Lolo Matalasi Moliga has approved the Medicaid Office s move to pursue a Medicare Buy-In option and enrolling new Medicaid Providers for American Samoa, according to a news release from the ASG Medicaid Office, headed by Sandra King-Young. Further, the governor s approval triggers processes for the Medicaid Office to define and implement procedures with the Center for Medicaid and Medicare (CMS) approval, for the following Medicaid benefits: Medicare Buy- In, Off-island referral and New Medicaid Provider Enrollment. It s important to note that the Governor has approved the Medicaid office with moving forward to secure these new benefits under the Medicaid program, King-Young said Thursday. Before we can utilize these benefits, we must first finalize procedures with CMS and secure the local matching requirement. When these two issues are met, the Medicaid office will do public outreach to enroll Medicare beneficiaries and new providers, she added. MEDICARE BUY-IN Under this benefit, the local Medicaid program will help pay a certain percentage of Medicare premiums for people age 65 or older, people under age 65 with certain disabilities, and people of all ages with ESRD (End-Stage Renal Disease permanent kidney failure requiring dialysis or a kidney transplant), the news release says. What this percentage will be is yet to be confirmed but will include payment for Medicare Part A and Part B. The key benefit of Medicare coverage is that beneficiaries, especially retirees and the disabled who cannot afford to keep their Medicare coverage will now have financial assistance to keep their coverage, it says. It is very important to the eligible population to sign up for Medicare coverage once they first become eligible when the premiums are lower. If people wait too long after they become eligible, then the premiums increase and these premiums become permanent for the duration (Continued on page 14) office of highway safety

Boy arrested in beating of 87-year-old woman HEMET, Calif. (AP) A 14-year-old boy charged with brutally beating an 87-year-old woman at a senior housing facility was arrested following a dayslong search in California, authorities said. The assault occurred during an apparent robbery at the Camelot Independent Living complex in the Riverside County city of Hemet, police said. It s an 87-year-old victim minding her own business in the safety of her own home, police Lt. Dean Evans told the Riverside Press-Enterprise. The woman remained hospitalized Friday in critical but stable condition, police said. Investigators said it appeared she was not specifically targeted. No further details were released about the attack. The teen was taken into custody Thursday night at a hotel in Temecula, Evans told the newspaper. A 15-year-old boy was arrested on April 17, the day of the attack. He was being held without bail at Southwest Juvenile Hall. Both were charged earlier this week with burglary, torture, elder abuse and assault with a deadly weapon, said John Hall, a spokesman for the Riverside County district attorney s office. Officers searching for the 14-year-old released a flier with his name and photograph. A police news release said the department does not usually identify juvenile suspects, but due to the serious nature of this case an exception was made in an effort to protect the public and aid in the capture of the suspect. Evans said the boy had extensive contacts with police in the past involving curfew issues and crimes. Police have contacted family members, but would not say whether they have cooperated. The Associated Press is not naming the boy because of his age.

4 Page 4 samoa news, Saturday, April 26, 2014 THE BOB FRANKEN COLUMN Health-Care Politics Not So Fast By Bob Franken Just to be clear, I may have been wrong. Of course, that s nothing new for a political commentator, although usually we don t have to admit we were mistaken. I have been among the herd-followers who have argued that Obamacare might do in the Democrats chances in this year s elections for control of the Senate, with Republicans wasting no chance whatsoever to tarnish their opponents with the Affordable Care Act. Now, however, I m beginning to waver (another privilege that goes with this job). There are some indications that the GOP and its mega-rich supporters may be overplaying their one-card hand. No, this vacillation is not prompted by the news that the administration s Affordable Care Act participation projections have been exceeded, with 8 million sign-ups so far, including a respectable chunk of those high-value low-age enrollees. Nor is it influenced at all by President Barack Obama s declaration that, This thing might be working. Thank you for sharing, Mr. President, but your opinion is not affecting mine. Instead, there are some glimmers out there that might shed some new light on appropriate strategies for this year s campaigning. The latest Reuters/Ipsos poll shows that one-third of the online respondents say they favor the Democrats approach to health care, versus 18 percent who prefer the Republicans. That s an increase for the White House and a down figure for the GOP. Of course, 40 percent of those participating had no earthly idea which party had which plan, which is a bummer, but it shows a slight