In the news Tyonek fire consumes three structures

Firefighters have determined the 1,500-acre Tyonek fire had consumed, officials reported on Wednesday. The fire destroyed a cabin and two outbuildings, fire spokesman Pete Buist said. It had not reached the Beluga power station, which burns natural gas and provides power to Anchorage. “It’s an issue, but it’s not imminent,” he said. The fire moved south Tuesday had prompted a short evacuation of Tyonek. Winds dropped, residents returned to Tyonek and the fire became more active in the north toward Beluga, where just 20 people live. Three 20-person ground crews concentrated efforts on the north end, assisted by air tankers dropping retardant and three helicopters dropping buckets of water, Buist said. The Nikiski Fire Department worked on creating “defensible space” around cabins and a compressor station, Buist said. Far to the north in interior Alaska, 16 smokejumpers worked to protect buildings from a fire east of the Dalton Highway at the Yukon River Bridge. Structures west of the highway, including a restaurant and cabins, could be in the fire’s path if it crosses the highway. The fire Wednesday afternoon was a mile or two from the highway and the tranAlaska pipeline. It was burning west and could cross over the pipeline and reach the highway Wednesday night, Buist said. Wildfires have crossed the metal pipeline in the past, he said, without causing major damage. — The Associated Press

The sky above Kasilof glowed orange Wednesday as the Funny River Fire continued to burn a more than 10-mile strip of land stretching from Funny River Road in Soldotna down to Tustumena Lake. Firefighters estimate that more than 44,423 acres have been burned in the blaze.

Fire doubles to 44,000 acres By DAN BALMER and RASHAH McCHESNEY Peninsula Clarion

It has been three days since the first report of a five acre wildfire on a horse trail off of Funny River Road. The blaze had consumed more than 44,000 acres as of Wednesday — more than doubling in size in the span of 24 hours. As the wildfire spreads, it has burned an area more than 10 miles long and 6 miles wide — nearly twice the size of Manhattan Island — in the Kenai National Wildlife Refuge. Firefighters, emergency services and hotshot crews from all over the United States and Canada are maneu-

vering into position to continue battling the blaze. A small crew of about 48 Wednesday should burgeon to more than 100 by Thursday according to Alaska Department of Natural Resources — Division of Forestry officials. Brad Nelson, health and safety officer for Central Emergency Services said he learned the wildfire had reached 44,000 acres in size after a briefing at a command center in Skyview High School Wednesday at 6 p.m. The vast majority of the fire is burning to the east further into the Refuge, he said. “(The fire) did exactly what we were

hoping for,” he said. The fire is not currently threatening any structures and at its closest point to the Sterling Highway is burning nearly four miles away, Nelson said. That area is close to Mile 103 near Slikok Creek. While no evacuations have been ordered, the Kenai Peninsula Borough Emergency Management office sent out robo-calls to certain residents to provide information. People living along the Sterling Highway, from Sterling to Homer have reported thick clouds of smoke and ash covering cities, homes and the highway as the See FIRE, page A-7

A discussion about high groundwater issues flooded the Kenai Peninsula Borough Assembly meeting Tuesday night. Public comment about nonagenda topics sparked a conversation about the affects of the October 2013 flooding on Kalifornsky Beach Road. Three K-Beach area residents attended the meeting asking for action to alleviate problems that are still ongoing from the event. David Yragui said he built Buoy Street about 10 years ago to borough specifications. He said the water is still backed up on the street. And the groundwater in the area is full with no way to get out. He said he hired a hydrologist and was permitted to do some ditching, which drained “massive quantities” of water. “But as it stands right now, Buoy Street still isn’t fixed,” he said. Toby Burke, who has lived on Buoy Street for eight years, said the street has had drainage issues as long as he has lived there. He said crews have done “Band-Aid” fixes throughout the years, but in October, he and his family were almost flooded out. “We’re just looking for basic, functioning roads that are up to standard and that includes See ACTION, page A-7

Peninsula schools celebrate last day By KAYLEE OSOWSKI, RASHAH McCHESNEY and KELLY SULLIVAN Peninsula Clarion

As smoke from the fire burning south of Soldotna filled the sky Wednesday, smiles and laughter from students ready for summer brightened the halls, classrooms and playgrounds of area schools.

Packing up At Skyview High School, students spent the last day maneuvering among boxes, pallets, chairs, desks and classrooms turned inside out as staff at the school prepare to move into other buildings in Soldotna.

Skyview will be converted to a middle school during the 2014-15 school year while current students will be sent to Soldotna High School and a new freshmen-only school in Soldotna. “I’m not happy about it,” said sophomore Tralessa Mahan. She and Chris Casares, sophomore, roamed the hallways of Skyview picking up trash and helping teachers move. As Mahan hauled a yellow, wheeled trash can behind her, she jumped up onto a cart that Casares was pulling and the two laughed as they made their way to the school’s elevator, dodging stacks of boxes and other students. “We don’t know where we’re

going to be next year,” Mahan said. “My older brother graduated from here. My dad graduated from here.” Later that day firefighters would be using the emptied school to establish a central command station to combat the Funny River fire.

Kenai council debates Last laugh for Class of 2014 legislative process stage, Syverson had been giv- on a memorable senior By DAN BALMER Peninsula Clarion

An ordinance that would have changed how the Kenai City Council and city administration handle the legislative process failed at Tuesday’s meeting. With no public in attendance and gray smoke billowing in the sky outside, the city council spent nearly 90 minutes of discussion on two ordinances sponsored by council member Mike Boyle. The first one would have required all ordinances and resolutions to be sponsored by at least one coun-

cil member. Boyle said because the council is a legislative body, council members should be involved in all city business items from the beginning. “It is the function of council to pass legislation,” he said. “So much has been passed without the council’s name attached, we would remiss in doing our jobs.” While Boyle did not attach a supporting memo to his ordinance, Kenai City Manager Rick Koch sent out a memo to the council in opposition See KENAI, page A-7

The Soldotna High School class of 2014 had one more good-natured prank for their Principal Todd Syverson at their graduation ceremony at the Regional Sports Complex Wednesday. Salutatorian Makayla Wong said the first student to walk up and shake Mr. Syverson’s hand handed him a marble and said, ‘We know you lost your marbles with this class so here are all your marbles back.’ By the time the last graduate crossed the C

en 95 marbles. “They were having some fun with me,” he said. “They thought it would be a good prank on the principal and I enjoyed it. They were not a stressful class at all. We had a great year and a great sendoff.” The commencement ceremony featured musical performances from Wong and fellow graduate Taylor Walkden and speeches from co-valedictorians Julie Litchfield and Gabrielle Saldivar among other presentations as students reflected

year. Saldivar thanked all her peers and teachers for tolerating her in class and gave sage advice as graduates begin their next chapter in life. “The meaning of success is being happy with who you are,” she said. “None of your best days should be in high school. They should be ahead of you.” Soldotna High History teacher Megan Murphy described the 2014 class as a humorous bunch who loved to laugh and have fun but can See LAUGH, page A-3

Cleaner air, higher electric bills? By JONATHAN FAHEY AP Energy Writer

NEW YORK — Electricity prices are probably on their way up across much of the U.S. as coal-fired plants, the dominant source of cheap power, shut down in response to environmental regulations and economic forces. New and tighter pollution rules and tough competition from cleaner sources such as natural gas, wind and solar will lead to the closings of dozens of coal-burning plants across 20 states over the next three years. And many of those that stay open will need expensive retrofits. Because of these and other factors, the Energy Department predicts retail power prices will rise 4 percent on average this year, the biggest increase since 2008. By 2020, prices are expected to climb an additional 13 percent, a forecast that does not include the costs of coming

Global temperature ties record high for month of April WASHINGTON (AP) — Once again, the world hit record heat levels. The average global temperature last month tied the hottest April on record four years ago. The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration on Tuesday say last month’s average temperature was 58.1 degrees Fahrenheit (14.5 degrees Celsius). That was 1.39 degrees F (0.77 C) warmer than the average last century. The last time the globe’s monthly temperature was cooler than normal was February 1985. NOAA scientist Jessica Blunden said April’s heat was driven especially by Siberia and Eurasia. She said the United States and Canada were the few exceptions. Canada was a bit cooler than normal and the United States was a tad warmer than normal. C

environmental rules. The Obama administration, state governments and industry are struggling to balance this push for a cleaner environment with the need to keep the grid reliable and prevent prices from rocketing too much higher. “We’re facing a set of questions that are new to the industry,” says Clair Moeller, who oversees transmission and technology for the Midcontinent Independent System Operator, which coordinates much of the electric grid between Minnesota and Louisiana. Coal is the workhorse of the U.S. power system. It is used to produce 40 percent of the nation’s electricity, more than any other fuel. Because it is cheap and abundant and can be stored on power plant grounds, it helps keep prices stable and power flowing even when demand spikes. Natural gas, which accounts for 26 percent of the nation’s electricity, has dropped in price

and become more plentiful because of the fracking boom. But its price is on the rise again, and it is still generally more expensive to produce electricity with gas than with coal. Also, gas isn’t stored at power plants because the cost is prohibitive. That means it is subject to shortages and soaring prices. During the brutally cold and snowy winter that just ended, utilities in several states struggled to secure natural gas because so much was also needed to heat homes. Some utilities couldn’t run gas-fired plants at all, and power prices soared 1,000 percent in some regions. As Indiana has reduced its reliance on coal to 84 percent from 97 percent over the last decade, its power prices rose far faster than those of its neighbors and the rest of the country. That makes things tough on customers, especially big power users like Rochester Metal Products Corp., in Rochester,

Indiana. The hulking furnaces it uses to melt scrap iron consume enough electricity to power 7,000 households. “As Indiana’s price of electricity becomes less and less competitive, so do we,” says Doug Smith, the company’s maintenance and engineering manager. Burning coal releases toxic chemicals, soot and smogforming chemicals, as well as twice the amount of carbon dioxide that natural gas produces. The Supreme Court last month gave an important approval to one Environmental Protection Agency clean-air rule. That cleared the way for a new rule expected to be announced by President Barack Obama early next month. This rule, the first to govern emissions of carbon dioxide from existing power plants, could accelerate the move away from coal — if it survives the legal and political challenges that are sure to come.

Every year she listens to the seniors boast about their impending vistory against the teachers. So far Roza hasn’t seen it pan out. She said the only way to win is to practice before hand, and plans to make sure she is ready. “The teachers play every year,” Roza’s friend Mikaila Colton said. “So they’re better.” Seniors Gage Carmody and Cory Carr chose seats for the game inside the chain link fence, behind home base. The teachers were winning by a large margin, Carmody said with a laugh. Even if the entire graduating class of 36 students had shown up, every-

She is very intelligent. It will be interesting to see where these kids end up.

