said the case had already been continued eight times and would not be allowed to do so again. Khimani said Nelund was close to accepting a plea agreement. According to court records, in the case before Huguelet, Nelund is facing five felony charges including attempted Murder 1, stemming from a 2013 shooting in the parking lot of the Kenai Wal-Mart.

ConocoPhillips, Doyon announce new drilling rig

ANCHORAGE — ConocoPhillips Alaska and oil field contractor Doyon Drilling have announced plans to build a new rotary drilling rig for the Kuparuk River unit on the North Slope. KTUU says the new rig will be the first to be added to Kuparuk’s fleet in 14 years. The companies announced the new contract Monday for construction of the rig, which will be named Doyon 142. Drilling is slated to begin in February 2016. Doyon Drilling is a subsidiary of Doyon Ltd., the Fairbanks-based regional Native corporation.

Children adrift in boat rescued ANCHORAGE — Three children have been rescued after going adrift in their family’s small boat in a southeast Alaska harbor. The Coast Guard says the boys were wearing life jackets and stayed calm after going adrift in the skiff Monday in Saxman Harbor near Ketchikan. Water conditions were calm. Ketchikan police notified the Coast Guard that the parents of the boys reported the children had gone adrift. A Coast Guard response boat crew found the children and safely delivered them to their parents, with the skiff in tow. Petty Officer 1st Class Matthew Degnon says the crew was able to arrive at the scene within three minutes. — The Associated Press

Soldotna adopts records retention schedule

In the news

That case is scheduled to go to trial August 4. Neland is facing two further felony charges of possessing and delivering heroin. That case is scheduled to go to trial August 11. Khimani said the primary reason for the bail reduction request was to allow Nelund to spend time with her children. “She has been in custody since November,” he said. “She’ll be accepting a plea agreement soon and this pro-

Gov. Sean Parnell shakes hands with Rep. Paul Seaton, R-Homer, after signing House Bill 75 on Tuesday at the Snowshoe Gun Club. The bill amends the Pick. Click. Give program to no longer require organizations with a budget of more than $250,000 to be audited. It also allows Alaskans to donate a portion of their permanent fund dividend to sustain the program.

Gov. signs bills at gun club, Tesoro By KAYLEE OSOWSKI Peninsula Clarion

Changes to big game hunting regulations, Permanent Fund Dividend donations and Alaska’s refineries tax breaks were finalized Tuesday as Gov. Sean Parnell continues his bill-signing tour of the state. Elected officials, representatives of organizations and companies as well as affected members of the public gathered together to see Parnell sign three bills into law on the

Kenai Peninsula. Parnell visited the Snowshoe Gun Club along the Kenai Spur Highway between Kenai and Soldotna in the morning to autograph Senate Bill 77 and House Bill 75. In the afternoon he made his way to Tesoro Corp.’s Nikiski refinery to sign HB 287.

Hunting time The gun club was a fitting setting for the signing of SB 77, which encourages

big game hunting with children. The bill allows for the Alaska Board of Game to establish annual seasons when only Alaska resident children between the ages of 8 and 17 can take big game when hunting with their resident parents, grandparents or legal guardians. Sen. Peter Micciche, RSoldotna, was one of the sponsors of the bill. He said he became interested in the bill because of the Teens on Target program offered by the gun club.

“In this time where we’re having reduced access to public lands and we’re seeing less and less young people being interested in hunting, I think it was an extremely important bill,” Micciche said.

Considering cannabis Residents talk THC during chamber luncheon By RASHAH MCCHESNEY Peninsula Clarion

A joint Kenai and Soldotna chamber luncheon was awash in marijuana slang and freshbaked brownies Tuesday as the merits of a ballot measure to legalize the substance in Alaska were debated. About 30 people gathered to hear Taylor Bickford, a representative from the Campaign to Regulate Marijuana Like Alcohol and Tom Tougas, of Big Marijuana. Big Mistake, discuss Ballot Measure 2, which will allow voters to decide in November whether Alaska should beSee DEBATE, page A-14

Tom Tougas, a representative from Big Marijuana. Big Mistake, talks about the marketing of marijuana “edibles” Tuesday at the Soldotna Regional Sports Complex in Soldotna. Tougas, whose organization opposes Ballot Measure 2 which would legalize and regulate marijuana use in the state, said the marketing of “edibles” using cartoon characters and candy could be interpreted as targeting children.

The City of Soldotna finalized its retention schedule for city records and documents two years after the project was identified as a top priority. The schedule specifies how long a record is stored by the city and when it becomes obsolete, according to the original ordinance. A document is filed as having a certain value such as historical, legal, or financial and the period it will be retained is dependent on its value. “To effectively manage city records a records retention schedule is necessary,” according to a memo from Soldotna City Clerk Shellie Saner to City Manager Mark Dixson. Since the city was already handling it’s records retention procedures in accordance with the State of Alaska Local Government Model General Administrative Records Retention Schedule, the public will not notice any changes to the system, Saner said. However, developing a full scheduling document specialized the scheduling process to fit the needs of the City, Saner said. The local government model recommends a minimum for retention periods, Saner said. The city found that the minimum retention recommended for many records was not long enough to meet the needs of the city. The state model was developed for all types of local governments, so it contains many record types that are not generated by Soldotna, Saner said. Those were left out of the city schedule. The bulk of the work has taken place over the last year, Saner said. City department directors and Deputy Clerk Heather Dukowitz assisted Saner throughout the project. Dixson identified the project as a top priority when Saner accepted the position as city clerk in June, 2013. The original ordinance specifies that 30 days prior to the destruction of an obsolete record the records manager will circulate the records to each department head in city hall for commentary on the listing of all records and the destruction dates. “Destroying records that See CITY, page A-14

Mars rover holds offEarth distance record PASADENA, Calif. (AP) — The odometer of NASA’s Mars rover Opportunity has hit 25.01 miles, breaking the record for off-Earth distance traveled. NASA officials said Monday that Opportunity drove 157 feet over the weekend, which was enough to surpass the miles covered by the Soviet Union’s Lunokhod 2 rover. NASA project manager John Callas says Opportunity was only intended to drive about 1 kilometer and was not designed for distance. He says the rover has driven farther than any other wheeled vehicle on another world. NASA says if the rover hits 26.2 miles, it will reach the next major investigation site that scientists refer to as “Marathon Valley” — because it will have traveled the distance of a marathon.

Cooper was born October 22, 2012 in Anchorage, Alaska. He loved sucking his thumb, chasing and wrestling his brothers and coloring on himself while laughing. The family wrote, “Cooper was the happiest baby ever! He loved playing with his 3 big brothers. Every night he would find his thumb, find his blankie, and play peek-a-boo with mom and dad. He laughed at just about every sound. He mastered the stairs and chasing Corey and Zeek the dog. He gave the best kisses ever, sometimes followed by a bite. (He was a good kisser and a biter). Cooper had a signature run and could swing his arm like nobody’s business. This baby had some dance moves too. Cooper was loved dearly by his family and friends and will always be missed.” He was preceded in death by his great-grandparents, Taylor and Beulah Alkire and Peanut Rice. He is survived by his parents, Ryan and Wendy Rice of Soldotna; brothers, Keith, Kyle, and Corey Rice all of Soldotna; grandparents, Ronnie and Ronda Rice of Salina, OK, Doug and Katie Guthals of Nathrop, CO and Linda Guthals of Gower, MO.

What Others Say

Listen to state elders’ knowledge There’s an old saying attributed to

the Native people of Alaska’s panhandle: “A tall tree has fallen.” It’s a metaphor commenting on the passing of a prominent figure in the community, and every so often it sees re-use when an elder or a state leader passes. Such an occurrence took place earlier this month with the death of Native leader Don Wright, who was a prominent figure both in state politics and Native affairs for more than half of his 84 years living in the Interior. He was a tall tree indeed. Mr. Wright began his activism on behalf of the Native community in the 1960s, when he worked to organize the Alaska Federation of Natives. It’s hard to imagine the state now without the organization, which speaks louder than any other in addressing Native issues in Alaska. Mr. Wright was president of AFN in 1971, when he helped draft the landmark Alaska Native Claims Settlement Act signed into law by President Richard Nixon. ANCSA granted 44 million acres of land and $962.5 million to Alaska’s Native people in compensation for their land claims in the state — the act was also responsible for the establishing of the Native corporations that now play large roles in communities around the state. It’s been a difficult year for leaders in the Native community, as many who played foundational advocacy roles are now of an age that their numbers are dwindling. Mr. Wright joined education leader Bernice Joseph, who died in January after blazing a trail in the field of higher education. At the time of her death, Ms. Joseph was the vice chancellor for rural and community education at the University of Alaska Fairbanks, but — as a speaker at her memorial joked — to the Native people, she was the president of the University of Alaska. And only a few days ago, elder Dorothy Perdue died here in Fairbanks — the wife of Frank Perdue, an Athabascan tribal advocate and founder of the Fairbanks Native Association, she saw many changes for her people over the course of her lifetime. To have so many leaders still living who played a role in formative times in Alaska’s history is a virtue of being a young state. Admitted to the union in 1959, Alaska is joined by only Hawaii as a state whose founders — some of them, at least — are still around to give input on present issues. A handful of delegates to the Alaska Constitutional Convention are still around, and perhaps not surprisingly, some are still active in politics. Though Jack Coghill and Vic Fischer, two of those figures, may not see eye to eye on too many political issues, it’s hard to dispute that both are a tremendous asset as a sort of conscience for the state and representatives of one of Alaska’s greatest political triumphs. As the years pass, we will have fewer and fewer of these tall trees around to grace us with their wealth of experience, and before long we will find ourselves as the first generation of Alaskans who have to chart our own course without the founders of the state and its greatest institutions to guide us. If we take the time to listen and absorb the lessons that these elders can teach us, we’ll be ready to shoulder that tremendous responsibility when it comes.

