Fairbanks, Delta see record high temperatures

The Binkley Street improvement project work continues between Park Avenue and Corral Street on Monday in Soldotna.

FAIRBANKS (AP) — Fairbanks has been known to have snow by September but that’s not the case this year. Temperatures on Saturday and Sunday broke or tied record highs. The Fairbanks Daily News-Miner reports the thermometer hit 76 degrees just before 4 p.m. Sunday. That beat the old record for the day of 73, set in 1938. On Saturday, the temperature reached 74, which tied the record high for Sept. 13 set in 1965. A new temperature record was also set Sunday in Delta Junction at 70 degrees. Normal temperatures for the interior Alaska communities range from the mid-30s to the low 50s. The National Weather Service says the unseasonable warmth should carry into Monday. Temperatures are forecast to cool Tuesday.

Upgrades to sewer system needed to accommodate hospital

Young announces plans for 3 House debates, forums JUNEAU (AP) — U.S. Rep. Don Young has agreed to participate in three debates and forums in the lead-up to the November general election. Young’s campaign says he’ll participate in a Fairbanks Chamber of Commerce forum on Oct. 28 and an Alaska Public Media debate on Oct. 30. His campaign had previously said he would take part in a debate on fisheries issues in Kodiak on Oct. 1.

Binkley Street work continues By KELLY SULLIVAN Peninsula Clarion

The City of Soldotna and the Kenai Peninsula Borough will be split the cost of the final stage of Binkley Street improvements. The sewer collection lift station at the intersection of Corral Avenue and Binkley Street will be decommissioned, replaced with an upgraded system and an insulated, stand-by generator

will be installed to maintain pump flow when the area has a power outage, said city engineer Kyle Kornelis. “The city’s existing sewer collection infrastructure is insufficient to accommodate the borough’s new four-story specialty clinics facility, which is currently under construction at the hospital campus,” Kornelis wrote in an Aug. 27 memo to city manager Mark Dixson. “An upgraded and large capacity life station is required

and will be incorporated into the Binkley Street improvements project. The lift station upgrade will also consider future growth and will be sized accordingly.” This lift station will be slightly larger than any of the others currently in operation within city limits, Kornelis said. Its volumetric flow rate is greater than any other lift station due to its central location near the hospital. Soldotna will be contrib-

uting half of the $115,000 to the upgraded lift station costs, while the borough will contribution will not exceed $115,000, according to a memo from Kornelis. The fund appropriation was presented to the city Wednesday evening in an effort to speed up the process. “With the summer construction season winding down we believe the expeditious appropriation is prudent,” Kornelis See CITY, page A-8

Furie Operating Alaska’s platform has arrived in Alaska from Texas. The platform was built in Ingleside, Texas, this summer. On June 4 it left Corpus Christi, Texas, traveled through the Gulf of Mexico, went through the Panama Canal, sailed north through the Pacific Ocean and arrived in Kachemak Bay on Sept. 9, according to a press release from Furie. The monopod platform will be set over Furie’s Kitchen Lights Unit No. 3 well, which is located in Cook Inlet about 20 miles northeast of Nikiski. In June 2013, commercially producible natural gas was discovered at the well. Installation of the platform, which has a surface area of 0.3 acres, will begin in the spring of 2015, after the ice leaves Cook Inlet, according to the release. An 18-foot diameter caisson will support the platform. A 16-mile subsea pipeline will connect the platform to the onshore processing facility See FURIE, page A-8

Death of son weighs heavily on family By DAN BALMER Peninsula Clarion

After moving back to Soldotna at the end of August to begin a new job, the future looked bright for Connor Jezorski until tragedy struck. On his way to work at 7 a.m. Sept. 9, Connor Jezorski’s silver Toyota pickup crossed the opposite lane, went into the ditch and hit a culvert. The impact caused the truck to become airborne, roll over and crash through a fence at the Soldotna

Airport. Central Emergency Services and Soldotna police responded to the crash and found Connor Jezorski partially ejected from the single-vehicle crash. Responders declared him deceased on the scene. Soldotna police Sgt. Duane Kant said Connor Jezorski was not wearing a seatbelt. Mike Jezorski was out hunting with friends the day of his son’s accident. He returned to his campsite near Cooper Lake and found his daughter, Jess

‘He was a good kid, always with a smile on his face. ... He had his whole life ahead of him.’ — Mike Jezorski Jezorski, who came out to find him and break the news. “That was the longest drive of my life,” he said. “We are all devastated. There are no words to describe the pain of losing our son.”

His father said Connor, 21, had just started a new job at Conam Construction Company in Nikiski as a welding apprentice. The general construction company performs maintenance of oil and gas facilities

and pipelines. “He was a good welder and hard worker,” said Mike Jezorski, owner of Jezorski Builders in Soldotna. “I was extremely proud of how hard he worked to get a good job.” After working in the family business with his father and brother Scott, Connor decided to pursue a welding career. Connor received his welding certification at Kenai Peninsula College in 2013. In between the semester course he spent next See HEAVY, page A-8

Sullivan backs state BP layoffs follow Hilcorp sale minimum wage raise JUNEAU (AP) — Republican U.S. Senate candidate Dan Sullivan said he doesn’t support raising the federal minimum wage but backs a state initiative to raise Alaska’s minimum wage. Sullivan, in a statement, said Alaskans know best when it comes to strengthening the state’s economy and supporting its workers and businesses. He said continued efforts are also needed to support Alaska’s energy sector, streamline state and federal regulations and make the tax system more competitive. His position on the state minimum wage was reported by the Wall Street Journal. Voters in November will decide a ballot measure that would raise Alaska’s minimum wage of $7.75 an hour by $2 over two years and have it adjusted for inflation in subsequent years. In rapid-fire questioning dur-

ing a primary debate, Sullivan said he didn’t support the initiative. On Monday, critics — including the campaign of Democratic U.S. Sen. Mark Begich — accused Sullivan of flip-flopping. The Alaska AFL-CIO, in a release, called his latest statement supporting the initiative an attempt to pander to voters. “Dan Sullivan appears to be able to read polls and knows that opposition to the wage increase might have helped him in a closed primary, but it hurts his appeal to general election voters,” the president of the union, Vince Beltrami, said in a statement. “Sullivan is playing politics with people’s livelihoods, and it’s reprehensible.” Sullivan spokesman Mike Anderson said Sullivan came to his position after speaking to and meeting with Alaskans on the campaign trail.

