Man in Rock N Rodeo shooting sentencedBy Dorothy ChomiczDCHOMICZ

@NEWSMINER.COM

One of four men con-

nected with the 2015 s h o o t i n g d e a t h o f 23-year-old John D. Kavairlook Jr. was sen-tenced Tuesday to five years in prison.

Kavairlook was shot in the early morning hours of May 17, 2015, after a bar fight inside the Rock N Rodeo spilled out into the nearby Walgreens parking lot. Kavairlook confronted Patrick Dale Burton-Hill, Demari-us Hinson, Joel Roland Joseph and Kelvin Bur-ton after one of the men punched Kavairlook’s wife, Shaylene, in the stomach.

Kavair look , armed w i t h t w o h a n d f u l s o f s m a l l r o c k s , r a n toward the men as they stood at the end of the parking lot by Hin-son’s SUV. Burton-Hill grabbed Hinson’s Glock 9mm pistol from the SUV and fired 12 rounds a t K av a i r l o o k . O n e of the bullets entered the back right side of Kavairlook’s head and exited at the top of his left ear. He died at the scene.

Walgreen’s survei l-lance footage of the incident shows the four men, who had trav-e l e d t o g e t h e r f r o m A n c h o r a g e t o Fa i r -banks for a weekend of bar hopping, taunting Kavairlook before he runs at them. The foot-age also shows Kavair-look turn and try to run away from the men before being shot.

Finance committee faces firefighters’ contractBy Robin WoodRWOOD

@NEWSMINER.COM

As the Fairbanks City Council nears a decision on a three-year contract with the Fairbanks Fire-fighters Union, the city’s finance committee gath-ered Tuesday morning to probe the agreement’s details.

At Tuesday’s meeting, an updated fiscal note was distributed, at least the third one presented for the contract.

Council members Jer-ry Cleworth and David Pruhs continued to

express their displea-sure at how contract negotiations were han-dled, saying that Tues-day’s discussions should have been in executive session, not an open meeting. Those dis-cussions occasionally prompted the city attor-ney to interrupt, telling committee members they weren’t allowed to share certain informa-tion.

The finance commit-tee comprises the city council , Mayor Jim Matherly, Chief of Staff Mike Meeks , Chie f Financial Officer Car-

men Randle and two nonvoting public mem-bers — James Soileau and Ron Woolf, both former CFOs at the city.

A final decision on the contract was postponed at the last City Coun-cil meeting and is now scheduled for action at its meeting Monday night.

Because a tentative agreement has already been reached on the contract, the core ele-ments are unchanged: An increase of 1.5 per-cent to health care and wages, increasing mini-mum staffing from nine

to 11 (likely resulting in increased overtime), switching a shift captain to a driver and reinstat-ing employee retention leave.

O n e a l t e r a t i o n announced on Tuesday relates to how the city would pay for increased overtime resulting from increased staffing. The plan has been to use Ground Emergenc y Medical Transportation funding, but a change in the timeline for distri-bution means that funds would not be available for 2018, the contract’s first year. The increased

overtime would add about $114,000 for year one, in addition to the $458,000 already bud-geted for overtime.

Because of unknowns, years 2019 and 2020 offer no de ta i l s in regards to overtime expenditures. Instead, a section on the fiscal note under years 2019-20 reads “program stops until GEMT recovery is available.”

“We’re not just giving money away, we’re doing something to meet a mission,” Meeks said.

Cannabis event likely faces fine for public consumption By Amanda BohmanABOHMAN@NEWSMINER.COM

Organizers of the cannabis festival Alaska Hempfest will likely face a fine at the August meeting of the Alaska Marijua-na Control Board, to be held in Fairbanks, on suspicion of allowing public consumption, according to the state’s chief cannabis regulator.

An estimated 1,500 people attended the three-day event in Wasilla on June 22-24. Rep-resentatives from the Alaska

Alcohol and Marijuana Control Office were also reportedly pres-ent, taking photographs.

