In the news Nevada man dies when commercial canoe flips in Southeast river ANCHORAGE (AP) — A Nevada man died when a commercial canoe with 10 people on board overturned in a glacier river in southeast Alaska. The body of 50-year-old Steven Todd Willis of North Las Vegas was pulled from the Davidson Glacier River by a Coast Guard helicopter crew. Alaska State Troopers shortly after 10:30 a.m. Monday received a report from the Haines Police Department that the commercial canoe with an operator and nine passengers had overturned in rapids. Four people were reported missing. A Coast Guard helicopter headed to Skagway was diverted and the crew found Willis’ body. He was pronounced dead just before 1 p.m. Everyone on board wore life jackets. The helicopter transported the nine survivors to a staging area. The name of the boat operator was not immediately released.

Explosive material removed from lake near Sitka SITKA (AP) — The low water level at a lake near Sitka led to the discovery of explosive material near the shore. A person found plastic tubes near a ramp into Blue Lake last week and reported the items to the fire department, the Daily Sitka Sentinel reported Monday. The tubes with explosive material inside were found in holes in an area usually covered by water, said Bryan Bertacchi, the electric utility director for Sitka. “The water is at its lowest level since the most recent construction,” Bertacchi said, referring to the 2014 project that increased the height of the lake’s dam. The city called in a licensed explosives handler, Southeast Earthmovers, to remove the material. The contractor destroyed the items by burning them a safe distance away. The contractor believed the material was older than the last dam project, Bertacchi said. The public was not believed to be in any danger, but officials took precautions to safely remove the items, he said.

Salmon initiative would criss-cross state jurisdictions, officials say By ELIZABETH EARL Peninsula Clarion

Evening on the Kasilof A commercial fishing vessel motors slowly past lines of personal-use dipnet fishermen in the mouth of the Kasilof River on Tuesday, July 31, 2018 in Kasilof, Alaska. Commercial fishermen and dipnetters share the mouth of the Kasilof River, though commercial boats move slowly through the area nearest the mouth and don’t generate large wakes. Tuesday night was a brisk one for the Kasilof river dipnetters — at the evening hightide, hardly a minute passed without three or four fishermen hauling in sockeye and the occasional pink salmon from the water. The Kenai River dipnet closed Monday because of poor returns to that river, but the Kasilof River dipnet will remain open until Aug. 7 unless closed by emergency order.

Beyond just the cost and politics of Ballot Measure 1, state administrators have expressed concern about who would be in charge of what land. Ballot measure 1, a statewide ballot proposition commonly known as the “Stand for Salmon” initiative, would rewrite much of the existing statute relating to permits for activities in fish habitat. One of its main thrusts is to classify types of permits into “major” and “minor,” with major permits required for projects judged to have a significant impact on stream habitat. Proponents have said the initiative would give the Alaska Department of Fish and Game’s Habitat Division more discretion over whether to grant a permit; opponents have said it would block a number of major resource development projects and infrastructure projects in the state.

Preliminary figures show Permanent Fund outperformed market By JAMES BROOKS Juneau Empire

The investment managers at the Alaska Permanent Fund Corporation have once again beaten the market. According to preliminary figures released Monday, the fund is up $5.1 billion in the fiscal year that ended June 30. That’s a return of 10.74 percent, much better than the fund’s recent average and much better than the goal for the fund. “We knocked it out of the park,” corporation CEO Angela Rodell told the Empire in a Tuesday morning interview. “We can really see we’ve done an amazing job this year,” she said. It’s not just this year: Rodell has been CEO since 2015, and in that time, the fund has seen average returns of 7.96 percent. Again, that was above the goal set by the corporation’s board of trustees. Speaking Tuesday, Rodell said she wants to see how the fund’s returns compare to other big public investment agencies. CalPERS, the nation’s largest public pension fund, announced 8.6 percent returns last month. That fund has $351 billion in assets; the Permanent Fund has about $64.9 billion. New York State Common, the nation’s third-largest public pension fund, returned 11.35 percent for a fiscal year that ended March 31. Internationally, China’s equivalent to the Permanent Fund returned 15.7 percent from the year before. Norway’s equivalent, the largest in the world, returned 3.5 percent, then dropped in value during the first quarter of this year. The Permanent Fund’s returns in the most recent fiscal year are down from FY17 returns of 12.57 percent. In a speech to the Juneau Chamber of Commerce last week, Rodell told attendees that

it is important to see the fund beat a passive index benchmark, or “if you let a computer do the investing for you.” This year, that index would have returned 7.83 percent courtesy of a booming bull market. The fund returned nearly 4 percentage points above that, showing the work of the fund’s investors. “I think you’re starting to see the benefits of that in-house management touch every asset class,” Rodell said. The difference between a passive strategy and the active one used by the corporation works out to about $1.7 billion. Coincidentally, that’s approximately the amount the Alaska Legislature appropriated from Angela Rodell, Executive Director of the Alaska Permanent Fund Corporation, speaks about the fund this year to pay for the positive results of the fund this year at the APFC office on Thursday, July 26, 2018.

Scientists: Surprisingly small ‘dead zone’ off Louisiana By JANET MCCONNAUGHEY Associated Press

NEW ORLEANS — This year’s Gulf of Mexico “dead zone” is surprisingly small, but the oxygen-depleted water rose higher toward the surface than usual, scientists said Tuesday. Dead zones are areas in which water at and above the sea floor holds too little oxygen to support marine life. This dead zone is the fourth-smallest ever measured in Louisiana, and is only about 40 percent the average size predicted earlier this year based on nitrogen and other nutrients flowing down the Mississippi river.

“Although the area is small this year, we should not think that the low-oxygen problem in the Gulf of Mexico is solved. We are not close to the goal size for this hypoxic area,” said lead scientist Nancy Rabalais of Louisiana State University and the Louisiana Universities Marine Consortium. The dead zone covers about 2,720 square miles (7,040 square kilometers), rising in some areas as much as threequarters of the way to the surface, she said. The sea-floor area is about 50 percent larger than the goal set by the Mississippi River Nutrient/Hypoxia Task Force, she said.

Each year’s oxygen depletion begins as snowmelt, and followed by spring rains pouring from the Mississippi River into the gulf. The newly deposited fresh water is lighter than salt water, causing two layers to develop. Nitrogen and other nutrients in the fresh water feed a growth spurt of algae and microorganisms at the top. The microorganisms die and fall to the bottom, where their decay consumes oxygen from the bottom up. Winds over shallow areas of the dead zone probably mixed oxygen into water, Rabalais said, while other winds squeezed oxygen-poor water

Deal reached to clean land around 3 plutonium reactors in Washington By NICHOLAS K. GERANIOS Associated Press

SPOKANE, Wash. — A portion of the vast Washington state site where the U.S. government created much of the plutonium for the nation’s nuclear arsenal will be scrubbed free of radiation and other pollution under a final plan reached by the U.S. Department of Energy and federal and state regulators. The plan announced Monday would spend $200 million to finish the cleanup of nearly 8 square miles (20 square kilometers) of the 586-squaremile (1,500-square-kilometer) Hanford Nuclear Reservation, where plutonium was made for nuclear weapons during World War II and the Cold War. The land involved in the plan contains three of Hanford’s nine plutonium reactors. The decision means the land will be returned “to productive reuse for the benefit of the health and livelihood of surrounding communities,” said Andrew Wheeler, acting administrator of the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency. Wheeler has been running the agency since the recent resignation of EPA administrator Scott Pruitt. The plan calls for remov-

al, treatment, and disposal of contaminated soil and debris. Groundwater will be cleaned up to drinking water standards and waste sites cleaned up to “suitable for residential use” levels, according to the agreement. There are no plans to build any houses on the site, which has been closed to the public since

World War II. The plan covers just a small portion of Hanford, which is the subject of a long and complicated cleanup that costs the U.S. government some $2 billion a year and is expected to last for many decades. Hanford is located near Richland, Washington.

into narrower confines. She said the Gulf of Mexico’s hypoxic zone is the world’s second-largest human-caused dead zone, behind only the Baltic Sea. The dead zone often stretches into Texas waters and occasionally reaches east of the Mississippi — though eastward excursions have become more frequent in recent years, her report noted. The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration

had predicted that this year’s dead zone would cover about 5,780 square miles (15,000 square kilometers), or about the size of Connecticut. The NOAA combined four models to make that prediction. The only model that includes winds , made by scientists at North Carolina State University, was at the low end of the group, noted Don Scavia, a professor emeritus at the University of Michigan who works on another model.