Lifetime judicial politicians

Those who run our court system and claim that it can dispense justice in an impartial way hate even the slightest suggestion that politics might influence their decisions. A few years back, after a federal district court decision with major political implications, I mentioned in a story that the judge had been nominated to the bench by a Republican president. Later that day, I got an email from him directly, complaining that my reporting left an impression that his ruling had been influenced by his ideology. Actually, I had taken great pains to mention only that fact, leaving it to the audience to decide whether it was relevant. Normally a judge wouldn’t think of communicating his displeasure directly. Sometimes a minion would do it, or he or she would complain to associates or simply seethe in private. At the time, I responded that I’d be happy to offer him television time to respond. Frankly, I was being unfair, because those on the federal bench can get in a heap of trouble if they go on TV or make any extrajudicial comment in media. So, in truth, I was telling his honor that while I always welcome viewer comments, he should bug off. Besides, as the lawyers would say, the prima facie evidence suggests that our judges are indeed heavily influenced by their political philosophies, and that many of their decisions are distorted by them. We certainly don’t have to look very hard. The Supreme Court is openly divided into

Classic Doonesbury, 1975

“Funding for veterans’ needs must be considered a ‘cost of war’ and appropriated as emergency spending. Planes and tanks and guns are a cost of war. So is taking care of the men and women who fight our battles.” — Sen. Bernie Sanders, I-Vt., after a bipartisan deal that would authorize about $17 billion to enhance health care for veterans.

Actually, the official website of the United States Courts states, “The work of the federal courts touches upon many of the most significant issues affecting the American people, and federal judges exercise wide authority and discretion in the cases over which they preside.” So a president’s most important legacy is his picks for the federal bench. The judges and justices are there for life, unless they do something so egregious that they’re impeached in the House of Representatives, convicted by the Senate and removed. It’s happened just eight times in U.S. history. As tough as it is to change the Constitution, perhaps we need to revisit lifetime tenure. Certainly the independence of the federal bench has led to decisions that have righted many wrongs in our society. The civil-rights rulings in the face of popular passions are a shining example. And Founding Father Alexander Hamilton himself argued that appointments for life were “the best expedient which can be devised in any government, to secure a steady, upright and impartial administration of the laws.” The question is whether we can count on that impartiality or whether it’s just a myth passed on by judges who are, after all, fallible human beings -- and obviously political ones.

Quotable

conservative and liberal blocs, with one guy, Anthony Kennedy, out there as the supposed swing vote. Granted, some of the justices can express their predispositions in unpredictable ways, but they Bob Franken are obviously guided by their right or left leanings. Chief Justice John Roberts’ claim during his confirmation hearing that they’re ideally an “umpire,” has become a laugh line, except maybe to the real ones in baseball. And it’s not only the Supremes. We’ve just been exposed to the sad spectacle of two different federal appeals courts making diametrically opposed rulings on whether insurance subsidies for Obamacare are legal in the 36 states that were forced to rely on federal exchanges to enroll customers for health insurance. If not, it could gut the Affordable Care Act. The arguments were the same: six judges on two courts heard them. Then, every one followed the party line. On the D.C. Circuit, it was 2-to-1 against the subsidies, two Republican appointees against, the Democrat for. In Richmond at the 4th Circuit, all three judges were Democrats, and all three ruled the subsidies were lawful -- an amazing coincidence.

Around the World White House, privacy groups like Leahy’s version better than a House bill WASHINGTON — Sen. Patrick Leahy on Tuesday introduced a bill to end the National Security Agency’s bulk collection of phone records, a proposal that goes further than a similar House measure and has drawn support from civil liberties groups, the White House and Republicans. The bill represents the latest step in fulfilling a January promise by President Barack Obama to end the NSA’s collection of domestic calling records. If enacted, it would represent the most significant change to come in the wake of the leaks of once-secret surveillance programs by former NSA systems administrator Edward Snowden. The measure was co-sponsored by Republicans, including Sen. Ted Cruz of Texas. It would not affect most NSA surveillance, which operates under different authorities than the Patriot Act provision under which the agency was collecting telephone calling records. “This is an historic opportunity, and I am grateful that the bill has the support of the administration, a wide range of privacy and civil liberties groups, and the technology industry,” said Leahy, D-Vermont, judiciary committee chairman.

House Republicans set Thursday vote on $659 million bill for border crisis WASHINGTON — House Republicans unveiled a slimmed-down bill Tuesday to address the immigration crisis on the U.S.-Mexico border by sending in National Guard troops and speeding migrant youths back home. The electionyear measure would allow Republicans to say they tried to solve the humanitarian problem in South Texas, even though it stands no chance of becoming law. The bill would cost $659 million through the final two months of this fiscal year, far less than the $3.7 billion requested by President Barack Obama for this year and next, and a sharp reduction from the $1.5 billion initially proposed by the House spending committee. The cuts were designed to win over skeptical conservatives and give lawmakers something they could pass before leaving Washington at week’s end for their annual August recess. The measure also includes policy changes rejected by most Democrats that would allow unaccompanied youths who’ve been arriving by the tens of thousands from Central America to be turned around quickly at the border and sent back home. “I think there’s sufficient support in the House to move this bill,” House Speaker John Boehner told reporters after meeting with rank-and-file lawmakers on the issue, though he said there was more work to do. A vote was set for Thursday.

US appeals court keeps Mississippi’s last abortion clinic open; rights need protection JACKSON, Miss. — Mississippi’s effort to close its last abortion clinic was overturned in federal appellate court on Tuesday. Advocates for the law said women with unwanted pregnancies could always travel to other states, but the judges said every state must guarantee constitutional rights, including abortion. The 5th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals voted 2-1 to block Mississippi’s 2012 law requiring abortion doctors to obtain admitting privileges at nearby hospitals. Ten states have adopted similar laws, forcing a growing number of clinics to close. Many hospitals ignore or reject abortion doctors’ applications, and won’t grant privileges to out-of-state physicians. Both obstacles were encountered by the traveling doctors who staff Mississippi’s last clinic, the Jackson Women’s Health Organization. — The Associated Press

Nation Some balk at $1,000 pill By RICARDO ALONSO-ZALDIVAR Associated Press

WASHINGTON — The price is sky-high, but so is demand. A new $1,000-per-pill drug has become the treatment of choice for Americans with hepatitis C, a liver-wasting disease that affects more than 3 million. Even with insurers reluctant to pay, Sovaldi prescriptions have eclipsed those for all other hepatitis C pills combined in a matter of months, new data from IMS Health indicate. The promise of a real cure, with fewer nasty side effects, has prompted thousands to get treated. But clinical and commercial successes are also triggering scrutiny for the drug’s manufacturer, California-based Gilead Sciences Inc., which just reported second-quarter profits of $3.66 billion, or a net margin of 56 percent. Two senators have unearthed documents that suggest the initial developers of Sovaldi considered pricing it at less than half as much. The health insurance industry is publicly scolding Gilead, and state Medicaid programs are pushing back. The repercussions go beyond one drug and one disease. A number of promising cancer medications near approval could be drawn into the storm over costs.