Nordica Friedrich, commu-nication and music director for Alaska Hempfest, said she was notified by email that there was an investigation and that AMCO would seek a penalty. Fried-rich hosts the free event, in its third year, with her mother, Niki Raapana, of Fairbanks. Fried-rich said Alaska Hempfest was held on private property and an enclosed tent was offered to attendees older than 21 who

wished to consume marijuana.The festival offered live music,

vendors, speakers and products with CBD, a cannabis com-pound with medical benefits, and hemp. It was open to the public.

Friedrich compared the space offered for pot consumption to a beer garden, which is an area where adults are allowed to con-sume alcohol at fairs, sporting matches and other public gath-erings.

Dunleavy camp revamps ad after woman objects to inclusionASSOCIATED PRESS

JUNEAU — Republican gubernatorial candidate Mike Dunleavy’s cam-paign has removed from an advertisement footage of a Fairbanks woman who objected to being included in it.

Marjorie Tahbone said the ad took advantage of her Inupiaq ethnicity.

The original version of the ad included sev-eral seconds of Tahbone walking in the woods and dancing as part of a group, Alaska Public Media reported.

Trump says he misspoke on Russia meddling

WASHINGTON — Blis-tered by bipartisan condemnation of his embrace of a longtime U.S. enemy, President D o n a l d Tr u m p o n Tuesday backed away from his public under-

mining of American intelligence agencies, saying he simply mis-spoke when he said he saw no reason to believe Russia had interfered in the 2016 U.S. election.

Rebuked as never before by his own par-ty, including a stern pushback from usu-

ally reserved Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell, the U.S. president sought to end 27 hours of recrimina-tion by delivering a rare admission of error.

“The sentence should have been, ‘I don’ t see any reason why I wouldn’ t , or why it wouldn’t be Rus-

sia’” instead of “why it would,” Trump said of the comments he had made standing along-side Vladimir Putin on Monday’s summit stage in Helsinki.

That didn’t explain why Trump, who had tweeted a half-dozen

Fire Chief Jim Styers detailed another possibil-ity: Hiring four additional employees through a differ-ent grant, the Staffing for Adequate Fire and Emer-gency Response program. This approach is contingent on whether or not Fairbanks

is awarded the federal grant, of which results should be announced imminently.

Styers said the ultimate goal is to increase staffing to 14, which would allow for two ambulances staffed by dedi-cated EMTs instead of being reliant on firefighters.

A significant share of Tues-day’s discussions revolved around staffing, particularly overtime and employee reten-tion leave, informally called bonus leave. Bonus leave would give union members an additional four hours of leave time for every year they’ve been at the department. The leave could not be cashed out and would be forfeit if not used each year.

Both Woolf and Soileau commented on the city’s pre-vious battles with bonus leave.

“Every bargaining unit was paid off to get bonus leave out of the contracts. … Intuitive-ly, I can not see how added bonus in is not going to have a huge cost,” Woolf said.

To e n d t h e p r a c t i c e , Fairbanks spent almost $300,000 between 2004-2007 and bought out remain-ing employee bonus leave, often at a rate higher than the leave’s actual value, according to Soileau.

Soileau said his problem is that bonus leave isn’t shown as an expense in the contract, “You can’t say this isn’t an expense, it is. I can’t ratio-nalize giving more time off at the same time you need more people.”

Increasing overtime is an attempt to provide for more people as the department is seeing both a spike in calls and a reduction in mutual aid from other area departments.

In 2016, the Fairbanks Fire Department received approximately 3,800 calls for assistance, then 4,400 calls in 2017, and 2018 could hit 5,000 calls. Styers estimates that 75 percent of calls are for ambulances, of which 35 percent do not live within the city.

In response to increased calls and a decrease in aid, the fire department has been stacking calls of lower impor-tance until staff become avail-able. But according to Styers, responding to a broken leg or mild stroke could be put on hold.

“We do have some calls that are being stacked that are serious in nature,” he said.