“It appears that the westerly winds that distribute the nutrients from the Mississippi to the west were abnormally low around the time of the measurement cruise. That would have kept a lot of the settling algae to the east,” he said in an email. He also noted that the dead zone reached higher than usual, “indicating that the overall volume of water with very low oxygen might have been similar to the predicted areas with a more typical thickness.”

What Others Say

The 9th Circuit, the Supreme Court and a judge’s racist records Last week, a Trump nominee to serve

on the 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals was withdrawn from consideration. What’s notable is not simply that someone with extreme legal and political views wasn’t approved by the U.S. Senate or even that the administration had to withdraw a nominee (a rarity, but it has happened). It’s the cause of Ryan Bounds’ failure: A key Republican couldn’t stomach his racist writings of a quarter-century ago. In case anyone has failed to notice, displays of bigotry and racism within the current administration aren’t exactly getting a sharp reprimand from Congress, at least not from the party in control of it. From President Donald Trump’s remarks … to his embrace of the alt-right, his dog-whistle speeches about border security, the cruel treatment of immigrant children or Mr. Trump’s pronouncement of “good people” among the neo-Nazis who marched in Charlottesville, this president’s attitudes … are well established. Just recently, Homeland Secretary Kirstjen Nielsen echoed her boss’ views on the moral equivalency of the white supremacists who marched in Virginia last year and those who protested them … “It’s not like one side is right and one side is wrong,” she said at the Aspen Security Forum in Colorado. She was no doubt attempting to make a point about the use of violence, but given the administration’s failure to condemn white supremacy, it’s worrisome that a distinction between Nazis and those who oppose fascism is so elusive to a cabinet member. Mr. Bounds, 45, an assistant U.S. district attorney in Oregon and darling of The Federalist Society, was nominated last fall to fill Oregon’s seat on the famously liberal-leaning appeals court. Both of Oregon’s senators, Democrats Ron Wyden and Jeff Merkley, opposed him. Last month, however, he was approved by a one-vote majority in the Senate Judiciary Committee and appeared headed toward confirmation. And then something happened. Two Republican senators, first Tim Scott of South Carolina and then Marco Rubio of Florida, announced they could not support the nominee. Their reasoning? They just weren’t able to accept the bile Mr. Bounds spewed while in college. His writings included some pretty heavy handed ridicule of Stanford University campus organizations that promote diversity and inclusion as well as those that identify by race or ethnic group — examples of such entities might include an Asian engineering club or a black law student association … On another occasion, he wrote that schools should not feel pressured to expel rapists. During his hearings in the Judiciary Committee, Mr. Bounds tried to walk back those inflammatory writings, but his apology did not attract a single Democratic vote. The loss of Senator Scott, who is African American, was the telling one, however, particularly with Sen. John McCain too sick to vote. Might this prove a turning point in whether Republicans will rubber stamp nominees or truly pay attention to their records, particularly when it comes to discriminatory writings, speeches or behaviors? It took nine months of review for the Senate to say no to Mr. Bounds. Under the circumstances, how can the chamber possibly pronounce judgment on Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh and his far lengthier paper trail before November? —The Baltimore Sun, July 23, 2018

Classic Doonesbury, 1990

By GARRY TRUDEAU

Media action plan

Enough is enough. The time has come for the media to reclaim our role and aggressively cover the Trump administration without the fear. We must disregard the constant bullying by him and his accessories after the “alternative facts,” aka flunkies, aka stooges. You expected subtlety? The time for that is long gone. The new stooge on the block is Bill Shine, forced out as a top dog at Fox News after lawsuits charged him with enabling all of Roger Ailes’ alleged sexual outrages. That would immediately endear him to Donald Trump, and sure enough, now he’s the new White House communications director, where he’s taken his obvious talent for managing up by becoming the Don’s latest enforcer. Until Shine, the president’s desire to browbeat those who cover the White House was softened by cooler heads. But now that Shine is on the case, the crackdown has intensified. The latest victim is CNN correspondent Kaitlan Collins. After POTUS raged at Collins’ routinely impertinent questions at a photo-op, Shine banned her from covering an open press event later in the day. That followed his chewing her out in his office. Apparently, Collins handled the meeting in a classy way, which means she’s way more mature than I am (it’s difficult not to be). Suffice it to say, if Shine had done the same with me, it would have been a short meeting. Once again, the various news organi-

zations screamed bloody murder at this latest Trump media thuggery, but this is far beyond the usual wimpy statements of solidarity. It’s time for those who cover this gang to take stronger action. Af- Bob Franken ter a bit of thought, I have some suggestions: — The entire press corps needs to pull out: That’s right, physically abandon the White House. Do the journalistic job of holding the administration accountable from their bureaus and offices. Proximity gains them nothing, particularly since, as we’ve witnessed, reporters are expected to grovel. Use the telephone and computer to properly report on the Trump mob. All that’s sacrificed is the White House backdrop in the TV live shots. Station a camera there to record POTUS events and maybe an embedded reporter to fire questions, but bail out en masse. — No more live coverage of Trump events: Obviously there would be exceptions, such as when he does stuff that is important. When he gives away the national interest to the Vladimir Putins and Kim Jong Uns of this world, take it live, by all means, but not the staged events and political rallies. Sure, show them in their

entirety, but only on a tape-delayed basis, after the networks have had a chance to identify all his lies and exaggerations, and as he spouts them, present the facts on the screen’s lower-third. Supplement that with experts to discuss factual discrepancies. — Label his tweets as dangerous nonsense when they are: Or ignore them as superficial childish tantrums when they are that. — Press charges against those who impede Trump coverage: If the local authorities won’t cooperate, press federal charges against them. — Also press charges against the president if he incites someone to take illegal action against reporters: True, the criminal charges can’t be prosecuted while he’s in office, but that won’t be forever. In addition, he can be sued. We need to take full advantage of the legal options. I realize that each of these bullet points might be shot down as unworkable or revised, but some variation definitely would be better than the timid response we’ve seen thus far. Otherwise, these assaults against the public’s need to know will get worse. Actually, it does every day. Now the boss man is tweeting that the press is “unpatriotic” and endangering “the lives of many.” The only patriotic thing for journalists to do is to get more aggressive with him and his fellow truth molesters. Democracy can survive only with robust media. Neutered news inevitably leads to autocracy.

