In the news Hunters unearth massive mammoth tusk in Arctic ANCHORAGE (AP) — A pair of duck hunters in northwest Alaska stumbled upon a 177-pound woolly mammoth tusk sticking out of the ground.

Justin Schultze and Brandon Nayokpuk spotted what they initially thought was a shiny log while hunting earlier this month near the village of Shishmaref on the Chukchi Sea coast, the Anchorage Daily News reported Saturday.

Schultze and his cousin dug with their hands for about a half-hour to free the item from the clay-like soil, finding a curved 12-foot tusk. They loaded the tusk onto a skiff to lug home, later weighing it on a meat scale.

Since bringing the tusk home, about half the village of 600 people has visited his house in recent days, Schultze said. The tusk’s surface is mostly smooth, like polished amber, he said. The tusk’s center is encircled with dark ribbons, and the tip appears gray and dull.

Schultze has already sold the tusk to an Anchorage man, fetching a nice price after splitting the money with Nayokpuk, he said.

Shishmaref, like other villages in the Arctic, has seen the effects of climate change.

Stable sea ice has become less frequent, and coastal roads have become vulnerable to storms with surging waves.

An unexpected effect is that artifacts are being unveiled by erosion. Area residents have found mammoth bones and teeth, and a larger tusk was discovered a couple of years ago, Schultze said.

LNG project advances as Alaska, ExxonMobil forge agreement on pricing

By DAN JOLING Associated Press

ANCHORAGE — A second major oil company has agreed to key terms for the sale of Alaska North Slope natural gas to a state-sanctioned corporation that seeks to build a $34 billion liquefied natural gas project, including an 800-

mile pipeline to move gas to an ocean port.

The Alaska Gasline Development Corp. announced Monday that ExxonMobil has committed to a price and volume basis for the sale of natural gas from fields at Prudhoe Bay and Point Thompson along the state’s north coast.

The development cor-

poration reached a parallel agreement with BP in May. Negotiations continue with ConocoPhillips. All three producers are envisioned to be part of the project.

Andy Mack, commissioner of the Alaska Department of Natural Resources, said the commitment of gas is a milestone but just one of many steps

necessary in the undertaking of such a huge project.

“BP in May, and now ExxonMobil today, are saying as clear as one can say at this point, that we’re on board with the project, the project structure,” Mack said at a press briefing.

Lieza Wilcox, a development corporation vice president, said knowing what the

project would be paying for natural gas is crucial.

“It’s very important as an early step for financing and for looking for investment into the next stage of the project,” she said.

Prudhoe Bay and Point Thompson are anchor fields for the project and hold 30 trillion See LNG, page A6

Alaska Airlines workers ask for better wages

By ALEX MCCARTHY Juneau Empire

Carlos Rivera has been with Alaska Airlines for 10 years as a ramp service agent, but he still doesn’t make enough to take his children on vacation this summer.

“What’s the point if we can fly for free down to Disney but I can’t afford a bed and breakfast or a hotel to take the kids?”

Rivera asked.

Rivera was one of about two dozen Alaska Airlines employees who stood in front of the Juneau International Airport on Monday morning and demonstrated their desire for better pay, benefits and long-term job security. Rivera wore a neongreen “Show Us The Money” shirt. Others wore shirts that read, “United, We Bargain. Divided, We Beg.” Alaska Airlines and the International Association of Machinists (IAM) & Aerospace Workers Local 2202 union are currently in negotiations, the protesters explained, and they believe this is the time to make their voices heard. According to the website for IAM District 142, Alaska Airlines was ne-

gotiating with unions in midAugust and will again be in negotiations in Seattle starting this Tuesday.

Alaska Airlines spokesperson Marilyn Romano provided

a statement from the company to the Empire about the negotiations.

“Alaska Airlines is currently in the process of negotiating two labor agreements with

IAM,” the statement read. “Our philosophy is to pay our employees fair, competitive wages and offer quality of life benefits that include health insurance, 401k contributions and flight

benefits. As a rule, we do not elaborate on specifics during union negotiations.”

At Juneau’s airport Monday, Ramp Service Agent John Walters carried a sign that simply said, “Job Security.” Walters has been there for more than 19 years, but said he doesn’t have a long-term contract and lives with that anxiety of not knowing whether he’ll still have his job in a year or two.

“That’s one of the main things,” Walters said. “Our jobs aren’t guaranteed. We live contract to contract.”

Many of the ramp service agents (the people who guide the planes in and unload the planes) and the counter service agents (the people who check you in when you arrive for your flight) have to work second jobs to support their families.

Mary Ann Breffeilh, who has worked as a counter service agent for 20 years, said she’s fortunate because it’s just her and her husband, but she sees her friends and co-workers working multiple jobs and long days. She waved a sign at cars that arrived at the airport, lookSee AIR, page A6

Family business: Brothers’ Cafe opens at Kenai airport

By VICTORIA PETERSEN Peninsula Clarion

Correction The Wednesday, Sept. 5 article “Begich refuses to withdraw” incorrectly stated that independent Shawn Butler, winner of the House District 29 Democratic primary, had withdrawn from the general election. He did not withdraw. Butler remains on the ballot and will face Republican Ben Carpenter. The Clarion regrets the error.

Brothers’ Cafe is the newest tenant inside the Kenai Municipal Airport restaurant space.

The business venture reunited two brothers, Jim and Lyndell Hamilton, after more than 40 years apart. The cafe offers a full coffee bar, breakfast, lunch and dinner, and features recipes from the Hamiltons’ mother’s home cooking. Jim and Lyndell Hamilton are the youngest of 11 children. Food was their family’s way of showing people they cared for them, Jim Hamilton said, and it’s something they hope to share with the community of Kenai.

“We shared our food,” Jim Hamilton said. “We were poor, so food was important. That stuck in all of us kids, especially in my brother and I. The

menu is all about comfort food.

It’s what we grew up on and we feel that is kind of missing around here.”

Jim Hamilton is already familiar with the Kenai Airport.

He works as the executive director for the Kenai Airportbased missionary aviation nonprofit, Arctic Barnabas. He’s also a pastor and business and marketing consultant. He’s lived in Kenai three separate times, and for more than a year he’s been looking for a spot to open a small cafe where his family could share their love of comfort food. He convinced his brother, Lyndell Hamilton — who has been working in the food industry and as a chef for over for years — to move to

Double O previously occupied the space for two years and left earlier this summer. The Clarion previously reported

that owner Tammy Olson said Double O made nearly three times as much money working in their food truck as they did at their airport location.