So I switched to physics.” McElroy said he has been offered a full-ride scholarship to Cal Poly Pomona University in Pomona, California to study chemical engineering. He was humble about his academic accomplishments, which included National Honor Society, 10 years in swing choir and was a sprinter for the track and field team, among others. His grandmother Diane Ireland, who raised him since he was 9 after the death of his mother, did not hold back her pride.

She plans to major in civil engineering and minor in chemistry. Wong’s family adorned her with candy lays, flower lays and money lays to wear around her neck, which she said is a Polynesian tradition to give lays after graduation.

What Others Say

Racism, sexism need different prism for viewing Now and then, we choose the most

convenient prism through which to view our most serious social problems, however superficially, because it comes packaged in equal doses of celebrity and infamy. There is a drug crisis in most states, but it hardly registers until Rob Ford’s drooling visage fills the TV screen or Philip Seymour Hoffman drops dead. This country has a mass shooting problem, with 4,500 dead and 19,600 more bleeding on ER tables so far this year, but the world doesn’t notice until Plaxico Burress puts a hole in his own thigh. We cannot educate children in many cities, but the tragedy goes unnoticed until some altruistic billionaire drops $100 million on Newark. So now there is fresh dialogue about racism and sexism, spilling into the mainstream media with an inadvertent shove from Donald Sterling and Jill Abramson, but to discuss either as a cause celebre’ is to trivialize the real issues. Abramson, a journalist as subtle as a blowtorch, was accused of unspecified acts of brusque behavior, committed among the princely hierarchy at the New York Times. But the theme that had the most traction was an unsubstantiated claim involving a lower salary than the one earned by her predecessor. Indeed, Abramson might be a sympathetic figure. But gender justice isn’t so much about an executive making $450,000 as it is about pay equity in America, an issue that was muted the moment the U.S. Senate blocked a vote last month, and about having the worst maternity leave policy in the world. Moreover, racism isn’t merely the purview of dotty old men such as Sterling. Racism is common cause in our political culture — not only in Cliven Bundy’s America, but in the institutional marginalization of minorities by our courts and our laws, which conspire to produce segregated schools and voting restrictions and countless wars waged on the poor. Theologian Paul Tillich said if we don’t develop a keener eye for racism or sexism or homophobia, and address them only when the news cycle gives us no other choice, we’re mistaking moralism for morality. The real systemic sins are hiding inside the latter. Yet the cycle spins on. — The Star-Ledger, New Jersey, May 19

CLARION P

By GARRY TRUDEAU

Warning: literature ahead

The latest politically correct fashion on college campus is just insipid enough to catch on. It is the so-called trigger warning applied to any content that students might find traumatizing, even works of literature. The trigger warning first arose on feminist websites as a way to alert victims of sexual violence to possibly upsetting discussions of rape (that would “trigger” memories of their trauma), but has gained wider currency. The student government of the University of California at Santa Barbara passed a resolution calling for professors to include trigger warnings in their syllabi. The New York Times reports that students at schools from the University of Michigan to George Washington University have requested the warnings. A student at Rutgers University proposed a trigger warning for “The Great Gatsby” about “a variety of scenes that reference gory, abusive and misogynistic violence” (not to mention binge drinking, reckless driving, profligate spending and gross social climbing). Oberlin College, long the nation’s leader in the earnestly ridiculous, seeks to be the FDA of political correctness, with warnings about classroom material nearly as comprehensive as the litany of side effects included in advertisements for a new drug. The school’s Office of Equity Concerns published a document for faculty (since pulled for more work after professors complained) urging them to “understand triggers, avoid unnecessary triggers, and provide trigger warnings.” It exhorts professors to “be aware of racism, classism,

sexism, heterosexism, cissexism [i.e., prejudice against the transgendered], ableism, and other issues of privilege and oppression.” Yes, the Chinua Achebe anti-colonial novel “Things Fall Rich Lowry Apart” is a “triumph of literature that everyone in the world should read,” according to the guide. But there’s a downside — it could “trigger readers who have experienced racism, colonialism, religious persecution, violence, suicide and more.” By this standard, most of literature is “triggering.” “Beloved” is triggering for anyone who has lived in a haunted house. “Mansfield Park” is triggering for anyone who has been sent to live with wealthy relations and subsequently encountered messy romantic entanglements. “Les Miserables” is triggering for anyone who has ever shoplifted bread. “The Aeneid” is triggering for anyone who has ever been caught in the whirlpool of Charybdis, or on the island of the Cyclops. “Moby-Dick” must be considered ableist, with its unflattering depiction of a peglegged captain, and highly specie-ist (just ask the whales). Where would the trigger warning even begin for “The Confessions of Nat Turner,” or “Absalom, Absalom!,” twisted, deeply disturbing works about the American slave South that are transcendent works of literature? Needless to say, there’s always a role for

good taste. If a professor is going to show, say, a film depicting graphic violence, an informal heads-up to students is only common sense. The problem with the trigger warning as conceived by its most fervent supporters is its presumption that people can be harmed by works of literature; that every student is a victim of something and on the verge of breaking down; and that ultimately students have to be protected from anything departing from their comfort zones. It is profoundly infantilizing. If someone can’t read “Crime and Punishment” (warning: includes scenes of near-madness, violence, sexual exploitation, cruelty to animals and smoking), or “Hamlet” (warning: includes poisoning, drowning, stabbing and intense intra-familial conflict) without fear of being offended, he or she should major in accounting. Of course, “The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn” is an obvious candidate for a trigger warning — for anyone who has experienced strong racial language while floating on a multiracial raft down the Mississippi River. Before the novel starts, Mark Twain includes a little note for readers, “Persons attempting to find a motive in this narrative will be prosecuted; persons attempting to find a moral in it will be banished; persons attempting to find a plot in it will be shot.” Just imagine what he would prescribe for anyone attempting a trigger warning.

Republicans learning from past failures By CHARLES BABINGTON Associated Press

WASHINGTON — Tuesday’s elections are the best evidence yet that Republicans are avoiding previous mistakes and improving their chances of controlling the Senate during President Barack Obama’s final two years in office. GOP voters again chose solidly conservative nominees while rejecting the most extreme and outlandish types who led the party to painful losses in 2010 and 2012. The simple way to view this year’s results, thus far, is to say “establishment” Republicans are outperforming tea party insurgents. That’s largely true. But it blurs the extent to which nearly all Republican candidates — including some who have been in Congress for decades — have shifted rightward to stay in step with ardently conservative voters who helped create the tea party in 2009 and still dominate GOP primaries. The differences between tea party and non-tea party Republicans are shrinking. Often it’s merely tone and experience that separate them. Tone and experience matter, however, and Tuesday’s GOP voters chose the less bombastic and unpredictable conservatives in most cases. In Kentucky, Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell easily dispatched tea party challenger Matt Bevin. As a 30-year senator and party leader, McConnell is about as establishment as they come. He has predicted that he and other mainstream Republicans will “crush” tea party candidates this year. Bevin initially excited anti-establishment Republicans. But his campaign eventually collapsed under rookie mistakes and McConnell’s overwhelming advantage in money, experience and organization. In Georgia, Republican voters rejected the two most outspoken tea party proponents, Reps. Paul Broun and Phil Gingrey. They set up a July 22 Senate runoff between two men who constantly emphasize their conservative credentials but leaven their rhetoric by wooing corporate support: Dollar General CEO David Perdue and Rep. Jack Kingston claimed the top two spots Tuesday and now begin a twomonth runoff campaign. Establishment Republicans once feared that Broun, who called embryology and evolution “lies straight from the pit of hell,” would win the nomination and become the type of gaffe-prone, over-the-top candidate who killed great GOP Senate chances in Delaware, Indiana, Missouri and other states in 2010 and 2012. In Oregon, Republicans chose pediatric neurosurgeon Monica Wehby, who supports abortion rights, to run against firstterm Democratic Sen. Jeff Merkley this fall. Her opponents included state Rep. Jason Conger, who was endorsed by the Tea Party Nation and former presidential candidate Rick Santorum. C

Connell. So far, Republican primary voters aren’t handing those types of gifts to Democrats. That suggests they’ve learned the hard lessons of 2010 and 2012, when non-mainstream nominees lost winnable races. Now the question is whether all Republican candidates — not just Constitutionquoting tea partyers — have moved too far right for moderate voters in November’s general elections.

Arkansas’ two uncontested Senate primaries officially set up a fierce November showdown between two-term Democratic Sen. Mark Pryor and freshman Republican Rep. Tom Cotton. Tuesday’s Republican elections continued earlier trends from states such as North Carolina. There, Republicans nominated state House Speaker Thom Tillis for the Senate, rejecting a tea party leader and a Baptist minister who were making their Charles Babington covers Congress and first runs for office. politics for The Associated Press. North Carolina Democrats scoff at the notion that Tillis is “moderate,” citing his self-described “conservative revolution” in the closely divided state.

Small business on the go?

Smartphones help with running an enterprise By JOSEPH PISANI AP Business Writer

NEW YORK — Avi Shenkar runs his four hair salons from the palm of his hand. Work for the owner of Blo/Out Blow Dry Bars begins as soon as he grabs his iPhone at 6 a.m. while still in bed. He scrolls through messages on group texting app GroupMe to see if any of his stylists are running late or need the day off. He pumps pop and electronic dance music through the wireless speakers in his stores using an app for Sonos, a brand of wireless speakers. And he can see what’s going on in each location by watching video on his phone from cameras with the Samsung iPolis app, a video camera security system. “The phone is always with me,” says Shenkar, whose salons do blowouts for $35. “It’s an extension of me.” Smartphones have become vital for onthe-go entrepreneurs. Apps aimed at small business owners allow them to pay bills, update websites, market their companies, reach out to customers and keep in touch with employees from anywhere. Some owners say their smartphones makes it easier for them to build a side business while keeping a full-time job or step away from the company when needed. They’re also a big help for store owners, like Shenkar, who can’t be at every location at once. “Typically, I drive from one store to another,” says Shenkar, who has three stores in Philadelphia and one in Atlantic City, which is only open in the spring and summer months. Last year, he dropped his iPhone and shattered it before a drive to the Atlantic City shop. “I had to immediately rush over to the Apple Store,” he says. “I didn’t care what the price was, I just got it.” Noah Chaimberg is also attached to his smartphone. He started Heatonist.com, a website that sells specialty hot sauces, in November. He still works a full-time marketing job in New York and relies on his iPhone to keep him connected to his business.