upward trend for the Dems. In February, Obamacare approval was at 25 percent. If that momentum continues, it could mean that people are starting to get weary of the Republicans incessant hammering on the subject. In the House, they ve passed more than 50 bills that would repeal or sabotage health-care reform, and maybe it s time to cool their jets. Couple that with the barrage of TV ads already flooding us from well-financed conservative groups trashing Democrats for having anything to do with Obamacare, and maybe, just maybe, a growing number of voters are wondering whether the GOP will stop long enough to reveal a credible alternative. Don t hold your breath. Added to the mix is the reality that some of the reforms are widely popular. So the president and his people are trying to shore up some enthusiasm for playing offense instead of defense. Their argument is that while the rollout was a well-documented disaster, repairs have been made and the new health system is starting to gain traction. That may be premature, but it s food for thought for candidates in his party who were abandoning what they perceived to be Obama s sinking ship. Instead of saying, Health-care plan? What health-care plan? they suddenly might recall, Oh yeah, that health-care plan. As for the Republicans, there is no shortage of controversies, so they can have plenty of other issues with which to scorch the midterm election earth between now and November. Now I have contended both that health care means the Democrats are in deep trouble and also that perhaps they re not. It s ideal: Whatever the outcome, I ll be correct and can brag about it.

Standoff at LA veterans hall ends with arrest LOS ANGELES (AP) A distraught man possibly armed with a shotgun kept police at bay at a San Fernando Valley veterans hall for seven hours Friday before he was tear-gassed and surrendered, police said. The 52-year-old man left the Disabled American Veterans Hall about 2:30 p.m., police said. His name wasn t immediately released. Police answering a report of an assault with a deadly weapon went to the hall about 7:30 a.m. A caretaker said a man with a shotgun was inside and was despondent over a relationship, Sgt. Berry Montgomery said. Police cordoned off the area and evacuated about a dozen nearby homes. Negotiators also were brought in. It s my understanding he is loosely associated with veterans facility. But I was advised he was not a veteran, Montgomery said. TV news helicopters spotted the man leaving and re-entering the building through a door, and he also appeared to break out a window with his hand. At one point, the man threatened to kill himself, police said. Police finally lobbed tear gas into the building, although the man tossed one smoking canister back outside. He eventually surrendered, however. Bombing at southern Thai beach kills 3 policemen HAT YAI, Thailand (AP) An explosion at a fishing competition Friday in Thailand s insurgency-plagued south has killed three policemen and wounded 17 other people, police said. Police Col. Panya Karawanun said Muslim separatist insurgents are suspected of detonating a homemade bomb at a beach in Pattani province s Saiburi district. He said the wounded include seven policemen who were providing security at the event. More than 5,000 people have been killed since an Islamist insurgency flared in 2004 in Thailand s three southernmost provinces, which are predominantly Muslim. Thailand has a Buddhist majority, and southern Muslims have long complained of being treated as second-class citizens. A large-scale effort by the army to curb the insurgents, who typically carry out ambushes and drive-by shootings, has met with limited success. While the insurgents target mainly security forces, they also attack teachers, who are perceived as representatives of the government. Muslims are among the victims, killed by insurgents as well as Buddhist vigilantes. Recent fatalities have included a 2-year-old girl and a 6-year-old boy, the son of a suspected insurgent. Continued from page 2 Cellphone mistaken for a gun on Ga. college campus KENNESAW, Ga. (AP) Police say a lockdown at Kennesaw State University in Georgia has been lifted after reports of a weapon in a man s pocket turned out to be a cellphone. The university s police department received a call about a suspicious man with a possible weapon around 2 p.m. on Friday. The campus was put on lockdown while police searched for him. When they located him around 3:30 p.m., police found the cellphone. University spokeswoman Tammy DeMel says university and police officials took the initial call seriously and responded to keep the campus safe. Located in the fast-growing suburbs north of Atlanta, Kennesaw State is the third-largest public university in the state and has more than 21,000 traditional and non-traditional students. N.C. teen accused of poisoning grandmother s collard greens FAYETTEVILLE, N.C. (AP) Authorities say a North Carolina teenager tried to kill her grandmother by dumping insecticide and termite killer into a pot of collard greens. Cumberland County District Attorney Billy West said Friday that 17-year-old Tyt ana Lisa- Nicole Johnson of Fayetteville was charged with two counts of attempted first-degree murder. A friend of the grandmother s also