JUNEAU — BP Alaska, a major player in the state’s oil industry, on Monday announced plans to lay off 275 employees and direct contractors early next year. BP’s business in Alaska will be smaller because of the previously announced sale of its interests in four North Slope oil fields to Hilcorp, spokeswoman Dawn Patience said. The layoffs, combined with 200 of the roughly 250 people whose work was tied to those fields and accepted jobs with Hilcorp, represent about 17 percent of the total number of BP employees and contractors in Alaska, Patience said. BP has 2,725 employees and direct contractors in the state; of that total, 2,250 are employees. When the sale was anC

nounced in April, employees were told “the entire business is going to look different at the end of this,” Patience said. “The Alaska business is still very important to BP. It’s just a smaller business than it was before,” she said. Hilcorp spokeswoman Lori Nelson said job offers were made to about 200 workers associated with the assets in the deal. She said the final number who will be hired “is still a work in progress. We’re going to continue to assess our needs, and we’re going to be working to get fully staffed before the official acquisition date takes place.” The layoffs announced Monday include overhead associated with the fields, Patience said. The sale, which Patience said is expected to close later this year, involved all of BP’s

interests in the Endicott and Northstar oil fields and a 50 percent interest in the Liberty and Milne Point fields. It also included BP’s interests in the oil and gas pipelines associated with those fields, BP said in April. BP’s president for Alaska operations, Janet Weiss, said at the time that the sale would allow for BP to focus on maximizing production from Prudhoe Bay and advancing plans for a major liquefied natural gas project. BP is working on the latter with the state, Exxon Mobil Corp., ConocoPhillips and TransCanada Corp. The companies have said the gas-line project, as proposed, would be the largest of its kind ever designed and built. The company said it remains committed to plans to continue investing in Prudhoe See BP, page A-8

Near Earth Objects program blasted By MARCIA DUNN AP Aerospace Writer

CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla. — NASA’s effort to identify potentially dangerous space rocks has taken a hit. On Monday, the space agency’s inspector general released a report blasting NASA’s Near Earth Objects program, which is meant to hunt and catalog comets, asteroids and relatively large fragments of these objects that pass within 28 million miles of Earth. The purpose is to protect the planet against

their potential dangers. Most near-Earth objects harmlessly disintegrate before reaching Earth’s surface. But there are exceptions, like the nearly 60-foot meteor that exploded over Russia in 2013, causing considerable damage. In a 44-page report, Inspector General Paul Martin said the Near Earth Objects program needs to be better organized and managed, with a bigger staff. NASA’s science mission chief, former astronaut John Grunsfeld, agreed and promised the problems will be fixed.

“NASA places a high priority on finding and characterizing hazardous asteroids to protect our home planet from them” he said in a statement. According to the report, the program has an executive at NASA headquarters and two offices in Massachusetts and California, each with six employees. For nearly a decade, the report noted, NASA has been tracking near-Earth objects bigger than 460 feet across. The goal was to catalog 90 percent by 2020.

The space agency has discovered and plotted the orbits of more than 11,000 near-Earth objects since 1998, an estimated 10 percent. It does not expect to meet the 2020 deadline. The program has insufficient oversight, Martin’s office concluded, and no established milestones to track progress. In addition, NASA needs to do a better job of overseeing the various observatories searching for near-Earth objects, and teaming up with other U.S. and international agencies, the report said.

Study: Leaky gas wells cause of contamination By SETH BORENSTEIN AP Science Writer

WASHINGTON — The drilling procedure called fracking didn’t cause muchpublicized cases of tainted groundwater in areas of Pennsylvania and Texas, a new study finds. Instead, it blames the contamination on problems in pipes and seals in natural gas wells. After looking at dozens of cases of suspected contamination, the scientists focused on eight hydraulically fractured wells in those states, where they chemically linked the tainted water to the gas wells. They

then used chemical analysis to figure out when in the process of gas extraction methane leaked into groundwater. “We found the evidence suggested that fracking was not to blame, that it was actually a well integrity issue,” said Ohio State University geochemist Thomas Darrah, lead author of the study. He said those results are good news because that type of contamination problem is easier to fix and is more preventable. The work was released Monday by The Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences. In fracking, highly pressurized chemicals and water are

pumped deep underground to break shale and release natural gas for harvesting. The fracking process has become highly charged. It started a boom of natural gas drilling and with it, an initial surge of reports of water contamination nearby. People started pointing fingers at the fracking process, thinking that the fracturing allowed methane to travel up, outside the pipes, into water supplies. In at least two cases around one well in Texas, scientists saw people’s homes have their water supplies go from clean to contaminated during the year of study, with methane levels jumping ten-fold, said Stanford

University environmental sciences professor Rob Jackson, co-author of the study. Methane while not particularly toxic is explosive and a potent greenhouse gas. “I don’t think homeowners care what step in the process the water contamination comes,” Jackson said. “They just care that their lives have changed because drilling has moved next door.” The scientists reached their conclusions by chemically analyzing methane and other chemicals in the groundwater. That let them link the contamination to particular wells, and then to discover what part of the drilling process was responsible.

Prosecutors seek $13K in restoration costs in Banksy defacement case By LINDSAY WHITEHURST Associated Press

PARK CITY, Utah — A California man pleaded guilty Monday to defacing two Park City murals believed to have been done by the mysterious British graffiti artist Banksy. If David William Noll, 36, pays $13,000 in restoration costs before a November sentencing hearing, prosecutors say they won’t seek jail time as part of a plea deal. Noll told a judge Monday he was suffering from a bout with bipolar disorder when he drove to Park City and damaged the works on New Year’s Eve. “Banksy” is a pseudonym for the graffiti artist known for silhouetted figures and spraypainted messages that show up in unexpected places. His works have sold for as much as $1.1 million at auction. The Park City murals appeared on the city’s historic Main Street in 2010, around the time Banksy was in town for the Sundance Film Festival debut of his documentary, “Exit Through the Gift Shop.” One depicts a young boy with a pink halo and angel wings kneeling to pray behind a can of pink paint. It was found covered in brown spray paint after the protective glass was shattered. Also damaged was a bulletproof-glass cover over a mural of a cameraman shooting video footage of a flower. A spider-web crack on the glass obscured the image. Citing YouTube videos police say Noll posted about the vandalism, Summit County Attorney David Brickey said he appears to be a frustrated artist who didn’t understand the acclaim that surrounds the elusive Banksy. “He said it was graffiti, and he was just marking it up again,” said Brickey, describing the videos. At a hearing Monday, Noll wore a tie decorated with a

Noll told state court Judge Todd Shaughnessy that he has little memory of defacing the murals, but viewing the videos and talking to his family convinced him that he had damaged the works. Noll has also served about five months in jail after pleading no contest to vandalizing Banksy works in Los Angeles.