In this May 19 photo, Avi Shenkar, owner of Blo/Out Blow Dry Bars, poses for a photograph with his iPhone, in Philadelphia. Smartphones have become vital for onthe-go entrepreneurs such as Shenkar who runs his four hair salons from the palm of his hand.

An app from online store creator Bigcommerce alerts him when an order is made on Heatonist.com. He pays suppliers using an app from payment processor PayPal. He also frequently uploads photos of hot sauce bottles to photo-sharing app Instagram, which helps him attract new customers. When he goes to food festivals to sell carrot curry or red chili lime hot sauces, he turns his iPhone into a cash register with Square, a small device the size of a quarter that plugs into his phone and lets customers buy the sauces with their debit or credit cards. “I’m constantly on the go,” Chaimberg says. Some entrepreneurs don’t even have to be in the same state to run their business. Kimberly Davison, who co-owns women’s clothing store Goodbuy Girls in Nashville, Tennessee, moved to Los Angeles in April to earn some extra cash as a freelance marketing consultant to pay off a $10,000 dentist bill. She also wanted “to have fun”

after running the store for nearly five years. Her co-owner, who drops by the shop a few days a week, was skeptical about the move, Davison says, but the arrangement is working. Davison updates the store’s website with an app from website and blog publishing platform WordPress on her Nokia Lumia smartphone. She gives out a Google Voice phone number to customers so that they can text her if they want to order a T-shirt or a vintage pair of cowboy boots. She uses Google’s calendar to schedule employee work hours and special events, like if a country artist plans to stop by for a fitting. And she uses Instagram to post photos of new items she finds after meeting with clothing wholesalers in Los Angeles. Often, customers ask to buy clothing straight from Instagram. That’s when she’ll respond with a link to the store’s PayPal account to pay for the clothing. “I literally do this sitting on the beach sometimes,” says Davison. “It’s crazy.”

Emily Post Institute updates business etiquette By LEANNE ITALIE Associated Press

NEW YORK — Much has changed about workplace and business etiquette since Emily Post was dispensing advice herself. Post died in 1960, but her family has carried on her love of good manners through the Emily Post Institute in Burlington, Vermont. The latest from the Posts is a third edition of “The Etiquette Advantage in Business,” released this month by William Morrow. Great-great-granddaughter Lizzie Post said an update was needed to take into account the explosion in social media and digital communications, along with a more casual work environment in many fields. Some highlights:

Hugs and kisses

down the line they might have to say, ‘Look, we can’t work “I’m always surprised at with you anymore.’” how much there is of this when I’m doing business. I’m getting Brainstorming hugs and a kiss on the cheek as Such think sessions have an a hello. Usually it’s after the very first meeting. The very etiquette all their own. Post warns first meeting is still usually a against passively trying to control through rejection, where a handshake.” But Post is a fan of hugs and participant brings no ideas to the kisses on the job after the first table but spends the time poohmeeting, depending on your poohing the ideas of others. “Sure, there are going to be field. “I like feeling like I’m doing business with a person who some ideas that you knock down I have a personal connection for a certain reason, whether with. I know many people who they conflict with a contract or want to keep professional pro- it’s nothing like what the client fessional and they don’t want is going to want, that sort of to be hugging somebody that thing,” she said.

‘Being the person who’s saying no, no, no, no all the time does not ... make you smarter than everybody else.’ — Lizzie Post “But a brainstorming session needs to be the kind of open environment where you let things marinate, you let them percolate. It’s one of those places where being the negative Nelly, being the person who’s saying no, no, no, no all the time does not make you a team player and it does not make you smarter than everybody else. For me,

Social media and smartphones When you make a mistake, ‘fess up. Post recalled a recent radio show call-in question that went something like this: “’I butt-dialed all of my business contacts while on a 10-hour hike over the weekend. What do I do and is there a term other than butt-dial that I can use?’ We say purse- or pocket-dial work, too, and apologize immediately using whatever communication you usually use for each contact.” Generally, she said, avoid the urge to get all loosey-goosey. Use email, private message, text and voice mail very, very carefully. “Unless you would feel comfortable posting it on a bulletin board in your town or screaming it to everybody that you know, don’t do it,” Post said. C

that is the most annoying person to have on a team.”

Working from home You may know exactly how you want this to go, Post said, but your friends and neighbors may have other ideas. “It’s really important to lay boundaries with friends, lov-

ers, neighbors. Let them know, ‘This really is my work day and I do need to focus and be focused and dropping by just isn’t something I can accommodate. I’d love to see you at 5.’” Does that go for spouses, too? Is it OK for an at-office spouse to leave chores for the home-office spouse? “No, not without talking about it first. You need to talk about it ahead of time, because that really is a work day,” she said. Post advises making a schedule and sticking to it. And she’s not an advocate of staying in PJs. “Take a shower, get dressed. It’s still your work day.”

Nation & World China signs deal for Russian gas

Around the World Boko Haram attacks 3 Nigerian villages as people search for bodies in Jos JOS, Nigeria — Boko Haram assaulted three villages in northern Nigeria, killing 48 people, residents said Wednesday, hours after twin bombings claimed at least 118 lives in this central city in an attack the government blamed on the Islamic extremists. One of the villages attacked between Tuesday night and early Wednesday is near the town of Chibok, where more than 300 schoolgirls were kidnapped last month by Boko Haram, according to residents and a state intelligence agent who spoke on condition of anonymity because he is not authorized to give information to reporters. Apagu Maidaga of Alagarno said residents of that village hid in the bush and watched while the extremists set ablaze their homes of thatch-roofed mud huts. “We saw our village up in flames as we hid in the bush waiting for the dawn; we lost everything,” he told The Associated Press in a telephone call. In Jos, where at least 118 people were killed in twin bomb attacks Tuesday on a bustling bus terminal and a market, residents joined rescue workers armed with body bags in looking for missing loved ones.

Obama pledges to repair veterans’ health care, punish any wrongdoing WASHINGTON — With outrage mounting over veterans’ health care, President Barack Obama declared Wednesday that allegations of misconduct at VA hospitals will not be tolerated, and he left open the possibility that Secretary Eric Shinseki, a disabled war veteran, could be held to account. “I will not stand for it — not as commander in chief but also not as an American,” Obama said following an Oval Office meeting with the embattled Shinseki. Congress moved to keep up the pressure on the administration, with the House set for an evening vote on a measure that would give the VA secretary more authority to fire or demote senior hospital executives. The White House said it supported the goal of seeking greater accountability at the VA but had unspecified concerns about the legislation. The growing furor surrounding the Department of Veterans Affairs centers on allegations of treatment delays and preventable deaths at VA hospitals. The department’s inspector general’s office says 26 facilities are being investigated nationwide, including a Phoenix hospital facing allegations that 40 people died while waiting for treatment and staff kept a secret list of patients in order to hide delays in care. The allegations have raised fresh concerns about the administration’s management of a department that has been struggling to keep up with the influx of new veterans returning home from the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan. Obama’s comments Wednesday — his first on the matter in more than two weeks — signaled a greater urgency by the White House to keep the matter from spiraling into a deeper political problem in a midterm election year.

California kidnapping, sex assault victim found alive after 10 years; captor arrested SANTA ANA, Calif. — A woman who was 15 when she disappeared 10 years ago from her California home has contacted police and says she was held against her will for years. The Santa Ana Police Department said Wednesday that they have booked her captor, 41-year-old Isidro Garcia, on suspicion of kidnapping for rape, lewd acts with a minor and false imprisonment. Police say she was dating Garcia in 2004, when she was 15. Police say that after assaulting her mother, Garcia drugged the girl and drove her to a house in Compton where he locked her in a garage. Over the coming months, police say he provided the girl with fake identification and used physical and emotional abuse to prevent her from fleeing.

Libya’s renegade general calls for presidential council to take over power TRIPOLI, Libya — Gen. Khalifa Hifter has been waiting decades for his moment. A top general under Moammar Gadhafi, he was tainted by a disastrous defeat in a war against neighboring Chad. Exiled in the United States, he helped lead the opposition and vowed to return one day. Since Gadhafi’s 2011 ouster he has struggled for a role, distrusted by other generals. Now his time may have come. He is presenting himself as Libya’s potential savior after nearly two years of chaos in which unruly militias are exercising power over elected officials and assassinating dozens of soldiers and police. In less than a week since Hifter surfaced, supporters flocked to his self-professed campaign to crush Islamist militias and their backers in parliament and to bring stability to the country. But there are fears his ultimate goal is to make himself into a new Gadhafi, and his democratic credentials are far from established.

Arrests of 6 in video dancing to ‘Happy’ highlight tensions over change in Iran TEHRAN, Iran — An Internet video of six young Iranian men and women dancing to Pharrell Williams’ “Happy” has led to their arrests, showing how far Tehran will go to halt what it deems to be decadent Western behavior — despite the views of its moderate president. Criticism outside Iran was predictably swift Wednesday, with calls for freedom for the jailed youths zipping around social media. Williams tweeted: “It’s beyond sad these kids were arrested for trying to spread happiness.” A tweet posted Wednesday evening on President Hassan Rouhani’s account seemed to address the controversy, even if it stopped short of mentioning the video or the arrests directly. “(hash)Happiness is our people’s right,” it said. “We shouldn’t be too hard on behaviors caused by joy.” The widely followed account appears to reflect Rouhani’s positions. Iranian media in the past quoted Rouhani as saying the account is authentic. At the same time, a senior Rouhani adviser said last year that the president had such an account only during the presidential campaign and that Rouhani’s views are represented by his official website. — The Associated Press

By LOUISE WATT and VLADIMIR ISACHENKOV Associated Press

SHANGHAI — China signed a landmark $400 billion deal Wednesday to buy natural gas from Russia, binding Moscow more closely to Beijing at a time when President Vladimir Putin’s relations with the West have deteriorated to the lowest point ever. China’s president also called for an Asian security arrangement that would include Russia and Iran and exclude the United States. The 30-year gas deal, worked out during a two-day visit by Putin to China, gives Moscow an economic boost at a time when Washington and the European Union have imposed sanctions against Russia and Europe has threatened to cut its gas imports to punish the Kremlin over the crisis in Ukraine. The agreement enables Russia to expand the market for its gas, which now goes mostly to Europe. It “opened the door for Russia to enter into Asia’s gas market,” said Keun-Wook Paik, senior research fellow at the Oxford Institute for Energy Studies. Politically, the deal provides “breathing space for Russia,” Paik said. “Russia, and Putin, can demonstrate it’s not completely isolated because of the Ukraine crisis. Russia has demonstrated that they have a very reliable strategic partnership with China.”