ate the greens. Both were treated at a hospital and released. The Fayetteville Observer quoted the grandmother, 51-year-old Gaylon Moody, as saying the teenager was angry because her cellphone was taken away. The paper reported that Johnson poisoned the greens while her grandmother was attending Easter services. Johnson is being held in the county jail on $500,000 bail. Jail records didn t indicate whether she had an attorney. Under North Carolina criminal law, anyone 16 years and older is considered an adult. New Jersey tot wipes out hours of monks work JERSEY CITY, N.J. (AP) A New Jersey tot has made his inadvertent mark on an intricate sand display created by Buddhist monks. The monks have been building a sand mandala in Jersey City s municipal building since Monday. It s a flat, multicolored display that is created and then destroyed in a ceremony meant to symbolize the fleeting nature of life. The Jersey Journa reports the young boy climbed over a rope barrier Friday and got onto the 4-foot-square display. The sides and middle were smudged as a result. Some of the monks spent a few hours repairing the sand in time for its ritual destruction Friday afternoon. They led a group to the Hudson River and threw the sand into the water.

A delegation from the government is expected back in the territory early next week, after they conduct a site visit of the shipyard in Washington state, where the vessel to sail between the Manu a island group, is being built. Among the members of the delegation are Manu a District Governor Misaalefua Hudson, Port Administration engineer Chris Soti and Capt. Wallace Thompson (along with his chief engineer). Port Administration contracts Thompson, a certified U.S. captain, for various boating issues. The 39-foot catamaran vessel s $802,944 contract was awarded this year to Armstrong Marine Inc., of Port Angeles, in Washington State. As previously reported by Samoa News, provisions of the contract call for the contractor to pay travel expenses for local officials to make at least three trips to Seattle to check on the progress of construction. Soti told Samoa News early last month that the passenger/ cargo vessel, a project funded through the U.S. Department of Transportation s Federal Transit Administration, is expected to arrive here before June 30 this year. The Lolo Administration hopes to have this boat in service by July 17, which is the Manu a Flag Day. NEW ASG SURVEY BOARD APPOINTED Lt. Gov. Lemanu Peleti Mauga, who is also the acting governor, has appointed five new members of the ASG Survey Board, whose responsibility involves the surveying of government property to come up with their value. The board, which is required under the American Samoa Administrative Code, also conducts surveys of ASG property before being sold at auction. Board members are: Territorial Energy Office deputy director Taliga Vaiolo; Fa auuga Mailo, a certified mechanic from the private sector; Territorial Correctional Facility Warden Vaipuna Fo ifua Fo ifua; Jesse Yandall, a certified mechanic with the Department of Public Works; and Assistant Attorney General Seiuli Alvin Tuala. In his memo, Lemanu says each appointed member shall serve an indefinite term until such time his or her successor is duly qualified and appointed by the governor. Lemanu asked all ASG agencies to provide support and where appropriate, assist the Survey Board in carrying out its investigations, duties and responsibilities in the management of property owned by the government. NEW GRANT FUNDING FOR AM.SAMOA American Samoa along with all states and territories is eligible to apply for the State Trade and Export Promotion (STEP) from the U.S. Small Business Administration. Application period opened Apr. 21 and closes May 20 and the grant will be awarded on a competitive basis. The STEP initiative s objectives are to increase the number of small businesses that begin to export and increase the value of exports for small businesses that currently export, according to SBA. Maria Contreras-Sweet, Administrator of the SBA says exporting provides tremendous opportunities for America s small businesses that are looking to expand and grow. SBA says a state/territory may not submit more than one application for a STEP grant and should support the following export related activities: participation in foreign trade missions, foreign market sales trips, subscription services provided by the U.S. Department of Commerce, design of international marketing campaigns, export trade show exhibits, training workshops or other export initiatives that are in line with the objectives of the pilot program. American Samoa Visitors Bureau is the current local recipient for the STEP grant totaling $246,671 that will strengthen the capacity of local tourism industry members with training to equip them with partnering skills in international travel trade, and to support American Samoa s international travel partners to develop and promote consumer holiday packages from New Zealand, Australia and Samoa. These partnering initiatives will endeavor to develop holiday packages and promote the destination in an effort to generate new tourist visitors, according to SBA brief description of the local project, which is already implemented by the Visitors Bureau.