‘You can’t put too fine a point on the sort of moral dilemma that we have here,” “This is something that the researchbased pharmaceutical industry reaches for all the time: a cure. But when they achieve one, can we afford it?’ — Michael Kleinrock, director of IMS Institute “You can’t put too fine a point on the sort of moral dilemma that we have here,” said Michael Kleinrock, director of the IMS Institute, which studies prescription drug trends. “This is something that the researchbased pharmaceutical industry reaches for all the time: a cure. But when they achieve one, can we afford it?” New data from IMS Health, the parent company of the institute, illustrate Sovaldi’s impact since its December debut: —The number of pharmacy prescriptions for all hepatitis C pills has soared, highlighting demand. In May, more than 48,000 prescriptions were filled for four such medications, with Sovaldi accounting for threefourths of the total. Compare that to prescriptions for May 2013, before Sovaldi became available, which totaled about 6,200. —In Sovaldi’s first 30 weeks on the market, 62,000 new patients tried the drug, nearly three times as many as had tried an earlier medication

that showed promise. That makes Sovaldi the most successful launch for any hepatitis C drug. Gilead expects to have a successor soon that will make treatment easier to tolerate, because it won’t require patients to take companion medications with strong side effects. —The weekly number of new patients going on Sovaldi has been gradually slowing, from more than 2,900 in February and March to about 1,6001,800 in late June and early July. Kleinrock said that could indicate that pent-up initial demand is giving way to steadier levels, or it could mean that insurers are limiting access to protect their budgets. Hepatitis C surpassed AIDS as a cause of death in the U.S. in 2007, claiming an estimated 15,000 lives that year. The illness is complex, with distinct virus types requiring different treatments. While it advances gradually, it can ultimately destroy the liver, and transplants average $577,000.

The cost of a 12-week regimen of Sovaldi along with two companion medications that patients must also take is around $100,000. Competing regimens with other drugs cost in the mid- to high five figures, and some are far less effective and harder to tolerate. Hepatitis C is a public health concern, since the disease can be transmitted by contact with infected blood, by drug users sharing needles, and sometimes through sexual activity. Many people are unaware that they carry the virus. Health officials advise all baby boomers to get tested. At Mount Sinai Health System’s liver clinic in New York City, patient advocate Angela Woody said Sovaldi has brightened the outlook for patients. But it takes effort to get insurance approval. “We have had to jump through a great deal of hoops,” Woody said. “We have two patients who applied in January and did not actually go on the medication until April.”

Jury awards Ventura $1.8M in defamation case By STEVE KARNOWSKI Associated Press

ST. PAUL, Minn. — Former Minnesota Gov. Jesse Ventura won $1.8 million Tuesday in his two-year fight to prove he was defamed by a military sniper and best-selling author who claimed to have punched out Ventura at a bar for badmouthing the Navy SEALs. A federal jury sided with Ventura in his lawsuit against “American Sniper” author Chris Kyle, who was killed last year in Texas. Though Ventura honed a tough-guy reputation as a pro wrestler and action movie actor, he maintained the legal battle was about clearing his name among his beloved fellow Navy SEALs, not about losing a supposed fight. Kyle — reputed to be the deadliest sniper in U.S. mili-

tary history — said in his memoir that he punched Ventura in California in 2006 after Ventura said the SEALs “deserved to lose a few” in Iraq. Ventura disputed that the confrontation, including the punch, ever happened. Ventura wasn’t present for the verdict and didn’t immediately return messages left at his home. His attorney, David Bradley Olson, said Ventura felt there were “no real winners in this trial.” “He’s certainly grateful for the verdict, but his reputation with an entire generation of young SEALs may never be

repaired,” Olsen said, adding, “It is a victory in the sense that the jury did tell the world that Chris Kyle’s story is a lie and was a fabrication.” Jurors declined to comment to reporters as they left the courthouse. They deliberated for five days before telling the judge Monday they didn’t believe they could reach a unanimous verdict, but were told to keep trying. Tuesday’s resolution came only after attorneys for both sides agreed to allow a verdict if eight of 10 jurors agreed. John Borger, an attorney for Kyle’s estate, said the fam-

ily would consider an appeal. He faced questions about why he agreed to a non-unanimous verdict when the jury appeared close to being hung. “That was a strategic call, which seemed appropriate at the time,” Borger said. Legal experts had said Ventura had to clear a high legal bar to win, because as a public figure he had to prove actual malice. The jury was instructed that Ventura had to prove that Kyle either knew or believed what he wrote was untrue, or that he harbored serious doubts about its truth.

Poll: Immigration concerns rise with tide of kids By CHRISTOPHER SHERMAN and JENNIFER AGIESTA Associated Press

McALLEN, Texas — For nearly two months, images of immigrant children who have crossed the border without a parent, only to wind up in concrete holding cells once in the United States, have tugged at heartstrings. Yet most Americans now say U.S. law should be changed so they can be sent home quickly, without a deportation hearing. A new Associated Press-GfK poll finds two-thirds of Americans now say illegal immigration is a serious problem for the country, up 14 points since May and on par with concern about the issue in May 2010, when Arizona’s passage of a strict anti-immigration measure brought the issue to national prominence. Nearly two-thirds, 62 percent, say immigration is an important issue for them personally, a figure that’s up 10 points since March. President Barack Obama’s approval rating for his handling of immigration dropped in the poll, with just 31 percent approving of his performance on the issue, down from 38 percent in May. More than 57,000 unaccompanied immigrant children have illegally entered the country

since October. Most of the children hail from Honduras, Guatemala and El Salvador, where gang violence is pervasive. Many are seeking to reunite with a parent already living in the United States. Since initially calling the surge an “urgent humanitarian situation” in early June, Obama has pressed Central American leaders to stem the flow and has asked Congress for $3.7 billion in new money to hire more immigration judges, build more detention space and process children faster. House Republicans on Tuesday put forward a bill costing $659 million through the final two months of the fiscal year that would send National Guard troops to the U.S.-Mexico border and allow authorities to deport children more quickly. By a 2-to-1 margin, Americans oppose the current process for handling unaccompanied minors crossing the border, which requires that those who are not from Mexico or Canada stay in the U.S. and receive a hearing before a judge before they can be deported. Changing the law to allow all children crossing illegally to be sent back without such a hearing drew support from 51 percent of those polled. Obama’s proposal for emergency funding, in comparison,

‘My heart goes out to them. It needs to be done only because we need to send a message saying our borders are closed. You need to apply for citizenship. You need to apply to come to the United States. You can’t just cross the border illegally.’ — Santiago Moncada, 65-year-old Austin resident was favored by 32 percent and opposed by 38 percent. Santiago Moncada, a 65-year-old Austin resident who is retired from a state human resources job, said he had considered both proposals and ultimately believes the children need to be deported. “My heart goes out to them,” said Moncada, a political independent originally from the border city of Eagle Pass. “It needs to be done only because we need to send a message saying our borders are closed. You need to apply for citizenship. You need to apply to come to the United States. You can’t just cross the border illegally. “My problem is, ‘Who’s going to take care of them?’” Moncada said. “There comes a time when we have to say enough is enough.”

Moncada, however, does support creating a pathway to citizenship for many of the 11 million immigrants who already entered the country illegally. He said many are contributing and should be given a way to become citizens. A majority of Americans still support such a path to citizenship, though that has slipped to 51 percent from 55 percent in May. Strong opposition to that proposal grew to 25 percent in the new poll from 19 percent in May. Patricia Thompson’s life has intersected in myriad ways with immigration over the years. She was living in South Florida when thousands of Cubans crossed the Florida Straits fleeing communism. Her son helped build part of the border fence near San Diego with the

National Guard. And as an assistant professor of nursing and a college student adviser for four decades, she counseled many immigrant students. In some cases, those students had been brought to the U.S. illegally as children by their parents, said Thompson, 76, who recently relocated to Florence, Alabama, from Little Rock, Arkansas. “Those kids certainly deserve an immigration chance,” Thompson said, adding that that issue needs to be resolved before the country moves on to another. For the unaccompanied children crossing the border more recently, Thompson said they should be sent back. “We’ve got to stop this,” said Thompson, who identified herself as a Republican, but said she thought highly of some of Democratic governors in Arkansas. “We can’t take care of the whole world.” The poll found that most people — 53 percent — believe the U.S. does not have a moral obligation to offer asylum to people fleeing violence or political persecution.

Senate bill would end NSA phone records collection By KEN DILANIAN AP Intelligence Writer

WASHINGTON — Sen. Patrick Leahy on Tuesday introduced a bill to end the National Security Agency’s bulk collection of phone records, a proposal that goes further than a similar House measure and has drawn support from civil liberties groups, the White House and Republicans. The bill represents the latest step in fulfilling a January promise by President Barack Obama to end the NSA’s collection of domestic calling records. If enacted, it would represent the most significant change to come in the wake of the leaks of once-secret surveillance programs by former NSA systems administrator Edward Snowden. The measure was co-sponsored by Republicans, including Sen. Ted Cruz of Texas.

‘This is an historic opportunity, and I am grateful that the bill has the support of the administration, a wide range of privacy and civil liberties groups, and the technology industry.’ — Leahy, D-Vermont, judiciary committee chairman. It would not affect most Leahy’s bill drew praise fro NSA surveillance, which oper- the American Civil Liberties ates under different authorities Association and other activist than the Patriot Act provision groups because it tightened a under which the agency was collecting telephone calling records. “This is an historic opportunity, and I am grateful that the bill has the support of the administration, a wide range of privacy and civil liberties groups, and the technology industry,” said Leahy, D-Vermont, judiciary committee chairman.