‘It is not a surprise to us that countries that are neighbors communicating about how to work together, whether that’s through an economic partnership or otherwise.’ — Jen Psaki, State Department spokeswoman For China, the world’s second-largest economy, the deal will help ease gas shortages and curb its reliance on coal. U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry noted that Russia and China have been trying to work out an energy agreement for 10 years and said the deal “isn’t a sudden response to what’s been going on” in Ukraine. “And if the world benefits as a result of that, that’s fine,” he said. Similarly, State Department spokeswoman Jen Psaki said of the prospect of closer RussiaChina relations: “It is not a surprise to us that countries that are neighbors communicating about how to work together, whether that’s through an economic partnership or otherwise.” The agreement calls for Russian government-controlled Gazprom to supply state-owned China National Petroleum Corp. with 38 billion cubic meters of gas annually, Gazprom spokesman Sergey Kupriyanov told The Associated Press. That would represent about a quarter of China’s current annual gas consumption of nearly 150 bil-

lion cubic meters. Gas is due to begin flowing to China as early as 2018. The contract is worth $400 billion, Gazprom CEO Alexei Miller told Russian news agencies. That is greater than the gross domestic product of South Africa. U.S. Treasury Secretary Jacob Lew had appealed to China during a visit last week to avoid taking steps that might offset the West’s sanctions against Russia over its lightning annexation of Crimea in March. However, American officials have acknowledged China’s pressing need for energy. The contract is “particularly important” at a time when Europe has threatened to cut gas imports and reduce its dependence on Russia because of the Ukraine crisis, Alexander Lukin, a deputy head of the Russian Diplomatic Academy under the country’s Foreign Ministry, was quoted as saying by the RIA Novosti news agency. “We will be able to show to Europe that we have other customers,” Lukin said. Alexei Pushkov, a Kremlin

ally who is head of the international affairs committee of the Russian parliament’s lower house, said on Twitter: “The 30-year gas contract with China is of strategic significance. Obama should give up the policy of isolating Russia: It will not work.” Putin met on Tuesday with Chinese President Xi Jinping while gas negotiations continued in private. The Russian leader’s visit is a “major step toward a strategic partnership of the two nations,” said Mikhail Margelov, head of the foreign affairs committee in the upper house of the Russian parliament, according to RIA Novosti. The Ukraine crisis and Western sanctions on Russia had raised expectations Moscow would compromise to secure the gas deal. The price appears to be closer to the level Russia wanted, according to analyst Xizhou Zhou of IHS Energy. In exchange, the two sides dropped a requirement for prepayment that was a feature of Chinese purchases of Russian oil, he said. China and Russia have been negotiating the deal for more than a decade but had been hung up over the price. Russia will invest $55 billion in fulfilling the contract, while China will invest at least $20 billion, Putin told Russian reporters in Shanghai. He said the gas price would be based on a formula linked to that of oil and oil products.

Airlines should disclose bag and seat fees By JOAN LOWY Associated Press

WASHINGTON — Passengers love the idea, but airlines hate it. The government wants to require that travelers be told upfront about basic services that aren’t included in the price of a ticket and how much extra they’ll cost. The Transportation Department proposed Wednesday that passengers be provided detailed information on fees for a first checked bag, a second checked bag, advance seat assignments and carry-on bags. The rules would apply whether passengers bought tickets on the phone, in person or online — and not just from airline websites. Airlines that want their tickets to remain available through travel agents and online ticketing services would have to provide them information on fees for basic services, too, something most have been reluctant to do.

The idea is to prevent consumers from being lured by low advertised airfares, only to be surprised later by high fees for services once considered part of the ticket price. Airlines currently are required to disclose only bag fees, and even then they don’t have to provide an exact price. Some provide a wide range of possible fees in complex charts. “A customer can buy a ticket for $200 and find themselves with a hidden $100 baggage fee, and they might have turned down a $250 ticket with no baggage fee but the customer was never able to make that choice,” Transportation Secretary Anthony Foxx said in an interview. But adopting the changes would be the wrong choice, said a trade association for the airline industry. The “proposal overreaches and limits how free markets work,” Airlines for America said in a statement. And it predicted “negative con-

sequences.” Under the proposal, fees would have to be specific to the advertised airfare. Any frequent-flier privileges would also have to be factored into the price if the airfare is advertised on an airline website and the passenger supplies identifying information. The proposal would prohibit “unfair and deceptive” practices by airfare search tools, such as ranking flights by some airlines ahead of others without disclosing that bias to consumers. The rule doesn’t cover fees for early boarding, curbside check-in and other services regarded as optional. The government also wants to expand its definition of a “ticket agent” so that consumer protection rules also apply to online flight search tools like Kayak and Google’s Flight Search, even though they don’t actually sell tickets. Many consumers are unable to determine the true cost of a

ticket because fees are often hard to find or decipher, the government says. “The more you arm the consumer with information, the better the consumer’s position to make choices,” said Foxx. The public has 90 days to comment on the proposal. Foxx said he hopes the rule will become final within the next year. The proposal is the latest of several clashes between the Obama administration and airlines over passenger rights. For instance, the industry is backing a bill recently passed by a House committee that would effectively nullify a rule adopted in 2011 that requires airlines to include taxes and government fees in advertised airfares so that consumers can see the full price of a ticket. The new government effort is partly a response to changes in industry business strategy since 2008, when carriers started unbundling their services, beginning with checked bags.

EBay asks users to change password after breach By MAE ANDERSON AP Retail Writer

NEW YORK — E-commerce site eBay is asking users to change their passwords after a cyberattack compromised a company database containing customers’ names, encrypted passwords, email addresses, physical addresses, phone numbers and dates of birth. The company said Wednesday that there is no evidence that any financial or credit card information was stolen and no sign that the breach has resulted in unauthorized activity for its 145 million active users. EBay says its investigation is active and it can’t comment on the specific number of accounts affected, but says the number could be large. Cyberattackers stole a small number of employee log-in credentials that gave access to eBay’s corporate network, the company said. The San Jose, California-based company is working with law enforcement to investigate the attack. The database was hacked sometime between late February and early March, but compromised employee log-in credentials were first detected two weeks ago. EBay owns electronic payment service PayPal, but eBay C

says there is no evidence PayPal information was hacked, since that data is stored separately. The attack follows several other high-profile data security incidents, including a massive breach at Target stores and the recent discovery of the

“Heartbleed.” computer security flaw. Heartbleed is a point of weakness in a key piece of security technology used by more than 500,000 websites that had been exposing online passwords and other sensitive data to potential theft for more than two years.

And during Target’s data breach last year, hackers stole about 40 million debit and credit card numbers and personal information for 70 million people. Shares of eBay Inc. fell 8 cents to $51.88 in Wednesday’s trading.

fire spreads. “It was a multi-fold operation to let people know what a reverse 911 call would look like so an evacuation call would not be a surprise,” Nelson said. “It also let us know it is working correctly. It killed two birds with one stone.” After the fire reached Tustumena Lake Tuesday, it could no longer burn straight south and instead spread along the shoreline burning to the east and west, said Andy Alexandrou, public information officer with the Division of Forestry. “It can’t go any further south unless it wants to burn on water,” he said. On the southeastern side along the shore of Tustumena Lake, the fire is still about four miles from the Bear Creek subdivision where 10 cabins remote wilderness cabins stand, Alexandrou said. The two priority residential areas for firefighters to protect are Kasilof to the west of the fire and Funny River Road to the north. Nelson said crews that worked all day Wednesday would rest while CES crews patrol Funny River Road and the Sterling Highway in Kasilof. Crews are using bulldozers in both areas to hold the fire line after Division of Forestry and CES worked overnight to keep the fire from crossing near Mile 7 of Funny River Road. While some reported that the fire had crossed the road early Wednesday morning, Alexan-

because the ordinance would bog down the process of dayto-day city business, he said. A summary of city manager sponsored ordinances and resolutions from the previous three years came out to 342, compared to 48 from the mayor and council members during the same period. Koch referenced the majority of ordinances and resolutions are administrative in nature and he listed nine examples like budget items or permits. Council member Bob Molloy offered an amendment to the ordinance with the exception that the council delegates authority to the city manager for such administrative policies. While the amendment passed 4-3, a majority of the council still had reservations about the effect of the ordinance. Council member Tim Navarre said the code would raise a political and legal issues and he didn’t see a problem with the present set-up. “If someone can tell me where the conflict is, maybe I could get behind it but I just don’t see it,” he said. “I see it only would create problems. We hired the administration to do their jobs and this would slow the process down.” Mayor Pat Porter said the ordinance is the height of mi-

drou said that embers had blown across the road from the main body of the fire, but had been extinguished immediately. The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service worked to reduce the buildup of beetle-killed spruce, a dry timber, along the Funny River Road in an attempt to stop the fire’s advance. Two water scooping planes sent into the area from Canada have arrived, cleared customs in Anchorage and will be ready to dump water by Thursday, Nelson said. Fire control operations changed hands from the Division of Forestry to a Type 2 Incident Management team, a specialized collection of firefighters who handle emergency fires.