(AP) An SUV driven by an elderly motorist plowed into a group of people waiting to enter an Orange County ice cream parlor Friday evening, killing a 73-year-old woman and injuring six others, authorities said. The SUV rammed into people outside Farrell s Ice Cream Parlour shortly after 6 p.m., Orange County Fire Authority Capt. Steve Concialdi said. The restaurant in is Buena Park, about 20 miles southeast of downtown Los Angeles. Witnesses said the SUV surged forward, hitting a small fence and running into those sitting and standing between the vehicle and the restaurant. It looked like the guy put his foot on the gas pedal instead of the brake, Daniel Long, who was eating with his family inside, told KCAL-TV. There were three people sitting on that bench he just went straight into them and crushed them up against the window. Television news reports showed a silver Suzuki XL7 halfway in a parking space in front of the building, with its front end shoved over the fence onto a walkway. A woman, 73, was critically injured and died at a hospital, authorities said. Two other people were hospitalized with moderate injuries, three with minor injuries and a sixth person was treated at the scene for minor injuries, Concialdi said. One of the injured was a teenage girl, police Cpl. Andy Luong said. The SUV driver and a female passenger, both elderly, were not hurt, Luong said. Police questioned the driver, who cooperated and was not immediately cited, Luong said.

Guam police face internal affairs backlog HAGATNA, Guam (AP) Internal affairs cases are pending against 70 Guam officers accused of breaking local laws over the past three years, but the police chief won t be able to fire, suspend or demote them when the cases are closed, a newspaper reported Friday. Guam law forbids government agencies from taking any adverse action against an employee more than 60 days after management knew or should have known about the alleged infractions, the Pacific Daily News reported. The 60-day clock starts the day a complaint is filed or a person with a complaint notifies a high-ranking officer. If they pass the 60 days, it ain t gonna come to me for adverse action, Chief of Police Fred Bordallo said. The police colonel may issue letters of warning or reprimands if allegations are corroborated, he said. The pending cases involve accusations of theft, terrorizing and harassment. Bordallo said the department s small internal affairs division isn t always able to complete investigations by the deadline, creating a backlog. They re just overswamped with another case, then another case, then another case, he said. The Guam Legislature created an independent commission to look into complaints against police officers, but the effort has foundered without financial resources, office space, policies or procedures. The commission was recently given a meager budget and found office space, but it still lacked the policies it needs to review complaints. At its most recent meeting, the commission resolved to recess indefinitely until the Guam Legislature revisits the law.

(AP) Three people and a dog were rescued Friday from a life raft in the Atlantic Ocean about 900 miles northeast of Bermuda after their sailboat sank in a storm, according to the U.S. Coast Guard. The 49-foot-sailboat Blue Pearl sank Thursday evening after being badly battered from two days of storms, according to an audio recording with the sailboat s captain posted by the Coast Guard. We were preparing to die, said 55-year-old Leonard Rorke, a United Kingdom citizen who is the sailboat s owner. Also rescued were 29-year-old Henri Worthalter of Belgium, 50-year-old Lisa Rorke of the United Kingdom and Dexter, a Jack Russell Terrier. Coast Guard officials were notified Thursday by the International Rescue Center after a message came in saying people were in a life raft and needed help. Coast Guard watch standers in Portsmouth, Va., issued a call for help about 6:30 p.m. to any commercial ships in the vicinity of the life raft. Three ships answered the call and diverted their course to aid in the search. The sailboat s crew had an electronic position-indicating radio beacon in the life raft that allowed the Coast Guard to direct ships toward their location. Rorke said there was poor visibility, 25-foot waves and winds reaching about 40 miles per hour. He also said the life raft had to be patched up and that they were holding on for dear life. Rorke said the sailboat sank after the bulkhead broke up and the vessel began taking on water. We had lost everything, he said. The ordeal ended about 12:30 a.m. after the Tilda Kosan diverted course from its planned trip to Mexico. The ship found the life raft after making three passes in dark, stormy conditions. It was about 36 miles away from the life raft when it first joined the search. Rorke had high praise for the Coast Guard, which coordinated the rescue. They were fantastic, absolutely fantastic. They didn t play around. They were super quick, he said. Time was of the essence. The radio beacon only lasts for about 48 hours. The Tilda Kosan plans to take the sailboat s crew and its dog to Bermuda.

