Primary results set stage for 3-way governor showdown

By BECKY BOHRER Associated Press

ANCHORAGE — The race for Alaska governor looks to be a three-man contest, though some are still seeking to pressure the Democratic challenger to bow out.

That Democrat, Mark Begich, said he’s not going anywhere: “I’m in the race,” he said.

During Tuesday’s primary, Republican former state Sen. Mike Dunleavy advanced to the general election, where he is expected to face Begich, who was unopposed in the Democratic race, and Gov. Bill Walker, an independent who skipped a head-to-head primary fight with Begich and instead gathered signatures to appear on the November ballot. Walker’s move was intended to ensure that he could run as a team with his Democratic lieutenant governor, Byron Mallott.

Walker in 2014 changed his party affiliation from Republican to undeclared in forming a so-called unity ticket with Mallott that was backed by Democrats.

Some Democrats and independents worry that Begich and Walker will split the vote and hand the race to Republicans. But Begich has said he wouldn’t have gotten into the race if he didn’t think he could win, and he and Walker have each been full-steam ahead with their campaigns.

In the news Investigators look for source of oil found at old spill site ANCHORAGE (AP) — Alaska regulators are investigating after an operator discovered crude oil along the trans-Alaska pipeline north of Fairbanks.

The Anchorage Daily News reports Alyeska Pipeline Service Co. has recovered 10 gallons (39 liters) of crude oil discovered Sunday following an excavation south of Atigun Pass.

Ashley Adamczak, environmental program specialist with the state Department of Environmental Conservation, says the oil could have been overlooked from the 2013 oil release, which occurred at the same site.

Adamczak says inspection crews had expected to find some trace of oil left from the release, but the amount found was more than expected.

Election tallies in District O, District 29 too close to call

By ELIZABETH EARL Peninsula Clarion

Gray, has circulated a petition, asking Begich to withdraw.

Those who have signed include members of Walker’s administration and others who support Walker.

Jay Parmley, executive director of the Democratic party, called the petition a campaign stunt. He said Begich was willing to get in a three-way race “because he knew where this was going.”

“I still spend a fair amount of time telling people, take a deep breath. This is doable,” Parmley said, adding later: “I don’t

know where anyone thinks this is easy. I don’t think it’s easy if it were a two-way race. I think we’re going to have to fight for every vote we get but we know what we’re doing.”

Libertarian William “Billy” Toien is also running.

Dunleavy on Tuesday topped a crowded field in the GOP gubernatorial primary that included former Lt. Gov. Mead Treadwell, who had fashioned himself as the more experienced candidate.

Dunleavy in January left the state Senate after five years to

focus on his campaign. While a senator, he clashed with GOP leaders over cuts to the annual check Alaskans receive from the state’s oil-wealth fund and over what he saw as insufficient cuts to the state budget.

Dunleavy said he likes his chances against Walker and Begich.

“I feel we’re on the right side of the issues,” Dunleavy said Tuesday night. “I feel that Alaskans want to send somebody down to Juneau that they feel is going to fight for them.”

Though the primary polls are closed, some of the races are too close to call until every last vote has been counted.

On the peninsula, three Legislature races are pending with the candidates separated by 30 votes or fewer. As of Wednesday afternoon, without absentee ballots counted, candidate Ron Gillham was leading the race for the Republican nomination in Senate District O over incumbent Peter Micciche by nine votes. In House District 29, candidate Wayne Ogle had a lead of only three votes over candidate Ben Carpenter for the Republican nomination in that race. In District 31, candidate Sarah Vance has a 30-vote lead over candidate John Cox for the Republican nomination.

On Tuesday, the Alaska Division of Elections counted early ballots cast through Monday and the first count of absentee ballots logged up to the Friday before. Next Tuesday, the division will count the early ballots voted on Aug. 21, will conduct a second count of absentee ballots in districts where voter history and duplicate voter checks are complete and the first count of questioned ballots.

The final count for the primary will be completed on Aug. 31, at which point all remaining absentee and questioned ballots will be counted.

There are a number of ab-

sentee, questioned and early ballots in both districts, and with the margins narrow, the races are too close to call yet.

According to the Division of Election, Micciche holds the lead among voters from Nikiski, Sterling and Seward while Gillham holds the edge in the Kenai/Soldotna area. Because there are no Democratic challengers in the District O race, the winner of the Republican primary will likely take the general election in November unchallenged.

In District 29, Ogle held the lead in the Nikiski and Funny River areas while Carpenter took the lead in Sterling, Cooper Landing, Moose Pass and Seward. The winner will face Democratic nominee Shawn Butler — who had no challengers in the Democratic primary — in the general election for the District 29 seat.

In District 31, Vance took the lead in Happy Valley, Ninilchik, Kasilof and Homer while Cox holds the edge in Anchor Point and Fritz Creek. The winner will face Democratic nominee Paul Seaton — who ran as a nonpartisan candidate in the Democratic primary this year after the Alaska Republican Party ousted him in response to his decision to join the bipartisan House Majority Caucus — in November.

Seaton said he was pleased with the number of people who turned out to vote for him in See CLOSE, page A2

Industry rep: Demand for oil and gas still strong, despite production decline

By VICTORIA PETERSEN Peninsula Clarion

Wednesday’s joint Chamber Luncheon hosted CEO and president of Alaska Oil and Gas Association Kara Moriarty, who offered an update on the industry.

Although production of oil and gas continues to decline, Moriarty said consumption is increasing and that demand for these resources is still present. “(Oil and gas) still dominate the revenue stream, even as production continues to decline,” she said.

Moriarty offered an optimistic outlook on the future of oil and gas in Alaska and specifically in the Kenai Peninsula region, noting that the industry currently provides thousands of jobs for the area. She said that just over 100,000 jobs in the state can be traced back to the industry, and over $6 billion in wages, according to the McDowell Group in Anchorage.

“We have some in Alaska and the statistics and forecast that are saying that the era would prove that.”

On a global scale, between of oil is over,” Moriarty said.

“We would disagree with that 1997 and 2017, oil and gas re-

serves have grown by over 50 percent, according to BP Statistical Review of World Energy 2018. The U.S. Energy Information Association said the 2040 forecast for energy consumption shows petroleum continuing to grow.

“If you combine petroleum and natural gas, over 58 percent of the globe’s energy is still going to come from those two traditional sources of fuel,” Moriarty said.

On a local level, Moriarty said that Alaska still has oil and gas reserves to explore, especially in Cook Inlet with a forecast of around 600 million barrels of oil and 19 trillion cubic feet of gas, according to United States Geological Survey.

“So that’s good for your own backyard,” she said.

The North Slope may be on the brink of new production.

Moriarty highlighted several projects to keep an eye on, including the Liberty project, which she said holds an es-

timated production value of 60,000 barrels a day, compared to the current production on the North Slope, which is a total of 520,000 barrels a day.

“We’re on the cusp of a new renaissance on the North Slope,” she said.

Looking ahead, Moriarty said the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge was the next generation of oil and gas production in Alaska.

While the Alaska Oil and Gas Association painted a bright future for oil and gas in Alaska, present production has room to improve. In the U.S., Alaska is fifth in production of oil and gas behind Texas, North Dakota, New Mexico and Oklahoma, making up only 5 percent of the production, according to the U.S. Energy Information Agency.

Moriarty suggests more investment and more stable policy will improve Alaska’s oil and gas industry.

Study: Climate models underestimate permafrost emissions JUNEAU (AP) — Global climate projections have drastically underestimated carbon emissions from thawing permafrost in the Arctic, a new study suggests.

The study published in the peer-reviewed journal Nature Communications indicated that permafrost emissions could be more than double what has been projected because of the methane from thermokarst

lakes, which form in permafrost, Alaska’s Energy Desk reported Monday.

Scientists have previously projected that the Arctic could absorb as much or more carbon than emitted partly because of additional plant growth from warmer temperatures. Taking into account the thermokarst lakes, the projections of permafrost emissions in the later part of this century could increase

by 118 percent, according to the study.

“If we take into account these lakes, we realize, ‘Oh, we actually have a pretty significant source of permafrost carbon this century,’” said Katey Walter Anthony, the study’s lead author and associate professor at University of Alaska Fairbanks.

The permafrost emissions could match emissions from land use change, like forest

clearing and burning — the second-largest human source of emissions. If more carbon from permafrost is emitted, it could lead to greater warming.

“The models that we’ve used to construct these carbon budgets of how much CO2 we can emit and stay below a certain temperature threshold that we say is the edge of where things go from bad to really bad — those carbon budgets

are probably made with models that are incomplete and may, in many ways, be very optimistic,” said Charlie Koven, a scientist who works on climate models at Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory in California.

Anthony’s study calls for the broader climate models to start incorporating thermokarst lakes for a more comprehensive projection of emissions this century.

Begich said he plans to outwork his opponents and continue to travel the state to share his message with Alaskans. He said a majority of Alaskans are looking for a change.

“The majority is not with the current governor. The majority of Alaskans are looking for something different,” Begich said.

In the Democratic U.S. House primary, independent Alyse Galvin advanced to challenge GOP incumbent Rep. Don Young, 85. Young is the longest-serving member of the U.S. House and easily won his primary.

The Alaska Democratic party changed its rules to let independents run in its primaries if they want the party’s backing.

the general election “is not that long when you want to make a big change. I do intend to keep people charged. … We are going to be hitting the ground running tomorrow.”

In a statement Wednesday, Young said he has been energized by the encouragement he’s received to keep working for the future of the state and country.

“I remain committed to protecting Alaska’s many interests so families can grow, businesses can thrive and our economy can rebuild,” he said.

Party primaries for governor and lieutenant governor determine who runs as a ticket in November. Candidates who bypass the primaries and instead gather signatures to appear on the general election ballot — as Walker opted to do — have a say in their running mates.

The next governor will face big issues, including crime and the economy, and decisions on the annual check that Alaskans receive from the state’s oilwealth fund, the Alaska Permanent Fund.

Dunleavy and Treadwell had positioned themselves as

conservatives critical of a 2016 criminal justice overhaul and the state’s approach to budgeting. Both supported the formula in state law for calculating the oil-wealth check, which has been ignored, first by the governor and then by legislators, for the past three years amid a budget deficit.

Mary Bolin, an Anchorage Republican, voted for Dunleavy. She said he was “most in line with the values I hold and the way I would like to see things run.”

Bolin said she supported Walker in 2014 and could possibly do so again in the general election, saying they share personal values. She said she wanted to hear more from the candidates before deciding who she thinks could best get the state out of its financial difficulties.