Addressing increasing calls and staffing levels, Meeks asked, “If you say no to hiring new people, and you say no to overtime, then what’s your plan?”

Cleworth said he need-ed more information before determining if additional staff is the solution.

“Just because we have an increased call volume, doesn’t mean we automatically need more men. To me, we haven’t done our homework on why,” he said. Contact staff writer Robin Wood at

Today’s Lucky Number

Ayako Abe CorrickAyako Abe Corrick passed

away May 31, 2018, in Fair-banks Memorial Hospital, per her oft stated wishes, with her family present and after a brief hospital stay that con-cluded a long, healthy and full life. She departed as she lived, independent and determined to live life on her own terms until the end. Her strength of character and will was only exceeded by her love and devotion to family. She bright-ened the lives of her many friends in Japan and America with grace, humor, common sense and acceptance. She is irreplaceable and will be sore-ly missed by all of us.

Ayako was born on Dec. 4, 1928, in Kobe, Japan, to Ken-saku and Hatsuyo Abe. The youngest of five, she nonethe-less had the alpha personality of an oldest, to the alternating amusement and alarm of her family, schools and social class. Though ahead of her time for a “proper lady” of her culture, this resolution and independence would serve her well in the adversi-ties and adventures to come. After losing everything in World War II, including her

only sister. She made her great-est gain when Lee M. Corrick arrived with the occupation forces. Despite the disapprov-al of family, friends, society and two gov-ernments they were finally allowed to legally wed on Jan. 18, 1956. Six months later, they moved to Alaska, which became their home for the rest of their lives.

Ayako made a full life for herself in Fairbanks with her friends and family. She became a master gardener who won many prizes at the state fair and was at the heart of the Forget-Me-Not Garden Club for years, along with good friends and neighbors Betty Ernest and Joan Rock-ney. She was also at the core of the local Japanese commu-nity where she forged lifelong friendships with Corky Reich-mann, Keiko O’Brien and too many others to count. She regularly hosted adventurous young Japanese travelers who were in the same mold as her, and was a “go to” inter-preter for the hospital and other community agencies,

helping Japanese tourists who spoke little English. In that role, as well as on behalf of her family and neighborhood, she could be a sometimes fierce advocate with author-ities and others for what she thought “her people” needed. Yet, the overall impression she always left behind her was as a charming, gracious and giving lady.

Ayako was preceded in death by her husband, Lee Corrick; daughter, Lisa Hancock; her parents; and all of her siblings in Japan. She also outlived too many in-laws, friends and extended family near and dear to her to list here, but everyone of them she held in her heart until the end. She is survived by her children, Alan, Cheryl and Gary, of Fairbanks, and Ted Hancock, of Yakima, Washington; her grandchil-dren, Ryan (Katie), Devon (Cheryl), Donovan, Chris-tine, Ellie (Bryce), Arieanna, Mason, Sakari and Jaiden; her great-grandchildren, Tay-lor, Elena, Logan, Benjamin, Charlotte and Brielle; her very special cousins, Yoshi-ko Kohno and Hiroyoshi Tsumoto and their families; beloved brother-in-law Mike

(Rose); her niece, Connie Corrick (Hugh) who cared for her and her husband Lee when they most needed it; lifelong friends, Betty Ernest and Ralph Reichmann; Fuku-ko-san, Yumi-san and oth-er members of her Japanese circle; and dozens of nieces and nephews with other extended family who were all loved and cherished. Ayako also wanted to express her appreciation to Bert and Betsy Sharp and to Mike and Cherie Kelly for their friendship and support as couples with and for her and her husband Lee.

It was also Ayako’s wish to have a small family obser-vance of her passing without a formal service and in keep-ing with the traditions of her Japanese culture. Therefore, a ceremonial interment next to her husband Lee will take place on Wednesday, July 18, 2018, followed by the ceremo-nial family dinner observed on the 49th day after death.

SHOOTINGContinued from A1

B u r t o n - H i l l , H i n s o n , Joseph and Burton fled the scene after the shooting and drove back to Anchorage. Burton-Hill fled to California and then to Ohio. Joseph fled to Texas, and Hinson fled to Florida.