Trump administration links gas mileage to risk for drivers WASHINGTON (AP) — The Trump administration says people would drive more and be exposed to increased risk if their cars get better gas mileage, an argument intended to justify freezing Obamaera toughening of fuel standards. Transportation experts dispute the arguments, contained in a draft of the administration’s proposals prepared this summer, excerpts of which were obtained by The Associated Press. The excerpts also show the administration plans to challenge California’s longstanding authority to enact its own, tougher pollution and fuel standards. Revisions to the mileage requirements for 2021 through 2026 are still being worked on, the administration says, and changes could be made before the proposal is released as soon as this week. The Trump administration gave notice earlier this year that it would roll back tough new fuel standards put into place in the waning days of the Obama administration. Anticipating the new regulation, California and 16 other states sued the Trump administration in May. Overall, “improvements over time have better longer-term effects simply by not alienating consumers, as compared to great leaps forward” in fuel efficiency and other technology, the administration argues. It contends that freezing the mileage requirements at 2020 levels would save up to 1,000 lives per year. New vehicles would be cheaper — and heavier — if they don’t have to meet more stringent fuel requirements and more people would buy them, the draft says, and that would put more drivers in safer, newer vehicles that pollute less. At the same time, the draft says that people will drive less if their vehicles get

AP News Extra fewer miles per gallon, lowering the risk of crashes. David Zuby, chief research officer at the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety, said he’s doubtful about the administration’s estimate of lives saved because other factors could affect traffic deaths, such as automakers agreeing to make automatic emergency braking standard on all models before 2022. “They’re making assumptions about stuff that may or may not be the same,” he said. Experts say the logic that heavier vehicles are safer doesn’t hold up because lighter, newer vehicles perform as well or better than older, heavier versions in crash tests, and because the weight difference between the Obama and Trump requirements would be minimal. “Allow me to be skeptical,” said Giorgio Rizzoni, an engineering professor and director of the Center for Automotive Research at Ohio State University. “To say that safety is a direct result of somehow freezing the fuel economy mandate for a few years, I think that’s a stretch.” Experts say that a heavier, bigger vehicle would incur less damage in a crash with a smaller, lighter one and that fatality rates also are higher for smaller vehicles. But they also say that lighter vehicles with metals such as aluminum, magnesium, titanium and lighter, high-strength steel alloys perform as well or better than their predecessors in crash tests. Alan Taub, professor of materials science and engineering at the University of Michigan, said he would choose a 2017 Malibu over a heavier one from 20 years earlier. It’s engineered better, has more features to avoid crashes and additional air

bags, among other things. “You want to be in the newer vehicle,” he said. An April draft from the Trump administration said freezing the requirements at 2020 levels would save people $1,900 per new vehicle. But the later draft raises that to $2,100 and even as high as $2,700 by 2025. Environmental groups questioned the justification for freezing the standards. Luke Tonachel, director of the clean-vehicle program at the Natural Resources Defense Council, said the risk from people driving more due to higher mileage is “tiny and maybe even negligible.” Under the Trump administration proposal, the fleet of new vehicles would have to average roughly 30 mpg in real-world driving, and that wouldn’t change through 2026. California has had the authority under the half-century-old Clean Air Act to set its own mileage under a special rule allowing the state to curb its chronic smog problem. More than a dozen states follow California’s standards, amounting to about 40 percent of the country’s new-vehicle market. Asked if he thinks a freeze in U.S. mileage standards is warranted, EPA acting administrator Andrew Wheeler told a small group of reporters at EPA headquarters last week, “I think we need to go where the technology takes us” on fuel standards. Wheeler did not elaborate. Agency spokespeople did not respond when asked specifically if the EPA acting chief was making the case that modern cars could be both fuel efficient and safe. Wheeler also spoke out for what he called “a 50-state solution” that would keep the U.S car and truck market from splitting between two different mileage standards.

Nation/World Facebook finds efforts to disrupt elections By BARBARA ORTUTAY and MARY CLARE JALONICK Associated Press

NEW YORK — Facebook elevated concerns about election interference Tuesday, announcing that it had uncovered “sophisticated” efforts, possibly linked to Russia, to manipulate U.S. politics and by extension the upcoming midterm elections. The company was careful to hedge its announcement; it didn’t link the effort directly to Russia or to the midterms, now less than a hundred days away. And its findings were limited to 32 apparently fake accounts on Facebook and Instagram, which the company removed because they were involved in “coordinated” and “inauthentic” political behavior. But official Washington connected those dots anyway, not least because the reported activity so closely mirrored Russian influence campaigns during the 2016 presidential election. Nearly 300,000 people followed at least one of the newly banned accounts and thousands expressed interest in events they promoted. “This is an absolute attack on our democracy,” said Virginia Sen. Mark Warner, the

top Democrat on the Senate intelligence committee and one of several lawmakers Facebook had briefed in advance. Warner expressed “pretty high confidence” that Russia was behind the assault. A spokesman for Senate Judiciary Chairman Chuck Grassley said Facebook had informed his office that “that a limited group of Russian actors has attempted to spread disinformation using its platform and that the affected groups are affiliated with the political left.” The identified accounts sought to “promote divisions and set Americans against one another,” wrote Ben Nimmo and Graham Brookie of the Atlantic Council’s Digital Forensic Research Lab in a blog post Tuesday. The nonprofit is working with Facebook to find and analyze abuse on its service. The perpetrators, Facebook noted, have been “more careful to cover their tracks” than in 2016, in part because of steps Facebook has taken to prevent abuse over the past year. For example, they used virtual private networks and internet phone services to mask their locations, and paid third parties to run ads on their behalf.

After it became clear that Russia-linked actors used social media to try to influence the 2016 U.S. election, Facebook has escalated countermeasures intended to prevent a repeat. It has cracked down on fake accounts and tried to slow the spread of fake news and misinformation through outside fact-checkers. The company has also announced new guidelines around political advertisements, requiring disclosure of who paid for them and keeping a database.

Facebook has ramped up spending on these and other measures, so much so that it finally spooked investors with a forecast of lower profitability last Wednesday. Facebook’s shares promptly dropped almost 20 percent and haven’t recovered. While the company would not say who is behind the efforts, Facebook said it uncovered links between the accounts it just deleted and those created by Russia’s Internet Research Agency in the 2016 influence effort.

Release of blueprints for 3D-printed guns blocked By MARTHA BELLISLE and MATTHEW DALY Associated Press

SEATTLE — A federal judge on Tuesday stopped the release of blueprints to make untraceable and undetectable 3D-printed plastic guns as President Donald Trump questioned whether his administration should have agreed to allow the plans to be posted online. The company behind the plans, Austin, Texas-based Defense Distributed, had reached a settlement with the federal government in June allowing it to make the plans for the guns available for download on Wednesday. The restraining order from U.S. District Judge Robert Lasnik in Seattle puts that plan on hold for now. “There is a possibility of irreparable harm because of the way these guns can be made,” he said. Washington state Attorney General Bob Ferguson called the ruling “a complete, total victory.”