In east Anchorage, Bill Cody voted for Treadwell, whom he said made the most sense to him. Cody voted for Walker four years ago but didn’t like the governor’s handling of the Permanent Fund dividend.

“I don’t think he listened to the people at all,” Cody said,

adding he hopes it hurts Walker at the polls. “I didn’t even consider voting for him this time.”

Cody’s wife, Holly Cody, also is an undeclared voter, but she voted on the Democratic ballot. In the U.S. House race, she supported Democrat Dimitri Shein. She said she met Shein and he left a good impression.

“He’s a family man,” she said. But she’s not holding out hope that anyone will defeat Young. “Don Young’s been around forever. I think he’s got a lot of support in Alaska.”

The primaries also include a contested GOP race for lieutenant governor and state legislative races.

Of the candidates in the Democratic U.S. House race, Galvin and Shein, a Russian immigrant who became involved in politics after President Donald Trump’s election, most actively campaigned.

Young faced a primary challenge from Thomas “John” Nelson and Jed Whittaker, who had limited resources and little name recognition.

there have been seven changes to the state tax policy. AOGA has supported two of those changes.

Moriarty also spent time discussing Ballot Measure 1, which she said if it passes, will impact all current oil and gas projects, and those to come by increasing costs, time and make it challenging to permit projects.

“It will absolutely not only have an effect on oil and gas projects…” she said. “It will

be a dealbreaker for (the liquid natural gas project).”

Moriarty ended her industry update discussing climate change and Alaska’s decrease in greenhouse gas emissions.

“Climate change is happening,” she said. “There’s no doubt about it.”

Emissions in Alaska make up less than 1 percent of U.S. greenhouse gas emissions, according to the Alaska Department of Environmental Conservation.

“We also have to put into context that if we stop burning greenhouse gases and emissions today, it would not make a dent in the global problem,” she said. “Climate change is a global problem and we advocate it should be dealt with on a global, or at the very least, on a national level.”

ing forward to continuing the campaign by being “open and transparent” with people and making the rounds in the debate and forum circuit.

“It’ll be interesting because the Republican Party has been advising some of their candidates not to participate in any debates or forums,” he said.

Vance, running in her first state election, mounted a social-media based campaign and did not provide interviews

with the Homer News and KBBI public radio.

On election night she also did not return several phone calls seeking comment about the election.

The unofficial results of the gubernatorial race show a decisive victory for candidate Mike Dunleavy in most areas of the peninsula. Republican primary voters in every precinct in the central peninsula except Kenai number 3 favored

Dunleavy. Dunleavy’s popularity waned on the southern and eastern peninsula, with the voters south of Kachemak Bay, in Seward and in Hope favoring candidate Mead Treadwell.

What Others Say

It’s time for legislators to begin investigating Trump in earnest On Tuesday, the president of the

United States was credibly accused in federal court of directing one of his subordinates to commit a federal crime. The effect of their alleged conspiracy against campaign finance laws was to defraud American voters, who were prevented from learning potentially relevant information ahead of Election Day 2016. This admission came from President Trump’s longtime lawyer Michael Cohen as he pleaded guilty to eight felony counts. Mr. Trump cannot pretend these crimes did not occur or that they have nothing to do with him.

Neither can Congress.

In an extraordinary coincidence, Mr. Cohen’s plea in New York City came within minutes of a jury in a federal courthouse in Alexandria announcing the conviction of Paul Manafort, Mr. Trump’s former campaign chairman, also on eight felony counts.

It made for a historic day, and not one Americans could take pride in.

For special counsel Robert S. Mueller III, whom Mr. Trump has been vilifying with increasing bile, it was another day of vindication. Mr. Mueller’s office prosecuted Mr. Manafort and, having uncovered Mr. Cohen’s misdeeds, had handed that matter to fellow prosecutors in New York. Mr. Mueller continues to demonstrate with quiet professionalism and steady results that his investigation is anything but the “witch hunt” of Mr. Trump’s insult-mongering.

For a president who had promised to hire only the best, the twin results represented a stunning rebuke. Throughout these prosecutions, Mr. Trump vacillated between distancing himself from Mr. Manafort (he worked for the president for only “a very short period of time”) and embracing him (he is “a very good person”). Similarly, Mr. Trump flipped from fury that Mr. Cohen’s offices were raided to claiming that he and Mr. Cohen were never all that close. …

In Mr. Manafort, he hired a campaign chairman who made millions working for people interested in undermining democracy in the former Soviet Union, then used exotic methods to bring the money to the United States. As his scheme was unraveling, he was counting delegates for Mr. Trump’s Republican National Convention balloting.

Mr. Cohen spent years in the Trump Organization apparently putting out fires Mr. Trump started. This practice resulted in an illegal 2016 campaign contribution consisting of a $130,000 payoff to Stormy Daniels, an adult-film star alleging an affair with Mr. Trump. Trump lawyer Rudolph W. Giuliani said in May this was part of “a long-standing agreement that Michael Cohen takes care of situations like this, then gets paid for them sometimes.” In fact, Mr. Cohen said in court Tuesday that he paid hush money to Ms. Daniels “at the direction of” Mr. Trump. Campaign finance experts say Mr. Trump may now be considered a co-conspirator in Mr. Cohen’s crime. Meantime, Mr. Cohen also committed bank and tax fraud relating to his New York taxi and other businesses.

These revelations of guilt come on top of those of others who spent time in Mr. Trump’s orbit, including former national security adviser Michael Flynn, who admitted in a December plea deal that he lied to the FBI about his contact with Russian officials.

Mr. Cohen and Mr. Manafort are heading to prison. Mr. Flynn has yet to be sentenced. But it is unclear whether the man they worked for, the president, will face any formal scrutiny or consequences. The Constitution largely assigns that job to Congress, and powerful Republican lawmakers have seemed more interested in covering for Mr. Trump than investigating him.

Tuesday’s events must bring that partisan abdication of public duty to an end. Congress must open investigations into Mr. Trump’s role in the crime Mr. Cohen has admitted to. It is far too soon to say where such inquiries would lead. But legislators cannot in good conscience ignore an alleged co-conspirator in the White House.

John Brennan shows how to lose to Trump in one easy step

John Brennan may not know it, but he is acting in a drama scripted and produced by Donald J. Trump.

As Eli Lake of Bloomberg perceptively observed, President Trump isn’t trying to silence Brennan by revoking his security clearance, as the former CIA director’s defenders insist, but elevate him as a foil.

Trump couldn’t hope for a better poster boy for the so-called deep state than a former CIA director who immediately began to sound like a commentator for MSNBC upon leaving government — and, indeed, signed up as a commentator for MSNBC. It has been the usual practice of former top intelligence professionals to keep their political opinions, and especially their wild-eyed rants, to themselves. They understand that, having been entrusted with some of the most sensitive powers of the United States government, they should show forbearance and restraint lest they undermine the reputations of their institutions. Brennan has had no such compunction. Granted, he’s acted under provocation. Trump has goaded him on Twitter and launched extraordinary broadsides against the work of U.S. intelligence agencies. Trump often sounds like the guy popping off down at the end of the bar; he’s transformed Brennan, who is supposed to be the consummate career intelligence official, into the guy down at the other end of the bar. Advantage: Trump. The president always benefits from the fact that his brand depends on violating norms, whereas if his opponents are baited into violating norms

in return, they diminish themselves and their cause.

So it is that a former CIA director is combating a president who maintains the top echelons of the intelligence establishment Rich Lowry hated him by demonstrating his hatred for him. Once Brennan made the decision to begin letting loose, he inevitably got sucked into the vortex of the #Resistance -- that’s where the Twitter followers, the cable hits and the adulation of half the political spectrum are.

This element of our politics rewards the most sweeping and thoughtless condemnations of Trump, which Brennan readily provides, despite recently occupying a post that depended on discrimination and care in expression and thought. In a notorious tweet, he accused the president of “nothing short of treason” for his craven performance at a joint press conference with Vladimir Putin in Helsinki.

This was the first time on record that a prominent elected official ever committed treason — which usually involves giving away the nation’s secrets or compromising intelligence assets — at a public event extensively covered by the international media.

What did Brennan mean by his charge?

He apparently doesn’t know. Pressed by Rachel Maddow of MSNBC, Brennan ex-

plained, incoherently, that “I said it was nothing short of treasonous. I didn’t mean that he committed treason.” Oh. Asked point-blank if he thinks that the president is serving the Russian government, he said that “I scratch my head a lot,” not the usual standard for alleging that someone committed a capital offense. Brennan’s conceit is that there aren’t enough people already saying stupid and inflammatory things on Twitter and TV — the nation needs his voice, too.

This has made him the ideal target for Trump, since even some of the former intelligence officials who oppose the revocation of his security clearance are uncomfortable with how he has conducted himself.

The president’s adversaries may consider this unfair, but the institutions Trump targets are best-served by not responding in kind. If the president says that the press can’t be trusted because it’s so biased, the press should react by being less biased rather than more. If he says that he’s being undone by a deep state conspiracy, former intelligence officials should more restrained rather than less.

Brennan either doesn’t understand this dynamic or doesn’t care. He has threatened a lawsuit, and Trump has welcomed one.

The president is happy for a war with the most unhinged representative of the intelligence community at hand, and John O. Brennan is playing his role flawlessly.

Where will federal prosecutors turn next?

By TOM HAYS and LARRY NEUMEISTER Associated Press

NEW YORK — The guilty plea of President Donald Trump’s former lawyer, Michael Cohen, may not mean it’s “case closed” for federal prosecutors in Manhattan.

Those prosecutors scrambled to get a plea deal done to avoid appearances that news of it could influence the midterm elections. And they were mum Wednesday about what might come next.

But court papers filed this week point to several avenues of further investigation for a U.S. Attorney’s office known for its appetite for high-profile public corruption cases — with the Trump Organization, National Enquirer parent company American Media Inc. and perhaps even Trump himself as potential targets.

“It’s hard for me to think that they’re done,” said Glen Kopp, a former Manhattan federal prosecutor now in private practice. “If they smell something, they’re like a dog with a bone. They’re going to keep going.”

Court papers filed with Cohen’s plea to eight counts including tax evasion and

campaign-finance violations cited involvement of unnamed corporate executives in schemes to pay two women to keep quiet about claims they had affairs with Trump.

The papers didn’t name the executives or their companies, though it was clear they were referring to the Trump Organization and AMI. In one instance, AMI conspired with Cohen to pay $150,000 to former Playboy Playmate Karen McDougal, the papers said. Cohen paid another $130,000 to porn star Stormy Daniels using a sham home equity loan before he was reimbursed through the Trump Organization using false invoices, the papers add.