Alaska National Guard findings shock, disappoint “I am extremely frustrated and I am

Opinion

CLARION P

angry that it has taken this long to get to the bottom of these issues. In hindsight it clearly should not have taken this long and I offer my deepest apologies,” Gov. Sean Parnell said at a press conference Thursday after announcing the results of a federal investigation into misconduct in the Alaska National Guard. The report’s findings were damning: it found cases — often unreported due to mistrust of Guard leadership — of sexual assault, misuse of government property and fraud. At Thursday’s conference, Gov. Parnell told reporters he had asked for and received the resignation of the Guard’s Adjutant General Thomas Katkus. But he was right — the widespread issues plaguing the Guard between 2007 and 2011 had gone too long without response. Most of the responsibility for that inaction lies with the Guard and its command structure — and some rests with Gov. Parnell, its commander in chief. Both would be well advised to take lessons away from a years-long scandal that eroded faith of Guard members in their branch of service. Undoubtedly, the public’s faith in the organization has been eroded as well. Unquestionably, much of the blame for the conditions in the Guard falls on the shoulders of the Guard’s chain of command. The National Guard Bureau Office of Complex Investigations found problems both inherent to the Guard’s structure as well as hostile environments that were ignored or in some cases encouraged by commanding officers. The report singled out the Guard’s recruiting and retention arm as a particular source of issues, including “misuse of government vehicles, fraud, adultery, inappropriate relationships and sexual assault.” Contributing to those issues was the reportedly close ties between the unit’s commander and Gen. Katkus, giving what some Guard members described as an air of invulnerability. The nature and number of incidents found by the National Guard Bureau are disturbing, and what makes them more tragic is the time span between when reports first began to surface of problems in the Guard and the date on which meaningful action was finally taken. Despite reports of serious problems to Gov. Parnell’s administration as early as 2010, the administration’s response appears to have been to defer to Guard leadership on cleaning up their affairs. We don’t think Gov. Parnell was deliberately sweeping Guard problems under the rug as the report found had been done within the organization itself, but he deferred to Gen. Katkus’ leadership for too long. In January, Gov. Parnell told interviewers that Gen. Katkus had been diligent in his efforts to root out problems in the Guard, despite a thorough and specific account of sexual assault allegations published months earlier in the Anchorage Daily News. It wasn’t until the end of February that Gov. Parnell finally sought outside assistance in dealing with the issues. It was that federal investigation — not any state action — that finally exposed the nature and extent of the issues in the Guard. Given the seriousness of the allegations and the fact that they continued to flow to legislators and administration officials after Guard officials said the organization had made appropriate changes to address the situation, the governor should have shown less deference to Gen. Katkus’ handling of the problems, and asked for a third party to investigate earlier. While it wouldn’t have helped those who had already suffered under the misconduct within the ranks, it would have shown that Gov. Parnell was taking the issue seriously, in line with his policy of rooting out domestic violence and sexual assault across the state. The National Guard Bureau’s report won’t be the end of the reporting on misdeeds within the Alaska National Guard. Based on their report’s findings, the bureau also plans to investigate cases of fraud within the organization. We hope that Gov. Parnell’s efforts to reform the Guard to ensure such misconduct won’t be tolerated in the future don’t stop at the resignation of Gen. Katkus, but extend as far as necessary to restore the confidence of Guard members and the public that the organization can be trusted. — Fairbanks Daily News-Miner, Sept. 7

Hillary’s ‘steak’ is not well done

Prior to his annual steak fry, retiring Sen. Tom Harkin (D-Iowa) said this about Hillary Clinton to Dan Balz of The Washington Post: “...she is much more progressive in her thoughts and her inclination than most people may think.” Liberals have embraced the word “progressive” because it sounds more forwardlooking than “liberal,” which has a track record voters periodically reject when the ideology doesn’t live up to its declared goals (think Hubert Humphrey, George McGovern, Michael Dukakis, John Kerry, John Edwards and Al Gore, among others). There is much we know about Hillary Clinton by whatever label she chooses to wear or hide behind. She has been in the national spotlight for more than two decades and most people have already decided what they think of her. A Wall Street Journal/NBC News Poll indicates the substantial obstacles Mrs. Clinton must overcome should she run for president. Forty-one percent of those polled have a negative view of her; 43 percent have a positive view and just 16 percent are neutral. That is a very high negative with which to begin a presidential campaign and the political ads haven’t even hit the airwaves. The Wall Street Journal’s Peter Nicholas touched at the heart of Mrs. Clinton’s problem when he wrote: “Some Democrats who backed other candidates in the state’s caucuses in 2008 say they haven’t

yet warmed to Mrs. Clinton. Others bristled at her recent criticism of President Barack Obama’s Mideast policy...some say they want to see a more accessible and authentic candidate than the one who Cal Thomas finished third behind Mr. Obama and former Sen. John Edwards of North Carolina (in 2008).” That warmth and accessibility is a problem for her. She is not perceived as having, “the milk of human kindness by the quart in every vein,” as Henry Higgins said of himself in the musical “My Fair Lady.” If Ronald Kessler’s new book “In the President’s Secret Service,” a behind-thescenes look at the elite protective agency and the president’s inner circle, is to be believed, Mrs. Clinton treated her Secret Service detail so badly that some agents told him to be assigned to her was regarded as “a form of punishment.” The other problem is her record. Neither she, nor her most ardent defenders, are able to come up with anything substantive she did as first lady (Hillarycare failed to get through a Democratic Congress), senator (mostly forgettable legislation and resolutions, other than her voting to give President Bush authority to conduct the wars in Afghanistan and Iraq) or as secretary of

state where she failed to “reset” relations with Russia, advance Middle East peace and adequately protect the U.S. mission in Benghazi, Libya, which led to the deaths of the U.S. ambassador and three other Americans. An indication of how difficult it will be to sell Mrs. Clinton as a competent president comes from a column by Nicholas Kristof of The New York Times, who tries his best to create a positive record for her: “Clinton achieved a great deal and left a hefty legacy — just not the traditional kind. ... For starters, Clinton recognized that our future will be more about Asia than Europe.” This is hardly breaking news. Kristof added: “More fundamentally, Clinton vastly expanded the diplomatic agenda. Diplomats historically focused on ‘hard’ issues, like trade or blowing up stuff, and so it may seem weird and ‘soft’ to fret about women’s rights or economic development.” At a time when our enemies are not just “blowing up stuff,” but beheading journalists and aid workers, “hard issues” are increasingly important. Opponents may wish to ask the same question Mrs. Clinton asked of Barack Obama in 2008. Who do you want to answer that “3 a.m. phone call”? Should a strong Republican candidate emerge, it should be obvious. Readers may email Cal Thomas at tcaeditors@tribune.com.

The founders of the nation created a Constitutional Republic, a limited democracy. We all talk about Freedom, Liberty, the Constitution and our Bill of Rights. Few have studied and understand what it all means. Especially the politicians. The majority rule over the minority. Politicians listen to the “experts” who tell them what it all means. We have become what our founders feared, a Democracy. Which is nothing more than mob rule through extortion by government. I do believe in the need for government (few understand its purpose). I also care for my animals well. But I also understand Economics is the linchpin of Liberty and Freedom. Democracy is nothing more than economic enslavement of the minority by the majority.