“We were asking for a nationwide temporary restraining order putting a halt to this outrageous decision by the federal government to allow these 3D downloadable guns to be available around our country and around the world. He granted that relief,” Ferguson said at a news conference after the hearing. “That is significant.” Eight Democratic attorneys general had filed a lawsuit Monday seeking to block the settlement. They also sought the restraining order, arguing the 3D guns would be a safety risk. Congressional Democrats have urged President Donald Trump to reverse the decision to publish the plans. Trump said Tuesday that he’s “looking into” the idea, saying making 3D plastic guns available to the public “doesn’t seem to make much sense!” Trump tweeted that he has already spoken with the National Rifle Association about the downloadable directions a Texas company wants to provide

JAKARTA, Indonesia (AP) — An Indonesian court on Tuesday outlawed Jemaah Anshorut Daulah, a network of militants that supports the Islamic State group, following a series of deadly attacks over the past two years. Presiding Judge Aris Bawono Langgeng told the South Jakarta District Court that the organization comprised of almost two dozen extremist groups is a “forbidden corporation.” He

said its activities and those of other groups affiliated with it or IS are banned. The case against Jemaah Anshorut Daulah was brought by government prosecutors and appeared aimed at empowering stronger police action against militant members of the network and their supporters. In 2008, a court banned Jemaah Islamiyah, the al-Qaida affiliated network responsible for the Bali bombings in 2002. The group was obliterated by a sustained crackdown on militants by Indonesia’s counter-

for people to make 3D-printed guns. The guns are made of a hard plastic and are simple toassemble, easy to conceal and difficult to trace. “We don’t agree with President Trump very much,” Washington state Assistant Attorney General Jeff Rupert told Lasnik, “but when he tweeted ‘this doesn’t make much sense,’ that’s something we agree with.”

After a yearslong court battle, the State Department in late June settled the case against Defense Distributed. The settlement, which took gun-control advocates by surprise, allowed the company to resume posting blueprints for the hard-plastic guns at the end of July. Those plans were put on hold by the Seattle judge’s decision.

terrorism police with U.S. and Australian support, but a new threat has emerged in recent years inspired by IS attacks abroad. The prosecution indictment filed against the IS-linked group said JAD supporters across Indonesia carried out attacks that killed civilians and police and damaged public facilities. Regional leaders of the militant network, including Zainal Anshori, who is serving a seven-year prison sentence for gun smuggling, acknowledged in court that JAD exists but as-

serted it was not a legal entity in Indonesia. In May, two families carried out suicide bombings in Indonesia’s second-largest city, Surabaya, killing a dozen people and two young girls whose parents had involved them in one of the attacks. Police said the father was the head of a local JAD cell. A radical cleric who founded JAD, Aman Abdurrahman, was sentenced to death last month for inciting attacks including a 2016 suicide bombing at a Starbucks in Jakarta.

BRAZZAVILLE, Republic of Congo — A representative for a rebel group says the Republic of Congo has removed arrest warrants for Frederic Bintsamou and two of his lieutenants. Philippe Ane said Tuesday this is an important step toward implementing a cease-fire agreement signed last year between the government and the Ninjas militia. Bintsamou, also known as Pastor Ntumi, went into hiding in April 2016 after he was blamed for an attack that killed 17 people in the Pool region. The militia staged armed attacks against the army and the railway connecting the southeast Pool region to Brazzaville. Republic of Congo officials earlier this year released 100 of Bintsamou’s relatives from prison. The Ninja militia fought government forces from 1999 to 2003. Bintsamou was tasked with re-integrating former rebels into the national force.

Egypt says police kill 5 militants north of Cairo CAIRO — Egypt says police have killed five suspected militants in a shootout north of Cairo. The Interior Ministry says Monday the militants were killed in an exchange of fire as security forces raided their hideout in the el-Obour district. It says another five militants were arrested. The ministry says the militants were members of Hasm, which authorities say is a breakaway faction of the outlawed Muslim Brotherhood. Egypt has been battling Islamic militants for years, but the insurgency gained strength after the 2013 overthrow of an elected but divisive Islamist president. The militants have mainly targeted security forces and Christians. In February, Egypt launched a wide-scale security operation focused on the northern Sinai Peninsula, where an affiliate of the Islamic State group has carried out scores of attacks in recent years.

ISLAMABAD — The first ever Hindu elected to a general seat in Pakistan’s parliament says he wants to work on combatting early marriages and forced conversion, and on improving health care in his home region. Mahesh Kumar Malani, a 55-year-old from a remote area of the southern Sindh province, won a competitive seat in the July 25 election. Other Hindus have served in parliament in seats set aside for religious minorities. Malani ran on the ticket of the Pakistan People’s Party, which also had two Hindu members elected to general seats in the Sindh provincial assembly. Religious minorities have long faced discrimination in Pakistan, a conservative Sunni-majority country. They have also been a frequent target of religious extremists. – The Associated Press

Ring the bell for Oilers-Bucs heavyweight bout ABL playoffs start today with spicy matchup on offer for Oilers By JOEY KLECKA Peninsula Clarion

With less than a week left in the regular season, Peninsula Oilers head coach Kyle Brown made it clear who he wanted to see in the Alaska Baseball League playoffs. “We want the (Mat-Su) Miners,” he stated following a win. Brown didn’t get his wish, and there was a reason he preferred the top-seeded team in the league over the second seed. On paper, the Anchorage Bucs look pretty daunting. The have the Alaska Baseball League ERA leader, the hitting leader and the hottest team in the league as the playoffs open. But a closer look reveals that the Peninsula Oilers can match them. “We expect some low-scoring games,” Brown said. “We’re going to need some opportunistic scoring. It’s about those

little details.” The Oilers and Bucs prepare to clash in the ABL playoffs, which begin with a best-of-three game series starting tonight at 7 p.m. at Mulcahy Stadium. All games are scheduled for 7 p.m. this week. The Miners and Chugiak Chinooks will face off in the other playoff semifinal, with the two series winners meeting for the Top of the World Series. The Oilers and Bucs waged a war in the ABL standings down the stretch of the regular season, with the Bucs riding a seven-game win streak to the second seed. The hot finishing kick almost helped the Bucs take the top seed from the Miners, but a Sunday loss to Mat-Su clinched it for the Miners. Brown said he is keeping his staff loose and relaxed as they prepare to chase down the Oilers’ first Top of the World Series appearance since 2011. “We’re just enjoying the moment and

getting the most out of the players,” he said. “For them, coming up to Alaska is a once-in-a-lifetime experience. Right now it’s about controlling the nerves because it’s still just a game, but everything is amplified. “When we get strike one, we want to erupt as a dugout. When we get a hit, we erupt as a dugout. Everything needs to be ten-fold in energy.” The Oilers began the summer taking four out of six games from the Bucs in a lengthy home series, helping them to an 11-4 start and an early lead atop the ABL, but the team faded and eventually finished 5-6 against the Bucs in the overall season series. The Oilers were 1-4 against the Bucs at Mulcahy this summer, which is where the Oilers will need to play their best. It’s no secret that the Bucs pitching has Peninsula Oilers starter Tevin Murray offers up a pitch July 27 carried the team on a late season run to against the Anchorage Glacier Pilots at Coral Seymour Memorial See ABL, page A7 Park in Kenai.