Cohen, in his plea, said that it was all done with the knowledge and at the direction of a “candidate for federal office” — obviously meaning Trump. But whether Trump or anyone else involved with those transactions broke the law remains an open question.

Prosecutors made it clear that Cohen was not acting alone in the payouts to McDougal and Daniels, saying Cohen teamed up with AMI’s chairman and chief executive and one or more members of Trump’s campaign in August 2015 — two months after Trump announced his candidacy —

to help fend off negatives stories about Trump’s relationships with women.

According to court papers, Cohen in January 2017 sought reimbursement for the $130,000 payment to Daniels and another $50,000 spent on “tech services” from the Trump Organization. Prosecutors wrote that executives of the company “‘grossed up’ for tax purposes” his $180,000 request by doubling it to $360,000 before tacking on a $60,000 bonus.

The company then arranged to pay Cohen the $420,000 in monthly installments of $35,000 throughout 2017 as if he was on a retainer for legal expenses, which is how the Trump Organization accounted for them, prosecutors said.

“In truth and in fact, there was no such retainer agreement, and the monthly invoices Cohen submitted were not in connection with any legal services he had provided in 2017,” they said.

Part of what makes it too early to tell where the New York probe goes prior to Cohen’s scheduled December sentencing is the volume of evidence prosecutors received from the Cohen raids. In recent weeks, they’ve gotten over 4 million items seized from Cohen in April raids, some of it cited in the charges brought this week.

Nation New York state subpoenas Cohen

By DAVID KLEPPER Associated Press

ALBANY, N.Y. — Investigators in New York state have issued a subpoena to Michael Cohen as part of their probe into the Trump Foundation, an official with Democratic Gov. Andrew Cuomo’s administration confirmed to The Associated Press Wednesday.

The subpoena was issued after Cohen’s attorney said his client has information of interest to both state and federal prosecutors. As Trump’s longtime lawyer and self-described “fixer,” Cohen could potentially be a significant source of information for state investigators looking into whether Trump or his charity broke state law or lied about their tax liability.

“We can confirm that a subpoena has been issued to Michael Cohen for relevant information in light of the public disclosures made yesterday,” said James Gazzale, a spokesman for the state’s tax department.

If evidence of alleged crimes is found, the matter could be referred to state Attorney General Barbara Underwood, who could pursue criminal charges and seek the release of Trump’s tax returns. Anyone charged with a state crime in relation to the in-

vestigation could not be cleared by a presidential pardon.

Cohen pleaded guilty in Manhattan federal court Tuesday to campaign-finance violations and other charges, saying he and Trump arranged the payment of hush money to porn star Stormy Daniels and a former Playboy model to influence the election.

“I do believe that he has information about Mr. Trump that would be of interest both in Washington as well as New York state,” Cohen’s attorney Lanny Davis said Tuesday night on CNN’s “Cuomo Prime Time,” a show hosted by Chris Cuomo, brother of New York’s governor.

The state’s investigation follows Underwood’s lawsuit alleging Trump illegally tapped his Trump Foundation to settle legal disputes, help his campaign for president and pay for personal and business expenses, which included spending $10,000 on a 6-foot (1.8-meter) portrait of himself.

The attorney general’s office is seeking $2.8 million in restitution and other unspecified penalties in its civil suit. It said that it had referred to its findings to the IRS and the Federal Election Commission for possible further action.

RALEIGH, N.C. — Three Confederate monuments will remain on the North Carolina Capitol grounds, but with newly added context about slavery and civil rights. That’s the decision from a state historical panel, two days after protesters tore down another rebel statue at the state’s flagship university.

The state Historical Commission was responding Wednesday to Democratic Gov. Roy Cooper’s request nearly a year ago to move the monuments to a nearby battlefield.

The commission voted 10-1 to reinterpret the three monuments with adjacent signs about “the consequences of slavery” and the “subsequent oppressive subjugation of African American people.” It urged construction of a memorial to black citizens, which has been discussed for years, as soon as possible. The group of academics, amateur historians and preservationists also acknowledged that the monuments erected decades after the Civil War near the old 1840 Capitol are imbalanced toward the Civil War and the Confederacy.

Cooper responded with a statement decrying a 2015 law

passed by the GOP-controlled state legislature that sharply restricts where state and local government officials can relocate such memorials and all but bars their permanent removal.

He also said the toppling of the Confederate statue known as “Silent Sam” on Monday night at the University of North Carolina was an example of what happens when people feel their leaders won’t act on their concerns.

“The actions that toppled Silent Sam bear witness to the strong feelings many North Carolinians have about Confederate monuments. I don’t agree with or condone the way that monument came down, but protesters concluded that their leaders would not - could not—act on the frustration and pain it caused,” Cooper said.

Commission member Samuel Dixon, part of a fivemember committee that made the recommendations, said that the 2015 law limited what the commission could do.

“I believe the monuments need to tell the truth and based upon the law that we have today I do not think we can move them,” said Dixon, an Edenton lawyer. “But I think we can … tell a better story and tell a full and inclusive story.” Dixon voted with the majority.

A spokeswoman for Underwood declined to discuss the state’s new subpoena and noted that Cuomo’s administration would need to refer the tax department investigation to it before criminal charges could be pursued.

“We cannot comment on potential or ongoing investigations,” said spokeswoman Amy Spitalnick. “As our lawsuit against the Trump Foundation illustrates, we will hold Donald Trump and his associates accountable for violations of state law, and will seek a criminal referral from the appropriate state agency as necessary.”

Messages left with attorneys for Cohen and Trump were not immediately returned Wednesday.

Cuomo is seeking a third term this November and faces liberal activist and former “Sex and the City” star Cynthia Nixon in next month’s Democratic primary. He and Trump have exchanged insults several times in recent weeks, particularly following Trump’s criticism of Cuomo for telling a Manhattan crowd that America “was never that great” last week. Cuomo later said his comment was “inartful.”

and Bennett College professor Valerie Johnson, who is black, said removal would be appropriate because of the monuments’ links to the Jim Crow era.

“The monuments represent the commitment of North Carolina to uphold the Confederacy. These monuments are a continual visual presence of the ideology of white supremacy,” said Johnson, who voted against portions of the commission resolution. “Removal is not erasure. It is creating a space that reflects all North Carolinians and their contributions to our state.”

The commission’s vote came about 36 hours after the “Silent Sam” statue was top-

pled on UNC’s Chapel Hill campus. The bronze figure of an anonymous soldier was pulled down from its stone pedestal by protesters who used banners to mask their action.

The statue had been under constant, costly police surveillance after being vandalized in recent months. Many students, faculty and alumni argued that “Silent Sam” symbolized racism and asked officials to take it down.

Republican legislative leaders praised the committee’s recommendations and its civil discourse in contrast to what Senate leader Phil Berger called “mob rule” in Chapel Hill.

Attempt to break into DNC voter data thwarted

By BILL BARROW and COLLEEN LONG Associated Press

CHICAGO — An attempt to break into the Democratic National Committee’s massive voter database has been thwarted, a party official said Wednesday, two years after Russian operatives sent the party into disarray by hacking into its computers and facilitating the release of tens of thousands of emails amid the presidential election.

A web security firm using artificial intelligence uncovered the attempt. The DNC was notified Tuesday, it said. Hackers had created a fake login page to gather usernames and passwords in an effort to gain access to the Democratic Party’s voter file, a party official said. The file contains information on tens of millions of voters. The attempt was quickly thwarted by suspending the attacker’s account, and no information was compromised, the official said.

The FBI was notified.

The official wasn’t authorized to speak about sensitive security information and spoke to The Associated Press on condition of anonymity.

Government and tech officials say it’s too early to know who was behind the attempt.

The FBI declined to comment to the AP. The attempt comes as Democrats gather for their summer meeting. The party’s cybersecurity has been an issue since the 2016 presidential election, when Russian hackers compromised DNC servers and publicly revealed internal communications that exploited divisions between Bernie Sanders’ and Hillary Clinton’s campaigns as the two candidates vied for the Democratic presidential nomination. Hackers also accessed the email accounts of Clinton’s campaign chairman, John Podesta, and systematically released the contents throughout the fall campaign.

It also comes a day after Microsoft announced it had uncovered similarly fraudulent websites created by Kremlin agents that spoofed two conservative outfits that are foes of Russia’s president, Vladimir Putin, presumably to trick unwitting visitors into surrendering credentials.

Bob Lord, the DNC’s chief security officer, said the attempt showed how serious the cyberthreat is and why it’s critical that state and federal officials work together on security.

“This attempt is further proof that there are constant threats as we head into midterm elections

and we must remain vigilant in order to prevent future attacks,” Lord said in a statement.

He said President Donald Trump isn’t doing enough to protect American democracy.

Previously, Trump mocked the DNC’s cybersecurity and cast doubt on U.S. intelligence officials’ findings that Russia was involved.

At a previously scheduled election security briefing Wednesday, Homeland Security Secretary Kirstjen Nielsen said the quick response to the attempted DNC hack showed that the system was working “and that different entities un-

derstand who to reach out to,” she said.

“Any attack on a political party or a campaign is important for us all to take seriously,” she said, emphasizing the government was doing all it could to help protect election systems ahead of the midterm elections.

At stake is control of Congress, which could potentially switch from Republican to Democrat.

Amid the news, a Senate committee abruptly postponed a Wednesday vote on legislation to help states prevent against election hacking, frustrating Democrats and at least one Republican on the panel.

PHOENIX — An Arizona man who sold ammunition to the gunman in the deadliest mass shooting in modern U.S. history has been charged in Nevada with engaging in the business of making ammunition without a license.

The indictment filed Wednesday against Douglas Haig doesn’t mention his sales to Stephen Paddock, who killed 58 people at a Las Vegas music festival last October. The charge makes no mention of the Las Vegas attack.

In a separate case in Arizona, Haig is charged with manufacturing armor-piercing bullets.

Investigators said in the Arizona case that unfired armorpiercing bullets found in the Las Vegas hotel where Paddock launched the attack had Haig’s fingerprints.

Haig’s attorneys in Arizona and Nevada didn’t immediately respond to telephone and email messages seeking comment.

Police probe stun gun use on man who had been holding child WESTLAND, Mich. — A suburban Detroit police department is investigating the arrest of a combative father who may have still been holding his 2-month-old son when an officer shot him with a stun gun.

Westland police said in a statement Monday that the man grabbed his son after the officers told him they were arresting him for assault, property damage and outstanding warrants.