(AP Photo/The New Haven Register, Peter Casolino) NEWS IN BRIEF Los Angeles police shoot man armed with a sword LOS ANGELES (AP) Police shot and wounded a man who charged at them with a sword in South Los Angeles. The Los Angeles Times reports that officers were called about an assault with a deadly weapon around 4:30 p.m. Thursday in the 6600 block of South Main Street. Police say a Taser did not stop the man, who was carrying a 24-inch sword. At least one officer fired shots. The man was taken to a hospital. No officers were injured. Sheriff: Coast tightrope walker swept into ocean PACIFIC CITY, Ore. (AP) Authorities say a Portland man trying to walk across a homemade tightrope between two large rock sections on the north Oregon coast is missing after a large wave hit him and swept him into the ocean. Tillamook County Sheriff Andy Long said Friday that 25-year-old James Michael Alejandro was climbing on a rocky area of Cape Kiwanda with several others Thursday afternoon when he connected a single rope between two large rock sections above the water and tried to walk it. Witnesses say he was briefly seen in the ocean but they lost sight of him. A Coast Guard boat and helicopters searched by water and air but didn t find Alejandro. Long cautions that coastal ocean currents are strong and large waves are common in the area. Hobbit finale renamed Battle of the Five Armies WELLINGTON, New Zealand (AP) Peter Jackson is tweaking the ending of Bilbo Baggins journey. The Oscar-winning director says the original title of The Hobbit finale, There and Back Again, felt misplaced since Baggins arrived at his destination in the second film. He says that title better suited a movie that wrapped up a two-part story instead of a trilogy. So the final film based on the J.R.R. Tolkien fantasy adventure has being renamed The Hobbit: The Battle of the Five Armies. Jackson wrote about the decision on Facebook, saying that making the films was sometimes like the hobbit s journey itself, with hidden paths revealing their secrets to us as we ve gone along. He thought about revising the title when the second film opened last year, but said he and the studio, Warner Bros., kept an open mind until a cut of the film was ready. They watched it last week before agreeing on the new title. The film stars Martin Freeman as Bilbo Baggins and Benedict Cumberbatch as Smaug the dragon. Expected to be a box-office success like its predecessors, The Battle of the Five Armies will premiere in December. Continued from page 4 South African police arrest suspect for cannibalism JOHANNESBURG (AP) Police in South Africa say they have arrested a fugitive from neighboring Lesotho who had escaped from a prison where he was awaiting trial after allegedly confessing to cannibalism and two murders in Police said Friday that the 27-year-old suspect, Makhele Lehlohonolo Joseph Scott, was living on a church s premises in Amaoti, a small community in South Africa s KwaZulu- Natal province, and played in the church band. He was arrested there on April 7. Police say Scott was first arrested in Lesotho after two people, including a 13-year-old boy, went missing. They say Scott pointed out a shallow grave where a torso and thigh were found, and also led police to a primary school where a head and other body parts were found in a toilet pit. Officer interviewed 2 DAYS after shooting ALBUQUERQUE, N.M. (AP) An Albuquerque police official says investigators waited more than 48 hours before they interviewed the officer involved in the troubled department s latest shooting. Deputy Chief Robert Huntsman tells KOB-TV there were several reasons for the delay in interviewing the officer who killed 19-year-old Mary Hawkes on Monday. Huntsman says the case investigator had to testify in a murder trial the next day, there was a homicide on Tuesday, and the department likes to give officers time to de-stress after a shooting. Professor Maria Haberfeld of the John J. College of Criminal Justice in New York says it used to be standard practice to interview officers immediately after a shooting, but more departments are now waiting to give officers time