Nationals go wild on Mets Washington routs NY, sets club record with 25 runs on 26 hits By The Associated Press

WASHINGTON — In the highest-scoring game in franchise history, Daniel Murphy hit two early home runs and the Washington Nationals kept pouring it on against emergency reliever Jose Reyes and the New York Mets in a 25-4 rout Tuesday night. Trea Turner, who apologized before the game to his teammates for homophobic and racially insensitive tweets he sent several years ago, had four of Washington’s 26 hits. Pitcher Tanner Roark (5-12) hit a three-run double during a seven-run first inning. The Nationals set the team scoring mark dating to their days as the Montreal Expos in 1969. It was the Mets’ most-

lopsided loss in their 57-season history, worse than a 26-7 pounding by Philadelphia in 1985. Reyes made the first pitching appearance of his career, and the 35-year-old infielder got tagged for home runs by Matt Adams and Mark Reynolds in a six-run eighth. Throwing a fastball in the mid-80s mph and a curve in the upper 40s, Reyes gave up five hits and walked two. Reyes also plunked Ryan Zimmerman with a soft toss. After getting hit in the leg, Zimmerman playfully faked a charge toward the mound, drawing a laugh from Reyes, who wore one of ace Jacob deGrom’s gloves on the mound. The game got so out of

hand, Mets television announcers Keith Hernandez, Ron Darling and Gary Cohen took turns reading verbatim from the team’s media guide in the late innings — the SNY network played the theme from “Masterpiece Theatre” in the background. PIRATES 5, CUBS 4 PITTSBURGH (AP) — Gregory Polanco hit his team-leading 19th home run, Francisco Cervelli added his 10th of the season and Pittsburgh finished off a frantic trade deadline day with a victory. Hours after trading for Texas closer Keone Kela and Tampa Bay starter Chris Archer to give their postseason hopes a jolt, the Pirates won for the 16th time in

20 games by getting to Jon Lester (12-4) in the middle innings and holding on late. Polanco’s solo homer in the eighth gave Pittsburgh a two-run cushion. The Pirates needed it after closer Felipe Vazquez gave up a single to pinch-hitter David Bote leading off the top of the ninth and Addison Russell followed with a shot to the gap in right-center that scored Bote.

For Brian Dozier, getting traded meant a dash to the airport and a long trip to Dodger Stadium. For Jake Diekman, it was a lot easier — he simply rode the bullpen cart from one clubhouse to the other at Chase Field. Chris Archer, Jonathan Schoop and a bunch of relievers moved on deadline day, a flurry of 15 swaps Tuesday before time ran out to make deals without waivers. The trade market kept spinning at a dizzying pace. Every team except San Francisco made at least one deal since the All-Star Game, with Tampa Bay swinging seven. Archer, a two-time All-Star, hugged teammates at Tropicana Field before heading to Pittsburgh. He is 3-5 with a 4.31 ERA in 17 starts this season, and joins a Pirates club that has pushed back into the playoff race even after trading away Gerrit Cole and Andrew McCutchen in the offseason. “They’re super-hot right now, and they want me,” Archer said. “I’m excited to be part of the organization that wants me, part of a rich baseball history, a hard-working community. I can’t wait to get there.” The Rays sent former AllStar catcher Ramos to NL Eastleading Philadelphia, while Leonys Martin, Kevin Gausman and Cameron Maybin also switched sides as contenders tweaked their rosters. And why not? All but four National League teams began the day within 5 1/2 games of a playoff spot. The American League is more spread out — division leaders Boston, Cleveland and Houston have been busy. Manny Machado, Cole

Hamels, Zach Britton, Mike Moustakas and Ian Kinsler were among the big names that moved earlier this month. Bryce Harper, Jacob deGrom, J.T. Realmuto and McCutchen had been mentioned in trade speculation, but stayed put. “I think whenever you hear your name or see your name on stuff, you always wonder. But I think that’s just the business side of the game,” Harper said. “It’s part of the game.” One of Harper’s teammates packed up. Exactly a year after getting traded from Minnesota to Washington, reliever Brandon Kintzler was part of another deadline deal. This time, the Nationals sent him to the NL Central-leading Chicago Cubs. “I thought they were joking. I figured it’s not April’s Fools. They called me in, I said, ‘Am I traded?’ They said yeah,” Kintzler said. An All-Star last year, Kintzler turns 34 on Wednesday. “Birthday again tomorrow, so I’m traveling on my birthday again, so that’s great. It is what it is,” he said. Dozier had been a fixture in Minnesota’s lineup for years. But the Twins dipped this season, and they sent the powerhitting second baseman to the NL West-leading Los Angeles Dodgers for infielder Logan Forsythe and two minor leaguers. Rather than starting at Target Field in Minneapolis, the 31-year-old Dozier hustled to join his new club as it hosted Milwaukee. He’s now part of a revamped infield for the defending NL West champion Dodgers, who added Machado two weeks ago. “Brian’s brand here in MinSee DEALS, page A7

MLS eager to show off Atlanta success story at All-Star game By PAUL NEWBERRY AP Sports Writer

ATLANTA — The MLS All-Star Game is more than the league showing off its best players against Italian powerhouse Juventus. It’s a chance to flaunt one of its biggest success stories. The A-T-L. Atlanta United has shattered just about every MLS attendance record since joining the league in 2017 , which made it a natural choice to host the All-Star Game at Mercedes-Benz Stadium. Another mark could fall in Wednesday night’s match, expected to lure upwards of 70,000 fans to this technological marvel of a stadium. “That’s why the game is here,” said United defender Michael Parkhurst, one of five players from league-leading Atlanta picked for the MLS team. “It’s to showcase the city itself, the stadium, the atmosphere that we create here. It’s special.”

Indeed, there’s nothing unusual about drawing such a mammoth soccer crowd in Atlanta. In its debut season, United shattered the league record by averaging 48,200 per game — more than doubling all but three other teams in MLS. The club is projected to go even higher this season, averaging nearly 52,000 through its first dozen home matches. The top five individual game crowds in MLS history have all been in Atlanta, which has eclipsed 70,000 for every regular-season match in which the upper deck has been open . The target to beat for an All-Star Game is 70,728, which was the record turnout for the 2010 match at Houston’s NFL stadium. If the weather forecast holds — there was a strong chance of thunderstorms — the camera lens-resembling roof will be closed to ensure a comfortable setting for both the players and the big crowd. Too bad.

The complex structure only recently began operating properly, allowing it to open or close in less than 10 minutes . Every other aspect of the $1.5 billion stadium has drawn rave reviews, setting it up to be one of the leading venues for the 2026 World Cup that will be largely hosted by the United States. The winning bid, which also includes Mexico and Canada, calls for six games to be held in Atlanta — including a semifinal. The stadium has already developed quite a reputation in MLS, with its chanting, flag-waving fans showing off their passion while giving United a huge home-field edge. “It’s surprising,” New York Red Bulls forward Bradley Wright-Phillips said before a workout Tuesday at the stadium. “I heard a lot of talk before they came into the league about how it was going to be. I wasn’t sure, but playing here and watching them on TV, the support these players have is

amazing.” Since the current All-Star Game format was adopted in 2005, pitting a team of MLS stars against a prominent club from Europe, the Americanbased league holds a 7-6 edge. Of course, this game means a lot more to MLS than it does to the opponent. Juventus, which is riding a streak of seven straight titles in Serie A, is merely tuning up for a league season than begins in less than two weeks. The Italian club already played two exhibitions in the U.S. as part of the International Champions Cup — beating Germany’s Bayern Munich and Portugal’s Benfica — and has one more friendly Saturday against Real Madrid before returning to Europe. Juventus didn’t bring along fivetime FIFA Player of the Year Cristiano Ronaldo , acquired from Real Madrid a few weeks ago in a record transfer deal for a player older than 30. Still recovering from the World

Cup, Ronaldo remained in Italy to train, along with new teammates Gonzalo Higuain, Juan Cuadrado, Mario Mandzukic and Paulo Dybala. Manager Massimiliano Allegri is confident that his squad is ready to make another title run in Serie A. “There isn’t much to do,” he said through a translator. “We have the defenders. We have the midfielders. It’s just a matter of deciding who are the two or three in front who are basically going to put the ball in the goal.” The MLS team also will be missing one of its top players — LA Galaxy star Zlatan Ibrahimovic, who ranks second in the league with 15 goals. The 36-year-old Swede chose to not to make the cross-country trip to Atlanta after playing three league matches over a nine-day span, saying he was more focused on leading his streaking team to the playoffs. Under league rules, he’ll also have to skip the Galaxy’s next match against Colorado on Saturday.