The man’s girlfriend and boy’s mother, Nichole Skidmore, told WXYZ-TV that her boyfriend was still holding their son when the officer fired the stun gun. But police say Skidmore was holding the child before the father was stunned.

In a video of the arrest posted on Facebook by neighbor Kelvin Williams, it isn’t clear if the man was still holding the boy.

Williams says the officers arrived at the home during a Friday night barbecue and asked who was fighting. He says the officers were told they had the wrong house and that the child’s father became agitated while talking to them.

Georgia school superintendent placed on leave BUFORD, Ga. (AP) — A Georgia schools superintendent accused of using racist language in two recorded conversations and of discriminating against a black employee has been placed on administrative leave.

The Atlanta Journal-Constitution reports the Buford School System placed Superintendent Geye (pronounced GUY) Hamby on leave effective Tuesday.

News outlets reported Tuesday that the race-discrimination lawsuit says Hamby repeatedly used slurs to refer to black workers at a construction site, saying he wanted to kill them. The plaintiff, 66-year-old Mary Ingram, worked for the district for nearly two decades before she was fired in 2017. She says she was discriminated against for speaking up for the black community at school board meetings.

Hamby declined to comment on the advice of district counsel. School board attorney Walt Britt says the recordings’ authenticity hasn’t been determined. ­­— The Associated Press

Today in History Today is Thursday, Aug. 23, the 235th day of 2018. There are 130 days left in the year.

Today’s Highlight in History: On August 23, 1775, Britain’s King George III proclaimed the American colonies to be in a state of “open and avowed rebellion.”

On this date: In 1754, France’s King Louis XVI was born at Versailles (vehr-SY’).

In 1785, U.S. naval hero Oliver Hazard Perry was born in South Kingstown, R.I. In 1912, actor, dancer, director and choreographer Gene Kelly was born Eugene Curran Kelly in Pittsburgh.

In 1913, Copenhagen’s Little Mermaid statue, inspired by the Hans Christian Andersen story, was unveiled in the harbor of the Danish capital.

In 1914, Japan declared war against Germany in World War I. In 1927, amid worldwide protests, Italian-born anarchists Nicola Sacco and Bartolomeo Vanzetti were executed in Boston for the murders of two men during a 1920 robbery. (On the 50th anniversary of their executions, then-Massachusetts Gov. Michael Dukakis issued a proclamation that Sacco and Vanzetti had been unfairly tried and convicted.)

In 1939, Nazi Germany and the Soviet Union agreed to a non-aggression treaty, the Molotov-Ribbentrop Pact, in Moscow.

In 1960, Broadway librettist Oscar Hammerstein (HAM’-ur-STYN’) II, 65, died in Doylestown, Pennsylvania.

In 1973, a bank robbery-turned-hostage-taking began in Stockholm, Sweden; the four hostages ended up empathizing with their captors, a psychological condition now referred to as “Stockholm Syndrome.”

In 1982, Lebanon’s parliament elected Christian militia leader Bashir Gemayel president. (However, Gemayel was assassinated some three weeks later.)

In 1989, in a case that inflamed racial tensions in New York, Yusuf Hawkins, a 16-year-old black youth, was shot dead after he and his friends were confronted by a group of white youths in the Bensonhurst section of Brooklyn.

(Gunman Joey Fama was convicted of second-degree murder and sentenced to life in prison; he will be eligible for parole in 2022.)

In 2000, an estimated 51 million viewers tuned in for the finale of the first season of the CBS reality show “Survivor,” in which contestant Richard Hatch won the $1 million prize.

Ten years ago: Democratic presidential candidate Barack Obama introduced his choice of running mate, Sen. Joe Biden of Delaware, before a crowd outside the Old State Capitol in Springfield, Ill. Two foreign journalists, Canadian Amanda Lindhout and Australian Nigel Brennan, were kidnapped near Mogadishu, Somalia; both were freed after 15 months in captivity. At the Beijing Olympics, the United States won gold in the women’s and men’s 1,600-meter relay track events. The U.S. women’s basketball team beat Australia 92-65 to win a fourth straight gold medal. Angel Matos of Cuba and his coach were banned for life after the taekwondo athlete kicked the referee in the face following his bronze-medal match disqualification.

Five years ago: A military jury convicted Maj. Nidal Hasan in the deadly 2009 shooting rampage at Fort Hood, Texas, that claimed 13 lives; the Army psychiatrist was later sentenced to death. Staff Sgt. Robert Bales, the U.S. soldier who’d massacred 16 Afghan civilians, was sentenced at Joint Base LewisMcChord, Washington, to life in prison with no chance of parole. San Diego Mayor Bob Filner, a Democrat, agreed to resign in return for the city’s help defending him against claims he’d groped, kissed and made lewd comments to women. (Filner later pleaded guilty to a felony for manhandling a woman at a fundraising event and two misdemeanor battery charges; he served three months of house arrest.)

One year ago: City workers in Charlottesville, Virginia, draped giant black covers over two statues of Confederate generals to symbolize the city’s mourning for a woman killed while protesting a white nationalist rally. A federal judge again blocked a set of voter ID requirements in Texas, rejecting a weakened version that had been backed by the Trump administration. (An appeals court later allowed the law to stay in effect; it allows voters without any acceptable photo ID to cast a ballot as long as they sign an affidavit.)

Today’s Birthdays: Actress Vera Miles is 88. Actress Barbara Eden is 87. Political satirist Mark Russell is 86. Pro Football Hall of Famer Sonny Jurgensen is 84. Actor Richard Sanders is 78. Ballet dancer Patricia McBride is 76. Former Surgeon General Antonia Novello is 74. Pro Football Hall of Famer Rayfield Wright is 73. Country singer Rex Allen Jr. is 71. Actor David Robb is 71.

Thought for Today: “I know the world is filled with troubles and many injustices. But reality is as beautiful as it is ugly. I think it is just as important to sing about beautiful mornings as it is to talk about slums. I just couldn’t write anything without hope in it.” -- Oscar Hammerstein II (1895-1960).

Ohio State sits Meyer 3 games after investigation

By MITCH STACY AP Sports Writer

COLUMBUS, Ohio — Ohio State suspended coach Urban Meyer for three games on Wednesday night for mishandling repeated professional and behavioral problems of an assistant coach, with investigators finding Meyer protected his protege for years through domestic violence allegations, a drug problem and poor job performance.

The superstar coach’s treatment of his now-fired assistant was also clouded by his abiding devotion to the legacy of former Ohio State coach Earle Bruce, the grandfather of former wide receivers coach Zach Smith and an early coaching mentor for Meyer.

“I gave Zach Smith the benefit of the doubt,” Meyer said.

The investigation turned up “a pattern of troubling behavior by Zach Smith: promiscuous and embarrassing sexual behavior, drug abuse, truancy, dishonesty, financial irresponsibility, a possible NCAA violation, and a lengthy police investigation into allegations of criminal domestic violence and cybercrimes,” according to summary investigative findings released by the university on Wednesday night.

Meyer knew about at least some of the issues.

The report and punishment culminated a two-week investigation of how Meyer reacted to allegations that Smith abused his ex-wife, Courtney Smith. Zach Smith was fired last month after she asked a judge for a protective order.

Courtney Smith alleged her husband shoved her against a wall and

put his hands around her neck in 2015.

Zach Smith has never been criminally charged with domestic violence. The university put Meyer on paid leave and began investigating after Courtney Smith spoke out publicly, sharing text messages and photos she traded in 2015 with Meyer’s wife, Shelley Meyer. Shelley Meyer is a registered nurse and instructor at Ohio State.

“I followed my heart and not my head,” Meyer said, quickly reading a written statement during a news conference after his punishment was announced. “I should have demanded more from him and recognized red flags.”

Investigators said Meyer and athletic director Gene Smith mismanaged Zach Smith’s misconduct and kept him even though he was not an appropriate role model for OSU student-athletes.

The review found neither Meyer nor Gene Smith condoned or covered up alleged abuse, but raised red flags of their own: — Meyer, the athletic director and others throughout Ohio State thought it wasn’t their place to do anything about allegations against Zach Smith unless law enforcement took more action like making an arrest or filing charges. Investigators called that a widespread misunderstanding of their reporting obligations.

— Meyer responded to Courtney Smith coming forward to a reporter by asking one of his staffers about changing the settings on his phone to delete text messages more than a year old.

Investigators didn’t find older messages on Meyer’s phone but couldn’t determine whether he deleted them before or after the media report.

— Meyer and his wife, Shelley, doubted the veracity of Courtney Smith’s allegations of violence and abuse. Urban Meyer called the Smith situation a “he said she said” last month in a text with a former player.

He also insisted to investigators he met with Courtney Smith after Zach Smith’s 2009 arrest and that she recanted her original story to authorities.

Courtney Smith told investigators she never met with Meyer or recanted any allegations.

— In June 2016 at Meyer’s urging, Zach Smith was admitted to a drug treatment facility for addiction to an unspecified stimulant prescription drug, the report said, adding that Gene Smith was never told about it.

— Zach Smith ran up a big strip club bill in 2014 with a high school See MEYER, page A-8

Ex-Vikings finding fit with Seahawks

By CURTIS CRABTREE Associated Press

RENTON, Wash. — As the Seahawks try to keep their defense playing at its traditionally high level despite the absence of five former Pro Bowl selections, a pair of veteran additions from Minnesota along the defensive line could help steady the ship.

Seattle added former Vikings defensive tackles Tom Johnson and Shamar Stephen as veteran pieces along the defensive front on consecutive days in March. While Johnson and Stephen don’t directly replace Cliff Avril, Michael Bennett, Richard Sherman or Kam Chancellor, they are experienced veterans that played on a Vikings defense that was among the league’s best last season. Johnson and Stephen get a chance to return to Minnesota to face their former team in Seattle’s third preseason game Friday night.

“This was the place that kind of wanted both of us,” Johnson said.

“I ended up telling him I was going to come here and shortly after he made the decision to come out. It was a great deal.”

Johnson — one of the few players still in the NFL to have played in NFL Europe — brings the ability to rush the passer from the interior. He posted a career-high 6.5 sacks with Minnesota in 2014 before netting just two in each of the last two seasons.

“I wish we found him six or seven years ago,” coach Pete Carroll said of Johnson. “He’s one of our guys. He’s got the chip on his shoulder and he shows it day in and day out by the way he approaches his work. ... He’s fantastic and we love the fact that he’s in that room (and) got a lot of young guys with him. He’s got a fantastic influence on those guys.”

Stephen is more of a spaceeating force that the Seahawks hope can help get the team’s run defense back on track after it had some uncharacteristic struggles last season. After three straight seasons in the top five against the run, the Seahawks fell to 19th last year, al-

lowing an average of 114 yards per game on the ground.