The House bill included a vaguely worded definition that some believed continued to allow bulk collection of American records, something the bills are designed to curb. Both bills allow the NSA to request the U.S. calling data from the phone companies in terrorism investigations after a secret order of the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Court. The difference is that it will be

lative Office. Cruz said, “Republicans and Democrats are showing America that the government can respect the privacy rights of law-abiding citizens, while at the same time, giving law enforcement the tools needed to target terrorists.”

Israel hits symbols of Hamas rule; 128 killed IBRAHIM BARZAK and YOUSUR ALHLOU Associated Press

GAZA CITY, Gaza Strip — Israel unleashed its heaviest air and artillery assault of the Gaza war on Tuesday, destroying key symbols of Hamas control, shutting down the territory’s only power plant and leaving at least 128 Palestinians dead on the bloodiest day of the 22-day conflict. Despite devastating blows that left the packed territory’s 1.7 million people cut off from power and water and sent the overall death toll soaring past 1,200, Hamas’ shadowy military leader remained defiant as he insisted that the Islamic militants would not cease fire until its demands are met. The comments by Mohammed Deif in an audiotape broadcast on a Hamas satellite TV channel cast new doubt on international cease-fire efforts. Aides to Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas said Egypt was trying to bring Israeli and Palestinian delegations together in Cairo for new talks in which Hamas would be presented this time as part of the Palestinian team. Israel’s final objective in Gaza remained unclear a day after Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu warned Israelis to be prepared for a “prolonged” war. Netanyahu is under pressure from hawkish members of his coalition to topple Hamas

in an all-out offensive, but has not let on whether he plans to go beyond destroying Hamas rocket launchers, weapons depots and military tunnels used to infiltrate Israel and smuggle weapons. Dozens of Israeli airstrikes and heavy tank shelling hit areas across Gaza, which was plunged into complete darkness Tuesday night after a strike on its sole power plant set a fuel tank ablaze. In the sprawling Jebaliya refugee camp in northern Gaza, at least 24 people — 10 of them from the same family — were killed and dozens wounded in a barrage of tank fire, Hamas health officials said. “Tanks were firing in all directions and shrapnel was flying,” said Moussa al-Mabhouh, a volunteer for Gaza’s Civil Defense. “Smoke was rising from houses and from nearby workshops.” In one incident, shrapnel from a strike in Jebaliya hit near a car with U.N. markings, killing an employee of a U.N. aid agency and his brother, and wounding the man’s 12-yearold son, said agency spokesman Adnan Abu Hasna. The Israeli military has said it is targeting Hamas command centers, along with rocket launchers and weapons arsenals, but has not provided explanations when asked about specific strikes in which many members of a single family were killed. On Tuesday, multiple mem-

‘Tanks were firing in all directions and shrapnel was flying. Smoke was rising from houses and from nearby workshops.’ — Moussa al-Mabhouh, volunteer for Gaza’s Civil Defense bers of at least five families were pulled from the rubble after airstrikes and tank shells struck their homes, including the mayor of the Bureij refugee camp, his 70-year-old father and three relatives, according to Palestinian health officials. In all, at least 1,229 Palestinians have been killed, including 128 on Tuesday, making it the single deadliest day since the start of fighting on July 8, said Palestinian health official Ashraf al-Kidra. More than 7,000 have been wounded, he said. Israel says it has lost 53 soldiers, along with two Israeli civilians and a Thai national. Despite the heavy Palestinian losses, Deif, the commander of the Hamas military wing, said fighting would continue. “There is not going to be a cease-fire as long as the demands of our people are not fulfilled,” he said. Hamas has demanded that Israel and Egypt lift a border blockade they imposed on Gaza after Hamas seized the territory in 2007. Over the past year, Egypt has further tightened re-

strictions, shutting down hundreds of smuggling tunnels under the Egypt-Gaza border that had provide crucial tax income to Hamas. The closure of the tunnels drove Hamas into a severe financial crisis. Deif’s voice was recognizable in the audio statement on Al-Aqsa TV. He has survived repeated Israeli assassination attempts and has operated from hiding for years. Al-Aqsa also broadcast a videotape it said showed an infiltration by Hamas fighters into Israel on Monday through a border tunnel. The footage showed armed Palestinians climbing out of a hole in the ground and attacking an Israeli guard post near the border. They were then seen fleeing back down the hole. The Israeli military said Hamas infiltrated Israeli territory near a communal farm and killed five soldiers on guard nearby. A Hamas gunman was also killed in the attack. Israeli media reported a soldier shot and killed him while he was dragging one of the bodies back to the tunnel.

The military said Palestinian militants fired at least 64 rockets Tuesday at Israeli cities. Israel has said its troops will not leave Gaza until they have demolished the sophisticated network of Hamas attack tunnels under the Gaza-Israel border and inflicted major damage on the group’s arsenal and rocket launchers. Meanwhile, the miserable living condition of Gaza’s 1.7 million people deteriorated even further after two Israeli tank shells struck one of three fuel tanks of Gaza’s only power plant. The hit set off a massive fire, and a column of thick putrid smoke rose from the site for hours. “We need at least one year to repair the power plant, the turbines, the fuel tanks and the control room,” said Fathi Sheik Khalil of the Gaza Energy Authority. “Everything was burned.” The shutdown meant that Gaza has an 80 percent deficit of electricity, said Sari Bashi of the Israeli rights group Gisha. Widespread power outages also disrupt water supplies because electricity is needed to operate water pumps. In Gaza, about 1.2 million have no access to running water, she said. Maher Salem of the utilities department in the Gaza City municipality said about 600,000 of the city’s 800,000 residents were facing water problems. “But the most catastrophic issue for us, which is the ticking

bomb, is that once we have run out of fuel (for back-up generators), we have to shut down the waste water treatment,” he said, adding that fuel would last up to four more days. In Washington, State Department spokeswoman Jen Psaki said the Obama administration urges “all parties to respect the civilian nature of these facilities.” The Israeli military has not commented on the shelling of the power plant. Earlier Tuesday, Israeli warplanes carried out dozens of attacks, leveling the home of the top Hamas leader in Gaza, Ismail Haniyeh, and damaging the offices of the movement’s Al-Aqsa satellite TV station, a central mosque in Gaza City and government offices. Haniyeh’s house, in a narrow alley of the Shati refugee camp, was reduced to rubble but no one was hurt. Residents placed a large framed portrait of Haniyeh atop the wreckage and draped it with green Hamas flags and Palestinian national banners. Israel has targeted several homes of Hamas leaders but so far none has been killed. Haniyeh said in a statement Tuesday that “destroying stones will not break our determination.” Meanwhile, two aides to Abbas said the Palestinian leader and the top Hamas official in exile, Khaled Mashaal, are trying to put together a joint delegation that would present Palestinian demands in future cease-fire talks in Cairo.

US, Europe impose tough new sanctions on Russia JULIE PACE and JOHN-THOR DAHLBURG Associated Press

WASHINGTON — Spurred to action by the downing of the Malaysian airliner, the European Union approved dramatically tougher economic sanctions Tuesday against Russia, including an arms embargo and restrictions on state-owned banks. President Barack Obama swiftly followed with an expansion of U.S. penalties targeting key sectors of the Russian economy. The coordinated sanctions were aimed at increasing pressure on Russian President Vladimir Putin to end his country’s support for separatists in eastern Ukraine whom the West blames for taking down the passenger jet nearly two weeks ago. Obama and U.S. allies also warned that Russia was building up troops and weaponry along its border with Ukraine. “Today Russia is once again isolating itself from the international community, setting back decades of genuine progress,” Obama said. “It does not have to be this way. This a choice Russia and President Putin has made.” Tuesday’s announcements followed an intense lobbying effort from Obama aimed at getting European leaders to toughen their penalties on Russia and match earlier U.S. sanctions. Europe has a far stronger economic relationship with Russian than the U.S., but EU leaders have been reluctant to impose harsh penalties in part because of concern about a negative impact on their own economies. However, Europe’s calculus shifted sharply after a surfaceto-air missile brought down the passenger jet, killing nearly 300 people including more than 200 Europeans. Obama and his counterparts from Britain, France, Germany and Italy finalized plans to announce the broader sanctions Monday in an unusual joint video conference. European Union President Herman Van Rompuy and the president of the European Commission, Jose Manuel Barroso, said the sanctions sent a “strong warning” that Russia’s

destabilization of Ukraine cannot be tolerated. “When the violence created spirals out of control and leads to the killing of almost 300 innocent civilians in their flight from the Netherlands to Malaysia, the situation requires urgent and determined response,” the two top EU officials said in a statement. Despite the West’s escalation of its actions against Russia, Obama said the U.S. and Europe were not entering into Soviet-style standoff with Russia. “It’s not a new cold war,” he said in response to a reporter’s question. Still, U.S. officials say sanctions already rippling through Russia are having a detrimental impact on the country’s economy. Russia’s growth projections have been downgraded, and Obama said $100 billion in capital was already expected to flee Russia even before Tuesday’s joint U.S.-European announcements. The sanctions, Obama said, “have made a weak Russian economy even weaker.” Yet it remains uncertain whether the tougher penalties will have any impact on Russia’s actions in Ukraine — nor was it clear what other actions the U.S. and Europe were willing to take if the situations remains unchanged. U.S. officials said they believe economic pressure remains their most effective tool, and Obama reiterated his opposition to sending lethal aid to the Ukrainian military. The new European penalties a ban on the unapproved sale to the Russians of technology that has dual military and civilian uses or is particularly sensitive, such as advanced equipment used in deep-sea and Arctic oil drilling. The EU also approved