Bethel seeks to remove ‘Lousetown’ nickname from code

The city of Kenai put a request out for restaurant proposals in June of this year, but changed the terms of the space’s leasing agreement. Instead of offering a bid for annual rent, applicants offer a bid based on 10 percent of their gross monthly receipts. The Hamiltons’ parent company, Situal, LLC submitted the only response, offering the minimum for both rates, the Clarion previously reported.

Fewer people are traveling through the Kenai Municipal Airport. The terminal’s annual passenger boardings have been falling since 2014, when 100,929 people boarded there.

In 2017, 93,844 people boarded, according to historical data included in the city of Kenai’s proposal. Receipts of the restaurant have also declined be-

ANCHORAGE — A section of a small town in western Alaska has long been known as “Lousetown,” which some residents find insulting to the Alaska Natives who live there.

But in Bethel, it’s not just an unpleasant nickname with connotations of parasitic lice.

It’s in the municipal code.

Now an effort is underway to officially change the code and rename the area East Avenue, for the road traversing that part of the community of about 6,000. A final vote is set to take place Tuesday at the Bethel City Council meeting.

“I never did like it to be called Lousetown, but it sort of stuck,” said 79-year-old Bea Kristovich, who lived there in her youth. Kristovich, who

is part Yup’ik Eskimo, agrees with other locals that the area should be called one of various Yup’ik names.

The issue emerged when City Council member Thor Williams introduced a proposal to change the code to require visible addresses on buildings throughout the city, including Lousetown.

“It’s a very bad term,” Williams said. “And it’s a very bad

reference to a part of our community.”

Williams didn’t know when or why the area got its name, which is a common reference to it even though there are no signs in town with the name Lousetown. No one else seems to know the origin of the nickname either. Some longtime locals say it’s always been known by that name, while others, such as traditional

chief Louie Andrew, say it began only a few decades ago.

Either way, Andrew would be happy to see the end of Lousetown as a name of the area he calls home.

“It’s offensive and demeaning,” he said.

The word louse refers to unpleasant or contemptible people. But it’s also the plural for lice — the parasitic insect See CODE, page A6

Tropical Storm Olivia approaches Hawaii

By AUDREY McAVOY Associated Press

HONOLULU — Hawaii officials on Monday urged residents and visitors to be prepared as a strong tropical storm approached the island state.

Olivia was 415 miles east of Hilo and moving west at 9 mph at 2 p.m. local time. It had maximum sustained winds of 70 mph shortly after being downgraded from a hurricane.

Honolulu Mayor Kirk Caldwell cautioned against complacency, noting tropical storms have led to flooding in Honolulu in recent years.

“We don’t know what it’s going to look like as Olivia approaches the Hawaiian Islands.

So please, folks, don’t let your guard down,” Caldwell said.

He said crews were working hard to clear debris from streams so they wouldn’t block expected increased water flows.

Forecasters say Olivia may drop 10 to 15 inches of rain on

the Big Island and Maui County, though some areas could get 20 inches.

Wil Okabe, Hawaii County managing director, said work crews were being sent to neighborhoods and parts of highways that flooded and suffered landslides during Hurricane Lane last month.

“By having people around to monitor the situation, to look for the signs, we can respond much quicker,” Okabe said.

The county is also preparing to open shelters.

Lane dumped more than 52 inches of rain on the Big Island, marking the nation’s second-highest rainfall total for a tropical cyclone since 1950.

Nearly 40 people had to be rescued from floodwaters, while about 200 people reported damage to their homes on the Big Island because of Lane.

Hurricane Harvey, which deposited more than 60 inches of rain in Texas last year, is the nation’s wettest tropical

cyclone in the past seven decades.

The ground has dried since Lane so there isn’t concern about it being already saturated before the Olivia arrives, Okabe said.

Keith Regan, managing director of Maui County, urged visitors to stay away from the town of Hana and the narrow winding road leading there.

Hana Highway is a popular route for tourists to the island and could suffer some of the biggest effects of the storm.

Hawaii Gov. David Ige says the state would be placing road equipment in Hana before the storm arrives so crews will be ready to respond if the highway gets blocked.

Oahu and Kauai are forecast to receive 3 to 6 inches (7 to 15 centimeters) of rain, though precipitation could be as much as 8 to 10 inches in some areas.

The forecast shows the center of the storm passing through a channel between the

Big Island and Maui. But officials stressed there’s uncertainty about the storm’s exact path.

“It’s important that we don’t focus on the forecast track.

This storm could directly impact every area of the state from South Point all the way to the north shore of Kauai,” said Tom Travis, the administrator of the Hawaii Emergency Management Agency.

On Guam, residents woke up Tuesday to flooded streets, downed trees and widespread power outages after Typhoon Mangkhut passed through overnight.

The Pacific Daily News reports government agencies were conducting damage assessments and beginning to clear roads. About 80 percent of the U.S. territory was without power.

Hurricanes are spawned east of the international date line. Typhoons develop west of the line.

California highway reopens after blaze SHASTA-TRINITY NATIONAL FOREST, Calif. (AP) — A major interstate that connects California and Oregon reopened Monday after a wildfire roared along the roadway and forced a six-day closure while burned trees and charred vehicles were removed.

One lane in each direction of Interstate 5 near the Oregon border was reopened with restrictions and warnings of slow traffic, California Department of Transportation spokeswoman Denise Yergenson said.

With the fire still burning, vehicles carrying flammable materials, including hay, wood chips, lumber and logs, will not be allowed along the 17mile stretch in Shasta-Trinity National Forest.

“Motorists should anticipate long lines of vehicles and long delays,” Yergenson said.

The stretch of highway that traverses the West Coast from Mexico to Canada and serves

as a main artery for commerce had been closed since Wednesday, when a wall of flames descended from hills along the highway and forced motorists to abandon trucks and cars.

Officials have determined that the freeway is safe for travel, but potential closures could be ordered at any time.

Access ramps along the stretch remained closed.

The blaze has chewed through 64 square miles of timber and brush. It was 5 percent contained Monday. The blaze was human-caused, officials said, without indicating whether it was arson or an accident.

The highway closure forced trucks and other traffic to take smaller, winding roads that added 100 miles and as long as eight hours to trips in bumperto-bumper traffic.

It was the latest of several major fires that have ravaged the area this summer. The cur-

rent fire was moving into an area that previously burned.

The wildfire also was close to the scene of a massive blaze that killed eight people and burned about 1,100 homes

before it was contained last month.

In Napa County, California fire officials lifted all mandatory orders for a blaze that ignited over the weekend and had threatened 180 homes.

Obituary Polly Rae Crawford Polly Rae Crawford passed away due to complications stemming from breast cancer on Sept. 6, 2018 at 12:01 a.m. at her home in Kenai, Alaska. She was 67 years old. Her passing was peaceful, and she was surrounded by people who loved her.