to recover. Drunken passenger causes hijacking scare in Bali BALI, Indonesia (AP) A drunken passenger who caused a hijack scare on a Virgin Australia flight by trying to break into the cockpit was arrested Friday after the plane landed on Indonesia s resort island of Bali, officials said. The airport was closed for nearly two hours because of the incident, forcing several flights to be diverted, air force base commander Col. Sugiharto Prapto said. The Australian passenger acted aggressively and began pounding on the cockpit door before being handcuffed by the crew, police said. He was arrested for creating a disturbance and investigators said they were waiting for him to sober up before questioning him. Bali police chief Maj. Gen. Benny Mokalu told reporters that after the man began beating on the locked cockpit door, the pilot issued an alert code to air traffic control. The crew then (Continued on page 13) HARTFORD, Conn. (AP) A 16-year-old girl was stabbed to death inside a Connecticut high school Friday, and police were investigating whether a boy attacked her after she turned down an invitation to be his prom date. Maren Sanchez was stabbed in a hallway of Jonathan Law High School in Milford, about an hour s drive from New York City, around 7:15 a.m. Staff members and paramedics performed life-saving measures on the girl, but she was pronounced dead at a hospital, police said. The 16-year-old boy was charged with murder as a juvenile offender. Police said the suspect, whose name was not released, was being held Friday afternoon in police custody at a medical facility and could be charged later as an adult. Imani Langston, who describes herself as one of Sanchez s best friends, said students were gathered in an auditorium when a teacher came and told them Sanchez had been stabbed. She basically just explained to us that Maren Sanchez got stabbed in the throat for saying no about going to prom with the suspect, she said. Langston said she saw the suspect taken out of the school in handcuffs. She said Sanchez and the boy were friends but had never dated. She said Sanchez had helped to organize the junior prom and was looking forward to attending with her boyfriend. The dance was scheduled for Friday night but was postponed because of the stabbing. In class on Thursday, Sanchez told me about her prom dress, she told me how she got asked to prom, Langston said. We were just laughing, talking about what we were going to do when we got there, how many pictures we were going to take. Sanchez, a junior, was in the National Honor Society and engaged in school activities, schools Superintendent Elizabeth Feser said. Students were released from school early, and officials were offering counseling services. We are obviously devastated by the loss of one of our students, Maren Sanchez, Feser said at a news conference. She was a 16-year-old junior vibrant, very, very involved in Jonathan Law High School, an incredible contributor, someone who was loved and respected. A cousin of Sanchez, Edward Kovac, said the family is shocked and devastated. He described her as a bright light full of hopes and dreams as he read from a family statement and said more needs to be done to ensure young people are protected from attacks at school. Students described an emotional, somewhat chaotic scene as police and paramedics swarmed the school. Sarah Golden, a 14-year-old freshman, said she was sitting in the main lobby with friends when she was startled by several security guards running down the hall. Then she heard a voice on a walkie-talkie say that someone had been strangled. I was trying not to freak out because it was really scary, Sarah said. I just don t believe that something like that happened at my school. It s something that seems so unreal. Golden s 17-year-old sister, Rebecca, a senior at the school, said she saw the victim lying on the floor surrounded by teachers, some of whom were crying. She said she didn t know what was going on at the time, and teachers directed her away from the victim. Police Chief Keith Mello said investigators were looking into the reports involving the prom rejection.