“Shamar is big, thick, studly, big strong hands getting off blocks and filling up the line of scrimmage, and he’s a really good pursuit guy,” Carroll said.

Defensive tackle Jarran Reed was perturbed early in camp by all the focus on the players who weren’t with the team: Avril, Bennett, Sherman, Chancellor and Earl Thomas, whose holdout continues nearly a month into camp.

“Too many people are worried about them being gone,” Reed said. “We got the team here right now that’s going to go out there and battle with us on Sundays. I’m honestly tired of hearing it. We got guys right here and they can do the same thing and I just want everybody to believe in us.”

Added Johnson: “We got a mix of guys that’s athletic enough and strong enough and smart enough to be the top defensive linemen in the league so that’s one of our goals to strive for right now.”

Colts radio man retired for racial slurs

Cards bust up Dodgers for sweep

INDIANAPOLIS (AP) — An off-the-air racial slur prompted the immediate retirement of longtime Indianapolis Colts radio voice Bob Lamey last weekend, team officials and Lamey’s attorney confirmed Wednesday.

Local attorney James Voyles issued a statement acknowledging the 80-year-old Lamey used “inappropriate” language during a conversation with a friend at a local radio station and apologized immediately.

“Bob does want to acknowledge that while repeating a story while off-the-air last week to a friend at a local radio station, he used an inappropriate word that had been used in the story,” Voyles’ statement read. “Bob immediately apologized to the people involved for the comment and would hope that this error in judgment would not tarnish his long-held reputation in the sports community where he has been known as an accurate and passionate reporter.”

Red hot St. Louis homers off Jansen late to topple Los Angeles

By The Associated Press

LOS ANGELES — Paul DeJong hit a go-ahead, two-run homer off Kenley Jansen in the ninth inning, lifting the St. Louis Cardinals to a 3-1 victory and a three-game sweep of the Los Angeles Dodgers on Wednesday night.

The Cardinals’ eighth straight road win helped them improve to 17-4 this month, the most wins in the majors.

They’ve homered in 15 straight games, one off the current season mark of 16 in a row by Philadelphia.

St. Louis remained 2½ games behind the NL Central-leading Cubs.

For Jansen, it was a familiar ending.

The All-Star closer, who became a father for the third time earlier in the day, gave up consecutive homers to Jedd Gyorko and Matt Carpenter in the series opener Monday. That was Jansen’s first game back after missing time because of an irregular heartbeat.

This time, Gyorko singled off Jansen (0-5) and DeJong followed with a drive to left-center to give the Cardinals their first lead.

Jordan Hicks struck out Cody Bellinger, Brian Dozier and Chris Taylor to earn his fifth save.

Dakota Hudson (4-0) got the win with one inning of relief.

Los Angeles loaded the bases in the eighth, but Manny Machado grounded out to end the inning.

Pinch-hitter Tyler O’Neill homered in the top of the eighth off reliever Scott Alexander, tying it 1-all.

Jack Flaherty and Walker Buehler dueled in a stellar matchup of rookie pitchers, although neither figured in the decision.

NATIONALS 8, PHILLIES 7 WASHINGTON (AP) — Ryan Zimmerman hit a two-run home run with two outs in the bottom of the ninth inning to lift the Washington over Philadelphia.

Juan Soto’s two-double against Seranthony Dominguez (1-4) set up Zimmerman. His drive landed just above the right-field wall and required review before the umpire crew acknowledged the homer. Zimmerman has 11

walk-off home runs for his career.

Maikel Franco, Justin Bour and Cesar Hernandez homered for the Phillies, who led 7-5 in the seventh. Philadelphia, which has lost nine of 13, fell three games behind NL East-leading Atlanta.

Stephen Strasburg allowed five runs and seven hits over four innings for Washington in his first start since being placed on the 10day disabled list on July 26 with a cervical nerve impingement.

RED SOX 10, INDIANS 4 BOSTON (AP) — Xander Bogaerts hit two solo homers, Andrew Benintendi had a three-run double to cap a big fourth inning and Boston beat Cleveland to halt a threegame losing streak.

Mitch Moreland added a two-run homer for the Red Sox, who lost the previous two nights in a matchup of AL division leaders.

East-leading Boston, which owns the majors’ best record, is the only MLB team without a four-game losing streak this season.

Edwin Encarnacion hit a pair of two-run homers in his first game off the disabled list for Central-leading Cleveland.

Cowboys’ Frederick diagnosed with rare neurological disorder

By SCHUYLER DIXON AP Pro Football Writer

ARLINGTON, Texas — Dallas Cowboys center Travis Frederick said Wednesday he has been diagnosed with a rare neurological disorder that causes weakness in various parts of the body, and the four-time Pro Bowl player isn’t sure on a timetable for a return.

Frederick said he has received two treatments for Guillain-Barre Syndrome over the past 48 hours and that the treatments will continue for several days.

“I am very optimistic about my condition and the immediate future, as I have been told that the illness was detected at a fairly early stage,” Frederick said. “My doctors have told me that it is not possible to determine a timetable for a return to the field right now, but I am hopeful that I will be

able to play as soon as possible.”

The 27-year-old Frederick has started all 83 games, including three playoff games, since the Cowboys drafted him late in the first round in 2013. That streak is likely in jeopardy with the opener 2 1/2 weeks away, Sept. 9 at Carolina.

According to the National Institute for Neurological Disorders and Stroke , Guillain-Barre causes the body to attack a network of nerves around the brain and spinal cord. Most people recover from even the most severe cases of the auto-immune disease, but some will continue to have some degree of weakness, according to the institute.

Frederick saw a specialist in California while the Cowboys were still in training camp there because of feelings he said were similar to stingers in his neck and shoulders. When he returned to camp, he told reporters he checked out OK. He was on the side-

line for the preseason game against Cincinnati on Saturday.

Coach Jason Garrett said Tuesday tests for Frederick continued with doctors in the Dallas area. Garrett declined to be more specific.

Joe Looney has been working at center in Frederick’s absence, but the Cowboys have always considered 2014 All-Pro right guard Zack Martin a possibility there. Martin will miss the rest of the preseason after hyperextending his left knee against the Bengals.

Frederick was the second of three first-round picks in a span of four years, a group that anchors what is considered one of the NFL’s best offensive lines. Left tackle Tyron Smith, the 2011 choice, has battled back issues in recent years. Frederick, Smith and 2014 pick Martin have all been named to the Pro Bowl each of the past four seasons.

Dallas is banking on a healthy offensive line in front of 2016 NFL rushing leader Ezekiel Elliott, with the Cowboys hopeful that quarterback Dak Prescott and a largely unproven group of receivers can feed off a powerful running game.

Two years ago, Frederick signed a $56 million, six-year extension that at the time made him the highest-paid center in the NFL. He’s now fourth on that list.

Pats waive WR Britt FOXBOROUGH, Mass. (AP) — New England waived Kenny Britt on Wednesday, ending the wide receiver’s underwhelming stay with the Patriots.

Despite losing Danny Amendola in free agency and knowing Julian Edelman will be suspended for the first four games of the regular season, the Patriots let go of the 29-year-old Britt, who was with his fourth team.

New England also had released Jordan Matthews and Malcolm Mitchell from its receiving corps.

Britt caught two passes in three games for New England after joining it last December. He did not dress for any of the postseason games, including the team’s 41-33 loss to the Philadelphia Eagles in Super Bowl LII. The 30th overall draft pick in 2009 hurt his hamstring in June during minicamp and barely was a presence in training camp for New England this summer.

Britt’s inability to stay on the field this offseason limited his training time with 41-year-old quarterback Tom Brady during camp.

“It’s just different stages at different times whether it’s Kenny or other players,” Brady said Wednesday prior to Britt’s release. “You have set-backs with injuries and so forth and you See NFL, page A-8

games for New England after joining it last December.

He did not dress for any of the postseason games, including the team’s 41-33 loss to the Philadelphia Eagles in Super Bowl LII. The 30th overall draft pick in 2009 hurt his hamstring in June during minicamp and barely was a presence in training camp for New England this summer.

Britt’s inability to stay on the field this offseason limited his training time with 41-yearold quarterback Tom Brady during camp.

“It’s just different stages at different times whether it’s Kenny or other players,” Brady said Wednesday prior to Britt’s release. “You have set-backs with injuries and so forth and you don’t get the work but when you are out there you just try to get up to speed as best you can, so spending extra time when you’re available, I think that’s important.”

Brady said his scheduled permitted him from working with Britt during the offseason.

Britt spent the first five of his nine pro seasons with the Titans,

then played with the Rams for three years, and both the Browns and Patriots last season.

The former Rutgers standout has eclipsed 1,000 receiving yards in a season once in his career, totaling 1,002 with the Rams in 2016.

New England has 10 receivers remaining on its active following Britt’s departure, two of them are newly-acquired veterans Cordarrelle Patterson and Eric Decker.

Saints, Chargers good with join practices COSTA MESA, Calif. (AP) — The New Orleans Saints took a four-hour flight into Southern California late Tuesday night, and they hit the Los Angeles Chargers’ training camp fields early Wednesday.

Instead of being bothered by the tough turnaround, the Saints used the circumstances to sharpen their focus for the upcoming season.

The Saints and Chargers are practicing together at Jack Hammett Sports Complex for the second consecutive year, breaking up the late stages of the preseason with two days of joint workouts ahead of their preseason game Saturday night in Carson.

“It’s a game situation for three

coach in Florida and spent $600 in personal funds. Meyer reprimanded Zach Smith but didn’t report the issue to compliance officers or the athletic director. Investigators said they told the NCAA about the incident.

Trustees discussed how to punish Meyer in a marathon meeting of more than 12 hours Wednesday while Meyer waited in the building. Athletic director Gene Smith — who is not related to Zach or Courtney Smith — was suspended without pay from Aug. 31 through Sept. 16.

Both the athletic director and Meyer apologized and said they accepted the punishments, though Meyer said repeatedly that he did not fully know what was happening with the Smiths.

“I should have been aware of it,” Meyer said.

Meyer said he was not aware of the text messages Courtney Smith sent to his wife.

or four days,” said Saints linebacker Manti Te’o, the former Chargers player. “Everything is better when you’re going against somebody. The competition level rises. We have three mini-games, and then we have the real game.

I was really pleased with the energy we had, and it’s nice to go against a team that has similar energy.”

Both head coaches pronounced themselves pleased by their players’ efforts in the practice. The teams also managed to avoid any fights, staying away from a common occurrence in joint practices.