Nation & World Around the World Qatar: host to US military forces while waiting on outcome of Mideast conflicts WASHINGTON — Just miles from where former Guantanamo Bay terror suspects have resettled, American warplanes take off from Qatar’s al-Udeid air base in the global war on extremism. The contrast in images illustrates why tiny but rich Qatar is an intriguing player in what President Barack Obama says will be a long battle to stop and eventually destroy the Islamic State group in Iraq and Syria. Qatar plays an outsize role as a U.S. military partner. It gained public praise from Obama for brokering the controversial deal that freed Army Sgt. Bowe Bergdahl from Taliban captivity in May in exchange for the release of five senior Taliban officials who had been imprisoned for years at the U.S.-run Guantanamo Bay prison in Cuba. Qatar promised Obama it would keep the five under watch for one year, although they would then be free to leave. The Obama administration also praised Qatar for its role in securing the release of extremist hostage Peter Theo Curtis. But Qatar also has a reputation as a supporter of Islamist groups in disfavor in Washington. Some in Congress suspect Qatar of funneling money to Islamic State militants, though the State Department says the U.S. has no evidence of it. Qatari officials in Doha had no immediate comment for this story, but the government has unequivocally denied that it backs the Islamic State group. Qatari Foreign Minister Khalid bin Mohammed al-Attiyah said last month that his country “does not support extremist groups, including ISIS, in any way.”

Young Scots tend to favor independence; older ones say keep things as they are

GLASGOW, Scotland — Across Scotland, dinner table talk is getting heated as families argue over how to vote in Scotland’s independence referendum. A generation gap has opened up, with younger voters more inclined to back independence and their elders tending to say they want to remain in the United Kingdom. Support for the status quo is strongest among the over60s, who worry about the consequences that breaking free would have on pensions, health care and savings; the pro-independence movement is largely being driven by under-40s. Neck-and-neck in the polls, the rival campaigns have called on core supporters to make a last ditch attempt to swing the vote by making the debate a family affair. The young have been urged to visit parents and grandparents to explain why they should support separation. The No camp has launched a counteroffensive by asking seniors to win young hearts and minds with their wisdom. “I was so proud of my grandpa when he told me he was voting Yes that I burst into tears,” said 23-year-old Miriam Brett, a campaigner for Generation Yes. “A Yes vote means so much to my generation. We want to let all our grandparents know that their future is secure in our hands, and with a Yes we can build a better future for ourselves and for our children.” Some polls suggest the No camp is trailing in every age group except the over-60s. Opinion surveys indicate more than 63 percent of that age group is expected to vote in favor of the union. As older people are more likely to be on the electoral roll, there has been a huge drive to get younger people engaged in the Yes campaign.

‘Gray Belt’ glimpse at a future where senior services pre-empt schools and roads INVERNESS, Fla. — A billboard at the county line advertises home health care services. Local churches try to create a feeling of belonging for elderly members who may be disconnected from family up north. Lawyers and accountants make house calls like doctors. Elderly residents get ferried to stores by a fleet of county minivans. Welcome to Citrus County, Florida, where more than a third of residents are senior citizens, one of the highest rates in the nation. The county isn’t simply a stereotype of Florida, where in just 15 years, one in four residents will be 65 or older. It’s a peek into the not-too-distant future of the nation, where the number will be one in five. In Citrus County, about 70 miles north of Tampa, health care dominates the labor force. Residents prefer to get their news from a newspaper. Strip malls have an unusually high number of hearing aid businesses. The library offers Medicaid planning seminars. Voters turn out in large numbers, albeit often by absentee ballot. Having such a high concentration of elderly citizens has its trade-offs. You get an engaged citizenry with high voter turnout and volunteerism, but also an economy based on lowskill jobs such as health-care aides, retail clerks and food service workers.

Hurricane Odile leaves ‘extensive’ damage to homes, hotels, businesses in California CABO SAN LUCAS, Mexico — Hurricane Odile blazed a trail of destruction through Mexico’s Baja California Peninsula on Monday that leveled everything from ramshackle homes to luxury hotels and big-box stores, leaving entire neighborhoods as disasters zones. About 30,000 tourists were being put up in temporary shelters in hotels and Los Cabos international airport remained closed. Emergency officials reported that 135 people were treated for minor injuries from things like flying glass or falling objects, but there were no serious injuries or deaths so far. Odile, which made landfall near Cabo San Lucas the previous night as a powerful Category 3 hurricane, toppled trees, power poles and road signs along the main highway, which at one point was swamped by rushing floodwaters. Countless windows were blown out of rental cars and high-end hotel rooms, and resort facades crumbled to the ground. “From what we have seen around here, everything is pretty much destroyed,” said Alejandro Tealdi, a 32-yearold resident of Cabo San Lucas. His home was damaged and suffered some flooding, but nobody was hurt. “In the seven years I’ve been here, I’ve never seen anything hit like this.” Luis Felipe Puente, national coordinator for Civil Protection, said most of the area’s power poles were blown over, leaving 239,000 people in the state of Baja California Sur without electricity. Many were also without drinkable water. Ports were closed. — The Associate Press

Rifle used to ambush troopers By MICHAEL RUBINKAM Associated Press

The gunman who ambushed two Pennsylvania State Police troopers outside their barracks, killing one, used a rifle and might have had formal firearms training through the military or law enforcement, authorities said Monday. Releasing a profile of the killer, Lt. Col. George Bivens said investigators are focusing on the possibility that he had an “ongoing issue with law enforcement or the government” and was targeting the Blooming Grove barracks specifically. Cpl. Bryon K. Dickson II, 38, was killed and another trooper was critically wounded in the Friday night ambush at the barracks in northeastern Pennsylvania. The attacker slipped away. Authorities have been combing the dense forest surrounding the barracks and stopping motorists at checkpoints throughout the area to ask if they saw anything that could help lead to an arrest. The gunman concealed himself effectively, and Dickson and critically wounded Trooper Alex T. Douglass had no chance to defend themselves,

‘You are a coward who did it from a place of hiding and ran.’ — Lt. Col. George Bivens Bivens said. Dickson was leaving the barracks and Douglass was heading inside when they were shot. “You are a coward” who “did it from a place of hiding and ran,” Bivens said, as if addressing the killer. “I want you to know that troopers are working around the clock to bring you to justice. The act that you committed may have been meant as an act of intimidation. It has not intimidated us. The Pennsylvania State Police is committed to bringing you to justice. We will find you and we will seek justice when we do.” Police continued to keep a tight lid on details about the ambush or the investigation, including the number of shots fired, where the shots originated and whether the troopers were able to return fire. But Bivens provided the killer’s profile in hopes it might help authorities catch him. The gunman might be un-

stable and ranted about his dispute with law enforcement to friends or on social media, Bivens said. He probably lived in the area and made several trips to the barracks to formulate his plans. He used a .308-caliber rifle and was probably an avid hunter or had formal training, and regularly practiced at a shooting range to keep his skills sharp. Several law enforcement agencies, including the FBI, were helping with the investigation. Authorities were poring over old cases investigated by the two troopers — and by others in the barracks and elsewhere — in hopes of turning up a suspect. A nonprofit group increased its reward offer to $75,000 for tips about the deadly assault at the remote post in the Pocono Mountains. Pennsylvania Crime Stoppers, which posted the reward offer, asked anyone with information to call