Alleged Hillary Clinton shoe thrower arraigned LAS VEGAS (AP) A Phoenix woman accused of throwing a shoe at Hillary Rodham Clinton during a speech in Las Vegas remains in federal custody after pleading not guilty to two criminal charges. Alison Ernst, 36, entered the pleas to misdemeanor counts of trespassing and violence against a person during her arraignment late Wednesday in U.S. District Court in Las Vegas. U.S. Magistrate Judge Cam Ferenbach then granted the government s request to keep Ernst in federal custody, saying she was a flight risk and danger to the community. She is being held at a jail operated by a federal contractor in Pahrump, 63 miles west of Las Vegas. Ferenbach raised concerns about Ernst s residency status and mental health condition, Natalie Collins, a spokeswoman for the U.S. Attorney s office in Nevada, told The Associated Press. The judge appointed a federal public defender to represent her and set a June 25 trial date before U.S. Magistrate Peggy Leen. Ernst s public defender, William Carrico, did not immediately respond to requests for comment Friday. Plane returns after bird collision SEATTLE (AP) An Alaska Airlines plane safely returned to Seattle-Tacoma International Airport after a bird collision damaged the plane. Airport spokesman Perry Cooper says there were no injuries to the 65 passengers or four crew members. Flight 2460 took off toward Bozeman, Montana, around 1:45 p.m. PDT Friday. After the collision, the pilot turned the plane around and landed in Seattle without incident around 2:08 p.m. PDT. The bird was still attached to the nose of the aircraft. Cooper says bird collisions rarely cause damage to aircraft. Alaska Airlines spokesman Paul McElroy says the bird went through the skin of the nose of the Bombardier Q400 operated by airline subsidiary Horizon Air. McElroy says the passengers were scheduled to take off for Bozeman in another plane later Friday. Ex-Brazilian president absolved in corruption case RIO DE JANEIRO (AP) Brazil s Supreme Court has absolved former President Fernando Collor de Mello in a corruption case that was among scandals that led to his impeachment more than 20 years ago. In a decision posted on its website Friday, the court cited a lack of evidence for the allegation that Collor de Mello, now a senator, was part of a scheme to embezzle public funds using an advertising agency during his presidency. The Supreme Court deemed it inadmissible to carry on the penal action against the former president and current senator... for his alleged involvement in crimes including ideological falsity, passive corruption and embezzlement, the decision said. Deputy Attorney General Ela Wiecko had defended the case against Collor de Mello, saying the then-president was fully aware of the criminal acts being committed by people close to him. In the decision, Justice Carmen Lucia rejected that argument, finding the attorney general s office lacked enough evidence to confirm that Collor de Mello knew about fraudulent contracts with the advertising agency. Slain sailor buried as hero at Arlington ARLINGTON, Va. (AP) A sailor from western Maryland who was shot and killed protecting another sailor aboard a Navy destroyer has been laid to rest at Arlington National Cemetery. Petty Officer 2nd Class Mark Mayo of Hagerstown was buried Friday. The 24-year-old sailor was posthumously awarded the Navy Marine Corps Medal. That s the highest noncombatant decoration for heroism by a sailor or Marine. The vice chief of naval operations, Admiral Mark Ferguson, presented the award to Mayo s family before the burial. The citation says Mayor acted with total disregard for his own safety when he dove between another sailor and a civilian truck driver who authorities say had seized her gun aboard the USS Mahan at Naval Station Norfolk, Va., on March 24. The Navy says Mayo s actions saved the lives of four others.

(AP Photo/Sebastiano Casellati) NEWS IN BRIEF Official: MilitARY observers detained in the Ukraine SLOVYANSK, Ukraine (AP) Pro- Russian forces detained a team of military observers traveling across eastern Ukraine with the Organization for Security and Cooperation in Europe on Friday, according to a representative of the separatists. The team was being held in the eastern city of Slovyansk, said Stella Khorosheva, a spokeswoman for the town s self-proclaimed separatist mayor. She said the group possessed suspicious materials, but said they were unharmed and would be released after further investigation. The OSCE wrote on Twitter that they had lost communication with the German-led team, but that all members of the OSCE monitoring team were safe. Germany s Defense Ministry said it had lost contact with the team, which it said was made up of 13 people five Ukrainians, three German soldiers, a German translator and one soldier each from the Czech Republic, Poland, Sweden and Denmark. Contact broke off around lunchtime and, as of Friday evening, we are still not in contact, a German Defense Ministry spokesman said on condition of anonymity in line with department rules. However, he said the ministry couldn t confirm reports from Ukraine that they were being held by separatists. DC man gets 28 years for killing taxi cab driver WASHINGTON (AP) A Washington man has been sentenced to 28 years in prison for killing a taxi driver in Ercell Overton was sentenced Friday in the death of driver Solomon Okoroh of Glenarden, Md. The 33-year-old Overton had