All four men were arrested after a nearly yearlong man-hunt.

Burton-Hill, 24, of San Pab-lo, California, was identified as the shooter and charged with one count of first-degree and two counts of second-degree murder. Burton claimed he acted in self-defense and was acquitted of all charges by a Fairbanks jury Feb. 22 of this year.

Joseph was or ig inal ly charged with first- and sec-ond-degree murder but plead-ed guilty to criminally neg-ligent homicide in exchange for his “truthful testimony” in Burton-Hill’s trial.

Joseph’s sentencing hear-ing began Monday with argu-ments by Assistant District Attorney David Buettner and Joseph’s attorney Steven Wells of Anchorage.

Buettner asked Superior Court Judge Paul Lyle to sen-tence Joseph to nine years with five suspended, leaving four years of active jail time.

“Mr. Joseph needs to be held accountable for the bad deci-sions and the thinking errors he made that night,” Buettner

said.W e l l s a r g u e d

Joseph’s actions as an accomplice to

the homicide were mitigated because Kavairlook was run-ning at the men and had rocks in his hand when he was shot.

“I’ll blame the victim when the victim deserves blaming. When the victim doesn’t, then I won’t,” Wells said, in response to Buettner criticizing him for blaming the victim. “Mr. Kavairlook does bear respon-sibility.”

At Tuesday’s hearing, Lyle said that Joseph did not shoot Kavairlook but played a “pivot-al role” in his death because he “invited Kavairlook to a fight where he knew at least one gun was present.”

“The Walgreens parking lot is not the OK Corral. We don’t settle petty alcoholic disputes with gunfire,” Lyle said.

Lyle characterized Kavair-look’s death as a “senseless loss of life over an argument based on pride and a misplaced need to show someone who is boss.”

Lyle sentenced Joseph to seven years with two suspend-ed, leaving five to serve. Joseph will spend four years on proba-tion after his release.

Joseph spent 378 days in jail and then another 365 days on electronic monitoring while awaiting trial. If Joseph behaves himself in jail he will be eligible for 608 days of “good time” on a five year sen-tence. Lyle did a rough calcu-lation and determined these time deductions leave Joseph only 474 days left to serve, giving him a release date of approximately Nov. 3, 2019.Sam Friedman contributed to this

story.

“Alaskans voted to reg-ulate cannabis like alco-hol,” Friedrich said.

E r i k a M c C o n n e l l , director of AMCO, said in an email that she has yet to determine the amount of the fine that she will seek.

She said a written report from the AMCO investigation of Alaska Hempfest will be avail-able in the days before the next board meeting, which will be held Aug. 15-17 at the University of Alaska Fairbanks.

“I will be asking the board to assess a civil fine similar to what they did about the Cannabis Clas-sic,” McConnell wrote.

In that case, the Mar-ijuana Control Board i m p o s e d t w o f i n e s totaling $20,000 with $15,000 suspended. The penalties were based on allegations of illegal sales and of public consump-tion. State law and indus-try regulations prohibit public consumption of marijuana.

The Cannabis Classic was held in Anchorage in May at a former social club and involved canna-bis judging. Judges paid a fee of $350 for a canna-bis class, samples of weed and to weigh in on differ-ent strains.

The AMCO office used photographs obtained from social media to show examples of pub-lic consumption at the event.

McConnell said in an email that the organizers of the Cannabis Classic have not yet paid their fine but an official let-ter notifying them of the board’s decision in June has not yet been provide to them.

Fr iedr ich sa id she doesn’t feel like she did anything wrong. She called on state officials to bring marijuana industry rules in line with what is allowed in the alcohol industry.

Tahbone criticized the ad in a Facebook post and said she doesn’t sup-port Dunleavy, one of the highest-profile Republi-cans seeking the GOP’s nomination for governor in next month’s primary. The campaign took the ad down Sunday, after becoming aware of her concerns. The ad has been reposted without footage of Tahbone.