Origins The Funny River Road wildfire was first reported on a horse trail three miles south of the Soldotna Airport at 4:15 p.m. Monday. Sarah Donchi, who lives on Funny River Road, said she has used the trail for horse expeditions but it doesn’t get a lot of use in the summer. “It is not much of a trail,” she said. “It’s more of a winter trail for skiers but there are some hikers and hunters who probably use it.” The trail was cleared five years ago after the Shanta Creek fire in 2009, that consumed more than 13,000 acres, she said. Along the trail in the refuge, the forest is old growth and black spruce trees. It it is extremely dry, she said. “The whole area needs to burn to get rid of all the dry

cro-management and it would be too time-consuming for administration to track down a council member every time an ordinance or resolution would need to be introduced. Koch said the council still maintains authority on every piece of legislation that comes through their agenda. “This ordinance would limit how I conduct city business,” he said. “If I have abused my authority or done anything inappropriate I would like to hear about it.” Boyle said his intent was not to limit the administration’s job, but to bring the council into the process from the start. Molloy motioned to postpone the ordinance, but that motion failed 3-4. Kenai City Attorney Scott Bloom, who helps draft ordinances for council members, said if this ordinance passed, he advised the council he would seek sponsorship from the mayor first as a way to not show favoritism to any individual council member. The ordinance then failed 2-5 with Boyle and Molloy the two yes votes. The council voted to postpone Boyle’s other ordinance to amend city code for all city commissions and committees to be advisory to both the council and administration. Boyle said the idea for this ordinance has been a topic of discussion for about a year where issues came up about the clari-

brush,” Donchi said. “It started fairly close to us but it looks like it’s moving south and burning away.” She is not too worried about the fire moving in her direction but said she hooked up the horse trailers “just in case” when the fire burned within four miles of her home. With the firebreaks in place from the last fire in 2009, she said for the fire to come into her community it would have to burn through new firebreaks. As Central Peninsula residents awoke Wednesday morning, a haze of acrid smoke and ash had settled into communities along the fire’s western edge which parallels the Sterling Highway. Greg and Teresa Matranga, like many others in Kasilof, have been watching the looming ash cloud to the west, but got a nasty shock Wednesday when a neighbor’s house caught fire in Kasilof, sending threatening black smoke toward their property from the east. Soldotna Emergency Services responded to a fully engulfed cabin on Irish Hills Avenue and the Matrangas looked on as firefighters tried to keep the house fire from spreading. “It’s so dry, Teresa Matranga said. “I’d have been nervous even if there wasn’t a wildfire. The thing is, all the dry trees around it … that’s how they get started. One little spark gets out and ‘whoosh’ it goes up like a Roman Candle.” The Matranga’s tidy ranch sits on a gravel road, surrounded by towering trees that dwarf the houses in their neighborhood. The road has no sign, so Te-

fication of each commission’s role as advisor to the council. He said he appreciated when two parks and recreation commission members came to the council a few weeks back to voice their support of a playground proposal for Municipal Park because it builds good communication. Koch said the ordinance would eliminate the code provision making some boards advisory to both council and administration and other committees are advisory only to council. He said the if the proposed ordinance passed, all the committees would need to go through council for advice, which could tie them up. Presently, the harbor, parks and recreation, library and beautification committees seek direction only from administration. The council decided to draft an ordinance for each commission and will bring them back one at a time for discussion at the second meeting in August. The council did pass four ordinances Tuesday. One was to appropriate a $250,000 grant form the Alaska Department of Commerce Community and Economic Development for the Kenai bluff stabilization project. Another approved $2,769 in cash seizures to move into the Kenai Police Department budget.

resa Matranga flagged down CES responders to guide them to the fire at her neighbor’s house. The heat from the neighbor’s house mixed with the heat from the Funny River wildfire, but smoke was not as thick Wednesday afternoon as it had been Tuesday, Teresa Matranga said. Greg Matranga said he got up at 4 a.m. Wednesday and the sun was obscured and discolored by the smoke cloud. “It was so red it was like Armageddon,” he said with a laugh. Teresa said the whole property was engulfed in smoke from the wildfire for most of Tuesday and Wednesday. “It smelled like a campfire and it was all nice and lovely, but then it started to get kind of intense.” As she spoke two dogs, a pitbull and a pomeranian, barked wildly in the back of a car parked on the Matranga’s property. They had been rescued from the house fire, she said. Nelson said the house fire was not related to the nearby wildfire. The home was fully engulfed by the time crews arrived at about 1:30 p.m. and crews put out the fire and surrounding vegetation to ensure it didn’t spread, he said. Afterward, the Division of Forestry checked the scene to make sure the fire was out. Near Mile 103 of the Sterling Highway, Stacy Schweigel and her family have been watching the fire develop from her deck. “We have a panoramic view of the mountains normally, but

now we have a panoramic view of the fire. We’re just praying the wind doesn’t turn.” Schweigel, whose horses and family are ready to be packed out at a moment’s notice, said the Funny River fire isn’t the first to threaten her family. “When we lived in Montana, we were in one of the biggest fires they had and we had like 40 horses we had to evacuate,” she said. “I’ve been right in the middle of a terrible, terrible, terrible wildfire.” Photos from that fire are now hanging on the wall in her Soldotna home. “I’m like, OK, two times is too many,” she said, laughing. As the fire continues to develop, the Homer Electric Association has raised concerns about two high-voltage transmission lines running between Kasilof and Soldotna. HEA personnel flew over the fire area Tuesday and the fire appeared to be about four miles east of the lines, but smoke made a similar flyover difficult Wednesday morning and crews were unable to tell how far the fire was from the lines, according to an HEA media release. HEA personnel will try again Wednesday evening, according to the release. At this time, there are no plans to disrupt service, according to the release. Funny River Road remained open to resident traffic Wednesday to allow people to attend graduation ceremonies. Forestry spokeswoman Michelle Weston cautioned drivers in the area to go slow and watch for fire crews who access the area. Alexandrou said the Nurses

Cabin on Tustumena Lake came close to being the first structure lost. Fire burned right up to it, but the cabin did not burn and is safe, he said. Air attack will continue Thursday as two Conair tanker planes will dump retardant in the west fire line to protect the Kasilof community. Airdrops stalled Wednesday morning due to the smoke, which reduced visibility, but resumed in the afternoon after it cleared up, Weston said. The borough has set up a hotline for calls and reminds residents evacuation planning is in place and information can be found on their website. For more information on the fire call 714-2495. Information booths have been set up at the Kasilof Mercantile Store and at the Fred Meyer and Safeway in Soldotna, Weston said. Air Quality Advisories are in effect for Southcentral Alaska. Information about smoke is available from the Alaska Department of Environmental Conservation at http://dec.alaska.gov/air/am/smoke.htm CES is urging residents who live near the fire to stay aware and be prepared.

ditional culverts in Buoy Street and that water is being monitored to see where it goes at the end of the street. However, he said Buoy Street was constructed with ditches to dissipate water down, not to drain water to other places. Karluk Avenue also got additional drainage put in and drains and culverts were put in Eastway Road, he said. Patrick Drive is the low point off of Eastway Road, Navarre said. “So we’re trying to figure out if there is a way, if the water is moving in that direction, that we can get it moved down Patrick (Drive) or get it into some natural drainages or if in fact there are places where we can build additional drainages,” Navarre said. If the water is moved to the shoreline side of K-Beach, Navarre said officials need to determine what happens to the water from there. “Giving Mr. Yragui permits to go out and start digging is a bad idea,” he said. Navarre said he has talked with both Yragui and his hydrologist previously about the proposed canal. The borough is working with the Alaska Department of Natural Resources to come up with an “overall best solution” to the issue, Navarre said.

“I can appreciate the challenges that you’re up against,” Pierce said. He asked the administration to expeditiously come up with some answers for those for K-Beach residents. He said the borough should take advantage of the dry weather to work in the area. “I know sometimes quick decisions are maybe the wrong ones and maybe you make a few wrong ones out there … but I would like to see this resolved for the folks that live in that area,” Pierce said. Navarre said some bad decisions probably have been made in the K-Beach area, but a lot of good ones were made and a lot of borough resources have gone toward the issue. “We are going to try to do as much as we can within the scope of our responsibility of this ... to make sure that we prevent to the best of our ability the type of incident that we had last year, but there are no simple solutions,” Navarre said. “We are not going to rush into a bad and expensive decision that pushes the problem someplace else.” High water table issues aren’t specific to K-Beach. While the area was largely affected, residents from Nikiski to Homer have experienced problems as well with high groundwater.

the ditches along each side,” he said. Yragui said his hydrologist suggested a cannel at the end of Buoy Street and the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers has OK’d the project. But more permissions are required. Assembly member Charlie Pierce asked Borough Mayor Mike Navarre if he had a plan. “Absolutely,” Navarre said. Navarre said as a second-class borough, officials are limited to what actions they can take to protect infrastructure and roads. However, he said crews shot elevation to determine where water was going. The borough also brought in a hydrologist as well as the person who originally mapped the area wetlands. They discovered water was in unexpected places and in other places where water should be there wasn’t any. The fall flood occurred for a variety of reasons including high snow load and high precipitation throughout a few years. The roads in the area weren’t designed for a major flood event, Navarre said. He said crews have put ad-

Peninsula soccer teams looking for region crown A hot season ends while a hotter postseason begins in Wasilla as teams play for state berths By JEFF HELMINIAK Peninsula Clarion

Last season, soccer teams were looking at a forecast of temperatures in the 40s and possible rain and snow for the Northern Lights Conference soccer tournament. What a difference a year makes. This year, the forecast is for sunny skies and highs in the 60s on Thursday, Friday and Saturday. The tourney will be contested on the artificial turf fields at Colony and Wasilla high schools. “There won’t be the equalizing factor of bad weather or field conditions,” Soldotna boys coach Jeff Siemers said. “This will be the first regional tournament on all-turf fields.” Siemers said the turf should benefit the faster, higher-skilled teams. In other words, let the best team win. Teams must win today to keep their seasons alive. On Friday, a win nets a state berth and a championship appearance. A loss sets up a Saturday third-place match in which only the winner gets a state berth. Here is a closer look at today’s games:

Soldotna girls vs. Palmer, 11 a.m. at Colony The Stars finished 12-0 overall to earn the top seed out of the Southern Division. SoHi has won the conference three of the past four years and has been to state five of the past six years. Kenai is the only team to get within two goals of SoHi, which has allowed just two goals all season. The Kards lost 3-1 and 1-0 to SoHi this season. SoHi topped Palmer 6-0. But coach Jimmy Love knows all of that means absolutely nothing. “All the records go out the window,” he said. “They mean absolutely nothing.” Love said a 1-0 victory over Kenai on Saturday, in which SoHi didn’t score until the final minute, could serve as a wakeup call. “That’s the result of not playing our A game,” Love said. “I’ve said from day one that if we don’t come and play our A game, it’s anybody’s game.” Love is very confident in a defense anchored by goalie Katelynn Kerkvliet. But teams can’t win without scoring, and that’s what almost cost the

Stars against the Kards. “I don’t care if it’s Hope Solo in net,” Love said. “We have to find a way to finish.” Love said the key is to play as a team, and not use solely individual effort to get goals. Kylee Wolfe leads the Stars with 15 goals and 11 assists, while Julie Litchfield has five goals and 13 assists, Olivia Conradi has nine goals and nine assists, Alyssa Wolfe has 12 goals and three assists, and Skylar Shaw has three goals and eight assists.

tle between Homer and Colony late Saturday afternoon, but getting past Palmer, then Wasilla or Soldotna to get there is a great challenge for us,” he wrote. Homer has a strong defense in front of goalie Brian Rowe, and Waldorf wrote that getting more than one kickoff against Homer is not easy. The team then finishes enough chances to compile its sterling record. Waldorf said key players in the success have been John Walsworth, Flynn Bloom, Filip Reutov, Drew Brown, Quinn Daugharty and Kenneth Schneider. After missing state last season, Waldorf is hoping to get back to the form that resulted in a fourth-place finish in 2012. “If we’re all healthy, I don’t see why our next loss can’t be pushed off until next year,” he wrote.