800-4PA-TIPS. Bivens said police are already following up on a number of tips that provided “credible information” about the ambush. Dickson’s funeral will be held Thursday at a Roman Catholic cathedral in Scranton. His wife of 10 years and two young sons survive the Marine Corps veteran, who joined the state police in 2007 and had worked as a patrol unit supervisor in the Blooming Grove barracks since June. Douglass, a nine-year veteran, was conscious and talking for the first time since he underwent surgery, and investigators planned to interview him. Earlier Monday, Gov. Tom Corbett said investigators won’t rest until they capture the gunman, and he asked the public to “pray for the soul” of Dickson. The governor, who toured the crime scene, called Dickson’s killing an assassination and planned to meet with family members. “This is an assault that was not only just on the individual troopers, it’s an assault on the state police, it’s an assault on law enforcement, it’s an assault on society,” Corbett said.

US open to talks with Iran on Islamic State By ELAINE GANLEY and LARA JAKES Associated Press

PARIS — As more than two dozen nations pledged Monday to help Iraq fight the Islamic State militants, the United States said it was open to talking to Iran about a role in resolving the crisis, despite Washington’s earlier opposition to Tehran even attending the conference. U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry ruled out any military coordination with Iran, which in the end was not invited to Paris. “That doesn’t mean that we are opposed to the idea of communicating to find out if they will come on board, or under what circumstances, or whether there is the possibility of a change,” Kerry told a small group of reporters. France and Iraq see Shiitepowerhouse Iran as an interlocutor who could bring its influence to bear in the region against the Sunni extremists of the Islamic State group, but some Arab states, like Saudi Arabia, disagree. The U.S. opposed a place for Iran at the conference. But Tehran, which has political and military influence with its neighbor Iraq, still managed to be part of the conversation. The absence of Iran underscored the conflicting sensitivities and complex politics in the region as Western countries seek to battle the Islamic State group, which has taken control of large parts of Iraq and Syria. The meeting of foreign ministers from Asia, the Middle East and the West was a first step toward deciding who does what in a multilayered offensive against the Islamic State group. As envisioned by France and Iraq, the effort would include intensifying airstrikes, cutting off financing, and helping Baghdad cope through humanitarian aid and reconstruction. There would be no combat troops on the ground, however. As the conference began, two French jets took off over Iraq in France’s first reconnaissance missions over the country in a sign of the larger battle ahead. The United States has led airstrikes over Iraq since August. “We are asking for airborne operations to be continued regularly against terrorist sites. We must not allow them to set up sanctuaries. We must pursue them wherever they are,” Iraqi President Fouad Massoum said, an apparent reference to neighboring Syria. Syria, deep in a civil war waged in part by rival extremist groups, was the wellspring for the Islamic State group, with its fighters sweeping across the border into Iraq, overwhelming the military in Sunni-dominat-

ed Anbar province and capitalizing on grievances against the Shiite-led government in Baghdad. The fighters went on to conquer Mosul, Iraq’s second-largest city, with the U.S.-trained military crumbling, and seized tanks and other military equipment, then steamrolled across northern Iraq. The CIA estimates the group has access to between 20,000 and 31,000 fighters in Iraq and Syria — including foreigners lured to the cause. The recent execution of three Western hostages — British aid worker David Haines and two American journalists — added new urgency to the task of creating a viable strategy to knock out the Islamic State group. “We must cut off their financing. We must bring them to justice and we must stop the fighters in neighboring countries from joining them,” Massoum said at the conference opening. The group brings in more than $3 million a day from oil smuggling, human trafficking, theft and extortion, according to U.S. intelligence officials and private experts. The Paris meeting was a coalition of strange bedfellows, some of whom have allegedly financed extremist groups in Syria and Iraq, and others, like Russia, which backs Syria’s Bashar Assad who is also supported by Iran. Less than a week ago in Baghdad, Kerry was clear about the U.S. position regarding Iran, embroiled in a years-long dispute with the West over concern that Tehran wants nuclear weapons. “The United States does not cooperate, militarily or otherwise, nor does it have any intention in this process of doing so, with Iran,” he had said. France, stressing a pragmatic approach, felt Iran could be an ally against a common enemy if, as President Francois Hollande said, Tehran “abides by principles permitting a sincere and useful conversation.” On Monday, Kerry, in an apparent about face, said he wouldn’t shut the door to talking to Iran about a common enemy. “We’re not coordinating with Iran, but as I said, we’re open to have a conversation at some point in time if there’s a way to find something constructive,” he said. Kerry spoke after Iran’s supreme leader, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, said the U.S. had in fact requested that Tehran join the fight against the Islamic State group but it rejected the overture because of Washington’s “unclean intentions.” Kerry did not respond directly to questions about that claim. He said there are often discussions on the sidelines of C

nuclear talks. “I’m never going to shut the door to something that could solve a problem if there’s a way to do it,” Kerry said. Back-door dealings are common in Middle East diplomacy, but it was unclear whether Iran would cooperate. Khamenei said Iran is proud not to be part of the U.S.-led coalition and warned it will suffer the same problems it suffered in the past should it enter Iraq and Syria without authorization. Massoum would have liked Iran at the talks. “We have a nearly 1,000-kilometer (625-mile) border with

them (Iran) and from the first day the Islamic State group made itself known ... Iran gave us humanitarian and military aid,” Massoum told The Associated Press ahead of the conference. He conceded “there are perhaps sensitivities between certain countries and Iran.” There was never any question of adding Iran to the coalition planning airstrikes, but Tehran is closely linked to Iraq. “There will be no success in Iraq without cooperation with Iran,” said Francois Gere, of the French Institute of Strategic Analysis.

Vikings decide to bring back Peterson By The Associated Press

EDEN PRAIRIE, Minn. — Adrian Peterson is coming back to the Minnesota Vikings two days after he was charged with child abuse for using a wooden switch to spank his 4-year-old son, and the star running back said Monday he is not a child abuser and wants “everyone to understand how sorry I feel about the hurt I have brought to my child.” Peterson, considered one of the best running backs in the NFL, was benched for Sunday’s 30-7 home loss to the New England and he had not commented publicly since news broke on Friday that he had lashed the boy with the switch earlier

this summer, causing an unspecified injuries. “I am not a perfect son. I am not a perfect husband. I am not a perfect parent, but I am, without a doubt, not a child abuser,” Peterson said in a nearly 500-word statement issued through his agency. “I am someone that disciplined his child and did not intend to cause him any injury. “No one can understand the hurt that I feel for my son and for the harm I caused him. My goal is always to teach my son right from wrong and that’s what I tried to do that day.” Vikings owners Zygi and Mark Wilf said they had decided to bring back Peterson for practices and Sunday’s game at New Orleans “after sig-

nificant thought, discussion and consideration.” The Wilfs said they want to let the legal process play out before making any more definitive decisions on Peterson’s future with the only NFL team he has ever played for. “To be clear, we take very seriously any matter that involves the welfare of a child,” the Wilfs said. “At this time, however, we believe this is a matter of due process and we should allow the legal system to proceed so we can come to the most effective conclusions and then determine the appropriate course of action. This is a difficult path to navigate, and our focus is on doing the right thing.”