second place in the standings. In their two most recent meetings with the Bucs, the Oilers scored one run on six hits over 18 innings of play. Anchorage finished on a 13-4 run, starting July 7, including a seven-game win streak, and seven of those 13 wins were shutout performances by the Anchorage pitching staff. Taking a closer look, five of the seven pitchers that have multiple starts on the team sport an ERA below 3.00, led by Bucs lefty Adam Seminaris. The Long Beach State freshman leads the league in ERA with a stingy 0.38, with only two earned runs in 47 innings. Luckily, one of those runs came courtesy of the Oilers, but that was back on June 7. Brown believes the Bucs avoided a closer matchup by securing home field advantage. Mulcahy is artificial turf while the Oilers’ home park, Coral Seymour Memorial Park, is natural grass. “The Bucs aren’t going to be scared of us,” he said. “I think if

we’re down in Kenai, they’d be a lot more scared. I don’t think they play very well on natural turf, the astro turf they know is going to have true hops on the ball.” Four of the top 11 pitchers in the league by ERA (with a minimum of 20 innings) are Bucs pitchers. Brown said the Bucs pitching is tough because they’re smart, working counts to their favor, and said his hitters will need to be on the lookout for fastballs once the count goes deep. The Bucs also have hitting. Gonzaga senior Jake Vieth leads the ABL in batting with a .364 average and is second with six home runs and 33 RBIs. Four of Vieth’s six homers have come against the Oilers this summer, and he is batting .444 against them. “He’s hit two opposite (field) and two pole side on us,” Brown said. “Our strategy is don’t let Vieth beat us.” Brown said in order to avoid Vieth’s power, the Oilers staff will work hard to create the most ideal situational pitching they can. “It’s not about beating the hitter, it’s about beating a lineup,” Brown explained. “We may intentionally walk him,

we’re noticing tendencies as well … it may not seem like the proper thing to do, but at the same time, we’ve been burned by him.” However, the Oilers have the power to match Vieth. Oilers catcher and Cal State Bakersfield junior Ryan Koch led the team with a power surge this summer, topping the ABL with seven homers while batting a sporty .265, best on the team. Koch highlighted his summer by winning the ABL Home Run Derby in mid-July. Brown said Koch is built into a stealthy lineup that supports each other. “When Koch goes, we go,” Brown said. “He’s a crucial part of the lineup, but we don’t need him to go up and hit a home run, we just need him to hit a line drive.” The team offense has also been supported by a stout Oilers pitching staff this summer, one that started hot and cooled a bit, but is picking up steam at the right time. Cal State San Marcos junior righty Mike Lopez dominated the regular season for the Oilers, twirling a sparkling 0.81 ERA that ranks second in the league among qualified pitch-

ers, only to the Bucs’ Seminaris. Behind him, Rutgers lefty Tevin Murray is another deadly fire thrower who has been heating up lately. Murray has a 4.01 ERA but is third in the league in strikeouts with 46 in 33 2/3 innings. His last start saw him whiff seven and give up one run over six strong innings against the Anchorage Glacier Pilots. Brown said he expects Murray will start game one tonight, while Lopez will get the nod for game two on Thursday. “(Lopez) is just a quiet leader that leads by example, he’s not vocal like most, but we don’t need that out of our ace,” Brown said. “Tevin usually 88 to 91 (mph) and his strikeouts are there. He has the ability to shut down a lineup.” Brown said with a short twoor three-game series, the sense of urgency is there, but if there is any team that can handle it, it’s his Oilers. “You can’t get too worked up about it, it’s not game seven of the World Series,” he said. “But we’re just learning the playoff atmosphere, and we’re learning to keep the heart rate down through different techniques.”

dent of Colombia’s football federation, is being investigated for alleged embezzlement and resale of tickets for World Cup qualifying matches, Colombian trade authorities said. Jesurun, who is on FIFA’s main decisionmaking committee, is being probed along with his predecessor as federation president, Luis Bedoya, executive Alvaro Gonzalez Alzate, former Colombian league chairman Jorge Perdomo and others. The trade authorities said the investigation concerned eight of the nine home South American qualifiers played by the national team. They believe 42,221 tickets were allegedly embezzled and resold,

are estimated to be about $4.5 million. Jesurun is also vice-president of South America’s football organization CONMEBOL. Bedoya is in the United States as a protected witness after a CONMEBOL bribery scandal. If the parties involved are found guilty, the trade authorities could impose big fines. Colombia’s football federation said in a statement that the organization and its staff “will show their correctness, as they are the main victims and whistleblowers of such activities.” Authorities are also investigating Ro-

Ruiz, plus ticket selling companies Ticketshop and Tu TicketYa.com. Investigators say Rendon Cano allegedly received privileged information through the federation to lure partners and receive exclusive access to the tickets. “The massive embezzlement of tickets and its resale were only possible because of actions attributed to the federation,” trade investigator Felipe Robledo said in a press conference. “There were deliberate actions and deliberate omissions of the federation and its executives.” The investigations began in October 2017 when Colombia faced Paraguay in Barranquilla.

going to turn down, and it will happen in that next five-year timeframe,” Rodell said. The key for the fund is to be invested in such a way that when the downturn comes, the fund drops less than the rest of the market. Then, when the market rises again, the fund will again try to rise faster than the rest. For a fund whose name is also its primary goal, that’s the key to long-term success. “The challenge is going to be maintaining that high level

of performance,” Rodell said. To meet that challenge, the fund is growing internally, moving away from external managers and toward in-house control. By the time the fund’s current five-year plan is finished in 2020, more than half of the fund will be controlled by investors in Juneau. On Tuesday, construction workers were busily remodeling the fund’s offices to make space for more workers. An additional 10 have already been authorized by the Legislature. “We’d rather pay people here in Juneau than pay people around the world,” Rodell said.

Women arrested for spending thousands with stolen credit cards Eight women have been charged for allegedly using a handful of stolen credit cards to purchase more than $8,000 worth of goods during a series of shopping sprees late last year. Elizabeth J. Freeman, 32, Tonya S. Fry, 44, Samantha J. Fry, Joanna L. Samson-Sills, 44, Bridget L. Samson, 28, Desiree J. Guilliam, 23, Teri L. Bannach, 42, and Savanna M. Enix, 32, were each charged with theft for allegedly using credit cards belonging to a deceased man to purchase groceries, gas, snacks, cigarettes and Christmas decorations, among other items, between November and December 2017, according to an Alaska State Troopers affidavit filed with the court. The women allegedly charged $8,155.71 on the cards, which were inside a wallet that was reported stolen from a Soldotna home in late November 2017, according to the affidavit. Two cell phones and $300 cash were also reported stolen at the time. The cards were reportedly used at different times by different women at local stores, including Walgreens, Walmart, Fred Meyer and Tesoro. A stolen card was also used to pay for work on a home septic system, according to the affidavit. Freeman, who was arrested last week, was charged with five counts of second-degree theft, a class C felony and one count of third-degree theft, a class A misdemeanor. She was also charged with one count of first-degree vehicle theft, a class C felony, for allegedly stealing a truck. She is being held at Wildwood Pretrial Facility on $10,000 bail. Samson-Sills, who was arrested at her Soldotna home Monday on an outstanding warrant, faces five counts of second-degree theft and one count of fourth-degree theft, a class B misdemeanor. She was taken to Wildwood Pretrial Facility on $5,000 bail. Bridget Samson, who is facing unrelated theft and forgery charges, was arrested Monday on three outstanding warrants. She was charged with four counts of second-degree theft, two counts of fraudulent use of an access device, a class A misdemeanor; and three counts of unauthorized use of an access device, a class A misdemeanor. She was taken to Wildwood Pretrial Facility and held on $5,000 bail. Bannach was arrested on an outstanding warrant and charged with three counts of second-degree theft and nine counts of unauthorized use of an access device. She was additionally charged with fourth-degree misconduct involving a controlled substance, a class A misdemeanor, and first-degree promoting contraband, a class C felony, after she was allegedly caught with heroin at Wildwood Pretrial Facility, according to an online trooper dispatch. Enix, who was issued a summons, is charged with one count of second-degree theft, one count of third-degree theft and two counts of unauthorized use of an access device. The court issued a warrant for Guilliam, who is charged with one count of second-degree theft, one count of fourthdegree theft and two counts of fraudulent use of an access device. Warrants for Samantha and Tonya Fry, who are both charged with one count of second-degree theft and one count of fourth-degree theft, were issued by the court.