‘Today Russia is once again isolating itself from the international community, setting back decades of genuine progress. It does not have to be this way. This a choice Russia and President Putin has made.’ — President Obama an arms embargo, though it would not restrict past agreements, allowing France to go forward with the delivery of two warships to Russia, a deal that has been sharply criticized by the U.S. and Britain. To restrict Russia’s access to Europe’s money markets, EU citizens and banks will be barred from purchasing certain bonds or stocks issued by stateowned Russian banks, according to EU officials.

The specific targets of the EU actions will be published Thursday, when they will take effect. U.S. officials said they expected Europe’s list of targets to include some of the same energy companies, defense entities and financial institutions the Obama administration hit with sanctions the day before the Malaysian airliner was shot out of the sky. The White House has been pressing Europe in

recent days to bring its penalties in line with the U.S., both to increase the economic pressure on Moscow and present a united Western front. As part of that effort, Obama also announced an expansion of the U.S. sanctions on Russian economic sectors. Among the targets were three major Russian banks: the Bank of Moscow, Russian Agricultural Bank and VTB Bank, Russia’s second largest bank. Administration officials said 30 percent of the Russian banking sector’s assets were now targeted by U.S. sanctions. The main function of the sanctions is to curtail the financial institutions’ ability to access U.S. debt markets, not to block individual users from using their accounts or credit cards, according to the officials, who spoke on the condition of anonymity because they were not autho-

rized to discuss the sanctions by name. Analysts said the effort was aimed at cutting off access to resources that these banks would need to support their own lending operations, an action that could weaken economic activity in Russia. “This limits the ability of these banks to do new business. That means the Russian economy will suffer because the banks will not be able to make as many loans,” said Sung Won Sohn, an economics professor at the Martin Smith School of Business at California State University Channel Islands. He said that barring financing from U.S. institutions to these banks will likely have a ripple effect. “It is likely that other Western banks and banks in Asia will be reluctant to do business with them,” Sohn said.

China reports deadly attack in northwest By CHRISTOPHER BODEEN Associated Press

BEIJING — A mob armed with knives rampaged through part of China’s volatile northwestern region of Xinjiang and police responded with gunfire, leaving dozens of people dead in the latest violence blamed on Islamic militants, state media reported Tuesday. Many other people were injured in the violence Monday in Shache county near the city of Kashgar, the official Xinhua News Agency said. It said the mob first attacked a police station and government offices in the township of Elixku before moving on to a neighboring township, attacking civilians and smashing vehicles along the way. Xinhua said dozens of people were killed or injured in the attacks but gave

no precise figures. It also said that police shot and killed dozens of the attackers. “Initial investigation showed that it was a premeditated terror attack. Further investigation is under way,” Xinhua said. Calls to more than a half-dozen police stations and government offices in the area either rang unanswered Tuesday evening or were answered by people who confirmed the attack but said they were not permitted to release any information about it. Obtaining details of violence in the remote region is usually impossible and authorities routinely prevent foreign journalists from working freely in the area. There has been increasing violence in Xinjiang in recent months blamed on pro-independence militants from the region’s native Turkic Uighur Muslim

ethnic group. While some of the attacks have shown an increased level of sophistication and planning, most have relied on crude weaponry such as swords, bombs and homemade explosives. China’s government says the attackers have ties to overseas Islamic terror groups, although it has provided little evidence to back up its claim. Uighur (pronounced WEE-gur) activists say repressive Chinese cultural and religious policies are fueling resentment among Uighurs, along with a sense that the benefits of economic growth in the resource-rich region are flowing disproportionately to migrants from the country’s Han Chinese majority. Also known as Yarkant, Shache is near the border with the unstable Central Asian states, about 2,175 miles west of Beijing.

Scully to broadcast 66th season with Dodgers LOSANGELES (AP) -- Vin Scully is staying in the booth for the Los Angeles Dodgers. The 86-year-old Hall of Fame announcer will return for his record 66th season with the team in 2015. The announcement was made by in Korean, Spanish and English by players Hyun-Jin Ryu, Yasiel Puig and Justin Turner on the Dodger Stadium video board in the second inning of Tuesday night’s game against Atlanta. The news was greeted with loud

cheers and a prolonged standing ovation for Scully, who stood and waved to fans from his booth, where he hugged his wife, Sandi. A decision about Scully’s future has become an annual rite of passage in recent years as he evaluates his health and his family’s wishes in considering whether he wants to continue. ‘’God willing, I will be back next year,’’ he said in a statement released by the team. ‘’Naturally there will come a time when I have to say

goodbye, but I’ve soul-searched and this is not the time.’’ Scully’s consecutive years of service make him the longest-tenured broadcaster with one team in sports history. He calls all nine innings of the team’s home games and road games in California and Arizona for the Dodgers’ new television home on SportsNet LA, while the first three innings of his games are simulcast on the radio. Scully and the Dodgers have been invisible to 70 percent of Los Ange-

les television viewers so far this season. Only customers of Time Warner Cable Inc. and a couple of its partners have been able to watch the team’s games. Subscribers of major providers such as DirecTV, Dish Network, Verizon and AT&T have been shut out. ‘’I’m obviously not alone in saying that I’m overjoyed Vin will be coming back to the booth in 2015,’’ team president and CEO Stan Kasten said. ‘’Our fans deserve the very best and Vin’s voice, knowledge, experience

and passion for broadcasting Dodger baseball are second to none.’’ Scully began his professional broadcasting career in 1950 with the Brooklyn Dodgers. He has called three perfect games, 25 World Series and 12 All-Star games. He was behind the microphone for Kirk Gibson’s Game 1 homer in the 1988 World Series, Don Larsen’s perfect game in the 1956 World Series, Hank Aaron’s recordsetting 715th home run and Sandy Koufax’s four no-hitters, including a perfect game.

NBA Players Association elects first female union head BRIAN MAHONEY AP Basketball Writer

Michele Roberts has watched basketball for as long as she can remember. It was an easy choice growing up in a home with one TV and two older brothers. When she saw an interview

last year with an NBA player and noticed how passionately he talked about trying to improve his embattled union, she wanted to be more than a fan. She wanted to be involved. That got her started toward becoming the first woman to lead a North American pro

sports union. Roberts was elected early Tuesday morning as executive director of the National Basketball Players Association, and the Washington trial lawyer is eager to provide the leadership it needs after a few difficult years.

“They were looking for, not a man, not a woman, they were looking for a personality,” Roberts said in a phone interview. “I think I’m that personality and I intend to be what I have been in my entire practice, singularly devoted to this union. And that’s what they were looking for.

“Someone, whether it be a boy or a girl, who understood that this was their union, and they intended to run it, and they were looking for someone who appreciated that and was not going to deviate from that.” Roberts received 32 of 36

votes at a meeting of players in Las Vegas, defeating tech industry CEO Dean Garfield and Dallas Mavericks CEO Terdema Ussery in the final vote. It capped a long and arduous process to replace Billy Hunter, who was ousted in February 2013.