Peterson faces an initial court appearance in Conroe, Texas, on Wednesday on a charge of reckless or negligent injury to a child, which carries penalties of up to two years in prison and a $10,000 fine. His attorney, Rusty Hardin, said he will try to delay the arraignment until next week after Hardin returns from a vacation out of the country. Corporal punishment is legal in Texas and non-deadly force against a child by a parent or guardian is permissible. But the punishment is abusive if it causes injury.

Pro wrestling to hit Kenai Saturday show will raise funds for Kenai Central wrestling team By JEFF HELMINIAK Peninsula Clarion

Not everybody can respond to all the donation requests from prep sports teams. But not everybody can put together a pro wrestling fundraiser instead. That’s exactly what Mathew Plant, who promotes the New Frontier Wrestling Alliance through his company Power Plant Productions, has done for the Kenai Central wrestling team. Plant said he wasn’t able to donate to the Kardinals, but still wanted to do something to support wrestling. “I used to wrestle when I was a kid, and I believe in the basic things that wrestling teaches young people,” said Plant, who has lived in Kenai for seven years. “The lesson I learned from amateur wrestling is that you have to work hard if you want victory. “It teaches you how to win and how to handle loss.” The New Frontier Wrestling Alliance started in November 2013. “A lot of these guys — people don’t know how athletic they are,” Plant said. “They’ve actually been training every

weekend in the last year to get this down.” The NFWA does shows in Wasilla every couple of weeks, and also has done two shows in Homer. One was for the Mariners wrestling team, while the other was to raise money for a $500 scholarship for a high school senior going into trades. This will be the first NFWA show in Kenai. “Pro wrestling isn’t mainstream up here,” Plant said. “We’re building an audience from scratch. But we went to Homer once and got a good reaction. When we went back to Homer, we drew more people.” NFWA heavyweight champ Calvin James will defend his title in the main event against AK Lightning. Plant said there will be four or five other matches. “It’s a family event,” Plant said. “I don’t want people to be afraid to bring their kids.” The doors to the Kenai Central gym open at 6 p.m. Saturday, while the show starts at 7 p.m. The cost is $10, with tickets available at the door. Plant said the wrestlers make some money, but the majority of funds go to the wrestling squad.

Woods builds strength WINDEMERE, Fla. (AP) — Tiger Woods is too busy in the gym to find a new swing coach, or even swing a golf club. Woods said Monday his strength has returned from “busting my butt in the gym pretty hard” and he is on schedule to resume competition in December. But he still hasn’t hit a golf ball since he missed the cut at the PGA Championship on Aug. 8, and still doesn’t know when he will. “We’re pretty much past the

Indianapolis Colts’ Greg Toler makes an interception against Philadelphia Eagles wide receiver Jeremy Maclin (18) during the first half of an NFL football game Monday in Indianapolis.

Eagles come back, top Colts MICHAEL MAROT AP Sports Writer

INDIANAPOLIS — With Nick Foles at quarterback and LeSean McCoy and Darren Sproles in the backfield, the Philadelphia Eagles are never out of the game. They proved it again on Monday night. Foles threw a tying touchdown pass with 3:25 to go, and then set up Cody Parkey for the winning 36-yard field goal as time expired, lifting Philadelphia to a 30-27 win at the Indianapolis Colts. Sproles had seven receptions for 152 yards to go along with a touchdown run as the Eagles (2-0) won their first

game on the road for the sixth consecutive season. Philadelphia, which stormed back from a 17-0 halftime deficit to beat Jacksonville 34-17 in Week 1, also became the fourth team in the last 30 years to win consecutive games in which it trailed by 14 or more points in the 2nd half, according to STATS. “He’s just a special player,” coach Chip Kelly said, praising Sproles for his role in the prime-time comeback. “The first day we had him it was, ‘How many different ways can we find ways to get him the football?’ He’s just a dynamic football player.” Philadelphia’s latest rally came against the defending

AFC South champs, against a team that had never lost backto-back regular-season games with Andrew Luck at quarterback. The Colts (0-2) led 17-6 at halftime, but committed two costly turnovers in the second half that the Eagles turned into 14 second-half points. Foles was 21 of 37 for 331 yards with one touchdown — a 6-yard pass to Jeremy Maclin with 3:25 to go that tied it at 27. McCoy ran 20 times for 79 yards and scored Philadelphia’s first touchdown of the night with 4:32 left in the third quarter. The Eagles appeared to be in trouble when Indianapolis was driving with a 27-20 lead in the fourth. But Luck’s short

pass intended for T.Y. Hilton with 5:08 to go was intercepted by Malcolm Jenkins. Two plays later, McCoy was stopped for a loss but LaRon Landry was called for a questionable horse-collar tackle. Sproles then took a swing pass for a 51-yard gain to the 6, and Foles found Maclin for the tying score. “Without Sproles, we would be in some trouble, to be honest, we really would. That’s why we’re a team,” McCoy said. “When guys are struggling, he’s picking everybody up. He’s helping me out. I need to get my thing together. I don’t feel like I’m playing to the level I should be playing at.”

Angels top Mariners to clinch playoff spot By The Associated Press

ANAHEIM, Calif. — The Los Angeles Angels became the first team in the major leagues to clinch a playoff spot on Monday night, with Matt Shoemaker pitching five-hit ball into the eighth inning of an 8-1 victory over the Seattle Mariners. David Freese and Brennan Boesch homered for the big league-leading Angels (94-56), who reduced their magic number to three in the AL West race with their 11th victory in 12 games. Los Angeles is assured of at least a wild card berth in its first postseason since 2009. ORIOLES 5, BLUE JAYS 2 BALTIMORE — The Orioles moved to the brink of claiming their first AL East title in 17 years, using a resilient pitching performance by Wei-Yin Chen to beat the Blue Jays. Baltimore can clinch the division crown with a win over Toronto on Tuesday. That would assure the Orioles their second playoff berth in three years following a run of 14 consecutive losing seasons.

tention, could be judged abusive. The guidelines also say use of an instrument “is cause for concern.” Hardin said Peterson used a switch because that was the way he was brought up by his parents in Palestine, Texas, and the NFL star agreed. “I have to live with the fact that when I disciplined my son the way I was disciplined as a child, I caused an injury that I never intended or thought would happen,” Peterson said. “I know that many people disagree with the way I disciplined my child. I also understand after meeting with a psychologist that there are other alternative ways of disciplining a child that may be more appropriate.”