The Yamaha is blue and white and has gold colored clutch/brake handles/cables. Investigation is ongoing, and anyone with information about this case is urged to contact Soldotna Alaska State Troopers at 262-4453. n On July 28 at 1:08 p.m., Alaska State Troopers received the report that Wilson Carlos, 30, of Seward, had violated his conditions of release.

commissioners and staff from four state departments offered analysis on how the initiative would impact their operations. “A simple activity, let’s say a culvert, it’s not just a single permit,” explained Kyle Moselle, the associate director of the Alaska Department of Natural Resources office of project management and permitting in Anchorage. “It’s a fish habitat permit, it’s a temporary water authorization permit … it’s multiple permits. When you start to scale that up to a bigger project, like a dam project … you start to have overlapping jurisdictions. The initiative only modifies the authority of Fish and Game.” The Department of Natural Resources regulates activities the state tidal lands, from the mean high tide up to three nautical miles offshore. That includes activities from mooring fishing buoys to mining to water use rights. If the initiative passes, that could change the authority the department has over the lands, Moselle said, raising a question of whether DNR can issue a permit for an activity it considers the best use of the water if Fish and Game doesn’t. Another item included in the

However, both Youngman and Vizenor are seeing younger families move in. “There’s a lot of young families building out here or have moved in here,” Vizenor said. “We can only tell by seeing how many kids use the playground we built.” Vizenor moved from Eagle River to retire in Funny River 11 years ago. She worked on getting the playground installed near the community center,

Court reports The following judgments were recently handed down in Kenai Superior Court: n Remy Keith Spring, 29, of Soldotna, pleaded guilty to one count of possession of child pornography, committed July 1, 2016. He was sentenced to four years in prison with two years suspended, will receive 360 days credit for time spend on electronic monitoring, was fined a $100 court surcharge and a $200 jail surcharge with $100 suspended, forfeited all items seized except lens attached to Nikon camera, ordered, among other conditions of probation, not to consume alcohol to excess, to register as a sex offender, not to possess pornography, diapers, children’s toys, books, clothing, or any other paraphernalia associated solely with children, to successfully complete a sex offender treatment program, to not knowingly have any contact with a person under 18 years of age unless in the immediate presence of another adult, approved in writing by the probation officer, who knows the circumstances of his crime (including triggers for the crime, if appropriate), not to enter places where children congregate, such as parks, playgrounds and schools and not to live in areas adjacent to schools or places frequented by children without written permission from the probation officer, not to at any time possess or have in his residence or any vehicle he controls any sexually explicit material or any material that acts as a stimulus for his triggers, not to open or maintain an account with any Internet provider or participate in any social media accounts such as dating sites, MySpace or Facebook and not to access the internet from anyone else’s account without prior written permission from the probation officer, not to enter any business establishment whose primary business is the sale of sexually explicit material or enter any establishment where nude dancing of posing

initiative is for public comment to be required for fish habitat permits. Many of the stages in the permitting process already require public comment, including for water rights, rightsof-way and easements, Moselle said. Like DNR, the Alaska Department of Environmental Conservation would also have jurisdiction questions for granting permits if the initiative passes. Andrew Sayers-Fay, the director of the Division of Water Quality for DEC, gave the example of mixing zones for sewage treatment facilities. If the initiative passes, DEC could permit mixing zones under its regulations, but Fish and Game could deny the permits based on its fish habitat regulations. For an agency like the Alaska Department of Transportation and Public Facilities, which regularly works in streams to improve roads, replace culverts, maintain airports and repair bridges, among other activities, the changes in the initiative may significantly delay projects in part because of the permitting processes. Most of DOT’s projects are federally funded and thus have to meet the requirements of the National Environmental Protection Act. But because of the types of projects they do, most of them fit into the “categorical exclusion” category, allowing the agency to bypass the much

longer Environmental Assessment or Environmental Impact Statement process. “Over the last few years our state-funded projects have become less of our typical work load to the extent that virtually all our projects rely on federal funding of some sort,” said Ben White, the statewide environmental analyst for DOT, in an email. “Of all our projects, over 90 percent are processed as a categorical exclusion.” One of the clauses in the Stand for Salmon initiative is that projects expected to have “significant adverse effect” on salmon habitat requires a major permit. DOT and its contractors regularly redirect streams, place riprap along streambanks and temporarily block fish passage. The initiative’s language will scale the categorical exclusion-level projects up to an environmental assessment, which White estimated in the hearing could take up to three years to complete. “The roads, the bridges, everything we build are designed to maintain safety for the traveling public,” he said. “There’s some concern that this may trump some of those safety concerns. We may not be able to use riprap to protect revetments or abutments.” DOT is the single biggest source of habitat permit applications, said Ron Benkert, the director of Fish and Game’s

Division of Habitat. Under the new regulations if the initiative passes, the Division of Habitat’s jurisdiction would expand into the riparian areas around rivers as well, because they would be presumed to be fish habitat. That would require Fish and Game to work out jurisdiction issues with other land management agencies, Benkert told the committee. The Division of Habitat does have some discretion over who has to have a permit — for instance, the minimal damage caused by an angler standing in a stream, Benkert said. The state has also taken new science into consideration over the years for best practices to protect streams, such as updating the standards for blasting, he said. “Although (the law) hasn’t changed since 1962, it’s not like we’re permitting in the same way we were in 1962,” he said. “We take a lot of different things into consideration as the knowledge in the field continues to develop.” The state challenge the legality of the initiative in the Alaska court system and is currently waiting on a ruling from the Alaska Supreme Court on whether the initiative is legal to be on the ballot on Nov. 6. A decision is expected by September. Reach Elizabeth Earl at eearl@peninsulaclarion.com.

which some residents didn’t necessarily see a need for. “I know when we first started looking to try to put the playground in there were a lot of people that said, ‘Well, there just isn’t anybody to use it,’” Vizenor said. “I had come from a parks background and I said, ‘If you build it, they’ll come.’ It’s been amazing to see. When we were playing bingo the other night, a group of teens came and played basketball all evening. I was so thrilled to see them.” Vizenor and Youngman both said that the winter population is growing as well. “The population drops in half in winter, but now there’s a lot of people moving in, and those of us that are used to hav-

ing our roads to ourselves are going to have to learn to share,” Vizenor said. To celebrate their growing community, Youngman said the Funny River Festival is a place where neighbors can catch up with each other while participating in games, tournaments, an auction and other events. “It’s more of an old-fashioned get-together,” Vizenor said The events begin Friday with a golf tournament at 10 a.m. and playing card tournaments for cribbage, nickels and pinochle at 6 p.m., with a split the pot raffle to end the night. Saturday starts at noon with an opening ceremony, more games, arts and craft vendors and a cake walk. There will be a

kid run for children 8 and under at 1 p.m. and a brisket dinner at 5:30 p.m., followed by bingo at 7:30 p.m. Sunday starts at 9 a.m. with a pancake breakfast, a live auction at noon, with the festival’s main raffle to follow. Main raffle prizes include a chest freezer filled with 175 pounds of meat, a Traeger grill, a chainsaw and more. There will daily snack bars and door prizes. Live music will be played throughout the weekend, as well. The festival is Aug. 3, 4 and 5 at the Funny River Community Center, 35850 Pioneer Access Road.