Great week at Kenai Golf Course ends with Walker Cup victory The history of the Walker Cup continues to grow with each passing year. After 10 years of competition, Kenai leads the series 5 1/2 to Birchridge’s 4 1/2. As you can see, it could not be much closer. This year’s competition was not close with Kenai winning 20 1/2 to 3 1/2. The final score is not indicative of the spirit of the competition. Each team member competed to the best of his ability. Each team celebrated every victory and each team member was respectful of each other. After the final day of competition we all got together and enjoyed a great banquet that was planned and carried out by Debbie and Lara Griffin. Kirk Hyman was the grillmaster and he did an excellent job. On the first day of the Walker Cup it was wet, rainy, windy, and cold. Six points were at stake at the Alternate Shot competition. Kenai ended that first day with a 3 1/2 to 2 1/2 lead, very close. The six pairs of teams finished as follows: Kenai’s Gordon Griffin and Todd Eskelin won 2 and 1 against Zack and Nick Beeson; Chris Murray and Derek Kaufman of Kenai beat Mike Hollingsworth and George Stein 2-up. Birch Ridge’s Kevin Downs and Jesse Scott beat Doug Jung and Gilbert Arellano 1-up; Kenai’s Bob Sizemore and Greg Harrington finished tied against Paul Zimmerman

and CJ Henley; Birch Ridge’s Pedro McCall and Tyler Yamada beat Rene Alvarez and Chris Morin 2 and 1; and Kenai’s John Dahlgren and Aaron Cooper won against Jeff Hetrick and Gene Minden 5 and 3. The second day best-ball competition was won by Kenai with a score of 6 to 0 to take a commanding lead into the singles competition on Sunday. In the singles competition Kenai’s Mike Houghton and Craig Jung picked up forfeits. Kenai’s victories included: Chris Morin over Jesse Scott 6 and 4; Gilbert Arellano over Tyler Yamada 6 and 5; Chris Murray over Max Dye 4 and 3; Todd Eskelin over Nick Beeson 7 and 5; John Dahlgren over Paul Zimmerman 4 and 3; Doug Jung over Mike Hollingsworth 2 and 1; Rene Alvarez over Kevin Downs 4 and 3; Bob Sizemore over Pedro McCall 2 and 1; and Greg Harrington over Del Hoagland 6 and 4. CJ Henley got the only singles victory for Birch Ridge, defeating Gordon Griffin 1-up. At 5 1/2 to 4 1/2 overall and through the last ten years, this is still a very close competition. I am sure that it will be very difficult for us to hold that lead when we play next year at Birch Ridge. My thanks and congratulations to Mike Houghton, Joe Deveaux, and Aaron Cooper for participating in

K enai G olf C ourse R eport G ordon G riffin their first Walker Cup competition. They each did an excellent job. We look forward to their participation in future years. I agree with Tom Walsh that this is a great event and I sincerely hope that this event has a long future. It is important to understand that each team will have their moments in time. When you’re down you have to fight and strive to get back on top. This was true in Kenai when we lost so many events in those early years. Our guys never gave up and certainly had no thoughts of quitting. They fought hard and got better and finally moved into the lead this year. I would like to congratulate Pedro McCall for his heroic play in the Walker Cup. He had a difficult task and performed really well. I would also like to congratulate CJ Henley for his victory in the singles competition. Considering all that he has endured, his victory over Gordon Griffin was extremely impressive. He shot 37 on the back nine to overcome a threehole deficit. C

Sports Briefs South to play for Legion title It only took five innings Tuesday for South Anchorage to put away Dimond 14-1 in an Alaska Legion AA state baseball tournament semifinal at Mulcahy Stadium in Anchorage.

Dimond will face Juneau in an 11 a.m. elimination game Wednesday, for which the winner will move into Thursday’s championship game against South. The title match is scheduled for 2 p.m. Thursday at Mulcahy. Juneau beat Chugiak 14-9 in the second-chance consolation side of the bracket Tuesday, putting the Crimson Bears into Wednesday’s semifinal with Dimond. Juneau won with 13 walks and 15 hits, with Steven Baseden leading the way with a 4-for-5 day, adding two RBIs and four runs. Robert Markovich pitched seven innings with seven strikeouts.

Panners win Game 1 of ABL title series

The Alaska Goldpanners showed the Mat-Su Miners the kind of offense that has carried them to the Alaska Baseball League’s best overall regular season record in 2014 by routing the Miners 14-0 in Game 1 of the ABL Championship series, Tuesday at Mulcahy Stadium in Anchorage. The Goldpanners had 21 hits to the Miners’ seven, led by Cody Nulph, who went 4 for 5 with two RBI and a double. Tanner Pinkston, Jacob Hayes and Eric Hutting each contributed three hits as well. Vahn Bozoian batted in three runs. Mike Benson got the win on the hill, going six scoreless innings with six hits, two walks and five strikeouts. The two teams will get a doubleheader in today, starting with Game 2 of the best-out-of-3 game series at 4 p.m. at Mulcahy. If necessary, Game 3 is scheduled for 6:30 p.m.

Hamlin penalized 75 points for infraction

CHARLOTTE, N.C. (AP) — NASCAR suspended Denny Hamlin’s crew chief and car chief on Tuesday for six races because the Joe Gibbs Racing entry failed inspection following his thirdplace finish at Indianapolis Motor Speedway. Darian Grubb and Wesley Sherrill were both suspended through the Sept. 6 race at Richmond. Grubb, the crew chief, was also fined $125,000. It strips Hamlin of two vital crew members during the stretch of the season he would be putting the finishing touches on preparations for NASCAR’s title-deciding, 10-race Chase for the Sprint Cup championship. Grubb and Sherrill, who also each received six months’ probation, are not eligible to return until the Chase opener, Sept. 14 at Chicago. JGR said in a statement it will appeal the penalty, but Grubb and Sherrill will begin serving their suspensions immediately. Under NASCAR rules, suspended competitors can compete until the appeal process is complete, but delaying sitting out would extend the suspensions into the Chase should JGR not get portions of the penalty overturned. Also, Hamlin and team owner Joe Gibbs were docked 75 points apiece in the driver and owner standings. It dropped Hamlin from 11th to 21st in the Sprint Cup standings. But, as a race winner already this season, Hamlin is likely guaranteed a spot in the 16-driver Chase field. Hamlin’s car failed post-race inspection Sunday because NASCAR said it found issues with several of the covers in the rear firewall of the driver compartment. Loose or missing covers could vent the driver compartment and create more downforce for the car. The penalty was considered a P5 infraction under the scale NASCAR implemented this season. It clearly defines penalties and their punishments on a P1 to P6 scale.

to donate a portion of their PFDs to non-profit organizations. Rep. Paul Seaton, R-Homer, a sponsor of the bill. He said previously the program required organizations with a budget of more than $250,000 a year to be audited. “Which meant that for those groups that were just above that range, they had to spend more to get the audit than they would get in donations,” he said. The bill removed that requirement. It also allows Alaskans to donate a portion of their PFD to sustain the program, so now it doesn’t require state money, he said.

The bill also aids in-state refineries by allowing for a tax credit of 40 percent or $10 million for infrastructure investment. “This bill is a very important step forward in making sure that we have a more healthy in-state refining industry, a lot more jobs for Alaskans and provide that level playing field where every company can take advantage of the tax credit so that we can make sure that we have a healthy refining industry not just here, in Nikiski on the Kenai, but across the state as well,” Parnell said. House Speaker Mike Chenault, R-Nikiski, said HB 287 is a productive piece of legislature. “The royalty issue is the issue that concerned the folks (at Tesoro) in this facility,” Chenault said. “We were able to add a couple other pieces that helped (Alaska) refineries.”

come the latest state to legalize marijuana. The ballot measure is labeled as an act to tax and regulate the production, sale and use of marijuana in the state and would make use of the substance legal for Alaskans who are at least 21 years old. During his presentation, Bickford likened the criminalization of marijuana use to the failed attempt to ban alcohol during America’s Prohibition. “Alcohol prohibition was an abject failure in this country, it lasted for 13-years and it stopped nothing,” Bickford said. “What it did was it criminalized otherwise law-abiding adults for using alcohol … it was extremely wasteful. Our federal government spent millions of dollars trying to fight a war that couldn’t be won.”