previously pleaded guilty to second-degree murder in the case. A plea agreement called for him to spend 25 to 28 years in prison. Prosecutors say police officers were on patrol in Washington s Adams Morgan neighborhood on June 4, 2013, when they heard a gunshot and saw a taxi pass them. As it passed, police officers heard the sound of a second shot. The taxi then hit a parked car. Police say Overton fired at officers before he was captured. Continued from page 13 Across globe, many ANZAC tributes for fallen soldiers BRUSSELS (AP) At 74, Harry Quick traveled to the other side of the world from his home in Tasmania to honor the soldiers from Australia and New Zealand that fell during World War I. His tribute at the Menin Gate shrine in Flanders Fields was just one of many around the world on ANZAC Day, when the two countries unite in memory of all soldiers that died in warfare over the past century. From drenched Sydney, to Hong Kong and London, tens of thousands paid respect on Friday, a year ahead of the centenary of the emblematic campaign in Gallipoli in Turkey. Hundreds of families gathered for similar ceremonies in Belgium, Britain and France, where many of their ancestors from the Australian and New Zealand Army Corps fell during fierce battles along the Western front. Kaylene Biggs from Brisbane had only come to see the white headstone of her great grandfather Andrew Bayne in Heuvelland for the first time on the eve of ANZAC Day. As with so many, it still touched a deep chord within her, highlighting the importance of the day for Australians and New Zealanders. Thousands traveled to Turkey for Friday s solemn ceremony on the Gallipoli peninsula where the ANZAC forces landed in 1915 for an unsuccessful and bloody eight-month campaign which ended in a stalemate and massive casualties. Flash floods in northern Afghanistan kill 75 people KABUL, Afghanistan (AP) Flash floods after heavy rains in northern Afghanistan killed at least 75 people and damaged thousands of homes, leaving authorities scrambling to help survivors in the remote region, officials said. The rains began late Thursday and continued into Friday in four provinces. The worst affected appeared to be Jawzjan, where at least 36 people were killed, according to police spokesman Abdul Manan Raoufi. Other officials put the death toll there at 43. Azizul Rahman Aymaq, who heads the disaster relief committee in Jawzjan, said more than 5,000 people have been displaced, and medicine and drinking water are running short. Afghan army helicopters are helping rescuers reach the affected areas, he said. More Medicaid benefits Continued from page 1 of the Medicare coverage, the media release says. Further, the Medicaid Office is working with CMS to define and clarify procedures on how to make the premium payments given our presumptive eligibility model. OFF ISLAND REFERRAL Medicaid can help pay for this benefit in order to send patients deemed to have medically necessary services that cannot be provided for on-island, but ASG must meet the match requirement for this program at 45%. The 2% wage tax that LBJ hospital receives is allocated to the off-island referral program and can be used as a match unless the government provides an alternative source for the match, the news release says. Obviously, the off-island referral program is not the end objective on how to provide medical care for our people, it says, adding that the key objective in providing better care for our people and controlling costs is to invest in the development of a high quality local primary care system. However, until we get to a place that ensures we have built that system, currently, the off-island referral program has to be a part of our current medical care system. The Medicaid office is still in the process of negotiating Medicaid reimbursement rates with one Hawaii hospital, and possibly considering another provider hospital, the statement points out. NEW MEDICAID PROVIDERS It also says that the future of our sustainable medical care system is the investment in the primary care model focused on prevention and maintenance of medical conditions before they become critical care needs. A key component to this that can be implemented immediately is the investment in upgrading local FQHCs (federally qualified health centers) and community health centers under Health Department, and encouraging the entrepreneurship of private clinicians and other private health care services - long term care, dental, vision, rehabilitation, etc., it says. Most important is the investment in the human resources with credentials and licenses to help deliver quality medical care to our people, the release says. Opening up the Medicaid program to new Medicaid providers will create a competitive environment to drive improvement in quality services and provides more options for patients. According to the Medicaid Office it is currently working with CMS to define enrollment procedures and reimbursement methods for new providers. U.S. Department of Health and Human Services says FQHCs include all organizations receiving grants under Section 330 of the Public Health Service Act (PHS). FQHCs qualify for enhanced reimbursement from Medicare and Medicaid, as well as other benefits. Additionally, FQHCs must serve an underserved area or population, offer a sliding fee scale, provide comprehensive services, have an ongoing quality assurance program, and have a governing board of directors.