Polly was born on July 4, 1951 in Port Washington, Wisconsin. She was a 40-year resident of Alaska and loved everything about this beautiful state.

Polly is a powerful testimony of God’s goodness through suffering and pain. She fought cancer for 17 years, but that didn’t hold her back! She was dedicated to discovering God’s truth, and her faith in God’s promises never wavered.

She had an eternity perspective.

Polly was an avid adventurer, writer and teacher. She traveled the world, wrote and published six books, with two more in the works, wrote for the Peninsula Clarion, taught at Soldotna Middle School for 21 years, and shared her zeal for life and fun through her newspaper column: Perils of Polly, and an online blog detailing her cancer journey and her trust in God’s Word.

Her horses were Polly’s best friends, along with the kind and courageous people she rode with. She loved riding into the mountains and enjoying God’s beautiful creation. Getting into the saddle was Polly’s favorite thing to do, and it was one gift that didn’t cause her pain.

Polly is survived by her children, Amber Lowenstein and Tina Madrid, wife to Ben Madrid, and her five grandchildren, Kindle, Selene, Cyndle, Jasmine and Judah, and her sister, Sue Weidman, wife to Bob Weidman, nephew Daniel and nieces Rebecca and Tawni, and her beloved church family, treasured friends, “bad girls,” students, and a community who loved her.

A Celebration of Life Service will be held at Trinity Christian Center on Saturday, Sept. 15 at 2 p.m.

What Others Say

Football programs must start taking player safety seriously You can add the name Jordan McNair

to the list of college, high school and middle school players who might have needlessly died for the love of football.

A simple, well-known procedure — immersing McNair, 19, in a tub of ice water — when he collapsed at an off-season University of Maryland workout in May could well have saved his life. But it didn’t happen. This failure drew national attention to how unprepared many football programs are to keep their players safe.

The focus on concussions can obscure the deaths that continue to occur each year. Last year, 13 high school and college players died from incidents that include heat stroke, head injuries and sudden cardiac arrest.

Just two weeks ago in Crowley, Texas, Kyrell McBride-Johnson, 13, collapsed at a middle school practice and died that night. His mother told The Dallas Morning News that he was signaling for water before collapsing.

An autopsy has not been completed, but the death of anyone so young raises troubling questions.

The simple truth is that player safety at too many schools and colleges comes in a poor second to winning.

Even as the climate warms, colleges, high schools and middle schools are starting football season earlier than they used to.

Five decades ago, Notre Dame and Michigan opened their seasons on the third Saturday of September and Ohio State on the fourth Saturday. This year, spurred by longer seasons and lucrative TV schedules, all three teams played their first game Sept. 1, necessitating practices in midsummer heat. High schools and middle schools mimic the college schedules. (In 1968, the NFL season began on Sept. 14; this year, it kicks off this Thursday.)

Starting the season later could by itself reduce the number of heat stroke deaths. But even with the current schedule, schools know how to prevent potentially fatal incidents and to rescue students if they occur. In 2013, more than a dozen leading sports medicine groups and the National Federation of State High School Associations endorsed a list of best practices to prevent injuries and save lives.

Grading states against that list and other smart practices, the University of Connecticut’s Korey Stringer Institute found that 28 states have failed to put in place half the measures to keep students safe. Even the states that scored highest in the 2018 study — New Jersey and North Carolina — have less than 80% in place. California and Colorado, with the worst records, employ less than a third of them.

That’s inexcusable. If states have the wherewithal to run high school football programs, they have the wherewithal to do more to ensure that students don’t die.

Many of the policies are based on common sense and carry minimal costs. Preventing heat stroke, for example, requires players in hot weather to acclimate: no more than one practice a day, and no practice lasting more than three hours. But the majority of states don’t require this, according to Douglas Casa, the Stringer Institute’s CEO. Nor do all states require cold-water immersion tubs be on hand; a tub costs about $150, can be purchased at a hardware store, and is known to save lives. Many don’t have an emergency plan posted on the field and known to all school staff.

And just a handful require an athletic trainer on site for all “collision/contact” practices. Yes, this costs some money, but if a school can afford to maintain a football field and pay for coaches, insurance, uniforms and travel, the cost of a single staff member with medical training is not too much to ask.

More than 110 years ago, after at least 18 college players died during a single season, President Theodore Roosevelt saved the game by pressing for commonsense safety measures.

Today, everyone knows what the solutions are. It’s long past time for state athletic officials and lawmakers to act.

Obama goes on attack, but arguments fall flat against Trump successes

He’s back! President Obama has emerged from his supposed cloistered life to attack President Trump. Obama broke with a tradition apparently only modern Republican ex-presidents follow, which is not to speak ill of your successor.

Obama, who reportedly has been running his “Organizing for America” operation, along with his White House aide Valerie Jarrett from his expensive home in a Washington neighborhood, spoke to a group of University of Illinois students last Friday, claiming it was his policies, not those of President Trump, that have produced the current economic boom.

“When you hear how great the economy’s doing right now, let’s just remember when this recovery started,” Obama said.

But during the Obama administration, the Gross Domestic Product never exceeded 3 percent annually. Obama said the days of strong economic growth were behind us, that many manufacturing jobs were lost and not returning and that candidate Trump didn’t have a “magic wand” to fix the economy. But in the second quarter of this year, economic growth exceeded 4 percent and manufacturing jobs are making a comeback.

By the time Obama left office, the unemployment rate had declined from a high approaching 8 percent at the start of his administration to just under 5 percent, but was beginning to tick back upward, according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics.

In less than two years of the Trump ad-

ministration, the nation has effectively gained full employment (3.9 percent unemployment rate) with minority unemployment reaching record lows.

Obama should receive some credit for Cal Thomas the way his administration helped the country after the 2007 recession, but not all the credit he now claims for himself.

Hourly earnings, which were largely stagnant during the Obama years, have increased an average 2.9 percent over the last year.

Obama’s speech was part of a carefully coordinated strategy to win back a House majority for Democrats. This has included demonstrators at the hearings for Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh; the Bob Woodward book “Fear” and the daily and sometimes hourly torrent of anti-Trump invective from the major media, which see impeachment as their only hope of returning the establishment to power.

Trump did himself a favor by not responding to Obama’s speech in kind. Instead of taking to Twitter for a blistering attack, he joked that Obama’s speech put him to sleep.

The president did something last week I have long urged him to do. Statistics are dry. Show people who have jobs they

couldn’t find during the Obama years.

In a speech in North Dakota, the president brought a man onstage who thanked him for his economic policies that allowed the man to go back to work.