Dunleavy campaign manager Brett Huber said he sent Tahbone a message saying that while the footage was legally obtained, the campaign did not want anyone included in an ad

they didn’t support.The footage was from

an AJ+ news video. AJ+ is part of the Al Jazeera Media Network. Huber said use of such footage is typical for campaign ads.

Dunleavy would not try to use an image of an Alaska Native woman to indicate support from Natives, Huber said. Dunleavy is “colorblind and he’s gender-blind,” the campaign manager said.

“Mike’s been married to an Alaska Native woman for 31 years. He would never advantage specifi-cally an Alaska Native, a Caucasian or any other race,” Huber said. “People are people, so certainly that was never our intent, nor would it be some-

thing that Mike would pursue.”

AJ+ senior producer Maggie Beidelman said the company wouldn’t have granted permission to use the video if Dun-leavy’s campaign had asked.

Video makers might use brief clips for pur-poses such as illustration, arguing they can do so under the copyright doc-trine of fair use.

Dunleavy is a former state senator from Wasil-la. His highest-profile rival on the GOP side is former Lt. Gov. Mead Treadwell.

times and sat for two television interviews since the Putin news con-ference, waited so long to correct his remarks. And the scripted cleanup per-tained only to the least defensible of his com-ments.

He didn’t reverse oth-er statements in which he gave clear credence to Putin’s “extremely strong and powerful” denial of Russian involvement, raised doubts about his own intelligence agen-cies’ conclusions and advanced discredited conspiracy theories about election meddling.

He also accused past American leaders, rather than Russia’s destabiliz-ing actions in the U.S. and around the world, for the souring of relations between two countries. And he did not address his other problemat-ic statements during a week-long Europe tour, in which he sent the NATO alliance into emergency session and assailed British Prime Minister Theresa May as she was hosting him for an official visit.

“I accept our intelli-

gence community’s con-clusion that Russia’s meddling in the 2016 election took place,” Trump conceded Tues-day. But even then he made a point of adding, “It could be other people also. A lot of people out there. There was no col-lusion at all.”

M o m e n t s e a r l i e r , McConnell felt the need to reassure America’s allies in Europe with whom Trump clashed during his frenzied trip last week.

With no if ’s or but’s, the GOP leader declared, “The European countries are our friends, and the Russians are not.”

Senate Democratic leader Chuck Schumer said Trump was trying to “squirm away” from his comments alongside Putin. “It’s 24 hours too late and in the wrong place,” he said.

By dusk, hundreds of activists, led by attorney Michael Avenatti and actress Alyssa Milano, staged a protest near the White House, with chants of “traitor!” echo-ing along Pennsylvania Avenue.

Trump still maintained that his meetings with NATO allies went well and his summit with

Putin “even better.” But this reference to diplo-matic success carried an edge, too, since the barrage of criticism and insults he delivered in Brussels and London was hardly well-received.

Later Tuesday, Trump tweeted, “The meeting between President Putin and myself was a great success, except in the Fake News Media!”

On Capitol Hill, top Republican leaders said they were open to slap-ping fresh sanctions on Russia, but they showed no sign of acting any time soon.

“Let’s be very clear, just so everybody knows: Russia did meddle with our elections,” said House Speaker Paul Ryan, another steady Trump political ally. “What we intend to do is make sure they don’t get away with it again and also to help our allies.”

In the Senate, McCon-nell said “there’s a possi-bility” his chamber would act, pointing to a biparti-san measure from Sen. Marco Rubio, R-Fla., and Sen. Chris Van Hollen, D-Md., to deter future Russian interference by ordering sanctions against countries if they do.

Summary: As cooler, less humid air extends from the Midwest to the Northeast, steamy air will fuel drenching storms in the Deep South and locally severe storms over the Plains today. Much of the West can expect dry weather, except for spotty storms over the deserts. Any storms in the South, Plains and Southwest may cause fl ash fl ooding.