Cool down, chill out

P ioneer P otluck

Year – 1967 Alaska used leftover WWII Constellation Airplanes that were actually the workhorses in the air in the 50’s and 60’s. Alaska did not — and still does not — have many roads. We have many, many more than in the 50’s and 60’s, but flying to and from each community is still the way of life for lots of people today. There are a bunch of stories about flying in the old Constellations in Alaska – lovingly called the “Connies.” This amazing airplane served in three wars — WWII, Korean and Vietnam. For several years our retired Alaska Connie was on display in downtown Kenai. I have no idea where it went, but I bet it is in the Aero Museum in Anchorage. It always conjured up warm memories of all the times I flew on that great old plane. At a lunch party with my good friends, we were entertained with the story of a certain uncle and his nephew flying to Anchorage on the Connie. Uncle was not a good flier and avoided flying for every reason in the book. But this was a must flight and Nephew just happened to be on the same flight, so they sat together. This story is a firsthand tale! Being apprehensive and “scared out of his wits,” Uncle fortified himself with his favorite choice of liquid calm: a bottle of Calvert’s. As the plane took off and was in the air, the stewardess was walking down the aisle checking on the passengers to see if all the seat belts were in place and fastened. Seeing that Uncle did not have his seat belt fastened, she did her duty pertaining to the safety of the passengers and asked Uncle to fasten his seat belt. His response was loud and clear: “No, little girl, when this plane goes down, I am not towing it to shore!” Then he crossed his arms and settled back in his seat, the look of stubbornness on his face, period, end of subject! She said no more to him about fastening his seat belt. Uncle thinking he had won that argument was more than comfortable the rest of the 25-minute flight. (Note: To research the Lockheed Constellation, look at Wikipedia. There are pages and pages of interesting Constellation information. It was built in 1943. It hauled President Eisenhower around while he was President.) My own story about flying in this great airplane was in 1967, when I came to Alaska with my three kids, three suitcases and $100 in my pocket. We arrived in Anchorage, a wonderful flight on Alaska Airlines, from Denver, my first airplane flight ever! We were served Chicken Kiev, after being handed a very warm wet

Don’t chase ice cream trucks — making it at home is easy By ELIZABETH KARMEL Associated Press

Summer is synonymous with ice cream. And I think it would be safe to say that it is a universal experience. But making ice cream at home has changed since I was a child. When we were young, my sisters and our cousins made hand-cranked ice cream using a White Mountain Wooden Bucket Ice Cream Maker that used ice and rock salt to freeze the ice cream. My grandmother loved having her grandkids use the hand cranker. The wooden-bucket style ice-cream maker is still popular today and comes with an electric motor, and the option of the hand cranker for a nostalgic experience. My mother used the electric motor exclusively and when she wanted to make smaller quantities of ice cream, she used the electric machines with the inserts that you leave in the freezer until you are ready to make ice cream. I’ve used those models, but the truth is that I never have enough room to leave the insert in the freezer for 24 or more hours, and so I rarely make ice cream. But every summer, I still have a yearning to make my own ice cream. Since you can now buy ice cream machines that come with a compressor, I decided that this summer I was going to start making ice cream at home. With a self-refrigerating machine, you don’t have to plan in advance and remember to freeze the insert, and you can This July 28 photo shows homemade ice cream in Amagansett, N.Y.

Wake up fish flavor with a bright, acidic sauce By AMERICA’S TEST KITCHEN Associated Press

Sole piccata, a light and delicate dish that consists of lightly browned sole fillets bathed in a lemon, caper, and white wine-laced pan sauce, is a classic for a reason: The fresh, bright acidity of the sauce wakes up the flavor of the fish. To ensure our thin fillets were crisp and golden brown on the outside and moist and flavorful on the inside, we started with the coating. We produced the perfect crust without heavy eggs or bread crumbs by simply drying the fillets, seasoning them with salt and pepper, letting them sit for 5 minutes, then dredging them in flour. A nonstick skillet coated with a mixture of oil and butter prevented sticking and ensured that we had enough fat left to build our LemonCaper Pan Sauce. Flounder is a good substitute for sole. Try to purchase fillets that are of similar size. If using smaller fillets (3 ounces each), serve two fillets per

person and reduce the cooking time on the second side to about 1 minute. You will need to cook smaller fillets in three or four batches and wipe out the skillet with paper towels after the second and third batches to prevent any browned bits from scorching.

Green Beans with Tarragon Vinaigrette perfect for dinner on a busy night By KATIE WORKMAN Associated Press

There are green beans, and then there are green beans. After many years of cooking this vegetable, I’m here to say, freshness really counts. Luckily for us, we are in green bean season. Look for beans that are bright green, firm and perky. And because it’s the season, green beans are likely to be cheap. Bonus. Green beans can be sauteed, roasted or steamed. In the summer heat, I love to give them a quick boil or steam, and then drain them and transfer them to a bath of ice water to stop the cooking. That keeps them at a satisfying crispbut-tender texture. It also locks in that vivid emerald color, and makes green beans ideal for salads like this one. This herb dressing is bright and bracing, with a lovely anise-y flavor from the tarragon. Letting the shallots sit in the vinegar with tarragon for a few minutes before adding the remaining dressing ingredients allows the shallots to pickle ever so slightly, giving this very simple dish an extra layer of flavor.

Kosher salt and freshly ground pepper to taste Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. While the water is coming to a boil, fill a large bowl with ice water. In a small bowl, combine the vinegar, tarragon and shallots. Set aside. Plunge the beans into the boiling water and cook for about 4 minutes until just barely tender. Drain and drop them immediately into the bowl of ice water to stop the cooking. Let them cool for a few minutes, then drain well. Meanwhile, add the olive oil, and salt and pepper to the Green beans with tarragon mustard, shallot mixture and stir to combine. vinaigrette Turn the drained and cooled beans into a serving dish or bowl, drizzle Servings: 4 the dressing over them, and toss to Start to finish: 15 minutes 2 tablespoons white wine vinegar coat the beans.

But you can also take this concept and play with it all through the late summer/early fall green bean months. Pick a favorite dressing and toss it with the blanched and cooled green beans. If you’re feeling hurried or just want to keep things simple, some fresh lemon juice, a generous splash of good olive oil and a sprinkling of slightly coarse salt will give you a side dish to be proud of. And next time you are putting together an antipasti platter or some kind of nibble-y spread, remember these beans, which will add fresh flavor and color to the collection.