There were a few close shaves, such as Chargers passrush specialist Melvin Ingram’s strip-sack of Drew Brees. Ingram later apologized for getting so close to Brees, who wasn’t bothered.

“Stuff is happening fast out there,” Brees said with a shrug.

“At times, some people are going to bump into you.”

Chargers receiver Mike Williams was particularly sharp in the workouts, making another series of tough catches in his impressive start to the season.

Williams missed training camp as a rookie last year due to injury, but he looked impressive against the Saints’ defensive backs.

“He’s out here every day

When asked if he had a message for Courtney Smith, Meyer said: “I have a message for everyone involved in this: I’m sorry we’re in this situation.”

Meyer, 54, will miss Ohio State’s first three games against Oregon State, Rutgers and No. 16 TCU, though he will be allowed to coach practices leading into the Rutgers and TCU games. Co-offensive coordinator and quarterbacks coach Ryan Day is serving as acting coach while Meyer is absent.

Meyer insisted as the investigation began he followed proper protocols after learning of the 2015 accusations. But he also acknowledged lying to reporters a week earlier when he said he hadn’t heard of the incident until shortly before he fired Zach Smith.

Investigators found that Meyer was determined to not disclose Zach Smith’s issues to the media and went too far in his denials.

Zach Smith’s attorney Brad Koffel said in a statement to USA Today that Meyer, Ohio State and Gene Smith were “collateral damage” for Courtney Smith’s desire to seek revenge her ex-husband.

and you just see him working and pushing through,” Chargers quarterback Philip Rivers said. “I’m sure he’s tired and sore like all of those guys are.

He’s working through that, and every day you see him make a play. It’s exciting.”

New Orleans coach Sean Payton brought his team out West for the second straight year because the benefits of joint practices are particularly helpful to the Saints, who are looking to build on last season’s 11-5 finish and playoff berth.

The Chargers barely missed the playoffs at 9-7, but are popular picks to be an AFC contender after returning almost every key player from a team that won nine of its last 12 games.

“One big thing is it changes the routine,” Payton said.

“And I think that’s good in our league, because we’re constantly changing. But also you’re working against a different defense than your own, and I don’t mean just a different defense, but how they play defense. The coverage schemes are different. What they do offensively, specifically with the running game. When you do that, especially for two or three days like we are, you have a chance to see some of the weaknesses or holes in certain areas that we have not seen at home.”

“Zach Smith married a woman he should not have married,” Koffel said.

Mary Jo White, a former federal prosecutor, led the investigation that cost the university $500,000. She said more than 40 witnesses were interviewed, some several times, and more than 60,000 electronic documents were reviewed. Investigators reviewed 10,000 text messages of Meyer’s and text messages and photos provided by Courtney Smith.

Meyer is heading into his seventh season at Ohio State, where he is 73-8 with a national title in 2014 and two Big Ten Conference championships.

His contract was extended in April by two years through 2022, increasing Meyer’s salary to $7.6 million in 2018 with annual 6 percent raises. Meyer has about $38 million left on his contract.

In 2009, Zach Smith was accused of aggravated battery on his pregnant wife while he was working a graduate assistant for Meyer at Florida. The charge was dropped because of insufficient evidence.

The Smiths separated in June 2015 and divorced in 2016.

Sockeye reopen on Kenai with late run

By ELIZABETH EARL Peninsula Clarion

Evening on the Kenai River these days takes the sun down earlier but brings the salmon up to the surface early.

From the boardwalk at Soldotna’s Swiftwater Park, the dark backs of salmon popped through the surface of the river every few seconds. From ten yards away, silver and pink salmon are indistinguishable, but the tug on the rod tells an angler right away which type of salmon it is.

Reds are still mixed in, too, and effective Thursday morning, anglers on the Kenai can catch them again. The fishery had been closed since Aug. 4, when the Alaska Department of Fish and Game issued an emergency order closing the sockeye salmon fishery on the Kenai except around the Russian River. Now, the closures are reversed: the Russian River and the Kenai River around the confluence closed to sockeye fishing by regulation on Monday and the Kenai reopens for the rest of the season.

As of Tuesday, 943,922 sockeye had passed the sonar on the Kenai River, with 17,005 passing the sonar on that

day. That’s well within Fish and Game’s inriver escapement goal of 900,000–1.1 million fish and within the sustainable escapement goal of 700,000–1.2 million sockeye.

Fish and Game stopped counting sockeye salmon on the Kasilof River for the season Aug. 14, but 1,227 fish passed the sonar that day and 3,651 the day before. An emergency order issued in early August doubled the bag and possession limits for sockeye on the Kasilof through the end of the season as well, with six fish per day and 12 in possession with no more being coho salmon. With 394,288 fish past the sonar, the escapement is above Fish and Game’s goal for the season.

With sockeye runs improving late in the summer, Fish and Game also opened commercial drift gillnetting in Area 1 for a 12 hour period Thursday to harvest more of the sockeye. Modeling shows that the Kenai River sockeye run is coming in about 9 days late, according to an emergency order issued Wednesday.

“This unprecedented late return of Kenai River sockeye salmon in the month of August has occurred in only one other year (2006),” the emergency order states.

Later in the season, sockeye begin to blush with their bright red and green spawning colors, especially as they spend more time in the freshwater.

Anglers are reporting a lot of pink salmon mixed in with the silver salmon in the Kenai River, with some anglers pulling in silver salmon in the 15-pound range. Rainbow trout and Dolly Varden fishing on the Kenai River also heats up in the fall as the trout begin feeding on salmon eggs in earnest. Anglers often use bead lures in an arrangement meant

to imitate eggs to catch trout.

In the freshwater streams on the lower peninsula, coho salmon reportedly slowed in the past week but rain could bring water levels up and the coho with it, according to the Lower Cook Inlet fishing report issued Tuesday. Dolly Varden fishing has also reportedly been good and steelhead should improve as the fall progresses, according to the report.

Fish people: Upriver during a record year at Bristol Bay

By Mary Catharine Martin For the Clarion

As fishermen leave Dillingham and canneries shut down, the Wood River system in the Bristol Bay watershed brims with sockeye salmon.

The second week of August, I got to spend several days upriver. Sockeye schooled at the mouths of small streams off the lake system, their fins cutting through the water. They choked ankle to knee-deep streams more narrow than the width of your dining room table.

Females dug redds in the same part of the streams they were born in, fighting off both other females and undesirable males. The bodies of those who arrived before them littered the banks, and as later fish dug redds, unearthed eggs floated downstream, snapped up by opportunistic rainbow trout and arctic char.

And just above the surface, scientists were there to study the fish as they have been each year since 1946, when the University of Washington’s Fisheries Research Institute — now known as the Alaska Salmon Program — was established at the request of several Bristol Bay canneries.

I was up at two of the camps — Lake Nerka, (“nerka,” fittingly, is the Russian name for and the second part of the scientific name for sockeye salmon) and Aleknagik (Nerka is known locally as Second Lake and Aleknagik as First Lake). Over the course of my week there, I helped take genetic samples of fish, went all the way up to Kulik Lake (Fifth Lake, the farthest lake salmon can reach in the system), and learned a lot. Every year, even those who have been coming for more than two decades learn something unexpected, said University of Washington Professor of Aquatic and Fisheries Sciences Daniel Schindler, the scientist who was nice enough to invite me along.

Regardless of how technology develops, there are things scientists see when they’re present in a watershed that would never come across if they studied, say, by drone.

A few recent surprises? The Wood River system has had some “massive caterpillar outbreaks” in recent years.

“Birds, bears, rainbow trout, grayling — all of them are just packed full of caterpillars,” said Schindler.

The caterpillars themselves are packed full of vegetation, which they “obliterate” along the system. By September, though, the alders have resprouted instead of turning bright and beginning to die off. To Schindler, that suggests there’s an environmental history of the caterpillars and their interplay on the landscape — something supported by local knowledge.

Another surprise: scientists recently began finding foot-long salmon that had clearly been to sea. They looked like sockeye but they were acting like coho, eating sockeye smolts and feeding aggressively in fresh water. After genetic testing, it turns out they were coho.

A third: There’s a plant, kneeling angelica, that appears to bloom in time with the salmon runs — earlier on colder streams, which is the opposite of what you’d expect.

I’m not a scientist, but my time there was packed with things I found interesting: the size of a stream (so narrow and shallow!) that can support salmon.

A ground squirrel crossing the stream on the backs of two sockeye. (Crossing a stream on the backs of salmon may be legends of yesteryear in many river systems, but not in Bristol Bay!) Watching a jack sockeye salmon hide a little downstream, staying in place behind a slight barrier, as a female dug a redd.

It crept in whenever a full-size male swam off, only to be chased off by both the full-size male and female or either.

after just one year at sea and are much smaller than the average salmon, engage in some unique mating strategies in order to pass their genes along.)

Another teacher was the watershed itself: as a formerly glaciated landscape, the Wood River lake system offers a great tutorial on what it is that makes optimal salmon habitat.

“One of the reasons Bristol Bay is productive for salmon is the glacial history,” Schindler told me as we boated past Ott Bay, on Lake Nerka. “Valleys are way bigger than the rivers, and there’s lots of gravel left behind.”

That allows streams to wander around, continuously eroding gravel and helping to create yet more salmon habitat. The lack of development in the watershed is also key: the widest valley in the world won’t help a river wander to create and maintain salmon habitat if infrastructure prevents it.

This year, more than 7.5 million sockeye swam up the Wood River, as per the Alaska Department of Fish and

Game’s escapement counts. An estimated more than 33.5 million returned to the Wood, Nushagak and Igushik rivers, including both catch and escapement. As a whole, though late sockeye are still being caught and counted, Bristol Bay blew past its record overall return, with more than 62 million fish as of August 2. Those numbers stand out even more compared with the dismal returns in Kodiak, the Copper River, and many others.

For the next “The Salmon State” column, keep an eye out for a story about how animals that eat salmon “surf the salmon wave” as it moves across the landscape. As you read it, even in September, sockeye will still be spawning in the creeks, rivers and lakes of Bristol Bay.

Pratt to close for renovations

By MICHAEL ARMSTRONG Homer News

The Pratt Museum will close to the public for major renovations from Sept.

5, 2018, to May 4, 2019, museum director Laurie Stuart announced in a press release on Monday.

Stuart said the museum has put on hold indefinitely plans for a new building.

“The board decided that the most prudent thing to do in the current economic climate is to make the current building more suitable for the museum’s needs for the time being,” Stuart wrote in an Aug. 13 email. “We still have plans for a new

building later down the road.”