Here’s how The Daily Caller reported the story: “The man told a story about the coal industry under Obama and how ‘the coal industry absolutely had the boot of government on its throat.’ “‘Many, many jobs were lost,’ the coal miner said, ‘and many towns were destroyed by this. It was just a horrible thing.

Horrible suffering happened in this country. Really for made-up reasons, I think.

And what your administration does — has done — is bringing us back to life.’”

The audience cheered.

This is the way to counter the resistance. Keep showcasing people who were unemployed during the Obama years, but now have jobs. The president should then say if Democrats win a congressional majority they will stifle his successes and try to return to the failed policies of the past.

That objective is what Obama meant in his speech. It is the opposite strategy, one that is working, that President Trump stressed in his. A show and tell approach can work against the tidal wave of opposition coming from the left.

Flesh and blood are more powerful than ink and paper and TV news.

Letters to the Editor

In 1980, Valdez leaders in fisheries and business founded the Valdez Fisheries Development Association Inc. (VFDA), and built the Solomon Gulch Hatchery in Port Valdez in an effort to support the Valdez economy. The Solomon Gulch Hatchery would later become a consistent producer of early run pink salmon as well as Coho salmon, extending the common property fishery as well as significantly expanding sport fishing opportunities in Valdez. This also led to the development of the Annual Silver Salmon derby in Valdez, which has become an economic boon for the community.

Hatcheries are the solution Alaska’s founders intended for us to cultivate decades ago. When salmon runs collapsed, a group of individuals representing various user groups joined to find ways to not only save our wild salmon but help them flourish – all while remaining dedicated to the environment and the sustainability of Alaska’s fisheries.

Today, Alaska’s economy is thriving due to the foresight of many before us, and today many users depend on our fisheries enhancement programs. Hatcheries generate hundreds of millions of dollars in annual economic output, from commercial, sport and subsistence fishing revenue.

Currently, there are many research projects related to Alaska salmon. One major research project called the Wild Hatchery Interaction Study conducted by the ADF&G and industry studies the genetics, scope of straying hatchery-raised salmon, and the population fitness of interacting hatchery and wild salmon. This project was developed to better help understand our salmon ecosystem in a way not possible before. Results of this study will chart a new path for Alaska salmon, and the Alaska Hatchery program.

Innovation and determination are the lifeblood of Alaska, as was etched in his-

tory by hardy Alaskans like those survivors of the 1964 earthquake. Thanks to them – along with Ted Stevens and other visionary leaders in Alaska’s fisheries – the state’s hatcheries play a vital role in ensuring to future generations that they can enjoy and benefit from healthy salmon stocks.

To fulfill that promise, we must work together and rely on sound science. So grab your pole, grab your net, and help us carry on a tradition older than Alaska itself.

Salmon hatcheries support Alaskans and feed the world When the Good Friday earthquake shook Alaska in 1964, the damage wasn’t confined to buildings and homes. In some coastal areas, the land and ocean floor were uplifted dramatically impacting the productivity of aquatic habitat for decades.

For the fishing towns of Cordova and Valdez, the fertile salmon spawning grounds of Prince William Sound all but dried up. But this wasn’t the end of the story.

The people of Cordova created the Prince William Sound Aquaculture Corp.

(PWSAC). The nonprofit transformed an old cannery at the Port San Juan into a prolific wild salmon hatchery. As U.S. Senator Ted Stevens recalled in the late 1970s, “In desperation, the community of Cordova banded together to build a major fish hatchery, which was one of the greatest community projects I have ever witnessed in Alaska.” Around the same time, the Alaska Legislature introduced the Fisheries Rehabilitation, Enhancement, and Development (FRED) Division within the Alaska Department of Fish & Game, and funding was provided to the department to construct hatchery facilities across the state and to staff them. Through the 1970s and 1980s, FRED and the Sport Fish Division collaborated on a number of projects statewide to improve opportunities for commercial and sport users.

Shortly after opening the hatchery in 1974, PWSAC recorded the largest salmon run of any hatchery in the world. The Alaska seafood industry was once again working to meet the demands of the global marketplace, as well as support the coastal economies of Prince William Sound.

Nation/World Officer who killed neighbor goes to grand jury

By RYAN TARINELLI and KEN MILLER Associated Press

DALLAS — The case against a white Dallas police officer who shot and killed a black neighbor in the neighbor’s home will be presented to a grand jury, which could decide on more serious charges than manslaughter, the district attorney overseeing the case said Monday.

Lawyers for the victim’s family questioned why it took three days for officer Amber Guyger to be charged and why she was so quick to use deadly force in her encounter with 26-year-old Botham Jean, who lived in the apartment directly above hers. She told authorities she mistook the neighbor’s unit for her own.

The officer was arrested Sunday night and booked into jail in neighboring Kaufman County before being released on bond.

When asked why Guyger was allowed to surrender somewhere other than Dallas County’s jail, Dallas County District Attorney Faith Johnson said the decision was made by the Texas Rangers, who are also investigating.

Guyger had just ended a 15hour shift Thursday when she

returned in uniform to the South Side Flats apartment complex.

She parked on the fourth floor, instead of the third, where she lived, according to an affidavit filed for the officer’s arrest warrant, possibly suggesting that she was confused or disoriented.

When she put her key in the apartment door that was unlocked and slightly ajar, it opened. Inside, the lights were off. Then she saw a figure in the darkness, the affidavit said.

The officer concluded that her apartment was being burglarized and gave verbal commands to the figure, which ignored them. She then drew her weapon and fired twice, the affidavit said.

When she turned on the lights, she realized she was in the wrong unit, according to the affidavit, which appeared to be based almost entirely upon the officer’s account.

The Dallas County medical examiner’s office said Jean died of a gunshot wound to the chest. His death was ruled a homicide.

Jean’s mother said investigators had not given her family an account of what happened. Allison Jean told a news conference that she asked many questions but was told there are no answers yet.

The family hired attorney Benjamin Crump, who is best known for representing the families of Trayvon Martin and Michael Brown. Martin was the black 17-year-old who was fatally shot in 2012 by George Zimmerman, a Hispanic man who was his Orlando-area neighborhood’s watch captain.

Brown, who was 18, was shot to death in 2014 by a white police officer in Ferguson, Missouri.

“Black people in America have been killed by police in

some of the most unbelievable manners,” Crump said Monday at a news conference, citing “driving while black in our cars” and “walking while black in our neighborhoods.”

Now, he said, “we are being killed living while black when we are in our apartments.”

The family’s legal team also includes Lee Merritt, who has represented relatives of an unarmed black teenager who was shot in the back by a white police officer in June while fleeing a traffic stop near Pittsburgh.

California aims to drop fossil fuels for electricity by 2045

By JONATHAN J. COOPER Associated Press

SACRAMENTO, Calif.