RG3 should return this season ASHBURN, Va. — The Washington Redskins are optimistic that Robert Griffin III will return this season. Less clear is how much more Griffin can take before the “injuryprone” label supersedes anything else he accomplishes in his NFL career. An MRI exam on Monday revealed that Griffin doesn’t have any broken bones to go along with his dislocated left ankle, which means he doesn’t need season-ending surgery and could theoretically return in a couple of months if all goes well with his rehab. Kirk Cousins will be the starting quarterback for much — if not all — of the rest of the year. “This game, we only get to play it for such a short period of time,” safety Ryan Clark said, “so, for me, it’s more just being sad for Rob. The football part of it goes on. The game? The NFL ain’t never missed a play. They’re going to keep playing no matter who’s in those jerseys.” Griffin was hurt when his left ankle planted awkwardly into the turf during the first quarter of the Sunday’s 41-10 win over the Jacksonville Jaguars. The scene was familiar: Griffin lying on the turf, the crowd murmuring with concern, teammates offering support. His tears spoke volumes.

Griffin missed all or part of four games during his record-setting rookie season of 2012, yielding the field to Cousins because of a concussion and later due to injuries to a right knee that eventually had to be surgically reconstructed for a second time. In 2013, he missed part of one game with a tweaked left knee and was benched for the final three games by coach Mike Shanahan. Rivera is not sure if Hardy will play CHARLOTTE, N.C. — Panthers coach Ron Rivera isn’t sure if Greg Hardy will play Sunday night against the Pittsburgh Steelers. Rivera also said Monday that the team hasn’t considered releasing the Pro Bowl defensive end who is involved in a domestic violence case. He added that Hardy will continue to practice and attend team meetings, but the coach won’t make a decision on when Hardy plays until later this week. The Panthers plan to continue gathering information in what Rivera said is “a very fluid situation.” Hardy was convicted July 15 of assault on a female and communicating threats after the victim claimed he threw her down on a bed of guns and tossed her into the shower. He is appealing the ruling. Players’ union to appeal Rice suspension NEW YORK — The players’ union on Tuesday plans to appeal the indefinite suspension the NFL handed to Ray Rice last week. NFL Players Association spokesman George Atallah told The Associated Press on Monday “we are expecting to appeal before the deadline on Tuesday night.” That deadline is 11:59 p.m. EDT. Rice originally was suspended two games under the NFL’s personal conduct policy for striking his then-fiancee in a hotel elevator. When videotape of that incident was made public and showed Rice punching his nowwife Janay, knocking her unconscious, the Baltimore Ravens released the running back. Almost immediately after that, NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell made Rice’s suspension indefinite.

KPC welding instructor Fritz Miller said Connor Jezorski was a good student and passed the plate test to become a certified welder in one semester last December. The one-year certificate in welding technology gives students the specific training for structural and pipe welding, which is a sought after skill in the oil and gas industry, Miller said.

She said they had been dating for two years and she was excited for their future together. “He was so sweet and genuinely cared about everybody,” she said. “This has been a roller coaster week of emotions. I will be fine and then just start crying uncontrollably.” Lee said the support from family and friends has helped her cope. She said she has spent a lot of time with the Jezorski family and has become closer with them through the tragedy. She said eventually she would probably move to Washington to be with family.

Around Alaska Wasilla police involved in fatal shooting ANCHORAGE — Wasilla police say they are investigating an officer-involved shooting that left a 23-year-old man dead. Two officers responded to a home after a 911 hang-up call early Monday morning, but authorities are not saying how many officers actually fired weapons. Police are releasing little information about the shooting at a home on North Jack Nicholas Drive. Officer Rick Manrique says police have requested that Alaska State Troopers investigate. Manrique says he cannot discuss specifics, but adds the shooting occurred because officers feared imminent life-threatening injury to themselves or others. Manrique says one other person was at the scene when the shooting occurred. He says the officers have been placed on administrative leave for 72 hours, according to department policy. The names of the officers were not immediately released.

he worked in a gold mine, Mike Jezorksi said maybe if he stayed in Bethel, he would still be alive today. “I’m not sure what happened, if maybe he dozed off or what, we may never know,” he said. “There is nothing we can do about it now. We have to move on.” According to statistics from the Alaska Department of Transportation and Public Facilities released in August, traffic crashes killed 56 Alaskans during 2010 and one person died on Alaska highways every 6.5 days. A 2011 study from the Alaska Department of Health and Social Services lists unintentional injuries like a motor-vehicle accident as the third leading cause of death in Alaska. Kant said the cause of the

crash is still under investigation. Police are waiting for toxicology reports but there is no evidence to suggest drugs or alcohol played a role in the accident, he said. Mike and Vickie Jezorski have planned a beach bonfire on Cannery Road Friday, Oct. 3 for family and friends to come together to celebrate Connor’s life. While plans for a memorial service have not been finalized yet, the family said any friends and family are welcome to come. “He was a good kid, always with a smile on his face,” Mike Jezorski said. “He liked snowboarding, being in the woods and loved his truck. He had his whole life ahead of him.” Reach Dan Balmer at daniel.balmer@peninsulaclarion. com.

incidents this summer, the most recent coming this past week. Authorities said they believe someone is burning trees by setting their leaking sap on fire, the Juneau Empire reported. The fires have been in the vicinity of the Mendenhall Glacier Recreational Center. The fires appear to have been intentionally set, but the motive is “pretty much a mystery at this point and we don’t have much to go on,” Forest Service Regional Patrol Commander Mel Carver said. The fires have done no serious damage, though at least one tree was felled, Capital City Fire/Rescue said in a report. Firefighters extinguished some of the fires while rain helped others burn out. The first reported case occurred on July 19, within the Forest Service-managed Mendenhall Campground. That was followed by fires on Aug 1 at Dredge Lake and Aug. 5 on the Forest Service-maintained Trail of Time, which starts behind the Mendenhall Glacier Visitor Center. Another burned tree was also found on the nearby Under Thunder trail. At least four trees were set on fire on the Brotherhood Bridge trail this past week, Carver said.

A-12 Peninsula Clarion, Tuesday, September 16, 2014

Husband’s ‘educational’ dvds get flunking grade from wife should be discussed with your therapist so you won’t feel coerced into anything you can’t handle.