An informational meeting to discuss details of the renovation is 6-7 p.m.

Wednesday, Aug. 22, at the museum.

Topics discussed include the scope of renovations and the winter schedule.

The renovation will include ramps and lifts to address physical accessibility throughout the building, connect the marine gallery to the special exhibits gallery, and build a new collections department for better storage and stewardship of museum artifacts, the press release said. The remodel also will include upgrades to the building’s systems.

Funding for renovations comes from the National Endowment for the Human-

ities, the State of Alaska and the Wynn Foundation.

At the July 28 Ritzy Garden Gala in celebration of the museum’s 50th anniversary, Patrons of the Pratt Society presented the Pratt Museum with an additional $120,000 for accessibility renovations.

The museum’s final public event this year is 3-6 p.m. Sept. 2 for a rummage sale in the parking lot as staff clear out 50 years worth of odds and ends from storage.

An end-of-the season party follows from 6-7:30 p.m. with the quilt drawing, a final taste of anniversary cake and a tour See PRATT, page B2

Lost Jagger-Simon duet found

By CHRIS LEHOURITES Associated Press

LONDON — A lost Mick Jagger duet with Carly Simon has been found more than 45 years after it was first recorded.

The song, apparently never heard in public, appears to have been recorded in 1972 and was found recently on a tape owned

by Rolling Stones collector Matt Lee. Believed to be named “Fragile,” at least according to Rolling Stones fan websites, the song is a slow love ballad that has Jagger and Simon seemingly sitting together at a piano and singing.

Simon spoke about the lost duet in an interview with Rolling Stone magazine about two years ago, saying the tape of the recording had been lost for decades.

“We had this little back and forth at the piano for about an hour,” Simon says in the Rolling Stone interview, published Nov. 29, 2016, according to the magazine’s website. She also

sang a line of the song from memory, “Funny, funny, funny, funny, funny, How love can make you cry.”

That matches with Lee’s recording, except Jagger and Simon appear to sing “change” instead of “cry.” Jagger does most of the singing, with Simon adding some harmonies.

When the song ends, a female voice believed to be Simon’s gasps: “Good song.”

Simon and Jagger worked together in 1972 when the Rolling Stones frontman supposedly sang backup vocals on Simon’s hit “You’re So Vain.”

For many years, it was thought that Jagger was the subject of that song, but Simon has denied that.

Lee, an entrepreneur from London, declined to say where the tape of the song came from.

But he said Wednesday that he sent a digital copy of the song to Rolling Stone magazine because they promised to give it to Simon.

“I’m not doing it for the money,” Lee said. “I’m a collector. My motive for sending it to Rolling Stone was to pass it to Carly.”

Representatives from the Rolling Stones did not immediately respond to a request for comment.

While the song will be new to most listeners, it is not completely unknown to hardcore Stones fans. But it’s not exactly easy to find, either.

A snippet of the song, with its passage of Jagger repeatedly singing, “It’s funny, funny, funny,” is briefly heard in a scene

in the publicly unreleased documentary about the 1972 Rolling Stones tour of America.

The name of the film is obscene in itself, stemming from the obscene name of an obscene song the band recorded a few years earlier to fulfill a recording contract they didn’t want to actually fulfill.

In cleaner terms, and as a hint to the name of the tour movie, that song is often referred to as “Schoolboy Blues.”

The new finding comes two years after another previously unheard Rolling Stones song was uncovered. That song, “No One Loves You More Than Me,” is believed to have been recorded in 1964 and was found in 2016. The tape of that song was reportedly sold at auction.

The Rolling Stones, who wrapped up a tour of Britain and Europe in July, have said they are working on a new studio album. A short video clip of Jagger playing a guitar was posted on his Instagram account over the weekend.

“You Were Never Really Here,” a rare movie about violence that seems to abhor that violence.

Phoenix stars as Joe, a former veteran with what appears to be extreme PTSD. There is very little exposition in the movie, beyond a few scattered flashbacks, but what we can gather is that Joe has taken it upon himself to be a sort of private investigator/avenger. If you’re a wealthy politician or somebody with deep pockets, and your daughter or your sister disappears into the shadowy sex slave underground, Joe is the guy you called to get her out. Working through intermediaries Joe performs his little missions quietly, yet brutally, and then returns home to his unassuming apartment where he lives with his ailing mother. As you might imagine in a movie like this, one day Joe gets a job where things don’t go

quite as planned.

The trailer for this movie suggest a film with a completely different feel. The description I gave makes the movie sound kind of like “The Equalizer” and the trailers, wherein Joe menacingly wields a hammer as he walks up a dimly lit staircase, is reminiscent of revenge thrillers like “Oldboy.”

But neither of those films has actually much in common with this quiet meditative character study.

The vast majority of movies like this are, in some way, in love with violence. Even movies where the violence is meant to shock — movies like “American Psycho,” the director still revels in the ability to maim and mutilate their characters.

And revenge thrillers, especially, find delight in soaking the screen in blood. Director Lynne Ramsay, seems to have no such

SINGAPORE — The craze for “Crazy Rich Asians” is hitting Asia, with a premiere in Singapore followed by openings in several neighboring countries later this week.

Much of the over-the-top romantic comedy was set in this wealthy city-state. As the stars streamed past flashing lights down the red carpet Tuesday evening, fans and tourists swarmed around them taking photos and asking for selfies.

The movie is expected to draw enthusiastic crowds across Asia after its box-office bonanza in the U.S. Directed by John M. Chu, the film was adapted from Singaporean author Kevin Kwan’s best-selling novel of the same name. It follows ChineseAmerican Rachel Chu as she travels with her boyfriend Nick Young to Singapore to meet his family and discovers they are ultra-wealthy.

The movie is drawing a mixed reaction. Admirers of the film say that as the first majority Asian-cast film in over two decades to be released by a major Hollywood studio it upends Hollywood’s usual stereotypes of Asian characters. Critics say it misses a chance to showcase Singapore’s ethnic diversity.

The $30 million Warner Bros. film has grossed more than $35 million since its Aug. 15 world debut in Los Angeles and came out tops with its release in U.S. theaters over the weekend.

“This (movie) is something very personal to people, and it feels like a bigger movement than just the movie itself,” Chu, the director, told The Associated Press.

The film has drawn criticism for its inaccurate portrayal of Singapore’s ethnic diversity, with some calling it a misrepresentation of the country’s minority races. Even though a majority of its residents are Chinese, a quarter of its population are Malay, Indian, or

Eurasians, with many migrant workers from other Asian countries like Bangladesh or the Philippines.

“There’s this whole notion of the movie being a triumph for representation, which is very problematic. The only Indians and Malays you see are servants,” said Nicholas Yong, a Singaporean journalist and author who saw the movie before its Singapore premiere.

Even though its glamorous depiction of Singapore could give its tourism a boost, it was not entirely welcomed.

“To us, ‘Crazy Rich’ should not just be about the opulence and luxury showcased in the film, but Singapore’s actual richness in terms of our diversity,” said Singapore Tourism Board’s spokesperson Lynette Pang.

As is true anywhere, in Singapore, the super-rich with their extravagant lifestyles are a

tiny, privileged minority.

Writing in the South China Morning Post of Hong Kong, which has more than its share of tycoons and elite wealthy families, commentator Alex Lo said he enjoyed the film with “guilty pleasure.”

“But amusement aside, it strikes me the whole purpose of the film exercise is to glamorize and legitimize the super-rich in Asia, many of whom are ethnic Chinese in real life,” he said.

“Should we, as the audience and hoi polloi, be tantalized and awed by the display of mega wealth, which has been described, by most accounts, as accurate. Or should we rather be repelled?”

Many in Asia looked forward to seeing some familiar faces.

In Manila, the Philippines, an audience of mostly movie writers, critics and bloggers and some celebrity guests were

thrilled and applauded when two Filipinos in the film, Kris Aquino and Nico Santos, appeared in their roles during an advance screening Monday night, said Ruth Navarra-Mayo, an editor of the Lifestyle section of the newspaper Philippine Daily Inquirer.

Santos plays a fashion designer. Aquino, a popular actress and daughter of late prodemocracy champions in the Philippines, played a member of Malay royalty.

A former American colony, the Philippines has a highly Westernized culture and Hollywood movies are a local entertainment staple. Audiences would welcome more films with Asian themes and characters, Navarro-Mayo said.

“We want to see Asian actors on Asian topics,” NavarroMayo said. “We’re hungry and ready for this type of film.”

Stage actress Barbara Harris dies at 83 LOS ANGELES — Barbara Harris, the Tony Award-winning actress whose comic-neurotic charms lit up the Broadway stage and helped her steal films including “Nashville,” ‘’Freaky Friday” and “A Thousand Clowns,” has died. She was 83.

Harris died early Tuesday of lung cancer in Scottsdale, Arizona, said close friend Charna Halpern, who co-founded the iO Theater in Chicago and had known Harris for decades.

Harris played the mother who switched bodies with Jodie Foster in the original “Freaky Friday” in 1976, the same year she starred in Alfred Hitchcock’s final film, “Family Plot.”

But it was Robert Altman’s 1975 “Nashville” that would become her best-known film with her memorable performance of “It Don’t Worry Me” in front of a shell-shocked crowd after the violent climax.

Harris had been in hospice care and remained restless and hilarious until the end, Halpern said.

“What am I supposed to do, just wait here and die?” Halp-

ern remembered Harris telling one of the hospice nurses at one point. “She was just so funny and warm, in everything she did.”

She was one of the performers in the historic first cast of Chicago’s Second City improvisational theater, which opened its doors in late 1959. Over a half-century it has become the proving ground for dozens of now-famous actors and comedians, from Alan Arkin and John Belushi to Tina Fey and Stephen Colbert.

“The improvisations were the thing,” Harris told the Los Angeles Times. “It gave you a chance to try. If you died, you really died, but it was a great way to learn.”

She made her screen debut in 1965 with “A Thousand Clowns,” then got back-to-back Tony nominations in 1966 and 1967 for two hit Broadway musicals, “On a Clear Day You Can See Forever” and “The Apple Tree.” She took home the Tony for “The Apple Tree,” which was directed by Mike Nichols and also starred Alan Alda.

Harris also racked up an Oscar nomination as best supporting actress in the 1971 film “Who Is Harry Kellerman and Why Is He Saying Those Terrible Things

About Me?” It featured Harris in a memorable bit about a struggling actress who meets up with the main character, a successful but angst-ridden songwriter played by Dustin Hoffman.