— California has set a goal of phasing out electricity produced by fossil fuels by 2045 under legislation signed Monday by Gov. Jerry Brown.

Brown, who has positioned California as a global leader in the effort to reduce greenhouse gas emissions, approved the measure as he prepares to host a summit in San Francisco of climate change leaders from around the world starting Wednesday.

The measure represents the latest in a string of ambitious environmental initiatives as California seeks to fill a void left by President Donald Trump’s decision to withdraw from the Paris climate accord and his efforts to boost the coal industry.

The state is pushing to rapidly expand adoption of electric vehicles and has created a “cap and trade” program to put a price on carbon emissions, creating incentives to reduce them. It’s working toward a goal, pushed by Brown and adopted by lawmakers, to reduce greenhouse gas emissions by 40 percent over the next 12 years.

But the efforts have drawn criticism from business groups worried about rising electric bills. Some environmentalists

who say Brown is too cozy with oil and gas interests and plan to disrupt the San Francisco summit.

The renewable energy measure would require California’s utilities to generate 60 percent of their energy from wind, solar and other specific renewable sources by 2030. That’s 10 percent higher than the current mandate.

The goal would then be to use only carbon-free sources to generate electricity by 2045.

It’s merely a goal, with no mandate or penalty for falling short.

“It’s not going to be easy and will not be immediate, but it must be done,” Brown said.

“California is committed to doing whatever is necessary to meet the existential threat of climate change.”

California’s renewable energy goal is not as ambitious as Hawaii, which has adopted a 100 percent renewable energy mandate.

Phasing out fossil fuels would be a massive change in the energy grid. Utilities rely on natural gas plants to meet demand when renewables fall short, particularly in the early evening when the sun sets and people turn on their air conditioners as they get home from work.

Utilities are already dealing with an abundance of solar energy during peak times, which

STOCKHOLM — Sweden has become the latest European country to have its political order shaken by a backlash against large-scale immigration, with voters giving a boost to a farright party and weakening the more established ones.

Sunday’s election left the two rival blocs — a center-left group and a center-right alliance — with roughly 40 percent of the vote each, portending what is likely to be weeks of uncertainty and complex coalition talks before a new government can be formed.

The Sweden Democrats, which has roots in a neo-Nazi movement but has worked to soften its image, won 17.6 percent, up from 13 percent in 2014, for a third-place finish. That showing is not strong enough for it to lead a government, but it reflects how deeply that Sweden, famous for its progressive policies, is being transformed by migration.

The country that is home to the Nobel prizes and militarily neutral policies for the better part of two centuries has been known for its comparatively open doors to migrants and refugees.

Sunday’s general election was the first since Sweden, with a population of 10 million, took in a record 163,000 migrants in 2015 — the highest per capita of any European country.

That had followed the earlier arrival of hundreds of thousands of asylum seekers.

Since 2015, the center-left government has sharply restricted immigration, but many Swedes complain that society cannot cope with integrating so many newcomers, many of them Muslims from Africa and the Middle East.

The growing strength of the Sweden Democrats also reflects how old taboos are collapsing.

Only a few years ago, Swedes would be shunned as racist for suggesting the country had limits on how many migrants it should take, or for expressing the view that it is hard to integrate Africans and Arabs. But people increasingly are expressing such ideas more freely — adding to the support for the party.

While the result is a boost for the Sweden Democrats, the party fell short of pre-election predictions.

The Expressen tabloid said in editorial that “it all pointed

FRANKFURT, Germany (AP) — Trial proceedings have begun in the lawsuit brought against Volkswagen by investors alleging the company did not give them timely notice of its scandal over cars rigged to cheat on diesel emissions tests.

Investors are seeking almost 9 billion euros ($10.4 billion), saying Volkswagen didn’t give them the information they needed to decide what to do with their shares before the scandal became public. The U.S. Environmental Protection agency accused Volkswagen in September 2015 of manipulating diesel emissions, sending the shares sharply lower.

The case opening Monday in front of the higher regional court in Braunschweig involves claims from investors that will serve as a model for further cases, the dpa news agency reported. The model case involves claims of 4 billion euros from Deka Investments and other shareholders. Proceedings are being held in a convention hall due to the number of participants and high public interest.

The company says it met its duty to inform investors in time.

In a setback for investors, Presiding Judge Christian Jaede indicated that claims involving company actions before the middle of 2012 could be excluded. Attorneys for the investors had argued that company’s behavior as far back as June 2008 should be considered, arguing Volkswagen knew then that its diesel technology was flawed.

The company has argued that previous industry cases of emissions violations had been settled with more modest penalties and that top management did not know it would face a sweeping violation notice that cost it billions and severely damaged the companies’ reputation.

Volkswagen has admitted rigging engine control software in the U.S. to turn down emissions controls when vehicles were not being tested. That way they passed certification tests but spewed up to 40 times the U.S. limit of harmful nitrous oxides during every day driving.

The company pleaded guilty and agreed to pay $4.3 billion in fines and penalties. Two executives were jailed in the U.S. and the company’s former CEO, Martin Winterkorn, was charged with wire fraud and conspiring to violate the Clean Air Act but cannot be extradited from Germany. A criminal investigation is still ongoing in Germany.

In all, the company has set aside 27.4 billion euros ($31.7 billion) for fines, settlements, recalls and buybacks.

must be offloaded to other states when there’s not enough demand locally for the power.

Renewable energy experts have looked to batteries that can store solar energy generated in the afternoon as one solution, but the technology is not ready for wide-scale deployment. Another potential solution is pumped storage, in which water is pumped uphill in the afternoon using solar energy and then released through hydroelectric generators after the sun sets.

Brown has often faced criticism that he’s too lenient with the oil industry, including from environmental groups pushing him to create a moratorium on new oil and gas wells in the state.

California has nearly 54,000 active wells, some of them close to urbanized areas in Southern California and the Central Valley, according to state data.

California ranked sixth among states in crude oil production in May, the latest data available from the U.S. Energy Information Administration.

The state ranks 15th in natural gas production. California’s production of crude oil has fallen steadily since the mid1980s.

Business groups also opposed the measure amid concerns that it would raise the price of energy and, together with California’s other environmental and labor protections, make it hard to compete with firms in other states.

Sweden joins Europe’s move to right over migration backlash

at the Sweden Democrats taking over the position as Sweden’s second-biggest party. But the expected … bang didn’t happen.”

The election came after populist and anti-migrant parties made significant political gains in Germany, Austria and Italy since 2015 — the other countries that have shouldered the heaviest burden of accommodating those fleeing war and conflict or simply searching for a better life elsewhere.

Sweden also gained international scrutiny after U.S. President Donald Trump portrayed the country as place where multiculturalism has brought crime and insecurity.