The Mariners earned the top seed from the south by finishing 10-1-0, including a 1-0 victory over the Moose. Homer’s lone loss is to Colony, and coach Warren Waldorf is not conceding the tournament to the Knights. “Colony is the ubiquitous choice,” Kenai girls vs. Colony, he wrote in an email. “Personally, I 3 p.m. at Colony like Homer.” While Waldorf would not be surThe Kards finished 6-3-1 to earn prised to see Nos. 1 and 2 seeds bat- the second seed out of the south.

Los Angeles Kings’ Jake Muzzin (6) celebrates with Marian Gaborik (12), Alec Martinez (27) and Anze Kopitar (11) after scoring during the third period in Game 2 of the Western Conference finals in the NHL hockey Stanley Cup playoffs, against the Chicago Blackhawks in Chicago on Wednesday.

Kings take down Blackhawks After trailing 2-0, Los Angeles scores six unanswered on Chicago JAY COHEN AP Sports Writer

CHICAGO (AP) — Jeff Carter and the Los Angeles Kings know how to come back in the playoffs. This was no big deal compared to the first two rounds. Carter scored three of Los Angeles’ six straight goals, and the Kings beat the Chicago Blackhawks 6-2 on Wednesday night to even the Western Conference final at a game apiece. Tyler Toffoli and Jake

Muzzin also scored in Los Angeles’ five-goal third period to help the Kings become the first visiting team to win in Chicago this postseason. The Blackhawks won their first seven home playoff games this year, but the Kings skated right by Chicago after the defending Stanley Cup champion Blackhawks took a 2-0 lead in the second period. “Just sticking with what we need to do,” Carter said. “You know, we got a good group of leaders in our room. We’ve been through comebacks and

whatnot a lot lately. Obviously, not something we want to do. But we stick with it, grind it out, get the job done.” The early deficit was just a small speed bump for Los Angeles, dubbed the comeback Kings for their play in the opening two rounds. Los Angeles trailed 3-0 in its first playoff series against San Jose, and won four straight games to eliminate the Sharks. The Kings overcame a 3-2 series deficit in the second round against top-seeded Anaheim. “We know we can win,” for-

ward Jarret Stoll said. “That’s the bottom line. They’ve got a good team, but we feel we do too.” Game 3 of the best-of-seven series is Saturday night in Los Angeles. Nick Leddy and Ben Smith scored for Chicago, which won 3-1 in Game 1 on Sunday. “The way it turned on a dime like that, I don’t know if we’ve seen a game like that all year where we’re doing everything all right and all of a sudden it was a disaster,” Blackhawks coach Joel Quenneville said.

SAN ANTONIO (AP) — The San Antonio Spurs are rolling toward a return to the NBA Finals, and Oklahoma City looks powerless to slow them down without Serge Ibaka. Tony Parker scored 22 points, Danny Green made seven 3-pointers and added 21, and the Spurs used a dominant third quarter to decimate the Thunder 112-77 on Wednesday night and take a 2-0 lead in the Western Conference finals. Tim Duncan added 14 points and 12 rebounds, and Manu Ginobili and Boris Diaw had 11 points apiece off the bench in San Antonio’s second straight rout. “We just did our job. We won our first two games at home and I’m sure they’re going to go back and say we have to do our job and win two games at home,” Parker said, recalling that the Spurs blew a 2-0 lead against the Thunder in the 2012 West finals.

Oklahoma City’s Kevin Durant and Russell Westbrook each had 15 points, but the third-quarter barrage made spectators of both — not that they accomplished much when they did play. The star duo combined to shoot 13 for 40, including 4 for 14 in the third quarter. Game 3 is Sunday at Oklahoma City, and the Spurs are trying to remind themselves it probably won’t remain this easy. “Manu said it’s a dangerous win but I believe in our group,” Green said. “I believe that we have the maturity, the character and the experience to stay focused and not take this win to head.” Playing without the injured Ibaka and given two days to adjust to dropping Game 1 by 17 points, the Thunder performed worse. San Antonio closed the first half on a 25-8 run, then Parker and Green each had eight points in the third quarter as San Antonio outscored Oklahoma City 33-18. See BALL, page A-9

Sports Briefs SoHi-Homer softball rescheduled Due to the fire and smoky air conditions, Soldotna’s trip to Homer was cancelled and will be Wednesday, May 28, at 2 and 4 p.m. Also, Soldotna’s May 23 game has been rescheduled as a home game. The Palmer Moose will visit the Stars, and will then face Kenai Saturday.

Homer rallies to top SoHi baseball The Mariners scored the winning run in the bottom of the seventh inning with the bases loaded. Soldotna pitcher Clayton Justice walked four Homer batters in the inning and the Mariners went from trailing 5-4 to winning the game 6-5 in the inning. SoHi managed to score a “few timely hits,” according to coach George Stein, including from Justice and Justice Miller. Tyler Covey went the first four innings on the mound for SoHi, giving up four runs. The loss leaves the Stars with a 1-7 overall and Northern Lights Conference record.

from the north and the defending conference champ, 5-0 this season. Kenai is seeking a sixth trip to state during head coach Dan Verkuilen’s tenure. The task will be made tougher by the absence of four starters. Allie Ostrander will be running track, while Cori Holmes, Cassie Holmes and Hannah Drury are battling injury. But Kenai gained confidence from sticking with Soldotna on Saturday. “We’ll just be pulling up more freshmen and sophomores,” Verkuilen said. “I think they’ll step up.” One area where the Kards remain healthy is defense, with Allie Steinbeck in goal and Kylie Morse, Caitlin Steinbeck, Heidi Perkins and Jamie Bagley protecting her. Verkuilen is fully expecting the trip to state to come down to a few key moments where the Kards finish or they don’t. “Over 17 years, that’s how it is,” he said. “Especially in round one, everybody is playing with guts if they care. There’s a lot of great effort and that’s why we’ve been practicing penalty kicks, because you see a lot of overtime, double overtime and penalty shots.” Kenai boys vs. Grace, 5 p.m. at Colony

The Kards are flying high after ending their season at 6-31 overall to capture the No. 2 seed from the south. Kenai, which has not been to state since 2008, defeated Grace 3-0 earlier in the season. Kards head coach John Morton said Grace was missing players in that game due to SAT testing. “I still think we have a good shot at winning, but this is not going to be an easy game,” he said. Since a disappointing loss the Wasilla, Morton said his squad has been on the upswing and is peaking for regions. He said the Kards are heavy on seniors, which is good, but the problem is those athletes have to graduate Wednesday night and play today. TJ Wagoner is Kenai’s big scorer, and Morton said he needs to do just that in the tourney. Center midfielders Trevor Shirnberg, Nate Narlock and Austin McKee also must control the action. Homer girls vs. Palmer, 1 p.m. at Wasilla The Mariners finished 4-3-2 overall to take the No. 3 seed out of the south and draw No. 2 seed Grace. Homer lost to Grace earlier in the year. Last season, Homer, which is chasing its first state berth since 2007, also met Grace in the first round and lost. Soldotna boys vs. Wasilla, 5 p.m. at Wasilla The Stars, who finished 5-52 for the third spot in the south, face a tough first-round match-

up if they hope to earn a chance at a second-straight state bid. SoHi lost 5-2 to the Warriors early in the season. The possession in the game was a lot more even than the final score. “It’s just a matter of taking advantage of our opportunities and finishing,” Soldotna coach Jeff Siemers said. The good news for the Stars is that Kayne North is back healthy after battling injury this season. Ty Fenton, SoHi’s best scorer, also was hurt during the Wasilla game but is now healthy. Siemers said midfielders, such as Dylan Kuntz and Charalambos Asimakopoulos, must hold up against Wasilla to keep the Warriors speedy forwards from getting a free run at the defense. “I think we can play with any team in the region,” Siemers said. “It’s a matter of having confidence and playing all 80 minutes.”

The Bulldogs, No. 4 at 1-82, are playing their best soccer heading into the matchup with the top-seeded Warriors. After topping Skyview 2-0 on Friday, Nikiski kept No. 2 Grace scoreless until 20 minutes remained in a 2-0 loss. The Bulldogs are seeking their first-ever win in a firstround game at the conference tournament. “We have a lot of excitement going into regions,” Nikiski coach Mandy Adair said. “We’re rolling off that Grace game. “We understand now what we need to do against teams that possess the ball and move it quickly.” The Bulldogs have one of the top goalies in the state in Rachel Thompson. Adair also said Hannah Love will be vital at sweeper, and Katie Costello will provide leadership. “These girls want to make every team that beats us have to fight,” Adair said. “They want to prove they can play with the big dogs. “They’re always hungry come region time wanting that first win.”

Nikiski boys vs. Colony, 1 p.m. at Colony The Bulldogs, at 4-6-1 overall, face a tough task as a No. 4 seed going against top seed Colony. The Knights have just one loss and one tie in 22 games. Coburn said his team, coming from a school of less than 250, looks forward to battling schools of over 1,000 students. “Just getting to regions is a big deal to us,” Coburn said. “We’re play in the 4A arena. We don’t get to do that in any other sport.” The coach said the recipe for upset is to play good defense and weather Colony’s attacks, then sneak in a goal at some point. He said captains Garrett Feller, Jesse Eide, Michael Stangel and Christian Riddall are important because Nikiski plays four seniors and three juniors, with the rest being underclassmen.

and we’ll figure it out.” It was a shocking turn for the Thunder, who started well. “It definitely doesn’t feel good and it shouldn’t,” Thunder coach Scott Brooks said. “I hope our locker doesn’t feel good. You shouldn’t feel good. We got our butts kicked. But we have a good opportunity to come back and win Game 3.” Oklahoma City opened more aggressive on both ends, especially defensively. The physicality disrupted the Spurs early and frustrated them emotionally. Duncan was issued a technical with about 5 minutes left in the first quarter after complaining when Ed Malloy ruled he threw a hip into Durant. It turned out the Spurs veteran had little to worry about, as the Thunder finished just 4 for 9 on free throws. The Thunder scored five straight to open the game, with Westbrook’s 3 capping the early run and producing what would become their largest lead of the series at 5-0.