Bickford said smoking marijuana was “objectively safer” than drinking alcohol — yet being caught with pot could have long-lasting detrimental affects on Alaskans. “When you get arrested on a marijuana offense in this state, good luck finding a job, good luck getting a college scholarship, it puts your life on hold and we know that people who have an interaction like this with the criminal justice system are much more likely to become repeat offenders, they’re much more likely to end up in prison.” Tougas said the issue was not whether people could smoke the substance, rather that the ballot initiative would create a commercialized pot industry in the state, one that promoted the message that smoking pot was a normal and accepted part of life. “We oppose the initiative because we’ve read it,” Tougas said. “I’ve read every word of

After the dueling presentations, several residents asked questions of the two debaters including Robyn Sullens, of Kenai, who asked Tougas several questions. “Sir, have you ever used marijuana?” Sullens said. “No, I have not,” Tougas said. “OK,” Sullens said. “If your wife or child was on their death bed and marijuana could save

About wastefulness A big word with lots of meaning

Kenai and North Kenai, Alaska, now known as Nikiski. 1967 to 2014 am sure you have read enough about Kenai River Dip Netting and wastefulness - so have I. Is it a surprise that we went through another year of the deluge of people from all over Alaska coming to the mouth of the Kenai River in it’s beautiful state of purity and left it in such a horrible mess? Does it mean we turn our back on the waste just for the almighty dollar that is spent by the dip netters? I would love to know if it benefited our economy enough to have our river and beaches polluted for one or two weeks. Everyone leaves like a vacuum and we have the horrible mess they left. One day our beaches and rivers will be so polluted it will effect the fish and the water and we will not longer be able to eat the fish. We were turned into a third world country with pollution beyond belief in one short week. Nothing, absolutely nothing, makes me angier than to have a fisherman tell me he does not like to eat fish! So more regulations? Maybe a lottery - maybe everyone fish on odd and even days with the “A’s” through K’s” on even days and so on. My Mom and Dad taught us to eat everything on our plate. My Grandma and Grandpa preached to us, never waste a crust of bread because someday we will so hungry you will wish we had that crust of bread to eat. That rings in my ears to this day. I freeze what bread we do not eat and on rare occasions I tell myself that I am not wasting that crust of bread that I feed the birds. Waste not - Want not! Fishing in Alaska will never be like the “olden days” when families needed fish they just went to the beach or river and caught exactly what they needed and one more to share for the family that was not able to fish. I canned and froze my share for my family and gave away much more. I am paying back the kindness I was shown as a young mother with three kids, living in a small silver trailer with less than $100 in my pocket, $68 to be exact...when I arrived in “North Kenai” in 1967. The kindness of strangers will forever be the one thing that has endured me to Alaskans. I cooked a fine salmon, gutted and filleted by a man I had never met, in a old cast iron skillet that another person gave to me. I boiled potatoes in a coffee can, generously given to us from their stash of home grown potatos. We were given moose and bear to sustain us. We also were given kind words of wisdom on how to survive in Alaska. My friend Leatha baked two loaves of bread, one for her family and one for us. She also made extra cookies and cakes for us. My friend Jo Anne and I shared food and berries to be preserved and to be canned or frozen for the winter. They taught me how to be so gener-

ous and to be helpful to others. They were new to Alaska also so sticking together during fishing season and moose hunting, by canning and freezing, was our duty and taking pride in keeping our families fed during the long harsh winter months. Our moose was preserved, just like fish. With every inch of the moose, including the bones, we used in some sort of fashion. The husbands created a meat grinder out of a electric drill nailed to a stump for grinding mooseburger. Leatha, knowing how to make tamales, sent for corn husks and we spent four winter days grinding, cooking and preparing the tamales for the winter. We froze over 40 dozen of them - gave lots away. My kids - (we had six in my family at this time) and Leatha had three - Jo Anne had two and most of our new to Alaska friends all had kids, so everything was shared. Cleaning up the bedrooms and washing sheets and bed clothes was a chore as we did not have washers and dryers. While dong so, I come upon stashes of aluminum foil and corn husks under the bunk beds. The kids ate the tamales out of the freezer like popsicles!! The local Johnson’s laundry just opened and was full all the time day and night. So I traveled at times, in my old green Willy’s Jeep to Soldotna with a heaping load of laundry and just enough space for a kid or two that wanted to go along to help. (I smile at this comment!) The laundro-mat was at the “Y” in Soldotna. Old building,when I was going in 1967-68 - it was the place to get the clothes washed and dried within three or four hours. I met many nice ladies during those times in the same “boat” as I was. Young, adventurous and ready to learn anything about how to survive in Alaska, not only in the winter but what was available in the summer. We all gathered clams, mushrooms, salmon, halibut, moose ( I left the bears alone!) and berries. We worked hard to have a pantry full of Alaska food for the winter. The laundro-mat in Soldotna was my School of Alaskan Survival! Sadly that building that housed the laundro-mat was converted into a doctors office, met it’s demise by the way of a big big box store called Walgreen’s. Progress? Yes maybe?

Backlash has begun against gluten-free diet By ELLEN McCARTHY The Washington Post

WASHINGTON — The swelling ranks of Americans adopting gluten-free diets have given rise to another hot trend: people calling the whole thing a bunch of baloney. And then requesting that the baloney be sandwiched between two pieces of white bread. Served with a cookie for dessert. David Klimas has a friend who recently went gluten-free, a development that the 46-yearold real estate sales manager greets with a slow eye roll. He thinks that the gluten-free thing is just a fad, promoted by food companies “as a way of making money.” “In the ‘50s, everyone had ulcers,” he says. “Then, it was back problems. Now, it’s gluten.” Gluten abstinence has grown dramatically over the past several years. According to

a survey by the NPD Group, a market-research firm, nearly a third of adults say that they’re trying to either eliminate or cut back on gluten, a combination of proteins found in wheat and other grains. And this movement has spawned a burgeoning food industry valued at at least $4 billion and perhaps more than $10 billion — and climbing. Entire aisles at grocery stores are dedicated to the diet. Restaurant chains including Bob Evans, Hooters and, impressively, Uno Pizzeria and Grill, offer gluten-free menus. Trade shows devoted to gluten-free products have popped up nationwide. Bars use menu icons to denote gluten-free beers. All of which makes some people want to bang their heads against a flour mill. “I don’t get it,” Klimas says of his friend’s decision to cut

’ve used the same basic batter recipe for making cobblers for years. It has never failed me and adapts well to a wide variety of summer fruits, including fresh sweet cherries. I’ve made summer cobblers with a combination of fruits, such as blueberries, raspberries, blackberries and cherries, but more often than not, I do single-fruit cobblers, like the ones here for cherry cobbler. I like to throw a cobbler into the oven the same time we are sitting down to supper, because by the time the table is cleared and the dishes are done, the cobbler is ready – all hot and bubbly and baked to a deep golden brown. Oldfashioned desserts, like cobblers, look particularly homey served from a cast iron skillet, inviting family and friends to linger longer at the dessert table. And, because cast iron retains heat for a greater length of time than other cooking materials, your cobbler will stay warm well after it has been removed from the oven. Laid-back cobblers are scrumptious accompanied with good vanilla ice cream, and if you have access to an ice cream

The recipe highlighted for No-Cook Intensely Vanilla Ice Cream, my favorite “go to” recipe for homemade vanilla ice cream, produces an ice cream with a velvety texture and a deeply pleasing vanilla flavor.

Open pod and with the back of a knife, scrape seeds into milk mixture. (Do not discard the pod. Use it for making vanilla sugar: Rinse the split pod and cut into 1-inch pieces; allow it to dry completely. Once the pieces are dry, bury them in 2 cups granulated sugar in a jar with a lid. Close jar tightly and allow vanilla to permeate sugar for two weeks, before using. Replace vanilla pod after several months, or until fragrance begins to dissipates. Sugar may be used in beverages or in recipes for sauces, cakes, cookies and frostings.)

after Handler sent gluten-free cupcakes to her friends, including Theron, for the winter holidays. “I just think that if you’re going to send a gift, let it be enjoyable,” fumed Theron, who said that the confection tasted “like cardboard.” Daniel Leffler, director of research at the Celiac Center at Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center in Boston, said that between 2 million and 3 million Americans report maintaining a gluten-free diet, and about 10 percent of that group has celiac disease. The number of people with the disease is rising — doubling every 30 years, on pace with other autoimmune diseases such as Type?1 diabetes — but the increase in that population is far outstripped by the explosive growth in people adopting the diet for other reasons, including weight loss. This has led to what Leffler calls the gluten-free paradox: “Most people who are on the gluten-free diet don’t have celiac disease, and most people who have celiac disease don’t know that they have it and don’t eat gluten-free.” Some nutritionists warn that dieters might be unnecessarily depriving themselves of healthy fiber found in whole grains — and not compensating with fruits, vegetables and other sources of fiber. Jessie Dankos, a 24-yearold grant-management consultant who lives in Arlington, Virginia, felt bad for a woman she recently met at a wedding who has such a severe reaction to gluten that she has to check the labels on her shampoo to make sure that it doesn’t contain traces of the substance. But Dankos has less empathy for her self-diagnosed roommate, who will sometimes gaze longingly at baked goods and expect sympathy for her inability to indulge in them. “But then sometimes she’ll come home from the bars and have a slice of pizza,” Dankos says. Dankos was at the Whole Foods on P Street NW in the District with her 24-year-old co-worker, Hannah Glassman, who said that she tried eliminating gluten from her diet for a few months. Her energy level did seem to improve, Glass-