In early 2017, Trump claimed that a terrorist attack had happened the previous night in Sweden. The night, in fact, had been quiet, but Trump had seen a Fox News report about crime by immigrants in Sweden. He has insisted that he is still right about the general picture of the country as one where large-scale migration has brought security threats.

That narrative of Sweden as a failed multicultural experiment is also pushed by some on the right in Europe. While some Swedes say there is some truth to that, others feel it is too exaggerated and ignores the fact that Sweden is a place with a strong economy where many things work very well.

MADRID — Spain says it is holding talks with Saudi Arabia to resolve differences over a shipment of bombs that, according to Spanish defense authorities, could end up targeting civilians in Yemen.

Defense Minister Margarita Robles told senators at a hearing on Monday that the decision wasn’t final and that she expected that talks between the two trade partners would settle the dispute.

Her department had announced last week that it was halting the delivery of 400 laser-guided precision bombs ordered by Riyadh in 2015 and paid for.

tween 2014 and 2017 — from $302,658 to $141,299, the Clarion previously reported.

Jim Hamilton said he isn’t worried though. The cafe opened in late August, and he said they plan on being at the location for at least five years.

The lease is one year and 11 months, with three one-year extensions available.

Q: What are you offering that other places around here are not?

A: Jim Hamilton: Food has always been at the center of our family and our life and hospitality is a big deal for our family, as well. We’re making amazing desserts. Like today, Lyndell made a Reese’s peanut butter cheesecake. Yesterday he made a raspberry mocha cake that had Alaska-grown raspberries in it. We have buttermilk pies and we will soon be making all kinds of cream pies too. We also use our momma’s breading recipe. It’s a thinner breading that is flaky and light.

It’s nice because you don’t get big bites of breading with no meat or whatever. What people are telling us is that we have the best burger in Kenai. We’re not just making that boast.

We wanted to make the best burger. We said we want to make a burger for a reasonable price that oozes with flavor.

We use a handcrafted burger.

It’s not a frozen burger you get from your supplier. We weigh them out and handcraft them.

We even have a gluten-free bun, and we have gluten-free bread and pies, too. I and my grandson have a gluten intolerance.

We are finding there’s a lot of

Court reports The following judgments were recently handed down in Kenai District Court: n Eric James Allen Christin, 35, pleaded guilty to an amended charge of fourthdegree criminal mischief, committed Nov. 27. He was fined a $50 court surcharge and placed on probation for 12 months. n Lanny L. Perrill, 30, of Soldotna, pleaded guilty to violating condition of release, a domestic violence offense committed Aug. 22. He was sentenced to two days in jail and fined a $50 court surcharge and a $50 jail surcharge.

Police reports n On Sept. 3, as the result of an ongoing investigation, Andrew B. Cronce, 18, of Kenai, was arrested for second-degree sexual abuse of a minor, two counts of thirddegree sexual abuse of a minor, first-degree burglary, and tampering with physical evidence and was taken to Wildwood Pretrial Facility. n On Sept. 6 at about 3:10 p.m., Alaska State Troopers responded to the Lower Russian Lakes trail in Cooper Landing for the report of a woman impaled by an arrow.

The woman was about four to six miles from the trailhead.

Troopers provided immediate medical attention while medics responded to the scene.

Volunteers from Moose Pass Fire and Bear Creek Volunteer Fire Departments responded to the scene. Ultimately, the 210th and 212th Rescue Squadrons from Rescue Coordination Center also responded. The woman, Janis Bronson, 59, of Anchorage, was hoisted aboard a National Guard helicopter and taken to Providence Alaska Medical Center for treatment of her non-life-threatening injury.

Bronson was impaled by an arrow that had been left on the trail. n On Sept. 5 at about 12:00 p.m., Alaska State Troopers received the report of a stolen vehicle headed south on the Seward Highway from Girdwood. The vehicle had been reported stolen to the Anchorage Police Department on Sept. 3 The vehicle was located and stopped near Mile 56.0 of the Seward Highway. The driver, Ronald Rogers, 34, of Anchorage, was arrested for

people with gluten sensitivities here. Everything is homemade, too. We also have Lyndell who has so much experience. Kenai is lucky to have him, quite frankly. My niece and nephew are running the coffee bar. My nephew Hunter roasts coffee and we have that as well as Steamdot Coffee from Anchorage. We also plan to have live music on Friday nights, and the millennial group that works for us is trying to think of what to do on Saturday nights for the community. Young people working here is our key to success.

Q: How did you decide on the aesthetic of the cafe?

A: Jim Hamilton: We decided that as much as I like it,

we didn’t want moose heads hanging everywhere.

We wanted something where the aesthetic was different. Kenai’s ready for that. It looks like something you would find in an urban area. I helped design it, but my younger family members played an important part. We have a great view of the mountains from here and we wouldn’t want to detract from that. On clear days you can see a few other mountains.

The other day an Army helicopter flew by. Everyone got up to take pictures, and I was like ‘yes’ that’s why we are at the airport. My favorite table here is the one with scratches on it.

I bought it for $7 at Salvation Army. My wife and I got it and

she said we could get it and scrape the paint off and make it look good, and I’m like ‘no I like it.’ … It’s got the scars and scratches and it kind of reflects life, because life is messy. It just is. It doesn’t matter what age you are, you got scars and scratches from early childhood and on. As we get older we kind of just collect a lot of this stuff.

So for us, our decor is a little bit symbolic. Kind of symbolic of life and how we want to help people get through it. Some of that comes from our nonprofit faith-based background and some of it comes from my business background of helping people be successful.

Q: This spot at the airport could be seen as a risky place

to set up shop, how do you feel about it so far?

A: Jim Hamilton: I’m a business guy and a ministry guy. Generosity is in my blood.

I’m used to being very generous with people because of my ministry side. Sometimes that doesn’t translate well to business. It can get you in a hole.

We’re not a family that when we start a business, the profit is number one. We’re the people, planet, profit sector. It’s a sector that’s been emerging for a while that’s in between nonprofit and profitable business.

People, planet, profit business, is a growing sector, not so much in Alaska, but more in the Lower 48. For us, it’s not about making a lot of money. It’s about the people, adding community value and, of course, we want to make some money, but we don’t have to make a lot of money at the expense of other things important to us. We did change our hours from starting at 6 a.m. to 7 a.m. because it doesn’t pay to open earlier. We’re making enough money right now. It’s sustainable.

Q: Who is your target audience, people traveling through the airport, or people in the community?

A: Jim Hamilton: When we bid on this I was very clear that

we obviously wanted to serve airport customers. The bigger target for us is really the community. We want people in the community knowing who we are. We want to serve them.