King season starts slow By RASHAH MCCHESNEY Peninsula Clarion

The season is starting off slow, but anglers targeting king salmon are making their way down the Kenai Peninsula for a Memorial Day weekend of fishing on the lower peninsula streams. Several changes in king salmon regulations, alongside low returns of king salmon may have been to blame for the slow start to the Anchor River’s king salmon season — however, several people in Anchor River campgrounds said they expected to see larger crowds during the Memorial Day weekend. At Trustworthy Hardware in Soldotna on Wednesday, Allan Yost, of Ninilchik, considered several kinds of hooks. “I make my own lures, but I’m going to need some hooks eventually,” Yost said. Typically, he prefers siwash, or open eye, hooks because they’re easy to clamp on and off of a lure, he said. Yost plans to fish Deep Creek or the Anchor River for king salmon this coming weekend. “Sometimes I fish the Ninilchik, but the Ninilchik hasn’t been very good the last couple of years,” he said. Fishing Deep Creek will be interesting, he said, as flooding in 2013 changed the riverbed. “It wiped out all of the usual fishing holes,” he said. New regulations and pre-sea-

son emergency orders issued by the Alaska Department of Fish and Game may change the way he fishes as well, he said. The combined annual limit for the Anchor River, Deep Creek, Ninilchik River and all marine waters south of the mouth of the Ninilchik River down to bluff has been reduced to two king salmon, 20 inches or greater in length. For Yost, this means he may

be letting more kings go. “If I catch two fish and then I have to be done on those two rivers for the rest of the year, I’ll have a tendency to release my fish this weekend,” he said. Any angler who harvests a king salmon, 20 inches or greater from any of the three streams is required to stop fishing for any species on those streams for the rest of the day. The Anchor River is also closed to sport fishing on Wednesdays. The restrictions are part of several put in place by Fish and Game designed to protect struggling king salmon runs in the Cook Inlet. The Anchor River king salmon opener began at midnight May 16, but many of the campsites at the Anchor River State Recreation Area were empty. Fishers blamed poor king salmon returns. “I think it’s because of the bad reports we’ve been getting,” said Gail Sheffield, a field supervisor for Alaska Recreational Management Inc., a concessionare for Alaska State Parks. Sheffield said Saturday that the sites were seeing about half of the normal attendance for an opening weekend. “No one wants to drive down to try to catch a king,” she said.

For those uninterested in kings, options abound By KELLY SULLIVAN Peninsula Clarion

Trout Fishing for rainbow and Dolly Varden trout on the Kenai River between the mouth of the river and Torpedo Hole, Jason Pawluk, assistant management biologist with the Department of Fish and Game, said. No treble hooks, baiting or scents are allowed, Pawluk said. Only single hooks can be used to fish with. After June 10 the entire river will be open for trout fishing, from Torpedo Hole up to Skilak Lake, once they are finished spawning, Pawluk said. The theme right now for fishing is “it’s kind of slow,” Pawluk said. The water is low and dirty right now, and rainbows are nearing spawning season, which means even fewer locations to legally fish.

Kings Fishing for king salmon is closed on the Kenai River until June 30, Pawluk said. Hatchery Kings can be fished on the Kasilof River, but no more than one per day, Pawluk said. Their missing Adipose fin

distinguishes hatchery salmon, Pawluk said. A healed scar will be in it’s place. No treble hooks, baiting or scents are allowed. Only single hooks can be used to fish with, Pawluk said. Pawluk said few catches have been reported so far. He does not know whether to attribute this to low efforts or slow fishing. Water levels are also low on the Kasilof. On the lower peninsula streams, the Ninilchik, Anchor Rivers and Deep Creek will be open to fishing from 12:01 a.m. Saturday through midnight Monday. Water conditions are good are good and levels are low, anglers should expect poor to fair fishing for king salmon, according to a Fish and Game fishing report. For better success, try fishing in the early morning and at the mouth of these streams on the incoming tide. There have been changes to the king salmon regulations on the lower Kenai Peninsula streams and these are in effect through June 30. — The combined annual limit of king salmon 20-inches or greater in length has been reduced to two from May 1-June 30 in the Anchor River, Deep

Creek, Ninilchik River and all marine waters south of the mouth of the Ninilchik River down to Bluff Point. — after harvesting a king salmon 20 inches or greater from either the Anchor River, Deep Creek, or the Ninilchik river anglers must stop fishing in those streams for the rest of the day. — Anglers may only use one unbaited, single-hook with an artificial lure on the Anchor River, Deep Creek and Ninilchik River. — The Ninilchik River king salmon bag and possession limit is one wild or hatchery-reared fish during regular weekend openings in May and June but beginning July 1, it is reduced to one hatchery-reared king salmon. — The Anchor River is closed to sport fishing on Wednesdays.

Hooligan Pawluk has heard some reports of hooligan on the lower Kenai River. However, it is still early in the season to be seeing many.

Steelhead

It’s the time of year for steelhead trout to be migrating downstream, but Fish and Game suggests familiarizing yourself with the differences between kings and steelhead. Steelhead are a catch-andreelease fish that cannot be removed from the water and must be released immediately in the lower peninsula streams.

Poet’s

Corner

Still Deeply In Love By Brett Van Sickle, Kenai

Each week spent together, I still find in my heart. This deep lonely feeling, each time spent apart. It never gets better, until home comes the day. I already feel comfort, like a great weight lifted away. So I write down these words, thrown together with rhyme. Because when I’m without you, it helps pass the time. When back in your arms, together at last. It doesn’t seem so long, the time that has past. I just wanted to tell you, like the heavens above. Our hearts belong together, still deeply in love. Poems must include the writer’s name, phone number and address. They should be kept to no more than 300 words. Submission of a poem does not guarantee publication. Poems may be e-mailed to news@peninsulaclarion. com, faxed to 283-3299, delivered to the Clarion at 150 Trading Bay Road or mailed to P.O. Box 3009, Kenai, AK 99611.

This film image released by Warner Bros. Pictures shows a scene from “Godzilla.”

‘Godzilla’s back with a vengeance “Godzilla” Warner Bros. 2 hours, 3 minutes Godzilla, as a character, has been around a long time. The original Japanese film, “Gojira” was first released in 1954 and since then there have been more than 60 different iterations. I remember the original “Godzilla” mostly from a series of library books that chronicled old monster movies. These short synopsis were padded mostly with black and white photos, leaving room for a scant amount of actual text. Naturally, these were some of the most popular volumes to choose at book report time. “The Wolf Man,” “Dracula, “Creature from the Black Lagoon,” all were big hits, but I always returned to “Godzilla.” I liked that he wasn’t really bad, just misunderstood. He was a force of nature, which made him cooler somehow than the typical screen villains. In 1984, there was a new big-screen Godzilla movie, but by then I was over it. It all seemed so fake and silly. When, in 1998, Roland Emmerich attempted to reboot the big green lizard, I was completely sold. After all, this was the guy who made

R eeling It In C hris J enness “Independence Day,” a movie I loved, and the trailers promised a cooler, somehow more realistic look at this legendary monster. The movie came out and I, like most people not really versed in classic kaiju cinema (these are the giant monster/robot movies of Japan in the 50s and 60s) thought it was a lot of fun. Not great, but fun. But the more I read, and the more I watched, and the more vintage film I digested, I could see that the 1998 “Godzilla” was completely off as far as tone. Goofy, overly complicated, and with a central monster who looked too much like a real lizard, Emmerich and crew had missed the point. Jump ahead sixteen years and now we have a new “Godzilla,” this time directed by Gareth Edwards, the man who gave us the understated, low-budget, high concept

creature feature “Monsters” a few years ago. Edwards smartly retains the big budget feel, but jettisons the goofy and creates a creature-feature unlike any we’ve seen in quite a while. “Godzilla” is smart, funny, chilling, and most of all, a crackerjack edge-of-your-seat action thriller that nicely balances the human stories with the CGI ones. With the opening credits, we are rocketed through the 50s where we learn, via archival footage and old newspaper clippings, that the hydrogen bomb tests in the Pacific were actually attempts to destroy a giant pre-historic creature that may or may not have stomped Tokyo at one point. Jumping ahead several decades, we land at Japanese Nuclear power plant where Bryan Cranston, as an American engineer working for the plant, has raised alarms about anomalous readings he’s noticed. (There’s always anomalous readings in these movies. It’s great foreshadowing.) It’s not long before the plant is coming down around his ears and the plot shifts into high gear. From here the action takes us to the present, and to the U.S., where we follow Ford Brody, son of the aforementioned engineer, played by Aaron TaylorSee REEL, page B-2

Professionals capture canine memories By SUE MANNING Associated Press

LOS ANGELES — It takes more than a squeaky toy and a camera to capture memorable pet portraits. Professional pet photographers in the increasingly competitive business quiz owners about their dogs’ personalities, find the ideal setting and use favorite toys to bring out the best in the animals they shoot, knowing that portraits will outlive the pets themselves. “I spend time getting them to trust me so I can reach into their soul,” said Rachael Hale McKenna of New Zealand, who just released her 15th book, “The Dogs of New York.” Twenty years ago, most people didn’t think to put their pet in a family photo or on the annual Christmas card. Today, both are likely to be built around a beloved animal. And the older a pet gets, the more people think about professional portraits. McKenna and two other

well-known pet photographers live continents apart and all specialize in candid photos of dogs in their favorite places, not in a studio. They spend time with people and pets before the session starts, and they know the importance of immortalizing aging animals. Jenna Leigh Teti (TAY’-tee) of Jersey City, New Jersey offers a package for very old or terminally ill dogs. “It’s an important shoot for me, a special thing to capture for someone,” she said. “And it’s happening more frequently.” To catch the quirks that bring photos to life, Teti and Los Angeles-area photographer Lori Fusaro send letters before an appointment. Teti asks clients to pick out a celebrity their dog resembles for clues about their relationship. A bulldog owner named Tony Soprano, the mafia boss on the HBO series. The owner of a small mixed breed cited Cary Grant, “because he really knew how to charm the ladies

Action, some of it explicit, in latest novel Bookworm Sez You need to change things up. A new sense of style is called-for, a new job, new digs, maybe a new outlook on everything. Out with the old, in with the new, different, exciting. Your old life isn’t working for you these days and that goes doubly for Debbie Dare. In the new book “Debbie Doesn’t Do It Anymore” by Walter Mosley (c.2014, Doubleday, $25.95, 266 pages), it’ll be time for a change — if she survives. The day that Debbie Dare learned of her husband’s death had started out like any other: she went to work, naked, on her back, and wished her co-star would hurry up as she feigned passion for yet another porn film. But there was no faking her surprise when she arrived home at the end of the day and found the front yard filled with cops. The housekeeper had found Debbie’s husband, Theon, dead. He’d accidentally electrocuted himself in the bathtub — along

with a naked teenager who was apparently auditioning for Theon’s films. Debbie supposed she loved Theon. He didn’t beat her. They were as compatible as was possible, but he spent too much money — a fact that was underscored when a loan shark showed up at the door, hours after Theon’s death, and demanded that Debbie pay up on the money Theon borrowed. It was the last straw. Once upon a time, Debbie Dare was known as Sandra Peel. She was her parents’ only daughter, the middle child of three, and she was wild. At fifteen, she was working on her knees in a parking lot, which was where she met the much-older Theon and her life changed. It was about to change again because, though Theon had left her broke and she was about to be homeless, Debbie was done with porn. Or was she? When the loan shark sold his debt to an L.A. mobster, Debbie was given an ultimatum: pay up or act again, a choice that she wasn’t going to make.