man said, but she found it awkward not to eat gluten at social events, such as happy hours, where people want to share an order of fried food. So she became less stringent and occasionally allows herself a bit of gluten. On this day, she’d chosen a pasta salad for lunch. “I’ll probably be a little tired when I go back to the office,” she said. “But it’s hard to tell if it’s the gluten or the heat.” Shira Kraft, associate director of Hemphill Fine Arts and author of Glutie Foodie, a blog that tracks her culinary adventures around town, was diagnosed with celiac disease almost four years ago. She says that the gluten-free movement has been a double-edged sword for people who have the disease. On one hand, it’s great to have more — and much tastier — products to choose from. But she also says that because so many people are staying gluten-free, her condition is sometimes taken less seriously. “I certainly feel I have to defend myself,” says Kraft, 31. “I’m embarrassed when I say that I’m allergic to gluten, because I feel like people are rolling their eyes. ‘Just another one, part of the fad.’” And although many restaurants are catering to gluten-free diners, some are putting limits on how far they’ll go to accommodate them. Peter Pastan, owner of Etto, Obelisk and 2Amys, draws the line at gluten-free pizza. Not that people don’t ask for it. They do — almost nightly. “It’s hard enough to make a good pizza,” Pastan says. So he has given his servers a standard response to the gluten-free inquiries: “They say: ‘You’re absolutely right. I totally understand what you’re saying, but my boss is crazy and there’s nothing I can do about it.’?” Hanson Cheng doesn’t pay much attention to the glutenfree haters. Feeling out of shape a couple of years ago, he joined a CrossFit training gym and went on the Paleo Diet, which consists of mostly meat and vegetables. When he relaxed his standards and tried eating wheat-based products again, he noticed a difference almost immediately. C

B-8 Peninsula Clarion, Wednesday, July 30, 2014

Family’s dirty little secret is better left unexposed community and eventually embarrass the CHILD, who is blameless in all this. DEAR ABBY: I am a man who has recently fallen in love with a beautiful maleto-female transgender. She considers herself a woman, but on social media lists herself as male. I am wondering whether I should consider myself gay, Abigail Van Buren bisexual or straight? I always considered myself straight until recently. — NO LONGER SURE IN TEXAS DEAR NO LONGER SURE: Because the person presents herself to you as female, then you are a straight man who has fallen in love with a transgender woman. If you were attracted only to members of the same sex, then you would be a homosexual. People who are attracted to both men and women are bisexual. DEAR ABBY: I use public transportation to commute to and from work. I use the time to read and un-

wind from my day. People often start talking to me, and I find myself trapped for the next 45 minutes listening to an unwelcome monologue about their lives. The fact that I have earplugs in and a book on my lap is no deterrent. I don’t want to be rude. What’s the best way to tell someone I prefer to chill out and not listen to his/her ramblings? — BOOKWORM IN CALGARY, CANADA DEAR BOOKWORM: Smile at the person and say, “I need this time to catch up on my reading.” That’s asserting your right to privacy, and it’s not rude. Dear Abby is written by Abigail Van Buren, also known as Jeanne Phillips, and was founded by her mother, Pauline Phillips. Contact Dear Abby at www. DearAbby.com or P.O. Box 69440, Los Angeles, CA 90069. To order “How to Write Letters for All Occasions,” send your name and mailing address, plus check or money order for $7 (U.S. funds) to: Dear Abby — Letter Booklet, P.O.

Hints from Heloise

Jacqueline Bigar’s Stars A baby born today has a Sun in Leo and a Moon in Virgo. HAPPY BIRTHDAY for Wednesday, July 30, 2014: This year you often are stunned by the opportunities that head your way. Having so much to choose from could be overwhelming. You know what works best for you, so follow that path. If you are single, you could meet someone in the oddest place. You could have quite a selection of potential suitors. If you are attached, you and your sweetie have an opportunity to fulfill a long-term goal. You could go overboard in fulfilling this wish, but trust that it will be well worth it. Indulge your sweetie more often, and it will bond the two of you more closely together. VIRGO can be very precise. 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) HHH Your creativity surges, especially if you follow your instincts. You know when to be less forceful and when to use a more caring tone. Ask yourself what your objectives are before initiating a conversation. You won’t lose your grounding if you do. Tonight: Relax. TAURUS (April 20-May 20) HHHHH A meeting will add to your enthusiasm as you near the completion of a long-term goal. Share an unusual insight with a friend, and listen to his or her point of view. You can’t always be responsible for a partner’s mood. Tonight: Make the most of the moment. GEMINI (May 21-June 20) HHH Tension seems to be building on the homefront. There is likely to

Rubes

be some ambiguity when speaking with a boss or relative, and getting plans locked in will require some skill. A friendship means more to you than you might realize. Tonight: If you are tired, say so. CANCER (June 21-July 22) HHHHH Keep reaching out for more information. Your softer side emerges with others, and they respond with ease. Be aware of the unpredictability of someone you respect. You never know which side this person will fall on with a major issue. Tonight: Out till the wee hours. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) HHH Curb the effects of the greeneyed monster. Sometimes you might not realize how jealous or insecure you become. Use caution with someone you meet today. This person might not be who he or she appears to be once you get to know him or her. Tonight: Reach out to someone at a distance. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) HHHHH You will blossom with the help of a key friend. This person is always upbeat around you, as he or she sees you through rose-colored glasses. This kind of cheerleading right now will prove to be helpful. A conversation still could be uncomfortable. Tonight: Go with the moment. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) HHHH You could have a lot going on behind the scenes. You might choose not to share what you are visualizing at the present moment. A partner or loved one is likely to react in the most unexpected manner possible. Postpone taking action until later. Tonight: Not to be found.

By Leigh Rubin

Ziggy

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) HHHHH Zero in on what you must. You will get a lot done, even if it is just shopping for a friend and/ or planning a get-together. Investigate an opportunity that you did not expect or foresee. Talk to a trusted adviser before you act. Tonight: Find your friends. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) HHHH Recognize that you have a lot to handle. You might want to start saying “no” to unnecessary obligations. Your ingenuity will help you solidify what you must. In fact, others will appreciate this creative aspect of your thinking. Tonight: In the limelight. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) HHHHH Keep reaching out to someone who often helps you to gain a new perspective. Enjoy the spontaneity that exists between you. Focus on long-term gains and possibilities when discussing the situation with contemporaries. Tonight: Allow your mind to wander. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) HHHH One-on-one relating will provide you with a strong sense of direction, and it will help others know where you are coming from. Your efforts make all the difference in a situation involving several people. Don’t worry about an unexpected comment. Tonight: Be a duo. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) HHHH You might be wondering exactly what is necessary to win someone’s support. You will know what to do once you have a discussion with a few friends who understand the problem. You are being reminded of your limits with others. Tonight: Follow someone else’s lead.

Funny little kiwifruit Dear Readers: Have you enjoyed the delicious taste of the funny little brown, furry kiwifruit? These small, fuzzy fruits are just plain fun to eat! They do have a great taste, sort of like strawberries, but not really. When buying, pass over extremely soft or bruised fruit. Squeeze the little fuzzball (not too hard), and it should “give” a little. Time to eat and enjoy. If still firm, you can ripen the fruit at room temperature (they do look nice in a bowl on the kitchen counter), or in a paper bag with an apple to speed up the process. Once ripened, kiwifruit can be kept in the refrigerator for up to four weeks, or left at room temperature for a few days. — Heloise P.S.: Did you know you can eat the skin of a kiwifruit? It is completely edible, but most people peel the skin before eating. However, now that I have learned this, I’m going to try one with the skin on! Send a great hint to: Heloise P.O. Box 795000 San Antonio, TX 78279-5000 Fax: 210-HELOISE Email: Heloise(at)Heloise.com Ice-cream cones Dear Heloise: Here are two summer hints my kids can’t do without. First, I always place a small marshmallow in the bottom of ice-cream cones to keep the ice cream from coming out of the bottom. Second, I place a layer of hazelnut spread or peanut butter around the inside of the cone before the ice cream is added for an extra-special flavor surprise. — Tara W. in Florida

DEAR ABBY: My husband’s family are hypocrites! They talk about everyone and their problems, yet when something arises in their family, they want it kept hush-hush. My sister-in-law, “Gina,” had a baby recently. Her husband, “Allan,” was suspicious because their sexual relations had stopped years ago. He did a store-bought DNA test (twice) and realized the baby was not his. When he confronted her, she wouldn’t tell him who the father is, but said she had discussed the pregnancy with the father, and they had decided it would be best for her to raise the baby as her husband’s. Well, Allan and Gina are now being divorced, and he’s having his name removed from the baby’s birth certificate. Of course, everyone but me wants this to stay quiet. I want the wife of the man to know, and I want ALL the people my in-laws trash all the time to know! Perhaps this seems mean, but DANG IT, why shouldn’t everyone know that Gina isn’t Miss Perfect? What do you think? — TICKED OFF IN LOUISIANA DEAR TICKED OFF: Please don’t act on impulse. I think that as disgusted as you are with your in-laws, you should keep your mouth shut. If you spread this around, it could become the talk of the