That’s why we do street pricing at the airport. Our target audience has really been threefold: airport customers, the community and tourists.

Q: What is Brothers’ Cafe’s goal?

A: Jim Hamilton: We want it to be a communal kind of place. We plan on being here for five years. We have almost a two-year lease and three oneyear extensions. We’re comfortable being here for five years.

We believe we’re going to make it here. I am a marketing business coach, and I coach entrepreneurs to their first million frequently, so I’m not worried about taking a chance on a business. A lot of people saw this business as a risky opportunity. We feel like it’s doable.

Brothers’ Cafe is open 7 a.m. - 8 p.m. Monday - Thursday, 7 a.m. - 9 p.m. Friday and Saturday. Their grand opening is Sept. 20, and the cafe will partnering with Love INC. Ten percent of the proceeds from the opening day will go to Love INC.

Even though it’s been known as Lousetown since 67-year-old Bethel resident local Bev Hoffman can remember, it’s not a name she uses to describe the area because of its lice connotation. But it’s not a burning issue for her, either.

“It’s not anything I’m losing sleep over,” she said.

known for infesting human hair. And in the past, lice infestations were a perennial problem in western Alaska, noted state historian Jo Antonson.

Like many others, Antonson said he didn’t know when and why that section of town got that moniker.

Granted, a reference to louse is not unique to Bethel, about 400 miles (640 kilometers) west of Anchorage. There is a Louse Creek elsewhere in the state.

In Nevada, there was once a community called Lousetown.

A marker for the ghost town says it was Nevada’s most unique town name.

“We love this town, but it’s expensive here,” Breffeilh said.

“We’re just wanting people to understand that we’re not trying to be greedy, we just want fairness.”

Alaska Air Group Chief Executive Officer Brad Tilden’s income grew by 35 percent from 2016 to 2017 after the company acquired Virgin America. According to a report from the Puget Sound Business Journal, other top executives at the company saw their incomes boost by more than 25 percent.

The state has been looking at advancing the proposed pipeline with financial interests in China.

ExxonMobil is the largest holder of discovered gas resources on the North Slope.

ExxonMobil Alaska President Darlene Gates in a prepared statement said the company for decades has been working on moving Alaska gas to market.

“This precedent agreement is good for Alaska and ExxonMobil and represents a significant milestone to help advance the state-led gasline project,” Gates said.

The agreements on volume and price by are not final. Wilcox said that’s intentional.

Power and Associates recognitions for customer service in a row, the employees on the ground aren’t making as much as they are at some other airlines.

Breffeilh, Rivera and Walters all said they love their jobs and don’t want to leave them.

They just want to be able to provide more for their families. The employees smiled and laughed with each other as they held their signs and waved at cars Monday. As more employees arrived to put on the neon green shirts and hold up the signs, many of them got hugs from coworkers.

holes in the promises and liabilities in association with each agreement,” she said.

The project is going through the federal regulatory process with a final environmental review expected in November 2019 and a record of decision in February 2020. While that wraps up, the development corporation will be working out final details of the agreements with BP and ExxonMobil and seeking LNG purchasers in China, Japan and Vietnam.

In a related announcement, Mack said that the state had signed an agreement regarding a December 2019 production deadline at Point Thompson, which contains 25 percent of discovered North Slope natural gas.

A lawsuit settlement signed in 2012 required timelines for production at Point Thompson.

Failure to meet requirements by the end of 2019 could have meant relinquishment of leases.

The new agreement aims to align Point Thompson production with the LNG project. The agreement extends the production deadline as long as the LNG project progresses.

Astros’ Verlander wins in return to Detroit

By The Associated Press

DETROIT — Justin Verlander drew several big cheers and pitched seven sharp innings in his return to Comerica Park while leading the Houston Astros over the Detroit Tigers 3-2 Monday night.

Verlander struck out 10 in his first game in Detroit since being traded to Houston in August 2017. The World Series champion Astros opened a three-game lead over Oakland atop the AL West.

Rams top Raiders OAKLAND, Calif. (AP) — Jared Goff threw two touchdown passes, newcomer Marcus Peters returned an interception 50 yards for a touchdown and the Los Angeles Rams spoiled coach Jon Gruden’s much-anticipated return to the Oakland sideline by beating the Raiders 33-13 on Monday night.

The Rams (1-0) scored on a 19-yard shovel pass from Goff to Todd Gurley in the first quarter and an 8-yard strike to Cooper Kupp in the third to win in Gruden’s first game as coach of the Raiders (0-1) since the end

of the 2001 season.

Jets 48, Lions 17 DETROIT — Sam Darnold showed he could recover from a careless mistake — a promising trait for any rookie quarterback.

What the New York Jets displayed on defense and special teams may have been even more encouraging for Darnold and his teammates. Darnold threw an interception on the very first snap of his NFL career — and it was run back for a Detroit touchdown — but the Jets stormed back and routed the Lions 48-17 on Monday night.

CIA soccer nabs 3rd at tourney Staff report Peninsula Clarion

The Cook Inlet Academy coed soccer team stands at 9-1 overall this season after finishing in third place at the Tri-Valley Soccer Tournament, which took place Thursday, Friday and Saturday.

The Eagles were able to topple host Tri-Valley 4-2 in the third-place game Saturday.

CIA struck in the fourth minute of the game when Addie Nelson finished off a cross from Linnaea Dohse. However, the Warriors came back to tie it a little less than 20 minutes later on a long shot.

The Eagles retook the lead just before halftime when Hunter Moos scored from 18 yards out, but early in the second half Tri-Valley came back to tie the score again.

CIA took the lead for good in the 57th minute when Jiabao Leaf hit a long free kick to Dohse, who redirected to Moos for the finish. Dohse assisted on a goal to Moos, whose finishing off of a hat trick accounted for the final score.

Cook Inlet’s first loss of the season came Friday in the tournament semifinals. Susitna Valley avenged a 2-1 loss to CIA earlier in the season with a 2-0 victory. The Rams scored 20 minutes into the game, and despite a lot of possession, the Eagles could never find the equalizer. After an apparent goal by the Eagles was ruled offside in the second half, Su-Valley put the game away with another goal in the 73rd minute. This was the first time CIA had been shut out all season.

Cook Inlet started the tournament with a 5-0 defeat of Nenana on Thursday and a 5-3 defeat of Lumen Christi on Friday.

Thursday, four different Eagles players dented the back of the net, with Moos scoring twice by the sixth minute. Also scoring for Cook Inlet were Jamie Hyatt on an assist from Annika Castenholz, Dohse, and Cobe Young on an assist from Sophie Nelson. Lucas Cragg and Jackson Cross shared the

shutout in goal for the Eagles.