While appearing in occasional regional theater productions, she concentrated mostly on film in the 1970s and ‘80s, when she appeared in the landmark productions of “Nashville” and “Family Plot.”

She played Kathleen Turner’s mother in “Peggy Sue Got Married” in 1986 and had a small role in the 1997 John Cusack film “Grosse Point Blank.”

Born in 1935 in the Chicago suburb of Evanston, Harris was a veteran of two Second City predecessor groups, Playwrights Theatre Club — which she joined while still in high school — and the Compass Players, which was created amid the intellectual atmosphere of the University of Chicago.

Her Compass compatriots included Ed Asner, who was among the actors and critics celebrating Harris on Tuesday.

“Goodnight sweet lady,” Asner wrote on Twitter. “You were a force.”

While still with the Second City, Harris helped bring the troupe and its intellectual humor to national attention with out of town appearances in Los Angeles and, shortly thereafter, on Broadway in 1961 in a show titled “From the Second City.”

In 1965’s “A Thousand Clowns,” she played an uptight social worker investigating the welfare of an adolescent boy being raised by his non-conformist uncle (Jason Robards) in a decidedly unorthodox way.

In classic ‘60s fashion, the plot hinges on the tensions between traditional society and those who question its norms.

And, of course, the social worker falls in love with the uncle.

“I’m still not sure what the girl I play here is really like,” Harris told The New York Times in 1964. “These scenes we’re doing now, where she’s a repressed social worker — that’s easy. But later, when she cuts loose — well, I haven’t quite figured it out yet. I’m working the character out as I go along.”

In 1975 she thrived in “Nashville,” Robert Altman’s kaleidoscopic tale of the country music business.

taste for horror. There is violence in this film, certainly, but all of it is shot from a distance and often times through the lens of security camera footage, giving the viewer an extra barrier through which to see it. There is very little blood in this film, not because Joe’s victims don’t bleed, but because the camera doesn’t linger on it. Make no mistake, this is definitely an Rrated film. I’m not talking about one of these PG-13 action movies where a hundred people are shot to death but nobody seems to bleed. Ramsay keeps the violence at a distance, and I think it’s because everything in Joe’s life is kept at a distance. Very little in the movie is explained, and often you feel like Joe is simply moving in a direction he’s been pointed, with very little internal guidance. The music in the movie is odd — most the time very quiet, though at

times louder and discordant, as if there was just too much input for Joe to be able to work through it.

Plot-wise, the movie is relatively simple, although still a little difficult to keep up with, simply because the filmmakers give you almost nothing in the way of explanation. It’s not hard to tell where the plot is going, however, there was one point that Joe makes a narrative leave that that seemed a little out of the blue. As Joe, Phoenix turns in yet another moving, nuanced performance.

With sunken eyes and a shaggy beard, he shambles through his scenes with a sense of desperate menace. Phoenix must be one of those actors who is able to mold their own physicality with relative ease, because where I often think of him as lanky, here he is sporting a thick dad bod that strikes you as less an

invincible force as much as an unmovable object.

Joe is not the only character in the movie, of course. Most of the other actors, however, have one, maybe two scenes at most. The closest thing to a costar for Phoenix here is Ekaterina Samsonov, playing Nina Votto, daughter of a senator who contracts with Joe. Much of this movie felt fairly empty to me, the camera simply following Joe on missions that he barely seemed to register himself, talking to people he didn’t seem to hear, and caring for his mother. With the addition of Nina, however, I began to see what Ramsay was shooting for.

Two victims of extreme trauma — two damaged souls who were able to lean on each other.

The film is, ultimately hopeful in a way I didn’t think it would be. This is a movie I suppose I appreciate more than enjoy.

Phoenix turns in a moving performance, but there’s not really much to the film beyond that.

Ironic that he’s really the only one there, considering the title.

Grade: B“You Were Never Really Here” is rated R for language, violence, and disturbing situations.

Guests at mountain getaway come up short on gratitude socially. At home I feel the same way. The meds I take help, but I still feel inadequate.

Abby, how do I deal with these feelings? I rarely talk to my dad about it. I find more comfort in putting my feelings down on paper than talking about them with my dad.

What should I do?

-- FRUSTRATED GIRL IN CALIFORNIA Abigail Van Buren DEAR FRUSTRATED: One way to deal with your feelings would be to remember that everyone -- not just you -- has challenges. Some people find it helpful to talk about their feelings with others who are fighting similar battles. You might feel better if you find a support group to join so you won’t feel so isolated. To locate one, you and your dad should contact NAMI, the National Alliance on Mental Illness. Its website is nami.org, and the toll-free helpline to call is (800) 950-6264.

DEAR ABBY: My question has to do with a present I bought for a friend’s birthday. It was a gift cer-

tificate for a spa. Unfortunately, when she went to use it, the doors were locked and the place had shut down.

I was very upset and embarrassed. Should I have replaced it even though I didn’t have the money?

-- UPSET AND EMBARRASSED DEAR UPSET: You bought the gift certificate in good faith. It wasn’t your fault that the spa went out of business, and you shouldn’t feel guilty.

I do not think people should spend money they don’t have, and you shouldn’t feel obligated to do so. Explore any possible recourse for getting reimbursement for the gift certificate. If you paid for it with a credit card, your provider may credit you back the money.

Hints from Heloise

HAPPY BIRTHDAY for Thursday, Aug. 23, 2018: This year you have the energy to create much more of what you want and need. You won’t tolerate being passive or not being in the position you desire. Life and excitement walk hand in hand. If you are single, you could meet someone once fall arrives. You alone can decide if this person is right for you. If you are attached, the two of you might get into arguments more often. Don’t make a big deal out of anything small.

AQUARIUS gives you great advice.

The Stars Show the Kind of Day You’ll Have: 5-Dynamic; 4-Positive; 3-Average; 2-So-so; 1-Difficult ARIES (March 21-April 19) HHHHH You express a practical side of your personality. You will approach many different people and projects with this attitude.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) HHHH As you see a surprise head down your path, you’ll want to let others participate in what is happening. Confusion could be the outcome, but sharing this experience might be more important than you know. Your sense of humor will kick in. Tonight: Listen well.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) HHH You might become picky to the point of being cranky, if you are not careful. You understand your limits. Despite this, a perfectionist streak within you sets off a

problem. A family member or domestic issue needs your consideration. Tonight: Time to relax.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) HHH You will communicate what is on your mind. Some people might not hear your words, but others listen. You could be tired of a partner’s combative attitude, and you’ll let him or her know in no uncertain terms. Tonight: Listen carefully to a loved one.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) HHHH You could be at the end of your fuse. How you handle a difficult associate could determine just how volatile this situation becomes. Rest assured that you are coming from a more stable position. You also might have more control. Tonight: Kick up your heels.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) HHHH By midday, you sense a change in your energy levels and also in your perspective. You suddenly feel more upbeat and as if you can handle whatever heads your way. Great ideas often arise when you feel this way. Tonight: Join a friend for dinner and drinks.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) HHHHH Your more playful side emerges. A loved one can’t seem to get enough of you. This person could be unusually demonstrative right now, mainly because he or she wants your attention. A partner could act out in an unexpected way. Tonight: Accept an offer.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) HHHH You could be more upbeat than you have been, and finally might be ready to make a change. A conversation encourages you to follow your heart. A friend feels that excellence lies with this independence. Communicate clearly. Tonight: Catch up on news.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) HH You could be more out of whack than you think. For instance, you might have a hard time getting someone’s attention.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) HHHH You feel empowered.

As a result, no one will try to push to have his or her way for long. Go for what you want, and do not allow a family member to throw off your plans. Your lively ways make all the difference in what occurs.

Tonight: Play it cool and calm.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) HHH Your smile is contagious and draws others toward you. Understand that you could be a bit out of sync. Allow timing to work in your favor. You will get what you want, but not right this second.

Exciting news heads your way.

Tonight: Hang out at a favorite place.

A primer on Pima Dear Readers: It’s a Pima primer!

PIMA COTTON comes from a variety of cotton plant whose fibers are longer, softer and stronger than ordinary cotton (which is known as “upland cotton”).

Pima cotton is made of ELS fibers (extra-long staple, in the trade) and makes for a higher-quality garment, bedsheet or other household cotton item.

Pima cotton tends to pill less, last longer and hold up better in the laundry, and, as you can imagine, items manufactured with Pima cotton typically are more expensive than conventional upland cotton.

Industry experts estimate that less than 5 percent of the world’s cotton production is Pima cotton.

-- Heloise P.S. Egyptian cotton is Pima cotton grown in Egypt!

BABY BOTTLE BRUSH Dear Heloise: So many people now have reusable water bottles. This is much better for the environment. To keep your water bottle clean, an inexpensive baby bottle brush does a great job. It also can be used for tall coffee cups or any tall cup.

-- Mary G., Bluemont, Va. Another environmental attaboy!

-- Heloise WHAT IS RIBOFLAVIN? Dear Readers: Riboflavin is an ingredient you see listed on the side of many boxes, but do you know what it is?

Riboflavin is vitamin B-2. Lots of dairy products and leafy greens provide riboflavin naturally, and fortifying grains and cereals with riboflavin is common.

Along with helping produce energy, Riboflavin also helps your body process fats and drugs.

-- Heloise P.S. One more thing: Riboflavin is bright yellow, and it even glows in the dark!

Sudoku is a number-placing puzzle based on a 9x9 grid with several given numbers.

The object is to place the numbers 1 to 9 in the empty squares so that each row, each column and each 3x3 box contains the same number only once. The difficulty level of the Conceptis Sudoku increases from Monday to Friday.

DEAR ABBY: Years ago, I bought a beautiful little cottage in the North Carolina mountains as a second home. I feel very lucky to be able to afford such a luxury and have always been generous, sharing it with family and friends. However, it has reached the point where people constantly ask to use it.

Abby, my guests have left holes in cushions, bubble gum on couches and someone’s child even peed in the bed. Only once in 10 years was I left with a thank-you note and a gift card to a local store. Most of the time I find a bottle of cheap wine. (I don’t drink.)

How can I stop this? I’m being taken advantage of.

I know I’m partly at fault for being so generous. This cottage was bought for me, my children and grandchildren to enjoy.

-- TOO GENEROUS DEAR TOO GENEROUS: People can be taken advantage of only if they allow it. You need to learn to say no. And when (not if) you are asked why you no longer allow friends and family to use the cottage in your absence, tell the individuals exactly what you have told me about your reasons.

DEAR ABBY: How do you deal with having a mental disorder? I have quite a few, and I wish I didn’t. At work, I feel inadequate because I’m a few steps behind everyone mentally, emotionally and