DEAR ABBY: I am a woman in my early 60s. I take good care of myself and have been told I’m attractive. I have been in a monogamous relationship with “Frank” for six years. I love him and he loves me, but I’m not sure I Abigail Van Buren want to marry him. I know I couldn’t live with Frank full-time because even though he’s 57, he lives like an immature frat boy. He has sports memorabilia all over his house, and he’s messy. There are piles of paper and stacks of clothes everywhere. He is a hoarder, a procrastinator and has OCD. Frank and I are best friends. We have an amazing physical relationship, but I feel I want more. I don’t think he’s willing to change his ways at this point in his life. Should I accept this relationship for what it is, or look for someone more compatible with my lifestyle, as hard as that would be? — TORN IN TEXAS DEAR TORN: I think you should have a talk

with Frank and lay your cards on the table. You say he is a hoarder, a procrastinator and has OCD. If you are right, they may all be connected. His house isn’t the only thing that may be chaotic; his mind may be, too. The good news is there is help for OCD and hoarding — but only IF HE IS WILLING TO GET IT. If he is open to it, your relationship could go to the next level. However, if he is resistant and marriage is what you want, it would be better to move on and find someone whose lifestyle is more like your own. 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.

Rubes

Tonight: Dinner for two. GEMINI (May 21-June 20) HHH You’ll breeze through the morning until you might trip over an obstacle involving your funds or a financial agreement. You might feel confused, as what you are seeing won’t be the same as what you are hearing. Tonight: Go over your budget before making any plans. CANCER (June 21-July 22) HHHH By mid-morning, you’ll perk up and seem more interested in others. You’ll have the energy and right attitude to get past any problems. Others might step back and become less helpful because they assume you can handle it all. Is that what you want? Tonight: Pace yourself. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) HHH You might choose to have a lowkey day, yet someone could decide to invade your space. You will have no choice but to deal with the issue at hand. Responsiveness will help facilitate a sense of mutuality. Know what you want to deal with. Tonight: Do your vanishing act. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) HHHH Look at the bottom line during a meeting. Others likely will feel differently than you do. You might decide to go out on your own. The question remains: What is best for you? You will discover that others will join you along the way. Tonight: Whatever makes you smile. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) HHHH You’ll feel relaxed as long as you look at the big picture. A problem is likely to occur when you become too immersed in an issue. Frustration and anger easily could come to surface. Do not sit on these feelings; instead, express them in a way oth-

Hints from Heloise

Jacqueline Bigar’s Stars A baby born today has a Sun in Virgo and a Moon in Gemini if born before 11:24 a.m. (PDT). Afterward, the Moon will be in Cancer. HAPPY BIRTHDAY for Tuesday, Sept. 16, 2014: This year you open up to many new adventures. Your drive and energy will make a difference on the homefront. You could move, remodel your home and/or build a new addition. You also could be prone to fighting with those you live with, especially if you don’t have a good outlet for your high energy. If you are single, you are drawn to people who inspire you. Get to know someone before you become emotionally involved. If you are attached, the two of you often differ when it comes to deciding on plans. Go along with your significant other’s choices more often, as he or she tends to let go more easily than you do. CANCER helps you create more of what you want. 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 Use the early morning to make calls and have meetings. As the day goes on, you might need some time to tackle a problem. You will benefit from having private time. You might strive to see the big picture, but it could be difficult at this point. Tonight: At home. TAURUS (April 20-May 20) HHHHHandleafinancialmatterimmediately, and you will be more relaxed. Act quickly and ask questions. Seek out the information you want. A wide range of opinions could be difficult to handle at times, yet they will prove beneficial to your long-term goals.

ers can hear. Tonight: Out late. SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) HHHHHYou finally will achieve the level of understanding and relaxation you’ve been seeking. Your ability to see past the obvious defines a situation. Your detachment allows others to come to you in order to gain a deeper perspective. Remain open. Tonight: Follow your imagination. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) HHHHYour energy could greenlight a conversation that someone has been trying to have with you. Stop resisting, and be open to the process. The other party might be very sensitive, yet he or she will understand where you are coming from. Tonight: Dinner at a favorite place. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) HHHH Others seem to rule the roost today. Consider your options, and decide not to fight what the majority wants. Try to express your feelings in a way they can be heard. You might have a lot of questions to ask at this present moment. Tonight: Sort through invitations. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) HHHH You could be taken aback by recent events. You might decide that you have had enough and head in a different direction. A friend is likely to push you hard to do what he or she wants to do. Honor who you are. Tonight: Run some errands on the way home. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) HHHHH Your imagination emerges once more to help you find your way. Your caring toward a loved one won’t go unnoticed. Be careful with those in charge, as they might have some kind of grievance with you. Tonight: Enjoy the one you are with.

Hold on to the history of your health Dear Heloise: With all the changes that are being made in health-insurance laws, you never know when you will be required to complete an application for new coverage. Most insurance companies require years of health history. My hint: Never trash or shred explanation of benefits from your insurance company. These are a timeline for when you’ve had every doctor visit, lab test, ER visit, surgery, etc., and you’ll easily be able to list them on the application. — Ellen in Arkansas A very good idea, and one that is worth doing! It can be bothersome to try to recall all major illnesses, etc. If you receive a quarterly or year-end statement, keep these for several years, just in case. If someone has a serious or ongoing illness, keep the paperwork, even if you need a file box! Ensure return Dear Heloise: For over a week, I was missing my black, small portfolio with important books and documents. After doing a lot of searching in my car and my home, I gave up on it. Today, when I opened the front door, I was surprised to see my missing portfolio on a chair by the door. With it was a business card from the manager of a restaurant, who must have so kindly dropped it off. I left it while dining, and the manager saw my name and mailing address taped on the portfolio. It’s a good idea to stick a mailing label on cellphones, books, purses, etc., but also to write a phone number in case you leave or lose an item. If you are lucky, a good, honest and thoughtful person like the manager of the restaurant I ate in will contact you. — Eloisa in Calif.

DEAR ABBY: I am a full-time mother of three young children and have been married for nine years. Since the beginning, my husband has pushed to have things “his way.” He struggles with his temper and has yelled at me over little things. We have met with a counselor and were showing improvement in our marriage — or so I thought — until he started pushing me to watch explicit sex DVDs and read sex books. I feel very uncomfortable doing this. He claims he wants us to watch them for “educational reasons.” He seems obsessed with the idea that we have to get the most out of life NOW because we are getting older. I know we have some big issues to overcome and plan to continue seeing our counselor, but do you have any advice? — STRUGGLING IN THE SOUTH DEAR STRUGGLING: I’m all for getting the most out of life regardless of how old a person is. And I’m pleased that you and your husband are talking to a licensed therapist, because it may help to save your marriage.

Don’t forget pets in emergency planning LINCOLN, Neb. (AP) — Nebraska’s governor and first lady are urging residents to create a plan for their pets when preparing for emergencies. Gov. Dave Heineman and his wife, Sally Ganem, stressed the need for planning during an appearance Monday at the Capitol with Snickers, the “first puppy.” The emergency package for Snickers — a 5-yearold silky terrier and Maltese mix — includes sev-

eral days’ worth of food and water, medicine, bowls, collars and leashes and a first-aid kit, among other items. Bryan Tuma, assistant director of the Nebraska Emergency Management Agency, says pet owners should plan ahead of time, as they would for any other family member. Tuma says they should also pick a friend or neighbor to help the pet in cases when an owner isn’t at home.