Early Friday, CIA struck first in the 12th minute when Addie Nelson delivered a corner kick that was finished off by her sister, Sophie. After the Archangels drew even, Moos scored twice before the end of the half for a 3-1 advantage.

Shortly into the second half, James Anderson stretched the lead to 4-1 with a left-footed volley from the top of the penalty area. But Archangels senior Jamie Martin scored twice within 90 seconds to cut the gap to 4-3.

Moos iced the game by completing yet another hat trick on a long ball from Leaf.

The Eagles won the sportsmanship award at the tournament. Addie Nelson, Sophie Nelson, Moos and Leaf made the all-tournament team.

Jealousy, misunderstanding chip away at relationship hate me. They try to stuff me into a mannequin shell that doesn’t fit. It’s like I am a doll and not a person. I don’t know what to do, and I am suicidal. But when I think about all the ambitions I have, I’m able to withstand another day, even though it is hard. Please help me.

-- DEPRESSED TEEN IN WASHINGTON Abigail Van Buren DEAR TEEN: Because you feel your parents may not take you seriously, be brave and tell a trusted teacher or counselor at school everything you have written to me, including your thoughts of suicide. Eating disorders can be very serious, and they are not always obvious. Because your feelings of depression are so strong that you sometimes feel you can’t go on, you need more help than an advice columnist can give you in a letter.

Please don’t wait, and please let me hear from you again.

DEAR ABBY: When did it become someone’s

right to walk into a business with a pet? People walk in and never ask. Some of those animals hike their leg, and their owners giggle and never offer an apology or to clean it up. Dogs have jumped up on other customers while their owners stood there and said, “Don’t worry. He won’t bite.” The last customer came in with a full-grown German shepherd!

I’ve gone through training on service animals, and these are definitely not service animals. What happened to common courtesies?

-- TAKEN ABACK IN OKLAHOMA DEAR TAKEN ABACK: The demise of common courtesies happened right around the time when people began believing they were the exception to the rules. When ADA legislation was passed, it was so that people with disabilities would have access to things that able-bodied people take for granted. What you are experiencing is an abuse of that law by dishonest, uncaring individuals who have no sense of shame.

-- Heloise TEXT MESS Dear Readers: Have you gotten spam text messages? Companies use computer software to put together random phone numbers that then shoot out text messages to these numbers, in the hopes of getting a nibble. It’s a new way to advertise.

Annoying, yes. To put a halt to this, report the spam to your cell provider. To stop legit text messages from companies you’ve done business with, replying “STOP” usually does the trick.

-- Heloise CLASSROOM CULTURE Dear Heloise: Here’s my hint for getting ahead in school: I always sit in the front row of the classroom, for the following reasons: * It’s easier to see the blackboard. * I won’t be distracted by other students. * I won’t be afraid to ask questions.

-- Gina T., Lubbock, Texas This works for college, and for grade and high school, too. Never feel intimidated to ask questions. The question you ask is what everyone else is wondering, too! Sitting up front is a great idea.

-- Heloise SIMPLE SOLUTION Dear Heloise: I had bad headaches, and my doctor asked me if I’d ever been checked for TMJ (temporomandibular joint disorder).

Turns out, my jaws were out of line. My dentist made me a mouthpiece, and no more headaches!

DEAR ABBY: My boyfriend and I love each other very much. But we are both so jealous we fight every day. The only time we get along is during sex and right after.

Recently, he found an email I had written when we first got together in reply to a message I had received about becoming an escort. I didn’t follow through with it, and I have never cheated. I was broke at the time, and he had just been sent back to prison. I didn’t know what to do.

How can I earn his trust and keep our relationship from becoming toxic?

-- TRYING TO MAKE IT WORK DEAR TRYING: If the only time you and your boyfriend get along is during sex or right after, your relationship is already toxic. Rather than fight and accuse each other of infidelity every day, couples in healthy relationships build each other up and support one another. Total honesty between partners is essential. If he can’t believe what you tell him, there can be no love, because there is no trust.

Pets Wildlife group: Exotic pets trade activity rises on Facebook

By KAWEEWIT KAEWJINDA Associated Press

BANGKOK — A wildlife monitoring group says research it has conducted since 2016 has found a sharp increase in the number of people belonging to Facebook groups in Thailand where endangered animals are bought and sold.

The monitoring network TRAFFIC said its researchers found 1,521 animals for sale online in 12 Facebook groups in Thailand in less than a month of monitoring in 2016. Followup research on the same 12 groups showed that at least nine were still active in July this year, with one becoming secret, and their overall membership had increased to 203,445 from 106,111.

Maethinee Phassaraudomsak, data and research officer

for TRAFFIC in Thailand, said in an email Monday that the monitoring “shows how easy it is to carry out this business and market wildlife publicly while staying anonymous and out of reach of authorities.�

A new report by the group shows screenshots of exotic animals advertised for sale on Facebook. In one example, an unidentified user posted a picture of a rare hornbill bird with a caption saying “a baby rhinoceros hornbill is available for purchase. Interested buyers, please contact by Facebook private message.� The bird’s price was listed as 9,500 baht ($289). The report said rarer and protected species command higher prices.

The report said the vast majority of animals offered in the online wildlife trade were juveniles, prized for pets.

Meet Silver Male cat who may not get along well with other cats but is very friendly to people.

The illegal wildlife trade is not new to Thailand, where wildlife seizures are often announced by authorities. In 2013, Thailand was considered to have the largest unregulated elephant ivory market in the world but it has since instituted new laws to deal with the problem.

TRAFFIC said its research found 200 different species offered for sale online and 95 of those, mostly reptiles, were not

protected by Thai law because they are not native to the country.

It said animals such as the black pond turtle that are not native to Thailand and therefore not protected by Thai law frequently turn up in wildlife seizures in the country and region. “Growing online wildlife trade will only pile further pressure on threatened non-native species that currently have no legal protection or regulation,� Kanitha Krishna-

samy, TRAFFIC’s acting regional director in Southeast Asia, said in a statement. “Giving such species protection under Thailand’s law and enabling enforcers to take action is the strongest way to address this critical conservation problem,� Kanitha said.

The TRAFFIC report recommended that “Thai authorities should establish a close working relationship with Facebook and

develop joint strategies to tackle this problem.�

Facebook said in an emailed response to an AP request for comment that “Facebook does not allow the sale or trade of endangered species or their parts, and we remove this material as soon as we are aware of it. We are committed to working with TRAFFIC and law enforcement authorities to help tackle the illegal online trade of wildlife in Thailand.�

We also want him to have at least one other, friendly dog to keep him company. He came from a property with dozens of dogs, being alone scares him. Knight is completely house trained.