Jay Z opens 40/40 Club at Atlanta airport By JONATHAN LANDRUM Jr. Associated Press

In this Feb. 4, 2009 file photo, tourists walk down Lombard Street, known as “the crookedest street in the world,” in San Francisco. San Francisco’s crooked street could soon be closed to tourists in the summertime.

San Francisco to close crooked street this summer SAN FRANCISCO (AP) — San Francisco will temporarily close a popular tourist spot that’s known as the “Crookedest Street in The World.” The city’s Municipal Transportation Agency unanimously voted on Tuesday to ban vehicles along a stretch of Lombard Street, the oft-photographed, well-traveled curvy and winding thoroughfare, for four consecutive weekends. The closure begins in late June and includes the Fourth of July weekend.

MTA spokesman Paul Rose says that an average of 2,000 vehicles per day travel on the street during that period. The temporary closing came at the request of Supervisor Mark Farrell. There was a steady stream of complaints by residents wanting to curb the street’s chronic gridlock mostly due to curious tourists, especially during the summer. The city will evaluate what impact the temporary closure will have.

ATLANTA — Jay Z brought his 40/40 Club to the world’s busiest airport on Wednesday, with the opening the swanky bar’s third location. 40/40 is open to ticketed passengers at Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport, according to spokeswoman Victoria Hong of Delaware North Companies, which partners with the rap mogul. The sports bar is in the airport’s Concourse D concessions area, Hong said. “We want to have the same type of feel as the regular 40/40 Club,” Hong said. “It’s the airport version of the 40/40 Club.” Airport concessions director Paul Brown said there are plans to create a VIP lounge area of the club, separate from the sports bar — at 1,500 square feet (140 sq. meters)— on a different floor. The lounge is expected to open in the late fall, Brown said. Brown called the lounge a “scaled down” replica of original club. 40/40 restaurant and lounges also are located in Manhattan and the Barclays Center in Brooklyn. Jay Z also had clubs in Las Vegas and Atlantic City, New Jersey, but both closed. 40/40 is known at the New York locations for its live music and sports memorabilia and for attracting sports celebrities and music stars such as Nicki Minaj and Lil Wayne. The original Manhattan location opened in 2003, with Jay Z and business partner Juan Perez. 40/40 was named after the rare feat among ballplayers of hitting 40 homers and stealing 40 bases in one season.

In this Oct. 10, 2013 file photo, U.S singer Jay Z performs on stage at the o2 arena in east London, as part of his Magna Carta World Tour. Jay Z is opening his 40/40 Club at the world’s busiest airport based in Atlanta. A spokeswoman from the company dealing with the rapper says the club will be a two-level sports bar that will open first pending approval of a liquor license, and lounge to open after in the fall 2014 for ticketed passengers at Hartsfield-Jackson International Airport.

ganization headed by an oddly morose Ken Watanabe has been studying the creature, but now it’s loose. Not to worry, however. There just happens to be another ancient beast, one with a distinctively spiky back and a penchant for breathing fire who really doesn’t like the MUTO. I think you can see where this is going. “Godzilla” is, in a word, a blast. What’s remarkable is that Edwards has created a near perfect balance of the real and unreal. Godzilla doesn’t look nearly as much like an actual animal as he did in the 1998 version, but that’s the problem. Godzilla is a character and the old man-in-

suit style allowed that character to come through. This current version of the monster is a CGI creation, not an actor in a rubber costume, but the personality is still there and, though a little fakey and silly at times, the effect is a lot of fun. The weak link in this film are the humans, none of whom really rise to their absolute potential, but it’s a small complaint. None of the actors does a poor job either, and they keep the plot rolling without a problem. One complaint I’ve been hearing is that you never get to see the monsters, but I didn’t feel that at all. Edwards doesn’t linger on Godzilla, in particu-

lar, in the first half of the film, but by the end you get all the monster action you could want, especially during a climactic battle that had members of my audience whooping and clapping. Gareth Edwards has given us a “Godzilla” for all true Godzilla fans, and a movie that will create a whole generation of new ones. Grade: A “Godzilla” is rated PG-13 for intense sequences of destruction, mayhem and creature violence.

Crossword

Middle-aged homebody’s future is a serious concern for family DEAR ABBY: Our niece “Bonnie” has severe attachment problems. She still lives in her parents’ home and is well into her 50s. Her father passed away several years ago, and her mother seems to be her only friend. Bonnie has never had a serious relationship and has spent her life at one job and with her parents. Vacations and holidays have been spent with them only. Bonnie rarely accepts an invitation unless her mom is invited, does not communicate unless we reach out to her first and is very private about the smallest details in her life. Her mother is aging and we are wondering how Bonnie will manage once her mom is gone. How do we approach someone who seriously needs help and guidance? — CARING AUNT IN PITTSBURGH DEAR CARING AUNT: I can think of two ways. The first would be to discuss this privately with Bonnie’s mother and ask if there is anything she would like you to do for her daughter in the event of a serious illness or her death. It is a legitimate question if Bonnie is unable to live independently, and her mother might appreciate that you cared enough to ask. The second would be to reach out to Bonnie in the event that something does happen to her mother, and let her know that you love her and will be

there for her if she needs you. Keep in mind that you cannot force help on anyone who is unwilling to accept it.

So work on your grades and your personality right now. If you do, in time you’ll not only catch up to these girls, you will surpass them in the qualities that matter most. You’re fine just the way you are.

DEAR ABBY: I’m 11 and in the sixth grade. I am very self-conscious. Every girl in my grade has a bigger chest than me, and I am feeling insecure because mine isn’t Abigail Van Buren developed. I know I am young, but I want to fit in. Every day I feel horrible about myself. Can you help? — INSECURE 6TH GRADER DEAR INSECURE: I’ll try. No two people are alike, and our bodies do not develop at the same time. For some girls, it happens sooner and they begin to develop breasts as early as age 9. For others, it doesn’t happen until they are in their teens. Your value should not be measured by your chest size. Believe me, the size of your IQ is far more important. The kind of person you are is more important. Big chests have a way of falling sooner or later.

DEAR ABBY: When spending thousands of dollars to attend a destination wedding, are you expected to give a gift to the bride and groom? — JENNIFER IN NEW YORK DEAR JENNIFER: Yes, but after shelling out “thousands” to attend a wedding, it does not have to be an expensive one. A token gift to mark the occasion would be enough. Dear Abby is written by Abigail Van Buren, also known as Jeanne Phillips, and was founded by her mother, Pauline Phillips. Contact Dear Abby at www. DearAbby.com or P.O. Box 69440, Los Angeles, CA 90069. To receive a collection of Abby’s most memorable — and most frequently requested — poems and essays, send your name and mailing address, plus check or money order for $7 (U.S. funds) to: Dear Abby — Keepers Booklet, P.O.

Hints from Heloise

Jacqueline Bigar’s Stars A baby born today has a Sun in Gemini and a Moon in Pisces. HAPPY BIRTHDAY for Thursday, May 22, 2014: This year you experience career-related demands. You will do your best to keep up with your work, and perhaps you’ll cater to a select few. You might be quite different in a professional setting from how you are in your personal life. This schism sometimes creates tension. If you are single, you will want to relate more closely to someone who feels like the right match for you. Give yourself a little time, and perhaps do a lot of dating. If you are attached, you will notice sooner rather than later that you will be relating to your significant other a lot more. You will feel like you are getting to know each other all over again. PISCES clearly enjoys your ability to talk about many different issues. 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) HHH Read between the lines with a boss. Note what is going on around you, and weigh the pros and cons of a situation. You will be happy once you get the results you desire. A family member or a hassle around your home suddenly seems more positive. Tonight: Where all the action is. TAURUS (April 20-May 20) HHHH Zero in on a friendship that means a lot to you. Your ability to get past an immediate hassle points to better interactions with people. You’ll see the results of sticking with it play out well. You now can look at the whole picture and decide if it is worth it. Tonight: Play it easy. GEMINI (May 21-June 20)

Husband wants to remove ring Dear Heloise: I read your column every morning in the Kerrville Daily Times. Help! I’m in the doghouse! I set a glass on my wife’s nice furniture, and it left a ring. How do I get it off? — Jack M. in Texas Don’t move into the doghouse just yet, Jack! Here is the updated Heloise Hint for removing rings on furniture: Start by getting nongel toothpaste. Mix a small amount of the toothpaste with some baking soda. Rub this mixture into the ring, making sure you rub in the direction of the grain of the furniture. Be prepared, because this takes time and patience to work. Once the ring appears to have gone, take a damp cloth and wipe the furniture. Finish with a good polishing. — Heloise Cage cover Dear Heloise: I use an old T-shirt to make a bird-cage cover to keep the seed hulls from being thrown out of the cage. Measure the height that you want to cover on your bird cage. On a flat surface, lay the shirt out flat, with the hems even. Measure the shirt from the bottom up and mark. Cut straight across the body of the shirt, through both layers. The bottom of the shirt will be the top of the cover. You can either thread a string through or just gather the material and tie. It is very easy to put on, adjust and tie. — A Reader, via email Dish-towel bib Dear Heloise: I often watch my grandchildren. I don’t keep any bibs at my house, so whenever we eat, I just wrap old dish towels around their necks (not tightly!) and tie them in the back. Keeps their clothes clean and their mom happy! — A Grandma in Illinois
